“What are you hiding from us?” Star asked
They didn’t answer.
Oryan looked at them confused.~*Could they be? No impossible, but Rini and Serena are..*~ he thought.
“Your not.. Are you?” he asked
“Not what? What aren’t they?” Steve asked puzzled
Sid and Sici smiled, but didn’t say anything.
“But then you’d be from..” Oryan said pointing at them
Sici’s smile grew.
“WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT’S GOING ON!!” Steve yelled
“So that would make you...” Oryan asked ignoring Steve
They nodded smiling broader then ever.
“Oh. I get it.” Star said finally realizing what was happening “Why didn’t you tell us?”
“Tell what?” North Star asked
“Couldn’t. Not supposed to be here.” Sici replied
“So why are you here?” Oryan asked
“To help Salena find her way.” Sid replied
“She’s confused. She doesn’t know what to do or who to trust.” Sici added
“She doesn’t want the past to repeat itself. She’s worries that it will.” Sid continued
“Why would she think that?” Star wondered jumping onto the kitchen table
Sici shrugged.
“Because she doesn’t want to lose anyone.” Sid answered after a pause “She can’t stand losing those she loves. She was really upset when Oryan stopped talking to her.”
“She won’t lose anyone.” Steve said
“Her head knows that, but her heart isn’t sure.” Sid explained “Now we have to find her.”
“Right. How do we do that.” Oryan asked
“First transform. Then get the other scouts. We’ll find her and tell you when we know exactly where she is.” Sici commanded
“Ok. What about me?” Steve asked
“We might need Night Sky.” Sid replied “We’ll be upstairs.”
“Wait. Do you want us to get the Solar Scout’s too?” Star asked
“No. This isn’t their fight.” Sici answered
Sid and Sici ran upstairs to Salena’s room.
**********
Salena looked around the room again. She didn’t know where she was. She wasn’t even sure if she was still on Earth. All she knew was that she should have listened to Renee.
“Think Salena. Think.” she told herself “I got myself into this, now I’ve got to get out of it.”
Salena got off the bed and walked around. She walked over to the desk and started opening the drawers. Nothing. She flipped through some of the books on the desk. Some of the were fairy
tails. Some held ingredients for different potions and spells. Salena then walked over to the cabinet to inspect it. She opened it and saw vials upon vials of potions.
“Dragon’s blood? Unicorn’s Blood? Memory potion?” Salena said reading some of the vials “What the hell is he into?”
Salena walked over to her bag and pulled out her broach and necklace and put them on. She walked to the door and opened it. To her great surprise it didn’t lead to the hall she came from earlier. She walked down the hall. There where candles on the walls to light the way. Every now and then there would be a locked door. Salena tried to open the doors as she passed them, none would open. Finally she came upon one that would open. Inside was a long wood table with candles on top of it. At the other end of the room was another door. Salena walked to it and opened it. It lead her to a room made around a labyrinth. She grabbed a candle from the wall and entered it.
The she marked where she went with the candle wax so she wouldn’t get lost. First she took a left, then another left, then a right, then a left, dead end. She turned around and took a right, right, then left, the middle hall, then right, dead end. She followed the candle wax back to the entrance. She tried to open the door but it wouldn’t.
“Great. Now i have to do this. Wish i would have known this before i closed the door.” she said to herself heading back into the maze.
She walked around the maze and couldn’t find the exit. She could tell she was lost, but tried not to panic. She was getting tired but she wanted out. She tried to climb over the walls but they were to high, so she tried jumping. Still to high. She walked around a while more still trying not to panic until her bracelet started pulling her in the right direction. After about 10 minute of being dragged she came to the exit. Kensi was standing there waiting for her.
“I thought i told you to stay put.” he recalled
“I don’t take orders.” she said firmly.
Salena was relieved to be out of the maze, but now she had to deal with Kensi.
‘What do you think you were doing? I said stay in the room, but no. Your to pig-headed to know what’s good for you.” he said in a defiant tone
Salena glared at him.
*************
Back at the house all of the scouts have gathered.
“What’s going on?” Aurora asked
“Does this have anything to do with Salena and Kenny?” Shooting Star asked
“We’ll explain in a minute.” Star said “Just calm down.”
Everyone watched two girls walk down the stairs. One had blonde hair and a blue pixie outfit and the other had blue hair and a yellow pixie outfit. On both of their foreheads were stars. Though the blonde had a blue one and the blue hair had a yellow one.
“What are you doing here?” North Star asked
“We are here to help find Salena.” the blonde said
“Unless you don’t want us to.” the blue hair said
“Who are you?” Sirus asked from Shooting Stars arms
“I am Sidra. This is my twin sister Sierra.” the blues haired introduced
Oryan walked up to the girls.
“Sid? Sici?” he asked
They nodded.
