Scene 87 Anubis's room (Summer)
Sammy: Show me what you mean by that.
Anubis: I can't show you. It just happens spontaneously
Narrator: They were in Anubis's room. "They" as in Anubis, Jenny and
Sammy. Jenny couldn't get a hold of Luna and Artemis because Serena and Mina
weren't answering the communicator, which meant that they
probably lost it somewhere in their rooms again.
Sammy: Wierd
Jenny: Is that all you can say about it?
Sammy: There's not a logical explanation I can think of.
Anubis: So what am I suppose to do? Just leave it like it? What
if I accidently freeze one of my friends? Or Jenny?
Narrator: He put his head in his hands and sighed.
Jenny put a hand on Anubis' shoulder. She felt bad for him.
he had just recently found out he was a Knight, but he can't even control his powers.
Sammy: Wait, calm down, Anubis. I'll think of something.
Jenny: Sammy, why do you know more about the Knights than
Artemis or Luna?
Narrator: The question had been swimming in her head for a long time.
Sammy: From what I can remember, I was advisor to the Knights. Just
as Luna and Artemis are the advisors to the Scouts.That's
the only reason I can give you.
Anubis: Why is this happening only to me?! How can I protect Jenny when I can't even control my own
powers?!
Sammy: Maybe something about the ring is not working.
Narrator: Jenny and Anubis both looked up.
Jenny: What ring?
Sammy: Don't you have the ring?
Anubis: No, what are you talking about?
Sammy: If you don't have the ring, how did you transform?
Anubis: I don't know! I'm new at this. This is the first time in
my life when I can't learn or remember how!
Jenny: Wait, I remember when I saw him transform,
On his forehead, the Diamond sign, the aura would light up and
then he would disappear in a flash of white light and come
back as Diamond Knight!
Sammy: So you didn't see him with the ring?
Anubis: What ring are you talking about?
Sammy: Wait, let me try something, stand back. I haven't
done this for a long time.
Jenny: What are you doing?
Narrator: Sammy jumped high into the air and made a forward
flip in mid air. His feline body made a full circle and
in the circle, appeared a ring from the middle of no where.
Sammy's landing was not as graceful. He fell flat on him back.
Jenny: Sammy, are you alright?
Narrator: She picked up the ring. Sammy tried to get up gracefully,
Sammy: Ugh! Next time,
I'll let Luna and Artemis do the acrobatics.
Jenny: Sammy, what is this ring for?
Sammy: It's for Anubis
Narrator: Jenny handed it to Anubis. Anubis took a look at it. It was a
silver band with a snow white diamond set in the middle.
Anubis: "What is it for?
Sammy: Put it on
Narrator: Anubis obeyed and slipped it onto his pinky. It was a little loose.
Sammy: On your pointer finger
Narrator: Anubis put it on and it fit perfectly.
Sammy: Say Diamond Knight Power.
Anubis: Diamond Knight Power!
Narrator: He felt the power
surge again, but this time from the ring and not his
forehead. He felt the diamond shards touch his body and his
Knight clothes formed. Infront, Diamond Knight stood. Sammy smiled, glad
that he found the simple solution.
Sammy: The ring curbs all your aura, or Diamond Power into
it. That way, you can control it better in your human
form. It's like the scout's transformation pens.
Jenny: But we don't need the pens now, Sammy. Why?
Sammy: Wait, I was about to explain. Now the scouts' powers
are almost at max and there's no real use for the pens
to curb it. The powers can pretty much contain themselves,
and that is why. All the Knights are barely being awakened,
so they need the ring to store the surplus power. All the
Knights need one except Jupiter Knight. He has his sword,
which acts like the ring. I think he is different because he
has the power of thunder and lightning, which is the most
destructive and powerful.
Jenny: Who are the other Knights?
Sammy: I can't remember. Most of it is a big fuzzy blur
to me," Sammy admitted.
Narrator: Anubis had transformed back and was sitting beside
Jenny.
Anubis: What do I do with the ring when I'm not wearing it?
