Chapter Two
3 years later
Helios stood at the same window he had three years ago when the strange voice had given him that warning. The process of getting to the Moon had been talked about Chibi Usa was going to use the Silver Imperial Crystal to get them there for the moment until a more safer route was discovered. Little Kari would be coming along because Chibi Usa felt it was right to have the whole family involved in this no matter how small the job.
Speaking of the devil the girl ran past her dad. She was eight years old now and she still hadn't started her scout training. Despite Chibi Usa's pleas to start training her, Helios had said no. Kari's hair had already started growing her small pigtails going to her shoulders already. The girl kept going as she raced to her mother who was standing nearby. She reached the door but it was already opened.
Chibi Usa shook her head at her child. She had caught her earlier trying to fly, as Kari had put it. She fixed the locket around her neck, where the Silver Imperial Crystal was hanging, hidden. She tugged on her pigtail nervously, as she had a right to, Helios had told her about the warning he received yet it hadn't been repeated for 3 years now. A nearby handmaiden tapped her on the shoulder, as Chibi Usa broke out of her trance.
The handmaiden looked worried. "Are you okay your majesty?" the girl asked.
Chibi Usa nodded, she took a closer look at the girl. The white cloak covered most of the maidens body, but her face and some of her hair could still be seen. She had short light brown hair with deep blue eyes. Chibi Usa smiled, "I'm fine, just thinking."
The girl smiled back, as she picked up Kari. "You don't want to be late now your majesty, do you?" She asked politely.
Chibi Usa laughed. It was rare that a handmaiden would talk to her much, just small comments such as your majesty, and so on. It was a custom to serve the queen, but not to carry on a conversation. "Yes. Common, I would like to take you with me, for company so I don't have to deal with my daughter."
Kari struggled in the girls arms. "Mom, I'm right here you know." She taunted.
The girl smiled then. "You mean since nobody else is brave enough to babysit her."
Chibi Usa's smile grew bigger, she already liked the girl, she reminded her of Cere Cere, but with more boldness. Though the girl was right Kari was too much of a handle for anyone to watch her.
Helios then entered the room looking down at his daughter then to his wife. "Ready to go?" He asked. Behind him walked a young man wearing armour with markings of the moon on it with a sword around his waist. He had blonde hair and green eyes.
The queen nodded, "Who is the boy behind you?" She asked with curiosity.
Helios raised his eyebrows then turned towards the young knight. "It is a suprise to me, but apparently he made it up to personal body gaurd for our daughter and insists that he comes. He name is Danial, and now it seems we have a sitter for our daughter too, and what's her name?" The King asked.
Chibi Usa looked behind her to see the handmaiden playing with Kari. "Her name is..uh.."
"Alexis." The girl replied still playing with Kari as Chibi Usa nodded. Alexis then stood up as Chibi Usa started following her husband out embarrassed about not knowing her own handmaiden's name.
"Thanks." Chibi Usa muttered as they started towards the throne room. Alexis smiled as she lifted up her hood to put over her head as it had fallen earlier. Kari held her hand as Alexis put it down.
Danial walked up to Alexis on her right side, because Kari was on the left. "So I see you finally made it to handmaiden and now a sitter." He teased.
Alexis glared at him, but it couldn't really be seen through the hood. "Very funny, at least I'm not some lower knight, I'm suprised you even made it up to body gaurd." She joked back.
Danial then turned red in anger before looking ahead at the King and Queen holding hands. He then looked around they were close to the throne room. "You do know what to do, in case the queen becomes in danger, right?" He said becoming serious.
"I know what I have to do. Only, I wish I didn't have to..." Alexis stated quietly her eyes becoming sad.
"Are we there yet?" Came the whine from Kari the young girl was confused at the conversation between the two was there something wrong.
Alexis smiled reassuring, but there was still sadness in her eyes, "Look ahead" She muttered nodding to the thrones that stood in front of the room that they entered.
"Okay. Everyone in a circle" Chibi Usa said quietly. Everyone did as Alexis took Helios hand, Danial took Kari's other hand, and the Kings. Chibi Usa summoned out the crystal from the locket. It began to glow, brightly as it covered the queen in a bright light, then it jumped to Helios, Danial, Kari, and finally Alexis, as they were bathed in a beautiful light.
Kari opened her eyes as she saw she wasn't home any more. There were people everywhere building things, and the surface of the place she was at was white. "Where are we Mom?" She asked getting out of Alexis's grasp.
