A/N: This is a sequel to "destiny's Bonds" but can be read alone.
Heavy military style boots clacked against the shimmering crystal streets as a dark haired figure ran through the crowds, a look of determination shimmering in her gaze as she drew toward the castle.
"Jadeite! Open the damned door!" she called, only to earn a chuckle.
"Geez….You haven't learned anything at all in the last five years." He laughed, earning a glare from the younger woman.
"Oh shut the hell up and open the gate." She grumbled, earning a laugh.
"Okay….No need to get your panties in a bunch." He joked as he opened the gate.
"Thank you!" She exclaimed, rushing off.
As Eclipse rushed down the hall she suddenly slid and crashed into a door that had just opened.
"Tsuki-Chan? What the heck?" Princess Mars began, though she only chuckled and shook her head.
"Menyani can't walk right on crystal either. Though you were never this clumsy before you left." The fire senshi stated, earning a blush and a chuckle.
"Yeah well Kinmoku doesn't have friggin' glass buildings and streets!" Tsuki muttered, earning a laugh.
"Well I guess you've heard the news….Come on, let's go down to Ami's labs." Mars stated, helping the other woman up.
Rei couldn't help but smile fondly as they made their way down the hall.
How was this the same girl they had grew up with? The same aloof, introverted girl who had cut her hair to get away from the past.
No, this Tsuki looked different; she was dressed in a black and red soldier's uniform similar to that of King Edymon's four generals, had a pixie style haircut that was so choppy that it looked like she had just cut it with her own sword and her once pale complexion was now sun kissed.
But what stood out more than anything about the shadow senshi was the fact that she no longer wore the wristbands or gloves that she had once never went without. No, even the faint traces of scarring on her wrists were visible, though she didn't seem to mind.
"It's been ages….I mean Queen Serenity's child was born late last night….Saturn has finally balanced her ageing out though she won't be much older than Princess Usagi and father is in Elysion." Eclipse stated, earning a smile.
"Everyone's changed but then again they haven't either," Rei began with a chuckle, playfully nudging the other woman before adding "remember when you were such a tomboy? Sometimes we wondered if you were transgender."
Tsuki scoffed at that, rolling her eyes.
"I still hate dresses Mars." She reminded her friend with a smirk before adding "speaking of Transgender, Fisheye and Danny seem to be getting along….at least after that whole mess with the darkness."
Princess mars nodded at that and opened the door to Mercury's labs.
"Eclipse! You actually made it!"
The dark haired girl just grinned as she glanced down at the now cracking stones that lay on table flashed once again.
"Yeah though I had to almost kill Jadeite to get in." she retorted, laughing slightly.
"Try not to spill too much blood. I'd hate to have my sister thrown in prison." Another voice stated, startling her.
"Sailor Uranus! I tried to find you the other day but Neptune said you had to check on something." Eclipse stated, hugging her sister who just laughed.
"You've changed over the last year…you're even growing out your hair." The sky soldier stated, surprised by the fact that the young woman now was almost as tall as her and despite the random scars that littered her body seemed more at ease than she ever had as a teenager.
"Yeah, I think. It's because I lived on Kinmoku...I spent the last few years before the freeze helping rebuild and the past year I helped during a tsunami." Eclipse answered, revealing just how busy she had been.
"that's why you preferred staying with the starlight's on earth after…" The wind senshi stopped then, glancing worriedly down at her younger sister who suddenly stiffened.
"The battle with Jaaku-Henkō." The youngest in the room muttered, before glancing down at the stones once more before sighing
"At least now everything will be sort of back to normal."
