Welcome to Gaia! ::

A frown tugged at Sophie’s lips as her fingers found the ends of her hair again, fidgeting with them. She seemed to understand, remembering how Yuki had asked her the same question. Back then, Sophie had brushed it off with a vague excuse about needing a change of hairstyle.





A light blush came to Sophie's cheeks, that was something she had never heard anyone say to her before. "Bianca-chan..."
What exactly did Bianca mean? It was odd, why would a stranger say this? If it were anyone else, they might have gotten the meaning behind what Bianca was trying to say, but to Sophie, she took this as if Bianca saw she was in danger, she would have stepped in just like Liara did.

There was other chatter, but Sophie was only really thinking about what Bianca had just said to her, until Bianca started to show something on her phone, it was only then Sophie started to pay more attention. Sophie leaned in to look at Bianca's phone, seeing Life360, Sophie had never heard of such an app. A "Oooooooh...." escaped her lips, seeming intrigued by this technology. "I've not heard of this before!"

Tenya agreed with Sophie about Seiya being more masculine, regardless, giving her a playful wink, and she was right – Sophie really had no idea who she was speaking with, but Sophie harmlessly giggled a little in return.

As the conversation continued, both Kira and Tenya discovered that Sophie was in fact friends with Yuki—someone else who needed a visit eventually. Staring at the Star Change, and seeing Tenya take hold of it, Kira watched as she somehow made the pulse-glowing device stop.



While Tenya was messing around with the device, there was chatter between Kira, Sophie, and Bianca. Luna peered up at Tenya, watching her, or rather giving her a 'look' as if she were one step closer to solving the puzzle.

"Where did you get that from?"
"I-I have no idea. This isn’t mine... maybe it’s Yuki’s?"
"Yuki?"
"Yeah, Yuki is my roommate. Maybe she meant to put this in her bag, and it got mixed up with mine or something?"
"Yuki... is her last name Hikari, by chance?"
"Yeah it is! How’d you know that? Do you know her?"
"Sort of... she’s, uh... my friend’s sister..."

Before Sophie was able to answer, her shocked expression, a tune came from her phone that resided in her skirt's pleated pocket.

"Hm?" Taking out the phone, she saw the name displayed on the screen. "Speak of the devil.." Sophie said outloud.



Kira looked back at Bianca, half distracted by Sophie's conversation. "A cafe?" Thinking about awakening her in such a public spot would not be ideal. Shaking her head, Kira answered. "No... these grounds are okay for what I need to talk to you about, I know where a secluded spot is, we can talk more privately there. You'll see why soon."



Placing it to her ear, she answered, which caused Kira to intently stare at Sophie, like she were trying to listen in.
"Yuki?---" Before Sophie could speak any further, Yuki had begun to talk, causing Sophie to look at the individuals one at a time. "Yes, I'm okay, I've made some new friends, and I have been with them the whole time...why?"

Kira narrowed her eyes and thought to herself "Yuki must have sensed Yaten holding her Star Change... hence the call... she most likely now knows one of us is a Starlight..." Kira shifted her gaze to the Star Change Tenya was still holding.

"Mhm! ... Okay, hehe I'm okay, I promise. Oh, by the way, one of the girls here knows you! Kira Kyudo!? Crazy, huh? Such a small world!" Sophie said, beaming a smile towards Kira.
However, there was a dead silence on the other end. "...Yuki?" Sophie asked, lifting the phone off her ear to make sure Yuki was still on the phone, but the voice on the other end must have realised she was quiet and spoke. Sophie's concerned expression changed back to her smiling again.
"Oh……..uh... sure. By the way, Yuki—did you happen to leave a weird star-shaped thing with wings in my bag? It was turned on when I opened my bag. Tenya managed to get it to stop, though!"
Sophie's comment was a dead giveaway, causing Kira's expression to change to an anxious one, shifting her stare to Tenya as if to say 'Oh no!' However, Sophie was none the wiser—she truly had no idea about anything.

Again, there was silence on the phone, but Yuki seemed to have changed her tone. It almost didn't sound like Yuki, or rather, not her friendly self. Sophie looked at Tenya and responded to Yuki.
"Uh, yeah...... s-sure......... I'll see you later then."
Pausing between sentences, it was unknown to them what Yuki was saying, but Sophie's expression changed to serious during this period.

