Ch. 9: "Strike Pt. 1"
~-*-~-*-~-*-~
"Odango Atama, wake-up!"
Usagi opened her eyes and looked up at Rei and said groggily. "What time is it?"
"7:45. I came here 15 minutes ago and it took me that long to wake you up!"
"Oh, sorry." Usagi said as she sat up and stifled another yawn. "How'd you get in?"
"As if you didn't know, you have a roommate who also has a key to open the door?"
"Oh right, I'm so stupid."
"I don't blame you, after what you found out. Mamoru didn't wait for your return?"
Usagi looked away from Rei and answered. "Yeah, you could say that."
"I'm sorry, I hope you feel better after what I have to say."
"What?" Usagi asked.
"Makoto is cooking your favourite dinner!" Rei smiled as she tried to cheer Usagi up.
"Really? She's cooking………!" [Fill in Usagi's favourite food.]
"Yeah. So, you coming or what?" Rei grinned.
"Of course I am." Usagi jumped out of her bed and dressed while Rei walked out of her room.
"You ready?"
"Yeah, but come in for a sec."
"Ok, I'm in." Rei said as she closed the door.
"By any chance is Heero in here?"
Rei rose and eyebrow up and asked, "Yeah, of course he is, why?"
"Damn! He's the one person I don't want to see now. I kind of yelled at him and said something I didn't mean to say to him." Usagi said as she looked to the floor.
"Well, then what did you say?"
"I said he was heartless and that he never loved anyone before, that's why he couldn't understand the feeling I felt when I kind of burst out crying. Then, I looked into his eyes and they looked hurt with pain, and I think I caused him that pain. Oh Rei, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to push you, it's just that I just didn't feel like seeing anyone and you were there with Wufei in my way, I am so sorry!" Usagi apologized as she hugged Rei.
"Even though that did hurt, I forgive you. I know you would never get mad unless it was something important." Rei hugged back.
"Thanks so much Rei! I am so sorry!" Usagi apologized again, then smiled. "C'mon, let's go before Duo eats everything!" She grabbed Rei's hand and ran out of the dorm, but greeted Heero. "Hi Heero, let's go!"
He nodded and followed the excited blonde and the tired Rei.
~-*-~-*-~-*-~
"When will it be done?"
"I give it another 20 minutes Duo, if you're that hungry, there are some cookies in the jar over there." Makoto pointed towards the jar.
"Thanks!" Duo thanked the cook as he grabbed the jar and brought it to the others, who were watching an old TV show.
~Knock Knock~
"I bet you that that's Rei, Usa, and Heero!" Minako said happily as she walked towards the door with a cookie in her mouth and another in her hand, and opened the door.
"Hey guys! Usa, you came!"
"Thanks Minako." Usagi said as she eyed the cookie, took it and ran towards the others.
Minako ran after Usagi. "That was MINE, Usagi! Get your own!"
Heero walked after Minako and sat on a chair and Rei smiled and closed the door. 'I'm glad that she's back to her old self now.'
"USAGI!"
"Minako, there's a whole entire jar waiting right in front of you." Usagi explained as she ducked behind the closest person, Duo.
"Still, that was mine, so hands off!" Minako glared.
"No, get your own." Usagi glared back.
"Hey ladies, no need to fight!" Duo suggested, but was answered with a push by both girls.
"You stay out of this!" Minako and Usagi shouted as they pushed Duo to the ground.
"This is better then the TV show!" Quatre laughed at the two girls, and Ami blushed.
"Hand it over." Minako said as she stuck out her hand.
"Ok, ok…here." Usagi said as she sighed in defeat.
"Thank you! Nice doing business with you!" Minako answered as she took a bite out of the cookie, which only had one bite left of it. Minako then helped Duo up from the ground. "Sorry 'bout that, but sometimes Usa's a real pig."
"Sometimes?" Rei filled in.
"Oh no, here we go again." Ami said.
"I am not a pig Rei!" Usagi argued back.
"Are to!"
"Not!"
"To!"
"Not!"
"To!"
"NOT!"
"TO!"
"DINNER!!!" Makoto yelled over Rei and Usagi, and Usagi rushed to the table.
"Mako! Thanks!"
"For what?" Makoto asked as she laid down the last dish.
"For making my favourite meal!"
"Oh, no problem Usa, anything to cheer you up."
"Yes, I didn't even study today Usa." Ami said with a smile.
