With everyone being so keen on investigating the military, Yuki couldn’t help but feel like she was missing something. She supposed if the cats had been found at a military base, it was likely a piece of this whole puzzle that they should probably look into. Maybe this would also give her a chance to talk with her brother as well.

As the talking cats began to explain about this whole silver crystal business, Yuki tried to wrap her head around what they were saying. Something about a moon kingdom, and that the crystal was actually in seven pieces instead of just one. Apparently they even had an object to help locate these shards. When the Amarissa girl moved to take the object Yuki looked over at the girl. She seemed to be taking on the leader role of this group, and Yuki wasn’t sure how she felt about that. The girl was a bit too serious for her taste if she was being honest. A leader, she felt, needed to be able to inspire and bring together a group. For now though, Yuki remained quiet. She didn’t exactly know Amarissa very well at the moment, so it was probably too early to try and judge the girl.

Keitha was late...again. It was however not her fault this time, it was her dad's. He would just not quit asking questions about the sleep over and then the list of chores he made her do was completely ridiculous. She had a feeling it was mainly because she said it wasn't all that great. Which it really had been, but she honestly couldn't tell her father everything interesting about the sleep over, he'd surely call her new group of friends strange, which if she had to admit they were, but they were starting to grow on her, even Val.

She was walking into the park and saw the gazebo that Amarissa had explained to her where she should go. She sighed with relief at the fact she had not gotten herself lost this time. She was just about to head strait for them when she realized she was still in her regular form, Amarissa hadn't explained if she should come in her regular form or her Senshi Form, she guessed she'd be a dead give away as soon as she started speaking but she figured it just might be better manners to show up Senshi style first.

Keitha hid herself behind a tree momentarily to change forms when she drew a blank, muttering to her self because she couldn't remember the trigger phrase, "What tha bloody hell was it again, what was it tha ca had said?" She wracked her brain trying to remember when it came to her, "Oh right, ahem, Jupiter Power Make-Up." With that there was a soft glow and when she looked down she was in her Sailor Senshi uniform again, also again with none of her piercings or tattoos. She grimaced and came out from behind the tree heading for the gazebo.

When she was in sight and hearing distance she said, "Ello everyone me apologies for me tardiness, I ran into some er parental difficulties."

Luna turns to Sailor Jupiter and takes in her form, the first time the black cat having seen this senshi. She bounded over and looked at her, able to sense the energy within her and smiles a little.

Sailor Jupiter...so happy to have you here." she says calmly, then watching as Amarissa ended up taking the wand. The female cat approaches the others again. "Thank you everyone for answering the call of your celestial bodies...I am willing to share any knowledge I can." When Sophia asked about how long it would take to find the shards, the black cat shook her head.

"I can't say...the Queen using the Silver Crystal that way is unprecedented..." she says feeling frustrated that she didn't have a better answer.


Meanwhile, Valdis would space out as a vision crossed her eyes.

A man with blue hair, with a black suit

The feeling of overwhelming success in his field, starting from a absurdly young age

A secret that none may ever know

Tall skyscrapers, rising into the sky.

”…its like a big bottle brush…”

Valdis was commenting on the cats tail as she unfolded herself and poked it.

”Obviously someone who lived in that timeline who had the ability to go back in time to alter it. And it obviously was also someone who didn’t quite get their way in that timeline as well, why else would they have gone back.”

That truly sounded like a dumb question to ask….wasn’t it obvious? Silly cats….she suppose those small heads couldn’t hold very large brains. She would have to give them some slack in that matter. But really here she was talking about alternate timelines and talking about what should have been and these fur balls couldn’t keep up. We’re these really suppose to advise the Senshi?

Her attention shifted to Kail who surprisingly landed on something that seem to strike a memory within the felines. She remained quiet listening to the small otherworld history lesson, her eyes glanced over at Kail…hopefully he would record this later, maybe he could create a story out of this. It seemed like an epic beginning of a long story. Then when the subject of the Queen came up Valdis glanced over at Sophia…that act alone giving enemies a second chance had Sophia written all over it. Sadly as this history lesson was teaching us that action obviously didn’t work for the long run.

When Ama spoke Valdis laughed, the images the cages brought were funny…at least to her. She raised her hand and spoke.

