Chapter 25

Campgrounds:

Ken sighs as he looks around, how could he have been so stupid? How could he let himself be fooled like that? Matt looks at the Child of Kindness and walks over to him, he knew that self-loathing and self-recriminating look. He'd gone through it himself after the Cherrymon incident. Tai, Davis, and Serena were in the Digital World, talking where they wouldn't have an audience. With the revelation of Tai's connection to the past Matt could understand why they needed to talk. Then there was the fact that Davis had to be worried sick about Serena, even if they weren't dating now they were still soul bonded. That meant Davis was going to keep her a little closer than usual for the next little while, Kari and Cody had explained Soul Bonds and how they worked to the others.

Matt just sits beside the Child of Kindness and lets him know without words that he was there for him. Jeri and Kari are sparring together while Joe and Izzy take Cody in hand and start telling him their stories about the Digital World. Tai was right, their successors needed to know the truth. Izzy told Cody about how Vademon almost tricked him into giving up his curiosity for good while Joe told him how much of a nervous wreck he had been, how he had balked at doing what needed to be done for them all to survive. How he'd slowly grown over the course of time, learning that sometimes one had to do things they might find morally wrong in order to survive.

Digiworld:

While Cody is getting lessons of the past from his predecessors Tai and Davis are both fussing over Serena, one as a worried boyfriend and the other as a worried older brother. Sure, Tai had healed her but, she was still weak, which was why they had come back into Digiworld, where Serena could hopefully recover in peace. She was cuddled into Davis as he leans back against a boulder, " Where precisely do you train here in Digiworld, Davis? " Tai asks him.

Both knew they couldn't treat her like a Ming Vase even though they wanted to so badly. Instead they let her rest cuddled with her soul mate. Davis was the best medicine for her right now. " Not that far from here, Tai. I'm glad you were reincarnated, I don't know if I can protect her from Endymion and her senshi at the same time. "

" Oh, trust me, they will not get a second opportunity at my little sister, wait, third since Pluto did manage to get at her, though I wonder why they've stayed away? " Tai muses out loud.

" Probably Galaxia, Ren does remember Galaxia answering her call for help. " Davis points out.

Juuban:

Kou Seiya grins as he stalks Mizuno Ami. The bitchy genius was going to pay for what she helped to do to Odango. Sure, Seiya may never have her but, that didn't mean he/she couldn't protect Odango as one of her court. Admittedly Damacles was much more worthy of Odango than Endymion had ever been. He kept rearranging her things, leaving her little presents that jabbed at her failure as a senshi which meant she couldn't go to the cops, not that they'd help her anyhow. Sailor Moon was beloved by all, including, surprisingly enough, the Yakuza. None of the Sol Senshi could go outside at night for fear of the Yakuza deciding to kill them should they cross paths.

As he/she follows Mercury he/she grins, Usagi had once told him that Mizuno Ami completely ignored her limbic system. Perhaps he/she could play around with that somehow. Maybe turn the bitch into a concubine on Kinmoku instead of outright killing her. It was an idea to toy with at any rate, she'd learn new skills and Mizuno Ami did love learning, he/she knew that much. Seiya would bring the idea up to Galaxia and see how she liked it. Right now he/she was just going to have fun making the reincarnated Mercurian jump at shadows. It would be interesting to see what was hidden under such loose clothing.

Seiya keeps out of the Mercurian's sight even as he/she ponders what Mizuno Ami looked like without clothes on. Seiya could see how repressed Ami actually was doing naught but school work. Someone really should loosen the blue haired teen up. Seiya pauses and then teleports to Galaxia to report in, none of the Starlights reported in at the same time. Seiya reports on his/her observations and thoughts on what to do with Mizuno Ami. When the concubine plan was mentioned Galaxia smirks, " What about turning her into a porn star here on Earth first, seduce her, Fighter, awaken the little sex kitten inside of her and slowly start releasing her inhibitions. "

Seiya grins, " I can really get behind this assignment. "

" Go forth and seduce the Mercurian bitch, teach her the pleasures of the flesh, and then work on getting her on camera, pimp her out for all I care. Sex her up. " Galaxia says.

