"Azarath Metrion Zinthos," chanted Raven.
"Friend Raven is still out there," said Starfire who bit her lower lip.
"Well, you would be too if your little sister's so-called friend tried to pull your little sister away from her," said Cyborg, "So, I don't blame Raven for still meditating."
"They don't understand Raven like we do," said Robin.
It was after Usagi's Star Seed was returned and the Starlights found their princess that another turn for the worst came. It wasn't another enemy attack, but the turn came from the Inners. Since the Outers never revealed that Raven was half-demon at the Senshi meeting long ago, the Inners were very wary about Raven. They also didn't want their precious princess to be anywhere near something that 'evil', so to speak. When the Inners tried to separate Raven and Usagi, Raven lashed out with a death glare at the Inners for even TRYING to separate her and her little sister. She glared once more before engulfing the newest princess, the Starlights, her teammates, Usagi, and herself in her special dark dome before disappearing right in front of the Inners, only to appear inside the Tsukino household. Not once did Raven feel another person coming along for the ride. When the dark dome disappeared, the Starlights were all de-transformed and looking surprised at their new surroundings, the unknown hitchhiker quickly disappearing from view and exploring. Raven, however, dumped Usagi into Yaten's arms before stomping into the backyard to mediate. "So, WHY did she dump Usagi on me," asked Yaten who was now sitting on the couch, Usagi's head on his lap.
"With Raven," said Beast Boy who scratched his head thoughtfully, "I guess she trusts you with her little sister."
"Just what IS she," asked Taiki.
"SHE is a very good teammate and friend," said Robin with narrowed eyes.
"Please do not take offense to dear Taiki's statement," said Princess Kakyū, "We are just concern about what we all just witnessed with Sailor Tin Nyanko. Can you please shed how Raven could turn into something so… dark?"
The four Titans looked at one another before turning to Yaten. Yaten, on his part, looked confused on why the Titans would turn to him before realizing that HE was the only one that knew the entire story. Gently hoisting Usagi up in his arms, he quickly went out of the living room to the second floor and FAR from the discussion that was yet to come. He could also hear a coward from one of the Titans, most likely Beast Boy, as he finally got to Usagi's room. "Safe," muttered Yaten as he placed Usagi on top of her bed.
- Back Downstairs –
"Uh, why did Yaten just leave with Usagi-san," asked Seiya.
"He's a coward," said Beast Boy,.
"Friend Beast Boy," exclaimed Starfire, "We do not call our friends the coward."
"Besides," said Cyborg who rubbed his bald head, "We DID put him on the spot. Not surprised he fled with the unconscious Usagi up to her bedroom."
"He's WHERE," asked three surprised guests.
"Oops," said Cyborg.
"Never mind that," said Raven who suddenly appeared, "I am done with my meditation. We can discuss my origin of that is what you want, but just know that once you find out, you will not like me anymore."
All seven people jumped at the sudden appearance of Raven. The Titans could tell there was a hint of fear in her tone as they sat around Raven who was now sitting in the middle of the couch. Princess Kakyū was sitting gracefully on a chair that was given to her by Seiya. Taiki and Seiya were standing behind their princess and looking at the Titans expectantly. Placing a gloved hand over Raven's shoulder, Robin asked silently if they should tell it instead of her. Raven shook her head before turning to the other Titans. She saw encouragement and smiles before she turned back to the Starlights and their princess. "I was born on a place called Azarath…," started Raven.
- With Yaten & Usagi –
"Ugh," groaned Usagi.
Yaten blinked from where he was standing and shifting through Usagi's comic book collection. Listening intently again, he heard the distinguished groan coming from the bed. Yaten looked up and saw that Usagi was trying to get up from her bed. He rushed to her side and helped her up in a sitting position. "You sure are helpless," said Yaten.
"Well, almost getting my Star Seed taken would leave me helpless," said Usagi.
"About that," said Yaten, "WHY would you do something reckless like that? Doesn't Raven have powers to block attacks like those?"
"Reflex," said Usagi, "Besides, nēchan was already worried about her teammates. With her guard down a bit, Sailor Lead Crow saw an opening."
"You scared me," confessed Yaten, "I thought I was losing… a friend."
"Nah," said Usagi with a wink, "You can't get rid of me that easily."
