After everyone introduced themselves they grew quite no one saying a thing until Dr. Mizuno walked up to the group.
Everyone stood up as Amy walked up to her mother, 'Mom how is Kimberly", she said gently.
smiled at everyone, "Kimberly is fine she pulled through the surgery just fine she is in her room resting she is probably awake by now I must go check on her I will let you know more once I go check on her, she got really lucky it looked as though most of her damage was healed up or whatever pierced her missed a lot of her organs….but she made it through everyone now if you will excuse me I must go check on her", she said as she walked away from everyone.
Tommy fell to his knees as tears rolled down his face, the rangers gathered around him as they all held their leader as tears rolled down there faces as well.
Serena turned to hotaru as she hugged the young scout, "Thank you so much Hotaru, because of your healing ability you were able to save Kimberly from having any permeant damaged done to her thank you so much", she said as tears rolled down her face.
Hotaru stood there hugging her princess, "Of course princess she is my princess and I wasn't going to let anything happen to her", she said gently.
Serena pulled away as the scouts hugged each other in a group hug happy that their friend was fine and was going to make it.
Tommy stood up as he walked up to Hotaru he hugged her fiercely, "Thank you Saturn I am forever in your debt once again…. you saved my pink crane I can't thank you enough", he said as his tears kept coming down his face.
Hotaru hugged her prince back tightly as she finally let her tears fall, "She is my princess just as you are my prince it's my duty to protect you both from harm", she said quietly.
Dr. Mizuno walked inside of Kimberly's room to see that she was awake she smiled at the young girl as she checked her vitals, "How are you feeling Kimberly", she said kindly.
Kimberly looked at the doctor, "Like a truck ran over me honestly", she said kindly.
Dr. Mizuno smiled, "That's to be expected dear but your recovery is remarkable and you look fine we will just keep you in here for another night just to make nothing happens to you dear then you will be released", she said checking Kimberly over.
Kimberly nodded at her, "Thank you doctor for saving me I really appreciate it so much", she said sweetly to her.
Dr. Mizuno nodded, "You got a lot of people out there waiting on you shall I allow them in", she said as Kimberly nodded to her.
Dr. Mizuno went to the waiting room she smiled at everyone, "Kimberly is awake and waiting for you guy's", she said as everyone smiled and followed her to Kimberly's room.
Dr. Mizuno knocked on the door as she heard a gentle come in she walked back inside as she smiled at the young girl, "Your friends are here my dear", she said as Kimberly smiled at her, 'Thank you doctor", she said as Dr. Mizuno walked out and everyone went inside of her.
"Kimberly", the rangers shouted as they ran to her hospital bed and hugged but was careful of her injury.
"Guy's I'm fine you know no monster can keep me down", she said smiling at them.
Tommy kissed her deeply not caring who was around them he gently pulled away from her as he held her face, 'Don't ever scare me like that my crane I can't imagine my life without you", he said as Kimberly smiled at him, "I'm sorry my prince I promise to never scare you like that ever again", she said gently.
"Princess…. I….", said Setsuna.
Kimberly tossed her legs over the beg being careful of her injury she slowly got out of the bed as she stood on her toes she looked Setsuna in the eyes, "Sailor Pluto you are my sister and friend and this was never your fault I knew the risks and I took it do not be hard on yourself", she said in a regal voice.
Setsuna looked up at her princess she slowly walked up to her, "You remember…. but how", she said as fresh tears rolled down her face.
"When I was under my memories started flowing back into me I remembered everything including the fall of the sun kingdom", she said as fresh tears rolled down her face.
Saturn walked up to her princess, "Your majesty I'm so glad you remember us I didn't think you would regain your memories", she said as she hugged her gently.
Setsuna turned to the other outer scouts, 'Neptune…. Uranus…. we must swear our oath to the heir of the sun kingdom once again and resume our duties to protect her and the prince of earth", she said in a gentle tone.
"No, you don't", said Kimberly.
Serena walked up to her sister as she hugged her, "I'm so glad you're alright but why don't you want them to swear their oath to you", she said pulling away.