Luna, having overheard the entire conversation—thanks to her keen feline hearing—narrowed her eyes at Sophie, a frown forming as she thought,
"Sophie gave Yuki the answer without Yuki even asking who was able to turn it"off"... there's no doubt now—Yuki's suspicious of us, and of her Princess."



Sophie turned back to Tenya. Since the device was now no longer glowing, Tenya was able to hand it back to Sophie, while getting an idea whose it was in the process. Sophie put her mobile back in her pocket and spoke.
"I should get going.." For that moment, Sophie seemed a little bothered, but masked it with her usual bubbly self shortly after.
Knowing Kira wanted some time to talk to Bianca alone, Sophie used her other hand to fling her bag around her shoulder, while still holding the Star Change in the other hand, she placed it into her pocket in her pleated skirt.

"Thank you, Tenya, for turning that off, you have the magic touch, it seems! Your kitty is adorable too!" Sophie resumed her usual happy expression and gave a polite bow toward the girl, then turned to Kira and added, "Kira, it was such an honour and a pleasure to meet you in person!"
"The pleasure is mine, Sophie." Kira smiled, watching the girl turn her attention to Bianca.
"Bianca, I'll hear from you later, yeah?" Sophie gave a wave goodbye and, as her hand formed a peace sign, she beamed her smile. "Wish me luck finding the Three Lights~!"



That small detail alone made Kira watch Sophie as she walked away. "...the Three Lights?" she thought to herself, narrowing her gaze.

Now that Sophie was walking away, Kira waited until she had gained some distance before speaking. With Sophie’s back to them, Kira glanced at Tenya and raised an eyebrow.
"I wonder why she’s looking for them..." she murmured thoughtfully.
Her gaze drifted to the seat where Sophie had been sitting—and then landed on the sketchbook she had left behind.
"Oh! Sophie left this behind—"

Kira leaned down to pick up the sketchbook. As she grasped it, her fingers slipped slightly, and the book fell open. She quickly steadied it with her other hand, but her eyes had already fallen to the page that had been revealed.



"This...person is..." Kira mumbled.

The artwork depicted a beautiful woman who resembled Princess Serenity. Glancing at Tenya, Kira asked, "Is that... Usagi?"
She began flipping through the pages. Each one featured a stunning illustration of a different Sailor Senshi. When she reached the final page of the sketchbook, instead of another piece of artwork, she found the girl’s contact information—her name, phone number, email address, and current address in case her sketchbook was lost. "She's drawn... everyone... her art is incredible..." Kira seemed quite amazed, but she wondered why the fascination with Sailor Senshi...?

Straightening up, Kira had an idea and looked at Tenya, and spoke.
"Actually... this might work in our favor. I was thinking of a reason to visit Yuki, and this is it. However, I'm probably the last person Yuki wants to see... but you and her have... something in common. Perhaps it would be better if you talked to her? We need Yuki by our side. With Liara at the hospital with Alita, that's two people down. Sophie seems to be looking for the Three Lights? So again, this is perfect..." Kira's turquoise eyes shifted to Bianca.
This was the first time Liara’s name had come up—a detail that wouldn’t go unnoticed by Bianca, especially in light of what Sophie had revealed to her earlier.

"Which leaves... Bianca and Yuki."

The archer was speaking in code—implying that 'Tenya', or rather Yaten, may need to visit Yuki under the authority of Princess Nova. Since Tenya had already built a relationship with Sophie, it might be wise to use that connection to get close to Yuki. That was what Kira was hinting at.

But Kira didn’t want to use Sophie as a means to an end. She truly appreciated Sophie’s friendship—both to Bianca and to Tenya, causing her to feel bad for thinking of such a thing to begin with.

She sighed and passed the sketchbook to Tenya.



Facing Bianca, Kira felt a heavy weight on her chest. Her eyes narrowed sadly as she thought,
"I'm about to ruin this girl's life... the way mine was ruined... and I'm about to do the same thing, again, but in this life. Why must our futures be like this? This girl is going to surely hate me after awakening her memories..."

Kira braced herself, and spoke towards the ginger-haired young lady "I’m sorry I had to cut our conversation about the café. It isn’t a good place to talk—not for this conversation. But... if you follow me, you’ll understand soon why it's not."

Luna remained quiet for now. She wanted to speak, but knew the time wasn’t right. Not yet.

