Rated: NC/17Chapter 1 <Uh Oh! Now what do we do?
Mamoru had just arrived home from University.
‘Yes, a day off. Well, I have time to visit Seijuurou and Natsumi.’ Mamoru thought to himself as he looked at the address that Motoki had given him when he mentioned that Seijuurou and Natsumi had been ill.
"Let’s see, I know that apartment building it is by my favorite flower shop. I can stop by there on the way." Mamoru said to himself as he put his coat on and walked toward the door for his shoes when the phone rang.
"Moshi, moshi. Hai, Yamada-san. I can come in tonight and fill in for Takashi." Mamoru replied to his boss at his part-time job.
‘I’ll just have to visit them some other time.’ Mamoru thought as he turned around to head to his bedroom to change his clothes for work.* * * * * * * * * *
Meanwhile at the Time Gate
"Shimata!!! This is not good! Neo-Queen Serenity has to hear about this." Setsuna grumbled as she ran toward the portal to Crystal Tokyo.
Neo-Queen Serenity and Neo-King Endymion were spending a quiet evening in their room. The castle staff had instructions that they were not to be disturbed.* * * * * * * * * *
"No Luna, I cannot believe that Seijuurou and Natsumi are from a different planet and are the ones behind the cardian attacks." Usagi protested as she and Luna stood outside Serijuurou and Natsumi’s apartment building.
"Well, if you will not listen to me then at least call the others so that you are not going up there all alone." Luna urged Usagi, but to no avail.
"I am not going to discuss this anymore. I’m going up there and see for myself." Usagi declared to Luna, as she walked toward the front door of the apartment building.
"Ooh, that girl," Luna mumbled to herself as she headed off to contact the others about Usagi’s plan.
Meanwhile, Usagi had made her way to Seijuurou and Natsumi’s apartment. She hesitated at the door and thought about what Luna had said. ‘No, there is no way I am going to believe that they are what Luna says.’ Usagi thought to herself as she knocked on the door.
Seijuurou answered the door and was overjoyed that it was Usagi.
"Konichiwa Usagi-chan. Please come in and sit down." Seijuurou greeted Usagi and motioned her to the couch.
Nastumi was coming out of the kitchen to see who was at the door and was pleased that it was Usagi. ‘Great! Now I just have to get her away from Ail long enough to put her in the room with the Makaiju and let it drain all of her energy.’ Natsumi thought to herself, a wide smile spreading across her face.
"Konichiwa Usagi-chan. I am so glad to see you. Here, have some sweets and tea." Natsumi smiled, pushing a tray of cookies and pastries toward Usagi.
"Seijuurou, why don’t you go into the kitchen and make us some tea while Usagi and I have a bit of girl chat, so I can catch up on things since I have been home from school." Natsumi smiled at Seijuurou and turned to start talking to Usagi.* * * * * * * * * *
Neo-Queen Serenity and Neo-King Endymion lay in each other’s arms after making love. Serenity was curled up in Endymion’s arms as he absentmindedly stroked her loose hair, which had been released from the usual odangos.
"Oh, Endy, I love you so much. I am glad that we can have quiet time like this." Serenity cooed and nuzzled his chest.
"I feel the same my love." Endymion purred as he gently rolled Serenity over and began to kiss her neck and work his way down to her awaiting breasts. Slowly he suckled one then the other.
"Hmmm, that feels wonderful my love." Usagi moaned at barely a whisper.
"Just wait. It gets better." Endymion whispered and resumed his present task.
The peace and tranquility of the moment was short lived because a very rushed and frantic Guardian of Time burst into the King and Queen’s bedchamber. This intrusion caused the King and Queen to scramble for covers.
Setsuna realizing the present condition of her King and Queen swiftly bent to one knee and awaited them.
"Setsuna, this had better be important!!!! Someone had better be dead or dying." King Endymion roared at the kneeling Senshi.
"Or the world had better be coming to an end." Queen Serenity added.
