100 years later
"I am so late!" A girl around the age of 16 cried with annoyance, her feet hurriedly jumped down the steps towards the dirty popular subway of New York City. Her shoulder length blonde hair swayed behind her and she swerved in and out of people. She saw her destination and the doors that were about to close causing her tardiness to decrease.
"No!! No!! No!! Hold it! please wait!!" She wailed, begging the closing doors to re-open. She ran towards the train that would take her to school.
A large strong hand pulled the doors back open for the blonde as she ran to it. She looked up into deep midnight blue eyes that she could easily drown in, her breathing fastened and an unknown feeling spread through her. The empty void deep within her, that had haunted her through her life, filled slightly.
"Thank you…" She smiled as she entered the cart filled with adults carrying briefcases, newspapers and students with book bags.
For a second their eyes connected but he broke it with a returning, almost arrogant, smirk that she could have sworn she'd seen before. It annoyed the hell out of her and she scowled at him slightly.
"Your welcome," He muttered taking his place on a seat opposite the one the blonde had taken. She watched him pull out a newspaper from his smart and expensive looking briefcase.
She took this opportunity to properly study him. She started from his smart black shiny shoes up his strong looking legs hidden by black trousers and his muscular chest that was clearly shown beneath the dark blue shirt he was wearing underneath a white tie and black blazer. His strong chiselled outlined jaw faced down as his thick ebony hair fell into his eyes as he read the front page.
He took her breath away.
His eyes suddenly darted up to hers and connected for the second time in the past five minutes. She was sure everyone on the train could hear her heart beating like a big dramatic drum stuck in her throat.
"Can I help you?" He asked, noticing her looking at him.
A faint blush rose to her cheeks, realising she had been caught in the act.
She shook her head and broke the gaze, paying attention to the dirty floor beneath her.
He eyed her cautiously, her crystal clear blue eyes had pierced him for reasons unknown and when he felt her eyes on him his soul jumped with anxiety and a new excitement he had never felt before. Her eyes were now hidden by thick long lashes, which were now pointed towards the ground.
He studied her small petite frame and her luscious sun kissed hair. She was clearly a lot younger than him and he scowled inwardly at the thoughts running through his head.
He had the overwhelming urge to ask her her name, but he decided against it. Suddenly the train stopped and he heard her let out a sigh of relief as the doors opened and people started to exist. She jumped up just as he did. His newspaper fell to the floor along with the contents of what was inside her noticeable ripped book bag.
"Just my luck," He heard her growl.
At the same time they both bent down and reached for their fallen items.
His large hand brushed against her small soft delicate one and electricity and familiarity shot through them both like a volt of energy. She gasped and jumped back slightly, not pulling her hand away from his.
Their eyes locked and connected, both dived into each others souls as memories of their previous lives flashed through their minds and hearts.
Flash Of Memories
"Don't! Just don't!" Usagi's voice was breaking as the unshed tears built up, threatening to spill over her barrier.
"Usagi let me explain…" Mamoru begged holding out a hand to grab her arm gently, she dodged it and backed away slowly
"You don't need to…" with that she ran off.
Change of Memory
The pink haired girl out stretched her hand towards Emerald and was about take her cold bony hand when a warm body threw herself in the way.
Everyone gasped to see Serena standing between Chibi-Usa and Emerald with her arm's outstretched.
"You can't have her," Serena growled
Emeralds laughter filled the living room and everyone flinched
"Who are you exactly?" Emerald laughed
"Im her mother" Serena muttered, instantly Serena turned into Usagi, With long Odango's and her old school uniform that was to small for her, her eyes flooded with warmth and determination
Change Of Memory
"Im fine you guys" She gave them all a bright smile, she stumbled slightly, almost loosing balance and they were all at her side as quick as a heart beat. Tux put an arm under her back and an arm under her legs and picked her up swiftly, knowing she was weak.
"I knew that you would come for me" Usagi smiled, snuggling into his arms.
"I will always come for you Usako, I love you," He said, smiling down at her as she yawned.
