Sailor Moon - Kingdom Come Part 5 - History repeats itself

Neoverse

Queen Beryl's private quarters

"All is going well I assume?" Orthanix says as he taps his dark gray hair and watches Beryl sit down in a chair next a lovely young lady.

"We have made four of the seven attacks on Earth, and Horologium has gone to Earth to orchestrate the fifth." Beryl says to Orthanix as she places her hands on her lap then glances to the young lady next to her. "Naga"

"Yes, mother." The young lady says as she lifts her head to look at Queen Beryl. She has long light brown hair, and deep, saddening, brown eyes which seem to tell of years of heartache.

"Do you miss your brother, Dijin?" Beryl says as she places her hand on Naga's chin and waits for her to reply.

"Yes." Naga says as she moves her head so that Beryl is no longer touching her. "I want him here. So that he can destroy you." She says as she quickly stands up and backs away from Beryl. "You're an evil, wicked woman! You love nothing! All you know is hate! Hate!!" She shouts as she runs out of the room tears streaming down her cheeks.

"How dare she insult me!" Beryl shouts as she stands up abruptly, a shocked, and angered look on her face. "I should never have rejuvinated her after I stole her youth!" She shouts as she pounds her fist into a nearby wall. "She is just as fool hardy as her brother!"

"Oh I wouldn't say that my love.." Orthanix says as he stands up and walks over to Beryl. "She is young, and has been through so much. Give her time, and I'm sure she will give in." He says as he places his hand on Beryl's shoulder. "She is to be your heir."

"No, she is lost to me forever. Dijin is my only salvation, he is the only one who can be my heir." Beryl says as she lowers her head and walks away from Orthanix. "He is more of a mirror image of me than he knows." She says as she stops in front of a painting of a young boy sitting on a small rock at the lip of a large cave. He has sandy blonde hair and a gentle smile on his face. "And when we conquer Earth, he will begin his trainning to become king of the Neoverse."

Tokyo, Japan

Fuji Lane (2 miles from Cherry Blossom Blvd)

Team 2 (Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter)

"We haven't spotted a single Neocreep yet.." Jupiter says in frustration as she leans against a wall. "But when we find one I'm gonna send a lightning bolt right up his or her...."

"Well don't expect to do that anytime soon." Venus says as she stretches and then jumps up on top of a newspaper box. "That is unless there's a Neoverse convention nearby or something."

"Venus is right, I haven't had a single reading yet." Mercury says to Jupiter as she stares at her computer patiently. "But I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I get some unusual reading."

"Well you better get one soon cause I wanna get to the bottom of this whole Neoverse thing." Jupiter says as she begins to tap her foot impatiently. "Shesh doesn't anyone walk down this street?" She says as she glances up and down the empty sidewalk.

"No, this isn't a real busy part of town." Venus says as she rests her head on her hands. "This section has been going downhill for awhile." She says as she looks around at the closed shops, and run down buildings. "Perfect place for an ambush."

"Let's try not to think of things like that Venus." Mercury says then begins to type into her computer. As soon as she is finished typing Mercury simply stares at the screen then looks up to Venus, and Jupiter. "I'm getting a strange energy flux about 100 meters to our right, and it appears to be growing." She says as she quickly turns to her right and sees debris, and dust beginning to move about.

"Whatever it is it's coming right now!" Jupiter shouts as she starts to back away from the source of the energy flux.

"Mercury, what kind of energy is coming from over there?!" Venus shouts as the winds begin to pick up and a portal begins to open over the spot of the energy flux.

"It appears to be chronological energy. It's forming a gateway of pure chronological energy that will cause a rip in the dimensional plane allowing a being from another dimension of time to cross through and enter ours." Mercury says as she watches the information form on her computer screen.

"In English please, Mercury!" Jupiter shouts as a large flash of light signals the completion of the portal.

"It's a time portal from the Neoverse." Mercury says as she turns her computer off and stares at the portal as a figure emerges from it.

The figure is that of a man, his features become more clear as he steps out the time portal. He is wearing a long robe that is colored red, purple, and black. He has long gray hair that is tied into a ponytail which rests gently on his back. His eyes are a deep purple, but seem to glow with an unknown energy.

"You're going down Neocreep!" Jupiter shouts as she runs forward so she is only a few meters from the man.

"You will do nothing of the sort." The man says as the time portal closes, and the winds die down. "My name is Horologium. I trust you are Sailors, Mercury, Venus, and of course Jupiter." He says as he nods to each of the scouts and smiles at Jupiter. "I come from the Neoverse, and am a servent of Queen Beryl."

