Chapter 8: The Castle of The Mariner
"Ugh, said Pegasus Seiya as he gets up."
He looked around him and there was snow on the shore-side where they had washed up, the harp he heard from earlier was loud this time around."
When looking up he saw Castle Marrier the castle they have been searching for a while now on Planet Mercury."
"Cygnus Hyoga did what Andromeda Shun told him to do in protecting Chibi Moon, he was holding her tight to his chest."
Andromeda Shun and Star Fighter are next to each other unconscious by rushing water that brought them up to the surface."
"Guys!, Wake up!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
But none of them seemed to be waking up."
But they were alive when he heard a goan from Star Fighter."
They're still alive that's good?, But what happened to Aluminum Siren?, Did she make it?, Thought Pegasus Seiya."
Pegasus Seiya doubted that Aluminum Siren even did make it, he did remember Star Fighter saying they had to kill her which was most likely the case on what happened to her."
"Pegasus Seiya felt a little upset because he would rather not let her die, but thinking about saying that she worked for Persephone gave him another thought."
So Persephone is resurrecting the Sailor Guardians enemies to attack us, even if they die in the past, they can't have a second chance it seems, Thought Pegasus Seiya."
"Chibi?"
"Pegasus Seiya heard this voice, and recognized it as the voice of the little girl from the docks."
He looked and there she was standing on the top step of blue crystal-like stairs, she was at the top looking down at him curiously."
Ah?!, Hey you're the little girl from the docks!, Who are you?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Chibi Chibi!, said The Little girl with a smile."
Is that all you can say is "Chibi"? Said Said Pegasus Seiya."
Chibi, said The little girl with a nod, Seiya tried to come up close to the little girl but then she ran off, Causing Pegasus Seiya to chase after her."
"Hey wait a minute come back, I'm not gonna hurt you, I just want you to tell me why you're here!, said Pegasus Seiya as he chased after him.
"Ugh?, Seiya?, Said Star Fighter as she Started to wake up she saw him run away, since she was awake she quickly went to wake the other."
"When Pegasus Seiya got to the top entrance of the Castle, he was surprised to see the Castle, but he also lost the little girl again who kept saying "Chibi Chibi".
Looking up at the Castle it was Blue, of course."
The Castle also seemed to look like a harp, and made of waves with the wave-like pattern of the Castle."
"This is Castle Marrier?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
"Please come inside, Seiya don't be shy."
"Huh?, Said Pegasus Seiya as he heard this voice."
It sounded like Queen Serenity, Pegasus Seiya walked into the castle, he didn't know why but felt like he must, so he did."
Walking on the ground of the Castle, stepping on the ground made ripple effects on the ground."
Pegasus Seiya then came into a large room and there he saw; The Princess.
"Princess Mercury was there playing her harp and sitting on her crystal-like throne, that had the Symbol of Mercury on it, which was also present on her forehead."
She didn't seem to look at Seiya or acknowledge him in her presence, she just continued to play the harp."
"Princess Mercury had a blue floor-length gown, a blue choker ribbon on her neck that lay down her back, a light blue second layer on her back waist, although it was hard to see since she was sitting."
There was also a blue necklace on her neck."
Princess Mercury?, Huh?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Seiya noticed a star-shaped pattern on her chest near her heart, perhaps the Mercury Crystal goes there and If they even know how to get the Crystal."
So far, there have been no signs of any more obstacles or Specter Saints."
"Does that star in the center of her chest is where the Mercury Crystal is supposed to be?, But she hasn't seemed to notice I'm standing in front of her, Thought Pegasus Seiya."
Finally Princess Mercury stopped playing her harp, she opened her eyes and Seiya could see there were no pupils in her eyes like she was dead or in a trance."
Pegasus Seiya and Princess Mercury only locked eyes with each other none of them said anything to each other, until there was a clapping sound like someone enjoying the music that was played."
"Pegasus Seiya tried and saw a man in a Tuxedo and top hat on his hand, his hair was black and his skin had a tan-like tone and a half shaved beard and Black Shoes."
Once he stopped clapping, he looked over to Pegasus Seiya with a grin."
"Yōma?, Said Princess Mercury with Curious in a manner."
That was a marvelous performance, Princess, don't you agree?, Tenma?, Said Yōma."
