Chapter Five

Fire

Fire. That was all they saw. Red and yellow flames devouring the building. All watched in terror, too afraid to get close, but all wishing desperately for someone, anyone, to go in there and save the people everyone knew and admired so much.

Lady Beryl. The kind and compassionate pub owner, who always had a place in her heart for everyone who needed her help.

Little Samuel. The small boy who always kept everyone laughing, even on their worst days, with his adorable behavior.

And, of course, the beautiful Serena. Although her real name was Serenity, everyone preferred to call her Serena, as it made them feel as if they were talking more to a normal person, and not to the princess everyone knew she must be. With her heart, bigger than even Lady Beryl's, her never-ending kindness, her beauty, her grace...the list could keep on going for ever. Everyone watching, pretty much everyone in the town, felt waves of despair at the thought of losing such wonderful people.

Endymion wouldn't stop running. He couldn't. He could hear the five people and cat behind him, shouting for him to slow down, to stop and wait for them, to at least think about what they knew he was doing. But he couldn't. He couldn't just amble over to the pub, and watch indifferently as the byproduct of Hell itself, fire, destroyed her. He couldn't let her die; he wasn't going to fail her again. Ever. He would save her, somehow, and make her remember him. No matter how long it took, she was going to remember everything, by God! And he was going to have his angel back again. He closed his eyes for only a moment, and smiled at the thought of being wrapped in her soft arms again. Coming to his senses, he ran even faster, over the grassy fields and into the town, down rocky road and across the small, but friendly, yards of his subjects. He would make it to her in time. He had to. He couldn't lose her.

He gasped as he reached the crowd. He couldn't believe the fire had gotten this bad already. It just couldn't be happening. It didn't register when he felt Jadeite's hand on his shoulder, or when the man offered heat-felt words of sympathy. All he knew was in angel was in trouble, and she needed him, probably as much as he needed her. He pushed his way through the crowd, and stared only a moment at the beautiful, deadly specter before running straight for it.

Jadeite stared in disbelief as he and the four women neared the fire. It was so beautiful, so breath-taking...so horrible. He knew his wife's best friend was in there, doomed, maybe even dead by now. As much as he hated to admit it, he knew there was no hope: Serenity, the girl who was so much like a sister to him, was going to die. He felt like falling to the ground and crying, but he knew he couldn't; his Prince needed him. Walking to the man, Jadeite noticed he seemed to be in shock. He placed a comforting hand on his shoulder in said in the best voice he could muster, "I'm so sorry, my friend. I wish this wasn't how it would end."

Endymion still seem to not even notice him, and suddenly began making his way through the awestruck crowd, some of whom recognized him. But Jadeite knew his friend wasn't even paying attention. He knew in his heart he would have done the same thing, had it been Raye in there. He would have forgotten completely about himself, and done everything in his power to save her. He wanted so badly to run after his friend, to at least try to talk some sense into him, but something on his shoulder stopped him. He looked into the eyes of Amara, for a moment afraid that she was about to attack him.

Instead, she smiled sadly to the man, and said in a quiet voice, "there is nothing we can do, my friend. He has made up his mind. All we can do is pray for a miracle."

A miracle, he thought. No, not a miracle. Four of them. Raye, Pyro, we could really use your help right now.

Raye sat in the library, laughing at Mina's antics. 'That woman has not changed at all in the past thousand years,' she thought to herself. Neither had she, or Amy, or Lita for that matter. She was still as fiery-tempered as ever, Amy still as much of a bookworm, and Lita still an amazing cook. Neither had their loves changed, either. They were still the same as the day they met, still so wonderfully perfect, each in their own way. She thought of Jadeite, and smiled as she timidly ran a hand across her stomach. Not much longer, and she would show. And he would be so happy. They would be a family again. Something struck her heart, and she opened her mind to him, only to hear him call her desperately, needing her help. Answering his call, she found what was wrong, and in a way wished she hadn't. Her best friend Serenity was found, but was about to die. The Sailor Senshi were needed once again. She sighed, and looked at the other three, who were watching her curiously. "Girls," she said, standing up, "it seems we have a princess to save."

Endymion could feel the sweat dripping off his body. It was so hot inside. He was just inside the stairway leading to the top floor, and already he felt as if he were trapped in the middle of an oven. He went to move forward, when his cape snagged on something. He looked behind him, and saw that it was caught on the stair, beginning to catch on fire. He quickly undid the clasps holding it to him and moved forward, determined to find his Serenity.

