Konnichi WA Minna Chan! I'm back with another Chapter! This chapter actually would have been out sooner. But every time I wrote it, my computer screwed up and it got lost. So, I'm glad I can finally put this chapter out!
Special thanks to Meri Chan, who reads/reviews every single one of my stories I post. I don't know how she does it. It must drive her insane! So Arigato Meri Chan!
And of course, as always, Arigato to all my readers and reviewers! Domo Arigato!
Ok, lets begin!
DISCLAIMER:
Due to the fact that I'm lazy, and my Ramen noodles are getting cold sitting in the kitchen all by themselves, I will make this short! I DON"T OWN SAILOR MOON!
Ok, done! Runs off to join Ramen noodles in the kitchen while shouting "Yummy!" all the way.
CHANGES THROUGH TIME
Chapter Four
Mysterious Twin. Part two
After the servants left, their master sat in silence. A cold breeze, somehow, moved through the chamber.
Light from a candle shifted in, and light washed over the Master's face. His skin was pale white, and his hair was as black as coal. His icy blue eyes, a blue so light it could almost pass as white, pierced the darkness. As his anger rose, you could see his eyes threaten to turn the color of blood red.
"Those stupid Senshi won't be around to interfere for long! They will come to fear the name Azure!"
Everyone stared at the little girl and Michiru in Shock. "AUNT?" They all screamed simultaneously. The little girl snuggled in closer to Michiru, and Michiru's face went blank for the first time.
"Umm…Haruka…" She said quietly. Haruka came in closer to the pair "Yes, what is it Michiru?"
Michiru looked down at the child "She must be mistaken. I can't be her aunt!"
Amy stepped forward, ready to be the voice of logic and reason. "Well, I'm sure it couldn't have been a mistake in identity. Considering she recognized you and called you Michiru, she must mean you! The possibility of there being someone who looks and has the same name as you is VERY slim, Michiru!"
Michiru looked from Amy to the little girl, and raised her voice to express her feelings for one of the first times. "DON'T TALK TO ME WITH ALL YOUR LOGIC CRAP RIGHT NOW!" The little girl looked up to her with wide eyes, mouth opened in astonishment. She then noticed she was yelling in front of a small 3yr old child. "I mean...umm...Then why did she say that?" She said while smiling sweetly to the girl and making funny faces to make the young one laugh. The little girl stared for a few second then giggled insanely.
The little girl let out another squeal of excitement and turned toward the nearest person, who just happened to be Minako. "Aunt Minako!"
She leapt out of Michiru's arms and into Minako's. "Ahh, get her off. What's going on?" Minako started to panic; she wasn't very good with children.
Minako yelped as she desperately tried to hold onto the squirming child.
Everyone tried to help grab the rambunctious toddler. "Calm her down!" Makoto said trying to get a hold on the little girl's arm. She was still squealing with excitement and squirming around in Minako's arms.
"How?" Came a panicked voice of Hotaru. The little girl flipped over in Minako's hands, trying to avoid everyone else's hands, and Hotaru got a foot in the mouth! "OW," She said holding her hand over her mouth, and counting her teeth to make sure they were all still there.
"I don't know!" Makoto answered in a panicked state. "Entertain her, give her something," she almost shouted.
Hotaru put aside all of her shyness, and looked at the child with determination to catch her attention and said, "HELLO little one! Would you like some ICE CREAM"? She tilted her head to the side and smiled pleasantly. Everyone else just stared in amazement; they had rarely seen Hotaru Smile before. She was always so distant and quiet.
The little girl stopped squirming. She turned her head toward the voice and saw Hotaru.
"Aunt Hotaru!" She climbed down from Minako and ran to Hotaru, hugging Hotaru's legs. "I glad I see Hotaru again!" She spoke between giggles.
Hotaru looked down at the child, puzzled. "What do you mean? What is your name little one?"
Everyone else stared, ready to get answers. That is, except for Setsuna and Mamoru. They had disappeared amongst all the commotion a long time ago, unnoticed by the others.
The little girl looked up at Hotaru. She didn't say anything at all, just stared.
