Chapter 22
The huge group went straight to Raye's house for training after that. Serena was having a hard time accepting that those four were now part of the Sailor Scouts, but she wanted to trust Reenie's judgement, and she hoped that she had done the right thing by doing so. She also knew that those four would be excellent help in preparing the Younger Scouts for fighting against evil.
Serena smiled. She had trusted Reenie's judgement, now if only Malachite and the rest weren't lying...
As the days grew into weeks, the weeks into months and the months into years, the Younger Sailor Scouts's training began to come to a close. Finally, the day came when they no longer had to train here in the past.
Sailor Moon called the others to gather around. "I can't believe how long it's been," Sailor Moon said. "Reenie and Kenneth, you graduated High School a few weeks ago. Kara's already eleven. But it's time for you to return to your time. To the future."
They hugged and kissed good-bye. No eyes were dry by the time a portal was opened so that they could head into the future. Sailor Moon was the only one trying to hold in her emotions. "Good-bye, Reenie," she said, softly, "I know you'll make a great queen."
Reenie wiped her eyes and let go of Sailor Moon. "Thank you," Reenie said. "I'll see ya in the future, mom," she said, smiling.
Then, with the Younger CT Scouts, her sister, and her cousin, Reenie stepped into the portal and headed to the future...
The group stepped out and landed on hard ground, the portal closing behind them. Looking around at their surroundings, no one could believe what they saw. There were no buildings, no people playing, nobody heading to work. There were only places where fire had been put out. Everything around them was destroyed!
Reenie looked to where her home had been and her mouth went wide open. It was all black! She looked to the sky and gritted her teeth. She knew what had happened.
Without the Younger Scouts's help, Nemesis had come back. Not Prince Diamond. He was dead. But with someone else. Reenie turned to look at her sister, friends, and cousin. They were all looking at Reenie, too. This had all been their home. . . Reenie's future kingdom. Now it was destroyed and had been taken over. Reenie couldn't handle it. She had been in the past for too long. She could have helped her parents. If only she hadn't been in the past. Rennie collapsed to her knees and started crying. "No! Noooooooooooooo!"
CT Sailor Jupiter put her hand on Reenie's shoulder. "We'll get this back, Princess. We'll get it back."
Reenie wiped her eyes, looked at Jupiter and nodded. She stood up and brushed the dirt away from her jeans. "You're right," Reenie said, holding back tears. She put out her hand.
Jupiter put her hand on top of it. Next was Venus, Mars, and Mercury. Then Kenneth, YJ, and Kara.
"All for one, and one for all!" Kara said, smiling. "Let's fix Crystal Tokyo."
Reenie nodded and with a determined grin said, "Let's get our home back!"
