Silver Millennium Life Bonds
Rocky Oberlin
Chapter 2

Disclaimer: Still don't own Sailor Moon or Ronin Warriors. Windy is mine though.

Serena looked around the room at the five older strangers left with them. "So you have problems with your conscience too?" started Serena.
"You could say that," hedged Anubis. "Why?"
"That group of five could tell you stories about their guilt," yelled Windy from the kitchen.
Haruka rolled her eyes and said, "She's talking about something that we thought we had to do to save the Earth. It turns out that our princess was right and we didn't have to sacrifice one of our own."
"But I almost got everyone killed," said Serena.
"But you didn't," countered Setsuna. "You managed to save the Earth and Hotaru."
"So what about your story?" asked Michiru.
"We fought against the Ronins for a demon to take over the Earth," started Anubis.
"But in the end we were shown that we were being used," finished Dais. "If it wasn't for Anubis changing sides, then we may have been stuck in the towers Badamon had put us in."
"What about Windy? She said that you met these girls before, Wildfire," asked Lady Kayura.
"Uhhh," started Ryo. "I'm not really sure."
Windy walked into the room with Cye and Mia. "That is a story best left for dinner and afterward. I will enlighten you then."
"Figures. We finally get to the heart of the matter and we have to wait," grumbled Rowen.
"Patience is a virtue, Rowen. Ask Job, he can tell you all about it," said Windy sweetly.
"Windy? You said that God won't allow the Earth to be taken over by Evil," said Sam.
"Yes."
"How? The Sailor Scouts were the ones that always protected the Earth from evil before."
"Sam," started Windy. "Before the Sailor Scouts were the gleams in their parent's eyes the first time, God was there. He created the earth from nothing and called it good. When Adam and Eve brought evil into the world, He set down rules that blocked the evil from completely taking over. Think of all the things bad that has happened to you." Serena's face clouded up with tears at the thought of losing Rini again. "Now make them a million times worse." Everyone's eyes started to widen. "He has kept you and the Earth protected from any and everything imaginable that could happen. Look at the meteors that pass by the Earth in space. All their paths come close but don't actually hit the Earth. Ones that could 'wipe out the entire population of this planet' have passed us by to go on its merry way. Look at a flower. How it manages to reproduce is amazing and yet there are those who would believe there is no God. He protects them and the ones who do believe in Him. (See author's note at bottom.) Now I will get off my soapbox and let you get ready for dinner, I think it's almost done."

The table was set and Cye and Mia brought out dinner. It was almost funny how everyone grouped together and Windy just smiled and shook her head. This would have to be explained soon or there might be trouble later. The conversation dragged, but some didn't notice. Kento was busy stuffing his face and Serena was too nervous to eat. The Outers on the other hand were watching the Seasonals, who were watching them in return. The Ronins, except for Kento, watched the whole exchange. When the painful dinner was over Windy rose from her place and said, "I think that we should get this story told before bloodshed is drawn." Serena and Sam stood and followed Windy into the living room. Mia followed a few minutes later.
"Well, I guess we should clean up and join them," said Cye. He started to pick the plates.
"I'll help you, Mr. Mouri," offered Hotaru.
Cye smiled. "It's Cye, not Mr. Mouri."
Hotaru returned the smile. "Cye."
Setsuna looked at her adopted child and joined the two. Michiru elbowed Haruka and the two joined in clearing the table. Ryo stood and pulled Rowen with him. "Come on, we have to do dishes tonight."
Rowen groaned, but followed his leader into the kitchen to help dry the dishes as Ryo washed.
"They know their jobs," said Kayura. "May be you guys should take notes." The four Seasonals looked disgusted at the thought. Kento and Sage smirked at the thought of Cale or Dais washing dishes.
"What's so funny, Hardrock?" growled Dais.
"You up to your elbows in soapy water," laughed Kento. He quickly retreated into the living room where the landlady and a powerful force resided.
When the dishes were done and everyone was settled in the living room, Windy started her tale. Looking up from the fire she was staring into she said, "The Silver Millennium wasn't as peaceful as Queen Serenity wanted you to believe. There was trouble not just from the Negaverse on Earth, but also from the Inner planets. They had been disgruntled for a long time and soon decided to break away and form their own monarchy. But to do this, they had to take away the power of the Moon Queen."
"How could they take away, let alone use the Silver Crystal?" asked Luna.
Windy closed her eyes. "They weren't after the Crystal. They were after the two children of the Moon Queen and Sun King. They were after Princess Serena and her twin brother Prince Sage."

AN: Yes, I do believe this. I was told about the picture of the meteor paths that went by the Earth and it looked like a spider's web with the Earth in the middle. Also think about this. When the awful tragedies on September 11 happened, how many people were on those planes that crashed? They weren't filled to capacity as they usually are. I'm not as well versed with the tower deaths, but from what I know it was mostly rescue workers and firemen. How many people were office building workers? Think about it. Flame me if you wish, but I'm not forcing you to believe what I believe. Just like C. S. Lewis you can get a real meaning from this story or just enjoy it as a good/bad/mediocre story.
