Chapter Two
Pinku Saffiru's POV
The tall black spirals, the old clock tower, the grand halls, the intricate statues, the library housing thousands of books, and even the grand chapel and gardens. All gone. A boy no older than seventeen reduced my mother's castle to rubble. He was a SeeD as well. My mother spent her entire life hunting down all the SeeDs and here she is, slaughtered by a SeeD that lived near a hundred years before. I will take revenge for this humiliating defeat.
I turned to my mother's knight. He's tall, blonde, muscular, and extremely pissed off at the moment. "I need a knight, to take revenge." I told him steadily.
He glared at me. "Hell no! I was brainwashed into serving your mother and there isn't a chance in the seventh pit of Hell you're going to get me as well!" He growled and whirled around. "I'm heading home, where Rajin and Fujin worship me and all is right in the world!" He announced and marched over to the Ellone Machine. He growled again at me before disappearing back to his own time.
I sighed thoughtfully. Seifer was no good anyways; my mother had already used up all his potential. I sat thoughtfully on a fallen gargoyle statue. I need a knight, but where could I get one that was willing to be devoted to me and rule all of time? I looked thoughtfully at the Ellone Machine and a grin spread across my pale face. I stood quickly and rushed over to it, preparing to use it for a dimensional travel. I quickly twisted the knobs that became familiar to me when visiting my father. I set the time a thousand years before my father lived and felt the familiar whirl as the machine began to work.
~~~^~~~ Setsuna's POV
I winced, I could just feel Haruka screaming her lungs out and thrashing about their dimension, out of pure frustration.
I opened the portal and stepped out into the Time Gates. The first thing I noticed was that almost everything was back to normal. I guess all that energy, which was collected in the two different dimensions, is finally wearing out.
But that still meant that I had to go. I dreaded it. Of course I did. Who wouldn't dread the God of Time if you messed up guarding it. Great, he's going to take my post away from me. What good Time Keeper am I!?
Hotaru seemed to be reading my thoughts, "Don't worry, he won't take your position away from you. He'll just warn you not to mess up again, and to fix it before he changes his mind." She grinned darkly and looked into the different dimensions, looking for her hime. "It appears that she's not in this one." She said pointing to one. In it there was a child, he had black pointy hair, and was defeating a guy named Cell.
We continued forward. Saying which dimensions were possibilities, and which ones weren't. After passing the last dimension, which was the 1321st one, we saw a huge winding staircase, which went up, farther than the eye could see.
I rolled my eyes, thinking. Well I guess this is why not many people ever go to him. The Senshi of Destruction and I started up the stairs
~~~^~~~ Usagi's POV
To say Rinoa didn't like me is the biggest understatement of the millennium. The second she ran up to Squall in that field she was glaring me down like I was this Ultimecia person. And she has glares that rival Haruka's. So I stayed transformed as Cosmos, just to be on the safe side. Then Selphie started to sing: "Squally is alive! He kicked ass! Now he needs a cure! And we get loads of cash!" Apparently she had trouble rhyming with ass.
So here I am, in Balamb Garden, apparently it's a school that teaches students how to be mercenaries. Pretty weird, eh? Currently, I'm in the infirmary. I'm determined not to leave Squall's side until he wakes up. I feel safe, warm, around him, something that I felt with Mamoru, err Mamo-chan, except stronger, much stronger, even though he is unconscious at the moment suffering from fatal wounds. The doctor, such a kind old woman, has been keeping everybody out of the infirmary, except me. She seems to understand Squall is my link into this world and I don't mean to leave his side for even a second. Not until I know what's going on and how I got in that Time Compression.
So I've been in this infirmary for thirty-six hours. The people of this "Garden" are planning a grand party, it will start the second Squall is able to attend. Squall doesn't strike me as the party type. Or even the wallflower type. He strikes me as the rather-go-skinny-dipping-in-lava-then-go-to-a-party type.
The medicine of this time is so advanced, apparently, they blend magic into the herbs and wounds heal amazingly fast. The doctor has been using level three cure spells with Squall, she told me he should wake up any time now.
