Chapter 22: The Sleeping Pegasus
"Then the handsome prince arrived at the thorn castle where he found the beautiful princess asleep from a witch's evil spell, so he gave the princess a loving kiss, and she awoke."
Seiya was reading Sleeping Beauty to Chibi-Usa to help her fall asleep, he was babysitting Usagi too and Luna was curled up on his bed, Usagi giggled about the story.
How boring, said Chibi-Usa in a sleepy voice."
"What are you talking about?, that's the best part about this story, like look at Usagi, She likes it, isn't that right!, Said Seiya."
I heard this fairytale before, said Chibi-Usa."
Well I guess when you put it like that maybe it does become boring hearing so many times but I thought you might want to hear it again if I read it, "The princess had been awakened by her true love, and so together, lived happily ever after, the end.", said Seiya as he continued the story to finish it."
Usagi Yawned, "Looks like you're Ready to sleep, but the ending was good for fairy-tales wasn't it, Chibi-Usa?, Said Seiya."
Seiya looked at Chibi-Usa and she had already fallen asleep."
Oh you're already asleep?, Said Seiya."
"Look at her... she's probably thinking about her mommy who's being held captive in the future, said Luna."
Yeah I wish there was some way we could help her, said Seiya."
"Seiya tucked Chibi-Usa into her Futon bed, and then placed Usagi in a crib before going to bed himself.
With dreaming there can be a lot of things, and that was what it was like, Usagi was in a wedding dress smiling as Mamoru was asleep, it was no surprise for him to have a dream like this with Usagi being princess serenity and he Prince Endymion, they were meant to fall in love, but the dream felt more like a nightmare to Mamoru,
"isn't just wonderful, at last we're finally getting married."
Wait...Serenity?...No Usagi, said Mamoru."
"The Moment Dream Mamoru kissed her, she was far away from him as princess serenity in a gold Bright life of distraction, the Saints and Sailor Guardians lay dead in an explosion of Visions he saw."
NOOO!, Yelled Mamoru."
he was back in his own age as a child he lay crying in the darkness of a foggy mind but he heard a voice calling to him."
"Mamoru Chiba, you must stay away from Athena and Princess Serenity, do not come into contact with her Saints."
Mamoru got up recognizing The Voice as the same voice he had been hearing recently.
So it's you again!....Tell me, Who are you!?, said Mamoru."
the voice gave him a warning, "The moment you are wed to The Moon Princess, the world will come to an end, tragedy will befall on Athena's Saints, Princess Serenity and Athena herself."
Mamoru didn't know what he was hearing and felt only anger and worry.
"Grr....are you expecting me to really believe that?, is torturing me all you want to do!? Stop it with these nightmares!, said Mamoru."
the voice spoke again, "This is a truth you cannot escape from."
"That's a lie!, it can't be!, no!, Said Mamoru."
Mamoru finally woke up, the Moon shining through his window of the bedroom."
So, If I go near them again, will they encounter tragedy, thought Mamoru."
But is that really true!?, Said Mamoru."
The door to his room opens up and Miho is standing in front of the threshold, "Mamoru are you alright, did you have a nightmare?, Said Miho."
Mamoru didn't say anything but nodded with a yes."
"Miho came over and comforted him."
It's ok, I'm here, you don't have to tell me what happened, but I promise no nightmares are gonna hurt you, even though I say that to everyone, said Miho."
Mamoru felt better with Miho with him he saw a Picture of The saints and Saori, Usagi was In the picture being held by Saori."
Serenity?, Seiya?, Thought Seiya."
Suddenly the glass of the picture shattered causing a scare."
"Oh the Photo?, Said Miho."
Miho checked it, "That's strange it didn't fall over but the glass has been shattered, said Miho."
Mamoru heard the voice again, "Tragedy will befall them."
So then is it True...?, Must I stay away from them to keep Usagi safe, after all?, thought Mamoru."
I'll fix it in the morning, would you like me to help you fall asleep?, Said Miho."
I'm alright, thanks for checking on me, said Mamoru."
