A Selfless Act Of Bravery Part 1

Previously on Sailor Moon and Princess Nine:

"Okay, everyone," Eternal Sailor Moon called. "are you ready to rescue Miss Hotta?"

"Yes!" the other sailor scouts chorused.

Eternal Sailor Moon then led the way to the stadium.

Back at the stadium, the monster that Koharu had become had started to attack her own teammates as well as the members of the Kisaragi Boys' baseball team.

"Hotta," Shinsaku Kido, the coach for the Kisaragi Girls' baseball team called out. "what are you doing?"

"Take this!" Koharu shouted, attacking her coach.

Ryo recovered quite quickly from Koharu's attack upon her.

"We need some help here!" Ryo shouted.

"Agreed," Seira said to Ryo. "we can't take another attack from Koharu!"

Suddenly, Eternal Sailor Moon and Super Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn all appeared to help those in need at the stadium.

"Okay, everyone," Eternal Sailor Moon said to Super Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn courageously. "we have a monster to recycle!"

"Who are you?" Yuki asked the nine sailor suited soldiers in amazement.

"We are here to help you." Super Sailor Uranus said to Yuki Azuma, the Kisaragi Girls' team's left fielder.

"Sweet dreams, Ryo!" Koharu shouted.

Koharu began to attack Ryo again.

"No," Super Sailor Mercury shouted. "take me instead!"

Super Sailor Mercury courageously jumped in front of the attack, took the hit, and fell fast asleep.

Now on Sailor Moon and Princess Nine:

Over at the stately Stanton mansion, a young 18-year-old man named Keiichi was studying for his college midterms in his bedroom, when he began to have a familiar memory from his past.

Within Keiichi's memory, it was during the Silver Millennium upon the Kingdom of the Moon.

Prince Darien was about to carry Lord Zoisite off to the Mercurian sleeping wing of the Moon palace when a voice suddenly called out to him.

"Hold it right there Prince Darien!" someone called out.

The Earth Prince still held the sleeping Lord Zoisite upon his back as he looked up at who had spoken to him.

"Amy! Neflite was true to his word! He did bring you back safely!" Prince Darien exclaimed.

"Yes and please set my sleeping lord down gently," Princess Amy told Prince Darien kindly. "for now... I will reawaken him."

"How will you do that?" Lord Jedite asked.

Lord Neflite thumped Lord Jedite in the back of his head because of his ignorance.

"I plan on playing my harp for him." Princess Amy simply answered Lord Jedite.

Lord Jedite just laughed in the face of Princess Amy who didn't think it was too kind to show her furious side around her friends.

But Princess Amara wasn't afraid of giving Lord Jedite the message.

"NOW YOU LISTEN HERE," Princess Amara yelled furiously at Lord Jedite. "WHAT AMY IS DOING FOR ZOISITE... SHE IS DOING OUT OF LOVE!"

Princess Amy began playing her harp, the hopeful but calming tune she played had the ability to not just make Lord Zoisite open his green eyes but it had a special secret ability.

The special secret ability of Princess Amy's harp was that it made everyone forget their feelings of anger and it worked with her heart so she could make others feel emotions besides anger and those associated with anger so Princess Amy could unlock the hearts of others not just with her own heart... but also with this particular melody she played on her harp.

The harp's magical music made both Princess Amara & Lord Jedite feel unafraid to cry and even unafraid to show forgiveness as the two of them embraced.

Princess Amy continued playing the mysterious melody until at last, Lord Zoisite finally opened his green eyes.

"Amy..." Lord Zoisite said huffing breathlessly.

"Take it easy Zoisite," Princess Amy said gently. "you do need to conserve your strength."

"Thanks Amy," Lord Zoisite said. "you are right."

Suddenly as the princess & the lord she loved were about to kiss, Prince Sammy showed his face in the throne room.

"Hi Honey," Prince Sammy said to Princess Amy. "there is a ball tonight and I am itching to dance with you by my side!"

"I am not your honey," Princess Amy said defiantly also telling Prince Sammy off. "and besides... your obsession with me is sickening!"

