~Miko-chan (aka Haruka, Ruka, Ruka-chan, Mikomi, etc.)
Makoto walked down the street towards the Hikawa shrine. She knew that the girls were having a sleepover with Rei and she needed to convince them to go along with the Outers plans. The inners would be pieces of the game to fool Kiwikiwa without them knowing it. Makoto was now a part of the Outers. They adopted her as an outer because she matured through the events that had been taking place. As she walked down the street, she was thinking back through the day's events.Makoto sniffed and looked up. She found herself in front of the shrine. Her plan, to be there when Kiwikiwa attacked again. She walked up the steps and knocks on the door. **On Saturn** "Grr…those pesky outer senshi and friends are getting on my last nerve!" Kiwikiwa yelled to no one in particular. She was planning her next move. She was going to attack and soon, but she had to figure out how to kill the damn senshi. "With Prism working on their side along with Nevlin, it'll be tough" Kiwikiwa thought aloud, "time to move though." She said, teleporting to Earth. ::KNOCK KNOCK:: All of the girls turned around towards the door and looked puzzled. "Now who could that be?" Rei asked. "I don't know, go open it and find out." Ami said. Usagi and Minako just watched as Rei opened the door. Four mouths dropped open in shock. "MAKO-CHAN!" Usagi screamed, throwing herself onto the tall brunette. "Konbanwa Usagi-chan." Makoto said, forcing a smile. Everyone came up to her and gave her a hug. "Where have you been?" Rei asked, concern showing in her eyes. "Around…" Makoto replied. "Well, no matter" Ami said. "you're back and that's all that matters." "The outers didn't do anything to you did they?" Minako asked. Silence filled the room. Makoto looked to the floor. "No, they didn't. The helped me out a little." "Oh. Alright." Usagi said. Makoto looked at Usagi. Memories of earlier flashed before her eyes. Neo-Queen Serenity and Prism. They looked so alike. Tears started welling up in Makoto's eyes. She turned her head to the side to avoid everyone's glances. Ami put a hand on Makoto's shoulder. "It's ok, you don't have to explain anything. We'll be here for you though." Makoto glanced at Ami. She's so quiet, yet when you least expect it, she tells the truth, like she can read your mind. It scares Makoto, yet comforts her at the same time. "Arigatou, Ami." She said wiping her eyes. Prism glanced out the window. She had been looking out it for most of the evening. Nevlin stood in the corner, watching her. He knew what she was thinking, without having to read her mind. He walked up to her and gave her a warm hug. "Don't think about it. You'll just stress yourself and worry everyone else." Nevlin said holding her closer. She leaned back against him and sighed. "I can't *STOP* thinking about it. I know I'll be reborn, but I don't want to leave you guys." She closed her eyes and her breathing slowed. "Try and rest Prism. We've had a long day." Nevlin said, sitting in the window and letting her rest in his arms. Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna stood in the doorway to the living room. They were watching the pair fall asleep in the window. Michiru snuggled up to Haruka. "Nevlin's right" Setsuna said, "It has been a long day. Let's leave them and get ourselves to bed." Haruka and Michiru turned and went to their room. Setsuna watched Nevlin and Prism. She and turned. She knew the future would bring good times for those two. The sun shone brightly into the shrine. Makoto stood and walked outside. She sat down on the porch and breathed in deeply, closing her eyes, letting the sun warm her face. She didn't get much sleep last night. Her dreams were keeping her up. She sighed and looked into the city. "You know you can tell me anything Mako-chan." Makoto jumped and turned around. It was Usagi standing behind her. "Don't worry, everyone's still asleep." Usagi's face showed concern and an expression Makoto had never seen. She looked like her future self. Makoto felt tears sliding down her cheeks. "Usagi, I…" She couldn't finish it. She just couldn't say anything. "Shh…It's ok. I'm here for you." Usagi comforted her. "Promise you'll never leave us. No matter what." Makoto sobbed. "I'd never dream of leaving you. Why would I leave you!?" "It's just, everytime I get close to people they leave." Makoto said. "Who's left you?" "You're mother was the first, and now, now…Prism might have to also. Usagi I saw your future self last night, and Prism might have to use the crystal to destroy