Silver Millenium:
Princess Amy was nervous. Today she was to meet the Supreme Princess. Today she was to pledge her life to someone that she didn't know.
Okay, so she was a little more than just nervous, she was down right scared. What if she didn't even like this princess? Or what if this princess didn't like her? How would she spend the rest of her life protecting someone that she didn't like? So many questions rolled around Amy's young mind.
Today was supposed to be a day for her to celebrate. Today was her birthday. But instead, she was told that is was now time for her to start her training. She was trying hard to put her duty before herself, but that was something very hard for a child to do.
"May I present Queen Helena of Mercury and her daughter, Princess Amy of Mercury," the announcer's voice boomed through Amy's thoughts.
Amy looked up at her mother, fear reflecting in their deep blue orbs.
The Mercurian queen was a short, beautiful woman. Her small tiara glittered in her long blue hair. Her own blue eyes looked reassuringly at her daughter, briefly squeezing her hand before stepping into the main hall.
The shy, eight-year-old followed her mother into the large room. The walls gleamed with silver and white. The long red rug led up to the queen's throne and the white platform around her. The whole place sparkled brightly. Amy was awed for it was her first time ever being to the moon.
'She is very pretty,' Amy thought, as she gazed awe-struck at the Moon Queen.
Her long silvery-blond hair was up in two buns with the long strands hanging down, gently touching the floor. Her dress was a tight fitting white satin, a blue bow graced the front. Her blue eyes shone brightly as she waited to greet her long-time friend.
There were three scouts behind the queen. Amy recognized them from the books that she read.
The first was Sailor Pluto. Amy had read that she was immortal, a term that amazed the young girl. Amy was looking forward to talking with her. She was sure that Pluto was full of information that her young mind craved, especially since no one was quite sure just where she had come from. As far as Amy knew she was the first scout.
The second was a young, tomboyish girl, looking around the age of nine. Amy recognized her fuku as that of Sailor Uranus. Uranus looked curiously at her, Amy felt herself immediately shy away from the bold look.
The last was Sailor Neptune. Even at a young age, she held a graceful stance. Her aquamarine hair falling in gentle waves to her shoulders. She smiled gently at Amy, attempting to reassure the new girl.
Amy then turned to look at the Supreme Princess. She sat regally in her chair. Her long blond hair was drawn up like her mother's. Her blue eyes looked kindly at Amy. The mercurian felt drawn to her. Princess Serenity smiled at her and Amy felt herself smile in return.
Standing next to the princess was a young blonde that looked quite a lot like the Princess Serenity, but she wore the fuku of Sailor Venus. Amy had read that Venus had been living with the royal family since she had turned five and she became a scout at seven. She was going to be the leader of the inner scouts. Amy looked up at her blue eyes and was surprised when the other girl winked.
Next to Venus was a raven-haired girl. She was Sailor Mars. Unlike those around her, Mars didn't seem completely at ease with her surroundings. Amy knew that she had come this same way just a few months ago. She looked up at Amy and gave her a tight smile.
As they reached the edge of the red carpet, Amy followed her mother's lead and curtsied before the Supreme Queen and her court. Her legs trembled as she bowed low, her face nearly touching the ground.
"Greetings, Queen Helena," Queen Serenity spoke, her voice soft and melodic.
"Greetings, Queen Serenity," Helena smiled, bowing her head. Then she stood straight, motioning back one perfectly manicured hand towards the shy princess. "May I present to you and the court, my daughter, Amy."
The queen stood up, holding her hand out for her own daughter.
Princess Serenity stood, placing her small hand in her mother's. Together they walked gracefully down the stairs, gliding to a stop in front of the royal family of Mercury.
Queen Helena stepped back leaving her daughter to stand alone in front of the Moon Queen and princess.
She nervously clutched her hands in front of her soft blue dress. Doubts beginning to run rapid in her mind again. She had this uncontrollable urge to run.
"Princess Amy, do you accept your role to protect the Moon Princess and the royal family?" Queen Serenity asked softly, sensing the girl's uneasiness. "Do you accept your destiny as Sailor Mercury, the scout of ice and water?"
Princess Amy looked nervously at Princess Serenity. She gulped and bowed her head. Her voice shaking as she responded, "I do, your highness." Then in a slightly stronger voice, she added, "I pledge my loyalty and faithfulness to the Supreme Princess Serenity."
Queen Serenity smiled as she stepping back, motioning to her daughter to continue.
Princess Serenity smiled brightly at the scared scout-to-be. She held up her hand, the henshin of Mercury appeared. She glided closer to Amy, holding out the stick to her. "Princess Amy of Mercury, I accept your pledge of loyalty and service."
Amy's small fingers shook when they closed around the henshin. She looked up wide-eyed at Princess Serenity, unsure of what to do.
Suddenly, a soft voice filled her mind, whispering the words she needed to say.
Amy raised the henshin in the air, calling out for the first time, the words that would change her life forever.
"Mercury Power!"
Her soft blue dress faded away. Ice bubbles circled around her, filling her veins with their power. At first Amy thought that she would freeze to death, then her body became accustomed to the strength offered to her. Her fuku formed around her body.
