'Keep running. Just don't look back. There is nothing left of you here. I don't need them anymore!' Minako shut her eyes tightly. She bolted out the doors of the temple. She hurried onto a corner under the dim street lights of Tokyo. She ran down to the placid park where no one would be out. She breathed rapidly as her lungs filled with cold air. Minako edged to the bench and relieved her legs of a great duty. She rubbed her swollen eyes and looked down on the ground in shame. A cool puddle of resh rain water lay still at her feet. She looked at it in pain as she saw the reflection of the moon. She saw the image ripple in distortion as rain beat down upon the calm park.

FLASHBACK
"Minako I have decided to live as a normal teenager. I will erase the memory of the Silver Imperium Crystal and all of the scouts from my memory. I have missed out on so much of my childhood I don't want to stay an adult. I want to live my life and not fight it. Take this and don't open it until the others get here." Usagi handed Mina the package and smiled as a tear streaked her pale skin.
"I have lost my childhood too! We all did! But this is for the greater good. How could you stand there and say that you wish to let down all those getting hurt because we stopped protecting them?! Don't be selfish! We were chosen to a great honor. I think that you should take on your responsiblilty and handle it!" Mina said tearing.
Usagi turned away and she smiled. "Mina, Ja Ne!" her heart began to glow and her crystal extented it's warmth across Japan. The other sailor scouts lost memory of their past lives as the history of the world was being changed because of Usagi's selfish decision. Mina was the only one to remember anything.

END FLASHBACK
Mina choked on a hiccup and wiped the hair out of her face. Running into a dull motel she rented a room. She entered the card through the slot and sighed as the door clicked open. She flicked the lights on to a humble little resting place. Plain furnture and dim lights. She sat on the bed and remembered the package. She took it from her pocket and opened the pretty little bunny wrapping paper. Mina screamed as the Silver Impirium Crystal arose. The light shone brightly as Usagi's voice echoed in the background.
It is now, I call to the powers that be,
change past to future, wrong to right,
Give her the freedom to fight.
change what she has to that of better
Give her a new song to sing
her heart is lonlely,
Give her someone to cling.
"Usagi? Usagi! Don't leave please! Think about the people you are willing to let hurt! It's not fair to leave all of your responsibilities on me! You're being irrational! Please for God's sake for my sake and the world just come back!" Mina screamed. She dropped to the floor sobbing excessively. The light dimmed and soon died away. Mina stopped her crying and touched the crystal egnighting yet another beam of light. She covered her eyes and looked away. Mina squeezed her eyelids as tight as possible and felt herself being pulled apart.

