Chapter Seven - Run away

Three Years After The Establishment of Crystal Tokyo.

She stared up towards the big blue orb she had once called home with a searing pain in her heart. Fully dressed as the Queen of the Moon and Queen of Earth, she rubbed her hands together until they became raw. She stood alone in her courtyard away from prying eyes, filled with stress and anxiety. Her once big blue eyes were misty, filled with sadness and a longing. Looking at her now red hands she sighed.

Why had their futures turned out like this?

'We never saw it coming' she thought as she sat down on a concrete bench by a beautiful water fountain.

'Normalcy took over our lives and we never noticed it, noticed the changes' she thought to herself as she rubbed her knees. She still wore her wedding ring. She would never take it off, not while there was still hope, there had to be hope, there was always hope, right?

Laughter.

She remembered that sinister laugh surrounding her frame as she was pushed up against a wall. His laughter rebounded against the walls striking her from all angles as the darkness closed in.

Fire.

Flames surrounded his figure as she felt someone grab her hand.

"We have to get out of here Serenity" the voice of her Fire Senshi said firmly, swallowing her own anger and hurt as she threw fireball after fireball at brainwashed soldiers and newly formed Youma.

Gold.

Chains of gold wrapped around the palace soldiers, slinging them high up in the air, clearing the way. Her commanding tone held fear in them as her blue eyes landed on Serenity.

"We got them out, don't worry, Mercury is stabilising them as we speak" Venus said reassuringly as she held Serenity's arm.

Blood.

There was blood on the bust of her dress. She could taste the blood as she felt her sore bottom lip; it was cut, bitten into. She then felt her neck and it stung to the touch, a long line from her ear to the base of the top part of her chest, burning.

Thunder.

Lightning strikes further cleared the way as they ran. Ran towards the last of the teleportation systems, hacked into so the moment they reached their destination, the device would blow up. It had all been planned well, they had noticed the changes finally but it had been too late to immediately affect anything. A strategy had to be discussed. But they had lost so much….

Chibiusa.

She had been born early and this added to the normalcy of life. She hadn't expected anything; everything seemed so perfect, too damn perfect. The little four year old bundle had been taken by Jupiter earlier and left with Mercury, Mercury was waiting for them.

She noticed her dress was ripped. She felt hot inside thinking about what he had attempted to do, how sinister and evil he was, how he derived pleasure from pain attempting to corrupt her very soul. She had been lucky to get away.

But she was scared.

She knew she would always carry it, that fear. He had changed before her very eyes, transformed into a frightening person capable of the most terrifying acts of madness. His blue eyes were frosty, cold but then they would bleed red filled with unbridled passion burring with an addiction towards her. He was going to simply use her, torment her, play with her like a toy and trap her in his clutches choking the very light out of her.

She ran.

They all ran.

Panting, clutching each other never looking back. They had no choice, they had to leave.

The moon felt cold to her, why did it feel so cold?

Silence against the back drop of the beautiful skies filled with stars. Her own heavy breaths and the click clacking of their shoes echoed against the pristine white walls of the Moon Palace.

Anger.

How did they not see it coming? Blue eyes flashed with confusion, violet eyes held rage, soft blue eyes held sadness, green eyes looked determined whilst the last set of blue eyes remained emotionless.

Breathing, they were still breathing.

Four figures lying on marbled slabs with computers' surrounding them and tubes coming out of their arms.

Blinded.

How did she not notice them, the subtle changes that had made them seem somehow, different? Their usual determination to put their mission and protection of their Princess above all else….. How did they not notice the cooling off of such feelings? She cursed her stupidity.

Lust or Love?

She had thought they were developing deeper feelings, she had thought he was finally showing his affections for her more but somehow it got mixed up…what a mess it all was!

"It won't be long before they attack us, they have the upper hand" Venus said as she walked around the body of Uranus, tapping her fingers on the slab.

"How the hell did they get Helios?" Mars all but shouted, remembering Helios's own cold eyes looking at them dispassionately. He looked torn inside, as if he were fighting something.

"Hansuke…or Zachary, whatever his name is, he was guardian to Helios or at least, a protector and the golden crystal does belong to Endymion" Jupiter said trying to stay calm.

"BUT THAT THING ISN'T ENDYMION IS IT!" Mars yelled again balling her fists. She should have killed Jadeite, he always did this, getting brainwashed and turning against her, this was the reason why she hated men so much! Jupiter looked at Mars steadily but said nothing.

