THE EARTH ROYALTY, Chapter Six
~Brain Overload! Darien has a cousin and 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!~

"Amy, what on earth gave you that idea?" Darien grinned at her.
"Maybe because of what you just said," Amy smiled back.
"Yes, but we have just said that and not before," he replied.
"Ok! Enough of this!" Amara nearly shouted, "We have to warn Serena that her 'boyfriend' is two-timing her."
"And what are you going to say," Toni interjected, "You, Michelle and Amy have disobeyed her and come here! Amara look, she's gonna think this is some desperate attempt of Darien's to get her back. That he's found out she has a new life without him and that he wants her back, so he's consorting with you because you don't like Seiya. Both of you can't stand him so you're trying to turn him into the bad guy!"
"I agree with Toni, Serena's gonna think you're doing this to break her up with Seiya." Michelle stated and Amy nodded in agreement.
The tension in the room mounted. Annoyance, disobeyment, unfairness, sadness, emptiness. All felt the emotions flying around.
"Ok, let's take a Chill Pill." Darien said. Laughter filled the room, Darien saying take a chill pill? It was almost unthinkable, till now anyway.
"He's got a point. Do you have any ideas on how to defeat Anno? I mean, Michelle said you met him in America." Amy asked.
"Yes and no. We know how to defeat him, but we don't have the power right now and there is no telling whether we will have the power." Toni replied.
"You see, the Golden Crystal that Helios had is actually the crystal of Earth and my royal cousins have similar crystal's that can combine with the power of the crystal." Darien tried to un-confuse their guests.
"Look, here's my glass crystal. It's dark blue because that's my colour." Toni explained and brought her hand to her heart, removing the glass shard.
"It's beautiful." Michelle gasped.
"Thanks. Dark blue is my royal colour, that of North America."
"All of the princes, princesses have a special colour. Mine being golden, Toni's Dark Blue, Nora's Dark Green, Alex's Blood Red, Bill's is Light Blue, Beth's is Purple, and Julie's is a kind of murky white colour, its like a cloud, erm, I'm not being too helpful here, but it's truly beautiful." Darien laughed at the end.
"You're right Darien, you're not being that helpful!" Michelle laughed.
"Sorry," Darien grinned at them all. "Ok, but here's the deal, the crystal shards and join with the golden crystal and add to its power-"
"Like the silver crystal?" Amy enquired.
"Exactly, but to defeat Anno, we need to have re-trained with the crystal's power and we need all seven of us to be able to do this." Darien stressed the 'and' to get his point across."
"Oh," Amara muttered, "so when does that happen?"
"We've no idea," Toni stated, "We cannot force the others out of hiding and Julie has her own problems in China."
"Toni's right, I spoke to her and she said that the Sailor Scouts had been doing a great job of protecting one of her countries so they should continue while she fixes the problems of China. She doesn't like the violence of fighting and will only get involved when I force her to or when subconsciously call her." Darien tried to explain about his cousin.
"So we have to fight this until the others wake up which might be never?" Amara said testily.
"Pretty much yeah." Darien said it so firmly, she didn't bother trying to argue with him.
"So is there anything we can do?" Amy asked.
"Not really, Anno doesn't know of Darien's double identity as Endymion and Tuxedo Mask. If we can stop him from realising that we are here, then we have a better chance of defeating him." Toni explained.
"So Toni's gonna become what Tuxedo Girl?" Michelle questioned.
The laughter that erupted was deafening. Even as Michelle said it, she could hear how ridiculous it sounded.
"Oh my," Toni said while wiping tears from her eye. "No, I'm gonna stay in the background and not get seen if possible."
"If Anno realises there's two of us, he might get suspicious and move on to another continent." Darien finished.
"Ok, but what about his intent towards Serena? It seemed like he took a liking to her." Amy said.
"Well if he attempts anything I'll kill him whether I have to sacrifice myself or not I will destroy him." Darien's voice turned cold as he, and the others thought about his words and what they implied.
"The idea is that we go about as if we haven't met Toni or seen Darien, except as Tuxedo Mask and if we meet him on the street we act as normal as we can." Michelle said after a long pause.
"And we fight Anno with the help of the StarLights and Tuxedo Mask." Amy said glaring at Amara.
"If they do anything that puts any of us in danger, then we take them down." Amara confirmed.
"Right, but do you tell Serena who they really are?" Darien asked.
"I don't know, she'd want us to say where we found this out, and we can't really tell her the truth can we?" Amy analysed.
"I say no. Not until we need to." Michelle gave her opinion. There was a consent of agreement.
"Darien I think you should attempt to make peace with Serena. It would make our job as protectors easier." Amy stated.
"Yeah, try and get her to understand that you were hurt by her lack of letters and that there must have been some conspiracy." Michelle backed her up.
"It's worth a shot," Amara helped out.
"Come one Darien you have to do this some time." Toni also acknowledged her support in this matter.
"Ok, ok, I'll do it!" Darien laughed as he pretended to fend them off.
