A Twisted Engagement
By: Lady Turquoise
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I can't believe I was about to..." Rei let her voice trail off, the thought of what she had almost done scared her.
Ami put her hand on her friend's shoulder. "Rei, we couldn't help it, just be glad that they got out of there."
Rei nodded and hugged Ami.
"I can't believe all of this is happening," said Seiya.
"Believe it," said Setsuna. "We are dealing with the Negaverse, anything is possible."
"I miss Joanna and all of them," said Michiru.
Everyone nodded in agreement with Michiru.
Joanna and Damion walked into the Hikawa Shrine
and looked around, it was quiet.
"Funny, this is the quietest that I've ever
heard this place." said Joanna.
"Especially when the Starlights are here."
"No kidding, well why don't we go spice things
up a bit." suggested Damion a mischievous glint in his eye.
Joanna smiled and nodded, "Oh Damion do you
have the bottle?"
"Yeah, it's right here in my pocket," he said
patting his jacket pocket.
"Good, then what are we waiting for, let's
get in there and surprise the hell out of them."
They walked into Rei's room as quiet as they
could and saw the group sleeping on the floor. Joanna and Damion looked
at with a wicked gleam in their eyes, they walked back out and got some
buckets of cold water and ran back into the room and threw the water on
top of everyone.
Everyone in the room woke up screaming bloody
murder.
"What the FUCK!!!!" yelled Yaten looking around
the room. His eyes came to rest on the couple at the door laughing their
asses off. "JOANNA, DAMION!!!!!!!!!!"
"YATEN!!!!!!!!" yelled both Joanna and Damion.
Everyone's head snapped to where Joanna and
Damion were standing and soon the two were covered in a mass of people
hugging them.
"Okay, *gasp* guys *gasp* could you *gasp*
let up a *gasp* bit and let us *gasp* breathe?" choked out Joanna.
Everyone let go of their grasp on Joanna and
Damion.
Hotaru was the first to find her voice. "How
the hell did you guys get here?!?"
"It's a long story." laughed Joanna. "But
first I think that there are three of our friends who need to be woken
up."
"What do you mean Joanna? I've been trying
everything, nothing has worked." said Ami.
"Well we got the antidote," said Damion. "Their
blasts, whenever they hit a person directly like in the chest or back it
leaves a small trace of this virus in the body that puts them in a sleeplike
state so that they can not wake up unless they have the antidote."
"Well what are we standing around for? Let's
go wake them up!" said Minako.
They all start walking on over to Ami's house,
where Haruka, Makoto, and Usagi were all at.
Seiya walked over to Joanna and put his arm
over her shoulder.
Joanna looked over at him. "Seiya, don't even
start, I told you that we are just friends. I'm engaged to Damion now."
"I know but can't a friend put an arm around
a friend? Look I'm just trying to be nice, you know I still like you but
I understand that you were meant to be with Damion and I am not going to
do anything that could possibly break the two of you up, cause I know that
I wouldn't succeed." said Seiya.
Joanna looked up at Seiya who had grown a
few inches since she had seen him last. "Thanks."
"For what?"
"For being a friend and understanding." With
that she gave him a small kiss on the cheek and watched as he turned bright
red. She laughed a little to herself and thought back to when she had first
met him. She had been in the recording studio recording another of her
albums when he and his brothers had walked in. Damion was out of town for
a year studying abroad in Germany. It seemed as though everyone in that
recording studio was about to have heart attacks, The Three Lights and
Joanna Shirley, the two biggest things to hit the music charts in the last
five years, and they were in the same room! Joanna and Seiya had started
to talk, she had always been a sucker for black hair and blue eyes, the
next thing the two of them knew they had a date for that Saturday night.
They hit it off on the date and they started to see each other seriously,
then they found out about their secret identities, it had been a little
bit of a surprise to her to find out that Seiya was a girl but well, at
least he was a guy when he wasn't transformed, it was also a little bit
of a surprise to him to find out that Joanna was one of the most powerful
of the Sailor Senshi. They continued to date afterwards but then after
a year when Damion came back Joanna broke up with Seiya in a heartbreaking
moment for the both of them but since Seiya was also a Sailor Senshi by
then it had been easier for him to understand Joanna and Damion's destiny.
