Chapter 9: The Planet of Flames

"Once they were able to Rescue Ami Mizuno, they were able to take some rest at Silver Millennium before they were to go on the next mission, which was Mars and to Awaken Princess Mars; Rei Hino."
Seiya took his cloth off and found it can change into a Dog tag, which he hangs around his neck."

"But still he didn't understand about Chibi-Usa being a Princess even if Goddess Artemis had mentioned it before and she did transform into one when they got to Mariner Castle, and Mephistopheles Yōma recognized her as one."
Even though we had questions about Yōma, he tried to ignore it, and went to look for Chibi-Usa who he found sitting down looking up at Earth from the steps of Silver Millennium."

"Wow Earth is like the Moon itself from this Angle, said Seiya."
Oh....um yeah I guess you're right, said Chibi-Usa as she noticed him."
Seiya sits down next to Chibi-Usa, they were quiet and nervous and didn't say anything to each other until Chibi-Usa said something as she also had something to ask Seiya, which was an apology for not saying that she was also one of the Princesses."

"I'm sorry I didn't say anything about being a Princess myself, even if Artemis kind of said it before already, But I don't think me and the others have been very truthful with you or your friends, said Chibi-Usa."
"Well it really doesn't matter, well not to me at least, said Seiya."
Chibi-Usa looks at him, confused with his response."
What do you mean, said Chibi-Usa."

"Well, Sort of, I guess, I would find out eventually, said Seiya."
Why do you want to keep doing this, even with what you know now, is it for Athena and the world now, said Chibi-Usa."
Well that's true but, It doesn't really matter much, I know that's important but I want to help you and others....I just feel like I have too for some reason, and the enemies we faced so far seemed to be aggressive with me only for some reason, said Seiya."

"Seiya touched his chest, he always kept touching it recently, and he didn't know why, so he decided to tell Chibi-Usa about it."
Persephone is after the Planetary Crystals, but the Silver Crystal is the most important one, you seem to get nervous when it's brought up, yet Shun knows you have it, did something happen that made you feel like that, if it's ok I ask, said Seiya."
Chibi-Usa was already nervous when Seiya brought up the Silver Crystal, she told him she had hidden it."

"I hid it, but I can't explain where I hid it, it wasn't in an object or a place....but I think a person, said Chibi-Usa."
What?, Said Seiya confused how you would hide a crystal inside a human, Chibi-Usa shook her head and asked Seiya to forget about it."
Nevermind, I was just saying, I don't know if it's true or not, said Chibi-Usa."

"Chibi-Usa then touches Seiya's Chest when she looks at him, he becomes a little nervous."
Chibi-Usa?, Said Seiya."
Do you know why you touch you chest all the time, said Chibi-Usa."
"Um no, I just feel like something is inside me?, that's not really a part of me, do you know what it is, said Seiya."
Maybe, said Chibi-Usa."
Chibi-Usa stops touching him."
"I think I might know but I don't know how to say it or explain it, I don't know if it's really true either, and if I say it, you and the others will get mad at me, and I don't like it when people are mad at me, said Chibi-Usa."

"Seiya saw her face, Was with fear and she was upset just talking about it but reassured heard that you didn't have to say anything and that he wasn't mad at her."
But I'm not mad at you, maybe I would be a little but you'll be telling the truth so it's ok, I guess, said Seiya."
Seiya, said Chibi-Usa as she looked at him again."
If you want to tell me about it, then it's up to you, I won't force you to say it, you can keep it a secret as long as you need it to be, said Seiya."
Um ok, said Chibi-Usa Shyly."

"Chibi-Usa Wanted to tell him, the Silver Crystal must be inside him, and it was but she didn't know how to explain it, and if knowing he'll be in danger as the enemies will attack him, but he was also the type of person who faces danger even if he is in danger himself, he doesn't run away like anyone else would."

