Chapter One

'We would like to continue living together as we are, for as long as we can. We want to keep making our future together as we have already. No matter how difficult it is, we want to keep living these lives, these fates…!' Tsukino Usagi, Sailor Moon Stars Manga Book 12

Neo-Queen Serenity was sat down staring into her vanity mirror with a straight face. She was sat on a low stool with a silver cushion. Her demeanour would appear to other people on the outside that she was relaxed but inside there was a storm of anxiety brewing. Her beautiful, long silvery hair with fading blonde tints remained in her trade mark odango style cascading past her waist and nearly touching the marbled floor. She wore her queenly white gown that hugged her figure and covered her crystal like heels.

It had been almost 900 years since the establishment of Crystal Tokyo; actually it was 900 years today, a Thursday. Serenity pondered over what this all actually meant as her daughter was now able to transform into Sailor Chibi Moon. As each year went by Serenity would think back to the day she had changed everything. She reflected about the moments that led up to the disaster of Earth and the sacrifice she had made to not only to bring peace but also to make her friends and her family happy.

Thirty minutes until her first meeting for the day. King Endymion had wordlessly walked in and out of their bedroom looking over papers for the meeting. The last thing he had said to her made her smile.

"Usako, lets send a note saying we're sick and stay in bed all day, I really don't want to go to this meeting" Endymion said with a boyish grin as he left their room. It was good some things didn't change as Serenity had feared. It took time to remember who she was in the past, she had put that down to the decision she had made.

That was the thing. Every anniversary that came around celebrating the birth of Crystal Tokyo Serenity would find herself on the surface level happy but deep in her heart she would be thoughtful. What had their lives become? What had it all meant, all the heartache and strife followed by glittery moments of love and laughter? Serenity hadn't told them the truth; she couldn't, not yet anyway. There were times in her past as Tsukino Usagi where she wondered why she could no longer transform into Sailor Moon once she became Neo-Queen Serenity, that was what her future-self had revealed but now looking back, she could see it, she had made that all important decision. Did she regret it? She wasn't sure. Not all her wishes had come true so in a sense she was still in mourning over her inability to join her friends in battle but she was promised and that promise sometimes would show itself in a dream or a vision reminding her that it would still happen, it was going to happen.

"Serenity, it's almost time, the Earths council are about to take their seats" Venus came in looking at her close friend. Venus then took the opportunity to wrap her arms around her friend.

"Come on Usagi-chan, we're having a party later, 900 years! We've done great!" Usagi smiled as Venus chatted away excitedly. If only she knew what Serenity had done all those years ago, if only she could tell them the truth, tell them her worries, her fears but she couldn't could she? She had everything didn't she? She was Queen of the Earth, she had all her friends, she was married to the love of her life, she had a precious daughter and she had brought about a long lasting peace with only little signs of chaos. She should be happy, shouldn't she?

As she got up and followed Venus she looked about the hallway of her palace. There was a guard stationed at every entrance ever watchful but as their Queen walked past they smiled. She was their saviour and they were loyal but would that stop the whispers that went about the kingdom, whisperings of her right to rule after all these years. The average life span since Serenity had become Queen was about 1,000 years, was that limited to only normal people? Many believed that the royal family and the Senshi would live well past 1,000 years. A 1,000 years hadn't past as of yet so that remained to be seen but Neo-Queen Serenity did wonder how old her own mother was before she died.

899 years ago…

Chiba Usagi was walking around the Azabu-Juuban area because she felt fidgety. Her legs were hurting due to her pregnancy so it was beyond her why she was out walking. Chiba Mamoru would be very upset if he knew in her late stage that she was out and about without anyone to watch over her. The baby was due very soon and everyone was on edge. Oh, that's what she needed, strawberries and lots of them! She had developed a craving for the fruit which wasn't a bad choice to have as a craving, or was it? She had just turned 22 years old and she was a stay at home wife after graduating from university. She had fallen pregnant literally at her wedding. Most of her friends were at work but she knew Hino Rei would make time for her princess. So after picking up a box of strawberries Usagi made her way to the Hikawa Shrine.