Joanna went back with Damion and soon Seiya had gotten involved in a love,
hate, relationship with Serena.
Joanna looked back at Seiya and wondered what
would have happened if she had never met Damion, would she and Seiya have
gotten more involved and eventually gotten married? No, Setsuna would never
have allowed that, it would have disrupted the timeline too much. And thinking
back over it, it had made Joanna and Damion's relationship stronger. She
had a lot to thank Seiya for.
Damion looked back at Joanna and Seiya and
chuckled to himself, he knew about their past relationship but knew that
now it was nothing more than a close friendship, but he also swore to himself
that if Seiya tried any funny stuff he would be answering to his fist.
When they got to Ami's house, Ami opened the
door and let everyone in. Damion handed her the bottle and Joanna and Ami
went into Mako-chan's room where she was laying on the bed with Ken beside
her stroking her hair trying to coax her to wake up.
Joanna walked over to Ken and put her hand
on his shoulder and gave him a reassuring look while Ami filled the syringe
with the antidote. With skill and perfection Ami injected the fluid into
Makoto's arm and then stood back and waited for her to wake up. In just
a matter of seconds the medicine began to take affect and Makoto's eyes
started to flutter open.
"Wha? Where am I?" asked Makoto holding her
head.
Ken threw his arms around her and kissed her.
Both Joanna and Ami looked at each other and walked quietly out of the
room so the couple could have their time alone.
Next they went the Haruka's room where Michiru
was sitting next to her on the bed stroking her hand.
Ami administered the shot just like she did
with Makoto and with the same results. Michiru embraced her lover as Haruka
came to. Again Joanna and Ami left the room to give the couple their privacy.
Joanna and Ami took a deep breath as they
stood outside Usagi's door. It had worked twice already, but would it work
again? They walked in and saw Mamoru there
cradling Usagi in his arms. Ami filled another syringe with the drug
and injected it into Usagi's arm.
They waited for five minutes and then another
five minutes and they were just about to give up hope when they heard Usagi's
voice clear as a bell. "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M GONNA BE LATE!!!!!!!!"
Joanna and Ami and Mamoru all embraced her
in a hug and soon everyone else in the house was in the room hugging her
too.
"Guys, why are you hugging me?" asked Usagi.
"It's a long story Usagi, a very long story,"
said Rei with tears in her eyes.
That night everything was back to normal, Joanna
and Damion were back together, Usagi and Mamoru, Michiru and Haruka, Makoto
and Ken.
Joanna was lying in bed with Damion's arms
wrapped around her body. "I love you." she whispered.
"I love you too." he said hugging her closer.
"Hey guys! Can we have some ice cream!?!"
asked Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki bursting into the room.
"There goes that mood." grumbled Joanna. "Why
is that everytime we are close to actually going for it, something interrupts
us!" she thought to herself.
"Did we interrupt something?" asked Taiki.
"I told you we should have knocked first!"
whispered Seiya to Yaten.
Joanna and Damion shook their heads, trying
to figure out why they always got stuck putting these guys up at their
place whenever they drop by.
"No, you didn't interrupt anything." said
Joanna.
"Oh good then can we have some ice cream?"
asked Yaten.
Damion couldn't help but laugh at their faces
and Joanna's small scowl. "Yeah, you guys can have some just so long as
you get us some too," he said.
"I guess we should get up?" asked Joanna.
"Yeah I guess so." replied Damion releasing
Joanna from his arms.
Joanna got up and slipped on her robe and
tied the string at the waist. She felt a pair of strong arms encircle her
waist and she leaned back onto an all-familiar chest.
Damion absently stroked her hair as she leaned
on his chest. She was so beautiful, he wanted her so bad, to take her in
his arms and fulfill her every desire.
Just then Seiya walked back into the room.
"Do you guys want Pecan Carmel Quake or Black Jack Cherry?" he said holding
up two cartons of ice cream.
"Pecan." said Joanna sighing in frustration.
"Cherry." said Damion.
Seiya nodded his head and walked back out
of the room.
"Well come on we better get out there before
they interrupt another romantic moment." said Joanna.
