A/N:Hmmmmm, well, all I can say that the next chapter's the last one. I am still choosing if I should continue with a sequel. I know that the chapters of the senshis's love life were lame. Most of them were when I reviewed my past chapters. Though I have to admit that I have been getting better at writing. All thanks to my English teacher. Well, this chapter is the end to Valsoul.

Yami's POV during when the senshis were in the 'memory zone'
What happened? Is all I can ask right now. All I can remember is everyone running from the growing attack. Also, I saw Usagi almost being destroyed so I jumped in front of her. Now she and all of the senshis are gone. Though I don't know why. She and I had a lot of talk about when she transferred to Domino High.
She always were interested in what I say. Likewise in vice-versa. I might've had a little crush on her. Not because of how she looked. Though she is beautiful. But because of her personality. Yugi always had said I was too serious and antisocial. Though girls still swarm around me like I'm the honey and they're the bees.
Usagi is different. A lot of people had said that to her, I guess. She acts differently. Especially her eating. It's like she somehow shines above the others. She has a kind and bubbly personality, opposite of mine.
I still don't know how I can still communicate with her. You could say that the little crush has grown into a big one. You could say that I love her, I guess. From the inside and not the outside. The problem is that I have absolutely no idea if she has the same feelings.
I have a certain feeling that my 'allies' are keeping a secret about their love life to themselves. I could say that our large group had populated into a large sum of people. Though I still ponder at this question. Who really is Rini's father? I guess everyone had pondered on it and they gaved up on the idea of finding out. Though I could find out but I don't know of Usagi's past. She hadn't spoken much of it.
That was the difficult portion of the problem that he needed to find out who might be the possible father for Rini. Well, Rini inherited her mother's personality, hair shape, eye shape, and ahem height. But she didn't have either Usagi's hair or eye color.
The truth might turn up sooner or later.
Present time
"What do you mean?"she asked, "Going to the Moon was suppose to only help me understand the Egyptians and live, using their ways for awhile."
Pluto nodded, "Yes, but you can't predict when love will happen. Back in Egypt, all nine of you had gone alone. I wasn't present there. I had trusted Haruka and Michiru to watch over you but it seems that they had their own personal affairs to attend to.". She had looked expectantly at the both Outer Senshis. both of hung their heads in shame for not following the rules.
"Like now, all of you had fallen in love. Just like you did in the past. You think people won't know but it shows quite well. "Pluto said.
"For one, the news of the young princesses had disappeared had of course, reached to me. But you didn't think that I won't take advantage of the situation and spoil the fun for you."Valsoul said, "It seemed that my shooting were off and didn't make its mark. It's a pity to see that I hadn't at least shot the pharaoh though. "
Sailor Moon was too caught up with talking with Pluto about serious matters that she had forgotten about Yami. "Yami, are you alright? I'm sorry. I was the practice target for Valsoul, not you"she said as she turned around to look at her savior.
Yami smiled, "I'm fine. What was the light? I was sure it was you silver crystal."
"I believe it was. It showed me and the senshis(Except Pluto) a piece of our past. Though it felt like we were in a different world when we saw out past."she said as she looked at him.
Valsoul stared at Sailor Moon, studying her. What did she see? He hadn't have the slightest clue what had made her silver crystal to react like that. Was it her feelings for the pharoah that made the silver crystal come alive? Of course, he knew of the past clearly. He chuckled to himself. He was the one who started their separation when in the Moon Kingdom.
He held the amulet tightly and let out a strong, laser light that erupted the atmosphere. Everyone turned their heads towards him. Queen Serenity was just standing there and doing nothing. Like a robot. Despite what the creul things she had said to them, she was still being controlled by Valsoul and the only way to free her from his wrath is to defeat him.
(Short A/N: The amulet is called the 'Eternity Amulet'. Stupid, I know.)
