His Eyes

MoonlightNeverFades

I knew what his eyes tried to tell me. His eyes, full of pity and sadness, and then, it struck me. I knew what he was really trying to say. It was hard, now that I understood that he needed to be elsewhere. He needed to be with the one who counted on him more, and apparently, who he counted on more as well. I felt like such a loser and idiot for even thinking that maybe?

Ever since he said ?I also?? and left the sentence hanging, I was left pondering. Did he really think that? Did he really feel something for me?

Apparently not.

I was incredibly lost when I saw her in his arms and he was saying that he would not leave her until she said no. The way he said it - I knew he was being sincere and he actually meant what he was saying.

Why was it so hard to believe his words though when I knew that he loved her, and not me? Was it because I did not want to believe it? Was it because I wanted him to say that to me? It is incredibly hard to form a coherent sentence when my heart beats this much when I look at them both.

He turned around and that was when I knew his eyes were trying to say something to me. I knew that he could not have me and I could not have him. So those days where he saved me as Tuxedo Mask was truly over...

I tugged at my heart as I tried to reconcile myself. The pain was unbearable. It was excruciating.

He was going to be with Hina and leave Tokyo for England. And there was absolutely nothing that I could do to stop them.

I wanted to cry so badly -just let out my emotions and just show him that I want him more than she wants him. No doubt that he would never speak to me again, but I needed to let him know how I felt about him doing this. How his actions are hurting me inside - like a dagger piercing through my heart.

Wanting to let my tears show was not an option at a time like this as I knew I had to go and fight the youma causing all the havoc.

I smiled, trying to conceal my true feelings, "Hurry and run!"

I saw his face as he looked strained at me and his eyes - oh his eyes - were looking at me with sympathy and sadness. They were not what they were when they looked at Hina. Knowing that I had to hurry, I exclaimed, "Hurry and run!" before running off into the direction where the youma was. I just needed to run away. I didn't know if he was coming after me or if he was still with Hina.

Frankly, I didn't care. All I cared about was trying to forget about him - forget that he even existed.

...That was going to be hard.

When You Wish for Change

By: SailorMoon489

Chapter 1

Chapter One: New Beginnings

The car ride was excruciatingly long, as we drove from Maryland all the way to North Dakota. I was just too intent on my music and daydreaming while staring out the window to even notice my brother snoring next to me. I am now 16 years old and my birthday was June 30th. Today’s date is August 17th, 2008.

When I had gotten back from the hospital, my father had stopped beating me, well actually now he just completely ignores me, and I am fine with that. Sammy told me the reason why we were moving to North Dakota was because dad’s business had moved and they paid for everything. They even paid for the house, hotel rooms and gas for the long road trip that we are now on.

We have been on the road for four days now, and mom says that we are almost there. She said that we would have gotten there sooner if my father didn’t stop for a pit stop two different nights so we could stay at hotel and rest for the night. It was after the second day of driving dad made us stay and sleep at a motel. Sam and I shared a room while my parents were in the room next door to us, arguing.

I was glad that Sammy was fast asleep, as I heard my parents using foul language and she was threatening for a divorce, again. We all know that my mother would never actually divorce my father; she always said that just to shut him up and it always worked. My mom also knew that dad never liked me. She always told me that it wasn’t my fault and that it was the genes that ran through her family. So for every first born on my mother’s side of the family is or was a girl. My dad wanted one child… a boy.

While I was listening in on my parents’ arguing; going from the move to his job, to his son and then to me. Once again I’m hearing them fighting about me. I’m glad that my mother actually loves and cares about me. But it’s hard to see any kind of good emotion when we are together as a family.

It’s like as if there is a gray cloud hanging above us, just threatening to turn in to a hurricane at any second, ready to destroy anything in its path. It was always my father’s fault. If my mother knew how much pain he has put me through, she would know the truth behind all of the lies.

But I want to keep my family together at all costs! Not just for me, but mainly for Sammy. He deserves to have a loving and caring family.

Taken out of my thoughts, I felt a small tap on my shoulder. It was my mother telling me that we have arrived to the new house. I nodded my head as I took my earphones out of my ears and turned off my iPod. I was sitting in the seat on the left hand side of the van, so when I got out I would be facing the road and the other houses in the neighborhood.

I closed my eyes as I slid open the car door. When I stepped out of the van I took in a deep breath of the nice warm fresh air. The sun was giving out a nice warm light.

When I decided that it was time that I saw my new home, I still had my eyes closed, turned around and slowly opened them. I was speechless. The house was huge and beautiful! The house was two stories, white, sort of Victorian styled, and sort of old. But all in all, I liked it.

My mother came over to me and handed me my backpack and some of my other bags that were easy to carry.

“So, how do you like it?” asked my mother with some excitement in her voice.

I honestly don’t know how long it has been since the last time I smiled because I was happy, but this was one of those moments.

“Mom, this house… it’s… it’s…” I couldn’t find the words to say. I was rendered speechless again.

“Tell me what you think when you see it inside? Your room is the room with the balcony,” when my mother said that, again, I was rendered speechless once more! She knew me so well…

So we quickly walked inside, eager to see what it looks like and my mind went wild! I was just truly and honestly blown away! This house was amazing, with a grand staircase when you first walked in. A dining room, living room with a huge fire place, and a patio in the back with Japanese and rose gardens and a gazebo filling the backyard plantation… this house was so unbelievable!

“Mom this house is amazing!” I said as I quickly turned to face her as we stood in the main entrance to the house, standing in front of the large staircase.

“Just wait until you see your room,” my mother said with a large grin on her face.

Even more whelmed then before, I dropped the two bags in my hands, back pack still on my back, and ran up the stairs. I could hear my mother laughing and yelling to me “It’s the second one down on the left!”

As I walked in, I screamed. Everything was already place. My bed was there with its red sheets and black with a large silver rose printed on the comforter. My walls were painted black with a huge and beautiful painting of a silver rose bleeding in red on the wall over my bed. The carpet on my floor was black and some of my other walls had some of my movie and band posters on them. I had gotten a new desk for my laptop and for me to have a place where I could study. The desk was painted in a deep blood red.

There were some doors in my room which I had no clue as to what is behind them. And so curiosity killed the cat and I just had to look. Behind the door that was opposite from my bed was my own personal bathroom! It was painted all silver and had a large black carpet, shower curtain and toilet seat. And so I went to check the other door, which was a huge walk-in closet! But as I walked in, I happened to noticed yet another door. And like I said before, curiosity killed the cat; I opened it and walked inside.

It was beautiful and just what I have been dreaming about my whole life!

Ever since I was three my mother had signed me up for piano lessons and I loved it! And now I’m standing in the room with the balcony that looks over the front yard with a grand, black oak, piano! I’m so over whelmed right now, I think I might cry.

“So… how do you like it?” I hadn’t noticed my mother come in to my new bedroom since I had opened the door.