Then she spoke. "Ice cream?" She pulled on the end of Hotaru's dress and tapped her foot impatiently. She looked very old for her age.
Hotaru smiled briefly, remembering her offer, and picked up the child, heading for the kitchen. "Of course. We'll get you some ice Cream from Rei's kitchen!"
The pink headed girls eyes lit up, and she peeked over Hotaru's shoulder and waved. "Thanks Aunt Rei!" She smiled wide, and then hugged Hotaru's neck. Every one else jus sighed in relief and looked at Michiru who was trying with great effort to straiten out her now messy hair.
--;;
Three figures stood in the shadows, one was being held up by another.
"Well, come on. Make some ruckus. Get those Senshi to come out here!"
"Yes sir." Spoke the Female Servant.
"Stupid Slave! And don't mess it up this time!" Spoke the male; He dropped the other man to the ground where he lied motionless.
"I wouldn't dream of it Sir!" The women laughed coldly and smiled toward their prisoner. "This will be too much fun to ruin!"
The tall figure of the male servant shifted, and shrunk into a smaller form, almost like a toddler boy's. His voice was smaller and more evil. "Yes. I think your finally proving you're self-Worthy! It looks like you're finally a devoted servant of Azure, thanks to me!"
"Thank you sir! I am very devoted!" She said almost too happily.
She pulled out another round stone from what seemed like nowhere. "Leave everything to me!"
The other servant rose into the air, as if to watch from a safe distance above.
The female continued to speak. "This blast will be smaller than the last, so it won't hurt us. It's just to get their attention."
She heard the small voice "Then get on with it!"
She held the stone up high and pitched it at the building 20feet away, not caring of the damage it could cause.
"Setsuna! Why did you pull me out?"
Setsuna and Mamoru stood on the deck outside the Temple. "Because, you didn't need to be in there just yet, Mamoru!" She said innocently.
"What? Why?" Mamoru looked at Setsuna. She was staring down at the porch, eyes filled with sadness and knowledge. "Do you know who those people are Setsuna?"
Setsuna looked up to Mamoru, a tear running down her cheek. "Yes!" She spoke silently. Mamoru looked at her expectantly. "But I can't tell you who they are Mamoru! I just can't! I know I usually tell you more than the others, but I can't tell you this! Even if you are the prince of the earth! Besides...I may know who they are...but I don't know why they are here. They shouldn't be! Its this hole time line…none of it makes sense…"
The silence was broke as they heard an explosion in the distance. This explosion was no were near as big or loud than the others. Although they could still hear a high-pitched scream come from it, but they were to far away for it to do any damage. Then the high-pitched scream died down. "This attack wasn't as big as the other one. We need to hurry!" Setsuna said in a hurry. "Maybe we can catch the culprit this time! Or see that new Senshi!"
Mamoru gave a questionable look to Mamoru. "I'll explain later!" She answered.
Setsuna and Mamoru were about to Re-enter the Temple when Sailor Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Star fighter, Star Healer, Star Maker, and the cat guardians came running out of a door down the way. Sailor Venus stood in front of Setsuna. "We transformed in another room. We are going to check this out! Hotaru is with the little girl, so can you stay with the women? She may wake up and panic while we are gone."
Setsuna gave a slight nod and wished the others good luck as she walked back into the Temple. Mamoru pulled a Rose from his pocket. Red lights flashed and there he stood, as Tuxedo Mask. "Lets go!" Sailor Venus ordered.
They all jumped off into the night toward the attack in the distance.
After the explosion, the two villains sat back to wait. It wouldn't be long, they knew.
Soon the Fun will begin! Thought the girl. "Is our Prisoner hidden and ready to come out when needed?" She asked.
"Yes!" Spoke the dark voice hovering above her. "I'll bring him out again when the time is right!"
They saw ten figures and two animal forms sprinting toward them in the night. The first to arrive was Sailor Uranus, then Sailor Neptune and Venus, then the rest. "Who are you?" Sailor Uranus demanded. She stepped into the light. She was…
Venus looked at the figure. "It's her!"
