Well, this is finally part 9! I never thought that this story
would go on that long! Wow--! Well, I'll try and get this done over the
Christmas holidays. I know that I promised a Christmas ficlett, but
"Duck and Cover" just won't be done in time...actually, by the time
that anyone is reading this, it will be 2003 and hopefully D&C will be
posted! That is my priority right now. I'm trying to finish up TBT but,
when I'm not inspired, things are hard to write, and then I get people
sending me reviews and e-mails with questions about 'why did this thing
happen?' and 'why did this person react this way' to incert 'any given
situation?'
So I've decided to take my time on the next few parts. I'm hoping that
this fic will be finished with part 10, but as you all know by now, I
can never leave well enough alone, and so it will probablly longer! ^^;
Turn Back Time
Part: 9
Rating: PG
By Bunny-chan19 (actually I'm 20 now! ^^)
"Funny, Luna," Mars said with a frown, but Mercury was nodding
her head as if she agreed with her! "What are you nodding for, Mercury,
and what was that you said before 'you're not who we think you are'?"
Serena glanced between the two senshi and then back to Luna. It
was really strange to be talking to Human-Luna rather then Cat-Luna.
And Artimes and...what was her name again?...Diana? She had always
known that the two cats had had a thing for each other, but this? She
felt dizzy.
Shaking her head, Serena took a deep breath and stepped forward
to speak,
"Luna? Am I really not the princess?"
The young woman looked her up and down, her ruby eyes deep in
consentration. After a few intense moments, they widened and she stepped
back with a soft gasp. Serena blinked at her, casting curious glances at
her friends. Luna suddenly turned and fled from the group, running quickly
toward the palace, her purple hair rippling out behind her.
Serena tuned a questioning gaze to Mercury, "What's going on?
Where is she going?"
The senshi all stared at Luna's retreating back, not daring to
speak, silence hung so heavy in the air that you could cut it withs a
knife. Suddenly there was a commotion at the far end of the fountains
and Luna came sprinting back, another women in her presence. However,
this women was wearing a familiar sailorfuku, black with red bows and
was carrying a tall silver staff with a sparkling garnet ball gleaming
in the coming darkness of night as she ran.
The first words out of her mouth were far from reassuring to
the ears of one 'meatball-headed' blond, as she reached the group.
Taking one look at Serena's face, staring deeply into her eyes, as Luna
had done, the sensei's own red eyes looked troubled. She licked her
lips, and held her staff tighter as she mumbled to herself,
"Not good...oh so not good!", then addressed the group, "How
did this happen?! Do you realize what you've done? What you could do to
the future? How did -she- get here? Where's the Princess?"
"Pluto, take a chill pill...we didn't do anything...we figured
that as the resident time manipulator, -you- might be able to tell -us-
something!" Mars shot back.
Oh, so this was the legendry Pluto? Serena recalled some vauge
memory about the time solider from a scrap of a dream thought long
since forgotten.
"Great...just -great-!" Pluto muttered more to herself then for
the benifit of the others, she was so distraught that she was repeating
words! Didn't they realize that if -this- form of Serenity was -here-,
on the Moon, in the past, then the form that should presently be with
them was currently in a different time, i.e. Tokyo year 2002, with the
other forms of the royal guard, and wouldn't be there for the impending
attack from Earth which was to come...THAT NIGHT!
"Ok, just stay calm everyone. I promise that I can fix this!"
I hope... she added silently to herself.
Time-hopping, while fun, could also be very dangerous when she
wanted to bring others with her. She now had the problem of only a
small loop with which she had to set straight whatever the scatter
brained Princess had done, causing her and her alter ego to switch time
zones!
Doing some quick calculations, the time senshi realized that
if she didn't have the two girls switched back by exactly 11:17 p.m.
that night, the whole world as they presently knew it could be lost.
The Princess, the -real- Princess, was the key to avoiding the coming
catastrophy, but the one whom she had to work with right now didn't
even realize that she was at the Moon Palace, her previous home!
Chanting some words in an accient tongue, a swirling cloud
appeared in front her, causing her long green hair to whip around
her face. The other senshi stpped back, and Serena simply stared,
wide eyed in fear and facination. A second later Pluto lept high
into the air and summersaulted into the thick smoke, disappearing.