“Mom… this is… AMAZING! Thank you so much!” I said as I lunged at her for a huge bear hug.

“But there is one more surprise,” I looked at her as if she was crazy.

“What?” I was really excited and was really nervous to know what the next surprise was.

“This,” my mom said as she pulled out a black cat with a bald crescent moon spot on her forehead.

“Mom you got me a cat?!” I said disbelieving as she gently handed me the sweet little cat.

“Well your father and I thought that you might want a friend after the final move,” I was cradling the small cat in my arms as she told me that.

“This was dad’s idea?” I simply asked.

“Well, to be honest sweetie, no. But it was he who had agreed with me on the idea,” we both had a small laugh for a few minutes. Then we just took a moment of silence to just look around at our new surroundings.

“I guess that I should go thank him, huh?” I asked breaking the silence between us.

“Yeah, I think that would be a good idea,” she said agreeing with me.

“Can I do it later on? I’m feeling kind of dizzy from all of this excitement,” I said while I went to put the sweet little cat down on her scratching post/bed/home.

“Yes, I think that is a good idea,” mom then gave me a hug and kissed my cheek. While she was walking over to the door to leave the secret room, she turned back to me, “Serena, do you want to be home schooled for a little bit more, or do you think you’re ready for public school again?”

When she asked me that, I had no clue what to think. Ever since I went to live in the mental facility at the hospital, I have been home schooled and if I stayed with home schooling, I should be graduating high school this year. But maybe and hopefully things would be different.

“Umm… we could try home schooling for a few more weeks if not for the next month, and if you feel like you’re ready, you just tell me if and when you want to go back to public schooling,” mom said right before she left.

I didn’t know what to do or think at the time. So I picked up my new cat and walked back to my bedroom. When I looked at the clock, it read something like 9:45am.

“I think we should get some sleep, eh?” I asked the cat as we both lay down on the bed, I got under the covers and the cat slept at my feet on top of the covers.

Nightmares; are they all true or are they all just made up just to psych you out?

Some have meanings and others don’t?

Are they all just about what you fear or dread the most? Or are they about something random that you have never heard about?

My dreams make no sense, they have no meaning, and the only thing they cause is just confusion. Yes they are bone chilling scary, but really… could there be something more to the dream then just confusion over all when the dream is done?

I usually get the feeling that there is someone out there that hates me so much; they decided to give me all of these unmeaningful dreams. They have no end and just keep going every night. Same people with the shadowed faces but in a different dream. But sometimes I get dreams of my father getting drunk again but this time he can’t control himself and I end up getting really hurt and almost to the point of dying. And I also get some dreams about Cady telling me something important. It’s like as if she’s trying to tell me what is about to happen to me and the world in the mere future.

Waking up; is waking up from any dream telling you that you’re safe? Because if that’s true… then why do I feel the opposite of safe?

Is waking up in a cold sweat and heavy breathing a sign of safety? Or is it the sign of the devil trying to conquer over you through your dreams?

When I woke up it was about 2:30 in the afternoon. My new cat was still sleeping at the foot of my bed. ‘I still need to name her,’ I thought in my head as I got up from my bed and stalked towards my bathroom.

I then looked at myself in the mirror and I could tell that I didn’t sleep too well when I took that nap.

I then decided that I should take a shower and wash up. After I turned on the water, stripped out of my awesome ripped jeans and black tank-top, I then stepped into the nice warm hot shower. It was very relaxing and it helped me wake up more.

When I got out I wrapped myself in a large silver with black polka doted towel that my mother had probably picked out. I had noticed that all of my stuff was unpacked and put away. All of my make-up, hair, and bathroom supplies was out and neatly placed all over my sink. I smiled to myself while I was brushing my teeth.

After that I blow-dried my hair and straightened it and put on some black eyeliner. Then I put my dyed black hair up in a high messy ponytail bun.

I was still wrapped tightly in my towel when I exited my bathroom to my bedroom. When I got out, once again I had noticed something. Everything was unpacked and put away! So I quickly went over to my dresser to get some underwear and a bra. Then I went over to my walk-in closet and picked out what I was going to wear for the rest of the day.

I decided to wear a pair of my favorite worn out and ripped jeans and my favorite band’s tour shirt, AnOnYmOuS. I guess you could say that I’m one of those Goth girls that shop at places like Hot Topic and Spencer’s and that also dye their hair black and wear dark make-up. Well yeah I guess you can say that I am that. But I don’t wear the slutty clothes that they sell there and I don’t wear my make-up dark at all. I just like to wear band t-shirts, tank-tops, jeans and dark clothes in general. I do have three pairs of sweat pants and some college sweat shirts. I also have like four jackets that are black and green, plain black, black and red, and black and purple.

Black isn’t my favorite color though. My favorite color is pink, but I would never admit that out loud or to anyone for the matter. My mother doesn’t even know what my favorite color is… she just thinks that it’s some kind of dark color or black.

When I had gotten back home from the hospital, I thought that everything would go back to the way it used to. But when my father started to ignore me and just pretended that I didn’t exist, I was hopeful. But I then had to quickly remind myself that things like that I should never hope for, because it was always useless.

When I was finished with getting my clothes on, I then went back to my dresser and got out a pair of black ankle socks and put on my black low top converse. I then went to see where my cat was and couldn’t find her.

“She probably went to go get something to eat I guess…” I said to myself as I walked out of my room and down the stairs and into the kitchen to find my mother starting dinner.

“Hey mom,” I apparently startled her and she nearly almost knocked over the pot she was using to cook dinner in. “Sorry,” I apologized for making her jump.

“It’s okay… So how are you feeling?” she asked as she took a break from cooking to talk with me and looked at me straight in the eye to make sure that I wasn’t lying.

I’m really good at lying. Everyone believes me, but my mother can see right through me whenever I go to open my mouth to talk. So telling her the truth was the only way out from her giving you a lecture on why lying is bad and that’s why Pinocchio’s nose grew so long, because he was a terrible liar.

“Okay… I guess,” okay so maybe that wasn’t the truth but still, I think she bought it.

“Okay sweetie. Dinner will be ready in about an hour or so,” see I told you that she would buy it!

“Okay… hey mom?”

“Hm?”

“Do you think that it would be okay if I went into town?”

“Yeah, sweetie, it’s fine with me, but not today okay?” I could understand what she meant by that. We were new to the town and we needed to unpack the rest of our stuff. And I wasn’t really planning on going into town today. I was thinking more of the day after tomorrow?

“Yeah, I was thinking more of like the day after tomorrow… if that’s alright with you,” I needed parent permission. Usually I would be all over with going to new and different places for a change in scenery and just to get away from some people. Like back in Maryland right after I got back from the hospital, I would always walk over to the park and spend most of my days there on the swing set in the playground or I would be shooting hoops on the basketball court.

My mother was eyeing my funny and then walked over to me and put her hand on my forehead.

“Mom… what are you doing?” I asked about her sudden actions.

