Sailor Moon Chpt 7…
As Uranus and Neptune make plans to meet once again with King Darien, Pluto steps down from the gates of time to commune with Selune and Serenity.
"I still find no sign of Princess Serena; I have however been able to ascertain that she is still alive. We can't find her because she's not on the moon. I believe that once Uranus and Neptune finish their mission with King Darien, the three of us might be able to walk the lands of Earth and find our beloved princess."
The two remaining Moon sovereigns nod their heads at Pluto's words. Selune offers to take Pluto's place at the gates but Pluto shakes her head no.
"I will remain there until Uranus and Neptune call for me. I would not have left today, but you needed to know that she is still alive and we will find her. There is one other thing that may help. Awaken the inner senshi and their guardians. With their combined powers it may be possible to find our princess and bring her home."
The two queens look at each other, not knowing what she's referring to. Pluto sighs as she explains.
"Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus are all on Earth. They have no memory of ever being senshi. They do however all retain skills from when they were senshi."
"Do you know where they are? How we can contact them?" Serenity is willing to do almost anything to get her daughter back by this point.
"Actually, you'll see them at the ball. They are King Darien's advisors and guardians. As for contacting them, I brought a couple of friends along to help with that."
Two cats, one pure black the other untarnished white, both with crescent moons in their foreheads step forward.
"Luna, Artemis, you're still alive. We thought you dead many years ago." Serenity gathers the two into her arms.
"As you can see, the rumors of our deaths are greatly exaggerated. How can we help our beloved Queen?" Artemis rubs his white head against Serenity as Luna looks around the room.
"Where is Serena? I would have expected to see her by now."
Luna's question brings both cats a brief, hard hug and they are put on the floor.
"Serena was stolen from us five years ago. We've tried in vain to find her all this time and are hoping that maybe with your help we can finally bring her home."
Both cats look up at her, not knowing what or rather how they can help.
"Pluto brought you here to revive the memories of some old friends. Mars, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are on Earth. None of them have their memories of being a sailor senshi."
The cats look at each other, sorrow filling their eyes. Suddenly Artemis looks up at Serenity. "You said that Sailor Mars is there too? She can't be, she was killed trying to keep us from our imprisonment."
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, but I wanted to get something written as I work all weekend. Remember Sailor Moon says, "Keep Reviewing!"
