Neo: I am so sorry this has taken so long to get out! I moved and my computer has been crashing left and right! The good news is now I have a laptop!
Rubius: So stop procrastinating and get on with the fic! They've been waiting!
Neo: He's right so I won't keep you, enjoy and don't forget to review!
Rubius and Bunny finally found the dining room and got to eat breakfast before going their separate ways for their training.
F. Rubius was training his younger student to control fire and heat in such a way so that he could harness it no matter where it was or who made it. He was also being taught to shield against water attacks.
Rubius learned how to increase the temperature around him in just the right way that water near or coming at him evaporated.
F. Rubius had to work extra hard to get Rubius to learn how to create a fire shield around him and even harder to get it to the point where it could absorb energy that touched it.
Bunny was learning much different things from the Neo Queen of the Earth. She was learning how to use her moon princess powers no matter what form she happened to be in.
Although she too had to learn to shield, it was a different type of shield then that of her love's. Bunny's shield would allow any person in or out of in if Bunny said so and took a lot of energy but it was stronger than Rubius'. His shield let no one in or out.
You were either in or you were out and it was generally weak but as it absorbed energy thrown at it, it took very little energy from Rubius himself.
The never saw each other so they never could compare during their training. Although they saw each other at night, they were usually too tired to even talk.
After two weeks they were both being pushed to their limits and more often then not going with out a meal or two a day because they couldn't afford to stop and eat.
They were finally being trained together so they could learn to work as partners with their new powers.
Usagi and F. Rubius seemed to enjoy this part of the training because they were able to be together while Bunny and Rubius worked.
The scouts were also training, sort of. They were mostly pairing up with one another and testing out their attacks on their partners. Minako and Mamoru barely worked at all and spent most of the time making out.
Minako thought that they could beat the Black Moon family without any training what so ever because they were better than those two.
Ami disagreed, "Please Mina-chan, Mamo-kun, train with us so we can be strong enough to beat that traitor and her evil love. You have to train if you want to get stronger you know.
She looked imploringly at the two who just laughed at her, "Silly Ami. We can beat those two any day. I mean the Rubius in this time couldn't even kill me so why should we be worried about the Rubius from our time who isn't nearly as strong as his future self?
Rei looked over at her leader, pausing her attack, "I think, Mina-chan, that if he wanted to, he could have burned you into nothing and then where would we be? We would be without a leader! So come over here and train with us!
Minako whipped around to glare heatedly at Rei, "Are you saying that I'm wrong? Are you questioning me? Well? Are you!?" Minako had backed Rei against a wall and was holding her up by her shirt.
Rei grinned nervously shaking, "No, not at all. It was just a suggestion. You know, just in case the two of them get really strong in the time that they trained.
Ami agreed, "Right. We're not saying that they can beat you, Mina-chan. We just want to be prepared. Is that okay?
Minako sighed and looked over at Mamoru, waving him to her, "I guess you're right. Just in case a miracle happens we should be prepared for anything. They might just get really strong and kill us all and we want to be able to fight them off.
Makoto smiled at her golden haired leader, "That's the spirit Mina-chan! Get really strong so we can end the entire fight in just a few minutes and we can go home as soon as possible! And you'll be Queen of the Earth Mina-chan. We'll make sure of it, won't we girls?
The other scouts cheered for Makoto's speech and Minako smiled happily, "See that you do. we need to get Usagi away from the throne!
Meanwhile, Bunny and Rubius were working hard on getting their own act together and were too busy to notice the servant who ran up to the king and queen to speak to them.
Usagi's eyes narrowed evilly and F. Rubius looked rather amused when they heard what the servant had to say.
As it was, that servant had been listening to the scouts conversation and had given what he had heard to his masters.
After the servant was dismissed they both called their students in to tell them what they now knew. Bunny thought it was evil of them to plot something like that and Rubius just thought that Minako was funny.
"That backstabbing little worm, all of them! The least they could do is show a little respect for the people who could kick their butts halfway around the world and back!" Bunny fumed. She stopped for a minute and looked at Rubius who was about to fall over laughing, "What's so funny buster? It better not be me you're laughing at!
Rubius stopped laughing long enough to explain, "I'm just laughing at the fact that Minako thinks she's so good that she beat us even after she got blasted twice! The there's how the other scouts suck up to her! It's about the funniest thing I've ever heard!
Bunny thought about it for a moment before she started laughing too, "You know, I think you're right! That is funny!
F. Rubius smiled at the two of them in amusement as they both doubled over with laughter at the images. He glanced over at his wife and noticed very quickly that she was not finding any of the situation very funny at the moment so he hatched a plan to make it seem funny.
With am evil smirk and a wicked gleam in his crimson eyes, F. Rubius slid over to Usagi and whispered something to her. Usagi's eyes got wide and she stared at her husband in shock for a moment, going over what he had said over and over in her head.
Suddenly, Usagi smiled and began to laugh even harder than Bunny and Rubius if that was even possible. F. Rubius just smiled when they looked over at him with questioning looks on their faces and seemed very pleased with himself.
"Okay you two. Back to your training now! You've got to train if you want to beat those scouts!
Bunny glared angrily at f. Rubius, "What do you mean if we want to beat theme!? Of course we'll beat them! They probably can't even beat Usa if she had one hand tied behind her back!
F. Rubius smiled and nodded, speaking soothingly to the angered princess, "Of course they can't beat you but don't you two want to go home as soon as possible? To do that you must beat the scouts as fast as you can and before they can do anything!
Rubius nodded in agreement, "You're right. Bunny, if we train really hard, we can beat their butts before they even know we moved! They won't know what hit them!
Bunny smirked happily at the thought of the scouts training so hard for the upcoming fight and then losing before they even started to attack.
She found it quite funny and snickered to herself as she followed Rubius to a clearing in the nearby forest where they could train without interruptions.
Rubius got in a fighting stance in front of her and Bunny prepared to throw up her shield she had been working on.
Rubius gathered his power together slowly and watched the way Bunny moved. he had to make sure that he knew every move Bunny might do so he could follow her at all times and not hit her when she moved around and he fired fireballs.
Later that day they returned to the palace, happy that they had gotten everything down, just like they needed to. they were praised greatly by their mentors and told to rest a few days before the fight started so they would be completely ready.
Neo: Finally! This chapter is done! It took forever but it is done!
Rubius: It's about time! Please read and review.
Neo: Another thing, someone is going to be joining Bunny, Rubius, and Usa in the fight against the scouts. The first to guess correctly will have the next chapter dedicated to them! Ja ne for now!
