~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night ~~
The girls and Chibi-Usa finally head over to go see Usagi and do their usual apology trip and give her a load full of sweets to get back to her good side.
"This gets tiring after awhile!" Replied Rei. "Why are we doing this again? It not like she is really running away from home anyways. She's probably in her room right now sulking. You know once she gets bored she'll come crying back."
Chibi-Usa giggled, "Besides she has no backbone to do that sort of stuff. She's such a wuss. She can't do anything on her own or be able to think for herself anyways."
Ami shakes her head, 'How can they say such thing to our Princess? After all that she has done for us? After all that time she gave her all, even her life for us. How can they just talk about her like she's nothing? Is this Really how a Guardian is supposed to act to their Princess? I feel ashamed. No wonder she left. And for her Own daughter to talk so low of her Mother? The future Queen. If I was her Mother. She will have a Very hard time sitting after I'm done Teaching her some Respect for her elders.' Suddenly there is a chuckle in the back of her mind.
[Princess?]
[Yes Mercury?]
[Just checking. It quite strange to be talking like this.]
[Oh. I am sorry Mercury. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.]
[It's okay Princess. Umm. Princess? Are you hearing this conversation?]
There is a wave of anger and betrayal swirling in Ami's mind.
[Princess? Are you okay?]
[I'm fine Mercury. But. I do find it amusing to find you whooping a child to obedience.]
Ami smiled as the she hears a soft chuckle to the back of her mind. [It's nice to hear you laugh again Princess.] And Ami looked up at the moon that seems to be glowing more brightly then before, and . . . it she felt a certain warmth coming through it. 'Are you back on the moon Princess?' Ami thought to herself but it was heard for as soon as she said that a reassuring presence seems to say yes. 'Welcome home.' Ami said to her Princess. [It's good to be home.] The thought returned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let the Truth be known! ~~~
The girls finally reached the door to the Tsukino residence and Chibi-Usa opened the door for them. "Ikuko mama! I'm home! Where's Usagi?!" No answer came. It was a silent house. No sounds from the T.V. or the sound of the lady of the house cooking in the kitchen. "Ikuko mama?"
"That's weird. No one is home? But the door is left open?" Answered Makoto.
"I don't sense no evil presence." Replied Rei.
"Let's check around." Returned Minako.
So the girls, including Ami checked the house. The first place they went was to the living room where they found a very upset and sobbing Ikuko Tsukino.
"Ikuko mama! Why are you crying? Did something bad happened? Are you okay?" Answered a worried Chibi-Usa.
Minako looked around. "Where is Usagi-chan? We came to see her to see if she's okay since it was told she won't be coming anymore."
At this Ikuko sobbed even harder. "Usa-Usagi is gone! She left! And isn't coming back" She buried her face to her hands as she wept sorrowful tears.
"Ikuko mama. You shouldn't worry yourself. Once dinner starts she'll come back. Really. She just doesn't have that kind of sense to do such a thing." Chibi-Usa replied hoping it would ease the weeping woman, which only caused her to weep even more.
"You don't understand. She means it this time. She Really Isn't Coming Back! I can tell. I feel it in my heart. My daughter is no longer here." The woman talked as she keeps on weeping her heart out.
The girls all looked at each other with the notion in their mind, 'This can't really Be Happening?"
Ami on the other hand, went to sit next to the weeping mother. "Please Mrs. Tsukino. I'm sure Usagi-chan is alright. She will be sadden greatly if she knew you were crying like this. I believe she left for a reason. She didn't leave because of you. I think . . . she did this for herself. She'll be back one day. I promise. And when she does. You'll be really proud of what she accomplished." She secretly glared at the girls who still looked dumbfounded. And heard her Princess voice again.
[Thank you for comforting her Mercury. Please look after her. I still love my earth mother very much.]
[It will be done my Princess.]
Ikuko looked up to hear her husband coming in hissing some not-so-nice words. "Honey? What's wrong?" She asked as he came in.
"Well I went to the Police Station . . . and . . . it seems that our daughter isn't the only one gone missing. Since last night 3 more girls disappeared, all with a note found in their rooms. They thought it strange, because all 3 of them happened around the same time. And none of them Knew each other. They think the letters were forced, to the to girls, by some mad man. And . . . they thing it's a mass kidnapping of some sort. . . . Or Rituals going on." Mr. Tsukino sat on his Lazy Boy his hands covering his face. "They think our baby is the 4th victim." And with that he started to cry quietly to himself.
With this said the Girls became really worried. Just then Luna came through the window and perched herself on Rei's shoulder meowing. And with a look in her eyes as if to say she wished to speak with them. All nodded and bid their farewell to the mother and promised to keep an eye out for Usagi.