I laid my head down on the cot that Squall is lying on. I've only gotten a few hours of sleep since Squall found me in the Time Compression. I thought dimly of my Senshi and if they are okay. Poor Haruka must be ripping heads off to find out where I am. I smiled wryly to myself. Squall's soft and even breathing lulled me to close my eyes.
"Serenity." He breathed quietly.
My eyes snapped open and I turned to him. He was still sound asleep. "Squall?" I asked quietly. How could he know my name? I told him my name was Cosmos! And even if I told him my name I would have said Usagi!
A few strands of brown hair were in Squall's closed eyes. I brushed them aside slowly, still pondering how he knew my name. My real name.
~~~^~~~ Setsuna's POV
I stopped for a second to catch my breath, and I looked up at the huge doorway in front of us, bigger than my time gate. Sailor Saturn walked up to the doors and opened them. I took another deep breath and walked inside with her.
"Welcome, Sailor Saturn, and Sailor Pluto," a voice inside the darkness spoke. "I know exactly what you came here for, both of you. And if you don't mind, child, if I deal with Sailor Pluto's problem first."
Saturn nodded her head, "Of course not, father."
"Sailor Pluto, state your problem."
"Well, sir, it seems that two huge collections of energies from two dimensions came at the exact same time, and it created a time compression, taking the two who made the energy into it," I waited for his nod before I continued. "Just a little while after though, it let up, and now we cannot find the two with the powers."
"Sailor Pluto, state their names."
I nodded and a picture of Princess Serenity's face appeared, "From dimension 1, Lunarian Royalty, Code Number 35, Princess Serenity," the entity in the darkness gasped. A picture then of Squall came onto the scene, next to Serenity's. "And from dimension 594, Balamb, Code Number 841545, Squall Leonheart."
"A mercenary and a princess. And how could you let this happen?"
"I'm very sorry sir, but there was nothing I could do to prevent it," I lied. Great, I hope he doesn't realize that I wasn't watching that dimension.
"Very well then, Sailor Pluto. Leave my hall and go back to finding our Lunarian Princess. Saturn, a word?"
I sighed in relief and walked back down the winding staircase.
~~~^~~~ Haruka's POV
I growled. Stupid Pluto. That son of a bitch! Leaving us here to ponder the whereabouts of our princess!
How dare she!
"Let's go, there's no use in searching for her," Michiru stated. I winced, my beloved Michi-koi too!?
"Rei-chan, Mina-chan, and I will go back to the temple," Ami notified, "Where the three of us will try to figure out her whereabouts with our technology and fire reading."
I nodded, we had to do something than just sit around here! "And so Michi-koi, Mako-chan, and I will search around the town, finding clues."
The others agreed and I watched as Rei, Minako, and Ami went the opposite way as Michiru, Makoto, and I.
"Ok, Mako-chan, you head for the city! Ruka-koi will scout around the outsides of Tokyo with her car! And I will-" my Michi-koi was cut off by the usual scream. We nodded and ran towards the park, where strangely, everything happens!
"URANUS CRYSTAL POWER!" I stuck out my henshin wand.
"NEPTUNE CRYSTAL POWER!" Michi-koi pulled hers out.
"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!" Mako-chan brought hers into the air.
"MAKE UP!" we screamed together.
I rolled my eyes as the sand overflowed my body. I noticed my leotard was already on, good! I brought my hand up to my hair, and flicked it partially, and the rest of my outfit came. I turned around and stuck out my left hand, my right staying at my hip.
I watched as my Michi-koi was flooded with water, and electricity sparkled around Mako-chan.
~~~^~~~ Squall's POV
I woke up with a headache the size of Eden. Apparently, Griever was trying to make room for himself in my mind, and it was painful. Maybe I have too many GFs in my mind. Nah. Or maybe it was that dream that is giving me such a headache. It was very weird, and I don't even remember much now. I do remember the name Serenity. Who she is, I haven't the slightest idea. I think Hyne was in my dream as well. Something about Hyne telling me about… about… something. Something about Serenity. I put my hand over my head so I was in my classic thinking pose. Damn my short, GF eaten, memory span.
I heard a soft sigh next to me and opened my eyes curiously. Probably Rinoa telling me how scared she was or how unfeeling I am-Nope. Cosmos. She seemed to have felt my eyes on her and she looked up at me. She smiled in relief.