The shrine brought many happy memories for Usagi as she saw the familiar blossom trees at the entrance. Phoebus and Demos were flying about squawking as they saw Usagi. Tucking into another Strawberry Usagi sat down at the steps of the Shrine and waited for her friend. Rei had taken to teaching history lessons at the shrine when she could to get people, particularly young people, to take an interest. It was proving successful as more and more people came to see Rei and the temple. She was an excellent teacher as the classes gave her focus and a purpose beyond that of being a Senshi, but being a Senshi was her life and that would never change, not that she wanted it to. Rei waved goodbye to her students and then looked angry at Usagi.

"Ah Odango you shouldn't be walking about like this in your condition!" Rei said as Usagi got up looking sheepish.

"Come on Rei I can't stay in the house all day, I do need to breathe" Usagi retorted as she walked into the shrine. Rei shook her head in a disapproving Rei as she smiled at her princess. Usagi stumped into the shrine and towards the back where Rei liked to keep things more private. Usagi then sat down cross legged on a mat placing her box of half eaten strawberries on the low table.

"I'll make some tea then" Rei said as she went away. Usagi placed a hand on her baby bump and started humming. At least little Chibiusa wasn't kicking her today, thank goodness for small blessings! Rei came back in with the tea and then sat opposite Usagi. Rei was quiet as she sipped her tea. Usagi looked at her dear friend and soon the thoughts that she had been plagued with came to mind. She didn't understand her thoughts but nonetheless they were there breathing behind her neck, placing its hands on her shoulders trying to shake her to action. Usagi sipped her tea.

"Not long to go then, should be this year right?….." Rei said as she placed her tea on the table. Usagi's mind returned to the room and she looked at Rei questioningly. Rei was the type of person who rarely allowed her true emotions to show, it was even difficult to reveal them to those closest to her but for her princess and comrades she tried.

"You become Neo-Queen Serenity at the age of 22; Chibiusa will be here in four months. Things are moving so quickly" Rei said as she smiled.

"Soon we'll be full time Senshi" Rei said sounding up beat. Usagi wondered if there was something deeper within the conversation, something left unsaid.

"Yeah, it seems time has sped away with our lives. It seemed like only yesterday we were all still at school thinking of our futures" Rei nodded at Usagi's words.

"I sometimes wonder what we're going to be doing in Crystal Tokyo, what are our lives going to be like?" Rei said as she looked slightly dreamy but her mind was very much in the room.

"I wonder that too and it scares me" Rei looked at Usagi as she spoke.

"Usagi-chan…" Usagi shook the coming tears as she heard Rei say her name.

"I am meant to protect everyone right? And I want to but what if something bad happens and I can't do it? What if I can't make all of you happy?" Rei got up and sat down next to Usagi which stopped her speaking.

"Our happiness revolves around you princess. As long as you are alive then we are happy, as long as you are safe then we are happy. Please don't put too much pressure on yourself" Usagi hugged Rei tightly as Rei spoke her comforting words. What Rei didn't know was the thoughts Usagi had kept in her heart.

Usagi waved goodbye to Rei as she went home. Rei wasn't sure what to think from Usagi's words but she was worried. Maybe she should call the others to let them know? Or maybe it was the pregnancy? Rei then realised that she had to make more tea, her ailing grandfather would be awake and he always enjoyed the tea he got when he woke up. Sighing and looking up towards the sunset Rei wondered, what was her future going to be like?

Usagi walked in silently into the home she and Mamoru had built. Mamoru wasn't home yet but he had left a message to let her know he would be a little late. At least there was a frozen pizza there that Usagi could start cooking. The home was small; it was a cosy two bedroom apartment with a comfortable sized living room, kitchen, bathroom and even a little study room for Mamoru when he needed his space to do some work. Usagi sat down on their brown leather sofa and switched the TV onto the news. As the news reporter spoke about the recent natural disaster striking the earth Usagi's mind was elsewhere. Night had fallen and she begun to think. Lost in her own world Usagi only just heard the timer go off reminding her to check the pizza. Switching the oven off Usagi heard the door open. Mamoru walked in wearing a white lab coat and glasses.

"Usako, I am sorry I am a little late, are you ok?" Mamoru asked as he kissed Usagi's forehead.

"I'm always ok when you're around" Usagi smiled making Mamoru look lovingly into her eyes.

Time passed as Mamoru got changed and then had some pizza. Mamoru then made some hot drinks and the two lovers sat down watching TV. Again, Usagi was lost in her thoughts.

