"I hope the day has found you well, princess," said a suave voice.
"I am well, but nerved by you absents the other night," Rini said sternly. She was playing with her pink hair. She still had the same pointed bun hair style like always, she choose to keep it short. She felt it was her own style, but similar to her mothers. She would look at herself and always say she looks better then she ever did as Black Lady. Her red eyes were still fixed on the handsome man before her. His playful blond hair curled around his face. His eyes intrigued everyone. Many people could not tell if they were purple, blue, or grey at times.
"I pray you forgive that rudeness," the young prince started, "an emergency happened at my Kingdom".
"So what was this emergency," Rini questioned.
"I can't tell you that. It's for my kingdom's safety," the young prince bowed. Rini looked at him coldly. She didn't like secrets, and felt it was her right as the princess of the universe to be informed of all matters. Neo Queen Serenity kept her up to date on all affairs. There was silence for a moment. The prince smiled at Rini playfully. He moved closer to her. He lifted her chin with his gloved hand gently. Rini's heart was beating fast. Her first kiss was going to happen so soon. She was ready for it. She has liked him for so long. His delicate finger slowly moved to her lips, and then gently flicked an eyelash away. Rini had a hard time not showing her sadness. The prince playfully smiled. He knew what he was doing, but to kiss her was not in the stars yet. Rini turned away for a bit. Her cheeks began to get a cute rosy shade of pink. The young prince smiled. He liked her a lot, but he wasn't brave enough to show it or express it.
"So this is where I find you," said a strong low female voice. A young woman was walking their way. Her dark pink hair covered her right eye. She wore a long black skirt and tall heals. Her blouse was a pearl white with a black tie. She was very elegant and mature looking. Her vibrant blue eyes were strong and beautiful.
"Sable," Rini said excitedly. Sable was Ami and Greg's daughter from Mercury. They often visited each other. After Rini's coming of age ball, they became friends. It was odd how two people disliking Rini's servant girl's personality could bring two people together. Sable greeted her friend with a smug smile, and continued to eye the prince. In her mind, she agreed that he was indeed hansom. She would be flirting if it wasn't for her best friend. The two girls started to talk about the up coming ball on Mars.
"It's another ploy, for Queen of Mars to seem better then everyone else," Rini groaned. Rini remembered how Raye was an awesome person and kind, but after she became famous things changed. Fame went to her head.
"Its really sad," Sable started, "she is trying to compete with your mother, who has done so much for the good of the universe".
"Perhaps she feels that she is less then her companions and none of her companions have helped her to see other wise," the prince commented. Sable and Rini gave him a stern look. The prince looked away, realizing that it was impossible for him to join a conversation were he didn't share their views. He started to feel very odd at the moment. The girls were busy gossiping, and he stood there not wanting to listen to the meaningless drivel. A small girl walked with a silver platter of goodies in her hands. Her dark brown hair was neatly put up in a thick bun with curls falling around it, and her face. High lights of green, yellow, and red were showing up everywhere. It was as if her hair was changing with the seasons. It would be fall soon, and her highlights were fitting into the changing of leaves. Her icy blue eyes were very stunning. The prince could not help but look deep into them. He was almost memorized by them. It's a rarity to get a view of the beauty before him, and that moment he realized there was something new surging through his body. His thoughts were broken as he heard Rini's voice break his thoughts.
"Thanks for the snacks, but you don't need to be rudely staring at people," Rini stated with a harsh tone. The maid realized she was staring into the princes' eyes as well. The man bowed and whispered an apology. She quickly turned to leave, when a loud slam came from a near by door.
"You are lucky the peace treaty was not destroyed," Serena bellowed.
"I am surprised peace was something easy to come from you," the tall stout man shouted back. The three kids watched the conflict between them. It was the prince's uncle. He was explaining the emergency that came to the Dark Moon Kingdom. Rini watched her mom in admiration. She was very hurt they missed her party and the announcement of peace. She would always look down on them as well for it. Rini also wondered if her mother had asked about their influence on the fight that broke that night.
Just as the memory of that night came to Rini's mind, the sky darkened. Floating in the air was a tall woman with dark red hair. She was wearing a long black dress. She was laughing viciously. Rini took no time to hide. She found a spot and transformed into Neo Sailor Moon. Neo Sailor Moon just appeared in time as the woman flashed bolts of lightning onto the ground. She saw Sable doing her best to combat against her, but alas she was not affective.
"Stop right there, I am the soldier of the New Era, I am Neo Sailor Moon," Neo Sailor Moon shouted. The woman looked at her and laughed. She clapped her hands together sending a bolt of lightning towards Neo Sailor Moon. Neo Sailor Moon jumped quickly out of the way. The ground shook and burned from the fierce energy.
"Ah little girl, you will not be able to destroy the power that is coming," the woman laughed. Neo Sailor Moon questioned the intent on the comment and the woman, but there was not an answer. Neo Sailor Moon reached for her tiara, and flung it towards the woman. The tiara struck the woman's hand. The woman let out a scream then began to laugh.
