Warning: For cursing, ooc

Error Speaking

Makai/Tree of Life

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Knock!

"Coming." Seijuro answered the door and eyes widen slightly.

Error arms crossed and staring at him. Usagi awkwardly wave hi. Lita had a similar look like Error. Luna actually staying outside the building.

"Oh, Mr. Hajime what a unexpected surprise."

"Agreed. I need to talk-"

"Everything okay-"

"Darien? What you doing here?" Usagi blinked and held back a groan. They don't have time for this. Is Natsumi and Seijuro are who Mada said. Then a possible fight might happen.

"I heard Natsumi was sick and drop some flowers. Also, to um talk." He rub the back of his head awkwardly as he look away when Seijuro glared at him slightly.

"How sweet." Error look back at Seijuro. "I have a few words with you-"

"Usagi you came back!" Natsumi shows her face next and smile slightly.

"Yeah hi." Usagi wave a bit. A little worry if she only smiling like that because of Darien. Slightly hope just happy that all.

"Why don't we all come inside and not talk out here." Natsumi offered. "Brother made some cake."

The three glance at each other.

Soon Usagi with her family sitting on the couch. Darien across from them. All them looking at the nice view of the city. Well, some looking and not paying attention.

Natsumi and Seijuro in the kitchen.

They had to do this. Or at least test the theory.

Usagi energy did something to the tree to make a new spud. They tried with energy they already took and died instantly. Won't drain every ounce of energy but just enough to save their tree.

Seijuro against it. He knows Natsumi is too. Even if she won't admit it and being stubborn with these feelings.

But it was this or else they die.

"So, Mr. Hajime what did you want to talk about?" Seijuro asked as he comes in the living room with the dessert. Just was given this look he could barely read at all.

Error place the close jar down with the branch.

"That."

Seijuro was confused at first till his eyes widen slightly when he saw it move. He wanted to curse out so badly. One of the trees branches travel back with Usagi and Lita.

Natsumi walk back in the living and eyes widen next.

"What the heck?" Darien blink and shock. "Where you get that?"

"From his lab." Lita stared at Seijuro

"What?" Seijuro looking shock and hope to lie his way for nothing. "Come now-"

"My kids told me what happen. So, show me your experiment or I'll call security of unauthorized experimentation in this apartment building."

"You can't do that!" Natsumi growled.

"Or what." Error lean over closely. "Go ahead and show me. Shouldn't be too dangerous."

"Look it was an accident on part. I should have contained it better-"

"Show him."

"Darien?"

Darien arm crossed and eyes narrowed. "Show him. That is her father. He has a right to be concern. If knew someone was doing illegal experiments in my apartment building I be rightfully not please."

"Can't believe I'm agreeing with him." Usagi muttered.

"Unless you're a cop-"

"Don't go there with me."

"Brother let show him."

"Sister."

"Just show him." Natsumi eyes narrowed and mentally curse. So, much for planning! Why Usagi have to have a concern parent! Also, why did Darien had to come? She did love the flowers but she was still hurt to see him. Along with raging anger of sorts. Almost pushed him in the room to let his energy drain. Till Usagi and Lita came back with their Mada.

A lot just happening in half a day!

Pity she really was beginning to like their Mada. Push back that feeling of guilt. Why should she feel guilty? They need to survive. They didn't have to come back. Almost wanted them not to come back especially Usagi.

Error stared at them and stand up. "Show me."

Dammit.

"Right this way." Seijuro smile.

When they reach the door and it automatically open. Usagi moves fast to jump over the couch and grab him. "Mada no!"

"Usagi!"

Error cursed as he was grab and pushed back behind her. Eyes flared dangerously as the door now closed shut and his daughter on the other side.

Then she screamed.

"LET ME GO YOU THREE FACE!"

"YAMANDAKA!"

"You maniacs!" Lita roared and jump at Natsumi. The two not fighting and struggling.

"Get off my sist-"Seijuro snarled and was suddenly grab by Error. Wince tightly at the crushing pain on his arm. Then he was suddenly thrown at the automatic doors and knock them down.

