What the Hell is Going on Here?; Something strange is happening in Miranda Castle! Could it be...the enemy?

Once Haruka's energy was up again, Michiru had pointed out the fact that if it was a real emergency, they should use the teleporters instead of a shuttle. While the chance of sickness was greater, it took a fraction of the time.

By the time they arrived at Miranda Castle, Haruka was seriously missing her abilities to teleport without use of modern technology. Maybe one day, when Ito had fully accepted her new role, Haruka's own powers would even out and she might get lucky enough to learn how again.

Her stomach churned as they were greeted by servants. Leaning against a wall over the silver trash can someone had placed before her, she focused on not losing her lunch.

Haku Had been standing still the whole time, As much as he wanted to dash out of here it was imperative he stay. Haku gasped he felt his head burn with a sharp cry The Symbol of Oberon appeared very brightly on his brow and it flared he had another sharp cry as he fell to his knees and his armor reverted to one of casual palace wear. He winced he could see the guards curious of what was happening Haku couldn't speak something was close and it burned with The Power of Uranus for some reason...was it....maybe...Princess Caela?

Though she felt a bit dizzy after the mechanical teleportation, Michiru was not nearly as sick as Haruka seemed to be. For a moment the teal-haired Queen rested a hand on her lover's shoulder while she emptied her stomach, but judging by the 'upset bees nest' feeling in the air, they really didn't have a lot of time to spend on recovering.

"Majesties! I'm so glad you've arrived!" one of the lieutenants of their guard approached with what amounted to 'frenzy' in one of their police force. Never had she seen one of the Guard look so haggard and uncertain! He bowed with a swiftness that might have been considered rude if not for the clear urgency of the situation.

"What is going on? Haruka and I sensed something from the Castle only a few moments before..."

"To be honest, my Queen, we're not sure what is going on. We do know that something--reacted is the best phrase we've come up with--inside the palace, itself. Whatever it was, it sent a beam of light from INSIDE the palace outside...and the palace computers have been going haywire, ever since. Further, it seems Guardian Uranus is missing, and to add icing to this most bitter of cakes, someone else breached Miranda's shielding to gain access to the main throne room via teleportation about half an hour AFTER the Castle's activity. The intruder has been apprehended, and without mishap. In fact, he gave himself up willingly, but has been asking for Her Majesty Ten'oh." and here the man turned toward Haruka, having previously been doing a remarkable job of not staring at her while she recovered.

"Does this man have a name?" Michiru asked before Haruka had a chance to speak. It seemed so much had happened while they had been gone. What had happened to the Castle? And where was Guardian Uranus? 'Perhaps I need to contact Triton...' Michiru thought to herself while she waited for the Lieutenant's response.

"I am unaware of it at this time, Majesty. The Captain is with him, now. They have him in a holding cell and she sent me to contact you, immediately."

Haruka took the water a servant offered her and rinsed her mouth. To say this past week had sucked balls was an understatement. Her granddaughters' lives at risk at every turn, Ito fighting the power of Uranus making it seem to flux between them, and now a breech to the castle.

There was a feeling in the air, one she could not explain. It felt familiar, tickling her past life memories... she didn't like it. She'd done her damnedest to let go of her past, both from the Silver Millennium and its haunting loneliness and her life with her 'family' in America when they turned her out for being a 'dyke.' She'd focused her life on moving forward, racing away from the pain and onto the future. With Michiru, she'd finally found a place that felt like home, where she could be herself and not worry about being kicked to the curb for it. They'd even been able to have children together thanks to Usagi-chan and the powers of the mysterious silver crystal.

Now it felt like her world was just crumbling apart and whatever had penetrated her home had come to do more damage and make her deal with a past she'd just rather forget.

"Keep them there," she said, straightening up, her shoulders square. "I'm going to go find Guardian Uranus."