A clank of a bowel being set on the surface of a counter was heard. "So what kind of ice cream do you want?" Hotaru asked the excited toddler.
"Umm..." She giggled in her excitement and scratched her head as if it was the most important question in the world. "Rocky Roll?" She asked.
Hotaru smiled cheerfully. "Well let me check if Rei even has that flavor!" She walked across the kitchen and stopped in front of the refrigerator and opened the freezer compartment. "WOW! Looks like your in luck sweetie. It looks like someone in this Temples favorite ice-Cream is indeed Rocky Roll."
The little girl let out a squeal of joy. "Aunt Rei always has Rocky ROLL! YAY!"
Hotaru glanced at the child, but somehow knew it was futile to ask her how she knew everyone. The girl was so innocent, and only sat their giggling with excitement. Hotaru removed the ice cream from the freezer and sat it beside the bowel. She grabbed an ice-cream scooper from a near by drawer and began using all of her strength to remove the frozen ice cream from the box and put it in the bowel. When she was finally done she put the scooper in the sink, the ice cream back in the freezer, and grabbed a spoon. Putting the spoon in the bowel full of Ice Cream, she grabbed the bowel and moved across the Kitchen once again, this time toward the table where the little girl sat waiting in a chair.
"Here you are!" Hotaru sat the bowel in front of the little girl, and she happily began munching.
"So tell me, what's your name?"
The little girl continued to eat the delicious Ice Cream, until she finally answered "My mommy told me not to tell anyone my name when we came here!"
Hotaru looked at her with a confused face. "And where did you come from?"
"My mommy told me not to tell anyone!"
Hotaru took a deep breath. "And who is your Mommy?"
"My mommy told me not to tell anyone!"
Hotaru could clearly see she wasn't getting anywhere.
Setsuna stepped back into the Temple. She could hear the others sprinting off into the night. She took a seat next to the bed where the Young Women laid. "You look the same as when I last saw you!" She spoke. Silence filled the air. Setsuna continued staring at the Young blonde, minutes passed, then she finally turned away.
She rose and walked over to an open window, looking out at the night sky and its endless number of twinkling stars, wondering if the others needed help. Maybe she should watch both the young women and the young girl, who was all too familiar with her, and let Hotaru go help. She knew they would need help. She just had a feeling.
"Your right…"
Setsuna's eyes widened as the weak voice spoke. She twirled around to see the blonde sitting up in bed, clutching her side.
Setsuna continued to stare with shock.
"Your Right, Sailor Pluto. They do need help. We must go help them!" The blonde spoke.
Setsuna rushed over to kneel down beside the blonde, showing no shock of being called her Senshi name. "But, your side seems to be hurt. You can not fight with injury…"
The Blond hushed her before she finished her sentence. She stared over at the doorframe, which lead to the Temples hallway. "Sailor Saturn, you can come out now!" Setsuna stared over at the doorframe now as well.
The door slid open and Hotaru stepped in with a shocked expression. "Who are you?" She spoke calmly. The little pink-headed girl was held in her arms, sleeping soundly.
Not answering the question, the blonde rose from her bed and walked over toward Hotaru. She stared silently down at the little girl. "Setsuna, my injury is fine, do not worry about that! I was just a little rusty and careless, so I was slightly injured. After all, I hadn't transformed for a long time." She held out her arms and took the little girl. She ran a finger over the toddlers chin and spoke quietly.
"Chibi Usa, its time to go help our friends again!"
"EERRR! I'll RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!" Called Sailor Uranus as she swung again at her opponent. Her opponent moved to the side gracefully, avoiding the punch.
"Is that the best you can do?" She called out. "Then I guess it's my turn!" She moved from offensive to defensive, and struck Sailor Uranus in the stomach with her fist. Sailor Uranus's mouth opened in pain, as she was sent flying back about twenty feet, slamming into a building.
"URANUS!" Neptune called. She was slouched against a tree. She started to try and scoot across the ground toward Uranus's form. The other Senshi lay arbitrarily around the area, either unconscious or in pain from a recent attack they had received. As Neptune tried to move across the ground toward Uranus's unconscious form, a white boot met her hand, and pressed down with great force. Neptune's face cringed in more pain.
