Act Seven:
Goodbye My Sweet Love
Masao was staring out the window of the penthouse apartment that Mika had bought just for this type of situation. He was still in his school uniform and had his arms crossed over his chest. His blonde-silver hair seemed to sparkle as the sun light danced through the window and across his hair. His deep blue eyes were filled with worry, worry that seem to grow with every passing hour now that Sakura was back.
She couldn’t, or wouldn’t remember a thing about what had happened in the short time span that she was missing and Masao couldn’t come out and directly ask her about it. Well, he could, but then he would being giving his identity to someone that should not know. Not because he didn’t trust her, but because he didn’t want to put her in harms way.
Also, another think that he was worrying about was his restlessness. True the past few day’s he locked himself in his room for the loss of someone he loved, but also he felt…strange. Like while he was sleeping, someone else or something else was doing something in the back of his mind. Talking… no, cataloging. Strange, he thought as he turned to look at his good friend, Mika.
Mika was beautiful today. She was wearing her loose super fine hair back in a ponytail today and was sitting cross legged on the over stuffed couch that she was so found of. She had just come off the set of her latest PV and was still wearing the outrageous outfit that she had worn. It was all leather and metal buckles, apparently it was going to show a “harder” side to Mika’s music. To Masao it just looked… erotic.
Mika realized that Masao was looking at her and she blushed. She had admitted to herself a few weeks ago that she had a crush on the man, but she didn’t want to act on it. Especially if the two were to save the world from an all consuming evil, besides, Masao was clearly in love with another girl, Mika thought.
Akihito was leaning against the wall facing the two other teenagers. He had somehow managed to change into more “casual” cloths before arriving to the meeting, which he was first at. His form fitting shirt reveled more muscle then either of the other two wanted to look at, which is why he wore it. Akihito loved to start something with just about anyone, although he did seem to take a more protective side to Masao and Mika since joining the team. After the events of the pervious day Masao was still irate with the other man, but he seemed to be losing steam now that Sakura seemed to be safe.
Luna sat on the carpet talking to all three of the teenagers, which she feared fell on deaf ears. “… we must act!” She finished. Luna had been talking about some princess that was visiting Tokyo this week. Somehow, during the day while Masao was at school, the little cat how find out the Princess D, a royal princess from the country of D-Land was coming to the city to show off some prized jewel. Luna thought that this was the princess they had been looking for and the Silver Crystal that they needed. However, she had not had time to tell them any of this when Akihito stopped her.
“Hold on cat!” Akihito said, his voice deep, ruff and hard. He unfolded his arms and walked closer to the cat, crouching to look at her in the face. “So the main point is.. To search for the Princess? Just what kingdom she is from and while we are on the whole crazy subject, where are you from? Just who exactly are you? And who are you working for?” Towards the end Akihito sounded a little heated, like he was being used, and Akihito did not like to be used.
Sighing and looking down at her paws Luna opened her mouth and closed it again, trying to form what she should say. “I’m… not aloud to say just yet. From what I can remember, you won’t believe me if I told you now.” She said, almost in a rush. Masao and Mika just looked at her, confused and Akihito almost looked like he would start yelling.
“But Luna, we could use all the information that you have to help us find this Silver Crystal and the Princess.” Mika said, crossing her legs in another direction. She loved the over stuffed couch, but sometimes, sitting on it for to long in a certain fashion was had on the entire body.
“The enemy’s here are what worry me the most!” Masao quickly added, hoping he did not have to emphasizes on the why. The other three looked him, he hadn’t realized he hadn’t spoken the entire time. Luna nodded, “I wish I knew what they were up too. They couldn’t possible be…” She trailed off, thinking. If the enemy was after the Silver Crystal as well, then she and the other senshi had bigger problems to worry about then Sakura and Princess D.
“All this is for the sake of protecting the Princess. You are the Princess’s guardian senshi!” Luna said. Mika was thinking while Akihito finally stood up and walked over to the window, near Masao. Scowling, Masao moved closer to Mika and took a seat next to the girl, who asked a question that should have been asked a long time ago.
“ What exactly is the Silver Crystal?” Luna just looked at the girl and ponder the question, almost as if she was guessing on if the other three would understand if she told them. “The only reason why I think that we are having difficulty finding the princess is because some sort of seal that was placed on her.” Akihito mouthed the word seal while leaning up against the glass, not afraid that it might break under his weight and send him spiraling to his death 55 floors below. Mika was about to tell Luna that that didn’t answer her question when the black cat continued.
“It’s a possibility that the Silver Crystal placed the seal around the Princess. The infinite power from the holy stone, the Silver Crystal, can be given to anyone who has their eye on it. But if the power is abused, who knows what would happen.” Mika didn’t even what to bother with anymore questions. Having to find a Princess and a rock that could destroy the entire world, no, universe was a lot to take in for one girl.
“The awakening of all the Senshi is still not complete. All the senshi need to be gathered for the awakening to be complete. And I am sure that…” Luna trailed off and just sighed, rubbing a paw to her forehead. “I’m sure this is lost on all of you…”
But Akihito was not satisfied with how Luna left things. He walked back over to Luna and pointed a finger at her, not hurtful, just confused. “When you say awakening… What do you mean?” Mika had gotten off the couch to sit on the floor next to Luna and Masao had seemed to lose all interest in the matter as he walked over to his back on the computer desk. Luna watched Masao as she continued to talk to the other two who were listening. “Your memory. You have no memory of what happened before.” Akihito and Mika looked at each other and then the cat, both saying, “Memory?”
Luna watched as Masao grabbed his cell phone and started to talk on it, someone must of called him, he would of never made a phone call during a meeting. Although he never would of picked it up before either. Luna had noticed small things changing about Masao and it worried her. She wasn’t sure if it was because of Sakura, or the fact that becoming Sailor Moon was changing him, but the young man had to keep it together.
Masao didn’t know it, but he was the most important senshi. He had to mature enough to be everyone’s leader, he was after all the Princess’s personal body guard. That’s why he was called Sailor Moon, personal body guard to the Princess of the Moon…
“ I know Umi! The Princess from the Diamond country is here! Yeah she is suppose to be revealing some great treasure…” Mika and Akihito looked at Masao who was talking on the phone, but had not even realized he moved away from the meeting. But hearing of Princess D, Mika brighten up quickly.
“Oh! I almost forgot. I am going to the ball tonight to see the great unveiling of this national treasure of theirs. I can bring guest.” She said with a smile. Akihito shrugged and offer to go if she really wanted him to go. Smiling Mika punched the darker man in a well defined arm and giggled. Luna smiled as the two talked about the party, she was glad that Mika was trying to include Akihito into the team now. Without a wasted second, Masao was jumping over the couch and sitting next to the three others. “When do we leave!”