Seiya teleports back and then changes her appearance, yuri sold a lot better, she now had short red hair, wore a red tube top that barely covered her breasts, a pair of black booty shorts, and red stiletto heeled boots. Before she'd been chosen as Fighter she'd been a high class escort, she knew how to seduce anyone. Let the games begin.

While Seiya sets about seducing Ami Kou Taiki is systematically destroying what was left of Kaioh Michiru's reputation, they all had to be punished somehow. Several pictures of Michiru in revealing bikinis were released, some of them were provocative in nature as well. This set the tongues to wagging and the violin prodigy was starting to get propositioned almost hourly. She'd get accosted in the ladies room as she was felt up and assaulted in pleasant ways. One group even planned out their assault, ripped her clothes off and taped what they did to her, posting it on a special site. Sure, Michiru loved the female form, but she only wanted Haruka doing those things to her.

Yaten is having too much fun terrorizing Aino Minako, the blonde had always annoyed Yaten and now was his/her opportunity to get even. Then there was the fact that Minako had turned on Usagi, the Light of Hope, the princess that Kakyu-hime had given them to. He/she hadn't liked Usagi at first but then realized what Seiya had known all along, Usagi was one of a kind, far too kind for her own good at times. The way she was verbally torn down by Hino Rei and yet did nothing about it said scores. Minako was jumping at shadows and Yaten was loving it.

Toshima:

Damon Marcus frowns thoughtfully, he hadn't heard from his cousin Usagi in years and it was starting to worry him. He knew she wasn't dead, otherwise her partner Lunamon would have faded away. Lunamon was in the Silver and Yellow datalink that he still held on to, hoping one day soon he'd know what happened to her. Sure, he knew that the senshi had attacked Sailor Moon, Usagi, yeah, he'd known, Kristy and Keenan had seen everything go down, seen Sailor Galaxia intervene, so he knew his cousin was still alive but most likely hidden and possibly she didn't even remember who she was, what had happened, being run through by two swords happened to be a very traumatic experience.

He'd been pissed to find out she'd been betrayed, Marcus hated betrayal. Keenan had been the one to bring the Datalink to him as finding out what had happened to his cousin had brought him home a lot quicker than he would have come back otherwise. Unlike everyone else he knew the identities of the senshi and he would make sure they paid for what they had done. Keenan had told him that Saturn and Jupiter had put up an impressive fight to protect her but, had been killed with Moon taking their Star Seeds inside hers.

Digiworld:

Tai was working on calling his power up and shaping it while Davis runs his fingers up and down Serena's right arm, " Not bad, Tai. " Davis says.

" Thanks, it's hard getting things back to what they were before everything went to hell. Stupid mother, ruining everything for Serena. She did all of that when Heero and I couldn't get away to stop her. Serena was never the same after your death and Aphrodite, I have never seen her so pissed off along with Hestia and Demeter. Endymion had no further conquests after he raped his own younger sister, Demeter saw to that. Hestia, well, let's just say she got her revenge as well by having Beryl's uprising on Earth succeed, ruining Endymion's home. "

" Hestia always did have a vicious streak. " Davis admits.

" How are you doing after she damn near died protecting you, Davis? "

Davis winces at this, " I'm still a little shaky, dammit, I'm supposed to protect her not the other way around, yeah, I know she was Senshi Moon, ass kicker extraordinaire, but she was mine to protect, to love, and should have been mine to marry. "

" Yeah, mother did fuck that up quite spectacularly, didn't she? " Tai muses, " Heero and I approved of you which of course meant she had to get rid of you. How many Sailor Assassins did it take to bring you down? "

Davis snorts at this, " A hundred seventy two. "

" You killed 171 Sailor Assassins? "

" No, I killed all 172, it's just the last one took me with her, the bitch, no offense she was Solarian in origin. "

Tai's eyes narrow, " I specifically remember ordering no Solarian to touch you. "

Time Gates:

Sailor Pluto shivers as she can feel Prince Taiden's rage from where she was. Him remembering was the worst thing that could have happened unless Heero and Duo were to show up and take them to task. Taiden was not going to be pleased with them no matter what way the dice were tossed. A pissed off Prince Taiden was not someone anyone wanted to deal with and messing with his little sister was one surefire way to engage his temper. Why had they attacked Sailor Moon again? Oh yeah, the little bitch was refusing to fulfill her destiny and marry Endymion-sama.

