A/N Hey readers! I've been doing this story long enough. I've got to do
my other stories that I thought of. Now in this chapter, Amethysia and
Aquarius have a part to play. I didn't forget them. Gomen,if there aren't
much humor. They're in the heat of battle right now,if you know what I
mean.
Ch.23: Memories of the Past Unravel
A pink puff of hair laid on the the cold,cement floor,unmoving. "mmf,"said something from underneath the hair. A girl of fourteen lifted her head as her crimson red eyes was still struggling to open.
Her eyes adjusted and the heaviness was gone,she opened them fully. She craned her neck to look around her. Dark,was all she could describe the room. A four, square shape room with metal bars on the front.
She examined the room. Clean,no cracks in the wall meaning that this was new. Tiles on the ground and wall fit perfectly. No signs of any disgusting pile of anything anywhere. Realization hit her as she looked around the room. Fear strickened her face. "I'm in a cell!"she cried as her voice crescendo with each word.
Starlights and SailorMoon's Location
Sailor Moon closed her eyes in mid way and shielded it from the light with her arms. The Starlights did the same. The accleration of them changed and suddenly went faster.
Sailor Senshis
The teens were still taking refuge in the cave. Grrrrrrrrooorroo grumbled Jou's stomach. Jou sighed in aggravation. " I'm so hungry! The least Valsoul can do is to leave us some food." cried Jou in his Brooklyn accent.
" Quiet,mutt. You don't think other people around you are starving. We all haven't eaten for two days."Said Seto in an icy tone as he sent Jou a death glare. They had all taken food with them for the first three days. But the other two days,the storage of the food was gone.
" Silence,both of you. You can't settle your hunger by bickering"said Pluto as she came in between the two.
"Pluto's right. Animals live in the desert. There must be food for them to eat. Plants grow anywhere and fruits grow on plants,trees whatever. We just haven't started to search for it yet"said Uranus as she got into her serious tone.
" Uranus is right. We won't be able to concentrate at the task at hand" said Saturn as she stood up to the two guys.
" I can't think whenever you two are bickering endlessly. I'll find food."said Marik.
"Uranus,go and help. More people can finish the job quicker"said Venus as she looked upon the tomboyish senshi.
Uranus nodded and went to catch up with Marik.
Almost 10 minutes passed and everyone was exhausted from traveling so they decided to doze off. But when Mars was about to close her eyes. A bright light from above was shining down on her eyelids making it impossible to sleep. She looked above her and three cough cough,people fell from the center source of the light.
Unfortunely for her,a certain blond headed figure just happened to fall on her while the others,landed on the ground.
"Ahhhhhhh!"cried Sailor Moon as her voice quieted down to a "mmf" when she landed hard on Mars.
" Ugh! Watch where you fall,Odango Atama!"shrieked Mars as she struggled to get up. Then realization hit her of who she just spoke to.
" Usagi!"cried Mars as she hugged Sailor Moon fiercely.
" Gee,that was a weird way to greet me,Pyro. First you yell at me,then you hug me."joked Sailor Moon as she hugged her friend back.
Everyone else was awoken by Mars' cry of joy. They hurried over to see Sailor Moon as they reintroduced the Starlights to the guys and girls.
Where Marik and Uranus are
The duo were walking when Uranus spoked up. " I'll look there and you look here"said Uranus as she walked off on her own.
Both walked on to their own direction and didn't speak to eachother while they were finding food.
Uranus was walking for awhile and she narrowed her eyes to see if anything that looks like food in the distance.
She didn't see anything that fits the description. She kept walking and she was looking from right to left repeatedly,until she spotted what she was looking for.
Under a tall and gangly looking cactus,she spotted a small bush that were mostly cover by red berries. She hurried over to it and took out a bag she had taken with her.
She began picking them when she heard a snap vaguely above her. The cactus was in a dangerous brink of falling over. Which means on her.
Everything had happened too fast for her to react. The cactus was falling fast. She was going to summon an attack at the last minute but the cactus was nearing fast and she wouldn't have enough time to shot an attack at the green plant.
A blur of darkish-white shot in her of her and the next thing she knew,she was sprawled on the sand. " Are you horrendously crazy?! "Marik cried as he stood up.
Uranus was shocked and unable to move. She was white as a sheet of paper. 'Marik just saved me. How come I didn't reacted? I could've save myself. Why didn't I clear my mind and thought about saving myself.'Uranus asked herself as she pondered on to many possiblities.
'Either way,I couldn't save myself. I had my attack ready. Why didn't I attack the stupid f&%ing cactus?!'thought Uranus.
While Uranus was busy thinking. Marik was jabbering about something that she couldn't hear because she was too deep in thought to notice.
When Uranus was pulled back to reality,Marik was still talking.
" How can you go under something that's huge and it was about to fall on you? You haven't been using your head ever since we came here.-"said Marik as he continued on. Uranus swallowed her pride and said,"Thank you for saving me".
Marik continued on and stopped as he heard what she said. "What did you say?"asked Marik,incredously.
" I said thank you and I don't want to say it again."said Uranus as she stood up to dust herself off.
Marik narrowed his eyes and looked at her. "All of a sudden,you're different. You just said thank you to me. I know you won't like to say something nice to me except for the sake of everyone."said Marik.
"I don't feel or act differently,"said Uranus as she walked ahead.
But Marik grabbed her hand,making her halt.
" Why have you been avoiding me for awhile?"Marik asked as his tone changed to a different matter.
" What reason do I have for it?"Uranus asked,pulling her hand back and headed out to the cave once more.
Marik just stood there,silent. He growled lightly. " She's denying herself"he said,going the opposite direction to find food.
Uranus' POV
Why have I been avoiding him? A.) Because I felt like it B.) I'm confused C.) I'm afraid of him D.) I fear love
Well, it's not choice A. At least I don't think so. I'm not afraid of him,so that cancels out choice C. I'm not as confused as before but that doesn't mean that I understand this whole situation.
Choice D,now that's a thought to wonder about. Do I fear love? I don't drive my friends away. Well,not like before,at least.
From my family members? No,Michi is my best friend and I never neglected her nor ignored her before.I always tell her if anything's bothering me. Vice-versa for her,too. Our other family members are either dead or don't live in Japan.
My parents was long gone from my life as long as I can remember. I had lived with my aunt and Michi for my whole life before encountering Senshi life. Well, with Michi now since auntie died.