This was not how she would normally handle this situation. It would be interrogate first, search for the guardian second. She could easily fool herself into believing that the person who was able to infiltrate her castle was not the reason the Guardian was lost. It could just as easily be because Ito was fighting taking on the powers of Uranus.

Her mind refused to acknowledge that she was afraid to face whoever or whatever lay in wait under her guards' watch.

The Guards got there orders. "Come with us Or we will have to use force"

"I will comply I have no reason to fight you your part of the Uranus palace guards so i will comply" The guard cuffed Haku as he took it relaxing on that note soon his armor was removed being in more of his casual outfit that he was in a yellow shirt and black pants and shoes of sorts. His hair was a Brown short ear length as he looked around at the castle relaxing as they brought him in to a room and sat him in a chair.

"You wait here some one will be in here momentarily a guard is outside you try anything you will be detained."

"Understood....You have any water."

The Guard signaled and soon a glass of water was brought in as they un cuffed him and left haku alone. There was a Mirror but it was a looking glass from the other side as he leaned back relaxing in the chair sipping the water.

"I wonder what they use this room for it has to be new i do not remember anything like this when I use to be here..." Haku said to him self.

Meanwhile, Michiru had a strong feeling she knew exactly who had infiltrated the palace and why he'd given himself up so willingly. However, everything else the liutenant described was just as much a mystery. Only Haruka would be able to really get to the bottom of it, either. Frowning softly, she turned toward her lover as the woman straightened her back, only to lick dry lips when the blonde decided to find Guardian Uranus, first, rather than interrogate the 'intruder.'

"Haruka..." yet, it was imperative they find out what happened to the Guardian and where she was...and it was clear Haruka wasn't ready to face whatever was waiting for them in the interrogation room. "Where should we start?" the palace was quite large, after all, and if the Guardian hadn't been found by their palace guard, then she either wasn't there at all, or she was cleverly hidden. If Michiru had access to the Mirror, then she would have been a bit more help, but it seemed this may well be up to Haruka, alone.

However, it seemed they were going to have some luck, because if Haruka focused, she'd easily be able to sense that the Guardian was in the palace, somewhere. Further more, there was a strange fluxing of power coming from deep within the palace. Now that she was a bit more calm and in control of her body, the blonde would probably wonder why she hadn't sensed that power, before. It practically screamed at her to come to it, calling to her as nothing else had. She'd know, instantly, that it was tied to the planet, tied to her very core, and yet it was like nothing she'd have ever sensed before. Except...perhaps when she transformed. Yes, that was the familiarity...it was as if the planet, itself, were reaching out to her from somewhere deep within the palace, drawing her forward...

Michiru didn't try to change her mind, didn't try to make her take the path others would. She'd always been that way. Even when they'd first met.

When Haruka had at first refused to be Sailor Uranus, refused to be Sailor Neptune's partner, Michiru had fought on without her. She wouldn't force this destiny on her no matter how much it hurt to face the monsters of this world alone. It had only been when Sailor Neptune had been in danger, could have died, that Haruka had made herself grow up.

She'd thought she'd been happy alone. Nothing but her and the wind that flew past her in races. She'd taken care of herself so long that she'd thought herself an adult. It wasn't until she'd picked up that henshin wand and fought beside her Michiru that Haruka had realized just how much of a child she'd been. Running away, never wanting to let people too close because she didn't think she could stand being thrown away like garbage again.

Michiru knew her past now, accepted that it wasn't something Haruka wanted to talk about. The American family she'd been born to had rejected her because she didn't like men. They'd called her disgusting, a dyke, and any other insulting slur they could think of. Her own father who she'd always looked up to had kicked her out of his house.

Haruka had never let anyone close to her again until Michiru. Had never planned a future or a family until her.

Now, Haruka felt like that child running away from her past yet again. It was ridiculous, she knew, her family hadn't even given her the satisfaction of rejecting them after she became queen. But she just had this feeling that something lay in this castle she wasn't ready to face yet. Might never be ready to face it.

