Time Travel Mission
Capter X: The kidnapping, Sort of…

Adam was deep in thought as he paced on a small sheet of natural sun rock. How should he attack the moon palace that night? Should he just go old school and burst through the door and kill everyone except his sister? Or maybe he should sneak in like a ninja and kill only the princess while she was alone? The sun prince continued to ponder these ideas as his father and a general walked up to him.

"Still thinking of plans son?" asked the sun king in his deep voice. Adam stopped pacing and turned backwards to look at the two men. He cleared his throat and said "Yes father. Cassandra just gave me some more news about the palace so I'm trying to figure out the best way to attack."

"That's very military of you, my son. Tell me, will you be ready for tonight?"

"Of course father. In fact, General, start rallying the troops. I want everyone ready by the time we attack." The general saluted with a "Yes your Highness!" and marched away. Adam smiled at himself and turned back to his father.

"Don't worry a thing father. As soon as we have the princess, we'll kill her instantly. Than the silver crystal will go to you." King Johnathan whacked his son sharply on the head and said "Don't you remember Adam? You are supposed to bring the moon princess to me. Then We'll hold her hostage until we get the crystal. Then we kill them."

"Your correct father. I was getting ahead of myself. I'll have to remind the other men of that though. it seems that almost everyone is anxious to fight." The sun king smiled awkwardly at his favorite child and said "Do what you must."

"Father," asked Adam attentively. "What do you wish we do with the other princesses from the other planets?" King Johnathan thought for a few moments, his hand resting on his still shorter son before carefully answering.

"That is up to you son. You can take them prisoner if you wish, but the only one that matters is the moon princess. If it makes it easier, just kill them."

"Yes father."

Cassandra fell to the floor of her borrowed closet in sudden pain and angst. Her hands were high up on the wall where she drew the circle and talked to her brother. She was looking down at the hardwood floor and saw droplets of water splashing on it with soft plumps. She removed one of her hands from the wall and touched her blue eyes. Why was she crying? Who's side was she on? Cassandra knew that she loved her brother, and wanted to prove to her never appreciating father that she was as strong as Adam, but her chest wouldn't stop hurting when she was talking to her brother about their plans for the night. Was what that ghost general said about her becoming soft for the other princesses true? It was a fact that she was beginning to like them, worry about them when something happened. But this was war and she knew her own side. Didn't she? Cassandra tried to wipe the tears away but more just filled their place in her eyes. The blond sun princess removed her other hand from the wall and hugged her self, giving up on trying not to cry. She knew they would die soon enough. Cassandra thought of all six of the princesses she had gotten to know the past few days. Serious and emotional Emilia, Funny and clownish Natasha, even the grown up Noelle and Rini. She gotten to know them all, not just as the princesses of their own planets, but as the individuals they were. Thinking this, more tears streamed down her face and the pain in her heart increased. She argued with herself that what she was doing was right, that the sun people should have the silver imperium crystal and not the moon people. But in her subconscious, she knew it was already lost. All of the princesses, even the one she was pretending to be, even though she's never actually met her before, had become her friends. Heck, even Austin the guard and the princes were her friends. What was she going to do?

Cassandra remained quiet for a few short minutes, letting the tears fall until the ache was gone. Once her tears were dried, Cassandra sat with her face to the wall, holding herself to keep her conflicting sides together. When she knew it was safe to leave, the sun princess stood up slowly, her hand on the wall for suport. She picked up the beautiful gown that she decided for the ball and got dressed. When she was done tying on her sandals, she raised one hand shakily in the air and snapped her fingers. The air around her wavered as her distinguishing looks morphed into someone else's. She then took slow steps out of the walk in closet and left the room for the last time. She knew what side she was one and who to fight.

The day had finally arrived. The coronation and birthday ball. All the preparations had been done early so the girls and servants had a few minutes to get their outfits for the special day together. Noelle hummed to herself as she skimmed the closet full of dresses, still unsure of what to wear. Rini played with her long pink hair at the vanity mirror while Noelle hummed.

"Will you just pick something! You're almost as bad as Mina or Melody." Said Rini, getting annoied at her friend's antics.

"Give me a break Rini! I'm not as naturally pretty as you are. Besides, I want a dress that's not to showy or to plain. Something that will allow movement but doesn't make me look like a grapefruit."

