Throughout Eternity

Chapter 5

Author's Note: This is going to be even more twisted up. The ending is not going to be the way history says it happened. (Check manga.) But it's my story and it came from my head, so sorry. At least it's original. R&R. Aishiteru.

The Next Day...

"We were forced off our planets of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto by the traitors of Earth. We bring news that we overheard: they are coming here. Their main goal is to make the Moon Kingdom fall to the powers of a woman by the name of Beryl." Setsuna explained.

"We believe that she is their leader in this war. If we could destroy her, her minions would be lost." Michiru added.

"Prince, you were on Earth when they attacked for the second time. Did you see this woman? She was able to levitate. Her hair was a red/brown and stuck straight up. Do you recognize that description?" Haruka asked.

"No, I don't recall seeing any woman by that description or name."

Jadeite and I traded nervous glances and he squeezed my hand. He had seen her in person; me, only in visions, but we know that she knows more about us than we thought.

"General Jadeite. Do you know this woman?" Setsuna asked with a hard voice.

"Not personally. I saw her on the battlefield and Rei saw her in visions. Why?"

"But you conversed with her, did you not? Something about turning to her side, am I right?"

"How did you know that?" Jadeite asked in a growl.

"I guard The Gates of Time. I know what will happen in the future and what had happened in the past. There is nothing I don't know." She answered sternly.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, that was scary. So, we're going to have to fight off all these crazed lunatics? Sounds like fun." Makoto joked.

The very thought of fighting brought back the dream from last night. The blow was so powerful that I nearly choked on the tears welling up inside of me. 'I can't lose Aden. I can't, and I won't.'

"These are not normal people. Somehow, she has brainwashed them, literally. They will do anything she tells them to do. They don't think on their own, so if we get rid of the source-" Haruka explained.

"We get a whole bunch of brainless bozos to kill. What did she do to get that many people o her side?" I asked, hoping that she wouldn't bring up Aden.

"The same thing she tried to do to get Jadeite with her; threaten their families. They can't really resist that, mentally anyway. How'd you do that, Jadeite?"

"Rei had a vision before we were married about me being one of those 'crazed lunatics' and I had killed her. She made me promise that if I ever saw that woman, I will say no to every proposition she makes, even if she threatened my family. That's how."

"But you still thought about turning to her after your son was born, to keep him safe." It was a statement rather than a question, coming from Setsuna. "But, by choosing no the first time, you've managed to change history completely. We have a better chance to beat them if all of the generals ignore that woman. You will, right guys?"

"Yep." Nephrite shot out.

"Uh huh." Zoicite murmured, not looking up from his book.

"You bet." Malachite stated firmly.



Three Days Later...

They promised to tell the Outer Sailor Soldiers every thing that happened to them during the day. It was on the off chance that it would be related to the war that we were trying to avoid. Unfortunately, the rest of us had to promise the same thing. So, everyone heard about everything that appeared in visions, and some weren't too happy.

"I can't believe you see that every night and never tell anyone." Minako shuddered.

"It's not hard. But y'all wanted to know what I see, and there you have it." fortunately, they didn't make me replay the vision about Aden. I could tell that they already knew about it, what with all the mysterious glances that pass between them.

"Wow. But what happened the other night? I heard someone crying-" Makoto started.

"Aden." Minako filled in.

"But it wasn't Aden. I mean, at first it was, but then I think it was you, Rei. What happened?"

I stared straight ahead, but saw the Outers' heads turn to each other. They knew not to ask. But the others didn't, so they did. Tears threatened to spill over once again at the vivid memory. Then, they did spill over. Slowly, one at a time. And everyone wanted to know, so...

END OF CHAPTER 5

Author's Note: hm, I wonder what she'll do when/if she tells them. I don't even know! I gotta go write it! Ach!
