The water was a cool and refreshing on this hot summer day. Surprisingly though, no many people seemed to be interested in swimming. Then again this was the nature dome, not many came to here in the first place. Yawing some Ren leaned back on her hands as she watched Lorette and Damien have a splash war in the small man-made lake.

“Ren, come on in! It’s great!” Lorette called as she stopped splashing Damien, though he only took that as a chance to splash her some more.

“No, I’m good.” Ren called back with a smile. She wasn’t a fan of swimming in anything other than a pool.

“Oh come on!” Lorette called as she began to make her way towards Ren, while making sure Damien didn’t try anything.

“No, no, no! I’m good really!” Ren said as she pulled her legs out of the water, her silver eyes watching her friend closely.

Lorette and Damien stood on the shoreline of the lake looking at Ren. There seemed to be this mischievous look in their eyes. Backing up some Ren got ready to run. Though sadly she didn’t react fast enough, cause Damien reacted faster. Picking her up he turned back to the water and throw her down into the deeper part.

Returning to her feet, and being able to breath once again, Ren’s eyes glared daggers towards Damien. “You shall regret that.” Ren muttered as she went to start walking, only to have Lorette jump on her.

“Come on, let’s just have fun.” Lorette said through some laughs.
Ren struggling to hold Lorette as her feet sunk into the mud of the lake bed. “Okay okay! If you get off of me, before I become a permanent part of this lake.” Ren said as she tried to hold back a laugh.

Lorette laughed as she got off Ren’s back. Damien making his way over to the girls. Ren glaring at him for a moment before she smirked and tackled Damien, sending him down into the water. Laughing Lorette hurried over to help Ren in the ‘torture’ of Damien.

The three continued to enjoy the water and each others company as the day went on, and soon found themselves crawling out of the water as the sun set behind the trees. Another day passing as the street lights started to light.

Dripping from the water the group started to make their way from the nature dome. Laughing and smiling the trio made their way down the sidewalk. People were closing up shops and starting to make their ways home.

“It was nice to finally have a day to just relax.” Lorette said as she walking in between Ren and Damien.

“Well you should’ve been training but you both refused to listen to me.” Damien said, his ‘I’m the boss’ voice coming out.

“Yes, and if we did what you want every time, Lorette and I would die of being overworked. I swear you’re worse than Mr. Wickerson!” Ren said as she smiled towards Damien, Lorette could be heard trying to hold back a giggle.

Narrowing his eyes Damien glared down at Ren for a moment before he smiled and shook his head. “Fine maybe I should stop training you, and let those people out there kill you two.” he said as he looked to Ren with a face that spoke, I won.

“We would be so lucky.” Ren teased as the wind blew gently, causing the three to shiver.

“Let’s just get home, it’s cold.” Lorette said as she shivered some more.

Damien smirked some as he placed a arm around her, “I could fix that.” he said as he winked down to Lorette.

Elbowing him in the side she glared up at him. “Thanks but I’ll pass.” she spoke removed his arm from around her and moving closer to Ren. “Will you be staying  the night again?” Lorette asked as she turned her attention to Ren.

Ren smiled softly she took Lorette’s arm in hers and walked beside her. “Of course! Just let me feed the dogs and get some clothing.” she replied softly as they walked down the street, that was slowly starting to get empty.

Talking and laughing the trio continued to make their way to Ren’s place. Not paying attention the group almost ran a girl over with grayish blue hair. The girl looks startled but she didn’t seem angry. Though there was also a little red cat that seemed to be standing in shock as if it had saw a ghost.

“We’re so sorry!” Ren said as Damien leaned down and helped the girl up.

“It’s alright, I wasn’t paying attention either.” the girl said as she smiled softly to Damien in thanks. The cat quickly began to paw at the girls leg. “But, I got to get going!” she added as she and the cat took off down the street.

The group watched as the girl took off. Standing there for a moment they began to make their way to Ren’s place once again.



Finally arriving at Ren’s house she hurried up to the front door and unlocked it. The dogs barked and yipped at her as they looked to Lorette and Damien. The dogs pushed passed Ren and tackled Damien.

“They seem to really like you.” Ren said as she made her way into the house, allowing her dogs to lick Damien to death if they wished.

Lorette followed Ren into the house as Damien fought the dogs off of him and rushed into the house before they could knock him to the ground once again.

Grabbing a bag Ren placed her clothes into the bag before she headed back downstairs to feed the dogs. As the food fell into the bowls the dogs quickly left Damien to dive into their food. “You guys behave while I’m gone.” she said as she gently pet the top of their heads each before returning to Lorette and Damien.

