*****************************************************************************
They were still laughing as they pulled up to the temple. Serena had finally agreed to let Travis tell them all about how he had gotten his sister in trouble.
They quickly got out of the car, and began their walk up the steps towards the temple where everyone else was heading so they could all catch up and hear about what had happened to Serena in America, and to eventually reunite Lee and Hudson together.
Serena and Darien walked into the temple engrossed in conversation with Hudson and Travis, they never even noticed Lee staring at Serena intently.
Zoicite noticed the looks that his friend was giving Serena, he walked over to Lee and started to talk to him about his sudden 'fascination' with Serena.
" Hey Lee whats going on? Do you mind if I ask you why are you watching Serenas every move? "
Lee looked at Zoicite and suddenly snapped out of his thoughts. " I..I don't know. I just feel like I want to reach out to her and protect her. Is that weird or what? " Lee sounded worried as he asked his friend the last part.
Zoicite shook his head and thought to himself that bringing Lee here might have been bad, especially since it is so obvious that he was in 'love' with Serena. Zodiac could feel the tension in the air surrounding Lee and Zoicite. He began to pull frantically against the leash that Lee had him on. Finally a hard tug from Zodiac freed him from the restraint device.
Lee was so lost in thought that he didn't realize that Zodiac was fighting the leash, but when he felt Zodiac break free his reflexes amazed him. Lee reached down and grabbed Zodiacs collar and yelled at everyone to not move.
" Stay where you are and don't make any sudden movements." Zodiac and the rest of the group looked at Lee and Zodiac was very hurt at the fact that Lee would actually think he would hurt any of his ' old ' friends.
Luna and Artemis walked over to Zodiac and immediatly began to rub against his legs, Zodiac in return began to lick their fur and nuzzle his nose to theirs. Lee was so confused he couldn't understand what had come over Zodiac.
Serena walked over to Lee and slowly removed his hand from Zodiacs collar, Zodiac made no attempt to move, he just sat down at Lees feet with Luna and Artemis on either side of him.
Setsuna walked up behind Hudson and Travis, and they began to speak in hushed tones. Darien quickly joined them. " Well should I go ahead and tell him, It is obvious he has no idea. " Setsuna spoke first. Darien agreed and shook his head looking at Travis. " Well if that is the only other option then do what you must do. " Hudson looked down at her hands trying to hold back her tears. She looked up at them with tears threating to fall from her beautiful jade green eyes. " Hey Hudson if you don't want me to tell him then I.." Hudson quickly cut off Setsuna when she spoke. " No it's ok Setsuna do what needs to be done. " Hudson then walked off and sat on the floor near Jedite.
" Pretty hard to handle huh? " Jedite asked as he put his arm around Hudson and let her cry to him. Rei joined them, and tried to comfort her. " Hudson
Lee loved you with all of his heart in the Moon Kingdom and he will remember that love once again. I promise." Hudson buried her head in Jedites chest, and cried.
Zoicite left the group, and walked over to Jedite and Rei, and the girl he thought was Mina. " Hey guys whats going on? Why is everyone acting so strange towards Lee? Would it be better if I take him to a hotel? " Rei jumped up and quickly let Zoicite know who Lee was to them all. " Zoicite we can't allinate Lee, he is one of us. He is the knight that Amy told you about. He is Celestrial Knight. He was the sworn protector of the Moon Kingdom, and the knight of the universe. He has an attack that when combined with Princess Serenity, Prince Darien, and Prince Travis could destroy a whole universe, If they willed it that way. " Rei paused long enough for Zoicite to take it all in. He nodded his head for her to continue. " See Serena holds the Imperium Silver Crystal, while Darien is the keeper of the Heavenly Imperium Crystal, Travis is the holder of the Sun Imperium Crystal, and then that brings us to Lee the keeper of the Universal Imperium Crystal. Once all four of these crystals are united and the scouts and generals all come together we basically become invincible. There is only one draw back. All the crystal keepers are male, with the exception of Serena. Well that makes her the weakest, cause she can bear children, so that means that if the evil they fight wills to, it can hide in Serena. Thus doing so will turn the attack against her. It is a long and drawn out situation, but it can happen. Just ask Amy more about it and she will tell you I am sure of it. " Rei finished explaining everything as best as she could, and waited for Zoicites response. Zoicite stood amoung his friends shocked, " I never knew, I mean he's been my roomate for almost a year and well..I never knew. " Hudson looked up at Zoicite, " Listen I doubt you remeber me, but I was there in the time known as the Silver Millenium, and well I was really close to the scouts, especially Princess Serenity. You see Zoicite if you remembered Lee, and I then you would also know that we were deeply in love and well it seems that he has no memory of that life or love we once shared." Hudson began to fiddle with her necklace that she was holding tightly.