"We're all hurting here Mars but shouting at each other isn't going to do anything. We need to figure out what's happening, we need a plan" Venus said calmly. Mars nodded but nothing would remove the anger she felt.

"Chaos" the Inner Senshi all turned around to see their Queen. She was shaking and still covered in blood but nobody made a move, she looked as if she would snap any moment.

"I can feel it….it went inside of Mamo-chan….took over him to get to me….using him….why…..does this….always happen?" She looked up at her friends and instead of seeing their Queen; they saw Usagi, their friend. Mars was the first to wrap her arms around Usagi followed by Venus, Mercury and Jupiter.

"We'll figure this out. We have fought chaos many times before and we always beat him" Jupiter said trying to hold back her own tears.

But this was different; this was a whole lot more personal. This had been planned and planned well.

Chaos had waited, bided his time infecting Mamoru and the Shitennou, weaving its dark web around Hansuke and Helios, corrupting their pure souls. She didn't notice until it was too late how much Mamoru had changed. The little things he did that now looked evil. The way his eyes would trail her body, the intense and aggressive love making, his possessiveness, his rage….

Then the transformation happened.

His hair flew out wildly, spiking out and falling to the middle of his back. His eyes flashing blue and red, his teeth, appearing a little sharper and his nails….he grew in size, more muscular, more powerful appearing bigger than life.

The Shitennou.

They remained much the same in appearance but their acts; it brought them all back to the days when Metalia had control over them.

Hansuke….Helios….

Hansuke who had now transformed fully into Zachary held a similar possessive look towards his Queen, but it was more in check as he took orders from his King.

Fighting….

The Senshi had almost not escaped. They fought the Outer Senshi until Pluto was the first to break out of the mind control. Seeing what was happening all around them, she released a devastating attack on not only herself but also the Outers, knocking them out.

"Save us…." Pluto pleaded with Serenity before passing out.

Dark energy.

It took all of Serenity's strength to escape his hold once he had transformed. He took her lips hungrily whilst scratching at her thighs, hoisting her up against a wall as if he were to simply just take her.

"I have you little Moon Queen, you will forever be within my hold, I will destroy you" he had said smoothly, his warm breath sending unwanted shivers down her back. He then kissed her roughly again before biting down on her lip making her scream. His right hand trailed from her ear down to her neck, his sharp nails cutting into her skin.

Run.

Mars had saved her dodging attacks from the very palace guards that had been trained under these men.

Prayer.

She prayed to Selene for the darkness to release its hold on her love. But no answer came. No, she had to leave, she knew it was time.

Now they were alone, on the Moon where all their histories began. She looked at her Senshi and wanted to cry. How were they to fight chaos when it had control over the very people they loved so much? They were all broken now…

"We will fight" Venus said now looking at Hotaru. Venus then clenched her fists and stood proud and tall.

"We will fight them, we will free them and we will seal Chaos away. We have sacrificed too much to simply bow down to Chaos. We must stay strong, we'll figure this out" Venus said. Serenity nodded closing her eyes against the next wave of pain that erupted from her chest….why did it hurt so much….all this fighting….all this war….

"Will the Outers be ok?" Jupiter asked looking at Neptune who looked so regal even when in a deep sleep.

"Their vitals are fine, they should wake up soon but we won't have time for that. My belief is that the Shitennou and King Endymion will launch an attack against us" Mercury said. Luna and Artemis were huddled into a basket with a soft pillow to keep them comfortable after they had been attacked by a palace guard. Serenity was still lending her power to heal them whilst Diana was with the little Chibiusa.

"So Venus, what is our next move?" Mars asked quirking an eyebrow. If Mars could have her way, she would head back to earth and burn Jadeite alive but she knew her place, her place was besides her distraught Queen and the leader of the Sailor Senshi. Chibiusa was safely asleep, still so young. A horrible thought came to Serenity's mind…was this the reason why Chibiusa had been so susceptible to evil, to becoming Wicked Lady, was there a little chaos born within her? Serenity felt a light headed at the very thought but now wasn't the time to investigate that, no, now was not the time.

They all looked at Venus, waiting for her thoughts as she looked deep in her own thinking.

"There are a number of options. We could sit it out for a little, regain our strength and take the fight to them" Mars eyes brightened at that but then she saw Venus was about to continue.

"But then if we don't beat them, they have us and Neo-Queen Serenity….We can't wait for the Outers to wake because we don't actually know when that is going to happen. My idea is that we kidnap Helios….now hear me out. He wasn't as far gone as the others. He looked as if he was still fighting off Chaos. If we're to stand any chance of winning, we need Helios on side" Venus said.

