The only fic proven to fight boredom and cause insanity...

Here's another chapter! Only a few left. A bit sad yes, but I have the third part coming and I'm still working on Eternal Senshi IV!

Elphie Muse: And the author is still in a body cast.

Yeah yeah...let's all laugh at the disabled author...

Everyone: Okay. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

:glares: That was rhetorical.

And for those of you wondering about the Seiya and Haruka scene in last chapter, while it is true they don't get along, I think they do respect each other enough to be civil and actually get along. I mean, Uranus told Fighter to protect Moon in episode 198 of Stars as she and Neptune were dying. That to me shows that they would get along in the future, even if it was only a teensy bit.

Original Sailor Moon characters aren't mine and never will be. I do own my characters and the plot though, so don't steal them!

Last time on Eternal Senshi II:

"Only someone serving the Master of Hell and who has enough power can leave and enter without the gates opening," Hikari answered.

"So they're stuck in Hell until they come out?" Uranus asked.

Hikari reluctantly nodded. "I wish I could get us there, but I can't."

Uranus nodded slowly. "It's all right."

Kai weakly opened his eyes and looked around his surroundings. "Oh hell…" he muttered, recognizing where he was.

"Exactly," Neptune said. "Are you sure you won't join us?"

"Positive," he growled. "I came back in time to change the future, not be a part of it!" he thundered.

"Well it looks like you failed," Akurei smirked from a corner.

"What are you doing here?" Neptune demanded.

"Doing what I want," he replied.

"Leave me," Neptune ordered. Kai watched the exchange with fake interest. He was actually focusing on pulling a small dagger out of the Time Bracelet. He cursed silently as the shackles hindered his progress. He watched as Neptune and Akurei circled each other, hatred in their eyes for the other. With a soft grunt Kai finally pulled the small dagger free. He quickly but quietly began working on the lock to the shackles that held him against the cavern wall.

"What business do you want with me?" Neptune growled.

"No business. I just want to see you torture the prisoner on the Dark Lord's order," Akurei replied casually.

Kai silently cursed as the lock refused to give. Damn it! I'm too weak…I need more power…I need to go back to normal but that can only happen if Neptune returns to Uranus… he mused as he continued to work on the lock. I can't give up…Otōsan wouldn't…neither will I. He bit back a cry of pain as the dagger slit his hand. The blade fell to the ground but Neptune and Akurei didn't hear it over the screams and roars surrounding them.

"Damn it…" he cursed softly. He frowned when he saw a glow emit from his wound. He stared in shock as the white glow faded revealing his healed hand. A memory surfaced in his mind…

"Kaijin, this is now yours," Setsuna said, pressing something into the young boy's hand. "Your parents wanted you to protect this always."

The ten-year-old boy looked down into his hand. A crystal glinted in the light and flared up briefly. He looked up at Setsuna. "Nani desu ka?" he asked (What is it).

"The Silver Crystal," Setsuna said. "Sailor Moon entrusted it to your parents to protect. They did and in return this enhanced their own powers, though they never knew it," she said.

"But…I thought it couldn't Setsuna-sensei," a ten-year-old aqua haired girl said.

"Normally it cannot," Setsuna confirmed. "However, when Sailor Moon gave it to Uranus, it began to become one with her as it had with Sailor Moon." Setsuna paused for a moment to compose herself. "Sailor Moon…iie, the Princess informed Uranus that she was now the leader of the Senshi."

"So the Princess's power was passed on to our poppa?" Kai asked.

Setsuna nodded. "Though neither realized it."

"Then…shouldn't this go to Suiren? I mean…she is the next Uranus or Neptune…isn't she?" Kai asked (Water lily).

"She will receive that power when the time comes Kai. But this is your power, your destiny. Trust in me, but trust in yourself more," Setsuna said. Kai nodded and closed his fist around the Silver Crystal…

It…it merged with me… Kai realized as he felt himself fill up with power. I may not have as much power as I did before, but this will have to do! He closed his eyes and focused on Haruka's apartment. Please…work… he begged.

Neptune frowned and turned. Her eyes narrowed in frustration as she watched Kai disappear. She glared at Akurei. "Stay away from me or I won't hesitate to kill you!" she snapped and stormed away.

Kai grunted as he hit the concrete. He leapt up to his feet and grinned as the wind blew against his face. "Yes!" he exclaimed happily with a jump in the air. He turned and found himself standing on the balcony to Haruka's apartment, the Senshi all staring at him with arched brows and confused faces. His face flushed slightly as he scratched the back of his head.

Reno slid open the door and looked Kai up and down. "Well it's about the hell time," the dark red haired man chuckled, embracing Kai.

