Over the edgeSailor Moon closed her eyes when Xena prepared to stick her sword on her chest, but when Xena raised her hand the unexpected happened.
-! ! ! VENUS LOVE ME CHAIN ! ! !
An orange heart shaped chain took Xena’s hand, preventing her from hit Sailor Moon, Gabrielle jumped over a table and hitted Sailor Venus like she did with Sailor Jupiter, Mina falled to her knees, but without releasing the chain, Gabrielle hitted her on the back several times, but no avail, Xena was trying to release herself when a voice mad her react.
-STOP IT ! ! DON ‘T HURT THEM ! !
-What ? You know them ?
-Yes...no...I...I don’t know...it’s just like if I do...but I’m not sure...
Sailor Venus raised her face, it was then when Gabrielle noticed the tears that were still running on the teenager’s face, she felt bad and kneeled beside her.
-I’m sorry...I didn’t mean it...
-Re...Renee...you’re....back...
Then she falled to the floor unconscious, Gabrielle took her on her arms and noticed the incredible resemblance between Mina and her late daughter Hope, she caressed Mina’s face cleaning the tears she had.
-This is the way I would have loved to see you Hope, like a princess, a warrior princess...
-Gabrielle.
-My beautiful Hope..
-GABRIELLE ! !
-Sorry...it’s just that she reminds me of Hope...
Back in the present.- New York City, 9 :07pm, in one of the skyscrapers a dark blue gargoyle senses a disturbance in the space-time continuum, using his staff points the exact location of the disturbance : Tokyo, Japan.- He sits and watch the stars, when the sun is about to rise he makes a magic movement with his staff and disappears, minutes later he appears in his human form in Tokyo’s central park, he walks towards the place of the disturbance, Tokyo’s central hospital, he walks unnoticed until he reaches the exact place : a hallway. - At his right a door with a number on it : 245.- Something tells him that the person in that room holds the answer to the enigma.- He enters quietly and sees the patient in the bed.- A blue haired girl about 14 or 15, he notices her wrists, she tried to kill herself.- Why ? he asks himself.- He opens his hand and out of nowhere his staff appears on it.- He stands in front of her and his staff shows him the answers of his questions.- A battle, five girls, a blond one that looks to be the leader dies, the blue haired girl blames herself for it, a pink haired girl appears.- Before he can see more something breaks his concentration.- He knows who she is and what will she ask.
-Twilite- Why are you seeing this girl’s memories without her consent ?.
-I felt a disturbance in the space-time continuum, I thought she could hold the answer to this disturbance.
-You had no right.-
-She has been going through a lot of pain despite her young age.
-So you know about her double identity.
-Yes.- Please let me help her.- She needs someone to be her guide.
-You expect her to trust you after what you just did ?
- She will.
-I’ll be watching you.
Gone...like the wind.- He walks out, it’s going to be sunrise and he knows what it means.- That night he returned.- Sobs...she is crying...he opens the door and sees the girl crying, he caress her blue hair, she turns around and he can feel the pain that’s going through her.
-Who are you ?
-A friend.
She turns around and cries harder.
-I’m here to be your guide Sailor Mercury.
The girl turns around in a blink, her eyes are wide open.
-How do you know who I am ?
-I just do.- I know why are you suffering.- You must know that the death of your friend wasn’t your fault.
Tears form in her eyes.- It’s going to be hard.
-You don’t understand, I was supposed to tell her how to stop that creature and I failed...thanks to that she...she...
She breaks up in tears again.- He hugs her until she calms down, she is so tired that she falls asleep.- The sun is about to come up and he disappears.- Later that day he returns, something is wrong.- The girl is gone.- They are looking for her but he knows exactly were to find her.- Serenity Park, a peaceful place outside of the city.- Three years ago the place was the scenario of a cruel battle between the Sailor Scouts and the monster known as Doomsday, it was the day when Sailor Moon died, by request of Tuxedo Mask and the Sailor Scouts the place got the name it has today.- He walks through it, finally he sees her sitted on a bench and looking at the stars.- He sits beside her.
