AN: Here is chapter 10! Enjoy and please review!
To answer a few questions I received in reviews:
Harry: The first song in the last chapter was A Moment Like This by Kelly Clarkson and the second one was Breathe by Faith Hill. Excellent love songs. Two of my favs.
Slshadowfox: You asked if there would be any romantic interests for the former scouts. Most definitely, but probably not till the second or third arc in this story. After this one is over, I will be rewriting the second and third stories in this trilogy and possibly even writing a fourth. Thanks for your reviews!
Jffan: Thanks for your suggestion about scene separation. Usually when I type this in word perfect, I separate my scenes with astericks, but for some reason, they are lost when uploaded to I didn't realize it in the first few chapters until I was looking over them. Now, before uploading I use that line break provided in the chapter editor on the site. Eventually, I will go back and first those first few chapters, because I really don't like my paragraphs running together. Thanks for keeping me on my toes and I'm glad you are enjoying the TF insertion. Thanks for your reviews and suggestions.
Entwined Destinies: The Meeting of Worlds
The Revised Edition
Chapter 10: The Sign of Saturn
"Nadira! Get in here!" Vile called. Nadira scampered into Vile's throne room, awaiting his orders.
"I have a very important mission for you and you had best not fail this time," he ordered. She only nodded.
"In a few minutes, Kira and Larisa will be going outside for recess. Your mission is capture the brats and bring them to me," Vile ordered.
"Yes master Vile," Nadira obeyed, as she teleported to earth.
"If she fails Ransik, the consequences for you both will not be good," Vile said. Ransik seethed silently. He was not one to be pushed around.
Larisa trotted happily outside to recess. She quickly spotted Kira sitting alone and went to play with her.
"Hi Kira!" Larisa said cheerfully.
"Oh hi Larisa," the unusually pale girl replied.
"Are you okay? You look like you don't feel well. Maybe we should go see the nurse," Larisa suggested.
"No…it's all right. I'll be fine," Kira replied. Truthfully, her attacks were coming with a vengeance lately and she hadn't been able to hide them all the time. She was glad she had her cousin Kim around to look after her. She envied Larisa a lot, but was happy to have her as a friend. Just a few days ago, she had found out that her cousin Kimberly was in fact Sailor Venus. She had also discovered that Larisa was Sailor Mini Moon and Kat and Billy were really her future parents. Kat and Billy were always so loving to her and it was apparent that nothing would ever tear them apart, unlike her own parents.
"Larisa, what are your parents like in the future?" Kira asked.
"They're great! Even though there always busy cause they're king and queen, they spend as much time with me as possible. Daddy reads or tells me stories every night. Then he and mama tuck me in together. We go on family outings together too. I miss them, but I really like it here too!" Larisa said. Kira smiled at her bubbliness. Suddenly, many children began screaming. The two little girls looked up to see a pink haired woman making her way to them.
"Oh no! it's that mean lady! Come on Kira, we have to run!" Larisa said. But Kira was weak and Larisa's little legs couldn't run that fast, so Nadira easily caught up with them. Rito and Goldar appeared and snatched the girls up and all of them disappeared.
Kat and the others were just getting out of class when Kat's communicator beeped. They found a secluded corner and Kat spoke into the device.
"This is Kat," she answered.
"Kat, you and the others must teleport to the power chamber immediately," Luna said frantically.
"What's wrong Luna?" Kat asked.
"We will inform you once you are here," Luna replied. Kat and the others dashed outside and behind the school, before initiating their teleportation.
When they arrived, they found that the outers and the Time Force rangers were already there.
"What's going on Luna?" Kat asked.
"Nadira has kidnaped Larisa and Kira while they were in school," Luna showed them on the viewing screen.
"Oh no," Kat cried. Billy went to the console and began typing furiously in hopes of teleporting himself up there to get them. His jaw clenched and he shook his head in frustration.
"They have an unpenetrable barrier around the palace," Billy reported. He turned away from the console and clasped Kat's hands in his own.
"There has to be a way for us to get through that barrier," Billy said, turning to Zordon. Before Zordon could speak, the alarm went off.
"It is Ransik. He is attacking in the park and using a weapon to steal pure hearts," Zordon said.
