Sailor Moon Mistics: # 1 - The Legend Told By: Pyrite Official Webpage: http://sailormistics.bravehost.com/index.html Author's Notes: "" - Talking outloud '' - Thinking ** - Flashback * * * * * * * * * The night sky was lit up with a thousand stars, somewhere out there in the massive universe lay the galaxy of Lexa. Within that galaxy was a planet, a once beautiful and glorious planet known as Crystalia. Luna's eyes caught the sparkle of one particularly bright star. She could feel an evil power approach Earth. It just seemed that they had defeated Nehelenia. She wondered if Artemis was feeling the same thing. Several miles away Artemis lay beside Minako's bed while glancing out the window. 'Crystalia.' The word echoed in his mind. The planet had once been at the center of the Lexa galaxy and had been one of those who had allied with Queen Serenity. There had been five queens, five domains, and five princesses who were guardians of the planet. When the Silver Millenium was still in it's infancy the queen had traveled and met with the queens of Crystalia. They all had formed an alliance but none was more stronger than that of Genga who was the queen of Death Domain. Genga felt a strong connection with Serenity and she had felt the same way. He knew this because Luna and himself were there. The queen had visited Genga many times before Crystalia's demise and had formed a strong relationship with Genga's daughter, Pyrite. Artemis knew that one day the Sailor Mistics would be reborn...at least four of them. Pyrite was still on the planet waiting for her team mates to bring her to Earth. He could feel the evil nearing the planet and knew that it was time to reveal the story of the Sailor Mistics to the Sailor Senshi. It was imperative. * * * * * * * * * "But Luna," Usagi whined, "why do we have to have a meeting? Haven't we defeated enough evil yet?" "Stop being selfish Usagi. We have more than enough enemies to deal with." Luna replied in an angry tone. "There are things we must discuss." Usagi followed the black cat to Rei's temple, their usual meeting place, as she huffed slightly. "Hi Usagi!" Minako shouted as she waved at her. "Hi Minako!" Usagi waved back as they joined up with Artemis and Minako. "Why are we meeting again?" Minako asked Artemis as they walked up to the shrine. "We have some things to discuss with you." Artemis replied. "And they concern the Sailor Senshi." Luna added. Luna and Artemis waited patiently as the rest of the Sailor Senshi gathered to meet with them. This would be more important than any other mission that they had faced together. It had been too long since the Guardian of Death had been put in her cryogenic stasis. She needed to be woken up by her group, but first they had to find the other guardians. When all of the Sailor Senshi had assembled, Luna and Artemis began, "We have called you here because you are needed again. Not by the people of Earth but by your fellow senshi." "Is it Neptune or Uranus?" Makoto interrupted. "No. These are different senshi. You would not remember them because they lived in a different galaxy from us, however, Queen Serenity knew them and was very close to them at one time." Luna replied. "The Mistic Senshi originate from the galaxy Lexa on a planet named Crystalia. There are five like you but they do differ greatly. They are stronger than even the outer senshi of Earth. Now, however, they are divided and do not remember who they are. You see a thousand years ago their planet was attacked and their leader had to send them here. The leader is still on the planet while the other four are here." Artemis explained. "I do not understand. If they are more powerful than us, what could have caused them to lose their planet?" Ami questioned the cats. "We still do not fully know the entire story behind Crystalia's fall. However, we will tell you what we know." Luna said as she begun telling the story. ** There were screams as pillars of crystal quartz fell around the palace. Kari and Eva dashed towards the courtyard to join with Katie and Rare. "Where is Death-sama?!" Kari cried out as they met. "She can take care of herself." Rare said as she held up her hand, "Hurry and transform!" "Flare Crystal Power!" "Soul Crystal Power!" "Terra Crystal Power!" "Blizzard Crystal Power!" The newly transformed Mistic Senshi stood as they searched for their leader. Along the way they helped citizens who were trapped under the rubble. 'Death-sama, please be okay!' Kari thought to herself as she hurried to the courtyard. She heard more screams as she saw Mera make her way towards them. People were be blasted away which angered the senshi of light more than ever. Kari then saw Sailor Crystal Death run up towards them to join the fight. "Alright guardians. It is time to show her how we protect our planet." "Right!" The other four agreed. Death raised her scythe and screamed "Death Scythe Slash!" ** "So what happened after that?" Makoto question the two cats. "The five queens gave Sailor Crystal Death enough power to perform Death Reborn. Once she did that sent their people to Earth so they could be reborn. The queens unfortunately died while Death stayed behind due to the power drain. She is currently in cryogenic stasis on her planet." Artemis replied. "So we have to find them? Why?" Rei interrupted. "Because their enemy is coming to Earth and they are the only ones strong enough to face off against her." Luna told the senshi of fire. "Then it is settled." Usagi intervened. "We have to find them." "But where do we begin?" Minako asked. "Ami, you have a locator on your computer. You should be able to track them with that." Luna told Ami as she looked at her computer. Ami nodded. "Right. I will track the first Mistic senshi tonight then we can go tomorrow and look for her." "Right!" Everyone agreed. Next episode: Blizzard's Fury!