Kimberly looked at everyone as she turned to her outer scouts, "They may be my guardians who did swear an oath to me when I was on the sun but they are my sister's first and foremost and they have been here with you Serenity I can't take them away from you…..I love these girl's so much we have fought side by side with each other we have been to battle with each other….that's why I am releasing the outer's from there duty from the sun kingdom…", she said as all were silent.
"Princess…. you can't be serious….", said Setsuna.
Kimberly smiled at her scouts, "Yes I am serious…I release you from your duty from the sun kingdom but in order for me to do that I need my sun crystal from you Pluto", she said kindly.
Pluto quickly transformed as she stood in front of her princess she opened her subspace pocket as she produced the sun crystal as she did everyone felt an immense power coming from its Kimberly's crescent moon and sun moon insignias appeared on her forehead.
Kimberly walked up to Pluto who bowed to her as she gave her princess her crystal, Kimberly touched the crystal when she did power blasted everywhere covering everyone in its power as it did memories started coming back to everyone except the rangers but they felt the power of her crystal.
Neptune and Uranus felt their memories being unlocked about the sun kingdom they saw everything including the fight on the sun where they saw their princess being attacked and the king being attacked as well, they saw how she sent them to the moon to help the moon kingdom fight against their enemy.
Amara and Michelle opened their eyes as tears rolled down there faces, they couldn't believe they forgot those memories of their princess their sister in arms.
"Princess….", they both said as they ran up to her and each hugged her not wanting to let them go.
Hotaru and Setsuna joined in on the hug never wanting to let go of their princess.
The inner's along with Darien opened their eyes as they to regained their memories of Kimberly, tears rolled down there faces especially Serena she couldn't believe that she forgot about her sister, she always wondered why she felt half empty but now she felt complete.
Tommy opened his eyes as he walked up to his princess he gently took her hand as he kissed it with tears rolling down his face he remembered his death and how much he loved her he died protecting her and he would do it again in a heartbeat.
Kimberly looked each of her scouts in the eyes she knew she was making the right choice by releasing them from there duties, they all deserved to live their lives they shouldn't be bound to her and not get the chance to enjoy life.
Kimberly cleared her throat, 'My friend's it is time to break the oath", she said kindly.
"But we want to protect you princess why are you breaking our oath", said Michelle.
Kimberly smiled at her dear friend, "I want each and everyone of you to enjoy your lives, I don't want you to be bound by duty to protect me and I can protect myself…I want you to live free one day when the time comes to take the throne and it will come then we may reestablish our bond until then you will be free from duty", she said sweetly.
Amara hugged her princess, "Thank you princess…. we promise to still always protect you no matter what", she said stepping away from her.
Kimberly nodded as she held her sun crystal high up as she did her henshin pen came forth she grabbed it, 'Sun Eternal Power", she shouted as she was bathe in a bright orange light everyone had to covered their eyes because of the magnitude and power coming off of Kimberly.
Kimberly slowly began to transformed into sailor sun she had a white bodice on the front of her bodice was her ribbon which was the color of bright orange, with an orange crystal on the front of her bow, her skirt was a bright orange, on the back of her bodice was her bright orange ribbon on the back her ribbon strap were long almost touching the ground on her feet stood her bright orange boots with sun spikes sticking out on the back of her boots, on her back stood bright orange wing's that were angelic on her forehead stood her crescent moon insignia along with the sun insignia, on her head stood her sun crown showing everyone she was the future heir to the sun kingdom on her buns stood bright orange balls that blinked brightly.
Once her transformation was over everyone eyes widen there in front of them stood Kimberly no Sailor Sun, the outer's kneeled as they quiet transformed into their scout forms.
Sailor sun produced her sun staff as she did raw power was pouring off of her in deep waves, Amy pulled out her mercury computer as she began gathering data from Sailor Sun.
"Her powers are way off the charts, there more powerful then Serena's right now", she said looking up at Sailor Sun.
"Rise my guardians", said Sun in a regal tone.
The outer scouts stood up as they looked at their princess future queen of the sun kingdom.