I don't want to lose it.
Sammy: You can store it in your dimensional pocket like the
others,
Anubis: And how do I do that?
Sammy: Just concentrate on putting it away
Narrator: Anubis concentrated, with the ring in his palm. All of
a sudden, it kind of melted into nothing and then it was gone.
Sammy: There, you see. Now if you want it back, just think
hard about it.
Narrator: Anubis followed the instructions and thought about it.
All of a sudden, it was there in his hand. Anubis made it disappear again.
Anubis: Wow,
Narrator: Anubis said and made it disappear again.
Jenny: Weird isn't it?
Anubis: There is just no possible explanation for this. All through
school, I've been learning and proving that things like this
can not happen. But now, it's happening right in front
of me. I just can't explain or prove it.
Narrator: Jenny put a hand on Anubis's and looked at him.
Jenny: Don't try to figure it out. I've spent many days and nights trying to
find some proof behind this, but it's impossible."
When I first found out I was a scout, I
tried to think of a scientific reason that could make this
possible, but found none. Finally, I just declared it
something out of this world, magic even.
Anubis: Magic?
Jenny: I guess
Sammy: It's not magic. It's just what people from the Moon Kingdom
can do.
Anubis: So, Sammy, were you always a cat?
Sammy: Yes
Anubis: Then how come you can talk and do human things? Don't tell me all the pets in the Moon Kingdom can talk too.
Sammy: is not a pet. I am an advisor to the Knights. Luna and Artemis
don't prefer to be called a pets either
Anubis: Oh, sorry. But where I come from, cat's are usually
known as pets.
Narrator: Jenny was shocked. This was not the sweet and kind of shy
Anubis she knew. He was acting, acting like a jerk.
Jenny: Anubis, that's not very nice.
Anubis: Nice? Do you think it's nice that I'm being grabbed
out of my own 'normal' life and being thrown into this?
Oh, I like it alright, because it brings me closer to you,
but look! I'm talking to an orange and yellow cat! Most people would
think I'm tipping off of the sane edge.
Narrator: Anubis immediately wanted to take it back.
Jenny: Anubis...what's happening to you?
Narrator: Anubis got up, walked to the window and stared out. The world
outside was 'normal', but his world would never be. he couldn't see where his life
was heading. For once, he didn't have control of his life.
Anubis: Jenny, I'm sorry. Forget what I said. I didn't mean
any of it. It's just too weird. I never wanted to hurt
you, I'm sorry.
Narrator: Then, he looked at Sammy
Anubis: I'm sorry for calling you just a white cat and a pet, Sammy.
Sammy: It's okay, I understand. You're just under a lot
of pressure.
Jenny: Sammy, can we be alone?
Sammy: Sure. Look, I'll go find Luna and Artemis and talk to them. Call us
if you need us,
Narrator: Sammy jumped out an open window onto the roof.
Jenny walked over to where Anubis was. She felt sorry for him,
because she knew what he was going through. She went through
the same thing after she found out she was a scout. First,
she felt anger. Anger because she could not take control of
her life. Then, she felt pity. Pity to herself. What if
one of the scouts was in trouble and she was unable to come to their aid?
Jenny: Anubis, I know you didn't mean any of that. I know how
you feel, but there's no use moping about it. Just take
advantage of what you have. It IS possible to live a normal
life after all this.
Narrator: Jenny tried to give Anubis some hope that he could still lead a normal life as a sailor scout Although she had never had even a month off of youma fighting. It was like
wherever she went, there was trouble.
Anubis: If I went back to a year ago, and told myself this would
happen, I would have never believed it.
Narrator: He turned around and looked at Jenny. She was the girl he had like
on the first sight. Finding out her intellectual abilities
only made it better. And now, this scout thing got him even closer to her.
Jenny: Look, whenever you need to talk, I'm there, okay?
Anubis: Sure
Narrator: Anubis hugged Jenny and kissed the top of her forehead.
He no longer felt afraid of her. Afraid of the commitment to her.