Damien took the bag from Ren, carrying it for her. Smiling softly they made their way out the door, now heading to Lorette’s for the night.



The sun shined brightly, no clouds in the sky. Ren and Lorette were both already up and making breakfast. Well, Lorette was helping Ren. Giggling and talking the two girls made a large breakfast. Lorette set the table, and placed the food on it as Ren finished cooking it. Pancakes, bacon, hash browns, eggs, and toast. It didn’t take long before Damien and Balar joined them in the kitchen.

“Morning!” Lorette chimed as the two boys sat down at the table. Ren pulling out the milk and orange juice.

“Must you be so loud?” Balar grunted as he yawned, his eyes still looking heavy.
“Well aren’t you in a lovely mood.” Ren said as she placed the drinks down before she and Lorette too, sat down at the table.

Glaring at Ren, Balar began to pile food onto his plate. The others soon following him.

Now all eating and talking amongst themselves, Lorette’s parents finally joined them. Sitting down at the table, they placed food onto their plates, and began to eat, as they enjoyed the company of their children.

As they finished Lorette and Ren placed their dishes into the sink and hurried off about to Lorette’s bedroom to change.

“It’s been quite here recently. No sign of that Litonya girl.” Lorette said as they finished dressing.

“Yes, it just doesn’t feel right. Something’s going to happen.” Ren spoke softly as they walked out of the bedroom and started out the door. “Maybe we should look around.” she added softly as they made their way, away from the house.

“Hey! Wait!” Damien’s voice called from behind them as he rushed over to the girls. “Where are you two going?”

“We’re just going for a walk around town.” Lorette said as she looked up at Damien, a annoyed look on his face.

“Well you could’ve informed me.” he said as he acted as if he was hurt by them not telling him.

Laughing softly Ren shook her head some, her silver eyes looking up at Damien, “Find next time, I promise, we’ll tell you everything.” she said with a small smile.

Damien glared playfully at Ren before he smiled and threw his arm over the girls shoulder, causing them to start to walk a little faster. “Well then, let’s walk.” he said with one of his silly smiles.

“So Damien, do you know anything about this Litonya character, or anything.” Lorette asked as her eyes skimmed over the cities sidewalks and alleyways.

“No. I’ve never heard of her before. I’m afraid I’ll be no help with this one.” Damien spoke, his voice growing low as he looked ahead of them, guiding the girls from running into anyone.

“This one?” Ren questioned as she too, continued to keep her eye out for Litonya, or anything that might look suspicious.

“Uh…Nothing.” Damien spoke quickly as his eyes widen slightly. “Let’s just focus on Litonya and the things she’s after.” he added quickly.

Shaking her head some Ren didn’t speak as the trio continued their walk around the city.

The sun sat high in the middle of the sky as the trio came to a pause near one of the food shopping strips. All three felt tired, hungry, and slightly disappointed. Wondering around the many different shops, they made their way into one of the shops most famous for their burgers.

Finding a table the trio sat down as a waiter made his way over to them, quickly taking their order.

“I can’t believe we didn’t see anything. All morning and there was no sign of anything.” Lorette muttered as the waiter brought their drinks to the table.

Sighing softly Ren nodded her head some as she took a sip of her drink.

“You didn’t really think it was going to be that simple, did you?” Damien said as he looked from one girl to the next.

“No but we hoped we’d find something.” Lorette said as she rested her head on her arms.

They sat in silence til the food came. Digging into their food, they’d speak on occasion, not talking about anything important really. Lorette talking about some marathon of UGO that shall be running that weekend, while Ren talked about some singing auditions that were coming.

Once they finished their food, they paid and left the shop. Stepping out onto the sidewalk they stood there for a moment looking around.

“Maybe we should split up and met back at Le Golden Café.” Ren said as she looked to Lorette.

“Sounds good, that way we’d have more area covered, and if one misses something another might catch.” Lorette said as she smiled.

“Fine.” Damien grunted, he really didn’t think they should be looking for Litonya.

Going off in different directions Lorette and Ren took off running, wanting to cover as much grounds as possible, while Damien just slowly walked.

Ren kept her eyes out for anything that might catch her attention. But as she continued to run, nothing. Nothing. This just seemed to strange. She was up to so much, and no she doesn’t seem to be trying to do anything? Slowly coming to a walk she continued to look over the streets hoping to see something. The longer she wondered the less she felt like she was going to find anything. Thinking about how she was most likely going to be the last one to show at the café she took off running again. Though this time she wasn’t paying to much attention and she crashed into someone.

