Mintaka had been watching Antiope train for almost thirty minutes now. It wasn't unusual for the origami senshi to find the mantis and just watch her. Sometimes she would join, just to practice the movements Antiope showed her for the crane but in general?
She just liked watching her friend do her thing.
"Have you gone to your homeworld Antiope?" She asked from her spot, since homeworlds seemed to be big with Senshi's and wondered what Antiope thought of them.
Knowing the girl, she probably didn't care much about it...or maybe she could? That'd be fun, if Antiope was interested in homeworlds. She wondered what her friends looked like? Maybe it'd be similar to hers? Hmmmm....

Antiope worked best when she had an audience. Especially when it was an adoring audience. Perhaps it was the pressure of needing to perform that would push the already determined senshi into maintaining even more crisp movements.
Of course, she'd never say anything acknowledging this as she trained. The Mantis Senshi probably wasn't even aware that this was a fact. All she knew was she needed to perfect her motions for even more effective strikes whenever she fought again.
It would probably be no surprise when the Mantis Senshi's response was "What nonsense are you babbling about today, Minny?"
If one thing had ever been evident, it was the fact that the martial artist was not exactly "plugged in" with the latest and greatest Senshi innovations.

"It's not nonsense my dear Watson." Mintaka smiled at the mantis senshi, waving her hand with the intention of Antiope moving closer to her.
"I asked if you have ever been to your homeworld? The planet where your senshi power presides from? The rock out in space that is specifically made for you? Well not made, morel like waiting for you?" Mintaka tilted her head the other way.
"I've been to mine? I was just wondering if you ever went to yours?" Or maybe Antiope wasn't interested....if that was the case, perhaps Antiope should take a visit with Minny to her planet.

Antiope's body had been tense due to her concentration. However, when she caught a glimpse of Mintaka's gesture, her body came to a relaxed form before she wandered over.
Bringing both hands together so that her sleeves pressed together to hide the appendages, the dark haired senshi considered the Origami senshi's explanation.
"Aren't there only eight planets?" Antiope might not have been the smartest bug out there, but school had made sure to stomp that fact into her brain.
With a tilt of her head, she added "Are you sure you've been there? Or were you dreaming, Minny? I am pretty sure you were dreaming!"

Mintaka stared at Antiope, her head tilting again.
Then she got up and put her hands on Antiope's shoulders.
"Antiope, there is a whole universe out there of planets. With all sorts of worlds for the senshi's and even wonders for the knights."
she paused.
"Wanna see mine? I can prove it's not a dream...oh but that is...if you aren't well..." She smiled, "Afraid of space travel or something...?"

The girl's body tensed again when a hand was upon her shoulder. She might have been in what seemed like a resting position, but the Mantis Senshi had instincts which made her ready to fight within a few moments.
"Seriously... you are speaking nonsense..."
The explanations were not seeming to hit home, but one stray comment seemed to strike a cord with the short girl.
"I do not fear a damned thing!"
With that the girl took a step back, away from Mintaka's hand. Turning her nose away, it was clear she had taken offense to such a simple accusation.

"I can't believe you haven't looked into the senshi database. gotten at least the basics?" Mintaka pulled out her phone and smiled, "I'm not trying to be rude, but I was hoping that it would provoke you into taking my little challenge."
And look at Antiope doing the highest of high class snob nose upturn. It almost made Mintaka proud and just a bit concieted. Maybe Antiope was picking up something from herself or something.
"Good good! if that's the case then, here, All I need to do is..." She put in the coordinates for her planet on her phone, pressing the home button and reaching to grip the Mantis senshi's sleeve. "And we're off?" A circle of brightness surrounded them, as they moved from earth, through space to the small asteroid planet that was Mintaka.
Where there was once city and lights, was replaced with overgrown bamboo, thick green grass and the remains of the ancient asian city that was the only habital town on the planet. Two suns rose together, as there was a loud croaking and call from the Cranes and Frogs that inhibited her land.
"Wow, that went better then expected." Mintaka made a whew sound, "Welcome to Mintaka!"

"Senshi what-now?"
Her head turned briefly back to see a phone before Mintaka grasped onto her sleeve. However, there wasn't enough time to retaliate against the blatant disrespect for her uniform. Instead a light enveloped them, causing the Mantis Senshi's already pinched eyes to pinch even tighter.
The first thing she heard was a low croaking sound.
Wherever they were, Antiope was soon enough pulling her arm back so that Mintaka was no longer hanging off of her sleeve. Her stance shifted to something more defensive, her knees crouching slightly and her arms held before her as she looked about. Her hands hidden behind the floppy sleeves eventually pointed up to the suns, dotting each of them as she silently counted them.
Rather than accept that space travel was possible, the Mantis Senshi instead asked "...what is that you used?"

