Himeno Midori is right on the fact I am moving too fast, but the plot line will eventually slow down. I just needed to breeze past the parts that I thought was unimportant. But, if anything is confusing just ask in the review and I will attempt to go back, rewrite that part, and then repost it in hopes that that answers the question… or something of that sort. Sorry if it is too confusing. .;; I didn't mean to do that. Honestly

Kanzen's Revival!
The trip the beach had been arranged for Halloween, assuming all people were out doing their own thing and avoiding that place. Beryl had only agreed to let Diamond, herself, Malachite, Naru, and Umino go to this. She had her reasons… Diamond because he was helping to destroy the Crystal, Malachite because he wanted to tell the others everything, Naru and Umino because they helped research the red charka on Usagi's forehead.
Then there was Usagi.
She was looking rather pissed as she played around with the yo-yo in hand, trying to sort out her own thoughts. Everything kept on flashing back to the conversation she had with Beryl during their experiments to destroy the magical artifact from hell.
--- "Usagi, do you think you can handle what this possibly means?" Beryl questioned the white haired teenager as they sat in a secluded corner of the café.
"I can, Beryl, I have to." Usagi replied as Beryl noted that her reply lacked her charismatic spark that made Usagi a magnet for all of the evil turned semi-sane enemies. The ex-Queen could still see the danger beneath the Senshi's cold exterior but she could also see the pain of fearing what it could possibly mean to know the truth. She was trying to ignore her fear to hear this.
"This could possibly mean that Serenity, the created personality brought on by the crystal, merged with the shadowed personality of your bound self to create this." Beryl stated as Usagi sipped her coffee, nodding to the fact she followed this statement's line of thought. "If we destroy the crystal then the Usagi we know won't exist any more, you will be Kanzen Douji again."
"Then, you all will have to accept that." she replied as Beryl blinked in surprise. "If Kanzen is who I really should be then all is well."
"What about Usagi then? What about all of the people that know her?" Beryl demanded as Usagi glanced at her, catching green eyes with cold violet ones.
"Usagi never existed in the first place, she was created by Queen Serenity to be her puppet and daughter. How would you feel to be locked in your mind and not to be able to free yourself?" she asked as Beryl looked to the side, a sensitive nerve obviously struck by those words. "Metallia did that to you, Serenity did that to Kanzen, and now I want everything righted."
"Spoken like a true martyr, Usagi." ---
Naru and Umino looked a little worried about their friend and what this could possibly mean for their friendship, but they were willing to accept it all. They knew, deep in their hearts, that Usagi was different and that something was wrong with her. Malachite held Usagi as she started to doze off on their road trip to the condo that the Green Brother's owned as a getaway when needed. Diamond just watched the landscape pass as he was submerged in his own thoughts of how to do this.
Meanwhile the Inner Senshi had been attempting to cut them off before they either arrived at the place or started the destruction of the crystal, but were failing miserably.
They reached the place by night fall as Usagi stared up at the full moon. The others watched her as she pulled the Silver Crystal from her pocket. "Can we do it now?" she asked as Diamond and Beryl both looked surprised.
"Yes, but why?" Diamond asked as she sighed.
"It will take longer to recover then it takes to prepare." she replied as the two Dark Powers nodded. Malachite escorted Naru and Umino into the place as the other three moved down the beach to do what they came to do. All they could do now was hope that their stressed, white haired friend was right with her statement and right with herself after this decision.
Within four hours the Silver Crystal was sitting in the center of the circle drawn in the sand as the melding dark powers curled around it and worked itself into the crystal's surface and into a growing crack on the one side. Usagi sat on the edge watching, ignoring the headache that seemed to intensify with each attack. Beryl and Diamond sat across from her, watching in awe too.
"Hold it right there, nega-trash!" a voice shouted as the two groaned, but Usagi didn't move. "For poisoning our leaders mind, we will punish you in the name of…"
"Shut up!" Usagi sneered as the Senshi blinked in shock, including cats. "I have a headache and you're not helping so get out of here before I strangle you with my yo-yo." With that said she turned back to the crystal, the crack on the one side was not the only one now as about two other minor cracks appeared in the diamond's hard surface.
"You irresponsible little girl! How could you let them do this?" Luna roared and went at her 'charge' with claws out. Only she didn't get far as Usagi stood up and spun to face them, her face emotionless as her violet eyes stood out along with the red charka on her forehead. She slapped the cat to the side and glared at them.
"Meatball Head, has your puny brain finally snapped?" the pink haired spore, Rini, stated in her high and mighty tone as something finally happened after those strenuous hours of waiting. The crystal glowed brightly and then shattered. The shards were suspended in the circle and slowly turned to dust as Usagi clutched her head and fell to the sand, curling up in a fetal position as Beryl rushed to her side.
"Usagi!" Mercury shouted as the others held her back.
"Usa…" Beryl trailed off as the teen's body went lax… then filled in and grew a bit. The ex-Queen and ex-Prince then gasped in shock as they felt the dormant power in the woman that had been in their clutches. Beryl scrambled backwards as Diamond stumbled forwards away from her.

Kanzeon stood by the empty shell of Nataku, a beautiful lily in hand. She brought it up to her nose and inhaled it's fragrance as she watched what was happening. "Soon, Nataku, Kanzen will return to fulfill that promise she made and also to help her brother before he manages to kill himself with his stubbornness." she whispered as the boys vacant eyes didn't move. "You know she meant what she said."
--- -- -- ---
As both ex-royals stared at the now glowing figure as the power she held seemed to be increasing a bit more. Then the glow stopped and the power disappeared, but the change was done. The white haired teen was now a white haired woman that had a few jaws dropping.
Her hair was bound by a silver tube of sorts at the base of her neck as shoulder length bangs framed her face. Her attire was now a long, white, sleeveless top of sorts that hugged her torso and had slits from waist to her ankles as the neckline was lined in silver. Her long, slender legs were now cased in baggy black silk pants as the thick belt around her waist was silver. Her arms were now clad in white silk gloves that were held by a thin silver ring that was around her middle finger. Around the tops of the gloves was a unique coiling of silver arm cuff around her biceps. (Basically, if you are familiar with the view flash back episodes in Saiyuki (or the clothing of Gaiden Saiyuki) it is what Konzen wears only lavender is white.)
Kanzen brought her hands up and rubbed her temples as the ringing in her ears and mind quickly silenced itself. She had forgotten how much pain was brought with an unbinding of that sort. "After 500 years or torture of being stuck as my own prisoner, I am finally free." she thought, glancing around as the shocked faces. "Thankfully Queen Serenity did not have the power for a proper rebirth or else I might have been screwed." she stated, standing up as all still stared.
"Usa-ko?" Tuxedo Mask asked as he openly drooled at the sight of his future wife.
"No, Usagi is gone… I thank her for finally freeing me from that prison." Kanzen stated with a smirk as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Wake up, little girls; your perfect world won't happen."

Shouting, explosions, and cursing could be heard as Naru and Umino watched the flash of power from the condo's window. Malachite looked ready to faint, that was how pale he was now and it was only because this wasn't supposed to happen. Then he seen a woman in a revealing white dress and an oddly dressed guard walk down towards the area. "What in the world?" he muttered as Umino and Naru were still in awe.