"The Moon dear" was Chibi Usa's reply. "You can explore if you want just don't get too far away."
Kari nodded and off she went running as usual. Danial sweatdropped as he gave a look to Alexis before running off. Alexis shook her head as she removed her hood, the light breeze ruffling her hair.
Chibi Usa waved her husband off as he walked away to talk to the builders over the latest part of the plans. The Moon felt comfortable to her, she couldn't wait for the castle to be built again then the gardens. Chibi Usa then turned to Alexis, the girl's eyes were fill with wonder as she looked around, it was her first trip to the moon. "Alexis, come along, lets find a place to sit and talk. That is why I brought you along."
Alexis turned toward Chibi Usa and nodded. "Yes, your majesty." She said bowing not forgetting her manners.
Chibi Usa rolled her eyes as she held out her arm in friendship. "We are out of the palace, I expect you to call me by my first name, Chibi Usa. I never like that whole "your majesty" thing, so I try to avoid it as much as possible. So please call me Chibi Usa."
Alexis nodded smiling and walked forward to take the queens arm. The two young women walked across the Moon Field till they found a spot to sit. Chibi Usa then gently pulled her fingers through her hair. "So, that knight, is he a boyfriend?" Chibi Usa asked micheviously with a strange glint in her eyes.
Alexis's eyes widened in suprise. "Oh, no, your maje..., I'm mean Chibi Usa, he is my brother."
Chibi Usa nodded suprised herself, the two seemed so different. "I see, why don't you explain a bit it is a rarity that I get to hear about my handmaidens life, since the whole rules make us forbidden to talk to really anyone."
Alexis gulped turning away and looked across the area. She couldn't tell the queen who she really was it would ruin everything, and nothing could ruin the mission, but there was no sense in not telling part of the truth. She took a deep breath and turned back her eyes and voice steady. "It is a long story, but I will give you a shorter version, you see we both were born someplace far away from Crystal Tokyo. Danial and I lived in a small town, when an earthquake hit though even now I don't believe it was an earthquake but somethign else. We were separated from our parents, with no true memory of who we were, and after searching for so long we believed they were dead. So just like a big brother, Danial raised me, he then got a hold of a boat one day, so we caught a ride on it and rode to Crystal Tokyo, the place where everyone lived happily, and he thought we could start a new life there since the memory of our parents was so vague.
It was a few months when we arrived, with no real home, we started begging. My brother said I had the innocent kind of eyes to do the job, while he tried looking for work, I didn't know that truthfully he was trying to find out information about us, our parents. Danial then approached me a week later with some information and a strange looking flier. I had just gotten some money from a person who felt sorry for me."
Alexis sighed and looked at the sky. "Danial was very excited for a strange reason. He then flashed the papers at me."
Flashback
Danial started jumping up and down. "Alexis you have to see this I found information about our family, and a job for you." He whispered.
Alexis looked quizzical as she walked over to Danial still carrying the money she received. "What is it?" She asked pocketing the money.
He smiled. "I think you can become a handmaiden, I mean you serve the queen, get food and board." He said rattling on.
She sighed deeply, her brother had finally lost it. "Danial, in order to be a handmaiden you have to be royalty, or in line to it, or a child of a scout close to the Moon Family." She said interupting him.
Danial rolled his eyes at his sister. "That's the thing we are." He said shoving the papers at Alexis. "Our parents helped out Sailor Moon in the battle of Galaxia. Dad was a member of a famous band back then, the one he married, our mom, was a princess."
Alexis's eyes widened with shock as she kept reading. "So that means I'm a..."
Danial nodded and pulled Alexis along. "We have to hurry, now common get a move on it.
End of Flashback
Chibi Usa waved her hand in front of the girls face. "Alexis you there?" She asked.
The girl shook her head deciding not to tell about the information all the way, she continued. "You see somehow he found out that our father was a scout who helped Usagi out in the past I guess some past memories triggered it. Danial then fixed me up as best as he could and pushed me to the palace. Once there we had a time getting in, but when we did, I began training to become a handmaiden.
"Then the day came when they announced who would become a handmaiden, only five would be chosen. For some reason though, I was chosen along with a four other girls that were all royalty. To this day I still don't really understand. Okay now that was a lie Alexis thought. "I was told I had two days to pack my things and move to the castle. I ran to our place in a abandon building Danial had found over the time I was training, to tell the good news.