Damion laughed. "What's wrong? Can't wait?"
"Oh I can wait, I'm just afraid that you can't."
she said with a laugh.
"Oh yeah? Is that so?" Damion leaned over
and picked Joanna up and started to tickle her stomach.
"AHH!! STOP!!! THAT TICKLES!!" half yelled
half laughed Joanna.
"As you wish my lady." said Damion as he leaned
over and kissed her.
Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki looked over at each
other as Damion walked out into the living room with Joanna in his arms
laughing. "Why do we always get stuck staying over here?" asked Seiya.
"Beats me." said Taiki.
That night after both Damion and Mamoru had gone to sleep there were visited in their dreams to be given a special message.
Mamoru's dream:
"Mamoru." whispered a soft yet commanding
voice. "Mamoru, wake up."
Mamoru's eyes fluttered open and there standing
in front of him was Queen Serenity and Sailor Pluto. "Queen Serenity."
he said bowing before her.
"Mamoru, do not bow to me, we are family now."
said Serenity softly. "You've been treating my daughter like the princess
that she is."
Mamoru's mind was reeling, what was she here
for, was she upset that he kissed Joanna? And what was Pluto here for?
"Mamoru, are you listening to me?" asked Serenity.
"Yes, my queen."
"Don't call me queen, call me mom. I hate
formalities."
Mamoru chuckled, she was just like Usagi,
or was Usagi just like her.
"Anyway Pluto and I have come here to show
you something very important."
"Show me?"
"Yes we are going to show you part of your
past in the Silver Millenium." said Pluto.
"My past?"
"Yes Mamoru, please don't be so dense" said
Pluto loosing patience.
Serenity put a hand on Pluto's shoulder. "Calm
yourself Pluto, this is all new for him."
Pluto nodded and held her time key and waved
it in the air and soon a viewing portal appeared and inside Mamoru watched
his childhood during the time of the Silver Millenium. Always Damion was
there right beside him helping him out, in fact Damion was part of the
reason that he even got together with Usagi in the first place. And then
he saw what Serenity had wanted him to see, when he saw it come across
the screen he gasped out loud.
"Why is it that I never knew? Why didn't I
get that memory back when I received all of my memories from the Moon?
Serenity, I mean mom, Pluto, why was I never told before now?"
Serenity and Pluto began their long explanation.
Mamoru woke up in the morning and looked over at a picture of everyone that was up on the wall. He and Damion were standing next to each other and Joanna and Usagi were in front of them. "Why is it that I never noticed it before?" he asked himself.
Damion's Dream:
"Damion. Damion, wake up." said a voice that
he couldn't seem to place but it had a tone of royalty to it.
"Who is it?" he asked cautiously.
"It's me, Queen Serenity." said Queen Serenity
stepping out of the shadows with Sailor Pluto next to her.
"Queen Serenity!"
"Yes Damion, I think that we have established
that, but I have come to show you something and I don't have much time
to do it." she said.
"Then let's get on with it, I don't want to
keep you here any longer than you have to be here." said Damion.
"I also don't want to rush this, it may be
a little hard for you to understand."
Damion nodded.
Pluto took out her Time Staff and waved it
in the air and a viewing screen appeared. "We are going to show you some
of your past during the Silver Millenium."
With that a "movie" began to play across the screen.
Damion saw himself as a young boy playing
on the Moon with his best friends, and with Joanna and the other scouts.
He saw himself in knight training with Mamoru. He saw it all.
After the "movie" was over he looked over
at Pluto and Serenity. "Why was I never told before now?"
"It wasn't the right time. It would have disrupted
time too much if we had told you earlier," said Pluto.
"Please try to understand Damion, we only
waited until you were ready to hear this news." said Serenity.
"I understand, I'm just a little upset that
I never saw it before myself."
"Damion they only way that could have possibly
thought that, you would have just dismissed it as deja vu anyway." said
Pluto.
Damion nodded.
"We just have one final request Damion," said
Serenity.
"What is that?"
"Take good care of Joanna, she was always
like a daughter to me." said Serenity smiling.
"Don't worry, she'll be well taken care of.
I love her with all my heart and I would never let any harm come to her."
