The Black Lady

Chapter 5 The First Steps

As the days passed after Tsukasa Kurenai obtained, and revived the Four Heavenly Kings. With ease, she hypnotized all four of them: Jadeite, Zoisite, Nephrite, and Kunzite. By manipulating the kings at her disposal, and thanks to some Tactical Analysis skills to make sure her plan did not go undetected by anyone associated with Silver Millennium.  Tsukasa was then able to use the Four Heavenly Kings to gain loads amounts of money by making them manipulate the wealthy from all over the world, and when she had enough money... Tsukasa was then able to afford and start her own company, this would be the first step start a secret organization to free the people of Earth from Silver Millennium. All of this would be taken place in Crystal Tokyo, right in Neo Queen Serenity's backyard without her knowing it. Tsukasa called it the company Akatsuki Foundation, which was ironic because the name Akatsuki means dawn or daybreak. Kind of the polar opposite of the moon and nighttime, which was also ironic because that is what Silver Millennium represents. However, there is another meaning for the name Akatsuki. Akatsuki also means red moon, or crimson moon to be exact. So whenever there is a blood moon it usually means it is a total lunar eclipse. In other words, this means that the Akatsuki Foundation will be "eclipsing" the Kingdom of Silver Millennium.

Anyways, after settling down in Crystal Tokyo Tsukasa rented a small building to act as the Akatsuki Foundation's headquarters. Although she did have enough money to afford a much larger and more advanced building. However, she decided not to because the thought of a brand new formed company buying or renting a much larger building would raise some suspicions from the people who are loyal to Neo Queen Serenity. Thus she decided to stick with a plan to start small for the while, and then grow bigger over time at a normal rate, and so far it has worked... For now. This was all thanks to Tsukasa's skills of business mastery and manipulation. As for the company itself... the Akatsuki Foundation was a fashion company. That's right we are talking about dresses, men's clothes, and other accessories. As for employment rates, Tsukasa's company was not such a bad job at that either. Thanks to the Four Heavenly Kings' efforts, of course, the Akatsuki company was attract plenty of customers, and employees.

Now as for Tsukasa Kurenai, or should I say, Black Lady. She was basically the head higher up. In other words, she was the CEO, chairwoman, and president all in one. For the Four Heavenly Kings, there were the lower higher-ups, giving Tsukasa time to train with her new abilities. Ever since absorbing the Legendary Silver Crystal's power... Black Lady had gained new abilities to generate black crystals and manipulate them. She can also use their magic, However despite these being dark elemental crystals. They are somewhat the polar opposite compared to the Malefic Black Crystal from Nemesis. Nyx theorized that due to being the Queen of Darkness, Black Lady used to control the Malefic Black Crystal, but now with the planet Nemesis destroyed... She can longer control Malefic Black Crystal. However, now that she is the vessel of the Gentle Darkness. The Queen of Darkness can control, and produce a new type of crystal.

Seeing that these new types of crystals seemed similar to Malefic Black Crystal in color, and shape Tsukasa decided to call it the Advantageous Dark Crystal. The reason why was according to Nyx, seeing that the crystals were created by Tsukasa herself, that meant they actually created by the Gentle Darkness. This can prove to be quite useful for the battle against the Light of Destruction. Yet besides training, there were a few more other things that she had to do as Black Lady. Such as feeding on people's pain and negative emotions while taking in their essence in order to get stronger and stay alive. Although she was immortal, Black Lady would usually do this in secret at her office because why not her employees seemed jaded and depressed already thanks to Neo Queen Serenity's rule. However, that did not mean Tsukasa liked to feed off people's misery, anger, and fear. No, she hated it. She hated it as much as she had hated the queen and her good-for-nothing husband. Who is pretty much only good at being captured and brainwashed.
