Chapter 5
Faith
Crystal Tokyo 5401............
This was the great leader? This world planet was ruled by a 5 foot 3" woman. He had been surprised to see her standing alone in the control room. Even more surprised when she demanded that he leave her palace immediately. Shit, if he blew hard enough he could push her backwards. The master was going to eat her for lunch.
Present Day Tokyo..............
Serena sighed and plucked the nearest can of baby formula from the bottom shelf. If there was one good thing about living with a doctor it was that he knew everything to get for a baby. While the stove was heating she gently slipped a slumbering Usagi into a lilac sleeper that matched Usagis hair. Darien was at work and the other scouts were as well so that left Serena and Usagi with the day to themselves. A trip to the infamous Tokyo Park seemed the perfect way to spend the afternoon. It was too lovely a fall day to stay inside anyway. Wistfully Serena smoothed a purple lock out of Usagis face. The little tikes hair was already long enough to separate into two small pigtails. Certainly unusual for a human baby but normal for a Serenity of the moon. Slipping the carrier on like a front backpack Serena and baby locked the apartment and headed to the elevator.
Hotaru, the feared sailor of death and destruction grimaced at her reflection. Pink was NOT her color. Mina was having the time of her life picking out gowns for tonight's concert but Hotaru was living in hell. Damn Michiru - mama for suggesting a shopping trip to Mina. Glaring at Mina she stomped over to the nearest dress rack and Grabbed a long black gown that she had been eyeing all morning. She sped into the nearest dressing room and practically ripped the pink creation from her body. Slipping on the black dress she surveyed her new appearance. Now this was her. Clinging to all the right areas and showing just a little leg the dress was perfect. Mina banged on the door and demanded to be let in. Hotaru was just reaching for the handle when it happened. Shadows danced at her vision and a cold feeling of evil hit with electrifying jolts of power. She caught the scent of leaves and the faint sound of water before everything seemed to stop and a tsunami of energy poured over her. Throughout it all she could hear Serenas voice demanding "To Me!"
Throwing open the door she saw a totally different Mina standing there. Mina pushed into the small room and simotaniously transformed with Hotaru. Determined eyes almost hid the hint of worry from Hotaru but she could still see it on the other senshies face. Without words they teleported to Tokyo Park. On the way they were joined by six more. Fiery red, stormy aqua, ice blue, striking green, angry yellow, and an ominous gold.
Serena had been enjoying the day. Faint clouds swam in the ocean of sky above her and a light breeze fluttered the multi colored leaves on the ground. Serena loved the smell of fall. Of all the seasons it smelled the best. It was still warm out so she had spread a blanket on the hill overlooking the clear blue lake. Usagi had woken up and had seemed fascinated by the brightly colored leaves. Gathering a red one Serena placed Usagi on the blanket and had handed the squirming baby the leaf. Usagi clutched it in her grubby fist and waved it about before brining it in an ominous gesture towards her mouth.
"Oooh no you don't brat." Serena smiled and moved the leaf away from the disastrous destination. "Leaves are not baby food silly." She wagged a petite finger at Usagi. A gurgle and some kicks were her only answer.
A ripple of unease hit her suddenly and she quickly looked around. All she saw were children playing and some small pets. When she returned her gaze to Usagi she couldn't help but laugh. The innocent baby had bits of red leaf on her chin and a soggy stem in her tiny fist.
"I hope that tasted good now because when you spit it back up it won't." Serena reached for the bottle when it happened. The calming silence was broken by screams of fright. A cold dark shadow creeped into her body and closed about her heart. She gasped and snatched Usagi close to her. Usagi must of felt it too because she let out a small whimper. Frantically trying to hush a frightened Usagi and locate the object of danger Serena backed towards a public rest room. Damn, if she didn't have Usagi she could transform and moondust the threat herself in a nano second. Serena gritted her teeth in frustration and sent out an order. "To Me!"
White Moon Palace 5401.......................
"Damn it Pluto! I did not summon you here for your riddles. I need to know where my granddaughter is NOW." Serenity was a sight to be seen. Her cheeks flushed with suppressed anger and her eyes glittering with a ruthless determination she paced in front of er guard of time and elite Senshi.
"Highness you know I cannot tell you. It would break the rules of Chronos." Pluto hardly ever flinched but she did so now.
"Screw Chronos! I could bypass your authority and step into the timeline myself. I do not need your assistance Pluto. It is merly a formality for me to ask for it. Now either you tell me or I will break the blasted rules myself."
Sighing Pluto looked directly into her mistresses eyes prepared to deny her again but stopped. What she saw undid her. Underneath the cold tactical determination she saw heartbreak and fear in her Queens eyes. For Serenity to look so broken. It was too much.
"She is in Tokyo, after Chaos." The whimpered answer allowed Serenity to slump her shoulders in relief before she quickly straightened them again.
"Thank you."
Serenity then allowed the other Senshi into the room.
"We need to reach Earth. Ami how long before we can break throughout he barrier."
The Senshi of Mercury stepped foreword. "We are almost there your Highness. It is a spell from beyond our galaxy and difficult. A few more hours.
Lita stepped up then. "Majesty, the army is eager to march. We await your orders."
Serenity had to smile slightly. Litas army came from throughout the system. It was no small group. She didn't know what Jupiter had done to get them at the ready but it had to have a good story behind it.
"We shall march as soon as the barrier is down. Keep them at the ready. Ami keep trying"
Serenity waved a pale hand in dismissal and looked out the high windows at the setting earth. Mina voiced the question all the Senshi wanted to.
"Serenity, what of the small princess?"
Serenity smiled at he Earth before turning to her Captain. Her answer was simple and short.
"Have faith."
Faith, Serenity thought later was easier said to have then to actually achieve. She looked sadly down at her sleeping husband and tenderly swept a midnight strand of hair from his forehead. She missed Endymoin terribly. With bother he and Reenie so far away half her heart was empty. Grace fully she walked to the spacious balcony outside the room. The Eath was low in the west and down below her people slept in Luna Point. Luna Point was the capital of the moon. Named in memory of her beloved advisor who had passed just a few years back. It consisted of the surrounding city and countryside. Blissfully unaware of the impending crises her subject slept soundly secure in the he knowledge that they were safe here. Serenity banged a dainty white fist on the railing. Damn those intruders. They had just been getting used to peace and prosperity. She sighed, time was weighing on her heavily. New life was needed to carry on the mantle of guardian to the crystal. New life to bring a breath of fresh air. Reenies small daughter was just that life. Serenity had one more battle to fight. Steeling her heart she strode out of the bedchamber and towards the communication room.
