The beginning of part II
A swirling mass appeared and disappeared, but not before a girl with light purple hair and light red ehai stepped into the area. The girl looked around her. There was no one there. The Time Gate stood without any visible support. There was a constant change of colors in the area, but it stood toward the purple pink side.
Seishi walked toward the door of her new home. Then, before she could realize what was happening she was on her back with the business end of a staff pointed at her head. At the tip of the staff was a jewel, red as blood. It began to glow as the protector of the Time Gate spoke.
" Who are you and what are you doing here?"
" Meiou Seishi desu. I'm here by orders of Queen Selenity- Sama."
" Queen Selenity- Sama sent you?"
" hai. Now can you get off of me?"
" no. How do I know you're not lying?"
" Usagi."
" Nani?"
" Usagi. Queen Selenity- Sama said to tell you 'Usagi' and that you'd know what to do."
" She told you that?"
" hai."
" Okay, Seishi- chan. What are you here for?"
Pluto let her guard down. Queen Selenity had told Pluto that if ever an intruder came that knew the password, "Usagi", then they were to be trusted. Seishi stood up and Pluto got a chance to look her over. The girl was just a little younger than her fourteen years. She had purple hair that hung loose. Her ehai were a little lighter than her own. The girl was also kind of tall. Still shorter than Pluto the girl was still taller than most people her age.
" Pluto- Sama..."
" Sama?"
" hai, you are very important."
" I am?"
" hai."
" If you say so."
" As I was saying, I'm here by order of Queen Selenity- Sama. She has decided, along with her council that it would be wise if you weren't left all alone. This way you have someone to talk to or something."
" They said that?"
" hai."
" And you were sent here?"
" hai."
" By choice?"
" no. I didn't want to be here. I was pretty much ordered."
" Well, that's good..."
" Nani?"
" Not that you were ordered that I have someone to talk to. It get lonely here."
" I could imagine."
***********************************************************************
POV change, Pluto.
Seishi- chan is really quiet. Actually more withdrawn than I am. I've tried too many times to talk to her, but she refuses and just leaves to somewhere else. I think that she blames me for her being here. I don't really want her to be mad at me, but I also don't want to be alone.
***********************************************************************
After sixth months
Seishi- chan has been really distant towards me. I think that everyday she withdraws even more. If that is even possible. The queen sent for me a little while ago. She told me that the current planet senshi were dead and that their successors were being found. I had to be away from the Time Gate for a time and that left Seishi- chan alone for two months. When I got back she was staring at the time stream and checking up on things. While I watched her she was making sure that everything ran smoothly. She made a few beginner mistakes, but will get better after I teach her.
***********************************************************************
A full year later
Seishi-chan has gotten better at guarding the Time Gate. She's not as isolated as before, she actually spends time with me. She talks to me after I get back from the "realm" as she calls it. She wants to hear all the things that are happening in the Silver Millennium. She got a little sad when she heard that the senshi died. Really got sad when she heard that the outers had died. I guess she felt that she had a connection to them somehow.
Seishi- chan has gotten a little easier to deal with. She doesn't hate me anymore. She realized that if she was going to survive living for an eternity with someone that she might want to get along with them. Queen Selenity- sama has told me that as soon as Seishi- chan turns 20 that I should bring her back to the palace so she can make sure that Seishi- chan doesn't age past that. I guess that it is good because I won't age past that so it's good for both of us. Except that immortality is not a goal of Seishi- Chan's.
***********************************************************************
POV change, Seishi. Seishi is twenty years old, Pluto is twenty-four.
This isn't so bad. I can handle this. People don't change that much. It has been ONLY TWELVE YEARS! I think that I can handle this. People aren't evil there. Maybe Queen Selenity but no one else. The princess is good. Or rather the Queen. It's weird. The queen that I know isn't in power anymore. Her daughter is. The one that was smothered by the planet senshi. I have to go to the palace; at least Pluto- chan is going with me. That is a good part. I like her; she is a little more isolated than I am. I think. She does get to leave the Time Gate every once in a while.
