The future they all knew will not come to pass. The goddess that protects the Earth has returned for the final battle between the gods and humans. Can humans truly beat the wills of the gods?

12 years ago. Italy. December 24
"Oh, look Hyperion, isn't she beautiful. Our dearest wish has finally come true." A woman in her mid-20's with a peculiar hairstyle that look like buns with long silver streamers look up at the golden tanned man.
"She is beautiful Serenity. Our child. Born from our love. We have waited so long for such a blessing." The tanned man replied, sitting next to the silver haired woman.
"Let us enjoy our remaining time with her." Deep sadness crept into those beautiful blue orbs. And his heart clenched tightly in his chest. He had not lived long enough to give her their child. And they could not remain long in this world with their child. The high gods were just not allowed to live a normal human life. They had duties, rules to obey, and a cosmic law that needed to be kept. "Yes, let us enjoy this mundane mortal life while we can. Give her all the love we can give so that she can stay strong in her trials to come."
"Oh. . . Hyperion. Why is fate so cruel? All I ever wanted was to live a normal happy life with you. I would through away this godhood so quick for this chance."
"I know my love, I know. But the heaven needs the sun and the moon. Let us believe in her. She is strong." And he chuckled deeply in his chest, "She is our daughter after all. And you did well with your daughter Serenity III. She saved the world at so young an age."
She looked with him with tears threatening to fall from her eyes, "I'm so sorry Hyperion. I was so lonely without you. And I so wanted a child, so very, very much."
"Shhh my darling. I understand. Believe me, I understand. But that is the past. This is the present. We have our wish. Even if it will be for a short period of time." He held her close in his arms, his beautiful silver wife, and his new born daughter in her arms. "What will you name her? Serenity IV?" He couldn't help but chuckle at that? "Or maybe Hyperia? I think your name sounds better then mines though."
She giggled in his arms, kissing her daughter on her forehead, and gazed at her new daughter. The child looked back with eyes of deep gold with swirls of blues and green. A creamy tanned baby with soft curls of brown reds and streaks of gold in her hair squealed for her mother's milk. "Aria. Aria Serenity will be her name."
"Aria. She will have a beautiful voice then. She will have many admirers after her . . . I don't think I'll like that." He muttered under his breath, and his wife laughed.
There was a knock on the door, and 4 young boys in their tweens entered.
"Come in." The man answered. Moving to the side so his wife can see who had come in. "I've rescued them from limbo, given them a new chance, they are to be Aria's protectors till They come."
Serenity's eyes widen. "They are."
"Now there dear. You know now that the ones from the past were mere clones. The originals died that day. They were unable to be reborn because of that witch's curse. They were good men, they will protect our Aria when we are gone."
The four boys kneeled before the two couple. The eldest with the silver hair lifted his head and looked at them. Eyes filled with determination. "We were weak to her magic, and for that we have caused you and your family great pain. But please, give us one more chance. We will grow stronger. We will protect our new master with our lives." With his proclamation the other three behind him nodded and lifted their heads to look at the couple with determination burning in their young eyes.
"So young. So pure of heart." She nodded her head. "Come. Meet your new master, your princess." They gathered around her, making funny faces to the cooing baby.

