Chapter Fourteen

Queen Beryl was happy, Althea was treated to more power from Queen Meteria in order to accomplish the mission. Once more, they had locked onto the Guardian of the Doors to Elysian. It seemed his frequency had solidified for a moment. So they could get there before Nehellenia. Oh, life was looking much brighter, and yet, she still didn't have the Silver Crystal! Her Crystal Ball started to gleam in the background. Beryl narrowed her eyes at it before she was blinded by a bright light. Standing there in hologram form was Nehellenia, her eyes gleaming.

"Hmmm….still don't feel shivers when I see you" Nehellenia said, insulting Beryl. Beryl almost rolled her eyes as she approached the hologram form.

"Likewise" Beryl coldly said. Nehellenia chuckled darkly as she started to walk a little, small steps. Beryl noticed this and resisted the urge to smirk, Nehellenia was nervous, it was clear as day. The slight twitching around the corners of her eyes, her lips drawn into a think line and the thin vein that appeared on the side of her head. Oh Beryl was enjoying this.

"So, you killed Nero, I guess that makes us currently even. Pity for you I will kill the rest of your guards" Nehellenia said.

"You believe you will kill my guards, do you? Hmmm" Beryl walked up to Nehellenia, her hips swaying from side to side. Nehellenia narrowed her eyes on Beryl's form.

"Its seems to me my dear that you do not have much to say to me, why appear to me now after suffering a loss at my hands?" Beryl asked.

"You are right I suppose, maybe I enjoy seeing your hideous face" Nehellenia cackled. Beryl quirked an eyebrow, suppressing the inner rage that boiled from within her stomach.

"And you think I enjoy seeing you, you are wasting my time Nehellenia, what the hell do you want?!" Beryl snapped. Nehellenia smirked, shaking her head side to side whilst wagging her finger.

"Tsk Tsk, temper temper Beryl, I thought it was me who had lost. I should be the one angry, and yet, here I am" Nehellenia opened her arms out wide as if presenting herself. Beryl wished she was actually there, so she could send her staff right through the woman's chest!

"You are weak, I never saw it before but now I can see it. You're just a human, like Prince Endymion really. Your powers come from Meteria who is the real power. When the time comes, I will show you what real power is by taking Earths only power source and once I grip it in my hands, I will crush you with it. Then I will take the Silver Crystal" Nehellenia announced. Beryl's mouth opened and closed, anger coursing through her veins.

"You, you will never get the Golden Crystal! You forget, it still does not match the full potential of the Silver Crystal!" Beryl shouted.

"Oh, I know that but still, it can compete as Princess Serenity is not evil and never will be, her soul has always been pure, she will not last long against the coming darkness I shall enshroud her in. She will die in a darkness of my making, horrors beyond imagining will beset her, Ah, but you would be glad of it I suppose" Nehellenia waved her hand dismissively, pissing Beryl off.

"You won't get her, I will!" Beryl shouted.

"You'll need to make your mind up soon then" Nehellenia said, her eyes intense "You have just given me the link I need to get to Elysian, well done Zirconia. Good day to you Beryl, I'll see you again at your funeral!" and with that Nehellenia disappeared. Beryl felt cold as she started to shake. This was set up? Nehellenia had wanted to distract Beryl, to steal information from her?

"ALTHEA!" Beryl screamed out. Althea appeared, a new dark aura engulfing her as she bowed.

"Your majesty, I have locked onto where Nehellenia's dimension is, what do you wish me to do?" Beryl had not been expecting that. Although promising, she had more urgent matters.

"I will give you the coordinates to Marcasite, go to Elysian immediately and get Helios, bring him here and if you see Prince Endymion or Sailor Moon, bring them to me. Take Arran and Violet with you, failure is not an option, Nehellenia must not get what she is after!" Beryl commanded. A wicked gleam from Althea appeared as she disappeared to go and do her Queen's bidding.

"BERYL!" Beryl shook in fear as she heard the booming voice of Meteria calling her.

