Knight of the

Chapter 1
--Just after Ranma destroys the top of Phoenix Mountain--
Sailor Pluto was calmly guarding the time gate as she usually did. Guarding time so that others wouldn’t try to change to natural course of time. Just as she as about to relax for the evening and go home, a tingling feeling ran down her neck, a sign that time is being changed. Quick to see if the future is changed, she looked into the future. What she saw surprised her, Crystal Tokyo was still there. Nothing was missing, the King, Queen, and the Sailor Senshi were all there, yet she was still uneasy by the feeling that she just had. Not seeing anything wrong, Sailor Pluto teleported back to the Ten’ou residents where she was staying. If she had continued watching, she might had noticed a man in white armor with an old symbol on his cape and chest plate come up to the group as Sailor Saturn ran up and jumped into the person’s awaiting arms, while the others smiled as two people, once separate, were once rejoined.
--2 years later, about 3 ½ weeks left before school is over for break--
Night has fallen over Tokyo signaling the end of another day. Families have finished their dinners and are spending time with one another, like all families do. But over in Nerima Ward, there is a family that is anything but normal and not everyone is spending time with one another. One person is missing after having a sudden departure via mallet.
Kasumi Tendo hummed happily as she finished cleaning
all the dishes from the last dinner.
Turning around, Kasumi held a radioactive container as she meticulously
punched a specified code on a panel that was installed on a new addition of the
kitchen. Hearing the audible beep, the
door to the room suddenly started to swing open on it’s own. As the door opened, Kasumi smiled warmly as
the six-inch reinforced steel safe opened quietly. When it was completely open, Kasumi slipped in as she started
looking over all the other containers marked with either a radioactive symbol
or a biohazard symbol, trying to find a place for the newest addition to the
collection. Finding a place, Kasumi
left the bomb proof and radioactive protected storage shed and tapped another
button on the panel, which closed and locked the door.
Kasumi turned to the stove and put on a kettle of
water, knowing that Ranma would need it when he arrived home. Then, with professionalism, she covered the
food she set aside for him and placed it in the fridge, keeping it fresh. Her smile never left her face as she left
the kitchen as she took note of where everyone was. Akane was up in her room, finishing homework and Nabiki was on
the couch, watching the news; there apparently was another monster attack in
Juuban Ward. Finally, Soun and Genma
were trying to cheat each other at shogi, both doing a terrible job. Kasumi fetched the two men some drinks,
knowing that they would be looking for something soon. After bringing them the drinks, Kasumi sat
down and started planning out the meals for tomorrow.
Just as she was about to start thinking what to have
for dinner tomorrow, she heard the front door open. Getting up, Kasumi went over and saw Ranma, now a girl walking
in, her head hung down, “Hello Ranma-kun.
There is hot water for you on the stove and I set aside food for
you. I’ll heat it up for you.”
Ranma just stood there and stared at Kasumi for a
moment, watching her face. His
subconscious kept nagging at him that something was wrong. Shaking her head and smiling, “Thanks
Kasumi, I would appreciate it.” Kasumi
nodded as she left for the kitchen.
Ranma then walked into the dining room and sat down, not bothering to
say anything to his father. When Kasumi
came in, she set the kettle beside him and the plate of food in front of him.
Ranma took the kettle and silently poured it over
his head, becoming a man again. Setting
it down, he silently started eating, at a normal pace. Why can’t Akane cook like this? Ranma took some more bites. I didn’t mean to insult her cooking, I was
just telling the truth. If I lied she
would have tried it and instantly died from it. But then there is her temper.
Does she like being angry at everything? Even the smallest thing I do will set her off. I’m at the end of my rope and I don’t know
how much longer I can go on.
Ranma finished his dinner with that thought and got
up and took his dishes into the kitchen.
He then noticed Kasumi getting up, “Don’t worry about it Kasumi, I’ll
take care of these dishes. Thanks again
for everything.” As he said that, he
noticed a small change about Kasumi.
Ranma still didn’t know what he kept noticing. When she was getting up, she didn’t seem happy but it changed to
relief when he said he would take care of the dishes. But Kasumi always seems to be happy.
Ranma put the dishes away after making sure they
were clean and touched up the kitchen before leaving. “I’ll see you in the morning everyone,” Ranma called. Getting “Goodnights from those downstairs,
Ranma left for his room. There, he
grabbed his blanket and pillow and jumped up to the roof. ; The weather was forecasted for a clear
night; zero chance for rain.
