Okay, now I'm jumping forward to when we find out Usagi's the Moon Princess. I don't own Sailor Moon.
Mercury's eyes widened as one of her best friends in the world, Sailor Moon, transformed in the Moon Princess they were trying to find.
"She's been here the whole time…" she murmured, watching as she completed her transformation and stood over Tuxedo Kamen, who they now know as Chiba Mamoru.
"Endymion…" Serenity murmured and flashes of memories flew at Mercury.
'Endymion…Prince of the Earth…Zoisite was his general, but was turned evil by Beryl…died…' Mercury pieced together, eyes watering. "I finally remember it all." she murmured so no one could hear.
"How sweet. But I do need to take care of this pesky princess, so die!" Zoisite created an ice spear!
"No, Zoisite!" Mercury cried, not caring who saw her. She ran up to the man and grabbed his arm.
"What do you think you're doing?" he growled, eyes full of hate.
Mercury stared into his eyes, her own eyes watering up again. "Please don't do this, Zoisite. Please remember…"
"Remember what?" he scoffed. "My past? I was and always will be servant to Queen Beryl." He began to push her off, but she wouldn't let go.
"No, you were a general to Prince Endymion. You protected him with your life. Please remember it. Remember me. It's me, Ami. Princess Ami of Mercury. Remember the ring? Remember how much you loved me? Please remember…" she began to sob, repeating what happened on the Moon Kingdom.
Zoisite watched this, confused. 'Why is she crying? And why am I worrying about her?' He shook his head and pushed her back hard, sending her flying on her butt. "Get away from me, Sailor Brat! I'll destroy you after I destroy your precious princess."
But as he turned to attack, he heard "Moon Healing Escalation!" Looking up, he cried in pain as a bright pink light hit him dead on.
Mercury watched, heart split. 'I wish to help him, but I need to protect Princess Serenity.' Shutting her eyes, she slowly stood up and walked over to Zoisite.
Groaning, he opened his eyes and saw Mercury walking toward him. "What do you want? Destroy me already."
Mercury smiled weakly, tears falling down her cheeks. "I do not wish to destroy you, but since you can not, or will not, remember our past, I'll just have to leave you alone." She took something off around her neck. "But please take this to remember me." She laid it in his hand and walked back towards the others.
Staring after her, Zoisite looked down at the object. It was a small, blue pendant with a strange mark on it. Staring at it, Zoisite couldn't help but remember it was from somewhere.
'But where…?' he thought, staring at the group, but intently on Mercury as she bent down to lift the unconscious Serenity onto her lap. 'I'll figure that out later.' He got up to go when a voice boomed through the room.
"Get Tuxedo Kamen, NOW!" Beryl's voice shouted.
"No!" the senshi shouted back, shielding him as well as Serenity. Mercury realized Zoisite was outnumbered. 'Please protect him, pendant of Mercury. Please protect Zoi.' she prayed, closing her eyes.
To everyone's shock, the pendant began to glow. The senshi didn't see Mercury give him the pendant, so they thought it was an attack. Zoisite, on the other hand, realized what it was.
'Wait, this is the pendant of….' trying hard to remember, he recalled one word. 'Mercury…But why would she give it to me?' Looking over at her, he realized she was praying for him. 'She's protecting me against her own friends.'
The light grew brighter and covered him completely, outfitting him in the outfit of a Mercury warrior.
"How did that happen?" Jupiter gasped, staring at his outfit.
"I'm not sure, but lets go!" Venus shouted.
They ran at him, getting ready to attack. But just as they hit him, a blue force field bounced them back.
Sliding on their butts, Mars stared. "What is that?"
"Some kind of force field." Venus said, getting up.
"I think we knew that, Venus." Jupiter mocked, standing up as well.
Mercury watched, feeling weaker by the moment. 'I can't keep this up much longer. They'll find out and ask why I'm protecting the enemy…' she wavered, trying hard not to pass out on Serenity.
Zoisite watched from the corner of his eye and saw Mercury shake. He felt his heart contract. 'Why do I care if she passes out?' he thought, feeling the energy around him waver as well. 'I might as well use this power while I have it…'
He created an energy ball and threw it at the arguing senshi. Screaming in pain, the three girls flew backwards.
