Chapter 36: The Tower in Shadows

"The Mysterious Woman they were told about, with her Lanterns of Purple Flames, Her white dress, Long blonde hair that looked a bit dusty covered by a transparent Vail, a lot of gems were accessorized on her."
The Lanterns she held, an oil lamp held by her left hand 5 rings on her fingers chained to hold up the lamp with 6 flames all colored in light purple."
And on her right hand, was a Hellenistic Lamp, she held it from her palm near her waist, it only had one single purple flame."
She smiled at them as they looked at her."

"You're the one Saturn calls Dione?, Said Dragon Shiryu."
Yes indeed that was me, I've been watching over since you arrived, and have been waiting too, but since you've come and have seen the memories of Saturn in her past, you now know me a little, so you may call me Dione if you wish, I'll like to help guide you to Titan Castle safely, said Dione."
Guide us?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Indeed, now shall we go, follow me and I'll take you out of the temple, and be sure to carry Saturn's scythe with care, said Dione, and she walked away......or more like she looked to have disappeared but reappeared the second when she came to the way that was the supposed exit."
The others although confused, and felt a little suspicious about Dione, decided to put a little trust in her, so they listened and followed, Capricorn Shura held the Silence Glaive as they left the temple."
"Even though like the others, I don't know who Dione is, but I can feel like I could trust her and so can the others, so I want to believe her, Thought Chibi Moon, as she wanted to trust Dione."

"They left the Saturn temple, and during so Pegasus Seiya tried to ask questions to Dione on who she was and why she wanted to help them."
Dione I know you say that you want to help us, but how can we know that we're able to trust you, when we really don't know how you're still alive, If Saturn knew you from her Past memories, we couldn't understand everything in the temple, said Pegasus Seiya."
"Dione smiled and giggled a little bit on his question."
I wouldn't be surprised, Saturn's past was mysterious, it had to be that way to keep her safe, that's what Zeus told Selene, he had kept Saturn in a deep sleep due to her soul when she was born being touched by Cronus's Blood, you see during the Titanomachy, the War of the Titans, when Zeus attacked his father he cut him with his lightning bolt some of his energy fell on Saturn's soul which he was trying to use to make him stronger enough to defeat his son who will dethroned him, and so that's how it got tainted but it also helped formed Saturn's body, that was the first memory, in the second I was the one in charge to protect Saturn and I brought the Sailor Guardians of the outer planets to the planet of Saturn to awaken the princess, as that's what the talismans were for when Queen Serenity gave them to those chosen guardians, said Dione."

"And like you said in the memory, you lied to them?, Said Andromeda Shun."
Dione however didn't seem to answer this and kept quiet, Shun didn't repeat his question as it seemed Dione didn't want to answer it, they came by and saw more of the Shadowy ghosts wandering around."
Although the others were quick to hide Dione said it was alright as they wouldn't hurt them."
"It's ok, they won't hurt you, especially since they won't come near us because of my light, said Dione as she held up the oil lamp which hung from her fingers."
They could see the figures look at them but not come near and avoid going near the light, passing them as like a person walking around on a sidewalk or something."
"What are they really?, Said Sagittarius Aiolos."
They seem to not come closer to us with you around?, Said Capricorn Shura."
"Well I'm sure you know what they are, there shades like just me, unfortunately they don't have their souls as there in the underworld, these are just remnants of them during the last point of their lives, said Dione."

"The saints seemed surprised by it since they knew what a "Shade" was."
You said that in the temple, but what is a Shade?, Said Chibi Moon."
"I wasn't really that focused on it before when you said it in the temple that you're a "Shade who wanders Saturn" yet you're different from these shades, said Sagittarius Aiolos."
Dione agreed."
Yes you are correct I am different aren't I, but unfortunately I wouldn't really know why, all I remember was waking up here and I understood everything somehow, I don't know what my purpose is yet, but I know you're here to save Princess Saturn, but to answer your question little guardian, whose named Chibi Moon, said Dione, as she looked at Chibi Moon."
"Shades are ghosts who reside in the underworld, and unfortunately that's all the questions I'll answer now, as I must take you to the Tower of Saturn so please follow me, said Dione, as she continued to walk away."

"They understood Dione's answer although surprised she was a shade, they followed her to the Saturn Tower, like the Temple it seemed to be in ruins but this stood still."
It was covered with Black and green vines something that made Chibi Moon feel a bit uneasy after seeing them."
"Chibi Moon is something wrong?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Uh no, nothing really I just have an odd feeling, but it's nothing, the tower's just pretty creepy then the others, said Chibi Moon."
"You're right it is pretty creepy, is there a reason for this Dione?, Dione?, Said Andromeda Shun, as he looked around."
While they were looking at the tower, Dione seemed to disappear."
"She's gone again, well that's just great, said Pegasus Seiya, annoyed."
I'm sure we'll see here again, after all she's just a shade, she may not be able to keep her form very long, said Capricorn Shura."
When he said this, the door to the tower that was made of wood, opened itself up and they heard Dione's voice."