Taking Michiru's hand, she closed her eyes and tried to focus on the Guardian of the daughters of Uranus. A miniature version of herself or would she look like Ito now?

A flash of light and the two Queens disappeared.

Opening her eyes, Haruka looked around. "Is this... a prayer room?" she asked. It reminded her of the tower room that the Moon Queens had always used. "Are we still in the palace?" she looked around, outside the window lay the large orb that was the planet Uranus.

Back in the brig, Haku had been patient. He got up, finally, after sipping his water; it seemed forever, he needed to stretch as he got up and just lightly paced the room.

"Oi, they said I would be dealt with shortly....it feels like a eternity so far....." looking up he saw a clock. "According to the clock, if that is what they wanna call it, it has been only 10 minutes since my arrival in this room..I hope they hurry up..."



Michiru blinked, completely surprised by the place they appeared in. The room was done in gold, blue, and white...the colors of Uranus. The spire at the center was a crystaline structure and it was glowing, pulsing like a heart-beat.

"It...does appear to be a prayer room..." Michiru whispered, turning on her heel to take in the entire room. Behind them stood the massive double-doors, which stood slightly ajar; something was glowing outside those doors.


"Haruka." Michiru tapped her lover's shoulder before walking toward the doors to open it further. The glow was coming from a golden orb that was resting in the corner of the ante-chamber. At the center of the orb was a familiar figure, clearly unconcious but seemingly unharmed. "I found Guardian Uranus." she announced, moving forward to check on the little sprite.

Crouching in front of tiny golden globe of energy, Michiru frowned. There was nothing about the energy that seemed familiar, and she could only assume it must be from the 'Hatter' that Mel had told them of. Biting her lower lip, Michiru reached out, but before her fingertips touched the orb it popped with a spark of light and was gone, leaving the sprite behind.

Gingerly Michiru picked up the tiny form, cupping it in her hands before gently tapping the Guardian on the forehead. "Guardian Uranus? Are you alright?" she whispered even as she turned back around and headed back into the room.


In the meantime, Haruka would feel the pull of the spire at the center of the room...

After finding the Spirit who was less than helpful with what had happened exactly - well she was a bit shaken up - Haruka had no choice but to go and confront the intruder in her domain.

Leading the way, she and Michiru headed to the interrogation room where the young man seemed none-too-pleased to be left waiting.

Taking a moment to take in his appearance, spiky hair that fell in his face, lean body. Her mind automatically calculating just what his speed would be in a race.

There was a tickling in her mind, memories of her past life wanting to snake their way forward but she tamped them down. Just like she didn't like to dwell on her life before she met Michiru, she didn't like dwelling on the Silver Millennium. The past was the past and that was were it should stay.

Pushing open the door, she kept her face void of emotion. She didn't sit, but stared down at the young man. "Want to explain how you got in here?"

Haku saw the door swing open....no fucking way, it was her. From her eyes she may not be just the princess any more.

"Lady Caela it has been far to long....honestly i don't know how i got here i was talking to a Hatter when he grabbed me teleported me here with out him and i was surrounded by the guards...i didn't fight after i realized where i was and..."

A Sharp silence came from in front of him Caela didn't seem pleased or want to hear this...what was her problem. "Still a hard exterior to crack Caela Relax will you i barely know whats going on."

He sipped the water he had been given before and looked to her. "Look can some one tell me what is going on all I know is I woke up by a guy named Hatter."

There's that name again, Haruka thought. Hatter. These men suddenly showing up seemed to be focused around a man none of them knew but seemed to know more about their castles than the Queens themselves.

An onslaught of past memories threatened but she fought them, gripping the side of the stainless steel table, refusing to let them in. Those memories belonged to another life, another her, they weren't for now and she refused to allow them entrance.

As bad as some of her past memories in this life where, they were nothing compared to the never ending loneliness that haunted her in the Silver Millennium.

