I hope you didn't really think I was going to let it end that way?

[:::epilogue:::]

Soon the time of Crystal Tokyo would come. Setsuna knew of the exact moment when the Earth would begin to freeze over and she warned the Prince and Princess of this. Now that the future they knew was never going to exist a new one had to be created. The Silver Millennium would be brought back to rule. Usagi would rule as queen of the moon on the moon and Mamoru would rule as king of the Earth on Earth. The kingdoms would be united but yet separate.

The time was drawing nearer for the awakening. Sailor Cosmos and the rest of the senshi left Earth to head to their new home, the Moon. They would not have to wait a thousand years for the Earth to thaw since Cosmos could do it right after it happened from the moon. There was no population on the moon only the senshi. They were busy rebuilding the Silver Millennium to return it to its former glory. Once the rebuilding was complete they would bring people from Earth back with them to repopulate it.

"It's time Princess." Uranus entered into the garden in which Usagi was working.

"Please don't call me that." She stood up and brushed herself off, covering the front of her overalls in soot in the process. "It makes me uncomfortable." She looked up at the taller woman with a smile.

"Alright kitten. The others are waiting for us. You'd better transform." Uranus told her as they both began walking to meet up with the group. The inners and outers stood around waiting when they saw Cosmos and Uranus drawing near they all got into position.

The senshi stood in circle around Cosmos. The energy that they emitted was similar to that of the Sailor Planet Attack but with the extra senshi it looked like it did when they attacked the snow queen. The thawing process didn't take long, since Cosmos's energy continued to grow everyday. When they felt that they had enough energy they stopped and detransformed.

"Now all we can do is wait." Setsuna told them.

The war was over leaving the planet in utter dismay. Buildings lay in ruins all around them, it appeared as though there was no chance to revive what used to be their planet. This destruction after they had worked so hard to rebuild everything. All of that work for nothing. There were many survivors now all homeless. "We must seek help." Kakyuu voiced as she looked over the city in despair. "We must go back to Earth. Our people won't survive here long." She turned around to see her three senshi bowed down before her. "Perhaps they will have enough room for at least some of our hopes."

They all knew it would be impossible to save everyone. This was a whole planet they were talking about here. How would they decide who would live and die, they could not play God. It wasn't right but it was the only thing that they could do. "We must leave immediately." Kakyuu made her way past the senshi to make an announcement to her people.

Kakyuu and the Starlights soon arrived on Earth. The four of them had come alone. The Earth they had known was no longer, it had changed. What was once Tokyo was now Crystal Tokyo. The King of the Earth now ruled from there. The four made their way to the palace that loomed off in the distance. They knew the King of Earth to be Mamoru and there for were worried about his judgement of them. "Do you think that he will accept us? Even after everything that has happened between us?" Healer asked the question that was on all of their minds.

"We can only hope." Maker looked over at the smaller senshi. "We can only hope."

They soon were upon the palace and were escorted by the guards inside. They looked around and marveled at the splendors around them. Fighter got a pang in her stomach as the thought of Usagi once again entered her head. This time it was different, now she wondered if her and Mamoru had gotten back together for the sake of this kingdom. "This way." The guard directed them through the open door of the throne room.

"Welcome." Mamoru held his hand out to Kakyuu. "I see our situations are reversed this time." He smiled before he kissed her hand. "What brings you to Earth?" He asked as he offered them all seats.

Mamoru was being kinder than they had expected. Kakyuu explained their predicament extensively and not misleading him about the number of refugees there were. He just shook his head. "I'm sorry, there is really nothing that I can do. The Earth has it's own problem of fighting off over population."

The situation appeared hopeless. "Thank you for your time King." Kakyuu bowed to him as she got up and motioned for the Starlights to follow her. The King stood up and motioned for her to come back.

He flashed her a smile. "There is another alternative. You could go to the Queen of the Moon and seek her assistance." He knew well that they had no idea who the queen of the moon was. "She is a very kind ruler and I'm sure she would give you audience."

"Thank you for the suggestion." Kakyuu and the Starlights headed out of the room followed by Mamoru.

"I will escort you there personally, her guardians are a bit over protective." He winked at them for they would soon see exactly what he was talking about. The King informed his court that he would be making a short trip to the moon and that to expect him back soon. The King, Kakyuu and the Starlights made their way to the moon.

"Endymion!" The tallest of the four dark figures voiced. "To what do we owe this unexpected visit?" When the four figures got closer they could be recognized as Sailor Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Saturn.