Sailor Moon's eyes widen as she felt an object beside her. She relaxed and saw that it was the Moon Sword. She held up the sword in front of her and traced the half dome shape space and then suddenly clutched her brooch. Her silver crystal!
Of course!. It must be her silver crystal. The Monarch of the Moon would hand the silver crystal to the leader of the Sailor Senshis to use. Combine with the Moon Sword.
She ripped her brooch from her chest, to Yami's surprise and the anger of Valsoul. Since she found out the use to the sword. She opened the brooch and placed her hand over the crystal. She closed her eyes and concentrated her energy towards crystal. when she removed her hand, the silver crystal was floating up. She clutched the crystal tightly and placed it in the space.
It fell right into place. A perfect fit! The sword's blade began to glow with a stronger, white color. Valsoul looked disgustly at her, "Even if you found the key to the sword, doesn't mean you could get it to its maximum level".
"Or so you thought."she said as a smile graced on her lips. She had this expression 'I know something you don't'.
She closed her eyes and scrunched her face in concentration. 'Senshis, you read me.'.
'Roger that.'Jupiter joked as her face sounded through her head.
'What is it?'Uranus asked.
'YOu've got a plan?'asked Venus.
'Got that right. Since Pluto was oh so kind to tell us that we were in love in Egypt when we were alive thousands of years ago. Why don't your 'love' and you combine your powers. It forms into one and you'll be transported inside the crystal. That 'might' give us a chance.' Sailor Moon said as she laid out the plan.
'What if it doesn't work?' Mercury asked as she mentally squinted her eyes in suspiously.
'Well, that would be another story, right. If it doesn't work. You'll be trapped in the crystal. With Valsoul in control of my crystal as well.' Sailor Moon as she waited for the impact of voices that was coming on.
'What do you mean?!'. 'What?!' 'It won't happen.' 'A new future then won't be built at all!' . 'The planets won't ever have life on it ever again.'. All these questions and outbursts came all out once. Leaving Sailor Moon and of course, the most mature senshi, Pluto with a massive headache. 'Silence!'came Pluto's direct order. 'Now let Sailor Moon speak'. Sailor Moon gave Pluto a grateful look.
'If we all have confidence to win. We will, I assure you. If we don't, kill me again when we're down in hell. Your love for your boyfriend is strong. I can feel it. I wasn't about to admit this to you guys but I love Yami.'Sailor Moon said firmly with her confession.
'We know.'they said.
Sailor Moon almost broked the conversation. Were her feelings that obvious? Was it as obvious like when she still had a crush on Mamoru? Her thoughts began to feel solemn and depressed.
The senshis could sense her sadness. 'Sailor Moon, if you're thinking about him,it's in the past. He's in the past. Right now, we're discussing how to defeat Valsoul.'Venus said. Being the goddess of love and beauty, her ability allowed her to know these situations.
Sailor Moon mentally nodded, 'So do we all agree that we will work with my plan?'.
'Affirmative'they said.
Sailor Moon opened her eyes and she received confused stares from the people who didn't know what she was doing. Sailor Moon whirled around and gave the senshis the 'eye' signal. The senshis nodded and most of them gave a brief telepathy message to their 'partner' in battle. Anzu and Shizuka doesn't know but they're going to catch on soon. The Starlights understands.
All of the senshis' aura began to show, telling her that they were set. Their 'partner's ' aura shown also. They placed their hands together and their became a small, ball of double color aura. they became smaller when they neared the silver crystal. Soon, Anzu and Shizuka joined in as well.
Sailor Moon smiled. The Moon Sword felt more.......whole now. Helious had also joined in. The Golden Crystal became one with the Silver Crystal when he became a ball of light. 'Luna, Artemis, everyone, help me'she thought.
Both of the gaurdian's head shot up. They felt Sailor Moon's call. Diana felt their call for help. Strangely, Mokuba and Rebecca knew that they were needed because their own aura became as bright as day, just like the others.
