Crystal Palace, Crystal Tokyo March 26, 3024 9:30AM "Our top story this morning, United Nations Space Navy encountered and destroyed a rouge negaverse fleet late last night. The battle raged for at least half an hour before the 3rd Pluto Fleet was able to drive back the fleet. Our forces suffered minimal losses while the negaverse fleet was almost completely destroyed." Mina tossed the remote on the marble and oak table in front of her. "Same old misinformation," she sighed. "Well does anyone know what's going on here?" she asked as she looked around the room. "They have to be Negaverse ships, where would a pirate or rouge group get a Dolos class carrier?" Amy said. Her worry spread though the room. "I think just to be on the safe side we should upgrade our vilegence on the defensive lines." Serenity said ending the discussion. "Hey I heard that Puu was being transferred?" Michiru asked. "Yeah she's being sent back here to the palace instead of the gates of time." Serenity answered "I guess she wont have to worry about the crazy eights anymore." Hotaru joked as the rest of the senshi laughed at her comment. Crystal Palace, Crystal Tokyo, March 26, 3024 10:00 AM The story of the Royal Guards is one of the strangest stories anyone has ever heard of. When Neo-Queen Serenity took the throne she was given tutors to help her understand the different cultures and history of the other nations. During her study she reviewed United States history and was drawn to the section that covered world war two. Even though her native Japanese had suffered due to their misleader ship of her country, she became involved with the American's "arsenal of democracy" out of character even for her closest friends she researched the manufacturing capabilities of America. Both today and during WWII. One of the books she studied during her intellectual outbreak was a book by the name of Jane's. She loved how the Americans were able to create such weapons of quality and quantity. So she bought land in America and started building the 'Lunar Springfield Arms Manufacturing." To build these weapons that were thousands of years old. Soon vintage weapons were being made in numbers that haven't been seen since that awful war between the superpowers. Serenity also made several other upgrades to the royal guards. One assigning them the exclusive use of mobile suits, which greatly enhanced the combat abilities of the guards. Also creating several new occupations for new guards such as airborne paratroops, and combining the Sorcerer and Guardians into the guard's battalions. Also the uniforms also became vintage American uniforms, and the last upgrade was the contracting for a specialized fleet to be used to ferry the guards to any type of crisis. So on this mild sunny winter day, the royal guards went about their work around the palace. Their job was to supplement the security force and local police patrolling the grounds of the palace. So it was common to see several mobile suits and about a dozen guardsmen walking the grounds. On the eastern side of the palace which faced Tokyo bay the guards had their quarters and hangers for most of the military equipment stored there. These hangers were home to the different groups called platoons. Each platoon had its number painted above the door. In one hanger with the number "08" several suits known as gundams were knelling. One of them had a man working on the shoulder of one suit as another rocked back and forth on a lawn chair listing to music on the radio. "Hey Ken! You done yet? I'm getting hungry!" the man on the chair yelled up to the man working on the suit. "Almost, Asai, im hungry too." Ken yelled back as a black haired man came though the door that led to the squad lounge. "Hey Chad, you wanna get a bite?" Ken yelled at the dancing man "Hey Chad?!" he yelled again "Hey are you gonna answer me or what?" Chad heard Ken the third time and removed his headphones. Turning around to him he saw a silver thing flying though the air at him in which he ducked under it just in time "There! There is your heavy medal!" Ken yelled. Chad turned to Asai who was laughing "He's crazy!" "He is because your being a pain in the ass as usual." Another voice said. "Hey Greg, where is Gary at?" Asai asked the brown haired man. "He's meeting with our new commander and several newbies." Greg replied "Well when do we get to meet the meat?" Asai joked. Space around Earth. March 26, 3024 11:00 AM In the space around the moon and Earth are large sphere shaped objects. These are space colonies built to accodomate migrants leaving the crowed Earth. These colonies were named sides and were instrumental for the training of naval and other personal who would work in zero gravity. Many guardsmen have been trained