* * * * *
With a flash of purple light, the cloud opened up about 6
feet in the air, in the cramped hallway of one Darien Shields' crowded
apartment. The purple light was brighter than the dim hall light, and
Setsuna's shadow rose dramatically from the hall, creeping through the
doorway of the young man's bedroom.
Darien raised his head as the light appeared, and another woman
stepped into his already crowed room. She looked just like the onthers,
decked out in a similar sailor-type uniform. He had know sailormoon and
her senshi for only a few months, as it were, and seeing that they were
actually Serena and her supposedly scatterbrained friends, well expect
for the brilliant Ami, was quite a shock. Now, as he looked toward the
new arrivel, he noticed that the insaine motercylist and her friend
were also in navey and aqua sailor fukus! The women in his doorway also
wore a black fuku.
Darien blinked a couple of times, shock and not a small amount
of confusion evident in his eyes. Just how many of these sailor-clad
warriors were there? For the poor college student, nearly every female
that he had had contact with lately had turned out to be a fighter for
justice! Well, his meatball head had turned out to be a princess, bu
still...
Pluto stepped forward and took in the scene. The young prince
of the past and future knelt on the floor cradling her Princess in his
lap. She took a deep breath and directed an intense gaze at Darien.
"Tuxedo Mask?" she asked calmly, and the young man seemed to
break out of the trance the turn of events had instilled in him. Well,
she didn't blame him, this was a lot for one person to absorb in less
than an hour. He cleared his throat and sent a leveled look back at her,
already playing the part of the dignified royal, even without knowing
why.
"I am, and you are?" His voice was chilling, that of someone who
was prepared to fight and protect; that of someone who did not trust her.
Pluto smuthored a small smile at his tough antics, " Tuxedo
Mask, I am Sailor Pluto, and these are my fellow warriors: Sailors
Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus. They fight with me
to protect the Princess." She paused a moment to let the information
sink in.
"Sailor Moon..." the young man murmered, glancing down at the
young girl in his lap, "You forgot Sailor Moon."
"Endy-- Tuxedo Mask, I didn't forget her. You, yourself, know
who she is."
Darien paused as well, and stared down at the serene face
of his meatball head. Her skin was pale, and her usually expressive,
large blue eyes were closed, as if in peaceful slumber, the dark
lashes laying gently against her face. Her rosebud shaped lips were
parted slightly, and she breathed deeply, her chest rising and falling
evenly. She looked for all the world like a sleeping angel...except for
the glowing mark on her forehead, which gleamed all the more brightly
in the suddenly darkened room. He had faught along side her for many
battles, always with a fierce desire to make sure that she escaped
without ingury, to protect her and--
But he didn't understand why! Why?! Why was he so drawn to
be with her? She was a klutzy fighter, and more of a crybaby then a
dignified warrior; always needing to be rescued! He had often wondered
why the senshi had allowed her to remain the head of the group. But,
when he thought about it, she did always come through for them in the
end, and there was something in her eyes that convinced him that her
heart was pure and good.
Pluto watched the conflicting emotions as they raged, like a
storm, in the young man's eyes. Then he lifted his head to once again
speak to her.
"She is my Princess, the one whom I have been searching for."
"You are correct, Endymion." the time senshi replied, and as
the statement rang in his ears, the tuxedo he wore faded away, and in a
flash of light Darien looked down to find himself in polished black
armar, complete with a flowing red-lined, black silk cape and long
sword strapped to his waist.
The sensehi fianlly opened their eyes and turned to line up in
two rows to the right of him. Mercury, Venus and Mars stood in the
front, and Jupiter, Neptune and Uransu stood behind them. Pluto
remained standing in the doorway in front of him. The 6 other warriors
all eyed him with a new kind of awe and respect. Their princess had
been found, and her lover from Earth, Prince Endymoin, as well.
However, the two new senshi, Uranus and Neptune, looked
uncomfortable. They both wondered why Plut was there. The time senshi
rarely left her post at the gates of time. To do so could have dire
conciquences. Something must have happened. This time of joy for the
inner senshi, in finally discovering their 'lost' princess, was
overlaid with a sense of forboding.
Uranus stepped forward, bowed slightly to Endymoin, although her
eyes betrayed the slightest fraction of disbelief, and then turned to
address Pluto,
"Pluto, what happened? Why are you here?"
This was something that the time senshi did not want to
have to explain, but explain she did, grimly, in a few words as
possible.
