Dav almost expected Blade's attack after the sword of Mercury had destroyed Blade's Negaverse sword. But Dav had no idea what to do
against another lightning ball. Blade launched the ball and Dav threw his arms up in defense. He expected the blast to knock him out again but
his armor gave him extra defensive power. The blast only pushed him back about three feet, but it was enough for him to lose his breath. "You
want more?" Blade sneered, "Fine then!" He powered up another shot and this one was enough to throw Dav against the wall. Dav could
barely stand, his legs were giving in. Sailor Mercury quickly moved to his side despite the pain she had and whispered to him,
"I believe in you, my Guardian." She followed through and gave him a small kiss on the cheek.
Dav was immediately revitalized. Blade shot another ball of dark lightning but this time Dav was ready.
"Uh!" he grunted as he swung the blade to deflect the blast, it worked.
The ball of dark energy quickly returned to Blade. "NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!" he shouted as his most powerful blast of dark energy
hit him head on. The blast threw him completely across the room and he slammed headfirst into the opposite wall. He managed to look up and
see Dav's sword pointed directly at his throat.
"You don't have to do that you know," Blade said weakly, "I'm dying as it is."
"And deservedly so." Replied the young knight.
"But there's something you should know before... before my time."
"And what's that?"
Blade made a quick motion and Dav's mind was filled with images. He saw a small Negaverse attack on Mercury that happened several years
before the main attack on the moon. Dav saw a couple with a baby in their hands as they ran from the approaching youmas.
"They can't have him," the man said gesturing to the baby, "I'm going to fight to the end if I have to."
"Please come back to me," the woman said. She had brown hair that reached to the small of her back and grey eyes. NO! Dav thought,
Those are my parents!?
"I will," his father said, "If you have to give him to someone then do so. The powers to be have spoken, and they say that he will play an
important role in his future."
"I understand," said Dav's mother, "Good luck."
"I love you." Were his last words as he drew a sword and proceeded to meet the oncoming warriors.
Flicker...
Dav could see his mother struggling to stay ahead of the Negaverse's scouts and she slowly made her way to the walls of Mercury's capital
city. She managed to get inside just as the gates were closing. They would keep the Negaverse out and so the woman felt she was safe. But
she was critically wounded and she collapsed after entering the main plaza of the city. A woman rushed to her aid.
"Please..." Dav's mother said, "Take care of Dav." and died.
The memory faded as Dav pieced the puzzle together. Blade spoke again, "You passed your test. And I'm happy that I was able to see how
strong you've become."
Dav's eyes filled with tears and he said as Blade emitted his last breath, "Good bye...
...Father."
Artemis led the Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask to the room where Dav and he had been separated and was surprised to see Sailor Mercury
crouching next to Dav who was kneeling next to the man who Dav had described as Blade.
"H-he was my father," Dav said quietly to Sailor Mercury, "He was captured and forced to fight for the Negaverse. He knew who I was all
the time. He was testing me but if he had to he would've killed me. The fatherly part of him was the reason why he deserted Beryl and started
his operation. He was looking for me to end his misery."
Artemis watched as Sailor Mercury put her hand on his shoulder in order to comfort him, and of course this all didn't go unnoticed.
"No way!" shouted Sailor Moon, "Blade was your father and you never knew!" the two Mercurians jumped up, startled, and faced their
reception. Sailor Mercury ran up to Sailor Moon and immediately gave her a hug as the two exchanged "I'm glad you're all right!" statements
as well as the other Scouts while Dav stood aside from the crowd. Sailor Jupiter walked over to speak to him,
"You did it," she said, "You certainly knew how to help her come back to her senses."
"Wasn't too hard," Dav responded, "Just had to play a tune and she was back to normal." He laughed. After a few more minutes of
congratulations the group walked out of the mansion. Dav and Tuxedo Mask were talking about exactly how Tuxedo Mask had helped the
Scouts many times in the past while the Scouts and the cats were holding their own conversation.
"I just noticed how cool your Guardian looks when he's wearing that armor, Mercury." Said Sailor Jupiter.
"Yeah, can I borrow him for a while?" Asked Venus.
"I wouldn't mind taking him somewhere myself," said Mars.
Mercury blushed and laughed, "Oh no you don't. You're going to have to wait until yours' come. Who knows, maybe you'll like them more."
The Scouts all laughed while Luna and Artemis exchanged worried looks.
A week later Serena began to notice that Dav and Amy were spending a lot of time together. She noticed that the two would often leave the
group at the arcade at regular intervals and she would loan him Mercury's Ocarina for a few minutes for him to play for her. The two often
studied together but one time so far they snuck out to get some ice cream. Serena was glad that Amy had finally found someone she could be
with since Amy had told her about Greg's letter.
It was time for a new beginning for the Sailor Scouts. Mercury was the first to be affected by this change and the rest were soon to follow.
The sun set that night in a cloudless Tokyo sky with the stars slowly appearing. Dav and Amy were standing under a tree at the park watching
them appear one by one.
"They're so beautiful," Dav remarked.
"It makes me realize that all of the trouble we went through was worth it. Just reaching this moment."
"I wasn't talking about the stars. I was referring to your eyes."
Amy blushed yet again, "You shouldn't say those things since I don't handle them very well."
"It's hard to handle the truth." Dav said. Amy looked at him again and smiled. The two drew closer together. As their lips touched one another
Amy wished that this moment would never end. Far above in the heavens, a shooting star soared across the sky.
The End... for now.
Author's Notes: This is the first fanfic in a complete series that I plan on writing. Every Guardian is going to be revealed and they all will
eventually take on against a new evil in a final battle. The next one in the Sailor Moon G series will be another episode based solely on the
Mercurians called "Trials and Errors" in which Guardian and Sailor Mercury are tested for their loyalty to each other. The third will most likely
have the appearance of another Guardian.
As for the story.
Greg's last letter said that he had found a girlfriend. Amy didn't realize that he only wanted to be one of her best friends since he still felt he
wasn't good enough for her and Amy took it the wrong way.
Dav is the name of another fanfictional character of mine, Dav Cole. I felt that Dav was a good name for the Moon Kingdom and decided to
use it.
Playing the ocarina is something I like to do when I get to school 40 minutes early (I did this before I knew that Amy did) and decided to
incorporate this into the story thus leading to the royal treasures.
Darien never appeared in his normal form since I would've had to create another sub-plot to allow him in, he will appear in the next part.
Dav only called Serena "meatball head" when they met since I did before ever seeing the show and was amazed to hear it.
I had Sailor Jupiter use Supreme Thunder instead of Jupiter Thunder Crash since I like that name better.
I can't stand it when Princess Serena speaks, it just drives me crazy when she doesn't contract anything.
The blade on Mercury's Sword doesn't appear like a lightsaber from Star Wars. Dav will sometimes run his hand over where the blade
belongs and it appears when his hand passes that area. When it appears it looks like a blade of ice simply forms and turns into the metal alloy
of the blade and gives it a bluish tint.
When Guardian Mercury reverts, it looks like his armor and cape liquefy into water and falls off, putting him back in the clothes he was
wearing before transformation.
The last scene is exactly what happened 1000 years ago as their old selves were emerging.
The name "Capsule Monster" comes from Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals.
The short song that Dav played so often is actually the Serenade of Water from Zelda 64 with an added note at the end.
The longer one that he can play for hours on end is this music (the 600 AD theme from Chrono Trigger).
And future parts:
The next fic is going to have their chess matches and a pool scene.
This fanfic takes place right before autumn to allow enough warm weather for the pool scene since I have a really great idea for a winter
practical joke that Dav and Darien will pull much later in the series. (
