Chapter 12- Past Memories
Last time: "The Moon is shadowed and only the love of a prince and the strength of her full soul can help us all."
Pluto looked at the princess that she had sworn to protect, so cold and evil.
"May Selene save us all."
"You! I remember you...y...you...you traitor! You were the one. YOU TOLD THE NEGA- VERSE....YOU KILLED EVERY ONE. Francis Calvin!"
Outer Moon turned. "What?! A...are..you sure?"
Sailor Moon went to answer when Hades blasted her.
"Hades! Why did you do that?!" Outer Moon yelled in anger and pain.
"B....because he is afraid of us...." Sailor Moon stood up. "I remember why you were unleashed."
Outer Moon's eyes widened. Sailor Moon looked at her and met her eyes with complete strength and determination. 'Why I was released?'
"What do you mean?"
"I'll show everyone." Sailor Moon smiled and brought out the silver crystal.
The silver crystal glowed and Sailor Moon's voice, regal as it had been one thousand years ago, steady and strong told her story.
"About nine years ago, I lived in a village in the mountains called the Summoner Village. Everyone in the village could do magic, weak or strong, and they had a prophecy. It said that a traitor would rise from the village and the dark warrior will rise to fight him. A child born with a crescent moon on her forehead would be the reborn Moon Princess and the future goddess Selene. When I was born, my mother and father and the village doctor kept my past a secret. I grew up a normal child with no worries. Then the generals from the negaverse came. They demanded Seven strong people. We refused and they went to attack people....starting with my mom. I screamed and the crescent moon appeared. They were forced to leave and vowed to return. (an. Don't they always?) Francis asked if he could train me. They agreed to stop suspicion. They passed it off as a freak show of power and that it ment nothing, that I had not been born with it. They...they came back six months later, I was five and a half. The night before the attack, I told my mom that they would attack and she told me not to worry. I woke up later and got dressed, taking the time key and the Luna-P ball that I had received as presents from Pluto, as Trista, and from Queen Serenity, given also by Pluto, I walked out. Finding no one in the house I went out side and into the village. There were people dead every where...."
Sailor Moon closed her eyes to gather herself and to prepare for the next part.
"I ran screaming for my parents. I turned a corner and saw my parents and the evil generals. There also was a person, shrouded in darkness. They asked for me...no demanded me and my parents told them never. They killed them. As my mom was dieing she saw me and told me to run. This brought the generals attention to me. I stood for a moment and ran. I didn't stop even when I saw the cliff. All I knew was that my mom had told me to run and not stop. I fell and next thing I remember was waking up in Trista's house."
Sailor Moon looked up at Hades. The scouts stood letting all of this sink in. Outer Moon stared at the floor. 'I awoke....because....of her pain?' Sailor Moon's voice went icey.
"You, Francis Calvin, betrayed us. You were the reason I lost my family. The reason I moved from house to house hiding and waiting till I got strong enough to fight and give you the punishment you deserve."
Hades/Francis laughed, "So, little princess, you have the memories still inside you? Do you remember everything?"
Sailor Moon closed her eyes. "I....I..."
"Do you remember how you were treated and shunned all those lonely years? Because you were a freak?" Hades/Francis laughed as he walked forward. A blast hit at his feet. He looked up to see Outer Moon pointing her scythe at him. Her eyes were molten silver, and her face hard. He tried to read her mind but couldn't. He shivered under her gaze and wondering what to do next.
"Stay back traitor. I understand now why I awakened. Serena was defenseless and I awoke to keep her safe. When she was able to fight on her own, I went back into sleep. I remember how she cried herself asleep and the pain she felt. I hid those memories from her, to protect her. You will not get any closer....or you'll die trying."
He smiled and put a hand in front of his chest. "I'll just let your.... Princess, distroy you." The two Moon warriors looked at each other then at Hades.
"Dark powers, sealed away, rise and fill the child of light with your corrupting powers..."
