The five senshi , neptune,uranus,jupiter,venus and mercury fell down on to the hard ground.
„ouch my back" whimpered venus standing up and streaching. They all stared at the old earth, the fog and dust everywhere. The rest were still absorbing the old planet,Ami took out her computer and started typing coordinates.
„Mamoru-san was in this exact spot we are standing on, seemed like he went..." she circrled and pointed at the foot prints not far from them „...that way"
„Well we're here high time we got a move on, what ever this place is..." and Haruka started walking in the direction of the foot prints followed by the rest. Ami walking with the rest gasped looking into her small computer screen
„belive it or not, this planet has the same atmosphere , ground, rocks like our home planet earth...which meens..." she franticly continued typing"...that we're walking on „earth" ? „ she questioned the answer the screen showed her. The senshi turned round to face mercury.
„You must be joking...this is the old earth, you mean to tell us that this was here for the last 1000 years and no one noticed?" asked venus
„that's what it's saying, yes" replied mercury
„so... we are weaker because of the absence of the rest, on the enemies teritory , which turns out to be the old millenium earth, in dust, filth and grime...great..." said uranus wiping her boot on a nearby rock from the mud she stepped in. She looked up and gasped looking at a woman's face sealed in the rock. The rest walked up to her also in shock.
Jupiter widened her eyes
„ my word...it's, it's Beryl..."Uranus and neptune looked at her
„who?" Michiru looked puzzled
„she was our very first enemy, the negaverse, one powerfull monster,even now her face gives me the creeps"
As Jupiter explained the whole story to Uranus and neptune, venus and mercury still looked at the rock holding the woman prisoner. They jumped a little every second she whimpered with pain, her eyes closed, her body motionless.
„This Beryl is just a trapped soul, experiencing coutless pain through this rock" explained Mercury typing away into her computer.
„she not a threat just like the rest of them" she turned off her glasses anf showed the rest the horrible sight. Long iles of rock's spread through the waste land showing them hundred of trapped souls.
„If my calculations are correct these soul's are forever trapped here ever since they sold themselves over to the negaverse, they were used by the dark side, and now that they didn't complete what ever they where sopposed to, this is their punishment...forever trapped, forever in pain.." mercury finished whiping her cheek from the dust.
„serves the swine right for betraying the earth and the prince..."said uranus through gritted teeth „let's get going, and get out of here as quickly as possible this place is worse then hell..." with that the five sailors started to walk in the direction of the foot prints, which Mamoru left a little while back.
Mamoru walked and walked, through the muck and mud every now and then noticing more trapped souls, the yells and moans pericing through his brain. All of a sudden he noticed a thunder cloud hovering around a huge castle, the same one which carried him here.,
„WHAT DO YOU MEEN YOU LOST HIM!" he suddenly heard a familiar voice. His sister was angry he could sense it. A blast hit the thunder cloud and it whimpered so loudly Mamoru had to cover his ears.
„NOW BRING HIM BACK, MASTER WILL NOT BE PLEASED! FIND HIM NOWWW!" a blast hit the cloud again, it roared and flew away from the castle. Mamoru didn't want to take any chances, he dashed between two rocks hiding in the dark waiting until the monster cloud passed. Flying past him mouning from the pain ,it soared quickly and out of sight.
Mamoru emerged from his hiding place and started to run to the castle.
„so,Futago, you're here..." he thought. His palms sweaty he could feel his heart rate increase. Speeding through the mist he reached the main enterence. Pushing the doors, keeping them as silent as possible, he creapt inside the huge fort. He was amazed to see candles lit everywhere, no dust or dirt. He inhaled the air a little deeper. This was it, this was his home before all the tragic stories begun to happen. He noticed that he stood in the main hall, on the ceiling half of the earth and half of the sun were beautifully painted into one whole picture. On one half there was an „e" and on the other „f"' probably symbolising him and his sybling, in the golden times of this forsaken place. Walking on Mamoru noticed a long hall, dimly lit with lanterns, and a ton of paintings hanging on evry inch of the walls of this suddenly saw an empty hook,probably the missing painting was the one hiding in their little cave where he met the ghost of Mariana. He started walking through it looking at the verious masterpieces. He stopped suddenly and looked at one a little longer. A woman was painted on it, her deep brown eyes beautiful, but sad, her lips delicate, her hair silky dark blackish green . He walked up to it and read the little notice under it,he seemed to know this face,the woman's face reminded him of one of the phantom sister's-Petz : „Lady Petzera-Queen of earth". Queen of earth? His mind was racing. But if she was the queen of earth in the old millenium, that would meen...
„ my mother...?" he whispered in half belief looking at the delicate features. He noticed now how he and his sister had her eyes,nose,mouth. Managing to get a grip from the shock he took one last glance at the portrait,and kept moving on. Suddenly he tripped over a small bump in the carpet and the painting with his mother moved slowly away.
„another secret room, this is getting ridiculous...i've had it with surprises for one day..."he thought and went back to see what was hiding behind the huge frame. The only things there were in there was a book self with a few dusty books, huge wooden desk and loads of papers on it scattered here and there. He picked one up. It was a letter.
Dearest love,
my heart is broken in two ever since i was sent away after your marrage to your husband , the king , to this meeting between us and the safe love for in your condition you shouldn't travel too much. With my returning we shall face the king together, fight for peace and a treaty so that we can live together and finish the tyrant kings reign once and for all. My love, his evil is becoming stronger,people don't know what is happening to him, i fear everyday ,the little one's inside of you must keep on growing healthy-i beg of you, be carefull.

Soon it will all be over and we'll finally have the joy we should have had in a long time. I love you forever
please love if something should go wrong or happen let the boy be Endymion and the girl Futago. Let those names be a little reminder of their real father
Saphire
Mamoru felt his knees bend, he colapssed into the chair standing next to him. It was all beginning to fit, piece by piece. Petzera fell in love with Saphire,their love blossomed unfortunatly the lady's father wanted her to marry royalty, and the human wiseman came along, what they didn't anticipate, that before the wedding the queen noticed changes in her. She became pregnant with the twins, and until know no one knew of the secret she had hidden so well since God knew when.
Mamoru slamed his fist on the desk. Wiseman manipulated his parents, his sister , his daughter and could be a threat to kill his beloved-this was going to end tonight...
