~ The Crimson Dragon's View ~

As Venus, Seto, and Kunzite have been informed. Both Serenity and I have kept on feeling some Shadow Miasma that has entered the kingdom. I tried to be calm as I tried to focus on where the Shadow Miasma is coming from.
It is defiantly from the two Dark Signers that I have informed everyone about. But I have also felt something else that I have never felt before. But still, my human body still gets some shivers about what I am feeling right now. "Chris," Serenity walks to my side. "Are you feeling alright?"
"I'm not sure Serenity," I shrugged. "I'm completely not sure."
"Are you positive?" Serenity asked me in concern, "You looked, very uncertain."
"I wished that I was positive about this Serenity," I spoke. "I wish that I was," Serenity gently put her hand on my human shoulder. I've felt something warm has now grown right within my human body. Suddenly, I started to notice these strange emotions inside of me. The sooner I realized that I have started to become more human than a dragon than I have realized while I was here to stay.
"Chris," Atem gets my attention. I turned to him, "Take a look at this," I walked toward him and we both looked through the window. Everyone followed. As we all looked out of the window, we suddenly saw something that wasn't supposed to be natural.
"What is that?" Seto asked.
"That," I replied. "That is called the Shadow Cloud."
"The Shadow Cloud?" Serenity echoed.
"It's a mixture of a cloud and a mist that can cover up this whole entire area," I explained.
"Okay, umm…" Atem almost lost some words, "What does it do?" he finally asked.
"It can let people disappear without a trace and send them to the Nether World as prisoners," I answered.
"What?" everyone jumped.
"Seriously?" Seto asked, "With that thing…without the use of the Shadow Games or a duel?"
"Afraid so," I nodded.
"Is there still time to evacuate the people out of it?" Venus asked.
"I'm afraid not," I shook my head. "There are so many people here that live on the moon, there won't be enough time to evacuate them all in time."
"She's right," Queen Serenity nodded. "No matter where they might go, on Earth or on another planet or galaxy. The darkness will still follow them, and spread like a disease itself."
"That is correct," I nodded.
"Then can you at least save them from this, somehow?" Atem asked.
"There is only one," I answered. "I can create a barrier that could allow the Shadow Cloud to fly over us and not be sent to the Nether World. But I only have enough strength to create a spell for one single place to protect the people, not at multiple places at a time."
"Only one place, but not multiple." Luna thought out loud, "That means only one building will be unharmed from this cloud that you spoke of instead of the whole kingdom itself. Right?"
"Correct," I nodded.
"So," Serenity spoke. "Let's let the people take shelter here, at the palace. That way, Chris will perform the spell for the barrier while our people stay in where that they are more comfortable."
I thought for a moment, then I felt my human mouth move to create a smile. "That could work," I nodded.
"Yes, it would." Artemis purred.
"That's the best idea that you have come up princess," Luna too purred.
"Thanks," Serenity smiled.
"But…where will we put all of your people in the palace Serenity?" Endymion asked.
I looked at Serenity, I can tell that she is thinking for a moment.
"The throne room," Serenity finally answered. "The people will be safe in there till it's safe enough to go out," In the corner of my human eye, I saw Queen Serenity just smile.
"Very well then," Queen Serenity spoke. "Our people will take shelter in the throne room," before she could finish. The ground has started to shake as the Shadow Cloud has started to get closer.
I nearly growled for a moment, but I listen more to Queen Serenity's words.
"But we must hurry," Queen Serenity spoke. "The Shadow Cloud will consume the kingdom in any moment."
"Right," every Sailor Scout and Endymion's guards nodded in return. Suddenly, the evacuation to the palace has suddenly begun.


~ Serenity's/Narrator's View ~

As the Sailor Guardians and the knights of Endymion have started to gather the people towards the palace as the Shadow Cloud moves closer and closer. Everyone has started to panic at first, suddenly but slowly, they become fearful. But the Sailor Scouts tries to keep them calm as they headed toward the palace.
