New and Familiar Reinforcement

Part Two

At the Ayaka Hospital, they gang arrived there and met with a nurse that was familiar to Ami and vasa versa. After they showed her the patient I.D. and the drawing that Usagi made, she lead them to the record room on the computer. "Oh, I recognized him from the John Doe list" she said then showed the list of John Does that were admitted on that date that the Senshi were battling Beryl. They spotted a photographic image of Raion asleep with no name, no date of birth, no cause of injury and no family to contact "This patient here" Ami pointed out to the nurse they were talking to. "Oh we had so much trouble trying to find family members or friends that know him. We submitted his picture in the newspaper and on the news but we had no luck in finding a kin, no one came for him" the nurse explained. During the whole explanation of Ami's friend, Usagi only imaged all the details of what Raion was in that hospital as the nurse described it "We found him at the Crown arcade center. He was alive and there were no internal injuries, or a heart attack when he was brought in all he kept mumbling was 'crystal', 'Serenity' and 'rabbit of the moon". That last statement made Usagi turned in shock "He was in coma for the past three years and during that time, he would express emotions in his sleep. Like laughing, grunting pain, smiling he one time even cry" she explained. "One day, we were preparing him for some routine test but his bed was empty, a staff reported some missing clothes and food from our cafeteria" she continue to explain "And we hadn't heard from him since then and that was four years ago to this day" she finally finished.

Everyone thanked her for her help then retreated to the cafeteria to discuss what they had learned "He was a patient here, a comatose patient" Makoto said with her chin leaning on her hands. "He was found the day we were in battle with Beryl then he escaped on the year that Chibi-usa was sent back to the future" Rei added to her calculation of the years that he was in the hospital. Rei then remembered the star locket that he had in his possession "I still can't figure out how he got the start locket" she implied. Usagi even wondered about that as well "Rei, he said it was a family heirloom and a reminder of his wife?" Usagi asked while leaning on the table with Mamoru's hand stroking her back. "Yeah" Rei answered with her head turned downward to recall the night she and Yuuichirou stumbled upon Raion "I think he was also about to say daughter too" Rei added. Then Usagi remembered her first day in Takashi's class when he showed pictures of the remains of the moonkingdom "There is still one other matter that we need to figure out" she mentioned with a serious tone in her voice. "Pro. Takashi" she mentioned, everyone turned their attention to her with concern "What does that dick have anything to do with all this?" Makoto asked with the sense of not wanting to recall the man that showed nothing but harsh remarks towards them. "I think he might be somehow involved with what's been happing here" Usagi answered "What makes you think that" Mamoru asked with an arm around her shoulder "Because on my first day at his class, he showed some projector images of the remains of the Moonkingdom" she answered while looking at him. Everyone was stunned at the thought that this cruel and cold-hearted man seems to know about Moonkingdom "How can anyone possible know about the Moonkingdom?" Lupus asked curiously from his seat next to Minako.

"I don't know, Lupus. But he had the pictures to prove that there was once a civilization that once occupied the Moon" Usagi explained as she recalled Takashi's lecture in class about the images. Then she remembered the picture of the marble coffin that was in Usagi's dream "And then there was a picture of a marble coffin that was on the moon" she added "Coffin?" Mamoru repeated with a scared concern look in his eyes. "Yes, and it had a tomb stone that had these strange writing on it. I couldn't make out all that was said on it except: 'Lord of the Moon', 'Trusted friend, beloved husband-" Usagi said then hesitated for a moment before she finish the last detail of her dream "And I think it also said: Beloved father" she then said with her head bowed down. "I don't recall any of these memories" Luna said from her hiding place in Usagi's back bag "Me neither" Artemis added to Luna's despair. "Father might know" Luna said with a voice of hope as she thought about where he was at.

