02

"Transition?"

Usagi asked in a puzzling way. She already could feel the change in

body. But only twenty five percent of Usagi's DNA had been changed.

This was enough for the crescent moon to appear. So, the Sailor

Senshi had to keep Usagi's crescent moon hidden as much as possible.

Usagi went to a mirror and took off the band-aids that she had on

since that morning. She stared at her crescent moon on her forehead.

"Amazing! It hasn't gone away since last night. I will never take

advantage of being a Sailor Senshi again!"

Usagi spoke in a sorrowful voice. Rei put her hand on Usagi's

shoulder.

"Cheer up! Enjoy your time being Tsukino, Usagi, because you'll

miss it!"

Rei told her.

"Rei-San!"

Usagi cried giving Rei a hug.

"You call me Rei-San! You had never called me that before!"

Rei stated.

"Probably, the DNA rewrite is already starting to take affect."

Ami explained. Rei could hear steps approaching.

"Usagi, put a band-aid on your forehead!"

Rei commanded.

"Hai!"

Usagi obeyed. She got a large band-aid and covered her crescent moon.

"Rei-San?"

Yuuichirou called out.

"May I come in?"

Yuuichirou asked.

"Yes, come in."

Rei replied.

"I brought some doughnuts. I thought you girls could use some

refreshments."

Yuuichirou told them.

"Thanks."

Rei thanked him.

"I'll let you girls be. Later!"

Yuuichirou told them goodbye and he left the room.

"That was close."

Rei spoke being relieved. Then Ami continued.

"So, Usagi is already experiencing some changes with her body. Most

of them are minor and unnoticeable, but soon it will get worse for

her. What happened last night was just the beginning."

Ami explained.

"Did you mention earlier that her brain activity was off the chat?"

Michiru asked.

"Yes."

Ami answered Michiru.

"Why?"

Michiru asked.

"The only possible explanation is that maybe Usagi's brain knows

that her body is being reprogrammed and is trying to stop it.

Maybe that is why Usagi is experiencing pain. Princess Serenity's

DNA is like a virus. It has to rewrite Usagi's DNA for some reason.

Maybe that will come clear later."

Ami tried to answer Michiru's question.

"Guys... I am sorry. I am going home."

Usagi announced.

"Do you want one of us to come with you?"

Rei asked.

"No. Only Luna. I need to tell my family that I am Sailor Moon."

Usagi told them.

"You can't do that!"

Makoto protested.

"Would you want them to find out now and be satisfied or find out

later when I can't control my transformations into Sailor Moon?

They would be angry if they found out from another source!"

Usagi explained.

"I see."

Makoto calmed down a bit.

"Wish me luck."

Usagi told them. Usagi left the Hikawa Shrine. Ami talked to the

others again. Since Princess Serenity was in the Ginzuishou 1,000

years ago when Queen Serenity broke it up into the Rainbow Crystals,

when the Rainbow Crystals came together and formed the Ginzuishou,

and shined on Usagi. Then I think it began transferring Princess

Serenity's DNA in order to make Usagi be the Moon Princess again.

However, before that, Usagi maybe had slight traces of Princess

Serenity's DNA in order for Usagi to use the Moon Stick, because

only girls of that blood line of the Moon Kingdom could use the

Moon Stick. So now so many exposures from the Ginzuishou over

the years, Princess Serenity's DNA is now rewriting Usagi's

DNA and is replacing Usagi's DNA with Princess Serenity's

DNA. Understand?"

Ami explained and then asked if they understood.

"What can we do now?"

Mamoru asked.

"Only one thing. Help Usagi be happy and comfortable right now.

I am sure she's taking this hard and the transition for her

is very hard on her emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

So, all of you try be supportive and protect her, because she's

going to need it. Agreed?"

She asked them.

"Right!"

They all agreed. Usagi made it home to Tsukino household. The

rest of the Tsukino's haven't been home. So she left them a note.

