:::Chapter 5:::
Walking along the park's path, Seiya smiled as he and Usagi stepped onto the boat dock. Watching some ducks landing gracefully across the pond, he noticed Usagi sit down on the edge of the dock watching the ducks swimming in a formation, staying close to one another.
"It's so peaceful here." Usagi said, smiling as she watched Seiya sit next to her.
Reaching into his pocket, Seiya nervously brushed his hand against the brooch. 'You can do this.' He thought, trying to reassure himself he was doing the right thing. "Odango, I need to-"
"Seiya-chan, what are you doing here?" Minako excitedly asked, watching him turn and look at her.
"Minako-chan." Seiya said, watching Minako excitedly walk onto the dock.
"Is Yaten-chan here?" Minako curiously asked, noticing the blonde turn and look up at her.
"Do you see him here?" Usagi snapped, watching the blonde's smile slightly falter.
"No, I just thought-" Minako said but was interrupted by Seiya.
"It's just us." Seiya said watching Minako smile and nod her head.
"I'm going to the arcade to meet Mako-chan, did you want to join us?" Minako asked, noticing the blonde beside Seiya quickly stand and walk past her leaving the dock.
"I should be going home, Okaa-san will be starting dinner soon." Usagi said as she abruptly stood from where she was sitting. Walking past the blonde, she felt their arms slightly brushing as she walked past her.
'Awaken Sailor Venus, awaken and protect the Princess…' A soft voice stated in her mind as an image of a blonde with a long flowing white gown flashed in her mind. 'You must protect her…'
"Wait please." Minako said, abruptly turning and looking at the blonde who passed her.
"What is it?" Usagi asked, turning and looking at Minako.
"Did you not see that?" Minako asked, watching the blonde look at her in confusion.
"See what?" Usagi asked in confusion.
"Never mind." Minako said, blushing slightly as she nervously laughed.
"I'll see you tomorrow Seiya-chan." Usagi said, abruptly turning and walking from the dock.
"Dammit Minako-chan.' Seiya thought with annoyance as he turned his gaze towards the pond once more. "Perhaps another time Minako-chan." He said turning his gaze back to her. Noticing she was intently watching Usagi walking away, he raised his brow. "Is everything alright Minako-chan?" He asked watching her snap from her thoughts.
"Yes, sorry." Minako said nervously laughing. "I should be going." She said, as she swiftly left the boat dock.
Shaking his head in annoyance, Seiya abruptly turned when hearing the sounds of screams suddenly echo nearby. 'Another attack.' He thought with annoyance, swiftly standing and running the direction of the screams.
"Penetrating the darkness of night, streaking through the atmosphere. Resounding truth, I am a shooting star. I am Sailor Star Fighter! Stage On!
Chuckling as the Sailor Senshi began to fight his youma, Jasper smirked as he watched his youma beginning to drain the couple it had captured. 'Let's see if I can get this Sailor Senshi to talk.' He thought wickedly smiling. "Perhaps Morganite will be able to obtain the information we need." He thought, knowing Morganite was supposed to go after their target to see what information she could learn from the girl as he distracted the Sailor Senshi.
"Star Serious Laser!"
"Neko!" The youma angrily screeched, as she was struck by the attack. Angrily standing, she turned her vengeful yellow eyes towards the Sailor Senshi, her white fur raised as she angrily lunged at the Sailor Senshi. "You will die!" She angrily hissed her claws extended.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
"No." Jasper angrily stated, seeing another Sailor Senshi step forward attacking his youma. "Dammit, this wasn't part of the plan." He sneered, clenching his fists in anger. 'I will try another time.' He thought knowing they could strike at any time. Watching the two Sailor Senshi working together, he swiftly vanished to find Morganite.
Watching the youma shriek out one final time, Sailor Star Fighter watched in relief as the youma vanished a small white cat swiftly scurrying away as dark energy was expelled from the feline.
"Sailor Venus!" Artemis happily shouted, running from the bushes he had been hiding in while watching the fight.
"Artemis-chan!" Sailor Venus tearfully shouted, tightly hugging Artemis as tears streaked her cheeks. "What happened, the last thing I remember was being at the shrine."
"Sailor Venus, you've been without your memories for almost a year." Artemis said tears shining in his eyes as he looked at her shocked expression. "You are the third one to recover your memories."