During that conversation Yukio was standing outside of the cafeteria with a cell phone in his hand "I see her" he said on the phone, on the other line was Takashi calling from the mansion. "She's not alone, is she?" he asked from his single seat in the center of a huge livingroom "No, everyone is there, not to mention two members of the outer Senshi were on their way here to get to her" Yukio explained while looking at Usagi. "Really?" Takashi asked with a sinister voice "Relax, I said 'they were' right?" the young man answered with a smile of satisfaction on his face "Good, then it won't be hard for you to get Usagi here?" he asked as he poured some wine into a tall glass. "Not quiet. They are there with her" he answered as he looked at each of the girls and the young boy next to Minako then finally Mamoru "The Earth prince is here too" he said with a sense of resentment in his voice. "Now, now Yukio, remember what I told you. There will be plenty of time for you to get rid of him in time" Takashi said then took a sip of his wine. "Still, I do have a plan for you" he added while placing his glass on the table next to him "Inside the ting pocket of your bag, I placed something that should help you in your task" Takashi directed as he lean on his knees. Yukio looked into the pocket that his father instructed and found a small a coin that was bigger then a quarter "A Greek coin?" he asked curiously while holding it before his face "Look on the back!" Takashi instructed him. Yukio did what he said and he recognized the image on the back of it "The legendary Kraken" he clarified to himself "Drop it into the sea, I think it is time to start a little commotion for the Senshi" Takashi said then chuckled softly on the phone then hung up.

Yukio was left standing in the same place for a moment looking at his cell phone then at the coin with curiosity, meanwhile back at the mansion Takashi placed down the phone and stood up from his chair. He walked up to the huge fire places with a giant portrait of Serenity hung above the fire place "To us" he said with his glass refilled and held toward the portrait. Yukio then thought of the plan that he was going to do to the Senshi and how to get Usagi while flipping the coin in between all his fingers. "Yukio?" Usagi said standing right next to him "Huh?" he said then looked to see her, he was surprised to see her "Oh, hey it's my latest D.I.D." he said with a joyful smile on his face as he quickly slipped the coin into his back pocket without her noticing it. Usagi laughed at his charms after recalling how the met "D.I.D.?" she asked with a clueless look on her face, Yukio found it cute "Boy, it be nice if you got one of these things right, 'Damsel in distress" he clarified to her. "What are you doing here?" she asked after calming herself, Yukio is very good at coming up with quick lies "Well...what do you think?" he said as he took a step closer to her with a flirtatious grin on his face. "Looking for you" he answered with his hands flying onto her shoulders, Usagi didn't like the sound of his voice when he said that and she didn't like the way he said it.

"Uh, Yukio? You know that I have a boyfriend, right?" she said nervously as she stepped away from him. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. But at least allow me to flirt with you" he said with that same face and grin, Usagi gasped in shock and blushed right before him. "Just kidding" he said to calm her as he took a step away "Usa-ko!" Mamoru called out as he came out of the cafeteria "I'm here" she responded. As Yukio stood silently and watched the couple embraced before him, he was suddenly recalling another moment when he was watching the lovers embrace back on the Moonkingdom. The only difference about then is that they didn't see him spying on them "Strange, how come I still feel like they don't notice that I am here?" he thought to himself. "Yukio?" Usagi said softly with a hand placed on his shoulder, it brought back him from his moment of thought "Uh yeah, sorry about that" he said as he roughly pushed his hair back with his hand. "This Mamoru Chiba, my boyfriend. Mamo-chan, this is Yukio Sumura from Takashi's class" Usagi introduced the two young men for the second time "I'm the handsome knight in shining armor who defended her against 'Old Takashi' rudeness" he said with a hand extended to Mamoru. "Oh thanks a lot for that and nice to meet you" Mamoru replied as he took his hand "It was nothing besides I couldn't resist" he replied with that same flirtatious grin and look to Usagi. "Uh, do you want to join us?" Usagi offered nervously while pointing at the table that she and Mamoru were at in an attempt to avoid any unpleasant tension "Sure, I got nothing to do" Yukio said with a lot of teasing jesters. "Is that okay?" Usagi asked while looking up at the love of her life "Sure, if he doesn't mind" he said politely while glancing at Yukio. The couple walked back into the cafeteria with Yukio following them, he then looked to the window along side of them and notice that the hospital was over looking the ocean. Best of all, he saw someone opened it very wide "Bingo!" he whispered excitingly to himself, he quickly checked to make sure no one was watching then pulled out the coin and tossed it out the window. "Everything all right?" Usagi asked over her shoulder with her arms still wrapped around Mamoru's arm "Yeah! Everything is perfect" he exclaimed as he walked passed her and looked at the other girls with the one boy next to Minako. "Please tell me that all of you are available?" he asked now giving all the girls the same flirtatious grin.

