Do to some interest I'll continue for a while longer. The other story 'Chikyuu no Senshi' will be an AU to this.

Quotes:

Heav'n has no rage, like love to hatred turn'd. / Nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorn'd. William Congreve, The Mourning Bride

In time we hate that which we often fear. --- William Shakespeare

Dinner came in went without real fanfare having only the remaining warriors, their princess and king at the table to eat. They tried, yet failed to make some light conversation while they ate. It only made them fall into silence each time. Finally, nearing the end of the meal, Usa stood and asked to be excused to visit the infirmary. Ami stood too, saying she would accompany the girl and so the warriors drifted apart to do other things that would take their minds off the day's events leaving the king and the advisors there to linger over the dinner table.

He really didn't know what to do at this point. His wife had good reasons- logical ones at that- to accuse Elysion of…but somehow, he knew better then to believe it. Elysion was a bit rash and maybe hardheaded but she couldn't be part of all that…could she?

"I should go speak with them." He says finally after the table was cleared. "Perhaps something could be done about this."

Luna and Artemis both looked up at him from their places at the table. "I believe you could get through to her Mamoru." Luna told him and licked her paw a bit. "Selene knows, she has listened to you over me in the past. I'm positive you can do it."

"Thanks Luna." He rose from his seat and idly pushed the chair in. "Oyasumi, Luna and Artemis."

"Oyasumi."

The woman bit her thumb as she paced slowly in front of her window. Everything she had thought she had left behind…everything she had helped build was now going up in flames before her eyes. Though, she felt bad about putting the girl on the spot like that.

Still….

The regal queen sat down and placed her face in her hands. What was happening to her? She sat up more and looked at her hands. These hands that had given hope to others. That sacrificed everything for the good of this world countless times. Yet, she was willing to strike someone that was in just as much confusion as she was.

"This is wrong." Serenity mutters to herself as she stood and went back to pacing. "What am I becoming?"

In a small flash, she remembered the evil women of the past and how they were. Queen Beryl, Queen Nehellenia, the Ice Queen, Sailor Galaxia, Death Phantom, Mistress Nine and finally Chaos.

Was this how they felt? Beryl's jealousy drove two kingdoms to destruction over him. Nehellenia was furious over the white moon clan's good fortune and in a way also tried to steal the crystal inside of him. The Ice Queen wished to turn this beautiful world into a desolate ice ball...and Galaxia… Galaxia wanted to stop the wars by stopping starseeds from being born.

The Death Phantom wanted to destroy it all and Mistress Nine with Pharaoh ninety wanted to take over this world.

Then finally…Chaos…Chaos the one would gave the universe these people who's sole purpose seems to be disrupting the balance.

And why was she thinking of this all now?

Shaking her head, the queen moved over to her window and looked out upon the city. The city they built and protected for over a millennium or so. She wondered about her enemies- her past and present enemies- and how much alike they were.

"I want to protect this place…" She mutters aloud to herself. " at any cost. Does that make me like them?"

Pressing her forehead against the glass, the pale woman closed her eyes thinking, "Has the things that I stood for…love and justice…have they finally betrayed me in the sense of duty?" For the first time in a long time, she felt like she was once again Tsukino Usagi who was just told that she would be the champion of justice Sailor moon. Only this time…her friends were dwindling from her side, her husband's love child and guardian couldn't stand her, and once more the woman that rescued him was part of the enemy that was taking her friends away.

She felt her eyes grow hot as tears slowly streamed down. What was she going to do? It wasn't fair! Why…why was she put on the spot like this? She was kind! She was loving and still…

Her fist slammed against the window, clenched tightly as if she wanted to break the glass.

"Why? Why does it continue like this?" She nearly wailed.

The silence of the spacious white and pale blue room and the quiet sobbing were the only answers to her questions.

After a while, that tiny voice in the back of her mind spoke up.

"You know why it continues. It's because of that girl and her family."

Serenity blinked slightly as she dried her eyes, " That's right…"

She remembered the scene, when she sent her attack how not only Kritra stood to save her family, but…

"He must still be bewitched by that woman." Her inner voice told her. "He moved to save them even though they are the enemy. They wished to destroy everything the senshi worked for and stood for."

She nodded to herself sighing softly before staring out the window at the city. This city, in which she was reincarnated into Usagi Tsukino to find her beloved Endymion again and try for a happier life, was the place they were born and raised in and protected with their lives.

