Chapter 4 …… Legends Are Told
Outside the club everyone gathers by the girls bikes.
"So who's going with who?" asks Rei as she looks at the bikes.
"I can go with Darien if you don't mind going on my bike with Ami." Says Serena looking at Rei with a sweet smile.
"Um no I don't mind. Darien?" says Rei as she looks at Darien.
"Ok. As long as you know where you are going."
"Great Where are you parked Darien?" asks Mina as she climbs on Lita's bike.
"Around the corner. Wait here and I'll get the car." Says Darien as he walks away from the girls.
"So Serena you like Darien?" asks Rei after Darien is around the corner.
"Yeah I do. There is something about him that seems familiar to me. But I know we have never met."
"I knew it." Says Mina softly.
"You know what Mina. I just realized we have never been to your house." Says Ami.
"Hey your right. You never even talk about your life away from us." Says Serena.
"I know. You never asked so why would I bring up something that wasn't important?" says Mina as she smiles at the girls.
"Hey you need a lift?" asks Darien as he rolls down his window as he pulls up to the girls.
"That's your car!" says Serena a bit loud.
Darien chuckles, "Yup. Come on and get in. Mina lead the way."
"Ok." Say Mina and Serena together.
Serena walks around the front of the car and gets in the passengers seat. While Lita and Ami start the bikes and Mina and Rei climb on behind them.
Mina tells Lita where to go and Lita nods. Lita pulls away from the curb followed by Ami and Darien.
Within five minutes they reach Mina's apartment complex. They all park along the curb and turn of their engines. Darien and Serena climb out of the car and Darien locks it. Mina, Ami, Lita and Rei climb off the bikes and they take off their helmets.
"Come on guys." says Mina as she runs for the front door.
Everyone follows Mina into the building and into the elevator.
"I don't like these things." Whines Serena as she grabs onto Darien's arm when the elevator doors close.
"Sorry Serena but I'm in the penthouse. I doubt we would want to walk all they way up there." Says Mina as she pushes the button for the penthouse.
The ride up the elevator is quite except for Serena's quite whimpers.
The elevator doors open to reveal a small foyer with only one door. Mina takes out her keys and unlocks the door and walks inside, "Coming?" she says as she looks back and sees everyone still in the foyer.
Everyone smiles and walks into the huge apartment.
"Oh my god Mina. This place is beautiful. Where are your parents?" says Rei as she looks around the open space.
"I don't have parents." Says Mina as she kicks off her shoes and drops her keys on the hallway table. "Artemis!" yells Mina.
"Who's that?" asks Lita as she takes off her boots.
"My cat. Now where is he?" says Mina as she looks around the living room floor.
Rei, Serena, Ami and Darien take off their shoes and follow Lita into the living room. Mina is standing in the middle of the room holding a pure white cat with a gold crescent moon on its forehead.
"Guys this is my cat Artemis. Artemis say hello." Says Mina as she sets the cat down on the coffee table and she sits in a big white oversized chair.
"Funny Mina but how is a cat supposed to talk?" asks Serena as she kneels down on the floor and looks closely at the cat.
"I do talk you silly girl. Mina are these the people you told me about?"
"Holy shit he talks." Says Rei as she stumbles back and falls onto the couch.
"Your right I do talk. Mina these people can't be the one's we have been looking for."
"They are. But they don't know who they are." Says Mina not even looking at Artemis on the table, she's looking at everyone else, "Please guys sit down."
Artemis studies the group of teens before him, "My god Mina your right. They are the ones. They look exactly the same as they did so very long ago."
"I told you. Look at Serena and Darien." Says Mina pointing to Serena who is siting on Darien's lap on the floor.
"Wow I bet you two don't even know why you are attracted to each other. This is amazing. I only wish I had of found Luna so she could be here." Says Artemis as he walks across the table and sits back down on the table in front of Serena and Darien.
"Who's Luna?" asks Lita.
"Luna is Artemis's love. They were advisors to the queen of the moon. When they were sent to earth to be safe Luna got lost from us." Says Mina as she watches Artemis jumps off the table and slowly leave the room.
"Can I ask what Luna looks like?" asks Darien.
"Like Artemis but she is black." Says Mina.
"Is this her?" says Darien as he pulls out his wallet and pulls out a picture of him, Rei and his cat.
Mina takes the picture and smiles. She gets up and runs out of the room. She comes back in a moment later with Artemis in her arms. She puts him down on the table and hands Darien his photo back still smiling.
"You have Luna." Says Artemis with happiness filling his voice.
"If that's her in the picture. Yeah I do, but she never talks like you do."
"Oh she's too proper. She wouldn't talk until the right time came around."
"Oh. Well do you want to meet her again?" says Darien as he sees Artemis get happy with the thought of his love found.
"Not yet. Mina has brought you here for a reason. She knows the legends because I told her them. What do you know about the legends? Serena you first."
"Oh well just that there was a kingdom on the moon. It was a happy and peaceful place. The princess of the moon fell in love with a prince from the earth. They were torn apart by war and they were killed and saved by the queen and sent to earth." Says Serena as she leans on the tables and rests her head in her arms watching Artemis. "You seem familiar to me though."
"The rest of you?"
"Oh the same." Everyone says at once.
"Should we tell them?" asks Mina showing signs of her getting impatient.
"Tell us what?" asks Ami.
"Well the princess of the moon had her own special guards. They were princess of their own planets but they all formed together to protect the princess should the need arise. You three (Artemis looks at Rei, Ami and Lita) along with Mina are those four princesses. The Sailor Scouts you were called. I think you know your planets."
"Well that explains the tattoos." Says Rei.
"Yes but there is more." Says Artemis looking at Serena and Darien.
"I'm the moon princess and Darien is my love the prince from earth." Says Serena as she lifts her head off the table.
"Your right. Do you remember?" asks Mina.
"No I just guessed, But wait in a way it makes sense."
"You girls just need to remember you're past that's all. That is where Luna comes in, she can give you your memories back. I can only give Mina hers because I was her cat on the moon. Now we can see Luna."
"Well wait. We remember our pasts, fine. But what are we to do with them?" asks Darien.
"There is another scout. I can't remember who she was though. We have to find her. Sailor Moon, she never showed up on the moon but before the queen died she said 'find Sailor Moon you will need her to bring peace'. I have been searching for quite some time. Mina remembered who she was and she has been helping."
"So we find this Sailor Moon then what?" asks Serena.
"I'm not sure. We just have to find her. Luna has your transformation items with her."
"Transformation?" says Ami looking down at the floor.
"Mina do you want to show them?" asks Artemis looking over at Mina.
"Ok but you know I hate this." Says Mina as she stands up. She holds her hand high above her head and yells, "Venus Power." Suddenly a bright white light fills the room and just as it comes it goes and Mina is standing there in a white body suit with an orange skirt and a sailor scarf.
"Wow." Says Lita.
Mina closes her eyes and the bright light comes back into the room and fades again to show Mina in her normal clothes.
"You have got to teach me that." Giggles Serena.
"Sorry Serena but the princess never fights." Says Mina softly.
"Oh well that sucks big time." Grumbles Serena getting a laugh from Darien.
