Author's Note: I'd like to deeply apologize for the delay getting this epilogue up. I was pretty blocked on how the first scene should go. Plus for the past few weeks I've been having sort of a hard time at my job and have been dealing with some personal stuff.

I'd also like to thank my beta reader, masterray5 for help with the first scene in this epilogue. He gave me a good starting point for the setting and also put in one little tweak for me. I must admit I went a little trashier with this epilogue's opening than I'm used to going with this type of scene, but I'm overall I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, nor do I own the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

Epilogue

After defeating Yog-Sothoth at the ruins of Innsmouth, Ami and the others had gone straight back to the apartment Erica and Satoru had been using as a base. As soon as they arrived, Erica left to take care of some errands she needed to take care of. Ami meanwhile went to take a long shower. About twenty minutes had gone by since then, and during this time Satoru had been sitting on the couch looking at something on his phone. Next to him on the couch was a long coil of rope he had found while in Innsmouth.

At long last Ami came out of the shower and entered the living room wearing nothing but a powder-blue towel. "Is Erica not back yet?"

Satoru shook his head. "She said what she had to do would probably take a while. How are you doing?"

"Better after my shower, though I'm still feeling just a little tense. By the way, what's the rope for?"

Smirking, Satoru put his phone down on the coffee table and rose from the couch, taking the rope in hand. "If you're up for it, I was thinking we could use this rope for a little 'experiment' I had in mind."

Ami blushed. "Oh! Well…I could use the release. What would I have to do?"

"Take off the towel and get your pretty little rear over here. I'll do the rest."

Ami let the towel drop to the floor and came over to Satoru. Satoru turned the compliant blunette around and put her arms behind her back. While consulting the screen on his phone, Satoru wrapped the long rope around Ami's forearms, and then twice around her torso so that it was above and below her breasts. The blonde then pushed Ami down onto her knees and then tied the remainder of the rope around her legs so that she couldn't stand and her crotch was splayed open. Once the rope was secured, Satoru lifted Ami off the floor and placed her on the center of the couch.

As Ami struggled a little against her bonds, Satoru stepped back to admire his work and nodded. "Okay, looks like I got it right. How's the rope feel? Did I get it too tight?"

Ami blushed again and looked away. "It is digging into me a little, but it's not too terribly uncomfortable."

"Well, if we do this again, I'll hopefully get better with practice."

"Okay, but…I can't really do anything like this."

Satoru smirked. "That's the idea. Trussed up like this, you can't do anything except take my dick however I choose to give it to you."

Ami gasped and her eyes went wide. "Well then…it seems I'm at your mercy. Do with me as you please."

Satoru grinned and quickly removed his pants and underwear, freeing his massive erection from its fabric prison. He then grabbed onto the bound Ami's waist and forcefully shoved his rod into her already moist womanhood. Ami's breasts bounced as Satoru pounded into her, and his movements caused the rope to dig deeper into her skin.

"I don't know why, but the pain from these ropes is making this feel so much better!" Ami cried. "Pound me harder! Screw me like a bitch in heat!"

"You're asking for it, you little slut!" Satoru responded.

The two of them continued on like this for about five more minutes, their bodies becoming covered in sweat. In one sweet moment, they finally climaxed together, and Satoru released a massive load into Ami's womb.

Satoru pulled out, and the two of them caught their breath.

"I had no idea you had this sadistic side to you," Ami remarked.

"Neither did I," Satoru admitted. "I guess seeing you chained up in that dungeon in Innsmouth stirred something in me."

"Well…I find I like this side to you. So let's keep going!"

Satoru nodded and took off his shirt. He picked Ami up and placed her face-down on the couch so that her rear was in the air. Getting onto the couch behind her, Satoru grabbed Ami's hips, used some of the nectar from her pussy as lube, and shoved his rod into her backdoor.

"This time I'm gonna fill your slut ass with my cum!" Satoru declared.

"Do it! DO IT! Make me into your personal sperm dumpster!" Ami cried.