How about Marik? I don't know anymore. I just want someone to love me for just who I am. Not a facade I have to put up with. Is that so wrong to ask?! Or do I really am afraid of being loved by someone?
I'll find that out later. I don't have any answers right now to complete my questions. Better just wait and think some more.
End of Uranus' POV
Sailor Senshis
Uranus's eyes were casted onto the ground as her eyelids were in midway. It could've been because she was maybe thinking too hard. She was,in fact,getting sleepy.
She knew that she was nearing the cave because she heard chattering of everyone. One voice she could defintely identified in the cluster of voices. Usagi's. Hope filled her heart.'The voice sounds like Bunny's. Maybe she came back while I was gone'Uranus thought as she trailed off. She ran all the way back to the cave.
Truth to be told,it was Usagi's voice she heard. Sailor Moon was talking happily to everyone around her. Uranus walked silently to the cave's mouth.
Sailor Moon's head was turned away from her so she couldn't see the silent figure. The others had seen her walking up so they stopped talking. They wanted Sailor Moon to know that Uranus was here.
"What's wrong?'Sailor Moon asked as she tilted her head and she turned her head to look at what or 'ahem', who they were looking at.
Her eyes lighted up to a pale cerulean color when she saw Uranus. "Ruka-chan!"she cried as her and Sailor Uranus embraced.
They let go of eachother and began to talk. "When did you get back?"Uranus asked. "A few minutes ago.The Starlights and I escaped Valsoul through a portal."explained Sailor Moon.
"Starlights? They're here?"Uranus inquired as she scan the room to see any new senshis who weren't here before. Sure enough,she found them.
The all nodded to her as in silently greeting her. They weren't all in best terms with eachother. Uranus nodded back. "Where's Yami,Chibi Moon and Helious? What happened to them?"asked Uranus.
The light from Sailor Moon's eyes disappeared and only to be replaced by stormy clouds of blue. Uranus noticed the sad look on her face,"Did something horrible happened to them?".
Sailor Moon swallowed the sadness and held back her tears,"They got captured by Valsoul. Yami and Helious is currently trapped in Valsoul's amulet. Valsoul stole Rini's energy away and now I'm assuming she's trapped somewhere in his castle".Sailor Moon finally said as she calmed herself down.
A mixture of emotions was written all over everyone's face- sadness,sympatheism,anger,frightened,and worries. The look of sadness was washed away from Sailor Moon's face. Instead,a look of determination suddenly overcame her face.
She stood up and looked at everyone,"We can't sit around and not do anything about it"she said as the fighting spirit in her returned.A flare of invisible fire appeared in her eyes as she said that.
Everyone didn't have to answer to let Sailor Moon know. The look on their faces were the answer.
Maker was the first one to speak in the quiet cave where everyone shared a silent conversation with the eyes. " We should use the portal that we just came out of. It's quicker to go. The Moon Sword might be helpful while we face Valsoul,Sailor Moon."said Maker as he mentioned the sacred sword.
All of the planetarian senshis ears perked up. Especially Venus's. "Moon Sword?"she inquired.
"Where did you get it?"asked Jupiter.
" When?"asked Saturn.
" It shouldn't be here.This place is of evil"said Mercury.
Everyone of the Inner and Outer Senshis bombarded her with questions.
"Alright,alright! If you all shut up, I would explain"said Sailor Moon as she waved her arms around.
She took a deep breath and started to explain from the beginning to the end. Of course, the rest of the uninformed people would like to know,too. So they crowded around Sailor Moon to hear about it.
Aquarius and Amethysia are
"Queen Serenity has been awakened"said Aquarius, not looking up from what he was doing. He must had gotten the message from Valsoul. " Lord Valsoul wants us to meet her".
" So soon? Doesn't he want the queen to let her mind at rest first. He did brainwash her and twisted her memories around"said Amethysia as she raised her eyebrows in question.
"Probably not. Good thing that he is not here to have heard what you said about him. Are you going to surprise him?"Aquarius asked.
Amethysia thought about it for a moment and nodded. " He took the thing that I treasure most from me,my memories."said Amethysia as she had the look of hatred upon her face.
Flashback
"Why did Lord Valsoul have us do again?"asked Amethysia as she had this tired,bored look on her face. Of course,she knew what was the task already but it seemed pointless to her.
Aquarius sighed,"We have to check on Queen Serenity,".
"Shouldn't that be a lower servant's job? That isn't normally our duty."said Amethysia as she turned her head towards Aquarius' direction.
"We have to run scans before her restoration is complete"said Aquarius. 'Though I have to agree. It is for a lowly servant's job.'he thought. Though he didn't want Amethysia to hear what he thought.
Both of the generals kept walking down the continuing hallway aimlessly until they came to a pitch black door with golden yellow static surrounding its perimeter.
Amethysia reached up to the door and was going to touch it with her pointer finger,before it reached the surface of the door, her finger came to a invisible surface and she entered a code of some sort. The static eventually died down and the door disappeared,allowing them entrance.
She and Aquarius entered the room. Pitch black,just like the door itself. The only light shedding through the room was a hole on the ceiling, which was casting its glow on the queen.
Some sort of contraption was surrounding her. Made from a special sort of concrete or stone. Claw-like designs made from the same kind of concrete/stone. It was a part of the contraption. A force of energy was going through the tunnel of the claw-like design.
" If we're going to check on her, we'll have to let more light in"Aquarius said, with a flick of his wrist,the pitch black room became bright.
" Now to work this contraption"said Amethysia as she wiggled her fingers and a rush of violet energy swirled around her hands.The tunnel of energy in the claw-like designs were silver.Which shows that it's Queen Serenity's aura. It was currently absorbing Queen Serenity's energy away.
She placed her hands in the field of energy and her mind was in Serenity's memories. Images flew in her head and then a somewhat familiar image made her stopped short. It was her. She was in Queen Serenity's memories!
'That's impossible! I've never seen her in my life except today. I've never talked to her before. Why would I be in her memories?'thought Amethysia as her face was covered with confusion.
'To find out,I''ll have to go further'thought Amethysia as she pressed further in the Queen's memories.But unfortunely,someone interupted her.
"Amethysia?"said Aquarius as he sent a glance towards Amethysia's direction. To him, Amethysia looked like she was in a deep trance.Deeper than what other people's expressions are when they work the machine. Though he never showed emotions, he had this exception for her.
