As everyone watched the flames slowly died down everyone was happy that the threat was finally over they knew the Cullen's had remained but they would get them another time now was the time to celebrate.
Pluto walked up to Saturn and touched her shoulder, Saturn turned to her and saw her eyes she had that knowing look on her face she sighed knowing what she was about to say.
"I need to go back to Japan and talk to hime", she said quietly.
Everyone turned to Saturn hearing what she just said she was leaving them, Paul couldn't believe it his imprint was really leaving before he could make thing's right between both of them.
"Why are you leaving", said Jacob.
"Because she is still a protector and it's her duty to protect the future queen of crystal Tokyo", said Charlie.
Bella walked up to her cousin and touched her hand, "Please don't go Hotaru I still need you", she said gently.
Saturn turned to her cousin and smiled at her, "I have to go back Bella I need to speak with my princess about what has transpired and see if she will release me from my duty so that I can be here with you and everyone else…..my duty is to still protect her but I just won't be bound to her until the ice age start's then I will have to renew my allegiance to her", she said gently caressing her cousin face.
Everyone including the wolves took a needed breath especially Paul his imprint wasn't leaving Forks after all she just had to speak to her princess about releasing her from her duty, knowing she was going to do that put them all at ease that she was coming back to them.
"Let's turn back into humans' boys", said Sam.
Jared and Paul nodded as all three boys went behind the tree and concentrated on becoming human again once they did they quickly put their pants on and walked out from behind the tree.
Saturn turned to the three boys until her eyes landed on Paul she still hadn't fully forgiven him for what he did and it would take her a long time to do just that but she knew what her princess would say to forgive him and let my heart heal from the pain he put her through.
Sam and Jared walked up to Saturn and gave her a hug each, "Please come back I know thing's started off on a rocky start with us but I promise you everything we be alright", said Sam.
Jared gently pulled away and bowed to her, "You have to come back even if your hime say's no we need you here with us we love you like a sister and we don't want to lose you", he said as he stood back up and smiled up at her.
Saturn smiled at both of them, "I will come back I promise but I have to go the only two people who are going to have a hard time letting me go is Haruka-papa and Michiru-mama there not going to let me go so easily everyone else will be happy for me", she said gently.
Jacob walked up to her and hugged her, "You be careful but I don't have to tell you that though", he said laughing gently at her.
Saturn rolled her eyes, "Please like anything can happen to me", she said laughing with him.
Paul was the last to walk up to her he wanted to reach out and touch her but he thought better of it he knew she hadn't fully forgiven him just yet he sighed as he didn't want her to go but he knew she had to leave so she can come back.
"Saturn, why don't you have Paul come with you so hime can better understand everything once you tell her what has transpired", said Pluto.
Paul's eyes widen he could go with her to meet her princess and hopefully she will have Hotaru come back with him so that they can hopefully have a chance at a future.
Saturn turned to Pluto, "You do have a point there but you know how my parent's will handle this especially haruka-papa she will challenge him in duel to determine if he good enough for me", she said rolling her eyes.
"That won't be anything new Saturn you know that", said Pluto.
"Hotaru before you go there is something that I need to discuss with you", said Charlie in a regal voice.
Saturn gulped as she knew that tone of voice she knew Charlie had found out what she had done for Marcus she nodded as she walked up to him.
Demetri had a lot to report back to his master's this girl and her friends would make excellent members of the guards but he knew they wouldn't want to leave but if they could convince them to come to their side and maybe help them overthrow the Romanians once and for all.
Saturn stood in front of her uncle she cleared her throat, "Yes your majesty", she said quietly.
Charlie cleared his throat, "It has come to my attention that you brought someone back from the dead without notifying me about it is that correct", he said looking down at his niece.
Saturn nodded, "Yes I did but I have every good reason to have done that your grace", she said strongly.
"Which was", said Charlie.