'My dear friend's you have always protected the sun kingdom from danger and even protected me and my father from danger but now is the time for me to set you free from duty so that you may live a peaceful free life of duty…I Princess Kimberly Serenity Ann Hart future Queen of the Sun Kingdom release the outer scouts from there duty and protection of the sun kingdom", she shouted as she banged her staff on the ground.
The outer's felt their planet insignia appeared on there forehead's they each felt the break from there oath to the sun kingdom one by one they were each surrounded by bright orange light that slowly began to withdraw itself and go towards Sailor Sun staff.
Once the light died down the outer's stood there as they each looked at one another they turned to there princess then to Serena, no one didn't know what to say.
Kimberly slowly fell to her knees as she dropped her staff.
Tommy walked up to her, "Kimberly…. are you alright", he said worriedly.
"Princess", said the outers as they kneeled down in front of her.
Kimberly looked up as she took a slow breath, 'I am fine everyone just used to much energy I'm not used to my power's being back it's going to take some time for me to get adjusted to them again", she said quietly.
"Let's get you back to bed to rest", said Tommy as he picked her up and gently placed her in the bed.
Kimberly quietly detransformed as she lay in her bed she grabbed Tommy's hand, "Don't leave me we must speak with the ranger's", she said.
Serena and the other's watched the exchanged she walked on the other side of Kimberly's bed she grabbed her hand, 'Sister…I am so happy we have found each other again…I promise to protect your guardians just as they have been protecting me", she said kissing her sister hand.
Darien walked up behind Serena as he took the hand that Serena held and kissed it, "Your majesty I am glad to be in your presence once again and I am sorry for what happened on the sun", he said as he gently kissed her hand.
The inner's stood off to the side speechless they each looked at each other not believing that Kimberly just released her scouts from there duty and that they can live a free life until she ascends to the throne.
"Guy's….", said a shocked Raye.
"She released them from their duty…. if she could do that…do you think Serena could release us", she Lita.
Mina rounded on her scouts, 'No…. we made an oath to the moon kingdom and we are not breaking that oath to live our own lives we sworn to protect Serena and that is our duty nothing more nothing less", she said angrily.
Amy turned to Mina, "Mina you can't mean that we all have our own lives now we no longer live on the moon or even the princesses of our own planet's anymore we were reborn to have our own lives and we all have dream's….you can't tell me that you don't have a dream once were done with school…yes it's our duty to protect Serena but we owe it to ourselves to enjoy our life just as Serena is enjoying her's", said Amy.
"Amy is right we all have a dream and I want us to live it until she ascends to the throne and us just serving her not having a life isn't fair to us and you know that mina", said Raye.
"Yeah Mina….my dream is to become a chef…I love serena and I love being a scout and protecting her but I also want a life and a dream of my own my entire life can't just revolve around Serena while her and Darien are able to be happy and have their dreams while our dreams fade away and we aren't happy", said Lita.
"I can't believe I am hearing this, each and everyone of you are betraying the crown and the royal family to have a dream when we became scout's again that oath became in tacked once again we are bound by duty to protect her not have dreams of our own yes she can have a dream but her royal court is to follow her and make sure she has everything in her life", said an angry Mina.
Kimberly smiled at Darien as she giggled at him, 'You're still the charming prince as you were when I first met you", she said kindly.
"Kimberly…what's going on and what was all of that", said Aisha.
Kimberly turned to her friend's, "All will be revealed once I get out of here I can't talk about it to much in the hospital room", she said kindly.
"We trust you Kimberly", said a quite Adam.
"Boy am I hungry I could go for some food", said Rocky rubbing his stomach.
Billy shook his head, 'Of course you are Rocky when are you never hungry", he said laughing.
Kimberly looked at her sister, "Would you mind taking my friends to get some food please I doubt they want to eat hospital food", she said kindly.
Serena and Darien nodded, 'Of course we can there is a place we can take them to go eat then have them come back here with you", said Serena.
Darien turned to the ranger's, "Are you guy's ready to go", he said as the rangers nodded.
Tommy got up as he stood in front of Darien, "Darien I was hoping we can spend some time together before we go back home", he said kindly.
Darien turned to his brother, 'Of course we can brother there is so much we must discuss", he said patting his shoulder.