Lying down on his blanket, Ranma enjoyed the warm
breeze as he watched the night sky.
Following his tradition, from all the nights gazing from his training
trip, Ranma started identifying all the constellations in the night sky,
viewable in the spring. Finished, Ranma
then gazed at the moon as his thoughts started trying to go over what could be
wrong with Kasumi. He didn’t understand
it, she seemed happy and enjoyed doing the housework. But what he saw tonight made him rethink it. He was still trying to understand it when he
finally dozed off with the moon over his head as a shooting star passed by.
In the Juuban Ward, another person was staring at
the same night sky, going over her thoughts.
She saw the shooting star and just sighed to herself. Hotaru Tomoe, aka Sailor Saturn, was resting
under the night sky. She and her
guardians, Haruka Ten'ou, Michuri Kaiou, and Setsuna Meiou, aka Sailor Uranus,
Sailor Neptune, and Sailor Pluto respectively, had finished defeating another
monster that had invaded the city. It
was a little more difficult for the other scouts to handle, so they were called
in to help. When they got there, they
noticed that the monster wasn’t very powerful but it didn’t sit still long
enough to give anyone time to hit it, yet it was able to get in several hits on
the other scouts, using its speed to its best advantage. It even took advantage of the scouts lengthy
attack sequence to get a few more hits in and disrupting their attack. Sailor Moon especially was battered since
her attacks took the longest. Tuxedo
Mask hadn’t been much help when he arrived.
Starting his speech after sticking the monster with one of his roses
like he usually did, he was repeatedly hit all over from the monster as it took
advantage of the lowered guard while he talked.
Since Neptune and Uranus had quicker attacks, they
were able to corral the monster enough for Saturn to set up a barrier wall to
allow Sailor Moon to fully power-up. On
the other side, the rest of the scouts were slowly beginning to get hits in as
they covered on another as the other was powering their attacks. When Sailor Moon was ready, Saturn dropped
the wall, just as the monster was hit on both sides by a deep submerge and a
world shaking, stunning it for Sailor Moon to hit it fully and destroying the
monster.
Now, they were all home, healing up from the battle,
agreeing to meet tomorrow to talk about the latest monster. But something was bothering her as she
thought about the monster. The way it
moved reminded her a lot about someone back in the Silver Millennium. Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted when
she sensed that someone was standing next to her. Looking to her right, she saw an older woman with long green hair
and green eyes looking at her questioningly.
“Is something wrong Hotaru?” Setsuna asked, sitting down next to the
child.
Shaking her head, “No Setsuna, not really. I was just trying to remember someone from
back in the Silver Millennium. The way
the monster moved reminded me about someone I once knew, and I can’t seem to
remember who it was.” Hotaru looked
back up to the sky and stared at the moon again.
Setsuna listened to what Hotaru said and thought
about what she said as she gazed at the moon with her. She too, couldn’t help figure out why the
movements of the monster bothered her.
She at first thought it was the fact that it was attacking them smartly,
not allowing them to use magic by attacking during their power up and dodging
before the attack could hit. Now that
Hotaru was feeling the same thing, she was a little worried what this could
mean for the future. When she tried
looking ahead, her future self stopped her saying only one sentence, “It’s a
secret,” and left with the same silly grin that the character Xellos had after
saying that line.
“Well, I’m sure a smart girl like yourself will
figure it out eventually. Come on,
Haruka and Michuri have been wondering where you’ve been,” Setsuna got up and
held out her hand, which Hotaru accepted as they walked back home
together. Back at the house, Hotaru
decided to turn in for school tomorrow.
Her guardians watched her go up stairs with concerned glances from the
living room as Setsuna sat down in another chair staring at them. “The last monster stirred some memories and
she is having trouble trying to figure them out,” Setsuna answered before they
could ask.
“What?” the two chorused.
“How could the monster we fought tonight break free
memories from the Silver Millennium?” Haruka asked.
“Don’t know but they did. Something about the way it moved and fought, I think.”
“The way it moved and fought?” Michuri asked,
disbelieving.
“Well, for once the monster fought smartly. It knew what it could and couldn’t do. When we tried to power up our magic attacks,
it moved in and disrupted it then jumped away before someone could hit it. You should know Haruka, you are the best
regular fighter of the scouts yet you had trouble.”
