Chibiusa and Pan landed on the familiar ground of Capsule Corporation. They went to the front of the building and knocked on the front door. Mrs. Briefs answered the door cheerfully, she gestured for the girls to enter, whom shook their heads in response.
"We're looking for Usagi and Gohan", Mrs. Briefs cheerily giggled,
"Oh, they're not here, I believe my daughter went with them to their home, I think". The girls eyed each other then nodded in thanks,
"Arigatou Briefs-san", Chibiusa replied, and the girls turned to go where no one could see them. Chibiusa waved around the time key and the miari girls were gone in a flash of pink light. Their destination...the senshi's realm.
Titania and the former king of Vegeta-sei quietly sat, unmoving, just enjoying each others' company. Titania noticed, with much amusement, that this Vegeta had fine hair, unlike the current Prince, soon to be crowned King. The widow's peak was very much the same, but the bangs fell over his eyes in a messy look, the hair was tied back, a pony tail which reached the bottom of his shoulder blades. His eyes were tightly shut at that moment, but they were the coal black ones, set in a permanent scowl. Titania herself was considered very beautiful. Not a common feature in saiyajin women. Her long unruly hair flowed to her thighs, her hair was parted off to the left of her head, long bangs came over her eyes.
A sudden pang of emotion shot through the saiyajin woman. Her eyes shot open, and she freed herself from her lovers' hold. To her dismay she heard Dende's soft voice calling for her it was time to leave. She turned around to look deep into Vegeta's eyes for the last time before her departure.
"Something's not right", she mumbled, he easily picked up what she said,
"What's that?" He questioned,
"I'm not quite sure, but it has to do with Her Majesty". He rose an eyebrow in question,
"Serenity?" Titania nodded, picked up her staff making her hair flare to gold.
"I must go now, but I will soon return, with Serenity-sama, your daughter." A cold shiver ran through the former king, it was his command that the small child be destroyed at first, but in mercy he allowed the lavender-haired queen to take the child with her, permitted if she removed the tail. He didn't know whether it was dread or joy that he felt when the child's name was mentioned, but his daughter would soon come for him, and bring him out of HFIL, into the heavens to be with Titania. The saiyajin woman bid her farewell, struggling to keep from bursting into tears she left the underworld to investigate the new trouble in which she could feel.
Thunder chuckled to herself.
"How could the queen be so foolish?" She mused, "she should've known I was more powerful than to be defeated by that one blast. She will pay". Thunder looked around at her surroundings, ruins. That was what it was, total ruins. It had been quite fun to watch as the princess's returned to their home, horrified at what it was now. Thunder tightened her fist, "one year, and then you're mine, Serenity".
Usagi's eyes widened in horror at the tale the two girls told her. A sudden rage filled her mind and she unconsciously flared to a super saiyajin. The others in the room gasped at the sight, the senshi held their heads in pain when the immense power filled everything in it's path. Usagi noticed every one else, and returned to normal, mumbling apologies.
"In one year....I should start training soon, but after..." She cut herself off, when the cold realization hit her. She slapped herself in the head at the thought, *why hadn't I noticed it before?* she challenged herself. Setsuna answered everyone else's wonderment with two simple words,
"Hai, pregnant". Usagi looked up at the senshi, hearing everyone else gasp, and Chichi shooting dirty looks towards an embarrassed Gohan.
"Arigatou for informing everyone" Usagi sarcastically shot towards the Pluto princess. A red color found itself spreading across Puu's face.
"Gomen, but you'll have to wait until the twins are born, before you can have any serious training." Usagi nodded, indeed her life was full of events, saving the world, getting married, having babies, saving the world again. The wedding was set within the next week, indeed she would be busy, indeed...
Usagi looked at herself in the mirror. Clad in a long white gown with white roses in her hair she was ready to officially give herself to the man she loved. She used to have dreams about marrying Mamoru, back when they were together, but she was thinking to herself about her new choice. I love him, very much so. She thought to herself, this was true love, and from what she learned of Thunder's purpose, she and Gohan were set up even before she was born.
She heard the door open suddenly, a cool breeze sifted through the opening from the open temple doors, Usagi turned her head slightly to see the saiyajin prince standing there. He too was dressed, much to his disliking, but he could not resist saying no to the princess.
"What did you send me for, Brat?"
"Why do you insist on calling me that?"
"Because that's what you are, so tell me what you want already, that damned woman forced me into wearing this ridiculous thing, that you commanded, so what else do you want?" His tone was harsh as usual, but it still held that same softness that he gave towards her.
"I want you to walk me down the aisle, or rather the pathway", they had decided an outdoor wedding would be the best.
"Why would you want me to do a fool thing like that?"
"Because...because it's supposed to be that way, only the father hands the daughter away, but you're the closest thing I have as a father." Vegeta's expression softened,
"Fine, but it wasn't my idea".
The senshi gathered in the Cherry Hill Temple for the reception, the two new wedded couples, Usagi, Gohan, Pan and Juuannagou were situated at the head table. Vegeta insisted he would not attend, to Usagi's dismay, by her request he had walked her down the aisle, or rather the cobblestone pathway in the park, an outdoor event, he was silent through the whole ceremony, although he did nod towards Gohan, and "handed" his kin over, his expression remained in a cold scowl, but Usagi could tell he was full of pride, the two had quite a strong relationship established, she had placed him on a pedestal, as a father figure, as she never knew her father on the moon. Usagi's earthly parents had attended the ceremony, they had met Gohan a few days before, and became quite flustered at the tales in which Usagi had told them, but they quickly understood, besides, both of them preferred Gohan over her past beaux, in which they had not seen for quite some time.
The ceremony consisted of lots of flowers, by the princess' request, Chichi and Bulma both assisted in the making of the bride's gowns, Pan kept silent most of the time, but they had her looking like a royal, in which she was.
Everyone was recalling the day's events and gave their best towards the newly weds. Rei and Miari Trunks had made it out for the wedding, using the communicators Usagi and the senshi received for the princess' first trip into the new dimension. A small baby was situated in the new mother's arms, time had passed faster in the future dimension. The child was a little girl, she already had signs of wild black hair, she had big violet eyes, and a fuzzy brown tail. Deciding the name wasn't too difficult, Miari Bulma had picked out the best one, as it took quite a while to decide. Her name, was "Hope", the future dimension was quite improved since the fire senshi had moved there, already large cities were rebuilt, and small villages showed new life. Rei and Miari Trunks were quite the celebrities, their new baby was quite the news, and many people had sent gifts.
"My best wishes to the brides and grooms, as you embark on a new life..." Several groans rose in the air, the same message had been repeated several times, no one could think of anything original to say, but the groans were followed immediately by laughter. It was Bulma's turn to give her blessings, she stood up and looked around briefly to try and catch a glimpse of her missing mate, she frowned but dismissed the thought quickly and faced the head table.
"What can I say? I could repeat the same speech, but I'm sure you're all tired of that. Usagi, I'll start with you, since you first came into Capsule Corporation, I knew there was something special about you, especially with Vegeta's reaction..."laughter filled the room at the remembrance of the event, "...but there was that air about you, and as soon as you became part of us, I thought of you like a daughter..." Usagi blushed at this and bowed her head lightly, "...and now I see you've married the little mischievous boy, who reminds me so much of his father, so what can I say? I love you so much now, and it grows from day to day, as you become more and more like a daughter that I never had..." She faded at this, a blush crept across her face,
"Until now", several gasps rose in the air, Usagi stood and made her way towards the aqua-haired woman, and hugged her,
"I know what you're up too, Bulma-san, hai, it is a little girl", more gasps rose into the air, "this is a baby-boom, ne?" Bulma turned to re-address the others,
"I am pregnant, for a few weeks now." Cheers rose up from everyone.
It was about 2 in the morning before everyone retired to their rooms, Usagi was the only one left up, she was waiting for one particular person to return, she was quite fatigued by the days' events, but she refused to go to bed. A shadow appeared behind her, she could hear soft foot prints going through the grass, she turned around and faced the half-dressed saiyajin prince. Vegeta was extremely silent.
