Chapter 19: The Planet of Love and Beauty
(Temple: Unknown; Elysium)
"In the ruins of a temple that was still being rebuilt in Elysium, cracks were seeable in the walls of the old temple, it once held the body of the Death God."
But now sitting on a pedal lies a black crystal, that has been growing over time and is imbued with a strong cosmic aura, Persephone was in front of it and she held her hand over it quietly."
"Aiolos of Sagittarius?, Said Persephone."
"The moment you ended up in the underworld, that year in the human world was 1972, the year of your death, where you protected Athena from dying at a young age by the Darkside of Gemini, however you were labeled as a traitor for taking her away even if it was for the "The Best", Lune would have sent you to the Eighth Prison anyway, if I hadn't stepped in, although I had love for my husband; Hades, I was bored in the underworld even when I visited my mother, it was all just the same, the same as Myth, and separated from my love I want to bring back, I felt pity for you, and so I convinced him to let me take you, you should have be glad, even though sometimes you refused my advances, you were punished for that, and now you've "escaped" and the one who was supposed to supervise you, will be the one to be punished."
"Sailor Iron Mouse was running over to the temple, but as she came to the courtyard of the temple, she was stopped by Bennu Kagaho from getting into the entrance."
"And where do you think you're going, Little Sailor Guardian, said Bennu Kagaho."
"Bennu?!, Said Sailor Iron Mouse, as she looked to see him standing in front of her when he suddenly appeared."
"I asked where you were going?, Said Bennu Kagaho."
I came to give news to Lady Persephone!, What do you think I'm here for, let me though! Said Sailor Iron Mouse."
"Sorry, but I cannot, said Bennu Kagaho as he refused."
Why not!, Look from what happened it was a mistake!, I tried looking for him honestly!, But he took off his Surplice and I couldn't get back to looking because Princess Jupiter Reawakened and so the whole surface keeping everything together collapsed!, Said Sailor Iron Mouse."
"Bennu Kagaho looked at her Seriously and this made her get a little scared."
Oh I completely understand?, But Persephone already knows too, you were also to PREVENT the Bronze Saints from getting to Jupiter Castle and it's princess by killing them, yet when the others who did so to prevent them from getting to those locations all died on those planets expect for one at the moment......you, said Bennu Kagaho."
Sailor Iron Mouse Bowed down and begged."
"Oh please!, But I need a second chance!, Said Sailor Iron Mouse."
Your Second Chance was being resurrected by Persephone, but you've failed to do what you were told, you should have accepted fate and died on Jupiter, then you wouldn't have to be so humiliated, my goddess has no use for you anymore, and she doesn't want to see your face again, so prepare to die, said Bennu Kagaho."
No!, Wait please!, AHHHH!, Said Sailor Iron Mouse as she ran away but Bennu Kagaho attacked her with one of his techniques."
"Running away from me is useless, Crucify Ankh!, Said Bennu Kagaho."
Kagaho shoots black fire stakes at Sailor Iron Mouse, she tries to dodge them but is unable too."
They enter her body and she feels the heat of those flames burning their way inside her, as black fire starts to bind her body and she is unable to move she screams loudly for help that never comes."
"IT BURNS!, IT BURNS!, PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!, MAKE IT STOP!, Yelled Sailor Iron Mouse."
It's about to stop right now, said Bennu Kagaho."
NO, NO, NOOOOOO!!!!!, Yelled Sailor Iron Mouse."
Sailor Iron Mouse screams and becomes silent as her body turns into ash, and disintegrates as the wind of Elysium pushes them away, Bennu Kagaho sighs at this."
"Well that's done with, although I like it when my victims scream in agony, her screams were very loud and annoying squeaks of a mouse in pain, seriously these enemies of the Sailor Princesses are worthless, all they do is die again like they did before, More Specters must be needed to get rid of those pesky saints of Athena, but I'm not allowed to give those orders, unfortunately, said Bennu Kagaho."
"He looked up and saw a green light heading to where Princess Serenity laid in a deep sleep knowing for well it would awaken her some more, which annoyed him as it was getting in the way of Persephone's plans.
"That's four down, now and 5 more to go, Cruse every last one of those Saints of Athena."
(Silver Millennium, Moon)
"Coming back to the Silver Millennium, Sailor Mercury was glad to see Sailor Jupiter again, Aiolos had come with them along with Shunrei and Shōryū."
Shōyrū was amazed by Silver Millennium's interior."
It's so big?!, Said Shōyrū."
