"Endy?"
Endymion felt the familiar comfort of Serenity's soft and musical voice. Relief washed over him as he realized she was safe and unharmed...for now. The video games flickered, showing various high scores, but no one paid attention to any of that. Their attention was focused at first on the silver girl that was protectively circled by four girls and one cute college guy. The mob of people barely spared him a glance and they were blocking Endymion's view of Serenity. A faint growl rose in his throat. Cleanly pulling out his sword, he welded its familiar weight in front of him. One by one, the weapon caught the attention of the people. The crowd before him began to slowly back away from the threatening prince.
As the group scurried away, his breath caught as it always did when he saw her. Her beautiful silver hair pooled on the marble floor and her stunning eyes gazed up at him with a slight confusion. Endymion's midnight eyes flickered to the man standing beside her and felt jealousy and caution rush through his body. Mirroring sapphire eyes glared back at him from the man that kneeled at Serenity's side.
(Middy: WOHOO! Things are starting to get interesting! *munches on popcorn*
Pu: Remind me again, why are you torturing me like this?
Middy: I'm bored, of course...)
Serenity glanced back and forth and then froze. Pain radiated throughout her body and she clutched her throbbing head. The warm power within her began to burn. The crescent moon on her forehead glimmered with the power she had absorbed from Pluto. Gulping in fresh air, she tried to rein in the throbbing power and focus on not releasing it. Glancing to her side, she saw her familiar friends the senshi and concentrated on their presence to ease her fear. Clenching her eyes shut, she thought silently, "I can't be such a scared princess. These people. My friends. I can't let them get hurt because I am too weak to save them. I can control my own destiny."
Her small fist clenched and unclenched on the soft material of the blue skirt. Holding back a scream, she tried once again to reroute the enormous flow of power only to find that the Plutonian power could not be altered to any other form. If the swell of stored power was released it would have all the properties as if Sailor Pluto had released the power herself. Setsuna's power was almost unbearable. Looking up at Pluto, she saw the raw fear and panic in her crimson eyes. Pluto was always the one in control. Her heartbeat began to accelerate. Her control over the power stored within her began to waver. Centering her own Lunarian power as a shield, she set it to contain any power she released to be trapped within the small Arcade. The golden crescent moon began to glow a painful white as Serenity lost control.
*****
The blinding white light rushed in a wave and Setsuna barely felt herself register that the power was her own. As the light faded, she briefly wondered why she wasn't dead before glancing around. Time was frozen. Even more incredible was the fact that time was frozen only within the Arcade. People stood where they were before the blast and an eerie silence was broken only by the shocked gasps for air. Outside cars still zoomed past the Crown Arcade. Numbly, Pluto realized she herself wasn't frozen.
"Okay...What the hell was that?!"
Turning towards the four other senshi beside her, Pluto realized it was Jupiter who had spoken. Glancing around she saw everyone in the arcade except the senshi, Mamoru, and the prince, were still trapped in time.
"Serenity seemed to have had only enough power and control to freeze everything not strong enough to hold back the blast," Setsuna muttered, still unsure if that was a good or bad thing.
"MAMORU!"
Pluto's head sharply turned towards Mamoru, wondering how things could possible get any worse. Her eyes widen as she saw Endymion press the blade of the sword against Mamoru's neck. Fearful of the disastrous results to the timeline if Mamoru was killed she clutched the person in her lap. Looking down at Serenity, Setsuna also realized that Serenity had, somehow during the flash of white light become Usagi once more. The silver hair had reverted back to gold and the crescent moon had disappeared as if it had never been there at all. Pluto's hand trembled as she raised it towards her aching head. Setsuna felt the beginning of a migraine. "Ugh," she thought, "I have completely screwed up the timeline. Queen Serenity will have my head."
(Pu: Oy...
Middy: *pats* I hope this teaches everyone a lesson.
Pu: Never mess with the timeline by bringing the past life of a prince into the present to fix a romance that isn't a romance between the future prince and princess.
Middy: ...that...or don't let Setsuna fix things for you because things will end up infinitely worse.
Pu: *glares* Do you even know what infinitely means?
Middy: Yep! Usagi taught me the word! ^.~)
Endymion flickered a glance at Serenity's protectors that gazed at this...this IMPOSTER with worried looks. His temper flared. Could no one be trusted to keep Serenity safe?! They were the senshi; how could they protect Serenity if they allowed danger to settle so near to her? Endymion's brief lapse in attention was all Mamoru needed to tackle the armored prince in an attempt to take away the sharp sword.
Minako gaped as the two fought. All the Sailor Soldier stared.
"This is," Makoto muttered, "not right on so many, MANY levels."
"But," Mars began, "it's WRONG...but I can't turn away from it..."
"I always...well not always, but I did wonder what it would look like if clones or identical twins fought," Minako added, not able to rip her gaze for the sight.
(Middy: Did you ever notice how Minako has a way with words...
Pu: Yep. Just hearing her describe it makes me wish I wasn't there myself.
Middy: You should have taken pictures...a lot of people would have paid to see that.
Pu: Only people like you Middy...*sigh* only people like you...
Middy: I still don't see how it's a bad thing to be like me. ^^;;)
Ami was the first to grasp a hold of the odd situation and shook Venus, hissing, "As much as this fight holds a morbid fascination for you Minako, Rei, and Matoko, we need to help Mamoru-san before this Endy person kills him!"
Rei's violet eyes flashed with fury and helplessness as she drew out of the haze and muttered, "What can we do Ami? Are we going to just give away our identities like this?"
"We can't just let him die when there's something we can do to help!" Makoto argued, her eyes not leaving the fight between Mamoru and Endy.
Minako gazed down at the Princess that seemed to have reverted back to Usagi. She had always sensed that Usagi truly did have feelings for Mamoru...though Usagi would never admit it. Deep down, Minako knew that if Usagi were awake there would be no decision for her. Usagi would never allow Mamoru or anyone to die if there was a way for her to save them. "We have to help him," Minako whispered.
Rei's eyes narrowed and her eyebrows drew into a sharp frown, "It's not just us we have to think about Minako! There's Usa-chan and...oh, let's say...the people of the ENTIRE WORLD!"
"No Rei, there's no discussion. Usagi would never forgive us if we just let ANYONE die without fighting," Minako stated quietly. She nodded towards Makoto and Ami while pulling out her transformation pen.
Rei glanced down at Usagi, whom somehow seemed to harbor the soul of the past princess of the moon. She hesitated slightly but looked upa heartbeat later nodding, "Aright," she smirked, "But you get to explain this to Luna, Minako!"
Makoto and Ami grinned their consent and the senshi of Venus smiled raising the orange pen towards the sky.
"VENUS POWER, MAKE UP!"
