Bijono Senshi DragonMoon Rebirth:

Chapter Four

As Usagi gets closer, she begins to remember them. By the time she reaches them, she is smiling as broadly as they are and embraces them. As soon as they were done hugging, the three of them burst in to tears. After more hugs and tears, Kage suggests they head over to a coffee shop so they can talk. After they get their drinks, "Why don't we start with introductions?" Usagi suggests.
"O.K. I'm Chikyono Hana formerly known as Fidelity", says the one with black hair. Practically bubbling over with excitement. "My name means flower of the earth." she adds blushing slightly.
The auburn haired one smiles and says in a slightly calmer voice, "I'm Wakuseino Kage formerly known as Tranquillity and my name means shadow of the planet". She smiles sweetly at them.
"Well I guess it's my turn Tsukino Usagi and as you probably already know I was Serenity. My name means, and please don't laugh, rabbit of the moon." Just then, Usagi's watch beeps, "Oh man I'm going to be late to meet my parents, I've got to go". Usagi says as she gathers her stuff. Before she bolts, Hana grabs Usagi's arm and Kage puts a piece of paper in it.
"Here, so you can call us later." the two say in unison. Usagi turns to go but stops, turns back, and hugs them. She promises to call them tonight and every night.

They call each other and go to coffee for a few weeks getting to know each other and one-day Usagi's mom tells her to invite them over for a sleepover. After they are settled in and are doing each other hair, they get on the topic of boyfriends. "So Usagi have you had any serious relationships?" Hana asks.
"Well, do either of you remember Prince Endymion?" She asks.
Hana looks thoughtful and Kage says, "Was he the one with short black hair..."
"Kinda tall". Hana finishes the sentence. "You don't mean..." She continues.
"That he was reborn as well." Kage finishes.
Usagi looks at them and thinks It must be nice to have someone your that close too. "Well yes he was and we dated for quite some time and we even found out that in one possible future we would have a child named Chibi-Usa and rule the future called Crystal Tokyo," she says in a very matter of factly.
"Something tells me that there is a but in there some where." Kage says.
"You got it right it all happened the day after Galaxia left, Mamoru and I met at the air port, to say good bye. Mamoru was going back to the United States to continue with University and it was at that moment we realized we weren't really in love with each other. Even after four years of trying to find that old spark, we had in our past life. We finally had to admit we couldn't be ruled by fate anymore. We agreed to keep in touch and if either one of us had a little girl with cotton candy hair, that we would name her Chibi -Usa. In honour of the daughter, that we could have had and in our hearts knew that one of us would still have. I asked him if he wanted to be free of his obligation to protect me. He said that he never minded protecting me that I was worth protecting, but that the bond between them was to strong to leave in place, if either one of us wanted to go on with our lives. I told him that I had given that a lot of thought and I could remove it but that would mean that there would be no more Tuxedo Kamen and he may not even be able to change in to Prince Endymion. He was willing to give that up if it meant that both of us could go on with our lives. I told him that I was happy that I could give him the normal life that he deserved. He only wished he could do the same for me, and then I took his golden crystal. We said our good-byes finally free of the other persons feelings buzzing in the back of our heads.
They talk laugh, Usagi asks a bunch of question. Do either of you have boyfriends? Have both of you always lived here? How'd you two meet, anyway? However, before she can get any of her answers, Ikuko yells down the hallway, "It's 2 in the morning go to sleep already!"
Whispering Kage answers, "No, neither of us has anything serious." Hana continues, "No, we moved here a couple of years ago." Kage finishes off with, "And that story will have to wait for another day".

A week later Usagi is sitting by her bay window looking at the sky, when the phone rings. Usagi answers it, "Moshi, moshi?"
"Hi, Usagi Kage and I were wondering if you could come over." Hana asks in a slightly uncertain voice.
"Sure anything for my two sisters. I'll be over in about an hour." Usagi replies.
"Great see you at three." Hana says.
"So is she coming?" Ken asks as he hovers over Hana.
"Of course. Now would you please calm down? Jeez you're acting like Jade." Hana says getting a little tired of the way the four men have been hovering lately.