"It took a while for me to figure out, okay? Besides, I'm still only technically half here," Kai retorted with a grin. He looked behind Reno and his grin widened. "Hikari-sensei!" he exclaimed.

"Kai," Hikari smiled, hugging the teen.

"Okay, what the hell is going on?" Makoto demanded, thoroughly confused as to what was going on.

"Watch it with saying that word," Ami said.

"Sorry," Makoto said.

"But what is going on? How do you all know each other?" Sky demanded.

Kai looked at Reno. "I suppose we should tell them," he said. "But you are the time expert here so you try to explain it all."

"Gee thanks," Reno grumbled. He sighed and sat down on a recliner. "Okay. You all know Kaijin is Haruka-san and Michiru-san's son. And you know that he's a Guardian," Reno began.

Sky frowned. "Doesn't that mean he has a…"

"Yeah. I do," Kai said.

"Twins?" Haruka said in disbelief, feeling sorry for the Michiru from Kai's time.

"Guardians are twins of Senshi, remember?" Setsuna said.

"Indeed they are," Reno said. "And I'm the Guardian of Time. Which means I have a twin sister as well." He sighed.

"My sister stayed in the future to make sure that the forces of Hell stay where they are," Kai said. "Pluto sent Reno and Hikari back first and then I came back."

"Why just the three of you? Why didn't she come back herself?" Ami asked.

"Because the evil you attacked right before she forced me through the Time Portal," Kai said.

"And she knew we had been training for this day since we were born," Reno supplied. "Uranus and Neptune thought of it before they…" he trailed off.

"When they died, Hikari took me and my sister in and trained us how to fight," Kai picked up.

"But that doesn't explain how you were able to escape from Hell. Hikari told us only someone powerful and serving the leader could escape," Haruka said.

Kaijin looked at his two companions, unsure of what to say next. "Well…that is…um…" Kai stammered.

"He can't really say," Reno filled in quickly.

"They'll find out eventually, especially if Neptune puts two and two together," Hikari said. "Besides, they deserve to know."

Kai sighed. "All right. The truth is…when Sailor Moon was dying, she gave Uranus the Silver Crystal. When I was ten, Setsuna-obasan gave me the Silver Crystal."

"But you shouldn't be able to use its powers," Ami said.

"Sailor Moon didn't just give Uranus the Silver Crystal," Hikari said. "She somehow was able to pass her powers onto Uranus who then passed them onto Kaijin."

"Since Uranus nor myself are related to Sailor Moon, the powers take time to grow and mature. When I was trying to escape the shackles I was in, I cut myself and the powers finally manifested. I'm nowhere near as strong as I would be if the time line hadn't become botched, but I'm stronger than I was before," Kai explained.

"This is all very confusing…" Minako said.

"Best advice when it comes to trying to understand time paradoxes and such: don't," Reno said.

"Nice saying. Did you come up with that?" Seiya asked.

"No he didn't. It's from the TV show Star Trek: Voyager," Sky answered. Everyone looked at him in surprise. "What? It was a good show…" he mumbled.

Neptune knelt before the throne, hand over her heart. "Forgive me Lord, the prisoner escaped," she said.

"How? Only someone as powerful as you or Akurei could leave without the gates being open," the Lord thundered, his voice bouncing off the cavern walls.

"We do not know Lord," Akurei said.

"The boy is from the future," Neptune said. "He is the son of Uranus and myself," she went on.

"You can't be serious," Akurei scoffed.

"I am," Neptune growled. "He carries the Space and Sky Swords."

"Neptune is right," the Lord said. He chuckled. "This could prove to be useful."

"Might I ask how my Lord?" Akurei asked.

"This boy could prove to be a powerful ally…"

"Forgive me, but Kaijin will never turn," Neptune said.

"Not as he is now," the Lord agreed. "But if Uranus were to join us…"

"I shall see to it personally," Neptune said.

"Kill the others if they get in your way. I want only Uranus," the Lord specified. Neptune bowed in understanding and vanished. "Keep an eye on her Akurei."

"It shall be done my Lord," Akurei said and shimmered out of sight.

Haruka rested a hand on Kai's shoulder as he stared out over the city. "You all right?" she asked.

He smiled reassuringly. "I'm fine Otōsan," he said. "What about you?"

"I'm dealing," she replied.

"Worried about Okaasan?" he asked with a small smile.

Haruka returned his smile with a shake of her head. "How could you tell?"

"Well I am your son…" he chuckled. His mirth slowly died as the wind drastically picked up. "This isn't good…"

"Get the others up here now," Haruka ordered.

"And leave you alone to fight whatever's coming? I don't think so," Kai replied.

"Damn it just do it!" Haruka ordered.

"And I said no," he returned firmly.

