Chapter 5 - The new enemy to the senshi

---------

The falcon shaped being roared in front of Taron. It's talons swayed fiercely as it's wings beat mightily against the wind. Taron's hair went flying in all directions.

"Good birdie.." He said, jokingly. To this, the falcon snapped it's head at him. He brought up his staff threateningly.

"You dare touch me and I shall destroy you with this...this controls that thing around your neck...Pluto never knew of this power because she was never hungry enough for the power to use it..but it's here...as is the power to control time and space..another power that Pluto never bothered to use." Taron said, his face contorted with anger and disgust.

"I don't understand." The girl said. "Why do you keep going after her? Are you in love with her?" The girl said jealously.

All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a loud sound could be heard. The girl, feeling a sudden rush of pain, fell to the floor beneath the steps.

She looked up at Taron, whose hand was not grasping the staff anymore, but had come out of nowhere to her face. She brought her hand up to her lip, which was starting to feel warm and wet. She pulled her hand away and looked at it, a maroon liquid on the surface of her soft fingers.

"How dare you hit me!" The girl retorted, still laying on the ground.

"How DARE I?" Taron answered, his voice hinted, for the first time, a light and airy tone.

"Uh..I didn't mean.." The girl stuttered, fear reaching her voice and eyes.

"You have the nerve to ask me if I'm in love with Pluto..and then you don't think you're going to be punished for such an action?" Taron said. He walked down to her and brought his hand up again.

"Ah, Umbra...but as you are my favorite girl in the whole world, I'll forgive you this once." He said with false sincerity in his voice.

He sent the falcon off without another word. "Go get the senshi..." He whispered as it flew into the human realm.

"Why don't you just go get them yourself, Taron?" Umbra asked with concern. "You know what they are capable of."

"Yes, Umbra...I know...but right now, they are at their most infantile stage...and it would be pointless for me to take them out now...look at them in the future...and how weak they are, even then. And they were simple to get rid of...think of how they would be now..I have no doubt that my falcon can get rid of them."