"You may have a point on that, but it's alright, please come inside now, I've never been in the tower myself but I feel drawn to it just as you, even if you can't see me in the moment my lantern can still guide you to where am I."

"They went into the tower, and on the Towers similar to many of the others, Hotaru's birthday was there along with the year."
Saturn was Reborn as Hotaru Tomoe on January 6th 1981, to Souichi and Keiko Tomoe."
There was a bunch of laughs and giggles from baby Hotaru and her parents who showed their love for her."
Hotaru, my beautiful little specimen, said Souichi."
Oh Souichi there you go with your occupation getting in the way on this special day, said Keiko."
Uh right.....I mean daughter, my mistake but she is a creation of our love and science can also be a part of it, said Souichi."
Keiko gigged at that."
I guess you're right, and I'm sure the experiment you've been working on lately would be a success, maybe Hotaru when she gets older will be a little assistant, although if it's not dangerous, said Keiko."
Don't worry about it Keiko, I would never put our daughter into harm's way..... I'm sure of it, said Souichi."

"That's where the conversation ended, with Hotaru's Parents, it was similar to Rei's parents being all happy and peaceful, but the dread hung heavy of terrible things to come, And Chibi Moon knew about it."
Capricorn Shura seemed to intently look at this memory he recognized the voice of Souichi Tomoe, the name Hotaru and he was certain of something especially looking up at the Silence Glaive which he held in his hands."
"I believe I may have met Hotaru's Father before?, There was something about it and it was only recent, I believe this occurred before my battle between you Dragon, said Capricorn Shura as he looked at Dragon Shiryu."
Dragon Shiryu was confused on what Capricorn Shura meant by it, but known what fight he was referring too."
"I see, these memories might show something like it, it happened similarly for me at the Jupiter tower since I know Sailor Jupiter when she was young with the others, you'll find out more of it later I guess, said Dragon Shiryu."

"They went to the Second floor of the tower, where it had a date to when this memory had taken place, which was in 1987, Hotaru was only 6 years old then."
It was in Souichi's Laboratory, Keiko was there with Hotaru as they looked at what Souichi was working on, and it was no surprise Hotaru was amazed by it all, it was a strange experiment at best but from what could be seen from it, it had something to do with DNA and Biology, and something extraterrestrial from notebooks and hypothesis's."
As the whole Floor of the Saturn Tower Resembled that Laboratory and that terrifying year."

"Wow!!!, Said Hotaru, as she looked through the glass of something that looked like a mini galaxy moving around kept inside."
Hotaru, come over here don't go too close, said Keiko."
You're mother's right Hotaru, although it is lovely, keeping distance is important as it may become harmful from staying in one spot for so long, said Souichi."
Ok daddy, you're right I have to listen to what you and momma tell me, said Hotaru."
Keiko gigged."
You're very reasonable for your age, isn't she, said Keiko as she looked to her husband for an answer."
Indeed, said Souichi."
Suddenly Souichi was called over by a woman in a lab coat who had long red hair and golden earrings, discussing something important that she needed to discuss with him about mentioning the weather in the process."

"Hotaru went to her mother, she was only wearing a white dress with black shoes and a light purple knitted sweater, her mother wore a formal outfit, with a dark purple dress and black jacket, along with dark purple high heels."
"Sorry Keiko, work calls I must step out for a moment and speak with Kuromine about something, I'll be right back, it also may be best to leave the lab so we can go home together, said Souichi."
Alright then, come on Hotaru it's time to go?, said Keiko."
Hotaru had run off again to look at something else when Souichi left the lab, Keiko a little bit annoyed but held her impatience back and let her Daughter explore around a little more, however something in her told her else wise, a danger of some kind that Keiko took off her coat, and rushed over to her Daughter Hotaru to protect her."
HOTARU!, Yelled Keiko, as she embraced her."
Mom?, Said Hotaru."

"There was then an explosion, as Lightning struck the Building the lab was located in, everything that was inside the lab exploded right in front of them, as fire burst out and covered everything."
Hotaru wiggled herself out of her mother's grasp, looking back at her mother, she was passed out, and trapped under debris."
"Mommy?, Mommy?, Mommy wake up?, Wake up?, Mommy please I'm scared!, Said Hotaru, as she shook her mom."
But Keiko did not move, Hotaru saw a glow under her mother and she picked it up, it was some kind of crystal, it looked familiar to Hotaru enough to calm her down a little in this terrifying moment."