"What aren't you happy to see me?" Mamoru joked with her. "And why do you always insist on calling me Endymion? Mamoru is fine." He walked up and stood before them with the Starlights and Kakyuu not far behind him. The moon palace was behind the outers and didn't appear to be too far away. "I have come here to present Princess Kakyuu to Selene." He didn't want to say Usagi and ruin this little surprise. "She requests an audience with her."

Neptune smiled at the Starlights but they didn't notice. They were too confused as to what was going on. "Well then follow us." Pluto stated as she turned to head for the palace. It was a short walk, only about ten minutes, but nothing was said between the travelers.

'If the outer senshi are here then that must mean that the inner senshi are here with Odango. Do they all live on the moon now?' Questions and concerns passed through Fighter's mind and a distraught look crossed her face, as she was deep in concentration. Mamoru looked over and noticed this, immediately know just what she was thinking.

"Here we are. I'll go and get her for you!" Saturn was a little excited and forgot her manners as she ran through the hallways to go and fetch the queen. The group waited patiently in the throne room for the queen and her inner court. Soon footsteps could be heard echoing through the large chamber.

Sailor Jupiter walked in first followed by Mars, Mercury and Venus. Healer smiled at Venus remembering the friendship that they had forged last time when they were both on Earth. The four didn't say anything however and didn't even smile. Well all except Venus didn't smile but she soon received an elbow in the ribs from Mercury who reminded her to look dignified and serious. As the girls lined up a new figure entered the room. A woman with white hair done up in Odango wearing a long white gown gracefully entered the room. When she did so Kakyuu noticed a huge grin spread across Mamoru's lips.

"Welcome to our home. I am Selene, Queen of the Moon." She introduced herself. "I believe you know my court and I know all of you too well." She winked at them. There was something odd about this queen. She didn't seem to have a refined regal tone to her. She could have been just any person off the street. But who were they to say anything? They were here for her help, they couldn't insult her. "What brings you here today?"

Kakyuu and the Starlights were confused to say the least at how this queen knew them 'too well'. Kakyuu stepped forward and began to explain the situation. "And so you see, your highness, we have no where else to turn to."

"Well, it seems like we have the perfect solution for your problem." Selene began walking towards her. "We will be able to accept your whole planet and all of its refugees. I will ask you one thing though."

"Yes, certainly, whatever you wish." Kakyuu was relieved that their worries had come to an end. She didn't care what the moon Queen was going to ask her to do, it didn't matter, she would do anything for her now.

"I would like for you to co-rule this planet with me." Selene took Kakyuu's hands in her own. "I don't have the experience to run an entire planet on my own and besides, they are your people, who better than to lead them?" She smiled warmly at her and waited for her answer.

"If that is what you wish than I will co-rule this planet with you." Kakyuu bowed to her.

"Don't bow to me, that's not necessary. That goes for you three too." She turned to the Starlights. She knew they had no idea who she was and was having fun with this little game. She went to Mamoru. "Thank you for bringing them here." She said as she hugged him.

"It was my pleasure." He reveled in the moment.

"Well we should be going now, we can't keep all of those people waiting now can we? They must be starved!" Selene said as she stepped away from the group.

"Is that all you can think about at a time like this? Food?!" Mars snapped from behind her. The Starlights and Kakyuu were stunned that the Queen's senshi yelled at her. "Baka would you change already so we can get going?" She smacked the Queen upside the back of the head. This just stunned them more.

"Man, Mars you're hitting me harder and harder everyday!" Selene rubbed the back of her head. "I was just thinking about their well being and I was about to change before you rudely interrupted me!" Selene stuck her tongue out at her. All of the planetary senshi except Mars got huge sweat drops. "COSMOS CRYSTAL POWER MAKE-UP!"

The Starlights and Kakyuu stood there amazed as they realized just who Selene really was, Usagi. When she was done transforming she smiled at Fighter. Fighter had no time to react before she was upon her. "Odango?" She questioned the smaller girl in her arms.

"Get off of her and let's go!" Mars called from behind her. "Remember the 'starving' refugees?" She pulled at Cosmos's cape. Cosmos was torn away from Fighter and put into a half Nelson by Mars who in turn threw her in the middle of the circle of the planetary senshi.

"Mars remind me that I don't like you any more when we get back." And with this comment the senshi disappeared.

"I guess we should follow them." Kakyuu said shrugging her shoulders. "Why didn't you tell us who the queen was?" She faced Mamoru who was now behind her.

"You didn't like your surprise?" He joked. "You'll take good care of her, won't you?" He directed this comment to Fighter.

