Eudial is running away in defeat at the hands of Sailor Moon.
Eudial:
Curse you Sailor Moon. I swear; I'll get you for this!
She gets in her car and drives away leaving streaks on the road. as she is driving a call comes in on her communicator.
Mimete:
Hi Eudial, thought I'd call to let you know you've just been fired.
Eudial:
Mimete!?
She suddenly looses focus hitting guard rails as she speeds down the road.
Mimete:
We've been patient with all your failures up to this point, but we've reached our limit. It's become unbearable.
Eudial:
What!? How dare you!?
Mimete:
We're ashamed to even admit that you where ever a member of our Witches 5 coven; so do us all a favor and die ok.
Eudial:
Did you say die? That's absurd, the battle is only just beginning!
As she is driving he's about to hit another guard rail, she reaches her foot to the break pedal but now it's if it's not there.
Eudial:
What's wrong with these brakes?
She looks down at the floor board.
Eudial:
What!
She sees snails in the floor and the brake pedal is gone as if it has been dissolved. There is also a note right above where the brake petal should be.
Eudial:
"Death to snail woman in the station wagon"? Mimete!
She tries to steer away but she's too late. She collides with the guard rail and falls into the sea.
Mimete:
Thanks for all your hard work!
As she is sinking she she is trying open the car door.
Mimete:
One last thing; both of your doors are sealed shut. Your not getting out. Enjoy your sea water bath.
Eudial:
Mimete, I swear if it's the last thing I do you'll pay for this.
Someone suddenly appears in her passenger seat, she grabs her and transports her to the shore.
Eudial:
Looks like I have a guardian angel. Time to die Mimete.
Woman:
You best not go back.
She looks behind her and sees the woman who rescued her.
Woman:
She could have done worse. Your lucky she didn't plant a Damon egg in the car.
She is dressed like a sailor guardian but it's one she's never seen.
Eudial:
Stand in my way and I'll make you suffer with Sailor Moon.
Woman:
You could do that but destiny has different plans for you Eudial. Cast aside your anger, your people already have.
Eudial:
Your wrong! The professor will have my side.
Woman:
They are your enemies now, but I am not. There is another people on a world far from here, you have options. Go back and face certain death, let the people of this world put you on trial, or you can start anew. Which will you choose?
She stops to think.
Eudial:
Oh damn it! Just who are you?
Woman:
I am Sailor Vega. Also known as Beganus, the Queen of Vega.
She feels compelled to kneel down upon hearing this news.
Eudial:
Oh tell me wise Queen, what is your command?
Sailor Vega:
Do what your heart truly tells you.
Eudial:
How do I get to this world?
She walks up to her and places her hands on her shoulders. She finds herself instantly in front of a village.
Eudial:
What is this?
She watches as she ShapeShifts into an old man.
Sailor Vega:
You must excuse me, it's best the one I am presenting you too has no knowledge of my involvement.
They both walk in and they walk up to Neo and Endymion.
Sailor Vega:
Greetings Lead Crow Neo.
Neo:
Grand duke, who is this?
Sailor Vega:
A national born leader. Her name is Eudial, she comes highly recommended by the king.
Eudial:
The king?
Sailor Vega:
Yes, and a great honor.
Neo:
Her clothes look strange.
Sailor Vega:
She is not native to this world, but she is strong. Trust in that. I leave you now.
She walks away, gets on a horse and rides off.
Neo:
Do you know how to help us?
Eudial:
Just tell me what needs to be done.
Over the course of a year, she turns the town around from a failing settlement to a thriving community. She starts ordering larger amounts of food and water for the people, starts doing matchmaking for people so that children can come into being, digs deeper wells to find sources of water. Starts using better cleaning methods to make water drinkable. With all her hard work, people from neighboring villages began to settle there and Eudial was named the Lead Crow of the village. This allowed Neo to devote his full time to teach his Endymion and a young apprentice the art of forging. one day Eudial receives from Sailor Vega once again.
Sailor Vega:
Greetings Lead Crow.
Eudial:
What are you doing here?
Sailor Vega:
Since last we spoke, Mimete has died and the rest of the Witches 5, you are the last of their coven. Dr. Tomoe is not well and slowly dying.
Eudial:
Serves him right.
Sailor Vega:
Don't speak like that. Show him the same compassion you have shown these people.
Eudial:
Very well. I should admit, I thought I was being set up for failure but Neo let me do so much more then the professor ever did.