Saturn sighed as she looked down then back up at her uncle, "Marcus has been hurting ever since his mate was killed by werewolf's and he has been lost and alone without her he was like me when I had lost henry he was lifeless barely holding on to life I could tell he had tried to kill himself over and over to join her, but his brother's stopped him from committing such acts I did the right thing by bringing her back so that Marcus was at peace and can move on with his life…I knew his suffering and that's why I did it your grace…..I couldn't let him suffer anymore I just couldn't….I know that I am the deceased guides to the afterlife but for this I just had to do this for him please forgive me your grace", she said as she got down on one knee in front of her uncle.
Everyone's eyes widen here was Saturn bowing down to her uncle they never once saw her do that, Bella looked up at her father she started to walk up to him but Jacob grabbed her hand and shook his head at her to not move.
Charlie look down at his niece he knew she did the right thing but he was still king of the underworld and he had laws he needed to uphold he didn't like being king he really miss his brother so much he was better at doing this then he was, Charlie sighed as he gently touched her shoulder.
"I know why you did it, but you know I have to upkeep the laws of the underworld I know one day you will rule the underworld but until then I am the ruler understand that", he said strongly.
Saturn nodded with her head still down, "Yes your majesty…. I am ready to face the consequences but may I serve them after I come back from speaking to my hime", she said quietly.
Charlie nodded, "Yes you may Saturn go speak with the moon princess once everything is settled there you are to return to Forks to receive your punishment is that clear Sailor Saturn", he said strongly.
Saturn nodded as she looked up at him with emotionless eyes, "Yes your majesty I understand", she said in a cold quiet voice.
"Good now get going", he said as he gently lifted her up he smiled down at her, "You know I hate being the king Hotaru this was your father thing not mines…. you know I don't like being a king around you…I understand why you did it because I would have done the same thing as you did", he said hugging her gently.
Saturn nodded as she hugged him back, "I know uncle and I am sorry for breaking the rules but I just had to do this for him I couldn't leave him like that", she said gently.
"I know you couldn't have my dear that's why I am so proud of you now give Serenity my love and your guardians and the inners as well", he said pulling away from him.
Saturn nodded as she turned to Pluto and nodded at her, "Pluto would you mind sending Demetri back to the Volturi please", she said gently.
"Actually, I was wondering if Demetri could stay here with me I have a lot of questions to ask him", said Charlie.
Demetri eyes widen the king of the underworld wanted to speak to him he nodded at him, "Of course sir", he said strongly.
"So, Jacob what is going on between you and Bella", said Sam.
Jacob rolled his eyes at the other wolves, "I imprinted on her is what is going on and that's all you need to know", he said coldly.
Bella rubbed his arm up and down and turned to him, "Be nice to them love", she said gently.
Jacob nodded at her as he smiled at her he turned to Charlie who had a big smile on his face, Jacob quickly dropped his smile when he saw Charlie staring at him.
Charlie looked up at Demetri and smiled at him, "Have a seat on the porch son we have much to discuss just need to be a dad for a few minutes", he said as Demetri nodded at him and sat on the porch swing set.
Charlie walked up to Jacob and Bella smiling at them, "Is there something you guy's want to tell me", he said smiling at them.
Jacob rubbed his neck shyly yeah I imprinted on your daughter Charlie", he said quietly.
Charlie narrowed his eyes at Jacob as he walked up to him, Jacob gulped in fear watching Charlie walk up to him, Charlie left hand produced a small fireball as she smiled darkly at Jacob, "If you ever hurt my daughter in any way possible, if she cries or you do anything to upset her I will personally burn your ass alive, I don't care if you are my best friend son my daughter comes first before anything is that understood Jacob Black", he said darkly.
Jacob eyes widen in fear as he nodded his head," Yes sir I promise to never do anything to hurt her", he said quietly.
Charlie smiled at him as the fireball disappeared, "Good glad we had that talk now you kids get out of here go and tell the elders that the threat is over until the Cullen's make contact with the Volturi or come here", he said turning his back as he walked up to Demetri.