So this is Silver Millennium?, Said Dragon Shiryu."
But what is going on.......is Saori in trouble again?, Said Shunrei."
Dragon Shiryu didn't say anything but looked at Shunrei, who could already tell that."
"I see then, that would mean you have to go back to battle again to protect the world said Shunrei."
It's ok Shunrei, I know how you feel, I wouldn't want to leave you and Shōryū, but?, Said Dragon Shiryu."
Shunrei shook her head and interrupted him."
"It's ok, you don't have to explain everything, you have a duty and you have to uphold it to protect me and everyone, so just promise me only this that you'll come back when it's all over and you've accomplished what needs to be done, said Shunrei."
Dragon Shiryu nodded his head and agreed."
"I promise, said Dragon Shiryu."
What's daddy doing?, Said Shōyrū."
Dragon Shiryu kneeled down to Shōyrū's height and patted him on the head."
"I have to do some stuff that's not very safe, so I'll be far away for some time, but I want you to promise me you'll be good and listen to Shunrei while I'm away ok, said Dragon Shiryu."
Shōyrū quickly nodded his head, although due to his young age, obviously really didn't understand the verity of the situation; which was for the best."
Goddess Artemis appeared to look at them and she wasn't alone this time as a woman was standing beside her holding a moon staff, she had long light blue hair."
"Artemis?, Said Aiolos, he quickly bowed down to her the moment of seeing the Moon Goddess."
There's no need for you to do that, although you've been through a lot it seems, but I should acknowledge an associate of mine, this is Callisto, Said Goddess Artemis."
"Pleasure to meet all of you, said Callisto."
"Callisto seemed to be as cold as Goddess Artemis was, although Pegasus Seiya was confused since he hadn't seen her before, she only must have come when they were still on the Planet of Jupiter."
"Callisto, would you mind accompanying the two humans related to the Dragon Saint back to Earth, said Goddess Artemis."
"Yes, my Goddess, and I'll make sure to pass along your message to the others, said Callisto."
Others?, Said Pegasus Seiya, as he was confused about what they were talking about."
Callisto looked at him when he said this, and made a glare at him."
It really isn't your concern to understand the discussion I had with my goddess, so I suggest you stay out of it, Pegasus, said Callisto, and then she walked away and over to Shunrei and Shōryū."
Shōryū was a little bit scared of Callisto and hid behind Shunrei, the moment Callisto got close to where they were standing."
"You've said your goodbyes?, Said Callisto, as she looked at Dragon Shiryu and he Nodded that he did."
I promise, I'll come back when this is over, said Dragon Shiryu."
I know you would, said Shunrei."
"So I'm missing something here?, Said Taiki."
It's really nothing, just relationships, said Phoenix Ikki."
After that Shunrei and Shōryū were taken back to the Five Peaks of Rozan in China where they would be safe and sound back on earth."
After this everyone was able to take a break before they eventually went back on the mission, which was to awaken another of the Sailor Princesses; this time it was Princess Venus, and the Planet of Love and Beauty; Venus."
"In a room with the Sailor Guardians and Saints, minus Sailor Mercury, Shun, Ikki and Maker, Mars and also Goddess Artemis, the three cats, Chibi-Usa, Fighter now as Kou, Yaten, with Shiryu, Jupiter and Aiolos seemed to talk to each other."
Aiolos had tried to explain everything that he could remember from when he was being controlled, he had something to say but couldn't remember it correctly but knew it was important as it related to Persephone and her plans."
I was kept as some kind of servant to her, but I really don't like talking about it, and I don't really like pomegranates much any more, but I can't remember what happened much after I was put under the Control, I know I was there because she tried to use me in taking the one who is called "Chibi-Usa" and I refused, but something about Persephone was different she was much sinister and darker than the one I knew when she step in the courtroom of the first prison to reason and let me go, I just don't understand why she did it, said Aiolos."
"In the little bits of memories I saw from when I healed his head wound, they mentioned Chaos and it's power, and some kind of entity locked inside a crystal, could that be something?, But I don't know if I should say it, they'll probably won't believe me, Thought Chibi-Usa as she thinking of this."
But I know it has something to do with Chaos?, But I don't know what that means if it was a meaning or something else, said Aiolos."
"Chaos?!, Are you sure about that, Said Yaten."
Aiolos looked at Yaten confused."
"Is there something wrong with that?, Said Aiolos."
I also want to know something about that, from what you have told us about you and the Starlights and the fact that you're not even human to begin with; which is hard to even explain for anyone now knowing about it themselves, but who are or what is this "Chaos" you referred to, said Seiya."
