Elysion awoke with a start, breathing heavily. She sat up, looking around to make sure she knew where she was. 'I'm at the palace.' She thought getting up, 'Everything's ok. Mama's ok…Daddy's ok….no one's hurt…' She sighed a relaxed a little. She was still slightly upset about what had happened in her dreams. 'I don't want to sleep any more.' She stood up, careful not to wake up Terran; she snuck out of her room and went down stairs to get something to eat.

As she was walking by she saw a light behind one of the closed doors. 'That's the library.' She thought, 'What's going on in there?' With her curiosity aroused, she lightly leaned against the door and listened.

"Yes," She recognized it as Michiru's voice, "There is something odd about her."

It took her a few moments to figure out that they were talking about her. Elysion backed away from the door, her heart pounding rapidly. 'They're catching on!' She started to run back to her room, but tripped over the rug knocking the air out of her.

Inside the library

"What was that?" Minako and the others got up to investigate the sound.

"Sounds like something falling." Rei speculated.

outside

Elysion sat up and breathed for a little while before getting up.

"Elysion." She froze and slowly turned around like she was in a horror movie. She looks

up at the people behind her, smiled at them and waved at them. "Uh…hi."

Another place

She awoke in a strange place wearing different clothes than she had on before. She looked around her room, finding the only bare necessities in the small cell.

'Where am I?' She wondered standing up and looking down at the outfit she was wearing. 'What am I wearing?'

It was a simple sleeveless lavender gown that fell all the way to her bare feet. Her other clothes were nowhere to have been seen.

The door opened up to reveal a tall figure dressed in a cream colored suit. He smiled at her. "Welcome, Kritra, welcome to my home…"

Her eyes widen in shock as she stared at him, "J-Jamil?!"

He smirked "Yes, dear sister of mine, it is I."

Palace

"Elysion, what are you doing out of bed?" Minako asked as she helped the girl up.

Ami nods, frowning, "Yes, you should still be lying down. You went through a terrible ordeal…"

"I'm ok…"She looks at them," I just needed a little sleep…that's all…"

Endymion watched her closely. ' Why is she fidgeting…? Did she hear us?'

"Elysion?" She looked at him, "When you passed by…what did you hear…?"

She looks down as if to study the floor and did not reply. A hand touched her shoulder and she glanced at the owner of the hand.

"You're not in trouble or anything, we just wanted to figure out why they are targeting you…that's all." Setsuna said.

She looks back down; hiding behind the curtain of braids and mutters something inaudible.

Hotaru blinks" What did you say?" She leaned closer to hear better, "I don't think I heard you."

"Yeah," Rei adds, " Speak a little louder."

Elysion clears her throat and stated, "It's because I can't transform…"She shrugs a little "My powers a sort of weak against them…I think..."

Serenity's brows furrow as she watched the girl intently, "What do you mean, 'transform'?"

"Are you…a sailor senshi?" Makoto asked.

Luna and Artemis walk up to them. "That's impossible." Luna states, "You can only be a senshi if you are your planet's guardian and Usa is the moon's and earth's guardian as are the others their planets' guardians… you can only inherit the powers…"

"Unless" Artemis muses, "you are someone else's guardian…"

Elysion bit her lip, "I can't transform by will…only when I'm needed…"

Something clicked in Endymion's mind as he stared at her. "You're...Neo Terra Warrior aren't you?" He had schooled his face into a blank and passive expression.

"Is that true, Elysion?" Haruka asked her, "Are you Neo Terra Warrior?"

She licked her lips and raised her gaze, staring at them. "Yes, I am."

They were thoroughly confused, how could she be the guardian of Earth, when Usa is the guardian?

"How do you transform?" Minako asked, breaking the silence. "Does it happen or do you say a phase?"

Elysion pulls out a ring and placed it on her finger, than said "Terra Power Make up."

And instantly transforms into Neo Chikyuu Senshi, she pulled her hood down and took off her mask. "See?"

"Why didn't you stay to help us?" Makoto asked.

She shrugs, "You didn't need me." And let her transformation fade then looks slightly shocked. "I transformed by will…?" She blinks several times and then decides to analyze it later.

Endymion sighs, "Ok, now you have to go to bed." He smirks "Come on..."

She followed him, after biding everyone a good night.

At her door, she looks up at him, "There's something else I have to tell you…" She rubbed the back of her neck nervously.

"Elysion!" Terran jumps up and pads up to her. "You know what your mother said!" He looked disapprovingly at her. "Let them figure it out…"

She sighs and nods, "Sorry, you'll have to find it out." And starts closing her door,

"Goodnight…" When the door closed she sighed, "Otousan…"

Next day

Elysion made her way down the stairs the next morning; she was tired and weary and seemed unable to focus on anything almost drifting off from time to time.

Endymion was becoming increasingly worried about her, more so than need be.

"Elysion?" She looked up at the sound of her name. "Are you sleeping well?"