"Really?"
"Yeah, we were all to worried about you." Rei filled in.
"Oh, I'm sorry, and I'm really sorry to everyone, on how I treated you guys. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Usagi said as she looked at each and every one of her friends, Heero included.
"Hey, that's alright. I mean you've been with him for how long? Oops, I'm sorry, just reminding you about him more, eh?" Minako asked the person beside her.
"No, that's ok. I had a good nap and I thought about him and the things we did together, but I think I can move on someday soon." Usagi smiled at Minako.
"That's great then!"
"What's even greater is if we dig in!" Usagi said with a wide smile.
"I totally agree with Usagi!" Duo smiled as he and her had the same look on, then went right to the food.
~-*-~-*-~-*-~
"Mako sure knows how to cook!" Usagi said with a smile as she patted her very full stomach.
"Hn."
"Can I make you say anything else?" Usagi asked Heero.
"Hn."
"That would be a no, right?"
Heero nodded his head.
"Heero, I'm sorry about the way I acted. I think I hurt you the most out of all the others. I'm so sorry!"
"It's ok, I would never understand the feeling of pain." Heero answered as he turned away from Usagi's gaze.
"But I saw it in your eyes! I saw something different, and that would have been the pain and hurt! I'm sorry Heero, can you just forget the things I said to you today?"
"I would if I could."
"What do you mean?" Usagi asked.
Heero spun around and grabbed Usagi by the shoulders. "You're different form any other person I've met, you make me feel different! You make me feel all these emotions that are coming back to me, which I have locked out of my life since I could remember! I am the perfect soldier!" Heero finished, and let go of the startled Usagi. "Sorry. Forget everything I just said."
Usagi kept her gaze on Heero. She couldn't believe what she just heard. "Is it...is it true?"
"What?" Heero asked as he turned around with his famous death glare.
"You care for me…"
"I never said I cared for you, I said that you're different."
Usagi finally looked away from Heero. "Why didn't I see it before? I kept on thinking that I loved Mamoru, but I knew I felt something from you that I haven't felt before. I think I helped make the rose wilt…I'm sorry Heero, I was just pretending. I knew there was something special about you since the day I met you!" Usagi exclaimed and grabbed hold of Heero's upper arms.
"You're just saying that." He said as he glared at her even harder. [that possible?]
"No, I mean it Heero! Please listen to me!" Usagi pleaded as she started to tear up.
" I don't believe you and I never will. Now let go." Heero said firmly and Usagi let go, and he walked back to his room and closed the door.
"Heero, I meant it." Usagi whispered into the air as she walked back to her room.
~-*-~-*-~-*-~
A week passed by, and still Heero and Usagi had nothing-official going on. She was more attracted to him then ever since she found out that she had 'pretended' to love Mamoru the whole time.
A week then turned into a month, and Usagi was worried. She had changed the fate of her future, and now she couldn't turn back. 'Was this what Chibi Usa was talking about? Did she know that this was going to happen?' Usagi thought as she bumped into a very familiar boy.
"Oww...watch were your going! Heero?" She complained, but as she looked up, she blushed as she met a very familiar pair of Prussian blue eyes. "Heero! I'm sorry."
"Watch where you're going next time." He said harshly as he continued his walk. He didn't take the time to look back at Usagi who had a look of hurt clearly read in her eyes. 'Why am I doing this to her? Because you're stubborn Heero Yuy, and you will not give into the prey. But I want the prey, stupid conscious.'
'Usagi, you're such a clutz! I thought you changed from the 20th century, guess I haven't.' Usagi thought as she watched Heero walk away until he was out of site.
~-*-~-*-~-*-~
Pharaoh appeared in front of the pacifist princess.
"Pharaoh!" Relena bowed down.
"You will strike today!"
"Today?" Relena asked. "Why?"
"Yes, and you will reveal the sailor scouts."
"Ok, then where's your half of the deal?" Relena smirked.
"Would you just hold on? I'm gathering energy for you." The shadow said as he concentrated on a dark energy shaped in a star. "Take this, this should be enough to get rid of the sailor scouts."
"Thank you Pharaoh. I will do as you please, master." Relena replied as she held her hand out for the energy to reach her, and when it did, she felt the power surge through her body and her eyes flickered from blue to a dark violet, when it finally stayed dark violet.
"Thank you for releasing me, that pacifist princess was to weak to fight in her present form." Relena smiled wickedly.
