At the Time Gates

A few hours had passed since Fredrick had given Serena her full memories back and she was still sleeping peacefully. Fredrick smiled. He had been successful in returning the memories too his princess and awaken her future senshi form. He wondered how badly his female counter part was going to hurt him when he came to her senses again.
Serena moaned slightly as she groggily sat up. After she passed out, Fredrick had placed her on the couch, "I feel like I've been hit by something very hard." Serena complained as she looked down herself, noticing the white dress – Neo Queen Serenity's white dress.

"Was it really that bad?" Fredrick replied, letting out a small chuckle. Serena gave him a glare, but then the effect of having all her memories kicked in and she began to cry silently. Fredrick looked at her sympathetically, "I know it's harsh, Serenity, re-gaining all those memories, the pain and sorrow.

Serenity nodded slowly, "Sailor Cosmos… who is she?" she asked in a whisper.

Fredrick cleared his throat, "She's the senshi form of the Moon Queen. She has always been that; right from the beginning where it was the Knights of Justice that protected the universe. Your mother was one of them; the only lady out of the 5 knights. She was also the most powerful and the leader. Andrew, Artemis, Seiya and Andrew are the descendents of the men who were with your mother, serving her as her knights. It was a secret order that very few people knew about. They were given the nick name 'The Silver Knights of the Galaxy Cauldron'. Sailor Cosmos original task is to protect the Galaxy Cauldron which is the birthplace of all Sailor Crystals or Star Seeds as they are better known as. If a Sailor Senshi has her Sailor Crystal removed she will die, and that is what Galaxia has done with your senshi. She has then given them those Golden Bracelets to keep them alive by the power of Chaos. Chaos power and energy runs through their veins.
Only if their Sailor Crystals are returned to them will they be their normal self and there are two ways for that to happen. Cosmos can give them new crystals or return the old once. It is only possible to give them new Sailor Crystals for as long as they are wearing the Golden Bracelets because then there is something to give it too, other vice you need the real crystals. New crystals have one side effect though; you don't know if they will embrace the power of evil or they will embrace the light… It's a fifty-fifty chance."

Serenity nodded in understanding and stood up, "I will save my friends, one way or the other, and I need the help of you knights too do it." She said in a regale, soft and serious tone – not anything like the old Serena.

Fredrick smiled and kneeled down in front of her, "Queen Serenity, if by my life or death I can protect and server you, I will."

Serenity looked at him, "I accept your oath take you into my service, but you are still Seiya's knight."

Fredrick nodded, "Nothing will ever change that, my lady."

"The let us go and find the remaining knights." Serenity said softly, closing her eyes for a moment focusing on the Silver Crystal. Cosmic Silver-Moon Crystal Power, Make-up!!"

Fredrick couldn't help but gasp. Sailor Cosmos was simply breath taking in her beauty. She was dressed in a silver-white fuku. Her hair was white and her meatballs were in the shape of hearts. She held a tall staff with a ball on top that had wings and a star formed crystal on top that gave off a soft pulsating light.

Adam walked towards the park like he always did when he needed to think and be alone. He stopped for a moment as he crossed the bridge leading into the park and turned to look at the Tokyo Lake. The moonlight illuminated the lake lightly and fiches were jumping out of the water trying to catch the insect that was flying around right above the water. "I wonder where you are, Michiru…." He mumbled with a frown. He was still confused about what this Chaos was that Queen Neptune had spoken off.

"I think I can answer that for you, Lord Adam." A soft voice said from behind him. He twirled around. "Who are you?!?" he demanded, "Show yourself!"

The woman stepped into the light. Adam gasped. The woman standing in front of him was breath taking.

"I am the Senshi of Cosmos, Sailor Cosmos, the guardian of the Galaxy Cauldron and Queen of the future Crystal Tokyo." She said softly, "And I am here because you serve my father nephew, the prince of the Stars."

Adam gasped, "Princess Serenity!?!" The Senshi nodded affirmatively. "But since when has the Princess of the Moon been a senshi?"

"For the past 3 years," she replied.

"You… you're the one who's been giving me my memories back, aren't you?" Adam asked.

"No, that falls too the Knight of Pluto. You have been given your memories back because the universe stands at the brink to fall too the powers of evil once again."

"Michiru is evil… why?" Adam asked.

"She, along with the other senshi, were captured and turned evil by Galaxia." Cosmos replied sadly, as she started to tell Adam what had happened over the past months.

