Hey mina-san! Listen, I'm really enjoying the idea of this story so far, and I have SO many ideas for it, but I DO NOT want it to last as NEAR as long as In Light and Darkness. That things just kept going and going --….SO any suggestions are welcome, but enjoy this while it lasts, because I'm going to make it very compact, but no where near choppy. Expect lengthy chapters (I'll try not to go over like…8 pages, I promise)
Anywho, enjoy!
Title: The Last Page
Chapter One: A Stolen Princess
Peacocks
Colorful.
Exotic.
Strange.
Original.
And Serenity found them extraordinary.
"Who on Lunaria could ever think up such a remarkable thing!" the princess squealed, taking the pictures in her hands, and holding them to her face as if she concentrated on them enough, they would come to life.
"No one obviously." Reipan, the Princess of Mars snapped. "Considering they come from Earth." Serenity stuck her tongue out at the brooding princess briefly, and then returned to the pictures.
"I knew you'd like them the moment I saw them." Yasmina, Princess of Venus, said in cheerful voice. She sat at Serenity's vanity, brushing her golden tresses carelessly.
"And how did you come about them Mina?" The Princess of Mercury, Amira, asked, briefly glancing up from her compact computer. Amira, or Ami, sat cross-legged on Serenity's bed, leaning back to back with the Princess of Jupiter, Aerlita, or more comfortably, Lita. Mina smiled up at her.
"My brother brought them to me. I guess his highness Prince Endymion almost caused their extinction." She mused.
"And how'd he manage that?" Rei asked, looking up from her nails. Mina giggled, "He was hunting those Duffle Gangers again, and he shot a large amount of them mistakenly." She explained. Serena queered a brow,
"So there aren't that many of them?" she asked. Mina shook her head.
"Nope, a rare breed." Serena nodded, eyes fixated on the pictures. As a few moments of silence passed, the girls mused to themselves. They'd been in Serenity's bedroom all day, forbidden to leave, because of the threats from some alliance across their borders. As an alarm sounded throughout the castle, the girls sighed with relief.
"Guess it's over then?" Rei questioned to Ami. Ami closed her computer, and removed her glasses, sighing with a smile.
"I truly hope so." She said, pulling herself up from her comfortable position and straightening her dress as she stood.
"Well, we won't know unless we take a peek!" Lita said excitedly, wanting nothing more than to get out of the now stuffy bedroom.
As Lita, Rei and Mina pilled up to leave, Ami stared off out the window she opened briefly,
"The day's gone…" she said, eyes fixated on the stars. This caught Serenity's attention, and she turned away from her pictures, setting them down on her vanity as she approached Ami, and the 3 bubbly girls exited her room.
"Yes…" Serenity mused. From the moon, there were never clouds out at night. You could always see the stars, "Hey look at that!" Serenity said, extending her arm to point at the flashing lights of a space ship flying past their atmosphere.
"Wonder who they are…" Ami said, eyes adorning an almost worried look.
"I will not marry!" The Prince of Vegeta bellowed over the intercom to his father's ship.
"You don't have a choice!" The King Responded, obviously exasperated from what would seem like a never ending battle with his very son. "My reign cannot last forever! You are 15! You should have been married two years ago!" he snapped, hands fisting. His son huffed, casting his eyes away momentarily.
"There is no woman in this universe that can compare to the ideal woman for me." He insisted, "There is no woman who can compare to me or meet my standards!" With that last hollered statement, the King brought his fingers to his temples to massage his head of the headache that had formed. He opened his mouth to retort, but just as he did so, another message came in.
"Hold on son." He said, and then reached down, switching the links to the second call. As a face appeared on the screen, The King's headache only worsened, "Please tell me you have good news Nappa." He said in an annoyed voice. Nappa sighed deeply.
"I'm afraid not your highness. The Moon Queen refuses to make any sort of alliance what-so-ever." He said. The King shook his head in dismay.
"Figures." He spat bitterly under his breath.
"They're territory is important sire," Nappa said, "If we want to secure that, the only way is to take it by force!" he exclaimed. The King shook his head yet again. A long moment of silence passed where the king just sighed with irritation. Eventually, with a lot of thought, Nappa chose to speak, "Sire, Queen Serenity has a daughter." His voice held a heavy hit to them. The King looked up at him doubtfully.