Kira gestured for everyone to follow her. The three of them moved out of the stadium seats and entered the archery room behind the main stage. It was empty—only attendees were allowed there—and no one else was around though. Kira knew it was safe enough to speak openly.
Bracing herself, Kira looked at Luna and gave a subtle nod before turning to Bianca. From Bianca's point of view, it might have felt like she was in trouble—for taking photos or recording.

"When I bumped into you back then, I was with Alita—a good friend of ours. She was the one who told me to seek you out. By any chance, did you have any flashbacks or strange things happen then? Or even lately?" Kira had a strong feeling the answer would be yes in some form. She nodded and continued.
"The vision you saw was Princess Nova. She is the celestial princess who watches over realms beyond the Solar System. That person... is me. From my past life."



She looked at Tenya, then back at Bianca again.
"What I’m about to tell you is going to sound like absolute nonsense. Believe me, I found it hard to understand at first, and I didn’t want to—but everything I’m about to say is the truth."



Kira took another deep breath and exhaled, closing her eyes. She couldn't help but feel the guilt piling up inside her.

"Bianca, you are a special person with incredible powers—one who could change our future, along with a few others."
Opening her eyes, her turquoise gaze glowed with an unnatural light as she spoke.
"You are a Sailor Senshi, like me. We are both Zodiac Senshi who protect the Stars and the Solar System. You've heard of Sailor Moon, right? She is Princess Serenity, and she has Sailor Senshi of her own who protect her. We protect those Sailor Senshi. You won’t really remember anything—not until Luna, here..."
She gestured to the cat, who stared up piercingly at Bianca, as though looking straight into her soul.



"...awakens your memories. Right now, you might be experiencing really weird, unexplainable things—and that’s why nothing makes sense yet. Is that right?"



Kira had to pause for a moment, needing time to gather her thoughts before continuing, but also listening to Bianca, hearing her out.
"I have Zodiac Senshi who protect me. Currently, Alita—she is Sailor Libra—but she has been very unwell. Liara is her fiancée, and she is a different type of Senshi called a Sailor Starlight. I'm sure you've seen Sailor Moon in the media before—those are called Sailor Senshi, and they tend to have similar designs. Sailor Starlights..."
Her voice trailed off as she looked at Tenya. "Tenya is... a Sailor Starlight. However, her Princess isn’t me. Tenya is only accompanying me to protect me, since my other Senshi companions aren’t here. Tenya is actually... Sailor Star Healer. But you might know her as... Yaten Kou."

Kira knew this might come as a shock. Being present during the Three’s transformation would only confirm that what Bianca actually saw was real.
She understood that Bianca would likely need time—to process, to think, maybe even to ask Tenya a question? Kira paused and waited until she could continue.

"Believe it or not...Tenya is currently in disguise. The Sailor Starlights possess the ability to shapeshift and alter their physical forms. Starlights are typically born as part of a trio of siblings... Yuki is also a Sailor Starlight—she’s the middle child. Liara is the eldest, and Addison is the youngest. I’m not on good terms with Addison, and the same goes for Yuki… but that girl, Sophie, is living with Yuki. I know it sounds terrible, but Sophie is our only way to get close to Yuki. We need Yuki just as much as we need you."

Kira knew it was wrong to use someone as a means to an end, but if they could befriend Sophie, it might earn Yuki’s trust—and that trust could sway Yuki to join their cause. Looking at Yaten, Kira spoke again. "It seems Sophie has no idea about our other lives. I suppose that’s to protect her—and rightfully so. I don’t blame Yuki for that decision at all. Liara did the same to me when we lived together." Looking back at Bianca, Kira held her somber expression. "I guess... that takes me back to my original topic then... Luna?" Kira's gaze looked down at the black cat, who gave a nod towards Kira, then her gaze became fixated on Bianca.

"I'm sorry I've kept quiet. My name is Luna..."

Pausing, Luna was accustomed to hearing the 'Wow, a talking cat' comments. Waiting for Bianca's reaction, she didn’t waver—her expression remained serious.
"I understand you may think it is strange to see a talking cat, and yes, this is real. I'm an advisor—I am able to awaken memories. For a while now, I have sensed your presence, even when you were hiding during the youma attack. You must have noticed your Senshi instincts kicking in... not wanting to run away because it felt wrong. Otherwise, you would have left already."
Luna gave a small, approving smile—the kind that carried quiet pride, as if to say you did well without needing words. "Wanting to learn more isn’t a bad thing—in fact, in your case, Bianca, it’s a very good thing." Luna took a step closer to the young woman.



