Keeper of Time
Silver Millennium Ends
by Kev Who else?
It's not know how many years, centuries, Millenniums, Months, and days passed until the Silver Millennium came about but it was a long time. By now it was obvious that our knight had been completely forgotten he was just an old legend. But the truth was he was still fighting still protecting both the gates of time and the solar system. Kev to those he came across was just an enemy or another face in the crowd. He did visit Venous when he got the chance to like he had promised and like he had promised she found some one who could love her and she loved though she never forgot Kevin. Kevin had made himself a small second home on earth where he went and relaxed for his time being. He helped quietly the Kings and Queens of the planets choose their knights and once in a while make decisions that would greatly effect the future. He was forbidden to go back to Pluto how ever after the King found out what he had done. Kevin watched from the Planets moon as events went on. He couldn't even visit his friend's grave or walk threw the garden or visit his old home that was kept how it was. He would cry every time he sat on the moon and watched it from the distance, he eventually just stopped going there it was too hard on him. It was towards the end of the Silver Millennium that Kevin finally made his presents known again. He was good friends with the Planetary knights of this time, they were all the same age as the Princess of their planets mostly they were a few years older then them. Kevin's more closer friend was the Earth Prince who was in love with the princess of the moon. It was a week before the final battle that they had lost the other outer Knights, Kev was the only outer Knight left alive.
"Hey Kev why you looking so down?" Endymion asked him. He was sitting in the garden on the moon where all of the Knights and Senshi had gathered, at least what was left of them. All of the Senshi were alive but the Knights were now dwindling.
"Saturn Neptune and Uranus are all gone..." Kev said softly.
"They're gone? But how?"
"Killed in battle..."
"This is not good..."
"No it's not, Prince Endymion I don't know what I can do to stop this any more."
"Then live your life! I noticed someone's been very carefully watching a certain princess."
"It's a job."
"It's a crush, why don't you go talk to her?"
"Arggg cause every time I try to talk to her something happens."
"If something happens this time then you can blame me"
"I will but I'm not going I have to figure out what is going to be done the only thing I have left from the others are their rings. I have to figure something out and when I do-"
"No you will not procrastinate any longer Kev Just hold onto them for now."
"OK OK you got me, I'll hold onto them and I'll go speak to her..."
"You know where she is."
"Yes I do..." He said he stood up and he now wore what he normally wore under his robes. A gray muscle shirt and baggy black pants and tall brown boots. He looked down at him self. "Ummm what should I wear? I mean I can't go up to her in my robes that might give me away and this is just my home drab... I never had to wear much else..." He said. The Prince laughed at his sort of innocents.
"You should wear maybe something similar to my own knight uniform but dark Green with magenta instead of black and pail blue." He said. "I know you can use your magic to do that." He said before Kevin could protest. He sighed and closed his eyes and then whispered a single word.
"Change." Was all he said and he was then wearing a pair of black green pants and a black green shirt lined with a deep red. "Should I make my hair grow longer and look like you?"
"Your hair spikes up too much to be like mine." Endymion told him. "Now go talk to Setsuna she seems a little down her self." He said pushing him off.
"YES SIR!" Kev said with a salute. He marched off and towards where Setsuna was sitting alone in the garden. "You look lonely there by your self." He said. She jumped startled at the young looking man with the ash blond hair and the blue eyes.
"You startled me..." She said.
"Sorry I didn't mean to I forget how silent I walk." He told her embraced slightly.
"It's OK you can sit if you want." She said making room for him. Some how he seemed familiar but she didn't know from where or how she would have known him.
"Thank you, mind telling me what is on your mind." He asked sitting next to her.
"It's nothing... Mind if I ask you your name?"
"Kevin and I know you are Setsuna princess of Pluto."
"How do you know?"
"I make it my business to know."
"I see..."
"Dose this trouble you?"
"No I'm worried bout the future..."
"Aren't we all?"
"Yes with this battle going on..."
"And people dying..." He said remembering the 3 fallen knights. "I just hate to think about whom is next... I hate to see the grim future that we have."
"Me too... Excuse me I have a job I have to do." She said standing up. She walked off and then teleported to the Gate's of time heshining into the Senshi of Pluto. She couldn't tell who he was or even where he came from. It was like he didn't exist.
"Damn it why dose this always happen to me? What have I ever done that was so wrong?" He said. He sighed and stood up slowly.
"I know what you did wrong you chose the wrong side!" A voice said to his right. Before Kevin could do a thing he was blasted by evil energy. Jadeite laughed as he saw the man on the ground.
"Jeez why did you have to go and pick on me..." Kevin said he slowly stood up.
"Why's that? You think your something special?"
"I am..." he stood up slowly on his own two feet, he started to glow an eerie black green. "I am the Pluto Knight!" He said as he suddenly transformed with a black green flash of light.
"So I've finally found you... My Queen sent me after you I want those objects that you took from your other fallen knights." He said as her readied to blast the knight again.
"Not in this lifetime Jadeite." He said. Jadeite fired at him and he deflected it with his sword. "I will not be easy to destroy." He said his eyes narrowing.
"I will have the personal pleasure of defeating you!" Jadeite said as he ran at the Pluto knight and repeatedly blasted him with all that he had. The Knight was quick to block most of the attacks but he was soon caught off guard and blasted back into a pillar. "Did that hurt?" He asked.