The inner and outer senshi had been searching everywhere for Yaten and Taiki and still hadn't found them. Needless to say, Amara, seeing as she was leader of these senshi now, were starting to get really pissed off.

"I don't get this, Ami said, "I can't pick them up anywhere. It's like my computer doesn't even have knowledge's of them. "

"We have bigger problems to worry about then your stupid computer not working, Ami." Lita sneered. Ami shot her a deadly glare.

"Yeah," Mina said. "Like Queen Galaxia having your lives if we don't find Yaten and Taiki."

"Yes, well IT WOULD HELP IF YOU'D ACTUALLY STARTED TO LOOK FOR THEM MINA, INSTEAD OF LOOKING AFTER EVERY GUY THAT PASSES BY!!" Ami yelled.

Mina turned angry eyes towards Ami. "And what are you going to do about it, Miss Calculator."

"That's enough!" Amara yelled.

"Says who?!" Mina sneered. Amara just looked at Mina, "Says me and I am the leader here. Follow orders or die."

"Well if you are the leader here, tell this blond bimbo to shut the hell up!" Ami said mockingly.

"BLOND BIMBO!?! Minako yelled. Her eyes where now blazing with fire. She pushed Amara roughly aside and was about to slap Ami across the face when…

Greg and Chad had left Darien and the other knights since they had to go check on Grandpa Hino and had taken the short road through park area.

"I wonder who the last two knights can be." Greg said.

"You mean you don't remember Adam and Eric?" Chad asked shocked.

Greg shrugged his head, "No, I do remember them, especially Eric. I was talking about who they can be in this time."

Chad nodded. "Ok, you had me worried there for a moment. Personally I think if the senshi remember us then surely they would remember Eric. He's the most power full of us guys, save for Seiya, Andrew, Artemis and Darien of course."

"Yeah, the power of the future kings is quite formidable." Greg said, "I don't fear for princess Serenity's safety. Not while they are around.

"Yeah." Chad said.

As they approached the centre of the park and the square, they could hear angry voices yelling. They hid behind a few bushes to see who it was. They both gasped at the sight of who it was. Ami and Mina! The two guys looked at one another and back at the fighting girls.

"That's enough!" Amara yelled.

"Says who?!" Mina sneered. Amara just looked at Mina, "Says me and I am the leader here. Follow orders or die."

"Well if you are the leader here, tell this blond bimbo to shut the hell up!" Ami said mockingly.

Greg had to try with all his might to suppress the urge to laugh at Ami's words, but at the same time he was shocked at the way Ami was behaving. She was so un-Ami-like.

"We have better go and make our selves more presentable." Chad said, as his transformation ring started to pulsate.

"Yeah, we don't know what they are up too." Greg said. The two guys crept away to transform.

'Planet of Mars, I call upon your power!' Chad thought.

'Planet of Mercury, I call upon your power!' Greg thought.

"BLOND BIMBO!?! Minako yelled. Her eyes where now blazing with fire. She pushed Amara roughly aside and was about to slap Ami across the face when…

"Well, well, well what a remarkable improvement, fighting your selves." Mercury knight said teasingly.

The girls shot him hateful and angry looks.

"Two little boys who thinks they can defeat us." Pluto said, in a evil mocking tone.

Chad gave a laugh, "Yes, well… you have yet to achieve your first victory, Pluto."

"Grrrrr…" was Pluto's only reply.

"So are you going to tell us who you two really are this time?" Sailor Mars said.

"I am afraid not, dear princess. You will have to remember on your own." Mars Knight said. Sailor Mars blinked a few times. 'Princess…???' She just stood there looking at the Mars Knight oddly, like she desperately wanted to remember.

"And why not," Mercury asked irritated, "You know all about us and we know nothing about you."

The two knights just shrug their shoulders.

"Let's take care of these two pests," Saturn said powering up for an attack, "Galactica Glaive Surprise!"

Uranus and Neptune nodded and powered up as well.

"Galactica Space Turbulence!"

"Galactica Violin Tide!"

The attacks hurried towards the two knights…

"Neptune Water Engulf!" A male voice yelled

"Pluto Typhoon!"

"Moon Cosmic Storm!"

"Saturn Wall of Death and Darkness Disrupt!" a fourth voice yelled. The attack held off the attacks that Uranus and Neptune had sent. The Senshi looked around for the two new comers.

"Show your selves cowards! Jupiter yelled.

