Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Divine
Chapter Five - Going From One Door to Earth


        "I am the pretty sailor suited soldier, Divine Sailor Moon! In the name of the Moon and Crystal Tokyo, I will punish you!"
        Sailor Moon´s light throbbed and broke apart the shade as it pulled back into a dim form of a human. White eyes opened, blinded by a gray sheen as the gaping, dripping hole called its mouth opened. It gave a inhumane screech, the air echoing as the group covered their ears in pain.
        Sailor Moon was no longer Parallel but in her Divine form. Her head still retained the odango ornaments, the beads but she had a tiara with a pink moon in its center, and pink crescent moons studs. Her choker was pink, with a simplified white rabbit´s head. Her collar was still stripeless, violet-blue. She still had her rabbit brooch and the bows were the same save for the additional long red tails coming from the center. She had the same gloves and the same shoes but her waistband was a flat pink with a yellow crescent moon in its center. She hadn´t any shoulder rolls but loose pink fabric. Her skirt was two-layered, top violet-blue, the other red.
        She wove her fingers in the air, the Papillion Scepter forming. "Moon Charm Illumination!" Light gathered from the crystal, spreading to the butterfly wings as she wove it in the air again and again, energy sweeping out as she aimed.
        The beast screeched, reaching up as it was hit. The blackness was chipped away before a white being was seen for just seconds before it dispersed in the air like dust.
        "Sailor Moon!" Kousagi felt exhausted, her body falling out of transformation. As she did, so did the others. Tendouko looked worried but she didn´t approach as the others crowded her.
        "Tendouko?" She jumped as a hand touched her. Sailor Cosmos was watching her. "I´m sorry."
        And she turned away, leaving in a teleportation.
        "She´s just an enigma, isn´t she?" Elysium began. Tendouko didn´t hear him as she turned and he promptly screamed. "MY TAIL!"
        She winced as he curled, whimpering. "Once was enough, twice was just rude!" He glared.
        "I´m sorry, do you want me to kiss it?"
        "What in the world would that do?" Elysium growled, flushing. "Sheesh! Besides.." He began to clean his tail. "I.. can.. blah... it tastes like dirt.."
        "Then stop cleaning it!"
        "It´s my nature!"
        "ew..."
        "What was that for?"
        "I just imagined what you where cleaning off and what it -could- be," Tendouko walked around as Elysium slowly stilled, staring at his tail.
        "I can never clean myself again.." He groaned. "Did you have to say that!?"

        "Have you reached a decision?" Lady Serenity asked gently. Kousagi stood in front, her head down at her feet.
        "Mama.." She looked up, her eyes tearing. "I don´t know.. I can´t leave Tendouko.."
        "Who says she´s staying?"
        Tendouko turned in surprise. "Kassidy? Oceane, Duscha, Primavera, what are you all doing here?"
        "We talked it over with Tendouko," Oceane nodded. "She´s going to come along."
        "Yea but we had to not mention.." Primavera began but Duscha coughed delicately.
        "You didn´t mention me, you mean?" Kousagi turned toward her mother. "I don´t understand... what made her change? Was it me being gone for so long or something I said?"
        "I wish I knew," Lady Serenity sighed tiredly. "I have attempted to talk but I´m always called away. I´m sure as her older sister, you can figure it out. I want you to watch out for her, Kousagi. She´s more fragile than I had imagined.."
        Kousagi watched her mother´s worried face, a pain going through her. She wondered if she had felt that same emotions when she herself was gone? ‘She probably did, dummy,´ Kousagi berated herself.
        "So how DID you convince her?" Kousagi asked curiously.
        "We threatened her!" Kassidy beamed. "That´d we tie her down and drag her. If we were going, so was she!"
        "Yes but you had the gall to pull the rope from your person," Primavera snorted. "She was terrified!"
        "Of what? Little ol´ me? What could I possibly do?" Kassidy frowned.
        "Loads, apparently," Primavera stuck her tongue out.
        "What´s that supposed to mean? You´re a pain!"
        "I´m not the crybaby!"
        "At least I don´t wear diapers!"
        "I DON´T WEAR DIAPERS!"
        "Well, technically, you did at one point," Duscha began.
        "STAY OUT OF IT!" Kassidy and Primavera shouted before resuming their argument.
        "Whee," Oceane covered her face with a free hand, the other one twirling in the air in a half-hearted motion. "I have to take this twenty-four hours a day. I need a hobby on my own."
        "I have a few ideas you might like," Duscha offered.
        "Yea, while they´re arguing, let´s leave," Primavera nodded smartly. The two of them curtsied to Lady Serenity and Kousagi. "We shall take our leave, my Ladies."