They were in common in a lot of ways and she was the only one he actucally cared for. Valsoul usually had them do the tasks together. They had a kind of tight friendship.
Aquarius snapped out of his reverie and walked over to Amethysia. "Amethysia?"he said and then he tapped on the shoulders. That snapped her out of it since she jumped.
Amethysia blinked and the trance looking eyes disappeared and to be replaced with the same red eyes again. She shooked her head to take the dizziness from her head. "Yes,Aquarius. What is it?"she asked as she turned around.
"Have you checked if the contraption is draining Queen Serenity's memories?"he asked.
"Er.. Yes,of course. The contraption is working fine."said Amethysia as she stumbled with her words. She felt guilty lying to Aquarius like that. She had placed a small,lavendar ball of energy in the flowing silver tunnel. It would stop the memory erase. Temporally.
" Well,alright. Let's go to attend to our other duties."he said as he head for the door.
"Right, I'm coming."Amethysia called after Aquarius. She walked slowly towards the door but she slowed her pace and looked back at the sleeping figure.Her eyes dropped in hesitation and worry for the queen. With all of the strength she could muster, she went out the door.
'To discover why I'm in Queen Serenity's memories, I'll have to come back again. Secretly'Amethysia confirmed in her head.
'I will solve my past.'
End of Flashback
" I never thought that you'll go back,"Aquarius said as he looked at Amethysia.
" Never thought that I had the guts to do so"she said as another flashback flooded her mind.
Flashback
Aquarius had noticed that Amethysia was acting peculiarly,especially after their visit to their soon-to-be- queen.
As both of them were walking down a hallway, Amethysia was absentmindly staring at the ground. It was a couple of hours later when they had visited the queen's current chambers.
Amethysia was still pondering in thought about the whole memory situation. She hadn't been able to go back, these past hours. Not with Aquarius with her.
She have to escape Aquarius's watchful eyes. Somehow. Well, she could try to fib that she had forgotten to check how Queen Serenity's mind was doing. Erasing a person's memories has side effects and Valsoul,of course, didn't want anything to happen to his 'love'.
" Aquarius, may you head to our quarters alone? While checking Queen Serenity's mind erasing progress, I must had forgotten to check her condition while I was add it."Amethysia said as she looked up at Aquarius.
Since they are the top generals, they share this dormitory together but they get their own rooms.
Aquarius looked down at her and raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?"
"Yes. Quite sure. Don't worry, it'll be quick" said Amethysia as she smiled at him.
" I didn't say I was worry."he said as he had a taken back look on his face. He had stumbled on his words also his eyes were looking at somewhere else.
Amethysia smiled and said, "Uh huh. Well, I don't need to hear that to know. Your expression tells me" and off she went.
Aquarius was speechless. He clearly had nothing to say.
Mind Erasing Chamber
When Amethysia entered the room once again. She breathed a sigh of relief. 'Sorry, Aquarius. But I had to'.
Her eyes were trained in the dark. She snapped her fingers and voila. The room, once again was illuminated with light.
She stepped towards the contraption and let her eyes search for the lavendar glow she had placed in the tunnel. When she had located it, her hand glowed a mixture shades of violet and she slowly slipped her hands in the tunnel. Which was a bit uncomfortable.
Once again, she was in a black void of Queen Serenity's memories. With passing images of the past flew by. Her eyes quickly scanned the pictures and spotted the one she was looking for. She reached out and grasp the image before it got out of her sight.
It was the image of when she and Queen Serenity were talking.
To skim the memory, she have to focus and enter the image to find out. So she did. She slowly placed her transparent-like hand in the image and focus.
(A/N:While entering the queen's mind,Amethysia's mind is in the queen's mind. Her body is 'see-through' or whatever you call it. Her physical body is still in the queen's chambers.)
A strong but light gale washed over her body as she entered the memory. When she opened her eyes, she was floating. Below her was Queen Serenity and herself talking. For some reason.
She flew down lower to hear their conversation.
" Lilac, are sure about this? It's too dangerous. If anything happens to me, who will watch the moon. Serenity isn't of age enough yet."Queen Serenity said as she had look of concern for the girl that looked like Amethysia.
Lilac had the same face and qualities as Amethysia. Lilac had Amethysia's magentaish-purpish hair color. Also,them both had the same red orbs as their eyes. Lilac had the same bangs and chin length extra bangs, framing their faces.
But Lilac's hair were in traditional twin buns. But she had her hair cascading down also. Lilac had an elegant, silver dress on with a light silver bow at the top. Like Queen Serenity's dress. Her dress had 2 inches off- shoulder straps on with a light silver long bow on the back. She had a simple amethyst necklace with silver high heels.
(A/N: Imagine Nakuru in CardCaptor Sakura in her true form. Lilac's hair is in the same shape. If you don't know what I'm talking about,let me know through the reviews. Hee Hee)
Lilac's eyes flashed with a determination red. " I have to, Aunt Serenity. The Moon Kingdom is at war with the Negaverse. We've also got a problem with my dear uncle Valsoul"said Violeta as she said the last part dryly.
" Yes, I know. If only these problems didn't come the same time. Of course, that's not possible. I know you want to be useful during the war. But a spy. If the enemy finds out, you'll be treason for it."Queen Serenity said as she had a little frown on her face.
Lilac shooked her head as she heard that. " I promise I'll be very careful. I know I can't grantee that I'll be safe if I can come back. But with the Negaverse problem, we of course need to defeat them. Serenity needs you as a mother to guide her with the Silver Crystal. Solving the Negaverse's problem will be easier if we find a faster way to defeat Valsoul first."
Queen Serenity took in a short breath and then exhale,"Very well. But if you know that you are discovered, come back as soon as possible.".
Lilac nodded and smiled at her aunt. Then she frowned as a thought crossed her head.
" How is Serenity and Endymion?"she asked.
Queen Serenity sighed. "Very much in love".
"But it's not as deep as the one between Serenity and Yami,right? The path of destiny will change one day when Serenity meets up with Yami once again"Lilac said as she had a serious,sure face on.
Queen Serenity nodded.
That memory ended and Amethysia's mind was pulled into another one similar.
Next memory
The next memory shown Queen Serenity in the throne room with Princess Serenity,sobbing for some reason.
Sailor Venus and Sailor Saturn were bowing down to the both of them. Both of the senshis must have delivered grave news. For why would the leader of the inner and outer senshis's leader be here at the same time.
Amethysia flew closer to hear.
