If Only I Could Turn Back Time...
By: Sailor Chibi Star Fighter
Rated: PG (Violence)
Disclaimer: If I owned Sailor Moon, Seiya and Usagi would be together, Stars would be dubbed, Chibiusa would be Seiya and Usagi's future daughter, the Amazoness Quartet would be the Asteroid Senshi in the Anime and come back, and there would be more seasons of Sailor Moon! Seeing as how none of these are true in the show, I must not own Sailor Moon.
Chapter Five
Usagi's Secret, The Boys Grim and Liam
The clicking of Fighter's high heeled boots and the metal clinking of Kareon's armor echoed through the long corridor leading into the heart of the palace. "Is it much farther Fighter?" Kareon asked the ravenhaired senshi. Fighter looked back at her best friend. He had pale blond hair and sparkling blue eyes. In a way, he reminded her of Serenity. She shook her head. "Its not very far from here. Lets walk, our running will make more noise which is something we do not want.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! YATEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Minako cried on his shoulder.
"Minako..." Yaten looked down at her.
"Oh, Yaten! Yaten's dead! Can't you see that Yaten?" She looked up. "YATEN! YOU'RE ALIVE!!!" She hugged him hard.
"I WAS NEVER DEAD!" He yelled back. But Minako was too happy in her blonde celebration to listen.
The girl Kaela sweatdropped. "Oh, please...." She rolled her eyes. "This chick's my future mom? Kami-sama, help us all. Especially me and Koran."
The girl Keiko looked at the scene below. She studied Kareon. She got stars in her eyes. "Wow....what a cutie...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serenity stood in a hall. The inner senshi were protecting her. It wasn't fair...she should be helping Fighter.... She sighed and sat on the floor, not caring about her dress. "Seiya....." she murmered, looking up. "Please be alright..." she whispered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since Beryl was setting up a stronghold in the center of the palace, it was not that easy to get to the heart of the Moon Kingdom. The two warriors would have to fight through hundreds of youma in order to get to their destination. If thats what it took, they would. With a cry, Kareon and Fighter ran into the fray.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serenity looked up sharply. "Fighter.....shes in danger....SEIYA!!!!!!!" she screamed and ran away before the other senshi could stop her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fighter punched a youma and ducked under another's punch. The battle raged on. Kareon cut through ranks of youma with his sword. Fighter powered up and hovered in the air. "STAR SERIOUS LASER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" This blew a hole in the youma ranks. That was their chance. The youma leapt on the two but they continued to run through the monsters.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi watched the scene before her with mixed emotions. They had been in love. Seiya and she had been in love. Images filled her mind. Fighter laying in the coffin, the feather floating by Usagi's face, Seiya whispering to her that he was really there, the locket, Usagi tickling him, it was as if.....as if everything about Fighter's....about Seiya's death had been a horrible nightmare.
Then she saw what she hadn't before. She remembered that when the youma had attcked her, she had seen a little boy. The boy looked sad and had whispered "Gomen ne......" and disappeared. The boy had light blone hair and blue eyes identical to that of Prince Kareon. "Seiya..........." she whispered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fighter and Kareon raced down the hall. Both had numerous cuts and bruises, but neither seemed to notice. They were almost at the center of the palace, where Beryl was going to pay for all the pain and suffering she had caused. When they reached the stronghold however, Beryl wasn't in sight.
"W-where is she?!!!!" Kareon exclaimed, looking around woridly.
Fighter too looked around frantically.
"Shi-ne......" (die)
Fighter turned at the voice. "KAREON!!!!!!!! LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kareon heard Fighter's warning cry and started to turn.
Fighter ran as fast as her legs could carry her. "Gomen ne......Odango....." she whispered.
Kareon could only stare as the ice crystals flew at him. He was frozen in place. Then someone jumped in front of him, he stumbled back and fell, and a sickening sound echoed and resounded in the room as one of the ice javelins struck home. Kareon looked up from his position on the floor and his eyes widened in absolute horror. "FIGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he yelled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Above, Usagi screamed in sheer horror, the Earth senshi gasped. Yaten, Taiki, and Kakyuu's eyes were wide with disbelief. The Wild senshi watched mutley as their leader turned her head away. The Celestial senshi watched their leader go to her sister and try to maker her feel better.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fighter let out a dry heave and bent forward, stumbling back a few steps, her black hair loose, falling around her face limply, her face as pale a sheet, the ice javilin in her chest disappearing. Then, her eyes rolled back in her head and she fell back and Kareon caught her. "Fighter?! FIGHTER?!!" but she didn't respond. Beryl's laugh echoed through the room and Kareon pulled Fighter closer unconciously. Then, the laugh was gone. Kareon looked back down. "Fighter!! Fighter wake up!!" The senshi's eyes fluttered open. "K-kareon..." she whispered. "Fighter....Fighter why did you do that?!" She smiled weakly at him. "B-because....y-you're my best f-friend..." Kareon stared at her. "Best.......friend...." he echoed. She gasped in pain and fell still. "FIGHTER!"
