(Chapter Seven)
Beryl walked out of the beauty parlor at the outskirts of town. She had dyed her hair the same color she had had before she died the reddish color, not the green and changed it to wavy. She got contacts and made her eyes brown. She looked very similar to the way she had looked when she had been Queen of the Negaverse.
As she walked to her car, she noticed a young, dark-haired man that reminded her of Prince Endymion. He was kissing a blond with long pigtails. Beryl slammed her fist on the hood of the car. Why did everything remind her of that bratty little princess winning her Endymion's love? Well, she comforted herself, she would get Endymion and her kingdom back soon.
She took out her compact and spoke the words to open the portal. Dark Endymion's face shone from behind the clear glass. "Beryl, you will get that girl Usagi for me. Don't dawdle around with make-up! You'll like the alternative to what I'm offering you less." Beryl bit her lip to swallow her anger. "Usagi is living with ChiChi's son and his best friend. It should be easy to give her to you." Dark Endymion smiled. "Good. Bring her to me. Immediately" he vanished from the mirror.
Usagi looked up as the door to the transport tube opened with a ring. Gohan had left to work on a project at work with one of his fellow workers and Trunks had left to see his friend at work who needed help. She gasped, she knew at a glance that it was ChiChi but she had changed her appearance. ChiChi glared at her for some reason. Then she suddenly shook her head and smiled at her tensely. "Usagi, I need help. Will you cocme?" Usagi looked surprised. But this woman had been very kind to her, why not help her?
"Sure, but shouldn't we call Goku? He's really worried about you." ChiChi shrugged. Anything to get the pesky brat to Dark Endymion! "Okay. I must have worried him a lot!" Usagi walked over to the communicator on the wall. She pressed a button, pressed several keys, flicked a switch and then the monitor lit up. "Goku's face illuminated the screen. "ChiChi just came over, and she's fine." she told him through the hidden mike in the screen. "Thank God! I've been searching the map of the city for over an hour! Thanks!" His face disappeared off the screen.
She turned back to ChiChi. "Okay so what do you need help on?" she blinked then stared at ChiChi. "What the-" she began before the black portal that ChiChi had conjured with a flick of her wrist sucked her in and everything went black.
***********************************************************************
"Aaaahhh!" Rei's scream pierced the air. She plummeted towards the ground from the sky where she had been transported. She suddenly stopped seconds before she hit the ground. She looked up into the face of her savior. "Van? Ohmygod, thank you!" she gave him a great big hug and she kissed his cheek.
Merle stared at Van's surprised yet pleased face. Her face fell and she felt tears stinging her eyes. She turned and ran into the forest that the fortress had stopped beside on all fours. She stopped when she knew she was to far away and too well hidden for them to find her. She fell to the ground on all fours and began sobbing. Why did he have to fall for a girl from the Mystic Moon? Why not her? She had always been there with him even when there was still a Finaalia.
"Aaaww, look at the poor kitty!" she heard a voice say. She looked up into the leaves of the small trees that she had hidden in. The bark of one of the trees suddenly morphed into a face. "Wha-" cried Merle seconds before the branches of the tree encircled her. "Mmph." could only be heard from her. "Hmm, the Lords of Zaibach will be happy with you."
"WHAT! You bring me only a cat-girl! What can she do!" yelled Dilandau, a young boy-lord of Zaibach at the monster shrinking away from him. "Why don't you see her first?" suggested the tree monster in a whisper. "Not, now. I have better things to do than stare at a cat." He turned and stalked away.
Far away, Rei was talking to Hitomi, Van, and Alan about what had happened to her. "I was transported by Ami who is Sailor Mercury. She had been sucked into the portal of time along with all the other senshi. They gave me back all my memories and then tossed me my communicator as I was disappearing." she held up the communicator that was a fiery red and which seemed to glow all on its own.
SMASH! BOOM! AUGH!! The sudden noises jerked their heads towards the door. Both Rei and Hitomi gasped. "No!" they both cried simultaneously. Van and Alan stared at the both of them, especially at Rei. No one had ever sensed the future other Hitomi. Then why was Rei wearing the same horrified expression on her face as Hitomi? "What is it?" asked Alan. "There's no way!" cried Rei. "There CAN'T be a way that a whole army can be invisible!" Van and Alan stared at each other. how could Rei know about the invisible army? They had never said anything about that! "What did you see?" asked Alan grimly. It's Merle, she's going to fall for Dilandau. But right now, they're going to attack very soon!" Vaun was shocked. Merle? Dilandau? How? Hitomi stared at Rei. "Yes, exactly!" How does she know that? Hitomi wondered staring at Rei's shocked face. "Oh no, they're attacking the fortress!"
They could hear the splintering of wood and they jumped up. Van and Alan looked at each other. "Van will take the Escaflowne while I take my own guymellef. You two can't do anything." He told them, his voice rising as he talked. "Hey!" cried Rei. "Of course I can help, these guymellefs or whatever they're called are not resistant to fire, and fire is my specialty!" Alan looked at her. "we can't risk-" he began but Rei looked at him pleadingly. "Please? I can be of more help than you think!" Van turned to her and melted at the expression on her face. "Very well, come on!" he called and started to the door. "Wait!" cried Rei. "Will, one of you carry me or something? I'm not that tall. And one more thing... wait for me to transform!" she screamed the last words.