Venus lifted her head and spoke with grief, "I'm truly sorry,Your Highness. Saturn and I hadn't want to be the bearer of grieving news."
Saturn lifted her head also, "But it is true. Duchess Lilac has been discover by the enemy and now is held captive. "
(A/N: Isn't the cousin of a princess/prince a duch/duchess?)
"Valsoul had also say that he would make Duchess Lilac part of his army and brainwash her"said Venus as she and Saturn had unshed tears which were gathering in their eyes. Lilac,like Serenity,was a good friend to them.
"Brainwash her?"Serenity asked as she shook her blond hair fiercely, "Only Beryl has that contraption to brainwash someone."
Venus nodded. "True, Princess. But none of the spies we have could come up with a solution to Valsoul's secrets. Only Duchess Lilac was able to."
" We must try to save Lilac before Beryl advances towards the moon. She has attacked all of the inner planets and outer planets except for the planets:Saturn, Pluto,and Earth said Queen Serenity as she directed the order to the two leaders.
"Right away,highness"both of the senshis said. They bowed solidly to the both monarchs and lefted the throne room.
That ended the memory and another came.
Final memory
Amethysia appeared again as a ghostly figure and flew downward. She recognize the room as the mind erasing chamber. Instead of Queen Serenity in the contraption,it was Lilac?!
Lilac's lavendar, kind aura in the tunnel changed to a violent plum purple aura. Valsoul was in the room and he had a sly fox smile on as he snapped his fingers, Lilac was transported out of the machine.
He magically created a bed and placed Lilac in it. He teleported himself and Lilac to a room which Amethysia find it very familar. Lilac started to wake and her eyelids were adjusting to the light in the room, "Where am I? What is this place".
"Don't you remember? Your name is Amethysia and you were injured in a battle with the moon queen.The attack must've cost you some of your memories. The aftereffects of the healing will wear off soon."he said.
"Not quite. You are Lord Valsoul. I remember your name but not much else."said Amethysia.
"Yes, of course. I am Lord Valsoul. You are part of my top army. You shouldn't dwell in the past. Make new memories of this place."Valsoul said.
"Of course, my lord."said Amethysia.
The present Amethysia was shocked. She had remember this scene. That's her in the bed. Amethysia was throughly shocked. 'I'm related to Princess Serenity and I'm a duchess. I was brainwashed and Valsoul turned into my superior. This is wrong?!'she cried as she thought of this.
The memory ended and Amethysia couldn't take it anymore. She pulled herself out of the memory.
Amethysia pulled her hand back from the tunnel and dropped onto the ground. She began to breath harshly and quickly. Going into Queen Serenity's memories must've costed her an amount of energy to do so. For a long time too.
She began to shake all over. Not crying for the loss of her memories and past. But of infuriated anger. At Valsoul of course. 1.) He stole her memories. 2.) He's the enemy of my real family 3.) He lied
When she stood up, she checked the time. If she was to know the time, she looks at the sun of how high and how far east it went.
An hour had passed since she had lefted Aquarius?! She winced. Aquarius won't be happy. He was always so touchy if she was late.
She was about to turn and leave but she turned her head. Then she sighed. She,relunctantly, activated the contraption to take Queen Serenity's memories. If she didn't do that, Valsoul would become suspicious. It would be strange that a top general had failed to do a simple task.
Amethysia looked at Queen Serenity fondly. "Don't worry. I'll come and save you"
Out of the room she went.
Top Generals's Quarters
Amethysia hastily entered the code password and went in. She carefully stepped in and looked at her surroundings. 'Seems safe'she thought as she stepped in more boldly.
All of a sudden, Aquarius decided to appear and scared Amethysia half to death.
" And what took you so long?"he asked raising his eyebrows.
" Uh,well it's like this,um,a power source in the contraption decided to go all crazy and I had to fix it. But then,the contraption had a crack in it so I had to find some way to fix that. Finally, I had to check on Queen Serenity's condition and nothing's wrong with her. Would you believe that those events happened in the same hour?"Amethysia asked with a 'hee hee' at the end. 'I'm doomed. Ok,5 4 3 2 -'she thought when she was interupted by Aquarius.
"NO! Amethysia I don't believe that all those events happened in one hour. It'll take more than that to fix the contraption. Besides,if it's broken,it's broken. You can't fix it."he said as he crossed his arms.
He fixed his composure and cleared his throat. "What really happened? It won't take that long to check on Queen Serenity" he said as he stared her down.
"Not quite yet,Aquarius. I want to ask you something first. How do you remember how I came here after I losted a few of my memories in the battle with the Moon.?" she asked.
"Why? That happened more than a thousand years ago." he said surprised by her question but not shocked. If Aquarius is shocked,it's the clear expression that would tell her that he didn't know she was from the Moon Kingdom.
"Just answer it"
"Alright, when you got back,I was the head of Lord Valsoul's army. He said that you transferred from a different army in the Kingdom of Dark Illusions. He said you were talented and that I'm suppose to train you. That's it"he said as he had a confused expression on his face.
"Nothing else?"she asked with a quirk of an eyebrow.
Aquarius shooked his head slowly. "What's the matter with you today?"
Amethysia sighed in relief. So Aquarius doesn't know about it. He didn't lie to her or whatsoever.
"This might take awhile"
Present time in the Top Generals's Quarters
"How do you plan on defeating Valsoul?"Aquarius asked.
Amethysia shooked her head. "It's not my destiny to defeat Valsoul. That's Serenity's job. You don't have to change sides just to help me"
Aquarius shrugged." I had a feeling that I had to"
Sailor Senshis and other
The two 'brains' of the senshis's teams formatted a plan to get to Valsoul's lair.
Mercury had a conclusion that the Moon Sword could be the key to their dilenma.(sp?)
For the Moon Sword hadn't been use for more that five millenias so it could be tricky to unlock the sword's power.
All of the senshis and Yugioh gang entered another portal. But this time isn't the last time that they'll be entering one.
A Green Void
"This is no use. Throwing attacks at this barrier would just reflect our attacks back at us" Helious said. Normally,the white hair priest is calm and collected.Except, they have to get out of here. Quick! Lives are at stake.
" We can't do anything. We'll have to wait"said Yami as he said that relunctantly.
" He's too strong."said Helious.
" Don't give up,"a voice said.
"Who's there,"Helious asked.
Then an emitting light from above shone down on them. Which was casting a glow to everything. The guys's mouth dropped when they saw who it was.
