"I hope you're right Yugi. This really is torture" and with that he walks back out to find Usagi in the room as well. She sits next to her sister who is still in her pajamas, and they are talking animatedly.
"Hello again, Usagi-chan. I trust you are well? Krystal was very sick last night, so I just want to be sure." Yugi asks with a small smile on his face as he sits down on the chair adjacent to them. Usagi merely waves and nods her head a little, to confirm she's okay, still deep in conversation with her twin.
"Huh, why do think they're speaking Russian Yugi? I know their father from the moon kingdom was part Russian." Atem asked quizzically as he hovered near them, trying to remember the language.
"Maybe they're talking about something they don't want us to know about. Krystal is holding some kind of Egyptian samurai sword. I have never seen anything like it." Atem touches the sword looking kind of reminiscent of days long gone.
"I have. That is the sacred sword of the blue moon legacy. It's been passed down to every blue moon senshi since the beginning of time. Krystal would have stood with me and wielded that sword against Zork, But I wouldn't let her. She was 8 months pregnant when I went to battle. I couldn't risk losing her and my only son. Unfortunately, they both died anyway. Marik was stillborn, and after Krystal heard of my death, she poisoned herself with our pet snake Anubis. I couldn't save them, no matter how hard I tried. I failed you my blue moon princess. *Kisses her lips softly*" Yugi looks at him sadly, trying to offer comfort, but is at a loss for words, unable to see Krystal as anything other than the strong woman she is now. Yugi tried to smile a little at him in an attempt to brighten his mood, but to no avail.
"What was Usagi-Chan like in silver millennium? Was she anything like she is now?" Atem smiled back at him a little, and then sat next to him on the arm of the chair.
"Yes, she was much like she is now, though she had a betrothed then. His name was Endymion and he was the prince of earth. She loved him dearly. I hope she finds him soon." Yugi smiled wider at him and before they knew it, Krystal and Usagi were ready to go.
"Yugi, if Setty comes back, tell him I am alright. Usagi-Chan and I have some very important business to attend to." She smiles at him and he nods his head, smiling back at her.
"Yes, Krystal. I will do that. *phases to Atem and he kisses her passionately* Be safe My blue Moon Princess. I'll be watching over you from the shadows. If you need me just say my name. I'll come for you." He smiles at her and gives her a blue rose shaped locket, putting it around her neck as he kisses her head.
"This will keep you safe; I charmed it with very strong magic. *gives a pink one to Usagi* I couldn't forget my favorite sister. Now you both will always be safe. I made it so even when you are not wearing it the magic still keeps you safe." The moon twins both smile widely and kiss either side of his face as a thank you, then walk to the door.
"See you in a little while Atem. This blue moon princess has some negaverse ass to kick." With that, she smirks at him and the two girls disappear, landing right at the cruise ship, where mercury and mars await Usagi.
"Who's this?"Rei asks quizzically as she walks over to the boat, her beautiful red dress swaying with her long black hair. Usagi explains who Krystal is and Rei smiles a bit.
"Welcome to the team Krystal-Chan. Maybe you can talk some sense into your twin."Krystal smiles at that and quickly changes her appearance, her dress now a long flowing blue ball gown.
"Possibly Rei, but unlikely. Usagi-Chan lives by the beat of her own drum" she replies with a small laugh as she flips her hair and walks up onto the boat, admiring its beauty. She could feel the dark energy surrounding her, but she smirked widely, anticipating an epic battle.
"This is going to be fun." She said with another smirk, as she lead Usagi to their table to eat. The dinner was a classic American staple, steak and potatoes, one of Krystal's favorite meals. She looked a little sad as she ate it though, good memories with her friends Kanou and Eyes going through her mind. Eyes was an amazing cook and pianist. He was world renowned.
"It was so tragic how you died my friend, but I promise when I become all powerful, I'll revive you." She thought to herself as she finished her dinner.
"Penguin, why do you look so sad? I thought you would enjoy this dinner, it's an American staple isn't it?" Usagi asked concerned as she finished her dinner as well.
Krystal smiles at her sister and shakes her head a little, trying to deny it. "No, I'm not sad bunny. I'm just remembering good memories with friends who have since passed. I'll tell you about it later, okay bunny? Focus on the mission." Usagi nods her head and smiles back, hoping to hear the story later, but knowing keeping people safe was their first priority.
The clocked struck eight, and that's when Titus and Jadeite made their move.
"Good people of this cruise, It's time for the special entertainment of the night, Me!" Titus changed into a monster and drained everyone's energy, only Ami and Rei left visibly standing. They swiftly transformed and destroyed Jadeites mud minions. Titus simply laughed, thinking that they were no match for her, but then Usagi appeared as sailor moon. Titus lunged for her throat, but Krystal swiftly destroyed her with her "Eternal blue moon shadow scepter." Jadeite simply looked on in horror, and was about to escape, when Krystal traps him in gold.