"You are just fooling yourself Baby," Prince Sammy said to the shy Mercury Princess. "we're going to the ballroom now!"

Prince Sammy grabbed Princess Amy firmly by her left wrist.

"Ouch Sammy! Stop it," Princess Amy commanded. "release your grip!"

"Not until you agree to dance with me!" Prince Sammy told his betrothed.

"All right! All right! You win! I will dance with you," Princess Amy told the prince she didn't wish to marry. "but one dance and that's it!"

"Just one dance?" Prince Sammy asked Princess Amy.

"Okay okay," Princess Amy said to Prince Sammy. "as many dances as you want with me!"

Prince Sammy knew that he would win the heart of Princess Amy thanks to his lasting determation, "That's what I had thought you said my beauty." he said to Princess Amy.

Over in the royal ballroom, Princess Amara came over to the refreshment table with Prince Seiya to find Lord Jedite munching on a toast point with cream cheese & anchovies on it.

"Oh my! Seiya! I think I'm going to..." Princess Amara shouted.

"No Amara! Hold it in," Prince Seiya called out. "hold your hurl in!"

"I shouldn't have drunk that entire bottle of Galactic Gush soda pop last night!" Princess Amara said as Prince Sammy & Princess Amy waltzed on by.

"I will take you straight to Queen Serenity's hospital wing so you can lie down Amara," Prince Seiya told his own girlfriend. "then I will come back in here to scold the daylights out of Lord Jedite!"

Prince Seiya then led Princess Amara out of the royal ballroom.

Oh poor Amara, Princess Amy thought. full blood male & female Uranians and Earthlings of Uranian descent have very weak stomachs! Jedite should have known by now that Amara easily gets grossed out by Martian eating habits!

Prince Seiya returned to find Lord Zoisite drowning his sorrow for Princess Amy in chocolate milk.

"Wow Zoisite," Prince Seiya said. "how many glasses of that stuff have you had?"

"Not too many." Lord Zoisite answered Prince Seiya in the middle of a hiccup while sobbing.

Prince Yaten was sitting next to the sobbing Lord Zoisite.

"He lies," Prince Yaten answered Prince Seiya. "that fool has had seventeen glasses of chocolate milk already!"

"Seventeen! Brother... I'm afraid someone will have to cut you off!" Prince Seiya told Lord Zoisite seriously.

"Not while my Amy is dancing with that jerk face from Hades!" Lord Zoisite sobbed bitterly with a slight hiccup.

"But Zoisite you are not even a prince," Prince Yaten said. "Amy deserves a prince!"

Prince Taiki came over to the buffet table to get a glass of orange juice for Princess Trista.

"Amy! My beauty!" Zoisite said now sobbing louder than ever before.

"THAT WILL BE QUITE ENOUGH OF THAT YATEN!" Prince Taiki scolded his comrade harshly.

Now it was Lord Zoisite who had made a resolution.

"I will protect Amy from that wicked Prince Sammy!" Lord Zoisite vowed while he stood up from his chair determinedly.

"Do what you must Zoisite!" Prince Taiki called out courageously.

Lord Zoisite rushed out onto the dance floor where Prince Sammy was still waltzing with Princess Amy.

"Zoisite," Princess Amy called out. "save me!"

"Just how in the galaxy did you awaken from your tranquil siesta anyway Rip Van Zoisite?" Prince Sammy of the Sun Kingdom asked now feeling more annoyed with the 16-year-old lord than he was before.

"You think you are so (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) clever calling me by nicknames that I don't think are so very (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) funny at all!" Lord Zoisite yelled at Prince Sammy.

"Jimminy you have a foul mouth," Prince Sammy told Lord Zoisite then turning to Princess Amy he added. "I hope you had your ears covered Pumpkin."

"LIKE I HAVE STATED TO YOU ONCE BEFORE," Princess Amy yelled furiously at Prince Sammy telling him off once again. "I AM NOT NOR WILL I EVER BE YOUR PUMPKIN!"

Now Prince Sammy was getting super furious with Princess Amy for the way she had talked to him.

