*Theme song: Dare, by Stan Bush*

The cardiograph continually showed Miya Aino's heartbeat going at a steady rhythm. Chris Allot, Sailor Asteroid, sat next to her, watching her in the hopes that his presence with her would bring her out of the coma she had been forced into by a youma that had been attacking people in the park.

Voice: Eat something.

Chris turned around to see Reuisu standing in the doorway.

Chris: How can you others be so cold about this? Miya is a part of this family!

Reuisu: I know. We're all concerned deeply, but we understand that we have to be strong for her. If we don't eat or get any rest, there'll be no family for her to return to. And if you don't eat something, which you haven't done in the past two days, you won't be around here for when she does wake up. So go out to the café, get something to eat, and then come back here.

Chris: Reuisu, I-

Reuisu: That's an order, Chris. We may be a team and a family, but I'm still the leader of it, and you need food. So go out there and remember you'll be able to watch Miya without an empty stomach.

Chris took another bite of the sandwich in front of him, sitting at the usual booth in Titans Coffee. He sighed, thinking about his engagement plans to Miya. Originally, he had planned to marry her 1,000 years ago before the Silver Millennium came into play. But now, they may not get married at all. He sighed and pushed his food away from him. He hung his head down in sadness, and suddenly the glass from the window next to him shattered inwards, a man along with it. The man had been flung through the glass window. The man now lay unconscious on the floor, and people in the coffee shop began to flee in terror. Chris wondered for a brief second why people kept coming to this shop if it kept getting terrorized. He shrugged and looked into his coffee cup. It was now full of glass shards, so he sighed and saw that everyone had fled.

Chris: The damned youma just ruined my coffee. ASTEROID BLAZING POWER!!!

A glittery silhouette of Chris appeared. Asteroids shot around him, and several blasted into his chest, forming into the shirt and bow. Asteroids then shot into his arms, exploding on contact, and forming into the sleeves. Finally, the last asteroids shot into his legs, exploding on impact, and forming into the pants and boots. The last asteroid shot into his face, forming into a halo. He stood in a pose with an asteroid shooting at him from behind.

Sailor Asteroid leapt through the broken window and out onto the sidewalk. The youma, which was draining the life energy out of a young girl, was blue-colored and scaly, otherwise human in appearance. Wasting no time, Asteroid made his move to get the girl away from the youma.

Asteroid: ROCKET BLAST!!!

Asteroid's body glowed briefly, but then he ran faster than the eye could see, shoving the youma away from the girl and bringing the girl two blocks away from the battle. Asteroid immediately turned around and back to the youma, who was recovering from the shove. Asteroid came at it again, but the youma managed to see him coming and leapt up, avoiding a tackle from Asteroid. Asteroid swerved and faced the youma again, who landed easily back to the ground.

Asteroid: ROCK CRUMBLE!!!

The youma quickly leapt into the air as the ground it had been standing on rose up quickly. When it stopped, the youma landed on the pillar of ground and earth that Asteroid's attack had brought up. It jumped down off of it, aiming for Asteroid. Sailor Asteroid aimed his hand up, pointing a finger at the youma.

Asteroid: ASTEROID SHOT!!!

A miniature asteroid shot out of Asteroid's finger and exploded on contact with the youma, but the youma fell straight through it, barely feeling it.

Asteroid: ASTEROID SHOT!!! ASTEROID SHOT!!!

Sailor Asteroid continually fired the attack at the youma, who plowed through each one. Asteroid put his arms up over his head to try to block the youma's fall onto him.

Voice: AYARI DAGGERS!!!

Asteroid took his arms away from his head as he saw six silver blades, glowing an intense silver aura, come around the youma and pushed it away from Asteroid and into the pillar of ground, sticking the creature onto the mound. Asteroid raised an eyebrow up and turned to see a Sailor standing in the road. She had long flowing silver hair, and her miniskirt and bow were a crimson hue. She smiled at Sailor Asteroid and ran over to him.

Ayari: The name's Sailor Ayari.

Asteroid: Introductions later, let's finish this thing off!

Ayari: Agreed. AYARI SHURIKENS!!!

