Chapter 5



Amara dismissed Ruby and she retreated back to her room where she sat looking in the mirror.

" Stupid Rini." she hissed as she thunbed through a book called " Queens of the Outer Planets.

She looked at each picture of each queen in Uranus' past.

" They all seem so carefree." she said quietly as she browsed the pages.

Then she heard a familiar knock on her window.

" Bryce, I'm comming." she said as she walked over to the window where an older teenager boy was on a creeky old ladder.

She then opened the window.

" Why couldn't you come sooner?" Ruby said angerly. " You could have taken care of that princess Rini if you were. She's a pain in everyones butts."

Bryce smiled.

He was a tall, muscular boy with brown hair that was slicked back and had a small hooped earing on his right ear.

" Dang, I wanted to beat up somebody." he said climbing into the window. " By the way, we were waitng for you at the Beijuu Track, you never showed. Was she the reason?"

" Yes, except I couldn't come cause I slugged her."

" Wicked, your the best girl on the planet."

" Don't rub it in Bryce."

" Sorry, Ruby."

Ruby then walked over to her shelf of Beijuu vehicle models that she made.

" Finished it Bryce." she said throwing one over to him. " The " Spirit of Ithica" is yours. That will cost 175 zinya."

Bryce looked at the model.

" Amazing, it is made with such care and it looks almost real!"

" Ahem, the money.."

" Oh, yeah."

Bryce then pulled a poutch of money out of his poket and threw it to Ruby.

" Its all in there Ruby." he said looking at the model.

Ruby took out the coins and counted them.

" Hey, Bryce, ever heard of Sailor Uranus?" she said looking up from the money.

Bryce stopped for a moment and looked at her.

" What?"

" Sailor Uranus."

Bryce looked around the room.

" Yeah, that broad who's suposed to be Uranus' guardian. I heard that story for all my nineteen years Ruby, who doesn't know about that lady."

" Well, Bryce, there is a Sailor Uranus."

Bryce chuckled.

" No there isn't its just a stupid myth our people made up thousands of years ago to give girls a positive outlooks on life."

Ruby paused.

" I used to think that too, until I found out who she is."

" Then who is she?" Bryce said with doubt in his voice.

" My mother."

Bryce broke out in laughter.

" Bryce, no really." Ruby said with an annoied tone.

" Gaa! Thats funny Ruby, your mom, that prissy short skirt wearing chick? Gaa, your a riot!"

Ruby laughed.

" No, really, I asked her and she was."

Bryce stopped.

" Huh?"

" Yes, sadly, mother is the formal Sailor Uranus."

Bryce then looked at her strangely.

" Ruby, your sixteen years old, you need to stop telling all these silly stories."

" I'm serious."

" Have any proof then?"

Ruby raised a finger and then lowered it.

" No, but I'll find some proof somewhere."

Then loud chimes outside the window alerted the city of Eros that a visitor was entering the city. A very important one. More important than Neo Queen Serenity and Princess Rini because it didn't chime when they arrived. Bryce and Ruby then both looked out the window to see a giagantic starship that was silver. It landed on a landing pad on the top of one of the high rise buildings and it landed.

" The Tarainian Bounty Hunters " Ruby said slowly as they watched the erie ship park on the building.

" What do they want? Do they come in peace?" Bryce said watching intentally.

Ruby didn't answer.

Then she noticed one of the doors opening also extending as a ramp.

" Give me the bionoculars." she said firmly to Bryce.

He then got up and grabbed Ruby's pair of high powered bionoculars. He then tossed then to her and returned back to the window. Ruby then looked through them.

" What do you see?" Bryce said intentally.

Then Ruby lowered them after she saw her fate.

" They want mother."
