The Hidden Life
Chapter 10 - Truths Revealed
"I... it... it can't be!" Aurora stuttered out as she looked at the two women. The brown haired one nodded.
"It's us all right."
"Sorry we didn't tell you sooner," the other woman continued "but we weren't allowed." she glared at Pluto during the last part of what she said.
Pluto just shrugged.
"How can you be alive?" Aurora continued to ask, trying to get more information.
"Pluto showed up at the hospital and teleported us to the time gates. There, we recuperated and was sent to an OZ base where we were captured. While we were in the cell, we disguised ourselves as males. Then these guys came and rescued us." replied the first woman. Aurora smiled. "Come here." she said to them. Both of them ran to her and all three hugged each other. "It's good to see you again... Sam and Holly." The guys' were shocked. 'Sam and Holly are still alive?' they all thought at the same time. The trio separated. Aurora turned to the guys.
"Guys, these are my two best friends. Samantha Paronto," she gestured to the red head "and Holly Holt." she gestured to the brunette. They both waived and smiled.
"Well, now that that's settled, we must continue on." announced Uranus, who was getting anxious. Pluto nodded in agreement.
"First we must awaken Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars." Pluto looked at Sam and Holly. Samantha, please step forward." Sam stepped close to Pluto. "Aurora, I'm going to need your help. She's a scout, but I don't know which one."
Aurora stepped up to Sam and placed her right index finger on her forehead and concentrated. Soon, Sam started glowing green and the symbol for Jupiter appeared.
"Well, it looks like Jupiter will be awakened first." Pluto commented. She help her staff out and the top touched Sam's head. The Garnet Orb started to glow along with Sam. A few minutes later, Sam yelled out
"Jupiter Crystal Power! Make Up!"
She transformed into Super Sailor Jupiter. Trowa's eyes nearly bugged out of his head.
'Damn she's fine!' he thought to himself while looking at Sam. Aurora looked at Trowa and heard his thoughts loud and clear. She smirked. Trowa then noticed Aurora looking at him like she knew what he was thinking and lightly blushed. She smiled and slightly nodded her head. His visible eyes widened a little. Aurora chuckled softly and returned her gaze on Sam. Meanwhile, Sam had detransformed and was waiting for Aurora to do the same to Holly.
"Aurora!" Pluto said again for the third time. Aurora turned back to her.
"Yes?"
"I said it's time for Holly's turn." Pluto said exasperated.
"Fine." Aurora stepped up to Holly and repeated what she did to Sam. Then Pluto did her thing and soon Holly was shouting out "Mars Crystal Power! Make Up!" She quickly transformed into Super Sailor Mars. Heero looked at Holly and thought along the same lines as Trowa. Aurora also looked at him the exact same way she looked at Trowa and smiled slightly and nodded. Heero raised his left eyebrow in question.
[I know what you're thinking about Holly, Heero.] said a voice in his head.
'Wha...?' he said to himself after he heard the voice in his head. 'I must be hallucinating.'
[No, you actually heard me in your head.] said the voice.
'Who are you?'
[Aurora. I'm telepathic. I can hear anyone's thoughts if I wanted to.]
Heero looked over at Aurora and she just nodded. Then she looked back at Holly who had detransformed some time ago.
"I'll come with you to find Mercury and Venus." Aurora said to Pluto. Pluto nodded. She opened a portal for them to leave through. Aurora turned to Wufei.
"I'll be back soon. Please don't antagonize Haruka." she turned to the rest of the outers. "Detransform and introduce yourselves properly. And Haruka, don't hurt my boyfriend too much!" Uranus nodded. "Good. Later!" Aurora and Pluto walked through the portal and disappeared.
The three outers detransformed soon after the two left. Haruka looked at Wufei.
"So, your my Queen's boyfriend, huh?" she asked with a glean in her eyes.
"Yes. What's it to you?" he growled back. Haruka advanced on him. He stood his ground and glared at her.
"She is my Queen, and an older sister to me. I want her to be happy. If you make her happy, then I'm cool with you. If you don't make her happy, I'm going to hurt you. Cause her any pain, suffering or heartbreak, I will kill you. Got it?" Wufei nodded.
"There will be no need to worry. She's going to be treated the way she wants to be treated. I love her too much to hurt her." Haruka smile, liking his answer.
"Good. Now, Duo." She turned to Duo and glared. He gulped. "I'm going to keep my eye on you. If I ever catch you playing a prank on Aurora, then I will put you through hell with my katana. Got it?" he nodded and shrank away.
The two appeared in front of a house that looked runned down. Aurora turned to Pluto.
"You sure one of them lives here?" Pluto nodded.
"Yes." the two walked up to the door. "You should transform. It'll help with the process."
"All right." A bright light emitted from her and seconds later, Sailor Cosmos stood in her place. Pluto smirked.
"Show off."
"Up yours." they joked. Both rolled their eyes at the other. Pluto then knocked on the door.
The door opened to reveal a blonde girl of about 5'5".
"Hello. May I help you?" she asked.
"Yes. I am Sailor Pluto and this is Sailor Cosmos. Are you, by chance, Melany Arrows?" the girl nodded.
"Good. May we come in? We have to tell you something of great importance." Cosmos stated. Melany let them enter.
"What is it that you need to speak with me?" Cosmos and Pluto did their thing. The symbol of Venus appeared on the girl's forehead.