"Do not sit there and pretend you know me beyond a name that comes in any history book of a long since dead princess," Haruka replied. "I am Queen Haruka of Uranus and Neptune. You are in my home without invitation." That part really irritated her considering what had just happened to all of her granddaughters. The thought that a stranger could force his way into what should have been the safest place on Uranus caused her heart to shutter. "Instead of asking questions, you should focus on answering them. Who are you? Who is Hatter?"

'It is Haku...' Michiru stood at Haruka's back, watching the scene unfold in silence. The moment she had gazed upon the man their guards had taken into custody, the memories of her past life had flooded forward, once again, filling in the gaps that had been left after reuniting with Mel. It was disconcerting to have those memories return, most especially since they were from her CHILDHOOD on the moon, prior to taking up her post at the Triton Castle; but unlike her lover, Michiru was not the type to push such memories away.

Where Haruka wished to forget her past, entirely, Michiru prefered to have the memories come forward so that she could accept any lessons that may be had from having them, and then let them go in a healthy fashion. She was not the type to dwell on or live in the past, but she knew that only by acceptance and understanding of her own past would she ever succeeded in living in her present and planning for the future. For decades she had tried to show Haruka this benefit, but the blonde simply did not wish to live this way. It was something Michiru had long-ago learned to accept, though she always prayed someday Haruka would change her mind set, lest the past begin to haunt their happy lives.


'If she hasn't changed by now, she's not going to...' Michiru thought to herself as she watched the tension mount within her lover. Haruka's every fiber seemed to shiver with her efforts to push her memories away, and her anger only seemed to rise the more they shoved themselves forward. Then there was the anger Haku's presence left in the blonde; and it wasn't because it was Haku--though that probably didn't help--the truth was Haruka would have been angry at anyone that was standing in her brig after somehow infiltrating their palace, help or no help.

Still, anger was not going to help their situation, nor was yelling at the 'suspect.' Hoping to soothe her lover and help remind her that she did not need to do this alone, Michiru reached out and gently rested her hand on Haruka's shoulder. However, she chose not to speak, just yet. This was Haruka's palace, her kingdom, and though they shared ruling status over Uranus and Neptune, in this place Haruka took point. Just as in the Triton Castle, Michiru would have taken point. So she waited, patiently, for Haruka to acknowledge her desire to say something.

Haku sighed and shook his head to Haruka and finished the water standing up defying any gentleman like statue he just had.

"Look Haruka....if that's your name now what ever look, I don't know whats going on, I don't know this Hatter...I do know I am Haku Guardian of Uranus, Your training friend and body guard. I helped you become a scout. I was there for you every step of the way and did what Seto, Mel, and I had to do to even make sure you weren't forgotten! The fact we had to leave people we knew for several year behind to let you fulfill your destiny hurt us as much as you three being alone! Don't think because its a new age where everything is different I changed I been in stasis for good god knows how ever long it is..I think Hatter said 5000 or something Years I know you inside and out Haruka!"

He began to go over everything he knew about the Old Haruka weather that applied now or not was beyond him.

OOC: Triton, I'm having a hard time replying to this post, I'm sorry. Can you please go back and used correct punctuation and capitalization? I'm sort of having to read and reread and reread and I'm still not 100% sure what's going on.

It looks like at one point he got slapped? Who the heck slapped him? I know Haruka didn't and Michiru is calm so I know she didn't. They're the only ones in the room with him. Is he going psycho?

These are all legitimate questions. I'm just really, really confused right now and unable to reply because of it.

OOC: My apologies for that Lady While i was typing the post i thought i typed it out correct it should be better my English is mostly bad enough but Since Haruka is needing a Explanation he is now trying to explain to her in a strong tone the slap came from me just honestly running the scene in my head and as In the dashes will tell you he began telling Haruka what he knows about her in side and out from the silver millennium i just imagined Haruka Slapping Haku for just talking nonsense. my fault i was trying to get a hold of you about it but i have trouble reaching you and Dragon. I hope that post is a bit clearer now for you.