”They tried a cage on me once, it didn’t work. But as for the split personas here, may I suggest that next time perhaps we find a more private place to meet? Other than in the middle of the park? We can have a bat cave of some sorts, that would be so much fun!”

She giggled; but then stopped at the sudden thing popping out of mid air…another porter?

”Do you have anything else useful? You have something that can track shards but do you have something to track other senshi? Or Youma? I know I can sense Youma due to Grannies training and I will get random Visions of a battle or thing to come but that seems inefficient.”

Valdis turned to the girl who appeared, she smiled recognizing the accent, she waved; course she already knew Keitha was a sailor scout. So she waived.

”Ello lu…”

Her hand fell as her eyes glazed over, her body going limp and collapsing to the ground.

Kail just looked flabbergasted to the point that he out of everyone there was able to get one heck of a massive clue. If one could see his eyes they were going a mile a minute. Since he never expected this to happen and was wracking his mind to what else this meant. But if there was some clue in ancient myths and stories perhaps a better clue to how this Dark Kingdom came into power. None the less he started to laugh loudly "This is just bloody mad....This means that in some extent that this lost era of time has been lost in translations as myths and stories. None the less I hit the mark. Might do some research on the matter" he said grinning a bit since he was again being useful for the group. The tale that he heard from the cats in general drew him in and would have to write this down later almost sensing what Valdis was thinking.

Then hears on what some of the others said and first turns to Sophia and had a slight solem look on his face."My mum told me a lot of Greek myths and stories. She was a great storyteller.....and influenced me as a writer" he said and lapsed into English when he spoke to Sophia. He still was still effected by the disappearance of his real parents but accepted that they had died. Since that they would not sink and join the ranks of the Covenant. But his eyes shoot over to Amarissa as she clamed the wand like item and had no issues with her taking leadership. It was not his strong suit or had any talent in that area, even then this girl had a charisma about her. But Kail could not put his finger down on it for some reason. The entrance of Sailor Jupiter got his attention and turned to her.

"No worries lass, Things happen I am sure we can get you up to speed" speaking to her in English since it would be better for her to understand. But hears Valdis speak and cut short and seeing her eyes glaze over and start to fall over. "Bloody hell" Kail yelped and moved quickly catching Valdis before she fell to the floor. This was getting mad again for him again and this time he was going to poke Valdis for some information later when she recovered. Valdis would be held in his arms.

Sophia watches as Amarissa grabs the wand, and tries to locate the crystals. Hopefully, the team could do this quickly. She’d hate to see all this dragged out over months, or years.

Sophia smiles at Sailor Jupiter. “Just glad that you could make it. Keep the senshi outfit if you wish or drop it. As you can see, some of us decided to go as we are. I’m Sailor Venus by the way. Kannon since we seem to do be doing the codename thing.”

Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Valdis starting collapse. “Whoa,” she says. She moves closer to her and Kail. Her breathing seemed regular. “She’s breathing fine. Is Valdis is prone to fainting spells? Also, does anyone have any water or food? I think she should wake by herself in 30 seconds or so. If not, we should probably call an ambulance.”

It was a minute or two when Valdis finally began to come to. As Valdis came to again she felt warmer; her eyes fluttered open and she blinked up at Kail still a bit dazed. She still wasn’t use to the sensation the visions brought, it was as if her soul was momentarily ripped from her body. Her gaze shifted to Sophia and back to Kail where she gave a sheepish grin.

”Mornin…what I miss?”

Her tone was casual as if she was just commenting on the weather. Although she was slightly confused…Usually she could guess the meaning of her visions…this one she could not. Nor had she pinpointed exactly what brought them on. But either way the episode they caused were certainly inconvenient. She rubbed the bridge of her nose, not really bothering to get up; still going over what exactly she saw. It wasn't exactly helpful until she knew what it meant…she’d be doing some research certainly when she got home and she sort of recognized the skyscrapers.

Amarissa turned, surprised as Kietha walked up. Then grinned as she noticed the girl had come in her senshi out fit, the voice was still a dead giveaway though. But, out of respect, she didn't say anything. "Welcome, Sailor Jupiter. Glad you could make it to the meeting. Let me do some introductions. Everyone, this is Sailor Jupiter. She's the newest senshi. The two cats are Luna and Artemis. The red head male is the Mars Knight, otherwise known as Killian. Yuki is the Mars Senshi, and Sophia here is Venus. The other guy in the hood is Kishin, the earth knight. And the girl dark haired girl is Valdis. She's not a senshi, but she is different and so we let her hang out with us," she finished, laughing at the last part.

