"Jon? You finally..." Felicia stopped for a moment. "Artemis, what are you calling for? Nevermind, did you see the news?! PYRON is back, I'm practically clawing my skin off over here, do you remember the last time he..." She paused again. "What?"
****
"It wasn't Pyron," Artemis repeated. "It was just his daughter. Yes, he has a daughter. I've been looking out for her the last few years and last night she...well, she blew. I have no idea where she is, but that is going to bring Darkstalkers from all over the place after her head."
Artemis listened for a moment and the frantically shook his head.
"No! No! No!" he said. 'If you HAVE to tell the dog, okay, but don't put it over their voice mail. Tell him face to face. Do you know how many people would take the chance to rip any child of Pyron's into many parts? And I'll call him a dog if I want, for all you know he's tomcatting around right now. I am not that bad. Errr...You've been talking to Luna recently, haven't you?"
****
"Is there anything else I should know?" Felicia asked. She started twitching. "Seven...more...The last Kumo, a dragon, Rikuo's daughter, a yuki-onna, a fey princess, the heir to the City of Brass and MORRIGAN'S daughter? Artemis, when did you and Luna start a boarding school for the Makai elite? I'm a performer, Artemis, I'm not cut out to protect eight inexperienced kids from people like Donovan Baine or Dmitri! Not that inexperienced? What do you mean 'not that inexperienced?'"
****
"SENSHI!!!!" the phone roared out as Artemis held it away from his head.
****
"Not even JUST senshi!" Felicia practically shrieked. "But you mean the SAILOR SENSHI!!"
Felicia felt very much like trying to go to sleep so she'd wake up and find this all a bad dream. There were many senshi in the world, and not all of them good, but the Sailor Senshi were an ancient long thought vanished order until they began appearing in Japan. She had been told that the origins of the Sailor Senshi extended far back into the depths of time and a lost kingdom of power and glory in a previous age. Every darkstalker knew at least some of the legends involved in their past wars.
"I never studied much but even I know that senshi power is light and order," Felicia said. "And makai power is chaos and darkness. How can they channel BOTH?! Why don't they just cut their own throats and be done with it?!"
She clutched her head at the stress of trying to rationalize this information.
"I'll be there! I'll be there!" Felicia snapped. "Just keep an eye out...Donovan Bain will kill any of you on sight. Mei-Ling and Hsien-ko could be reasoned with and are more likely to ask questions first. You know who they are...yes, the chinese ghosts that you hit on five times in as many minutes. I'm sure it did hurt. Don't ask me if they'll remember or not. Little Miss Riding Hood is about like Donovan Bain, but she'll kill bystanders too, and if that zombie creep is around these friends of yours would make very tempting sacrifices. Got it? Good! Now. Artemis! You and Luna are going to get me KILLED!!!"