***********************************************************************
At the palace
The queen was so formal. Almost no friendly matter in her. It's almost funny. The queen has said that Pluto- chan and I could stay here for a while. It's nice. The varying colors, everything isn't this mass of swirling colors. I had almost forgotten what Earth looked like. It is so pretty floating in the sky. And the sun against the blackness of space. Pluto- chan makes sure that she sees me everyday. It is almost as if she were afraid that I was going to leave. But I know that I cannot forget her. I couldn't leave her. She is my only true friend.
The truth behind the matter is that she is the only person that I can trust. This is a very unfortunate event because I know that she will not always be there. She is allowed to leave the Time Gate in times of extreme emergency, or by orders of the queen. I cannot leave because I am under no true obligation to be there. I do not quite mind anymore. I used to blame Pluto- chan for my being isolated but I realized that she had as much choice in being there as I did, which is to say, none.
I have spent my time in front of the time stream learning about the past. I have Pluto- chan test me to see if I have truly become a master of a particular period. For some reason, Pluto- chan seems able to remember everything without actually trying. This annoys me to no end. I have some control over the time stream, not much. It will show me what I want to see, but it will not show me if there is a tear in the integrity. That does not help Pluto- chan much. She still believes that she needs to stay by the gate to fix any problems that may arise.
I started to learn how to control it, but Pluto- chan for some reason stopped trying to teach me. I think that Selenity- Sama told her to stop. That doesn't bother me, I only think that it would have been better if Pluto- chan had just told me. I don't like the fact that she feels comfortable keeping secrets from me. I thought that our friendship meant more to her than that.
***********************************************************************
POV change, Pluto. Still at the palace
Queen Selenity- Sama has finally made Seishi- chan immortal. Well, not exactly. She can die but not of old age. She'll stay the same age forever. Just the same as me. I suppose that is for the best. It would be hard saying good bye. She truly is my only friend.
We are going to go back to the Time Gate in about a month. The queen thinks that it would be best if Seishi- chan spent some time outside of the Time Gate, and I have to stay since Seishi- chan refuses to go anywhere without me. I think that I like it that way, now she won't leave, not of her own volition anyway.
***********************************************************************
POV change, Seishi. Ten years later
The time is perfect for a party. The queen called us for a party in the name of her daughter, Serenity- Sama. Finally a child with a name besides Selenity, I was starting to get confused. There are too many of them. Pluto- chan seems to think that she should stay here. She knows that something is going to happen soon, she just doesn't know what. She told me to not go to Earth. I don't know. I actually was going to go to earth, except now I'm afraid to. Pluto- chan never gives any advice like this. I half feel like telling everyone to be wary of the terrenes but I hold my tongue. It is one of the rules that Selenity- Sama had given me. And I dare not break one; she told me it was for my own good.
I think I actually want to stay here. Pluto- chan isn't going, although she is going to speak to the queen about something. I don't know, maybe I should go, I mean it's the future queens fourteenth birthday. I think it's a special time. I did spend my fourteenth birthday here, with Pluto- chan. And all my birthdays after that. Pluto-chan looked in to the stream and saw that I as born in the summer. She told me a little about my past, until I told her to stop. It is easier if you don't remember.
I learned a while ago that you couldn't look at the Time Stream to find events that deal with you directly or indirectly. Pluto- chan says that she gets a feeling of extreme uneasiness. She knows that she can sometimes be wrong, but she truly does feel that this time something is going to happen and that it will involve the people of earth.