"It would be a pleasure. A deep male voice said. A figure clad in black, old looking clothes stepped out of the shadows. Hotaru felt a strong recognition and a shiver went down her spin. He holstered his sword that looked like it was thousands of years old and hard to see in the darkness.
Another person jumped down and revealed to be clad in aqua green. Michiru gasped. It was the knight from her dreams. The other man was dressed in dark green clothes and the last one was a tall woman, dressed in a silver-white fuku. Her hair was white and her hair was done in the shape of hearts. She held a tall staff with a ball on top that had wings and a star formed crystal on top that gave off a soft pulsating light. The senshi narrowed their eyes at her.

"Who the hell are you!? Sailor Venus demanded.

"Well she's is definitely another warrior to server Queen Galaxia." Sailor Uranus declared self confident.

"I am the Knight of Pluto." Fredrick replied.

"I am the Knight of Neptune." Adam said.

"And I am the senshi of the Galaxy Cauldron, guardian of all Sailor Crystals, Sailor Cosmos." Sailor Cosmos replied in a serious tone.

The evil senshi glared at her, fully knowing who she was because of what Galaxia had told them.

"And you! Mars demanded from the last knight. He just smiled coolly at her, "I am the knight of death, darkness and destruction, the Knight of Saturn, Sailor Mars."

"E… Eric." Sailor Saturn stammered out, tears forming in her eyes. Eric looked at her and gave her a smile. "Hello Hotaru." Hotaru nearly dropped her glaive. She had forgotten how she felt when he looked and talked to her. She felt like melting, even though she was evil. Uranus looked at Saturn and then at Neptune and Pluto. All of them had a distant, and confused look in their eyes.

Hotaru took a step towards Eric, who just stood there. Hotaru was greatly torn between her 'loyalty' towards Queen Galaxia and Eric who she dearly wanted to be with.

'Go to him!!' Her heart screamed.

'No!! You serve Galaxia.' Her brain sneered.

'You know you love him' her heart said, 'Evil can never be what love is and what Galaxia stands for isn't anyone's happiness.'

'Chaos and Galaxia is the only right thing to choose.' her mind countered.

Hotaru shrug her head violently. She didn't want to listen to the evil voice anymore. She turned her eyes back towards Eric, who still stood there. He extended his hand towards her. Hotaru didn't vast further time thinking about if she should go to him or not. She took his hand and threw herself in his arms, crying tears of happiness. Eric closed his arms around her.

"I have missed you so much." Sailor Saturn mumbled, as she buried her tear stricken face in his black shirt.

"Missed you too, firefly." Eric said and kissed her black hair. Hotaru only sighted contently

"This is just all nice and dandy but I am afraid I have to break up this little romance of yours." Sailor Venus said sneeringly. Eric just looked up at her and if looks could kill Venus would be so. She took a step backwards.

Seeing this, Jupiter had more then enough of the Saturn knight and she powered up. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" she yelled, sending her attack towards Eric, not caring if Hotaru would be hit as well.

"NOOOO!!!!" Yelled Eric and pushed Hotaru out of the way, taking the full hit of the attack. Hotaru could only watch as Eric fell to the ground. The other knights just looked at Jupiter.

"ERIC!?!?" Hotaru cried as rushed to his side.

"That…" Neptune knight began

"…was a very stupid idea." Mars knight finished, "You have no idea who this guy is."

"Do I look like I care?" Jupiter asked. "As long as he's dead I'll be happy."

Greg shrugged his head and broke into laughter. "You cannot kill death, Sailor Jupiter." Jupiter blinked a few time and looked at Eric and Hotaru.

"Hotaru we have a job to do." Jupiter said. Hotaru just turned teary eyes towards her. "I don't want anything too do with that evil queen! Nothing good comes out of her!!"

"Why you little…" Sailor Mars said walking up to Hotaru and was just about to pull her away from Eric, when both of them were engulfed in bright silver light

"What the…" Sailor Mars yelled, turning her head towards the other knights, who went for their swords pulling them up a bit just to show that they meant business. When the light around Hotaru and Eric disappeared they had completely changed. Hotaru was in her princess form, the golden star on her forehead and the bracelets were gone and she now wore a diamond tiara on her head instead. But Eric's transformation was the one that caught the senshi attention, even Hotaru's. He was now wearing a blue armoured suit with metal armour over his shoulders. His cape was attached to his shoulder armour with two purple crystals – much like a former general of a certain Dark Kingdom had. On his left side hang his sword and on his right a daggered. Hotaru titled her head and looked up at Eric, who just smiled at her lovingly.

