Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nailah was angry, Ubasti was angry. There was simply no other way to put it, she was pissed off. Recent events had left her, not only emotionally drained, but also physically.

Merlinite’s corruption had come as an unwelcomed surprised but it had opened her eyes to who the Negaverse truly were. Their true colors had been shown and Ubasti couldn’t go back to being blind, not anymore. She couldn’t understand why any other sensible senshi, dark mirror or not, would want to work with such insane people. No, they weren’t even people. They were monsters, things made from darkness and whatever else lurked deep within the shadows. They were creatures of hate and malice, destruction and disaster. How Dennis had ended up with them she had no idea, he was so unlike them.

As if things couldn’t get any worst, she’d been kidnapped and forced to fight other people by some crazy king. Ubasti would have been more than happy to be placed into a ring with some Negaverse agent at that moment, but fighting shadows was much more important than pummeling an agent. She’d come out battered and bruised, her father had had to dive her to the hospital and the police had been called. She’d told them she was attacked and they believed her, but her father was dubious. Not that she could tell him what had really happened; he’d think she was crazy.

She was just recovering now, in her soft bed starring out the window with a half open abandoned book at her side. She had a broken arm and quite a few bruises, but no permanent damage that would stop her from doing her duty as a dark mirror. Still, now she felt the urge to move out, she couldn’t’ stay at her grand fathers any longer if she planned on becoming much more involved with Ubasti’s business. Too many questions were going to be asked and she couldn’t keep lying. Plus, she didn’t want anything to happen to her family.

Tears threatened to spill but she held them back furiously, Nailah hated crying when she was angry. She needed a plan, needed to be stronger. Perhaps she’d have a talk with Mintaka again. Though the older senshi’s love for Negaverse didn’t endear her to Ubasti, perhaps she’d have to seek out some external source. Nailah didn’t see herself having a choice, the dark mirror senshi were much to peppered about for her taste. They needed to be together, united… Where was this so called princess Mintaka had spoken about? Shouldn’t she be here to lead them? Another frustration to worry about, who exactly was leading the dark mirrors?

And where exactly was this prince?

Nailah starred up at the condo complex. The place had sixty stories and the floor her agent had picked out for her was the fifty fifth. This was kind of interesting considering they were on Fifty-Fifth Avenue. Her father had said he’d buy her a nice place downtown in case she did get interested in running his company, she’d accepted willingly. She’d told her mother she would try but that she also had other priorities that took precedent. Like her senshi duties for one which were much more interesting than what her father wanted her to do. It also meant else time with video games.

“Ready to go up?” The agent asked with a smile, Nailah nodded and followed her through the door held open by a doorman. The place was extremely nice and quite fancier than she had anticipated. Nailah looked around as she was led to the counter where they had to sign in; she wasn’t really listening to the real estate agent as she talked away. They continued to the elevators and up they went. Being in such a building had its pros and cons; she couldn’t come back injured as she pleased if she had to cross the front door with two people inside.

She decided there and then before they’d even reached her floor that this wouldn’t be the place for her. Nailah turned towards to woman and held her hand up.

“Listen, I know my father hired you but condos aren’t my thing. I need something quieter, larger, a house actually would be even better than this. Do you have anything?” she stared the woman down, to the point.

“Err, well yes I mean do you have any preferences? I know your father gave me quite a budget to go by. You could easily afford a home.”

“Good. I need something where I can transform the basement into a small apartment. Or if you have one that already has one then even better. A nice large backyard, I also don’t want prying eyes from neighbors. Let’s see. I need a bedroom, an office… Probably three extra rooms just in case.”

“In case of what?”

“Oh you know, family and friends want to stay over.” A complete lie, but the more Nailah thought about it the more she wanted the space. If she was going to mentor new dark mirror she also wanted a place t help them and train them. Sort of like a home base of sorts. Yes, that was the perfect idea!

“I think I might have something perfect for you. Do you have any more time today?”

“Oh yes, I have all the time today.”

She didn’t know who this prince and princess were, but someone had to take up the mantel. Someone needed to help the Dark Mirror; she didn’t want any others to be born like she had. Completely clueless to everything around her. The Negaverse and White Moon Court were assembled; well Nailah was going to make sure that the Dark Moon Court were just as prepared.

“Show me the house.”

In the end Nailah had opted to get large multigenerational home after a few attempts from the real estate agent. Her father hadn’t been pleased about the development, but she had promised him at least one visit per week to the company. That seemed to calm all the tempers down, as long as she gave her father small wins everything would be fine and he’d leave her alone. Moving had taken very little time and all that was left was a bit of renovating and shopping. At least, home base would be complete and she could move on to other parts of her plan.

Nailah had met what she considered her very first candidate to consider as a new dark mirror senshi. She’d met Olivia while fending off a youma, the youma had gotten away but she’d stuck around and had spoken to Olivia. They seemed to be getting along well enough which meant she might make a very good dark mirror. Nailah was a little nervous about the whole thing, she knew she would have to walk Olivia through the mirror but what happened after that was a complete mystery to her. Well, finding a guardian cat to get her name was probably the next step.

Then she had to mentor the girl and make sure she sent her well and good on her way. She wanted all the new dark mirrors that she brought through the mirror to be ready and prepared once they powered up. It was going to be a lot of hit and miss; maybe she’d even find the prince or princess while she was at it. They were certain to clear up a few things about the dark mirror. It would also help to bring them back together, another thing Ubasti needed to add to her growing to do list.

Yet there was still something bothering her, she still wanted to visit her planet. The only way to do that was… Purifying. Ubasti had heard the rumors that the dark mirror were able to purify to the white moon court. It was a scary thought, to think that senshi were abandoning the dark mirror court… And yet, Ubasti was intrigued by the whole thing. Maybe… Maybe she could purify and then one she had visited her planet could return to the dark moon court. She didn’t know if it was possible but the idea was still an interesting one.

Until then, Ubasti would hunt and cut down the youma to stop the Negaverse. She would seek out civilians in the hopes of finding some potential dark moon senshi and she would seek out the princes and princesses of the court. It was going to be a lot of work and a lot of time, but now that she had a proper home base Nailah was going to make it work. For now she would focus on renovations but keep tabs on Olivia, try and get her to walk into the mirror world with her and create a new dark mirror senshi.
