Chapter 4
Present Day
Yosho, now Katsuhito, watched his grandson Tenchi work in the fields and pulling out weeds. He never forgot his first wife and daughter, but he had fallen in love again after a thousand years, but not as deeply as was his love for Selenity had been. He married and one daughter was born to him, who he had also lost too young and before her his wife. Now he had his daughter's son, his grandson, and Katsuhito was content just a little bit. He always wondered when his Serenity would be reborn. To see her again would be a great joy to him. His Achika had been just like her, always happy and cheerful and lit up everyone's life.
* * * *
Usagi Tsukino sat in class and listened to her teacher lecture on Science and was bored. She recalled her dreams from the night before.
*Flashback*
"Serenity this man is your real daddy." Little Serenity curiously said to her mother's words, "How?" . . . . . . ."Serenity trust your heart." Replied the tall, dark-blue-haired man with violet eyes that was on the table in a room that looked like a hospital.
*Scene Change*
"Serenity I'm going to teach you how to use an energy sword along with your martial arts training with your instructors. Your only six so I'll start easy." "Yes daddy."
*Scene Change*
"I have decided to finally teach you the final technique of your Jurai energy sword." A teenage Serenity looked at her father and asked, "Jurai energy father? What is it?" Yosho sighed and began, "It's. . . ."
*End Flashback*
"Ms. Tsukino are you paying attention? Answer the question." Usagi just sighed much like the man from her dreams and said, "Gravity is the force that pulls everything down toward the center of the earth and gives us the ability to walk on the ground instead of float like in space. It is caused by the by the rotation pf the planet." Teacher and class gaped at Usagi and the teacher stuttered, "Th-that is right Usagi. Very good. Class read chapter 4 and answer the questions at the end. It is due tomorrow. Start now until class is over or turn it in if you get it done before the bell." After that the teacher sat at his desk and contemplated the new development with on Usagi Tsukino. He was sure she had not been paying any attention and was day dreaming, but she answered his question without any hesitation. He just couldn't believe it, but he had seen the prove right in front of his eyes.
* * * *
Usagi raised an elegant eyebrow at the shocked teacher, and then without a word of complaint she read the chapter at an alarmingly fast pace without realizing it and completed the questions at the end all in under twenty-five minutes. She got up and headed to the teacher's desk and the still shocked teacher said, "What is the problem Ms. Tsukino?" Usagi was confused and said, "Nothing sensei. Just turning in the assignment." Before he could say a word the bell rang and Usagi gathered her things and left. The teacher took Usagi's paper and read over it. He looked in his teacher's aid book ready to correct any errors, but found none. The paper was all correct and he found no other papers in the basket to show cheating. For the second time that day the teacher was shocked.
* * * *
As Usagi walked to lunch, she felt different. Her posture was straight, her walk was graceful, her body felt taller, and when Usagi stopped to get a drink in the water fountain, she saw her reflection in the steel tub and gasped. Her hair had more silver in it and shined with a luster that was stunning and almost ethereal, plus her eyes become more violet, though still blue. Usagi then realized that she knew more then her currant self should have. She was smarter to put it simple. Standing there by the water fountain she remembered more of her past on the moon. She remembered how to fight completely and how her skill could rival, if not overpower her senshi.
Usagi quickly looked around for anyone that might see, and finding none she concentrated and from her sub-space pocket she pulled out her energy sword, the Magami-ken. She concentrated and energy laced from the silver hilt and Usagi smiled and said, "I'm back. Thank you father for my hilt. Made from a branch of my Jurai tree. Lunaria come to me."
* * * *
Tsunami/Sasami shot her head up and said, "She lives. Great goods! Her power is so very strong now. Princess Serenity. Lunaria she calls you. For the first time she calls you, but how did she know of you and didn't Serenity perish a thousand years ago?" A silvery voice entered her head and replied, *Yes, but she was reborn here on earth from the past. She remembers everything; had remembered at least half of her past for two years. Her power has fully awakened now.*
Tsunami/Sasami looked around and were confused and asked, *Who are you?* There was a laugh in her mind and a reply came, *Was it not just you Tsunami, the goddess of Jurai, that called to me and said my lady has finally called me.* Tsunami gasped and said in reply, *Lunaria?*
*Yes. What I need you to do for me goddess, is tell Emperor Asuka to make a ship for me. Tell him just to build me and you will do the rest. He'll ask about me, since he never had the pleasure of meeting me thanks to you. Say that the new ship is for Tenchi.*
Tsunami nodded to the voice and the presence was gone from her mind an Sasami had control again. Sasami was well aware of the conversation and now knew about a niece that she and Ayeka had not known about. After the conversation with the Jurai Tree Lunaria Tsunami had revealed the full story and she became angry, not at Serenity or her brother, but at her father, something she had never been. She had not known about that law, though it is null and void now since the Moon Kingdom had been destroyed, if her father had known the people would be reborn it would have still been in effect, but it was null and could not be reinstated, which Sasami was happy about. Sasami thought about the past from Tsunami's point-of-view and realized that Serenity had been only months younger then her, or would have been in Serenity had lived in the past and Sasami and Ayeka hadn't used the suspended animation on their ship in search of Yosho, and because of that stasis Sasami realized also that she was now younger, mentally and physically than Serenity and it was weird for her.