Sailor Vega:
I am also informing you that the Shadow Galatica has fallen. I had to go into a black hole to retrieve this.
She shows her a damaged guardians transformation wand.
Sailor Vega:
The crystal is still intact, and as I got closer to you it started to glow. Touch it.
She is hesitant to touch it but does so anyway, the crystal stops glowing.
Eudial:
What just happened?
Sailor Vega:
I knew it.
Eudial:
What is this?
Sailor Vega:
As I suspected, you are the new Sailor Lead Crow.
She notices the wand in her possession has started to glow.
Sailor Vega:
How is this possible?
Eudial:
What is it now?
Sailor Vega:
This wand belongs to Sailor Iron Mouse, but this can't be right.
She begins to sense who it now belongs too. There is a knock on the door.
Sailor Vega:
I leave this with you.
Eudial:
What!? Why!?
Sailor Vega:
No one else must know of my involvement.
She disappears.
Eudial:
Please, oh wise Queen. Don't leave me with this burden.
Mud:
Sorry. I fell asleep ma'am. I'll answer the door.
He opens the door.
Mud:
How may I help you?
Tazalinus:
I want too see the matchmaker.
Mud:
Mistress Eudial, a young lady looking for a husband.
Eudial:
Send her in.
She hides both transformation wands.
Mud:
Here you are ma'am.
She sees the glow from the other wand getting brighter.
Tazalinus:
I'm Tazalinus.
Eudial:
A pleasure. I must warn you if you are looking for anything specific, tall and short, slender or fat, there aren't many.
Tazalinus:
Just give me the first man who finds me beautiful. I can take from there.
Eudial:
That's not guaranteed.
Tazalinus:
What is that light coming from the floor?
Eudial:
Just some old remnant dating back to the homes more irreparable times.
Tazalinus:
Your young, those light where red. That one's not red.
She goes down to the floor and finds the wand. She picks it up and it stops glowing.
Tazalinus:
Guess I should have left it alone.
Eudial:
Do you have any idea of what you've just done?
Tazalinus:
I'm guessing it's not a sex device.
At the present moment Eudial is onboard Naoko's ship.
Endymion:
Eudial.
Eudial:
What?
Endymion:
You're supposed to be looking at the main computer.
Naoko:
Why are you dilly dallying? You said you can fix it.
Eudial:
Just a bit overwhelmed right now. Just need to collect myself.
Naoko:
Take your time then, here have some water.
She gives her a bottle of water.
Eudial:
Thanks. Seeing you just show up here has reminded me of how I got here.
Endymion:
Ready to talk about your past?
Eudial:
Some things are best left in the past.
Endymion: (thinking to himself)
She transformed into a Sailor Guardian. Right in front of me.
Naoko:
Hey. You still haven't fixed the bloody thrusters.
Endymion:
I'll get right on it.
Eudial finally goes into the main center computer control room. The hardware begins to look familiar to her.
Eudial:
This looks like some of the equipment from the Witches 5 main lab. Where would she have gotten her hands on all this? Guess that means repair is gonna be a cake walk.
She gets to work right away and soon she has the central computer back in full working order.
Naoko:
Wow! Jolly good work Eudial. There is a network link to your left, can you turn off the bloody thing I don't need it.
She turns around and disables it.
Eudial:
Something like that should be vital to main operations, why do you want it disabled?
Naoko:
There's some dodgy lot that likes to use it to spy on me. That computer and it's operating system are unique to this class of ship. All others like it heavily rely on it. I've managed to use alternatives. Keeps me safe.
Eudial:
You should re-activate it so you don't crash again.
Naoko:
That's not why I crashed. This is why.
She shows her a tiny stone.
Naoko:
Andromeda told me it's a galaxium crystal or sailor crystal. Found it while visiting the remains of what's said to be the silver millennium moon kingdom.
Eudial:
You've been to Earth?
Naoko:
Yeah but I didn't land on it. I only visited it's moon. Also saw the remains of landing gear from a primitive pod craft also and repaired a land vehicle that was left behind.
Eudial:
What else was there?
Naoko:
A banner that was knocked down and a metal plate with a message on it. "Here men from planet Earth first set foot upon the moon. July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind." And it was signed by four individual beings. Three travelers and I believe the 4th was their ruler.
Eudial:
Sounds like one of the Apollo landing sites. I have to ask where did the hardware and software for this system come from.
