Chapter Four

Usagi rushed quickly into her room as she kicked off her faded flip flops in the process, after the meal that she shared with her family and Eiji. She fell onto her gorgeously soft bed and placed her head onto her lovely fluffy pillows. Her eyes closed instantly and she relaxed suddenly too. She started to shift slowly into sleep, but suddenly she was woken when something jumped quickly onto her and surprised her immensely. She screamed when she was surprised and jolted straight up to look around. Her sparkling blue eyes met Luna's chocolate brown ones and Serena heaved a sigh of relief, when she saw that it was Luna who had surprised her. However, her relief suddenly rushed away and was replaced by slight anger.

"Luna," she bellowed a little frustrated as Luna made herself comfortable Serena's soft bed.

Luna, was Usagi's raven black cat that held a bright yellow crescent moon upon her forehead like Usagi did when she was in the guise of Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom. Luna had been an advisor to her mother, Queen Serenity of the Moon, along with Artemis, who was Luna's male counterpart and lover. However, Luna had been given the task of finding the girls after the destruction of the Moon Kingdom and returning them to being Sailor Senshi with knowledge of their previous lives. Luna had succeeded and along the way she had been reunited with Artemis too. However, Luna at the moment was still lying on Usagi's comfortable bed and then turned to look at the annoyed girl who was eyeing her evilly.

"Luna," Usagi yelled at her cat as Luna stretched out lazily.

"Usagi-chan," Luna started as she slightly giggled at Usagi's annoyance, "I need to ask you something?"

"What is it, Luna?" Usagi said still a little annoyed at Luna.

"Who was that man that visited you today?"

"What Eiji-chan?"

"Yes."

"Eiji-chan is my mother's cousin. Why do you want to know, Luna?"

"I felt something strange but familiar about him and I wanted your take on the situation."

"Strange but familiar?"

"Yes, my senses are never usually wrong and the feelings that I'm getting could be something important. Do you feel anything, when you were around him?"

Usagi placed her hands together then and looked thoughtful for a second. She debated whether or not she should tell Luna about the vision that she had of Eiji and the vibes that she got from him too. She decided that no harm could come of it and she began to tell Luna about her vision.

"Well, I did get some strange feelings about him too."

"Really?"

"Really, but they were more good than bad and there was something so familiar about him."

"That's the exact feelings that I sensed from him."

"But," Usagi began as Luna listened intently, "I also had a vision."

"A vision?" Luna asked looking slightly confused.

"Yes and the strangest thing was, the vision was the battle, which destroyed the Moon Kingdom and he was there. He was dressed in the uniform of the Moon Kingdom and was battling against the Dark Kingdom's forces. He even had the crescent moon on his forehead, Luna. I think he's one of our people that got reincarnated along with all of us."

"It is a possibility, Usagi, as your mother did not just reincarnate you and the other Senshi but nearly every one of her people."

"So, do you think he could be from the Moon Kingdom? Do you remember him, Luna?"

Luna closed her eyes and began to search her past memories but nothing was coming up and she shook her head as she opened them.

"Nothing is coming to mind. What about you?"

"Me?" Usagi said looking very surprised.

"Yes, you're more than capable now, Usagi-chan; eventually you will become Serenity again."

Usagi suddenly looked up with a surprised look upon her face and Luna gazed into those sparkling blue eyes of her princess.

"Usagi-chan, what's wrong?

There was a long pause and then Usagi spoke.

"Luna, I know that it's my duty to be Serenity again one day but can we not mention that now. I'm happy at the moment to just be Tuskino Usagi and when necessary, Sailor Moon."

"Usagi…."

"Please, Luna."

Luna nodded and then an uncomfortable silence fell in the room.

"So, Usagi-chan, what do you think about Eiji? Do you recall him yourself?"

Usagi closed her eyes and began to search her past memories as the Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom. However, the only things that Usagi was picking up was little snapshots of images and small runs of actions that she had been involved in but there was nothing within her memories of Eiji.

"I'm getting nothing again, Luna."

Luna looked a little dismayed but then renewed hope entered her feline brown eyes.

"What if you used the crystal?"

"What if I used the crystal?" Usagi asked looking confused.

Luna rolled her eyes in irritation and then started to explain to Usagi her idea.

"If you used the crystal, Usagi-chan, then maybe you'll be able to revive some memories that are hidden from you at present."

