Chapter Twelve Pt 2

'They are all still star seeds newly borne of the cauldron, but by the time they reach their respective homes, they'll have matured back into their original forms. We only continue to live on because this place exists, and can redo things over and over again' Sailor Cosmos, Sailor Stars Act 60, Stars 11, Book 12, Manga

899 years ago – Azabu-Juban district

One month after the birth of Small Lady, affectionately called Chibiusa, the weather patterns started to turn extreme. They were seven months away from when Usagi would turn twenty-three and they were all aware that Usagi would become Queen at the age twenty-two. Setsuna had finally decided it was time for the Outer- Senshi to leave. They were to go back to their planets and watch over the earth protecting it from any outside forces that might interfere during earths 'fragile' period. The day they left Uranus gave Usagi a big hug telling her that she would be watching her dear Odango. Neptune and Pluto gave a small kiss on Chibiusa's forehead and then Pluto turned towards her future Queen.

"Things will look desperate but you must never give up Princess, no matter what happens keep hope and believe in our future, our future is for us to make" Usagi smiled warmly at Pluto as she spoke these words. Then the Outer Senshi left leaving Usagi with an empty feeling. Now the Inner Senshi were preparing themselves for the worst but they weren't sure if it was an actual villain they were going to face. The freeze had taken over the whole world and people were finding themselves at home more. Although Ami and Mamoru tried to get to the hospital they soon were told they had to stay home until this storm passes. But there were still people who needed help out there so Mamoru took time out to go out to meet people at their homes and tend to their illnesses. Ami was constantly monitoring the storms that were raging through the earth and finding that everywhere was either covered in snow or icicles.

It got to the point where going outside became so dangerous that the girls had to stay on full time as Inner Senshi trying to get people into their homes. Usagi felt helpless as she cared for her daughter trying to keep her warm. This in itself wasn't hard as the Silver Crystal was acting as a shield but Usagi still felt for the people and was desperate to help them. Usagi held onto her broach and again wondered whether that dream she had was true, was it? Could she no longer transform into Sailor Moon?

Disturbing news was reported by the last willing reporter in Japan. She was a young lady who went by the name Yuriko. Her short bob hairstyle accentuated her long angular face and her big green eyes. She wasn't meant to be a reporter, she was actually a cameraman but she felt strongly that people needed to know what was happening.

"It has been reported that many people are dropping on the grounds of Japan asleep, so deep in slumber that no-one has been able to wake them up. This now seems to be happening all over the world, people are being found on the streets or in their homes in a deep sleep and there is no explanation for this phenomenon, it is suggested that it could only be because of the abnormal freeze we are getting" Yuriko said in a firm voice. The Inner Senshi were sat in Mamoru and Usagi's living room wrapped up warm with hot chocolate.

"It seems we will have more work to do…." Rei said in a tired voice, Minako yawned but nodded her head. Ami was on her laptop actively typing up reports on her recent data finds. She was certain the weather was putting people to sleep.

"I wish the Outers were here to help us….They must be seeing all this right? Is this how Crystal Tokyo is meant to be formed? We're six months away now" Makoto said through a sleepy voice.

"We still don't know what is going to happen, we have had our timeline disrupted so many times, anything could happen now" Mamoru said as he looked towards an open door where Chibiusa was sleeping. He then checked the baby monitor and then looked back towards the TV. The report was now focussed on the Sailor Senshi.

"Through all the trials humankind is going through the Sailor Senshi have been there helping, no-one has seen Tuxedo Mask or Sailor Moon since the last disaster, the worry is that both Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon have fallen to this tragedy we are now facing, no-one knows what more awaits us but we must stick together, we must stay united" Yuriko said as her eyes focussed on the camera.

Things didn't get any better and what was worse was the Inner Senshi were starting to get more and more tired. Usagi knew it wasn't just the strain of the amount of work they were doing, it was also because of the weather. Fear gripped Usagi as she wondered what to do. Mamoru was also very tired as he kept going out to help people. Then one day when Usagi came home from one of the only shops still open she found Mamoru in bed with Chibiusa's crib right next to him.

"She's asleep Usagi…..I think she has caught what everyone seems to be getting, I think I have it too" Mamoru said through an extremely tired voice as he was lying in bed. He could barely keep his eyes open but he could see how scared Usagi was.

"Don't worry Usako, we'll be ok….I promise…." Mamoru closed his eyes and no matter how hard Usagi tried, he wouldn't wake up. He was in a deep slumber just like her daughter. Sailor Mars had been around the area when she heard Usagi scream. Running into their home she held Usagi in her arms as she realised why Usagi was crying. Mokoto had just found out that Motoki had fallen into the same slumber as well as Naru and Umnio and Usagi's parents.

Everything got worse when Makoto as Sailor Jupiter fell asleep. She was helping a group of people go back into their homes because of the storm. Jupiter had gone back to Rei's shrine and she fell asleep saying she was really tired. Rei had called Minako and Ami over as well as Usagi. The freeze had finally started to get so cold that people were starting to freeze. Rei kept a close eye on her Princess but Usagi wasn't affected by any of it.