* * *
Onikisu stood in a dark room staring at an empty bed. It was Kohaku’s bed, before she died for her failures. He had not been the same since that fateful event and he really didn’t know who to blame. Himself? For not protecting her like he said he would? Shinju, for not preparing the plan faster then she should of? Something about the statement tickled the back of his mind. The plan… What was it again?
Or should he blame Jetto and his Queen for sitting the poor girl up with their Great Lord? Either way, he had lost himself and almost lost everything that had to do with the world. Queen Beryl had pulled him aside and gave him a warning, something that she would not normally do, and he still didn’t understand why she did it. Reaching out to touch the soft covers of the bed he heard a click and then the ring of chimes.
“Onikisu..” A deep voice which dripped with venom said. Onikisu turned to look at his Queen. She was standing a few feet away from him with half her body dressed in the shadows. From what he could see, she was holding her staff in her hand and her hair stood up on its end.
“I have a job for you. A job that may redeem yourself in the eye’s of the great Lord…and bring back Kohaku.” With that Onikisu eye’s went bright with rage. He would of done anything to bring back the love of his life. Anything! Beryl shot something at the man and he quickly grabbed it out of the air. Scanning it he saw that it was what the human’s called a newspaper.
“It seems that the princess from this country of D has a treasure of immense power. It might be the very Silver Crystal we are looking for.” The Queen said with a dark, evil smile. Onikisu took a deeper look at the paper and the girl that was photographed on the front page. He would do anything to being his love back, he didn’t care what he had to do.
The man disappeared in a flash of black and purple lighting bolts and left the Queen to stand in her glory. Her smiled deepened. The man was more moronic then she thought of. But if he was not so distraught over Kohaku, he might not of fallen for the trap that she had laid.
She found that if one of her generals was to self absorbed to help her, they were useless. Besides, at least he can check of this princess is the one they must kill. Two birds… She said laughing and disappearing in black dust.
* * *
Mika pulled up to Masao’s home at exactly 6:40 pm. Twenty minutes before the party actually starts. The driver slowly got out of the car and went around back to open the door for Masao. He had been told to dress for a masquerade ball and luckily his parents were well to do people. Just last year his mother and father were invited to the Royal Ball that the Emperor hosts every year. Because he was finally old enough, Masao had been invited as well, so his parents had decked him out in the years finest tuxedo.
Looking down at himself he was surprised that it still fit, although it was a little tight around the shoulders, and he had to get the legs taken out just a bit, but over all he thought he looked just as good as anyone else would. Plus, with the mask, no one would know it was him. He carried a bag pack which looked out of place, but it had well meaning.
The driver quickly closed the door behind Masao and made his way back to the front door. Masao saw that Mika had picked up Akihito first, he narrowed his eyes just about and sat on the other side of the car with Mika. Akihito was wearing a black tuxedo, much like Masao’s but he had a red tie where as Masao had a silver one. Masao shook his head has he watched the hard jaw man stare out the window.
Akihito looked good, and Masao hated to admitted that, and it wasn’t like he was going to, but he hated it nonetheless. He looked over at Mika and she was just… glamorous. She wore something from some designer that he had never heard of before, but the dress was killer. It was the color or ice, a shade lighter than her hair and eyes and sparkled. It was pretty much backless expected for the crisscrossing of multiple silver pearls and her hair was pulled up in tight curls to show all her skin.
“You look amazing!” Masao said as he looked the girl up and down. She giggled and pointed at the bag, the car pulled forward, announcing that they were finally moving again. Masao unzipped the bag and out popped Luna’s head, she heaved a great gulp of air and then hissed at Masao. “I thought you forgot about me!”
“Your such a drama queen Luna!” Masao said, both Mika and he were laughing at her, Akihito actually cracked a smile. He turned to look at the three and Masao had noticed that he had cut his short hair even shorter, now it was almost just a thin layer on top of his head. “What’s the plan?”
“Right to the point!” Luna said still staying in the bag, she figured she would have to get back in so what was the point of leaving? Luna giving her lecture from inside the bag was quite comical to say the lest. “I saw we get in, find the princess and the stone and see if it is the one were looking for and get out!” Simple, direct, just like Luna.
“Well, I plan to have some fun!” Masao said and Mika smiled and wanted to agree, but didn’t say anything out loud. Akihito nodded to agree with Masao, Luna just sighed and gave in, “Fine, we can stay for the party as well!” She said to the cheers of the young adults.
Pulling up to the building all three stared, none of them had been here before and they all had a loss for words. The front of the building looked like it should have been in the center of the Great city of Rome. All stone and marble, the front even had huge stone and marble columns holding up a roof to a marble flooring that surrounded the entire building. Every single light was on and masses of people were mingling around the opening and coming in and out of the party.
The three walked up to the guard that blocked people that shouldn’t be there and Mika offered her name, he let all three pass into the party. Masao gapped at what he saw. Before him were hundreds of people, all wearing tuxedo’s and ball gowns and mask’s covering who they were. He felt like he had stepped back into time and was at a ball in old Europe.
Masao walked over to the desk were people checked in their coats and gave the nice looking pink haired woman his bag, the opening was slightly unzipped for easier opening for the cat inside. He thanked her and went back to where the other two had been standing and saw they were gone!
“Well, this is great.” He said more to himself, but still aloud. He made his way to a table that was offering beverages and gladly took a orange colored drink and sipped at his whine glass. Watching the ball he noticed how lonely he was, everyone had someone but him. He huffed, even Mika has Akihito! Turning something bumped into and his glass spilled all over him and the other person. “Hey!” He yelled.
A man had bumped into him and didn’t even say anything about it when he walked away. Masao narrowed his eyes at the retreating man, but thought he looked familiar. The height and build, the buzz cut hair… Must be my imagination. Walking around he was trying to find a restroom to try and clean himself off.
Wondering around he found himself on the second floor of the three story building and walking out onto the marble balcony. The columns from the bottom floor reached up to here and most likely made their way to the third floor as well. Forgetting about his tuxedo jacket he walked over to the stone railing and rested his arms on.
The sprawling garden bellow him held almost every flower and tree that grew in the nation of Japan. It was suppose to be one of the more beautiful places in the city and Masao had never really found the time to come here. He sighed as he watched people on the ground level having more fun out doors.
* * *
Mokusei wasn’t formally invited to the ball but he thought that was just a mishap on the “invite compete.” He smiled as he jumped from the roof of the closest building to the second floor of the embassy building. Landing gracefully he stood straight up and looked around quickly to see if anyone was standing around that would of seen him.
He walked a little ways and looked out over the graded and smiled. He liked the feel of this tuxedo, it was a lot easier to maneuver in this light material then it was in all that armor, but the armor served a purpose, of course. Although he thought it was strange that his armor was basically a tuxedo, but with armor. He laughed at the irony and heard someone approaching. Receding into the shadows he watched as the one person he didn’t expect walk through the open French Double doors and make his way to the balcony.
