The Star and the Wind – Book II: The Past Returns

Chapter 5 - An evil plan, meeting an old friend
by Pluto Knight
Copyright © 2002/2004

Amara had parted with Seiya out side the arcade and she was now heading home. Ever since he had grabbed her earlier in the park, saving her the pain of hitting the ground, she had been having a strange feeling in her stomach. A feeling she had only had once and that was when she had been dating… Her eyes widened. Had she really fallen in love with Seiya? Amara knew that lately she had hated their fights, wanting it do be different, much different. But fallen in love with him? Most unlikely, but oh how she missed the feeling of love. When she had first re-met Michelle here in Tokyo, Michelle was still hurting from the painful break up with her last boyfriend, Nicolas. Michelle had been hurt beyond measures and it had taken a long time before she was back to her normal self. During the fight with the Death Busters, Michelle had still been sad and hadn't really wanted to fight thought she had been the one to persistently insist on that Amara were to accept her fate as a Senshi and join her in the fight against the Death Busters. But she didn't show it because she didn't want to seem weak.

Amara sighted and continued to walk down the street. White snow flakes had begun to fall slowly again. She shivered and wished that Seiya was still with her. Am I really falling in love with him. She thought. The thought was starting delight her, seeing that she wouldn't be lonely anymore. Well not really "lonely", as in not having anyone to talk too, with, but the love loneliness. She closed her eyes and thought how it would feel to be in his arms, being hold.

The Milky Way,

Chaos, in the form of the golden queen Galaxia, sat in her throne, looking at an image of the Starlight Knight. She had seen him before, but she couldn't quiet place where that had been. He was standing in front of Sailor Uranus, who was in a state of fright, shock, and relief. An evil idea popped into Galaxia's mind. She would capture sailor Uranus and turn her evil. In her emotional state it would be an easy task to "persuade" her to join her, and become one of her powerful, beautiful and irresistible generals.

"Orion! Come forth!" Galaxia said.

"Yes, my queen, you wished to see me?" Sailor Orion said, bowing respectfully.

"Yes, I did. I want you to go too earth and capture the scout of Uranus and bring her here. She will make a fine new soldier of chaos." Galaxia said, smirking evilly. Orion smiled evilly as well. She really hated sailor Uranus and her partner, sailor Neptune, for ruining her planes so many times. "Of course my queen, it shall be done."

"Excellent." Galaxia said. Orion bowed and left the room to set her task in motion.

Seiya looked around for the shadow, but could not find it anywhere. He had been following it ever since he had felt its evil presence out side the arcade. He looked around and cursed under breath. "Damn, where is that shadow?"

"Don't worry. The shadow is not going to hurt her." A voice said.

'YOU!?!' Seiya yelled mentally, and turned around to see a man; dressed in light armour with a cape that moved in the wind. A broad sword in a scabbard was hanging from the right side of his wrist.

"Yes, me, who did you expect?" The voice said. Seiya looked at the figure with a sense of recognition. "I… I know you from somewhere, don't I?"

"I should think that you do, my old friend. It sure has been a long time." The man said, removing his helmet and stepping into the light.

Seiya's eyes widened as memories rushed back into his mind. "Fredrick… The Starlight Knight of Pluto… So you are the one that has revoked my memories? But why? And why only some of them?" he questioned.

"Too answer your first question. Yes, I did revoke your memories, partially."

"Partially?!" Seiya exclaimed. "Who else knows that I am a knight?"

The Pluto Knight smiled knowingly. Seiya just rolled his eyes. "Come on, I am not getting any younger you know."

"The Moon Queen, Serenity." Pluto answered. More memories rushed into his mind, memories of his brother, who was the king of the Moon and Serena's father. Seiya's eyes turned teary. "What happened? What happened the night when Beryl attacked? What happened to my princess, and who is she in this time? What happened to you guys? You and the other knights I mean." Seiya fired questions at the time lord.

Fredrick looked down at the ground. Unlike his female counterpart, sailor Pluto, Fredrick could see and knew a lot more then she did. Sailor Pluto was powerful, but Fredrick's powers were only exceeded by the powers that the princess/queen of the moon possessed. "We lost." Fredrick began, "Everything and everyone was either destroyed or brutally killed. Now the moon is only a crumbled place. A sad reminder of the evil that once was, not to mention still that exists in the universe."