As they left to have a scout meeting Ami looked at her watch. It was almost 9 PM. And she excused herself saying that her mother was expecting her to be home at nine due to some thing. And she left after saying she'll call as soon as she is free.
[Princess?]
[I know what you want to say, for I heard to. And no. I do not sense any Evil's on Earth. Which is strange. I'll have the Outer Scouts come to. I'll meet you at the lake.] And the Princess thoughts disappeared out of her mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At Rei's Temple ~~~
Mina was the first to speak. "You don't think she was . . . Kidnap after she left do you?"
"Knowing that meatball-head, it's a possibility." Grumbled Rei.
Chibi-Usa sat on Rei's bed, "How irresponsible can one be in one night?"
"Ahem!" Luna cried out. And all eyes were on hert
"Sorry Luna. We forgot you were here." Said Mina, and there was a huge sweat drop on Luna's face.
"Anyways. There was an incident yesterday in outer space, right outside our solar system. Two shooting stars passed through our solar system and landed somewhere here. Artemis is now trying to detect where it landed, but to no avail yet. And there was one strange thing. A huge meteorite was closing in, but the four outer planets glowed and reflected it back outside, changing it's course. I tried to contact the Outer Scouts, but there is no answers." Luna caught her breath before going on. "There is something going on, something big. We'll have to be on our guard at all times." Luna looks around. "By the way? What happened to Usagi?"
Rei told everything that happened last night, rather pissed still. And a possibility that meatball head might be kidnapped.
Luna shakes her head looking down. "At this rated she'll never make a good leader. Or a princess. Oh well. I'll go back to Artemis and see if we can pinpoint her." And with that she leaped out the window and disappeared out into the night.
The girls talked for hours through the night without any conclusions.
"I guess we just have to wait? I don't sense nothing in the fires." Rei finally replied.
"You may be right. I hate to wait. But what can we do?" Sighed Minako.
After bidding good-bye Minako and Makoto left for home, and Chibi-Usa spend the night at Rei's house to allow the Tsukino family to grieve on their own.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Princess rose from her silver throne and walked out to the balcony over looking the gardens with the Earth looming overhead.
"Celestial! Nova! Please come here now!" The Princess called out for her new Guardians.
"Yes your Majesty?" Celestial replied after appearing next to her Princess, kneeling on one knee.
"Is there something concerning you greatly your Majesty?" Nova appeared next to Celestial, slithering lower as if bowing/kneeling.
"Yes. There seems to be a disturbance down on Earth. Do you feel anything? Any disruption?" Asked the Princess.
Nova closed her eyes. "I sense that the Earth is slowing being depleted by some Darkness. As if the Life Lines, the Ley Lines are being tapped from somewhere. But not on Earth. In . . . Space somewhere?"
"Yes. I sense it to. In the Outer Regions of our Solar System. A Darkness is starting to grow." Celestial answered.
"Hmmm." Was all the Princess can say, and started to think to herself. 'The meteor? I felt Darkness in it when I reflected it back. Maybe those shooting stars that landed on Earth has something to do with it?'
"Sailor Celestial, Sailor Nova. I want you to keep an eye on the Outer Regions for any Darkness growing and heading this way. I have a meeting today with Mercury soon, and I'll call the Outer Sailor. I think it's time I Awaken them. I believe something Is going to happen soon. And I want them prepared for anything."
"As you wish Princess." The two Sailors Replied and they faded away to do as their Princess wish of them. Keeping their link to her incase of emergencies.
Princess Serenity looked up at the Earth. "An evil so great that it will cause an era of Great Darkness. I wonder if this is what my future self was worried about? I better awaken the Outers and Mercury, just incase they strike soon. Their new powers will come in great help soon. And as for the others. They will remain the same until further notice." She smiled at the thought. 'Whose Helpless now?'
Then a low growl comes from her lips as she senses that Luna had given up on her. "Ah Luna. You have no trust in me? Not even as Your Princess? Very well then. I still have another advisor, whom I can Count on Always." Serenity raises her scepter and begins to chant.
"Oh Great Guardian of the Moon. Bathed in the Ray's of Selene's Light. She who prowls in the midnight sky, in the depths of darkness. Beneath the Light's Silver Wings. I am she who wields the One. I am the Champion of Justice and Love. Dance with Me! Cry out with Me! I must have thee by My Side! Come forth my lighted companion! Come my dearest Electra! Our Time of New Beginnings has Come!"
