Chapter 10 – Live by the rules, die by the rules….

"Hotaru, is that you" Mina whispered, tears dripping slowly out of her eyes, falling on her orange tunic top. Hotaru looked quizzically at the woman, then smiled,

"Indigo sama, thank you so much for saving chibi-usa sama, Serenity sama and Endymion sama" Hotaru lit up as she ran over to Mina and threw her arms around her.

Mina couldn't help but smile in the agony she was feeling, her back was still raw but for the most part she was in a state of shock, this was Hotaru… but how could that be?

"You're awake" Mina questioned as she held the teenage girl back,

"What do you mean?" Hotaru asked, stepping back, releasing Mina from the painful grip,

"You were in a coma..." Mina confirmed,

"Indigo sama I think you are mistaken, I was never in a coma, in all my life…" Hotaru looked at Indigo with confusion,

"Don't lie to me Hotaru" Mina's voice became fervent, even angry,

"But I'm not lying Indigo sama, I've never been in a coma" Hotaru responded firmly.

Suddenly Mina could see several images floating around in her head, she was tied up on a chair in a large, marble room, a man was standing in front of her yelling "it was your fault, you didn't get to her in time, it's all your fault" over and over again.

Mina yelled in frustration, she had to make it stop, she turned around and bolted out the door, heading anywhere her feet would take her, leaving a dumbfounded Hotaru in her stead.

Mina kept running, what was happening to her?? Tears flung from her eyes but Mina didn't care, it wasn't about where she was going as long as she could outrun that feeling.

"Don't outrun it Mina, it's time you faced the truth" she could hear her own voice call to her, but more like the voice she used to have as Sailor Venus,

"What truth" she yelled out,

"Beware the glaive, it is not your destiny..." the voice trailed off to a near whisper.

Suddenly Mina could feel the contact of another body, which she had run into,

"Hey watch where…" the voice trailed off then came to an abrupt holt, Mina looked up to see those familiar silver eyes…..

She quickly wiped her tears away as she glanced over the rugged physique before her, Kunzite was dressed in his familiar silver uniform with blue trimming and black boots, his hair flickered in the slight breeze, Mina sighed.. it was so good to see him.

Kunzite looked at the girl before him, this was the girl that had saved his King and Queens's life, he knew he was in her debt, but there was something strangely familiar about her. Those eyes, those crystal blue eyes, the eyes that told him everything would be ok…… it couldn't be could it?

Mina couldn't help it, she ran over to him and hugged him,

"Kunzy I'm so scared" she sobbed in his chest, normally he would have pushed the girl away, there was only one he was committed to, but could she be Mina?

He wrapped his hands around her, being careful not to touch her back,

"What's the matter?" he asked softly, and in that split instant Mina knew it was time to stop hiding, there were some things that just needed to be faced in life.

She opened her mouth, ready to confess her Identity when she felt it, a tingle right up her spine.

That could only mean one thing…. One of the rainbow brotherhood was here!.

She turned to Kunzite with a fierce look,

"where's my gun?" she asked,

"It's in your room, I put it in one of the draws" Kunzite replied distrustfully,

"Hurry, they're here" Mina yelled as she started running back to the infirmary,

"Who's here?" Kunzite asked,

"Just get to Serenity!" Mina yelled as she turned into her room, she ran to her drawer and grabbed it, yanking the draw three quarters out. There she could see her two browning guns, relief washed over her immediately as she grabbed both of them and ran back out the room and to the top of the staircase.

Instead of running down the two flights of stairs, Mina jumped off the railing, landing on her feet just at the bottom of the stairs, then she turned left, starting to run again, if Mina knew anything Usagi would be in the Conference room and sure enough as she approached the open doors of the conference room, she could see everyone talking while sitting on the round table.

Mina ran right into the room, everyone started staring at her,
"Serenity get up, we have to get to the throne room" she commanded, she could see everyone apprehensive, all staring at her guns,

"Look I'm trying to save your life, get to the throne room please" she begged, she could see everyone turn to Kunzite who was on her left, who gave a small nod of approval. Serenity got up, with Endymion, the scouts and the generals and they all started to run past her, Kunzite was the last, Mina couldn't help but smile. Finally she was doing what she was meant to do.

Mina followed everyone into the Throne room, and then commanded the royal guards to close the doors. The throne room was enormous; it was made of crystal, with a long golden carpet that went straight to two large thrones, also made of crystal, Mina stared above at the very top of the enormous walls, decorated with shapely architecture, good no windows.

"Ok everyone, transform and get around Serenity" Mina turned and commanded, which they proceeded to do,

"Mercury Crystal Power!"

"Mars Crystal Power!"

"Jupiter Crystal Power!"

"Moon Eternal Power!"

"MAKEUP!" they all yelled and in an instant they were all transformed into the legendary warriors.

"Ok now join hands and make a shield" Minako spoke as she cocked her gun in preparation, standing in front of the group as they built up their energy and made the shield,

"What about you!" Jupiter cried out as she saw Indigo stand out front,

"Don't you worry bout me jupy" Mina responded lightly back, then she felt it again, another tingle, there was only one way to get out of this,

"DASVIDANYA MUETRE!" she yelled out at the top of her lungs,

"Oh really" a familiar voice taunted, Mina scanned the room, it was Green, suddenly from behind the throne stepped a woman dressed in a long, forest green dress, with short green hair.

"Indigo, Indigo, Indigo, really I'm disappointed in you" the voice laughed,

"Oh really and why is that" Mina snapped,

"Betraying us for these people" the voice responded, seemingly disgusted,

"What are you talking about; I still have three days left" Mina spoke, her voice laced with venom.

"Yeah that's the thing, after that little stunt you pulled on TV, Red sent me to finish the job, but first he thought I ought to give you a message" the voice taunted, walking slowly to Mina,

"And what would that be" Mina hissed,

"Rule 001" the woman whispered in Mina's ear, and then in a flash of green disappeared into thin air,

"what's rule 001?" Kunzite asked, placing one of his hands on her shoulder, Mina stared into nothingness,

"you don't want to know" she whispered.