"Good Morning." She greeted.
I sat up stiffly. "How long have I been out?" I asked.
"Thrity-seven hours." She replied.
"Damn." I felt my chest; my wounds were healed and faded.
"Squall..." Cosmos began hesitantly.
"...Yes?" I asked curiously.
"While you were sleeping... you said, Serenity, who is she?" She asked carefully.
I looked her in the eye. She seemed to be hiding something and I could feel that how I replied would have to be said carefully.
"A dream. I don't remember any of it, except the name Serenity. And Hyne. She's the first sorceress. She was telling me something about Serenity. Something important. But I don't remember." I shook my head sadly and asked my GFs in they remembered my dream. They replied no, they were trying to make room for Griever. Leave it to me to try and stuff the most powerful GF in my mind.
"Oh." She seemed relieved and disappointed all at once.
"Squall, good to see you up." Dr. Kadowaski came into the small cubical where my cot was.
I nodded a greeting. "Am I okay?" I asked, flexing my legs.
She smiled down on me. "Always are. Congratulations Squall, you save the world, get mortally wounded, get lost in time, and recover from it all in a day and a half. I must tell you, Miss Cosmos here never left your side for a second." I looked over at Cosmos. She blushed lightly. "Now that you're up, Cid will want to give you an award. He's also throwing a gigantic party in your and the others honor."
I sighed. A party. Hyne! I just saved everyone's ass! I just want to go to sleep for a week straight! I nodded to Dr. Kadowaski and she walked out of the small cubicle. I then turned to Cosmos. Cosmos... doesn't that mean universe? Interesting name. Then again, my name is Squall.
"Want to attend a party with me?" I asked in a pleading tone, which, of course, didn't sound any different then my normal tone.
Cosmos seemed to pick up my tone. She raised an eyebrow at me. "Aren't parties supposed to be fun? You make it sound like swimming in a land fill." She smiled at me.
Wow.
Her smile is worse than a brain-freeze. But better. Like a Mountain Dew Slurpie brain-freeze. "You've never been to a SeeD party then." I commented dryly.
She giggled lightly, sounding like silver bells. Oh Hyne, if I don't stop thinking like this I might start singing like a pitiful, little, lovelorn fool.
"Do you think you can stand?" She asked, concern showing in her eyes.
I set my feet on the floor and sat up. I felt faint and nauseous, like I'd just been put through a blender. I slowly stood to my feet and Cosmos looked ready to assist me when I held up a hand. "I'm feeling good."
She looked disbelieving. "Are you sure?"
I nodded. "I've felt worse. Ultimecia was no worse than a bad day with Seifer." I smiled dryly to myself. Hyne, I miss that malicious bastard.
"Seifer?" She asked curiously.
"Sparring partner and rival." I explained. She nodded.
I took an unsteady step and the pounding in my head heightened from a dull roar to a stampede of Lunar Cry monsters.
"Still doing okay?" She asked watching me.
"Still good." I nodded and took a few more steps towards the door. A few more steps and I was out into the hallway, with Cosmos inches from my side.
"SQUALL! DUDE! You're okay!" Zell bounced up like he drank too many jolts again.
"Hey Zell." I greeted, pressing a hand to my forehead to keep my brain from jumping out of my head.
"You look like shit. Cid is planning this killer party, tonight, in your honor! Well, ours too, since you, err we, kicked Ulty's ass!" He grinned.
"Thanks Zell, all I want right now is a shower."
Zell sniffed the air and made a face of disgust. "Yeah, definitely a shower first!"
"SQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY!" I winced as HER voice pierced the air and her footsteps echoed down the hall. I only tolerate Selphie calling me Squally because, well, she's Selphie. But Rinoa? I shuddered. She leaped onto me in glee and glared in hatred at Cosmos. Rinoa jealous? GOOD! Wait, not good, this could cause her to redouble her efforts to 'snare' me. Crap.
~~~^~~~ Haruka's POV
I ran with Jupiter and Neptune to where we heard the screams. Being the Senshi of Wind, I sprinted ahead of them and darted through the mob of crazed lunatics running from the danger.