Inside the palace, Princess Serenity, Queen Serenity, Prince Endymion, Atem, Seto, Luna, Artemis, and Teenaged Chris are inside the throne room as they get everything ready. As the people of Silver Millennium have started to enter the throne room. Teenaged Chris has started t chant her spell, "Within the power of the Holy Stars," she chanted. "I called to thee to summon the shield, a scale whose power will give any protection to those that are in need. I call out to the stars and shoot their arrows across the sky. As I call to thee by flame," suddenly, her body has started to become warm as she has started to glow in the color red.
Before Teenaged Chris could continue with the spell, the Sailor Scouts and the knights are now entering the throne room as the people of Silver Millennium are now too inside. As they have begun to close the door, the Shadow Miasma is floating closer. "Hurry up Chris," Mars barked. "We're running out of time here," panicking from within. The Shadow Miasma has started to get even closer.

As Teenaged Chris continues to chant, she has started to feel a vibe around her. But she ignores it as she continues to chant. "Lift these wings from these mortal bonds and let them soar to the Heavens that live within the starry sky." Teenaged Chris chanted, "Lift them high above the clouds as they soar to Heaven's vail that lives within the night. As the vail become your shield and my wings as your spear, all-mighty warrior. Protect us from this darkest hour, that lives into the night!" As Teenaged Chris's red aura grew brighter, a force field suddenly appeared and surrounded the palace. Suddenly, the Shadow Miasma has started to float over the palace as the force field is up.
As the force field is up, Teenaged Chris has stopped glowing as her human body has begun to shake up for a bit. Before she could collapse, Serenity catches her by the arm and helped her to stand on her feet again. "Thanks," Teenaged Chris muttered.
"Anytime," Serenity smiled.
"Chris," Queen Serenity spoke. Teenaged Chris looked at her in a worried voice, "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm alright." Teenaged Chris nodded as she began to stand up again.
"So…what now?" Atem asked.
"For now...we wait," Teenaged Chris answered. "We will wait until it is safe to go out to check on things before the real problem comes." Everyone remains silent and Queen Serenity looks at her with confidence.
"Alright," Queen Serenity sighed. "We will wait until everything has stopped."
Everyone nodded in return as they began to wait for the Shadow Miasma to stop.

~~~ Outer Solar System ~ Planet Saturn ~~~

On planet Saturn, everything is covered in crystals and ruins. Everything is quiet as the people of Planet Saturn remain asleep for the rest of their own winter. But one has started to waken as their technology has become fully alerted.

In the Palace Ruins, one of the crystals has started to glow and a pre-teenaged girl has appeared from the crystal. Her skin is light as snow, her eyes are deep, dark violet that could shine against her eyelashes, and her short black hair shimmers as Twilight itself. She wears purple (choker, collar, elbow fittings of gloves, skirt, and boots), and her accent colors were white (tiara gem, earrings, front middle of choker, and center of front bow) and maroon (front and back bows). Her choker had a white six-pointed star, her collar had no stripes, her shoulder pads resembled flower petals, and the center of her front bow was a white crystal, similar in appearance to Pure Heart Crystals or half a Moravian star. Her gloves were elbow length with elbow fittings unique among the Senshi. Her boots were knee-high and laced up in the front. Her earrings were the most unique of all Senshi, being white pearls adorned with a ring to look like her guardian planet, with white dagger pendants hanging from them. The girl is known as an emissary from the abyss of death. She is protected by Saturn, the Planet of Ruin. She is the Guardian of Silence; Sailor Saturn has now fully awakened without a Summoning of Awakening. She twirled her staff in a grumpy position, "Who dares to awaken me without the Summoning of Awakening?" she growled, a sudden beeping sound has sounded from the Ruin's Computer. Saturn walks towards her ruined computer and types for a bit. Suddenly, the ruined computer screen has shown her an image of the moon with a black, shadowy cloud that is covering the whole thing up. Saturn jumped, "Wh-what the…?" she stepped away from the ruined computer for a moment, "What…what is this?"