The four stared at her in shock. "Y-you mean..." began Mina, tears in her eyes.

"She....." Lita attempted, tears in her eyes as well.

"She's back," answered Raye, crying. "And she needs our help."

"Anything for her," whispered Amy, crying like the other three.

They all lifted their right hands in the air, the smiles disappearing from their faces to be replaced with looks of pure determination.

"I call upon the power of Mars,"

"I call upon the power of Mercury,"

"I call upon the power of Venus,"

"I call upon the power of Jupiter,"

"We, the Sailor Senshi, ask for your guidance, for your help, for your power!" screamed Raye, as a whirlwind began around the four.

"Mars Power!"

"Mercury Power!"

"Venus Power!"

"Jupiter Power!"

And, suddenly, in the place of the four women stood the legendary Sailor Senshi, protectors of the Princess of the Moon, back again to fulfill their destiny.

He was so scared. With every step he took, the fire only got worse. He wanted so much to be out of here, for this to be nothing more than a dream. But he knew he couldn't leave her. Even if it was nothing more than a dream, he couldn't let her die, even if it meant his own life. He reached a door, and felt a tug at his heart. He had found her! He pushed open the door, to find her curled up on her bed, crying. He ran to her, and gently picked her up in his arms. She looked up at him, shock and fear written all over her face. "W-who..?" she began, but he silenced her with a finger to her lips.

"Shhh... it's okay now. You're going to be just fine; I promise. I'm going to get you out of here. Just go back to sleep." He smiled as he felt her snuggle up against him, trusting him completely. He turned to walk out the door, but stopped dead in his tracks. The fire had completely devoured the door; the only way out now was the window. He ran to it, and, as he looked down, felt his blood run cold. Jumping from this height would break both his legs and her ribs, at least. He glanced again behind him, and saw the fire creeping up on them. Sighing heavily, he turned back to the window, and prayed to whatever god would listen that at least she would be alright. He pulled her closer, and swung his legs out the window. As he let himself fall, he saw the fire consume the wooden frame where he had sat only seconds ago. He looked back down to the rapidly rising ground, and closed his eyes, gripping his Serenity to him.

Just as he thought he was going to hit, everything stopped. The air rushing around them, the crackling of the fire, even the shouts, gasps, and cries of the people watching. He opened his eyes to find himself wrapped in a golden chain, made completely out of hearts, reaching from the tree above. Looking up, he saw Kunzite's wife, Lady Mina, transformed as Sailor Venus, holding the other end of the whip. She gently lowered them down to the ground, and jumped down herself. Smiling, she walked over to them, but her smile quickly faded as she looked at the bundle in Endymion's arms. She gasped, tears in her eyes. "Oh, God, Endymion. Is she...?"

"She's alive, but badly burned," he replied, loosening his grip on her just enough for Mina to get a good look. The woman cried as she brushed a few strands of hair out of her princess's eyes. "She's asleep," she whispered, reverting back to her bubbly self. "Same old Serenity," she chuckled.

"Good God! Endymion! Over HERE!" he heard someone shout. Looking up, he saw seven Senshi standing in front of the crowd. Sailors Neptune and Mercury still using their powers to stop the fire. He walked over to them, Venus in tow, with Serena clutched to his chest.

Mars ran into him, not willing to wait another second to see her friend. "Is she okay?" she whispered, touching the girl's hair.

"She's fine, Raye" Endymion smiled, feeling as if they were back on the Moon. "She's just a little burned. Although I think you and I will be in more trouble than her if we don't let the others see her," he replied, gesturing to the six women standing impatiently a few yards away.

Raye smiled, and let Endymion prove to the other crying women their princess was fine. Mercury, Jupiter, Neptune, and Uranus had the same reaction as Venus and Mars, crying, asking if she was alright, and gently touching her hair. Sailor Pluto just smiled knowingly from behind, a smile on her face and tears in her eyes nonetheless.

Sailor Saturn, however, came up to her once everyone else had finished, and looked into Endymion's eyes. "You're hurt," she said. It wasn't really a question, more of a statement.

"I'm alright," he replied, "Just a little burned. It's Serenity I'm worried about. She was in there longer than I..."

