Author's Notes:

Okay, this is a crossover between Gundam Wing and Sailor Moon. I think the plot I came up with is fairly original, but that's only my opinion. I don't know practically anything about Gundam Wing, but a close friend of mine does and he will probably be reading this before I put it up on the Internet for some glaring oversights about Gundam Wing. It's like the exact opposite for him. If he writes a SM fanfiction, he gives it to me and I look for glaring oversights. Don't flame me about how I do the characters in Gundam Wing. Like I said, I'm new to the show.

This starts a month after Marie Maia's army is defeated in Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. The Gundams have been destroyed. In Sailor Moon…well, you'll find out. I use references to and use manga attacks for Sailor Moon.

I don't own SM, or Gundam Wing so don't sue me. If you need to contact me with anything, flames, or even a one liner saying the story was good, my email is Guardian4@atlantic.net. Please put Fanfiction in the subject line.

The End Is The Beginning

Chapter 11: The End of Submission

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Haruka was trying to convince herself to relax when Usagi came back down the stairs and entered the room. She was subdued, quiet, and Haruka felt herself resenting it. She also couldn't help resenting her princess for trying to commit suicide with her Space Sword. It had been explained to her that she had reached into her subspace pocket and took it without her notice, though none of the Senshi had realized that another could reach into another's before.

"Usagi-chan, are you all right?" whispered Minako.

The tall Outer wanted to hit their second-in-command. Of course she isn't all right, she wanted to yell, what are you blind? She wanted to do something, let out these feelings of confusion, especially how Heero confused her. He and her didn't seem to work; they would always be at odds. He was cold and reserved, much like herself the Inners had told her when she had brought it up. The Inners had told her that she had acted much the same way when they had first met.

She didn't like the way the Inners and the other four Gundam pilots acted though. She could see the signs. Rei and Wufei, odd with their clashing personalities and beliefs, but nonetheless almost the same; Minako and Duo, though an unlikely pair at first considering Venus was always in control and Venus was committed to her duty beyond a shadow of a doubt and Duo appeared to be a rather relaxed kind of guy, not that fervent about duty; Ami and Quatre, not a surprising pair considering they were both the quiet introverts of their group; and Makoto and Trowa, different enough to give pause, all in all saying that Trowa appeared much like Heero, rather cold and reserved, whereas Makoto was always burning with emotion and showing it.

Heero looked at her and she realized she had been staring at nothing for a long time. She was getting some seriously concerned glances, especially by her Michi-chan. "I'm fine," she assured them, a little vacantly.

How she wanted to fight, do SOMETHING that would give her an outlet for these confusing thoughts. She didn't entirely trust the Gundam pilots, but they needed their help against Beryl.

And that brought more worry. Beryl and Metallia had broken from Princess Serenity's seal. Haruka couldn't help thinking that if the Outers had been there, the power would have sealed her there forever. But it was that arrogance that was causing rifts between the Inner and Outers. She didn't like fighting with them; she was too fond of the younger girls. Once she got to know them, they didn't seem as immature or naïve as she had first assumed they were. Minako had proven that she had what it took to be a leader; Rei had shown that she could control her temper and could impart needed information from her visions; Makoto had demonstrated that her skill in fighting could only go up and was a stalwart protector; Ami had established that while she was shy, she could be forward and stubborn when it was really needed. And Usagi had shown her that she didn't have to be a fighter to be a Queen.

"Haruka-san!" said a voice right in her ear.

She blinked, immediately recognizing that it wasn't Michiru and it WAS a Senshi. Haruka looked up into Minako's worried eyes.

"What?"

"You did it again. You're staring into space again. Nothing brings you around."

She smiled a little, but her green eyes couldn't seem to focus on Minako's face. "I'm fine, Minako-chan."

"You said that the last time, an hour and a half ago."

Haruka lost her smile and glowered at the second-in-command. "That's because I'm fine. If I say I am, then I am."

"What's up with you?" Rei demanded from her seat. "She was just worried about you; you don't need to jump down her throat."

"I…I…argh!" she muttered, dropping her head into her hands. "I need to kill something, preferably Beryl."

"Looks like you got your wish," Trowa told her, listening to a small cell-phone looking thing. "That was Quatre. Your Beryl has attacked the city."

