Ch.6~New Powers and Planning
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The senshis have been training for a whole lot of weeks now.Before they knew it,it has been some lot of months already. They were ready for anything now. Little did they know,Valsoul(remember him from the last part of chap.2? Well he's back!!!!!) was planning on destroying the senshis by bringing forth the legendary Millennium Hunters to vanquish them.
~~~~~~~~~~Inside Valsoul's chambers~~~~~~~~~~
Valsoul was underground in his grusome chambers doing some magic spells in a BIG pot. When he was done,mixing up the ingredients,he put a glass amulet in the pot and after awhile,he took it out. The crystal in the center of the amulet began to glow green and darkness began to emmit into it. He crackled evily and wore the amulet around his neck and proceed with his plans to destroy the senshis. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every since their 'break', Valsoul's army of youmas were increasing their strengths. The senshis practically survived the last blast from them. So they got some help from Neo-Queen Serenity.
" Your Majesty"said the senshis and the advisors(Luna and Artemis). She nodded and they stood up. "Mama,why have you come here?"asked Rini. " I've asked Setsuna to let me to look at what you're doing and she told me that Valsoul is growing in power at this very minute"said Serenity.
" I've managed to use my Sliver Crystal to make new transformation henshins for you all. You will have the same transformations as Usagi. But you Usagi will have something slight different. You will still keep your wings though."explained Serenity. Then,the henshins appeared above the senshis and they caught it easily.
"May all of you please exit the room? I have something to discuss with Usagi"requested Serenity as everyone except her and Usagi exited the room.
" What do you want to discuss about,Your Majesty?"asked Usagi. " Please cut the 'Your Majesty' part out. I myself absoutely *hate* being called by formalities. Please just call me Serenity"said Serenity. " It won't be right at all. You are the Queen of the Universe. I must address you as that"said Usagi. " Then, I order you to call me Serenity"said Serenity. Usagi hestitated then she nodded.
Usagi repeated her early question. " I know that you broke up with Mamo-chan"said Serenity. " I knew that he couldn't have been Rini's father after I found out that he didn't love me anymore. You only married him because of a contract made by our mother,Queen Serenity and the people of Earth to have peace by marrying us off."said Usagi sighing because after she and Mamoru broked up,Luna told her about the contract that Queen Serenity made in the Sliver Alliance/Millennium. (I'm calling it the Sliver Millennium,k.)
"I've got a question,Serenity"said Usagi. " I know what you're going to ask"said Serenity. Who wouldn't? She's Usagi's future self. She knows what she's thinking.
" I can't tell you who your real lover yet. If I told you,it'll ruin the future. But I'll tell you that he's very close to you. You both will have to face the dangers ahead that Valsoul planned for you alone. Only your love for eachother can survive this. Valsoul only wants you,Usagi. If he's trying to revive our mother,he'll need your powers. He can't enter the future but he can enter the present."said Serenity.
" Which means our time. Then he's going to need the-"said Usagi then gasped. Serenity nodded. "Yes,he's going to need the Sliver Crystal's powers to accomplish his mission. He also have a new powerful source. It can only be destriyed if his powers grow stronger with the weapon that is helping him"said Serenity. "I don't understand"said Usagi quirking her head. "You'll know soon enough"said Serenity.
"But I've only got little time until I fade away. Setsuna have given me enough time to enter the past. Here's your new transformation henshin"said Serenity handing it to her. " Say'Moon Celestial Power'"said Serenity. Usagi nodded. "MOON CELESTIAL POWER! MAKE UP!"cried Usagi. She was lifed into the air.
Her beautiful wings were still there. But somethings changed in her outfit. Her skirt was a bit shorter and all the colors of the planets were on there with different layers of it. Starting with the color white. The bow on the back was light pink almost white. Her Her gloves were the same. Her sleeves weren't puffy anymore.The top was like a no sleeve spagetti strap. The straps were like a v shape. The bow on the front was like the one on the back. The center of it was her new brooch. Her boots were the same. Instead of a golden cresent moon on her forehead,it was a white moon to show her that she will be queen soon. (A/N~But when she becomes queen,the moon will turn back to golden yellow.) The ribbon on her back is very long. The same hair clips are on her head. Her earrings were the same. Instead of a wand,she had a long white staff a golden heart under a golden moon.(Just like her old transformation henshin if you're confuse) It had wings coming out of it. Every color of the planets jewels were on it lined down the staff.
