Sailor Nemesis
Chapter 16
Flashbacks came, not one hundred percent clear but clear enough. All the others could do was watch both of them on the ground wither and moan and groan. They didn't know what to do, Sestsuna and Hotaru looked at each other and Hotaru said, "Is this…" Sestsuna nodded and finished her sentence, "a mind battle, yeah only they can stop this."
James was doing exactly what Sam was doing, they were holding their heads and breathing hard, it did seem what Hotaru and Sestsuna said was right, this was a mind battle. Sam had stopped screaming; James of course being the man he was didn't once scream, maybe groan loudly but not scream.
Once it was over Mamoru helped James to his feet and asked him if he was alright. James of course didn't really hear him and said, "Where am I?" he looked at Mamoru hard, but something came to him and he remembered what happened, he knew where he was, he was in this life. He remembered the condition Sam was in and was looking for her, "Where is she? She was hurt so bad she shouldn't have been able to move. She could barely breathe with those ribs cracked, plus her ankle was broken she couldn't walk on it."
The others looked at each other and thought, 'how did he know that? We didn't even know that.' Bunny went up to him and told him Sam was alright. "They took her home after you fell; you were unconscious for at least ten minutes."
He looked around for all five girls; (including Sam) they were gone just like Bunny had said, but what he didn't know was that they were closer then he thought and half of what Bunny said was a lie. They were next to Sam and the tree she had slid down.
James looked at Mamoru and said, "Your close to Sam," Mamoru blushed a little, "tell her to quit, she has to stop fighting, even though she is who she is she has to stop, at least till she is stronger." With that said James left.
Everyone heard it, but after James was out of sight Bunny and Mamoru went over to where Sam and the others were. They heard her laugh and then say, "I can't, and the darkness inside of me will never let me." They looked down at her and frowned, before she passed out again she said softly, "he should know that, or at least he once did."
They all thought about what she had said before she had passed out, but they knew they had to get her home. All four of her Scouts knew something was wrong. Sam never forgot anything, well unless it was sealed away and they didn't think the Queen sealed any of Sam's memories away.
They didn't like that someone like him who had that flare of power just a while ago knew she was a Sailor Scout, how did he know who she was? Did someone tell him, or did he see it by accident or were they really connected by the Past, had their Princess come to Earth before and they didn't know?
They knew it wouldn't be the last time someone they knew came back from the past, like Beryl and the rest how did they get back? They (the Scouts) had died, but so were did the enemy they had faced they had killed every one of them, but unlike the Scouts they died in the new time.
Did they know James? Like Sam could they have forgotten about him? Well, whatever it was they could wait to think about it till morning or later. Of course they had to wait till Sam was up and healed to tell them. What she was remembering, was it something she wanted to remember or did she not want to remember it? They yawned and went to bed; all of this could wait till they got up in the morning, which may turn out to be a while.
As they went to sleep Beryl looked over at the messenger. This messenger had seen what had happened before and after the fight, from when the fight started to when they took the girl home. The two questions Beryl had were, who was this man, and how did he make her remember something she didn't want to remember?
