The Awakening

Luna sat on the floor looking around slowly. She glanced up at Matter and Fire with clear blue eyes, "Who are you, may I ask?" she said softly and politely. Fire and Matter looked at each other in shock and Fire looked at Luna with suspicion in her eyes and did not answer. Luna looked troubled and stood up hesitantly, "I must insist, what are doing in the palace? Does Queen Selenity know that thou are here?" she demanded. Fire gasped and looked at Matter,

"What could this mean?" she whispered, Matter shrugged. "Why are you asking us this! You had better explain or you will regret it!" Fire hissed pointing a long red nail at Luna. Luna took a step back and put a hand to her mouth. She seemed embarrassed, but then she flushed and looked angry.

"How dare you speak to me in such a manner! I am the royal advisor to Queen Selenity!" she yelled, taking a step forward.

"Iie. I am warning you, tell me what's wrong with you!" Fire yelled, she was getting frustrated and when she did, she got angry. She began to shine with a slight red aura. Luna backed up a step and crossed her arms in front of her, she paled and looked scared. "Why are you here?" she whispered. Fire took another step toward her, the aura peaked like a flame around her, she pointed at Luna again and her hand shook slightly, "You...had better explain yourself! Don't you know us?!" she yelled.

Luna gasped and backed up again, she looked side to side as if searching for an escape. She suddenly looked right at Fire and hardened her gaze. Her body suddenly seemed to shimmer and melt downwards. Both Fire and Matter gasped in shock and froze. They looked but she was gone!

"How did she teleport?" Fire yelled, she started to rise into the air, her anger was uncontrollable. 'How dare this busu treat my lover this way and then have the nerve to act like she doesn't know us!' she thought. Suddenly Matter yelled and pointed. There was a small black cat standing in the middle of the room. It looked up at Fire and almost seemed to smile, it then dashed out between Matter's legs and ran out of the room.

Matter looked up at Fire and shrugged. "It must be a coincidence." He sighed heavily and sat down. Fire smiled slightly and walked over to him, her aura fading. She sat down next to him and put her arm gently around his shoulders.

"Don't worry Matter-chan, I will always be here for you." She said softly. She lovingly kissed him on the cheek. He looked over at her wearily

"Fire-chan, what if Planet ever found out about us? She would kill us without a second thought." He said brokenly. In his mind, he saw many scenarios and his mind was close to breaking with the stress, he felt himself struggling to keep his sanity and Fire was the only thing keeping him from snapping right that minute.

Fire smiled and shook her head, "Wouldn't it be worth it though? I've never felt this way about anyone." She cupped her hands around his cheeks and turned his weary face towards hers. She gently kissed him on the lips and he wrapped his arms around her….

Luna ran down the halls of the palace and ducked into a open door. She transformed back into a human and put her hand to her throat as she gasped for breath, 'Why were they doing this to me? I have done nothing.' She thought. She suddenly realized how quiet it was, 'Where are all the servants?' she wondered. She cautiously stepped out and saw no one, so she walked quietly down the hall. She trailed her pale hand across the pillars and looked outside at the earth, 'Why does the balance of the harmony feel off?" she thought, she was worried, she had not seen one person since those two that threatened her. 'Could I have forgotten something?' she thought. She dimly remembered fighting with the brown haired man and..cutting him on the cheek and threatening to…kill him? She shook her head, there was no way she would have done this. But her feeling of disquiet remained.

She finally decided to go to the Crystal Tower and pray. She often did this when she was nervous. She walked quickly down the hall and stopped at the door to the prayer room, 'Why is it so dirty down here! The Queen would never allow this travesty!' she frowned and opened the door. There was a beautiful woman lying on the floor just inside the door, Luna involuntarily took a step back, the woman resonated evil vibrations. She pushed away her bad feelings and picked the woman up and laid her on a small bench just outside the door, she put her arms on her chest and noticed that one was a completely different color from the other, "What on the moon?" she wondered, she shrugged and walked back into the room.

She gasped and fell to her knees, the once tall and beautiful Tower was broken in half! The room was in disarray and filthy. 'How could this be!" she thought, she began to cry softly and she walked dejectedly up to the pillar and knelt by it's base, "Onegai Queen Serenity-sama, please help me!" she wept. She closed her eyes and then slumped over, in a dead faint. A small shimmer of glitter began in front of her unconscious body. A image appeared, it was Queen Serenity, a tiny hologram of herself. She stood by her trusted advisor's head and smiled gently, "All must be revealed." She whispered. She touched Luna on her crescent moon, Luna stirred and her eyelashes began to flutter. Serenity smiled, "It is done." She leaned towards Luna's ear and whispered, "Luna-san, my dear friend, I have helped you as best I can. Do not reveal all that you have learned until the proper time, for the future. Help my dear daughter and protect her as you always have." Luna seemed to smile in her sleep as her own body shimmered and disappeared. Serenity smiled, "Ganbatte." She faded away….