"HOTARU, KEIKO!!!!!"

"Hotaru heard her father's voice call out to her, she got up and tried to go to father, but with all the black smoke and fire around her she couldn't see anything, she could only hear her dad screaming, so he called out to him."
"Daddy!, Daddy!, Mommy's hurt!, Please daddy where are you!, Daddy!, Said Hotaru, as she started to cry."
Hotaru could hear dad call out to her, and she tried to follow it, but suddenly as the fire collapsed around her, the roof above her fell, and she could only see darkness."
Everything is quiet and silent, Hotaru is scared she's in somewhere dark which feels so heavy and painful."
"Why is it so dark?, Please someone help me!, Thought Hotaru."
There was a glow, something bright, Hotaru couldn't tell its color but she felt the heaviness around her being lifted up and her body becoming light again."

"The memory seemed to switch perspectives from Hotaru, to then her Father; Souichi, he was with Kaori Kuromine, the woman who he was talking to when the accident occurred, fire was everywhere and he couldn't go to his Daughter and wife who were trapped inside the lab especially with all the dangerous equipment that was inside."
"Hotaru!, Keiko!, Yelled Souichi."
But he was grabbed by Kaori, who yelled at him not to go in, warning of the danger."
"Professor!, I know you're worried about your family but you can't go in there it's dangerous!, You'll just make yourself a casualty too! If you do that, we have to evacuate everyone in the building!, Said Kaori."
Souichi then moved away from Kaori's grasp, he looked at her with fear in his eyes."
"I can't leave my family!, I heard Hotaru if I can just save her that's all that matters!, You go evacuate everyone else!, But I'm not leaving Hotaru!, I can't let my work hurt my family! Said Souichi."
Souichi then rushed into the fire and blazed out the laboratory calling for Keiko and Hotaru again."

"He could hear Kaori yelling at him again, calling him "Professor Tomoe", but he didn't listen, he found a fire extinguisher when he couldn't go any further into the lab and used it to put out the fire around him."
The sprinklers finally turned on putting out all the Fire, and Smoke piled up, Souichi made it through and when he noticed a figure in the smoke, he saw Keiko buried under the rubble and rushed to her."
"KEIKO!, Yelled Souichi."
Souichi touched her but he couldn't tell if she was alive or not, But someone called out to him otherwise to tell that she was gone."

"It's useless to try and wake her, she risked her life to protect the child, however it wasn't enough, the Child is hurt badly, even if she does survive, she'll be left in a lot of pain for the rest of her life, no matter the technology Humans outside of sanctuary can learn."

"The smoke cleared, and Souichi saw Capricorn Shura, who held his daughter in his arms, her legs and arms were severely injured and a lot more that couldn't really be described."

"Hotaru!, Said Souichi, in a shocked calm voice, as he saw his daughter in Shuna's arms."
On her forehead, the Symbol of Saturn had happened and glowed."
Capricorn Shura looked at this, he remembered something about it when seeing this."
"That name means "Firefly" In Japanese doesn't it?, They are a symbol of death in your mythology, a beautiful name but also an unlikely one as Fireflies don't really live longlives, said Capricorn Shura, he formed his head into a blade."
Hotaru weakly opened her eyes a little and she could see Shuna."
Daddy?, My body hurts, please make the pain go away, said Hotaru."
Sorry but this is the only way she doesn't have to suffer anymore, said Capricorn Shura."
Capricorn Shura was gonna use Excalibur on Hotaru to put her out of her misery and pain, but suddenly he was grabbed by his hand before he could strike Hotaru."

"NO!, PLEASE DON'T!"

"Souichi had stopped Capricorn Shura from using Excalibur to kill Hotaru, he was crying and bulging out."
"No please!, Don't kill my daughter!, She's all I have left!, Please don't kill Hotaru!, Said Souichi."

"The Symbol of Saturn disappeared from Hotaru's forehead, and she went back to a deep sleep."
Capricorn Shura could see the desperate pain of Souichi, and of course he didn't really care much about it, it was his job here to put the child to rest however he heard a voice call him back, he lowered his and then he shoved the unconscious Hotaru into Souichi's arms before walking away."
Very well, you can keep her, but remember there is a supposed silence to occur she might become involved then, if you love her as a father does, protect her then, said Capricorn Shura, with a golden glow of his Cosmo, Shuna leaves from what remains of the laboratory, Hotaru was still holding the Crystal in her hands."
Souichi was confused, but with his daughter in hand he tried to wake her, but Hotaru couldn't wake up."
Hotaru?......HOTARU!, Said Souichi."