"Usako, are you really ok?" Mamoru held Usagi's hands and looked deeply into her eyes.

"Mamo-chan, I'm going to ask you something and I want you to promise me you'll answer truthfully" Mamoru wasn't sure he liked what Usagi was asking of him but he simply nodded. Usagi took in a sharp intake of breath.

"Do you miss your guards, the Shitennou, I mean, they were your loyal friends in the past weren't they" Mamoru was taken aback by Usagi's question.

"What has brought this on?" Mamoru asked. Usagi didn't answer him as she waited for her own question to be answered.

"I have you and you're all I need and will ever need. Yes, I do miss them by my side, I hardly remember our time together in the Silver Millennium but that's the past, you're my future Usa, you and Chibiusa" Mamoru said still holding Usagi's hand. Usagi smiled but her thoughts wouldn't quieten. He missed them, that was all she needed to know and she was sure given the chance, reconciliation could have happened between them and her Senshi.

Mamoru was in a deep sleep but Usagi was awake looking up towards the moon. It shone brightly into their bedroom and illuminated Mamoru's perfect jawline. She placed her head back on her pillow with her mind filled with anxiety. Was she selfish? She apparently had everything she could wish for but were her friends happy? Her friends had found love in the past; didn't they deserve that for their own future? Didn't the love of her life deserve his own friends, his own protectors? Suddenly Usagi felt very tired and soon she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

She was surrounded by a great expanse of space. Fog and mist covered the ground making it difficult for Usagi to navigate where she was. A small woman with very long hair watched Usagi as she tried to figure out where she was. Her transparent dress glittered over her baby bump as the mist cleared around her. The small woman then waved her staff about to make the mist disappear quicker. The tiara on her head caught Usagi's attention. Usagi stared at the beautiful sprite of a woman.

"Guardian Cosmos?" Usagi remembered her all those years ago; she was the guardian of the cosmos crystal and resided with the Galaxy Cauldron. The cauldron was filled with possibilities that could be born and Guardian Cosmos had been expecting this remarkable young woman to visit her again.

"Coming here in your condition princess, you are indeed very special" Guardian Cosmos said in a calm voice. Usagi slowly walked up to the sprite and she noticed how small Guardian Cosmos appeared.

"Why am I here?" Usagi asked. Guardian Cosmos gave a knowing smile.

"I think you know the answer to your own question princess" Usagi gulped at her words.

"It's because of my thoughts" Usagi said in a small voice.

"No, it's because of your heart's desire to make your friends happy no matter the cost to your own happiness. I can make it happen princess, the first step is to simply ask" Guardian Cosmos said firmly but still in a friendly, almost motherly voice. Usagi nodded and then placed a hand on her heart.

"I love my friends and I am happy we were able to return to the way we were. I know this may sound selfish but I am worried about our futures. My dream is to always be with my friends and to always be able to make them feel safe. They have always sacrificed not only their own lives but also their chance for love. I have Mamo-chan with me always but I have come to realise my friends do not have what I have, there are others who never got the chances we did and I think it's an injustice. Please, I want to make my friends happy, I want Mamo-chan to have his friends back, please, bring back the Shitennou. I know this must be a selfish request but I also want my friends to be with me always and Mamo-chan. I want our future to be a peaceful one or as peaceful for as long as possible, I also want Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Saturn to never be alone again, I really want them with us" Usagi said although she was shaking. She didn't know what her request meant but she was about to find out. Guardian Cosmos closed her eyes and then placed her staff forward. Four lights appeared. One red, one green, one silver and one greyish coloured. The stones shined brightly and then dimmed as Usagi went to touch them. Guardian Cosmos then opened her eyes and a serious look appeared on her face.

"Their seeds have been here a long time. They have consulted the Prince throughout his battles. Bringing them back will not be like when you were able to bring back your friends. To bring back these men and also, to grant your wish for your friends and for the peace you seek, you will need to sacrifice something important to you, something big enough to claim all four souls and to grant what you want for the earth and your friends. Are you prepared to make such a sacrifice?" Guardian Cosmos left the question hanging in the air as Usagi was stumped. What could she say?

