Chapter 10
Serenity and Endymion entered the kitchen to find Raye and Jadeite fighting.
"Why do you have to be so rude?" screamed Raye.
"Why do you have to be so stubborn and stuck up? I apologized already!" Jadeite retorted.
Endymion cleared his throat, "What is going on in here?"
"Well you see I was just . . ." Jadeite began.
"Shut up! You tried to kill my sister and I'm just supposed to forgive you for it!" Raye interrupted.
"Raye!" Serenity screamed. "Honestly, he apologized already and I forgave him so shouldn't you."
"Besides Raye, they ARE in the middle of a war," Amy reasoned.
"I know, but why? I mean Endymion only told us a part of the story. I think we should hear the rest before go any further in this mess," Raye said.
"I think that's a good idea," Lita agreed.
Endymion looked around at his friends and the girls. Finally he looked down at Serenity and sighed.
"I guess it's time we show our true selves. What do you think guys?" Endymion asked his friends.
"I guess we can't hide forever," Nephrite smiled.
"I hope we can trust them, Endymion," Kunzite said.
They each took out a different colored rose to begin their transformations. Nephrite pulled out a forest green rose that had a touch of light pink on the tip. He held the rose up high and a green light engulfed him. When the light faded he stood in a gray general's uniform with green lining.
"I am General Nephrite, Protector of the Prince of Earth and Guardian of Nature." He bowed to the girls.
Zoisite was next. His rose was ice blue and looked as if it had ice crystals on it. He held it high as a blue light surrounded him. The same outfit Nephrite wore except he had blue lining instead of green replaced his clothes.
"I am General Zoisite, Protector of the Prince of Earth and Guardian of the Waters." He also bowed to the group.
The girls were staring in awe at the two when Jadeite lifted his flame red rose to the sky. A fiery glow covered him and revealed him in the same gray uniform. His lining was red though.
He bowed and said, "I am General Jadeite, Protector of the Prince of Earth and Guardian of Fire and Sight."
Kunzite's rose was orange with gold tips. He raised it as an orange aura surrounded him. It faded to reveal him wearing the same general uniform with orange lining. He also had a white cape held on by two orange jewels.
"I am General Kunzite, Leader of the Earth Prince's Guard and Defender of the Heart." He bowed to the group.
Everyone looked at Endymion expectantly. He smiled and held up a red rose. Where Jadeite's was flame red, Endymion's was a deeper shade of red, almost like blood. It also had traces of silver in the petals. A golden glow surrounded him. Everyone in the room had to shield their eyes because it was so bright. When the light faded Endymion wore a uniform much like his friends' but his was black. He also wore armor over his clothes. Like Kunzite he had a cape, his was black with red lining. The generals kneeled in front of him and the girls followed suit.
"I am Prince Endymion, Heir to the Earthen Throne and Protector of this Planet." He bowed to the group. "Arise."
The girls stared at them in awe. They could not believe it.
Lita spoke first, "Since they revealed who they are to us, I think we should do the same."
Serenity looked at her sister in confusion, "Huh?"
"I agree. It's only polite," Amy said.
Lita held up her necklace and a green glow filled with electricity surrounded her. When the energy faded, Lita stood there wearing a floor length, strapless green dress that had a long train flowing from her back. On her head she wore a beautiful silver crown with emeralds and pearls that formed flowers.
"I am Princess Lita, Heir to the Jupiterian Throne and Protector of the Moon Princess." The Generals bowed to her and her sisters curtsied.
Serenity had a shocked expression on her face. My sister a princess? I cannot believe this.
Amy held her necklace up like her sister did. An icy blue energy filled with ice crystals encased her body. When it disappeared, Amy stood wearing a floor length royal blue dress. It had one-inch straps that had silver clasps in the form of the symbol of Mercury. She wore a delicate crown that looked like it was made of ice. The crystals formed small snowflakes.
"I am Princess Amy, Heir to the Mercurian Throne and Protector of the Moon Princess." She did a small curtsy and turned to her sisters.
Raye lifted her necklace as well. Red flames surrounded her and when they died down Raye was revealed wearing a floor length, flame red dress. It had Spaghetti straps and rubies embroidered the top. She had a golden tiara with rubies forming small flames.
"I am Princess Raye, Heir to the Martian Throne and Protector of the Moon Princess." She had a look of authority in her eyes that no one in the room wanted to challenge.
Mina did as her sisters and held up her necklace. A golden beam came down and surrounded her. When it faded Mina stood wearing a pale yellow floor length dress. It was a spaghetti strap dress. One strap had yellow roses going up the front. On her she wore a golden crown with pearls and golden hearts.
"I am Princess Mina, Heir to the Venusian Throne and Leader of the Moon Princess' Guardians."
Everyone turned his or her attention to Serenity now.
"I am just Serenity nothing special," she sighed and looked away.
Her sisters were all princesses. Endymion was a prince. Even his friends were generals. She was nothing. Why was she even here? With a downtrodden face she turned to leave the room.
"Serenity wait!" Mina exclaimed.
"Don't go," Amy said.
"You are still our sister," Raye told her.
"And still a part of the group," Lita finished.
"Very well I will stay, although, I don't know what I could do to help. It seems you all have such strong powers and I'd just be a burden."
"You could never be a burden, Sere," Endymion soothed her. "Now I think we should tell each other everything we know. Maybe something could help us find the savior, the princess."
"Maybe we should detransform," Kunzite suggested.
"Good idea. It's best to conserve energy in case we are attacked," Zoisite agreed.
The room was filled with a myriad of colors. When the colors faded, everyone was back to normal.
"I already told you about our dream, so why don't you tell us how you came to know who you were and of the Moon Princess," Endymion said.