Scene 88 warlords lounge (Autumn)
Narrator: Mia and Sekhmet were spending some time together.
Mia: (Handing Sekhmet a gold ring with a ruby set in the middle) Here Sekhmet this is a symbol of our eternal friendship.
Sekhmet:(smiling) thanks Mia. ( slips ring on his ring finger and hugs Mia.)
( A Negaverse Lackey attacks.)
Mia: Sekhmet run I will soon Follow.
Sekhmet: All right.
(Sekhmet runs)
Mia: Ruby Power!
Narrator: Vanagrite has told Sailor Ruby that he is one of the finest warriors of the Negaverse.
(Sekhmet decides he is going to go back and help Mia)(Runs back)
(Sekhmet sees Sailor Ruby fighting Vanagrite)
Sekhmet: (Talking to himself) They Appear to be evenly matched.
Carlyle(Telepathically) Appearances can be VERY deceiving.
Narrator: Sekhmet turned around, but he saw no one standing there. He began to wonder if he was hearing things.
Carlyle: You are! But, that's not important. The battle in front of you, however, is VERY Important! And before you as who I am, or Why the battle is important, Vanagarite was not boasting when he said he was the finest warrior. He is just testing her. As for who I am, call me....a friend.
Sekhmet: Who is Vanagarite?
Narrator: This innocent question proved to be Ruby's undoing, as she was distracted by the sound of his voice.
Sailor Ruby: Sekhmet Get out of here! Run!
Narrator: It was at that moment that her guard was momentarily dropped, as Vanagrite got in a shot that sent her sprawling. She steadily got back to her feet, as Vanagrite stood there, taunting her.
Vanagrite: Bad move, Ruby. Allowing yourself to be distracted by a normal human.(looking at Sekhmet) I am Vanagarite. How you know my name is of little consequence, as when I'm done with Sailor Ruby, I shall come after you. Be ready for...
Narrator: whatever words he had to say to Sekehmet were cut off as Fire and Ice nearly took his head off, had he not seen it coming. As it was, it gouged his cheek, producing a stream of green blood, which quickly healed up! He shifted his eyes back, grimaced, and began attacking her in earnest. She became VERY hard pressed to simply avoid his attacks. As this happened, Sekhmet looked on in wonder.
Sekhmet: How does SHE know ME?
Carlyle:(Telepathically) Because, Sekhmet, Sailor Ruby is the one you tried to teach how to use a katana.
Sekhmet: My girlfriend, Mia, is SAILOR RUBY? I don't believe it.
Carlyle: (Telepathically) Believe it! She is Sailor Ruby, and, right now, Sailor Ruby needs YOUR help Before you ask, look at the ring you received as a Symbol of eternal friendship. You will know what to do!
Narrator: Sekhmet looked down at his ring, and saw the gem in the center begin to glow, Some words were associated with that Jewel.
Carlyle: (Telepathically) SEKHMET, THE BATTLE!
Narrator: Sekhmet shifted his gaze to the battle. Sailor Ruby was on the ground, on her knees, while
Vanagarite: Goodbye Sailor Ruby
Narrator: Vanagarite then raised his sword to strike the killing blow. Vangarite smiled as he prepared to strike.
Carlyle: (telepathically) HELP HER, NOW.
Narrator: Sekhmet saw the scene before him, saw the ring in his mind's eye, and the words flew from his mouth as he clenched his ring hand into a fist, and raised it in the air
Sekhmet: RUBY KNIGHT POWER!
Narrator: The ring erupted in a cascade of Red, Orange and Golden energy that traveled down his arm, creating the outfit on his body as it traveled down to form boots with red orange and golden trim. His outfit was similar to that of Chad's and Greg's, save where their outfits were red or blue, his was a mix of gold, red and orange, creating the illusion of spun sunlight. On his belt rested a wicked looking dagger. Sekhmet promptly pulled the dagger, and threw it at Vanagarite. The dagger sunk in to Vanagrites left shoulder, causing him to drop the sword, which quickly disappeared. Sekhmet quickly took advnatage of the situation, ran in, grabbed Sailor Ruby, and leapt off to the side, making sure she was safe, as he spun around to face Vangarite. Vanagarite pulled the dagger out of his shoulder and threw it on the ground.