"Jupiter wait." Mercury says as she walks up next to Jupiter, followed by Venus. "This may be our chance to learn something about our enemy." She says as she steps forward. "What do you want, Horologium?"

"I want nothing." Horologium says to Mercury as he watches Jupiter carefully. "I only wish to serve Queen Beryl."

"What does Queen Beryl want?" Jupiter shouts as she walks right up to Horologium, and blocks his path. "What's she after this time?!" She shouts with a menacing look on her face as she stands in an offensive position.

Horologium just stands there looking down at Jupiter before he answers her. "She wants to merge Earth and the Neoverse as one so that she can rule them as one kingdom." He says as his eyes begin to glow a bright purple. "And do not attempt to threaten me with your pathetic powers!" He shouts as he unleashes a mild chrono surge, knocking Sailor Jupiter back. "Do not think you will deal with me like a common enemy for I am more powerful than any of you weak Sailor Senshi can comprehend!" He shouts as he rises into the air, purple chronological energy circling around him.

"Hold your tounge Horologium!!" A male voice shouts as a bright green chrono surge shoots through the air and strikes Horologium on the chest. "You will not threaten or attack these children."

"This is none of your business!" Horologium shouts as he begins to recover from the blast. "Return from whence you came!"

"No, Horologium." A man says as he walks out of the shadows. He is wearing a red and black robe that trails behind him, his long gray hair seems to hover behind him as he walks, and his bright red eyes glow with a powerful energy force. "It is you who will return from whence you came. Go back to your queen. You have failed."

Horologium waits for a little then turns away from the man. "I will go, but let it be known to you, and the Sailor Senshi that the arrival is soon, and when it is done." He says as he turns around and opens a time portal. "Thy Kingdom Come." He shouts as he dives into the time portal and vanishes from sight.

"Wow." Venus says as she stares at the spot where Horologium has just vanished from. "That was really weird."

As the girls gather themselves, the mysterious man who had saved them from Horologium begins to walk away from them.

"Hey wait mister!" Jupiter shouts causing the man to stop in his tracks, and turn around. "Who are you anyways?"

"I am a servant of time." He says as he looks at Jupiter and smiles. "I am protecting the time stream."

"Do you have a name sir?" Mercury asks as she watches the man begin to turn and walk away.

"Enigma." He says quickly as he holds his hands out and a time portal opens in front of him. "I will see you all again for the sacrifice." He shouts as he dives into the portal and vanishes.

"The sacrifice?" Venus says as she scratches her head. "Now I know this is weird." She says as she looks to Mercury, and Jupiter. "Hey where's Artemis? Artemis!!??" She shouts as she suddenly realizes Artemis has vanished.

"I'm over here. I didn't want to get involved." Artemis says as he walks out of a rather large hole in a the wall of a nearby building. "But I did pay close attention to that Enigma guy. He gives me a real bad feeling."

"I know" Venus says as she pick Artemis up and puts him on her shoulder. "What did he mean by sacrifice?"

Before Artemis can say a word the shrill shouts of Sailor Moon can be heard echoing down the street.

"Hey guys!" Moon says as she walks up with Luna, Nomad, and Mars in tow. "You will not believe what we just ran into!" She shouts and then places her hands over her mouth to hold back her excitement. "Chocolate sundaes! Two for the price of one!!!!!" She shouts as she begins to jump into the air with joy.

"Not that moondust brain!" Mars shouts as she hits Sailor Moon over the head. "The Neoverse general!"

"Ok. Shesh, no need to kill me Mars." Moon says as she narrows her eyes at Sailor Mars, and rubs her head. "We ran into some Neoverse creep, who took Nomad over, and then tried to use him to attack me."

"That and we ran into Foxx No’Kal, and old friend of mine from back before I ran into you guys." Nomad says as he walks up next to Sailor Mars. "He’s going to be helping us in the coming battle." He says as he glances over to Sailor Mercury. "You have any idea what we can expect from the data you’ve gathered Mercury?"

"I have." Mercury says as she looks at Nomad and then turns slightly so that she is not directly facing him. "Beryl is planning some form of attack. Most likely to be in the center of Tokyo so that she can spread from the heart of the city, and out. She has been using many biblical references, for example, Kingdom Come, so I’ve come to the conclusion that she plans to attack the city with seven generals." She says as she motions towards the center of Tokyo. "God created the Earth in seven days, and Beryl wants to destroy it with seven generals."