Hitomi giggled at that. She already knew how Sailor Mars would look like but would Van's eyes pop out or what? "Uh Rei-" But it was too late, Rei had already spoken the henshin words. "Mars... Star... Power!" Oh, no I'm naked! She thought too late. Her clothing disappeared and her naked body was covered by shimmery ribbons of power and magic. The ribbons turned into circles of flames and shifted form into the remaining parts of her outfit. She appeared wearing a tight, white bodysuit with a purple bow in front, and a mini-skirt. Her outfit was completed with a tiara with a red stone set exactly at her forehead, a red choker, and red high heels. Hitomi giggled again. Yep, she'd been right, both Alan and Van were staring at the beautiful girl in a mini-skirt.
***********************************************************************
Oh, by the way, the parts of the senshi stuck in the future parts don't have anything because they don't have anything interesting to do. So I'm going to center in both Rei and Usagi. So the stuff that should go between these rows of stars is non-existent. ^_~
***********************************************************************
"Augh." moaned Usagi finally waking up. She sat up and looked around. "What happened?" she spotted a throne with a with a crescent moon on it and walked cautiously towards it. Where am I? she wondered. There was suddenly a cold breeze and the candles that stood next to the throne flickered violently. She looked around turning her head this way and that. She spotted something out of the corner of her eye and she reached for her broach, clutching it nervously. She looked at the throne once again and saw that someone was sitting in it. She squinted and then gave a shuddery gasp.
"En-Endymion?!" she stuttered. The guy's beautiful blue eyes softened a little. There she was right in front of him, his beautiful princess that was destined to be his. "No, I am not the Endymion that you know, I am his twin brother, Dark Endymion. You were destined to be mine, not my brother's." She stared at him curiously and walked up to his throne. She cocked her head and stared even more. He had never been looked at in that way and was a little confused but hid it well. She looked at him for two seconds more and nodded. "I believe you. You are Endymion's brother... but why would I be destined to be with you and not your brother?" He was surprised at her question.
"I was the one that you met in the Moon Kingdom. We fell in love, remember? But unknown to anybody, Beryl captured me. I still loved you from afar and I sent my brother to be with you. But something happened that I wasn't expecting. He fell in love with you too. He never kept his promise to free me and when you both died and he became Mamoru, he forgot everything about me. But I never died. When you destroyed Beryl I had no way to leave the evil that had taken over me, i still can't. You had forgotten all about me, but how could I ever forget you? I love you. Please, won't you stay with me?" he looked so much like a pleading litle boy that Usagi was tempted.
"But what about the future? What about Chibi-Usa? What will happen to all of my friends that are in stuck in the future? They will all be erased!" she stared at Dark Endymion. "You got one thing wrong though. Mamoru doesn't love me anymore. He loves Elizabeth, Andrew's little sister." Yeah, yeah, but I HAD to get rid of him! Dark Endymion raised an eyebrow. "But if he doesn't love you, then why is there still and Endymion in the future?" Usagi shook her head. "I don't know. I don't know anything any more." she started to cry a little and the crystal drops fell from her cheeks. Even Dark Endymion with his evil ridden heart was overcome with love towards the young girl, now more stronger than ever. He stood up from the throne and he hugged the one girl he had ever loved. She shivered a little but accepted the hug.
He suddenly broke away, clutching his heart. He whipped around to see Beryl now in her own body. "How-" she laughed at him. "You idiot! Did you think you could control me? You are a fool. Now I have returned to my own body and Prince Endymion will be mine. You are nothing!" she grabbed something and shoved it towards Usagi, a heavy figure. She turned it over and saw that it was ChiChi, now back to normal. That means that there is no more hair dye and stuff like that!
"Augh." Dark Endymion fell to the floor still clutching his heart. "Stop it!" she begged Beryl. Instead she clenched her fist and Dark Endymion cried out in pain. He lifted his head towards Usagi and whispered to her. "I love you, I have always loved you... Goodbye my love." With one last wrench of his body, he collapsed and lay still. Her tears fell on his cheeks and the black moon insignia disappeared, instead a gold crescent flickered once before it disappeared forever. She leaned down and kissed his lips.
Clenching her fist, she stood up and stared at Beryl. Beryl was taken aback a little. Usagi's facial expression... it was hard, cold fury. Her face was completely absorbed in such a look of hatred that her eyes had darkened to almost black. "You will pay." she knew before she saw it, from Dark Endymion's still body, there can a rush of golden light which began to swirl in the air. It made another portal and with complete trust in him, she stepped into it. Right before Beryl lunged at her seconds later. As she was transported, she could hear the words of the man she had once fallen in love with. "Don't forget me again, my sweet princess..." Usagi hugged herself and whispered. "Never... NEVER!" she screamed the last word.
She tumbled into the apartment of Gohan and Trunks right when they had just gotten into the apartment and found it a disaster area. (Let's just say that the portal that sucked Usagi in made quite a mess) She fell to the ground right in front of their stunned faces and fainted dead away.

"Sure, but shouldn't we call Goku? He's really worried about you." ChiChi shrugged. Anything to get the pesky brat to Dark Endymion! "Okay. I must have worried him a lot!"
