Thanks to all of my reviewers who have kept my going on this story. I absolutely love receiving feedback from my readers and I appreciate when you guys review, even when all it says is for me to update. Anyways, the end isn’t even in sight yet, so I hope everyone sticks around for the ride! I know how I want it to end, I just haven’t written it.
Ok, now on with the story!
“Lita!”
Usagi stared for a moment. Her brain couldn’t understand why Lita was laying motionless behind her. On some level she knew that Lita had taken the hit, but she couldn’t fathom why. They had betrayed her. Left her to die on a planet in the middle of the universe with nothing to help her except her beloved. And the things they had said to her. She would never forget the looks on their faces as they had condemned her to her fate, telling her the most vicious things imaginable to Usagi. Then they had left, not even looking back at her, laughing and joking about her as they went.
So why was Lita taking a hit for her? What possessed her to do something like that for the one she had abandoned?
Sudden movement from her right had Usagi turning to find two more of her mutinous scouts. No one moved, no one breathed, as they waited for what was to come. The outers watched as the scene unfolded, the two inners coming to stand a little bit behind their fallen comrade. They seemed to understand that Usagi needed a moment to comprehend the situation for they didn’t move to help Lita. The stars and Kakyu remained where they were.
‘They’re here. The only one missing is Rei. Why are they here? Have they come to finish me off? But then why did Lita save me? Are they here to ask forgiveness? Will I give it to them? Why did they turn on me? Why is this happening now? TOO MANY QUESTIONS! Not enough answers.’
The evil minions decided to make their move; believing they had been forgotten.
Mamoru watched as his Usako took in everything happening around them, until he saw the black haired man shoot what looked like a tentacle at his beloved. He sprang into action with his sword raised high, cutting the tentacle down before it could reach Usagi. She seemed to jolt out of the stupor she had been in as she attacked the demon man once again. Mina and Ami rushed to Lita, dragging her out of the way of the fighting and trying to get her to wake up. The Outers once again began to fight, side by side with the Starlights and Sailor Kakyu.
With Queen Rei
Rei was furious. How dare those stupid chits run back to Usagi. They were powerless, only good for getting in the way, and yet Lita had saved Usagi from Cell’s blast. ‘DAMN THEM ALL!’
It was time to recoup and form a different plan. If Usagi chose to give the inners their powers again, then she would need to have a different strategy for dealing with the fools. Mina, Ami and Lita weren’t very powerful on their own, or together, but when added with the outers, Sailor Moon, Prince Endymion, and the Starlights, the group was very formidable.
“Cell, Envy, Naraku, Toguro, return to me. It’s time for a different strategy.”
Plans must begin immediately.
Back with the Senshi Sailor Moon didn’t know what happened. One minute she was fighting the demon man who had just identified himself as being named “Toguro” and suddenly he was gone, taking the other three minions with him. It was the best thing that could have happened. Usagi knew that she had been floundering with the giant sword she barely trained with and it had only been a matter of time before Toguro took her out.
Mamoru caught Usagi as she stumbled and almost fell. Her side was bleeding steadily and her ankle looked to be in pretty bad shape. Little cuts and bruises were testament to how close Toguro had come to catching her several times. He lifted her up and moved toward where the outers and starlights were standing next to Mina and Ami.
“Ok everyone, we need to get somewhere safe so that we can all recuperate and bandage our wounds. Ami and Mina……you may join us but don’t get any funny ideas. We haven’t forgotten what you did to us. Bring Lita with you, she deserves to be taken care of at least.”
Mina and Ami nodded their heads and stooped to pick Lita up. Between the two of them they were able to get her lifted and secured upon their shoulders. Everyone stood in a circle with Ami, Lita and Mina in the middle, and performed a sailor teleport.
The group reappeared in the middle of the outers living room. From here the group split up, each going into separate rooms to doctor their own. The outers led the former inners into a room where they could tend to Lita in peace. They told them that Usagi would see them when everyone had been taken care of. As they set about taking care of their comrade, the outers made their way to their own separate rooms to freshen up.
Mamoru carried Usagi to their room that they stayed in when they visited the outers; her having passed out during the teleportation due to her lack of energy. He laid her upon the bed making sure not to jostle her arms and legs too much. The wound at her side was still bleeding sluggishly and looked as though Toguro had carved a giant chunk out of it. Her ankle was three times as big as it’s normal size and Mamoru suspected that it was either fractured or broken. Her senshi fuku was torn and ripped in so many places that Mamoru really couldn’t tell the extent of her injuries due to the blood and ruin. He made his way into the adjoining bathroom to pull out the necessary first-aid accessories needed to bandage up his moon hime. He was forced to strip her fuku from her body to get the full extent of her side wound.
