Chapter 20: When
Planets Collide
Moon Place one month later)
A servant walked through the palace to Princess Serenity’s room with a letter in his hand it had came in the post this morning with no return address. Normally unmarked letters wouldn’t be delivered to the royal family without being opened and the sender identified but the Princess had requested that any letters unmarked letters coming in a blue envelope be sent to her without inspection. He reached her door knocking on it the Princess answering the door within a few seconds. “A letter for you your highness,” The servant said handing her the letter.
“Thank you,” Princess Serenity said taking it the closing the door. Her face grew to a smile as she turned to Venus who was sitting on her bed reading a comic book. The inners training was almost done being put back on full time since Pluto’s return after the incident with Neptune and Uranus’ marriage. Pluto had been mad at the girls for helping and had increased their studying time. Now they were in class for most of the day and on the weekends they only got one day off that day being today. “It’s from Endyimon.” Princess Serenity said.
“What does it say?” Venus asked sitting up and putting the comic book on the bed.
“Bunny, I can’t take this waiting and only speaking to you by letter. I want to see you, to hold you in my arms. Meet me tonight at the old moon shrine north of my palace. Love Endy.” Princess Serenity read aloud. “He wants me to meet him on Earth.”
“Serenity I thought he said it wasn’t safe for you there.” Venus said in the last few months peace talks between the Moon and the Earth hadn’t been going well. Queen Beryl had been opposed to it from the start and she was gaining more followers each day. Most of the ambassadors from the Moon had left either sick of the rudeness they received or with the death threats against them. A few actually had several assassination attempts.
“I know he wouldn’t send me into harms way. The Moon Shrine has been abandoned for centuries. There will be no one there but us and I’m sure he’ll bring one or two of his generals with him to keep an eye out.” Princess Serenity said.
“I don’t like it.” Venus said, “It doesn’t feel right. I’m coming with you, couldn’t hurt to have a body guard of your own, besides that’s my job I am the beautiful Sailor Venus leader of the inner senshi.”
“Oh fine you can come with me. I’m sure your beauty will make any attacker swoon.” Princess Serenity said. “Though I’m sure the only one that will be swooning will be General Kunizite.”
“If he’s there it’s just all the better but my duty is to protect you.” Venus giggled. “So how do we get out without anyone knowing we are gone?”
“Endy and I used to only meet late at night everyone will be asleep. Meet me here at midnight and I’ll use this watch he gave me to transport us to the earth.” Princess Serenity said pulling out a watch shaped like a star.
(Later that night)
Venus walked down the hallway towards Princess Serenity’s room trying her best not to be seen by anyone. She opened the door to Princess Serenity’s room meeting her goal of not being seen. She walked into the first room though it was dark but she could see a light coming from the bedroom and walked into the room seeing Princess Serenity putting on a cloak. The cloak was a dirty off white color and looked rather worn. Princess Serenity turned around seeing Venus standing there and handed her another cloak. “Put this on to cover your clothes so you blend in incase anyone sees you.” Princess Serenity said as she pulled the hood of the clock low covering her forehead. “Be sure to cover your forehead. On the Earth your planetary symbol is visible”
“Are you sure this is safe?” Venus asked putting the cloak on also pulling the hood over her face.
“Endy will be there and you are almost done with your training I think I should be safe enough.” Princess Serenity said. “Ok are you ready to go?” Venus nodded and Princess Serenity pulled out the watch opening it a beautiful melody playing she took Venus’ hand and twisted a knob on it both of them disappearing in a green light.
(Moon Shrine, Earth)
The courtyard was empty not a soul around except a woman with dark red hair standing behind a low wall with several soldiers dressed as common people. She watched as a green light appeared in the courtyard and two women appeared, “Damn she was supposed to come alone. No problem we can still do this.” The woman said gesturing to her men to move towards the women.
“Which one is the target Queen Beryl?” One of the men carrying a long bow said.
“The princess is the blonde.” Queen Beryl said pointing at the blonde before her as the other woman turned around having blonde hair as well “Damn! They both are blonde! Then kill the one on the right! Kill her first then wound the other. I want the Moon Palace knowing their princess was killed on Earth.”
“What if that one isn’t the princess?” Another of the men asked scratching his head with his free hand.
“It is unimportant! Then one of the princess’ guards is killed and the princess is wounded either way we reach our goal.” Queen Beryl said knowing that whoever was with the Princess had to be a senshi and killing one of them wouldn’t have quite the same effect as killing the princess but it would greatly affect the moon kingdom.
“As you wish your highness.” The first man said as Queen Beryl as teleported back to the Palace. Endyimon was promised to her and this spoiled royal brat wouldn’t take him away from her.
(Palace, Earth)
Endyimon stood in his room looking up at the moon above them thinking of his Moon Princess wishing he wasn’t engaged to Beryl and Princess Serenity’s mother would allow them to be together. He stopped closing his eyes sensing her very near then turned and ran to one of the adjoining rooms. “Kunzite, Zoeite, Jadeite, Nephrite get up Princess Serenity is here.”
“What? Why would she be here?” A sleepy Nephrite said sitting up looking at his Prince.
“I don’t know I told her not to come here that it isn’t safe why would she come?” Endyimon said shacking Jadeite waking him up. “Get up.”
“Where is she?” Kunzite said already standing and putting his sword on.
“At the old Moon Shrine come on hurry up.” Endiymon said urging the others out of bed. Once they were up and dressed he teleported them to the Shrine. Across from them they saw two women in cloaks standing looking around the courtyard of the shrine. They scanned the area a little more seeing several men with bows aimed at the pair of women.
(Across the courtyard)
Princess Serenity and Venus looked around for Endiymon for several minutes not seeing him, “Serenity, are you sure this is where he wanted you to meet him?” Venus asked.
“Yes we always meet here. Well at least we used to always meet here. Just a few more minutes okay?” Princess Serenity said.
“Only a few more then, I have a bad feeling about this and it just doesn’t feel right.” Venus said calling her transformation pin to her had quietly and holding it by her side where no one could see it.
“There he is and look he brought all four generals with him.” Princess Serenity said spotting Endyimon across the courtyard.
She started walking towards them Endyimon saying something to her but she couldn’t understand what he was saying. Venus instictively grabbed Princess Serenity’s hand stopping her and began to scan the area. She looked over to where Endyimon was pointing and saw a man on a ridge with a bow and arrow. The man now knew that his cover was blown and aimed at the princess. The arrow let fly aimed straight at them.
Without really thinking, Venus pushed Princess Serenity out of the way accidentally stepping in front of the arrow herself. The sharp head made solid contact to her right shoulder knocking her to the ground next her Princess.
