Choices

Minako collapsed, the prime rule, death to a traitor. She should have never taken this case, now she had three choices.

One, kill Usagi and beg forgiveness to the brotherhood,

Two, wait in the palace for the brotherhood to come and kill everyone she ever loved,

Three, return peacefully to the brotherhood and be sentenced to death in Usagi's place.

There was no doubt about it, Minako would choose option three.

"Come on" Serenity smiled gently, placing her hand on Minako's shoulder,

"What's rule one" Rei asked quizzically, Minako stood up, wiping her tears,

"I have only one choice now" Minako sobbed, walking past the scouts,

"Wait" Kunzite spoke, grabbing onto her hands,

"Tell me what rule 001 is" he spoke gently, she turned and smiled,

"You've all been wonderful, but now I must go" and with that she turned once again and ran up the flight of stairs,

"Ami, I need you to try and find the rule book on the rainbow brotherhood" kunzite spoke up; Ami nodded and immediately pressed her middle earring, which in turn produced the Mercurian super computer.

Meanwhile

Minako ran up the stairs as fast as she could, yet she could feel her body become weaker and weaker, she reached one of her hands to her back and could feel the warm, moist blood drench her shirt, no there was no time for that, she had to keep going.

She turned the corner into the infirmary where she was sure her Katana would be stored, she walked slowly scanning the room for any sign of it. Her eyes began to get weary as the world seemed to spin,

"please don't do this now" she begged her body, but she figured in all honesty she had lost to much blood. Slowly she began to stagger to the bed, not even conscious of her movements she fell on the bed, falling unconscious.

Meanwhile

"here I found it, it appears that rule one is 'death to a traitor'" Ami spoke up while scanning her pocket computer,

"oh no" Makoto responded, shock engulfing her face,

"and guys it gets worse, apparently there are only two choices to escape that rule, either she kills Usagi in 24 hours or she goes back peacefully and gets put to death in Usagi's place" Ami spoke seriously,

"well she said she had to go so I think she's going to" Usagi whispered, nearly brought to tears,

"We have to stop her" Ami responded surely,

"Right" everyone responded in unison.

"Wait she hasn't left" Kunzite smiled, sensing where Mina was.

"What do you mean?" Makoto asked,

"She's in the infirmary, I can sense it … something's not right though" Kunzite responded, closing his eyes so he could concentrate more, then suddenly a distant and peculiar memory struck him.

A few nights ago when he had checked the security system Minako's name came up, but that was the night Indigo…… it couldn't be could it?

Kunzite smiled as he remembered those eyes, yes it could be, it was Minako, his Mina chan.

He scolded himself for not realising it earlier, as everyone ran up to the infirmary, generals, scouts and King and Queen alike.

Once everyone had arrived that gasped as they saw Indigo laying on the bed, unconscious, blood pooling everywhere.

Rei glanced at Usagi, "can you help her" she asked desperately,

"I'll try" Usagi spoke, focusing her power to release the silver crystal, as she walked over to Indigo's lifeless body. Usagi focused and a white, piercing light engulfed the room, everyone lifted their arms to shield their eyes from the blinding light.

After a minute the light subsided and everyone stared intently at Indigo, slowly her eyes were opening, but the blood remained,

"didn't you heal her wounds" Makoto asked with confusion, Usagi turned and looked dumbfounded and with worry,

"I tried" she whispered,

"Thank you" Indigo spoke up amongst all the worried chatter, everyone was immediately silent, as the weak girl propped herself up,

"I have to go now" she smiled, just managing to stand on her feet,

"you don't have to sacrifice yourself for me" Usagi cried, tears falling down her porcelain cheeks onto the ground. Indigo looked in shock as she glanced around the room, every one of the scouts were crying and the three generals and Endymion were cringing,

"Usagi, you saved me from the darkness and for that I'm grateful but I have to do this, you don't know how ruthless they are" Indigo smiled gently, limping to the door.

"Please don't go" Rei whispered,

"we can fight them together" Ami encouraged, Indigo just nodded her head from side to side gently.

"Stop" she could hear her familiar voice call to her, was it her conscious,

"Tell them" it continued, she tried to respond but it wouldn't listen, she stopped and limped back to the bed, sighing.

"I have to make it there but I'm to weak" Minako sighed hopelessly,

"You don't have to go there alone" a voice responded in the crowd, Minako looked intently and the scouts stepped aside to make way for Kunzite,

"its good go see you" he smiled once he could see Minako's face, she looked at him dumbfounded,

"I believe this is yours" he said reaching into his pocket and pulling out the Venusian Transformation wand, throwing it in the air for Minako to catch,

"What?" Usagi gasped

"It can't be" Rei whispered, along with Makoto, Ami and the generals, Minako caught it in one swift movement, smirking.

"How'd you know" she asked mischievously, he just gave her a small wink,

"Is it you Mina chan?" Usagi asked sobbing,

"I told you, you save me Usagi Chan" Mina smiled standing up from the bed, raising the wand into the air,

"VENUS CRYSTAL POWER MAKEUP" she yelled, and in a flourish of stars she transformed into the legendary Sailor Soldier of Love and Beauty, her long radiant blonde hair restored in its famous red bow, and her uniform shone even more brilliantly, and her wound to her back was healed…. She was back!

"Mina" Usagi sobbed, bounding towards her, hugging her around the waist, Mina chuckled as she hugged her queen, but most of all her friend in return. Mina looked up at the other scouts who stared back at her full of mixed emotions,
"hey guys" she smiled, which set off everyone's waterworks, everyone ran over to Mina and hugged her, Mina smiled happily.
