Chapter Four
Usagi's crescent moon shone as Tyrolite was blasted back into the wall. Another crescent moon appeared and shone as brightly as Chibiusa slowly materialized into the room. "Chibiusa!" gasped Usagi, staring at her future daughter. "What are you doing here?" The light surrounding Chibiusa disappeared and Chibiusa held up the crystal. "Come to save your butt as usual," she grinned. "Who the hell are you?" yelled Tyrolite, shakily standing up. "I am Princess Serenity, of Crystal Tokyo," said Chibiusa calmly. "And I should care why?" "Because I'm here to kick your butt. Give Usagi her crystal." "Love to, but can't," he grinned. "The stupid blonde took it." "Chibiusa," hissed Usagi. "Minako has the crystal." The Imperium Crystal materialized above Usagi's head and she brought her hands into the air and took control of it. She activated it right at Tyrolite. He dodged the blast and activated his black crystal. He aimed it at Chibiusa and Usagi watched, horrified as the black crystal overcame Chibiusa's Imperium Crystal and it shattered. Chibiusa fell back as her eyes turned from a cinnamon color to a dark red and closed. Usagi rushed forward and caught her, gently laying her on the floor. She wiped her eyes and stood up. She faced Tyrolite, her expression one of fury and reactivated her crystal and shot a full blast at Tyrolite. He blocked it, but she kept on pressing on, willing the crystal and herself not to give up. She closed her eyes and thought of Mamoru, at his apartment. A vision flashed through her head and she saw him sitting on a couch in his apartment, greeting her as she brought him some of her charbroiled cookies. "Usako," the vision said. "Get rid of him. There's still so much we have to do until the future comes. Don't let him take that away from us." She reopened her eyes and nodded. Her eyes narrowed and she felt a presence behind her, Mamoru's. She let the power flow into her and watched as a mixture of her pink energy and his red energy joined together inside the crystal, uniting once and for all the Moon and the Earth Kingdoms. The crystal glowed at its peak and let off an enormous amount of energy, overpowering Tyrolite and tearing his body to shreds. She watched as his body disappeared and sank to the floor exhausted. She looked over at Chibiusa, lying on the floor unconscious. A tear fell down her cheek, still red from the battle, as she looked at her daughter. Her tear glowed and materialized into a heart-shaped crystal and joined with the shattered Silver Crystal. Mamoru gently laid Chibiusa's head in his lap and kissed her forehead gently as the crystal drifted toward her body. It entered her body and her skin color changed from a pale white to its normal color. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked up at Mamoru. "Mamo-chan," she whispered. "Chibiusa!" shrieked Usagi, running to her. Mamoru helped Chibiusa stand and she hugged Usagi. "Looks like I didn't save your butt," she said weakly. "Nope," said Usagi, triumphantly. "I saved your butt!" Mamoru hugged them both and they teleported back to the future. "Mama!" yelled Chibiusa as she saw the king and queen standing, surrounded by both the past and future generations of senshi. She ran to her mother's waiting arms and was swept up in a hug. Mamoru put his arm around Usagi and embraced her in a long and passionate kiss. The senshi saw the two standing and ran to Usagi. "Usagi, I'm glad you're okay," said Ami, smiling. "Glad you're back, Odango Atama," said Rei, clapping Usagi on the back. "Thanks, Rei," grumbled Usagi. The senshi all laughed as Rei and Usagi began arguing. "It's great to have Usagi back," said Makoto. "Yeah," agreed Minako. "Because life would never be the same without her." Two hours later, Usagi and Mamoru sat out on the balcony of his apartment. "Usako," he said. "Yes?" "I love you." "I love you too," she said, smiling shyly. He pulled her into a passionate kiss and when they broke, he said, "I'm just glad to have you back. Life's just not the same without you." "I thought I'd never see you again. Mamo-chan, I'm really sorry that I attacked you and the rest of the senshi. I had no idea what I was doing." "It's alright, Usako. The king explained everything that happened to you." "He did?" "Yes." "Where's Chibiusa?" asked Usagi. "She stayed with her parents." "Oh. I miss her, as annoying as she gets sometimes." "I know, but we'll see her soon enough," he said and pulled her into a long and passionate kiss, sealing their love forever.
