Brother Unknown: Children, It has been discovered that a book exists on Earth. This book may contain additional clues as to who on Earth holds the Leto Ring. Already, we have lost 2 fine souls in our search, both times due to outside interference a group known as the Sailor Scouts. If we are to succeed, we must cleanse the evil that exists in their bodies. The gods may favor us, but it is meaningless if we don't prove our worth to them by defeating the scouts. As for the book in question, I will send Zoë, as well as a volunteer, to retive it.
While the whole group bickers, all wanting this mission, a single female voice overpowers the voice of all others.
Brother Unknown: Step forward my child.
Walking towards the podium is Shena, with short pink hair and yellow eyes (no whites).
Shena: I will be more the happy to retrieve the book brother.
Brother Unknown: It s honorable of you to volunteer your services for this mission.
You and Zoë will be dispatched immediatly. May the gods support you.Serena: Can you run that by me again, sloooooowly this time?
Amy: (sighs) Alright, one more time.
Story she told: 1000s of years ago, things weren't much different as they were today; it was good vs. evil. 1 particular fighter on the side of good was Master Swain Leto. He was considered the most powerful warrior of his time, only losing one battle; a battle with time. As he grew older, evil forces grew more aggressive until finally, he could no longer fight. He went into hiding where he created the Leto Ring. When the basic structure of the ring was finished, he stored all his powers into it. He died only minutes later. In his will, he asked that the ring be tossed into free space so that it would be impossible for evil forces to track it down. In a note that was discovered a few years later, it was learned that he would be resurrected once the third RingMaster found his grave. 300 years later, Lazarus Night, a simple soldier of the Moon Kingdom, became the first RingMaster. The ring landed in the middle of a civil war, with one Silvistra being the aggressor, and almost the victor, in this conflict. With Lazarus's discovery of the ring and it's powers, he didn't hesitate to use it to rally the Moon Kingdom from a certain defeat into a stunning victory. Shortly after this event, the purpose of the ring became apparent to Lazarus, and he decided to leave kingdom, now with the sole mission of protecting the ring. Should one with even the slightest hint of darkness in their heart wear the ring, they would go mad and would be capable of anything. Nobody knows where he went, but it is known that the ring was descended through the Night family, who were identifiable by their dark green eyes. While each one were capable of using the ring's powers (they are referred to as Ring Holders), only 3 will be able to use it to it's full potential (the Ring Masters). Lazarus Night was the first RingMaster. It is also known that the ring that Serena has was created by Lazarus, and is could only be used by members of the royal family, those with the purest hearts.
Amy: That's all that is clear to me right now.
Lita: So what this means is that Emerald Night is merely a holder of the ring, and not a master?
Rai: It explains why he can't hold his own for very long against Brother Unknown's forces. From what I have seen, they cannot be mortally wounded, and they heal almost instantly.
Serena: However, that sword Emerald uses has done enough damage each time we saw him.
Mena: Now comes the interesting question... who is he anyway?
Amy: I did notice something weird in the book. There are a lot of empty pages in the back, and in fact, if you look it this page, the book seems to be writing itself.
Everyone took a look and saw perfect writing appear on the page as if somebody was actually writing it.
Amy: It appears as though it is writing the stories of all the ring holder's since Lazarus. This last one holder on the list claimed the ring only 76 years ago, so if I can hang on to the book long enough, we can find out who holds the ring now. (Looks at her watch) Oh, My extra classes are starting in 20 minutes. I have to leave now if I can get there on time. (Gets up) Bye!
Everyone else: See you tomorrow Amy. (After Amy leaves) Serena: I am still trying to find out why she needs them.Shena: That there appears to be the book.
She was looking at a young girl with blue hair enter a building holding a book, that appeared to her as the target.
Zoë: Indeed it is. Shena: Should we go take it now, or...
Zoë: No. We will wait. She will not stay in there long. We can take the book when she leaves.
It was about 2 hours later when she finally came out. Amy was feeling a little tired, so she was heading home. Along the way, she met up with Darien.
Darien: Amy!
Amy: Hi Darien. Where have you been? Serena hasn't seen you since the restaurant.
Darien: I had to go out of town for bit on business. What's been happening?
Just as Amy was going to tell him everything, they bumped into a couple of strangers.
Darien: Hay! Watch where you go...(He saw their whiteless eyes) WHAT THE!!!!
Zoë grabbed him by the shirt and tossed him away like a rag doll. She then turned to Amy, but she was already running in the opposite direction.
Zoë: After her!
Amy looked back to see them closing in on her. She knew that she was helpless against both of them, even if she were Sailor Mercury. Her only hope was that help came quick. It didn't come quick enough, as she was tackled by Shena and the book popped out of her hands. Zoë picked it up.
Zoë: Good, we have the book. Now cleanse this girl before we return to base.
Voice: Nobody will be cleansing anybody.
Zoë and Shena look up to see Tuxedo Mask standing on a tree branch.
Tuxedo Mask: Leave her alone! What has this innocent girl done to you?
Zoë: There is nothing innocent about this girl, buddy! Now why don't you mind your own business?
Tuxedo Mask: Protecting the Earth's people IS my business.
With that said, he fired a rose at Shena, knocking her off of Amy. Amy got up and ran without hesitation.
Zoë: I'll return the book to base, you deal with this rose tossing penguin! (She disappears).
Shena: Your dead Tux Boy! While her arms didn't look all that long, they extended like a rubber band and grabbed his neck and hands. Tuxedo Mask was unable to breath and unable to do anything about it.
Mercury: Charm Aqua Illusion
This threw Shena off balance and loosened her grip on Tuxedo.
Sailor Moon: Moon Crescent Ring Extirpation!
It was all over that quickly. But that didn't stop someone from showing up.
Emerald Night: Where is the book?
Sailor Mercury: You know about it?
Emerald Night: Of course, it was mine! Now where is it?
Sailor Mercury: They have it. We did everything we could to stop them, but...
Emerald Night: That's it then. They have all but won.
He was gone before anyone else can speak. Tuxedo Mask: Who was that guy, and what's with those eyes?
Sailor Mercury: We will explain later.Brother Unknown: Shena is dead because of your irresponsibility Zoë! You left her against all those foes at once and she paid the price with her life! What do you have to say for yourself? What can you say that will diminish my anger?
Zoë: Only that the book will tell us who carries the ring in a few days. I had to bring the book back at all costs and I succeeded. I don't believe that this is defense enough to spare me from punishment, but I feel that it should be considered.
Brother Unknown: Leave me now while I decide your fate.
Zoë: Yes, brother. After the door closed behind her, Brother Unknown could do nothing more then smile, knowing he almost has his dreams fulfilled.