“Minako!” Princess Serenity said crawling over to her cousin, friend and bodyguard. Venus chuckled a lttle and threw her cloak off entirely. “That was real careless of me. Serenity, get the hell out of here!” Venus said sitting up breaking the arrow off and pushing the princess towards the bushes on the edge of the courtyard. Venus watched her charge crawl over to the bushes then tried to push herself up to fight off the attackers but pain attacked her head and she fell back down. She felt a pair of strong hands help her up and looked up into Kunzite’s eyes. “Kunzite.” She said.
“You’re hurt you should take cover with the Princess. We’ll take care of this.” Kunzite said.
“No, it’s my duty to protect her.” Venus said getting her footing and pulling out her transformation pen. “Venus Planet Make up!” She shouted transforming into her senshi form. Blood trickled down her arm indcatating the wound still there but smaller. Her Senshi powers were healing it a little.
“We need all the help we can get there are more coming!” Jadeite shouted pointing to the large amount of men charging at them. There had to be a full garrision decending on them. It almost made him sick that he would have to fight his own men. But it mattered less whom was giving them orders and more keeping them from killing the crowned princess of the moon kingdom.
(Back at the Earth Palace)
Queen Beryl sat in her room staring at a crystal ball watching the battle at the moon shrine she watched as the arrow missed Princess Serenity hitting her guard. She also watched as Endyimon and his generals appeared. They must have sensed the Princess coming to Earth and transported there to protect her. No worries she could use this to her advantage she wanted a major incident to distance the moon from Earth. What more a golden opportunity then a major battle between the two. So what if a few generals were killed as well that only meant fewer things in her way. She called the archer she was talking to earlier his face appearing in the crystal ball. “Orders have changed I’m sending you more men kill everyone from the moon. If any of the generals get in the way kill them as well. Prince Endiymon is not to be harmed am I understood?”
“Yes, your highness, kill those of the white moon, the generals are expendable and the Prince is not to be harmed.” The man said saluting her then the crystal appeared in the barracks of Queen Beryl’s guard where she gave them the same orders.
(Back at the Moon Shrine)
“There are too many! Whoever this is, their calling in most of the specials of the royal army!” Zoeite shouted fending off another attacker.
“Should I call the other senshi?” Venus said throwing off another crescent beam. The beam met several of its marks but the downed men were replaced almost instantaneously.
“We can’t let Pluto know what is happening here!” Endiymon said worried that if all the senshi were called, Pluto would come and his secret romance with Princess Serenity would be doomed.
“I won’t send out a general message I’ll send it to everyone but Pluto.” Venus said getting a nod from Prince Endiymon. Even though she thought that it was doubtful that they could move without Pluto knowing but she was going to try it anyway.
(Miranda Palace, Uranus)
Uranus lay in bed staring at the ceiling. Since coming back and being crowned Queen she now lived in her parents suite. She remembered coming here as a child mostly after having bad dreams and her father telling her that she could sleep here with him and he would protect her from the bad dreams. She looked up at the night sky in this room there was magic cast on the ceiling allowing the sky to be seen through it. Many years ago one of the Queens of Uranus had it installed so she could see the sky without going outside. Uranus was glad for it and completely understood why it was built she would sit for hours staring up looking through the stars until she found Neptune then stared at it until she would fall asleep to dream about being in her lover’s arms. “Three more months then I can see her.” Uranus said aloud then sat up hearing a watch on her wrist beep. She looked down at her watch seeing a message from Venus.
--Need help immediately! Princess in danger! Pluto is not to be informed!—
Uranus stood quickly from her bed calling her transformation pen transforming then teleporting to the coordinates listed on the message. Across the solar system four other senshi did the same.
(Back at the Moon Shrine)
Venus stood towards the bushes Princess Serenity hid. With her back against Kunzite he was mostly holding her up. The wound on her shoulder had taken quite a bit out of her and she was starting to feel weak. Best she could figure was it was some sort of enchanted arrow because Moon people could not get ill by normal means.
The first of the senshi to appear was Uranus who flew in from the south and landed gently on the ground. Followed by Mars, who appeared with a flash of fire. Jupiter appeared as a lightening bolt striking down from the heavens. Mercury appeared from a cloud of dense fog. Lastly, Neptune appeared jumping out of the nearby ocean the water splitting seamlessly for her exit. Venus was a little surprised at first to see Neptune there as she was well into her fifth month of pregnancy it no longer being a secret. The Senshi of the sea’s Fuku not providing any distortions to her growing belly. The Senshi and generals formed a circle around the princess with Venus and Kunzite in the center as a last defense for the princess.
“What’s going on here? It looks like the entire Earth army is here.” Asked Jupiter.
“They keep coming We’ve been fighting endless waves sence the started attacking.” Kunzite said now having spun around to hold Venus as she could barely stand on her on.
“They got her?” Asked Mars looking at Venus.
“Shut up Mars, I’m not out yet.” Venus said trying to step forward and nearly collapseing.
“Look, lets stop the petty party okay.” Mercury said calling her visor and looked at the data as it crossed her eyes. “This is what we’re going to do. Jupiter, Uranus; you both are on complete offense. Jupiter, try to centralize your ranged attacks to the commanders on the field. The men will start to get disorganized if they don’t have somebody leading them by the nose.”
“Got it!” Jupiter took a running jump into the crowd and lightening flashes could already been seen.
“Uranus, your on aerial assault. Try to take out as many of the ranged attackers as you can. Try to do large sweeps as it will prevent you from getting hit.”
“Like they could even hit me. Space Buster Sword!” she said as she caught space buster from the air. “I’ll be just fine, I’ve been waiting to test myself on an open field.” Uranus smirked and leapt off into the sky appearing as nothing but a blur flying over and taking out large lines of archers.
“Mars, your on ranged offense until they get to close and then your on defense.” Mercury said. Mars walked forward and started launching attacks over the hill at large groups of her opponents.
“Neptune, you stay back here with me and call up your powers to provide defenseive techniques.”
“You won’t hear any complaints from me.” Neptune said. The battle progressed slowly and painstakeingly. The Senshi defending where barly able to hold back the lines. The ones on offense found themselves dealing with far more advanced troops then they though were poassilbe from earth forces.
“You moon whore! I’ll have you as my bed maiden!” one solider barked at Uranus as she landed to do some hand to hand combat. He lunged forward and grabbed her from behind. Uranus tried to struggle free but found the earthling stronger then her expectations.