"You are so picky Noelle." Rini chuckled to herself as she let the hair she piled to her head fall downwards. She sighed as she picked up the brush and started combing it. 'I wish I could do my old style. I sort of miss the meatballs.' She thought sadly as Noelle said "ah-ha! Bingo!" there was a sound of cloth rustling as the red head pulled the dress from the closet and walked out with it in front of her.

"What do you think?" she asked with a smile. The dress was a strapless white gown with lace and gold ribbon around the waist. The ribbon went around the back to be tied in a bow while flecks of gold glitter sprinkled around the outer layer of the lace that went around the white cloth below the waist. Rini smiled at it and said "That's perfect."

"Do you think Austin will like it?"

"Yeah! Of course, he will. Why, are you gonna try to flirt at the ball tonight?" Noelle's face turned as red as her hair while she answered with an angry "No! I just want to look pretty that's all." Mika and Diana laughed quietly to themselves while Rini just shook her head. She knew the answer under the answer, but she was smart enough to keep it quiet. She'd let Noelle and Austin figure it out. Noelle quickly changed into the dress and grabbed her dancing sandals. She laced them on and pulled her hair out of it's traditional pigtails. She stole the brush from Rini, who still had it in her hand and started to untangle the red locks.

"Should I leave it down or up?" she asked herself. She looked in the mirror at herself and made a disgusted face. "Ug! I'm lousy at hair and makeup."

"That makes two of us then." Said Rini, resting her head on her hand that was propped on the vanity mirror's dresser. A knock at the door startled the girls. Carie and Renee walked in while the members of the future composed them selves once again. Both of the princesses were wearing gowns like Rini and Noelle, only in their traditional colors. Carie was wearing an orange halter top dress that shimmered as she moved while Renee was wearing a green spaghetti strapped dress that was sparking with invisible glitter and gems.

"Are you girls ready yet?" asked the Venus princess, eagerness dancing across her face.

"Almost. Just have to figure out hair and makeup." Said Rini, looking at her reflection. She made a face at herself while Carie sighed with annoyance.

"Um, Carie, why don't you go on ahead and tell the others we'll be on our way. I'll stay and help them out." said Renee, ushering out the Venus princess.

"Okay, but don't be late." Said the princess from Venus. she left the room as Renee walked over to the two girls. She smiled and said "Sorry, she's just excited."

"It's all right." Said Noelle, her turn to play with her hair. "I am too, but not in a crazy sense." Renee laughed as she picked up the comb from the table and said "True. Now hold still Rini and lets see what I can do." the pink haired girl concentraited to keep her head still while Renee started to unsnag any left over tangles. After a few attempts the princess of Jupiter decided to tie Rini's long pink hair into pigtails where her buns used to rest and tied them off with large gold bows. She left a few strands to hang around her face and curled them to finish the look. Renee quickly did her friend's makeup simply and smiled to herself.

"What do you think?" she asked. Rini did a few cute faces in the mirror before she said "I love it. It looks perfect!" 'But I still miss the buns.' she added in her mind.

"Good. Noelle, it's your turn." The red head sat perfectly still as the princess of Jupiter brushed her hair and mumbled ideas to herself. After a few minutes of thought, Renee pulled out a thick white ribbon from one of the drawers and tied it around Noelle's head. She tied it into a bow above the red head's left ear the fluffed the hair in the back. She then curled the tips inward and added a few curls to the red locks. She then did the makeup for Noelle the same as Rini and said "okay. All done. What do you think Noelle?"

"I like it." She said without hesitation. "It looks perfect."

"Thank you." Renee smiled at the two before she opened the door near her and said "Now, lets get going." The three princesses left the room and walked down the hallways until they reached the ballroom. There, they were engulfed in pastel. The ribbons, curtains, walls, food, everything was a shade of pastel. An orchestra nestled in the corner of the room, the players dressed in pastel green, were tuning their instruments while the princesses walked around, checking everything. Emilia was not there yet. Rini, Noelle and Renee started to walk towards the center of the ball room as other people fallowed in behind them. Most of them the future members didn't recognize, but a couple they did from things like history books. The gusts consisted of of a mix of members from the other planets as well as some of the moon's politicians and common folk. Everyone wanted to be at the party to get away from the war tonight. Ann and Natasha quickly grabbed the Jupiter princess and dragged her awway from Rini and Noelle, saying something about the decorations being messed up slightly. The two Orion princesses floated towards the refreshments with nothing else better to do. Carie walked up to them after a while and said "Hey girls. How are things?"