Kou explained to who they meant by Chaos."
"I suppose it's about time to explain that detail into depth a lot further, we'll tell you so please listen carefully, everyone, said Kou."
"Chaos is an immense being of darkness and the source of all Evil that lives and lurks within the center of many galaxies, Because in the center is where the Galaxy Cauldron is, but Choas as it's name suggests is an Evil Entity that causes disaster across the galaxy, and it once came into the Milky way galaxy that's when we came there and we came to stop it, and Sailor Moon was the only one truly able to stop Choas, however with being Evil itself it can not be completely destroyed, as the Cauldron will be bring it back to life, said Kou."
"Then we'll have to stop the Cauldron, is what you're saying?, Like destroy it or something? Said Seiya."
However this was Quickly shot down of the idea by Luna."
NO!, You can't do that, and you may have had to do that before to save the earth a couple of times, but the Galaxy Cauldron is important to the entrance universe, that's where every single star is born, especially the stars within your guardian constellations, it cannot not be destroyed or the whole universe would go down with it, said Luna."
"Yeah that's not the best idea, especially since we just got Shunrei and Shōryū back, it's the opposite of protecting them and the Earth, said Hyoga."
Well I was just saying, I didn't actually think it would be the answer, said Seiya, as he felt guilty for bringing it up now."
"Well, asking is fine, Luna you need to take a chill pill, said Sailor Jupiter."
"HOW CAN I TAKE A CHILL PILL, WHEN USAGI'S STILL MISSING TOO, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE SHE IS BESIDES THE OTHER SAILOR GUARDIANS BEING ON THERE PLANET!, Yelled Luna."
"Luna got tired and lost her breath, that she panted on the ground, her worry for Usagi was obvious."
Maybe we can ask Artemis if she knows anything about Usagi, said Chibi-Usa."
Aiolos looked at Artemis (The Cat)."
"Again, she means the Moon Goddess, not me, really why is this confusing everyone, said Artemis."
Well you two do have the same name, however you're a white cat, and she's an Olympian God, maybe it's best we give you a nickname?, said Yaten."
No!, You're not!, Besides someone's gonna have fun making the most ridiculous names!, And I'm not going through that, said Artemis, as he eyed Luna."
"After that now knowing more of Chaos, it was certain who the true villain was, however it wasn't certain how Persephone was connected to Chaos, Seiya now that he was back at Silver Millennium, he could ask Sailor Mercury about the Results in the scan for if the Silver Crystal was inside him."
However coming there seemed at Sailor Mars already got to it and was talking to Mercury about it."
What do you mean there is "No Data"?, Said Sailor Mars."
There really isn't an answer, that's all I was getting, I tried to recheck it and if there was a mistake, but it still brought up the same result, I don't know if I might have to recalculate and try it again although perhaps I'll have to rescan him.....too, said Sailor Mercury as she look over a saw Seiya, she smiled at him."
"Oh Seiya, said Sailor Mercury."
You seem to pop in at the right moment, said Sailor Mars."
Was what you said true?, said Seiya, when he asked her."
"Sailor Mercury nodded her head with a sad face expression."
Unfortunately that's the case, although I can't explain as it would come off confusing to you, but I'm certain that there are trances of it, I just don't know how, it puzzles me as much as you, so let's just say certain of what we believe in even if we don't have truth, then thing would mean, we have to find how it was placed inside your body, but that might result in more tests.....and I think you wouldn't really like it much, said Sailor Mercury."
Seiya could agree on that as he didn't want to be used as some kind of test subject to possibly have the crystal inside him although it might already be true."
What puzzled him was how Mercury's computer came up with No Data, which shouldn't be that much possible with Super computers when getting the information quick or that his knowledge of super computers in general wasn't really much up to date when being asleep for 9 years."
"I see then, but I guess it really doesn't have to matter much, but what you mean by how it ended inside me, I have a guess who is behind that, but I wouldn't want her to be uncomfortable about answering it, you know who I'm talking about right, said Seiya."
Sailor Mars agreed with him, he obviously was talking to Chibi-Usa, it was with her that they were on the mission to rescue the Sailor Guardians."
"I know what you mean, it is possible Chibi-Usa has the answer although we need her to answer it, I wouldn't force her, she's been through quite a lot at such a young age, although she is finally starting to grow older, said Sailor Mars."
Growing older?, Said Seiya, confused."