“That true.
The thing moved faster than anything we’ve fought before. It seemed to dance around us. We were lucky to restrict its movements some
by getting it in the empty warehouse.”
“Yes, but what does this mean? Is there another enemy that is going to
appear?”
“I… I don’t know,” Setsuna said quietly. Haruka and Michuri were wide eyed. It was rare that Setsuna wouldn’t know if
something minor would be happening, but it was unheard of if she didn’t know if
another enemy was going to appear. “Before
you ask, I was blocked by my future self.
I can only assume from past experience that yes, another enemy is
approaching. Who though, I couldn’t
tell you except that the enemy might know the scouts very well.” It was quiet as they thought that possibility
over. If the enemy knew the scouts
well, then tactics might have to be changed to gain an advantage. “Let’s get some sleep. The monster took more out of us than we
realized. You two have school and I
have to get to work tomorrow.”
--The Silver Millennium--
In the royal capital of Saturn, Skye, people were
generally going about their business.
At the center, not too far from the royal palace though, the Saturn
Military Academy, one of the best in military strategy and producing soldiers
and the best in training healers, was busy with activity as it was graduation
day for the latest group of graduates.
The coliseum was filled to capacity with teary parents as they came all
over the planet or Solar System to see their children graduate. Attending as they usually do was the King
and Queen of Saturn. Though this time,
they are among the teary eyed parents.
Today, their son and daughter were graduating from the Academy. Logan and Elaine Somerled, twins and
children of the King and Queen.
“Will the graduates of SM 1.02 please rise,” the
dean of the academy announced. Quickly,
all the graduates that were seated on the ground floor rose and waited for the
announcement. “It is my privilege and
honor, to present to you, people of Saturn, the Class of SM 1.02.” A roaring cheer and applause echoed through
the coliseum as they all rose to their feet.
The graduates, following a tradition tossed their hats high into the air
in celebration.
Back at the palace, a party was being held for the
graduates as was also normal. It was
able for people to meet the graduates and possible get the work that they
wanted whether you were going to sign up with a royal army or find a known
healer to learn under, or not.
Currently, the party was broken up into two groups, the adults and the
graduates. Within the graduates, it was
broken down again into two main groups, the men and the women. Both though were centered on the main
attraction of that group, Logan with the men and Elaine with the women, still
dressed in their formal military academy uniforms. Both groups curious as what the children of the King and Queen
were going to do.
“So Logan,” a graduate asked, holding a glass of
wine. “What are you hoping to do?”
The man known as Logan smiled as he took a sip from
his wine. He was about six feet tall,
not too brawny with broad shoulders.
His hair was jet black and cut short giving him an appearance of a drill
sergeant, yet the image was destroyed looking into his calm light blue
eyes. “I’ve already been accepted for
training as a knight.”
“Really?”
“What planet?
Saturn?
“When did this happen?”
Logan held his hands up to silence the group as they
started asking all at once. “Slow down
guys, I can perfectly able to answer your questions, but I can’t when they are
asked at once. To answer your
questions, from those I could understand from everyone else’s I was accepted
shortly before graduation. I was able
to get an early review so I can go to the planets training center shortly after
graduation. As for which planetary
knights, none.”
Everyone was silent at that statement. They didn’t understand, he said he was
accepted but every planet had knights.
Suddenly, recognition dawned on one of them. “You mean?”
“I don’t want to boast, but yeah. I was accepted to become a Planetary Knight
of the Moon.” Those that finally
understood gasped. “Just so you know, I
tried to join the Saturn Knights. But
the damn reviewer thought I had better potential and shoved me in front of a
reviewer from the moon that he knew.”
“Congratulations Logan. We always knew you had the potential, but never that much.”
Logan smiled at his group of friends before
him. “Thanks for the support guys.”
“What’s your sister going to do? Any ideas?”
“Well, since you asked, she wants to be a
healer. Under who, she isn’t sure yet,
though there are plenty of people that want to teach her. I have a feeling it will be under one of the
Profs from the academy. They are the
best and that would be the ones to go for.”
“That’s true…” he was interrupted as the Logan’s
father, the King, broke from the group to talk to everyone.