"Yes, your majesties. This is most urgent. There is a great disruption in the flow of time and it is concerning your past self, my King." Setsuna answered and ventured to look at the fuming couple in the bed huddled beneath the sheets; and she had the grace to blush.
"I will wait for your majesties in the conference room, so that you may get yourselves better suited to receive a visitor. I do apologize for the intrusion. The matter at hand is most urgent." Setsuna bowed and closed the doors behind her and made her way to the conference room to wait the King and Queen.
About a half-hour later, a still fuming King and Queen entered the conference room and took a seat across from Setsuna.
"As you were saying Setsuna." King Endymion began.
"Yes your majesty. This is a most urgent matter. In the past after the battle with Metallia when everyone lost their memories, the ginzuishou sealed the memories from everyone. When the Senshi were awakened the ginzuishou attempted to keep your memories, Endymion, from ‘Chiba Mamoru’. Your desire to protect Usagi when she became Sailor Moon was too much for it to contain. So your memories were separated from you and materialized into Tsukikage no knight to aid Sailor Moon and the other Senshi in battle, so that you as Chiba Mamoru could lead a normal life." Setsuna explained.
"I remember that, so why is that a problem Setsuna?" Serenity questioned.
"Unfortunately, when the King’s past self, Chiba Mamoru, was set to rejoin with his memories, Tsukikage no knight, he didn’t." Setsuna finished.
"What are you guys talking about and why don’t I remember any of this?" A now very nervous King inquired.
"Simply, that we have a bit of time to correct what has happened before the situation becomes critical. This rift has not progressed to the point of disrupting this time, yet. The key is that the events that are to follow are depending on Chiba Mamoru and Tsukino Usagi getting back together as a couple. If this does not happen, and soon, it will cause major problems in the Time Stream." Explained Setsuna.
"So what needs to be done Setsuna?" Serenity asked.
"Simply my Queen, Chiba Mamoru must awaken his own submerged memories and realize his love for you. At that point, when his memories surface, Tsukikage no knight will then rejoin with him and the rift will be repaired." Setsuna replied.
"Alright, I do have an idea to fix this situation. Only that, Setsuna I must be allowed to travel freely to the Tokyo of the past so that I can correct this." Serenity pointed out to Setsuna.
"Of course my Queen." Setsuna answered.
"Why must you do this? Why can’t I do it?" Endymion questioned.
"Simply this. Usagi has all of her memories, including those from the Silver Millenium. It will be easier for me to coach her to do what needs to be done. I will pose as her mother, Queen Serenity of the Silver Millenium. I always listened to her and I still do." Serenity explained, hinting to how she was going to get Usagi to go along with the plan that she was coming up with.* * * * * * * * * *
Natsumi was making small talk with Usagi while snacking on the pastries.
"You and I are friends, right Usagi-chan?" Natsumi smirked.
"Of course we are. Why do you ask? Is something bothering you? I am always here to listen." Usagi replied with a big smile.
"Well, you know how Seijuurou has those plants that he does research on?" Natsumi asked as she slowly worked her way over to the door that lead to the Makaiju.
Usagi nodded yes.
"Well, I never go in there because I am afraid to go in by myself. I know that if you come with me I’ll be ok." Natsumi reasoned with Usagi while steering her to the door.
"Are you sure that it will be safe?" Usagi questioned.
‘I am sure that if it is the two of us we will be ok." Natsumi encouraged.
Once they were at the door, it automatically opened and Natsumi pushed Usagi into the dark room.
Suddenly out of nowhere a cardian came out, grabbed Usagi and began to drain her energy. The Makaiju began to grow rapidly and overtook the entire apartment building.
By the time that Luna had arrived with the Senshi, the Makaiju had completely covered the building, making it almost impossible to get inside.
The Senshi and the cats battled their way into the apartment building with only Luna being injured. Once they were on the top floor, the sight before them was shocking.
A huge treelike plant with many tentacles had Usagi in one of them. Two strange looking beings floated in front of the tree and were arguing about Usagi.
"Makaiju, drain all of her energy so that Ail will quit focusing on her and not on finding life energy. Also, with her out of the way, Mamoru will be mine." Natsumi added.