"The woman opened her big mouth didn't she?" He demanded, Usagi gave a nod, receiving a snort in response. "I knew it was going to be a girl-brat right away", again Usagi nodded. "And it's all your fault", his voice became quieter, "you had to do it didn't you?"
"Iie, Veggie-chan, it's your fault too, when you kissed me on the crescent mark during the fight with Thunder, the touch purified your heart...but you're still an arrogant asshole." The prince snorted again, a slight smile touched his lips,
"Maybe so, Brat, but I still blame it on you".
"Don't be so upset about it, Veggie-chan, I know you're proud about the new addition to the family, and I know how much you love her." He stared at her for several moments in silence,
"Hai, Brat, I know I do too, I just don't tell anyone, it's not the saiyajin way." Usagi shook her head,
"Neither is bonding, for royalty that is." He nodded his head in agreement,
"I know, I know". She gave a small smile, he smirked in response, as he turned around and headed inside. Usagi, finally satisfied followed suit, and went inside...
Rei, Trunks and Hope left early that morning, the sailor senshi bid fairwell to the z senshi, as well as Usagi as they made their way back to their own dimension. Once they re-appeared on the Capsule Corp. grounds, Titania stood awaiting to speak with the Princess. Usagi looked at her questioningly,
"Nanda, Titania? Why are you here?"
"Gomen for this intrusion, but I would like it if you came with me."
Usagi looked towards the others, and turned towards Titania, they hovered into the air, and took off towards heaven.
Titania led Usagi into the opening into the underworld, where they made their way through the thick dense fog,
"where are you taking me, exactly?" Usagi questioned,
"It is time you met your father, Serenity-sama", Usagi's blood began to heat up,
"my father?" Titania nodded, he and I are old acquaintances...Titania recalled her past outloud for the princess to learn, by the end of the tale, Usagi's face was pale, she became nervous to the thought of meeting her blood-father.
Soon enough they made it to where the former King sat quietly, as soon as he layed eyes on the odango-haired woman he too became pale. Usagi looked towards him with hurt in her eyes, she rose her eyebrows, Titania remained silent.
"Otou-sama?" She questioned.
"I do not deserve such a title in which I almost caused your death, princess". She smiled and shook her head,
"I find no fault in you, my King, I only desire to learn of you". A smile spread across his face, as he arose to embrace his daughter, they stood that way for several moments, a mutual forgiving formed between them, Titania interrupted them with a cough,
"Gomen for interrupting, but this is not the place for reunions. The other two nodded, and followed the Vegeta-sei senshi towards the exit, "with your permission, my princess, he may be released to join me in Kami's place. Usagi gave a sound of approval, her arm strung in her fathers'. They made it too the opening, and Vegeta gave a gasp of surprise when the blinding light hit his eyes. He stopped in his tracks to look about him, Titania turned around, addressing them both,
"I know of your predicament my princess, I want to help, but there is nothing any of us can do, it is up to you." Usagi nodded,
"I can't train until the twins are born." A look of surprise caught the saiyajins' faces, "hai, Gohan and I were married yesterday, and Setsuna announced to chikyuu that I'm pregnant." Vegeta looked confused,
"Vegeta-san, remember when you declared a third-classer would destroy Freeza? Well the one she married is the son of that saiyajin." Another smile touched the former king's lips...
***
9 Months had passed quickly, in Usagi's arms lay two sleeping babies, both had violet eyes, beside the nursing mother, sat another one, Bulma, holding a baby girl,
"Her name will be....Bra...I always liked that name." Usagi smiled,
"That's a kawaii name, I already know who these two are...it's so handy that you have a hospital built into this building, ne?" Bulma giggled,
"Hai, good thing too, she came a lot faster than Trunks did," at the mention of his name, the little girl giggled and wrapped her tail tightly around Bulma's wrist, "I guess she already knows who her brother is, ne?" Usagi nodded in response, I got gold pendants made up for these little ones, with their names written on the fronts. By the way, where did the miari twins go off to?" They're with Miari Pan and Juuannagou, Juuhachi is building a nursery for their up coming baby, Krillen isn't much of a carpenter. Usagi laughed, the sound filled the hospital room.
Gohan walked into the room,
"How's my favorite girls?" He cooed in a ridiculous manner, the woman laughed,
"just fine, they just finished feeding",
"just finished?!? Good Kami! They're saiyajins' alright!" Gohan walked over to his wife and kneeled down to her level to tickle the babies. Little Bra had fallen asleep by this point,
"where about is Vegeta?" Bulma questioned,
"he's sparring with Tou-san", the women snorted, Usagi handed one of the babies to Gohan, "which one is this one?" He questioned, Usagi pointed to the tiny bracelet around the baby's wrist,
"This one will for sure be the tom-boy, it's Pan". Gohan made a goofy face at the infant, who immediately burst into giggles. "As soon as they're old enough to feed on regular milk, I'll have to start training, you know that." Gohan looked towards his wife for several moments,
"Hai, I know, I suppose you'll be using the Room of Spirit and Time, ne?" Usagi nodded,
"But not right now, let's go see what Chichi's cooking up, ne?" Bulma blushed in embarrassment,
"I don't know how you do it, Usagi-chan".
***
Usagi faced Titania that day, Chichi holding her twin girls, who were 2 months old by this point.
"I've decided to go into the chamber alone." Usagi stated, she turned around and faced the group, which consisted of the Sons and the Briefs. Vegeta crossed his arms,
"you shouldn't do that Brat, you'll get better training if you have a sparring partner",
"I have to agree with Vegeta", Gohan mumbled, Usagi shook her head defiantly,
"Iie, and Titania-san, leave me in there for two days." Gasps filled the area,
"that's crazy, Serenity-sama!" Titania bellowed, "I can't let you do that!" Usagi set a cold glare, and flared up her ki, she shot into the air, headed straight for heaven were Mr. Popo was waiting for her,
"Your Majesty", he bowed, as Usagi entered the Time Chamber, she closed her eyes as she heard the door slam shut behind her.
The room was no longer white, it was a deep blue, with stars strung about, and ruined pillars, she was home.
"My daughter", Usagi looked towards the approaching figure,
"you got here sooner than I thought, Kaa-sama." Her lavender-haired mother bowed slightly,
"Hai, I wanted to introduce you to your sparring partner, the Unicorn Queen Golden Heart", Usagi's eyes widened,
"Nani?? The Mythical Land Queen? I thought she only existed in fairy tales", Serenity nodded,
"And you are too my dear, she's been waiting for a very long time to meet you, she'll be updating your power level,I would suggest not being late." Usagi bowed,
"Arigatou, I will return soon", she faded out of sight and re appeared in another setting, this one was green and full of life. It looked like early summer, the sun crisp and golden, she looked around several times searching for the Queen. Then she saw her, her breathing stopped for several moments, the Queen was no unicorn at all, she was a tall brunette-haired woman with huge white wings. Usagi approached her cautiously,
"Are you Queen Golden Heart?" She voiced loudly, the figure turned around and faced the moon princess,
"I suppose you are Serenity, I've been waiting for you." Her voice was cold, but her face held an aged beauty, her eyes were a very deep brown, she was young, and yet wisdom held it's place. "I can see already that I don't like you very much." Usagi was taken aback at this comment,
"but I can live with you for now. I have a task for you to do for me before I can give you your new locket, I need you to go to the Western Territories, there lives the Swamp monsters, their queen, Black Storm is much like the foe you will face when you leave this Chamber." Usagi gasped,
"how did you know about that?" Golden Heart snorted,
"I am not a fool, I am wiser than you will ever be, you transported yourself from the Room of Spirit and Time." Usagi was silent for several moments,
"what is the task you have for me?" Golden Heart smirked,
"Do you remember the race of unicorns that lived on the moon?" Usagi shook her head,
"I do not recall, but I'm sure I'll end up remembering soon enough",
"well, since that attack which destroyed the kingdom, there was three pearl white horns left on the face of the moon, for some unknown reason Black Storm got a hold of them, we need them back if you plan on updating your power level because at this point you are not powerful enough to beat Thunder. Oh by the way, Black Storm is of the same species as Thunder." Usagi became extremely confused at this, but nodded her head in agreement,
"Alright Your Majesty, how abouts to I get there?"