Zoicite was so lost for words that he turned to leave when a disturbance in the air stopped him, he glanced at Rei and Jedite. Jedite and Rei jumped up with Hudson was close behind. They quickly tried to make their way to Serena and Lee, but were blocked when a black mist began to fill the room. Darien and the rest of the group were stopped in their tracks as well and watched as a man in a black cloak, with long black hair stepped out of a portal followed by two other dark hooded figures. They stood in the room and looked at everyone, then finally the leader of the group spoke. " Well, well, well Mr. Black looks like we meet again? " Lee instinctivly pushed Serena behind him and Zodiac. He stepped forward to meet the gaze of the sinister man who stood before him.
Darien, Jedite, and Malachite all lunged for the man, but were shot back into the wall of the temple by a powerful blast of energy. Rei, Hudson and Mina quickly ran to the fallen prince and his generals. Serena was so stunned by the proceedings, but was quickly shaken free when she saw Darien and her friends thrown across the room that she tried to run towards Darien but found that the mist was like a barrier that she could not penetrate. Serena began to bang her fists on the translucent wall that was becoming more and more visible with every breath. " Awe come on princess, that is no way to greet an old friend now is it? " The man said as he walked towards Serena. Serena closed her eyes as the man reached out to touch her face, but the feel of his hand never came. Serena opened her eyes and looked up to see Lee holding the mans wrist back away from Serena.
Setsuna was observing all of this from her spot. She walked over to Darien and the others and began to speak in a hushed tone. " Listen up guys, Lee, is getting his memories back." She looked back at Lee and felt a pang of sadness at not being able to help him. She looked down at the ground and felt the tears trying to fall ,but she quickly pushed them back. Darien reached out and took her hand and spoke softly. " Setsuna is there something you're not telling us? " Setsuna looked up and wiped the unshed tears from her eyes. She managed a tight whisper from her mouth as she spoke. " Yes...I should've told you all sooner, but.. well...Lee is the only family I have left. He is my....cousin. I never told anyone cause I never knew if I would ever see him again. He like me has an attack that deals with time. See if I stop time I will be punished, but Lee can stop time, turn back time, and change time all of free will, and noone can stop him. That is one of his many abilities. I just don't want to see him hurt." Setsuna began to cry as Hudson leaned over and hugged her tightly. " Well is there anyway we can break through that barrier? " Darien asked with a horrid look in his eyes. Setsuna shook her head sadly and cried harder as she looked on at Serena and Lee trapped in the mystical prison with the intruders.
Lee held the mans arm away from Serena, and felt nothing but rage encase him as he watched the stranger smile at him, and Serena. " Now now Lee, is that anyway to treat an old friend? " He asked as Serena quickly moved back next to Lee. Zodiac came up to stand beside Serena and growled at the man. " Awe Lee I see you still have your pet mutt." Zodiac was becomong more and more angry as the man continued to taunt him, but calmed when Serena placed her hand upon his head, and pet him softly. " Listen I don't know what you want, but I am sure that she is not it ! " Lee said as he looked back at Serena before directing his attention back to the stranger. " Oh come on Lee, don't tell me you forgot who I am? You should remember me, your mutt there gave me this scar on my face over a thousand years ago. " Lee was shocked at what the man said that he let his hand free from the strangers wrist. " W..what do you mean? " Lee stuttered as he stepped back stunned, then as soon as he said those words he looked at Serena and was overcome with all these memories of a past life in which him and Serena were very close, and Darien and her were engaged to be married. He also remembered a huge castle, and a beautiful young girl who was friends and a protector of Serena. Lee looked around the room and felt light headed as his eyes fell upon Hudson. Then as if struck by lighting he rememberd everything. Lee turned back to the man in front of him, and began to laugh manically. " Oh yes, Earnos, I remember you, and well as for what Zodiac did to you, well that was between you two. " Lee turned back to Zodiac who was stunned to see his master regain all of his memories. " Well Earnos, if I remember correctly you and I dueled and I won your shield." Lee remarked with a smirk on his face. Earnos stood back, and laughed at Lee. " Well Lee I have not come back for my shield. I am simply here to remind you that you and I had unfinished buisness, and this time you and your pathetic friends and mutt will not when. See this time, I will manage to capture all the souls on this pathetic planet, and I will have Princess Serenity's soul this time. " Earnos stepped closer towards Serena and spoke softly. " Yes princess, your soul will be mine." He was about to reach out to her when Zodiac jumped at him and bit his arm. Zodiac was so enraged that Lee wasn't able to pull him off. Earnos shot a blast of energy at Zodiac who moved quickly out of the way and watched as Earnos shot one of his own minions. " Well, Earnos looks to me like you still suck. Can't you do any better than that? " Zodiac remarked as he looked at Earnos. Earnos was so mad that he stood up quickly, and dissapered into another portal, while giving them all a warning of what is to come. " I will be back..... you can count on that..... " Lee looked at the spot where Earnos once stood, and then walked over to Serena. He pulled her to him and gave her a big hug, before kneeling on one knee, and bowing to his princess. Serena stood there as Lee kneeled before her, but quickly made him stand. " Listen Lee that was a long time ago. You don't need to bow to me anymore. " Lee stood up and encased her in another hug, and then turned towards all of his old friends, and his eyes fell upon two people...Setsuna, and Hudson.
