Sailor Echo: A Princess' Tale Chapter 3
Oh, how much I miss them. It's been several years since I saw my
dear
friends. I doubt they even remember me. After all, the last time I saw
them was when Jaerite and I married. I'll tell that story to you soon. But
for now, let me tell you about what happened when I moved to France.
----------------------------------------------
Sighing deeply, Karyana carried her bags into her new room. It was
bigger
and spaceier than her room in Japan. But she didn't like it any more.
"Mom, I got all of my stuff." She began to unpack. Her father had
promised that at least for a while all of his work would be centered in
France. He wanted his daughter to be able to have a good education and that
was not easy when they moved around a lot.
Mrs. Donelli stepped into the room. It was filled with boxes of
clothes,
toys and nick-knacks. "I hope you can find the time to straighten up in
here. Since we're staying for a while, you may want it to be livable." She
picked up a box and opened it. "By the way, Maverick will get to have a
room of his own. There's an extra bedroom."
The girl nearly fell over. "No!"
Her mother stared at her in shock. "Karyana? What's wrong?"
"I…" What was she supposed to say? That she didn't want her
guardian in a
different room? They would think she was crazy. "I mean…Maverick is so
used to sleeping in my room. Besides, what if we have guests? Where would
they sleep?"
"Hmm." Her mother nodded thoughtfully. "Alright. Just remember to
clean
his perch. It's very dusty."
"I will, Mom." Once her mother left Karyana sat down on the bed.
*Whew.
That was close. * She set down a bag of clothes and went to get her
feathered friend. "Come on boy. Time to see your new home."
----------------------------------------------
Jaerite came to her that evening while her parents were out.
Karyana
smiled lovingly at him. She knew that he was still too weak to have a real
body. He could be with her for less than an hour each day.
"Karyana-sama…" He sat on her bed. "There is an urgent matter we
must
discuss. It has to do with the Ginzuishou."
The serious look on his handsome face caused her to blanch slightly.
"What
is it?" She prayed that they hadn't run out of time.
"No, my sweet. Nothing like what I know you are thinking. In fact,
it may
help us to find the Ginzuishou sooner." He studied her face. "Maverick has
seen a vision. You will no longer be Sailor Echo…"
"What? Why?" Her face clouded over with anger. Had she not shaped
up
enough? Or did they feel that she just wasn't the right person for the
job?
"You have a new transformation." He stood and pulled out a
necklace. It
was the same one she had worn their last night on the Moon. "Take this.
Raise it and say 'Super Echo Power! Make Up!'"
She took the necklace. It took a lot for her to push back the
painful
memories the trinket provoked. "Super Echo Power! Make Up!" She rose in
the air and spun gracefully like a ballerina. When her transformation was
complete she looked at herself in the mirror.
Her boots were white with lavender trim and went up to mid-thigh.
The
short skirt was three layers; white with silver and lavender. Her white
gloves were long and trimmed with lavender and the sleeves were large, poofy
and lavender. The collar was lavender as well. To complete the outfit,
upon her back was a set of pale pink angular wings. Instead of a tiara she
had a crescent moon tattooed on her forehead. In her hands she held a pink
rod with two golden spheres on the ends; one had a golden 'V' over it.
Jaerite smiled at her. "You will be known as Super Sailor Echo.
Your
powers have been increased." He took her small hands in his. "This rod will
be the base for your power. It is not necessary to use it, but it can
amplify your strength. Use it wisely."
She nodded. She was Sailor…No. Super Sailor Echo. She would fight
for
what was right. And she would find the Ginzuishou.
"Help!"
The voice belonged to a civilian. Someone, an innocent person, was
being
attacked. She went to the window. The wings enabled her to fly. It took
her mere seconds to get to the scene.
"Stop!"
A man looked up in shock. He wore a ski mask and held a knife to
the poor
guy's throat. "Who are you?"
Remembering that the Senshi were famous in Japan, not France she
started
her speech. "I am Super Sailor Echo! I will not allow you to harm innocent
people! Say your prayers!" She raised her rod into the air. The words
came to her. "Echo…" She spun gracefully, just like a figure skater. She
did a perfect triple axle. "Surprise!" Beams of light raced towards the
man. They wrapped around him and he was pulled away from his intended
victim. As he was lifted into the air, sirens could be heard in the
distance. Several police cars came into view.
One policeman got out of his patrol car. "What's going on?" He
gaped at
the sight of the man suspended in mid-air by strange beams. "Monsieur?"
Confusion was written on his face. All he saw was two men.
The bedraggled victim crawled forward. *Whoever she was…I owe her
my life.
* "There was…a woman. She saved me from this criminal."
