Pluto Awakening
Awakening

Pluto
Past Life/This Life


Part : 3
Time: Silver Millenium has arrived.
Place: Castle Pluto, years later. Setsuna is now a little over 20.

I and Senzi married immediately when his mother saw the wedding sheets she accepted me as a daughter. His father to this day ignores me to a point, but with quiet furry treats me as a daughter-in-law.

The years have gone by and we have two children. I should explain that a year in Pluto time is a lot longer, a lot longer, than and Earth year. So my twins look to be six years old in Earth time, even thought a little more than two years has passed since I became pregnant with them.
Everything is at peace, the Moon Kingdom is constantly celebrating. Even though Sailor's Pluto and Charon have not awoken and joined the Sailor Senshi ranks. I know that Sailor Charon will never awaken. I do not know how I know this, but my soul screams this fact to me.

The Planet Dina, the dead planet, has started to come to life. The planet still remains in its fixed position hovering between Pluto and Uranus. A silent dead planet. Yet every once in a while I gaze up at it, and a shiver runs through me. I fear Dina, I fear that it will unleash some great evil upon the universe.
There was a time, long before even my grandparents lived, when Dina was alive. I have read many sources, that say, when Dina was alive its orbit reached father than even X's orbit. Dina was said to have traveled to the reaches of other universes. The Planet's Guardian, Sailor Dina, was rumored to have the power over death. Her power was that of death. While other sources say she controlled life. To this day Sailor Dina, is know as the Shadow Scout, for as time passed, she became know as the Scout that allowed the shadow of Death to swallow her world.
I fear Dina, I feel an evil collecting in it. Evil that wants to erase the light of life. Evil, pure evil.

Yet, I rarely think of Dina. I am too happy to care about a dead forgotten planet. My twins occupy too much of my time, for me to worry about anything else.

Senia, the girl, has green eyes like her father and my green-black hair. She is constantly getting into on thing or another, and promises to be a heart-breaker when she grows up. Her counterpart Seni, has my red eyes and his father's black hair. I wish he did not have my eyes. No child should have blood-colored eyes, but his eyes are always filled with mischief like his sisters. Seni tries to act serious and unconcerned. Yet, in the end he gets into a much trouble as his sister does. When he grows up he will have a troop of loyal ladies trying to gain his favor. He loves attention, as does Senia.
I smile and my heart fills with warmth as I look upon them, my children, mine and Senzi's hope for the future. They will share the throne, because without one the other is lost. One would not be able to rule soundly and justly, without the other to bring the balance. Yet matters of court do not hold their mind, and I want them to be free of the weight that royalty brings, for as long as they can be free. All is at peace.

December 22nd, Solstice. ( Earth Time.)
The Duke has reemerged. Dina is sending out negative energy. The kingdom is at war. A woman called Queen Metallica seems to be backing up the Duke. A Sailor Scout is fighting against us.
The Scout calls herself Dina Scout of the Negaverse. She wears the colors of Dina. A metallic black skirt, black knee high boots with silver lacing. The bodysuit section of her Fukui is blackish purple. ( Where the Sailors have white, she has the blackish purple.) Her bows are blackest red, and the cape that reaches her mid-back is the same color as her skirt. Her tiara is blackish gold with a bloody colored stone. As if the stone is polluted.
Her hair is short, shoulder length black. And her crystal blue eyes are hallow, as if her essence has been extracted and replaced with nothing. She carries a six foot long double-edged samurai sword. The blade of the weapon is a solid diamond, and the hilt is wrapped in purple cord.

At first it was only the Duke that attacked Charon. Due to lack of soldiers Charon fell to the Duke.
The troops moved to Pluto as soon as Charon fell. Our soldiers fight those of Charon. Brothers fighting brothers. Something that should never be, but this is war and all is fair.

When the Duke moved to Pluto and began his attack, it became apparent that a greater evil was backing them up. Queen Metallica.
I feel as if I have once met Metallica upon a battlefield a long time ago. We destroyed her, but who is the we that I am a part of? I wish I knew so that I could destroy the evil that is Metallica once and for all.
I feel so helpless, watching those of Pluto slain by those of Charon. So helpless.

As the battles have continued, Sailor Dina, has simply watched. She has yet to interfere with a battle. Her and Queen Metellica seem to be one. Dina seems to be filled with some sort of indescribable pain and blackness. Meanwhile the dead planet, Dina, seems to be strumming with life.
Many have come to the palace for safety and Senzi is out leading the troops. I do my best to keep everyone calm. The children, mine and the refugees, are constantly entertained, in the hope that they will not realize what war is exactly.
I run the palace, help tend the injured that come and feed the hungry. The King and Queen are out gathering supporters. It looks like we have a long battle before us.

January 10th, ( Earth Time.)
War has continued to rage on. The Pluto forces are losing. The troops are loosing hope and their numbers are dwindling. The King and Queen are dead. A messenger brought their bodies back to the palace today. Senzi and I are now the rulers of Pluto.
I am scared. I have yet to receive news of Senzi. I worry that he is injured or worst. I try not to dwell upon that thought, but sometimes it is all I can thing about.

