I don't own any character created by Naoko Takeuchi.....
The senshi now had hope that this princess from the future would be able to help them defeat Lady Nightmare and the other three Negaverse creatures.
Super Sailor Chibi-Moon yelled "Twinkle Yell!" causing a transparent Pegasus to come galloping from the sky. The Pegasus charged towards Black Lady and lowered its horn, goring her right in the stomach. Bright light shone from the wound, and Black Lady exploded, screaming in sheer pain.
The Pegasus turned around and galloped back to Super Sailor Chibi-Moon and she petted him.
"Thanks Helios!" she giggled as she got on his back to watch the others fight.
Super Prince Orion pointed at Hate and shouted "Dawn's Salvation!" Pure white light exploded from inside of Hate and he disintegrated into nothing. Super Prince Orion swung his sword around his head and brought it down in front of his face in victory.
Mistress 9 was beginning to annoy Sailor Tigress, the super senshi form of the Tigress. Sailor Tigress looked straight into Mistress 9's eyes and began putting Mistress 9 into a trance. As Mistress 9's head lolled, Super Sailor Saturn took this opportunity to attack.
"Silence Glaive Surprise!" she yelled, pointing her glaive at Mistress 9.
All the other senshi were silenced by these words, scared. There was a pause of complete and utter silence, and then a deafening boom rang in all their ears. When the noise faded and the explosion cleared, Mistress 9 was no more.
Only Lady Nightmare remained, and Princess Hikari waved her hand in the air and a rod appeared.
She grasped it and shouted "Twilight Rod!" Holding the rod firmly as pale light emitted from it, she beckoned all the senshi to help her.
One by one, the senshi grabbed the Twilight Rod and the light got brighter and brighter. Then the bright light became a beam as Super Prince Orion placed his hands on the other girl's, the last senshi to do so. The beam struck Lady Nightmare and she screamed, the palace walls shaking.
After what seemed like forever, Lady Nightmare faded away, leaving the building in ruins. All the senshi let go and when they did, a disembodied voice spoke.
Turning around, the senshi found it was no disembodied voice, but Queen Serenity and, beside her, Neo-Queen Serenity.
"Mama! Grandmama!" Rini shouted, running towards the two.
When she collided with them she was transformed into Small Lady, Princess of the Moon.
"Hello sweetheart." Neo-Queen Serenity said, embracing her daughter.
Queen Serenity spoke to the senshi, saying: "Princess Hikari is my daughter, and would have been earlier if Queen Beryl would not have stolen her star seed. I am sorry that she never had a real childhood, whether as a princess or Tiana. I cannot give her a true past, but I can give her a future. When the time has come, Sailor Twilight will become Princess Hikari again and go to the City of Twilight. Yes, there is a City of Twilight, Hotaru." she said, answering the look of amazement on Hotaru's face, "Sailor Saturn and Sailor Chibi-Chibi will become Saturn and Cosmos, maidens of the princess. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune will also be there as Uranus and Neptune, other maidens to the princess. The Tigress will be Hikari's advisor, and, yes, Prince Orion will be Princess Hikari's husband." With that, Orion and Hikari blushed furiously.
Then Neo-Queen Serenity added "Helios has been sent from Elysion to court Rini before she comes to the Moon Kingdom when the others go to the City of Twilight. Three others will be sent from Elysion to court Hotaru, Ci-Ci, and Oriana, but I will not tell you who they are, that must be discovered on their own. Many challenges await the senshi, but do not despair; all shall be good in the end. At times, Sailor Uranus or Sailor Neptune will come from watching over the City of Twilight to help when it is needed. For now, just fight for the future and those who need you."
After she finished talking, the Pegasus transformed into Helios and his age was reduced to sixteen to match Small Lady's. Small Lady became Rini and ran to Helios, and Helios swept her up in a warm embrace. All the other senshi became their teenage forms and waved goodbye to Queen Serenity and Neo-Queen Serenity as they faded away.
"Well, I suppose we should head home, Sora will be worried if she does not see us soon." Tiana suggested. Sora Hitohana was Tiana's best friend and the only non-senshi to know they were sailor scouts. She worried every time they left for a fight, not wanting to lose her best friend.
"Yeah, imagine explaining Orin, me, Tenshi, Ryu, and Kaze to her, that will be fun." Helios said.
"What?!" Ci-Ci said, as the others girl stood in shock, Ci-Ci could talk! Helios had mentioned three names, but only Tiana caught them, and she smiled.
"He said ' she will think you are crazy', when I tell her about Orin and Helios." Tiana quickly covered up, smiling at Helios.
She knew about the three from Elysion, but kept it a secret, as her mother and sister commanded. Relieved that she could go home and forget about evil for at least a while, she turned to Orin and kissed him squarely on the lips.
"Well, if we are going to be married one day, I might as well not complain." Orin said as he kissed her, while all the others laughed.
Helios looked at Rini, and then, without warning, kissed her. Rini just giggled and threw her arms around his neck as he dipped her, Hotaru and Ci-Ci applauding.
"You'll never catch me in that romance stuff, I have issues with long-term relationships as it is." Oriana huffed, turning around and leaving the room.
The others soon followed, and as Tiana exited last, she whispered "Now I know more than I have ever known in my entire life, and I have great friends who will be there for me. Is that what being a princess is all about?"
"Probably," Hotaru whispered, causing Tiana to jump. Hotaru was listening to Tiana and added, "I did not know that the City of Twilight actually existed, I just thought that it was a fantasy place of my dreams. But now ai o shinjiteru, yume wo shinjiteru, minna wo shinjiteru, I believe in love, I believe in dreams, I believe in everyone." And with that, Hotaru put her arm around Tiana's shoulder as they headed home.
