Title: A New Millennium
Summary: Usagi has just beaten Beryl but before she dies she makes a wish that she hopes will finally allow her and her senshi to live in peace.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon and I probably never will.
Heya ppl! I thought I'd start off this chapter by answer some questions bout the story:
Seraphydragon: Yes, Beryl and Metallia really are dead but, as you'll see in this chapter, their fighting is not yet over. And about the name, you can spell it Raye or Rei. Rei is the Japanese version (I thought Raye was, but I was wrong) and Raye is the English version of her name. Some people mix-and-match names for their story so I don't think it really matters which one you use. Just choose which ever one you like. ;)
KiwiKol, Hunter Hatake, amnesia nymph, KiwiKol, confusedthoughts, and of course Seraphydragon: Thanks for all your great reviews!
Chapter 4
Mars was the first one to speak up.
"How come you remembered all of this but we didn't?"
"The crystal is a part of my soul so when I made the wish the crystal detected some things I hadn't said that I wanted to be granted as well," was her reply.
"So are there two crystals now?" Mercury asked.
"No, the one I used to kill Beryl and Metallia was my mother's. I'm sorry I hadn't told you before mother," Serenity said as she shot her mother a sympathetic look.
"That's alright dear. You did what you had to do," her mother said before taking her in a warm embrace. "I'm just glad you're alright."
"So what's in store for us now?" voiced Jupiter. It was the question that was on all of their minds.
"We have to live our lives as if we never knew they were supposed to end. I figured we would all be happier, safer, and stronger in the Silver Millennium," Serenity replied. Even she had been wondering what was in store for them next. But she had come up with a game plan.
"Safer? Stronger? What does that have to do with anything," Endymion asked. He knew something was up.
"Well, for one thing, we have to rebuild the palace. But when I was on Terra (A/N: Earth) and the darkness was overcoming me, I could feel darkness from other beings also coming after me."
"So you're saying that Beryl and Metallia weren't our only enemies?" Venus inquired.
"Yes and we need to find them so we can destroy them.
"Mars, I want you to go to each planet and their moons to see if you can feel any evil presences ( A/N: Mars is a priestess and can feel different auras. Evil ones are the easiest to detect. )
"Jupiter, I want you to go with her. Incase you guys do happen to detect evil, you can help Mars come up with a plan of attack. But so not, I repeat DO NOT, attack anyone or anything there.
"Mercury, you are to find any and all background on Beryl and Metallia. Any former allies, alliances, foes. Anything that we can use.
"And Venus, for now, you are to help me rebuild the palace and heal any civilians that might have gotten hurt during the attack. We'll discuss while we do this so we're at least productive," Serenity finished. The senshi then left the room to prepare for each of their tasks. Endymion also left after getting a call from Terra.
"Serenity, I just have one question. How did you get so wise? In all the years I have known you I have never seen you step up and take so much responsibility. What happened?" her mother questioned.
"Well, when I was battling Beryl yesterday and the day before, I realized that any wrong move could endanger innocent lives. I also learned that from being Sailor Moon. And I've just decided that it's time for me to act a little more responsible," she replied.
Queen Serenity smiled.
"Well, I'm glad to hear that. Just, be careful, Ok?"
"Sure thing Mom."

Mars and Jupiter had left for Mercury (the planet) and Mercury (the senshi) was off doing research in the royal library. Serenity and Venus were clearing debris and rebuilding the gardens. Only a few civilians got hurt and the worst anyone had was a few scrapes on their head.
"Do you think we're strong enough to beat our new enemy?" Venus asked while they were taking their break.
"I'm not too sure yet, but it doesn't hurt to train. I was thinking after Mars and Jupiter were back we would go train on Mars; that is if we have the time. We might go straight to fighting if we have to," Serenity replied as she took a bite of her sandwich.
Venus was happy with that answer so she kept quiet while eating their snack. She didn't know what was coming next, but she hoped they were ready.
----------------
Mars slowly came out of her trance after she finished surveying the planet. She felt no presence of evil on Venus. Since Mercury was such a small planet and wasn't too heavily populated she had finished in a couple of hours. They had then teleported to Venus.
"Did you feel anything," Jupiter asked from her position on a couch. She had been just sitting there for hours and she felt like getting up and doing something.
"Nope, looks like we're headed for Earth," Mars said as she got up off her knees. Her legs were killing her but it was just a little pain compared to what they had been through before.
"Great," Jupiter muttered under her breath. Earth was the only planet not part of the Silver Alliance and their Prince, Endymion was not very happy to have senshi on his planet. But he was in love with Serenity and she managed to get him to allow them on Earth. But this was for the good of the universe and they had to do what they had to do.
With a flash of red and green they were gone.

Not too much has happened yet, but there will be A LOT more action in the next chapter. If you find anything confusing, tell me in your review. I hope to get the next chapter out by Saturday, the latest Monday. And lastly, review!