The three guardians beckoned the two of them to join in the circle. They did and their energies got transferred into the Moon Sword.
Yami had also transferred his energies into the Moon Sword. But the strange thing was that he didn't turn into a ball of light, like everyone else. "Silver Millennia Age!"she cried as power shot out from the sword. Her eyes widen to see that Yami's hands were on her own. He smiled and nodded.
The two evil couple(maybe) stared as the attack came nearer and nearer. When the attack was close enough to touch them, the Eternity Amulet let out a beam of light, like the sword. It was like a power duel right now. None of the sides seems to be weakening. Sailor Moon thought for sure that this was going to work.
Her mother's words were still in her head, "You won't be able to do this alone". But she wasn't alone, everyone was here. Then, she remembered another thing that her mother had said. "Love is the strongest feeling and power.".
She hadn't felt love in a long time. Sure, her Earthian parents love her and her annoying yet sometimes caring brother had hated to admit that he love her. Her friends were also like sisters to her. They love her. It was the eternally love that's missing. She felt like she was in heaven when she was with Mamoru. But when they broked up, she lost that feeling.
She knew that she loves Yami. In the beginning, she had thought that she had only love Yami as a brother. She kept telling herself that but it didn't work. She looked at him at the corner of her eyes. He was intently looking at the battle rates right now.
It would be a bad time to tell him right now. But, she might never have this chance again. She was about to open her mouth to say somehthing but he whispered something in her ear first.
"Usagi, this might be a bad time to say this but I'll be passing up the chance. I love you."he whispered.
Sailor Moon's eyes nearly popped out when she heard what he said. She almost dropped the Moon Sword if it hadn't been Yami for gripping hard on the sword as well. "Uh, can you repeat that please. I didn't think I heard right"Sailor Moon said.
Yami had a slightly hurt expression when he heard that. That was the pick up line for rejection. Though he was also slightly confused. He was right next to her. She should of heard it. "I said I love you".
"Sugoi?! Because I thought I heard wrong. I love you too."Sailor Moon said, "Not as a brother, okay".
Yami's expression instantly turned different. The Moon Sword brightened up, as if knowing what they just did. Their love for eachother must've strengthen the Moon Sword. Then Sailor Moon's eyes converted back to Valsoul. "Wait!".
The Moon Sword had stopped the attack. "What's wrong?".
Sailor Moon turned around to him. "If we kill him, we'll be no better than what he is. I've seen enough killing in my life.".
Yami then straightened up after he heard that. "But if we don't, he'll kill more people. I can't let that. ".
"I know. Why don't we send him to the most remote planet in the universe?"Sailor Moon suggested. Her eyes held pain, for seeing people die.
Yami's eyes softened. "Your plan could work."
Sailor Moon nodded. "Be lucky that you're not going to die, but we'll be needing your amulet.". With that, the amulet came easily towards her because Valsoul didn't seem to be disagreeing and struggling. "Thank you."she said as she grasped the amulet. She threw it Yami, who easily caught it. Sailor Moon gave the sword to Yami, who looked surprise. She nodded, smiling.
He returned it. He let his Millennium Item's powers flow into the sword and he made a cut in thin air. The cut was red and white. His and Sailor Moon's aura. It began to widen, just enough space for Valosul to go into.
The portal made a sucking noise and the relunctance Valsoul was slowing sucked in. Queen Serenity made a run for the portal, who almost made in if it hadn't been for Yami.
Yami now handed the sword over to Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon heaved a sigh and said, "Mother-".
"I'm not your mother,"Queen Serenity shouted, like a madwoman. "You took my love away from me!"
"He doesn't love you! If he did, he won't have taken your memories away. If I'm not your daughter, then who? Tell me that and don't say that you don't have one. If he loves you, he won't be hurting your family. He trapped your granddaughter and nearly killed her. You don't know what you're thinking right now. All of those memories you have right now are lies, stored into your mind by Valsoul."outbursted Sailor Moon.
