Chapter Seventeen - Storms of Love and lightning
"Five, six, seven eight," Hotaru mumbled to herself, this was probably
the hundreth or so time she had counted the tiles on the ceiling of the
elevator.
He eyes began to droop large dark circles under them, she hadn't gotten
much sleep during the night... especially with what the two other outers were
doing.
"Nine, ten, eleven, twelve," Hotaru mumbled on, she gave a great yawn
and wondered how Neptune and Uranus had been able to fall asleep so easily on
the cold floor... especially like that.
'My mind is scared for the rest of my life with the images of that' she
thought, finally she got frustrated and banged the wall with her fist.
"Owww," she said with a wince, she rubbed it with her other hand and
sighed.
"Please, oh so please get me out of here soon," she begged, she really
hoped to get out of this place soon... really soon.
***
"Stupid gates of time," Pluto screamed, the usually calm senshi of time
was looking most unlike her self. Her green hair was frizzled from stress and
restless nights, and her red eyes had a strange wild glint to them.
"Stupid door," she growled, with that she kicked the door that led to
the future (right... well just leave that alone okay).
"I want out of here, I need to protect Max," she cried, but still she
was trapped in the gates of time with no way to see what was happening in the
real world or any time... she could see nothing.
'When I'm out of here, I so need a shower' she thought as she ranted,
she hadn't been able to wash since coming here (you get the picture, stinky
Pluto).
"When I get out of here (mutter... mutter... mutter) I'm going to send my
attack up someone's butt, that someone is going to be whoever got me stuck
here," she growled angrily (scary picture, try not to think about it).
Lets move on shall we, at least we know what's going on with Pluto at
the moment.

Luna yawned as she slowly woke up, she turned slightly to look at the
white moon feline sleeping beside her. During there captive time by the evil
Artimus had been the one sane thing in her life, mind you he drove her insane
many times but she loved the immature feline.
'Oh Artimus, everything we dreamed of has gone to hell... and I don't even
know where Usagi is' she thought sadly, she smiled as she remembered the time
she had lived with Usagi.
The reincarnated moon princess had grown on her, even with her bad
grades, bad habits and sleeping habits. She didn't know what she would do
without Usagi, she knew that even if Usagi hadn't been the moon princess
reborn she would probably of stayed with the cheerful blond.
'Usagi, please be near' she thought, looking up she read a sign above.
"Welcome to Domino City," she read, she had a good feeling about this
city.
***
Hikari sighed in comfort as he slowly woke up, he was so warm and the
feel of familiar arms around him made him not want to wake up. With a smile
and a small giggle Hikari opened his blue eyes, still smiling he turned his
body and cuddled closer to the other person.
'Bakura looks so cute while asleep, its nice that he sleeps like Kage'
Hikari thought, he slowly moved his body till he was face to face with the
other pale haired teen. This was actually kind of hard to do with the way
Bakura was holding him, but he had the perfect way to wake up his koi.
Slowly he leaned closer to Bakuras face, with gentle lips he captured
the others boys with his own, he slowly felt Bakura returning his kiss as he
woke up.
Finally Hikari pulled away once his koi was fully awake, he happily
smiled at his koi who returned that smile.
"Sleep well?" Bakura asked, Hikari nodded and cuddled closer to the
other teen. Bakura grinned and held Hikari closer, they stayed cuddling till
they knew they should really get out of bed.
"You know, if this wasn't Yugi's bed I could show you exactly how happy
and rested I am," Hikari said, Bakura rolled his eyes as the others words.
"Later, my house," he whispered, Hikari nodded and giggled at the
thought of exactly he would show his koi.
***
Rei had been having a wonderful dream, she was in her miko clothing and
Usagi, the other senshi and herself were having fun at her Families temple.
But the dream ended way to soon, with a sigh the senshi of fire opened
her eyes to the real world. The first thing she noticed was that she was in an
unfamiliar bed, blinking she looked around to see nothing familiar.
'It was just a dream, Usagi is no more... she... he is Hikari now' she
thought with a sad sigh, she was free from the evil yet her cause of
protecting the moon princess wasn't there anymore.