"Seiya, can I ask you to be careful, said Chibi-Usa."
Why, do you want me to be careful?, Said Seiya."
I am just saying.....I don't want you to get hurt, I don't want you to get hurt because of me, said Chibi-Usa."
Seiya doesn't force her to explain, he agrees he'll be careful."
"Ok then, I'll be careful, I'll do that for you, said Seiya."
Really?, Said Chibi-Usa."
Yeah, and I remember what I came here for, do you want to come back with me, to see how Mercury and the others are doing, said Seiya."
Ok, said Chibi-Usa."
They both leave together to go to the others who were in the control room."

"Sailor Mercury was already making the area her, "Home Base".
As she was fixing the computer system in Silver Millennium."
Shun and Hyoga were helping her."
"That should work, now we will be able to communicate better with each other when we travel between the Planets, said Sailor Mercury."
That's great Ami, said Shun."
You're really smart, Shun why haven't you let me meet Ami earlier?, Said Hyoga."
Shun Blushed in Embarrassment, but he had a good reason."
"Well, you were up in Siberia, and i sort of forgot to tell you, even you visited that last time....but Seiya was still in---, said Shun."

"Shun stopped talking because Chibi-Usa and Seiya already entered the room."
Hello guys, said Chibi-Usa."
Chibi-Usa, Seiya, good to see you two again, I just got done fixing the Computer System, with Hyoga and Shun's help of course, said Sailor Mercury."
That's great, I'm glad you're back to normal self Ami, said Chibi-Usa."
"It's good, but we definitely are gonna find a way to help the others the same way too, also what were you guys talking about?, said Seiya."
"Oh it's nothing?!, Said Shun."

"Goddess Artemis, The Starlights and The 3 cats in human forms entered the room with Zoisite as well."
"I see you already here, said Goddess Artemis."
That's good, listen we've discussed everything and with the information you told us what you found on Mercury, and we think we have come up with an answer to it, that can explain about the Memories and Enemies likely to be faced next, said Luna."
And I also have something else to tell you that you must know before you head to Mars....Soon, but first I'll let Luna and her Artemis explain their part first, said Goddess Artemis."

"Luna explained about the Dark Kingdom first, and Zoisite's past and death, she then focused on Chibi-Usa and the Black Moon Clan, then told about the Death Busters, Dead Moon Circus and finally The Sailor Animamates."
"Each one wanted to destroy the world and get the Silver Crystal, however the Sailor Guardians were able to defeat each of them, but to you, you might have noticed when other people may have seen or a news broadcast talking about, all of it was connected to the Enemies and the Sailor Guardians were the ones to stop it, said Luna."

"Ok then, but who is the Dead Moon Circus?, I don't believe we encountered them, said Seiya."
"Like in a short summary of them, but I'm not sure if we can say they had their minions resurrected too, only time can tell that, said Artemis."

"And as for me, I'd like to shed more information on this game, that Athena was able to get Persephone to accept, I used to play it alongside the two during the ages of Myth, said Goddess Artemis."
Goddess Artemis told them about this game it was only known as "The God's Game".
A Game played by Gods to Test Mortals, Weaknesses, Strength and Will that leads to Love and Determination to Protect it, in the god's view it was just to have fun fooling around with Human emotions."
"Persephone, liked to play this game with the other gods, mainly along with Aphrodite since the game involved love and she was the Goddess of Love, I along with Athena, played along with it too, although I really didn't care about it, Athena didn't like it but never showed her dislike, but she played anyway to make everyone happy, said Goddess Artemis."

"Really then, what does this game have to do with my friends and me?, Said Sailor Mercury."
That's something I can't really say as I don't understand it, it's not the same as the game played back then, you see the game is supposed to go like this and these are its rules, said Goddess Artemis."
She explained the Rules of The God's Game."
"A Person will travel to get to an area where a certain "prize" may be, mostly another human, they would go through memories challenging an entity in the form of someone or something from the past, if passed all, the second part would be to test if they still had their 'Will' to continue onwards, if not the may die or just die in general anyway as there's no turning back, said Goddess Artemis."