Your welcome, said Miho with a smile."
"The Next Day, Mamoru kept thinking about the dream, he was looking down at a river over a bridge thinking about it."
Why?...Why should things end up dangerous if I love Usagi, she is a baby but she'll grow up, and we were meant for each other, but somehow we should work things out, but no one should be in danger because of it?, Thought Mamoru."
Mamoru heard footsteps come up to him, "Hey Mamoru?, Said Shun."
Shun and Ikki Showed up."
Shun?, Ikki?, Said Mamoru."
it's a surprise seeing you here this early in the morning, are you enjoying a morning walk too?, Said Ikki."
"I guess?, hey has Chibi-Usa mentioned anything about Crystal Tokyo to you guys?, Said Mamoru."
Uh no not from what me and Ikki know of, maybe she's told Seiya but I think we would have Heard something by now if that was the case, said Shun."
Mamoru Started to walk away, "Hey where are you going?, Said Ikki."
Completing my morning walk, said Mamoru."
Do you want us to come walk with you?, Said Ikki."
No I'm alright, bye, said Mamoru, he then ran away."
I can't be around you guys either, sorry, thought Mamoru."
"He mentioned Crystal Tokyo?, is that what that place I saw in the dreams was called?, Said Shun."
Yeah and we know it's real, looks like Mamoru's Been having the same dreams, yet he might be seeing more of it then we are, I think there's something about those dreams we've been seeing yet it makes Mamoru afraid, I feel that from his Cosmo, but i Don't understand it?, Said Ikki."
I don't understand it either, but I hope it hasn't affected him so much, said Shun."
"Hours later, Mamoru was hanging out at a cafe, still thinking."
What should I do, I feel too young to be responsible for this sort of stuff to be happening?, Thought Mamoru."
Motoki came over to him, "Hey Mamoru, what's up?, Said Motoki."
Oh Motoki, said Mamoru."
Motoki sat down next to him, "Hey you know, you've seem kinda down lately, so is there something bothering you?, Said Motoki."
Um no?, Said Mamoru."
Motoki could see that's not
how Mamoru would act so he tried to get Mamoru to trust him on what was bothering him."
Hey, we're best friends even if we're not the same age, tell me what's going on with you- I bet you'll feel better if you talk to me or someone about it, said Motoki."
Thanks, I appreciate it, Motoki what is the best way to avoid others?, Said Mamoru."
"Motoki was a bit surprised by that question, "Huh?, why would you want to do that?, Said Motoki."
I need help finding a way, to become sort of the person who people know that person wants to be left alone, for a reason In which they should be avoided, said Mamoru."
Suddenly a waitress in her teens showed up and she seemed to know Mamoru, "Here's your strawberry sundae, oh hello Mamoru."
"Somewhere else at a Park, Seiya was with the Saints and other guardians with Saori and Usagi in a stroller.
they were having ice cream and popsicles and enjoying the outside, when Minako popped the question to Seiya."
So Seiya, have you had a chance to ask Chibi-Usa anything?, Said Minako."
Well no not really, said Seiya."
Well here's what we do know, Chibi-Usa is from the future, said Rei."
"And her home, Crystal Tokyo is under attack by this Black Moon Clan, and we do not even know where in the future this is happening, said Ikki."
On top of that, Chibi-Usa's Mother is being held prisoner by that Clan?, Said Hyoga."
And now that Crimson Rubeus guy and the Four Specter Sisters are here trying to destroy our world, said Makoto."
Seiya was thinking, "Seiya are you listening?, also your ice cream is melting, said Ikki."
"So hey guys, does anyone know why Mamoru's avoiding us so much?, Said Seiya."
I don't know maybe it's a weird dream? or premonition, said Ikki."
Huh?, what you say Ikki?, Said Seiya."
"You know what, Nevermind, it really doesn't matter to begin with since there isn't exactly any proof, said Ikki."
"Guys we should focus on the top priority here, we need to find out exactly where the enemy is hiding!, Said Azuki."