"Let's catch you up to speed. So far, we've decided that even though we're supposed to work as a group, it's still a choice. We are human, afterall, and there fore have a right to choose. That includes your real identity. The other major thing you missed is..." and she continued to give Jupiter a brief explanation on the Silver Crystal and Princess, who Nazo was, and what little they knew about the kingdom, laughing a little at the end as she finished with "I know how crazy this all sounds, but it is the truth."

Her laugh cut off suddenly, though, when Valdis collapsed. She rushed over with the others and nodded in agreement to Sophia's suggestion about an ambulance. Amarissa had just pulled the number up on her phone when Valdis came to, giving them a sheepish grin and acting as if this was normal. "Are you alright? Should we call an ambulance? You act as if this is normal though," she asked, calm but worried.

Yuki looked at Sailor Jupiter with a bit of surprise, having not expected anyone else to join their meeting. When Amarissa began catching the girl up on what had transpired, Yuki gave a pleased grin at the moon senshi.

”Ah so you do laugh. That’s good to know.” If there was one thing that bothered Yuki it was people that were serious all the time. She preferred a more care-free attitude, maybe even more so under serious circumstances like the one their group was currently in.

However when Valdis collapsed momentarily, liked everyone else, Yuki looked over at the girl with a somewhat worried expression. When she came back to, Yuki quickly dug into her bag.

”I have some energy bars if you need something to eat,” she offered in case Valdis was suffering some sort of anemia.

Keitha smiled and waved to those who greeted her then sighed with relief voluminously as she saw that nobody was in their Senshi form and heard she could transform back to her normal self, "Oh thank tha stars." She said closing her eyes and envisioning her everyday self. When she opened her eyes she was wearing red plaid skinny jeans with a studded belt running through the belt loops, a black fitted T-shirt, combat boots, two studded bracelets around her wrists, and all of her piercings and tattoos appeared on her skin while her fiery red hair fell down her back. "I hate that blasted little thing. What are you talking about 'code name'?" She asked open her eyes and then listened as Amarissa named off everyone and nodded to everyone, quiet shocked that all them were her age and she had met them all before, some of them she couldn't believe were Senshi, like Sophia, but then again she still had a hard time believing she was either. She also made a mental note that Killian had a similar dialect like hers and not really like the others when he spoke in English. Keitha listened intently as Amarissa filled her on everything, "Lovely seven Silver Crystals ta help save tha earth and we find those crystals with that wand?" She asks pointing to the thing in Amarissa's hands, then nodding again she said, "If this were a week ago I would ave said you ave gone ravin mad, but considering wha happened tha day I ran into a talkin cat and he told me I ave lightnin powers....I can't help but say, wha tha hell, lets save tha planet." She said shrugging and laughing along with her.

She then heard multiple gasps and turned to see what the commotion was about, "Bloody hell, are ya okay lassie?" She asked looking over the purple haired girl with concern.

Kail gently places Valdis back on the bench after everyone rushed over and even he was worried about her condtion. For the most part he knew that Valdis was over her cold and was in good health. She did not do anything that could cause something like this. So he ruled out outside physical problems. It did not mean though she had some medical illness but ruled that out since she would have told him something like that. "Lets give her a minute to get back to her senses" he said wanting everyone to give her some space at least. He keeps calm and slowly does a check on Valdis to see if there was anything that would be out of the normal. "I don't think this was a normal fainting spell and I have been with Valdis for awhile. She is in good health.....and I don't think this was cause by low energy either....." he said telling the others since it was the technical truth. Valdis did con him in to being her bodyguard for awhile now.

"........Val what happend" he said trying to figure it out him self what happened. Since he did not know what the major cause was with this. Kail was thankful that most of the others in the group were there or he would be in a panic. "You passed out while in the middle of saying something" he said being calm as possible. Kail did hope with the amount of worried faces that Valdis would not wave them away.

