CHAPTER 7
"Julie... Um, I mean Fira, can you tell me why you and your sisters were after Sailor Moon?"
"Supposedly she killed our older sister, Esumerodo." Fira said.
"No, that's not true. Sailor Moon destroyed the Wise Man, not your sister!" ChibiUsa shouted.
"Are you sure? Do you have any proof?" Fira asked.
"No, but I just know she's innocent Fira."
"You really think so?"
"Yes. C'mon we've got to talk to my mother." ChibiUsa told Fira as they ran towards the palace.
"why?" asked Fira.
"D'uh, because she was Sailor Moon when she was about my age."
"And?"
"And she would know what really happened."
"Oh!"
"Oh wow! These are so pretty, Endymion-sama." Minako told him as they too, went through the gardens. Endymion had told her, that he had been taking care of the gardens, since the day of his wedding.
"I can't believe it, you actually did all this by yourself." Minako said.
"Well, not all by myself, the gardeners insisted on helping me." he said smiling to himself.
"That's not what you told me." a sudden voice said, "You said you did it all by yourself." Knowing he was in "trouble", Endymion turned to face his accuser.
"Ser... Serenity... where'd did you... pop from?" he asked his wife.
"Am I seeing things, is the King afraid of his wife?" Minako whispered to Mamoru.
"Oh! Endymion, you know I was just joking around. I love your garden, with or with out help." Serenity told her husband as she kissed him. Then suddenly she fall to the ground.
"Serenity!" Endymion cried out as Mamoru caught her. "Are you alright? What happened?" Mamoru asked her.
"I... I don't know. I just suddenly felt very weak." she answered.
"Um, are we suppose to see through the queen?" asked Minako.
"What do you mean?" Mamoru asked.
"I mean, Serenity-sama is fading." Minako said pointing at the queen.
"WHAT?" both Endymion and Mamoru cried as they turned to look at Serenity.
"Halt, who goes there?" a guard asked when he heard the sound of foot steps. "Come out, so I can see you!" he demanded.
"Alright, don't get your boxers in a knot. Give us a minute, will ya?" a voice shouted back at him.
"Prin... Princess, is that you?" the guard asked.
"Oops, cat's out of the bag, well here goes nothing." ChibiUsa wispered to Fira and come out of the shadows.
"ChibiUsa-sama, are you OK?" he asked her.
"Yes, I'm fine. Where's my mother? Can I see her?" she ask.
"Yes, of course." he said, then to Fira he added, "You may come too."
"What's taking Fira so long?" Gaia thought to herself angrily as she paced back and forth in her room. Mizuko then came in.
"Really Gaia, if you keep this up, there'll be a hole in the floor." she said "I'm sure Fira's OK. Besides she's a big girl, she can take care of herself."
"I know that. It's just, you guys are my responsibility and mom made me promis to take extra care of Fira. If they hurt one hair on her head, I'll bury them alive." Gaia told her. Mizuko went to her sister and held her hands.
"Gaia, give her some time. If you keep yourself occupied, she'll show up in no time." she said hoping this would reassure her sister.
"You know, Mizuko, you're right. Fira will be all right and I do need to relax. I know, I'll rest for a bit, then when she does show up I'll be relaxed and I won't look like I was worried."
"That, Gaia, sounds like a good idea!" Mizuko said in agreement.
Leaving Gaia's room, Mizuko saw Kazeko looking in a small mirror.
"What are you doing Kazeko?" she asked.
"I was worried about Fira, so I thought I'd see what she's doing." Kazeko told her.
"And?"
"Well from what I can see, it looks like she's a prisoner and is being lead to the dungeons." Kazeko said, without looking up from the mirror.
"NANI... I mean... nani!" Mizuko said in shock. "I've got to tell Gaia. This is not good." she said turning back to Gaia's room.
"Good idea, Mizuko." Kazeko called to her. When Mizuko was gone, Kazeko smiled devilishly, "Good, she fell for it. A little pay back for ignoring me and to pay for the embarrassment those Senshis caused me. They're all in for a BIG surprise." she thought as she snickered to herself.
"Gaia... Gaia..." Mizuko shouted as she entered the room.
"What... what's wrong Mizuko? Is Fira back? Is she alright?" Gaia asked, half asleep.
"Fira's been made a prisoner and is in a deep damp dungeon." Mizuko said.
"What? Are you sure? How do you know this?" a now very alerted Gaia asked.
"Kazeko told me."
"C'mon then, we've got to save her!" Gaia said as she left her room with Mizuko close behind. "Kazeko, c'mon we're leaving."
"Why Gaia?"
"Why... are you serious?" Mizuko asked. "Something's wrong here, why would Kazeko say she was worried about Fira and then totally forget about the whole thing." she thought.
"Because Fira's in trouble." Gaia's voice snapped Mizuko out of her thoughts. "Or did you forget that?"
"No of course not." Kazeko replied, smiling to herself.
"She's defenitly up to something." Mizuko thought, when she caught a cleams of Kazeko's smile.
Back at the palace gardens, Serenity looked from her husband to Mamoru and back. She chuckled.
"I'm alright, you two." she said.
"Are... are you sure?" Endymion asked.
"Yes!" she said and laugh.
"So, locking up our sister is funny." a voice demanded angrily. Looking up, the four of them recognized Gaia, Mizuko and a evil looking Kazeko.
"What are you talking about?" Mamoru asked as he and Minako went in front of the couple to protect them. "I asked what are you talking about?"
"We return your daughter and what do you do in return? You take our sister prisoner and put her in your dungeon." Mizuko told them.
"ChibiUsa's back?" Serenity asked, tears filling her eyes.
"You mean you haven't seen them?" Gaia asked suspiciously.
"Lier! She's lying, Gaia!" Kazeko shouted "Just like they lied about Sailor Moon." she shouted again, turning to the four and attacked them.
"Kazeko, what are you doing?" Gaia asked, as she stepped in front of her.
"I'm going to kill the liers." she said.
"Mamoru-san, if we're going to be fighting, don't you think we should change?" Minako whispered, seeing that the girls were distracted.
"Yes, but first, take Endymion-sama and Serenity-sama to safety. Change and contact the others, we just might need the help." he wispered back.
"What about you?" Minako asked.
"I'll be fine. Now, go!" he told her. Turning to the couple, Minako told them to fallow her.
Once in the throne room, Minako turned to leave, but was stopped by a grip on her wrist.
"I want to help." Serenity said.
"Serenity-sama, it would be best if you stayed here, away from the danger." Minako said.
"But..."
"No, Serenity. The Senshis can handle this, it's their job, to protect us." Endymion told his wife. Knowing her husband was right she let go of Minako and watched her leave them.
Closing the throne room doors, Minako contacted her friends, then took out her transforming pen and cried out "Venus Star Power... Make up!" Once transformed Venus ran to join Mamoru.
"Hopefully he found a way to transform." she thought.
Well, no words to translate, so what do you think? Let me... well you know what to do. Until chapter 8. Later!