"Venus Crystal Power! Make Up!" Melany transformed into Super Sailor Venus. Then she detransformed and looked at Pluto.
"I remember you, but I don't remember her." she pointed to Cosmos. "Who is she?"
"All will be revealed once we awaken Mercury and return to where we will be staying at." Pluto said. She turned and opened a portal. The three stepped through.
When they stepped out on the other side of the portal, the three were in front of a small mansion. They walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. A butler answered the door and showed the three to the sitting room. Soon, a girl came down the stairs and greeted them. She stood about 5'6" and had short strawberry blonde hair.
"Hello, my name is Anastasia Matthews. I was told you were looking for me." Cosmos nodded and stepped up to the girl as did Pluto. They did their thing and minutes later Anastasia yelled out "Mercury Crystal Power! Make Up!" and transformed into Super Sailor Mercury. Seconds later, she detransformed.
"All right. Who are you?" she asked Cosmos. "I've never seen you before. Are you new?"
Cosmos looked at the reincarnate of Mercury. "All will be revealed in due time." she answered. "Now, shall we continue home?"
"Yes. Come with us to where we live at." Pluto said to Anastasia.
"All right. Let me go and tell my dad that I'm going out." she ran off. A few minutes later she came running in.
"Let's go." Pluto opened a portal and the four disappeared.
A bright light appeared in the room where the pilots and outer scouts congregated and 4 figures were left after the light disappeared. Two of the four women could be recognized, but the other two were strangers.
Pluto and Cosmos detransformed. Wufei smiled.
"Onna!" he called out happily. Haruka glared at him. Aurora and the two strangers looked at him. Aurora smiled.
"Fei-chan!" she exclaimed and lunged at him. He caught her and held her close. Haruka's glare softened when she saw the love on both of their faces. She cleared her throat. The couple pulled away slightly, though Wufei kept her in his arms.
"Who are they?" Haruka asked, pointing to the two strangers.
"The blonde is Melany Arrows and the strawberry blond is Anastasia Matthews." the two waved when their names were said. "Also known as Sailors' Venus and Mercury respectively. Girls," Aurora turned to the two 'newbie's'. "These 4 women are my guardians and close friends. Haruka Tenoh - Sailor Uranus, Michiru Kaioh - Sailor Neptune, Hotaru Tomoe - Sailor Saturn, and Setsuna Meioh - Sailor Pluto. The other two are my very best friends. Samantha Paronto - Sailor Jupiter, and Holly Holt - Sailor Mars." Melany and Anastasia looked at the other women in the room. Then they noticed the guys.
"Who are they?" Melany asked, pointing to the guys. Aurora followed the finger to where she was pointing.
"They are my team. The blonde is Quatre Winner - owner of the house we're in, the tallest with light brown hair covering one green eye is Trowa Barton, the braided one is Duo Maxwell, the one with dark brown hair is Heero Yui, and," she paused and turned slightly to her boyfriend "this is Wufei Chang - my boyfriend."
"Cool. Nice to meet all of you. Now, you said once we got here all would be explained." Anastasia said. "Now, who are you?" Aurora sighed.
"All right. I'll start at the very beginning. It all started thousands of years ago in the Silver Millennium, right before Queen Selenity became Queen of the Moon..." she told the story of hoe past, who she was, how she came to be, all the way up till now, editing out that she was a Gundam pilot, as were the boys, and Holly and Sam of Leos.
"Wow." was what Mel and Stacy(this is what I'm going to be referring them to from now on) said once the story was finished.
"So you're actually the oldest daughter of Queen Selenity? Did Princess Serenity know of you?" asked Stacy.
"No, I was born a few hundred years before her. Serenity didn't know of me because I was always on training trips with the other Queens of the planets, learning your guys' powers and other things."
"That must have sucked, huh?" asked Mel.
"Sometimes. But not always. I had the chance to travel and explore. Something Serenity wasn't allowed to do." Aurora got up and started to walk up the stairs, Wufei following right behind her.
"I'm going to bed." she said once she reached the top of the stairs. "I'll need all the rest I can get for tomorrow. Teleporting to another dimension and then back with more people is going to require a hell of a lot energy than I used today. Goodnight." her and Wufei continued to their room. The others continued to talk, but Pluto had went back to the time gates soon after Aurora had departed. Mel looked questioningly at the others.
"Aurora is going to bring Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion to our dimension?" she asked. Everyone except Anastasia nodded. "Why?"
"Because the new evil is more powerful that all of us scouts combined." Haruka answered. A look of understanding appeared on Mel's and Stacy's faces.
"So we need more power, and because the Silver Crystal is the most powerful gem in the universe."
"Actually, no it isn't." Hotaru piped up. "The Silver Crystal isn't that powerful. The Cosmos crystal is the most powerful because it has powers from everything in the Universe."
All of the scouts' eyes widened.
"Are you sure?" Haruka asked.
"Yes. And because Aurora is Cosmos, she is the most powerful person. And right behind her is me, because I have the powers of Death and Rebirth. I am of the Dark whereas she is of Light. One cannot exist without the other. Wherever she goes, I go. The Silver Crystal is only a tool for which Serenity focuses her power through. She is as powerful as Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto combined." Hotaru explained. Then she got up, and headed for the stairs.
"I'm turning in. See you all in the morning." Everybody decided to follow her example and they too, went up the stairs to go to bed.