Kishin watches everything that happens with a bit of a perplexed expression. Too much stuff had been discussed suddenly, but he had a very simple questions that had been bouncing around in his mind ever since his discussion with Ama at her house.

"So I know this is off topic, but who's the leader?" He suddenly asks.

“Glad to have you back, Valdis.” Sophia says, a little relieved. Having to call an ambulance during this would be a little weird. “You should probably eat the energy bar…” she says. “When is the last time you ate, drank some water, and slept?” She had seen people faint before. It wasn’t an uncommon experience. Normally, they were just a little unsteady afterwards.

As Kishin mentions leader, Sophia look at him a little confused. “Why do we need a leader? It’s not like any of us or more knowledgeable than the other in this topic. And I like having discussions like this. I say we keep it democratic.” There wasn’t really anyone here that she felt confident to rally behind while they all were very capable.

While the Senshi and Knights were discussing leader issues, Artemis has a notion come to mind. As far as he could tell, Keitha had a loose understanding of Japanese at best...it's a problem when one of Earth's guardians can't communicate with the others. He goes over to Luna and pokes her with a paw, getting an annoyed look in return.

"Hey...Luna, do you have anything in your stash for a language barrier?"

"What do you mean?"

"Jupiter isn't...native."

"...Oh...I see. Well..." Luna says pondering and pawing her own temples trying to think and recall, before she walks over to Keitha, with Artemis behind.

"...I suppose there's the old communicator Selenity used to use for when foreign civilizations interact with the Moon Kingdom..." Luna says, as her crescent glows, causing a small bubble to appear with a pair of earrings within them, simple small silver hoops with a white stone on the opposite end of the barb. Artemis looks at Keitha then with a nod.

"If you wear these, then you should be able to communicate clearly with everyone..." the cat says, hoping Keitha understands that much.

Valdis blinked as she got swarmed by the girls, she was thankful that Kail told them to give her some space. She wasn’t exactly sure how she was going to explain this one. But one thing was for sure she didn’t need an ambulance.

”No, o need to call for an ambulance…I’m fine…and thank you pushy cat”

She accepted the energy bar…it had been a while since she ate. Valdis blinked and looked over at Sophia when she asked a long list of questions…Now those required some thought.

”I had a piece of toast and a bowl of rice for breakfast….and last night was to fun for sleeping….Although water was quite frequent had some before I jumped in the shower”

Valdis sleeping habits weren’t exactly the healthiest, so Sophia had given her a very reasonable excuse to why she had gone down….after all she didn’t know what the vision meant yet. Valdis patted Kail on the shoulder, she would explain it to him later.

”It probably was due to lack of food or sleep, I’m afraid my eating and sleeping habits are not the healthiest. Half the time the members of Siren are stuffing food down my throat. I apologize for the trouble and will attempt to avoid this in the future. ”

She was thankful that the amazing jumping bean had come in with a distraction.

”As nice as democracy is, it doesn’t work in a battle situation where quick decisions are needed. You need someone who can direct a battle at a moment’s notice to help coordinate all of your attacks in order to create the greatest impact. But that also means you guys will need something like a radio head set or something to communicate with each other during a fight. Democracy would work in these large group situations where we are all just talking, but you’ll still need a leader for on the field…”

Valdis finished off the energy bar….perhaps it was lack of food and sleep that made her go down during a vision…She looked back up at the group.

”I offer this suggestion, keep these meeting democratic but vote for who you want to coordinate your battles, or at least the larger ones like miss Icy. When its just one or two of you in a battle I’m sure you can coordinate on the fly, but when its all of you it will get hectic. Besides me does anyone else have any knowledge on battle tactics or strategies?”

Really that way a leader type person would only really be needed during the larger of battles…after all so far the rest of the group individually seemed to do well on their own. Valdis didn’t see the need to really mess with that…

”If you guys figure all that out I will offer the resources I have on battle tactics and all that fun stuff. I’m also sure you could pick Nazo’s brain for advice as well I know I have, he’s useful for scenarios.”

Valdis looked over when the cat gave Lucky charms some earrings, well that would have been useful to give her before the sleep over. Valdis looked over at lucky and in English in a very heavy Transylvanian accent said.

”Put them on please”

It was the first time Valdis actually spoke to her in English, but the translation might have been needed.
