Chapter 5 - "The Warriors Emerge"
"Who are you?!?!" Princess Serenity demanded, seeing the two people with fire red hair. "Why did you bring me here?!?!"
"Questions, questions," The man said. "You'll find out in due time. But first, we have to turn you to the dark side."
"Don't waste your time or energy," Princess Serenity began. "It will never work. I can't be turned even if you tried. You'd end up killing me before I was turned."
"I'm sure there is a way," The man said. "Even if I have to force you."
"I will not!" Princess Serenity cried, pulling on the chains that held her hands in place.
"Let's get down to business, shall we, Princess?" The man said, scratching his chin. "Where's the Silver Crystal?!?!"
"Somewhere where you will never be able to get." Princess Serenity said, not showing one ounce of fear.
"Give it to me now, or you will die now!" He shouted.
"Kill me if you like, but I'm the only one that can get the crystal!" Serenity barked, her eyes narrowing on him.
"Such beauty, it's a shame I'll have to kill you now," The man said. "And we were just getting to know each other."
"You won't kill me," Princess Serenity said, a smirk spread across her lips. "You can't yet. You need me. You need me to tell you where the crystal is. Am I right?" A low growl escaped the back of his throat. His dark eyes flared up, red in the low light.
"Where is it?!?!?!" He demanded, his temper going fast.
"Calm yourself," A woman's voice said. "You can't kill her yet. All in due time."
The pilots…
"Duo, you are the Prince of Earth, Heero, you are the Prince of Mars, Quatre, the Prince of Venus, Wufei, you are the Prince of Jupiter, and Trowa is the Prince of Mercury." The cat said.
"Yeah right." Heero said, his monotone voice breaking into the conversation.
"It's true," The cat insisted. "I am the Princess's guardian cat, you five are her court and swore to protect her so long ago in Crystal Tokyo," The cat sat firmly on the floor, looking up at the five young men. "I see that you don't believe me, so I'm going to have to prove it to you." The cat said. The crescent moon on the cat's forehead began to glow brightly. A beam shot from the cat's moon into the forehead of each of the young men. A symbol appeared in each of their foreheads of their respectable planets (only the circles weren't heart-shaped).
Duo's mouth dropped open as he remembered his Usagi, tenshi, as he always called her. He remembered their walks together, where they hid in the back of the courtyard under a huge weeping willow, just watching the Earth together. Each of the other four boys had similar looks on their faces. Trowa, Wufei, and Heero pushed the thought from the mind. They stayed composed, they didn't want to show any emotion.
"Are you going to save Usagi?" The cat asked, looking up expectantly at the five young men.
"You can count me in," Duo said, his normal carefree look returning. "Besides, I think I'd like to keep that girl around."
"What about the rest of you?" The cat asked, looking in their direction. None said anything.
"I'm in." Quatre said, joining Duo behind the feline. Rileena stared in shock at the strange events happening. A strange talking cat with a crescent moon on her forehead just shot a beam into all the Gundam pilot's forehead. What was she supposed to think?
"Why should I go save that weak woman?" Wufei gruffed. He turned his back, crossing his arms over his chest. Trowa walked over, not saying a word, and stood behind the cat with Duo and Quatre.
"What about you Heero?" Duo asked, looking at the boy with his normal carefree expression. He didn't want them to think he was worried about Usagi. Heero walked over to Rileena, looking into her eyes, then followed the other three and went behind the cat.
"You're not going to help us Wufei?" The cat asked. He looked over his shoulder, then mumbling something about a weak pathetic woman and took his place next to the other four pilots.
"This is too weird for me. Why should I believe this?!?" Rileena was reduced to hysterics. "I must be going crazy, first, that cat is talking. Now she says that the gundam pilots are princes. This is all too weird for me."
"Calm down Rileena," Heero said calmly. "I'll explain later." The cat did something that no one expected. She did a back flip and five small orbs appeared in each of their hands. Each orbs had the symbol of a planet and each were the color of the planet they represented.
"All you need to do is close your eyes and call forth the power you need," The cat said. "Now, you must go save the princess."
"Lets go guys!" Duo cried, closing his hand around the strange orb. A moment later, a strange thing happened. A white light surrounded him and when it died down, he stood there wearing a set of armor. There was a scythe (the weapon from the DeathScythe) at his side and a cape cascaded down his back to the floor.
"This is getting really weird." Quatre commented, taking the gift that floated in front of him. As he closed his fist around it, an orange light engulfed him. He reappeared wearing orange armor with a yellow cape and two curvy bladed weapons [A.N. they look like Sandrock's weapons].
Heero took his next, red light engulfing him. A moment later, he reappeared, holding a long sword with an energy blade. He wore red armor with a black cape down his back. "...." He looked at the sword, the light of the blade making his face glow.
Trowa's finges closed around the gift and a blue light shot out from him, forming a similar set of armor except it was blue with a deep blue cape down his back. He had a long staff in his hand with a blade on the top. [A.N. I know he uses guns in his Gundam, but since they were alive like 1000 years before, they didn't have the same weapons, it'd be hard for him to carry a bunch of guns pretty much].
Wufei took the item, still mumbling about the weak woman they were going to save. A green light engulfed him, forming a set of green armor with a deep green cape down his back. He had a trident looking thing in his hand [A.N. the weapon from his gundam].
"We'd better get goin guys. If we wanna save Usagi." Duo said, holding his weapon tighly.
"What about me?!?" Rileena demanded. "I'm not about to stay here while all of you rush off to save my best friend!!" She shouted angrily.
"It's too dangerous, Princess Rileena." Quatre said as the group prepared to be on their way.
"There has to be something I can do." Rileena said, sitting down at the table.
"You have to stay here. We'll be back before you know it," Duo reassured. "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Usagi."
"Guys, how exactly will we get there?" Heero asked.
"Uhh..." Duo said, not having a clue as to what to do.