"Going somewhere?" Asked the voice from above.
"NO! Leave Sailor Neptune alone!" Came the voice of the injured cat, Artemis. He was trying his hardest to stand, but it was clear he had a broken rib or two.
"OH dear! I thought I had gotten rid of the two cats! Guess I'll have to do it again!" While keeping her boot pushed down painfully on Neptune's hand, she rose her hand toward Artemis prepared to kill him with a large blast.
An unexpected roaring sound came from a distance, and then grew closer. The attack was high up, so it missed Neptune all together. It would have hit the girl, if she hadn't abandoned her attack on Artemis and jumped upwards away from Neptune to avoid it. She turned toward the person from which it came.
"The star lights, I thought I had put you down for the count! God, you Senshi just keep getting up! What's with you all! Don't you know how to DIE?" She said in an annoyed tone, practically yelling.
"We will never die as long as scum like you exist! And I do not believe what you say!" Spoke Sailor Star Fighter.
"What ever do you mean?" She giggled out. It wasn't a pleasant giggle; it was more of an evil tone she used with it.
"YOUR NOT SAILOR MOON!" Sailor Star Maker shouted, apparently agreeing with Star Fighter
She cocked an eyebrow at him/her. "Oh, so is that it?" She started walking toward them.
"Well then your right! Because I am Eternal Sailor Moon, not just some regular weak Sailor Senshi! I am ETERNAL! You hear me! I'll be here to torture you forever!" She said teasingly. " I am the same Senshi you saw the other day! So get used to it!"
Light hit her revealing, in fact, the same girl they had saw at the scene of the last attack the day before. Her blonde Pigtails blew in the breeze behind her, and past her white wings. "Well, it looks as if you three are the only ones left to knock down for the count! Then I can destroy you all with ease!" She spoke.
In great speed, she rushed forward. She was in front of the Star Lights within a matter of seconds. She kicked to both sides of Fighter, landing a kick in the face of both Healer and Maker. She then reached out and clasped her right hand around the throat of Fighter, pushing him/her back with great force until she had rammed him/her into a building.
He/she struggled for air, while pinned to the building, grasping Eternal Sailor Moons hand, trying to pull her off.
"Its useless!" She spoke. "You will die soon! All of you Senshi! I've single handedly beat all of you! It would take a miracle to save you all now!" Just as she said that a Pink heart hit and burned through the glove of her right arm, and into the skin, creating a VERY shallow wound. But nonetheless, it burned, and she yanked her arm back, and away from Fighter. "WHO DID THAT? Who would DARE?" She said. She rubbed her arm slightly then looked around toward the direction from which the attack came.
"Mommy I hit the Target! Did you see Mommy! I hit it!"
She turned toward the small voice that had just spoken. Her eyes widened in shock.
On top of a near by building stood four lone figures. She couldn't quite make out who they were from this distance.
"Who are you?" She snapped, straining her eyes to see their faces clearly.
The first stepped into the light. "I am Sailor Pluto! Guardian of Time! You shall pay for hurting my friends!"
The other stepped forward. "I am Sailor Saturn! Sailor Senshi of Destruction!"
Then the other two stepped into the light. The Senshi who were now conscious (Neptune, Venus, Mercury, and Fighter) all stared in amazement. Sailor Eternal Moon scowled in disgust.
Atop the building, in between Sailor Saturn and Sailor Pluto, stood the other two Senshi.
The first stood in all Gold and White Sailor Fuku, literally, and had her hair in two very long pigtails, similar to Eternal Moon's (but longer). She had on a White body suit, with a short Skirt covering the bottom half of it. The skirt had two layers, Gold and White. There was a Gold Bow on her chest and the Back of her skirt, and in the middle of her Chest Bow was a Star shaped Crystal Locket. Gold Wings adored her back, instead of White wings like Eternal Sailor Moon had, and she wore White Boots with Gold trim on the top. Her Crescent moon Shone brightly on her forehead. "I am Neo Sailor Moon!" She shouted.