Yaten sighed. When Usagi's Star Seed almost got stolen, he realized that he actually had feelings for the girl. However, he couldn't really say what he wanted to say to the girl. Yaten's personality would never let him. Before they could talk more, a shout from downstairs alerted the two that they should be downstairs for the meeting. Yaten held onto Usagi's hand as she tried once more to get off of her bed. Usagi still felt weak from her Star Seed appearing like that. Smiling with cheeks faintly red, the two slowly went down the stairs, only to see the Starlights in front of Princess Kakyū and holding their transformation stars out. "This is getting old really fast," muttered Yaten as Usagi giggled worriedly.
"Well, that's the response I was imagining when nēchan decided to tell her story one of these days," whispered Usagi.
"Oye," said Yaten loudly, "We're still guests here!"
"Yaten," exclaimed Taiki, "She's a demon!"
"Only half," said Yaten nonchalantly.
"You KNEW about this," asked Seiya.
"Well, yeah," said Yaten with a deadpanned look, "I DID warn you that Usagi's older sister is scarier than the situations we had."
"But, not like this," yelled the other two.
Yaten only shrugged before guiding Usagi to sit on the empty seat that was next to the couch. Raven looked at her sister worriedly, but Usagi smiled reassuringly. She was sad to cause her older sister to worry about her. When Raven saw that Usagi was fine, she got up swiftly and bopped Usagi on the head. "Itai (Ow)," yelped Usagi, "Nēchan!"
"That's for making me think I lost you," said Raven with a glare.
"Gomen," said Usagi with her head down.
"Just… don't do it again," said Raven.
"Un," nodded Usagi., "I'll try. So, what did I miss?"
Raven sighed before pulling her little sister to her into a hug. She really thought she lost her sister back there. It was just thanks to Princess Kakyū that her sister still had her Star Seed. It was also thanks to the princess that she and her little sister weren't dead by that black hole. Nodding her head towards Princess Kakyū in thanks, Raven went back to her seat and told her sister about how Anger came out and about the Inners' trying to get Usagi away from Raven. After Usagi was caught up with what happened after she passed out, it was now time to get information on the enemy. Before anything could be said, however, Queen Nehelenia, who wasn't seen except to help patch Usagi up after a Phage attack, walked out of her guest room. "Ah, sorry to disturb you all," said Nehelenia as she saw the serious faces.
"Don't worry about it, Auntie," said Usagi, "We were just about to discuss the newest enemy."
"The evil Senshi, ne," asked Nehelenia.
"Yes," said Raven, "Do you think you can help us?"
"That depends if this is a very serious matter," said Nehelenia.
"It IS serious," yelled Seiya, "Sailor Galaxia…"
"Seiya," said Kakyū, "Let me tell the story… looks at everyone… of the Holy War from a long time ago that engulfed the galaxy."
Queen Nehelenia narrowed her eyes even more as she heard what Princess Kakyū was about to say. She remembered that Holy War because she WAS in them a long time ago with her sister, Queen Serenity. She, however, never remembered a Sailor Galaxia though. If this story was about the Holy War, the Sailor Wars… Queen Nehelenia glared into nothingness as she listened to the story with the others. She just hoped that it wasn't what she thought it was. "Sailor Soldiers are born of stars and planets," started Kakyū, "They've been fighting since the creation of the galaxy against those who infringe on peace. Until at last, the origin of evil throughout the galaxy, Chaos, was defeated and sealed by the legendary strongest Sailor Soldier. However, after a long period of time, Chaos has appeared again in the galaxy."
"And this Galaxia person," asked Cyborg.
"Galaxia is trying to steal all of the Star Seeds and bring the whole galaxy back into chaos," said Kakyū.
"So… this enemy is over a thousand years old," said Beast Boy worriedly.
"Then, what chance do we have against this foe," asked Starfire.
"There IS a chance," said Kakyū, "If we can get the Light of Hope that the legendary Soldier has left."
"You are talking about Sailor Cosmos," said Nehelenia.
Everyone turned to Queen Nehelenia when she started to speak up. She was so silent when Princess Kakyū was giving information. Even Raven shivered when she heard the name Chaos. When all eyes turned to Queen Nehelenia, they could see that she was clenching her hand into a fist. Queen Nehelenia couldn't believe that after everything they have been through, Chaos came back. Chaos was also the reason as to why her memories were almost wiped and replaced by memories of a woman fearing that she wasn't beautiful during her sister's rule. When Usagi called out to Queen Nehelenia about Sailor Cosmos, she couldn't respond as a pink blur interrupted and latched onto Princess Kakyū. "Chibi~," cried out the blur.
"Uh," said Taiki, "Princess?"