12 years later. Elysion (I've decided Elysion is Endymion's home from the past, and Elysian Fields is the place where the god Hades resides. *the thereafter place*)
"Apollyion? Apollyion? Are you still here old friend?" A young girl enters Elysion from a gold white mist.
Bewildered at the intrusion the Priest of Elysion confronts the girl. "Who are you? This is no place for mortals like you to dwell!"
"Ah, you're a priest?" She frowned as she looked at the young man. "You are not Apollyion. Where is he? I cannot sense his presence here."
Helios frowned looking at her. How did she knew about his mentor, his father? "Who are you?"
Behind him the Maenads came running, apparently happy to see the guest. "My Lady! You are back! You are back!"
Now Helios was even more confused. The Maenads that had barely ever talked to anyone but him, were talking to a complete stranger. "Just what is going on here? Who is she Maenads?"
The Maenads who were currently hugging and kissing the Lady had stopped and looked at the priest, looking rather upset. "You cannot tell Master? It is bright as day who the Lady is."
He looked. Suddenly shocked. The hairstyle was familiar. Princess Serenity and his little lady both had the same hairstyle. But she was different. Something about her set her apart with the princess and his lady. Frowning he closed his eyes, concentrated. And he saw it. No, he felt it. Felt who she is. In her tiny body, the entirety of the cosmos blazed with life. Color drained from his face. How could he not know? He fell to his knees apologizing. "F-Forgive me goddess. For my rudeness against you."
The young woman, no child giggled. "It's quite alright. Elysion isn't a place ordinary humans can come to after all. It must have been a shock seeing a stranger here. But, young priest. Where is Apollyion? I need Nike back."
He bowed his head low. "Father, I mean Priest Apollyion has passed many years ago goddess. I am the new Priest of Elysion now."
Saddness crept in her eyes. A shimmering gold with hues of swirling blues and greens. "I am sorry to hear that. He was, a very dear man to me. So. . .that many years has passed since my last reincarnation then."
A moment of silence grew between them as they remembered the former priest.
She shook her head. "Well then, young priest. I am sure you know why I am here for?"
He nods his head, then frowned. "Nike, she has changed her form goddess. She has taken the form of a crystal, and is currently with the former prince of the earth protecting the Earth."
"Ah, the royal family has taken guardianship of Nike then?" She tilted her head in question.
"Yes goddess. They have protected the Earth from inside Elysion in the past. Nike wanted to help them, therefore changed her form to hide her identity."
She closed her eyes, "I see. Then we must retrieve her. I cannot fight Him without her."
Helios nodded, "Yes goddess, I will show you to them. It will be hard. They had come to believe they own the golden crystal. Knowing them, they might think you're an enemy. Let me go first."
"Where are they young priest?"
"Japan my goddess, in a place called Azuba."
"Ah, Japan. I have always wanted to go there."
"If I may, my goddess. May I ask a question?"
The girl tilted her head towards him, "Of course. What is it young priest?"
"Why is a goddess in a human body?"
She smiled at him, "Because, I plan on finishing this age old war here and now."
Helios was confused, from all his learnings from his father, the former priest. The war between the goddess and her uncle has been going on since Earth came into existence. Gods cannot die, therefore the war is everlasting. It was just how it was. That was reality. "Pardon?"
She only gave him a short lived smile before sadness covered her face. "So many has died for the sake of love and peace. My soldiers, my saints, they give up their lives for the future without a backward glance. This time, I will fight alongside them. I will end this war once and for all." She let out a deep sigh, and muttered softly, "And we grow weary."
She reached out her hand to him, "Will you come with me young priest? Watch the new dawn with me?"
He reached out without thinking, "But I am not allowed to leave this place."
"I give you permission. Your duty is to watch, and remember, and retell our story in the future."
"As you wish goddess. I will be with you till the end." And he grabbed her hand.
"Thank you."

What was I thinking starting this? Oh well, I'm working on the second chapter as you read. I wonder if I should keep this in Sailor Moon or put it in Cross-overs? So many changes has happened since the last time I wrote in Fanfiction.
As you can guess. Queen Serenity was given life for a moment to bear a child who will one day be a goddess. (You need a god, to make another god for all I know.) If you ever watched Saint Seiya you know why. I bet you're asking, is that Usagi's dad too? No. Nope. Serenity (Usagi) was born through the power of the crystal and Queen Serenity, that's what I think.
Anyways. Let me know what you think? Should I continue? No point finishing chapter two if no one's going to read it, ne? (Thinking of working on Silver Moon, Golden Sun again. Well I'm going to Try)