“I thought that you might have a temperature… whenever you say you want to go somewhere you usually just go not caring what I or your father says… granted you never listen to him…” the last part was not audible for me to hear because it was in too low of a whisper that I don’t think anyone for the matter would ever be able to hear her!

“Yeah… Hey have you seen my cat?” it had just dawned on me that I haven’t seen my new cat for about over an hour now and I was starting to get a little worried.

“Yeah sweetie, she just finished eating… you haven’t named her yet?”

The black cat with the golden crescent moon heard us talking about her and walked over to us from her water bowl. I picked her up in my arms and held her tight. But not so tight that she couldn’t breathe or move, just tight enough so she wouldn’t fall from my arms.

She looked up at me with curious eyes and I got this weird sense of déjà vu as we just looked into each other’s eyes.

‘Do I know this cat from somewhere? And if I do… then why do I keep thinking that it used to be a person that I once knew? Cady, maybe, could she have been reborn but into a cat’s body? Now I must be going crazy!’ I thought to myself.

“Uh… Hey mom, I think that I’m gonna go hangout in my room and work on my piano until dinner is ready… okay?”

She wasn’t paying any attention as she was too intent on making dinner once again.

“Yeah, sure honey, but just be sure that you are down here before your brother and father get back,” this had caught my attention.

“Why? Where did they go, mom?”

“They went to the store to get something. Sammy said that it was going to be a surprise for you and that it was for the both of you. Your father only agreed to—”

“It because it was Sammy’s idea. Yeah mom I got it. And I’ll be back down stairs when they pull into the driveway,” I finished for her and then headed up the stairs and back into my bed room.

When I was back in my bedroom I quickly went to the room that you could get to only through my closet. I closed my closet door and locked my music room door so no one could hear the conversation that was about to happen and was about to blow my mind away!

The first thing that I did once I got into the room was put my cat down on her scratching post and then I went to take a seat at my piano. I was actually planning on working on my piano skills but I’m starting to rethink that idea at the moment.

So for about close to ten to fifteen minutes I just sat there staring at the music for my exercises for piano…

Then I was snapped out of me thoughts as I heard a voice talking to me.

“Your time is now and we have a lot of work to do. Training and all, that is,” I looked around the room looking for the person that the female voice had come from.

Then my cat got up, jumped down to the floor and started to walk over to me and jumped on to my lap and looked me straight in the eye.

“My name is Luna and you are the reincarnation of my princess from the time of the Moon Kingdom, Princess Serenity. You are also the chosen leader of the Sailor Scouts, Sailor Moon, guardian of the Moon and protector of Earth until the Prince is found,” Luna then jumped from my lap and did a flip with glitter emitting from her, falling to the floor and forming into two different objects. A pink circle brooch with a golden star on it had formed. With a red, blue, green and orange dot surrounding it and at the top of the star was a little golden crescent moon. And a necklace had also formed with a small real white diamond star and pink diamond crescent moon.

“The Brooch is for you to transform into Sailor Moon and this was the necklace that you wore when you were Princess Serenity from so long ago,”

I just looked at Luna dumbfounded and speechless. I then picked up the necklace and held it in my hand. Next I picked up the brooch and I could feel its power seeping into my veins and start coursing through my body and through my blood. I had my eyes closed as I felt the power within me. It felt very relaxing. When I opened my eyes again I looked back at Luna. This had to be some kind of crazy dream. No way could I feel this kind of power in real life!

“You won’t get your memories back until the time is right. Your scouts and guardians don’t have too much of their memories back either. The only thing that I was told that they know is of you. But even then they only know that you are the only being in the universe that can contain, control and use the Silver Imperial Crystal,” Luna said very seriously.

“Are you joking?! This has to be some kind of crazy minded dream! I need to tell Mom to stop giving me those sleeping pills; they’re starting to make me go crazy!” when I looked back to Luna, she seemed frustrated. Shaking her head she walked around in a little circle and then faced me once more.

“No Serenity, this is no dream,”

“Okay… then PROVE IT!”

“Okay, hold up your brooch, and shout ‘Moon Crystal Power, Make-UP!’” I just eyed Luna suspiciously and then held up my brooch. And put the necklace on my piano.

“Moon… Crystal… POWER MAKE-UP!” after I said those words… I was starting to regret it. I was incased with a nice warm pink light… but when I looked down and at my body… my clothes were gone! But I am grateful that the light is very blinding.

Then swirls of blue, red and white ribbon were wrapping itself around my body. The white had turned into a bodice, the blue turned in to a really short skirt that I am never going to get use to. And finally the red turned into a pair of boots that went up to my knee that have little golden crescent moon on the tip of them, and the red also turned in to two bows.

I could feel something form on my forehead, neck and ears. I quickly ran over to my closet and grabbed the full length mirror. I was in so much shock, that I think I could burst into tears right then and there.

I had a golden tiara on my forehead with a golden crescent moon on it. On my neck, I had a red choker that also had a golden crescent moon in the middle of it. The earrings, of course, were also golden crescent moons. But what terrified me the most was what I saw on my head that graced down to my calves. It was golden and something that I haven’t seen in four years. My old hair! Memories came back, but surprisingly they weren’t as bad as I thought they were.

My memories of Cady played in my head and a small smile graced my lips as I just stared at my reflection in the mirror. So my hair was back up in its old style, odangos and all. But each ball of hair had a large ruby on it. So it would complete my sailor look.

“Now do you believe me?” asked Luna as she stalked over to me.

“Not fully… but I think that you would want my trust more than me believing you,”

“Yes, that is correct,”

“Okay then you have 25% of it right now,” and so a small smile graced her little kitty features.

“Okay now back to what I was saying about the Silver Imperial Crystal—”

“What is the Silver Imperial Crystal?” I asked. Those three words sounded so familiar to me… where have I heard it before?

“It is the strongest crystal known to mankind that holds the power to control and conquer the whole universe. It’s so powerful that in one blast it could destroy a planet. The only problem is, is that we do not know where it is. That is why we need you, Princess. You are the only one who knows how to find the crystal. But know this, once the evil that we are up against finds out that you are alive; they will do everything in their power to capture you and get the crystal for themselves. If the Silver Imperial Crystal falls into the wrong hands, this world will cease to exist!” said Luna more urgently this time.

“So let me guess, you want me to fight this evil as Sailor Moon but keep my Princess identity a secret from everyone?” I questioned. I wasn’t enjoying this one bit, but getting the chance to fight to save the planet and not get in trouble for it sounds like fun! But knowing that I might die is one of these battles wasn’t a very pleasant thought either. If you haven’t noticed, I use to get into fights all the time as a kid. So this is kind of a good thing for me.

