An Explanation For Princess Amy

"Zoisite! My friend! What has happened to you!" Princess Amy exclaimed now worried about her lord and master.

Lord Zoisite just groaned because of the extreme physical pain he was now in.

"Both he and Malachite were wounded in battle," Princess Amara explained to Princess Amy seriously. "just like my Seiya."

"There is only one thing we must do." Princess Kakyuu said to Princess Amy sounding quite serious.

"What should we do?" Princess Amy asked Princess Kakyuu now sobbing over her lord.

"We must return to the Moon Kingdom." Princess Kakyuu told Princess Amy now gravely serious.

"I understand." Princess Amy sobbed to Princess Kakyuu.

It was a long trip back to the Moon Kingdom seeing as Prince Darien had to drive their aircraft while following Prince Yaten who drove the other one.

Princess Mina then unbuckled herself to go sit in the back with Princesses Amara & Amy who were watching over Lords Malachite & Zoisite.

"So how is he? Tell me," Princess Mina asked Princesses Amara & Amy. "how is my Malachite fairing?"

"Not too good." Princess Amara answered Princess Mina.

"Malachite has been banged up pretty good." Princess Amy sighed. "just like my Zoisite."

Just then and there, Princess Mina began having a memory about her battle against Queen Beryl.

Within her memory, it was a few days later, it was early in the morning as Princess Mina & Lord Malachite of Earth & Venus had come out of the Moon palace to find everyone else packing provisions for their trip to Venus.

"Wow Lita!" Lord Malachite exclaimed.

"You are sure looking better!" Princess Mina told her Jupiterian friend.

Princess Lita was loading up a basket of sandwiches with other baskets of food she & Lord Neflite had cooked in preparation for their latest mission.

"I am all healed up." Princess Lita said to Princess Mina & Lord Malachite.

Lord Neflite was checking food inventory when he noticed that there was one chocolate chocolate chip walnut muffin missing from the chocolate chocolate chip walnut muffin basket.

"Oh no," Lord Neflite exclaimed. "Lita! There is chocolate chocolate chip walnut muffin missing from the chocolate chocolate chip walnut muffin inventory!"

Princess Lita heard the sound of someone crunching into a walnut.

"Jedaito! Ichido sono mafin o kaesu," Princess Lita scolded. "Jadeite! Return that muffin at once!"

"Shikashi... shikashi... shikashi watashi wa chōshoku o sukippu," Lord Jedite protested to Princess Lita. "but... but... but I skipped breakfast!"

"I told him not to take a muffin Lita." Princess Raye said.

"But Jedite didn't listen," Lord Neflite said to Princess Lita. "anyway... since Amy, Amara, and Zoisite are still resting... we will eat much later."

The Kinmoku Princes & Princess Kakyuu were also loading up their own aircraft with their own gear including their musical instruments for when they performed as the Three Starlights.

"Boku no utsukushī Purinsesu Haruka... kimi wa otogibanashi no ohimesamadattara... boku wa Shirayukihime ni narimasu... sarani suimin no tame ni... boku wa subete no mottomo utsukushī ohimesamadesu," Prince Seiya whispered gently. "my beautiful Princess Amara... if you were a fairy tale princess... you would be Snow White... because even in sleep... you are the most beautiful princess of all."

"Arigatōgozaimashita boku no aisuru ōji... boku no Seiya," Princess Amara sighed. "thank you my loving prince... my Seiya."

Once the last bits of cargo were loaded, Princess Lita & Lord Neflite carried the sleeping bodies of Princesses Amara & Amy and Lord Zoisite onto their aircraft as Lord Malachite sat down in the driver's seat with Princess Mina sitting right beside him.

"We will follow you to the planet Venus." Princess Kakyuu called out to Lord Malachite.

"Fair deal." Lord Malachite called back to Princess Kakyuu.

Further along into their journey to Venus, Lord Malachite lost control of the aircraft which awoke the sleeping Princesses Amara & Amy and Lord Zoisite.

"Nani ga okotte iru," Princess Amara asked Lord Malachite feeling worried. "what is going on?"