"Oh just a little..." He said. He got back onto his feet his whole back hurting. He smiled slowly seeing the inner knights appearing behind Jadeite. "But I think I just go all the help I needed now..." He said. "Isn't that right guys?" He asked the other knights.
"That's right Pluto." Mars said.
"We all fight with one of us is a fight with all of us..." Mercury said.
"So if you pick a fight with Pluto and that's picking a fight with all 4 of us." Jupiter said.
"And we all stand together." Venus said.
"To protect each other..." The Earth knight said.
"Teaming up on me eh?" Jadeite said.
"MARS INFERNO!" Mars said releasing several balls of fire at the General.
"JUPITER THUNDER SWORD!" Jupiter said raising his sword above his head and then bringing it down on Jadeite in pure lighting.
"AHHHH!" Jadeite yelled in pain as he was hit by both attacks. He was thrown against the pillar Pluto had once been; he looked down at him.
"Did that hurt?" He asked.
"Gurrr I'll get you knight all of you!" He said as he vanished. The knights nodded to each other and then looked at the Pluto Knight.
"Thank you minna for your help." He said with a bow.
"Pluto you have to be more careful now Jadeite knows who you are and I have a feeling that he's going to be after you." Mercury said.
"Hai Pluto be more careful..."Venus said.
"Hai I promise I will be more careful." Pluto said.
"The battle is still ahead you think we'll win Pluto?" Jupiter asked.
"I do not know my friends the future keeps on changing and so far not for the better." He said glumly. The knights nodded it was time for training for all of them but the Pluto Knight. He was not required to train like the others as he was well trained already. "Get going guys you need to train." He said. "Don't worry for tomorrow is another day and hopefully the last day for our enemy. Tonight I hope to see you all at the ball tonight. He said with a wink.
"We will Pluto, see you tonight." He said.
Pluto Sighed heavily he knew that tomorrow was the biggest battle they would have to face every second of training was crucial. It was a bad time even the princess had been given their Heshin devices and had been trained for the last year incase they were needed in the war. Kevin changed back and sighed heavily, he only hoped that it would not come to that. He pushed several locks of blond hair out of his face and then made the long walk to the small house that the queen had set up for him on the far side of the garden. He was the gardener of the place keeping all the flowers bright and healthy weeding out the weeds every morning at the crack to do just that. He looked around the garden as all now seemed peaceful.
"Is this the calm before the nightmare?" He asked no one.
Upon entering his small house he was greeted by 2 dogs that were very happy to see him. He smiled and then took them off to a quiet place on earth to play with the two German Shepard like dogs. Things were quiet but happy, he didn't have time often to him self like this, and he some times he could put the world on hold and take's it's moment into his hear. (To which he could as he was the knight and he had learned to do just that when there was peace.) Right now he knew the ball was going on and he was missing it as well as the Pluto Princess. Or at least he thought. But that didn't matter she did not like him she did not care about him did she? He sighed and fell on to the grass and looked to the sky, the sky was blue the Grass was green the birds were happy and twittering some where's to his right. Both dogs jumped on top of him and licked his face and lied down across his chest.
About 3 hours later he sat back inside the small house, Kevin sat quietly reading, He knew how much people were enjoying them selves at the ball and what was going on at the gates. He was linked to the time stream it's self. He saw it suddenly a few Youma's making there way threw his garden, the garden he worked so hard on was being set on fire, trampled, and right out pulled like weeds. Kevin was steaming by now and with a quick transformation he moved outside and in front of them.
"You Monsters have no right ruining a garden like this!" He said angrily. "PLUTO DEATH TORNADO!" He said bringing his sword down in front of him the tip glowed brightly along with the symbol of Pluto on the sword it's self. Then the light took shape of a tornado and headed strait towards the shadow Youma's. The first one howled in pain as it was sucked in and ripped to nothing but shreds. He turned and looked at the other two Youma's. One was made of complete flames but looked once human, it's eye's were a blackened void as if they hade been burned out it's mouth was nonexistent as well as it's nose. That all changed when it opened its red mouth and let out a huge flame at the Pluto knight, his shoulder was burned to a slight crisp. Wincing slightly he managed to bring his sword down once again. "PLUTO DEATH TORNADO!" He yelled once again. With that another tornado formed from the tip of the sword and sucked the flaming monster right in tearing it apart.
"Are you hurting knight?" The last youma said. He looked at the ape like youma who stood up on his two feet. As he did he pulled up Kevin's most precious lilies.
"OK it took me 4 years to get those that big and you go pulling them out like weeds! That is uncalled for! I will not let you disturb the peace of this palace and the ball that is going on tonight, nor will I let you disturb the peace of this garden!" He yelled. The Ape like creature was swift and it was soon in his face and then it brought down its sharp claw into the Knight's shoulder that was burnt. He let out a yelp of pain as he stumbled back. With his bit of strength he had left he called out one last attack. "PLUTO NIGHT SWORD OF DEATH!" He called his sword turning black as the night the planet of Pluto appeared in it and as he brought it down cutting the ape creature in half it turned to death the youma was killed instantly and turned to dust and vanished. The knight stumbled towards his small home and threw the front door, he deheshined as he fell into the living room.
