[Gee Michi-Chan, thanks! Yea, it is Xenogears. It's where I got the
idea for Terra. I think at one point in my story she mentions 'the ship
that crashed thousand thousands of years ago'. She's referring to the
Eldridge, which she was a passenger on. Pluto was there too trying to see
if there was any way to prevent the crash. She realized that Terra was
Sailor Earth and gave her the Green Gem to ensure that she's be born
again.]
Serena looked around, dazed and confused. Something wasn't right. Wasn't she still on Earth?
"Um...excuse me? Aveh? What's Aveh?" She asked. He just looked at her like she was crazy. Serena knew that look. GOHAN gave her that look. It was the 'Let's-find-a-nice-straight-jacket-and-get-you-a-room-with-pillows-on-the- walls' look. What was especially creepy was he could do it with only one eye. Well.
"Aveh. One of the warring countries? Against Kislev?" He tried again. Serena kept that 'duh....' look on her face. She blinked.
"Um...maybe I...took one to the head..." She mumbled, praying he'd fall for it. He didn't seem to, but he left it at that. Another man walked in to join them. He wore a lot of green, had glasses, tied his long black hair back, and seemed to have a secret behind his eyes. At that point, Bart walked out as well, waving good-bye.
"Ah. I see our lovely young guest has woken up." Citan said politely. Serena blushed furiously at that. No one had ever said that to her. No one who didn't know about her royal bloodline. She grinned some and stammered a thank you.
"Well, I am Doctor Citan Uzuki. What is your name?" Citan asked. She cleared her throat some to talk. She was pretty nervous but decided to speak. She didn't want to be rude.
"S....Serenity Tsukino-Son, but my friends all call me 'Serena'." She explained as the man sat on the beds edge to rewrap the bandages on her head and arm. She winced lightly as she realized what must've happened. She knew she was lucky to have survived that. Thank God for the Silver Crystal. If she hadn't of had it, she might have been dead.
"Well Serena, my friend Fei has said quite a lot about you. When you fell through the gave roof and landed on the enemy Gear, you managed to disable it." He said. She was confused but didn't say anything on it. She had a feeling she'd learn what a Gear was soon enough.
"Um....thanks Mr. Uzuki." She said.
"Please call me Citan." He informed her. She nodded some. He finished wrapping the wounds and got up. Serena got up as well.
"Well, I don't think you'll need to stay in bed as much now. Why not survey they area?" He asked. Giving a small grin, she bowed politely and wandered out, carrying her bag with her. The place was obviously under ground and pretty extensive. So Terra was alive in this time period? Serena wondered why the Scout of the Earth never mentioned this place. She knew about it. So why wasn't anything said? She wandered the corridors for a little while before making it to the mess hall. Her stomach grumbled as she remembered she had dashed from home before having breakfast and ditched school before lunch. She felt ready to vomit from lack of food. (A/N- Hey, I've actually hurled from not eating before)
"Mmm....something smells good." She mumbled. She came to a table where the two men from earlier were sitting. She had to play her cards right and stick with these people. Something about them told her to. She carefully walked up to the two. They were drinking some kind of tea and Serena wanted some. She ran a hand through a blonde pigtail and sat down next to Bart.
"Um...hi again..." She said, a nervous smile on her face. Bart turned and waved back. Serena was relieved to see the 'look' was gone.
"Hey there um...what's your name?" The second man asked. The one behind the small counter gave her a cup and poured her some tea.
"Thanks. Oh. I'm Serenity. Just call me Serena." She said. Bart nodded.
"Well, I told you my name. That's Maison and this's Fei. He saved your life earlier." He informed her. Serena nodded to the two and drank some of the tea in a civilized manner.
"Thanks for saving me then Fei." She thanked, before requesting some more tea. The refill was made and she took another sip.
"Mmm, this is good." She said, pointing at the tea. She drank the rest of it, glad to finally have something in her stomach. She gave the cup back to Maison. Fei looked at her, confused almost.
"How'd you disable that Gear? We almost died." He said. Serena didn't know. She was possibly unconscious at the time. The only explanation was the crystal. It DID feel warm. It must have activated when it sensed danger. Of course, how would she explain that to them? What would she say? 'My magical crystal, a family relic, saved my life because I'm a Princess from the Moon'? HA!
