Silver Powers - Chapter 7 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, Lady, 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. 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 “Serenity.” A voice echoed in my head as I slept in my room on my bed. I opened my eyes and looked around the room and found no one. Endymion was asleep next me when I heard it again. “Serenity.” I was able to make out the voice. “Haruka, hold on, I’m coming.” I said as I slipped out of bed and put on my robe. I carefully opened the door and walked out, closing it as quietly as I had opened it. In the infirmary “Serenity.” Haruka said in barely a whisper as I made my way to her bedside. “Haruka, I’m here. What is it?” I asked as I held her hand. “It’s time Serenity. Please, help me.” She asked in agony. “Okay.” I said as I called on the power of my Silver Crystal. “This may hurt a little.” I said as she smiled at me. “It’s okay, let’s get this over with.” “Silver Crystal Extract!” I said in a loud whisper. The Uranus Silver Topaz Wind Crystal came forth. “Haruka, tomorrow we’ll begin you training as Silver Sailor Uranus, until then, get some sleep. I’m going to go check on everybody.” I said as I put some blankets on her and headed to everyone’s quarters for a check up. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus slept soundly. Neptune tossed and turned as did Saturn. ‘They’re restless. They know what’s coming.’ I said as I went and checked on Chibi Usa. She and Diana were curled up together on her bed. She held on fiercely to the locket her grandma had given her, and the blanket that Setsuna had made for her before her birth. ‘I must protect them all from whatever it is that’s coming. It must be some evil to bring out the Silver Powers. I wonder, will this truly be my last stand as Sailor Moon, or is Luna right when she said that Sailor Moon might get powers too? Oh well, let’s go check on Endy’ I thought as I slipped back into our bedroom. “I have to protect them at any cost.” I said out loud as a plan of action formed in my head. I kissed Mamo chan on the lips lightly and went to the war room. War Room, 2:30 a.m. “Computer, display a picture of the object discovered by Sailors Neptune and Uranus.” I said as the computer lit up and displayed the object. “Computer, has the object moved any in the last twelve hours?” I asked. “Yes, it appears to be moving toward the Earth at an alarming rate.” “Computer, how much damage would Eternal Sailor Moon be able to do to this object if it were to threaten the Earth?” I asked as several calculations ran across the screen in a blur. “Minimal damages. The Silver Senshi would easily do five times more damage than Eternal Moon.” “Damn. Thank you computer.” “Having a late night Serenity?” a voice asked from behind me. “Who are you? Show yourself!” I said in both annoyance and fear. “I’m surprised you don’t recognize me. I will have your pitiful planet and I will kill your Senshi and your family!” the voice said in mockery. ‘Colindarn’ I thought to myself as the hologram appeared in front of me. “Don’t look so surprised Serenity.” He mocked me. “Get out of my palace.” I said as nicely as I could. “Or what? You unleash your pathetic Senshi on me? They are nothing compared to me and my power. Even your precious Sailor Moon couldn’t defeat me. But then again, she won’t be around much longer anyway, will she?” he asked. “That is none of your business. What do you want with my planet?” I asked in anger. “The same thing I wanted in the Silver Millennium. You, the Silver Crystal, and control of the Universe.” “Well, if I remember correctly, you didn’t get it then, and you certainly won’t get it now.” “I wouldn’t be so quick to say that Serenity. I have my ways, but then again, I could just threaten the pink-haired rabbit down the hall. Reenie, that’s her name. She takes after her mother greatly.” “You leave my daughter out of this! People have tried to hurt her before and have never succeeded. You won’t either.” “Better hurry Serenity, Neptune’s next!” he said as he disappeared, leaving me to weep to myself. ‘I will take care of him if it’s the last thing I do’ I said a I rushed out of the war room. I went into the throne room and looked around. ‘This may be the last time I come in here’ I thought as I memorized each detail of my throne room. “Serenity, my dear daughter, what’s all the commotion?” my mother asked as she appeared before me. “Colindarn.” I said flatly. “Are you sure?” she asked. “YES! He threatened my planet, my people, my Senshi and family! He is going to strike soon and the Senshi are barely at half strength as we speak! Mother, what am I going to do?” I asked as I collapsed to the floor crying as the lights in the throne room came on and my Senshi, Pluto and Uranus included, stood in the doorway with Chibi Usa and Endymion. “Serenity, what’s all the commotion?” Mars asked as she sat next to me. “Nothing. I was sleep walking and I crashed into something.” I lied to them. Mars and Pluto saw right through