"SEIYA!!!!!!!" Serenity screamed and rushed to the fallen senshi's side as she came into the room. Kneeling down she started to cry. "Seiya...Seiya..." Kareon's face was covered by his short blone hair. "Beryl...." he muttered the name like a curse. Serenity brought up her tear streaked face. "Nani...?" Kareon mutely placed Fighter in Serenity's arms and stood up. "Take care of her..." he whispered curtly and walked after where Beryl's voice had last echoed. Serenity stared after him and blinked. The look he had in his eyes when he held Fighter.... Serenity's eyes widened. "Kareon loves her....." she whispered. "Kareon loves her....Kareon loves Fighter.......Just like I love Seiya......." Fighter groaned and her eyes fluttered open. Her body started to flicker as she lost her transformation. "O-odango....." Seiya whispered. Serenity gasped in shock. "S-Seiya!!" He groaned and smiled weakly. "Aishiteru Odango....gomen ne.." and his eyes fell closed and his body fell limp. "SEIYA!!!!!" but her scream was drowned out as there was a enormous explosion crashed through the enitre palace and the entier kingdom. The Moon Kingdom crumbled in dust, and that was the true end of the Silver Millenium....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Keiko turned to the shocked senshi and raised an eyebrow. "You were shocked at that but you didn't seem to grasp one of my mother's first statements. The only one besides my father that called her Odango, or actually Odango Atama, was P-L-U-T-O-S F-I-A-N-C-E E-N-D-Y-M-I-O-N." She said the last three words slowly so they would sink in. Everyone turned to face Pluto who blushed and looked down, gripping her Time Staff and biting her lower lip. Haruka and Michiru's jaws droped about 1000 feet. Haruka stomped up to her. "THIS WHOLE TIME YOU HAVE BEEN KEEPING THE SECRET THAT YOU AND OUR PRINCE WERE ENGAGED?!!!!!!!" Pluto stared at her feet, Michiru and Hotaru began to laugh. Haruka continued to spluter and Pluto kept blushing.
Keiko's grin faded though as she turned to Usagi. "Okaasan....It is time to open the locket....the restraints have been dissoluved, and something is attacking him in the locket's world.."
Usagi steped back. "H-how..." Keiko looked around frantically as if hearing something. "Hiyakuu!!!!!!!!!! Or he will die!!!"
Gasping, Usagi opened the tiny clasp but this time a different tune played. An angelic voice sang a melodic tune as bright blue light shot from the locket, causing Usagi to drop it in surprise. The locket opened wider, the light shooting out grew wider and brighter, feathers flew up from the light in a storm unlike anytime before that Usagi had used it. Then a shadow appearing in the midst of the light. It started in the shape of feet which formed into leather, thigh high boots, then leather shorts, then forming into a thin, slender body, then a leather bra top, then a thin, narrow, slender, angelic face. The light stoped, the feathers floated to the ground slowly and the senshi gasped as the figure became clear and opened her eyes slowly. It was Fighter of course. She held her head in her hands and stumbled backward a few paces, moaning in pain, then she slipped and detransformed. Usagi caught Seiya before he hit the ground. "Seiya! Are you alright?!" He shook his head to clear his thoughts and stood up. "Hai Odango, I'm alright..." he looked around. "I know the restraints are off, but I want to know WHO had the power to turn them off..." Keiko stepped forward. "I turned them off Otosan." Seiya stared. "A kid?! Wait a second....OTOSAN?!!" Keiko and Chibiusa looked as if they were trying not to do something. Usagi patted Seiya on the head. "Keiko and Chibiusa are our daughters from the future Seiya..." Seiya nearly fell down again. "NANI?!!!!!!!!!" Chibiusa and Keiko couldn't hold it in anymore. "DADDY!!!!!!" they screamed and tackled him. Seiya lay on his back with swirly eyes while Usagi fell over laughing. The senshi were staring at Seiya with wide eyes.
