Tokyo Rose & The Princess of Mercury
Chapter 8: Surprise Visit
Ok, here's chapter 8...I'm tired. It's like 1:15 my
time and I have to go to work later today...I DON'T
WANNA GO!!!! Now, I no own SM. Thanx to Jade and Kitty
Kat. They are my bestest friends in the whole world!
Ami layed in bed staring up at the ceiling. Lita laid
next to her, on her side and was looking at Ami. Ami
either didn't notice or didn't care. She had too much
on her mind right now...
BEEP!! Lita turned over and looked at the clock. It
was three fifteen. BEEP!! Ami rolled over on top of
Lita so she could get her comunicator. She then rolled
off of her girlfriend and answered.
"Mercury here. Whats going on now?" Ami was very
irrated and still angry about Lacy lying to her. A
fight in the middle of the night was the last thing
she needed.
It was Sailor Moon. "Hey, Ami. We need you and Jupiter
quick. Same place:Downtown." The screen went fuzy as
Moon clicked off.
Ami sighed. She did NOT want to do this right now.
Sighing again, she violently kicked the covers off her
bed, surprising Lita, and jumped over her. "Lets go,"
she barked. "I wanna get this over with..."
As Jupiter and Mercury entered the scene, the site
before them made them gasp. Tuxed Mask was knocked
out, Mars was shooting fire at the yoma, Venus was
trying to hold it down with her Love Chain and Sailor
Moon was waiting for her chance to attack.
The yoma, which happened to be another insect, was a
towering 12-feet tall. It was black scorpian. It's
eyes were a glowing blood red. It seemed to be
laughing at the scouts.
Mercury activated her visor and her new up-graded data
computer. Typing wildly, she soon found it's weakness.
There was only one problem:it had a thicker casing
than the others. And it's weak spot was it's stomache,
which seemed to have the most protection.
Shutting her computer, Mercury concentrated her powers
to form an ice lance in her hands. She ran forward and
was about to throw the lance when a bolt of black
Lightining stopped her and shttered her weapon of
choice. Looking up, she saw the face of the one man
she didn't expect to see:Jedite! A hologrham of his
body from the shoulders up was in the sky, smirking
the scouts. But, something was off about his
appearance. He still wore the same uniform, but his
eyes...They were some how, different.
"Well," he said, after blasting the others so his yoma
could be realesed. "Looks like my enemies have grown
in number. As well as in strength." He shook his head.
"But, it doesn't matter. Your friend, Tokyo Rose,
can't help you any more. She's dying, isn't she,
Mercury?" Without waiting for an answer, the hologrham
left. leaving a shocked Mercury(as well as the other
scouts) and a loose yoma.
It's eyes narrowed and lunged for Mercury. Jupiter
tried to get her out of the way, but she was too far
away. Mercury stood there, not wanting to move. Just
as the monster was about to collide with Mercury, a
shimmering rose flew from out of the air and struck
the yoma in the stomache.
Still shocked, Mercury looked to her left, from where
the rose had came. Standing there, in pain, was Tokyo
Rose. Even in the dead of night, one could easily see
how pale she was. "Do it, Sailor Moon!" Rose yelled,
falling to her knees. Mercury ran to her as Sailor
Moon dusted the yoma.
Rose was too weak to stand on her own. Mercury bent
down and helped her stand. She wrappped one arm around
Rose's waist, the other cradleing her head on
Mercury's shoulder. Jupiter didn't like this at all!
She didn't mean to be jealous of Ami's friend, but,
she was.
Rose leaned on Mercury until her streangth returned.
She waited just long enough to stand on her own. As
she leaned off Mercury, Jupiter came behind Mercury
and put her arm around her.
"Are you alright, Rose?" Mars asked. Even though she
wore a mask, Mars could feel Rose glare at her.
"No one but Mercury is allowed to call me 'Rose',"She
said coldly. "Call me by my full name, please." Mars
swallowed the lump in her throat. She could sense,
that even though she was weak, Rose was not a person
she should or even try to cross.
"I gotta go, Merc. Will you be alright?" Rose asked.
Mercuy nodded. Rose waved and smiled as she turned to
leave. "Fare well then." And she was gone like before.
"We really need to get her to sit down and talk to
us," Venus stated. "She seems to know alot about our
enemy."
"But," Mercury said, powering down. "She won't. It's
not her nature to share secrets."Ami's face fell.
"Never was..."
Ami sat in her sister's bed room. Everything still
seemed to be the same. But, it wasn't. And it would
never be again. Ami had to face the fact that Lacy was
dying. A tear made it's way down her face as she
thought of life without her older sister.
"Ami? You ok?" Ami looked up to see Lacy standing in
the doorway. She came home a few hours ago after
spending the night in the hospital.
Ami nodded. "I'm fine. But, I could be better."
"I know," Lacy said as she entered her room and sat
next to Ami on her bed. Brutis entered the room and
jumped up on the bed behind the girls. Lacy scratched
his ear, in which she recieved a low growl of
contentment from the animal.
Ami hugged the stuffed bear she'd been holding tighter
to her body. "Mom called Dad last night..." her voice
trailed off.
"Yay..."Lacy said not too enthuiastcally. "When's he
supposed to be here? I know he's coming." Lacy said,
matter of factly.
"We don't even know if he's coming," Ami answered.
"The way Mom said he was acting, he didn't even seem
to care."
lacy stared off into space and laughed to herself.
"Probably doesn't. He never did. Why do you think I
stopped going to the kemo treatments? He didn't care.
At least he didn't act it." A knock on Lacy's bedroom
door made the twins look up. "Come in," Lacy said.
Dr. Mizuno slowly peeked her head inside. "You two
ok?" They nodded. She entered the room and sat in the
chair at Lacy's desk. Despite the fact Lacy and Ami
were apart for most of their lives, they had a bond so
strong not even a thousand years could break. "Your
father," Dr. Mizuno started. The girls looked at her
with interest, "Will be here in a few..." She was cut
off by the doorbell. "...Seconds."
The three women slowly walked down stairs. The girls
walked into the living room and waited for their
mother to answer the door. They could hear the the
door open, the wind blowing outside, and hear it shut
again. Ami's face grew pale as she realized who it was
at the door. Lacy, sensing her sister's fear, placed
an arm around her baby sister and pulled her close.
"It's ok, B.B." Lacy whispered. "I won't let him do
anything." The twins looked up at the two figures in
the door way of the living room. One, they both
recognised as their mother. The other, was the father
Ami hadn't seen since she was four...
