Behind These Eyes

Chapter 8

A Time Long Forgotten Prt. III


By: Kazuma20


Adrian stood in the room with his group. They sat around the table. He throws a black rose onto the table.

Gaius picked up the black rose and said, "So, these this mean what I think it means."

"Yes, another mission that starts in a couple of days. It will be after the ball." replied Adrian.

"What is the mission?" asked Helios.

"I'll open the file when we leave." replied Adrian.

"So, we have to wait till then?" asked Solomon.

"Yes." commented Adrian.

"I guess we should enjoy our time at the ball, then." replied Dagonet.

"I couldn't put it any better." stated Adrian.


The ball had started more than twenty minutes ago. Adrian and his group stayed off to the side. They were drinking some champagne.

Adrian held the glass neck between his thumb, index, and middle finger. He took a sip of the champagne. In the background was a Swiping Orchestra playing.

The waiter passed by and Adrian put his glass on the tray.

"I'm going to go find someone to dance with." replied Adrian then walked off.

The other four only nodded there heads and drank the champagne silently.

Adrian walked to the throne where Queen Serenity sat and bowed his head. He then offered his hand and asked, "My Queen may I have this dance?"

She stood up and accepted his hand. She replied, "yes, of course, Adrian."

He led her to the dance floor. He put his right hand on her waist and they held their other hands close to their heads.

"My Queen I have something to say." replied Adrian.

They danced in close position to each other in the steps of the dance.

"What is on your mind Adrian?" asked Serenity.

"I realized something over the years before Metallia destroyed the Sol Kingdom."

"What's that?" she then asked.

"That we as a society have so much potential. If we could unleash the maximum potential. It would open up infinite pates to our future."

"Go on." She stated.

"Suspicion, ignorance, prejudice, are the dark emotions directed on those that could be loved. If love is the brightest light then are these emotions created from the shadow it casts?"

"Yes." she answers before continuing, "Love is what draws people to each other. It's the emotion that makes us as a society continue on with hope that the future generations are happy and content with themselves in their lives to seek it out."

"Thank you My Queen." replied Adrian and looked off into the distance.

"For what Adrian?" she asked curiously.

"Nothing." he said as the dance winded down. "Let me leave you with these parting words."

"What's that Adrian?" she asked.

"The roots of human fillings even if that much is understood. The human mind for some reason will not change. The one's with the gift fail to understand the fillings of the one's who don't. And the one's who don't envy the one's who do." he finished.

He led her to the throne and after she sat down on the throne. He bowed his head and said nothing before walking off.


Adrian walked to the table to get some champagne. He saw the others where on the dance floor with their own partners. They seemed to enjoy the ball to him. He picked up the glass and took a sip.

He then felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and came face to face with the Prince of Earth Endymion with his short black hair.

"How are you Prince Endymion?" asked Adrian.

"I am find Emperor Adrian." he replied.

"I heard the announcement Prince Endymion. The one that was has spread through the whole Solar System."

"Oh, yes, my engagement to Princess Serenity. The what of you Emperor Adrian. When are you going to get married?" he asked.

"Me married? That probably won't happen Prince Endymion." replied Adrian.

"And why is that Emperor Adrian?" he then asked.

"I have immortality and any woman I marry would be dead in 200 or 500 years." commented Adrian then added. "Everyone in my group has near immortality."

"I'm sorry to hear that Emperor Adrian." he stated in a little sympathy.

"My life is to the Queen and the Princess of the Moon Kingdom."

"You're very dedicated to your work."

"That I'm. That I'm." he replied before downing the rest of the champagne.

"I'm going to go see if Princess Serenity would like to dance." replied Endymion then walked off.

Adrian put the glass down. He then pulled off his right hand glove. His hand was pale in color. On his ring finger was a gold ring on it where the twins below his name. On the other side was the year he took the throne of the Sol Kingdom with a picture of the sun. In the middle was a crimson emerald underneath in a circle around it was, 'Regnum Sol.'

He stared at it for a while and thought, 'It has been so long since I was made Emperor. I had this made by the jeweler when I took the throne.'

He then pulled the glove back over his hand. Then with his right hand he reached around his neck and pulled out a pendant.

It was on a gold chain. In the middle was a crimson emerald about the size of his palm, and on the edge was gold were the chains attached.

'This is my family heirloom passed down throw the family from father to son. Father died immediately after passing this to me.' he thought and then put it back under his shirt.

He turned and walked to the door. The guard there saluted with their right hands. One asked, "sir, are you leaving the ball?"

"Yes, I have work to do." he replied.

"All right, sir." he commented and opened the door.

"Thank you." he stated and walked out throw the door.