When the transformation was done,Neo Sailor Moon looked in awe how her transformation made her look more mature and beautiful. Serenity looked proud of her.
" I never had a chance to try out that outfit but I'm glad that you have. But please send the senshis my regards and good luck. Oh,yes tell them to say their planets name and then'eternal power'.Tell Rini to don't go home so fast.There are some secrets she still have to find out.Send her my love. Her transformation words will be 'Moon Heaven Power'. Her transformation clothes will be the same as the other senshis but she'll have her final transformation when the time is right. I'm very proud of you. You've grown so much and more mature"said Serenity smiling as she faded away. Usagi nodded and sent her a smile of farewell.
When she came out of the room,everyone stared at her in atonishment. " What!"said Usagi looking at them if they were crazy. " Is that your new outfit?"asked Venus. " Yes,Serenity told me to tell you guys to say your planets' names and then ' eternal power'. Oh,and Rini say 'Moon Heaven Power "said Usagi repeating what Serenity told her.
The girls nodded and followed the instructions. They held up their new henshin and...... "MOON HEAVEN POWER!"
"SATURN ETERNAL POWER!"
"URANUS ETERNAL POWER!"
"NEPTUNE ETERNAL POWER!"
"VENUS ETERNAL POWER!"
"JUPITER ETERNAL POWER!"
"MARS ETERNAL POWER!"
"MERCURY ETERNAL POWER!"
" MAKE UP!!!" Their eternal forms were like Sailor Moon's eternal forms with their planet colors,gloves,sleeves,boots,etc. They had wings with the tint of their planets colors. Their wings weren't as big as Sailor Moon's, they were a bit smaller than hers. In the middle of their bow on the front was a star instead of a heart. Instead of their tiaras,they had their home planets on their foreheads.
They like Sailor Moon,stood in awe of their clothes. Suddenly,Sailor Pluto appeared. Her clothes were like the other senshis too. "Sailor Pluto!"said the senshis and the adivisors going to greet her. "Hello,senshis,Luna,Artemis. Her Majesty send me to help you all for the dangers you will face. I will be going to the school that Luna and Artemis are going to but I'll be in a grade higher than theirs. "said Setsuna. "That's great! We never get the chance to see you anymore"said Mars. Pluto smiled and de-transform. The others also de-transformed. " We've got plenty of rooms here. You can stay here. My parents pay all of the rent and other stuff"said Usagi. " Thank you. "said Setsuna.They all went to catch up on old times.
~~~~~~~~At the Ishtars' Mansion~~~~~~~~
" Aren't you two EVER going to get your lazy butt up from playing video games all day and night?"asked Ishizu popping her head from the kitchen as she scolded them.
" No WAY!"was her only replied from the two boys trying to kill the heck out of eachother in video games. Then,the phone rang. Ishizu picked it up. " Hello,Ishtar' Mansion."said Ishizu.
" Oh hey,Ishizu. Can I speak to your brother?"asked Bakura. " Which one? The annoying one or killing everyone one?"asked Ishizu sarcastically. Bakura had to chuckle at that. " I think I want the killing everyone one"said Bakura. "Sure,"said Ishizu.
" Marik,come here. Bakura's on the phone"called Ishizu. Then she heard him banging everything and saying a colorful language. " Marik,stop breaking my living room"called Ishizu. He then came into the room and took the phone from Ishizu.
"You sure have a bad time to call you know!"said Marik loudly into the phone. " You think every time is bad!"said Bakura in a matter-of-factly voice. " Whatever,why did you call?"asked Marik. " No reason,I called for nothing"said Bakura hanging up. "Huh!"said Marik having a sweatdrop. " That was wierd"said Marik putting the phone back on the reciever.
