Destiny
Chapter 3: Test
"Huh, its still pretty much the same as before"
"Well, what did you expect? Flying cars and floating buildings, with green people walking around?"
"Well no, but I expected some kind of change" the first voice said.
"We've only been gone for fifteen years, Umi, not much happens during that time"
"Tsc, I know that, but I still hoped, who knows when people have magic things happen and according to Clef, quite more magic has appeared in Tokyo" Umi said, with a sense of indigence.
"You know that you are actually right" a short girl said with mock shock on her face.
"Of course I'm right, jeez, you know Hikaru, Fuu is not the only one with brains in this team" Umi said, with mock hurt.
"You are right Umi-san"
"And here I thought that you had finally grown out of the -san, but I guess I was wrong wasn't I? Huh Fuu?"
"It's just that this place triggers some memories, it slipped" Fuu said.
"Yeah, this place does hold many memories doesn't it?" Hikaru said, leaning over the rail. They were standing in the observatory of Tokyo Tower, the place where they met, the place that took them to Cephiro, the place were they returned, the place where they grieved. This very place had changed their life for the better and worse.
"Well, as much as I would love to stay here and talk about the past, remember that we have a mission to complete" Umi said, her tone turning serious.
"Yeah, I know, but how are we gonna find three girls, that we don't even know what they look like in Tokyo. Which must I remind you was one of the most populated cities in the whole entire world, and that is something that I'm sure hasn't changed" Umi said.
"There may be many people living in Tokyo, but I doubt that all of them have magic, so all we have to do is look for people with magic" Fuu said.
"But Clef said that now more magic was present in Tokyo, meaning there are many people with magic" Hikaru mumbled.
"Hikaru is right, what are we going to do if we get the wrong person?" Umi wondered.
"I remember that Clef said, we would known who to look for, we only had to look deep within ourselves" Fuu said.
"Okay, how about we look 'deep within ourselves' after we have something 'deep within ourselves'" Hikaru said, her stomach growling as if to emphasize her point.
Umi and Fuu laughed but nonetheless agreed, it had been tiring to train for this day so they all deserved a little break, even if it was only lunch.
OOOOOOOOOOO
"Magic Knight?"
"What the fuck is a 'Magic Knight'?"
"Who are these 'Magic Knights' you talk about?"
"Who the hell are we supposed to find them?"
Setsuna, Hotaru, and Eriol glanced at each other before sighing, the room was full of questions and random thoughts, if they didn't calm down soon arguments were sure to rise.
"If you could just be quiet, then we will be able to explain" Setsuna said.
"Will you explain it completely or are you just going to give us a vague story because 'it can alter the future'?" Serena said.
"Princess, you know that I, we, cannot interfere with the future that you have already seen" Setsuna said.
"I know, I know, its just that sometimes it's a pain in the neck not knowing what will happen" Serena pouted.
"But if you knew the-"
"The future could change and endanger us all, I know Setsuna but I can't help but hope now can't I?"
"Nothing, and no one has ever been able to cut your curiosity" Setsuna chuckled.
"Yeah, yeah we know. Now back to the subject that actually matters" Rei snapped.
Serena glared at Rei, "What are you saying that I'm not important?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying" Rei replied with a glare of her own.
"What you think you're mo-"
"Serena, Rei, we don't have time for this, remember world first, us second" Michiru said. The new acquaintances, except Inuyasha, were amused by their little show, apparently this was normal for the Senshi. Kagome thought that it was similar to the way she and Inuyasha sometimes fight.
"Please Setsuna you go first, since you seem to know the limit to their knowledge" Eriol said.
Setsuna smiled at him before turning to the others, "All of the people in this room have or have experienced magic before. You have seen things others have not, you have done things other have not done, and you have each been to places that others would not dream of. Well the Magic Knights have to been through similar things, the difference is that they were not born with magic, like most of you were, but rather they were chosen for the characteristics that marked them. Characteristics that made them able to fight and overcome many obstacles for the simple duty of protection of their beloved world."
"Wait a minute. Wouldn't we have heard if they are fighting to protect the world, then how come we have never heard of them?" Darien asked.
"I never said anything about them fighting to protect Earth, I said that they fight to protect their beloved world, but that world is not Earth" Setsuna said.
