Nevlin was sad for he had lost a great friend; the women he loved. He felt bad for what he did. He was so obedient. Aya was right. He was an obedient bastard. How he wished he wasn't so cowardly when it came to taking orders. Nevlin walked to the window in his room. It overlooked the training field where he used to watch Aya practice.
"I can't let this go on. There's something I have to do." Nevlin said, thinking of what to do.
"Nevlin!" Carla called.
"Hai. General!" Nevlin responded.
"It's time to do your job!"
"Hai! On my way." Well, he would have to figure something out later. It was time to do his job, and pretend he was not up to something. Nevlin teleported to a lake in a quiet part of the park. He loved water. The pond was outlined with blue lilies. He stood on the water.
*Ok, now to connect with one of their minds. * He had no trouble connecting to one of the outer's minds. She had something in common with Nevlin. Water. They were related through water.
*Well, I see you have something in common with me. You won't for long. I'm someplace where blue lilies grow and your deity flows. * Nevlin smiled and knew it wouldn't be long before they showed up.
Michiru jumped as something startled her.
"Nani onai? Dijoubu?" Haruka asked concerned.
"There was a voice in my head. He said that I had something in common with him, but not for long. He would wait where blue lilies grow and my deity flows."
"Well, your deity is water, so it has to be a lake or a pond, but where's a body of water with blue lilies?" Setsuna asked.
"The park has a pond with blue lilies around it. Chibiusa and I go there for our picnics on Saturday." Hotaru said.
"Good! Let's go!" Haruka said. The four transformed and headed off towards the park. Nevlin was standing on the water when the four outers walked up to the lake.
"Ah, great to see you could find me. Ready to have some fun?" Nevlin said as he unleashed his attack, "Water Blast!"
"DEEP SUBMERGE!" Neptune called out. The two attacks hit in the middle and dissipated each other.
"Ah, I see your attack is like mine, water and water don't work!" Nevlin laughed. A voice came from behind Nevlin.
"Well, how about this? SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE!" A lightning bolt struck Nevlin in the back. He shuddered slightly from the impact, but his twitching soon subsided as it was not strong enough to cause any real damage.
"Good try, but you'll have to o better than that!" Nevlin said. Jupiter stepped out from behind a tree, "Nani? Where's the rest of your gang?"
"They don't need to be involved. This is between the strongest senshi." Jupiter said.
"Then why are you here? These four are the one's we want." Nevlin said while manipulating Jupiter's mind, "Now. Kill them!" Nevlin said as he disappeared into a portal, and Jupiter turned to face the outers.
"Prepare to die!" Jupiter yelled, "OAK EVOLUTION!" The outers jumped and escaped the attack but were confused as to what to do.
"We just can't hit her." Pluto said.
"Well, we can't just sit here!" Uranus yelled, "WORLD SHAKING!" The attack hit Jupiter full force and knocked her out. Uranus picked up Jupiter and they walked to a safe place where no one would see them. Jupiter was detransforming, and fast. The four detransformed and took her back to Haruka and Michiru's house. When they got home, Haruka took Makoto up to their room. Michiru didn't mind that because Makoto needed it more now then they did.
"Be careful Haruka." Michiru said as Haruka placed Makoto down on the bed.
"Dijoubu, I won't hurt her." Haruka smiled as she placed Makoto down, "I know what I'm doing." Michiru just covered her up and Setsuna said she'd stay with her. Michiru took Hotaru to bed since it was getting late, while Haruka stayed with Setsuna.
"Did you have to hit so hard?"
"Well, what did you expect me to do? Just stand there? She may be an inner, but she is strong. If she would've attacked, who knows what could've happened."
"She's right Setsuna." Michiru said from the doorway, "Don't underestimate Makoto."
"I don't but we could've killed her." Setsuna said.
"Onegai, stop arguing." Makoto said opening her eyes, "What happened?"
"You were controlled by Nevlin and we had to attack you so you didn't hurt someone." Haruka said. Makoto looked up at Haruka, pain in her eyes.