"He's still nothing more than a child, albeit an old one" Jupiter said shaking her head.

"He's still a very powerful child. I don't expect him to fight because he can't but his knowledge, that's what I want" Venus said determinedly.

"Venus is right, even as a child he would still be able to pull out a vast amount of knowledge, maybe we can go to Elysian with him for answers" Mercury suggested.

"Zachary is also able to go to Elysian….No we can't do that, we'll have to bring Helios up here, to the Moon. Serenity's power is heightened on the Moon so it will hold Chaos back for a time. That means Serenity will have to stay on the moon, we can't leave her alone, Mercury, you have a good control over the command centre so you can communicate with us whilst we're on the mission" Venus stated. Mercury nodded whilst Serenity remained quiet.

"We can't let King Endymion anywhere near Serenity, we don't know exactly what he wants from her" Venus added closing her eyes.

"And Serenity will be able to heal Helios here on the Moon" Jupiter said.

"We'll have to catch him when Zachary isn't around, we haven't fought him but for him to be Helios's protector, he must be powerful" Mars added. Venus nodded in agreement.

"Well girls, prepare yourselves, this plan is going to have to get started ASAP if we're to stand a chance of freeing them" Venus said ignoring the fact that she herself was shaking. Once they had all agreed Jupiter was the first to react when Venus collapsed to the floor.

"She must be exhausted" Serenity said kneeling besides Venus. Serenity then used the Silver Crystal to stabilize Venus.

"Bring her to one of the guest rooms and let her rest, we all need to recover a little before we can do anything" Serenity ordered leaving no room for argument. To be truthful, they were all tired from it all. They needed time to recover their thoughts and rest.


He could still taste her blood as he sat down on his throne. The whole planet had easily succumbed to his will. All these years he had slowly released his dark energy, making sure his hands reached everywhere.

'Pathetic fool' Chaos sneered, blocking out the inner shouting of the real King of the Earth.

'She's mine now, you will forever watch her suffer at my hands, why not combine with me and enjoy her' Chaos snickered as King Endymion raged against him. Chaos slowly manipulated King Endymion, making his soul submit to the darkness.

"They'll come here, I am sure of it" King Endymion said darkly as Jadeite walked into the throne room and bowed.

"Should we create a trap for them?" Jadeite asked. King Endymion looked as if he were contemplating before his eyes flashed red.

"I already have an idea" he said before smirking evilly. Jadeite also smirked revelling in the darkness that now plagued his spirit, he wanted his Fire Senshi and he would have her and bend her to his will, no matter what.


Hi Guys

I am really sorry this took so long. I'm trying to update my unfinished stories, its just taking a lot longer than expected. Well, here is the next chapter which shows the change in direction. I originally did finish this story but I wasn't happy with it so I re-did it which is why its taking a lot longer, the last chapter was the transition chapter and from now is when I deleted most of it on my computer so this chapter is the latest I have done on it. Chapters 1-5 is from the original I had on my computer. I am working on the next chapter now.

Just to say what has happened so far from the last chapter. Chaos went dormant inside Mamoru and so did the dark powers within the Shitennou and Hansuke, so they have been living as normal up until three years into Crystal Tokyo. Mamoru's mind had been slowly corrupted by Chaos throughout and now is the actual explosion of it all. The Outer Senshi had been brainwashed for a time but Pluto managed to break them out of it last minute, they will wake up soon.

TropicalRemix - The eventual healing will be right at the end of this story, how it is going to happen I am unsure at the moment but hopefully an idea will come :-)

LadyKeren - I thought the same thing, I can imagine him with longer hair, I tend to like the male anime characters with long hair for some reason...:-)

Guest - Chibiusa is young in this so she won't be doing anything in it, I will mention her here and there but she's only four so she can't effect the story much :-)

Flareup4Ratchet - Thank you for the review :-) In this chapter they realised their mistake but at the moment things look a little bleak

Mercenary Nemesis -Thank you for the review - I still have writers block on it at the moment, too many stories whirling in my head and now I am just getting things muddled up but I know I need to concentrate on finishing my stories before starting new ones. It is frustrating when writers block happens...

Skylar and Sky The Cat - thank you for the review :-)

Thank you to all those reading this story, adding it to favourite and following :-)

I have finished a chapter for 'A Timeless Love' so will be adding it soon, I might try and do another chapter on it before adding it.

Have a great week guys xxx