Mamoru found himself as Prince Endymion again, standing before Marcasite. Marcasite's eyes were golden this time. If Mamoru could see himself, he would see his own eyes were golden as he felt a power beyond anything he had ever felt before. Standing beside Marcasite was a young man with white hair and blue eyes dressed all in white.

"I am Helios, High Priest to Elysian and protector to the Golden Crystal. My prince, I am so honoured to see you again" Helios said in a calm voice. Now as Prince Endymion, he felt a wave of emotion for Helios. As he approached, his hands started to glow.

"That is the Golden Crystal forming, place your hands on your chest now" Marcasite ordered. Prince Endymion did so, without question. Suddenly, he felt very cold and then very hot. Bending over slightly, the glow grew brighter and brighter, blinding him for a few seconds before gradually receding, leaving him feeling warm. Standing back up, Endymion felt different, stronger, calmer. His senses were sharper and more entuned. He could feel everything around him. His hair, being picked up by an invisible wind made Endymion look even more of a Prince, more powerful and in control.

"They are coming here my Prince, you must protect the Golden Crystal at all costs. Helios must leave here immediately. I will open a door for you this evening, that is how long I can hold them off for" Marcasite said "I will await you, be strong my Prince, now is the time to ascend to your birthright" Endymion was about to say something but instantly felt a pull.

"Wait, where do I find this door?" Endymion called out.

"Don't concern yourself with that" Marcasite's farway voice reached out. Endymion blacked out after that.

Setsuna could feel this strange sensation washing over her. She felt disorientated.

"What is this?" Setsuna wondered aloud before suddenly finding herself standing in an open area, surround by mists.

"I am Marcasite, Guardian to the High Priest of Elysian and protector of the Doors to Elysian. It is truly an honour to meet you Sailor Pluto" Marcasite said, bowing as Setsuna got into a fighting stance.

"You are in a dream world and can not cause any harm here. I mean you no harm. We need your help" Marcasite said. Setsuna relaxed but only a little.

"With what?" Setsuna asked.

"Beryl and Nehellenia have found the locations to Elysian, my Prince has the Golden Crystal but the High Priest of Earth is still in danger. I need you to help protect him. You can reach here quicker than my Prince, I will entrust Helios to your care. I will send you the coordinates to my location, help Endymion and his Generals stand off against the onslaught" Marcasite said. Setsuna looked at Marcasite, her eyes wide and incredulous.

"Why should we? He wants nothing to do with us or my Hime, instead he will break her heart once she wakes to her true self" Setsuna felt aggravated as the words left her mouth. Marcasite shook his head, his eyes never leaving Setsuna's face.

"He is misguided in his views at the moment but he will come to his senses. If they gain Helios they will get the Golden Crystal and kill Endymion. Earth will fall and then how long do you think our galaxy will last for? I know your Princess would do anything she could to protect those who are innocent, she is a Senshi is she not?" Setsuna got back into a defensive stance.

"How the hell do you know that?!" Setsuna felt her blood boiling, she wasn't acting sensible and she knew it, but when it came to her Hime, sense sometimes would go out the window if she sensed any danger.

"I am a guardian with similar powers to you, I watch everything….it wasn't hard to surmise once you fully remember the Silver Millennium, I mean, there was no Sailor Moon" Marcasite spoke calmly, relaxed. Setsuna still kept her eyes hard but she nodded. She knew her Princess would be upset if she missed an opportunity to help protect Earth, no matter how Endymion felt.

"When?" Setsuna asked, with better control.

"Tonight, gather the Senshi and I will send a sign to you" Marcasite answered as the dream started to mist over. Setsuna looked around her, huh, how interesting.

Once out of the dream, Setsuna wasted no time in calling an emergency Senshi meeting. The battle was finally starting now.

The meeting began in the late afternoon, all arrived on time, even Usagi who had been dragged by Rei, constantly repeating in Usagi's ears.

"There is no way you're going to be late for this one". Once sat down at Setsuna's apartment, she told them everything they needed to know at that point, aside from Usagi's true identity. After twenty minutes of simply explaining what she knew, there was a deathly silence.

