AN: To Sailor Moon fans, you may be saying, hey this is like that episode… and you would be right. I thought that it was appropriate to have the same theme, with a few differences.
Chapter 16: The Past Returns
"Usagi I'm going out with Leo. Will you be okay?"
"Oh sure! Mamo-chan and I are going out too!"
"That's cool. Ok, see you later!"
"Bye Addy!"
Addy walked out of her house and saw Leo waiting patiently at the steps. "Are you ready?"
She greeted him with a kiss. "Yes, I am."
* * *
"One time, when I was six, my mother came into school and said to the ENTIRE class, 'Leo, I just gave your teacher some clean underwear for you just in case…' "
"No!" Addy busted out laughing.
Leo started to laugh too. "Yeah and the entire class didn't leave me alone for the rest of the year!"
"That must have been horrible!"
"Yes, but I find it more amusing to laugh than to stay horrified for the rest of my life."
"Well good for you!" Addy continued laughing.
Leo stopped. "You know Addy, I know I've said this, but I feel like we have known each other for longer than a few weeks."
"Yes Leo, I know. You say that every time we go out."
"But even with that feeling, I still can't help but feel that I don't really know you." Addy choked on her water. "Are you okay, Addy?"
Still coughing, "Yes… I'm fine…" She swallowed hard. "What makes you think that Leo?"
"Well, for one thing you choked on your drink the moment I said something." Addy blushed. "But besides that, sometimes you will break up your dates on me out of nowhere. You say it's important but why won't you tell me the reason."
"Oh Leo, it's not that easy…"
"Why isn't it Addy? I know we have only known each other for a short time but in that time, I have told you everything about me. Including what my mother used to do to me as a child!" He gave an exasperated sigh. "Addy, promise me that one day you will tell me everything about yourself?"
Addy looked deeply into Leo's eyes and saw that he really needed her to say this. "Leo, the reason I don't tell you about this is not because I don't trust you. There are others involved that I would need to talk to first. And many if not all will say no. But someday, you will know."
It wasn't quite the answer he was looking for, but it would have to do for now. "Thank you, Addy. But to even the score, do you have any embarrassing stories to tell me?"
* * *
"I'm glad we talked Addy. You know I feel much better."
"I'm glad. I care for you Leo. I wish we could…"
Addy was interrupted by another voice. "Damn you! Can't I ever get you alone?"
Addy looked up at the floating Azurite. "Who the hell are you?"
"I'm your worst nightmare!"
"I can't transform, then Leo will know everything!" Addy thought to herself. "But then he will know everything," another part of her repeated.
"If you lay one finger on Addy, I swear to god I'll…" Leo started.
"Sweetie, I'm not after that twit over there! I'm after you!"
Addy rushed to nearby payphone and dialed Isabella's number. "Isabella pick up!"
"Hello?"
"Isabella, hurry there is a… hello?"
"Hello? Addy?" Minako looked at Isabella worriedly. "She's in trouble." Without a moment of hesitation Minako and Isabella contacted the others.
"You think the police can help you?" Azurite said. She had ripped the phone line. She threw the cord on the ground. "They can't stop me! Now, say goodbye to your boyfriend!"
"NOOOOO!" Not wasting another moment, Addy shouted, "ROSE POWER… TRANSFORM!"
Leo mouth dropped open. Azurite was surprised but not entirely shocked. "So, your girlfriend is Sailor Rose. Well you have bad luck in choosing your girlfriends because now you will have to watch see her die!" She extended her hand in front of her body and shot a crystal at Sailor Rose. But before the crystal hit her, a red rose hit the crystal and shattered it. What no one realized is that one of the pieces managed to pierce Leo. "What the-?!"
"A plague needs to be contained before it is destroyed. I, Tuxedo Kamen, will make sure that you will no longer infect this city!"
Sailor Rose looked upon her brother, "Do you always make corny speeches like that?" He gave her a sheepish grin.
The rest of the senshi and soldiers appeared. "Looks like I'm not welcomed after all," Azurite said, she turned to leave but smiled before turning completely. "But I'll be back! Oh and say bye to your boyfriend for me!"
