The Senshi of Light: Chapter 2: The Kids and Memories
Usagi was in her dream. It was like she was in a giant village with strange vehicles and buildings around that were taller than the trees.
She was in a building, too. She was in a cafe place, with milk that was brown.
"Usagi!" the blonde rabbit looked up to see four faces of different girls. One with blonde hair, one with raven hair, one a brunet, and one girl with blue hair.
"Usagi-chan, are you OK? You seem out of it," the raven haired girl asked worriedly.
"Umm," the rabbit was speechless, not knowing how to react to the question of compleat strangers.
"Oh, I bet you that Mamoru-chan gave you that ring you're wearing!" the blonde girl who looked a bit like her said excitedly.
"Eh?" the rabbit was taken back by surprise.
"Indeed he did, I saw them, Mamoru-kun is off to America, he have Usagi-chan a promise ring, he promised they'd get married one day," a black cat jumped up on the table, bearing a crescent moon on the forehead.
"Luna!" the rabbit exclaimed.
"Yes, Usagi-chan. Oh, girls, we're expecting one more person," the cat smiled.
"Who?" the azul haired girl asked gently.
"Hello, I'm glad I could see you, hime-sama," Usagi looked up, along with the people at the table with her.
"Who are you?" the blonde asked.
The forest haired woman smiled gently and waved her hand. Her friends froze, the people in the restaurant were immobilized in mid walk. The only ones unaffected were the cat, the woman, and the blonde rabbit.
"I've found you. You've come back," the black cat smiled.
"Indeed she has, dear Serenity, stay where you are, do not leave the village, someone will come to get you," the forest green haired woman plead worriedly yet calmly.
"Careful, there's something dark coming, also. Be careful, hime-sama."
"Wait! Who are you? Who am I, exactly?" the rabbit shouted as the dream started to become darkness.
"In time, my sweet princess," the cat smiled before the rabbit woke up.
Usagi woke up, her eyes puffy and sad. She wiped her tears away, dried tears coming off. The rabbit looked on the floor to see Link snoring with his back on the floor.
The rabbit giggled lightly at Link who looked as if he was knocked out for good.
Usagi stood from her bed quietly and walked over to him like a cat. She walked to him and pounced on him, taking the boy by surprise.
"Wake up, sleepy head!" the rabbit yelled as she tackled Link who sat up abruptly.
Link breathed in and out quickly, "Don't do that, you scared me!" the surprised boy yelled.
The blonde laughed, "Well, sorry! I just wanted to wake you up other than shaking you!" the rabbit explained.
"Well, next time, shake me!" Link yelled.
"Well, I think Motoki brought something while we slept, The rabbit looked to the 1st floor to see a chest.
"Open it! I would like to see what you get!" the blonde demanded gently.
The village boy went down the ladder along with the rabbit.
Link walked up to it and opened the chest.
Inside the chest was a sword that was wooden but quite sharp.
"A sword? That's awesome!" the rabbit commented.
"Yeah, come on, I'll bet Talo and the others will want to see it and the sling shot," the blonde boy lifted the sheath up and around himself so he could have the sword with his for as long as he'd like.
The two exited, Link climbing down the ladder and Usagi sitting on the porch.
"Link! We heard, we heard! You got a sling shot! Can we use- Wait, a wooden sword? Oh, that's awesome! Can we see you use it?" Talo rambled.
Link smiled feintly and pulled out his sword slowly and held it, the destructive side facing the ground.
"Hey, Link, start by attacking this scarecrow!" Talo shouted excitedly.
Link looked at the kids, checking that they were far enough that they could be safe.
The village farm boy attacked, the pumpkin of the metal scarecrow flying trough the air just under the blonde girl's legs.
"Amazing! Link-" the leader of the Ordon children paused to hear a screaming of a monkey with a pink flower bow.
"Look, there's that monkey! Come on, let's follow!" Talo ran out, his wooden stick in his hand ready to pound the monkey.
The four kids, including Colin, went to follow their friend who chased the monkey that ran for dear life from the kids.
Usagi gasped and jumped from the wooden platform to the dirt floor, landing gracefully on the soft dirt with green grass growing.
"Link, follow them! The fence to Faron is open!" the girl exclaimed.