Haruka curled her lip at this man who stood there and claimed to know her. Even if he had known her in a past life, it was just that. A past life. It wasn't who she was anymore.

"My name is Ten'ou Haruka," she interrupted his reminiscing. "I was born in America in the late 20th century. I met my wife when I was a teenager living in Japan. You," she poked him in the chest. "Do not know me."

Turning on Michiru who probably wanted to comfort this guy as she had the last one, she waved a hand at him. "Do with him what you wish. I don't want anything to do with him."

With that, she quit the room.

Haku watched her leave the room he was not sure what was going on through his mind but he needed, no...he wanted to at least find more answers. He turned to Michiru and sighed and leaned to the wall.

"5000....years....i guess i couldn't be expected to be remembered.....is it true though Is Medic....awake.....is he actually alive?"

He looked right at Michiru and sighed.

"I feel abandoned now....please give me release from here if you can and take me to Medic...Please if Haruka will not take a moment to know me i would like to at least find my comrade. Do you have anything you wish to add."

Haku Asked Michiru as he took his seat again finally his heart feeling cold suddenly.

OOC: You're doing fine Triton! Don't mistake Character Reaction for Player Reaction. :) Haruka is all pissy right now, but I know Eva doesn't feel that way. :D
As for Nimbus...hehe, so sorry. I'll talk to Eva about that one. You'll probably need to e-mail it AGAIN. So sorry!


Listening intently to the conversation at hand, Michiru stood in the background still holding the unconcious Guardian Uranus and trying to seem unobtrusive. She remained close to the door, though she did not block anyone's ability to leave, and silently dismissed the Guard while Haruka and Haku exchanged words. Not that it went that well. By the time the Guards had filed out, Haruka's entire body was stiff as a board and trembling. Did the blonde realize how on edge she was? Probably not.

Michiru could practically hear Haruka's teeth grinding with fury, and she could well imagine the cold, impersonal look on her face, and the slightly enraged look in her teal eyes. The fact was, Michiru knew Haruka all too well, and knew that she did not face the past, or her feelings regarding it, at all. She never had.

So when Haruka suddenly interrupted Haku in his attempts to explain his situation and prove his identity, Michiru was not entirely surprised. The barely controlled rage in Haruka's voice, the imposing way she approached the blond man and poked at his chest, and the complete dismissal of everything the two of them had once shared, were all not a surprise to Michiru; but they were a disapointment. She watched with a heavy heart as Haruka turned her back on Haku, exclaiming that he was HER problem, now, and stormed out of the room. If Haruka saw the disapointment in Michiru's expression, she did not respond to it.

By this time Guardian Uranus had finally come-to, though Michiru hadn't had a chance to say anything to her. Still, it seemed the Guardian sprite was well aware of the situation, or she had grasped it in the short time she'd woken up and heard what was going on between Haku and Haruka. As Haruka stormed past her, Michiru gave the guardian a look, and the guardian simply shook her head and flew after the blonde. Hopefully SHE would be able to get through to Haruka..if the sprite even tried, that is.

In all honesty Michiru was surprised Haruka didn't slam the door behind her when she left, but the heavy wood still shut with a heavy finality, leaving Michiru alone with Haku in the room. Sighing heavily, Michiru closed her eyes for a moment to gather her thoughts and her emotions, placing them in check. When she turned back to Haku, he was leaning against the wall and looking rather lost and uncertain.

Unlike Medic, Haku was not as prone to bouts of depression, but it was clear this meeting had not gone as he had hoped, and he was just as upset by it as she was. Probably even more, since he may not understand Haruka's position and feelings, whereas Michiru did.

"It's not so much that you are not remembered, Haku, it is that Haruka wishes NOT to remember, and so holds those memories at bay. Someday, though I know not when, she will face them...." though she doubted it would be any time soon, and it probablyu wouldn't be until Michiru gilted her into it...something the teal-haired beauty did not relish doing.

