Sailor Moon Defenders

Chapter Forty-Five: Power
"What are you doing?"
Startled, Amy turned around as a pile of clothes dropped to the floor. She turned around to see Hotaru and Kshin by the doorway.
"Oh." she stammered. "I… I was…"
"You levitated a pile of clothes in the air." Hotaru stated in a matter of fact tone.
"Um," Amy nodded, "kind of yeah."
She knew there was no denying it now. She had inherited these powers from both of her parents as they were both powerful magicians but she had hoped to have been able to keep it from them from everyone else, at least at first.
"We didn't know you had that power." Kshin spoke up. Hotaru only looked in curiosity.
Of course they didn't know. Nobody did. She had just found out she was indeed the daughter of Mandrake the Magician and not only met a group of heroes he was working with known as the Defenders of the Earth but she also met a powerful group of girls known as the Sailor Guardians. At least three of those Sailor Guardians don't seem to trust her but she wasn't sure about the rest of them as they appear to be friendly to her, although Usagi acted a little jealous when Mamoru was warming up to her. She assumed she must be his girlfriend so she saw that to be natural.
She wondered how the Sailor Guardians would react when they found out about her powers. Would they consider her a threat or would they be accepting of her?
"Does anyone else know about this?" Hotaru asked, pulling Amy from her thoughts.
"No they don't." Amy shook her head.
"But why?" Kshin asked. "I for one think telekinesis is an amazing power and you can bond with Mandrake that way."
She bit her lip. Mandrake seemed to be nervous around her and in shock about the revelation of her being his daughter. Amy could understand why but had hoped they would connect somehow.
"Will you tell them?" Hotaru asked.
"Yeah." Amy nodded. "Someday."
That was indeed the truth. She did plan to tell when she was more comfortable around her father and the rest of the group. Right now, she felt like a stranger.
"Is it because Daddy Haruka, Mommy Michiru and Mommy Setsuna don't trust you?" Hotaru asked as she stepped forward.
"Yeah." Amy nervously nodded. "That's part of the reason."
"They hardly trust anyone outside of the group," Hotaru assured her, "especially any newcomers. Just ask Usagi and the others. They didn't even trust me when they first met me."
"They didn't?" Amy looked at her, surprised.
"It's a long story." Hotaru answered.
Moments later, Amy gave the two a pleading look. "Can you two keep this to yourselves, please?"
Hotaru looked a bit hesistant at first.
"Okay fine. I'll do it," Kshin sighed, "but I really think you should tell Mandrake."
"Or if you are not comfortable with him," Hotaru added, "you should at least tell someone else."
"Aren't you going to keep it secret?" Amy asked her.
Hotaru sighed before speaking up. "I shouldn't but I will."
"Promise?"
"Promise." Hotaru and Kshin answered in unison.
"I don't know anyone else quite well but I guess when the time is right, I'll tell them." Amy stated.
"Promise?" Hotaru and Kshin asked in unison.
"Promise." Amy answered.
"It's a cool power," Kshin stated. "I wish I had powers too, like not only Mandrake, but Jedda and Rick too."
"Jedda and Rick?" Amy looked confused.
"They used to be a part of the team," Kshin explained, "but they had to leave because Rick's powers were being targeted by evil forces, including Ming. It is also considered for his safety after he became a Quasanite."
"As for Jedda," Hotaru added, "she became part Netherworlder after an accident but she's still part human. She took Hadea's offer to keep Rick safe as well as their children and became Queen of the Netherworld."
"That's interesting." Amy quipped in surprise. "How did Rick become a Quasanite?"
"His human body gave out as it was obtaining a dangerous amount of magical radiation." Hotaru explained. "He was saved from dying but he endured a scary transformation which was cured and completely changed him to a Quasanite."
"Most of his body is now Quasanite but he has some human features still." Kshin added. Hotaru nodded in agreement.
"What's a Quasanite?" Amy asked, confused. "Are they a humanoid race?"