“Let go of me you fool! Why are you attacking us? We’ve done nothing but protect you.” Uranus said finally broke free and spun to face her attacker. But, as soon as she spun he cought her by surprise and knocked space buster out of her hand he also took a slash at her with a dagger knicking her face. She was reverted into a strength match with him locking hands together as she was forced to her knees.
“What? Are we your lost sheep? You discgust me! That’s why were going to wipe all of you vermin out! We can defend ourselves!” he said forceing her on to her knees completely. Till suddenly he man collapsed and Mars appeared from behind him.
“Huh? What are you doing here.” Uranus said surprised that Mars even was there.
“Even though I find you childish, your still a guard of the prncess and I can’t just let you die.” Mars said apparently pained to do so.
“Don’t worry about it, after this is all over I’ll dye your robes again.” Uranus said to which Mars laughed hartily and ran off back to the princess. Uranus followed her picking up space buster and taking to the sky. By the time they got back all the forces had withdrawn.
Queen Beryl had pulled back realizing with all the senshi there was no way for her to win and enough damage had already been done. Venus had been severely injured and several of the others had superficial wounds the most noticeable being a scratch across Uranus’ cheek. The Senshi sat slumped on the ground the inners lying in the arms of the four generals. Kunzite held Venus in his arms her shoulder having been dressed though she had passed out a while ago from the pain.
A short distance from the rest of the senshi Uranus and Neptune stood arguing, “What are you doing here? You could have been hurt!” Uranus near shouted at her wife, furious that she had answered the distress call.
“The same thing you are doing here protecting the princess. You could have been hurt too!” Neptune said back her voice rising as well. She could see her wife’s concern but she had a job to do as well. She was only five months pregnant and still able to move around.
“It’s different with me! I’m not the one that is pregnant!” Uranus shouted angry at Neptune for risking her life and the life of their child. Images flashed in her mind of a fatally injured Neptune. She almost lost her once and wasn’t going to let it happen again.
“Pregnant or not I still am a senshi how can you expect me to ignore a distress call from our princess?” Neptune shouted as well she may have been pregnant but she wasn’t helpless. Uranus, with her possessive and protective attitude was really starting to grate on Neptune; especially since she had been pregnant she wasn’t helpless.
“I’m sure the princess would understand you not being here. The rest of us could have handled it.” Uranus shouted again.
“Haruka I’m not a cripple I can still fight. I was back away from them no one even came close to me.” Neptune said putting her hands on her hips glaring at her wife.
“That is not the point you could have been. What if you had lost the baby?” Uranus said then instantly regretted her words she knew Neptune was still hesitant about having this child. She wrote about it in every letter she sent and in the short month they had been apart they both had quite a stack of letters writing every day. She want to say something else apologize to her but when she looked into Neptune’s eyes they were clouded and she could see the deep blue they were she was crying. She stepped forward and took Neptune in her arms holding her tightly to her. “Michiru, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have said that. I know how you feel about this child. It’s just you are my wife and my family I don’t want my family to be contained to just the two of us. I want to have child, I want you to be the mother of my child. I know there is no way the two of us can have a child. This is our chance. Michiru, I’ve said it a hundred times and I’m saying this again. This child isn’t his. It’s ours you are carrying my child. I she will be a beautiful little girl and every time you look at her you won’t be able not to smile.”
“Haruka.” Neptune said leaning into her wife the tears still falling but now she wasn’t sure if it was because she was mad or if it was because of the sweet things Uranus had said.
“Shhh, Michiru it’s okay, I just worry about you. I need you Michiru you are my life I don’t ever want to think of a life without you. It is bad enough I have to be away from you four months out of the year. When I saw you fighting out there and thought I could loose you. Queen Serenity is right I don’t know what I would do if I lost you. I love you so much. A life without you isn’t worth living. I’m sorry I yelled at you.” Uranus said kissing Neptune then holding her close not letting the smaller girl go not that she wanted to.
Neptune leaned into her wife’s arms holding her tightly, “Haruka, I’m sorry too I shouldn’t have worried you like that. I know you only care about my safety and the safety of our child but I can’t risk loosing you either. You are my love and my life.” Neptune said leaning up and kissing Uranus on the lips. She leaned back tracing the cut on Uranus’ cheek. “This looks like it hurts.” Neptune said.
“I’ll be fine it is just a scratch, besides Hotaru is staying on Uranus right now she told Pluto that it was boring on the moon without us and she wanted to come see us. I volunteered to let her stay on Uranus for a while I think when I come to Neptune she will come too. I’m sure she misses you too. Anyway she can heal it for me.” Uranus said.
“That is good.” Neptune said taking Uranus’ hand in hers and started walking towards the small campfire the others had made. “Let’s go join the others.”
Uranus and Neptune walked back over to the others seeing each of the senshi sitting in the arms of a generals and the Princess sitting in the Prince of Earth’s arms. “How is she?” Uranus asked looking at Venus and watching her occasional fidgets of pain. She had reverted back to her mortal form the wound had healed some but since she had been fighting and using her powers.
“She is hurt pretty bad. “ Kunzite said stroking his hand through her hair. “And the arrow is still in we need to take it out soon. I don’t have anything small enough to cauterize the wound all our swords are too thick and will hurt her more then help. We should move her back to palace and have one of the medics treat her.”
“We can’t do that. Whoever attacked us wants to start something between the earth and the moon. I’m pretty sure they meant to kill Princess Serenity. If this treaty is going to succeed no one can know what happened here today.” Jupiter said.
“Then we take her back to the moon and have one of our doctors heal her. We can say you guys were training and she was hurt.” Princess Serenity said hoping it would work.
“We can’t do that Pluto would never buy it.” Mars said wondering what kind of mess she had been dragged into this time. She was being punished along with the others for Uranus’ and Neptune’s marriage even though she hadn’t been there and had no idea that it was happening. “Princess what were you even doing here?” She asked then looked over to Prince Endiymon, “How long has this been going on?”
“It has been going on a little over a year now ever since the moon and earth started making the treaty.” Prince Endiymon said.
“That’s not the point now we need to do something for Venus and we need to do it soon. Does anyone have something that can cauterize the wound?” Mercury asked lifting up the cloth over the wound seeing that it was still bleeding.
Uranus still in her senshi form called her sword it taking the shape of a thin fencing style sword. “Will this work?” She asked to which Mercury nodded and Uranus put the blade into the fire to heat it up. “After you are done I can take her to Uranus, Hotaru is there she can heal the wound.”
“I’ll come with you so I can help her back to the moon.” Princess Serenity said then looked around at the other senshi here still a little shocked at what had happened thankfully Venus was the only one seriously injured.