"Well...I'm really strong and I....guess I hit at a certain spot..." She mumbled. Fei blinked. No one was THAT strong.
"Are you...sure?" He asked. She nodded. She WAS really strong, thanks to King Kai. 'King Kai...If I were to go to Otherworld right now he wouldn't even know me...' She thought unhappily. King Kai, Grand Kai, Supreme Kai, not even her own family would know her. For the first time in a long time, Serena felt alone. Lost on a strange world in some part of the galaxy. Her heart felt heavy. She felt like she'd eaten lead. She wanted to cry. She wanted to cry so badly. But she couldn't. The tears came, but she just wiped them away, pretending to have an eyelash stuck in her eye. 'No one here knows me. I can...I can be different.' She thought to herself.
"Well, want a tour of the hideout?" Bart asked. Before Serena could respond, another male walked in. He also had an eyepatch, but on the opposite eye. She winced once more.
"Young master, you're needed for a discussion." He said. Snorting some, the boy got up.
"I'll be right there Sigurd. Sorry Serena." He said before running out with the man. Whining in boredom the sixteen year old slouched over.
"What's wrong?" Fei asked. She opened one eye and looked to him.
"I'm bored....hey! Let's go explore on our own!" She exclaimed suddenly. He looked at her as though she was crazy. One second she was whining and the next she was happy. What kind of person was she? She grabbed his arm and dragged him on with her. They looked around and saw the elevator that led down. Curiosity getting the best of her, Serena led Fei to it.
"But Serena...!" He complained. She would hear nothing of it. The two went down the elevator to a highly technological room. Serena looked at in in awe. 'So these must be Gears...' She thought. So she defeated one of these things? They didn't LOOK that tough. But looks could be deceiving...
"Must be the Gear Bay." Fei muttered. Serena let him go and wandered around. There were really only five different looking ones. The majority were similar in appearance and docked in the center. The four different ones were around the rim. On the beams near them were the names. Serena read each one. 'Weltall...Heimdal...Brigander...and name unknown?' She thought silently, looking to the final one. Shaking her blonde head lightly she spotted a watch one of the workers wore. It was about midnight. No wonder she felt so tired. She noticed that Fei had gone and that left her.
"We never figured out the make or name of that one." A familiar voice came. Serena turned around to see Maison. She turned back to the gear for a moment before yawning.
"Here Miss Serena. I'll show you where you can sleep." He offered. The girl nodded lightly and followed the old man. She was led to the quarters where there was a spare bed. She didn't mind. Getting in bed, she pulled the thin sheet over her, and fell fast asleep...
~~~Three Hours Later...
"GAH!!" She yelped, hearing the alarms blaring. The ground was shaking, and she got a bad feeling. Fei was up as well.
"They say there's a break in!" He shouted to her as he pulled his shirt on. Still in Chichi's clothing, Serena ran out of the room and to the Gear Bay. Fei ran after her, carrying a bag of items. They went down the elevator to see a battle taking place between Brigadier and some other, strange Gears.
"WOAH!" Serena yelped. One of them turned to her and stared. A voice came over a communications.
"What do we have here?" A voice asked. The large robotic hand came at Serena and gripped her. She was yelling and screaming and making a scene. Fei was not immobile at this time as he was boarding Weltall. Citan had boarded Heimdal and joined them. The girl was struggling with all her might. It was no use. She began to power the crystal up.
"Let me GO!" She screeched. Bart looked at the Ether readings his Gear was getting.
"Ether level through the roof!" He shouted over the COM to his companions. The crystal began to shine as she put her hands on the metal. She would try something.
"Cosmic..."
"Shot up 100%!" Bart shouted.
"Moon..."
"250!"
"Power..." She whispered. The energy ran through the arm. The grip weakened and she was dropped. Her eyes drooped as she fell.
"So...am I going to die as well...?" She murmured softly as her strength drained from her and into the crystal. She never found out. She fell unconscious before she hit the ground...
Serena looked around, dazed and confused. Something wasn't right. Wasn't she still on Earth?
"Um...excuse me? Aveh? What's Aveh?" She asked. He just looked at her like she was crazy. Serena knew that look. GOHAN gave her that look.