"Uh, yeah it's hard to explain don't freak out but even if Chibi-Usa might look like a kid, she's technically around 900 years old, although in this case she has to be around 12 years old physically but her actual age is 905 years old, said Sailor Mercury."
"Seiya looked confused as ever with this, and he obviously really didn't know that."
"Uh, ok then, well that's something interesting...I guess, said Seiya."
Yeah I think that's not really important, but that's Mercury for you, said Sailor Mars."
Sailor Mercury only awkwardly smiled at herself."
It was about time to focus on the mission, Mercury had already checked out the planet of Venus, and how they'll be able to get Magellan Castle; Where Minako was as Princess Venus."
Shun seemed to be more focused than ever as from what Ikki could see, although It also could be because he was a friend of the Sailor Guardians, and he devotion to protect the ones he cared for and the innocent, they waste no time on getting to who was going to Venus."
"Seiya was obviously going, and Shun was going as well with Chibi-Usa, But Star Healer was joining this time as she hadn't really gone on any of the missions once, Artemis was adamant on coming too, and Aiolos was as well but Goddess Artemis forbid him."
"Although I see that your adamant as the Cat who shares my name with me, I cannot permit you to go, and I suggest you respect that, getting Athena is not an easy task, and only by saving the rest of the Princesses will prevent Persephone from using the Crystals, Especially in your condition you should be taking rest, and I don't think you would want me to force that upon you, do you understand, said Goddess Artemis."
Aiolos reluctantly agreed to listen and apologized."
I understand, I guess I am just carried away from what has been going on, I'm just not used to everything that's passed, said Aiolos."
"That I can understand, but I promise Aiolos, I'll get Athena back no matter what, as well Usagi, said Seiya."
Goddess Artemis seemed to eye at him when he said that and he saw this but she didn't say anything nor did he say anything either."
"But why does Daddy want to go?, Said Diana."
"Well I..... said Artemis."
Luna interrupted him, and reassured him."
"It's okay Artemis as a matter of fact I understand why you want to go with them on this, I think that can be explained in those temples and towers since you have a strong connection to Minako as like I do with Usagi, just try not to get into any trouble, said Luna."
Artemis was annoyed when she said that."
"Although if I'm certain, Kunzite might be the one you'll be encountering first, I would recommend that it won't be easy to reason with him, so I suggest I go with you, said Zoisite."
Yes that should be good as the Four Knights of Heaven we have a duty to protect our prince, but in this case protect the Princesses of the 9 planets as well, with your relationship with Kunzite you should be able to talk to him, also has Jadeite ever come out of his gem?, Said Nephrite."
Zoisite gently shook his head."
"Unfortunately no, he's been inside for a while, I guess he's just spoiled for being defeated so easily by Pegasus, said Zoisite."
"Really is that so?, Said Pegasus Seiya, sarcastically."
"Sailor Mars was given the gem of, she forced him to come out heating up his gem with her powers over fire."
Which eventually worked and he came out angry."
"OW!, HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO ME!, DON'T LIGHT ME UP IN FLAMES?!, Yelled Jadeite."
Yeah well stop sitting around and do your part as a knight, instead of in that gem of yours!, said Sailor Mars."
"Why do you care!, Also what's even going on here!, When did you get here Nephrite!, Said Jadeite."
"Well maybe if someone wasn't hiding under a gem all the whole time, that wouldn't be an issue, said Nephrite."
"And with that Goddess Artemis has sent them to Venus."
Sailor Mars had something to ask Goddess Artemis and she said it while the others had left for the computer room of Silver Millennium leaving the two alone, Goddess Artemis seemed to already know about what Sailor Mars wanted to ask about."
"You know Artemis, recently I noticed the memories of both our past lives and present memories seemed to have something in common, that we apparently meant the saints before, although the temple memories can be explained that Tower memories are the issue, how did we forget that we met the Current Saints before, do you perhaps know the answer to it, said Sailor Mars."
Goddess Artemis looked at her and gave her a response to the question."
"Unfortunately I can't share that information, it's mostly just by chance, and that you're connected with the saints from your past life it's merely a coincidence, but how do you think I would know it?, Said Goddess Artemis."
Sailor Mars looked intently at the Moon Goddess."
"Well since I protect The Moon Princess, it really makes it obvious that she should be the one who rules the Moon, but she gave that up to have a normal life the life Queen Serenity wanted all of us to have, but when we know the worlds threatened we stand together to fight it as much the saints do when it comes to protect Athena, but something about what your telling us Isn't the full truth, and those memories are proving something someone in particular was trying to make those memories completely disappear, said Sailor Mars."