***
Usagi had used the transformation pen to look alike the creatures she was ready to embark, long black hair a grey-scaled body, long pointy ears, clawed feet, bat-like wings and a tail with a point on the tip. She flew with great speed over the vast area of volcanoes and rugged mountains, the climate was quite warm and she saw many of the creatures who regarded her with puzzled looks. It was easy to spot the Queen's castle from afar, the tallest mountain in the area, she flew down to the bottom and looked for an entrance to sneak in. Several guards spotted her and yelled for her to go away, but Usagi was smarter than that, a trick she picked up from her father in law, she concentrated on a similar ki signature which Golden Heart had, disappeared from sight an reappeared in a dimly lit room.
The room was incredible, filled from wall to wall with golden jewels, and baubles of many colors. In the center on a stand made of silver there stood the three ivory horns, she approached them slowly, awed by their beauty, but something stopped her, a memory flooded into her mind, the unicorn she called "Silver Star Golden Moon" was one of her best friends, one of these horns' were hers.
Black Storm felt the girl's power, she knew Usagi was there, she was the oldest thing on the land, aside from the Golden Dragon. She headed silently up the hallway towards the treasure room,
"I know you're in their, and if you've come for the horns, you're going to have to get rid of me first." Black Storm prodded. Usagi spun around to see the tall black serpent-like creature face her.
"I am more than willing to comply, Lady Swampmonster", Black Storm gave a grunt of approval and awaited the princess' first move, Usagi charged with a ki blast, and several punches and kicks but Black Storm never budged from her spot. Usagi decided to transform into Eternal Sailor Moon, and launched her Therapy Kiss attack, but to no avail. "I wouldn't suppose that you're any relative of any sort to Thunder?" Black Storm laughed,
"the one who is reincarnated every few thousand years? You are right my dear, Thunder would be my daughter." Usagi's eyes widened in fear, she backed up slowly and rose her two fingers to her forehead, turned sharply about and grabbed the horns, she disappeared in a poof of white. Black Storm was taken aback by this interesting technique, "you are very stupid my dear", she spoke into the darkness, "Queen Golden Heart will hear from me very soon".
Usagi appeared in the same place she had started with. She looked around for the Queen, but to no avail. A small bird-like creature with antlers and hooved feet approached her,
"If yer lookin' fer her Majesty, she'd be in the Grey Lands". The creature spoke in a high-pitched accent. Usagi took a moment to study the creature before she headed off to the entrance of what the creature called, 'Grey Lands'. Once she entered, she regretted it, the place earned the name, there were several grave stones about the place, from afar she saw a shimmer of gold and silver. A unicorn, rather a winged unicorn stood there, pure white fur and a long spiraled horn of gold and silver, the tale and main the same color. The unicorn was a beauty of sorts, once it saw Usagi it flashed in a bright light and it formed the tall brunette woman wearing a long white gown.
"I'm a shape-shifter, it's a gift my species has. I see you retrieved the horns, Black Storm will be back to collect them soon, but don't worry I'll take care of her once and for all. Anyways, let's get your training started." Golden Heart held the horns at length to look at them, she placed them on the ground the tips touching each other, the tear-drop shaped crystal around her neck grew bright with a glow and the horns rose into the air, soon spirits connected with the horns, and whole white delicate unicorns stood in place. "This is why we're in the Grey Lands my dear, finally these spirits may rest." Usagi looked on with wonder, the youngest of the unicorns addressed Usagi in a cheerful nature,
"hello princess, long time no see, finally I can rest thanks to you my friend." Usagi looked at the figure, upon her head there was a silver star and golden moon, this was her friend from the Silver Millennium. "Do not fear me now, your memories will fully return soon enough. I have a gift for you, since you returned us here." Her ivory horn grew bright and in a flash a locket formed with the same design as on the unicorn's forehead. Usagi held the delicate chalice in her hands studying it's beauty. "Go ahead and try it, moon unicorn power is the transformation command." Usagi obeyed the unicorn, her outfit became the same as her original Sailor Moon fuku, except her brooch was different, Usagi looked up in confusion,
"it doesn't look more powerful to me", she questioned,
"Trust me princess, the outfit is the same, but your attacks are stronger ki based, you will have the access to the unicorn's powers, as well as dragons' as you will soon find out, this new transformation will make it easier for you, Queen Golden Heart will show you soon enough", and with that the three unicorns disappeared into thin air, and only the Queen and the princess were left. Usagi faced Golden Heart,
"Well, where do we begin?" Golden Heart smirked,
"With the basics."
A year soon passed and Usagi had learned new more powerful ki attacks, her speed and agility was much more improved. The unicorn queen faced Usagi silently,
"Kristine, I want to thank you for all you taught me", Usagi quietly said, the human name of the unicorn queen an easier name to speak, the two became good friends quickly, and each called each other by their earthly names.
"you're welcome Usagi, I trust Fire Starter Magic Maker will prove to be a good sparring partner for you." Usagi nodded, she had an appointment with the Grand Golden Dragon, the oldest and wisest creature in all the land, Usagi was looking forward to learning from this one.
"I promise I will return after I defeat Thunder, I have much more to learn of you."
"You may return when Vegeta-sei is fully regenerated, that way you can concentrate all of your energy into on task. I know Black Storm is going to retaliate, she's been after my crown for a long time, but with you as an ally she will not dare strike yet. Farewell Usagi". Usagi bowed towards the unicorn queen and with one last smile she disappeared from the queen's sight.
The new scenery was slightly different, she was by a small pond, in which there stood a huge Oak Tree, she heard heavy breathing, which mad her stand about face, a humongous golden dragon stood before her,
"I've been waiting for you" she spoke in a harsh whisper, if she was full volume she would blow Usagi into the next territory. The dragon glowed and shrunk to just above Usagi's level, the dragon was exquisitely beautiful, smoothly carved scales, huge golden wings, the dragon held out her clawed hand, inside lay a tear-drop shaped crystal, much the same as Golden Heart's except this one was connected to a pearl necklace. "For you my dear", her voice was normal now, "you are a chosen one, I trust Kristine has informed you?" Usagi nodded, "good, then put this on, it will protect you whenever you wear it, the pearls contain a magical powder which can be extracted from this tree, the powder will heal, but it's very strong, only use it if necessary. It is my job to make you a queen, so let's get started."
For the next few days Usagi stayed with the Lady Fire Starter Magic Maker, Usagi learned of her connection with this strange land, and made a promise to visit soon. F.S.M.M. performed the crowning ceremony, Usagi had finally become Queen Serenity, this was the Lady Dragon's duty, she was older than Usagi herself, and had lived through many queens. The Grand Lady wished Usagi well when she faded out of the green world back into the cold blue one, where as promised, the former Queen appeared to greet her daughter.
"You learned much, I hope, and I see you received the Sun-Diamond", she motioned towards the neclace, Usagi smiled and nodded,
"Hai, she tells me you also have a gift for me." Serenity nodded,
"that I do", she held out a white locket, with a silver 6-pointed star in-printed in the middle. "This is your new transformation, Sailor Cosmos, with this power you will become immortal." Usagi gasped,
"Nanda?? Immortal? Wow...so I will have an even chance against Thunder this time?" Serenity nodded,
"Yes, but we don't have much time, shall we begin your training?" Usagi nodded enthusiastically,
"For sure!"
