Note: Well, this
is the final chapter in the Mars series. I really hope you enjoy it. As you may
already know, I don't own Sailor Moon. Some other person does. So please don't
sue me. You wouldn't get much eitherJ. This is
my first fan-fic from the first-person point of view.
Please be kind with comments you may send (only constructive ones please). To
send them, e-mail me at pikoloo@hotmail.com.
Enjoy!
Part V:
August 13th, Silver Millennium,
The ships get closer. The Negaverse is a
force to be reckoned with indeed. I see why my father fell to them…why do the
spirits plague me with trials? We guard the Red Planet. We are the Sailor
Scouts, protectors of the universe. Yet all I want to be is a regular princess,
sleeping with my beloved prince, Ted. When I was young, I would do anything to
get out of my formal princess duties to practice sword-fighting in preparation
to defend Mars one day as it's queen, and I always thought of meditation as
boring. Now I am Queen, defending my planet as well as the rest of the
universe, yet I meditate every day, and I would give anything to just have my
regular life and my once boring princess duties…
August 17th,
Silver Millennium,
I had a vision at the temple today. What I
dreamt of seeing I have seen. My father and mother's spirits came to me. They
had a deep longing in both their eyes, faces and sweet voices. They told me
that I would face many more trials and that I would live what seemed to be
another life, on the nearby planet of Earth. They said that the negaverse would
indeed conquer Mars and that we must protect Earth at all costs. I reached out
with my hand to their ghostly figures. They drew back, for they said if I
touched them, the vision would end. They told me that I would indeed always
feel jealous and angry at Serena, for all of my life, but that I must try and
get over it. My face turned crimson with embarrassment as I realized that they
knew my thoughts of her. The scent of cherry blossoms invaded my nostrils and
their figures faded away. In their faint voices they said goodbye. I tried to
call out to them, but my mouth was clamped shut. I felt a pounding fist hitting
my chest and eventually out of lack of breath, the cherry smell put me to
sleep.
August 18th,
Silver Millennium,
The ships can be seen now in the night sky.
It leaves the generals little time to prepare. Even though Mars will fall, it
will not fall without a fight! The Sailor Scouts are ready to roll out their
powers as the Negaverse onslaught comes nearer. The battle of the Red Planet
will begin tomorrow. Even the negaverse needs time to plan things out.
August 20th,
Silver Millennium
On a space craft
headed for the Moon,
Mars was indeed taken, but the negaverse
has weakened a tiny amount. We are all going to the Moon to celebrate Serena's
engagement to Prince Darien. A flame burns my heart as I watch my home fade
into the distance. I look at the shimmering pearl on which the lucky brat
Serena lives. She lives there in elegance and luxury, while the other planets
fight for their puny little royal bottoms. I know I wrote something like that
earlier, but it is what I believe is the truth. At least the celebration will
raise morale for the troops that survived and the leaders too. They have all
sunk into depression, as have I. We have all lost our planets and let's all
face it, the Moon is our last hope.
Later,
I have finally realized it. We mustn't show
sadness around Serena for Serenity's sake. She cares so much for her daughter
that, well, she doesn't want her to know the bloody truth of what's happening
beyond her world of pleasantries. I will go to represent the fallen planet of
Mars. I will be cheerful for her majesty's sake. For I am Princess Ray,
Wow. That was the
longest and hardest thing I have ever written in my entire life!!!! Of course,
you could probably research all of this stuff and find that nothing here ever
actually happened, but hey, that's what fan-fiction is for right? As I
mentioned to you previously, I don't have the copyright to Sailor Moon, but I
DID create this story. It's ALL MINE and YOU can't use
it without my permission. So there! If you wanna ask
for my permission (or just send me comments, feedback etc.) e-mail me at pikoloo@hotmail.com. Thank you so much
for reading my fan-fic!!!!
