DISCLAIMER:
Sailor Moon is not mine.
---------------------
The next day Ami awoke with a clear mind and focus.
As she stood under the spray of the shower, she recalled how her dreams during the night had shown her past pieces of how she had been.
And in each of them she had felt a power which was like coming home on a rainy night to find a warm fire and a hot cup of cocoa topped with marshmallows.
As she stood in front of the mirror towelling herself dry, she flushed as she remembered the times when her fantasies had taken her to the heights of pleasure and frowned.
'Were they really fantasies or were they real? Did those times actually happen?' as she remembered with clarity the way she had felt when the four had touched and caressed her body.
Shrugging she said it was not of importance and opened her closet door that she had always found laden with clothes that fit her perfectly.
It had been her past wardrobe as the queen and had been obviously added to during the years of her absence by her league.
Smiling to herself she picked out an outfit that normally before she had got there she would not have dared to try on.
It was an all black sleeveless tunic that fell almost snugly to her knees and was embroidered with silver trimming around the edges and accentuated her blue hair and eyes. The material of it however allowed for easy movement, something, which was needed with her physical training.
Putting on black combat boots with silver laces and matching leather arm guards for her training, when she looked at herself once again in the mirror she was awe struck by how much the outfit suited her and the smug smile the mirror gave back caused her to laugh softly.
'Imagine what Serena and the others would say if they saw me in this get up'
Thinking that, she wondered how the scouts were coping in her absence as she placed a choker with a sapphire the colour of her eyes for its centre gem around her neck.
'I miss them but not as much as I thought I would have,' she walked through the doors of her room and headed towards the training room, her body now conditioned to ignore any hunger pains from missing breakfast.
'I wonder what they are up to and I pray that they are ok,' as she thought of the fun she had once had as the blue scout with her counterparts.
As the door for the training room opened, however she realised her mistake as Zoicite looked at her disgustedly and stormed towards her.
'If you are going to be thinking that loudly about your friends, you'll be no good for concentration and I don't have time to waste holding your hand as you take a trip down memory lane.'
Hearing his thoughts so loudly it registered in her mind that she had not blocked hers as she had thought of the scouts and knew that each of the guys had heard her as plain as day.
Knowing instinctively this had caused them hurt, she at first made to move out of the way when Zoicite threw away the weapon he had been holding onto the floor and moved to brush past her at the door.
However she reached out a hand and placed it on his chest effectively stopping him, a movement which shocked both him and Kunzite who had also been awaiting her arrival in the room but remained sitting on the floor while Zoicite walked out.
"Where do you think you are going?" Ami said softly looking up at Zoicite.
"Some place more peaceful," he remarked cuttingly "It's so loud in here I can't hear myself think."
Once upon a time Ami would have let him walk out but gazed at him coldly.
"Funny I don't remember giving you permission to go or you asking," saying this she pushed him back into the room her cold anger causing the doors to slam securely shut behind her.
"We have work to do and I don't have time to waste coddling to your insecurities for me thinking of my friends because I will not apologise for it. Now pick up that sai and let me see what you've got and it had better be more than what you gave me yesterday. I'm sick and tired of your shit."
Holding her hand out one of the many swords that adorned the walls flew into it and twirling it as if she was indeed its true master she sent another weapon telekinetically to Kunzite who caught it quickly.
'Fight me' she ordered loudly in their heads 'And hold nothing back, because I won't' she smiled smugly.
Launching himself off the floor Kunzite grinned 'It's about time' as Zoicite captured himself from his former shock and both launched an attack.
Feeling their moves before they even made them Ami smiled and launched her counter attack saying to herself 'Welcome back Amelia'
--------
"Come on Mars focus," Sailor Moon implored her have to find her "This place is giving me the creeps."
"It's coming" Mars opened her violet eyes and pointed down the alley. "She was here but this is where the trail ends," the red scout said sadly.
"Well she couldn't have just disappeared into thin air could she?," Jupieter said angrily as she kicked around the trash at the back of the alley where Ami had been stabbed and rescued.
"Yeah she's not Houdini" Venus said, "If only we could use the link to find her"
"It's never been used in that way but what other choice do we have," said their leader and as they nodded they came together and joined hands.
"Concentrate on finding her. Focus scouts we have to find Mercury."
Standing together their different energies flowed over them causing them to travel through time and space, their main goal tracking down their elusive blue scout.
Opening their eyes they gasped as they found themselves down a dark hallway within a castle.
"This is it" Mars murmured and as all looked at her "The dream I had, the one that I told you guys about before Mercury went missing."
"So what do we do now?" Sailor Moon asked Mars.
"You are our leader, you tell me," Mars said angrily.