Link nodded and ran, his speed greater than the girl.
The two passed Beth and Malo who was with Colin. The blonde rabbit shouted at them to stay in the village and be safe.
Link ran ahead and hissed at seeing a fence that Epona could jump only.
The boy ran back, quicker than before. He jumped on his chocolate brown horse with a white mane and hair around her hooves.
Link quickly galloped his horse across the bridge and saw Usagi staring at the fence like it was an old enemy. The blonde stuck her tongue at the fence but felt her hand get pulled by a stronger and warmer hand than her own.
The rabbit felt herself in the air for a brief second then she felt herself on perched on a warm seat with arms around her.
The girl felt herself bob up and down. The rabbit looked to see Epona who breathed hard with determination in her eyes.
The two reached a small cave, which Epona refused to go into or get close.
"Epona, calm down girl! Its all right girl," the rancher told his horse yelling over the loud neighing.
"Epona! Please! You're going to throw us off, girl!" Usagi pleaded whilst holding on to the horse's mane for life.
The wild and scared look in her eyes disappeared as Usagi fell to the ground, her hands getting scratched.
The horse calmed herself and her intelligent eyes looked at the blonde who had bleeding hands. The rabbit looked at the horse and smiled at the horse, making her nuzzle her.
"Link, go the other way, make sure Talo went that way and not this way so we don't wast time. I'll stay here, make sure if Talo comes out that he'll be safe," the rabbit smiled at Link, making him feel bad to leave her, even if it was for such a short time.
The rancher nodded, and pulled on the leather reins to steer Epona to the other path, leaving each alone for a few solitary minutes.
Link trotted unsurely to the other path, to only see a man who seemed like a forest lover sitting of a stump with rocks surrounding a burned out fire with logs that were half charcoaled and half wood.
"Yo, kid! Come here, I'd like to give you something," the man turned his upper body to get something from behind.
The young man trotted his horse up to the forest guy who turned and held a hand held item in his hand.
"Hey, kid, this is a lantern, its free for now with full oil but after that it costs to refill it. Anyways, that's besides the point. The woods here can be quite dangerous and dark so that's why you need a lantern."
"How much is the oil?" the boy asked carefully.
"20 rupees," the brown haired sales man replied.
"OK, by the way, has a girl come by here? From Hyrule Field?" the boy specified while handing a red rupee to the man.
"Ah, sorry, no man. Who're you talking about? I can tell you come from Ordon and I know the people there."
"Hotaru, Seira's cousin. She's suppose to come tomorrow but I wanted to see if she came earlier."
"Oh, well, I met her. She left at such a young age, 10, was it? Yeah, she seemed so happy but she suddenly got serious and started to act like she knew more than anyone, she now only comes three or four times every year. For Seira's birthday, her own, and then random times. The weirdo mailman keeps the Ordon people updated on Hotaru," Koro asked.
"Ah, well thanks, I need to get back, I've gotta help someone," the polite boy started to leave and then kicked his horse and steared the chestnut brown horse to his friend.
Usagi wiped the strange liquid off her hand that was silver, it was thin and acted like fairly thick water.
The blonde frowned and watched her cut disappear almost instantly.
The girl sat in wonder but quickly regained her senses and wandered towards the cave, but not before being ambushed by two deku babas.
The girl hissed, but denied shouting for help. The rabbit found a thick moist stick that was strong enough not to break too easily.
The rabbit walked towards them and whacked the plant monsters hard enough to knock them out.
The rabbit looked at it and then, with difficulty, pulled the head of the monster off from the roots.
The last life in the monster seemed to gasp for life before it made a harsh gurgling sound and then died in a cloud of smoke.
"Amusing, the way they die," the rabbit mused.
The rabbit turned when she heard clopping of the chestnut brown horse and looked to seen Link with a small smile.
"Did you find him?" the rabbit asked hopefully, not wanting to go into the wet dripping cave with, who knows, however many monsters there are in there.
"No, but I got a way to go further to find Talo," Link held out the new lantern with full oil in it.
"Oh..." the blonde trailed, disappointed that they would have to go into the cave with all the monsters.
"You can stay if you'd like to…" the village rancher said, not really wanting to go alone.