Serena turned to her friend's but frowned when she saw them in a heated discussion with one another she walked over to them, "Guy's what's going on…why do I feel a lot of tension coming from you guy's", she said.
Before Mina could talk Amy jumped in, "Serena there is something we want to talk you about", she said urgently.
Serena not liking the tone of Amy nodded, "Sure guys why don't we go to the crown the rangers are hungry and we were going to take them there while Kimberly get's some rest", she said as the scouts nodded.
Kimberly turned to her friend's she smiled at them as they crowded around her bed, "I need to speak with you once Serena take's the rangers and inner's out of here it's urgent", she said seriously.
"Come on guy's let's go grab some food and give Kim time to rest", said Serena as the inners and Darien waved bye to her.
The rangers waved good bye to her as they walked out of the room only leaving Kim and Tommy and the outer's alone in the room.
"What's going on princess", said Amara.
"Enough with the princess guy's you can call me Kimberly we aren't on the sun anymore we live a different life now", she said smiling.
"Ok Pri…. I mean Kimberly what is it", said Michelle.
"Setsuna, Hotaru, I know you have abilities that Serena and the inners don't truly know about but I am asking you to tell me the truth I won't strip you of your power's but I need to know is…. Trinity behind all of this", she said quietly.
Setsuna and Hotaru turned to each other as they turned back to there princess and nodded at her.
"Yes…Kimberly she is behind everything she was never defeated on the moon after Queen Serenity sealed Beryl and Metalia away she along with Rita managed to get away to where I don't know we had all died by then", said Sestuna.
Hotaru down casted her eye's there was something that everyone didn't even know only she knew because she was lone survivor until she used her attacked and ended up dying right behind everyone else.
Kimberly looked at Hotaru who's eyes were down she gently grabbed her hand, "What is it Hotaru…. why do you have your eyes down casted", she said gently.
Hotaru looked up at everyone as fresh tears rolled down her face, Tommy came around and grabbed her other hand, "Why are you crying Hotaru…. what has caused this", he said gently.
Hotaru looked her prince and princess in the eye's as more tears rolled down her face, "My prince and princess there are some thing's that you don't know happened on the moon…as everyone had died you know I was the lone scout there since your mother told me to destroy the moon kingdom but I had a standoff with Galaxia and she was strong, stronger then anybody that I have ever faced before we battled but it was what she told me", she said softly.
"What did she say Hotaru", said Amara.
Hotaru looked up at Kimberly, "Princess apart of chaos lives inside of you…. his very essence is inside of your soul and the only way to get it out is by killing yourself or letting him consume you…. when you died she managed to latch a small part of chaos inside of you…. but that isn't all your majesty", she said.
Kimberly's eyes widen she couldn't believe what she was hearing, a small part of chaos lives inside of her and the only way to get rid of him is by killing herself or letting chaos consume her.
"What else Hotaru", said Michelle.
"Hotaru you can tell us", said Tommy.
Hotaru took a deep breath she knew what she was going to say was going to change everything forever she gently let go of her prince and princess hands as she stood up and walked towards the window she turned to everyone, 'Galaxia was pregnant….and she informed me who the father was", she said quietly.
Kimberly couldn't believe what she was hearing, her cousin had somehow gotten pregnant and Hotaru knew who the father was for some reason Kimberly got a cold feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"Hotaru who is the father", said Kimberly.
Hotaru turned to her princess as she dropped to her knees in front of her she looked up at Kimberly, "I'm sorry princess but the king is the father…..I didn't believe it cause I knew his majesty would never do such a thing but she claims it was true I don't know where the child is but I know that he was a boy…..I'm sorry your grace please forgive me", she said looking back down.
Kimberly stood there motionless no her father couldn't have slept with her cousin they were family after all she couldn't believe it no she refuses to believe it but Hotaru wouldn't lie to her about such things not this.
Everyone was silent not believing what Hotaru just said no it couldn't be true his majesty wouldn't have done such a thing to his own family.
Tommy knelt in front of Hotaru and grabbed her hand and gently pulled her up, "You have done nothing wrong Hotaru…. I know it was hard to reveal this secret you've kept for so long", he said wiping her tear away.
