: Kris, Kris, poor Kris. So alone and yet you have so many friends. Little One, you must wake up. No one should stay here forever and you have been here long enough. Your friends, Sailor Moon in particular, are very worried about you. :

: I don’t want to wake up. : I screamed at the being near me, far away from me, surrounding me. : I like it here. I want to have peace, tranquillity, and happiness. I don’t want to return to hell! : I broke down crying. Someone gathered me up in his arms and gently rocked me, back and forth, as if I were a small child.

: Hush. Poor Kris! I wish you could stay but you know you can’t. Kris, Kris look me in the eyes. : It was so hard to resist the urge to do as the comforting being said. When I looked into his eyes, I lost myself in their owner’s ability to care. All of the love that I saw was directed toward me…

: Kris I promise you, with all of my heart behind this promise, that you will not be alone for much longer. I will be there for you soon, not only here but also there, on Earth. Take that knowledge with you and cherish it. You must go. : The being that was looking me in the eyes suddenly looked away. His face twisted in pain as he said his next words.

I woke up with a feeling that I had forgotten something. Shaking my head, I moaned. Just my luck, I had a nightmare which cased me to gain a headache. "Why me," I said in the direction of the heavens. "Of all people, why me??"

"Sailor Moon, you’re done for! Say goodbye to your stupid Sailor Scouts! As soon as you’re gone, I can take Krisite back with me, where she belongs." Malachite launched a strong ball of his Nega-energy at the Scouts and laughed when they all fell.

I stood up. No one noticed. All of the Sailor Scouts, even Sailor Moon, were down. They we unconscious, maybe dying. Anger flared inside me as I realized that my friends had been hurt so that I could be protected from the Dark Kingdom. "I’m not going anywhere I don’t want to. You piece of trash, you aren’t worth the dirt on any of their shoes!"

I was Krisite and Kris, two people in one. I stood there, the only person who had no knowledge of what my future would become. Even Sailor Moon knew something good was going to happen in the future to her. Every Sailor Scout, and every person on Earth, knew what they wanted to do when they ‘grew up’ except me. My future was a tangled bunch of strings; nothing was discernable from the past, present, or future.

"So, the General-trainee reveals herself. At least we won’t have to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to find you." I back-flipped over Sailor Moon’s fallen form to land at an angle where I could watch my friends and enemies. "Zoicyte, I knew you would be here. Wanting to claim a little piece of the glory? So long Love-Birds! Have fun facing Queen Beryl with yet another report of your failures." Concentrating all of my remaining energy, I warped away from the battle scene, taking all of my friends with me.

When I arrived at Rei’s Temple, a considerable time later, I collapsed from the lack of energy. I hope Malachite doesn’t find me here, I couldn’t save my skin if my life depended on it and since it does… As darkness once again threatened my vision, I fought it back with sheer willpower. De-transforming, to get even the little amount of energy back that one does when going back to their original form, I tried to stand-up. Swaying in the moonlight, I squinted at the ground in an attempt to make it stay still. I hope the Scouts don’t wake-up any time soon, I need time to stagger out of here. As a moan alerted me to the danger of being here when the Scouts did wake-up, I quickly shook my head to get everything back in the right place. Walking, or rather staggering, down the steps of the Temple, I reflected on what I had learned about my past life. The years drifted back a thousand times…
