chapter 7
Makoto transformed and joined the circle. Hotaru initiated the teleport as only she knew where they were going. They arrived in a desolate, ice covered place. The buildings all looked abandoned, even more so than those on Earth and there was no sign that there had been life before the frost set in. Hotaru leading them to a building and through an open door. Hotaru told rei to wake up Trista. Rei did as Hotaru instructed and they waited until trista sat up, blinking slowly. Her eyes moved across the room as though she did not quite believe where she was. She stood and began to move around the house, seemingly unaffected by the cold.
"I had thought it would be here, although I could not be certain." said hotaru
"Where are we?" asked Minako
"This was where she grew up, She lived here for eighteen years until Pluto was attacked, as the planet on the edge of the system it was always the most vulnerable. It was the very first planet of the alliance to exist, the first anywhere, in fact. trista had parents, of a kind, people who raised her, although she was older than they were. They were created as parents. She was eighteen when the world was ravaged, the alliance was new and untested. Selene's army did not reach it in time. She was the only survivor, although I don't believe she truly survived." said hotaru
"You think she died and then came back." said minako
"I think that it's more than likely. I can't know for certain, the Saturn of that time has long since passed beyond the midnight gate." said hotaru
They sat and shivered for what seemed like hours as trista looked at every single inch of the house and surrounding area. When she returned they looked away, pretending not to see the tears that sparkled in her eyes. it was as if she would never see this place again. even though she was happy to see it. while Minako and the others was happy to see her. but never this side of her. even though she was the reason to tell them to make the great freeze happen sooner. even though it was probably for the best. since crystal Tokyo will happen now.
"Come on, we need to get moving." said trista
"Where do we go now?" asked Rei
"to death city. bella's and spirit room to be exact." said trista
"Good, I was worried about her. Sailor teleport!" said Minako
they all were in a circle since they need to teleport to death city. They were hoping that she would be there. They materialized just outside of Usagi's bedroom. Minako pushed the door open and, only gasped they never had the chance to see what the house looked like in death city. even though they were wondering why she would end up here of all places. It was baffling to them when it came down to it. but whatever she felt to be ending up at. while they looked around outside the window of death city. It was creepy seeing it all frozen.
"oh. I was expecting it to be bella." said rei
"We shall free her next, do not worry. I think, however, that loki would prefer to be there when we do." said trista
"I suppose, go on then Rei." said Minako
The ice billowed around the room until Minako opened the window. even though they didn't know why loki would be found here. but whatever they found him. and he would want to be there to be with bella when they wake her up. since she needed to be the one to wake up the rest of the world. and take her place as neo queen serenity. It took only minutes until loki fell forward, coughing in between massive breaths. and it would seem thor was there and they released him next. while Minako and thor hugged to show they were happy to see each other.
"Welcome to the new world," said Rei
"What do you mean?" asked loki and thor
"The thirtieth century, welcome to it." said minako
"Where is bella?" asked loki
"She is safe, still in the department of mysteries, But you guys are in no state to go there now. We must return to the temple one last time." said trista
loki looked as if he was about to argue but a sharp look from trista made him stay quiet. thor snickered he like the time guarian sometimes. but he was happy to see his Minako though. They formed a circle around loki and thor and teleported to the capsule corp. even though it was funny how some of their friends and family was frozen. vegeta looked like he was about to strangle kakarot back. They huddled around the fire and shared the last few tins of beans.
"Question, why don't we go destroy the Voldemort Statue whilst it's frozen? Wouldn't that make life easier after the ice is gone?" asked makoto
"It wouldn't work, Voldemort has created a number of magical objects known as Horcruxes, each of them containing a portion of his soul, he cannot be killed until every single one of his horcruxes is destroyed. its highly illegal in the soul society. research an development has been trying to locat them and then toss them in the gates of hell along with voldermort." said hotaru
"Right, so why don't we go destroy them, kill snake man and then end the ice age?" asked minako
"Because we do not know what the horcruxes are or where they're hidden, part of the magic that protects them blocks them from my sight. and it would seem research and development as well in soul society." said Trista
everyone was shocked. thor and loki was not since they understood. while they didn't know what to do when it came down to finding them. they would have to work on that later. they have other stuff they need to do. like get everyone else unfroze. and then unfreeze the world. in which it was bella job to do that. but for now they need to gain loki and thor their strength since they need to be able to help out with that. well loki for that matter since he is their king.
"That, is some powerful shit." said thor
"To put it simply, yes." said hotaru
"I don't get how he became so powerful, none of the ministry wizards have anywhere near as much power as even the shitennou ever held. Why is he different?" asked loki
hotaru sighed and wondered where all the parts of his soul were hiding. if research and development couldn't find them. then it was going to be a hard task to find them. Maybe they could ask the Asgardian gate keeper if he was able to see where they were. they would have to think about that one. but for now they have other stuff to think about. like unfreezing the world. Hotaru was going to finish what she was trying to tell them. then they needed to go and hunt down the others and get then unfrozen. Hotaru looked at everyone who they have so far. She held a hand out before her and the silence glaive shimmered into being. She turned it over and showed them the handle.
"Voldemort himself is to start with an unusually powerful wizard, but there is more to it than that… The glaive was chipped many thousands of years ago, and that chip somehow made it to a shop in Knockturn Alley known as Bourgin and Burke. Lord Voldemort, or Tom Riddle as he was known then, worked in this shop for a time. He has this shard of the glaive and with it he is more powerful than any wizard ever has been." explained hotaru
"But surely he's still got nothing when compared to you, he only has a tiny portion of the glaive itself." said thor
"We have reason to believe that he's had help from… elsewhere." Said trista
"Elsewhere? what's that supposed to mean." said minako
"I cannot say too much… it has a lot to do with your future." said trista
"Fuck the future trista, it's the present I'm worried about right now." said Minako
Minako growled this was serous if voldermort has the chip of the silence glaive it was something to be worried about. loki sighed they could work through this. they have had the worst of the worst that they battled on asgard. and they are worried over a chip of the silence glaive. even though he knew that it was serious. but not to give up on the future for. thor arched a brow at his beloved and wondered what in the world was going to happen if they get that chip back from the snake man. even though they would have to worry about that later.
meanwhile the following morning
They left early the next morning at least they guessed it was early, it was hard to tell without any watches and the constant weather. They did not beat around the bush but teleported straight to the death chamber, encountering no resistance. There were three ice statues, bella, Ami and Michiru on the main floor, as well as a large amount on the outer edge. Aurors, Minako supposed. They could not quite see amara beneath the thick layer of ice that covered the floor. They moved slowly to avoid slipping and headed straight to bella's motionless form. Rei placed her hand upon the ice and within seconds bella was breathing once more. loki took hold of her, keeping her in his arms as she coughed and took her first breaths. She moved shakily to her feet.
"Did it work? Was the attack stopped?" asked bella
"Not stopped, just postponed." said trista
bella turned to look at Michiru who was trapped in a large column of ice, darkly beautiful, frozen in an act that could have destroyed the world itself. When the ice surrounding her was frozen, Ami slipped off the pedestal of ice she had been stood on and landed hard. bella rushed over to help her up and the two of them, barefoot and still in pajamas, moved wearily towards the others.