"That definitely sounds like the Tower and Temple, they had an enemy you called an "obstacle" from the Sailor Guardians past that Guarded them, and then when it comes to "Will" there was Sailor Aluminum Siren, who tried to stop us by trapping us in that dome to fight her, she also mentioned that Persephone resurrected her and that she now worked for her, and she hates this Sailor Guardian called Galaxia Beacuse she killed her for not believing her, and finally when we got to the castle was where the Specter Saint was, by the name of Mephistopheles Yōma who escaped alive, said Hyoga."
"I see that looks like it all that has to do with the Enemies faced and the supposed pattern, said Luna."

"What happened to the game afterwards, said Chibi-Usa."
Well the only answer I can say, is that everyone lost interest, including Aphrodite, but Persephone still liked the game, yet she seems to be obsessed with it too....I wonder if Hades gave her ways to let her play this game just to keep her as his Wife in the Underworld, said Goddess Artemis."

"Seiya looked at Goddess Artemis with a sarcastic look."
Really that's what happened to it?, Said Seiya."
She glared at him when, he said it but ignored him."

"You've failed me, Yōma, and after I unsealed you from your prison to do one thing, said Persephone."
My apologies, my goddess, but I seem to have let my amusement get ahold of me, but I'll make sure it doesn't happen again, If you're willing to give me a second chance, said Mephistopheles Yōma."
A second chance, you are a brother of Kronos in your past life, so I think I do have something there, but I'll inform you later, you may leave me, until I need you again, said Persephone."

"Mephistopheles Yōma did exactly what Persephone said and then left, suddenly there was a shake in Judecca like an earthquake."
An earthquake here in the underworld?, what's Gaea doing?, Said Persephone."
Persephone got up from her throne and looked for an open carved window she saw a blue light fly by heading to the Elysium Fields."
"That lights heading to the Fields of Elysium?, Kagaho, Go find where that light is going too, said Persephone."

"Indeed Lady Persephone, and I think I have a theory of where it's going, said Bennu Kagaho as he was behind Persephone and then disappeared to do the task she sent him on."

"That would be the light of Mercury, it shows that Sailor Mercury has been Reawakened, and has gained her false memories back as her own once again, the light may be going to someone in the fields that resides in a deep sleep to try and wake her, who is no other then the Moon Princess, however more will be needed to completely resurrect her."

"The Moon Princess...so she was here right under my nose, very well looks like Athena's Saints won this time but Mars is going to be much different than Mercury, because it's the opposite, as being more hot and known as The Planet of Flames, said Persephone."

"This Blue Shot right at the small temple, where Princess Serenity was kept and hit her body."
Saori and Helios witnessed this."
"What is this, light?, Said Saori."
I believe that would be the light of Sailor Mercury, she had been awakened and so now a small amount of power has been put into The Moon Princess and to try to awaken her as well, but more would be needed to do so, unfortunately, said Helios."
So The others have saved one of the Sailor Guardians, thank goodness, thought Saori."
I see this is where the light has been brought too?, Said Bennu Kagaho."

"Helios and Saori looked at Bennu Kagaho."
Since Saori is Athena, he was polite enough to bow down to her, Helios stood still and didn't speak allowing Saori to speak instead."
"You're Kagaho of the Bennu Cloth aren't you?, Said Saori."
Bennu Surplice, to be exact not 'Cloth' although it is one of alternate versions of cloths, like Robes of Asgard and Scales of Poseidon's Atlantis, or an unofficial version, Transformation Items that belong to Sailor Guardians before they have awaken there Sailor Crystals, but Lady Persephone's prefer name is Planetary Crystals said Bennu Kagaho."

"Bennu Kagaho got up and came a little closer to the shrine temple that Princess Serenity's Body laid on the Pedestal with Crystals, but he couldn't go any further because a force field had stopped him."
"As one who is powered by an Evil Star, you cannot enter this temple as it's Guarded by Pure energy, including myself, said Helios."
Really, I was sent by Persephone to see where this light led, and as the Priest who is bond to Elysion which is in Persephone's Domain, I have the right to step inside when it comes to her orders, wouldn't you agree, Athena?, Said Bennu Kagaho as he looked at her."