She wanted to ruin it all. Standing there, the pale queen came to a decision. Turning, she moved towards the door. They had to meet now. Her plan was simple.

Find their base and destroy them all.

"That is the only way to deal with traitors and evil. Is to get them at home."

She loved it here. It was quiet for the most part and very beautiful. This place…it was alive with dreams, animals, and forests with crystals jutting out of the ground. Elysion had always felt more herself here. The lithe teen walked barefooted over the ground, each step causing a small ripple.

Beside her, the tall man dressed in gray with a white cloak, smiled watching her out of the corner of his eyes. She looked better now, he had thought, but still sad.

Terran ached to ease his charge's pain. If only it wasn't for that foolish alien queen! It was her fault that his Elly was in pain now.

Spring green eyes darkened slightly as his gaze roamed over the peaceful scenery. Elysian… if only the prince...no the king could understand how vital it was to keep the line of Gaia clear of such filth like the moon people.

"Princess!" The two voices that broke through his thoughts were none other then the Maenad Maidens appear smiling at her.

"We were worried about you, Princess Elysion." Lily said and sort of brushed her hair back.

"Sister." The other maiden, Matla, glances at her. "Something deeply troubles her."

Lily nods as they guided the young girl towards the palace. "Yes, princess, tell us your troubles and we shall do what we can to ease the pain."

Terran watched them escort the young woman away with small concern. He knew she would be taken care of. Turning he spotted Helios walking out of the temple having done his daily prayers for the day. Smiling slightly at his friend, Terran walked over to him and grins. "Done with your prayers, Helios?"

The pale haired boy looked up at him and returned the smile, "Yes. It seems to be a constant thing now. Come, have some tea with me, Ter, and tell me about what is happening above."

Nodding in agreement, the other priest followed his friend inside.

"We only need the Wisdom, Protector, and the Love Crystals to summon our lady." Jamil was staring at the machine with admiration. His gaze zoned in on the Sailor crystals that glowed dimly in their holders. "And then we shall extract our revenge on them all."

Kritra said nothing listening to her brother's rambles with a sinking heart. Whatever happened to the boy from her childhood? What happened to him? Sighing softly, she turns away and gazes at the earth. Everything was wrong about this. They were supposed to protect the planet, not destroy it. Their purpose was suppose to protect their king…

Mamoru…

The thought of the tall elegant man made her heartache so sharply that she had to gasp softly. Why? Why did it have to be him? For a moment, she wished she had taken Elysion from that place just so the girl could be safe from her pain. She knew…she knew her only child was hurting and she could do nothing about it.

Still…the sight that had gripped her with fear, yet also with pride was when Neo Terra had stood before Cosmos and told her she wouldn't move.

Her eyes darkened slightly as she remembered the scene. Cosmos was powering up, the energy that she had gathered was destructive. Kritra couldn't stand by and watch her daughter die.

She may have made a very dangerous enemy.

"Lady Avon."

Kritra turned just in time to see the woman appear. She never cared for the green haired woman at all and knew she had ulterior motives. The warrior worried about her brother in this; Lady Avon was not to be trusted with anything.

"You called my lord?" The pale woman bowed with a neutral smile on her beautiful face.

Jamil glances over at her and nods, "Yes…yes I did, didn't I?" He seemed to fall back into thought for a moment before looking at the woman again, "I want those remaining crystals, Avon. See to it that I get them."

"As you will it." She said hiding her obvious discontent with that order. Why doesn't he make his precious sister go?

Almost as if reading her thoughts he spoke again not watching either of the women, "And take Kritra with you. She is very skilled at going to places where she is not wanted, right Krit?" He smiled at his sister.

The smile made her want to sigh softly knowing she would not let him down. It was a smile he had back when they were younger before he left the island. Oh Jamil, she thought as she walked towards the woman, what has happened to you?

"But...I can handle it!" Avon sputters; this was not what she wanted! "I don't need a babysitter!"

Jamil turns slowly and looks at the woman, " Are you questioning me, Lily?"

The woman flinched slightly at the tone. "No, Lord Jamil."

"Good, now go while they least expect us."

The two women phased away leaving the madman alone with his machine.

"And that is what happened." The dark man told him. " That…that bitch tried to kill them off!" H downed the tea that was now laced with something a bit stronger. " I would've ripped her throat out I swear to Gaia, I would've. Kritra, though, she blocked it. She blocked it like it was nothing."