Mercury looked over to the sword seeing it was red hot then looked over to Kunzite, “Do you have something she can bite down on? This is going to hurt.” Mercury said and Kunzite nodded pulling out a handkerchief with the earth’s royal seal on it. He folded it up and opened Venus’ mouth putting the cloth between her teeth. “I’ll need you to hold her down Uranus can you help?” The three of them got into position Kunzite whispering into the sleeping blonde’s ear that it would only hurt for a short while then on the count of three Mercury pressed down on the arrow pushing it through Venus’ shoulder and out the other side the girl crying out in pain and trying to break free of the hold Uranus and Kunzite had on her. Once the arrow was completely out she passed out again as Mercury took the sword from the fire quickly pressing it into the wound. You could hear it sizzling on her skin as it burned her sealing the wound closed. Once again Venus sat up crying in anguish as Kunzite and Uranus held her tight the former talking softly to her telling her everything would be alright. “She should rest here a little while before taking her to Uranus.”
“We should teleport back at different times in case Pluto felt us teleport. If she noticed it she wouldn’t be able to track it unless she reached the initial teleport points. She will be watching for another mass teleport. Neptune you go first, Mars next then Jupiter. Mercury will go last so she can watch over Venus and the three of us will go last. We should distance the teleports by about fifteen minutes just to be safe.” Uranus said.
“Haruka, I want to stay here with you a little longer.” Neptune whispered in Uranus’ ear after tending to Venus Uranus had found her way back into Neptune’s arms.
“I think Neptune should go right before Mercury.” Princess Serenity said having overheard Neptune though she didn’t let on that she had. “I don’t agree with the punishment my mother has given you two. Love should never be hindered. Besides you two make a cute couple even if you both are girls.” Princess Serenity said with a giggle.
“Serenity we can’t let your mother know what happened here it will ruin any chances we have of making a treaty. Someone here doesn’t want it to happen and I think I know who it is.” Prince Endiymon said.
“Beryl.” Princess Serenity said looking into her lover’s eyes knowing that the woman hated her and was likely to do whatever it took to win over Prince Endiymon.
“I think she knows about us and is trying to stop it she keeps trying to get me to move up our wedding.” Prince Endiymon said holding Princess Serenity closer. “Don’t worry love as soon as the treaty is signed I’m going to break off my engagement with her and ask you mother for your hand in marriage. And if that fails I’ll copy what these two did and still you away.” Prince Endiymon said pointing over to Uranus who had Neptune sitting in her lap as the two kiss and whispered words of love back forth.
“I think there will be many changes when I become queen.” Princess Serenity said. “Love is the life blood of everything and it shouldn’t ever be held back because you are afraid of what might happen.”
“I know you’ll be a good queen.” Prince Endiymon said kissing Princess Serenity on the forehead.
(Several Hours Later)
Pluto stood in her room the door locked and the guards instructed that she was not to be disturbed under any circumstance. She looked into a portal scanning the solar system trying to locate the power surge she had felt several hours ago. She hadn’t been able to pin point where it came or where it headed by the time she had realized it was someone teleporting and from many locations the trail had grown cold and she couldn’t locate where they had gone. She now watched feeling any power surges she had felt a couple to the moon, one to Neptune and a larger one to Uranus all coming from earth then a short while one from Uranus to the moon. She couldn’t understand what they always had in common other than coming from Earth. The ones to the moon she figured with just dignitaries returning from Earth to the moon with a failed mission every day they seemed to lose more. Pluto now was tracing the one from the Earth to Uranus but couldn’t get an exact location as to where it ended. She followed it back to the starting point that being Earth.
Once there she found herself standing in the courtyard of an old shrine one that looked like it had seen a battle recently. There were bodies lain about the courtyard most of those left alive had let leaving behind their dead to be taken back at a later date. From the look of it the humans had lost quite badly but she wasn’t sure who they had been fighting. There were no signs of the winner of the battle though it appeared it had been over for a while. She walked over to what looked like a fire that had been recently put out. There was a large amount of blood on the ground along with a broken arrow and a cloth. She picked up the arrow looking it over whoever had been shot with this had it removed on the battle site. She set it back down and picked up the cloth looking it over there was some blood on it and the royal crest of the Earth on it. It really didn’t make since if they had time to treat a wounded on the field like this it must have been the winning side. But had the humans been fighting themselves? Pluto stood up and walked around the area seeing if she could pick up any of the teleport paths that still remained. She stepped through one then moved back into it tracing it to Neptune some from Neptune had been in this battle or here after it was over. She then followed it ending up in a small courtyard in the Neptunian palace frequently only by the royal members of the family and a few servants. Who had traveled to the Earth? Pluto found it hard to believe that it had been Neptune had been part of the battle with the state she was in. But then again there was a path from Uranus as well perhaps the pair had been meeting on the earth thinking it was outside of her watch and had just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. She walked into the palace being bowed to by many of the servants stopping one of them, “Do you know where Princess Neptune is?” Pluto asked.
“I believe she is in her music room Lady Pluto.” The servant said.
“Can you take me there?” Pluto asked.
“Milady the Princess has given express orders that is isn’t to be interrupted when in the music room.” The servant said fidgeting with his hands.
“I don’t care take me to her if you are so worried about interrupting her you need only to take me to the entrance.” Pluto said and the man nodded leading the way. The man stopped at the door and waited Pluto didn’t even both knocking on the door just walked in shutting the door behind her. Neptune sat on the far side of the room a violin in her hand playing it. “You met with her on Earth didn’t you?” Pluto said pulling the violinist from her music.
“What?” Neptune said not really hearing everything all she really heard was the word Earth.
“You’ve been meeting with Uranus on Earth haven’t you?” Pluto said putting her hands on her hips.
Neptune paused for a minute thinking Pluto had traced the two paths from Earth to Uranus and Neptune thinking that they were having an affair on the Blue Planet. Neptune knew that what really happened couldn’t be told to Pluto, “Yes.” Neptune said knowing it wouldn’t be good to admit to it but it was still better than telling the truth.
“Michiru, Queen Serenity is serious about this punishment you two did break the law and you are breaking it again. Queen Serenity may not have the power to break your marriage but she can separate the two of you longer.” Pluto said pausing to build tension, “I’m not going to say anything this time but I trust it will not happen again am I understood?”
“Yes, Lady Pluto. It will not happen again I promise.” Neptune said bowing her head.
“Good.” Pluto said then opened a portal back to the Earth. Neptune watched the older woman leave then sat down on the bed sighing in relief.
