*********************************************************************************************

Usagi slowly opened her eyes. The gray-white of a ceiling greeted her gaze. 'Where am I?'
She turned her head and saw Mamoru sleeping beside her. She slowly sat up. They were lying
on top of a bed. The room was white and green and obviously masculine. She looked back down
at Mamoru; his eyes were slowly opening.

"Usako..."

"Mamo-chan..."

She placed a hand on his chest and scooted closer to him. His hand covered hers lovingly.
They both jumped when they heard a knock on the door.

"Yes?" Usagi said timidly.

"It's Ival. Can I come in?"

"Yes, please enter," Usagi responded.

Ival entered the room. His eyes took in the scene and he knew immediately that his two guests
were in love. Usagi looked at him for answers and the young man lay exhausted beside her.

"Where are we?" Usagi finally asked.

"This is my room. This house belongs to Alia, Shawn, and I."

"Where is Alia?" the young man asked and sat up with the help of Usagi.

"She is resting, Mr.?"

"My name is Chiba Mamoru," he turned and looked Usagi and then looked back at Ival, "Or rather
Kanzaki Mamoru."

Ival could barely contain his shock. He remembered telling Alia that Mamoru might be alive,
but he hadn't really expected it. "I'll be back in a moment."

He returned with Shawn, and the two stared at Mamoru. Usagi frowned. 'What was so hard to
understand? Mamoru was alive and had a sister.'

"Shawn? Ival?" Alia's voice floated from down the hallway.

"Coming, Alia!" Shawn called and headed off in the direction of her voice.

"Come on, let's move you two to the kitchen," Ival said when Shawn left.

Usagi and Mamoru stood and followed Ival into the kitchen. They sat down on barstools and
Ival made them hot chocolate. Alia and Shawn soon joined them. Alia sat down, and Shawn
stood beside Ival.

"What all can you remember?" Alia asked.

"I would say just about everything..." Mamoru replied.

"Me too..." Usagi added.

"...ditto..." Alia said quietly.

"Well we don't, so do you mind filling us in?!" Ival said exasperated.

"It would be best if everyone was present. Then the story wouldn't have to be repeated,"
Mamoru said.

"Everyone?" Shawn questioned.

"Follow us," Usagi replied. She then pulled out her communicator, "Emergancy Meeting," was
all she said.

"Wait!" Shawn said before Usagi and Mamoru could leave.

"We can't leave the children," Ival explained. "Rose! Alex! Come on! We're going to
a meeting."

Two children emerged into the kitchen where they were all standing. They were both about
five. The girl had golden hair braided and then coiled around her head. She had deep
golden eyes. The boy had dark, red hair that reached his waist and matching red eyes.

"This is Alex and Rose," Shawn said. Usagi and Mamoru recognized them but said nothing.

*********************************************************************************************

They arrived at the temple in record time. Shawn wondered why they were at Rei's. When they
reached the top of the steps, they saw Rei standing in the doorway. She was noticably shocked
when she saw them approach. "Fire room!" she called to them before disappearing into the
temple.

They entered the temple and Usagi led them to the fire room. Shawn recognized it immediately.
It was Rei's favorite room. Inside the room was a collection of females, one guy, and two
cats.

Rei approached them and said, "I'll make the introductions." Usagi and Mamoru nodded. They
walked to one of the walls and leaned up against it.

Rei began with the strangers. "This is Alia, Shawn, and Ival." Pointing to each in turn.
Shawn interrupted her to introduce Alex and Rose before allowing her to move on.

Rei turned, "You already know Usagi, Mamoru --"

Mamoru cut her off, "Rei, fully introduce everyone."

The guy with short blondish brown hair took a half step forward in protest, but stopped when
Usagi looked at him.

Rei began again, "Tuskino Usagi: Sailor Moon, Princess Serenity, Neo-Queen Serenity.
Chiba Mamoru: Tuxedo Kamen, Prince Endymion, King of the Earth. Mizuno Ami: Sailor Mercury,
Princess Ami of Mercury. Aino Minako: Sailor Venus, Princess Minako of Venus. Setsuna:
Sailor Pluto, Princess Setsuna of Pluto, Guardian of Time. Kino Makoto: Sailor Jupiter,
Princess Makoto of Jupiter. Michiru: Sailor Neptune, Princess Michiru of Neptune. Tomoe
Hotaru: Sailor Saturn, Princess Hotaru of Saturn. Ten'oh Haruka: Sailor Uranus, Princess
Haruka of Uranus. I am Rei: Sailor Mars, Princess Rei of Mars."