Naoko:
Well I asked the original pilot of this ship and you know what he said? "Never ask that question again!"
That makes Eudial suspicious about her intentions and not entirely certain if she has come with good intentions.
Eudial: (thinking to herself)
She could be a threat to this world. Good thing I know a weakness just incase.
Back in town at the tavern, Blaze and Tazalinus along with Riot and Rex where sitting down at the great one's table enjoying some of the meat from the cattle they just drove to the town.
Rex:
497,204 was the final tally. We are still powerful guardians.
Blaze:
Indeed, we haven't been awake for a month and we've had to endure three powerful adversaries.
Riot:
You know, this beef and this drink really pair well together.
Tazalinus:
So what's next?
Blaze:
Gather signatures for our petition to the king to charter a ship to Vega.
Tazalinus:
Do you have any idea where the royal palace is?
Blaze:
I know how far it is. Just put this meat in some salt and have some dried out and we are ready to go.
Rex:
I can start that, the rest of you should gather the signatures.
Riot:
Good thinking.
Andromeda:
I'm not gonna get involved. Finding his brother is a lost cause.
They begin the process to begin to gather the signatures of all the citizens in town. They split up and begin to gather as many as they can, during this time Eudial and Endymion are on their way back to town and they have Naoko with them.
Eudial:
This is the town where I live.
Naoko:
Not like anything I've seen but settlements look different from one word to the next. I don't suspect you have tea, do you?
Endymion:
They serve tea at the tavern.
Naoko:
Lead the way, haven't had good cuppa since I started my journey.
They notice Rex talking to some women, they start signing some papers.
Rex:
Thank you ladies.
He turns around.
Rex:
Eudial, Endymion. I guess you two are next.
Naoko:
What did those women just sign?
Rex:
Our petition. We need the king to charter a ship to Vega to find our 4th and missing Tuxedo Metallics.
Naoko:
Well good luck, come join us for tea when you're finished.
Rex:
Thanks.
We looks at the number of signatures he's collected and it's a lot.
Rex:
Still a ways to go.
Riot:
Hey sir!
Jumper:
Let an old man rest.
Riot:
Need to charter a ship, will you sign my petition.
Jumper:
Bring it here.
He hands it to the old man and he signs it.
Jumper:
Your friends where here weeks ago. In your travels if you happen to across a guardian bounty hunter's ship. They keep a registry of all known guardians and last known locations and their market prices. They have connections on almost every world, even the most primitive civilizations will do business with them.
Riot:
All the more reason for a bonfire. That would just pale in comparison to a successful cattle drive.
Jumper:
Indeed, just be careful out there master guardian.
He moves on get more signatures. Blaze just collected the signature of the town messaged and postman.
Juan:
I will say good luck. Would like to write up some post? I can have them sent out to neighboring villages.
Blaze:
I'll pass on the offer, I don't enough money to pay for all that and this village has first rights to the herd.
Juan:
Well good luck with your petition.
Blaze:
Thank you.
They meet up at the tavern.
Blaze:
I got 1,082
Riot:
2,003
Rex:
1,992
Tazalinus:
43.
Blaze:
You said you could get more.
Tazalinus:
Even married men run away from me, all of my signatures are from women.
Rex:
That leaves us with 5,120 in total.
Endymion:
Hand me your paper Tazalinus.
She gives him the paper, he signs the petition.
Endymion:
I know you better and the purpose of this petition.
Naoko:
Everyone, you're tea is getting cold.
Riot:
That's alright. I want Ale. Ale please!
Andromeda:
Is this the company you plan to keep?
Naoko:
Their a nice lot. You on the other hand, you're just rubbish.
Andromeda:
I am not rubbish. I once served the noble families of the silver millennium. I watched as it was destroyed and I saw as it's people began to live again. Just like those three. Is he rubbish because he doesn't have the same tastes as you?
She looks at him, she also sees how he is treating Erema.
Naoko:
No, he's clearly an amazing man. She believes in him. Riot, I want some Ale too.
Riot:
Better make that two pints of Ale.
Naoko:
You do have your moments.
Andromeda:
I have plenty more.
Naoko:
My ship is in good shape to safety take you to the royal palace to meet the king. If he finds it hard to accept your petition I can tell him I'll accept the charter.
Blaze:
You would do that for us?
Naoko:
Absolutely. I'm sure your brother misses you and wants to see you real badly.
Eudial:
Can't argue with that. I'd love to go with you but I have a duty to the town. As much as I'd love to see Vega I can't just leave.
