Chapter 21

Loud Goodbyes

The long gleaming halls of the palace of Gantellia echoed with the sounds of secrets, past battles, sweet songs, whispers, and…arguing?

"Yes we are!"

"No you're not!"

"Are!"

"Aren't!"

"ARE!"

"DARK FOR THE LAST TIME YOU GUYS ARE NOT COMING WITH ME!" Heero raised an eyebrow while Yue blinked surprised at how loud Usagi could actually be when angered. Dark huffed and glared. Usagi glared back before walking irritably out of the throne room and back to her bedroom.

Monique shook her head and sighed at the whole situation, "Well, better go finish packing."

Dark gaped at Monique, "You get to go? YOU get to go but not US?"

Monique mimicked Heero and raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about, you're all going to."

"Did you not just hear what she said?!" he yelled hysterically.

"That?" she questioned, "she was just playing with you."

His scream was heard throughout the palace. Sadly Monique shook her head as she went to help Usagi while Dark still ranted. "THAT WOMAN IS SO FRUSTRATING!"

She opened the large white door letting the laughter of Usagi spill into the hallway. "You are so mean to him," said Monique in a reprimanding tone.

"I can't help it, it's so fun getting him aggravated." She burst into another fit of laughter.

Another sigh, "Sometimes I think he's a bad influence on you." Usagi only wiped the tears out of her eyes and shrugged, she needed to laugh, it helped relieve the tension. "Preparations have been made on earth, I was surprised to find out how many Vixens still lived there."

Usagi had tears in her eyes for a different reason now, "Thank you for coming with me." She hugged Monique as tears slipped down her cheeks, "I could have never made it this far without you."

Monique's eyes began to well up, "You shouldn't be thanking me, it was you that pulled yourself up with your own strength and determination. Now stop this sappy moment before we both break down crying." They both laughed and hugged each other once more.

When Usagi was finally ready to leave Monique dressed her in a dress of red, white, and gold. The bodice was red and led into a skirt that split into three sections shaped like petals, one in the back and one on either side. Each were red, lined with gold and an inch of white lace. Underneath was a plane white layer that reached just past the three sections to brush against her black ankle length stiletto boots. The top of the dress was folded down on each side over loose sleeves to leave the shoulders exposed. The folded down fabric was white lined with gold and on each arm was a small red ribbon. Another red ribbon was placed at the intersection of the two folded down pieces of fabric above the breasts. The only jewelry she wore was a black choker with a dangling gold crescent moon.

She walked out into the hall where Dark was waiting for her. "Ready?"

She swept by him, "I thought I told you, you aren't going." He shrugged before picking her up and throwing him over her shoulder. She sighed, "You know you can't solve all our arguments by throwing me over your shoulder, incase someone forgot to tell you, the Stone Age has been over for a long time."

He smirked, "You like it, don't lie, and Monique told me all about your little 'get Dark mad scheme'."

Usagi pouted at Monique who trailed behind them, "Did you have to ruin my fun?"

She smiled, "You couldn't expect me to just let the poor guy suffer, plus I didn't want to have to wait around for him to get ready when you finally told him you were always going to let him go." Usagi thought about it before nodding in agreement.

They reached the throne room in a matter of minutes. The High Vixen was standing in front of her throne politically dressed and waiting for them. "The time has finally come Serenity," Vixen cleared her throat after a moment and Dark finally put Usagi down, "Is there anything you wish to say before you go?"

Usagi looked up at the proud woman standing tall and regal; she was a ruler of perfection, and of dedication. Usagi bowed, "I would like to thank you for not only rescuing me in every way possible, but also for providing me with protection, the ability to protect, and to love," she looked at the three men who stood a few feet away, followed by Monique, then her first two teachers who had managed to make an appearance, "I am forever grateful."

The High Vixen smiled and went to embrace Usagi in a hug, "Gantelia will miss your spirit greatly, be sure to visit every once in a while." She gave a smirk which Usagi mirrored before reaching out her arms, "Serenity, descendent of Selene and heir to the Milky Way, good luck." With a flash of light they were gone and on their way to earth.

Akira quietly spoke, "She will be a great queen one day."

The High Vixen smiled, "I think that day is today."

As they approached earth Usagi pulled their energies to a place she had not been in over a millennia, the moon.

Yue was the first to speak, "I have long since dreamed of visiting the very essence of my creation," he took in the ruins that still held a faint glow of a once celebrated city, "but I did not expect to feel so defeated at the sight of it."

Dark kicked at some of the ruble while Heero continued his ever watchful gaze of Usagi. With her fists clenched she held her emotion in check well, Monique knew this was one thing she could not help the young yet powerful soon to be queen with.

Breathing, was she breathing? Steady, she had to focus, why, why could she not stop the screams? The ruins spoke to her, whispered to the blood that ran through her veins of the tragedy this kingdom once witnessed, the tragedy she had witnessed. And now she was about to inflict the same fate on ones who had once fought for the vengeance of this place to keep its memory glorified yet hidden. Was she to be their executioner?

The ruins began to piece itself together almost in anger, the energy raw and quick. At first it was only Usagi's eyes that gave it away, the empty silver that took over her pupils before spreading over her body. She turned towards those who meant the most to her, the palace standing behind her in an almost ominous presence. "Now we may return to earth, for this is the last warning that I am coming. My kingdom is rebuilt and soon my revenge will be complete." And once more they were swept away in the bright power that could only come from Serenity.

On Earth

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it…" Mamoru paced swearing under his breath as the seven girls looked on. A few rolled their eyes at each other while one even held another back from punching him, things were not the happy paradise they had hoped for.

"We can't just sit around here Mamoru, she's coming and you know it!" yelled Hotaru.

"We all know it, that's why we are here Saturn." Setsuna snapped, since being banned from the time gates she began to develop a temper at anything that spoke, her glare only got on the others already frazzled nerves.

"We've been training, there's no way she can be as powerful as he foresaw it's all just a trick." The red haired priestess blurted.

Minako turned on her, "and I suppose your fire told you that?"

Rei quieted, "You know my fire has told me nothing since that day."

"Oh I wonder why," mocked Lita.

Michura began to message her temples feeling a headache, "if we are to defeat her we need to not be at each others throats. She will arrive soon."

"And when she does…we'll kill her." They all nodded at Haruka feeling slightly more confident in the weakness of their former princess.