"But what other worlds are there to protect?" Kagome asked.
"Since I doubt that you know, there are many worlds in the universe, some are friendly some aren't, but they are all nonetheless worlds. We have come in contact with other worlds of the universe before, of course we haven't actually been to other worlds but rather their people come to us. But of course there are other dimensions that have other worlds. However, the Magic Knights have all been born in the Earth, and when needed they are taken to another world in another dimension, this world is called Cephiro." Setsuna continued.
"Cephiro is a world where the will of a person is power. In order to maintain the land peaceful, the was a designated Pillar that would pray for the well being of Cephiro. The Pillar had to be the person with the strongest will of all Cephiro, she can only think of the Cephiro's well being and nothing else." Eriol said.
"But why?" Sakura asked.
"Because if the Pillar thought of anything else her mind would shift and the well being of Cephiro would end up in the back of her mind forgotten, causing the downfall of the world. Normally, this is when the Knights are summoned" he continued.
"So they could do what? Imprison the Pillar?" Syaoran asked.
"So they could kill the Pillar" Hotaru said. Silence. Silence filled the room, no one knew what to say, Hotaru's answer was not what they were expecting.
"Kill her? Why would they kill her? If their duty is to protect Cephiro shouldn't they protect the Pillar too?" Lita asked.
"That is exactly why they kill her. Because once the Pillar is dead, another Pillar steps up to the position and peace is restored once again." Hotaru said.
"I don't think I follow" Kagome said.
"The Pillar's emotions were already out of control, nothing the people would do would change it. No emotions is not the right word, its feelings the Pillar would fall in love and no matter how hard they tried, they could not oppose to it, therefore were not able to forget. It would've been impossible for her to forget her feelings. Even the Pillar knew it, since it was her that summon the Knights, she was the one to call upon her killers." Eriol said.
"Did the Knights know?" Sakura asked.
"No, they were usually told that their helped was needed to save Cephiro, but it wasn't until the last moment that they knew what they were about to do" Setsuna said.
"That is horrible, it is such a cruelty" Serena said with a solemn face.
"But it was necessary, think if you were to be in their position. Either let one person live and the world to perish or kill that person and save the world?"
"I would probably kill the person," Serena mumbled.
"Okay, this is interesting and everything but what does it have to do with us?" Haruka asked.
"Such impatience" Setsuna said, the rest of the Senshi nodding their heads.
"This danger that is approaching, is not only endangering our world, but theirs as well" Eriol said.
"But why theirs?" Kagome asked.
"Their world and ours must somehow be connected" Ami said.
"Indeed, they are. You see the creator of their world also created our world" Setsuna said.
"What? But that impossible!" Mina said. Other agreeing with her.
"Impossible? Since when has anything been impossible? We are the reincarnated princesses of the Silver Millennium, we have died more than once already, we have been to the future, we have travel to outer space in just our sailor fukus, and yet you say that it is impossible?" Setsuna questioned.
"But I had thought that the power of the Silver Imperium Crystal had created the world" Serena said.
"And it did, just that the Creator was the user at the time" Eriol said.
"Okay so now that this is clear up, how are we going to find them?" Ami said.
"Do not worry about that, you guys will know who they are the moment you see them" Hotaru said absentmindedly.
"Okay if you said so" Lita shrugged.
"Hey guys want to go to Crown's? I been dying for one of their milkshakes" Serena said.
"Leave it to you to think about food at times like this" Rei said.
"C'mon Rei, I want to go too!" Mina pouted. Rei sighed, knowing she couldn't handle both Mina and Serena at the same time, both blondes clapped when she nodded in defeat.
"Hey you guys wanna come too?" Lita asked the rest.
"As much as I would love to spend time with the ondago, I can't I have a race in an hour" Haruka said.
"Me and Hotaru have classes to attend to, sorry" Michiru said.
"I have to work, my shift is about to start" Setsuna said.
"What about you guys?" Mina asked the guest.
Kagome nodded, "Sure"
"Keh, I'm leaving I don't want to stay here for too long" with that Inuyasha jumped out the window and left.
"How bout you four?" Rei asked.
"I don't know, I still have to tell Yue and Kero, and then…" Sakura trailed off.