"Fine. Where's Emilia?" asked Rini. She knew that Noelle was wondering the same thing.

"You don't know?" asked the princess form Venus. "She's not supposed to come out until they announce her." the two from the future looked at her and with realization and said in unison "o-o-o-h-h-h…" Carie laughed and said "I take it this is your first coronation ball?"

"You got that right." Said Noelle. "Mine's not for another two years. Rini's is next year."

"So you're older Rini?"

"Just by a few months." Said the pink haired girl with a smile. "But our parents figured once a year is better than having one and another three or four months later."

"I see." Carie didn't ask how they were only a few months apart but the two from the future could see that she was curious. An idea hit the red haired princess like a thunder bolt and she said "You see Carie, Rini's mom died while in childbirth years ago. Her father remarried my mother, who was single with me because my father died in a battle, about a year later." Carie smiled in understanding while Rini couldn't help but wonder how Noelle was able to come up with something like that so fast.

'Maybe she should become a writter when she get's older.' the pink haired girl thought with a smile. she imangined Noelle older, sitting at a computer typing up a random story while the orchestra dressed in pastel green slowed their last song to a stop. Everyone looked to the second door in the ballroom. It was elevated a few feet into the air with a elegant staircase leading from it to the ground. A page at the bottom of the steps and dressed in pastel blue pulled out a piece of rolled parchment paper from his coat pocket, then cleared his throat.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, her highness, Princess Emilia." The orchestra started to play softly as the page curled up the partchment and another page located at the top of the stirs opened the door. The princess of the moon walked out with a chorus of clapping from the crowd. She was wearing her normal princess dress while her hair was curled slightly and beads of gold pearls surrounded her buns. She had on a gold pearl bracelet on each wrist while lace trailed from her back bow as she stepped down the stairs. Everyone clapped until she was at the audience and she said "please everyone, go ahead and enjoy yourselves." The orchestra started to play more lively music once again and the princess disappeared into the crowd. Natasha walked in front of the princesses at the food table a few feet away and Carie said "I need to ask Jessica something. Be right back!" The Venus princess walked away from the two Orion's princesses and disappeared into the crowd. Rini sighed to herself as she took a deep sip of the red punch while Noelle said "Everything okay Rini?"

"Yeah." The pink haired girl answered. She tossed the small plastic cup into a small trash bin next to the table and said, "I'm going to talk to Emilia. I think she needs some advice from another moon princess right now."

"Are you sure it's a good idea? I mean, what about our cover?"

"Oh yeah, I'll just do it nonchalantly. See ya." The pink haired girl left the red head alone at the table, quickly disappearing into the crowd before the other could say anything. Noelle huffed to herself and tossed her punch cup away. She spotted Austin standing by the door, his arms crossed over his chest and his eyes skimming the crowd. He looked like a real guard at that moment...and boared out of his mind. Noelle smiled to herself and walked over to him, saying once she was close enough "Yo!" He looked over at the call and smiled.

"Hey Noelle. Where's Rini?" he asked, looking around. Noelle flipped her hair from her shoulder and said "Rini decided to talk to Emilia for a little bit. You know, to give her some princess-to-princess advice." The red head couldn't help but smirk to herself. Okay, she admitted that she just flirted with the hair flip, but she didn't mean it. Austin nodded at her statement and asked, "So, are you having a good time?"

"Not really. This kind of thing really isn't my forte." Austin nodded again and looked off into space.

"Are you okay Austin? You seem really distracted."

"I'm fine. Last night the real Milky Way visited me with some updates." Noelle smiled and said "Well? Don't leave me hanging Austie!"

"Don't call me that or I wont tell you."

"Sorry." The guard smiled at her with a stiffed laugh and said "She said the killer was changed and that the date was later. But she wants me to keep an eye on both you and Rini."

"Why?" the smile disappeared from his face as he looked away. Noelle put her hands on her hips, put on an tough face and said "Austin? Tell m-" the sound of glass breaking stopped her in mid sentence. Everyone in the crowd turned to the large windows and skylights as several figures climbed down to the ground on ropes or just jumped othrough the broken glass. Military men from the sun had crashed the party, no pun intended. It was not the ghost men the Senshi and Austin were used to however, but just your normal run of the mill army people from the fiery star-planet. The Orion guard jumped in front of Noelle, his sword drawn as the crowd screamed. The skylight in the middle of the ceiling shattered as someone's foot kicked it and a rope was dropped. The prince of the sun swung down and stepped onto the tile floor, his boots crunching on the broken glass. Noelle pulled out her transforming locket and said to Austin, "Go find Emilia. I'll fight off as many as I can until Rini gets here." He nodded, fighting the urge to tell her no and ran into the chaos that was created by the Sun people's arrival. Noelle quickly looked around her and saw no one was paying attention to her before she raised her locket high into the air.

