[...] person is thinking or telepathy *~*~*~*~: change of some sort you’ll get it. story = @-------------}----- -----{-----------------@ Faith walked into a dimly lit room. It was shaped just like the other rooms. Incense perfumed the air heavily. A couple candles were all the light in the room. Large overstuffed couches were placed against the walls. there was one window but it was covered by black curtains. [Good Afternoon Illusion] Zabora’s voice greeted. Faith noticed that her and Ben were not alone. Rebecca, Aub, Ally, Eurus, Aurora, Xavier and Zabora were also in the room. She jumped because they all appeared out of the dark shadows of the room. “Come sit down.” Aub said gesturing to one of the couches. “Okay why are we here?” Faith asked staring at Zabora with extreme dislike. “Please just sit down and everything will be clear.” Ben explained. Walking over she reluctantly sat down and felt drowsy. Her eyelids dropped as everyone sat down. [Keep your mind alert. Now close your eyes!] Zabora’s voice sang through her mind. Faith willing let her eyes closed as her mind fogged over with sleepiness. She appeared in a room with four doors. Each had the silhouette of each of her friend’s pets. Suddenly Ally appeared out of thin air “Follow me.” her voice was calm as she walked over to one of the doors. Faith walked forward and through the door. ~*~*~*~*~*~ She was in a new place. A large house that was surrounded by trees. Ally walked up the marble staircase. Suddenly a little girl dressed in a fancy nightgown ran up and into a room. Surprising Faith she ran right Ally who didn’t seem to notice. Sadness was in her eyes as they walked into the room. An old man was laying on a large bed in the center of the bed. The little girl tripped over the rug that the bed sat on and she fell forward. Her stockings now had runs. “Grandfather!” her hazel eyes filled with tears. “Ally is that-” Ally looked at Faith and put a finger to her lips as she turned back to the old man and the girl. “Alison. What Ever is wrong?” the old man asked, His breathing was heavily labored. She walked over to the bed. Ally and Faith walked forward to get a better. Grandfather was a frail old man. He had thinned gray hair and wrinkles creased his face. He looked sickly pale. “I had that dream again. Only this time you weren’t there with me.” she started crying as she crawled up and laid her head on her grandfather’s chest. He lifted up a shaky calloused hand and stroked the young girl’s dark red hair that was lightly streaked with the color ginger. “My young lady I’ll never leave you.” he grinned making his face crinkle even more. Suddenly the vision of the small girl and her grandfather whirled around. Faith felt her head spin faster but Ally never left. When it stopped they were in a conference room. A strict looking woman sat across from Alison who was now two years older. Her face was stained with dried tears. A woman who Faith recognized as Jemimah except she was different looking walked in. She was wearing a gray suit and a pair of rectangle spectacles and her hair was pulled back into a black bun. “You may go now Mrs.....” she said with a pause. “Parfitt! Parfitt! I swear father had no idea who he hired for his lawyer!” the strict woman stood up angrily and stormed out. Alison winced at the sound of harshness. “Well good riddens you old bat!” Jemimah muttered as she sat next to Alison. Her almond colored eyes took their gentle look back as she gazed at an 8 year old Alison, “I must say your grandfather wouldn’t want you to stay with her. He made sure of that.” “Am I going to an orphanage?” she asked her hazel eyes were full of painful emotions. “NO! As if your grandfather would leave you to the wolves! Of course not. As you see he wanted to make sure you were safe so you are coming with me to my home in Tokyo.” she said taking Ally’s hands in her own. A ferret shot out of Alison’s pocket and wrapped itself around her shoulders. “But I-” “You don’t have to if you don’t want to it’s your choice. But I promise you won’t have to worry about people leaving ever again.” Jemimah said looking her straight in the eyes. Alison looked scared for a moment but then she nodded her head and slid off the chair. The Conference room disappeared as Alison hugged Jemimah. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Ally and Faith were standing outside the door again. Faith felt sick to her stomach. Someone actually had rescued the first of the four with no second thought. Suddenly Aub Appeared. “Faith please continue. Come with me to see.” she walked toward the second door with a black outline of a wolf on it. Faith reluctantly followed as Aub twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open. ~*~*~*~*~*~ A woman that had almost the same features as Aub sat in the kitchen. The miniature version of Aub about the age of four sat on the counter as her mother sat cooking. A radio was playing softly in the background. “Mommy can we bake a cake for dinner?” the little girl asked. “For dinner?”, The woman said thoughtfully, “I think it would make a better dessert don’t you?” she asked and tickled the girl’s stomach. Giggling filled the air. Faith turned to see tears spilling over in Aub’s eyes. She could see how Aub was trying to pull herself back from touching the older woman. The time sped forward. They were now in a car. 4 year old Aub was in a car seat and Her mother was driving and they sang along to the radio. “Hey Banana you want to stop for some Ice Cream?” her mother called over the radio. “YEA!” the small redhead threw her hands in the air and cheered. “O-” The car suddenly lurched. The sounds of crunching metal could be heard and everything spun as her mother was thrown through the windshield. Aub started crying as she pressed the button on her car seat and limped out of the car toward the battered form of her mother. “Mommy?” she cried as she fell onto her chest, “Mommy wake up. Wake up Mommy!” Another man stumbled out of a blue Chevrolet and stared at the small girl then fell unconscious. “Mommy it’s cold I want to go home! Don’t leave me here! Mommy!” the girl tugged at her mother’s bloodstained shirt A black form could be seen through the smoke as it approached the girl. When it got close enough it showed a huge wolf. It walked and laid down by the girl to keep her warm as the December winter started to snow and sirens pierced through the afternoon. Tears flowed in rivers down Aub’s cheeks as they saw the scene of the car crash dissolved. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Aub was being patted on the shoulder by Ally as she tried wiping away her tears. [So it was true her mother had died I can’t blame her for the nightmares.] Faith thought sympathetically. [Don’t you dare get soft on me!] Aub voice said strongly in her mind. “Oy! Rebecca come on we can’t be waiting her forever!” Ally yelled out. Rebecca’s form appeared in front of the three. Looking Faith her eyes were filled with annoyance, “I’m glad you’re the last one. I can’t bare to go through this again.” With that Rebecca turned to the second to last door with a cat on it and walked through. ~*~*~*~*~*~ It showed a younger version of Rebecca walking down the street each hand was held by two adults. One was a younger woman that looked similar to her daughter. Then the other was her father. The were dressed for a business meeting. “Daddy when can I see Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemimah?” she asked the tall man holding her right hand. He smiled weakly, “Soon honey very soon.” Faith noticed the version of Rebecca she had known was clutching her fists angrily. They walked into a tall building. The four girls could tell she was fighting back tears as they entered the business. 5 year old Rebecca yawned as they got into an elevator. Her mother picked her up and clutched her to her chest. Her blue eyes began to leak with sadness. As they got off the elevator they stepped onto the top floor. The woman set her daughter down. Smoothing her daughter’s hair, “You know I always love you.” “Of course Mommy.” she smiled. “Come on.” the man said helping his wife up as the girl stood in the hallway smiling and eating a sucker her mother had handed her. “What is going on?” Faith asked Rebecca. Rebecca’s eyes were a mix of angry and sadness, “Just watch.” Suddenly a loud banging sound and the entire building burst into flames. The small blonde girl screamed as fire surrounded her. A cat appeared and grabbed her pulling her towards the stairs with her mouth. Then the girl fainted. The scenery once again spun around which Faith was getting used too. There was rain and loud sirens. The little girl was pulled out of rubble with the cat protectively by her. “Momma! Daddy!” the girl screamed. “There’s been a bombing.” the fireman told her as he went to pick her up. “Don’t touch me!” she screamed and suddenly was blasted with energy. Then she was swooped up to another man’s arms. But she let him. The face of Ben could be seen by the flashing lights. She buried her face into his jacket and sobbed. ~*~*~*~*~*~ They appeared once again out of the door. One door was left. “Which one is this?” she asked pointing to the last door. “Your past memories.” Rebecca said she seemed to be getting slightly transparent. Her eyes widened. “Faith you must go through your door you’re the only one that can open that door.” Aub explained urgently. “NO I can’t!” she shouted loudly. “You have too. Time is almost up. Please Faith it’s the only way for you to truly understand who you are!” Ally said her voice getting softer by the second. “Fine! I’ll go!” she said holding back her tears as she touched the handle and flung the door open. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Rebecca looked around. She could tell why Faith hadn’t want to see her past. They were in what seemed to be the bad part of San Francisco. There was a couple gunshots She Ally and Aub jumped only Faith didn’t she her body seemed to glow a blood red color and her eyes glared at the run down apartment with ultimate disgust. A man stumbled up the steps to the door and kicked the door open. “Faith! Get your ass out here!” he yelled. A girl just a couple years younger then Faith was now around the age of sixteen walked out. “I’m LEAVING!” she shouted throwing her backpack over her right shoulder and walking down the steps. The man glared angrily,” Sure leave the that BITCH!” Faith spun around a roar deafened her as she shouted, “Don’t you FUCKING dare talk about my mother like that!” She screamed throwing a full garbage can at the high older man. “You are just like her! You have no way in this world woman. So you just leave and see what good you are! You’ll end up crawling back to me!” he snarled. Faith face flushed and she walked into the night. ~*~*~*~*~*~ They were back in the room with the doors. Faith was fully angry. Her eyes were flickering with a flame of hatred in them. “Faith we are sorry we had no idea.” Ally said. “Forget it. He was an asshole and that’s all there was. My mother left and was killed by a mugger. That’s the only reason why she never came back.” she said calming down. Rebecca sighed, “Let’s go we still have one more thing to show you.” ~*~*~*~*~*~ Rebecca looked up she shrugged off her memories and proceeded to awaken her friend from their channeling minds. Aub shook her and slapped her face a couple times to clear her mind. Ally stretched and jumped up. Faith was just sitting in a daze. “What was that place?” she asked her face still showed no expression. “That’s a joint memory. A place to access memories. Kind of like a séance. “ Rebecca said handing her a glass of liquid. She drank the warm liquid then winced, “Ah what on earth is that?!” she chocked out. “Peppermint tea. Brings ya back to reality. Unfortunately.” Aub rolled her eyes as she drank some. “Oh yeah like I’m going to have Grand Nana kick me out just because I let you four go cuckoo on us.” Ben said pouring some for Ally. “Where do you think we’ve been for the past six months?” Rebecca smirked as she took her glass. “Haha very funny.” Ben rolled his eyes. “So what else did you want to show me?” Faith asked getting a little weirded out about what had just happened. “Zabora care to explain?” Ally asked the tiger who purred. “I’m Zabora.” she announced in English, “And I’ve told once already who you are but you don’t seem to realize it. You and the other three are Senshi, but much more powerful then the Senshi that is getting so much publicity these days.” Faith’s jaw dropped. “Dear Lord girl keep it together even we don’t know this other then we got some serious mental issues.” Rebecca said as she turned her attention back on the tiger. “Thank you very much Rebecca. Now one thousand years ago you were alive and were a very important group for the moon kingdom. The Moon kingdom is a kingdom that ruled over all the universe in this galaxy.” Zabora answered before anyone could ask, “You may have questions but it’s already apparent you are different from um.. Normal humans. You’ve had dreams where either I Eurus, Aurora or Xavier have shown you your warrior selves.” “Oh yes. How fun it was!” Eurus’ voice squeaked in a sort of ferret laughter. “Shut up rat boy unless you want to be for dinner!” Aurora hissed extending her claws. “Will you two shut up and let Zabora finish?” Xavier said glaring at the two. “Thank you Xavier. Anyway, If it weren’t for you four Princess Serenity and her Court would no nothing of their powers. Well except for Pluto but she has helped. Queen Serenity-” “Wait I thought that was the Princess’s name.” Aub said getting confused. “Yes but see in each royal family of the planet the name of the queen is handed down to the princess. The princess’s name is shortened to a nickname until the coming of age ceremony then it is a must that the princess be called by her proper name. Same goes for The males except they never truly have full power as the