Jacob grabbed Bella's hand and quickly put her on his back as he walked away from the house when he did belle dark side receded back and she became the old Bella she wrapped her arms around Jacob enjoying his presence.
Sam and Jared nodded to Charlie and Saturn as they left and ran into the woods to report back to the elders about what had transpired at the Swans home.
"Oh, Pluto after your finish come back we still haven't had that chat yet", said Charlie as he winked at the scout.
Pluto blushed as she nodded at him and turned away from him not wanting him to see her blush on her face.
Paul walked up to Saturn he wanted to hold her hand or at least touch her but he knew she wasn't ready for that, Saturn turned to Paul with a stoic expression on her face," We are going to Japan to meet our princess our customs are different then America so please be respectful towards her and the prince and everything should go smoothly", she said coldly.
Paul sighed he knew earning her forgiveness was going to be hard but did she have to be so cold towards him he nodded at her, "Of course", he said quietly.
Charlie saw Paul's face and he sighed he turned to Demetri, "Give me one second here then we will talk", he said as the burly vampire nodded at him.
Charlie walked up to Paul and Saturn he turned to the scout, "Saturn I understand your still angry at him and it's going to take a long time to forgive him but must you be so cold hearted to him he made a mistake and it was a big one that could have costed you your life, but Paul is your imprint and you guy's are destined to be together I'm not asking you to forgive him right away but I am asking you to back off a little this is all new to both of you guy's", he said quietly.
Saturn sighed she knew Charlie was right but she just didn't know how to forgive him but her uncle was right she should step back from being so cold hearted towards him and this was new to both of them so she nodded at her uncle, "Of course uncle Charlie", she said quietly.
"Are we ready to leave", said Pluto.
Saturn nodded as she turned to Paul who nodded as he followed Saturn, Pluto walked through the time door as Saturn and Paul followed behind her.
Once the doors closed Charlie turned to Demetri as he sat down in the chair next to him, "I wanted to speak to you alone while everyone is gone", he said kindly.
Demetri nodded, "Of course your majesty how may I help you", he said strongly.
Charlie laughed, "Please call me Charlie no need for formalities…. I have a proposition for you son", he said strongly.
Demetri nodded, "And that is Charlie", he said.
"When Saturn ascends the throne to rule over planet Saturn I want you to be the head of her guard…..I understand you're a vampire but your strong and fast and I know feed off of humans since your eyes are red which is something that we can help with….you see Paul or rather Henry was the head of her guard but because he was her betrothed they were supposed to have been married and ruling over Saturn but that didn't happen when the ice age happens and it's going to there is no stopping it I want you to come to planet Saturn and be her head guard….you will have your own army, you will be in control of everything and you will report to her if anything should ever happen…I was hoping to come to Volterra to speak with your master's about this proposition….I know you guy's can survive the ice age but when princess Serenity ascends the throne and she becomes Neo-Queen Serenity she will use the silver crystal to purify everyone that wants to be cleanse from any darkness or hate they have in there souls…", he said strongly.
Demetri eyes widen he couldn't believe he was being offered a position such as this he didn't know what to say or think he was at a lost for words he knew he needed to speak with the master's about this and he knew he had a lot to think about especially being offered to be head guard for the planet of Saturn and he would have his own army and it could be vampires as well as humans he had a lot to think about he turned to the current king of the underworld, "Thank you for the proposition sir but I must speak with my master's about this and since you are coming with me to speak to them that would be even better", he said strongly.
Charlie nodded at him, "Excellent now I'm going to head inside and wait for them to return if you have to hunt please do not hunt in the area or around La Push that is where the wolves reside is all I ask", he said getting up.
Demetri stood up as well, "Of course Charlie I better get going before they return", he said as he ran into the forest.
Charlie chuckled as he walked inside of his home he went into the fridge and grabbed a beer he turned on his tv and watched the hockey game.