"SOLAR SYSTEM COSMIC POWER MAKE-UP!" she shouted as gold lights spiraled from her locket. Her dress morphed into her gold and peach fuku while her hair was put into it's more traditional pigtails. As soon as her transformation was complete, Solar System pulled out her whip and called it out.

"SOLAR SYSTEM WHIP LASH!" she aimed her tool at the nearest army man and flipped him onto the next closest one. Both men grunted and fell unconscious with a crunch of the tile floor. The mass of civilians all let out a gasp at once while the army personal circled the gold senshi. Solar System repeated this a few times and knocked down the circle around her. She jumped into the air, her whip raised and multiple gold energt tentlces spitting out from the top.

"SOLAR SYSTEM MULTIPLE WHIP LASH!" She called out. The multiple rope-like attacks grabbed multiple sun men and flung them onto varoious objects. She continued until she cleared a pathway before Solar System shouted on top of her lungs "Everybody! Get to safty!" the royalty, politicians, and common folk all scrambled to the door through the pathway the Senshi made while she herself went the opposite direction. She stopped moving and a large amount of the soldiers surrounded her, their huge bodies glistening with sweat. The gold Senshi put away her whip and took out her gold wand, spinning it in her hand as she raised it above her head.

"SOLAR SYSTEM GOLD BLINDING DUST!" she shouted, her wand still spinning. Gold dust flew from the attack, spreading until it coated the group that surrounded her. The men all cried out in pain as the dust burned their eyes and their skin. Most of them stepped back to clean out their eyes while others fell to their knees and clawed at their faces. The gold Senshi jumped over two that were on their knees like she was playing leapfrog and found herself a few feet away from prince Adam's back. A few guards stood between them, but didn't see her. Adam raised his hand into the air and two ghost men appeared, princess Emilia struggling in their arms. She let out a scream as she tried to kick one of the ghost men, but her high-healed shoe went right through him. Adam laughed and said "Don't struggle princess, or you will surely die here and now."

"Bite me." She said, spitting at his feet. Sailor Solar System snicked to herself. 'I guess she got that from me or Rini.' she thoguht. Adam just smirked and pulled out his sword from his holster. He pointed the sharp tip at her nose and said "I so much wish to kill you now Emilia, but my father wishes to see you before your death." He put his sword away as a shout was heard over the army men and the terrified royals who were still there.

"Stop now Adam!" Renee marched herself up to the group and said in her voice "why don't you let the princess go before the angels come and kill you?"

"I'm sorry princess, but I can't do that." Sailor Solar System quietly snuck herself into the pile of guards until she was directly behind the prince while the Jupiter princess said, "Why do you want to kill the princess anyway? She's just a child such as you and me."

"You would rather side with the weaker family than the stronger and more suited for the role for the silver imperium crystal?" Solar System sensed an question hidden under the statement of the sun prince and a hidden answer from Renee as she said "I would rather stick with my friends than for the jerks who try to hurt them." Adam seemed to get mad at this statement and he snapped his fingers. An army man jumped from the pile, sword out and charged for her. Austin appeared from the crowd of people watching and landed in front of the Jupiter princess and held out his sword as the man's collided with the gold one. The Orion guard shoved him aside with the force of the sword and pointed it upwards as Renee said "Austin! What are you doing?"

"I don't let my princess's friends get hurt." He stated simply. Adam laughed to himself. Sailor Solar System lunged. She grabbed Adam's arms and pulled them backward as he screamed out in shock. The army surrounding their leader started to charge but wiht an unkown speed, austin took care of them in one felse swoop. The gold Senshi flexed her muscles, tightening the grip as she kneed the sun prince in the small of his back. He let out a hiss of air while she turned herself and flung him to the ground. There was a soft cracking sound as she did this, indicating a possible dislocation of the shoulder or another part of his arms.

"Austin, where's Milky Way?" the gold Senshi asked as she let him go, the sun prince moaning. Renee seemed to gasp as the Orion guard said, "I don't know. I haven't seen her yet."

