The Fight for Crystal Tokyo
Chapter 11
Again a Goodbye
The camera's flashed as the Eternal Senshi stood behind Neo-Queen Serenity as she addressed the press and citizens of Crystal Tokyo.
"Good morning. What happened yesterday was the most terrible occurrence in Crystal Tokyo but as you can see Crystal Tokyo lives to see another day." Serenity paused for claps and shouts of agreement. "During this whole time, I have seen the courage and the greatness that the city has to offer. When things went wrong in the different points in Crystal Tokyo, the citizens kept their dignity and put their trust in the Senshi that you see behind me. It was your trust that made the occurrences of the past few days easier to handle and for that you are the true heroes." Again applause came from the masses and shouts of "Long live the queen" was heard. "My dear heroes, I am happy to announce that the evil that tried to plague us has been defeated. However, if I have learned something from yesterday, it is that as long as they see how peaceful we live, there will be an attempt of destruction.
"'Who watches in envy,' you may ask. The ones who look at our great city and have negative thoughts in order to bring this great city to ruin. They are the ones who cannot accept the fact that this world was made for peace, tranquility, and love but we know different. We know that our children will live with what we have made – a city of harmony. As we continue through this Crystal Millennium, let us continue to stand together. I am no longer afraid of what evil brings our way. We will be able to stop it. Thank you."
The crowd roared with applause and cries of love towards the woman that ruled them. "Hail Neo-Queen Serenity and Neo-King Endymion, majesties of peace!"

They waved goodbye to Usagi the same place they said goodbye to her when she left the last time. Everybody hugged her and told her how beautiful she had turned out and how strong of a fighter she was.
"Well," Usagi began. "I guess I will see you guys... in the future." She smiled. "Thank you, again."
No one could say anything. The child they had helped raise was about to leave probably never to be seen again. "Thank you for showing us how well we've done as parents." Neo-Queen Serenity told her, hugging her for the last time.
Usagi looked at Chibi-Usa playing in the field with Ryoku, fighting no doubt. Asking the others to wait a moment, she ran and stopped Chibi-Usa from attacking Ryoku. "What's up kid?"
"Boys are disgusting, and immature, and dumb, and they have worms for brains!" Chibi-Usa exclaimed looking at Ryoku who stuck his tongue out at her from behind Minako's leg. "I'm going to kill him!"
Usagi begins to blush. "Well, they start that way but then they grow up and they're sweet... and kind of cute, sort of charming."
"Eew," Chibi-Usa says. "There is nothing sweet or cute about that boy and he is no Prince Charming." Chibi-Usa watched Usagi shrug as she began to blush some more until she realized where Usagi was getting at. "You don't mean...Eew!"
Usagi laughed and patted Chibi-Usa on the head. "But you turn out pretty cute, right?" Usagi asked the smaller version of herself.
"I guess. I mean, I could dye my hair blonde like mama."
Usagi laughed again. "Well somebody that will be really special to you is going to like your hair just the way it is." She says looking at little Ryoku walking away with his father. "Besides, it matches your Senshi uniform."
Chibi-Usa looks at her future self and gasps. "You mean... I get to be a Senshi?"
"Someone has to protect Point 1." Usagi winks. "Well, I really miss my side of Crystal Tokyo. Ja, Chibi-Usa."
"Bye Usagi..." Chibi-Usa waved as Usagi ran back to the Senshi that waited for her. She said her final goodbyes and yelled, 'Time Key... Activate!' and in a mist of pink smoke, Usagi was gone. Chibi-Usa was still in shock as she continued to think about Usagi's last words. "Me... a Senshi?"

Minako returned home later after spending the day with the Senshi before they all went back to their different points. The Outer Senshi left to continue to protect Crystal Tokyo from outside forces. When she returned home she realized that Ryoku was not in his bed. Minako tried to stay calm but she felt her nerves begin to tense. Wondering what could have happened she picked up the phone to call a neighbor until she heard giggling outside the door. Instantly dropping the phone, she ran to the door and swung it open to find Roiyaru and Ryoku fighting with imaginary swords.
"You got me!" Roiyaru yelled falling to the floor. Minako's eyes became hazy as she looked at the sight of her husband and their child.
"In your face, dad!" Ryoku yelled as he ran between his mother's legs into their home. Minako could hardly control herself and began to cry. Roiyaru, picking himself up from the floor looked at his teary-eyes wife.
"He called you..." Minako tried to say. She tried to say it over and over again but couldn't.
"Dad?" Roiyaru finished. That's all Roiyaru had to say. Minako broke apart in his arms nd they fell to their knees. He pushed her hair behind her ear and tilted her chin towards him. "I love you, Shuensha Minako."

Serenity and Endymion were in their palace with Chibi-Usa in their bed. Diana purred upon Endymion's naked chest as Serenity spoke. "Mamo-Chan," she whispered. "I don't think I can take this every single millennium."
Endymion looked at her in the darkness and grabs her hand to bring to his lips. "You said it yourself," he said kissing her fingers. "Together we can do anything. Now sleep; we have a lot to talk about in the morning." Endymion said getting comfortable in the bed.
Serenity smiled when Endymion finished speaking. She loved him, and the child they had together. She just wanted reassurance that he would be with her. Serenity turned to the sleeping Chibi-Usa and smiled. "My daughter," Serenity whispered. Serenity knew what Endymion wanted to talk about in the morning. He felt that the time was right to begin training Chibi-Usa as a Sailor Senshi. "In the name of the moon, I shall punish you." Neo-Queen Serenity whispered, smiling to herself.
"Go to sleep dear," Endymion said. "Leave the lines to our upcoming fighter for love and justice."
Serenity's eyes brightened up in happiness as she and her husband joined in on whispering, "Neo-Sailor Moon." As if that was a goodnight between them, the couple fell asleep. Little do they know that Chibi-Usa smiled from ear to ear.