"That being said... I can awaken your memories. Once I do, everything will become much clearer to you. As a Sailor Senshi, it is your duty to protect Princess Nova. We need you to remember your past life."

She paused briefly, her tone softening.

"Your daily life will change. Princess Nova wished for all of you to live peaceful, Senshi-free lives—unless a threat emerged that the current Sailor Senshi could not face alone. That time has come. And that’s where you come in."



From a short distance away, Kira watched in silence. A quiet heaviness settled over her chest as Luna spoke. She knew exactly what came next—for Bianca, and for her peaceful life.
It wasn’t fair.

This girl, unknowingly bound to a duty she never asked for, was about to have everything uprooted—for the sake of protecting her. As much as Kira wanted to rebel against that reality, deep down, she knew there was no other choice.
She remembered the day Luna had said almost the exact same words to her—how her ordinary life had shattered the moment those memories awakened. Everything had changed after that. And yet... here she stood. Alive. Changed. Stronger.
Kira was also unsure how Bianca would feel about her, wondering what memories she might recall of Princess Nova. Would she be like Addison? Remembering only the painful parts of it all? Kira curled her hand into a fist and focused on Luna.

Luna narrowed her eyes slightly, focusing intently on Bianca. She had sensed it for some time now—the lingering energy, the quiet pull of destiny. But sensing wasn’t confirmation.
The crescent moon on her forehead began to flicker softly, pulsing with a pale golden light.
The light pulsed again—stronger this time—and then, in a sudden flash, a thin beam of light burst forward from Luna’s crescent mark, striking directly onto Bianca’s forehead.



For a heartbeat, everything was still.

And then—there it was. A matching shimmer of light began to form on Bianca’s skin, faint but undeniable. The shape of an Aquarius symbol glowed into view, flickering like a memory being stirred awake.

It would likely place Bianca in a trance-like state.
Kira watched as this girl's life was being taken from her—or at least, from a memory’s point of view. She narrowed her eyes, fighting the instinct to intervene. But deep down, she knew it had to be done.
"I'm sorry, Bianca... I'm truly, truly sorry," Kira thought, her heart pounding with nervous tension. Uncertainty gnawed at her—she couldn’t help but wonder what memories Bianca was seeing in that moment. The archer’s hand reached out and took hold of Tenya’s, squeezing it tightly. She didn’t look at her, but the gesture was enough—it wasn’t for comfort. It was a silent plea: Just stay with me.
The look on Kira’s face made it clear—she hated every second of watching this happen.

"This symbol… it's the sign of Aquarius. Bianca… she’s Sailor Aquarius!"

The jingling sound of a phone going off caused Sophie to turn her attention away from the others and towards the device within her skirts' pleated pocket.

"Hm? "Speak of the devil.." As Sophie was in the middle of answering her cell phone. Bianca had already suggested that they take this conversation elsewhere, like to a cafe. "Ah, excuse me lassies? Should this conversation be taken elsewhere? Like to a 'coffee haus'?"

"A cafe? No... these grounds are okay for what I need to talk to you about, I know where a secluded spot is, we can talk more privately there. You'll see why soon."

The reference she was making would not be as so public as Kira thought. It was her 'coffee haus' that she was talking about.




A place that was definitely quiet and peaceful away from the rest of the world because her business had not become publicly known as of yet. Tucked away in a back corner that was often overlooked. Kira didn't know. So she did not fault Kira for that. Nor anyone for that matter. Perhaps soon.. one day, she will get an opportunity to share her cafe with her new found friends.

Bianca turned her attention towards Sophie then as she spoke to someone on the other line. "Yuki?---" The roommate? Bianca canted her head to the side with a curious expression as she listened in on the conversation intensely. NOT that she could hear what Yuki was telling Sophie. She could tell by Sophie's intense expression by casting a glance at each and everyone of them there that something felt off. 'How peculiar. . .' she thought to herself.

"Yes, I'm okay, I've made some new friends, and I have been with them the whole time...why?"

There was a long pause of silence before Sophie began to nod her head. In the meantime, Bianca took the time to look at everyone noticing the change in demeanor among the gathering. Yes, something most definitely had changed suddenly.

"Mhm! ... Okay, hehe I'm okay, I promise. Oh, by the way, one of the girls here knows you! Kira Kyudo!? Crazy, huh? Such a small world!"

Watching how Sophie withdrew the phone from her ear to glance down at the screen spoke volumes when Yuki did not respond to what Sophie discovered.

