Chapter 10: Expectations
"Where am I? Usagi! What's going on!?"
/Oh, don't worry young one, you'll be safe soon. Just concentrate on your destination, and you'll be out in no time./
"What!? Who said that?!"
/./
"Oh, what's going on, where am I?"
/In the time warp, of course. And if I were you, I'd start thinking of my destination, before it's too late. You want to defeat the Negaverse right? I do believe that there is a different way to show anger. /
"What do you mean? Who are you?"
/Who I am doesn't matter right now. I mean that you are too strong to fight on the loosing side. You admit that you do not like your leader. A slob who does nothing but kiss up on her boyfriend, right? /
"Yeah, but I'm loyal, unlike Rei and Ami, if the Negaverse has gotten her to their side yet."
/She's smart, she always does what she thinks is best for others. And what about Luna and Artemis? Do you think they would have joined with the Negaverse if they didn't think it was the right thing to do? /
"I will always be loyal to my princess."
/The princess is the only one who can control the Silver Crystal. You saw what happened with your leader tried to use it. The princess could control it, she could not. What do you think now? /
" I don't know, she is still my princess."
/No, you're true princess is the one that will free you from your prison from under the power of the false one. Do you truly think that Venus is destined to be the Queen? /
".."
/Hmmm.just the way Usagi found Mars. Lost in the world, not knowing what was which. But the truth is, Mars knows who her princess is. Who is your princess, Jupiter? /
"Princess Serenity."
/Correct, now, is Venus, the general of the sailor scouts your princess? Or is she only your leader? Who should you be with? Your supposed leader? Or your princess? Which is more important? /
"Princess Serenity. She's the one I'm destined to follow. But I don't know where or who she is."
/You know, Luna and Artemis knew. Who is the one that is Princess Serenity? /
"Usagi. She is the princess. Luna and Artemis called her Serenity. Usagi is Princess Serenity."
/Now you know who you are to protect. Now go to her. /
She concentrated, concentrated hard. She saw Princess Serenity, she saw Usagi. She saw Usagi with Mercury, Mars, and a man she didn't know. Mercury was bowing in front of him. She saw her sign appear on her forehead, and she saw her uniform vanish into a blue sleeveless and strapless dress. She was no longer Sailor Mercury. She was Princess Ami of Mercury. Jupiter concentrated harder, and she vanished from the time warp.
Aulley smiled, Jupiter found her princess.
***
"What do you want with me?" Mercury asked, her voice shivering as Usagi circled her. Usagi said nothing; she turned her head towards Rei, who wore a magenta dress with red gloves, simple, but formal.
"Mercury!" A small voice came from the corner of the room. Rini ran in her pink boots, a pink leather skirt, and white tank top to Usagi's side, to look at Mercury.
She looked up at Usagi.
"Usagi-mama, is Mercury going to come to our side like Rei did?"
Mercury looked shocked at Rini, she had just called Usagi her mother. But Minako was her mother, right? What the hell was going on here?
"You're supposed to be with Rubius. Where is he?" Usagi asked, looking to where Rini came from.
"I was, but then he sensed that Aulley was doing something she shouldn't be. So he sent me to you and he went to find out what was wrong with her. And here I am!"
Ami didn't listen to the side conversation. She looked over to Rei.
"Rei, why did you leave us? Why did you betray us? Was it just a set up? Or do you really still care about what happens to us? Your 'real' friends?" Mercury said, sadly, pleading Rei with her eyes.
Rei looked at Mercury, whose eyes were watering. She had never been betrayed by someone before, Usagi had been betrayed, Ami had betrayed Rei, Mamoru had betrayed Minako, but Ami had never been betrayed before. *Bet that's a kick in the head, Mercury. * She thought.
Usagi growled a bit as Mercury accused her of not being a true friend. *I'm the one who freed her you ninny. Boy I outta. *
"Ami, I didn't betray you. I'm trying to help you, you and Makoto. You've been cheated into thinking that Minako is the princess. She's not. She is everything but the princess. She hates her supposed daughter, she is actually in love with Endymion, the one the princess is supposed to hate and always will hate, throughout the generations and lifetimes. Besides, Rini has pink hair. Do you honestly think that blonde and black would make pink? Does it make since?" Rei asked her.
Mercury thought for quite a while. She looked at Rini; her pink hair was put up in the peculiar style it always was in. She had red eyes. Mamoru had dark blue eyes, and Minako had blue eyes, blue and blue don't make red. Then she noticed something she hadn't before. The resemblance between Usagi and Rini. Their hair was put up in similar style, except Rini had cones instead of buns. She thought of the logicalness of the situation. Rini was no doubt the royal princess. Putting two and two together, there was something that she could not place. The way they acted more like mother and daughter, than Minako and Rini did. She loved Rini, Minako didn't. But then who was the father? She quickly went through all of the men in the Black Moon Family in her head. Diamond, Sapphire, Rubius. RUBIUS! It all matched up! Pink hair, Serenity had silver hair, silver and red.pink! And Rubius's eyes, red! Perfect! She knew now. Rubius and Usagi were Rini's parents!!