****
Gohan held his girls in his arms while they slept, he was sitting in Kami's Palace, just near the time chamber. Vegeta had insisted they would be there when Usagi emerged, just incase there was anything wrong. It was almost time for her to come out, a couple of hours anyways. Bulma sat beside him, she was laying against the wall of the palace in a fast sleep, baby Bra asleep in her arms. The miari twins were off by themselves at Kami's lookout, Goku was busy sparring with Titania whom he had grown quite fond of by this time. Vegeta himself went to meet the former king of Vegeta-sei, the one who became a legendary super-saiyajin a thousand years hence. Titania had been quiet about it at first, but Vegeta knew there was something up. He had to travel along snake way to reach where the former king was currently staying. Vegeta insisted he would be back by the time Usagi would come out.
As promised Vegeta flew above the palace, and hovered towards the ground,
"has she come out yet?" He demanded from Gohan who shook his head in response, by this time Bulma stirred from her sleep,
"is she here yet?" She questioned, Vegeta looked sharply at her,
"Iie foolish woman, were you not listening?" She glared at him for a second, but was interrupted from gurgling noises coming from the infant in her arms.
The miari twins met up with the group a few moments after the questioning, and they stayed perfectly silent, soon Titania and Goku reached the spot as well. Titania looked towards the saiyajin prince,
"so you met him?" She questioned, receiving only a smirk in response. She crossed her arms defiantly and fell as silent as everyone else.
A rumbling noise interrupted the quietness all of a sudden, the saiyajins cried out in pain, a worrying Bulma looked helplessly at her crying baby,
"What's going on?" She demanded, the saiyajins only payed attention to the ear shattering pain.
The door of the hyperbolic time chamber bended from pressure, obviously from the inside, struggling to move everyone made their way towards the chamber, and watched in wonder as the doors continued to bend. In a loud crash the doors flung from their hold and a wave of silver energy filled the area, the saiyajins tightened their holds on their ears, trying to avoid the immense pressure. A silvery light slowly made it's way out of the room, there stood Usagi, blood-red eyes, long silver hair, her fuku was pure white, no longer had she the gloves, no longer boots, but high-heeled white shoes with wings coming out of the back. Her skirt was white, except for a piece of rainbow-colored fabric on the front, her forehead held a star-shaped mark instead of the crescent moon, in her hand she held a long staff with the brooch design sitting on a crystal ball, with wings spreading out. Gohan tried to walk towards her but she held out her staff towards him,
"STOP!" She ordered, "If you want to live, do not follow me", she swung her staff about and disappeared with a silver flash, the immense pressure disappeared with her.
"the final transformation", Chibi-usa mumbled, "she is immortal now". The others gasped, Chibi-usa motioned for Gohan , "you better come with us, to be there when the battle is done." Gohan nodded, and handed the babies to Titania,
"Gladly".
****
Usagi faced her apponant, Thunder stood still, a golden aurora flaring about her,
"I see you are finally ready to give me a good fight", she sneered, "do you know how long I've been waiting for this?" Usagi nodded,
"Hai, I was fully informed by Her Majesty, Queen Golden Heart", Thunder's eyes grew wide,
"HA! I should've known she'd get into this, have you met my mother yet? She is very powerful herself." Usagi nodded,
"I've met her", Thunder laughed lightly,
"She will destroy that land soon, and the unicorn queen, she will rule over that land soon." Usagi shook her head,
"I don't think so", she rushed towards the lizard-like creature, they went straight into physical combat, matching punch for punch and kick for kick, until Usagi sliced part of Thunder's face with the edge of the winged shoes. Thunder cursed loudly, she stopped moving for several moments until she removed the golden mask that hid half of her face. The hidden side was covered in scars, very ugly skin.
"Do you see what your ancestor did to me?!? Because of my beauty jealous others tried to destroy me, and because of that your ancestor turned me into THIS!" Thunder through the mask to the ground and lunged towards Usagi who quickly moved out of the way.
"So this is why you're after me?" Usagi wondered,
"that's right little girl, because you were predicted to be the most powerful there was, is and ever will be, so I waited thousands of years for you, and now I will DESTROY YOU!" Thunder struck Usagi hard in the stomach, blood flew out of the Queen's mouth, Thunder powered up a ki attack and launched it straight towards the Queen who was struck. Thunder began to laugh hysterically, "do you see? I can defeat you!" When the smoke cleared Thunder's eyes widened,
"How can this be?" Usagi smirked, almost unaffected by the blast,
"I'm immortal as the same as you, don't you see? It's no use for us to fight, neither of us can win".
"That's what you think!" Thunder launched a stronger ki attack, which still had barely any affect on Usagi, Thunder sank to her knees and cried out, "why can't I beat you? You caused me so much pain, you deserve nothing but death". Usagi shook her head and approached the creature,
"Iie, I do not, but if you were wrongly accused, let me heal you and you may return to where you started from." Thunder looked towards the Queen,
"I do not deserve such a gift, when I have caused so much evil." Usagi smiled,
"Nonsense". She declared, with her staff, she covered Thunder with a soft pink glow, the scars disappeared, her hair grew in length and her legs, tail and wings disappeared, a horse's body appeared in it's place. Usagi gasped at the sight, Thunder was incredibly beautiful centaur, soft brown eyes looked towards the Queen,
"What can I do to ever thank you?" She asked in a soft sweet voice. Usagi touched her staff on the forehead of the centaur and a crescent mark appeared,
"You can say high to my ancestor for me." Thunder smiled and bowed, "by the way, what is your name?" Usagi inquired, the centaur smiled,
"Chastity". With that Usagi swung her staff about and the beautiful centaur disappeared from sight. The miari twins ran towards the Queen out of breath, Gohan following closely behind, Usagi sensed them and flared to super-saiyajin, she turned about and held her staff out menacingly,
"STOP!" She ordered, the others halted,
"Usagi-chan! It's over now, you won!" Gohan panted, obviously out of breath,
"DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!" She insisted, and turned around heading towards the ruins of Crystal Tokyo Palace, there on the ground lay her future self, beside her husband's future self. She touched Serenity on the forehead when the glow left, the queen awoke and sat up. She looked at her counterpart, and stayed absolutely silent.
"Usagi?" She questioned, "Can it be me? I don't recognize the fuku." Usagi nodded slowly,
"hai, it is so." The miari twins ran towards their mother and flew into the exhausted queen's arms. They helped her up and using the silver crystal, she and Usagi joined powers and resurrected the planet's life. The future Gohan awoke with a start and stared open-mouthed at the younger Usagi. Usagi looked into her counterpart's eyes for several moments, she smiled, her ruby eyes flashing wildly, "say hi to Kristine for me", with that she turned around and left a confused Serenity behind.
Gohan stood silently watching his super-saiyajin wife walk slowly towards him. His eyes were empty at that moment, unsure of her current mental state. Usagi's eyes welled with tears, they returned to their sea-blue color, and her hair became golden, a smile touched her husband's lips, she rushed into his awaiting arms, the force knocking them over onto the ground,
"it is over now, finally, the horror is finished, let's go home!" He sighed with relief, as a silver light flashed around them and they teleported back to present time.
****
Usagi silently sat on the cool grass, looking up at the sunset slowly setting beneath the horizon. She missed having the moon in the sky, but because of the saiyajins they didn't want to risk going oozaru. In 9 years time Vegeta-sei would be fully restored, and she would be able to discover her heritage. She closed her eyes for a long time, what a life she had in the past couple of years, who would have known that going to a different school would have changed her life so much. She smiled, if her pencil hadn't rolled off the desk she and Gohan could have never officially meet, she wouldn't have the joy and happiness she felt right at that moment...and the love. At that thought she heard her husband's footsteps approaching, she waited until he situated himself next to her.
"they're asleep, finally" he mentioned, Usagi smiled,
"good, then we can have some time to ourselves for once." With that they fell into each other's embrace, murmuring sweet nothings into each other's ears,
Usagi giggled all of a sudden, "go ahead" she challenged, "take my breath away".
****Authors Note: Gomen, gomen! For not getting this out sooner, but because of LACK of reviews, I wasn't in any rush, after all it's exam time ~growls~, baka school....ok, here's the next part, review if you want a sequal, because if you don't, then I don't see the point of continuing.
