Sailor Moon Awakening
and he that sleeps forever will awaken free of the dragon's curse, and he
shall return into
the service of his first master...
-Prophesy of the Sol Codex
Chapter 9, Unimaginable Power
Coiled around the Crystal of Fire, the great worm Xanbie demon god of fire
and
emperor of the dragons, lay dreaming of his evil deeds. Long ago he had
defeated the
clan of good dragon, forcing the Mystic White Dragon into hiding. He ruled a
long reign
until the humans decided to fight back. The sage Beryl had frozen his
minions in eternal
sleep sentencing them forever to lay beneath the ice. But Xanbie smiled at
the thought of
Beryl, she had faced him herself. He could vividly remember catching her in
his mouth
and biting down leaving two deep wounds one on each shoulder. Years late the
poison
took root and she was more than ready when Metalla came. The great beast
rose, if one
were there they could not be certain that it spoke but they would know who's
voice it was
that was heard.
"I sense the coming evil, I feel new power. Arise my children, awaken from
your
sleep. Cast of the spells of old and emerge from your icy graves. The dark
master
returns!" A soft rumbling could be heard as pure dark power flowed through
the earth.

The ice at the North Pole shook and steamed, Large pools appeared and from
each flew a dragon. Long twisted claws, knobby scaled skin, piercing evil
eyes, and large
bat like wings. They emerged in the hundreds each with knowledge as black as
a moon-
less night. They flew towards there master, leaving countless puddles in the
ice. From
one of these small quickly freezing lakes a hand shot out to cling to the
Ice, followed by
the sleeve of a tattered gray uniform.
***********
Wearing a red tunic, and a red cloak he stood facing out into space. His
graphite
colored hair hanging loose near his shoulders. This was Koran the Wizard of
the Red
Lotus. He held a glass ball in his right hand, caressing it with his left.
blue lightning
surged out from the center of the glass orb and followed his hand.
"You have done well Bigieu, Lord Thantos will be pleased." The woman with
fiery red hair stepped foreword.
"Thank you." The man railed his arms making the cloak float out of the way.
The
orb slowly rose from his hand and floated over to Bigieu.
"Take this to Lord Thantos." After Bigieu had left Koran took a large blue
sapphire, that was carved into the shape of a rose, out from beneath his
cloak.
"Soon Bheliom, soon I will have much use for your power." the gem flashed
with
an almost defiant blue light. Koran frowned as he pressed a blood red ring
against the
blue rose. Bheliom flashed red and seemed to scream in agony.
***********
Kioku was heading home, he had been to the site of yesterdays tragedy. He
could
sense a presence, a presence with great power. In fact he sensed it now, and
it was too
close for comfort. He stepped into an ally and transformed.
"So Kintaro we meet at last." Kintaro turned and saw a woman dressed in
black
with dark red hair. She raised her arms holding a large ax. Her hair started
to glow until it
was a bright fiery red. The ax burst into flames, and a blast of energy shot
towards
Kintaro. Kintaro deflected it with his right hand drawing his sword with his
left. Bigieu
ran foreword bringing the ax down towards his head. Kintaro managed to block
the
attack but his sword was knocked out of his hand. Bigieu raised the ax and
brought it
down as Kintaro rolled out of the way. He bumped his head which slightly
dazed him.
Bigieu came in for the kill but a parked car pulled out in front of her.
-flashback-
Kintaro sits as a young boy with his father. His father is speaking.
"After the sword was stolen we were sealed off from the rest of the
universe. We
hold a special power. We are of the few who can sense and mold the essence
of life. It
has been called Mana, the Force, or simply Magic but, It is an energy field
created by life
and when you awaken to its power you will understand why it is so
dangerous."
***
Kintaro opened his eyes but things had changed. He could sense all that was
around him, and further. A hungry baby cried 3 streets over. A child
panicked as he broke
his mothers favorite crystal candle stand. A dog ran excitedly after a
stick, more and
more information poured in. He could have given you a census of the aunts
crawling over
a dropped candy bar on the other side of town, but more important
information stood out
in his mind. Two strong energy sources were near by, one was Bigieu the
other familiar
but distant in his mind.
His sword left a dint in the web of energy that flowed between all life. He
could
feel its shape and weight in his mind. He saw the space between him and the
sword in a
new way. He slowly closed his eyes and visualized the sword in his hands.
The sword
shook once than flew into his hand. Kintaro stood and jumped over the car
that was
between him and Bigieu. He jumped over her head flipping in mid air, landing
behind her
and with lighting quick reflexes slashed at Her back. She spun Blocked his
attack than
opened a portal and left the scene. Kintaro looked over at the blond hared
man who only
nodded before he vanished. Kintaro changed back into Kioku and headed home,
all sense
of the world around him now gone. It was almost like seeing the world in
black and
white after a brief bombardment of color.
