Chapter 5

In the mind's eye...

Charles Xavier was stunned as he found himself back on the moon. But this time, he sees it as it was in all its glory. Beautiful marble statues and gardens that are lush and full of life. The people are laughing and chatting as they go about their business.

"I was happy then..." A figure whispers beside him. "I had my friends and everything that I could possibly want or have...until..."

"Until what?"

"Amy...you won't believe it the delegation from Earth is here!" A voice calls out as a young blonde with her hair done in meatballs heads their way. As if acting out the memory, Charles remains silent as the young woman responds.

"Really?"

"Yes come see..."

"I kind of wanted to finish this book."

"Nonsense...play now work later Amy...the others are already there...we are just waiting for you. NOW COME ON!"

Laughing silently, he watches as the young woman beside him allows herself to be pulled and he follows. Going through all the corridors and admiring what she remembers. They stop as the approach a balcony where three other young women stand in various gowns.

"Amy come on, take a look..." A dark haired one speaks out as she anticipates their arrival.

"Yeah Ames..." The other blonde speaks out. The red bow in her hair is vastly different from her orange dress. "It won't be the same to look and compare without you here..."

The young woman sighs and although she sounds aggravated as he looks at her. He sees the smile and the light in her eyes.

"Okay..." Approaching the balcony, the five young women gaze as a shimmering light arrives and expands. Within it or several figures but five seem to stand out. Four young men, wearing identical gray uniforms, except for the stripes of color, surround a young man in black armor. Conversing automatically, he chuckles as the girls catch their breath.

"Do you see them...?" Cries out the blonde with the bow, her excitement is mirrored as she converses with the other blonde over the guys appearances.

"He reminds me of my old boyfriend..." A red head whispers as she looks at one of them.

"Hmmmph. I can already tell one of them is going to be a pain..." The dark haired one in red mutters as she can see an attitude doe to her abilities to read people.

As they converse, Amy finds herself looking down and at that moment sensing he is being watched a young blonde, looks up with his green eyes, to catch hers. He nods his head in a warm and jovial smile.

Backing up, the others stop conversing as they observe their shy friend turning bright red.

"Amy?"

"Yeah what is it Ames?"

"Um nothing..." The young woman who normally has something to say for the first time feels stupefied. Now Mina, who is the blonde with the bow, senses something. Being the guardian and goddess of love that she is, she looks carefully and sees a cord coming from her kind hearted friend. It is a silvery blue in color and it is humming in...joy?

Looking and following, its light, she finds it connected to one of the men her and the others were talking about with the Princess. Her eyes lighting up as the same young man looks up as if searching for something where they are, she smiles in delight. Charles to is chuckling, saying nothing, for he had seen the shyness and the instant liking the blue haired girl had for the man with long blonde hair and green eyes.

"This is when I saw him the first time and contrary to what I thought Mina was right...I had met my soul mate."

"Your soul mate...?" He asks gently...allowing the image of the young woman to reflect.

"Yes...I never knew that finding him would cause so much happiness as well as heartbreak."

Charles blinks as he finds himself in the library next to her. Almost automatically she begins to act out the memory again and observing as she reaches for a book a hand that is definitely male reaches for it as well.

"Allow me?"

Turning around, she turns red as she sees the figure in front of her. "T...thank you"

"My pleasure...?" He replies looking at her, the warmth of his eyes and the look he gives her, causing her heart to beat even faster. His hands never letting go of the book, brush over her fingers, sending tingles up and down her spine.

"A..Amy..."

"The Princess of Mercury...perhaps I should bow?" He proceeds to do so despite her protests.

"There is no need..."

"But I must, it is always a wise choice to bow to a beautiful lady..."

Extremely flustered a bit, he turns his face only momentarily to look at the book. "I see you are interested in the history of Earth?"

"A little..."

"Then forget the book, your with me...allow me to tell you?" He asks with a slight hopeful tone to his voice.

"But I do not know you...I can not"

"The name is Zoicite...I am one of the four main guards to the Prince. Now you know who I am and I know who you are. You simply can not refuse..."

Her mouth opening but no words coming out, for his simple logic, has railroaded her into a corner, she simply nods her head. Offering his arm, she shyly takes it and together they walk out of the library.

"He unnerved me that day..." Charles hears again as she emerges beside him. "But yet, I have never felt that way before. We talked about so many things. He was impressed that I knew a lot. So much I wanted to know about him and his worlds and he of mine. The others teased me about him...they knew how much I liked him." She says quietly.

"The memories I have of him are so warm so happy... He needed me to reassure him...that just because he wasn't like the others, he could still do what had to be done. We...were the same and not at the same time. I knew my friends cared and so forth...he did as well. But his childhood was hard."

"How do you know?"

"He told me once. I tried to get him to tell me more, as the Princess had advised, but yet he said he doesn't like to think about it. The memory was too painful. So out of respect I didn't. Still I wanted to know..."

"What stopped you?"

"The Prince did actually. I asked him and he told me about his background and how his family had expected better of him. That he was the constant disappointment for not being like the others. I hurt for Zoicite...sure he wasn't big or brawny like a lot of men...but he was smart, he cared and I knew I could talk to him...and he would treat me like his equal. What I did though..."

Charles nods his head as he listens. One more memory erupts and it is one of extreme pain...

Gazing as she acts it out again, he witnesses the conversation between her and the Prince, and an irate young man finding out as he approaches.

"How dare you!" Zoicite exclaims. Despite the fact that he knows she has meant no harm, the fact that she is asking others about him, without his knowledge has hurt him terribly.