She knew she could protect Hikari, but she had a feeling that wouldn't
work out so well. For one thing she had a feeling that Hikari could easily
defend himself, what was she suppose to do now.
"Bakura, that tickles," a voice suddenly giggled, startled Rei looked
towards the rooms door hearing someone in the hall outside.
'Wonder who that could be' she thought curious, with a yawn she crawled
out of bed and walked (more like walked like a zombie) to the door. With a
slim hand she took the doorknob and opened, the scene she saw caused her to
blush bright red.
"Errr... Hi," she said embarrised, outside in the hall stood Bakura and
hikari who were holding each other and cuddling in a comprimasing position.
"Hi Rei," Hikari grinned cheekily, he cuddled closer to the other pale
haired boy sapphier eyes bright.
"Morning," Bakura grinned at her, with a groan Rei retreated back into
the room and closed the door. With a sigh she leaned against the wall and
lowered herself to the ground, soon she sat on the floor her back and head
against the door.
"That was unexpected, hope she's alright," she heard Bakura say, silence
lasted for a few moments.
"She'll be okay Koi, its just that everything is shocking right now... but
hopefully she'll get use to everything," she heard Hikari say softly and a
triffle sadly, footsteps told her that they had left.
'Usagi, I'm sorry... I failed you' she thought, with that she began to cry
for this was nothing at all like she had planned for in her life... everything
she knew was gone.
***
In Domino park Black lightning hit the ground violently, the whole area
shook as dust and earth exploded into the air. People screamed and ran away
from the sight of the explosion the earth still shaking, dark laughter filled
the air.
"Well, well, it seems that the little humans are afraid and running
already," a female voice sneered, finally everything settled and two figures
were revealed at the sight of the explosion.
The first had long blonde hair with a ebony bow in it, like the other
dark senshi her body suit was black in color with the rest of it a bright
orange color. Her body was one that would make models drool in envy, yet her
face was filled with darkness and her lips a sneer.
"Well, we'll make sure they pay for running away before we had our fun,"
the second figure said, this was also female but with chestnut brown hair
pulled into a high ponytail.
She had hate filled green eyes, like her companions she was filled with
hate. Like the other her bodysuit was black in color but the rest was green,
she looked more of a fighter then the blonde haired dark senshi.
Venus and Jupiter had arrived.
***
"No, it can't be," Luna said, every hair on her body stood ridged at the
dark energy she felt. Next to her Artimus was in the same condition for they
both knew what this meant, The dark senshi were near and Usagi would be in
danger.
"We have to hurry, or it will be too late," Artimus said, Luna nodded
and the two moon cats ran quickly in the direction they felt the darkness and
evil.
***
Everyone was gathered at the table for breakfast, even Rei was there
with a slight blush on her face. Kage and yami were still asleep in their soul
rooms, but everyone else was there.
Hikari gasped as a chill shot through his body causing him to shiver,
this action brought everyone attention to the pale Egyptian.
"Hikari, what's wrong?" Yugi asked, his large purple child like eyes
looked at the paled haired teen filled with concern.
"Darkness, the last two senshi just appeared at the park," Hikari said
softly, everyone gasped while Rei dropped her spoon into her cereal her face
pale. Sadly Hikari stood up, he knew that he had to get there fast before any
innocents got hurt.
"Hikari, be careful... I don't want to loose you again," Bakura said
looking at his Koi, Hikari nodded and tried not to smile at what he had felt.
For that brief moment when Bakura had spoken Kage and fully joined with
his counterpart, one day he planned that both of them would be one again.
"I will Bakura," he promised, it was then that stood up... everyone looked
at the senshi of Mars.
"I'm going with you, they were my friends and I have to do everything I
can to free them from the darkness," Rei told them all her face very pale,
Hikari nodded understanding what she felt.
"You can transform into your senshi form when we get to the park," he
said, before she could say anything he grabbed her hand and teleported.
***
Rei gulped and swayed slightly in disorientation, she had not expected
that to happen when Hikari had grabbed her hand.