"Don't worry about that, me and Syaoran will tell them, you and Tomoyo go and have fun" Eriol assured with a smile.
"If you say so" Sakura mumbled.
"Okay then lets go!" Mina and Serena cheered.
Rei rolled her eyes, "Bakas" she said.
"Be careful Sakura" Syaoran told her so that only she would hear, but unfortunately all the Senshi's senses were much sharper that anyone else in the world.
"Off to Crown's we go!"
OOOOOOOOOOO
"Serena! Mina! Lita! Ami! Rei! What a surprise to see you here!" Andrew exclaimed.
"Please, we come here on a daily basis" Rei snorted.
"Ah! But this time you brought new costumers" Andrew responded.
"Andrew, this is Kagome, Tomoyo and Sakura. Guys this is Andrew" Mina introduced.
"Nice to meet you" all three girls said, bowing.
"So what will you girls have?" Andrew asked.
"The usual for us" Lita said, walking over to their booth.
"How about you ladies?"
"Try the milkshakes, those are the best!" Serena said, clapping her hands.
"Then will have two chocolate milkshakes" Sakura said.
"And a vanilla milkshake" Kagome agreed.
"Got it" and with that Andrew disappeared to the kitchen.
Once all the girls were sited, the questioning, by mostly Mina and Serena, began.
"So are you two going out?" Mina asked Kagome.
"Were those guys your boyfriends?" Serena question Sakura and Tomoyo.
"You make such a good couple!"
"Is he overprotective and rude all the time?"
"He must care a lot for you!"
"When did you bonded?"
"How long have you been a couple?"
"MINA, SERENA! SHUT THE HELL UP!" Rei snapped.
All three girls sent graceful looks to Rei.
"But Reeeiii! I am the Senshi of LOVE, I have to know this things" Mina whined.
"And I am the Senshi of war, so if you want to keep living a peaceful life you'll suck it up for now!" Rei hissed. Mina fell quiet and Serena crossed her arms and tried not to argue, but was failing miserably, thankfully their orders arrive before any more arguing could be done.
"Mmmm, this shakes areamazing!" Sakura said
"We told you, we always come here after school to relax and have some shakes" Serena said.
"So, since when have you been able to use magic?" Rei asked Sakura.
"Umm, well when I was in fourth grade I found the Clow Book, which contained the cards, and by accident I opened it and let the cards free. Then the guardian of the book told me that it was now my responsibility to collect the cards or else a great disaster would fall upon the world. So each time a card was captured it recognized me as its mistress. But then I had to change the cards from Clow cards to Sakura cards so that the cards would survive, ever since then I have been training with magic"
"Wow, so young and you were already running around town fighting?" Mina mused.
"Weren't you scared to do it?" Serena asked, but before Sakura could replied Rei snorted and said, "Not everyone is called Serena"
"Hey! I resent that! Besides you would be shocked too if a talking cat came and tell you, you were to be fighting demons and stuff!" Serena huffed, remembering her first days as Sailor Moon, the Senshi of Love and Justice.
"Well, guess what? That happened and I wasn't shocked, skeptical, yes, but shocked, no" Rei replied nonchalantly.
"Well it was kinda scary at first, but when I thought of the disaster that could happen, I guess I didn't care of what happen to me if the people I love could be safe and happy" Sakura cut in before the cat fight started. She had noticed that Serena and Rei tend to fight a lot.
"That's so noble I guess I understand I understand why you were chosen, you too Kagome you were so brave to go to the past and collect the fragments of the jewel, the only one I don't get why was chosen is Serena, she's just a klutz" Rei mused.
Kagome giggled and said, "Thanks Rei, but I think Serena can be brave in battle and must care for her friends in order to be chosen"
"Yeah, otherwise Sailor Moon wouldn't be so famous for being brave and powerful if it weren't true" Tomoyo agreed.
"Huh, hear that Rei" Serena said while sticking a french frie in her mouth.
"So, how are we gonna find these knights everyone's talking about?" Mina cut in.
"I don't know, I never felt their auras so I can't locate them" Kagome murmured.
"Well maybe we can-" Mina was cut off by an explosion and screams that followed.
"Guys" Serena mumbled.