Everyone was interrupted by the huge earthquake that immediately erupted, everyone that was in or out of the cafeteria were screaming in fear as well as the Senshi. The three young men grabbed which every girl they could reach and pulled them under the table "What the Hell is going on!" Makoto shouted to her friends but before anyone could answer, they were interrupted by the 'Evacuation Alarm'. Then everyone that was near the window of the cafeteria ran away while shouting "A monster is coming out of the ocean!" then a man crawled fast past the table where Usagi and the gang were hiding in shouted "Its, its Godzilla!". The Usagi turned to Mamoru with the questionable expression that said "How are we going to transform with Yukio here?", he looked at Yukio then thought of a plan. The earthquake suddenly stopped and Usagi seized the opportunity to see what was coming out of the sea "Let's get out of here, Usa-ko!" Mamoru shouted to the gang then notice his girlfriend running to the window. Usagi looked to see a giant octopus's eyes and giant tentacles bursting out of the water and swimming toward the building.

"Usa-ko!" Mamoru called out as he rushed to her side then was startled by what she was staring at "What the-" he was about to say but Yukio interrupted "Dude, ask it what it is while we are running for our lives" he shouted while urging the other girls to run. "We got to keep that thing away from the building" Usagi said after thinking about the other patients, Mamoru knew she was right then quickly came up with a plan "Right! I'll get Yukio outside the hospital and lose him with the rest of the crowd. Head to the roof and I'll try and catch up to you" he whispered to Usagi as he pulled her toward Yukio. "Right" Usagi replied as they ran behind Yukio, Usagi awaited for Mamoru to give her the signal to escape with the girls "It's uh kinda crowded here, don't you think?" Yukio asked jokingly while smiling at the girls and the two boys. The girls wonder 'what kind of a guy makes jokes in a situation like this?' but as they struggled through the crowds of people, Mamoru purposely released Usagi from his grasp then rushed to Lupus and whispered the plan in his ear "I got you" he whispered then they both rushed Yukio. "GO!" he mouthed to her then Usagi turned to the girls and signaled them to follow her which they did, the slipped by the running crowds that were heading out of every available door that they could find. "To the roof!" Usagi shouted to them as the burst opened the door and started running up the stairs "What about Mamoru and Lupus?" Minako asked in concern "They will look after Yukio" Usagi answered.

Meanwhile back at Takashi's mansion was standing on the very top of the roof with another coin with the same image of the Kraken on the front in his hand. He squeezed the coin in his hand that became a fist "Great Kraken! Bring me the Moon Princess and kill her soldiers" he said to his tight fist with the coin in it. Then he opened it to reveal an image of the Kraken roar through the water as he swam closer to the hospital "Huh?" he said as he looked closely at the tiny figures that were on the roof of the building. "Well, well, the warriors are prepared to battle it. This will be very interesting" he said then chuckled.

Back at the hospital, outside of the building where Mamoru, Yukio, and Lupus stood in front of the building looking up while the flood of people ran passed them. Lupus suddenly sensed something within him, he turned to Mamoru with a look of terrifying concern. Mamoru read his expression then once again came up with a distraction to Yukio so that Lupus would escape in the flood of people. "What do you think this is!" Mamoru asked Yukio to gain his attention "I don't know man, but I better get my camera!" he answered, Mamoru didn't stop him when he ran off. Lupus ran to the side of the hospital and climbed up the wall, he gained the attention of an old woman that was trying to escape out of her hospital room but she stopped to see Lupus "Oh it's spider-man!" she shouted and pointed at Lupus. He just smiled at her "Yeah! Take cover, okay?" he said sweetly to her "Right" she replied then crawled under her bed. He made up just far enough to see the was now crawling on it's tentacles in the water, he closed his eyes and focused his mind at the monster's thoughts. An image of Usagi appeared in it's head "It was sent for Usagi!" exclaimed in his mind then carried on his climbing to the top. There he met up with the girls who were all already transforming but instead of using their original power sticks and their incantation, they used they pulled out their rings and slipped them on. One by one they held their rings in the air and shouted their new incantations.