Time Gates
Paul eyes widen he couldn't believe he was walking through the time gates he looked around amazed at what he was seeing never would he have thought he would be seeing this he couldn't wait to show the other's what he was seeing he quietly walked up to Pluto as she was guiding them through time and space.
"Yes Paul", she said gently.
"This is amazing…. I've never imagine myself walking through this", he said kindly.
Pluto smiled at the young king, "No one is allowed through here with the exception of me since I am the guardian of time", she said.
"How did you become the guardian of time if you don't mind me asking", he said fascinated.
Pluto gently laughed, "That is a story for another time you would actually have to ask the other's how they became guardians of there planet's everyone was different", she said as they kept walking.
Paul nodded he was actually getting excited he was going to meet the goddesses he looked down at himself he should have dressed better to meet them.
"You look fine Paul they won't judge you for your appearance", said Saturn.
Paul looked up at Hotaru who was walking next to him, "But I'm going to meet the goddess's royalty in itself and I look like a poor hobo", he said quietly.
Saturn laughed, "No you don't in fact the girls will most likely drool over you since you look like a Greek god to them", she said as they came upon a door.
Hikawa Shrine
The scouts were outside sitting on the front steps of the shrine enjoying the cherry blossoms fly everywhere as a gently wind blew in front of them.
Suddenly a time door appeared everyone got up as they knew Pluto was back.
The time doors slowly began creaking open once it opened out stepped Pluto who smiled at everyone then out step Saturn but she wasn't alone there stepping out of the time door was a Greek god man, he stood at 6'5 he was very muscular and built they could see his 8 pack through his white shirt they could tell it was super tight on him, he wore cut off shorts and shoes with no socks on.
The scout's eyes widen with the exception of Haruka who gave him a look she wasn't impressed with him.
Usagi got up as she saw two of her scouts and a mysterious person she didn't know he was a looker but something told her that things were about to change from here on out.
"Princess", said Saturn as she bowed to her.
"Hotaru-Chan I told you already you don't need to call me that", she said kindly.
"Old habits hime", said Pluto.
Saturn smiled at her princess she quietly detransformed but when she did her bandages showed along with bruises.
Haruka and Michiru eyes widen along with everyone else who had attacked Saturn and why weren't they called.
"Firefly what happened who has done this to you", said an angry Haruka.
Hotaru sighed, "We can talk about that later Haruka-papa right now I want you to meet someone", she said waving off her concern for her.
"Everyone this is Paul…my imprint…. he is the reincarnation of Henry", she said quietly.
Paul bowed to everyone, "It's very nice to meet you all", he said kindly.
Usagi walked up to Paul she smiled at him, "It's very nice to meet you as well Paul", she said sweetly.
The inners were drooling over Paul even Amy they couldn't believe a hunk like him was with Hotaru where did she find him.
Haruka and Michiru walked up to the tall man, Michiru looked him up and down until she saw his face he did look like Henry but a younger version of him she smiled at him, "It's very nice to meet you Paul-san", she said gently.
Paul smiled at her, "I can't believe I'm even meeting all of you, when Hotaru told us you girls were the daughters of Greek gods and goddesses we didn't believe it until she showed it to us", he said excited.
Haruka turned to Hotaru," Firefly are you sure this is henry I mean he does look like him just a little younger", she said gently.
Hotaru nodded, "Yes this is him I've seen him and at first I couldn't believe it was him until he called me by our secret name", she said quietly.
Haruka turned to Paul, "If your Henry prove it to us that your him", she said strongly.
"How am I supposed to do that I didn't even know who this Henry was until she told me about him and showed us what he looks like…. we communicate but we aren't on the same page right now", he said quietly.
"He can shapeshift into a wolf", said Hotaru.
"What", said everyone.
Hotaru turned to Paul, "Go ahead and show them Paul", she said gently.
Paul nodded he turned to everyone and blushed….is there a tree I can go behind I have to strip down naked to shapeshift", he said sheepishly.
