Chapter 12 - The Sorali
The Crusade had made excellent time and arrived in Palas in only a few short hours. Serena, Rei, Lita and Amy had received the tour of the Crusade. You thought Mina was fascinated by the guymellefs, that was nothing compared to Amy. She spent the entire time in the cargo bay or on the bridge asking the crew questions. The others relaxed in a room, catching up with Mina and talking with Van, Hitomi, Allen and Merle.
When they arrived in the harbor, they got in carriages and heading down to the Palace. As they neared, Allen halted the carriages when a messenger rod up to meet them.
"Good Evening Sir Allen, King Van, ladies." The messenger said as he bowed his head. The messenger was actually a steward from the castle, who was sent by the Head Steward. "I take it that everything went well up north?"
"We ran into a little trouble, but luckily these friends of Mina's showed up and helped us out. Gaea won't have to worry about Adellus ever again."
"Excellent! Er...by friends," the steward said looking at Mina, "do you mean 'powerful' friends?"
"Yep."
"Amazing!" The steward sighed. Then, he got back down to business. "Sir Allen, the King, his daughters, and Lord Dryden have returned and wanted me to invite you, your crew, and all these lovely ladies to the Moon Ball."
"Did you say ball?!" Serena said with starry eyes. The others perked up and leaned in to hear more.
"I had completely forgotten about it!" Allen said, laughing. "What a perfect opportunity to introduce our heroes to the people." Allen turned to look at the girls. "How about it girls? Will you change back into the Sailor Scouts so your brave deeds can be acknowledged."
They looked a little doubtful, until Van and Hitomi talked them into it. The steward scribbled down some names and rode off in a hurry.
Serena was squealing with excitement. The others girls were excited too, except Mina was a little nervous.
Oh my gosh, she thought, a ball! And Allen will be there! Maybe we'll dance...gosh, it's like a date! And I'm wearing my sailor uniform! She groaned. Oh well..... She glanced shyly over at Allen, who was sitting across from her, and met his gaze. He smiled at her. She blushed. The important thing is that we'll be together.
********* *********
The girls had transformed and were waiting by the doors of the great hall with the others, waiting to be announced. They peered inside and could see people dancing, laughing, eating, and having a great time over all. Van, Merle, and Hitomi had all quickly ran off to change at the steward's insistence. Hitomi now was in a long, purple gown; Van was wearing black pants, a white shirt, and a formal jacket with the colors of Fanelia on it; and Merle was in a simple, but elegant, black dress.
Trumpets blared from above and the activity inside the hall stopped.
"This is it." Allen told them. "Just follow our lead and you'll do great."
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" A herald announced. The crowd fell silent. "Asturia is greatly honored by the arrival of several important guests. May I present, Asturia's own, Sir Allen Schezar, with his brave and noble crew of the Crusade."
The crowd parted and cleared a pathway to the thrown. They cheered as Allen and his men walked in. They bowed to the King and then stood off to the side.
"His Majesty, King Van Fanel of Fanelia, with the Lady Merle and Lady Hitomi."
Van walked in with Hitomi and Merle behind him. The people cheered as they bowed to the King.
"And now, I am told that our next guests came from the Mystic Moon and defeated the evil that has been plaguing Asturia. It gives me great pleasure to present... the Sailor Scouts"
The crowd was taken back as five lovely ladies proudly entered the great hall. The crowd awed at the sight of five female warriors from the Mystic Moon. Some could be heard pointing out the length of the skirt, but the cheering overpowered it. The scouts bowed to the King and then Allen stepped up.
"Your Majesty, I'd like to introduce you to Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars,
Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Jupiter. Together, with King Van, my men, and the mystical powers of the Lady Hitomi, we defeated Adellus and have come to announce that Asturia is once again safe."
The crowd cheered.
The elderly King stood. "The people of Asturia are forever in your dept, Sailor Scouts. We thank you and honor you for your bravery and courage."
The scouts bowed in thanks.
"I do have one question for you though." The King said. He turned to Sailor Moon. "Is it true that you are the Princess of the Moon, the other moon, not the mystic moon?"
Sailor Moon blushed and stepped forward. "Yes, Your Majesty, it is true, but my place is to fight as a Sailor Scout until it is time for me to rule again."
The King nodded, obviously in deep thought. He motioned to a steward, whispered something to him, and the steward ran off.
"In my lifetime, I have had the chance to study the long history of our small planet. I remember reading, years ago, about a time of peace and tranquility on Gaea, where all the countries got together and formed a peace alliance. According to these records, they formed an alliance with a kingdom among the stars called the Silver Millenium. It is also written that members of the Silver Millenium and the rulers of Gaea crafted a beautiful treasure to represent the alliance between them."