Vanagarite: Who are you? What right do you have interfering with my battle?
Sekhmet: I am the protector of the Rarest Gem Those who aid it, are always protected. Those that violate it, are punished. Beware, Negaverse General, for I am the Knight protector of Rubies. I am RUBY KNIGHT!
Vanagarite: I'm not impressed. Take this!
Narrator: Vanagarite launched a volley of Dark Energy missiles at Ruby Knight. Ruby Knight leapt out of the way, and began his own attack.
Ruby Knight: Ruby Shard Beams…
Narrator: As he cried this, first one arm, then the other began to glow BRIGHTLY. The energy was crackling in its intensity. Vanagrite laughed at this! "Nothing can penetrate MY shields, however, I can eliminate you" he said, and launched a second volley. Sekhmet smiled a cold smile, and said one word.
Ruby Knight: LAUNCH
Narrator: As he said this, two twin beams launcehed from his arm, blowing apart the energy missiles launched at him, and continuing on streaking towards Vanagrite. The destruction of the missiles was nothing compared to the shock that Vangarite received, as he felt his shields weaken from the beams that were striking him. The worst part was they were barley holding, and he could FEEL the beams POUNDING on his defenses. As he prepared to teleport out, one beam got partially through, slamming him back against a tree, and breaking a number of ribs. As another volley of beams were being readied for launch, Vanagarite opened up a portal.
Vanagarite: You have won this round, Knight. Savor your victory, for the next time we meet, you shall DIE!
Narrator: Sekhmet walked over to where he had laid Mia. He looked at her. She was bruised, and cut in a number of places. If only he could help her, somehow.
Carlyle: You CAN help her, Ruby Knight. Point your ring towards her and say` Revitalize
Narrator: Sekhmet then spun around to confront the voice. A man, who looked to be in his late twenties stood there. he was dressed in a black Knight uniform, and he had greenish black hair. The most striking thing was what he carried: It was a staff shaped like a giant key of sorts.
Ruby Knight: Who are you? Eric asked If you've come to hurt her, I'll...
Carlyle: I am Pluto Knight, the Guardian of Time. I assure you I have not come to hurt you, Ruby Knight.
Narrator: he reached in his Uniform, and pulled out a small crystal. he tossed it to him, and he caught it with ease.
Carlyle: Restore unlocks the crystal (turns to leave) Remember, `Revitalize.
(Carlyle disappears)
Narrator: Sekhmet shrugged his shoulders, and, not knowing what else to do, he pointed his ring hand at Sailor Ruby.
Ruby Knight: Revitalize
Narrator: As he shouted that one little word a beam of bright Red, Orange and Gold energy enveloped Sailor Ruby, instantly closing tears in both Ruby and her costume. She blinked her eyes a few times.
Sailor Ruby: Thank you, whoever you are!
Narrator: As Sekhmet Looked at Mia he decided to try something that he had seen Darien to with Serena. he got to one knee, looked up at her.
Sekhmet: Twas nothing, my princess. it was indeed my pleasure. May this humble servant be of more assistance to milady?
Narrator: Mia looked at him, and then her face went chalk white.
Mia: Sekhmet Is that you?
Narrator: He nodded emphatically. Her response was to cry of joy, as she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him, firmly. When they broke for air, Eric flashed her a grin.
Sekhmet: If that's my reward for rescuing you, I 'll. have to do it more often!
Narrator: She gave him a playful smack, and as they stood up, she noticed the crystal lying on the bench. She inquired as to what it was.
Sekhmet: Some Knight I've never seen before, who called himself Pluto Knight tossed this to me, and told me the way to make to work was to say` restore'. But, I haven't tried it, yet!
Mia: Well, we should try and figure out what it does.
Sekhmet: WHAT!?