"Who else remembers?" Sailor Venus asked, then tearfully looked over at Sailor Star Fighter. "Eternal Sailor Moon, does she-" She asked, gasping when watching Sailor Star Fighter sadly shake her head.
"No, she's been attacked by the enemy once already." Sailor Star Fighter said softly sighing. "She still has not shown any signs of awakening."
"We owe the Sailor Starlight's a great debt." Artemis said, looking over at Sailor Star Fighter. "If they had not arrived when they did, I don't know what would have happened or what state the city would currently be in."
"I need to talk to Usagi-chan." Sailor Venus tearfully stated. "We need to-"
"You four are no longer friends with her Sailor Venus." Sailor Star Fighter Fighter calmly spoke. "When we arrived, Odango was isolated away from you three. You even warned Yaten-chan not to approach her." She said watching Sailor Venus tearfully drop to her knees.
"Why? Why would we not be friends with her?" Sailor Venus tearfully asked, tears streaking her cheeks. "She is the one who brought us together in the beginning."
"She's different, Sailor Venus." Artemis gently stated. "We should go to the shrine, the others are meeting right now with Luna-chan."
"Let's go." Sailor Venus quietly said, as she glanced at Sailor Star Fighter. "Are you going?"
"Might as well, I don't have anywhere else to be." Sailor Star Fighter said, walking past Sailor Venus. "I'm sure the others will be relieved that you're finally you again."
'Just a little closer.' Morganite thought as she watched the girl approaching her.
"Morganite-san." Jasper stated smirking at her startled gasp as he appeared next to her.
"What are you doing here?" Morganite angrily demanded. "You're supposed to be keeping the Starlight busy." She angrily hissed.
"Another Sailor Senshi has arrived." Jasper stated, clenching his fists in anger. "She showed up to assist the one I was going to take."
"How many is that now?" Morganite asked, frowning in annoyance when the blonde walked past them.
"Three Sailor Senshi of the Earth, and the three Kinmoku Sailor Guardians." Jasper stated clenching his fists. "We now have six of those damn pests interfering."
"What do you want to do now?" Morganite worriedly asked.
"Continue to follow her, I will follow the other one." Jasper said swiftly vanishing.
"Where is she?" Makoto mumbled, as she leaned against the outer wall of the arcade waiting for Minako to meet her. 'I wonder if she ran into Yaten-chan.' She thought with amusement, knowing her friend was easily distracted by the former idol.
"Watch out!" A feminine voice demanded.
Quickly taking a step back, Makoto watched a blonde swiftly run past her soon followed by two others chasing after her. Feeling a sharp pain in her head, she tightly closed her eyes as an image of a blonde wearing a flowing white gown flashed in her mind.
'Awaken Sailor Jupiter…Awaken and protect your Princess…' A voice commanded. 'Protect her…'
"Usagi-chan." Makoto gasped, as her forgotten memories flooded her mind. Swiftly running down the sidewalk to help her friend, she glanced around wondering where her friend had gone. "Where are you Usagi-chan?" She worriedly asked aloud. Hearing the distant sound of something metallic clattering on the ground, she swiftly began to run the direction to the source of the noise.
Swiftly turning into an alley, Usagi suddenly stopped noticing a tall fence dividing out the alley. 'Dammit.' She thought with panic swiftly turning to exit the alley. "Damn." She mumbled watching Tomiko and his friend block her path.
"Where are you going Tsukino-kun?" Tomiko sneered as he and his friend walked into the alley. "You're not very tough without your bat, are you?" He jeered.
"I don't want any trouble Tomiko-kun." Usagi said, taking a nervous step back as they walked towards her.
"You should have thought of that, before you broke my nose you bitch." Tomiko angrily sneered. "I heard you were suspended for two games, tell me how that is fair punishment."
"It's not." Usagi softly stated, gasping when Tomiko suddenly jerked her forwards by the collar of her shirt. Feeling his breath on her face, she felt tears shine in her eyes as her stomach nervously twisted. "I'm sorry." She softly stated, then watching his scowl before he angrily spoke.
"I'm going to break your nose, then when I'm done, I'm going to make sure you can't play the rest of the season." Tomiko spat bringing his fist far back, angrily bringing his fist forward he chuckled as he struck her in the face.
Smiling at her cry of pain as he punched her, Tomiko watched her roughly collapse to the ground near some trash cans. Watching her knock over one of the trash cans from the force of her fall, he watched her shakily sit up, then raise her hand covering her nose as blood dripped from her chin.