"We know" Mina and Rei said.
"You guys stay out of danger, we'll handle it" Mina told the three girls in front of her, Serena had already contacted the other Senshi and they were on the way. The three Senshi ran out the doors of the arcade and towards the site of the chaos.
"I'm not gonna sit around and do nothing" Kagome said, as a bow and arrows manifested on her hands.
"Me neither" Sakura said as she started her chant to transform her staff.
"I'm so happy I get to record Sakura-chan in battle again! Kagome and the Senshi too!" Tomoyo beamed. Sakura sweat dropped and Kagome look at her curiously. The girls then ran after the Senshi to help.
OOOOOOOOOO
"So the Senshi will be the first ones to arrive" a dark feminine figure said from the sky.
"It appears so, now we only have to see what they're capable of" a much smaller figure next to her said.
"Yes indeed"
OOOOOOOOOO
"We're almost there, we have to transform" Mina whispered.
Rei and Serena both nodded and headed to a dark alley so that they would not be seen.
"Silver Moon Crystal Power, Make Up!"
"Venus Crystal Power, Make Up!"
"Mars Crystal Power, Make Up!"
Sailor Moon, Venus and Mars jumped from roof to roof to their destination. Once there they found Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter already there, ready to fight.
"Three more Senshi have arrived, how wonderful" a female voice spoke.
"I'm not gonna ask you again, who the fuck are you?" Uranus hissed.
"Now, now, you have to learn to be patient, it might kill you one day, my dear Senshi"
"What do you want from us?" Moon asked.
"Well, my dear princess, you will know my intentions once all of you are here"
In that moment Mercury, Saturn, and Pluto arrived.
"Well my dear Senshi, as you should've guessed I came here to kill you,"
"The hell if you think we gonna let you" Jupiter hissed
"Of course, what fun will it be if you just go down without a fight"
"Girls, get ready, cause its coming" Mercury murmured.
"Now girls, just like we practiced. Basic" Serena ordered. Just like that all the Senshi, except Moon, disappeared from sight.
"What? Your friends left you to fight alone? How sad, little moon princess is all defenseless"
"Whoever said anything about that?" Moon questioned, "Besides, I am capable of killing you in less than a minute without getting a scratch on me" she taunted.
"Why you little…!"
Sakura and Kagome were watching from afar as the Senshi continued to taunt the enemy.
"We should go help her" Sakura mumbled.
"Hai"
"Don't go" a voice said.
"Who's there?" Kagome asked.
"Just watch" a small black cat with a crescent moon bald spot said.
"You must be-"
"Sakura! Sakura!" a small yellow animal flew out of Sakura's bag said, "Magic! A lot of Ma…gic…" the animal just noticed the people who were with his mistress and were all staring at him, "Hehehe…"
"Kero you idiot!" Sakura hissed at him.
"Well, you seem to be as loud as always Keroberos" Luna said nonchalantly.
"Hey! I know that voice! You're Lana…no…Luna! You're Luna!" Kero said.
"Well its nice to see that I have not been forgotten"
"Who could forget all the bossing around that came out of your mouth…" Kero mumbled.
A vein popped out of Luna's forehead as she remembered why she was glad that Keroberos was sealed.
"Guys, we need to help Serena" Sakura said.
"I told you, just watch" Luna replied, directing her attention towards her mistress.
"Well how is it that you are going to kill me, eh little princess?"
"Has anyone told you, you got a big mouth, it could kill you one day" Moon mocked her.
"How dare you mocked me! You will die!"
"Oh, I'm not the one dying, now!" Moon yelled.
Jupiter appeared behind the woman's back and shocked her with her thunder attack, Mercury and Neptune then proceeded to create fog to confuse her. Venus then used her Venus Love me Chain to strip her free of weapons while Mars and Uranus attacked her from both sides. Saturn the used her force shield to keep the explosion from doing to much damage, while Pluto added her Dead Scream to the attack. Finally Moon walked up to the now almost dead woman.
"What was your purpose?" she asked evenly.
"Huh, like I said before I was sent to kill you"
"Sent? By whom?"
"I won't answer shit to you!"
"Well then, to hell you go" Venus growled.
"I'm sorry" Moon said as a sword made of crystal, that once killed her, appeared on her right hand and pierced through the heart of the enemy.