When Usagi reaches their house, she is greeted at the door by a very cheerful Hana. I wonder what's got her so happy. Usagi thinks to herself. "Ya, How's it going? So why did you want me to come over and why are you smiling like that?" she asks.
"Oh sis you're still the same old bundle of questions you were in the Silver Millennium." Hana says with a giggle and her smile gets even more mischievous. Usagi follows her into the living room and what she sees makes her reach for her locket in her pocket. There sitting plain as day are the four dark kingdom generals, in armour that looks like Prince Endymion's and upon seeing her, they jump out of their seats. Instead of attacking her, they fall to one knee and bow their heads.
"We humbly ask your forgiveness, even though we are undeserving. We pledge to you that we never wanted to harm you or your guardians in anyway." Ken says in his most formal and reserved way. However, even he cannot keep the sorrow and regret from his voice. Usagi mouth falls open and her fingers release the death grip on her locket.
"You mean you're not going to swear revenge and try to kill me again." Usagi asks still uncertain of their motives.
"It's O.K. they are their old selves again. They would rather die than hurt any of us." Kage explains in a gentle voice.
"It was never their fault that they did what they did. They were brain washed by Queen Beryl." Hana continues the explanation.
"I think I need to sit down." Usagi says in a slightly shaky voice. All the generals scramble to get her a place to sit and a glass of water. Which she takes a few sips out of and says in a more even voice, "You know it all makes sense now that I think about it. Just let me get something's straight the four of you were good. If memory serves you were Prince Endymion's most trusted Generals." They all nod. No one willing to break her train of thought. "Then you were brain washed, became evil, died and were reincarnated the same as us. How'd Beryl get you back?" Usagi finally stops and waits for an answer.
"May I sit Princess?" Ken asks.
"Of course Kunzite." Usagi says with out thinking and then adds much to the amusement of the others, "Oh and don't call me Princess my name is Usagi."
"Yes Pri… Usagi what you say is true. We were to perform the formal bonding with Prince Endymion that would ensure that we could never be turned to evil. Basically, it is the same as the bond you share with your senshi. However, as we were about to finish the process, the Prince was teleported away. This left us vulnerable to corruption." Kunzite says in a monotone voice but his hands are clenched so hard that his knuckles are turning white. Usagi is about to speak when he puts up his hand and says, "Please, saying these things is not easy, let me finish quickly. As you said, we were brain washed, destroyed, and reincarnated to normal lives. But when Queen Beryl returned she awakened the bond and we were hers again." By this point Usagi, Hana and Kage had tears in their eyes. "When we were destroyed again." He holds up his hand to stop Usagi from trying to apologize. "I for one was grateful when you destroyed me and yes I was really the only one you destroyed directly, Nephrite also known as Maxfield was destroyed by a youma trying to defend Naru. Zoicite also known as Zachary was destroyed by Beryl herself after trying to kill Tuxedo Kamen." When he says that Zoicite hangs his head in shame.
Usagi not able to bare his pain and shame goes over, and to his surprise hugs him. That is his undoing he begins to cry. She just holds him and says in her gentle sweet voice, "I forgive you and the others too. I understand, if you remember Endymion was brain washed as well and he wasn't exactly nice to me either. Wait a minute you haven't told me what happened to Jadeite."
" I was hoping you wouldn't notice that." Jadeite says a little on edge.
"Unfortunately Jadeite's punishment was worse than ours. He was put in to eternal sleep. Before you ask no it's not like Sleeping Beauty. This eternal sleep leaves the one trapped unable to move in cold so frigid that it is extremely painful. The only thing you can do is think and feel the cold. However, when you destroyed Beryl he was set free and yes again, before you ask, when I say set free he was killed. But never feel sorry for us being dead was better than being under her control."
" You never did tell us how you came back." Kage says.
"Well let's just say we had a very convincing spokes person." Nephrite says in his slightly mysterious way.
"Go ahead Kunzite ask her". Zoicite says a little impatient.
"Ask me what?" Usagi says a little confused

Kunzite motions for the other generals to fall in beside him, "We formally ask you to accept us into your service. We heard what happened to Endymion." As he says this, goes to one knee again and the other three follow suite. They wait for her answer with more than a little fear for her reply.
Usagi stands, "Are you sure that this is what you want?" she asks the four men.
"Yes!" they answered in unison.
With that, Usagi turns in to Serenity and never before having been this close to their sister changing into her princess form Hana and Kage change as well. "As long as you swear fealty to my sisters as well." Serenity says.
As one the generals say, "We swear fealty to Serenity and her sisters." In response the symbols on their foreheads glow and somewhere not too far away on the forehead of a sleeping girl a fourth symbols glows in response.