Tenma?, You've made a mistake, that isn't my name, It's Seiya, said Pegasus Seiya."
Seiya?...your name is different that's true, but not your Cloth that's the difference, said Yōma."
"My Cloth?, Wait you know I'm a Saint, who are you?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Yōma laughed again."
Didn't you hear what the princess said, my name is Yōma, and to be more correct, I am the guardian of the Princess and this Castle, to make it clear it isn't because you're a Saint of Athena that makes me despise you, but your Cloth to be exact, said Yōma as he glared at Pegasus Seiya."
"What?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Mephistopheles!, Said Yōma."
The moment Yōma called this name a Surplice appeared and disassembled itself to place itself onto Yōma."
"Allow me to give a proper greeting, Specter of the Heavenly Leader Star, Mephistopheles Yōma, Guardian the Mercury Princess and Mariner Castle, a pleasure to me you, Seiya is your name correct?, said Mephistopheles Yōma."
You're a Specter Saint?!, Said Pegasus Seiya as he got defensive, Yōma was the last guardian on Planet Mercury if they wished to save Sailor Mercury/Ami Mizuno they had to fight him."
"I see you are frighten that's good, and you should be anyway, although I would love to use my abilities on you, this place isn't exactly right for it, so we can go one on one as we please and see if it's really necessary to use our powers against one another, said Mephistopheles Yōma."
Yōma spoke very gentleman-like, and the others showed up."
"Seiya!, Said Chibi Moon."
The moment Chibi Moon entered the castle, her outfit transformed into a dress and the moon crescent appeared on her forehead."
Oh I see you have one of the Princesses, said Mephistopheles Yōma."
Princess?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
"Chibi Moon became Princess Usagi Small Lady Serenity or just Small Lady."
She was shy to even explain what was going on with her in the dress and didn't know how she Transformed into and out of places, here."
"I guess I can take her once I deal with you, Persephone has been looking for her that I know of, said Mephistopheles Yōma."
Andromeda Shun came closer to Small Lady protecting her."
"We're not letting you hurt Chibi Moon, you'll have to go through us, said Andromeda Shun."
Mephistopheles Yōma looked at Shun with Surprised but that turned into excitement."
"I see that'll be perfect, but what makes you say I'll hurt the princess, I guard Mercury, and that wouldn't be nice to harm a lady, said Mephistopheles Yōma."
Then how about this!, Star Serious Laser!, Said Star Fighter."
Star Fighter!, Wait a minute!, Said Cygnus Hyoga."
But it was too late, she commanded her attack to Hit Mephistopheles Yōma but within seconds her dodged the attack."
Really is that all you can do?, I would say the attack is pretty powerful, if I wasn't so foolish to stay in one spot, said Mephistopheles Yōma."
"Then Princess Mercury got up from her throne and walked down towards them from the dais where her throne sat upon."
Princess would you mind taking care of them, I'll be happy to take care of the boy wearing that cloth that doesn't belong to him, said Mephistopheles Yōma."
This cloth does belong to me, what are you saying!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
I'm saying you don't deserve to be wearing that cloth, I only know one person can wear it, and it isn't you!, Said Mephistopheles Yōma."
"Princess Mercury looked at Star Fighter, Andromeda Shun, Cygnus Hyoga and Small Lady."
"Ami?, Said Andromeda Shun."
The Necklace on Princess Mercury's neck transforms from blue to dark, and she called on to transform."
"Dark Power......Make Up!, Said Princess Mercury."
Princess Mercury then Transformed into Dark Mercury."
"You'll be punished at my hands, said Dark Mercury."
AMI!, Don't fight us we're not your enemy!, Said Andromeda Shun."
"Dark Mercury makes a sword of Ice and charges at Andromeda Shun since he called out first."
"Shun!, Look out!, Said Small Lady."
Before Dark Mercury could hit Cygnus Hyoga grabbed her Ice sword with his hands."
Blood already started to bleed through his palms as he held the Sword by its blade and tried to push it back."
"Ami, you don't have to do this......We came to rescue you!, Please come to your senses!, Said Cygnus Hyoga."
"What you say is false, my name isn't Ami Mizuno, I'm the Princess of Mercury, and you're trespassing!, Said Dark Mercury."