Adrian stood in the command room on the ship. A map was in front of the group as the stood around the table the map was on. A pen was in Adrian's hand and he circled five areas on the map then drew lines from the x to the four circles.

"This is our drop off point." replied Adrian pointing to the x.

"So, will there be any combat?" asked Gaius.

"No, this is just a reconnaissance mission for those new to the group. Like I was going to saying these circles represent the enemy's position, these lines represent you pat there. You will up with one of the new recruits."

Solomon . . . "

"Yes, sir."

"You are paired with Solyma."

"Abigail will be paired with you Dagonet."

He didn't answer just nodded his head.

"Gaius your with Bors."

"All right."

"Helios. You're paired with Sophia."

"As you wish brother."

"And Artorius will be paired with me."

Adrian picked up the map and folded it up. He then stuffed it in his pocket. The other's grabbed copies of the map.

"Now we will reach the plant in two hours time. Pray, get some rest, or whatever you want to do before we get there, to help yourself mentally and/or physically ready. Dismissed."

"Yes, sir." they replied.


They stood in front of the transporter pad's white light. Adrian had given them their destinations.

"Dagonet and Abigail find a perch. Make sure you have your arrows ready if we run into trouble."

"Yes, sir."

"Before we begin the mission from here on in you will be referred to by code names. For the security of the mission. Artorius your Grey Fox. Bors your Blue Ox. Solyma you are Orange Horse. Sophia your Purple Snake. And Abigail you are Silver Tiger. Got it?"

"Yes, sir."

"Put your ear piece's in and then we are ready to go."

They all put their ear piece in and stepped throw the white light of the transporter.

They were transported to the plant's surface. All ten stood there.

Adrian tapped his ear piece in his ear and the link came on.

Captain DeNoon. Can you hear me?

Yes, Red Phoenix you are coming up crystal clear, sir.

Good. Record all communications and also make a hard copy, too.

Yes, sir.

"Everyone get to your point know!"

"Yes, sir!" they said.

Teams of two ran off into different directions. They soon reached their points.

Sir, Green Dragon reporting in with Purple Snake.

White Tiger at the point with Blue Ox.

Black Tortoise reached point with Orange Horse.

Golden Dragon reporting found perch with Silver Tiger.

This is Red Phoenix that's excellent. All right let the Op begin.

Yes, sir. was all there answer.

Adrian turned to Artorius by his side. He then pulled a leather bound notebook and a pen. He then handed it to Artorius who took it from him.

"Write down what I tell you, okay?"

"Yes, sir."

Adrian pulled up a pair of binoculars to his eyes and looked throw them. He saw five battalions of heavily armored solders.

"Grey Fox there are five battalions of heavily armored troops." he replied

The ear piece went off on him. He pressed it to link the call so they could all hear.

Red Phoenix here. Go ahead.

Green Dragon, sir. These troops don't seem to be moving.

Adrian zoomed in with the binoculars of the troops. He saw what Helios was talking about.

Green Dragon I don't think these troops are real troops. I think they are holograms. We have received bad intelligence. Everyone get back to the Extraction Point that's an order.

Yes, sir.

"Let's go Grey Fox. We need to get back to the Extraction Point."

"Yes, sir." replied Artorius. They stood up and then started to run back to the point.


Adrian and Artorius ran their way to the rendevous point. Something caught Adrian's eye and he stopped. Artorius stopped next to him.

"What is it, sir?" he asked.

"I saw something." replied Adrian.

"So, it seem's the great General Adrian Fahnenheits has taken a new student." came a voice from thin air.

""I know you're there show yourself." replied Adrian looking straight ahead.

A man appeared and Artorius was scared at whom he saw. The man that they said was as the second best knight only after Adrian and was also trained by him, too. But he was supposed to be dead.

He had dark red hair. He wore a jacket with a high collar and long sleeves. It fastens on the right side with a single jewel-like button that was black in color. On the shoulders are fancy epaulettes. He simple wore dark blue pants to match their jackets with a sword by his side. With knee-high boots that were black and he wears them with the ankles of his pants overtop rather than tucked in.

"Well hello, sir." he replied sarcastically in a sweeping bow.

"I thought you were dead Joseph Angel." replied Adrian.

"Well, sir Adrian. I learned from you and I wouldn't die easily."

Adrian withdrew his sword with his right arm. Joseph did the same with his sword.

"Artorius get back to the extraction point and have the others wait there for me." stated Adrian.

"Yes, sir." he replied and ran off.

"So, I see you still have an accommodating side of you for your student's." commented Joseph.

"Yes I'm. But where have you been since your supposed death?" asked Adrian.

"Well if you must know I was on Earth."

They both ran at each other and their swords clang together. Adrian pushed him back and diverted the sword point to the ground.