***********************************************************************
POV change, Serenity. In the palace of the Silver Millennium
Earth is hanging in the sky above the moon. The palace looks so full of life. It truly is sad that Seishi- chan and Pluto- san can't make it. I know that Pluto- san warned me about people from earth but it can't be that bad. I know that Serenity- chan has fallen in love with the young Endymion- san, but it cannot be bad enough that Pluto would become uneasy about it. Well to be sure I did have the guards stay on the watch for any threats, including the outer planet senshi. They are on call. If anything happens then everyone will be protected. How could any enemy build a fortress so close to their foes and not be found out? no, Pluto is wrong about this. Endymion- san is not a problem and neither are the people from his planet.
***********************************************************************
POV change, third person. Later that week, still in the palace of the Silver Millennium.
The party is going fine. Serenity is wandering about the palace, a little bored with the whole thing. She wanders into the garden and she looks up to the earth longingly.
"Endymion..." "hai, Serenity." "Endymion!"
The two run up to each other and kiss. They talk for a while before guard's chase off Endymion. Serenity goes back to the party. As she descends the staircase her hand is taken. Looking at the person that dares to try such a thing she smiles as she realizes that its Endymion, with a mask covering his ehai. As he leads her to the dance floor he begins talking to her. He tells her about the problems on Earth, and that he may have to leave for a while. She leans her head on his chest and continues to dance, trying to tune out the horrid story that he is telling her. They eventually go to a balcony and talk in private.
At the head of the ballroom, Queen Selenity sits on her throne watching all that proceeds. She watches as her daughter and Endymion walk away to talk to each other. 'Is their relationship so bad as to set the senshi on guard?' The queen is about to go tell her quartiers remove the call for an "on guard" but is interrupted by the sound of two cats running out of breath through the ballroom.
"The dark kingdom is attacking! The dark kingdom is attacking! "
The queen starts up, running to her daughter and at the same time the planet senshi do the same. They catch up to see the princess throwing herself onto Endymion's sword to kill herself. Endymion is dead in the background. Serenity's blood floats in the air as the bodies are levitated toward a specter in the sky.
A battle begins that the queen had not truly anticipated. Her soldiers were soon over come as were the senshi. They each died by hands of the generals from earth. Endymion's guard and the planet senshi's lover.
The queen realizes that there is no true way to win this war, and so she calls upon the outer planet senshi. They all come, including a sad looking Pluto. When the queen sees her she immediately says:
"Gomen ne, Pluto- san. I didn't believe you. I didn't heed your warning and this is what happened. Maybe I can still right things."
Then Selenity ordered the three remaining senshi to call upon the senshi of death and rebirth, SailorSaturn. The senshi call upon her and with three words she destroys the Silver Millennium and all its remnants. She also destroyed the enemy, and then she died because that was her course in life. The sacrificing soldier. The outer senshi watched as the queen played through a course of events in her mind. If she were to let the power of the ginzuishou loose then she could save her daughter and everyone else from the kingdom. If she were to do that, however, then she would also save the dead dark kingdom. But it truly was the only way that she could save her daughter. And then if she were to do that then she could trap the dark kingdom, making it impossible for them to get out.
The queen opened her ehai with a look of determination across her face. This would be one thing that she could not fail in. She looked up to the outers and told them her plan. SailorUranus and SailorNeptune let their hands intertwine, for they knew that anything else would not do justice to what they wanted to tell each other. They simply looked into each other's ehai and a world of love was instantly communicated. Pluto looked to the queen:
"Don't send me." "Nani? You don't want to rest, this will give you the chance to maybe live a normal life when you're reborn." "I don't want a normal life. I want to stay and watch the time stream. Such is my duty; I dare not stray from that. It is necessary that someone be there that can handle an emergency. And besides, who will awaken the senshi?"
The queen relented and sent Pluto back to the time stream. Pluto watched from the safety of another realm the course of events. All the senshi, the inhabitants of the Silver Millennium and sadly the Dark Kingdom where sent to the far future where they could hopefully live a normal life.
The end of part II
A swirling mass appeared and disappeared, but not before a girl with light purple hair and light red ehai stepped into the area. The girl looked around her. There was no one there.