"Just a bit further your potion is just on that table over there." He said. Pushing him self up with his good arm. He slowly mad his way to the table covered in vials he picked up a small one filled with a silvery liquid and carefully poured it over the wound, it healed as it sizzled and bubbled like peroxide did over a wound. He sighed and then wiped his shoulder off with a rag on the counter that bubbled and popped and soon vanished. "OK reason number 2489 why we get rid of rags after we finished cleaning up." Kev said to him self. "Just a little nap for now..." He said falling back onto the floor and falling asleep. The two dogs made their way to him and soon fell asleep next to their master.
"Where is he? We need him to get us there faster." Mars said.
"Patients is a virtue dear Mars." Venus told him.
"Not one of mine though." Mars mumbled. They all laughed. Pluto had appeared behind them and was glad to hear at such a bad time they could laugh. He was going to miss them all he knew that for sure.
"We all know that dear Mars." He said speaking up. "Are you all ready to go?" He asked. They nodded slowly one by one. "Remember work as a team and all will go well." He said with a slight smile.
"Pluto will you watch after us all?" Mercury asked.
"Always have always will." He said with a nod. "Here I'll make you one last promise. All of you if something happens to you and you don't make it back then leave me one last idem and I will see you all have a next life a second chance to a better life." He said. This was the same promise he had made to the outers before they too died. He intended to do this for them all.
"You better dude or I'll come back and haunt your ass." Mars said playfully punching Pluto in the shoulder. Pluto smiled and then returned the punch.
"I'll be looking forwards to that." He said. "But now to get serious because it's time for the battle we've all been anticipating." He said in a serious tone. He moved his arm and crated a black hole a portal to the battle grounds. "Go and remember to be a team doesn't do stupid stunts." He said. He watched them all walk threw the portal including the prince who he stopped. "Endy, you have to come back alive there is one last thing you must do here." He said seriously looking down.
"OK I promise I'll come back then. We all will so don't worry." He said. Pluto nodded and let him threw. There was a sudden *TWACK* as a giant key staff came down on Pluto's head.
"OW! Geez what the heck was that for!?" He yelled from the ground holding his head. "Are you trying to kill me?" He asked. He knew she was there she had been there since he made the promise.
"You idiot you can't make a promise like that! You know that they are all going to die there why not let us help?" She yelled at him. "They have been training as well why not let them fight?"
"Because they are not ready... The knights are more ready then the princess are and I know that they will all die." He said sadly. "Every one is going to die and don't deny it you know it as well as I do. This time is over; every thing will soon be over." The Knight said slowly standing.
"We can give them a better chance though!" Pluto said. "Maybe we can change it!"
"We can't we were never suppose to interfere in the first place." He said. "Don't even think of sending them to help." He said as he walked threw the portal and closed it behind him. The Mars desert was the current battlefield against the 3 strongest generals of the 7. He looked around and watched the battle. "I can't let you get hurt Pluto... I suspend your powers of time until our battle is over here on Mars." He said. With this said Pluto Suddenly deheshined as she was trying to find the princess who were all gathered having lunch quietly.
"What what's going on? This can't be happing... if whoever that guy is doing this he will so pay!" She said angrily. Usually she did not have such a sort temper but then again no one had ever striped her of her powers before, so she was given all right to be mad.
Pluto watched from a distance it was all he could do it was all he was aloud to do. As Venus fell he took his ring, as Mercury fell he threw his ring to the Pluto knight, as Jupiter fell his ring and sword were taken. He ran to find Mars and Endymion Mars had killed one of the generals and him self and left his ring with Endymion. Pluto was quick to find Endymion and rescue him.
"Endy! Threw the portal!" He said opening a portal. He nodded and ran into the portal, as Pluto called out his attack. "PLUTO DEATH TORNADO!" He called out taking the line of Youma's that were attacking the prince. One of the Generals showed up in front of the knight and stole the bag of items that he had collected from the fallen knights.
"My Queen wants these for her self." He said with a smirk.
"NO! YOU WILL NOT TAKE THEM!" He yelled. He pulled out his sword. "PLUTO NIGHT SWORD OF DEATH!" He called out. His sword cut right threw the general killing him instantly. Pluto swiped the bag back and checked it all of the rings were there. He sighed and turned for the portal and slowly walked threw with his head hung low. "All gone but one..." He said softly.
"I told you if you had given the princess a chance they might still be alive." Setsuna said she slowly transformed into the Senshi of Pluto. The Knight had finally lost his cool, in this moment of anger and hurt, he pulled off the ring he had never taken off before and he pulled off his chain mail. He walked up to her, putting the ring in the bag and the chain mail onto her, then steeping back he looked at her.
"I give up here your so smart you take care of everything Setsuna I'm tired of this all I want to quit I'm tired of this sorrow I've caused today I'm tired of always being one that's blamed." With that he walked off on his own. Pluto was shocked that he had done that and was starting to feel bad that she had done just that, he had only been kind to her and done what was the best. She looked at the chain mail that she now adorned over her uniform, it was not heavy at all but there was something familiar about it. Then it hit her this was like the cloak she had been given so many years ago by a strange young man, Kevin Natio the Pluto Knight. "Was that him... and I was so rude to him..." She said. She started to tear up and sort of fell to the ground sobbing no one was around to talk to her or know what she had done.
"Baka Kevin, you've lost your temper and you shouldn't have had." He said standing at his doorway. "I need to go back and apologies to the princess." He said. He turned and headed back to where he had left the princess. Standing in his way was Jedite. "Oh man not now I don't have time for you Jedite."
