Taiki and Yaten stood in the grocery store parking lot.
“Bro, don’t do this. If you love her, you should want her to be happy.” Maker attempted to reason with the now crazed Seiya.
“She’s not happy. She is only pretending to be happy with Mamoru-baka. How can she love him. I researched their history. He betrayed her more than once. Mamoru doesn’t deserve Usagi. And I’m going to make her see it.” Seiya turned the key in the ignition and revved the engine. “Be ready to leave when I get back.” Seiya drove in the direction of the Rose Palace.
“Oh shit. He’s lost it,” Taiki said.
“Really? What makes you say that? Could it be the fact that he tried to strangle me? Or maybe it’s the way he threw you out of the car? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s the fact that he’s planning to kidnap Usagi?”
Yaten sat on the curb and lowered his face into his hands.
“Sarcasm is not necessary,” Taiki retorted. “What we need to do is contact the girls and let them know what’s going on.” Taiki searched his pocket for his cellular phone.
“Princess Kakyuu warned us something like this might happen,” Yaten sighed.

“Healer, Maker, please sit down.”
“Yes,” they replied in unison.
Princess Kakyuu sat down and removed her headdress. She let her red hair fall in waves to the floor.
“There is something very important I must discuss with you..” Kakyuu picked up a brush and began to comb her hair. She hesitated and began to speak once more. “There is a threat to the safety of the universe.”
Maker and Healer looked at each other.
“With all due respect Princess, shouldn’t Fighter be here as well,” Taiki asked.
“Actually Maker,” Princess Kakyuu began, “Fighter might be part of the problem.” Sensing their confusion. Kakyuu continued.
“As you well know, Tsukino Usagi is destined to marry Chiba Mamoru.” Taiki and Yaten nodded. “What you may not know is that the future peace of the universe is dependent on this union.”
“What are you saying Princess,” Healer asked.
“Fighter’s infatuation could jeopardize the future’s peace. Fighter is dead set on being with Usagi. However, if that were to happen, the results would be disastrous,” Kakyuu said matter of factly.
“I still don’t understand how Fighter could play a role in this,” Maker said.
Princess Kakyuu walked over to Healer and Maker. She placed a hand on each of their shoulders. They were overcome with visions of the future: Usagi’s wedding, her coronation as Neo-Queen Serenity, the birth of Chibi-Usa. The two Starlights were in awe. They saw Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion rule justly. They kept the peace without resorting to war. It was inspiring. The final part of the vision was the annual convocation of Sailor Senshi. There were hundreds, no thousands, of senshi. The warriors came from all corners of the galaxy. They gathered at the request of Neo-Queen Serenity. She wanted all Sailor Senshi to understand each other. The Starlights saw themselves at the head table with Neo-Queen Serenity and the senshi of Crystal Tokyo.
“Princess, is this the future,” Healer asked.
Kakyuu nodded. “This is one possibility. However, if Usagi were to be separated from Mamoru, this will not come to pass.”
“How? From what I saw Usagi was the source of the lasting peace. Not Mamoru. So one could assume that no matter who Tsukino-san married, the result would be the same,” Maker reasoned.
Kakyuu shook her head. “Maker my dear, you could not be more wrong.” Kakyuu positioned herself directly in front of Taiki. “Even though you don’t see, Mamoru is an intricate part of this. His love, support and wisdom guided Usagi, as it always has. Mamoru stabilizes Usagi.”
Kakyuu walked back to her chair. “Usagi has a tremendous amount of power within her. At times it overwhelms her, almost driving her mad. Mamoru’s love keeps her on an even keel. Usagi relies on Mamoru. Even though he doesn’t have powers like Usagi or the senshi, his love for her is the greatest power of all.
Understanding washed over Maker and Healer. Usagi and Mamoru’s destinies are connected. Together they were the greatest force for good, but apart they were impotent.
Healer still had another question. “So exactly how is Seiya a threat to this great peace?”
“Love is a very powerful emotion. It has inspired some of the most wondrous works of arts. On the other hand, it has been the catalyst for some of the universe’s bloodiest wars.” Kakyuu paused to take a drink. “Fighter is ruled by her emotions. Love is an emotion that is easily manipulated. Simple gestures of friendship can be mistaken as amorous. Affection can turn to obsession. And obsession can lead to madness.”
“I see,” Maker and Healer said simultaneously.
“Fighter must not let her emotions overtake her,” Kakyuu said earnestly. “I am asking that you protect Usagi and Mamoru from Seiya.”
Maker and Healer were dumbfounded. Kakyuu continued, “At all costs.”
Healer slumped down in her chair. She understood what Kakyuu was asking.

“Ami, it’s Taiki.” Ami’s heart began to race. She always had feelings for the intellectual Starlight, but never had the courage to act on them.
“Uhh, yeah.” When did you get back?”
“A couple of hours ago. Listen, there isn’t much time. If you see Seiya, stop him from getting near Usagi and Mamoru. The future depends on it.”

A black SUV sped into the parking lot of the Rose Palace. Seiya slammed on the brakes and jumped out of the truck, leaving the engine running. He ran toward the door when he slammed into Naru.
“Gomen. I’m in a hurry.” Seiya looked at the person he bumped into. ‘This is perfect,’ Seiya thought.
“You’re late. The wedding was over hours ago and the reception is half over.” Naru inched closer to Seiya. ‘He could be just the one to help me get Nephrite-sama back.’
“I know. I tried to get here sooner, but I had a few thing that held me up.” Seiya knew when a women was flirting with him. Somehow, Seiya got the impression that he wasn’t the fish she was trying to catch.
“Why don’t I take you inside and we can congratulate Usagi -- together. What do you say?” Naru placed her hand on Seiya’s shoulder.
“Sure. Let’s go.”
Seiya and Naru walked toward the reception hall with nothing but ulterior motives between them.
Taiki and Yaten stood in the grocery store parking lot.