"I am not sure how far your memories have come but….do you remember your relationships of the past?" Setsuna had to get this out of the way.

"No….at least, I don't think so" Ami said. They all shook their heads, apart from Minako who wrapped her arms around herself.

"I remember snipets, I had something with Kunzite didn't I?" she asked. Setsuna nodded, not surprised in the least. There was a reason Minako was the head of the Sailor Senshi.

"You all had relationships" Haruka added, ignoring Setsuna's glare.

"What?! None of us agreed with it did we? But we didn't say anything, we didn't have a say in the matter because it was meant to be a secret, Michiru and I was always watching over Princess Serenity and of course, you all were with her" Haruka shrugged her shoulders as she didn't pay attention to the shocked expressions on the Inner Senshi's face.

"Haruka, that might have been too much too soon…a bit of a bomb" Michiru chastised.

"A nuclear bomb more like!" Rei snapped "So who was meant to be my lover then?" Rei folded her shoulders, her violet eyes blazing.

"Jadeite, the one with short blonde hair" Haruka provided, Setsuna slapped her forehead in frustration. Rei's eyes glazed over before she got up. Glaring at Haruka, she stormed out, not wanting anyone to follow her.

"Really, did you really have to do that?" Michiru asked in frustration.
"They have to all face up to it Michiru, we're at war with not one evil Queen but two! We have to protect Princess Serenity no matter what and maybe keeping away from distractions will benefit them. Endymion doesn't seem to have a damn problem with it" Haruka almost yelled.

"Indeed, he doesn't" Setsuna said darkly, again her voice laced with a silent fury. This was all his fault with his sense of justice. He was going to break her Princess's heart.

"OK, putting that aside, we're going tonight?" Ami said, trying to shake off the tension in the room.

"Yes, we must protect the High Priest at all costs….I also want to help Elysian's guardian, we can't simply leave him there" Setsuna stated. Haruka was about to say something but stopped. Makoto at this point had remained quiet. Her green eyes dialated, filled with a deep sadness.

"Nephrite….he killed me" Makoto revealed. Minako looked at Makoto, despair in her own eyes.

"I know it wasn't him but….he killed me when I couldn't kill him…I had the chance" Makoto was lost in her memories. They crept on her, taking her mind captive.

The skies were dark, darker than she had ever seen them. The ground was soaked in all kinds of fluids, not just blood but also spit and sweat. The fighting had been going on for hours now, swords clashing, shields being smashed, armour being ripped out and screams….the screaming of not just warriors, but women, children, young boys and the elderly. Her gloves and skirt were ripped, her boots felt tight and the sweat was also making walking difficult as her feet were slippery. She was sweating profusely but she never let up her attacks. Lightning bolt after lightning bolt she shot out at the soldiers of the Negaverse. Killing not just humans but civilians and soldiers from all planets joined in the Silver Alliance, even some from Kinmoku.

Her eyes stung from her recent crying. Sailor Mercury laid dead meters away from her. Her Sailor Fuku torn apart from a horrendous blast by Zoisite, killing her as he took his own dying breath from a strategic blow only Sailor Mercury could master. She froze his insides, particularly his heart and before her attack fully took effect, he had blasted her away with all his strength. Only once did his eyes flash in recognition before he died. Jupiter had cried out in real pain seeing the lifeless form of someone so dear to her. Far to the left side of her, Mars burned her way through, the guardian of War living up to her name. Venus was seeking out Princess Serenity whilst Queen Serenity fought off Queen Meteria. That's when she saw him, his eyes cold, un-feeling.

"Nephrite….why?" she didn't know what else she could ask him. He didn't hide his disgust as he raised his fists at her.

"You filthy alien, you will never take over our planet; we will be the most powerful! And you will die with your witch of a Princess!" Nephrite snarled. Jupiter let out a heartbroken sob.

"But I loved you!" she shouted with feeling. She held tightly to her thunderbolt, powering it up enough to strike a deathly blow. Nephrite threw his head back, laughing at her.

