Sailor Gundams

Episode II- Welcome Deathsythe

The rest of the week, and Relena's flight home, were uneventful. To Relena's dismay Heero didn't
show himself for the rest of the trip. On the flight home she reflected on her forgotten past.
Lately, in her dreams, she'd remembered even more, some of the memories bringing a slight blush to
her cheeks. She was silent during the long flight home, as she gazed absently out the window. Her
mind was far away though, in her forgotten past.

Noin picked her up at the airport, inquiring about how her trip went. Relena decided not to tell
Noin about the strange events that had occured at Crystal Tokyo. Instead she gave her a general
description of the crystal ruins and the places she had went to on the other days of her trip.
Noin nodded, as they pulled into Preventer Headquarters.

Relena entered her small office and found it the same as when she had left. Relena sighed and
glanced at the teddy bear Heero had given her, his first birthday gift to her. It was sitting on
her wooden desk. Next to the bear was a picture of Heero. Looking at the picture brought back
another vivid memory from her past.

She and Heero were playing tag in an open field. The thought of the Heero she knew playing tag
brought a grin to the real Relena's face. When the two stopped they sat down, Relena in Heero's
lap, at the base of a tall and shady tree. The happy couple looked at the beautiful sunset that
was unfolded before them. Relena heard herself sigh as she leaned back into Heero's arms and his
embrace tightened around her. Relena heard the thoughts that went through her head in that moment,
everything was perfect, so very perfect. The next part shocked the real Relena as well as the
memory Heero. She heard herself whisper, " Heero...we're gonna have a baby." She hadn't realized,
even in what she'd remembered of her past so far, that she'd had children in her past life.

Relena's eyes were still widened when the memory faded, returning her to the real world and her
office in Preventers Headquarters. She...and Heero had had children.... The thought both shocked
and thrilled her. So, Heero had loved her, at least once upon a time. That gave her some hope
that he also did in this life.

Her thoughts were interrupted by her secretary, " Vice Foreign Minister Dorlian, someone is here
and requests to see you. Her name is Ebony Trépas."

" Send her in," Relena replied, wondering just who Ms. Trépas was. Nothing she could've imagined
would have prepared her for the real thing, though.

A raven hair youth entered her office. Her hair was cut short and very wavy, one wave fell close
to covering her eye, in fact. The girl was shorter than Relena, and obviously younger, probably
about 15. She stood about 5'3 1/2", compared to Relena's 5' 5". She had an average frame and was
thin, but muscular at the same time. The girl carried an almost rebellious glint in her green eyes
and it was obvious that she was of the type that wasn't easily pushed around. Relena wondered to
herself what such a young girl was doing around Preventers Headquarters.

" Hello, Vice Foreign Minister Dorlian," the girl greeted warmly and respectfully, " You're probably
wondering why I'm here...so I'll make this quick. I'd like to join the Preventers, but the person
in charge of recruiting won't let me.... I was wondering if you could talk to him...."

" How old are you?" Relena asked.

" 15 years," the girl replied.

" Let me get this strait," Relena started, not noticing the black glow from the backpack she'd place
next to her desk earlier, " You're only 15 years of age and you want to join a militeristic operation
in charge of keeping peace? It's not just all fun and games. Do you have any idea what you'd be
getting yourself in to? Not everyone decides to lay down their arms peacefully."

" Yes, I am very aware of what I'd be required to do," Ebony replied coldly, " I am prepared to
die...or kill to keep peace.... Hey, what's that black glow?"

" What black glow?" Relena asked, following Ebony's gaze to the small backpack that held the things
she'd aquired in Japan. Relena walked over to the backpack and opened it, wondering herself what
was the source of the glow. She found it to be one of the boxes she'd found in the vault at Crystal
Tokyo, the black one.

Ebony felt strangly drawn to the box, and the light. She quietly asked, " May I see that?"

