The antients have prophesied that the chosen one will lose what they hold close. This will spark the power
they need to reach their ultimate, and for them to become the chosen group of the sages.
- Sacred Book of Sages
"Ok Will, today we are doing the last scene in America. After this, you go to Japan. Do you have any questions?"
"Yeah, you haven't given me the rest of the script - you know, the part where I go to Japan... Whats gonna go on there?" Will asked.
"Well I have a friend who is the director of the Sailor V series there, and he and I decided to have you team up with her," Dave said.
"Oh!" Will said, kinda excited. "Do you know who the one playing that part will be?"
"I don't know, he said he had someone. Anyway, lets get going! I know we are way above schedule, but I would like to keep it that way!"
Will had arrived at the shoot extra early that morning. He wanted to get the day over early so he could finish the last two chapters of that book Quinn gave him. It was really weird, he had never finished a book that fast. He also understood a lot from the book - the teachings of the bushido, and the prophisies made of what may come to pass if things do not change.
Something snapped him out of his thought momentarily. As he started walking towards the closed set, he noticed Makee and Setsuna in the croud that always showed up to get pictures of him early in the day. He smiled, remembering the great time he had two days ago, and walked into the sound stage. When he looked inside he remembered what was going to happen - Sun was going to lose his mentor. 'Not again... this had to be written into the script....'
"Boo!!" Jess said from behind him, startling him.
"Jess! What are you doing here? I know they wouldn't let you into the sound stage, they are so uptight about these things."
"Hehe, well yes I know they are, but I am in here for a special reason. I am one of the extras! They needed a fill in, and I was talking with Tabitha, looking for you when they found me!"
Will smiled and the two talked until they got to where they were needed. They started shooting the scene. Sun was fighting his evil half brother - who had gained some powers himself. His mentor jumped in the way of a fatal blow, and died in Sun's place. The whole scene ended with Sun and his half-brother fighting, and then his half-brother revealing who was the real person behind the threat against the world, before dying - then Sun leaving off for Japan to fight this evil being.
Will left the sound stage and went to get dressed. He and Jess left the studios and were going to go out for lunch. When they got into the car Will's watch started beeping.
"Huh? what is that for?"
Will growled. "Today went so well too." He sped off, noticing the monster was close by. He jetted into an allyway when he noticed the creature.
"Will, What's-- oh? Jessica said, as she saw the monster right before they shot into the allyway.
Will jumped out of the car quickly and pulled out his dagger.
"Moon Dagger Transform!"
Will transformed into Warior Sun, and he bolted out of the ally. Jess snuck out closely behind him to watch everything.
Sun came upon two people, one on the ground screaming - a female- and the other a monster, but it looked like a tall man, with blue skin and green hair. He was standing over the girl, and laughing.
"Hey, let the girl go," Sun said, pulling out his sword and pointing it at the monster.
He laughed. "Oh you can't possibly think I would elt a cute young woman like this get away!"
Sun was stuned. He never knew that one of the monsters could talk. It smiled evily at him.
"Yes, I am a monster, but now they have more power to create us with! Now we are intelligent beings, made to serve thier will!"
"Whatever, just let the girl go, and leave before I start having a bad day."
The monster laughed and opened his fist. His fingers transformed into sharp weapons. He glared right at Sun. Sun growled and jumped at the monster, slashing at it. The monster stepped aside and kicked Sun in the stomach. Sun fell to the ground, but quickly got up. The monster lunged at Sun, but Sun blocked the monster's sharp claws with his sword. He slid his sword along the monster's claws and locked them at the bottom of his sword. He quickly turned around, making the monster go with him, and trip to the ground. Sun jumped and kept the monster down with his foot.
"You may be more intelligent, but you are still stupid," Sun said, looking down at the monster. The monster growled and kicked Sun off of him. He jumped up high, and went straight for Sun. As it was coming down, it was hit with a lightning bolt, sending a loud schreach from it. It hit the ground and turned into dust. Sun looked around and saw a woman standing on top of one of the buildings. She blew him a kiss then dissappeared.
Sun turned around, and walked to the young woman who was attacked by the monster. As he bent down to help her up he noticed it was Makee. He couldn't help but smile. She smiled up at him.
"Wow, I never thought I'd be saved by the real Warior Sun," She said, as she was helped up. She kissed his cheek. "Thank you!"
"Don't mention it, miss," Sun said and bowed. He then ran away, jumping over buildings and back to his car, transforming back into Will.