it. “Then why is your mother standing here?” Mars asked. I hadn’t noticed mother still there. “Serenity, tell the truth, and I don’t want you thinking for a second you’re going to take him one on one. He could kill you.” Mother scolded as everyone stood there gapping at me. “He will not kill me. He will not kill my family and friends. He will not kill my people. He will not take over my universe. And would you like to know why, because I won’t let him! Never! He will not defeat me! I will not let him disturb the peace!” I screamed as everyone stared at me. “And if none of you will help me, I will take him on by myself! The Senshi have never had to face him, not even in the Silver Millennium, but I have! I beat him back once, when I was merely a princess! I will keep him from hurting anyone else! He killed my father, or have you forgotten that! He’s threaten my daughter! He’s threatened my husband and my friends! I will not sit idly by and let him do to them what he did to my father!” I screamed as I rushed from the room and to my bedroom. “What just happened here?” Jupiter asked as Endy rushed after me and Mother explained to them what had happened. In my bedroom “Serenity, where are you?” Endy asked as he looked around our room. I stood on the balcony looking at the city below. “Endy, I must go away from here.” I said as he looked at me in terror. “Why?” he asked, barely breathing, waiting for my answer. “Because. I have put all of you in danger. I will leave a crystal, much like the Silver Crystal, for Chibi Usa to use on Neptune, Saturn and Pluto when they’re times come to receive their Silver Powers. Endy, please don’t ask anymore questions. Just remember, I love you all very much.” I said as I walked back into our room and changed. “Serenity, you are the queen of Crystal Tokyo! You can’t leave it so easily.” He reasoned. “And if I don’t, there won’t be a Crystal Tokyo, or an Earth for that matter, left to be queen over. I have to protect you all. Please, Endy, I’ll return when it’s time to. Sailor Moon must be at full strength to take him on.” “NO! I will not sit here and watch my wife, my love, my soul mate walk out of this palace determined to kill herself to save everyone else!” he screamed at me. “What is my life compared to those of everyone on this planet, or in this universe? Endy, I have given my life before for the people I protect. I will do it again if need be. I have taught Chibi Usa all she needs to know. You and the others can teach her where I can’t. She’ll be a great ruler, just like her grandmas. She will learn from her father. Mamo chan, I must keep you all safe. I want you to know something before I leave.” “What?” he asked angrily. “You’re going to receive Silver Powers just like the others, and I love you.” I said as I put the Silver Crystal into my Eternal Moon broach and left our room. “Serenity! NOOOOOO!” he yelled. It was the last time that I heard his voice for quite a while. Sailor Uranus’ Quarters “Haruka. Haruka.” “Mother? Is that you?” “Princess Haruka of Uranus, Sailor Uranus, Commander of the Moon Princess’ Outer Guard, it is time for you to learn of your silver powers. Sailor Uranus, come with me.” The Queen of Uranus said as Haruka fell into a deep sleep. “Where are we?” Haruka asked. “We are on Uranus, in the Royal Palace where you grew up. Sailor Uranus, do you understand what’s going on?” “Not really.” “Well, the Silver Powers are the ultimate level for a Sailor Senshi. Your Silver Powers can only be surpassed by the powers you will receive as the Queen of Uranus. That too, is coming before too long. Neo Queen Serenity hasn’t told you what you need to know. Haruka, she is experiencing an inner turmoil. She wants to help all of you and protect you but she is also jealous of all of you. You have one new attack and your transformation is new. To do the transformation shout ‘Silver Uranus Crystal Power’ and to do the attack shout ‘Silver Topaz Wind Blow’. The Topaz Crystal will serve you well. Now, all your attacks as Sailor Uranus and Super Sailor Uranus have been power boosted. They are much stronger now and you can use all of them as Silver Sailor Uranus.” “That’s great. I can really kick some butt now.” “Uranus, be careful. The Neo Queen is going through a rough time now and there is going to come a time when you must protect her…” “I do that now…” “I know that. But Haruka, you must not only protect her, but be there for her. She needs you now, more than ever.” “Is there anyway to save Sailor Moon?” “I can’t tell you if there is or not…” “But you do know, don’t you?” “Yes, I do. Sailor Moon’s guardians are the only ones who know for sure or not, really.” “Guardians, I thought we each only had one?” “You do, but Serenity also has Endymion’s mother looking out for her.” “Oh.” “Haruka, it’s time to go back. Be strong, remember I love you, and take pride in you role as the Outer Leader.” “I love you too mother.” Haruka said as she woke up. “Sernity, I’ll always be here for you.” Let me know what you think.
