A/N: I am so sorry for not getting anything out sooner. I am very happy
that I have been getting so many reviews. And to think, this is only the
third chapter! I hope that you all keep on reviewing. I have been very
busy lately with school so I haven't had much time to write. Well enough
of my babbling. Don't forget to R&R. Thanks again to all the people who
reviewed. I will do my best to get the next chapter out soon. Just to
warn you, this chapter may be a boring, but some of this stuff you may need
to know for future chapters.
Disclaimer: If you want to see it, go to the last chapter.
Chapter 3: A Past Discovered
The scout of Mercury awoke to the sound of something dropping in front of her.
"Huh…?" she said as her vision was a bit blurred.
All she saw was red, until her vision cleared and she saw that there were two apples in front of her. She sat up and saw Piccolo sitting across the now extinguished fire.
"Thank you," she said politely as she started eating an apple.
All she got for a reply was a grunt from the namek.
'Not much of a conservationist is he,' Amy thought as she quietly ate her breakfast.
She finished eating in silence. When she was done, she noticed that her side didn't hurt half as much as it did yesterday when she first woke up. She decided to take a chance and see if she could stand up on her own. Well, she started out good, until pain shot through her body and she quickly sat back down.
"Your wound still hasn't healed completely. It would be wise to try and not move around too much until tomorrow. Otherwise you may open it up again," Piccolo advised.
"I guess you are right. Looks like we are stuck here for awhile yet huh?" Amy said, trying to break through the constant silence that seemed to fill the cave.
"No. You are stuck here. It stopped raining and I am going to train. I will be back by sunset at the latest," Piccolo informed her as he got up to leave.
"WHAT?!? You are just going to leave me here all day and go out and train? What if that youma comes back to try and kill me again? It is still out there you know!" Amy yelled.
She was surprised that he was thinking of leaving her alone all day, completely defenseless while the youma was still around and most likely looking for her.
"Why was that youma after you anyways?" Piccolo questioned.
He had thought about it all last night and had narrowed it down to two possibilities. One was that she had something it wanted or the other being that she was the first person it saw and just attacked her. Other ideas were going through his head to, but he figured that it was one of those two.
"I don't know. I was just going for a walk and out of no where it attacked me," she lied.
'I hope he buys it,' she thought nervously.
If there was one thing that Amy was never good at, it was lying. She hated to lie to Piccolo, but she couldn't just say, "Well my friends and I were fighting it as sailor scouts and it killed everyone but me and chased me because it wanted to finish the job." He would probably think she was nuts. And she wouldn't be able to transform to prove it right now because she was still to low on energy to do it.
"If it was just after you, why were you crying yesterday about your friends being killed by it?" Piccolo questioned.
He almost had bought her lie, but he remembered how she had started crying and talking about her friends.
'Why can't I stop thinking about that. I don't even know her and I feel bad about her crying. What has gotten into me?' He questioned himself.
'Damn it. I knew this wouldn't work,' Amy thought angrily to herself.
She quickly thought of something else to fill in what she had missed.
"They were walking with me. It attacked us all and we tried to kill it, but it got all of them first. I just got lucky that I had a chance to get away from it I guess," she lied.
'Now I hope he believes me,' she thought to herself.
He didn't believe her. When he asked about her friends, he noticed a quick look of panic in her eyes. This was a sign that she was a bad liar. She couldn't keep her emotions from showing in her eyes.
'But why am I so drawn to look at them,' he questioned himself, ' I really need to go meditate.'
"Fine I believe you," Piccolo said, "but I am still going out to train. Go back to sleep or something so you heal faster. I want you out of here as soon as possible."
Amy was a little taken back by this. She knew that she was probably a burden to him, but did he have to act so cold to her? She hadn't been that rude, had she? No, she convinced herself, it is just him. I have done nothing to offend him. I wonder why he is like this?
"A..a..alright I will," she stuttered nervously.