Ja Ne!

Chibiusa and Pan landed on the familiar ground of Capsule Corporation. They went to the front of the building and knocked on the front door. Mrs. Briefs answered the door cheerfully, she gestured for the girls to enter, whom shook their heads in response.
"We're looking for Usagi and Gohan", Mrs. Briefs cheerily giggled,
"Oh, they're not here, I believe my daughter went with them to their home, I think". The girls eyed each other then nodded in thanks,
"Arigatou Briefs-san", Chibiusa replied, and the girls turned to go where no one could see them. Chibiusa waved around the time key and the miari girls were gone in a flash of pink light. Their destination...the senshi's realm.
Titania and the former king of Vegeta-sei quietly sat, unmoving, just enjoying each others' company. Titania noticed, with much amusement, that this Vegeta had fine hair, unlike the current Prince, soon to be crowned King. The widow's peak was very much the same, but the bangs fell over his eyes in a messy look, the hair was tied back, a pony tail which reached the bottom of his shoulder blades. His eyes were tightly shut at that moment, but they were the coal black ones, set in a permanent scowl. Titania herself was considered very beautiful. Not a common feature in saiyajin women. Her long unruly hair flowed to her thighs, her hair was parted off to the left of her head, long bangs came over her eyes.
A sudden pang of emotion shot through the saiyajin woman. Her eyes shot open, and she freed herself from her lovers' hold. To her dismay she heard Dende's soft voice calling for her it was time to leave. She turned around to look deep into Vegeta's eyes for the last time before her departure.
"Something's not right", she mumbled, he easily picked up what she said,
"What's that?" He questioned,
"I'm not quite sure, but it has to do with Her Majesty". He rose an eyebrow in question,
"Serenity?" Titania nodded, picked up her staff making her hair flare to gold.
"I must go now, but I will soon return, with Serenity-sama, your daughter." A cold shiver ran through the former king, it was his command that the small child be destroyed at first, but in mercy he allowed the lavender-haired queen to take the child with her, permitted if she removed the tail. He didn't know whether it was dread or joy that he felt when the child's name was mentioned, but his daughter would soon come for him, and bring him out of HFIL, into the heavens to be with Titania. The saiyajin woman bid her farewell, struggling to keep from bursting into tears she left the underworld to investigate the new trouble in which she could feel.
Thunder chuckled to herself.
"How could the queen be so foolish?" She mused, "she should've known I was more powerful than to be defeated by that one blast. She will pay". Thunder looked around at her surroundings, ruins. That was what it was, total ruins. It had been quite fun to watch as the princess's returned to their home, horrified at what it was now. Thunder tightened her fist, "one year, and then you're mine, Serenity".
Usagi's eyes widened in horror at the tale the two girls told her. A sudden rage filled her mind and she unconsciously flared to a super saiyajin. The others in the room gasped at the sight, the senshi held their heads in pain when the immense power filled everything in it's path. Usagi noticed every one else, and returned to normal, mumbling apologies.
"In one year....I should start training soon, but after..." She cut herself off, when the cold realization hit her. She slapped herself in the head at the thought, *why hadn't I noticed it before?* she challenged herself. Setsuna answered everyone else's wonderment with two simple words,
"Hai, pregnant". Usagi looked up at the senshi, hearing everyone else gasp, and Chichi shooting dirty looks towards an embarrassed Gohan.
"Arigatou for informing everyone" Usagi sarcastically shot towards the Pluto princess. A red color found itself spreading across Puu's face.
"Gomen, but you'll have to wait until the twins are born, before you can have any serious training." Usagi nodded, indeed her life was full of events, saving the world, getting married, having babies, saving the world again. The wedding was set within the next week, indeed she would be busy, indeed...
Usagi looked at herself in the mirror. Clad in a long white gown with white roses in her hair she was ready to officially give herself to the man she loved. She used to have dreams about marrying Mamoru, back when they were together, but she was thinking to herself about her new choice. I love him, very much so. She thought to herself, this was true love, and from what she learned of Thunder's purpose, she and Gohan were set up even before she was born.
She heard the door open suddenly, a cool breeze sifted through the opening from the open temple doors, Usagi turned her head slightly to see the saiyajin prince standing there. He too was dressed, much to his disliking, but he could not resist saying no to the princess.
"What did you send me for, Brat?"
"Why do you insist on calling me that?"
"Because that's what you are, so tell me what you want already, that damned woman forced me into wearing this ridiculous thing, that you commanded, so what else do you want?" His tone was harsh as usual, but it still held that same softness that he gave towards her.
"I want you to walk me down the aisle, or rather the pathway", they had decided an outdoor wedding would be the best.
"Why would you want me to do a fool thing like that?"
"Because...because it's supposed to be that way, only the father hands the daughter away, but you're the closest thing I have as a father." Vegeta's expression softened,
"Fine, but it wasn't my idea".
The senshi gathered in the Cherry Hill Temple for the reception, the two new wedded couples, Usagi, Gohan, Pan and Juuannagou were situated at the head table. Vegeta insisted he would not attend, to Usagi's dismay, by her request he had walked her down the aisle, or rather the cobblestone pathway in the park, an outdoor event, he was silent through the whole ceremony, although he did nod towards Gohan, and "handed" his kin over, his expression remained in a cold scowl, but Usagi could tell he was full of pride, the two had quite a strong relationship established, she had placed him on a pedestal, as a father figure, as she never knew her father on the moon. Usagi's earthly parents had attended the ceremony, they had met Gohan a few days before, and became quite flustered at the tales in which Usagi had told them, but they quickly understood, besides, both of them preferred Gohan over her past beaux, in which they had not seen for quite some time.
The ceremony consisted of lots of flowers, by the princess' request, Chichi and Bulma both assisted in the making of the bride's gowns, Pan kept silent most of the time, but they had her looking like a royal, in which she was.
Everyone was recalling the day's events and gave their best towards the newly weds. Rei and Miari Trunks had made it out for the wedding, using the communicators Usagi and the senshi received for the princess' first trip into the new dimension. A small baby was situated in the new mother's arms, time had passed faster in the future dimension. The child was a little girl, she already had signs of wild black hair, she had big violet eyes, and a fuzzy brown tail. Deciding the name wasn't too difficult, Miari Bulma had picked out the best one, as it took quite a while to decide. Her name, was "Hope", the future dimension was quite improved since the fire senshi had moved there, already large cities were rebuilt, and small villages showed new life. Rei and Miari Trunks were quite the celebrities, their new baby was quite the news, and many people had sent gifts.
"My best wishes to the brides and grooms, as you embark on a new life..." Several groans rose in the air, the same message had been repeated several times, no one could think of anything original to say, but the groans were followed immediately by laughter. It was Bulma's turn to give her blessings, she stood up and looked around briefly to try and catch a glimpse of her missing mate, she frowned but dismissed the thought quickly and faced the head table.
"What can I say? I could repeat the same speech, but I'm sure you're all tired of that. Usagi, I'll start with you, since you first came into Capsule Corporation, I knew there was something special about you, especially with Vegeta's reaction..."laughter filled the room at the remembrance of the event, "...but there was that air about you, and as soon as you became part of us, I thought of you like a daughter..." Usagi blushed at this and bowed her head lightly, "...and now I see you've married the little mischievous boy, who reminds me so much of his father, so what can I say? I love you so much now, and it grows from day to day, as you become more and more like a daughter that I never had..." She faded at this, a blush crept across her face,
"Until now", several gasps rose in the air, Usagi stood and made her way towards the aqua-haired woman, and hugged her,
"I know what you're up too, Bulma-san, hai, it is a little girl", more gasps rose into the air, "this is a baby-boom, ne?" Bulma turned to re-address the others,
"I am pregnant, for a few weeks now." Cheers rose up from everyone.
