Part 2
As the King called the meeting to order, everyone present took his or her seats.
Doing so, I looked to everyone and could only see the changes we have undergone. We have changed so much and still we believe ourselves to be the same.
Rei, though still hot tempered, has become more reserved and levelheaded. She ended up marrying Chad, after she forced him to get a hair cut first. They had twins who turned 5 earlier this year.
Minako, who married Andrew, has now taken her role as leader seriously. One would have never guessed that she was such a strategic person. They have a beautiful 6-year-old girl.
Ami is still shy and smart. Out of all of us, she's changed the least. Only difference is she doesn't carry a book everywhere she goes now. Greg and their daughter make sure that she has fun.
Earth, known as Tiera, who we found to be some distant relative to Endymion from the past, has become quite a loyal senshi. With her husband Paul dead, she raised her 8-yr. old son and 6 yr. old daughter with much devotion.
Sailor Sun also known as Eos, was the last of the inner soldiers that we found. We never imagined there to be a sun senshi, let alone a civilization there. With Sun found, the circle was completed and the rise of Crystal Tokyo was able to proceed. She just recently married.
Haruka and Michiru married and had three children aging 8, 12, and 13. The wonders of magic is all I can say.
Hotaru turned into a lovely young lady full of joy. After the deep sleep she seemed to lose her frailty and weakness. She married a man named Rokan and have a beautiful 4-yr. old girl.
Setsuna still guards the gates of time, but gets vacation time with one of us substituting for her. It was on one of these vacations that she came back pregnant. No one knows who the father is since she refuses to mention him. She has a beautiful 10 yr old whom, is like a daughter to me.
Then there's me. Makoto. I have become what has been destined of me; a warrior, a leader, and a princess. The only princess, for I can not be queen until I take a life mate. I have returned to my post as the leader of the outer senshi and second in command of the solar senshi.
As expected we have gained the remainder of our powers and mastered them. I unexpectedly received a vast amount more than my fellow senshi. I have asked Pluto what this meant, but her answers have always been no more but riddles.
"Attention! Serenity is attending chibi-usa and will not be joining us." announced Endymion. "Now, for the reason we are all here, Greg, will you please tell everyone else what you have told me."
"As you well know, Mercury and I have been going through old files stored in the power computer on Mercury. We have now just begun to decipher the passwords." Answered Greg.
"Recently, we have opened some files which contain rather interesting facts." Continued Mercury. "But I'm sure Pluto already knows what I'm talking about, don't you Pluto?" Mercury turned towards the time mistress, who kept her gaze, but revealed nothing.
"What is she talking about Pluto?" asked Uranus.
"It seems that even though Crystal Tokyo was able to be created, our circle is still not complete." Answered Greg. "There are still five missing."
"What does this have to do with us?" Asked Mars. "What is so important about these five? We already have all the royal present."
Giving a quick glance toward Greg, Mercury pushed a few buttons on her computer, making a hologram appear at the center of the table.
The hologram showed a young man with prussian blue colored eyes and messy moss-brown hair.
"This is Prince Hermes of Mercury." Said Ami. "My brother."
Ignoring the gasps and stares from her fellow queens, Ami pushed a few more buttons, shifting the hologram to show another young man with a tight looking pony tail and stern eyes.
"This is Prince Ares of Mars. Rei's twin brother."
The Hologram shifted to the picture of another young man with violet eyes and a long braid.
"This is Prince Areimanios. Saturn's older brother."
Again the picture shifted to reveal an angelic young man with blond hair and turquoise eyes.
"Meet Prince Ani, Haruka's younger brother."
The picture shifted one last time, showing an emerald eyed young man with brown hair that mysteriously covered half his face.
"And this is Prince Jove, older brother to Makoto."
Silence. All they could do was watch as the hologram faded.
It was Rei who eventually disturbed the eerie silence, slamming her hand against the table. "How could this be? We have received all our memories, and in none have I ever recalled a brother."
"That is true, but are you sure that your memories are all complete?" asked Greg. "We assumed that because you all remembered more of what went on at the time of the Silver Millennium, that all your memories had been returned."
"How do you know that they are indeed missing these facts from their memories Greg?" asked Andrew.
"Ami was distraught at seeing she has a brother, but no memories she can recall. So I asked her to meditate and remember all she could from her past life as I probed her mind."
"It seems that I have a rather powerful block placed on me." Continued Ami. "With Setsuna's power signature."
Eyes turned to Pluto, some waiting for answers, others with questions.
"Setsuna, explain yourself?" demanded Endymion. "Not only have you blocked out important memories, but have used magic on your fellow senshi and friends."
"All I can say is that it wasn't time for you all to remember. It would be unfair for you to recall your brothers and not be able to see them."
"Why wouldn't we be able to see them Setsuna?" asked Hotaru. "Are they dead?"
"No. They are in another dimension plagued with warfare. They were needed there to ensure the outcome of peace." Sighing Setsuna continued, "I'm sorry you all feel betrayed, but I'd do it again if I have to."
The room roared with angry voices.
"Quiet everyone!" demanded Endymion with a lift of his hand. "Makoto, you have yet to say anything. As leader of the outers, what do you intend to do?"
I had stayed quiet through this whole ordeal. I couldn't believe it. I have a brother. An older brother. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the hologram, not even when it vanished.