"No Ann…" Ail began but was cut off by the Senshi.
"No way! We won’t let you hurt Usagi!" The Senshi declared and went into their respective introductions.
Ail and Ann began throwing attacks at the Senshi, oblivious to the fact that the Makaiju had let go of Usagi.
Each Senshi parried with their own attacks, trying to buy enough time for Usagi to come to her senses and transform.
Finally, Usagi awoke and feared for her friend’s lives.
Standing up she went through her transformation sequence and threw herself in front of the attacks that Ail and Ann were throwing at the Senshi.
"Please stop this! Fighting won’t get you anywhere." Sailor Moon yelled at the two.
"No way! Usagi is Sailor Moon? How can that be?" Ail questioned aloud.
"You see, Ail. She never cared about you. I told you we can only depend on ourselves." Ann pointed out to Ail.
"You’re wrong, everyone needs friends and people who care about them. A true friend will be there and care about you unconditionally." Sailor Moon yelled, trying to make them understand.
"No, you’re wrong. You are selfish and only think about yourself." Ann accused Sailor Moon as she threw another attack at the fallen Senshi that Sailor Moon blocked.
"No, you are wrong. Sailor Moon is a wonderful and caring person who always puts protecting and saving people ahead of her fears and her own safety." Sailor Mercury yelled at the two beings.
Ann turned to send an attack at Sailor Mercury, but was stopped by a white rose at her feet.
"Who’s there?" Ann called out.
"When one truly cares for another, no matter what the obstacle, they will fight and overcome it for the sake of the other. That is true friendship and love." Tsukikage no knight pointed out to Ail and Ann.
Ail began to think about the protective deep feelings that he had for Ann and it dawned on him that he had only ever loved and cared for Ann.
Ann turned to throw an attack at Tsukikage no knight but Ail stopped her.
"I… think that they are right Ann." Ail said to Ann softly, as he touched her shoulder.
"No, I will not listen to this nonsense. They are all wrong and they are just trying to confuse you." Ann declared as she threw an attack at Tsukikage no knight, which hurled him into the trunk of the tree and he disappeared to the shock and horror of the Senshi.
Sailor Moon went to check on the others and check out her own injuries.
As Sailor Moon was concerned with the Senshi, Ann was still angry and threw another attack at them.
Ail saw this and ran to stop Ann but was too late. The energy blast went out but was stopped by one of the tree’s tentacles. The tree then swatted Ail to the ground with one tentacle and was coming at him with a spear-like tentacle.
Ann saw this and finally realized that she cared about Ail. Ann teleported to Ail and threw herself in front of the tentacle, taking the blow for Ail.
At the realization of this, Ail was terrified.
"No Ann. Oh Ann, why did you do that?" Ail asked a dying Ann as he cradled her head in his lap.
"Oh Ail, my love. I guess that I realized too late how much I love and care about you. Take care my love." Ann whispered before she died.
Another spear tentacle was coming at Ail. "Well my love, it looks as if I shall be joining you." Ail said as he hunched over top of the lifeless Ann.
"No, stop this!!" Sailor Moon yelled at the tree.
"Do you really think I should spare his life?" the Makaiju asked.
"You can speak?" Sailor Moon asked.
"Yes, now let me tell you about your past Ail." the Makaiju replied as it went into telling everyone about how it came to be and the past of Ail and Ann.
Sailor Moon felt sorrow for what the tree and what Ail and Ann had gone through as children.
"Sailor Moon, will you please heal me from all the evil and negative energy that I have in me?" the Makaiju asked.
"Of course I can." Sailor Moon replied and healed the tree with ‘princess halation’.
At the end of it, the tree was gone and they were all now on the top of the apartment building.
When the Makaiju disappeared it gave life back to Ann and left a small seedling of itself.
Ail and Ann declared that they would start over and find a planet to help the seedling grow with love energy.
Ail and Ann disappeared to find another planet.
"Well guys, just another day as a Senshi, huh?" Usagi asked.
All the girls just groaned.****************
