Amaterasu sat in front of the image of the King and Queen of Crystal Tokyo, along with their guardians.
"What do you mean you haven't heard from them?"Kunzite's image yelled at her.
Amaterasu frowned.
"I don't allow anyone to speak to me that way."she said, stiffly.
Usually, she would break contact at once, but she decided that wouldn't be the best in this case.
"Kunzite, I think that you should control yourself."said Endymion, sternly.
He was the only one to whom Kunzite would listen to. Kunzite took his seat again, stiffly.
"I told you, the activity ceased on the…that particular estate."Amaterasu told them. "The only explanation is that,"she shook her head. "Just where will we find another fetologist? With that being such a disgusting profession, and she, oh, well,"she shrugged. "I suppose she brought another up, or cloned. After all, we do need one. I don't understand just how it could have happened. I don't think she could have died. I've read of such things happening on other planets, of course, but here? People do die, but, I don't want to think about that anymore."
"But where could my daughter be?"Queen Serenity asked, obviously distressed.
"They couldn't have wondered far from the estate!"Amaterasu said. "It happened in the building, and that's practically at the center. It's impossible to wonder too far in one day to leave the estate, unless you were planning on leaving for any reason. Then you'd take a plane, or something to get to your destination, but no one would leave their estate. They should still be on that estate! But there are no signs of mental activity from the estate. If even one person, one member of the staff were conscious, we'd know! As far as the children are concerned…they're, the point is, that Small Lady and Saturn are not on the estate, and I fear, I fear the reason the fetologist…is because they, I believe they were involved."
"What? What do you mean? Small Lady's powers haven't awoken yet, and Saturn, it's not time for Saturn's powers to awaken yet, either."Mercury told her.
Amaterasu nodded.
"I learned as much from their minds, that's why I think they were involved."
"You're not making any sense."Jadeite shook his head.
"I don't understand much myself, either. I have sent someone to search through the files, to see if she uncovered anything before she…before this happened. I don't much about eugenics myself, but I know a bit, we all do. It is the key to our society. It is that that determines whether birth can be risked."
"We're not interested in your Solarian peculiarities."said Kunzite. "Where is the princess?"he asked angrily.
One of the staff walked into Amaterasu's room, out of the range of seeing of the others.
"Princess, one of the young lady's companions has arrived."the young girl told her.
"Companions?"she asked.
Diana walked in.
"Diana!"
Amaterasu rose, to greet her.
"Small Lady and Princess Saturn have disappeared!"she told Amaterasu.
"I know! But you should have some inkling as to where they are."Amaterasu demanded.
"They weren't themselves!"Diana told her.
"And who else could they be?"Amateras asked.
"I don't know. They suddenly seemed to…like they were possessed. They couldn't hear me, and they just walked in to the room, where the Solarian worked, and it was like…they had it all planned, but I don't know why."
Small Lady and Saturn woke up. They weren't at the farm any longer. Simply out in the wilderness.
"Where are we?"Small Lady asked Saturn. "Diana?"she called out.
Saturn looked around.
"I don't know, Small Lady. But where's Diana? Diana?"
"Um, wait, shouldn't we summon someone?"suggested Small Lady. "Um,"she concentrated.
"There's no one coming. How come?"asked Saturn.
"I don't know. Maybe we're not trying hard enough. Or we should just find our way back!"
They both knew that the young Solarians would probably laugh at them, if they ever found out that they couldn't do something so simple like calling on someone. The Solarians seemed to have a knack for learning telepathy, transduction, or languages. They amused themselves watching Small Lady and Saturn struggle with those subject. Although they had no particular talent for any games, or any of the fun things that Small Lady and Saturn enjoyed.
"But I don't remember how we got here!"Small Lady said, sounding worried. "And where Diana went! Just where are we, and how did we get here?"
"I don't know, Small Lady. And no one answers our summons. Could we be so far away? Or have wandered too far, and left he estate?"
"But we'd be on another estate, then, wouldn't we?"Small Lady asked.
"What are we going to do."
On the royal estate, Amaterasu stood up.
"A definite whiff of human thought has reached the neighboring estates, from the estate where Small Lady and Saturn were."she told the images of the King, Queen, and their guardians. "It's quite possible that it was them. Someone has been sent to investigate."she told them. "We should know soon."
"How soon?"asked Jupiter.
"Are they all right? It was very frightening."Diana said. "They weren't themselves."
Amaterasu shook her head.
"I'm sure that we must take immediate action!"she told the images. "It looks like it is taking over! Before she…before that happened, it looks like the fetologist did find something."she looked confused. "Psychology isn't something that's of much interest here, really, but fetologist, said it was something like, a multiple personality disorder."Amaterasu looked utterly confused.
Everyone else looked just as confused, except for Mercury, who looked horrified.
"Both?she asked.
"It looks like she thought it must have been something common among those of your star system."Amaterasu explained. "After all, they were the only non Solarians, and had nothing else in common, really, except that neither were native Solarians. And they were both from your stat system."
"And what can we do?"asked Venus.
"I suppose finding them would be a start."said Zoicite.
"And how many other personalities do they have?"Mercury asked her.
"It looks like they each have two. She was going to try to bring them out, and speak to them, but was unable due to…what happened."Amaterasu told them. "But just from observing them telepathically, she could tell that they were dark. Very dark."Amaterasu looked uncomfortable. "Is it common among your people?"she asked.
"No."Mercury told them.
"What are we going to do?"
"It must be Chaos. Dark Lady and Mistress 9."Queen Serenity said.
"But that's impossible!"Amaterasu told them.