"I love you too Mamo-Chan, Minna…"
The Senshi smiled as the princess fell asleep in the arms of the one she loved.
Change Of Memory
"You want me to live with you?" She asked blinking several times
He nodded again then took her hand in his "I love you Usako, I want you to move in with me"
Usagi beamed, leaping into his awaiting arms, knocking him back slightly. His grin widened
"Yes! Yes! Yes!!!" She yelled excitedly "Of course we'll move in with you!!"
Chibi-Usa squealed happily and she ran and hugged Usagi's back eagerly.
Change Of Memory
"NANI! Nooooooo!" He dropped to the floor dramatically and spread out his arms. "Not more boxes!!"
"Hai, more boxes" Usagi grumbled, bowing her head so her bangs fell over her eyes.
Mamoru sat up and stared at the petite woman infront of him. "Are you sure? How many boxes could one woman have?? Really??" He asked again, his eyes pleading her to say no.
Usagi lifted her head "Nope, I was just saying that to wind you up" She broke out into hysterical laughter as Mamoru's eyes widened.
"Right that's it!!" Mamoru got up and stormed over to Usagi. She stopped laughing and squeaked. She began to run away, however, she wasn't quick enough, Mamoru's large strong arm wrapped around her small waist and pulled her towards him.
"You're gonna get it now" He growled as she squirmed in his arms squealing, with his free arm he started to tickle her. She screamed and giggled helplessly, thrashing around trying to be freed. Tears poured down her cheeks as her sides started to ach.
"S…Stop it Mamo-Chan!!!" She pleaded through giggles. He grinned and continued to tickle her. "Put," Giggle "Me," another giggle "Down!!" her demanded, more tears pouring down her cheeks.
"Ahem…" A feminine cough made them freeze. They both looked up to see Chibi-Usa standing a few meters away from them with her arms folded and tapping her foot impatiently. "Are you children quiet finished?" She asked. Mamoru let go on Usagi and bowed his head in shame. Usagi grinned with triumph, then her grin soon faded when she saw the expression of her future daughters face. She also bowed her head.
"Yes Ma'm," They both mumbled together
End Of Memories
The blonde gasped, snapped out of her revive and fell back into her bottom.
"Mamo-Chan…" She whispered in Japanese. Tears filled her blue depths as images of dying Senshi and Generals imprinted themselves on the inside of her eyelids.
Flash To Memory
"IIIIIIIIIIEEEE" Usagi screamed with fury, spit evaded her mouth as she quickly raised her hands and opened the palms.
Jupiter suddenly felt stabbing pains jab at her as she felt herself getting flown through the air. She felt the impact of the cold dirty ground and then she saw darkness.
----
Mercury looked up with the sound of her name and she gasped as she saw Usagi open her palm. It was to fast for her to move, just as she was bracing herself for the pain she saw a body jump infront of her and take the blast.
The body fell to the floor and stayed motionless on their front. Mercury stared at the limp body infront of her and felt her breath leave her as she stumbled back, realization hitting her hard. She started to shake violently she covered her mouth with her quivering hand.
"Z…Zack…"
----
A piercing painful scream suddenly filled the air. The shield around Mamoru broke as they all saw the Senshi of water crumble to the ground, motionless.
----
Mars landed a few inches infront of James, her eyes were closed and her face was swollen from the attacks being thrown at her. She was bleeding furiously from the stub that once used to be her arm.
Her eyes opened, they were watery and full of pain. Her violet stare connected with James's and he let out a cry as she gave him a brave smile.
"I love you," She mouthed before her eyes closed and her head fell with a small thud against the cold and dirty road beneath them.
------
Kyle leapt infront of Venus, with Nate on his arm, just in time for the ball full of cruel power to crash into them and send them flying backwards into Venus. She landed on the hard concrete, winded and aching. She let out a small scream as she pushed the bodies off of her.
------
Her eyes snapped open and she opened her palm, blowing up the ground inches away from the black cat. Luna flew through the air and crashed into a wall near by. Her crumpled body ploughed into the ground as she laid there motionless.