"Mercury Knight Power! Make Up!"

"Mars Knight Power! Make Up!"

"Jupiter Knight Power! Make Up!"

"Venus Knight Power! Make Up!"

Finally Usagi pulled out her Crystal locket and transformed with the girls, she was once again Eternal Sailor Moon. "I wonder when will Raion get you knighted with us" Rei asked while the stood before the approaching monster that was getting closer to the building. The Kraken was now close enough to strike the building down with one blow, they Knights all stood and awaited for it to make it's first move. The Kraken looked down at all of them then pin pointed at Usagi who was in the center of them, it lifted up one of it tentacle and reached out to her "It's coming to Usagi!" Makoto shouted as she saw the monster reaching for her. They all drew out their sword the same way they did in the museum, Makoto charged at the monster's reaching tentacles and sliced the tip of it off. It threw back and roared in pain then grew increasingly anger. It raised up it's wounded tentacle and threw it straight toward them, they screamed in fear for the building and the people in it. Suddenly a bright red light shined to the Kraken, the Knights , and the patients that were abandoned in their hospital rooms "Sailor Moon, Everyone!" said Lupus in the form of and echo that surrounded them. Soon they looked up to see a giant shield that covered the entire Hospital against the Kraken who was stunned by the light "Lupus?" Minako called out softly "Here" he said again then suddenly an enormous image of his face appeared on the shield like a Jumbo TV screen in a concert.

He looked at them all with a face that was grunting, like he was leaning against a door to hold it closed from an intruder. "Get Sailor Moon off of this building" he said in between grunts "This thing was sent to get Sailor Moon, get her away from here" he said as he turned to see the Kraken regaining his strength to strike at the building again. The girls realized that Lupus was using his best defense of shield to protect the patients in the hospital building, just as they were about to run off they turned back to see the Kraken raise up another of it's tentacles and showed the sucker cups "Hurry, get her out of here!" he shouted urgently, just at that moment, Lupus was surprised by the Kraken's strike. It felt like a 18 huge knives just scratched his back "Lupus!" Minako shouted with grief at the sight of her love screaming in pain. "Let's go, NOW!" Sailor Mars shouted as she started running toward the stairway door "No, Lupus!" Sailor Venus shouted as she was trying to run to him but Sailor Jupiter grabbed her arms and pulled her back. "Sailor Venus, we have to get Usagi away from here to draw the monster away." she said loudly while dragging her but Sailor Venus could find the will to leave Lupus "Lupus!" she shouted again "Sailor Venus, run, protect your Princess as I am now. Run now, HURRY!" he said then again the Kraken struck him on the back. This time Lupus felt his body go numb with that second stroke, he felt his force field breaking down as he was losing his will to hold up "This is really hard to hold up" he said looking at Sailor Venus with a positive smile. With that smile, Sailor Venus finally found the will to run with the others.

When Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars opened the door to stairway, they gasped at the sight of two very familiar faces "N-No way!" Sailor Mars gasping to their sights while Usagi almost fainted. The two Knights took a few steps back to reveal to Jupiter and Mercury what was holding them back, two men walked out of the stairway door. One was older like in his mid 20's with long white hair and the other was shorter and younger with longer light blond-brown hair that was curly and he appeared to be about the same age as the Knights. They knew right away that it was Zoisite and Kunzite dressed in casual ordinary human clothes but couldn't figure out what they were doing there.

