Chapter 14

Eternal Sailor Moon sank to her hands and knees. Her breathing was hard as she looked at all of the scouts. The four inner scouts rushed to their beloved princess' side and wrapped their arms around her.
"Welcome back, Sailor Moon," cried Venus.
"It's good to see you guys, everyone of you," said Sailor Moon as Jupiter helped her up.
"It's been too long," said Mercury.
"Yeah, where have been all of these years," spat Mars.
"Mars!" yelled Venus.
"Hey, I've been very busy!" snapped Moon. "Back off, Mars!"
"Why should I? You left us to fight off all that threatened the planet!" hissed Mars.
"Enough!" yelled Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter.
Mars and Moon looked at the three and then back at each other. "I missed you too, Raye," said Moon with tears in her eyes.
"So did I," said Mars as they gave each other a hug.
"Let's get out of these suits before someone sees us," said Moon.
Everyone agreed and transformed back into their street cloths. Jennifer was sitting on the ground along with all of the other Zodiac scouts. The four young men that were fighting with the inner scouts stood to the side in a small group of their own.
"I've missed all of you," said Serena, to her amazement her hair was in buns instead of a ponytail. "Who are the guys?"
"Oh allow us to introduce you to the Sailor Princes," said Mina. "This is Ace, Prince Venus, Greg is Prince Mercury, Chad is Prince Mars, and Ken is Prince Jupiter."
"Oh wow," said Serena. "So there is a Prince for every scout."
"Not exactly," said Ken. "Just for these four scouts. The outer scouts don't have princes."
"What about the other scouts in the other universes?" asked Sarah.
"We don't know yet," said Greg. "Our memories haven't been fully restored."
"Hey, Serena," said Mina. "Why don't you introduce us to these young ladies."
"Oh yeah," said Serena. "Girls stand up please."
The girls all stood up and arranged themselves in alphabetical order of their scout name. "This is Sarah, she's Sailor Aquarius, Alex is second command, she's Sailor Aries, Tory is Sailor Cancer, Michelle is Sailor Capricorn, Jennifer is Sailor Gemini, Kei is the leader and she's Sailor Leo." Each girl tipped their head and said hello. "Lena is Sailor Libra, Megan is Sailor Pisces, Atsuko is Sailor Sagittarius, Lisa is Sailor Scorpio, Lyne is Sailor Taurus, and Katherine is Sailor Virgo. Together they are the Zodiac Scouts."
"Wow there are more scouts out there than just us," said Mina.
"Of course, don't you remember the Starlights and Sailor Galaxia and all of her scouts," said Amy.
"Yeah, but I didn't know that there were more scouts here on Earth," said Mina. "I wonder how they are all doing anyway. I mean the Starlights and the reborn scouts that Galaxia killed."
"Why don't you ask us instead of talking to the air," a cynical voice said.
The scouts all turned towards the road that led into the clearing. Standing there were four silhouettes. As they came closer, it was easier to see who they were. It was the Starlights and their princess.
"Princess Kayuu," said Serena. "Seiya, Yaten, Taiki."
Princess Kayuu was a tall elegant woman with floor long bright red hair that she kept in two loops with the rest flowing to the ground. She was wearing an ankle long red skirt with a white floral tank top and black high heal shoes.
Seiya was a tall and muscular young man with waist long black hair, in a ponytail and deep blue eyes. He was wearing a pair of jeans, a dark blue t-shirt, and a pair of black tennis shoes.
Yaten was an average height young man who was a little muscular with waist long gray hair, in a ponytail and soft green eyes. He was wearing a pair of black slacks, a soft gray t-shirt, and a pair of black loafers.
Taiki was a tall and muscular young man with waist long brown hair, in a ponytail and purple eyes. He was wearing a pair of jeans, a red long sleeved shirt, and a pair of blue tennis shoes.
"Hello, Princess Serena," said Seiya as they stopped before her. "It has been too long."
Serena could feel her cheeks burning as she looked into his deep blue eyes. "Yes, it has been too long hasn't it, Seiya," she said turning her attention to the other princess. "It's good to see you again, Princess Kayuu."
"It is good to see you in good health, your majesty," said Kayuu with a curtsy.
"There is no need to bow to me, Princess," said Serena with a smile. "Why are you all here?"
"We have been watching your planet for some time now," said Taiki. "A few days ago we noticed a large nega-reading."
"Oh my," said Amy.
"We thought it would be a safe idea to come and help you incase of something huge happened," continued Taiki.
As all of the scouts talked, Kacy had led Darien into the forest. She was at the edge of the forest when she noticed Serena, her mother. Before she could take another step forward, Darien scooped up his young daughter and took her back to the park where he called his fiancée on the communicator.
"Hey, Serena," said Darien.
"Oh hey, Darien," she said. "What is it?"
"I've got a little situation that needs your attention," he said.
"Now now now!" yelled Kacy.
"She's coming, I promise," Darien said.
"I'm on my way," said Serena. "Girls, I've got to go. I'll see you later."
"Yes ma'am," said Kei.
"What is it, Serena?" asked Mina.
"It's my cousin," lied Serena as she ran back to the park. "See you guy around."
"Serena, wait," called Seiya as he looked at his Princess.
"Go," she said to him.
Seiya nodded and ran after Serena. He caught up with her quickly as she ran through the forest.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" he asked her.
"I just do," she said as they arrived at the park.
Serena jumped down off the stone wall and looked around. There sitting on a park bench was Darien and Kacy. Darien looked up and set Kacy on the ground.
"What is it?" asked Serena, as she Seiya reached them.
"Mommy," said Kacy with tears running down her eyes.
"I don't know why she's crying," said Darien. "She ran into the woods and I caught her before she ran to you and the others."
"Good thing," said Serena as she picked up Kacy. "What's wrong, honey?"
"Daddy wouldn't let me go over to you," said Kacy.
"Kacy, you shouldn't have gone into the forest without Darien," said Serena. "It's dangerous for you to do that. Anyway, I was having a talk with my friends so I didn't want you to interrupt."
"Do you understand now, Kacy?" asked Darien. "It was something very important to Serena and she needed me to watch you while she was doing her important thing."
"I understand," said Kacy as she laid her head on her mother's shoulder.
"So this is your daughter," said Seiya.
Darien looked at Seiya for a moment with a horror struck look. "What do you want?" he asked, standing up.
"It's okay, Darien," said Serena. "This is Seiya. He's a scout."
Darien looked Seiya up and down. "Seiya, will you please promise me that you will not say a word to anyone about this?" asked Serena. "This needs to be kept quiet and if anyone finds out then there's going to be trouble."
Seiya looked at Serena and smiled. "Of course, I will keep this a secret," he said.
"Thank you, Seiya," said Serena.
"Mommy, who is this?" asked Kacy.
"This is Seiya," said Serena.
"Is he my uncle?" she asked.
Serena looked at Seiya. "Yes, I'm your Uncle Seiya," he said. "Can I hold you?"
Kacy let go of her mother and allowed Seiya to take her into his arms. She laid her head on his shoulder and fell asleep. "How cute," said Serena.
"Hey, Serena," said Darien. "I've got to get to work. So I'll see you tonight."
"Okay," said Serena. "Bye."
"I'll walk you two home," said Seiya.
