For the third time in a day, a low chime sounded in Castle
Charon's teleportation chamber. It was an automatic response spell,
cast millennia ago by the Silver {Millenium's : Millennium's} magi to warn people to
clear the chamber in preparation for arrivals. However, now there was
no one to hear it.
"Silence." A burst of darkness flung from Metallia's hand,
which Pluto barely dodged. "I can answer for myself, girl. I am
Metallia." A mocking smile formed on the dark goddess's lips. "But
once I was called Serenity, daughter of Serenity, Queen of the Moon
Kingdom and sovereign of the Golden {Millenium : Millennium}. And, my most unworthy
successor, it is time for me to reclaim my throne."
Behind the Senshi and Champions, Sailor Saturn slowly, {shakingly : shakily}
extended the Silence Glaive, which shone with the sickly, reflected
light of the struggle playing out in front of her. The song of the
Silence rang strongly in its Senshi's ears, beating in time to the pulse
of the confrontation.
Pluto laughed again, sounding as though she did not believe what
she was seeing, but both Ares and Sailor Moon ignored her. The Champion
continued to speak. "That oath still binds us, just as it did when
Serenity the Peacemaker came to us on the eve of the fall of the Golden
{Millenium : Millennium}. Serenity the Dark must be stopped."
Ares paused, as though it was a struggle to utter the next
words. "We will help you fight her." He paused, and the struggle that
had passed before was nothing next to the indecision now evident on his
face, but it too passed. "I cannot say I like this, but I fear it is
necessary, or there will be no trust between us." He slowly extended
his blade, hilt first, offering it to Sailor Moon. "We will swear
ourselves to you... if you will have us."
If I understood correctly, that is exactly what the last Queen Serenity
of the Silver Millennium was asking for. Rather ironic that the Champions
finally offer it after billions of lives and thousands of years.