"That's where the memory ended, Capricorn Shura looked surprised as he seemed to not remember this moment yet it was shown right in front of him and everyone else."
"You saved Hotaru?, But why did you try to kill her?, Said Chibi Moon."
I don't know, but I believe that happened when I was called back to Sanctuary, because of the battle that was occurring over Athena, I believe the Pope mentioned something about the Silence before, I was confused then as I'm now, said Capricorn Shura."
"I don't think it has to be of any concern, it was in the past, and It also seems these memories not only show Hotaru Tomoe's memories but also Her father's as well, perhaps there's a reason for that?, Said Sagittarius Aiolos."
Dione's voice then spoke again."

"It's true, I don't know the reason but that woman that was her mother, she's familiar somehow to me, I don't know the answer though, but I believe you did the right thing Capricorn to let Hotaru live, because she wouldn't have met someone very special to her."

"Dione had reappeared and was standing near the threshold of the stairway which led to the next floor, she was looked at Chibi Moon when mentioning about how Hotaru wouldn't have met someone special to her if Capricorn Shura didn't spare Hotaru's fated life."
The others seem to understand this a little when knowing of Chibi Moon's friendship with Saturn, they then followed Dione to the next floor which seemed to resemble a hospital's operation room."
Souichi Tomoe and his Assistant; Kaori Kuromine appeared in the memory about to perform an operation, Hotaru was there unconscious laying on the operating table, covered by bair hugger; a type of blanket used for these types of procedures."

"Souichi Tomoe wanted to save his Daughter Hotaru, no matter what technology would work on her, the experiment he had been researching all this time and held in the laboratory where the fire that took Keiko away and Injured Hotaru held those exact experiments and studies into extraterrestrial life from another Galaxy, Kaori Kuromine assisted in helping him during this operation."
As Kaori came close to performing the operation with Souichi the power in the building went out, sounds of lightning heard from outside as they looked confused about what was going on."

"Huh?, A blackout?, Said Kaori."
Suddenly a black cloud came from out of nowhere as a blackish egg shaped object Appeared floating."
Where did that Egg come from?, Said Souichi."
This "Egg" then rushed towards Kaori Kuromine and targeted her forehead as Kaori started to scream in pain."
AHHHH?!, Yelled Kaori, as she collapsed on the ground."
Are you ok?!, Kaori!, Said Souichi."
There was a short explosion, When Souichi opened his eyes to see what was going on, he saw Kaori Kuromine covered in a glowing red aura and wearing a black dress unlike the scrubs she was wearing earlier."
Kaori?, What in the?, She's? Said Souichi."

"Kaori checked herself and she looked confused but felt a surge power through her body."
"Uh?, What's this light?, I feel different?, Said Kaori."
A dark voice spoken to Kaori."
"It appears your vesselization was successful."
Kaori communicated with the Dark voice talking to her, a dark void with bright white eyes had formed around the room."
"Vesselization?, Said Kaori."
"I am Master; Pharaoh 90, lend me your loyalty, if you do?, I shall give you even more power and grant you the title of magus."
During this Kaori started to scream in pain, Souichi just watched everything gone on confused by it all."
Kaori reached over to the void of Pharaoh 90 pledging herself to be loyal to him."
"I pledged myself!, How may I serve you master!, Said Kaori."

"Pharaoh 90, told what Kaori had to do."
"Collect Human Hosts, and implant our eggs into vessels for the sake of our grant Resurrection, and to make this land into our second mother planet."
"A Black Star appeared on Kaori's head for a moment before disappearing, Kaori became serious as she understood her master's orders."
"Understood Master, if that is your wish then I shall fulfill it, I live to serve you, Master Pharaoh 90, said Kaori."
Souichi looked at this and Kaori looked over to him with Pharaoh 90."
"Kaori?, What happened to you?, Said Souichi."
I'm no longer Kaori Kuromine, you now refer to me as Magus Kaolinite, now Souichi Tomoe come join us and be a vessel for our master, said Kaolinite as she presented a Damion egg to Souichi."
Are you sure about this?, Said Souichi."

"That Egg is of Germatoid, you will devour it to gain the Knowledge and power to seek, far beyond the humanity of this planet."

"Souichi remembered what Capricorn Shura said to him when encountering the Gold Saint who would have put his daughter out of her painful state."
"she'll be left in a lot of pain for the rest of her life, no matter the technology Humans outside of the sanctuary can learn."
"Souichi looked over at Hotaru on the Operating table when thinking about this and holding the Damion Egg."
I'll do this for you Hotaru, I'll learn knowledge outside of humility in order to perfect my experiments of super life forms, and ensure your well-being has no pain unlike that man in gold armor said, that's exactly what I will do!, Said Souichi, with an insane look in his eyes."

