Serenity stood frozen.
"Hi," Endymion said.
Of course being the klutz she was Serenity accidently tripped onto Endymion. She screamed before he caught her.
"Endymion," Serenity said.
"Meatball head?" Endymion asked.
While confused about the name Serenity hugged Endymion.
"I'm so glad I found you again," Serenity cried.
"You weren't just some illusion," Endymion whispered.
Serenity was nervous about walking with Endymion. Endymion told her about the Earth kingdom. She held onto every word he said.
"So what's up with the moon thingy on your forehead," Endymion asked.
Serenity felt her crescent moon insignia.
"Is something the matter with it?" Serenity asked.
"No, no, it's fine but what is it for?' Endymion asked.
"Oh, it's the mark of Silver Millennium," Serenity said.
"What's Silver Millennium?" Endymion asked.
"It's a kingdom on the moon," Serenity explained.
Endymion laughed.
"That's funny," Endymion laughed.
"It's the truth!" Serenity protested.
"Sure meatball head," Endymion said.
"YOU SCUM BAG!" Serenity heard.
Serenity and Endymion turned. Venus was wearing her sailor uniform and stood behind them. A sword was in her hand. She charged at Endymion with the sword. Endymion pulled his sword out.
"Stop it Venus!" Serenity said.
Serenity stood in front of Endymion as a shield.
"Don't hurt him!" Serenity cried.
"Move out of the way Princess," Venus shouted.
"Venus don't hurt him please!" Serenity pleaded.
A dark purple tentacle wrapped around Serenity. She screamed.
"Serenity!" Venus and Endymion shouted.
Endymion slashed at the tentacle but it seemed to have no effect.
"HOLY SWORD ACTION!" Venus shouted.
The sword developed a silver glow as it slashed at the tentacle. The tentacle released Serenity. She held onto Endymion.
"Um hello! I saved you!" Venus shouted.
"Serenity, I think Venus wants you to go with her," Endymion said.
"I'll be back," Serenity whispered.
Endymion kissed her before she left with Venus.
Serenity landed in Silver Millennium with Venus.
"Did you have to ruin my fun?" Serenity whined.
"Did I? It's only the beginning," Venus laughed.
Venus spoke into her communicator. The two girls walked to the gym courtyard. There stood the other three sailor soldiers.
"You called us Venus?" Jupiter asked.
"Serenity's been to Earth," Venus said.
It seemed like all the wind had stopped. The girls went into a shouting match.
"QUIET!" shouted the usually quiet Mercury.
The girls quieted down.
"Now we're doomed as time speaks," Mercury said.
"Serenity, do not go back down to Earth again," Jupiter scolded.
"I've got to look into the flames," Mars muttered.
Venus she just scowled.
The next day Serenity sat in her classes with Luna and Mars. How boring this was. Luna was going on about some ancient queen of the moon and stuff. She definitely was going back to Earth later tonight.
A war meeting was being held in the war room. Venus sat next to Helios near Queen Serenity. The other kings and queens of the other eight planets sat around the large table. Princess Serenity on the other hand was being protected by the other sailor soldiers.
King Hermes of Mercury was telling about a recent solar flares from the sun. Queen Tyche her own mother spoke about stirrings in the pool of Nemesis. As far as Venus knew, the pool of Nemesis was where Queen Nehelenia was being held captive in her own mirror. Although Queen Hera of Jupiter countered it with the saying that Earth was being more radioactive than normal.
Venus listened to the kings and queens bicker about the radioactivity of Earth. Queen Victoria of Mars, whom Venus didn't always favor, said that Jupiter had been getting some youma attacks. This was worrying to Venus. Where would the next attacks be? The meeting ended some hours later.
/S/
Helios walked with Venus to the temple of Selene.
"How has the Holy Sword been working out for you?" Helios asked.
"Good," Venus replied.
"Battles are coming and not always for the best," Helios said.
"What do you mean?" Venus asked.
"Nemesis has told me that Nehelenia will be breaking her seal soon," Helios replied.
Fury boiled inside of Venus. Not now.
"I blame it on that bastard of Elysian," Venus muttered.
"It's amazing how you hold a grudge against Earth for a pity reason," Helios laughed.
"For your information Helios, I was supposed to marry that bloody prince of Earth! And I got rejected! How do you think that made me feel!" Venus screeched.
"Soon you will go down to Earth and see what you've been missing," Helios said.
"Why is it you always speak cryptically?" Venus asked.
"Sorry bad habit. While we will endure pain and destruction there will always be light when one needs it," Helios said.
Venus took in a breath.
"Thanks Helios," Venus said.
"You're welcome Lady Venus," Helios smiled.
Serenity watched over Earth. It always seemed like a blue orb of light. The palace was dead silent at this time. Focusing on the Earth the feeling of traveling to Earth spread through her. When her vision cleared she stood in the garden of Elysian.