She tried to remember her friends, the Senshi and their words. Rei wasn't bothered about marriage and it seemed Minako, Ami and Makoto had moved on but had they really? Was that their true emotions? And what about Mamoru? He had said he did miss them didn't he? She was sure her friends wanted peace as they had all been through so many battles. Was it wrong to want peace for as long as possible?

"What is the sacrifice I need to make?" Usagi asked. Guardian Cosmos was quiet for a moment as the stones shone brightly.

"You would need to sacrifice your life as a Sailor Senshi. If you want to save these four seeds and have your other wishes granted then you would need to give up being Sailor Moon and be satisfied being just Usagi and Serenity. You will no longer be able to fight alongside your friends in battle. You will have to accept your state as a Queen and watch as your friends fight for you" Usagi nodded in shock at Guardian Cosmos words. Did she really want to do this? Did she really want to give up being a Sailor Senshi? But then the image of Mamoru came up into her mind and then the Inner Senshi. Usagi had flashbacks of her friends during particular moments that had caught her attention like when she noticed Makoto looking at a loved up couple holding hands when they were out shopping once. Ami had watched a couple who were working together in the public library on a project, Rei had seen a couple come to her shrine together and Minako saw nothing but couples.

But still, this was a big decision wasn't it? What would it mean to her not being able to transform into Sailor Moon anymore? Would she really be able to stand by and watch her friends fight for her? She knew what her heart wanted, deep down she knew what she truly wanted, her friend's safety and happiness. She had made her decision.

"I agree to those terms" Usagi said firmly. Guardian Cosmos nodded and then the stones disappeared.

"What's happened to them?" Usagi asked bewildered.

"I have set their seeds free" Usagi looked up towards where the stones had gone but she couldn't see them anymore.

"Princess, I must warn you. Do not believe that it will be easy. Although it is admirable that you want peace and want your friends by your side, peace will not last forever and you will face chaos again, for now it is too small to cause any trouble so it will be kept here for a time. Your friends will always be with you but death is a part of life, you must accept this when the time comes but for your wish, you will experience something different with your friends and in a way, you will always have them with you. The four souls you have asked for will not come back immediately. I can't say when they will come back but it will be a long time before they do. By the time they are brought back into your world time would have moved on and your feelings and that of your love and your friends may have changed. You must accept the challenges that lay ahead of you. It will be hard princess but have faith and never give up on them" Guardian Cosmos started to disappear but her words rang in Usagi's ears. The mists begun to wrap themselves around Usagi as she slowly opened her eyes. She was back in her room with a headache. She then looked at Mamoru who was still sound asleep, dead to the world. Was that just a dream?

Three months had passed since that moment and Usagi still wondered whether it was all a dream. Usagi was now heavily pregnant and everyone was preparing for the birth. Mamoru had the cot built and bought a load of stuff for the coming arrival. He was very happy as he kept telling everyone he was going to be a dad soon. Usagi had Setsuna with her a lot as the time for Chibiusa's birth was about to come. She said after the birth things would move quickly so the Outer Senshi was on hand to be with their princess.

"Do you know what's going to happen…Setsuna-chan?" Usagi asked one day whilst they were alone in Setsuna's apartment. Setsuna looked at her princess and smiled.

"That I am unsure of. There are many things that can happen but all I know is that a disaster will hit the earth and you will save them. How that will happen we will see. When the time comes, the Outers and I will go back to our posts and watch over you and the Prince until the time comes for your awakening" Usagi took in Setsuna's words and then looked outside. It had been raining heavily all day and there were reports of floods and a great freeze. In fact all over the world was experiencing extreme weather; it was as if the earth was attacking its inhabitants. People were scared and in some places people had started looting declaring the end of the world had come. There were many shows where panel discussions would take place on what to do but nobody could agree. People were scared, very scared.

Uranus and Neptune looked forlorn as the approach of Chibiusa's birth was coming. It wasn't the fact that Chibiusa was going to be born that made them forlorn, they were excited about her arrival. No, they were forlorn because soon Usagi would have to protect the earth from a great disaster. It meant they would have to leave their friends to their fates and wait for when Usagi became Neo-Queen Serenity. But they had every faith in her and believed that no matter how bad things got, their princess would save them, she always did. During the final week Usagi was due to give birth, Rei suggested they meet at her shrine for a party; it might be the last party they would have for a long time. A great cold hit japan and there were numerous blizzards hitting the region. Other parts of the world were facing reverse weather conditions going against the laws that governed the seasons. What was frightening were people saying it was like a second ice age was coming? Usagi was snug in her large pink jumper and long dark pink skirt. Mamoru wore a black turtle neck jumper and a blue scarf around his neck as he helped his wife out of his car. Mizuno Ami was on hand to make sure Usagi didn't slip over the ice.