"And what do you want me to say? How could I ever love you, you're an alien, not a woman!" he shouted. Jupiter froze, her whole world crashing around her. That's when he did it, he sped up towards her and plunged a sword right through her stomach. Still in shock, she wasn't able to move away when he sent an electrifying jolt all over her body, dark energy seeping into her veins and spilling out from her eyes. He then pushed her to the ground.

"Die" he whispered. She couldn't do it….all this fighting…against the man she had loved so much. Her heart was shattered, broken.

"Please…." Her words went unheard as she took her last breath. She had died by the time Sailor Mars killed Nephrite, burning him alive where he stood.

"MAKOTO! YOU'RE NOT THERE ANYMORE, YOU'RE WITH US, WAKE UP PLEASE!" Makoto, still feeling a little dizzy looked down at a worried Usagi and Luna. There was something about Usagi's eyes, the blueness of it with a silvery tinge…. why did that provoke such warm protective feelings. Smiling lightly, Makoto rubbed the back of her head.

"Sorry, spaced out there didn't I" Makoto chucked nervously. Setsuna's gaze made Makoto realise she wasn't fooling anyone.

Rei had come back in, still upset. Setsuna knew Mars was remembering too, they all were. This had to happen, it just had too. Then Usagi walked out alone and Setsuna couldn't help but follow, telling Minako to stay where she was. Usagi sat down on the steps to the entrance, lost in her own world. Setsuna gave a sigh before she sat down next to Usagi.

"I feel so bad for them…those memories….so horrible" Usagi admitted.

"They are painful memories, what happened in the past is the reason Endymion and his Generals want to keep away" Setsuna said.

"But, that was the past and wasn't their fault, they haven't been taken by the evil this time" Usagi argued. Setsuna nodded.

"I agree but the past has a hold on them. It had a hold on all of us" Setsuna said. Usagi shook her head.

"I can't remember fighting in that battle….was I even there?" Usagi asked, clasping and unclasping her hands.

"Your memories will come back, give it time. You're a Sailor Senshi, we do not doubt you so do not doubt yourself" Setsuna answered.

"But I should remember something right? All I keep having is this dream about a young Prince, looking up towards the Moon….I guess the Prince in my dreams is Prince Endymion now" Usagi surmised, surprising Setsuna. Setsuna then felt this overwhelming sense of guilt. Usagi was growing up, having her childhood ripped away from her, her innocence being shredded. She truly hated the two warring Queen's and her anger towards Prince Endymion was at boiling point. He should be here trying to help her.

"Maybe your memories will come back when they are truly needed. Don't worry about it. Now come back in Usagi, we have to prepare" Setsuna stood to get up but Usagi remained seated.

"How could he be so heartless, I bet when the Moon Princess comes back she'll be really hurt….she might even feel he betrayed her" Usagi said suddenly, emotion permeating her voice.

"What do you mean Usagi-chan?" Setsuna asked worriedly.

"The Moon Princess would never give up on her love for him and yet he has! I just can't believe them, they think they are doing the right thing but for whom? They say its for Earth but its their own sense of guilt. What's going to happen after all of this, do we pretend like we don't know each other, carry on with our lives? Marry different people?" Usagi rubbed her forehead "I'm sorry Setsuna, I am just worried for the Senshi and their Princess….thats all" Usagi got up, stretched out her arms and then smiled at Setsuna.

"Let's go back in, we got a world to save" Usagi said, winking at Setsuna before going back in. Setsuna watched Usagi from behind, the feeling of dread spreading throughout her body.

Hi All,

Can't believe how long it has been since I have last updated any of my stories. Really sorry about that, still waiting for life to settle a little so I can really get back into my stories.

Thank you all for reading this story and supporting it, loved the reviews :-)

Now the Senshi know the truth about their relationships, sets up for what happens to their relationships later in the story. Mamoru will change but yeah, will be much later.

Hope this chapter is OK and thank you for your patience.