"Mom, Dad, Shingo,

When you get this note, please come get me. I have something

important to share with you.

Love,

Usagi."

Usagi placed the note on the kitchen table and went to her room.

"Usagi, why don't you read some of your Mangas to help calm your

mind and pass the time?"

Luna suggested. Usagi went over to her bookshelf and picked a

couple of Mangas. However, Usagi didn't seem interested in them.

So, Usagi just laid on her bed until her family got home. Usagi

just laid there thinking how she was going to talk to them. Luna

spoke up.

"Usagi. You are thinking about how you are going to tell your

family about how you are Sailor Moon?"

Luna asked.

"I have some ideas, Luna."

Usagi answered.

"Like what?"

Luna questioned Usagi.

"My past, the Moon Kingdom, explain the new troubles I have

been facing and anything else that comes to mind."

Usagi answered as she knew this what the right thing she had

to do. The Tsukino's came home and Ikuko knocked on Usagi's

door.

"Usagi?"

Ikuko, Usagi's mother spoke before entering.

"Come in. It's open."

Usagi told her.

"You had something important to tell us?"

Ikuko asked.

"Yes. I'll be down there in a minute."

Usagi replied.

"Okay."

Ikuko went back to the dining room. Usagi got her courage and went

downstairs with Luna. Usagi sat in a chair while Luna jumped on the

table and sat down.

"What do you want to tell us sweetheart?"

Kenji Tsukino asked.

"Do you want Shingo to go to his room?"

Ikuko asked.

"No. He should hear what I have to save."

Usagi replied.

"Okay. Sweetheart."

Kenji replied. Usagi was nervous. Her parents easily could tell that

Usagi was nervous. They thought Usagi might reveal her deepest and

darkest secret to them. They were right. Usagi stood up and spoke to

them.

"Mom, Dad, Shingo. Have you ever wondered who Sailor Moon and what

her real name is?"

Usagi asked. They were shocked already, but they didn't expect that.

"Yeah..."

They all answered at once.

"Mom, Dad, Shingo. I have a deep secret that you do not know. I

am that Sailor Moon you hear on the T.V. news, on the radio, and

in the newspapers and magazines."

"Get out of town!"

Shingo yelled.

"You got to be kidding sweetheart, you're really not Sailor Moon!"

Kenji spoke in disbelief.

"I am sure you think you're Sailor Moon, but you're just an ordinary

girl. Sailor Moon is a superhero."

Ikuko replied.

"I knew you respond that way."

Usagi answered them. She took off her brooch and opened it.

"See that jewel in the brooch?"

She asked them.

"Yeah."

Ikuko replied.

"It's a priceless Gem."

Usagi answered. Then she continued.

"It gives me the power to transform. Watch. Moon Eternal! Make Up!"

Usagi told them and then called out the words to transform and then

feathers covered her body. In moments there stood Eternal Sailor

Moon. The Tsukino's looked shocked.

"I will explain everything to you. There's a reason why I am

revealing my Sailor Senshi form to you. I will tell you what I have

been experiencing and then I will tell you my past as a Sailor

Senshi. And I will tie all that with what I have been experiencing

lately. Okay?"

Eternal Sailor Moon told them as she sat down.

"Okay."

They answered.

"Good. First of all. Luna is my advisor. She originally was from the

Moon. She chose me to be a Sailor Senshi and told me that I had to

help her find the Moon Princess that she has been looking for. Luna,

say hello."

Eternal Sailor Moon explained her agenda and then asked Luna to

speak.

"I am Luna. I am the advisor for Princess Serenity; the Moon Princess

and Eternal Sailor Moon."

Luna told her.

"Wow! A talking cat. Who is this Princess Serenity?"

Shingo asked.

"I am."

Eternal Sailor Moon replied.

"Really?"

Ikuko asked.

"I'll explain that later. I need to tell you what has been happening

to me. About a month ago, I began to have these massive headaches.

