[Bitter Ambrosia]

Blake Ryder

Minutes passed, and then hours passed before finally the young man's hand gave a slight twitch. Then finally his eyes shot open as he jumped to his feet, quickly looking around for his opponent. But...nothing? There was a serene sound of the breeze, quietly blowing his hair in the wind. Birds were singing? He scanned his surroundings carefully. He was in what seemed to be...a field? No impact in the ground where he most likely landed, how bizarre. "Wait, where's Zodiac?!" His body was filled with horror when he realized how he had gotten here. He didn't even care about how he survived the fall at the moment. He looked over and saw a new pair of clothes. Ones like the uniform he wore in battle before transforming. Someone...knew him. But it didn't matter right now. But he knew somewhere out there, someone was looking out for him, after all. This is a parallel world. "One things for sure. I have to warn the people of this Earth. If he gets to any of the people he did in my world. He will for sure be un-stoppable. But...I don't have powers anymore. I'm all give out, my jewel has been shattered." He paused for a few moments looking towards the ground. What was he to do without any ability to fight? Without power to transform? He was just about useless right now. His fists clenched, drawing blood from the palms of his hands. His teeth gritted down tight as he dropped to the ground on his knees and punched the ground. 'I'm useless. Completely useless. No. If I can round up what heroes I can here, then thats doing something. If I can properly prepare everyone here for whats ahead so that we can stop HIM. Then that has to amount to something! Right?' He thought to himself as he stood back up. "To Japan. Time to meet the Sailor Soldiers..." He said as he began to walk towards where he could see a city outside of the field. Though, what he did not know, he had arrived later than Zodiac, the original Senshi were dead and gone...

Usagi Tsukino

Usagi was on her way towards her college when she saw someone in the distance. Frowning, she decided that even if she skipped today, she would be able to catch up quickly. She'd graduated from highschool the year before, and was a hard worked, so she was positive she would be fine. Her hair, done up in the usual heart shaped odango, seemed to flow behind her and sparkle silver in the sunlight as she ran over to the figure.

"Well hello there," she said, looking up at him with silver eyes. She knew that she was the Moon Princess, but no one else did. And somehow, some of her Senshi had gone missing. Something silent was working against her and she was wary. But she couldn't feel any dark auras coming off of this man, and felt a sort of desperation in him. "I'm Usagi. And you look lost. Can I help you?"

Blake Ryder

Blake saw the silver haired girl approach him. When she said her name he was skeptical. "Usagi...Tsukino?" He asked, wanting to know the last name. It couldn't be. Then this was Sailor Moon? They had heard in his world who their real identities were when they were killed off. He looked over his body, he had sustained pretty good sized wounds from his previous battle. He was weak. But then it clicked. He started to think of what had happened in his world, the deaths, pain, suffering. "I am...a bit lost I suppose you could say..." He said quietly. It'd be best to talk a while with her to get to know this person first before randomly blurting out words of an incoming apocalypse. "I...I'm Blake. Blake Ryder." He said, getting his words together to form full sentences. "Yes, I could use a bit of help I suppose you could say." He sighed. "I'm new around here. And I'm interested in knowing about the um...Sailor Senshi..." He said. He knew it must have been weird with a random beat up stranger asking such a question.

Usagi Tsukino

Usagi frowned, tilting her head to the side. How had he known that her last name was Tsukino? As far as she knew, there hadn't been anyone with that name for thousands of years. Not since the Neo-Queen had given up that name to become the first Serenity of Crystal Tokyo. That Usagi had had blond hair in round odango. Noticing his wounds, she gasped, dropping her books and rummaging in her backpack for first aid things.
"Here," she said, starting to patch up his wounds. When he said something about Sailor Senshi, she stilled. Maybe her impressions had been wrong. Instead of asking how he knew, she continued what she'd been doing, and asked a seemingly innocent question of him. "I am Usagi Tsukino, yes, but I don't know how you'd know that. And what about the Senshi? They've been in the news a lot lately.."

Blake Ryder

"Hah...thanks...you don't have to do that." He said but just allowed it. He knew he needed his wounds patched up after the beating he took. "I thought that'd be your name. You just looked familiar." He said. There was a slight darkness in his eyes. Not an evil, just a pain, a sadness. He had literally just seen the last of everything he knew destroyed before him. The last and only survivor of his Earth. "They have? I haven't been around technology lately, so I haven't heard anything. Whats been going on?" He asked curiously. If there's been alot of action going on, his fear was that he came later than Zodiac. If that was the case, then this world may already be in grave danger. He looked up to the sky. He could see the portal still slowly closing. He looked away for a second. He needed to tell her what was happening so he pointed to the portal. "I...I came from there actually. I'm following a very dangerous being that goes by Zodiac. I need to get to this world's heroes and warn them. You see...my Earth...." He paused for a while. His body tensed. "Is gone...everyone was slaughtered and the planet...the planet was destroyed..." Wow. He really sounded like a crazy person right now. "And the Usagi Tsukino from my world...is Sailor Moon." He said looking back at her, waiting for a reply.