"Girls…!" Mercury weakly called, but knew she had to protect Serenity. Looking over at Zoisite, she saw him walk towards the girls.
"Please, Zoisite, don't…" she weakly pleaded, hoping for him to turn to her. When he stopped, Mercury cried louder. "Please don't do this! Remember…" she begged, tears forming.
He turned to her, the blue glow beginning to fade. "Why should I?" he asked, staring at her as she slowly stood up.
"Please stop this. We can live in peace if you remember, or at least try…" Mercury fell to her knees, out of energy.
Zoisite felt the blue glow disappear & stare at the girl on her knees. 'I can destroy both of them now. She's weak and that annoying princess is unconscious…' But he hesitated. 'Why can't I do it?' he thought to himself.
An energy ball flew forward at the girls before anyone could do anything. Zoisite stood in shock as Mercury took the brunt of the power, holding Serenity to her chest.
The two flew backwards, Mercury weakly clutching Serenity. "We'll be fine, Princess. Just don't worry…" she weakly whispered to the girl, not noticing another one fly at her.
But just as it was about it hit her, another energy blast knocked it off its course! Weakly looking up, Mercury was shocked to see Zoisite breathing hard, hands still in the air.
"Zoisite! What's wrong with you?" Kunzite shouted, appearing.
Zoisite said nothing, but walked over to Mercury and the Princess. Mercury stared up at him, questions in her eyes, but he kept eye contact with Kunzite.
"Did you not hear me? What is wrong with you?" Kunzite growled, walking over, arms crossed.
Zoisite glared at him, not breaking the eye contact. "Why are you here? I can do it myself."
"No you can't. You hesitated, so I stepped in. I'll take care of this." Kunzite created another energy blast, but this time a voice stopped him.
"Please stop this, you both…" Mercury stood up, trembling. She switched between Zoisite and Kunzite, breathing hard. "Please no more violence. Can't we just live in peace?" she asked, walking over to Kunzite.
"Stupid girl! Don't you understand? The people of Earth are pathetic and not deserving!" Kunzite growled, creating a sword and bringing it down on her.
Shielding herself, Mercury grabbed onto the sword and held it up from her head, hands clutching the blade as they bled. "Please don't do this. Remember the Moon Kingdom? Remember protecting Prince Endymion? Please remember…"
"That might have worked on Zoisite, but not me. Die now!" He pushed harder, smirking as he watched Mercury's knees buckle, hands bleeding faster.
Just as she was about to give up, an energy blast hit Kunzite in the side! Flying backwards, he watched in anger as Zoisite helped the girl up. "What…do you…think you're…doing…?" he growled.
Mercury leaning on him, Zoisite shoot his glance over to the man. "I'm doing what I think is right. I'm tired of losing. I'd like to be on the winning side for once." He looked down at the girl weakly smiling at him and smirked back. "Plus, she's kind of cute." He couldn't help but laugh as she blushed.
Kunzite growled. "Fine, Zoisite, but you'll be sorry!" Creating a black light around Mamoru, both of them disappeared, leaving an unconscious Princess, three hurt and confused girls and two past lovers.
Zoisite watched him go, then turned to Mercury. "Um, what did I just do?"
"Something wonderful." she smiled up at him, pushing off of him.
"No way. You're still weak, plus your hands are bleeding. Lets wrap those up." Tearing off a piece of his uniform, he wrapped both hands. "Not much, but it'll do."
Mercury teared up and threw her arms around Zoisite. Shocked, Zoisite sort of awkwardly hugged back.
"Endymion…" a weak voice called out, breaking the moment.
Pushing off, Mercury hobbled over to the now awake Princess. "Are you okay?" she asked.
"Mercury, what happened…?" She looked up and gasped. "And why is he here?" she cried, backing up.
"Don't worry, he's on our side." Mercury looked up, as if asking him.
After he nodded, Mercury let out a yelp and jumped onto him. Barely stopping from falling over, he held her as she cried.
The others watched a little confused, but said nothing as the two past lovers hugged, Mercury crying.