"Tomiko-chan, we should go." The other teen stated nervously looking around.
"No Ichi-chan, I'm not finished with her yet." Tomiko sneered, angrily walking towards the blonde.
Gasping as Tomiko suddenly wrenched her up by her arm, Usagi groaned out in pain as he suddenly brought his fist forward punching her in the abdomen. Dropping limply to the ground to her knees, she hunched over clutching her throbbing stomach. "Stop...please." She rasped, tears streaking her cheeks.
"Tomiko-chan, that's enough!" Ichi sternly stated. "She isn't fighting you back, this isn't a fair fight."
"If you don't want to watch, then leave!" Tomiko sneered, as he raised his foot to kick her.
"Leave her alone!" Makoto angrily shouted, lunging at the teen knocking them both to the ground. Angrily punching him, she heard his howl of pain as she struck his broken nose.
Feeling him swiftly clamber to get away from her, Makoto smirked as she raised off him enough allowing him to escape her strong hold on him. Smirking as she watched him swiftly stand and scurry away from her, she noticed his nose was bleeding as he covered his nose with his hand before running out of the alley.
"My nose! Dammit, I think it's broken again!" Tomiko shouted out in pain. "Let's get out of here!" He said motioning Ichi to follow him as they quickly left the alley.
"The baka's." Makoto mumbled then swiftly turned her attention on her friend, seeing she was shakily standing. "Are you alright?" She gasped when seeing her friend's shirt was covered in blood, her nose bleeding heavily. "Here, let me help you." She said quickly going to her friend's side.
"I'm fine." Usagi mumbled, gently touching her throbbing nose. "I don't think it's broken." She sighed with relief, not feeling any abnormalities in her nose. Looking over at the brunette, she watched her quickly walking over to her. "You're friends with Seiya-chan and the others." She said, seeing the brunette look at her with concern. "I'm Tsukino Usagi, thank you for your help. I thought cutting through the alley was a good idea, I guess I was wrong." She said, forcing a smile.
'Something isn't right.' Makoto worriedly thought, noticing the distance Usagi was putting between them. "Are you going to be alright, do I need to call someone?"
"I'll be fine." Usagi said, taking a few nervous steps away from the tall brunette. "Thanks again for your help."
"Would it be alright if I walked with you, in case they come back?" Makoto asked, not wanting to leave her friend alone.
"You don't have to." Usagi said, shaking her head. "I'll be fine really." She said quickly walking away. "Thanks again for your help!" She called out, as she swiftly ran from the alley.
Watching her friend quickly running away, Makoto softly sighed as tears filled her eyes. "She didn't know who I was." She sadly stated. 'I need to find Luna-chan or Artemis-chan and find out what's happening.' She worriedly thought.
"Why didn't you tell us this sooner?" Yaten angrily demanded. "We could have stepped in and prevented all this from happening between Seiya-chan and Usagi-chan."
"I'm sorry, but we cannot allow their relationship to continue." Taiki said while sternly shaking his head, watching Luna tearfully look up at them.
"This is going to be best for both of them." Yaten sternly stated while looking down at Luna.
"We already know Usagi-chan will continue her relationship with Mamoru-san just as she did before." Taiki sneered, ignoring Luna's surprised look. "She's already broke Seiya's heart once, she'll do it again, I know it."
"This is different." Luna pleaded looking at the two. "I beg you not to interfere. Since Usagi-chan has lost her memories, she is allowing her true feelings for Seiya to guide her choices. I have seen the way she looks at him, just as you have seen the way he looks at her. They love each other, and I swore to Queen Serenity-sama I would not interfere."
"What if Mamoru-san wants to continue the relationship? What will happen then?" Taiki challenged, as he looked down at the small feline.
"He does not have his memories, as long as there is no threat to trigger his memories, he will continue on this path and find someone else." Luna said, then noticed Rei tearfully looking at her.
"Crystal Tokyo?" Rei softly asked, watching Luna sadly shake her head.
"The future we know is gone, as long as the Prince and Princess are on separate paths. A new future will be formed in time once Usagi-chan has chosen who she wants to be with." Luna said watching tears streak the three Inner Senshi's cheeks. "Whatever future Usagi-chan chooses for herself, it is our duty to support her." She sternly stated, watching the three sadly nod their heads.
"I still don't trust her to not break his heart, she-" Taiki sternly stated, then grew quiet when the door abruptly opened.