Yeah, we all have to get out there and gather as much information as possible, said Artemis."
Everyone agreed, "Yeah Your right, I suppose, said Seiya."
"In some heavy traffic near the park a motorcycle came by, and the revving was annoying Seiya."
They must be a jerk if they are revving their motorcycle like that!, HEY you can you knock off, there's a baby here trying to sleep!, Said Seiya."
they then saw Mamoru on the motorcycle, and the person driving the motorcycle took off their helmet, revealing themselves to be a girl with orange red hair in a ponytail."
"Oh I'm sorry about that, I didn't realize I was making it too loud, it's a bit hard to hear with the helmet on, said The Girl."
"Seiya and Saori came up to them."
Oh you're a Girl?, Said Seiya."
Is she a friend of yours?, Mamoru?, said Saori."
It's really none of your guy's business, who she is, said Mamoru."
Oh it's a green light now, sorry I have to go can keep up the traffic, nice meeting you, hold on tight Mamoru, said The Girl."
The Girl put the Helmet and sped off before Seiya could say anything about the tone Mamoru had when he said it was none of their business to know who the girl he was with was, he was right on that but he didn't like the response he said about it."
"Well we were just asking the way he said it was rude, said Seiya."
It's alright, I guess he wasn't really in a mood to talk right now and it came out wrong, I think you might not want to tell Miho, she'll probably take it too seriously, said Saori."
Yeah I guess so, I just don't know what's gotten into him, in a complete sense, said Seiya."
As The Motorcycle drove away Mamoru kept remembering the Dream, The Bright light and destruction, Princess Serenity standing still as the Saints and Sailor Guardians lay dead on the ground beneath her."
I must stay away from them, until I figure out my nightmares, thought Mamoru."
"At Nighttime, Everyone was asleep, Chibi-Usa woke up, Luna and Seiya were asleep.
Chibi-Usa?
Chibi-Usa was hearing a voice call her."
Mommy?, Said Chibi-Usa."
Chibi-Usa got up from the futon and went outside she was following the voice, it sounded like her mother was calling her from somewhere.
Chibi-Usa, come find me."
Mommy is that you?, where are you!, Thought Chibi-Usa."
Chibi-Usa came to a sidewalk and suddenly a truck showed up when she was on the crosswalk in a panic she screamed and dropped Luna-P, the Crescent Moon Mark appeared on her head releasing her energy.
Seiya woke up and realized Chibi-Usa was gone."
Huh that bright light where's It coming from, Ah! Chibi-Usa's gone!?, Said Seiya."
She isn't anywhere in the apartment, the door is open I think she went outside!, Said Luna when she came back after looking."
Then that light must have come from Chibi-Usa!, Said Seiya."
"At the Hideout of Rubeus and The Specter Sisters they also detected the rabbit's energy, Petz and Calaveras had informed Rubeus about this."
"You say you've detected the Rabbit's Energy?, Said Rubeus."
Yes sir, Akumuuda's mimic of Her mother's voice seems to have done it, we think she is somewhere near Juban park, said Petz."
Go!, Find and attack her at once!, Said Rubeus."
Chibi-Usa ran into Juban park with Luna-P Followed her, Petz and Calaveras Appared in Chibi-Usa's Path."
There you are, now we got you Rabbit!, Said Calaveras."
"Chibi-Usa ran away from Petz and Calaveras as they chased her."
Someone help me!, Said Chibi-Usa."
Stop Running!, Said Calaveras."
Sailor Luna and Pegasus Seiya went to find Chibi-Usa, as she was chased by Calaveras and Petz."
Calaveras Grabbed Chibi-Usa."
Heh, Tonight's your last night alive, said Petz."
Put her down now!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Pegasus, said Petz & Calaveras."
"Sailor Luna Transformed into a cat and scratched Calaveras in her arm to let go of Chibi-Usa.
She Transformed back into Sailor Luna and guarded Chibi-Usa."
"Ahhh!, Said Calaveras."
