The characters here are trademarks of their respective owners. I am not expecting any money from any story I write, and therefore am not taking any money away from the copyright holders. This series is an official sequel to my "Divided Destiny" series, which was at-the-time an unofficial sequel to my "Let The Punishment Be The Crime" story. Confused? It's understandable, as knowledge of those stories is basically required to enjoy this one, though the important stuff will likely be covered here anyway. Thanks to Lady Jupiter (LadyJupiter@SailorJupiter.com) as her works inspired me to write fanfiction in the first place, and also to His Lordship Chaos (hislordshipchaos@hotmail.com) for reasons described in Parts Zero through Four. I'm a huge Jupiter fan. That will become obvious as you read this and other stories by me, they are mostly Lita-centric. I will be using the NA dubbed names. Why? Because the previous part of this tale used NA names and this IS its sequel. This fic features the Scouts and Ken in Lady Jupiter's "Jupiter Knight" World where Ken is Lita's protector, Jupiter Knight. I have been given permission to do so. Also, it takes place before her "Remember When?" series and obviously after my "Divided Destiny" series. My other/future fanfics can be found at my "Writing" page at http://www.muskoka.com/~summertn/writing.html and probably anywhere else you got this fic from. This story was originally aimed to be a bit more humourous than its predecessor, but slowly switched towards duplicating it fairly well. Oh well. Divide By Zero Part Five - Back To The Way Things Were by Scott "Cyclops" Summerton Last Revised Saturday January 29th, 2000 --------------- "I'll go with you..." sobbed Sailor Jupiter, stuck in the form of an oak tree. "Just change everyone back to normal... please?" Freddie smiled yet again, but this time he actually looked happy instead of evil. "Of course!" He snapped his fingers. Screams and sobs were the dominant sounds immediately afterwards as everyone recovered from their transformations. Sailor Jupiter sank to her knees unsteadily as Freddie approached. "Lita?" he asked kneeling in front of her. "What's wrong?" "Why did you do this Freddie?" she asked. "Why didn't you just ask me to go with you in the first place?" The all-powerful enemy faultered. "I... well, I thought you'd say no." She actually smiled at him. "Oh Freddie..." She glanced to her friends as she began to stand. "I'd do anything... for my friends." Freddie was almost giddy. "Oh Lita! I thought that you'd..." He trailed off as he followed her gaze towards her companions. "You only mean them don't you? You don't mean me when you sai-" Freddie's question was interrupted however, as Sailor Jupiter caught him completely off guard with a right fist to his jaw. As he staggered backwards he could somewhat see Sailor Jupiter diving one side, while Sailor Moon, chanting "Moon Healing ACTIVATION!", was pointing some wand at him from another. Sailor Moon's attack hit him full force. She struggled under the force of her opposition, but after a few moments longer than usual, a hapless Freddie collapsed to the ground, completely free of the evil energies that had possessed him. Jupiter Knight, although glad the ordeal was over, still looked somewhat displeased. "So... it's over?" Sailor Mercury nodded as she scanned the area with her restored computer. "It's over. The Negaenergy has been completely disipated." She looked to Freddie, laying on the ground unconscious. "The only real injury on anybody is his jaw. It will likely be bruised for a week or so." Tuxedo Mask looked at Sailor Jupiter with surprise on his face. "You didn't break his jaw?" She shrugged. "Just because I caught him off guard doesn't mean he still wasn't super protected or anything." She shook her hand in the air as if drying it. "My hand DOES hurt though, thankfully nothing's broken." Sailor Venus surveyed the area. "So what do we do now?" "I think we should call an ambulance over for Freddie." stated Sailor Mars as she began to enter the temple. "Claiming a monster attack is the best excuse since it's basically the truth." "She's right," began Sailor Moon as she and her friends detransformed. Serena looked towards Sailor Pluto. "Pluto, do you have any idea what's been going on with all of this?" Pluto's eyes narrowed. "I remember everything that occured and why it did. Freddie sustained a head injury due to his being in a car accident about two weeks ago. That is when the Jupiters first had their rather pleasant dreams. Somehow Freddie's coma nightmare affected Ken and Lita, perhaps due to their magical nature, or perhaps merely out of guilt on his part." She shook her head. "Dreams are not as easy to analyze as time, and I'm afraid Raye won't be able to a clearer answer than I have." Mina blinked. "How do you know that?" "She'll say as much when you ask her later tonight at 9:18." She turned to the Ken and Lita. "As for the nightmares you've been having recently, those were caused by Freddie directly. They varied of course, one day you're reliving the loss of a loved one, the next you're experiencing what it would be like to lose one another." Ken smiled a weary smile. "It all makes sense, and it was so obvious. I feel like I just found a puzzle piece that I thought I'd forever lost weeks ago." Sailor Pluto frowned however. "This cannot be undone. Because of fate you cannot change the past, something I know you are all aware of." She sighed as she glanced towards Freddie. "Thankfully Freddie will remember none of this, so your secrets are safe. Given the fact that he did not attempt to steal energy, the Negaverse does not know what he was up to either. All save Raye should leave before he awakens as she is the only resident of these grounds here today." As always, no one disagrees with the time guardress, so everyone adjourned to the main room of the temple awaiting the arrival of the ambulance. Raye appeared mere moments after Sailor Pluto disappeared and informed everyone that the ambulance was on its way. Minutes later everyone watched as it arrived. The crew spoke briefly with Raye as they revived Freddie and determined he was no worse for wear. They then insisted he accompany them to the hospital based on his involvement in a monster attack. Freddie, suffering no injuries other than a sore jaw, was within his rights as he declined the request. The ambulance drove off shortly thereafter, and Freddie walked away himself after saying not a word to Raye whatsoever, leaving Lita with an uncanny feeling of deja vu. Frustrated, Raye reentered the temple. Upon seeing Lita she made a displeased face and blurted out "Explain something to me... THAT jerk is the old boyfriend you were so hung up on?!" Lita's face went red. "I emphasize the word 'WAS' in my defense..." Mina grabbed Lita's left arm while Serena grabbed the right. What shocked Lita even more was that Amy had a questioning gaze rivalling Raye's as she spoke. "I'm afraid that's not good enough, Lita." And with that the girls dragged the brunette into the sitting room. Even Luna had followed based on insatiable curiousity. Darien looked to Ken, who simultaneously looked to Darien. They sighed as they entered the room as well leaving Artemis alone in the hallway. The cat groaned as the very vocal gossip poured from the room. "It's going to be a LONG night..." TO BE CONCLUDED END PART FIVE --------------- One more part remains to be told, and I have His Lordship Chaos to thank for giving me the idea of what to do with it. I had always intended to to an epilogue-like part, but didn't know just what should take place in it other than a really quick scene that'd last a paragraph or too. An email with Chaos fixed all of that. It has to be written from scratch though, unlike the bulk of this story, but it shouldn't take too long to put together. No 12/26 ASMR for Cyclops?