"When I got there, Danial was talking to adults, one with fiery red hair in braids, and the other had black hair. They turned to me as I entered and the woman hugged me and I was rushed with memories and strangly the scent of olives filled the air around me. The woman said that she was our mother, and the man our father. You wouldn't believe how shocked I was when that happened."
Chibi Usa nodded as she watched the girl with interest and was about to say something when Alexis continued.
"Danial then said that we were going home and I was happy for maybe I could be complete now that we were back together again."
Flashback
Alexis hung on to her mother afraid that she would disappear again as Danial said they would go home. He was beaming, but Alexis was frowning.
"What is wrong?" The woman asked.
She looked at the ground and pulled away from her mother and said with sadness in her voice. "That's the thing, I can't go, I was made a handmaiden. I have to stay to serve the her majesty, Neo Queen Chibi Usa."
The woman frowned deeply as did the man. They looked at each other as the man straightened up, "Then you will serve the queen until her daughter takes her place. Then you can come home. Your brother will stay to accompany you."
Alexis sighed and looked up at the man. "I don't know how long that will be I might never see you." She then looked to Danial who was looking at their mother sadly. "We just found each other again, and just because I'm tied down to duty doesn't mean Danial can't come with you."
"Yes, but then you will be lonely, and I can't do that to my daughter. I know what it was like to be lonely, until your father found me and we fell in love." The woman said then walked over to Alexis hugging her again, as a pink butterfly flew by and circled around the two.
As the red head woman pulled away the butterfly landed in Alexis's hand and turned into a pen. "Your the only heir to my family so inside you is a great power, this pen will help you to control it, and protect you." The woman then pulled something out of her dress, it turned out to be a locket and she tied it around Alexis's neck. "This will explain everything. When you are ready hold the lock tight think about me and I will know that you are ready to come home." She hugged her daughter tightly once more.
The man also handed Danial a pen. "Here son, take this it will help you. You also have a hidden power, but you must unlock." He looked at his son and daughter. "Stay together you two, no matter what, and know that we always loved you never meant for you to get seperated."
Then the two took hands and teleported away, in a flash of butterflies and light.
End of Flashback
"It has been awhile now, but my mom and dad are still waiting." Alexis muttered.
Chibi Usa thought for a moment there were some things the girl wasn't telling her, but she respected Alexis's privacy. "That might be difficult, because my daughter seems attached to you. I know my daughter and she will be upset when you leave."
Alexis nodded. "I'm sure, but I need to visit my parents. Maybe I might come back. I mean this life hasn't been boring, being a handmaiden. Including the fact that I'm one of the Moon's handmaidens. I know for certain that Mercury has up to 12 handmaidens and Mars has none."
Chibi Usa laughed glad that the subject changed. "Well Palla Palla likes to have company, even though when she was younger she wasn't very smart so that many is good for her. Jun Jun, well for Mars she always acted too tough for that, kind of thing."
Alexis took a deep breath she knew the next thing she was about to bring up might be too bold, but she had to get it off her chest. "Chibi Usa, I hope you won't get rid of me for asking this, but I have to know." She then sighed. "Everyone is questioning why Kari's scout training hasn't begun. I know I'm a simple handmaiden, but I hear everybody whispering about it, I've even been pulled over by people when running errands, asking about the young princess."
Chibi Usa shook her head and almost looked like she was going to cry. " You are being bold for asking this, but don't spread this around we are already ashamed of it. She can't become a scout, the reason is because of her heiritage. You see she is half Pegasus and it is already a risk for her even now, if we give her the scout powers, I'm afraid she might become a full Pegasus, then she will have to go to the Dream World forever." The queen then put her face in her hands. "Helios and I have been looking for the Earth knight with enough power to protect her, but there haven't been any signs yet."
Alexis watched Chibi Usa sadly, wondering if maybe her brother might be the one. If he was, maybe that was the power her father talked about. If that was true, then what part did she have to play in all this. She looked around for any sign of him, they had to talk. Suddenly a noise entered her ears as something flew overhead. A memory suddenly hit her as she looked for the noise and object, it sounded familar. No, not that....
Sorry I know cliffhanger, you have found out a bit information about Alexis, the mysterious handmaiden, and the mysterious knight Danial, if you don't know who their parents are I will be very surpised, but you can leave you guess's in the reviews. As I said let me know if you like this story.