"Ah, I see," Usagi answered as the Luna's idea suddenly clicked into her mind, "the crystal is more powerful than me alone."

"Yes," Luna agreed.

Usagi quickly rushed over to her school bag and eventually fished out the very powerful Silver Crystal.

"Usagi-chan, don't tell me you still take the crystal to school."

"You never know when one might need its power, Luna," Usagi replied playfully.

Luna rolled her eyes again and Usagi sat down on the bed next to Luna. She held the small cold crystal in her small slender hands and Luna glanced it over quickly.

"It's still beautiful, isn't it Usagi," Luna commented as the silver-coloured crystal glowed mystically.

"Yes, very," Usagi agreed as she looked at the small crystal in her hands.

This jewel that she was embracing tightly had caused herself, her family and friends a lot of emotional heartache. It had hurt them immensely and sometimes Usagi hated to be the bearer of the crystal. However, it gave her the power to protect her friends and loved-ones and more importantly, the Earth. She had protected the Earth on numerous occasions with the value of her life at risk but Usagi never thought of herself and when the Earth was in danger, she always acted with little thought and value to herself and her life. However, the crystal suddenly glimmered a little as Usagi held it and both Luna and Usagi were surprised at the sudden glow that it was emitting.

"Luna, why is it…," Usagi began but then got suddenly interrupted.

"It's reacting," said a voice that did not belong to either Usagi or Luna.

"Reacting?" Usagi repeated as both she and Luna looked around to see who owned the voice that had just interrupted them.

"Eiji-chan," Usagi said as she looked at her mother's cousin and he returned her gaze.

He was standing in her doorway, leaning against the doorframe as he looked at both Usagi and her cat. His hair was still wispy and loose and his eyes were shining with emotion. Usagi was quite taken aback by his facial expression and then he sudden approached Usagi and Luna. He stood before Usagi and she looked up at him. He was tall, very tall but then suddenly, he knelt down before Usagi. He took one of her hands in his and then lowered his head so that Usagi could just see his hair. Luna and Usagi were both surprised by his actions and Usagi suddenly became a little frightened. Eiji gently kissed the back of her hand, the one that he held in his own and then he looked up into her eyes. They were familiar to him, very familiar and he was so happy that he had finally found the princess that he was destined to educate.

"My princess, the moon child, Serenity, I can't believe that I'm finally seeing the real you, dearest Serenity."

Usagi was deeply confused now and then the crystal rose from out of her hand. It rose high above Usagi, Luna and Eiji and then glowed even brighter than it did just a few seconds before. Three beams of light emitted from the powerful jewel then and the three beams each hit Usagi, Luna and Eiji, in tern. The beams hit the forehead of each person and as they did, the crescent moons that appeared on Lunarians' foreheads, appeared and glowed fully and brightly. Then everything went black for the three Lunarians and the blackness was then replaced by a fading white light. The light faded eventually and Usagi looked around, once the brightness had dimmed. She looked at her surroundings first and realised that her surroundings were that of the Moon Crystal Palace. The bright pure white marble was so familiar and so was the majestic sky that Usagi had adored so much, when she was the Moon Princess. She looked at herself next and she was dressed as the Princess Serenity. She had the white glittery gown, her hair was placed into its usual style and the crescent moon that Usagi owned was visible now too. She looked around again then to see if she was with anyone else and saw that she was accompanied by Luna and Eiji. Luna was still in her cat form but the crescent moon on her forehead glowed brightly and Luna moved herself suddenly so that she was right next to Usagi. However, Usagi looked at Eiji then and he was dressed in the garments that she had seen him wearing in her vision earlier. His shoulder-length brown hair was pulled back into a ponytail and he too had the crescent moon on his forehead, which made him identifiable as a Lunarian.

"Serenity," Eiji began as he looked at the princess of his kingdom, "I cannot express how happy I am to finally see you and in your original form too."

"Wait, Eiji, if that is your name," Usagi said as she stepped a little away from Eiji due to her confusion, "who are you? What is your real identity?"

"Princess," Eiji began as he bowed to the royalty before him, "I am Captain Apollo Matheny, and was second in charge of the Lunar Armies. I was a very dear friend of your mother and on her death, she instructed the silver crystal to make me apart of her daughter's new family on Earth, as to keep an eye on her and I was made your mother's cousin. I know it's not the closest of relations but I was very close to your mother as a child and we have kept in regular contact over the years. The moment you were born, Serenity, I knew instantly, there and then, that you were the divine and ethereal Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom."

