Chapter 6 – Before the Venus' Trial

Venus/Ruins of the Venusian's Palace

The sky was a bright yellow, when they appeared on the planet. Usagi and Luna were really shocked of what they saw. 'Whoa! It's really the planet of Venus… cool!! It's the real opposite of the Moon… I like it!' she thought and smiled. She glanced at Luna and the black guardian smiled to her. Both looked around them and they noticed the ruins of the columns and all the others rests of the Palace of Venus. Artemis, Wiseman and Galaxia had leaved them as soon as they arrived on the planet to get the Sorceresses of Light. Usagi walked to a columns and pulled her palms against the marble. She closed her eyes and let her soul get into the core of the planet. She could feel the sleeping power of the eternal level. She gasped and opened her eyes. It was a little lower then Mercury's but it was really strange. How could Venus be weaker then Mercury, when the Mercurian's powers were mainly defensive? She shook her head and looked at Luna for advice.

"Luna…?" she asked

"Hum… What is it, Usagi-chan?"

"Do you know why the powers of Venus are weaker of the ones of Mercury, when hers are mainly defensive?" asked the silver haired young woman.

"Hum. Which level?" asked the black panther

"Eternal."

"The power of Venus are generated by the Sacred power of Love… If you aren't a pureblood venusian. You can't use the full extend of the powers…" she explained

"Okay. But do you think I will be able to pass the trials in one shot?"

"I really don't know, Usagi-chan… I really don't know."

A sound took their attention and they both turned around. Galaxia was walking in their directions. She stopped near them and shook her head.

"We will have some problems." she warn

"What is it?"

"The main Sorceress don't went you to receive the Eternal Level Venusian power." she said

Usagi looked down and frown.

"It's not the Eternal Level I want… It's the Celestial Level that I need!" she replied sharply.

"WHAT?!" exclaimed Luna and Galaxia

"Yes. I need the Celestial Level to do what I need to do… and anyway, I had already the Celestial Level Powers of Mercury…" she continued

"What… but when did you get them?" asked Luna shocked

"After the Trial of Mercury."

Galaxia shook her head.

"You know perfectly that the Celestial Level are much harder to control and much more dangerous…" she said

"I know."

"But?"

"Nothing… I will need the Celestial power Level of all the planets of our solar system… even the ones of the Sun… without your respect, Galaxia-san…" she said and turned away.

She walked past the column and went in the direction of the Sacred Tower of Venus. She pass many rest of columns and stopped in front of a pillar. It was at least ten meters high and at the base it had two statues in front of it. It was a man and a woman. The woman had long flowing hair with the symbol of Venus marked on her forehead. Her face was like the grace and beauty personified and her eyes were shining. She was wearing a light dress and had a chain in her hands. The man had short hair with dark eyes. His features were strong and he was muscular. He was wearing a real gold armor and had a silver sword into his hands. They were facing each other. Between the two, there had just enough space for someone to kneel there.

Usagi looked at the tower and smiled. She walked to it and kneeled between the two statues. She closed her eyes and bent her head.

"I hope I didn't disturb your sleep… Goddess of Love… I was wondering if I could use the Celestial Level power of your planet for my quest… I had already achieve the Celestial Level of Mercury and the Eternal Level of Moon… and I know that your Sorceresses don't want me to pass the Eternal Level…" she whispered in Venusian and opened her eyes.

A glow can out of the tower and an image of the Goddess Athena herself appears right in front of her. She was smiling.

"Daughter of Cosmos! I was wondering when you would come see me…" said the Goddess

Usagi blushed lightly and looked down.

"I sorry… Aunt Athena but I had some work to do and since none of the Senshi had attend to the Eternal Level I had to stay with them… pretending being the Moon Princess, heiress of the Silver Millennium and Wilder of the Guinzisho…" she explain

"No need to excuse yourself, my dear niece… I was only stating a fact and don't bee worry. I know perfectly that none of the Senshi had attend the Eternal Level… It's really a shame. I had think that since Pluto is one of the oldest she would had it by now… But it's seems that it won't be before a long time…" said Athena shaking her head.

"What would you say if you knew that the Eternal Senshi of Sun is right here on Venus?" she asked smiling.

"I would be really pleased…" said the Goddess of Love

"Aunt Athena?"

"Yes, my niece?"

"Do you think it's possible to you to help me pass the Celestial Level?" she asked

"Of course, my dear… I was going to gave it to you… since my grand-daughter won't be able to use it…" said Athena

"Why?"

"Simply… I can't let her have it since she would become the Queen of the Silver Millennium…"

"Hum… It's not so sure…" Usagi said

"How come?" asked Athena

"There is another Senshi how can become the future queen of our kingdom…" said Usagi

"Who is it?"

Usagi bit her lower lip and looked away.

"The Princess of Uranus, Serauranus…" she muttured

The Goddess seems surprised.

"Oh no! I don't think what it would be better, a queen that will be filtering with anything that is male gender or a queen that is turned towards female…?"  she groaned.