Keiko and Chibiusa finally got off of Seiya and he shakily stood up and noticed the senshi staring at him and a sweatdrop formed on the back of his head. "A-Are you...real..?" Yaten stuttered. Seiya nodded his head. "I'm really here guys..." Seiya didn't have time to react. Three more people tackled him, Yaten, Taiki, and Kakyuu. Usagi was crying she was laughing so hard. Seiya growled. "Shut up Odango!" That only made Usagi laugh harder. After Seiya had convinced his princess and brothers that he really was there he was on his feet again only to hear. "SEIYA-KUN!" and get tackled by all four of the Inner senshi. Usagi couldn't breathe she was laughing so hard. After Seiya got up THAT time there was a squeal. "SEIYA-CHAN!" and Hotaru tackled him while Haruka and Michiru's jaws dropped. Pluto grinned at their reaction. "Seiya and Hotaru play a lot in the future, he buys her a doll, she gives him a BIIIIIIGGG hug. He plays catch with her, she hugs him harder. He agrees to play dress up....she makes Haruka pay him..." Haruka stared at her and Michiru snickered. Haruka started to cry, she knew how much Hotaru liked to play dress up, Michiru fell over laughing, then got a michivous look in her eye. Seiya finally got up and to EVRYONE'S surprise he was tackled again, by Michiru. Seiya blinked and Haruka fell over. Even Pluto cracked up. Haruka was crying again. "WHY IS EVERYONE BETRAYING MEEEEEE?!!!!!!!" Pluto grinned and watched Seiya get up again. Seiya was dizzy and blushing. "Uh..um....nice to...see you again....too.. Michiru-san..." Usagi sat cross-legged on the ground, muttering under her breath. Seiya was then tackled by a blur of black and opened his eyes to find that it was Pluto that time. Seiya sweatdroped and blinked. Haruka stared long and hard at Pluto after she got up. "Oh sure....make me look bad.....YOU OWE ME PLUTO!" Seiya blinked unsure of what Haruka meant. Then he was tackled by a sandy blonde blur and he found that HARUKA had tackled him. She glared at him. "Don't think I'm THAT happy to see you...." she muttered, got up and walked away. Seiya was VERY confused now... "UNCLE SEIYA!!!!!!!!" he turned as four little girls tackled him. Keiko and Chibiusa had to pull their cousins off of their father.
An evil wind blew by and the senshi looked up sharply, transforming. A little boy about 10 or so with short blonde hair and bright blue eyes flickered into veiw in a flash of golden light. He scanned the shocked senshi until his eyes came to rest on Fighter. His mouth opened in surprise and he took a frightened step back. "No...No I can't...I-I c-can't fight her..............I CAN'T!!!" he screamed and grabbed his head. The senshi blinked and Uranus started forward but Sailor Moon held out a hand stopping her. It was the same boy he had seen before. She stepped forward despite the worried voices of the senshi. "You....you are Prince Kareon...aren't you...?" Grim slowly brought his head up to look at her, a frightened look on his face. "N-no!" he stuttered. "M-my name is G-Grim...." SM took another step towards him. "You don't have to be afraid...I'm not going to hurt you...." Grim leapt backwards. "D-Don't come any closer to me!!" he shreiked, panicing. Fighter appeared by SM's side. "Don't you EVER threaten that girl again!!!!!" she yelled. Grim cringed, tears welling up in his eyes, her angry voice stung him deeply. Fighter blinked as tears started to roll down the little boy's face. "F-Fighter....." he whimpered. Fighter blinked. "A-are you...m-mad at m-me...?" Fighter wasn't prepared for how this boy was reacting. "Y-you are...aren't you..." he broke down crying and Fighter couldn't help but feel a little guilt at causing him to cry. She sighed. She had never been much of a babysitter, but maybe she could get him to feel better. Cautiously, he was afterall the enemy, she walked towards him, when in a flash of green light, a boy about 14 or 15 appeared next to Grim, he was fully clad in armor and sword like Endymion, only a dark, DARK, green color. He had green hair like Pluto and green eyes like Healer. He knelt down beside the crying child. "Grim-sama! Are you alright?!" Grim sniffed. "Y-yeah... Liam...I'm f-fine...they didn't a-attack m-me....."
The boy looked up sharply, fierce eyes flashing. He said nothing, but straightened up, sword ready. Uranus also readied her Space Sword.
"Uranus-kun, no." HealerVenus stepped foward, putting a hand on Uranus's back. The taller senshi looked down at her. Her blue eyes studied the boy.
Liam drew in his breath. This girls eyes were just like hers...Venus... He glarred at her.
HealerVenus ignored him, looking at the boy that called himself Grim, although she, also, saw the resemblance between the boy and the Prince. "What do you want here?" The boy turned his head, and his armed friend looked ever more ready to kill.