"...Yuki?"

Taking note of Kira and Tenya exchanging a glance towards one another. She gathered that there was something going on. It was at that same time she took note of the black cat seemingly interested in what was going on with Sophie. Squinting her eyes slightly, as if Bianca was trying to make heads and tails of why a cat of all things was interested as well as fascinated with the conversation. Most of the time, animals paid no heed to conversations to people. The fact that this cat took an interest was curious.

"Oh..uh... sure. By the way, Yuki did you happen to leave a weird star-shaped thing with wings in my bag? It was turned on when I opened my bag. Tenya managed to get it to stop, though!"

The look of shock from Kira made it evident that the star device Tenya was holding had some sort of significant purpose that caused a reaction out of the duo. But more so from Kira.

There was some more awkward silence from Sophie until she took a moment to look over at Tenya, "Uh, yeah...... s-sure......... I'll see you later then." The moment Sophie ended the call she just stood there still like. Too still for Bianca's comfort. "Sophie, my dear, is everything alright?"

Shifting her dark green eyes away from the cat, Tenya, Kira and then over towards Sophie. She could feel a complete change from Sophie then.

"I should get going.."

Seeing that Sophie had a slightly tighter grip upon her phone until she pocketed it away from sight. Sophie's demeanor did an almost 180 degree change to her 'normal - happy self' in what felt like a few mere seconds.

"Thank you, Tenya, for turning that off, you have the magic touch, it seems! Your kitty is adorable too!"

Observing how Sophie thanked Tenya and then turned her attention towards Kira then with a polite bow, "Kira, it was such an honour and a pleasure to meet you in person!"

"The pleasure is mine, Sophie."
"Bianca, I'll hear from you later, yeah?"

Sophie was hiding something. As much as Sophie was trying her best to keep what was bothering her in cover, Bianca couldn't help but feel like they missed out on some valuable information from Yuki.

Erasing her skeptical expression back to one of familiarity when she first met Sophie. Her smile was genuine along with the tone of her voice. "Aye! That you will lassie! T'was very nice to meet you, Sophie! I will reach out ta you later when I find --" Taking a quick brief look at Kira before redirecting her glance at Sophie, "What you are looking for. A promise is a promise! Take care of ye-self - ah am looking forwards to seeing ye again!" Providing a wave in goodbye for now towards her new found friend, Sophie.

"Wish me luck finding the Three Lights~!"

Bianca knew that Sophie was going to need it. She was certain looking for the Three Lights would be like looking for a needle in a haystack with the present time. Celebrities. They always seem to vanish just when things are getting good!

"I wonder why she is looking for them..."

Bianca overheard Kira's statement as she watched Sophie depart the area. Watching how Kira seemed to interact with Tenya then even if was brief. The silence soon shifted to surprise, "Oh! Sophie left this behind!"

Bianca also took note of the sketchbook that belonged to Sophie, "Ah yes, Sophie dropped it when she was about to board the train. Ah-- managed ta retrieve the sketchbook for her and she was... " Watching how Kira seemed to focus on one individual drawing, "Is that... Usagi?"

Watching how Tenya moved over closer towards Kira and taking a moment to look at the drawing. "It is! H-how is that possible?"

"She's drawn... everyone... her art is incredible..."

"She's ah.. looking for someone in the drawings that ye see thare..." Not that it was particularly her place to say that outloud. Something in the back of her mind said it was okay to make a mentioning of it while Kira and Tenya looked over the drawings.

"Actually... this might work in our favor. I was thinking of a reason to visit Yuki, and this is it. However, I'm probably the last person Yuki wants to see... but you and her have... something in common. Perhaps it would be better if you talked to her? We need Yuki by our side. With Liara at the hospital with Alita, that's two people down. Sophie seems to be looking for the Three Lights? So again, this is perfect..."

Trading an unsure glance at the duo, while Kira addressed Tenya. Tenya remained quiet and nodded her head to what Kira spoke about thinking that it was a good idea. Plus it would allow them a chance to meet, 'Yuki'. The sister that Liara had mentioned not too long ago.

The moment those two seemed to be done with whatever code-language was being shared amongst each other, Kira's attention shifted back towards Bianca then. Perhaps, Kira had heard what she said in saying that Sophie was looking for someone in those drawings.

"Which leaves... Bianca and Yuki."