Haruka jumped up and thrust an exultant fist into the air. "YES! Something to kill!" She pulled out her henshin wand and barely glanced at it. The body of it was darker blue than Mercury's and had a small amber jewel at the bottom. Near the top was a small, amber sword encrusted with miniscule tawny stones. Set above that was a small, round, dark amber and silver crystal with a symbol carved into that hard surface. The symbol engraved on Uranus' heart gem on her chest. Amber for Uranus, silver for the protection of the Silver Millennium of course.

"Uranus Space Power MAKE-UP!"

That pale yellow smoke burst from her henshin pen and surrounded her. Stars floated in the background then burst with light, showing Sailor Uranus.* She pulled out her Talisman and smiled a feral grin. "What are we waiting for?" she demanded. "Let's go!"

She burst out the door with the Senshi close behind her. Though she was as fast as the wind, those Gundams had more leg to run with and they caught up with her easy. With barely a blink, they scooped up the Senshi without a pause in their running and headed straight for the heart of city.

Uranus gripped her hands on her Space Sword. This was the end of her submission to fate; she was going to get rid of Beryl her own way and she wasn't going to let something like fate get in her way. She didn't care if it was her fate to live or die; she would do what she wanted.

Mercury and Jupiter were running low on energy to their attacks. Quatre was nowhere to be seen and Uranus felt senselessly angry at his disappearance. She jumped down to land next to Mercury, not feeling particularly generous in her estimation of the pilot. "Where's pretty boy?"

Mercury looked around in harried confusion. "I hadn't noticed he was missing."

"He's coming!" boomed a voice from one of the Gundams. It sounded like Wufei.

"Where is he then?" she demanded.

"He's getting his Gundam, slicer!"

She glared at what he called her and yelled, "Space Sword Blaster!"

It missed the Gundam by mere inches and cut straight into a youma behind it. Wufei was not fooled to thinking that she hadn't wanted to do that to him, but made herself barely shave past him. There was a moment of shared glares and mutual satisfaction and they went back to fighting.

There was more than enough of those Gundam-sized youma to occupy the pilots and Uranus found herself surrounded by those of her sized youma. She delivered a kick straight on the jaw of the one in front of her. It stumbled back, but her flow of creatures didn't abate. She had no time to call on her attacks at all.

The smaller youma numbered more than the larger ones, but it was still enough to push the Senshi back. What they needed, Uranus decided, was a very powerful attack that would get all of the youma at once and kill them. But the only thing coming to her mind was Neo Queen Serenity.

Then it hit her and she smiled. "Someone give me some cover!"

Oddly enough, Wing Zero Gundam came to her request. She raised an eyebrow at the pilot and wiped the sweat off her forehead. Her tiara glowed and her memory was taken over when she had been on her own planet in the Silver Millennium.

She had worn dark blue and gold robes inside of the planetary temple dedicated to Ouranos*, her planet's patron god. The wind whistled in the quiet halls, only her and it there at all. Light came into the center room from the small circular window in the ceiling. It was the final test of her priestess-hood. This would tell if her god had given her his favor.

As before, she raised her arms and the glow from her tiara intensified its blue light. "Aeon Bahamut!" she screamed.

In response there was a loud scream of rage in the sky and a mass of something came and landed behind her. She turned around to see her aeon, its arms crossed and glaring at her shocked enemies. It reached to the Gundams' waists and though it wasn't as tall as those metal things, it certainly had more than enough power to get rid of all of the youma, tall and small.

It looked like a strange dragon, scales of dark blue, black, and gold all over its body. A tale twitched behind it. It's black and scaly wings were unfurled slightly and it had a large wheel set right over his shoulder blades. Rows of teeth peeked out from inside its growling jaws.*

Uranus turned back to the paralyzed youma and moved out of its line of fire. "Bahamut!" she commanded in her loudest voice. "Mega Flare!"

It roared in acknowledgment. Bahamut anchored itself with its four feet, tilted its head up, and fired a massive breath attack the ripped apart everything around it. Fire and an enormous power encompassed the smaller youma instantly. Then it tilted its head up further toward the bigger and taller youma, its power still flowing. All were hit in one instant as he swept his head from side to side to get all the youma.

When the youma were gone, dead and dust, Bahamut straightened and crossed its arms again. Uranus smiled and turned around toward her aeon. It leaned down, she touching the warm, scaly hide. It shrugged her into its embrace and leapt into the sky to show her what the world looked like from above. She had a bond with her aeon, much like that with the Senshi, but she communicated with feelings instead of words, like they all did with their aeons. Feelings were easier to transmit than words.

The Senshi watched her as she looked up at the sky. "Thank you, Ouranos," she murmured, unknowingly using an archaic language that only originated on her planet, Uranus.