"Oh Makoto-chan these look great!" Aino Minako said in a happy voice as she looked at the numerous food dishes Kino Makoto had lovingly made. Makoto blushed at the compliment as Rei brought in the drinks.

"Really, it's nothing, I made it at the restaurant, they have all the utensils I needed" Makoto said whilst rubbing the back of her head and taking a glass of wine. Rei poured a small glass of wine for Usagi but the wagged her finger at Usagi.

"Enjoy that glass Odango, you're not getting another drop until Chibiusa is here" Usagi pouted at Rei as Rei smirked and then went back into her kitchen to get some orange juice and lemonade ready for Usagi. Mamoru winked at his wife and then sipped his wine as the Outer Senshi arrived.

"Ah good, Odango hasn't seen the cakes yet" Tenoh Haruka said as her eyes twinkled looking at Usagi. Kaiou Michiru playfully slapped Haruka on her shoulders before smiling at Usagi warmly.

"It good to see you well princess" Michiru said with her own eyes twinkling. Meiou Setsuna and Tomoe Hotaru both smiled at the princess as well before taking something to drink. Everyone was there and the air intensified as Rei made a coughing noise for them all to stop speaking. They all looked at Rei expectantly. Minako then stood next to Rei and appeared to be the one who was going to speak.

"So, I am glad all of you were able to make it. I know over the years it has been hard to keep in touch but somehow we stayed close to each other, even when great distances separated us" Mamoru nodded at Minako's words as well as the Outer Senshi.

"We always knew this time would come, the time when our futures would change. We've had small glimpses of our futures and I guess some of us are scared. We know things would have changed in the future because there were many unexpected things that happened in our time, things that attempted to destroy our futures, to destroy us" Minako closed her eyes and prepared herself to continue. Artemis and Luna both looked on at the leader of the Senshi.

"It seemed unfair we knew about our futures but then again, we don't know our futures anymore, not really, not since our last battle. We faced an evil from our future and that of course must have changed things. What I'm saying is…. the one thing that remains constant is that our Usagi will be our future Queen and Mamoru-san our King. This we know. We also know that Small Lady will be born soon but once that birth happens, Usagi will be approaching the time when she will have to defend this planet. We were told that a great disaster will hit the earth and through intense research Ami-chan has pulled out data that proves the extreme weather phenomenon is going to get worse. Guys, the disaster is approaching and we must prepare for what lies ahead of it, we must protect our princess and prince ensuring their safety. Do you all understand what I am asking of you" The rest of the Inner Senshi and Outer Senshi all nodded. Usagi wasn't sure what this meant but she felt as if she didn't like it. Looking up at Mamoru Usagi could see he was unsure too. He then held Usagi's hand.

"Although we appreciate what you are prepared to do for us, Usagi and I will not allow you to sacrifice yourselves on our behalf. We will work together as we have always and we will come out of this together" Mamoru looked down at Usagi as he said the words 'together' and Usagi smiled up at him. He always knew the right words to say. Minako nodded along with the rest of the Senshi but they had all already made their minds up. They knew the disaster was coming and they had to be prepared for anything.

Two weeks after that meeting Usagi gave birth and named her daughter after herself. She was a small baby but she had massive lungs when she screamed out to let the whole world know another star seed had been born. As Mamoru sat down next to his now tired wife and sleeping baby they looked like the perfect family. The Inner and Outer Senshi looked on happy, holding presents and cards. Usagi's parents were there happy they were grandparents and Shingo was now an uncle. Motoki was there with his own wife glad that Usagi had a safe birth. His own son had been born that same year. Osaka Naru and her husband Umino had also made time to see their old friend. And in the background where no one could see them, the spirits of the Shitennou looked on at their Princes' content face. They then disappeared as quickly as they had appeared. Helios smiled warmly as he felt the presence of his fair maiden being born, he looked forward to seeing her in the future. Everything seemed peaceful as the storm raged on outside shattering houses, flooding people's homes and businesses and interfering with the power lines. Usagi could only think of the birth of her precious daughter. She wasn't ready for the nightmare that was to take place a few months later.

