Rating PG13

By: Psycho4moon

Usagi woke up to the sound of arguing, "How could you not prepared her more?" "I've prepared her as well as I could, she just was under a lot of stress, Serenity." Usagi slowly opened her eyes and saw her mother and father standing in the far corner neither one paying attention. She turned to on her other side when she felt a gentle squeeze on her hand. There sat Endymion hunched over her with a worried expression looking as cute as ever.

"You had me and everybody else really worried," he whispered so her bickering parents couldn't hear.

Usagi tried to speak but found her throat was to dry and sore. Endymion handed her a glass with water. She drank as much as she could before it hurt too much; she finally managed to squeeze out, "sorry."

"Its okay love, it wasn't your fault." Endymion reached out and Usagi immediately remembered that Beryl went after him and flinched from his touch, "Beryl?"

"Yes, she found me but luckily I was with your father so she couldn't do anything, I'm just glad your okay. Usagi opened her mouth to speak but no sound came, "Ssh don't try to speak, save your strength, try to go back to sleep. Usagi slowly nodded her head and closed her eyes, after awhile her breathing slowed and she was asleep. Endymion pulled back her collar to revel two bruises that circled her neck. Endymion's face contorted in rage, he swore to himself that Beryl would pay for this, he would see her dead personally.

Usagi awoke some time later, this time to silence. She looked over and saw Endymion sleeping in the chair a few feet away. She couldn't help but smile, she was in love and she knew he loved her. Her throat wasn't as sore but she still couldn't talk loud enough to wake him. She pulled back her covers and tried to walk towards but found that her legs would not hold her. She came crashing to the ground with a surprised yelp. Endymion at the sound of distress jumped out of his seat and looked around for any danger. Instead he saw his Usako on her stomach pushing herself up.

"What on this Earth were you trying to do?"

Usagi gave a defeated sigh when she couldn't stand, "I was trying to wake you up."

"Do you need help?"

"Would you mind?"

Endymion laughed, "If my lady wishes it then it will be my pleasure."

"Oo your such a sweet talker."

Endymion grabbed both of her hands and pulled, which cause her to fall onto his chest, "only for you." Endymion lifts Usagi's chin and looks in her eyes, "Have I told you that I love you."

"Have I told you me too?"

"I'm so sorry that I ever hurt you."

Usagi put her fingers to his lips, "Ssh everything is in the past now, I love you and nothing can change that."

"When this war is over, I swear we'll have more time together."

"I'm happy with whatever we can get." Endymion slowly lowers his face and captures Usagi's lips in a gentle but passionate kiss. Usagi wraps her arms around Endy's neck and opens her mouth to his. Endy invaded her mouth as he invaded her heart, with a fierce but gentle loving passion. Endy leads Usagi to the bed and gently lays her down, finally breaking the kiss. "My princess, my Usako, I love you so much. I don't know what I would have done had you not come in my life."

A few tears escaped Usagi's eyes, she raised her hand to trace his face, "My Prince, my Endy, you're the light that fills my eyes, you're the sound that fills my ears, your love is the only nourishment I need, you have my heart, my soul and my life. I love you." Endymion leans down for another kiss but is interrupted by the door slamming open. Jadeite stood at the door shocked.

"What!" growled Endymion.

"I'm sorry but Merlin sent me to find you and Usa… I mean the princess, there's a fight."

Endymion jumps off the bed bring Usa with him, "Go to your father, Jed help me get my armor on." Usagi leaves but soon comes running back and gives a farewell to kiss to Endy, "I'll see you soon."

Jadeite smiles and winks at the prince, "So I guess things are back to normal between you two eh?"

"Oh shut up and help me with this." Jadeite laughs and helps his prince get ready for the impending battle. Usagi sees her father and mother in the great hall with four other girls and the other three generals. Serenity ran up to her daughter and gave her a huge hug, "I'm glad you're feeling better but we need you. I wish I had time to properly teach you the crystal but just go with what your heart says. To transform you just need to say moon cosmic power. In this form you'll be able to use the crystal and still be able to perform magic, but I must warn you if you use the crystal too much it will take all of your energy, please be careful."

Usagi nodded her head and looked at her father, she had never done anything without him near. She was scared, "Father?"