"LEO!" Sailor Rose realized that Leo has been hurt. She ran to him. "Oh Leo, I'm so sorry, if only I had told you about this sooner. You might have been more prepared!" She started to cry.
"No Addy, I understand now why you didn't tell me. If in the same position, I wouldn't tell you either." He winced in pain.
"Oh Leo! I wish I had never met you! Then this would happen to you!"
"Don't say that! The time we shared together has been the best time of my life! It was the best because I was with you."
Sailor Moon's silver crystal and Mamoru's golden crystal appeared before them and glowed. The silver crystal moved over Leo and the golden crystal moved above Sailor Rose. The crystals showered light over them.
The soldiers and the senshi stared in awe. The light inside the crystals grew stronger as they showered light more light. Eventually the light reached all of the senshi and soldiers. The symbols of their respective planets glowed on the senshi's foreheads and the soldiers' rings glowed. Tuxedo Kamen changed into the armor his future self wore as King Endymion and Sailor Moon changed into her Neo-Queen Serenity robes. Sailor Rose changed into her princess garments and Leo changed into the same outfit he wore in his dreams. Addy was confused that Leo too had changed.
"What is all this?" Usagi gasped.
"I remember now…" Leo began. "I have finally discovered it. My true self… I am Prince Apollo of the Sun. And you are Princess Gaia of the Earth."
"Yes!" Addy said. "We had an arranged marriage. But…" Addy was still confused. "I never met you. The Earth was attacked before the party and… I never wanted to marry you."
"Yes, you did. Not as Apollo, but as Lucas whom you thought to be a lowly servant."
"Lucas?" Addy couldn't remember any of it.
Meanwhile…
"Azurite have you brought me that you man you promised me?"
"Uh… your majesty, there was a slight problem and the young man had a little accident."
"What?"
"There was this guy… and he threw a rose and the crystal shattered and then well…"
"Yes?"
"Well…"
"I'm losing my patience Azurite…"
"A piece hit the boy."
"WHAT! YOU INSOLENT FOOL!" Mineralia shot fireballs at Azurite and she was disintegrated instantly. "Of all the insolent fools! I shall have to go down and get him myself."
* * *
"Do not worry, your memory will return to you," Leo assured Addy.
"But by that time, you will be dead!"
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" said Queen Mineralia. "I have my interests in that boy!"
Usagi looked up at the figure. "Who are you?"
"Me? I am Queen Mineralia. I believe you are the one who killed my sister Mettalia. She made too many mistakes but the same will not happen for me. I will conquer this planet and I'm taking him with me!" With a flick of her wrist, Leo disappeared and the two crystals return to their owners Addy, Usagi and Mamoru return to their Sailor Rose, Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen outfits.
"Where did you take him?" Sailor Rose yells.
"No where you need to concern yourself with. I must admit I never anticipated that he had the power of the sun behind him.
"YOU MONSTER GIVE LEO BACK!"
"Oh just you wait! You will see him again and improved if I might add. He will be with me and rule this pathetic excuse for a planet with me… if we decide not to destroy it." On that note, she disappears.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sailor Rose collapsed on the ground. Sailor Moon walks up to her and gives her a hug.
"It's ok… we'll get Leo back. I promise."
* * *
Meanwhile at Mineralia's palace…
Leo is under a device similar to the one Mamoru was under when Beryl tried to remove his memories. He is lying on his back, hands and his sides while he is showered with purple beams of energy. Mineralia is watching him carefully.
"He will make an excellent general with his energy. And hopefully be more competent than the other generals I've had in the past. State your name."
Leo struggles to open his eyes. "Which one do you want?"
"You have spunk. I like that; an excellent quality for a warrior. Soon you will be my slave."
"Get a life lady!"
"Oh, I'm hurt," she says sarcastically. She walks out of the room and into her throne room. "If the Sun belongs to me then the Earth is sure to follow! Revenge will be mine!!! Hahahahaha…"