Setsuna, Amara, and Michelle stood around their princess who had yet to move after learning what she just heard.
Kimberly couldn't breath let alone see anything around her all she could hear was the fact that her father slept with her cousin and got her pregnant and now there might be a son out there her little brother could be out there somewhere and she wasn't aware of it.
"Kimberly", said Michelle as she gently touched her shoulder but when she did she had to jump back as she felt her princess begin burning up.
Tommy walked up to Kimberly when he felt a change coming from her he stood in front of her as he did he notice that her eyes were turning a bright orange almost yellow color when he went to touch her he had to pull his hand away from her she was burning up.
Setsuna walked up to her princess, "Princess please answer us", she said as she to tried to touch her but she had to jump back from her as she felt complete heat coming off of her princess.
Amara stood in front of her princess, "Kimberly please snap out of it your better then this…listen I know your in shock right now but please come back to us", she said hoping she could reach Kimberly.
Kimberly felt something snap inside of her she didn't know what it was but she felt something was awakening inside of her slowly and apart of her wanted to cling to it so badly she slowly began going towards the source not aware that her powers were being activated.
Hotaru stood off to the side feeling like it was her fault that her princess was like this she walked up to her prince, 'Your majesty I think I need to leave…. I am the source of all of this and it's my fault that she like this", she said quietly.
Tommy grabbed Hotaru's hand, 'No it isn't Hotaru you did right by telling her everything and this turn of events has changed a lot for her so please don't blame yourself I thank you for telling us the truth so please know this isn't your fault what so ever", he said wiping her tears.
As Kimberly stood there a voice suddenly came to her mind, "Come my dear…. come closer to the darkness…embrace it my dear…you are apart of this darkness…. let it consume you slowly until there is nothing left but pure darkness inside of you….", said the voice.
Kimberly slowly felt her spirit changed it started to shift with her power's being activated she slowly felt a piece of darkness latch on to her soul as she did a black dot appeared in her eye's showing that chaos has slowly began to manifest inside of Kimberly.
"We have to do something to snap her out of this", said a worried Amara.
Hotaru quietly transformed as she stood in front of her princess pointing her glaive at her princess.
"Saturn what are you doing", said a shocked Setsuna.
Saturn's eyes were hardened as she looked at her princess she saw that something was wrong with her what caught her eye was two black dots on her eye's her eyes widen she knew chaos was trying to take ahold of her she resumed her neutral face not listening to anyone.
"Stand down Saturn", said an angry Tommy.
Saturn ignored him, "Who are you Kimberly tell me NOW!", she shouted at her princess.
Kimberly felt someone shouting at her she began to focus on the voice as she felt chaos still trying to taint her a little of her focus began coming back to her, "I….am…", said Kimberly slowly.
"Tell me who are you, are you weak and pathetic or are you strong and mighty", said Saturn in a cold voice.
"What is she doing", said Setsuna.
"She is trying to reach the princess", said Michelle.
Kimberly was trying to fight her way back, "I…am….str…ong….an…d…. mig…. hty", said a struggling Kimberly.
Tommy was at a lost for words he thought Saturn had lost her mind and was trying to harm Kimberly but he was wrong she was trying to help Kimberly come back to them he walked up to Saturn and stood next to her.
"You are strong Kimberly, you are brave, you have conquered so much my crane and you will get through this but you have to come back to us my love", said Tommy slowly reaching out his hand to gently touch her hand.
Kimberly felt someone grab her hand she knew that hand but she couldn't figure out who it belonged to, but the hand felt warm and soft she heard what the person said to her something inside of her trying to fight chaos control.
No…. you won't escape me my dear….no matter you will belong to me…as I have already latched on to your soul's essence…. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha….", said chaos as he receded back into her soul.
Kimberly gently squeezed his hand back, 'I am Princess Kimberly Serenity Ann Hart heir to the Sun Kingdom, I am Sailor Sun strong and mighty", she said slowly coming back to everyone.
Saturn slowly began lowering her glaive down from her princess until it touched the ground, "Princess…. are you alright", she said quietly.
