But keep the reviews coming because I love to know what you think.

anyway here we go...

chapter 9: Solar family and inner beginnings

Tranquility stood on the balcony of his bedchamber looking out over the gardens."The gardens are beautiful at this time of year."

"Solana, the sun doesn't have years. Besides it is no where near as beautiful as my betrothed or my sister."

"Cousin, we have always been close haven't we? Especially since the moon fell all those years ago. I ask you as your friend I ask you what is bothering you."

Tranquility sighed, "Father wishes to step down. I don't want to take the throne yet.Not until this war is over and I am happily with my Princess. The other thing is I want to tell Serenity the truth, she deserves to know..." he trailed off deep in thought.

"There isn't much I can do about your Princess of Saturn or the situation with the war and your father; however I could retrieve your sister and brother-in-law. If i bring them here then you can tell them the truth," Solana's hope for a smile to grace her cousin's lips faded as he turned to face her.

"The rule of the sun is that none but the heir can bring aliens to the solar palace. If this law is broken then the aliens will perish along with any and all involved. If anyone not already here is brought, I must do the bringing." Tranquility then turned to back to the garden. "Leave me, Senshi Sun."

As Solana turned to leave, a soldier entered, "Forgive my intrusion, Sire. The Nalgene are attacking the alpha quadrant, there has been a tragedy." With a nod from Tranquility the soldier continued, " The King was hurt in the attack. The healers say he will live but he will be out of commission for atleast a week."

"Very well, gather the troops and have them take off. We will meet our attackers head on." The soldier nodded and left. "Solana, if anything happens.."

"Don't worry, Tranq. If anything happens your sister and princess will know that you did it for them and we will fight the good fight as long as we are able and farther." Tranquility nodded.

"I must go to lead the troops, you and Astra are in charge in my absence." With a nod from Solana, Tranquility lifted his sword to call his birthright. "Soldier Sol Armorize!" In a blinding light that blinded all, even those of the sun the Prince of the Sun changed into his battle armor enabling him to do battle in any climate. The armor which resembled that of the earthian midevil armor only it was orange and red. Turning and jumping into the air toward the fleet of ships Solana was left alone.

"Be safe and come home in one peice."

>>>>>> on earth

Usagi came out of her trance and bolted for the phone. "Hotaru? I need your help...come over as quickly as you..." Usagi trailed of as the purple light appeared and Sailor Saturn stood before her.

Usagi hung up the phone."After the you know I tried transforming even without my pen and well... Sailor Saturn at your command."

"We have a mission, Sailor Saturn. However you will need to become one with your planet." Usagi said while transforming into a multicolored armor, no words were needed she had become one with who she was and Soldier Universe was one with her.

"How do I do that?"

"Saturn, focus on who you are and your connection to Saturn. Once you find the power within say Soldier Saturn Transform."

Universe then sat to wait however in mere minutes the Soldier of Saturn was before her in the blackest purple armor that anyone could concieve. "I am impressed, now we must be on our way." Universe grabbed Saturn's hand and the two teleported out of the room.

>>>>> somewhere in orbit of the sun closer than venus

Sol was using his powers and the Sun Sword to cut through anything he could; however things were not looking good. "Saturn Rings entangle!" came a female voice.

"My turn... Universe Rule of Justice!" Came a second female voice.

It took several more attacks before the ships stopped attacking. The two female soldiers turned to see all the ships in shambles. "That only took about five attacks each, not bad."

Sol turned to see the enemy ships in shambles and two armor clad warriors. "Who are you?"

"I am Soldier Universe, your niece from the future. This is my best friend Soldier Saturn, I believe you remember Princess Hotaru of Saturn." Sol's eyes brightened up at the name of his princess.

"Thank you, for your assistance. I believe I will see you both at Serenity's wedding? Saturn, I would be honored if you would allow me to escort you."

All Saturn could do was nod and Universe giggled at how her best friend and Uncle were reacting. "We need to get back. Call if you need anything."

>>>>> In the solar palace

"Astra, this is getting serious."

"What is getting serious, Solana." Tranquility asked entering the room.

"Just that Serenity and Darien's wedding is coming up and the war is getting worse."

"I know that, Solana. What about it?"

Astra then spoke up, "Hey, I was just thinking we are all related right?"

"Yes, that is what it is called when you share a peice of DNA. What about it, Astra? I don't have time for this."

"Well, what if Serenity still shares the DNA?"

"You mean that she could be related to our relatives that went to Earth to keep up communications?"

"That is exactly what I am saying. Solana, got a sample of hair from our Serenity. All that is left is to test it...all we are waiting on is your command."

