A/N 2: Oh I remember there was question as to why Rini isn't in the story. It's the same as the whole not being the Neo-Queen and just being Queen Serenity because Serena broke herself away from that future when she left the Earth. Sorry if it seems cruel!!! I'll put Rini in another story, though I can't guarantee she'll be the same Rini, cuz I don't like Rini all to much. Anyways there your answer and on with the story!

Title: Moon's Force
Chapter Eight
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***
Serenity sat in her bed watching a large screen displaying movies and such. Anywhere you go, there will always be some form of television. Isibo slept peacefully beside her in a cradle of purple hues. She had thought about naming Isibo, Serenity once, after her to continue the royal name, but that was an old life with a broken destiny. Serenity wanted nothing to do with it.
From inside the purple cradle came a small cry, a sign the small princess was waking from her nap.
" Hello little one, sleep well?" Serenity smiled as Isibo giggled at her, she was such a happy baby.
Isibo giggled some more in her happy but hungry mood. Her dark blue orbs shining like her father's, a full head of soft white hair mussed from her nap. Serenity sighed, she'd wished her child would have her eyes or hair, but alas she had her father's features in those two areas. She knew that sounded selfish, but everything else about the princess was Serenity, that made her smile grow wide.
The door opened as the Queen brought her two week old babe to her breast to feed, Lady Catsie blushing along with Lady Michelle.
" You'd think that both of you would be used to me doing this by now." Serenity grinned, then winced for a second, before grinning again.
" Well…Your right. Anyways My Queen, monitors of the Earth say that the Kingdom is now eight and a half months old, the entire planet is active."
" Good. I want a watch on the palace in Tokyo doubled in efforts. I'm still deciding on whether to send some people under cover to if it's safe to go there. I can't get leave Isibo alone for another two weeks yet. Or I don't want to." Serenity blushed, the entire mother/daughter connection hitting her hard. They smiled and bowed.
" Oh, and send my Husband in here, please." With nods she watched them leave and concentrated on her daughter until Artemis walked into their chambers.
" Want something Sere?" Artemis grinned at her, taking Isibo into his arms and kissing his wife's head before his baby's.
" Other than a pink pony, some company from my beloved would be nice."
" As you wish my Queen."
He laid down next her on the overly large bed, putting Isibo between them, and they all seem to fall asleep. They never sensed that Birdie and Avery were in the room snapping pictures of the slumbering family for a new photo album. They would find out soon enough.

Samuel Tsukino paned around his house looking for something that would fill his stomach. His shelves were stocked with food but he felt no desire for anything within the cupboards. His stomach grumbled hungrily and he grabbed his keys and jacket, then was out the door.
Sammy had no love for the king and his two wives, and now children. A smile tweaked his lips thinking about the disturbing development the King had ran into. His sons were identical, and everyone wanted to know who would take the throne: Prince Eros or Prince Aires? With a scowl Sammy took his mind off of it as he arrived at a small restaurant in downtown Crystal Tokyo.
Ever since he'd woken up from his long hibernation the blonde haired boy had lived alone. His house had been rebuilt after being destroyed by the meteor. Sammy's sister Serena had never been found to this day, there were rumors that she had escaped the cold. He really didn't know what to think about this. Their parents hadn't survived the 'restoring process' as they called it. Both had come down with a mutated form of pneumonia named Eotaries. Many all over the world had already fallen to the virus, most dying quickly.
So of course he hated it all. How could a world take his parents away and leave a sixteen year old young man to live out his days wondering what happened to his sister? His thoughts cut off as a waitress led him to a table. Sammy was sick of the Earth, it's cold temperatures seem to be unending, he longed for warmth of the summer, but it didn't look like it would be here anytime soon.
" What would you like to drink sir?" The waitress smiled at him, paper and pen in hand.
" Coffee please." He smiled a thanks to her and looked out the window, the moon shining bright. He suddenly felt pleasantly warm…

