The Moons of Saturn

Chapter 1

Unknown location

Angharad weaved through the dark hallways. She passed Rubeus brooding in the throne room, seemingly being unnoticed, and released a breath she didn't realize she was holding when she had gotten a safe distance away.

She could feel eyes on her. Who they belonged to she didn't know, but it didn't strike fear into her like she thought it would. Instead she felt she was being embraced by much smaller arms. "I love you big sister, please come home." The voice of a child?

She shook her head. She didn't have a young sister and she shook away the image that was trying to haunt her mind and punched a cave wall, then hissed in pain. She was going to have to try and fix a broken wrist now. "Just brilliant" she muttered.

Back with Zita, Hotaru and Shingo

"Hara onee-chan, Hara onee-chan!" the little one cried out.

"Zita-chan, come back to mommy and daddy princess, come on," Hotaru pressed, sounding calm but internally panicking.

Zita awoke gasping for air. And soon the tears began.

Doctor Mizuno moved quickly to safely take the wires off the small child and then Usagi came running in, pale as a ghost.

Shingo jumped up and got ahold of his sister before she klutzed out and damaged the expensive equipment.

"Usagi what on earth is wrong with you?" Shingo asked.

Usagi looked around frantically not registering Shingo's words and soon her eyes focused on the small child in front of her.

Usagi slowly made her way to the bed and the wide eyed little girl who put her arms up to the woman. Usagi was stroking her forehead and the youngster began glowing. "Moonlit lullaby," she whispered, and within seconds the child was sleeping. Usagi smiled at the soft snuffling snores that came from the child.

"Hotaru, Shingo, I think you need to sit down," Doctor Mizuno spoke, noticing the tension and worry lines in Usagi's features.

Hotaru sat obediently but Shingo remained stubborn and stood. "It's your funeral," Doctor Mizuno muttered playfully, trying to set the mood lighter.

"The young woman we saw in the field tonight. She's not actually one of them. I believe she was taken from the future at a malleable age possibly no older than Zita is now, and was twisted to Chaos' will," Usagi finally spoke.

Shingo sat down with a heavy thud. "Two kids," he murmured.

Then Chibiusa came in not long after her mother. There were tears streaming down her face. "I should have been responsible, but I'm just a stupid kid." She wept loudly.

"What are you talking about?" Hotaru pressed. She couldn't be mad at the girl, she was two years younger than her and this may have happened when she could have been still a child herself.

Chibiusa took a deep breath. "I was put in charge of Angharad. We went out into Crystal Tokyo and out the blue, Rubeus appeared from nowhere. But he didn't have the Black Moon crest on his forehead. I didn't have my transformation brooch or anything... And..." she started sobbing harder.

"He took Angharad." Usagi finished for her.

"She was only five, but the evil being pushed into her would have aged her to a young adult. Like it did me when death phantom got a hold of me."

"You weren't a stupid kid Chibs. Crystal Tokyo was compromised." Now Setsuna walked in, trying to comfort them.

"I should have still tried to defend her, but I was so paralyzed in fear. It didn't register he was going after her until he got ahold of her and was crying in his arms and struggling to get free. Then they disappeared. I'm so sorry Auntie 'Taru and Uncle Shingo."

Hotaru wrapped the younger girl in her arms. "It's not your fault and we're not going to blame you are we?" she gave a pointed look to Shingo

Shingo's eyes widened to saucers. "No, no we're not Chibiusa." Then he got a grin on his face

"It means I can take the bastard's head off myself," he finished.

"What do you mean Shingo?" Hotaru asked

He nodded at his sister and niece, "I was there the night Rubeus took the senshi and then kidnapped these two and tried using them against each other. I was so angry and wanted to help but no matter how much I prayed I was still helpless. I guess I was too young to transform or something," he shrugged.

Setsuna nodded. "The seal wouldn't have broken until you reached puberty," she explained .

"We need to go to Elysion. There are four of us that need to collect our birthrights. I was trying to put this off until Crystal Tokyo came close, but if Rubeus is back he is going to be incredibly dangerous with Chaos only influencing him and the Yakuza." Usagi spoke with an air of authority.

Setsuna's eyes softened, though Usagi was becoming her mother at least she would love a great deal. She would rule with a gentle hand, and with them guiding her there would be no stopping them, well not easily anyway.

"I suggest we get a good night's sleep first. We're all exhausted from tonight's battle," Hotaru said

They all nodded in agreement and said their respective good nights and went to their rooms.

The next morning

Morning soon came around and Hotaru awoke to the smell of pancakes. She gently woke her love and their child and they went downstairs together.

"Mommy, can I have four pacakes?" Zita asked, her large purple eyes blinking fervently.

Hotaru laughed loud and clear, "we will see how two pancakes do you first sweetheart."

Zita pouted. "Daddy?"

Shingo grinned at the little one. "Listen to your mother Sweetheart, I'm not defying her she can be scary."

"M'kay," she said as she ran up to the table. Shingo moved closer to Hotaru and pulled her into him and kissed her lovingly on her forehead. The ghosts of the night before disappeared. she may have laughed at her child but Shingo could see the haunted woman hidden within her.

Breakfast was served and everyone was discussing multiple things. Hotaru tried to make herself concentrate on her child but there was so much going on. She struggled to focus on what the child was chatting about.

Ikuko brushed a hand across the young woman's hair. Hotaru looked up and gave Ikuko a clueless grin. "You will get used to it sweetheart. I've been dealing with them and the growing team for the best part of six years and still get confused sometimes."

"And I complete the team right?" she asked.

"We wished every battle you would find us, but being in Shibuya you may not have felt us," Michiru said.

"Shingo?" She looked at her lover who nodded and swallowed the bit of pancake he was chewing.

"She kept all the newspaper clippings. So she might have felt some sort of connection," Shingo confirmed

Murmurs of appreciation were heard across the table. "They really proud of you momma," Zita spoke. She was much brighter this morning and seemed so much healthier than the previous day.

Usagi swallowed and watched the exchange between the family and then stood and lightly clinked a glass. Everyone turned to her expectantly.

"After speaking with my mother from the moon through meditation last night, after the battle, she said that if we're going to Elysion we would get rested up. She also explained that myself, Mamo-Chan, Haruki and Shingo need to collect our birth rights."

Mamoru smiled. "It will be rather nice to see Maboroshi and Yume again I wonder if they've started their family yet."

Usagi smiled back at him.

They all walked to the back garden and entered a gazebo which was gold and silver, and decorated with a moon and earth tied together on the ground and all the symbols of the warriors surrounding them.

They all transformed. "To Elysion," Mamoru and the Shitennou said

"Sailor teleport," the girls called.

Soon they were under the blue skies of Elysion. A gentleman was waiting for them and enveloped Mamoru in a fatherly hug. "It's good to see you highness." Yume smiled as he caught sight of the dark haired sailor and the little girl clinging to her.

"You've finally found her?" A woman asked as she came out of the shrine holding two little girls hands. "This is Wala and Áine our twin girls. We will have one more but not yet," Maboroshi said looking pointedly at Usagi and Mamoru. Who blushed deeply.

Zita approached the twins. "Can I play with them momma?" she asked looking back.

Saturn smiled. "Of course you can." The three girls ran to play in the field of flowers.

Maboroshi took Saturn's hand. "Welcome to Elysion dear, now the ceremony can commence."