"I know I was just making sure," said Queen
Serenity. "I must go now Damion, take care of yourself."
"Goodbye Serenity." said Damion.
That morning Damion woke up with a still sleeping
Joanna in his arms. He smiled and then glanced over at a picture of everyone.
It had been one of those rare times when everyone including the Starlights
had been together; even Chibi-Usa was there. He smiled as he looked at
the area where he and Mamoru were standing with Joanna and Usagi in their
arms. "It's about time that we start acting like the family that we are."
With that he gently kissed Joanna.
Joanna's eyes fluttered opened and looked
up at Damion. She started to laugh immediately.
"What's so funny?" asked Damion.
"Nothing, it's just this is the first time
that you have ever gotten me up!" Both of them burst out laughing. "But
I like being woken up by you." she said kissing him.
"Could you guys keep it down in here?" asked
Yaten walking sleepily into the room.
Joanna glanced over at the clock on the table.
"Oh no!!!!! We overslept!!!!!!!! They are so going to kill us!!!!!"
"What time is it?" asked Seiya walking into
the room.
"It's 9:00!!!!! We were supposed to meet everyone
down at the Temple at 8 to go to the beach and then out to lunch!" said
Joanna jumping out of the bed.
"Whoa Joanna, you may want to go into the
bathroom to go change," said Damion with a grin on his face.
Joanna looked down her shirt was halfway off
and she was standing in her thong underwear. She immediately jumped in
the bathroom and locked the door.
Seiya looked over at Damion, "Hey why did
you have to tell her, I wouldn't have minded if she had changed out here."
"Watch it Seiya, that is my fiancée
you're talking about," said Damion giving Seiya a nasty look.
Just then Joanna walked back out of the bathroom
in a metallic blue string bikini; a silver mesh sarong and she had her
hair up in clips. "Bathroom's free." she simply stated as she walked by
four gawking guys.
"Damn!" was all that any of the guys could
say once she was out of the room.
Joanna giggled to herself after she was out
of the room. "Men."
Later on that day at the beach everyone was
relaxing and just trying to forget the past few days.
Joanna was busy giving Damion a massage while
everyone else tried to figure out what they were going to do for Joanna
and Damion's wedding.
"Has Joanna picked a Maid of Honor?" asked
Ken.
"Do you even need to ask? Everyone knows that
it's going to be Michiru," said Makoto.
Michiru just smiled, "I don't know I mean
she could choose anyone to be her maid of honor."
"Sure Michiru, stop being so modest, ou know you're
a shoo in." said Usagi
Everyone just laughed; "It's great to be together
like this again." said Seiya looking at everyone
Just then Joanna walked over to them with
Damion right behind her. "Hey Seiya, Taiki, Yaten, I have a favor to ask
you guys."
"Sure, what is it Jo?" asked Taiki using the
nickname that he and his brothers used with her.
"Well I was wondering if you guys would be
the band at the wedding reception."
"Sure!" yelled all of them at once.
Joanna leaned down and kissed each one of
them, one by one, all of them turned bright red.
"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!" yelled a nearby bystander.
"What the? Not again!!!" yelled everyone.
They all raced over there and there was Molly
held in a youma's grasp with Melvin lying on the ground passed out; either
that or his energy had been drained.
"Put her down!" yelled Usagi.
"And who's gonna make me?" asked the youma.
"We are!!!!" yelled everyone, taking up fighting
stances.
The Youma threw Molly down into a heap, it
had drained her of all her energy.
"And who are you to stop me?"
They all took out their transformation articles
and began to transform into the elite fighting team known as the sailor
senshi. Ken, Greg, Andrew, and Chad got to a safe place and watched while
their wives did their thing.
"WE ARE THE SAILOR SENSHI!!!" yelled all of
them.
"We Fight for love and justice. We will triumph
over evil and that means you! In the name of the Moon...." said Sailor
Moon
"In the name of Jupiter...."
"In the name of Venus...."
"In the name of Mercury...."
"In the name of Mars...."
"Lured by the new epic I am Sailor Neptune
and I graciously fight for what is right."
"Lured by the new epic I am Sailor Uranus
and I courageously fight for this planet."
"I'm Sailor Pluto, the Guardian of Time, this
Planet will not be taken over by evil, time will tell!"