“Well technically yes and technically no. Your scouts must know that you are the princess. But they won’t know from the first meeting. They would need to see me with you—”

“Well what if I don’t want them to find out? What if I just want to fly solo for the fighting? Or maybe I could just help them out, ‘cause you did tell me that my power is very strong. So I could just help out. I’m not really a team person. In fact I’ve only had one friend my whole life but she…” did I really want to tell Luna about what had happened with Cady? No, “… she moved away and I haven’t seen or talk to her since. So I don’t want to get too close to them, because I don’t want to go through that kind of pain ever again. Do you understand me?” Luna just looked at me eyes wide. “Now can you please tell me how I get out of this slutty thing?”

“Grab on to your bow,” I did that, “Now pull up then down and think in your head, De-Transformation,” I did just that and I turned back into my regular old self with short black layered hair.

I got up from where I was sitting and put the brooch into my front pocket in my jeans and then walked over to my balcony. While I did that I put my Moon Princess necklace on.

“I do not understand your highness. Your guardians will want to know that you have been born in this time and are so far safe from any danger. And from what I can recall from my memories of the Moon Kingdom, you and your guardians were really close and were sister-like best friends. Especially you, Mars and Venus. Just meet them and see for yourself,”

“Okay, I’ll think about it. But I still don’t want them to know anything! Just remember one thing Luna; I will never be safe no matter where I am or who I am with. And I can protect myself. I am just doing this because I think that this is a dream and that maybe fighting the monsters that come here will be fun and will take my mind off of most things…” I trailed off as I saw my dad and Sammy pull into the driveway. “Well I guess I should go down stairs now. We will finish this after dinner,” then I quickly made my way down the stairs and into the kitchen to help set up the dining room table for our first dinner here in our new home in New Salem, North Dakota.

When You Wish for Change

By: SailorMoon489

Prologue:

Have you ever thought that life could turn out the way that you had hoped and dreamed for? Have

you ever tried to make a wish on a random star in the midnight sky, wishing that things could change?

Or was the wish about the school hottie dumping his most popular, varsity cheer leading girlfriend?

for you?

Life for me was always like that. Well somewhat. Yes, I do wish that things in my life would change, but

to be honest, I could totally care less if, any guy for the matter, breaks up with their hot girlfriend for

me.

My life is like a living hell, and when you live in my world, you only learn a few emotions. Hate, fear,

pity, loath? and pain.

I was born in the city of Tokyo, Japan. No I?m not fully Japanese. I?m a mix between American and

Japanese, but I look more American then Asian. My parents were visiting my grandparents on my

father?s side of the family. My mother was four months pregnant with me at the time. But that was

when they first arrived there. My parents were going to be staying with my grandparents for a few

months to help out with some things around the house and to plan for the family reunion that was

going to happen in the middle of the upcoming summer. They were thinking that the middle of July

would be best for all of the family.

The reunion was for my father?s side of the family, and he also knew that his unborn child would be

born by the time of the reunion. My father, Kenji Tsukino, was hoping and wishing for a boy. But he

also came to the conclusion that a girl would be nice too. But he just didn?t want to go through all of

the things that his father had to put up with his older sister. My aunt, Nikomi Hayashi, was married

to a rich business man, Norio Hayashi, by the age of 18. Norio is three years older her and is the third

oldest in his family. They have two kids. Kobayashi is the oldest, he?s older than me by a year and

Kimiko the youngest by two years, and she?s younger than me by a year.

When it got around to the second week in June, my family was expecting me to be born within the week. But to their surprise, I was born two weeks late. I was born on June 30th, 1992. I was a healthy

little baby, and my father?s hopes were crushed when he found out that he had a little girl. My mother

already knew what she wanted to name me, if she was going to have a girl. She gave me the name of

Serenity Usagi Tsukino. Granted they weren?t really going to call me Serenity, so my mommy gave me

the nickname of Serena. But while we were in Japan, everyone called me Usagi. It did get confusing at

sometimes, though because I wasn?t use to my name yet and also I was an infant.

When my father saw me for the first time, he was happy. Not the ?Oh my god I have a daughter!? kind

of happy, but the ?Oh thank god she doesn?t look like me so I don?t have to call her mine,? kind of

happy. Yes, you can say that my father is a jackass. I think that too. But he does act like he cares?

well sometimes.

We stayed in the country side of Tokyo until the reunion was over. Then my parents took me to my new

home in the busy, crowded and over populated heart of the city of Tokyo, Japan. We lived in Tokyo until

a few months after my second birthday. Then we moved to another big city, but this time it was in the

United States of America. And the state that holds this city is Maryland. We lived in Baltimore for three

years. And during the second year there, my little brother was born. Before Sammy was born, my father

used to take his anger out on me sometimes, but mostly when ever my mother wasn?t around. Like

whenever she left to go to the store, he would watch over me?

There was no physical violence, but he would just yell at me. He always had the thought of if he didn?t

want me then he didn?t have to treat me like I?m one of his children, which I am! My mother never knew

about it, and she still doesn?t know till this day.

After Sammy was born, we packed everything and then moved to another city in Maryland, Rockville.

Life there was worse than ever! If you think that my father not liking me and taking out his problems

on me was bad, well let?s just say that all of the kids at school don?t like me. Growing up, life was hard.

I had no friends, my teachers could care less about me, and I was constantly bullied about my hair!

By the age of six my hair had grown quite long. It was a few inches past my knees, so my mom decided

to put it up in the hair style that she use to wear her hair in when she was my age growing up. My hair

was styled into two pigtails with two small balls of hair at the top. Everyone called me ?Meatball Head,?

or ?Ball Brain?. Those were some cruel names that kids called me.

When I was about eight or nine, the one thing that I never thought would happen, happened! It was

one day during free time; these kids were picking on me and so this new kid in school, Cady Williams,

came over and got them to stop. She was really nice to me unlike the other students and teachers. So

we became friends right away. We also found out that we have a lot in common!

But things weren?t to last. Two years later, there was a sniper attack in Rockville and some other cities

in the state of Maryland. They shot at anything and anyone in sight. They even shot my best friend

when she was walking home from school with me one day.

The kids at school blame me for her death. But I just didn?t care anymore. Life was getting harder and

it was also starting to get out of control when my father lost his job and started drinking heavily. When

he got a new job, the drinking started to slow down a bit as dad got more and more into his work. But

when he did drink, he got really violent and abusive. Even in his drunken stupor, he knew not to do

anything when mom was around. But he knew that my mother was a heavy sleeper, so right after she

fell asleep, he would come into my room and beat the living daylights out of me. He would slap my face

and punch and kick me in the stomach, sides, and back. I had bruises all over, but no one knew. No one

knew except for my brother.

In the dark of the night, he would hear my cries for help and my yelps of pain. My father also threatens

me that if I tell anyone about this, it would be the end of me. And so I told Sam not to tell anyone and he

listens to me.

I started to cut myself around the age of twelve. The cuts didn?t get bad until I was about fourteen. Things

started to change. My father started to get really weird when he was drunk, he still beat me though. And

everyone at school didn?t seem to hate me much? well just the guys. The girls still hate me and wish I were

dead. And boy do I agree with them all the way.