-I knew you were going to go back here.
-How do you know everything I do ?
She is calmed this time.- The moment of telling her some things has come.
-Two days ago I came here to find the source of a space-time continuum disturbance and I founded you, then I used my powers to read your memories.- I know that you always come here since the day Serena died.
No answer.- She only glares at him, then she decides to tell him something.
-Please...Don’t call me Sailor Mercury anymore.
-Why ?
-Because I...I...quitted...
Before she can say another word a hand slaps her face, she looks up and Sailor Pluto is in front of her.
-WHO AR E YOU AND HOW YOU DARE TO DO THAT ? ?
-Pluto stop it.
-DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO TWILITE ! ! ! HER FRIENDS ARE IN RISK IN THE PAST AND SHE IS JUST QUITTING ! ! !
-SO WHAT ? ? IT’S MY LIFE AND I DO WITH IT WHA...
Another slap, this time in the other side of the face, Pluto throws her a book.
-READ THIS ! ! YOU SAY YOU LIKE HISTORY THEN READ THE PAGE 234 OF THE BOOK.
The blue haired girl took the book and readed the page.
"....Xena was famous for her continuos struggle against evil, unfortunately it all came to an end when she killed four young girls in store of Tebas, she claimed it was on self defense but there was no proof of it, after her execution her daughter who’s origins were unknown continued the legend, she was known for her particular pink hair..."
Following the text there was an ancient drawing of the victims, all of them were wearing short miniskirts and tiaras on her foreheads, more than enough to identify them.- She dropped the book and falled to her knees.
-NO ! ! NO ! ! NO ! ! YOU’RE MAKING THIS UP ! ! IT’S ALL A LIE ! ! !
Sailor Pluto took her by her blouse and slammed her against a wall.
-HEAR ME WELL AMI MIZUNO ! ! IF YOU QUIT THEN YOU WILL BE REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF SOMEONE ! ! I LET THE NEO-QUEEN SERENITY DIE AND I DON’T INTEND TO SEE THE LITTLE LADY DIE TOO OR BECOME A BUTCHER WARRIOR IN THE PAST ! ! ! YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ? ?
-ENOUGH ! ! !
-Don’t interfere Twilite.
He separated the girl from the woman.
-The girl is scared and confused and you’re making it worse.- Leave her alone, with this attitude of yours we will win nothing.
While they discuss Ami runned away.
-See ? She runned away.
-You don’t understand Twilight, three years ago I failed to save the Neo-Queen now the little lady is in danger, if we don’t get Sailor Mercury back...
-She is the only one who can save the others right ?
-Yes...look, three years ago it mistakenly thought that they could stop Doomsday easily and didn’t even cared to look for them, then when I learned of Serena’s death I was shattered, now that the little lady decided to travel to the past by herself...if something happens to her I’ll never forget myself, and now that she is their only hope she decides to quit...Twilight...what am I supposed to do ?
-Calm in the first place and don’t treat the girl like that.- I’ll handle this.
-Oh really ? Very nice thoughts, but...uh...I’m afraid you’ll have to get me back where I belong before I decide to send both of you to an endless date with Hades.
-Ares ?
He walked towards Sailor Pluto and pulled her skirt up.
-Yep, you still beautiful I can see that Plut.
-Get your hands off me, and explain us how did you got here.
-So you’re the famous God of war.
-Who are you ? - the God asked.
-I’m known as Twilite.- Now explain to us why are you here.
-Look I don’t know, all I know is that I was about kick Hercules butt when I found myself here.
-And you expect us to believe that ?
He walked back to where Sailor Pluto was and without any warning he kissed her, supprised she stepped back and slapped him.
-DON ‘T YOU DARE TO DO THAT AGAIN ! ! !
-Well, let’s put it this way Plut, you help me and...your little friend here survives..
He snapped his fingers and Ami’s body appeared floating in the air, seconds later it falled to the ground, Twilight got beside her but he noticed her body was incredibly cold and her eyes where completely white.
-WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER ? ? ?