Sailor Moon sucked in a breath and stepped back. 'This spell, I remember it from some where.' *Outer Moon? Do you remember?*
"...Awaken in the soul, consume the heart, control the mind..."
Outer Moon frowned and got ready for an attack. *Yes, but it is escaping me to what it is.* Malachite put a hand on Sailor Moon's shoulder.
"Princess? Are you ok?" Serena nodded and turned to Outer Moon. *Outer Moon!*
Outer Moon flinched at the loud mind link. *Not so loud...What is it?* Serena watched Hades/Francis in fear and awe at the same time. *I remember that when I was little...while he was training me, that he put a dark crystal piece in me and that I had thought it was to help me control MY powers.* Outer Moon's head snapped around to look at her. *But it was to control you power as HE wanted?!* Sailor Moon nodded in fear. *Crap! Then how do we block the spell?*
"....to create havoc, to distroy lives...."
*I can't remember! I was only Four and a half when he did it! My memories are still not clear enough to remember things like that!* Outer Moon glared at her. *Then we're in deep, deep trouble....aren't we?* They looked up at Hades/Francis.
"Dark Crystal Activate! Awaken the dark child, the bringer of death and the sovereign." Hades/Francis finished. Sailor Moon gasped and closed her eyes.
*Outer...it's...oh...I'm....So...weak...* Outer Moon turned quickly and looked at her with panic across her face. *FIGHT IT!*
Sailor Moon collapsed onto the ground. Her transformation melted away leaving her in the outfit she had wore before every thing had taken place. Slowly, she felt a darker, more evil presence creep into her. The pain came from the shear evil and hatred coming back into her. She tried to fight it but was starting to lose.
"Serena! What's wrong?!" Prince Endymion came over to her and held her tightly. 'I can't lose her again....'
"Dark....crystal...inside....so evil....turning...me.." Serena gasped. Suddenly, Serena pushed Endymion away and stood up moving slightly away. "No! Don't....I won't do it! Hades/Francis, You can't ....make....me...." Serena said then screamed holding her head.
Outer Moon glared at Hades, "Stop this at once!"
He laughed at the scene. "Why? You your self said that you didn't care about anyone... only your mission and your self, and if someone dies then oh well, sacrifices will happen. Or is it that the cold emotionless Sailor of Death starting to show feelings? Over a slight girl...one that you left when she was still vulnerable?" Outer Moon looked at Serena.
{ "Pluto, Where is it?" Outer Moon shouted as she ran. Outer Moon ran through the streets, not caring about the stares she was receiving or her charge that she had left alone. She ran to a battle a monster. She had to get rid of it to protect....
"It's just ahead!" The answer came.
Outer Moon entered a playground and followed the screams and the gut instinct inside of her. What she didn't know was that this would change her. When she saw the monster, it held a small child in its grasp.
"Oh...no, how do I stop it with a child in it's arms?" Outer Moon pulled out her scythe, "I'll try to hit it from behind."
Outer Moon moved around so that the monster's back was to her. "Outer Moon Death Sphere!" She whispered. The monster felt the energy and turned. The small child came into the way of the blast.
"Oh NO!" Outer Moon tried to call back the attack but it was too late. The blast hit and killed both monster and child.
"Oh...no...." Outer Moon dropped to her knees. "What have I done? I...I killed a innocent child...." Tears fell as she realized what she had done. She stood and wiped the tears away.
"Pluto, This is your fault....you sent me and this happened. I hope you can hear me because I don't care! If an innocent dies then so be it! A part of me died today...I will forget my feelings.!"
Outer Moon found a alley and detransformed. Slowly, but carefully, she made it back home. She entered and sighed. Hearing laughter, Ana walked toward it. There sat a little girl with blonde hair up in the royal moon hair style. She played with a small ball of her energy as if it was a toy. The girl heard a noise and turned. Seeing Ana, the girl jumped up and ran to her.