"True, but it would take years to convince her to-". He stopped though, eye's going wide. He went completely silent, lost in his thoughts before an insanely wide grin appeared on his face, "Prepare to apprehend the Moon Princess Nappa. I will join you soon." With that, King Vegeta switched back to his still furious son.
"Are you almost finished?" The prince snapped, "I have training to do." The King just smirked at his selfish remark.
"Son, I propose a deal." He said. The Saiyan Prince's ears perked a little and he stood straight, waiting for his father to continue. "If I can find you a suitable bride, you will agree to marry. Only if she can compare to you though." The young prince smirked widely, evilly.
"Deal." He said confidently. "Good Luck." And with that, he signed off. King Vegeta tuned out the fazing of the monitor as he lost himself in his thoughts. The Lunarian Queen was known for her beauty, her poise, her grace, and most importantly, her power. And word had it that her daughter would be even more of a heavenly queen that she was. Who else better to marry his son that perfection in itself?
His brain reeling with excitement, he hopped into a space pod, heading for Nappa's tiny ship that was a branch off the King's. It took seconds for him to arrive and near milliseconds to plan the capture of the princess. No, the could never defeat the Queen, but they could bruise her. And if they could force the Princess to marry his son, not only would an alliance be forced, but the King would finally have married off that boy of his.
From their ship, they could not only see Lunaria, but they could see the Moon Palace itself.
"Ready men?" King Vegeta called out to his Saiyan Senshi. They cheered in response.
"We'll distract the Lunarian Senshi," Nappa said, "Which leaves you to get the girl." The King Smirked. No, just busting in and making a commotion wasn't quite their style, but they didn't have time to plan for a sneak attack or secretly steal her. He wanted to get her now and get out; the sooner the better. It was a 13 month trip back home again.
The King had to admit, Nappa could really put on a show. He stomped around, blowing up anything that moved, which in all the chaos, was a lot. Though the Queen was nowhere to be seen, the princess's chi was easy to detect, mainly because her Senshi had transformed with her right there. It would lead him right to her. What fools. With all but one of the Lunarian Senshi distracted, King Vegeta headed off. The last one was still with the princess.
The King flew through the collapsing walls. The palace was just as he imagined: Beautiful. Just around the corner, the princess's Senshi was waiting, and most likely, praying that her friends were holding the Saiyans off. Well, they were; all but one.
The King circled the corner, smiling cunningly at the Senshi in blue. The young girl took a stance, arms raised, not in her defense, but for her princess's.
"Don't come any closer!" she warned. The king said nothing, just kept walking toward them at a steady pace. Sailor Mercury began to sweat, knowing good and well she couldn't defeat him. "I'm warning you!" She threatened again.
"Ami-chan? What's happening?" Serenity called from inside her room. The King looked at the wall, and then smirked. He held his hand to the side, blasting a whole through the marble of the walls, and heading inside the princess's room.
"Serenity!" Mercury screeched, as she tried to pry the door open, and when that failed, headed for the whole the Saiyan King had created. From inside Serenity's room though, the King was already successful.
"Ami?" Serenity said again. "Where are you?" Smoke had risen from the blast the Saiyan King had made. It brunt at the princess's eyes, and she rubbed them of their irritation.
"She's not coming." Serenity screamed, turning swiftly to look at the man, but he reached out, taking grasp of her neck, thumb in her goiter, which soon rendered her unconscious, "And you're leaving with me." And with that, he tossed the princess over his shoulder.
"Put her down!" Mercury screamed as she dug out of the rubble and smoke, and held up her hands. "Mercury Aqua-", but her voice was cut off as the king attacked her with a swift kick, sending the Mercurian heiress into a wall, out cold. The King smirked, staring down at the girl hanging over his shoulder. She was 13, he believed. She'd be 14 by the time they arrived on Planet Vegeta. It was perfect.
The King Returned to the space ship, just as his soldiers were arriving.
"Good, you're ready," Nappa noted, "because we can't hold them off any longer." The King nodded and they took off for his mother ship. In her uncomfortable sleep, the princess wept.