The point hit the ground and the green grass turn brown. Joseph pulled his sword out of the ground and slashed at him.

Adrian jumped away from the slash. Joseph came again with another slash. Adrian brought up his sword to block.

They let go of their power and as their power hit each other they created a thirty foot crater. Sparks flew around and hit the ground around the crater.

The earth from the crater came raining down on them. That was in small pieces.

Adrian and Joseph pushed their swords against each other. They tried to push the other away from the strike.


Artorius kept running till he reached the extraction point. He saw the others were already there waiting for him and Adrian. He ran and stopped in front of Helios.

"Sir, General Adrian was attacked."

"By whom?" asked Helios.

By a man named Joseph Angel, sir."

"He supposed to be dead!" yelled Gaius from the back.

"Did my brother say anything else?" Helios asked ignoring Gaius.

"Yes, to wait for him here."

"Then we wait here."


Adrian leaned back and Joseph pushed more on him. Adrian then kicked Joseph in the stomach. Joseph flew to the crater wall and went throw it. He then slides on the ground creating a trench.

Adrian thrust his sword into the air and started to spin in a circle fast. A ball that was purple started to form and glow and a twister formed around the sword the same color. Twirling up the wind wrapped around it as the sword was spun faster. Then with the thrust of his sword downward it was let loose.

He yelled out at the same time, "Draco Inferi Spira!"

Joseph started to stand up from the kick. He saw the twister bearing down on him. It was destroying the ground and anything it touches. The twister hit him with the power of a destruction beyond what he thought capable.

Joseph was thrown into the air by the twister and the energy of it ripped through his body. He was in a lot of pain when the twister died down. He fell to the ground fast.

Adrian then yelled, "Draco Inferi Ictus!"

There was only the big ball of energy in Adrian's left hand. He pulled it back and the energy shot at Joseph. It sent him into the ground creating another smaller crater. Joseph just laid there stared wide eyed up at the sky. His own blood all over his cloths.

Adrian stood there waiting for Joseph to get back up from the attack. All of a sudden his ear piece beeped.

Yes, go ahead.

Sir, we got a distress call from the Moon Kingdom.

What! What did it say?

Sir, all it is was an old distress code nothing to it. No, messages what so ever.

Adrian was going to answer, but was stabbed in the back right shoulder. He felt the poison tip of the sword as it entered his stab wound.

"You aren't going anywhere." replied Joseph.

Joseph pulled the sword out. Adrian turned around and hit him with the butt of his sword across the face.

Joseph fell to the ground and stood up. Adrian fell to his knee's blood leaked out of his back wound.

"You won't make it back anyway. By now Queen Beryl has started to attack on the Moon." he said.

"So, you made sure the Queen got this information because you knew she would send us. To get revenge on us and you went into service for this Queen Beryl." he replied then asked, "But how did you get the information to her?"

"I still have friends in high places, Adrian Fahnenheits." he replied and ran his hand through his red hair.

Adrian stood up with the poison as it ran through his body. He pulled his sword up and stabbed Joseph threw the stomach.

"Now you should die for real, Joseph." replied Adrian.

Joseph fell to the ground with blood shooting of the wound in a fast session. He looked up and Adrian stood above him holding his right shoulder with his left.

"Even if I die, Queen Beryl will still destroy the Moon Kingdom and Queen Serenity." he stated before laughing.

His laugh soon turned into a cough with blood. The blood flew into the air and on his face. He soon died with blood on his face eyes' opened.

Adrian turned and started to run to the Extraction Point as fast as he could, with his hurt shoulder.


Adrian staggered back to the Extraction Point where the other waited. His sword was sheathed he stopped and stood straight up and was breathing a little heavily.

"Let's get back on the ship." replied Adrian.

"Brother you okay?" asked Helios.

"Yeah, my body healing speed closed the wound and got the poison out of my body." replied Adrian.

"So, why do you look paler then usual?" asked Solomon.

"It's just blood loss."

"All right." replied Solomon.

"Now go throw the transporter."

They went throw the transporter. Adrian found a place in the communication room. He dropped into a chair and fell asleep.


Adrian was woken up by Helios. He slowly opened his eyes still siting down.

"What is it Helios?" asked Adrian.

"Brother we are back on the Moon. We just docked on the surface in the only usable hanger." replied Helios.

"Good. Let's get off this ship to see if everything is okay."

They walked to the door hatch and saw seven people waiting for them. The other three were fallowing him and Helios.

They stopped next to the door. Adrian turned to the Admiral.

"Open it up Admiral Walsh."

"Sure, sir." he replied and pressed a few buttons.

It hissed and opened up. They looked down out the opened door and were five stories from the ground.