What Pluto failed to comprehend was her cousin, Sailor Destiny was acting to get destiny itself back on course before Lady Destiny intervened. Sailor Galaxia's intervention had actually been a boon for Sailor Destiny.

Destiny Gates:

Sailor Destiny sighs wearily, why must her cousin be so stubborn? Her body suit happened to be gray, her skirt, scarf, boots, and arm guards were all green while her bows, gloves, leggings, star earrings, star jewel in her tiara, and the star charm on her choker were all dark red. The choker was also green. The was one green star in the center of her skirt on the dark red waistband while there was a gray stripe at the bottom of the skirt and a dark red one above that. The top of her green boots was trimmed in dark red as well. Her gloves were trimmed with green as well similar to how all the Sol System senshi's gloves were trimmed. Her eyes were orange and her tiara was golden in color. The scarf also had three dark red lines on it and there were no sleeves to her senshi uniform. The star in the center of her front bow was green as well.

Lachesis, her dark red Mauan guardian and advisor was currently keeping watch on the situation unfolding in Odaiba. Why did Bitchenity and others think they could fuck with destiny like this? The hime was destined to be with Damacles, now Motomiya Daisuke, that was certain. Nothing could change that, including a jumped up Moon Queen. It pissed her off to think of what things would have been like if Bitchenity had left well enough alone and then there was the fact Sedation was reincarnated as a male. She had no idea where Sedation's soul mate happened to be.

She did like the fact that Taiden was now in the mix, that would make it much harder for Bitchenity to pull any of her crap, Taiden wouldn't tolerate it. " Shukumei, it's been a while, hasn't it? "

Destiny, Shukumei's eyes widen as she spins around, " Stratus, what are you doing here anyhow? "

" The hime is a digidestined twice over, Usagi was a member of the Data Squad, well, more of a freelancer than true member. Two of mine in a different dimension are also Net Savers and quite frankly they're bored. " What she didn't say was that MegaMan, Hub Hikari was the soul mate of that dimension's Tsuki no Hime. Getting him a physical form had been a bitch and a half to say the least.

Destiny and Stratus start plotting on how to make the senshi even more miserable though they did like Galaxia and Fighter's idea of turning Mercury into a sex kitten. They decided to set Chaud loose on them in the financial world, get him set up and let him network before striking at the heart of them while Lan would help Naru with protecting the hime digitally and making their lives hell digitally as well. MegaMan/Hub would be a boon in that aspect. Plus, well, he'd be pissed that a counterpart of his soulmate's had been treated in such a manner.

Only Lan and Chaud knew that MegaMan did in fact have a human form, he continued to act as a Navi to keep suspicions allayed except for when his princess needed him. Even then he and Lan generally crossfused to help her out as they had learned how to without a Dimensional Area, though with both of them being technomancers and reincarnated Mercurians, specifically they had lived in Techopolis, the tech capital of the Silver Millennium. They had met the hime there and she and Hub had just been drawn together.

Stratus had managed to give a plausible story as to why Hub Hikari hadn't been seen in years to the Emperor of Japan. The Emperor had been a Destined Child and knew of Sailor Stratus so when the time was right Hub Hikari would be able to re-emerge into society. Of course, explaining to the rest of his family was going to be fun, as it was they didn't even know he was dating and if they did expect they'd think he would end up with Roll.

The princess of the Digital World was having fun plotting with Sailor Destiny, as the norm Sol System senshi needed to be taken down several pegs. Plus, it meant she could set the highly devious Lan loose on them at some point. It wasn't often that Lan got to let his inner prankster out anymore. Once his friend Akira had moved away Lan rarely busted out his pranking prowess unless someone really pissed him off or if Kitsune needed his help. He still didn't know that his twin's girlfriend and Kitsune were one in the same. Hub was waiting for the right moment to get maximum impact from that particular news.

Digital World:

We leave Destiny and Stratus to their plotting to find Tai working on his solar powers some more. He was mostly working on calling light up at the moment, never knew when one was going to get stuck in a dark cave or a black out. Davis had fallen asleep as well, curled up with Serena. Tai knew the pair of them needed the time together, mostly to get Davis settled again after his soul bonded mate decided to jump in front of an attack for him.