Mercury gasped. *Rubius and Usagi! Of course! Serenity loved the forbidden one back in the Silver Millennium. She was in love with an evil being. Someone that she could never be with. He was evil. Queen Serenity.. banished the bad from the moon. Nemesis. That was where they were banished.
It was all coming together.
Mercury looked at Usagi. The silver aura was around her now, she could see it. Princess Serenity, they had found her.
"Mercury?"
Mercury looked to see Luna and Artemis in between Usagi and Rini.
"You know don't you, Ami? We knew it and now you know it as well. What do you choose? What you think? Or what you know?" Luna asked, putting on paw in front of the other, as if to run to her if she said the correct answer.
Mercury looked pleadingly at Rei, who was just smiling at her, as if she would still be her friend and understand if by chance she was still going to be loyal to Minako. Ami then looked over to Usagi, and for once, she didn't have the usual sneer, she wasn't expressionless, and emotion she couldn't read. She looked at her for a while, wondering what it was. Usagi smiled at her, not a smirk, a smile. Ami then looked at Rini. She was snuggling up to Usagi's leg. She was looking at Ami. She smiled her childlike smile. She was a smart girl, needing guidance every once in a while. She thought of Minako and Mamoru, and suddenly she didn't find them so warm and inviting anymore. And now, the Black Moon Family looked welcoming and hearty, she smiled.
"Okay. I want to be with you guys. Minako and Mamoru can go to hell." She said, and smiled as Rei, Luna, Artemis, and Rini gasped.
Oh, boy, she's not going to be the sweet and innocent Ami for much longer.
Usagi smiled at her. "Well, at least she dropped the innocent act, that's going to make a better warrior, with no weaknesses, maybe she'll do after all."
Usagi disappeared through in the shadows, but they could hear a door open and close, signaling a doorway in the shadows, explaining how Rini had made her sudden entrance. Rini ran after Usagi, and Rei nodded at Ami, and they together walked through the door, Luna and Artemis were on Rei and Ami's shoulders.
***
"Well, well, well. Another transposes. No doubt there will be another one pretty soon. At least this one can stand up." Diamond shot a look at Rei, "Of course, you were pretty battered, so I'll let you slide. So, this is Sailor Mercury. I'm going to invoice the same thing as I did with your friend. The demands stand. Usa will inform you of that soon. Do you renounce you're title as a sailor scout?"
Mercury looked up at the cold-hearted prince. *Handsome, but cold. * She nodded at him. "Yes." She said.
Mercury's uniform disappeared, and her princess dress appeared on her. She stood smiling. She was happy.
There was a green blast. And someone yelled.
"I DO TO!!!"
Everyone turned, the green light faded, and Jupiter, no, Princess Makoto of Jupiter appeared in her princess dress. She bowed to Diamond for a second then rose again.
Diamond smirked. "Fine. Now we need to find out what happened to our dear Sailor Venus and Tuxedo boy. Usa, Rubius, go make sure they are never found." He disappeared.
Rubius and Usagi looked at each other, and nodded.
Wise Man was looking at Makoto and Ami and Rei. "Hmmm. you three. Venus carries the silver crystal, am I correct?"
They nodded. "Venus can use it, but cannot control it, correct?"
Another nod.
"Would she be dumb enough to use it on Usagi, even though it may kill her?" He asked again.
A half nod, then a gasp.
"I thought so."
Wise Man thought, he thought hard about it. His little girl was going against Minako, the one who foolishly thought she was the true holder of the silver crystal. The ingrate would think that her powers were enough, and use it against Usagi. The consequences would be, if Usagi were so strong she could withstand the impact, she would still be very injured at the least. Minako would surely die. But if Usagi still went against her.
Wise Man looked to the ceiling. *Usagi is marching straight to her death. I won't be able to make it in time. Usagi, I hope you will survive; you're my flesh and blood. Live for me, live for your mother. If not for us, live for Rubius. *
***
Ooooo, Is Usagi going to die? Can Rubius save her? Will she stand for the power of the Silver Crystal? Short chapter, I know, but I had to have some suspense in this story. Probably the worst cliffy you've ever had on a story, hugh? Hehehe. Sorry bout that. Oh, and I found a little something for all you that wanted to see Rubius against Tux boy. It's short, but they are fighting. I figured it's better than nothing.
