Chapter 22

DC: I don't own Sailor Moon

Everyone watched, to their horror, as Serenity floated down. Darien caught her. No one else could move.

"Rini! No!"

Helios watched as Rini smiled up to him, and burst into pink feathers. He started to cry, as the feathers floated around him. He put his head in his hands.

Hotaru could feel the tears come into her eyes. Half because of Rini and Serena, half because she could feel pain. This pain surged through her body, and she knew what was happening.

She was shrinking. Her body slowly went back to normal, as she passed out. Michelle held her, and looked worriedly up to Amara.

"W…What's going to happen?" Amy asked. Darien picked up Serena's body, and carried it towards the scouts. He lay her down, and dropped to his knees.

"I don't know…" Darien whispered. He could feel tears starting to form in his eyes.

"We…we can't bring her back…we just used up most of our powers…" Trista said.

"And even Rini disappeared…" Lita said.

Everyone turned to Helios, who still held his head in his hands. The pink feathers lay across his lap, and all around.

Soon everyone was crying. They couldn't do anything, and they didn't think anyone could help them at all.

"This wasn't meant to happen."

Everyone looked up. They saw a young looking lady who had long black hair, and light gray eyes. She wore a dark blue kimono, and held a glowing ball. Darien and Helios recognized her.

"Lady Sheena!" Helios exclaimed.

"Sheena?" The sailors asked. They didn't like the sound of that.

Sheena landed on the ground and looked down to the still body of Serena. "No…"

Michelle held little Hotaru, and Helios got up. They went closer to Sheena, and waited. Sheena looked at Serena some more, before looking at each and every scout.

"Tokyo is in chaos." She said. "This wasn't meant to happen…"

"Tell us how we can fix it!" Raye demanded. "Tell us how we can get Serena and Rini back!"

Sheena looked at Trista. "Sailor Pluto. I ask that you do me a very big favor."

Trista looked to Sheena. "What is it you ask?"

"I need you to go back in time. Retrieve Queen Serenity."

Trista looked a little confused. "But…I can't do that. Isn't that against my law of time?"

"I'll fix it out later." Sheena said. "It's for the future of the Moon."

Trista looked a little hesitant, but disappeared. In a matter of seconds she came back with Queen Serenity.

"Lady Sheena…what is it?" Serenity asked.

Everyone stepped aside, to let Serenity have a look. She gasped and turned to Sheena. "Is this what you hinted about long ago?" She asked.

Sheena sadly nodded. Serenity stepped up to Serena, and bent down to her knees. Darien held Serena's hand, and looked into Serenity's eyes. He could see the sadness in them, but then she closed them.

Serenity concentrated hard, and brought out her own Silver Crystal. As soon as she did, Serena's shattered crystal formed into its ball again, and started to float.

"I knew it." Serenity said, as she turned her body toward the floating crystal. She took the other crystal in her hand, and looked at it.

"I can only do so much…" Serenity said. She looked up to Darien, who looked back. She smiled. "But I know you, Darien, and everyone else, can take care of my daughter, as you have done on the Moon."

Everyone watched as Serenity placed the two crystals on the ground. They started to glow.

"What are they doing?" Amy asked.

"Recharging each other. I can't recharge it all the way, so when I'm done…you'll have to think of something else to charge the rest of it."

There was a little flash. Serenity's crystal came back to her, and Serena's hovered over her body. Trista helped her up, and Sheena thanked her.

"You're most welcome. As for everyone else." Serenity said, looking at each sailor scout. "Take care of yourselves, and my daughter."

They disappeared, and Trista came back seconds later. Darien gasped, and everyone looked down. Serena's eyes were now closed, and Darien could feel her hand grow a little warmer.

"Some of her life has come back." Sheena said. She started to float. "I have to go…I must go talk to the Time Keepers about Sailor Pluto."

Sheena vanished, leaving everyone puzzled. Helios turned around, unable to take it anymore. But when he did, he saw something amazing.

The feathers were gathering up. He had to shake the shoulder of Mina to get her attention.

"What's going on?" Mina asked, making everyone turn around.

The feathers formed into a shape, and after a flash of pink light, Rini was reborn. Helios caught her, and she looked up.

"What…?" She said, as she stood up. She straightened herself, and looked around.

"Where is…Serena?"

She made her way through the scouts, and sat next to Darien. She stared at the hovering crystal. She thought hard. Then it hit her. She took out her own crystal, and it immediately started to react with Serena's.

Everyone crowded around them, as Serena's crystal grew brighter, and brighter. And when it was the brightest it could get, the two crystals separated. Rini grabbed hers, and it went back inside her body.

All ten of them watched as Serena's crystal went back into her own body. Her silver dress turned back into the sailor scouts uniform, and her stomach flattened. Her moon symbol stayed the same, and her wings came back.

Everyone waited. Darien still held Serena's hand. He could feel a lot of the warmth had come back. It felt almost normal.

And then it happened. Serena slowly opened her eyes. It was a very blurry vision, so she had to blink a couple of times before she could see everyone. And when she did, it made her smile.

"Hey…" She said in a hoarse kind of voice.

"Serena…" Darien said, letting the tears finally fall.

Serena looked up to Darien. She used her hand to wipe his tears away. He bent down and gave her a kiss. Everyone let out a cry of joy, and started hugging her. Rini just smiled. She felt a little weak from that transfer of energy, but she'll get over it.

"Rini!"

She turned around, and saw Helios. He bent down, and gave her a hug. Rini hugged him back.

"I thought I lost you…" He said. Rini hugged him tighter.

"I can feel you right now, Helios. You haven't lost a thing."

Helios looked into her eyes, and could see all purity, and happiness back. Rini gave him another hug, and they sat there and held each other.

There was a flash of light, and Sheena came back. She smiled. It looked like everything was back to normal. "Welcome back Your Highness's." She said.

"It's good to be back." Serena said. She carefully got up. Darien held her still.

"I'm sure you'd like an explanation for all this." Sheena said.

"It would be nice." Michelle said. She held little two-year-old Hotaru.

Sheena snapped her fingers, and everything went dark. It seemed as though they were switching dimensions. And when they came to they were back home. In Tokyo Park.