"I only meant because you had the dream and could probably remember it better than we could," Sailor Moon said so piteously her mouth trembled as she tried not to cry.
"You need to grow up do you know that!" Mars shouted exasperatedly and Jupiter stepped in and shouted right back at Mars "And you need to control your temper"
The argument which ensued caused Sailor Moon to start bawling and as Venus looked from one to the other she had no idea how to make them stop knowing it was their calm Mercury who tempered this arguments and consoled their leader's crying fits.
"Sailor Mercury where are you?" Venus shouted at the top of her lungs.
The other three scouts stopped their actions and looked incredulously as the gold scout continued to shout at the top of her lungs causing echoes to be heard throughout the castle.
"Venus! What do you think you are doing" whispered Jupiter.
"What does it sound like I'm doing? At least I don't have the time to sit around either yelling or crying," Venus said pointedly.
"Mars fire bird ignite!" The hallway became illuminated with the fire cast from Mars' power and the four scouts started to make their way down the hallway towards their friend hopefully.
----------
'What was that sound?' Ami asked before instinctively guessing it was the scouts, her fight stance dropping towards Zoictie as she focused on it.
'Intruders' Zoicite snarled before phasing out to deal with them before Ami could stop him.
Sighing she mumbled to herself to work on his patience and looked at Kunzite who waited for her order.
'Let's go' she watched as he nodded and they both phased out to where Ami sensed Endymion was already talking to the scouts and urged him not to hurt them but to make them leave.
As she arrived she saw the blast of Mars' fire towards Endymion which passed through him as he told them to go.
She felt the others behind her and knew this was the ultimate test.
She would have to choose between the scouts and her followers and even though it would cut through her to the bone to leave either, she had no doubts as to what she had to do.
Feeling Jupiter's anger boiling up, Ami knew she had to put a stop to this because while Endymion and Nephrite would not lose their patience so easily, the other three would and harm could be done to the scouts who were threatening not themselves but the resolve of her return as their Queen.
She whispered words and Endymion took his place one step behind her on her left, Nephrite her right and Kunzite and Jadeite one step behind them while Zoicite brought up the rear.
Stepping forward more confidently than she felt she caused the lights of the torches to light with every step she took towards the scouts.
As she reached them a collective gasp could be heard.
"Mer...Mercury?" Serena gasped as she took in Ami's calm face.
"No I'm no longer the blue scout," Ami said, registering the shock on their faces as she uttered the words.
"Ami what do you mean?" Serena let her name slip knowing somehow that no secrets were hidden in this place.
"It means that you have wasted your time and need to go back from whence you came," said Jaedite.
"Excuse me but I do believe she was talking to Ami not to you," said Lita scornfully her anger continually rising.
"And what are you then, her spokesperson?" Jaedite countered.
"Ami I don't know what they have done to you but it's ok we can help you," Serena said taking out her crystal calling forth her power to heal and directing the blast towards her blue haired friend who did not budge but let the power float over her.
As everyone turned to look at her expectantly Ami watched the last sparkle of Serena's magic float away before looking up at her and grinning coldly "Sorry old friend, you can't heal what is not sick."
Turning away from them she started to walk away and said "Go back home you guys and forget you ever knew me."
"Ami no!!" With this cry Raye launched herself at Ami's retreating back but was quickly blocked and tossed away by Kunzite.
"Jupiter thunder dragon!!" Lita shouted and as her power headed straight towards Nephrite, she smiled knowing he would have no time to dodge it.
But he had no intentions of dodging it. Watching it come towards him, they all watched as he slapped it away causing it to hit onto the castle wall harmlessly.
As she watched them parry she knew it would not be long before too got serious and when it did the only ones that would be hurt would be the scouts.
'Enough!' she sent the message to the guys who immediately stopped their fights with the scouts and backed off while she came forward.
Ami knew what was required of her. There was no way the scouts would let her go so easily and there was no way she could let down the guys and her people.
The opportunity presented itself to her when Mina tossed her wand at her.
Instinctively reaching out to grab it, Ami let her fingers trail over the insignia once more like a lost friend suddenly found.
The scouts breathed a sigh of great relief as Ami caressed the wand in her hand while the guys looked at each other anxiously.
As she caught her reflection in the wand however, Ami saw as her eyes turned silver and the wand started to melt in her hand before she dropped it to the ground where it crumpled into gold and silver dust.
Looking at her in horror, the scouts back off "What did you do that for?" Mina shrieked
Eyes hard Ami stated "Sailor Mercury is dead and so is Ami."
As they shook their heads in bewilderment Raye looked to the girl in front of her radiating with pure power.
"Who are you?" she asked.
Smiling slightly, Ami gazed back at her "I am Queen Amelia."