To Be Continued…
Moon Place one month later)
A servant walked through the palace to Princess Serenity’s room with a letter in his hand it had came in the post this morning with no return address. Normally unmarked letters wouldn’t be delivered to the royal family without being opened and the sender identified but the Princess had requested that any letters unmarked letters coming in a blue envelope be sent to her without inspection. He reached her door knocking on it the Princess answering the door within a few seconds. “A letter for you your highness,” The servant said handing her the letter.
“Thank you,” Princess Serenity said taking it the closing the door. Her face grew to a smile as she turned to Venus who was sitting on her bed reading a comic book. The inners training was almost done being put back on full time since Pluto’s return after the incident with Neptune and Uranus’ marriage. Pluto had been mad at the girls for helping and had increased their studying time. Now they were in class for most of the day and on the weekends they only got one day off that day being today. “It’s from Endyimon.” Princess Serenity said.
“What does it say?” Venus asked sitting up and putting the comic book on the bed.
“Bunny, I can’t take this waiting and only speaking to you by letter. I want to see you, to hold you in my arms. Meet me tonight at the old moon shrine north of my palace. Love Endy.” Princess Serenity read aloud. “He wants me to meet him on Earth.”
“Serenity I thought he said it wasn’t safe for you there.” Venus said in the last few months peace talks between the Moon and the Earth hadn’t been going well. Queen Beryl had been opposed to it from the start and she was gaining more followers each day. Most of the ambassadors from the Moon had left either sick of the rudeness they received or with the death threats against them. A few actually had several assassination attempts.
“I know he wouldn’t send me into harms way. The Moon Shrine has been abandoned for centuries. There will be no one there but us and I’m sure he’ll bring one or two of his generals with him to keep an eye out.” Princess Serenity said.
“I don’t like it.” Venus said, “It doesn’t feel right. I’m coming with you, couldn’t hurt to have a body guard of your own, besides that’s my job I am the beautiful Sailor Venus leader of the inner senshi.”
“Oh fine you can come with me. I’m sure your beauty will make any attacker swoon.” Princess Serenity said. “Though I’m sure the only one that will be swooning will be General Kunizite.”
“If he’s there it’s just all the better but my duty is to protect you.” Venus giggled. “So how do we get out without anyone knowing we are gone?”
“Endy and I used to only meet late at night everyone will be asleep. Meet me here at midnight and I’ll use this watch he gave me to transport us to the earth.” Princess Serenity said pulling out a watch shaped like a star.
(Later that night)
Venus walked down the hallway towards Princess Serenity’s room trying her best not to be seen by anyone. She opened the door to Princess Serenity’s room meeting her goal of not being seen. She walked into the first room though it was dark but she could see a light coming from the bedroom and walked into the room seeing Princess Serenity putting on a cloak. The cloak was a dirty off white color and looked rather worn. Princess Serenity turned around seeing Venus standing there and handed her another cloak. “Put this on to cover your clothes so you blend in incase anyone sees you.” Princess Serenity said as she pulled the hood of the clock low covering her forehead. “Be sure to cover your forehead. On the Earth your planetary symbol is visible”
“Are you sure this is safe?” Venus asked putting the cloak on also pulling the hood over her face.
“Endy will be there and you are almost done with your training I think I should be safe enough.” Princess Serenity said. “Ok are you ready to go?” Venus nodded and Princess Serenity pulled out the watch opening it a beautiful melody playing she took Venus’ hand and twisted a knob on it both of them disappearing in a green light.
(Moon Shrine, Earth)
The courtyard was empty not a soul around except a woman with dark red hair standing behind a low wall with several soldiers dressed as common people. She watched as a green light appeared in the courtyard and two women appeared, “Damn she was supposed to come alone. No problem we can still do this.” The woman said gesturing to her men to move towards the women.
“Which one is the target Queen Beryl?” One of the men carrying a long bow said.
“The princess is the blonde.” Queen Beryl said pointing at the blonde before her as the other woman turned around having blonde hair as well “Damn! They both are blonde! Then kill the one on the right! Kill her first then wound the other. I want the Moon Palace knowing their princess was killed on Earth.”
“What if that one isn’t the princess?” Another of the men asked scratching his head with his free hand.
“It is unimportant! Then one of the princess’ guards is killed and the princess is wounded either way we reach our goal.” Queen Beryl said knowing that whoever was with the Princess had to be a senshi and killing one of them wouldn’t have quite the same effect as killing the princess but it would greatly affect the moon kingdom.
“As you wish your highness.” The first man said as Queen Beryl as teleported back to the Palace. Endyimon was promised to her and this spoiled royal brat wouldn’t take him away from her.
(Palace, Earth)
Endyimon stood in his room looking up at the moon above them thinking of his Moon Princess wishing he wasn’t engaged to Beryl and Princess Serenity’s mother would allow them to be together. He stopped closing his eyes sensing her very near then turned and ran to one of the adjoining rooms. “Kunzite, Zoeite, Jadeite, Nephrite get up Princess Serenity is here.”
“What? Why would she be here?” A sleepy Nephrite said sitting up looking at his Prince.
“I don’t know I told her not to come here that it isn’t safe why would she come?” Endyimon said shacking Jadeite waking him up. “Get up.”
“Where is she?” Kunzite said already standing and putting his sword on.
“At the old Moon Shrine come on hurry up.” Endiymon said urging the others out of bed. Once they were up and dressed he teleported them to the Shrine. Across from them they saw two women in cloaks standing looking around the courtyard of the shrine. They scanned the area a little more seeing several men with bows aimed at the pair of women.
(Across the courtyard)
Princess Serenity and Venus looked around for Endiymon for several minutes not seeing him, “Serenity, are you sure this is where he wanted you to meet him?” Venus asked.
“Yes we always meet here. Well at least we used to always meet here. Just a few more minutes okay?” Princess Serenity said.
“Only a few more then, I have a bad feeling about this and it just doesn’t feel right.” Venus said calling her transformation pin to her had quietly and holding it by her side where no one could see it.
“There he is and look he brought all four generals with him.” Princess Serenity said spotting Endyimon across the courtyard.
She started walking towards them Endyimon saying something to her but she couldn’t understand what he was saying. Venus instictively grabbed Princess Serenity’s hand stopping her and began to scan the area. She looked over to where Endyimon was pointing and saw a man on a ridge with a bow and arrow. The man now knew that his cover was blown and aimed at the princess. The arrow let fly aimed straight at them.
Without really thinking, Venus pushed Princess Serenity out of the way accidentally stepping in front of the arrow herself. The sharp head made solid contact to her right shoulder knocking her to the ground next her Princess.
