And I know it's been a long while, I'm sorry! Its ben a crazy time, I started working at a new job and just haven't had the energy. And honestly, I wouldn't be writing now but for the fact that I took the day off for my grandmothers heart surgery. So anyway, I don't own Sailor Moon.
The Sun Princess
Chapter 12
"Come on Usagi, you're slowing down," called Rei as they were running laps around the palace,
"Can it Pyro, you're not running while being nine months pregnant! Of course, I'm going to be slowing down!" screamed Usagi as they ran toward the lake,
"Mom! Leave Auntie Usa alone! Her due date is coming up in three days," said Arianna.
"Yeah, Aunt Rei, leave mom alone, I mean let's face it, I'm not the easiest kid around." Said Chibi-Usa as she ran up. "Besides, Pap-Pap, and Setsuna, needs to see mom and dad,"
"What do they need now?" cried Usagi.
"I believe Pap-Pap wants to go over battle strategy with you and Setsuna, you're due with me in three days, also you have a little surprise when I'm born. That is why I need you and dad there, I need all of you there," said Chibi-Usa.
"Why? What is going on?" asked Rei as Usagi suddenly groaned, and grabbed her side,
"Chibi-Usa, why the heck did you just kick and punch me at the same time?" screamed Usagi.
"I didn't punch you I kicked you." Replied the pink haired girl.
"Usa, I think we need to go on," said Ami as they started to walk toward the castle, "just be careful Usa, we don't need you changing the birthdate of Chibi-Usa,"
"At least we know that you're a pain in the butt and healthy. I can't believe that we can not get an ultrasound done to check on you, but then again you've told us everything about the pregnancy, right?" Usagi asked as she looked sideways at her daughter.
"Yeah, sure I did, what you needed to know, that is." Said Chibi-Usa. "Besides, you love surprises,"
"No, I don't you brat!" screeched Usagi as she swung at Chibi-Usa as the young-looking teen girl who ran ahead of the very pregnant queen. "Ohhh when I get my hands on you, you pink haired devil!"
"Easy Usa, Chibi-Usa is only picking on you because she knows what's coming, and what you will be facing. She's trying to loosen you up," said Rei, "Ari, sweetie go set the princess on fire for your Auntie Usa."
"Gladly." Said the young fire Priestess as she skipped over to her princess and silently sent fire flowers at her long flowy skirt.
"Pyro!" screamed the young princess.
"Leave Auntie Usa alone. You cause her enough trouble soon enough." Yelled Arianna.
"I AM GOING TO COUNT TO THREE AND YOU BOTH WILL STOP AT ONCE OR SO HELP ME YOU WILL BE ON DIAPER DUTY WHILE WE FIGHT IN SIX WEEKS!" yelled Usagi as her crescent moon shined. "ONE! TWO! DON'T MAKE ME GET TO THREE!"
"Yes ma'am." Said the two girls as they stood at attention. "Chibi-Usa, your mom says that way too much in the future, minus the diapers though."
"Don't I know it. I've been hearing it my whole life." Said Chibi-Usa with an eyeroll.
By the time they made it back up to the castle Usagi was ready for a nine-course meal and a nap. "Let's get this party started, oh bless you Mako." Said Usagi as she sat down at the war table with a plate full of hot pork filled nikuman, rice balls, and sweet balls. "Yum."
"Ser-Bear, we have six weeks and three days until the final battle, what is your plan?"
"Right, okay, first of all have we located Merlin?" asked Usagi as she set down her half-eaten plate, at everyone's shake of heads, she continued, "Okay I'll see if I can locate his signature, Setsuna, I'll need your help for that, seeing as he is your brother. Next, we will not be unfreezing the earth until last, I do not want any casualties in the general population, in fact what I would like to do is bring them here where we have the home advantage, but seeing as how we can not locate them, we have to go there, but maybe we can pull them to a battle field where we have some advantage, like the frozen tundra were we battled Queen Beryl, at least then we will know that the people of Earth are safe. So what we will do is leave Baby Chibi-Usa here with the three queens,"
"The sweet heck you are, they are attacking my Home, and I'll be darned if I allow them to attack my home." Said Queen Gaia.