"Um thanks Mercury for that uplifting report." Nomad says as he walks over and places his hand on Mercury’s shoulder. "So we’ve had five attacks now, which leaves us with two more generals." He says as he looks over to Sailor Moon. "Then Beryl will attack, and we’ll be faced with the greatest challenge of our lives."

"We’ll I’m up for it! Queen B’s find out she’s not gonna take Earth without a fight!" Sailor Jupiter shouts as she throws her fist in the air.

"And a fight is exactly what she wants." Sailor Venus says as she looks over to Jupiter, and then pets Artemis.

Neoverse

Queen Beryl’s Bedroom

Queen Beryl rests peacefully in her bed, but her mind is filled with nightmarish thoughts that haunt her every breath. They tear at her essence, and threaten to drive her insane. She can never escape them, they come in her sleep in her every waking hours, and she has no salvation from them. They are the haunting images of her past, her deepest pains, and her greats failures.

Beryl turns violently in her bed as the images in her head begin to drag her into her tortured past. Her mind fills with visions of a cave, a desert, and a young boy playing peacefully at the cave’s mouth.

The boy suddenly turns towards the cave as a voice echoes softly to him. The voice is female, and it becons him to enter the cave. Being curious he enters the cave and follows the sound of the voice deep into the cave until he arrives in a small illuminated room only big enough to hold three people in. In the center of the room is the ghostly figure of Queen Beryl.

She floats a few inches above the floor with her hands at her side, and a pale, saddened look on her face. "Hello Dijin." Beryl says as her ghost figure kneels down so that she is at eye level with the young boy.

"Who are you?" Dijin asks as he looks at Beryl fearfully. "Are you a ghost?"

Beryl smiles as a tear rolls down her cheek. "I’m someone who loves you very much Dijin." She says as she places her ghost hand on Dijin’s cheek. "I am your mother Dijin."

"You’re not my mommy." Dijin says as he backs away from Beryl with a confused look on his face. "My mommy is at my house with my Daddy, Borgi Natas."

"My name is Queen Beryl, I am your mother Dijin, that other woman is not your mother, I am." Beryl says as she looks into Dijin’s eyes and smiles at him. "Look in your heart Dijin, and believe what I say."

"But how?" Dijin asks as he looks at Beryl, his eyes showing his new found curiosity. "I don’t understand."

"It is a long story Dijin." Beryl says as her image begins to fade. "I must go now Dijin." She says as reaches out to hug Dijin, but remembers that she can not actually touch him.

"No, mommy!" Dijin shouts as he reaches out to touch Beryl but his hands go right through her. "Don’t leave me mommy!" He shouts as Beryl’s image is almost completely gone.

"I want you to know that I will always love you Dijin." Beryl says as she blows Dijin as kiss. "And I will return for you someday my son, and then we shall be united once more." She says as she totally vanishes.

"Mommy!!!" Dijin screams as he jumps at the spot where Beryl just was, but only lands on the cold, hard, cave floor. "Mommy…" He wimpers as tears begin to softly roll down his cheeks. "Mommy."

"Dijin!!!!!" Beryl screams as she sits up in bed, her arms out stretched. "No, it was just nightmare." She says to herself as she places her hand on her head which is covered in cold sweat.

"My Queen." Horologium says as he walks up next to Queen Beryl’s bed with his hands at his side.

"Horologium! How dare you enter my private bed chamber!" Beryl shouts outraged at Horologium.

"I have very important news to bring you that may have grave effects on our future plans." Horologium says as he looks at Queen Beryl who is now resting her hands on her knees. "While I was on Earth I encountered." He begins but stops as he backs away from Queen Beryl.

"You encountered what?!" Beryl shouts angerly as she pounds her fist on the bed and scowls at Horologium.

"Enigma." Horologium says as his throat tightens, and his palms begin to sweat. "I suspect he plans to help the Sailor Senshi battle our forces."

"He is nothing to worry about." Beryl says as she gets up out of her bed, and stands at its side. "I have changed the main purpose of our attack on Earth. The merging of Earth and the Neoverse will be our second objective."

"What will be our first my Queen?" Horologium asks confused by Beryl’s change in plan.

"Simple Horologium." Beryl says as she grabs her robe. "The capture, and converting of my son, Dijin Natas, to become my heir." She says as she walks over to a picture of Dijin on her wall. "He will become one with us, or his friends will die. His Kingdom shall come, and take him back."