"Welcome back, my lord." Sailor Cosmos said and smiled, "It's good to see you again."

"It's nice to be back." Eric replied, bowing before her, "I never thought I'd see this uniform again. Now, let deal with these nega-servants, shall we?"

The other knights firmly as Sailor Cosmos stepped back standing next to Hotaru and raised her staff to the sky while the knights drew their swords.

"Traitor!" Sailor Venus screamed at Hotaru, "You serve Chaos and Galaxia!"

Hotaru shrug her head, no. "I don't want anything to do with that which. She is evil and she wants nothing good."

"HOTARU, YOU COME HERE RIGHT NOW YOUNG LADY." Pluto yelled in a stern motherly voice, "Queen Galaxia will NOT stand for this betrayal!"

Hotaru just raised an eyebrow, "Do you think I would join a mad woman just because my 'parents' tells me to? NO WAY!!" She said, yelling the last part. "You don't love anything," She accused, "If you did you would let me be happy!"

"This is fare from over!" Mercury sneered.

"Yeah right, Mercury," Mercury Knight said, "If you started to talk less then you might succeed in almost getting to archive victory someday."

"YOU SHUT UP!!" Sailor Mercury yelled, "Galactica Aqua Rhapsody!!"

"Mercury ice Shield!!" Greg countered.

"You are getting better, but you are still fare from getting a medal." Mercury Knight mocked. It pleased him to see that his female counterpart was seething with utter fury.

"YOU...!!! " she started, but quickly shut her mouth as Mercury knight, Mars Knight, Neptune and Saturn Knight powered up

'Mercury Ice Storm!' Greg thought.

'Mars Fire Storm!' Chad thought.

'Neptune Talisman; Neptune Tidal Wave!' Adam thought, as the Aqua Mirror appeared before a shocked Sailor Neptune.

'Planet Saturn, Strike of Death!' Eric thought.

The attacks shot out of their swords and headed with deadly aim towards the senshi. The senshi quickly jumped out of the way, only to get in the target line of another set of attacks made by Sailor Cosmic Moon and Pluto Knight. The senshi screamed in pain as the attacks hit them.

"You will pay for this!" Uranus and Pluto yelled.

"How did you wield my MIRROR!?!?! Neptune yelled.

"So dearly pay!" Sailor Venus screamed, starting to power up, sending her attack towards Sailor Cosmos, but it didn't even harm Cosmos. Sailor Venus glared in disbelieve at her, "How the hell did you do that!" She sneered at Sailor Cosmos.

"The power of the Moon and the Silver Crystal protects me. I am the senshi form of Neo Queen Serenity" Cosmos replied, causing a series of gasps from the evil senshi. Their princess was now a queen.

Mars and Pluto glared at Sailor Cosmos in pure hate. "I don't really care!" Pluto said, powering up for an attack.

"I wouldn't recommend that, Sailor Pluto." A new voice said. Sailor Pluto looked up to see 6 men, hovering 3 feet above the ground, ready to attack.

"You weren't invited," Sailor Mars said.

"I know, so we are party crashers." Darien said as the men descended down on the ground. Sailor Mars shot him a death glare.

"I think its time to end this little meeting," the Starlight Knight said, drawing his sword.

Uranus looked at him and walked closer towards him, "Why must you protect this pathetic little planet, when we could be together like we used to."

"I will protect this planet and hundreds of others again the evil that you and your queen stands for." Seiya replied.

"It will never happen!" Uranus yelled, "Come with me Seiya, please."

Seiya just shrugged his head, "I am sorry, Princess Uranus, but I won't join the evil side. Not even for you. Queen Beryl once had the same idea about Prince Endymion and Princess Serenity. She thought that he would leave Serenity, and join her and the Dark Kingdom just for power and might. She was wrong."

"FINE!!" Uranus yelled, "If you won't come with me then you will…" She haltered as images of the past played before her, giving her the worst headache ever.