“Welcome new graduates. I have to say it is an honor to meet you. Though we do this every year for the
graduates, it means even more to us to have our son and daughter being among you. Now, this is supposed to be a party and
celebration. Not a talking gallery,
maestro, if you would. Soon, a lively
tune started up from the orchestra that was in a large balcony. Soon the groups dispersed as the couples
took to the dance floor.
“So Ella,” Logan asked his sister later that
night. The party had ended and everyone
was going home by own power or others as they were unable to from drinking too
much or already asleep, or both. “Have
you decided where you are going to go yet?”
The woman in question turned to face her bother. She had light purple eyes and dark purple
hair, almost black, which reached about mid-back.
“Don’t call me that Logan. You know I don’t like that nickname. If you don’t I’ll just have to let all those women know where you
are going to be in a few days. The
result would be a mad dash to see their favorite person before he goes,” she
smiled nicely; too nicely.
“No, please.
I’m sorry. I won’t be able to
leave the palace or even my room until then.
I noticed that they didn’t take it too well when you told them,” Logan
recalled to all the dances he had to go through with their lustful stares.
“I see. It
almost resulted in creating a ballroom swimming party from the tears that were
about to burst in them. I don’t know
what you did to them, but they have it BAD for you brother. In fact, I noticed that your eye’s lingered
a little longer on a couple of them than normal.
A blush came to his face and decided to fight fire
with fire. “I’m not the only one. The guys were just as bad looking at
you. I had to have a couple servants
place a few spittoons out for all the drool.
Plus, you’re eyes lingered as well sis.” She returned the blush as they both said, “And we both know what
they wanted.” Soon they broke out
laughing as they transcended the stairs to their rooms for the night.
--Four years later--
The royal family of Saturn was again watching the
commander congratulate the newest Knights of the Moon into their ranks. Everyone one that was involved with the moon
was there this time. Each planet King
and Queen was in attendance. Queen
Serenity and her Sailor Senshi were there to congratulate the new knights.
Elaine
smiled at her twin brother as he stood there ramrod straight, with his sword,
the weapon of all knights, attached to his hip. She knew how hard he worked for this, though all he wanted was to
be a Knight of Saturn. His hard work
paid off a little too much as he was redirected to the moon. She knew he didn’t mind, in fact, from what
he told her. He is put in a better
place to try to help people. She
herself was already helping many people as a healer of Saturn. She had finally accepted to learn under an
Academy Professor that she enjoyed learning under and was already employed as a
healer with Saturn’s Royal Healers.
Going throughout the solar system, helping those that are in need. Her thoughts were then brought to the end of
the ceremony.
“You are about to join an elite rank of
Knights. You came here because you are
the best of the best. Earlier today,
Queen Serenity granted each of you the power of the Knight with the power of
the Silver Crystal and it is time for you to join those ranks. Now, it is my please to present to you,
Queen Serenity, your newest knights.
“Knight Guard Power!”
All the new knights raised their weapons into the
air and shouted, “Knight Guard Power!”
The area was covered in a blinding light as the knights gained access to
their powers for the first time. When
the light diminished, everyone gasped at the sight before them. 100 men and women were dressed in white
armor that covered their chest, upper arms, and legs (very similar to the Parns
armor from Record of Lodoss) allowing the most protection for the most
movement. Attached to the shoulders was
a white cape with a black boarder. A
crown with a sword, pointing downwards, intersected it with the crescent moon,
placed just above the hilt, was seen in the center of the cape and on the
breastplate; the crest of the Knight’s of the Moon. Like on Saturn, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers.
--A few years later--
Elaine was sitting alone on the outside veranda at
another party that was on the moon as she gazed up to the Planet Earth. The party wasn’t anything special, but now
that she was Sailor Saturn, it was required that the Sailor Scouts attend certain
parties and this was one of them. It
happened about a year after her brother became a knight when the sigil of
Saturn appeared on her brow. Realizing
that this would allow her to have greater healing powers, she accepted the
position. Shortly after though, people
started to distance themselves from her.
It took her a while to fully understand why. They feared the power that Sailor Saturn had and the prophecies
that came with it. The power to destroy
planets was in her hands and she was soon known as the Bringer of Death,
something that she was never known as before Sailor Saturn. The prophecy wasn’t any better that Sailor
Saturn would only appear when need for her was near and it only added to her
being known as the Bringer of Death.
