Part 2

After freshen up a bit, Luna the Guardian Cat, in human form, shows Miya the Royal Nursery, where Usagi, as Princess Serenity, was born. Luna, along with her husband Artemis, their daughter Diana, and Luna's sisters Phoebe, Selene, Hectate and Achelois, and the remaining survivors of the doomed planet of "Mau" spend part of their time tending to the upkeep of the Crystal Palace, especially since their services as guardians to the Sailor Senshi and the Silver Millennium were not in as high demand these days. Certainly, they all could have made new lives for themselves on Earth, since Usagi did release their obligation to her and her position, but they were dedicated to the idea that one day, the Moon Princess would take her place as the ruler of a new "Silver Millennium". Only then will the last sons and daughters of Mau will feel comfortable enough to find and develop a new homeworld of their own…

"And this is where the Princess spent her first few years of life, after her mother, Queen Serenity, gave birth to her," Luna said, as she shows the room.

Miya took in the scenery, and closes her eyes. As a Sekirei, she could feel thing that her Ashikabi felt. In her own way, she imagine herself holding her future mate in her arms, admiring the fact that the Universe would deem it right and necessary to create a person that would grow up to be there for her…

"Mrs. Asuma?" Luna asked.

"Please, call me 'Miya'," Miya smiles, as she turned to look at Luna. "So, how long have you've been employed by Takahito's family?"

"Since shortly before the Princess was born," Luna said. "Um, why did you refer to Usagi as 'Takahito'?"

Before Miya could explain what she meant, Usagi pops in her head into the nursery.

"Miya, it's time," Usagi said.

"Usagi, can I speak to you for a bit?" Luna asked.

"Certainly," Usagi said, before turning towards Miya. "Miya, can you excuse us for a moment?"

"Certainly," Miya said with a pleasant smile, as she leaves the Royal Nursery…"

"What's up?" Usagi asked Luna.

"I don't think this is right," Luna said.

"What specifically?"

"This. I don't think your Mother would approve of you marrying a third person, let alone THIS person."

"First, Mother is no longer with us. Second, as the heir to the House of Selene, I can change the rules…"

Pause.

"Besides, I'm of Olympian descent. Since when have my family been concern with decorum?"

"Be as it may, I am concerned about how this will effect Chibiusa."

"I don't think my daughter particularly cares about what I do, since she still thinks I've shucked my responsibilities as a parent for way too long."

"Okay, what if this Miya wants to have children?"

"You do know that I've impregnated Ranma a couple of times, yes?"

"You…you have?" Luna said in surprise.

"Yes. When Ranma and I had nearly been killed by the 'Madgod of Sector 3600', we both regenerated like the Time Lords, thanks to being exposed to the energies of Time Vortex, when we sent Madgod to the end of Time itself. Since it was our first regenerated, we emerged from that purely at random. Ergo, I was reborn as a male, while Ranma was reborn as a female. It was only after we learned what had happened from our friend the Doctor that we learned how to manipulate our regenerations, so that when we died again, saving our children Naruto and Renatat from this creep named Madara, we were able to regenerate back to what we originally looked like, if not what we were."

"I…I see. So, what about now? How will you become the father of Miya's hypothetical child?"

"Even without the benefit of my disguise pen, I AM a shape-shifting goddess with the biological ability to undergo parthenogenesis if need be, who just happens to know the art of inujutsu."

"Um, I know that Ranma wouldn't mind this arrangement, but what about the Prince?" Luna asked. "How does Mamoru feel about all this?"

"He is not too thrilled about any of this, but, well, he feels that it's better to have a part of me than none of me, especially where Chibiusa is concerned."

"Well, you certainly have your bases covered," Luna said. "I just hope that you know what you are doing, Usagi."

"Ha, I rarely do, but at least on this, I'm trying to make things right," Usagi said, as she sighs. "But, as the saying goes: 'Fortune favors the bold…and sometimes the foolish'."

"Well, you certain have your work cut out for you," Luna said, as she produced a sweat drop. "Just be careful, okay?"

"I'll try, Luna."

"That's all I ask."

A short while later, Usagi and Miya were in separate special Martian bio-chambers, even as the Senshi of Mars prepares the chambers to act as memory modules.

"You took me away from what I was doing, just so that you can go down 'memory'?" Rei said, as she gave Usagi an angry glare.

"Hey, tell me about your problems," Usagi replied with a grin. "You said that I can't use your family's Martian-tech without YOU or J'onn being present."

"Humph," Rei replied. The Senshi of Mars was of human and Martian descent, and whose Martian name was "R'ei H'no", which was, coincidentally, similar to the Japanese "Rei Hino". In fact, she was the descendant of Thorja, the Princess of Mars, and an Earth man-turned-Warlord named John Carter, who, for some reason, ended up in the distant past on Mars, back when Mars, as well as the other planets within the Sol Star System, could support life. It was only 1000 years ago that Mars became uninhabitable, thanks to the invasion of the Dark Kingdom of the Negaverse. Only Princess R'ei's uncle, Lord J'Onn J'Onzz, the Martian Manhunter, survived the onslaught, but was glad that his niece had been reborn on Earth. Since that day, Rei was able to reclaim her Martian heritage, which has allowed her access to her uncle's Martian technology…

"Okay, then," Rei said. "Let's get this over with."

"Will this hurt?" Miya asked.

"No, it won't. However, I should warn you that while you and 'Meatball Head' in on the same platform, you will experience real sensations, such as pleasure…or pain, so be careful how you rummage through her mind…"

Pause.

"Not that there's anything worth rummaging through anyway, I think."

"Very funny, Rei," Usagi said. She turned towards Miya.

"Now, when you meet the others, be careful how you deal with them, as they show you my past."