"In all honesty my queen, the female advisors will stay here, with the baby, we can not fight, but we can transform into our human counter parts and take care of the little one." Said Luna
"Luna, you will not ever call me that again, it is and always will be Usa, or Ser which ever one you decide, and that goes for all of you, you are not my subjects, you all are my family." Said Usagi as she rubbed Luna behind the ears. "Now, we will need a big enough blast to bring their attention to us, Rei, can Phobos and Deimos possibly carry two of the male advisors, I would like to have them in the air to give feedback, and a birds eye view."
"Yes, they can, and will do so willingly as long as they keep their claws in, and also as long as it is not Eclipse, they still haven't forgiven him for the loss of feathers," said Rei,
"That wasn't my fault," said the gray cat, "They said they wouldn't go too far up but they did."
"We will be putting harness on them for protection, from both claws and stray attacks, now back to the attention grabbing burst, I am thinking, that maybe what we do is pull the people of Japan to the moon, keep them in statis just long enough to fight, and bring the crystal palace up, ouch! Stop kicking me Chibi-Usa!" screamed Usagi at her stomach. "I swear, you were a brat since day one," she then said to her teenaged daughter.
"Mom focus, we need the plan," said Chibi-Usa.
"Right, so as I was saying, can we pull the people here or even down to the old earth palace?" she asked the queens,
"We can pull the entire earth population to the abandoned palaces." Said Queen Selene.
"Good, now that will bring their attention to us, but first we need to plan where we will be going to fight, I say in Jubin Park. It's big and right outside of the site for the palace. But honestly, I rather like our chances in the frozen tundra. We won't have to worry about rebuilding the city. After the time warp is disengaged, we will have mother, Gaia, and Diana will combine their powers for a supernova blast to bring them to us. Once there, split off into groups, fight their weakness's Rei, Arianna you will partner off with Minako and Aphrodite. Combine your powers, use the love me chains to hold down the ice dragon, Hotaru, you will go with Ami, Setsuna, and Athena to deal with Setsuna's brother. Makoto, Harkura, Hera, Micheru you will watch our backs and work with the Shitennou for counter measures, Chibi-Usa, you will join your father and the Queens in creating a force field shield to keep them from escaping. Jordan, Maddy you will be with me, as keepers of the three royal crystals, we will have to end Minerva. But we will try to heal her first, I hope she decides to follow Nehelenia into the light instead of being destroyed." Now does anyone have any questions?" Usagi asked as she stood up.
"One. Who are you and what have you done with my ding dong brained Usagi?" asked Rei.
"One, I never was a ding dong brain. Two, I've just realized that not only a wife, a sailor scout, a princess. But I am about to become a mother, a queen and have so much responsibility that it was time for me to grow up." She rubbed her belly as her little one moved; my she was huge! "Now is there any ice cream? And Setsuna lets get going in searching, Chibi-Usa we may need your help as well."
"I'll get the ice cream and meet you in the shrine." Said Chibi-Usa with a smile.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"Setsuna, how is this going to work?" asked Chibi-Usa as she sat beside Usagi who was rubbing her back.
"We will have to pull forward our crystals, since it was my family who created the time warp around Merlin who is your uncle and lost on Earth, you will need to be the middle point, Usagi has a stronger tie to him due to lineage. Really Queen Selene would be the best but seeing as she no longer has the Silver Crystal, it is now up to you. Now pull forward the Silver Crystal, Pink Heart Crystal and I will pull Forward my Garnet Time Crystal." She said as all three pulled forward their Crystals, "Focus Usa, feel the family line, you can feel your daughter's and mother's lines, your connection to Minako, and Shingo, now focus on your mothers line, see the split, to your line and that of her brother, follow him, where is he?"
Usagi looked deep into the Earth. She could see his aura, the pure white of his moon lineage, he is surrounded by darkness, but he is a blinking light of hope, but dimming. Hold on Uncle Merlin! We are coming for you!
That is it for this chapter, next one we will be having a big surprise and the finale will be after that. Have fun!
