***********************
Orpheus ran blindly away from Ryo and the others. She didn't care where she ended up as long it was away from Ryo. His words stung and she didn't know how to react to them, so she fled. Faintly, she heard the call of Stella, "Sailor Orpheus, wait!!" She did no such thing, "Stop running away, I want to help you!" She cried.
Slowly, she came to a walk, then a dead stop. She waited for Stella to reach her before she spoke in a soft voice, "How am I supposed to help him if he doesn't want my help?"
"You have to understand, he was just worried about you. He didn't know you had new powers to fight with and thought you had gone crazy." She nuzzled Orpheus's side with a confident smile, "That young man loves you and would die if anything happened to you."
Orpheus began stroking Stella, "I suppose your right, I overreacted."
"Let's let it slide and head home. I'm sure a warm bath will make you feel all better." Stella looked up to see the Dark gate exit, "Look where you led us!"
"Hey, now we don't have to waste time trying to find our way out." She laughed and they began running towards it, but Orpheus stopped.
Stella noticed she was missing her companion and looked back, "What's wrong?"
She raised a hand to her head and stumbled forward, "I'm feeling really dizzy, I can't..concentrate.." Her eyes closed and she fell to the ground. By the time she had hit the floor, she had reverted back to her normal clothes.
"Mia!" Stella cried and ran to her side, "Mia, get up!" She pleaded. When she got no response, she backed away, "Wait here, I'm going to get help!"
*~*~*~*~*
"Where am I?" Mia asked. She glanced around, only to find herself floating in darkness. Looking down, she realized that she was missing her clothes, "EEEP!!" She squeaked and curled up into a ball, "What's going on??" She asked herself
Suddenly, a small sphere of white light appeared. It danced around Mia before stopping infront of her and began to shift. Soon, it took on the solid form of Tila, "Hello Mia." She smiled softly.
"Tila! Where am I?" Mia asked, relief flooding her.
"You are in your mind and past." Her voice was no longer raspy and deep but became lighter and younger. Tila began to fade and in her place stood a woman with long silvery white hair twisted up into two buns and held a long white staff. She was dressed in a white dress with gold beads lining the rim.
"Y-You look like the girl from my dream." Mia stuttered.
"My name is Queen Serenity, your mother from the past." She stated, holding out her hand.
"My past mother?!" She exclaimed.
"Take my hand and I will explain everything." With hesitation, Mia reached out and placed her hand in Serenity's.
The darkness changed to a beautiful palace with flowers and white stone everywhere. Mia and Serenity stood above it all, watching. Mia knelt down to get a better view, "Now where are we?"
"We are in the deep corners of you hidden memories." Serenity knelt down next to her, setting her staff in mid air, "Thousands of years ago, there lived a civilization on the moon ruled by the moon kingdom and I ruled that palace with my two daughters." Below them, a younger Serenity was seen walking with a toddler and a baby in her arms in the courtyard, "You, Mia, were my eldest daughter, princess Milla and your younger sister was named princess Serenity. At birth, both you and your sister were given special planetary powers to become leaders of the Sailor Scouts."
The image below them changed to one where Queen Serenity was watching two young teenagers practice battling in Sailor suits. One had her mothers hair except a sunny blonde color and the other, who was older, had long, wavy, brown hair that she let fall to her hips and pulled back into a loose ponytail. "Along with your powers, you were each given control of four planets, which each sent one representative as a Sailor Scout. Serenity controlled the inner court of the planets and you, the outer court. Your sister was deemed Sailor Moon, because she inherited my powers, taking charge of Sailor Venus, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter. They were all so innocent and bright eyes to everything they came up against."
"Unfortunately, their battle skills came no where near that of your team." The queen and Mia watched as images of Sailor Orpheus and her scouts fought monsters and battled together, "You had the strength to lead Sailor Pluto," A long, dark green haired woman in an even darker green sailor suit. "Sailor Neptune," Shoulder length, aqua hair with a dull teal sailor suit, "Sailor Uranus," Short, blonde hair and a dark blue sailor suit. "And Sailor Saturn, the most deadly of all scouts." A younger girl, even younger than the inner court with neck length black hair and a violet sailor suit.
Again, the scene changed to princess Serenity talking with four teenagers her age, each dressed in a different, light colored, Sailor suit. Out in the courtyard Milla trained with the outer court, "You grew up to be such a lovely young woman but you never liked the pleasantries of royalty. Unlike your sister, who took every chance to dress up, you would wear your sailor suit. You had once told me it had made you feel like a part of your team." The image changed to a gallant ball where princess Serenity and Milla were seen standing next to each other. Serenity was wearing a white, loose gown while Milla was dressed in her Sailor suit, leaning against the wall.
"Even though you didn't care for the royal life, you respected your heritage and withheld your honor." Shortly, she grew dim at another change of scenery, "Unlike Serenity and I, you bore the mark of Orpheus since your father was the ruler of the mystical planet. Sadly, he was at war with his rebelling planet and was overthrown, killed."
Mia began to remember everything but when she turned 19, her thoughts became clouded, "I'm remembering all kinds of things, but I don't remember anything past my 19th birthday."
Queen Serenity sighed with the faintest hint of a smile, "On your 19th birthday, you were granted the wish to visit earth. There, you met a young Prince Darien and his five young friends you now know as the Ronin Warriors." A new sight fell before Mia and she watched in awe. Milla bowed to the young prince and the Ronins on what appeared to be earth, "During your time there, you fell in love with the leader of the Ronin Warriors, Ryo. Over time, you took constant visits to earth to be with him and your love grew." Pictures of Milla and Ryo began flashing before Mia and her heart sunk, remembering the way she had run off. "One day when you had gone to see him, you were met by Prince Darien and were told that an evil had come upon the land and the Ronin Warriors had gone to destroy it."
