They sat together in young Tsukino’s living room. All of them dared not to move or even to have their eyes meet. Finally, Usagi turned her face to look at all the others. “How different from everything else can this be? We’ve defeated other daemons before. These Youma can be no different.” She smiled weakly. Amy raised her head, looked up at the girl and shrugged before facing the floor again. Mina nodded in agreement with Usagi. “We’ve been warned… we can prepare.”
Finally, Lita stood up. She looked at the other Scouts and her face bore markings of disgust. “Are we seriously considering even a loss? Should we not rise up to meet the challenge? We’ve defeated plenty of these before!” The others looked in between one another in nervous silence. Rei smirked a little bit and nodded. “She’s right you know, girls? There’s no way we can go headlong into battle thinking that the war’s already lost. If we did that, we might as well throw our hands in the air and call it quits. There’s no way for us to possibly win if all we can see is loss.”
“And if the Youma do prove to be a challenge?” Amy spoke at last.
“Simple! We fight harder!” Lita never gave much chance for the others to reply as well. The energy in the room had begun to shift. From cold hopelessness, there seemed to be a blazing fire starting in their hearts. Looking at each of them in turn, they searched for approval and found it, acceptance within one another. Usagi was the first. She stretched out her hand towards the centre of the group. “Girls… you’re right. There’s no way we can back down now. The world’s counting on us. This is much greater than us. We have to go… are you with me?” Rei and Lita didn’t wait for a second calling and joined in. Mina did as well and Amy well, she saw no choice but to do so too.
“Let’s fight!”

It had been a hard road; they fought challenges, one after the other and only just barely pulled through. They were drained, tired but still they fought on. The tree was just ahead and there was no way for them to turn back. Finally, they reached the Tree’s resting place and stood for a moment admiring its great length, majesty and terrible size. For long moments they stood there in silence before looking to one another.
Usagi nodded and took a few steps forward. Mina followed and afterwards so did Amy, even if rather hesitant. “Your thoughts betray you…” She flinched. “Who said that?!” She turned and faced only Lita and Rei. It hadn’t been any of them; they even looked as puzzled as she did. Usagi spun to see the reason of the sudden commotion from within the group and saw nothing. They were alone still, amidst the roots of the Doom Tree who stretched out enormous before them.
