Imprisonment

Sora Kazeno

Prompt 6 for SM Villains Week "Virtue/Sin". Scene is a flashback regarding our evil purple haired Queen Pandora. This might be its own one shot, or it might find its way into a future arc of Chaos Theory as I continue to develop the arcs.

Queen Pandora is kneeling on the silver marble floor before the throne of Queen Serenity in the Silver Millennium. She keeps her eyes lowered to floor. She doesn't dare address the Queen in front of her until she listens to what she has to say. She is angry her Time Key was confiscated. She needs to determine its whereabouts.

"Tampering with time is forbidden," Queen Serenity reminds her.

Queen Pandora's head snaps up in anger. Who does Queen Serenity think she is to talk down to her? "Who are you to lecture me about what should and shouldn't be done with time? Time is my realm!"

Serenity's eyes narrow. "Your actions endangered this kingdom and star system."

The purple hair woman smirks. "You mean your rule? I was trying to prevent a disaster that will affect this entire star system and all you care about is your position of power because you have the Ginzuishou!" Serenity refused to believe her warning about a peasant on Earth that will rise against the Moon.

Queen Serenity inhales a deep breath before she responds. "What you tried to do would destabilize everything."

"It would not. I have seen vast future possibilities and you are so focused on only one outcome. The one you tricked my daughter into showing you," Queen Pandora spat. "Are you really going to believe the child has a better grasp than I do on the Gates of Time?"

"You tried to manipulate time for your own benefit," Queen Serenity's tone is firm. "Time should never be used like that."

Pandora scowls. "Who are you to judge what time can and cannot be used for? You use the Moroboshi no Ginzuishou however you wish without oversight. Who is to stop you when you use it for your own benefit?"

Queen Serenity's eyes flash dangerously. "The Ginzuishou is only used for good and it will never fall into the hands of darkness. Its purpose is to keep everyone safe. That is what I am doing."

"Humph," Queen Pandora sneers, "as long as it doesn't affect your reign." She stands up, defying the Queen. "You have no idea what will happen because of the path that you have chosen. To this kingdom and this star system! You will devastate everything!"

Queen Serenity carefully stands up. "That is enough. For disrupting the peace and stability of the galaxy you will be banished from this galaxy. Your crown will be taken leaving your husband to rule alone."

"You can't do this to me!" Queen Pandora bellows after listening to the punishment. "My people will rise up!"

"You will not see them again," The silver haired Queen's decision is final. "It is too ensure everyone's safety. You will be taken to a place far away."

Queen Nehelenia appears out of the shadows. "Leave it to me. I know the perfect dimension for her to reside that will prevent her from harming anyone again." She gestures with her hands and a mirror appears behind Queen Pandora.

Pandora turns around in time to be captured within the mirror. She is frozen in place.

Nehelenia waves her hand and the mirror vanishes to the other dimension. She addresses Queen Serenity. "You shouldn't put so much stress on yourself. It's not healthy for the baby."

Queen Serenity lowers her hand to her bugling waist. "She is fine. Only a few more weeks to go. I have to make sure when she enters this world, it will be one full of love and a safe place."

Queen Nehelenia smiles never suspecting she would be the next Queen to be banished from the Silver Millennium and the Milky Way. When she was imprisoned in her own dimension and freed by Sailor Galaxia return to Earth, she didn't realize breaking the seal on the mirror to seek revenge on the Moon Princess would also weaken the seal on Queen Pandora. In some timelines the seal is still strong enough to hold her; in others Queen Pandora breaks the seal.

In the Eternal Movie, we see Queen Nehelenia in the Silver Millennium and is banished when Princess Serenity is a baby… so why not insert a bit more in the past?

The peasant reference on Earth… that was Queen Beryl.

See you tomorrow for the final one!