"Not so fast old friend. I still haven't had my fun." She says with an evil smirk, challenging him. Krystal lowers her scepter as it transforms into a sword, and she smirks even wider.
"Draw!" was all she yelled before she lunged for him, the gold dissolving so he can fight. The two of them shared a heated battle, until Krystal began to glow a little, her dragon rah appearing behind her.
"Blue moon phoenix's icy typhoon!" she yelled, and jadeite turned to ice, and then was melted by a giant blue fire twister. They had won this day, or so it seemed until Nephrite appeared in front of them, flabbergasted.
"Who are you? How could you kill a negaverse general in one blow? I'll have your head for this!" He yelled, looking every bit as dumb as he was in silver millennium.
"At least he's a decent fighter" she thought to herself as he lunged at her. Krystal dodged, and cut his arm with her sword, smirking wickedly.
"Don't think I'm going to go easy on you just because we used to be friends, shitennou Nephrite." She said with a wicked smirk, as Zoicite appears to watch, laughing hysterically as he tended to do.
"Ha ha ha! Looks like you're being beaten by a girl half your size! Very, amusing Nephrite! I'll be sure to put that in your eulogy my friend!" he cackled, just watching the scene unfold and not doing anything to help.
"Back off!" Nephrite growled, focusing on the battle at hand but falling short . Krystal cut his other arm and then smirked, as chaos (her other guardian spirit) appeared behind her.
"Blue moon crystal blood bath!" she yelled, signaling Usagi to close her eyes as Nephrite froze and then exploded into millions of small, red icy pieces. Zoicite clapped for Krystal, still laughing hysterically.
"Good show, Sailor blue moon! It's no wonder our queen wants you on her side. You truly are ruthless." He says with a wicked smirk similar to Krystal's. Still in the mood for a fight, Krystal looks at him challengingly, white hot flame burning in her eyes.
"You want to be next?" she asked nonchalantly, pointing her sword at his throat, her evil smirk widening. Zoicite simply gulps a little and looks afraid, disappearing in a tornado of pink rose petals.
"Guess not. So, how did I do? Did I prove my worth sailors?" she asked with a normal smile, floating down to the floor and phasing back to normal.
"I have to say though, I haven't had that much fun in millennia's. It's safe to open your eyes now, sissy." She says as she walks over to Usagi, putting a hand on her shoulder. She smiles at her sister as she opens her eyes, hugging her tightly.
"Let's go back to my place. It's time for bed. Don't worry, I already cleared it with Mama Ikuko. You two are welcome to stay as well. There's plenty of room at my penthouse. It'll be a sleep over! Good thing's tomorrow's Sunday. You can call your families when we get there." Krystal says with a wide smile, popping them back to her penthouse, where Atem is waiting for her.
"Hello my blue moon princess. I'm so relieved to see you're okay. *kisses her head* Princess Mars, Princess Mercury, good to see you again. It's been a long time." Atem says with a small smile, as Ami picks up the phone to call her mom at the hospital.
Rei smiles at him cordially, but isn't sure how he knew she was princess of mars. "How do you know who I am?" she asks curiously as Krystal makes cocoa for everyone.
"I'm sorry princess Mars, I have forgotten to introduce myself. *bows to her respectfully* I am Atem, Former Pharaoh of Egypt and Krystal's Former lover from silver millennium."
Rei looked at him and smiled, slight memories of him returning. "Good to see you again then."She said, still unsure but going with the flow. Krystal then came over with a huge tray filled with a bowl of mini marshmallows, 5 cups of cocoa, 5 spoons, and a smallish pitcher of milk.
"Cocoa anyone?" she asked cheerfully as she set the tray down on the coffee table, smiling happily. She sat in between Atem and Usagi, taking a cup of cocoa and sipping it, the warmth of the cup helping to warm her cold body. When Ami returned, Rei went to call her grandfather and everything was going smoothly. She handed a cup of cocoa to Ami and smiled, hoping to make friends with the two girls. Krystal had never really gotten along with girls. The boys flocked to her like sheep, but girl's writ her off as a slut. She wished that would change as she sipped her cocoa.
"Aah, this warms me up. I can feel the ice in my veins melting a little." Krystal said with a happy smile as she took another sip of her cocoa. Today Krystal was feeling happy. She had wonderful friends, a handsome and sweet boyfriend, twins on the way, and she found her Atem. Life was good, and she hoped it would get even better as time went on. Krystal pushed the hair out of her face and took another sip of her cocoa, happy to have such wonderful people surrounding her. The loneliness was subsiding.
Krystal looked to her sister and smiled, wondering what to do next. She sensed something coming her way, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Was it Seto? Was it someone else? She knew it was someone from her past, but she wasn't sure who. Then the energy hit her like a ten ton brick. "Kakarot" she murmured softly, looking to her sister again and wondering if her old boyfriend Vegeta would be with him. They had always been close friends, so maybe he would be. Krystal went into her bedroom and changed back into her pjs, bringing some for Usagi, Rei and Ami. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Yes, is this the house of Krystal Kobayashi? Mrs. Tsukino said that Usagi would be here." said the tall spiky haired boy with an orange gi on. Krystal couldn't help but hug the man in question, pushing him to the floor with no effort at all.