-----
Diamond smiled and sent a huge green energy ball towards the white feline. It slammed into his small body and he flew back and smashed into the same wall Luna did. There he lay dead next to his only true love.
End Of Memories
Her eyes were wide as dinner plates, filled with shock and confusion. His eyes matched hers as he simply stared at her.
"Am I dreaming?" She breathed staring at the shell-shocked man infront of her.
Tears welled in both pairs of eyes as his face screwed up with disbelief and guilt.
"U…Usako?" His barely audible shaking voice managed to stutter out.
They continued to stare at one another. The memory of the excruciating pain that she felt when she died lingered on her tight smooth skin.
Memory Flash
His eyes followed the dying body as it fell with a thud onto the floor, writhing in utter shear torture and blinding pain. Her head turned as she looked up into Mamoru's distraught dark blue teary eyes.
"Im so sorry Usako" He gasped as sobs wracked through his strong muscular frame causing him to shake uncontrollably. He could barely hear Minako and Chibi-Usa crying behind him as James sniffled with loss.
A sudden light-filled Usagi's eyes, her hair erupted like a golden blonde waterfall, it fell around her dying cold body. She stared up at Mamoru through proud and understanding crystal clear blue eyes. Love shone through her windows clearly.
Mamoru's eyes widened. He ran and dropped beside her, picking her up as the golden light around them faded. A small smile graced the princess's lips, blood trickled down from the corner of her small pink mouth as the light from her eyes faded for the last time and he felt her go limp in his strong but shaking arms.
End Of Memory Flash
She rubbed her arms unconsciously, not breaking eye contact with her former love and reason for her death.
"I remember…" She blinked, a tear rolling down her cheek.
"…Everything…" He finished her sentence.
Both stood up at the same time their destinations forgotten.
She looked around them, snapping out of their gaze. People that were there before were no longer. Now different people were pilling into the small carriage.
"We should go…" She whispered
She started to walk away, out of the train and out of the subway with a hesitant man trailing behind her.
When they were out of the subway she turned to him with tearful eyes.
"I was evil…" She gasped, a tear falling down her cheek. "I killed… everyone…"
He just stared at her, afraid that if he didn't then she would disappear.
"I…it wasn't…you" He replied, his eyes drifted along her heart shaped face. She was just like she looked back then, minus her Odango hair.
She could see the guilt and sorrow in his midnight blue eyes that were glistening with unshed tears. She could almost hear his inner haunting thoughts ringing in her ears.
"You had to do it…" Her voice was slightly stronger now, his eyes snapped from her small pink mouth to the windows to her soul.
"I…" He started but was cut off with her blonde shaking head.
"It wasn't me… if you didn't do it then the earth would have been destroyed…" She comforted, she took a small step closer to him, her eyes not leaving his uncertain eyes.
"How are we here…?" He asked in a small whisper, he ached to hold her, to caress her lips with his own.
She shrugged, looking around the busy streets of New York City.
"My name is Serena in this life time…" She laughed slightly "Ironic isn't it?" Her mind flashed back to her previous life of when she ran away to England.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he nodded slowly.
"My names Darien…" He looked into her kind warm eyes as a tear escaped his barrier.
They were both overwhelmed, confused with what to do… what to say… How to react…both wanted so much to just bury their heads in each other's arms and never emerge again.
"Do you think the others were reincarnated?" She asked her eyes filling with tears of guilt and sorrow again. Tear after tear fell down her rosy cheeks.
His eyes widened at the sight of her broken heart and his soul ached for her grief.
"The generals…Luna…Artemis…" She choked back a sob
He took a brave step towards her and drew her into his trembling arms. She sobbed into his strong comforting embrace. She had been missing something all her life without realising what she was missing until this moment.
He had also felt the emptiness inside him that had all of a sudden disappeared.
"Im so sorry Usako" He gasped into her soft blonde hair, tears also falling down his cheeks.
They cried in each other's arm for a while when suddenly everything around them went deadly silent.