"Hum… My opinion is that Serauranus is better than Seravenus… anyway, Venus would become Queen of Earth…" she replied

"What?" exclaimed the Goddess

"She's in love with the Earth Prince…"

"Okay. Then I will help you. I think you will be able to receive all the Levels of Venus to the Celestial one…"

"Thank you, aunt Athena."

"It's nothing, my dear niece…" said the Goddess and she disappeared.

Usagi looked during a moment the tower and stepped away. She get back on her feet and walked to Luna and Galaxia. They were talking between them. Usagi smiled and cleared her throat. Both Senshi and Guardian jumped and turned around. Luna went to her side.

"What happened?" she asked

"I had talked with the Goddess Athena…" she said

"And?"

"She will guarantee me to pass the Trial for the Celestial Level…" said Usagi smiling.

Galaxia gaped at her and blinked.

"No! You can't possibly be right… the Goddess Athena had never let anyone get the Celestial Level powers to people who aren't pureblood Venusian…"

Usagi turned away and walked slowly away from the Solar Senshi. Luna growled and followed the Moon princess.

"I really don't know why she's so angry about you… She didn't know that since you are Cosmos' daughter it's as if you are from every planets in the universe." said the black guardian looking up.

"I know Luna… It's just that I don't think I will be able to get to Mars in time…" she said looking at her guardian.

"You will be here in time… don't worry."

Usagi closed her eyes trying to suppress the tears. She heard Luna sigh and without even knowing she was engulfed into a pair of arms. She opened her eyes and gasped. Luna was right in front of her, but in her human form!

"Lu… Luna??" asked the young girl surprised.

Luna smiled to her princess and winked.

"You know perfectly that I can transform when I want."

Usagi blushed and, after a moment, she laughed. She shook her head. They heard a laugh. They turned around and saw a white haired man. A silver crescent moon on his forehead.

"Artemis!!" exclaimed Luna walking to the man.

"Hello, lov…" he grinned and took the young woman into his arms.

They embraced each others and kissed passionately. Usagi groaned and turned away.

"You two… I prefer when you are under you animal's form… It's much less trouble to get you in lines…" she muttered and walked away.

She walked through the plain and ended in front of a cavern. She frown and sighed. Usagi glanced over her shoulder and smiled lightly as she saw the plain around the palace of Venus. She glanced at the cavern and bitted her lower lips. She heard steps behind her. She turned her head and saw Wiseman. He wasn't wearing his hood. He smiled to her and want to her side.

"What are you doing here, Princess?" he asked

"Asking myself if I enter the Cavern of Trials or not." she said seriously

Wiseman smiled and glanced at the cavern.

"Hum… I think it's would be better for you to wait a little… Athena hadn't talked with the Sorceresses at the moment. So you will have to wait a little longer." he said

She didn't say anything and turned away. She sit down on the grass and looked up at the dark orange sky. She frowned as she saw the flashing light of the space station. She sighed and looked at Wiseman.

"Did you have a real name? Instead of Wiseman??" she asked

"Yes… but it's been nearly ten thousands years ago that no one had never call me that… the last person was my death wife…" he said and went sitting beside the moon princess.

"Oh… I'm sorry…" she said

"Nah… I'm okay now… My real name is Hartar…"

"Hartar… strange… that name seems familiar in some way…"

"… maybe you heard it from your mother or your aunt…" he said softly leaning towards her.

Usagi blushed and turned away. She heard Hartar laughing and getting on his feet. He walked to the entrance of the cavern and looked at the symbol that were in the rock. She glanced at what he was doing and looked down. She sighed and looked at her hands. 'What's the matter with me… I'm always doing what is wrong…' she thought and  she glanced at the cavern. She saw Hartar touching the symbols and muttering to himself. 'What is he doing?' she thought and walked to him.

"What are you doing?" she ask

He turned towards her and smiled to her a little.

"I'm trying to understand the process for the Trial. It's giving hints for helping anyone who went to pass it." he said

"Oh…" she said and looked at the symbols on the rock

They were in shining silver. She touched them and they changed from symbols to human text. Hartar and her gasped and looked at each others. They smiled and began to read.

"What are you doing?" asked a voice behind them, after what it seems hours.

"Reading…" said Hartar thinking.

Usagi turned around and saw Galaxia. She walked to her and glanced at the Sun Senshi with a worried expression. They walked a little away from Hartar and sat on a rock. Usagi leaned in her direction.

"Are you alright?" she ask

"Yes… I'm sorry for what I say, back there…"

"Oh no… it's me… I didn't have to be so rude to you…" Usagi said

"Nah… I was coming to tell you that the Sorceresses had decided to let you pass it but at some conditions…" she said blushing.

"What are they?" asked Usagi worried

"Hum… That you go naked and hum… with… ah… hum… Wiseman… and he had to be naked too….." she said red as a tomato.

Usagi turned as red as her and groaned.

