THE EARTH ROYALTY, Chapter Five
The doorbell rang in Darien's apartment. He looked over at his cousin you was oblivious to all but her location reality. All of the royalty of his kingdom has a special, unique power and hers was the power of location.
~Guess I should left them in~ He walked to the door and saw Amy's reluctant, questioning face and the faces of Amara and Michelle who were in high spirits.
"So Darien, isn't it customary to invite ladies in?" Michelle smiled.
"Yeah, especially since there's three of us." Amara grinned at him.
"Well seeing as though I called you here, I suppose I should," he returned their smiles and then turned to Amy. "Hey Amy, how've you been?"
"Er, fine thanks," she mumbled.
He wandered into Amara's thoughts, -/Has Serena asked you not to see or speak to me?/-
-/What gave you that idea?/-
-/Amy./-
-/Well, you're right./-
"Darien you'll have to promise us that Serena will not know of our visit." Amara started, "She wants to try and keep you at a distance so you'll go back to America and leave her and Seiya in peace."
"Amara!" Amy gasped.
"What?!?!"
"Doesn't matter, come in." He moved so they could get through the door. "D'you mind being quiet. Toni's locating some allies."
"Toni?" Amy looked puzzled.
"Allies?" Michelle was also puzzled.
"How?" Amara asked.
"The other royalty. Her special power." He then turned to Amy, "Sorry to answer them first Amy, but you'll question takes longer to explain."
"And your answers to them bring more questions to my mind." She answered.
He was about to answer when a female voice excitedly stated, "Bingo! Darien, they're all found but none, 'cept for Julie are awaken."
"Thanks Toni." He, Amara, Michelle and Amy moved into the living part of the room. "Amy this is my cousin Toni."
"Really, I actually thought that your parents were only children." Amy questioned.
"Yeah, but my parents of a thousand years ago weren't only children." Darien said pointedly.
Toni reached out with her hand to Amy, "Hiya, I'm Toni. Princess Antonia of north America, slave to the heir to the thrones." She laughed. Amy shook the hand that was offered to her.
"Princess Amy of Mercury." She introduced.
"So, you said you knew how the Sailor StarLights are." Amara started.
"Yeah, but just give us as sec." Darien said.
"Sure, but if you're about to say who and where the other princesses and princes are, can you expand a little for us, to see if we can jump-start our memories?" Michelle asked.
Toni grinned, "Princess Juliana is in Asia, as you know. Prince Alexander is in Australia. Princess Leonora is in Europe. Prince William is in Africa and Princess Elizabeth is in South America." She informed them.
"And what would their nicknames be? Seeing as you're Toni, Antonia and Nia." Michelle asked.
"Juliana is Julie publicly and Jules is royally."
"Alexander is Alex and then known as Lex in royal mode."
"Leonora is Nora to us as we are now and as Leo in a fighting stance."
"William is Bill normally and then as Wills."
"And Elizabeth is Beth and then Eliza." Darien started the speaking taking it in turns with his cousin.
"And you all have the same kind of powers?" Amara enquired.
"Yes and no. We all have our special coloured rose, which, when thrown together, can form a shield that can protect those inside or if it's an enemy, it can attack him or her and drain their energy." Darien said.
Toni continued, "we then can all teleport ourselves to different places, and read minds and talk mentally with others-"
"We can deflect attacks that come towards us. But how successfully that is done depends on how strong we are and how strong it is-"
"We can all throw our own brightly, coloured balls of light-"
"We can also find out practically all the information you want about the people of Earth-"
"If I wanted to, I could find out the name of the first guy you kissed or what you did at any precise time-"
"And we all have one special power. Mine is the ability to control the Earth. By that I mean I can create earthquakes, tidal waves, any other natural disaster you can think of. I can also control them, kind of."
"Mine isn't as extreme as that," Toni grinned.
"But you're not the heir to the thrones of Earth" Darien returned the slight dig.
"As I was saying," Toni's voice was slightly raised, "My power is that of location. I can locate anyone on Earth."
"Julie in Asia has the unique power of invisibility-"
"Alex has the special power of mind control-"
"Nora can create the largest, most powerful shield that you can see-"
"Bill will always be helpful coz he can give life to anything-"
"And Beth has the power of death." Again with the tag teaming.
"She can kill anyone?" Amy questioned.
"Kind of. She has the same powers as Holly has, but they don't have a price like she does. Any human she wishes can die in a click of her fingers, but youmas and people with magic are harder to do that to." Darien explained.
