Chapter 5
Mina stood it what looked to be an old run down church. It was in a park outside of Tokyo. About an hour bus ride or a half an hour car ride. She hadn't asked anyone to come with her. This place was hers alone. It was said that centuries ago when people on earth still worshipped the planets this was Venus's temple. Whether that was true or not Mina had to idea but she always came there to think.
She couldn't help but shudder at the violent emotions stirring up inside of her. She was in a maelstrom of emotions and everything was so jumbled up. She was ecstatic that what she proceed to be happening was. But she was also saddened. For that meant the rest of the scouts would get their horrifying memories back such as she had.
Mina walked up the stone steps to the entrance of the temple. Pushing the old rotted wooden doors to the side she went in. It wasn't much to look at when you first walked in. But then you noticed the walls were made out of precious stones engraved in intricate designs. Mina walked up the aisle in between the stone pews. She came to the middle of the church where a stone altar stood. In the middle of the altar was an engravement.
When she had first stumbled on the temple at the mere young age of 13 she hadn't really known the significance of the engraving. But as the years passed she came to sense that the engraving was something more. Today she studied it as never before. And as soon as she touched it she began to glow. All of a sudden Mina was up in the air floating above the altar and the light was going through her to her planet. As she was let back to down to earth she stood there not alone. In front of her was her mother.
"Mom?" Mina asked in a strange voice.
"Hello Mina" said the image. The woman was tall, taller than Mina herself. With long blonde hair and big blue eyes. She had a yellow gown and looked ethereal.
"What are u doing here?" Mina asked the image.
"To give you the power you have been long denied" said the woman.
"What power?" Mina asked confused.
"You are the first born child of Venus. First cousin to the moon and the sun" said the woman. "And you have many duties to uphold one of them being Serenity's guardian another being princess of your planet"
"What are you saying?" Mina asked taken aback.
"I have come to give you the Venus sphere with this sphere you are now the rightful ruler of Venus and have full control of all of your powers" said the woman.
"How much power?" Mina asked.
"As much as Serenity, you are a ruler of a planet after all. She still is your Queen and you are in her liege but you are still a Queen in your own right" said the woman.
"But my people...they are dead" said Mina in a sorrowful voice.
"That may be or not...but you are still the Queen. And with that it is time to take your place as a ruler of the Silver Millennium" said the image.
As the woman said this a glowing golden sphere came toward Mina. Mina wasn't sure what to do and then it came to her. The golden ball entered her body and she was surrounded by light after it was absorbed into her. Mina no longer stood there in her place was Queen Mina ruler of Venus.
"It gives me great pleasure to see you like this my daughter. If destiny had not been they way it had you would have done this a millennium ago. But alas it was not to be" said the woman turning as a man came up to her. Mina looked at both of them and knew. These two images were her parents in the last days of their lives. The man was a few feet taller than the woman with golden hair and big silver eyes. He gave his daughter a nod and the two images disappeared.
As they dissipated she heard her father say "She has your eyes" and her mother whisper "but she has your nose" and when they were finally gone Mina sank to the floor and wept. Wept in joy for seeing the loving parents she had once had instead of the drunk mother and workaholic father she now had. She wept for she knew that her youth was gone. As Mina got up Queen Mina melted into Princess Mina and they became one.
In Tokyo
Lillian had told the others what had happened that day. It was such an unusual set of circumstances. They each had their memories back as well. While Lillian was being visited by a ghost each had gotten theirs from a dream.
Thalia stood looking out of over Tokyo. Life had changed dramatically in the last 24 hours and it was only going to change more. Thalia was Sailor Hope the Guardian of the hall of hopes and fears. Her sister Lillian was Sailor Sun or known to others as the Priestess of the Sun. Charlotte was Sailor Earth Guardian of Elysion. Jade was Sailor Meara Guardian of the floating fortress Meara the held the Silver Millenniums history. And lastly Sandra was Sailor Bronze Guardian of the Bronze kingdom in the asteroid belt.
They were the fabled guardians of the Silver Millennium. They guarded the places that were kept hidden from their enemy's. The secret hiding spots. Hope guarded the hall. Helping out planetary rulers with their daily people. She helped bring peace to many disputes. Lilly kept the solar system running smoothly. Helping ozone layers by boosting their energy when they were going threw a depletion. She guarded the life force of the Silver Millennium. Charlotte also known as Terra was the guardian of Elysion. While her brother was to rule she was to guard the peoples dreams with Helios. Jade guarded Meara. A place few knew about and seldom ever went. It was a floating fortress full of many different things. Old powers, new weapons and the history of long forgotten. Sandra guarded the bronze kingdom. In between the asteroid belt that broke up the planets was a secret place where all of the silver millenniums weapons were made. It was said her people were the first amazons and warriors ever birthed.
It was said they had been ruthless when pursued and hard when fought against. Many could not match the power of the guardians. It was said that before the birth of Hope and Lilly their mother, the former Sailor Sun had got a vision. Through their line their had only been one other set of twins. When born they would take on opposite roles. This had only ever happened once. Sailor Hope had only existed within one other person and the priestess had only been one other person. It was said that these two powers were so strong that neither could live in one entity. When only one child was born to the Sun that child would only have the powers of the Sailor of the Sun. She would have no powers of the priestess and none of Sailor Hope. When these to young girls were born they would be bestowed with amazing powers and the guardians would live again.