"Oh, no! I will go! Don't worry! I'm just disappointed that you didn't find Talo. I hope he's OK!" the rabbit replied, making up a story, though, inwardly, she secretly did with for the boy's safety.
"Well, let's go in," the boy responded by heading into the cave that was poorly lit.
"Where'd you get the lamp?" the blonde asked looking at the boy who held onto it for the only light.
"A guy gave it to me, his name was Koro, he-" the boy stopped short as he suddenly heard a flapping.
"A keest!" the rabbit shouted suddenly.
Link quickly reacted and swung his sword at the bat in the air.
The keest screeched and disappeared with a soft crunch into the tall grass.
"There's more, along with rats and some deku babas," the blonde commented dryly.
"How can you tell?" the duller blonde asked.
"I-I don't know… I can... sort of just feel it. Its a strange feeling," the blue eyed girl responded slowly.
"Hmm... Well, could you hold the lantern, it maybe a bit hard to kill these monsters with a wood sword. Its already wearing out," the Hylian said as he felt the, now, duller tip of the wooed sword made by Motoki.
"OK-" the girl froze just as she took the lantern. She crouched unwillingly to the dirt cave floor and held her head with one while the other balanced her from falling. She groaned as a pain shot in her head.
Link called out to her and she fell gently into his hands. The blonde held her head as the images entered and flooded her mind.
There was one of a clear crystal in form of a flower being held by someone who was blurred up but resembled her. Then in a flash from the crystal, the scene changed.
It was that same girl again with a girl with long raven black hair. She wore an outfit that was strange to her. A red skirt with violet ribbons that matched her eyes and high heels that matched her skirt.
"Yes, I understand, but, Princess, you realize that would be breaking the law? A Lunarian and a human to meet! Even more, if you go into the region that have people go missing we may not be able to find you!" the red dressed girl said, worry written in her face but stern eyes
"But, Rei! This is no fun, being on the Moon! I don't want to marry a noble from Mercury, Venus, Jupiter or any of those! I want to see someone from Earth! Besides," the princess looked at the raven haired girl with a sly face, "Mother said she could find me where ever the moon shines, any moon. So why can't I go to Earth?"
The other's face contorted into a furious look but quickly calmed herself. She closed her violet eyes and then let a defeated sigh out and spoke with only worry and sadness on her face and voice.
"Oh, Serenity, your mother should never have told you that... OK, you... can go to Earth, but only a week, OK? And you have to tell Venus, all right?"
"OK!" the girl ran off into the big wide doors that hung open with a smile that seemed to show only innocence."
"Serenity, please stay safe," the vision faded as the raven haired girl went towards the door on the opposite side that the blonde princess went through.
Then a darkness seemed to rain down as one more vision filled her eyes.
The blonde princess seemed to walk to a wall that was made of beautiful white marble. She tapped at the wall and heard a small echo and she grinned.
"Here we go, Mama won't be able to see me while I listen to who she might choose!"
The blonde princess crawled in with a candle in a jar made safely so she wouldn't catch fire or drop it. She crawled and got to a opening just behind the thrones and listened closely.
"Your Majesty, your child, Princess Serenity must marry by the end of the year, which is in a month and a half. She must choose a suitor for her to wed," se recognized the voice to be the king of Jupiter.
"Yes, I know very well, however, as you all know, she won't agree to marry any noble of this or any other galaxy except for Earth," the cool calm voice of the princess' mother responded.
"Yes, we all very well know of the girl's attitude to this subject, which is why we agreed to have this conversation after she retired to her chambers," the Queen of Uranus replied softly.
"Yes, but, Selene, won't you think of someway to convince Serenity into marrying royal? We must keep the blood of royals powerful and strong," the Saturnian king replied haughtily to the other kings and queens.
Selene looked at them with worry in her eyes and then replied slowly, "Yes, I know the law, but my dear Serenity will never marry another royal other than one from Earth."
"Well, you must fix that! Or she shall have to resign as the heir of the moon!" the king of Jupiter boomed.
The calm Queen of the Moon winced at the loud voice and then replied, "Calm yourself, Sandā! You speak of my daughter like a item that has no mind. I would like you to speak more kindly about my daughter."