January 30th, ( Earth time.)
The place has been invaded. I and the children have been capture. Everyone else has been slain…

I remember the invasion. I had run to the nursery and grabbed my children, just as the outer wall crumbled, and the inner troops invaded, slaying all who crossed their path. I ran through the palace, half dragging/ carrying Senia and Seni.
All my running was in vain, for just as I rounded one corner, I met Sailor Dina face to face. I quickly shoved my children behind myself and locked eyes with Dina. Her blue irises were empty, hallow, lifeless.
" You have the power." She stated in a voice as cold as her eyes. " Show me your power!" She demanded taking a step in my direction. I stepped back in fear, my children followed suit.
Dina stopped her advance as a troop of soldiers stumbled upon us. Before I could react, my children were held by the soldiers, and I found three soldiers restraining me, as I fought to reach Senia and Seni.
Dina stepped into my eye-line, blocking my children from my sight.
" Queen Metallica will be pleased. Kill the brats. Take her to Metallica."
I screamed, no, and fought harder, as I watched both my children's throats be slit from ear to ear.

My heart broke as I was allowed to crumble to my knees. I watched their blood as it fell from their bodies and puddled onto the ground.
The puddle grew as their bodies were dropped to the ground. The puddle crept towards me, staining the hem of my cream dress red with their blood.
Anger and pain welled up in me. Something upon my forehead began to burn and glow, causing the soldiers to step back in fear.
In my mind the image of Sailor Charon appeared and said.
" Now is the time to awake. Now! AWAKEN SETSUNA!"
The burning upon my forehead grew and covered my body. In the next seconds I felt my clothing disappear and be replaced with the Sailor Fukui of Sailor Pluto.
I watched as the soldiers and Sailor Dina, displayed their shock and fear at what I had just become. Dina just continued to stare at me with her empty eyes.

I felt a presence join me, to my right stood Sailor Charon, with two Crystal Key Staffs in hand. One silver with red jewels, the other a blackened gold with clear jewels. She handed me the silver key and in unison we shouted.
" NINTH TWIN DEATH SCREAM!"
The soldiers were disintegrated by the force of our attack. Sailor Dina blocked our attack with one of her own.
" Dina Mirror Reflect." Was all she said.
Before Dina could perform another attack, I heard Charon whisper.
" Gate of time open, absorb this Shadow Scout." On command a huge portal opened behind Dina and sucked her into the blinding white light. Then just as quickly the portal disappeared.
As soon as the portal was gone, I ran over to my dead ones, my children. I closed their eyes, laid them upon their back and placed their hands at their sides.

Charon placed a hand upon my shoulder and said.
" Parents should never out live their children." I turned into her embrace and cried as she held me.
After my tears stopped, we began to walk through the palace, defeating the enemy when challenged.

After many hours of attacking, killing, defeating. The opposing army was defeated, yet everything was destroyed. Queen Metallica had disappeared, leaving her troops powerless, without their Black Shadow Attacks. The Duke fell soon after Metallica ran. The war was over. The Duke dead and Metallica defeated for the time being.

As I and Charon stood, atop a hill watching the survivors helping each other we began to talk.
" I am your twin, I never survived childbirth. I died, just as mother died." I turned and watched as tears filled her eyes. " My post was to be the Door of Time. Your post was to be that of Pluto the Scout of Mercy. You were supposed to represent both Charon and Pluto on the battlefield. Yet my death, created a hole in the universe." I wiped the tear from her cheek. She still talked as I hugged her, resting my head upon her shoulder.
" When I died. The bond between Pluto and Charon also died in a way. Your eyes, your blood colored eyes. Symbolizing the universes sadness, and your own sadness, because Pluto is mercy and therefore feels the pain of the entire universe.
Our souls are forever connected, and when one is not born the other is lost. That is why it took you so long to awaken." She hugged me back, as I began to cry. She had put a name to the feeling that had always dwelled inside my heart. I had always felt incomplete, as if I was lacking a part of myself.
" Go to the Moon. Warn them of Metallica and Sailor Dina's betrayal. Dina once dwelled upon the Moon. They will know why one of us is fighting against the universe." Nothing was said as I waited for her to finish.
" I must leave, you understand. I must leave to watch the Gate of Time. One day you will have to take over my post. Do you understand?" I said yes. She hugged me tighter and said. " Until such a time, be safe sister. May the Gods and Goddesses go with you, as I would." I hugged her back. " When the time comes you will know. Farewell sister." Charon disappeared, leaving me to hug air. After a few minutes I turned my attention back to the few subjects I had left.

All those who still lived numbered no more than a thousand. In my soul I only wanted to cry, yet as Pluto, I could not do that now.
Everyone was gathered from Charon and Pluto, we boarded battleships and began our long journey to the Moon Kingdom.
