Chapter 9 : Eternity
Arius looked at the cloud slowly disappearing wanting to see the senshi's corpses when suddenly a bright light exploded.
"What's the hell?"
The three generals looked at the area, the senshi were alive, one of them had shielded the others. But protecting the others seemed to have killed her.
Moon was the first to recover she looked up and saw her most trusted senshi who had used her own body to protect them. She seemed to be petrified in a standing position, not even breathing. One by one the senshis looked at their saviour. Dead, she seemed to be dead, arms extended. Eternal Moon heard her friends crying and couldn't stop her own cry in despair
"Rei-chan noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" She stood up and ran to her friend shaking her, trying desperately to make her react.
"Please Rei-chan look at me, yell at me, anything, onegai...You can't leave me... Rei-chan, please."
Uranus could only let a word pass her lips "Pyro"
She came to her friend, her little sister, followed by Neptune, Saturn, Pluto then the others, one by one. They looked at the fire senshi face, instead of her flaming violet eyes there seemed to be a void, nothing... her chest wasn't moving. Mercury was trying to find a pulse, a heartbeat... Nothing. With a cry of total despair Saturn tried to heal her... she wasn't reacting; she seemed frozen, frozen in death standing like the warrior she was. All of them were crying Moon transformed in her princess form, trying to use her crystal who had returned to her, forgotten by the stunned general, their only hope. It didn't react.
The inners sank in their knees, unable to stand their friends death, Mamoru in his prince form was holding his lover, looking tearfully at his friend, she was gone...
A crying Seiya touched her beautiful cheek 'Rei-chan, no, not you, not now...' He looked angrily at the Neo negaverse warriors "You're dead!" he let out a yell of pure rage.
Aruis and his Generals looked at the scene surprised, this senshi even giving her life had stopped powerful attacks it was impossible. Arius was dumbfounded Mars was an incredible warrior, yes she had given her life, but she had blocked his two most powerful generals attacks 'incredible'. He heard a laugh and turned to see Firus laughing like a mad man while Seferus seemed as surprised as him. He didn't know why but he was angry at his third in command 'how dare he! She was a real fighter she deserve respect even if she was our enemy.' He was about to make Firus shut up when a yell of pure rage could be heard.
"BASTARD! You... You killed my Pyro!" I'll destroy you even if it's the last thing I do! I'll destroy you! WORLD SHACKING!"
"STAR SERIOUS LASER!"
"For Rei-chan! OAK EVOLUTION!"
"DEEP SUBMERGE!"
"LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!"
"STAR SENSITIVE INFERNO!"
"STAR GENTLE UTERUS"
"AQUA RAPSHODY"
"STARLIGHT HONEYMOON THERAPY KISS"
The attack didn't faze them.
"Stupid girls you can't do anything against us" laughed Firus "Negaflare!"
They had used all their energy in that attack, nothing could be done, nothing. 'No I can do something' though the senshi of death and rebirth.
Pluto was absorbed looking at her dear friend thoughtfully 'Rei-chan...' She looked surprised at her friend dead body. 'Is.. is that a tear?'
She turned hearing her friends cry of pain. 'Eternity, please come to us, you can't let us die, please...' She looked at her daughter ready to attack, ready to die for the ones she loved. "Eternity please! It's time. Great Princess!"
"It's time to stop you even if I die in the process! Silence glaive enhance!"
"Noooooooooooooooo! Saturn!" cried Serenity
Suddenly a flash of light blinded every body. "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
They all turned toward the source of the cry.
"It can't be..." whispered Mercury. They all began to run toward her.
"Rei-chan!"
"No!" said Pluto stopping them don't come near her she won't recognize you!"
"What are you saying Pluto!"
"Look at her eyes Serenity."
Mars had her eyes glazed, like hypnotised.
"What's... What's happening to her?" asked Fighter
"Destiny..." was the only word living the lips of the senshi of time. "Finally."
Firus attacked Mars
"Negaflare!"
While his companions were looking at the "dead senshi"
"She... It's... her…" was the only thing that Arius could say
Firus attack hit Mars but it didn't seem to hurt her. She wasn't even paying attention to him. She closed her eyes. Her outfit disappeared in fire leaving her naked the only thing on her was a necklace. She crossed her arms over her chest, the pendant began to glow. She opened her eyes and de crossed her arms saying at the same time.
