Gaea broke off from Mars when Usagi and the rest of the group came into sight.
"Where's she going?" asked Venus.
"Damage control," explained Mars. "Apparently a certain Zoalord decided to come out and watch the fight, but ended up too close to the blast in the sky. Gaea said she'll meet us tomorrow afternoon at the Tskino residence."
"I guess I'll have to get some shopping done in the morning," said Ikuko already compiling a mental shopping list.
After dropping her unconscious boyfriend off at the Medical Section, Rhiannon contacted Dr. Barcas.
"Remain in Japan," said the Elder Zoalord. "The rest of the Council shall convene in Arizona. Make sure Purgstall rests and recovers."
"I'll strap him to the bed if necessary, Doctor."
"Now, now. There's no need to get that drastic." The communication ended with that before she could retort.
Seeing that there was nothing else she could do until morning, Rhiannon decided to go and check up on Fred'rich. One of the Zoanoids had telepathically informed her that he had been moved into his quarters, so that was where she headed. All of the current staff in Cloud Gate was currently busy doing damage control, so it came as no surprise to the Lady—as a majority of the world's populace called her—that she did not come across anyone on the floor hers and Fred'rich's quarters were located. After punching in the key code her love had given her a short time ago, she entered his quarters.
The light was on, and Rhiannon saw Fred'rich's room for the first time since she came to Could Gate months ago. The walls were mostly lined with book shelves, a plush chair was situated next to the window for reading in the sun light, and Fred'rich himself sat up awake in his bed minus his uniform.
"Rhiannon!" He said with a smile, but she could tell he knew he was going to get it. "Is Usagi-?"
"She and her family are fine, but you are on bed rest until tomorrow afternoon," she replied firmly. She sat down on his bed. "Do you have any idea how scared I was when I sensed you were hurt?"
"Rhia, I-." He stopped himself upon seeing the tears forming in her eyes.
"Don't ever do something so reckless again!" She was doing her best to hold back the sobs that threatened to come out at any moment, but doing so was difficult especially after what she began to remember from the last days of the Silver Millennium.
"Rhiannon," her love whispered and gently held her close to him. She didn't object to this, in fact it felt comforting to her to be so close to him.
She had used the last of her energy to teleport herself and her husband from the battle in the Ganymede manor to the temple of Saturn. Her back arched and she screamed as contractions continued to assault her body. Fred'rich held his wife doing his best to help her.
"Titania!" Lord Sin, Titania's foster father, hurried over to them.
"She needs help," pleaded Fred'rich. "She has to deliver now!"
"It is too late," Sailor Saturn suddenly appeared with Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus. "I am sorry, big sister."
"Hotaru," Titania said weakly. "So, my children…I won't…"
"It is time to sleep. Someday, in the new era, you will birth them."
"No," the Lady of Ganymede began to weep, knowing that the end had come. Fred'rich held his wife, silently weeping as well. Silent tears trailed down Sin's face, knowing that he would never get to meet his grandchildren.
The Silence Glaive was raised, and Saturn slowly lowered it. And the silver era of peace died…
Rhiannon clung to Fred'rich's chest sobbing. She knew she was to be a mother in the Silver Millennium, but never would she ever have imagined that she would have been in labor when the Glaive fell that day. Her love's embrace tightened; he too remembered that day.
"Stay with me tonight," he whispered. She nodded, continuing to hold onto him as though if she let go she would lose him. They both slowly laid down together, Fred'rich turning the lights off using his telekinesis—a power only shared among the Zoalords and the children of Alkanphel. He gently stroked her hair and kissed the crown of her skull. "In the future, we can try to have a family again."
"Do you want that?"
"Yes; when this mess with Endymion is over, I want to settle down with you again."
A silent moment passed before she said, "I love you, Fred'rich von Purgstall."
"And I love you, Rhiannon Maaka."