        "Lune, huh?" Elysium studied the other feline. "You´re pink."
        "And you´re green," Lune replied evenly.
        "Yea but I´m a more natural color."
        "You mean you blend in with everything else?"
        "You´ve been making snips at each other since you´ve met. Can´t you be more civilized?" Tendouko was packing, grumbling. It was bad enough her friends threatened her but now that she found out that Kousagi was coming as well, she wondered if she could change her mind.
        ‘Nonsense, I love my sister,´ She told herself firmly. ‘A little jealousy does not help me at all!´
        She closed the top of the luggage and wailed as she locked her fingers in the case. She shook violently, wincing as she sucked in the injured fingers.
        "You´re cramming your whole hand in your mouth?!" Elysium. "I was sent to protect.. this?"
        "I told you to SHUT UP!" Tendouko grabbed a free pillow and threw it hard as Elysium took off running.
        "Ha, sure told him!" Lune beamed but hurried off at the dark glare.
        "You really shouldn´t be so mean," Eros peeked in. "What´cha doing?" She was wearing a floral dress, a pale yellow with pink roses patterned over the fabric. It was strapped across her shoulders and fell down wide to her knees. She had pink slippers on that clicked as she moved.
        "Who are you again? And how are you a senshi?" Tendouko began. "And how can you invoke...invoke.."
        "I am Love."
        Eros beamed at her, Tendouko looking confused before glaring. "That´s it? No big explanations?"
        "Now is not the time. You must grow first."
        "I am grown!"
        Eros continued to beam.
        "What?" Tendouko asked with gritted teeth.
        "You like Cosmos-mama?"
        "Oh.. well.. yes.."
        "Because she blessed you? Cannot you like her for being family or herself?"
        "I love her!" Tendouko flushed. "I´ve just met her.."
        "On the contrary, you´ve met before," Eros´s smile became mysterious. "We are all linked."
        She turned and walked out the door as Tendouko tried to process her thoughts. "Does everyone talk in riddles!?"

        "Now, how is going to happen?" Mina began, wringing her hands. "How do we get from the Moon to Earth?"
        Sailor Cosmos smiled. "Well, a long time ago, in order to have easier travel to the inner planets, Time Doors have been constructed," she raised a hand, a key grasped in it. It shone brilliantly before a black, intricately designed door slow wedged open. The silver mist drifted in slowly as the group backed away.
        "Wow.." Primavera jumped as Sailor Cosmos approached her. "Cosmos-sama.."
        "Here," She held out a bag. Holding it, Primavera discovered it was rather heavy. "These are yours. Someday, you will be able to do what I just did and more."
        "Wow! Can I do anything else?"
        "Well, you have a few taboos.." Sailor Cosmos began to only be interrupted.
        "Ha! You´re screwed!" Kassidy howled. Primavera glared at the other.
        "So you know, your schools have been decided," Sailor Cosmos began.
        "Oh yea, yea," Mako nodded. "Mirai Queen Serenity told us already. But how´d she get one to take us all.. save Tendouko, of course."
        "Oh, I hope it´s near Tendouko´s school!" Oceane wailed. Tendouko rolled her eyes.
        "Well, Tendouko is going to the Mizuhi Middle School. The rest are going to the Shimoku High School," Sailor Cosmos said quietly. "You may have trouble there, not as senshi but as civilians. Not everyone approves of senshi and royalty."
        "Really?" Duscha blinked. "I have never met such a person."
        "I´m sure we´ll give a good impression," Ami stated.
        "Take care, all right?" Sailor Cosmos moved away. "And be sure to watch for each other. You´re a team and all friends. In the end, that will be your strongest weapon..."
        And they entered the time stream, led by Sailor Cosmos. The pressure built almost instantly.
        "I.. can´t breathe!" Mako gasped.
        "It´ll let up," Sailor Cosmos said and as if by cue, it relaxed, the air becoming normal.
        Tendouko was having trouble keeping up with the others. Everyone was distracted by the swirls of nothing and light, interlaced by rainbow hues of moments. She heard it, a tinkle much like a bell. She turned toward it and heard it again, louder.
        She turned back and saw how far ahead already the rest were. She didn´t understand as she struggled to follow. But the air pressure suddenly intensified, drawing her backwards toward a dim light in the background. Whatever it was calling her, it was strong enough to breach the time stream.
        "So Tendouko, are you..... Tendouko?" Duscha´s smile wiped from her face. "STOP! STOP! Where is she?!" She screamed in fright.
        "Tendouko?!" Kousagi shouted in vain.
        Sailor Cosmos´s hands tightened on her staff, her eyes narrowing. A strange energy, it was nearly moot but she felt something prickle up her spine. ‘An invasion... who is this?´