"Power of Good and Evil transform!"
Every body gasped in shock
"It can't be" whispered Endymion
They all looked at the transformation. A cream dress appeared on Rei body a single tear fell from her cheek reappearing in her forehead, there, it mixed with the Mars and Moon insignia taking a really pale pink colour and solidifying in a jewel holding by two little chain by each side. A little wand appeared before her hand transforming in a sceptre when she grasped it. She was beautiful... she was the great princess... She was... Eternity.
"Py.. Pyro is our hime.." said Haruka
Eternity raised her hand that wasn't holding her sceptre. She finally opened her eyes and looked at Firus. Eyes glazed showing no emotion. She opened her hand
"Hell's Eternal flame."
A black and red fire shoot from her hand hitting him, destroying his shield, he didn't even have time to scream immediately becoming a pile of ashes.
"Eternity my dear it's good to see you again. Do you remember me?"
She looked at him "Arius. I...I think I remember you now... Out of my sight! Now!"
He chuckled, looking at her lustfully
"You haven't changed my love! I'll go now but don't forget I'll come back. You're mine"
"Arius, I'll never be yours. Next time I see you, you'll be dead;"
She clenched her teeth and muttered "Hell's Eternal flame"
"Dark Inferno!"
The two attacks clashed annulling each other.
"I'm far more powerful than in the Silver Millennium, love. See you later, hopefully in my bed." he winked and disappeared with Seferus
"Asshole better dead than with you!"
Suddenly she felt dizzy, flashes were hitting her, it was, it was her past, her memories were coming back, she was Beryl's daughter... all was coming back at once. Endymion, Selenity, Serenity ...'Oh God!' She held her head it was too much 'stop please, I...I can't take it!' She fell on her knees
"Eternity Hime!" the senshis ran to her trying to calm her
"Rei -chan what's happening?" asked Moon worried for her friend, her sister... the realisation hit her, Rei was her sister, she hold her "Si... Sister what's happening?"
"She's remembering." explained Pluto "we all will soon."
"Hime" said Neptune worried
"We're here" said Saturn trying to stop her Hime pain
Suddenly she stopped trembling, and came back to her human clothes, then she whispered something again and again crying but they couldn't understand her.
"What are you saying Rei-chan" asked Ami gently
"A monster... I'm a monster!" cried the priestess tears falling from her eyes
She stood up pushing away her friends and began running and before any of her friends could stop her, she was driving away in her motorcycle.
On the negaverse, Arius was in the throne room re passing the events of the day. Finally he had found her. The woman he searched for so long, his dark angel, his future queen.
'You'll be mine my love, now that I found you I'll never let you escape.'
"Arius, we lost her. What will we do now?"
"You're wrong Seferus we haven't lost her."
"But she awakened protecting the senshis."
"Yes but right now, hers memories are coming back; she'll be confused and scared. She'll be ready for us. Don't worry too much."
"But with Serenity and Endymion near her…"
"Don't mention his name! He won't have her! Never again!"
"Hai my Lord."
"We'll rule together the universe. It won't end like last time. Leave me alone now. I need to think about our next move."
'My love, this time you'll be mine. Selenity is not here to stop me and Endymion ….' He smirked 'He'll die as soon as he dares to touch you my fiery princess. Mars who would have tough that, very astute Selenity. I wouldn't have imagined that. But it's logical you always had fire in you love. A true spitfire, I remember our first meeting' Memories of the Silver millennium flooded
Flashback
"Arius what are you doing in my kingdom?"
"Queen Selenity I'm here to propose you an alliance against Beryl."
"Against your Queen, isn't that betrayal?"
"You know she's a treat for you and she's thinking of getting ride of me because I'm too powerful. Alone you won't defeat her but with my army …"
"You're quite sincere, I appreciate this…"
'I've got her! The Moon is mine.'
"However I don't think I can trust you. As soon as you'll have control over the Negaverse you'll try to destroy my kingdom."
Arius frowned 'bitch!'
"Take your time to think about my offer, my queen, we could make an alliance."
