Sapphires through the Mist-1
Ok...A friend of mine begged me to write an Ami/Trowa fic...While I would rather have it Ami/Duo, I'm in a good mood, so I shall comply! I don't really have a plot in mind, or any real inspiration, but here goes anyway!
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing. If I see any lawyers at my door, I will shoot them with my paintball gun! =)
NOTE: This takes place when the G-boys are around 20, and after Crystal Tokyo. Usagi was the only one to marry. If you have anymore questions, then ask me in the form of a review!
=)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Crystal blue eyes looked at the destruction that lay around her tattered body. 'How could this have happened?' she asked herself.
The crystal palace, impenetrable, or so they thought, lay in ruins.
An army of Youma and men who used a strange type of magic had descended from the heavens and mercilessly attacked them.
Being at peace for over a thousand years, the people of Crystal Tokyo were unprepared to ward off the violent attack. Many were slaughtered where they stood.
Men, women, and children lay bleeding and screaming in the streets that had once been so pristine. Now, they ran crimson.
The Senshi, the only warriors in the city had done their best, but they had become complacent. And they were quickly losing.
Of the 8 senshi who fought, half of them were dead. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were all that stood in the way of the murdering of their queen. The others lay dead in the streets of the city that they tried to protect. Their blood mingling with that of the others.
Neo-Queen Serenity, her husband laying dead just outside the palace, and her daughter dying even as she was trying to heal, was doing what she could, but she too had become complacent and weaker.
Neo Queen Serenity's powers were barely holding the shield around the palace and all the survivors there in. And she was rapidly losing strength.
As the Queen passed out from over exertion, the senshi who were left were by the doors that would protect the people. If they fell, then all was lost.
Mercury gazed at the battle in front of them. Thousands of youma still stood a mass of evil writhing in the setting of the sun.
All four Senshi prayed to their home planets and to the moon for help. Whether their prayers were hear or not remained to be seen.
At the front of the horde of evil stood 4 men and 3 women, the strange ones who used the unknown type of magic. Their faces obscured because of the black cloaks that they were wearing.
Mercury gulped. If it had only been the youma they would have stood a chance of winning, but these strangers' magic was a match for their own. It affected them when no other magic could.
The Senshi braced themselves for their last stand in this fight, unknowing what the Magicians planned for them.
The seven magicians however grouped together and began to chant. A low, almost musical chant wrapped itself around their senses, lulling them to stand down.
Mars, not being complacent by nature screamed in fury and threw a wave of raw fire at them. The chanting stopped and the senshi snapped out of their stupor.
Growling at to lonely herself for falling prey to the magic, but to the casters of the spell as well, Mercury steeled her senses not to be enraptured so easily.
The magicians, seeing their prey shake themselves to awareness, laughed heartily before beginning a different chant. A chant of sleep.
Slowly, without any of them realizing it, they began to drift odd to dream land, even though they did lose attack after attack on the strangers.
Saturn was the first to fall. She lay on her side, a dreamy smile on her face as a coffin of crystal, slightly tinted purple grew up around her. The planet of Saturn was protecting its daughter from further harm.
Mercury's lat thought as she too succumbed to slumber was the look of absolute fury on the faces of their opposition.
'Maybe their plans were to kill us once we fell asleep' she told herself groggily. 'Bet they didn't count on this type of defense from us!' The last thing she felt was the crystal coffin that was beginning to encase her body. Mercury's eyes closed softly and she knew no more.
She only hoped that the others would be alright as well. And she sent a last prayer for her Queen and princess.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Trowa looked up from his book of forgotten history. It fascinated him to no end. The forgotten past was much like his own past. Forgotten.
He was reading about the fall of the mightiest city and the death of the most benevolent rulers ever to grace the Earth. He was reading the history of the fall of the Senshi and Crystal Tokyo.
No one really knew where the ruins lay. They were lost to history. People said that you could only see it at dusk, but it must have been just stories. No place can only be seen at just one time of the day.
Sighing, Trowa stood. It was time for dinner. Since all the guys were staying with Quatre, they all had dinner at the same time. It was quite amusing most of the time. Duo would piss of Wufei and then go hide behind Heero.
Wondering why Duo hasn't had his brains blown out by now, Trowa started down to dinner.
He arrived just in time to see Wufei chasing Duo around, his Katanna gleaming in the soft light.