She was so depressed that she never sensed the person come up behind
her, “Elaine, you ok sis.” Twirling
around, Elaine saw the one person she never expected to see here, her brother.
She grabbed him and silently cried into his
shoulder, slowly getting his uniform wet.
Unsure what else to do, he hugged back, rubbing her back to calm her
down. After a few moments, Elaine was
able to look back at her brother and didn’t find pity, which she hated from
everyone else, but unconditional love and support from her brother. “Thanks.
I needed that.” Elaine spent a
couple minutes composing herself to hide her tears. “What are you doing here though?
Aren’t you supposed to be on the system edge?”
Logan smiled at his twin sister lovingly, “Just got
rotated back for a couple weeks and I figured you could use support. Mother and Father send their support as
well, even though they don’t seem to show it very well. They seem to hardly talk about you.” Elaine silently nodded hearing this. It was some relief to know that her parents
cared, but they still didn’t show it.
It seemed that the only one not afraid of her was her brother. “I’m sorry you have…”
“Don’t say it brother,” Elaine interrupted him. “I don’t want any pity, especially from
you. The people fear Saturn’s power and
overlook the help that she does for the people. It is my job to bring that part of Saturn out to the open.
--1 year later--
Sailor Saturn was running through the rubble of a
war zone with the rest of the sailor scouts, including Uranus, Neptune, and
Pluto. Bodies laid everywhere and they
tried to help as many as they could, but that was not their objective. The Knights of the Moon had a patrol going
through this sector when they were suddenly attacked. Caught off guard, all the patrol was able to do was send a
distress call. Quickly, the Knights in
the area converged and engaged the enemy.
The knights put up a good fight for the residents to escape but they
were being taken out too quickly.
Noticing this, the commander called for assistance and the Queen sent
the Sailor Scouts, hoping for the best.
They were too late. Hundreds of
knights and residents were dead from the assault.
Sailor Saturn was in shock. She had seen plenty of dead bodies before,
she was from Saturn, but what she saw made her stomach queasy. Residents and Knights were strung up on
posts or rope as they were apparently sacrificed, savagely. In the center of the destruction though, it
appeared that a whirlwind of death came through as mostly the enemies were
fried crispy or sliced then fried.
Over the silence, the scouts heard someone
whimpering. Mercury reactivated her
visor and found that someone was still alive, barely. Rushing over, the scouts found the position and started to unbury
the survivor from the rubble. What they
found shocked them; brining Saturn’s to see what surprised them.
What she saw brought tears to her eyes. Her brother was bleeding profusely from his
wounds as he quietly cried, his tears mixing with his blood. Holding back her tears, Saturn knelt down
and healed her brother so they could move him out of the rubble. When he was laid down, Saturn finished the
healing and grabbed him in a hug, returning the support he gave her a year ago
when she needed it.
When Logan was more composed he told them what
happened. They arrived shortly after
the first call came in. When they
arrived, the people were already in trouble and the Knights tried to stop
it. Slowly, they were being taken out
as they were getting exhausted but the enemy kept coming. Near the end, it was the command squad that
was left, including Logan. As they
tried to escape though, they were ambushed again and their commander and half
the squad were taken out. Taking
command, the few remaining decided to turn and fight to the end and jumped back
in. It wasn’t long before Logan saw the
remaining knights be taken out by numbers.
He then froze when he saw what they were doing: bloody sacrifices to
some person or being and it triggered something in him from what he remembered. When he woke up he was alone and under the
rubble, bleeding and dying and that’s when they found him.
Trying to determine what happened, Mercury’s
computer found something, “Oh my!”
“What is it Mercury?” Mars asked, wondering what
startled her fellow scout.
“There is an overwhelming power residue in this area
and from my readings, its Sir Logan’s.”
Everyone was silent for a few moments when Uranus
stated that they should report back.
Using the Sailor Teleport, they teleported back to the Moon Palace.
Elaine was waiting for her brother outside the
Queen’s chambers. After the scouts
reported in, the Queen wanted to hear his report as well. She was very worried about him. His usual happy attitude was gone and
replaced with a shell. Her thoughts
were broken when Logan came out of her room with a solemn look. “Brother, what’s wrong?”
“Why wouldn’t she accept it back?” he muttered.
“What?” Elaine didn’t hear what he muttered.
“I’m sorry sis,” he answered back so she could hear
as he faced her.
“What for?