Mia: Sekhmet Have I got a story to tell you...
Sekhmet: Oh boy!
Narrator: so they decided to try the crystal.
Sekhmet: Ready?
Mia: Ready as I'll ever be. It won't be dangerous will it?
Narrator: Mia eyed the orange glowing crystal in Sekhmet's other hand.
Sekhmet: What do we have to lose
Mia: How about an arm and a leg?
Sekhmet: Here goes, hold on. Restore!
Narrator: At first, nothing happened. Sekhmet loosened his grip on Mia's hand, about to let go and see what was wrong with the blasted crystal. Without warning, the crystal let out an explosion of energy that bathed the two of them in bright orange light, prohibiting them to see anything but orange. Mia closed her eyes and felt Sekhmet holding her tighter. She put her face against his chest and tried to hide from the light. Eric kept his eyes open, wondering what was happening. He could feel the crystal was no longer in his hand. Instead, he felt like he was flying inside some kind of capsule, flying through time. He had no words to describe this feeling, which was getting him a little nauseated. The orange light died down into a glimmer, then finally disappearing. Mina turned her face and looked around. They were no longer standing in his apartment. They were outside in some sort of closed off gazebo. All around them were tall bushes and bright flowers.
::BACK IN THE SILVER MILLENIUM::
Mia: Shhhh ( Points at two people a little way from them.) They might here us.
Sekhmet: I don't think they can, They probably can't even see us, or else they would think it's weird that we just appeared from nowhere.
Narrator: He was wondering where he got proof of what he just said.
Mia: Let's go listen to what they're saying then. Maybe we can find out where the heck we are.
Narrator: She tugged on Sekhmet sleeve and urged him forward... When they got close enough, Mia stopped dead and gasped.
Mia: That's me!
Narrator: Sekhmet looked and saw that it was. They same auburn hair, the same expressive brown eyes, even the way she carried herself was the same. This person, this other Mia was wearing a light red dress with satin roses as buttons. His eyes moved to the other person who was talking to her. She wore a light green satin dress that hung smoothly like water down her body. He recognized her after a few brief moments. Her tallness, her hair color, her eyes.
Sekhmet:( pointing to the green dressed girl. ) That's Tammy, isn't it?
Mia: Yes, in a way, it is.
Sekhmet: What do you mean in a way?
Mia: I think that's Tammy in the Silver Millenium. We're back in time right now. She's Princess Emerald. That's Princess Ruby.
Narrator: Mia indicated herself from the past. She had no idea how those thoughts got into her head.
Mia: I think it's safe to get close to them. They can't hear or see us.
Narrator: They walked up to them, only a foot from them and they could hear the conversation clearly. It was as if they were ghosts and no one even knew they were there.
Princess Emerald: did he really say that?
Princess Ruby: He didn't actually say it, but he implied it. You know how subtle people are taught to be these days
Princess Emerald: What exactly did he say?
Princess Ruby: He said, Princess Ruby, Mia, I love you and I wish to spend all of eternity with you. To me, you are the sun rising.' and he really meant it!
Princess Emerald: Mia! He's really fallen for you! That a request for marriage if I've ever heard one before.
Princess Ruby:(Blushing) And when have YOU heard one, Tammy? Is there something I don't know about you and you-know-who?
Princess Emerald: Not at all! I wouldn't keep something from you. I will let you know when it does happen. This is not your concern, But I DO believe he is asking your hand in marriage.
Princess Ruby: How would I know for sure? Maybe he is just saying that, and it is not at all what we are taking it for? What if it's just a simple complement, not a question at all?
Princess Emerald: Don't tell me you believe that! Are all of us as blind when it comes to our own loves? I've seen how he looks at you, stealing glances at you when he thinks no one is looking. I've noticed how he always tries to find time for you, and how the two of you exchange looks at each other. It's not as hidden as you expect
Princess Ruby: Is it really that obvious?
