Three Years Later.......
Ever since that night, the night that Serena had felt as if her very soul was being ripped out, she had changed. She became harder, and colder, and trained almost every day and night. She had kept her look, because she, and everyone else, thought is suited her. Serena acted much more like a leader, than she had ever been permitted to, thanks to her "mother". It seems that her mother had practically rewritten the past, to her suiting. Serena didn't have all of her memories back yet, even though she was never reborn, but she enough to realize what was really true about the past.
She had never been in love with Prince Endymion, she had in fact thought him a disgusting pig. When she had found out that they were to be married, she had almost ran away from the moon. She couldn't because her so-called protectors and friends, had been given orders to keep two eyes on her at all times. The Outers had been protecting their outer posts, so they didn't even know she was engaged, until the rest of the Solar System did. When they came back to the palace, they were as angry as Serenity. The Queen sent them back to their posts as quickly as possible, saying that she was worried their was a disterbence. It was a fat load of bullshit and she knew it, so did they.
Back then, the Inner Senshi hadn't been as harsh on her as they were on Earth. It probably because she was Princess of the Moon, and next in line to the throne. But they had always done the little things that let her know how they felt about her, well ever since she had turned twelve. Before that, they had all been the best of friends, she didn't know what happened to them.
There were times when it seemed that everything in the Moon Kingdom made perfect sense, and then there were times that there were these memories and thought that completely eluded her. More like a someone....but she didn't know who.
Serena snapped out of her thoughts when Hotaru came into her room and jumped onto her bed. Now 18, Hotaru had just finished high-school and was waiting on accseptence, or rejection, letters from the colleges she had applied to.
"I'm up, I'm up! Is breakfast ready yet?" asked a sleepy Serena. There were dried tear stains on her pillow from the pain of re-living her memories. She hardly ever cried now, she didn't have the time, or reason to.
Serena got out of bed, shooed Hotaru out of her room, and began to get ready for the day. She walked into her walk-in closet and picked out a silver halter top, a pair of low riding blue jeans, and a pair of knee-length army boots. For jewelry she picked out a simple diamond necklace, a few silver bracelets for each arm, and dark purple ear rings. Her bellybutton ring was dark purple, as well as her tounge ring. Finished with clothes, she turned her attention to her hair. It was still dark purple with the silver streak, but it was now down to her calves. She snapped her fingers and her hair was suddenly all in thick spider braids. She went over to her dresser and got a hair bow, then put her braids into a low pony tail. Hearing her name being called for breakfast, she walked out of her really large room, and into the spacious kitchen.
"Good morning Bunny, do you want some pancakes?" asked Michiru in a motherly way. Michiru had continued to play the violin for crowds and was now world known for it. She also taught music to little children on weekends.
"I'd love some, thanks Mich!" exclaimed Serena happily, putting thoughts of her memories aside for now. She sat down at the table, beside Haruka and Setsuna and began to drink the coffee that Haruka had placed in front of her.
"That's an interesting hair style, where did it come from?" asked Haruka, nonchalantly. Haruka still played the part of over-protective brother, or rather sister, but not as insufferable as she had been a couple of years ago. She had lost interest in professional racing, because it was so easy to beat all the boys that thought she was just a wimpy little girl, and had taken to performing with Michiru, as a pianist. They were both know worldwide, and people came from all over to see them play. Haruka still looked the same and still called her that childish nickname, "Koneko".
Serena answered, "Actually, I saw this women wearing her hair like this, just a lot shorter, and I'd thought I would try it out. It stays out of my way like this, and it looks really cool."
"I like it, it goes with her sense of style, and it will look really cool with her senshi uniform!" exclaimed Hotaru. She was now a high-school graduate. She was interested in becoming a doctor, a chance to be able to use her special healing powers, powers that had once almost cost her, her life. She had taken lessons from Michiru and learned how to play the cello, and she had become unusually good at it. Every time Hotaru played, she felt at peace with herself, and at peace with everybody else.
"I agree, Hotaru, both you and Serena have a great sense of style, if I do say so myself!" exclaimed Setsuna, who had followed her very long dream of becoming a fashion designer. She played no instruments, but the clothes she designed were breath-taking. She made all of Serena's clothes.
