Journeys Anew
By: YingFaLi003
Dis: I don't own Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura. I do own a few characters of the story. I would like to give a special thanks to Ms. Sakura Moon for thinking up the transformations and attacks for the Generals. Also I see that this story is coming to an end and I want to say thank you to all the readers and especially the reviews whose comments make me a better writer.
Chapter 14
Syaoran and Endymoin quickly lay the two down. Amy began to run her scanner over them. While she did Zoysite checked their vitals. Soon they both had an explanation.
"Their pulses are close to nonexistent their breathing almost too shallow to tell," Zoysite said grimly.
"What are you saying?" asked Kimari tears forming in her eyes.
"They're dying as we speak," he said softly. Everyone gasped.
"What can we do?" asked Endymoin.
"Nothing," said Amy. "Their crystals have been fractured. Luckily they haven't shattered or their lives would have been forfeit right away. We don't have the power to revive them right now all we can do is ride this thing until we do," she explained.
"That could take forever," said Venus.
"Yes unfortunately," said Zoysite.
"This will not do at all," said a voice from behind them. There stood Eriol in a nice silk long sleeved high necked shirt with a pair of silk slacks. Kimari jumped up with a strangled cry.
"Oh Eriol it's terrible we can't wake them up," she said she said. Eriol looked to Syaoran and Endymoin who both looked at him with a lost look in their eyes.
"We have a plan we hope will work," he said giving them hope that clearly showed in their eyes. The others gathered their friends who had been used in the attack and went back to Eriol. Syaoran and Endymoin stood with the girls carried bridal style. Eriol lifted his sun moon staff and in a flash the group was gone. Eriol first stopped on Earth where they left each of the hostages in their homes in bed before they were transported to Crystal Keep. Once there the groups powered down except for Sakura and Serenity who life was still hanging on by a string. The first to greet them was Nadesiko and Serenity who came at a full run. The others were right behind them. Tomoyo was already dissolved in tears. Kimari went to her immediately and enveloped her in a hug.
"Come we have the informatory ready for them," said Nadesiko after taking one look at her little girl. Syaoran and Endymoin went right after her. Serenity walked along with Endymoin here eyes worried. They quickly sat them down on the beds as Fugitaka and Apollo came up with their wives. The rest of the group stood back. Yelan, Leo, and Sonomi stayed.
"Why don't you go freshen up I'm sure you will all need it," said Yelan. Syaoran looked as if he was going to argue but a swift look stopped him and Endymoin at once. Ryu and Kunsite pulled the two out the room.
As they waited the scouts, generals, Darien, Syaoran, Ryu, and Kimari showered before they met in the dining room to try to eat lunch. The scouts, generals, and Darien were introduced to the rest of the Chosen Ones. They also caught up with the Outers, Starlights, and Chris. They were just finishing off the details when Crystal entered the room.
"Their Highnesses have finished and retire to their rooms. The procedure left them slightly drained. They suggest that everyone take a short rest for there will be a meeting this evening," she said. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief before departing. Syaoran and Endymoin stayed until everyone left. Crystal smiled and hugged Syaoran around the waist.
"Their Highnesses have expressed that you may want to see them. If you will follow me I'll talk you to them but they will be asleep for some time," Crystal explained. She took them to the room where the girls had been changed. Sakura now wore a pair of pink slacks with a green long sleeve high neck shirt with pink cherry blossoms scattered around it. Serena now wore a long sleeve white dress that stopped about her calf. The boys quickly went to their sides.
"At least she didn't do it by herself this time," Syaoran said.
"I was so scared she wouldn't make this time," said Darien. "Unlike all the other times we had someway to help her right away but this time I thought I would really lose her," he said. They stayed a while longer before departing leaving a kiss on their foreheads. They retired to their rooms for a short rest filled with dreams of their beloved.
Sometime that evening everyone was awakened from their rest by servants who told them that dinner was ready. All of them freshened up before heading down to dinner. They all met up in the hall and walked down together.
"So how were they when you went down?" asked Hotaru as they walked down one of the many corridors of the castle.
"They were sleeping," said Darien.
"They'll probably sleep until sometime tomorrow," said Syaoran as they rounded the corner to the dining hall. The two footmen at the door bowed before opening the double doors. Beyond those doors they met the eyes of the two people they didn't expect to see at all, King Endymoin and Neo Queen Serenity.