“Your all grown up.” he said
“Of course we are.” Sierra stated “We don’t always go around as 5 year olds.”
“Wait your telling me that those are my little sisters?” North Star asked
“We’re not you sisters.” Sierra stated
“We are, however, related. Though it will be a few years before that happens.” Sidra explained
Steve walked down the stairs from his room with Megan. Both were in their uniforms. Steve (Night Sky) was wearing a dark blue tux light Midnight’s and had a dark blue top hat to match. Megan (Nova) had on a regular scout uniform with a white skirt with a light orange streak at the bottom, yellow bows, and a gold tiara with a white gem.
“Everyone this is Night Sky and Sailor Nova.” Sierra introduced “They’ve finally come out of retirement.”
“Now is everyone ready to go?” Sidra asked
“I’m not working with a Phantom!” Shooting Star said flatly
“Fine. Just untransform and hand over you transformation item and leave.” Sidra commanded
“What?!”Shooting star asked shocked
“If you won’t work with all of the scouts then leave. Team work is critical for the future.” Sierra announced “Let go of the past and work towards the future.”
“There is no use for petty anger.” Sidra added
“What ever. Lets just get this over with.” Shooting star suggested annoyed by the fact that she was taking orders from someone she didn’t even know.
The scouts left the house following Sidra and Sierra.. Sidra and Sierra lead the way to Kenny’s house. They entered and headed for the door Kenny lead Salena through. Once everyone one was in the room Sierra said “I want every one to stay close. North star your staff has a light in it. Just touch the 5 points on top in a clockwise fashion.”
North star did so. The star on the top of her staff began to glow a light yellow light.
“You come up front so you can light the way with Sierra.” Sidra ordered
The scouts walked and walked and walked. They didn’t know where they were going or what was waiting for them at the end of the tunnel, they just knew they had to get there. And they did. They came to a door much like the one Salena went through. Sierra opened it and stepped through the door. Everyone followed. They found themselves at the entrance of the labyrinth Salena traveled through.
“Everyone stay together.” Sidra instructed
Once in the labyrinth Nova, Night Sky and North Star seemed to have lost the others. Aurora was lost by herself with Sirus and Datony. The twins by themselves with Star and Lizy, and Shooting Star and Illusion together. All going in different direction.
Nova pulled out her microcomputer to locate the exit and the other scouts.
“Find anything?” Night sky asked
“I found the exit. It will take a while to get there.” Nova reported
“North Star try blasting a hole in the wall. Maybe we will be able to get out faster and find the others.” Night sky suggested
“Ok.” she said. North star pointed her staff at the wall in front of them and yelled “Star Solar attack!”
A giant hole appeared in the wall opposite them.
“Nice job.” Night Sky congratulated
“Thanks.” North Star said
“Where are the others?” Aurora asked turning in circles
“I think this labyrinth has a mind of its own.” Sirus exclaimed
“I don’t like this.” Datony said “We need to find the others.”
“Well then we better get a move on.” Aurora stated picking up the 2 cats and running straight forward.
“I thought this would happen.” Sierra said leaning against the wall
“What do you mean?” Lizy asked
“Well most labyrinths have some kind of magic in them.” Sierra explained
“They play tricks on people.” Sidra summing it up
“Right.” Star mumbled “I hope the others are ok.”
“I think they should be fine. Most of the time the labyrinth separates people for a reason.” Sidra said yawning “To help them sort something out and what not.”
“I wonder who got put together.” Lizy told them
“North Star and her parents, the other cats and Aurora, and Shooting Star and Illusion.” Sierra said categorically
“How do you know?” Lizy asked
“Simple. North Star is with her parents. Shooting Star and Illusion have some unfinished business, and Aurora and the cats were left. Then us.” Sidra explained
“Yup” her twin answered
“But why were we put together?” Star asked
Sidra and Sierra looked at each other not know what to say.
“I know why.” Lizy announced “It is because of you two. You know you’re not to be here in this time. Yet you came. Your supposed to tell us about where you came from and why you came here.”
“Smart kid.” Sierra complimented
“So where are you from and why did you come here?” Star requested
*********
“Where are we?” Illusion asked
“I don’t know! Why must you ask me?” Shooting Star asked irritated
“Never mind then.” Illusion said walking in front “Why do you hate me so much? Your fine with me when I’m Renee. What about Sailor Illusion can’t you stand?”
“You betrayed your loyalty to the Queen.” Shooting star responded
“Phantoms have no loyalties.” Illusion spoke loudly
“I figured as much.” shooting star snapped
“The only place we were ever loyal to was the Kingdom of Shadows/Darkness. We didn’t even stay loyal to them for long.” Illusion explained “Phantoms are rebels. We don’t like to take orders. The only reason we weren’t there the day the Kingdom of Light was attacked was because we couldn’t.”