“Minako!” Princess Serenity said crawling over to her cousin, friend and bodyguard. Venus chuckled a lttle and threw her cloak off entirely. “That was real careless of me. Serenity, get the hell out of here!” Venus said sitting up breaking the arrow off and pushing the princess towards the bushes on the edge of the courtyard. Venus watched her charge crawl over to the bushes then tried to push herself up to fight off the attackers but pain attacked her head and she fell back down. She felt a pair of strong hands help her up and looked up into Kunzite’s eyes. “Kunzite.” She said.
“You’re hurt you should take cover with the Princess. We’ll take care of this.” Kunzite said.
“No, it’s my duty to protect her.” Venus said getting her footing and pulling out her transformation pen. “Venus Planet Make up!” She shouted transforming into her senshi form. Blood trickled down her arm indcatating the wound still there but smaller. Her Senshi powers were healing it a little.
“We need all the help we can get there are more coming!” Jadeite shouted pointing to the large amount of men charging at them. There had to be a full garrision decending on them. It almost made him sick that he would have to fight his own men. But it mattered less whom was giving them orders and more keeping them from killing the crowned princess of the moon kingdom.
(Back at the Earth Palace)
Queen Beryl sat in her room staring at a crystal ball watching the battle at the moon shrine she watched as the arrow missed Princess Serenity hitting her guard. She also watched as Endyimon and his generals appeared. They must have sensed the Princess coming to Earth and transported there to protect her. No worries she could use this to her advantage she wanted a major incident to distance the moon from Earth. What more a golden opportunity then a major battle between the two. So what if a few generals were killed as well that only meant fewer things in her way. She called the archer she was talking to earlier his face appearing in the crystal ball. “Orders have changed I’m sending you more men kill everyone from the moon. If any of the generals get in the way kill them as well. Prince Endiymon is not to be harmed am I understood?”
“Yes, your highness, kill those of the white moon, the generals are expendable and the Prince is not to be harmed.” The man said saluting her then the crystal appeared in the barracks of Queen Beryl’s guard where she gave them the same orders.
(Back at the Moon Shrine)
“There are too many! Whoever this is, their calling in most of the specials of the royal army!” Zoeite shouted fending off another attacker.
“Should I call the other senshi?” Venus said throwing off another crescent beam. The beam met several of its marks but the downed men were replaced almost instantaneously.
“We can’t let Pluto know what is happening here!” Endiymon said worried that if all the senshi were called, Pluto would come and his secret romance with Princess Serenity would be doomed.
“I won’t send out a general message I’ll send it to everyone but Pluto.” Venus said getting a nod from Prince Endiymon. Even though she thought that it was doubtful that they could move without Pluto knowing but she was going to try it anyway.
(Miranda Palace, Uranus)
Uranus lay in bed staring at the ceiling. Since coming back and being crowned Queen she now lived in her parents suite. She remembered coming here as a child mostly after having bad dreams and her father telling her that she could sleep here with him and he would protect her from the bad dreams. She looked up at the night sky in this room there was magic cast on the ceiling allowing the sky to be seen through it. Many years ago one of the Queens of Uranus had it installed so she could see the sky without going outside. Uranus was glad for it and completely understood why it was built she would sit for hours staring up looking through the stars until she found Neptune then stared at it until she would fall asleep to dream about being in her lover’s arms. “Three more months then I can see her.” Uranus said aloud then sat up hearing a watch on her wrist beep. She looked down at her watch seeing a message from Venus.
--Need help immediately! Princess in danger! Pluto is not to be informed!—
Uranus stood quickly from her bed calling her transformation pen transforming then teleporting to the coordinates listed on the message. Across the solar system four other senshi did the same.
(Back at the Moon Shrine)
Venus stood towards the bushes Princess Serenity hid. With her back against Kunzite he was mostly holding her up. The wound on her shoulder had taken quite a bit out of her and she was starting to feel weak. Best she could figure was it was some sort of enchanted arrow because Moon people could not get ill by normal means.
The first of the senshi to appear was Uranus who flew in from the south and landed gently on the ground. Followed by Mars, who appeared with a flash of fire. Jupiter appeared as a lightening bolt striking down from the heavens. Mercury appeared from a cloud of dense fog. Lastly, Neptune appeared jumping out of the nearby ocean the water splitting seamlessly for her exit. Venus was a little surprised at first to see Neptune there as she was well into her fifth month of pregnancy it no longer being a secret. The Senshi of the sea’s Fuku not providing any distortions to her growing belly. The Senshi and generals formed a circle around the princess with Venus and Kunzite in the center as a last defense for the princess.
“What’s going on here? It looks like the entire Earth army is here.” Asked Jupiter.
“They keep coming We’ve been fighting endless waves sence the started attacking.” Kunzite said now having spun around to hold Venus as she could barely stand on her on.
“They got her?” Asked Mars looking at Venus.
“Shut up Mars, I’m not out yet.” Venus said trying to step forward and nearly collapseing.
“Look, lets stop the petty party okay.” Mercury said calling her visor and looked at the data as it crossed her eyes. “This is what we’re going to do. Jupiter, Uranus; you both are on complete offense. Jupiter, try to centralize your ranged attacks to the commanders on the field. The men will start to get disorganized if they don’t have somebody leading them by the nose.”
“Got it!” Jupiter took a running jump into the crowd and lightening flashes could already been seen.
“Uranus, your on aerial assault. Try to take out as many of the ranged attackers as you can. Try to do large sweeps as it will prevent you from getting hit.”
“Like they could even hit me. Space Buster Sword!” she said as she caught space buster from the air. “I’ll be just fine, I’ve been waiting to test myself on an open field.” Uranus smirked and leapt off into the sky appearing as nothing but a blur flying over and taking out large lines of archers.
“Mars, your on ranged offense until they get to close and then your on defense.” Mercury said. Mars walked forward and started launching attacks over the hill at large groups of her opponents.
“Neptune, you stay back here with me and call up your powers to provide defenseive techniques.”
“You won’t hear any complaints from me.” Neptune said. The battle progressed slowly and painstakeingly. The Senshi defending where barly able to hold back the lines. The ones on offense found themselves dealing with far more advanced troops then they though were poassilbe from earth forces.
“You moon whore! I’ll have you as my bed maiden!” one solider barked at Uranus as she landed to do some hand to hand combat. He lunged forward and grabbed her from behind. Uranus tried to struggle free but found the earthling stronger then her expectations.
