:::Epilogue:::
(Three Days Later)
"Don't go Odango." Seiya softly stated, trailing soft kisses up her shoulder as he made his way to her soft neck. Hearing her giggle as he began to nip at her neck, he smiled feeling her rest her hand against his bare chest as she looked lovingly into his eyes. "One more day." He pleaded.
"I've already been away three days Seiya." Usagi softly stated. "I need to return before Aeyon sends a fleet looking for me." She said with amusement, then frowned seeing Seiya sadly smile at her words. "I will be back, I swear to you, I will not lose what we finally have." She said gently caressing his cheek. "Seiya." She gently stated, watching him tearfully look into her eyes.
"As soon as you go back to Kailae, they will have their control on you again." Seiya softly stated, as a stray tear streaked his cheek.
"I don't think they will." Usagi said, smiling. "I solely destroyed three Wrazinian warships. I don't think any of the Kailae will be telling me what to do now." She said standing from the bed, allowing the sheet to drop from around her, revealing her nude body. "I am still a Kailae Commander, I have my duties to my Warriors." She said watching him get out of his bed walking to where she stood. Feeling him wrap his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him, she closed her eyes as his lips gently pressed against hers once more.
"I'm going to miss you." Seiya gently stated.
"Then come visit me." Usagi teased, watching him smile at her words. "I really have to leave." She said, giggling as he began to trail kisses down her neck once more. "Seiya." She softly sighed, hearing him chuckle as a soft moan escaped her lips.
"You can't resist me Odango." Seiya teased. "You know you want to stay." He huskily whispered into her ear. Seeing her blush, he smiled gently tilting her chin up before pressing his lips against hers once more. Feeling the kiss began to build with passion, he led her back towards the bed. Gently lowering her back onto his bed once more, they feverishly kissed one another allowing their passion to take over once again.
(Later That Afternoon)
Watching the skies, Aeyon smiled watching a streak of white light enter the atmosphere. "You're late Commander, you said you would be returning this morning." He said chuckling as he watched the Sailor Guardian gracefully land near him. Watching her lean into her staff, he watched her cockily smile at him.
"I didn't realize I had to be somewhere." Usagi said powering down, her tattered, blood covered uniform still on. "I had to take a detour, I was low on energy and-"
"You had to see a certain dark haired Kinmoku guardian?" Aeyon interrupted watching Usagi blush at his words. "Do not worry, I made an excuse for your absence." He said, motioning her to follow. "Let's go get you a fresh uniform, you need to look presentable."
"Presentable? For what?" Usagi asked, watching Aeyon smile at her question.
"The Council wishes to speak with our savior." Aeyon said, watching Usagi look at him in surprise. "Let's go get you cleaned up, they've been awaiting your arrival."
Nervously standing outside the Council Room door, Usagi watched Aeyon open the door as they quietly entered the large room. Noticing the room was filled with Warriors, Usagi recognized the Officers from their vessel seated near the front of the room. Walking down the aisle she watched everyone in the room stand in unison, before bowing down to her. Looking at the display of respect with tears shining in her eyes, she felt Aeyon gently touch her shoulder as they continued forwards. Seeing three new faces amongst the council, she noticed two of the seats were still empty. Stopping before the three new Council Members, she watched with surprise as Aeyon continued walking forwards, soon sitting amongst the Council Members. Swiftly bowing, she turned her full attention towards the Council Members before she spoke. "I apologize for my tardiness Council Members. I-"
"Commander, your power is indomitable as a Sailor Guardian." Aeyon stated, abruptly interrupting her. "Tell us, what are your plans with this power Commander?"
"I have been bestowed this power to protect our realm and restore peace amongst the realm." Usagi said while sternly looking at her Commander. "These threats and senseless acts of violence must be stopped. Such as the Wrazinians, they threatened to annihilate an entire race for crossing into their border. They were nearly successful, if it had not been for my power awakening. This tyranny must end, our realm should be at peace, working and coming together as one."
"Tell me, what will prevent you from fleeing, now that you possess the power to freely move amongst the realm?" A Council Member sternly asked.
