Chapter 5: Enemy Revealed, Senshi Are needed.

It was around mid-afternoon, and Merle was dragging Hitomi and Usagi, down the streets of Fanalia. The reason being, that she was giving them a tour of the city and she was pepped up on too much sugar. Not only was she giving them a tour but she was practically forcing them to shop with her. Neither Usagi nor Hitomi had minded at first, but now they were regretting letting her drag them around the city. By the time they got back to the castle both Usagi and Hitomi were so out of breathe that they both collapsed to the floor panting.

"Now wasn't that fun?" asked Merle. Both of them were so tired that all they could do was nod. They of course weren't going to say anything of the negative, not wanting to piss their feline friend off. Just as Hitomi was starting to breath evenly again she was hit by a barrage of images.

{Hitomi was standing on one of the Balconies in the palace. As she looked around she noticed it was the balcony at was outside her room. Looking out towards the fields she saw something in the distance. As she watched it became bigger and the sky darker. She watched as the Fanalian army went out to meet the mass of darkness. Just as the battle began her vision ended.}

Hitomi was left breathless once more as she looked around her. After a moment or two, she regained her voice and spoke up getting Merle and Usagi's attention.

"Guys we have to find Van and the others right now," she said.

"Why?" asked Usagi and Merle at the same time.

"I just had a vision and it wasn't good,” She said beginning to explain, “There's an army of some sort heading this way and they're going to attack Fanalia soon. We have to warn them now!" After almost shouting this to them, She ran off down the hall in search of Van.

"Usagi why don't go to the training yard, if I'm right you'll find Allen and Endymion-sama there. Tell them what Hitomi told us," said Merle.

"Ok, but what about you?" Usagi asked.

"I'm going to go find the Generals," merle replied as she ran up the stairs.

Usagi turned and went in the direction she thought the training area was in. As she got closer she heard the clashing sound of swords and knew she was going in the right direction. Running out into the open air of the training ground, she saw Endymion and a man she didn't know, but assumed was Allen. He hadn't been present at breakfast, but right now that didn't matter 'Merle was right they are here,' she thought as she caught her breath.

"Allen, Endymion," she called out. They turned to see who called to them, and saw a very distressed looking Usagi coming towards them.

"Usagi is there something wrong," asked Endymion kindly.

Usagi stopped before them trying to calm down as she relayed what had happened. "Yes Hitomi just had a vision, and she said that Fanalia will be under attack soon. After that she ran off to find Van, while I was told to find you both and Merle went to find the generals," explained Usagi.

"This is serious we must go to van right now," said Allen as he ran off.

"You better come too," said Endymion as he grabbed Usagi's hand and started to run in the same Direction as Allen. Unknown to him a small blush had formed on Usagi's cheeks. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~With Merle~

Merle ran upstairs and turned left running down the hall towards one of the rooms. 'Please let them be there,' she thought as she stopped at a door and strained her ears to listen. Sure enough she heard muffled sounds coming from behind the door and that was all she needed. She burst through the door yelling out to the people within.

"Kunzite, Nephrite, Zoisite, Jadeite, hurry Hitomi just had a vision that said we would be under attack soon," she said. “We need to go to Van-sama's study. Immediately they moved into action, running out the door and heading down the hall towards Van's study. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~With Hitomi~

Hitomi ran down the hall and then up a smaller set of stairs leading into another all. Running down this hall she went straight for a specific set of doors. She practically rammed her body into the doors, falling to her hands and knees as she tried to catch her breath. In front of her was a stunned Van and Dilandau who had been going over the results of the last battle.

"Hitomi!" Van exclaimed as he stood from his seat and ran over to her. Lifting her into a sitting position he let her rest against him as she tried to regain her breathing.

"Van... an enemy... is coming," she panted out.

"What?" he asked. She took a deep breath steadying herself, before she began to speak again.

"I had a Vision and in it Fanalia was under attack, and the sky went dark," she said. Just as she finished relaying this information, a huge gust of wind blew in from the window. The wind scattered the papers on Van's desk all over. They all looked out the window to see the sky start to darken. A few minutes later everyone was in Van's study discussing what they were going to do. Once everything was decided, they all set out to their posts or to get ready for the upcoming battle. Usagi, Hitomi, and Merle went to the infirmary, getting ready to care for the wounded. Van, Allen and Dilandau went to rally the soldiers, and Endymion and the generals went to prepare for battle. Soon Van, Allen, Dilandau, Endymion, the generals, and the soldiers were outside the city awaiting the enemy army. They all watched as the sky continued to darken and a mass of darkness began to make its way over the hill tops. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~Back on earth~

Luna and Artemis, Usagi's cats, were currently napping on her bed. Suddenly Luna's head snapped up her eyes slightly wide, before narrowing in contemplation. Turning to Artemis she nudged him, getting his attention.

"Artemis do you feel that?" she asked him as she stared out the window as if seeing something that wasn't there before.

"Yes." He replied, now fully awake.

"I think that it's time to wake up the senshi," she told him in a serious tone as she stood and jumped up to the window.

"What!?" Artemis exclaimed. He followed after her, helping to open the window.

"I know that they are living their lives as normal teenagers and I hate to do this, but if we don't awaken them then the Negaverse will surely win," Luna said as she hopped out the window and into the tree. "Well are you coming or not?" She asked him. Artemis hesitated at first, but he jumped in to the tree and followed Luna. Together they climbed down the tree and ran off down street until they came to a small park. When they got there, they found a secluded spot and began to concentrate. The crescents on the foreheads glowed momentarily before they both disappeared. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~Rei's Temple~

Rei was sitting in front of the great fire gasping for breath, for she had just had a vision. 'That vision,' she thought, 'I've had it before but I just don't know what it means.' Composing herself, she sat in front of the fire deep in thought until a voice broke through the silence.

"There you are Rei," said her grandfather as he entered the room.

"Grandfather, what do you want?" She asked, turning to look at him.

"There's some girls out front looking for you, I think they're friends of yours," he replied.

"Ok, thanks. I'll be out in a minute," she replied in return. She sighed as she watched her grandfather leave the room, closing the sliding door behind him. "I can't tell them about this vision, not yet at least. I just don't want them to worry," she said to herself quietly as she looked back into the fire. 'Sacred fire, please help me to better understand my vision,' she thought in silent prayer as she bowed to the sacred fire and then left to greet her friends.