"You have something I want knight." Jedite said ignoring him. He hit him hard with a huge ball of negative energy knocking him off his feet and into a wall out cold. With out his ring Kevin was human with magic use and human strength. "That was too easy... why was that to easy..." Jedite said walking over to him he kicked the fallen Kevin. "I see you don't have your ring so you probably don't have the others... but who dose?" He said. He knelt next to the knight. "Who has the rings?" He asked.
"Must protect Pluto Princess..." Kevin mumbled.
"Humm I'm guessing she dose." He said with a smirk. "All princess have a soft spot for their knight so I use him for bate and I get to kill him and get the rings all at once." He picked up Kevin and then he vanished. "Where to set this all up... I got it in the gardens on their own home planet! Oh what fun I bet he hasn't been there for ages." Jedite said with a smirk. He soon appeared on Pluto in the gardens. He placed Kevin onto his old friend's grave. "He'll be out for a while so I can go talk to the princess." He said with a smirk. With that he vanished again leaving Kevin where he was.
By now the others had found Setsuna who told them the entire whole story and now they were trying to comfort her. The strange thing was the chain mail was part of a Heshin and yet she was not heshined and it stayed with her. It was a reminder that Kevin was still basically heshined as the Pluto knight but he wasn't any more. She suddenly felt something was wrong and was quick to Heshin and so were Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus. Jedite appeared in front of them all.
"Ah look the little princess think they too can fight." Jedite said.
"What do you want Jedite?" Mars snapped.
"Just as fiery as your knight how sad he died just like you all will." Jedite smirked. This only got Mars all fired up even more then she already was. Pluto stopped her.
"Just what do you want Jedite?" She said. At her waist was the pouch that had all the rings, just what he wanted and came here for.
"That pouch with all the rings in it, for a fair trade if you're willing to trade." Jedite said.
"What kind of trade?" Jupiter asked.
"The knight of Pluto's life in exchange for the rings." He said with a smirk. "I have him back at home all safe and sound in the garden alls you have to do is come there Pluto and give me the rings and I'll give you your pathetic knight back."
"He's not as pathetic as you he could kick your butt if he wanted to!" Jupiter yelled.
"Yeah right you have 20 minutes and remember with out his ring his age will slowly creep up on him and he is older then you pretty Pluto." He said. With that he vanished and then appearing next to Kevin who was now in his mid 30's or so he looked. He was awake but dazed and crying as he ran his fingers over the writing on the grave he was on.
"Nickolas Muscovite..." He said softly.
"Who cares who that man was, you're my prisoner knight." Jedite said kicking him in the gut. Kev held his stomach in pain. "Yeah now you know what it's like to be just another worthless human."
"Shut up Jedite... I rather die then let you have those rings." Kevin said.
"Looks like you are going to either way." Jedite said.
"DEAD SCREAM!" Pluto called out from their right. The attack knocked Jedite off his feet and into a wall. "Kevin... Is that really you?" She asked walking to him. He was now in his 40's slowly gaining gray hairs that blended in with his ash blond hair.
"No, just go Princess Setsuna." He said he did not have much energy to move but he did slowly getting up. She smiled; it was just like him to be slightly stubborn about serious things.
"You can't fool me Kevin I have something that belongs to you..." She said.
"Give me the rings or he dies!" Jedite now had Kevin in a headlock. He was obviously getting older by the second as he looked almost 50 years old.
"Don't worry bout me get out of here... Jeez I never thought I'd really grow old..." Kevin said.
"Stop with the stupid jokes you moron." Jedite said.
"Setsuna run now leave I'll be OK maybe I'll return with the others..." He said.
"No don't say that! You can't die... Jedite I'll give them all to you but his..." She said.
"Hum tempting..." he looked down at the knight. "I guess 7 out of 8 isn't bad..." he said.
"No don't give him any!" Kev said. Now he was getting old and frail his hair was now white with age his face was wrinkled. "Please listen to me..."
"No I can't listen to you..." She said. She pulled a ring out of the bag his ring. "Let him go now and I'll give this bag to you..." She said.
"Don't be an idiot... don't give it to him..." Kevin said. Jedite let him go and he fell to the ground, she walked over to them and gave Jedite the bag.
"AH HA HA HA! AT LAST THEY ARE ALL MINE!" Jedite said as he pulled out a sword. He went to strike Kevin but Kevin was back to his 19-year-old knight self. Minus the chain mail that Setsuna wore still. Kevin smirked now he was in his full power again.
"Come bag." He said. The bag flew out of Jedite's hand and into the knights.
"Damn you! ARGG!!!" He yelled and he suddenly attacked the knight with a full rage. Kevin was able to block his every attack.
"Fighting in a blind rage will only cause your downfall... OK Oww that hurt..." He said as Jedite managed to cut his shoulder pretty bad. Kev kicked him hard in the gut. "That's for before!" He yelled. Suddenly every thing began to Shake the whole solar system was covered in a blinding light. Jedite was gone hit by the light. "It's over for now... the Silver millennium has fallen." He said to Setsuna. "Go back to the gates! I will go to the palace I have one thing left to do before I go." He said. He clutched the bag in his hand. She nodded and headed off threw a time warp. Kevin made a portal to the moon where every one who had died then was being sent off. "Wait my queen I need you to send these to the future the same one as they are going to please I promised them." He said. She smiled and nodded and then sent the souls and matching rings to the future.