And you think I have something to do with that?, Said Goddess Artemis."
"Sailor Mars shook her head."
No not really.....perhaps only a little, maybe I can't say much, but I feel like I understand you have something else in mind and know what's going on, but you have to realize you'll have to reveal it eventually even you don't want to, they must know, and I must know too, said Sailor Mars."
Goddess Artemis Sighed."
"Perhaps you have a point, but it's still not time, only once all of the Princesses are brought back, then we'll see about the information, I suggest you keep everything we discussed in wraps, or it might become an issue none of us can hold, but I'll only say this, I will keep Selene's wish in what she intended it to be, and that is to protect all of you from the destruction the other gods may cause on this world to be destroyed, that you or the saints won't be able to stop it, said Goddess Artemis."
"Goddess Artemis walked past Sailor Mars after she said this, Mars didn't say anything else, and did what she was told, but she was still not done questioning Goddess Artemis's true motivations in wanting to help them and stop Persephone, and Mars had to be prepared for anything that might get in the way of it, so she decided to go to Luna about it, and made sure she kept everything under "wraps" as Goddess Artemis told her too do."
"Wait a minute did I forget to tell them when it's gonna rain on Venus?, Said Sailor Mercury."
"I think they'll figure it out, don't worry Mercury, said Jadeite, as he sat by the computer while viewing it."
(Planet; Venus)
"They arrived on the planet of Venus, which looked similar to Mars as it was like desert but yellow and lots of rocks and hills were scattered around the area they were transported too, it was cloudy and had an odd smell to it, which Pegasus Seiya didn't like."
"Ugh that smell, it's like a Rotten Egg!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
It's really gross!, Said Chibi Moon."
"That would be the clouds giving off that smell, they are made of Sulfuric acid, but you should be safe with those cloths of yours on, usually the atmosphere of this planet seems to be thick, that it could crush normal humans, said Artemis."
Ow!, Said Andromeda Shun as he rubbed his arm."
"Are you alright?, Said Star Healer."
"Something just made my arm hurt like it was poked with a needle, but I don't know why that happened or what caused it?, Said Andromeda Shun."
"Chibi Moon held her hands out and they also hurt a bit when a drop from the sky landed on the palm of her hands."
"That hurts!, Is it the Rain?, Said Chibi Moon, as she quickly put her hands away."
Artemis quickly realized what the issue was and he told them they needed to find shelter."
"Guys, we better find a shelter of some kind here!, It's gonna rain, said Artemis."
Wait what's so wrong about it Raining?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Remember when I said the clouds are made with Sulfuric acid!, It's going to rain with that chemical all over us, and I think you can figure out the rest, that won't be good for any of us who don't have our powers enhanced well enough to fit in the planet's environment!, Said Artemis."
Wait where did everyone go?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
"Artemis and Pegasus Seiya looked around and noticed the others had left because Zoisite had rushed them to go while the two were still talking to each other."
Sailor Star Healer had picked up Andromeda Shun in a cradle position and he called back to them as he tried to look over Healer's Shoulder, and told them to hurry."
"Guys Run quickly!, Before the storm starts!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Well wait for us!, Don't go running away!, Said Pegasus Seiya, he picked up Artemis by his tail and rushed after the others, Artemis complained about having his tail grabbed."
"HEY DON'T GRAB MY TAIL LIKE THAT!, IT'S BAD TO DO THAT TO A CAT!, Yelled Artemis."
"Finally they caught up to the others as they went into the cave that was in one of the hills, the Sulfuric acid rain finally started and it came down hard, small dust clouds formed on the ground as it continued the rain."
"It doesn't look like it's going to let up anytime soon, said Star Healer."
Why didn't Mercury mention this before we were sent to Venus, said Pegasus Seiya."
"She must have just forgotten, she's been quite busy as it is, trying to figure out ways for us to stay safe, even the small things could pass her, said Zoisite."
Pegasus Seiya could agree with that since she was also checking the data about the Silver Crystal and him, but was puzzled by the "No Data" response to the results."
"When they looked down into the Cave; there was a long tunnel, and it seemed to be the only way to go down if they waited around for the acid rain to stop, wondering where it could lead too."
How far do you think the Cave is?, Said Chibi Moon."
It may lead somewhere, before that wouldn't be known unless we go through it, although when coming in here, I felt that this place was safe for us, I wonder why, said Zoisite."
"I don't think it's good for us to travel down there, we might get lost, said Star Healer."
