This is a teaser for an original fic I am thinking of writing.  Please let
me know if you want me to continue this.

	Naren uneashed a hail of photon beams, blasting one of the enemy fighters
into scrap.  It didn't make a difference -  the Krai had outnumbered her
Batallion at least twenty to one when they first attacked, and every Seraph
loss stretched the ratio further in their favor.  The Seraphs of this zone
would be annihilated in a very short amount of time, and the Krai would be
able to enslave the planets under their protection.

	"Naren, there's one on yAAAAGGHHH!!!!" 

	Naren's anger flared as she saw Chei's Synchro-Warrior explode.  She evaded
a shot by the fighter tailing her, and flew at the one that had killed her
friend.  A photon blade appeared in her synchro-warrior's hand, and she cut
the fighter in two.  Then, she felt a shot from a Krai fighter penetrate her
Synchro-Warrior's cockpit armor and burn though her abdomen.  The glowing
aura of white light that had surrounded the SW faded, and Naren struggled to
remain conscious.

	"Luminia... astral mode... nearest inhabited planet." the dying ace pilot
gasped.  "Find... one with... the potential."  The aura around the
Synchro-Warrior she was piloting flared briefly, and then faded as the mecha
disappeared from view.

	"Shoko... Toyozumi Shoko... Toyozumi Shoko!"

	Shoko walked up the snowed-over mountain path, ignoring the cold of the
winter night, inexplicably attracted by the voice in her head.  As she
progressed, the voice grew louder, and more desperate, and she began walking
faster, then jogging, then running at full pace.

	She stopped abruptly as she arrived at the top of the path and caught sight
of the damaged, silver-colored mecha lying on its back in a snowdrift with
its cockpit open.  Tentatively, she edged towards the open cockpit and
looked inside.

	She saw a young woman with green ponytailed hair, dressed in a yellow
bodysuit, who had what appeared to be silver light emnating from a wound in
her torso.  With great difficulty, the woman rose to her feet, and spoke to her.

	"I am Naren of the Seraph.  The Krai have defeated our force, and will come
to this planet.  I am dying, and you must inherit my power.  Please, use it
to save your world."

	Naren disappeared in a burst of silver light.  Then, Shoko screamed as
organic cables shot out of the cockpit and wrapped themselves around her
elbows and knees.  She felt herself pulled inside, and immersed in a strange
form of energy.  When it faded, her winter clothing had been replaced by a
dark blue bodysuit, and the mecha's cockpit had closed.

	"I welcome you, Toyozumi Shoko." came a distinctly feminine voice.

	"Wha... who are you?" Shoko stammered, obviously shaken by her experience.

	"I am Synchro-Warrior Luminia." the voice replied.  "And you are my new
commander."
