KONNICHIWA MINNA-SAN! Heheheheeee! It's MEEEE! I'm back to torture you with all my horrific events of how the Sailor Moon Story should go! ::Grins:: Feel lucky! Anywho…. Well my PC crashed a couple days ago so I stuck using my Laptop and it doesn't quite save HTML documents very well… without the paragraph indents. Now to you guys out there you might not care… but it's a little nit-picky thing I have. Remember: I don't own Sailor Moon! ^^;;
And… I NEED YOUR HELP!
I've got parental approval to go to Japan as a foreign-exchange student, but the program I'm going through (Youth For Understanding) is EXTREAMLY expensive -_-;; and I have to pay for it out of my own pocked o.O so… if anyone out there knows where I can get a program at a reasonable cost… I'd be glad to have any contributions! THANKS A BUNCH! KISSIES!
A beautiful woman with milky skin, garnet eyes, and long, flowing, deep-green hair stood dressed in very strange garb. It seemed to be a tight white leotard with a short ruffled, black skirt with a dark purple bow at the small of her back. Around her neck sat a black sailor collar, and on her head was placed a golden tiara with a garnet crystal n the center. Three-quarter length gloves and knee-high black boots seemed to make the costume even stranger.
"Hm… I feel something strange…" Her voice was soft as she spoke. Stepping forward and holding out her hand, a beautiful silver staff appeared. Adorning the top of the staff was a shining garnet orb. She took the staff in both hands and began to draw a rectangle in the air. The rectangle was large enough to pass a person through.
As the woman finished drawing the rectangle a doorway appeared; an elaborate, silver one, who's strange adornments seemed to match the staff in the woman's hand. She touched the top of the doorway with the top of her staff. A bright white light flashed and the doors opened… showing nothing.
The woman gasped and quickly closed the doors. There was no image! What could be happening to the princess? It was time to speak with the guardian.
Luna was curled on the couch comfortably. It was the first good night of sleep… as strange as it may sound. Her primitive nocturnal senses began to kick in as she woke slowly. Glancing toward the clock she noticed it was nearing one o'clock. She forced herself back into a half-sleep.
"Luna," Came a soft voice.
"I'm not here… leave a message after the beep…" Luna yawned in response.
"Luna!" The soft voice said more urgently.
"Uh."
"Luna!"
Luna's eyes shot open and she stared back into a pair of garnet ones.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She yelped, jumping back from the strange eyes that glittered in the dark. "WHO ARE YOU!?"
Lights flashed on as two bed-dressed men walked into the living room. There, bathed in light was one black cat and one beautiful woman with long green hair and garnet eyes.
"P… Pluto?" The cat choked out. The woman nodded. Her attire was odd… it seemed to be an original Senshi fuku. The kind that hadn't been used since the Silver Millennium.
"Luna-san, I have opened the gates of time," Pluto spoke, "… And I saw nothing. Something is happening to our princess."
Luna gasped, "Oh no… you saw nothing?"
"Nothing… I have come to help rescue the princess and restore the future," She was so calm about the news she had been speaking, that it seemed very odd compared to the urgency of the situation.
Luna's head snapped to the two young men, "Yaten, contact Taiki and Seiya this moment!"
Yaten nodded and quickly picked up the phone, dialing the number. Luna turned back to Pluto.
"What do you think we should do?" She questioned.
Pluto seemed very calm and slightly ashamed, "We must awaken the other senshi…"
"All of them?" Luna gasped.
"We have to!" Pluto snapped suddenly, "I know it's dangerous… but we have no choice! If we don't awaken them, the princess will die! I feel it!" Tears flooded her eyes as a look of deep pain and loss crossed her face.
Luna looked up at Yaten at the phone, and then over at Mamoru who seemed frozen in both fear and thought. Her throat tightened up at the thought of anything happening to her princess… Pluto was right, it was the only way to save her.
Usagi gasped and threw herself to the floor on her hands and knees. She began to cough fiercely, her body racking in convulsions. Blood flowed from her mouth in a sickening, metallic taste.
Holding her stomach she fell back against her bed. Sweat poured off her body as her mind tried to make sense of everything that had just happened. What were these feelings she was having? Her breath seemed to scrape hard against her lungs in her chest as she fought to regain sensible thought. What were all those images… what were those emotions?
She let a few tears fall from her eyes as she recalled the images. Blood covered bodies… chard flesh. The screaming… the yelling…
She sobbed suddenly, feeling a small flow of blood stream from her mouth. What was this… why was she in this pain…?
Seiya looked up at the strange woman before him, she was beautiful… no doubt about that, but there was something foggy about her. Something that didn't seem to fit.
Mamoru began to speak, "Pluto-"
The woman looked up quickly, "I'll be living with you, Mamoru-san, as a… civilian. You might as well call me by my real name."
"And that is?" He questioned.
"Setsuna," She said softy. It was a strange name to her… she hadn't used it in over two millennium.
"Setsuna-san," Mamoru began again, "How are we going to wake the other senshi?"
"One at a time," She spoke.
Luna looked up, "We must train them also, I have a good feeling that Xavier won't stop with attacks… even though he has Serenity."
Seiya cringed at the name. It didn't seem right to call her Serenity… He was still coping with the fact that Usagi was his princess.
"I agree," Taiki said calmly, "He won't stop until he has the Earth."
"Who is to be woken first?" Yaten questioned.
"We've talked about it… and we've decided Uranus must be woken. She is the physically strongest of the Senshi."
"I know who everyone of the Senshi is… however awakening them drains much of my energy… so we must only awaken one senshi every seven to ten days…" Setsuna said in her strangely calm voice.
"Hai…" everyone said calmly, almost deadpan like.
"We will contact Uranus tomorrow evening," Luna said, her eyes closed in some attempt to calm her mind, in order to make sense of all of this.
