Chapter 3: The End of the Silver Millennium

[Author's Note: In this chapter Lea, Serena, and the twin
princes find out I work for the Negaverse, the Silver Millennium
is destroyed and everyone but me loses their memories.]


"Nephlyte," I asked after we had just made out. As I had
said at the end of Chapter two, I was the princess of the Negaverse
and I hadn't told Lea. I was always making some excuse about where
I had just been or where I was going. She never knew how I
deceived her.
"Yes, my sweet," he said snuggling up against me.
"What's gonna happen? To us, I mean," I said in a sad tone.
I felt him move so that he was on top of me again. He gave teasingly
erotic kisses to me which I found really arousing. I wanted him
to do what he had been doing again, and he could tell by my squirming.
"Well," he said when he stopped kissing my face. I groaned in disappointment
at the halt. "We won't lose. At least the queen
won't lose, but the Moon and Sun kingdoms probably will. And you
know how the queen can get when we win. Oh, Justine. Can't you
think of yourself more than others in need? What is it you want?
Whatever it is, Justine, I can give to you."
I smiled devilishly at what he had just said. "Whatever
I want?" I asked innocently.
He smiled at what I had meant. "Yes, my love, whatever
it is you want I will do it for you."
"Neph," I said, "make out with me again."
"As you wish," he laughed and we started again.
As soon as I got back to the Sun Kingdom . . .
"Lady Justine," I heard bellow in the throne room of the
Sun. King Tranquil, usually a man who lived up to his name, had
found out that I had gone to the Negaverse with Lea on a spy mission.
Both Lea and I found out, the hard way, that no one other than the
spies could go on a spy mission.
"Yes, King Tranquil," I said, "I know I shouldn't have
gone with your daughter, but at least we weren't hurt."
"Lady Justine," said the king, "you may not have gotten
hurt, but you should have still been against letting her go to the
Negaverse. You aren't just her aide, you're her friend, and friends
advise us not to do what is wrong."
"I know, Your Majesty," I said. Friends advise us not to do
what is wrong, huh, I thought. Well, what if you didn't tell your
friend about something that would be really important in a war. That
would be the hard thing to say. "I am sorry, Your majesty. I was
wrong and I am sorry. I won't do it again," I said with an apologetic
tone. I really didn't mean it, but no one seemed to notice it.
"Well," he said, "as long as you don't do it again I guess
I won't punish you. But, Lady Justine, this is your first and only
warning. I am fighting a war against the Negaverse. I don't want to
have to fight one against you too." You already are, I thought.
You already are.
"What did you mean by that?" asked Lea, giving me a seriously,
angry glare.
"By what?" I asked immediately turning on my mental blockers.
"By what you were just thinking."
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"You know exactly what I am talking about. The things you
said about already being in a war with my father and my aunt. What
is that supposed to mean?" By this time she was pretty much in tears,
as was I.
"Lea, in your heart you know why I thought that. I am now on
the Negaverse. You know how dangerous it can be, and I know you
wouldn't pass up a chance to get me back from there. But, you know
you can't. I will tell Beryl. You can count on it."
"So you are going to resign?" she asked.
"I have been thinking of it, but not today," I said,
"tonight is too important. I will wait to resign tomorrow."
"Justine," Lea said, "I have a question."
"What is it?" I asked. I was in a bit of a hurry and
Nephlyte would hate it if I were late for one of our special
dates.
"Why did you go to the Negaverse?"
"You may find this really stupid," I said, "but I went because
I was in love with Nephlyte."
"No," said Lea, "Nephlyte couldn't be- I mean he wouldn't go-
No, Justine I won't believe it. He couldn't do that to Hiro or
Darien."
"He is, Lea," I said sadly, "you see the day before he and
I met, Queen Beryl had turned him against the guys, you, Serena,
and Lita. But that is not the worst part."
"There's more?" she asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes," I said, "there is my friend. Nephlyte told me that
not only was he turned against everyone, but so were Jedite, Zoicyte,
and Malachite. I couldn't believe it either, but then he proved it
to me by bringing me to the Negaverse and well now I am Princess."
"You are the Princess of that evil kingdom," she said as she
looked at me as if I were the lowest thing to ever walk the Sun.
"I must say 'yes' to that one, but believe me," I said, "I
don't want to be enemies with you or the Moon Kingdom. I have been
trying to change Beryl's mind on this 'defeating the moon and sun
kingdom' idea. I think she is thinking of destroying me also. You
see my only reason for joining the Negaverse was Nephlyte. I loved
him and I would not be able to stand being a day without him. I love him so much."
"So you really don't want to be on that side, but it's your
only way to be with the one you love," she said with a smile.
"Why are you so happy? I could get killed for this,"
I said, "and so could Nephlyte."
"I am happy for 2 very good reasons," she said laughing.
"One reason is, I don't have to worry that you have someone to
love and who loves you. Nephlyte does love you, doesn't he? Two,
hey if you're going to be at the ball tonight, it's great to know
that you are still on my side, even if you aren't at my side."
"Okay," I said, "but you're gonna have one bad thing happen."
"What's so bad?" she asked.
"The Princes of Earth," I said, "they might not be able to
come to the ball. You see Beryl is going to attack the earth first,
then she plans to, well, attack the Moon Kingdom."
Lea hugged me and comforted me. I was the one crying now.
I didn't want my best friend to die. I loved her like a little
sister. I wanted to keep her safe if only her, Hiro, and Nephlyte.
No way was Beryl gonna kill her or Hiro. I didn't have to worry
too much about Nephlyte. He was already on Beryl's side. I had
to do something drastic to stop Beryl.
"Lea," I said, pulling away from her, "I gotta go."
"Is it the Negaverse?" she asked.
"No," I said, "I am doing this for both your and Serena's
kingdoms. I will keep the two of you safe no matter what happens
to me."
"Don't try anything that could get you hurt," she said,
"I won't let you die."
"I know," I said, and I ran off telling myself that
I would defeat whatever got in my way.