"Greetings Princess Serenity" Kunzite said with a hand placed over his chest "Knights of the Silver Millennium" he said then looking at the other Knights. "Your rings have new powerful forces in them that you can use to escape this roof" Zoisite said pointing at the Senshi's rings, they couldn't shake off their stunned hesitation of seeing their first enemies standing right before them. "Hey! Dying of strokes here!" Lupus shouted in pain and weakness, the shield was also almost breaking like a chattered window "Quickly, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter!" Kunzite urgently called. "Look at the crest of your swords" he said to them, the three Knights were still confuse but they. Jupiter's crest showed a winged dragon curled in a circle that surrounded her planetary symbol, Mars had a Phoenix flying from behind her symbol and Mercury's had a white owl perched on the circled area of hers. The three of them suddenly developed a sense of knowledge of their rings, Sailor Jupiter raised her hand with the ring in the air and shouted "Jupiter Thunder Hail Dragon!". Suddenly her sword morphed into a knight's shield with the same crest that was on her ring on the cover, the dragon on it uncurled itself and flew out of the shield. It grew to the sizes of a Clydesdale horse, Sailor Mercury did the same and shouted "Mercury Blizzard Owl!" then out of her shield came a white owl came flying out. It was about the same sizes as the dragon but taller and was equipped with clawed feet, finally Mars shouted "Mars Inferno Phoenix!" and her fire burning bird flew out and stood beside the other giant beasts. They all stared curiously at their summoners then recognized their symbols on their rings and suddenly bowed their heads to them.

After all the fantastic show was nearly over, Lupus finally gave out his last bit of will to holding up that shield and passed out. He appeared slowly falling on the ground of the roof "Oh no! Lupus!" Minako shouted as she ran to his side and cradled him in her arms "Lets get off this roof NOW!" Kunzite commanded as he rushed to pick up Lupus and carried him to the rest of the gang. Sailor Jupiter, Zoisite and Sailor Moon mounted the dragon, Mercury and Venus were already carried off by the white owl's feet that carefully carried them without scratching them and the Phoenix carried Mars, Kunzite and Lupus who was still held by Kunzite. They all flew off the building at last, the Kraken turned his direction away from the hospital and followed the flying beasts. On the firm grounds of the hospital where Mamoru stood by and watched as made their way down the beach, miles and miles away from the hospital "Well, I'll ask about the creatures later but first: I gotta follow them" he said to himself then turned to try and find an available transport. And just when he thought that he wasn't going to get lucky, he was snatched into a fast moving vehicles.

"What the Hell!" he shouted as he struggled against the pair of strong muscular hands that were trying to restrain him "Calm yourself, Prince Endymion" said a very familiar male voice. The mythical creatures landed carefully on the beach shores, the knights dismounted themselves from them with gratitude, they turned their attention to the Kraken who was coming right towards them again. "I speak for the Knights with flying beast when I say: Get him!" Rei said sarcastically while pointing at the up coming Kraken, the owl, the dragon, and the Phoenix flew up to the face of the Kraken at the same time their sizes doubled then before. The two single birds began to scratched and crawled every inch of it's face while the dragon breathed fire on the face, they fought him hard until it fell onto his side which out in the opened sea. "Now Sailor Moon!" Jupiter shouted as the three flying beast flew back to shore, the Moon princess stepped up to the challenge. She used her 'Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss' on the Kraken but to their dismay, it didn't vanquished it, everyone gasped in shock except Kunzite and Zoisite who seem to be expecting something or someone to come.

