On the rebel planet, a dark fortress had erected itself in the exact center of the planet’s busiest city, radiating black energy into the surrounding atmosphere and into the planet underneath, turning the air, the ground, the plants, everything a dreary gray. Inside the fortress was a throne room constructed completely of black crystal, within which a woman in shadow sat on a black crystal throne. She smiled, and her fangs caught the light, sparkling in the otherwise dark room. Before her four figures knelt, heads bowed, all wearing identical uniforms and capes, black swords hanging from their hips. The woman cackled, and the four figures looked up.
“Your time has come to fight, my fine generals……” she said, her voice deep, yet almost sweet. She held a deep purple orb in her clawed fingers, and she moved her hands over it, caressing it lovingly. An image of Queen Serenity and the five princesses appeared within it, and the four generals at her feet gazed at it in awe. “Queen Serenity and her pathetic senshi know what we are planning, but we still hold the upper hand.” The image in the orb changed, zooming in to Ami’s face. “This, the fifth senshi, does not yet know how to use her powers. Without the fifth senshi, the others are powerless against me. As a group, they have the power to defeat us, but as long as their team remains incomplete, we will prevail!” She smiled at the four generals, who still gazed into the orb. “Look upon and learn this face well, my loyal soldiers. You are to find this girl, and destroy her. Do not fail me!” she shouted, the orb leaving her grasp and moving to float before the four generals as they stood up, bowing their heads.
“We will do as you wish, my queen,” said Kunzite as the other generals gathered behind him, kneeling behind their leader. Zoisite looked up at the face in the orb, feeling oddly confused for an instant. Something about that girl……..she seemed so familiar……… Metallia noticed Zoisite wavering, and reached into the depths of his memory, past the block which she had placed there herself in order to keep him under her control. She caught a glimpse of Zoisite holding Ami in his arms, and chuckled, pushing the memory even farther back.
“I have changed my mind.” She said, making a motion with one hand. The orb floated back to her and she caught it with her other hand, looking into it with a wry smile. She turned it this way and that, then looked at Zoisite. “Zoisite, this will be your mission alone. Destroy this girl, to prove your loyalty to me.”
Zoisite stood, all traces of recognition gone, He clasped a hand at is chest and bowed his head. “Yes my queen, I will gladly do your bidding.” With that he took the edge of his cape in one hand and wrapped it around himself, phasing out of sight. Metallia cackled, watching his travels in her orb.
“What a lovely little show this will be…..” she said, and laughed insanely as the other generals knelt once more in submission to their master.