"Cheetah-chan..." Tiger pulled her sister back. "Cheetah-chan, don't. You're just making him madder."
HealerVenus looked at the two boys, to Tiger, the other sneshi, back to Tiger again, and finally back to the boys. She sighed, shoulders slumping, and turned away. "Fine. I'll just go....sit over there..."
She walked about five feet back, flopped down, and hugged her knees. She didn't like seeing anyone cry. It always made her cry herself. She bit her lip to keep the tears back.
Liam blinked at the strange behavior. Then he heard Grim sniff again, and he snapped back. His slitted eyes landed on Fighter. He snarled, preping for a charge.
Grim looked up at his gaurdian, noted his stance. "Liam, wait. Don't."
Liam looked down at him. "G-grim-sama...."
"We...we don't have any...direct orders..." He trailed off, looking at Fighter. He quickly looked away.
Fighter blinked and took a cautious step forward again, she was about two meters away. Liam snarled and took a threatening step forward. Fighter's eyes narrowed and she took another step. Liam narrowed his eyes and got into a fighting stance. Grim looked at him sharply. Fighter threw all caution away and started walking normally. Liam was tensing like a bow string pulled too tight. She was pushing it.... Fighter put a hand on her hip when she was no more than five feet away from him. "Are you afraid to step forward kid?" Liam snapped. He lunged at Fighter who had not been expecting that. With stealth that a boy his age shouldn't have, he was on the ground, executing spin kick, knocking Fighter's feet from under her. There were angry crys and gasps as Liam had Fighter at sword point, the blade millimeters from her throat. Grim stood up, eyes flashing and a bolt of black laightning crackled behind him. "LIAM!!! THAT IS ENOUGH!!!" he boomed.
Fighter inched back timidly. Both boys seemed to have gone far beyond the breaking point. The boy Liam was completely ignoring the other boy. His sword was ever closer to Fighter's throat. Her chocker snapped audibly, and red dribbled down her neck.
Wolf heard a whimpering nearby, and she looked to see HealerVenus turning her face away from them. "Oh dear...Cheetah-chan....Cheetah-chan...." HV was rocking back and forth, hands clenched to keep from leaping up and attacking Liam.
SM could only stare in horror at the blood dribbling down Fighter's neck. "STOP IT!! STOP IT! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HER!!!"
Healer, Maker, and Kakyuu had to be held back by the Earth senshi. Healer growled. "LEAVE HER ALONE YOU &%$@!!" she screamed. Maker and Kakyuu had similar reactions though Kakyuu didn't use the colorful dialouge her senshi did.
Fighter cried out in pain and more blood ran down her throat, she fell back onto the ground, no longer held up by her elbows. The sword came down with her but the sudden force knocked Liam's aim off and the blade ramed into her shoulder. She stiffled a scream of agony. Her world was spinning and her her eyes were starting to close from loss of blood.
Wolf snarled and let out a howl that earned her senshi name of 'Wolf' "STOP IT!!" she screamed. Hawk held her back while MakerMercury struggled with FighterMoon. "PAPA!!!" FM screamed.
Grim looked sharply at the girl's cry of 'papa' that had been directed at Fighter. He seemed to snap into even more peices at the sight of the blood. "LIAM STOP!!!" he barked.
The look in Liam's eyes was insane. It was that of blood lust. MakerMercury persuaded FighterMoon to look on at their other cousin. Tiger was already trying to console her sister. HealerVenus was visibly shaking now.
Grim jumped on Liam's back, but was shaken off by the older boy that usually protected him. He hit the ground hard. The Outers grabbed the Wild senshi and held them back, no matter how much they wanted to attack as well.
Liam reached down and jerked his sword out of Fighter's flesh. This time, she couldn't withhold her cry of pain. Healer echoed it, but from shock.
"And now, the finishing blow." Liam raised the sword over his head.
"LIAM!" Grim reached for him from his place on the ground. The sword came down....
There was a flash of silver, orange, and green. The sword clattered harmlessly to the ground. All the senshi except the Wilds and Celestials gasped. Healer Venus held him against the ground. She was sitting on his chest, partially restricting his breath (not that it needed any more restricting from the surprise he got) and had his shirt collar clentched in her gloves. Her eyes blazed, and her face was only an inch from his. Liam couldn't help but blush ever so slightly.
Tiger yelped with approval, Hawk applauded, and Wolf smirked. Grim looked on in wonder, and turned his head when he heard Wolf's voice. "There's the reason we call her Cheetah-chan. The one trait she gained from neither parent. Extreme speed." Wolf grinned at Uranus. "Hangs out too much with you."