Kiwikiwa…" Makoto looked up in surprise. She had let things slip. Usagi just stared at her with mature loving eyes. "Don't worry Mako-chan, I won't tell anyone you're plans." Usagi comforted. "We need your guy's help. We need you to…" "I know Makoto. I'll get them to do it without revealing the plan." "How'd you know?" "You *DID* talk to me last night remember? I have ways of knowing what my future self is doing. After all, we are the same person." Makoto nodded. Usagi hugged her and stood up, "Now, shall we get breakfast?" Makoto chuckled; yep Usagi was definitely back, hungry as always. Kiwikiwa stood atop a building in the shopping center. *How to get them here* she thought to herself, *OF COURSE! MAKE TROUBLE! * She smiled wickedly and let a blast of energy hit the center of the street. Passerby's ran from the shops screaming. *Won't be long. * She smiled with an evil spark in her eyes. Haruka and Michiru were driving by when they saw Kiwikiwa attacking. They both nodded and transformed, flipping open their communicators and calling the others. "Mako, now is the time, you need to get them here fast! We need the distraction!" "Hai Uranus, I'm on the way." Makoto said closing her comm. She turned to the others, "Kiwikiwa's attacking in the shopping center! Let's go!" Makoto yelled. Everyone transformed and ran to the shopping center. The outers, Nevlin and Prism waited out of view of Kiwikiwa. The saw the inners arrive and start attacking. "AQUA RHAPSODY!" "LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!" "OAK EVOLUTION!" Sure enough Kiwikiwa was distracted. Nevlin closed his eyes and started glowing blue. He was blocking the minds of the inners and the outers (himself and Prism included). This way Kiwikiwa would not sense their presence. As he was about to block Jupiter's mind, he came across one thought. *Goodbye Prism, I'll miss you* Nevlin relayed this thought to Prism, who in turn sent Jupiter a thought. *I will be back, don't worry, I wouldn't think of leaving you. * Jupiter smiled at this and fought harder. Nevlin finished his mind blocks and turned to Prism. "Aishiteru Prism." He kisses her and held her, eyes filling with tears. She was the first to find her way into his heart after Aya died. And he loved her dear, and didn't want to lose her. "Aishiteru Nevlin-kun." She turned to the others and smiled. They nodded to her. She then started her spell. She brought out her crystal and she started to glow aqua. She then walked towards Kiwikiwa. Once Kiwikiwa saw her it was too late. Prism opened her tear filled eyes and shouted, "HEALING ACTIVATION!!!" The entire shopping center was filled with the aqua light. "N-NANI!?" Kiwikiwa screamed. She started to fade and turn into nothing but black light. A huge explosion of aqua light flooded the city and all who were hurt were healed, all of the evil destroyed. When the light faded, nothing was left of Kiwikiwa and Prism. Nevlin fell to his knees and tears filled his eyes. "P-Prism…" He whispered but she didn't answer. The inners looked over and saw the outers standing there. Jupiter ran to Nevlin and embraced him, tears in her eyes also. "My dear senshi…" a voice came. All turned to Usagi. She was now Neo-Queen Serenity. All bowed, turning into their queen forms. Nevlin was left out, but he still bowed. "You have shown true courage, and as I promised, Prism would be reborn a true senshi. Nevlin, you will also be reborn into a true senshi knight. Your purpose, to serve as a protector to Sailor Prism, senshi of the Crystal Millennium, and to take her side as her King and rule together by Endymion and my side." Neo-Queen Serenity smiled glowing a pale silver. This light enveloped Nevlin and he was transformed into a knight with the symbol of a crystal on his forehead. "And to rule by your side" She continued, glowing aqua now, "Your Queen." Out of the light stepped a figure clad in a dress similar to Serenity's, just a pale aqua. A crystal shining on her forehead. The faint light diminished and there stood Prism. She opened her eyes and smiled, fresh tears forming. She opened her arms and Nevlin ran to her. "I told you." She hugged him tight, then turned to Jupiter. "I'd never leave such great friends." She hugged each queen and turned back to Serenity. "Arigatou, I'd be honored to rule by your side." She bowed to Serenity, then stood up and hugged her friend. "I must leave now, but we will meet again soon." Serenity smiled and returned to Usagi's form. Everyone else returned to their civilian forms and Nevlin and Prism held each other tight.