Andromeda Shun was looking out at the Rain when they were talking about this."
"Being on Venus almost reminds me of the story "All Summer in a Day", said Andromeda Shun."
The others looked at him confused and he Explained it."
"Uh it's just this short science fiction story that I happened to read before, that took place on Venus, it's mostly a sad story, but it really isn't important in this case, although the story mentioned the weather was like this without it being made of Sulfuric acid, and that only summer can happened on Venus in one day for a short time, and rain again without letting up until the next 7 years, said Andromeda Shun."
"That sounds pretty sad?, Said Chibi Moon."
Andromeda Shun smiled at her."
"It can get a lot sadder and make you feel angry at once some of the characters and how they treat the main character, but that's all I can say for now, it's been awhile since I read the story, said Andromeda Shun."
"Then maybe this rain isn't gonna let up until the next 7 years, and definitely have no time for that, the only way for us to continue with our mission like we did on the other planets, would be to go down the tunnel and where it will lead, said Star Healer, as she pointed down the tunnel."
"I will agree with you, it's probably best we continue down the tunnel and quickly as we have to save Minako, although I don't really think this sulfuric acid rain wouldn't end in 7 years, it's mostly just fiction, said Artemis."
With that they all got up and walked down the tunnel system of the cave they were hiding in for shelter."
The deeper they went down the walls of the tunnel became large and far apart and turned to become wider than it was before when they entered the cave, it was more like a Cavern now."
It's getting a lot bigger the more we walk through here?.....and creepy too?, Said Chibi Moon nervously as she got near Zoisite as he was closer to her."
Zoisite was looking down at her and looking at her face."
What are you looking at Zoisite? Said Chibi Moon."
It's nothing, your face reminds me of my prince a little for some reason, although I should already know the answer to that, said Zoisite."
"That's when there was a sudden shake which has caused the others to tumble to the ground as the shaking was very violent."
"What's going on?!, Said Chibi Moon."
An Earthquake?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
It stopped after a while but the moment Chibi Moon got up she thought she saw something in the shadows that scared her, which caused her to run."
AHHHHHHHH, MONSTER!, Yelled Chibi Moon."
CHIBI MOON COME BACK!, Yelled Pegasus Seiya."
The shaking happened again and when Chibi Moon started she ran into another tunnel with Zoisite and Pegasus Seiya going after her, the ceiling of the tunnel crumbled and collapsed, Seiya was able to jump over Chibi Moon so the rocks of the crumblings roof would crush her."
"Once the dust disappeared from all of the shaking, Chibi Moon got up with Pegasus Seiya holding on to her, Zoisite was with them but they came from was covered by the rocks, Chibi Moon got Seiya off of him and shook him awake."
Seiya!, Wake up, are you alright!, Said Chibi Moon."
Agh?, What happened, did the shaking stop?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Not quite, we've been separated from the others by that shaking....and also Chibi Moon's "fear", said Zoisite as he eyed and looked at her, which she protested."
"Hey!, It was an accident I got scared!, I thought I saw something!, But my mind was messing with me!, Said Chibi Moon."
"Well it picked a really perfect time to do that, Ow!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Seiya had his leg caught under some of the rumble, a trickle of blood could be seen under the Rock, Zoisite was able to move the rock and free his leg, which seemed to be sprained."
"It apparently you may have sprained your leg from the pressure of the rumble over them, said Zoisite."
Yeah I can see that, said Pegasus Seiya as he moved his sprained leg a little it checked it, Andromeda Shun, Star Healer and Artemis who were on the other side, called out to them to see if they were alright, however there voices sounded a bit muffled."
"Seiya!, Guys are you alright?, Said Andromeda Shun."
Yeah we're fine, but Seiya sprained his leg!, Said Chibi Moon."
Yeah that's because you got yourself scared and ran away, which is why it's sprained!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Will you shut up I said it was an accident!, Said Chibi Moon."
Guys don't argue and hang on a second, I'm gonna try and use my attack to break the boulders in the way, said Star Healer."
But this was Quickly shot down before she even called "Star".
No that's a bad idea Healer!, Said Artemis."
"Artemis has a point, even if we can get out of the way when you use your attack so we don't get hurt, the problem is that It may start an unnecessary quake again and make it much worse, said Zoisite."
Then is there a way for them to get us out?, Said Chibi Moon."
"Andromeda Shun then came up with a way that just might work, and he asked if the tunnel they were in, led anywhere else."
Wait maybe the tunnel might connect back up from where we are, but It's really only a guess, but it's the safest option, said Andromeda Shun."