As she walked through the garden she saw flaming lights in the distance. She ran towards the flames curious. As she ran towards them she saw buildings on fire. Mobs of angry people littered the streets. She screamed as she felt her hair being pulled.
As she attempted to turn her head she saw a girl with long wavy black hair that wore a long sleeved black dress with white silk and a black tiara on her head. The girl pulled her towards a platform. Serenity felt herself being bonded to a pole.
"LET ME GO!" Serenity shouted.
"This is the girl that is to bring us power!" the girl shouted to a crowd that had gathered.
The crowd cheered. Then the girl held a dagger near Serenity's neck.
"Where is the moon kingdom!" the girl demanded.
Serenity whimpered.
The girl laughed amused. The crowd cheered.
"This girl will not speak! Make her pay servants of Metalia!" the girl shouted.
The crowd shouted words that Serenity could not make out. Then a neighing of horses came. Four men in armor on horses ran through the crowd. Then Serenity saw Endymion. He pointed his sword at the girl.
"Who are you?" Endymion demanded.
The girl laughed. She dropped a sack that exploded into purple. When the smoke was gone so was the girl. Endymion undid the bindings. He helped her onto a white horse as they ran towards the castle.
They got off in the garden.
"Why did you come?" Endymion asked.
"I wanted to see you again," Serenity said.
"Well now times have gotten difficult. Rebellions are happening all over," Endymion said.
Serenity was confused. Endymion held her close.
"You have to be more careful. A witch demands that you tell her where your kingdom is so she can take it over," Endymion said.
"I'd never tell her," Serenity said.
"I know that meatball head. I'll always be there right next to you," Endymion said.
The two shared a long passionate kiss. They broke the kiss as they walked through the garden.
Venus ran towards them. She grabbed Serenity's wrist.
"We have to leave Princess," Venus shouted.
"Venus! I can't leave yet!" Serenity protested.
"Princess you must!" Venus shouted.
Venus dragged Serenity away from Endymion.
"Endymion!" Serenity shouted.
"Serenity!" Endymion shouted.
Serenity gave a pleading look towards Endymion.
"My love!" Endymion shouted.
With a flash of yellow the two girls were gone.
Serenity fell onto her bed crying.
"It's for your own protection," Venus said as she left the crying princess' room.
Beryl stood in front of her cauldron. Her alter ego, Princess Beryl was doing well so far. She gave a laugh. Even though she was just a servant in the castle of Elysian, she was going to get Prince Endymion. Her mirror had shown her a picture of a prosperous kingdom on the moon. Then an image of a girl with silver hair. The girl was the key to power.
Her mirror swirled revealing the queen that had given her the idea.
"How do you like your power Beryllium?" the queen asked.
"It's wonderful," Beryl replied.
"Good, the girl is an essential tool to your plan," the queen said.
"Yes, I will get the girl," Beryl smiled.
"I put my faith in you that you do conquer the moon kingdom. I will be gone for some time but never fret Beryllium," the queen said.
And with that the queen was gone. Beryl laughed. She tucked the mirror safely away. The queen would soon no longer be needed. With that Beryl closed up her room and went back to the task of being a servant.
Mars was absolutely positive that Princess Serenity was still out on Earth. After all Venus was still walking around the castle. So she put on a black cloak over her tunic and transported down to Earth.
After a while she decided call it quits. As she walked back to the forest to transport she saw a flame. She followed that flame that lead to a small building. Quietly she opened the door. A man sat in front of a fire.
"Who's there!" he asked.
Mars tried to walk back but she had accidently stepped on the creakiest floor board. The boy stood up and ran after her. Are Earthlings always like this? Mars thought to herself. As the two ran through the gardens and the woods, Mars eventually tripped over a stone. The man held a sword to her neck.
"Reveal yourself," he demanded.
Mars drew down her hood. The boy stood awestruck as he dropped his sword.
"Forgive me, I thought you were an enemy," the man said.
Mars studied him from the dark. He couldn't have been older than eighteen. This earthling had shaggy curly sandy blonde hair and what were probably grey eyes. He held out a hand to her to help lift her up. Sneering, Mars picked herself up.
"Can I have your name?" he asked.
"I'd rather not after this incident," Mars snapped.
"I'm Jadeite," he smiled.
Mars almost felt herself falling for this man. Quickly she snapped herself out of it.
"MARS FIRE IGNITE!" Mars shouted.
The man was confused for a moment before he felt his clothes on fire. Mars blew him a teasing kiss before she transported back to Silver Millennium.
Authors Notes: Just for clarification, at the same time Mars left to Earth, Venus had just gotten back with Serenity. So what did you think of the scene with Beryl? Until next time!
