Title: Becoming Another

Chapter Seven

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***

Helios stirred slightly in his bed, feeling terribly hungry. The rumble of his stomach finally woke him up, eyes feeling tired and heavy with sleep. A hand went up to rub the sleep from his eyes, inadvertently covering them from the sunlight. Looking around, his blue eyes stung from readjusting to the light and he found his room empty with only him in it. Usually a maiden knew when he was about to awake and was waiting for him. The Guardian sighed and got up, finding his way into his bathroom for a shower before breakfast.

**

" Lia?" Bunny looked over to the maiden who was pouring tea.

" Yes M'lady? "

" How long does Helios sleep? On regular days, I mean. It's almost ten."

" He's up at eight everyday Miss Bunny. I suppose he was more drained from the attack than we all thought." Lia gave her a warm smile as always and went back to painting a picture of the lake that lay a few yards from the dome patio they were sitting under.

" I suppose…" Bunny just sipped her tea and watched her friend paint the scenery. Today it was warm in Elision, though it usually was, and everyone was outside being lazy and having fun. A breeze flew by and ruffled her light green sundress and sunhat upon her blue hair.

" Oh! So this is where everyone is! My, my, I thought I was alone." Helios grinned at Bunny and sat down. Another maiden with blonde hair brought him some breakfast and then skipped off to play with a little girl who had blonde hair too.

" Feeling better Helios? You lost a lot of energy last night."

" Feeling better?…" Memories of last night flooded back in a race and he had a million different emotions on his face, though the girl across from him noticed his blush.

" Your blu-" Bunny was interrupted as Setsuna came to join them under the dome.

" Hello. Feeling better Guardian?" It seemed Setsuna was back to being her mysterious self, the strength was back in her voice, and her eyes shined with that old light.

" Oh, yes, much better. I'm guessing the crystals are fully attached to you?" Helios's eyes flicked over the two crystals hanging around their necks, both looking like small charms since it seems they shrunk quite a bit.

" Yes., it also seems that we acquired a part of the last Senshi's personalities." Setsuna looked pointedly at Bunny, who glared a bit but looked else where after a second.

" That's interesting. I'd like to see your transformations after breakfast, where we can also start training." Helios looked for both of their agreements and was surprised by the new Earth Royal's eager look. It was…not the look he'd expected from her.

**

Helios sat down on a small platform that held a large sitting pillow. It was here, out in the meadow, that he thought it best for the new Senshis to train and build strength. The Guardian would watch for mistakes and meditate when he wasn't needed. He didn't need to be in complete silence to do such a thing, he found it easier with noise around. No one said he was a normal Guardian, did they?

" Well?" He quirked an eyebrow at them.

" EARTH G META!" Golden light shot from the ground and made it so Bunny was no longer seen.

" SUN G META!" Matching golden light struck Setsuna from the few clouds over them, shrouding her in sunny light.

- Oh, that's much different than the others!- Helios didn't shield his eyes this time. Even if it was bright.

Then the light vanished, leaving in it's wake two very powerful looking Senshi. The blue haired one (who had to be Bunny, but he could be wrong), stood tall and proud, a familiar light to her eyes, and that eager expression in place. Next to her, stood who he expected to be Setsuna, a mysterious air around her and she too had a familiar glimmer in her garnet red orbs.

" State your names, Senshi." Helios, held a commanding voice, just like the old days when he'd trained the first two.

" For Earth, I am Sailor Senshi Meta Earth." Came the proud and powerful voice of the new Senshi. Helios found it hard to believe such a ready voice to belong to Bunny, who had always had a very innocent sounding voice. But there she stood.

Boots of ever green went up her legs to her mid-thigh, laced with light ashen brown ribbons. The skirt of her fuku was in strips hanging to two inches above her boots. The first layer of strips (hanging vertically) was also ever green, the layer under it midnight blue, then ashen brown. Her body piece was white, as usual, with a belt in a braid of the same colored ribbons around her waist, where in the back it turned into the bow. The front bow was the same as the back, except it had nothing leading into it, just a bow of entwining ribbons, the golden crystal lay in the middle, smaller than before. Her collar was midnight blue, and on her arms were white, fingerless, elbow length gloves. Silver studs decorated her ears and matched well with her silver tiara. Long blue hair spilled down her back in a braid. The eagerness had yet to leave her face, which smiled with pride.

