Author's notes:
Konnichi WA Minna Chan! To answer some questions, Are Rei and Mamoru going out? Answer is a mystery at this time, for the readers anyways. Muaahaahaahaa! And Meri Chan! Thanks for reviewing my story! Yes, you definitely need to come and watch my Sailor Moon Stars DVD's. Hehe. It would explain a lot on my other story for you.
Also, yes I realize I make mistakes in grammar and spelling. SO I greatly appreciate those who could notify me if they catch big mistakes I somehow missed. I had a friend who used to edit them but she won't anymore. So…go figure.
Anyhow. I know this story may seem confusing, but it will all fall together as it goes along, so please bear with me.
On another note, I realize some of you may not know who the Sailor Star Lights are! Right? Well, I would love to give you a short brief on them, but you have to want it. If enough people want a short brief on the subject, ask, and ill put it in my next author's notes.
A short who is who list. (Incase some people need to know)
Sailor Venus Minako Sailor Uranus Haruka Sailor Star fighter Seiya
Sailor Mars Rei Sailor Neptune Michiru Sailor Star Healer Yaten
Sailor Jupiter Mokato Sailor Pluto Setsuna Sailor Star Maker Taiki
Sailor Mercury Amy Sailor Saturn Hotaru Mamoru Tuxedo Mask
Ok. So let the Story continue!
PS: I need some Info on Sailor Venus. What I need is info on does she have a staff in the manga. I know on the back of one of the Mangas it shows her, along with the four negaverse Generals (Endymion's Generals), in a pose. And she's holding a staff. Anyone have any Info on that? If so, I would be grateful for the info. Thanks!
DISCLAIMER: Uug. Don't own it…(tear-tear) why must I always have to say that horrible line. Why does the world torture me like this. Falls over in fetal position, sucking her thumb like a baby, and she lies there for the remainder of the Fanfic.
CHANGES THROUGH TIME
Chapter 2
MYSTERIES DOUBLE
The group of Senshi, all but Haruka, gasped at the wondrous sight of the marvelous, skillfully crafted sword.
Setsuna's eyes widened. "She's here!"
A young girl walked through the dark shadows of the deserted street, peering around to make sure she wasn't followed. Hearing a noise here and there she twirled around with fret.
Her breath came in deep puffs, and her face was hot and a sticky from perspiration. She wiped beads of sweat from her forehead and turned into a side alley and behind a tall worn building. She was definitely in a bad neighborhood, but she came here for a reason. "Bad slave…. escaping like that! You better have not done anything you will regret!" Spoke a voice.
Her eyebrow furrowed in sudden irritation, and then she pulled a round stone from her pocket. Holding the round stone in the palm of her hand she starred into its depths, observing the circling motion of a dark liquid substance on the inside. "I…I don't want to do this." She mumbled quietly to the unknown presence. A dark presence loomed above her, watching her every move.
"YOU have no choice slave! Now…. do it as you were told. No tricks!"
Her fist clenched around the stone tightly, to the point were her knuckles tinted white. She closed her eyes, as tears began to trickle down her face.
The silence spoke once again, but in frustration. "Hurry Up Slave!" She took a long deep breath and there after, the scene seemed to move in slow motion. Her eyes opened slowly to stare at her actions, as her bleach white knuckles released and her hand unclenched. Her cold, pale white hand opened completely, and the round stone fell from her grasp and plummeted to the concrete ground below. With one last yelp and whimper, she held her hand up in one swift motion, a dark tunnel appearing above her and she rose into the air to meet it. She moved through the portal gracefully, all before the stone even hit the ground.
She, the dark presence, and the portal vanished out of sight completely just as the small stone made its Impact. And what an Impact it was.
The Senshi turned to Setsuna as she spoke those words. "Whose here?" Seiya asked quizzically.
Setsuna gave anyone who dare meet her gaze an icy stare. She would not reveal anything to them. As she was not quite sure what would happen her self. She only had a theory, as this Time Period had never presented itself to her before. She suddenly sensed something and spun around quickly, eyes widened as an ear-piercing detonation cut through the night's deadly silence. It was unlike any explosion she had heard before. It wasn't a low thunderous tone, or a booming type of noise. It was as if it were a scream, but a thousand fold the noise level any human could muster. Bright lights lit up the night sky, as fire from the blast could be seen far off in the distance.
