Her Pure Heart
Chapter 13
Author's P.O.V
They were back in Elysium a week after the attack; the Shintennou's stones resting upon an alter. Helios had set everything that his royal family would need for this ritual to resurrect the four kings, as well as a place for Usagi to rest after it was done. The sailor scouts had accompanied the royal family and for two of the inner scouts it was their first time in Elysium.
"How did this place even survive. Scientifically this is impossible," Mercury commented causing Mamuro, in his Endymion form, to roll his eyes.
"You should know by know that it should not matter if science says it is possible as our whole existence is not possible according to science. You are supposed to be the scout of Mercury and represent the knowledge of your people. Act like it," Mamuro commented causing Haruka to chuckle as she helped Usagi up the stairs of the alter.
"Take your positions; we are only 2 minutes away from the moon reaching its highest point and Usagi will need all the power she can get," Venus order as all the scouts took their positions around the alter. Mamuro came to stand beside his princess. They had planned this ritual meticulously, to make sure that Usagi would not need to supply all the power to Mamuro would draw out his own crystal and power of Elysium along with the scouts to power up the silver crystal and then at the high point of its zenith they would unleash it onto the Shintennou's stones to resurrect them. All together the scouts began to glow the same colour as the elements they represented and Mamuro glowed gold. Usagi stood before them and summoned her sceptre, sending the energy towards the stones as the whole field was consumed in a healing light.
Kunzite's P.O.V
I groaned as I sat up my eyes snapping open as I braced myself for Beryl's attack. Seeing nothing coming towards me I carefully looked around shocked to see not only my prince but Serenity herself, "H-how…?" I croaked out my throat dry and sore.
"Welcome back my friend," Endymion smiled and came over to me as I noticed Uranus picked up Serenity and carried the sleeping princess to a stone bench, "I know you must be confused, but do not fear you are safe, we are in Elysium."
I nodded at my words and carefully stood up, surprised, that for once I was not actually sore just stiff from not moving. "W-what happened to Beryl?" I asked looking at my prince. I could tell something was truly different about him. He looked happier, more care free then I have ever seen him.
"Peace Kunzite. This is not the same time you remember. We are no longer in the silver millennium. Our kingdom and that of the moon kingdom and its allies fell long ago. Queen Serenity was able to seal away Beryl in hope that when she came to rise again she would be defeated and we could live in peace. All those around you are reincarnations of the past. In this time, I am known as Mamuro," My prince stated, and my eyes went wide. We had been captured and turned against our own kingdoms, and the ruling family of earth. Forced to fight against those we love and kill our own monarchs. I could still remember Zoisites screams as they tortured my love, "The others?" I asked fearing the worst.
"They are still unconscious behind you," He said as I quickly turned around and spotted my fellow knights and rushed to them reaching Zoisite first. Carefully I pulled him into my arms and held him close as Endymion came up behind me, "You are safe here and they will wake soon so rest easy Kunzite."
"how is this all possible Endymion? What happened to our kingdoms?" I asked thinking about my own home.
"Your kingdoms fell with mine as Beryl took control of the earth. The earth was reborn, and the moon kingdom was destroyed. we were all reborn as Beryl escaped her prison. You were reawakened with her as you were sealed with her. Everything was possible because of the imperium silver crystal of the mom, you were brought back by its power and freed." He said kneeling beside me, "In this life I am not royalty, not at the moment, and we protect the earth. Kunzite something is coming, and we need you. The inner scouts are not strong enough to defeat this, and we need the four high kings."
I nodded listening to his words, surprised to hear of a threat that the inner scouts could not defeat, "Of course, we swore ourselves to you and we will do as you command," I replied as Zoisite groaned in my arms his eyes fluttering open. Looking down I all but smiled as my love began to wake. I could see Endymion back away as Zoisite open his eyes letting me see their beautiful hazel colour. They were calm for a moment before they widened in fear as he tried to bolt, but I carefully wrapped my arms around him and pulled him closer, "Calm love you are safe."
"K-kunzite…? H-how?" He croaked as I smiled and held my hand in front of him summoning a gem flower in the colours of him name sake. He blushed softly and took it as I heard two other groans signalling that the other knights had awoken. They both quickly came over to us as I explained what was happening, all well keeping Zoisite in my arms.
Mamuro's P.O.V
I smiled and left them alone; knowing they needed to talk amongst themselves, and I needed to see my princess. Going over to Haruka I asked, "How is she doing?"
"Asleep, but she is okay. How did they take it?" She asked, and I sighed and explained it to her. I could see the sympathy on her face as Luna marched over to us.
"Your Majesty, Sailor Uranus," She said in her high and mighty voice that she used to belittle and address Usagi, "I hope you know that the inner scouts and I do not agree with this plan. For all we known they could still be evil and were never under Beryl's control. This is a very foolish plan, and you need to stop corrupting Usagi,"
"Hold your tongue," I snapped looking down at the feline, "you were her mother's advisor yes, but that does not make you hers. You have no say in anything that Usagi decides to do. Not only have you destroyed the inner scout's memories, but you have actively tried to turn them against her. I have not said anything until now, because Usagi still loves you, but I am done. You have no say and if you do not stop I will exterminate you. You will not know pain if you continue to test me."
She seemed to genuinely be startled by my words as she actually remained silently as she stormed away from us. "I am glad you finally said something." Haruka stated, "She does not see me as a royal and there for did not respect me, even though I am your equal."
"Luna has been living in the past for far to long. In the silver Millennium Luna was the queens prized advisor, and was able to dictate Usagi's life in the past until the two of you came along and freed our princess," Artemis commented joining us as he laid in Usagi's lap, "Sadly her arrogance is going to get her in trouble real soon. I can still remember that Jadeite was Mar's husband and he will want her back. Luna destroyed most of the girl's memories when she unlocked them or sealed the parts subconsciously she did not like about the past. Luckily that man is as smart as Mercury."
"From what I remember Artemis is correct. Hopefully he will be able to help us correct this," I replied as we fell into silence waiting for Usagi to wake up.