“Let go of me you fool! Why are you attacking us? We’ve done nothing but protect you.” Uranus said finally broke free and spun to face her attacker. But, as soon as she spun he cought her by surprise and knocked space buster out of her hand he also took a slash at her with a dagger knicking her face. She was reverted into a strength match with him locking hands together as she was forced to her knees.
“What? Are we your lost sheep? You discgust me! That’s why were going to wipe all of you vermin out! We can defend ourselves!” he said forceing her on to her knees completely. Till suddenly he man collapsed and Mars appeared from behind him.
“Huh? What are you doing here.” Uranus said surprised that Mars even was there.
“Even though I find you childish, your still a guard of the prncess and I can’t just let you die.” Mars said apparently pained to do so.
“Don’t worry about it, after this is all over I’ll dye your robes again.” Uranus said to which Mars laughed hartily and ran off back to the princess. Uranus followed her picking up space buster and taking to the sky. By the time they got back all the forces had withdrawn.
Queen Beryl had pulled back realizing with all the senshi there was no way for her to win and enough damage had already been done. Venus had been severely injured and several of the others had superficial wounds the most noticeable being a scratch across Uranus’ cheek. The Senshi sat slumped on the ground the inners lying in the arms of the four generals. Kunzite held Venus in his arms her shoulder having been dressed though she had passed out a while ago from the pain.
A short distance from the rest of the senshi Uranus and Neptune stood arguing, “What are you doing here? You could have been hurt!” Uranus near shouted at her wife, furious that she had answered the distress call.
“The same thing you are doing here protecting the princess. You could have been hurt too!” Neptune said back her voice rising as well. She could see her wife’s concern but she had a job to do as well. She was only five months pregnant and still able to move around.
“It’s different with me! I’m not the one that is pregnant!” Uranus shouted angry at Neptune for risking her life and the life of their child. Images flashed in her mind of a fatally injured Neptune. She almost lost her once and wasn’t going to let it happen again.
“Pregnant or not I still am a senshi how can you expect me to ignore a distress call from our princess?” Neptune shouted as well she may have been pregnant but she wasn’t helpless. Uranus, with her possessive and protective attitude was really starting to grate on Neptune; especially since she had been pregnant she wasn’t helpless.
“I’m sure the princess would understand you not being here. The rest of us could have handled it.” Uranus shouted again.
“Haruka I’m not a cripple I can still fight. I was back away from them no one even came close to me.” Neptune said putting her hands on her hips glaring at her wife.
“That is not the point you could have been. What if you had lost the baby?” Uranus said then instantly regretted her words she knew Neptune was still hesitant about having this child. She wrote about it in every letter she sent and in the short month they had been apart they both had quite a stack of letters writing every day. She want to say something else apologize to her but when she looked into Neptune’s eyes they were clouded and she could see the deep blue they were she was crying. She stepped forward and took Neptune in her arms holding her tightly to her. “Michiru, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have said that. I know how you feel about this child. It’s just you are my wife and my family I don’t want my family to be contained to just the two of us. I want to have child, I want you to be the mother of my child. I know there is no way the two of us can have a child. This is our chance. Michiru, I’ve said it a hundred times and I’m saying this again. This child isn’t his. It’s ours you are carrying my child. I she will be a beautiful little girl and every time you look at her you won’t be able not to smile.”
“Haruka.” Neptune said leaning into her wife the tears still falling but now she wasn’t sure if it was because she was mad or if it was because of the sweet things Uranus had said.
“Shhh, Michiru it’s okay, I just worry about you. I need you Michiru you are my life I don’t ever want to think of a life without you. It is bad enough I have to be away from you four months out of the year. When I saw you fighting out there and thought I could loose you. Queen Serenity is right I don’t know what I would do if I lost you. I love you so much. A life without you isn’t worth living. I’m sorry I yelled at you.” Uranus said kissing Neptune then holding her close not letting the smaller girl go not that she wanted to.
Neptune leaned into her wife’s arms holding her tightly, “Haruka, I’m sorry too I shouldn’t have worried you like that. I know you only care about my safety and the safety of our child but I can’t risk loosing you either. You are my love and my life.” Neptune said leaning up and kissing Uranus on the lips. She leaned back tracing the cut on Uranus’ cheek. “This looks like it hurts.” Neptune said.
“I’ll be fine it is just a scratch, besides Hotaru is staying on Uranus right now she told Pluto that it was boring on the moon without us and she wanted to come see us. I volunteered to let her stay on Uranus for a while I think when I come to Neptune she will come too. I’m sure she misses you too. Anyway she can heal it for me.” Uranus said.
“That is good.” Neptune said taking Uranus’ hand in hers and started walking towards the small campfire the others had made. “Let’s go join the others.”
Uranus and Neptune walked back over to the others seeing each of the senshi sitting in the arms of a generals and the Princess sitting in the Prince of Earth’s arms. “How is she?” Uranus asked looking at Venus and watching her occasional fidgets of pain. She had reverted back to her mortal form the wound had healed some but since she had been fighting and using her powers.
“She is hurt pretty bad. “ Kunzite said stroking his hand through her hair. “And the arrow is still in we need to take it out soon. I don’t have anything small enough to cauterize the wound all our swords are too thick and will hurt her more then help. We should move her back to palace and have one of the medics treat her.”
“We can’t do that. Whoever attacked us wants to start something between the earth and the moon. I’m pretty sure they meant to kill Princess Serenity. If this treaty is going to succeed no one can know what happened here today.” Jupiter said.
“Then we take her back to the moon and have one of our doctors heal her. We can say you guys were training and she was hurt.” Princess Serenity said hoping it would work.
“We can’t do that Pluto would never buy it.” Mars said wondering what kind of mess she had been dragged into this time. She was being punished along with the others for Uranus’ and Neptune’s marriage even though she hadn’t been there and had no idea that it was happening. “Princess what were you even doing here?” She asked then looked over to Prince Endiymon, “How long has this been going on?”
“It has been going on a little over a year now ever since the moon and earth started making the treaty.” Prince Endiymon said.
“That’s not the point now we need to do something for Venus and we need to do it soon. Does anyone have something that can cauterize the wound?” Mercury asked lifting up the cloth over the wound seeing that it was still bleeding.
Uranus still in her senshi form called her sword it taking the shape of a thin fencing style sword. “Will this work?” She asked to which Mercury nodded and Uranus put the blade into the fire to heat it up. “After you are done I can take her to Uranus, Hotaru is there she can heal the wound.”
“I’ll come with you so I can help her back to the moon.” Princess Serenity said then looked around at the other senshi here still a little shocked at what had happened thankfully Venus was the only one seriously injured.