Makee thought to herself. "My... that guy looked very familiar... wait- no it couldn't be him. They do look a lot alike, no wonder they picked him to play Sun in the movies."
"What?? Grrr, why don't they ever win?!" Kei yelled madly, as he heard the news of the new mosnter being destroyed.
"Don't worry Kei," the woman, who brought him the news, said. "Master Mithrill does not care about the monsters right now. Neither should we. We should put our attention on Japan right now, and the seven elite men. They need their final training before going out there, you know."
"Yes I do, Lina," Kei said to the woman. "Go, I need to be alone for a moment."
The woman bowed. "Yes m'lord. I will do anything to please you." She left the room. Kei got up from his seat and walked into another room.
"It is my time now."
Kei walked into the second room of his suite in the underground lairs of thier new base. The base was located under the floor of the ocean thirty miles off the coasts of Japan. Even though it is seemingly impossible, with the new technology they have discovered, it was made possible. Now they could teleport from sea level and up down to their base under the ocean floor.
Kei took off his robe he was forced to wear when making speeches to the now elite seven. Under it was his military uniform, which he un buttoned at the collar. He then pressed a few buttons and a video screen came up. The young Hope turned around, and smiles at Kei.
"I was expecting you to contact me earlier, but I guess whatever you had to do wasn't avoidable, Hope said, putting down the book she was holding.
"Are Mithrill's machines ready?"
"Oh no, it will be another two months until then."
"Well, alright. How are the sub plans going?" Kei asked.
"Those are right on schedule with Mithrill's plans. Provided nothing changes drastically, by the time the chosen one is jutted here, you will have all you dreamed of!" Hope said excitedly. She turned away for a moment, then turned back, holding up a rod like device.
"What is that?" Kei asked, looking at it with a strange face.
"This, my dear, is my newest invention. Just for you, I might add. I know you have been having problems with those monsters, so this will aide you." Hope's eyes started to glow, and shortly after the rod does the same. In an instant, the rod is floating in front of Kei. "Use this device to channel the energy you use to make the monsters, and they will have more power.. and be under better control by you."
"Excellent." Kei said, looking at the rod. He grabbed it and turned the video screen off. He walked back intot he first room and sat down, an evil grin on his face. "Most excellent. Now I will finally win against Will... Hahaha!
"I am SOOOO gonna miss you!!!!
A few weeks after the finish of the shooting of the American scenes in the new Warior Sun movies, Will had finally gotten finished packing, and all his stuff that he had was shipped to his new apartment in Japan. He did not have much, for he did not want to get anymore since the explosion, because he knew he would be leaving.
Jess hugged him tight, almost not wanting to let him go. Will hugged her back and then the two released. Jess started to cry, even though she tired hard to hold it back. "Sorry... I am just so used to you being around, I don't know what I am going to do."
"Well, you are coming out for frequent visits! I have enough money right now, and will have even more than enough, to support you, Quinn and I for the rest of our lives. So you can come out and stay for as long as you can, as many times as you want!" Will took her hand, kissed it, and turned to board the plane. Quinn had already gotten on. He seemed a little disturbed, much like the feel that Will had because of missing Jess. Will noticed this, but shrugged it off.
Will took his seat, in first class, right next to Quinn. He pulled out the Heavenly Bushido's core philosophy book, the Book of Sages, and started to read again. Quinn looked over and laughed a little.
"That is the thrid time you will be reading that. Put it down an relax, my boy!"
"This helps me relax, Quinn," Will said, lookign up momentarily.
Shortly after the plane lifted off fromt he airport, a young girl came up, about fifteen, and asked for Will's autograph.
"Oh, why sure, young lady. What is your name?"
"Jamie," she said with a giggle. Will signed a picture of himself that she gave him, and handed it to her. She almost
fell over, and then ran back to her seat, showing her friend she was sitting with.
Will leaned back and started reading again. "Tell me Quinn... These prophecies... they are starting to bug me. It says here
that 'the chosen one will lose what they hold close'.I am starting to wonder, and change my initial thoughts... The chosen one is not someone we call back from the dead or back from their slumber or anything. Could it be...?"
Quinn sighed. "Let us speak in Japanese so noone can really understand us. I did not expect you to read the book so dilligently. You are learning verything so quick. Your whole style has changed so quick. All I can say now is that you need to thinkw hat you want... I cannot interfere by telling you what everything means."
"Oh," Will said, starting to read the book again. He sank in his chair, thinking and reading over the book. "Quinn... when will I learn about your life before you came back?"