The inners eyes widen and had hearts in them they wanted to see him strip down so they can see everything from head to toe.
Usagi shook her head at her friend's she turned to Paul, "You can go behind that tree there", she said pointing to a cherry blossom tree.
Paul nodded as he jogged towards the tree he quickly stripped down he suddenly grew angry as he shapeshift into a wolf.
Paul walked from behind the tree, the other's eyes widen they couldn't believe he transformed into a wolf they all took a step back.
Paul gently walked up to Hotaru he sniffed her hand and licked it he let out a happy yelp at her as he wagged his tag he walked away and walked around everyone else giving them a lick here and there.
"Wow", said everyone as they saw Paul in his wolf form.
"But how is Paul a wolf and henry at the same time", said Amy.
"Queen Serenity reincarnated him he was laying dormant inside of Paul until I came along, he and Henry are one in the same and Paul has imprinted on me meaning he is my other half, and that is why I have to speak to you hime about that", she said quietly.
"What is it Hotaru-Chan", said Usagi.
Hotaru sighed as she bowed her head, "I must ask for you to release me from my duty princess…", she said quietly.
Everyone grew quiet including Usagi, Hotaru was asking to be released from her duty but why it is her duty to protect the royal family.
"Why Hotaru-Chan", said a sad Usagi.
Hotaru has silent tears roll down her face as she looked up at her princess, "Since I am Paul's imprint he is bounded for la push meaning he can't ever leave the tribe and if you are an imprint you are bound to the tribe as well…..if I were to leave and never come back Paul would go insane and eventually kill himself because he is without his imprint and we would have this heavy pressure on our chest's that will hurt us unless we are together….I know I can fight it hime but I….", she said as she got on hand hands and knees and bowed to her princess.
Usagi had silent tears rolling down her face she didn't want to lose Hotaru but she knew she couldn't force them apart from each other especially if it was going to drive Paul insane and he would eventually kill himself.
"Please forgive me hime…I am not trying to break our oath but I must I will accept any consequences you will give me I already broke the law with my uncle and have to answer for that I am so sorry", said Hotaru.
Usagi wiped her eyes as she walked up to Hotaru she gently lifted her arms up and stood her up,"Hotaru-chan I want you to be happy, I want you all to be happy and if this means breaking the oath just for you to be happy then I will do it….I understand the implications of what you are saying I can't keep you two apart especially if it's going to hurt you both and I don't ever want that", she said quietly.
"Usagi…you can't be serious she can't just leave with him….", said haruka.
Paul walked over to his imprint he felt her sadness in their bond he gently licked her hand to let her know he was there for her.
Usagi looked down at Paul she smiled at him, "Do you really care about her", she said gently.
Paul nodded his head he quickly walked behind the tree and shapeshifted back into a human as he quickly put his clothes back on he walk out behind the tree and walked up to Usagi, "I never wanted this….I don't want her to give up her duty to you just because she is imprinted to me if she has a duty then I will let her continue her duty even if it means leaving here without her and suffering until I can't stand it anymore", he said strongly.
"You would do that for her", said Michiru.
Paul turned to her and nodded, "I would in a heartbeat I only want her to be happy and she seems happy here she can come visit whenever she wants to and I will accept that for my consequences that I did to her", he said quietly.
"What did you do to her", said Makoto.
Paul sighed, "I am the reason why she is in bandages and have bruises on her…. I am the reason why she almost lost her life…. I am the reason her cousin snapped and tapped into her powers…. I am the reason for everything and I will be making up for that until she has forgiven me", he said quietly.
"How are you the reason for everything", said Raye.
"Maybe I should start from the beginning can we sit it's going to take a long time to get through this", he said.
Everyone nodded as they walked inside of the hikawa shrine and everyone took a seat, Paul saw how everyone was sitting he cleared his throat and laughed a little, "I've never sat like this before so please forgive me if I don't sit right", he said gently.