"Yeah." Hotaru nodded. "From what we know. However, there is more to this race that could bring catastrophe if his powers fallen into evil hands."
Amy looked on in surprise before she glanced towards Hotaru and Kshin. "Can I tell you two a secret? I've got another power as well as the one you saw."
"Really?" Kshin asked in curiosity. "What is your other powers? Can we see?"
"Help me unpack and I can show you guys." Amy answered.
"Cool!" Kshin exclaimed in delight.
"Sure." Hotaru nodded.

Hotaru looked on in curiosity. Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna had sent her to keep their eye out on Amy while the others were fighting against Ming's forces outside Monitor. Kshin was probably with them because Mandrake asked him to stay behind as well.
As the three were unpacking stuff and placing them in places where Amy asked them to. She seemed to be just fine at the moment but she was keeping her guard up while being open to her.
A part of Hotaru thought just because Amy was also the daughter of Cathleen, didn't mean that she was evil just like her. She would just have to wait and see.
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
Mamoru was fighting alongside the others against Ming's forces outside Monitor. April and Flash were piloting while the others were fighting on the ground. He looked as Mandrake used a magical illusion to trick his opponent. Lothar used his strength and LJ used his martial arts skills to take down their respective opponents. When not using his handgun, the Phantom used his ten tigers attack to take down his opponents. Sheila used her invisibility to fight against her opponents and used her force field power to defend herself.
Then he glanced over at the powered up Sailor Guardians who were helping the Defenders on the ground.
"Dead Scream!"
"World Shaking!"
"Deep Submerge!"
Their attacks wiped out their opponents.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!"
Those attacks took out their opponents as well. Things were going smoothly so far as he had hoped, especially with the Sailor Guardians had upgraded to their Eternal forms. He looked up at Usagi, who leapt up in the air, aiming her attack for a robo ship preparing to take out the ships April and Flash were in as she leapt between their ships and the robo ships.
"Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!"
The attack took out the robo ship and spared both April and Flash.
Mamoru smiled. "Way to go, Usako."
"Mamoru, look out!" he heard Sheila shout.
He looked up as a small group of robot soldiers were coming towards her. He prepared for attack.
"Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber!"
Mamoru noticed a golden glow when he launched his attack which took out his opponent.
"Looks like that's it for Ming's army for the day." LJ declared.
"That was great power there, Mamoru." Lothar glanced at his ally.
"The Sailor Guardians have great power too." Mamoru looked up proudly.
Over A Year Ago
Mamoru found himself and Usagi falling to the floor. He looked up to see Mimete smirking at them.
"It's you!" Mamoru exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right!" Mimete declared. "Nothing personal, but work is work. I decided to take a different route in who's pure heart I will be taking today!"
He looked on in surprise, hoping that it wouldn't be Usagi like what happened to her on her birthday weeks ago. He didn't get a lot of time to think as Mimete put down her Death Busters suitcase.
"Daimon," Mimete called out, "show yourself!"
The Daimon appeared out of the suitcase, surrounded by orange flower petals.
"U Bara Bara Bara!"
Mamoru looked on in surprise and looked over at a startled Usagi. Before he could reach to her, the Daimon picked him up in its grasp.
"Mamo!" Usagi called out.
"Not this time, blondie!" Mimete threw her boomerang at her, causing her to fall to the floor.
"Usako!" Mamoru called out in shock before looking at the Daimon as it made him look at it.
"Now let's get this over with!" he heard Mimete shout.
Mamoru grunted a bit as the Daimon sucked air. The last thing he could remember was seeing his pure heart being extracted from him, then everything went black.
The next thing he knew, he started hearing voices.
"Mamo?" called the first voice.
"Mamo?" called the second voice.
At first his vision was blurry. After a little bit, he started to come to and noticed not only a transformed Usagi but also Chibiusa. They both looked at him with concern as his pure heart crystal must have been returned to him and the Daimon must have been destroyed. That was good.
"Are you all right, Mamo?" both Usagi and Chibiusa asked.
"Usako." Mamoru smiled. "Chibiusa."