It was about 2 in the morning before everyone retired to their rooms, Usagi was the only one left up, she was waiting for one particular person to return, she was quite fatigued by the days' events, but she refused to go to bed. A shadow appeared behind her, she could hear soft foot prints going through the grass, she turned around and faced the half-dressed saiyajin prince. Vegeta was extremely silent.
"The woman opened her big mouth didn't she?" He demanded, Usagi gave a nod, receiving a snort in response. "I knew it was going to be a girl-brat right away", again Usagi nodded. "And it's all your fault", his voice became quieter, "you had to do it didn't you?"
"Iie, Veggie-chan, it's your fault too, when you kissed me on the crescent mark during the fight with Thunder, the touch purified your heart...but you're still an arrogant asshole." The prince snorted again, a slight smile touched his lips,
"Maybe so, Brat, but I still blame it on you".
"Don't be so upset about it, Veggie-chan, I know you're proud about the new addition to the family, and I know how much you love her." He stared at her for several moments in silence,
"Hai, Brat, I know I do too, I just don't tell anyone, it's not the saiyajin way." Usagi shook her head,
"Neither is bonding, for royalty that is." He nodded his head in agreement,
"I know, I know". She gave a small smile, he smirked in response, as he turned around and headed inside. Usagi, finally satisfied followed suit, and went inside...
Rei, Trunks and Hope left early that morning, the sailor senshi bid fairwell to the z senshi, as well as Usagi as they made their way back to their own dimension. Once they re-appeared on the Capsule Corp. grounds, Titania stood awaiting to speak with the Princess. Usagi looked at her questioningly,
"Nanda, Titania? Why are you here?"
"Gomen for this intrusion, but I would like it if you came with me."
Usagi looked towards the others, and turned towards Titania, they hovered into the air, and took off towards heaven.
Titania led Usagi into the opening into the underworld, where they made their way through the thick dense fog,
"where are you taking me, exactly?" Usagi questioned,
"It is time you met your father, Serenity-sama", Usagi's blood began to heat up,
"my father?" Titania nodded, he and I are old acquaintances...Titania recalled her past outloud for the princess to learn, by the end of the tale, Usagi's face was pale, she became nervous to the thought of meeting her blood-father.
Soon enough they made it to where the former King sat quietly, as soon as he layed eyes on the odango-haired woman he too became pale. Usagi looked towards him with hurt in her eyes, she rose her eyebrows, Titania remained silent.
"Otou-sama?" She questioned.
"I do not deserve such a title in which I almost caused your death, princess". She smiled and shook her head,
"I find no fault in you, my King, I only desire to learn of you". A smile spread across his face, as he arose to embrace his daughter, they stood that way for several moments, a mutual forgiving formed between them, Titania interrupted them with a cough,
"Gomen for interrupting, but this is not the place for reunions. The other two nodded, and followed the Vegeta-sei senshi towards the exit, "with your permission, my princess, he may be released to join me in Kami's place. Usagi gave a sound of approval, her arm strung in her fathers'. They made it too the opening, and Vegeta gave a gasp of surprise when the blinding light hit his eyes. He stopped in his tracks to look about him, Titania turned around, addressing them both,
"I know of your predicament my princess, I want to help, but there is nothing any of us can do, it is up to you." Usagi nodded,
"I can't train until the twins are born." A look of surprise caught the saiyajins' faces, "hai, Gohan and I were married yesterday, and Setsuna announced to chikyuu that I'm pregnant." Vegeta looked confused,
"Vegeta-san, remember when you declared a third-classer would destroy Freeza? Well the one she married is the son of that saiyajin." Another smile touched the former king's lips...
***
9 Months had passed quickly, in Usagi's arms lay two sleeping babies, both had violet eyes, beside the nursing mother, sat another one, Bulma, holding a baby girl,
"Her name will be....Bra...I always liked that name." Usagi smiled,
"That's a kawaii name, I already know who these two are...it's so handy that you have a hospital built into this building, ne?" Bulma giggled,
"Hai, good thing too, she came a lot faster than Trunks did," at the mention of his name, the little girl giggled and wrapped her tail tightly around Bulma's wrist, "I guess she already knows who her brother is, ne?" Usagi nodded in response, I got gold pendants made up for these little ones, with their names written on the fronts. By the way, where did the miari twins go off to?" They're with Miari Pan and Juuannagou, Juuhachi is building a nursery for their up coming baby, Krillen isn't much of a carpenter. Usagi laughed, the sound filled the hospital room.
Gohan walked into the room,
"How's my favorite girls?" He cooed in a ridiculous manner, the woman laughed,
"just fine, they just finished feeding",
"just finished?!? Good Kami! They're saiyajins' alright!" Gohan walked over to his wife and kneeled down to her level to tickle the babies. Little Bra had fallen asleep by this point,
"where about is Vegeta?" Bulma questioned,
"he's sparring with Tou-san", the women snorted, Usagi handed one of the babies to Gohan, "which one is this one?" He questioned, Usagi pointed to the tiny bracelet around the baby's wrist,
"This one will for sure be the tom-boy, it's Pan". Gohan made a goofy face at the infant, who immediately burst into giggles. "As soon as they're old enough to feed on regular milk, I'll have to start training, you know that." Gohan looked towards his wife for several moments,
"Hai, I know, I suppose you'll be using the Room of Spirit and Time, ne?" Usagi nodded,
"But not right now, let's go see what Chichi's cooking up, ne?" Bulma blushed in embarrassment,
"I don't know how you do it, Usagi-chan".
***
Usagi faced Titania that day, Chichi holding her twin girls, who were 2 months old by this point.
"I've decided to go into the chamber alone." Usagi stated, she turned around and faced the group, which consisted of the Sons and the Briefs. Vegeta crossed his arms,
"you shouldn't do that Brat, you'll get better training if you have a sparring partner",
"I have to agree with Vegeta", Gohan mumbled, Usagi shook her head defiantly,
"Iie, and Titania-san, leave me in there for two days." Gasps filled the area,
"that's crazy, Serenity-sama!" Titania bellowed, "I can't let you do that!" Usagi set a cold glare, and flared up her ki, she shot into the air, headed straight for heaven were Mr. Popo was waiting for her,
"Your Majesty", he bowed, as Usagi entered the Time Chamber, she closed her eyes as she heard the door slam shut behind her.
The room was no longer white, it was a deep blue, with stars strung about, and ruined pillars, she was home.
"My daughter", Usagi looked towards the approaching figure,
"you got here sooner than I thought, Kaa-sama." Her lavender-haired mother bowed slightly,
"Hai, I wanted to introduce you to your sparring partner, the Unicorn Queen Golden Heart", Usagi's eyes widened,
"Nani?? The Mythical Land Queen? I thought she only existed in fairy tales", Serenity nodded,
"And you are too my dear, she's been waiting for a very long time to meet you, she'll be updating your power level,I would suggest not being late." Usagi bowed,
"Arigatou, I will return soon", she faded out of sight and re appeared in another setting, this one was green and full of life. It looked like early summer, the sun crisp and golden, she looked around several times searching for the Queen. Then she saw her, her breathing stopped for several moments, the Queen was no unicorn at all, she was a tall brunette-haired woman with huge white wings. Usagi approached her cautiously,
"Are you Queen Golden Heart?" She voiced loudly, the figure turned around and faced the moon princess,
"I suppose you are Serenity, I've been waiting for you." Her voice was cold, but her face held an aged beauty, her eyes were a very deep brown, she was young, and yet wisdom held it's place. "I can see already that I don't like you very much." Usagi was taken aback at this comment,
"but I can live with you for now. I have a task for you to do for me before I can give you your new locket, I need you to go to the Western Territories, there lives the Swamp monsters, their queen, Black Storm is much like the foe you will face when you leave this Chamber." Usagi gasped,
"how did you know about that?" Golden Heart snorted,
"I am not a fool, I am wiser than you will ever be, you transported yourself from the Room of Spirit and Time." Usagi was silent for several moments,
"what is the task you have for me?" Golden Heart smirked,
"Do you remember the race of unicorns that lived on the moon?" Usagi shook her head,
"I do not recall, but I'm sure I'll end up remembering soon enough",
"well, since that attack which destroyed the kingdom, there was three pearl white horns left on the face of the moon, for some unknown reason Black Storm got a hold of them, we need them back if you plan on updating your power level because at this point you are not powerful enough to beat Thunder. Oh by the way, Black Storm is of the same species as Thunder." Usagi became extremely confused at this, but nodded her head in agreement,
"Alright Your Majesty, how abouts to I get there?"
