However I wish to thank all of you reviewers for your continued support and hopefully my next chapter will be faster in coming. Enjoy and thank you again.

Tests of Harmonia:
Rei's next test was that of Harmonia and this test found her in the futureā¦
Serenity stood to one side and Endymion to the other, both yelling that the other was possessed or brainwashed. Harmonia closed her eyes and focused finding neither enchanted nor mystified in anyway approached the middle of the room and asked, "What is wrong?"
Serenity answered, "Endymion, wishes to begin a war."
Endymion responded, "It is what the world needs. Hostility will lessen the crime and violence that we are experiencing."
Both faced Harmonia, "Choose!"
Harmonia thought for a moment, closed her eyes and then stepped toward Serenity. "I am a warrior bound by oath and over the years have never found fault in the ways of my Queen."
"So that is your choice? Well then, I didn't want it to come to this. Jupiter!"
Jupiter faced Mars, "You choose wrong and now you will pay."
"Jupiter are you blind? Endymion is going to begin a war that may break apart all that we have worked towards." Mars cried out to her friend.
"Serenity is weak while Endymion is strong and from the ashes of war a mighty civilization will rise."
"Have both you and the King gone mad? What of your oath, Jupiter?"
"You will pay for your treason, Harmonia. I am standing by my oath to protect this planet, not some pitiful crybaby."
Harmonia closed her eyes and transformed into Eternal Sailor Mars. "The planet of Fire is forever loyal to the Moon. Jupiter I will not allow you to disgrace your planet further. Mars Fire Trial!"
Jupiter and Endymion found them selves surrounded by flames and soon were consumed by them. Mars fell to her knees, "Forgive me. I only did what was necessary to protect you, Serenity."
Serenity smiled. Rei looked up as the Queen faded away to reveal Aries. "You did well my child and have passed all the tests placed forth before you, a true Senshi of the Moon."
Rei fell into the waiting arms of her father and cried for what she knew she had to become, or may have even become. Aries stood just holding his child letting her tears fall for even the God of War had a heart and it could never bear to see his child cry.