I'll leave it there,folks. Three more chapters I hope or two. Ja.:Anime Star Tenshi
Ch.23: Memories of the Past Unravel
A pink puff of hair laid on the the cold,cement floor,unmoving. "mmf,"said something from underneath the hair. A girl of fourteen lifted her head as her crimson red eyes was still struggling to open.
Her eyes adjusted and the heaviness was gone,she opened them fully. She craned her neck to look around her. Dark,was all she could describe the room. A four, square shape room with metal bars on the front.
She examined the room. Clean,no cracks in the wall meaning that this was new. Tiles on the ground and wall fit perfectly. No signs of any disgusting pile of anything anywhere. Realization hit her as she looked around the room. Fear strickened her face. "I'm in a cell!"she cried as her voice crescendo with each word.
Starlights and SailorMoon's Location
Sailor Moon closed her eyes in mid way and shielded it from the light with her arms. The Starlights did the same. The accleration of them changed and suddenly went faster.
Sailor Senshis
The teens were still taking refuge in the cave. Grrrrrrrrooorroo grumbled Jou's stomach. Jou sighed in aggravation. " I'm so hungry! The least Valsoul can do is to leave us some food." cried Jou in his Brooklyn accent.
" Quiet,mutt. You don't think other people around you are starving. We all haven't eaten for two days."Said Seto in an icy tone as he sent Jou a death glare. They had all taken food with them for the first three days. But the other two days,the storage of the food was gone.
" Silence,both of you. You can't settle your hunger by bickering"said Pluto as she came in between the two.
"Pluto's right. Animals live in the desert. There must be food for them to eat. Plants grow anywhere and fruits grow on plants,trees whatever. We just haven't started to search for it yet"said Uranus as she got into her serious tone.
" Uranus is right. We won't be able to concentrate at the task at hand" said Saturn as she stood up to the two guys.
" I can't think whenever you two are bickering endlessly. I'll find food."said Marik.
"Uranus,go and help. More people can finish the job quicker"said Venus as she looked upon the tomboyish senshi.
Uranus nodded and went to catch up with Marik.
Almost 10 minutes passed and everyone was exhausted from traveling so they decided to doze off. But when Mars was about to close her eyes. A bright light from above was shining down on her eyelids making it impossible to sleep. She looked above her and three cough cough,people fell from the center source of the light.
Unfortunely for her,a certain blond headed figure just happened to fall on her while the others,landed on the ground.
"Ahhhhhhh!"cried Sailor Moon as her voice quieted down to a "mmf" when she landed hard on Mars.
" Ugh! Watch where you fall,Odango Atama!"shrieked Mars as she struggled to get up. Then realization hit her of who she just spoke to.
" Usagi!"cried Mars as she hugged Sailor Moon fiercely.
" Gee,that was a weird way to greet me,Pyro. First you yell at me,then you hug me."joked Sailor Moon as she hugged her friend back.
Everyone else was awoken by Mars' cry of joy. They hurried over to see Sailor Moon as they reintroduced the Starlights to the guys and girls.
Where Marik and Uranus are
The duo were walking when Uranus spoked up. " I'll look there and you look here"said Uranus as she walked off on her own.
Both walked on to their own direction and didn't speak to eachother while they were finding food.
Uranus was walking for awhile and she narrowed her eyes to see if anything that looks like food in the distance.
She didn't see anything that fits the description. She kept walking and she was looking from right to left repeatedly,until she spotted what she was looking for.
Under a tall and gangly looking cactus,she spotted a small bush that were mostly cover by red berries. She hurried over to it and took out a bag she had taken with her.
She began picking them when she heard a snap vaguely above her. The cactus was in a dangerous brink of falling over. Which means on her.
Everything had happened too fast for her to react. The cactus was falling fast. She was going to summon an attack at the last minute but the cactus was nearing fast and she wouldn't have enough time to shot an attack at the green plant.
A blur of darkish-white shot in her of her and the next thing she knew,she was sprawled on the sand. " Are you horrendously crazy?! "Marik cried as he stood up.
Uranus was shocked and unable to move. She was white as a sheet of paper. 'Marik just saved me. How come I didn't reacted? I could've save myself. Why didn't I clear my mind and thought about saving myself.'Uranus asked herself as she pondered on to many possiblities.
'Either way,I couldn't save myself. I had my attack ready. Why didn't I attack the stupid f&%ing cactus?!'thought Uranus.
While Uranus was busy thinking. Marik was jabbering about something that she couldn't hear because she was too deep in thought to notice.
When Uranus was pulled back to reality,Marik was still talking.
" How can you go under something that's huge and it was about to fall on you? You haven't been using your head ever since we came here.-"said Marik as he continued on. Uranus swallowed her pride and said,"Thank you for saving me".
Marik continued on and stopped as he heard what she said. "What did you say?"asked Marik,incredously.
" I said thank you and I don't want to say it again."said Uranus as she stood up to dust herself off.
Marik narrowed his eyes and looked at her. "All of a sudden,you're different. You just said thank you to me. I know you won't like to say something nice to me except for the sake of everyone."said Marik.
"I don't feel or act differently,"said Uranus as she walked ahead.
But Marik grabbed her hand,making her halt.
" Why have you been avoiding me for awhile?"Marik asked as his tone changed to a different matter.
" What reason do I have for it?"Uranus asked,pulling her hand back and headed out to the cave once more.
Marik just stood there,silent. He growled lightly. " She's denying herself"he said,going the opposite direction to find food.
Uranus' POV
Why have I been avoiding him? A.) Because I felt like it B.) I'm confused C.) I'm afraid of him D.) I fear love
Well, it's not choice A. At least I don't think so. I'm not afraid of him,so that cancels out choice C. I'm not as confused as before but that doesn't mean that I understand this whole situation.
Choice D,now that's a thought to wonder about. Do I fear love? I don't drive my friends away. Well,not like before,at least.
From my family members? No,Michi is my best friend and I never neglected her nor ignored her before.I always tell her if anything's bothering me. Vice-versa for her,too. Our other family members are either dead or don't live in Japan.
My parents was long gone from my life as long as I can remember. I had lived with my aunt and Michi for my whole life before encountering Senshi life. Well, with Michi now since auntie died.
How about Marik? I don't know anymore. I just want someone to love me for just who I am. Not a facade I have to put up with. Is that so wrong to ask?! Or do I really am afraid of being loved by someone?