"Electra! Come back to me, my dear old friend!" In a flash of eye, a white miniature panther-like creature with an eight pointed star on it's forehead stood before the princess. With iridescence butterfly-like wings, and a silver ear cuff on it's right ear embedded with a huge dark blue stone. (Think Spinel Sun from CCS but white, cuter, and rainbow glittering wings! ^.^)
"It has been awhile Princess Serenity. How may I be of service?" Replied the mini panther-like cat.
"I ask thee. Will you Be my Guardian once more?" Asked the Princess
"You only need but ask Princess. I am at your command." Said Electra.
Princess Serenity smiled a sweet smile. "Come. I must awaken the Outers and Sailor Mercury. I'll need them to be at their true state, if we are to win over the coming Darkness." And she to faded in a glittering light of moonbeams.
Electra nodded and faded away with her Princess.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Princess at the Lake and New Powers? ~~~
Ami waited by the lake by the park. And soon found out she was not alone. "Haruka-san? Michiru-san? Hotaru-chan? Why are you here so late?"
Haruka glared at the blue haired girl, "Why are you up so late?" She questioned back, with anger tinted into it. For she found out by Pluto earlier what had happened.
"I. . . . The Princess told me to wait for her here." Ami replied quietly.
Haruka's eyes widen. "The Princess! You . . . you know?!"
"That Usagi is now Princess Serenity? Yes, I do." Was Ami's calm reply.
"Now now Haruka. Mercury stood up for me when no one would. I trust her and forgave her already."
The girls looked around and found no one.
"Princess? Is that you?" Michiru asked the empty space before her.
"Yes. I'm here." And on top of the lake a beautiful maiden just appeared out of thin air. Her long golden with silvery highlighted hair reached the floor of the lake, but not touching. It was let loose behind her with only two side braided hair tied to the back. Upon her head was a golden tiara of diamonds, pearls, and opals. Her eyes a clearest glacier blue with a spark of silver in them, and a kind lips, tinged in a pinkish red. She wore a long ruffled dress styled like a nightgown, sheer and glittering like moon dust. And it was attached to a golden shoulder collar that was embedded with diamonds, pearls, and opals with arcane designs on it. She was definitely stunning. And she was their Princess. She laughed at the open mouth Haruka. "Uranus. Don't look so shocked. You don't expect me to wear the same dress as I did a millennia ago do you?"
"Uhh...Ummm...No...It's just that.....Your so.....Beautiful....Like an Elf or some magical being." Haruka replied awestricken. The Princess only giggled more.
Michiru spoke first, "Princess? Why did you call us here? Is there something wrong?"
The Princess nodded slowley. "There seems to be a darkness growing here on Earth. It is slowly draining the Earth of it's Life Essence. It's Ley Lines. The source of all Planets energy and Life. But . . . The source is not here on Earth. Not yet at least. It is coming from the Outer Regions of our Solar System. I believe they are powerful beings to do such a long range attack. So I called you all here to awaken you. To your true selves."
"Our true selves?" Ami questioned.
"Yes. I believe your normal powers will do no good to these new coming threats. So I must Reawaken you True Powers. That my mother sealed away long ago. To prevent you all from being used by any dark forces." The Princess told her.
Ami, Haruka, and Michiru looked at each other confused.
"You plan to awaken our Godly Powers Princess? Along with the Weapons?" Hotaru asked.
Princess Serenity only nods. "Are you ready to be awakened? I will not force you, If you are not ready."
And all said at together as if their hearts was one. "We Will do Anything to Protect you My Princess."
"Good. Then it shall be done." The Princess summoned her scepter to her hands and smoothly walked over the pond not causing a single ripple in it. She lifted one hand up for Haruka to help her up to the pier. "Electra. They are ready."
Suddenly the once mini panther came before the scouts in her full leopard form. Her head reached the waist of the Princess, the star on her forehead shone brightly and her butterfly wings were glittering all the colors of the rainbow. "I'm ready when you are Princess."
The Princess nodded and raised her staff, closed her eyes, and recited the spell of breaking her mother taught her long ago. "Oh great powers of the moon. Unseal those that had been sealed. Free the ones that can save our world. Free the one whose might, might be retold! By the powers invested in me by the Holy Goddess Selene. I Princess Serenity Releases you!" Her scepter, and Electra's star glows brightly, and then the scouts themselves are envelope in a soft white light.
First to show was a new Sailor Mercury. Her short blue hair grew to shoulder length and laid around her shoulders in soft waves. Her eyes are now a pale glacier blue with a hint of silvery speckles in it. And her fuku has changed drastically. Her skirt is in three layers, blue on the bottom then silver in the middle and a pale blue on top. Between her blue ribbon on her chest now lays a crystal in the shape of a snowflake. And the ribbon on her back now turned to a transparent dark to light blue fairy wings. Even her earrings changed, it is now a pale light blue stud with a dangling snowflake. And lastly on her right hand, she holds a silver spear with ancient runes running up and down the length of it. Ami looked at her changed and looked surprised to see a spear in her hands.