They pulled away from each other only enough to look around. Everyone was still, the cars… the people…. The birds…. even the traffic lights weren't changing.
"What the hell?" He frowned, unconsciously holding on to her tighter. She shared his confused and worried look. She had no form of transformation in this life time. If it was a Youma she was only an ordinary teenage girl with no powers.
"Relax your highnesses," A soft calm serene voice echoed around them.
They looked around alarmed, the voice sounding slightly familiar to them both.
Suddenly a woman with long green hair appeared in front of them. She was wearing a sailor suit and realisation hit the couple.
"Sailor Pluto…" He frowned.
She was wearing a kind smile and was eyeing them both.
"The timeline has been restored," The Senshi stated simply
The frowns on both of the couple's faces deepened.
"What do you mean? W…We…d…died…" Serena stuttered
"You two meeting here today was not by coincidence it was merely destiny finding its rightful path again…Certain events in your previous lives were not meant to happen in the way that they did so the timeline had to reset itself in order for the final outcome to occur…"
"I don't think I understand…"
"You didn't think your book bag was ripped and the contents fell on top of Endymion's by coincidence did you? You were meant to meet…meant to touch for you're memories to be recovered and for you to restore the timeline…"
Darien smiled slightly and looked down at the blonde in his arms.
"You are both soul mates and in any life time you will find one another," Sailor Pluto stated, "It is your destiny's and fate in one power to bring you both together,"
Serena grinned up at him and her arms that were placed on his chest drifted to around his waist and she held him closely.
"So now it is time to put order back into the timeline…"
Both royals looked at the Senshi.
"Wait a second… is there still going to be Crystal Tokyo?" He asked
Pluto smiled "Yes, you have your memories and your powers are still with you but to be able to use them a special event must occur for you to connect to those powers once more. Then Crystal Tokyo will form and the great sleep with fall upon the world."
"And Chibi-Usa?" Serena asked, she took in a deep breath and awaited the Senshi's answer.
"Will be born" She replied with a grin
The blonde screamed with relief as tears poured down her cheeks, she hugged Darien even tighter and he smiled as tears of joy fell down his strong face.
"Thank god…" He sighed
"What about the others?" She asked
"Are reincarnated and living normal lives without any memories of their past… there memories will be restored after the important event that needs to take place…"
"How do we unlock our powers?" Serena asked once she had gathered herself.
"I am afraid I cannot tell you for it is an event you must discover on your own…do not fear Princess Serenity all will fall into place in time,"
The blonde nodded with understanding and rested her head on Darien's chest. She stared at the green haired Senshi.
"Now I must bid you both goodbye and leave. I have deserted my post too long already. Good luck to you both and remember that your love is everything," She bowed and gave them a smile, which they returned whole-heartedly.
"Till we meet again," Then she disappeared and the noisy busy streets of New York returned to there day.
Serena let out a sigh in Darien's arms.
"What event do you think she was talking about?" She asked the ebony haired man
Darien also let out a sigh and looked down at the blonde in his arms. He was just so happy to have her back, alive and Usagi again even though she was Serena in this life time she still had Usagi's personality and looks. He rubbed her shoulders comfortingly.
"Chibi-Usa lives…" She murmured with true happiness
Darien smiled. "Yeah… she does…" His eyes flickered as the memory of her fading away in his arms flashed through his mind. He took a deep breath and shook his head trying to rid himself of the haunting image.
"You are forever my knight in shining armour" Serena stated cheesily then she blushed and giggled. "How corny!" She cringed then her face turned serious as she looked into the deep blue eyes of her past love. "But true…" She smiled up at him.
Darien was taken back. But he killed her… he destroyed her with his golden crystal…
"But I…" His protests were cut off by her strong, thick tearful voice
"No buts Mamo-Chan! You saved me from the evil that was possessing me… you didn't kill me at all you only freed me and saved me from the internal suffering that was overwhelming me and hurting me" She stated, a tear falling down her cheek. "You done a brave and heroic thing, you saved this planet and our love!"
Darien stared at her.
