*** I know you all love my Saturn fic.. You all 4 reviewers! Much love felt in this story! Hehe.. this is for you! Enjoy the chapter! ***

Saturn looked upon the city below with little pity in her eyes. She could care less about the families she was about to tear apart. The feelings that would stop. She didn't care anymore. The taboo she was breaking that even surpassed that of stopping time. For this she would be stripped of her senshi title. In her years away she had traveled the galaxy gaining knowledge where she could. The one thing that kept her going; lost. Within her grasp at one time and she let it slip through her fingers, "How foolish am I?" she sighed out loud to the world.
Saisei looked to Serenity, "Do something!" Serenity shook her head and downcast her eyes, "Saisei.. The Earth's fate is in the hands of her now. She is the judge of life just as much as she is the judge of death. To fight it would be useless." He just wouldn't take no for an answer as she turned to the Other Senshi. They too looked away from him as if ashamed knowing even if they had the power to stop her. They couldn't do it.
Soon came along three new senshi never seen to Saisei. They didn't even acknowledge him funning straight to the Queen, "Princess" (A/N: I love the outers calling her princess.. its kawaii) Neptune had spoke first, "we saw Hotaru but we didn't see Saisei. Is he alright? Safe?" the boy blinked and looked over the other senshi.. Of course he had never met them before. He would have remembered such a meeting. Their forms not as casual as the inner senshi but much more serious. Serenity nodded and looked over to Saisei, "He is alright." The outers looked at him as if he was glass and could break at any time, "Saisei?" Uranus has questioned him and he could only find it in his actions to nod twice making a yes. Then he was embraced into a hug, "When you and Hotaru were taken all those years ago we feared to never see you again. Only you are safe.. And a knight of Saturn." She patted him proudly on the shoulders. Saisei gave her a confused look upon his face, "Who is Hotaru?"
Haruka blinked a few times, "how could you forget your own mother?" Saisei shook his head and looked over to Rei, "she is my Okasan." Rei couldn't take it much more, "No.. Saisei Uranus' words are true. The story is long and to difficult to explain in this moment in time but Hotaru is your birth mother. I only took you in as my own."
A new feeling raised in him. The years he thought he knew this person as his mother were shattered in seconds. The look of shock in his face was indescribable. Looking back to the goddess of death he watched, "she is my Okasan?" no one answered but he was already told. Haruka shook the poor boys shoulders, "Saisei.. listen to my words. Hotaru's a person who was not granted the simple life we were all granted and for that her Heart forever sways upon the edge of a knife. One slip in her emotions can send it over and into darkness. The darkness is enveloping her and nothing we can do can stop it." She paused as he looked to her, "Only you can. You share the same power, same bond in life as well as in destiny. Even thought you have been apart your entire life the bond of a mother and her child never fades."
He didn't know what to do. He wanted to hate his mother for abandoning him, yet reach out for her to embrace him. He wished that things were as they were earlier that morning. Rei was his Okasan and Saturn was only in his dreams. Yet he knew it was selfish thoughts. Nodding in reassurance he called out to him, "Okasan!"
She heard the words yet ignored them on his first attempt, "Okasan Listen to me! I know what has happened in the past will never make up for things now but why resort to ending-"he was cut off by another burst of her energy as the ribbons exploded further out of the limits of Tokyo and as far as the eyes could see and beyond. The earth was now in a massive Earthquake and buildings started to crumble to the ground. Fear was setting in fully on them all. Only once had they seen such an attack. The outers had seen it twice. The world will befall to the silence.
Saturn looked to Saisei who called him mother. She was beyond that though. Nothing could bring a stop to the Armageddon that was creeping the planet, "You call me by the name I have always wanted to hear. Yet I choose this end with no regrets. I shall break the taboo of my duty and for that be banished and striped of my power." She looked to her glaive high above her head and smirked, "Well old friend this is where we shall part again yet this time I will not come to seek you when you will be needed again." She allowed a single tear escape her left eye.
Then Hotaru appeared in a ghostly image before Saturn, "Saturn-Chan. We can stop this. Do you really wish for the world to parish over something it had no choice over?" Saturn's eyes softened slightly; something that never happened, "Hotaru.. I wish for this end." Hotaru shook her head, "Well I don't! I hoped things different but they didn't. I will force you to stop if this continues!" Saturn had shook her head, "The attack is in the final stages. It can not be stopped and I will not have it stop." Hotaru, "Gomen Saturn but I will stop this." The ghostly image of Hotaru disappeared back into Saturn's body. Then the girl looked as though she was in pain wincing slightly, "Hotaru stop this!" Saturn screamed out to the world. Serenity knew there was still hope. Hotaru was much stronger then believed.
Into Saturn's thoughts Hotaru spoke up, 'I fought off Mistress nine and I can do the same to you.' Saturn winced again as Hotaru forced control, "I will not let you! This world will fall into Silence! There shall be no Rebirth for these people! All will feel my pain!" Hotaru continued her struggle winning the battle, 'and you think you are in more pain then I?! Then you are more foolish then believed!'
A bright light caused everyone to shade their eyes. Then; once faded they looked up and Saturn was replaced by Hotaru. In her Princess gown it was violet in color. Strapless that hugged her body until it spread towards the bottom. her pure heart crystal, that was so commonly seen in the center of her bow on her chest was now located on the Silence Glaive; between the dip in the center (A/N: I might draw a pic of it and if I do I shall let you all know. I mean in meh head it looks like breathtaking.). a soft and soothing aura surrounded her as she looked below her. The world was not lost but it was torn. The buildings crumbled and many lives were lost in the destruction.
The look on Hotaru's face was pity, shame and sorrow for what had occurred over the past moments. Looking to her Glaive she held it high above her head as the soft glow that surrounded her expanded as she chanted the words, "With what I took, I shall replace. With Death I shall grant Life and all shall be as it once was!" the light almost became unbearable as the warm light engulfed everything in site.
The senshi had never felt such a feeling. Such love for life was filtered through them. Was this her true nature? Was this the real Saturn? Saisei looked to her as long as his eyes would allow then as soon as it started the light was gone. And Hotaru was still looking wide eyed to her staff. Her hands brought it level with herself although it still towered over her; she looked to the others below, "All was saved and none forgotten." She smiled weakly before the feeling of being drained had struck her. With a gasp she closed her eyes and fell into a unconscious state. Then her body once suspended in air started to fell to the ground.
Saisei and Haruka were first to react but Saisei was closer and still faster. He jumped into the air and met her part way clutching him in her arms. Her body colder and paler then it normally was. Her breath was shallow but steady. Her glaive was still clutched tightly to her hands yet he was able to pry it off of her fingers easily before her hand hung lifeless to her side. Haruka reached him and looked over her while the others were catching up, "she used up a lot of energy." Haruka commented and Saisei blinked and looked to her confused so Haruka continued, "Hotaru's power is so great that using it once could leave her helpless or dead. The thing is that's odd is that the attack was not complete. The destruction stopped before it fully consumed the Earth and the Rebirthing process began. That is what spared her life this time although I cannot say what will happen when she will have to face judgment."
Saisei blinked again, "judgment?"
Haruka nodded, "Yet she looks to be asleep she is not. Her soul.. Or souls (A/N: Remember multiple souls; one body.) have yet to face judgment for the crime she committed. My Hime is going to have a tough time in her near future and this is something she will have to face alone like many things in her existence." She sighed looking to the still lifeless body.