"Do we wake Ami first?" asked rei
"So how do we wake Michiru?" asked thor
"I will work with you this time, we must get her off this planet as soon as possible and the quickest way to do that is to take her to the space-time door. She can release the attack through there." said trista
Rei took trista's hand and they pressed their palms to the ice. It began to steam faster than any of the others had been freed, but it did not fall to the ground as water should, remaining in a column around the distraught scout. trista and Rei stepped forward into the water as it warmed until trista palm pressed against Michiru's arm. There was a flash of light, and they were transported to the door. It flew open as trista approached, showing them a barren landscape. She nodded towards Rei who moved back and let trista take Michiru through the door which slammed shut behind them. Rei never truly knew how long they spent on the other side of the door, for time can be twisted to the will of Sailor Pluto, but it seemed like only seconds. When the door finally opened once more, trista was supporting Michiru, who hung limply from her comrade's shoulder. Rei ran forward to help support her and saw through the door for the smallest of seconds. What had been dry and broken was now a stormy sea which roiled in eternal conflict. It would one day be known as the sea of tears on a planet far away from earth. The storms would rage until time itself came to an end. They headed back to the ministry and laid Michiru gently on the ice.
"Will she be alright?" asked thor
"Physically? Yes. Mentally, I can't say. I've never seen grief like it, and I've seen more than my fair share." said trista
"When she wakes we must remove the ice, Are you ready, bella?" asked trista
"Ready? for what?" asked bella
"This was the great ice, the freeze one thousand years long from which Neo Queen Serenity wakes the Earth, from which you wake the Earth." said loki
"Today is the day you take the first step towards the founding of Crystal Tokyo," Said trista
bella sighed and knew that it was time for her take her place as queen. but she wasn't expecting it after waking up freezing cold from the ice. it made her another 1000 years older now. while loki sighed and knew it was their time to take their places as neo queen serenity and neo king loki. he wondered if his father was watching this from asgard. He wondered if he was going to be proud of him. even though he explaind to him that he was not able to be king of asgard because he knew that he was going to be the king of another kingdom. He just couldn't tell him. because of the time guardian.
"You mean the whole planets been like this for a thousand years?" asked bella
"That's exactly what we mean, but you can make it almost as though this never happened. People will remember the cold setting in and the day you removed it, but the time in between will be nothing. The ice will not melt, as it did around you, but disappear." said trista
"And how do we accomplish that?" asked bella
"With the power of the silver crystal, the golden crystal and the powers that created the ice in the first place. The crystal should guide you." said Trista
Trista needed to make sure that bella understood how she was meant to do this. even though this was something that they needed to do. it was her destieny to do something like this. and it was time for her to take her place as neo queen serenity. and loki neo king loki. he was ready to take his seat as king of the silver kingdom. Trista knew it was wrong of her to have odin keep the information from him. but they needed to do it so they could have the future in place. it was something that needed to be done. bella sighed and knew it was time for her to take her place as queen. but it was not enough time to get her brain to catch up.
Nevertheless, she reached forwards and pulled the flimsy looking red goggles from the air, placing them carefully on the bridge of her nose where they rested without any trouble. She beckoned to Ami, who was also wearing goggles and headed to Michiru. Michiru moved very slowly, as though bent with age. When she finally opened her eyes there was none of the life that had always been there previously, only an empty sadness that seemed to consume all it looked upon. She did not bother to produce her goggles. bella smiled very tentatively and took Michiru's hand. Instinctively she reached out for Ami's hand and nodded at loki, who had produced a dark green mask that matched his uniform from somewhere, to finish the circle or square, as it turned out.
bella closed her eyes and reached inside herself, looking for the crystal that resided within her heart – she found it within moments and concentrated on it, feeling that the others around her were doing the same. Very carefully, she willed the silver crystal to move in front of her. When she opened her eyes, a crystalline flower hung in the air before her chest, as well as a golden crystal before loki and blue and aquamarine crystals before Ami and Michiru respectively. As she gazed into the crystal, she felt her fuku change very slightly, it had not changed when Minako had found her henshin as she had skipped the cosmos form, but now she knew without looking that her sailor collar now glistened the colors of the rainbow, as did her skirt. It was still her cosmos form, but now it was complete. Strands of silver light began to form between the crystals and slowly, very slowly, an image began to appear within the boundaries. It was an image of the Earth. As she concentrated, she watched as the ice began to fade and disappear, leaving only the whiteness at the poles. bella took a deep breath and spoke.
"My name is Serenity, Do not be alarmed. The planet has just awoken from a thousand years as an icicle…" said bella
"Serenity," said loki
"Oh alright then, from a great freeze, one thousand years long." said bella
An image began to appear in the sky, and no matter who looked up they seemed to be able to see five people looking down upon them. while bella was trying to make this broadcasting. and time for her to be able to announce to the world what was going to happen. It will take time for them to adjust to what was going to happen. and that there was only one king and queen of them. But for now, she was going to try her best to make them understand what had just happened. and that they were sleeping for a very long time. and that the world was about to be unfrozen. loki was proud of his beloved for taking on what she was meant to do.
"Using the power of my own silver crystal and loki golden crystal and the tesseract we have reawakened the world and everyone in it. It is the thirtieth century, and the age of Crystal Tokyo is soon to come. loki, Prince of asgard, will soon return to reclaim the throne that is his birthright, but do not fear. He does so only because we have seen the future and it is peace. This is not to say that there is no dissent, but the reign of Crystal Tokyo is one that is based around peace and that relies upon love. Please, stand with us and Crystal Tokyo will follow. Some of you, and here I look to Japan, may know me better as Sailor Moon and loki the god of mischief and lies. You may know from our work there that we, and our allies, only ever work for the benefit of mankind. And so I ask you, the residents of planet Earth, do you hear me?" announced bella
bella let go of Ami and Michiru's hands and looked at trista, who nodded approvingly. usagi turned to look at Michiru, only to see her walking heavily towards the motionless form of amara. She knelt down beside her, but her grief was beyond tears. The aurors, who had apparently also been transported elsewhere, apparated into the room around the scouts. After about ten minutes, once it had been established that there were no ministry fatalities, the aurors called for more wizards. When they arrived, most of them just stepped past the motionless form of Fudge, still lying at the top of the tiered seats after all this time, and came to help move the injured.
meanwhile a week later
Ami set down her quill with quarter of an hour to spare. Of course, the history of magic paper had been a doddle due to the official syllabus introduced by trista the previous year. She did not dare turn her head, but just by looking forward she could see that Minako and Makoto were also putting down their quills. Now that the scouts had been officially cleared of any blame for Voldemort's rise by the ministry, they had received far more than a little attention over the past few weeks. It did, however, worry Ami how quiet Voldemort was being, there had been no attacks since the great ice. Most of the news, both magical and muggle, was related to the visions in the sky, as well as recently found scientific evidence that there had indeed been a great ice although this only appeared in the muggle papers. professor Flitwick called time and waved his wand, summoning all their papers to the front of the room. He dismissed them one at a time and the students moved out of the hall in a chattering mob. They headed out into the grounds and sat beneath a large tree, there wasn't anything pressing for them to get on with in the castle now that exams and the quidditch season a very secure Gryffindor victory were over, but of course their thoughts turned straight away to the most pressing matters in their lives.