females.” Zabora waited till the look of confusion disappeared off the girls’ faces. “Queen Serenity hired you to teach her daughter and her court the ways of protecting a planet. She was a kind woman and thought very badly of war but when Queen Beryl and her army started attacking the kingdom was in disorder ever since little Serenity was four. You four set to work immediately training the royal heirs. They learned well. You had lived on the moon for a long time but wanted you’re own home to call yours so you asked the Queen to grant you a home far off from the moon kingdom as payment for your teaching. As much as you were loyal you four were very ! solitary. Soon the Senshi began to think of you as another part of the court with certain magical abilities of your own. You were granted your planet Queen Serenity made a vortex and you had your own dimension that surrounded the Galaxy.. Some people with magical abilities went to live with you. Even if it was a time of hopeful peace predejiuce was alive and kicking. So you granted them their home and there you lived on Silver Moon only leaving to teach the Senshi. But soon travel grew too much and you gave some power to two cats.” Zabora stopped when she heard Aurora muttering something, “Damn cats. Think they are better then us.” Chuckling Zabora continued, “Yes they basically stole your jobs. We aren’t really guardians unlike Luna and Artemis. We are Familiars. We warn you against approaching danger and protect you while you sleep. Our powers are almost as powerful as yours but they are only enough to protect if you are ever in an over powering danger. You each have your own specific powers Faith you can make Illusions, Rebecca has power of mind, Ally you can teleport and basically transform into anything, Aubriana you have great strength and you have sense of who is good and bad just by looking at them. These are your powers. When you finally got a hope of no word from Beryl’s army things were peaceful, But then she attacked destroying your home and everyone on it. Rebecca had a great deal to do with it. She and Ally made us four go into these special canisters that Faith took from the moon palace and sent us to Earth. Rebecca knew that we would all die when we reached the moon kingdom! . We warned her but she was very stubborn refuses to believe that she could reach the Moon that fast. Princess died on her own sword when Prince of Earth was stolen. The other Senshi died in battle. Including you. Only you were born in America and not here. I think Queen Serenity made sure of that.” “So why do the adults know who we are?” Faith asked looking at Ben. “I can explain that. We were your most loyal subjects it’s only a coincidence that I ended up being Rebecca’s father’s brother.” Ben said before Zabora could say anything. “Why don’t we remember any of this?” Rebecca asked looking at Aurora. “Well you see Mystic, We don’t really know ourselves. The only reason we are here is because we have a bond with each of you. Unlike Luna and Artemis who are just assistant coaches, we are connected in mind and spirit.” Aurora replied twitching her tail and turning a pale purplish color but kept her tan markings. “So we can literally talk to the Animals-” “Ally don’t you dare start singing!” Aub said laughing. “Walk with the animals......” “Alison please do shut up!” Faith said still trying to let everything sink in. “Hey I thought we were special?” Eurus pouted. “We are you oxy-moron.” Aurora said. “Aurora do you even know what an oxy-moron is?” Rebecca asked. “No. Does it matter?” “As far as you know.” she sighed. “Ah look almost lunch time!” Aubriana jumped up. “Almost not quite.” Rebecca said. “Enough sarcasm I’ll let you guys go and we will meet tomorrow by the south edge of the lake for your... training.” Ben said walking out. ~*~*~*~*~*~ They learned was a series of flexibility and acrobatics with a whole bunch of karate and martial arts thrown into one session. They had to dodged rocks, branches and beams of light which the Familiars projected. Sometimes even having to fight Zabora or Xavier sense they were the biggest. “How are we supposed to fight if we have no weapons?” Ally asked wiping her forehead. “Your brooches!” Eurus said as he wrapped himself around a branch the was above them. “Huh?” The girls asked. “Each of You Hold up your brooch and yell your Senshi name Crystallized Magic Make-Up!” Aurora said standing on a root that poked out of the ground. “FANTASY CRYSTILIZED MAGIC MAKE-UP!” Aub suddenly transformed into the same suit that Faith had seen except hers was a brownish color instead of Dark green and a mask covered her eyes. “LEGEND