Oh My God! I can't do
this! The only others who knew my
identity were the scouts, my father, and maybe Murakumo!
"Um, I haven't exactly been
honest with the TAC on my backgrounds…Matsudaira, could you get everyone into
the lab?" Time to get Murakumo's attention. After saying this, Serena concentrated on her mitama. Murakumo? What is it princess? I need you to come to the TAC lab now. Coming, my princess.
When Serena opened her eyes
again the entire TAC crew was looking at her questioningly.
"Serena…What's the meaning
of this impromptu meeting?"
"I have something to tell
you…something that I've been allowed to tell you with permission from my
father; I am Sailor Cosmos, guardian of the Universe, daughter to Susano-oh and
the keeper of balance."
Just as Serena said this,
Murakumo entered the room. All eyes
slid off of her and onto him.
"What the hell are you doing
here!?" screams Sakura, Sugishita, Kome, and Ryoko in unison.
Murakumo rose to his full
height and calmly stated, "She asked me to come here." His eyes glued to the
now glowing Serena. All Stared at
Murakumo as he stared at Serena, they all could see the loving look he bestowed
upon the princess, frankly, they were surprised to see that emotion from
Murakumo. Then, Serena screams three
words: "Cosmic Star Power!" and is Sailor Cosmos.
"Oh my god! She was telling
the truth!" exclaims a stunned Kome.
"I knew that she wasn't
human!" screams a triumphant Sakura.
"Serena er…Cosmos, why did
you decide to reveal yourself now?" asks Kunikida.
"Well…the whole blood test
and physical would've given me away. You see, Sakura is correct in assuming that I'm not human. I am lunarian with some of my father's
powers mixed into my blood. I don't
bleed red blood, I bleed silver."
"By the way princess, why
did you summon me?"
"I asked you to come here
Murakumo, for support and as a display of trust. Father suggested that I tell them my identity but I was
questioning his judgment and needed your help." She says as she gives Murakumo
a sweet smile.
"Wait a minute, you said
Lunarian…as in from the moon?" asks Yoshiki.
"Yes."
"But how is that possible! The
moon is uninhabitable!"
"It was livable around five
millennia ago, I know this for a fact because I was born on the moon and grew
up there."
"FIVE MILLENIA! Just how old
are you?!" everyone asks.
"Lunarians have a long
lifespan…also the fact that I wield the Imperium Silver Crystal helps me."
"In what way?" ask
Matsudaira.
"The crystal lengthens the
lifespan of Lunarian royalty, but also gives the aforementioned royalty powers
to harness and defend their planet's powers."
"So you're royalty?" asks
Sugishita.
"Yes, my original title was
Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, daughter of Queen Serenity ruler of the
Silver Millennium."
"What is that?"
"Have any of you heard of
the legend of the moon goddess Selene and her love Endymon?"
"Yes, it's taught in every
school as a part of our culture."
"It's so nice to be
remembered…anyway, that myth is true to a point. There was a moon goddess and she did fall in love with a mortal,
and the mortal loved her, only he didn't stay in eternal slumber, he went with
her to the moon and helped to populate it…Selene is my great grandmother. To answer your question, during that time
every planet in our solar system and some in others were inhabited and had
their own royalty. Each planet had a
princess who served as a part of my court and as my protectors. The silver millennium was one giant
intergalactic peace treaty that kept war from occurring for close to two
thousand years."
"I remember this for I to
was a part of this silver millennium. I
was one of Lord Susano-oh's guards and had been sent as an emissary for peace
for the earth." Stated Murakumo.
Serena just stared at him in
shock. "I don't remember they're being
an emissary of my father's at the moon kingdom!" she said.
"I arrived the night of the
grand ball. I was there to sign a peace
treaty with the moon and to ask for assistance on a small problem by the name
of Beryl/Metallia."
"Oh my God! That was you!"
Serena screams. She suddenly turns
white and bends over clutching her head in agony. Murakumo quickly comes over to the princess and holds her upright
until he can get her settled onto the examining table.
