Chapter 11-
* * *
Once light was absorbed into the crystal, she brought the staff back down to touch the ground. Raising it high into the air with one hand, she spoke. "1000 years of sleep since death, The Princess awakens to summon her Lost Sailor Guardians. Princes of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, Princesses of Mercury and Venus, Awaken now and return to your Princess!!" she said. The crystal in the staff glowed and seven rays of light shot into the sky and flew toward earth. Yumi Serenity lowered her staff and looked at the other princes and princesses. "Is something going to happen?" Usagi asked. "Be patient, Serenity." Queen Serenity said.
Suddenly, seven kneeling bodies appeared in front of Yumi Serenity, their heads bent toward the ground. The Princes wore armor like the Prince of the Earth's, but theirs were the color of their planets. The princesses wore light, long, gowns that were the color of their planets, and all seven of them wore the symbols of their planets on their foreheads. Yumi Serenity smiled. "You may stand." She said and they all stood. "The 1st Crown Prince of Neptune, Prince Seto." Seto Kaiba turned and faced the others, smiling when he saw his old friends and comrades. Yugi's eyes widened. "Kaiba?" he said. Seto nodded at him. "Call me Seto, Prince Yugi." The other six turned around. "Honda, Jounouchi, Bakura, Anzu!" Yugi said, surprised when he saw them. He looked at the little smiling prince- he was not wearing armor, but instead an outfit like Yugi's that wasn't leather, but silk. "Yugi!" he said smiling. "Mokuba!" Yugi then looked at the other princess. "Mai!?" She smiled. "Hello, Yugi. Long time no see."
"Wait a minute. The Princes and Princesses of Mars, Venus, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, and Jupiter? But those planets already have Princesses!" Mercury said, stepping forward. Mokuba nodded. "Yeah, but like the Moon and Uranus' royal families, the other planets also have two children. The Moon and Neptune are just more special because three children were born to them. I'm Prince Mokuba. I'm your little brother, Ami!" he said. "My brother?" Mokuba nodded, smiling. "I am Princess Mai, the 1st Crown Princess of Venus." Venus stepped up and examined her. "Yup, you definitely look like a princess of Venus." She said. Mai sweat dropped. "I am Katsuya Jounouchi, the 1st Crown Prince of Mars." Jounouchi said. Mars looked at him. "Wait, Yugi's dumb friend is my little brother?" Jounouchi glared. "Who you callin' dumb?" Mars gave him the look she always gave Usagi when she was messing with her. "You, Katsuya!" Jounouchi growled. "Now, now. Down, boy." Jounouchi glared at Honda, who ignored him. "I'm Honda, the Prince of Neptune." He paused. "Hey, wait! Why am I Kaiba's brother?" he scowled. Yumi Serenity rolled her eyes. "You and he have been brothers for centuries, Honda. Live with it."
Bakura bowed politely. "I am Ryou Bakura, 1st Crown Prince of Jupiter." He said. Jupiter examined him, but said nothing. He smiled at her. "It's been a long time since I last saw you." He said. "And I am Anzu Mazaki, 1st Crown Princess of Saturn." Saturn nodded and smiled. "I remember all of you. You are in my old selves memory." She said, confusing mostly Usagi, Minako, and Rae. "Now that you have been reacquainted, I have some things to explain." Yumi Serenity said. She turned around and walked towards a piece of a wall that had writing on it. She touched it with the staff and stepped to the side, so the others could watch as the writings began to glow and melted into a mirror of memories.
"10026 years ago, the time of peace and prosperity of the Silver Millennium was interrupted by an evil queen. Her name was Karla. She was born in a small kingdom on one of Jupiter's moons. Her kingdom was so small that it was soon diminished, its occupants fleeing to live on Jupiter. Her parents became ill and died, leaving her alone. Years after that, she had become very powerful and came to the moon, seeking to conquer it and make the universe her own." Yumi Serenity began to explain, a picture coming on the mirror, showing Karla bursting into the throne room, where a party was being held.
* * *
A young maiden burst through the doors, past the guards, into the throne room of Queen Serenity. Her long black hair flowing behind her. Her black eyes glared at all of the people blocking her way to the throne. They all gasped and moved quickly and she swiftly up to the Queen. "Karla, what are you doing?" Queen Serenity demanded. "I wasn't invited to your little party?" she said, her voice venomous and calm. "For obvious reason." Yumi Serenity said. Karla turned her black eyes on the Princess and glared. "Well, then. I guess I'll just have to teach you a lesson." She snapped her fingers and several black droids appeared and the guests gasped and screamed. Yumi Serenity's gaze hardened. She looked over at her brother and his aibou. Yami looked back at her, his eyes showing his rage at Karla.