        Tendouko entered a strange realm. There was light but it was all reflected, the source unable to be located. The walls were all black and crystallized, the ceiling full of jutting, huge pieces. She worried momentarily about it falling down on her.
        "Welcome, Little Star," A soft, feminine voice came from the shadows. The woman drifted out slowly, Lady Erebus peering out with a small, soothing smile. "I am Lady Erebus."
        "What is this place?" Tendouko looked around, confusion blossoming. "What are you doing here?"
        "This is where I am trapped. I managed to call you. You are very special," Her hand lifted slowly, stroking Tendouko´s cheek very lovingly. "You and I, we are alike. Lost in the shadows, never to be seen.. Don´t you think?"
        "It certainly sounds like it," Tendouko agreed. "But I love my sister."
        "Do you?" Her hand stilled at her chin, gently lifting it up. "How can you be sure? When you are so jealous, so angry?"
        Tendouko blinked rapidly, fighting the cloud over her eyes. "I don´t want... to be.."
        "But it gave you strength. It helped you transform, didn´t it? To prove yourself worthy, to be on your own two feet. Oh Little Star, we are so alike, it´s uncanny.." Her smile was primal but the fog in Tendouko´s eyes had spread to her mind.
        ‘Don´t worry, Little Star, we will get what we want in the end...´ Her voice whispered in her ear as she fell backwards in slow motion, the air of black nothingness cushioning her.
        It was pinpoint of light, a sharp pain. ‘Please.. please don´t... don´t let your heart die.. love is the.. the most..´ The voice was weak, feeble, familiar to her ears but her mind rejected the voice, the feelings of jealousy and anger taking control. ‘No... no.. Terrene.. don´t...let...go.....´
        The dim light faded out as the sweet nothing once more covered her. She disappeared from Lady Erebus´s sight as the woman smiled.
        "While you´ve been running, Sister, I´ve been gaining more strength. I´ll be able to bring forth Chaos by the spreading of its poison. And I just had my third victim.." She laughed maliciously.
        Tendouko awoke in a field of grass. "Are you all right?" A little boy with black hair cropped unevenly and wide blue eyes looked down at her, squatting down as he gazed into her eyes. "You were sleeping!" He was around six, the majority of his dark colored outfit covering his skin, casting his pale skin in sharp contrast. All that could be seen were his head, neck, and hands.
        "Aren´t you hot?" She asked quizzically, feeling the warmth in the air.
        "Nope! I don´t get hot or cold!" He beamed at her.
        She stood up slowly, looking around. "Is this.. Earth?" She felt a sense of adrenaline, the world around her more alive than she had ever imagined.
        "Yep!" He turned slightly. "Who are those people?" He asked, confused.
        Seeing Kousagi in the lead, Tendouko felt a sense of a strange emotion, worse than any jealousy and anger. A sense of destruction that vanished in a heartbeat.
        ‘What.. what was I thinking?´ Her mind raced. "Everyone!"
        She felt Kousagi wrap her arms around but felt her body react suddenly, shoving her off so hard that Kousagi was thrown back into the ground.
        "Ten... Tendouko," Kousagi gripped her side that she had fallen on. "Are you all right?"
        Tendouko nodded, shame filling her. "I´m sorry.. I don´t know what went over me.."
        "It´s all right. Look, we´re on Earth!" She watched her sister stand, beaming but there was a hint of blockage in her eyes.
        "Hey, hey," The little boy beamed. "I´m Seino Botsu! I´m glad I found you!"
        "What?" Tendouko was confused even more by his familiar attitude.
        "Botsu-chan?" A young girl, around sixteen, had long, thin black hair tied back into a taunt braid that trailed down to her hips. She, too, was covered greatly, only less by that her clothes ended just after her elbows and knees. She had the same blue eyes as she looked out with a even gaze. "Don´t get so friendly, Botsu.." She gave a hesitant smile to Tendouko. "He´s always wanted to make friends. Especially since our parents´ deaths."
        "Oh, I´m sorry," Kousagi began but the girl ignored her, staring at Tendouko.
        ‘If I were you,´ a soft, nearly inaudible voice entered Tendouko´s head. ‘Don´t let go of your heart..´
        And the girl beamed suddenly. "I am Seino Kyoukou. Hope to see you again, Little Princess."
        And she led her brother away.
        "What was that about?" Kousagi blinked. Sailor Cosmos was behind them, in the far back, talking to a couple.

        "No..no, sister, why?" Lady Nyx wringed her hands, her chest heaving. Having to reach out so far had spent her. She lay in a long armchair, her hair let down as she closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down. "Oh... why did you do this to her? To me? To them?"
        "Nyx-mama?" Eros climbed next to the older woman, the area becoming cramped. But Eros´s warmth was a welcoming sensation to Lady Nyx who cried softly.
        "I´m sure it will be all right... Love will bring the Light.." Eros promised, gently brushing back Nyx´s hair. "We will prevail..."