"My Princess! Are you all
right?" he asks in panic.
"I'm okay except for the
horrible headache from the inflow of new memories of the past."
"Here." Murakumo quickly
pulls out his blue rose and offers this to his princess. As she smells this, both of them remember
who each was and their relationship with each other. Each gasp in surprise as the clues to what happened fall into
place. Serena then throws herself into
Murakumo's arms whispering softly, "It's you. You're the one from my
dreams! I've missed you so."
"And I you princess."
The others stare in
shock. "Um…guys is it just me or do
they seem like they're in a trance?" asks a bewildered Momiji. Matsudaira quickly comes up to the couple
with a scanner and says, "Momiji, you were right. This revelation has sent them into some sort of trancelike state
to save their sanity. Oh my."
"What is it!" everyone yells
in unison.
"Well…the two seem to have a
kind of soul bond…or in simple layman's terms they are soul mates and
have just had over five thousand years of mental catching up to do."
Just as Matsudaira finished
saying this, Serena and Murakumo snap out of their trance. Serena is silently crying and Murakumo just
held her looking grim.
"What happened?"
"We both got a memory
jumpstart…so to speak." Says a deadly calm Murakumo.
"W…We had a mind meld. I remember everything that has happened to
both of us in the course of five millennia, starting with Chaos' henchman
Beryl/Metallia."
"Oh…love, you'll never have
to go through that again…we're ready for him this time."
"I know, but will I be
fighting for the world or for vengeance? My bastard of an uncle killed off all of my closest friends and
protectors and forced me to become Cosmos in 1900. You see…I was once known as Sailor Moon, leader of the Sailor
Scouts, Protectors of Tokyo. He has
some of their star seeds…Star Fighter, Star Healer, Star Maker, Fireball, and
the bearer of the golden crystal, Tuxedo Mask."
"Serenity…love, we'll face
that bastard together! I too have a
bone to pick with him…he killed all of my friends and family while I was off
world; after I had visited you, I had intended to go after him alone and half
cocked…but…we didn't exactly make it to that part, did we?"
"Sailor Moon?! As in the
Cartoon, Comic, and video games!" asks Sugishita.
"Trust that maniac to
remember that stuff…but, I remember that to!" says Kome.
"She once saved an ancestor
of mine from death." Says Kunikida.
"What!"
"That's right…she risked her
own life to save my great great great grandmother, Molly from danger."
"Oh My God! Did you just say
Molly?!" screams Serena. "She was my
best friend before I became a sailor scout and has been ever since in my
memory…So…you're one of Molly and Melvin's descendants."
Suddenly, the room darkened
and Serena felt something try to enter the building. She quickly lifts her head up and screams, "Mars Fire
Barrier!" She then looks exhausted and wearily
decides to pass out from the usage of so much energy in so little a time. Murakumo sees this and immediately picks her
up again and brings her to Matsudaira. "What's wrong with her!" "She just passed out from the use of to much
energy. According to my readings, she
used enough power to keep this planet lit up like a Christmas tree non-stop for
two years!" says a surprised Matsudaira. "Anyways, Murakumo, you know were she lives, don't you? Why don't you
take her home and put her to sleep."
Murakumo holds on to his
love and teleports to her apartment. "Oh, my love, you're trying to take on to much yet again…well, I'm going
to protect you even more than before…not just for duty…but…for love." He gazes down at the silvery beauty and
brushes her bangs out of her face. He
then takes her to her room and lays her down on her bed. He bends down and steals a kiss from her
lips and says, "Goodnight my princess…my love." He then leaves the complex. Just as he leaves the building, he senses a dark power coming towards
Serena's apartment!
"Oh My God! NO! SERENITY!"
he rushes back towards the apartment but is to late. On the floor is a note; It said that if he ever wanted to see his
princess again, he'd have to bring Momiji and Kusanagi to Chaos.
"I'd better show this to the
TAC. They might know of a way to free
my beloved from this or at least help distract that imperfect soul so that I
can save her myself." And with that
Murakumo teleported back to the TAC.