Even covered in blood, gore, and looking like she had gone through a human sized paper shredder, she was still the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her body was perfect, honed to perfection through endless hours of training. Her face had lost most of the baby fat of her youth, her neck slender and swan-like, her breasts were full and pert, perfect for his hands to cup and his mouth to suckle, her waist was trim and slim, her stomach sported a womanly six-pack, her hips were wider than her waist; but not overly large, legs that went on for what seemed to be miles even though she was so short. Mamoru almost couldn’t take his eyes off his woman until she shifted slightly, moaning quietly in pain as her side was irritated. Her eyelids fluttered but Mamoru shushed her and lulled her back to sleep. He knew she would do better if he gave her something to make her sleep, but he had nothing to give her so he proceeded to clean her side anyway.
Usagi shot straight up in the air as a burning sensation erupted in her side. Her scream was cut off by a pair of lips capturing her’s in a passion filled kiss. She began to kiss back until the pain increased slightly. She tore her lips from Mamoru’s as she screamed aloud. Her side felt like it was on fire. What ever was causing that pain needed to stop, and it needed to stop that instant. She looked down to see her side and noticed Mamoru’s hands holding a needle and thread…that was currently being woven through her skin. Usagi began to protest until Mamoru shushed her again with a kiss.
“Usako, my love, you need to be stitched up or it won’t heal right. Now quit squirming around and let me sew up your side.”
“I won’t forget this Mamoru. You know I hate needles. Why couldn’t you just drug me? Then it would be painless!”
“We don’t have the time. We need to get patched up and meet the others in just a short while. Now shut up and let me finish.”
Usagi sat quietly, occasionally wincing in pain, and waited for Mamoru to be done. She proceeded to dress in a plain shirt and pair of sweats that she had left in the dresser in their room. Mamoru untransformed back from Tuxedo Kamen. The two of them made their way downstairs to the family room where they noticed that the outers, starlights, Princess Kakyu, and the former inners were waiting on them. Mamoru helped Usagi into a chair near the doorway to the room and then he sat at her feet; the two prepared to speak.
“Well, this turn of events has greatly effected our battle strategy. These men can’t be fought the same way we have fought our former enemies. They fight differently and more brutally than anyone we have fought before. We will needed to come up with a new game plan, preferably one that actually works.”
Mamoru gave everyone a look that spoke volumes.
Usagi turned to Mina, Ami, and the finally awake Lita. Lita was able to sit up on her own, but she looked as though she had been hit by a car and then had the car back up a couple of times just to make sure the job was done. Usagi studied their faces. ‘Being an empath sometimes comes in handy,’ Usagi thought. She could tell that the three of them were severely depressed and anxious. There was remorse and regret in their auras, along with indignant anger and a gentle happiness that was almost entirely swallowed up by a bout of sadness so profound that Usagi found herself feeling somewhat melancholy.
“I want to know what happened to you three. Why did you betray me? Why have you returned? Why did you take that hit for me Lita? What the hell is going on here?”
The three of them looked at each other and then Lita began to speak.
“Usagi…I don’t know exactly what happened to us. All I know is that I was not in control of myself when we left you on that planet. I could see what was happening, but I couldn’t seem to stop myself. Later, when Rei spoke of harming the innocents here in Japan, I was finally able to regain control of myself, but by then it was too late. All I can do is apologize to you and promise you my loyalty once again. I hope you can accept my apology and allegiance. I don’t know what I will do with myself if you deny me.”
Usagi measured them once more. The other two girls held similar facial expressions and feelings in their auras. They were sincere in their feelings and she could detect no lies from Lita. She had missed them desperately, but they wouldn’t be reinstated so easily.
“I accept your apology, and I also accept your allegiance on some terms. You will be reinstated, but not at full power. You will be paired with an outer or starlight and you will train with them if you wish to regain full use of your powers. I will not be so quick to trust you anymore. You will have to build up my trust once again. If you betray me again…let’s just say that it would be in your best interest not to betray me again. Do I make myself clear?”
“Yes Usagi,” the three responded.
With their confirmation to understanding, Usagi stood up and called forth her scepter. She raised it above her head and called out to the powers of Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter. The three balls of power flew from the scepter and entered their senshi, restoring the girls to their birthright. Lita sprang as fast as she could manage from her seat and flung her arms around Usagi, crushing the girl to her in a giant bear hug. Lita was followed by the other two girls, and suddenly the four of them were crying and hugging like long lost sisters. After several long moments they pulled apart and Usagi returned to her chair, while the other three girls returned to their respective seats.
“Ok, what to do about Rei. She is not the senshi I remember her to be. What could have happened to cause this change?”
“I think we may be able to answer your question.”
Everyone jumped in surprise at the foreign voice and turned to the front door. There, standing in the open doorway, was a group of people no one recognized. The short one in the front stepped forward and began to speak.
“Sorry to intrude on your little pow wow here, but we think you might need our help. I’m…”
Ok, well ladies and gents that’s it for now! Remember the more reviews I get the sooner I’ll update! WOO HOO! Who is in the doorway? What are Rei’s plans? Who will the inners train with? All questions answered in the next chapter! Ja ne for now!