"If I man be so bold as to ask… who is Uranus?" Taiki questioned.
Setsuna looked up, glanced at Seiya then looked at Taiki, "Tenoh Haruka. I believe… a friend of Seiya-san?"
"Ha… Haruka-kun?" Seiya nearly choked.
"Hai… Gomen-nasai, Seiya-san…" Setsuna said quietly, "She is Sailor Uranus."
All this information was too much for Seiya. For a moment he thought his head would explode… His princess… his soul-mate was Usagi… and now… now, his best friend was the strongest Sailor Senshi? The world was screwing with his mind and he didn't like it at all.
"Excuse me… while I process this information…" Seiya stood up and walked out of the apartment and down the hall to where he lived with Taiki temporarily. He walked into the apartment and went directly to his room.
'Usa… damnit… I wish you cold be here now… you'd know what to do… how to make me feel better. I'll get you back, Usa… I swear.'
Usagi's mind whirled as a sudden calm washed over her. It was so strange… like a blanket of serenity had just draped across her shoulders. She touched her heart, wishing more then anything that she could be free from this place. All it was, was an elaborate prison…
But, none of that seemed to matter right now… this calm feeling had taken her almost into a state of ecstasy. It was like… like when she was… when she was with Seiya! That's what it felt like!
Like the morning she woke up to him… or when he held her in his arms… it was that exact same feeling! Like how he kissed her…
Her lips tingled softly and she touched the cracked skin with her fingertips. Seiya… she missed him. Some how she felt Seiya would do anything to get her out of here… anything at all. That seemed to offer some kind of comfort, no matter how deranged.
She climbed back onto the bed, burying herself deep under the covers, wrapping her arms tightly around herself… imagining Seiya was holding her and keeping her safe from anything.
Imagination is a powerful tool.
Seiya woke the next morning feeling heavy in his soul. His mind wasn't cleared as it usually was, only more cluttered. His dreams had been… less then invigorating.
Images of that blasted Xavier taking advantage of Usagi had danced through his mind… and one image he never wanted to see again, something he had buried long ago.
The image of his children being murdered… after his beautiful wife.
He wanted to forget that… he never wanted to feel that pain again! That was the day he declared war on Novith-Prime… that was the day all had ended in the Galaxy…
Seiya looked up his body and mind screaming in pain… one lone vision passed over his eyes… the charred remains of his love… and the death of his new-born children.
"NOOOOOOO!" He slammed his body into the door, breaking through the barrier. There stood a man with long white hair, icy eyes and a cruel smile.
"Oh… so the pitiful general has come to play has he?" The man laughed.
"XAVIER!" It was Xavier… it was Usagi's arranged marriage.
Xavier bent down slowly picking up ashes from the floor, he threw them into Seiya's face. "Meet your children, General Seiya!"
Forcing back tars of anguish he threw himself at the man, "FUCK YOU, BASTARD!" They tumbled to the ground, Seiya throwing rock hard punches at the man.
"Damn you! Moon-being!" Xavier threw energy at him pushing him off and throwing him into the wall. He touched his lip and forehead… a strange deep-blue substance flowed from small gashes. "You'll pay! You have shed the blood of one powerful being!" In a flash he was gone.
Seiya picked himself up from the floor, holding his dislocated shoulder. "Damn you…" He sobbed, "You'll never get away… we're at WAR!"
Seiya sat up in bed sobbing… he'd now been up for a good hour, and the tears hadn't subsided. Usagi… all he wanted was for Usagi to be safe… Damnit! He hated feeling this helpless. He hated not being able to be with Usagi.
"I swear… I swear I will kill you my self, Xavier…" Seiya growled through clenched teeth, "You'll pay for what you have done… my daughter… my son… my love… I'll kill you with my bare HANDS!"
Rage seemed to be his only company… and company loves misery.
Depression creeped up on him like a foreshadow of doom. Like some omnipotent demon, there to collect his soul. Seiya liked the feeling for once… it made him feel like he could do something…
He reached under his bed and pulled out a small rectangular box. It was dusty and aged… as though it was thousands of years old. He opened the lid, and there sat an elaborate golden dagger. The dagger he would use to kill the one who had killed his children. Who had killed his young wife.
"Seiya…" Taiki stood in the door way, and Seiya's state of mind snapped as he looked up at him.
"Taiki-kun?" he questioned.
"Seiya… you're not going to get anywhere is anger is your only fuel. Seiya… you love Usagi, use that to help you conquer Xavier… not your rage."
"Taiki! You don't understand! My children! Barely taken from the womb and he KILLED THEM!" Seiya sobbed heartily, the dagger falling to the floor, box and all.
"You're right… I don't understand… I can only imagine. But, Seiya… you can't let this eat you. This feeling will consume you and you'll be no better then Xavier himself…"
This statement struck Seiya through the heart like a cold sword. He looked up at Taiki, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. Maybe… maybe Taiki was right. Seiya couldn't let this consume him… it would do no good. And it wouldn't get Usagi back any faster.
He nodded slowly, rising to him feet, "You're right, Taiki-kun."
Taiki smiled weakly, "Everyone's over at Mamoru's. You can come when you're ready, okay?"
"Okay," Seiya said. Taiki nodded and walked out of the room, then out of the apartment. Seiya let tears stream down his face.
He was frustrated… all he wanted was his princess back. His beautiful Usagi-chan…. Getting up he quickly showered and dressed. He knew he should eat, knowing he'd barely eaten anything since Usagi was kidnapped, but his heart didn't feel like it.
'You're going to hurt yourself… all you need is a little something… just a piece of fruit…' his mind tempted him. Seiya pushed the little voice away and walked out of the apartment, frustrated, confused, and terribly lonely.