Uranus blinked. "Oh....ok....I guess..."
A voice chilled with hatred came out of the silverhaired speed demon's mouth. She spoke to Wolf and Fighter, but her eyes never left Liam's. "What do ya want me to do with him?"
Liam felt a chill run down his spine and a cold fear clutch his heart. She really meant to hurt him.
Grim's mouth fell open. "Liam....LEAVE HIM ALONE!"
HV snarled and gripped Liam's shirt colar tighter. "S...stop...HealerVenus...." a voice whispered. HV turned to where SM was helping Fighter sit up. "Leave him alone..listen to the Grim kid....leave him be...." Fighter said. HV was startled. "Demo he nearly killed you!" Wolf suddenly appeared next to her cousin. "You heard her Cheetah-chan....let go...." HV snarled like a Cheetah and did a backflip off of the boy, pushing off from him doing so, making him 'oof.' She pulled down her right eyelid and stuck her tounge out at him, kicking him in the side with her boot and stomped over to help Fighter. "I hope I broke something...." she muttered when she walked by Wolf. Wolf shook her head.
Grim helped Liam as Wolf stood over them. She towered actually. She was nearly 5'5" while on the ground these kids were from 2'0" to 2'5" Grim looked up somewhat fearfully into her eyes but found himself blushing slightly. Wolf knelt down and glared at Liam who turned his head away. Wolf growled in his face. "You had better be glad I have a long temper... I'm not too happy about what you did to Fighter... But because you are just a kid...I won't kill you..." she whispered those words dreadfully quiet. Grim looked at her as he helped pull Liam up. "Please...don't be mad at him... he's my guard..and he has a really short temper..." he looked over at Fighter then averted his gaze. "I never meant for it to go this far...." he looked down at his guard. "Lets go." he said, and dissapeared. Liam too vanished.
Sailor Moon held Fighter worridly. "Are you alright?" she asked fearfully.
"Hai, Odango. I'm alright." Fighter smiled at her, tried to stand, but she'd lost too much blood, and her legs wouldn't hold her. She fell back. Kakyuu, Healer, Maker, and Moon gave audible gasps, while the others just watched in horror.
HealerVenus hugged Fighter's opposite arm. "I'm sorry Uncle...I got mad....he hurt you..."
Fighter smiled as best she could. "It's alright. I'll be fine."
Wolf came over and knelt down, put a hand on her cousin's shoulder, and looked at Fighter. "She had..no, HAS Uncle Yaten's temper problem."
"What's that suppossed to mean?!?!" Both Healer and HealerVenus demanded.
Fighter laughed. "I kinda guessed that..."
"Oh...nothing...." Wolf said, rolling her eyes. Everyone tried to surpress a laugh.
The other Starlights and their princess knelt down next to Fighter. "H-how....I was there when you.....you were...you were dead...." Fighter smiled weakly at Healer. "I still am....The locket that Odango wears around her neck allows me to come back when she opens it. Usually when she needs me." she groaned and winced. "Otosan.." Wolf said worridly. Mercury came over. "This is serious...but we can't take her back to the palace..."
"Then what are we suppossed to do?!?!" Uranus cried. Everyone stared at her. "I-I mean....I wanted to go back, but we obviously can't since Fighter-baka's all hurt....yeah.."
HealerVenus giggled. "Uranus-kun's worried about you, Uncle."
Fighter chuckled as Uranus glarred at the girl. "Thank you, Uranus. It's very much appreciated."
Uranus blinked and turned away, muttering something along the lines of "Don't mention it..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grim glarred at the older boy. "I still can't believe you did that, Liam."
"I-I'm sorry, sir....but she made you cry..." Liam knelt before him, face hidden. He knew now how much he was going to regret that on action of his part.
"You're just lucky that.....Cheetah or whatever stopped you. She really earned that nickname of hers."
Liam caught his breath, remembering her face inches from his. "Y-yes she did..."
Grim looked down at him. "Liam....do you have something to tell me?" He smiled.
"Well....uh...you see..." Liam blushed a little, sighed, and looked off. "She has her eyes....Venus'......That blue that seems to search your soul..."
Grim blinked and remembered something Fighter had said to her. "Liam....did you catch the name? HealerVenus. I think she is related to...Venus...."
Liam looked back sharply. "You mean to say she actually.....married him?"
Grim shrugged. "I guess so. She was going to anyhow."
Liam's face fell. "Great. Just great."