You haven’t done anything.” She
was really worried now.
“I know how much pride you had when you knew I was a
knight, but I’m sorry I can’t do it anymore.”
Tears were starting to break their damns, but Logan stood firm.
“What can’t you do anymore, brother? I don’t understand.”
“I can’t stand to fight anymore Elaine. I just can’t do it. I tried to have the Queen remove my powers
because I just quit the knights. But
she wouldn’t do it. I have to go now
sis.” Logan then broke away from his
sister and left her in shock. She
didn’t see him again for several years.
--8 years later--
Elaine was at another ball, but this time it was an
anniversary of the Silver Millennium.
She was dressed in a light purple dress and was standing on the
side. She gazed around and saw Princess
Serenity dancing with Prince Edmyon. She
then saw Sailor Uranus, dressed in a tux, dancing with Sailor Neptune. Pluto was near the Queen talking about
something while the other scouts were talking with others and getting a dance
from a gentleman that asked. She
sighed, hoping that someone would take notice and not care about who she was
but who the real person was.
As if answering her wish, she noticed a new person
walk in and so did everyone else. He
wasn’t dressed in the fanciest outfit to date; in fact it was the
opposite. The newcomer wore a simple
white silk shirt with black pants tied at the ankles and black slippers. In his right hand was a metal staff that he
walked around with and on his head he wore a large hat weaved from bamboo that
came over his eyes. Over his right
shoulder was a cloth that was rolled and tied at the other end.
While he seemed to be searching for someone or
something, she noticed that he had a golden emblem of a mythical dragon on his
back. People backed away from him as he
walked around when he turned around and seemed to face her and started to walk
her direction. As he walked over to
her, Elaine noticed that the stranger actually glided over as his movements
told of someone that knew martial arts, yet she didn’t sense any magic coming
from him.
“May I have this dance?” the stranger asked when he
was close enough. So surprised that a
total stranger would ask her and that she was actually asked, she didn’t
recognize the voice. Soon, they were
the only ones on the dance floor since people seemed to back away from the
total stranger and the Senshi of Destruction.
Queen Serenity smiled at the two with Pluto knowingly.
When the music ended, the stranger turned to her
again, “Thank you for this dance Princess Elaine.”
Coming down from the high, “How do you know my
name? I don’t even know who you are.”
“Everyone knows who Sailor Saturn is Princess. Sailor Saturn, the great healer who’s
healing only is second to the Queen.”
Elaine thought about that a moment and had to agree.
“That still doesn’t tell me who you are stranger.”
“Don’t you recognize my voice, or my staff?” Elaine started thinking before some
recognition started to come. “I’ll give
you a hint Ella.” Instant remembrance.
“LOGAN!” she yelled as the stranger took off the hat
revealing the short hair and light blue eyes that she knew him by. Everyone gasped as they heard about the only
knight that survived a brutal assault on the edges and then disappeared after
resigning. He was never heard from
until now. Elaine was so happy to see
her brother after so long, she hit him, “You idiot! Do you know how worried Mother and Father were when I told them
that you disappeared? Do you know how I
felt?”
Logan just held his head down, “No, but all I can
say is that I’m sorry. I needed to
leave and I knew that you would stop me or follow me if I didn’t leave
then.” Elaine listened to his apology
then grabbed his arm and dragged him outside to the veranda.
“So what happened after you left? I tried to find you, but I couldn’t find a
trail.” Elaine asked quietly. Inside
the party was quick to get going again.
“For a while I was on Earth,” Logan nodded to the
planet in the sky, “healing. From there
I left and trained under other healers as I came across them, including some on
Saturn. It was during my time on Earth
that I discovered what I did back then.”
“What happened?”
“I was trying to calm my soul. The healer I met on Earth helped me face the
evil that was plaguing me.” Logan was
silent for a few moments, “Sis, I did something that never happened to me before. I lost control. Queen Serenity doesn’t give us that much power overall. But over time as we use the power and grow
with it, it grows as well. So
theoretically, a knight can have the power equal to that of the Senshi. Not as much as you, but at least as strong
as Mercury or possibly Mars.” Elaine
gasped. She never truly understood the
importance of the knights but this answers part of it. It creates a small army of Senshi and that
alone will deter most enemies.