"Ughh," she said with a groan, shaking herself she felt herself coming
back to normal. She glared at Hikari, the blonde Egyptian had a smirk on his
face and she knew that he had enjoyed that greatly.
"I'll get you back later," she said to him in a growl, he only nodded
enjoying it all.
"I would transform if I was you," he said calmly, with one last glare at
him she pulled out her transformation pen and activated the transformation
magic inside.
Less then a second later Sailor Mars stood there, she smiled seeing that
her uniform was now normal now and wasn't black like it had as a dark senshi.
"You better change too, into that Egyptian garb from earlier," she said
turning to Hikari, she sweatdropped seeing that he was already in his Egyptian
garb a white cloaked and hood hiding him from view.
"I hate you," she said in envy, why did she have to have a flashy
transformation and he didn't.
"No you don't, that's just the envy speaking," he said with a soft
snicker, together they ran in the direction they could feel the two dark
senshi in.
***
"Hmm... looks like we'll have to head into Domino city itself to find the
princess," Venus said, Jupiter smirked and gathered dark lightning in her
hands.
"That's not too bad, I'm been waiting to use my new dark lightning
attack on something," Jupiter sneered Venus laughed darkly.
"I don't think so," a female voice said, both paused recognizing it even
if it sounded younger.
"Mars, traitor," Venus sneered angrily, they both watched as a red
colored senshi landed in front of them looking exactly like she had when she
had originally been sixteen.
"That's right, and I'm not going to let you hurt anyone while you're
under the dark orbs control," she said in a calm voice, the two dark senshi
laughed at this.
"You... defeat us, does the little fire maiden think she can defeat us all
alone against two senshi powered by darkness," Venus laughed, Jupiter laughed
also.
"Alone no, defeat yes," a new male voice startled, the two turned to
find a white cloaked figure standing there. How he had gotten there without
them feeling it was a mystery, but they weren't about to loose to this unknown
person.
"Prepare to loose," Venus sneered, she nodded to her companion.
"Dark lightning," Jupiter shouted, the lightning she had gathered
earlier erupted from her hands and slammed into the figure sending dirt and
dust into the air.
"Well, that takes care of one of them," Jupiter said, she was about to
turn when something in the dust cloud caught her attention.
"What... how is this possible," she said surprised, standing there
untouched by her dark lightning attack was the cloaked figure... and even though
she couldn't see his face she knew he was smiling.
"Anything is possible," he said, a chill slipped through her and she
wondered if coming here was a good idea after all.
***
Hikari smiled sadly as he deflected the dark lightning attack, it was so
saddening to see his once friends in this dark state.
"Mars, you take Venus and I'll take Jupiter," he yelled to the senshi of
Mars, he saw the raven haired girl nodded.
"Ha, like you could defeat a dark senshi," Jupiter snarled, Hikari
sighed.
"Ah but I already have, I defeated Mercury and freed Mars from the dark
orbs power," he said, Jupiter's face darkened.
"You, you are the one I must defeat before finding the princess," the
dark senshi hissed angrily, Hikari said nothing.
"Thunder dark bomb," Jupiter shouted holding up her arm, dark energy
gathered there and he felt his eyes actually widen at the dark power he felt
gathering there.
"Kuso," he whispered, with a flinging motion she threw it at him intent
to destroy him. Even now his full powers were not quite returned, if he wasn't
careful he could actually be killed doing this.
Jupiter was the strongest dark senshi yet, Hikari had a dark suspicion
that the once earth prince aka Mamoru was even stronger then the dark senshi.
'Definitely not my day' Hikari thought dodging the attack, looking
towards mars he saw that she was having trouble also against Venus.
***
Mars swore under her breath, she wasn't doing so good against Venus...
someone she had once been close to.
"Getting tired priestest, how does it feel to find yourself defeated... if
only you hadn't traded sides and you wouldn't about to be defeated," Venus
sneered, she then did her next attack.
"Venus chain of hate!" she cried throwing out a hand, a chain black of
color appeared and slammed into Mars surrounding her. Unlike the past Venus
chain the shapes of the chain links were the symbol of death, she shivered at
the evil she felt coming from it.