That could work, but it might be difficult, as we won't know how far it goes, said Zoisite."
Well we'll try and head down the other way that hasn't collapsed, and let's hope it leads back to you, said Star Healer."
They Aggred to do just that, Zoisite helped Pegasus Seiya up and they went down the tunnel to see where it could lead."
"I don't understand what scared Chibi Moon?, There isn't really anything that could have frightened her in here?, Said Andromeda Shun, as he thought of what caused Chibi Moon to run and cause the situation."
"I checked the wall and there were cracks in it, it must have looked like a scary face to her, after all even though not technically and only physically, Chibi Moon is still considered a Child, so as what she was yelling at Seiya to shut him up, she meant it, said Artemis."
"I see, I wouldn't blame her, I could have gotten scared like that myself, and hid behind Ikki.....if he had come with us, but let's go and try to regroup with them now, said Andromeda Shun."
"Shun then turns and notices a black cape, moving behind beside one of the tunnels up ahead of them, he rubbed his eyes for a moment and what he saw was gone now."
"Is something wrong?, Said Star Healer."
Andromeda Shun shook his head."
"It's nothing, I guess I might be seeing stuff too now, said Andromeda Shun."
And they continued down the tunnels."
"The tunnels became wider until they came by multiple other tunnels that seemed to go in different directions, there was no telling which led a way to the Venus Temple and outside of the caverns, or which way would lead them into finding Pegasus Seiya, Zoisite and Chibi Moon."
"If I have to guess, we went right and they got trapped in the collapsed tunnel on the left, so one of these left tunnels may be a way for them to meet back up with us, said Artemis."
Star Healer started to yell down one of the Tunnels to see if they can hear her and yell back."
HEY DOES THIS TUNNEL LEAD TO WHERE YOU CAN HEAR MY VOICE, SAY SOMETHING IF YOU CAN HEAR ME!, Yelled Star Healer."
Her voice echoed down the tunnel she was yelling into but there was no response, just the remnants of her voice echoing as it got lower and lower and soon stopped."
"I don't hear anything different, besides my voice Echoing, maybe it isn't this tunnel, said Star Healer."
"Yeah I don't think yelling is gonna work, on helping them find the way back to us, especially with all these other tunnels around us, said Artemis, Sarcastically."
Well it was worth a shot, said Star Healer."
That's when Andromeda Shun's Chains Started rattling again, sensing an enemy nearby, he became defensive, steeping in front of Star Healer and Artemis, and looking for where the Danger might be."
That was quick when two shots of dark energy were shot at them."
"Look out!, Rolling Defense!, Said Andromeda Shun, as he blocked the dark energy attack."
"A shadow came out of one of the tunnels, and Revealed themselves; it was Kunzite."
"These Cravens are a sacred place of Venus, and also a dangerous one where you can get easily lost in and get hurt, I would ask you to leave immediately, before I have to take measures, said Kunzite."
Kunzite?!, Said Artemis."
"We're not enemies, we came here with Zoisite, and to Save Minako, said Andromeda Shun."
"On this planet it's Princess Venus, Princess of Gold and Light, Planet Goddess of Love and Beauty and Princess of Magellan Castle, and two how can I believe that my beloved Zoisite is with you, when I don't see him, all of you are just trespassing in grounds where you should not be!, Said Kunzite."
Kunzite jumped across from where he was to attack, they Dodged his attacks and Star Healer attacked him, while Andromeda Shun held Artemis."
Star Sensitive Inferno!, Said Star Healer."
Hgh!, Said Kunzite as he blocked the attack by absorbing it with Darkness."
"He Absorbed it?!, Said Star Healer."
Tellu did that before, with her flowers to stop my Brother's attack, but Kunzite's way more powerful than he looks, said Andromeda Shun."
"You're correct, I'm much more powerful out of all the Four Kings of Heaven, for I'm the leader and the Heavenly Knight of Virtue and Affection, said Kunzite."
Well I don't understand a knight who doesn't want to hear someone out when they stand for Virtue and Affection, said Star Healer."
"Quiet talking, show me your own Strength then, perhaps then I'll let you pass, or you tell me what you know about Zoisite!, Said Kunzite, and he attacked again."
Down the Tunnels, The pain in Seiya's leg stopped hurting and so he tried to walk on it once Zoisite put him down."
"Are you feeling better?, Said Zoisite."
Looks like it, it's strange, That shouldn't have healed that fast but it did, said Pegasus Seiya."