"Forgive yourself! Baka!" She grinned through tears as he smiled, tears of his own pouring down his cheeks. She reached up and softly brushed them away, her soft small hand lingering on his strong masculine face.
He looked down into her beautiful crystal clear teary blue eyes. Gently she pulled his face towards hers slowly and cautiously. Darien's eyes widened as her lips edged closer to his. He jumped at the opportunity and closed the gap between them.
Relief, electricity and pure happiness shot through both bodies as there lips brushed softly and eagerly. They needed this. Both making up for the lost love they had been deprived off, Darien deepened the kiss as sparks flew.
Bright silver mixed with gold spread from their connected lips and surrounded the pair, bathing them in a loving, calm and tranquil aura that sent peace throughout the city of New York. Time froze the world once again as the couple devoured each other.
Somewhere in the world 4 girls and 4 men let out horrifying painful gasps as memories and images invaded their minds. Flash after flash after flash coursed through their heads and their souls as they watched their lovers die and experienced the pains of their own deaths again.
Then a final peaceful image filled their senses as they watched their former Prince and Princess renew their love for each other through a single deep and meaningful kiss. A silver and gold aura surrounded them, filling the others with serenity and reassurance.
Then they were returned to their lives. Each had a smile rested on their faces, teleporting away leaving behind a glow of their respected and representing colour.
When Darien and Serena finally broke apart for air they felt their powers return to them with an overwhelming surge of energy. A surge wind surrounded them; Darien's short ebony hair blew wildly as Serena's shoulder length hair flew around her.
They held hands at arms length and stared at each other through dazed and serene eyes. 8 confused people suddenly appeared around them.
Everyone looked around with gasps of shock but joy.
Serena's eyes filled with tears as she looked at each person and drank in there presence.
"Oh…my…god…" The blonde Minako look alike gasped, she leapt on Serena and hugged her tightly, everyone followed suit and they all joined into a huge hugging session, all either crying or nearly crying with relief, sorrow and joy.
Serena sobbed in their arms as flashes of their murders filled her mind like haunting hallucinations. Unconsciously she held the former blonde Senshi and the former raven haired priestess tighter.
"Im so sorry you guys!" She sobbed into their comforting warm arms.
"It wasn't you Usagi-Chan!" The blunette former genius cried, tears pooling down her pale cheeks as she hugged the backs of the tall amazon and a former general named Kyle.
When they broke away from each other to breath and to wipe their red eyes they all looked at each other. The raven-haired girl leapt on a blonde haired man who hugged her with a strong loving force. The brunette tall girl jumped on a strong taller brunette man who sobbed as he held her. The blonde haired bubbly girl just stared at a white haired man then all of a sudden let out a strangled cry and buried herself in his arms and finally the small shy girl with blue hair just smiled with teary eyes and let a long sandy haired man hold her tenderly and needingly.
Serena just smiled slightly, sobbing uncontrollably and shaking forcefully until Darien held her shoulder comfortingly letting her know he was there. She looked up at him and smiled, their eyes connecting and he smiled in return.
The former protectors of earth were sat gathered around a large table at a local New York café, time had continued as if nothing had happened and the group were laughing and catching up on their previous lives.
"How did this happen?" The blonde now called Mina in this life asked around the table, her eyes settling on Serena and Darien who were holding each other closely.
"I guess with Usagi and Mamoru's—I mean Serena and Darien's kiss it unlocked our memories with the power set between them…" The blunette still called Amy in this life time explained
"So we have our memories, do we have our powers?" The tall amazon called Lita asked Amy with a frown.
"According to Pluto we should do…assuming this was the event she was talking about… " Darien explained
"Well let's try it…try calling them…" The raven still called Raye suggested
Everyone looks at each other and nodded.
"MARS POWER" She screamed, her eyes were shut tight in concentration.
Apart from the strange looks she received from passer bys, nothing happened.
She let out a sigh.
"Now what?"
Everyone slumped over, trying to think of options to bring back their missed powers.