"I thought that you could answer that question for us," a voice spoke to her from behind. Saturn turned around. Right behind her, she saw three women that are stand-in in confusion as well. One has short, pale blonde hair, light tan skin, and grayish-blue eyes. She wears a fuku consisting of a navy-blue choker, collar, tiara gem, wrist fittings of gloves, skirt, back bow, and boots. Her earrings are a golden hoop on each ear. The front bow of her fuku is yellow. Her gloves are wrist-length. Her collar does not have any stripes. She wears loose navy-blue boots. She is protected by Uranus, the planet of the Wind, and she is the Guardian of the Heavens. She is known as Sailor Uranus, standing in her firm guard and ready to fight. Right next to her is another woman who has wavy teal hair that falls just past her shoulders, normal skin, and deep blue eyes. She wears a fuku consisting of a sea-green choker, collar, tiara gem, wrist fittings of gloves, skirt, and heels. Her earrings are white studs and have some kind of planetary object surrounded by a ring dangling from them. The bows of her fuku are navy blue. Her gloves are wrist-length. Her collar does not have any stripes. Her heels have crisis-crossing straps up the ankles, like ballet slippers. Her choker has a sea-green gem with golden accents attached to it. She is protected by Neptune, the Planet of the Ocean, and she is the Guardian of the Deep Sea. She is known as Sailor Neptune, ready to show her passion and melody of the sea to bring calm and warmth to the atmosphere. Right next to her is another woman who has knee-length dark green hair, a part of her hair tied into a single bun African-American skin, and red-umber eyes. She wears a fuku consisting of a black choker, collar, elbow fittings of gloves, skirt, and boots. Her tiara gem, earrings, and the gem attached to the choker are garnet-colored. The bows of her fuku are maroon. Her earrings are big and shaped like thick downward-pointed arrows. Her collar does not have any stripes. She does not have any shoulder pads. She wears black knee-high boots. She is protected by Pluto, the planet of the Underworld. She is the Guardian of Revolution, she is known as Sailor Pluto, a guardian who understands Time and Space like everyone else. Who is willing to stand for answers and ready to fight.
As Saturn looks at the women, they stare at her in return. "What do you mean by that…Uranus?" Saturn asked.
"The darkness that has appeared on the moon," Neptune spoke. "That is, you're doing, isn't it?"
"No," Saturn replied. "It is not. I've just woken up if I have been there. I would be wide awake but cranky without a summoning, which I am thought."
"She does have a point," Pluto nodded.
"If that wasn't you, do you know who's doing it?" Uranus asked.
"Well, give me some clues first." Saturn spoke, "So I could help you all to solve this mystery."
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto grunted.
"Absolutely not," Uranus protested.
"If you don't give me any clues," Saturn stands firm. "I won't help you…to save our Silver Millennium." The three women look at one another.
Nodded to an agreement.
"Alright, we will give you the clues," Uranus grumbled.
"If we keep our word," Pluto spoke. "You must keep your word in return."
"And that condition is…?" Saturn asked.
"You will promise to hold off your destruction till the rightful time has come," Pluto answered.
"Would you manage to keep that word as long as we keep ours?" Neptune asked.
"Yes, I will keep my word." Saturn nodded.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto sighed in relief.
"Alright," Uranus spoke. "Now, here are the clues."
"The first clue was about a strange aura that has appeared in Silver Millennium," Pluto began.
"Strange Aura?" Saturn echoed.
Pluto nodded to confirm.
"Then a strange purple glow has entered into the palace," Neptune added as she held her hand mirror. Showing her the image of glowing purple on the surface.
"Purple," Saturn jumped with her eyes widened that is filled with horror. "Is it blazing as if it was on fire?"
"Huh?" Neptune raised an eyebrow.
"What?" Uranus followed.
"Is it or is it not?" Saturn asked with her voice that is full of fear.
"Well… it's kind of like that," Pluto spoke. "Then after that…the same strange aura has appeared with a glow that actually looks like actual fire."
Strange aura, purple glow flames, and a flaming glow. Saturn began to think. This could only mean one thing, she held her staff tightly.
"So…do you know what it is then?" Uranus asked.
"I do," Saturn answered. "But you must be open-minded about my answer."
Confusingly, the three women look at each other and back to Saturn.
"Alright, we are now." Pluto nodded.
"Then tell us," Neptune spoke. "What is it? And what is happening to our beloved Silver Millennium?"
Saturn stays calm as she looks at them, "Have you all ever heard of the legend of the Crimson Dragon?"
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto stay silent as they look at Saturn curiously and concerned.