"Minna!" Minako happily shouted, tears shining in her eyes as she ran into the room.
"Minako-chan, you remember." Rei happily stated as she and Minako happily embraced, followed by Ami happily embracing her.
"We ran into some trouble." Seiya said, as he walked into the room. "Sailor Venus was kind enough to assist."
"Artemis-chan explained everything on the way here." Minako said as tears streaked her cheeks. "Is there anything we can do to get Eternal Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter back to us sooner?" She asked looking at Luna.
"I can try the mind meld." Luna said smiling up at the blonde. "Until Usagi-chan regains her memories, you will act as leader in her stead." She said watching Minako look at her in surprise.
"I can't, I wouldn't feel right-" Minako said, but was abruptly interrupted.
"You have no choice, we have to have a leader Minako-chan." Luna sternly stated, watching the blonde reluctantly nod her head.
"What did we miss?" Seiya asked, looking at the group.
"We will discuss it when we get home, lets go." Taiki said as he and Yaten walked towards the exit. "We will see you at school on Monday, if not sooner." Opening the door, he was taken aback to see Makoto standing on the other side.
"Mako-chan." Minako said watching their friend turn her gaze to Luna. "What's happening? Why doesn't Usagi-chan remember me?" She worriedly asked.
"You have your memories." Luna sighed in relief, smiling as she watched Minako go and happily embrace Makoto, followed by Rei, then Ami. 'Now we just need Usagi-chan.' She thought, knowing she would attempt the mind meld later that night while their Princess slept.
Nervously standing outside the front door of her home, Usagi shakily sighed as she looked down at her bloodstained shirt. 'At least the bleeding has finally stopped.' She thought with relief. Reaching for the doorknob, she gasped watching the door suddenly open and watched Shingo suddenly stop and stare at her with shock. "Okaa-san! Otou-san!"
"Shingo-baka!" Usagi angrily stated, groaning out in frustration when she heard her mothers alarmed gasp.
"Usagi-san! What happened to you?" Ikuko demanded quickly going to her daughter. "Get inside let's take a look at you." She worriedly stated ushering her daughter into the house.
"Who did this to you?" Kenji demanded shocked at his daughter's state.
"Did Seiya-san do this to you?" Ikuko worriedly asked watching her daughter shake her head at the question.
"No, of course not." Usagi said looking up at her mother. Wincing in pain when her mother touched her nose, she watched her mother smile with relief.
"Your nose isn't broken, you're lucky. It seems to be bruised, it's going to be sore for a few days." Ikuko said worriedly glancing at her husband.
"Usagi-san, who did this to you?" Kenji sternly asked once more, growing impatient when his daughter averted her gaze. "Tsukino Usagi, I expect an answer right now young lady." He sternly stated.
"Tomiko-kun, the one I had the incident with on the baseball field. He kept his word, he got me back for breaking his nose." Usagi said keeping her gaze down.
"You got into a fight?" Shingo asked in shock.
"No, I was trying to run from them, and I didn't run fast enough." Usagi mumbled, as she blushed with embarrassment.
"I'm calling the police." Kenji sternly stated walking to the phone. "They have no right laying their hands on you like that."
"No." Usagi quickly stated. "Please don't, you'll only make things worse." She pleaded. "It's over Otou-san, he got his payback with me."
"What you did to him was an accident, he had no right doing this to you Usagi-san." Kenji said watching tears streak his daughters cheeks.
"I broke his nose on purpose." Usagi abruptly admitted as she kept her gaze down with shame. Hearing her mother's shocked gasp, she tearfully looked up at her parents. "He was always taunting me on the field, and making crude comments, I had enough." She said stray tears streaking her cheeks. "I couldn't handle one more comment from him, so when I went to bat I taunted him into throwing a fast pitch and I hit the ball just right to where I could hit him and teach him a lesson."
"Usagi-san." Ikuko stated in disappointment.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me. I had enough of his cruel words, I couldn't take it anymore." Usagi said trying to defend her reasoning.
"You're not playing baseball anymore." Kenji sternly stated seeing his daughter abruptly look at him.
"What?" Usagi demanded quickly standing. "You can't do that! This is my final year to play, my coach says I have a good chance of earning a scholarship!"
