The Family from Saturn

It was dark down in the ruined hideout down at D-point. Queen Beryl's old haunt hadn't seen visitors in a long time. Columns had topped over onto the cold stone ground. The four towering stone candlesticks that were behind the Queen's mighty throne still stood were they were. The Throne was still intact save for the little bit of dust on the seat and on the hand rests. Dust and dirt covered everything in the caverns below the north pole. How could it not? Who would come back here after Beryl's demise? All her former subjects that survived their encounters with Sailor Moon and her Sailor Senshi had long since retreated away from the planet. It has remained that way past the earth's battles with the Makaiju, Death Phantom, Death Busters, Queen Nehellenia and Galaxia. Three years of silence and darkness reigned in this old base. That is until now.

Seven figures teleported into the old base near the throne. A loud thud echoed the halls as one of them teleported next to a broken column and hit his foot.

"OW! Dammit!" exclaimed one of the figures in his deep gravely voice.

"Ha!Ha! Peridot hurt himself again!" chuckled one of the feminine figures.

"He never was good at making portals...It makes one wonder if he's really our brother, doesn't it Opal?" laughed a slightly lower pitched feminine voice.

"Screw you both! I can't teleport well when I can't see where the hell I'm going!" snapped Peridot.

"I apologize for the lack of light, Master Peridot. Allow me to remedy that." said one of the manlier voices.

The man that spoke snapped his fingers and the lights near the throne flickered on.

"Ah! Much better.."muttered one of the youthful sounding figures standing to the left of the Beryl's old throne.

The man that spoke had on purple light armor and short slightly spiky black hair. The young man's pale gray eyes could pierce through the hearts of many a woman. He was only five foot three at most and had a slender body type. The youth was pale and his skin was fair. From his thin black eyebrows to his short slightly pointy nose, the young man was the epitome of Bishounen.

The young man surveyed the surroundings for a moment before he turned his gaze to the large muscular man next to him.

"Isn't much left is there, Sardonyx?"

The man he called Sardonyx was a six foot tall behemoth of a man in heavy purple armor. The man's whole body was covered in armor save for his head. His short brown hair was styled like the man next to him. A long deep scar went down from under his right useless eye down to the bottom of his jaw. He could see with the black left eye. A trimmed chestnut brown goatee grew under his cleft chin.

Sardonyx shook his head as he too scanned his surroundings.

"You're not kidding Topaz. The place is in poor shape. It's a wonder it hasn't collapsed in on itself."

"If it's such poor shape can't we go someplace else?" muttered one of the men to the far right of the room next to a broken column.

Sardonyx and Topaz turned their gaze at their companion.

The man was not as tall as Sardonyx but he was at least four inches taller then Topaz. His jet black hair was slightly long and unkempt. From his unshaven face to the slight wrinkles on his face most humans would guess this man to be in his thirties. Some women would have found the rugged fellow handsome if it weren't for his hooked nose. He was a toned like Topaz but his frame was less slender. His medium armor was olive green and covered his whole body save for his hands and head. "If this is where Mother wishes to stay then this is where we shall stay, Peridot." snarled Sardonyx.

Peridot grumbled as he sat down on the floor and rubbed his poor foot. He heard a pair of foot steps come toward him. He didn't look up until two sets of armored feet came into his view. His eyes shot up and a scowl appeared on his face.

"What to you two want?!"

The pair were twins. One of them was a boy, the other a girl. They looked so alike that the boy had to put his hair in a pony tail so everyone could tell them apart. They both had long blonde hair and dark blue eyes. The pair were pale and had fair complexions. From their heart shaped red lips to their short nose the two were the pinnacle of beauty. Both of them wore the same light blue colored light armor. The black embroidered belt that wrapped around the pair's slender waists had a spiked whip attached to them.

The male twin snickered and turned to speak to his female counterpart.

"Hey, Opal. I think Peridot is afraid of a cave-in."

She chuckled.

