(Quick Author note, so that there's no confusion this will be Usa's second visit to the past so she's going back with Ranko for both safety purposes and to learn to be proper Senshi, Drask is going back for protection purposes but he's going to learn a few things too.)
Drask stirred on his pillow fitfully his hair usually kept in a braid with a messy end was totally loose and adding to the comfort of his pillow. "Good dawn son." Zephyre said and Drask sat up like he was spring loaded.
"Oh thank goodness you're okay! I was worried that you hitting your head had done something unfixable!" Marrarn said giving him a hug.
"'m okay mom really." he said over her shoulder.
"So Drask, anything to say for yourself?" he asked.
"Zephyre!" Marrarn scolded. "He's just woken up he can go through your little reflex drills later!"
"I could've used Black Candle instead of Dusk Arrow to hide us till you got there... or used Shadow Command to make him throw the gun out the window." Drask said softly with his head down.
"That's right, but for your first ever taste of combat you did do rather well dodging away from your opponent and launching a fast attack." Zephyre said smiling and Drask smiled back. "Furthermore due to your level the time it would have taken to focus the energy for Shadow Command could have cost you." he said then a slight coffing was heard.
"Ah yes... Drask this is Lady Pluto Ranko's mother and guardian of the Gates of Time." he said introducing Pluto who walked up to him. "She can better explain the situation we're in." he said and Drask looked up at him worried.
"A pleasure small one." Setsuna said kindly sitting beside the bed as he shuffled back to sit more comfortably. "Now as you've guessed a certain situation has arisen." she said and he nodded.
"the assassin was a bit of a givaway." he said very quietly Setsuna almost missed it.
'So there's more then insecurity here.' she thought and smiled. "Yes this is related to the assassin." she said and he gasped realizing she heard him and tried to apologize but she held up her hand. "We've managed to learn from the assassin that there are hundreds of spies and enemy agents in the Silver Millennium and most likely in the Shadow Dimension as well that will spark a war should they get any chance. Their three targets are you, Usa and my daughter." Setsuna said grimly and he was staring right at her his eyes wide. "You're siblings will be going into hiding with their mother but you've already been found so instead we have found a place they cannot reach you." Setsuna said and Drask quickly looked to his parents.
"Th-this is because I messed up with the assassin isn't it? I'm sorry! I'll do better next time just..." he started tearing up but Marrarn had him in a hug almost instantly.
"Oh baby we're not sending you away because we don't want you! It's because we want you to be safe and happy that we have to be apart for a bit, think of it as... a vacation! You get to explore far off places, try new foods and meet new people, maybe even make a few friends." she said and Drask wiped the tears away nodding a little.
"Don't feel too bad, you'll be going back in time. Something few people have ever done, you'll be going with my little girl Ranko as well as the Small lady Usa. You're going to have an important job to do there as well." she said and he nodded his eyes wide.
"Now to do this we had to... change you a little, your magic is now a mix between Shadow and Senshi magic. It acts and works like Shadow Magic but is powered by Saturn's largest moon Titan. Your magic is now a mix between Shadows and Silence. The Silence will give your magic a deadly edge, that Dusk Arrow you launched before if powered by this would have at least hurt the assassin if not killed him if you hit something vital. This is a big responsibility." she explained and his eyes were wide.
"To this end, both the Princess of Saturn and myself will be teaching you to have a greater grasp of your powers, as well as give you a book each on the subject. Your mother will also teach you how to summon a familiar so you'll have a bit of home with you on your vacation." Zephyre said and Drask nodded eagerly. They had used the magic word... magic. (Heh heh heh)
A few hours later.
"Mom do I really have to go?" Ranko asked Setsuna annoyed that the time to enter the past had been moved to that week.
"I'm sorry sweetheart, but with the threat of the Black Moon clan so large we can't risk it. Besides... I'm sure you'd love to mess with people in that time with Usa... what's wrong sweetie?" Setsuna asked.
"A... Am I really a problem?" Ranko asked nervously and Setsuna kneeled down to her level.
"Don't you ever think such a thing. There's nothing I wouldn't do for you." she said and Ranko gave her a big hug.
"So there's no problem with my magic being...?" Ranko asked a little shyly.
"I have no problem with you being Sailor Sol, you have too fiery a spirit to tend to Time anyways." she said and Ranko beamed at her. "Now come on, I've worked it all out with my past self, she's eager to see you." Setsuna explained and Ranko having just broken away gave her another hug.
With Usa
"So I finally get to develop my Senshi abilities!" she cheered half skipping after her mother.
"This is serious small lady. You have a responsibility to learn while your there and to look out for your friends in their first trip to the past." Endymon said and Usa brushed it off.
"Oh don't spoil it for me! I can't have fun when away from the public eye? Comeon!" she said and Serenity rolled her eyes she knew where her daughter got it from but she didn't have to like it.
Ranko was only a bad influence when she was around, Usa got into trouble on her own too. Of course, Usa wasn't the best example for Ranko either. Serena could only sigh at the thought of what Drask might be like should her and Pluto's daughter truly get to him.
