Ch. 8
**********Recap******************
"Why you little brat!" Endymion was furious.
"Now now Endymion, mind your temper. You are king of the dark kingdom now remember. Oh by the way, my apologies to your wife. Tell her I apologize that she has to put up with you every day." Serena's eyes widened as Endymion's hand went up and he gathered dark energy. She was still too weak to block or dodge the attack. Endymion's hand went down to aim the attack, when it he was blocked.
"Stop!" Serena's defender said simply. Serena looked up to see……..
*********************************
Serena looked up to see Beryl, blocking Endymion's attack.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?" Endymion was furious. His eyes widened and bulged out. His jaw was hanging open. His complexion turned pale and all in all,
he resembled a bloating fish.
"What I should have done long ago." Beryl calmy stated. She looked at Serenity and asked if she was
all right. At Serenity's nod, Beryl
turned her gaze back to Endymion.
"I overheard your little confession 'love!' Beryl laced the word love with
derision.
**********Flashback***************
"Those bratty sniveling annoying scouts! How dare they get
in my way! Everytime..everytime! Always! How is it that they could have gotten
so strong in so short a period of time? No matter, with that pathetic wife of
mine thinking I truly love her, her powers are mine…and her powers…is the
dark kingdom.." the king of darkness smirked as he muttered this last
part. Never, did he notice the tearful realization in the eyes of a
figure hidden in yet another shadow. The figure tore her tearful gaze
from her 'loving' husband…he was using her all this time! All those lies!
All those endearments and flatteries! They were all lies! He wanted
power! Of course! That was why….why it took him so long…he…he proposed to her
right after that White moon princess, dear Princess Serenity broked it off with
him….WAIT! DEAR PRINCESS SERENITY?!?!?! What was wrong with her…could it
be?? No..no..it couldn't..but her memories were hazy…but those thoughts were
for later, right now, she must make him pay! What to do? Perhaps she..no…no…she
couldn't…but perhaps….yes! That's it!
**************END******************
"You used me, and you shall pay." Beryl smirked. She dugged
her nails into Endymion's arm and drew blood. He clenched his jaw to hide his pain.
"Don't try to come back to the palace. I will have you imprisoned." Endymion hissed.
"You poor deluded fool. The only reason why you are obeyed in the kingdom is because of me. Now that we are over, well, you will be
captured and imprisoned at my command should you step foot into the palace or
the kingdom." Beryl smirked even more as her 'husband' realized the meaning of
her words. He was no longer king. He looked at the generals, who in turn
smirked and waved bye to him. Turning
his attention back to Beryl and Serenity, an idea struck him.
"One month. You have
one month." He said.
"One month for what?" Beryl asked.
"You have one month to prepare. I heard of an old enemy of Earth's Special Forces. He, I believed his name was Cell, held a
tournament to determine the fate of the world. I will do the same, you win, I don't get Earth. I win, I do. Simple as that. Also,
same rules apply. Now I suggest you
watch your television to find out where this will be held." And with that, he
left in a whirl of his cape. Beryl
turned her attention back to everyone else.
"I suggest you all heal first. Then I will answer any questions."
********************************
"So let me get this straight. You were also from the Silver Millennium. You were one of the scouts' closest friends,
known as Lady Beryl of Earth. Metallia
had captured you, and twisted all your memories of the scouts around as much as
possible. The ones that she couldn't
twist around, she locked up. She then
added memories of her own that made you believed you loved Endymion and he
loved you. You attacked the Silver
Alliance and get imprisoned for a thousand years. The scouts are dead along with everyone else in the Silver
Alliance. You fight the scouts again,
lose, and is healed by the light of the silver crystal. However, the Silver Crystal only healed you
of Metallia's presence in your body, not of the memories she placed in
you. Endymion knew you were still
alive, sought you out, cheated on Sere with you, and when Sere broked up with
him, he proposed. It wasn't until you
overheard him telling of how he was only using you that your memories began to
slowly return. Now it is all back, your
on the side of the scouts and Endymion is, as you put it, getting his no good,
dirty rotten egotistic lying arrogant butt kicked. Do I have everything?" Trunks summed up. They had all gathered at the scouts'
mansion.
"Yes. And now I ask,
no beg, for the scouts' forgiveness." Beryl turned her gaze to the scouts. They smiled their forgiveness.
"There is nothing to forgive. You were manipulated into everything." Serena grinned. A long and large group hug followed.
"Ahem…the tournament?" Gohan reminded, never taking his eyes
off of Ami. And so they all proceeded
to watch television.
*******************************
"Hm…this spot is perfect. Ironic…it is the exact same spot Cell chosed." Endymion grinned evily
before taking off towards the television station.