Piccolo grunted and walked out of the cave to go train somewhere where he wouldn't be bothered by her.
****************************AT THE MOUNTAINS WHERE PICCOLO TRAINS AT***************
"So that is all the new information we have huh?" Nail asked
"For now. I still think she is lying though. Something just doesn't seem right. She didn't say a thing about her friends when she told me what happened yesterday, but today she said that they were with her. It doesn't fit!" Piccolo said frustrated.
He had just re-told everything that Amy had said to him before he left to Kami and Nail. Now that all of his earlier thoughts about the blue haired girl had been pushed to the back of his mind, and new questions filled the space that it left. What was that thing that attacked her? What was it doing here? Would it come back to try to kill her again? And most importantly, is this a new enemy? He was starting to get a headache from all this thinking.
"Hmm. Piccolo, did you ask how her and her friends fought it?" Kami asked.
"No I didn't. She was already lying to me and I think she would have made something else up had I asked her. She knows more than she is letting on."
"We have to find away to get her to tell us the truth. You won't be able to protect her if we don't know what is going on," Kami said.
"Who said anything that I was going to be protecting her!" Piccolo demanded, "She has been nothing more than a burden to me!"
"Piccolo I did some thinking on where I last sensed that power we felt in her. I remember where I last sensed it," Kami said.
"Well then spit it out old man!" Piccolo said, his temper flaring up.
"Calm down Piccolo. I will explain. You see, about a thousand years ago, there was a legendary era known as the Silver Millennium. It was ruled by a person named Queen Serenity of the Moon Kingdom. There were nine planets in this alliance. They were Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto, Saturn, and of course, the Moon.
Earth was supposed to join the alliance, but a person that called herself Queen Beryl of the Negaverse attacked the Silver Alliance by controlling the people of the Earth and destroyed all of the nine planet's inhabitants, one planet at a time. Eventually, it reached the Moon. Each planet had it's own royalty, but the Queen of the Moon Kingdom surpassed them all by being ruler of the Silver Alliance. This is why the Moon was last. Because it was the most powerful, Queen Beryl did not want to risk them being able to call one of the other planets for help. Each queen of the other planets had a daughter. Each princess had the power of their own planet and could transform using that power into a strong warrior of that planet. The queens had thought it would be best that they all stay on the Moon, to protect the heir to the silver alliance. Unlike the other princesses, the Moon Princess, Princess Serenity, had not received her powers to transform into a warrior of the Moon yet, so she was at a great disadvantage and needed protection. So as the other planets fell, the Princesses were all safe, and hope still lived on, as long as the Moon Kingdom could be saved. But alas, it was not to be. On the night of Princess Serenity's bethroval to the Prince of the Earth, the Moon Kingdom was attacked by Beryl. The eight princesses that protected Princess Serenity were known as Sailor Soldiers. They all fought bravely, but it was to no avail. They were all killed, and the Princess of the Moon and the Prince of the Earth were also killed. The only one that was left was Queen Serenity. She used the Silver Imperium (Is that spelled right?) Crystal, to send everyone that died a thousand years into the future. Unfortunately, she couldn't destroy the Negaverse, for if she did, it would make it impossible to send everyone to the future to be reborn. So she sealed it away and told her two advisors, that if the Negaverse should ever be freed, to re-awaken the Sailor Soldiers, and train them once again to defeat the Negaverse. With that, she sent them into the future with the Silver Crystal as well. It was split up into seven rainbow crystals so it would be hard for the Negaverse to find, shall it be released. But if all seven-rainbow crystals were put together, they would combine into the Silver Crystal, and return to the Princess of the Moon. By using the Silver Crystal, Queen Serenity sealed her own fate. Whenever someone uses the full power of the Silver Crystal, it feeds off of their own life energy. Unless another power source is found, it uses all of it and kills the user. It was only used in dire needs. After the destruction of the Moon Kingdom, the galaxy split into different dimensions. That is why I am the only one here that knows about this. Because this is one of the dimensions that was created after the split," Kami said.
