Pandora's Box
"Artemis" everyone called in relief, holding a hope that he could help,
"You know as well as I do Mabus why Selenity prohibited the union" Artemis shot back, striding ever confidently to where Venus stood,
"Because she didn't want her best friend to be happy" Red sneered,
"Unlikely, the union went a little deeper than that" Artemis, now directly adjacent Red's throne stared directly at his counterpart.
"What are you talking about Artemis" Usagi asked, still trapped in her sphere, Artemis looked up and started to speak,
"It's the hearts of Venus and Saturn, they hold ..." Artemis began to speak,
"Silence!" Red yelled furiously,
"You have no idea what your talking about" he finished, he lifted his hand and aimed it at Artemis, sending bolts of black lightening directly at Artemis, who flew back in agony on contact.
"Stop please, stop" Usagi cried, Red looked up and smiled,
"Once Mina opens the box I promise I will" he spoke coyly, when suddenly everyone heard a voice yell out,
"No Mina don't", it was Hotaru.
Everyone looked curiously, everyone knew that Mina shouldn't open the box somewhere, but Hotaru spoke with an evident knowledge,
"why shouldn't she" Rei asked curiously, Hotaru looked fiercely at the Martian scout with an evident worry,
"It's Pandora's box" she sighed.
"What?" Makoto asked confusedly,
"Pandora's box, it is the sacred chalice of the kingdom of Saturn, greater than the power of the Holy Grail, except that unlike the Holy Grail it holds quite the opposite, the power of death, the true power of Saturn"
Mina looked around in a haze, she couldn't hear anything but the sound of her own heart beating,
"Open it Mina" Red whispered in her ear, like a zombie she reached her hand down to the intricate chest,
"Mina don't" Artemis groaned, Mina barely heard it, swinging her head in the direction where the voice came from, there she saw a battered and bruised Artemis, she cocked her head in confusion.
"Please Mina" he begged, "it's not who you are" he continued coarsely
"She's to far gone for that old man" Red sneered; Mina looked down to the box and opened it.
"Mina!" everyone cried out as a bright purple light filled the realm, Mina looked on curiously as she saw the contents of the box, a transformation wand.
Carefully she took it from the box and
held it in her hands,
"Mina listen to me, you don't want to
do this" Hotaru cried,
"Mina please, drop the wand" Kunzite cried,
"Don't do this Mina, please" Rei and Makoto cried together, she looked around and strangely could not recognize these voices calling to her, who were these people?
"Who are you people" she asked innocently,
"what do you mean who are we" Haruka yelled in anger,
"They are no one my queen, I am your loyal advisor Mabus and you are the Queen to the throne of Saturn, please lift the wand and yell Saturn Revolution Make- up!" Red coaxed gently to the girl standing before her,
"Ok" Mina spoke unsurely, lifting the wand above her head she yelled the words as everyone gasped in shock, after a minute there stood Mina in a senshi uniform.
Everyone looked on in astonishment, Mina wore thigh high, purple boots with an orange string lacing them up, her skirt was night black, fearfully so, as was the rest of her uniform except her bow which was purple. Her hair was now ebony black except for a long gold strand that reached from her forehead down to the very tip of her hair, her tiara held a black stone.
"My queen" Mabus bowed, Mina shot him an intense glare, she felt so different, she felt cold,
"Mina?" Usagi squeaked, Mina shot her head up and looked at the girl in the sphere,
"I believe you are mistaken, my name is Miadora, Queen to the realm of Saturn"
"Can't you do something Pluto" Michiru asked hopefully,
"I'm afraid not, I can't use the power of time here, it doesn't seem to exist" Pluto looked worriedly back at Neptune,
"How is that possible" Haruka asked,
"I don't think we're on earth anymore" Pluto shot a worried glance at her counterpart.
