Chapter 6 – Round two. Nabiki x JadeiteAt Juuban general hospital, Ranko is so worried about her daughter, that she was about to dash out of the hospital, when she senses her daughter and the other senshis approaching. Her relief is short lived, because once she sees her daughter and take a look at her child's tired face.
Not just her daughter, but the look on Ami is also mirrored on the others. When Kodachi and Shampoo get in next carrying two unconscious women she dash to their position to check over them.
Seeing that for now their only problem is that they fainted by lack of energy, she guide them through the halls to a place were they can be observed. Then to the astonishment of everyone she order Usagi to lie down too.
"But auntie…"
"No buts young lady, you're almost at critical point. I saw the lasts remains of the restoration spell that you cast over them; and it took a huge chunk out of your energy, besides your parents are on the way here." Ranko says
"Correction Ranko-chan we're already here." Yuka says as she gets on the room.
"When did you learn to teleport?" Ranko asks
"We didn't, we just took the Nerima's patented shortcut." Daisuke says as he too gets on the room.
"Usagi-chan if I may say a word of advice." Ami says
"Sure. Go ahead Ami-chan." Usagi says
"When mom do tells you to do something. You do it. Besides if I know your parents they're in deep overprotection mode." Ami says
"Definitely, and you young lady you'll climb on this bad over here and take a good rest." Yuka orders
Seeing no other exit Usagi obeys, and as soon as her head hit the pillow she's dead asleep. "Ok Akane who did you faced to take my girl so out of it?" Daisuke asks
"It was Hinako and the freak. The freak turned Miss Hinako in some sort of monster. For a bit we got through the spell and Miss Hinako recovered her senses…. But somehow the freak worsened the situation and turned Miss Hinako into a soul eater. But it wasn't the battle that weakened Usagi-chan so much, it was the healing spell that she has cast over those two there." Ami explains
"If the freak is on free and allied with the dark forces then I must step the training. Dai-kun, Yuka-chan, do you mind it if Usagi skip school for the rest of the year?" Ranko asks
"Not at all Ranko-chan. Sure if the situation were different I'd be against it, but since it's against the freak, go ahead. But expect a lot more students, as I, my husband, my son, Sayuri, Hiroshi, they're daughter Mika will be joining as well." Yuka says
"Then meet us at the Hikawa Shrine tomorrow morning, great grand mother will get all of you in shape in no time." Shampoo says
On the following day Nabiki was about to get back home when she remember that she left something undone at the teacher's lounge. As she enters it she comes face to face with a men that a millenniums she doesn't see, and besides him a Youma.
"Well, well, well Jadeite from the royal family of Atlantis, cousin of Endymion; long time no see." Nabiki says as she assumes a relaxed battle stance.
"Who are you? How do you know such a forgotten fact?" Jadeite asks
"I could tell you, but you can't afford it, much less has the guts to do it. After all if Metallia did brainwash you why should I lose my time with you." Nabiki literally sneers on his face
"Woman you tell me now or you're going to suffer." He warns
"You and whose army is going to do it? This little imp besides you doesn't stand a chance against me, so don't make my laugh" Nabiki said and infuriate the Youma. As the Youma is about to blast Nabiki, Nabiki in the blink of an eye is behind the Youma.
Then ice start to form, the Youma scream as every ATOM of its body is frozen, shortly before innumerous cracks appear on it. Then the Youma blew into innumerous pieces.
Jadeite is utterly shocked by such display of speed and power. Then it hit him. "The only person with such attack is the Ice Queen of Mercury." He says as fear and respect sprang to life on his shadowed heart.
"Glad to see that you remember, Ja-chan. Oh by the way my husband is also back, so I'd think twice before attempting anything funny." Nabiki warns
Jadeite is truly sweating cold, as re remembers that only Metallia is a match for her husband, and that they got him millenniums ago thanks to a stupid fluke. 'I guess a strategic retreat is in order' he's about to teleport when he hears the Ice Queen whispering on his ear.
"Going somewhere Ja-chan?" This literally froze Jadeite on the spot as he feels her behind him, and the lightly hits on his back. 'I'm doomed and dead, no way I am going to get out of here alive… In this case I'm going to fight to the end as my beloved…beloved… Why can't I remember? I know that I loved… Love… Love is a weakness' with a jerk Jadeite start to fight Nabiki, but she can literally see his mind beginning to struggle against the darkness control.
'Hmm it seems that I stuck a cord; let's see if I can help the good side wins against the dark one. MERCURY MIST OF ILLUSION' as Jadeite take his eyes of her while frantically dodging a round hound kick, he fail to see the ice mist that she unleash from her hand straight on his face.
Then he sees him self back at his ancestral home. "What a hell?" he says as he sees a man pacing back and forth on the living room, then suddenly at hearing the cry of an infant the man dash out of the living room and into a bedroom.
