Paige watched from nearby, she kept her guard up just in case. As Psi and Desiree talked, Paige felt something change. She felt vibrations as white light glowed out form the pair; when it died down Shadow Sailor was back in her own head. The throne room was still in a state of destruction, but Desiree was smiling and looking at Jaguar and Shadow Sailor.
Desiree reached down and held out her hands to her friends. "Thank you, because of your strength and team work you helped me realize what I must do. I had been treating Psi as an outsider, but in reality she was always a part of me."
Jaguar and Shadow Sailor took her offered hands and were glad for the assistance; they both regained their footing.
"Well I am glad that is over, I don't think I could have taken much more." Shadow Sailor said. "I am happy for you both, well now it is just you."
Desiree nodded. "It was always just me. Sorry for all the trouble I've caused; I wish I would have realized this sooner."
"Well on the bright side this will be one ball no body will ever forget." Paige said.
Autumn sighed. "Not a good memory for most I should say."
Desiree nodded. "I'll make things right."
She held out her right hand and her Moon Star Scepter appeared in her grip. The scepter was silver with a gold star with a blue crystal embedded in it. The star was held in a white crescent moon with blue gems on it. There was another blue gem held in a heart shaped mold under the moon.
She raised it high over her head. "Royal Moon Star Healing Amplification!"
The gems began to glow as white stardust and light burst from Desiree and the scepter. The light and dust gathered into a wave and erupted over the destroyed palace. The prayer crystal in the center of the palace started to glow and the healing power washed over the Moon as well as the Earth. When the light died down, it was like someone had turned the hands of time backwards. The palace was renewed and guests at the ball where back and unharmed. Mummers of confusion rippled from person to person.
Queen Desiree lowered her scepter. "Friends I ask for your forgiveness." She said as she kneeled down and lowered her head. "My lack of insight has caused you all harm tonight, as well as on other occasions. I beg for your forgiveness and as punishment I will give up my place as Moon Queen."
Twitters of shock and disbelief rippled though everyone, people protested no body wanted Desiree to give up her throne. There was no discussion, no debate, and no arguing Desiree was the Moon Queen, and she would always have everyone's forgiveness.
Princess Serenitalia reached down and pulled Desi to her feet. "There's nothing to forgive; we like you, and what you are doing."
The purple haired girl led her older sister to the throne and transformed into Sailor Moon Music. She stood to her sisters right confident in the type of person Desiree is as both a ruler and warrior.
Sailor Jaguar and Shadow Sailor watched as other Cosmic Senshi henshined and went to line the positions to the left and right of the throne. Silver Star, Sailor Mau, Sailor Hemp, Star Spangled Senshi, Sailor Persephone, Sailor Illusion, Sailor Angel, and Sailor Eclipse and took their places as the guardians of the Moon Queen as well as the Sol System.
A hand fell on Shadow Sailor's shoulder. "One of many happy endings, ne?"
"Onyx?" She gasped and flung herself into his arms.
He chuckled. "Guess you are happy to see me?"
"Baka, of course." She said embracing him tightly.
Out of her peripheral vision she spied Jaguar walking out the immense French doors; she was never one for big crowds. She was worried about her friend; she left Onyx to follow the other girl.
Great joy, love, and forgiveness on the Moon masked the rising darkness. Shadow Sailor and Sailor Jaguar only had time to feel the danger right before they were swallowed up by it. In a blink, the pair was removed from the Moon, and no one seemed to realize they were gone.
