Chapter 25 …… The Meeting (Part I)
"Dosei I will find out. I know you have Chad with you." Mutters Mars as she stands on the top of Tokyo Tower and looks out at the city. Suddenly she feels someone calling her.
"Mars you want to see what your Chad has become. Come to my room at Darien's."
'Should I listen to the voice? What has happened to Chad?' thinks Mars as she looks at the lights of the city.
"That's it I'm going." Says Mars as she jumps from the tower and across buildings making her way to Darien's house.
"But how do we know where Dosei is?" asks Venus.
"Neptune, Mercury did you find out anything?" asks Serenity as she looks over her shoulder at the scouts behind her.
Neptune looks at Mercury.
"She's at Darien's house but I'm not really sure what room. It is one that I have never seen." Says Mercury.
"Good were going." Says Serenity before she closes her eyes and disappears.
"Holy shit where did she go?" says Endymion a bit too loud.
"To your house. She took the quick way." Says Pluto.
"We can travel like that we have to run." Says Uranus before jumping out of the window to the next building and running across the roof.
"Come on we have to go now." Says Endymion as he runs and jumps after Uranus.
The rest of the scouts follow.
"Good they are all coming but the two I want will be here first." Says Dosei with a wicked smile.
"Dosei forgive me but you never did tell me why they tried to kill you. And how did I die?" says Chad as he stands beside Dosei looking into her dark pool of water and seeing the scouts leave Ami's.
"They tried to kill me because they knew if I was there for the battle no one would be spared. They were right. If my other form was shown I would destroy all. It is in my nature. Death, Destruction and Reborn."
"But why kill me?"
"They didn't kill you. Mars did. She saw the attempt the queen and her daughter made. She also saw you and your partner over there," Dosei points to the sleeping Alex, "and you coming to my aid. She didn't know why but she knew the queen and her daughter had a reason for trying to kill me. If you two came to my aid I would live and they would die. So she stopped you."
"She, she killed me?" stammers Chad.
"She did Chad." Says a soft voice from the corner of the room.
Dosei and Chad look up to see Princess Serenity standing there.
"So you have arrived before your faithful scout Mars."
"Not long before Dosei." Says another strong but soft voice from the window of the room.
Chad turns around to see Sailor Mars standing there and suddenly the memories of her killing him and Alex flood his mind.
"Hello Sailor Mars. It is good to see you." Says Dosei not even looking at Mars.
"Why have you returned Dosei?" asks Serenity.
"To kill you." Says Dosei flatly as she snaps her fingers and Chad turns around to look at Serenity.
"No." screams Mars and she runs across the room and stands in front of Serenity.
"You think you can protect her Mars? You couldn't protect her on the moon kingdom. I know you tried but she killed herself and you couldn't stop her. You lost your best friend and you killed the one man you truly loved." Says Dosei.
Alex stirs and groans. He lifts his head and opens his eyes to see the room and the people around him.
"Mistress my partner has woken. Shall we give him back his memories?" says Chad as he looks at Alex chained to the wall.
Dosei smiles and another black and silver chalice appears and floats in front of her. "Give him the liquid." She says looking at Chad.
Chad takes the chalice and walks over to Alex. "Alex have a drink." He says as he holds the chalice to Alex's lips.
Dosei turns back to Mars and Serenity. "You know your friends will not get here in time."
"They will come in time for us to kill you." Says Mars as she glares at Dosei.
"Even if they do you think Endymion will help kill me?"
"He will." Says Mars again.
Dosei changes into Hotaru. Hotaru stands there and smiles sweetly. "Do you think that Endymion will kill his cousin. Whom he loves very deeply. I was the only one in the entire family who he trusted. Do you honestly think he is going to kill me?"
"He won't I know he won't. That is what you want too. We can't kill you without his powers and you know that. But why should I have to kill you?" says Serenity.
Mars looks at Serenity oddly.
Serenity smiles at Mars and steps around her and walks to Hotaru.
"Serenity don't!" says Mars but before she can move to stop her she is slammed against the wall by Chad and Alex.
"Hotaru I don't want to kill you. I want to be friends with you." Says Serenity as she changes back into Serena.
"Do you think I can forget what happened back on the Moon Kingdom?" says Hotaru as she backs up as Serena walks towards her.
"Why not just leave it in the past. I was foolish and so was my mother. We were scared of you, and of what you might do to us and our Kingdom."
"Why not just ask me to leave?"
"Hotaru would you have left if we asked?"
"No I guess not. But I knew what was coming and I knew you couldn't win unless I killed everyone."
"So Sailor Mars we meet again." Sneers Alex.
"Listen, let me go. I'm sorry for killing you so long ago."
"I know you were just doing what you thought you had to do." Says Chad.
"Please I am very sorry. Your right, I thought I had to kill you to protect everyone. You two are almost as strong as Dosei I couldn't let you hurt anyone."
"Don't worry Rei everything will work out fine no one will be killed." Whispers Chad into her ear.
Mars looks at Chad oddly and then to Alex.
Outside Darien's house Uranus arrives only seconds before everyone else.
"Come on they are most likely in Hotaru's room." Says Endymion.
"You will have to kill her you know." Says Neptune.
Endymion looks at the scouts and sighs.
"No he won't." says Pluto.
"What do you mean?" asks Jupiter.
"I mean no one will die. We will all live." Says Pluto as she looks up at the house.
