Love's Ways
Chapter 5 - Awaken
Author: Krys Yuy
*********************************
Just as a deadly blast was going to be released yet again, a whisper was carried
through the air. "Dead Scream."
Before anyone could find the source of the voice, a planet shaped ball of purple
energy crashed into Cassandra. She was unprepared and the blast was much stronger than
that of the Inner Senshi's.
Cassandra, now bruised and weakened, glared at the Senshi and pilots, not
bothering to look for her attacker. "We'll meet again, Sailor brats!" she vowed. Then she
was gone in a flurry of petals.
Everyone then looked around for their savior. The Senshi from the ground and the
pilots, from their Gundams. Someone then stepped from the shadows.
A woman held a large staff shaped like a key. Her magneta (sp?) eyes held
mystery, wisdom, and age that no human woman could experience. Her gaze was intense
and secretive. She wore a sailor uniform that was black and brown. Finally, she spoke one
statement to the silent Senshi and pilots. "It's time." With that said, she rose her staff into the air as her garnet orb blinked and blanketed the group in a red light, leaving no
trace of them.
* * * * *
The pilots and Senshi rubbed their eyes as they were transported to misty
surroundings. The landscape was gray and foggy. The group exchanged a worried look.
"Where are we?" Duo asked.
"How are we supposed to know?!" Wufei retorted.
"I wonder who that woman was..." Amy stated out loud.
"She looked like a fellow Senshi," Lita said.
"Yes, her uniform was like ours," Mina agreed.
"I'm not so sure," Raye put in hastily. "I felt something from her." (Always the
suspicious one, ain't she? ^_^)
Their attention was redirected as Duo let out an exclamation. "Heero! What are
you doing here?"
Sure enough, the perfect soldier was with them, standing a few feet away. If it was
even possible, his Prussian blue eyes were harder and colder than ever before. His look
sent chills down his companions' spines.
(AN: He was the lone figure following them in Chapter 5. He has found out the
Sailor Senshi's identities and he did see Cassandra.)
However, a voice answered for him. "I have brought you all here for a specific
purpose."
The group of nine turned towards the source of the voice, as some of the fog
cleared and revealed a beautifully carved door. In its archway, it had the engravings of the
phases of the moons and other intricate designs lay woven in its wooden surface. The
woman that had saved them stood in front of it, a serious expression chiseled on her face.
"My name is Sailor Pluto," the woman introduced herself. "I am the Guardian of
Time, Mistress of the Time Gate."
"How do we know that we can trust you?" Trowa asked quietly, yet firmly. "And
where are our Gundams?"
"You can trust me. As for your Gundams, they have been transported back to Mr.
Winner's mansion. Be assured that my intentions are not to cause you harm. My purpose
for bringing you here is so that the memories of your past lives may awaken."
(AN: I know. Pluto probably doesn't have enough power to transport five huge
robots back to the mansion but for this, she does.)
"Our past lives?" Wufei asked, dumbfounded.
"Ms. Pluto, can you please explain further?" requested Quatre politely. (A
gentleman till the end!)
Sailor Pluto smiled at the boy's kindness and answered his request. "You all have
lived before. My fellow Sailor Senshi as princesses of their respective planets. The
Gundam pilots as specially trained agents of the Moon. You see, Treize, founder of the
OZ organization, also lived during the Silver Millennium. He lived on Earth and had an
army. He thirsted for power and was proclaimed a rebel. The five agents were sent on
missions to prevent the growth of his rebellion and to possibly destroy it. So you see, your
past lives are very similar to your present ones." She looked directly at each pilot.
(AN: Let's see... Treize was reborn with all the other souls of the Silver
Millennium, if you still didn't get it. He had kinda the same personality, so that's how OZ
came to be in my fanfic. The war ended sometime before my fanfic started, okay? Also,
let's just say that Earth was already part of the Silver Millennium.)
The Senshi of Pluto continued with her tale. "When they weren't working, they
lived on the moon. There, they found love in Princess Serenity and her four guardians.
They were happy and content. Queen Serenity approved of their relationships and was
filled with joy to see her daughter with such a match. Unfortunately, Queen Beryl and
Metallia ended the hope for a peaceful future as the Moon Kingdom was attacked. The
agents tried in a desperate attempt to get to their machines to fight the incoming soldiers
and youmas. Treize had also launched an all-out attack the same time as Beryl. The
agents, too busy fighting, did not notice Queen Beryl preparing a deadly attack meant to
kill them. However, their beloveds did. Somehow, the young princesses managed to get
through the bloodshed and confusion to save their loves, losing their lives in the process.
The agents wept for the loss of their other halves but grief soon turned to rage. They
fought angrily and bravely against Beryl's army but were no match for her seven shadow
warriors. Queen Serenity had managed to seal away the enemy but the process was not
completed fully for her grief did not allow her to think straight. Metallia and Beryl awoke
again in this lifetime. All of you were also awakened so they could be defeated once and
for all."