Two full Grown women like yourself, ganging up to hurt a little girl, we can't forgive you for picking on her, I'm Sailor Luna and in the name of the Moon Princess, I'll Punish you, said Sailor Luna."
Saint of The Pegasus Constellation, Pegasus Saint, As Sailor Luna says I'll be punishing you too!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
"Calaveras chuckled at them."
Sailor Luna and Pegasus, we have been waiting for you to show up here, said Calaveras."
Wait you've been waiting for us?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Akumuuda, Come down here!, Said Calaveras."
Akumuuda appeared above Pegasus in a cloud of smoke that Formed her body, she spoke in a Melodic calm voice."
Dream, dream, dream, said Akumuuda."
Huh?, a Droid?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Dream, dream...!, Said Akumuuda."
"Something happened, her eyes Glowed and she created waves of light, it blinded Pegasus Seiya."
Agh, hey stop that!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Pegasus Saint!, Said Sailor Luna."
Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, said Akumuuda."
Pegasus Seiya fell to the ground."
"What's wrong with my body!.... I can't move, I feel so weak!, Thought Pegasus Seiya."
Don't fall asleep!, Said Sailor Luna."
I don't think I can ....., said Pegasus Seiya."
Pegasus Seiya fell asleep, "Seiya!, Said Sailor Luna."
With Pegasus Seiya knocked unconscious, Petz and Calaveras closed in on Chibi-Usa, but Sailor Luna didn't leave Chibi-Usa's side."
"That was easy, now it's for you, time die rabbit and kitty, said Petz as she took her hand out and showed the electric flow in them."
"Lushan Rising Dragon Lord!, Said Dragon Shiryu."
Dragon Shiryu attacked Petz and Calaveras but they Dodged the Attack the Sailor Guardians and Saints showed up to help save Chibi-Usa."
"I'm glad we decided to stop by and check that energy spike, Athena mentioned, said Sailor Jupiter."
No you people again!, Said Petz."
"Damnit, there's only two of us and there are 8 of them!, we're not at a big disadvantage here, let's go!, Said Calaveras."
Calaveras Jumped up in the air and left Petz's behind."
Hey wait!, Said Petz as she went after Calaveras."
Hey!, are you afraid to fight us!?, Said Sailor Mars."
Akumuuda is more than enough to handle all of you, said Petz."
"Akumuuda, I want you to do the same thing you did to the Pegasus Saint, lead them to nightmare land and then you can finish them off!, Said Calaveras."
"After Petz and Calaveras Disappeared, Akumuuda used her horn to hypnotize them to fall asleep in her melodic voice."
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, said Akumuuda."
I can't move, she's trying to use hypnosis to beat us, whatever you guys do, don't let her put you to sleep!, Said Sailor Luna."
Now go to sleep, sleep time to go to sleep, said Akumuuda."
I can't fight it any longer there's gotta be something to stop her, said Andromeda Shun."
We're not gonna let you put us to sleep!, Said Sailor Mars."
Sailor Mars took out an Ofuda, "Rin, Pyou, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin Retsu, Zai, Zen, Evil Spirit Be Exorcised!, Said Sailor Mars."
Sailor Mars Threw the Ofuda at Akumuuda, it stopped her from using hypnosis on them and she turned her body into smoke."
Thanks Mars, we were almost overwhelmed by that droid, said Cygnus Hyoga."
"Seiya!, Said Andromeda Shun."
the Sailor Guardians and Saints went over to the unconscious Pegasus Saint."
Please, wake up!, Said Sailor Venus."
The Pegasus Saint will continue to dream and as he dreams, his energy will be drained out of him until he finally dies!, Said Akumuuda."
Akumuuda in her Cloud Smoke form went into Pegasus Seiya."
What just happened!, Said Sailor Mercury."
Seiya!, Said Phoenix Ikki."
Seiya wake up!, Said Sailor Luna."
Come Seiya say something!, Said Sailor Jupiter."
S....Seika?, said Pegasus Seiya."
What did he say?, Said Sailor Venus."
That name?, Said Andromeda Shun."
"In the dream, Pegasus Seiya found himself in a dark void like a desert of black sand."