"Even if we do get our powers back, do we carry on as us in this life time? Or carry on as the Senshi that once lived 100 years ago…" The brown haired amazon asked
Everyone sighed.
"This is too confusing and overwhelming" James grumbled, his hold on Raye's hand tightened.
"We need Luna and Artemis" Mina sniffled
Serena looked at the blonde through startled eyes, she had suddenly remembered about the two wise felines.
"What do you think happened to them?" She asked the table full of people
"We were sent back to the moon unable to interfere with the timeline until it had been restored…" A new female voice echoed around them.
Everyone gasped and looked around them. There sat on the wall behind Serena sat one black cat and one white cat, both smiling widely with tears in their eyes.
"LUNA! ARTEMIS!" Serena screamed, leaping behind her and grabbing them both in a grip hug, sobbing sorry's and soaking their fur with wet salty tears.
"Serena! Calm down! You have nothing to be sorry for… hush little one…" Luna soothed, nuzzling her soft black head against Serena's wet flushed cheeks.
The girl hiccupped continuously as she sat back allowing the felines to breathe.
Everyone hugged the cats and greeted them with tears and smiles; Mina hugged Artemis fiercely and refused to let him go.
"How did you know Usagi's present name?" Zack asked curiously after the emotional reunion had subsided.
"We have been watching you all since you were all born again" Artemis explained
"However, we were unable to interfere for Pluto said it would mess up the timeline again and would send things out of balance so we had to wait until this day for us to return to you all" Luna smiled at the table and they all smiled back whole heartedly
"Do you know how we can retrieve our powers again?" Kyle asked
"Yeah, have you got a pretty brooch for me again, Luna?" Serena asked with stars in her eyes.
Everyone grinned at the blonde's perkiness.
"Unfortunately, no… but it will be easy to retrieve them…" Luna laughed
Serena pouted and Darien pulled her closer to him so she was almost sitting in his lap.
"How?" Nate asked, getting slightly impatient. He hated feeling so powerless and weak, unable to protect the one he most loves and cherished and unable to protect his Prince and Princess.
"And will I get my silver crystal back?! Is it destroyed!?" Serena cried all of a sudden
"Both you and Darien should retrieve your heirlooms back, do not fret Serena…" Artemis explained quickly
The blonde let out a sigh of relief and fell back into Darien's arms.
"Ok…. And how do we do that?" He asked
"Pluto?" Luna shouted into the air
Suddenly time froze and the purple Senshi appeared before them all.
Everyone smiled, remembering the time keeper from either their former life or from the silver millennium.
"Why do we need Pluto?" Mina asked "No offence,"
The older Senshi smiled "None taken… You do not need me but only the cover of time," She replied gracefully
"Ok, now join hands everyone" Luna ordered
Everybody around the table joined hands. As soon as the last couple connected a strong burst of wind and energy surrounded them all.
"Ok now one after another you must call your planetary powers, by doing this you shall be reawakening your powers fully and you will once again be able to protect the world from the forces of evil and go on to create Crystal Tokyo and within that Utopia and place full of only peace and love." The small cat smiled as she watched everyone close their eyes full on concentration and determination.
Everyone took in a deep breath and strong winds surrounded the circle, their hair flew around them as pieces of rubbish that once had a home on the ground circled around them too. As if on queue Raye screamed into the air:
"MARS POWER!" A pure red aura swallowed Raye, mixing with her dark raven hair.
"JUPITER POWER!" Lita embraced the feeling of her green energy over come her senses, as she held onto Nate's hand tighter.
"MERCURY POWER!" Amy was instantaneously enveloped in blue as calmness and serenity claimed her soul and her limbs.
"VENUS POWER!" Mina was soon surrounded by her signature orange colour of love aura and a peaceful smile rested on her face.
"GAUDIAN POWER!" The generals cried together, James glowed red as his grip on Raye's hand increased. Nate glowed the same dark green as Lita. An aqua blue that matched Amy's glow, surrounded Zack and Kyle shone a bright orange, the same colour as Mina.