As she finished her story, the Senshi had unshed tears in their eyes, while the pilots even had depressed and pained looks. (Yes, even Heero!) They all observed silently
as Pluto whispered a few words which could not be distinguished. Then soft music filled
the air. It was coming from Pluto's garnet orb.
(AN: The melody is 'This I Promise You' by N' Sync.)
It was as if the melody lifted a barrier from the group's minds. All of them
staggered a bit on their feet as images and events from the encounter at the skating rink
again flooded through. This time they were more vivid and the group knew what was
happening. They finally understood everything from their past lives. However, they could
not rejoice because Serena was not with them. As they thought of her, fresh pain once
again emerged in their souls. They all missed the bubbly girl who had been kind and dear
to all of them from the very beginning.
Pluto's expression changed from one of seriousness to one of sadness as if she had
read their thoughts. "Do all of you remember?" she asked softly.
Amy answered for all of them. "Yes we do, Sailor Pluto."
"That melody..." Mina trailed off.
"From Serenity's locket," Quatre finished.
She nodded. "What I am about to show you will disturb you. Please be prepared,"
Pluto warned them. She tapped her staff three times on the misty floor.
An image was projected from the orb. It was Serena in her school uniform. She
was smiling brightly at them.
Heero was taken aback slightly at the picture of his love before him. "Why are you
showing us Sere-?"
He was cut off as another image formed from the orb. It showed Cassandra
smirking. The images stood side by side. The Senshi and Heero realized that Serena was
Beryl's new general.
"Oh my god!" Mina exclaimed, turning her head away from both images.
"That's why she looked so familiar," Mars said softly, not wanting to believe it.
"Oh Serena," Amy whispered. "What have they done to you?"
Jupiter just clenched both fists in anger. 'I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.'
Pluto again tapped her staff and both images disappeared. "You must save Princess
Serenity or all will be lost."
"How are we suppose to save her?" asked Duo.
"You will know when the time comes," she answered. "Now, this wasn't supposed
to happen but it did. Today, you can see that she is much stronger than all of you."
The Senshi nodded. "Yes, our attacks did nothing against her and I couldn't find a
weak spot," Amy informed her. "The youma were stronger too."
Sailor Pluto nodded slightly. "That's what I have predicted. So, I have retrieved
these for you." Again, her orb blinked red and then four colored bubbles appeared in front
of her comrades.
Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter stared inside the bubble. Inside each one, there
was a power stick. This one had a gold star atop it with their symbol engraved in its
center.
"These are for your Star levels," Pluto told them.
"You mean they have higher levels?" Wufei asked, eyebrows raised.
Pluto glanced at him. "That question will be answered another day." She again
turned to the Inner Senshi. "Just grab your new transformation sticks from the bubbles."
The four teenagers did as they were instructed. As their hands touched the wands,
red, orange, blue, and green flashes erupted. As the light died down, the Senshi held the
sticks in their hands, each one still glowing their respective colors.
"You will know what to say when the time comes," the Senshi of time stated.
"Please... save our princess."
The small party of teenagers nodded their heads. Pluto raised her staff yet another
time and the orb once again flooded the group with its red light. However, once it was
gone, Heero was still left.
He glared at the tall Senshi. "Why am I still here?" he asked in a monotone voice.
Pluto returned his glance levelly. "I still need to talk to you."
"What for?"
"You are the only one who can bring back Princess Serenity. You are her soul
mate, her other half. I have something that might help you."
From her sub-space pocket, she carefully took out a heart shaped locket. It was
gold with silver engravings. On the back, it read, 'Our Love, Always & Forever.'
Heero quickly took the locket from her hands, turning it over and studying it. He
began to remember a particular time from the Moon Kingdom.
*Flashback*
Heero walked around the palace grounds. He and his comrades were not assigned
a mission that day so they could do whatever they pleased. In his hand, there was a small
box wrapped in gold paper. He passed the training room and he could hear heated
arguments from the inside. He smirked. It was probably Wufei and Raye as usual. He then
passed the open doors of the grand library, where he saw Amy and Trowa talking over
some book. As he walked outside, he could see Mina and Quatre by the small stream. In a
corner of the garden, Duo and Lita were studying various plants. As for him, he was
heading for the waterfall that had the beautiful rose bushes.
Sure enough, as Heero reached his destination, there was Serenity, sitting on the
soft green grass. Her eyes were closed as a warm breeze swept her long golden hair from
her face. The cool mist from the waterfall fell against her ivory skin. Heero slowly crept up to her and then sat down behind her quietly. He wrapped his arms around her still form,
marveling in her warmth.
Serenity opened her eyes in surprise but then relaxed in the familiar embrace. "You
do not have a mission today?" she asked.
"No," he answered. "But I have a gift for you." He changed the subject.
"Really?" Serenity questioned, excited.