When I got to eighth grade I decided to cut and dye my hair, to get rid of the awful memories of my past. I

dyed it black and cut it just a few inches past my shoulders. I still have my bangs but what I don?t have any

more is my long golden blonde hair. And that I am thankful for. Over the years I have gone into a deep

depression and I am almost suffering from anorexia. I still eat, but not that much. I mean the only thing that

I will have is water!

But then one day, during school, I fainted during gym and was rushed to the hospital. They noticed the cuts

and bruises all over my body and I told them that I did the cutting but got jumped by some girls one day

walking home from school. They told my parents and my father told them to put me into a place where I could get help and let my body recover from all of the violence that my father was putting on me; he never told them that he did that to me. And to let my inflicted cuts heal up. There is a place in the hospital where they do all of that, and they immediately put me in there. I still kept dying my hair black and I did get it cut twice a year.

Everyone there was so nice and they too, knew what I was going through. Some of them went into drugs because of everything that had gone on in their lives and some just tried to commit suicide. I had also got to talk to some people that had suffered from anorexia and have survived. I liked that place. It was like heaven compared to home that was hell.

I stayed there for the next two years. And when I was let out, well let?s just say the only reason why I was let out was because my family was moving. So I was released three days early and started packing. Sammy told me that we were moving to New Salem, North Dakota.

JUST READ THE STORY AND I'M PRETTY SURE YOU'LL LOVE IT.

SAILOR STARS 2: EPISODE 201 – RETURN TO KINMOKU

By Robert C. McGee

EXT. SURFACE OF PLANET KINMOKU; NIGHT

Priness Kakyuu along with the Sailor Starlight return to their home planet of Kinmoku. Sailor Star Healer is the first to land of the planet where she will make sure the planet can still sustain life. As Sailor Star Healer senses the planet's conditons, she comes to the conclusion that they can now return home.

STAR HEALER:

(talking into her headset)

It's safe to come down.

They all land in front of the Kinmoku Palace.

STAR FIGHTER:

Not much survived the attack.

STAR MAKER:

We still have our home.

KAKYUU:

There are no guards, no people. The palace is empty, I want to see what's become of it.

They walk inside the palace to see the damage left behind by Sailor Galaxia. The see that the damage was devastating, Sailor Star Healer pauses to think about what could have possibly happen to the other Sailor Warriors as they tried to ward off the forces of the Shadow Galactica. We see the images rush throw her head and they are graphic, so bad she collapses.

STAR FIGHTER:

Sailor Star Healer, are you alright?

STAR HEALER:

(Gasping)

I'm fine. Just the though of what happen is too much to bare.

KAKYUU:

Everyone, gone.

VOICE:

Not all of them.

A figure can be seen in the shadows.

STAR MAKER:

Who's there?

VOICE:

Don't be afraid of an old friend Taiki.

He walks out of the shadow, his look is similar to that of Sailor Galaxia herself.

KAKYUU:

It's can't be; Arkanite? Is that you?

ARKANITE:

Yes princess, it's me.

KAKYUU:

You've grown.

ARKANITE:

Yes, It's been so long. I almost gave up hope, but if your alive that can only mean. My mother, what happen to her?

KAKYUU:

She's alright, thanks to Sailor Moon. So you haven't seen her yet, she's taking the star seeds back to there their rightful owners.

ARKANITE:

If that's true then he hasn't woken up yet.

KAKYUU:

Who hasn't woken up?

ARKANITE:

Your brother. Follow me.

They follow him to a room that used to be apart of the dungeon.

ARKANITE: (CONT'D)

There he is. He's still alive, but he's in a deep sleep. I wouldn't know how to awaken him unless his starseed is returned.

STAR HEALER:

How do you know he's alive? Everyone else is dead.

ARKANITE:

Actually no, there are a few other survivors living underground. In the case of prince Kalgura here, I infused a few drops of my blood in him so he can stay alive but it's not enough to wake him up.

KAKYUU:

And if he does, he'll wake up to a world that he doesn't understand.

ARKANITE:

Speaking of such, I must warn you Starlights. The people will fear you and try to destroy you, the attack that devastated this world was not the last, the most recent attack was only 12 days ago and each attack comes and goes every several weeks. Only myself, the prince and princess are the only ones still alive who remember you.

KAKYUU:

You mean my mother and father did not survive.

ARKANITE:

They where the last of the old generation to be killed by Sailor Galaxia. As a warning to all those who would appose her.

They all now realise that they did not come back to a dead planet but at the same time they don't know if the people would execpt them.

KAKYUU:

What sort of influence do you have on the survivors?

ARKANITE:

None, all they know is that I'm Galaxia's son and that she wasn't always evil.

STAR FIGHTER:

Chaos is to blame for that.

ARKANITE:

I forgot all about Chaos. What did Sailor Moon do with Chaos?

STAR MAKER:

Chaos was sent back into the minds of all people.

ARKANITE:

That could only mean another war in the distant future.

At that moment, Arkanite receives a call from someone. He reaches for a star shaped belt buckle and talks on it like a cell phone.

ARKANITE: (CONT'D)

Yes.

ON PHONE:

I think we might have a break though.

ARKANITE:

That's good.

ON PHONE:

What was that energy that was near the old palace?

ARKANITE:

You won't believe this Ando, Princess Kakyuu has returned.

ANDO:

Good, maybe we can all come out of hiding real soon.

ARKANITE:

I've also gotton word that Galaxia was defeated on Planet Earth and back to her normal self again. Plus the three remaining Sailor Starlights are with the princess.

ANDO:

Looks like there's some hope left after all. Can they hear me?

ARKANITE:

I don't think so.

ANDO:

When your mother has finished returning the starseeds to the planets, you have to convince her to give up her broach. Even if she is your mother she's too dangerous no matter what side she's on.

ARKANITE:

Ando, I haven't lost faith in her. That broach has caused alot of hardship for the people here but I'm sure the princess can make up for it.

ANDO:

I'm one of those people remember? Your not really one of us, we just execpt you because you didn't share your mother's destructive nature.

ARKANITE:

I understand, if I bring the Sailor Starlights with me will you let them in?

ANDO:

Sure, they can come in. They might share some intrest in my break though here.

ARKANITE:

I'll see you at the cave.

Arkanite places his belt buckle back on his belt.

ARKANITE: (CONT'D)

I think you all need to come with me. This could be really good for you.

KAKYUU:

Go with him, I'm staying here with my brother.

STAR FIGHTER:

Are you sure?

KAKYUU:

I'm not ready to face my people just yet. I need some time alone to think about I've been though and how I'm going to lead my people out of hiding.

ARKANITE:

I agree, someone has to watch him. If some comes in a purple dress, that's only Helna, she also keeps a close watch on the prince from time to time.

They leave Kakyuu alone so she can be with her brother.

