Right Mistakes ~ Chapter 2
Only one thought ran through Serenity's mind. *It has begun…The great test…*
She exchanged a look with Gwen as she saw that Gwen, too realized that this must be part of Pluto's test.
Then, they had no more time to think. The doors to the War Room opened suddenly to reveal the four men in full armor. Taking a quick survey of the room, she saw that they were alone.
*Two blondes, a brunette, and a *whoa!* silver?!? That's a Lunarian color. He's related to me?!?* Serenity thought with amazement.
"Status?" asked the King with false calm.
"It's almost landed. According to my computer, it's been sending out an enormous amount of negative energy," replied Zoisite.
"We've upped the security and sent scouting parties to find the creature when it lands, but other than that, there is not much we can do," Malachite added.
"I see…" the Queen murmured worriedly.
Endymion grimaced at the unpleasant thought of his peaceful, beautiful home being under attack. *I won't let it happen!* He thought as his blue eyes flashed with determination and fierce love for his homeland.
*Whoa! Pretty boy's majorly mad!* thought an almost amused Sere.
Then their thoughts were again interrupted as Zoisite panicked uncharacteristically. "What the…! The estimated landing place just switched from the Forest of Oaks to …..HERE!"
"HERE!?!?!" came the outraged cries of everyone in the room.
"YES HERE!" cried an impatient Zoisite again. This time it shook Malachite out of his shock.
"Quickly! Shift into defense!" ordered Malachite briskly. His face cleared of all emotions. You can almost see him analyzing the situation from every angle at a breakneck speed.
The four stood guard, gathering the King and Queen, Endymion, and Gwen into the center of their protective circle. Serenity, who had been ignored the entire time, spoke up, "Where exactly will this THING be landing?"
Before anyone had time to answer, a large ball of slime green fur suddenly appeared in the center of the room.
*Whoa! That thing gives the word UGLY a bad name!* thought Serenity as she studied the answer to her question. The "thing" was humongous. It looks like a ball of green fur with a pair of menacing red eyes. A salivating, gaping mouth opened in a war cry. The hideous, unearthly shriek rang through the room terrifying its' human occupants.
"Um…I think that answers your question…" stuttered Endymion nervously. Never in his life had he seen such an ugly…moving…thing!"
"Die! In the name of Queen Beryl! Die, imbeciles, die!!!" the monster snarled as it sent a blast of black magic towards the queen.
It was too quick, much too quick for her to dodge. She froze in terror as she saw her end.
"NO! MOTHER! NO!!!!" yelled Endymion as he shoved her out of the way taking the blast for himself.
The blow knocked him off with such force that sent him flying into the opposite wall in the other side of the room where Serenity stood. He slid down the wall and grunted in pain as he struggled to stand up. Having taken a blast twice his size, he collapsed back in a heap onto the floor.
Malachite cursed long and hard as he caught a glimpse of his prince. Various cuts and bruises adorned his handsome face. His clothes were scorched and in tatters. His hair had been singed. The bloody and broken skin on his chest gave an unpleasant sight, too. All in all, he looked pitiful. Anger filled him as he joined his fellow generals as they lashed out at the monster with their powers.
"Ice calamity attack!" he cried thrusting out a hand. It glowed blue and ice shards appeared in the air. He twisted his hand to control the direction that the shards will point to. Taking aim, he unleashed the ice shards with a growl.
Meanwhile, Serenity hurried towards Endymion as he laid injured on the floor. She grimaced in sympathy.
*I hope he's not hurt too badly… How dare that "thing" hurt… WHOA hold up! Why should I care if he's alright or not!?!* thought Sere.
Throwing that thought out of the way, she gently helped him lean against the wall. He began to wake slowly as he inhaled sharply at the sudden pain in his chest.
"Easy there! You took a hard hit," Sere murmured soothingly to him.
"I'm alright," he replied, reluctant of allowing her to see him in a moment of weakness. *A guy has to protect his ego!* he thought with fleeting humor as he remembered that she had held him captive on her bedroom floor.
The generals were beginning to lose. Malachite's ice shards had dissolved as it neared the creature. Jadeite's "Forest Fire Rage", Nephrite's "Stars Laser Net", and Zoisite's "Ocean Tidal Swallow" like Malachite's attack, dissolved as they neared it.
"I don't believe this!" groaned Jadeite in a mixture of fear and weariness.
"What is this thing? Any ideas?" asked Nephrite targeting Zoisite.
"You'll be the first to know when and if I find out!" shouted Zoisite as he dove for cover. The beam of black energy missed him by only half an inch. *Whew!* he thought gratefully, *Someone up there must really like me!*
Gwen looked on with worry as rage threatened to spill over. She had offered to help them, but the king and queen forbade her to risk her life. Forbade her to do what she had been trained to do! Hah! From the corner of her eyes, she saw the monster ready another blast.
"Look out!" she shouted loudly in warning drawing the thing's attention…
The red, unintelligent eyes lit with a glow on Gwen as it began to throw the blast at her.
Serenity felt anger boiling up inside of her. *Nothing hurts my best friend!* Her crystal blue eyes flashed with annoyance and impatience.
"Enough!" she roared.
Everyone in the room, including the monster, froze. Her voice, which was tinted with anger, promised a swift kick in the ass for anyone who disobeys her.
