Chapter 5: Confrontation
Neo Queen Serenity, and King Endymion walk into the throne room. As they do, they feel as if someone is watching them, a presence. they look around the chamber, but see no one. Finally the Queen breaks the silence. Faithfullove, I know you are here, show yourself. Faithfullove fails to appear. The Queen, knowing that it's her, continues to speak. It seems you are much stronger than Saturn herself. The King looks to the Queen and speaks. That is odd, considering they are the same spirit.
Pluto enters the throne room with a worried look. My Queen, I am worried. You must know who this Faithfullove, and her brother are. They are a danger and must be stopped. The fight with Uranus is just the beginning. At that moment Faithfullove appears in front of Pluto, but surprisingly Pluto is not startled. Faithfullove looks at Pluto. Just as I told Uranus. I am no threat to the Queen. She is why I am here. Queen Serenity sent me here, so that Neo-Queen Serenity would be protected. As an Eternal Warrior of Saturn, I am the Guardian of Truth and Defender of the Faithful One.
The Queen looks at Faithfullove, You said my mother sent you here? Before Faithfullove can answer Uranus charges in with her Space Sword drawn and hits Faithfullove in the back before she can react. Remarkably there is no injury to Faithfullove. Thoroughly provoked, and no longer in control of her anger Faithfullove attacks full force. It happens so quickly that the next thing that happens is that Uranus is on the ground in Neptune's arms beaten badly. Faithfullove stands posed with the deadly end of her staff pointed at Uranus.
I told you to stop. Faithfullove said coldly. Now you have forced me to stop you. I am an Eternal Warrior. Through the aid of the energy wave that struck Saturn 3000 years ago, and the same wave that released my brother, and me. It has strengthened us, and you can not defeat me. If you press on I will be forced to destroy you completely. What is wrong with you!? Neptune screams at Faithfullove. Why did you have to hurt her like this? You are not a true Senshi!
Uranus fights to talk. Doo n't... Nep... tune... Uranus passes out in Neptune's arms. Faithfullove gives Neptune a cold stare. I never claimed to be a Senshi. I am merely a Warrior strengthened by Saturn, my home planet. I am not of royal blood, I am a fighter. I may share a senshi spirit but that is where it ends. I answer only to Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymion. How dare you! growls Uranus as she gets up slowly.
Faithfullove shakes her head. How stubborn is she going to be? she thought. Uranus, I would stand down if I were you. If you try to attack me again it will surely end in your death. Then what would your daughter do? Uranus finishes standing, still a little shaky. What do you know of Samantha? Is she your brothers next target or something? The strength leaving her legs she leans on Neptune, she gives Faithfullove a dark look. If anything happens to her I will find a way to defeat you!
Faithfullove turns away and completely dismisses Neptune and Uranus, and turns her attention to Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymion. My Queen, my King. she kneels down in respect. I am here to serve you and to help fight the coming battles. Since my brother and I share the same spirit, I can feel him. He is very angry, and something is increasing his anger, although I am not sure what. Queen Serenity warned there is something coming that is far stronger and more dangerous than Enmity. I want you to know I pledge my allegiance to You and My King.
The Queen, still lost in her thoughts of her mother, murmurs. My mother...oh how I miss her. She then snaps out of it and regains her regal grace. Now, Faithfullove, Pluto. I want you to explain a few things. First off, Faithfullove I know who you are but other than that. I know nothing. I want to know the whole story. I want you two to accompany us to our chambers and you will tell us everything.
Neo Queen Serenity sits on the balcony off of her chambers. Endymion stands behind her as they prepare to listen to the tale. Not quite knowing what to expect. Also fearing what is coming, still Questioning the loyalty of this new warrior. Faithfullove starts her story. I don't know much to be completely honest. All I know is that at Enmity and I were locked away in the rings around Saturn. We are warriors of Saturn and our spirit is the same as Sailor Saturn's. Then there was some sort of energy wave that released us and increased our powers. I would guess, since Uranus had no expectation of how strong I am, that Sailor Saturn isn't even as powerful as us. She suddenly looks towards the balcony ledge. What is that? she says.
Endymion looks in the direction she is looking. What is what? Faithfullove walks towards the ledge when all of a sudden a burst of flame surrounds her. With a Scream "FROZEN BLUE BLAST" and a twirl of her staff, the flames are gone and a figure is exposed. Not quite clear as to what it is, but it hurriedly flies away. Faithfullove turns back to look at the others in shock. Seems somebody else is interested. Maybe this is not a good place to talk. Yes of course, The Queen replies. Let us enter our chambers, there we will have more privacy.
Pluto then speaks up to add what she knows. My Queen, About 3000 years ago at the beginning of the first Silver Millennium, there was a great battle between the forces of good and evil. All the Asteroid Senshi had been defeated that were trained, and Uranus, Neptune and Myself decided to fight. We were inexperienced and had just completed our training, we were no match. When it seemed all hope was lost, Sailor Saturn entered the fray, and destroyed the enemy. This caused all her life force to be used in the process, and she died. As her spirit was forming into her re born body, a mysterious energy wave hit her, and caused her to split into twins, Faithfullove and Enmity. It also increased their power and gave them more ability. Queen Serenity seen this in them, and knew that we did not have the power to properly train them so she froze them in the rings around Saturn.
Oh My! the Queen gasps. This must have happened when the Inner senshi, and I were mere children or even before we were born. Well, we must call all the Senshi together and figure out what we are going to do. Endymion speaks up. Do you want the daughters to come too? The Queen shakes her head. Not right now. We will decide later if we want or need their help they are still in training.