"EARTH POWER!" Darien yelled as a fierce bright golden light shone around him, he suddenly felt his powers return to him fully with a filling sensation that left a small smile on his face.
"MOON CRYSTAL POWER!" Finally Serena screamed into the air as she felt the familiar radiant silver aura envelope her and embrace her, warmth spread throughout her body as she felt the sudden impact of her full powers returning to her.
"SAILOR PLANT POWER!" Everyone shouted together as one. Their eyes snapped open in unison, clear and focused.
Small golden wands flew out of nowhere towards the 4 Sailor Senshi and each caught it with a sharp movement. They felt suddenly complete, their hands were filled and they beamed.
Small disks in the shape of stars also flew out of nowhere towards the four generals. Each caught one and they stared at them through wide eyes.
In the middle of the small star were the planet earth and the planet of their specific lover over lapping it, around the two entwined planets was a large crescent moon. The generals looked at their lost loves and grinned along with them.
A steal tipped rose flew out of nowhere. A large strong hand caught it before it could go further. Darien stared at the pure blood red rose in his hand. He was back, tuxedo Kamen was back! His eyes drifted to an object that seemed to be floating behind his rose. It was gold and it was pulsing at him.
It was his Golden Crystal that he had used to destroy the one he loved the most.
Did he want it back? Did he want to be constantly reminded of the painful memories of what happened on that fateful day a hundred years ago?
Whilst Darien was fighting inner battles, a pink-circled brooch with a crescent moon sat in the middle of it flew at Serena.
She didn't catch it in time and it hit her on the head with a thud and she fell off her chair onto the floor with a wail, her brooch soon landing on top of her head once more and bouncing off of it to lay motionless on the cold ground infront of her.
"Your such a Klutz, Meatball brains" Raye pointed out dryly in English. Everyone else was laughing to themselves at the familiarity
"Shut up Raye!" Serena whined, she grabbed her pink brooch and pulled herself off of the ground onto her chair. A happy smile on her face was aimed towards the small trinket she held so carefully in her small shaky hands.
She turned nervously to Darien, hoping to get a nudge of support but instead she saw him staring at his Crystal with a puzzled and strained look on his face.
"Mamo-Chan… I mean…. Darien?" She corrected herself. When he didn't respond she lightly touched his arm. He jumped and his head shot towards her.
"Aren't cha going to take it? Or are you just going to stare at it all day…" She giggled
Darien blinked at her, then turned back to the golden treasure floating infront of him.
He carried on staring at it, unable to reach out to touch it. He just wanted all the painful memories and hurt to fade away.
"It's not going to bite Mamo-Chan," Serena exclaimed softly, then she whispered, "Any memories you have are in your head and your heart, not in your crystal. We can turn the bad memories into the good ones…" He shivered slightly. It was scary how she could read his thoughts. He looked at her and nodded, a smile gracing his firm lips.
He reached out and took the golden crystal, from there it slowly entered his body and his Golden aura disappeared, now he finally felt whole.
Serena grinned at him and he grinned back. The just stared into each other's eyes, drinking in their feel of each other and their presents loosing themselves.
"Come on meatball head! Open your brooch!" Raye shouted
The couple snapped out of their gazes and Serena stuck her tongue out at the raven-haired former priestess.
"Yeah come on Serena! Don't you want to unlock your powers?" Mina smiled
"Of…Of course I do…" Serena's attention focused back to the little pink broach in her hand.
"There's nothing to be nervous about Serena…" Lita encouraged
Serena looked up at the black cat with a set frown on her delicate face.
"What if its not there?" She asked through worried, scared eyes
"It has to be there otherwise your broach wouldn't have come to you…" Luna explained with a kind smile
"Oh…" The blonde muttered softly before adverting her eyes back to the broach.
"Can't you feel it Princess?" Kyle asked
"Well…umm…. not really…" She stuttered. She didn't miss the looks of concern each Senshi shot one another.
"There's only one way to find out Serena…." Amy urged
"You can do it" Darien's deep smooth voice rang through her ears and she all of a sudden gained confidence.