"Yes," Lord Zoisite agreed. "what is going on?"

"That's right," Princess Amy asked Lord Malachite drowsily. "why awaken us when we were having such pleasant dreams?"

"Our ship's being torn apart!" Lord Malachite answered Lord Zoisite and the Princesses of Uranus and Mercury now feeling shocked.

"Torn apart," Princess Mina asked now feeling worried. "by what my dearest Malachite?"

"I do not know Mina," Lord Malachite answered. "that is why I'm going outside the ship to investigate."

"Ā chūi shite kudasai watashi no Kuntsuaito," Princess Mina begged. "do be careful my Malachite."

"I will be as careful as I can be." Lord Malachite promised Princess Mina.

Lord Malachite then kissed Princess Mina tenderly upon the lips just before he left.

When Lord Malachite left the aircraft, Princess Mina began to have a far off and distant memory.

Within Princess Mina's memory, Prince Sammy was trying to get Lord Zoisite to touch the poisonous rose bouquet that he had created, Prince Seiya was talking to Lord Jedite about his snack food choices.

"Jedite?" Prince Seiya asked.

"Yes," Lord Jedite asked Prince Seiya. "what is it?"

"Would you mind ever so terribly... not grossing my dearest Amara out when you eat next time... just try eating a snack that doesn't sound too sickening to Amara?" Prince Seiya asked Lord Jedite kindly.

"No problem." Lord Jedite said to Prince Seiya.

Princess Amara came back from Queen Serenity's infirmary just in time to witness something truly barbaric but at the same time, also witnessing an act of heroism.

"Touch the rose stems," Princess Amara heard Prince Sammy tell Lord Zoisite. "touch them I say!"

Just as Lord Zoisite was about to touch the thorny stems of the bouquet of Dark Roses of Endless Sleep, he had heard a welcoming voice calling out to him.

"No Zoisite," Princess Amy warned. "I do not wish for you to go under eternal sleep again!"

Princess Amy jumped in front of Lord Zoisite so as to protect him from the dark spell but Princess Amy herself ended up touching the thorny stems of the Dark Rose of Endless Sleep bouquet therefore falling under the bouquet's black magic.

"No," Prince Sammy called out. "anyone but my beautiful Amy!"

All of the other royalty & nobility at the royal ball had surrounded the now sleeping Mercury Princess.

"Amy did it... she really did it," Princess Amara & Lord Jedite said while sobbing their green eyes out. "and all for love... all for Zoisite!"

"Does that mean... Amy will awaken as a sailor scout... I mean she did save Zoisite after all?" Princess Serena asked Queen Serenity.

"No Serena," Queen Serenity said. "that's not exactly how it works."

"What do you mean Queen Serenity?" Princess Mina asked.

"There may be Mercurian blood coursing through Zoisite's veins... however... he is still only half Mercurian." Queen Serenity answered Princess Mina.

"Now I see." Princess Mina said to Queen Serenity.

"What must be done with little miss Sleeping Mercury over here?" Lord Jedite asked.

Princess Michelle shot a glare at Lord Jedite.

"Someone must take Amy to her tower bedchamber." Queen Serenity answered Lord Jedite with an extremely heavy sounding sigh.

"Allow me to carry Amy," Princess Lita said. "for I am the strongest girl here."

"But I am the fastest," Princess Amara said reasonably. "so I should be the one to take on this important task."

"Lita," Princess Michelle said. "you are acting like a total 2-year-old! Why don't you simply just let Amara handle the job of carrying Amy."

"All right." Princess Lita sighed knowing she had been defeated.

After Queen Serenity tucked Princess Amy into her bed, Lord Zoisite looked longingly at the sleeping form of Princess Amy of Mercury.

"What is Amy doing?" Prince Darien asked Lord Zoisite.

"My prince," Lord Zoisite said. "you won't even believe me if I tell you!"

"Go ahead & try me." Prince Darien told his youngest lord.

"I think Amy is defending my honor in her sleep!" Lord Zoisite answered Prince Darien.