" For Earth, I am Sailor Senshi Meta Sun." The woman who was Setsuna underneath said clearly, her eyes shining.

Boots of sun yellow went up to her mid-thighs, laced with light gold ribbon. The skirt of her fuku lay in strips like her fellow Senshi, two inches above boots. The top layer was sun gold, then sun orange, and light gold underneath. Her belt was of the same colors and pulled in the back to make a large bow of ribbons. The Sun sphere glimmered in the middle of her front bow, some what the same color as her sun orange collar. A gold tiara matched gold studs, which contrasted nicely with her garnet green hair, which lay in a braid down her back. White, fingerless, elbow length gloves covered her arms.

They bowed to Helios with respect and waited for him to tell them to straighten up.

" Please stand. I see many changes in you… both of you" Helios smiled slightly, but during that slight pause, he had looked to Meta Earth, Bunny was not who she was anymore. The changes were great in her, far too great to not be watched.

Suddenly, a squawk was heard from the sky. Looking up there was a large flying beast coming towards them. Large eagle wings set the beast down next to the platform Helios sat upon. It gave a small chirp, which sounded to small for it's great body. With just one glance, you'd think this creature was a dark yellow, but no, it was a lovely soft orange color that could be seen clearly with a closer look with the way the sun hit it's wings. The front half of the beast was of an eagle, with deep set gold eyes and a large black beak. The back half was of a horse, taut muscles could be scene through the fine soft orange hair. The creature beat it's wings a bit, signaling a new arrival running towards them over the green blades of grass.

This creature was a large land animal. Large paws stomped the ground as it came to a halt on the other side of the platform. A bark came from it's mouth and it began to paw curiously at some fringes from the pillow Helios sat on. Innocent looking large silver eyes finally took notice of the beings around him and it wagged a large bushy dark grass green tail. It resembled a dog in appearance, but mostly in the way it behaved. It's face had the long, but not very long, nose of fox, with roundness of a dogs face too. Minus the puffy hair on a foxes face, but it's ears were large and stuck up like a foxes, everything else was clearly canine. Especially with the large paws. The one thing that looked off was the small upturned horn in the middle of it's head.

" To my right is a female Griffin, to my left is a male Dox. These are you new loyal companions. You will name them, train them, and help them grow. Yes, they are only babies." Helios petted the neck of the baby Griffon, and it chirped happily in return.

" Babies? Wow, do we name them too?" Meta Earth looked at the Dox's silver eyes and grinned.

" Yes, you name them too. First part of the training is to get your new friends to obey you and follow orders. It shouldn't be hard, they're very trusting animals. You may choose now." Helios went on to pet the Griffon softly and it kept chirping softly.

Earth and Sun looked at each other and nodded. Sun went to the Griffon and looked the beast in the eyes. Red met Gold and the Griffon chirped happily and beat it's wings, nudging the Senshi a bit. Earth went to the Dox and sat down on her legs to look the baby in it's silver eyes, grinning. The baby barked and licked her hand, showing a row of sharp fanged teeth.

" Well, go then, train them. But don't forget to name them too." The Guardian watched them run off a little ways into, jumping around on the valley grass.

Earth plopped down on the grass and patted the spot in front of her. It took a few minutes and many pats, but the baby Dox got the point and lay in front of her, staring with those large silver eyes.

" What to name you…what do you think of…Tarak? It means protector." She looked at him and watched his expression, it seemed the baby understood her well enough. Then it gave a small bark that definitely meant next name.

" No? Okay, lets see…the only other ones I like are Shields, which means loyal protector, or Zareth, protector of Earth. Which one, one or two?…hold on…ummm…bark once for Shields and two barks for Zareth, alright?" Earth waited for the barks and wondered which it liked best.

Then came one bark. And only came one bark.

" Shields it is! Would you like a collar with your name on it?" The Senshi waited for a reaction and Shields yipped and wagged his bushy tail.

" Alright, let me just think a sec." So she thought, then held out a hand. In her grasp was suddenly a navy blue collar with a small version of the golden crystal dangling, in one facet of the crystal was his name written in a fancy font.

" How this?" Earth grinned when he yipped, leaning over, she placed it around his neck and watched how the small crystal twinkled when it caught sun rays.