Relena handed the black and silver box to Ebony, noting it said "Gundam Deathsythe" on the top.
Ebony took it gingerly, studying it carefully. She felt a strange tingling as her fingers caressed
the glowing box. " Gundam Deathsythe," she whispered, as she read the lettering on top of the box.
Then she let out a gasp as the black light envoloped her, as blue light had Relena, and pulled her
into the box. The box hit the floor and Relena picked it up, turning the box in her hand.

" Welcome, Sailor Deathsythe," she murmured, as she realized what was happening.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ebony blinked and shielded her eyes from the black light, although how it managed to blind her was
a mystery. Suddenly the light blended together to make a ghostly figure. The figure had long
black hair that was pulled into a ponytail, and cascaded down in beautiful waves. Her eyes were
green and she wore a sleeveless top that showed her belly and pants. She was very beautiful.
Ebony jumped in suprise when she saw her. Even though the figure looked older and wore her hair
differently she could tell it was herself.

" You're...you're me...," Ebony stammered, " But how?"

" Yes, I am you, your past self," the figure replied.

" My...past self?" questioned Ebony.

" Yes, have you heard of the ruins of the crystal city, Crystal Tokyo, that have been found near
the current site of Tokyo, Japan?" the ghost Ebony questioned, continuing as she recieved a nod
in reply, " You once lived in it's time. Actually you were a close friend of Princess Serenity's,
along with her brother Endymiona, called Endy for short. You always admired Princess Serenity
because she was a sailor scout, and were suprised when sailor tendencies were found in you."

" Sailor what?" Ebony asked.

" Tendencies, sailor tendencies. They are certain traits found in sailor scouts, including
starseeds. You, and four others were discovered to possess these traits. Memories should be
returning to you now, so I shall leave you to them for a short while," the ghostly visage answered.

True to the ghost's word memories did return. Two were especially vivid. In one she was braiding
a man's hair. It was long, brown, and gorgeous. Suddenly the man's name popped into her head, Duo.
He turned around when she was finished and kissed her lovingly. That's when Ebony recognized him
as the gundam pilot Duo Maxwell. The second memory was equally happy in atmosphere. She was in
a beautiful garden, a crystal palace all around her. Standing next to her was a pink haired girl
of about her age. She wore her hair in two pink, rabbit ear shaped buns with the excess hair hanging
down. Rini, Princess Serenity, her best friend, instinctivly she knew that's who it was.

" You have met your love, and your best friend," the ghost Ebony spoke, " Now is the time of destiny.
One of your greatest dreams will now come true. You must become Sailor Deathsythe, and protect
this future, as the planet senshi protected our past."

" Yes...I will," Ebony answered, determination think in her voice.

" Good. It's nice to know you still have your old spirit, you will need it," the ghost Ebony
commented with a grin, " Go now. You will know what to do when the time of action comes. One
other sailor has been discovered, the leader of the gundam sailors, Sailor Wing...Relena Peacecraft.
I go now, have fun saving the world!"

" Hey! You didn't even tell me how to transform...," Ebony stated, trailing off as she woke up and
realized that she was sprawled upon the floor of Relena's office. " Oh! Vice Foreign Minister
Dorlian," Ebony started with a blush, " Sorry about that...."

" No, it's quite all right. The same thing happened to me, actually. Welcome to the team, Sailor
Deathsythe...I'm Sailor Wing," Relena replied, " And please, stop calling me 'Vice Foreign Minister
Dorlian', call me Relena."

" Okay, Relena...now, about me getting into the preventers...," Ebony started.

" I've got a better idea," Relena spoke up.

" Oh, boy...we'll just see," Ebony replied sarcastically.

" I didn't say that you'd like it better," Relena answered.

AN: CLIFFHANGER!! ^_^ Don't worry, I'm almost done with the next chapter.... Strange, after I
posted the first chapter I got inspiration for this one ^_~, which I've been in lack of for months.
I've had the outlines for the first five chapters for months, too...I just haven't had the inspiration
to write them ~_~'