Shooting star didn’t believe her. “What was stopping you?”
“The day before the attack these four scouts came to where we were staying. They told us that tomorrow we had to stay away from the kingdom or suffer great consequences. They said the kingdom was going to be attacked and that it must happen. Everything must die before new life can be born. I didn’t understand what they meant.” Illusion explicated
“So you couldn’t warn the Kingdom because some group of scouts told you to stay out of it?” Shooting Star asked
“They weren’t just any scouts. They said they were apart of the Guardian Force. What ever that is. They told us that they worked with the Center on bringing order between the stars.” Illusion said “They said if we helped the kingdom everyone would suffer. That the princess would forever be lost in her own little world because she couldn’t see the good in being the Princess of Light.”
“So the princess was selfish. I guess our past lives are like these lives.” Shooting Star said “Salena might be the princess and she doesn’t want it. The old princess never wanted it either. Always wanting to do what she wants. Never what was best for others.”
“I don’t think so.” said Illusion at a fork in the road “I think she just wanted to find her own happiness.”
“Everyone wants to find their own happiness. But not everyone can find it.” Shooting Star stated
“I know. I never did. That’s why i had no loyalties to a kingdom. I want to find happiness before i settled down.” Illusion said
“So did i, but i chose to stay with the Kingdom of Light.” Shooting star exclaimed
“But they needed you. Every kingdom the phantoms tried to stay with had enough scouts or protectors. So eventually we just gave up and stayed to ourselves.”
“I guess it would be hard to stay some where, where you’re not needed.” Shooting Star said
*************
Sidra sat down on the floor and began to explain.
“We are from the year 3022. We came from a place called the Palace of Life.”Sidra said
“It’s not on Earth. It’s on a planet near Polaris.”Sierra added
“Anyways. The Palace was going through some hard times. Most of them were caused my Sailor Sun and her group. They wouldn’t abide by the Guardian Forces rules.” Sidra explained
“Who are the guardian forces?” Lizy asked
Sierra answered “They are 4 scouts who bring order to the stars. They work along side the Center. Not many people have met them, or even heard of them.”
“The g-force set up a bunch of rules the Kingdoms were to follow once the Palace of Life was organized. The queen was having trouble keeping order between the scouts. Mostly between the Phantoms, Stars, and Rogues. The rogues were scouts from the sun kingdom. The Star scout’s were always bickering with the Rogues over stupid stuff and with the phantoms about their loyalties. The phantoms don’t really have a problem with the rogues since one of their scouts is now a Rogue. The queen is getting tired of the fighting. We’ve been getting tired of the queen yelling at the scouts. So we came back here to before the princess was officially found to end it. We weren’t sure how we were going to end it, but were going to. There’s nothing we can do about the Rogues, but the Star and phantom scouts are another story. We didn’t know coming back here would change so much. Our mother always told us stories about how it was in this time. She never really liked it. She doesn’t like how things are going in our original time either.” Sidra told them
“Yeah. To much fighting.” Sierra chimed in “The queen never got in this kind of trouble, from what we know.”
“So salena isn’t the queen?” Lizy asked
“We never said that.” Sidra stated “We don’t know if she is or not. We won’t know until all of the phantom scouts and star scouts can finally put aside their differences.”
“So they must have for your queen to show up, right?” Star asked
“Not necessarily. The queen of light and queen of life can be two completely different queens.” Sierra confirmed “We won’t tell you if they are the same or not. You’ll just have to find out on your own.”
“We won’t even tell you who the queen of light is in our time.” Sidra said standing back up.
“Why not?”Lizy asked
“That wouldn’t be any fun now would it?” Sierra questioned
“Lets get out of here. This thing is bugging me.” Sidra stated
The two girls and two cats began walking again. They turned right and found what they were looking for. The exit.
“You mean to tell me we where this close all this time?!”Sidra asked aggravated
“This place is making me dizzy.” North Star said
“I know. I wish would could get out of here.”Nova expressed
“Guys? Is that You?” someone asked from the other side of the wall
“Aurora?” Night Sky asked
“Yeah its me. Datony and Sirus are with me.” Aurora yelled
“Are you ok?” Nova asked
“Yeah we’re fine. How bout you guys?” Sirus asked back
“I thought i heard voices.” Lizy said running up to Night Sky. “The exit is this way.”
“Excellent!”North Star shouted in excitement
“Aurora stand back!” North Star yelled “Star Solar Attack!”
North Star looked through the hole she just blasted for her friend. Aurora, Datony, and Sirus climbed through the hole and over to the others.
“Its about time we found you people.” Datony said climbing onto Nova’s shoulders
Everyone followed Lizy to the exit and saw Star, Sidra, Sierra, Illusion, and Shooting Star there waiting for them.
“Hey guys.” Illusion greeted “Long time no see.”