Puzzled Jadeite follows and when he gets there he sees a woman of long blond hair holding an infant as she presents the little one to the man.
"Oh John look we have a baby, we have a little boy. How should we call him dear?"
"Thank you my wife, thank you and the gods for this boon. From now on his name will be Jadeite…" the man John says
"What? It can't be…" Jadeite yells then the world blurs, and suddenly his mind is assaulted with thousands of images and memories of his infant years. "Dad… Mommy… I'll make you proud of me by winning in my queens name." Then he starts to see his life all over again, but this time from an outside point of view.
Then come the time of his adulthood, and he's puzzled by seeing himself bowing to another queen as well as a king, followed by his oath to Endymion. He sees the other generals, the adventures with Endymion, the meeting with the Royal Families, and how he fell for the little black hair pyro; He sees as Queen Beryl referred by these people as countess Beryl fall deep and deep with envy and jealously.
"It can't be… These memories can't be real…" Then he remember the day of the dinner on Beryl's mansion, strangely enough he now can feel the difference between his past self and him self now; thanks to it he feels the dark energy on the food, and the image of his queen under a mask of innocence.
After that he sees and remembers the nightmares, the FAKE hints spread to him and his friends, the murdering of his parents by a Youma, the attack on the royal palace, and the subsequent strike against the moon.
'No impossible, it can't be….*it is* who…'
'First General of Atlantis, Jadeite at your service… Youma' An literal copy of himself speak back, but his clone wears all white version of his uniform
'What a heck do you mean by Youma, you… you are the Youma… you're the one that is telling all of these lies' Dark Jadeite said
'Why should I lie for some thing that it's true. You are the one that caged me in shadows for all of these millenniums, I can't thank the Mercury Queen enough … and talking about enough it's time to cease this bunter and put you in the cage.' White Jadeite said
'*sneer* like a sissy like you can bring it on punk' Dark Jadeite retort
With that both start fighting for supremacy, while on the real world Nabiki just encase him in a ice coffin and start to erect wards all over it. Then she get a dolly and haul him out of there.
A bit latter a black gate opens where they had been and Happosai appear and look at the Youma ashes, then at where Nabiki had gone. "Well granddaughter this makes good guys 1 bad guys 1. *sigh* the round finished in a draw, we got a good chunk of energy, and paid it by losing an important peace… *snicker* guess I just go a promotion thanks a lot granddaughter." He cackle for a while before exiting the building and head for the nearest public bath.
Once there he duck in a alley before summoning a Youma. "What is your biding master?" The Youma asked
"Go in there and replace the clerk, also you are to replace every single soap bar in there with yours, so that when the fools go in there to bath you are to absorb their energy."
"It shall be done master"
"Two more things; one you are to absorb only a fraction of they life force. This is to not attract Hermes attention or the attention of his wife and Brat; two *snicker* try to give subtle hints to the more beautiful ladies to… *evil smile* attend the needs of an *snicker* old man. So for each ten ladies that comes to me I'll let you have one." Happosai said
"You are too kind master." The Youma said before morphing into a human and proceed to do as its master ordered
'This is one down four hundred to go… *hi! Hi!* They are always looking for huge energy drains, with this I can play with them, make the other generals kill themselves fighting the good guys while I conquer the Negaverse.'
While Happosai went to find and subjugate other public baths, Nabiki reach the Hikawa shrine stairs and immediately look around to see if anyone is looking before she start using her powers to create a ice ramp so that the dolly can move smoothly.
She barely got moving when she sees Ami, Makoto and Rei dashing down the stairs and stopping near her.
"Hey auntie do you need a hand with this?" Rei asked
"I'd appreciate it girls, if you don't mind, this thing here isn't getting lighter." Nabiki responded
"Don't worry mom in no time will get it up there." Makoto said
"So Ami-chan how is the training with the Tsukinos coming along?" Nabiki asked
"Yuka-can and Daisuke-kun are a bit rusty but one more week and they will be where Ukyo was at the failing wedding attempt. Usagi is slowly coming along thanks to her memories of Serenity, but it still needs lots and lots of improvement." Ami said as she and the others are pushing the ice coffin up the stairs.
"That's an understatement. I still don't understand how Selen don't lose her patience with Usagi. Frankly how did she ever manage to make Usagi listen and understand the principles is beyond me" Luna said as she approach
"Ranma always had a knack to understand and to communicate with kids, same goes for Hermes and Selen. Don't worry Luna by the end of the year Usagi will be a black belt tenth Dan in at last 5 different styles with the main one being drunk fu." Nabiki said
"Drunken Fu… I can see it happening as her actual movements reassemble it. But I hope that she can pull it without actually drinking alcohol." Rei said
"Trust your aunt dear, trust her to make the impossible happen and make it look like some thing easy to do" Nabiki said smirking