"Look out angel!" Emilia shouted from her captured stance. Sailor Solar System turned around as a long yellow sword was plunged into her locket with a crunch. Adam smiled a wicked smile at himself, as he pulled out his sword in one swift movement. The crack on the gold locket glowed while blood seeped around the edges and into the light colored bow on her chest. The Senshi fell to her knees, her eyes going slack and Austin shouted "Sailor Solar System!" he caught her as she fell backwards, his sword left behind at Renee's feet. She seemed to look at it, thinking while Adam put his away.

"Sister, go a head and take his head off!" said the sun prince. The crowd murmured questions like "who is he talking to?" and "where is the sun princess?" while Renee grabbed the sword by the hilt. A gold glow started to emit from the locket quietly until Austin gasped and the light surrounded the group. The light turned to yellow as it surrounded the Jupiter princess. Her hair changed to long and blond while her face changed slightly and her eyes turned blue. Cassandra stood in Renee's place, holding the sword out while the light faded. Noelle was now in Austin's arms, naked with gold opaque ribbons surrounding her naughty bits and stomach like a strapless swimsuit. The crowd gasped aloud while Adam smirked and said "Now you know who the spy was. Cassandra, take off their heads now so we can leave."

"This can't be." Said Emilia, completely surprised as everyone else. "Renee was the sun princess?" Cassandra put a placid look on her face as she nodded and raised the sword up. Austin didn't get up, but rather bent over Noelle's unconscious form to shield her. She stood directly above them , her face unemotional while the sun prince smiled. Finally, his and King Johnathan's plan was comming together. The sun princess turned her body slightly and threw the sword. The metal weapon went flying towards her brother, but missed and hit the tall muscled army man behind him. The random sun man shouted out and fell backwards as blood poured from the entry point in his forehead. Adam didn't say anything but put on a neutral face as he said, "so you choose their side Cassandra?"

"Yes brother. I choose my friends who is right over my family who is wrong."

"What do you mean we are the ones who are wrong?" the sun prince demanded. "We are more powerful than those moon royals. We should rule this soloar stystem."

"No, we do not. This war is stupid. I don't even remember who started in the first place and what was the original purpase. We meay be stronger than the people on the moon, but that doesn't mean we are fit fot rule everyone. Queen Nana and her ancestors and the next generations to come are wise and know what is best for everyone." The spectators for Cassandra's speech were awe struck. They could no believe that a member of the sun people was actually siding with them over her own people. The ballroom remained in silence for what seemed like an eternity.

"I see." Said the sun prince after the long pause. A mixture of anger and sdaddness dripped from his voice as he talked, causing his sister to wince slightly on the inside. on the outside she was cool and stiff, watching him carefully.

"Everyone, lets go." Adam was picked up by a third ghost man and was carried out of the ballroom through the broken skylight. Emilia cried out as she was carried up, tears streaming down her face and the moon guards ran up to the hole in the invasion. They started to attack the military men to save the princess, but by the time all of the sun military men were on the floor, the sun prince and the moon princess was long gone. Cassandra fell to her knees on the floor, tears silently falling down her face without her acknowledging them as Austin continued to cradle Noelle in his arms. Blood started to show through the gold ribbons while her breathing was shallow and stiff.

"I'm-" started the sun princess, but stopped short as the group of moon guards surrounded her, pointing spears and swords directly at her. Cassandra closed her eyes and dipped her head down whle there was another gasp from the crowd.

"at ease boys. Let me through please."said the moon queen as she exited the mass of spectators. The elegant queen Nana walked up to the three people her face kind and stern at the same time.

"Austin, is that the princess Noelle?" she asked. The Orion guard nodded and she waved over a few moon slaves.

"Then we must have her taken to the medical facility now or she will most certainly leave us." The slaves took the naked-yet-decent princess away from Austin and started to carry her away from the crowd as the moon queen turned to the sun princess.

"Your name is Cassandra correct?"

"Yes ma'am." Said the sun princess with a nod. Queen Nana smiled at her and said "I must thank you for siding with us. Now, why don't we go to my chambers and discuss what we should do next about your predicament." Cassandra nodded and stood up as a voice came over the crowd.

"I wish to have a part in the discussion as well mother." The crowd parted in shock as Princess Emilia walked from behind the orchestra and marched herself up the royals. The queen looked shock for a brief moment then turned back to neutral and said "as you wish daughter. I would like to know how you escaped the sun prince Adam."
