A/N Now it is the trials of Amilia. Also to clear the confusion when they gain their planets star seed they will take their planets names.
Trials of Mercury.
I landed on soft sand, looking around I saw the crystalized bodies of my people.
"Mercury Crystal Planet Power!" Shifting into my fuku I raised the mind of mercury and tried to heal my people. One of the bodies started to glow ice blue and I saw him or her rise with a gasp. Looking close tears started to fall down my face it was my mother. "Mom!" I ran up to her and hugged her,
"My child what has happened?" So I told her of the fall of the moon.
"Hmm and so now you are trying to restore the entire planet?" I nodded, she clapped
"Follow me." I did until we came to a shrine in surprisingly well condition. When we came in a body become apparent incased in ice like crystal. "This is the physical manifestation of Mercury when we where young he was a trickster and convinced the people of Terra that he was a god. When the second princess of the young moon betrayed the system he fell into a slumber. If you are going to go through his trials you need to wake him up." I raised my crystal and concentrated on him until he rose.
"Ah finally." He saw me in my senshi uniform and nodded. "So my trials are needed." I nodded as I bowed.
"Please don't misunderstand. I would have brought you back either way but-"
"The time of Neo-Queens and Kings has come I know." He lifted me and smiled. "Your first challenge is to master my crystal." I nodded, and an idea came to mind.
"Will you teach me? Only you know the power of the crystal." He laughed obviously pleased with my request.
"Yes first do you feel the power of Mercury in your mind or do you just concentrate till it shines with power?"
"I just concentrate but how do I feel the power?"
"When you came here it merged with your mind did it not?"
"It did"
"Well that means it is your mind put it up to your head." I did and as it rested on my forehead it started to shine a bright sky blue. When it was gone I touched my forehead and their was no tiara but there was a bump. Mercury smiled and conjured a mirror and showed me my reflection. My fuku was in super mode. No symbol of mercury was apparent but the crystal was obvious it was grafted into my flesh. "Now it is connected to your emotions, try to make it rain." It hadn't rained in a long time. Like a thousand some odd years. I raised my arms and just visualized the clouds forming and how serene the planet would look with its lush forests back and its thick atmosphere restored. I felt a warmth creep through my body until I heard a roar of wind. I stopped when I heard a pounding rain. "Good that was obvious proof that mastering the crystal was easy for you." I shook my head.
"Not true I merely have a good handle on my emotions. It took a lot more effort than I realized it would."
"That is to be expected. You aren't used to wielding power equal to Serenity. She took some time to get used to her power too." I nodded she did. She never used it in the Silver Millennium.
"What about Selenity how did she do?"
"She was trained to wield the power since she was young but she foolishly believed that she would become the Neo-Queen of the moon with immortality. Pride does come before the fall you know."
"It does, so what is the next trial?"
"Accepting your General. He loved you and you know that he was forced into betraying you and his master." I nodded it was very logical. My heart felt strained and then I began to feel my power roar. Soon Zoisite stood looking dazed.
"Amilia? I thought Serenity killed me?" Mercury looked up and smiled winking at me he spoke,
"Zoisite I have revived you with the aid of my Princess so that when she takes my star seed she will have her love and be complete. You now have your own star seed imbedded with the power of wind. Will you take the name Zachary and become her loyal King?" I was crying as a humble look overcame his features he bowed before me.
"My love once you are crowned the Queen of this beautiful planet I would nothing more than to help you protect it and rule by your side." I threw my arms around him and kissed him, it was a perfect kiss.
"Now Zachary I will send you to her castle to wait until the trials are finished." He waved his hand and the newly revived prince was gone. "Now Amilia my daughter for you to complete this challenge you can do three things. One, defeat me in battle, two, beat me in a battle of wits, or cleanse one of the asteroid senshi. They will be restored anyways but you could gain a strategic advantage that way."
"I doubt I could live with your blood on my hands and I wont take advantage of the future princess of Terra by taking her guardians." He nodded
"Wits then." He waved his hand and I was in a throne staring at a void planet. "This is a game that the gods liked to play, create a planet and have them clash. The winner wields their power." I swallowed the guilt of using sentient beings this way but I had no choice my people came first. "Ladies first." I descended to my planet using my power I gave it purple skies, crystal clear seas. Strong trees and with my love of the mythical I made dragons, mermaids and other creatures. Then I made man. I made them all with gold skin and increased intelligence and compassion. I gave them heightened protective instincts although I made them value logic and love more. I appointed royalty for each species giving them a prophecy that one day a great war would rage and if they could unite their kind goddess would fight with them.
I rose from the heavens and descended onto my throne feeling power coarse through me. Mercury looked confused,
"You warned them?"
"Why of course I like this planet I made, I want them to live."
"Usually we just kill them after our fun." Lighting hit his planet to show,
"That's sick they have souls and star seeds they deserve life that's why... look they are ruling in a grand council making twelve warriors male and female ready for the war." I watched pleased as they combined science, magic and finally faith to be great warriors. Mercury's planet was like earth tearing itself apart with war and greed. I watched as they killed their planet and made space travel and came to my planet ready to conquer. I descended , "My children listen, a great evil is coming the war is upon you. They want to kill your land like they have done their own. You must not show them mercy for they are selfish and evil." I looked at their predetermined warriors I waved my hand pulling out their heart crystals. The stood there with that vacant look. I gathered my power and made heart weapons. Returning their crystals they looked in awe as they got their perfect weapons. "These weapons are special they come from you, use them wisely and never let anyone but your bloodline use them. In fact if someone tries to take it they will die." They looked scared but understood. I rose again and this time Mercury was angry.
"You mean to give them full life my little evils stand no chance!"
"Exactly they will be mine and their evil blood will water my new planet." I watched in glee as they attacked them and one by one took out his creatures they looked like youma now. Mercury roared but before he could kill my people his star seed ripped out of his chest and merged with mine expanding my power. I went to them and clapped all the while smiling. My warriors stood tall and proud. "You have done well when you come to the silver system I will be there I will congratulate you and make you my ally."
"Yes Mother." I didn't allow them to worship me I convinced them that I was their mother. And they loved me as their mother. I started to glow and they looked awed when I stopped. I quickly looked through their eyes and almost cried, My hair was long and curly my fuku was white and silver my crystal was framed by my hair a tiara of light gold rested in my hair weaving through it with a circle around my crystal I was pleased I looked like a beautiful soldier worthy of eternal senshi powers. I went to Zachary then. We consummated our relationship and restored our planet with ease. The people accepted me and the new alliance. I then went back to Terra as Neo-Queen Mercury the queen of mind and compassion.
Juniper looked at me in awe as did the others but she was my best friend in the group. She gave me a quick hug as she was next.
Juniper's P.O.V
The prince of Terra lifted a staff out of space pocket and then pulled out a green crystal it looked like an emerald with a bright yellow thunder bolt in it.
"Staff of the god Jupiter come to me give me my birthright!" It flew to me and as I rose a swirl of lightning wrapped around taking me home.
A/N So? Opinions better chapter? I think that went right along Amy's personality and she would make a great goddess according to my story. Reviews please.