The Present
"Are you okay?"
Startled, Mamoru turned around to see Amy.
"Yeah." Mamoru answered. "I just remembered a past battle."
"The one you guys just took part of?"
"No," Mamoru shook his head, "it was long before we met the Defenders of the Earth."
"Oh. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."
"Thanks." Mamoru said before pausing a moment. He glanced over at Amy as he held her hand, noticing something unusual about her. He sensed incredible energy within her. It made sense as she was the daughter to not only Cathleen but Mandrake as well. He was doing this because he had his own suspicion
"What's the matter?" Amy asked.
"I sense something." Mamoru answered. She looked at him with confusion and worry. "You have powers, don't you?"
Amy looked on in surprise. It was as if she was trying to keep this from him and possibly the others and this lead to another pause of silence.
"Yeah." Amy nodded, breaking the silence. "Telekinesis. Just as my Dad does."
"There's something else, isn't there?" Mamoru looked her in the eye as he released her hand. "Through touch, I can read someone's past, present and future."
Amy gulped at the statement. "Well, Kshin and Hotaru already know this, so since you can tell I have powers. I also have the power to dream walk."
"Dream walk?"
"Yes." Amy explained. "My mom trained me a bit before she left me in foster care."
"How experienced are you?" Mamoru asked, curious.
"Not that experienced." Amy answered. "I had Hotaru to come with me a few hours ago in Kshin's dream when I had him take a nap so that they could see the power for themselves."
Mamoru was surprised by this. Not only did this girl have telekinesis like her parents, but she had the ability to dream walk. She could actually be powerful. However, Mamoru couldn't help but to wonder if this would benefit the heroes or could it be a danger to them?
"When I think about it," Mamoru glanced at a window, "when I was thinking about that event of my past, it had a bit of a connection of a nightmare I have been recently having."
"What kind?" Amy asked.
"An apocalyptic kind of nightmare." Mamoru answered. "It ends with some monster coming after me, wanting something I have called the Golden Crystal."
"Golden Crystal?"
"All Sailor Guardians as well as myself have a crystal within us." Mamoru explained. "Sailor Moon has a powerful crystal known as the Silver Crystal and the others have crystals representing their respective planets."
"What does your crystal represent?"
"Earth."
There was another pause of silence.
"Why won't you reveal your powers to the others," Mamoru asked, "let alone your father?"
"I plan to tell them when the time is right." Amy answered. "When I feel comfortable with my father and the others. I revealed my powers to you since you could sense it and Kshin and Hotaru found out about them by accident. Not only that, three of your Sailor Guardians don't seem to like me all that much."
"Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna?"
Amy quietly nodded.
"Those three are not very trusting of strangers and newcomers." Mamoru replied. "Haruka and Michiru in particular weren't that trusting of Usako and her friends in the beginning until they learned she was their future princess."
"Future Princess?"
"I'll explain that another day." Mamoru replied before looking at her. "Don't let those three get to you. The rest of the Sailor Guardians are willing to warm up to you if you just let them in."
"I'll make note of that."
"And you should tell your father about your powers soon." Mamoru suggested. "Your father might be able to connect with you that way."
"Do you have children?" Amy asked, curious.
"Yeah." Mamoru nodded. "A future daughter. Usako and I have a daughter in the future. Long story there and I'll explain another day."
"Okay." Amy nodded before she left the room.
"Mamo, who were you talking to?" Usagi asked as she arrived in the room in her usual jealous like tone.
"Amy." Mamoru answered. "She was uncomfortable about revealing something that I sensed within her."
"What do you mean?" Usagi asked, now confused.
"Amy has powers that could prove to be valuable to the team." Mamoru explained. "She insisted on people not knowing right at the moment and said she will reveal them when the time was right."
"What kind of powers?"
"Telekinesis like Mandrake and the power of dream walking," Mamoru answered, "something her mother taught her. She said Kshin and Hotaru already knew of this. With all this, I wonder if this could help us in the future or if these powers could be a danger."