"That girl is not the one that you senshi have loved and
protected for the past half a year. She is the Moon Princess. Somehow
she and Serena, her present self, were switched in time."
"So Meatball-head is now..." Mars began, and Pluto nodded as
she finished the phrase,
"1000 years in the past and in a heck of a lot of trouble if you
7 don't join her in," At this Pluto glanced at the delicate gold
pocket watch that she had cliped to the bow at her waist, "30 minutes."
It was one thing to know in advance about an attack on a
kingdom that you're sworne to protect, but it was a royal pain in
the arse not to be allowed to interfear and prevent it from coming.
The only way Pluto could help now was to get the seven people crammed
into the Prince's apartment back to the past in time to save the present
and perserve the future.
A soft sign drew the attention of everyone in the room as the
aforementtioned Moon Princess blinked her eyes open and struggled to
sit up.
Serenity knew instantly that eveyone knew who she was now. There
were no more secrets, especially now that Pluto was here. Pluto?!
Maybe now she could go home! Rising gracefully to her feet, her white
skirt and pink top looking regal even in their simplicity, her shiney
blond ponytails hanging down her back, and her cresent moon glowing
softly in the middle of her forehead.
"Ugh...M-my people need me..." was all she said, but it was
enough, all eyes were now upon her. Serenity could feel something akin
to dread in the farthethest reaches of her heart. She had to get home.
She didn't know why, but she knew that if she didn't make it back in
time...
Pluto's eyes flickered over the small group and suddenly Sailor
Venus stepped forward and began barking commands that would cow a seasoned
army general.
"Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, power up!!"
Without question the three girls threw their right hands into the
air and shouted out their planet powers:
"Mars Power--"
"Mercury Power--"
"Jupiter Power--"
Their fearless 'self-proclaimed' leader then turned toward the
3 outer senshi,
"Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, power up!!" and they followed the actions
of the previous senshi.
"Uranus Power--"
"Neptune Power--"
"Pluto Power--"
"Venus Power--"
"MAKE-UP!" came the resounding cry of seven heated up warriors.
Beams of light shot our of their tiaras and into the air.
Venus joined them and presently there was a circle of women
surrounding the petite Princess, and the tall Prince who stood with the
small girl pressed against his chest, his arms wrapped around her back.
There was an arch of sorts over their heads from the out-streached
hands of the sailors, and a multitude of rainbow colored lights was
raining down like sparks from a birthday cake sparkler, from a
crackling ball of white-hot power in the center of their gloved hands.
All other light in the room seemed to fade away, leaving only the
glowing orb that they had created.
Now Serenity pushed back from Darien's chest, hardly aware that
the man who held her close was now dressed like the lost lover she had
previously thought him to be, and threw her own hand into the air, her
head falling back as she cried out,
"MOON CRYSTAL POWER!" the phrase that only her mother had
been allowed to use because of it's immense power, came with a dignified
command, and suddenly a beam of light exploded from her cresent moon!!
Serenity cried out in pain and collapsed backwards into Darien's waiting
arms, her body doubled over, yet positioning her head so that the beam of
power had a direct line to the middle of the bottom of the glowing ball.
Upon contact the power ball exploded and everything the senshi
and the royals could see turned white. There was a sensation of being
in a fairground ride that was going too fast, yet there was nothing
that any one of them could do to slow the movement down or to move from
their postions. They zoomed forward, colours wizzing by inin blurs,
making anyone who dared to look at them dizzy near to a point of collaps--
And then they stopped.
As the group blinked its collective eyes and the senshi all
dropped their arms, exausted from forcing such a great ammount of power
through them, Darien, his arms still around Serenity, turned searingly
cold, panic tinged eyes upon Pluto.
"Well, did it work? Are we in this past?"
It wasn't Pluto who answered him though.
"Who the hell are you?" came a distictly feminine voice, its
owner following quickly behind.
* * * * *
Well, that's it for part 9! Wow...it seems to take me longer
and longer to get these parts out each time! So sorry. I do enjoy writ-
ing them, it's just that I have such little time to do it in! Well, I
only have abou 6 weeks of school left now. I hope to finish chapter 10
before that's up! Wow...can you belive that it's been a year and a half
since I first started this story? It was in the beginning of my fresh-
man year at college and now I'm nearly done my second year! I hope that
I get a couple more reviews on this part...the plot is building...the
climax is coming to a fanfic sight near you soon! ^-^