Not only that, however due to these headaches, my forehead started

to burn until my crescent moon appeared permanently while I am not

transformed into Sailor Moon."

Eternal Sailor Moon explained to them and then retransformed back

into Usagi. Usagi then took off her band-aid that covered her

crescent moon.

"See, it never goes away. Last night was the most horrible headache

and burning sensations I have had yet. Last night I left to go to

Rei-San's house to get help. On the way there, my forehead was

bleeding due to the pressure caused from my headaches. My Sailor

Senshi was able to help identify my problem and they told me what

I will tell you. My DNA is being overwritten by another DNA code of

someone else's."

"Your own DNA? Whose? How?"

Ikuko was full of questions.

"Princess Serenity's DNA. To be normal Usagi, bye bye!"

Usagi told them. Now they were confused.

"Mom, Dad, Shingo, I Tsukino Usagi won't exist as you know me,

but I am not dying. Just my appearance is changing. I am becoming

Princess Serenity permanently."

Usagi told them.

"How?"

Ikuko asked.

"Let me tell you my past as A Sailor Senshi. Remember when I got

Luna?"

Usagi asked.

"Yeah."

Ikuko replied.

"Good. After I rescued Luna from some kids, and helped her out.

She then noticed that there was something about me. I went on

to school. Afterwards I went with Naru-Chan to OSA-P. After there

I came home, showed my test paper. Which I failed miserably. You

kicked me out of the house, but soon you had let me in and I laid

down. The Luna, came in the window and started talking to me.

She told me that she finally found me. She told me I was the chosen

one. The one who would become Sailor Moon. She told me that we had

to find the Moon Princess. Luna only discovered that the Moon

Princess was with her ever since the beginning."

Usagi had explained how she started being Sailor Moon.

"Nice."

Ikuko replied.

"I only covered my first fight. Every so often. I am aided by

Tuxedo Kamen, a masked man sworn to protect me at all costs.

Even if it means his life. So after that fight, I gained for

friends, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. Just like Tuxedo

Kamen, they are sworn to protect me with their lives. Then we were

to find and gather these rainbow crystals, so we can find the Moon

Princess. When that happened, I turned out to be that Princess. I

fought several clans of monsters over the years. Each time we faced

the same danger all over again. Later, I gained new friends, Uranus,

Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn. They too protect me. And now, ever since

I first used the Ginzuishou, the power from the Ginzuishou had been

transmitting Princess Serenity's DNA into me. This DNA was from 1,000

years go. So I'll gain all of her traits, personalities, and habits.

And I'll lose all of mine. It will happen. It has already begun."

Usagi explained to them.

"Can't you stop it? I mean you're Sailor Moon."

Shingo asked.

"Shingo, I loved picking on you. Even if I am Sailor Moon, I can't

stop it."

Usagi explained.

"Can't stop it?"

Kenji asked.

"That's right. I Sailor Moon, can fight monsters, but this one thing,

I cannot fight. I am powerless against it. If could fight it, could

harm me. So that's something I can't gamble on. Any last comments

Luna?"

Usagi explained more to her family and then asked Luna.

"Yes. One thought of what I have seen Usagi-Chan in the past is that

Usagi tries to hide the way she feels about the slightest thing. Like

during the fight as Sailor Moon she had, she faced Galaxia, a woman

that was looking for the Star Seeds. When Usagi knew that something

was wrong with Mamoru Chiba not writing her back, she hid it from her

dearest friends. However, they found out eventually. Also, not only

that but, Usagi figured out that Galaxia had taken Mamoru's star seed.

Usagi was crushed. When she saved Galaxia, the star seed of Mamoru

returned and Mamoru came back to life. Mamoru is this Tuxedo Kamen."

Luna explained to them. They were in awe. Usagi stood up.

"I have to go back to Rei's. I'll be staying there again tonight."

Usagi told them. Usagi and Luna walked into the living room.

"Usagi."

Her mom stopped her.

"Yes?"

Usagi asked.