"You should have thought of that, before you made such a cruel and poor decision." Kenji sternly said, looking at his daughter with disappointment. "I'm disappointed in you Usagi-san, this isn't like you. You've never been violent before in the past, purposely trying to harm someone." He said seeing his daughter clench her fists at her sides. "You're losing your car indefinitely, until-
"That's not fair!" Usagi shouted tears streaking her cheeks. "I worked hard keeping my grades up and-"
"We're not discussing this." Kenji sternly stated. "Go clean yourself up, then come back down for dinner. We will finish discussing your punishment."
"This isn't fair!" Usagi shouted as she angrily walked out of the dining room. "I hate you! This isn't fair Otou-san!" She shouted running out of the room as she bitterly cried.
Sitting on her balcony, Usagi wiped the tears that streaked her cheeks. "This isn't fair." She mumbled looking up at the stars that lit the night's sky. Feeling Luna brush up against her, she smiled as she lifted the feline into her arms. "I wish they could understand why I did that to Tomiko-kun." She said resting her chin against Luna as she held her. Tiredly yawning, she softly sighed as she lowered Luna from her arms. "I'm exhausted, I'm going to bed Luna-chan, are you staying inside tonight?" She asked watching the small cat swiftly go into the house.
Leaping onto the bed, Luna watched Usagi step into her bedroom shutting the balcony door. Moving onto the windowsill as Usagi tiredly collapsed onto the bed, she watched her Princess pull the blankets over her and reach for the lamp turning the light off. 'As soon as she's asleep, I will try to awaken her.' She thought with hope. Lying on the foot of the bed, she turned her gaze out the window and swiftly raised sensing movement outside. Quickly jumping into the window, she looked out the window and gasped seeing the enemy swiftly vanish from the tree branch she was sitting in. 'No!' She thought with panic. 'The enemy knows where Usagi-chan is now.' She worriedly thought, swiftly jumping on her charge startling her.
"Luna-chan!" Usagi snapped abruptly raising and watching Luna quickly jump back into the windowsill and desperately scratch at the window. "Will you make up your mind." She grumbled, sighing in frustration as she opened the window. Watching Luna swiftly leap out of the window, she shook her head as she laid down once more. "Crazy cat, what has gotten into her?" She mumbled trying to relax her mind to get some rest.
"This is your final chance!" Prince Heliodor angrily stated, standing and watching Morganite bow as she nervously looked up. Turning his gaze on Jasper, he watched him quickly bow as he stepped forward. "You two have nothing to show for me, no proof, no new information! I want the ginzuishou, I want it now!"
"We will be capturing the Sailor Senshi and the girl-" Jasper stated then grew silent watching his Prince sternly shake his head.
"You will bring me this girl, if she possesses the ginzuishou I will obtain it. If she doesn't, then I will kill her myself." He sneered. "Then we will bring the Kinmoku Sailor Guardian here to provide us the information we need." Prince Heliodor angrily stated glaring at the two Generals. "We are not wasting anymore energy on creating youma and trying to draw out this Sailor Guardian."
"When do you want us to obtain the girl?" Morganite nervously spoke.
"Now." Prince Heliodor sternly stated, as he angrily stood glaring down at them. "You will bring her to me now." He said, then smirked watching his final general appear in the throne room. "Kyanite-san. Have you obtained what you needed." He asked, watching the general smirk before nodding his head at his question.
"Yes." Kyanite stated, focusing on his energy and felt his form changing into the girl he saw sitting on the balcony. "This is the one you suspect obtains the ginzuishou?" He asked, turning and looking at Jasper and Morganite.
"Yes." Morganite stated, seeing the girl standing before them. "We will-"
"I will lure in the Sailor Senshi with this form." Kyanite stated, his masculine voice beginning to change to a more feminine tone. "Bring her here, then I will go after the Sailor Senshi."
"No." Prince Heliodor sternly stated, watching Kyanite change back to his true form. "We will only bring the Kinmoku Sailor Guardian here, if we need her."
"Yes Prince Heliodor." Kyanite stated, bowing to his Prince.
"Go." Prince Heliodor sternly stated. "Go, and do not fail me again!" He angrily commanded.
(Dream)
"You must decide your future...who will you be… Neo-Queen Serenity-sama of Crystal Tokyo or Guardian and Defender of the Galaxy Eternal Sailor Moon." A strong commanding voice boomed. "Decide, or your fate will be decided for you…"
"Who are you? I don't understand!" Usagi yelled through the thick fog that surrounded her. Making out the shadows of people behind the thick fog, she tried to run through the fog to reach them. The farther she ran into the fog, the further they became from her. "Tell me what I should do!" She yelled, her echo only answering her. "I don't know what to do! How do I know which one to choose?" She bitterly asked, dropping to her knees. "I'm not either of those people, how do I know I'm not choosing the wrong one."