"So what do you think he's up to?" asked harry
"I don't know, He's just disappeared again. I thought now that there are actually huge ministry campaigns and stuff he'd make a move." said bella
"Who knows what's going on in that head of his," said sif
"That's strange," said Ami
they all was wondering where voldermort went and where he was hiding. it was as if he was trying to come to terms with something he never thought would ever happen to him. even though he didn't even know about the great ice and the sleep. but for now they were going to have to be on their toes. while makoto peering over ami shoulders to see what she was doing. it was something that she was looking at. but it seemed that there was something out there that wanted to kill them. and they needed to transform. They transformed and followed Ami as she ran across the grounds towards the quidditch pitch, where Madam Hooch was holding an extracurricular session for first years. They reached it just in time to see the droid bearing down upon them.
"Venus love me chain!"
The molten hearts swung through the air and wrapped around the things legs. Minako pulled with all her strength and the thing toppled, missing the students by inches. Harry sent a stunner at the droid, but it bounced back. he was wondering why the spells was not working. wwhile the others who was used to working with this sort of stuff. their attacks were hitting it. but not enough to kill it. while they continued to battle the droid. even though harry was thinking the whole time that the droids from star wards. but Minako smacked him in the head for that one.
"This is the point I wish there had been new attacks with the stronger forms," said minako
"I don't know about you, But I don't feel any new powers." said thor
"We don't need them! Mars flame sniper! Our old attacks are far more powerful than they used to be." said rei
She was right about the attacks. but they can't give up when it came down to it. they needed to fight until the very end. that is what they were going to do. while bella was sending every attack that she knew out and it was hitting. The attack soared through the air and cut through the droids arm. It screamed and began to run towards them. it seemed that the cero didn't agree with it. or kido. it must mean that who ever made them would of not known of the powers of the soul society. so that is a plus on their side.
"Jupiter Oak evolution!"
"Mercury aqua rhapsody!"
"Venus love and beauty shock! Now bella, get it quick!" ordered venus
"Silver moon crystal power kiss!"
Silver light burst from the end of her tier, which had materialized from nowhere, but her attacks were designed to be with her other powers. so, this was a plus on their side. and rammed into the droid, which shimmered and disappeared. while gulped from what he witnessed. even thor attacks scared the hell out of him. So, this was something that he was thinking. never piss these guys off since it was a very dangerous thing and bad for ones health when it came down to what these guys was able to do with powers.
"remind me never to get on the wrong side of you lot." said ron
"What are droids doing here?" asked bella
"We can't stay here, the droid was almost certainly after us, but it nearly got those first years." said ami
"Ami's right, the whole of the wizarding world knows we attend Hogwarts…" said thor
"So we leave, shame, really. I was getting fond of the place." said sif
"But… this means we can't go home either." said bella
Bella knew capsule corp would be protected. but they needed to move everyone out of there to a safe place. whoever is connected to her would be endangered. Bella worried about her children and her friends and family. even her annoying ex-husbands. while the scouts were thinking the same thing. they needed to get everyone they knew to safety. but for now, they needed to think of a place where they could hide everyone. the soul society would be good. but that would be the last minute. and death city as well.
"So where do we go?" asked Makoto
"You must collect the Shitennou, do not worry for your families, they will soon be safe, yours too, Harry, Ron, Hermione." said trista
"Why would my parents be at risk?" asked herrmione
"Ami, I would have thought you would have told them by now," said Trista
Trista sighed she was ashamed of ami for not telling them what would happen to their families. hermione was confused on what would happened to her parents. she knew snape would be ok. her beloved was a spy for the silver kingdom instead of Dumbledore. and so was draco since he is the soul mate to sif. narcissa was ok when it came down to things. and Lucius was starting to turn to their side since he didn't think he would be abandoned by the dark lord. so that is a plus for him to spy on them. they even payed for his bail money in azakban.
"I have, but I don't like it." said ami
"You don't have to like it, just accept that Hermione is as much a part of this as you are." said trista
"I'm just worried you'll get hurt, I noticed a little while back. Well, a long while back I suppose – before the ice, anyway. We started having the same dreams. Then in the department of mysteries the room that called to you was the room containing…" said ami
"Zoisite," said Hermione
hermione was not expecting this. and wondered when they were going to tell her that she was one of the four guards of loki. yes it took her a while to figure loki was possessed when he attacked new York. it took the avengers to explain that to her. but lucky they were on their side. while the warrior three well the rest of them was coming back to help out with the battles. but hermione was never expecting that she would be one of the people who would be apart of their powers. and the guard to loki. but she was proud about it.
"But come on , a female shitennou? This is just too cool. We'll outnumber the guys now!" chirped makoto
"Maybe that's not such a good thing," said minako
"Hmm… true…" said sif
"And the fourth Shitennou? Surely the more the merrier," said Minako
"I would not normally interfere in this way… but this is again the only eventuality in which you did not know by now who possesses the crystal of Jadeite." said Trista
everyone nodded to that one. but there was one more that they needed to find. and they didn't know who that was. but they had a feeling on who or whom might be. as they were going to have to search for it.. and who it was going to be. while Trista sighed and had a feeling it was the twins. since they gotten close to loki the quickest. even though that has happened in the past as well. but for now Trista was trying to think on what to do now. and where to go with everyone. bella looked to everyone and wondered what is next. they found another one and now there was one left. and wondered who the lucky bastard would be to get it.
"Go on then, who is it?" asked bella
"It is split." said trista
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked thor
"The crystal was damaged when Jadeite was conquered by Beryl in the moon kingdom. All the shitennou fought Beryl's control harder than even they truly understood, but Kunzite, Nephrite and Zoisite knew that they had to give in or else risk the shattering of their crystals, but Jadeite…" explained trista
"Was always a stubborn bastard," said rei
"Indeed. His stone broke into two pieces." said Trista
Trista sighed and knew that was going to be a interesting find. but for now they needed to think of who it was going to be. draco was the reincarnation of hailos. so that is why he was able to connect to them so easy. while Lucius finally gotten to their side. and was happy for his son. even though he wanted to change sides. but he was finally gotten the final push. but they have four spies for them that was a plus. even though Dumbledore would of wished for them to spy for him. even though he lost his main spy to them. but he thought it was for the best.
