Chapter One

Patricia hurried them through the Gates of the Present; Endymion was holding Princess Serenity in his arms, for after she had revealed the source of all her fears, the poor girl had fainted.

The Celestial Senshi and the Royal Guard of Terra were waiting for the young Royals in the Queen Serenity's private chambers. Hermes of Mercury was seated near his Queen. His eyes were closed as he was relaying a mental communiqué to Artemis. From his position on Terra, they had seen energy of the Senshi's attacks.

He was also cursing their lack of tact. Caroline had seen and heard everything and was now running about like a chicken with its head cut off. She had been telling anyone who would listen about what had happened in that morning. He said they were lucky that happened in the mansion and not anywhere else.

Caroline had been sedated and her friends rushed off the property. Terran was sending in more reports and none of which looked too good. But the System was holding, Ares was making sure of that and the Queen was enforcing that with the power of the Silver Imperial Crystal.

She had received a communication for the Kayuu Galaxy. The ruler there had offered to send her Starlight Senshi to help with their defense, but Serenity declined. When she had been a Senshi, she had problems with the Starlights. They were arrogant to a fault and all seemed to be suffering from some sort of egomania. They wanted to be the best; they got into anyone's face that dared to challenge them. and when Queen Serenity and her Senshi faced them, and the Senshi of the Silver Alliance walked away with the Starlights dignity. She was not going to allow those cross gender freaks into her Kingdom. If it came her taking to arms herself to defeat Chaos, she would gladly do so, for there was no way in hell the Starlights would enter her Solar System.

Endy burst into the room, with Erebus at his heels.

Startled cried came from two or more places about the room, but Endy ignored them as he rushed to lay Sere down.

Queen Serenity rushed to her daughter's side and released the girl's transformation.

"What happened to her?" She asked briskly as she waved Hermes over to examine the Princess.

"She's exhausted," he told her, "She reached into the Time Gates of the past and tried to find out where Chaos was coming from and what she wanted."

"She?" Hermes sounded shocked.

Endy nodded, "It's a woman, darkness has enveloped her and she is truly possessed."

"My Queen," Eros said as she entered the room, "We have communications from Sailor Galaxia and Sailor Sol."

"Yes?" Serenity said a tad impatiently.

Eros nodded stiffly, "They have closed off Chaos' rear and they are herding it forward. The Greater Senshi will support any decision made by you in how they will proceeded."

Serenity frowned. She turned to Athena Diana and asked, "Can you determine our rate of success in an all out battle with the Creature?"

Athena faced her bravely, "At this moment; We stand to lose, your Majesty." She replied gravely.

Serenity ignored the cries of outrage from the others. From the corner of her eye, she saw Endymion's jaw tighten and his eyes darken. Serenity drew herself up and asked the next question.

"What is our rate of success with Cosmos?"

"Stalemate."

Serenity nodded. She turned to face Endymion, "With the Senshi of Terra?" She asked, she saw the hope appear in the young King's eyes.

"The addition is not significant," Athena Diana replied.

"Then factor in the Guardian of Elysium," she told her. "And the Keeper of the Golden Crystal."

Hermes was staring at Serenity and Endymion in shock.

Elysium.

He remembered the first time he was presented to the Helios. It was after the Senshi Wars. Helios was the only child of the God Morpheus and he had been charged by his father to protect dreams and was given the realm of the Sun to rule. Helios was not a Senshi, he ranked above them as a Celestial Guardian, with his cousin Apollo as Senshi of the Sun and Selene his guardian of the Moon. Hermes had been nothing but a boy when his mother, the Goddess Athena, showed him to her master. He recalled how the Guardian smiled down at him, sun bright eyes shining with the all the wisdom and mysteries of the Universe he had created. Hermes had been awe of the fantastic being and had remained so when Helios returned to guide them through the second great war of their solar system's history.

Helios had left the Sun to be with the young Queen of Terra, Gaia De Danaan. His decision also meant that he would not reclaim his position as ruler of the Solar System. Helios had instead chose to let Queen Serenity continue to rule and when she passed, her title would have been shared equally by Endymion and Princess Serenity. Hermes had forgotten that long ago pact. It would have brought two of the most powerful stars in the System into the Silver Alliance and would have united two powerful houses for all eternity.

Endymion was worried. Queen Serenity was right; he would have to fight. He was not afraid of battle, but he had more at stake than just Terra. What could he do that could protect the solar system and Elysium? How was he to decide on what was to be done? . He was doubly blessed with the gifts of the Guardian and Protector; Yet in the same, he was the warrior of Terra and the keeper of the Golden Crystal. He was divided in duties. They were one in the same and yet they were not.

"I am afraid that your choice will indeed be a difficult one, Endymion," she answered his unspoken question. "Nearly all of my Senshi were the children of Gods or Gods themselves like Aphrodite and Zeus. However, a Guardian is different than a Senshi. In your death, we face the death of this system. Your is to live and protect the heart of the universe. And I know, you want to protect Terra. Your heart as Senshi demands it of you. But you will not fight! Lord Helios had hoped to spare you from this fate, from this decision, yet I make for you."

"My father," he said coolly. "My father believed in protecting what is ours. I not stand by and allow this evil to harm this System."

"Endymion," Serenity said softly, "There is no shame in you standing down. It is what your father had done in the previous wars. And you will, too. Let your champion rise for we have little options for our defense and your protection." She held out her hands imploringly. "Endymion, we need the powers of the ancient Gods of Nirvana."

"No." He said coldly.

The Queen went on, imploringly. "Why would you deny us this, Endymion? We will need Cosmos at full strength and with the blessings of the Gods and you to defeat this evil."

"I will not have Serenity fight for me." He ground out through tightly clenched teeth. "I will protect her, Terra, and this universe with my soul."

The Queen turned away in disgust. "Were it allowed, I would appeal to Lord Morpheus myself to do what you now refuse to do. Yet the Gods have been inaccessible to me since I have returned to life. Not even Ares can appeal to his father." She said spat.

"What about Eros?" Endy asked, he turned to the Venusian Queen and said, "You are the daughter of a Goddess. You can summon the powers of…"

"Aphrodite was a new born Goddess of this solar system." Serenity rounded on him. "You know as well as I, that Aphrodite's influence would not effect Chaos. Endymion, you don't understand this at all do you?"

He glared coldly at the silver queen, his dark eye narrowed with contempt. "I understand more than you will ever know."

Serenity sighed and prayed for patience. "Endymion, why do you think Ananke wanted Serenity to rule Terra so desperately?"

"I don't know. But I am sure you are going to enlighten me and my fellows with your theories."

Serenity looked at Hermes and he shrunk away, "I'm assuming it's the truth?" She asked coldly.

"Your guess is as good as mine, Rena." He shrugged. "Artemis was responsible for his education."

Her shoulders drooped, she looked up at Endymion crossly, "And I should just leave you in the dark and let you suffer."

"If you want this star system to survive, I would suggest you make your case for why I should open the gates of Elysium and thrust a bulk of the Gods powers into your daughter, your Majesty," he sneered.

Serenity turned away from him, "Kore, it's time to brush off that book once more and tell this little King why his planet is the most desired in this system." She looked at Endy and smirked, "Take a seat, Endy. We don't have that much to waste."


Alright people, I may redo this chapter, before going on with chapter two. But I just wanted to get something out there.
