Serene: *wakes up to find herself in a cold little cave with the only light coming from some bars at the top.* What's going on here? *She tries to fly out, but is held back with chains that restrict her from using her powers.*
Green: Stay still and you will not feel too drained.
Red: It's only a matter of time until your powers are completely drained.
Purple: And when you are, it will only be a few seconds until you are dead.
Serene: *struggles with the chains and feels herself becoming weak* Why? If you really are me, why hate me and do this?
Blue: That night you came; we left you and became real in others.
Green: In other words, we possessed the bodies of the real Senshi and took on their feelings. For some odd reason the bodies of our hosts just took our form, so that's why you see us as yourself.
Serene: Are there only four of you?
Red: Yes. We took on the only colors of the people that exist here.
Serene: *her knees give out on her and she falls to the floor* But why do you need my powers?
Purple: So we can keep this form without having the real Senshi breaking through.
Blue: I know we sound maniacal, but we are not really.
Red: Shut up.
Serene: Where did all this come from? Are you the souls of the Great Ones?
Purple: Yes, and no. Their bodies were destroyed and their souls live on in others even to this day. But, since they gave you all their powers, they do not possess the recollection of any past life. We represent each of their powers, but we have our own personalities.
Serene: Oh, I get it. You only represent the powers, but do not possess them.
Blue: Exactly.
Red: Wait, why are we even still talking to her? We are wasting time. Let's get out of her girls and look around at our future domain.
All of the Senshi leave and Serene can feel her last ounce of power being drained from her body. She tries to call out to Andrew using what is left of her power. Then, she falls to the floor, still breathing but with none of her senses working. She is alive, but her body is just a hollow shell of nothing. Her necklace glows.
~*~*~*~*
Andrew: *feels a sharp pain and holds onto his heart as he wakes up. He looks around confused* How did I get here? What happened? *He holds his head and feels the bandages* They took Serene... *he pauses* Something's wrong I have to... *he attempts getting up, but the pain is too much*
Nurse: *comes in* You are awake. Please, don't get up. *she goes over to him and helps him back into the bed* It is a miracle that you are even alive right now. You lost a lot of blood and the trauma from the hit must be affecting you.
Andrew: *Feels the strength he needs to rescue the one he loves. He begins to remove the bandages*
Nurse: Please sir, you have to keep that so that the wound can hea... *she gasps as the bandages fall down and the cut is already healed.* But... but...
Andrew: Where is my armor?
Nurse: *is at a loss for words and just points to the chair in the corner of the room.*
Andrew: *gets up and begins to put the armor on.* I'm coming my love.
~*~*~*~*
The Senshi are floating around the universe and can feel power slowly coming into them. They happily dance around the newly remodeled planet. In the open area that was once there, the girls have created a beautiful palace with their newfound power.
Red: *sits on the throne* I think I deserve this position… now bow down before me-all of you!
Green: Look, I know I'm the pacifist here, but please just get down from there before we argue about it.
Blue: We don't have to listen to you, you know.
Red: *becomes enraged and a fireball forms in her hand* What did you say?
Blue: I mean, um, yes your majesty. *she bows and then grins, sending water at her and extinguishing the flame*
Red: *Is completely drenched and watches as all the other laugh* You! You!
~*~*~*~*
Andrew: *Is flying throughout the universe looking for some kind of trace of Serene. He feels something faint and flies down to an asteroid* Serene?! Where are you? *he hears the faint cry of a little girl nearby.* Excuse me, have you happened to see my wife? *He looks at the strange little girl, who is different from everyone else in the galaxy-she has whiter than white skin.*