"Saori looked a bit hesitant."
He's Correct, Helios, said Saori."
Helios agreed with Saori."
"Very well, said Helios as he waved his hand and unlocked the barrier around the Temple, Bennu Kagaho entered and went over to Princess Serenity, he touched her face and she twitched a little with a little goan, showing she was asleep but Alive."
"So the Moon Princess was here along, Persephone would like to hear this, however she seems like she can't wake up, said Bennu Kagaho."
That would be because all of the Crystals haven't been collected yet, that power came from Mercury's Crystal, but she hasn't Completely woken up yet, said Helios."

"Bennu Kagaho smirked at Helios, it seemed to annoy the Elysion Priest a little as he glared back."
Very well then I see, but I'll have to inform my goddess anyway of this, just to make it clear, I hope to see that you lose, for the shake of Lady Persephone's goals, said Bennu Kagaho as he laughed a little until he disappeared."
Helios was angry but Saori held his hand."
I'm sure it will be ok, I have faith in them, as much as you, said Saori."

"I want to believe that, but it's hard when this place is supposed to be surrounded by beautiful dreams of humans, yet those Specters and whatever is happening with Persephone is tainting this place, I can feel it, and I don't like it, it makes my heartache and I don't know the reason of why, said Helios."

"Something is wrong with Persephone?, Said Saori as she looked confused."
Yes something bad, Persephone just like she was in myth was the same as always until Hades Death, but even now something much more has changed in her, something is manipulating her somehow, but I don't know what it is, said Helios."

"And I feel like we need to find that out."

"Pegasus Seiya was joined by Sailor Star Maker, Cygnus Hyoga, Andromeda Shun and Sailor Chibi Moon this time around as they landed on Mars."
Careful everyone, even though it's not really a possibility, Mars usually has a cold climate and is hostile, but I'm starting to sense life and the climate becoming hotter, possibly by Mars's presence on the Planet and the guardians of the tower and temple and others I'm certain of, but I can't calculate that much so far, said Sailor Mercury as she spoke to them though a communicators that Luna had made for them."

"Ok then, thanks for informing us, Mercury, said Sailor Star Maker."
And I'll make sure Kou, rests after everything, I still don't understand how you guys are handling it but I won't judge, said Yaten."
Well 'she' did get frozen by that attack, back there, 'he' and mean she might have some effects from it, said Cygnus Hyoga."
Yeah you might not want to question too much about our human forms, Cygnus, said Star Maker."
I did apologize to her about it, she says she's ok, so that's good, said Sailor Mercury

"The Planet of Mars, was different from Mercury."
It was all red, it was like a desert of Cinders."
She's right the heats already staring get to me, said Sailor Chibi Moon."
"First, Mercury was cold and misty, but this feels like we're walking though a Volcano, said Pegasus Seiya."

"It's like Kanon Island or Death Queen Island's volcanos to be exact by the heats Temperature, said Cygnus Hyoga."
Does the planet of Mars have Volcanoes?, Said Chibi Moon."
"Yeah, I think there are both I don't know how many, said Pegasus Seiya."

"Oh you mean the volcanos on Mars, there are many types of Volcanos on Mars, one in particular would be Olympus Mons, and it's 100 times larger in volume than the Mauna Loa Volcano in Hawaii, that's it's called the "Shield Volcano" as the lava drains gently down slopes of the mountain then what you would find on Earth, said Sailor Mercury."
Sailor Mercury Kind of went over the head with the information that it confused the saints to how she knew all of this and that she said it very quickly."
Mercury, I believe that's enough information on Volcanoes for now, said Goddess Artemis."

"Yeah um, thanks for that Information, like we really needed to know all of that, said Star Maker sarcastically."
Oh sorry, I get carried away like that sometimes, but of course Shun and Chibi Moon would already know that by now, said Sailor Mercury."
That's something I can agree with you on, said Andromeda Shun."
Totally, said Chibi Moon."