Darien rushed over to Serena and hugged her tightly and soothing her with his own words. " Serena, are you alright? I would die if anything happend to you, I love you Serena you are my whole world, and life. Without you I am nothing. " With that Darien encased her lips with his own and showed no mercy as he let all his love and passion pour out into the kiss. Serena gasped at the intensity of the kiss, but quickly gave her heart and soul to the young man kissing her.
Lee moved through the crowd to the lone female in the back. Once he reached her he gave her a hug, and cried. " Setsuna, I never thought I would ever see you again. " Lee and Setsuna cried and laughed until Setsuna pointed out one more person waiting for Lees attention. Lee turned around and saw Hudson standing there amoung Jedite and Rei. Lee walked over to her, and hugged her. He held her tightly as she held onto him like they would never touch again. When Lee pulled back to look at her, she handed him the necklace she had been holding onto for so long. Lee took the necklace and studied it. He noticed the tiny penant with a tiny sun, and star on it. He remebered the day he gave it to her. The last time they saw each other on the Moon Kingdom before it was destroyed. Lee hugged the tiny pendant and cried into her hair, as she hugged him back. " I..I have missed you Lee. I never stopped looking for you, and I pryaed that you would come back to me again." Lee looked into Hudsons eyes, and kissed away the tears that were trying to fall. " I love you Hudson, and nothing will ever change that not even a thousand years. " Hudson threw her arms around Lee and hugged him before he pulled her away to kiss her fully on the lips. Off in the distance another couple were watching over the couple and smiling at the thought of the two lovers being reunited.
Travis joined his sister and Darien and watched on happily as the couple rejoiced in there long lost and new found love. Zodiac walked over towards Serena and sat down in front of her. " I am so happy that Lee is back. I have missed his and your fights. " He said with a sly smile on his face. Serena looked at Zodiac with a confused manner. Luna, Artemis, and the others joined Serena and Darien to hear the story that they were sure would be coming soon. Luna looked at Artemis, and then back at Zodiac. " Well who is going to tell them?" Lee, Hudson and Setsuna were now with them and Lee was curious about what the three guardians had to say. " Well is somebody going to tell us? " Lee asked as he gave Serena a wink causing her to giggle. Zodiac stood and looked at Luna well you go first." Luna nodded her head and jumped on Zodiacs back for better access. " Well Serena you know how you have this major obsession for chocolate?" " Serena nodded her head and was more confused than ever. Then Zodiac looked at Lee and asked him the same question. Lee too nodded his head in agreement to his obsession about chocolate. Zodiac was about to continue when they heard a heavenly voice speaking to them all to stop there conversation. The group of people and animals all turned to see a beautiful woman standing before them in a long silvery white dress, and silver hair in the same hairstyle that Serena wore hers. Serena and Travis recognized the woman right away. " Oh my gods...mother." Serena said as she, and Travis walked towards the woman. " Yes Serena I am your mother Queen Serenity, and yours to Travis, and well I need to tell you all about Earnos." Serena, Travis and the others all sat down and listened as the queen told them all about Earnos and his minions. " He was a very powerful man in the days of the Silever Millenium, and at one point in time he was an advisary to us. Then one day he asked me to marry him, and I said no. For I did not love him. He then turned on us, he felt that he was better suit to rule the universe, instead of me. I was heartbroken, he was one of my dearest friends. Soon after that he had built an empire out in the nether regions of the universe, and he came up with this machine that could rip a persons soul right out of them. He was about to join forces with Beryl, and Metallia, when the scouts and generals, and of course Lee, and Zodiac attacked him. He easily tore through the scouts and generals like nothing, but Lee, or should I say Celestrial Knight and Zodiac were to powerful for him to handle. Now he wasn't killed just merely thrown to the nether regions with no powers. " Queen Serenity stopped and let the information sink in. " Well mother what can we do now, I mean how is it possible that he could have come back? " Queen Serenity looked at her children and shook her head. " I don't know, all I know is that he is far more pawerful than before, and he will not be as easily destroyed. So please be careful, and take care of each other. " With that the queen was about to leave when she stopped in her tracks. " Oh yes and about the chocolate thing. Well it seems that back in the days Serenity and Lee were ALWAYS fighting over chocolate. I don't mean little petty arguing either Serenity, you were a lady, and Lee was sworn to protect you. But there were times I thought you two were going to kill for the last piece of chocolate, and anyone who dared to interfere." With that Queen Serenity bid her children and friends farewell, and was gone. Serena and Lee both looked at each other and laughed as they began to remember their times on the moon and there childish fighting. With that the group sat down to have their discussion.