Ouch.

Error charge inside the room while Darien trying to stop the girls.

"Mada!"

Error look ahead to see his daughter being held hostage by the Cardian. While energy being drain. Along with a huge big tree that was inside this room. Pocket Dimension why not. He snarled and runs over.

"What is that thing?" Darien yelled when he went inside the room.

Lita and Natsumi yelling and fighting in the other room.

Error ready to jump up and being tackle down by Seijuro.

"ENOUGH!"

Did the tree just talk?

The whole building began to shake as huge roots shoot out. The top of the building no longer there. Usagi and the Cardian trapped in roots. No, wait the Cardian got destroyed. Darien thrown into the ground and was soon caught by a root. Natsumi and Lita jump away from the other as huge root almost crush them. Seijuro and Error got separate by roots and crumbling. Error was suddenly thrown off the roof as a root slammed into him.

"No, Mada!" Lita half acting knowing they will be okay. Didn't mean she was scared shitless. Look over and eyes widen to see Usagi grasped in the root. Same with Darien. She snarled and charge at the root "JUPITER PLANET POWER!"

Ail shakes his head out of shock on what going on. No, longer in his human disguise. Eyes widen in horror at the sight around them. Did the tree actually do this? Then sees Sailor Jupiter, how she get here, trying to release Usagi.  He gets up quickly and goes to help.

Then he suddenly couldn't move.

Ann groans and shake her head a bit. In her real form as well. She look around in shock. Did the tree actually do all thi-

SLAM!

Ann cried out in shock when Ail was thrown into her. Then suddenly was grab next and couldn't move. The two only able to move their heads and eyes widen.

It was that skeleton that help the scouts. Who are also here now as well? Besides Sailor Moon. How they get up here?

"I hope everything will be alright." Molly said as she Melvin, Luna and Artemis are down below. But they were all looking up at the destroyed apartment complex with roots coming down.

"They got this! Did you see how mad Error was when he slam to the ground?" Mevlin reminded her.

Yeah that was not a pleasant sight to see. Along with new cracks defiantly formed. But he didn't even care. Just literally teleport fast with the others to get to the roof top.

"We can only do now is wait and hope it over fast." Luna looks up above in worry.

"MAKAI TREE GET RID OF THEM ALL AT ONCE BUT LET USAGI GO!" Ail yelled at the tree.

It did nothing.

"MAKAI TREE LISTEN AT ONCE!"

"Let go you damn root!" Rei snarled as she and the other scots try to release Usagi and Darien. Can't use their attacks or else they could hurt them, Error holding the alien siblings in his strings.

Usagi and Darien both scream as their energy began to get drain.

"No, don't do that!" Ail panicking.

"Stop it! Let them go!" Ann shouted next in panic.  They didn't want this to happen! They wanted to bring life back to their tree.

"Tree! Let go of my daughter and that boy at once before I get rid of your last children!" Error demanded and tighten then strings.

The two wince and gasp in pain. Wait? How they know that?

"I will do it!"

"M-Mada no!" Usagi gasp as it tighten up.

"Usagi transform!"

"Or teleport!"

"MOON PRISM POWER, MAKE UP!"

Ail and Ann eyes widen from the bright light. Darien half unconscious and stunned what he is witnessing now.

Usagi is Sailor Moon.

The roots let go from the intense power.

Usagi drop down to the ground. Ami and Minako both holding Darien till they put him to the ground.

"No."

They all look up too see Ann shaking and then rage in her eyes.

"NO! NO! NO! WHY YOU? WHY YOU HAD TO BE THAT BLASTED SAILOR MOON AND RUIEN THIS! I CAN'T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY BEGAN TO SEE YOU AS A FRIEND!"

"Natsumi-"

"IT'S ANN! LOOK AT THIS AIL THE GIRL YOU SO LOVE IS ARE ENEMY!"

Ail eyes widen in shock and hurt. Hurt from his feelings but also he thinks the string just got tighter.