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
Amy walked down the hall with a small smile on her face. She felt a little satisfied after talking to Mamoru and after hanging out with Hotaru and Kshin. Mamoru seemed to be nice on both times she talked to him. Hotaru seemed to be weary of her but at least she was appearing to warm up to her unlike her guardians Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna. Usagi may have acted jealous when she talked to Mamoru as she found him kind of cute, but she was otherwise appeared to have a caring and sensitive side. Ami was thoughtful. Both Rei and Minako were friendly and Makoto had an assertive nature.
As for the other Defenders aside from her father, Flash appeared to be distant, the Phantom wasn't as distant, at least he had warmed up to her. Sheila was friendly. Lothar was surprised at her being the daughter to his close friend. LJ was friendly, maybe a little too friendly. April wasn't trusting.
She wondered how she would fit within the team when and if she revealed her powers. Only time would tell.
Mamoru found himself and Usagi falling to the floor. He looked up to see Mimete smirking at them.
"It's you!" Mamoru exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right!" Mimete declared. "Nothing personal, but work is work. I decided to take a different route in who's pure heart I will be taking today!"
He looked on in surprise, hoping that it wouldn't be Usagi like what happened to her on her birthday weeks ago. He didn't get a lot of time to think as Mimete put down her Death Busters suitcase.
"Daimon," Mimete called out, "show yourself!"
The Daimon appeared out of the suitcase, surrounded by orange flower petals.
"U Bara Bara Bara!"
Mamoru looked on in surprise and looked over at a startled Usagi. Before he could reach to her, the Daimon picked him up in its grasp.
"Mamo!" Usagi called out.
"Not this time, blondie!" Mimete threw her boomerang at her, causing her to fall to the floor.
"Usako!" Mamoru called out in shock before looking at the Daimon as it made him look at it.
"Now let's get this over with!" he heard Mimete shout.
Mamoru grunted a bit as the Daimon sucked air. The last thing he could remember was seeing his pure heart being extracted from him, then everything went black.
The next thing he knew, he started hearing voices.
"Mamo?" called the first voice.
"Mamo?" called the second voice.

"Are you all right, Mamo?" both Usagi and Chibiusa asked.
"Usako." Mamoru smiled. "Chibiusa."
This is an AU of a Sailor Moon S episode where Usagi, Chibiusa and Mamoru took Hotaru to a botanical garden for a picnic. In a twist, I had it where Mimete decided to go after Mamoru after spotting him instead of her original intended target, a botanist in a twist of events if you will.
"I sense something." Mamoru answered. She looked at him with confusion and worry. "You have powers, don't you?"
Amy looked on in surprise. It was as if she was trying to keep this from him and possibly the others and this lead to another pause of silence.
"Yeah." Amy nodded, breaking the silence. "Telekinesis. Just as my Dad does."

"How experienced are you?" Mamoru asked, curious.
"Not that experienced." Amy answered. "I had Hotaru to come with me a few hours ago in Kshin's dream when I had him take a nap so that they could see the power for themselves."
The power Mamoru has in this scene is revealed in the manga in possibly Crystal. His healing power was revealed in the anime as well. There's more to Mamoru Chiba than a simple rose throwing.
"When I think about it," Mamoru glanced at a window, "when I was thinking about that event of my past, it had a bit of a connection of a nightmare I have been recently having."
"What kind?" Amy asked.
"An apocalyptic kind of nightmare." Mamoru answered. "It ends with some monster coming after me, wanting something I have called the Golden Crystal."
"Golden Crystal?"
"All Sailor Guardians as well as myself have a crystal within us." Mamoru explained. "Sailor Moon has a powerful crystal known as the Silver Crystal and the others have crystals representing their respective planets."
"What does your crystal represent?"
"Earth."
This little bit plays as a foreshadowing of the remainder of Volume Five, starting with Chapter 47 regarding Mamoru, Amy and Amy's dream walking powers. That's something to look forward to. The next chapter is something special regarding Rick, Jedda and Hadea. Stay tuned!
