Well here I am with inspiration! Mwhahahahaha!!! After a long bus ride and
just plain time to myself, I have made a few decisions. 1, I have decided
that this story will be a two-part series (~The Children of the Stars and
~Destiny is Fate And Fate is a Fickle Thing) Number two, I shall raise the
rating due to an idea I just stumbled upon or at least the implication of
stuff. What my idea is shall be revealed next chapter. And 3, this is the
second to last chapter. ****At the end of this chapter, things are implied
so if you aren't allowed to PG-13 stuff, dun read. There's my warning so I
can't get in trouble.**** On with the story now..
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing, or their characters. I do own the Evanese and other things that do not belong to those people mentioned above.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The odd group left the Evanese in a hurry and returned to Quatre's mansion. Ami was taken up to her room this time. "Her breathing was shallow but she still has a pulse." Hotaru, the other 'doctor' stated. That meant Ami was still alive and that was all that was important The group let out a sigh of relief: a very short sigh but one nonetheless. "Pluto, how are we going to get to Mercury? Without Mercury we cannot Sailor Teleport." Jupiter pointed out.
Sailor Pluto smirked a bit, "With the help of the pilots of course."
All eyes turned on the five young men who looked confused. The senshi bored their eyes into the ex-pilots, making Quatre uncomfortable. He cleared his throat once and loosened his collar. Of course he would have to do more explaining since Sailor Pluto was tabooed from TELLING the story. She had sent him the basic gist of everything so he could explain. "It seems that we Gundam Pilots can channel our energy to help you teleport but a pilot and another senshi must stay here otherwise it would be too much of a strain on everyone's power and bodies."
He stopped for a minute, casting a quick glance at Heero as if he knew what he was thinking before continuing, "Ryo is bound to do whatever he can to make sure that Reilan is kept at bay but he has his own teleporting abilities. It looks like Miss Hotaru is not up for the journey so she should stay with Miss Ami. Heero will stay with the two of them since he has done most of the work for this mission as it is." No one objected.
The pilots put themselves between the different senshi; Sailor Moon was in the middle. Duo grasped Minako's and Rei's hands, grinning at the senshi of love before turning to Quatre, "Now what?" Wufei sighed. This was going to be a long trip.
"Concentrate on our destination, the Planet Mercury." he clearly stated. He sweatdropped when Duo raised his hand that was holding Minako's. "Yes, Duo?"
"How will we breathe? We don't have any equipment and there is no oxygen is space. So are we supposed to hold our breath the whole trip?" the man of American origin questioned. The pilots looked at the senshi for the answer.
"Well we all are the Children of the Stars, so we are able to breathe in space. At least you can if you focus on it. If you get distracted, you'll be like a fish out of water, gasping for air and you will die." Pluto stated simply. The pilots nodded and Duo put on his serious face. No one wants to die like a fish, now do they? And they were gone. Ryo followed suit after one last glance at Ami.
Hotaru stared where the large group had once huddled together, cramped in the room before they disappeared. She felt a little put out because she had been excluded from this adventure but she had more important things to do. She had to watch over Ami. The poor girl was frigid all over but that was because of her powers at work. Her powers were working as an immune system would, protecting its user from whatever has entered Ami's body. Her icy aura began to extend all over the room, freezing Hotaru and Heero with the sub-zero temperature.
************
The rest of the senshi, pilots, and Ryo arrived at the broken kingdom of Mercury. Mercury was a place of learning and of refined arts. Ashes only remained of the temples, theaters, libraries, villages and their villagers from the fighting. The Sank Kingdom was known as the glass kingdom so Mercury would be known as the ice kingdom. It was at times sturdy and yet could be as fragile as glass. They made their way to the palace that loomed over the landscape as their clock ticked.
"Why have we been running and walking for an hour and thirty minutes and the castle hasn't gotten any closer!" Sailor Moon whined, rubbing her poor shins.