Tranquility stood in shock if Serenity still had a single chromosome to connect her to the sun and she could come here, "Do it!"

"Right away, take it to the lab, Solana." Astra told her sister.

They soon were left alone. "Astra, I know you want to tell me a bunch of stuff I already know; however, my father is hurt and I don't know what I am going to do with everything that is being thrown at me."

"My Prince, what you are going to do is spend the rest of the week with your father.Solana and I will take care of the rest. Then once we return to Earth you will tell Serenity and Darien the truth about everything. Now, go get some rest."

Tranquility turned to leave took a few steps and then turned back, "Thank you, Astra. I don't know what I would do without you or Solana."

After Tranquility had left Astra spoke to herself, "Selene, watch over your son."

>>>>>> Serenity and Darien

Serenity a woke to Darien watching her sleep. "Darien, did you have any dreams about the past?"

"Sere, please quit pretending. I know everything of our past lives and I know you remember everything as well."

Serenity smile shrank, "Darien, I don't think the sun children were really reincarnated. I think that Travis is in every way Tranquility; not in the way that you are Endymion nor me Princess Serenity. I mean he is literly in every way Tranquility just as he was the last time I saw him on the moon only with a thousand years separating us."

"If that is the truth, then he will tell us when the time is right." Darien kissed her forhead then smiled his quirky smile,"Now, how about I help you relax and forget about your problems..."

Serenity smiled back as Darien proceded to do as he had implied.

>>>>>Inner Senshi

Queen Serenity stood beside Usagi as they watched the scouts study. "How can they have been mother's senshi?"

"The Senshi both inner and outer are chosen by birth not by the Queen. Even in the Millenium they were on the boarder of treason, this life they just went full bore."

"Grandma, why did you not just let them die on the moon?"

"Dear Usagi, everyone is entitled to a second chance and that is what I did. If they decide to not use it well then that is up to them."

"So, if this was there second chance then what are we doing?"

"Usagi, you may be to young to see this but there is good in everyone. That is why we must allow them the chance to heal and move on."

"Do you mean like how mom always gave everyone the chance to be forgiven?"

"Now you are getting it. Now, comes my job in the tests, I will see you at the next council meeting." Usagi nodded as Queen Serenity waved her hand over the inner senshi and they disappeared.

"Where are you taking them?"

"I am taking them to a place of reflection and learning..." That is when Queen Serenity disappeared leaving Usagi alone among the trees.

>>>>>A place of relection and learning

"Where are we?"

"I don't know. If that brat hadn't taken my computer I could figure it out."

"Rei, Ami... I don't think we are alone here." Makoto said looking around.

"Aunt Serenity?"

"You three haven't changed that much from the last time I brought you here a millenia ago.Rei is still as arogant and self centered as ever. Ami still thinks she knows everything and is willing to tell you that much. Makoto, the amazon, thinks she is all that and more. Strength is only an attribute not a state of mind. Then finally my dear niece, you think that you were given the position of leader based on merit. Minako, you were given it based on the fact that you were my daughter's double."

"What are you talking about?"

"This place is a place of reflection and learning. See you need to find some answers, first off: what makes you senshi? Who are you in this life? Why did you turn treason against the moon? And lastly, are you replacable? I will return in after I tend to some events and official things...think it over." With that Serenity left the traitors in the Elysian fields of dreams.

>>>>>On the sun

The week passed with Tranquility sitting beside his father's bed. The King's health steadily improving. The two worked things out King Orion would keep his position until Tranquility was married if the war was still on the so be it. Tranquility agreed as long as he got his betrolthed he would take the throne.

Astra and Solana kept things in as best of order as they coud and even concluded that Serenity had for the most part the DNA of her Princess-self. Darien even was for the most part genetically the same as his Endymion. By the end of the week the sun children were almost missing Earth and had a lot to tell their Princess and Prince.

>>>>> In America

The week passed as it normally did for Serenity and Darien. Both finishing off their finals, basic running around for the wedding and with Darien running around getting ready for Serenity's birthday. Friday found Serenity and Darien back at the airport waiting for two different planes.

Serenity smiled seeing both her brothers coming towards her. "Shingo, Travis, Astra, and Solana Welcome back.."

>

Well it isn't as long as I was hoping but it covers what I wanted to cover, so I am happy but let me know what YOU think. So the inner senshi aren't going to be in the next chapter or so at this point, I may have them pop in for little hints but that is about all(for now). So again I hope you enjoyed it and I will have another chapter up by the end of the week.