Alia and her gang were shocked to discover the identies of everyone in the room, especially the
fact that the supposed guy was actually a girl. Before they could recover, more was unloaded
on them.

"This is Luna and Artemis, our cat guardians," Rei continued.

"Welcome to our meeting," Luna said polietly.

"Welcome," Artemis echoed.

"Our only missing members are Chibi-Usa and Diana," Rei finished.

"Chibi-Usa?" Alia asked though she kind of had a feeling where the question would end.

Rei looked at Usagi and Mamoru. They nodded. Rei turned back to their guests. "Chibi-Usa
is Usagi's and Mamoru's daughter in the furure. She is also Sailor Chibi-Moon, Small Lady, and
Neo-Princess Serenity. Diana is Luna's and Artemis's daughter in the future."

Ival and Shawn were doubly shocked. 'How in the name of Earth did they know about their future
daughter, much less meet her?!'

Mamoru turned to Alia, "Fully introduce yourselves." Everyone but Usagi looked puzzled.

Alia nodded. "I am Mamoru's younger sister, Kanzaki Alia: Sailor Earth, Princess Alia of
Earth. This is Ival Karsavina: the Green Knight, 'The Spear of Courage', Duke of Rusina on
Earth. This is Shawn Flanagan: the Red Knight, 'The Flame of Earth', Prince of the Earthian
Army." Alia hesitated. Mamoru smiled at her and nodded. "That is Kanzaki Mamoru: Black Knight,
'The Sword of Honor', Prince Endymion of Earth."

The senshi were surprised at the newcomers and Mamoru. However, they were completely
unprepared for what happened next. "Alex is the Red Dragon of Earth, and Rose is the Gold
Dragon of Earth. They are our guardians."

"Are they real dragons?" Minako asked softly.

"Yes, we are," Rose replied. "We take this shape to walk with Sailor Earth and her knights."

"Now! All transform to your fullest potential!" Alex shouted.

Unable to stop themselves, everyone transformed. Princesses were scattered across the room;
Prince Endymion was revealed; two knights stood in full battle dress; two humans stood where
the cats had been; only the dragons had not transformed. The symbols on everyone's foreheads
began lighting up. Alex had a red ball on his forehead and Rose a gold one. The light
pouring from the symbols began connecting. Rays of light criss-crossed the room. With them,
came knowledge and memories.

********************************************************************************************

KNOWLEDGE

She was Alia. She held the Rose Crystal. Her destiny was to protect the Power of Spirits.
Each human posessed a part of that power in the form of a spirit stone. The knights, six in
all, were her companions. Shawn: the Red Knight. Ival: the Green Knight. Mamoru: the Black
Knight. Three weapons had chosen their masters; three remained masterless.

The "Broadsword of Fire" had chosen Shawn. The "Spear of Lightning" had chosen Ival. The
"Sword of Night" had chosen Mamoru. That left the "Staff of Holy Light", the "Bow of
Silence", and the "Axe of Tides" without masters.

The Spirit Stone of Love, the Spirit Stone of Hope, the Spirit Stone of Light, and the Spirit
Stone of Life were in danger. The four stones resided in four of the warriors of the Silver
Millennium. They knew that the Spirit Stone of Love was kept within Usagi. The Spirit Stone
of Hope slept within Alia. Light's and Life's specific locations were not known.

*********************************************************************************************

KNOWLEDGE

She was Usagi. She held the Silver Crystal. Her destiny was to protect the Universe from all
evil. By her side were the senshi: Sailors Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune, and Pluto. Ami, Minako, Rei, Makoto, Hotaru, Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna: her
friends.

Born into their power, together, they were unbeatable. Forever, their will to protect the
innocent and save the just would prevail. A combination of strength, compassion, wisdom,
intellegance, love, temper, and laughter connected them with a bond that could not be broken.

Each a princess in their own right, all following the one princess who would become Queen of
the Universe. Each would die to save another. Each would die to save their Queen. Their
Queen would die to save them.

*********************************************************************************************

KNOWLEDGE

They were the Dragons of Earth. A total of four dragons existed. Alex: the Red Dragon, Rose:
the Gold Dragon, Shanna: the Violet Dragon, and Lantis: the Black Dragon.

They have been alive for over 2000 years and were unable to die. Alex could see the future;
Rose held all the knowledge of the universe. Lantis controlled all magic. Shanna the Just
always knew the truth from a lie.