"Zoicite...I..."

"You what...I didn't want you to know about my past Amy...I wanted you to know me as I am now..."

"But your past is a part of who you are now..."

"No it isn't!" He exclaims. "The past did not make me Amy. I made me who I am. I thought I could trust you not to ask."

"Zoi, she only wanted to know more about you..." The Prince tries to exclaim and finds his friend whirling on him.

"And you just had to tell her knowing I don't like that to be brought up...ever..." He replies coldly. "I want my past to stay where it was Prince...forgotten. Goodbye Amy..."

She starts to cry as he stalks off angry. The moment becomes frozen, and Charles is approaching the figure with his own thoughts. Looking at the gaze upon the young man's face, he observes the pain and betrayal. His heart reaches out, for with a look alone, he realizes that it wasn't the fact that she went to ask the prince, it was the fact that she didn't ask him, persuade him if need be, that hurt the young man greatly.

Looking up at the figure, who stands silently crying, he feels the pain through her memory...

"What is wrong...?"

"The last time I saw him back then...after this...he was with the others...and the Shadows...with one look I knew it wasn't him anymore. He seemed so full of hate... It was my fault...it was my fault that he left that day hating me..."

"I don't think he hated you...from what you have told me and shown me...I think he cared a great deal."

Looking doubtfully, he feels the call of Luna and Artemis separating them. "The door is now open Amy, when we separate you will remember..."

"I know...will...will you help me?" She asks. Almost frightened for she knows the feelings that she had for him, even in her subconscious frighten her.

"You can talk to me as often as you would like..."

"Thank you..."

In reality, as the Professor opens his eyes. Luna and Artemis remove their hands and the gold glow from their crescent moons diminish. Amy opening hers starts to sob and she begins to cry. Looking at the professor sharply, the two felines are about so say something, when Amy shakes her head.

"Don't please...I remember now...I remember everything..."

Luna and Artemis nod their heads and both felines wrap their arms around the young girl. Despite the fact they created the connection; they had witnessed the events through their minds, and had felt the characters pain. Holding the young woman tightly, they rock her as pent up emotions held for 1000 years roam free.

Great Lakes, USA

Rising as if from the ground itself in a orchard much to the surprise of the farmer who owns it. A seal of stone has emerged. Upon its front, rests carvings in two languages. One is waiting for the one who can read it to open it up and release the one from inside. But to those who understand the ancient runes from long ago this is what says...

Betrayed by his family...

Respected by the Prince...

Cared for by She who is of ice...

Tricked and brainwashed into destroying what he treasures...

The General King of Space and Knowledge rests within...

May love set him free...

Germany...

Eric Lensherr, also known as the mutant Magneto, brooded, his mind focused on the extremely beautiful woman, who had come to see him earlier that day, having not wanted to see anyone, he had intended to send her away, but she simply strolled on in.

Flashback...

He watched in amazement as Sabertooth, his bodyguard despite, his craziness was tossed aside like nothing by the mere slip of a woman.

Gambit as well, tries to attack with his explosives, and tossed them at the woman, but she simply reflected with a gold shimmering shield and turned them back on the Cajun, much to his distress.

"I have no wish to fight you Mr. Lensherr or should I say Magneto. If I chose to I could destroy you easily..."

"What is it that you would have of me?" He replies as he comes down the stairs having witnessed what she had done to his two older employees. Glad that his children and their friends are under Mystique's care back at Bayside, he watches as the vibrant woman radiates with power.

Taking in her features, he sees the long blonde hair turning red at the ends that reach to her feet. The simple white dress she wears is sleeveless and cuts down to just below her breasts leaving nothing for the imagination.

"What would I have of you? Nothing for me, but for your world, it needs you now more than ever."

"I do not care...this world has treated me and my kind like we were less than dirt."

"Aaah you refer to the humans vs. the mutants' game that you are playing. It is insignificant to what will happen..."

"Which is what?"

"That of if you don't help your nemesis and friend still Charles Xavier and his team find those who wield the power of the planets and the generals...Apocalypse with the powers of Chaos itself will suck the life out of you and every living thing on the face of this planet."

"Apocalypse!" Eric exclaims growling enough that even Sabertooth is nervous a bit around him. They all remember when Apocalypse had possessed him and forced him to nearly destroy his children, Wanda and Pietro. With the help of the X-men they had barely managed to stop him, and the others possessed from doing Apocalypse's will.

"I see you remember what he had done to you. With Chaos, he can do far worse now..."

"I still do not believe you...what is in it for me?"

"What is in it you say? I will show you a glimpse of the future as it will be should you help Charles and his students..."

Watching as the woman approaches him, her fingers gazing upon his brow, he reels as images o peace and power flow through his mind. The crystalline spires and the mutants in peace with everyone else...

"This is Crystal Tokyo...the future that unless you help Xavier and the others find the Senshi and the Generals...will turn out like this..."

The image is replaced, and he screams in horror. The death around him is overwhelming. And the world as it seems, has lost all hope. But what hurts him is that he witnesses children, much like his own, dropping like flies in front of a creature that seems to grow stronger as they grow weaker.

"How...how can we stop it?"

"It is simple...find them...find them with Charles and his team...they will need you and yours to defeat what is yet to come. The Prince and Princess along with their crystals and court are your only hope..."

Turning to leave she begins to shimmer with a powerful light.

"Just who or what are you?"

"Just call me Galaxia and I am a Senshi, the one who represents the Galaxy..." She fades, away leaving him to his thoughts...

Flashback ends...