At that point the steward rushed back in and presented the King with a small, wooden box.
"I want you to have this Sailor Moon. It's seems right that we seal our thanks and friendship with this gift, just like the days of the so called Silver Millenium."
The King opened the box and took out the treasure. It was a necklace with a charm on it. The charm was a crystal crescent moon with a crystal dragon wrapped around it. On closer inspection, the dragon had two crystal eyes, one pink, and one white.
Sailor Moon gracefully climbed the few stairs and reached out to take the treasure. When her hand touched the jewel, her pendant suddenly started reacting. Sailor Moon was enveloped in a white light. Her uniform grew and became a long white dress. The scouts gasped as Sailor Moon slowly turned into Princess Serenity. Princess Serenity's eyes went distant and the light from the jewel continued to glow. Then the Sailor Scouts eyes clouded over as they stared at the jewel.
Van then noticed that Hitomi's pendant, which he was still wearing around his neck, was also starting to glow.
"What's happening Van?" Hitomi whispered. Van removed the pendant and held it out. The light contracted and Van and Hitomi were bathed in it.
************* *********
Oh no, not again! thought Hitomi. Hitomi was suddenly in the dark and all alone. Is this another vision? The darkness faded and Hitomi was standing in the great hall, except it was different. The furniture was older and the clothes the people were wearing were very strange to her. Where were her friends? Where was Van? Hitomi started to worry. Then a man on the stage caught her eye. Van? No, it looks like Van's father, but it's not. Hitomi saw a tall, dark haired man, dressed in the colors of Fanelia, standing by a man with a crown wearing the colors of Asturia. Hitomi looked around and saw others beside the King, dressed in other royal colors, some that she recognized. There were also Knights of Caeli standing nearby. Everyone, however, was focused on a beautiful woman meeting with the King. She had a long white dress and long white hair. She looked an awful lot like Serena, or the princess Serena had turned in to. There were also four beautiful ladies standing behind her.
Hitomi watched the ceremony as the King handed the beautiful woman the same jewel Sailor Moon had just received. Hitomi was just beginning to understand as the vision faded.
She was back standing with Van. The look on his face told Hitomi that he too had shared in the vision. Van and Hitomi turned back to watch.
*************** ************
Sailor Venus felt a transformation occur as she shared a vision of the past with the others. When the vision was over she blinked a couple of times and shook her head. Then she noticed that she was no longer Sailor Venus. She was dressed in a long, yellow dress with flowing, silky layers. (*Psst, look at my profile picture to see part of it!*) She looked over to see the girls in gowns as well, except they were wearing the colors of their planet. Then, almost as suddenly as the vision came and went, the answer came to Mina, and she sighed with understanding. Princess Serenity then turned to face them and the awed crowd. Her eyes were still a little clouded, which meant that memories were still returning to her.
"That's right. Not only were you all Sailor Guardians, but you were also Princesses and representatives of your own planets. My mother, the previous Guardians, and the ancestors of our new friends," she said as she pointed to Van, Allen, and the King, "were there to witness the pact between the Moon Kingdom and the planet Gaea. This," she said as she held up the jewel, "was the symbol of their friendship, and they named it the Sorali. The moon represents the Moon Kingdom and the dragon represents Gaea. One eye on the dragon is made of Silver Crystal and the other..."
"...is made from a Drag Energist!" Van finished as he put two and two together.
"That's correct." Princess Serenity said with a smile. "The jewel possess the power to transport a person to and from Gaea. It was meant for an ambassador from the Silver Millenium." Serena's eyes then cleared up. Serena, with a large grin on her face, walked over to stand in front of Mina (Princess Venus, but we don't have to start that). "Mina, I want you to be the guardian of this wonderful treasure. I choose you to act as the ambassador from the new Moon Kingdom." Serena gently placed the jewel into Mina's hands.
"But, this means that..." Mina started.
"...you'll be able to visit whenever you need to." Serena winked at Mina and walked back to the King.
Mina didn't notice that the formal greetings had ended and that the ball was starting to continue. Even as the musicians started playing a waltz that sounded a lot like Cannon in D by Pachabell (hehe!), she continued to stare at the Sorali. Her eyes started to water. She was almost afraid to touch it, afraid it would break or end up being a dream. Her heart raced at what this meant.
"May I have this dance, beautiful princess?"
