"Maybe, you are biased," Sister #15 stated.

Annette sharply turned to glare at the offender, "the nobles work just as much as the middle-class to pay their taxes."

"Empress Serenity works towards peace with no illusion that pain and suffering might be needed to attain it unlike Relena Peacecraft."

"Soon, she'll be your sister-in-law. You don't hear us saying, you are biased about Quatre. Her majesty told us he is pure hearted similar to her and we take her word for it."

They reached the South Wing at that point. "You can pair up then pick your rooms. Brittany and Brenda along with Cassandra and Cassidy will attend you. Farewell."

Apparently, the South Wing had 14 rooms and each had a different color scheme.

"Ladies, we are to show you into the garden per her majesty's request. She will meet you there along with the queens of the Celestial Alliance." A woman in a green scarf waited out in the hall while they changed into suitable attire to meet an empress plus the queens.

"Oh my"

The sight that greeted them took away many breaths. The first intake of air was fresh from the poison called pollution, but fragrant. The colors of the flowers and leaves seemed to include the whole spectrum. Hummingbirds zoomed from flower patch to bush while butterflies fluttered free. A natural melody brought harmony to a busy location.

The queens ranged from 23- 28. They openly chatted like old friends. "What is so great about men that they are to inherit titles and females are married off? Let alone, female babies are killed in China so a boy can be born by chance." a tall woman with a white rose on her label questioned.

"Women are considered the weaker sex,"debated a woman with long golden blonde hair.

"I don't see them in labor or pushing a melon through a two inch hole," remarked an exotic lady in red.

"They go to war so they think men are powerful and should be heads of state," commented a smaller female, leaning back in a chair with her eyes closed.

"They have no true value of life so they are willing to toss it away. They don't understand war breeds controversy," Empress Serenity added in her own thoughts.

Sister #20 spoke up, "Men have blamed women for no sons when it is the sperm that decides the gender."

"In short, women are superior. Agreed?" The oldest looking female with hair so dark it was green tinted added on.

"Men say they sometimes have to push a pea through a straw," pointed out Sister #36 for an argument a male might make.

"They don't carry it for nine months through pregnancy symptoms."

"Their egos are more sensitive than women during pregnancy plus when we PMS."

"I told one guy, I have seen bigger. I swear his eyes watered as his shoulders slumped."

"I kicked a guy in his balls, which had him howling like a baby in a fetal position."

Some of the females laughed until they gasped for breath or their faces were red. Others were clutching their sides from laughing so hard.

Sister #12 decided to bring up a new topic, "How is it that you maintain your innocence after all you have been through? Any other would crumble under the pressure and experiments. Yet, you manage to stay sane and don't hate humanity for all it has done to you," quizzed Sister #14.

"I cannot blame all of humanity for one insane woman. If I lose who I am then I am no better than her. She would win in the battle of the mind," Serenity's ageless wisdom shone through.

Captain Lorelei Hanson strode into the view with a manilla envelope under her arm. She stopped in front of Serenity with a salute. Queen Amara of Uranus took the envelope from the captain to review the contents.

Captain Hanson stated, "A dark entity from the outer reaches of Charon is speeding toward the Milky Way. All moons in its way are obliterated, causing imbalances and instabilities. It is broadcasting the message, 'Sacre Lune!'"

"Each celestial orb has two names. The ancient name for the Moon is Sacre Lune while it is now the White Moon," Amy explained in Lament terms.

"So it is headed here, but why?"

"I doubt it is for an alliance with the Celestial Alliance," joked Jupiter's queen. "Charon and the other moons are in imminent danger."

"That is over 15 moons. Ladies, We must take our leave. Enjoy yourselves. Captain, fetch the Cosmic Generals and Silver Knights to the Conference Room. Fellow queens, you are with me," Serenity was standing at the entrance of the gardens until the queens surrounded her.

"Code yellow" was initiated. War precautions were set up.

Four of the eleven generals beat Serenity to the War Conference Room. They all stood at attention with a saute when Serenity and the queens entered. All five knights bowed at the waist.

The generals were combat based while the knights were magically enhanced with minds full of strategies. The knights each had a piece of White Moon to defend. The top knight, who led the Silver Knights defended the palace as Alex Cross. The four directions of the compass were the other four territories to defend. Each territory was mainly forests, plains, oceans, or mountains.

"How can we be of service, your majesty?"

"Something is headed our way, calling out to us as Sacre Lune. We do not think they are friendly since each moon they pass is destroyed one way or another."

"What are our orders, your excellence?" questioned General Lunasol, a military man of 25 years.

"Set-up protective measures on each moon. We need to know why they are headed here. An AI known as Ali is going to meet them before Charon to talk. We are not risking anyone on this mission, should it be suicidal," Queen Pluto informed the Cosmic Generals.

"Ali can place a bug on board," added General Martin.

"Only if they prove hostile. The bug can put the vessel on self-destruct mode or take out the threat," Serenity did not want to seem like a threat to a could be ally.

Satellites were around each celestial orb as communication, defensive, and offensive devices. They transmitted signals, projected shields, and could act like mines. The satellites were round with a code, only a few knew, to deactivate them.

"It would be wise to look out for anyone or thing unusual since we don't fully know what they are capable of yet," recommended Queen Mercury to the Silver Knights.

"Sir Alex, they could be after the Silver Crystal or me. So you are to heighten palace parameters," ordered Empress Serenity.

"Yes, your majesty!" Sir Alex Cross knew how often the enemy wanted power in one to two forms. His black pants were lint free and fade- resistant, and complimenting his blue hair (magic users have unique hair colors due to magical properties).