Faced with immortality, they watch as those they love wither and die. They wait for the group
that shall live forever. A total of 20 humans would live forever with them. A king, a queen,
a princess and her husband, four knights, and 12 senshi.

MEMORIES

"Haruka! Where are you?"

"You have to find me, Alia! That is what hide and seek is!"

"But I'm only six!"

{change}

"Alia! My mother is looking for you!"

"NO AMI! I WANT TO TRAIN WITH HARUKA!"

{change}

"Haruka? Do you love Michiru?"

"Yes."

{change}

"Ival! Why didn't you tell me that you were in love with Makoto!"

{change}

"I love you, Rei"

"Shawn..."

{change}

"Usagi? Have you seen Alia?"

"No, Haruka, why?"

"I feel as though she is in danger..."

{change}

"Queen Serenity..."

"Yes, Setsuna?"

"Alia, Haruka, and Michiru were killed on Earth..."

"What!"

{change}

"IVAL! NO!"

{change}

"REI! GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

{change}

The last scream of pain formed a word, "YATEN!"

{change}

"Seyia..."

"No...I won't believe it..."

"She has fallen in battle..."

{change}

"AMI! I have to go to her!"

"It's too late!"

*********************************************************************************************

The light ended with a flash; everyone gasped and fell to their knees. So many memories had
flooded through all of them. Haruka and Michiru had died on Earth with Alia during the battle
with Beryl. Haruka and Alia were best friends during the Silver Millennium, and Michiru joined
them when she and Haruka fell in love. Alia had studied under Ami's mother. Ival and Makoto
were destined to be together; as were Shawn and Rei. Minako will always love Yaten. Taiki's
voice had screamed Ami's name, and Seiya was in love with...someone...

*********************************************************************************************

{Alia, Mamoru, and Haruka}

They had left the temple over an hour ago. Michiru and Setsuna had taken Hotaru home, and
Usagi had gone with them to give the three time to catch up.

"Do you remember how we met?" Haruka asked Alia.

"You snuck off of Uranus onto my transport. I found you stowed away in my bedroom."

Haruka laughed, "I can still see the look on your face when you found me."

"I can remember screaming."

The three laughed.

"I remember when we first met Michiru," Alia said smiling.

"It was your idea to sneak off planet, AGAIN!" Mamoru responded.

Haruka laughed, "And it was your fault we didn't end up on Pluto."

"True..." Alia replied

More laughter sounded.

"Oh! Do you remember when we went to Mars?"

"Which time? The one where you destroyed half of the Fire Palace or when you two managed to
almost slice Rei to pieces with your swords?" Mamoru taunted.

"Hey! That was completely her idea!" Alia said pointing at Haruka.

"It was not my idea to see if the Central Fire Pedestal could be pushed over!" Haruka
responded.

Mamoru laughed, he hadn't know that Alia had been the reason the pedestal had fallen. "You
two were always in trouble."

"You were normally there with us," Haruka replied.

"Yeah, it wasn't until you met Usagi that you stopped getting in trouble."

"I could say the same! You and Michiru and you and Seiya!"

"Seiya... Where is he now?"

Haruka and Mamoru looked at Alia intently. "He isn't on Earth," Mamoru said slowly.

"He's not dead is he?!"

"No, no, no! He is on his own planet right now," Haruka said quickly.

"Oh..."

*********************************************************************************************

{Ami}

She had left the meeting and headed straight home. She lay on her bed, staring out the window
at the stars.

'Perhaps, it's not so bad... He called my name, he loved me... I remember it all... We were
in love...'

*********************************************************************************************

{Minako}

She sat by the lake in the park. 'We were in love...'

*********************************************************************************************

{elsewhere in the galaxy}

"Yaten, Taiki..."

"Yeah, Seiya?"

"What's up?"

"I have this funny feeling..."

Taiki and Yaten looked at Seiya closely. "What do you mean?" Yaten asked.

"I feel like we shouldn't be here...that we are wanted on Earth..." He stood and began to
pace.

"I have experienced that feeling as well," Taiki replied.

"Me too," Yaten added.

"Should we go?" Seiya asked, stopping his pacing.

"Yes, we will need to speak with Princess Fireball," Taiki agreed immediately, standing.

"I know why you feel the call to Earth," came a feminine voice.

"Princess Fireball!" Yaten said and stood.

"Go to Earth."

"We will return soon, Princess," Seiya said.

The three Starlights left the room and headed for the transport bay, they would leave
immediately. Princess Fireball watched as their ship pulled away, "No, you won't. Love
beckons, and you must answer the call."