Satoru continued to pound Ami's ass hard while slapping her right hip, earning more cries of mixed pain and delight. The legs of the couch creaked underneath them as they rocked with their movements. It was a wonder one of the legs simply didn't snap off. They went on like this for what seemed like another eternity until they both finally came to a hard climax. Ami's second orgasm was so intense that she saw white spots appear before her eyes.

After a moment, Satoru finally pulled out of Ami and set her upright on the couch again. It was at this point that both of them happened to glance at the door to the apartment and saw that it was open. Erica was standing in the doorway with her hand frozen on the knob. Her jaw was hanging open like when she had walked in on them in Innsmouth, and her face was deathly pale.

"Uh, Erica!" Satoru cried out as he frantically attempted to cover both himself and Ami with the couch pillows. "How…how much of that did you see?"

"I arrived at the time the term, 'sperm dumpster' was used, so…far too much," Erica answered as she stiffly walked in and closed the door behind her. "Now, I have a couple of things to discuss with you, so I'm going to give you both ten minutes to put something on. Five minutes should be about the time I'll need to throw up."

With those words, Erica walked across the living room like a wind-up doll and reached the bathroom, firmly shutting the door behind her. Satoru and Ami could hear the sound of her barfing into the toilet.

"…You should probably untie me now," Ami finally suggested.

"On it," Satoru responded as he immediately began to undo the knots of Ami's bonds.

It was actually about fifteen minutes before Erica finally finished puking and made it out into the living room. Satoru was sitting on the couch fully dresses, while Ami was next to him wearing only a white bathrobe. Erica didn't know why Ami hadn't taken the time to get fully dressed, but she decided not to dwell on it. The pink-haired Sailor Valkyrie also decided it best not to dwell on the rope burns she saw on Ami's lower legs.

After taking a moment to compose her thoughts, Erica cleared her throat. "Okay, I wanted to inform you that I'm about to depart and meet with my comrades," Erica began. "It seems their respective missions have also gone well. The important thing I want you both to know however is our business with the Old Ones is far from over. The celestial alignment which allows the Old Ones to become active will last for some time. We may have broken up the Knights of Dagon, but the god they served, Cthulhu is still a very real threat. The same goes for his brethren, Hastur the unspeakable, the Black Goat, Cthugha, and many others still. Very soon we will have to unite again to face them."

Ami nodded. "If that's the case, we'll be ready."

Erica nodded back and headed for the door. She stopped upon reaching the doorway and turned back. "By the way, for the sake of whoever ends up with this apartment in the future, burn that couch before you leave."

With those words, Erica shut the door tightly behind her. Ami and Satoru saw a flash of silvery light through the crack at the bottom of the doorway.

"So according to what Erica said, we'll be in for another battle here in the very near future," Satoru realized.

Ami nodded. "I suppose we'll have to be ready for when it comes, but I don't want to think about it right now, not today."

Satoru nodded. "Fine with me. I suppose this means we should probably be on our way soon."

"Oh! I should probably check my phone. I heard it receive a few text messages earlier while I was in the shower."

Ami got up and went to the bathroom to retrieve her phone. She returned to the living room just moments later, still looking over the list of texts she had missed. The first few were from her mother, but the last one was far more important.

"I got a message from my friend, Haruka," Ami reported as Satoru came over to stand behind her. "She, Michiru, and Setsuna have rented out a mansion in the Tanba Mountains for a few weeks and have invited me, Usagi, Mamoru, and the rest of the gang to come to stay there."

"Sounds like it should be fun," Satoru responded. "I assume you're going."

"I am, and you're coming with."

"Um…I'm not sure I'd be too welcome there, given my unfortunate history with the rest of your friends. I remind you the last time I saw them, I tried to kill them and take Usagi's Silver Crystal."

"But that's in the past. If my friends have a problem with you, they'll just have to deal with it. Besides, I'm certain Mamoru will at least be delighted to see you."

Satoru nodded. "And I would be very much pleased to see him. Alright, I will accompany you. Besides, I don't really have anywhere else to go for the moment. It will take me quite some time to reclaim the life I had before Beryl made me into her minion again."