KAKYUU:

Kalgura; my brother. If you can hear me, then I want you to know that I won't leave your side until you wake up. I need you more then ever now, come back soon wherever you are.

FLASH TO: INT. ANDO'S CAVE

The Sailor Starlights along with Arkanite are now wondering into a cave where Ando and a few survivors are hiding.

ARKANITE:

Now I should warn you even though they know who you are, they don't know what you look like. Sailor Solders are not trusted here; but Ando, myself and a few others have been trying to change that by actually recuiting some with in our ranks. That's what Ando has been working on for the past 12 years.

They come to a door, Arkanite uses his belt buckle as a key to open the door.

ARKANITE: (CONT'D)

Ando.

ANDO:

Just a minute.

STAR HEALER:

Is this what they've been reduced to?

STAR FIGHTER:

Lets keep our optimism high, the people won't trust us they'll surly trust the princess.

ANDO:

There you are.

ARKANITE:

I wasn't expecting them to come back so soon.

ANDO:

I need to see something just to make sure I'm on the right track here.

Ando lifts up some sort of energy reader to scan the starlight, once he has the data he then compairs it to what he has so far.

ANDO: (CONT'D)

Wow, I'm getting real close.

STAR MAKER:

Can you tell us what your doing.

ANDO:

Trying to create new Sailor Starlights because of your long absents.

ARKANITE:

Show them what you have.

ANDO:

Well, some of this wasn't ready yet. I've been keeping Arkanite in the dark for quite some time about all this because I was looking for a real break though. So far this is what I got.

Ando takes them over to the displays.

ANDO: (CONT'D)

Now your headsets and outfits where easy but the hard part has been to actually make something that's stable, because we don't want another Galaxia. Once I had that, I divided the project into thirds. This one is called Cruiser, this Second one here is Crusher, now the third one is one I'm very proud of, last but not least is Warper; the most powerful one so far.

STAR FIGHTER:

These are meant to be our replacements?

ANDO:

Just don't take this the wrong way, after all you three have been gone a long time. Plus we needed a better way to defend ourselves.

STAR HEALER:

Who would you give these powers to once you have what you need.

ANDO:

My three older sisters, they have been training very hard and they are very patent with my work. Their in the simulator right now so you'll have to wait.

ARKANITE:

I'm pretty sure they'll be fine, I need to head back to the palace. Ando, can you keep them here?

ANDO:

It would be a pleasure.

Arkanite leaves the cave and heads back to the palace.

ANDO: (CONT'D)

Do you wan to meet them? They are future Star lights if everything goes well.

FLASH TO:

PALACE

Priness Kakyuu is still sitting next to her brother. Arkanite comes in to see her.

ARKANITE:

You can hear his heart beat can you?

KAKYUU:

Yes. I can hear it.

ARKANITE:

It's the only thing that keeps us certian that he is alive. As long as someone is here with him, he cannot die. I don't want you to stay too long or you'll feel week, that's because he is feeding off of small levels of life energy to stay alive.

KAKYUU:

He needs his starseed back.

ARKANITE:

That would wake him up for sure as long as my mother keeps doing what I think she's doing.

KAKYUU:

What do you think she's doing?

ARKANITE:

While on my way back here I got a call from Ando saying he's found Galaxia. She's going back to every planet in the order in which they where attacked, she's doing so really fast. It's estimated that she will be here in no less then 2 days.

KAKYUU:

So he's going to wake up. That's good news.

Arkanite's belt buckle starts beeping, he is getting another call.

ARKANITE:

I got to take this princess. (talking on the belt buckle) What do you want?

VOICE:

Where are you at right now? We need to talk.

ARKANITE:

Meet me outside the palace in less then a minute.

He turns off the call.

KAKYUU:

Who was that?

ARKANITE:

Don't worry, just stay with the prince a little longer.

Arkanite walks outside to meet with the person he just spoke to on his comlink. A man soon aproaches the palace entance.

ARKANITE: (CONT'D)

Mr. Smekers, what are you doing here?

MR. SMEKERS:

Mr. Arkanite, the captain is requesting payment for next month's tribute for your planet's protection.

ARKANITE:

That won't be nessary. Your services are no longer needed.

MR. SMEKERS:

Are you giving Captain Exorian a bad rap on his reputation?

ARKANITE:

That is not what I mean to do, the Sailor Starlights have returned.

MR. SMEKERS:

Really? How long has it been since three of my fellow shipmates where killed trying to defend this nearly lifeless world you call home? About 2 weeks ago, I think that's warent's extra if we are going to dissolve the parntership.

ARKANITE:

No disrespect for the fallen but do you know how much the survivors of this world value the treasures we have given to you? Those treasure's are their only link to a great kingdom long gone.

MR. SMEKERS:

The captain doesn't care, it's either you pay us in before sunset or I come back with more men but this time we won't be fighting Sailor Solderes. We'll be killing you and looting this world of everything it has.

ARKANITE:

Go ahead, death will be waiting for you and those who come with you.

MR. SMEKERS:

We have been fighting Sailor Solders and killing them for quite some time and where very good at it. Death won't be for me, it will be waiting for you.

With that said, Mr. Smekers teleports back to his ship.

MR. SMEKERS: (CONT'D)

Captain, something has happen down on Kinmoku.

EXORIAN:

Tell me Mr. Smekers, what is Arkanite doing this time?

MR. SMEKERS:

He's refusing to pay.

EXORIAN:

(Angry)

What!? Why would he refuse the great Captian Exorian?

MR. SMEKERS:

The Sailor Starlights, he says they've come back.

EXORIAN:

Really? Have a drop ship ready in few hours.

WATCHMEN:

Galaxia ahoy?

EXORIAN:

Where?

WATCHMEN:

Approaching Vega Sector.

EXORIAN:

First the Starlights and now Galaxia?

Exorian looks at the moniter and sees for himself.

EXORIAN: (CONT'D)

I don't believe it, it's Galaxia but she's alone. This could be trouple.

Back on the surface, Arkanite is calling Ando back at his lab.

ARKANITE:

Inform the Starlights to be ready for an aminate attack. Time is of the essance.

ANDO:

I'll tell them.

Ando hangs up and turns to the Starlights.

ANDO: (CONT'D)

Starlights, I just recieved word from Arkanite that Captian Exorian will be sending his follows down here to attack the people.

STAR FIGHTER:

Who is Captain Exorian?

ANDO:

He has been an ally with us against many of Galaxia's attacks; but word of your return has made him turn on us.

STAR MAKER:

We better be ready, if his followers can fight sailor solders and survive but he's just a man, how can he be so strong?

ANDO:

The only thing that intrests Exorian is anything he would consider to be treasure.

STAR HEALER:

What would that be?

ANDO:

Anything from the old kingdom? It really depends on what it's made of.

STAR FIGHTER:

While we where on earth, I read about pirates and what they could do and what they had done. If this Captain Exorian is anything like what I've read, then everything that made this kingdom so great will be taken a little at a time.