Yumi Serenity looked back at Karla. "I'm sorry, Karla, but I can not allow you to do such a thing." Just as Yumi Serenity said that, all of the Sailor Scouts and Guardians ran into the room. Karla smiled evilly. "And just what do you think you and your scouts can do?" The scouts allowed all of the guests out of the throne room and stood in front of the entrance again. "You know you don't have enough power to overpower us. Give up now and your punishment will not be harsh." Yami said. Karla laughed. "I think not." She snapped her fingers again and the droids began to attack the Sailor Scouts and Guardians. "Mars Flame Sniper!" Mars shouted and fired a flame arrow. It hit a droid and it was split in half. Mars gasped. "No!" Yumi Serenity narrowed her eyes. She brought out the gold stone and yelled out, transforming. Everyone, human and droid alike, stared as she transformed into the deadliest Scout.
She shook her head. "You were warned, Karla." She said. With a wave of her Scythe the droids were destroyed. Karla hissed. "You may be powerful enough to destroy those pathetic droids, but you're not strong enough to beat me!" Yumi Serenity shook her head and detransformed. "I am not the one that will defeat you. The young Prince will." She said. She sat down in her seat and looked at Yugi. "Go ahead, Prince. You have the power to banish her, not I." Yugi stared at Yumi Serenity. After a minute he nodded and glared at Karla. "As your punishment, you shall be banished to a place even worse than the Negaverse!" he closed his eyes and concentrated. He raised his arms and his Uranus symbol glowed. His hands outstretched, Yugi opened a portal behind Karla. She glared at the young prince. "He is unable to do anything, you fool!" she said to Yumi Serenity. Yugi opened his eyes and glared at her. "You will spend eternity in the darkness, unable to escape." Karla stared at him, surprised. Why would he say that if he were unable to do something? She gasped as she was suddenly pulled into the portal that was behind her. "NO!!" she yelled. The last thing she saw was Yugi. The expression in his eyes full of hatred for her.
* * *
"Karla was banished to Darinare, to spend eternity. She became the Queen of that realm and now she wants revenge. On Myself and Yugi." Yumi Serenity said. "I remember banishing her." Yugi said, nodding. "Isn't Darinare the darkest and evil filled realm?" Mars asked. Yumi nodded. "She has several minions, and has recently acquired one that has minions of her own. I know who her new minion is, unfortunately." Yumi said. "Who is it?" Venus asked. Yumi Serenity sighed.
"Her name is Zarlin. She's older then us. Way older. And she really hates my guts." She said. Darien lifted an eyebrow. "How much older?" he asked. "About five thousand years older." Everyone was shocked. "How can that be?" Mai asked. "Easy. There has always been dark magic. Back in ancient Egypt, Zarlin was my advisor and sorceress. We were friends. I'd always come to her when I needed advice and she took care of me during all of my pregnancies then. She was even there when I gave birth to my children." Usagi interrupted. "How did you have an advisor?" she asked. "Both Empress and Pharaoh had their own Advisor/sorcerer or sorceress." Yami answered. "Yumi was my Queen, so she had an Advisor/Sorceress who also worked as a midwife." He said. The others nodded, some in understanding, Usagi still slightly confused. "Anyway, along the line, Zarlin became jealous of me. I suppose, even though she was a sorceress, she still didn't have as much power as I did, nor was she able to influence the Pharaoh. I know that secretly she had always been jealous of me because she wanted to be the one to marry the Pharaoh and become a powerful ruler. Instead, she became the Advisor of the Empress, Pharaoh Yami's elder sister." Usagi made a disgusted face.
"Have a problem?" Yumi Serenity asked. "Yeah, that's disgusting! I would never have done it if I were you! I can't ever see myself marrying my younger brother." She said. Yumi shook her head and sighed exasperated. "That was how things worked in ancient Egypt, Little Serena. I had to marry him, whether I wanted to or not. I obviously didn't want to, but was forced by the High Council to do so. I eventually grew to love him in a way other than as a brother." Yami nodded. "I had to do the same thing." He said. "It's not easy having to marry your sister. We had a very close brother- sister relationship. It was ruined when we were forced to be married." He said. "I'm sorry, Yami." Yugi said. Yami shook his head. "There is nothing for you to apologize about. It happened to us years ago."
"Back to Zarlin, She treated my children as if they were hers. While I appreciated her kindness toward them, I didn't like what she was up to. It was obvious. I confronted her and she denied everything. She despised me for 'betraying her trust', as she said, when in fact it was the other way around."
"So, she was the one who betrayed your trust?" Mercury said. Yumi nodded. "Everything basically went back to normal, as far as her playing with or assisting the children when they needed help with something, and I started to take it easy. I was becoming ill quite often and was told to stay in bed. I was once again pregnant and the doctor assumed that the child had some sort of illness that was affecting me as well. Guards had been stationed outside of the bedroom door so that no one would bother me. When the time for the child's birth came, I didn't want Zarlin there. I wanted her to stay with the children and keep them in order. Yami and the doctor were there along with another of the midwives. After the child was born, I was ill and wouldn't have long. I told Yami everything I wanted him to know, and everything Zarlin had done and wanted to do, before I passed away. The last thing that I did was name our son Seth." She said. Yami had said nothing and was looking away and sad at the memory.