"That is the spear Gungnir. It never misses it's target. Your main move is called Diamond Dust, and your final moves is called Absolute Zero. Use it to protect Our Princess." Replied Electra, and Ami nodded in reply.
Next was Sailor Uranus. Her hair hasn't changed in length but it did became a bit lighter then usual. Her eyes were a deeper, more powerful dark blue. And her gold hoop earrings grew a little bigger and a dark blue orb seems to be orbiting around the length of the hoop. And her fuku was also three layers. Deep dark midnight blue on the bottom a deep gold in the middle and deep dark sapphire blue on the top. In the center of her deep midnight blue ribbon on her chest laid a crystal in the shape of shield with a sword behind it. And in her right hand, she held on to the double edge sword. (Umm think of 2 backward crescent moon-like word or a S shaped sword. ^.^;; Umm Zidane from FF9? Got it yet?)
"Sailor Uranus. That is the sword Seraphy. It can cut through Anything. Even kill the Undead. Protect to princess well." Electra looked at Uranus, and Uranus bowed down her head in reply.
Now it was Sailor Neptune's turn. Her hair changed to an almost watery-flowy-like light aqua-green color. Her stud earrings became a clear sphere with a aqua-green lava looking water floating in it, and fishes (tinnnyy fishes) were swimming in it. Her three layer skirt was a deep aqua-green on the bottom, a dark silvery white middle, and lighter version of aqua-green on top. In the center of her breast ribbon was a crystal in the shape of a seashell with a golden mermaid wielding a golden trident in her right hand. And in her right had was that same golden trident, glowing a pale golden light, and decorated with different colored blue and green jewels were encrusted in it.
"That is the trident Leviathan. With the power of the sea gods wrath in it. Use it to protect our princess." And with that saying from Electra, Neptune also bowed down her head in reply.
Lastly was Sailor Saturn. (Man! I am running out of ideas here!) Her hair grew way down to her waist, a deep ebony black with a purplish hue. Her earrings were the same, a 4 dimensional star crystal. And her skirt layers were a deep royal purple underneath, bright gold in the middle, and a deep violet on top. Between her breast ribbon laid the same star crystal, but with a dark purple orb glowing like a miniature universe within it. And in her hands her glaive took on a new shape. A black obelisk pole with a glimmering silver two pronged edged knife like object.
"That is the glaive Apocalypse. It has the same power as before, but more powerful than before. Protect our Princess well with it." And Hotaru nodded in reply.
Princess Serenity looks at her senshi in their true forms. "You are more powerful than before. It will take you awhile for you to remember how to control your powers. But remember, trust in yourself and your heart will guide you. Now to tell you of your Guardian Gods." Serenity smiled at her senshi as their jaws dropped, except for Saturn.
"Mercury. Your Guardian God is Mimir, the god of wisdom and of ancient magics. And because you are weaker than the rest, only you have a warrior to help you. She is the Goddess of Winter, Skadi. Once you remember, you'll know how to summon her and use her for your attacks. Uranus. Your Guardian God is Enlil, the "Lord of the Wind." Neptune. Your Guardian Goddess is Nammu, Goddess of the Waters. And Saturn. Your the Goddess of Ereshikigal, and also, you have the power to see the past with the Book of the Dead. (Not the Egyptian one, but the Babalonian one.) By controling Beletseri the "clerk" you can decide the fate of your enemies, and "Judge" the guilty." Electra briefed as the Princess looks up at her senshi's again. And she stays there for awhile smiling at them.
All three were agape and lost in thoughts for awhile, except for Saturn. For she and Pluto only knew of their ancient past and the Truth of their True Powers. But she remember not about Electra.
Then they all kneeled down to their Princess and renewed their oath to her once again. For now, it is a new begining. To work for a new Future, unplanned and free to do as what your heart always desired. To be free from faith's hands and free to live the life one wished and dreamed off. And like a Phoenix they burned with a new determination and hopes for a new future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somewhere in the park, far from where the Princess and her senshi were. Two dark figures slowly formed to solidity. They looked up at the bright moon and endless seas of stars.
"We're alive?" One answered
"It seems so. We must seek the Princess of the White Moon. And warn her of the impending danger." The other replied.
"But. They will kill us on sight!"
"We have to try. We have to." Was all the other said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