Usagi Tsukino

Usagi looked up at him, her silver eyes seemingly wide in shock, but actually thoughtful.
"What did she look like?" she finally asked, pulling away as she had finished with his wounds. Instead of answering his assumption, she merely tried to make converstaion. "I've known one other Usagi Tsukino, and she became Queen a long time ago. In fact, she disappeared, but some say that she became Sailor Cosmos." Usagi shrugged. "I'm only the second Usagi Tsukino to walk this earth." She looked at the portal finally, having been ignoring it because of the cold aura it gave off. "Dead, huh?" she whispered. "That would explain the cold and death in the portal's aura..." She knew she must sound idiotic. She was the first Sailor Moon to actually be able to experience auras, and this is what had helped to find her Senshi in the first place. She looked back up at the strange man, waiting for an answer.

Blake Ryder

"Then...not only am I on another Earth, but in the future then..." He said looking a bit spaced out. It was so un real to him. Then again, it should be the least surprising thing he's been through. "She looked like you, but blond. They were all killed by a demonic being that goes by the name of Zodiac. He killed them all in cold blood...he took their powers and just kept moving on from place to place slaughtering all the inhabitants he could...." His fists tightened a bit. "My friends and I were the Earth's last hope and defense against him. They fell one by one till it was just me. Me challenging that monster just to flee so I could survive to try again. It was insane. I've never been so afraid in my life. People would cry out to me, for me to save them...and...I couldn't. No matter how much I wanted to. I was to weak. And just nothing compared to his immense power." He explained, looking away, feeling a tear or two escaping him. "It was just down to me and him facing off...I was ready to just accept death, everything was gone. But he started talking about how he could use Pluto's powers, and Sailor Moon's power from her crystal to open up a new dimension to skip around to different Earths. Causing them to face the same fate. I knew I couldn't just let it happened. It was all I had to transform one more time and follow. My powers were destroyed though on the way...and he's here somewhere lurking..." He said, looking back to her finally.

Usagi Tsukino

Usagi shivered, feeling his despair. Sighing, she looked up at him, her silver eyes luminous.
"Maybe I can help," she said quietly. "I might not be as strong as you need, but I can certainly try." Holding out a hand to him, she ignored the chill breeze that suddenly surrounded them. It was normal for this time of year, and she had a coat on over her jeans and t-shirt. Her hair came undone slightly, blowing into her face a bit. "Come on, I can take you to meet some of my friends. We will all willingly help. If this being is as powerful as you say, then we should be able to do a little bit of something."

"This way," Usagi said. She had reached out with her mind to touch the auras of her remaining Senshi. She smiled reassuringly at the man. "Don't worry. We will figure things out." She bent to pick up her books, and then started to lead the way to a nearby shrine, one that would be familiar since the original Mars had worked there as a youth, and now the current Mars did as well. Usagi seemed to be thinking, and she turned her head slightly to the stranger, looking at him out of the corner of her eye. "Well, I know that you know my name. But I don't know yours. I seem to be at a disadvantage," she said amiably. She wanted to know more about the man, not the danger. She'd lost her love in the last battle against Chaos, and had been struggling against the despair. This man was similar to him, though she knew he wasn't the same. Perhaps she would be able to make friends with this man, to fill some of the emptiness in her heart.

Usagi Tsukino

Usagi looked down, her eyes holding immense sadness.

"I've fought against Chaos. I lost Kazuma..." she said quietly. Looking up at Blake, she forced a smile. "You've told me who you were. I guess it's my turn." She took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. "I am Sailor Moon... More exactly, I am Princess Serenity. In my battles, I have lost many that are dear to me. Including..." She trailed off, not wanting to say his name again. It caused her such heartache. "No matter. We have to meet up with the others. Only Mars and Mercury are left. Out of the inner Senshi at least. Uranus and Neptune are gone too... Pluto guards the gates of time, and Saturn is with her." Usagi looked up at Blake, smiling slightly. "We'll get something figured out."

 

[Bitter Ambrosia]

Usagi Tsukino

Usagi had felt the shadows just as he told her to get down. Instead of following his directions, she instead held up her silver crescent moon shaped broach.

