The Quest: Fighting Love
Chapter 3
~~In Tokyo International Airport : 11:30 A.M. the next morning~~
Mamoru had booked a 9:30 A.M. flight to New York City, the heart of Negaverse. What he hadn't counted on was Sailor Venus, the superheroine of Tokyo's incapability of being on time.
*I'm going to kill her when she gets here. You would think that being a super-heroine would make her a little prompt!*
While Mamoru seethed with impatience, Serena, being used to Mina's bad habits, sat calmly reading over the report that Mamoru had given her about the Negaverse. She gloated and laughed a bit over her sweet revenge. Having known that Mina would be late (and later than usual because Serena is not giving her a ride), she thought it would be good to delay their flight just to prove to Mamoru that he is not in total control like he think he is.
*For once, I'm glad of Mina's unfailing habit of being late. Oh, just look at him pacing back and forth! This is just too funny!*
Serena looked from the entrance to Mamoru. She couldn't help, but notice the way that his nicely tailored pants would stretch over his well-muscled butt and legs to accommodate his long strides. Neither can she ignore how his ocean blue eyes flash with emotions (mostly frustration at the moment), the way his raven black hair seem to fall on his eyes, and the air of pure male arrogance and command that seems to radiate from him. Entranced, she stared.
Mamoru looked over to Serena and found her staring at him. *Do I have something on my face? Why is she staring at me?* Looking at Serena, he saw her luminous blue eyes, her golden blond hair put up in her usual style, and her *ahem* interesting sleekly muscled body. *Wow!* He locked his gaze to hers' and found himself glued.
Serena froze as he returned her gaze. She saw such heart wrenching loneliness, such pain, and naked grief in his beautiful eyes. What happened to him that would damage his soul so permanently? Feeling a raging anger at the person responsible for hurting him, she communicated her anger to him.
He couldn't breathe. He felt uncomfortably peaceful just staring into her eyes. Eyes so like his mother's before the nightmare.
He was only eight years old, but old enough to remember the horror of that fateful day when his whole life took a drastic change.
*Flashback*
"I'm home, Mom. I got 100 on my Math test. Can I go to the park with Andrew now," yelled an eight year old Mamoru. At that age, all he ever had to worry about was if his parents would let him hang out with his friends.
He opened the kitchen door and it opened to reveal a sight that would haunt him for eternity. His mother was sprawled next to the counter with his father. Both were pale and dead. Both chests were bloody and it looked like someone tried to rip something out of it. Their dead eyes stared out with terror and pain. Shocked and crying he screamed for his sister praying that she's alive. As he searched the house, he felt his hope dwindle. His sister's gone, too. He's alone.
Suddenly he heard a sound behind him. He spun around quickly thinking that his sister was behind him and comes face to face with an ugly gigantic youma.
"Ahhhhhhhhh, Mommy, Daddy, Bessie help!!!!" Mamoru screamed as he ran. A symbol of a rose appeared on his forehead. It began to glow brighter and brighter sending out an energy beam. It hit the youma, but the youma was merely stunned. Sending an evil smile towards young Mamoru, it started forward. Just as Mamoru thought that he saw his end, a black hole opened from the middle of nowhere and a green haired woman in a black and dark green sailor suit leaped out whispering "Dead Scream" while she wield her staff. The staff sent out a globe of enormous energy and the youma was destroyed.
Safe, Mamoru studied the woman with pained eyes. Sadly, the woman looked at her future king and said, "I'm sorry you have to face so much pain, but ...." she trailed off and sighed, "This was not meant to happen, but I will deliver you to the SAAE for them to train you. I hope you're ready. Before we go, we will bury your parents first. Say good bye to them."
Mamoru felt like a bomb had struck his simple world. He staggered to his parents' bodies and wept bitterly begging for them to return. When he calmed down, he stood up and vowed, "I will destroy whatever that murdered you. I' ll find Bessie and those monsters will pay!" rarely had a child shown such hatred and pain. Sadly, they were the only emotions that he will show for years.
He turned to the green haired woman and said, "I'm ready, but where are you taking me?"
"To a place where they will prepare you to do what you just vowed to do. To your destiny," she said. With that, she waved towards his parents' bodies and they disappeared, "I have transported them to a hospital. They will take care of your parents' burial. Let's go."
Mamoru nodded dazedly and blindly followed the woman into the hole.
*End Flashback*
Their gaze broke as Mina flew through the entrance doors yelling, "Sorry, I'm late!" With blond hair flying everywhere, she lugged in three LARGE suitcases.
Serena laughed, "You're always late, Mina."
Mamoru was startled by the sound of her laughter. It sounded like tinkling bells and carefree as an innocent child's. Then something clicked in his mind, "You knew that she was going to be late and you didn't find it fit to warn me!!!!" an outraged Mamoru shouted.
"Oops," Serena said.
"You're damn right when you said oops. I'm going to kill you!" ranted Mamoru as he stalked off to get them new tickets all the while cursing himself for his stupidity and his own sense of gratitude to any senshi because one of them had saved him and been there when he needed her. He wanted very much to wring Mina's neck, but..........
Serena grinned in satisfaction. Mina, living up to her name as the Senshi of Love, found it interesting that Serena shows so much feelings near Mamoru. *They would make the perfect couple!*
As Mamoru stalked back with new tickets from a different airline for a flight two hours later, they heard a scream from Gate 5. Exchanging looks, they hurried to the scene. Mina dodged into the bathroom to transform while the other two hurried on.
Arriving at the scene, they saw THREE youmas terrorizing a tied up group of stewardesses and passengers. Some, like the kids, had been drained already.
Sailor Venus had caught up with them and as Serena pulled out her gun, Venus attacked. "Crescent Beam!" she said as she pointed a finger at a youma. Serena shot another one at the same time. This got the youmas' attention and they began their attacks. Mamoru and Serena shot at the youmas but only managed to stun them while Venus's shooting her Crescent Beams and tiring. Soon, all three began to use their fists as the youmas came closer and closer.
Serena was having fun with her youma. It was just too easy for her. She began to beat him up, but out of the corner of her eyes she saw that Mamoru and Venus are tiring. With no choice left, she drove the youma back to the window and shoved his head through it. Delaying her own youma, she ran to the people and freed them telling them to take the unconscious kids and run. Soon they were all gone and the youma that she shoved through the window began to recover. *So much for keeping my secret from Mamoru* she thought as she yelled, "Moon Silver Eclipse Make-Up!" Again her world exploded in silver lights. A moment later, Serena's gone replaced by an annoyed Sailor Moon.
Mamoru saw Serena beating up her youma and was impressed. *Wow! They weren't kidding when they said that she's dangerous on her file.* Then he saw her transform and was temporarily stunned. The youma took advantage of his hesitation and knocked him into a wall advancing towards him to finish the job.
"Hey! you big, ugly piece of slime! Come pick on someone your own size!" Sailor Moon cockily taunted as she took note that Mamoru and Venus are in bad shape.
The youmas must be semi-intelligent because they looked very angry as they advanced towards her.