"Well at least Usa is safe" Rei said to herself as she yawned. The three Senshi went out one day and Usagi had felt something bad was going to happen. Venus and Mercury fell asleep instantly and didn't wake up but Mars tried her hardest to stay awake.

"I'll stay with you as long as I can Usa…." Mars said as she slumped back onto a wall. Usagi tried to wake Mars but it was too late, Mars was asleep. Luna and Artemis had also fallen into a deep sleep so Usagi was now all alone. Yuriko had stopped reporting and Usagi hadn't seen anyone awake in almost two months. Usagi was going to be twenty-three years old in four months' time.

Usagi stood in the sky tower over looking her home. Everyone she knew and loved was trapped in this state. Taking out her locket she thought about the last time she had transformed into Sailor Moon. Well, now was a good time to try again. She felt the old power surging within her veins and soon she had become Eternal Sailor Moon. Holding her sceptre towards the sky she thought about her friends all at the shrine asleep. She thought about their futures. What would be their futures? What did Crystal Tokyo mean for each one of them? She then remembered Guardian Cosmos. Maybe her wish wasn't going to come true, maybe this was something she had to create herself? She thought about the many people who were now asleep, unaware of what was happening outside. Usagi felt her heart open up as she thought about the many star seeds that still remained. Death had not taken them so they could return to their normal lives, return the way they were.

So Usagi made a wish, she wanted all her friends to come back and all the citizens too. She prayed for the earth to be restored to the way it was, the way she always knew it to be. An image of Crystal Tokyo played on her mind as the Silver Crystal started to glow brightly. She saw Mamoru and Chibiusa smiling at her, believing in her. She thought of the Sailor Senshi and everything they had done for her. She thought about their lives and everything they had given up for her. She wished for their happiness, all their happiness. She wished for a good and peaceful future and she also thought about the Shitennou. Whether they came back or not didn't matter to her anymore, all she wanted was peace.

A bright light surrounded her and soon her form changed and her hair. She was now Neo-Queen Serenity and she could feel the change. The power she had felt as Sailor Moon was gone, the broach was gone. Looking over the land she then used the Silver Crystal and prayed that it would wake everyone up and heal this planet, heal the planet she loved so very much. She then saw Sailor Moon looking back at her, smiling. All she had been through had brought her to this moment, the moment that would change her life forever.

Pluto watched on in worry as she saw a bright light travelling all over the world and across the universe. Everywhere was lit up by a warm light that signalled change. All the star seeds that had once been lost were now finding their way back towards their homes. Usagi saw herself as Serenity now and felt a heavy responsibility on her shoulders as she guided the star seeds to their homes. As the Silver Crystal healed the world Serenity looked on at the place she had called home, the Tsukino residence. She treasured the memory of this place forever engraving it in her mind. She kept within her heart all the good times she had with her friends and all the trials. Now it was time for new beginnings, now was the time for the world to change.

Serenity slowly opened her eyes and saw her daughter looking at her with a worried expression. Serenity knew she was in her bed.

"Mama!" Chibiusa yelled as she went into her mother's arms.

"I was so scared Mama that you wouldn't wake up" Chibiusa said as Serenity held her daughter.

"I would never leave you Small Lady, I love you all too much" Serenity said. King Endymion had heard the voice of his wife. He had been sleeping on a small chair in the same room as his wife waiting for her to wake up.

"Usako…." Endymion said as he sat next to his wife. He then brought her face close to his and kissed her gently.

"I am glad you are well Usa" Endymion said as he held her. Chibiusa smiled at both her parents happy that they were back to normal.

"Usagi-chan!" Mars cried out as she ran into the room with the rest of the Inner Senshi. They were then followed by the Outer Senshi and then the Shitennou. Serenity at first felt overwhelmed by the amount of attention everyone was paying her. Zoisite re-filled a glass of water for Serenity and Jadeite made sure her pillows were puffed.

"How long had I been asleep?" Serenity asked as she giggled. They all looked at each other and then back at Serenity.

"Three months" Pluto finally said. Serenity looked shocked.

"You nearly used up all your energy your majesty healing the whole planet, you also kept our star seeds safe and with you the whole time" Pluto said smiling warmly at her Queen.

"We love you so much Usa, you never gave up hope and you're always there for us" Venus said.

"You gave us the strength to fight for you and to protect this world" Kunzite said.

"And you protected us" Nephrite added.

"We care very much for you your majesty" Jadeite said looking kindly on his Queen.

"You have restored peace again, there are no traces of Chaos now" Zosite said with Mercury nodding next to him confirming his words. So, she had sealed Chaos away once again, at least that would allow them a little peace. Serenity then fell silent which made everyone wonder what was wrong?

"What about Sailor Centaurus, we lost her….." Serenity looked at Pluto and noticed a look that intrigued her.

"You saved her star seed your majesty and it appears she has come back with her brother Hadrian…when you are ready you can come and meet them, they're currently in the palace" Pluto said.

"Her brother?" Serenity asked.

"He's not the same person anymore, by sacrificing his life he released chaos out of his body allowing him to return to the man he once was. I have a feeling his future will be a lot brighter now" Pluto said smiling at her Queen. Serenity didn't know what to say but she knew how she felt right at this moment surrounded by all her friends, she felt happy.