"Let me help," interrupted the girl, smiling at her prince. Without giving him a chance to retaliate, she closed her eyes and concentrated on her power. A faint purple aura glowed around her, and she placed her hands gently on the Prince and Princess. As she did so, Endymion felt the girl in his arms relax, as he felt the burns disappear of his own body.

Saturn stopped, and looked again into the eyes of her Prince. Endymion smiled at her, and quietly said, "Thank you,"

"Do not thank me, Endymion," she answered, a smile on her face. "I should be thanking you, for saving her. We all should."

Serenity stirred in Endymion's arms, and muttered a "Thank you," before going back to sleep. Endymion chuckled, so happy to have his angel back where she belonged; in his arms.

"I suppose you should get her somewhere to stay," said Amara, walking toward them, six women in tow, she herself smiling at him. "Any ideas?"

"She shall stay with me, of course," he replied, as if there should never have been a flicker of doubt in anyone's mind. The eight Senshi smiled, knowing that, somehow, everything would be back to the way it used to be.

"Perhaps we should go home now," spoke Venus. "I don't know about you, Jupiter, Mercury, but I know that Kunzite would be more than ecstatic at seeing her again."

Mars gasped, and put her hands to her mouth.
"Oh, my God! Jadeite!" she gasped, remembering the reason they were able to come and help in the first place.

Endymion smiled and replied, "He's just over there, probably waiting for you." At this, Mars ran in the direction of the crowd, trying to find her husband. She came back only moments later, hanging on to the arm of a very happy, and very relieved, general, both smiling.

Venus looked at the four Outers and said, "You can come to the palace, too, if you want. There's more than enough room palace for all of us."

The Outers smiled, and readily accepted. As the Senshi joined hands, ready to teleport back to the palace, Endymion held his princess closer, tears in his own eyes. Tears of relief, joy, and sorrow.

The crowd watched in awe as the Warriors of Legend, the Sailor Senshi, mysteriously disappeared. And with Prince Endymion, no less! What nobody understood, was why his Royal Highness would risk his own life to save that of a peasant. The prince was known for his compassion for everyone, just like Serena, but why would he go to such extremes to save someone he had never met? And why not the others in the building? Was it just because he couldn't find them, or had this girl meant something to him? And what ties did he have to the Sailor Senshi? Surely he couldn't be- A sudden creaking pulled everyone out of their shock as they turned to watch the pub collapse in an ear-shattering crash.

Eleven people appeared, as if from nowhere, in the middle of the library. Looking around, they saw three men sitting anxiously, obviously waiting for the three women in orange, green, and blue; their wives. The men looked up and, for a moment, were completely speechless. It wore off quickly, however, and they ran to their wives, holding them close, asking questions a mile a minute.

"Amy, what happened?"

"Mina, are you alright?"

"Lita, are you hurt?"

"How did you transform?"

"Has that ever happened here?"

"Is that...?"

"It IS, isn't it?

"Oh, god, what happened?"

The women laughed, and only hugged their husbands tighter. "Calm down, my love," chuckled Mina, looking into Kunzite's eyes. "We will tell you what happened, but only if you promise to calm down and let us talk, alright? We certainly cannot explain while the three of you act as if you've just seen a ghost."

Endymion looked down at the sleeping angel in his arms, and thought of how much he wished to join her. He cleared his throat, and, once he had the attention of all in the room, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but I am very tired, and I wish to retire to my rooms. I request that you come get me only if absolutely necessary, if not, I shall see you all tomorrow morning." The Senshi all shared knowing glances, and nodded to their prince, telling him they understood. He smiled back at them, turned around, walked out the door, and headed to his rooms, his angel held securely in his arms.

The Senshi sat down, the Inners comfortably positioned on their husbands' laps, the Outers sitting across from them. The Senshi and Jadeite sighed, not really in the mood to explain the previous day's events to three very tired, and very confused, generals.

Endymion closed the door to his bedroom, and looked at her. She looked so beautiful, lying in his bed, with her hair down, curled up with his blankets wrapped lovingly around her. He smiled as he walked over to the bed, thinking of how it felt like she had never left him. As he laid down next to her, pulling her closely to him, his last thoughts before falling asleep were of how, in the morning, he would begin his plan. How he would make everything perfect for her, make her remember him. And also he thought of how much he loved her....