I'll find that out later. I don't have any answers right now to complete my questions. Better just wait and think some more.
End of Uranus' POV
Sailor Senshis
Uranus's eyes were casted onto the ground as her eyelids were in midway. It could've been because she was maybe thinking too hard. She was,in fact,getting sleepy.
She knew that she was nearing the cave because she heard chattering of everyone. One voice she could defintely identified in the cluster of voices. Usagi's. Hope filled her heart.'The voice sounds like Bunny's. Maybe she came back while I was gone'Uranus thought as she trailed off. She ran all the way back to the cave.
Truth to be told,it was Usagi's voice she heard. Sailor Moon was talking happily to everyone around her. Uranus walked silently to the cave's mouth.
Sailor Moon's head was turned away from her so she couldn't see the silent figure. The others had seen her walking up so they stopped talking. They wanted Sailor Moon to know that Uranus was here.
"What's wrong?'Sailor Moon asked as she tilted her head and she turned her head to look at what or 'ahem', who they were looking at.
Her eyes lighted up to a pale cerulean color when she saw Uranus. "Ruka-chan!"she cried as her and Sailor Uranus embraced.
They let go of eachother and began to talk. "When did you get back?"Uranus asked. "A few minutes ago.The Starlights and I escaped Valsoul through a portal."explained Sailor Moon.
"Starlights? They're here?"Uranus inquired as she scan the room to see any new senshis who weren't here before. Sure enough,she found them.
The all nodded to her as in silently greeting her. They weren't all in best terms with eachother. Uranus nodded back. "Where's Yami,Chibi Moon and Helious? What happened to them?"asked Uranus.
The light from Sailor Moon's eyes disappeared and only to be replaced by stormy clouds of blue. Uranus noticed the sad look on her face,"Did something horrible happened to them?".
Sailor Moon swallowed the sadness and held back her tears,"They got captured by Valsoul. Yami and Helious is currently trapped in Valsoul's amulet. Valsoul stole Rini's energy away and now I'm assuming she's trapped somewhere in his castle".Sailor Moon finally said as she calmed herself down.
A mixture of emotions was written all over everyone's face- sadness,sympatheism,anger,frightened,and worries. The look of sadness was washed away from Sailor Moon's face. Instead,a look of determination suddenly overcame her face.
She stood up and looked at everyone,"We can't sit around and not do anything about it"she said as the fighting spirit in her returned.A flare of invisible fire appeared in her eyes as she said that.
Everyone didn't have to answer to let Sailor Moon know. The look on their faces were the answer.
Maker was the first one to speak in the quiet cave where everyone shared a silent conversation with the eyes. " We should use the portal that we just came out of. It's quicker to go. The Moon Sword might be helpful while we face Valsoul,Sailor Moon."said Maker as he mentioned the sacred sword.
All of the planetarian senshis ears perked up. Especially Venus's. "Moon Sword?"she inquired.
"Where did you get it?"asked Jupiter.
" When?"asked Saturn.
" It shouldn't be here.This place is of evil"said Mercury.
Everyone of the Inner and Outer Senshis bombarded her with questions.
"Alright,alright! If you all shut up, I would explain"said Sailor Moon as she waved her arms around.
She took a deep breath and started to explain from the beginning to the end. Of course, the rest of the uninformed people would like to know,too. So they crowded around Sailor Moon to hear about it.
Aquarius and Amethysia are
"Queen Serenity has been awakened"said Aquarius, not looking up from what he was doing. He must had gotten the message from Valsoul. " Lord Valsoul wants us to meet her".
" So soon? Doesn't he want the queen to let her mind at rest first. He did brainwash her and twisted her memories around"said Amethysia as she raised her eyebrows in question.
"Probably not. Good thing that he is not here to have heard what you said about him. Are you going to surprise him?"Aquarius asked.
Amethysia thought about it for a moment and nodded. " He took the thing that I treasure most from me,my memories."said Amethysia as she had the look of hatred upon her face.
Flashback
"Why did Lord Valsoul have us do again?"asked Amethysia as she had this tired,bored look on her face. Of course,she knew what was the task already but it seemed pointless to her.
Aquarius sighed,"We have to check on Queen Serenity,".
"Shouldn't that be a lower servant's job? That isn't normally our duty."said Amethysia as she turned her head towards Aquarius' direction.
"We have to run scans before her restoration is complete"said Aquarius. 'Though I have to agree. It is for a lowly servant's job.'he thought. Though he didn't want Amethysia to hear what he thought.
Both of the generals kept walking down the continuing hallway aimlessly until they came to a pitch black door with golden yellow static surrounding its perimeter.
Amethysia reached up to the door and was going to touch it with her pointer finger,before it reached the surface of the door, her finger came to a invisible surface and she entered a code of some sort. The static eventually died down and the door disappeared,allowing them entrance.
She and Aquarius entered the room. Pitch black,just like the door itself. The only light shedding through the room was a hole on the ceiling, which was casting its glow on the queen.
Some sort of contraption was surrounding her. Made from a special sort of concrete or stone. Claw-like designs made from the same kind of concrete/stone. It was a part of the contraption. A force of energy was going through the tunnel of the claw-like design.
" If we're going to check on her, we'll have to let more light in"Aquarius said, with a flick of his wrist,the pitch black room became bright.
" Now to work this contraption"said Amethysia as she wiggled her fingers and a rush of violet energy swirled around her hands.The tunnel of energy in the claw-like designs were silver.Which shows that it's Queen Serenity's aura. It was currently absorbing Queen Serenity's energy away.
She placed her hands in the field of energy and her mind was in Serenity's memories. Images flew in her head and then a somewhat familiar image made her stopped short. It was her. She was in Queen Serenity's memories!
'That's impossible! I've never seen her in my life except today. I've never talked to her before. Why would I be in her memories?'thought Amethysia as her face was covered with confusion.
'To find out,I''ll have to go further'thought Amethysia as she pressed further in the Queen's memories.But unfortunely,someone interupted her.
"Amethysia?"said Aquarius as he sent a glance towards Amethysia's direction. To him, Amethysia looked like she was in a deep trance.Deeper than what other people's expressions are when they work the machine. Though he never showed emotions, he had this exception for her.
They were in common in a lot of ways and she was the only one he actucally cared for. Valsoul usually had them do the tasks together. They had a kind of tight friendship.