"Souichi lifted up the Egg and then dropped it into his mouth before swallowing it and becoming Germatoid."
During this, a Time-Skip happened showing when Pharaoh 90 gave Professor Tomoe, another Damion Egg."
"This is the Egg of my former partner from a previous life, Mistress 9, it is imperative you receive her vesselization do not fail!".
"Yes Sir, said Professor Tomoe, as he took ahold of Mistress 9's egg."
Another Time-Skip happened and there was a Hospital room where Hotaru was in, Professor Tomoe came into the room as he had chosen the vessel that was right for Mistress 9."

"Mistress 9?, And vesselization?, Said Andromeda Shun, something about this memory hit a chord with him as he seemed to got nervous understanding it."
"Chibi Moon do you know who Mistress 9?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Um yeah a little I only know she was an enemy using Hotaru's body....but I don't like talking about it?, Said Chibi Moon."
Dione decided to explain it."
"Although I don't know much from the memory you can tell that Pharaoh 90 is an Evil entity mentioning to vessel something or someone, I believe you could understand that part right?, Like when a God or Goddess chooses a host, although in this case Mistress 9 was an entity of pure evil".
"Let's continue to go, I'm sure we can find out who Mistress 9 is that way?, Said Andromeda Shun."
Chibi Moon looked at Shun, and she understood him and what he meant."
"I definitely could feel an understanding of that?, When I was the vessel for Hades I didn't have control over myself, Hotaru must have had the same thing, thought Andromeda Shun."

"They went to the next floor where another memory played."
And in this room that resembled the hospital room from earlier, it was covered with stuffed animals, as though it was not a room in a hospital but a child's bedroom."
This was where Hotaru had woken up, she had been in her coma for about 4 years, it was now 1991, according to a calendar on the wall which circled the day on it; January 6th, Hotaru's birthday, sitting in a desk a woman with long red hair in a lab coat, writing something like a report, a staff with a black star besides her."
"Uh?, Mommy?, Said Hotaru, as she held onto a teddy bear."
She thought the woman at the desk was her mother, but when the woman turned around to look at Hotaru, it was just Kaolinite, who smiled at Hotaru."
I see you've awakened quite well mistress?, I'll inform the professor of this, hold on a moment, said Kaolinite, and she left the room, Hotaru closed her eyes and passed out again only waking up when hearing her father's voice."

"Daddy?, Said Hotaru, as she looked up at her Father."
But something about him was different, he smiled at her, but his glasses, had some kind of star-shaped eye on the right side of the round glasses, and something about him was different."
Hotaru, it's good to see you're finally awake, everything was a success, said Professor Tomoe."
A success?, What do you mean?, Where's mommy?, Said Hotaru."
Professor Tomoe didn't seem to answer Hotaru's questions he only smiled."
I'll like you to try and stand up for me Hotaru, I need to make sure your prosthetics work perfectly, said Professor Tomoe."
Prosthetics?, Said Hotaru, confused."

"Hotaru got up from the bed and took the blanket off of her, in shock she could see the veins and muscles of her body from her arms and legs."
Hotaru was shocked by seeing metal in the parts of her body."
What happened to me?!, What is this!, Daddy!, Said Hotaru."
Don't be afraid Hotaru dear, these cyborg parts are to help you regain some normalcy from that accident 4 years ago now, unfortunately Keiko didn't survive, but I assure you, everything's gonna be alright.......My little specimen, said Professor Tomoe."
Hotaru was now 10 years old, and she had been in a coma for 4 years, now feeling different, she didn't feel the same, she noticed she was different."
Since then, she noticed her father's assistant Kaori Kuromine or Kaolinite being around her father a lot, and she grew a hatred towards Kaolinite not liking her getting the love and affection from her father that he used to give to her mother."

"Seeing the others memories of Hotaru's life the moment she got out of the Hospital, and started to have her normal life, she began having seizures and panic attacks of an apocalypse."
Which the others could see for themselves, she had nightmares with three figures with mystical treasures, who looked at her hatefully."
"Who are they?, Why do they hate me?, I don't like it?, All this pain hurts?!, Said Hotaru."

"Here take this, it was your mother's, perhaps that will help you?."

"Kaolinite was holding out a Crystal, this Crystal was the Taioron Crystal."
Hotaru takes the Crystal away from Kaolinite, and then Kaolinite leaves the bedroom, the crystal's power as Hotaru could feel it, it helped soothe the pains she had from her seizures, the memories also shifted from Hotaru's School life when she transferred to the School her father created; Mugen Academy."
However even with Hotaru being the Daughter of Headmaster of the school, she was constantly bullied by some of the students, who also called her creepy when a burst of anger appeared."
One incident happened when she had another Seizure and was going to the Nurse's office but was stopped by two girls, when she dropped her Crystal."