"TO THINK I ALMOST ACCEPTED YOU! THAT I EVEN BEGAN TO FEEL GUILTY TO LET THE MAKAI TREE DRAIN YOU!" Ann tried to struggle but couldn't this magical strings doing the job done. But on this inside she was hurt. Actually hurt and feel betrayed.

"Ann please let us help you two!" Usagi take a step up and eyes look hurt.

"You can help by leaving us alone!" Ann yelled and kept yelling at her, at her scouts, that blasted skeleton and even at Darien. She just wanted this to all end. "MAKAI TREE DRAIN THE EARTH FROM EVERYTHING!"

"Ann no!"

"Sister!"

White Rose thrown.

Seriously!

"Why you here?" Everyone shouted, besides Error and Darien, as they see the Moonlight Knight standing on a root. How long has he been there? They seriously wouldn't be able tell you.

"All the creatures of the universe-"

"Don't do this right now!"

"-is our friends. Instead of fighting, open up your heart to them"

"That easy for you to say look at your friends right here!" Ann shouted at him.

"He is not our friend."

"You don't understand what my brother and I went thought! Our pain that we went through for so long! Nobody never caring about us as we travel for so long! Just us two! How we had to steal and survive to get where we are now!"

"Nothing is gained by stealing-"

"Shut your mouth boy."

The Moonlight Knight taken back by a dark look Error sent him.

"Living to see another day is a good enough reason. Would I approve the methods and who they stole from? So, far no only from what I'm saw here on Earth. Out there in space I can't judge them. Survival tough. "

"It's still not right."

"You're not the judge to decide that."

"Ann. Ail." Usagi taking a step at the pair. No, pity but sadness.

"That horrible." Ami looks at them with a similar look. Rei and Minako couldn't help but agreed. Yet, stayed alert.

Lita was silent but silently understand in some way when she did live alone. Had to learn and how to not spend all her money when it runs out from family.

"You want to help?" Ann voice quiet but can hear the shaking anger. Even if she trying to hold back the sadness.

"Sister that's enough-"

"So, why don't you all help by letting our tree just take your energy!" Her pink eyes filled emotions. "MAKAI TREE DRAIN EVERYONE NOW YOUR STUPID TREE!"

The tree then started to attack everyone as roots comes out everything.

Even at Ann and Ail bound form.

The two eyes widen seeing it actually coming. Till they were pulled out of the way.

"Why you didn't you let it hit us?" Ail asked him.

"Not letting you two get off the hook that easy. Plus, your Usagi and the other friend." Error growled.

The two were shock.

Roots around trying to hit everyone around. Including the bound aliens.

Yet, Error would move them out of the way. Or One of the scouts would protect them. Or holding Darien as they jump out the way.

"I-I don't understand." Ann whispered as her mind reel back all that's been happening

"Ann." Ail whispered and look at his little sister face. He was doing a lot of deep thinking and everything that's been thrown at them.

"Why are they protecting us? They can get rid of us right now? We are bound. We can't do anything. We know what that skeleton can do and still hiding so much. What Usagi can do? So, why-"

"Dammit Ann because we care!" Usagi now in front of her face and grab her shoulder. "Look im not happy with the whole stealing energy thing! But I can look past it. You and your brother life was terrible! We can vouche to that! But we can try to help and understand if you let us!"

"But why?"

"That's what friends do! We take care and help each other! Even when it bound to get rough and horrible. Stupid. Well, we can at least try to do our best to help. But we can't right now with your parent tree trying to kill us!"

Ann still deep in shock and started at Usagi eyes. The raw emotions in them along with her voice. The truth. It was scary to believe. Too actually accept this. Why do her eyes feel wet?

"Look out!"

Usagi turn and eyes widen too see how close sharp root ready to pierce her. Then Error quickly got in front ready to protect her.

"No, move please the both of you!" Ail yelled at the pair.

"Stop!" Ann yelled and tear slide down her cheek. "Please stop! Don't hurt my friends!"

The vines stop and the tree began to glow a bright light.

"You finally understand."

"The tree was talking!"

"That's new."