"Well, we didn't find out until we were in the forest," Mina stated. "I was the first to be awakened. My mother in this life was the Queen of the Moon in the past. She told me what happened and asked me to find the princess."
"The same with me," Lita agreed. "She also unblocked my memories so I could remember that life. I couldn't see the faces of anyone else though until they were awakened."
"Same here," Amy continued. "She blessed my necklace with the powers of Mercury. I felt stronger after I met her. I can't explain it though."
"She knew we were coming to her," Raye began. "She knew we needed the powers of our past selves. She was waiting."
"Why did she wait so long to tell you? I know she died, but why weren't you born with the knowledge and power?" Endymion asked the girls.
"She probably wanted us to live a normal life for as long as we could. I remember that's what we always wanted, especially the princess," Amy explained.
"What do you remember about the Moon Kingdom?" Zoisite asked.
"Let's see how did she put it?" Mina mumbled to herself.
"Once, there was a powerful kingdom that ruled over this universe peacefully. It was a time called the Silver Millennium," Raye started.
"She was the queen of this kingdom and had one daughter. Her daughter fell in love with the prince of Earth. They were to be married," Lita continued.
"But an evil force attacked the kingdom and killed them both," Amy said. "The princess had four guardians, each from a different planet, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. Each was also a princess of her own planet. They were called the Sailor Scouts. They had powers that came from their home planet."
"They too died in that battle. The Queen could not stand to see all of her people's futures destroyed so she sent them all into the future to find a better life," Mina finished. "That is what she told us and all that we know."
"She also told us to find her daughter because she alone can save the magic in this world," Raye said.
"Do you think that the savior and the Princess are the same person?" Jadeite asked.
"Of course it is, don't you pay attention?" Nephrite replied.
Serenity's stomach grumbled interrupting the conversation. "I'm hungry. When' s lunch?"
"I'll fix it right now," Nephrite told her. "Anyone care to help?"
"I'll help," Lita offered and followed Nephrite to prepare some food.
After everyone was fed, the group spilt up into pairs. Lita went with Nephrite into the forest to find food for dinner. Amy and Zoisite went into the library to see if they could find anything about the Moon Princess or he dead kingdom. Mina and Kunzite talked about the fighting and tried to come up with some new plans. Raye and Jadeite put aside their differences to try and find out who the enemy was trying to destroy magic. Endymion stayed with Serenity trying to comfort her a bit.
"Sere, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?! I just found out that my sisters are princesses and from other planets! My mother was a queen in another life! And you! You are a prince! What's not wrong?" tears were threatening to fall.
"Feel better?"
"A bit."
"Good."
"It's just that I was never really close to my sisters until a few days ago when I turned eighteen. And now, they aren't even the people I thought they were. I knew them my whole life and now I don't know them at all. They have a purpose in all of this. I don't I'm useless to you."
"No you're not. I told you before; you helped me when no one else could. You saved me. I may be a prince but I'm still the same person as before. And I think I love you."
"Oh Endy, I love you too. But we can't love each other."
"Why?"
"Because you heard the story. You were to marry the Moon Princess. You loved her enough to die for her. And she loved you. I remember a story that my father once told me of the Moon Kingdom. He said the Moon Princess was destined to be with the Earth Prince. They were soul mates. They would always find each other no matter what happened."
"Sere, I don't care I don't love some dead princess. I love you."
"Oh Endy," tears flowed freely down her cheeks now. "I wish it could be different."
"Shhh Sere, Everything will be alright. It will all work out," he gently rubbed her back until she stopped crying.
At dinner, the group discussed their findings.
"I sensed who was destroying magic. I don't know who it is but it was a familiar presence," Raye reported.
"We need to find the princess soon," Jadeite stated. "The enemy is building up a lot of force. There will be an attack soon."
"Mina and I came up with a plan. Since we seem to have similar powers, we believe we can combine them and for a larger and more powerful attack."
"Kunzite and I tried it out earlier and it does work. I came up with it from what we used to do on the Moon."
"We didn't find anything in the books. We even checked and double checked them," Amy said.
"We did, however, find references to an ultimate power. It said that a beautiful queen guarded this power. No one knew what the power was but everyone feared it. We believe the queen to be the Moon Queen," Zoisite continued.
"If we are right then this power may have been passed to the princess even though she died," Amy stated.
"I do seem to remember a crystal or something that belonged to the Queen. It was heavily guarded," Lita recalled.
"She once told me that it was handed down through generations," Mina remembered.
"While we were in the forest, I noticed that there was tension in the air. Everything seemed to be awaiting something bad to happen," Lita warned.
"We should all be on alert," Nephrite said.
"We have all had a busy day," Endymion said. "There are six rooms upstairs. Nephrite will bunk with Zoisite and Kunzite will bunk with Jadeite. We'll leave you to choose where you will sleep."
The girls decided that Lita and Amy would sleep in Nephrite's room. Mina and Raye would stay in Kunzite's room. Serenity would stay in the spare bedroom. They all said their good nights and headed off to bed.
Serenity sat at her window staring at the moon. I wish I could be of some help to them. I wish I could do something. I hope I can be with Endy. I love him so much, but I will not keep him from his princess.
Unknowing to everyone an angel smiled down on Serenity. "Soon my daughter, it is not yet your time. You will be reunited with your memories and past soon enough. But first, your friends must discover how to unlock their strength. They cannot protect you otherwise. In this form, at least, the evil cannot recognize you."
AN: Hey!! I hope you like this chapter. Thanks for the reviews. I love to hear from you all! Just a reminder I don't own Sailor Moon but you know that already. It wouldn't be called FANfiction if I did. No more school!!! YEA!!! I just got back from taking my physics final! I HATE PHYSICS!! Oh well. Happy reading. KoKo Belle
