Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Seeds of Darkness ❯ Clios and the Sailor Gem ( Chapter 7 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
"Why would you want to kill her?!" Usagi stared at the two cats in disbelief. Her frends stood back, not willing to look either Luna or Artemis in the eye.

Luna looked down. "We had no choice."

"She's a sailor soldiar! Not our enemy!"

Rei folded her arms, looking at the two in anger. "Your going to tell us whats going on."

Artemis sighed, nodding. "Luna?"

Luna nodded. "The guardian was once a close friend of Queen Serenity and the royal family. She was the ruler of Clios, the mystery planet on the far reaches of the solar system. Long ago the moon queen of the past entrusted a sacred gem to the Queen of Clios to protect for all eternity. This was called the Sailor Gem. A mysterious rainbow gem said to channel extreme power. For centuries the sacred gem was kept in safety, until the fall of the silver millenium.

Beryl corrupted a King of Earth, Endymion's brother. The queen sent him to the far planet in the solar system to betray the guardian and steal the sailor gem which would ultimatly be used to destroy the Senshi and swallow their powers. But the guardian princess grew wise to the king's betrayal, she banished him to the far reaches of the galaxy in hope his mind would be healed upon his return to the solar system. To ensure the safty of the Sailor Gem she killed herself, and sealed the gem withen her soul in hope that her charge would remain safe from enemies. Beryl became infuriated, and in her anger she destroyed the planet and slaughtered all of it's inhabitants. For a thousand years the gem was kept in safety, reborn over the years withen the soul of the guardian and it was hoped she would never be awakened. For as the Sailor Gem can channel power, it can also block it, robbing the senshi of their powers."

"So the guardian is.."

Artemis nodded. "Sailor Clios."

"That doesn't explain why you want to kill her." cried Usagi.

"You saw whats been happening lately Usagi. Imagine if evil got a hold of that Gem.. Do you really ant that to happen? The seal to the gem has not yet been broken, there is still time to prevent it."

"No!" Usag yelled as the tears began to well up in her eyes. "I will Not let you kill!"
Breaking away from the group she began to run.

Minako turned her head, calling to her friend. "Usagi!"

==============================

The day had been surprisingly quiet for Pheobe, considering last nights events. She lifted her head, that sound again. The most beutiful violin music she had ever heard. She sighed and began following the melody once more.

============================

Mamoru frowned. "And they want to kill her?"

Usagi nodded sadly. "They said it was for the safety of the planet."

"And do you believe them?"

Usagi shook her head as she caught the faint melody of a violin. "Michiru."

==============================

Pheobe stopped as she turned the corner, gazing upon the marine haired woman before her. She wore an aua green sailor suit with blue eyes, and when she noticed Pheobe, she stopped playing to stare at her.
Glancing behind the young woman she caught sight of another senshi with short sandy hair and holding a saber.
The woman began to approach. "Do you know why we're here?"

Pheobe nodded. "Your going to kill me."

Uranus nodded. "Are you afraid?"

Pheobe smiled sadly. "Make it painless."

"Neptune! Uranus!"

The two senshi looked at Usagi and Mamoru. Pheobe turned around "Usagi."

"Pheobe you don't need to die, your a sailor senshi. You can fight with us!"

"And then what Usagi? I can barely handle four of you around me. The emotions are too strong, and I'm too weak to handle it. It has to be this way."

Uranus nodded. "She's right Odongo."

Usagi shook her head and Mamoru held her in comfort. "No, I won't let it happen!"

Pheobe smiled. "I'll be reborn."

They all shielded thier eyes as a blinding green pillar of light shot down from the sky, covering Pheobe. Pheobe bolted to run, but found herself pulled back to the same spot as she began to lift off the ground.

"Pheobe!" Usagi reached out, grabbing the violet haired girl by the hand.

"Usagi!" Mamoru kept hold of her arm as she was pulled upward too and they all vanished with the pillar of light.
