A Dreamer's Dream
by Tegasus
Chapter 11- "Don't leave me!"
"What the hell?" The gathered senshi looked up in surprise as
Dream Maker threw herself out of her throne just as it exploded. She
landed crouched and ready to fight as a dark figure materialized out of
the shadows. "Uther! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Uther
only snarled and launched another blast of energy.
"How DARE you call in the higher powers!" Uther snapped. "Did you
think that if you begged for their help, that you could save your
precious senshi? Nothing can save them! Nothing!"
"What the hell are you babbling about, Uther?"
"Maybe we could better explain."
Dream Maker turned around and her mouth dropped open in shock.
"Uranus? Pluto?" The two senshi stood in the doorway as if they had
always been there. Eternal Sailor Uranus and Eternal Sailor Pluto were
now dressed just like the others, except for two things. One, they were
each carrying a weapon, Pluto her Time Key and Uranus a sword, and
neither were wearing a tiara. Pluto had the symbol for Time blazing on
her forehead and Uranus had the symbol for Destiny on her forehead.
"Begone, Uther!" Uranus pointed her sword at the intruder. "You
have no place here!"
"I will soon enough, senshi! I will rule this place and Sailor
Dream Maker will be my slave!" He disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Uranus turned to Dream Maker with a strange expression of her
face. "What have you done, Dreamer?"
"What I was destined to," she said softly, then disappeared.

Lita floated in the darkness. Something was wrong. She shouldn't
be here. Where she should be, the girl couldn't remember for some
reason, but it shouldn't be here. She needed to be doing something, be
somewhere, but where?
The harder Lita tried to push her mind, the more difficult it
became to think. She felt as if her mind was being crushed. Someone was
trying to prevent her from carrying out her duty. But what was that
duty? She couldn't remember.
Pain. Agonizing pain. Lita tried to scream, but no sound was
heard. The pain increased and Lita knew that she would not survive it
much longer. She was losing it...
*Lita!* The pain vanished and a small light appeared in front of
the weakened girl. *Hurry, Lita! I can't hold this open for very long!
Your friends need you!* Lita took a chance and went towards the light.
This voice seemed to know who she was. Maybe they could help her
remember her mission! She reached out and touched the light.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Lita woke up on the floor of her apartment. As she sat up, she
noticed a broken plate next to her. 'Wow. I must of fell and hit my
head or something. That was one weird dream.'
"To recap today's breaking news story, Flight 197 in route to
Tokyo, Japan crashed, leaving no survivors. I repeat, Flight 197 has
crashed into the ocean with no survivors..."
'No," she thought weakly. 'Not again. I can't lose them again.
I'm not that strong. Mom! Daddy! Don't leave me!' In desperation, the
girl tried to stand, but collapsed back to her knees. She had no
strength. Even as she realized it, Lita felt her strength fade even
more. Something wasn't right. She shouldn't feel this weak.
"And why shouldn't you feel weak? That's what you are after
all, weak."
Lita raised her head slightly, staring at the dark man standing
in the front doorway. Who are you? The man just smiled evilly.
"That doesn't matter. I will be leaving here soon enough. I
just came by to remind you about what you have probably forgotten. You
do remember that you're supposed to be on a mission, don't you?"
My mission... I can't remember what it is...
"That's because you're weak," the man sneered. "You failed and
the ones you said that you cared about are dead. You weren't strong
enough to protect them. Even your dear mother and father thought that
you were too weak, that why they didn't take you on their business
trip. They were ashamed of you. Ashamed of your weakness. So, in a way,
it's your fault they died."
My fault?
"If you had been with them, they would have had to take a later
flight and wouldn't have been in the crash. Your weakness killed your
parents!"
"That's not true, Lita! You can't believe his lies!" Lita
turned in surprise to see a girl in a long silvery-blue dress standing
in the doorway to her bedroom. The straps of the dress came around the
neck and crossed once before merging with the bodice. The shimmery
material then fell loosely to the floor. Her long blond hair flowed
freely down her back, held out of her face by two small braids.
Who are you?
"You stay out of this, Dreamer! The girl is MINE!" The girl in
the silver-blue dress just ignored him.
"He can not take you against your will, Lita. All you have to
do is deny the Darkness and embrace the Light. He will lose all power
over you then. The choice, as always, is your to make."
I don't understand! Who are you people? Why can't I
remember?!
"You've given her enough help, Dreamer! Leave!"
"And leave her here alone with you!?! I think not!"
"Then I guess we should BOTH leave her to her Choice!" The man
laughed evilly, and the two disappeared.
Embrace the light... What did she mean? Lita sat there
for a moment, just thinking. There's someone.... someone I'm
supposed to be protecting... The pain was back. More excruciating
then before. It hurt to try to think. No! I mustn't give up! She
needs me! They need me! Lita pushed her mind further then she had
ever thought possible against the pain. Mental strength had never been
her specialty. That had been someone else. Amy. A mental flash of
the small, blue haired girl. Other faces began to appear before her
mental eye.
Raye. Purple eyes that dance with a hidden fire.
Mina. A ditzy blond, forever mixing her metaphors.
Setsuna. Red eyes, kind and all seeing, always holding
just a little bit of sadness.
Michiru. Aqua hair and the sound of a violin that plays
the ocean.
Haruka. A graceful tomboy who's always trying to race the
wind.
Hotaru. A girl forever haunted by what she has been and
what she can become.
Darian. Several lifetimes spent guarding his one true
love.
Serena... The Light of the Universe.
Just as suddenly as the barrage began, it ended. Lita was left
with a single image left in her mind. Serena. My princess and future
queen. The one, who in the end, I'm always fighting to protect. The one
we ALL fight to protect. Our leader. Our guide. Our light.
Lita felt the energy start to build inside of her body, but
this time instead of fighting it or focusing it, she just let it build,
letting the electric light find it's own shape.
The energy coursed through her, and with it came the knowledge
that she had been searching for. Her true mission. Lita felt the
electric energy begin to peak. It was time. Her eyes opened. "I am
ready."
"Jupiter Eternal Oak Power... MAKE-UP!"
The lighting struck.
Later, she would think back and wonder why there was no pain, but
the thought didn't even cross her mind now. There was no room for
trivial thoughts like that. She was in the middle of a sun. There was
nothing but light, but that light was the Universe. Her's to protect.
She was a Guardian too. Like Uranus, like Pluto, she also had a role to
play. She was the Guardian of Strength. Her duty to Eternally Guard
those weaker then herself. Even as she realized this, the Guardian once
known as Lita felt her forehead begin to burn and she knew that she was
once more marked for the world to see. The symbol for Strength would
not fade until she departed for her next incarnation. Dressed in her
new uniform, Staff in hand, Guardian Strength smiled. It was time to
greet the others.
Ok, that's all for now. I hope it didn't suck too much. If you want,
tell me what you think, I'd really appreciate it.
Ja ne!