"That was too easy, I wanted more of a challenge" Uranus complained.
"Something's not right here" Saturn pointed out.
"Yes, like Uranus said this was too easy, she didn't even try to defend herself" Neptune agreed.
"Well, maybe we are getting too good to the point that they don't pose a threat" Venus contemplated.
"No, that's not it, it just…a hunch but I think we were being tested" Mercury said.
"Tested? By whom?" Jupiter questioned.
"I don't know, but we are being watched" Mars whispered so low that only the sepsis would hear.
"Guys! Are you alright?" A screaming Sakura and Kagome asked as they ran towards the Senshi.
"Yes we are alright" Moon answered with a soft smile.
"Who was that? What did she wan-" Kagome stopped in the middle of her sentence when the presences of the watchers hit her, "No…it…can't…be…" Kagome paled when she recognized them.
"Kagome-chan, what's wrong?" Tomoyo asked. In less than a second Kagome had drew her bow and arrow and was now pointing it towards where she felt the familiar auras.
"Show yourself, Kagura, Kanna" Kagome hissed, letting her spiritual power rise.
"Well, it seems little Kagome has not forgotten us, even though five hundred years have passed" A woman flying in a feather said.
"You should be dead!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Should, but am not. You and that hanyou killed Naraku not me" Kagura replied.
"I thought you didn't want to fight us!"
"I don't want to but I have to, even though Naraku is dead, someone else took a hold of our hearts so I'm in the same position as before" Kagura growled. After hearing that, Kagome relax and let the bow and arrow fall to her side.
"Who did that to you?" she asked in a soothing tone.
"Don't pity me, I came here to test you not to receive your compassion" Kagura huffed.
"I just want to help like I did last time" Kagome replied.
"You know her?" Sakura asked Kagome.
"Hai, I'll explain later"
"So we were being tested" Jupiter mused.
"Be careful, she's a youkai, and a powerful at that" Mars warned the others.
"Don't worry, she won't actually hurts us unless she is being physically controlled" Kagome assured them.
"What business do you have here?" Moon asked.
"I was only sent here to warn you, that if you oppose them they will kill you in order to rule the world without threats" Kagura said.
"Who are 'them'?" Sakura asked.
"I'm not quite sure, they never show their faces to anyone, but they have great power and are planning to kill anything and everything to rebuild the world as they please" Kagura warned. "Kanna show them" she order the little white girl next to her. Kanna held up the mirror so that all the people present could see. The mirror showed what Neptune's mirror had shower before, only this one was sharper and you could see Serena, Sakura, and Kagome fighting side by side with three other figures which faces were covered by shadows. On top of Tokyo Tower stood three dark figures. Two could be seen as male with one female. One male had long dark purple hair that fell to his back, the other had dark, almost black, shoulder length brown hair in a low ponytail. And the woman, who stood in the middle and long straight light purple with streaks of brown hair in a high long ponytail that reach her waist. Their face were covered by shadows, but you could feel their sense of triumph as they watch the girls fight.
"So they are our enemies, huh?" Uranus started to crack her knuckles.
"It appears so" Sakura murmured.
"So they are the ones that have you captive?" Kagome asked Kagura and Kanna. Both nodded in response. "Don't worry I'll get your hearts back I promise and this time they will stay with you" Kagome promised.
"Whatever, you know what you're doing and if that mutt is here tell him the get off is lazy ass and help you cause they are anything but weak and stupid" Kagura said, "Well we already completed our task so until next time miko, Senshi" with that she left on her feather, masking her scent and aura so that they could not be follow later.
"Explain" Jupiter said to Kagome.
"Sure but can we do it in another place?" Kagome asked.
"Lead the way" Mars said, as she transformed back to Rei, the rest of the Senshi following suit.
Kagome took them to a park nearby as she started to explain how Naraku had created incarnations from his body, and how he had them under his control. Everybody listen patiently to her explanations before deciding that they could somewhat trust Kagura.
A/N: Well what you think? It took me a long time to write this chapter for the reason that i mentioned before and also my mom cause she has a tendency to interrupt me just when my inspirations hits. well anyway magic knights appear next chapter, i think, so for now just please review!