"I know, I know! Hahaha," Agreed a laughing Serena. She also played some instruments. Michiru had only taught her the violin at first, but as Serena progressed, she became more and more interested in music. She also played the piano, the piccolo, and the flute. She didn't play better than Haruka or Michiru, but she played differently. Michiru expressed the beauty of life through her music, and Haruka expressed her emotions through the piano, but Serena bared her soul through her music. No matter what she played, it made you want to cry, even if it was supposed to be a cheerful piece. It was as if she were trying to tell you something, but you could never figure it out, or maybe you just weren't the right person. The look on her face was the look of someone who had lost their other half, but she never noticed that she looked like that, no one had ever told her.
"So what are we doing today?" asked Haruka curiously.
"We are going to go to the time gates and train. I have a feeling that something is going to happen soon, I just don't know what it could be. We must be in top condition for whatever it may be, and on guard at all times," clarified Serena, taking action as the leader of the remaining Sailor Scouts.
"Ok, your the boss, so lets go," Haruka quipped and stood up and dropped her dishes into the sink. She would clean them later.
Everyone went to stand behind Setsuna who called forth a portal, which took them to the time gates. She didn't have to be there 24/7 anymore, because Serena had given her a magical lock that would lock the gates securely against anything that dared try to inter without the key, which just happed to be her time key.
The next thing everybody knew, they were all in a vacant dimension. It was all gray and foggy, the perfect place to train. "Alright everybody transform!" shouted Serena and they all took action.
Michiru went first," Neptuno Oceano Transformacion!"
Her celestial uniform was a lot different from her old one. She no longer had a tiara, rather an 4 sided star. Her skirt was shorter, and was now a light aqua green color, as well as her gloves, which came up to 4 inches past her elbows. Her boots were no longer shin length, instead came up to her thighs, and were very dark blue. She had on a black choker that had the insignia of Neptune on it. Her bow now had her own crystal in the center, it held a power that was like her emergency power, for if she could do no more, then she would unleash an attake that would more than likely kill her. Her hair was now longer, going down to her waist, and up in a high ponytail. She was now Marinero Neptuno.
Haruka went next, "Urano Cielo Transformacion!"
Her skirt was shorter than her old uniform and was now a beige color, as were her gloves, which were the same length as Michiru's. Her boots now came up to her knees, and were dark blue as well. She also had on a black choker with the insignia of Uranas on it. She also had a crystal on her bow that would do the same thing as Michiru's crystal. Her hair was the same. She was now Marinero Urano.
Next came Hotaru, who shouted, "Saturno Cadaverico Transformacion!"
Her uniform was darker than everyone else's. Her skirt was the same short length, and was a very dark purple, almost black. Her bows, choker, and gloves were the same color. She had a crystal as well, though it held a bit more power than the other two scouts. Her hair just brushed her shoulders, and seemed to flow back, though there was no wind. She was now Marinero Saturno.
Setsuna was next," Pluton Misterioso Transformacion!"
Her uniform was different from the other scouts that had transformed. Her skirt was longer than the others' and was raven black. She had a choker on as well, but instead of just having the insignia of Pluto on it, she also had a small picture of the staff of time intertwined with the insignia of Pluto. Her bow did not have a crystal, because most of her last minute power came from her time staff. Her boots came up to her knees and were black as well. Her gloves were only wrist length, and were a deep emerald green. Her hair was hip length and half of it was in a bun, while the rest of it flowed freely. She was now Marinero Pluton.
Serena went last,"Fenix Paradisiaco Transformacion!"
She looked a whole lot different. Her skirt was the same short length, but it was a multitude of red, black, and silver, all sort of clashing together. Her gloves went only to her elbows, and were a deep, deep blood red. Her choker was dark silver, with the insignia of the moon, sun, and pheniox all intertwined together. Her boots were the same length as Michiru's, but were black instead. Her hair was still in the braids she had, had them in, but they weren't in a low ponytail anymore. They were just flowing, going down to her calves, even in the tight spider braids. She was now Marinero Fenix.
The all grouped up, Serena with Haruka, and Setsuna, Hotaru, and Michiru together. Today they were just going to work on physical attakes, since they knew that their magical attakes could kill each other, or do some serious harm.
Haruka and Serena were sparring, and Setsuna, Hotaru, and Michiru were working on battle techniques, when it happened. Serena suddenly froze, overcome with an almost unbearable pain. When she had felt as if her soul was being ripped out, all those years ago, was nothing compared to this. She had no idea what was happening. She felt blackness creeping up on her, and she welcomed it and fell unconscious.

Marcus: ::smiling despite himself:: Ok, ok, I will stop nagging. As long as you give the poor readers the translations to the Spanish that you used. They are probably shaking their heads, with a what-the-fuck look on their face right now.
Hecate-chan: Ok, you are right, for a change! I will give them the translations and then say goodbye.