"Are you certain about that Zoisite?" Prince Darien asked.

"Triple certain Darien." Lord Zoisite answered without hesitation.

"Zoisite," Princess Amy shouted in her sleep. "I will always love you my Zoisite!"

"That is truly amazing!" Prince Darien whispered.

"Zoisite! My love," Princess Amy called out still in sleep. "please don't you leave me!"

Trust me Amy, Lord Zoisite thought. I really had no intention of ever leaving your side!

Lord Zoisite looked again at Princess Amy's face... she was still determined as ever to not marry Prince Sammy of the Sun Kingdom.

"What time is it?" Lord Jedite asked while yawning.

"It is 9:00 P.M." Princess Trista answered Lord Jedite.

"And time for the rest of you to follow the Mercury Princess's example and hit the sack." Queen Serenity said to Princess Serena & the others.

"No way Queen Serenity," Lord Neflite disagreed. "there is absolutely no way the rest of us guys are going to share a bedroom with Jedite without our earplugs in!"

"Why would you even need earplugs my Neflite?" Princess Lita asked.

"Guess if you can my lovely Lita." Lord Neflite said.

"Because Jedite snores louder than a motorbike's engine at night." Princess Lita guessed.

"Spot on Lita!" Lord Neflite said.

The very next morning at 6:00 A.M, Lord Zoisite awoke but did not even bother to take his earplugs out.

Oh Amy... my dearest Amy, Lord Zoisite thought sadly. I wish there was a way for me to awaken you!

Prince Darien was the first to wake after Lord Zoisite.

"How did you sleep last night?" the prince asked his youngest protector.

"Not too well." Lord Zoisite answered Prince Darien.

"Did Jedite keep you up all night with his snoring?" Prince Darien asked Lord Zoisite.

"No... not exactly." Lord Zoisite answered Prince Darien with a good long stretch.

"Were you thinking about your princess?" Prince Darien asked Lord Zoisite.

"You know it," Lord Zoisite answered Prince Darien. "I just wish I could somehow reawaken her!"

"Don't worry Zoisite," Prince Darien said gently. "you have a heart of gold."

"Do you really think so Darien?" Lord Zoisite asked scratching his head.

"I know so," Prince Darien said to his youngest lord. "and you should use that heart of gold of yours to reawaken that princess of yours!"

After breakfast in the dining room, all of Princess Amy's dearest friends gathered in her bedchamber to witness her being romantically reawakened by Lord Zoisite.

"You can do it Zoisite." Princess Hotaru said glancing at Prince Sammy with a kind of romantic interest in her eyes.

Lord Zoisite placed his hands upon the heart of Princess Mercury and began to sing in a familiar but long gone form of the language of Mercurian so he could wake his beloved Princess Amy.

"This cannot be!" Sailor Neptune exclaimed.

"How does he know how to speak Ancient Mercurian when it has been one of the solar system's long forgotten languages for centuries!" Princess Amara called out.

"I have no idea... and I'm the Sailor Scout of Time!" Princess Trista exclaimed.

Lord Zoisite continued singing to Princess Amy in the beautiful language of Ancient Mercurian.

Until at long last, Princess Amy had finally opened her blue eyes to see her true love's blonde hair & green eyed face smiling down upon her.

At the ball that evening, Lord Zoisite & Princess Amy were sitting on the sidelines happily watching the other couples waltzing on the dance floor... including Princess Hotaru of Saturn who had found herself romantically interested in Prince Sammy.

However, it was too bad that Prince Sammy was still betrothed to Princess Amy of Mercury because Princess Hotaru secretly wanted Prince Sammy's heart in the same manner that Prince Sammy already grasped tightly to Princess Amy's heart.

As for Princess Amy of Mercury & Lord Zoisite of Earth & Mercury... for now they were happily busy talking about technological inventions so they could improve the world they lived in.

Princess Mina then came out of her memory by the sound of Lord Malachite calling for assistance.

"Master! I need some assistance! There are bewitching demons out here!"

Prince Darien and the others transformed leaving Princesses Amy, Mina, and Raye inside the aircraft where it was the safest place for them to be.