Tazalinus:
Could Mud run everything?
Eudial:
He's a butler, not exactly Lead Crow material.
The pints arrive.
Riot:
Thank you.
Naoko:
Jolly good.
Erema:
How long will take to get to Vega?
Naoko:
My ship can get us there in 6 months, 7 if we have to stop and refuel and reprovision the ship.
Blaze:
However long we must travel, we'll be ready.
A hooded figure approaches them.
Figure:
How many signatures for your petition?
Blaze:
5,121
Figure:
That will not be enough. The king will not be moved even if the entire village signs it. May I sit with you?
Blaze:
If you know a way, then yes.
They get a chair and he sits down.
Andromeda:
Wait a moment. This fool who hides himself from believes he knows better?
Figure:
I don't just believe, I know.
Andromeda:
And how could you believe such nonsense?
Figure:
Andromeda, has it been so long that you no longer recognize my voice?
He lifts up hood. He is old and grey and has a semi well kept short beard. Andromeda immediately recognize him.
Andromeda:
King Seth! Great One!
Everyone else is confused.
Riot:
Just who exactly are you old timer? You smell like you've been living in a cave.
Seth:
Because I have been, but just like you I too have just awakened from a long slumber. I am King Seth of Vega.
Blaze:
Then that means you're...
Seth:
Yes, the Great Sailor.
Riot:
Hey bar keep! Bring the best drink. On my tab!
Seth:
I shall decline bar keep. That is not why I am here. But I will have a meal, what you've served them will be fine.
Everyone at the table was speechless to be in his presence.
Naoko:
King of Vega? That's quite a whopper.
Seth:
I am many things to many people across this galaxy. A ray of hope, a symbol to aspire too, an idea, a living legend, the first Sailor Guardian, but in the end I am just a man.
Naoko:
Not as great as they thought right?
Seth:
I've only had my Star Seed returned for 2 months. But just like me, all guardians are just men and women at their core. Speak my children.
Rex:
Well, why come to us?
Seth:
I come for Karasuma's sake. She was the light of this world, and now Eudial holds that distinction.
Eudial:
Have you spoken with your daughter?
Seth:
Yes, Beganus is well these days. She successfully defended Vega from the Shadow Galactica but at the price of many guardians defeat but they are slowly awakening again.
Blaze:
You say our signatures are not enough, what is you're intention?
Seth:
To help secure your charter my son.
His plate arrives.
Seth:
I will eat first and we will go to the Lead Crow's home to discuss this further.
Tazalinus:
He looks very beautiful for an old man.
Eudial:
He's seems to be everything the legends say of him. I first heard of him when I was in the Death Busters, never thought I'd see him up close.
Rex:
And he's coming to your house. That is a great honor.
Later that day they assemble in Eudial's home.
Blaze:
When you saw your daughter, I'm sure you told her you where coming here. Is Metallics still on Vega?
Seth:
She is not certain of where he went. She saw him board a ship but the next day people said he was still there walking among them hiding in plain site. My former home has many places where one can hide.
Riot:
Guess there's no point.
Seth:
There is my son. My daughter has it in her mind that Coronis must be restored. Her reasoning is sound enough for me. Enough to rescue you from the sea.
Tazalinus:
We all know she not from here but Coronis has no sea. It might have long ago but not anymore.
Rex:
There is another thing, who defeated Galaxia?
Seth:
Is that important to you?
Rex:
Whoever this warrior is we owe our lives to him or her. We wish to give proper thanks if our paths ever cross.
Seth:
Very well. Her name is Usagi Tsukino, but she also has other names. Princess Serenity, and Sailor Moon.
Riot:
I need to know how to spell that so I can put on the banner every year we celebrate our awakening.
Seth:
Soon, but if you cross paths you should know she's very young and inexperienced in many thing, yet she persisted and prevailed. She also has her faults and they are many or so I've heard.
Eudial:
It does make sense, as a Death Buster I was defeated by Sailor Moon on many occasions. She always acted like a scared child at times but looking back, it might be her greatest strength.
Seth:
Maybe but I can't say. I have yet to meet her myself, and I have no plans to at the moment. She's strong enough without my council.
Tazalinus:
Well, as powerful as she is I bet men refuse to even live near her.
Seth:
Silence is a tradition on her world unlike here. Even so, they would have no reason to be afraid of her.