"Protection is the only thing that will bring you down," the woman laughed. She created a long chain of lightning in her hands. She flung it towards the maid. It caught her, and sent a surge of pain through the maid's body. The maid began to scream. Neo Sailor Moon watch emotionless, she was not concerned with the situation. She flung her hand into the air, and from the sky appeared a rod of light. (Looks like Mini Moon's wand but bigger and white).
"Light of the Moon Purity," Neo Sailor Moon yelled. A bright light shown from the pink heart crystal on top of the rod, and then the light raced towards the woman. The woman screamed from the pain of the light. It seemed to burn her and her dress. It was still on her body, but barely coving anything.
"I see you don't care about the people of this time," the woman growled, "let this guilt drive into your heart". The woman turned towards the maid and sent a large bright flash in her direction. The maid looked up weakly. She didn't have the strength to move. She clutched to the earth hoping to be saved. A dark purple light started to emit from her body. It was very light, and very hard to see against the lightning energy coming towards her. Suddenly a tall man picked her up in his arms. She was saved, but was too weak to stay awake. Neo Sailor Moon looked at the dark looking man. He thrust a dark red rose towards the woman, still holding onto the maid. The rose hit the woman's hand.
"To pick on the innocent is beyond evil," the man said. He looked at Neo Sailor Moon. His piercing green eyes sent shivers down her spine. His golden hair fell around his back, and was very strait, and was held in a loose ponytail. A black mask covered his head, but left enough eye holes to see. A black silk shirt was left open to show a strong chest. The black pants were loose. He reminded Neo Sailor Moon of a pirate. She thought for a moment about what he said, and realized she should protect the maid, no matter the feelings she harvested towards her. She lifted the wand into the air once again.
She whispered "Power of the Moon Heals you". The power of the attack was magnified by the Wand of Light. The attack hit the woman, sending her reeling to the ground.
"You do care about these people," the woman started, "but do you love them enough to put your life before the darkest Chaos the universe had ever seen"? With that the woman vanished. The sky lightened and the sounds of life filtered into everyone ears. The young prince fell as he looked before him, the maid laid silent and unmoving. He reached for her and held her tightly, sending his life energy to her. She was still unconscious. She looked at peace in her deep sleep. Sable was at the Queen's side helping her to stand. Neo Sailor Moon went to her hiding place, and turned back into Rini. She then went to her mother's side.
"If I was the one who attacked you, then why would I attack myself," the uncle of the prince growled. He picked himself up and bolted from the garden. The prince looked at Darien, and handed the sleeping maid to him. Darien held her tightly and nodded with a promise to take care of her. The prince left to catch up with his uncle. Serena, Sable, and Rini watched as Darien delicately carried the maid into the castle. Rini could not help but feel sorry for her mother, and anger towards her maid. Sable was sharing in the hatred and disgust. The three women went their own way towards the castle.
The room was hazy. A small girl sat up. She held her head a bit and realized she was in the King's quarters. She looked around her and saw a purple kitten by her feet. The King was not in the room. It was silent, but filled with the sound of a clock. The kitten woke from her nap.
"How are you feeling, Terra," the purple kitten whispered. It was good to hear her name.
"I feel a bit dizzy," Terra whispered. The kitten looked up at her and moved to Terra's knee. She licked her cheek. "What was that for, Diana," Terra asked blushing and petting the kitten on her head.
"I…just am glad that you are ok," Diana replied. Suddenly a tall figure came through the door. He turned to lock the door, and then turned to Terra with a big smile. He came to her side and held her hand.
"I am glad to see you are ok, my child," the figure smiled. Terra responded with a sweet smile and a hug. The figured tightly held Terra. Terra was confused from the attention. She never had any parents, but King Darien was like a father to her. She wasn't sure why he treated her so wonderfully. She hated the conflict it brought between Rini and her, but she liked having someone watch over her like family. She looked at Diana. Still a small kitten, but had a wonderful heart. She had not matured into her age yet. She was still learning about life, and how to guide the Sailor Team. Her mother, Luna was a great teacher and visited Terra often, and loved Diana a lot. But since Neo Queen Serenity gave her a human form, she was working and conversing among the planets to keep peace among the universe. Her father Artimis was enjoying his human body as well. He learned the art of transforming and would be human to help train the military, and be a cat dad to his daughter, Diana. Terra longed to have a family like Diana.
"Darien, would I be able to marry a prince someday," Terra asked. Darien looked at her and thought for a moment. He smiled and gave a playful look.
"You fancy the young prince Adam from the Dark Side of the Moon, don't you," Darien asked. Terra blushed. He was right. She could still feel his eyes on hers. There was something different about him. Her heart said yes, but her mind said no, and yet she seemed to keep falling for him. She only feared that she was nothing more to him then a maid.
"You can love anyone who returns their love to you," Darien whispered. He kissed her forehead and left the room. Terra rested for a bit longer. She told the story to Diana about how she met the prince, and being attacked. Diana listened, but held back her tears. Rini was once her best friend to, but Rini was to mature to even give her guardian a chance to be there for her. She knew more then what Rini thought, but Rini wouldn't listen. She loved Terra dearly, but she couldn't let go of the memories of the past. She wished her mother was here to help. She would go and ask father when he returned from the training camp.