* * * *
Usagi waited for an answer from her tree and got it, *My lady. I must apologize for the delay in my answer to you. My lady I will come to you soon. I must have a special ship made to come to you. I have made the arrangements.*
*Good to hear you again Lunaria.*
*Same my lady. I am glad to know you have regained your full memory.*
*Me to. Anyway I will see you when you come.*
Usagi walked into the lunch room and everyone just stopped. Usagi paid it all no mind as she walked to a table to sit and eat her lunch in her bag at a respectable pace. Five minutes later Minako, Makoto, and Ami walked in and saw her, but they did not immediately recognize her because of her slow eating turned to them and with a large smile said, "Nothing much Mako-chan! Why do you ask?"
"Well Usa, um well, you're eating slowly, respectfully even. You usually don't bother." Usagi kept her smile and replied, "Maybe I decided it was time to grow up. Don't worry about it or me. I'm fine."
"Are you sure? We know that Mamoru broke up with you yesterday and well. . . ."
Usagi closed her eyes while still smiling and said, "It is fine. I thank you for the concern Mako-chan, but it was a mutual break up this time and to tell you the truth, I don't feel bad about it. He loved another and I was not going to go between true love. I knew he and Hitomi were for one another."
"But Crystal Tokyo, Chibi-Usa, destiny?"
Usagi saddened at the mention of Chibi-Usa, but perked up again and replied, "I miss and will miss Chibi-Usa, but destiny was not between Mamoru and I really. I know this I can feel it. Do you guys remember anymore from the past on the moon? I do and I want to call a meeting after school today at four-thirty. I'll call Rei here in a minute to tell her. It will be at the temple. I want it there." The authority in the whispered tone told the three scouts that this was a serious matter. They agreed and Usagi finished her lunch and left the cafeteria to find a safe place to call.
Usagi used her communicator and pressed the red button. Rei appeared and said, "What's the situation odango?" Usagi didn't comment on the name and said, "I want to have a scout meeting after school at four thirty to discuss a few very important things at the temple. We will all be there. I'll call the outers after a bit."
"Fine odango, but will you make it on time? It is only lunch. You'll probably get detention again for sleeping in class or something."
Again Usagi did not comment on the use of the hated nickname and Rei knew something was up, something big. Usagi nodded to Rei and replied, "Don't worry about detention I won't get it. Oh and Mars, do not call me odango again understand." Usagi closed the connection and went to inform the outers.
* * * *
Rei was shocked at the authority the oda. . . .no Usagi had used on her. She had never in all the time she and Usagi had known one another, hadn't known Usagi could use such authority in her voice and Rei realized there had been something different about Usagi. 'There was something, something in her eyes and in her aura, it was the same but with a drastic difference to it.' She could see it over the communicator plus feel the power when she never could before and out of scout form.
* * * *
Rei wasn't the only one to notice the change. The outers noticed it to and Setsuna said, "So she finally regained her full power. I knew it would happen soon." Haruka looked at Setsuna and asked, "Full power? What do you mean? I thought her eternal form was her full power." Setsuna looked at Haruka and said, "Her full heritage has awakened Haruka. Her eternal form is her second to the last most powerful scout form. Anyway, hime was never just Lunarian Haruka, but also part of another powerful race of beings that still exist today, the Jurians. Hime-chan is half-Jurian and half-Lunarian; a combination forbidden by the Jurians in the Silver Millennium, it is no longer forbidden since the Jurians think that all the Lunarians are dead. That law of Jurai had not been in place long before hime was conceived and born. Her father in the past was the prince and heir of Jurai, but went against his father the emperor and married Queen Selenity. He dropped he claim to the throne for Selenity and hime. In the past Yosho, hime's father, had trained hime in her Jurian power, though she had not known that until she was sixteen."
"Why did this Yosho not tell her until then?"
"To protect her Ruka-chan, I know it." Setsuna nodded and said, "Your right Michiru. Protection, plus the queen had placed a block on hime's Jurai powers for the same reason when hime was a baby newly born, because Serenity-hime's power was very powerful even as a baby. The spell wore off when hime was sixteen in the past. The queen did not want anyone from Jurai to know of hime, for she was a forbidden child to the Jurai."
"So now koneko has all her power and ironically she is sixteen now and has been for about six months."
Setsuna nodded in the affirmative to Haruka and said, "That is all what she is going to talk about at the meeting this afternoon. She will reveal more to you than that I am sure." With that last word she opened a portal to the Time Gates and went in, the portal closing behind her.
