"Ken??" exclaimed Lita, "What are you doing?" "Ehh..He he. Hi everyone."
"That's Ken?" whispered Minako, "He's a hunk you know." A sweat drop
appeared above Litas head. "Um, I hadn't noticed that Minako."
"If I was blind, I'd see that the guy's hunk." "Okay, Now what
are you doing here Ken?" "I saw you walk here and I wanted to know what
you were doing." "Exactly what did you hear?" Harukas voice demanded an
answer. "Umm. Something about senshis betraying. I didn't hear anything
about you being the senshis. Honest!" Serena motioned to the others
to come closer. "What shall we do? Should we tell him or let Luna erase
his memories?" asked Serena. "You can't erase his memory. It would
disrupt the time line. We must tell him." "To tell him would be the right
decison, your highness" said Hotaru. "Hotaru I thought I told you no to call
me that." "Sorry, old habits die hard." "But we will tell him right?" asked
Iku. "We will tell him." said Serena with a determind voice. "Who should
tell him?" asked Chuuko. "I think Lita should do it. After all, they were close
before." said Michiru. "I agree, it should be Lita." said Amy. Everyone
looked at Lita who nodded. "I'll tell him." "Okay, let's give Lita time
to tell Ken about this. Meeting here tomorrow, same time." said Serena.
"Okay" answered everyone and they turned back to Ken. "Lita will explain
everything to you when she feels it the right time. Just don't go and talk
about this." said Serena. After Serena had finished speaking, Lita made a
motion towards the door to make Ken follow her. Lita kept her pace up and
walked to her apartment. Ken was desperatley trying to keep up with Litas pace.
Lita pulled out her key and opened the door to her apartment. Ken had just
gotten there, heavily panting from the ^Walk^ to Litas aparment.
"Sit down, I'll make some tea. You're going to need it." said Lita and
went inside the kitchen. Ken took of his jacket and sat down in the
comfortable sofa in the living room. A moment later, Lita came out
with tea and some cookies. She pored tea in both of the cups and
motioned towards the cookies. "Take one, it's your favourite."
"Double Chocolate Chip cookies?" "Double Chocolate Chip cookies" said
Lita with a smile. "I missed them," Ken paused and looked down in his cup.
Then he looked straight into her eyes. "I missed you to Lee." whispered
Ken. "Then why?" "Why did I go with Alinoë? Why I got engaged to her?
I don't know. At first I thought she was irritating and boring. But then
it changed. Suddenley I felt something for her, that I never had felt for
her earlier. It was like honey to a bee. I wanted her badliy." "But still.
Why didn't you say something to me? You could've at least told me instead of
sending an invitation card to your wedding." "I know Lee. It's not a good
excuse, it's not even an excuse. Every time I was about to call you or book
a ticket so I could see you, Alinoë always came and interrupted me. If I ever
said a word about you, she'd start a fight. It was like she was jealous
and I don't know why." "But I know. It sticks together with the stuff
I'm supposed to tell you about. It all started..."
Lita started telling the tale, how the Silver Millenia fell, the defeat of
Beryl and Metallica, the sad tale of Ali and Ann, The black moon familys
attack. They had talked for hours, they had begun at two o'clock after having
tea and cookies. Finaly, they had arrived at the present. "Every people have
a star seed. But there's only one Star seed that Galaxia wants. We managed
to turn her anima mated back to normal senshis, now she's alone. Galaxia
was once a Senshi, she was called the golden senshi. She fought Chaos
and managed to seal it inside of her self. But Chaos corrupted her from within.
She turned evil and started to take over the universe. According to Chuuko or
Iron Mouse, Galaxia sensed a huge amount of power inside of you. She took
a disguise as Alinoë and seduced you, kep you under her thrall." "All the
time I thoght I liked her, it was actually a spell." Ken shook his head.
"I should have known." "How could you? Galaxia is an extremely powerful
senshi. Wait a minute, how come you're not with her now. You couldn't have
broken the spell unless..." "I woke up one day and looked down at her.
I realized that she was nothing. That day was yesterday, I broke the
engagement and booked a ticket to get here as soon as possible. I..If..
Oh..," Ken seemed to wage a war in his head. Then he looked up again.
"If it hadn't been for Alinoë...I was going to ask you out the same day
she came. I've wanted to ask you out ever since Freddie. But you just
moved on, not noticing me." Lita looked down at her hands. "I did notice you,
I just didn't want to risk anything. I didn't want you to get hurt."
"It wouldn't matter, I'd rather have a second with you then an eternity
without you." A tear made it's way down Litas cheek. Ken cupped
her chin and dried of the tear. He slowly leaned down and kissed her
softly. "Will you go out with me Lita?" "I'd love to." "I think this
is why I could break the spell. The first thought I thought was she's
not Lita." "Oh Ken...If thing only were simpler." "What's to stop
us from going out? I want to and you want to. There's nothing to
stop us." "Oh, but there is." said a new voice.
"Mangetsu? What are you doing here?" "Another talking cat?" "*hmpf*
I resent that. I am the personal advisor to the Princess of Jupiter."
"If you'd start explaining to him what's happened more and especialy
what's happened with you." said Mangetsu. "Alright. As I said, we managed
to turn the anima mates back to normal. Galaxia had destroyed their galaxy
and killed all senshis except them. She made them her slaves, using them.
