Silver Powers - Chapter 3 Thanks to A Sailor Moon Romance for posting all my stories. Mayo Chan for all the support and encouragement. Thanks to some special authors for their inspiration: Danielle, Mark Berger, Alicia Blade, Lilac Summer, Marianne Cabe, Chris Davies, and many more. I don’t own Sailor Moon. Please don’t sue me, I have no money. I do own the characters and the powers I introduce in this story are mine. All the Silver powers and the four moon generals as well as most of Cape Boy’s powers and all of the Prince’s guards’ powers are mine. Also, in this, even though Serena hasn’t been Sailor Moon since before Reenie was born, she still has the power to be Sailor Moon. Enjoy the show! Usagi Carter On The Royal Balcony The next day “So, who do you think will be next?” Endymion asked me as we sat on our balcony. “I’m not sure. The powers don’t seem to be going in order by planet. Maybe they’re going to go in order by who became a scout. Oh, I don’t know! This entire situation has confused me to no end. Endy, with each passing day, my time as a Senshi grows shorter. I’m not sure what’s going to happen. I have no answers to the questions asked of me. I need to talk to my mother again. I’ll be in the Crystal Chamber, if anyone needs me.” I said as I got and headed to the Crystal Chamber. “Mother, I need you.” I said as I sat and meditated in front of the Silver Crystal. “Serenity, I’m here. What’s wrong?” “Mother, who’s next? Please, I need to know.” “As far as I can tell, Sailor Mercury is next, possibly followed by Mars or Jupiter. Serenity, as each of your Senshi will gain powers, Endymion will too.” “So, I’m only going to be the only one who isn’t going to get Silver Powers?” I asked as jealous tears streaked my face, which was unusual for me of all people. “Serenity, you must have Tuxedo Mask around to protect you, ne?” “But what about Sailor Moon? I can protect myself! I want to remain Sailor Moon!” I screamed. Not once did my mother cringe during my fit. “Serenity, my sweet daughter, as a queen, you do not always get the things you want. You have a duty to the people of this planet and solar system that the Senshi and Endymion do not. Do you understand? If by doing that duty justice means leaving behind Sailor Moon…” “I have to do it. I know this already, but mother, as I see it, I don’t have to give up being Sailor Moon. I just don’t get why fate has done this?” “It’s not just fate, but destiny as well. But remember we also have a say-so in our destiny to some extent. Now, you must prepare for the next coming of silver. Be careful Serenity, many challenges still lie a head.” “I love you mother, and thank you.” “Your welcome, good bye.” In the infirmary “Sailor Mercury, Amy, can you hear me?” Saturn asked. “Serenity. Need Serenity.” Amy whispered. “Mars, find her Majesty and notify her of what’s happening.” Venus said as I walked into the room. “There is no need. I already know. Saturn, how is she?” I asked as I sat next to Sailor Mercury. “Same as Venus was this time two days ago.” “Mercury, concentrate as hard as you can on your crystal. Please, Amy if you want to help me, you have to concentrate.” I said as I concentrated on the Silver crystal and Amy slammed her eyes shut and squeezed as hard as she could. “Serenity! It hurts!” Amy said in agony. “I know it does Amy, but keep going. You’re doing great.” “AHHHHHH!” Amy screamed in pain. “Silver Crystal Extract!” I screamed as Amy glowed a silvery turquoise. “Sailor Mercury, I present you with your birthright.” I said as Amy fell asleep. “Is she okay?” Mars asked me. “Yes. She just needs some sleep. Mars as soon as she wakes up, if she’s ready, send her to the library.” I said as I left. “Everything will work out Serenity. I promise.” She whispered as I left. “I hope you’re right Mars.” I whispered under my breath. 1 hour later “Queen Serenity! Come quick! It’s Sailor Mars!” Paige said as she rushed into the library. “Oh Kami Sama! What next?” I asked as I rushed to the infirmary. “Serenity!” Mars screamed. “Raye, hold on.” I said as I sat next to her. “Haruka, Lita, please hold her down! I can’t do this with her thrashing about like this.” “Serenity!” Raye screamed. “Raye, listen to me Mars! You have to calm down and concentrate!” I said as I prepared to extract the Mars Silver Crystal. “Kami Sama! This is going to take a while! I can’t even get to her crystal! Mercury, give her something to sedate her for a while, and then meet me in the Library.” I said as I left Mars’ side and Mercury administered the drug to her and followed me to the library. In the library “Serenity, what do I do?” mercury asked as I uncovered the Mercury Silver Turquoise Ice Crystal. “Mercury, take the crystal and concentrate on it’s power.” I said. “I know its powerful, just concentrate on it.” After a few moments I broke the silence. “Mercury, let’s go to the training grounds and work on your powers.” In the training grounds “Like Venus, I only know of your transformation call and one power. Now, you’ll be getting a visit from your planetary guardian before long, but until then, let’s work on your powers. To transform into Silver Sailor Mercury, call out ‘Silver Mercury Crystal Power’.” I said as Mercury took the crystal and pointed it upward. “SILVER MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!” she called out. She was engulfed in a silvery turquoise. “Mercury, your crystal is the Turquoise Ice Crystal. Your one attack I know of is the Silver Turquoise Ice Freeze. To do it, just call out that exact phrase.” I said as she pointed the crystal at a tree. “SILVER TURQUOISE ICE FREEZE!” she screamed as tiny silvery turquoise icicles shot out toward the tree, and then made the tree explode. “Nice job.” I said. “That was interesting Serenity.” “It certainly was. Mercury, go ahead and go to your quarters and meditate for a while. I’m sure your guardian would like to speak to you." I said as she powered down and went to her quarters. “Two down, seven to go.” I said as I went inside to check on Sailor Mars. In Mercury’s Quarters “Amy. Amy.” “Mother? Is that you?” “Princess Amy of Mercury, Sailor Mercury, Fourth in command of the Moon Princess’ Inner Guard, it is time for you to learn of your silver powers. Sailor Mercury, come with me.” The Queen of Mercury said as Amy fell into a deep sleep. “Where are we?” Amy asked. “We are on Mercury, in the Royal Palace where you grew up. Sailor Mercury, do you understand what’s going on?” “Yes and no.” “Well, this is the ultimate level for a Sailor Senshi. Your Silver Powers can only be surpassed by the powers you will receive as the Queen of Mercury. That too, is coming before too long. Neo Queen Serenity has already told you basically what you need to know. What she didn't tell you, cause she didn’t know, is that all your attacks as Sailor Mercury and Super Sailor Mercury have been power boosted. They are much stronger now and you can use all of them as Silver Sailor Mercury.” “Interesting?” “Yes, it is.” “Mother, what about Sailor Moon? What will happen to her?” “Sailor Moon will be visited by several people before too long. Amy, she’ll be all right, but there’s something I must inform you of. There’s going to be a time, possibly during battle, when all will not seem well with the young Neo Queen. Do not worry about her Mercury, she will be fine. You must keep doing what you’ve always done, when this happens…” “What’s that Mother?” “Protect her Amy, you must continue to protect her. She will be the key to everything going on now, just as she always has been. Be there for her no matter what Amy. My dear daughter, it’s time to go back. Amy, remember I love you.” “I love you too Mother.” Amy said as she awoke. “Serenity, Serena, my dear friend, everything will be all right. I can feel it.” Cliffhanger, sorry.