He wondered what the younger man was doing here. Mokusei was here for the Silver Crystal, or what he thought was going to be the Silver Crystal,; it was the only think that could restore his memory, or so he was told. He also had a mission to find this princess and ask her a few questions. He felt something towards her, but he could quite put his finger on it; it wasn’t love… more like hate, but not as strong.
Mokusei went make to studying Masao, he couldn’t quite understand what was going on their either. It was almost the opposite for the young man, not love, not exactly; more like brotherly love? Impossible, there would be no way that they were related, from what Mokusei has gathered, Masao’s parents are alive and well. He watched as Masao lined on the railing and Mokusei thought the entire scene looked familiar, almost like a movie he had watched years and years ago.
“Striking, isn’t it?” Mokusei said appearing from the shadows, startling Masao. He quickly turned around to see who had snuck up on him and stopped cold. At first glance Masao thought he saw Sailor Earth, but on second inspection it was only Mokusei. Luna had warned the group about Sailor Earth, but Masao thought he could trust him, or something told him he could trust him.
Turning back around and acting like he wasn’t startled Masao said, “I’ve seen better.” He smiled as Mokusei came closer, of course this was stunning, a moron would of seen it as so. Mokusei reached the railing and turned his back to it and leaned backwards, watching the party inside. “I haven’t seen you in awhile.” Masao smiled and looked down directly below him, this man was something else. “I’ve been busy.” With saving the world. He added to himself.
Mokusei laughed and ran a hand through his dark black medium length hair that he had parted in the middle. Masao looked up at the much taller man, “Why don’t you find some nice princess to dance with?” No venom, no anger, just a question. Mokusei smiled and continued to stare into the party, his mouth slightly open, a gleam in his eyes. “The Princess’s aren’t really my style.” Masao looked confused and was about to ask what he meant when Mika appeared. “Masao! The princess is about to come out with the jewel!”
Forgetting all about Mokusei Masao walked off with Mika and the two made their way to a comer on the second floor balcony over looking were the Princess would be sitting. Akihito and Luna were already standing there waiting for the other two. “Sorry, he was out side talking-” Masao talked over her quickly. “I was getting some fresh air.” He remembered how Akihito acted towards Mokusei the last time the two had met and he did not want to live through that again.
The Princess appeared with cheers and applause from the entire crowd, including Mika and Masao. She had short frizzy brown hair that was held back from her face with a headband. On her face were the thickest glasses that Masao had ever seen and a short frilly dress that was fit for a thirteen year old. And taking a good look at the girl, Masao doubted she was not much older than that.
“Do you sense anything?” Akihito asked Luna, who was sitting on the balcony. She shook her head. “No.. I can’t sense a thing. I figured as much. She looked around the rest of the room and voiced a concern. “I wonder were the jewel is?”
* * *
Somewhere else in the embassy two women were walking down a long hall and talking to each other. “So this is one of the best times of our lives!” One said as they turned to enter a room. “Yeah, a once and a life time event. Princess D is revealing the treasure of her country for the first time in history!.” The disappeared through a doorway and the Princess they were talking about made her way to another door.
She looked sad and depressed. She watched the floor as her two feet were taking her from the hall to the room that held the crystal that everyone was so excited about. If only I were prettier… People might actually be interested in me instead.. She thought to herself, or so she had though.
“That’s right princess!” A female voice sneered at the young girl. Before Princess D could turn around something hit her from behind. The last thing she could remember was being surrounded by a black light and then everything went dark.
Princess D turned around and saw cloths fall to the floor, holding her hands up so she can look at them she smiled. This body is stronger then she gives it credit for. She thought to herself. “This body is only good for one thing; the retrieval of the Crystal!” The voice that was speaking was Princess D’s but sadly it was not Princess D who was controlling it any longer. She was possessed by Onikisu who was on a hell bent mission to take the Silver Crystal and bring his beloved back!
Walking to a stand in the middle of the room Princess D held out her hands to grab a golden box that housed the crystal and she laughed. With all the commotion and laughing the guards at the other side of the door rushed in to see what was happening. “Stop.” Princess D waved her free hand and the two guard stopped dead in their tracks. Onikisu did the only thing he could do in this body; he ran.
* * *
Masao and his group were heading down the main staircase to the main floor wondering what was going on when people started to yell and shout. “Get out of my way!” A harsh, but sweet voice was screaming loudly. People were gasping and yelling back as people were pushing and shoving others out of the way.
“What’s going on?” Masao asked. Luna was laying over his shoulder and watching the scene with interest. She saw Princess D running towards them holding a golden box and pushing people out of her way. Princess D glided past them and started to run up the stairs. Luna felt something evil around her and gasped. “Masao! You must stop her, something’s wrong!” Without even thinking Masao chased the girl up the stairs and Luna jumped off to try and get the attention of the other two that were with them.
Masao reached out for the irate girl yelling at her to stop. “Princess! You must stop, you will hurt yourself!” Masao must of over corrected himself when he reach the top floor because the Princess jerk away from him and pushed at the same time, “Let go of me!”. Masao tripped and fell; over the balcony!
“AHH!” He said as he hand went up out of instinct and Luna ran up the stairs with the other two. Not even thinking of where she was she screamed; “Masao!” No one noticed that a little black cat was running up the stairs screaming for the young boy that had fallen off the balcony. When Masao thought he was finished he felt someone grab his hand. Looking up, he gasped. “Mokusei!”
Down on the stairs, Princess D decided that she wanted to go in a different direction and ran right past Akihito and Mika. “Did you feel that?” Akihito said with shock. The pure hatred and evil he felt from the girl surprised him, no one else can feel that?! He thought with surprise.
Mika looked at the direction that the Princess had run in. “There! Look, something about her… She’s evil.” Mika said worried for the young girl starting at them. Princess D’s eyes were bulged and her skin looked like it was stretching across her face, somewhere along the way she had lost her glasses and hair band; hair pointing every which way.
“you will all become my slaves! Serve me and our Dark Queen!” Princess D cackled to the crowed. Everyone’s eyes around her glazed over and soon more and more people were following. They were being brainwashed by the enemy!
“I’m slipping!” Masao said through clenched teeth. Mokusei grunted and tried to hold of tighter, but he could fell the other man slipping through his hand. Pulling Masao up with one arm, Mokusei tried to reach him with the other hand, but he lost even more of his grip.
Luna finally made it up to the balcony and jumped up on the railing, “Masao!” She screamed and Mokusei looked over at the cat in disbelief. Masao slipped another inch and Mokusei put more of his weight over the edge, before anyone knew what was happening a silver light appeared around all three of time.