"So it is useless?" asked sif
"It is and it isn't, both halves of the crystal must be united for it to work, as one will have no power without the other." said trista
"So who has it?" asked thor
"I know," said Ron
"Well go on then," said Rei
"Fred and George. it'd have to be twins and they are, or were anyway, the only twins at Hogwarts except the Patils. I suppose it could be them, but I don't think it is." said ron
everyone nodded to that and knew it was right. since they were the first ones to get close to loki. and in the past he was the one who got close to loki. and then it was harry since he was the second one to do so. and the others followed behind him. narcissa was thrilled that her son was the reincarnation of hailos. and that was something she took pride in. along with Lucius after they explained to him what it meant. Lucius was a proud man to have a son with a important role in the silver kingdom. and a Asgardian soul mate. so yeah he was a proud man when it came down to the fact that his son was lucky enough.
meanwhile a few hours later
everyone went to fred and goerge shop since loki has been helping them out with their shop. and giving them tricks. not only loki there was others who was helping out with it. even bulma was as well. hat and clogs and so was research and development was as well. the Weasley twins was going to be doing rather well with the stuff they were given. well along with the stuff that was their own. but they knew that they were not going to turn down others products to help out their shop. and it seemed to be doing rather great.
"Welcome to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes! although if I'm not much mistaken you should all still be at school, not bunking off I hope." said goerge
"Don't be ridiculous George, these fine students skiving classes, whatever next!" said fred
"Ha ha, very funny," snapped ron
they moved further into the shop. they were looking for the two who was needed in all of this. and they needed to learn how to use their powers. since it was going to be needed soon enough. and loki was going to be the one who teaches them their power. since he was the one to teach them before. along with Frigga. since they were the two that needed it. and they were to deliver the apples that odin had sent for them and the others who are his son guards. but they haven't had the change to do that just yet. It was nearly closing time and as the last of the customers left, Fred moved into the room and locked the door.
"So, what brings you to our fine establishment, you clearly aren't here to shop." said fred
"No, that we most certainly are not, this would be easier if we could find somewhere a little more… serious to talk." said trista
"Come upstairs then, it's not too serious, but certainly more so than down here." said goerge
They headed up a narrow staircase and into a surprisingly plain sitting room. while the twins wondered what they were here to talked to them about. this must be serious for them to even be here from the school right now. Trista sighed and had to say they have a good business. but it was not for her. bella sighed and didn't know what to think of this one. but anything is possible. but she was reading their souls and they seemed to be the ones they were searching for. why didn't she do that before. it was as if they were there all along.
"We haven't gotten round to decorating yet, too busy downstairs. Drinks, anyone?" asked fred
"We'll be fine," said loki
loki assured him as he took a seat. while thor was wondering how they were going to take it. they have to learn their first lesson then they get the apple. bella, chewing her lip slightly, sat next to him as the others squished onto a sofa or else just gave up and sat on the floor. trista remained standing. the twins was looking at all of them and wondered what they wished to talk to them. as they thanks loki again for the stuff he things he has been offering to them. even though he didn't need the money. he just told them to go and do what they will with them. and that would make him happy.
"So, I ask again, to what do we owe the pleasure?" asked Fred
"You are a shitennou," said trista
"Hmmm, isn't that the title Ronniekins got earlier in the year?" asked fred
"Shut up," said Ron
"It is the same. It is also the title bestowed upon Harry, Hermione, yourself and George." said trista
"And what does being a shitennou mean, exactly?" asked George
"It is an ancient post, I don't know exactly how old, but it has been suggested that the Shitennou even outdated the asgardian royal family." said loki
loki was trying to make them understand more to what their roles are to this. he had a feeling they were but he was not able to tell since he was not sure when it came down to when he found all of his warriors. basically the shitennou is his warrior three. but for now he needed to go into detail what he needed for them to do. and make them understand that this is serious. and molly would have to get over it when it came down to her children being reincarnated shitennou. hell Lucius and narcissa was basically gushing over draco being the reincarnated hailos. one of his other guards and steed.
"I'm guessing that's impressive?" asked George
"Quite, yes. It is, however, somewhat more complicated than it should be." said loki
"How so?" asked fred
"Traditionally, there are only four shitennou." said loki
"Sorry, Ronald, bugger off." said George
loki snickered from that one. he knew they were only messing around with their brother. he and thor are the same way. but for now not the time to be joking. they needed to get to the point. ron huffed from annoyance when it came down to the fact that his brothers was being jackasses. while some of the others was snickering. they love it when they were joking around. while bella sighed and knew that this was not the time to be joking. but it was rather silly. and when it was at rons expense.
"I swear if you don't shut up…" said Ron
"You'll what?" asked fred
"I don't know, something…" said ron
ron sighed and moved to sit back down only to find that Minako had pinched his seat. She blinked innocently up at him and pointed towards the floor. He grumbled and sat down. while thor looked at him and knew that he was not going to ask for his seat back. so he took another seat. while the twins sighed and knew there was more to this. and there was more explaining. so they let loki continued on. since loki knew more of this than the two of them. while they found that harry and ron and hermione was one of them.
"So, how come there are five this time? So you mean that as a technicality, me and Fred only count as a single Shitennou." said George
"I feel cheated, only half a crystal?" asked fred
"Yeah there's definitely a lacking in the fair stakes here," said George
"Add to that the fact that Jadeite has often been the least powerful Shitennou in the past…" said Minako
Minako was not even thinking about blurting out what she has said. and this is why she and thor are soul mates since they don't think about what they say before they speak sometimes. thor was happy Minako was his soul mate. yes he did love jane and still does. but it didn't match up to what he felt for Minako. even though jane is pissed that she was not the soul mate. and that it was Minako. but Minako leaving the sentence hanging. Fred and George were mortified.
"That's enough of that, Minako," said trista
"What? It's true." said minako
"Yes and Zoisites and Nephrites throughout time have also been less powerful than Jadeites." said trista
"But not Kunzite?" asked Harry
"No, Kunzite is always the strongest of the shitennou, from what I've seen I think that's the only reason half of them ever managed to maintain some sense of control." said loki
"That's definitely what it was like in the moon kingdom, Jadeite was always challenging Kunzite for the leadership." said thor
"And always getting soundly beaten for it," said sif
the asgardians laughed from the memories of what was going on back in the day before endymion kidnapped them and brainwashed them. that was something that they were never expecting. they were just as bad as the warrior three. even though they were friends with them as well. fellow warriors and guards to their princes. and hailos was a challenging one as well. but he was kidnapped and brainwashed as well. but now he was ok. even though fred and goerge never knew that draco would be the reincarnation of hailos.
"Pluto cosmos power."
very suddenly. Shocked more than anything else, bella did as she was told. trista did not shout the phrase, but murmured it, allowing her fuku to form without drawing too much attention. She moved towards the window and looked out. There was something going on. and it was not good if she was acting this way. while the twins were wondering what was going on. its as if there was something bothering the time guardian. as if something they have been working on has suddenly been destroyed. Trista sighed she had failed. They failed in doing what they needed to. she thought it was going to happen. but it seemed something had changed since she last saw what was going to happen to cystal Tokyo.
"The timelines are shifting, something has changed. Something I could not see. There is darkness, and Crystal Tokyo is no more. I am sorry princess, I have failed you." said trista
And then the window exploded inwards. They transformed without a second thought and as loki's uniform shimmered into being so did those of the shitennou. Hotaru shouted over the sudden roar of wind as black figures began to apparate into the room around them. Usagi brought up the crystalline shield around them, shielding them from the curses of the deatheaters as her allies sent stunning spells at each of them.
"There are too many of them! we need to get out of here!" said sif
"How? We can't use the teleport without them following and no one here can apparate." said bella
"Use the time gate, or the soul society gates, where's trista gone?" asked makoto
"Damnit, she wouldn't have failed if she'd only stick around," snapped loki
loki roared as deatheaters neared her shield. There was a flash of light and trista appeared, protected by bella's sheild, dragging Michiru through the time gate with her. trista was pleading with Michiru, who was a wreck. Her usually pristine hair was tangled and it looked as though she had not touched her make up since the day they had said goodbye to amara. Michiru turned to look at the deatheaters and her henshin faded into being around her. For one last time, Michiru Kaioh was a vision of perfection. Those great wings of water raised appeared once more, raising her from the floor of the apartment, and she began to sing. It was the song of the sea, a violent, tragic melody that awakened her power in it's most deadly form. bella screamed, horrified, as she saw what was happening. Any control Michiru had over her abilities had snapped and her emotions were in charge. One by one the deatheaters fell until, at last, they were gone. Michiru turned to look at bella who found that she could see right through her. Michiru was no more.
"She used all of her power to destroy those who were attacking you, she's bought us some time, but I cannot say how much, the timelines are broken, something has happened that was not meant to be. This is the reason I pushed you to attend Hogwarts in the first place, to prevent just this. I can only see the very near future." said trista
"trista, it's not your fault, no one expects you to be right all the time." said sif
"I do, I have to be, The future lies in tatters… Michiru has always been present in every eventuality of Crystal Tokyo, but her death was the only way anyone else could have survived." said trista
"For now, just come with us, we need all the strength we can get." said bella
"Very well, Harry, Ron, Hermione, I want you to return to Hogwarts, the droids are after the scouts and Dumbledore can prevent deatheaters entering the castle. Fred, George and loki and thor, you should join them, they will need the power of the golden crystal and the tesseract ." said trista
Usagi smiled sadly at loki, whose jaw had clenched at trsita's words. thor was not thrilled either. but it was something that they must do. sif was offering to stay as well. they needed all the help they could get right now. while the twins groaned they didn't want to go back to school. but they have a feeling it would be because of the training that they would be getting. and this would protect them from the droids and the deatheaters. while they needed to watch over draco as well. who has been getting training already..
meanwhile with everyone else
Trista moved the wall in capsule corp it was the safest place they could even stay right now. while they waved everyone to follow. vegeta sighed they have to go into hiding. bulma built this room for protection. and now it was finally being used. it has great many rooms. and everyone who was hiding out here will need a room. Minako and thor can share one. and bella and loki share one. since they already do. while the sword spirits was going to be over in the soul society. while the others from the soul society was here was hiding out with the rest of them. Hermione looking down the large staircase that revealed there to be many levels. this is capsule corp so what can you expect.
"It is impressive," said Hermione
"Well it will make a nice change for there to be room enough for everyone, Where's the kitchen? I'll get dinner on." said molly
"I'll help, I can make some dessert." said chichi
Later that day, the rest of the Weasleys arrived. Bill and Charlie were to share a room until Fred and George who were now pushed in together left, while Ginny was put in the second vacant room. Once those who were going had left for Hogwarts they had the delightful promise of the company of Fleur Delacour who, Bill informed everyone but his parents who already knew, was now his fiancé.
meanwhile in September
September the first finally came and with it were painful goodbyes. loki was whispering how much he was going to miss his beloved. while holding bella close. They had managed to steal a moment alone, a rare thing with vegeta and king cold and mayuri around. bella had sneaked upstairs once everyone else was asleep, something she had become a master at during her time as Sailor Moon.
"But it's alright because we have the mirror. We can still speak." said bella
"Only every other week, once a month if trista gets her way." said loki
"Yes, well she doesn't want people really seeing the mirror, so we're going to have to do it secretly." said bella
"I promise. And there's always our dreams, remember? Our little secret."
He leaned and down and kissed her forehead gently. Where his lips made contact, the crescent moon symbol flared briefly into existence, reacting to the presence of the golden crystal and the tesseract. their powers always knew each other. plus, him jumping in dreams was no hard task for him. he just used it so he was able to be with his bella when he needed her. and when she needed him. even though they were able to do just about anything. and he means anything in the dreams. it was something his powers where able to do.
"I love you bella, more than ever, I think, I don't think this is how either of us ever pictured it, goodness knows it's not the way vegeta and your blood adopted fathers wanted me to do it…" said loki
bella breath caught in her throat, could this possibly be what she thought it was going to be. loki reached into his pocket and drew out a small black box. one of the asgarardian jewels he loved so much. he wanted to give it to her for the first silver kingdom but it was to late. He drew back to take in her face, the excited, nervous anticipation in her eyes. He did not get down on one knee, but merely took her hands and placed the box into them, cupping them in his own. as he asked her to marry him. and she said yes. The ring was simple. A gold band set with a single, large emerald with sapphires around it. Tears formed in her eyes as she gazed down upon it and she snapped the box closed. She placed it upon the bedside table and kissed him hard. He returned it and for a moment it was as if there was nothing else in the world.
meanwhile a month later
rei into the mirror Sirius had provided which had been magically enlarged and fixed in the control room. while bella was waiting for her turn. but things has been getting bad when it came down to what was been going on here. but they didn't want to worry anyone that was around. even with the fire power they have with their allies. and Lucius trying to keep up with the spying. the dark lord never knew he would not be able to see the malfoys memories with the gift they gave them. he would never find out it was lunarian magic hiding memories they didn't want him to see.
"Fleur is driving everyone nuts. She can't understand why everyone seems more bothered about bella's wedding than hers, even though well over half the people in the house know bella better and most of the other half doesn't want her to marry Bill. Actually, the only one in the whole house remotely bothered about the whole thing is Minako, who swears that it's true love." Said rei
"Sounds like a bucketful of laughs. And anyway, I'm very lucky thank you very much, so lucky I won a bottle of lucky potion in potions. So, any new droid attacks?" asked harry
"Just a few. They seem to be following the same pattern as all the creatures we've fought in the past, randomly attacking Tokyo in an attempt to drain energy. We think someone's trying to figure out where our base is, so we've given them no reason to suspect it's down here. bulma would kill us if it destroyed or targets her house." said rei
harry nodded he seen that house. it was something that he was never every expecting. he didn't know someone could own a home like that. but he always seen bella other houses. and that was something he didn't expect either. but then again It was something that when you lived as long as bella then you get to have that many houses. rei sighed and wondered if they were ever going to get a break in fighting. since it was something that she wanted badly.
meanwhile in December
bella leapt at the not too surprised Asgardian ice giant prince as the door to the control room opened, as she hugged and kissed him to let him know how much she missed him. it was not hard to see that. since she didn't need to use the mirror since she and loki has their own way to talk and see each other. and that is ok for her and loki. since they can just do about anything in the dream. loki can just be anywhere when he used his power to enter dreams. even though he has been helping harry with his dreams when it came down to his powers. and harry has been grateful for the help that loki has been giving him. since he had a hard time doing it with snape. loki is a lot more better in doing things than snape. plus he was gifted the same this as the malfoys. loki swung her into his arms and carried her down the stairs into the house while the others looked on in a mixture of sickness at the sweetness of the whole thing and jealousy. Rei smiled at Harry and beckoned him over to the control panel she was working on.
"I've missed you to, bella. What are you doing now then?" asked loki
"Still trying to trace the droids, there's been absolutely no pattern in the attacks and they're never accompanied by whoever it is controlling them." said bella
"Huh. Has Ami been able to work anything out with the console yet?" asked loki
"No, nothing. Almost five months work and nothing to show for it. Although it's been quite funny to watch all the muggle leaders debating what to do about Prince loki if he ever shows up." said bella
"I still can't wait to see Ron's reaction to the telly, especially after his reaction to the computers." said loki
bella snickered on that one it was going to be rather silly. but for now she was wiping the grease off her face. she was filthy from the work she was doing. lucky she knew what she was doing. she is a genius after all. the avengers are there now. tony has been trying to do his best to help where it is. and the help was needed. it seemed that they can fight the droids. and that was something that they were very happy about that they could help where it counted.
"It'll be something that's for certain. Oh my God, you should have seen trista on Makoto's birthday!" chirped bella
"Why?" asked loki
"Well we were celebrating and Molly asked trista to grab something from the cellar…" said bella
"She's not so intimidated anymore?" asked loki
"Well trista's a lot less intimidating these days, actually. It took a while, but I think she's much more in the present now than she ever has been, even in our fourth year. I mean then she could not see the future surrounding the wizarding world. Now the whole things gone up in smoke." said bella
bella snickered from what she was telling loki. he was laughing at that. he never knew that she was not able to be afraid of something. and it was spiders. and it was also something bella was afraid of as well. but the time guardians was afraid of something. while rei and the others came around and see that loki was there. since thor and Minako are in the middle of making out with each other. since they are engaged as well.
meanwhile a month later
Christmas Dinner was more than a little impressive that year. What with the combined efforts of Molly, Makoto and bulma, and chichi, it was a spread that would have put the chefs in the moon palace to shame. Mrs Weasley had whipped up a superior first course, complete with all the trimmings while Makoto and chichi and bulma had worked together on the dessert, a cake easily large enough to serve everyone and leave leftovers, a difficult task considering who was at the table. The main source of hilarity through the meal was the necklace Ron had received from his girlfriend, Sirius had made a point of showing everyone early in the day. Everybody burst out laughing, a theme that did not fade until they were sent to bed by the united force of everyone's parents.
meanwhile a month later
When they finally made it through the gate, they arrived to complete pandemonium. People were fighting everywhere, and they were immediately separated and swept up into the battle. bella found herself fighting a masked deatheater and worked to maintain her shield as Makoto, the only scouts still with her, fired spells at him. They had been there only the moments when they saw Snape emerge from the steps to the astronomy tower with Draco Malfoy, pursued by a crowd of deatheaters. He shouted something and ran, dragging Malfoy along with him.
"Harry!" shouted rei
Rei shouted as she saw him tearing down the stairs to the astronomy tower, his shitennou uniform flaring into existence as he ran, now complete with a short sword hanging from the belt. He didn't seem to hear her but began to run, tearing after the deatheaters who had bowled through the fighters. She ran and caught up with him easily.
"Harry what's going on?" asked rei
"Rei? Snape killed Dumbledore." said harry
"What? Harry are you sure?" asked rei
"Yes I'm sure! I saw it, I saw the bastard do it, He used the killing curse and then… and then Dumbledore fell." said harry
Rei did not speak further but ran with Harry as he dived through shortcuts to the entrance hall. They came to a corridor full of running deatheaters and Rei stopped, putting a hand in front of Harry as she summoned her power, A great phoenix of flame soared down the corridor towards the deatheaters who began to run. She panted, and they started to run again. They tore out of the castle and onto the grass and saw Snape and Malfoy running past Hagrid's hut. Harry, without really thinking, transferred his wand to his left hand and drew his sword, which was suddenly pulsing with red energy. They reached Hagrid's hut and Harry leapt into the air, higher than he had ever thought he would be able to and landed the other side of Snape and Malfoy. As he landed, his uniform changed. Rei skidded to a halt, it was no longer black, but now identical to that of the Kunzite she had known previously, only that the accents were red. Snape raised his wand and pointed it at Harry, blasting him onto his back, but he clambered straight back to his feet.
"Crucio!"
a jet of light flew past Rei's ear and Harry shouted something, possibly jeering at Snape, but Rei was barely aware of the seeming argument the deatheaters were having., rei running forward, Someone aimed a curse at her, but something deflected it. As she ran, Fawkes flew down from the air above and without thinking Rei raised her hands above her head as Fawkes began to sing. Her skin began to shine, before it became flame. As she ran, she was lifted from the ground and for a moment a giant, beautiful phoenix flew over the deatheaters and Harry, before the fire zoomed into a small, compressed space and was released in a single, earth shattering explosion. Rei slipped gently down to the ground, her fuku gone, replaced by a new, short red dress, split at the front by a section of light pink, topped with an ornament decorated with the wings of a phoenix, leading to similarly shaped shoulder pads. The sign of Mars glittered on her neck as her new, beaded tiara formed. As her feet, now clad in slender high heeled red sandals, touched the ground, the fires went out. Around her deatheaters groaned as they tried to stand, but the two they had really been after had already gone. They headed slowly back towards the castle, joined on the way by Hagrid.
"What's happened?" asked hagrid
"Deatheaters, there were deatheaters at Hogwarts. And Dumbledore's… Dumbledore's…" said harry
"Dumbledore's what?" asked hagrid
"He's dead." snapped rei
"What? No, Dumbledore can't be dead he…" said hagrid
"I saw it, Hagrid, I saw what happened. Snape killed him." snapped harry
rei sighed she knew that snape didn't do it for the reason harry thought it was for. but right now, she didn't know if she should even tell harry about that. He didn't know that snape spied on them either. hell, he knew that draco and his mother did. but not Lucius. They try to feed information to harry as much as they could. but they must do it at the right time. because sometimes he has this temper and didn't want to believe them. hermione knew of what snape was doing. but she was told not to tell anyone. but now their relationship is going to be hard. so that is why they showed snape to do the spell loki showed him how to use. to show himself to hermione without even being there. harry growled how could snape do something like this. sure he understood Dumbledore was a mentor or a father figure to him.
"Harry I know you've always had it in for Snape but you shouldn't say something like – who's that there? You don't suppose someone was pushed, do ya?" asked hagrid
"Not pushed, knocked back by the killing curse." said Rei
rei and Harry sped up to keep up with hagrid. and rei needed to make sure that harry didn't do anything stupid. and that is something harry was known to do when he was like this. plus hagrid knew that snape was a spy for the silver kingdom. Harry knelt beside the motionless form of Albus Dumbledore as Hagrid let out a low moan. Rei watched as Harry pulled what looked to be a golden locked out of Dumbledore's pocket. She lead him towards the entrance hall, where they saw Fred and George, both in their shitennou uniforms, heading towards them.
"Come on Harry, there's nothing you can do for him now." said rei
"How is everyone?" asked Harry
"No deaths on our side as far as we know, but Moody's out cold and Bill… Bill got attacked…" said fred
"But it's not the full moon! how is he?" asked harry
the twins sighed and knew that it was not the full moon. but he was attacked. and now they didn't know how this was going to work for him. even if his soon-to-be wife was going to accept him for what it was going to be now. harry sighed and didn't expect to hear about this. even though they were bringing a knocked out vegeta and a few others on their side. but for now, they were worried about the bill. They knew the others had worst injuries than that. so, they would be fine. while bill got attacked by a wolf. the volturi and other vampires are grumbling about the wolves and wanting to kill them. since they are their enemy
"He's gonna be scarred for sure-" said George
"But Lupin doesn't think he'll be a proper werewolf." said Fred
"Mum and Fleur are having a soppy moment right now, so watch where you step."said George
They headed into the hospital wing to find that there were more than a few people there already. along with others who was around their own side of the hospital wing. even though there were injured and hurt powerful beings in there. while their mates and wives are around them. szayel sighed and didn't know what to tell harry since he didn't know if he would take it well. he made sure that molly would not say anything to make harry know. since it would blow things out of the water for them. They needed to know information about what was going on the other side of the war. and snape and the malfoys are going to be those people.
"We just need to wait until Albus gets back, he was away this evening on business," said McGonagall
"He won't be coming back," said rei
There were gasps throughout the room as the truth was heard and Madam Pomfrey had to conjure a chair behind Professor McGonagall so that she didn't fall over. bella tightened her hold upon loki's hand and trista looked sharply at Harry from where she stood by the window. hermione sighed she loved snape and she cant let harry and ron in on that he is a spy for the silver kingdom. Dumbledore let him go so he was able to spy for the powerful side of the war. and he knew he would be more useful for them than him. but they share information with each other.
"What is it, trista?" asked McGonagall
"Earlier this evening, right before we came to Hogwarts. The threads of time are all frayed, but for a moment, they all pointed towards a single moment, about twenty minutes ago actually, and for a moment I saw Crystal Tokyo." said trista
"Does that mean if Dumbledore hadn't died Crystal Tokyo would have been restored?" asked bella
"trista, would you join the heads of house in the headmaster's office in ten minutes?" said McGonagall
"Of course," said trista
"Potter come now. Poppy, tell Hagrid that he too is to go to the headmaster's office when he arrives." said McGonagall
Madam Pomfrey nodded to say that she would. trista indicated for the scouts to follow her out of the room and they filed out, bella taking loki with her. loki looked to szayel who only nodded and knew what he had to do. he would give harry something to help him sleep. szayel knows what he was doing. bella sighed and knew that harry would never understand why snape is spying in the first place. in which harry mother was not snape soulmate. its hermione. but with harry the way he is hermione and snape relationship is going to be tricky. but for now it was time to figure out what is going on with the timelines. and see why crystal Tokyo was showing now.
"I think what we can learn from tonight is that Crystal Tokyo is still very much a possibility, or not events went our way tonight, which I cannot but think that they did not, we know that the times ahead are very changeable and that we can shape them to our advantage." said trista
"But without Dumbledore how's Harry gonna know what it is he needs to do?" asked Minako
"Dumbledore's already told Harry everything, I think," Mamoru said as they stopped outside the room of requirement. When Ron's powers are strong enough he can ask the stars for their knowledge as well."
they all knew what they needed to do now. and they needed to keep harry on the right track. while Trista needed to go and have a talk with snape and explain and give him a few things so he was able to keep in contact with hermione and the others. while bella went to the soul society to meet with albus and take him to her manor there. she needed to make sure the information is in that he was going to be with grandpa yamamoto. since the two of them are best friends. with he was going to be given a body and then stay at capsule corp when he was ready to leave the soul society.
meanwhile a few days later
The cold expanse of the universe made for a lonely journey, but in the distance, Seiya's destination was already in sight. Exhausted from months of almost non-stop travel, the sight of the blue planet in the distance lifted her spirits immeasurably, dimmed only by her worry about what she might find there. She stopped very suddenly when she realized that someone was travelling beside her. Her unexpected companion stopped with her, as though she had seen it coming, and spoke.
"Seiya, I knew you would come." said trista
"Of course you knew," said Seiya
"The timelines have not been so useful of late, Come, my way is quicker." said Trista
trista took Seiya by the hand and guided her through the space-time dimension and through into the Hogwarts grounds. Wizards were moving through rows and rows of chairs, obviously some form of event or ceremony had just finished. Glancing around, Seiya saw the newly erected marble tomb, and wondered who was killed while they were back on their home planet. she came here to help in the fight. but they didn't know someone died. she was hoping the others would come with in time. since they were probably going to be needed.
"Who?" asked seiya
"Albus Dumbledore, He died not two days ago. Come, we must find the others." said trista
They headed around the lake, picking up not only the scouts, but also the shitennou, along with friends and family. along with order members and Weasleys as they went. while everyone was catching up with everyone. while loki sighed he never was a fan of seiya because of the feelings she had for his beloved. but he knew he didn't have to worry about anything when it came down to her ever leaving him. they are meant to be. but he kinda grown to respect seiya for all the help her and her people has been giving them. well in battle that is. and if amara could like seiya and then he should be able to do so as well. maybe he could ask him mother on how to make friends with someone who has feelings with the woman who is yours.
meanwhile two months later
Sailor cosmos stood still for a moment, looking a bit stupefied, and probably would have been hit had not been for loki although his outfit looked different, who leapt in front of her and send his attack. creating a burst of golden light that met the droids attack and swallowed it. A boy in a silver and red uniform ran forward, brandishing a sword pulsing with red energy and succeeding in cutting off one of its arms before leaping back behind Sailor Mars again, a change of look who shouted,
"Mars flame sniper!"
The red arrow zoomed straight at the droid, which roared in anger and began to charge as a young girl wearing black and yellow raised a hand to the sky. There was a slight wind as cherry blossom petals began to form in the air before turning to ice shards as they flew towards the droid, splintering as they made contact with it's supernatural flesh. while their friends and family was fighting as well with them with their powers and attacks and weapons. even black widows weapons was working with the droids. while everyone was doing their part in the battle.
"This one's way stronger than usual, Mercury, have you got anything yet?" asked bella
"No, but I'm working on it. Just give me time." said ami
This confirmed that the girl in blue was indeed Sailor Mercury, although it was not the fuku the onlookers had expected. Two ginger haired boys moved forward, splitting to stand either side of the droid. They raised their hands into the air in unison as the air between them began to crackle with black electricity. The droid screamed, at least it sounded close to a scream, and reared backwards, knocking one of the twins for they could only be twins backwards and causing the attack to halt.