She struck her pose, feeling very different than she had just a few minutes ago. She felt stronger, surer of herself. Her soft blue eyes fell on the princess.
Serenity smiled, taking the new Mercury's gloved hand into her own. She whispered low. "Welcome to my home, Amy."
She turned her around for the court to see. "May I present Sailor Mercury."
Mercury was surprised to see everyone present, including her mother bow before her. She turned to look up at the Moon Queen and the other scouts.
They each reassured her in their own way.
Her eyes fell onto the younger Serenity. For the first time, Amy felt secure. She felt that she was finally where she belonged. 'I'm home.'
Eight years later:
Princess Amy sat in the library, reading a book. It was one of the few times that she wasn't in uniform. Her blue satin dress was surprisingly low cut. It's bodice hung to her curves, the skirts billowing out to cover her chair. On the thin straps were small gold hearts. A small satin string was tied around her neck in a bow. The symbol of Mercury shown on her forehead much like Serenity's moon symbol shown on hers.
She was lost in her book, so she did not notice a young man come up to stand in front of her. He wore a blue-gray uniform, with green trim. His long blond hair was pulled back in a ponytail at the base of his neck. His green eyes stared longingly at the young princess before him.
He knelt down in front of her, knowing that she wasn't aware of him just yet. He smiled mischievously, knowing he was about to change that. He reached over and closed the book, causing her to cry out in protest. He gently put a finger to her lips, causing her to quiet.
"Ames, I love you," Zoicite said, laughing as her eyes turned wide, her book falling forgotten on the floor.
Amy took his face in her hands, a smile coming across her features. "I love you too, Zoi."
A grin spread across his features, before he claimed her mouth in a kiss.
Unknown to the young lovers, another pair stood watching them in the door.
The blonde turned her blue eyes to the midnight-blue of her lover, her joy reflected brightly in them. She found herself lost in his gaze, drinking in the love she saw there.
Her lover smiled back, tracing his finger along her jaw. He lowered his head to brush a kiss across the symbol of the moon. Then he turned them away, leaving the two alone in the room.
Last Moments of the Moon Kingdom:
Sailor Mercury looked on in horror as she watched her beloved Zoicite slice brutally through the people of the moon, the people she was supposed to protect, leaving a trail of blood behind him.
He slowly stalked his way to her, stopping in front of his prey, flashing a sinister smile. He had finally reached his prey. The woman that Beryl had ordered him to kill.
"Zoi," Mercury whispered. Her eyes bright with unshed tears. "I don't understand," she said, shaking her head. "Why are you doing this?"
He looked at her in amusement. "I am following the orders of my queen. You shall die at my hand."
His voice sent chills down her back, sending a few tears down her sad, pale face. "But you swore your love to me," the blue-haired scout spoke desperately. She stepped forward, reaching out to him, but was stopped by his sword at her neck.
"Love?" the blond general laughed hollowly. "I don't know what love is."
Mercury searched his dull, lifeless black eyes, knowing that the man she loved was gone. He was replaced with something else, something dark and disturbing. Her heart constricted painfully, more tears falling down her pale cheeks; all hope left her small body. She had to protect her princess at the cost of her love. Her heart screamed as she made her decision. But in her heart she knew that she had no choice, her princess was more important.
"Mercury Ice Bubbles Freeze!"
She threw her attack as Zoicite drew back his sword and plunged it in her chest.
Pain seared through her body as she watched her attack hit him, sending him to his knees. Mercury too fell to her knees, her fingers closing around his sword, painfully removing it from her body. Her stomach rolling as she saw her own blood cover her pure white gloves. She watched in fascination as the white material of her bodysuit turned red.
Zoicite felt his body rip apart as her ice tore through him. He fought the darkness that was covering his soul, wishing for nothing more than a last moment with his love.
Winning his body, the green retook his pupils. Looking up in horror, he saw Mercury pull his sword from her chest, blood oozing from her wound. "Ames..." the sob tore from his chest. Regret and sorrow filled him.
Amy looked up at him, tears of happiness coming to her eyes as he crawled to her. She had him back, even if it was in her last moment, she had him back.
"Oh god, Ames," Zoicite said, struggling to breath. "I'm... so... sorry."
"It's alright," she said, placing a kiss to his already cooling lips. She felt her own body beginning to slow down as the blood continued to drain from her body. She knew that she would die not long after he did, if not before. Somehow that was strangely comforting to her.
"I... love... you," Zoicite whispered with his last breath.
Mercury sobbed as she reached down and closed his eyes. "I love you too," her voice catching in her throat. She coughed, blood coming out of her lips. She gently laid Zoicite on the ground, laying her head on his chest. Her eyes falling on the scene of the battlefield, death and decay everywhere she looked.
She finally found the princess on her balcony, safe for the moment.
Tears were falling down the blonde's face. Her eye wide with horror as she looked at Mercury's dying body. "Amy," she whispered.
Mercury struggled to smile for her, and was rewarded with Serenity's own trembling smile. Amy wheezed her last breath, staring into Serenity's serene blue eyes, filling her with a sense of peace. Her own blue closed as her world ended tragically.