“I’m soo sorry!” she cried out as she picked herself off the sidewalk, her eyes looking up to the person now white shirt, brown from coffee. “Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry!!!” she almost yelled as she pulled out a handkerchief and began to try and dry off the man.

Tightly gripping her hand he pushed her back from him some. With no words her turned and just walked away.

“I’m sorry…” she muttered as she watched the dark haired man disappear in the crowd of people on the street.

Standing there a moment she took off again, this time making sure not to run into anyone. She hurried down the sidewalk. Now not paying to much attention to the others around her, just trying to get to the café. Rushing up to the café she could see Damien waiting outside the door.

“Took you long enough!” Damien said as Ren tried to catch her breath. “Lorette’s inside. She wanted to grab us a table.” he added as he held the door open for Ren.

Walking inside the two of them made their way over to Lorette, who had grabbed the most alone table in the café, off in it’s own corner.

“So any luck?” Lorette asked as Ren sat down beside her.

“No, there was nothing.” Ren answered as Damien sat down across from them.

“Told you.” he muttered as he crossed his arms and sat back in his chair.

Glaring towards Damien the girls ignored him as they continued to talk about whatever came to mind. Some of their conversation going back to what they had been talking about at lunch, while other times talking about Litonya again. They were still upset that they hadn’t found her. Which honestly did make sense, why would she be out in the open?

Interrupting the girls Damien stood from his chair. “Would either of your like something to drink?” he asked as he went to pull his wallet from his back pocket.

“No, no, no! You paid for lunch! I’ll take care of this!” Ren said as she stood, and gently pushed Damien back into his chair.

“Well you know what I like!” Lorette said with a smile.

Damien only nodded some, not liking a girl buying him a drink.

“Okay, I’ll be right back. You two love birds have fun.” Ren teased as she hurried off before Lorette could react.

It was a busy day in the café, something she wasn’t use to. Then again it could have been cause it was the evening when most were getting off work, and just wanted to relax. Walking up into the line she went to pull out her small coin purse, though it held more than just coins.

“Oh no, not you again.” a deep voice almost grunted cause Ren to look up.

Her eyes widen slightly as nervous laughter slipped from her before she could even think. Her silver eyes looked up to the man she had ran into on the street.

“I am really sorry about before…Really.” she said softly, her nerves starting to get the better of her.

The man didn’t reply, he actually seemed like he didn’t even hear her.

Growing more and more nervous she began to bite down on her bottom lip. Half of her was tempted to just go back to the table with Lorette and Damien, but the other half told her to just man up and stay in line. The two stood in silence as everyone around them chatted and talked loudly.

“I can buy you a new shirt.” she spoke as her eyes looked at the large brown stain on that could still be seen on the mans shirt.

“It’s just a shirt.” he replied his green eyes looking down at her. Oddly enough she never noticed til now, that it almost seemed as if they were glowing.

Standing in silence once again the line moved up again, now the man was the one ordering, meaning Ren would be next. As the cashier brought him his dtink Ren heard Lorette call her name. Looking back Ren could see Lorette motioning for her to come as she and Damien rushed out the door. Hearing the cashier tell the man how much for his coffee she quickly turned around pulling money from her coin purse and passing it to the cashier.

“I’ll cover his.” she spoke without looking at the man. “And you can’t argue with me, cause I got to go.” she added as she glanced up at the man one last time before she hurried out the café.

As soon as she walked out, her arm was grabbed and she was being pulled down the sidewalk.

“Litonya was outside the café. She was just standing there looking at it. Once Damien and I walked out, she took off towards the old mines.” Lorette said over her shoulder as the trio rushed down the street.

Less and less people started to fill the street. The closer they got to the old mines, the less busy everything was. They knew no one liked to go near the old mines cause they’re still known to have problems, and some say toxic gasses.

Slowly the began to walk as they came to the old mines. Their eyes looking over everything trying to spot Litonya.

“So I was right. You two are these, what do you call yourselves…Senshi?” a voice came from behind the trio.

Turning quickly the three came face to face with Litonya. A smirk was placed on her lips as she watched them closely. She almost looked as if everything was what she wanted, which only made them feel uneasy.

“Knowing this, it’ll be real easy to defeat you pests now.” she hissed as she raised her hands beginning to channel some dark energy.

Damien reacted faster than either of the girls. His sword quickly appearing in his hands as he went for Litonya, causing her to stop channeling her magic and dodge him.