"Take care Kevin watch over them for me..." She said softly.
"I will I always will my queen." He said. With that he too was gone to sleep a long sleep in the gates of time in his own room. His dogs sent with him, as they were like him gifts from Coronus himself years ago. He slept for many peaceful years.

It's not know how many years, centuries, Millenniums, Months, and days passed until the Silver Millennium came about but it was a long time. By now it was obvious that our knight had been completely forgotten he was just an old legend. But the truth was he was still fighting still protecting both the gates of time and the solar system.

He couldn't even visit his friend's grave or walk threw the garden or visit his old home that was kept how it was. He would cry every time he sat on the moon and watched it from the distance, he eventually just stopped going there it was too hard on him.

Kevin's more closer friend was the Earth Prince who was in love with the princess of the moon. It was a week before the final battle that they had lost the other outer Knights, Kev was the only outer Knight left alive.
"Hey Kev why you looking so down?" Endymion asked him. He was sitting in the garden on the moon where all of the Knights and Senshi had gathered, at least what was left of them. All of the Senshi were alive but the Knights were now dwindling.
"Saturn Neptune and Uranus are all gone..." Kev said softly.
"They're gone? But how?"
"Killed in battle..."
"This is not good..."
"No it's not, Prince Endymion I don't know what I can do to stop this any more."
"Then live your life! I noticed someone's been very carefully watching a certain princess."
"It's a job."
"It's a crush, why don't you go talk to her?"
"Arggg cause every time I try to talk to her something happens."
"If something happens this time then you can blame me"
"I will but I'm not going I have to figure out what is going to be done the only thing I have left from the others are their rings. I have to figure something out and when I do-"
"No you will not procrastinate any longer Kev Just hold onto them for now."
"OK OK you got me, I'll hold onto them and I'll go speak to her..."
"You know where she is."
"Yes I do..." He said he stood up and he now wore what he normally wore under his robes. A gray muscle shirt and baggy black pants and tall brown boots. He looked down at him self. "Ummm what should I wear? I mean I can't go up to her in my robes that might give me away and this is just my home drab... I never had to wear much else..." He said. The Prince laughed at his sort of innocents.
"You should wear maybe something similar to my own knight uniform but dark Green with magenta instead of black and pail blue." He said. "I know you can use your magic to do that." He said before Kevin could protest. He sighed and closed his eyes and then whispered a single word.
"Change." Was all he said and he was then wearing a pair of black green pants and a black green shirt lined with a deep red. "Should I make my hair grow longer and look like you?"
"Your hair spikes up too much to be like mine." Endymion told him. "Now go talk to Setsuna she seems a little down her self." He said pushing him off.
"YES SIR!" Kev said with a salute. He marched off and towards where Setsuna was sitting alone in the garden. "You look lonely there by your self." He said. She jumped startled at the young looking man with the ash blond hair and the blue eyes.
"You startled me..." She said.
"Sorry I didn't mean to I forget how silent I walk." He told her embraced slightly.
"It's OK you can sit if you want." She said making room for him. Some how he seemed familiar but she didn't know from where or how she would have known him.
"Thank you, mind telling me what is on your mind." He asked sitting next to her.
"It's nothing... Mind if I ask you your name?"
"Kevin and I know you are Setsuna princess of Pluto."
"How do you know?"
"I make it my business to know."
"I see..."
"Dose this trouble you?"
"No I'm worried bout the future..."
"Aren't we all?"
"Yes with this battle going on..."
"And people dying..." He said remembering the 3 fallen knights. "I just hate to think about whom is next... I hate to see the grim future that we have."
"Me too... Excuse me I have a job I have to do." She said standing up. She walked off and then teleported to the Gate's of time heshining into the Senshi of Pluto. She couldn't tell who he was or even where he came from. It was like he didn't exist.
"Damn it why dose this always happen to me? What have I ever done that was so wrong?" He said. He sighed and stood up slowly.
"I know what you did wrong you chose the wrong side!" A voice said to his right. Before Kevin could do a thing he was blasted by evil energy. Jadeite laughed as he saw the man on the ground.
"Jeez why did you have to go and pick on me..." Kevin said he slowly stood up.
"Why's that? You think your something special?"
"I am..." he stood up slowly on his own two feet, he started to glow an eerie black green. "I am the Pluto Knight!" He said as he suddenly transformed with a black green flash of light.
"So I've finally found you... My Queen sent me after you I want those objects that you took from your other fallen knights." He said as her readied to blast the knight again.
"Not in this lifetime Jadeite." He said. Jadeite fired at him and he deflected it with his sword. "I will not be easy to destroy." He said his eyes narrowing.
"I will have the personal pleasure of defeating you!" Jadeite said as he ran at the Pluto knight and repeatedly blasted him with all that he had. The Knight was quick to block most of the attacks but he was soon caught off guard and blasted back into a pillar. "Did that hurt?" He asked.
"Oh just a little..." He said. He got back onto his feet his whole back hurting. He smiled slowly seeing the inner knights appearing behind Jadeite. "But I think I just go all the help I needed now..." He said. "Isn't that right guys?" He asked the other knights.
"That's right Pluto." Mars said.
"We all fight with one of us is a fight with all of us..." Mercury said.