"Suddenly something was detected coming towards the group, which Goddess Artemis had picked up."
Something's coming your way be careful!, Said Goddess Artemis."
Where?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
I think it's underground?, I'm getting a reading for the surface, said Sailor Mercury."
I believe I know what is causing it, said Zoisite."
Sailor Mercury, looked at him."
You do?, Said Sailor Mercury."

"Back on Mars, the dust and cinders formed around the Saint and guardians on the Planet, they looked to be made out of a Clay substance from the ground, and formed monsters faces, with a female slim structure."
They are made of Clay!, Said Star Maker."
You will not go any further, if you take at least one step, my monsters will attack you, you should stay where you are with Patience into who you are encouraging here, said the voice of a young man similar to Zoisite's voice."

"A man appeared in front of them, same as Zoisite he was a knight of Prince Endymion."
Knight of Patience and Harmony, I am Jadeite, said Jadeite."
Jadeite?, Said Chibi Moon."

"Of course it was him, Jadeite, Don't attack them they are friends not enemies, said Zoisite."
Jadeite could hear Zoisite through Pegasus Seiya's communicator."
"Zoisite?, Really is this some kind of trick or have you become skittish, Zoisite joining up with the Enemy, said Jadetie."
We're not an Enemy, what Zoisite says is true, we came to find Princess Mars, said Pegasus Seiya."
Princess Mars is in a state of meditation, if I were you, I wouldn't interrupt her, even if she's far away from us physically at the castle of Phobos and Deimos, her Spiritual power reaches throughout the Planet's core, said Jadeite."

"Then she knows we're here?, Said Andromeda Shun."
If you wish to pass, then you'll have to prove your strength to me, said Jadeite."
Jadeite took out his sword and the Clay Monsters became defensive as well."
Do we have to fight all of these knights, Thought Pegasus Seiya."

"Jadeite attacks them and so do the Clay Monsters as they all attacked On cue."
Star Gentle Uterus!, Said Star Maker."
Diamond Dust!, Said Cygnus Hyoga."
Star Maker and Cygnus Hyoga destroyed the Clay Monsters but more just kept on being created."
"It's no use more of them just keep forming!, Said Star Maker."
Maker, if you want to kill all of them you have to after Jadeite, he's the one who is controlling them, said Sailor Mercury."
That bastard won't even listen, you need to knock some sense into him, said Zoisite."
Zoisite!, Don't be rude!, Said Luna."

"Pegasus Seiya fought with Jadeite, and Jadeite tried to freeze with his cryokinetic attack."
But with the heat of Mars it melted the Ice making the ability useless against Pegasus Seiya."
Pegasus Meteor Punch!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Jadeite tries to use teleportation Dodge the attack but Chibi Moon and Andromeda Shun distract him."
Pink Sugar Heart Attack!, Said Chibi Moon."
Great Capture!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Jadeite is hit in the face with Pink Suger and tangled up in The Nebula Chain until he is hit by the meteor punch."

"This Knocks him down and the Clay Monsters fade away turning back into dust that blows away in The Winds of Mars."
Is that enough to prove to you, said Star Maker."
Your cleverness Is strong, that's all I will say, said Jadeite before he disappeared and became a Gem just like Zoisite."
Pegasus Seiya Picked up the Jadeite Gem."
Well that deals with one that kings of heaven, said Pegasus Seiya."
The Gem glowed and disappeared from Pegasus Seiya's hand."
I'll take the Gem of Jadeite back to Silver Millennium, you should continue on to the Mars Temple, it's nearby according to Mercury's findings, said Goddess Artemis."

"The others agreed and headed to the Mars Temple."
Andromeda Shun stopped for a moment after sensing something nearby."
Huh?, Said Andromeda Shun."
Shun?, Is something wrong?, Said Chibi Moon."
Oh it's nothing, I just felt something but it's nothing to worry about, said Andromeda Shun."
Um ok then, said Chibi Moon."
"And they went to follow the others to the Temple of Passion."