"So what does this have to do with Amy?" Nail asked.
"If you would let me finish, I would tell you. The power I sensed in Amy was Planetary Power. I believe that she is one of the reborn Sailor Soldiers. And from the type of power her crystal give of-."
"YOU MEAN THAT SHE IS THE PRINCESS OF THE MOON!" Nail interrupted.
"NO SHE IS NOT! IF YOU WOULD LET ME FIN-."
"But you said that she has a crystal and you said that only the Princess of the Moon could have the Silver Crystal," Nail said, getting confused.
"Grrr. I was going to finish explaining that. NOW SHUT UP AND LET ME FINISH!" yelled Kami.
"Alright alright. No need to get all bent out of shape over it," Nail replied.
"Now, just because I can sense a crystal in her doesn't mean that she is the Moon Princess. You see, four other princesses also had crystals, but theirs were not as powerful as Princess Serenity's. The four other Princesses were Serenity's inner court. They were Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. Serenity was closer to those four than the other princesses, hence the reason why they got crystals and they didn't. The crystals were to make them more powerful and to be used only in dire need. The princesses tried to use the crystals against the Negaverse, but they didn't get a chance to fully power up. If they would have had enough time, the Negaverse most likely would have been stopped, and the princesses would have been reborn immediately. But since they didn't, the crystals were sent with the princesses to be reborn with them. They had already melded with the crystals before hand, so if anything were to happen to them, they would always have the crystals. The crystals were named after their planets that they represented like for Venus, the crystal would be called the Venus Crystal. I sensed a crystal within Amy, but I am not sure what one it is. But one thing is for sure, she is definitely a Princess, and she knows it, otherwise, the crystal wouldn't give off a faint aura," Kami finished.
Piccolo's eyes shot open as Kami finished his tale. There was no way that could be true. That girl, that HUMAN girl could not be a princess or a Sailor Soldier. If she was, then why didn't she fight off the youma herself?
"Because Piccolo," Kami answered, " She has yet to access her full power, making her much weaker than she should be. Once she has learned to use some of the powers of her crystal, she will be almost equal to you. And if she were to use her crystal with her full strength after that, she would even surpass Goku at his full strength."
"WHAT!?! How could she be that strong? It is not possible!" Piccolo yelled.
"But it is Piccolo. Like I said, she obviously hasn't tapped into her crystal yet. Otherwise I would be able to clearly sense what princess she was from the first time I saw her," Kami replied calmly.
"Hey Kami, how do you know all of this?" Nail asked.
"It is simple, I had just become the protector of the Earth, and part of my job was to protect the royalty of Earth. I accompanied the Prince of the Earth to the other planets when treaties were to be signed. So I had met all of the Princesses and the Royalty of each planet in the Silver Alliance. When Queen Beryl had invaded Earth and took control of all the people, I hid the royal family of earth at the lookout. The Prince was gone and it was painfully obvious that he had gone to the Moon Kingdom to protect the Princess. As soon as the Negaverse had been sealed away, the Earth was split into two separate earths, which is why I never knew if the Sailor Soldiers were reawakened or not. Somehow, Amy got here. I think it has to do with that monster that attacked her, but I am not sure. We will need to tell her that we know about her past, and hope that she trusts us enough to tell us who she really is," Kami said.
"You better get back Piccolo, the sun is setting and you told Amy that you would be back by sunset," Nail reminded Piccolo.
"Alright I am going back. I better get something for her to eat or I'm sure she will complain about how hungry she is," Piccolo grumbled.
As he flew to an apple tree that was near the cave, he sensed that dark ki he had felt when he found Amy. Although this time, there was no chase. It was right next to Ami's ki in the cave. And that's when he heard a scream, coming from the cave.
Okay please don't hurt me. I will try to get the next chapter out soon. Maybe sooner if I get lots of reviews.