"I think you're right Agate. I sure would hate to have his poor portal making skills if I needed to escape.."

Peridot left eye twitched in anger. He hated the twins. He didn't care if they were his cousins or not. They always picked on him ever since they came out of their mother's womb. He said nothing as he knew it would get him nowhere. His mother would always side with them over him. No matter the context. His eyes fell on Beryl's throne. Peridot's mother had already sat herself on the throne.

His mother was beautiful and youthful looking despite her age. Her black shoulder length hair swayed as she moved her head. Grey bags had formed under her purple eyes. Her nose like her mouth was small. Unlike Peridot and the others she didn't wear armor. She wore a long white gown with pearls embroidering the sleeves. The gown didn't cover her cleavage much. Peridot winced every time she bent down for fear that she might pop out of her dress. She didn't have any shoes to cover her small dainty feet.

Peridot's mother placed her head in her hands.

"My boy..my poor, poor boy.." she cried.

Peridot sighed in annoyance.

"We all miss my younger brother Heliot, but don't you think it's time to move past it. I mean it's been..What? More then thousand years ago?!"

His mother removed her hands from her head. She gave her son a venomous stare.

"I will not move on! I cannot! If it weren't for..that witch Serenity my son would be.."

She balled her left hand into a fist and banged the throne's armrest.

"Heliot would be the king of Saturn! Only he could succeed me!"

Peridot's left eye again twitched. He was more then slightly insulted that his mother thought his dead younger brother would be a better choice for ruler then him. In fact it pissed him off, but the hell was he going to say to her. His mother was related to the queen of the Saturn kingdom and a master of destruction magic. If she wanted to she could erase him from existence. Peridot loved but feared his mother. Just as he feared his cousin Sailor Saturn. He heard tales from off-earth Youma about her, and he wanted no quarrel with her.

Footsteps echoed in the hall as the only unidentified figure in the room walked over to Peridot's mother's side. The figure was a man in his early twenties with short blonde cropped hair. He didn't wear armor like most of the others, instead he wore a gray military uniform with red trim and boots. His uniform was a little tattered and pieces of clear crystal fragments were stuck on his shoulders.

"Do not fret, Lady Garnet. If everything goes to plan, your son will back in your arms and your kingdom restored.." he said as he placed his white gloved hands on Peridot's mother's right hand.

Garnet took the man's hand and smiled.

"Yes..soon my son will be at my side..I knew I could trust you..Jadeite."

Jadeite bowed his head as he backed away from the throne.

"My lady, I should be thanking you. For if it wasn't for you I would still be trapped in Eternal Sleep.."

Peridot shot a glare at Jadeite. He hated that man. Hell he hated everyone in the room. Because of them his mother wasn't attempting to move forward. All these fools were doing was filling her up with false hope and promises. There was no way to bring her son back. Not even with the Silver Crystal. It has been too long ago. He hated what this whole mess was turning his mother into. He loved her to death. Well, at least Peridot loved the women she was before this. Back when she didn't see him as anything but a failure. There was nothing further he could do except play along with these delusions.

Garnet shifted her gaze toward her nephew Topaz.

"Does Master Satoru know where we are?"

Topaz smiled and nodded.

"Yes, my lady. He and his student Deshi are in route. They told me that they should be at your side by the hour."

Garnet clapped her hands and laughed.

"Good, Good. I must thank Master Satoru when he arrives. It is because of him we know how to bring Heliot back from the dead.."

Everyone in the room cheered a hurray for Satoru. Everyone but Peridot. His mind was elsewhere. He didn't trust Satoru. Especially since he won't tell anyone but his mother his plan. He wasn't the type of person to follow anyone blindly like most of his family. After hearing stories about Wiseman and Diamond he was especially cautious of men like Jadeite and Satoru. What was their aim in reviving a dead child? The hell did they have to gain from it? Peridot sighed in frustration. He had no definitive proof against them so he could do nothing. He would play along...for now.

