Chapter 1 : Awakening of Mercury.

Lita stood in her apartment, looking out into the rain. Another year had
gone by since her parents' deaths. Only thing was that this time she was alone.
Before she always had Ken there to comfort her, but now he was gone.
To France, with that woman Alinoë. 'Oh, why do I care about that anyway?
It's not like he was mine to lose. No, he was never mine
and now I've lost him forever. I can't let him break me.
At least I've got a meaning now. To protect Serena. I wont fail her.'

That dreadful day when he left me, I was awoken.
It was like a mist had disappered, everything was so clear. I choosed to be totally
devoted to school and Serena. I did get into some fights, but still I was
totally devoted to Serena, And of course my friends. My real friends that
won't desert me just because of a girl or a boy. The members in our Gang
are Amy and Greg, Raye and Chad, Minako and Erik, Serena and Darien. And then
there's me. They all have someone that loves them, except me. I thought
that I had Ken, but he chose Alinoë instead. Now I'm standing
here, mourning for my parents alone in the dark.
What was it Rini said when she was controlled by Wiseman?
"You're born alone, you live alone and you die alone." She sure was right.
You live alone and you die alone.


After a while we discovered many things, there was a new enemy; Sailor Galaxia
and her animamates. An evil Senshi, I never thought there would be an evil senshi.
It was under one of her attacks that we discovered who Greg was.
Greg was Mercury Knight, protector of Sailor Mercury, and her fiancé.
Who would've thought that good old reliable Greg would be a knight from the past.

*Flashback*

The battle was rough and hard. Sailor Iron Mouse was launching her attacks
on us. Dodge, punch, kick, dodge, throw, and attack was the pattern we all were
following. She was just toying with us, waiting for one of us to make a mistake.
Mars layed motionless on the ground, she'd been hit with an attack. Everyone
else had other marks. Blood gushed from a wound over Venus left eye.
Uranus left arm was broken, Neptune seemed to be fine.
But we knew she couldn't keep up much longer since that blow to her head.
Poor Saturn had been carelessley thrown into a tree like a raggdoll.
I had managed to avoid the attacks, but I was getting tired.
After a while it came, it was Mercury who didn't have any energy left.
And after she had launched her attack, she collapsed. I remember it so clearly.

"Mercury Aqua Raphsody" screamed Sailor Mercury. After she launched the
attack she collapsed to the ground, half unconcius.
Iron Mouse saw her chance and attacked, Mecury braced her self for the
impact but It never came. Instead she heard a painful scream.
She looked up to se Greg in front of her, taking the attack
meant for her. She saw his face disorted in pain.
She saw how badley burnt his body was from the attack.
She cradled his body in her lap and cried, she didn't seem to care if she
her self was hit. The world just seemed to stop.

"Aww. Did he save you? To bad it was only temporary. There're no instead of,
there's only first and second." Those words seemed to give Mercury power.
With a new determination she stood up. Her eyes were a blaze,
though she'd been hit many times her aura seemed to project power. Raw power.
No, it didn't project power, it scremed power.
It scremed for revenge, it scremed for her death. Murder were in the eyes of mercury.
She said: "He's dead. He gave his life for me, so that I could continue to fight you.
I wont fail him. You will pay." Enraged Mercury scremed the words : "Mercury Aqua Mirage"
The attack sped towards Iron Mouse who stood there laughing.
"You think you can hurt me with a little water, you pathetic cry baby"
she mocked her. But the smile faded away when she was hit by Mercurys attack.
Iron Mouse scremed in pain when the jets of ice water hit her.
Then another voice was heard:
"Mercury Enchanting Spear!"
A spear of water and ice hit Iron Mouse right after Mercury's attack faded away.
The pain was intense, first Mercurys attack then this. Right before she vanished she hissed:
"I'll be back and then you will regret this". Iron Mouse vanished in a blur.
But she'd been beaten, another day would come.

Mercury turned to the source of the new attack. She gasped when she saw Greg
standing there. He wore the same kind of armor that Darien had when he was
Endymion. Except his was blac and blue. The places that were grey on Dariens armor,
were blue on Gregs. His cape was black to, but was blue on the inside.
"Greg?" asked Amy.
"It's me honey. I knew something was going to happen tonight, but I didn't
expect this" said Greg.

"So we got our selves a Cape boy and an Ice boy now" said Raye.
"Shut up Raye and let's get back to the temple" said Lita.
"My my, someone seems to have woken up on the wrong side of bed today" said Raye.
"No, but we shouldn't be here in case Iron Mouse shows up" said Lita.
"She's right, everyone let's go" said Serena.

*END FLASHBACK*

At The Temple.
"Luna do you know anything about Sailor Mercury having a protector?" asked Lita.
"Well now that you mention it, you all had a protector. Except Haruka and
Michiru. Strange, I didn't remember it untill now." said Luna.
"Why didn't they have protectors?" asked Serena.
"It seems like they didn't have any because of their relationship" stated Luna.
"Oh, I see" said Serena.
"Who did I have? asked Mina.
- Serena had Darien, Shinosaki was Litaa's, Raye had Yuchirrou
and you, Mina, had Takeshi" said Luna.
"Why don't we remember them?"
"I think I know the answer" announced a voice........