"I…tried t…to…kill you?" Tears welling up in her eyes.
"Makoto, It's not your fault! Nevlin was controlling your mind. You couldn't control yourself." Michiru consoled.
"That doesn't justify what I did. I could've killed you guys!" Makoto said crying tremendously now. Makoto had been sitting up and now collapsed into Haruka's arms. All Haruka could do was hold her and try to calm her down.
The four inners and the two cats were at Rei's temple, when they noticed Makoto was gone.
"Hey guys, where's Mako-chan?" Usagi said.
"Yea, where is she?" Minako questioned looking around. At that time, the girls' communicators beeped.
"Mako-chan?" Usagi asked.
"Iie." A voice said on the communicator. It was Michiru.
"Michiru-san?" Ami asked.
"Hai, Makoto is here with us." She said in an expressionless voice.
"Is she alright Michiru-san?" Ami asked concerned.
"For now. She's safe. Don't come looking for her." Michiru said as she shut the communicator, "They know she's with us."
"Ok. She's staying with us for a while." Haruka said. Michiru nodded her head in agreement. Makoto had fallen asleep.
Everyone had fallen asleep due to a long, tiring day. It was a flash of light in the sky that woke Hotaru up.
"Nani?" Hotaru wondered. She put on a light robe and went to investigate the strange light. She walked down the street and went into the park. As she got closer to the lake where they had fought Nevlin earlier, she saw something, rather someone floating in the water. Hotaru rushed to the lake and found a beautiful young girl with an almost iridescent color hair and no clothes. Hotaru pulled the girl out of the water and put her robe on her. She somehow found the strength in her frail body to lift the girl on her back and took her home. She took the girl to her room and put the blankets over the girl's shivering body. Hotaru used her healing powers and restored life into the strange girl. She looked to be a little younger than Haruka and Michiru, but older than her and the inners. Hotaru just stared at the girl who was peacefully sleeping. She had this aura about her, like she was important. Hotaru stayed in the chair next to the mysterious girl and eventually fell asleep. The sun rose and rays of light shown through the curtains, lighting up the girl's face. She moved slightly and wrinkled her face like she was in pain. Haruka and Michiru were sleeping peacefully, when a loud scream startled them. They ran to Hotaru's room, where the scream came from.
"Hotaru!?" Michiru yelled panicked.
The girl was against the wall, holding the covers to her chin, trying to figure out whose these people were.
"Hotaru-hime? Who's that?" Haruka asked confused.
"Haruka-papa, I saw a flash of light last night and went to see what it was. I found her floating in the pond and brought her home and healed her. She has the aura of someone, important." Hotaru explained. Setsuna stared at the mysterious girl. She was right; she did feel important, but how? Hotaru went up to the frightened girl.
"Konnichiwa, watashi wa Hotaru. What's your name?"
"P-Prism. Where am I?"
"You're in Tokyo." Michiru said. Prism looked at her, "Gommen, my name is Michiru, and this blonde here" points to Haruka "Is Haruka." Prism stared at them, then turned to Setsuna.
"You're…you're…her!" Prism said eyes widening. She couldn't remember anything except her name and Setsuna's face. Setsuna just stared at Prism.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Setsuna said.
"Where's your outfit, staff and keys?" Prism asked confused. This struck Setsuna hard.
*How'd she know my true identity?* Michiru and Haruka looked at her.
*How does she know you're Pluto?*
*I don't know Michiru, I've never seen her before.*
*Then how does she know YOU!*
*I SAID I DON'T KNOW HARUKA!*
Prism looked at Setsuna and the others. She knew they were communicating telepathically. She knew Pluto could do that.
"Hey! I know you're talking about me!" Prism glared at Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna.
"Nani?" Haruka said.
"We need to have a talk." Setsuna said. The five women went into the living room. Since they were up, Michiru thought she might as well make tea.
"Prism, would you like some tea?" Michiru asked politely.
"Hai. Arigatou." Prism said.