Tazalinus:
Please Great One, I must know. Is there something wrong with me why men just cower before me. It's been that way ever since I became a guardian.
He gets up and walks up to her. He then places his hand on her forehead. He can read her thoughts and see her memories. He sees enough to give her an answer.
Seth:
I see. You demand too much of them, and you are known to force yourself upon them. That is why they fear you.
Tazalinus:
What can I do?
Seth:
Let's start with Blaze. Stand my son.
He stands up.
Seth:
Do you love her?
Blaze:
I know she's in love with me but I'm not certain myself.
He walks up to him and places his hand on his forehead, also reading his mind.
Seth:
There is some feelings for her, and you have already made love on occasions, but there is something different that always bothers you.
Blaze:
That's right. It's no secret I've done the deed with many women. Some who took interest in me and a few prostitutes, but she treats me as if I'm a virgin with no experience at all.
Tazalinus:
I just try to be wild and fulfill any expectation he has of me.
Blaze:
Next time, you should just relax. You don't have to do too much.
Erema:
Me and Riot are strong enough that we don't need to do all that. We can wait.
Riot:
Metallics would love to witness my wedding, once word gets to him he might come to us.
Tazalinus:
Well! Blaze; I don't know how to do what it is you're asking. Is the thought of finding your brother so consuming that you can't stay focused on me? Can you even handle me?
Seth walks to Tazalinus.
Seth:
Allow me.
He places his hand on her forehead and reads her mind.
Seth:
You are demanding too much of him, and you did so with the others. That is why they all ran.
She now knows that being a Sailor Guardian or having any sort of power dynamic was not the reason other potential husbands ran away, it was because she was too physically demanding.
Tazalinus:
Now it's beginning to make sense.
Rex:
That seemed obvious to me from the beginning, and now it's confirmed.
Seth:
There is something else that must be known. My daughter has been helping Eudial since she arrived, the king and the Lead Crows of other villages. The planet is of great interest now that more then one guardian stands on it's surface.
Eudial:
Yes, she brought me the wand that made me Sailor Lead Crow and made Tazalinus Sailor Iron Mouse.
Naoko:
Never a duel moment here it seems.
Seth:
I'm sense one of you is hiding something.
He sticks out his finger and starts moving around the room. He keeps going until he stops at Naoko.
Seth:
Show it to us.
Naoko:
That's a bit personal. I'm not that kind of lady.
Seth:
The stone you found on Endymion's Moon.
Andromeda:
Better do it Naoko.
She takes the stone out and places it on the table.
Blaze:
That can't be.
Riot:
It might.
Rex:
It's a sailor crystal. A common one just like ours. Why do you have it?
Naoko:
In my travels I found myself looking though the remains of the silver millennium moon kingdom. I met Andromeda there and I found this stone. Nothing but bloody trouble for me.
Seth:
Because it wants to bond with you. There was a silver crystal which is how the silver millennium got it's name but also a more common crystal like the ones most guardians have. That has to be the stone of Sailor Crescent Rabbit.
Rex:
What can you say about Crescent Rabbit?
Seth:
I've heard tales of the medicine maker. He was a rabbit who once lived on Endymion, well regarded for making elixirs that granted long life to those who took them. When one was given to the then tribal moon queen he was punished and went into exile. This moon queen took the rabbit to live with her and he continued to make medicine, and one day that crystal chose an owner and by the surprise of all it chose the rabbit. He was known as Sailor Crescent Rabbit from that moment forth. He began making medicines for guardians to use for all sorts of things until one day he renounced the crystal, he slowly began to die but kept making medicine till his drying breath. Queen Serenity found his lair one day and built a staircase for easy entry, the medicine left in the cave was meant for the guardians assigned to watch over the princess.
Endymion:
That just sounds incredible.
Seth:
Yes, a real surprise. That stone has gone the longest without a new host until you Naoko. The spirit of that rabbit must live within you.
Naoko:
There is nothing about that says "hello, I'm a little rabbit I'm cute and cuddly." But yes I am a medicine maker myself. I thought such a trade would allow me to see the universe.
Seth:
And you will see it. You will need use of that stone if ever the moment arises.
Endymion:
Leave that to me.
Naoko:
Wait a tic. What can you do?
Endymion:
I forged the devices both Eudial and Tazalinus have. I can forge a device for you, you won't be able to successfully transform without one.
Seth:
Did you try transforming before?
Naoko:
Not really. I was holding the stone the moment my ship was brought down.