Kimberly slowly fell to her knees as Tommy grabbed a hold of her and gently place her back in the bed everyone crowded around her as Kimberly sat there not saying anything.
Saturn came upon her face as she looked at her eyes she saw they went back to brown but she still saw those two black dots she knew chaos had managed to get ahold of her from her emotions she slowly backed away from everyone as she stood off in the corner she turned away from everyone she couldn't alert them that chaos has made itself appear she could only tell the prince.
"Kimberly…", said Tommy.
Kimber turned to his voice as she looked at her prince, "Tommy…", she said quietly.
"Thank goodness your back princess you gave us a scare there", said Setsuna.
"Yeah don't ever scare us like that ever again", said Amara grabbing her hand.
"I'm just glad your alright princess", said Michelle gently.
Kimberly sighed she didn't mean to make everyone worry about her but hearing the news that she just received just made her lose control of herself she turned away from everyone as silent tears rolled down her face she couldn't believe what she just heard and she didn't know how to process it.
Saturn turned back and watched her princess distraught face she sighed as she walked up to everyone, "My prince I must speak with you now", she said in a neutral tone.
Tommy looked up at the young scout he knew that tone of voice when she spoke it meant something was wrong or something is about to happen he nodded as he turned to the rest of the outer's he smiled at them, 'Please watch over her for me", he said as they nodded.
Tommy gently got up and walked over to Saturn who motioned for them to step outside as she quietly detransformed.
"Hotaru…was it", he said as they stood outside of Kimberly's room.
"Chaos has made an appearance my prince", she said quietly.
Tommy's eyes widen, "Are you certain…how?", he said urgently.
"Look into her eye's…I notice two black dots in her eye's appeared that means that chaos has made an appearance inside of her….he has latched on to her soul based off of her emotions that she was displaying….my prince we must try to find a way of getting chaos out of her….if he continues to latch on to her soul she could become corrupted or even worst she could kill us all….she is more powerful then Queen and Princess Serenity combined together….we have to find a way to get him out of her before it's to late….", she said urgently.
Tommy leaned against the door as his legs almost gave out on him he looked up at Hotaru and saw how serious she was, Kimberly could kill them all if chaos got full control of her he couldn't let that happen not to his crane it would kill Kimberly if she found out what she could do and how powerful she truly was.
"What can we do to prevent all of this", said a distraught tommy.
Hotaru sighed, "I don't know my prince we could make sure her emotions don't get out of control but I fear with the revealing news that it just might push her over the edge especially if she speaks to the king about all of this", she said quietly.
Tommy head popped up, "Wait you know about Zordon", he said shocked.
Hotaru nodded, "Of course we do why did you think he didn't want Kimberly to remember her past life or even fight again as Sailor Sun because he knew how powerful she was if she got her memories back…there are a lot of thing's that the king will have to speak to you about…me and Setsuna have been watching you and the princess for a long time my prince we know all about you being rangers from the beginning, how you each got your powers…we were told to not interfere by the king because he wanted Kimberly to have a normal life well without her scout powers mostly but it's in Kimberly to fight and serve justice to those who have been wronged…..Kimberly wasn't supposed to come to that battle Setsuna knew that but we really did need your help….", she said with her head down.
Tommy slid down on the floor not believing what he was hearing, Zordon knew everything and never once told him or her about there past life or anything about themselves. He could fault Zordon for a few thing's but he couldn't for everything since Zordon didn't want Kimberly to fight again as a scout plus he had two scouts watching out for them but everything in between just blew his head off.
Tommy gently grabbed Hotaru hand, "Thank you for telling me everything Hotaru you truly are a great friend and scout and I appreciate you so much right now", he said as Hotaru looked up at her prince.
Hotaru nodded, 'Of course your majesty…. we shouldn't tell Kimberly just yet I'm afraid she might have another reaction to her emotions", she said quietly.
Tommy sighed, "I don't keep anything from Kimberly but for this situation you are right we have to keep it from her so we can figure out a way to save her", he said as he slowly got up with the help from Hotaru.
"Let's head back inside my prince", she said as her and Tommy walked back inside of Kimberly's room.