Fighter who was still amazed at the fact that the Queen was her Odango, that they were going to be able to live on the same planet permanently, that she would be surrounded by all of her friends and her Odango, couldn't find the words to answer Mamoru's question. Healer stepped in for her. "Of course she will." She said in a sweet tone uncommon for Healer.

"I must be going now. Have a safe trip and I will be seeing you soon! Ja!" He called back before he too disappeared.

After all of the survivors were safely brought back to the moon the senshi and Kakyuu all made their way to their rooms to rest. It had been a very long process. Minako knocked on Healer's door. "Come in." The voice on the other side said. When she entered the room she noticed that Healer and Fighter had been talking. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you were busy. I'll talk to you tomorrow." She turned to leave but Fighter's words stopped her.

"No, Minako, stay, I was just leaving." She got up and made her way to Minako at the door.

"Don't you guys detransform when you're not needed?" She questioned both of them since they were still in their senshi form.

"We never did before, this is how we always walked around." Healer commented. "But I guess if you guys do it, then so should we." She detransformed into Yaten as Fighter did the same.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow." Seiya said as he left them alone.

Seiya made his way through the palace and towards Kakyuu's room. She was getting ready for bed but invited her visitor in with a welcome. "What is it Fighter?" She noticed that he was Seiya now but still called him Fighter. "Or should I call you by your male name now?" She questioned as she poured them both tea.

"You may call me whatever you'd like." He smiled warmly at her. "I was talking with Healer about reorganizing the towns and the political structure of our people. If we don't do something about it soon there will be utter chaos." He sipped his tea like what he had just said wasn't as important as it really was.

Kakyuu smiled at Seiya. "Why are you taking this weight onto your shoulders now?" She asked as she came up behind him. "You and the other senshi have just finished fighting a very long and tiring war. Don't you deserve a rest?" She had her hands placed on either one of his shoulders.

He spun around to look his princess in the face. "I can't. I just can't forget about everyone. Why should I rest when our people are suffering?" He turned back around to face the table. "I just can't be selfish now."

"Selfish? Is that what you call it?" Kakyuu kneeled down next to Seiya. "My dear Starlight, you of all people are anything but selfish." Seiya was surprised at her words. He had thought that if he spent his time in the happy blissful world of his Odango that he would be abandoning his people, the people he had just tried so hard to protect.

"But Princess, she is a Queen now. What would she want with just an ordinary senshi?" Seiya looked down at Kakyuu's smiling face.

"Did she look like she cared when she jumped on you earlier? Did she not seem like she was exactly the same as you had left her?" Kakyuu rose to her feet and clasped her hands in front of her. "Plus, your worries are over. I have a surprise for you." Just as she finished her sentence there was a knock at her chamber door. "You may enter."

Maker walked into the room. She bowed to Kakyuu and acknowledged Seiya. "Everything is finished. Would you like to come and see the progress?" She tried hard to contain her excitement. She used to be a very out going and spontaneous person before they had lost their princess.

Kakyuu got up to follow Maker and motioned for Seiya to do the same. "You may use your male form here if you with Maker, I have no qualms about it." Kakyuu said as she walked by her.

Maker looked back at Seiya and noticed his appearance. She transformed into Taiki and the two followed Kakyuu to the observatory. When they stepped into the room they noticed Cosmos and Mercury standing near the window looking down upon the landscape below.

When Cosmos and Mercury heard the footsteps behind them they looked up from what they were doing and turned to greet their guests. Mercury transformed back to Ami and Cosmos transformed back to Selene. (She was still Usagi, she just had white hair. I know, I know what you're thinking, 'Seiya is way to smart not to have noticed this before', but hey! This is my fic and I let him have a brain fart there!) "Everything is set, come see!" Selene waved Kakyuu and Seiya over to the window.

Kakyuu and Seiya gazed out on the marvelous city below. "Does it look familiar?" Taiki asked from behind them.

"How? Who." Seiya stuttered as he realized that it was the Imperial city of Kinkomu staring back up at him from down below.

"This is my surprise." Kakyuu hugged him. "You don't have to worry about everyone any more. Cosmos used her powers along with the help of Mercury and Maker to recreate the cities and towns of our planet." Kakyuu explained as she released him to see his eyes still as big as saucers. "Go and be 'selfish'!" She mocked him as she shoved him in an unlady-like manner.

"Do you like it?" Selene asked him as she stood next to him. "I did it for you." She whispered in a tone that only Seiya heard. "Welcome home."

Seiya didn't know what to say he turned and looked at Selene, his Odango and took her up in his arms as he kissed her passionately. He had everything he had ever wanted in his life here in his grasp now.