Seth:
Transformation without a device is dangerous. You'll either change form or destroy whatever or whoever is around you.
Endymion:
I still have some left over Eroanyte, if I melted down two older devices from Lead Crow and Iron Mouse that should be enough. I'll get started right away.
Seth:
Leave the stone with Endymion. We will use your ship, it's best we travel slowly to see the king. If I endorse your petition he will listen to your case.
They all go to her ship and start flying towards the royal city.
Naoko:
Make yourselfs at home. It will be an hour or two before we arrive.
Blaze:
You sure he will listen?
Seth:
The king of your world is a logical, but just like any sovereign he does over indulge at times.
Riot:
You think I'd have a place in the royal court someday?
Seth:
Maybe, but I wouldn't give my hopes up.
Rex:
You said your daughter is helping Eudial, the king, and other Lead Crows. Can't she come here herself and tell us where Metallics is?
Seth:
It's not that simple. He is not on Vega at the moment, but going there will bring you closer to him. While we are alone, there is something I must inform the three of you and you alone.
Blaze:
What would that be?
At that moment, Tazalinus was thinking back to the moment she got her transformation wand.
Eudial:
That is clearly not what you thought it might have been. It's a sailor guardians transformation device.
Tazalinus:
Why would you have this?
Eudial:
I can't tell you, but from what I understand it has chosen you.
Tazalinus:
Me, a sailor guardian? That's not gonna happen. Now look for me a husband, I want to be married within the next two weeks.
Eudial:
That shouldn't be a problem, but you best hide that thing. It may be for the best no one knows you have it.
Tazalinus:
I don't keep secrets of myself. I'm an open book, ask any man in this village.
Eudial:
I don't have too, well I hope I don't have to look outside the village in your case. Let me see what clients want from a wife.
She looks over her list of male clients, and sits her down.
Eudial:
Now first, can you cook?
Tazalinus:
Yes, I cook my own meals. I save my money and I rarely go to the tavern.
Eudial:
Next, can you mend fabrics?
Tazalinus:
What citizen of this village doesn't? If you don't know this, you're better off naked.
Eudial:
Ok that last statement is a red flag but let's continue. Can you grow crops?
Tazalinus:
I'm not much of a gardener. I do get jealous of women who can grow such beautiful flowers.
Eudial:
Ideal wedding gift?
Tazalinus:
Nothing special, just a man in my bed ready for me and without ceasing one moment.
Eudial:
Based on what you've said, I can over half of the listing. Go to this house and meet a man named Yule. You may find him best suited.
She gives her a letter and directions to the house.
Tazalinus:
Thank you Lead Crow.
She walks out of the house.
Eudial:
Yes, Lead Crow. In more ways then one I'm afraid.
Mud:
I can have that accursed thing buried deep in a dried well by dinner time if you wish.
Eudial:
It shouldn't come to that. Like they say on my former home, better safe then sorry.
Tazalinus arrives at the house Eudial directed her too and knocks on the door, an old woman answers.
Tazalinus:
Is Yule here?
Old woman:
Let me wake him up for you.
She goes to his bed and slaps him.
Old woman:
Time to wake up.
Yule:
Another hour.
Old woman:
Your new wife is here. Now get up!
Yule:
New wife?!
Old woman:
Stand up, look your best. Now go.
She pushes him out the door.
Yule:
I'm sorry about all this. It was all my mothers idea I get married.
Tazalinus:
That's ok. Mother knows best right? Ha ha!
He's not laughing.
Tazalinus:
I said enough. I'm Tazalinus, and here is my letter if you wish to read it.
Yule:
It's fine. I won't trouble you for long.
She takes him to her house where she cooks him a nice dinner.
Tazalinus:
How is my cooking?
Yule:
Just as good as mothers.
Tazalinus:
Wait until you see the bedroom. We will have a nice wedding and you and me can share the rest of our lives together.
Yule:
I'm in no hurry to be married, shouldn't I know more about you before we embark?
Tazalinus:
You can. I'm 5'5" I'm born on the 6th day of the 6th month. I'm 22 years of age, I have family in other villages, I can cook, clean, mend, I hope you're good at crops because I'm week in that area. Also, before I met you I found this.
She shows him the wand.
Yule:
What is that?
Tazalinus:
I'm a Sailor Guardian now, or atleast that's what I was told.
Yule:
That is a serious claim. There hasn't been sailor guardians here for 200 years. That was also when our world became what it is.