"Wufei do we have to practice outside?" Duo whined. Wufei simply rolled his eyes and began to meditate. Duo did the same as he closed his eyes and was in a deep train of thought when all of a sudden a lemon blonde girl dropped on his lap.
"Woa~ did I hit the jackpot or what? What's a gorgeous babe doing here when the mansions's so well guarded?' Duo laughed. Mina struggled to get up when she heard a click. She turned to be staring down the barrel of a gun.
"Especially out of the sky." Heero breathed.
"Wow~ Heero really does say more than just 'Hn'! Good I was really getting bored of that." Wufei just rolled his eyes muttering something under his breath about Duo being like a weak onna.
Looking at the gun Minako forgot about the crystal and stood up to her feet looking Heero straight in the eye. "Go ahead. Do it. I dare you" she said taking a step towards Heero. Heero narrowed his eyes and put the safety back on. He lowered his gun and put it back in his pocket. Minako in that split second remembered that she had the imperial crystal. She shoved her hand in her pocket and grabbed it. She held it out in front of her. She stared at the glimmer around the edge and saw in it's reflection that Heero was coming closer. She turned back to Duo and he saw the look of helplessness for a split second and then it disappeared when Wufei made a move to draw closer to her. She shut her eyes tightly hoping her idea would work.
"VENUS POWER!!!" She lifted the crystal high in the air above herself. A blinding light appeared again blanketing the surrounding garden in nothing but light. The guys shielded their eyes from the light. Heero squinted fighting to see what was going on. He saw Minako begin to float gently. The clothes she had been wearing were gone (no you pervs you don't see anything..it's like when they transform you don't see any details of the body.) and a pair of dove white wings grew from her back. She opened her eyes and her tiara appeared on her head glittering with the light from the Silver Imperial Crystal. Gold beams of light covered her body and disappeared leaving her white body suit on her. Her wings then wrapped around her body shielding her from view. The light died down and Minako stood before the boys who were baffled at what had happened. She opened her arms pushing her wings out of the way. She wore a new gold fuku with a red compact in the middle of her bow.
"Who are you?" Wufei asked confused.
"I am Sailor Venus. Protector of the universe." Sailor Venus stated softly.
"Well who ever you are, you're going to stay with us so we can know you better." Heero looked up at Duo hearing the first reasonable and agreeable suggestion from him in years. "If yah know what I mean" Duo winked. Heero's face went hard again. He was stupid to have thought Duo would get serious. 'Especially with a girl like her around' he stated in his head.
"Which means that I don't have to do anything but protect the universe. Now staying here and answering all of your dumb and useless questions does not fit the qualifications of saving the universe, so I'm going to be on my way and believe me I don't want to have to make a hard exit. Understood?" she finished standing in fighting stance.
"Don't make it hard on yourself by trying to walk away." Heero said grabbing her arm. This got Minako.
"Don't touch me scumbag!" She screamed as she grabbed his arm and flipped him over her shoulder. Heero landed back on his feet. she held onto her wrist and put her in a lock. Minako. She tried to elbow him in the face but hit nothing but air. She dropped to her knees and slid between his legs causing Heero to fall to the grass. Minako took her chance and started to dart off in the direction of the huge concrete wall with the guys in hot pursuit. She turned to see that the boy she had fought was hot on her heels. She leaped up into the air in mid run and landed on top of the wall and jumped over. She ran into the surrounding woods that seemed to swallow her form in their overgrown branches. Heero jumped up next landing on his feet on the other side. He scanned the area. Nothing but silence.
Heero jumped over the wall again back to the guys. "Holy! That girl just jumped an 8 1/2 foot wall! Even I couldn't do that!" Duo panted.
"I don't think she's just any old girl baka!" Wufei yelled as he fought to catch his breath. "Heero, why didn't you follow her?"
"She was already gone. The forest floor is covered in leaves. She wouldn't have left any tracks for me to follow. By the time I leaped over the wall the sounds of her running had faded." Heero said monotone.
"Well, looks like the perfect soldier is making excuses for a failed personal mission to catch that girl." Duo smirked. Wufei smirked at Heero too until Heero shot a death glare at both of them.
'Believe me Duo, I will catch her.' Heero thought. "We have to make an extra effort to catch her. If Oz is stirring things up on the colonies again, she could become a powerful allie."
~*~Back to Minako~*~
'Stupid but cute guys getting in my way! I don't have time to fight with humans. I have to take Usagi's responsibilities and protect the universe. How lovely!' Minako thought as she ran through the woods. Unconciously the sailor fuku disappeared and her regular blue jeans and white tank top appeared. She ran weaving herself around the shrubery and large trees. The branches and bushes that seemed to pop out of no where scratched at her arms exposing shallow cuts and sending small stings into her body.
'This is going to be a long day.'
A/N: How did you like it? I know that I stopped writing the Gundam and Sailor Showdown but if you really want me to, I'll continue to write that. I'll keep the chapters posted up for now, but later they will be deleted. This story is going to be a little better than the other one. Any comments are welcome, but I warn you...if you send me a nasty or unhelpful flame, you will get a mouthful back. I can get quite bitchy, actually I LOVE TO BITCH so watch it. Anyway...I'll posting again sooN!