"Oh what's this, is this something special to you Tomoe?."
"Please don't touch it, it's mine please give it back!, Said Hotaru."
"I don't think so, I kind of like to keep it for myself!, My family owns a jewelry store they could probably turn it into a nice ring!."
"No you can't do that!, Give it back!, Agh!, Said Hotaru, as her attack was getting worse she felt dizzy."
Everything black out soon after, and Hotaru woke up in the nurse's office, the nurse at the desk had dark skin, and long black-greenish hair with a mini bun in it."
She was writing in the logbook when Hotaru woke up."
Oh you've woken up, how are you feeling, Mis. Tomoe?, Said The Nurse."
Hotaru got up in a panic and remembered what had happened she was looking for her crystal, but the nurse had it on her desk and gave it back to her."
This is yours right, I was able to get it back from those girls, said the nurse."

"Hotaru took the crystal, she was glad she had back but she looked up at the Nurse seeing her face and asked what happened to her while she was passed out."
What happened to me when I was unconscious?, Said Hotaru."
The nurse looked a bit worried about how to explain it."
I don't think it's of concern, you had a seizure and collapsed unconscious, I had to look through your medical records and they've said you've had these seizures for your whole life that must be hard to handle, but your father and the headmistress will be taking care of the girls, that's all I'm really allowed to say, classes are also now over, so it's about time you've gone home, let me help you take you to the office, it's the least I can do, said The Nurse."

"The nurse helped Hotaru, and Hotaru just had a feeling that the nurse looked familiar to her, so she asked that."
Mis, I've never seen you around that school before are you new?, Said Hotaru."
The nurse smiled."
I suppose you could say that, I'm only filling in for the regular nurse so I'm a substitute, my name is Setsuna Meiou, but as a nurse, calling me "Meiou" would be better, said Nurse Meiou."

"When leaving the Nurse's office, some students who were still there seeing Hotaru became scared and quickly walked away, it wasn't until the next day, Hotaru found what had happened to the girls picking on her, she had "attacked" them, but had no memory of it, one of the girl's the one who took the Taioron Crystal from her had gone insane."
Hotaru was avoided more by the students because of this, Hotaru felt lonely."

"Well that was just rude, I mean what they did to her!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
I'm starting to wonder if-.....I never mind, it wouldn't really be anything to bring up otherwise, said Capricorn Shura."
Chibi Moon looked a bit upset seeing these memories, no one really talked about Hotaru's past when she was the daughter of Souichi Tomoe and Keiko Tomoe, Hotaru never brought it up nor did the Sailor Guardians again after Hotaru was reborn, and it was understandable as Hotaru was given a new life and what happened in the past as what was seen didn't seem to matter anymore."
"That nurse was Setsuna Meiou, isn't she Sailor Pluto?, Said Sagittarius Aiolos."
Sailor Pluto?, She was the one who was frightened by this Scythe?, She seemed to recognize it?, Said Capricorn Shura, as he looked at it when hold it."
"Dione then said;

"I believe there might be an explanation, because I remembered when Saturn was in her deep sleep, Hades gave that Scythe to her, because she'll use it to do the Reset, I think it was mostly because he liked his sword to represent him more so not to get rid of it, he gave the Scythe to Saturn and it was Renamed The Silence Glaive, although i don't know which original name."

"The saints seemed surprised by this."
The Silence Glaive used to belong to Hades?!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Well I guess that's another way to connect to her title's death side, said Dragon Shiryu."
They decided to go up to the next floor, Pegasus Seiya started to notice Chibi Moon was getting nervous and asked her about it."
The memories Started to involve the Sailor Guardians more as continued on and it became clear to what Dione had mentioned about someone very special to Hotaru."
It was 1993, now in memory and it was outside of Mugen Academy, Hotaru was having another Seizure at the back entrance, hyperventilating she didn't notice when Chibi-Usa had appeared to her."

"Hey are you alright?, Said Chibi-Usa, she tried to touch Hotaru."
But Hotaru pushed her away from her hand to leave her alone."
I get these attacks a lot, they usually pass on their own, please go away!, Said Hotaru."
Chibi-Usa was confused."
Your Hurt?, Said Chibi-Usa."
This area is off limits, you shouldn't be here, said Hotaru, as she tries to tell Chibi-Usa to leave."
But that wasn't really happening when Usagi in a Mugen Academy uniform showed up asking why she was there."
Chibi-Usa what are you doing here?, Why aren't you with Mamo?, Said Usagi."
My hat flew off when I was on the roller coaster earlier, I came to get it and found her, I think she's in pain, what do we do?, Do we call for help?, Said Chibi-Usa.'
Usagi seemed to be more surprised that Hotaru was wearing a Mugen Academy uniform, but there was more when Damion appeared and Usagi and Chibi-Usa had to fight it, during this Chibi Moon saved Hotaru, as Hotaru witness the whole fight."