"Yes," said Kakyū.
"Who is this," asked Seiya.
"This is Chibi Chibi," said Kakyū, "She has been within the incense burner with me for as long as I could remember."
"So, she was hidden from my empathy and was hidden from view by being behind you all this time," asked Raven.
"Well, to be fair," said Yaten, "You DID make all of us disappear from the school faster than the Inners could detach Usagi from your side. How COULD you know that someone so small was latching behind our princess when you teleported?"
"That is true, nēchan," said Usagi.
Raven glowered as everyone laughed a bit at her expense. Well, to also be fair, she WAS emotional when she thought Usagi was dead. It was Queen Nehelenia who brought everyone back to what was happening. Queen Nehelenia told them that Sailor Cosmos was a Sailor Senshi that was lost in the olden times, but had powers that were on par with Chaos. She also said that in the olden times, Sailor Cosmos was called the Light of Hope. "So, we have a lost in time Sailor Senshi that could be the antithesis to Chaos," said Robin as he laid out the facts, "We also have to deal with Usagi's protectors."
"So, the plan is…," asked Beast Boy.
"The plan is to make a plan with the Inners and Outers," said Usagi, "But, it will be hard because of their trust issues. The Inners do not trust nēchan if I heard the story correctly about Anger coming out, and the Outers will attack first before ask questions to know the situation."
"Great," groaned Beast Boy, "More troubles."
"First thing we need to do is to get MY protectors to come over here and TALK about the plan," said Usagi.
"That won't be too hard," said Raven, "I just have to PLAY the bad guy then."
"With us as your minions," said Yaten, "Let's face it. The Outers trust you, but they don't trust us so-called Outsiders."
"I don't like that you two are going to be villains," said Usagi worriedly.
"What are we," muttered Seiya to Taiki, "Chopped liver?"
"Don't worry," said Robin, "We'll be there to restrain your protectors."
"Oh yes," said Starfire, "We'll make them listen."
Usagi nodded hesitantly while Seiya and Taiki grumbled at being called minions. However, they couldn't really complain. What Yaten said WAS true. The Outer Senshi do NOT like them at all. They, at least, looked at their princess to see mirth in her eyes. Robin then took charge as he IS leader of the Titans to hash out what to do. Queen Nehelenia suggested to use her mirrors to trap them in UNTIL all of them listened to what their princess has to say. Queen Nehelenia also had a semi-evil look to her eyes when she found out what the others almost did to her niece. Pulling away from someone who WAS trying to heal her little sister AND attacking all of them so closely that their attacks almost hit their princess? Queen Nehelenia needed to teach the Senshi NOT to almost hurt her niece indeed. "So, that's the first plan until we can get a semi- good plan in place for the final battle, ne," asked Usagi.
"Yes," said Kakyū, "Though, Sailor Moon, I am sorry for all the trouble you had to go through."
"Ah," said Usagi, "No need to apologize! We, at least, now have an alliance together to defeat Galaxia together. Also, call me Usagi-chan!"
"Then, please call me Kakyū," said a smiling Kakyū.
"Since that is set," said Cyborg, "What exactly are we going to do with the little one?"
When Cyborg asked that, everyone turned to see the little girl still nestled on Princess Kakyū's lap. They all have forgotten about the little girl as they planned out on HOW to get the Inners and Outers to fight alongside the Titans and the Starlights. Sensing eyes on her, Chibi Chibi turned her head to stare at everyone. Usagi and Raven also made a mental note about how Chibi Chibi had a similar hairstyle as Usagi's, except hers were in two heart shapes. Her eyes, though, were a similar blue color as Usagi's own. Chibi Chibi smiled in confusion before tilting her head and asked, "Chibi~?"
AN: Chibi Chibi is a hitchhiker, but a cute one! ;) Usagi and Raven also noted that she looks so similar to Usagi as well. 8D As for the Sailor Cosmos thing, I made it so that SHE was the legendary Senshi and the Light of Hope, even though we ALL know that Cosmos is actually Usagi. =P Queen Nehelenia, to me, would also fight alongside her niece, though in anime and manga, she's neither Usagi's aunt. I just made her that as she ruled the dark side of the Moon while Queen Serenity ruled the light side. Two halves of a whole, ne? ^^ Though, this also showed a bit of Yaten finally realizing his/her love for Usagi. Usagi, however, will be a bit dense until like AFTER the battle or near it… maybe… XD Anyways! Happy reading and see ya next chapter! =D