STAR MAKER:

Right, when those pirates arrive. We'll give them a welcome they'll never forget.

The Starlights run out of the cave and back to the palace to they can defend Princess Kakyuu.

STAR FIGHTER:

Princess, you in danger here. You must come with me.

KAKYUU:

I don't care anymore, the kingdom is gone. All that's left is myself and my brother.

STAR FIGHTER:

An evil man is coming to attack the planet unless we give in to his demands.

KAKYUU:

Just give him what he wants.

STAR FIGHTER:

He wants the kingdom.

KAKYUU:

Is that so?

STAR FIGHTER:

Yes.

KAKYUU:

He can't have it. Whoever he is; he won't have this kingdom.

STAR FIGHTER:

Then you must come with me.

ARKANITE:

It's alright, go with Sailor Star Fighter. She'll take you to Ando, where you'll be safe.

KAKYUU:

Alright.

ARKANITE:

As soon as she is safe, you come back here. Healer and Maker won't be able to fight these pirates alone.

STAR FIGHTER:

I will.

ARKANITE:

If only my mother could get here faster, she could wake you up by giving you back your starseed.

STAR HEALER:

Alright Maker, there they are.

STAR MAKER:

Lets hope that fighter will have the princess out of the palace by then.

STAR FIGHTER:

Take this, it's Arkanite's belt buckle. So I can contact you when I'm on my way.

KAKYUU:

Watch yourself's Starlights.

Star Fighter and Princess Kakyuu start heading off toward Ando's cave. The dropship lands near the palace, and they ride over on battle vehicles.

MR. SMEKERS:

You must be the Sailor Starlights. I'm Mr. Smekers, first mate to Captain Exorian.

STAR HEALER:

I guess it's a pleasure then.

MR. SMEKERS:

So, has Arkanite agreed to pay us?

STAR MAKER:

No.

MR. SMEKERS:

What did you say?

STAR MAKER:

They came from Arkanite himself, as well as the princess they both say no.

MR. SMEKERS:

Then you leave us no choice Starlights. Attack!

The pirates began their assault on the Starlights, attacking at every angle to try and bring them down.

STAR HEALER:

Their stronger then we thought.

STAR MAKER:

Not that strong. Star Gentle Uterus!

The attack renders one of the vehicles defenseless.

MR. SMEKERS:

Impossible, those carts are heavily shielded. They've never taken that kind of damage before, trianglate the attacks. Bottleneck them.

The begin to set themselves in three angles.

STAR MAKER:

What are they doing?

STAR HEALER:

Nothing we can't stop. Star Sensitive Inferno!

The entire top angle was taken out from one single attack.

MR. SMEKERS:

No! Shoot them!

They attack but the Starlights jump away from the attacks. Back inside the palace, Arkanite could hear what was going on clearly.

ARKANITE:

Don't worry my prince. This will soon pass, for you it's just some bad dream.

Back outside the palace, they had taken out all but two attack vehicles.

STAR HEALER:

These pirates aren't as strong as they say they are.

STAR MAKER:

It's actually us, being on our home planet makes us stronger but not invincible.

MR. SMEKERS:

Get rid of those two.

PIRATE:

Their too strong sir.

MR. SMEKERS:

Do I have to do everything myself?

PIRATE:

No sir.

MR. SMEKERS:

Then get them.

STAR FIGHTER:

Star Serious Laser!

The blast hit Mr. Smekers craft causing him to fly off of it and soon destroyed.

MR. SMEKERS:

What was that?

STAR FIGHTER:

You shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch.

MR. SMEKERS:

You get her, I got these two all to myself.

Mr. Smekers fired a blast of energy from his hand but Healer and Maker dodged and the blast left a large crater.

MR. SMEKERS: (CONT'D)

I'll get you yet.

Back in the palace, Arkanite was with Prince Kalgura when a bright flash of light appeared. It was Prince Kalgura's starseed and it had fallen down back into the prince's body.

ARKANITE:

It's really happened.

The prince doesn't awaken just yet, but outside the palace. The Starlights wher seeing first hand how simple space pirates could actually stand a chance against Sailor Solders.

STAR FIGHTER:

This is not good.

MR. SMEKERS:

Sorry ladies, but three is a crowd.

SAILOR GALAXIA:

So is four.

A blast of energy came at Mr. Smekers fell and a star seed was hovering in the air.

STAR MAKER:

Galaxia. You've come back.

SAILOR GALAXIA:

Only to return what I can.

Arkanite comes running outside the palace to see what has happen. He is shocked to see his mother with the star seed of a space pirate, but at the same time he was happy to see her.

ARKANITE:

Mother.

SAILOR GALAXIA:

Arkanite? Is that really you?

She runs to him and embraces him.

SAILOR GALAXIA: (CONT'D)

I thought I killed you.

ARKANITE:

No, but I did everything I could to survive and help as many as I could.

SAILOR GALAXIA:

It's a blessing to see you alive and all grown up.

ARKANITE:

Mother, what happen to Chaos?

SAILOR GALAXIA:

I believe you already know. Your looking at is doing now that it's free.

ARKANITE:

Will you be going after it again.

SAILOR GALAXIA:

Not in this lifetime, I still have star seeds to return but take this.

She takes Smeker's star seed and encases it in a box.

SAILOR GALAXIA: (CONT'D)

This will show your enemies that I'm on your side. I'll be back, once I've returned all the star seeds. Be strong my son.

Galaxia flies away with more star seeds to be sent back.

STAR HEALER:

You know what you have to do Arkanite.

ARKANITE:

Yes, I do.

Arkanite walks up to the pirate who is still standing.

PIRATE:

Please, don't do the same thing to me.

ARKANITE:

I'm not going to. Now you deliver a message to Captain Exorian, he is to either leave our world alone in peace or he will face the full ratch of myself and the Starlights. Makes no mistakes, I'm very powerful myself. It runs in the family.

The pirate runs back to the dropship and takes off. Back on the ship, he delievers the message to Exorian.

EXORIAN:

Is that it. He just let you go? That pretty weak, why didn't you kill him?

PIRATE:

Well; I. I don't know.

EXORIAN:

That's enough.

PIRATE:

Please captain, don't make me walk off the bridge.

EXORIAN:

Did I say I was going to. No, but you are still useful. Mr. Flocks.

MR. FLOCKS:

Yes captain.

EXORIAN:

This man is going be swabbing my deck for a month; with his tough, if he refuses he will walk off the bridge.

MR. FLOCKS:

Yes captain, out you go young swabber. There is a man Kinmoku's moon, he wishes to speak with you.

EXORIAN:

Really, what parts is he from?

MR. FLOCKS:

He says he's from the Dark Agency.

EXORIAN:

Never heard of it, but anyway just let him onboard and bring him to my quarters if that's what he wants.

This man is soon bought on board and is led to Exorian.

EXORIAN: (CONT'D)

I'm pretty sure you already know who I am right.