"I belong to no one Council Member." Usagi sternly stated, removing her brooch as she held it up before the council. "Sailor Cosmos is a part of who I am now, I will go wherever I am needed." She said, watching the Council Members quietly talk amongst one another.
"How do we know you're not a threat to Kailae?" Another Council member asked, watching the Commander smirk.
"After I awoke as Sailor Cosmos, I could have allowed the Wrazinians to ravage Kailae. After what has been done to the Earth, it's inhabitants, my Sailor Senshi, and my mate, the Earth Guardian." She said, sternly looking at the Council Members. "Instead, I chose to stay and fight, I chose to protect this planet, my home."
"Why didn't you leave us to the wrath of the Wrazinians?" Council Member Aeyon challenged, as he smirked. "After everything we've done you Commander, why did you still choose to help us?"
"I have sworn allegiance to Kailae, I am a Kailae citizen, and a Kailae Warrior." Usagi said sternly looking at Aeyon. "Kailae is now my home, and I will protect my home and the people I care about." She said, keeping her gaze stern as she spoke. "What happened to Kailae, what the Wrazinians did to us, it is no different than what the Kailae did to Earth and its inhabitants." She said struggling to keep her words steady as she spoke. "What the Wrazinians did to our Council Members, is what was done to the Earth's Guardian." She said as her voice wavered slightly. "What the Wrazinians did to the countless numbers of Kailae Warriors and Recruits, this is what was done to my Sailor Senshi by the hands of the Kailae. The Kailae has the same amount of blood on their hands, just as the Wrazinians. In my eyes, justice has been served for what has happened on Earth, no more blood needs to be shed."
"If we were to give you orders to fight for us as a Sailor Guardian, will you?" A Council Member stated, watching the young woman shake her head before she spoke.
"I will follow orders as acting Commander of the Kailae, but I will not take orders as Sailor Cosmos. I will not be used as a weapon, or any means of a tactical advantage." Usagi sternly answered. "It is time for this realm to be at peace, that is why I have been summoned. It is time for the Kailae and for the Wrazinians to change their ways. We should be working together, not against one another. The Kailae has one ally now, you are allies with Kinmoku, you have established trade, and a base on their planet. Why can we not continue this, and form more allies amongst the realm?" She challenged, then abruptly turned hearing a Warrior stand from the crowd in the room and address the Council.
"It's true!" A Warrior called out, before nervously standing. "I witnessed a Kinmoku Guardian fighting amongst the Kailae. She saved my life and the life of my friend." He said motioning to the silent recruit sitting next to him. "We had three Wrazinians approaching us and ready to kill us. We were without weapons, we were defenseless against the three Wrazinians. If it wasn't for the Kinmoku Guardian attacking the Wrazinians, I know we would have been killed." He said, watching one of the Council Members nod before he quietly sat in his seat once more.
"Thank you for this detail, we will put this into consideration with our decision." The Council Member stated, watching the recruit bow before silently sitting.
"What if we do not change our ways?" Council Member Aeyon challenged once more as he smirked.
"Then I will have no choice, we will become enemies, and I will be forced to cleanse this planet." Usagi said watching the four members look at her in shock. "I now have the power to wipe out an entire planet. I do not want to use this power, but I will not allow anyone to stand in my way of restoring the order in this realm. There are countless injustices occurring within this realm, it's time for peace, and I will provide this peace, no matter the cost." She said, then noticed one of the Council Members gently smile at her.
"Commander, we owe you a tremendous debt for what you have done for us, for Kailae." The Council Member stated as she turned her gaze towards the young woman. "We are the new acting Council, we will assist you in your endeavor of achieving peace throughout this realm. We have learned the error of our way, through the tremendous loss of life we ensued through the exchange with the Wrazinians. We do not want to see this happen again in our lifetime or our children's lifetime."
"We are willing to change our ways, to work with you in achieving peace throughout this realm." Another Council Member stated as he stood.