"Well at least that's good, it's good that I don't have to carry you anymore, said Zoisite, with a smirk."
Chibi Moon looked a bit upset, and Seiya told her it was alright."
"Hey, Chibi Moon, it wasn't really your fault, but you should probably just be careful next time when you get scared, especially in a place like this, said Pegasus Seiya."
I know, I'm just annoyed that I got scared like that, but we have to find a way to rejoin the others, said Chibi Moon."
Zoisite and Pegasus Seiya agreed to that."
"You can go this way, it'll lead you back, but quickly, for you must resolve the situation."
"They heard this voice call out to them, but Seiya couldn't recognize it, however Zoisite and Chibi Moon knew who was calling to them, but didn't really know how they were here on Venus, which puzzled them."
"Who said that?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Mamo?, Said Chibi Moon."
Mamo?, Who's that?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
"It's familiar, but I believe we should listen to what he's telling us, as we can't stay here much longer, said Zoisite."
The Shaking happened again like it did before."
"Is it happening again Really?!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Quick!, We don't have time!, said Zoisite."
They rushed down the tunnel and that's when they saw him; it was Tuxedo Mask."
"Tuxedo Mask?!, Said Chibi Moon."
Ok then, Who's Tuxedo Mask?!....also why is that even his name?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Tuxedo Mask then went left down the tunnel and they followed him, when they got to where he was, he was gone like he wasn't there before at all."
"Where did he go?, He was right here a second ago?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
What are you trying to do, My prince?, Whispered Zoisite to himself in a low voice, And Pegasus Seiya overheard him."
"Huh?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Nevermind, I was talking to myself, said Zoisite."
"Quickly let's go this way, maybe he was trying to show the way, said Chibi Moon."
"I guess you're right, let's go, I'm feeling something through my Cosmo up ahead but let's be careful, said Pegasus Seiya."
They went down the tunnel, Tuxedo Mask was at this tunnel, and it finally led them back to the others where they were fighting Kunzite."
"Nebula Chain!, Said Andromeda Shun, as his chain grabbed ahold of Kunzite's left arm where he held his sword."
Drop your sword.....Please!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Kunzite didn't say anything and was gonna use his free hand to shoot blasts of energy at Andromeda Shun until the others came to stop the Fighting with Zoisite jumping down to stop the fight, Pegasus Seiya and Chibi Moon came to Star Healer and Artemis."
"Kunzite, I would ask you to do so as he says, they're with me, as the leader of the Heavenly Kings, surely you out of all of us would understand them when they mean no harm to hear them out, unlike Jadeite or myself, or whatever Nephrite was doing when he accompanied them on Jupiter, said Zoisite."
"To this Kunzite decided to listen, he lowered his sword down and discharged his energy blast, Andromeda Shun's Chain let go of his left arm as Kunzite was not a threat anymore."
"Very well, it seems I missed judged, said Kunzite."
He put his sword away back in his sheath, he apologized for his actions."
"Please forgive me, for I was only doing what I must do to protect the Princess, said Kunzite."
"Now thinking about that, if you were protecting the Princesses who was giving you the order to do so, was it Persephone?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Persephone?, You mean the Queen of the Underworld?, No not really, however now you brought that into mind my body shouldn't be physical anymore, so would Zoisite's, however I can't remember the reason very well, said Kunzite."
Now that you brought it up, I could have sworn I heard my prince's voice telling me to stop fighting, it seems there's more going on when this silly game set by gods, said Zoisite."
"But who is your prince by the way?, Said Andromeda Shun."
That would be Prince Endymion, who was in love with The Moon Princess in the era of Silver Millennium, but since you're no threat to me or Zoisite, let alone my prince, will discuss this later, but I'll do what I can to redeem myself for my judgement, by helping you though the Caverns of Venus, said Kunzite."
"With that, Kunzite led the way that can take them to the Venus Temple, Once going to the correct passageway, Pegasus Seiya felt something and looked back for a moment seeing a little girl with the Hot pink hair and heart-shaped bun pigtails, she was only standing there looking at him, but although Seiya could say something about it, he decided to keep it to himself this time, he nodded over to her and she smiled at him."
"Chibi, said Chibi Chibi."
And then she ran off with Seiya watching her leave."
I don't know who she really is?, But she doesn't seem to be a threat?, Although I wouldn't understand anyone to be at that age, but whoever she truly is, I hope I can find out soon, and find out why she's following me?, Thought Pegasus Seiya."
He continued to follow the others down the Caverns of Venus."