Aquarius snapped out of his reverie and walked over to Amethysia. "Amethysia?"he said and then he tapped on the shoulders. That snapped her out of it since she jumped.
Amethysia blinked and the trance looking eyes disappeared and to be replaced with the same red eyes again. She shooked her head to take the dizziness from her head. "Yes,Aquarius. What is it?"she asked as she turned around.
"Have you checked if the contraption is draining Queen Serenity's memories?"he asked.
"Er.. Yes,of course. The contraption is working fine."said Amethysia as she stumbled with her words. She felt guilty lying to Aquarius like that. She had placed a small,lavendar ball of energy in the flowing silver tunnel. It would stop the memory erase. Temporally.
" Well,alright. Let's go to attend to our other duties."he said as he head for the door.
"Right, I'm coming."Amethysia called after Aquarius. She walked slowly towards the door but she slowed her pace and looked back at the sleeping figure.Her eyes dropped in hesitation and worry for the queen. With all of the strength she could muster, she went out the door.
'To discover why I'm in Queen Serenity's memories, I'll have to come back again. Secretly'Amethysia confirmed in her head.
'I will solve my past.'
End of Flashback
" I never thought that you'll go back,"Aquarius said as he looked at Amethysia.
" Never thought that I had the guts to do so"she said as another flashback flooded her mind.
Flashback
Aquarius had noticed that Amethysia was acting peculiarly,especially after their visit to their soon-to-be- queen.
As both of them were walking down a hallway, Amethysia was absentmindly staring at the ground. It was a couple of hours later when they had visited the queen's current chambers.
Amethysia was still pondering in thought about the whole memory situation. She hadn't been able to go back, these past hours. Not with Aquarius with her.
She have to escape Aquarius's watchful eyes. Somehow. Well, she could try to fib that she had forgotten to check how Queen Serenity's mind was doing. Erasing a person's memories has side effects and Valsoul,of course, didn't want anything to happen to his 'love'.
" Aquarius, may you head to our quarters alone? While checking Queen Serenity's mind erasing progress, I must had forgotten to check her condition while I was add it."Amethysia said as she looked up at Aquarius.
Since they are the top generals, they share this dormitory together but they get their own rooms.
Aquarius looked down at her and raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?"
"Yes. Quite sure. Don't worry, it'll be quick" said Amethysia as she smiled at him.
" I didn't say I was worry."he said as he had a taken back look on his face. He had stumbled on his words also his eyes were looking at somewhere else.
Amethysia smiled and said, "Uh huh. Well, I don't need to hear that to know. Your expression tells me" and off she went.
Aquarius was speechless. He clearly had nothing to say.
Mind Erasing Chamber
When Amethysia entered the room once again. She breathed a sigh of relief. 'Sorry, Aquarius. But I had to'.
Her eyes were trained in the dark. She snapped her fingers and voila. The room, once again was illuminated with light.
She stepped towards the contraption and let her eyes search for the lavendar glow she had placed in the tunnel. When she had located it, her hand glowed a mixture shades of violet and she slowly slipped her hands in the tunnel. Which was a bit uncomfortable.
Once again, she was in a black void of Queen Serenity's memories. With passing images of the past flew by. Her eyes quickly scanned the pictures and spotted the one she was looking for. She reached out and grasp the image before it got out of her sight.
It was the image of when she and Queen Serenity were talking.
To skim the memory, she have to focus and enter the image to find out. So she did. She slowly placed her transparent-like hand in the image and focus.
(A/N:While entering the queen's mind,Amethysia's mind is in the queen's mind. Her body is 'see-through' or whatever you call it. Her physical body is still in the queen's chambers.)
A strong but light gale washed over her body as she entered the memory. When she opened her eyes, she was floating. Below her was Queen Serenity and herself talking. For some reason.
She flew down lower to hear their conversation.
" Lilac, are sure about this? It's too dangerous. If anything happens to me, who will watch the moon. Serenity isn't of age enough yet."Queen Serenity said as she had look of concern for the girl that looked like Amethysia.
Lilac had the same face and qualities as Amethysia. Lilac had Amethysia's magentaish-purpish hair color. Also,them both had the same red orbs as their eyes. Lilac had the same bangs and chin length extra bangs, framing their faces.
But Lilac's hair were in traditional twin buns. But she had her hair cascading down also. Lilac had an elegant, silver dress on with a light silver bow at the top. Like Queen Serenity's dress. Her dress had 2 inches off- shoulder straps on with a light silver long bow on the back. She had a simple amethyst necklace with silver high heels.
(A/N: Imagine Nakuru in CardCaptor Sakura in her true form. Lilac's hair is in the same shape. If you don't know what I'm talking about,let me know through the reviews. Hee Hee)
Lilac's eyes flashed with a determination red. " I have to, Aunt Serenity. The Moon Kingdom is at war with the Negaverse. We've also got a problem with my dear uncle Valsoul"said Violeta as she said the last part dryly.
" Yes, I know. If only these problems didn't come the same time. Of course, that's not possible. I know you want to be useful during the war. But a spy. If the enemy finds out, you'll be treason for it."Queen Serenity said as she had a little frown on her face.
Lilac shooked her head as she heard that. " I promise I'll be very careful. I know I can't grantee that I'll be safe if I can come back. But with the Negaverse problem, we of course need to defeat them. Serenity needs you as a mother to guide her with the Silver Crystal. Solving the Negaverse's problem will be easier if we find a faster way to defeat Valsoul first."
Queen Serenity took in a short breath and then exhale,"Very well. But if you know that you are discovered, come back as soon as possible.".
Lilac nodded and smiled at her aunt. Then she frowned as a thought crossed her head.
" How is Serenity and Endymion?"she asked.
Queen Serenity sighed. "Very much in love".
"But it's not as deep as the one between Serenity and Yami,right? The path of destiny will change one day when Serenity meets up with Yami once again"Lilac said as she had a serious,sure face on.
Queen Serenity nodded.
That memory ended and Amethysia's mind was pulled into another one similar.
Next memory
The next memory shown Queen Serenity in the throne room with Princess Serenity,sobbing for some reason.
Sailor Venus and Sailor Saturn were bowing down to the both of them. Both of the senshis must have delivered grave news. For why would the leader of the inner and outer senshis's leader be here at the same time.
Amethysia flew closer to hear.
Venus lifted her head and spoke with grief, "I'm truly sorry,Your Highness. Saturn and I hadn't want to be the bearer of grieving news."
