Sailor Moon
Forgotten and Not Wanted
Episode 7: The Story of Betrayal
AN: HEY EVERYONE, GUESS WHO'S STILL ALIVE! It took 3 months thanks to my ability to procrastinate and real life, but it's finally here! Hooray!
Usagi's POV
We were now following Sailor Nova deep into the palace, when we stopped in front of a door with a small constellation on it.
"Here we are…this room is home to an old relic I was hoping was still around…"
She pushed the door open, but as we looked inside, it didn't seem like much, it just seemed like a simple room.
"Uh…Sakura…are you sure this is the right place?"
"Yes, I didn't live in this room for ten years without having done some redecorating." She simply said, before walking to a bookcase and pulling a small gold book. Instead of coming out, the book moved down like a switch, causing the wall beside the bookcase to open up.
"Seriously…A Cliché secret bookcase door?" Mikaela said.
"You want to keep talking? Or Do I need to display the traps I installed as well?"
After a moment of silence, she turned and walked down through the hole, with us following. After a while, we arrived in a large room, with several monitors and a large table in the middle.
"This my friends, is the secondary headquarters of the Sailor Corps. I established it in the event something happened to our primary base."
Her mentioning that caused me to think back to what drove me out of Tokyo in the first place to come to the US…
FLASHBACK
It had been a day like any other…I had arrived at Rei's place as usual, but found that there was someone else there.
"Um…Guys? What's going on?"
Rei then spoke. "What's going on is that you need to stop talking, and give up that compact, you're not meant to be Sailor Moon!"
W-What!?
"I don't get what you're saying!"
"It's just what it sounds like, you weren't meant to be Sailor Moon." The girl said. "I am Lia Hiroshi, the true guardian of the Moon. You were not meant to become her, how you gained that power is beyond me."
"Usagi, please, just give us the compact, it's not worth it." Ami said.
"Yah, you have to admit your klutzy behavior in battle has nearly gotten you hurt on more than one occasion." Makoto added.
"You need to just let us handle things from now on." Minako finished.
I couldn't believe it…my own scouts were turning against me…and I saw Chibiusa and Mamoru…they weren't even trying to defend me…they agreed with them…
But the outers…well they were horrified.
"How can you say that about the Princess!?" Haruka yelled.
"I must agree, Usagi has her moments, but she's the reason we're all here in the first place!" Michiru yelled.
"And how do we intend to cure any potential youma if we don't have her?" Hotaru said. She spoke in an emotionless tone, but even I could tell she was furious on the inside.
"You are crossing the line inners, though you are the main guardians of the Princess, that does not give you the right to talk to her like that!" Setsuna yelled.
I couldn't take anymore, before anyone else could speak, I took that chance to run for it, and didn't look back…
FLASHBACK END
As I stopped thinking about what had happened, I realized the others were staring at me with worried looks on their faces.
"Usagi, I can tell you're troubled. Please, tell me what's wrong." Sakura said.
I figured now was as good a time as any, and spoke to all them about the incident. When I got done, Fabia had a look of horror on her face, while the others all looked either disgusted or outraged. Sakura especially looked angry, but she managed to contain herself, before heading to a panel.
"Let's hope this still works…I have a few choice words for those traitorous inners if they answer."
Instead, the screen showed static, before showing Pluto on the screen.
"Sailor Pluto, are you there?"
"Sailor Nova? Is that you?"
"Yes, what is the situation in Japan?"
"It's not good…" she said, before telling us about the problems going on. According to her, youma had begun arriving all over the place. Despite their best efforts, the scouts were struggling against them without me or the outers. However, a mysterious Senshi had begun to appear to help the inners, only to disappear shortly after each time.
"I see. Once the semester ends, we will return to Tokyo to help. We must deal with this new threat that is attacking the US and Japan as well as the inners. Do us a favor however, do not tell the other scouts, even the outers. We will need to stay hidden until the time is right."
As the screens shut down, Sailor Nova turned to a box, before handing it to me.
"Sailor Moon. This is something you may want to use."
"What is it?"
"It is a box that you can use to take the Scouts powers. It is not something you should take lightly, but if you feel that is needed, you may take their powers temporarily or permanently."
Sakura now got up, before turning to all of us.
"Now then, we have work to do…training and defeating the youma will be necessary…then we will return to the US to deal with the scouts and new enemy."
She's right…I won't be the same klutz when I get back to Japan…I will be more powerful than ever before. But what to do about the inners…
