"Silence-kun," Hotaru murmured as she slowly stood up, staring at the gun that was trained on her.
Opposite Saturn and Hotaru faced each other across the table, he standing tall, his arm steady in it's aim at her. She with her eyes wide, and her hands resting on the edge of the table. People were scattered around the floor, and a breeze swirled around them from the open door.
"You cheated on me," He whispered eventually; his voice torn and hurting.
"But I wouldn't Silence, I would never do that you-"
He cut her off and shook his head painfully closing his eyes for a minute as his hand started to shake. "I can still see it Hotaru." His voice was torn and full of pain. "When I walked into the room and you were," a tormented sob escaped him as he opened his eyes. "But even though I can still see it, it's so hard to believe it of you..."
"Silence, I, I don't know, but when the Inner Knights were healed we found out they had all kinds of fake memories that this King had given them that never really happened, they were just there to make them hate the Senshi."
Opposite Saturn slowly lowered his gun, his eyes turning thoughtful. "Fake memories, I don't know why I never thought about that, it does sound like something The King would do..."
"Well why not let Sailor Moon heal you?" Hotaru offered gently.
"I would rather not just have fake memories from her thank you but no." He stated bluntly.
Hotaru hesitated then offered. "I could try to heal you."
He stared at her for a moment then slowly extended his hand, setting the gun on the table.
Slowly Hotaru took his hand and closed her eyes. A purple glow surronded her as her symbol appeared on her forehead. As her power grew her hair started to lift up, then the glow seeped into Opposite Saturn's hand and creapt up around his head as well.
His eyes widened in surprise as the glow faded. "It's gone, the picutres of you cheating on me are gone." His voice was awed and free of the pain he had carried with him. Glancing down at his gun he was suprised to see that the gun itself was now black and the symbol was glowing softly purple. He quickly looked at himself, his eyes widening with joy as he saw that he was now dressed as Saturn Knight in his armor. With a cry of joy he detransformed and threw himself across the table to hug Hotaru tightly to him.
Breeze stormed out of the room where they held their meetings with The King, his face stormy. "Silence went over!" He snapped out when Foam shot him a confused look.
Foam blinked. "You must be mistaken," he murmured disbelievingly. "Silence is the most believing of all of us and he would never go to the enemy..."
"Well it's true!" Breeze raked his fingers through his hair angerily. "We have to get him back, we need to show him back to what is right."
Foam nodded and stood his trident appearing in his hand as Midnight came back into the room. "Lets go."
Ange, Minako, Flamme, Clarissa and Sean walked into the Crown while Silence and Hotaru were hugging and laughing. Sean frowned. "Something is different, look at the gun."
Minako studied the gun then broke out in a bright smile. "Hotaru-chan i'm glad for you!" She sang out and closed the distance betweent the door and their table to join in the hug causing all the others to laugh.
Silence looked up at Sean, his previously sulky purple eyes alive with joy. Then his face suddenly fell. "Where am I gonna stay now? I'm sure that Foam and Breeze and Midnight won't let me back in the house.
Sean couldn't help but laugh at that. "We miss all our stuff and our house as well Silence-kun, demo you'll get used to it and settle into a new home I'm sure."
Flamme thought about it. "I'm pretty sure Rei-chan would let you stay at the temple with us?"
"Arigato Sean-san! Demo, Haruka-poppa and Michiru-momma will let him stay with us! We have a big house and there is lots of room for him and the other Outer Knights until the house can be yours again." Hotaru smiled brightly.
Silence inclined his head gratefully. "Arigato gozimasu minna." He said. "Arigato."
Ange looked around curiously. "So why are all these people asleep?"
Silence blushed. "When Hotaru told me who she was I didn't want witnesses, they will be fine!"
Sure enough the people started to stir and went back to their talks and meals as if nothing had happened, the blank looks clearing off their faces slowly.
"How did you do that Silence-kun?" Clarissa asked blinking in surprise at the lack of reaction from all the people.
Silence glanced down at the table and his gun and slipped it back into his dimmensional pocket. "The King gave my commardes and myself powers we could use while not transformed so we would have more powers to beat you guys,"
Hotaru slipped her hand into his. "Well thats a good thing! Now you can use those powers to help us!"
Silence relaxed and nodded with a smile while the older Senshi and Knights smiled at each other over the connection the two had.