Seiya looked up at the cloudy sky that had released another wave of snow flakes. "My Family… all gone." He said.

"And as too who your princess is… I can not tell you that. You will know in time, Seiya." Pluto said.

Seiya looked at him questioningly. "And you guys?" He asked.

Fredrick looked at him and said, "Come, there are some things that I want to show you and talk with you about."

"Where are we going?" Seiya asked suspiciously. He trusted Fredrick, true. But there where still so many things that he didn't remember and didn't knew how to react too. One of those things was what he was going to tell Taiki and Yaten.

The environment that surrounded the time gates was as always misty and dark. Fog was everywhere and there it sent a chill down Seiya's spin. Seiya never really liked this place. Fredrick had told him that it couldn't be all happiness here because the flow of time greatly depended on what course men took time, meaning that nothing is set in stone.

"So… what did you want to talk to me about?"

"I brought you here because the enemy has many spies. Here we can talk freely." Fredrick explained.

"I see." Seiya replied. "Now what is so secret that you wanted to tell it to me here and not in the city? You said that you had some things that you wanted to show me. I thought you were forbidden to show people the flow of time." Seiya said.

"My wi… Sailor Pluto is forbidden to do so. I am not, since I officially don't exist, meaning that Sailor Pluto doesn't know about me. I have erased her memories of me, you and the other knights. She is convinced that you are a starlight and from the planet of Kinmoku."

Seiya frowned. "I wasn't really born there was I?"

"No. Those memories were given to you, Yaten, Taiki, Galaxia, and the other people from Kinmoku. You were born a planet called Starlight, of where you are also the prince and heir to the throne. Your father's older brother met and married the Moon Princess of that time, Queen Serenity, Serena's mother, and became the king of the Moon. From there on, things went hand in hand. Relationship between the Moon Kingdom and the Starlight Kingdom was very good. You were appointed leader of the knights of the Starlight Alliance, the alliance between the Moon- and the Starlight kingdom. You, the other knights and I are the knights that were the first to be appointed in order to protect our kingdoms. You are the guardian of princess Uranus, like I am for Princess Pluto." Fredrick explained. Seiya nodded. Fredrick continued, "Like you, the other knights are reborn. I have found some of them over the last 4 years. All are they aware of their fates and who they are to protect." Fredrick explained.

"Who have not you not found?" Seiya asked

"Neptune, Saturn, Venus and Jupiter. I have searched everywhere for them but sadly with out a positive result. I am not even sure if they are aware of whom they really are."

Seiya nodded, he missed Saturn and Venus. Venus had always been the fine one and loved to dress fashionable. "So what happens now?" Seiya asked.

"Now we get to put a cruel plot into action. The enemy is looking for Princess Uranus…"

"WHAT!?!?!" Seiya yelled, cutting of Fredrick.

"Yes, they are, which is why this so much more important."

"What do we do?" Seiya asked. He really wanted to find his princess now and make sure that those creeps didn't touch a hair on her.

"Listen here…" Fredrick said, and began to explain his plan to Seiya. It was a plan that had been put to use before, back on the moon, in order to lure the four generals of the dark kingdom into a trap, a trap that worked.

Outer Senshi's Mansion

When Amara had gotten home she had been met by a somewhat angry and worried Michelle. Amara didn't want to fight so she had just walked off to bed, leaving the girls and cats dumbfounded in the living room. Amara crept to bed, dreaming, as usual, about the Starlight Knight.

Back at the time gates,

Seiya and Fredrick had now been talking for hours, though it only seemed like minutes.

"I have better get back to my apartment, or my brothers will be worried." Seiya said, getting up from the chair he was sitting in.

Fredrick nodded, "I have better leave as well. If Pluto finds me here things will get much worse then they are now."

"From what you told me, Yes." Seiya said, as they stepped through a portal.

"Don't worry Seiya, everything will be fine in the end, I promise. I have seen the future."

Seiya nodded. He had a strange felling of uncertainty in his heart and mind.

Yay!! Another chapter done!!! R n' R.