"How?" asked Setsune the first recovering from the shock.
"Just a drop by," said Endymoin.
"Is there something wrong in the future?" asked Nate.
"Oh no quite the opposite really," said Neo Serenity "I just wanted to congratulate you all," she said. The group thanked them but was still curious.
"Your Highnesses are you sure it is safe that both of you should have left I'm quite sure around this time of the year we are all on our own planets," said Amara. Serenity cringed at the formality.
"Don't worry Amara everything is being taken care of," said Endymoin.
"You didn't leave Rini in charge did you?" asked Lita.
"Of course not Lita she's still grounded from her last excursion," said Neo Serenity. The scouts and generals racked their minds at who else could run Crystal Tokyo.
"Who are you guys haggling now?" came a voice from behind them. Everyone turned to see Sakura and Serena.
"What are you doing up?" Syaoran asked right away.
"This can't be good for your recovery," said Amy.
"You go back to bed this instant," said Queen Serenity and Nadesiko. But the two were staring at their new guests.
"Hey Serena she looks just like you," said Sakura natively, everyone in the room sweatdropped. Serena put her hand on her cousin's shoulder.
"Sakura do you remember me telling about my future daughter and all of that?" Serena asked. Sakura nodded.
"Oh so you must be Rini," said Sakura. Everyone fell anime-style. Queen Serenity shook her head.
"I didn't think it could be that bad," she murmured to herself as she walked up to Sakura. She held out her hand which Sakura automatically shook "Hello Sakura I am Serena years from now in a future where I and Endymoin rule as Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymoin," she explained. A light went off in Sakura's head.
"I get it now. Should I bow or something?" she asked.
"Oh no we hate formality," said Endymoin. Sakura nodded.
"Well we must be going we don't want to cause any rips in time," said Serenity.
"Already?" Sakura asked. The royal couple nodded.
"Yes we should get Crystal Tokyo off yo- that is the sitters' hands," said Endymoin. The group nodded. Sakura looked back to Neo Serenity and they met eyes. At once images flew before her eyes and she swayed. Everyone gasped as Syaoran caught her.
"You shouldn't be up," he said. Sakura didn't answer but only look back to Neo Serenity.
The future is bright, Sakura sent to Serenity.
That it is but let's keep it quite. Your future self wanted to come but Syaoran wouldn't let you leave he there with Rini alone, Serenity sent back Sakura nodded.
"Maybe I can help," she said. She touched Serena's forehead where he moon sign blazed for a moment. Next she went to Sakura. She placed her fingers on her forehead and to everyone's surprise a star with the moon sign blazed. Serenity brought her hand back.
"It showed up when I woke up and reached out to the cards then when I ended the link it went away," said Sakura quietly. Neo Serenity smiled.
"Well we must be on our way. Thanks for everything," she said. Endymoin took his wife's hand and in flash they were gone. The group composed themselves and went to dinner. There they discussed their plans for the rest of the vacation, which was filled with friends, fun, family, and love until it was over and everyone returned to their normal duties.
A year later Sakura, Syaoran, Kimari, Ryu, Tomoyo, Eriol, Melin, Ling, Jakita, Simon, Koji, and Haruna graduated high school. Syaoran, Sakura, Kimari, and Ryu were married that summer before college. The others waited a year after. Between college Syaoran and Sakura took over the Li Clan. They all attended different colleges but kept in touch with the scouts and generals as well as with each other. The summer after their senior year Serena and Darien got married. A day later the scouts and generals were all married and a massive wedding. After their honey moon they came back to Tokyo to settle down as did the others.
One day Serena was visited by Neo Queen Serenity who told her it was time for Crystal Tokyo to be born. Serena released the power of the crystal and the whole world slept in a blanket of crystal undisturbed for a thousand years. After which the Scouts and Generals emerged as Queens and Kings of their planets and Serena and Darien as Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymoin rulers of Earth. On Crystal Keep Nadesiko, Fugitaka, Yelan, and Leo stepped down from head gods and goddesses and Sakura, Syaoran, Kimari, and Ryu took their places. Sakura and Syaoran were named seconds to Crystal Tokyo for an occasion that the Queen and King were out of attendance. With such happiness reigning thought out the universe it was a true end to their Journeys Anew.
