Future Interference

During Act 5

The bubble that surrounded Princess Serenity expanded. She was free to send a message to her love. Cosmos watched her, listening to their host think. She was lost in the dream fog nearly forgetting her own name. Suddenly, Cosmos went from passive to active.

"That's enough, Princess!" she hissed, "The day's begun. Do you want to damage her body and mind?" She didn't mean to be harsh, but this was serious. Serenity, reluctantly, let go of her dream message as their host woke up. Because of her irritation, or rather agitation, Sailor Cosmos didn't notice her block on Usagi's thoughts slipped up.

'…edo Kamen… heart races… ame… warm… arms…miliar…long ago…' echoed through the nothingness. Serenity and Cosmos became startled for different reasons. Cosmos because she let it slip and Serenity because of the thoughts.

"Future, what is this? Who is this '…edo Kamen'? Her heart races? Why? I do not understand. Please explain." She asked her elder, who sighed.

"I am not to tell you, Princess. If I do, there will be consequences." There was a note of irritation in her voice. The younger woman frowned, but said nothing.

A while later, the two felt a tinge within and around them. A light shone through their opening when they looked to the outside world for only a minute. Each felt a change in their host's body.

"She used the new device." Serenity voiced their thoughts. Cosmos nodded.

"Be ready to supply power and energy." Both got into the meditative stance preparing. After the transformation, this time was a little different. Serenity had opened her eyes and shouted the words as Sailor Moon said them.

"I cannot allow you to take the form of a sacred bride and make use of whispers of love! I am the sailor-suited pretty soldier of love and justice, Sailor Moon, and in the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!" As this was finished, Princess Serenity returned to her normal state. The signs of Mars and Mercury flashed. A new sign began to glow green within the pink nothingness. The number four. The sign of the fourth soldier. Sailor Jupiter. Kino Makoto.

When both came out of the trance, Cosmos asked her young self, "Are you ready to awaken yet?"

Not quite, but yes soon, very soon…