Mokusei fell over the edge and the two slowly fell to the ground floor covered in the silver light. Masao looked amazed as did Mokusei and they both touched down on the ground floor, both looking around oddly. “Well, I guess I owe you one!” Mokusei said and ran off.
“Mokusei…” Masao said as he watched the man run into the night and disappear. He shock his head and remembered his mission. “Moon! Solar Power!” He transformed into Sailor Moon and stood there for a moment. Something felt odd, a warm glow felled him and surrounded him. This feeling again… He thought as he remembered the last time this power surged through him.
When the light disappeared this time he was wearing a cape and there were more jewel’s on his armor, he also wore a sword skable, but no sword. He put his fist down to his sides, someone was going to pay for this! He thought angrily. Jumping up to the floor he had just fallen from Sailormoon ran down the stairs to stand next to Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars. “Your late!” Mars said jumping a few feet back to avoid a blast of dark energy.
“The people in here are being absorbed by some kind of dark energy! We can’t help them unless we stop that!” Mercury said pointing to huge image floating above Princess D. “It’s that guy that bumped into me!” Moon said pointing at the image who was now laughing.
“Haha! I, Onikisu, shall take this treasure to my Queen and bring back my beloved!” Mars stepped forward and held out his hand. “Fire Soul!” He yelled as a great ball of flame burst from his out stretched hand and flew towards the dark mass which just absorbed it. Mars gasped and looked back at the others. “It didn’t work!”
“Sailor Moon! Use your light!” A man yelled from behind the group. Sailor Moon turned to see Sailor Earth standing there watching the entire scene. Moon turned back to the huge image before them and nodded. He touched the biggest jewel newly placed on his chest, almost feeling power wielding up in it.
“Sailor Moon! Do what he says!” Luna yelled running down from the stairs and stopping midway between the Sailor Senshi and Sailor Earth. Sailor moon nodded and he could feel the power building up at his touch. The jewel began to burn at his touch and he yelled out, “Moon Twilight Flash!”
A burst of light exploded from the jewel and filled the entire room. The image above the Princess D’s head screamed in pain and vanished, they had killed the monster!
* * *
Onikisu watched has the scene unfolded before him. Growling he crushed the glass ball he was using when Sailor Moon destroyed his shadow. “This is not going to happen!” He screamed and disappeared.
* * *
When the image disappeared Mercury clapped her hands together and sighed with relief. Princess D fell to the floor, passed out, as did all the others who were being controlled by the image. But the Senshi could not celebrate just yet. Earth began to walk down the stairs towards Moon and Mercury when a black energy beam shot out of thin air a slammed in to the man, throwing him up the stairs and through the open doors.
“What the-” Mars said turning and another bead shot in a different direction in Mars and slamming him into a stone wall, blood trailing down his lips. Mercury was the first to react. “Aqua Mist!” She screamed, filling the entire room with a thick mist that no one but the Sailor Senshi could see through.
“Mercury! Are you okay?” Moon asked running up to the girl but stopped. A body appeared in front of him and Mercury. “That won’t work on me, girl!” He said pointing a finger at Mercury. Yelling Moon stepped in front of the girl and the man, a black energy beam closing in on Sailor Moon.
Before it could make contact silver light appeared at the center jewel of Sailor Moon’s chest and consumed the light. A voice that was Sailor Moon’s but not his spoke through Sailor Moon. “Your power’s wont work here, Onikisu!” Sailor Moon held out his hand and gathered more of the silver light into; a ball slowly began to form. Onikisu tried to shimmer away but something was keeping him in place; he couldn’t even move!
“What is happening?!” He screamed as he watched Sailor Moon form more and more energy into that ball of silver light. “I’m finishing this!” The voice said though Sailor Moon’s lips. He pulled the ball of silver light towards him and finished gathering all the alight in the area. “Silver Moon!” He scream as he pushed the massive ball of light at the enemy before him. “Elimination!” He screamed as he pushed the ball of light towards the screaming Onikisu.
The light consumed everything in the building and for blocks surrounding the embassy. As the light faded, nothing was left of Onikisu. “My love… I failed you!” A soft voice said through the fading light. Sailor Moon fell to his knee’s and Mercury went down with him. “What happened?” She asked. Sailor moon just looked at her, he didn’t now either. “I mean, in one moment he was shooting something at us and then he was gone!” Sailor Moon looked at her even more confused, what had happened?
“It doesn’t matter, lets make sure everyone is okay.” Luna had run to check on mars and he was going to be okay, just a few broken ribs, something he has lived through before he reassured them. The Princess was fine and so were all the other guest of the party, they even looked for Sailor Earth for a hour, but couldn’t find any trace of him.
“I’m sure he’s okay.” Mercury said as the left the gardens and enters the ball room again. Sailor Moon just nodded. It seemed the party was going back to before the attack and Princess D showed everyone their nation’s treasure. “A 2000 karate diamond of the first Princess of D!”
“That’s what we risked our lives for just now!” Mars said leaning next to a table, he was already feeling a little better, not needing to lean on Sailor Moon, who had wondered away from the group looking for something to drink. Which was the thing that started this whole mess. Grabbing a dark green filled glass he drank the entire think and start to feel… silly.
He made his way up to the second floor again and rested on the railing. He smelled something familiar as he drifted to and from sleep. Sailor Earth appeared and made sure Sailor Moon didn’t fall to the ground below and brushed the hair out of his face. Why does this seem so familiar? Bending over Sailor Earth was about to…
“Stop right there!” Luna yelled at the man hovering over the sleeping Sailor Moon. “Get away from him!” Sailor Earth parted his lips and let air pass through them, he smiled and stood up to look at the cat. “Why do you keep showing up right when we need you?” The little animal still bombard Sailor Earth with questions.
“I’m also looking for the Silver Crystal…” He said jumping up on the railing and looking out over the city. Luna walked closer to Sailor Earth, “Does that mean you’re are ally, or enemy?” Sailor Earth smiled and looked down at the ground below them. “I wonder that too. Were both after the same thing.” He then looked at Luna with harsh eyes. “I guess that makes me your enemy.” And with that he jumped down to the garden below and ran off, thunder boomed throughout the city as Sailor Earth disappeared in the distance.
* * *
Somewhere else in the city a girl ran down the street to her new apartment. Just making it as the ran came falling down she ran under the covering that protected the door to the building that she was living in. Her lime green hair was tied up into a tight pony tail at the top of her head with the end of the tail almost reaching the ground. She had two lose, thick strains at the sides of her head that fell in front of her shoulders.
She was of medium build and stood taller then most women. Pushing the lose strains of hair out of her sight she watched has the rain began to fall down. “It looks like it has begun…” She said.