What is this place?, where am I?, HELLO IS ANYONE HERE!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
He heard a voice he recognized.
"Seiya, where are you?."
That Voice?, Seika!, sis I'm over here!, Seika! can you hear me!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Pegasus Seiya went to find his sister, he couldn't know it was all a dream, he was filled with desperation to find his sister.
The saints and Sailor Guardians took Pegasus Seiya's unconscious to a bench to lay on and did what they could to wake him up, Chibi-Usa watched from afair."
"Seiya, come on wake up!, Said Dragon Shiryu."
Seiya!, Said Sailor Venus."
Come on, you have to snap out of it!, Said Phoenix Ikki."
"Sailor Mercury looked worried as she could see the energy being drained from him."
You can see the energy of his Cosmo draining from his body, if we can't wake him up soon, Seiya might die!, Said Sailor Mercury."
Damnit!, What can we do!, Said Cygnus Hyoga."
They Did everything to try and wake him up nothing worked making loud sounds or shaking him didn't help or calling his name worked, he was just deep and very deep in sleep that he could not hear anyone."
"You have to wake up!, please Seiya wake up!, Said Andromeda Shun."
"Seika!, agh!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Everything turned into water around Pegasus Seiya, fell in and tried to swim but he couldn't."
Seika!, ghuh!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
"Seiya?, where are you?".
his head submerged in the water and he was dragged down into the darkness.
I can't move?, where is she?, where! even am I!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Wake up!, Said Sailor Mars, she slapped him in the face but that didn't work either."
Seika...... Don't go, said Pegasus Seiya."
We're running out of time!, Said Sailor Jupiter."
Who's Seika?, why does he keep saying her name!, are they the only one who can wake him up!, Said Chibi-Usa."
"Seika, is his older sister, She went missing when he was taken away from her and put in Sanctuary, to train and become a saint, however, we don't know what happened or where she is, said Dragon Shiryu."
Seika was the name that, Miho used when she saw me after I used Luna-P to hypnotize her so I can find the silver crystal....and even I saw that whenever that name was mentioned, Seiya always felt sad?, I never really cared about it, but now?, he's in trouble all beacuse of me!, Thought Chibi-Usa."
"A Black car showed up and Saori came out of it in her Nightgown with Shaka, Mu and Milo."
SEIYA!, Yelled Saori."
Mis. Saori!, said Andromeda Shun."
A Droid did this to him and he won't wake up, it's draining his Cosmo please do something!, Said Sailor Mars."
"Pegasus Seiya found himself on the Ground in his dream, but when he got up he saw Seika standing in front of him."
Seika?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Seiya come here?, Said Seika."
is it really you?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Pegasus Seiya tried to get up and go to Seika but his leg was grabbed by hand that had protruded from the ground.
and he recognized who the hand belonged to because it was a cloth hand piece on it."
Shun?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Suddenly a monster-like zombie of Sailor Mars came out of the ground and grabbed Pegasus Seiya pulling him down into the ground with other hands to grab him, like his stress taking hold of not being able to find her."
Ahhh!, what the?!, no let go of me, help!, Seika!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Seiya! Wake up!, Said Seika."
Huh?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Please wake up this isn't real!, Said Seika."
"In Reality it was Saori who was calling him to wake up."
Please you've got to wake up!, Said Saori."
Please wake up now!, Said Aries Mu."
His body temperature is getting lower!, Said Sailor Mercury."
No please.....I can't let you die like this, said Saori."
Tuxedo Mask was watching from afar."
"Seiya?, Said Tuxedo Mask, in a low voice.
Saori then came closer to Pegasus Seiya's face and touched his lip with his, this angered Akumuuda.
in the dream Seika had come closer to Pegasus Seiya and tried to grab him from being pulled into the void."
"STOP IT!, Said Akumuuda."
Seika!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Pegasus Seiya grabbed Seika's hand and she Turned into Saori in her Athena's Cloth."
