Chapter 3

Endymion had perfect access to his counterpart's memories, so he knew where his apartment was situated. His counterpart was shouting out-loud inside his head but he was ignoring the cries for now. He wasn't going to let his self-destructive self destroy the opportunity Queen Serenity gave them.

'Queen? Who is Queen Serenity?' he heard Mamoru voice but he ignored him. He had thought of showing him all of his memories but he was too angry at himself to reveal all of the truth. His counterpart didn't like being ignored but he didn't even bother reacting. He simply humped and shook his head as he walked out of the arcade doors.

He had been so distracted that he didn't notice the blue haired girl until he ran right into her. Startled he stumbled back and looked to notice that Sailor Mercury's counterpart was standing right in front of her. And the mercurian's eyes were ablazed, angry. That made his eyes go wide. He had never seen the calm and collected mercurian ever this angry, not even in the past life. So the sight was petrifying.

"You-you stay away from our Usagi. I've never interfered because I thought this was harmless banter but you genuinely hurt her. She wouldn't even see us when we went to visit her. How could you do that? What do you get out of this? Is it funny? Because if so then you are heartless!" she ranted angrily, her eyes dark blue as she glared at him. He turned his gaze beside her, seeing Makoto situated with her arms folded. While Makoto was glaring at him, he could see that even Makoto seemed surprised by Ami's anger, as she was giving her side glances of disbelief.

Though he was surprised, a part of him was touched. The loyalty they shared with Serenity made him happy, even though they clearly had no idea she was their princess.

'What?!' Mamoru's voice came to his but he didn't say anything back. He found it ridiculous in the first place that Mamoru couldn't recognise their princess. Besides he would look strange if he lost himself talking mentally to his other side. So he simply ignored his revelation.

Knowing that he needed to get into their good graces before he could even mend the bridge with Usagi, Endymion took a deep breath and hunched his back.

"I know." He spoke in a resigned tone, making sure it is full off remorse. That wasn't a lie. It was full of real remorse; he was disappointed at himself, because Mamoru was him, "I was horrible"

His words seemed to have taken both of them by surprise for the froze and their jaw fell.

"Wait what? You agree?" Makoto spoke up, staring at him in disbelief, Endymion simply nodded at that, he agreed alright.

"Yes, I, what I said was out of line. I'm a jerk I know. I just can't handle myself around her. I was jealous so I uttered those things that but I regretted it as soon as I declared it. You don't have to threaten me, I feel horrible enough for making her cry" he said it while staring at them with honest eyes.

"Jealous?!" Both Ami and Makoto screeched the word, looking at him as if he had grown two heads, while Mamoru scowled inside his mind.

'I was not jealous'

'You're so in denial that it is painful' he retorted back mentally.

Endymion sheepishly scratched his head.

"Ah yes. I was jealous of the thought that she would go to a dance where all the other useless guys would get to stare at her. And that I won't get the chance to take her," those words were true, no matter how much his idiot self was denying.

"Wait, wait, wait! You like Usagi! But you treat her horribly!" Ami spoke up, looking at him in utter incredulity.

"You drove her to tears!" Makoto pitched in "And aren't you dating Rei?"

"I've only gone out with Rei once, to show her that we won't work together, she isnt my girlfriend. And…yes I like Usagi, in that way. But I don't know how to…umm, express my feelings. And because she dislikes me I hurt her with my words as she won't notice me. It's the only way I ever get her attention. But I know I went too far today…" he spoke while staring at them. They still looked horrified at the revelation. This only reflected how messed up his current self had made. He had a lot to fix if Usagi's friend looked at him in shock.

They pulled up their jaws and shook there head.

"Okay…this will be news to Rei and she won't be happy. But you are an idiot! You don't just treat someone you like horribly!" Makoto hissed looking at him with a glare.

"I know…I want to fix this and take her to the dance." That would be a good step to bring her back to him. He could feel how weak their bond was now, so thin. It hurt him. And he knew the reason for their bond being so thin. He hurt her emotionally and he needed to make this bond thrive once again, as it used to be in the silver millennium.

Ami and Makoto looked at them with a thoughtful expression. He opened his mouth to say something when a giant crash was heard. Shocked, three of them whipped their head to see a twenty foot blob of green youma on the streets and Zoisite floating over it with a smirk. Seeing his former general made him freeze but he heard Ami and Makoto swear loudly.

"Uhhh, we've gotta go, we'll talk later Mamoru-san" Makoto said it before grabbing Ami and pulling her away. He didn't even acknowledge their words, his eyes all for Zoisite. Betrayal pumped through him.

'What do you mean our general? Was he our friend?'

'He was our bodyguard…and friend' Endymion replied bitterly. He could feel shock hitting Mamoru but he ignored those feelings. In seconds he saw Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter entering the scene. They threw their attacks at the green youma in an attempt to distract it, obviously stalling before Sailor Moon's appearance. Taking a deep breath, Endymion ran, heading towards the alley he could see in the corner of the arcade.

Once inside the alley, he closed his eyes and flexed his hand, calling onto Elysium for his power's release. He could feel Mamoru's confusion but ignored that. Just then a light surrounded him and when it vanished he stood transformed. But it wasn't the tuxedo that his alter self had been masquerading as. He opened his eyes and looked at his sword in satisfaction.

It was just then he heard a familiar beloved voice speak out, giving her speech to the youma.


Yes I am alive. Sorry I haven't updated in a while, university took over and now I am addicted to Miraculous Ladybug so I have been binge reading fics of that fandom now. But here it is! I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I promise I will update more frequently now.