"So if you pick a fight with Pluto and that's picking a fight with all 4 of us." Jupiter said.
"And we all stand together." Venus said.
"To protect each other..." The Earth knight said.
"Teaming up on me eh?" Jadeite said.
"MARS INFERNO!" Mars said releasing several balls of fire at the General.
"JUPITER THUNDER SWORD!" Jupiter said raising his sword above his head and then bringing it down on Jadeite in pure lighting.
"AHHHH!" Jadeite yelled in pain as he was hit by both attacks. He was thrown against the pillar Pluto had once been; he looked down at him.
"Did that hurt?" He asked.
"Gurrr I'll get you knight all of you!" He said as he vanished. The knights nodded to each other and then looked at the Pluto Knight.
"Thank you minna for your help." He said with a bow.
"Pluto you have to be more careful now Jadeite knows who you are and I have a feeling that he's going to be after you." Mercury said.
"Hai Pluto be more careful..."Venus said.
"Hai I promise I will be more careful." Pluto said.
"The battle is still ahead you think we'll win Pluto?" Jupiter asked.
"I do not know my friends the future keeps on changing and so far not for the better." He said glumly. The knights nodded it was time for training for all of them but the Pluto Knight. He was not required to train like the others as he was well trained already. "Get going guys you need to train." He said. "Don't worry for tomorrow is another day and hopefully the last day for our enemy. Tonight I hope to see you all at the ball tonight. He said with a wink.
"We will Pluto, see you tonight." He said.
Pluto Sighed heavily he knew that tomorrow was the biggest battle they would have to face every second of training was crucial. It was a bad time even the princess had been given their Heshin devices and had been trained for the last year incase they were needed in the war. Kevin changed back and sighed heavily, he only hoped that it would not come to that. He pushed several locks of blond hair out of his face and then made the long walk to the small house that the queen had set up for him on the far side of the garden. He was the gardener of the place keeping all the flowers bright and healthy weeding out the weeds every morning at the crack to do just that. He looked around the garden as all now seemed peaceful.
"Is this the calm before the nightmare?" He asked no one.
Upon entering his small house he was greeted by 2 dogs that were very happy to see him. He smiled and then took them off to a quiet place on earth to play with the two German Shepard like dogs. Things were quiet but happy, he didn't have time often to him self like this, and he some times he could put the world on hold and take's it's moment into his hear. (To which he could as he was the knight and he had learned to do just that when there was peace.) Right now he knew the ball was going on and he was missing it as well as the Pluto Princess. Or at least he thought. But that didn't matter she did not like him she did not care about him did she? He sighed and fell on to the grass and looked to the sky, the sky was blue the Grass was green the birds were happy and twittering some where's to his right. Both dogs jumped on top of him and licked his face and lied down across his chest.
About 3 hours later he sat back inside the small house, Kevin sat quietly reading, He knew how much people were enjoying them selves at the ball and what was going on at the gates. He was linked to the time stream it's self. He saw it suddenly a few Youma's making there way threw his garden, the garden he worked so hard on was being set on fire, trampled, and right out pulled like weeds. Kevin was steaming by now and with a quick transformation he moved outside and in front of them.
"You Monsters have no right ruining a garden like this!" He said angrily. "PLUTO DEATH TORNADO!" He said bringing his sword down in front of him the tip glowed brightly along with the symbol of Pluto on the sword it's self. Then the light took shape of a tornado and headed strait towards the shadow Youma's. The first one howled in pain as it was sucked in and ripped to nothing but shreds. He turned and looked at the other two Youma's. One was made of complete flames but looked once human, it's eye's were a blackened void as if they hade been burned out it's mouth was nonexistent as well as it's nose. That all changed when it opened its red mouth and let out a huge flame at the Pluto knight, his shoulder was burned to a slight crisp. Wincing slightly he managed to bring his sword down once again. "PLUTO DEATH TORNADO!" He yelled once again. With that another tornado formed from the tip of the sword and sucked the flaming monster right in tearing it apart.
"Are you hurting knight?" The last youma said. He looked at the ape like youma who stood up on his two feet. As he did he pulled up Kevin's most precious lilies.
"OK it took me 4 years to get those that big and you go pulling them out like weeds! That is uncalled for! I will not let you disturb the peace of this palace and the ball that is going on tonight, nor will I let you disturb the peace of this garden!" He yelled. The Ape like creature was swift and it was soon in his face and then it brought down its sharp claw into the Knight's shoulder that was burnt. He let out a yelp of pain as he stumbled back. With his bit of strength he had left he called out one last attack. "PLUTO NIGHT SWORD OF DEATH!" He called his sword turning black as the night the planet of Pluto appeared in it and as he brought it down cutting the ape creature in half it turned to death the youma was killed instantly and turned to dust and vanished. The knight stumbled towards his small home and threw the front door, he deheshined as he fell into the living room.
"Just a bit further your potion is just on that table over there." He said. Pushing him self up with his good arm. He slowly mad his way to the table covered in vials he picked up a small one filled with a silvery liquid and carefully poured it over the wound, it healed as it sizzled and bubbled like peroxide did over a wound. He sighed and then wiped his shoulder off with a rag on the counter that bubbled and popped and soon vanished. "OK reason number 2489 why we get rid of rags after we finished cleaning up." Kev said to him self. "Just a little nap for now..." He said falling back onto the floor and falling asleep. The two dogs made their way to him and soon fell asleep next to their master.
