Ami nodded. "That's pretty much it."
"And we haven't heard from them since?"
"That is the situation."
"No, that really stinks. Just when we need them, they up and vanish."
Usagi looked concerned. "I hope nothing bad happened to them."
"That's the problem," growled Makoto, "We don't know if they're okay or not."
"And we still have to deal with that," mentioned Minako.
'That' was the giant creature being shown on a special report which was decimating an army that was being sent at it with a massive energy beam. Nothing was happening to it from the number of weapons being shot at it, but it was managing to inflict a great amount of damage just fine. All the attacking armies did was to provide whatever it was with more targets to vaporise.
"Unfortunately, we do not know where it is going, or why," observed Ami, "We do not even know what it is exactly, so fighting it would be... problematic at best."
"And life threatening at worse," muttered Rei. "Hey, could those ships have sent those things?"
"Possibly, but without knowing exactly how, I can't tell you for certain."
"Luna," asked Usagi, "Do you know anything about them?"
"Maybe... you have to remember that I'm not too clear on it, but back in the earliest times of the Moon Kingdom, some people were working on ways to control elemental forces."
"That's good... isn't it?"
"It can be, but for the most part, they tried to master those forces. What happened was some sort of... backlash that created things like them."
"So... has someone tried to recreate them?" asked Makoto.
"They wouldn't have to."
"Huh?"
"They were never destroyed."
"What?!"
"There was never enough power to manage that, only enough to subdue them. That chance was used to bind them and place them what was hoped to be an eternal sleep."
"How'd they do that?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"By my time, it had fallen into rumor and legend, but what was for certain was that it took most of the power of the Earth Kingdom to seal them up."
"And we're supposed to fight them?" asked Rei.
"That is very likely."
Minako groaned. "But can't you give us anything else?"
"Sorry, but the only one who might know would be Setsuna."
"Who's missing. What about you Artemis? ...Artemis? What are you doing?"
The rest of the Senshi in the room turned to look at what the white Moon Cat was doing. He was sitting on his hind paws, and had his front ones with the pads pressed together. Lowly, he was muttering something with great speed and deep insistance.
"... If you would just grant me this, I won't even think of looking at that cute Burmese with the shiny coat from down the street again. I'll give up flirting with the tabby near Minako's school and get down to work..."
While the girls sweatdropped, Luna walked up to him and unseathed the claws in one of her front paws.
"...And I won't keep on sneaking the snacks... YOWTCH!"
Luna gave a little smile at her handiwork while:
