Sailor Moon
Forgotten and Not Wanted
Episode 6: Ancient Enemies…Ancient Allies
AN: Before I Get started, I just have to say…WOW. I received the most NEGATIVE review I've ever seen on a story from a guest…but I just say…wow. Why would you post something like that on a story? Also, I can understand another guest's irritation with timeskips. I'll try to cut back a little on them. Anyways, LET'S BEGIN!
Usagi's POV
Sakura…What is she doing here?
"Sakura…what's going on?"
"…Usagi, don't you think this place is beautiful. So peaceful…after everything…it still maintains its attraction."
"Sak-"
"Don't you get it…I've not been your friend…I've been a ticking time bomb…And now that bomb is going to explode on top of you!"
"Sensei-What do you mean!?" Ayame yelled.
"Don't you get it!? I'VE BEEN AN ENEMY THIS WHOLE TIME!" she then yanked off her right glove, the one she never took off, revealing…my goodness…a black star…a youma symbol…
"Y-Youma Symbol…"
"Exactly…I've been like this for a long time…and now…I've got no other option but to obey my orders…and destroy you-AGH!"
W-What?!
"U-Usagi-chan…please…help me…"
"Sakura? Is that you?!" Hatsu yelled.
"P-Please…stop me…before I hurt you…AGH!"
A dark cloud then engulfed Sakura, and when it cleared, Mika was standing in her place.
"Sakura can't hear you anymore…Mika is the only one who remains…and my orders are clear…kill you for Queen Beryl…and I will complete my mission!"
We all transformed just in time, as Mika came hurtling at us with her sword, attempting to kill us. All of us leaped to the side, barely evading her.
"We can't hurt Sakura-chan, but we have to stop her!"
"Easier said than done!" said Hatsu. "She seems real determined to kill us!"
"Come on now…are you too scared to fight me…afraid you'll hurt your little friend?"
"How are we going to defeat Sakura when we can't fight back!?" Ayame asked.
"We need to soften her up first. It seems like Sakura is still in there, but she can't control herself." Fabia said.
"Sounds simple enough!" Mikaela said. "NEO HEARTS CANNON!"
The blast roared at Mika, but she suddenly disappeared. Before anyone could react, she appeared behind Mikaela and sent her flying with a kick.
"Honestly. I'm insulted…I expected a greater challenge from the so-called Neo-Scouts!"
Ayame and Hatsu both leaped at Mika, but her swords blocked them both, and she began to parry with both at the same time.
"How is she able to deal with them both at the same time!?"
"Well…she is a kendo teacher…and Mika was good at sword fighting…so that's not surprising."
"Don't compliment her Fabia!"
"Well what else are we supposed to do? We can't sword fight her, we can't blast her, so what can we do!?" Mikaela yelled.
Sailor Moon…
'Huh…who's saying that?"
The Power of the Moon is with you…Now…Detonate the Cosmos…
'Detonate the Cosmos? What does that mea-OH…I get it!"
"MOON POWER, COSMIC DETONATION!"
The ground under Mika began glowing, dimly at first, then really brightly, Ayame and Hatsu leaping back just as it exploded underneath Mika, sending her flying.
Mikaela and the others then fired at her all at once.
"NEO FROZEN BLAST!"
"NEO FLAME POWER!"
"NEO LIGHTNING STRIKE!"
"NEO HEARTS CANNON!"
"Oh….Crap."
The resulting attacks nailed Mika, but incredibly…she was standing, but she was extremely weak.
"How is she still standing!?"
Suddenly, a dark cloud left Sakura's body, causing her to return to normal and fall unconscious, before lightening up, and reentering Sakura.
"….D-Did we win?"
"I think so…"
Sakura then stumbled back to her feet, but instead of attacking, she simply laughed and started crying what seemed to tears of joy.
"Usagi…Fabia…Ayame, Hatsu…Mikaela…Thank you…I've waited so long to be restored to my old self…"
"You've been like that for that long?" Ayame asked.
"Yes…I've been like that for five long years…I've been waiting for you to arrive. But first…NOVA SHADOW POWER, MAKE UP!"
*Insert Shock and Transformation Desc here…Once I write one…*
Sakura was now standing in a black and dark purple sailor outfit, with two black swords on her back.
"S-Sakura…You're a sailor scout as well?" I stuttered out.
"Yes. Sailor Nova, at your service Princess."
"I've never heard of Sailor Nova before…" I said.
"Not surprising. You likely don't have many memories of me from your past life. I only arrived in the Silver Millennium a few years before it collapsed."
"So why did you come to the Moon Kingdom?"
"Let me tell you why…"
FLASHBACK
Many thousands of years ago…back during the days of the Silver Millennium, the Sailor Scouts were many hundreds strong. We defended our planets from evil…but some of us could see that it wouldn't be enough on its own. So we formed the Sailor Corps...Our goal was to defeat the most serious threats to our homes before they could do any harm. There were many such members of the corps…including myself and our leader…Commander Galaxia.
Galaxia and I were close friends during our time in the corps, two of the strongest Senshi known in the galaxy…but we finally met our match when Chaos arrived…The corps were no match for it…and Galaxia made the decision to seal Chaos away in her body…in the hopes it would defeat Chaos for good.
? Years ago…
"Commander, I brought you those files you aske-Commander!? Are you ok?"
I had brought Galaxia some files she was seeking, but she was in kneeling in the floor, clutching her chest. It had been a few months since she had sealed Chaos away…
"No…No Nova I am not ok…"
"What's wrong? Do I need to fetch a doctor?"
"No. No doctor can help me with this condition…it is Chaos." Galaxia said, struggling up into her chair.
"Chaos!?"
"I can feel its influence…its slowly polluting my very being. I don't believe I can hold it off forever."
"But you have a plan…don't you."
"Yes…I plan to send my star seed away to the far reaches of the Galaxy…to arrive in the future when someone is capable of stopping me…I want you to head there ahead of it…and make sure that the area survives until it does…"
"What is this planet?"
"A planet called Earth…it is not well known by most…and so it should evade Chaos's full force if he corrupts me for a good while…I entrust this to you Nova…please…don't fail me."
"…I promise you Commander…I will protect that planet until my dying breath…"
"Good…Now go." She said, removing her star seed from herself.
"Will you be able to hold off Chaos without your Star Seed?"
"I will eventually succumb…but I should be able to fend it off for a few more months, maybe a few years if I'm lucky. But If we are to defeat Chaos…my star seed must not fall. Now Nova…GO!" She said, sending her star seed out into space.
"Very well Commander…I wish you luck…" I said, leaving myself.
I did not wish to leave the Commander…but I knew that she was rarely wrong, and that she wouldn't have sent her Star Seed away if she believed there was another way.
After many days of travelling, I finally reached Earth. I was surprised to find that the Moon also possessed a people of its own, and felt that something about this Moon was special. Either way, I decided to travel there, and pledged my loyalty to your Mother, Queen Serenity. This way I could figure out what was going on and defend the Earth at the same time. I was rarely around the palace, so its understandable that you didn't see me very often. I spent most of my time marveling at the Earth and repulsing minor threats. Prince Endymion and his guardians proved to be able fighters, capable of defending the Earth on its own. All was peaceful…Until Metalia attacked.
I knew at once that Metalia was a fragment of Chaos's power, and knew that Galaxia must have finally fallen to its influence. By the time the battle for the Moon ended, your mother and I were all that were left…She sacrificed herself to seal Metalia away and revive you, the scouts and Prince Endymion and his guardians, while I sealed myself away on what remained of Earth to wait for the day you and the scouts would revive me. Unfortunately, Beryl awoke first and corrupted the Prince's guardians, and released Metalia…she then found me…weakened from my time in stasis, I stood no chance…
5 years ago.
"Fo..d…somet….!"
…Who is there…
"What is it?"
"It's some girl!"
"Let her out then…she could be useful."
I felt pain as I fell out of the stasis pod, confronted by Beryl and the Generals…I could sense their evil presence…and so I tried to fight back.
"You…will not take me evil-doers…" I said, drawing my swords.
"Crap! She's armed!"
"Fools. She is too weak to resist. I will take care of her." Beryl said. She then fired a blast of energy at me, I was too weak to deflect it, and so I was knocked out by it, and she dragged me to Metalia, and left me there.
TIMESKIP
…
"So…The 2nd in Command of the Sailor Corps Lives…"
"Wait…What in the world!?" I woke up, finding myself chained by dark energy to an energy wall, facing Metalia.
"Who are you evil-doer?! Release me at once!"
"Oh Sailor Nova…you didn't think that I would forget you…did you?"
"Chaos…I see you've found a way to manifest yourself…"
"So…you still exist…I presume that you believe that Galaxia's pathetic little plan would work…"
"Five Words…Get out of my face!"
"Hmph. You will reconsider that when this is done with you!"
A youma then appeared, and before I could react, possessed me. This caused me to glow with a dark aura before it faded.
"…What are your orders master…" I said.
"Good…Good! You're now my loyal servant…"
"Yes Master…I am known as Mika…The girl exists…but she will be powerless to defeat me."
"I see…she's still alive is she?"
"Yes. She is alive, but she is too weak to exert control over me."
"Good…Good! You will go to the human world. Take their energy…and bring it to me."
"Yes Master. I understand. They will never know what hit them."
And that was the case for many months, with Mika in complete control over me, and I was powerless to stop her. However, after Metalia was destroyed by you, Mika was seriously weakened, enough for me to regain control for the most part. Most of the time you saw me was when I was in control, though Mika's personality was mixing with my own. It was only recently that I lost control again to her, allowing her to try and kill you…
FLASHBACK END
Usagi's POV
"So that's what happened. I've waited for a long time to be free again, and now I've been liberated."
Before I could say anything, she suddenly drew a sword, plunged it into the ground, and kneeled before me.
"W-What are you doing?" I asked.
"Sailor Moon…Princess Serenity, I pledged I would defend your kingdom until my dying breath when I first arrived in this system, and until I draw my final breath, I intend to follow my promise. I pledge my loyalty to you and the Silver Millennium once again."
"You don't need to do that Sakura. You and I are friends after all."
"Friends or not, I am at your command Sailor Moon…Though…I still wish I knew what happened to commander Galaxia. After I left her I lost contact, so I never knew if she survived or not."
"She did. I managed to purify her of Chaos' influence, and last I saw her, she's trying to repair the damage she caused under Chaos' power."
"S-She's alive…Thank you Sailor Moon…I now owe you a great debt of gratitude…I never thought my commander would be saved…"
Sailor Nova then got up, returning her sword to its holster, and heading towards the palace.
"Where are you going?"
"Come. I have much to show you all."
What could she possibly have to show us?