and are now on their way back to Earth for posting to their next assignments. On one of these shuttles ferrying guardsmen back contained three men who wore different uniforms and had a different air around them. "Man the Earth is way too beautiful from here out in space." Sorcerer Derrelli told the other two men of his group, Archmage Torym and Archmage Ereunak. Torym nodded "Yeah pryo, you sure got that right." While Ereunak continued to read the magazine in his lap. "Ah soon we'll be back down there with a stuck up commander and Derrelli will start torching shit again." Derrelli smirked at that remark. "Yeah, but I was told we are going to be transferred to an elite group of royal guardsmen." Ereunak nodded and went back to his book. Torym looked out the window, but this time a streak of bright light was what he was looking at. Derrelli and Ereunak both saw the light and immeadly turned to the window. The light exploded into a buring miniature star. All three men were fascinated by it until someone yelled out "It's a signal flair!" by that time all the passengers in the shuttle had floated over and were staring out of the window. Ereunak saw something move with another thing following it, very fast. "Suits! a GM and a Zaku!" another man yelled. Derrelli pushed off his seat and floated up to the cockpit of the shuttle. Pushing a button on the door he floated inside, were both the pilot and co-pilot were arguing. "We have to help out that GM pilot." The woman co-pilot said. "We cant, we are too close to the earth's atmosphere and we don't have a mobile suit." He replied "No but we do have a ball." Derrelli said behind the two. "I was given some training on suits, so I think I can handle it." The told the pilots. "Its equipped with a 180mm cannon, but it only has fifteen rounds for it." The co-pilot said. "I can make it work." Derrelli replied. "Ok go help that GM pilot. And make it quick, we're entering earth's atmosphere in 10 minutes and if you don't watch you'll be pulled down and burned up." The pilot told him. Derrelli nodded and floated out of the cockpit. Moving past all the guardsmen and Torym and Ereunak he made his way to the cargo bay. On the way Torym saw him and asked "Where do you think your goin?" "To help out that pilot!" Derrelli yelled back and entered the cargo hold. The two sorcerers and guardsmen looked at each other as one said "He's going into battle with a ball?" one guardsman said out of expiration. Torym nodded his head. 'good luck pyro' Derrelli changed into a normal suit and climbed into the ball's cockpit. Once the shuttle's doors opened he fired his thruster and moved out into space. Looking around he saw the flashes and terror overcame him. "Damn their too close to the Earth, both of them will burn up in the atmosphere." He said to himself. Both the GM and the Zaku were getting close to the Earth. Suddenly the GM spun around the Zaku and fired hitting it in the back exploding the suit and killing the pilot. Derrelli grinned and moved toward the damaged GM. "Well he sure saved his own ass this time." He thought as he called the GM on the radio. "Hey GM pilot, im 5 kilometers above you moonward. Ill give you a lift to our shuttle." Inside the GM the pilot, Wizard Golum, looked up at the small ball that had come to save him. "Thanks, I used up most of my propellant in the fight." He called back looking back at the remains of the zaku he destroyed burn up in the atmosphere. "It looks like shooting stars." He told himself. Derrelli locked the harpoon gun on the GM and fired, looping the steel cable around the torso of the suit. Winching him in and towing him back to the shuttle. Crystal Palace. Crystal Tokyo. March 26, 3024 5:00 PM Commander Gary Mizuno looked at the newest members to his squad. Among them were Derrelli, Torym, and Ereunak. Wizard Golum, around fifteen more sorcerers And two females. Guardians Sailor Eos and Sailor Astraea. And rounding out the groups of newbies were two known faces. Sailor Uranus who wore the high rank uniform of the royal guards, and Prince Helios who's uniform bore the insignia of an warrant officer. "Well first of all I would like to welcome you to the eighth platoon, the black knights, our group is a new type of platoon. The training you received on the colonies gave you an idea on what we will be doing here. Sorcerer Derrelli, your group is our ground force. You will the rank and file of the platoon. Sailor Eos and Astraea you are part of the command group, which will be working with Sailor Uranus and myself.

" Now you all must be tired from your trip, so you have the rest of the day off. Meet back here tomorrow at eight sharp for your orientation." Hmmmm. My little nest egg is growing. Well ill have another chapter done soon.