Garnet leaned her back against the throne.

"Soon, my son will be back where he belongs and then we the true Kingdom of Saturn will return. With my son as king!"

"Hail to the king of Saturn!" shouted everyone in the room.

Garnet laughed.

"Now..I have work for all of you. Are you ready for your assignments?"

Topaz, Sardonyx, Lapis, Lazuli and Jadeite bowed to Lady Garnet.

"Yes, I hear and obey!" they shouted.

Peridot slowly stood up and bowed as well.

"I hear and obey.." he grumbled.

"According to Master Satoru we will need a lot of energy to complete the ritual. Jadeite, Opal, and Agate I need all of you to go out and gather as much energy from the humans as you can." said Lady Garnet.

The three bowed low.

"As you command, my lady." they said.

Peridot chuckled to himself.

'Yes, send Jadeite to gather energy..I hear he's really good at that. He's so good he gets his ass kicked every time by fourteen year old girls in sailor fuku.' he thought.

Granted he was aware that those girls were the most powerful warriors in the universe but one had to admit to the absurdity of that concept.

Garnet turned her attention to Topaz.

"Topaz, I want you and Peridot to go around Tokyo and look for my son's host."

Peridot gave his mother a perplexed look.

"H-Host?! B-But he died before the Moon Kingdom fell?! How can he have a host?"

Garnet shot her son a angry glare.

"Satoru told me he has a host somewhere in the city! His sources are never wrong! Are you questioning me?!"

Peridot backed away and shook his head.

"No...mother."

Garnet returned her attention back to Topaz.

"I want the two of you to scour the city of Tokyo for my son's host. Will you accept this assignment?"

Topaz and Peridot bowed.

"Yes, my lady." the shouted.

Sardonyx gave Peridot a dirty look.

"My lady, I don't mean to question..but wouldn't I be better suited to this mission then Peridot?"

Garnet chuckled.

"You would but I need someone competent to guard me."

Peridot left eye again twitched. Another insult thrown at him.

'It's not mother talking, it's the grief..' he reminded himself over and over again.

Peridot brought his gaze to his mother's face.

"Will Heliot's..host look like him?"

Garnet shook her head.

"He will not...I know not what he looks like."

Peridot's left eye once again twitched.

'Then how the hell am I going to find him?!' he thought.

"M-Mother, there are a lot of children on this planet. How am I going to even attempt this quest if we don't know what he looks like?"asked Peridot as calmly as he possibly could.

Garnet laughed.

"Heliot's host will have the same noble presence as he did. He will enjoy the finer things in life. He should be of higher stock. A prince..or merchant's son perhaps!"

Peridot inwardly groaned.

'Bullshit...you have no clue where he is or what he looks like! Your just making this up!'

"I-I shall take your advice to heart, Mother.." said Peridot.

Garnet nodded.

"See that you do. Now away with all of you. We have much to do!"

Everyone save for Sardonyx and Garnet again bowed. With a snap of their fingers Jadeite, Topaz, Opal and Agate created black portals and left. Peridot created a portal of his own. He moved to leave but stopped. He turned to look at his mother.

"I'm going mother. I..Love you.."

"Don't fail me, Peridot..My son's life depends on you." she said.

Peridot opened his mouth to say something else but his mother turned to talk with Sardonyx. A sad sigh escaped his lips as he turned back towards his portal. He walked forward into his portal. Peridot didn't know how strong the drinks on this planet were on this planet, but he was quite sure he was going to need the strongest beverage he could get. He disappeared into the black void leaving his Mother and Sardonyx behind.

If you've read my other stuff, you know I have the nasty habit of starting stuff and not completing it. I'm hoping to remedy that. I'm going to try and write a chapter a week. Please write reviews if you have any criticism or advice to give me. I'm honestly trying to hone my craft in between writing this for fun and my book for serious. Oh! Before I forget! I don't own the character from sailor moon or Dbz. So don't sue me! Thank you for reading!