Ami sat back down on the couch and planted a quick kiss on Satoru's lips. "Then it's settled."

"I should probably start packing up my things here while you check out of your hotel. While I'm at it, I'll start looking at flights back to Japan."

"Do we have to do all that right away?"

"I suppose it could wait for an hour or so. Why?"

Ami began to take off her robe. "I want you to tie me up again. And this time I want you to give it to me in the mouth."

Satoru smirked. "You asked for it, you dirty little whore."

A chilly wind blew through as Reverend Jim walked down the streets of New York City. Several people passed him by on the sidewalk but paid him no mind. To those people he was just another faceless background character they passed as they lived the course of their own selfish little lives; just another fellow insect crawling along the ground of the massive decaying concrete forest of the city. Reverend Jim hated having to walk through this festering mound of cement and mortar and looked very much to the time when Great Cthulhu would obliterate it from the face of the earth. Thankfully that time would soon be upon them.

At long last Reverend Jim came to his destination. An abandoned little Catholic Church sandwiched between two apartment slums. As he crossed the street, Reverend Jim noticed a homeless man sitting at the street corner asking him for a few dollars. He paid little attention to the man though. While the reverend wanted to help the man he had no cash on him, and in the end, there would be no point. The man's wretched existence would be over soon enough when Great Cthulhu rose. Until then, the homeless man and all of those unfortunate souls like him would have to suffer just a little longer.

In another few moments, Reverend Jim entered the church. Standing in front of the pulpit in the dim light streaming through the stained glass windows was a man in his early sixties with neatly cut silver hair, wearing a grey suit with a red tie. Pinned to his lapel was a small silver and black pin in the form of a symbol for the Esoteric Order of Dagon.

"Welcome, Reverend Jim," the old man greeted. "I'm sorry we have to meet under such circumstances."

"I'm glad you could meet me, Brother Thomas," Reverend Jim responded as he came up and shook the older man's hand.

Brother Thomas nodded. "So it's true? The Knights of Dagon you started have been wiped out?"

"It seems a rival power was at work. We lost everything, including the shoggoths we found and many of our brothers from the deep."

"Terrible! Just terrible!" Brother Thomas shook his head and folded his hands behind his back. "Well, I've already spoken with the rest of the council. You have the Order's full support. In the meantime, feel free to use this church as your base."

"I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Brother Thomas."

"So, what's our next move?"

"The rival power I spoke of, the Sailor Guardians…until we can free Great Cthulhu from his prison in R'lyeh, they may cause problems for us."

"The moment you told me of these so-called guardians we had our people start looking into them. You said you know who one of them is?"

"Yes, and it would be wise to keep her under surveillance, especially since it may lead us to the rest of her group." Reverend Jim then raised an index finger in the air. "More importantly though, we must make the public see them as the enemy. We must show everyone that these so-called champions of justice are in fact devils that will lead the world away from its salvation!"

Brother Thomas smiled and nodded. "I understand perfectly. It'll take some time, but I think our people can get a pretty good social media campaign going against them."

Reverend Jim grinned. "Perfect! The Sailor Guardians can struggle all they want, but nothing they do will be able to stop the coming of Great Cthulhu. In the end, they'll all be washed away."

THE END

Afterward: It took way longer than I would've liked, but this story is finally finished! With the completion of this story also comes the completion of the first phase of what I'm calling the Old Gods Saga, the Shitennou Cycle. This last story in the cycle was definitely the hardest to write for multiple reasons. I hope I brought things to a satisfying conclusion.

While this story concludes the Shitennou Cycle, the Old Gods Saga is still far from over. The events of this story, Bride of the Yellow King, The Witch of Glenwood Manor, and The Cydonia Foundation will all continue the shared sequel: Revenge of the Old Ones

Before we get to that though, I still have one more story to do. In our next installment of the saga, we get to find out what the Outers were dealing with around the time the Inners and the Shitennou were fighting their battles. So stay tuned.

In the meantime, please review and let me know what you think.