"Usagi quit your whining. Remember we have a time limit here!" Mars snapped. "We don't have time to rest unless you want Ami-chan dead."
The senshi froze. Ami's death wasn't a topic they wanted to talk about. Ryo looked at them with an empathic gaze. The princess of ice had managed to become a large part of their lives and his. He would not let her die. He could not let her die. If she were to die, a part of him would as well. "Well if we sit here and argue or be silent, we'll never get anywhere." he said.
"Well Ryo, why don't you transport us over there? You got us out of the Ev- " Venus began but was stopped by the brown haired man.
"The Evanese is where used to I guard over before we were all reborn. That was apart of our treaty with the other planets. I can do whatever I please in the Evanese for it is in my power. I have no such power on Mercury. All I can do is teleport to the village we were in and out from that place to return home." Ryo finished.
The senshi nodded to show their understanding. Of course this long hike was nothing to the pilots. Quatre walked miles in the Sahara Desert, Duo used to always run from the cops when he was younger, Trowa is in the circus and a mystery so we don't know much about him, and Wufei trains daily for anything. This was no big deal for them. "Weak onnas. How can you have been formidable adversaries for us in our past if you are so weak? Your friend is dying and all you can do is whine and argue? What kind of a team are you?" Wufei inquired.
Uranus clenched her fists and took a step towards Wufei but was held back by Neptune, who was glaring at Wufei. Pluto stayed neutral as the other senshi began to argue/yell curses at Wufei, telling he didn't know anything. "STOP IT!!!!!" the group turned to look at Quatre as his eyes flashed dangerously, daring anyone to make another sound.
The Gundam boys backed away from their ally, fearing he would lose his mind again and start killing them off. "We are not here to argue. We are not here to fight each other. We ARE here to save someone's life. If this continues then we will be to late to save Miss Ami and she will die with no guarantee that Reilan will die with her. Now everybody be quiet and keep moving!" his voice was no longer kind and sweet but harsh and monotonous. The group was a little afraid and began to hike up the mountain in front of them.
When they reached the palace an hour later, the group did not except what lay there. They certainly didn't expect this. The palace that they had seen from afar was magnificent but here is was nothing but walls of crystal and marble that lay smashed on the floor. "It was only an illusion." Trowa stated, kicking a shard of glass that stuck out of the ground. Every action causes a reaction, and so the ground shook, causing more glass and marble from the walls of the palace to plummet to the ground. A pillar rose from where the glass had once been with a small figure on it. It was a woman with dark brown, flowing hair and azure eyes that wore a long, icy blue gown, the symbol of Mercury shown proudly on her forehead.
The woman smiled. "Hello Serenity-hime, Sailor Senshi," she paused when she caught sight of the pilots and Ryo, "And Gundam Senshi or would you like your normal title as Princes of the 4 corners of the Earth?" She looked at them with interest and spoke before they answered, "I see that the Prince of Elysion is not here as well as my daughter and Saturn-hime."
"Queen Umi of Mercury, Prince Endymion did not come with us." Sailor Mars told the figure.
The small woman frowned. "I was not speaking about Endymion, my son. I am speaking of the man that is now called Heero Yuy for he is the true prince of Elysion." stated the Queen of Mercury before turning to Sailor Moon, "Your mother was not aware that you and your court, Serenity-hime, would return to this place. I was and I have prepared for the return of Reilan. I know that is why you are here right now."
The senshi looked at the figure before them. Sailor Venus was about to ask a question but Trowa butted in. "Will you give us the crystal so we can return to Earth?" he asked.
"Prince of Genbu, I will grant your request." the small woman told, raising her hands in front of her. A crystal appeared in her hands but it was of an odd shape. It was in the shape of a flower called Lily of the Valley with 5 petals but was the color of a sapphire. It was beautiful as the light of the sun reflected off of its precious petals. Queen Umi held the crystal out for someone to take.
"Only those of Mercury and the Prince of Seiryuu may hold it," the queen informed, placing the Crystal in Quatre's hands.