Please read!! Tell me what you think!
Act Seven:
Goodbye My Sweet Love
Masao was staring out the window of the penthouse apartment that Mika had bought just for this type of situation. He was still in his school uniform and had his arms crossed over his chest. His blonde-silver hair seemed to sparkle as the sun light danced through the window and across his hair. His deep blue eyes were filled with worry, worry that seem to grow with every passing hour now that Sakura was back.
She couldn’t, or wouldn’t remember a thing about what had happened in the short time span that she was missing and Masao couldn’t come out and directly ask her about it. Well, he could, but then he would being giving his identity to someone that should not know. Not because he didn’t trust her, but because he didn’t want to put her in harms way.
Also, another think that he was worrying about was his restlessness. True the past few day’s he locked himself in his room for the loss of someone he loved, but also he felt…strange. Like while he was sleeping, someone else or something else was doing something in the back of his mind. Talking… no, cataloging. Strange, he thought as he turned to look at his good friend, Mika.
Mika was beautiful today. She was wearing her loose super fine hair back in a ponytail today and was sitting cross legged on the over stuffed couch that she was so found of. She had just come off the set of her latest PV and was still wearing the outrageous outfit that she had worn. It was all leather and metal buckles, apparently it was going to show a “harder” side to Mika’s music. To Masao it just looked… erotic.
Mika realized that Masao was looking at her and she blushed. She had admitted to herself a few weeks ago that she had a crush on the man, but she didn’t want to act on it. Especially if the two were to save the world from an all consuming evil, besides, Masao was clearly in love with another girl, Mika thought.
Akihito was leaning against the wall facing the two other teenagers. He had somehow managed to change into more “casual” cloths before arriving to the meeting, which he was first at. His form fitting shirt reveled more muscle then either of the other two wanted to look at, which is why he wore it. Akihito loved to start something with just about anyone, although he did seem to take a more protective side to Masao and Mika since joining the team. After the events of the pervious day Masao was still irate with the other man, but he seemed to be losing steam now that Sakura seemed to be safe.
Luna sat on the carpet talking to all three of the teenagers, which she feared fell on deaf ears. “… we must act!” She finished. Luna had been talking about some princess that was visiting Tokyo this week. Somehow, during the day while Masao was at school, the little cat how find out the Princess D, a royal princess from the country of D-Land was coming to the city to show off some prized jewel. Luna thought that this was the princess they had been looking for and the Silver Crystal that they needed. However, she had not had time to tell them any of this when Akihito stopped her.
“Hold on cat!” Akihito said, his voice deep, ruff and hard. He unfolded his arms and walked closer to the cat, crouching to look at her in the face. “So the main point is.. To search for the Princess? Just what kingdom she is from and while we are on the whole crazy subject, where are you from? Just who exactly are you? And who are you working for?” Towards the end Akihito sounded a little heated, like he was being used, and Akihito did not like to be used.
Sighing and looking down at her paws Luna opened her mouth and closed it again, trying to form what she should say. “I’m… not aloud to say just yet. From what I can remember, you won’t believe me if I told you now.” She said, almost in a rush. Masao and Mika just looked at her, confused and Akihito almost looked like he would start yelling.
“But Luna, we could use all the information that you have to help us find this Silver Crystal and the Princess.” Mika said, crossing her legs in another direction. She loved the over stuffed couch, but sometimes, sitting on it for to long in a certain fashion was had on the entire body.
“The enemy’s here are what worry me the most!” Masao quickly added, hoping he did not have to emphasizes on the why. The other three looked him, he hadn’t realized he hadn’t spoken the entire time. Luna nodded, “I wish I knew what they were up too. They couldn’t possible be…” She trailed off, thinking. If the enemy was after the Silver Crystal as well, then she and the other senshi had bigger problems to worry about then Sakura and Princess D.
“All this is for the sake of protecting the Princess. You are the Princess’s guardian senshi!” Luna said. Mika was thinking while Akihito finally stood up and walked over to the window, near Masao. Scowling, Masao moved closer to Mika and took a seat next to the girl, who asked a question that should have been asked a long time ago.
“ What exactly is the Silver Crystal?” Luna just looked at the girl and ponder the question, almost as if she was guessing on if the other three would understand if she told them. “The only reason why I think that we are having difficulty finding the princess is because some sort of seal that was placed on her.” Akihito mouthed the word seal while leaning up against the glass, not afraid that it might break under his weight and send him spiraling to his death 55 floors below. Mika was about to tell Luna that that didn’t answer her question when the black cat continued.
“It’s a possibility that the Silver Crystal placed the seal around the Princess. The infinite power from the holy stone, the Silver Crystal, can be given to anyone who has their eye on it. But if the power is abused, who knows what would happen.” Mika didn’t even what to bother with anymore questions. Having to find a Princess and a rock that could destroy the entire world, no, universe was a lot to take in for one girl.
“The awakening of all the Senshi is still not complete. All the senshi need to be gathered for the awakening to be complete. And I am sure that…” Luna trailed off and just sighed, rubbing a paw to her forehead. “I’m sure this is lost on all of you…”
But Akihito was not satisfied with how Luna left things. He walked back over to Luna and pointed a finger at her, not hurtful, just confused. “When you say awakening… What do you mean?” Mika had gotten off the couch to sit on the floor next to Luna and Masao had seemed to lose all interest in the matter as he walked over to his back on the computer desk. Luna watched Masao as she continued to talk to the other two who were listening. “Your memory. You have no memory of what happened before.” Akihito and Mika looked at each other and then the cat, both saying, “Memory?”
Luna watched as Masao grabbed his cell phone and started to talk on it, someone must of called him, he would of never made a phone call during a meeting. Although he never would of picked it up before either. Luna had noticed small things changing about Masao and it worried her. She wasn’t sure if it was because of Sakura, or the fact that becoming Sailor Moon was changing him, but the young man had to keep it together.
Masao didn’t know it, but he was the most important senshi. He had to mature enough to be everyone’s leader, he was after all the Princess’s personal body guard. That’s why he was called Sailor Moon, personal body guard to the Princess of the Moon…
“ I know Umi! The Princess from the Diamond country is here! Yeah she is suppose to be revealing some great treasure…” Mika and Akihito looked at Masao who was talking on the phone, but had not even realized he moved away from the meeting. But hearing of Princess D, Mika brighten up quickly.
“Oh! I almost forgot. I am going to the ball tonight to see the great unveiling of this national treasure of theirs. I can bring guest.” She said with a smile. Akihito shrugged and offer to go if she really wanted him to go. Smiling Mika punched the darker man in a well defined arm and giggled. Luna smiled as the two talked about the party, she was glad that Mika was trying to include Akihito into the team now. Without a wasted second, Masao was jumping over the couch and sitting next to the three others. “When do we leave!”