"What does your heart desire?" The voice boomed. "Choose wisely, one path will lead you to a life of peace and prosperity, the other path will lead you to a life of endless fighting and despair."
"Tell me which path!" Usagi begged tears streaking her cheeks. "I can't do this...I can't…" She said collapsing onto the ground her body quaking with soft sobs. Feeling the ground beginning to quake beneath her, she screamed as the ground suddenly opened beneath her dropping her into endless darkness. "No!" She screamed.
"You must make a choice!" The voice angrily echoed around her.
(End of Dream)
Gasping as she startled herself awake from her nightmare, Usagi shakily sighed as she rested her face against her hands. Shakily sighing, she looked up when hearing her door open quickly forcing a smile when seeing her mother. "Okaa-san." She said watching her mother walk into her bedroom concerned.
"Are you alright Usagi-san? You were talking in your sleep." Ikuko worriedly stated. Sitting beside her daughter, she softly sighed as she gently took her daughter's hand into hers. "I know you're still angry with us about the car and you leaving the baseball team." She said trying to carefully express her words. "We are worried about you Usagi-san, you've never shown that type of aggression towards others. Is everything alright? You know you can talk to me about anything sweetie."
"I'm fine Okaa-san." Usagi tearfully stated. "He- he was always making these lewd comments about me, and I was just fed up with him." She said stray tears streaking her cheeks. "I don't know why I lashed out, but I did, I wanted to prove to him that I could stand up for myself." She said then tearfully laughed. "I didn't do a very good job standing up to him the second time." She said motioning to her bruised nose.
"You're a young lady Usagi-san, you should not be fighting and bothering yourself with such trivial behavior." Ikuko said smiling at her daughter. "Revenge can darken your heart Usagi-san. You have such a sweet and pure soul. I don't want to see you darken your heart for such insignificant things. If you come across this boy again, turn the other cheek, ignore him, let him know you're not going to be pulled in by his nonsense."
"I'm sorry Okaa-san, I'm sorry for being a disappointment to you and Otou-san." Usagi softly stated as tears streaked her cheeks. "I've been trying my best, to show you that I can be responsible and-"
"Usagi-san, we are so proud of who you are and what you've accomplished these past two years." Ikuko said tears shining in her eyes. "I love you sweetie, I don't want you to change who you are." She said as she embraced her daughter. "Get some rest, we will discuss this some more in the morning." She said kissing her daughter's forehead.
"How sweet." Jasper jeered, watching the two abruptly look up at him as he stepped from the shadows revealing himself. Stepping forwards, he smirked watching the woman protectively step in front of the girl blocking his path. "Step aside." He sneered.
"Who are you?" Ikuko demanded, while stepping in front of her daughter. "What do you-" She demanded not ready for the sudden attack.
Watching her mother suddenly lurch, Usagi could hear her mother's pained gasp watching in horror as her mother limply collapsed back onto the bed. "Okaa-san!" She heart brokenly screamed seeing a dagger embedded deep in her mother's chest. "No!" She screamed, as tears streaked her cheeks. "Why?" She heartbrokenly demanded looking up at the man in shock.
Chuckling at her words, Jasper smirked when watching the door abruptly open a man quickly entering the room.
"Ikuko-san!" Kenji gasped, seeing his wife lying on the bed blood soaking her night shirt. Seeing his daughter leaning over her mother heartbrokenly crying, he looked over at the man in the room responsible for his wife's lifeless state. "Usagi-san get out of here now!" He shouted, watching his daughter quickly get out of the bed and rush towards the door. "You and Shingo-san get out of here now!" He sternly said, watching his daughter tearfully look at him as she ran past him.
"Otou-san." Usagi begged as tears streaked her cheeks.
"Go now!" Kenji sternly instructed. "I love you Usagi-san." He said watching tears streak his daughter cheeks as she quickly ran from the bedroom.
Laughing as he watched the girl quickly escape from the room, Jasper smirked as he looked at the man. "You are no threat to me." He jeered, unsheathing his sword. "The girl will be mine."
"You will not lay a hand on my daughter!" Kenji angrily shouted swiftly running towards the man.
