~ Part 4: Who Is That Masked Man? ~
"So how many of them are there?" a calm, but angered shadow asked.
"My Queen," a smaller shadow bowed before the larger one, "We believe there are eight."
"And eight too many!" the Queen growled. "The Sailor Senshi of the future were bad enough. I've finally defeated them all to find that the puny Sailor Antares managed to escape. Now she's running around trying to fulfill some ancient Moon Kingdom prophecy.
"At first I thought it to be nothing more than a legend, a myth. But as it turns out the, Zodiac Senshi are all too real. They only have four more senshi to find before they can return to the future. Do not allow them to succeed!"
~oO Oo~
"So anyway, Antares wants us to do some research to see if we can find were these monsters are coming from." Rachel said between bites of pizza and gulps of Pepsi. She was eating lunch with Mica in the mall after an extensive shopping spree.
"Well were do we start?" Mica asked nonchalantly.
"Hmm... I have no idea. You know, right before the monsters attacked, I saw a new apartment building that I'd never seen before. I just wrote it off as a really quick construction job, but now..." Rachel's uncertain voice trailed off.
"Then we should check it out!" Mica exclaimed.
"How?"
"Why don't you stay over night at my house and we can go check it out from there. It's not that far from my house; we can probably sneak out at night."
~oO Oo~
At exactly midnight, Rachel and Mica, in Libra and Virgo morph, sneaked out of the house according to plan. Trying hard not to be too conspicuous, although two sixteen year olds in sailor costumes wandering around in the middle of the night was hardly inconspicuous, they made their way to the 'Dark Star Apartments'. Virgo pulled out a bobby pin and unlocked the front door. "Hmph. Not too afraid of thieves, are they?" she whispered to Libra.
Slowly and cautiously, the pair made their way to the computer room. "A computer room? In an apartment complex?" Libra whispered to Virgo. Virgo nodded uncertainly. It was then that they noticed someone at a computer in the back of the room. "Get down!" Virgo whispered anxiously to Libra.
The dark shadow at the back of the room muttered to himself in a deep voice. "Chikusho!" he exclaimed in a frustrated tone. He continued typing away.
"That was Japanese. 'Chikusho' means 'damn it' I think," Libra whispered to Virgo.
Suddenly, the man stopped typing. "Who's there?" he asked in his deep voice, laced with a noticeable Japanese accent. He got up and stepped forward into the light being let in by a large bay window. He wore a very nice tuxedo and a white eye mask. His hair was fairly long for a young man's; about shoulder length.
"Oh my god he's sexy!" Virgo squealed in spite of herself. Libra noticed that the young man had turned a few shades redder.
"Who's there?" he asked again, although this time more gently.
"Hello!" Virgo giggled as she stood up. "I'm Sailor Virgo, and this," she said, pulling Libra up by the arm, "is my friend Sailor Libra."
"Umm... konbonwa!" Libra squeaked. Why do I always get so giggly around guys? Libra asked herself.
"Hey I know you!" Virgo said happily. "You're Sota, the Japanese exchange student!"
"And you," he replied, "are Mica, the crazy choir girl."
"Yup!"
"Please not so loud, they'll hear you." Sota whispered.
"Who are 'they' anyway?" Libra asked, regaining her composure.
"I'm not sure. Is that why you two came here?"
"Yes," the girls replied in unison.
"What I have been able to find, though, will help us tremendously. Since it appears we are on the same side, I do not think there is much for either of us to worry about. It seems they come from the future, and wish to control the universe. They have come back to this time to find and destroy the Zodiac Senshi, which are the only thing that stands in their way." Sota's speech was marked with momentary pauses and mispronounced words, but entrancing to the girls nonetheless.
"Great, we're the only thing standing between an evil empire and world domination," Virgo stated somberly.
"Who's there!"
Three heads turned, looked at each other, and then fled out the first floor window as a portly old security guard made his way into the room.
"I think we should call it a night," Rachel said to Mica as she de-morphed. When they were done, they noticed Sota was about as red as an apple.
"What's wrong?" Mica asked him.
"You know that when you do that, you are not wearing any clothes?" He replied, looking at the ground and braced as if he were about to be slapped.
Mica was the first to recover. "So? You think I'm sexy?" she teased. Sota turned even redder.
"I think it's time to go." Rachel growled to Mica as she pulled the girl away from the thoroughly embarrassed boy.
"So how many of them are there?" a calm, but angered shadow asked.
"My Queen," a smaller shadow bowed before the larger one, "We believe there are eight."