"Let's go. Alpha, keep working on a way to break through that barrier," Billy ordered. The scouts, knights and rangers transformed and teleported to the battle scene.
Nadira curiously watched the little girl known as Larisa. She was curled up in the corner of the cell and her eyes were a little puffy from crying. The child was only five and hadn't done anything wrong.
'Why do father and master Vile wish to harm something so innocent. She hasn't done anything wrong,' Nadira found herself wondering. She stepped inside the cell and Larisa cowered away from her.
"I'm not going to hurt you Larisa," Nadira said. The little girl looked at her skeptically.
"You're not?" she sniffed.
"No, come here," Nadira said. Larisa did so cautiously and was surprised when Nadira hugged her.
"Are you going to take me back to mama-Kat and daddy-Billy?" Larisa asked innocently. Nadira winced, but then smiled.
"I'm going to try, okay?" she asked.
"Okay!" Larisa said.
"Nadira!" Vile called.
"Oh no, stay here okay?" Nadira said, as she left for the throne room.
"Yes master Vile," Nadira reported.
"I have a very special surprise for the scouts and you are going to carry it out," Vile said.
"What must I do?" she asked.
"Go and take that moon brat down to earth so her future parents can see her one last time. Then, before their eyes, kill her," Vile ordered. Nadira had to stop herself from audibly gasping. She couldn't kill that child, but she quickly covered up her shock.
"And what becomes of the other brat?" Nadira asked.
"She is resting comfortably and will remain here, as the sovereign is getting very close to waking up," Vile reported. Nadira nodded and left to get Larisa.
Ransik laughed manically, as he hit both Adam and Tanya with pure heart gun and extracted the precious objects. Rocky and Aisha dodged the blast meant for them and Ransik continued to fire wildly. Suddenly, Nadira appeared with Larisa in one arm and a dagger in the other.
"Larisa!" Kat cried.
"Ah…I see the main attraction is here. Today, we shall be executing this brat as a lesson to you scouts. No one gets in the way of what we want!" Ransik said.
"No please, don't kill her!" Billy pleaded.
"We'll do anything, just don't hurt her," Kat begged. Ransik laughed evilly.
"Pitiful human trash, stop your groveling. Kill her Nadira!" Ransik ordered. Tears slid down Nadira's cheeks, as she saw how much pain killing this little girl would cause.
"I was ordered by Master Vile to kill her, but I cannot," Nadira said, as she dropped the dagger and put Larisa down. The little girl scampered to her future parents and was scooped up by Billy.
"Nadira! WHY!" Ransik demanded.
"I couldn't kill her daddy! She hasn't done anything wrong! Why do we hate all humans!" Nadira cried. Ransik stared at his daughter, unable to answer. Suddenly, Vile appeared out of nowhere and blasted Nadira, leaving a wound in her chest.
"Nooo!" Ransik yelled, as his daughter fell into his arms.
"No one betrays me and lives. As for you Ransik, I'll let Time Force deal with you! Watch your back Sailor Moon!" Vile threatened, before disappearing. Tears fell from Ransik's eyes, as he cradled his little girl. Billy slowly approached him, despite Jen's pleas for him to stay away. Billy's hand glowed with a golden light and he placed it over Nadira.
Ransik was speechless, as he watched his enemy heal his daughter.
"Why...why did you help her?" Ransik asked.
"Because I can see that you really love her and you're shedding tears for her. If you were really evil, you wouldn't be capable of such actions," Billy spoke. Ransik swallowed hard.
"Thank you," Ransik said, as his daughter began to wake. He helped her up and told her of what had transpired.
"I'm ready to pay for my crimes," Ransik said, as he held out his wrists, ready to be cuffed. Lucas held the cuffs, but waited for Billy's orders.
"You will serve only a minimal sentence, because of your turn to the side of good. Upon your release, there will be a place for you in our kingdom. I'm sure my decision will stand in the future," Billy said.
"And what about Nadira?" Ransik asked the boy who would become the man he used to consider his worst enemy. Billy exchanged glances with Kat, and she smiled warmly, conveying her approval.
"Nadira saved our future daughter's life knowing that it could very we be at the cost of her own. She will not be punished, but rather rewarded. She will be allowed to visit you at anytime. But I think I will leave it up to my future self to decide what kind of occupation she will be given," Billy stated.