"Senshi phone!" she held it out for the other senshi to take a gander at, "My guardian cat gave it to me before he high tailed it to the hills. He's not the type to stick around I think..." She blinked and then looked around.
"This doesn't weird you out? Especially since you seemed so in denial about it?" She blinked and moved to touch some of the rubble. "I suppose this was meant to be my home long long long ago."
If she wasn't, or hadn't been born on earth, then it would be here.

"Senshi phone...?"
She definitely was a bit behind in the Senshi knowledge department, but it wasn't an issue, even now. Mintaka had just told her how to get one, so later on she could play around with whatever caused it to do whatever it had just done now.
As her senshi companion prompted her, the foreigner glanced over the landscape again. Once more, her sleeved hands seemed to dot the two suns as she once more silently counted them. "...Well... there's two suns... but that's all that I see that is odd. It's just like a Kung Fu movie if you ask me!"
She sauntered over to a patch of bamboo, and rather abruptly gave it a soft kick. "It's just like Earth... so I don't have a reason to be weirded out. You said space... I was thinking of craters and dirt."
Lifting a sleeve up to scratch at her chin, Antiope asked "How old are you, Minny?"

"We'll have to find you a guardian cat to give you one!" Mintaka was sort of piecing together the reason that her friend didn't have one was because the guardian cat didn't give her one. Maybe because it didn't want too or didn't have one? She wondered.
"It is really?" She laughed and looked around, "Here come this way, the palace is still mostly intact, so we can take a walk around there. We might even see her!" her as in the former Mintaka, the past Mintaka. The empress of the palace.
"Oh like the moon? I haven't been to the moon kingdom, so it's a lot different then craters and dirt..." She hummed and then sighed, "I didn't think worlds exsisted anywhere else, so coming here was a big shock. And not at the same time. You are actually the first to visit with me you know? I promised many people but...You are the first." Remarque and Zinkenite and Aurostibite were the few she could think of right off the top of her head.
"Um, I am 18 years old?" Mintaka blinked, "Why do you ask?"

"You mean a weird talking cat?" There was a pause for Antiope to point to her own forehead. "The one with that star on the head?"
The bamboo she had kicked seemed rather sturdy, as bamboo should be. Satisfied that it could serve for some sort of training, the girl took on another defensive stance before she started to practically smack the innocent plant a few times.
She only got a few hits in before she had to ask "...there is a kingdom... on the moon?" Considering she was now on an asteroid, this fact did not seem to wow her in any particular manner. The girl simply rolled her shoulders for a shrug, then resumed her workout.
The mention of an age once more got the girl to pause in her exercise, but this time she straightened up again.
With a tilt of her head, she asked "How could this be meant as your home 'long long long ago' if you are only 18 years old? This place looks really old... so how... does that work?"

"Yeah! That's what I am talking about. The one that woke me was Abel, the one who helped me with my upgrade and the one I talk to the most is *********." Mintaka smiled, "********* really adorable, but she's got a lot of her work cut out for her. I hear she's paired up with a interesting princess-" ANYWAYS....
"Are you beating up the bamboo of my planet?" Mintaka had started to clear rubble from the path to her to the palace, placing it in a pile off to the side. "There is! That's where the Silver Queen? White Queen? Serenity. She and apparently the prince of Earth are the reason the world and senshi and negaverse are at war.
Her question startled her for a moment, but she didn't even have to wait before the appariation of her past self appeared, walking towards them in a ghostly see through sort of thing.
"Oh, there she is..." And when Mintaka pointed her out for Antiope, it was like looking into a mirror. A more ornate korean like doll, but none the less, the resemblance was striking. "She is Mintaka..."
The memory of her didn't talk or see them, just moved along the rubble and debris as if it still lived in the palace of ages past.
"Because, I think we...are reincarnations. of the planet or the people. or something like that." Mintaka shrugged, following after the memory of her past self slowly.

There was too much talk of royalty to really keep Antiope's interests. It didn't take long for the short girl to give up pondering on the notion of timelines and to resume her exercises with the bamboo.
"Bamboo is strong... it is a good way to rate one's strength..."
Punch, punch, punch, and another punch had been swung before Mintaka started spouting out more nonsense again. Turning to look to the other senshi, she found her pointing to...
...nothing.
"Um.... nothing's there, Minny!" Lifting a sleeve covered hand, she scratched at the top of her head. Perhaps they were in space, but it was difficult to rate the sanity of her companion at this point.

"Antiope." Mintaka's tone took a certain well...tone. One that Anti was sure to have heard before. All prim and lady like and stiff.
"You can't see her?" Mintaka blinked, and then moved to follow the past self. Stepping like she did into the palace. Wood creaked, with the weight it hadn't felt in thousand of years.
"Are you sure? She's right there!"