Another few yards away, Sun sat with her hand holding her chin in thought. Suddenly she jumped up in excitement, startling the poor baby Griffin.

" Kianga! It means sunshine, it's perfect for you! Don't you think?" Sun looked over to the startled Griffon and watched it give a nod.

" Good! Come on, lets see how Princess is doing. " Sun knew she shouldn't call Earth that, last time she did her head was almost bitten off. Her friend was just not the same anymore.

" Meta Earth?"

" We're done. We decided on Shields, my new loyal protector." Earth gave a happy grin and patted Shields on the head, he just yipped and wagged his tail ecstatically.

" What did you name her?"

" Kianga. I never thought I'd put so much effort into a name. But it had to be perfect." Sun smiled, the mysteriousness of Setsuna shining in her eyes.

" Power down. They should see us in our human forms too."

- Human forms? When were we never human before?- Sun didn't say anything but let the power of the Sun sphere wraps itself back into the crystal sphere.

Shields and Kianga looked at the two new beings with curiosity and confusion. Where had their new masters gone?

" Shields, it's just me in my human form. My name is Bunny. See?" Bunny held out a hand and let the Dox sniff it. He wagged his tail again and bounced around her.

" Let's go play alright? I think that'll be the best way for you too train for now, until you get older." Bunny gestured for Setsuna to follow, and she did. Until Kianga chirped loudly and knelt down on the ground. Shields did the same and looked at Bunny patiently, it seemed he wanted her to learn too.

" Do they…want us to ride them?" Setsuna guessed hesitantly, but figured this is what her new animal friend wanted, then slowly climbed on her back. Kianga chirped happily and lifted off from the ground and went soaring into the sky.

Bunny got on Shield's back too and he took off after a second in a quick canter. Luckily, Bunny had been smart enough to make sure the collar wouldn't choke her friend when she went to hold on to it, she'd thought he might want to transport her around like this.

" Go ahead and go faster if you want Shield! This is so much fun!" Bunny giggled on her friend's back as the wind hit her face with increased acceleration.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***

It was later that day and now Bunny felt more relaxed after her bath, which was much needed after romping around with Shield's in a large mud spot they'd found at the edge of Elisions forest. Now it was time for dinner or it would be, as soon as Bunny could get the burdocks out of her Dox's hair.

" Jeez…how ever did you get so many of these things in you?!…hold still..annndd got it!" She stood up in relief but groaned when Lia handed her another brush, this one with close to fine bristles, Shield's fur was completely untidy. Another few minutes gone by, the young woman cried out with relief again and walked out the door, Shields bouncing at her side.

Setsuna met them in the hall, thankfully it was a very large hall too, or else Kianga would not have been able to walk beside her master.

" Evening Setsuna." Bunny smiled happily up at her friend, who was only taller now by two inches.

" Good evening Pr-Bunny." Setsuna caught herself, but felt the glare her leader sent her.

" Not much in you has changed since becoming Meta Sun. It suits you to stay the way you are."

" I sense many changes in you Bunny. It concerns me, do you think you will change completely from the person you used to be?" She was trying to be subtle about it, really, but it seemed this Bunny would be lost forever if they didn't do something. Something much worse could take place as her personality went.

" What changes?-" Bunny was going to continue her questions, but something caught her attention in the dining room.

" Kunzite?! I can't believe it!" The blue haired beauty smiled happily at remembering her very old friend, one she hadn't seen (on the side of the light) in years upon years.

But Kunzite had a very different reaction. Helios had told him that Serena was gone, and Bunny was not Serenity anymore. He hadn't believed it. Kunzite knew she would always be the heart of the Moon, but now he sensed the power of the golden crystal, and he still didn't believe it. Therefore he said what he said…and got the consequences for it.

" Princess Serenity?!" Kunzite's blue eyes widened in shock at her appearance. Bunny of course frowned and became pink in the face with anger. Her eyes burned with dark fire and power swarmed to her hand.

" DON'T CALL ME THAT!" She let loose a small golden globe of power, hurtling it straight to the frightened general…and knocked him out.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***

A/N: Longish chap, hope you like it. Soon the battle begins I promise! I finally got Kunzite in and don't worry, he'll live…as long as he never calls Bunny 'princess' again. But I can't promise that…Review please! C ya!