A bubble of water appeared around the crystal before it touched the blond haired man's palm. "But that doesn't make any sense. Why can only he hold the crystal. Ami-chan's our friend, not his." Mars argued. "We have known Ami-chan longer than Quatre or any of the Gundam Pilots have AND they were our enemies in the past so how-" the fiery senshi was cut off by the Queen's gaze on her.
"Because he is her counterpart. I know you do not have much time so I shall try to make this short. The five princes are the counterparts to all of the senshi. Heero or Elysion's Prince is the counterpart or is equal in power with Serenity-hime. The Prince of Genbu is the counterpart to Venus and Pluto. The Prince of Suzaku or Chang Wufei is the counterpart to Mars and Uranus. The Prince of Byakko or Duo Maxwell is the counterpart to Jupiter and Saturn. And last but not least, the Prince of Seiryuu is Mercury and Neptune's counterpart." the small brown-haired Queen explained.
"The reason the Prince of Seiryuu is the one to carry my daughter's salvation is that a prince's power is needed to complete the seal I have created. The seal that was made thousands of years ago was broken for it only was created from the power of one group, the Omega. The longer Prince Quatre holds the crystal, the more bits of energy of his are placed into it. My theory is that with the combined strengths of people from the Omega and the Alpha, the seal cannot be broken. Prince Quatre will explain everything else to you all once my daughter is safe so please no more questions." she asked of them as she saw Sailor Venus begin to open her mouth.
"I shall lend you some of my strength to help you return to Earth." Queen Umi told the group. They nodded in acknowledgement. A dull blue light surrounded the princes, their soldier, and princesses before they all disappeared.
************
"Kami it's so cold!" Hotaru told herself for the millionth time, clutching a jacket she found in the coat closet tighter against her. She rubbed her hands together for warmth but gave up. The senshi of death and destruction looked over at the ex-perfect soldier as he sat on the ground in a denim jacket, typing on his computer. 'It's -10 degrees in here and he's only wearing a denim jacket! How can he stand it?' the girl thought to herself as the two continued in silence.
The shallow breaths of Ami broke the silence. Her gasps for air made it seem like there was none in the room. The blue haired girl began to choke, causing both of her 'caretakers' to look up at her, Hotaru rushing to her side while Heero just watched. The moss green haired man looked down at his watched, 'They've been gone for more than two and a half hours. She might not make it.' An emotion he knew vaguely crept from the back of his mind. It was fear.
Then, like magic, the rest of the group appeared back in the room, the senshi sneezing all over because of the cold. Quatre stepped forward towards Ami's bedside with the flower crystal still in his hands. Somehow everyone gathered around the bed to watch with anticipation as he placed the crystal over Ami's heart. The beautiful Lily of the Valley sapphire crystal hovered over the girl's body before merging with it. The girl's coughs subsided and the ice in the room began to melt. The senshi breathed a sigh of relief, as did Ryo and Heero in their heads.
The group disbursed one by one until no one was in the room...or at least that was what everyone else thought. Heero came out of the shadows he was watching from and sat by the girl. It was odd. He was here again. He was at Ami's side again. The odd pleasure and hatred it brought had returned as well as he stared down at her. 'Why do I care if she lives or dies? Why do I care?' he questioned himself, clenching his fists.
"Why is everything so confusing?" he inquired, his voice slipping form it's monotonous disguise.
"Because you don't want to get too attached." someone answered him from the doorway.
Heero did not need to look up to know who was speaking to him, "How would you know, Wufei?" The ex-perfect soldier returned to his emotionless façade.
"Because, Yuy, I know you and I have been through the same thing." the man of Chinese origin told as he began to walk away. "Everything is confusing because you don't want to get too attached. It is not apart of your nature or how you were trained. Emotions are foreign to you but now you need to live with them."