* * *
Onikisu stood in a dark room staring at an empty bed. It was Kohaku’s bed, before she died for her failures. He had not been the same since that fateful event and he really didn’t know who to blame. Himself? For not protecting her like he said he would? Shinju, for not preparing the plan faster then she should of? Something about the statement tickled the back of his mind. The plan… What was it again?
Or should he blame Jetto and his Queen for sitting the poor girl up with their Great Lord? Either way, he had lost himself and almost lost everything that had to do with the world. Queen Beryl had pulled him aside and gave him a warning, something that she would not normally do, and he still didn’t understand why she did it. Reaching out to touch the soft covers of the bed he heard a click and then the ring of chimes.
“Onikisu..” A deep voice which dripped with venom said. Onikisu turned to look at his Queen. She was standing a few feet away from him with half her body dressed in the shadows. From what he could see, she was holding her staff in her hand and her hair stood up on its end.
“I have a job for you. A job that may redeem yourself in the eye’s of the great Lord…and bring back Kohaku.” With that Onikisu eye’s went bright with rage. He would of done anything to bring back the love of his life. Anything! Beryl shot something at the man and he quickly grabbed it out of the air. Scanning it he saw that it was what the human’s called a newspaper.
“It seems that the princess from this country of D has a treasure of immense power. It might be the very Silver Crystal we are looking for.” The Queen said with a dark, evil smile. Onikisu took a deeper look at the paper and the girl that was photographed on the front page. He would do anything to being his love back, he didn’t care what he had to do.
The man disappeared in a flash of black and purple lighting bolts and left the Queen to stand in her glory. Her smiled deepened. The man was more moronic then she thought of. But if he was not so distraught over Kohaku, he might not of fallen for the trap that she had laid.
She found that if one of her generals was to self absorbed to help her, they were useless. Besides, at least he can check of this princess is the one they must kill. Two birds… She said laughing and disappearing in black dust.
* * *
Mika pulled up to Masao’s home at exactly 6:40 pm. Twenty minutes before the party actually starts. The driver slowly got out of the car and went around back to open the door for Masao. He had been told to dress for a masquerade ball and luckily his parents were well to do people. Just last year his mother and father were invited to the Royal Ball that the Emperor hosts every year. Because he was finally old enough, Masao had been invited as well, so his parents had decked him out in the years finest tuxedo.
Looking down at himself he was surprised that it still fit, although it was a little tight around the shoulders, and he had to get the legs taken out just a bit, but over all he thought he looked just as good as anyone else would. Plus, with the mask, no one would know it was him. He carried a bag pack which looked out of place, but it had well meaning.
The driver quickly closed the door behind Masao and made his way back to the front door. Masao saw that Mika had picked up Akihito first, he narrowed his eyes just about and sat on the other side of the car with Mika. Akihito was wearing a black tuxedo, much like Masao’s but he had a red tie where as Masao had a silver one. Masao shook his head has he watched the hard jaw man stare out the window.
Akihito looked good, and Masao hated to admitted that, and it wasn’t like he was going to, but he hated it nonetheless. He looked over at Mika and she was just… glamorous. She wore something from some designer that he had never heard of before, but the dress was killer. It was the color or ice, a shade lighter than her hair and eyes and sparkled. It was pretty much backless expected for the crisscrossing of multiple silver pearls and her hair was pulled up in tight curls to show all her skin.
“You look amazing!” Masao said as he looked the girl up and down. She giggled and pointed at the bag, the car pulled forward, announcing that they were finally moving again. Masao unzipped the bag and out popped Luna’s head, she heaved a great gulp of air and then hissed at Masao. “I thought you forgot about me!”
“Your such a drama queen Luna!” Masao said, both Mika and he were laughing at her, Akihito actually cracked a smile. He turned to look at the three and Masao had noticed that he had cut his short hair even shorter, now it was almost just a thin layer on top of his head. “What’s the plan?”
“Right to the point!” Luna said still staying in the bag, she figured she would have to get back in so what was the point of leaving? Luna giving her lecture from inside the bag was quite comical to say the lest. “I saw we get in, find the princess and the stone and see if it is the one were looking for and get out!” Simple, direct, just like Luna.
“Well, I plan to have some fun!” Masao said and Mika smiled and wanted to agree, but didn’t say anything out loud. Akihito nodded to agree with Masao, Luna just sighed and gave in, “Fine, we can stay for the party as well!” She said to the cheers of the young adults.
Pulling up to the building all three stared, none of them had been here before and they all had a loss for words. The front of the building looked like it should have been in the center of the Great city of Rome. All stone and marble, the front even had huge stone and marble columns holding up a roof to a marble flooring that surrounded the entire building. Every single light was on and masses of people were mingling around the opening and coming in and out of the party.
The three walked up to the guard that blocked people that shouldn’t be there and Mika offered her name, he let all three pass into the party. Masao gapped at what he saw. Before him were hundreds of people, all wearing tuxedo’s and ball gowns and mask’s covering who they were. He felt like he had stepped back into time and was at a ball in old Europe.
Masao walked over to the desk were people checked in their coats and gave the nice looking pink haired woman his bag, the opening was slightly unzipped for easier opening for the cat inside. He thanked her and went back to where the other two had been standing and saw they were gone!
“Well, this is great.” He said more to himself, but still aloud. He made his way to a table that was offering beverages and gladly took a orange colored drink and sipped at his whine glass. Watching the ball he noticed how lonely he was, everyone had someone but him. He huffed, even Mika has Akihito! Turning something bumped into and his glass spilled all over him and the other person. “Hey!” He yelled.
A man had bumped into him and didn’t even say anything about it when he walked away. Masao narrowed his eyes at the retreating man, but thought he looked familiar. The height and build, the buzz cut hair… Must be my imagination. Walking around he was trying to find a restroom to try and clean himself off.
Wondering around he found himself on the second floor of the three story building and walking out onto the marble balcony. The columns from the bottom floor reached up to here and most likely made their way to the third floor as well. Forgetting about his tuxedo jacket he walked over to the stone railing and rested his arms on.
The sprawling garden bellow him held almost every flower and tree that grew in the nation of Japan. It was suppose to be one of the more beautiful places in the city and Masao had never really found the time to come here. He sighed as he watched people on the ground level having more fun out doors.
* * *
Mokusei wasn’t formally invited to the ball but he thought that was just a mishap on the “invite compete.” He smiled as he jumped from the roof of the closest building to the second floor of the embassy building. Landing gracefully he stood straight up and looked around quickly to see if anyone was standing around that would of seen him.
