Luckily, all that had to be done with Christen was to stop the bleeding, thoroughly clean the wound, and dress it. After that, Rei reversed the ritual on the wolf-girl. "Christen?" Rei wanted to know if it was safe to hug her dark-eyed daughter.
"I never realized how much I missed my fire!" Christen let her flames warm her hands up, then turned to Rei. "Oh, you can hug me now..."
"It's so good to hear your voice!" Rei embraced her raven-haired child with slow tears dripping down the stunning Shrine Maiden's face.
Dawn and Ami needed the same as Christen, but with antibiotic ointment and painkillers added. Also, they had a bit of trauma, but Neo-Queen Serenity had them in the best therapy for that. Turning Zoisite's blonde daughter back into a human helped her feel better physically. However, she and Ami still had feelings or actions of fear, depression, blame, anger, anxiety, nightmares, loss of appetite, sadness, low energy, and avoidance!
"Here...Gracie insisted on cooking for us." Minako helped Ami to the breakfast table, where omelets, soups, pancakes, packets of rice, and pickled vegetables/fruits were placed.
"Thank you, Minako, Gracie. This all looks delicious!" Ami meekly helped herself, and while not as rich as the chef's cuisine, it was easier on Ami's stomach.
Minako, Gracie, Crystal (human), Michiru, and Alexis (human) helped Ami with whatever she needed to be done, while the others aided Dawn's therapy.
"You can't let this experience extinguish that fiery spirit you have, Dawn." Rei did her best to lift the blonde girl's spirits.
"You are stronger than what happened," Makoto added, with Ariel nodding.
"So, get back out there and show us what Sailor Sun is capable of!" Haruka encouraged with Holly cheering.
"Death will not take you. You are not meant to die young." Setsuna assured Dawn, with Hotaru, Trisha, and Emily agreeing.
"Don't be a wuss. We're all there with you." Christen insulted, but that was her way of toughening someone up.
"I know. In time, I'll be able to get back to the way things were." Dawn admitted.
While it did not take long for Keith and Charlotte to strike repeatedly, the Senshi were more than a match for them each time. "Isn't there an easier way to end this? I'm getting tired of fighting them." Ivy asked after the 10th time fighting them. She even had to summon her ability to drain energy, which she also detested using.
The braided, pigtailed brunette massaged her sore hands as her Starlight Attack had three different forms, and using them all in quick succession probably was not the best idea for her fingers.
"I have a suggestion..." Ami smirked slyly.
After Neo-Queen Serenity accepted Ami's brilliant plan, the females waited patiently for Keith and Charlotte to appear. As Keith aimed his rifle to shoot them all dead, another man jumped on him and cuffed him! More men and women in uniform charged out of the forest toward Charolette to detain her: Crystal Tokyo Police were in ambush mode! Sadly, due to her magic, Charlotte escaped, but Keith was no longer a threat.
"You would have made my life hunting worth it." Keith seethed at the Neo and Dark Kingdom Sailor Senshi.
"Shut up." Christen snapped back in reply and wanted to burn the man's face, but the police already had him.
Neo-Queen Serenity stalked up to Keith, "In the name of the moon, I arrest you. You may have gotten a lighter sentence on Earth if you were just hunting on private grounds, but you also intended to kill innocent young women. For that, you'll spend eternity in prison."
Once Neo-Queen Serenity finished scolding the man, she let the police take him away. After a few months, Dawn and Ami overcame the fear, blame, loss of appetite, and anger and sadness as long as they found ways to calm themselves. Sometimes they made rash decisions out of fear or anger, but those scenarios never lasted long.
Despite the girl's experiences, they did not take long to get back out there and fight as long as it did not interfere with therapy for Dawn and Ami or cause one of them to break down. However, all the girls gazed out her bedroom windows every night, wondering if they would ever face Charlotte again.
The End
