Thanks to all of my reviewers! I LOVE YOU GUYS! If you have any ideas you want me to know about, feel free to let me know about them. I am writing this story completely free hand. Whatever comes to mind when I start typing is what I type. So feel free to give input!
Now, on with the story!
Rei sat on the floor directly in front of the sacred fire. She had been preparing for a fire reading for the last hour, now she was just waiting on the other three. They all wanted to know what had become of Usagi before they formed any plans. Rei knew that Usagi was too stubborn to die outright, especially when she had her prince with her to encourage her.
‘That was a mistake.’ Rei thought about keeping Mamoru with Usagi. None of the other inners knew, but Rei had been hitting on Mamoru for the last four years. He had denied her at every turn, but Rei kept it up. She couldn’t believe that Usagi could have a man as perfect as Mamoru. She didn’t deserve a man like Mamoru; she couldn’t handle a real man. Usagi was just a crybaby, ditzy, annoying, immature, pig of a girl. She was ugly too. Now, Rei was pretty, well mannered, elegant, and mature. She was the one that should be the Hime, she should be the one that got Mamoru, and she should be the one that got to be the leader. It just wasn’t fair. Yet, with Mamoru evading her whenever she made a move, she finally decided to just leave him to Usagi, he wasn’t worth the time to break in. Still, Usagi didn’t deserve him. Rei had been the catalyst for this plan. She had slowly planted thoughts in the minds of the other inners to turn them against the princess. It had taken a while, but the seeds of doubt that she had planted had bloomed into disloyalty to the princess. Rei would not rest until she got what was due to her.
KnockKnock
‘Oh, they’re here.’ Rei jumped up and ran to the door. When she pulled it open, she saw the three other girls on the other side and ushered them into the shrine. They followed her into the fire reading room and situated themselves around Rei in a semi-circle fashion with her in front of them. No one said a word, fearing it would disrupt the sacred fire.
“Sacred fire, I command you to show me what has become of the prince and princess.”
The fire leapt up until it was barely brushing the ceiling. All was quiet for a moment, until an image appeared in the fire. The image was of Usagi and Mamoru flying away from a planet in a little space craft. Both seemed unharmed, and that infuriated Rei. When she was about to get up and throw a fit the sacred fire began to speak.
“You four are a disgrace to the sailor senshi. You have not only abandoned your Hime, but you placed her and her prince in danger and then left them to die. This action is unforgivable. You are thereby stripped of your powers and are no longer sailor senshi. This is by order of the former Queen Serenity. She is sorely disappointed in you four. As for you, priestess, this is the last time you will be able to see into the sacred fire Rei Hino, former Princess of Mars. This is your doing and you will suffer the consequences of your actions. I hope whatever you were planning to get out of this situation was worth leaving your princess. Now, LEAVE, and do not come back. I have never burned you before, but that doesn’t mean I can’t or won’t.”
Rei looked at the fire in disbelief as it shrunk and then snuffed out. It was bad luck for the sacred fire of a shrine to extinguish. She could not believe all that the sacred fire had told her. Her powers couldn’t be gone! They couldn’t! She had always had these powers; they couldn’t just be taken from her. Yet she knew by the empty feeling in the pit of her stomach that her powers were truly gone. The other three girls had similar looks on their faces. By unspoken agreement, all four threw their right hands into the air and shouted out their planet name to call upon the power that they had been born with. Nothing happened, their pens didn’t even appear. They could not believe that this could have happened. Makoto looked toward Minako and Ami; both had tears in their eyes. The sound of someone’s laughter brought them to the shojo door that had been opened by the person laughing.
“Hahahaha, you four are truly pathetic! You honestly thought you could retain your senshi powers after you had abandoned your Hime? Don’t make me laugh anymore. Maybe you should have considered every outcome of your decision before you chose mutiny. Mutiny, the downfall of the greedy.” Haruka began to laugh again.
There, in the yard outside the shrine, stood the four outer senshi soldiers. Haruka, obviously, was laughing her ass off. She was laughing so hard that she needed Michiru to help her stand for she could no longer do it on her own. Michiru, while holding up Haruka, had a huge smile on her face. Setsuna just looked as though she was not the least bit surprised. Hotaru just had a look of hatred on her face as she stared at the four inners. The look on her face would haunt the inners for the rest of their lives. ‘Note to self, never piss off the senshi of death.’
“I for one believe the law is going too lightly on you four. It is your fault that the prince and Hime are out in the middle of no where, trying to make their way back to earth. They could have died, they still could die, and you don’t give a damn. The four of you should rot in hell for what you have done, not just loose your powers. Be glad it was not me deciding your fate,” spat Hotaru. Her eyes burned with the deep hatred that she felt for the inners. The outers had left the care of the Hime in their supposedly capable hands, and what do they do? They take her and her prince out to the middle of the Universe and drop them on a desert planet. ‘Damn idiots.’
“Now that we know you won’t be as big of a threat as we thought, we can rest easily till our Hime comes back. I hope you don’t enjoy your time as ordinary human people now. So goodbye it is, I would say it was a pleasure working with you, but I would be lying,” Haruka said, in a sing-song voice.
With that, the four outer senshi disappeared, leaving the inners to think about what they would do now. They all got up and began to pace the room. Suddenly there was another knock on the door. Rei furiously opened the door, ready to lash out at whoever was at the door. When the door slid open, a shadow burst into the room. Before any of the inners could do much more than turn in the shadow’s direction, it began to speak.
“Do you wish to get revenge on your Hime and fellow senshi?”
The four looked at each other and, as one, nodded their heads yes.
“Then listen up, and listen good…”
The shadow then proceeded to tell them everything they needed to know.
--With Mamoru and Usagi--
“OH MY GOSH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAMO-CHAN!” screamed Usagi.
“Would you please lower your voice Usako, I already have a headache; I don’t need you yelling in my ear to make it worse.”
“Well, if you knew how to drive this I wouldn’t have to scream every time you get to close to an asteroid. Do you even know where we are? There are no planets around us, and Keishiki said that if we flew for more than ten minutes without seeing another planet that we went the wrong way.”
“We are NOT lost, and we’ve only been traveling for seven minutes thank you very much.”
“Not lost my ass. We are so lost we probably will never find earth. I can’t believe you wouldn’t stop and ask directions from that nice little ship we passed a few minutes ago. I had a feeling you should have looked at the map. Now we’re lost and we’ll probably die.”
“For the last time, WE ARE NOT LOST! I know exactly where we are. Now, just sit tight and shut up. I can’t think with you screaming like that.”
“I thought you had a headache? You shouldn’t be yelling at me if you have a headache, and you should just accept the fact that we are lost…………WAIT! LOOK! There is a space ship coming our way! WE’RE SAVED! I’m not going to die!”
“Don’t get your hopes up Usako, just because they are out here doesn’t mean they are friendly. For all we know, they could be space pirat…..SHIT, what was that?”
The larger ship had sent out a tractor beam, reeling in the smaller ship.
Who knows if this ship is friendly or pirates! We’ll find out next chapter! And what/who was that shadow! PLEASE REVIEW and I’ll get the next chapter up for your enjoyment!