"Where is he? We need him to get us there faster." Mars said.
"Patients is a virtue dear Mars." Venus told him.
"Not one of mine though." Mars mumbled. They all laughed. Pluto had appeared behind them and was glad to hear at such a bad time they could laugh. He was going to miss them all he knew that for sure.
"We all know that dear Mars." He said speaking up. "Are you all ready to go?" He asked. They nodded slowly one by one. "Remember work as a team and all will go well." He said with a slight smile.
"Pluto will you watch after us all?" Mercury asked.
"Always have always will." He said with a nod. "Here I'll make you one last promise. All of you if something happens to you and you don't make it back then leave me one last idem and I will see you all have a next life a second chance to a better life." He said. This was the same promise he had made to the outers before they too died. He intended to do this for them all.
"You better dude or I'll come back and haunt your ass." Mars said playfully punching Pluto in the shoulder. Pluto smiled and then returned the punch.
"I'll be looking forwards to that." He said. "But now to get serious because it's time for the battle we've all been anticipating." He said in a serious tone. He moved his arm and crated a black hole a portal to the battle grounds. "Go and remember to be a team doesn't do stupid stunts." He said. He watched them all walk threw the portal including the prince who he stopped. "Endy, you have to come back alive there is one last thing you must do here." He said seriously looking down.
"OK I promise I'll come back then. We all will so don't worry." He said. Pluto nodded and let him threw. There was a sudden *TWACK* as a giant key staff came down on Pluto's head.
"OW! Geez what the heck was that for!?" He yelled from the ground holding his head. "Are you trying to kill me?" He asked. He knew she was there she had been there since he made the promise.
"You idiot you can't make a promise like that! You know that they are all going to die there why not let us help?" She yelled at him. "They have been training as well why not let them fight?"
"Because they are not ready... The knights are more ready then the princess are and I know that they will all die." He said sadly. "Every one is going to die and don't deny it you know it as well as I do. This time is over; every thing will soon be over." The Knight said slowly standing.
"We can give them a better chance though!" Pluto said. "Maybe we can change it!"
"We can't we were never suppose to interfere in the first place." He said. "Don't even think of sending them to help." He said as he walked threw the portal and closed it behind him. The Mars desert was the current battlefield against the 3 strongest generals of the 7. He looked around and watched the battle. "I can't let you get hurt Pluto... I suspend your powers of time until our battle is over here on Mars." He said. With this said Pluto Suddenly deheshined as she was trying to find the princess who were all gathered having lunch quietly.
"What what's going on? This can't be happing... if whoever that guy is doing this he will so pay!" She said angrily. Usually she did not have such a sort temper but then again no one had ever striped her of her powers before, so she was given all right to be mad.
Pluto watched from a distance it was all he could do it was all he was aloud to do. As Venus fell he took his ring, as Mercury fell he threw his ring to the Pluto knight, as Jupiter fell his ring and sword were taken. He ran to find Mars and Endymion Mars had killed one of the generals and him self and left his ring with Endymion. Pluto was quick to find Endymion and rescue him.
"Endy! Threw the portal!" He said opening a portal. He nodded and ran into the portal, as Pluto called out his attack. "PLUTO DEATH TORNADO!" He called out taking the line of Youma's that were attacking the prince. One of the Generals showed up in front of the knight and stole the bag of items that he had collected from the fallen knights.
"My Queen wants these for her self." He said with a smirk.
"NO! YOU WILL NOT TAKE THEM!" He yelled. He pulled out his sword. "PLUTO NIGHT SWORD OF DEATH!" He called out. His sword cut right threw the general killing him instantly. Pluto swiped the bag back and checked it all of the rings were there. He sighed and turned for the portal and slowly walked threw with his head hung low. "All gone but one..." He said softly.
"I told you if you had given the princess a chance they might still be alive." Setsuna said she slowly transformed into the Senshi of Pluto. The Knight had finally lost his cool, in this moment of anger and hurt, he pulled off the ring he had never taken off before and he pulled off his chain mail. He walked up to her, putting the ring in the bag and the chain mail onto her, then steeping back he looked at her.
"I give up here your so smart you take care of everything Setsuna I'm tired of this all I want to quit I'm tired of this sorrow I've caused today I'm tired of always being one that's blamed." With that he walked off on his own. Pluto was shocked that he had done that and was starting to feel bad that she had done just that, he had only been kind to her and done what was the best. She looked at the chain mail that she now adorned over her uniform, it was not heavy at all but there was something familiar about it. Then it hit her this was like the cloak she had been given so many years ago by a strange young man, Kevin Natio the Pluto Knight. "Was that him... and I was so rude to him..." She said. She started to tear up and sort of fell to the ground sobbing no one was around to talk to her or know what she had done.
"Baka Kevin, you've lost your temper and you shouldn't have had." He said standing at his doorway. "I need to go back and apologies to the princess." He said. He turned and headed back to where he had left the princess. Standing in his way was Jedite. "Oh man not now I don't have time for you Jedite."
"You have something I want knight." Jedite said ignoring him. He hit him hard with a huge ball of negative energy knocking him off his feet and into a wall out cold. With out his ring Kevin was human with magic use and human strength. "That was too easy... why was that to easy..." Jedite said walking over to him he kicked the fallen Kevin. "I see you don't have your ring so you probably don't have the others... but who dose?" He said. He knelt next to the knight. "Who has the rings?" He asked.