"If you will accept, we would be honored to have you as our final acting Council Member." Aeyon stated as he stood, motioning to the empty seat next to his. Smiling when he watched Usagi cover her mouth in shock, he watched as tears streaked her cheeks.
"Will you accept this honor Commander?" The final Council Member asked watching the Commander tearfully nod her head before she spoke.
"Yes, I will accept this high honor." Usagi said bowing. "Thank you." She said, tearfully smiling up at the four Council Members.
(One Year Later)
Looking up at the night sky, Seiya smiled watching a star streak the night's sky. Hearing footsteps he turned his head, watching Haruka quietly approaching. "I figured you would be asleep, what are you doing still up?" He asked chuckling.
Running a hand through her short hair, Haruka smirked as she looked up at the night sky. "The same reason you're still up." She said, watching Seiya smile before chuckling.
"I've been staying up the last three nights waiting for her return, she still hasn't arrived." Seiya said tiredly sighing. "I'm starting to worry that something has happened."
"She is capable of taking care of herself." Haruka said chuckling, as she rested her hand on Seiya's shoulder. "Neko-chan is busy restoring order within the realm, I'm sure she's going to return soon."
"I know." Seiya said worriedly sighing. "It doesn't mean that I'm still not going to worry though." Seiya said watching Haruka smile at his words. "I wish she would reconsider and marry me." He said sadly sighing. "I've asked three times and she still refuses me."
"She cannot be tied down Seiya." Haruka gently stated. "She will never be able to settle down and have a family. Perhaps when peace is finally restored, then she will reconsider, but for now, this is her future. She is busy defending this realm as Sailor Cosmos and restoring everything back to how it should rightfully be."
"I've heard they Wrazinians are considering peace which will permit travel amongst their territory." Seiya said, watching Haruka look at her in surprise. "Odango can be quite persuasive, when she wants to be." He said chuckling with amusement.
"Yes I can." Sailor Cosmos smirked, as she gracefully landed behind the two. "This is the second time I've snuck up on you Guardian, perhaps you should retire." She teased.
"I knew you were there." Seiya cockily stated, watching Sailor Cosmos raise her brow.
"Did you now?" Sailor Cosmos cockily asked, watching Seiya walk forward.
"Yes." Seiya said as he gently wrapped his arm around her waist, gently pulling her closer into his embrace. "What took you so long?" He teased.
"I was in the farthest quadrant of the realm, I was negotiating and going over terms with their King. Soon, very soon I will have that quadrant secured, I just know it." Sailor Cosmos said smiling up at Seiya. "There are six planets in this realm, I only have the Wrazinians and this final planet to secure. Once we can come to an agreement with these final two, our realm will finally be at peace." She said smiling with determination.
"What will happen after you achieve this Neko-chan?" Haruka curiously asked, watching Sailor Cosmos smile as she looked up at her.
"We will form a new council amongst all the planets. We will decide as one what will be best for the safety and prosperity of everyone. Kailae now has two more trade partners along with Kinmoku. We have received an abundance of new goods, resources, and technologies from our new trade partners. I'm sure Kinmoku has seen these vast amounts of resources as well." She said looking at Seiya for confirmation.
"Yes, we have." Seiya said, while proudly smiling down at his beloved. Noticing how tired she looked, he gently kissed her forehead. "Are you alright?" He worriedly asked, gently caressing her cheek.
"Yes, I- it's just-" Sailor Cosmos said, then nervously cleared her throat before speaking. "I don't have much time left, I have to get these negotiations completed."
"Is the Council giving you a deadline Neko-chan?" Haruka worriedly asked.
"No, I'm giving myself a deadline." Sailor Cosmos said, smiling up at her friend.
"Why?" Seiya asked chuckling, then felt Sailor Cosmos gently take his hand.
"Because of our child." Sailor Cosmos said, resting Seiya's hand against her abdomen. Watching Seiya abruptly look up at her, she tearfully smiled as she gently laughed. "We're going to have a baby." She said, then happily laughed as Seiya suddenly had his arm around her waist pulling her closer into his embrace. Feeling him press his lips against hers, she closed her eyes as they shared a deep passionate kiss.
