Hello All! Thanks, again, so much for ALL of your reviews! Thanks for all the messages and comments dealing with the accident. You guys are the best! I have to give credit to my loyal critic and reviewer Malacoda. Thanks to their brilliant mind, you have more chapters in this story to look forward to. Things are about to get really bumpy for our favorite Senshi and Vampire!
On a side note, everyone should check out Labores Solis' new story Monotonic Allurement of Stars. It is a cross between Harry Potter and Sailor Moon, and though I'm not beta-reading it (darn…I love early updates) I can tell you that I have discussed it some with her and it is going to be a FABULOUS story. So, make your way over to this story and get to reading. You will not be disappointed :). Story ID: 5158776
As the story turns……
Chapter 14: The Past Revisits
The Golden Senshi stared off into the distance. She had come to this planet in search for the Star Seeds of Sailor Senshi. This planet was the brightest in the galaxy. Though her Sailor Animamates failed her time and time again, she felt confident that soon she would rebuild this world like a God. A world void of all shining stars.
She felt confident, that is, until she felt the sudden burst of energy that entered this world. It was a shine incomparable to any others she had ever felt, even her own Star Seed…that damn Light of Hope.
She knew she could not lose focus on the area she was in right now. The prize Star Seed, the one of the Moon Princess, resided here. She decided to put in a call.
These damn Senshi never know when to quit. Lead Crow thought to herself. She was currently trying to get Aluminum Siren out of another mess she had gotten herself into. Honestly, she didn't know why she even considered her a rival. The girl made some dumb decisions. Just then, everything halted as a black phone appeared right in front of her. It was ringing.
She hesitantly picked up the phone and answered it. "Yes, Madam Galaxia." She listened closely to the other line before she replied, "Yes, Madam. I'll be right there." She hung up the phone and allowed it to disappear.
The Senshi all stared in confusion. Aluminum Siren asked her partner, "What's wrong?"
Lead Crow shook her head. "Nothing, it seems I am to be relocated to a different part of the world." She wondered what on Earth Galaxia wanted her to do. All the Star Seeds were here. Or at least, she thought they were.
"Relocated?" Siren asked. "To where?" Crow just shrugged as she called upon the telephone booth to take her back to Galaxy TV. Siren turned back to the Senshi. "This isn't over. Sailor Cop, take care of these pests." She made her way over to the booth as well as they both teleported back to headquarters.
The two Animamates made their way to Galaxia's thrown. They quickly bowed before their Mistress.
"Sailor Lead Crow." Galaxia called out.
"Yes, Madam." She said, not looking her in the eye.
"It seems there has been a massive surge of energy in the town of Forks, Washington, in America. Since it should not take two of you to capture Star Seeds, I will require you to go to this town and see what the cause of this energy is. It is a very powerful Star Seed, and if I can capture it, I will certainly have supreme rule of this universe."
Lead Crow bowed even deeper. "Yes, Madam. I will find this Star Seed and bring it back to you." She disappeared from the throne and made her way to her office to begin to pack. Galaxia turned to Siren. "Sailor Aluminum Siren, continue in the quest for a real Star Seed. Try not to disappoint me again."
She bowed as she too disappeared.
"I must have that power." Galaxia stated as she continued to stare into the distance; her collection of real Star Seeds forming behind her.
"Where would she be sent?" Seiya asked as he continued to pace around the room.
"What does it matter?" Yaten asked in a bored voice.
Seiya stopped in front of Yaten. "Have you not even considered that it could be our Princess?" Seiya asked, anger in his voice at Yaten's passiveness.
"How do you figure, Seiya?" Taiki asked.
Seiya began to pace once again as his mind thought over the idea. "What if our Princess has finally revealed herself, and Galaxia sensed her power. She would not let that power just roam free, she would hunt it down, but she can't abandon her mission here, so she splits up the Animamates in order to search for the Star Seeds here, and for a lone Star Seed in the distance."
Taiki thought over Seiya's logic. "It is possible, but how are we to know?"
Seiya looked at Taiki. "I'll go after Lead Crow to see what she's up to."
Yaten stood up in a fury. "What about everything we have worked for here?!? The Three Lights, singing for our Princess, you can't leave! It would be pointless for us to continue our search. We all three need to be together, Seiya."
"I am thinking of our Princess, Yaten!" Seiya yelled. His anger causing his body to shake. Yaten knew very well that he was always thinking of their Princess. "We can't allow our enemy to escape unmonitored. What if this is the path to our Princess?"
Yaten scoffed. "I think you are more concerned with protecting this planet. I see the way your eyes watch that girl. Sailor Moon. She is not our Princess, but I can easily see you're falling in love with her."
Seiya let out a scream as went to attack Yaten. Taiki stepped in between them and gave Seiya a stern look. He immediately calmed down.
"How are you going to find Lead Crow?" Taiki asked Seiya.
"We need to concentrate on her energy. All three of us, with our combined powers. If we can locate it, than I can find her."
"I am not participating in this." Yaten stated.
"Yes you are." Taiki said firmly. "What if Seiya is right? What if this leads to our Princess? We have to at least take a chance. You and I will remain here to continue in our search. As for the Three Lights, we'll just say that Seiya is sick and won't be returning to the stage for awhile."