He walked a little ways and looked out over the graded and smiled. He liked the feel of this tuxedo, it was a lot easier to maneuver in this light material then it was in all that armor, but the armor served a purpose, of course. Although he thought it was strange that his armor was basically a tuxedo, but with armor. He laughed at the irony and heard someone approaching. Receding into the shadows he watched as the one person he didn’t expect walk through the open French Double doors and make his way to the balcony.
He wondered what the younger man was doing here. Mokusei was here for the Silver Crystal, or what he thought was going to be the Silver Crystal,; it was the only think that could restore his memory, or so he was told. He also had a mission to find this princess and ask her a few questions. He felt something towards her, but he could quite put his finger on it; it wasn’t love… more like hate, but not as strong.
Mokusei went make to studying Masao, he couldn’t quite understand what was going on their either. It was almost the opposite for the young man, not love, not exactly; more like brotherly love? Impossible, there would be no way that they were related, from what Mokusei has gathered, Masao’s parents are alive and well. He watched as Masao lined on the railing and Mokusei thought the entire scene looked familiar, almost like a movie he had watched years and years ago.
“Striking, isn’t it?” Mokusei said appearing from the shadows, startling Masao. He quickly turned around to see who had snuck up on him and stopped cold. At first glance Masao thought he saw Sailor Earth, but on second inspection it was only Mokusei. Luna had warned the group about Sailor Earth, but Masao thought he could trust him, or something told him he could trust him.
Turning back around and acting like he wasn’t startled Masao said, “I’ve seen better.” He smiled as Mokusei came closer, of course this was stunning, a moron would of seen it as so. Mokusei reached the railing and turned his back to it and leaned backwards, watching the party inside. “I haven’t seen you in awhile.” Masao smiled and looked down directly below him, this man was something else. “I’ve been busy.” With saving the world. He added to himself.
Mokusei laughed and ran a hand through his dark black medium length hair that he had parted in the middle. Masao looked up at the much taller man, “Why don’t you find some nice princess to dance with?” No venom, no anger, just a question. Mokusei smiled and continued to stare into the party, his mouth slightly open, a gleam in his eyes. “The Princess’s aren’t really my style.” Masao looked confused and was about to ask what he meant when Mika appeared. “Masao! The princess is about to come out with the jewel!”
Forgetting all about Mokusei Masao walked off with Mika and the two made their way to a comer on the second floor balcony over looking were the Princess would be sitting. Akihito and Luna were already standing there waiting for the other two. “Sorry, he was out side talking-” Masao talked over her quickly. “I was getting some fresh air.” He remembered how Akihito acted towards Mokusei the last time the two had met and he did not want to live through that again.
The Princess appeared with cheers and applause from the entire crowd, including Mika and Masao. She had short frizzy brown hair that was held back from her face with a headband. On her face were the thickest glasses that Masao had ever seen and a short frilly dress that was fit for a thirteen year old. And taking a good look at the girl, Masao doubted she was not much older than that.
“Do you sense anything?” Akihito asked Luna, who was sitting on the balcony. She shook her head. “No.. I can’t sense a thing. I figured as much. She looked around the rest of the room and voiced a concern. “I wonder were the jewel is?”
* * *
Somewhere else in the embassy two women were walking down a long hall and talking to each other. “So this is one of the best times of our lives!” One said as they turned to enter a room. “Yeah, a once and a life time event. Princess D is revealing the treasure of her country for the first time in history!.” The disappeared through a doorway and the Princess they were talking about made her way to another door.
She looked sad and depressed. She watched the floor as her two feet were taking her from the hall to the room that held the crystal that everyone was so excited about. If only I were prettier… People might actually be interested in me instead.. She thought to herself, or so she had though.
“That’s right princess!” A female voice sneered at the young girl. Before Princess D could turn around something hit her from behind. The last thing she could remember was being surrounded by a black light and then everything went dark.
Princess D turned around and saw cloths fall to the floor, holding her hands up so she can look at them she smiled. This body is stronger then she gives it credit for. She thought to herself. “This body is only good for one thing; the retrieval of the Crystal!” The voice that was speaking was Princess D’s but sadly it was not Princess D who was controlling it any longer. She was possessed by Onikisu who was on a hell bent mission to take the Silver Crystal and bring his beloved back!
Walking to a stand in the middle of the room Princess D held out her hands to grab a golden box that housed the crystal and she laughed. With all the commotion and laughing the guards at the other side of the door rushed in to see what was happening. “Stop.” Princess D waved her free hand and the two guard stopped dead in their tracks. Onikisu did the only thing he could do in this body; he ran.
* * *
Masao and his group were heading down the main staircase to the main floor wondering what was going on when people started to yell and shout. “Get out of my way!” A harsh, but sweet voice was screaming loudly. People were gasping and yelling back as people were pushing and shoving others out of the way.
“What’s going on?” Masao asked. Luna was laying over his shoulder and watching the scene with interest. She saw Princess D running towards them holding a golden box and pushing people out of her way. Princess D glided past them and started to run up the stairs. Luna felt something evil around her and gasped. “Masao! You must stop her, something’s wrong!” Without even thinking Masao chased the girl up the stairs and Luna jumped off to try and get the attention of the other two that were with them.
Masao reached out for the irate girl yelling at her to stop. “Princess! You must stop, you will hurt yourself!” Masao must of over corrected himself when he reach the top floor because the Princess jerk away from him and pushed at the same time, “Let go of me!”. Masao tripped and fell; over the balcony!
“AHH!” He said as he hand went up out of instinct and Luna ran up the stairs with the other two. Not even thinking of where she was she screamed; “Masao!” No one noticed that a little black cat was running up the stairs screaming for the young boy that had fallen off the balcony. When Masao thought he was finished he felt someone grab his hand. Looking up, he gasped. “Mokusei!”
Down on the stairs, Princess D decided that she wanted to go in a different direction and ran right past Akihito and Mika. “Did you feel that?” Akihito said with shock. The pure hatred and evil he felt from the girl surprised him, no one else can feel that?! He thought with surprise.
Mika looked at the direction that the Princess had run in. “There! Look, something about her… She’s evil.” Mika said worried for the young girl starting at them. Princess D’s eyes were bulged and her skin looked like it was stretching across her face, somewhere along the way she had lost her glasses and hair band; hair pointing every which way.
“you will all become my slaves! Serve me and our Dark Queen!” Princess D cackled to the crowed. Everyone’s eyes around her glazed over and soon more and more people were following. They were being brainwashed by the enemy!
“I’m slipping!” Masao said through clenched teeth. Mokusei grunted and tried to hold of tighter, but he could fell the other man slipping through his hand. Pulling Masao up with one arm, Mokusei tried to reach him with the other hand, but he lost even more of his grip.
Luna finally made it up to the balcony and jumped up on the railing, “Masao!” She screamed and Mokusei looked over at the cat in disbelief. Masao slipped another inch and Mokusei put more of his weight over the edge, before anyone knew what was happening a silver light appeared around all three of time.