"Thank you," Ransik said gratefully.
"Ms. Nadira, will I see you when I come back to the future?" Larisa asked.
"I'm sure you will," Nadira replied, as the little girl hugged her. Nadira was shocked at first, but slowly hugged back. Katie, Trip, and Lucas boarded the time ship with Ransik and Nadira in tow. Eric also joined them, as they would be returning him to the year 2001, while the rest would be returning to 3008. Jen and Wes remained for now and the group returned to the power chamber. That is when Amara spoke.
"Princess, I think you and the prince were hasty in being so soft on those two," Amara said.
"We understand your concern Amara. But I don't believe either of them were ever really evil. They were shunned by humans and this caused great anger and hate. I believe a little compassion will go a long way, as I am a prime example. I did a lot of things I'm not proud of when I was under Rita's spell and the others would have had every right to want nothing to do with me, but they forgave me out of the goodness of their hearts," Kat spoke passionately, as Billy wrapped his arms around her waist.
"The same goes for me," Tommy added, referring to his own time as Rita's evil green ranger. Kim smiled and kissed him. Amara nodded and accepted their line of reasoning.
"We still need to figure out how to save Kira," Kim said, deeply worried about her cousin. The others nodded and began trying to formulate a plan. Kat picked Larisa up and set her on the console, so Billy could run the medical scanner over her to make sure she was okay.
"Is she all right?" Kat asked.
"Yes, except I'm concerned about this small cut on her arm. I'm going to have to give you a tetanus shot peanut," Billy told her. Larisa pouted.
"I hate shots," she whined.
"We know sweetie, but this is for your own good. I'll hold your hand, okay?" Kat said. Larisa nodded.
"Whenever I have to get a shot in the future, daddy always let's me have cookies and ice cream," Larisa said. Kat eyed Billy mischievously.
"Oh does he?" Kat asked.
"Hey, that's the future me," Billy argued. Larisa gave him a cute puppy pout that he was certain she learned from Kat.
"Can I have ice cream after this daddy-Billy?" Larisa asked sweetly. There was no way in the world he could say no to that.
"Sure peanut," he said. Kat giggled.
"You're such a softy," Kat teased.
"Hey, she learned that look from you," Billy replied. Larisa's shot was soon over.
"Mama-Kat, how come no one saved Kira?" Larisa asked innocently. Kat and Billy exchanged glances.
"Well sweetie, the bad guys are keeping her away from us, but I promise that we're doing everything we can to get her back," Kat told her.
"Was Kira having one her attacks?" Billy asked.
"Uh huh, she was having them really bad. And I even saw a sign flash on her forehead," Larisa said.
"A sign? What kind of sign baby?" Kat asked.
"Well, kind of like the sign that is sometimes on my forehead. Only instead of a moon, it was a funny looking h with a cross through it," Larisa explained.
"The sign of Saturn," Michelle said.
"That's why Vile wants her! She's the sovereign of silence and Sailor Saturn. We have to find her and destroy her!" Amara ranted.
"Aunt Amara, why would you want to destroy my best friend Kira!" Larisa said, starting to get upset. Billy and Kat both gave Amara stern looks.
"Aunt Amara doesn't want to hurt Kira, she wants to hurt the bad people that did this to her," Kat explained. Larisa calmed down and Billy picked her up. Amara made sure Larisa was out of ear shot before speaking again.
"Princess, I know Kira is important to us, but if she is the sovereign, then we have no choice but to destroy her," Amara insisted.
"No, you can't! She's my cousin and she hasn't done anything wrong!" Kim insisted.
"Kimberly's right and I vow to do everything in my power to save her," Katherine assured Kimberly.
"Thanks Kat," she replied.
"But princess…" Amara began, but was cut off.
"I have made my decision. I will not lose anyone in this battle. I will find a way to free her and I will do everything I can to save her and the earth. Is that clear?" Kat said, in a tone that bore no argument. Amara sighed and relented. The scouts knew there was nothing they could do to save Kira right at that moment, so they left for the youth center to cool off and bide their time.
AN: Hope you liked it! Chapter 11 should be up soon. Thanks for reading and please review! Bye for now!