She unsheathed the Moon Sword and shouted, "You want a fight? You've got one!" She ran towards the thing in a speed that would have made Alex envious. The monster panicked and threw blasts of energy at Serenity. She dodged the blasts with an agility that is rare among humankind. Finally in front of the monster, she ran her sword through the its' head. Green liquid poured out before all evidence of the thing's existence disappeared. The entire process took approximately five seconds.
Gwen chuckled with amusement at seeing all the shocked faces in the room, "Trust you to make it look like a piece of cake!"
Grinning cockily, she replied, "Can't help it! It was just too easy!"
"Um… I'm sorry to be rude, but who are you?" asked an awestruck Jadeite. *Wow!*
Rolling her eyes, she muttered a "Here we go again!"
Then, plastering a smile on her face, she offered Jadeite a handshake replying, "I'm Princess Serenity of the Silver Kingdom."
Four jaws dropped onto the cold stone floor.
*Most beautiful woman in the galaxy? No way! It's more like Most beautiful woman in the UNIVERSE!* thought a dazed Jadeite who had begun to daydream about taking a PRIVATE vacation with this magnificent piece of the feminine population.
*I wonder if she's a good chess player??* Zoisite thought excitedly. Maybe finally, he'll find a good opponent.
*Little Sere…Sister…* thought Malachite tenderly.
*So this is what the stars have been trying to tell me about…* thought Nephrite with a laugh as he remembered the reply he received when he told Jadeite about his vision.
Flashback…
"I'm serious! The stars have been telling me about this woman…" Nephrite began, but was cut off by a laughing Jadeite's reply.
"I'm serious, too! I've got an eight letter word for you… HORMONES!"
End Flashback…
He caught a glimpse of Jadeite drooling over Serenity. *Look who's talking! HORMONES!!!*
Having recovered from his fantasy, he resumed his usual manner. Instead of shaking her hand, he brought it to his lips and lightly kissed it.
"A pleasure to meet you, Princess. Welcome to our world and thank you for saving our bu-*ahem ahem* backsides."
The others echoed his "thank you".
"You're welcome. I needed some exercise anyhow!"
It was only then that they noticed that Endymion's missing. Poor Endymion had fallen unconscious leaning against the wall.
"Endy! Someone go find a healer!" ordered the frantic queen as she rushed to her son's side.
"No need for a healer," interrupted Serenity. She rested her hands over his slack body and a glow enveloped his body. In a flash, all his cuts and wounds disappeared.
"There! All healed," she told the queen with a yawn.
"This always takes a lot out of me," explained Serenity as if nothing special happened.
"Thank you, but how…" trailed off the confused queen.
"My queen, royal lunarians have special healing abilities," replied Malachite to her unasked question.
"Thank you, my dear," said King Elysion gratefully.
"Yes, thank you," echoed Endymion who had awakened sometime when they were talking.
"It's nothing… Glad everybody's alright," she replied with a blush.
*Not such an ice princess afterall! She's not so bad for a girl!* thought Endymion. His eyes glittered with admiration.
"Stop it, people! You're embarrassing her!" laughed Gwen.
*Note to self: Kill Gwen later* thought an unamused Sere. Then a thought occurred to her.
"Malachite, how is it that you have silver hair? Are you a royal Lunarian?" asked Sere suspiciously. *His features look a lot like my lost brother's…* Serenity's older brother had been sent from home at the tender age of ten to escape Beryl's hunt. The witch had been looking for a powerful lunar male child with healing abilities. Her plan had been to force him to serve as one of her generals by brainwashing him. Serenity's brother had been the only choice. Their mother sent him to Earth where the atmosphere would prevent Beryl from feeling his presence, but something went wrong in the teleportation and all traces of the child disappeared. Beryl attacked the grieving mother and the four-year-old crown princess. In a rage, Queen Serenity killed Beryl and banished her people from the galaxy. That had been fourteen years ago. No one had heard about the prince ever since.
MAJOR NOTE:
I received this review...
..... why is Uranus male, or have the soul of a male? Lesbians do not need one person to have the soul of a male... Is it becuase they are senshi and Lesbians arn't normal or equal to others? ....... - Eternalmoonprincess (Signed Review)
A BIGGG CLEAR UP FOR ALL OF YOU!
I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST LESBIANS. I THINK THAT THEY ARE NORMAL AND DEFINITELY EQUAL TO EVERYBODY ELSE. AND NO IT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE SENSHI... THE REASON THAT I PUT THAT PIECE IN IS BECAUSE HARUKA ALWAYS TRIED TO LOOK AND ACT LIKE A MALE. I FIGURE THAT I WOULD DO HER A FAVOR AND WORK AT THEIR PART OF THE STORY FROM THAT ANGLE. THAT WAS PURELY FOR THE GOOD OF THE STORY!!! NO BIAS OPINIONS ATTACHED. DON'T TAKE IT THE WRONG WAY, PEOPLE!
Whew! I hope that got the message across! My throat's sore from the screaming... Now really people! Don't insult me like that! I'm a firm believer in equality for all!!! ^_^
BUT... if anyone decides to flame me for it... ::looks around hopefully:: ::sees no one yet:: ::sigh:: It's cold in NY! I can use an extra heating source! lol...
::SEES GRINNING READERS GETTING READY TO FLAME_:: WAIT!!!! I'M JUST KIDDING! AHHHHH NOOOOOOO................