Yami was takened back by her sudden outburst. He never would've thought that Usagi could tell the truth that way. Sailor Moon took a deep breath and counted from 10 to 1.
"Now, whether you like it or not, you have to stop living in a lie. It's time for you to know. "she said, "Platinum Moon Change!"
With that order, a platinum colored light escaped from the sword and grabbed a hold of Queen Serenity.Even with her struggle, it was no match for the power of the Moon Sword. She soon stopped struggling when the platinum beam disappeared.
Sailor Moon that it worked because her eyes turned back to kind and caring eyes. "I...... I killed countless people."she said as tears streamed down her face. "Mother?"Sailor Moon asked. Queen Serenity turned towards her. "I almost killed you as well".
"Oh, mom,"Sailor Moon said before hugging her mother. Yami smiled when he looked at them. Sailor Moon had dropped the Moon Sword on the ground. "Usagi, the others are still in the Silver Crystal. You should better let them out.".
Sailor Moon flushed. "Oh, right.".
She stood up and made a gesturing motion towards him. He smiled and placed his hand over hers. The sword glowed (once again. I know, boring, after hearing that phrase for tons of time) as Sailor Moon and Yami stepped back.
The balls of light shot out and grew bigger. Human bodies collasped out of them. Everyone were awake, yet tired. Then Sailor Moon's eyes grew large. "Rini!!!! We forgot about her. Dang it!".
Queen Serenity also stood up, while the rest of everyone quickly got in a fighting stance. She placed her hand on Sailor Moon's shoulders. "She'll be fine. Someone rescued her already.". The rest of the people loosened up and knew that Queen Serenity's back.
"Who?"her daughter asked.
"Her aunt."
"But I don't have a sister or cousin. Do I?"she asked as she sorted out her thoughts of her past.
Then came Queen Serenity's secretive smile.
An explosion noise was sounded through the whole room, which made the whole room turned their heads to the sound. It was Amethysia and her black dragon. Along with Aquarius and his crystaline bird. Do to his element.
What really surprised them was that Chibi Moon was with them and she seemed unharmed. "Rini!"cried Sailor Moon, "Give her back!". She took out the Moon Sword. It was glowing with her aura around it. It was still powerful with her only power. Though it still have some Yami's power in the sword. She pointed the sword at Amethysia's neck.
Suddenly, Chibi Moon jumped down from the dragon and threw herself in front of Amethysia. "No, Mama. They saved me. Even though I don't know why. But I'm indebted to them."
Sailor Moon lowered down her sword and made an expression which clearly said 'explain' on it. She turned to Queen Serenity for the answer.
Queen Serenity simply smiled. "Lilac, can you change back?". Amethysia nodded. She closed her eyes and her body glowed white. The next thing everyone knew was that a lady with the a silver gown was standing there. Her hair was done up in small buns. With hair hanging still. On her forehead was the mark of every children of the moon, the cresent mark.
Almost everyone stood there, astonished. Their mouths were wide open, flies could go in there if they don't close it. Sailor Moon's expression changed to a frown. "Why is the cresent moon mark on her forehead?"she asked. "Her real name is Lilac. do you remember her, Setsuna?"Queen Serenity asked, knowing that Pluto would remember her, at least.
"Duchess Lilac? The cousin of Princess Serenity."PLuto said slowly. Her eyes must be playing tricks on her. Lilac was abducted by Valsoul a long time ago. How did she become a top general for Valsoul?
Queen Serenity nodded. "Serenity, you haven't recovered all of your memories yet. You won't be able to recover much now. You've got a new life and your mind has only room for new memories. You had only two cousins. both were females. Rose is younger than you right now. But Lilac and you were always closer. You might find Rose in the future. Or you might not. When Lilac was captured by Valsoul, everyone on the Moon were devastated. Rose was on Venus when this happened. Every planet was destroyed and Rose was destroyed along with it. But I had reincarnate her to Earth. Valsoul had taken all of her memories away and replaced it with new ones. Just like what he did to me. She had just recently regained her memories when she helped my spirit form escaped.".
