Chapter 2: Revelations
"What was that about?" Rei asked leaning back agains the cushions at their temple meet.
"Those two are beyond creepy, I mean did you hear how they made us seem like we were clueless of something?" Mina added.
"And the girl one, Sedna I think, she seemed to know who I was, and possibly Sailor Neptune." Ami added.
"I wonder if we should tell Neptune and Uranus about all this then…It might be better to have them around next time they strike." Lita wondered.
"I don't like how I couldn't get rid of that seed-thing." Serena looked a little disappointed.
"I wouldn't worry about it too much Serena, you still saved everyone from the zombie- seedlings and that construction worker from being a monster." Darien piped in.
"So Luna, what exactly did you want to tell us in this meeting?" Rei asked.
"Girls, I'm afraid we might know who those two are."
"Why do you say it like that Luna?" Ami asked.
"Because, those two, although none of you may have known them well yourselves in your past life, are …well are Planetary Sailor Scouts as well." Artemis explained.
"But how? I thought Pluto was the last planet?" Mina asked.
"Actually there are various other, smaller planets in the solar system unrecognized by the Earth culture as true "planets'." Ami explained.
"Ami is right. There are many Sailor Scouts that exist in the universe. Some of them we've never met." Artemis explained. "Other planets in our vast solar system also are Sailor Scouts, but not always in the same sense that you guys are used to."
"Sedna and Varune are similar to the names of two of the smaller planets in our galaxy. Their names like your own planetary titles have been passed on." Luna explained.
"What bothers me is why they've come back and are fighting against us…"Artemis wondered.
"Are there others like them?" Lita asked.
"They're very well might be. But we can't be sure if there's something else at work here…until we gather more information…" Luna asked.
"How come they don't look like us transformed…or work with us?" Mina asked.
"Not all Sailor Scouts are soldiers vowed to protect the Silver Crystal and the Moon Kingdom. Theirs a large amount of –process that goes into that I'm afraid." Artemis looked warily to Luna. "Galaxia took advantage of that for her own recruits."
"I don't understand why they weren't re-born on Earth with everyone else either…." Darien inquired.
"Not all people of the universe were stricken by that war. If they weren't at the Moon during that time there's a good chance they could have survived. Most people were asked to support the fight, but it wasnt mandatory. You scouts were the Guardian Senshi of the Moon and the Silver Crystal. It makes sense for all of you to be reborn. We don't know much about the situation ourselves, but I think there's something they know that we don't from the past. Somethings haven't returned to us in our own rebirth. Until then, we need to make sure they don't infect the people with those Dark Seeds. Hopefully next time we can stop them from spreading…"
"It's strange to think that. But your're right, when Galaxia fought us we did meet more Scouts…" Serena recalled.
"Plus people like Allan and Ann came from a different planet too right? They weren't scouts but we don't know much about whats out there do we." Lita added.
"According to my knowledge there's at the most 10 other masses possibly recognized planets that might have their own guardian, to our own knowledge on Earth…do you think we've made 10 more enemies somehow?" Ami asked.
"Unless they reveal themselves and why their doing this, I'm afraid we'll just have to keep fighting." Luna sighed.
"It couldn't hurt to get our hands on a Seed so we can figure out what they are exactly." Artemis added. "I think it's time we talked to the other scouts too. At least two more hands on the wheel might really help us get down to the bottom of it."
"What about my powers? Is there anything else I can do …" Serena played with the end of her hair.
"I don't know. It might take a little more than your Scepter this time Serena. We're going against our own here. It might be a job for the Silver Crystal, but we'll know more when the time comes."
Serena felt Darien's hand link into hers. At least this time she had everyone she needed with her for support.
"I don't like them. They have no clue what even happened in the past. The sheltered brats." Sedna seemed much less put together. "We didn't spread the Seed as much as I'd hoped to."
"Relax." Varune put his hand on her back. "We'll get another chance. I think next time…we need to be more…discrete. If we want the seeds to spread like-"
"Like I want? I really hope this is all a mutual decision-"
"Of course it is." Varune bowed to the shadowed Woman.
" Are you going to give us another chance?" Sedna said.
"Yes. I think it's good that they know where here. But Varone is right; we must now inflict the world with these seeds of strife. Let the next Kakoi demon which emerges emerge slow. Make sure this one lasts longer, otherwise, I'm quite sure Ixion is eager to take your place in spreading the seeds."
The pair turned, and saw Ixion in the shadows. His deep gold eyes through his reddish-dark brown wavy locks that hit past his eyes. "I only hope to explore the Earth and exploit it's treasures and release it's evils. But for now, I take it the pair of you have it under control?" Ixion turned and left.
"Exploit its treasures?" Sedna raised a brow at the metaphorical duality of his words. She knew of Ixion's ways, let alone his history with the planets.
"We'll take it from here." Varone seemingly ignored Ixion speaking to the shadow.
"Then here's the next Seed. We'll leave Toil for now." They watched as from the apple which pulsated a dark energy, Toil was returned. "Now, let's see what fun we can have in spreading a bit of Amnesia throughout the world? It's bound to bring some good old fashion Chaos don't you think?"