Michiru smiled. She made the tea and came into the living room.
"Now, we have to talk." Setsuna said in her usual tone.
"Hai, where are you from?" Haruka asked first.
"I-I don't know. All I know is my name and her." Prism said pointing at Setsuna, "The only reason I'm confused is why you aren't wearing your outfit…um…hmm…I've forgotten your name…P…Pl…PLUTO!" Prism said triumphantly. This shocked the outers even more.
"I'm terribly sorry…I don't know what you're talking about." Setsuna said.
"Don't play coy with me, I've seen evidence today to prove otherwise."
"Nani?" Haruka said.
"Simple, I was healed…"
"Um…that was me…" Hotaru said.
"Oh, well, you three were talking telepathically and Pluto could do that, and you look exactly like her."
"How would you know this?" Michiru asked.
"I don't know. I barely remember what I do, but it's slowly coming back to me. I know, I lived in a place called…" Prism closed her eyes and strained, "Crystal Tokyo, I think."
Michiru, Haruka, Setsuna, and Hotaru's jaws dropped.
"Crystal…"
"Tokyo?" Michiru said and Haruka finished. "Hai…why, do you guys know of it? I know there are others like Pluto also. They all protect the royal family." Prism said.
Makoto walked downstairs where she heard talking. She could barely see due to the heaviness of her eyelids, "And I think Jupiter is the strongest out of the inners." Prism continued…Makoto was wide awake, and staring. She looked towards Haruka.
"She knows about Pluto…" Haruka said sending eye signals about 'that's all though.'
"Do you know Pluto?" Prism asked.
"We might as well…" Setsuna started.
"Show her…" Makoto finished. Everyone looked at Makoto. She was the first one to transform.
"JUPITER STAR POWER!"
"URANUS PLANET POWER!"
"NEPTUNE PLANET POWER!"
SATURN PLANET POWER!"
PLUTO PLANET POWER!"
"MAKE UP!"
Prism looked at them in awe. She couldn't believe it! They were the ones she remembered.
"OH MY GOD!" Prism yelled, "I FORGOT ABOUT THE PRINCESS!"
Everyone looked at her concerned. "She sent me to Pluto to send me back in time to help you guys defeat Kiwikiwa, because if you don't, the Crystal Tokyo of the current future will…" She trailed off, "Be totally different…" She said on the verge of tears. "You see, Neo-Queen Serenity was imprisoned long ago, and she made me, to help save Crystal Tokyo by coming to the past to help you."
"So, Crystal Tokyo's…"
"Under Kiwikiwa's rule." Prism started glowing a bluish-aqua color. Then a crystal formed in her hands. It was exactly like the Imperial Silver Crystal, except it was aqua in color.
"The queen had the power to make another crystal." Pluto said.
"She must really need help Neptune said. Prism held the crystal in the air and closed her eyes. She whispered,
"Prism Power, Make up." She was enveloped in an aqua light and soon stood in a fuku like theirs, but the colors were switched. She stood in her fuku and looked around, "Hold onto me, we're needed." Prism said. They all touched her and she whispered, "warp." They were gone.
Nevlin stood in an open field in the park.
"Soon." He said. He knew what he could do to end this suffering. He was waiting for his plan to fall in place, "She'll come and save me." Nevlin thought. He knew she'd save him, but didn't know when she'd come. As he finished his thoughts, the outers, Prism and Jupiter appeared. Prism and Nevlin's eyes locked.
*It's her!* Nevlin thought.
*Oh My God!* Prism thought.
Nevlin touched the ground and carefully walked towards Prism.
"So, we finally meet."
"Hai. Let's get this over with." Prism said. "Healing Activation."
A faint white/blue light enveloped Nevlin. As he came out of the light, his armor had changed. It was many shades of blue lighter. He was finally healed. Now to help in the distruction of Kiwikiwa. Nevlin knew they weren't watching at the moment, so he disquised himself and went back to Haruka and Michiru's apartment.