Sailor Ayari held out her hands, and glowing shurikens appeared in her hands. She aimed carefully and threw them all into the youma. Two hit it's head, and it vaporized as it died, releasing the energy it had collected out to the people it had stolen it from.

Asteroid: Good job, Ayari. I'm Sailor-

Ayari: -Asteroid, yes I know. You see...

Tara: ...I've come to join the Titans.

Sailor Ayari's real name was Tara Silvers. The entire group, excluding Miya, was in the Void, looking over Tara. After the defeat of the youma, Chris summoned the Titans to the Void to talk about Tara's request to join the Titans.

Reuisu: This is an unusual request, Tara. We've never met a Sailor from Earth that wasn't prophesized or came from a legend. Tell us a little about yourself.

Tara: I was born in Berlin, Germany to two Japanese citizens who were living there at the time. We stayed there for sixteen years. I discovered my powers when I was fourteen, and I've fought off several youmas and demons that have invaded there. I'm nineteen, and I first heard of the Titans when they were fighting that Doomsday guy. Anything else you need?

Reuisu: That's all we need for now, Tara. If you'd step outside the Void, we'll make our choice.

Tara nodded and calmly walked outside the Void. Reuisu closed the entranceway behind her. He turned to the others.

Reuisu: Well, what do you all think?

Lucy: What did you mean earlier when you said she wasn't prophesized or came from a legend?

Reuisu: I've checked the Titans paper and the Sailor Wars book. Neither shows nor mentions Sailor Ayari in them.

Christine: I say we let her in. You guys were a little reluctant when Anna and I were brought into the Titans, but we turned out pretty well.

Michelle: Honestly, I don't trust her. It seems kind of odd that a new Sailor just suddenly shows up when another Sailor, an enemy, shows up as well. Think they may be connected in some way?

Reuisu: Doubtful, but I don't really want her in, either. I don't think she understand both the pros and cons of what she'd like to do. We've all faced hardships in our lives as Titans, and I think she's only heard about the victories.

Anna: She seems nice enough. I think we should just let her in!

Chris: I agree. She helped me take down that youma. I think we can trust her.

Reuisu: I still have my doubts. I'll tell you what, we can show her some of the 'downfalls' of being a Titan, and let her choose.

Chris: Her name is Miya Aino. She's my girlfriend.

The Titans were assembled in the hospital room where Miya lay in her coma. Tara looked her over, including the life support systems that kept Miya alive throughout it all.

Tara: How long as she been like this?

Reuisu: A few days now. But some of us have had worse.

Michelle: Reuisu was in a coma for about two years before he met up with us.

Reuisu: Not to mention the psychological trauma I've faced.

Tara: Does this happen often?

Lucy: Seems like every Monday.

Tara took a deep breath.

Tara: I understand the risks of being a Sailor Soldier as much as anyone else. I'm willing to risk something like this.

Christine: Yeah? Well, we got something worse to show you.

[Tsukino Serena]

[Beloved Friend]

[ Hero & Agent ]

[ of Love and ]

[ Justice ]

That was what the grave for Serena said. Albeit, Serena was no longer dead, but was now serving as the ruler of the world, but the Titans felt that Tara should see it, anyway.

Tara: She really died?

Reuisu: Quite horribly, yes. A stake shoved through her chest. Needless to say, we didn't have a very pleasant time after that.

Tara: Has this happened to anyone else?

Lucy: Me. I've died once.

Tara: But you came back? As did this Serena person?

Anna: Serena was resurrected and came back to life, and grew up into Neo-Queen Serenity.

Tara: So any Sailor who dies comes back to life?

Reuisu: No. Serena and Lucy came back because it was prophesized or some legend spoke of it. However, none of my documents say that you're supposed to be a Titan. The same deal may not apply to you.

Tara rubbed her chin briefly in consideration.

Tara: To die... I wouldn't enjoy it happening, but it's a risk I'll have to take in this business. I've wanted to join you guys for so long, I can't be stopped now.

Reuisu: In that case, Tara Silvers, welcome to the Family.

To Be Continued...