" Hurry up,I can't play this alone!"cried Malik from the living room. " All right,I'm coming. You can't live without video games can you?"asked Marik saying the last sentence sarcastically. "Neither can you"said Malik going back to the screen. " I can too! I have a lot more things to do and want that is *not* video games."said Marik hotly. " Like for example. You want Haruka to be your girlfriend"said Malik snickering. This was one of the things that can make Marik shut up.
" Ah ha! So you do like her"said Malik. " If you say this to anyone,I'll kill you"said Marik threatenly. If Marik threatens you,he'll do it. " If you want to know what a girl wants you have to take some advice from somebody"said Malik. " Like who? You!"said Marik raising an eyebrow. " I had some girlfriends before you know and I intend to not let Ami go"said Malik because it's so obvious that he likes Ami.
"Fine then,what do I do?"asked Marik. "Step 1-*WHACK* Malik had whacked him with his Millennium Rod. - get to know her better"said Malik. " Step 2-*WHACK* buy something she likes". " Step 3- * WHACK* give her hints that you like her". " Step 4-*WHACK* show her that you like her for herself not her looks and anything like that". " Step 5-*WHACK* (Poor Marik,I'm soooo evil.Well,bare with him) try to ask her on dates. If she says no,give some reasons or keep asking until she gets sick of it."
Poor Marik now has a LOT of bumps on his head on top of each other. Malik was going to whack him again to add to the bumps' pile but Marik the Millennium Rod before it hit him. " Say the reasons and stop WHACKING me"said Marik staring Malik straight in the eye.
"And besides,this is mine"said Marik hitting Malik on the head with the Millennium Rod. Now a bump started to form on MALIK'S head. " Hey,that's mine"said Malik grabbing it from Marik and hitting him with it.
" No,it's mine "said Marik grabbing it from him and hitting it on him. "Mine"said Malik grabbing it from him and hitting it with him. "Mine!" "No,mine!" " I found it so it's mine!" " So! I'm the original owner. So it's mine!" " You died along with this. I'm the next person that should take it!" " It was past down from my family so it's mine!" " So I'm your descentant. Then why would you think that I *look* like you!" " Your point is what! I'm the elder so I should take it!" " But you got a new body than your old one. That makes you the same age as me!" " But my wisdom is greater!" " You died the same age as me!" "So,I'm still older!" "Your so-call 'wisdom' is the same as me!" " Your EGO is bigger!" " You were the one that mostly took over my body in the past. So YOU'RE the one with the bigger EGO!!" They kept doing it until both of the boys' head had a line of bumps straight up on their poor heads. (See,the Millennium Rod is dangerous!!! :pretending in a teacherly voice: Kids should not be hitting eachother. Audience: But YOU wrote it!!!: Oh well,hee hee. lol nervously!!! Don't kill me!!!!!)
They FINALLY went to quits. They went back to the 'problem' that Marik had. " I thought you like the Yuni girl from our history class"said Malik.
" Whoever gave that idea. Do you know that her perfume stinks up the whole place. I can't even stand being in a room with her for a second. She keeps bothering me and asking me out. Even Yami(He stopped calling him the pharoah a LONG time ago.),Bakura,Jou,Seto,Otogi,and Yugi are getting problems from the 'high class' girls in class. But Seto just scare them off about his company will threaten her if she keeps bothering him. But they don't have a brain and just don't listen"said Marik chuckling how he saw Seto scare off a girl the other day.
"I know that even you get those problems too"said Marik. "Yeah,but Ami's been tutoring me and that's an excuse for them leaving me alone"said Malik. " Did you use your so-call'steps' to show her your feelings about her?"asked Marik.
" I'm still on Step 1 because she has a lot of secrets"said Malik. " How about going to the pool with her. I heard that she likes swimming"suggested Marik. "Hey,good idea. Thanx bro"said Malik hurrying to the phone to call Ami. " You owe me the trip to the arcade"called Marik over his shoulders. " Fine,whatever"came his replied. Marik layed down on the couch and slepted thinking about how to tell his feelings for a certain tomboy girl. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Well,that's the end of Ch.6. Did you like it? The planning was about how to let Haruka know that Marik likes her. Well,g2g!!! PLEASE REVIEW!!! JA!!!!~Anime Star Angel aka Nancy