"Death Reborn Revolution!" Sailor Saturn called attacking a huge group of bewitching demons.

"Space Turbulence!" Sailor Uranus called also attacking a huge group of bewitching demons.

But the bewitching demons that both Sailors Saturn & Uranus had already defeated had regenerated.

"Oh no! This is bad!" Sun Knight exclaimed.

"What is it?" Tuxedo Mask asked Sun Knight.

After the big battle against the bewitching demons, it was lunch time on board the aircraft as Lord Jedite was now hungry enough to eat a horse.

After lunch was over, Lord Malachite was talking to Princess Kakyuu.

"We will follow you to Venus this time!" Lord Malachite called to Princess Kakyuu.

"Kōsei torihiki Kuntsuaito," Princess Kakyuu called. "fair deal Malachite!"

When the two aircrafts landed, King Apollo & Queen Aglaia of Venus were welcoming their only daughter with open arms.

"Mina Darling," King Apollo exclaimed. "you are all right thank goodness!"

"Dad!" Princess Mina exclaimed reaching up to hug her father.

"Anata no ani wa mada kyūshutsu ga hitsuyōdesu," the Queen of Venus told Princess Mina seriously. "your older brother still needs rescuing."

"I know Motoki is in danger! And I will rescue him!" Princess Mina said to her parents courageously.

"What!" the others around Princess Mina shouted now learning this new fact about their ally's history.

"Yes it's true," Princess Mina confessed to her loyal friends. "Sir Motoki is in fact... my older brother."

"Well if you need to rescue your older brother then the rest of us minus Raye & Amy will help you," Princess Serena said to Princess Mina. "Moon Prism Power!"

Princess Serena then transformed into Sailor Moon.

The rest of the Solar System Princesses followed Princess Serena's lead and transformed.

Then Princes Darien, Seiya, Yaten, Taiki, & Sammy transformed and then prepared to go off to battle when Princess Amy stopped Lord Zoisite.

"Zoisaito matte," Princess Amy called out. "wait Zoisite!"

Lord Zoisite stopped and turned to face Princess Amy, "Oh! How silly of me! Just how could I have forgotten to kiss you!"

Lord Zoisite just then kissed Princess Amy tenderly.

"Buji ni watashi ni modotte kudasai," Princess Amy said to Lord Zoisite tenderly. "please return to me safely."

"That I will." Lord Zoisite said.

Sailor Moon simply tapped Lord Zoisite softly upon his right shoulder.

"We are all ready to go." Sailor Moon said to Lord Zoisite.

"I am all set to go now too." Lord Zoisite said softly to Sailor Moon.

"Good," Princess Mina said. "now let's go rescue Motoki!"

Once outside the Venus royal palace, Princess Mina saw Sir Motoki being choked by Queen Beryl.

"You guys deal with the army of bewitching demons," Princess Mina called to the others. "I'll rescue my big bro."

"Good luck Mina." Sailor Uranus said.

Princess Mina had gone off to face Queen Beryl as well as rescue her older brother while her friends dealt with Queen Beryl's bewitching demon army.

Sir Motoki was grunting & struggling hard to break free from Queen Beryl's grasp.

"Foolish young Prince and Knight of Venus," Queen Beryl laughed at Sir Motoki wickedly. "struggle all you want because no one will be able to save you now!"

Sir Motoki was still struggling against Queen Beryl when Princess Mina entered.

"Motoki!" Princess Mina shouted therefore breaking Queen Beryl's concentration.

"Get back Mina." Sir Motoki commanded.

"No Motoki! I won't stand back! I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU!" Princess Mina screamed courageously.

Suddenly, an orange transformation pen appeared in the air before the Venusian Princess.

Back with the others, Lords Malachite & Zoisite as well as Sailor Star Fighter got badly wounded by Queen Beryl's bewitching demon army.

"Malachite," Tuxedo Mask called out running over to his two wounded generals. "Zoisite!"

"Sailor Star Fighter!" Sailor Uranus called out running over to Sailor Star Fighter and kneeling.