"I have other relatives? Besides you."Sailor Moon said out slowly.
Queen Serenity nodded slowly. Had what she told Usagi didn't get clear in her head? She had said that out strangely. "Is something wrong with that?"
"No. I didn't expected Amethysia to be my long lost cousin. Or Lilac, her real name. I've got another cousin, who's name is Rose. Does she go by the same name on Earth?". Sailor Moon asked.
"Yes, she does. She might be surprising when you meet her. But like Pluto, I can't reveal the secrets to the future."Queen Serenity said, smiling and tilting her head towards Pluto's direction. Pluto smiled as well towards Queen Serenity's direction.
"I don't think that there are any more secrets but I would like a word with Yami and Aquarius. Serenity, Lilac, I expect both of you be discussing together. The rest of you, everyone, you can talk among yourselves."Serenity said as she beckoned both Yami and Aquarius closer, farther from the others.
The Queen's Conversation.
"Now, who do you think I should speak to first?"Queen Serenity asked as she looked at the both men. Yami decided to step up from the plate first.
"I will"he said.
Queen Serenity nodded. "Now Yami, I know you confessed to Serenity. But there might be a change in the future. When Serenity was with Endymion/Mamoru, it was said that they are soulmates and they won't ever be apart. They shared a bond. Whenever Serenity's in trouble, Endymion can find her. Vice-versa when Endymion is in trouble. The bond is powerful and are in their hearts. But when Endymion betrayed her, Serenity had cut the bond with her powers. I can't say for sure if Serenity and you are soulmates. But I do know one thing. My grand daughter, Rini is your daughter.".
Yami was listening intently on the conversation and part of it was Usagi's past. When he heard that Rini is his daughter, he almost had faint. She was his daughter! And he was wondering over who it was like crazy before. But Rini's hair and eye color didn't look like Sailor Moon's or the shade of it. But his eyes were red-violet. Rini's eyes are red. His hair are tri-colored. Her hair is pink. His hair is dark pink, black and then yellow. She could've had the red part of his hair. It does make sense, kind of.
"Wasn't Rini suppose to find out first?"Yami asked.
"Technically no. I'm sure she could've guessed. Someone who was her father should be someone close to her mother. Comparing with Serenity's male friends, you and Yugi were the actual choice. Though it couldn't be Yugi because you and Serenity were closer."she said. Yami nodded understandely. The only problem was to tell Rini about this.
Now she turned to Aquarius to question him. "Now, Aquarius, I would like you to watch over Lilac. But it depends if she wants to stay here or go to Earth. She, like Serenity, isn't quite acute to be on her own. You are closer to her that Serenity is because you've been with her these a thousand year, ever since she has been abducted".
Aquarius nodded, didn't need to ask any questions. Queen Serenity smiled gratefully. "Are we all clear and understandable on this?".
both of the men nodded.
Queen Serenity gestured for them to walk back.
When Queen Serenity had told Sailor Moon and Lilac that they should talk about their family relationship, they, with a little bit relunctance, walked off.
When they were far from the others, Sailor Moon made a gesture for Lilac to start. She nodded and said, "I know how you feel about this. I feel the same way. It was hard for me to accept Queen Serenity as my aunt and that my master was actually my uncle who had brainwashed me. Aunt Serenity had given me a choice to stay here and try to rebuilt this place into something good or I could go to Earth with you. ".
"Yes, I would've guessed. I was always close to my mother because she was my only family member, or so I thought. I never realized that I had two more cousins. But you weren't exactly ruthless to us. At least you didn't charge at us without thinking. "said Sailor Moon as her face wore a weak smile.
"Yes. But if you don't want to talk to me or see me, I could always stay here."she suggested.