"Must protect Pluto Princess..." Kevin mumbled.
"Humm I'm guessing she dose." He said with a smirk. "All princess have a soft spot for their knight so I use him for bate and I get to kill him and get the rings all at once." He picked up Kevin and then he vanished. "Where to set this all up... I got it in the gardens on their own home planet! Oh what fun I bet he hasn't been there for ages." Jedite said with a smirk. He soon appeared on Pluto in the gardens. He placed Kevin onto his old friend's grave. "He'll be out for a while so I can go talk to the princess." He said with a smirk. With that he vanished again leaving Kevin where he was.
By now the others had found Setsuna who told them the entire whole story and now they were trying to comfort her. The strange thing was the chain mail was part of a Heshin and yet she was not heshined and it stayed with her. It was a reminder that Kevin was still basically heshined as the Pluto knight but he wasn't any more. She suddenly felt something was wrong and was quick to Heshin and so were Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus. Jedite appeared in front of them all.
"Ah look the little princess think they too can fight." Jedite said.
"What do you want Jedite?" Mars snapped.
"Just as fiery as your knight how sad he died just like you all will." Jedite smirked. This only got Mars all fired up even more then she already was. Pluto stopped her.
"Just what do you want Jedite?" She said. At her waist was the pouch that had all the rings, just what he wanted and came here for.
"That pouch with all the rings in it, for a fair trade if you're willing to trade." Jedite said.
"What kind of trade?" Jupiter asked.
"The knight of Pluto's life in exchange for the rings." He said with a smirk. "I have him back at home all safe and sound in the garden alls you have to do is come there Pluto and give me the rings and I'll give you your pathetic knight back."
"He's not as pathetic as you he could kick your butt if he wanted to!" Jupiter yelled.
"Yeah right you have 20 minutes and remember with out his ring his age will slowly creep up on him and he is older then you pretty Pluto." He said. With that he vanished and then appearing next to Kevin who was now in his mid 30's or so he looked. He was awake but dazed and crying as he ran his fingers over the writing on the grave he was on.
"Nickolas Muscovite..." He said softly.
"Who cares who that man was, you're my prisoner knight." Jedite said kicking him in the gut. Kev held his stomach in pain. "Yeah now you know what it's like to be just another worthless human."
"Shut up Jedite... I rather die then let you have those rings." Kevin said.
"Looks like you are going to either way." Jedite said.
"DEAD SCREAM!" Pluto called out from their right. The attack knocked Jedite off his feet and into a wall. "Kevin... Is that really you?" She asked walking to him. He was now in his 40's slowly gaining gray hairs that blended in with his ash blond hair.
"No, just go Princess Setsuna." He said he did not have much energy to move but he did slowly getting up. She smiled; it was just like him to be slightly stubborn about serious things.
"You can't fool me Kevin I have something that belongs to you..." She said.
"Give me the rings or he dies!" Jedite now had Kevin in a headlock. He was obviously getting older by the second as he looked almost 50 years old.
"Don't worry bout me get out of here... Jeez I never thought I'd really grow old..." Kevin said.
"Stop with the stupid jokes you moron." Jedite said.
"Setsuna run now leave I'll be OK maybe I'll return with the others..." He said.
"No don't say that! You can't die... Jedite I'll give them all to you but his..." She said.
"Hum tempting..." he looked down at the knight. "I guess 7 out of 8 isn't bad..." he said.
"No don't give him any!" Kev said. Now he was getting old and frail his hair was now white with age his face was wrinkled. "Please listen to me..."
"No I can't listen to you..." She said. She pulled a ring out of the bag his ring. "Let him go now and I'll give this bag to you..." She said.
"Don't be an idiot... don't give it to him..." Kevin said. Jedite let him go and he fell to the ground, she walked over to them and gave Jedite the bag.
"AH HA HA HA! AT LAST THEY ARE ALL MINE!" Jedite said as he pulled out a sword. He went to strike Kevin but Kevin was back to his 19-year-old knight self. Minus the chain mail that Setsuna wore still. Kevin smirked now he was in his full power again.
"Come bag." He said. The bag flew out of Jedite's hand and into the knights.
"Damn you! ARGG!!!" He yelled and he suddenly attacked the knight with a full rage. Kevin was able to block his every attack.
"Fighting in a blind rage will only cause your downfall... OK Oww that hurt..." He said as Jedite managed to cut his shoulder pretty bad. Kev kicked him hard in the gut. "That's for before!" He yelled. Suddenly every thing began to Shake the whole solar system was covered in a blinding light. Jedite was gone hit by the light. "It's over for now... the Silver millennium has fallen." He said to Setsuna. "Go back to the gates! I will go to the palace I have one thing left to do before I go." He said. He clutched the bag in his hand. She nodded and headed off threw a time warp. Kevin made a portal to the moon where every one who had died then was being sent off. "Wait my queen I need you to send these to the future the same one as they are going to please I promised them." He said. She smiled and nodded and then sent the souls and matching rings to the future.
"Take care Kevin watch over them for me..." She said softly.
"I will I always will my queen." He said. With that he too was gone to sleep a long sleep in the gates of time in his own room. His dogs sent with him, as they were like him gifts from Coronus himself years ago. He slept for many peaceful years.