"Uranusu... yurushitehoshii," Sailor Star Fighter said in a weak & wounded whisper. "Uranus... please forgive me."

"No my Seiya," Sailor Uranus screamed out nearly sobbing. "no! Do not die on me!"

"Ima Uranusu... mewotojite... mewotojite... to oboete iru," Sailor Star Fighter said coughing up some dirt from the battle. "now Uranus... close your eyes... close your eyes... and remember."

Sailor Uranus closed her dark green eyes and she began to have a memory.

Within Sailor Uranus's memory, it was a few weeks ago upon the Earth's moon upon the frozen pond, 17-year-old Princess Amara was snapped out out of her thoughts by her best friend, Princess Michelle of Neptune.

"What's the matter Amara?" Princess Michelle asked her long time best friend.

"Someone I can barely remember." Princess Amara answered Princess Michelle sadly as her lover, Prince Seiya of Kinmoku skated up to Princesses Amara & Michelle.

"Was it your mother that you were thinking about?" Prince Seiya asked Princess Amara.

"I remember my mother singing to me... my father wouldn't tell me the secret of my mother," Princess Amara said. "but I do know the lyrics to the only song she sang to me."

"How does your mother's song go?" Prince Seiya asked.

Princess Amara cleared her throat & began to sing the only song that she had learned from her mother.

Princess Amara: Omoeba kore made;

Unabara sakamaku arashi mo;

Hitori de norikoete kita;

Nakama wa iru keredo;

Wa ga mi wo mamoru no wa kekkyoku;

Jibun jishin da to;

Arasoi no hazumi de ichido dake;

Fureatta sore dake nano ni;

Wasurerarenai fukai manazashi;

Migi no katasaki ni yubi no kioku;

Atsuku nokori mune made itai;

Hajimete no kurushii kimochi;

Mou kokoro ni wa ano hito dake.

"That was a beautiful song Amara." Princess Michelle wept bitterly.

"Can you sing in it in English?" someone asked Princess Amara.

"I will Hotaru," Princess Amara said to the Princess of Saturn who had come over to join Prince Seiya and Princesses Amara & Michelle. "but when the time is right and only when the time is right!"

"Oh man!" Hotaru groaned.

Princesses Trista of Pluto & Kakyuu of Kinmoku and Princes Sammy of the Sun, Yaten of Kinmoku, & Taiki of Kinmoku came over to their comrades.

"Queen Serenity requires our presence in the council room." Princess Trista said.

Princess Trista & the others raced off to Queen Serenity's council room.

When they went into the council room, Queen Serenity had an announcement to make.

"Boys & girls," Queen Serenity said. "just like Princess Kakyuu and Princes, Darien, Sammy, Seiya, Yaten, & Taiki... and Lords Malachite, Zoisite, Neflite, & Jedite, the time has now come for you to earn your warrior powers!"

"It will be quite a challenging exam." Luna & Artemis said.

"Oh great," Princesses Serena of the Moon & Mina of Venus groaned in unison. "an exam!"

"Don't be so nervous Serena." Prince Darien said comforting to his one and only true love.

"What are you talking about Darien?" Princess Serena asked feeling tremendously confused.

"The exam is not as difficult as Luna & Artemis make it out to be." Prince Darien told Princess Serena lovingly.

"What do you mean?" Princess Serena asked Prince Darien still feeling baffled.

"Just listen to what your mother has to say about the exam." Prince Darien whispered to Princess Serena.

"There is no need to prepare for this test by reading books," Queen Serenity said to those who had not taken the test yet. "all you would have to do would be rescue someone from your own home planet... resulting in a courageous sacrifice."

"See how easy the test is?" Prince Darien asked Princess Serena.

"So all I have to do is rescue someone from the moon," Princess Serena asked Prince Darien. "that is easy!"

"I told you Serena." Prince Darien laughed joyfully.

After the announcement, the younger royals & nobles went out to Queen Serenity's sunny front courtyard, Princess Amy was sitting on a bench reading a beautiful poem while Princess Hotaru watched from behind a tree.