MAN:

Yes, your reputation presides you. From what I am told.

EXORIAN:

Tell me your name.

MAN:

It's Danburite, I'm the leader of the Dark Agency; or I was.

EXORIAN:

Well which is it? You are or you where?

DANBURITE:

I don't really know how to explain it all to myself but for the past week and a half, I've been wondering the galaxy not knowing where I was at and who could have bought me back to life. I heard about your battles on Kinmoku against Sailor Solders being sent by this Sailor Galaxia and I will tell you I have experiance in fighting Sailor Solders.

EXORIAN:

Name one you have fought.

DANBURITE:

Sailor V.

EXORIAN:

She's not one of Galaxia's that I've heard of.

DANBURITE:

She wouldn't be, she the princess the planet Venus and the one who killed me.

EXORIAN:

So what is it you want Mr. Danburite?

DANBURITE:

After thinking about it, I figured out what I want. I want to help you, this Galaxia sounds like a monster.

EXORIAN:

From what my messenger has just told me, she is now only attacking my men, taking their star seeds, and flying around each and every world in the order she attacked them.

DANBURITE:

Well, I should tell you I haven't fully recovered my powers but I when I'm strong enough I'll take my chances with the Starlights.

EXORIAN:

You'll make an excellent addition to this crew Mr. Danburite until your back on your feet. Mr. Flocks?

DANBURITE:

You won't regret this.

MR. FLOCKS:

Yes Captain?

EXORIAN:

Get Mr. Danburite signed up and show him to the first mate's quarters.

MR. FLOCKS:

Yes Captain.

DANBURITE:

First mate, I like the sound of that.

He leaves the captain's quarters, and Exorian starts to thinking to himself.

EXORIAN:

I can sense something in this man. He is the key to getting the rest of the treasure on Kinmoku, whatever he wants to do to this Sailor V is his business but first thing's first. Arkanite's has seeled his own fate, as well as the rest of Kinmoku.

The white lab coat tore violently at the seams as the man in the coat burst through the material, mutating and distorting into a horrible and gruesome form, "The master's awakening has finally begun! This place will be your graveyard! You will be my first victims! I am Gelmatoid!" His face transformed into a blacked dripping flesh, and as an ominous black star appeared on his forehead, long sharp spines sprouted from the crown on his head.

Super Sailor Moon stepped back, and took a defensive stance, “A monster!” Sailor Uranus clutched her Space Sword tightly.

A ghoulish voice rumbled to their ears in reply, “I am more than a monster! I am a super human! A genetic cross of human and alien, more powerful than ever before! Now you will die!”

Narrowly escaping his blast, Super Sailor Moon began to summon her incantation to attack. Wait! She suddenly thought, then cried out, “That was Hotaru’s father only a few moments ago! We can’t kill him!”

Sailor Uranus leapt in front of her and at the monster, “You’re foolish to think that! He is the enemy now! And he will die at my hands! Space Sword Blaster!” Uranus launched herself at Gelmatoid, but the monster easily knocked the attack and Sailor Uranus viciously away.

“Sailor Uranus!” Super Sailor Moon clutched her scepter, determination ran across her face. “Rainbow Moon Heartache!” The white light seeped into Gelmatoid and began to tear him apart. The monster screeched sadistically as his body was slashed into oblivion.

Somewhere, a soft voice called, “Papa,” it whispered, “my sweet father that was so wonderful when mother died... the father that saved me... he was no longer my father. Goodbye, Papa...”

Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Professor Tomoe opened his eyes slowly to hazy whiteness. His head was pounding and he could not move. It felt like his whole body had been through some brutally strenuous labor: ever muscle, every joint throbbed with intense ache. Somehow, he could sense he was not alone; he desperately tried to lift himself up, and with a struggle, he managed to lift himself on his elbows even though his body reeled in revolt. Through the mist he could see a form, a small figure, curled around itself. “Hotaru,” he whispered.

Moving through the mist, painfully, slowly, he worked his way towards the form. It seemed the closer he got to it, the farther it moved away, always out of reach, always just out of sight. He called to it, he strained towards it, but fell again to the floor.

In a flash of light, a vision passed before his eyes: a woman, thin and dark, with solidly gazing eyes, cold and placid. Her hand gripped tightly around a weapon, a glaive, the bringer of annihilation. She smiled to him.

Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

“Hotaru,” he uttered in agony, “I’m sorry, Hotaru - so sorry.” He rolled onto his back and his chest rose and fell in gasping, desperate breaths. Weak, pale hands dug at nothingness as he tried to keep from loosing consciousness. His chest felt tight and trodden, as if it were holding a great weight; it was holding his sadness, his guilt, and his fate. Shutting his eyelids tightly, he felt hot, wet tears on his stiff, cold face. He still felt alive.

Again, he lifted himself up on his elbows, rolled over, and worked his way towards the image in the haze. Though his body faltered, his eyes did not; they never lost sight of the figure, they never forgot who it was.

He had forgotten her in the past, he knew. He had forgotten her, his wife, his life’s purpose. He had let himself be blinded by circumstance and had fallen into darkness, and now he was paying for it with his life. But he couldn’t leave just yet, not without seeing her face one more time.

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

He searched his memory for the moment that he had lost control. He couldn’t place it, but at some point he had fallen astray, and some point he had gotten this idea, this insane idea... when did it happen?

“When did it happen?” he cried out, dragging his numbing body through the mist, “When did I lose you, Hotaru? When did we loose each other?” His breathless sobs fell through his clenched teeth, his mind coiled with questions unanswered. He remembered the explosion in the lab, the body of his wife charred and black, with a scream of death burnt onto her skinless face. Her corpse he found wrapped protectively around their child, and she was alive. She was breathing, and if he did not act, he would lose her too. But he could save her, with all that he had learned, with all the research he had done after being banned from the mainstream scientific community, he could use his powers of science to sustain her, make her live again. He would show them all.

He would save her.

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

“I did what I could, Hotaru! I did what I thought was best,” he finally succumbed to his exhaustion, dropping his tear streaked face to the floor, “for both of us...” He reached towards the shadow in the fog, his finger tips tracing her form, so small and fragile - he only wanted to hold her once more, to protect her as he could not before, as he did not when he should have. As he suffered in shame, the image continued to fade into the distance, away, away from him.

“Don’t leave me here,” he gasped, dropping his arm, and arching his back with one last attempt to rise, “Don’t...” he chocked on his tears - he coughed blood, “don’t leave me alone... to die. Alone! I left you alone!” His eyes closed, the universe pitched and whirled; he lost track of sound, space; he lost his grasp on reality, and as he slipped into darkness he begged for forgiveness, begged for another chance, a chance to start over, to begin again.

As a heavy sigh escaped from his tormented soul, his body relaxed. The scientist lay alone in death, in sorrow, and eternal torment, forever kept from that which he could never truly save.

Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I’m going back to the start