Shaking his head, he silently made his way to his seat. Right now, the whole 'Wufei chases down Duo' thing annoyed him.
Dinner, which was served after Duo and Wufei calmed down, was mostly quiet. The only thing that piqued his interest was when Duo started talking about some map that he had acquired.
Duo claimed to have a map that led to Crystal Tokyo. Wufei scoffed at it. But he and Quatre looked interested. They hadn't done anything remotely interesting in a long while. Relena dodging exempted.
Trowa swore inwardly. 'That girl was annoying! Good for politics, but a weed when it came to relationships. I don't think she realizes that Heero doesn't like her! Even thought he finally told her that.'
Mumbling his acquiesce on the city hunt, Trowa returned to his book. His nice, quiet book.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Trowa could feel the sweat trickeling down his back. It was very hot outside. 'Damn Duo for dragging me on this hunt!'
He was clad in a tank top and shorts, as were the rest of the guys. Except for Wufei who decided that he would rather suffer and wore his normal attire.
As the sun began to descend, it's red rays casting a demonic glow on their surroundings. Trowa decided to walk a bit away from the others. He needed some peace and quiet.
About 50 feet away, on top of a cliff, Trowa gazed breathlessly at the sight before him. A lush green valley, untouched by mankind lay before him. Deciding that this was the perfect place to think, he sat and gazed around.
As one of the few remaining rays of light pierced the valley, it glinted on something.
Rubbing his eyes and mumbling about seeing things in the blasted heat, Trowa looked again.
The sight to greet him was astounding. Instead of the lush vegetation that was there not a minute ago, now there lay a crystal city in ruins.
Shouting to the others, he kept his eyes locked on the fallen crystal spires.
In a matter of seconds the others were right beside him, an awestruck look in their eyes.
Duo ruined the moment when he shouted "Alright! We found it!"
They decided to wait until morning to descend into the valley. Going down the mountain side in the dark was not a risk they needed to take.
They had reached the bottom of the mountain by mid day. Deciding not to get too close, they waited for dusk to make the ruins to appear once more.
They were not disappointed. The last beams of the setting sun lit up the fall crystals. It was an astonishing sight to behold.
Shaking themselves from the trance like hold, the guys hustled their gear and themselves into the fallen city.
As night settled warmly onto the valley, Trowa grabbed a flashlight and walked a cursory circle around their camp.
Crystals lay broken and dull in the beam of light. Being cautious of the jagged edges, Trowa made his way through what was left of the fabled city of goddesses.
A dark splatter on one of the shattered crystals drew his attention. On closer inspection, he came to the conclusion that it was old blood. Very old blood. Maybe even hundreds of years old.
When he returned to camp, he mentioned it to the others and told them to be careful the next day.
When dawn woke him from slumber, Trowa shot up, half expecting the famous city to have disappeared. But it was still visible. 'Maybe once you enter, you will be able to see it until you leave.'
Getting his first real look, he was astounded at the beauty of the place, even as ruins, this place inspired awe. The sunlight twinkled off clear and tinted crystals. Vegetation grew lush everywhere it could find purchase.
But when you took a real close look, there was a darkness to the place as well. Barely discernable was the faint traces of bloodstains. The signs of old battles fought here were unmistakable.
The five of them each decided to go a different way, to find something that might give clues to the past of this place.
As the morning wore on, he passed four mounds of greenery. He almost paid it no mind, but a twinkle at the corner of his eyes made him take a closer look.
The crystal was clear blue in color and completely covered in vines and leaves. Deciding to see what lay beneath, Trowa took out one of his knives and cut away the vines at one end.
The clarity of the crystal was exquisite. But even more so was the pair of legs encased in said crystal. In a hurried fashion, Trowa cut away the rest of the vines.
What lay inside the crystal was a young woman with short hair. He couldn't tell the color because of the tinting of the crystal, but he thought it was blue as well.
She was very pretty, but it looked as if she had been in a battle and had been incased in the crystal when she fell.
What surprised him the most was her uniform. She wore the fighting fuku of a Sailor Senshi. A legendary warrior. And she had the symbol of the planet of Mercury on her broach.
Here before him lay the goddess of Ice and Knowledge.
Glancing at the other three mounds, he wondered if they too held Senshi of the past.