Planet staggered down the halls and she was obviously disoriented. She had woken up, lying on a dirty bench and she couldn't remember how she got there. "Mistress Luna!" she called, her voice echoing down the halls. "Where is she?" she whispered to herself. She rapidly felt her energy returning and she straightened. "Mistress Luna-san!!" she yelled. She heard a rustling behind her and a door behind her opened, she turned quickly. "Mistress Luna?" she asked,

"Iie." Fire said, she quickly stepped out and straightened her hair which was in disarray. Matter followed behind and the top button of his jacket was undone and his hair was messy as well and he was out of breath.

"Hai, Planet-sama?" they asked together bowing. Planet frowned and looked suspicious, but waved it off.

"Where is Mistress Luna?" she demanded, putting her hand on her hip. 'What is wrong with her arm?' Fire thought to herself, Planet's 'damaged' arm hung limply at her side, it was pale white and seemed weighted, she wasn't moving it at all. Matter just sweated and felt close to confessing the truth about Fire and him, but he kept his mouth shut with difficulty.

"Controllerplanet-sama, Mistress Luna-san was in the energy room with Matter-san and she attacked him. All of the sudden she screamed and lifted off the ground and then fainted! Then I came in and she woke up and she looked….different." she said, slightly puzzled. "She asked who we were and then she asked where…Queen Selenity was." She said, now very confused. Much to her shock, Planet paled noticeably. She turned and stared out at the earth, 'How did she revert?' she thought, very much upset. Mistress Luna was her ace in her battle against the senshi, and now she was gone. She shrugged, 'There is no danger in those pitiful senshi beating me." She smirked and turned back to Fire and Matter.

"Fire, go to earth, you had better get rid of at least a couple of the senshi, or you will have to face me!" she said dangerously, her eyes flashing black. Fire paled and looked down,

"Planet-sama, Water-san has already left. He is already there." She said nervously. Planet looked angry,

"Go down there anyway and make sure he beats them!" she yelled. Fire jumped and nodded. A tower of flame burst around her and she was gone. Matter looked nervously at Planet who was looking at him strangely. He looked down and brushed off his uniform.

"Dear Matter-san, you look particularly handsome today, ne?" she said in a languid tone, she started to walk slowly towards him. Unbeknownst to Matter, Planet had wanted him for a long time, and she intended to get him.

Matter's eyes widened at the familar words and his face turned red, he backed up a step and ran into the wall. 'This feels familiar.' He thought fearfully. Planet walked right up to him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, he jumped slightly, her face was inches from his.

"So what do you…feel like doing?" she whispered, she lowered her eyelids and looked amorously in his averted eyes. She kept her arm around his shoulder and started to walk towards a door a little down the hall. Matter tripped over his own feet and wouldn't look at her, he was close to cracking and was afraid she knew it. Planet smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Why don't we go in my bedroom to…pass the time?" she asked, smirking. Matter's eyes widened and his breathing accelerated,

"Nani? Doushite?" he said nervously, wringing his hands. Planet laughed and opened the door, revealing a huge bed with a lacy canopy over the top, the room was beautiful and decorated mainly in silver. She pulled him in, smiling.

"Do you know that this was the former Queen of this planet's room? It is laden with history. Isn't that….exciting?" she asked, shutting the door….

Rei and Karei sat on the steps of Hikawa-jinja talking quietly while Phobos and Demos pecked around their feet. Unknown to them, they were being watched…

Water sat high in a nearby tree watching the two girls. 'They are so beautiful, I wish I…" he whispered. He then shook his head, 'Iie, these girls killed my Wind-chan! They shall die." He hissed, suddenly changing emotions. He stood up on the branch and raised his arms. "Powers of the element water, come to me!" he whispered, water began to swirl around him, and just as Rei and Karei both paused and cocked their heads, and Rei turned to the tree, he threw it at them. They both screamed as the water struck them and they flew back into the wall, unconscious. He smiled and flew down to them.

He knelt by Karei's side and looked at her scratched, but still beautiful face. "Gomen." He said sarcastically. He leaned over and went to kiss her cheek…

"Venus love-me chain!" a voice yelled out, a chain of hearts wrapped around his neck and he was jerked back, landing in the dirt. He grimaced and sat up slowly. He looked up and saw Eternal Sailorvenus, Jupiter and Mercury, standing on top of the shrine.

"How dare you hurt my friends Karei and Rei-chan! For that, I will not forgive you! In the name of the love planet, Venus, I will punish you!" Venus yelled, posing. They jumped down and landed in a circle around him. He stood up and laughed.

"You're funny chibi venus-chan. He smirked, he rose his hands and started to spin as he rose into the air, "Water aid me!" he yelled, bands of water began to form around him. Jupiter quickly yelled, "Jupiter!" she curled into a ball and her tiara rose as green electricity shot to it, "Oak!" leaves of energy swirled around her body, "Shock!" she screamed and huge circle of electrified leaves shot out towards Water, it struck him unprepared and the leaves electrified the water around him and shocked him repeatedly, and he fell to the ground.

"Venus Love Halo!" Venus yelled in return, a halo of yellow energy struck Water on the ground. He screamed and steam actually seemed to rise from his body, as if the water inside of him was burning. He stood up shakily, "You will pay!" he said weakly as he disappeared….
