There Comes a Time

"Did you sense that?" the mysterious man asked. "Yes, a very powerful force of goodness has expelled Chaos. This could be the power we have been searching for," the master replied. "Could the power we seek be on that little blue planet?" the younger man asked. "There is only one way to find out," the older man answered.

Two and a half years have passed since the battle with Galxia. Peace once again had filled the galaxy. The Starlights and their Princess had left to rebuild their home. While Earth's Sailor Soldiers enjoyed their peaceful lives, everyone was happy. Finally the Scouts could focus on their dreams. Amy continued to study to become a doctor. Mina worked on becoming an idol. Lita worked on her dream of owning her own bakery. Rei continued her life as a priestess. And Serena spent her days as a high school student, a best friend, and the best girlfriend for her love, Darien. None were prepared for the new evil that had arrived on Earth.

"What a weak planet," the younger man spoke, "lets just destroy it." "You forget our mission. I can sense the power we've been searching for," the older villain spoke. The younger villain closed his eyes sensing the power he seeked. "I sense it to," he said. "Yes, finally, after all this time we will finally have the ultimate power," the older villain spoke revealing an evil grin. Both villains vanished in a blink of an eye.

"Did you sense that?" Michelle asked her companion. "Yes, a great and powerful evil has arrived," Amara replied. "I guess our time of peace is over now," Michelle responded. Amara gave Michelle a sympathetic look. Both Michelle and Amara were locked in a conversation with their eyes. Trista suddenly interrupted their moment, calling them to come over to her. Amara and Michelle rushed to Trista. "What's wrong?" Amara asked. "It's Hotaru," Trista replied. The three women looked upon Hotaru, who was muttering incoherently. She was lost in a vision. "The light is covered by darkness," Hotaru spoke before collapsing. Trista quickly caught Hotaru. "Hotaru are you alright?" Trista asked. "I will be fine, but darkness is approaching," Hotaru replied, "he has been searching for a long time, and he finally found what he was looking for." "What was he searching for?" Michelle asked. "The person with goodness that lit up the galaxy," Hotaru answered. The Outer Scouts knew that they had to warn the Inner Scouts of the new threat.