"Under the protection of the silent star,
Saturn. I am Sailor Saturn!"
"On behalf of this Universe I will fight to
protect it from evil like you!"
"I also fight on behalf of the Universe!" yelled
Universe Knight
"Penetrating the darkness of night. . ."
"The air of freedom breaks through. . ."
"We are the three sacred shooting stars. .
."
"Sailor Star Fighter!"
"Sailor Star Maker!"
"Sailor Star Healer!"
"Sailor Starlights, stage on!"
"How dare you torture innocent people and
for that......" said Tuxedo Mask holding a rose in his had.
"WE WILL PUNISH YOU!!!!" yelled everyone one
at once.
"Finally." replied the youma dryly. "Now can
we get on with this fight or do you have any more introductions that you
have to go through?" Not getting any answer but a few stern looks from
the Scouts the youma sent lightning fast bars of pointed steel flying at
all of them.
"STAR SENSITIVE INFERNO!!!!!" Healer's blast
melted all of the steel spikes before they even got close.
"There's more where that came from Sailor
Brats!" with that she sent an energy blast at all of them.
"SILENCE WALL!!" yelled Saturn putting up
a force field with reflected the energy beam back at the youma.
The youma dodged the blast but not by much
and began to shoot energy beams and spikes and everything else that she
had at them.
Universe and Uranus were the only ones at
that moment who weren't being bombarded by the attacks. They looked over
at each other and both began their attacks.
"SPACE SWORD.....BLASTER!!!!"
"LIGHTNING SWORD....SLASH!!!!"
The combined attack hit the youma straight
on. It screamed in pain and disintegrated before them.
They transformed back into their normal clothes
and collapsed on the blanket that they had laid out for everyone.
"Will we ever get a little time to ourselves!?"
yelled Minako.
"No kidding, it seems that everytime we actually
begin to have fun and are able to relax a little a new threat comes to
Earth threatening to destroy it." said Makoto.
"Come on guys, we might as well go home and
relax. This place is bound to be crawling with people soon." said Setsuna.
Joanna and Damion entered the apartment. "I'll
be right back, I'm going to go change out of this bathing suit." said Joanna
giving Damion a quick kiss.
Damion went into the kitchen and poured a
couple glasses of champagne, as he planned for a romantic evening. He looked
up as Joanna came walking out of the bedroom looking faint, and pale. He
rushed over to her side, "Are you okay?" he said his voice full of concern.
"I'm fine, but I don't think I will be for
long." said Joanna, holding up the letter.
"Princess Lyra wants me dead, and she will stop
at nothing. She wants me to meet with her, it will be a fight to the finish,
but she has one condition. That I come alone." She let the letter drop
to the ground. "Don't try to stop me, this is something I must do. If I
do not come back from this fight, don't forget that I have loved you and
that you will always be a part of me." she silently caressed his face.
"You're in my heart, now and forever." Tears now streaming down her face
she kissed him gently, soulfully, passionately, everything a kiss should
be.
After the kiss had ended Damion looked down
at Joanna, "And you will forever be in mine."
"I must go now."
"Please be careful."
"I will, I'm not going down without a fight,
and I promise that I will give Lyra the fight of her life. UNIVERSE ETERNAL
POWER!!!!!! MAKE-UP!!!!!!!!"
Damion watched Joanna leave the apartment
and rushed for his communicator and pressed the all call button.
"What's up Damion?" asked Michiru.
"It's Joanna." he said worry etched in his
face.
"We'll be over as fast as we can." said all
of them. To many things had been happening lately and they knew by the
look on Damion's face that this was important.
A few minutes later Damion let all of the senshi,
in senshi form, into his room.
Damion passed the letter, which he had read
a hundred times, to Rei. She read it out loud for everyone to hear.
"Let me guess, Joanna left and accepted Lyra's
challenge?" asked Rei.
"Yes, she did." said Damion.
"Well we have to go after her." said Usagi.
"We can't just stand around, while our friend might need our help."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Damion transformed
and they formed a circle and teleported to the Negaverse, to the exact
location if not a few meters away from where Joanna and Lyra were no doubt
battling it out at that very moment.