Pegasus Seiya tried to help the others but Mephistopheles Yōma kicked him causing him to fall on the ground, Mephistopheles Yōma then stepped on his chest."
You're forgetting about me, I'm your opponent, said Mephistopheles Yōma."
Ok!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Pegasus Seiya used both legs to kick Mephistopheles Yōma off of him he jumped up and landed on his feet."
"Pegasus Meteor Punch!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Mephistopheles Yōma dodged the attack but then was hit in the face by one of the punches."
He was surprised but only smiled as Pegasus Seiya found a cut in his face that he didn't know how it was infected."
Where did this cut come from?, Thought Pegasus Seiya."
You shouldn't be distracted, only the true wearer of Pegasus, would be able to see that minor attack, said Mephistopheles Yōma."
Pegasus Seiya was just getting annoyed by how Mephistopheles Yōma was acting aloof."
"Now let me show you more of that attack!, I dare you to dodge it!, Said Mephistopheles Yōma."
"The background of Mephistopheles Yōma's surplice had web-like wings that looked like cobwebs, they moved and Yōma grabbed them to throw spears at Pegasus Seiya, Seiya wasn't able to dodge as her threw multiple spears at Once and they all pinned Pegasus Seiya down to the wall of the Castle."
Dark Mercury fought with Cygnus Hyoga and Star Fighter tried to help Seiya but Dark Mercury intervened."
"Black Ice Freezing!, Said Dark Mercury."
Star Fighter!, Said Cygnus Hyoga."
Ah!, Said Star Fighter."
Star Fighter was hit and was frozen into ice."
Fighter!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
No!, Said Small Lady."
Who's next!, Anyone who tries to leave will end up like her!, Said Dark Mercury."
They stood still as they tried to figure out what to do Dark Mercury attacks all of them at once but didn't touch Small Lady, Pegasus Seiya could only watch as he couldn't move because of the spears."
He felt that strange feeling in his chest that caused him to feel stress out."
"Why's Mercury doing this!, After everything we went through to get here!....no perhaps she doesn't know what she is doing, if there's a way to just wake her and get her come to senses!, Thought Pegasus Seiya."
"But there is a way."
"Huh?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
He heard this voice call out to him."
"Use the power inside you, awaken new power, use what you learned to help her remember."
"Help her Remember?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
But Pegasus Seiya really couldn't do that pinned down but he wasn't alone and he knew who could help."
"Shun!, Hyoga!, Chibi Moon!, You've got to make her remember who she is!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Make her Remember?, Said Andromeda Shun."
How do we do that?!, Said Cygnus Hyoga."
Wait how do you know that would work?, Said Small Lady."
"I don't know, just try!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Dark Mercury attacked Andromeda Shun, he dodged."
"Mercury, do you remember when we met, somehow you'll know I'll come to save you, it's me Shun don't you recognize me!, said Andromeda Shun as he tried to make her remember."
"Shun?, Said Dark Mercury."
We met when I was taking classes at your school, we both had the same dream to be a doctor, and you helped me study, we all got along with each other, and you let me meet your friends don't you remember, Rei, Minako, Makoto and Usagi do you remember them!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Yes those names are familiar?, How do you know them, you shouldn't know them! said Dark Mercury."
"I only know them because I'm your friend too, Ami, please remember, I don't want to hurt you, I just want to help you, and help you get back to your friends they're in danger that's why we all came here, to help you, said Andromeda Shun
Dark Mercury put her hand on her Head."
Shun?, Said Dark Mercury as she remembered him."
Dark Mercury then looks at Hyoga."
"I remember you two?, Aren't you the guy who gave me that umbrella?, Are you a friend of Shun?, Said Dark Mercury."
Wait a minute that girl was you, said Cygnus Hyoga."
"Mercury, please don't hurt them, please do you know who I am?, Said Small Lady."
"You're Small Lady...No wait?, I don't call you that....not in this timeline?, You're Chibi-Usa?, And Sailor Chibi Moon, and I am, said Dark Mercury."
"Dark Mercury seemed to start to remember."
In this time you are Ami Mizuno, you were once a lonely girl who was smarter than anyone in her class, and for that people avoided you because they thought you were a Snob, however there was one girl who saw you differently and she was the heroine; Sailor Moon, However you may know her as Usagi Tsukino, said Zoisite as he appeared."