Saturn lifted her head also, "But it is true. Duchess Lilac has been discover by the enemy and now is held captive. "
(A/N: Isn't the cousin of a princess/prince a duch/duchess?)
"Valsoul had also say that he would make Duchess Lilac part of his army and brainwash her"said Venus as she and Saturn had unshed tears which were gathering in their eyes. Lilac,like Serenity,was a good friend to them.
"Brainwash her?"Serenity asked as she shook her blond hair fiercely, "Only Beryl has that contraption to brainwash someone."
Venus nodded. "True, Princess. But none of the spies we have could come up with a solution to Valsoul's secrets. Only Duchess Lilac was able to."
" We must try to save Lilac before Beryl advances towards the moon. She has attacked all of the inner planets and outer planets except for the planets:Saturn, Pluto,and Earth said Queen Serenity as she directed the order to the two leaders.
"Right away,highness"both of the senshis said. They bowed solidly to the both monarchs and lefted the throne room.
That ended the memory and another came.
Final memory
Amethysia appeared again as a ghostly figure and flew downward. She recognize the room as the mind erasing chamber. Instead of Queen Serenity in the contraption,it was Lilac?!
Lilac's lavendar, kind aura in the tunnel changed to a violent plum purple aura. Valsoul was in the room and he had a sly fox smile on as he snapped his fingers, Lilac was transported out of the machine.
He magically created a bed and placed Lilac in it. He teleported himself and Lilac to a room which Amethysia find it very familar. Lilac started to wake and her eyelids were adjusting to the light in the room, "Where am I? What is this place".
"Don't you remember? Your name is Amethysia and you were injured in a battle with the moon queen.The attack must've cost you some of your memories. The aftereffects of the healing will wear off soon."he said.
"Not quite. You are Lord Valsoul. I remember your name but not much else."said Amethysia.
"Yes, of course. I am Lord Valsoul. You are part of my top army. You shouldn't dwell in the past. Make new memories of this place."Valsoul said.
"Of course, my lord."said Amethysia.
The present Amethysia was shocked. She had remember this scene. That's her in the bed. Amethysia was throughly shocked. 'I'm related to Princess Serenity and I'm a duchess. I was brainwashed and Valsoul turned into my superior. This is wrong?!'she cried as she thought of this.
The memory ended and Amethysia couldn't take it anymore. She pulled herself out of the memory.
Amethysia pulled her hand back from the tunnel and dropped onto the ground. She began to breath harshly and quickly. Going into Queen Serenity's memories must've costed her an amount of energy to do so. For a long time too.
She began to shake all over. Not crying for the loss of her memories and past. But of infuriated anger. At Valsoul of course. 1.) He stole her memories. 2.) He's the enemy of my real family 3.) He lied
When she stood up, she checked the time. If she was to know the time, she looks at the sun of how high and how far east it went.
An hour had passed since she had lefted Aquarius?! She winced. Aquarius won't be happy. He was always so touchy if she was late.
She was about to turn and leave but she turned her head. Then she sighed. She,relunctantly, activated the contraption to take Queen Serenity's memories. If she didn't do that, Valsoul would become suspicious. It would be strange that a top general had failed to do a simple task.
Amethysia looked at Queen Serenity fondly. "Don't worry. I'll come and save you"
Out of the room she went.
Top Generals's Quarters
Amethysia hastily entered the code password and went in. She carefully stepped in and looked at her surroundings. 'Seems safe'she thought as she stepped in more boldly.
All of a sudden, Aquarius decided to appear and scared Amethysia half to death.
" And what took you so long?"he asked raising his eyebrows.
" Uh,well it's like this,um,a power source in the contraption decided to go all crazy and I had to fix it. But then,the contraption had a crack in it so I had to find some way to fix that. Finally, I had to check on Queen Serenity's condition and nothing's wrong with her. Would you believe that those events happened in the same hour?"Amethysia asked with a 'hee hee' at the end. 'I'm doomed. Ok,5 4 3 2 -'she thought when she was interupted by Aquarius.
"NO! Amethysia I don't believe that all those events happened in one hour. It'll take more than that to fix the contraption. Besides,if it's broken,it's broken. You can't fix it."he said as he crossed his arms.
He fixed his composure and cleared his throat. "What really happened? It won't take that long to check on Queen Serenity" he said as he stared her down.
"Not quite yet,Aquarius. I want to ask you something first. How do you remember how I came here after I losted a few of my memories in the battle with the Moon.?" she asked.
"Why? That happened more than a thousand years ago." he said surprised by her question but not shocked. If Aquarius is shocked,it's the clear expression that would tell her that he didn't know she was from the Moon Kingdom.
"Just answer it"
"Alright, when you got back,I was the head of Lord Valsoul's army. He said that you transferred from a different army in the Kingdom of Dark Illusions. He said you were talented and that I'm suppose to train you. That's it"he said as he had a confused expression on his face.
"Nothing else?"she asked with a quirk of an eyebrow.
Aquarius shooked his head slowly. "What's the matter with you today?"
Amethysia sighed in relief. So Aquarius doesn't know about it. He didn't lie to her or whatsoever.
"This might take awhile"
Present time in the Top Generals's Quarters
"How do you plan on defeating Valsoul?"Aquarius asked.
Amethysia shooked her head. "It's not my destiny to defeat Valsoul. That's Serenity's job. You don't have to change sides just to help me"
Aquarius shrugged." I had a feeling that I had to"
Sailor Senshis and other
The two 'brains' of the senshis's teams formatted a plan to get to Valsoul's lair.
Mercury had a conclusion that the Moon Sword could be the key to their dilenma.(sp?)
For the Moon Sword hadn't been use for more that five millenias so it could be tricky to unlock the sword's power.
All of the senshis and Yugioh gang entered another portal. But this time isn't the last time that they'll be entering one.
A Green Void
"This is no use. Throwing attacks at this barrier would just reflect our attacks back at us" Helious said. Normally,the white hair priest is calm and collected.Except, they have to get out of here. Quick! Lives are at stake.
" We can't do anything. We'll have to wait"said Yami as he said that relunctantly.
" He's too strong."said Helious.
" Don't give up,"a voice said.
"Who's there,"Helious asked.
Then an emitting light from above shone down on them. Which was casting a glow to everything. The guys's mouth dropped when they saw who it was.
I'll leave it there,folks. Three more chapters I hope or two. Ja.:Anime Star Tenshi