Seiya!, Said Saori." Saori?!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
"Saori has kissed Pegasus Seiya, like it was a tale of Sleeping Beauty, however it was like the reverse, Seiya was like the Princess in the deep sleep and Saori was the Prince but as a Saint and Goddess.
Doing this it expelled Akumuuda from Pegasus Seiya's Body, when Saori's Cosmo came in touch with Pegasus Seiya."
Look he's waking up!, Said Chibi-Usa."
looks like Athena's Cosmo must have expelled that monster from his body with a kiss?, Said Scorpio Milo."
Pegasus Seiya opened his eyes and looked around."
What happened?.... Saori is that you?, said Pegasus Seiya."
"Everyone was happy that Pegasus Seiya finally Woken up, Chibi-Usa was happy too."
I don't believe it, it's like that fairytale, but reverse if it was like the princess waking up the prince!, Said Chibi-Usa."
"Putting it that way?, it is so like a fairytale, said Virgo Shaka."
But Suddenly Akumuuda reappeared and took her horn from her head, turning it into a saber."
Ugh!, how dare you interfere!, Said Akumuuda."
Akumuuda attacked, Pegasus Seiya Pushed Saori away as they Dodged the Attack."
That's enough from you!, Said Sailor Luna."
When I'm done with you!, I'll make sure you'll have nightmares!, Said Akumuuda."
"Tuxedo Mask Appeared and Threw his Rose at Akumuuda."
Now, Sailor Luna!, Said Tuxedo Mask."
Moon Princess Halation!, Said Sailor Luna."
Ahhhhhhhh!, Said Akumuuda."
Akumuuda was hit by Moon Princess Halation and Turned into Dust leaving her Green Gem behind as it turned black."
Tuxedo Mask then left."
Where are you going?, Said Phoenix Ikki."
Why do you Care?, Said Tuxedo Mask."
Because I believe you're trying to avoid us because of those dreams aren't you?, Said Phoenix Ikki."
Tuxedo Mask stopped and looked at Phoenix Ikki."
Am I right? Mamoru?, Said Phoenix Ikki."
Believe, what you want but I have my reasons and so do you, said Tuxedo Mask."
Tuxedo Mask then left leaving him there."
Mamoru?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
What's gotten into him?, Said Scorpio Milo."
"The Next Day after a good rest that had no nightmares and monsters, Seiya was at a cafe, with Saori, Usagi and Azuki when it turned out the girl who was with Mamoru the other day was Unazuki Furuhata, Motoki's Younger Sister."
Wait you're Unazuki!, so that means you're Motoki's Younger Sister!, Said Azuki."
Yes that's right, yesterday was my first time riding a motorcycle, so even if I know how to drive, I was still testing myself and I should have known that I was ruvving the motorcycle too hard, said Unazuki."
Oh it's okay, first time's a charm I guess, Usagi can forgive you Right?, Said Seiya."
Usagi Gigged with joy."
"That's good, she's a sweetheart it's so nice to finally get to meet you all, Motoki talks about you guys a lot, and of course this little Cuite too, well I have to get back to work, have a nice day, said Unazuki."
"Unazuki Furuhata left them at their Booth.
Seiya was thinking about yesterday and about Mamoru, he was also embarrassed that everyone was telling him what happened, and that he kept talking about his sister in his sleep which embarrassed him."
"It's ok, I know you'll be able to find your sister, and everyone is gonna do what they can help too, I'm sorry that it's been taking forever from the foundation's help, said Saori."
"It's ok, I just feel a bit weak that I let that Droid used by my sister's name to trick me, it even did that to Chibi-Usa, copying her mother's voice which is unforgettable, but about that Small talk, Ikki said to Mamoru?, why is he avoiding us, that's what I don't get?, Said Seiya."
"Mamo?, Said Usagi."
Saori smiled, "I'm sure, we'll figure it out, he's not gonna be able to hide it forever, especially with Ikki, said Saori."
I guess so, I'll try and give him Space until then, he's finally is able to say something, said Seiya."
and then they went back to chatting about other things in the Cafe."
*To Be Continued*
