Chapter 8
The scouts have gathered around the area where Mercury said there would be an opening space. They however were figuring out a plan on what they would do once they were inside.
"Endymion was not very specific about the technologies and powers they had. Just saying they have negative energy is not much, I mean Beryl and her cronies had the same thing and look how strong they were at times" said Venus.
"Well whatever is to be expected we will stick together that's how we have gotten so far" said Mars.
"Right then Endymion mentioned that besides Esmeraude, the four sisters, and Rubeus, there were the dark prince's younger brother Safiel, and their advisor who called himself the Wiseman. Quite a strange name for an advisor but Endymion said that Mars's future self had sensed that there was more dark power radiating off of him so we should probably watch out for him more" said Sailor Mercury.
"Wait there was also the part where Endymion said not to look into the dark prince's eyes what do you think that meant asked Venus?
"His power is probably brainwashing. It makes me more worried about Usagi she is too forgiving and naive at times" said Tuxedo Kamen.
Mars was going to interject at that comment but Venus then announced "Come on senshi it is now or never, get in position"
The scouts grabbed hands. Sailor Mercury looked over to Tuxedo Kame and asked "Will you remember the coordinates that I gave you"? Tuxedo Kamen nodded and said "I will meet up with you girls inside". "Good luck" said Mars. "Alright girls focus on all your energy onto getting us inside" said Venus.
"MERCURY STAR POWER"
"MARS STAR POWER"
"JUPITER STAR POWER"
"VENUS STAR POWER"
"SAILOR SENSHI TELEPORT"
It was strange for the senshi to teleport without Usagi, but mainly it was because they have never tried to teleport without her. The senshi however teleported successfully inside the black crystal, they were now deciding though which way to head first because all they could see was darkness.
While Mercury was scanning for a way to find Usagi faster, Venus decided to make comments. "Geez maybe the reason they're pissed at the world is because there place is so dark. You know sad environments can affect people."
Sailor Mars rolled her eyes, but Jupiter was joining in "Yeah you would think they had better interior decorators".
Venus was about to comment but then Mercury announced that she had readings on Usagi's energy but it was very faint. "Guys this could be bad Usagi is used to having the silver crystal with her at all times and that is what keeps her energy strong, but without it and having all this negative energy around her, it could affect her very badly" explained Mercury.
"Well why are we still standing here lead the way Mercury" said Mars. "Okay this way everyone" said Mercury going to the left.
In Usagi's Room
Usagi and Chibi-Usa was laying on the bed in silence they were still in shock on the conversation Prince Demando talked about earlier.
After Safiel left the room Usagi then decided to speak her mind "You realize that you are underestimating the sailor senshi when it comes to power overall we are still stronger than you are! Why do you people never realize that?"
Demando however laughed "If your crystal is so strong than why is it we were able to have never been able to destroy future Tokyo so quickly? King Endymion was not very smart with his military either the soldiers we fought, it was like they weren't even trying". Demando said chuckling a bit. "Which brings me to this question princess, how well does your king or future king defend you and your scouts hmmm"?
Usagi was appalled, with that she instantly responded "If you are talking about Tuxedo Kamen-sama he has been very loyal to the Sailor Senshi he always fight with us"!
Demando looked at her and asked her seriously "Are you sure? Esmeraude tells me he has not been very reliable in fights, and that he sometimes shows up when it's almost too late. So it leads me to believe that your "loyal fighter" is someone I would deem as untrustworthy"…
"That's it what kind of game are you playing who the hell are you to say who I should or should not trust! Demando was not happy with her outburst however. "I suggest that in my presence you shall hold your tongue"! "I will not take any orders from you"! shouted Usagi Demando sat back down but muttered something Usagi sworn she heard "you will soon"….
End of flashback….
"Usagi-chan is Mamoru a traitor"? Asked Chibi-Usa. Usagi looked at her and said "No Chibi-Usa he is not he has been very good to all of us remember how many times he has saved us in fights"? "But that man said-"
"Never mind what Demando said, he is wrong Mamoru is a good man. Now you go to sleep I promise we will be out of here soon. As Chibi-Usa was falling asleep Usagi started to think back on the accusations Demando was making.
"It's weird I don't call him Mamo-chan nowadays. Now that I think about it Demando is right Mamoru has always been late to fights all he can seem to do is provide a distraction by throwing a rose. I still am mad with the Beryl thing I mean I was starting to think he wasn't brainwashed because he was still saving us.
Usagi got up and went to the door only to find that it was unlocked. "Maybe if I looked around the place I can find something that will get Chibi-Usa and I out of here". Usagi left the room and walked down the halls. "Is it just me or is it getting colder the deeper I go it's pretty gloomy here this guy should really redesign" Usagi was about to make a left when she heard someone talking. Usagi peeked around the corner to hear and attempt to see what was going on, Usagi covered her mouth to keep herself from gasping in shock. Usagi saw a floating cloaked figure in the middle of the room holding a crystal ball.