"As for Medic, yes. He is awake...he was awakened in the same fashion as you. Speaking of, before I can release you or do anything else, I need to know as much about Hatter as possible. Medic wasn't able to offer much beyond the man's ability and willingnes to waken him, and send him after me. Is it the same with you?" as she spoke, Michiru crossed the room toward the simple pair of chairs that had been placed in the room. She took a seat and motioned for Haku to do the same.

"You must understand, this Hatter individual...well, we fear he is a threat to our system. His intentions may seem noble, but we know nothing of him or his motives...Is there anything you can tell me of your encounter with him that may be useful?"

[Ok then just shoot me a Email Keyblademastersora10@yahoo.com i tried to post to the boards so it be easier for you both]

Haku bit his lip the initial pain from the attack from hatter before made it hard to forget the man He sighed and walked back and forth pacing lightly.

"He is a bit frightening he is a bit of a mystery one thing i can say is he had a want to awaken the guardians he knew about us...and wants us to help the new scouts...that was clear....how ever...he is powerful when i almost asked what was his purpose he did deliver a guttural attack with his knee that i must admit felt through my armor."

Haku thought about it a moment and sighed.

"He does feel like a danger though even i couldn't determine from what we talked about what his true intentions are....I would stay cautious...my bets are he will be after Seto next..if that is true...we may want to catch him in the act and catch him our selves..."

Haku looked to her and sighed again this was a bit upsetting but right now just getting on his feet would be better then doing nothing.

OOC: Hey Triton! I had Eva post the interaction between Hatter and Haku in this topic, so we can go back and read it and remember what happened! I honestly couldn't remember everything, it had been so long since I wrote it. I do know Hatter did sort of attack him, in that he pinned him to a wall, but he didn't knee Haku, just pushed into him. lol. No worries, though. Anyway, I think it is important that you re-read that message. There's a lot of useful information in it that Haku should share with Michiru. If your not sure what it is, we can just do a gloss-over in the next post.


"He attacked you?" Michiru bit her lip, then shook her head. "So...you're telling me he wanted you to protect the new Senshi? That he woke you for that purpose?" she played with a curl of hair absently while she thought this over. "Why would he attack you if he wanted to help us by awakening you? Did he give you nothing about his purpose? I mean, Medic...well, Hatter barely spoke two words to him. Just told him that it was the future and how to find me."

Haku Stood straight up and focused the mark of Uranus charged bright on his brow and he began to try and recall just about a hour or how ever long ago.

"He told me because of us leaving the current princess's died in the silver millennium, that it was crucial the protect the current ones....His Purpose unclear...but he felt like he had something to prove or do....dang i am trying to remember."

Haku's symbol grew brighter the thoughts running to his mind in powerful formation trying to sort out his thoughts.

Haku thought about it from the start.

"He did say If you need something to call me...well...I have no friends, but my enemies call me Hatter. That's as good a title as any, Which concludes he may not be using his real name..."

his mind still coming back so the Answer he gave while known was still part of the memory.

"When i asked him what his Purpose was he said...Peace..."

his Symbol grew brighter.....and brighter....

"let's see...HE also blamed me for the Deaths of all the princess in the silver millennium due to me,Seto, and Medic not being there."

His thoughts were rushing back trying to reach the end.

"And once i Defied hatter and fought that Dispute he rushed me and pressed his Hand in to me as if to put emphasis that he was right and i was wrong. there was a great power behind that hand as even my guardian armor could feel the over whelming pressure of it as he pressed in to me.and told me it was my job to Protect Ito....and i understand she has two names.....from my memory.."

Haku was putting his all in to this thought process wanting to give what he could.

"He also wanted to know would i even defy the Queen and Princess of Uranus, and even the current queen and King to protect The Planet of Uranus and its royalty...."

-the symbol Faded and he knelt down by the table his thinking back made him tired and worn out.-
