The 4 ex-gundam pilots stood, their power surrounding them. Heero was shocked that all this power, belonged to him. He didn't believe he deserved this heavenly power with all his sins. When Wufei's power came to him, he felt immediately at ease though it was like fire was racing up his body. He believed in gods and goddesses more then the others because in his culture, there were immortals and gods, one of which is Nataku. Trowa was shocked, just as Heero was but it was like his power comforted him as if it replaced a hole in his being. Duo actually didn't feel all that different except more confidence and the feel of his energy, he had believed in the God of Death to long to actually change much.
"Feel any different?" Serenity asked as she too began to change. She glowed and her gown disappeared and in her place was a girl who looked exactly like Serenity but a little younger.
"Hi! I'm Usagi!" The former Serenity said cheerfully holding out her hand. Duo and Quatre politely shook her hand while the others just stared.
"Usagi-chan! Why did you change?" Ami asked surprised at her queen's actions.
"This way, I can henshin!" She said cheerfully smiling.
"Demo, okaa-chan, I'm Sailor Moon now!" Chibi-usa said wistfully looking at Usagi with her red eyes pleading.
"Hai, hai... I kept this a secret but awhile back, I started changing, I became Sailor Cosmos. Now I am able to control the Ginzuishou fully but in order to do that, I can not be in my Serenity form." Usagi explained.
"Usako... you know I don't like it when you keep secrets." Endymion said scowling.
Usagi's smile faltered and she said, "Demo, I had to."
"Humph."
"Oh put a sock in it Mamoru baka." Uranus muttered. Mamoru glared at Uranus but didn't say anything.
"Who is this Sailor Cosmos?" Heero asked looking at Usagi.
"This." She said and closed her eyes. With a flurry of feathers and light, she changed, her odangos were no longer round but heart shaped, the silver hair remained the same. She was in a short rainbow color skirt and a long staff.
"That's a disgraceful outfit onna! In fact, all of you are in disgraceful clothes! Injustice!" Wufei snorted as Sailor Cosmos blushed looking down.
"I think they look cute." Duo smirked.
"Ecchi..." Hotaru muttered looking disdainfully at Duo. Most of the Senshi laughed while Haruka growled menacingly at Duo for looking at Usagi-chan. he shrugged and smirked.
"What are we going to do? We can't hurt Mars!" Jupiter said breaking the brief moment of humor.
"The key is the prophecy." Pluto said mysteriously an smiled, "That is all I am allowed to tell."
Mercury cleared her throat and took off her visor.
"I may have a solution... but..." Mercury quickly glanced at Usagi then lowered her head.
"No." Uranus glared, narrowing her eyes dangerously. She was not even going to SUGGEST it.
"Stop, Ami-chan, go ahead."
"The Ginzuishou cleanses, so if someone used it's power to cleanse Mars, it should beat Chaos OUT of her." Ami said quietly. She felt like dirt, she knew that Usagi would attempt this and it might kill her for Chaos is no small force to trifle with. "Demo, we must do it soon, Chaos is probably eating away at her soul this minute."
"I'll do it." She had a determined look on her face, "First we'll try and decipher that prophecy, tomorrow, we'll try the cleansing."
"Iie! Serenity-sama, you can't!" Saturn cried standing up and taking several steps toward her. Serenity shook her head and started to speak.
"Mars is one of my best friends. I must do this for her." she said quietly and slowly walked out of the room. The others disbanded to think on their own of the situation. Minako and Quatre walked out together in silence.
"Why was everyone so upset? About Usagi-san using the Ginzuishou?" Quatre asked as they strolled.
"If she uses too much of her power, she dies. Chaos almost killed her before... even before that, her children has killed her. In the last battle... We all died, except the Starlights and Chibi-Chibi, it was very painful for her, she saw all of us die in front of her very eyes. Mars especially, she was the one who clung to life to tell her that she did it because she cared about Usagi to much to let her die."
"What title are you? Venus?"
"Hai, Venus."
"Then I think you are the prophesized person. Venus is called Earth's twin."
"Demo... "Blood as pure as the moons" contradicts it..." Minako looked puzzled, Quatre shrugged and they continued walking in silence.

Usagi was walking down the hall deep in thought, she knew the consequences of using the Ginzuishou. Suddenly a hand grabbed her wrist and she turned around, her eyes wide but soon calmed down, it was Heero.
"Why are all the senshi worried about you?"
"Because, they know that if I use the full power of the Ginzuishou, it will most likely kill me." Usagi answered solemnly. Heero let go of her wrist and nodded, it was a suicide mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, they held a meeting in the living room. No one had a clue who the prophesized person was. Most thought it was Usagi though.
"Any ideas?" Usagi asked as she sat down in a big fluffy chair. Everyone shook their heads. Pluto had not arrived yet. She had to guard the gates of time. Usagi looked around, she then noticed something. "Where's Mamo-chan?"
"Mamoru? Your husband right? I saw him leave when I was making tea. I thought he wanted to take a stroll or something. He'll be back, don't worry." Quatre said, giving Usagi a reassuring smile.
'Mamoru left?' Minako thought, something wasn't right. She had long thought Mamoru was distrustful. She felt she forgot something but couldn't remember what it was. She thought harder trying to remember. Suddenly, Minako blacked out falling from her seat.
~~~Minako's Flashback~~~
"Oka-chan!! Where are we going?" A young Minako asked while skipping along side of her mother. It was during the Silver Millennium! Mirai Minako looked down at herself, she was transparent and people obviously didn't notice her.
"Where am I?" She asked softly. She decided to follow her young self to find out what was happening.
"We're going to meet your cousin Serenity-chan!" He former mother informed young Minako.
"She's me cousin?"
"Hai, her father and I were siblings."
"Honto!?"
"Hai!"
~~~End Flashback~~~
"Minako! Minako!" Usagi said, shaking Minako gently. Quatre kneeled by her peering at Minako worriedly.
"Huh? Wha-" Minako opened her eyes slowly. Almost everyone was gathered around her, looking at her curiously, "What happened?" Minako asked.
"You blacked out Mina-chan." Quatre told her gently, smiling softly.
"Mina-chan?" Duo asked looking at Quatre grinning, "I do believe Quatre's in loooooove!" Quatre blushed as bright as a tomato all the way to the roots of his hair. Minako blushed also but she quickly grew serious and looked at Pluto who nodded slightly, she had arrived during the flashback..
"Usagi-chan, do you remember if it was your mother or father that was the heir of the Moon?" Minako asked, this may be the missing link!
"I think it was Tou-chan, if it was kaa-chan then she wouldn't have died using the crystal..." Usagi answered puzzled at Minako's weird question. Minako nodded and she stood up with the help of Quatre.
"I need to think, Usagi, don't do anything dumb. Remember, I'm the Princess of Venus, if need be, I can override your decisions." Minako said with a look that plainly said you will not be leaving this house without me. Usagi nodded meekly and sweatdropped.
'If my mother, is of the same blood line as Usagi's father, that means I am also part of the Royal Moon Family. I can use the Ginzuishou. Quatre was right, I can't let Usagi die! She has sacrificed so much for us.' Minako made her decision. Somehow, she had to get that crystal!