Tazalinus:
I hope I don't displease you.
Yule:
If I am displeased, it's because I didn't get to sleep as much as I wanted.
Tazalinus:
You can sleep after we've consummated the marriage.
Yule:
That won't take too long will it?
Tazalinus:
Depends if you can keep up with me.
Yule:
All this is really making me nervous. Can I have some water?
She goes to get him water but she doesn't have any.
Tazalinus:
I'm sorry, I'm fresh out of water. I'll go fetch some. Can you wait?
Yule:
If you have no water, you wouldn't mind if I slept a bit do you?
Tazalinus:
Fine, but be ready. I wish to be at the court house at married before the night is over.
She sends him to her bed to lay down, she then goes out to get the water but noticed the line is longer then normal.
Tazalinus:
How much clean water does this town need?
A man with full bucket of water is leaving, she stops him.
Tazalinus:
Is there something I don't know about?
Man:
Let me go young lady. My wife and children need this water now.
She lets him go, a woman comes behind him with buckets of water.
Tazalinus:
Please, why is the line so long?
Woman:
I couldn't tell you. All I know is that I needed water because I had none.
A young boy comes behind her.
Boy:
Mom let's go home.
Tazalinus:
Do you know what's happened young one?
Boy:
Our buckets and jars where filled with water last night but suddenly they are empty.
The boy and his mother head home.
Tazalinus:
Not everyone needs water at one moment. This has to be work of thieves.
She goes around the village looking for someone walking out of houses with water but after an hour sees nothing.
Tazalinus:
What devilish work is this? And the line for water is still long.
A man comes rushing behind her with a jar.
Man:
Excuse me.
Tazalinus:
I'm so sorry. Wait a minute, the line is north. You're coming from the south with a full jar of water. Our cleanest water is on the northern side. Where did you get this?
Man:
I need this water, the entire town suddenly needs more water then it intended to have.
She lets him go but she follows him. She eventually comes to a house where he walks in. He quickly leaves the house with the same jar in hand. She jumps and stops him again to find his far empty.
Tazalinus:
Sorry.
She runs away to make sure he can't recognize her. She follows him to house, he walks in the door, she sees him come out and can tell by how he holding the jar that it's full. She follows him again and he goes back to the same house and quickly comes back outside.
Tazalinus:
He can't need that much water at once.
She jumps down and confronts him.
Tazalinus:
Can you explain why the line for water is longer then normal today?
Man:
I'm on my way to get water.
Tazalinus:
I couldn't help but notice you where heading East. Everyone knows the well is north.
He takes out a knife.
Man:
I'm not taking this from a woman.
Tazalinus:
Will you take it from a Sailor Guardian?
Man:
I must have water now stay out of my way.
Tazalinus:
You leave me no choice. Strength of iron, Make up!
The man is surprised to see her transform into a Sailor Guardian but he's not the only one to see. Others watch as she transforms and start to flood the street at the sight of her.
Man:
Madness!
Iron Mouse:
I'm Sailor Iron Mouse, now stop stealing water.
Man:
Ok I surrender.
The man is taken away by soldiers. Soldiers also go into his house and gather all the water that has been stolen. Soon she was back home and Eudial was waiting for her.
Eudial:
Heard about what you did. I prepared more jars for you.
Tazalinus:
That's not happening again.
Eudial:
I can't really do anything about this, but where I came from Sailor Guardians kept their identities secret. Anyone who knows you could be your enemy now.
Yule walks out to find her.
Yule:
Had a good rest, did you get some water?
Tazalinus:
We got enough.
Yule learns though gossip that she is a Sailor Guardian, he runs back home before she has a chance to get married to him. She meets with other men but they all run after one night with her.
Tazalinus:
Why can't I just be more relaxed and open with men?
Eudial:
You're open enough.
Tazalinus:
That's not what I meant. It's not just Blaze I want men to be welcoming like they where before.
Eudial:
You've gotten further with him then you have with the others. Just focus on Blaze before you focus on the others.
Tazalinus:
You're right, once I'm married things should return to normal.
King Seth has finished speaking with the Tuxedo Guardians.
Seth:
Remember my children, what is said may not always be what should be done.
Blaze:
We will remember.
Riot:
What do we do with this information?
Rex:
We keep it to ourselves. No need to worry the others.
Blaze:
But if anyone one of them is a traitor, then we'll just be mindful. The Great One has never been one to deceive us and I believe that will not changed.