Mercury looked over to the sword seeing it was red hot then looked over to Kunzite, “Do you have something she can bite down on? This is going to hurt.” Mercury said and Kunzite nodded pulling out a handkerchief with the earth’s royal seal on it. He folded it up and opened Venus’ mouth putting the cloth between her teeth. “I’ll need you to hold her down Uranus can you help?” The three of them got into position Kunzite whispering into the sleeping blonde’s ear that it would only hurt for a short while then on the count of three Mercury pressed down on the arrow pushing it through Venus’ shoulder and out the other side the girl crying out in pain and trying to break free of the hold Uranus and Kunzite had on her. Once the arrow was completely out she passed out again as Mercury took the sword from the fire quickly pressing it into the wound. You could hear it sizzling on her skin as it burned her sealing the wound closed. Once again Venus sat up crying in anguish as Kunzite and Uranus held her tight the former talking softly to her telling her everything would be alright. “She should rest here a little while before taking her to Uranus.”
“We should teleport back at different times in case Pluto felt us teleport. If she noticed it she wouldn’t be able to track it unless she reached the initial teleport points. She will be watching for another mass teleport. Neptune you go first, Mars next then Jupiter. Mercury will go last so she can watch over Venus and the three of us will go last. We should distance the teleports by about fifteen minutes just to be safe.” Uranus said.
“Haruka, I want to stay here with you a little longer.” Neptune whispered in Uranus’ ear after tending to Venus Uranus had found her way back into Neptune’s arms.
“I think Neptune should go right before Mercury.” Princess Serenity said having overheard Neptune though she didn’t let on that she had. “I don’t agree with the punishment my mother has given you two. Love should never be hindered. Besides you two make a cute couple even if you both are girls.” Princess Serenity said with a giggle.
“Serenity we can’t let your mother know what happened here it will ruin any chances we have of making a treaty. Someone here doesn’t want it to happen and I think I know who it is.” Prince Endiymon said.
“Beryl.” Princess Serenity said looking into her lover’s eyes knowing that the woman hated her and was likely to do whatever it took to win over Prince Endiymon.
“I think she knows about us and is trying to stop it she keeps trying to get me to move up our wedding.” Prince Endiymon said holding Princess Serenity closer. “Don’t worry love as soon as the treaty is signed I’m going to break off my engagement with her and ask you mother for your hand in marriage. And if that fails I’ll copy what these two did and still you away.” Prince Endiymon said pointing over to Uranus who had Neptune sitting in her lap as the two kiss and whispered words of love back forth.
“I think there will be many changes when I become queen.” Princess Serenity said. “Love is the life blood of everything and it shouldn’t ever be held back because you are afraid of what might happen.”
“I know you’ll be a good queen.” Prince Endiymon said kissing Princess Serenity on the forehead.
(Several Hours Later)
Pluto stood in her room the door locked and the guards instructed that she was not to be disturbed under any circumstance. She looked into a portal scanning the solar system trying to locate the power surge she had felt several hours ago. She hadn’t been able to pin point where it came or where it headed by the time she had realized it was someone teleporting and from many locations the trail had grown cold and she couldn’t locate where they had gone. She now watched feeling any power surges she had felt a couple to the moon, one to Neptune and a larger one to Uranus all coming from earth then a short while one from Uranus to the moon. She couldn’t understand what they always had in common other than coming from Earth. The ones to the moon she figured with just dignitaries returning from Earth to the moon with a failed mission every day they seemed to lose more. Pluto now was tracing the one from the Earth to Uranus but couldn’t get an exact location as to where it ended. She followed it back to the starting point that being Earth.
Once there she found herself standing in the courtyard of an old shrine one that looked like it had seen a battle recently. There were bodies lain about the courtyard most of those left alive had let leaving behind their dead to be taken back at a later date. From the look of it the humans had lost quite badly but she wasn’t sure who they had been fighting. There were no signs of the winner of the battle though it appeared it had been over for a while. She walked over to what looked like a fire that had been recently put out. There was a large amount of blood on the ground along with a broken arrow and a cloth. She picked up the arrow looking it over whoever had been shot with this had it removed on the battle site. She set it back down and picked up the cloth looking it over there was some blood on it and the royal crest of the Earth on it. It really didn’t make since if they had time to treat a wounded on the field like this it must have been the winning side. But had the humans been fighting themselves? Pluto stood up and walked around the area seeing if she could pick up any of the teleport paths that still remained. She stepped through one then moved back into it tracing it to Neptune some from Neptune had been in this battle or here after it was over. She then followed it ending up in a small courtyard in the Neptunian palace frequently only by the royal members of the family and a few servants. Who had traveled to the Earth? Pluto found it hard to believe that it had been Neptune had been part of the battle with the state she was in. But then again there was a path from Uranus as well perhaps the pair had been meeting on the earth thinking it was outside of her watch and had just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. She walked into the palace being bowed to by many of the servants stopping one of them, “Do you know where Princess Neptune is?” Pluto asked.
“I believe she is in her music room Lady Pluto.” The servant said.
“Can you take me there?” Pluto asked.
“Milady the Princess has given express orders that is isn’t to be interrupted when in the music room.” The servant said fidgeting with his hands.
“I don’t care take me to her if you are so worried about interrupting her you need only to take me to the entrance.” Pluto said and the man nodded leading the way. The man stopped at the door and waited Pluto didn’t even both knocking on the door just walked in shutting the door behind her. Neptune sat on the far side of the room a violin in her hand playing it. “You met with her on Earth didn’t you?” Pluto said pulling the violinist from her music.
“What?” Neptune said not really hearing everything all she really heard was the word Earth.
“You’ve been meeting with Uranus on Earth haven’t you?” Pluto said putting her hands on her hips.
Neptune paused for a minute thinking Pluto had traced the two paths from Earth to Uranus and Neptune thinking that they were having an affair on the Blue Planet. Neptune knew that what really happened couldn’t be told to Pluto, “Yes.” Neptune said knowing it wouldn’t be good to admit to it but it was still better than telling the truth.
“Michiru, Queen Serenity is serious about this punishment you two did break the law and you are breaking it again. Queen Serenity may not have the power to break your marriage but she can separate the two of you longer.” Pluto said pausing to build tension, “I’m not going to say anything this time but I trust it will not happen again am I understood?”
“Yes, Lady Pluto. It will not happen again I promise.” Neptune said bowing her head.
“Good.” Pluto said then opened a portal back to the Earth. Neptune watched the older woman leave then sat down on the bed sighing in relief.
To Be Continued…