Every single one of the Senshi covered his or her own ears in physical AND mental pain while tumbling to their knees.
Hotaru's eyes watered and shot back and forth wildly in pain. She knew the whole town must be down on their knees also. She shook with anxiety. 'I…must…reach it!' She thought. ' I must…' "TRANSFORM!" The wind picked up, filled with a strange aurora and amethyst lights swirled around her, rapping around every fiber of her body. Without so much as a single transformation phrase, in a flash of light Sailor Saturn stood there in full Sailor Senshi Fuku, Silence glaive grasped tightly in one hand. She held it up High and shouted the phrase "SILENCE WALL!" Then slammed the end of her glaive into the ground. A silver mist shot out, creating a dome like shield around all the Senshi. Then the Silver mist turned to an invisible protective wall, blocking out most of the horrid sound, leaving only a low humming sound for them to hear.
Most of the Senshi were now aware that they were being protected from the sound now, and were on there feet within minutes. Haruka peered out of the invisible barrier watching as a couple of people managed to run by, holding there ears in pain before they dropped to the ground like flies. "We have to DO something. Look at them! What's happening?"
Makoto looked around wiping off her forehead with her quaking hand. "Are…are we being attacked?"
"I don't know yet, but Good Work Saturn! Glad you kept your head on straight." Minako, being the leader of the group for over a year now, narrowed her eyes in suspicion. "Hey Amy! Have you picked up anything on your visor?"
Amy, still stunned from the horrid sound, hadn't even had time to take out her visor. She shook her head in irritation at how stupid she felt. Her leader had asked something of her and she wasn't prepared. "I… I'll check." Amy's visor had appeared over her eyes within minutes, with her mini computer out as well.
Minako crossed her arms and closed her eyes grimacing to herself. Yes, maybe she was tuff now. On the Senshi, and herself. But she had to be. Since the princess, and the leader sailor moon, never showed up it was her responsibility to train the Senshi. "Find anything?" She said only after a few minutes.
Amy's mouth fell open mechanically while concentrating rigidly on her work at hand. "I have pinpointed the coordinates of where the attack came from, but I'm afraid we are helpless to do anything until this sound stops! It seems to go on and on, it must be a reverberation."
"Hum..." was Minako's only response.
"Well…is there no way to stop this racket? Anyway at all?" Michiru inquired.
Just as Amy was about to answer with a rhetorical no, it stopped. The sound was completely cut off.
Minako gave Amy a quizzical look. "Now what?"
Amy shook her head. "I'm not sure, it must have been cut off by someone. With the way it was going, I'm sure it didn't just stop for no particular reason."
Minako pointed to Sailor Saturn who was still holding up the barrier. "Let the barrier down. We have to go check this out before the trail gets cold."
Sailor Saturn did as instructed as the rest of the Senshi pulled out there Henshin sticks.
All of them simultaneously shouted out their Henshin phrases.
"MERCURY STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"
"VENUS STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"
"JUPITOR STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"
"MARS STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"
"URANUS PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!"
"NEPTUNE PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!"
"PLUTO PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!"
"FIGHTER STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"
"HEALER STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"
"MAKER STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"
Bright lights filled the area and blinded the view of anyone who might be watching. As the lights died down 10 newly transformed Sailor Senshi stood in view. Sailor Saturn stood with them, and without a second thought they all leapt into the night, Haruka in the lead as usual. They ran through numerous neighborhoods. Venus took a daring bound onto the roof of a building, and continued their trail by rooftop, while the others pursued it on the ground. "Amy! Are we close by where the attack was?" She was speaking into her communicator, for Amy wouldn't be able to hear her from the ground.
Amy ran a memorized map though her mind. "Yes. It should be just four or five blocks east," She said into her own communicator.
So while Venus continues there quest to they're destination via rooftop, the rest of the Senshi ran by foot, while scouting the area they passed for anything strange. But the only thing any of them could see were signs of the blast. Smoke filled the vicinity, even when they were still blocks away from the attacked area. In shops, windows had shattered from vibrations of the loud noise. Unconscious people lined the streets, sidewalks, and other places, having fallen unaware from the ear-piercing scream.