Helios sat quietly watching his friend before looking down at the clear liquid in his cup. Elysium tea used to be famous tea in the sol system for it's flavor and it's dream properties. It was used to lull children or troubled minds to sleep or calming one in the afternoon. Right now, it did seem to work on Terran a bit or at least managed to calm him down.

Sipping the tea, Helios was very troubled by this. Lately, the dreams of the maiden had been steadily growing darker and darker. He feared for her because something was very wrong with all of it.

"Terran…" The white haired man looked up at him. "Why do you hate them so?"

Terran stares over at Helios with his spring green eyes before closing them and sipping the tea thoughtfully before answering, " It is not them I hate, so much for what the prince's family had done in stupidity."

"And that would be?"

"They betrothed our prince to that woman. Hell, they allowed their meetings knowing…Knowing what the prophecy said." He sat up, "They knew…I remember telling them what the Maenads said that day in their false sleep."

Helios bowed his head. He, too, remembered their words. "…The child of Gaia shall arise and pave the way for to a new era…." But he shook his head even after he spoke part of the words. " It means nothing. The heart shall do what it wants."

"Aye, but see what their hearts have done so far." Terran says and set the teacup down, " They brought out the destruction of our world."

"No, that was destin-"

Terran slams his fist on the table, "for the love of Gaia, Helios! You know it as well as I. Beryl and that disgrace of a deity, Metallia were but the effect. If the Prince had been betrothed to one of the Trine, the downfall of the Golden Kingdom, Elysian, -Hell, even your precious Moon wenches- would've been the way they were before their meeting. Metallia would've been destroyed by our Prince's golden crystal, had he not let himself be blinded by the moon and heavens." He stood, " You- by the gods- you wouldn't have been captured by that wretched woman." Shaking his head, Terran moved towards the window and looked out of it. He could see his charge walking with the Maenads through the field and could tell that they were singing.

"She should've been born then. The people would've accepted her then since they had admired the Trine." He closes his eyes and pressed his hand against the glass. "Gods, how did we allow this to happen then, Helios?"

"White coral bells, upon a slender stock…" the lavender haired maiden sang to her princess dancing out in front.

The red haired maiden leapt and spun in mid air before landing daintily on her left foot. " Lilies of the Valley deck my garden walk…"

Together, both Lily and Matla sang, " Oh don't you wish that you could hear them ring. That would only happen when the fairies sing."

Elysion smiles slightly, they were trying to cheer her up. Sighing softly, she sat on the ground and felt slightly envious of them. Well, she felt that way with a lot of people. "I can't be elegant…or graceful…or anything. I'm not even powerful…why does she see me like that?"

The two maidens moved over to her, Matla sat down next to her, among the wild flowers. " Oh, because you are the child of your father."

Lily nodded, " And because you are none of hers, she will seek to destroy you." She turns the flower in her hands. " It doesn't matter whether feelings are involved or not, the child of the moon will seek to destroy or tame you."

"Eh? Why's that?" She looks at them, " Honestly, I do feel sorry for them all. I mean, I like them and they were so nice when I first came and even a bit nice after…after they found out."

She glances at their eyes before sitting up. What was wrong with them? They looked so serious.

"That is how those on the outside work, Elysion, do not be like your forebears of the throne and be trapped in their bewitchment." Malta's emerald gaze held the girl's eyes. "They tried that before, you see, and you can see the course that it went."

Now she was confused. What was this? What were they talking about?

"Matla, what do you mean?"

Matla shared a look with her sister then her princess, "We foresaw the true heir to the Earth's throne, Elysion."

The young girl blinks and shook her head; " You gotta be kidding me, right?"

"Usako." Endymion had found his wife striding down the hallway towards the war room. "What has gotten into you lately?"

The serene woman glances at him, "Nothing at all, Endymion." She tilts her head, " There's going to be a meeting in a few. Do tell the others."

He stares at her with something similar to disbelief at her words. "Usagi, seriously, what has happened? The energy you threw towards them wasn't for healing. You were going to destroy them. Why?"

Now, don't get him wrong. He understood the need to destroy the enemy but that was him and the others. Usagi…Usagi wasn't like that. The Usagi they knew would try to save everyone despite what they had done. His hand curls slightly before relaxing as he thought. What happened to the woman he had fell in love with?

Tilting her head up Serenity simply says, "They are the enemy, are they not?" She turns brushing by him lightly, "Do tell the others about the meeting."
