Summary: The way the Stars Season should have happened.
@@@The Explanation@@@
*****Mamoru's POV*****
The darkness is so overpowering. I felt its' power when I scanned, but everything is ten times
clearer with a seeking spell. I can't believe I never noticed it before. I, who am supposed to
watch over and protect the Earth and all on it. And Usako. If Mars hadn't sent Rei that vision...I
don't even want to think about what could have happened. I slowly pull myself out of the spell-
induced trance, needing to find out what Rei was told by Mars. When I open my eyes, the first
thing I see is Usako. She has fear in her eyes. How I hate to see her like that, even though I
know she has good reason to be afraid. I reach up from my position on the floor and take her
hand, favoring her with a comforting smile.
*****Usagi's POV*****
He opens his eyes, reaches up and takes my hand, smiling for me. I smile back, trying to reasure
him of my stability. "Well," announced Rei, "I think it's past time we called the others. I don't
want to have to say everything more than once." I nod and send a mental call of emergency to all
the Senshi, along with Luna and Artemis. Within 30 minutes all the Senshi have arrived. Silence
drapes them all, waiting for the news. All showing slight surprise that Mamoru is still here.
"It seems that our battle with evil is not over yet." states Rei simply as she stands to address them
all. "When has it ever been?" Mumbled Makoto sarcastically. Rei ignored her. "Earlier today,
right before Mamoru was scheduled to leave, Mars sent a message to me."
"Through the Great Fire?" inquired Ami, always looking for details.
"No actually. I was overcome by sleep, and he came to me in a dream. Though his news made it
seem more like a nightmare. Predictions of death, horror, and catastrophe filled his message.
They will be produced by one who was one of us, who has been overtaken by greed and evil. The
Golden Senshi. It will not be one of us ten, nor Chibi Usa, obviously. There are other Senshi
living in the Cosmos. Pluto, you know of a few of them, having been both the Senshi of Time,
and the Senshi on the outermost rim." Everyone in the room looked horrified. I shrank into
Mamo-chan's arms, silently asking for comfort. He of course answered my call, pulling me into
his lap and cocooning me in his arms. I laid my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes. Why did
this have to happen? The only silver lining to this black cloud that I can see is that Mamoru is still
here with me, and won't be leaving. I open my eyes, as Rei begins to speak again.
"As I told Mamoru earlier at the airport, if he had gotten on that plane, all of us would have died.
He would have been taken back to the Golden-Senshi-turned-Black's realm. Usagi would have
been incredibly weakened." Rei turned to face Mamoru and me. "Mars told me that he has made
it to where Chibi Usa is stuck in the future permanently. None of us will see her again until she is
born. This way, we do not have to worry about her." I went limp in Mamo-chan's arms. I
hadn't even thought of Chibi Usa trying to come back and help. I'm so glad that she is safe. I am
not depressed with the thought of not seeing her again until I truly get pregnant and give birth to
her though. I realized long ago that until I truly was her mother, she would not listen to me. Rei
began again to speak.
"Mars says that we need to increase our training ten-fold. We all need to be stronger. Ami," she
said, turning to the blue-haired genius, "I want you to find us a location we can transport to that
is far away from all witness and life." She turned to Mina. "Mina, I want you to draw up the
training plans and set the pace. You are the leader of the Senshi that protects the Princess. I
want you to feel like it." Mina blushed, nodding furiously. "Makoto, I want you to get a hold of
some weight-training and muscle-building equipment. All of us need to be able to fight in hand-
to-hand combat in case our powers fail us. Haruka, same goes for you. Michiru, I want you, and
Hotaru to keep an eye on the outer rims of this Solar System. Report any activity whatsoever to
either me or Mina. The smallest thing could be the beginning. Setsuna, I want you to find out as
much as you can about any other Senshi that exists, from any outlet possible. Ami, I suggest you
help her when you find the right training area. Mamoru, I want you to stick to Usagi like glue."
As she said this Rei's eyes burned with a fierce purple flame. "Usagi, I want you to see if your
parents would let you stay somewhere else for about two weeks for now. Do you have caller ID
at your house?" she asked abruptly. I shake my head slowly, seeing no point to her question.
"Wonderful, then tell them you'll call them every night, because I want you to stay with Mamoru
at his apartment." As everyone began to protest, well everyone but me and Mamoru, Rei raised
her arms, calling for silence. "I know what you're all thinking, but this is THE BEST option for
her, for all of us. This way she will be under constant protection. Luna, you can go with her." I
slumped back into Mamoru's arms, having been sitting forward listening with rapt attention.
Luna must have sensed my unhappiness at the idea of her chaperoning me at 17 years old, because
she spoke up. "No Rei, that quite alright. I'll work with Ami and Setsuna. I'll be much more
useful that way." Rei only raised her eyebrows, nodding her head in agreement. "Okay everyone,
you all have your assignments. I'll be keeping an eye on the Great Fire, and taking anymore
messages from Mars. You can all go home now. Usagi, try to get to Mamoru's tonight. Now
that I have a lock on that dark energy, I can feel it very slowly growing. I want you to be
protected tonight. If worst comes to worst, use that spell we worked on a few days ago." I
nodded solemnly, bursting inside with happiness. No matter for how short a time, Mamo-chan
and I would finally have some private time alone. "Oh, one more thing!" called Rei. "Any
supplies you'll be bringing, I want you to put it in the Great Fire's storage room. I cleaned the
wood out of it, so it's ready for our use. Goodnight everybody, and good luck." I looked up at
Mamoru, trying to decide what he's thinking. I hope he's okay with this. His eyes connect with
mine, the love in them instantly tells me he is very happy with the idea of me staying with him.
Now all I have to contend with is my parents. Good Lord, what will it take to convince them?
Is it good minna? Tell me in a review what you think. ^_^ Ja ne!