"So, you are a member of our kingdom?" Usagi asked reservedly.

"Yes, and I have now completed the first step of the instruction that your mother left for me."

"The first instruction? There are more?"

"Yes, but there is only one more. The first was to ensure that you survived until you had reached your full potential and that has been achieved."

"So, what is the second?" Luna asked as she seemed very interested in the matter.

Eiji looked at the dark cat and smiled but then quickly resumed his story.

"The second was once Serenity reached her full potential, I was to educate her into requiring the power that she can fully use and that power will allow her to become her future self as the Neo-Queen Serenity."

"What exactly are you saying?"

"What I'm saying princess, is that you can use the crystal but allow me to train you for a few weeks and you will be able to reach its full power."

"I'm not so sure," Usagi said as she eyed Eiji suspiciously.

"And why not Serenity?" said a voice that was not of the three beings present.

"Queen Serenity," Usagi gasped as she watched her mother's regal form float gracefully from the sky and rest elegantly in between Usagi and Eiji.

Usagi looked over the glowing woman who stood elegantly beside her and Usagi admitted that Queen Serenity looked as regal and breathtaking as she always did. Her long silvery hair was placed into the customary lunar style and she wore a pure white gown made of the purest of silk and satin. Her silvery blue eyes glanced over her daughter, who she was more proud of than ever before and then they turned to Eiji.

"Captain Matheny," Queen Serenity instructed as she held her hand to Eiji and he took it.

"My queen," he replied as he kissed the hand softly and then bowed again.

Eiji rose then and glanced quickly at the golden-haired princess but then returned his gaze to the queen.

"Apollo, it has been long, has it not?"

"Very long, yes, my queen," he agreed with a slight smile.

"But Apollo, I must first thank you on the watchful eye that you have kept upon my daughter for the last few years."

"It was an honour, my queen."

Usagi watched in slight confusion but she was amused too at the sight that displayed itself before her.

"And I am thanking in advance also for the instruction that you will give to my daughter."

"Instruction?"

"Yes Serenity, didn't you just take in what Captain Matheny just said."

"Kind of, I was very confused."

The queen chuckled at the display her daughter was presenting and approached her.

"My dear, dear Serenity," the queen said as she gazed adoringly at her beautiful daughter, "I am very proud of you and how powerful you have become, with the help of the crystal. However, I am afraid that I do not bare good tidings."

"What is it mother? Does a new evil approach?"

"Yes, my daughter, and it's more powerful than any other foe you have faced before."

"Even more than Galaxia?"

"Even more so."

Usagi gasped suddenly but then she recomposed herself quickly.

"What must I do?"

"That is why I have come, my daughter. The crystal is growing more powerful with each day that it is held within your possession but you have not yet fully used its magnificent power and that is why Captain Matheny stands before you now. He, on the Moon Kingdom, was one of the only people who knew how to harness and used the full potential of the crystal.

He instructed me sometimes and now he will instruct you."

"Instruct me?"

The lunar queen nodded but then continued with her instructions.

"You will go with him to the island of Kyushu and enter the shrine in which Eiji has enrolled and there you shall stay for eight weeks. During your stay, Eiji will instruct you upon the full power of the crystal, proper self-defence and all the requirements that you will need to be the enchanting Neo-Queen Serenity of the future world."

"But mother, I have school and a life here that I need to consider and think about such as what about my earth parents, what will they say?"

"There is no need to worry, dear princess, everything has been arranged. You will leave in three weeks, when your education for the year will be complete and train hard with Eiji for eight. Your earth parents and family think that you are just going to visit him for a while but the girls and your prince, Endymion, will not be so easily deceived. Just tell them that you have to do something very important and that it will benefit the entire planet. Artemis and Luna have been instructed to tell the girls to not question and please Serenity; this instruction will benefit everyone but you mostly. Please, my beautiful daughter, do as I ask and Eiji will not fail you. The earth shall always be safe as long as you are alive and able to defend it."

And with that, Queen Serenity and the vision faded, along with the clothing that Usagi and Eiji wore, until just remaining was Usagi, Luna and Eiji, all in Usagi's room, with their minds whirling from the vision and the instructions that had just been given to them.