The sketchbook traded hands from Kira to Tenya then, as Kira drew closer to where Bianca stood. Judgement day, seemed to finally arrive. The anticipation of hearing Kira demand for the film from her cameras and chips came to Bianca's mind then as she was trying to conjure up a legitimate reasoning as to why she should be able to keep everything she had taken pictures of for the day.

Every step Kira took moving forwards, sounded much heavier than intended, like a hammer striking an anvil. Trying to remain cool all while feeling tension rippling along her shoulders and back in anticipation of what Kira would say or do. The long, hard, unreadable gaze from the teal eyes locking in on hers. Did not help the situation. Bianca felt as if she was about to run out of air, as her fingertips wound themselves in along the straps of her camera cases in preparation for the first blow to strike.

"I'm sorry I had to cut our conversation about the cafe. It isn't a good place to talk not for this conversation. But... if you follow me, you'll understand soon why it's not."

The blow didn't strike as hard as she thought it was. The moment Kira spoke to her, the message was relayed. The gesture from Kira for her to follow just felt like she was moving out of site from others so that the real punishment for taking pictures would be dealt with quietly.

With her teeth clenched tightly, she obeyed and followed behind Kira. Not too closely but also knew she was being cornered then by the cat, Luna and Tenya, whom were following from behind.

Moment of truth as their small gathering came to an abrupt halt in the archery room behind the main stage. The silence from Kira then was a little bit too much until Bianca could see that there was an uneasy tension rippling along Kira's shoulders. Wondering why her of all people who needed to talk - looked as tense as she felt.

"When I bumped into you back then, I was with Alita is a good friend of ours. She was the one who told me to seek you out. By any chance, did you have any flashbacks or strange things happen then? Or even lately?"

The moment Kira asked if she had any flashbacks or happen to see anything out of the ordinary or strange. Bianca couldn't help but feel a sharp pull off in the distance. The pull was sudden, as she re-lived that moment once more.



It almost felt as if the ground beneath her feet opened up and she began to fall. None of this was happening presently -- it was how she felt when asked this question. Feeling as if she was falling uncontrollably she heard the voice again echoing throughout her mind.



As the voice echoed throughout her mind in her memories, the golden compass pendant's arms began spin wildly in reaction to the voice in her mind; as the arms began to whistle in response. Nonchalantly reaching up to take ahold of the pendant with her right hand, along her neckline, Bianca was doing her best to stay grounded and not allow the sensation to overwhelm her before people she did not quite know. With her left hand, the grip upon her camera bag straps became a bit stronger as she stared at Kira. 'How? How does she...?'



Bianca's heart was racing, from a sudden adrenaline rush flooding throughout her bloodstream. Even though Kira was right there before her, Bianca's stare seemed distant as if she was trying to see Kira at the end of a tunnel. The longer she stayed in that memory, the longer some kind of elemental reaction appeared to cause the air around their small gathering began to stir the wind up a bit more than usual. Bianca's long ginger hair that had been at rest began to flutter up off of her shoulders and back hovering about her.

"The vision you saw was Princess Nova. She is the celestial princess who watches over realms beyond the Solar System. That person... is me. From my past life."

An epiphany occured.

The light in Bianca's dark green eyes seemed to take on a different light, which caused a reaction from her. She gasped. And in the moment of taking that breath of air, the tension that had come on suddenly ceased and the wind began to settle around them slowly. The pendant arms were no longer whistling like before but the arms were still spinning due to the presence before her. Bianca blinked a few times as the long lost stare caused Bianca to see Kira up close and personal before her.



'Princess?' She mouthed the title quietly. Her mouth felt dry like a cotton box, which caused her to swallow and speak again a little clearer. "Princess...Nova?" Releasing the grip upon her camera bag straps, she reached up to brush away some of her fallen hair along the side of her face. When her hair was brushed away she rested her hand along her forehead and stood there stumped.

'Why.. why cannae not remember who Princess Nova is? Is there a reason, as to why I cannae recall who she is?

"Bianca, you are a special person with incredible powers, one who could change our future, along with a few others."

Lifting her hand away from her forehead as she turned her head a bit more to look at Kira differently. Albeit a bit confused by Kira's statement then.

"You are a Sailor Senshi, like me. We are both Zodiac Senshi who protect the Stars and the Solar System. You've heard of Sailor Moon, right? She is Princess Serenity, and she has Sailor Senshi of her own who protect her. We protect those Sailor Senshi. You won't really remember anything not until Luna, here..." following Kira gesturing towards the cat named Luna.