Taiki turned to Seiya. "You can't be gone for too long. If you find insufficient evidence of our Princess' whereabouts, you need to come back here and forget about what Lead Crow is trying to do." Seiya nodded in agreement to Taiki's words.
The three Star Lights stood in a circle and called upon the power of their stars. They immediately transformed into their Senshi form. They each thought of the energy from Lead Crow. Their force, their power, reaching out of their bodies in search for it. They finally found its location. Keeping their powers locked on that location, Maker spoke very softly. "Fighter, we are going to teleport you to this new place. Please, do not lose focus. Come back when you have finished your search." Fighter did not respond, but Maker knew he had heard him.
Energy flowed around Fighter and soon she was no longer in the same room with the other Star Lights.
Lead Crow arrived just on the outskirts of her new headquarters. A mission on her own. Galaxia must have some confidence in her. This made her swell with pride. For a moment at least. Her thoughts then wandered to the consequences should she fail. She shuddered at the thought. This was probably Galaxia's most important Star Seed. She couldn't blow it.
She began to wander around; walking closer to the town. As she took in the sights around her, she felt a little more confident about her mission. This town was extremely small compared to Tokyo. It shouldn't be a problem to locate the lone Star Seed.
She finally came across an abandoned building that was close to town, but not directly in it. She walked inside and took a look around. "Perfect." She mumbled to herself.
She held up her arms high and called upon the power of Galaxia. Within seconds, the building was renewed. She had made it into another Galaxy TV, just as she was ordered to do. Once that was complete, a black phone appeared in front of her.
She picked it up. "Yes, Madam Galaxia." She paused. "Yes, I am settled. This town is very small, so I will find the real Star Seed." She hung up the phone and threw herself into a chair in front of a computer. Her search had officially begun.
I, once again, found myself sitting in the Cullen's living room. We were all sitting around, waiting for the decision of the Volturi. Alice has been keeping her eye on them for a good half-hour. No one said a word.
My insides were ripping apart. No matter where I went, things always ended up going bad. Is it so much to wish for normality? To wish for something constant? I looked at Edward as he sat quietly on the other side of the room. Watching Alice. He had an idea of what I was feeling, but the sorrow I have felt is something I wish he would never experience.
I looked back at Alice and noticed her eyes were refocusing.
"What did you see?" Edward asked quickly.
"They are coming here. It seems the information that Victoria gave them has Aro curious. Not to mention they have already heard about our coven and how it is growing in size. They feel it is time to pay a visit."
"When?" Carlisle asked.
"Soon, but not right away. They are preparing themselves."
"Well than we should do the same." I said as I stood up.
"Yes. It looks as if we have a potential war on our hands." Carlisle stated.
Everyone's demeanor quickly grew solemn. I couldn't take being in there with them. I was the cause of all this. I knew better than to interact with anyone. I am Cosmos. I am not permitted to have relationships. Did I honestly think things would work out? That I could stay here?
I quickly made my way out the door and started walking towards the woods. Edward was hot on my heels.
"Serena, wait." He called out to me. I stopped and turned to face him. "Don't you blame this on yourself." He said forcefully.
"Edward, I am to blame. I should not have become friends with anybody. I don't want you and your family to protect me. I don't want you killed for my sake."
"We won't be killed. Who knows, we might not even have to fight, but if we do, we'll have a plan, and it will work." He said with a smile as he brought me into an embrace.
I couldn't take being in his arms though. I pulled away and said, "Edward, you don't understand. Every time someone tries to protect me, they end up dying for me. I end up fighting alone. You should just let me deal with this, and keep your family out of it."
"No." He said vigorously. I knew I couldn't argue with him, but I wish he would just see that I would be fine on my own. I always was. Besides, it wasn't like the Volturi were that much of a threat to me. I have faced worse in the past.
Just then, my attention was drawn elsewhere.
A very strong presence was nearby. The energy of a Senshi, it had to be. I continued to study it. It felt so familiar to me, but I could not place it.
"What's…" Edward began, but I held up my hand. I don't know how they located me here, or even who it was. Was it an enemy? I couldn't take any chances. I threw my hand in the air once again and cried out "Cosmic Moon Celestial Power!!!" Within seconds I was standing in my Cosmos form.
I held out my arm telling Edward to not move. The figure was drawing even closer to us. It might have felt my burst of energy. I called on my staff, and took up a defensive stance in front of Edward. I heard the rustling of the trees and the leaves, and I prepared myself for a potential attack. What I wasn't prepared for was the face that emerged from behind the trees.
"Fighter." I said in disbelief. "What are you doing here?" The female warrior looked at me with shock written on her eyes. "Who are you?" She demanded. "How do you know me?"
The smile that lit up my face could light up the entire world. Tears began to stream down my cheeks as I said, "Seiya, it's me. Usagi…Sailor Moon."
There is another chapter! So, what will happen with Seiya in the picture? I wonder how Edward is going to take their relationship. I hope everyone enjoyed it, and don't mind the twist I took on it (it will give you more chapters than originally). Malacoda, I hope this is what you had in mind. I thought it was a great idea. Thanks! The next story to update is The Forgotten Prophecy! Don't forget to PLEASE REVIEW!!!