"In time. I have already been here a half a year, and I expect you to be curious, but the time is not now, my disciple, not now."
Quinn looked out the window, out at the clouds. Will started to read again.
'There is somthing about him that is so familiar to me. Especially about today. I just... I just can't figure it out. I still can't figure out how he knows practically every move I will make...'
"You know that by coming through the gates of time you will be affecting ALL of future." A woman said to a man who was before her.
"Yes I do. That is what I want."
She sighed and then nodded. "Then so be it. But I will accompany you into the past."
"Why would you do that?" The man asked.
"For I have not interfered the last three times it was attempted. This time I will not allow you to fail easily. I have seen your future fall into despair and destruction too many times."
"What are you talking about??"
"You were not told? I would have thought the last form of yourself would have told you before he had died."
"Last form of... myself?"
"Yes, my child, your future has been affected before, and at your request every time I stood aside to let you do all the work. This time I will not meerly watch. Even though I am breaking many rules I am forced to follow, I will do it. Expecially at the cost this time."
The man nodded to the tall woman before him, and she led him to the gate of time. Together they passed through. Suddenly the face of a young girl appeared before his eyes.
Quinn woke with a start. He muttered out a name. Will, who had fallen asleep as well, woke up and looked over.
"Are you all right??"
"Yes, young one. Yes. It was just a nightmare," Quinn said. He whipped some sweat off of his forehead and laid back down. "Although," He started again, in Japanese," I fear I may have made a mistake... I have been here almost a year now, and nothing is really going as planned."
"What are you talking about, Quinn?"
"Will, very soon you will know all that has gone unanswered in your questioning me... and more."
Will looked at Quinn and nodded, then laid back himself. He started to dose off again - much like Quinn. The two fell back to their slumber as the plane took them to Japan.
"Do not doubt your actions now, my friend."
Quinn groaed. 'What now? I am trying to get some decent sleep here.'
The lady from Quinn's dream before, took a step out from the shadows of his mind.
"Oh... it is you, Pluto."
"That it is," Sailor Pluto said, standing right in front of Quinn. Quinn looked around a moment. This place was very strange to him. Myst was everywhere, covering the ground, climbing up the walls a little bit. There were six pillars going along the walls, with vines climbing them, coming up from the myst.
"How come I never knew of this before? You coming into people's dreams and all?"
"This is a seceret that no one will ever know of again, if I can help it. The only reason I am using it now is to give you information. I am not really in your dreams, we are just using a mind link."
"Oh," Quinn said, taking a seat on abench. Pluto walked over and stood before him again.
"The girl is in place. We arrived shortly before you left."
"What of the others?" Quinn asked.
"We have not met them, nor seen them yet. I am keeping her away from them until you arrive."
"I see. But, you still haven't told me why you are advancing her move so early," Quinn asked, finally looking at Pluto directly.
"All you planned to do when you came back was keep things the same as it was with you, only with one difference. That is sacrifice yourself in saving her. Two factors changed that. One is your daughter. The past versions of yourself never took their daughter. Number two would be my involvment. Now things are changing. But, you should not doubt what you do. All you have done has been right."
She sat down next to him. He was looking down at the myst. Slowly, a circle of light shone through the myst, dimly, and softly. Inside of the circle was a small pool of water. The rippled and showed a picture of Cammy, his daughter.
"What will become of her?"
"If all goes right, you two can return to your time. Things will be very different, but you two can live in the satisfaction that your life has been changed for the best."
Quinn sighed. He was thinking of what he was planning of doing. "Everything involving what I needed to do changed... yet nothing much has changed with everyone else. That means... I must do whatever I can do to save her."
"NO! I will not allow you to sacrifice yourself like the others have!"
Quinn looked at her, then back down at the pool. Quinn laughed softly. "Tenra did not sacrifice himself. Yet she died still. You do know the reason I brought my daghter, dont you? At first I thought it was just because I wanted her to be able to go back to the future with me if I saved her. But now, I know that I brought her for a subconsious reason. I brought her so that she could protect her in my absence."
"If all goes as planned, my dear Tenuka, then you two will not have to worry about that. Hear my words, and remember you do not have to follow the foot steps of your former selves. You do not have to sacrifice yourself for her.
Pluto slowly faded away. "You are awaking, young Tenuka. I shall see you soon."
As she dissapeared, he looked down at the pool. The image of his daughter formed into the image of another woman, older, yet still young.
"Makee..." Quinn said, putting his face in his hands.