"We fight for love and justice, and protect the innocent, said Chibi Moon as she explained about the Sailor Guardians to Hotaru."
During this Hotaru notice, Chibi Moon had a scratch on her right arm after she protected Hotaru when the Damion almost went after her."
You're Hurt?, said Hotaru."
Chibi Moon was surprised by it as she didn't notice that injury."
Oh?!, I didn't notice?, Said Chibi Moon."
Hotaru suddenly placed her hand onto Chibi Moon's scratch, and there was a glow as Hotaru healed Chibi Moon's injury."
There that should do it, said Hotaru."
You healed me?, Said Chibi Moon."
Suddenly a voice was heard calling for Hotaru."
"You need to leave now, said Hotaru."
The Sailor Guardians understood this and Mamoru who was there took Chibi Moon and they left."
The one who was looking for Hotaru was her Father; Professor Tomoe, the conversation between them was not heard, But Hotaru went to her father anyway."

"They went into the next floor where the Memories started to get a lot darker from there, as they walked up the steps there were cracks seen in the walls."
Dione spoke of a warning, since she seemed to feel something."
"I'm feeling something bad up ahead, I don't know where but you should be careful, these memories might be a little disturbing for some."
Pegasus Seiya looked down to Chibi Moon and he held her hand when seeing that she was scared, her hand was shaking when she touched it."
She looked up at him."
"Seiya?, Said Chibi Moon."
Are you alright you seem like you're getting a little scared going up here?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Chibi Moon could see she could not hide it."

"I'm already, it's just seeing Hotaru's memories and I know we've all been saying this since the beginning, it is sort of uncomfortable to me, mostly Hotaru's memories, although this was her past when she was Mr. Tomoe's daughter, I can see more of what I didn't know about her, and that no one really ever brought it up again after she was reborn, I'm not making any sense aren't I, said Chibi Moon."
Well I wouldn't really understand why she was reborn, but I believe that's not something we should be concerned about, she had a new life it sounds like from the memories we've seen so far and so that is good right, said Sagittarius Aiolos."
Yeah it was, said Chibi Moon."
Andromeda Shun looked around he was thinking about What they saw from Souichi Tomoe perspective of the events."
"I don't really understand, but this feeling is a lot different from that unnecessary guilt I felt at the Neptune Tower due to Michiru's relationship with Aphrodite.....but I really don't like that feeling of that Entity Pharaoh 90 or This Mistress 9, they seem to be the main leaders of the Death Busters, from what Luna and the others said from that beginning when telling us about the Villains we seem to be facing...... however I did notice there isn't a lot of those guardians in the towers or temples of Saturn is there a reason for that?, Thought Andromeda Shun."

"As they continued to get to the top of the tower, Mistress 9 in the memories show herself, she seemed to look similar to Keiko Tomoe, if Hotaru had grown up."
The Sailor Chibi Moon from the memories, was looked at by Mistress 9, but the memory cut off from there."
"No this is not me!, Don't look at it!".
That's what they heard, it sounded like Hotaru's voice."
Dione soon appeared before them, she looked confused looking at these memories."
"Is something wrong?, Why did it cut off?, Said Capricorn Shura."
"Saturn may not want this memory to be seen, I could understand that, that woman she became was not her but that Egg which was implanted inside her as a child, by the one who should have cared for her like cared for her?, Said Dione."
They didn't quite understand Dione, Dione was mysterious, she said she was a ghost called a Shade in Greek myth, but why was she on Saturn, and wanted to guide them "safety" to The Castle of Saturn, there were a lot of Questions but looking into confusion of Dione's eyes told she seemed to not really know a lot of answers except only in Hotaru's Memories but that's doesn't mean she didn't know something about Hotaru's past when she was Princess Saturn in the Silver Millennium Era."

"Dione?, Do you know what's going on here?, Said Dragon Shiryu."
Dione looked at them."
"Well mentally I don't know what's going on here, but I understand some, I've never been in the tower so this is my first time seeing these memories like you are?, Said Dione."
"I don't believe this has to do with the Memories of Hotaru Tomoe at the moment, there's something else, why do you want to help us, said Capricorn Shura."
Because I know you can save Saturn, she means a lot to me, and that's why I want to help, there's a lot more danger here than what Time has prepared, so I'll guide you safely, that's all I'll say but you'll soon learn more I'm Sure of it, said Dione."