Sailor Echo retransformed into civilian Karyana. She was hiding
behind a
tree watching as the police arrested that man. Luckily, his victim was all
right. *He does owe me. And I know how he can repay me… *
----------------------------------------------
Brian Cartier sat at his desk writing. He couldn't get his mind off
the
girl who had saved him. If she had not come along, his wife and children
would have never known what happened.
"Monsieur Cartier…There is a mademoiselle here to see you." His
secretary
said as she opened the door to his office. A young girl with lavender hair
and silver eyes entered.
"You!" He recognized her instantly, despite the fact that she now
wore a
black pantsuit and her hair was down. He motioned for her to sit. As soon
as they were alone he spoke again. "You saved me..."
Karyana raised a hand to silence him. "Monsieur, there is something
I need
to ask of you."
"Anything…"
A small smile lit her whole face up. "I have done some research… On
you.
You are a very influential man in France. And I know that you have much
power over the media."
"Yes. In fact I own three television stations and two radio. Why?"
"I am here on a mission. I can not complete it if I am to be
continually
swamped by the media. And my mission is vital to save the Earth."
Brian stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Well, then I'm sure I can
arrange
for something…some way to keep people from hounding you." He smiled.
"After all, if it weren't for you I would be dead."
"Merci beaucoup, Monsieur." She stood. "I know that you are a good
man.
As I said…I did my research." She turned and walked to the door. "Au
revoir." As an after thought… "Take this." She handed him a small jewel.
"If you or your family ever need help, just call."
Gratefully he took it. He touched her hand as he did so. It was
warm,
like her heart. He didn't know who she was or what she was doing here. But
he knew that she was on their side. "Thank you…Sailor Echo." The last was
barely above a whisper.
Karyana smiled at him. Having allies was good. She went out the
door.
Once outside she slipped on her black sunglasses. One good thing about
France…You got plenty of sun. She walked to the apartment building Jaerite
was at. He had chosen it as their base of operations. And with his
abilities…
Knocking on the door, she went inside. Jaerite and Maverick were
already
there waiting for her.
"How did it go?" her Guardian asked. She reached over and ruffled
his
feathers.
"Great. He was more than happy to help." She went to the kitchen.
There
was only a bottle of water and a package of cheese inside. Sighing she made
a sandwich. "Jaerite, love…If you expect me over here, I'm going to have to
stock up on some necessities."
Her prince chuckled. "Well, I can only maintain this form for short
periods." He turned serious. "Maverick has news."
Karyana tossed her suit jacket aside and sat down next to Jaerite.
"What
is it?"
The great bird ducked his head. "Soon, a child will be born. She
will
have the same powers as you."
Karyana stared at him. "I…You said…"
"When you and Jaerite were this age on the Moon, you chose to
'expand' your
relationship. One night, a child…yours…was conceived. You have reached
that age now. In order for your child to be born, she must be allowed to
grow now. Otherwise, she will never be born."
"You mean…If I don't stay pregnant now…"
"Then your firstborn will vanish forever…"
----------------------------------------------
"Come on…Usagi-chan…answer." Karyana was desperate. She needed to
talk to
the Senshi leader. *She's probably asleep. *
"Kary-chan!" Usagi squealed. "What's up? Are you okay?"
"Usagi! Listen. It's important." She took a deep breath. "I'm
pregnant."
"NANI!?" The blond shrieked. "Pregnant! How!" A blush settled over
her
face. "Ano…I mean, I know how. Demo…"
Laughing, Karyana quickly explained it to her. Surprisingly, Usagi
understood. "What about your parents?"
"I'll be old enough to marry soon. I'll just say that she was
premature.
I just wish…"
"Kary-chan…" Usagi's expression turned serious. "I give you back
your
title."
"What?"
"You were the Princess before me. One day…when your child is older,
I want
her to be able to know who her mother really is."
"Usagi-chan…" Immense gratitude washed over her heart. ~The future
kingdom…Tokyo…Neo-Queen Serenity…~
The vision was unexpected. She had been told that her mother,
the
Queen, had the power of Sight. Apparently it had been passed to her.
"Usagi-chan…I will keep my title. But it is you who shall be Queen."
"Nani?"
"You will one day rule the Earth. Mamoru will be at your side. I
can not
tell you more. But I know you will be a fine Queen."
"When your child is old enough, I would welcome her as a Senshi. It
would
honor us."
Karyana smiled through her tears. "She will serve you. I will
train her
so that she will bring you honor, Serenity-sama."
"Sayonara, Karyana-sama…"
"You are a true friend. Never forget that."
She closed the link with Japan. *I could have told her about the
Small
Lady. But why freak her out? I'm surprised; she handled it quite well.