"Auntie Ana, Did you beat the monster? Oh, Puu was here and she said that she'd be coming to get me later and take me for a trip and she said something about....." The girls face scrunched up as she tried to pronounce the word, "...my heritage and destiny. She said that the time has come that I need to learn to fight as a scout."
Ana smiled. 'Even though I deny my feeling, this little princess still gets to me. That's why she is the sovereign of life....'
"Yes, Serenity, I beat up the monster. Pluto was here? I guess that if you are taking a trip then we should pack up your things." Ana picked up the six year old.
Later, Serenity had gone to sleep. Ana came in and sat on the bed next to her. The small child slept soundly, her crescent moon visible on her forehead. Ana sighed. She knew that this was the time that she would be put back into slumber herself. The eclipse had reached the peak and it was going to start to end. Ana stroked the girls head.
'She's seen so much, yet she will see more. Even after watching her whole village, family, friends get slaughtered right in front of her, she still remains happy and full of life.'
Ana watched her charge sleep quietly. Serenity turned in her sleep murmuring moon kingdom, momma, and Endymion. Ana laughed at this thinking it was funny that already at six, Serenity was thinking about her prince.
"Good bye little princess. I will be far away but close by, I love you."}
A tear fell from Outer Moon's eye, "I forgot how important feelings are. I remember...now.." She turned to Hades/Francis. "Francis Calvin! The Outer Moon symbol does not float above your head but in front of your heart!" (an. She is shown who is ment to die by her symbol appearing above the person. It also means that the person might die soon.)
"Oh? Does it? Well to get to me...you have to go through your princess."
Serena went limp and floated in the air. Dark energy surrounded her and flashed. Serena stood in a dress (an. like Black lady/Wicked Lady 's dress in the #7 manga) She had an upright black crescent moon. She landed on the ground softly.
"You see Outer Moon, Sailor Scouts, Endymion and Generals, Serenity here is my greatest creation yet....the powers of life on our side. Invisible to attacks and the fact you can't hurt her." He paused then added, "With the powers of life, we can resurrect people we deem fit."
"Serena....Serenity, No....no.." Endymion choked out.
Hades/Francis snapped his fingers. Serena's opened them to reveal them vacant.
"One other thing, Princess Anastasia. She controls the Dark crystal."
Outer Moon gasped and put up a wall in time to save the scouts from a blast from Serena.
"Serena, I know you're still in there...you need to fight." Outer Moon screamed.
"There is no reason for me to fight." Serena's voice oddly cold and distant. "Why would you care?"
"Because you need me and I need you. Remember Little Princess, You were always happy and full of joy. Don't let this evil control you." Outer Moon replied still holding the shield up.
"I have no use for weak feelings. Anger, sadness, hate, revenge, This is where I belong." Serena said gesturing out ward. Saturn came up next to Outer Moon.
"No, you don't belong here. This place, this evil is distorying you and you are of light. Remember?"
"Serena, They will take away your innocence." Pluto added.
"Without you to lead, we will be lost." Uranus agreed.
"You showed me and the other guys what it is like to be free from darkness, how to care. We would be dead if it wasn't for you." Malachite said voicing the opinion of the four Generals.
"You brought our loves back to us, became our friends when no one else would." Venus said for the scouts.
"Serenity, please, I don't want to lose you. You never gave up on me...and I won't give up on you. I love you. We all do." Endymion said.
"These are lies, all lies....Your lying!" Serena yelled as she covered her ears, "I don't know don't know..." She repeated over and over. Hades/Francis's eyes flashed. Serena stopped and stood up straight.
" I will not listen any more. I am the Princess of Darkness, the bringer of the black crystal's power, Princess Serenity, ruler of the dark realms."
Hiya! Well, Serena's gone and turned evil again. Outer Moon has shown feelings and the past has been revealed. With the Eclipse beginning, Outer Moon's fate is on the line as well as the whole future. Hehe, I'm having a blast. Read and Review. I'll see you next chapter.