"He will be going back into sleep mode... that is what you Mercurians call that? Right?" Prince Sammy asked Princess Amy.

"You Solarians always treat us Mercurians like machines when we are just as human as you are!" Princess Amy shouted at Prince Sammy courageously.

"Anyway... The time has come for Lord Zoisite to brcome Rip Van Zoisite once again!" Prince Sammy laughed wickedly.

"Oh no!" Princess Amy shouted beginning to break down and sob uncontrollably.

Prince Sammy grabbed one of Prince Darien's red rose bouquets.

"HEY KID," Prince Darien yelled at Prince Sammy furiously. "JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING WITH ONE OF MY RED ROSE BOUQUETS!"

Prince Sammy didn't even bother to answer Prince Darien's question while he changed the rose bouquet's color from red to black.

With the bouquet of Dark Roses of Endless Sleep in his right hand, Prince Sammy of the Sun Kingdom was now ready to put his devious plan into action so he could have Princess Amy all to himself through the night.

While Prince Sammy was trying to get Lord Zoisite to touch the poisonous rose bouquet that he had created, Prince Seiya was talking to Lord Jedite about his snack food choices.

"Jedite?" Prince Seiya asked.

"Yes," Lord Jedite asked Prince Seiya. "what is it?"

"Would you mind ever so terribly... not grossing my dearest Amara out when you eat next time... just try eating a snack that doesn't sound too sickening to Amara?" Prince Seiya asked Lord Jedite kindly.

"No problem." Lord Jedite said to Prince Seiya.

Princess Amara came back from Queen Serenity's infirmary just in time to witness something truly barbaric but at the same time, also witnessing an act of heroism.

"Touch the rose stems," Princess Amara heard Prince Sammy tell Lord Zoisite. "touch them I say!"

Just as Lord Zoisite was about to touch the thorny stems of the bouquet of Dark Roses of Endless Sleep, he had heard a welcoming voice calling out to him.

"No Zoisite," Princess Amy warned. "I do not wish for you to go under eternal sleep again!"

Princess Amy jumped in front of Lord Zoisite so as to protect him from the dark spell but Princess Amy herself ended up touching the thorny stems of the Dark Rose of Endless Sleep bouquet therefore falling under the bouquet's black magic.

"No," Prince Sammy called out. "anyone but my beautiful Amy!"

All of the other royalty & nobility at the royal ball had surrounded the now sleeping Mercury Princess.

"Amy did it... she really did it," Princess Amara & Lord Jedite said while sobbing their green eyes out. "and all for love... all for Zoisite!"

"Does that mean... Amy will awaken as a sailor scout... I mean she did save Zoisite after all?" Princess Serena asked Queen Serenity.

"No Serena," Queen Serenity said. "that's not exactly how it works."

"What do you mean Queen Serenity?" Princess Mina asked.

"There may be Mercurian blood coursing through Zoisite's veins... however... he is still only half Mercurian." Queen Serenity answered Princess Mina.

"Now I see." Princess Mina said to Queen Serenity.

"What must be done with little miss Sleeping Mercury over here?" Lord Jedite asked.

Princess Michelle shot a glare at Lord Jedite.

"Someone must take Amy to her tower bedchamber." Queen Serenity answered Lord Jedite with an extremely heavy sounding sigh.

"Allow me to carry Amy," Princess Lita said. "for I am the strongest girl here."

"But I am the fastest," Princess Amara said reasonably. "so I should be the one to take on this important task."

"Lita," Princess Michelle said. "you are acting like a total 2-year-old! Why don't you simply just let Amara handle the job of carrying Amy?"

"All right." Princess Lita sighed knowing she had been defeated.

After Queen Serenity tucked Princess Amy into her bed, Lord Zoisite looked longingly at the sleeping form of Princess Amy of Mercury.

"What is Amy doing?" Prince Darien asked Lord Zoisite.

"My prince," Lord Zoisite said. "you won't even believe me if I tell you!"

"Go ahead & try me." Prince Darien told his youngest lord.

"I think Amy is defending my honor in her sleep!" Lord Zoisite answered Prince Darien.