Flash back, the Silver Millennium

Everything was chaos. Queen Beryl's forces had destroyed everything and the four dark generals were standing in front of their victorious army like great warlords. The attack on the moon had come suddenly and with out warning and now everything was falling apart. Everything that she loved was being destroyed, all because of a jealous woman who wanted to rule the universe and wouldn't accept that the man she 'loved' was destined for another.
Prince Seiya and a few other good men had left the moon and their kingdoms to help the prince of earth fight the Dark Kingdom and prevent them from winning the war. She had cried, begging him not to go there since it was now an evil place, filth with death. A place that none had returned from yet.
The Earth had fallen to the power of the Dark Kingdom and now it was the Moons turn to fall; to be swallowed by the darkness. A shiver went down her spin as she, along with the other princesses who stood beside her as she was beside her dying love, glanced at the evil Queen and her 4 general hovering above them. Holding his hand, she felt him getting more and more cold. He was going down the river of death, which was by no mean a horrible place. Mostly quite, like sitting in a boat covered by the chilling fog and slowly being lead with the river to where it might end.
She put a hand to his chin. It wasn't as warm as it used to be, "We shall see each other again, my love." The princess of the wind whispered as the tears hit his shirt, soaking it. She looked up at the Moon Queen who closed her eyes in sorrow. He was gone. She let out a scream of pain and sorrow, "Should I live when this is over with, my heart will never belong to anyone but you, my only love." She swore, as a few tears slipped down her cheeks.

End flash back

By now Sailor Uranus had tears shimmering in her eyes, like Saturn had been having only a few minutes ago. She wanted to cry. The memories, the pain and sorrow of loosing the one she loved were too much for even her to bear – and she normally wasn't the one to cry or weep over things at all, but pent it up inside herself. But this was different. She sank to the ground, letting the tears fall freely down her cheeks. Seiya looked down at the sobering form of Sailor Uranus, confusion written in his eyes. He walked close to her and put his arms around her, holding her trying to comfort her. Uranus gave a little stir when he touched her.

"Pluto?" Seiya asked, looking at his friend. Fredrick didn't say anything but nodded his head in agreement, while adding mentally, 'the hold chaos has on her is weak now.'

Seiya gentle lifted Uranus into his arms and smiled as he felt her snuggling against him.

'I never thought Amara could be like this!' Sailor Cosmos thought to herself, remembering how Sailor Uranus and Neptune behaved when they first appeared during the fighting with the Death Busters.

"I love you Princess Haruka of Uranus, Amara Tenou." Seiya said and leaned down and gave her a soft and sweet kiss. The two of them were instantly covered in a Silver light. A few moments later the light disappeared. Seiya and Amara were now dressed in totally different attire. Seiya was in his prince form and Amara was in her princess form. The Knights, save for Eric who had already changed, had also changed attire and so had Sailor Cosmos. She was now as Neo Queen Serenity, Darien as King Endymion, Andrew as the prince of the Sun and Artemis had also become human again. But his clothes had changed completely from what he had been wearing the first time the senshi had seen him, Luna and Diane as humans, during the battle with the Dead Moon Circus and Endymion and Serenity's coronation. He was dressed much like Endymion and Andrew save that his was white in stead of black or dark-yellow as Andrews was.

The senshi gasped. Andrew and Artemis were not only knights but also princes! Sailor Pluto and Neptune stared in horror and anger at the scenery before them. The guardians of justice had been reborn. Princess Haruka stood in front of Seiya, the crystal form of her talisman hanging in a pendant around her neck. A dreamy look was written all over her face. She couldn't help thinking about what a handsome picture Seiya and his knights made in their dark blue armour suits, with their capes hanging down their backs.

Seiya looked at Princess Uranus and smiled. "I love you my princess. " He said almost in a whisper. Haruka's cheeks turned a little pink, "I love you too, Seiya."

"You may have managed to bring them back, but we will get them again!" Sailor Jupiter said. And with that the senshi left.

"I am already shaking." Andrew said sarcastically. The others laughed, save for Haruka and Seiya, who were too busy kissing each other.

Darien wrapped an arm around Serenity, "Isn't love wonderful? She asked looking up at him.

"Yes... Indeed it is." Darien said smiling down at Serenity, giving her a kiss.

"Do you really mean it? Do you really love me? Even after everything I did?" Haruka asked as tears started to shimmer in her eyes

"Haruka it wasn't 'you'. Forget about it." Seiya replied putting his hand to her cheek.

"You guys we have better head back. I think people, including the police, are starting to wonder about the light shows." Andrew said.

"You're right Andrew, if you would please?" Seiya said, as he turned to Haruka, "Hold on tight."

"As you wish, my lord." Andrew replied and raised his sword to the sky, "Mass teleportation!" Everyone was engulfed in the respective colours and was gone. Tokyo Park was once more quite.

Wow! That was a long one! Hope you guys liked this one and once again, sorry for my long hiatus. Ja Minna-chan!