The figure then started to speak again
"Finally both of the Lunarian descendants is within my clutches with both of them on my side I will take over the world NO the universe! I do not need Prince Demando and his pathetic naïve family anymore they were useless pawns anyway who were never able to get anything right. With the power of the future Neo Queen Serenity and the rabbit we will wipe out the entire Black Moon Clan!
Usagi turned away "Oh God this is …. We were way off on who the enemy is… I got to.. I have to warn them and fast"! Usagi quietly walked away from the room and tried to find the room Chibi-Usa and her were staying in. "Damn this labyrinth where the hell is that room! Usagi started running faster when she suddenly stopped. "What the hell! I can't move!
"Insolent girl did you not think I did not here you listen in on my conversation" said the raspy voice she heard earlier that came from the cloaked figure.
Usagi looked around to find the cloaked figure appearing from under the floor in front of her. "What are you? Usagi asked. The cloaked figure began to speak again, "I am called many things but here I am known as the Wiseman, Prince Demando's advisor. "I heard what your plans are, what possible gain do you have by wiping out a family? You're working with them aren't you all for the same cause?
"Stupid girl no wonder your kingdom was crushed twice you Lunarians are too naive to see truths, but no matter you won't be around long to see the truth anyway"
Usagi was about to scream for help but the Wiseman threw negative energy at her causing her to blackout….
Usagi's Dream
The Moon Kingdom
Usagi opened her eyes to find herself standing outside the throne room. "Damn't wake up! Wake up! Usagi tried with all her will to wake herself up but her body wouldn't let her. "What's going on here now anyway?"
Usagi walked and saw that her future self was in the throne room sitting by her mother Usagi looked around to see that the throne room was made to look like a jury room there were rows of people on each side and there were people in one row furiously writing things down. "I guess they record the case" thought Usagi. What shocked Usagi the most was Endymion was in front of them and in chains! Usagi saw that Endymions father and a few other men were standing behind him.
Queen Serenity then spoke; Prince Endymion we have found you guilty of attempts to assassinate the moon princess the next heir to the throne. Keep in mind that if you try to withstand this crime we have testimonials and other evidence saying otherwise.
Usagi gasped "Mamoru tried to kill me?" Usagi got closer so she can hear more.
She heard Mamoru's past self speak; Forgive me your majesty but I honestly do not have any wish of your daughter being dead I do not know where you got all this evidence against me from but I can assure you they are all lies! What possible reason could I have for killing the moon princess? It would cause a war something my planet cannot have!
Queen Serenity however was not fazed by this because then she spoke; your crimes should be worthy of death… But I am more lenient with usual punishments. King Endymion the treaty still stands but relations between the moon and earth no more your son and everyone else you're your planet are now banished. From now on no one from your planet is allowed in my kingdom. Guards escort them out make sure they leave this time.
Usagi looked closely and saw Prince Endymion looked completely calm about the predicament. "Is it when they are too calm they are guilty?" Usagi got closer to hear what her past self and the queen was talking about.
"Mother do you think that banishment was the way to handle this matter, I mean would if they call a war what would they do then?" Queen Serenity looked at her warmly and said "Do not worry my dearest inside the treaty if citizens from one planet were placed under banishment from said planet war could not be called if the treaty was still in place. In this matter it is so there is nothing to worry about".
The princess let out a breath of relief and said "Well I am glad that matter is settled but mother I was also wondering about the treaty with the Black moon and our planet… Everything went well did they not?" Queen Serenity laughed a bit and said "I am surprised you did not already know since you try to sneak in and listen in on those meetings. Usagi saw her past self slightly blush at the comment. "But I will give you good news on the treaty for it is now complete and is now instated we are now allies with the Black Moon". Usagi saw her past self brightened and then hugged the queen. "Oh mother that is wonderful news to hear I am so happy this worked out!"
The Queen linked her arm with Usagi's past self and started walking. "Well I assume tomorrow when the Black Moon family drops in you will be seeing the prince?" "Yes we were planning on it I wanted to show him the new flowers I planted in the garden"….
Usagi wanted to get in closer but she fell to the ground because pain was going through her entire body. "Owww usually it's just my head not my whole body"!
Nemesis
Usagi felt drained like he had her energy sucked out by a youma again. Usagi opened her eyes to see that she was floating upside down surrounded by dark energy "No wonder I felt so weak" Usagi did not have much to think though because the Wiseman floated beneath her and was holding his crystal ball. "Princess Serenity … no Tsukino Usagi I think the Black Moon can use you for a little while….