I can feel everyone's anger, especially from those who now gained brothers. Mar's fiery wrath; Mercury's frosty anger; Saturn's silent fuming; Uranus's turbulent fury. Then there's me, what do I feel. I looked to Endymion at the mention of my name.
"Makoto, you have yet to say anything. As leader of the outers, what do you intend to do?"
Sighing, I returned my gaze to Setsuna. "I can not say I'm not angry, because I am. It is disappointment that supercedes my anger."
Standing, I turned away from the others, toward the window. "All this time, pouring out my feelings to you about family," Quickly turning around, eyes flashing black-green. "Did you think it was some sick joke!"
"No!" Setsuna yelled back, standing and slamming her hands onto the table. "Do you think it was easy for me to stay quiet with everything you told me! Do you think I didn't want to ease your heart and mind by telling you not to feel bad, that you do have a brother! You don't know how many times I came this close to go against my duty!"
It was a sight to see for it wasn't often that the Queen of Pluto lost it.
Closing my eyes, I willed myself to calm down. Nothing will be accomplished if anger took control. Walking back to the table, I lifted my hand to motion Setsuna to sit. "As I said, it is disappointment that supercedes my anger. As for what I intend to do, nothing."
"What do you mean nothing!" yelled Haruka, knocking her chair over as she stood angrily. "If it were anyone else there would have been hell to pay!"
"For once I agree with Haruka. You can't possibly be serious in not doing anything about this!" agreed Rei. "She used magic on us, her family!"
"I am not condoning what she did Rei, but I also can't punish her for doing her duty!"
"Enough!" yelled Mina. "Arguing won't solve this situation." She then turned to Pluto. "Now that they know, remove the block."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"The block was formulated so that it will crumble when your brothers remember you."
"So then, we need to make them remember. We need a plan. Any suggestions?" Endymion asked.
"You will need to go to the dimension they're in and find them." Stated Rokan.
"I agree with Rokan." Stated Eos.
"As do I." Said Tiera.
"Now the question is who will go. We all possibly can't." Andrew said.
"Simple, the five with broth-"
"Only one of you can go." Interrupted Setsuna before Greg could finish.
"Now what." Muttered Haruka as she once again took her seat.
Shushing her mate Michiru turned to Sets, "Why can only one go?"
"As I said, it is a dimension that has been plagued in warfare for too long. I know you all too well and I know that one of you will cause a riot, but five of you there will cause a whole new war."
"Thanks for the confidence Pluto." Remarked Eos with a sneer.
"But you can't deny the fact I speak the truth." replied Setsuna. "You and Tiera can be as bad as Haruka and Makoto when you put your mind to it."
"Aawww, was that a compliment from the mature senshi to us childish senshi." Teased Tiera as she coyly leaned forward onto her hand.
"I would take it as one, since you probably won't get another in another thousand years." Drawled Rei.
"Alright, that's enough." Interrupted Mina. "We need to decide who will go."
"I should go, I'm the most level headed." Said Ami.
"I'm afraid not, you need to finish getting into those files." Answered Endymion.
"Then I'll go." Said Rei.
"Are you Kidding! Now you alone would cause a war." Replied Venus.
"And if Rei can cause a war, then Haruka wouldn't be far behind, so that rules you out love." Responded Michiru as she patted her wife's arm.
"Gee thanks for the faith." Haruka mumbled.
"I'm also ruled out. I'm still getting over my flu." Said Hotaru.
"That only leaves Makoto." Finished Andrew.
"Dear goddess, she won't cause a war, she'd end the world." Groaned Eos.
Smiling, I turned to Eos, "Why don't you shove a solar flare up yo-"
"Then its settled, Makoto will be the one to go." Interrupted Endymion before it got nasty. "This meeting is adjourned."
"What! Hey! Krisialketu!" I swore in Jupitan.
"Now, now Mako-chan," chided Mina as she wagged her finger at me. "You won't get anywhere with an attitude like that. You know what they say, you can catch more butterflies with vinegar!"
Everyone sweat dropped. Andrew just banged his head onto the table muttering.
"Whatever." I got up to leave and pack.
"I'll meet you at the gates." Setsuna said before doing what she does best, disappearing.
Having gotten everything I believe to need, I left. At the gates everyone came to see me off. I went to Serenity and hugged her.
"Good luck my friend." Serenity said with a smile.
"Thank you my Queen."
Looking towards Pluto I awaited any last instructions.
"Remember, they have a glamour on them, so you must trigger an emotion for power to be released and their memories restored."
"Got it."
"You will be sent to possible dimensions in which they could be located. You will have three months in each dimension then sent to another until you locate them. Good luck."
"Thanks."
Heading out I was stopped by Eos's childish condescending voice. "Now be a good little girl in your new dimension and play nice with the other little kiddies."
"And don't forget to say your pleases and thank you's." continued a grinning Haruka. "Wouldn't want them thinking were uncivilized now would we?"
Frowning, I turned to Pluto. "Are you sure they're not related, because the similarity in idiocy is uncanny."
Before the two in question could respond, Jupiter was unceremoniously pushed through the doors.
Astonished, all eyes turned toward the culprit and gasped, some stifling giggles.
"Oops! Heh, Heh. Gotta watch that first step." Ami said with a not so innocent smile.
Criticism and praise both welcomed.