"Run Shingo-san!" Usagi urged, as she grabbed her brother by the sleeve of his shirt and pulled.
"What's going on?" Shingo worriedly demanded. Gasping as his sister roughly grabbed him pulling him with her, they both froze with fear hearing their father's pained yells before a deafening silence filled the house.
"We have to go!" Usagi pleaded, grabbing onto her brother's arm desperately pulling him the direction of the stairs.
"What's happening Onee-san!" Shingo demanded tears shining in his eyes.
"I don't know!" Usagi stated as tears streaked her cheeks.
"We can't leave Okaa-san and Otou-san!" Shingo sternly stated, abruptly stopping and wrenching his arm free. "We have to go back for them."
"They're gone! We can't help them!" Usagi cried out as a sob escaped her lips. "Please, we have to go-" She said then gasped watching the man appear at the base of the stairs. Screaming, she quickly turned ushering her brother back upstairs. "Run Shingo-san!" She demanded, seeing he was frozen with fear.
Wickedly chuckling, Jasper smirked as he walked up the stairs, enjoying his game of chase with the girl. "My Prince is awaiting your presence, now be a good girl and come with me." He demanded holding his hand out.
"Prince?" Shingo scoffed. "What is he talking about Usagi-san?"
"I- I don't know." Usagi said, shaking her head as they slowly backed their way up the stairs once more. "Who are you?" She demanded.
"My name is Jasper, I am a general to Prince Heliodor-sama." He smirked as he suddenly teleported in front of the girl. Grabbing her by the throat, he could see the fear in her eyes before he roughly shoved her down the stairs.
"Usagi-san!" Shingo yelled, watching his sister roughly fall down the staircase before limply collapsing onto her side at the base of the stairs. "You baka!" He angrily yelled glaring at the man. Taking a step back in fear when he watched the man unsheathe the sword, he felt tears shine in his eyes seeing blood still on the sword. 'Otou-san.' He thought remembering his father's pained shouts. "Please don't." He pleaded watching the man wickedly smile up at him.
"Are you sure we shouldn't call the others?" Sailor Mars worriedly asked, as she ran down the sidewalk following Luna to the Tsukino residence.
"We don't have time, I don't want to take the chance of them returning." Luna breathlessly stated. "We will contact the others as soon as-" Stopping abruptly as an intense light filled the sky, Luna could feel tears shining in her eyes, knowing it was their Princess. "We're too late, they are already there!" She cried out as she and Sailor Mars swiftly ran the direction.
"I'm calling for help!" Sailor Mars said, as she quickly removed her communicator pressing the distress button. "I need help! Usagi-chan is in danger!" She quickly stated before quickly running forward in pursuit of Luna.
"I'm going ahead!" Luna stated as she swiftly sprinted forwards. 'Please be alright Usagi-chan.' She desperately thought.
Abruptly waking to the sounds of her brothers shouts, Usagi painfully raised from the floor, wincing at how tender her wrist was. Feeling her heart race and stomach twist as she watched Shingo limply collapse back onto the stairs, she shook her head as tears coursed down her cheeks. "No!" She heart brokenly screamed, as she bitterly began to weep.
Smiling at her heartbroken scream, Jasper turned watching the girl bitterly begin to weep into her hands. "They did not suffer." He smirked, as he placed his sword back into its sheath. "I made sure their deaths were quick." He said as he wickedly chuckled.
"What do you want?" Usagi heart brokenly asked between her sobs. "Why are you doing this!" She screamed as tears streaked her cheeks.
"I know that you possess the ginzuishou." Jasper smirked, as he stopped at the final step looking down at her. "Surrender the ginzuishou and I will allow you to live." He said raising his hand as another crystalline dagger appeared in his hand. "Refuse, and you will receive the same fate as your family."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Usagi bitterly stated as she glared up at him. "I don't have what you're asking of me." She tearfully stated her voice wavering, as she dropped her head down in defeat tears streaking her cheeks. "Just kill me already, you've taken my entire family from me."
Chuckling Jasper smirked as he brought his booted foot down kicking her across the face. Chuckling at her pained scream, he smiled as he watched her remain on the floor as she bitterly began to cry once more. "Give me the ginzuishou!" He angrily yelled.
"I don't have it." Usagi softly stated, screaming as she felt him kick her in the ribs. Ignoring the searing pain in her side, she tightly closed her eyes accepting her fate. 'Okaa-san, Otou-san, Onii-san.' She desperately thought. 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry this happened to you. This is all my fault, you're gone because of me.'