"...awakens your memories. Right now, you might be experiencing really weird, unexplainable things and that's why nothing makes sense yet. Is that right?"

Shifting her gaze away from Luna the cat back at Kira. Without so much as saying a word, she nodded her head in agreement with Kira then.

"I have Zodiac Senshi who protect me. Currently, Alita is Sailor Libra, but she has been very unwell. Liara is her fiance, and she is a different type of Senshi called a Sailor Starlight. I'm sure you've seen Sailor Moon in the media before those are called Sailor Senshi, and they tend to have similar designs. Sailor Starlights..."

There was that name again... Liara. Bianca's facial features flushed as she had a vision - a thought back to what Sophie said, about her savor.



"Liara. . . .Sophie said Liara saved her." Taking her eyes off of Kira and over to where Sophie had departed. For whatever reason Liara's name triggered the memory of what Sophie had told her.



Liara is her fiance, and she is a different type of Senshi called a Sailor Starlight.



Bianca appeared so out of character then -- very serious; not her typical laid back casual self. Pointing at the sketchbook that Tenya was now holding. "If what ye are saying is true, Kira? Then ye should open up Sophie's sketchbook and you will find a sketch of the Three Lights in that Amazonian warrior attire... Kira, the one you are saying is called Liara? Sophie is looking for her! Sophie came here with the hopes of finding Liara, since the Three Lights revealed themselves to the public eye by transforming into Amazonia warriors? The only difference from what the public saw in person not one of those singers had red hair and a ponytail."

Realizing she just blurted out a lot of information then. There was just too many ties to the names and people being spoken about that she felt it was necessary to share that information to Kira, Tenya and Luna the cat. If it had felt wrong, she would not have said anything.

"Tenya is... a Sailor Starlight. However, her Princess isn't me. Tenya is only accompanying me to protect me, since my other Senshi companions aren't here. Tenya is actually... Sailor Star Healer. But you might know her as... Yaten Kou."

Bianca's jaw dropped (not literally). "You! You transformed on the stage! YOU are also drawn in Sophie's sketchbook!" Somewhat shell shocked at the realization of JUST how small their world really was. Bianca did not mean to call Yaten or Healer a YOU but the word stuck.

Healer merely grinned in response to how Bianca addressed her then.

"Believe it or not...Tenya is currently in disguise. The Sailor Starlights possess the ability to shapeshift and alter their physical forms. Starlights are typically born as part of a trio of siblings... Yuki is also a Sailor Starlight and she is the middle child. Liara is the eldest, and Addison is the youngest. I'm not on good terms with Addison, and the same goes for Yuki but that girl, Sophie, is living with Yuki. I know it sounds terrible, but Sophie is our only way to get close to Yuki. We need Yuki just as much as we need you."

"You need...me?" All that was being shared with the present parties was just so much information overload that even though Bianca was processing what was being said she still felt overwhelmed. It was a lot to swallow. Standing there with a stunned expression. And to think, she thought she was about to lose her pictures when Kira pulled her off to the side to talk to her about some 'important things'.

"It seems Sophie has no idea about our other lives. I suppose that's to protect her and rightfully so. I don't blame Yuki for that decision at all. Liara did the same to me when we lived together." Looking back at Bianca, Kira held her somber expression. "I guess... that takes me back to my original topic then... Luna?"

Blinking a few times as she watched as Kira turned her attention towards Luna who then seemed to nod her little head in response to Kira. It was at that very moment the cat began to talk.

"I'm sorry I've kept quiet. My name is Luna..."

Bianca stood there completely still as she stared at the talking cat, 'Oh my God... a talking cat... I ...I have so many questions. ' Bianca didn't dare make a comment on finding out that Luna could actually speak. She remained quiet as she stared at Luna in curiosity.

"I understand you may think it is strange to see a talking cat, and yes, this is real. I'm an advisor, and I am able to awaken memories. For a while now, I have sensed your presence, even when you were hiding during the youma attack. You must have noticed your Senshi instincts kicking in... not wanting to run away because it felt wrong. Otherwise, you would have left already."

The fact that Luna smiled at her in an approving mannerism, didn't seem odd at all. It was just different.

"Wanting to learn more isn't a bad thing, in fact, in your case, Bianca, it's a very good thing."

Observing Luna taking a step closer to where Bianca stood, she felt as though she could not take her eyes off of her. Curious as to what she was going to do next.