"I hate Venusian!!" she growled glancing at Hartar hoping he hadn't heard what Galaxia had said. "Did they tell you why?" she ask

Galaxia looked down and bitted her lower lip. "Hum… no… but knowing them… it's they thinking that since you can't go with Artemis since he's… a… a little occupied for the moment… they will match you with the other male in the group…" she said

"Oh great! They are trying to match us… Yurk! They are always like that! Even during the Silver Millennium…" she said furiously.

The Senshi of the Sun sighed and shook her head. "I know! But I had find my soulmate with their help… but it was a little hum…" she didn't finish and cleared her throat.

"Embarrassing?" asked Usagi

"Yeah! I had to dance stark naked right in front of everyone of the Solar Royal Court and there were even members of the others Royal Families of the Silver Millennium!? I was so embarrassed! Think about it! My mother was there and she was encouraging me as if it was nothing. Mind you, she had done the same thing when she had to find my father… It was in the tradition of the Sun Kingdom she said… Yeah right! I can't recall that moment without  blushing and muttering to myself about the Venusian!" she said looked at Usagi

Usagi blushed and laughed a little.

"Hope they won't do something like that. Okay I know we will be naked but… why did they went that he came with me? It's my trial, no?" she asked panicked.

"I can't tell you… but you will have to go soon…" Galaxia said and she get up.

Usagi swore and get up. Galaxia looked at her in silence and shook her head. She looked at Hartar and frown. He was leaning against the rock and was looking at them with cold eyes. She gulped and looked down. She glanced rapidly at Usagi and saw her paling as she saw the eyes of Hartar. She nodded to her and leaved them alone. Usagi took her breath and walked towards him. She shivered lightly as he touch and arm.

"So… you are going to begin the trial… and with me… interesting." he said coldly to her. He looked into her eyes and closed the distance between them. He leaned towards her and closed his fingers around her throat. He didn't put pressure but only let them against her skin. "You will have to be careful when we will be alone…" he whispered, "Because it's had been eons since I hadn't saw a naked woman…" he pulled his hand of her throat and smirked to her. "Come… Sooner we get in there sooner we will finish that stupid thing…" he turned away and walked into the cavern.

Usagi didn't move. 'What just happened?' she thought surprised. She shook her head and glanced apprehensively in the direction where Luna and Artemis were. She groaned and walked slowly into the dark cavern…

Earth/Makoto's Apartment

Kino Makoto fall on her bed. She groaned and tried to move her sore muscles. 'Damned those Outersenshi!' she thought and closed her eyes. 'Where are you Usagi-chan? Rei-chan need you!' she rolled over and opened her eyes. A flash of green light blind her during seconds. She gasped and nearly yelled…

A green haired man with green eyes appears before her. He was measuring nearly seven foot tall and was muscular. His skin was a lightly shade of green and strangely little bolt of electricity were running in and out of his skin. He had pointed ears and on his forehead there were the symbol of Jupiter shining a green light. He was wearing a black leather pant with green metal boots. His shirt was dark green with a silver armor plate on his chest. He had gold shoulder pads with a dark green cloak falling behind him. A sword and scabbard were attaching at his hips by a black belt.

He walked towards her and kneeled before her.

"Princess Jupiter… We need your help in the Capital… The ambassadors are restless…" he said with a soft voice.

Makoto was thinking that this guy was surely the cutest one she ever see. She was about to tell him that she didn't know what he was talking about when a man in blue appears behind the green warrior.

"Princess Jupiter… It's really grave! Our army is being smashed by the enemy and we can't contact the Princess Moon…" he said with an icy voice.

"Who are you both?" she asked after a moment.

"I'm Shintal… High Lord of Jupiter… your Highness…" said the green warrior and went back on his feet.

The blue one shuddered and sighed. "My name is Merclur… I'm the Lord of Mercury… sorry for disturbing you, Princess Jupiter but we can't contact any other…"

Makoto nodded and looked down. She bitted her lower lip and began thinking.

"Can it's wait until Seramars is healed?" she asked to both warriors.

They looked at each other and frown.

"Princess Mars is injured?" asked Shintal

"Yes… she's ill…" said Makoto looking away.

"We can wait… but not too long." said Merclur and he disappeared.

Shintal sneered and shook his head. He bowed swiftly and turned away. He was about to disappeared when Makoto stopped him. She grabbed his arm.

"Please, Shintal… can you stay with me? Until… Seramars is healed?" she asked blushing

He looked at her during an eternity and smiled slowly. His eyes flashed a deep green and his appearance changed. He was now six foot tall with brown hair and green eyes. He had a little scar on his right eyes and he was wearing black pant with a green t-shirt. Makoto smiled…

Earth/Hikawa Jinja

Hino Rei moaned as she opened her eyes. It's had been four days since the outersenshi and the innersenshi had fight in the temple's courtyard. She shook her head. 'I need help! Sacred Fire of Mars! Please grant my wish to Seramun! Might her pass all the… the Trials successfully and rapidly!' she thought and lose her conscious…

Unknown to her and anyone else, the Sacred fire had answered her wish…

Konnichiwa!