“Transform!” he yelled to Lorette and Ren as he continued to charge head long at Litonya, just trying to keep her distracted.

Quickly pulling their lockets out the two transformed. Litonya not being able to stop them thanks to Damien. The angry in her eyes only glowing brighter as she began to truly fight back against Damien. Sailor Sapphire quickly casted her flames towards Litonya, though she easily dodged the flames while casting her own spell towards Damien. Sailor Moonstone summoned her chakrams and charged towards Litonya.

“Please tell me your joking.” Litonya spat as she sent a dark bolt towards Moonstone, it barely grazing her cheek. “Do you three really think you have a change?” she spat as she made a swift motion, causing a large blast to push the three back a few feet.

The trio’s only reply was to start their attacks on her again. The battle seemed to take forever and yet at the same time seemed to be coming to a end quickly. Blue flames and dark energy flew through the air as blades swung and sliced. Growing tired the trio held as strong as they could. Damien standing in front of Sapphire like a guard. Small cuts could be seen on Damien and Moonstones body where Litonya was able to get them from time to time. Sapphire didn’t seem to have any wounds, though she looked extremely drained.

“Time to end this.” Litonya muttered as she opened  her arms wide as dark energy surround them the trio.

Damien quickly moved guarding Sapphire from the dark energy, that crackled and hissed as it began to cause a searing pain to overtake them. Moonstone already started to cry out in pain as Damien gritted his teeth together.

A voice could be heard off in the distance a little, though no one could understand what was said. The suddenly Litonya cried out in pain, the energy walls fading from around the trio. Slowly getting to their feet, their eyes landed on a female, that stood off in the distance some. The female casted another spell, Sapphire right with her. Damien stood back as he had felt to weak to charge in this time. Moonstone quickly put away her chakrams and summoned the white crystal from her locket. Her body taking over as she held it out, a light shining from it to Litonya. Another scream filled the air as the woman named Litonya disappeared before their eyes.

Standing in silence for a moment they all stared in the direction Litonya had been. The female moving closer to the trio. Damien moved in front of Sapphire as he watched the mysterious female closely. Moonstone watched the female as well as her crystal disappeared back into her locket.

“Who are you?” Moonstone spoke at the female cane to a stop. A red cat moving out from behind her, which looked oddly familiar.

“I’m Sailor Opalium. I’ve been looking for you.” she said softly with a smile.

Lowering his weapon Damien sighed with relief. Looking down at the cat he smiled some. “It’s been a while, Garnet.” he spoke as Sapphire moved out from behind him.

The cat seemed to smile, and return before their eyes, turned into a young girl. “Yes, it has.” she spoke with a small giggle.

“So you’re another senshi, and that’s your guardian.” Moonstone said as she seemed a little in shock.

“I told you there would be others.” Damien said as he looked back at Moonstone and then to the new senshi and Garnet.

“Well, glad to finally have someone else!” Sapphire spoke as she smiled towards Opalium.

“I’m glad to have finally found you.” Opalium replied softly.

Moving closer Moonstone returned to her civil state, Sapphire right behind her and soon Opalium followed. Once they all were back in their normal forms their eyes widen.

“You?” they all said as they stared at each other.

“You’re the girl we ran into earlier!” Lorette said as she almost laughed.

“Interesting.” Ren said as she smiled. “Well, allow me to introduce us.” she added as she looked to Lorette, “She’s Lorette, this silly boy is Damien, and I’m Ren.” she said as Damien glared playfully at her.

“I’m Opal.” the new girl said as she looked to Garnet and then back to the trio. “And she’s Garnet.” she added softly.

“Well, welcome to the team Opal!” Lorette said as they began to make their way away from the old mines.

“So do you know anything about the enemy?” Ren asked as she looked to Opal and then Garnet.

“No, I actually hadn’t come across any enemy til today.” she answered softly, “Garnet said she didn’t know about there even being a enemy her.”

“Yeah Damien says he doesn’t know anything either.” Lorette said softly as they sun began to set behind them.

“Like how they’re talking for us.” Damien muttered as he looked down to Garnet.

Garnet giggled softly as she shook her head some, “Same ole’ Damien.”

Ignoring the talking behind them Ren looked to the two girls beside her. “Well, even though we still know nothing of our enemy, at least we’re together. And we have you to thanks Opal. We wouldn’t have been able to defeat Litonya, if it wasn’t for you.” she spoke as she smiled softly.

Opal’s cheeks stained a soft pink as she smiled softly.

The new group slowly made their way back into the city, not knowing what next awaited them…