Mokusei fell over the edge and the two slowly fell to the ground floor covered in the silver light. Masao looked amazed as did Mokusei and they both touched down on the ground floor, both looking around oddly. “Well, I guess I owe you one!” Mokusei said and ran off.
“Mokusei…” Masao said as he watched the man run into the night and disappear. He shock his head and remembered his mission. “Moon! Solar Power!” He transformed into Sailor Moon and stood there for a moment. Something felt odd, a warm glow felled him and surrounded him. This feeling again… He thought as he remembered the last time this power surged through him.
When the light disappeared this time he was wearing a cape and there were more jewel’s on his armor, he also wore a sword skable, but no sword. He put his fist down to his sides, someone was going to pay for this! He thought angrily. Jumping up to the floor he had just fallen from Sailormoon ran down the stairs to stand next to Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars. “Your late!” Mars said jumping a few feet back to avoid a blast of dark energy.
“The people in here are being absorbed by some kind of dark energy! We can’t help them unless we stop that!” Mercury said pointing to huge image floating above Princess D. “It’s that guy that bumped into me!” Moon said pointing at the image who was now laughing.
“Haha! I, Onikisu, shall take this treasure to my Queen and bring back my beloved!” Mars stepped forward and held out his hand. “Fire Soul!” He yelled as a great ball of flame burst from his out stretched hand and flew towards the dark mass which just absorbed it. Mars gasped and looked back at the others. “It didn’t work!”
“Sailor Moon! Use your light!” A man yelled from behind the group. Sailor Moon turned to see Sailor Earth standing there watching the entire scene. Moon turned back to the huge image before them and nodded. He touched the biggest jewel newly placed on his chest, almost feeling power wielding up in it.
“Sailor Moon! Do what he says!” Luna yelled running down from the stairs and stopping midway between the Sailor Senshi and Sailor Earth. Sailor moon nodded and he could feel the power building up at his touch. The jewel began to burn at his touch and he yelled out, “Moon Twilight Flash!”
A burst of light exploded from the jewel and filled the entire room. The image above the Princess D’s head screamed in pain and vanished, they had killed the monster!
* * *
Onikisu watched has the scene unfolded before him. Growling he crushed the glass ball he was using when Sailor Moon destroyed his shadow. “This is not going to happen!” He screamed and disappeared.
* * *
When the image disappeared Mercury clapped her hands together and sighed with relief. Princess D fell to the floor, passed out, as did all the others who were being controlled by the image. But the Senshi could not celebrate just yet. Earth began to walk down the stairs towards Moon and Mercury when a black energy beam shot out of thin air a slammed in to the man, throwing him up the stairs and through the open doors.
“What the-” Mars said turning and another bead shot in a different direction in Mars and slamming him into a stone wall, blood trailing down his lips. Mercury was the first to react. “Aqua Mist!” She screamed, filling the entire room with a thick mist that no one but the Sailor Senshi could see through.
“Mercury! Are you okay?” Moon asked running up to the girl but stopped. A body appeared in front of him and Mercury. “That won’t work on me, girl!” He said pointing a finger at Mercury. Yelling Moon stepped in front of the girl and the man, a black energy beam closing in on Sailor Moon.
Before it could make contact silver light appeared at the center jewel of Sailor Moon’s chest and consumed the light. A voice that was Sailor Moon’s but not his spoke through Sailor Moon. “Your power’s wont work here, Onikisu!” Sailor Moon held out his hand and gathered more of the silver light into; a ball slowly began to form. Onikisu tried to shimmer away but something was keeping him in place; he couldn’t even move!
“What is happening?!” He screamed as he watched Sailor Moon form more and more energy into that ball of silver light. “I’m finishing this!” The voice said though Sailor Moon’s lips. He pulled the ball of silver light towards him and finished gathering all the alight in the area. “Silver Moon!” He scream as he pushed the massive ball of light at the enemy before him. “Elimination!” He screamed as he pushed the ball of light towards the screaming Onikisu.
The light consumed everything in the building and for blocks surrounding the embassy. As the light faded, nothing was left of Onikisu. “My love… I failed you!” A soft voice said through the fading light. Sailor Moon fell to his knee’s and Mercury went down with him. “What happened?” She asked. Sailor moon just looked at her, he didn’t now either. “I mean, in one moment he was shooting something at us and then he was gone!” Sailor Moon looked at her even more confused, what had happened?
“It doesn’t matter, lets make sure everyone is okay.” Luna had run to check on mars and he was going to be okay, just a few broken ribs, something he has lived through before he reassured them. The Princess was fine and so were all the other guest of the party, they even looked for Sailor Earth for a hour, but couldn’t find any trace of him.
“I’m sure he’s okay.” Mercury said as the left the gardens and enters the ball room again. Sailor Moon just nodded. It seemed the party was going back to before the attack and Princess D showed everyone their nation’s treasure. “A 2000 karate diamond of the first Princess of D!”
“That’s what we risked our lives for just now!” Mars said leaning next to a table, he was already feeling a little better, not needing to lean on Sailor Moon, who had wondered away from the group looking for something to drink. Which was the thing that started this whole mess. Grabbing a dark green filled glass he drank the entire think and start to feel… silly.
He made his way up to the second floor again and rested on the railing. He smelled something familiar as he drifted to and from sleep. Sailor Earth appeared and made sure Sailor Moon didn’t fall to the ground below and brushed the hair out of his face. Why does this seem so familiar? Bending over Sailor Earth was about to…
“Stop right there!” Luna yelled at the man hovering over the sleeping Sailor Moon. “Get away from him!” Sailor Earth parted his lips and let air pass through them, he smiled and stood up to look at the cat. “Why do you keep showing up right when we need you?” The little animal still bombard Sailor Earth with questions.
“I’m also looking for the Silver Crystal…” He said jumping up on the railing and looking out over the city. Luna walked closer to Sailor Earth, “Does that mean you’re are ally, or enemy?” Sailor Earth smiled and looked down at the ground below them. “I wonder that too. Were both after the same thing.” He then looked at Luna with harsh eyes. “I guess that makes me your enemy.” And with that he jumped down to the garden below and ran off, thunder boomed throughout the city as Sailor Earth disappeared in the distance.
* * *
Somewhere else in the city a girl ran down the street to her new apartment. Just making it as the ran came falling down she ran under the covering that protected the door to the building that she was living in. Her lime green hair was tied up into a tight pony tail at the top of her head with the end of the tail almost reaching the ground. She had two lose, thick strains at the sides of her head that fell in front of her shoulders.
She was of medium build and stood taller then most women. Pushing the lose strains of hair out of her sight she watched has the rain began to fall down. “It looks like it has begun…” She said.