But then, she was…"
----------------------------------------------
"…a Princess born from the light of the Moon." I'm smiling now. I
still
can't believe how beautiful you are. So tiny and fragile. And you are
mine.
The Sleep is coming. I have arranged for us to sleep longer than
the
others. Your powers are great. They will be needed at a later time, when
the Small Lady is not so small. You will help protect the Earth.
"Karyana?"
"Here's your father." Still smiling, I'm handing you to him. Don't
worry.
We shall always love and cherish you.
"She's smiling." My darling Jaerite…my husband. Look at this
miracle we
have brought to life.
"She has your hair, dearest Prince." The way you look at me…do you
know
that you are a Princess?
"She is as beautiful as you, Princess."
Gently lifting you into my arms I go to your crib…It's time for bed.
After
all, we will be sleeping for a long time.
"Konninchi wa, Elizabeth Karyana Donelli. You are a Princess of the
Moon…"
The Sleep is here. It slowly yet gently claims us. I can feel my
dear
friends Ami, Minako, Makoto, Rei, Mamoru, Luna, Artemis and Usagi. They are
slowly drifting off. The Senshi of the Outer Planets Uranus, Neptune and
Saturn are also falling under the spell. Pluto is at the Time Gate.
Everyone on the planet is sleeping now.
"Sleep well, my loved ones…"
There is one thing I must do before I sleep. I go to my desk and
retrieve
a pen and paper. I start to write.
"Usagi-chan…I suppose I should say Neo-Queen Serenity. By the time
you get
this, you would have awakened the world with the power of your Ginzuishou.
There are many things I need to tell you."
Carefully, I describe in detail everything that has happened to me
since I
first became Sailor Echo. I want her to know that I hold no grudges against
her. She is part of my family and I love her dearly.
I continue…
"Serenity, my family shall sleep longer than everyone else. When we
awaken, I will explain it to you. My Ginzuishou has allowed it. On that
note, all of the Ginzuishou have been found. I will go more into detail
soon. Basically, like Galaxia was searching for Star Seeds inside of
people…That is where I found the Ginzuishou.
"I want you to know just how much you mean to me. I started out
life bad.
I nearly lost my way. But I have you and the others to thank for helping
me.
"Yes, my dearest friend…my Ginzuishou has been healed. I no longer
have to
worry about it losing energy. I have foreseen that I shall live for many
years. As long as I have my loved ones with me, that is all that matters."
It is calling me. The Sleep is curious as to why I am stronger than
it.
Soon, I will rest.
"Usagi…please, do not forget me. I do not care if I have my title.
I just
want my friends to remember me as I am now. I love each of you with all my
heart.
"My daughter has been born. I named her Elizabeth. She is so
beautiful.
When she is ready, I will send her to you to train as a Senshi. Already, I
can tell that her powers are immense. I believe she is even stronger than
I. She will be a valuable commodity.
"I must go. My husband and child are waiting for me to join them.
Soon, I
will join you again.
Karyana…"
Sealing the envelope, I use my power to send the letter to Usagi's
bedroom.
I can see her lying there sleeping. Shingo, her brother is on the floor.
Her parents are in their room. They are all safe. Still, I can not resist
using my powers to be sure.
"Ginzuishou…there is one thing I must ask of you before I sleep.
Please,
protect Usagi and the others. They must awaken…"
I walk to the bed. Jaerite is lying there asleep. How I love him,
my
prince. Elizabeth is in her crib. Everyone I love is sleeping. I must
join them.
I slip beneath the covers and rest my head on my sweet's chest.
"Good night, dearest ones."
Sleep claims me…

I just
want my friends to remember me as I am now. I love each of you with all my
heart.
"My daughter has been born. I named her Elizabeth. She is so
beautiful.
When she is ready, I will send her to you to train as a Senshi. Already, I
can tell that her powers are immense. I believe she is even stronger than
I. She will be a valuable commodity.
"I must go. My husband and child are waiting for me to join them.
Soon, I
will join you again.
Karyana…"
Sealing the envelope, I use my power to send the letter to Usagi's
bedroom.
I can see her lying there sleeping. Shingo, her brother is on the floor.
Her parents are in their room. They are all safe. Still, I can not resist
using my powers to be sure.
"Ginzuishou…there is one thing I must ask of you before I sleep.
Please,
protect Usagi and the others. They must awaken…"
I walk to the bed. Jaerite is lying there asleep. How I love him,
my
prince. Elizabeth is in her crib. Everyone I love is sleeping. I must
join them.
I slip beneath the covers and rest my head on my sweet's chest.
"Good night, dearest ones."
Sleep claims me…