"Are you certain about that Zoisite?" Prince Darien asked.

"Triple certain Darien." Lord Zoisite answered without hesitation.

"Zoisite," Princess Amy shouted in her sleep. "I will always love you my Zoisite!"

"That is truly amazing!" Prince Darien whispered.

"Zoisite! My love," Princess Amy called out still in sleep. "please don't you leave me!"

Trust me Amy, Lord Zoisite thought. I really had no intention of ever leaving your side!

Lord Zoisite looked again at Princess Amy's face... she was still determined as ever to not marry Prince Sammy of the Sun Kingdom.

"What time is it?" Lord Jedite asked while yawning.

"It is 9:00 P.M." Princess Trista answered Lord Jedite.

"And time for the rest of you to follow the Mercury Princess's example and hit the sack." Queen Serenity said to Princess Serena & the others.

"No way Queen Serenity," Lord Neflite disagreed. "there is absolutely no way the rest of us guys are going to share a bedroom with Jedite without our earplugs in!"

"Why would you even need earplugs my Neflite?" Princess Lita asked.

"Guess if you can my lovely Lita." Lord Neflite said.

"Because Jedite snores louder than a motorbike's engine at night." Princess Lita guessed.

"Spot on Lita!" Lord Neflite said.

The very next morning at 6:00 A.M, Lord Zoisite awoke but did not even bother to take his earplugs out.

Oh Amy... my dearest Amy, Lord Zoisite thought sadly. I wish there was a way for me to awaken you!

Prince Darien was the first to wake after Lord Zoisite.

"How did you sleep last night?" the prince asked his youngest protector.

"Not too well." Lord Zoisite answered Prince Darien.

"Did Jedite keep you up all night with his snoring?" Prince Darien asked Lord Zoisite.

"No... not exactly." Lord Zoisite answered Prince Darien with a good long stretch.

"Were you thinking about your princess?" Prince Darien asked Lord Zoisite.

"You know it," Lord Zoisite answered Prince Darien. "I just wish I could somehow reawaken her!"

"Don't worry Zoisite," Prince Darien said gently. "you have a heart of gold."

"Do you really think so Darien?" Lord Zoisite asked scratching his head.

"I know so," Prince Darien said to his youngest lord. "and you should use that heart of gold of yours to reawaken that princess of yours!"

After breakfast in the dining room, all of Princess Amy's dearest friends gathered in her bedchamber to witness her being romantically reawakened by Lord Zoisite.

"You can do it Zoisite." Princess Hotaru said glancing at Prince Sammy with a kind of romantic interest in her eyes.

Lord Zoisite placed his hands upon the heart of Princess Mercury and began to sing in a familiar but long gone form of the language of Mercurian so he could wake his beloved Princess Amy.

"This cannot be!" Sailor Neptune exclaimed.

"How does he know how to speak Ancient Mercurian when it has been one of the solar system's long forgotten languages for centuries!" Princess Amara called out.

"I have no idea... and I'm the Sailor Scout of Time!" Princess Trista exclaimed.

Lord Zoisite continued singing to Princess Amy in the beautiful language of Ancient Mercurian.

Until at long last, Princess Amy had finally opened her blue eyes to see her true love's blonde hair & green eyed face smiling down upon her.

At the ball that evening, Lord Zoisite & Princess Amy were sitting on the sidelines happily watching the other couples waltzing on the dance floor... including Princess Hotaru of Saturn who had found herself romantically interested in Prince Sammy.

However, it was too bad that Prince Sammy was still betrothed to Princess Amy of Mercury because Princess Hotaru secretly wanted Prince Sammy's heart in the same manner that Prince Sammy already grasped tightly to Princess Amy's heart.

As for Princess Amy of Mercury & Lord Zoisite of Earth & Mercury... for now they were happily busy talking about technological inventions so they could improve the world they lived in.

Back in the real world, Katsuji Stanton went into his youngest brother's bedroom to find Keiichi, now transformed into Zoisite, standing up from his desk.

No way, Amy, Zoisite thought. there is absolutely no way that I am going to let you fall into the arms of Morpheus again!