"There's no one in the dock, sir." commented Bors.

"I see that. So, our only option os to jump down." replied Adrian.

He jumped down and was fallowed by Helios, Gaius, Solomon, then Dagonet. The other five soon fallowed them. Captain DeNoon and Admiral Walsh took the stairs next to the door down.

They all stood on the ground in a circle.

Adrian was the first to speak, "Admiral you and the Captain stay with those five."

He pointed to Artorius, Bors, Solyma, Sophia, and Abigail. Then pointed to the four behind him.

"We will go see what in the world is going on." replied Adrian.

"Okay, sir."

Adrian turned and walked away with the other four fallowing him.


They reached the stairs at the dock and ran up them. The door was closed and they pushed it opened then walked through it.

They then ran left down a long corridor. They then turned right, down another long corridor. They saw dead personal all around them, they saw blood all over the walls.

They turned right again and went down another corridor. The dead were getting more and more regular. They turned left and ran up some stairs and into the last corridor. They stopped at the top of the stairs.

"I can't believe what happen here." commented Gaius.

"I know it's like a bad dream. But it's real and you can't wake up from it." stated Solomon.

"Dreams? This is more like a nightmare." replied Dagonet.

"I wonder what we are going to find when we reach the throne room?" asked Helios.

"I don't know let's just pray Queen Serenity is still alive." replied Adrian and ran down the corridor.

The others just fallowed him.


They ran into the Throne Room the door was already opened. Adrian saw Queen Serenity laying on the ground. He ran to her as he reached her side and slide to a stop then dropped to his knee's. He picked up her body, his right hand going around her shoulder to cradle her head, and he touched her waist.

"My Queen, are you okay?" he asked softly.

He received no answer from her. He started to cry a little. All of a sudden a hand touched his face.

"Adrian don't cry for me the Moon Kingdom legacy will live again, because I sent the Senshi souls to be reborn in the future. The moon cat's are in a deep sleep till they are needed. Adrian I have a favor to ask you and your knights."

"You can ask anything my Queen." he replied.

"I like for you to continue your job when my daughter and the Senshi are reborn."

"I will my Queen. This I swear to you."

"Thank you, Adrian." she stated and her hand fell from his face to the ground.

Adrian just held her and tried not to cry over her death.

"My Queen. I'll send your soul ahead so you can be reborn with your daughter." he whispered to himself.

The crystal around his neck glowed bright crimson in color and sent her soul ahead in time to be born ahead of the Senshi.

"What did you do, sir?" asked Gaius.

"I sent her soul to be reborn again in the future with her memories." replied Adrian.

Just then Captain DeNoon and Admiral Walsh walked into the Throne Room. The other five fallowed them.

"Sir, is the Queen dead?" asked Captain DeNoon.

"Yes, I want the Captain and Admiral to stay here." he replied and pointed to the new knights. "You five fallow me."

"Yes, sir." they said.

Adrian walked out of the room with the new knights fallowing him.


He found an undamaged lab, and walked in. He stopped in the middle and the other stopped by the door.

"What is this place, sir?" asked Sophia.

"This is a Cryonics Lab."

"But what are we doing here?" asked Solyma.

"I'm putting you five in Cryo-Sleep." replied Adrian.

"But why, sir?" asked Abigail.

"Because it is possible. It was still in test stages so, it is possible to loss your memory."

"What?"

"Just get in the capsule it is a casual risk to take."

"Yes, sir." they replied.

They got in with their weapons. Adrian pressed a few buttons and they were put into Cryo-Sleep.

"Have a good sleep my students." he stated and exited the room.


His next stop was the still intact control room. He typed a few buttons on the keypad. He then hit the enter button for the control system.

He had put the system of the castle in stand by mode and in cloak mode. So, it could not be seen to the human eyes and to technological devices.


Adrian reentered the throne room and stopped by the other six people.

"So, what do we do now?" asked Admiral Walsh.

"We all get reborn in the future. With all our memories will be intact, but won't awaken till we reach a certain age." he stated.

"Let's do it."

"Okay." replied Adrian and put his hand in the middle of them. "Come on."

"All right." they replied and put their hands over Adrian's.

"Gentlemen it's been an honor to share the field of battle with you. We all came over from the Sol Kingdom after it was destroyed and we all entered the service of Queen Serenity. Some of us went into the military aspects and the rest of us worked for her secretly, but it was a good life. I'll see you on the other side."

Adrian started to chant in another language. Then they dropped to the ground dead in the throne room.


Ranma woke up in a cold sweet. He sat on the bed and was breathing heavily. 'Man, that was an intense dream. I can't believe it.' he thought.

To Be Continued . . . in Chapter 9:The Return of the Memories.
