My Life the Lie Chapter 6: Face off
Rei and Makoto arrived back to the house at the same moment Hotaru did. Setsuna had to take Hotaru to another room to calm the young girl down. Hotaru refused many times to give up the Pink Moon Crystal but finally did after Setsuna talked with her. Makoto and Rei were explaining to the others about what happened to Mamoru. They didn't tell the others who killed Mamoru. The inners and Setsuna knew though who did it. It was just a feeling they all shared.
"A shot came out of nowhere and hit Prince Endymion. He died shortly after that." Rei was telling the whole story while Makoto remained quiet. After hearing the two stories, one from Rei and one from Hotaru, she went into her leadership mode.
"Setsuna, bring Haruka and Michiru back with you to Tokyo. Make sure Usagi is okay. She can probably feel what has happened to Mamoru if Chibi-Usa could feel it. Keep her safe for us. Give Usagi the Pink Moon Crysal and the Golden Crystal when you get back."
Setsuna and the others quickly left. "I think it's time we pay Heero Yuy a little visit."
Ami and Rei looked at each other warily and slowly nodded. Makoto nodded as well and the four inners and Hotaru walked out of the house and towards the G-boys location. Heero on the other hand was tracing them as they were headed in their direction.
"There you are!" Rei yelled out at Heero, "Why? How could you do this to us!"
"I did everything I could to keep you from taking Lita." Heero spat at her. "I did it for Quatre and Trowa as well. You can't take Mina and Lita from us"
"When will you get the truth past your thick skulls. They aren't the Mina Winner and Lita Barton you came to know them as. They are our friends and fellow senshi Makoto Kino and Minako Aino. None of you are related to them and you should have never met them. There is a great time difference between the 21st century and a.c. 195. Besides ruining our future, nothing else has changed. All the sailor senshi will be going back to the past and will remain there." Rei got into a fighting position. Wufei stepped forward.
"If you want to fight with someone onna, you can fight me." Wufei got into a similar stance to Rei's. Rei barked at him, "I don't want you Chang. I want Yuy! He was the one who killed Mamoru!"
Quatre, Trowa, and Duo looked at Heero in shock. Wufei scoffed at them and Rei, "The man got what was coming to him."
"No!" Quiet little Ami spoke up, "Mamoru was pure and kind-hearted. Even if you had a grudge against a man was it worth it to take a life of a little girl, Heero Yuy?"
"What do you mean?" Heero turned his full attention to the blue-haired genius. "I did not kill anyone today except Mamoru Chiba."
Hotaru's eyes darkened at his statement, "You killed a little pink head named Chibi-Usa Tsukino. She was the future daughter of Usagi Tsukino and Mamoru Chiba. Now she won't exist due to the fact Mamoru has been murdered. She was my best friend!"
"I'm sorry for the lost of your little one, but this is a war. People die in wars." Heero watched Minako step foward in rage. Duo quickly stepped in front of his girlfriend.
"Mina, babe. Don't hurt Heero! Don't do this!" Minako tried to punch him but he jumped away. She turned around to face him.
"I don't want to fight you," Quatre saw Ami approach him. "Well, your friend hasn't left us with much of a choice, has he?" Ami looked over to Heero. "I don't want to fight you either Quatre."
"Who are you?" Trowa asked Hotaru. "I am the goddess of death," Hotaru replied. Trowa looked over to Duo, "Hey Duo, is this one your sister?"
Duo looked angrily at the dark haired girl. How could she use the goddess of death moniker. He was the god of death. Heero didn't have to turn around to know that he was stuck with one pissed off girl. He closed his eyes and heard the crackle of electricity.
"Makoto..."
"You killed him in front of me. You took away everything I was looking ahead to."
"Everything! I did my research on Crystal Tokyo and found out about the senshi living there. They lived without having a guy to love. They sacrificed their time and happiness just to serve some cry baby queen. They lived unhappily ever after," Heero struck a nerve.
"I would give anything for Usagi's happiness. This is the life I have sworn to live. My mission is to protect my princess." Makoto yelled to him, upset he couldn't understand what it was like to live the life of a planetary senshi.
Duo backed away slowly as Mina snapped her love chain like a whip. "I will never forgive the Gundam pilots. Love-Me-Chain!" The love chain sped towards Duo. Out of nowhere a scythe appeared in Duo's hands. The chain wrapped around the scythe and Duo used all this strength to pull a surprised Minako to him. She pulled out her wand, however Duo knocked it away from her before she could use it. He kissed her quickly, 'remember who you were before any of this ever happened. Before you met the other senshi, you were my secret girlfriend. None of the other guys knew it but you and I would sneak out just so we could be together.'
Rei was shooting fireball after fireball at Wufei. He was seriously getting peeved off at the raven-haired girl.
"Are you afraid to fight me without your fire?" Rei stopped shooting at him and went into a full out hand-to-hand combat with the honorable fighter.
"Are we going to start fighting?" Quatre asked Ami. The two of them just watched the others. "What's the point. The only thing that will happen is that someone will get hurt. I'm not a fighter, I'm not too stubborn, and I don't have a future."
Quatre grabbed both of Ami's hands, "Ami, the future is what you make of it. You will still have a future, only it will be very different then the one that you expected to come. No one should see too much of their future because it's not completely set in stone that it will come to be."
"You know Quatre, an old friend of mine almost gave up once because his future was bad. He had the power to see into the future and I actually taught him exactly what you are telling me now."
Hotaru watched Trowa's every step as he came closer to her.
"Trowa Barton, this isn't the life you want. I've looked deep in your heart and I see hope hidden inside. You don't have to fight anymore." Hotaru bit her lip when she saw his emotionless expression.
"My name is not Trowa Barton. I'm a nameless soldier dragged into this war because I wanted to learn about my past."
Hotaru changed into her sailor form and replied, "I am also a soldier dragged into this war. The other senshi wanted me to live a normal life when I was turned into an infant but my fate was not to be normal."
Makoto and Heero were having a stare down when a helicopter fly above the group. Trieze stood by an opening and looked down with a smile.
"Hey not to point out the oblivous, but isn't he supposed to be dead? How did he appear at Quatre's place and now here," Duo asked the other pilots. Heero looked up with a scowl, "That's the same thing I thought when I first saw him."
Hotaru closed her eyes, "I sense the power of the stars from them. Could they be?"
Zechs stood at the opening too along with a dark haired man. Minako slowly began to recognize who they were.
"Starlights..."
Next time on MLTL: The Sailor Starlights make a return and start a battle with the sailor senshi. Jupiter wants to finish what she started with Heero Yuy. Usagi makes a wish that will effect everybody.
