Tying It All Together Ami finished bandaging the last of Mamoru's injuries and sat down in a nearby chair, gratefully accepting a drink from Rei. They all had gathered at Mamoru's apartmen to discuss the last battle.
"What is going on, Setsuna-san?" Mamoru asked. The Time Guardian smoothed out her purple skirt, avoiding the eyes of the other Senshi. She debated how much should she reveal. Sighing, she lifted her head. "As you all know, Celeste is the Senshi of the Sun. As Sailor Sol, she is one of the oldest entities in the universe, coming into existence once this system was formed. As the Guardian of Time, Sol and I met each other and eventually became friends. "She was reborn at the start of the Silver Millennium as Shinsei Tennyo a few years before all of you. While she held a position in Queen Serenity's court, most of her time was spent traversing the system, watching for any sign of danger." "But who's Charon?" Usagi interjected. "That Scorpios person said that Jonathan was really was left of Charon. What did he mean?" Setsuna gave another long sigh. "Charon was the fiancé of Shinsei Tennyo during the Silver Millennium. He was the prince of Pluto, lord of its moon Charon. He was also my brother." There were several gasps around the room. "You have a brother?" Makoto asked. "I had a brother," Setsuna replied sadly. "He and Tennyo went on a mission to stop a new enemy for reaching our system. They were captured. The enemy tried to turn Charon to their side, but my brother killed himself before weakening completely. Sol was able to defeat the enemy and she teleported herself and Charon to the moon. "But the Negaverse had already attacked. Sol, already weak from battle, killed herself out of grief. The spirit of Queen Serenity sent them to be reborn in the future. However, Charon's psyche shattered. The part of him that had succumbed to the Negaverse was reborn as Scorpios. The other part became Jonathan. Unfortunately, it seems that Scorpios has most of Charon's power and has gained even more." "What does Scorpios want with Usagi-chan and Celeste-chan?" Ami asked. "Scorpios knows that Usagi-chan is the Moon Princess and the power she can wield. Celeste-chan, as Sailor Sol, is also very powerful. And, in his own sick, twisted way, Scorpios may still be in love with Sol and is using Jonathan as a hold over her." "So, what's the plan?" Haruka asked gruffly. "Sol has gone after Scorpios alone. After seeing what has happened to Mako-chan and the others, I don't think she can handle this alone." "But Celeste-chan told us to leave her alone," Usagi interjected. Haruka gave the blonde a scornful, disbelieving look but a gesture from Setsuna cut off her venomous reply. "I know where they are going," the Time Guardian replied. "If we hurry, we can help Sol." "What about the Timeline, Setsuna-mama?" Hotaru asked, her violet eyes filled with concern. She smiled at the girl she had raised with the help of Michiru and Haruka. "Let me worry about the Timeline, Hotaru-chan," she said gently. Michiru exchanged a worried look with Haruka, but both remained silent as the Guardian of Time stood up. "If we are going to be of any help to Celeste-chan, we must go now." Usagi jumped to her feet and she watched the others stand as well. "Right," they chorused. Then, everyone transformed. |