"What do you mean by that?" Miya frowned. "Should I be worried?"

"Well, either I or Rei will be monitoring the situation, so I don't think you have anything to worry about."

"Oh, okay…"

"Now, we begin," Rei said, as she begins to seal the chambers together. "You should not feel anything, as you and 'Princess Whines-a-lot' enter the mindscape…"

Slowly, but surely, Miya closes her eyes…

…And finds herself in what appears to be an expansive marble hall way. Miya appeared to be in a rotunda, with four hallways leading away from the center…

"Hi!" said a cheerful voice.

Miya turns to look a cute Red-Haired girl with tiny odnagos. However, her look was very familiar…

"Takahito?" Miya asked.

"No! It's 'Sailor Chibi-chibi Moon'. I represent the Moon Princess as her essence."

"Of what, if I may ask?"

"Of me," said a mature-sounding Usagi.

Miya turned to face another Usagi. However, this one was dressed in white, her hair was white, had a white cape, and carried a staff that was adorned by an orb. Miya also noticed that this version of her beloved had white eyes that glowed softly with power.

"Takahito…?"

"I am 'Sailor Cosmos'," the Senshi of the Universe said. "If you see me in the real world, after Sailor Chibi Chibi Moon merges with Sailor Moon, then you will know that the Universe is in deep trouble."

"I see," Miya said. "I was under the impression that I would see all of Takahito's incarnations, including his first?"

"If you mean the Moon Princess herself, then I can show you, my love," said a handsome, blond man, who was dressed in a lab coat.

Miya gasped, as she sees her lost love.

"Taka-kun?" Miya said, as she goes to her true love, and embraces "him". "Is that really you?"

"Yes, it's really ME," "Takahito" said, as "he" morphs into Usagi.

"I…I don't understand."

"Miya, 'Takahito Asuma' has never been anything but me a guy, thanks to my shape-shifting abilities. He's not a separate personality, not a regenerated form, not a doppelganger or anything like that. Takahito Asuma has never existed."

"I see…"

Miya turned away.

"I bet you think I am a horrible person."

"Oh?" Usagi said.

"I bet you think that based upon my reaction, you assume that I only care for Takahito."

"Yes, I do," Usagi said, as she held Miya's shoulder. "Miya, turn around."

Miya does as she is told.

"Miya, the whole point of this exercise is so that YOU can get to know the real me," Usagi said. "I'll assume any guise—male, female or other—simply because I feel like it, not because I have to. But I don't want to think that I have to change what I look like just to make you happy. I want you to truly see me as I am, warts and all…"

Pause.

"And the day I can get you to refer to me as 'Usagi', is the day that I've succeeded in convincing you that you could love me…for ME."

"Okay, Taka- I mean, Usagi," Miya said with a nod. "I will try to meet you half way, at least."

"That's all that I ask," Usagi said with a smile, as she resumes her Takahito Asuma guise.

"But, didn't you just say-"

"Hey, I don't have to, remember?" Takahito said with a wink and a nod.

"Ah," Miya said in realization.

"Besides, with so many versions of me in here, it can get confusing," Takahito said. "Come; let me show you the wonders of my mind…"

And, with that, Takahito escorts Miya to where Princess Serenity slumbered…

"Those different versions of you are…interesting, Takahito," Miya said. "I didn't know you were ruler of the realm of the damned."

"Well, I am one of the rulers of Diyu, at any rate," Takahito said. "Still, as Trigona the Unbelievable, I'm considered to be one of the more merciful judges of evil men."

"Then, what about that version of you who was called 'Leviathan'? She was not as nice as Trigona."

"That's because she is more jailer than judge," Takahito said with a sniff.

"And that appearance of Leviathan…does it hurts? I mean, when you change into that?"

"It always hurt, when I change into Leviathan," Takahito replied. "When I do, I am encased in a box that emerges from the ground or floor. When I enter it, my body is altered to what is considered to be a perfect representation of 'order' through a twisted lens."

"So, you become a living doll with mechanical spider legs extending from your back?"

"Pretty much."

"So, how do you…return to normal?"

"I just do," Usagi said with a shrug. "That which is cenobite has been fully integrated into my body like cybernetics, but, cybernetics or otherwise, they disappear into the equivalent of pocket space. Personally, I think they disappear back into the Labyrinth of the Cenobites in 'stasis', and, at will, will emerge, through my body until the transformation has been completed. It takes me about a few days to recover fully, which is why I rarely become a cenobite unless it's a formal or business matter to attend to."

"Why would you?"

"If there are wrong doers whose depravity outstrips the bounds of mortal justice, then I would step in, and have my minions deal with the matter personally," Usagi said. "The last time I had to use the Cenobites on anything was when I learned of a warlord who used children as soldiers…"

Pause.

"So, I made him into a dwarf, but cutting his legs and arms down to the appropriate size and emasculated him via 'flesh sculpting'."

"That's…cruel."

"I gave him a chance, Miya. He didn't take the way out, so he was dealt with."

"…"

"Anyway, we're here," Takahito said, as he showed the clear casket of Usagi's first incarnation: Princess Serenity.

"Is she dead?" Miya asked, as she touched the class.

"No, just sleeping," Takahito said. "She is special, since she is the first…"

Pause.

"So, you're ready to learn about my history?" Takahito asked. "You met my guises; now you can learn my past."

"Will that include learning how you got those guises?" Miya asked.

"Sure."

"Then, I am ready to learn."

"Okay, but full disclosure: you may not like what you find, Miya," Takahito said ominously.

"I've done many things in my long life, some of which are horrendous. You might not like me because of the bad things I have done."

"I'm not afraid of what I might witness, Takahito," Miya said.

"Oh, you will be, Miya…you will be…"