My eyes widened when I reached my destination, "What the hell!?"
By the time Neptune and Jupiter came, I got a good look at the enemy. It was, by far, the most disturbing one of all. After the yaoi ones, the yuri didn't bother her, being one herself. But now back to the point. It growled and showed its massive teeth to her, and she paled knowing she was going up against an amazing foe. The Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Jupiter growled and brought her hand back, sparkling with electricity and brought it forward just as she was slammed into by the dinosaur's tail. She flew back and landed in the lake. The second her hand hit the water everything wet within it was immediately electrocuted, including herself.
I winced inwardly and watched as my Michi-koi, as Neptune, sent a blast at the thing. Hopefully knocking some pain into it. Our foe growled in anger and swung its tail around, knocking her into a park bench. She hit dead center and broke the wooden bench as if she were a power breaker.
~~~^~~~ Mamoru's POV
What the Hell happened? And why do I feel like I drank a whole bottle of Vodka? I rubbed why eyes slowly and sat up. Okay. I was on a plane... and then... something happened... "Man, I need a Tylenol." I mumbled and stretched again, the pounding only worsened.
"Cure."
A bright, bluish white light surrounded me and my headache disappeared. My eyes widened as I saw a woman standing above me, hands on hips, and smiling... a smile that sent my senses on full alert. "Who the Hell are you? And where am I?"
"No thank you?" Her impossible red lips pouted. "You are in my father's lair. Well, what will be his Tokyo lair in a thousand years." Her eyes narrowed. "And I am Pinku Saffiru, daughter of Ultimecia and Prince of Nemesis, Demando."
"D-Demando?" My eyes widened and I shot up from the tattered mattress I had been laying on. "What? Where is he?" I looked around for the silver haired prince that tried to steal my ticket to King of the World.
"Silly boy, he isn't even born yet." She laughed and I shuddered at the sound.
My eyes narrowed. "Then how are you here?"
"What?" She asked innocently. "Never heard of time travel? I believe you have employed this tactic before, going to the future, seeing your future position... a position that was so grand that you went back to that whiny, annoying, little brat you call a girlfriend." She scorned Usagi's name with venom that surprised me.
"Holding a grudge?" I asked casually.
She 'humphed' and narrowed her eyes. "That can be discussed later. Right now, I have a proposition for you."
"A proposition?" Mamoru asked interested.

To Be Continued... (liz-chan: too bad we can't make the words appear like they do in Outlaw Star, that always amused me)

Chapter Two
Pinku Saffiru's POV
The tall black spirals, the old clock tower, the grand halls, the intricate statues, the library housing thousands of books, and even the grand chapel and gardens. All gone.

What the Hell happened? And why do I feel like I drank a whole bottle of Vodka? I rubbed why eyes slowly and sat up. Okay. I was on a plane... and then... something happened... "Man, I need a Tylenol." I mumbled and stretched again, the pounding only worsened.
"Cure."
A bright, bluish white light surrounded me and my headache disappeared. My eyes widened as I saw a woman standing above me, hands on hips, and smiling... a smile that sent my senses on full alert. "Who the Hell are you? And where am I?"
"No thank you?" Her impossible red lips pouted. "You are in my father's lair. Well, what will be his Tokyo lair in a thousand years." Her eyes narrowed. "And I am Pinku Saffiru, daughter of Ultimecia and Prince of Nemesis, Demando."
"D-Demando?" My eyes widened and I shot up from the tattered mattress I had been laying on. "What? Where is he?" I looked around for the silver haired prince that tried to steal my ticket to King of the World.
"Silly boy, he isn't even born yet." She laughed and I shuddered at the sound.
My eyes narrowed. "Then how are you here?"
"What?" She asked innocently. "Never heard of time travel? I believe you have employed this tactic before, going to the future, seeing your future position... a position that was so grand that you went back to that whiny, annoying, little brat you call a girlfriend." She scorned Usagi's name with venom that surprised me.
"Holding a grudge?" I asked casually.
She 'humphed' and narrowed her eyes. "That can be discussed later. Right now, I have a proposition for you."
"A proposition?" Mamoru asked interested.