"Dead scream."
The power whipped into the droid and blasted it towards Saturn, who swung the silence glaive above her head and brought it crashing down, causing an explosion of sorts. The final team member, again ginger, ran over and raised a hand. Light seemed to stream down from the stars themselves and collect in his hand. He threw the light at the droid just as Sailor Moon cried, Pluto leapt forward and contained the explosion within a shield.
"Silver moon crystal power kiss!"
"Are they always like that?" asked hermonie
"That one was particularly strong, usually by the time I attack it first time it'll poof." said vegeta
"Poof? Is that a technical term?" said tony
as they went back to their place of hiding. while loki carried bella back since her foot was injured. while hermonie and ron and harry and the twins was getting used to how these attacks are. and how bad they can be. but there was something new about these droids. They were made stronger. but they didn't know who had helped in making them so much stronger. while hermione sighed and missed snape. She knew he would make time to see her. well, when she is not around harry or ron. The wealsey twins were let in on the secrets of the spies since they didn't have any anger against them. so, they understood why to keep things like this from ron and harry they would never understand if it was even hit in the head by someone.
meanwhile the following day
as their hiding place has been discovered as dust and building chunks was all over the place. capsule corp was destroyed. Everyone cursed as they tried to get back into their state of mind. The shitennou and the handful of order members staying with them ran up the stairs. as they all looked around and wondered who and what they found. loki growled and knew they needed to fight. before they hide out somewhere else. There were so many places that they could hide out where they would not find them. unless they hide in the soul society, they would have to have someone who connected to the soul society to get there.
"We have to fight!" hissed loki
"cosmos power, make up!"
"Jupiter cosmos power, make up!"
"Saturn cosmos power, make up!"
"Pluto cosmos power, make up!"
"Fighter star power, make up!"
there were flashes of light as everyone who could transformed and ran towards the small army of droids lining up on the stairs. Mrs Weasley shouted as Fred ran past them up the banister, far more nimble than even he had thought he was. He turned to face George and raised his arms in the air, allowing black lightening to course through the whole of the army. Hermione summoned a very sharp looking dagger and then looked at it as if unsure what to do with it.
"Throw it," ordered thor
thor called at her. She did as he said just as he sent one of his attacks. the attack met the dagger and the nearest droid fell limp to the ground. Ron ran past George, who was sweating with the effort of maintaining the lightening to contain the army. He raised his hand to the ceiling and frowned with concentration as, little by little, light gathered in his palm. He threw it at the droids and a handful in the front row went down.
"bella, come here! Launch your attack at the same time as I do, Maybe if we combine the expanse of mine with the power of yours we'll knock down a lot of them in one go." said ami
"Silver moon crystal power kiss!"
"Mercury aqua rhapsody!"
The waves shimmered with silver light as they crashed over the droids. About half of them fell and did not get back up, but a side effect of the attack was that it knocked Fred backwards, breaking his connection with George, meaning that the black lightning disappeared. The droids surged forwards towards the scouts. Hotaru leapt to the back of the fight and brought the glaive down, shouting silence wall, and creating a barrier between herself and the fight, locking the order members in with her. loki and bella launched attack after attack at the droids, knocking them to the ground one after the other as the scouts and the shitennou and their friends and family all bunched their attacks to take them out.
"You know, I didn't think it would take you all this long, Really I'm disappointed." said wiseman
The man who approached was slim, diamond and the others from the black moon clan shivered as they remembered who that voice belonged to. They were reborn and that was a godsend to them. but he would not let his and bella child be harmed by the man who tricked him and his clan so long ago harm their friends and family. and it seemed that the wiseman was perhaps early twenties with tousled brown hair. bella shivered there was something decidedly familiar about him, and not in a good way.
"Wiseman," hissed diamond
diamond and sapphire along with the others realized with a jolt that she was right, the aura of dark power around this man was exactly like that of the Wiseman, inhabitant of the black moon Nemesis and user of the black crystal. while the dark crystal that diamond and his clan has is more of a purified one that was reborn in them. so, this was something that was a good thing. but this was a differed back crystal. one that is much darker than the ones that the dark moon clan has. even bella son tamaki was born with a black crystal.
"We must be careful, he must not die. If he dies, the timeline collapses, it would cause a hole in time itself." said trista
"I'll try remembering that," said diamond
"Now, now, whispering is rude. That can't defend you against the power of the black crystal forever. I found it you know, after the ice had gone, it was there waiting for me. It told me the truth about you and your plans for this world, the polluting magic you weave through the minds of those that follow you, You brainwash them with promises of Utopia that you can't fulfil." said wiseman
"I can, I've seen it, been there. Crystal Tokyo is a time of peace… or it will be anyway. why punish those you've brainwashed to follow you. I know someone who truly wishes to speak with you." snapped bella
"You know what? I don't believe you. You are the force behind Crystal Tokyo," hissed wiseman
His eyes suddenly darkened, black flooding them until they shone with the power of the crystal lodged in his chest. Pluto's shield didn't stand a chance and the scouts were blasted back. Hotaru's shield fell as well and the order members were thrown from their feet .as he scooped bella into his arms, Without another word he turned and ran. loki roared with rage and struggled through the remains of the battle up into the capsule corp which was in ruins, shortly followed by Seiya. He jumped straight onto a nearby rooftop and began to run, faster than he ever had before, only vaguely aware of the scouts and the shitennou following what may as well have been miles behind and Seiya's panting breath to one side. He could see the bastard in the distance, but he was pulling away, bella lying limp in his arms. He squinted and saw someone else appear on the roof next to them. Within seconds the three of them had gone, disapparated.
meanwhile a few hours later
bella woke slowly, her head pounding uncomfortably. She was lying on a cold, stone floor, no longer wearing her sailor fuku. She plunged her hand into her pocket groping desperately for her wand, but it was not there. A low moan escaped her lips and she opened her eyes, blinking when she realized that she still couldn't see anything. She pushed herself into a sitting position and looked around until her eyes adjusted to the dark, she seemed to be in a cellar of some form, alone. bella raised a tentative hand to her head and flinched as her fingers contacted the impressive lump sending throbbing pains through her skull. A door opened and a shaft of light cut into the gloom, forcing her to raise her arm to cover her eyes. Someone was thrown unceremoniously into the room with her, and the door was slammed shut once more. She crawled over to the outline of the limp figure and began, as best as she could, to move him away from the door.
everyone was sitting down across from trista in the otherwise deserted kitchen, this is the future you were trying to help us avoid. trista stood and moved through the door that was never there to her own realm. This was where the time stream was clearest, and always had been. She looked critically at the threads binding their current situation to Crystal Tokyo and sighed. It was not as though she wanted bella to go through all of this, but it was necessary. This was the only remaining thread to Crystal Tokyo, branched and frayed as it was. So long as their futures stayed true to the loops and turns of this thread they would reach it in the end. She did not like to manipulate the threads of time, but there were times when it was unavoidable, and it looked as though this was to be one of those times.