***
Usagi had used the transformation pen to look alike the creatures she was ready to embark, long black hair a grey-scaled body, long pointy ears, clawed feet, bat-like wings and a tail with a point on the tip. She flew with great speed over the vast area of volcanoes and rugged mountains, the climate was quite warm and she saw many of the creatures who regarded her with puzzled looks. It was easy to spot the Queen's castle from afar, the tallest mountain in the area, she flew down to the bottom and looked for an entrance to sneak in. Several guards spotted her and yelled for her to go away, but Usagi was smarter than that, a trick she picked up from her father in law, she concentrated on a similar ki signature which Golden Heart had, disappeared from sight an reappeared in a dimly lit room.
The room was incredible, filled from wall to wall with golden jewels, and baubles of many colors. In the center on a stand made of silver there stood the three ivory horns, she approached them slowly, awed by their beauty, but something stopped her, a memory flooded into her mind, the unicorn she called "Silver Star Golden Moon" was one of her best friends, one of these horns' were hers.
Black Storm felt the girl's power, she knew Usagi was there, she was the oldest thing on the land, aside from the Golden Dragon. She headed silently up the hallway towards the treasure room,
"I know you're in their, and if you've come for the horns, you're going to have to get rid of me first." Black Storm prodded. Usagi spun around to see the tall black serpent-like creature face her.
"I am more than willing to comply, Lady Swampmonster", Black Storm gave a grunt of approval and awaited the princess' first move, Usagi charged with a ki blast, and several punches and kicks but Black Storm never budged from her spot. Usagi decided to transform into Eternal Sailor Moon, and launched her Therapy Kiss attack, but to no avail. "I wouldn't suppose that you're any relative of any sort to Thunder?" Black Storm laughed,
"the one who is reincarnated every few thousand years? You are right my dear, Thunder would be my daughter." Usagi's eyes widened in fear, she backed up slowly and rose her two fingers to her forehead, turned sharply about and grabbed the horns, she disappeared in a poof of white. Black Storm was taken aback by this interesting technique, "you are very stupid my dear", she spoke into the darkness, "Queen Golden Heart will hear from me very soon".
Usagi appeared in the same place she had started with. She looked around for the Queen, but to no avail. A small bird-like creature with antlers and hooved feet approached her,
"If yer lookin' fer her Majesty, she'd be in the Grey Lands". The creature spoke in a high-pitched accent. Usagi took a moment to study the creature before she headed off to the entrance of what the creature called, 'Grey Lands'. Once she entered, she regretted it, the place earned the name, there were several grave stones about the place, from afar she saw a shimmer of gold and silver. A unicorn, rather a winged unicorn stood there, pure white fur and a long spiraled horn of gold and silver, the tale and main the same color. The unicorn was a beauty of sorts, once it saw Usagi it flashed in a bright light and it formed the tall brunette woman wearing a long white gown.
"I'm a shape-shifter, it's a gift my species has. I see you retrieved the horns, Black Storm will be back to collect them soon, but don't worry I'll take care of her once and for all. Anyways, let's get your training started." Golden Heart held the horns at length to look at them, she placed them on the ground the tips touching each other, the tear-drop shaped crystal around her neck grew bright with a glow and the horns rose into the air, soon spirits connected with the horns, and whole white delicate unicorns stood in place. "This is why we're in the Grey Lands my dear, finally these spirits may rest." Usagi looked on with wonder, the youngest of the unicorns addressed Usagi in a cheerful nature,
"hello princess, long time no see, finally I can rest thanks to you my friend." Usagi looked at the figure, upon her head there was a silver star and golden moon, this was her friend from the Silver Millennium. "Do not fear me now, your memories will fully return soon enough. I have a gift for you, since you returned us here." Her ivory horn grew bright and in a flash a locket formed with the same design as on the unicorn's forehead. Usagi held the delicate chalice in her hands studying it's beauty. "Go ahead and try it, moon unicorn power is the transformation command." Usagi obeyed the unicorn, her outfit became the same as her original Sailor Moon fuku, except her brooch was different, Usagi looked up in confusion,
"it doesn't look more powerful to me", she questioned,
"Trust me princess, the outfit is the same, but your attacks are stronger ki based, you will have the access to the unicorn's powers, as well as dragons' as you will soon find out, this new transformation will make it easier for you, Queen Golden Heart will show you soon enough", and with that the three unicorns disappeared into thin air, and only the Queen and the princess were left. Usagi faced Golden Heart,
"Well, where do we begin?" Golden Heart smirked,
"With the basics."
A year soon passed and Usagi had learned new more powerful ki attacks, her speed and agility was much more improved. The unicorn queen faced Usagi silently,
"Kristine, I want to thank you for all you taught me", Usagi quietly said, the human name of the unicorn queen an easier name to speak, the two became good friends quickly, and each called each other by their earthly names.
"you're welcome Usagi, I trust Fire Starter Magic Maker will prove to be a good sparring partner for you." Usagi nodded, she had an appointment with the Grand Golden Dragon, the oldest and wisest creature in all the land, Usagi was looking forward to learning from this one.
"I promise I will return after I defeat Thunder, I have much more to learn of you."
"You may return when Vegeta-sei is fully regenerated, that way you can concentrate all of your energy into on task. I know Black Storm is going to retaliate, she's been after my crown for a long time, but with you as an ally she will not dare strike yet. Farewell Usagi". Usagi bowed towards the unicorn queen and with one last smile she disappeared from the queen's sight.
The new scenery was slightly different, she was by a small pond, in which there stood a huge Oak Tree, she heard heavy breathing, which mad her stand about face, a humongous golden dragon stood before her,
"I've been waiting for you" she spoke in a harsh whisper, if she was full volume she would blow Usagi into the next territory. The dragon glowed and shrunk to just above Usagi's level, the dragon was exquisitely beautiful, smoothly carved scales, huge golden wings, the dragon held out her clawed hand, inside lay a tear-drop shaped crystal, much the same as Golden Heart's except this one was connected to a pearl necklace. "For you my dear", her voice was normal now, "you are a chosen one, I trust Kristine has informed you?" Usagi nodded, "good, then put this on, it will protect you whenever you wear it, the pearls contain a magical powder which can be extracted from this tree, the powder will heal, but it's very strong, only use it if necessary. It is my job to make you a queen, so let's get started."
For the next few days Usagi stayed with the Lady Fire Starter Magic Maker, Usagi learned of her connection with this strange land, and made a promise to visit soon. F.S.M.M. performed the crowning ceremony, Usagi had finally become Queen Serenity, this was the Lady Dragon's duty, she was older than Usagi herself, and had lived through many queens. The Grand Lady wished Usagi well when she faded out of the green world back into the cold blue one, where as promised, the former Queen appeared to greet her daughter.
"You learned much, I hope, and I see you received the Sun-Diamond", she motioned towards the neclace, Usagi smiled and nodded,
"Hai, she tells me you also have a gift for me." Serenity nodded,
"that I do", she held out a white locket, with a silver 6-pointed star in-printed in the middle. "This is your new transformation, Sailor Cosmos, with this power you will become immortal." Usagi gasped,
"Nanda?? Immortal? Wow...so I will have an even chance against Thunder this time?" Serenity nodded,
"Yes, but we don't have much time, shall we begin your training?" Usagi nodded enthusiastically,
"For sure!"