"They didn't question Dione further, and continued with the last memories of the Tower, the memories of when Sailor Saturn Reawakened, and then scarified herself to defeat Pharaoh 90, she was reborn as Hotaru, but as a infant and took care of by the Outer Sailor Guardians whom she had feared before but the misunderstanding between them had settled with Sailor Moon's help."
During this Saturn rapidly grew and then the memory's years turned to 1998."

"Hotaru was 17 years old in The Memory, she was in her room she shared with Setsuna Meiou, Haruka Tenou and Michiru Kaiou."
However she was the only one who was home at the time."
Reading a Book at her desk after doing her homework, the room was dark and only lit up by the Desk lamp, she senses something dark, she closes her book calmly."
In a quiet voice she spoke her phase to transform."
Saturn Enteral Power, Make Up, Whispered Hotaru."
There was an Explosion after this moment, glass from the large windows in the room which led out to the backyard had shattered some of the shards being used as projectiles in the attack."

"Silence Wall!".

"Once the debis from the explosion, Sailor Saturn stepped out holding the Silence Glaive in hand and facing who shot the attack."

"She blocked it?!".

"There seemed to be some Specters around the area, Sailor Saturn could sense everyone on their presence and calmly call out to them.
"The Silence of the wind does not disappoint nor can the Crashing of Waves when I know something wrong it only takes time to figure it out, show yourselves to me for hiding isn't going to be of use, said Sailor Saturn."
This irritated some of the Specters who went in to attack her."
"Are you a bunch of idiots?, I had to call for reinforcements which are you guys to help deal with the Princesses of the Outer Cosmos who will not heed to the Lady Persephone's orders, and you just waste your new lives to serve my Goddess."
Silence Glaive Surprise!, Said Sailor Saturn."
With a swing of her Silence Glaive a blast of Purple energy cut though all of the Specters in front of her."
Another blast hit her, and she quickly blocked it with Silence Wall again, then came face to face with who attacked her."
"It was the Specter of the Celestial Violent Star, Bennu Kagaho."

"Are you the one leading them?, Who are you?, Said Sailor Saturn."
She faces her Silence Glaive at Bennu Kagaho."
"For some princess who uses the Scythe that Represents Death, and what once was a weapon associated with my goddess's spouse, you have the nerve to use it against me, which I wouldn't care about, but I have orders not to harm you, so I suggest you do the same for me, even if it won't be an issue, said Bennu Kagaho."
Sailor Saturn was confused."
Who is your Goddess?, And what does she want with me?, Said Sailor Saturn."
"She doesn't want it to be just you but the Princesses, your service to this world ended years ago and you fail to end it all during that Omega area cataclysm, which my goddess isn't very pleased about, but she'll spare you since you are a Princess and one guarded by the sacred planets, the main reason is that I'm here to take you to Elysium for safekeeping, said Bennu Kagaho."

"Elysium?, Why take me and the guardians there?, And for what purpose?, Said Sailor Saturn."
Bennu Kagaho didn't say anything else but Sighed."
Persuasion may not work for you, it's for the crystals you carry and that's all I'm allowed to say, how about I make it easy for you if you just come along, said Bennu Kagaho."
"Not happening!, Said Sailor Saturn, as she refused."
She then attacked Bennu Kagaho."
"You've made a mistake, said Bennu Kagaho."

"The Attacks only seemed to last for a couple of Seconds, when Bennu Kagaho used Dark Heat Manipulation to break through Silence Wall when Sailor Saturn tried to use it again, but she didn't give up which annoyed Bennu Kagaho but he seemed a bit amused by her fighting and will not give up."
Silence Glaive Surprise!, Said Sailor Saturn."
Corona Blast!, Said Bennu Kagaho."
Due to the heat wave caused by Bennu's Heat Manipulation, Saturn found herself collapsing from it a little but when she got back up she had no way of dodging Bennu Kagaho's attack and was hit."
Sailor Saturn was knocked unconscious, dropping her Silence Glaive to the ground."

"Well that deals with you I suppose, but I admired that fighting spirit of yours, definitely different from when you were this Hotaru Tomoe, but now you're just someone else just Named Hotaru, which In Japanese means Firefly, and fireflies bring souls to the underworld, where Elysium resides, said Bennu Kagaho."
Bennu Kagaho looked up at the Moon as it shined over the House that belonged to the Outer Sailor Guardians and the surrounding open yard."
Now that you're out of the way, the remaining specters will take you back to Elysium, while I'll wait for this Haruka Tenou to show up, she's the Recarnation of Princess Uranus, and Yōma can do whatever he wants with his niece where she's at, said Bennu Kagaho."

"And then finally this can all be over with, the collection of all Princesses of The Solar system."
