Well this is wonderfull thank you to all of you for all the support.
now to the reviews: in regards to the inners reaction they all still think that they did what was right in their choice. They saw Serena as a klutzy, ditz but that is all I will say on that more will be revealed as the story progresses. What will be happening to Kenji and the Tsukino's is going to be addressed in a small part in the following chapters so I won't comment just yet. As for the rest of the reviews I hope you all continue to enjoy the story and we are on to:
Chapter 4: Youma and Dreams
It had been a quiet week, and the inner scouts were still trying to figure out what was happening. Ami's grades were dropping to a normal level and thus she had been removed from cram school. The other senshi were on egg shells waiting to see what was going to happen next. As they sat infront of the fire hoping that Rei would get a vision to tell them something.
Rei's eyes snapped open and she turned to face the group, "Youma in the park. Let's go!"
The three others nodded as they all transformed and raced to the roof tops to the park. In the park their was a tree like youma terrorizing any who mistakenly came in to site of the monster. "Hey you ugly time to get dusted, Mars flame sniper!" The three other senshi jumped as the youma laughed and countered with his own attack. "What happened? My attack!"
"This must have been what the Queen meant. Serena must have been what gave us the energy to pull of our attacks."
"Great, so what you're saying Mercury is that we can transform but we have no attack power."
"Not completely, Venus. I am saying that Moon gave us the additional power to pull off the attacks and that we would need to recreate that energy to create the attacks ourselfs. My best guess would be we would be lucky to pull off our first attacks."
"Alright, I am the strongest so I will try first." Jupiter closed her eyes concentrating on the feeling of how her first attack felt. "Jupiter...Thunder...Crash!" Slowly the energy surrounded her and the attack headed toward the target. As the attack hit the youma it laughed.
"Is that the best you can do?" the youma taunted as Jupiter colapsed to her knees exhausted.
As each of them attempted to do some damage each ended up in similar positions as Jupiter. It was here with the youma about to clobber them that the outer senshi found them. "World Shaking!" "Deep Submerge!"
With a scream the youma turned as, "Death Ribbon Evolution" and "Silent Scream." came flying in to finish the monster.
As the monster crumbled into a pile of dust Uranus charged ahead of the rest of outers and charged over an picked up both Jupiter and Mars and yelled, "What the hell did you idiots do?"
"What do you mean? We didn't do anything."
"You sure as hell did something. Because ..."
"Calm down, Uranus. Mercury, you may not realize it but what ever happened that caused you to become this weak has effected us too. The deep aqua mirror told me that you had caused this and so we have come."
"Fine. You want to know the truth, here is the truth." Mars took a breath as she looked around at the group. "We kicked her out cause she was THREE hours late to a battle and then she was found dead later that night."
The four outer senshi gasped, Pluto, who had been allowed leave by Queen Serenity had been on earth and hadn't seen the change steped forward, " You broke the treaty? You broke the treaty! Do you know what that means?" Pluto was very close to loosing it and that took a lot to do.
"Pluto, what are you taking about?"
Pluto took a deep breath before turning to answer Neptune's question, "All the planetary treaties are tied together. If even one of the senshi had betrayed her then all of us would have been tested. Seeing as though we are no longer in the Silver Millenium the tests would have been done from Elysian."
"You mean the dreams we had last week, they were our tests?"
"Yes, Uranus. all eight of us would have been tested."
"Pluto, is correct all eight tests have been completed and the results are as followed..." Came a new slightly familiar voice. All turned to see the Neo-Princess Serenity. "The Senshi of Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars... Failed completely. The Senshi of Pluto, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and the senshi of kinmoku Sailor Star-fighter, Star-healer, and Star-maker ... Passed with flying colors."
"Small Lady, what are you doing here?"
"Yes, pray tell why and how you are here considering your mother is dead?" Venus asked.
"I am here to give judgement on behalf of my grandmother. Senshi Venus if you believe that after a thousand years my mother would die and not come back then you have no reason to be a Senshi. You four have caused her death once but my mother's soul is immortal and will always come back whether in body or in spirit like Grandmother."
"Well even if the traitors are not happy to see you we are, " Saturn said giving her friend a hug. "You look older, how old are you?"
" My body is at the age of about fifteen, and those loyal to my family can call me "Usagi"; those who betrayed my family can call me "Serenity". I will be around so watch yourselves because I bring with me the full authority of the earth, moon, and more." With that Serenity smiled at Saturn and teleported away.
The senshi some smiling some frowning all left the scene to head home. The outers thinking of how well their future princess turned out and the inners thinking about what dreams could have been the test. Although they shouldn't have had to think hard as the dream came in three parts one of loyalty, one of responsibility, and the final of friendship.
(the first one is deciding on who should be leader of the senshi; the second was wether to save Sailor Moon Serenity> or someone else think fire in the barn>; And the final was Serena needing help or comfort and the senshi run across her as they are on their way somewhere else do they stay and help or run off?>)
>>>Darien's apartment
Serenity turned on the light as she entered her father's Tokyo apartment. She had taken the note to the landlord that her father had given her saying that she was a friend that had asked to use his apartment while he was away and that she had full permission to stay there. The landlord recognized her father's writing and had given her the key, so here she stood in the apartment remembering when she had been here last.
Finally she moved to the phone and picked it up and dialed the number her parents had given her and waited for an answer. After several rings a female voice answered, " Hello?"
"Mom, it's Chibi-usa." There was silence and then a male voice picked up.
"Who is this?"
"Dad, it's Chibi-usa. Is mom ok?" For a second time there was silence.
"Hello?" came a female voice.
"Is this Astra or Solana?" Serenity asked (now calling her Usagi unless in dialogue.)
"This is Astra, who are you and why did both Serenity and Darien faint?"
"Astra, I am from the future, I am Princess Neo-Serenity."
"You mean you are these two's future kid? and you know me?"
"Yes and yes. When they wake up tell them to call Dad's apartment in Tokyo I need to talk to them."
"Alright, Princess. Oh and they don't know who we are yet."
"Understood, Sailor Eclipse. Ja ne." With that Usagi hung up the phone and climbed into her father's bed and went to sleep.
>>>>In America - after the phone call
Darien and Serenity were having tea and recovering from their brief departure from consciousness. When Astra came in after hanging up the phone, "so it is time to tell them who we are. Travis, you here?"
"Almost, Astra give me five minutes."
"Alright we are going to start without you."
"So, your daughter would like you to call her at your apartment when you feel up to it." "Astra, what are you talking about? Daughter?"
"Daughter? Since when has my sister had a daughter."
"She is from the future and just called from Tokyo."
"How do you know about her?"
"Relax, Endymion. We know about you two, we are Sailor Eclipse and Sailor Sun..." Astra was interupted by a knock at the door. "And that would be Sailor Sol."
Solana moved to answer the door returning only moments later followed by a blonde haired boy about sixteen years old. "Hello, I was Prince Tranquility, brother to Serenity. In modern times I am Travis Watson and Sailor Sol. It is a pleasure to meet you both again."
Serenity had tears in her eyes as she jumped into her brother's arms. Darien slowly came to join them in a group hug. The rest of the night was spent catching up and getting to know each other again.
>>>>> In Japan
Shingo was sleeping soundly when his dream suddenly changed around him. "Brother, it is time you know the truth. Come to me."
"Serena? How?"
"When you wake up there will be an envelope beside your bed read it and do as it says..." Serena's voice trailed off as the dream came to an end and Shingo's alarm clock went off. As his eyes slowly opened he turned to his bedside table to see an envelope just as the dream had said. Quickly opening it he read through it as fast as he could. He was going to see his sister again.