To Lilac's surprise, Sailor Moon furiously shooked her head. "I don't hate you. You're family. I would like you to live with me. I live in a manision-like home with the other girls. We're watched by Artemis and Luna."she said.
Lilac wrinkled her nose, "As I recall, Artemis had secretly loved Luna with we were back on the moon.".
Sailor Moon's smile grew large as she heard that, "That's right. In the future, they have a daughter named, Diana. Diana is Rini's guardian.".
"I knew it. By the way, what's a mansion?"she asked.
Sailor Moon mentally slapped her forehead. Lilac weren't accustomed to the Earthian people's ways.
"A mansion is a big home. But it's smaller than the Moon Kingdom palace. I heard Mother say that Aquarius is coming with you."Sailor Moon said.
Lilac blinked, "He is?"
"I think so. If you are coming to live with me, Aquarius can live there, as well. But then, you'll have to come to school. But this kind of school isn't like the kind we had on the Moon. This is mainly about education. Like what the boys had to learn as a side thing when we were on the Moon. "explained Sailor Moon briefly.
Lilac nodded, understandly.
"I was also wondering if you remembers how Rose look like?"Sailor Moon asked.
Lilac nodded and said, " Rose has light pink hair, like little Serenity. But her eyes are green, a shade lighter than Makota's. Her hair is in the moon buns as well but she only has a handful of hair left on each side when she has the traditional style on."
Sailor Moon nodded. "At least I'll have a visual aid. So ready to get out of here?"
"Of course. I wonder how Rini's expression would be to find out that her real father is Pharaoh Yami." Lilac said. She didn't miss the bewildered look that crossed Sailor Moon's face.
"Come again?"she asked.
"Yes?"inquired Lilac.
"What did you say just then?"she said.
"That Yami is her father. You had no idea?"she asked.
Sailor Moon shooked her head.
"Aunt Serenity didn't tell you? Well, she didn't exactly had to spell it out for me. I guessed along the way." Lilac said, disbelieving that Queen Serenity would not tell Sailor Moon about this.
"This question has been in my head for almost a year now and I still haven't figured it out. Am I really that of a baka?"Sailor Moon.
The look on Lilac's face didn't tell her an answer. Lilac didn't want to cause for problems for her cousin so she decided to change the subject.
"Let's go back now." and Sailor Moon nodded. Questions and thoughts swarmed in her head as she walked the short distance back to her friends.
At that moment, Queen Serenity and the men were walking back as well. Like Sailor Moon, Yami had an awkward look on his face. Both of these 'parents' was looking uncomfortable and had no idea how to tell Rini the truth.
Queen Serenity smiled and gave Sailor Moon and Yami a telekeneis message, "Tell her when you get back.".
The look on their faces told her that they will. She turned to everyone else and said, "Well, now it's time for me to leave you all. I assure you, this won't be the last time you will see of me. Helious, keep safe of the Golden Crystal. Serenity, from the future, won't be needing it for now. Besides, King Endymion hasn't have the right to keep it now. I will visit before I go back. Take care, all of you.".
With that and a farewell wave, she disappeared. "How should we deal with the driods of Valsoul?"asked Venus.
Lilac turned to her and said, "Don't worry. The droids were created by Valsoul and now Valsoul is powerless, they'll disappear soon enough. This place will collasp on its own soon enough. Without the power of the amulet to hold it up anymore."
Venus nodded. "It's time to go home now." Home, that's defintely a good place to be. No worries.
All of them formed a big circle, due to the size of everyone. Their auras glowed and shown. They disappeared, without being founded. With a determination to get home and with the weight of homework left for them at school. Sigh This is going to take a long time.
Last chapter's going to be up soon, hopefully. Sorry, I'm too lazy so I'm too lazy to type down how Haruka and Marik will get together. The last chapter would say that they're together and all that junk. Gomen to Marik and Haruka fans. Ja. Signing out Anime Star Tenshi.
