Chapter 24 …… Dosei Is Back For Revenge
"Serena when you came out of the bathroom you said you couldn't change yet. Why can't you?" asks Endymion.
"Because she can't change while someone's powers are in use. She is always either the first to change or the last." Says Pluto as she walks over to the bed and sits down beside Serena.
"Really?" asks Jupiter.
"Yeah, Pluto is right. But there is another reason, but I can't tell you." Says Serena as she stares at the floor.
Neptune and Mercury come out of the bathroom. "We know where she is." Says Mercury as she walks over to Jupiter.
"Good but before we go anywhere there is something we have to figure out." Says Venus; "Pluto you also said you know our secrets and you looked right at Rei while you said that. Does she have a secret?"
Pluto looks at Mars.
"I do have a secret. A secret about our past and who we are."
"Are you going to tell us?" asks Venus.
"No."
"Why not!?" says Jupiter.
"Because I can't."
"So the scouts are having trouble finding out everything about each other. They will not come here for a bit." Says a tall, pale woman with long black hair.
She turns around and looks at Chad and Alex chained to the wall. She smiles, "I know you two are more than you seem. You are special like they are."
The boys are too weak to struggle against their chains anymore. They just hang there on the wall bound by chains and gagged.
'Who are you?' thinks Chad.
"Who am I?" asks the woman.
Chad looks at her with his eyes wide. 'You can read my thoughts?' he thinks again.
"Of course I can. You need to control your thoughts. Alex over there has fallen asleep and dreams of him and Mina. You think of Rei, you love her very much but you don't know how she feels about you."
'Please take off the gag. I can't scream and even if I could I know it would do no good.' Thinks Chad.
The woman smiles and walks over to Chad. She takes off his gag and throws it on the floor beside him.
"So who are you?" asks Chad.
"Me I am the one of darkness and destruction, Princess Saturn. But you can still call me Hotaru if you wish or you may call me by my true name."
"Please tell me your true name." Says Chad.
"Dosei."
"That's Japanese right?"
"It is. It means Saturn as in the planet. You may call me what you wish I do not mind." Says the woman as she turns her back to Chad and walks over to a black bowl on a pedestal filled with water.
"What do you plan on doing Dosei?"
"I plan on giving the scouts and their Prince and Princess what they deserve. Long ago they forced me to hurt people. They must pay."
"What do you mean long ago?"
Dosei turns back around and looks at Chad. "The girls and Darien are much older than they seem. They are the last of the moon kingdom. It was destroyed by me because of what they did. Well not by me by my other form, but it's still me."
"What did they do to you?"
"Hmm you are a smart one Chad. You honestly think I'm going to tell you?" says Dosei as she places her right hand on her cheek and cocks her head to the side.
"I think you want to tell someone. You just don't know who to tell." Says Chad.
"I can see you are as I remember you."
"I'm sorry what?" says Chad.
"You are just as old as they are." Says Dosei as she makes a picture of Rei, Mina, Darien, Serena, Lita, Mina, and three other girls appear in her hands.
"I don't get it." Says Chad as he looks from the picture to Dosei's face.
"Hmmm, do you want to understand?"
Chad thinks for a minute but his curiosity gets the better of him, "I want to know."
"Good. All you have to do is drink this." Says Dosei as a black and silver chalice appears floating in the air between her and Chad.
"What is it?"
"Just a drink. You want to remember you have to drink this." Says Dosei as she takes the chalice in her hands and steps up in front of Chad. She holds the chalice to his lips.
Chad doesn't even think he just drinks the liquid from the chalice. The taste is wonderful, despite the actual thinness of the liquid it feels think as it goes down Chad's throaght. He drinks it all and smiles.
"Do you remember yet?" asks Dosei as she steps back.
Chad looks up at her and smiles a wicked grin, his eyes are black. "I remember everything now."
"Good. You don't need those chains anymore." Says Dosei with a smile. She snaps her fingers and the chains disappear and Chad stands tall.
"I remember what the queen and her daughter the princess did to you on the moon kingdom. You came under the secret of being a slave but they knew who you really were. The day of the end the queen and her daughter came to you and tried to kill you because….. why did they try to kill you?"
"Mars why can't you say anything?" asks Endymion.
"Because I told her never to say anything." Says Princess Serenity.
"How did you change? We didn't see a bright light." Says Jupiter.
"I can't explain it. I don't need the light."
"Ok fine. But why tell her not to say anything?" asks Neptune.
"Because I am protecting the princess and the memory of our queen." Says Mars from the corner of the room by the windows.
"I don't get it." Says Venus.
"And you won't. Because it will be hard for you all to understand. Although I fear it will all come out in the open soon. I don't want to go and find Dosei."
At the mention of the name Dosei, Mars looks at Serenity and starts to shake with fear. "S.s.s.s.he's h.h.h.here?"
Everyone looks at Mars and then to Serenity.
"Yes she is." Says Serenity quietly.
"Who's Dosei?" asks Mercury.
"Princess Saturn. Dosei is her name it means Saturn in Japanese." Says Uranus.
"It's not good that she is here." Says Pluto. "It's also not good that one of her knights has remembered who they are."
"What?" say Venus and Endymion at the same time.
"Dosei always had two knights with her and they are almost as strong as she is. If they remember what happened in the past they will not be pleased." Says Mars. "They won't be pleased with Serenity or with me."
"With you what did you do?" asks Serenity as she looks at Mars.
"After what happened before the final battle I killed them both. I saw what you and the queen did. I knew that I wasn't supposed to but I did see it all. Dosei's knights came rushing down the hall to her aid but I cut them off and killed them. I don't want them to remember because I know who the knights are." Says Mars as she gets up from the chair and opens the windows.
"Don't go after them Mars. Don't do it." Says Serenity but she's too late because Mars has jumped out of the window and onto the roof of the next building.
Everyone still in the bedroom rush to the windows to see Mars jumping across the rooftops.
"Where is she going?" asks Venus.
"To Dosei. To try and finish what me and my mother started so long ago." Says Serenity.