CRYSTILIZED POWER!” Ally’s was the same except a light blue color. “MYSTIC CRYSTLIZIED MAGIC MAKE-UP!” Rebecca’s was a dark sea green. The Three Senshi stared at Faith waiting for her to transform too. Faith looked down at the brooch that was in her hand. It had a dark green stone that was in the shape of a tiger and silver wove around it in intricate designs. “ILLUSION CRYSTILIZED MAGIC MAKE-UP!” she was back in the suit that she had the night she dreamed in the jungle. The masks were odd. They weren’t like the opera mask that Tuxedo mask wore. They covered around their eyes in the color of the skirt then kinda disappeared into glitter and fell down their cheek bones in a curved design onto their cheeks. {I had to make that clear. Plus it’s really cool looking!} “Whoa this is way cooler then the pictures of Sailor Moon’s outfits!” Legend said looking at hers. “Why does it feel like we are missing something?” Illusion asked thoughtfully. “I get the same feeling....” Fantasy said closing her eyes trying to remember something that wasn’t there but should be. Mystic snapped her fingers, “I got it!” she grinned. She focused her energy and with a bright light a sword appeared in her hand. “Wicked!” Legend said as she did the same and a slightly different sword appeared. “I believe this will be more appropriate.” Fantasy grinned and twirled her around in the air. “They actually let us have swords?” Illusion stared at hers. “Well not technically swords. Each can turn into any weapon you desire just you were more acquainted with using swords.” Aurora said launching herself towards Mystic’s shoulder. “Oh well that explains it.” Fantasy shrugged. “You have no idea what we’re talking about do you?” Xavier looked at her suspiciously. “No idea whatsoever.” Fantasy shook her head and laughed. Eurus perked his ears up and looked towards the bushes. “Quick detransform!” He hissed to the four Senshi. “How?” Illusion asked urgently. “Put the hilt of the sword to your brooch!” Zabora said nudging her hand. They mimicked the orders and they were transformed into their normal clothes just as Shinozaki walked into the clearing where they were. “Good afternoon Shinozaki. How are you doing this fine day?” Aub asked wiping her forehead with the back of her hand and took a drink from her water bottle. “Just peachy.” he muttered. “Why do I get the feeling that you don’t want to be here?” Rebecca asked raising an eyebrow and crossing her arms in front of her chest. “Because I do, but I have to be away from my friend. And let’s just say she gets in trouble really quick.” he muttered picking up one of the wooden swords that were laying around from earlier practices. “Ah who doesn’t in this place?” Aub shrugged as she sat down on a log. “I don’t.” Brandon appeared on a tree branch making them jump at the coldness in his voice. “Well other then Mister Personality.” Rebecca rolled her eyes. “I don’t like your attitude.” he responded sourly. “Well it’s the same down her you white haired monkey!” Ally growled. “What did you call me?” He said blinking at the girl in surprise. “I accept your challenge.” Faith said pulling out a wooden sword and pointing it at Brandon. Everyone stared at Faith blankly as she got into a fighting stance and watching her new opponent cautiously. “I don’t fight girls.” he said leaning against the tree and twirling a leaf that floated down in the late fall air. “Girl? I’m a woman and two years older then you!” she spat angrily. “Oh excuse me.” he drawled on Faith went to attack him but Rebecca had already beaten her too it and pushed him down with a mental fist. He fell sprawled out on a pile of leaves. “Looks like you need to work on your mental blocks Brandon.” Grand nana appeared out of nowhere making everyone jump. She ignored their surprised looks and turned to the rest of the students, “I have a guest and his granddaughter her friends arriving. Please be extra polite to them. Shinozaki I think you will find these guests more of acquaintance.” her wrinkled face drew in a knowing smile. Shinozaki blinked a couple times in confusion. Grand Nana turned to the girls, “I’ll need to borrow Rebecca and you may also be of help. It won’t be easy getting ready before next week for our visitors.” Rebecca instantly knew what she was talking about and sent a message to the other girls the telepathy. They nodded and walked away with the animals following. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Whew that took a while. Well anyway look out for chapter for. New Students For Kyuui Ken Shizukesa a.k.a. Peace and Serenity gets some strange guests. Ja Ne everyone! Sincerely Lady Fantasy or Aub-chan.