She shifted in her seat and picked at her food, not answering him.

"It's the nightmares isn't it?"

She nods. "Yeah…it…it's getting more and more real each time…I sleep…" She closed her eyes and sighed. "I'm just…. very tired…right now…" She pushed her food away and folded her arms then laid her head down and went to sleep.

They all looked at each other then back at the sleeping girl. It was then that Endymion finally stood up, went over to her and picked her up, bridal style. "I think she shouldn't go to school today."

Ami nods in agreement, "Yes, she would most likely sleep through most of it and wouldn't learn anything."

Rei stood and walked over towards them, "I will search the fire for answers on this." She looks at Elysion, "Something isn't right, here." She touched Elysion's forehead, trying to get a feel for what was going on with her, but got nothing. "It's like there's a very strong shield or something." She switched her gaze towards the others, "almost as if there is a certain person that could knock the wall down."

Endymion shrugs a little, "Well, in either case, I better put sleeping beauty to rest, ok?" He then walked out and towards Elysion's room.

He laid her in bed, covering her up as she turned on her side and sighs, "Otousan…"

Endymion paused before smiling at her then turned around, going into the hallway closing the door behind him.

He leaned against it, "What are you doing to me?" He mutters to himself not aware that his wife was watching him, "Who is your father, Elysion? What does this all have to do with me?" He sighs and walks away.

Serenity walked towards Elysion's door and stopped. 'Yes, what are you doing to my Mamo-chan, Elysion?' she wonders and was about to leave when she heard voices come floating through the door.

Inside of the room.

"Elysion…" Terran jumps up on the bed waking her up. "What is wrong with you?"

Elysion yawns, "I don't know Terran." She stared into his spring green eyes, "I still dream about it. Somebody hurting mama and daddy." She closed her eyes, "I want to help them, protect them…but I couldn't. The man took daddy's crystal and he died…." She curls up and started to cry, "I don't want daddy to die, Ter." She opens her eyes a little with plea written all over her face, "Why can't I tell him? He's in danger and because of mama's promise, we can't tell him…It's so unfair…Terran, it really is…"

He nuzzled her face a little, "It'll be ok, Ellie, I know it will. Everything will be alright."

"I hope you're right, Terran…I really hope you are…."

Else where

Serenity quickly made her way down towards the lounge where some of the senshi were hanging out. Some of them looked up at her, while a few, like Ami and Hotaru playing chess, acknowledge her by a slight bow of their heads.

"You won't believe what I just heard." She sat down on the couch next to Minako, who was reading a magazine, "Elysion was talking to Terran about-"

"Meat ball head," Rei looks up from her book at the girl, "Are you always eavesdropping?"

"Shut up Rei, this is important." Serenity snaps, "They were talking about her father. He's also a target for those shadow demons!" she looks at them, "But it seems that they can't tell him."

Makoto walks in with a tray of cookies, "Who do you think is her father, though?" She sat down in a chair placing the tray on the table. "After all, the only one that might know for certain is, Kritra…." She looks at them.

"Check." Hotaru said, "All we have to do is go ask Kritra." She looked up. "It shouldn't be that hard."

Ami nods in agreement, "Check." The looks at Serenity, "One of us has to go there. Just so Elysion won't suspect that something is up."

"Checkmate, I win." Hotaru said taking Ami's queen and sat her queen in front of Ami's king.

Serenity looks down and sighs, "I'll go."

That got their attention, "What?" They all looked up at her, "You can't go alone, Usagi, you know that." Minako told her. "What happens if there was trouble?"

Serenity gazed at them, "It would be simple, after all, all I have to do is teleport there." She explained, "And Kritra's island is an isolated place. I doubt anyone who had once found it could find it again if they leave with out her to reveal it…"

In the end Serenity got her way and teleported to the island.

Island

On the island, she quickly made her way towards the small house on the cliff, where Endymion and the others had been, looking around at the greenery and sighing a little.

"This place is beautiful." She said to herself spotting the cottage, "We have to take a vacation here…no one will ever find us on this island."

She walks up to the door and knocked on it then waited for it to be answered. Several minutes went by and nothing happened. Deciding to risk it, and Kritra's anger, she tries the knob to find that the house was open. Surprised and cautious by this, she opens the door and steps in.

"Kritra?" She calls into the quiet house, "Are you here?" She walks in hearing no answer and looks around the house. 'What a nice home.' She thought, 'it's so simple yet modern too.' Serenity noticed the pictures sitting on a small table and picked one up. It was of Endymion and Kritra making faces at the camera. She smiled softly and put it down to look at the others. Most where of Elysion at version ages with a tiny pup she assumed that was Terran, and a few of her family, but something caught her eye about the picture of Elysion as a newborn and the one of Endymion standing alone. She picks them up to take a closer look. What she saw shocked her very system making her freeze.

'It can't be…can it?'

An: hope you liked it. R&R