"Kakarot! its been way to long!" she exclaims, pulling him into the penthouse and smiling widely, so happy to see him, but a little sad his seiyan prince friend didn't come too.
"Usagi-Chan! Look who's come for a visit! Kakarot!" she said, bouncing around happily as Atem scowls a little. He was hoping the seiyans wouldn't show up again, especially since Krystal used to be engaged to their prince in silver millennium.
"Hello Kakarot" Atem simply said, a small scowl on his face. The man in question looked a little confused. He didn't know what the heck they were talking about. He thought his name was Goku, not Kakarot. Goku sat next to Usagi and put his arm around her, kissing her head.
"I don't know why you keep calling me Kakarot. My name is Goku." he simply said, effortlessly pulling Usagi into his lap. Krystal smiled at the couple, happy to see Kakarot got a chance with her sister in this life. In silver millennium, she had been all about Endymion, so he had never had a chance. She knew how much the young Seiyan loved Usagi, so it was good to see them together. She wondered where Vegeta was though, because where Kakarot went, Vegeta was sure to follow.
"Because that's your name. Its your seiyan name. Don't you remember?" Krystal asked, looking at Goku curiously. She wondered why he didn't remember. It seemed like just yesterday that Vegeta and Atem were in a heated battle for her heart. Just then, something flew by the window, and Krystal smiled even wider than she had ever in her life. "The prince has arrived" she said more to herself than anyone and then she disappeared, transforming purposely into her princess dress.
"So, you've finally come. Took you long enough Vegeta. I've been waiting around 5 millennia's to see you again my friend." she said with a smile as her walked out of the pod. He didn't look like he recognizes her, but that was alright. She knew exactly what to do. She kissed him, right then and there, giving him memories of them being together. She could see the slight recognition crossing his face, but he didn't look super happy too be kissing her.
"Don't even try it, Vegeta. I'll kick your ass and you know I can too." she said with a laugh, seeing his plan to conquer earth. That was the pure seiyan blood running through his veins. Conquest and violence was what they did best, and he was the best of the best. As prince, it was his job to uphold his father's legacy of destruction and conquest. Kakarot too, but it appeared he did not remember his seiyan roots. Though he was not royal, he was just very strong. She couldn't wait to see him fight again. There was such an art to the way the two of them fought. She missed it.
"Come on, lets go back to my house. Kakarot's there. He doesn't remember anything though. I'm working on it. Oh, but try not to get in a fight with Atem again okay? My place isn't properly warded for seiyan magic at the present." she said, taking his hand and popping to her penthouse.
"Look who I found!" she said happily, gesturing for him to sit down in the chair. Krystal'd sit on his lap if she had too, she didn't need Vegeta and Atem wrecking her house.
Atem scowl became wider as he watched Krystal sit with the seiyan prince. "Not again. Not him. That dirty rotten seiyan brut." he thought to himself, as Yugi looks at him concerned, not exactly sure what's going on, but assuming it had something to do with the past.
"What's wrong now Yami?" he asked, genuinely curious. He wanted to about the pharaoh's life, and it seemed like it was quite the triangle so far. Yugi didn't know exactly what was happening, but judging by the scowl on his friend's face, it must be pretty bad.
Atem sighed, and then began to explain about how Krystal was once betrothed to the one whose lap she was now sitting in. Yugi listened in awe, it was so weird. He could see Krystal with someone who was violent (but not to her) but it didn't seem quite right. He wondered why they broke up.
Vegeta seemed pretty contented to have the smaller but very curvy teenager with him, as there was a smirk of sorts on his usually stoic face. It was almost to say "I win." Though what Vegeta didn't know was that she was only sitting there too prevent a fight, knowing full well it would be he who started it, as it always was in the past.
Krystal sensed a fight coming on, she just wasn't sure with who. she looked around the room, wondering who could possibly start the fight. Usually it was Vegeta, but she had him subdued by sitting on his lap. Kakarot and Seto? Possibly, though that would break her heart because that would mean that Seto didn't love her anymore. He had promised her forever. She knew that he was destined to fall in love with her twin, but still it would hurt. She loved him, and she knew that she had two sweet little babies on the way, his babies.
"Oh Setty, don't stop loving me yet" she whispered as he came in the door. he saw her in the Vegeta's lap and sadness crossed his also usually stoic face. he walked over to her and kissed he, and Krystal kissed back. Vegeta looked far from pleased. In fact, he looked quite jealous.
"What are you doing kissing my blue moon princess?" he said sort of angrily, his voice just slightly raised. Krystal could foresee what would come next, and she didn't like it one bit. Seto would be seriously hurt or worse, he could die. Vegeta was ten times as strong as Seto.