"You know your mission, now go."
"Don't need to tell me, I already know." Relena bowed then disappeared in a wisp of mist.
~-*-~-*-~-*-~
"Uh!! I'm going to be late!" Usagi shouted down the halls as she rushed towards her pacifism classroom since Relena wanted to see her.
"Usagi?" Ami asked as she noticed the blonde girl.
"Ami? You got in trouble to?"
"No Odango Atama, I don't know what's going on but Relena called all of us here."
"Yeah, us to." Duo added in.
"That's weird, then where's Relena." Minako asked.
"I'm right here." Relena said as she walked into the classroom and locked the door.
"Uh, why are you locking the door?" Makoto asked.
"Because what I need to tell you now is very important, and no one must know."
"Sounds good to me." Usagi answered with a smile.
'I don't trust that girl.' Rei thought as she looked at Relena. She was different, again. She felt the same hatred and darkness radiating from her since that day in the classroom.
Relena turned to look at Rei and her eyes flashed dark violet, then back to her blue. "Why don't you trust me Rei?"
Rei gasped. She couldn't read minds, could she?
"Rei…" Wufei questioned as he looked to the raven haired-girl beside him.
"Stay away from her." Rei warned.
"What's up Rei, it's not like you." Usagi asked curiously.
"That's not Relena…" Rei said, and everyone was confused.
"What do you mean that's not Relena. She's right in front of us in flesh and blood!" Duo exclaimed.
"That's not her, you've got to trust me." Rei said as she looked at Duo.
"Duo, don't say anything." Quatre told his friend and he shut-up.
Relena laughed. "Right as always, Mars."
Rei and the girls gasped. The boys were really confused. How would she know?
"I'm not Relena, I'm just using her body since I am only a spirit since Sailor Moon defeated me last time." 'Relena' glared at Usagi, and then turned her attention back to the others.
"What? I'm lost, the sailor scouts aren't here." Duo said.
Wufei nodded. "That's right, the baka's right, they're not here in this room."
"Who are you?" Trowa asked quietly.
"Thank-you for asking. I am the revived again, Mistress 9!" The Mistress said as her hair grew longer [same colour as Relena's though] and touched the floor and her clothes changed into a dark red dress. "We cannot fight here, let me change this so it looks a bit darker!" The Mistress said as she changed the scenery, and the classroom turned into another dimension, which was a dark, gloomy one. [Like DBZ, when Goku fights that monster in the Majin Buu series.]
"Ah, it's all dark!" Usagi exclaimed as she jumped up when Ami put a hand on her shoulder.
"You are all soldiers, I know of that." The Mistress smiled. "Welcome, to where I have been locked up this whole time, waiting to get my hands on the Purity Chalice that Sailor Moon has possession of!"
"You'll never get it from her, Sailor Moon's a strong person and warrior!' Makoto said.
"Really? I guess I have to push you for her to give it to me then, huh? Feel my power!" Mistress 9 said as she shot an energy blast made of completely negative energy, which hit them all.
"Ahh!" They screamed. The guys had no clue what was happening, except protect the girls they cared about.
"Minako, you alright?" Duo asked as he got off Minako.
"Duo? You shouldn't of!" Minako said as she hugged Duo close to her. "Mistress 9, you'll pay for hurting the one's I care about!"
The other girls did the same with the one they loved, but Heero got off Usagi and looked away from her and stared at his friends. 'Who is this Mistress 9? How come the doctors didn't mail us about this mission?'
Heero thought as he looked at Mistress 9.
"Will you reveal yourself now, or was that not enough?" Mistress 9 mocked.
The girls looked at each other and the one they loved, but in that small amount of time, the girls got hit with an even stronger energy blast.
"AHH! That's enough!" Usagi shouted to Mistress 9, which got the attention of everyone. "You want Sailor Moon and her scouts, you got them!"
"What?" Quatre asked.
"Stay down." Ami told him as she stood up along with the other girls. Usagi and the girls took out their transformation brooch/sticks, and the guys couldn't believe what they just heard.
"Moon Cosmic Power!"
"Mercury Star Power!"
"Mars Star Power!"
"Jupiter Star Power!"
"Venus Star Power!"
Two seconds later, the sailor scouts stood proudly before Mistress 9 and the ex-Gundam Pilots.
"What the hell is going on here?" Duo asked the question that was on the other pilots' minds.