Eternal Sailor Moon and Neo Sailor Moon looked very much alike. The only noticeable differences were their Sailor Fuku and their ages. This Sailor Moon seemed older and wiser. Where as the other, evil one, was young.
The second figure was small. Her Pink hair was pulled into two Pigtails, like both the Sailor Moon's. She smiled widely, griping a very small sector in her hand, which has a heart shaped charm on the top. She wore a small Sailor Outfit; similar to every one else's, except her colors were Pink and White. She seemed to be very proud that she had hit her Target. "I'm Chibi Moon!" (Chibi Sailor Moon).
The conscious Senshi gasped. Two Sailor Moons, no, three if you counted the little one. This was unspeakable. Not only did their enemy claim to be the leader they were all looking for. The leader who was supposed to be the strongest and purest Senshi among them, now there was another Senshi claiming to be Sailor moon!
"OH…Its you…I thought it might have been someone challenging." She said now that she recognized them. "So you finally decided to show up?" Eternal Sailor Moon said with a smirk. "And I see you brought your little pipsqueak with you!" She let out a mocking laugh.
Neo Moon frowned. "You will not talk about her that way!"
Eternal Moon smirked again. "I'll talk about that brat any way I want to!"
Chibi Moon looked hurt. "Hey you big meanie! That not nice way to talk!" She said pointing her finger.
"Chibi Moon, be quiet please! Let us handle this!" Said Neo Sailor moon. She never glanced at Chibi Moon; she kept her eyes solely fixed on Eternal Sailor Moon.
Then she quickly decided to scan the area for any more enemies. She searched with her eyes moving only, and saw all the Senshi scattered about. Some awake, some not. Then she saw in the distance, propped up against a car, Tuxedo Mask. He was now awake, and staring at 'her' with wide eyes. She quickly adverted her eyes back to Eternal Sailor Moon.
"So…My Queen," Eternal Moon said sarcastically, "What brings you here?" She knew who Neo Sailor Moon was, where she was from, and why she was here. The other Senshi however did not. And she just wanted to promote questions among them all.
Mercury was now standing on her feet, some distance away. "You're a Queen, Neo Sailor Moon?"
Neo Moon did not answer. She just kept staring at Eternal Sailor Moon. "You know why I'm here," She spoke.
"Well, yes I do!" She said with a fake yawn. "And quite frankly it bores me! You know you will not save this time period! You will not save anything! Including the little surprise I have for you! I bet you didn't see this one coming!"
"What are you talking about?" She asked.
"You'll see!" Eternal Sailor Moon looked up to the sky, and with a wave of her hand, a chain could be heard. Chains fell down to hang loosely beside Eternal Sailor Moon. Hanging at the end of the chains was a Man, chains tightly tied around his wrist, with blood running down his arms. The chains must have been cutting into his wrist!
Everyone's eyes widened in horror at the obvious tortured prisoner. He looked tired, bruised, and his clothes were torn and bloody.
Neo Sailor Moon looked at him with pain in her eyes and she placed one hand on her heart, the other on Chibi Moon's head, turning her away from the site. The child did not argue, and she looked away off into the distance behind her mother.
Tears flowed from Neo Moon's eyes, and she whispered out a name.
"Endymion!"
To be continued…on next chapter
AUTHORS NOTE:
So, how did you like it! Good? Bad?
This chapter was a little longer actually. Wahoo!
Oh, and Chibi Usa (Rini) is supposed to be littler in this story than in the series. She's little, and Cuter, and less annoying! Kawaii Chibi!
Oh, and the name, Neo Sailor Moon. Best name I could think of at the moment. If any one can help me come up with a better one before I post the next chapter or something, I might consider going back and changing it. So, please don't hate on that name. I tried! (Shrugs)
Ok. Next chapter should be out soon. How soon, I don't know. Considering I have school again. I was on Spring Break so the Chapters were coming out rather fast (sort of). But I will try to write every night!
Ok. Ja ne Minna Chan!
Until Next time! (Begs readers) PLEASE REVIEW!