King Darien had never known such frustration in his entire life. The ebony haired man knew they were there, living on that rock in the sky. Problem is, he couldn't contact them. He really didn't know why he wanted to see her face, but he had to. Darien didn't love her, or completely hate her, but it was something he felt had to be done. Turning back to the devices on his desk again, his mind swirled trying to figure it out.
" Love?" Mina stepped back at his glare, but went in when her husband's face softened.
" Did you come to get Eros?" He glanced at the blue eyed baby reaching for the rings of his carrier. Mina laughed.
" No, just to check. I get worried that you aren't paying attention to him like he needs. Eros is getting attention isn't he?"
He frowned at her, Darien loved his sons!
" Of course! Eros has been helping me figure my problem out. I play with him all the time. It's Aires I don't see enough." He frowned at this, Eros seem to noticed because he stopped his baby sounds and was quiet.
" Well, King Darien, maybe I'm still very attached to my baby boy. It's only been six or so months!" Rei glared at him, angry that he talked to Mina about it instead of herself.
" Sorry Rei." His head slumped, but he grinned when Aries was placed in his lap, purple eyes laughing.
" It's fine. Still working on contacting that stupid woman? I bet she's as weak as she was the day she left." Rei smirked, watching her family nod.
Darien stood, handing Eros to Mina, and keeping Aries in his hold. Grabbing their coats the family decided on a walk since it was a bit warm today.
**
The park had been reconstructed since it to had been ruined by a large chunk of the meteor. People were everywhere, most exploring the new maze that had been created. Here is where Crystal Earth's royal family walked, two guards with them. Darien hummed to himself, pushing the stroller with ease. Rei and Mina looked around lazily, content hanging on his arms.
**
Sammy pulled his jacket tighter around him, the wind was blowing harder. How could anyone think it was warm? Shaking his short sandy hair, he kept walking, finally finding his way out of the maze. His blue eyes caught site of the royal family and he scowled in their general direction.
**
- Who's that coming out of the maze?- Darien watched the young boy scowl and walk away from the green hedges of the maze. His eyes narrowed, he knew that boy somehow.
" Who's that boy in the green jacket?" Darien turned to look at Rei.
" Which one?" Rei tilted her head to get a better view, not sure who her husband was talking about.
" Green jacket, sandy blonde hair? He just turned left by the fountain." Darien kept his eyes on the boy, still trying to match a name to him.
" That's Sammy! Serena's little brother! Wow…he grew." Mina stared at him dreamily, until Darien poked her arm.
" Her brother…Remind when we get back to the palace to pull up his background."
They stared at him in wonder but continued walking. Sammy never noticed a guard following him…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***
Councilor Mercury watched the screen with worry, her eyes never wavering. Where could she be? Did she make it? Was she in hiding? No, she couldn't be in hiding, why would she be?
" Councilor Mercury?"
Startled Ami jumped from her seat, hand over her heart. Senator Eon jumped back a bit, not expecting her to react like she did.
" Senator Eon, you near scared me to death." Ami watched the dark green haired man bow in respect as she sat back down, clutching the cape of her Senshi uniform.
" I'm sorry Councilor Mercury. Her Majesty wishes to know when they can approach the Earth." His glacier blue eyes scanned her worried and tired face.
" Tomorrow." Ami sighed, then turned back to the Earth.
" Are you all right Councilor?" Eon walked up behind her looking at her with concern.
" I'm fine Senator. Just afraid that my mother didn't make it through the thawing. I can't find her anywhere on my cameras. I've spotted many people I used to know, but not her." Tears collected in her eyes at the thought, one slipping down her pale cheek.
" I can't say she's fine Councilor, I hope she is." Christopher Eon wiped the tear from her cheek and left the room to a bewildered Ami.
*****
The screen blinked on and a face of a boy appeared. The name read: Tsukino, Samuel Kenneth. Information scanned to the right of the picture. Darien's eyes scanned over it, noticing that his parents died from Eotaries. For the last seventeen hours the King had had surveillance cameras on the young man, watching what he did and where he went. There was a nagging thought in the back of his mind…Darien wasn't quite sure what it was. But the feeling that something was going to happen stayed there.
Then he felt it happen, three hours later, a slight twinge in his chest that he remembered getting when only one thing happened…

" Queen Serenity are you ready?" Serenity nodded, her hand on her sword. Her silver blonde hair was tied into a high ponytail, a strong dark brown belt was tied around her waist to hold her sheathed sword. Tight black jeans clung to her legs, going down to dark brown boots that matched her belt. A dark red long sleeved shirt disappeared as Serenity placed on a long midnight black duster coat that met her just above the soles of her boots.
" Sere are you sure you just want Mercury with you? Can't you take another Senshi with you?" Artemis was worried, she wasn't allowing him to go with her.
" I'm sure love. Mercury and I can handle anything that comes along. And no I won't use the transformation pen. They'll only sense me sooner. Just stay here and keep Isibo happy." Serenity kissed her husband then her baby girl, making Isibo giggle, unaware her mother was leaving for a day or so.
" Don't worry your majesty. Serenity and I will only be gone two days or less!" Mercury was quite worried herself. She knew that the three on Earth would no they were there. But worried her more is what she might find on the planet, or might not find. Ami adjusted her clothing. The duster she wore was a deep rich brown like her own belt. Her boots were black with blue flames, and her jeans were a dark blue that clung to her long legs. A black turtle neck poked out from the duster to contrast nicely with her now mid back length blue hair, which hung in a low braid down her back.
" Ready Ames?" Serenity smiled nervously, she may be wise but had no idea where this little adventure would lead them. Was her own family alive or dead?
