Her Pure Heart
Chapter 8
Raye's P.O.V
I stared at the closed door in shock, how could she take away my powers they were who I was. I was a Sailor Scout, the princess of Mars, and I did not deserve to be treated this way. Getting to my feet I quickly charged after her anger brewing in me. Exiting the temple, I growled spotting Usagi with MY prince. Not thinking I charged over to her and with all the strength I could summon I tackled her to the ground shocking everyone as I landed in top of her and slapped her hard before grabbing her long blonde hair and yelling, "This is all your fault! You ruin everything you fucking spoiled brat! You do not deserve to be a princess you don't deserve anything! You are fucking garbage and I wish the negaverse had destroyed you from the very beginning!"
"R-Raye…?" the blonde stammered looking up at me in eyes went wide at her expression as the gravity of what I had just done hit me. Quickly I scrambled off her as dread filled me. Almost instantly Venus had me pinned to the ground in a crushing grip as Mamuro and Haruka rushed forward to help Usagi. I could see her heavily leaning onto Mamuro's shoulder her eyes disoriented. I could hear their hushed whispered as Haruka picked her up and handed her to Sestuna and Michiru.
"Have her powers been removed Venus?" Mamuro asked coldly, the sky darkening and the area becoming chilled as Venus nodded, "Stand her up," he all but growled as Minako forced me to kneel before the man I had a crush on.
"How dare you!" Haruka snarled standing beside the earth prince her eyes glowing a golden orange. I felt guilt well up inside of me unsure of how I should respond.
"You are lucky that this is not the silver millennium, you would have been sent to the void. She is your princess and future queen. Your feelings on this do not matter nor does your opinion. You were born to serve her, and until you figure this out you will be locked away. You will be treated as a traitor and a coward and will be locked away in Elysium." Mamuro stated his Endymion side beginning to show. I shivered and looked down at the ground only for my chin to be grabbed harshly, "You will not look away! You do not seem to understand the severity of your crime, she could have been severely injured, and then what would you do if we were attacked. You inner scouts are barely able to handle these attacks as is. You all could have been hurt or worse, killed."
His words hit me hard, and I knew that I needed to change. I had never considered what could happen if we did not have Usagi with us in battles, if we did not have the power of the silver crystal to bring us back to life if we were critically injured. Tears welled up in my eyes as Mamuro hauled me to up to my feet his grip on my arm harsh as he summoned his own crystal. Suddenly we were surrounded by a golden light as we appeared in a field of beautiful flowers. Cuffs appeared on my wrists as he guided me into a large building. Golden orbs surround the house and were in the halls as Mamuro lead me into a cell and locked it. "I will return every two days. The servants will make sure you have food and water, but you will stay in this cell until you can fully understand why you are being treated this way." He glared at me and slammed the cell door shut leaving me alone in the building.
Haruka's P.O.V
I watched at Mamuro left with the former scout before turning to look at Venus, "Will you be alright being down two scouts now?" I asked knowing I would not allow Usagi to fight for a little while.
Venus sighed softly, but nodded, "I am going to start training Mercury and Jupiter. I am the only one that is able to take on an enemy alone and win. It is high time they gain their full powers. I do not want Usagi to continue to have to fight." I nodded and placed a hand on the younger scout's shoulder as Mamuro appeared beside us once more. We both nodded to Venus and headed out to my car to find Usagi asleep in Sestuna's lap, tears streak down her face.
"Has Mars been dealt with?" Michiru asked softly turning to look at us. Mamuro nodded as I pulled out my keys. Sliding into the driver's side Michiru taking up position next to me as Mamuro slide into the back and took Usagi from Sestuna. Starting the car, I quickly drove off towards the arcade where Chibiusa and Hotaru were spending the afternoon. My grip was tight on the wheel as I tried to calm myself down before we picked up the young girls. I was struggling to understand how Mars could be so damn petty. She was born a scout the sense of duty to her princess; and yet she was cruel and tortured my soulmate. It struck a cord in me, that I could barely supress. I understood that this world was far different then our time, but it should not affect them to the point that they can resist their training. I needed to figure out what exactly what was going on before it got worse.