Princess Emerald: Not to the point of scandal, but I know when two people love each other
Princess Ruby:
Narrator: Mia wondered who Princess Ruby and Princess Emerald were talking about. Who was this man that they were discussing Ruby's possible marriage to? She hoped and wished with all her heart that it was Sekhmet they were talking about.
Princess Ruby: Naaza is a perfect gentleman. He would not create a scandal.
Princess Emerald: Naaza? So we ARE getting friendly here
Princess Ruby: Ruby Knight My mistake.
Princess Emerald: No, it's custom to call the Knights by their given name if by chance, you are past the formal stages. Ancient forbid the public to know what I call Rajura.
Princess Ruby: Oh? A little nickname perhaps?
Princess Emerald: I will be late if I don't leave right now.
Princess Ruby: Going so soon?
Princess Emerald: "Yes, I have to go to my room and Prepare for the royal banquet our father is holding again. I wish I could stay longer, but you know how inappropriate is to be late."
Princess Ruby: Okay, goodbye see you tonight.. Tell Emerald Knight I said hi.
Princess Emerald: Yes, I will. I hope everything goes the way you want with Ruby Knight, although I can predict.
Sekhmet: Another Ruby Knight?"
Mia: But you're Ruby Knight. There has got to be a mistake,"
Princess Ruby: Who's there?
Ruby Knight: Hello, Princess
Princess Ruby: Naaza!
Mia: Sekhmet? That's you
Sekhmet: It's me, I'm Naaza.
Ruby Knight: Have you decided?
Princess Ruby: Decided what?
Ruby Knight: Princess Ruby, Mia, what I said was true and from the heart. I want to spend all of eternity with you. If not my whole life. Would you feel the same with me?"
Narrator: Suddenly, the bright light erupted around them again, but this time disappeared after a few seconds. Mia looked around confused, wondering what just happened. Her first thought was that a bomb had dropped on them, but she did not feel any pain.
Sekhmet: What the?
Narrator, Mia and Sekhmet and Mia of the past and Naaza: They weren't out in the garden, they weren't in The warlord's lounge. No, they were standing in a large room, filled with a number of people. Strangely, Mia couldn't recognize any of them. She could hardly see
their faces. It was like when she watched some cop show and the faces were blurred to protect the innocent. She couldn't even identify anyone. "Why can't we see anyone's faces?" Mia asked Sekhmet. "I don't know. It's blurry.", squinting as if it might help. A conversation drifted to Mia's ears... "Do you have to leave?" "I must. It's my duty." Mia took Sekhmet 's hand and pulled him with her toward the voices. "Listen, do you hear them?" She asked. Sekhmet was puzzled. All he could hear was the drone of fifty or so voices all muddled together. He and Mia stopped infront of a couple, who surprisingly, they could see. He saw that it was Naaza and Mia. Or more specifically, Princess Ruby and Ruby Knight. Princess Ruby had tears flowing down her cheeks and her eyes were red from crying. She was holding tightly on Ruby Knight's hand, afraid to let him go. "Will you come back?" Princess Ruby asked, choking back a sob. "I can't guarantee it, so I won't give you false hope." Ruby Knight said sadly. He stroked back a lock of her Auburn hair that fell to her face. "I-I-I'm going to miss you," Princess Ruby stuttered,wiping the tears. "I'll miss you more than I can say. But we will be together again one day. I'll make sure we will." Princess Ruby replied sullenly, "Don't make promises you can't keep." "I'll keep this one, I promise." Ruby Knight vowed and took both her hands in his. "Be careful out there. Remember, being a hero doesn't mean standing up and being an easy target. Heroes too, have to run sometimes." Princess Ruby said. "I'll remember that and I'll always remember your smile." Ruby Knight said, forcing a smile out of himself. Princess Ruby smiled for him, through tear streaked eyes, she returned his smile. "I just wish, that I knew what your answer was." Ruby Knight said softly, looking carefully at her. "It was 'yes'," Princess Ruby said and gave him a long kiss, "But unfortunately, it won't come true." "Unfortunately," Ruby Knight repeated sadly.