"Oh Zoisite you're alright?! We have you been!, Said Small Lady."
"It's a long story, seems I was dropped but it doesn't really matter, it was an accident caused by an annoying Mermaid, said Zoisite."
"Zoisite?, Said Dark Mercury."
In your past life, I was a lover of yours, in this world, I was an enemy, maybe I'm still am or maybe I'm both, but that doesn't matter, Mercury, please stop this rampage, Beacuse this is certainly something you would never do, especially to your friends... unless if your control to do so, said Zoisite."
"For some reason you're right?, Said Dark Mercury."
He is right, you were taken here by Persephone for your Mercury Crystal, however I'm the one who can form it physically as it is your heart and I'm your Sailor Power Guardian."
"Guardian Mercury appeared before Dark Mercury."
There's a mini version of Mercury?!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Hyoga, please help, you'll be her guardian, said Guardian Mercury."
Me?, What do you mean?, Said Cygnus Hyoga."
Ok I think I had enough of this!, Said Mephistopheles Yōma, as he attacked Hyoga."
Cygnus Hyoga's cloth was still damaged by the attack from Viluy, if he gets hit he might not make it, suddenly Cygnus Hyoga started glowing as Dark Mercury Rushed to him and Hugged him."
"Mercury?, Said Cygnus Hyoga."
Don't hurt him!, Said Dark Mercury as she shouts out."
"The Blue glow became bright and the ice that Frozed Star Fighter melted."
Huh what happened?, Said Star Fighter as she was confused."
She saw what was happening, Hyoga's Cloth Changed."
The Blue light protected both of them from Mephistopheles Yōma's Attack as three blue lights formed."
"One Blue light came out of the Super computer, another was held by Zoisite and it floated to them and the other light was the crystal shard they got from the Mercury Temple."
All of it was formed to create."
The Mercury Crystal."
"The Crystal?, Said Cygnus Hyoga."
"Dark Mercury looked at him as he held the Crystal, the Crystal disappears into Dark Mercury and she Transforms."
She becomes, Enteral Sailor Mercury."
"Hyoga?, Shun?, Said Sailor Mercury."
Ami, said Andromeda Shun as he smiled."
Star Fighter helped Pegasus Seiya by taking the Spears off of him that pinned him down."
Mephistopheles Yōma clapped his hands."
That was excellent, said Mephistopheles Yōma."
"You!, Said Sailor Mercury."
Well it seems you've defeated me by getting the Princess, don't think I'm done with all of you, but I think I'll spare you for now, as a magician's goodbye, said Mephistopheles Yōma."
"Farewell!, Said Mephistopheles Yōma."
In a puff of smoke, Mephistopheles Yōma disappeared."
"Well that just happened?, Seiya are you alright?, Said Star Fighter."
Um yeah, I am, I think but that Specter Saint, said Pegasus Seiya."
"Pegasus Seiya felt something, but he was feeling all kinds of strange feelings he never felt before, but what Mephistopheles Yōma said that Seiya didn't Deserve to wear the Pegasus Cloth, what did he mean by that, Seiya just couldn't understand it, and who did he mean by as Tenma, why did that name sound so familiar, but he didn't know why."
"They were soon brought back to Silver Millennium in a flash by Goddess Artemis."
Mercury!, Said Diana."
Oh Luna, Artemis, Diana, it's good to see you guys again, I'm so happy, said Sailor Mercury."
Sailor Mercury looked up at Goddess Artemis."
Um are you?, Said Sailor Mercury."
"She's the goddess, I'm named after, this also Artemis, said Artemis."
"Oh two Artemis....that might make it hard for me to remember, said Sailor Mercury."
You all must be exhausted, so I suggest you rest now, but we still have to save the others in due time, said Goddess Artemis."
And you'll tell us what we need to know more about what we're getting into here, said Pegasus Seiya."
Goddess Artemis smiled."
"Of course, Goddesses can never lie when they make a promise, those who do are not worthy of their Titles, they are bound to it for eternity, said Goddess Artemis."
"They have succeeded in Rescuing Sailor Mercury."
But there were more Sailor Guardians left that they had to Reawaken and get their Crystals back from Persephone."
"And Next will be Hot and Dangerous."