Next, thing everyone knows they are seeing through the tree conscious. How the tree lived on a planet. Only tree living on it along with the ocean. Was lonely and decided to make well her children. The race Ail and Ann are from Everything was great, pure energy, love and lived in harmony. But then greediness, knowledge and power began to be big issue. A lot of battles on the planet to control the tree themselves. The fighting could have stop if they step in. But hope they can stop it themselves. Which lead to the destruction of their planet. Floated in space with survivors. Visit many planets but couldn't find the one to settle down and start over. But soon survivors began to die out. Ail and Ann only ones who survive.

Everyone was silent.

Error did let go of the siblings from his strings.

"All this time you could have talk!"

".... Were you paying attention from the flashback story?"

"Do you blame us? We never once heard you spoke!"

"Fair enough."

"So, it was love you need but not energy?"

"Correct my children."

"So, friendship love?"

"That one kind of love but yes. Even your love as siblings is enough to help me."

"You could have told us!"

"I was already withering away at that point. I tried to give you both a signal but you couldn't understand me. In the end you both understand what love and friendship is now."

"We almost tried to kill our friends."

"You wouldn't be the first."

"Plus, you at least admitting it."

"I'm not sorry for almost killing you both. You know hurting my kids and their friends."

The two aliens gulped and look away. Usagi nudge him.

"Fine, I could have lowered down the threats to not kill. But torture you for a decade."

"The getting killed sounds better."

"Sailor Moon I have a request."

"Look I can try to asked Mada to not torture them, but that a lot bunny face looks."

"Wait? Mada!"

"Mr. Hai-"

"Say, my name out loud and I will sew your mouths together."

"I do understand your reasons for not being too happy at my children at the moment. But I'm still right here as well."

"What you want from my kid?"

"Will you purify my body with the power of your love?"

"Uhhh."

"Your staff."

"Oh, sure" Pulls out her Moon stick. "MOON HEALING ACTIVATION!"

"Cleansing!"

The tree was now gone from a bright light. Wait? Why is she surrounded by clouds? Why is Darein here? Why is it just her? Wait he was knock out from the bottle a lot. How she wish she had a fire hydrant to slam down on his face! Whelp good thing she has her lovely moon stick out instead to carve his face.

Yes, she still pissed off at him. Can't you tell.

"It's going to be reborn."

"Will you go away! Wait? How you even here?" Usagi stared up at the Moonlight Knight floating in the air.

"Sailor Moon. I mean Usagi Hajime-"

"Stalker."

"I'm not a stalker."

"Sure, your not."

"I will reveal my true identity to you now-"

"I really don't care unles-Darein!"

The moonlight knight revealed it was indeed Darein face a like.

"Oh, gosh my nightmare became true! There two of you!"

"That's rude."

"This is a face that show I don't care what you think."

"Listen, I'm a part of Darien."

"Still, two of you."

"Look after of final battle with Queen Beryl, Darien memories were lost- "

"Well, not everything besides being Tuexdo Mask." Will not mention being an once Prince as well. If that still there or not.

"-but his strong desire to save Sailor Moon and you, the one he loved for, still remained."

"I'm going to throw up."

"That subconscious desire took on a life of its own and created the Moonlight Knight. His only mission is to save you."

"Look you were maybe twenty percent better than Tuexdo. But Dark Endymion still beat you both at the end of the day. Since you know he actually did something. My friends and I did a lot of the saving."

"My mission has come to an end."

"You must either be deaf or ignoring me."

"Now that Darien has fallen in love with you once more- "

"What? That makes no sense! Especially, now since he been knock out most the fight! Or showed any indication either for being interested!"

"-he and I will become one again."

"Hold up a second! How about you two not do that!"

"We will be protecting you always."

"No, you will not!" Thrust her Moon stick at his direction. "I don't know how much you remember! Especially, that horrid time when we died! But you are not coming anywhere near me!"

"Adieu."

"Don't you dare disappear and reconnect to that body-"

Too late. They are merge back together.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Let's see how everything will else turn out!

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