She sighed and Bahamut put her on the nearest Gundam shoulder, which turned out to be Wing Zero. Her aeon roared, its head touching her cheek in affection and goodbye a moment later, and flew back into the sky, disappearing.

"What the hell was that?" demanded Duo.

"That was Bahamut, the aeon of the planet Uranus," Venus answered, watching Uranus with interested eyes. Uranus affected not to notice the scrutiny. "It is the manifestation of the planet's spirit, the ability gifted to the royalty of that planet by their patron god."

"Have you filled your need to kill things yet?" asked Trowa dryly as they headed back toward the house.

Uranus looked in the general direction of his Gundam. "Yes."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Haruka stretched her muscles when she entered the house, watching the Inners and the Gundam pilots closely to see if her suspicion was correct. It seemed to be, though she wasn't entirely sure about Trowa and Makoto and Duo and Minako. She thought perhaps the latter couple would run into problems, if they were to become a couple. Venus was duty oriented and rather stiff but calm. Minako was near the opposite and was just managing to get out of Venus' tight thumb. But Minako seemed comfortable with him; Duo seemed to get some amusement, hanging around her. As long as he didn't hurt her, Haruka didn't have a problem with him.

She was fiercely devoted to her friends and would do anything for them. It was one of the things that Michiru teased her about late at night, how fond of the Inners she really was. The tall Outer recalled when she had once said, during the campaign against the Death Busters, that she would never like the Inners ever. Now she couldn't imagine a life without them. Was it because of the returning memories of the Silver Millennium? Well, for whatever reason, she loved them like they were her sisters. She had gone so long without a family, having cut those ties early when she became a Senshi, that she wanted to hold them close to her and never let go.

"Haruka-san?"

She turned to Usagi approaching her. Her small hand touched her arm and her worried blue eyes looked up at her. "What is it, Usagi-chan?"

"I don't feel so good," she muttered, clutching at her stomach. She faltered on her feet and the Outer caught her.

"Princess!"

Everyone turned around quickly at her shocked exclamation. Usagi was writhing around in pain in her arms. "What's wrong?" demanded Minako.

"I don't know. She just said she didn't feel so good."

"Hotaru!"

"Right here," the dark girl responded immediately at the command from her superior. Her hands glowed a pale purple over Usagi's stomach, but nothing happened. The blonde princess jerked forward in the supporting arms and Haruka fell to her knees to better hold on and to hopefully lie her princess down.

"Nothing's wrong with her," reported Ami and Hotaru at the same time.

Suddenly she went limp, sweating in her friend's arms. "Usagi-chan?" Haruka prodded. When she got no response, she asked again more urgently, "Princess? Serenity? What happened?"

"The Earth is being hurt by Beryl," she muttered. "Mamo-chan, he's…he's hurting."

"I get it!" Ami said suddenly. "Usagi-chan and Mamoru-san are linked, so whatever one feels so does the other. Mamoru-san feels the Earth's hurt because he was the prince in the Silver Millennium, his powers are tied to her and the Golden Crystal. He's feeling the Earth's pain and in turn, is transmitting it to Usagi-chan."

"I thought Beryl was in love with Mamoru-san," Makoto said, confused. "Why would she hurt him?"

"I don't think she knows that he's connected with it. Until he got the Golden Crystal and the Dead Moon showed up, the connection wasn't all that strong. It's grown stronger now and she may not know it."

"Whatever it is, we have to stop it," Rei said grimly, still gripped tightly by her fear from what she saw in the fire. "We have to attack Beryl ourselves.

"Gundam pilots, will you help us?"

"Yes," Duo said after looking at his friends for their answer. It seemed to be unanimous when Heero nodded.

"Good because we're launching an offensive as soon as Mercury can find out where Beryl is," Minako said grimly.

End Chapter 11

*First note: Uranus's transformation is the same except now she has a few stars behind her.

*Second note: Bahamut. I chose the Bahamut version from Final Fantasy X. You can find some more information on Bahamut here: is the best Final Fantasy site out there. Everything I used, visuals and such, is the same; therefore it belongs to the creators. Also, all other standard disclaimers apply, such as for SM and such.

*Third note: on the strange spelling. You see, I found this site and it said that another way to spell Uranus was Ouranos. I thought I'd use the spelling to avoid confusion when Haruka was in Senshi form and she was thinking about the god Uranus (Ouranos). Maybe it only confuses you more, dear reader, but I thought I'd give it a shot.