Suddenly the door to the resturaunt was blow open. By now the rest of the people in the place had returned to normal with no memory of their nap except a vague memory of a dream. Screams split the air as they fled through the kitchen and out the back door as three men stepped inside.
Silence quickly moved in front of Hotaru as Opposite Uranus glared at him.
"Traitor!" Opposite Uranus hissed causing Opposite Neptune to shoot him a troubled look. "You will come abck to our side!"
Silence shook his head while Moon Knight yelled. "Minna! Henshin Yo! Moon Knight Transform!" Sean held his hands flat in front of himself and his sword appeared resting across his palms. Grabbing the hilt he turned the sword and a bright flash of moonlight shot from it. He was now wearing a black bodysuit with silver armor over it and golden moons were sprinkled across his chest plate. He sliced the sword down causing his hair to flare up and a crescent moon to appear on his forehead.
"Earth Eternal Make Up!" The white crown flew from the brown pen, swirling around her. Slowly vines grew out from the crown until it was a mass of vines, then the deep green vines surronded her. With a flash of light the vines turned into her fuku. Her skirt was multilayered, the bottom a deep brown and the top pure white. Her long green bows were streaked with white. She wore green boots which went halfway up to her knees and had small heels. She also had a pair of snowy white wings on her back. The henshin stick reappeared in her hands and the double dagger sign in the gem appeared on her forehead as her henshin stick broke into two daggers made of jade stone. “Eternal Sailor Earth!” She stated, posing with her legs spread and looking up at the two daggers crossed over her head.
"Mars Knight Transform!" Flamme snatched his crossbow from his dimensional pocket and fired a bolt up into the air. Fire rained down around him and as they touched his skin he was standing in his transformed outfit. He also wore a black bodysuit but his armour was red and he had the mars symbol. His hair blew back in a breeze and he held his cross bow in one hand.
"Venus Knight Transform!" Ange yelled out. The links on his whip started to glow, then beams of light shot around him covering his body. After only seconds of the warmth the light faded, leaving him transformed as Venus Knight.
"Venus Eternal Make Up!" She threw the hand with her pen up in the air over her head and the crown dropped off it. A ribbon of shimmering gold hearts came from the center of the crown and wrapped around her body forming her fuku, white body suit with a double layered skirt of gold and white. Her navy bows were offset by more white and her lovely wings fluttered softly in the breeze. The pen left her hand and reappeared in front of her face. She blinked once and the sign from the pen imprinted itself on her forehead. Then the pen shimmered and formed into her long chain of golden hearts as she posed.
"Saturn Knight Transform!" Silence raised his gun and shot a bullet straight forward. The bullet then turned, becoming and engulfing blackness the covered his body. When it faded he was wearing a black bodysuit and purple armor with small saturn symbols on it.
"Saturn Eternal Make Up!" Hotaru yelled lifting her pen up in the air over her head and the crown dropped off it. A shower of black silence came from the center of the crown and wrapped around her body forming her fuku, white body suit with a double layered skirt of purple and white, much like the others, however her uniform had the same small differences as before. Her bows were offset by more white and her lovely wings fluttered softly in the breeze. The pen left her hand and reappeared in front of her face. She blinked her large purple eyes and the sign from the pen imprinted itself on her forehead. Then the pen shimmered and formed into her deadly Silence Glaive.
"I won't go back to evil!" Saturn Knight yelled to his former commrades. "And I won't let you hurt Princess Saturn or any other of other Princesses!" He aimed his gun at Opposite Uranus. "Destruction Bullet!" He screamed, firing the gun. A bullet of pure nothing shot towards Opposite Uranus hitting the surprised soldier in the chest.
Opposite Uranus fell backwards his eyes stunned while Sailor Saturn grinned. "I think it's obvious who he choose." Her eyes closed and she smiled as she felt his love. "Eternal Silence!" She cried out. Darkness gathered on the end of her glaive and she yanked it downwards. The powerful attack of the soldier of destruction shot forward, hitting Opposite Uranus as he started to get back up.
Oppoiste Uranus fell to the ground unconcious with a tortured yell.
Opposite Pluto and Opposite Neptune shot Saturn Knight looks of mingled sadness and approval and dissappeared with Opposite Uranus while Saturn Knight and Sailor Saturn joined hands.