"For days you were heartbroken and became emotionless and cold. After time, your friends pulled you out of your trance and your life slowly returned. Things were getting back to normal but then, the first wave of Queen Beryl's reign hit." Mia watched in great anticipation as Milla and the outer Sailor scouts were standing at the gates of the castle, awaiting the attack, "Your sister was too young to fight and so we sheltered her and her court from harm. The battle was furious but soon, Beryl's forces began to weaken. Being the gentle person you are, you allowed Beryl to live if she never returned. Hastily, she agreed and you turned around to join your friends but the witch lied and used the last of her energy to send an energy sphere at you."
"It hit you straight in the back and you fell to the ground. You friends rushed to your side at once, shortly followed by your sister and I. We all pleaded for you to hold on but you died in your sister's arms, wishing us all good luck against the fight with Beryl." Queen Serenity could no longer contain the tears from running down her face and suddenly, Mia remembered that moment.
FLASHBACK
Beryl knelt down on the ground, breathing heavily with Milla standing over her, staff in hand, "Go ahead, kill me now." Beryl hissed.
Milla shook her head, "I will not stoop to your level but leave now and never return to the Moon Kingdom." She snapped with an icy glare.
"Yes, yes I will leave at once." Beryl bowed her head, pretending to be thankful. Milla turned around and walked towards her tired, yet content friends. Unknown to any of them, a ball of energy formed in Beryl's hands and she took aim at the back of the princess. Without warning, she stood up and hurtled it, "Forgive me for not listening!" She shouted before disappearing.
Milla didn't even have time to turn around by the time it hit her in the back and she cried out in pain, "MILLA!" They all shouted before she fell to the ground. Quickly, they all ran to her and formed a semi-circle around her.
"Hold on Milla, you'll be okay." Hotaru soothed.
Momentarily, princess Serenity and the Queen were at her side. Serenity placed her sister's head on her lap and tried to hold back her tears, "Mia, you can't leave me."
Weakly, Milla raised a hand to her sister's cheek, "Oh, come now Serena, you'll do fine without me." She whispered, "Setsuna, Hotaru, Michelle, Amara, you are all my friends and I have cherished every moment we had. I hope you will remember me," Weakly, she turned to Setsuna, "You are my second in command, I want you to guard my staff until I return," With tears flowing from her eyes, Setsuna nodded and grasped the staff. Milla turned to her mother, "Thank you for understanding me mother, I'll miss you and please.if Ryo's alive, tell him.tell him that I.love. him." With her final words, her eyelids fluttered and Milla's head slumped over.
"BERYL!!!!!" Queen Serenity screamed in torment, raising her head to the sky, tearing streaming down her face.
END FLASHBACK
Mia couldn't contain her tears either, "There had never been such a sad day in our kingdom." The queen whispered and wiped away her tears.
"What happened afterwards?" Mia asked, wiping away her own tears with the back of her hand.
"Right after you died, Ryo and the other Ronin Warriors arrived. They had heard about the battle and had come to fight but were horrified to find you dead. Ryo had cried over your body for hours until his friends finally pulled him away. We bid them one last farewell before they went off to fight Talpa again and were never seen again. Your sister was devastated for months, but like you, her friends pulled her out of it and because of it, she forgot you ever existed. As for the outer scouts, they were so depressed, they journeyed to the outer rings of space and guarded the kingdom. Sailor Pluto still holds your staff but it transformed to hide its appearance."
"What happened after all that, what went on?" She asked anxious to know. Serenity shared with Mia everything about princess Serenity and her love with Darien, the earth and moon's rival, Beryl's next attack, the fall of the kingdom, the death of everyone and their now living reincarnated lives. She also gave Mia brief information about all their battle with the Negamoon and the Dream Snatchers.
"Wow, what an exciting life!" Mia admitted.
The Queen smiled at Mia's innocence, but that didn't last very long, "Mia, you have learned of the past and now must journey to Tokyo to find you sister. There you will reclaim your place as leader of the Outer Sailor scouts, retrieve your staff and fight along side your sister. The aid of the Ronin Warriors will be needed, but as to when, I am not sure."
"If it's what I am to do, then so be it." She nodded.
A light glow materialized in front of Serenity and when in died, eleven crystals floated. Each one was a different color as they each sparkled brightly, "Each crystal belongs to a Sailor scout, when you meet them, the stones will go to their rightful owner and give them extra strength to fight a new evil. It will not be easy but I have faith in you."
The crystals floated to Mia where they hovered above her hands and shimmered before disappearing into the air, "Where'd they go?!" She exclaimed, alarmed.
"Don't worry, they've hidden themselves within of you. When you meet the scouts and the time is right, they will reveal themselves." Serenity's eyes softened, "You are my eldest daughter no matter what, please take care of yourself and your sister. I couldn't bear it if I lost you again." Mia floated over to the Queen and hugged her lovingly.
"I promise." Mia hugged her mother closer.
Serenity smiled and pulled away, "You should hurry, your sister may be a great leader, but I feel as though your scouts aren't as willing as they were with you."
Mia laughed and nodded, "Don't worry, I won't fail! I'll miss you mother." The queen blinked back tears and raised her staff.
"I love you..my Milla." Light blinded Mia and she reached up to cover her eyes, only to slip into unconsciousness again.
