Sailor Nemesis
Chapter 23
He looked straight into her eyes and told her truthfully, "I told you before basically our reasons are the same, no wait here me out. Besides me being in love with you and my brother sided with the Moon, my…wait not mine but my parents' people they sided with the Dark Kingdom. Where was I suppose to side? Either way I was neutral, rule three be neutral."
She stood there shocked, how had he known about rule three? She shook her head so she could clear it, that piece of information she didn't to know, it didn't matter right now.
"Did that answer your question? Anymore?" he knew she had unlimited questions.
"My mother, how did she know about this power I supposedly can control? How did you know? What happens to those who use it? Is it so bad that you and my mother have kept me from it?"
He smiled; he should have known that would have egged her own. He expected it and if she didn't have questions he would be worried and ask if she was alright if she was sick. She was so not her Earth name. Samantha means listener, she could listen when she wanted to, but instead she always talked, but he wouldn't have her any other way.
"First tell me why you didn't help your people. I get the idea of being neutral, but there was something else wasn't here? After you tell me this I will tell you all you want to know." he said this with a smile on his face and his hands held up in the air in surrender.
"Fine," she said, "I told the others what happened, it happened right after…I don't even know what you call it. You remember what just happened? When you and my sister caught me and your brother in the park, and how I stormed off in darkness? Right after that the war had almost started it was coming; by the time I was got home to the Moon Kingdom my little sister was there as well, safe with her Court. I went straight to the Silver Imperial Crystal, here is what I told the girls what had happened…
Long ago in the Moon Kingdom, everyone was happy, why not? The Kingdom was peaceful and probably will always be. Just not the Eldest Princess, who just a few people in the Kingdom knew about, those few were the Royalty. The only man she ever loved was stolen by her little sister. She was so stricken with grief that she knew the only way to ease it was to steal the Silver Imperial Crystal and ask it for its help.
She needed justice, they needed to be punished. But the plan she had was interrupted by her mother, the Queen. Her mother looked at her with eyes that was mixed with pity, scolding, and something else, was it fear? Had her mother ever been afraid before?
"So childish Serenity, I thought you were more mature then that. There is a problem and your revenge will have to wait, I don't know how long child, but it can't be now. The Dark Kingdom is about to attack the Moon Kingdom, I have asked for the other Planets to help. But something more important is on my mind now."
'What was more important then the Kingdom?' I asked myself.
"I must ask you to think about this hard, my daughter, you power can not be unleashed on our enemies. I have told you I never want you to fight, which is why you have your Scouts, which I have seen you got away from them a lot. You power is too great; I fear they will try to use you. So you must get away, please this is what I need you to do for the Kingdom. You have as much power as all of the eight Scouts including your little sister has. Will you become the ninth scout my child and protect this Earth and this Kingdom, what's left of it from afar? Will you become Sailor Nemesis?"
I was worried about the Crystal, from the way mother was taking about something was going to happen to her. So I asked as quickly as I could, I knew there wasn't much time.
"What about the Crystal" I asked in a monotone voice, it was emotionless, unlike hers.
"Your sister will take care of it till it is your time to come back. Your court is already at their Planets, remember this, my daughter if things go bad I will send everyone to Earth, they will be reborn the same as your court. They will have no memories; I will put up a barrier around their memory of you. This has to be done; they cannot get you that I will never allow, you will be free to choose your own destiny.
Saturn will be with you for awhile, your court will remember you if they summon you, like Uranus and Neptune and Pluto can summon Saturn you can be summoned, but not without the others, the other scouts have to summon you too, both courts will come together on this.
Like the others you have their power as Nemesis, you know Pluto's taboos, yours will be a little different. There will be a price to pay, but death is not that price for stopping time. I do not have time to tell you what it is, you will find out if you dare my child."
It seemed like she was trying to say something else, but at that same moment the Palace shook.
"Oh no, you must make you choice now, my dear what will it be?" the Queen said quickly.
I looked at my mother and saw her face was so deathly pale, we both knew what was going to happen, the Moon Kingdom would fall, and I would be staying on Nemesis for along time,
"You know my answer mother, I will do it, and I will become Sailor Nemesis." I answered in the emotionless, monotone I always had, when mother talked with me, I always hid my feelings with her. I could never tell her anything. The things I hid from her were always less then what she actually hid from me.
She gave me my morphing pen and told me what to call out, Nemesis Planet Power. I transformed into Sailor Nemesis, my staff was in my hand, and it replaced the morphing pen that I had thrown down during my transformation. She pointed out my Talisman and told me it took the power I feed into it and concentrated it and so I could use it. She told me I would not be alone till Saturn was summoned twice, the first time she would come back, but not the second. She said I could take Saturn's place and do what was needed to be done, but told me not to do it, to judge what should be done, I like Pluto could see the Past, Present, and Future.
The floor rumbled, and she hugged me and whispered into my ear, "Never forget my daughter I have always loved you, all I did was to protect you. Everything I did was for you even if you didn't thing so."
"So the ones she wanted to protect me from?" she asked him because still to this day she still didn't understand her mother.
"The Dark Kingdom, my love, she felt this war would trigger something inside of you and they would take you and use you to destroy everyone you have ever known. How do I know this? Right after you left to go to Nemesis, Queen Serenity called to me here, this was where I was, and she told me everything about you, everything she wanted to tell you herself. She knew she was going to die that day and the Silver Millennium would be forever destroyed until you all would restore it in the future. Why did she tell me everything, an outsider she didn't really know other then the human her eldest daughter had fallen in love with? It had nothing to do with those labels. It was that I was and still is the Guardian of the power that her daughter could and would control. She told me everything and I told her the same."