Princess Hotaru then ran back to Prince Sammy.

"Sammy," Princess Hotaru said to her beloved prince. "I have someone that I would like you to meet."

"Really Hotaru Darling," Prince Sammy asked. "who?"

Princess Hotaru then grabbed Prince Sammy by the hand.

Princess Hotaru & Prince Sammy both looked at Princess Amy who set her book down.

"Hello... just who are you?" Princess Amy asked Prince Sammy.

"My name is... my name is..." the Prince of the Sun stammered nervously to Princess Amy of Mercury.

"Amy... this is Prince Sammy of the Sun also known as Sun Knight." Princess Hotaru said.

"Hello." Princess Amy said graciously.

"Hello." Prince Sammy said shyly.

"I sure hope a friendship will be blossoming soon." Princess Hotaru said.

Princess Hotaru then left the 14-year-old Princess Amy of Mercury alone with the young 9-year-old Prince Sammy of the Sun Kingdom.

"You look like someone familiar to me." Prince Sammy said to Princess Amy softly.

"I don't know why," Princess Amy said to Prince Sammy quite shyly. "because I have never seen you before."

Suddenly Prince Sammy of the Sun had heard a malevolent voice which he felt was coming from directly behind Princess Amy, "Would you please excuse me for a moment your highness?" he asked the extremely timid Princess of Mercury feeling terrified of how she would react.

Sailor Uranus then came out of her memory just long enough to squeeze the hand of Sailor Star Fighter.

Back with Princess Mina and Sir Motoki, Queen Beryl saw Princess Mina reach out for the orange transformation pen.

"No," Queen Beryl asked Princess Mina. "just what do you think you are doing?"

"Venus Power!" Princess Mina shouted holding her transformation pen high in the air.

Princess Mina then transformed into Sailor Venus.

"Amazing Mina! You saved my life," Sir Motoki exclaimed. "and you have earned your sailor scout powers! Nice touch!"

"What! Oh no! This simply cannot be happening!" Queen Beryl exclaimed.

"Crescent Boomerang!" Sailor Venus shouted at Queen Beryl.

Sailor Venus then attacked Queen Beryl wounding her.

"This isn't over Sailor Brat! When next we battle we will battle on the moon," Queen Beryl said. "and I will be taking one of your own with me to the Dark Kingdom deep down in the Negaverse!"

Queen Beryl then went straight back to her palace in the Dark Kingdom in the Negaverse.

It took Sailor Venus a bit of time before she realized what Queen Beryl meant.

"Oh no," Sailor Venus shouted. "Prince Darien!"

When she got back to the saw a gruesome scene.

"Princess... Mina..." Lord Malachite said in a weak & breahless whisper.

"You mean Sailor Venus Malachite," Sailor Moon corrected. "Mina has now achieved sailor scout status."

"Sailor... Venus..." Lord Malachite said once again in a weak & breahless whisper.

"Oh my Malachite," Sailor Venus exclaimed. "what has happened to both you and Zoisite!"

"We... were... badly... wounded... by... Beryl's... bewitching... demon... army..." Lord Zoisite answered Sailor Venus also in a weak & breathless whisper.

"Oh boy Zoisite... Amy is not going to like seeing you all torn to pieces!" Sailor Jupiter said fearfully.

"Anata wa ne... Tadashī... Sērā Jupitā," Lord Zoisite said in another wounded & breathless whisper. "you're... right... Sailor... Jupiter..."

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news here," Lord Neflite said to his comrades. "but we've got to be getting back to Magellan Castle to grab Amy & Raye."

"Right as usual Neflite." Tuxedo Mask said.

Once they detransformed, Prince Darien and Princess Lita carried the badly wounded bodies of Lords Malachite & Zoisite and Prince Seiya onto the aircraft.

Once everyone arrived back at Magellan Castle, Princess Amy of Mercury could not believe what she was seeing.

Princess Mina was instantly snapped from her memory by Princess Amara.

"Mina... Mina," Princess Amara called out. "are you all right?"