"Fight him…" A voice echoed in her mind. "Awaken Eternal Sailor Moon, exact out justice for the loved ones who were taken from you…"
Covering her ears from the loud commanding voice in her mind, Usagi tightly closed her eyes as she shook her head. "I can't…" She whimpered as tears continued to streak her cheeks. "Please stop…"
Noticing the conflict the girl was having with herself, Jasper smirked as he roughly grabbed her by the back of the hair, roughly jerking her head back exposing her neck. Pressing his dagger against her neck, he pressed his lips close to her ear as he sternly spoke. "You are wasting my time girl, do you, or do you not have the ginzuishou?" He demanded.
"I don't have it!" Usagi heart wrenchingly screamed. "Just kill me already!"
"With pleasure." Jasper stated, as he pressed the dagger deeper against her neck.
"Stop him! You must fight back!" The voice commanded. "Don't give up! You are Eternal Sailor Moon, the defender of love and justice!"
'I'm nobody.' Usagi bitterly thought, tightly closing her eyes as she felt the man press the dagger deeper against her throat. Abruptly opening her eyes when he lowered the dagger from her neck, she screamed out in pain and shock when feeling him suddenly bring the dagger down striking below her right shoulder. Collapsing onto the ground, she painfully screamed as he pressed his knee into the center of her back as he pressed down on the hilt of the dagger. "Stop!" She begged as tears streaked her cheeks. "I don't know what the ginzuishou is, I don't have it, please just stop!"
"I know you're lying!" Jasper angrily sneered, while pressing his knee deeper into her back. Grabbing the hilt of the dagger, he smiled at her screams as he roughly removed the dagger and pointed the blood covered blade closer to her to her face. "Perhaps I should-" He sneered abruptly growing silent as he watched her body faintly glowing with energy before violently expelling out as she heart wrenchingly screamed as tears streaked her cheeks.
'Please make this pain stop, please, I can't take this any longer.' Usagi desperately thought, as she tightly closed her eyes when feeling him press his knee further into her back. Screaming out at the fiery explosion of pain as the dagger was roughly jerked from her back shoulder, Usagi watched in fear as he pointed the dagger near her face, blood dripping from the blade. Tightly closing her eyes, she felt a sudden warm sensation deep within her beginning to encompass her. 'I feel safe in this warmth.' She thought with a brief moment of relief.
"Awaken Eternal Sailor Moon, awaken and serve this Galaxy." The voice commanded.
Feeling a myriad of memories suddenly filling her mind, Usagi tightly closed her eyes as she saw her friends, her guardians, her past life, past fights filling her mind. 'What have I done!' She desperately thought as images of Endymion and Crystal Tokyo filled her mind. Seeing the future she had only known suddenly collapsed in her mind, she watched in horror as King Endymion and Chibi-Usa were ripped away, Crystal Tokyo collapsing and fading into darkness. 'This is all my fault, I did this, I destroyed my future!' She heart brokenly thought, as she heart-wrenchingly screamed, as the warmth suddenly consumed her.
Yelling out in shock as he was roughly thrown back by the pure energy, Jasper groaned as he roughly struck a wall, painfully collapsing to the floor. Shakily standing, he watched as her clothing melded into a long flowing white gown. Seeing an intense white light hover above her, he watched as a small round crystal appeared. Seeing her shakily stand from the floor, he watched as she extended her hand out the crystal gently resting in her hand. "I knew it!" He angrily shouted, extending his hand out and releasing a torrent of energy.
Gasping at the sudden attack, Princess Serenity swiftly raised the crystal as a small barrier of energy surrounded her protecting her from the attack. Turning and looking at the damage done to her home, she saw the door and part of the wall was no longer standing. 'My guardians.' She desperately thought. 'I must find them.' Lowering the barrier from around her, she swiftly began to run hoping she could escape Jasper. Screaming out as she felt dark energy encompass her, Princess Serenity weakly dropped to her knees as her royal insignia flared with power under her sudden distress. "Stop!" She begged as the dark energy crackled around her.
"You're coming with me Princess!" Jasper sneered, watching her drop to her knees and scream out in pain from his attack. Watching the crescent moon on her forehead flare with energy, he watched in awe as it suddenly released a stream of energy into the night sky for a brief moment under her distress. "No one knows I'm here!" He sneered as he began to wickedly laugh.