The Senshi arrived at their destined point, and a look of shock came upon their faces. This area looked ten times as horrible then anything they had just saw while on their way. The area was for the most part beyond repair. Buildings had been blown away, leaving not one trace of its past presence. Ruble lined a circle, a circle where nothing laid. The Senshi all suspected the circular clear section had been where the blast had specifically occurred. They all looked around expecting to find an evil demon, or enemy, but found not one.
They inquired numerous questions and stated several comments at one another.
"What is going on?"
"Where is the culprit?"
"Do you see anything Senshi?"
"They must have seen us coming."
"Yeah, probably got scared!"
"Is that… it can't be! Who are you?"
Sailor Star fighter was who spoke last. The others turned to look at her (him) in puzzlement. They saw her (him) staring with enthrallment at something, and as they followed her (his) gaze to the attraction she (he) was staring at, they saw why. In the distance, atop a building slightly damaged from the explosion, stood the lone figure of a Sailor Senshi. Her frame was small and petite, and long golden pigtails waved swiftly in the wind, behind her form, traveling down past her feet. Brilliant Blue eyes pierced the night's outline, making the midnight sky look tainted.
Wings graced the presence of her back and red ribbons hung from the back of her multicolored skirt. White boots with red lining on the top came to knee height, and a beautiful locket was placed in the center of her bow on her chest. As they all examined her face they saw a rare symbol they knew only certain people carried. A golden crescent moon was marked on her forehead, as well on other spots on her outfit, shining brightly in the gleaming moonlight. They knew only people of the moon family carried this mark. Luna, Artemis, and Queen Serenity all had this mark, and they knew there Princess would too.
Except this person was dressed in Sailor Senshi attire. She didn't look like a princess. Sailor Pluto said nothing along the lines of the Princess being a Sailor Senshi. So why couldn't she be, they all thought. The attractive figure shifted her body, feeling all the stares upon her.
Then a thought came to Sailor Venus. "Did…did she cause that outburst?"
The rest of the Senshi looked over to her in astonishment. "What do you mean Venus?" Asked Sailor Star Maker.
They all turned their attention back to the foreign Senshi, only to catch a glimpse of her retreating form. "NO WAIT!" Sailor Uranus cried, but it was to late. The petite Senshi had already leapt off the other side of the building. Sailor Uranus, Star Fighter, and Venus all quickly ran over and jumped atop the building the foreign Senshi last stood. As they looked off the other side, they saw not one trace of where she had gone.
After two hours of searching the area, most of the Senshi had de-transformed and returned to the temple for another meeting. They had searched every area, covering 14 blocks each, but found nothing. Leaping from building to building made it easy for them to search, but they still didn't catch up with her. It seemed to them as if she had disappeared into thin air. The particular theory of that didn't really surprise any of them. For they had all faced several enemies who had the power to evaporate without a trace, like some of their first enemies of the Heart Snatchers! But they had never heard of a Senshi with such ability, with the exception of Setsuna. The thought was unlikely. So why did it seem she did so?
"Well I, for one, don't think she was a real genuine Sailor Senshi!" Stated Yaten.
"So, your saying you thinks she's a fraud?" questioned Taiki.
"That's exactly what I think!" Yaten retorted.
Makoto looked up, eyes widening. "Well, why would she pose as a Sailor Senshi? Could she have been the enemy?"
"Now wait you guys, remember when Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune first arrived! We accused them as being the enemy too! Now look. We were wrong and they were our allies!" Stated Minako.
Rei shook her head. "Why don't you think before you speak "leader"?" Minako looked away in mild embarrassment and shame. Rei only continued. "We may have been wrong then, but we can't always rely on past experiences. It could be our downfall. We can't let our guard down just because we thought that before. She "could" very well be our enemy! After all, she was found by the scene of the crime."
"Possibly so Rei! But for all we know she could have stopped that assail. Like I spoke of earlier, with the pattern it was going at, I don't thin it would have stopped so suddenly and so soon unless someone or something inflicted damage upon its source. If she didn't stop it, who did?"
The rest of the group sat in silence for a few minutes, letting Amy's words sink in.
"Do you think Sailor Saturn and Sailor Pluto have possibly found anything?" Asked Michiru. She was standing by the window, looking out with a look of frustration and concern.