Merlin embraced his daughter, "I am needed here but don't worry my child just call and I will be there. I'm always right beside you just like in training. Now you must go."

With tears leaking fearing this would be the last time she saw her father, Usagi nodded and followed the generals and the strange girls in skirts. While running Usagi took a good look over the girls, for some odd reason they seemed familiar. The first one in line and obviously the leader had long blonde hair that fell to her knees held back by a red bow. She wore a gold suit uniform with a chain wrapped around her waist. The next girl had short blue hair wearing the same suit as the other except hers was blue and instead of heels, this girl had boots. The next girl had the same suit but only red and she had long blackish, purplish hair. The last girl had mid-length auburn hair pulled into a ponytail and she was wearing a green suit. Where had she remembered these girls? The crystal allowed her memories to flow; five young girls sat in a garden picking flowers for their mothers. The girl with silver hair giggled with glee as she held up a pink rose. "Look I found a pink rose in with the white. Pink is my mom's favorite wait till she sees. The little girl ran into the house, joy putting an extra leap in her step. "Mommy, mommy look what I found. Mommy?" The little girl searched the house and came back out to the gardens to find her father standing in the middle.

"Their all gone Usagi."

Usagi looked at her father with light blue tear streaked eyes, "Why, doesn't mommy love me anymore?"

"My dear child, one day, I hope, you will understand."

Usagi blinked away the memory and thought about her father, "Thanks dad." They stopped in an open field where five horses waited for them. Usagi looked around confused, where they going to have to share horses? The girl in blue, Ami she remembered, grabbed her hand and led her away from the horses. "Come Serenity we will teleport to the spot, the men will meet us there." The girls formed a circle and knelt on their knees, Usagi not sure what to do followed their lead. Their palms touched and Usagi felt the energy flowing through them.

"Mars Planet power!"

"Mercury Planet power!"

Venus Planet power!"

Jupiter Planet power!"

Moon power!"

Colors shot through the sky, red, blue, gold, and silver. When the light faded the field was empty, a few miles away the same lights shot down and five girls appeared. Usagi looked around, houses were burnt down, and fields and trees were scorched. Anger welled up in Usagi, how could anyone do this. Beryl would pay and she would she it done.  Usagi looked over to where a village once stood and saw black clouds rolling along the ground coming at them in the distance.

"Yomas."  Usagi looked over at Rei and saw a murderous expression in her eyes, probably the same one she had in hers.

"What are yomas?"

"People that Beryl has used to do her fighting, their hideous creatures." Makota came up behind Usagi and put her hand on her shoulder, " I know what you thinking right now and believe me nobody wants to kill innocent human beings, and we try not to but some times things happen, don't worry everyone will be fine."

Usagi, thought for a moment and then knew what she had to do, even if it took most of her energy, "we need to hold out till the guys come, we need to get to an open area, so there is no surprises.  You guys knock them out and I'll try to heal them."

"Serenity you can't, there are just too many, it could be dangerous."

"I do what I must Minako, now quickly go they're almost here."  Usagi looked out, no longer was it a black cloud but she could see their faces.  Hundreds of people, creatures, coming at them with such hatred expressions on their faces, all wanting to kill them, Beryl had taken innocent lives and made them vengeful beings, she would die.  The girls formed a square around Usagi concentrating on the battle that was about to take place.  Usagi heard an evil crackle, "Do you really think you can defeat me and my armies?"

"Why don't you come out and fight me!"

"My dear I have much bigger fish to fry.  I'll tell Endy you said Hi."

"Beryl!"

"Usagi don't worry the Prince will be fine."

"Thanks Ami."  Usagi embraces her, "I couldn't live if anything happened to him."

"I hate to interrupt, but get ready they're here!"  Usagi whirled around and saw the mass of bodies coming in ever direction.

"Mercury Ice Blast!"  A line of the bodies stopped moving, frozen in their steps.

"Moon Healing Escalation!"  The frozen bodies fall to the ground, their shapes turning to normal.

"Sailor Moon, behind you!"  Mars watched in horror as her princess was attacked from behind and she couldn't do anything.  Usagi lay stunned on the ground only for a second before jumping into action.  She flipped over and glared into two deep dark blue eyes, "Endy?"

Like I said the new chapter has been started and I hope to get it out soon.  Please review, thanks.