A few hours later...

"Justine," said Lea, "I was so worried about you. I
thought you had been killed. I am so distressed."
"Why princess?" I asked my mistress. We went outside
to the terrace. She looked as if something horrible had happened.
"Lea, what's wrong?" I asked again.
"Prince Darien and Hiro haven't been seen or heard from in days,"
she said in a sad tone, "I am so worried, not just for myself but
for my cousin too. She loves Darien so much."
As she said that, not only did we see Princess Serena, but
we also saw the princes.
"Lady Justine, princesses down here." I heard two
whispered voices say.
"Hey guys," I whispered down to them. A conversation went
on that is pretty hard to remember so I won't write down what
was said. I went in a few minutes later. As I came down the
steps to the ballroom I heard a deep voice from behind me.
"My lady, might I have this dance?" said the man. I
turned my head down to see who it was when all of a sudden
I was guided down the stairs and pulled into Nephlyte's loving arms.
"Of course you may," I giggled. We started dancing and
then he brought his lips to mine and we kissed. All of a sudden,
I opened my eyes to a horrible boom. Nephlyte was outside with
Darien's other former generals. 'What's going on here?' I asked
myself. 'Oh no,' I thought, 'Beryl went with the old plans. Now
I have to try to kill her to save my friends.'
I went outside and there she was. Beryl. Ugly old
Beryl. And just about to kill Serena, Lea, and Luc. I saw
a rainbow colored flash come across my face. Two roses stuck in
the ground. Red and blue. I threw a laser at her. The four
looked at me not just in astonishment but in sadness. I knew
what was about to come, but I didn't care.
"Traitor!" She called out. "You swore you would only be
loyal to the Negaverse, but instead you save them. You little
traitor." In a moment I felt nothing. Nothing but pain. 'I am
sorry my friends,' I thought to them, 'I am truly sorry. I
wanted to save you. One day, if we ever meet again, I will ask for your forgiveness.'
