CHAPTER 1- They've already awakened

Kunzite sat in the library flipping through books on Metallia.His grey eyes scanned through pages for possible information that could be used. The door opened and Zoicite, the youngest of the four generals walked in carrying some drinks for the two of them. Kunzite made no movement to greet the youngest general.

Zoicite set the tray down and glanced at the cold general or dubbed by Jadeite ''Ice King''.

'"Well?''

Kunzite asked without looking up.'' Nephrite and I thought you might be hungry so we made some drinks and biscuits while you're working" Zoicite said putting the tray down. Kunzite still engrossed in his book tasted the 'drinks' made by his two comrades. Kunzite took a sip and his grey eyes widened in disgust and spat '' Yuck! Geez Zoicite what are trying to do poison me!!?" Kunzite glared angrily at the younger man. Zoicite ''Hey it's my first time making lemonade! It's better than the stuff you feed us when you cook" Zoicite said proudly. Kunzite making a mental note that Zoicite would pay for trying to poison him with his 'lemonade' returned to his work.

Zoicite looked at Kunzite's books and shook his head worriedly; Kunzite still went through the books not taking any notice of the younger man staring at him worriedly. ''You can stop giving me that look because it's not going to work" Kunzite said re-underling his research for the 50th time.

"You can't keep going on like this"

"Yes, I can"

"All of us are worried about you''

"So?"

Zoicite looked at Kunzite with pity; ever since they're return Kunzite had been desperately trying to get in Mina's good graces and was fighting a losing battle. ''Don't you have some work to do" Kunzite asked Zoicite in a slightly annoyed voice. Zoicite deciding it was better to stay out of the way than to meddle with Kunzite's life left the room pitying his friend.

Tokyo, Juuban Shopping District

The streets of Tokyo were always crowded but strangely the streets were empty and not a soul moved. Nephrite drove his Ferrari on Juuban Shopping District stopping at a signal he stared around and his thoughts drifted away into their return. Nephrite was trying out vacant positions at banks, schools, offices but most of the jobs didn't have much salary. Nephrite really wanted to get away from his job as a high school teacher. All the brats knew to do was to whine and complain how unfair school was. Nephrite smiled slightly they weren't the only ones who complained about life; Zoicite and Jadeite were living example of whiners!

Maybe life wasn't that bad. As Nephrite drove to the mansion lost in his thoughts.

The street was filled with fog and an eerie light began to shine in the middle of Fairview Park. A portal suddenly opened and dark silhouettes stepped out, the group of five suddenly stepped away to let a hooded figure stand. The hooded figure let out a sinister and maniacal laugh. The five joined in with the laughter, the hooded figure stopped "Why do you laugh?" asked the feminine voice. "Uhh… because you did" said the unsure third figure. "And precisely why did I laugh" said the woman. "Because you want to takeover this planet" said the fourth woman. "WRONG" she roared. The five were silent with fear, "FOOLS! I DON'T ONLY WANT TO TAKEOVER THIS MEASLY PLANET!! I WILL BECOME SUPREME RULER OF THIS UNIVERSE AND WEILDER OF THE GOLDEN CRYSTAL AND SILVER CRYSTAL" the woman yelled at her so-called "followers". "B-u--t…. Empress we only came here to takeover Earth, we didn't know you had other plans" said the second figure stuttering. Empress face made no emotion she turned and faced her second follower

"You think I am not able of such power"

"I didn't say you—u we-ere not able t—o"

"I see that you don't have any confidence in me"

"YOU'RE HIGHNESS-"

"Absolutely disappointing Tiran "

Tiran through himself at Empress's feet "I'm sorry…. Please have mercy" he sobbed and begged for forgiveness. "Get-up I have no time for such desperate cases "said Empress in disgust removing her feet from Tiran's hands. " Mir'aka" continued Empress as a violet- haired woman stepped out and bowed "I rely on you to collect life-forces and remember I can only tolerate little failure. Now go" said Empress disappearing with the rest of the followers. Mir'aka smiled evilly and disappeared into the night.