'I'm sorry Hikari, looks like I'm about to fail once again' she thought
as she struggled, she could not escape the dark senshi's attack.
***
'Damn, she attacking me to fast to strike back' Hikari thought as he
dodged another lightning attack, it was then that a dark gleam entered his
eyes as something occurred to him.
'They search for the moon princess and the silver crystal, except they
do not truly understand where the crystal originated' he thought a smirk
forming on his face, thankfully Jupiter could not see it because his face was
hidden.
"Jupiter, you seek the silver Crystal... but can you face its light,"
Hikari said in a calm voice, the dark senshi's eyes widened at what he said.
"You know about the crystal, then you must know where the princess is!"
Jupiter hissed, she rushed towards him fully intent of forcing the answer out
of him.
In ancient times he had heard of the crystal from Bastet, she had told
him that the crystal was a tool of the light realm. It had been given to the
goddess of the moon so that she could guard it from darkness, yet when the
times of gods living among mortals ended he guessed that it had ended up in
the hands of the lunarians somehow.
If he remembered right the lunarians were actually far decendents of the moon goddess, but the knowledge of what the crystal truly was lost and had been used as a tool by the lunarians.
Its original name had been in the language of the gods, the best
translation was 'Light soul of truth'.
'To defeat them both I have to use the crystal, it will be a bit hard
because I am of both realms not just the light realm' Hikari thought, taking a
deep breath he concentrated and pulled out the crystal where it had been
hidden within him since he had become Max all those years ago.
"Shaft of light," he called holding the crystal, at that moment the
crystal glowed with its true power and blue-silver light shot out of the
crystal slamming into the dark senshi.
"How, (cough) only lunarians can use the crystal," Jupiter rasped weakly
from where she had landed, the crystal had done a number on her and it looked
like she wouldn't be getting up any time soon.
"The lunarians were just guardians of the crystal yet long ago they
forgot there job, they were to guard the crystal not use it... because I know
its true past and nature I can use its full powers without harm," he explained
truthfully, mind you he would be dreadfully tired if he used the crystals
power too much.
Since his opponent was down for the moment he decided to check on Mars,
he swore silently when he saw that Venus had he trapped by a dark chain of
some sort... a darker version of her love me chain attck.
'My powers are too low from yesterday still to defeat them by myself and
Mars needs help, I'm going to have to use the crystal... and I don't know what
side effects it will have on me' Hikari thought, but he had to be fast or they
could actually loose this battle.
'Bakura... Kage, I think were going to have to post phone our fun for a
little while yet' he thought, with that he raised the crystal above his head
and concentrated his powers and the crystals powers.
"Sorry Dark senshi, no more fun for you anymore," he said, it was then
that the whole park was filled with silver light blinding everyone that saw
it... even miles away for a few moments.
***
"No, the silver crystal," Luna gasped seeing the silver light fill the
air in the distance, she quickly closed her eyes so that she would not be
blinded... Artimus being the cat he was didn't think of closing his eyes.
"Ahhh, I can't see," the white cat yelled, when she could finally open
here eyes she rolled them at his immatureness.
"That was the silver crystal, that must mean Usagi is near," Luna said
excitedly, she quickly grabbed Artimus tail in her mouth and dragged the still
blind cat to where the light had originated.
'Were coming Usagi, just wait a little longer and I'll be right there
to help' the moon cat thought, but what the future had in store for her she
had no idea.
***
"Ahhh" Pluto said, the thing forcing her to stay in the gates of time
had vanished, she blinked startled and still frazzled.
"Max, I have to find Max," she said, she ignored how smelly she was from
not being able to bath and clean and teleported to where she could finally
feel the silver crystals energy.
***
With a groan Hikari fell to his knees exausted, he smiled once and
passed out. He had used a lot of his energy while using the crystal, as he lay
there his clothing changed back to the school uniform he had been wearing
earlier (he hadn't ben home yet from yesterday so hadn't changed yet).
TBC
Wow, this is the longest chapter yet, sorry for the lame battle scenes but
writers block began to set in... but I still can't believe I got this far. I
love the elevator scene, oh please send me fanart for that at least.