Two hours after the crystal went into her body, Ami awoke. Heero had left an hour earlier not wanting to be caught in the room by the others or Ami when she woke up. Hotaru found her awake and told everyone else. The pilots stayed out of the room as the senshi began to suffocate the poor blue haired girl with bone-crushing hugs. Ryo sat in the corner, smiling as he watched the amusing event.
A little while later, Ami said that she wanted to rest more so the senshi and Ryo left. He smiled at her as he closed the door. Ami grinned to herself. She had survived. She had won. She hadn't given up and she won. Her head hit her pillow behind her as she tried to relax. Her moments of silence were short-lived as the door opened and closed. She met a pair of Prussian eyes that she would never forget in her lifetime.
The atmosphere became a little uneasy. Ami understood that Reilan was using Heero but she still felt somewhat uncomfortable around him. It seemed that he felt just as awkward around her but his eyes showed determination. "I'm sorry about earlier." he spoke before falling silent again.
Ami's eyes widened in shock at Heero's apology but then returned to her normal expression. "It wasn't your fault." she told him but she knew that didn't make him feel any better.
He moved closer to her bed and sat down in the chair next to it. He returned his gaze to Ami's eyes, "You have caused me discomfort every since I met you. You made me lose whatever beliefs I used to have. You have disrupted my life." His words came out in his signature tone.
This shocked Ami as well. "Well Heero I'm-" she began but the prussian-eyed soldier placed his finger over her lips. "I never said I didn't like it. I needed that disruption in my life. I needed you and I still do. I don't want to lose you." His Prussian eyes began to scan hers for a response but only found a look of shock and embarrassment.
He expected rejection. He was always rejected. Rejected as a child by his parents, rejected by Odin who took the easy way out of life, rejected even by war itself for it could never grant his wish for death. His eyes showed his fear of rejection unbeknownst to him. The blue haired genius saw this and nodded inwardly to herself.
Heero, without knowing caused those same feelings to stir up within Ami. She had to tell him. The princess of Ice took Heero's face in her hands, her eyes softening, "Heero, you have unsettled my life as well." she disclosed. She closed her eyes in order to say what she had to say, "I mean to say I feel the same way. I don't want to lose you either." Ami opened her eyes, staring into his, smiling slightly as if what she was saying was an amusing joke, "I seemed to have fallen in love with you."
Heero was now the one in shock. The only person that had appeared to love him was the late Relena Peacecraft. But even then he didn't feel like this. He didn't believe he ever felt this...happy? So he took action. He kissed her. Ami had no objection as she returned his kiss, passionately. The two blocked out the rest of the world for they had found each other and that was all that mattered. They fell in bed together for night of passion, love, and bliss for they had found themselves in each other. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ami opened her eyes, staring into his, smiling slightly as if what she was saying was an amusing joke, "I seemed to have fallen in love with you."
Heero was now the one in shock. The only person that had appeared to love him was the late Relena Peacecraft. But even then he didn't feel like this. He didn't believe he ever felt this...happy? So he took action. He kissed her. Ami had no objection as she returned his kiss, passionately. The two blocked out the rest of the world for they had found each other and that was all that mattered. They fell in bed together for night of passion, love, and bliss for they had found themselves in each other. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3001 words that don't include the author's note(s)! Yay! Well it's the longest I've written.. ever I think unless you count stuff for arguments and debates and stuff. I told you before that stuff was implied. I think I might faint of blushing right now. I think I'm glowing like a red light bulb right now. No nosebleed though. I don't do nosebleeds. ^^;;;;; Anyways I hope you like it.
Thanks ever-so-much Kaiya-san! I think my Microsoft Word program has added your name to its auto-correct thingy cause I write so many thanks to you. ^- ^ That just means that you are a proud Heero/Ami shipper! Have a banner and pin ::hands Kaiya a banner and pin with a picture of Heero and Ami kissing:: Say it loud, I'm a Heero/Ami shipper and I'm proud. ::takes a breath:: That's a lot to say in one breath. Well thanks again. Hey you other people out there, please review. I have to go get a cold cloth to put over my face now. Ja ne.