"Is it painful to remember the death of your wife?" Mars asked. Yami nodded. "That and something else." He said, catching Yumi's attention. "What is it?" she asked. Yami sighed. "Do you remember that you gave birth to two children that day?" Yumi nodded. "Yes. I wanted to name the other Orthis, as I think I managed to mumble out." Yami nodded. "You did. Orthis was a very weak baby, the doctor was sure he wouldn't make it past one month." Yumi looked flustered. "What happened to him?" she asked. Yami looked into her eyes, pain obvious in his red orbs. "He didn't even survive past the night. He was born with a disease that had entered into the final stage while he was in your womb. I don't remember what it was, but he died the very next day. I was devastated." Queen Serenity nodded. "You had to have been. It is hard for a man to loose his wife to death, especially one that he loved so dearly. However, it is even harder for a man to loose both his wife and child within twenty-four hours." She said. "Ya know, I think I've heard of your sons and . . . daughter, right? We discussed them during World History. Your first born son became a famous Pharaoh. All of your children did." Jupiter said. Yumi smiled. "It's good to know that." She said.
Queen Serenity cleared her throat. "It's time for all of you to go back home. Come to visit me again sometime." She said. Yumi smiled and nodded. Her clothes changed and she was back to her normal self, with the exception of her crescent moon. She walked over to Queen Serenity. "I will visit you as often as I can." She said, hugging her. Queen Serenity smiled. "I have really missed you. All of you, especially my little Serena and Yami." Yami smiled. "And we've missed you." He replied. Queen Serenity quickly hugged all of them and watched as they teleported home again.

Kirin: Ya know, I think that part was kinda dumb. Anyway, this chapter is short because it's a good place to stop and because I wanted to try and get another chapter out for Yami's#1fan.
Yami: Well at least you explained something.
Kirin: True. Please review and chapter 12 won't be out for a while because I have finally gotten writers block for it. I'll try to have it out as soon as I can, though.

Chapter 11-

Once light was absorbed into the crystal, she brought the staff back down to touch the ground. Raising it high into the air with one hand, she spoke. "1000 years of sleep since death, The Princess awakens to summon her Lost Sailor Guardians. Princes of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, Princesses of Mercury and Venus, Awaken now and return to your Princess!!" she said. The crystal in the staff glowed and seven rays of light shot into the sky and flew toward earth. Yumi Serenity lowered her staff and looked at the other princes and princesses. "Is something going to happen?" Usagi asked. "Be patient, Serenity." Queen Serenity said.
Suddenly, seven kneeling bodies appeared in front of Yumi Serenity, their heads bent toward the ground. The Princes wore armor like the Prince of the Earth's, but theirs were the color of their planets. The princesses wore light, long, gowns that were the color of their planets, and all seven of them wore the symbols of their planets on their foreheads. Yumi Serenity smiled. "You may stand." She said and they all stood. "The 1st Crown Prince of Neptune, Prince Seto." Seto Kaiba turned and faced the others, smiling when he saw his old friends and comrades. Yugi's eyes widened. "Kaiba?" he said. Seto nodded at him. "Call me Seto, Prince Yugi." The other six turned around. "Honda, Jounouchi, Bakura, Anzu!" Yugi said, surprised when he saw them. He looked at the little smiling prince- he was not wearing armor, but instead an outfit like Yugi's that wasn't leather, but silk. "Yugi!" he said smiling. "Mokuba!" Yugi then looked at the other princess. "Mai!?" She smiled. "Hello, Yugi. Long time no see."
"Wait a minute. The Princes and Princesses of Mars, Venus, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, and Jupiter? But those planets already have Princesses!" Mercury said, stepping forward. Mokuba nodded. "Yeah, but like the Moon and Uranus' royal families, the other planets also have two children. The Moon and Neptune are just more special because three children were born to them. I'm Prince Mokuba. I'm your little brother, Ami!" he said. "My brother?" Mokuba nodded, smiling. "I am Princess Mai, the 1st Crown Princess of Venus." Venus stepped up and examined her. "Yup, you definitely look like a princess of Venus." She said. Mai sweat dropped. "I am Katsuya Jounouchi, the 1st Crown Prince of Mars." Jounouchi said. Mars looked at him. "Wait, Yugi's dumb friend is my little brother?" Jounouchi glared. "Who you callin' dumb?" Mars gave him the look she always gave Usagi when she was messing with her. "You, Katsuya!" Jounouchi growled. "Now, now. Down, boy." Jounouchi glared at Honda, who ignored him. "I'm Honda, the Prince of Neptune." He paused. "Hey, wait! Why am I Kaiba's brother?" he scowled. Yumi Serenity rolled her eyes. "You and he have been brothers for centuries, Honda. Live with it."
Bakura bowed politely. "I am Ryou Bakura, 1st Crown Prince of Jupiter." He said. Jupiter examined him, but said nothing. He smiled at her. "It's been a long time since I last saw you." He said. "And I am Anzu Mazaki, 1st Crown Princess of Saturn." Saturn nodded and smiled. "I remember all of you. You are in my old selves memory." She said, confusing mostly Usagi, Minako, and Rae.