"And another question, Amara, Michelle, how'd did you know Toni?"
"Well we saw them in the arcade and then they wanted answers but Darien couldn't bear to be in the same room with Serena-" Michelle was interrupted.
"So we came back here, carrying the prince cos he decided to pack his body in." Amara finished.
"Oh right. I see."
"Amy, you are a bad liar!" Darien laughed with his cousin.
"Your thoughts so betray you!" Toni said. "But don't worry, we don't always read thoughts,-"
"No, seriously, we only do it if there is an absolute need."
"Then why did you read mine then?" Amy enquired.
"Cos we wanted to know if Serena had seen me that day and we wondered if she had, maybe she would have told you." Darien shrugged it off.
"Ok, so we've established the fact that we known about the other Earth royalty and that they have special powers and that Serena didn't want us to see you-" Toni cut her off.
"What?!? When'd we establish that?"
"At the door, but it was kind of quick, can you explain in more detail Amara?" Darien asked.
"Sure, but you then have to tell us who the StarLights are!" Amara said exasperated. They nodded. "Well we had a scout meeting after you helped us in the park."
"Serena told Amara to stop giving heat to the 'Lights, and also she told us that she wasn't glad that you were back."
"She didn't give anyone a chance to tell her how you collapsed outside the arcade and didn't receive one of your letters. The discussion was closed as soon as she said it." Michelle stated.
Amy's face was one of that who was confused, not normal for her. ~Darien collapsed? Didn't receive her letters? What else haven't I been told?~ It looked to her like Darien and Toni were in some kind of mind discussion. She turned to look at her fellow scouts. Michelle smiled at her.
"Amy," the others turned to look at her, "us being friendly with Darien and Toni doesn't mean we're betraying Serena, it's quite the opposite." Amy tried to argue that that wasn't what she was thinking.
"Yeah, these guys have fought Anno in America, it was them that he was referring to. So by working with them, we'll destroy him and peace'll be restored."
"That wasn't what I was thinking." Amy smiled. She turned to face the only male in the room, "Darien can you truthfully tell me that you didn't receive any letters from Serena?"
"Yes," he said solemnly.
"We believe that someone wanted the two to break up, mistrust one another. Darien also wrote letters, he was famous for it in the dorm. Every week on a Friday he would post the letter that he had been writing all week. Then when out whole room went out for a end of the week drink n' dinner, to discuss work, papers, teachers, you know student things" Toni expanded on what wasn't said.
"Oh." And that was all that Amy could muster.
"So with all that explained, can you tell us who our supposed 'allies' are?" Amara was impatient.
"Well you haven't really told us about Serena." Darien started.
"Yeah, and I don't think Darien's apartment could face your annoyance at finding out who they were." Toni grinned at her cousin.
Michelle, Amy, Darien and Toni laughed at Amara's stony face. "Alright, the StarLights are people that you know." Darien said.
"But you don't like that's for sure Amara. And there is no doubt on us being correct." Toni stated.
"So." Michelle prompted.
"The three leather clad sailors are three brothers-" Darien started with the tag teaming of saying things.
"Who transform into girls-"
"They form a band-"
"Which is quite successful-"
"Many girls fawn all over them-"
"They live in Tokyo now-"
"One is smart-"
"One is arrogant-"
"And the other has a girlfriend-"
"Who Darien likes-"
"No, I love her-"
"And he wants to kill him because of that-"
"And you Amara, I can tell that you wish to do the same-"
"The civilian identities of them are-"
"Taiki Kou: smart-"
"Yaten Kou: arrogant-"
"Seiya Kou: the boyfriend of Serena."
With this finished they listened to the thoughts of the three scouts in the room.
~Seiya! Uh-Oh, Amara's not gonna like this. She's gonna excuse him even more of corrupting Serena.~
~Seiya? That creep? No wonder I didn't like them. They are corrupting Serena! I so wish she hadn't broken up with Darien, anyone, even me, could see that he loved her and that there was a specific reason for not hearing from him.~
~Brain Overload! Darien has a cousin, there's more of them scattered in the world. Each control a continent. They're probably stronger than all of us. I'm directly disobeying Serena, the Moon Princess, by being in Darien's apartment. Someone has stopped their mail from reaching each other and your both probably reading my thoughts now!~
The doorbell rang in Darien's apartment. He looked over at his cousin you was oblivious to all but her location reality. All of the royalty of his kingdom has a special, unique power and hers was the power of location.