*******************************
"What is taking that baka so long to choose a crummy
spot?!?!?!" Beryl was annoyed at her 'husband'. Serena grinned at this.
"Hush! Look! He finally chosed a spot!" Hotaru hushed them.
AN: I'm too lazy
to explain whats going on so just imagine what Cell did but with the baka
instead.
*******************************
All around the universe, little specks of light could be seen
going to a certain location. The
location is the center of the universe. When the lights arrive at the center, it can be seen that it is actually
tiny parts of stars. The lights, or
mini-stars, as they will be called, seem to be dancing and waiting. Waiting for all the rest of the mini-stars
to appear. Slowly, more mini-stars are
appearing. On a much closer inspection,
you can actually hear them singing. If
you were able to listen to their song, you would hear phrases such as, "It is
almost time." "Let it begin when the gathering is complete." "Soon, very soon."
And most importantly, "She will be on her way." "She will know what to do." "Soon, the awakening will begin."
*******************************
"What's the Gates of Time?" Goten asked. They were discussing where to train. The Z team suggested the Room of Spirit and
TimeAN: can't remember its name so…. But the scouts disagreed, saying the Gates of Time was much better. Trista said it would be alright to train
there, as long as they were far away from the post. And so Goten brought up the question that all the Z crew wanted
to know.
"The Gates of Time is a place you must go through in order
to travel through time. Not everyone is
allowed to pass through the gates, you must be worthy to pass. If you are not
worthy, you are considered a trespasser. Trespassers at the Gates must pay the ultimate price. I am the Guardian of the Gates of Time."
Trista stated.
"So how would that help us?" Gohan asked.
"At the gates, time has no meaning. You can get a year or more worth of training
there and come back here to about five minutes after you left. You can get about a decade's worth of
training before a day has passed here. However, while you may be getting a decade's worth of training, because
time has no meaning there, it would only feel as if a decade has pass, and
that, is how you are to tell time there." Hotaru said.
"And the best part is that because time has no meaning
there, you don't age! So when you
leave, you'll still be as cute as when you went!" Mina grinned flirtatiously at
Goten, who blushed and winked in return.
"So we'll use both of them! We'll use the room first, while others train wherever they choose, and
then we will all head and train at the Gates of Time together! And if you aren't going to fight, don't
worry. If my memory serves me correct,
which it does, you can still stay and have fun. We'll just summon up the furnitures and rooms etc. Also, everything at the Gates is pretty much
magical so be careful." Beryl had begun to say this, but somehow, Ami finished
it for her.
***************************************
"Why is it so hard to start the romance between them?!!?!"
Destiny began to whine.
"Hush love, remember they ARE going to be at the Gates of
Time." Fate reminded.
"Hai..but…oh! I see! The time difference! So, what do
you think? Should they stay a year or
over a year?" Destiny asked.
"Hm..it is Chaos they are fighting, so lets make it from
either five to ten years. That way, there
is plenty of time for romance to begin!" Fate answered.
"Why do you think the scouts are ignoring their hearts for
the most part?" Destiny nudged Fate.
"I don't know…maybe they're just slow?" Fate suggested.
"Perhaps, I mean, remember how long it took to tempt
Serenity into going to Earth?"
"How could I forget? She was so stubborn!"
"I don't think it is because they are slow though. Serenity is stubborn and does not want to
risk heartbreak. The rest of the scouts
believe duty before self. They will
sacrifice their own happiness for Serenity."
"Destiny, do you sense that?"
"Hai Fate…do you think?!?! Yes! That's it! She's awakening!!..Wait! Both of them are awakening!"
"I wonder why we couldn't foresee this earlier?"
"Well, we only pay attention to those that have destinies
and you to those you must of wish to. Perhaps it is because she didn't want us to foresee it? She is much stronger that us…not to mention,
she is the ultimate-" Destiny was cut off.
"Hai, that is true. So, should we interfere with the scouts anymore love?"
"Only if necessary."
********************************
Serena frowned. She
felt strange. Something was
happening. Something big. It had already begun. She didn't know how she knew this, but she
knew that it was true. She
felt…odd. As if she should be
resting. As if she should be at peace
right now. A wave of tranquility washed
over her suddenly. She smiled, but yet
she felt as if something was happening.
'I wish there was a moon here…I miss the moon. It has always put to rest before any
feelings of unrest that I had. She
glanced up, startled as a light bathed her. Looking up at the sky, she was startled, yet pleased at what greeted
her. Her wish had been granted. There up in the night sky, was the moon, the
full moon. Its heavenly light bathed
her. She grinned and a wind blew her
hair from behind so that wrapped around her in a blanket. She ran her hand through her hair, bringing
forth a few tresses of hair. She looked
at her hair and then her hand. Quickly,
she summoned forth a full length mirror.
A scream was heard throughout the mansion.