Mina looked up to see Allen. His face was beaming with a huge smile. Mina smiled back. She carefully slipped the necklace around her neck. Allen bowed to her and she curtsied. Allen took her hand and led her out to the dance floor.
He held her close as they danced to the romantic waltz. They gracefully danced around the ballroom, obliouvous to all others around them. This was their dance and their special night. Nothing was said between them, but talking wasn't necessary. Their hearts were doing all the talking as they gazed into each other's eyes.
Mina didn't even hear the chorus of sighs behind her.
*********** *************
Hitomi sighed and watch Allen and Mina start to dance. She was so happy for them. They now have a way to see each other. Hitomi glanced over to see Van staring at her with longing eyes. She blushed.
"Hitomi, would you dance with me?" He asked.
"I'd love to." She whispered. Van led her out to the dance floor and they began dancing. Half way through the waltz, Van led Hitomi over to the balcony and stopped dancing.
"Hitomi, can we talk out here?" Hitomi nodded. They walked outside on to the balcony.
They were alone on the balcony. The music drifted out to them and the full moon gave everything a beautiful glow.
"Hitomi, I want you to know that I'm having a wonderful time with you. Ever since you came back, you've filled a gap in my life. I was too scared and shy to say anything the last time you left, but the thought of losing you again is too much for me. Hitomi, I want you to stay here with me."
Hitomi was speechless and had her jaw hanging.
"Please Hitomi!" Van continued. "You are the most wonderful person I've ever met. You are kind, caring, passionate, intelligent, beautiful...."
"Oh Van..." Hitomi said blushing.
"Hitomi, I love you." Van said.
Hitomi's eyes started to water as she leaned in and hugged Van. He hugged her back and they stood there in silence for a few minutes.
"Van," she whispered, "I love you too, more than I ever thought possible. A year ago, I thought my place was on earth, but it's with you. But Van, I have to go back."
Van pulled her back and was about to protest.
"Shhhh." She placed a finger over his lips. "I have to go back to finish high school and give my friends and family time to adjust to the fact that I'll be coming back here, to be you."
She watched as Van's worried look melted into a huge smile. She smiled back. He pulled her back into a hug.
"Oh Hitomi...I'm so happy." He reached up a stroked her hair. She looked up and Van almost lost himself deep within her beautiful eyes. He leaned down and kissed her.
**************** *********
Allen led everyone out to a large garden in the back of palace. The scouts, or princesses followed, along with Van, Hitomi, Merle, and some of the men from the Crusade. Amy had informed them that they had to return that night, using the power of the full moon, because they were going to take Hitomi with them.
Serena, Rei, Lita, and Amy were talking together and bits of "...I wish Darien were here..." could be heard from them. Mina was walking hand in hand with Allen and they were talking softly together. Van and Hitomi were walking, also hand in hand, telling Merle all about Hitomi's decision. Merle was bouncing around with excitement.
They reached a large clearing and they stopped. Serena, Rei, Lita and Amy separated themselves from the crowd and moved out in to the clearing.
"Come on Mina, its time to go!" Chimed Serena.
Mina faced Allen.
"Goodbye Allen, I'll come and see you as soon as I can."
"I'll always be here waiting for you Mina." Allen reached down and caressed her face. He then leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss. Giggling and catcalls caused Mina to look over to see the girls pointed at her and making kissing noises. They laughed as they watched her turn deep red. She whispered goodbye again and reluctantly released Allen's hand. She walked over to join the others and gave them an evil glare. They just giggled more.
Hitomi and Van kissed goodbye and Hitomi came to stand in the middle of the circle they had formed.
"It's time to go. Let's do it!" Serena said.
"MOON COSMIC POWER!"
"MARS STAR POWER!"
"MERCURY STAR POWER!"
"JUPITER STAR POWER!"
"VENUS STAR POWER!"
The girls transformed into the Sailor Scouts once again and continued to gather their power.
"SAILOR...TELEPORT!"
A column of light appeared around them and a magic wind blew. Then, as the ground around them started to rumble, the light flared much brighter, and then they were gone.
Allen looked up to the Mystic Moon. He sighed and turned around to head back in. On the way, he took out a pale, yellow scarf from his pocket. Mina..., he thought, as he stored the scarf away carefully.
THE END
NOTE: Well, I finally finished. I just like to say that I'm proud of this story. It's my first attempt at fan fiction and I think I did a pretty good job. Allen and Mina finally have someone and Hitomi and Van WILL be together. Thank you for reading my story. I hope you enjoyed it! Please review it and let me know what you think! Sincerely, Marilyn