****
Gohan held his girls in his arms while they slept, he was sitting in Kami's Palace, just near the time chamber. Vegeta had insisted they would be there when Usagi emerged, just incase there was anything wrong. It was almost time for her to come out, a couple of hours anyways. Bulma sat beside him, she was laying against the wall of the palace in a fast sleep, baby Bra asleep in her arms. The miari twins were off by themselves at Kami's lookout, Goku was busy sparring with Titania whom he had grown quite fond of by this time. Vegeta himself went to meet the former king of Vegeta-sei, the one who became a legendary super-saiyajin a thousand years hence. Titania had been quiet about it at first, but Vegeta knew there was something up. He had to travel along snake way to reach where the former king was currently staying. Vegeta insisted he would be back by the time Usagi would come out.
As promised Vegeta flew above the palace, and hovered towards the ground,
"has she come out yet?" He demanded from Gohan who shook his head in response, by this time Bulma stirred from her sleep,
"is she here yet?" She questioned, Vegeta looked sharply at her,
"Iie foolish woman, were you not listening?" She glared at him for a second, but was interrupted from gurgling noises coming from the infant in her arms.
The miari twins met up with the group a few moments after the questioning, and they stayed perfectly silent, soon Titania and Goku reached the spot as well. Titania looked towards the saiyajin prince,
"so you met him?" She questioned, receiving only a smirk in response. She crossed her arms defiantly and fell as silent as everyone else.
A rumbling noise interrupted the quietness all of a sudden, the saiyajins cried out in pain, a worrying Bulma looked helplessly at her crying baby,
"What's going on?" She demanded, the saiyajins only payed attention to the ear shattering pain.
The door of the hyperbolic time chamber bended from pressure, obviously from the inside, struggling to move everyone made their way towards the chamber, and watched in wonder as the doors continued to bend. In a loud crash the doors flung from their hold and a wave of silver energy filled the area, the saiyajins tightened their holds on their ears, trying to avoid the immense pressure. A silvery light slowly made it's way out of the room, there stood Usagi, blood-red eyes, long silver hair, her fuku was pure white, no longer had she the gloves, no longer boots, but high-heeled white shoes with wings coming out of the back. Her skirt was white, except for a piece of rainbow-colored fabric on the front, her forehead held a star-shaped mark instead of the crescent moon, in her hand she held a long staff with the brooch design sitting on a crystal ball, with wings spreading out. Gohan tried to walk towards her but she held out her staff towards him,
"STOP!" She ordered, "If you want to live, do not follow me", she swung her staff about and disappeared with a silver flash, the immense pressure disappeared with her.
"the final transformation", Chibi-usa mumbled, "she is immortal now". The others gasped, Chibi-usa motioned for Gohan , "you better come with us, to be there when the battle is done." Gohan nodded, and handed the babies to Titania,
"Gladly".

Usagi faced her apponant, Thunder stood still, a golden aurora flaring about her,
"I see you are finally ready to give me a good fight", she sneered, "do you know how long I've been waiting for this?" Usagi nodded,
"Hai, I was fully informed by Her Majesty, Queen Golden Heart", Thunder's eyes grew wide,
"HA! I should've known she'd get into this, have you met my mother yet? She is very powerful herself." Usagi nodded,
"I've met her", Thunder laughed lightly,
"She will destroy that land soon, and the unicorn queen, she will rule over that land soon." Usagi shook her head,
"I don't think so", she rushed towards the lizard-like creature, they went straight into physical combat, matching punch for punch and kick for kick, until Usagi sliced part of Thunder's face with the edge of the winged shoes. Thunder cursed loudly, she stopped moving for several moments until she removed the golden mask that hid half of her face. The hidden side was covered in scars, very ugly skin.
"Do you see what your ancestor did to me?!? Because of my beauty jealous others tried to destroy me, and because of that your ancestor turned me into THIS!" Thunder through the mask to the ground and lunged towards Usagi who quickly moved out of the way.
"So this is why you're after me?" Usagi wondered,
"that's right little girl, because you were predicted to be the most powerful there was, is and ever will be, so I waited thousands of years for you, and now I will DESTROY YOU!" Thunder struck Usagi hard in the stomach, blood flew out of the Queen's mouth, Thunder powered up a ki attack and launched it straight towards the Queen who was struck. Thunder began to laugh hysterically, "do you see? I can defeat you!" When the smoke cleared Thunder's eyes widened,
"How can this be?" Usagi smirked, almost unaffected by the blast,
"I'm immortal as the same as you, don't you see? It's no use for us to fight, neither of us can win".
"That's what you think!" Thunder launched a stronger ki attack, which still had barely any affect on Usagi, Thunder sank to her knees and cried out, "why can't I beat you? You caused me so much pain, you deserve nothing but death". Usagi shook her head and approached the creature,
"Iie, I do not, but if you were wrongly accused, let me heal you and you may return to where you started from." Thunder looked towards the Queen,
"I do not deserve such a gift, when I have caused so much evil." Usagi smiled,
"Nonsense". She declared, with her staff, she covered Thunder with a soft pink glow, the scars disappeared, her hair grew in length and her legs, tail and wings disappeared, a horse's body appeared in it's place. Usagi gasped at the sight, Thunder was incredibly beautiful centaur, soft brown eyes looked towards the Queen,
"What can I do to ever thank you?" She asked in a soft sweet voice. Usagi touched her staff on the forehead of the centaur and a crescent mark appeared,
"You can say high to my ancestor for me." Thunder smiled and bowed, "by the way, what is your name?" Usagi inquired, the centaur smiled,
"Chastity". With that Usagi swung her staff about and the beautiful centaur disappeared from sight. The miari twins ran towards the Queen out of breath, Gohan following closely behind, Usagi sensed them and flared to super-saiyajin, she turned about and held her staff out menacingly,
"STOP!" She ordered, the others halted,
"Usagi-chan! It's over now, you won!" Gohan panted, obviously out of breath,
"DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!" She insisted, and turned around heading towards the ruins of Crystal Tokyo Palace, there on the ground lay her future self, beside her husband's future self. She touched Serenity on the forehead when the glow left, the queen awoke and sat up. She looked at her counterpart, and stayed absolutely silent.
"Usagi?" She questioned, "Can it be me? I don't recognize the fuku." Usagi nodded slowly,
"hai, it is so." The miari twins ran towards their mother and flew into the exhausted queen's arms. They helped her up and using the silver crystal, she and Usagi joined powers and resurrected the planet's life. The future Gohan awoke with a start and stared open-mouthed at the younger Usagi. Usagi looked into her counterpart's eyes for several moments, she smiled, her ruby eyes flashing wildly, "say hi to Kristine for me", with that she turned around and left a confused Serenity behind.
Gohan stood silently watching his super-saiyajin wife walk slowly towards him. His eyes were empty at that moment, unsure of her current mental state. Usagi's eyes welled with tears, they returned to their sea-blue color, and her hair became golden, a smile touched her husband's lips, she rushed into his awaiting arms, the force knocking them over onto the ground,
"it is over now, finally, the horror is finished, let's go home!" He sighed with relief, as a silver light flashed around them and they teleported back to present time.

Usagi silently sat on the cool grass, looking up at the sunset slowly setting beneath the horizon. She missed having the moon in the sky, but because of the saiyajins they didn't want to risk going oozaru. In 9 years time Vegeta-sei would be fully restored, and she would be able to discover her heritage. She closed her eyes for a long time, what a life she had in the past couple of years, who would have known that going to a different school would have changed her life so much. She smiled, if her pencil hadn't rolled off the desk she and Gohan could have never officially meet, she wouldn't have the joy and happiness she felt right at that moment...and the love. At that thought she heard her husband's footsteps approaching, she waited until he situated himself next to her.
"they're asleep, finally" he mentioned, Usagi smiled,
"good, then we can have some time to ourselves for once." With that they fell into each other's embrace, murmuring sweet nothings into each other's ears,
Usagi giggled all of a sudden, "go ahead" she challenged, "take my breath away".