"Moon Eternal Power, Make Up!" she shouted. A lavender light surrounded her as she transformed, and in only a few seconds, she was Eternal Sailor Moon. A lavender wing looking bow adorned her chest, the silver crescent moon broach nestled in the wings. A three tiered lavender and purple skirt sat upon her hips, while the main part of her suit was white. The lavender puff sleeves covered her shoulders, while the lavender sailor flap seemed to sway in the breeze. Lavender boots with white accents encased her legs up to her knee, and white gloves with lavender accents went up to mid-bicep. The silver crescent moon symbol upon her forehead shined in the light, a symbol of her royalty. White feathered wings were upon her back, and she seemed to float slightly off the ground. She held no staff or wand, but power radiated from her in devastating waves. Her hair, already slightly undone by the wind, flowed smoothly about her face. Her silver eyes were narrowed, a glare on her pretty face. "By the light of the Moon, I banish thee!" she shouted, holding her right hand out in front of her. A silver light erupted from her hand, targeting the shadow creatures. Some of them withered away, killed by the light, but others were banished, their eerie screams of fear the only thing left of them. Rushing over to Blake, practically flying, she knelt by him. "Are you okay?" she asked quietly. "You shouldn't have been fighting in your condition." Her silver eyes held a worry for him, a worry that she held for all the world. It was a worry that might very well kill her in the very end. She'd not noticed the gash she'd received on her arm, something that was there from an instant before she'd taken care of the shadow creatures.

Usagi Tsukino

Usagi let her transformation drop, and she smiled a little.

"I won't let any friends die," she said firmly. Her eyes had saddened at the thought. "Our futures might be uncertain, but I know one thing for sure. I will die before I let any others die for me." When he said the bit about safety in numbers though, she nodded. "We are almost there," she assured him, picking up her books again and then leading him up the walkway towards the shrine. Her friends, Aya-Mars and Rina-Mercury, were already there. Rina had stood and was making ready to leave, but stopped short when Usagi entered the room.

"There you are! I was worried!" she said, pouncing and giving Usagi a hug. Usagi laughed, her laughter chiming like bells.

"Don't worry Rina. I'm here. I've met someone who knows something about what is going on, which is why I called you two here," she added, motioning to Blake. "His name is Blake, and he said that the shadow creatures were Shadow Warriors." After Rina let go of her, Usagi put her backpack and books down to let down her hair, redoing her heart-shaped odango. Let down, her hair reached to and trailed on the floor, but seemed to reject any dust or debris.

"If there is a Silver Crystal out there, then we should find that first. Sailor Pluto would have felt the resonances of a staff similar to her own, and would have sent Saturn to get it. If we haven't died yet, that means that Saturn succeeded in that respect," Aya said, smiling. Usagi had finished putting her hair back up by then, and she looked at Rina and Aya.

"Do you girls remember how I told you a few days ago that I felt something similar to the Silver Crystal near my apartment?" she asked. Rina nodded. "It might be that. We should go look." She looked over at Blake. "You can come along with us if you want. But I really would prefer if you healed instead..." she added, her expression worried as she looked over his still rather bloody wounds. Rina smiled and shook her head.

"Usagi, stop worrying. If he thinks he can handle himself, then let him go. You worry too much." She frowned as Usagi's expression grew sad.

"I don't worry enough..." Usagi said softly, and started out of the shrine after grabbing her backpack and books. Rina sighed, giving Aya a helpless look, then looking at Blake.

"We're sorry. She blames herself for all that's happened here, as far as Senshi disappearing and Kazuma dying..." she apologized. Aya nodded.

"Usagi is usually cheerful. Maybe if we all make it to the end of this battle you will be able to see that," she added, smiling slightly. "She trusts you, and it must have been something in your aura that allowed her to do so. She doesn't trust many people these days." Aya smiled reassuringly to Blake. "If she can trust you, then so can we." Usagi poked her head in the door, her silver eyes sparkling. She hadn't heard a thing that was just said, but she was in a hurry.

"Come on guys, I'm hungry. We should get something to eat on the way!" she giggled, attempting to be cheerful.

Giggling when she heard Blake's stomach growl, Usagi motioned for the others to follow, which they gladly did.

"There's an odango shop near my apartment, so we can grab something, then drop off my things and go search," she said. Rina and Aya nodded enthusiastically, and so they did just that. While in Usagi's apartment, Rina looked over at a picture, feeling a little sad herself. The picture had Usagi in the middle, a red-headed young man standing next to her, his arm around her waist. She seemed radiantly happy, and her friends surrounded her. Aya and Rina were in the picture, but so were several others. They could only have been the other Senshi, the ones that were missing. When Usagi came out, she saw them looking at the picture, and slowly walked over, putting it facedown on the table. "We're the only ones left... But we can make things right," she said fiercely, and Aya smiled, nodding. Rina could only feel her heart sink, knowing that Usagi was putting on a strong face for them. She knew that on the inside, Usagi must have been broken, near to the point of tears. Usagi turned to Blake. "I have a spare room. If you want to put your extra items there, you can," she added. "I know you don't have a place to sleep." She smiled a little. "And after we're done eating, we can go look for that Silver Crystal. I can feel it nearby, now that I know what it is that I'm searching for."