He stood up
"It'll help us both…"
"Mum!"
"Mother!"
Arius turned to look at the new persons entering in the throne room. The first girl was blond with beautiful blue eyes; she was wearing a white gown Selenity twin only younger, she seemed pure as crystal, an angel. But it was the second girl who caught his eyes she was beautiful with violet eyes and violet raven hair wearing a cream dress. 'A dark angel' was his first thought.
"Serenity, Eternity I told you to stay in your room!"
"But Mum" whined the blond princess "I want to go see the senshis."
"Majesty who are those beautiful ladies?" asked Arius
The blond girl blushed looking at him shyly while the dark haired girl eyed him suspiciously.
Selenity seemed disturbed by the way he eyed her girls. His lustful gaze didn't escape her.
"General Arius I present you my daughters Serenity and Eternity."
Arius kissed the two princess hands letting his lips linger while looking in the dark eyes of Eternity.
"Nice to meet you General"
"The pleasure is mine Princess."
Eternity looked away a little flustered. The General could feel a dark power within her and didn't understand why.
"General, our meeting is over. I'm sorry but I can't accept with your offer."
"Are you sure? I'll come back in a month to hear you definitive choice."
He turned toward the dark angel.
"I hope to see you soon my dear."
"General."
End flashback
When he turned back to the negaverse he couldn't stop his thoughts Eternity was always on his mind. As promised he came back a month later.
Flashback
"Majesty what's your decision? Will you ally with me?"
"As I said a month ago, I don't trust you and I can't ally with somebody I don't trust."
"Do you trust your family?"
"Of course!"
Arius smiled he caught her. He will have what he dreamed about since their last encounter
"So I have a proposition that will satisfy you."
"What is it?"
"Give me Eternity in marriage."
"What!"
"As your son in law you'll trust me and I'll protect you. Beside I want her."
"You can't be serious!"
"Mother, I think it's up to me to answer." Interrupted a new voice
"Eternity!" gasped the Queen
"I'm sorry General but I can't accept your offer, I don't love you."
Her answer was devoid of emotion. The Queen let out a sigh of relief
"You'll love me. You'll learn."
"I'm sorry but my heart is somebody else's"
Arius gritted his teeth
"I'll help Beryl destroy your Kingdom Selenity and then I'll take what's mine!"
"Out!" shouted the Queen losing her calm
He looked at Eternity
"You'll be mine my dark angel, my love and together will rule the Universe! There's something evil in you I can feel it. And that evil will take you to me!"
He took hold of her arms. Her gaze never wavered; he kissed her forcefully crushing her tender lips with his. She bitted him.
"Never!"
She punched him, eyes full of hate. He smirked at her
"You won't have a choice my love."
"OUT! Guards!" cried the Queen
"Don't worry my Queen; I'll come back for my dark Princess."
He smirked another time and looked in Selenity eyes.
"By the way, your daughter has a really beautiful necklace or is it adopted daughter?"
The eyes of the Queen were full of fear 'he knows, oh my god he knows!'
"I bet Eternity would like to know who is her true mummy don't you love?"
"What is he saying mother?"
"Don't listen Eternity!"
"Oh my god, it's true!"
"No my baby, don't listen! Guards!"
"I'm leaving, goodbye love see you soon"
End flashback
That day he understood who she really was. He saw her necklace only one time : Beryl's baby was wearing it before she throwed her toward a certain death. He didn't know how but she survived and ended up in the Moon kingdom. How he didn't know and didn't care. She'll become his Queen and with their two powers he'll rule the Universe.
After that day he spied her, and that's when he saw her with him! That bastard! He was kissing, even fucking what was his! But he had to wait, and look wishing it was his name she called.
Before Beryl attacked the Moon kingdom, he was sent away to fight the outers stopping the reinforcement toward the Moon. When he came back his love was dead, killed by her true mother. Then he had waited for her to reborn and finally she was here. To think she was just under his nose and he was about to kill her. Sailor Mars was his obsession, his love. Now he won't lose his chance to have her.
Another chapter ended. I know it was quite obvious that Rei was Eternity since the beginning. Hope you've like it. I'll try to update soon. Don't forget to review, please.