He is my son, Haruka thought. "Minna, on the roof now!" she snapped in her communicator. "Don't blame me if you get hurt Kai." She pulled out her henshin pen. "Uranus Eternal! Make UP!"

"Hello lover," Neptune greeted, appearing on the railing.

"Neptune…what are you doing here?" Uranus asked.

"I came to recruit you to the right side," Neptune said.

"I'll never join you Neptune," Uranus said.

"You know this is wrong!" Kai added. "Fight whatever spell they've put on you! You know in your heart this is wrong!"

"Silence boy!" Akurei snapped, black lightening engulfing Kai. He sank to his knees and fell to the ground, doing all he could to hang onto consciousness. "Hurry up Neptune. The others will be here soon and I won't be able to hold them back alone."

Uranus pulled out her Space Sword. "You'll pay for what you did to my son. Space Sword Blaster!" Akurei leapt away from the attack and Neptune grabbed the Wind Senshi from behind. As the other Senshi and Kaze appeared on the roof, Neptune shimmered out of sight with Uranus, Akurei following.

"Kai!" Hikari and Reno yelled. They knelt down and helped him up.

Kai grunted in pain, the lightening having made him extremely weak. He glared at where Neptune and Akurei had been. "Kuso…" he snarled, holding his side. He finally succumbed to unconsciousness.

"Why would they just take Uranus and not Kai as well?" Saturn asked.

"They could be trying to turn Uranus as well," Moon said. Everyone looked at her, disbelief on their faces.

"I don't think…" Mars began.

"No, she's right," Kaze said.

"What?" Makoto asked.

"If they turn Uranus as well, then Kaijin will have turned as well," Reno said.

"Two birds with one stone," Hikari added.

"We have to get to them!" Moon exclaimed.

"But how?" Fighter asked. "I mean, we don't know how much time we even have before Kai turns."

"The Time Bracelet will protect him from whatever happens in this time," Reno said. "But that doesn't mean the evil Kaijin from the future can't come back if their plan succeeds," he said.

Haruka opened her eyes and looked around. She found herself in a lavish room lying on a large, soft bed. She pushed herself up and saw Michiru smiling lovingly at her. The aqua haired Senshi sat down on the bed and ran a hand through Haruka's short blonde hair.

"How do you feel?" Michiru asked softly.

"Groggy…what happened?" Haruka asked.

"What do you remember?" Michiru inquired.

Memories came crashing back and Haruka swiftly rolled out of the bed. "Everything. I told you, I'll never join you!"

Michiru rose from the bed and Haruka saw that she wore an elegant dark sea green dress. As the Dark Senshi came closer to Haruka, the blonde tried to back away, unable to sense her henshin pen anywhere. As Haruka tried to retreat, she ran into the corner of the doorless room.

"There is no escape love," Michiru purred. "Don't you want to be with me forever?" she asked.

"I want to be with the real you," Haruka said. "The you that cared about life and was willing to do whatever it took to save people, even if it met soiling your hands! The you that loves to play the violin and swim. Not the psychotic demon loving you!"

Michiru trapped Haruka and held the blonde's face with her hand. "That will change," she whispered. "Don't fight it. It will hurt less." She pulled Haruka's head close and kissed her, filling her with darkness. Haruka tried to resist but she was soon overpowered by the darkness, her eyes falling close.

Michiru waited for several moments. Haruka's eyes finally opened and they flared red before returning to their normal hue. The blonde looked at Michiru and kissed her deeply. The Sea Senshi returned the kiss.

Kaijin opened his eyes and slowly sat up. He felt something stir within him and he frowned. A searing bolt of pain ripped through him and he gasped in shock. Hikari rounded the corner of Haruka's apartment as another jolt of pain ripped through him. Her eyes widened and she hurried over to him.

Kai collapsed on the floor, curled up in pain. "HELP!" Hikari bellowed.

The others came running into the room. "What happened?" Usagi demanded.

"He just collapsed," Hikari answered.

Reno knelt down next to his friend and studied him for a moment. "I can't sense anything wrong with him…"

"Because nothing is," a cold voice said.

They turned, standing in front of Kai and saw Uranus and Neptune glaring at the Senshi. "We'll be taking our son back now," Neptune said.

"Fight this Uranus! Neptune! Onegai!" Usagi begged.

"We're taking our son one way or another," Uranus snarled.

"We won't let you!" Hikari snapped.

"Don't you think he should have a say about that?" a strong voice demanded. They turned and saw Kai rising slowly to his feet.

Uh oh...this isn't going well for the Senshi is it?

Hikari: No it isn't.

Uranus: At least you've only been evil once.

Elphie Muse: Um...while they bicker with the author, please review.

:from behind a closed door: That doesn't bend that way! Curse me for making fun evil characters!

Elphie Muse: oo;;;...