In the last fight with the last remaining evil anima mates, I was attacked
when I wasn't transformed. The others came and helped me, Venus knight was
ordered to take me away. He jumped away with me, away from the battle. But
about three blocks from the battle, I died." "You died? But you're here,
how can you be here?" "Calm down young man, she's getting to it." said Mangetsu.
"I died, but my parents from this time and my mother from the Silver Millenia
saved me. It was then I was changed. I finaly recived my birthright. I had
new powers and a big staff. I got to the battle in time and saved the others.
I collapsed on my bed that night when i came home. That night, dreamed.
About a wonderful planet, Jupiter. With a huge population and an advisor
acting as a regent. I found out that Jupiter actually had survived the attack
and that they were waiting for me to return and seize the throne. But I learened
of something else." "Wow. Your people still lives and waits for you. I didn't
think anyone could survive the attack." "Mangetsu here was with me when I woke up
the next day. He explained it all to me. There's a prophecy about me,
the incarnation of the Supreme Goddess." "You're a goddess??" "She is,
that's why you can't go out with her. She's destined to Jupiter Knight
and only him. He's her soulmate." "And if we find him, I'll have to see
to that he's either not awakened or kill him if he turns evil."
"My god Lita." "That's me." said Lita with a weak smile. I can't understand
how you can bear this. I mean, knowing that you're an incarnation of a goddess
and the fact that you might have to kill your own soul mate" said Ken
while thinking 'that's not me'. "You get used to it. Hopefully, he won't rise
yet." Lita looked at a clock. "We should get to bed now. You can take the guest
room. You know where to find it." Lita rose and took the empty tea cups and plate.
Ken sat in the guest room thinking about what he'd been told. He fiddled
with somehting small in his hand. 'I never should've left her.
Now I'll never know'. A tear slipped down his cheek as he put the old
engagement ring in his pocket. The ring his father gave to his mother
the night he proposed. Ken sighed and slipped under the covers. He didn't hear
the heated discussion in the room down the hall.
"You can not go ou with him! That's final." "Why not? Who's going to
stop me?" "I will stop you. You may be the incarnation of The Supreme
Goddess, but you have a duty to your people. You won't go out with him!"
"You're just a cat. How are you going to stop me?" screamed Lita and marshed
into her bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror, She wanted to go out
with him. But no, she had a duty. Blah blah wuf wuf. She breezed into her room
not caring about Mangetsu. She climbed on her bed and slipped under the covers.
She slept uneasily, tossing and turning in her bed. Once again, Lita dreamed.
She saw herself walking away with Mangetsu, instinctly she knew it was the
last day they had seen eachother alive before the fall. She noticed a tear
sliding down his cheek and that he clutched something in his right hand.
"You'll never know now, Mako." He opened his hand. On his palm layed a
ring made of pure platinum with an emerald in the middle and sapphires
surronding it. "Why didn't I ask earlier." asked Shinosaki into the night.
The wind seemed to whisper. "Yeesss....Whhyy.." A luaghter was heard.
Shinosaki swirled around with his hand on his broad sword handle. "Who's
there?" A person with a long black cloak wrapped tightly around it's body
moved towards him. "Just little me" said the person before throwing back the
hood. "Beryl!" "Charmed to meet you. My my, what a fine speciment you are.
If I didn't have my orders, I'd probably claim you for my self." with that
Beryl lashed out with her hand. From her hand a ball of negative energy
emerged, speeding towards Shinosaki. With that Lita woke up screaming,
she sat there in her bed straight up. It was then she noticed the
beeping from her communicator. "Jupiter here." "Jupiter, you better
hurry. There's a huge youma outside Starlight Tower." said Sailor Mercury.
"I'll be there." Lita transformed quickly, welcoming the rush of
power flowing through her. She opened her balcony door and
jumped on to a roof across the street. Knowing that her friends was
in really big trouble, Jupiter teleported her self to the tower.
The sight that greeted was gruesome. Only Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask and Saturn
knight was concious. The rest lay motionless on the street. "Finaly!" rumbled
the youma. It started to shimmer and flicker. A dark hole appeared on it's
chest and started spreading. The hole soon engulfed the youma. The place where
it stood was pitch black. Then it disappeared, in the youmas place stood
Galaxia. "Now I can begin." with that Galaxia attacked the last senshis
standing. "Galaxia Solar Wind!" Waves of light washed over them.
Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask collapsed. "Sorry Lita, I couldn't hold on."
whispered Sailor Moon before she lost concious. "You didn't fail,
the opposite infact." With that Jupiter focused and the Senshis
and knights started glowing. They lifted from the ground
and then in a flash, they were gone. Jupiter nodded towards Saturn Knight.
"Let's get this over." Jupiter now had her staff in her hands, she felt
it's weight and looked on it. Then she looked up at Galaxia with malice.
"Jupiter Morning Star Evoulution!" "Saturn Death Moons!" The attacks combined
and headed towards Galaxia. Galaxia stood there, right in the middle of the attacks.
The attacks vanished about a foot from Galaxia. "You didn't think I was
prepared this time?" said Galaxia with a smile. "Think again, I will have the
Jovian star seed!" Again Galaxia attacked, this time the attack was much more
powerfull. "Galaxia Solar Wind!"
At the same time, Ken layed in the bed tossing and turning. He dreamed,
people everywhere. Whipsering. "Wake up...Wake up...Wake up..." The whispers
escalated into normal talking tone. Then someone shouted. "Wake up!" Ken
immedealey opened his eyes, sitting straight up in the bed........