"That being said... I can awaken your memories. Once I do, everything will become much clearer to you. As a Sailor Senshi, it is your duty to protect Princess Nova. We need you to remember your past life."

' I'm a Sailor Senshi? A Zodiac Senshi? It is my duty to protect the princess -- Is this... does this mean? Everything that I know in this life will be gone? Was my life in the present a cover up for a past life? Will I change? Be different?' Thoughts rambled in the backside of her mind, wondering many things. Waiting in anticipation of what was about to happen. Would whatever Luna the cat was about to do... hurt?

"Your daily life will change. Princess Nova wished for all of you to live peaceful, Senshi-free lives unless a threat emerged that the current Sailor Senshi could not face alone. That time has come. And that's where you come in."



The bald patch of fur-skin along Luna head appeared to disappear from sight as the symbol of a golden crescent moon appeared. Bianca's features softened in awe at seeing that occur. And within seconds of the golden crescent moon appearing a beam of light shot out from Luna's head. The golden light made contact with Bianca then. Feeling a complete wash over of golden, sparkling power encase her. Staring as long as she could look at Luna until she felt her eyelids close as if she were falling asleep standing upright.



A heartbeat - a breath of air was released when suddenly a quickened rush of wind moved straight through her then. The sensation was similar to what she felt beforehand like the ground opening up beneath her shoes and falling. But this time... she was NOT falling. She was floating. Soaring in the air, even though she was not moving. There was a part of her that felt at peace as the light surrounded her as if someone had embraced her in a long forgotten hug. With her eyelids still shut, a pulsing warmth sensation reverberated throughout her body and senses.



Each memory had some kind of significance that caused an array of stars to appear and align along Bianca's freckles along her face. A obvious star chart of the Aquarius constellation lit up. What soon followed thereafter was the symbol of the water bearer glowing along her temple, in reaction to Luna's moonbeam powers awakening her up.



A flood of memories from another life came rolling in with the shape of waves crashing along a beachfront. Long entrails of transparent arms dove down from the sky and appeared to pluck out memories along the surface of the rolling waves of water; withdrawing certain memories that had purposely been blocked. Those memories were thrown up towards the sky whereas the wind captured each and everyone of them. The mashup of broken memories began to take shape and became familiar as every piece of history became clearer in the Zodiac Senshi's mind.



The wind cast out several of the memories as they began to take shape of Bianca dressed in royal armor, the surface of the metal gleaming in the sunlight. And within those mere seconds of light shining down upon the surface of the metal the sound of something swishing in the air. It was a sword in the process of cutting someone down. The sound of a war cry followed along with the smell of hot copper and dirt filling Bianca's senses.



Bianca saw herself turn around and charge towards an enemy that was about to break the shieldwall line. Metal struck down hard, clashing against armor, shields and weaponry that could not only be heard but felt as the vibrations of Bianca's sword making impact against those whom were attacking the fortress. Who was she fighting? And why? As her mind raced through the image of seeing herself on a battlefield fighting some unknown enemy the scenery shifted.





And her senses were bombarded with moisture and salt from tears. Bianca was crying but the memory was incomplete. She didn't understand as to why she saw herself crying and to what caused her to be in that state. Feeling as though she could reach out to herself the scenery of a memory shifted yet again.



That warming sensation was pulling out of her memories, to something more recent. The golden light that washed over her before she closed her eyes manifested itself into a field surrounded by the warmth of the sun and a breeze passing by.



Where was this light inviting her towards? Feeling the tickling sensation of swaying wheat and wildflowers brushing past her fingertips as she moved through a field. The light seemed to beckon her to follow it. Finding that she stopped in her movement, turning her head to feel the wind pick up, which therein caused the leaves from the trees to swirl and dance by being broken free from the limbs. The leaves flew in the breeze and at one point became entangled within the long strands of her ginger hair. Standing in the radiance of the warm sunlight, the woman from her past life stared off into the distance, becoming lost to time.



Her name was being called again... the light was beckoning her to move towards it and embrace her duties once more. Standing still among the flowers of some unknown foreign land surrounded by a quiet field; the past version of Bianca looked onwards in the distance. Something... some force was wanting her -- no needing her to return. A call to arms.



There was no hesitance, as the individual moved forwards. She knew and understood the call. Stepping forward into the light, the golden light surrounded Bianca once more and she awoke to the sound of Luna saying the words. . .

"This symbol.. it's the sign of Aquarius. Bianca is Sailor Aquarius!"
