Chapter 4 – FACE OFF


Zoisite. Who was he? Did he know me? Of my past? Of my dreams? Of why I was haunted by them? Questions upon questions crashed upon me that night but it had been too late to find out anything from him. He had disappeared, probably incapacitated by Venus' direct beam shot at him. I had been too late to stop her. Though except for wanting some answers, why I had felt an instinctual reaction to stop her was beyond me. He had been the enemy after all. Someone who had wanted to hurt the senshi, hurt Sailor Moon and that was something I could not allow. But when he had faded away, I felt pain. As if someone dear to me had been taken from me.

It started in the battle that took place at the I.O.Z Hall. I had just reached there in time to prevent Zoisite from brainwashing Sailor Moon, but as I gripped his hand, a shock of recognition had passed through me. He seemed to know me as well, and just as suddenly, I had been in the dream again.

It was more potent than the ones I had while sleeping. I was almost there, instead of just being an observer. The images were still indistinct and hazy but I saw the girl in my dreams again, and she sounded clearer than ever. This time though, I realized that she was a princess. I did not even know how I knew that. I just did. But the most astonishing thing was that I saw myself standing next to her in a formal attire. That had never happened before. And I had been aware that I was not alone in this vision. Zoisite was there too. He had been seeing everything I was seeing. It lasted a moment before we were thrown apart from the energy.

"Who are you?" He had demanded. But there was almost a kind of recognition on his face.

I could not answer him then. I needed answers myself.


The images had haunted me for days after that. My brain had been overworked, exploding with the possibilities. I couldn't shake off the feeling that Zoisite and I were connected somehow, impossible as it seemed at that time.

It was then Sailor V or Sailor Venus as she called herself, revealed herself as the princess. I could not put my finger to it, but I had known something was not right. At least, she was probably not my princess but I could not be totally sure. After all, how many princesses could there be? Especially a princess connected to the Sailor Senshi. It could not be that much of a coincidence. Yet I could not reconcile her to the princess in my dreams. Or maybe it was simply an overload of information and my brain had finally shut down. In any case, when I saw Zoisite gunning for her, I had swiftly stepped in.

I could not attack though. Neither could he.

Venus had taken that opportunity to blast him with her energy beam and he faded into nothingness, leaving me with two words.

"Master Endymion."

A strangely familiar name. A name I should know but didn't at that time.

Was that my name?

All I knew at that time was, it was probably the key to my memories.
