Torture

A legend is told of a terrible incident that led two royal planets into war. The legend began on the planet of Jupiter, on one of the more normal days of the year. All creatures went through normal routines of finding food and protecting themselves as well as their young. Well, as strange as it may sound, the people of Jupiter were creatures themselves. They were all similar in appearance: brown hair, blue eyes, tall, and muscular. The women were muscular as well, though their muscles were not as pronounced as the men's. There was an exception to all having blue eyes, and it was only within the royal family. Queen Matilda and her young daughter had eyes a dazzling emerald green color. Throughout the life of Jovians, they begin to adapt to nature in order to survive. All the people had learned to adapt in this way, the royals were no exception. When in water, their skin would take the appearance and texture of scales along their bodies and gills would manifest at their necks and ribcages. When in the lands of volcanic fire, their skin would feel as rough as sand paper and caluses would form on the palms of their hands as well as their feet.

The most interesting trait, however, is their forms when they are out in nature as well as indoors. Jovians, from a distance, had a close resemblance to a lizard. Their skin was about an inch thick. The forest green coloring was near transparent, giving the people of Jupiter the hue of a soft green, much like a leaf of a newly-grown tree. Soft features defined by a squared off jaw for the men and a more heart-shaped definition to the womens' jaw bones. Thick auburn hair tied back in a low ponytail for the men and a high-arched ponytail for the women. The low ponytails signified bravery, courage, and honor. High-arched ponytails signified strength, loyalty, and respect. They had defined abdomens and backs. The toned torsos led down to equally toned legs. All these factors, together, made up the Jovian's physical appearance. When not in this form, they and every other planet's people, looked like regular human beings.

Even with all of this physical strength and endurance, it still wasn't enough to fend off invaders that swept through the village. Aircrafts that were looking for something, or someone specific. The aircraft was small in size and shape. It looked like it held a maximum of two or three persons.

The queen and her young daughter were in pinned from all around. Four aircrafts surrounded them from all directions. Matilda stepped in front of her daughter, hoping to protect her. One glimpse at the side of one of the aircrafts made the queen growl as she yelled in seemingly perfect English, "Mercurians! What are you doing here? And why are you terrorizing my people?"

The windshield cleared to show a man with brown hair and blue eyes dressed in a scientist coat and uniform, "Why, I'm here for a simple negotiation. I simply want to do some research and tests."

Matilda's eyes narrowed, "Negotiation, huh? What is there to negotiate? If you want plant and soil samples then take them, there is no need for such ruckus."

"Oh no, not tests on the natural fertilization on Jupiter."

Tilting her head she looked at the other aircrafts for a split second then looked back at the man, "Then what?"

The man flashed an evil grin toward the Jupiterian queen, "Why, tests on that little 3 year-old of course! Get her!" A net shot from an aircraft and entangled the small child.

Matilda grabbed onto the net before it lifted off, "No! Let her go right now! I never consented to this!" She opened her hand, extending long blades for her fingernails and tried slashing the net, only to be shocked and thrown backwards. She sat up shakily then looked towards her daughter as a net entangled around her as well, "Mako...soe quino sen. Toki?"

Mako looked at her mother as she tried speaking calmly in Jovian, "Mama...owai no? Shinati?"

Matilda felt helpless as the small child looked at her, eyes filled with fear, then nodded.

The Mercurian male watched this scene then looked at Matilda, "What were you saying to her?"

The queen looked at the man and glared at him, "I told her everything would be alright. She asked where we are going and also asked if it was a trip and I said yes. If you touch one hair on her head, I swear on my life, I will rip you apart with my bare hands."

The man simply grinned evilly then ordered the men to head back to Mercury.

*~Back on Mercury~*

The men tossed the two into a glass chamber. Matilda held onto her daughter tightly and rubbed her back whispering soothing words to her. She looked around the chamber and saw that the glass was so thick that not even they could break through it. Silently cursing to herself, she looked down to her small child and kissed the top of her head, "Soe quino sen, Mako-ken."

The small girl looked up into her mother's green eyes and saw fear that was never present. Mako was getting scared, "Mama," she said placing her small hands on her mother's abdomen.

Matilda smiled sadly at her daughter's attempt to cheer her up, "Shai netu, Makoto."

The young girl's eyes opened wide then tears slid down her face as the men came in and tore her mother away from her, "Mama! Shi sone! Mama!" That was the last thing Makoto ever got to say to her mother.

She was locked in the glass prison as she was held in the air by restraints, forced to watch the men torture her mother. Her eyes widened when they saw them burning her, electrocuting her, and even freezing her to see how fast the adaptation process is. She screamed as loud as she possibly could to try to get them to stop and leave her alone...but no one could hear. She saw a man with a needle filled with, what looked to be...Mercurian blood. As soon as the blood was injected, her mother thrashed around as her muscles began to boil and burn under her skin. The thrashing lasted for a few seconds, then her movements stopped completely. Makoto cried then finally screamed, her eyes glowing green as the glass prison shattered and the wind thrashing all around her. She lifted her hand then pointed it at the scientists and staff around, causing glass shards to become embedded deep in the skin piercing their hearts. When the scientists were dead, she floated down to the floor then ran over towards her mother.

Her mother was bound to cuffs against a wall, her body limp. Makoto unlocked the cuffs, her mother falling to the floor, unmoving. Makoto shook her mother many times, desperately trying to wake her up, but to no avail. She started to cry until she heard her name barely whispered, "Ma...ko..."

She looked to her mother and saw the life slipping from her eyes, "Mama...fori genai...kote Mama...kote." She began crying, "Shai netu...Mama...shai...netu."

Her mother gently rubbed her cheek then smiled weakly, "Shai...netu...sa...Mako..." Her hand dropped to the ground, body going limp, as she slowly passed away. Makoto watched as her mother drew her last breath then exhaled, falling into a deep slumber. She stood up then shakily began walking out of the laboratory. She stood at the door looking out as a storm billowed in and lightning struck down. Taking one look back into the laboratory, she saw what looked to be a small child with shoulder-length blue hair, holding a teddy bear with a pacifier in her mouth. Wide blue eyes looked straight at her as if asking either what happened or how could she do this. Makoto glared at the girl, her emerald eyes flared and her face streaked with tears, "Escriota! Noreten guanto...I...will...kill...all...Mercurians!"

The girl's eyes widened as she attempted to call out to the girl, only to see a bright flash of lightning blind her. As soon as the light had cleared, she looked up to look at the girl...but she was long gone.

A/N: I do not own Sailor Moon or any of the characters. The language in this is not any words I looked up to mean anything. They are completely made up and I will be translating to help you know what is being said.

Translation:

Soe quino sen = It's going to be alright.

Toki? = Okay?

Owai no? = Where are we going?

Shinai? = On a trip?

-ken = It is what the mothers on Jupiter would say at the end of their child's name. It simply just stands as meaning she is her child.

Shai netu / Shai netu sa. = I love you / I love you too.

Shi sone! = Don't go!

Fori genai = You can't die

Kote = please

Escriota! = Murderers!

Noreten guanto = I swear on my life

And there you have it. Hope you all like it. R&R plz. XD