“You know me sis, I pick up on things ten times
faster than normal thus I grew faster than the rest and never realized it. When I lost control, I unleashed that power
and it consumed me. Friend or foe, I didn’t
recognize them. All I cared about was
taking out as many of those bastards as I could, regardless of those that got
in the way, and many people that could have been saved were taken out. To try to prevent from that ever happening
again, I started to train as a healer and have been since then.” Logan then caught a glimpse of someone
walking back inside, apparently having overheard their entire
conversation. “I’ll talk to you later
sis. There are two more people that I
need to talk to tonight.”
During that night, Logan and Queen Serenity had a
long talk, only Pluto having an idea of what they were talking about it but she
didn’t say anything. After that night,
the Senshi found themselves being assigned a trainer: Logan Somerled, Knight of
the Moon. Every day, Logan would
improve the Senshi’s abilities as far as combat or healing. Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus didn’t quite agree
with the new trainer and decided to ‘let him know’ about the situation.
It was a one sided battle, for Logan. The three Senshi were unable to touch him as
Logan danced around them. They learned
fast that he wouldn’t allow them to do magical attacks as he disrupted the
power-up as soon as they tried. Then to
make it even worse, Logan’s training as a healer meant that he could immobilize
with a touch and soon, the three Senshi were unable to move any of their arms
as Logan just smiled sweetly at them.
After that experience their opinions changed and agreed to the training.
The real surprise came when Logan was teaching
healing ideas; those interested though were Mercury, Saturn, and Pluto. He had everyone’s attention when he
performed a healing idea that was only talked about and never seen, by using
his ki or chi to heal a small cut on his arm.
Saturn thought this would be a great help for her instead of having to
rely on her healing magic. As the training
continued, the Senshi were able to put their training to use as peace continued
on.
However, as all good things, they don’t last
forever. The alarm was too late as it
struck, killing many in the first moments.
More died as they tried to prepare themselves for battle, eventually
knights and everyone that could fight started putting up a defense. But the blow had been dealt and it was only
a matter of time until the defenders fell.
The knights were the first to be taken out, only a
few were still standing as they stood with Logan protecting the Queen. Around them, the Senshi were taking hits as
they tried to prevent the inevitable and slowly, Senshi started to fall. As the Senshi fell the knights and others
attempted to take up where the other left off.
Saturn was injured, badly. She was one of the last to fall though, using the Silence Glaive
to cut down the enemy at a distance and utilizing her new training to most
effectiveness. She didn’t know what
happened to the other senshi or her brother and hoped that they were ok. She suddenly felt a large power-up and saw a
dark ball of energy flying towards her.
Unable to do anything to protect herself, she instinctively brought up
her arms.
A sudden gust of wind came out of nowhere and she
realized she wasn’t dead. Looking up,
she saw her brother, trying to block the attack with a magic shield. She could tell that he was tired and
wounded; the blood over various areas and the amount of heavy breathing he was
doing worried her.
Logan’s shield flickered but held as he turned his
head to her, “Sorry I couldn’t protect you and the others more sister. Take care of yourself Elaine.” Without warning, his shield was suddenly broken
and his body was engulfed in magical fire, killing him instantly.
“NO! BROTHER!”
Elaine yelled as she tried to get back up.
Logan’s burned body fell in front of her and she scooted up to his body,
holding his charred body close ignoring the sickening smell as tears flowed
freely. She was so distracted; she
didn’t see the second attack and fell on her brother’s chest. Soon after, a silvery white light filled the
area.
--Back in Juuban, normal time--
“NO!
BROTHER!” Hotaru screamed as she sat upright in her bed crying. Suddenly, her room was flooded with light as
Michuri and Haruka came in and held onto Hotaru lovingly as they tried to calm
her down. By the door, Setsuna was very
disturbed by what she heard. For what
she remembered, Hotaru didn’t have a brother.
If she did, he wouldn’t even be here since the Queen only sent the
Sailor Senshi forward in time. She made
a mental note to look more into the history of Saturn.

Hey
what do you think? A new story is out
and another unfinished story has been started.
I decided to try this out after reading “Lines of Destiny” and “First
Knight.” Both kick ass stories. I don’t think mine will ever be as famous,
but you never know. This is all at the
moment, all 7 pages of it, and I need to go to bed. Other chapters of this and my other works are soon to follow. I know that I have the ages the same/similar
to Lines of Destiny, but they were too good to not use for this story.