Present Crystal Tokyo

Neo-Queen Serenity sat down in front of the advisors of the earth. They had all come to discuss matters and get the approval of their sovereign. This was how it was since she had become Queen. Systems had to be set up to bring order and destroy chaos. Everything was a mess all those years ago and Neo-Queen Serenity had to make some tough decisions along the way to reach this point. Chibiusa would be away training with her Sailor Quartet right now, that's all Serenity could think about as the meeting was about to begin. King Endymion had his serious face on but just like his wife, he wished he wasn't there. But where could he go? Yes he still had Motoki and that was a welcome relief but something was missing, he just wasn't sure what it was. He knew one topic that was going to be discussed and he wasn't keen on it. It was the issue of absolute power, who had the right to rule. This thinking was so all of a sudden that Endymion couldn't get his head around it. They had started complaining that the work is too much for the Senshi and they lord it over all the 'humans'. Endymion had to roll his eyes at that, were they not born of earth like the rest of them? They have had 900 years of peace so maybe it was a bit too much of a surprise that now they were facing issues. As the meeting was about to start Serenity felt her mind drift. Although her eyes were open and she was aware of what was happening, her mind was back in the grand expanse of the familiar mists. She looked around and around until Guardian Cosmos appeared.

"Serenity….." Guardian Cosmos called out.

"Yes, I am here" Serenity said.

"My look how much you have grown. You are truly beautiful and you have done so well" Serenity nodded and blushed at Guardian Cosmos words.

"There is only one more of your wishes to come true your majesty, it will now be fulfilled" Serenity looked at Guardian Cosmos confused. It had been so long since she last had any dreams about her time with the sprite that she was starting to truly believe that she was going mad.

"Guardian Cosmos, I am unsure what you mean?" Serenity needed to hear it, needed it all confirmed. Was her sacrifice for nothing or was it all true, was that dream she had all those years ago true?

"They will come to you Serenity but you must be prepared for the challenges ahead. Chaos is growing more and more and the peace you have known will come to an end, but have courage, you can restore peace once more, have faith and be strong Serenity, your friends, your family will need you and never give up on them, remember these words Serenity, never give up on them, it will all work out in the end to fulfil your wishes" Guardian Cosmos started to disappear deaf to Serenity's cries. Serenity tried to grab Guardian Cosmos but she was gone.

"Serenity, are you alright?" Neo-Queen Serenity was now looking at Endymion. He was concerned as the meeting was called. The advisors hadn't noticed anything but of course her husband would, he was attuned to his wife and her emotions. Neo-Queen Serenity looked around her and noticed the Inner Senshi were also looking at her concerned. Neo-Queen Serenity then smiled at them and then at her husband.

"I'm alright, everything will be alright" King Endymion didn't know what those words meant from his wife. He didn't know if he should take it just on face value or was there a deeper meaning to her words. The meeting continued.

Hi Everyone, I'm now back to the fanfiction world after taking a break. I suffered a little writers block so I decided to take some time away and complete some of my stories. I really want to apologise to all those who followed and fave'd Tears of Selene two and The Fifth Shitennou. I deleted them as I feel my writing has changed and I could make the stories a lot better. The Fifth Shitennou has been moulded into a completely new story that I am currently doing now, Marcasites character will make more sense in the new story when I publish it here. Tears of Selene two I wasn't happy with as I felt it wasn't going in the right direction, I should have PM'd everyone first so that is a lesson for me. I will not be deleting any of the stories now but if I ever do I will PM everyone first.

This story came about after I read some Sailor Moon fans thoughts on the Shitennou. I like the SenshixShitennou pairing but I also thought about if they really did come back how would they come back and how would the Senshi take it? Would they just run into the Shitennou's arms? This story came to mind and I really got into it so hopefully you guys like it.

Reviews are always greatly appreciated as this helps me improve the story. I do have some other stories that I am working on and Dark Princes is on hold for now.

I will update soon with chapter two which moves the story forward with the arrival of the Shitennou. There are a lot of flashbacks in this story but they will be italicized.

Enjoy the week guys :-)
