Jadite stood straight as he faced Queen Beryl in her throne room. "Jadite...Alma has failed, and the Sailor Senshi are here. What do you have to say about this?" she asked through gritted teeth. Jadite bowed, "I apologize for Alma's failure. We didn't expect the Senshi to make an appearance until later in the future,". Beryl looked hard at him, "Have you even found the source of the power we've been searching for? This...Shadow Power?" she asked him.
The blonde man tensed, "No, your Highness. But I will have some our best agents track this magic down as well as the Senshi!" he swore. The Evil Queen continued to glare at him, "We don't have just the Senshi to worry about. I've gotten reports that a Knight has been sighted in this city,". Jadite snapped his head up, "A Knight, your Highness? But...they were all killed when the Moon Kingdom was destroyed a millennia ago!" he protested.
"We also thought the Princess' were killed in that same incident, but we were wrong weren't we?" she snapped. Jadite cringed, "Sorry your Highness. Your orders regarding the Knight?" he asked. Beryl crossed her fingers together, "Just keep a watch out for it. When the time is right, destroy the Knight,". Jadite bowed, "Yes, your Highness," he said before disappearing in a blur.

"Joey! Get outta bed! C'mon, we're supposed to go to the movies!"
Groaning, Joey rolled out of bed and opened his bedroom window to see Yugi, Tristan, Brian, Duke and Tea looking up at him. "I'll be right down...," he called out with a yawn. He shut the window and grabbed a pair of semi clean jeans and a black shirt. As he walked to the door, he noticed his father passed out on the couch, half empty liquor bottle in his hand.
Rolling his eyes, Joey left the apartment and met up with his group. "You ok, Joey? You don't look so good," Tea askedworriedly. He shook his head, "Jus' had a rough night...kept having these weird dreams," he explained. "What kind of dreams?" Brian asked as they walked down the street. Joey hesitated by decided it wouldn't hurt to let his friends now.
"Well. I usually have da same dream, but everytime, something new happens. I'm in dis huge palace made of diamond or something, and I'm dressed all in white with a jewels and a sword. There these guys in armor and a Queen or something and my name is Jounouchi. The dream ends with a bright light and a lotta people screaming, then I wake up!"
His friends just stared at him. "Wow...that's a...that's a weird dream," Yugi murmured. Joey nodded, "Hell ya it is! I started having them a while ago and that's all I'm dreaming!" he exclaimed. "Probably just watching too much anime," Duke muttered.
As they walked away, a black cat with a crescent moon on it's head came out from behind a bush, watched them leave for a moment, then walked off in another direction.

After the movie, Joey quietly entered his apartment home and slinked towards his bedroom. "Where the hell were you tonight?" a drunk voice barked at him. Joey cursed silently and turned to face his wasted father. "I was out wit my friends. Where were you? A nudey bar?" he shot back. His father growled and slugged him hard, sending him to the floor.
"Weakling...I don't why your worthless mother had you. You nothing but a burden," he spat. Joey glared, rubbing his face, "How the fuck do you know? Half the time you're drunk off your ass and the other half you're passed out on your ass!" he yelled at him. His father threw his liquor bottle, and Joey dodged it. It hit the wall and it shattered, sending bits of glasses everywhere.
The blonde teen watched as his father took money out of a jar and stumble out of the apartment, slamming the door on the way out. "Bastard," Joey muttered, picking himself up. He grabbed the dustpan and started sweeping the shards of glass on the floor. As he dumped the shards in the trashcan, Joey heard a mewing sound. He opened the front door and looked down to see the same black cat from the school.
"Hey there, girl. What are you doing here? You follow me home?" he asked, kneeling to pet it. The cat mewed the darted into the apartment, towards Joey's room. "Hey! Get back here!" he yelped, chasing her. He entered his room to see the cat sitting in front of the window, the light of the full moon pouring into the room.
He sighed, "C'mon girl. No offense, but you gotta get out now," he said quietly. "Actually, Jounouchi, I need to stay so we can have a chat,". Joey's eyes bugged out of his skull as he stared at the cat. She had spoken to him, clear as day. He shook his head, "Ok, I need some sleep...I could've sworn you just talked,".
The cat seemed to frown, "You are not dreaming, Jounouchi. This is very real. I've been watching you for some time and it's time for us to talk,".