Haruka stepped up beside her and looked out as well. "We won't know until they get back!" The rest of the group remained silent. They all awaited the other two's return. Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn had stayed out, to investigate more. If they found anything, the two had said they would alert the others as soon as possible.
Rei exited the room and came back moments later with a tray of hot tea. She passed each of the Senshi a cup, and then sat on her pallet by the small table with her own tea. So there they sat, each sipping their hot tea, while standing or sitting randomly around the room. It wasn't until they heard the sound of approaching footsteps that any of them moved.
The door slid aside and Hotaru and Setsuna walked in, each with a look of disappointment.
Minako decided to speak first. "Did you find anything?"
Hotaru shook her head a solemnly no. The others sighed in exhaustion.
"Where are the answers? There must be some kind of clues!" Yaten fell backwards and lay motionless for a few moments. Rain began, and picking up rapidly, it beat rhythmically against the glass of the window. Every one seemed to find a great deal of interest of the astounding thing called the floor. No one spoke again, for what seemed like 10minutes. Hotaru and Setsuna still stood near the doorframe, having not moved an inch since they arrived; they looked at each other with cheerless expressions. Michiru still looked out the window, Haruka behind her with her hands on Michiru's shoulders. They all listened to the rain still beating on the roof, and the low growl of thunder from the clouds looming over their fair community. None of them had anything to say.
That was when they heard it, a distinct clatter from the other side of the Temple. It sounded as if it came from front of the temple, in the main front room. They all looked at each other, and didn't say a word, as each of them slipped out of the room and down the outdoor hallway (porch thing) silently, one by one. Haruka was the first to see it; the door to the Temples Fire Reading room was slightly slid open. Rei arrived next and gave Haruka a look, silently telling her "it should not be open". Haruka nodded in confirmation. She turned to Makoto, who just arrived, and motioned for her to follow her lead. Haruka placed a hand on the sliding door and held up fingers counting 1, 2, and 3. On three Haruka slid open the door with great speed, and Makoto and her rushed into the room in fighting stance.
Haruka and Makoto looked around, looking for anything out of place. The others stood in the doorway. Seiya stepped in and looked about. He stood next to Haruka, who was now letting down her guard, and asked "Anything?" Haruka scratched her head and mumbled "It…. must…. have been the wind!" The others sighed in relief, but Rei stepped forward, a scowl on her face. "No! I sense something! I'm not sure what it is though! But it doesn't belong in here!" Tension rose in the room, and the others gave Rei a questioning look. She simply ignored them, and moved forward. She approached the sliding door of a closet. It was the room she put wood in for the Sacred Fire, just in case. She removed a paper charm ((anyone know what those are called?)) from her Miko (priestess) outfit and held it in her hand ready to slap it on any evil spirits.
With the others now gathered behind her, She yanked the Sliding door open.
Everyone's eyes grew wide as they saw what was hidden inside. A small, petite young woman was sitting inside in a fetal position. Her blonde hair hung down and adored around her face and small body. She held something tightly in her arms. She seemed like she was protecting it. Small Whimpers could be heard coming from her as she cried. The others looked at each other in astonishment. They didn't know what to think. Then the young blonde made a move, and they all stepped back. The young girl stood, hair falling behind her reaching to the level of her knees, and they now saw what she was holding. Inside her arms, she held two things. Grasped in her right hand was a small stone. In its center was a dark liquid. She shifted her arms so that her right arm reached out and she offered the small stone to Amy. Amy looked hesitant to take it at first, but finally did so.
When she did, the blonde shifted her arms ones again, so now the others could see the small face of a young girl in her arms. She couldn't have been more than three years of age. She had a full head of bright Pink hair, and was sound sleep in her arms. The young girls hair was let loose as well, and lie messily around her small form.
Haruka looked at the blonde with suspicion. "Who are you?" She asked sternly.
Her strength was retreating fast, and her posture faltered. The blonde made contact with each of their eyes and spoke, Her voice was weak and barley understandable.
"Changes through time…." She let out a deep breath, her legs gave away, her eyes rolled into the back of her head then closed, and she fell forward into the nearest persons arms, which was Seiya's, and the child was still held tightly and protectively in her arms.