"Thank you for being truthful and honest. I cannot think of a better

person that has the right to be Sailor Moon."

Ikuko thanked her.

"MOM!"

Usagi yelled a bit as she hugged her mom.

"Usagi, put another band-aid on your forehead so people don't find

who you really are!"

Luna suggested.

"Right."

Usagi replied by putting a band-aid on her forehead covering up the

crescent moon. Usagi walked down the street a car stopped by. It was

Haruka and the other outer Senshi.

"Hey Odango. Want a ride?"

Haruka asked.

"Sure."

Usagi replied. Michiru opens her side and Usagi and Luna gets in.

Haruka takes off again.

"So Usagi, did you tell your parents?"

Haruka asked.

"Yeah."

Usagi replied.

"So, it went well Usagi-San?"

Hotaru asked.

"I guess so..."

Usagi spoke as she wasn't sure.

"It was a hard thing to do."

Luna spoke up. Minutes later they arrived at the Hikawa Shrine.

Usagi, Luna, and the outers went in.

"So. How did it go?"

Rei asked.

"Good. I guess."

Usagi replied.

"That bad huh?"

Rei asked.

"No. It went tell. At least they didn't yell at me."

Usagi answered.

"You did your best right?"

Rei asked.

"Yeah."

Usagi answered.

"Then don't worry about it."

Rei told her.

"Rei-San!"

Usagi spoke in a low tone. Usagi found a chair and started to relax.

Within minutes, she was asleep. Rei gently picked her up and again

like before placed on her bed. Usagi was worn out completely. Hours

past and it was night again which meant the return of the massive

headaches and no sleep for Usagi. Ami stood watch over Usagi while

Usagi struggled to get some rest. It was impossible. Blood returned

to her forehead due to the burning sensations. Ami tried to comfort

Usagi, but you can't comfort a girl when she is in severe pain.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Usagi made a yell in complete mental anguish. Ami noticed that

Usagi's hair had grown out a bit. Also Usagi had gotten a bit

taller. After a few more hours of struggling, Usagi fainted.

This time while she was asleep she had a dream. In this dream,

she had a vision of a beautiful girl. This girl was dressed in

lavender and pink. She had a star on her forehead. Her chest

had a five star shaped brooch. She was very tall. She called

out to Usagi.

"Usagi Tsukino, the chosen one. I am Sailor Cosmos or you would

call me Cosmos Sailor Moon! I will soon before born into the world!

The way I'll be born is by your belief and your belief alone! When

you awaken, it'll be a hunch to you put into your subconscious. You

will soon suffer for a time to become Sailor Cosmos! Be strong,

Princess!"

Sailor Cosmos spoke to Usagi in a vision in her dream and the dream

ended. Meanwhile, Luna was laying by Usagi curled up into a ball.

Luna received new instructions from Queen Serenity.

"Luna, when you awaken, you'll remember the story of Sailor Cosmos.

Make sure you tell the Sailor Senshi about her. Usagi will be going

through intense ordeal! Make sure you look after her. I will give

you all the information you need on Sailor Cosmos. Look after the

Princess! I am causing her to fully return soon as Princess

Serenity. Farewell!"

The dream ended and Luna woke up. Ami saw Luna.

"Is everything okay Luna?"

Ami asked.

"Yes. I have received new instructions on our next mission."

Luna explained.

"What's that?"

Ami questioned Luna.

"Sailor Cosmos and our mission to look after Usagi! I know why

Usagi's DNA is being rewritten! Queen Serenity said she is causing

this! If I am correct, Usagi-Chan's days are numbered!!!"

Luna explained.

"Sailor Cosmos? Queen Serenity causing this? Usagi's days are

numbered? This is too much."

Ami stated.

"You're telling me? We are in a bind!"

Luna spoke in a tone like she really didn't know what to do.

The worst for Usagi was yet to come. Usagi would begin to travel

the long tough road to Sailor Cosmos! And that would mean the

increased power levels would begin.