"Yes." He handed her the box wrapped in gold. He gently rested his chin atop her
head, drinking in the smell of her hair. He watched silently as she tore off the paper and
opened the box. He smiled as she gasped in wonder.
Serenity gingerly took out the beautiful heart locket that Heero had given her.
Silver intricate designs of the moon and roses were inlaid in its surface. In the center was a crescent moon, its points facing upwards. She opened the top and an enchanting melody
filled the air. "It's beautiful..." she whispered in awe.
(AN: I already wrote what the melody is, but if you don't remember, it's 'This I
Promise You.')
Heero took one of her hands and grasped it tightly. "Read the back,
princess."
With her free hand, she turned the locket over carefully. She read the words
written in silver. "Our love, always and forever." Her eyes filled with tears of happiness.
She slowly turned around to face her beloved.
Heero felt her turn and he looked down to face her sapphire gaze. He could see joy
swimming in her eyes.
Serenity looked into Heero's Prussian blue eyes. She could see the love radiating
from them... for her. "I love you," she said softly.
"I love you, too," Heero replied. He gently caressed her cheek.
Slowly, they both started to lessen the distance between their lips. The music was
still playing for the young lovers. Their lips met in an everlasting moment, one that they
would always remember. It was the time when they vowed that they would always find
each other again, no matter what happened.
*End Flashback*
The Senshi of time watched as the young teenager before her gazed at the locket
longingly. His mask had come off sometime during his remembrance. She saw pain,
depression, and love all in one. She almost winced at how much pain there was. She felt
sorry for the pilot. What he must be going through right now. She hoped that he would be
able to bring the princess back. Everything counted on him.
Heero blinked a couple of times as his flashback ended. He sighed. He wanted
Serena back. They never really had a chance to be alone together, except for that time in
the elevator. Then he remembered that Pluto was still there. He quickly put up his
emotionless barriers. He looked up at her steadily.
Pluto returned the young man's gaze and sighed in her mind. That boy was really
going through a lot. "Good luck." The orb bathed him in its red light and Heero then
disappeared. "You're going to need it."
* * * * *
Cassandra slammed her fist down on her dresser in frustration. 'Why couldn't I kill
them?' she thought angrily. 'They're just a bunch of nuisances.' She looked into her
mirror. 'Who was my attacker anyway? Whoever it was, he or she was much stronger
than those pathetic Inner Senshi, that's for sure.'
"My, my, my. Someone's a little angry," a voice taunted.
Cassandra growled in her throat as she whirled around. "Get out of my room,
Malachite."
"Thought it was going to be easy to destroy those annoying pests, didn't you," he
questioned, ignoring her order.
"I almost killed them but someone got in the way," she retorted.
"Who did?"
"I don't know. I left before I could see him or her," she informed him. "Whoever's
attack that was, it weakened me greatly."
Malachite stared at her. "You better be on your guard."
She rolled her eyes. "Yes, oh great one," she said sarcastically.
Malachite gave her another glare and then stomped out the door.
Cassandra sighed and sat down in her dresser's chair. She once again looked in the
mirror. 'What am I missing?' Her dull blue eyes flickered for a moment and you could see
sadness. But as fast as it had come, it was gone.
End of Chapter 5 - Awaken
Coming Soon - Chapter 6 - Four Loves
Yes, I know. You're asking: What about the Inner Senshi and the rest of the
Gundam pilots? There hasn't been much romance for them. So, that is what my next
chapter is going to be dedicated to. All four Senshi and four Gundam pilots will have a
romance in the next chapter. That is why the chapter is named "Four Loves." Cassandra
will not show up in the next chapter. If I do choose to send a bad guy in the next part, it
will be Malachite. And no, Heero will not bring Serena back by playing the locket. And
yes I know it's like the star locket in the SM series. Anyways, preview for the 'seventh'
chapter, not sixth:
The pilots held back the Inner Senshi from helping Heero.
"He needs to do this by himself," Wufei said.
"He's the only one who can save her now," Trowa added. "We tried all we could."
The girls sighed, knowing they were right. They wrapped themselves in their loves'
embraces, hoping Heero would be able to save their princess.

Yes, I know. You're asking: What about the Inner Senshi and the rest of the
Gundam pilots? There hasn't been much romance for them. So, that is what my next
chapter is going to be dedicated to. All four Senshi and four Gundam pilots will have a
romance in the next chapter. That is why the chapter is named "Four Loves." Cassandra
will not show up in the next chapter. If I do choose to send a bad guy in the next part, it
will be Malachite. And no, Heero will not bring Serena back by playing the locket. And
yes I know it's like the star locket in the SM series. Anyways, preview for the 'seventh'
chapter, not sixth:
The pilots held back the Inner Senshi from helping Heero.
"He needs to do this by himself," Wufei said.
"He's the only one who can save her now," Trowa added. "We tried all we could."
The girls sighed, knowing they were right. They wrapped themselves in their loves'
embraces, hoping Heero would be able to save their princess.