Everyone nodded at him as Paul tried to sit down and fold his legs under him he was very uncomfortable for someone his height he took quick breaths trying to get his sitting together after not being able to he growled as he stood back up, "Sorry but I just can't sit like this especially with my height", he said gently.
"That's alright you can stand if you like", said Usagi.
Paul nodded as he cleared his throat, "So to start everything off my name is Paul Lahote and I am from La Push it's the Quileute tribe that I am part of my home life was never easy I have an abusive and alcoholic father who use to beat on my mother until she got tired of it and left…she left me behind and didn't take me with her….so I ended up taking the abuse from my father time and time again…when I got so angry with him one night because I walked inside of the house a minute late he began beating me until I got so angry that I began shaking…..so I ran outside and I ended up shapeshifting into a wolf and trust me the first time transformation is very painful….anyways I was told that I was a protector…..the genes are activated when a cold one is in the area more importantly a vampire…so when Bella Swan, ended up missing Sam, Jared, and I went out to look for her….she was dating Cullen at the time who was a vampire…", he said shaking slightly.
"Hime I got a call from my uncle about Bella which you know about…when I got there she was comatose and barely alive until I used my healing powers on her to get her to snap out of it…. we finally told her who we were and who she was…. to make a long story short hime Jacob ended up phasing next me to and I ended up getting hurt but only because of Paul wanting to attack him….Jacob was trying to protect me from Paul….when a wolf imprints they don't like other men near there mate otherwise they will react….I almost died…but Paul I mean Henry gave me a blood transfusion to save my life….and I haven't fully forgive him for that but after I got attacked Bella's powers activated and she began attacking everyone from what I was told…..", said Hotaru.
Haruka stood up as she glared at Paul, "You put her in danger because you were jealous of another male next to her and she almost died because of you", she shouted.
Paul sighed as he nodded, "Yes and I am so sorry for doing that to her but you don't understand what it's like to be a wolf and the control we have to have around anyone it isn't easy at all I am the most volatile out of everybody because of my upbringing I haven't been able to control my anger but after Hotaru I am trying to work on that for her and for everyone", he said quietly.
Usagi stood up and walked up to Paul she took his hand, Paul's eye widen never has he ever felt so calm and at peace, Usagi smiled at him, "I understand that you are going through a lot but at least your trying to get better and I know thing's haven't been easy for you I can see it in your eyes and I know your going to be an amazing person once you make peace with everything", she said gently.
Paul for his part was at a lost for words he didn't know what to say to her but her presence and aura was so bright and shiny that he never wanted to leave from it or even be away from it.
Setsuna stared at Hotaru begging her forward, Hotaru excused herself quietly as she and Setsuna walk outside of the shrine.
"What is it", said Hotaru.
"The Cullen's…there heading to Forks right now", she said quietly.
Hotaru eyes harden she was finally going to meet those fools that bought harm to her cousin she nodded at Setsuna as she walked back inside of the shrine.
Paul noticed that Hotaru mood changed, "What is it", he said quietly.
"The Cullen's are going to Forks we must go back now", she said darkly.
Paul's eyes harden as well as he growled those leeches were going to get it, there the reason that everything has happened and they were going to pay for that with their very lives.
"Who are the Cullen's", said Makoto.
"There vampires that we have a treaty with they didn't break any of our laws but they broke the vampire laws and a law of Saturn so the one who hurt Bella is going to die", he said coldly.
Usagi turned to Hotaru then to Paul not liking what she was hearing," Hotaru-Chan you know violence isn't the answer surely there is another way", she said gently.
Hotaru shook her head back and forth, "Sorry hime but they broke vampire laws so they have to answer for that but as for Edward Cullen he is the reason that Bella became what she was before I got there and he is going to pay my uncle is already waiting for them to show up and the Volturi is even waiting for them to stand trial for exposing themselves to humans so no him there is no other way around this", she said kindly.
