Senshi Fukkátsu



Picture by Michael Teh



Imagine a world where the Senshi were born earlier than we remember. Also imagine they fought against The Dark Kingdom and Queen Beryl but the final battle did not take place at the North Pole. It took place in Jusenkyou. Also Beryl wasn't destroyed...only banished to the far ends of the universe. The Senshi were weak as they banished Beryl and didn't notice her final act of revenge upon being defeated. Black energy flew from her hands before she was banished. The Senshi didn't see it coming and it slammed into them coursing pain through them and freezing their muscles in place. The ground began absorbing the energy but being as Jusenkyou is magical it reacted and exploded sending the Senshi flying in all directions. Luna and Artemis were to late as they watched in horror the Senshi fly, paralyzed, and land...each with a splash into a pool. The Guide who had been cowering came out seeing the battle over. He explained about the cursed pools of Jusenkyou to Luna and Artemis. The last few bubbles of air escaped from the Senshi's five resting places.
Five pools were cursed that day.....Yueiichuan, Xingshuiiichuan, Huoxingiichuan, Xingmuiichuan, and Xingxiaoiichuan. A very tragic story. Then to the surpise of all there...even the Guide those five pools suddenly began to glow brightly white and the Senshi's bodies disappeared from the bottoms. One the surface of each pool appeared each of the Senshi's respective symbols which glowed brighter than the white and then they shot up at the sky in columns of pure chi. Once up the columns faded and from the ground the observers watched as the five now sphere floated up higher and higher into space and suddenly a ghost like image appears for a moment with the spheres and then both faded. It was a symbol. The symbol of "Rebirth". The Senshi would be reborn again. But how? And would they been reborn before Beryl returned?
It is ten years later and a father and son enter Jusenkyou to train. The Guide begins to talk to them and tries to explain that the training grounds are too dangerous to train on. The father and son ignore him and leap up onto the poled and begins to attack each other in aerial combat. The Guide continues and suddenly the father, a portly man with a bald head covered by a blue bandana and wearing glasses, is knocked into a pool by his son. Emerging moment later is a huge panda. The young boy, wearing the same white gi as his father and with black hair held back in a ponytail, listens to the Guide's explanation and the panda attack and knocks the young boy through the air into another pool. Emerging from that one is a young girl with long blonde hair in pigtails with what look like "meatballs" from where the pigtails begins. She is wearing a white gi like the boy was and gets to the shore of the pool and climbs out and sits. The Guide rushes over and explains the pool to the girl who looks into the pool...blinks....and then begins to cry.....LOUDLY!