The Kraken was now officially pissed off, he was ready to just kill everyone in sight but first it reached out once again to Sailor Moon. While it was still in the water, it stretched out it's one tentacles and grabbed a hold of Sailor Moon's leg "Let her go, damn you!" Sailor Mars said as the Knights drew out their swords. But as they were about to take a few blows at it, they were smacked away by four of it's tentacles and Sailor Moon was brought up into the air where she could only see her friends from an upside down view. "I really didn't like watching this scene on Lord of the Rings" she shouted as the Kraken brought her over his head, Sailor Moon thought for an instant that she was going to be gobbled by it. "Usagi!" the Knights all screamed to her, Mamoru arrived in time to see his love in that horrible situation "Usa-ko! NO!" he shouted in pain and fell on his knees. But in the mist of all their screams and frantic cries, no one noticed that a fast moving figure burst out of the vehicle that Mamoru was in and flew straight toward Usagi. Usagi had her eyes shut during this whole scene, until she felt the same warm embrace accompanied by an arm around her waist. She opened her eyes to find herself in the arm of Raion dressed in white plated pants with a white button up shirt, along with his own golden crescent Moon symbol on his forehead like Usagi's and a knight's sword in his free hand. They were floating on a bright circled disk like cloud, Raion released her from his grip then stood in fighting style "Those who are a threat to my daughter is unforgivable" he said threateningly to the Kraken with his sword blade held before him. Their transportation to a speedy turn and flew straight at the Kraken as Raion held his sword's blade over his head and shouted "Moon Twilight Lion, strike and attack!" then struck the Kraken across his face. The monster made one loud roar then a bright light shined out from the scar that Raion struck on and it fell backwards as it slowly disappeared into the setting sun.

A silent wind blew passed over the Knights, the two generals that were holding up a knocked out Lupus between them, were united with Nephrite and Jadeite who were accompanied by Setsuna and Hotaru. Haruka was finally awakened from her consciousness estate, she was being helped up by her love-partner once again. Everyone stood on the beach and watched as the King of the Moon and the princess of the Moon were descending back down to them while staring long at each other. Usagi's eyes were wide, her mouth was covered by her hands that were twined into a prayer and her entire body was paralyzed. Raion only stood with the exact feeling of his body but his hands were down on his sides as he sword disappeared from his hand, neither of them could say a word to each other. Instead they both just started recalling every image of each other, Usagi recalled only the dreams where she couldn't make out his face but now that she was seeing him up close, she was now placing his face in all of the dreams that she had of him. Raion was just recalling all the moments he spent with her when she was so much smaller then she was right in front of him, he was flabbergasted at the reality that she was no longer the small child that he could lift up in the air but a grown woman with his wife's image. Raion finally lifted both his hands up and began to trace the dumpling styles of her hair and the traces of her face "Same hair style, same shape of the face, same smile and those eyes...those blue eyes" he said with his eyes now building up with tears. Usagi's eyes were beginning to fill up with tears of her own each time Raion says something to her "I was right" he said in a trembling voice "Right?" Usagi asked in her own trembling voice. "I prayed to the Gods that your mother's beauty be immortalized and my wish was granted" he explained as he kept his hands on her cheek.

Usagi remained quiet as he tried so hard not to lose control and break down in her arms "It's strange, I see a full grown woman before me but I still see that little girl crying out to me" he said tearfully. Suddenly they both said at the same time "Otosan", "I thought I wasn't going to ever see you, again" Usagi said breathlessly with her hands on his face. Raion lost all his controls and pulled her into a warm embrace "I told you once before" he said, Usagi sensed what he was going to say. Because she remembered the second dream that she had with him, where they were in a wooded area and she thought that she was all alone but he surprised her from behind "I will never be away from you-" he said with his grand hand over the back of her head. In a fast second that he was about to finish his statement, they said the exact same thing "Ever...my little rabbit of the Moon". They both sobbed as they held each other very tightly, they finally landed their feet in the shallow waters with the entire gang both the Knights and the Generals standing on the sandy grounds watching the father and daughter having a tearful reunion. Between Kunzite and Zoisite was Lupus still unconscious, he quickly flipped up and looking around himself "Hey, what'd I miss!" Lupus asked excitedly but weak at the same time. "The King and Princess, are reunited" Zoisite answered calmly while being the only member of the General crying at the touchy moment like the Knights were. "Well...uh...okay, but uh who are you?" Lupus asked in a groggy manner while looking at Zoisite and Kunzite then passed out again. Raion and Usagi stood in the shallow waters in each others arm, sobbing away as the sun was setting right behind them.

I apologizes for this chapter being so long and you will get all your answers in the next chapter.