"Selene, you must understand, however. Should your daughter not marry, she must resign. Another scenario if your daughter marries a human than she will remain heir but will not have as much power as you do, Selene. Lady Hāto will be the one to take full control, though she will not make decisions for the moon.
Behind the silver throne for she and her mother, the princess gasped.
"Then, I shall see to it that Serenity… will marry," the Queen sighed out solemnly.
"She has one week to choose, no longer," Queen Hāto then spoke for the rest of the court.
The other eight rulers started to take their leave when the queen called out once more, "Chronos, please stay."
The black haired man nodded and stayed while the other royals left.
"Chronos, please, what would happen if Serenity did marry one from the Earth.
"You know that even I could not tell you the full extent on that," the blood eyed man replied.
"But tell me, who might she find?" the Moon royal pleaded.
"Alright," the king of time uncrossed his arms and held his hand out, a small garnet marble floating.
The man closed and focused his eyes and spoke in a trance, "The girl in fine silver,
shall find love like none other.
Her brightness lighting the whole Earth,
changing the era.
A child in green shall met her highness' child.
A third child shall be met,
with the great powers of time.
By only the blow of his
instrument,
shall the time gate open."
The man looked up as the Queen and help the garnet that fell.
"This prophesy is to happen in a week and end three days later."
"That, would not be much time for Serenity," the lavender haired Queen bit her lip gently in frustration.
"But, if your daughter's love is true, than it will be," Chonos told the queen.
"Chonos, could you send Princess Setsuna to halo Serenity find her a suitor?" the queen requested after moments of silence.
The man smiled then asked, "Yes, but may I ask where?"
"Earth, she'll choose someone from Earth, be it a Royal or a commoner. The others will not know. If he takes a misstep than they will only think of it as a human custom. Please, do in now, she has no time."
"Yes, your majesty. I shall send for Sailor Pluto now," the man snapped his fingers and a dark forest green portal appeared.
From the area came a tall slender figure. She was a head taller than the queen and she half a key-like staff that matched perfectly with the quern's hair. Atop the staff was a heart made of the same metal as the staff.
"Setsuna, please bring Serenity and take her to Earth, do not follow her, but keep track of her," the Queen ordered.
The woman bowed her head slightly and went to fetch the princess listening in on the conversation.
The girl turned quickly and crawled out of the secret passage.
The vision faded to white and for miles she saw nothing except for water that she stood in.
In the water was a different reflecting, like the girl that had appeared.
"He he he!" the girl laughed melodically, "You're back again, are you? After, what, 1,000 years? Hehe, far less time than the last, it was!"
"Huh?" the other blonde asked confused.
The playful look on her face faded and she looked at her counter part, all playfulness gone.
"The truth, it's burred, isn't it? Well, then regard what ever happened in your memories," the girl flicked her wrist in a manner that seemed to dismiss the idea.
"Wait, I don't get it! What truth? Why do you look like me?"
"As Pluto says, in time," the girl winked, "You'll know what I mean when you awaken!"
"Wait! If you know me, please stay! I know nothing about myself!" the real blonde begged.
The mirrored image seemed to look away and was strained to spill all of her information, but she instead replied, "I wish to tell you everything, the truth, but, Father Chronos would not accept it... I'll visit you, tonight and every night."
"But-"
"No more time," the girl said firmly, "Wake."
In a sudden light the rabbit found herself looking into the other's eyes that were equally blue.
"Usagi, are you all right?" the boy asked with worry.
"Yes, I am. A memory, a strange one, I'll tell it later," the blonde started to stand but she slipped and fell onto the floor.
"Ow, my head hurts…" the rabbit groaned.
"You should stay, I'll get Talo," the boy suggested.
"But, I want to help Talo!" the rabbit screeched.
The Hylian rubbed his ears then he replied, "Well, if you can't stand than you should stay, don't worry, here, take the sling shot just in case."
Usagi pouted a but more before finally letting him go without her.
"Don't die, and stay safe," the rabbit said finally.
"I will, I'll light this torch on fire so you have light, Ok?" the blonde companion nodded.
The blonde boy lit the torch and went off further in the cave and out of it, eventually.
"How funny, that Link. He seems so familiar, caring about someone he barely knows," the rabbit whispered before falling into her deep sleep.