She reached out a shaky hand and cautiously opened the small pink broach. A gasp escaped her lips
"Its…. Its…its grey…." Her small voice whimpered helplessly.
She was right. The once bright pulsing radiant silver crystal was now a dull dingy dirty ugly greyish colour.
Darien leaned over and looked at it. His eyes widened.
"Pluto, should it be like that?" He asked
The green haired Senshi smiled warmly and comfortingly "Yes your highness, For the time it was used it was controlled by evil… it needs to be cleansed for it to regain its true power… try transforming, Princess,"
Serena looked up at Pluto through terrified eyes.
"Will I be able to?" Her small voice asked.
The woman nodded in reply with another smile.
"…Ok…." She took in a deep breath and held up the pink broach. She threw all her effort, energy and concentration into her crystal and her power. "MOON CRYSTAL POWER," She screamed as loud as she could.
A blinding pink and silver light exploded around her, everyone had to shield their eyes because of the intensity of the light. Serena was lifted high into the air as one by one her Senshi Uniform materialised on her body. Great power filled her as was finally lowered to the ground.
Everyone opened their eyes to stare at the legendary and well missed Sailor Moon.
Serena looked down at her familiar pink boots and blue frilly short skirt and let out a piercing high pitch, ear-bleeding scream that was unnatural for any being to do. She jumped up and down continually screaming happily.
"It worked! Im me! Im Sailor Moon again!" She shouted spinning around "MOON TIARA ACTION!" She shouted, throwing her powerful golden disk at a far away table where a china cup burst with the contents pouring all over the frozen customers.
"IT WORKS!!" She screamed, beaming happily. "Thank you Pluto! Thank you Luna! Thank you everyone!!!!" Then she ripped off her broach from her chest and opened it, inside was her powerful bright radiant silver pulsing crystal staring at her happily.
She smiled wider and jumped on a laughing Darien who hugged her eagerly. He swag her around as her sweet soft giggling lit his world once more. When he put her down she was still grinning widely.
"Everything's going to be ok," She stated, nodding her head and smiling at everyone. Everyone beamed back and nodded with reply, holding their lovers closer to them.
"Everything's fine," Pluto confirmed "The timeline is finally restored and you may now lead your normal lives to the full until the time is right for Crystal Tokyo to rise. If there are unfortunate enemies in the future then you are now prepared to battle if that situation might occur."
"Thank you Pluto," Serena bowed with gratitude, Pluto curcied back politely with a kind smile.
"Good luck to you all," She said gently.
"Farewell Sailor Pluto" Amy waved
"Goodbye!" Mina giggled holding Kyle close.
"Until next time, eh?" Raye grinned, hugging the purple Senshi close.
"Sayonara…" Lita bowed with a teary smile
"Thank you," Darien shook her hand gently and bowed his head slightly.
Pluto grinned and teleported away.
Serena turned to the group with a teary face.
"Whats the matter Princess?" Nate asked gently
"Its just a shame my past family cant be here," Serena replied, a tear falling down her cheek.
"But they will in the future." Luna explained
Everyone turned to her shocked.
"All your previous and current friends and family will be reborn in the future and you shall each know them all, either as your parents, friends or most loyal servants and part of the royal court." Artemis finished before the black feline with a smile.
"Im so glad!" Serena breathed.
Darien came up behind her and hugged her tightly to him.
"I love you," He whispered in her ear.
She shivered slightly and turned around in his arms with a bright smile.
"I love you too, my Endymion," She reached up and he lowered his head and their lips met for a blood boiling, heart soaring kiss that sent the earth shaking.
Everyone watched the lovers with teary smiles.
"What a perfect ending to a tragic story," Lita held her hand over her heart and Nate held her closer.
"No, What a perfect beginning," Mina wiped her eyes and hugged Kyle with all her might.
Time suddenly restored as passers-by watched 10 couples sharing an eager loving kiss and 2 cats rubbing noses tenderly, lovingly and finally peacefully. They smiled at the bright shining, calming aura reflecting from the warriors, that sent deep peace throughout the world.
The End
