Hi all. Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, but in all honesty, I was stuck. I had re-written this chapter at least five times and I didn't like how they were going so I scrapped each version until I found something that I liked and feel comfortable writing.

Okay, I've been up all night working on this and the Genealogy at the end. Chapter Four's to come out soon.

Thanks to everyone whose waited patiently for this chapter.

Sean.



This is an A/U fic.

I don't own Sailor Moon, I'm just a fan.





Chapter Three



Serenity stood before the prayer column at her mother's side. Both were looking at the crystal in something akin to awe and fear. For inside the crystal monument was hidden the fabled Sword of Selene.

Queen Serenity reached out and laid her hands upon it and felt for the first time in eons her mother's essences and she wept.

Serenity reached out and embraced her mother. It was as if she never knew and it was a good chance that she never did. Serenity looked at the crystal and from this distance, she felt the nurturing power that called to her when she was on Terra. It was the same power that fueled her magic as Sailor Moon and protected her as the planet's Eternal Senshi. The blessings of Selene forever existed through her crystal sword and that sword protected this star and the system.



Apollo walked through the old rooms of the Uranuian Royal Family on Silver Millennium. He had taken time to contract the Regent and he was acknowledged as his sister's heir and the rest would be discussed once he returned to Miranda.

Xanthe also made contact with her home world and to say that her return was welcomed would have been an understatement. Her aunt, Queen Styx, still lived throughout the times, Styx was a child of the Gods like Ares and Hermes and blessed with long life and other things. She welcomed her youngest sister's child with open arms and was planning to bring her to Triton Castle, was informed by the Persephone of the coming danger to the all the planets and the System itself.

Styx offered her aid to the Queen of Silver Millennium and the King of Terra, both which were accepted on their behalves by Saturn's Queen before they parted.

Eros, Athena Diana, Endy, Kris, and Troy decided to meet in Athena Diana's rooms to discus battle plans and strategies. For the Senshi, it was predictable, they were going to appeal to the Queen to allow them to train in a hyperspace to allow them to reach Alpha status.

And Endy used to believe that he relied upon brute force. Eros and Athena Diana made him seem like a freaking pacifists. And it did not help his disposition to know that in last two major conflicts that they had been in, the Senshi had been the dominate factors. Three Senshi had walked into the Dark Kingdom and almost single-handedly destroyed the place, they had been responsible for killing Beryl and he was sure if they had been Celestials, neither he nor Sere would have been needed to destroy Metallia.

"Actually, your Majesty, it was the combined strength of your Golden Crystal and the Princess' crystal that could have destroyed Metallia." Persephone quiet voice said from behind him.

Endy jumped and turned around his seat quickly and saw the Queen of Saturn standing directly behind him. She had an amused grin on her pale features that grew into a full fledge smile. Endy of course did not see anything that was funny, she nearly scared the wits from him. Damn it, his heart was yet to slow down.

Eros nose scrunched up as she tried not to laugh, but Athena Diana had no such qualms and collapsed onto her side, laughing at the pale faced King. Eros dumped a pillow over Athena's head and turned her attention to Persephone.

"What were you saying about the crystals and Metallia?" Eros asked curiously.

Persephone smacked Endy on shoulder, then moved to sit on the one of the many floor cushions that littered the floor. "I was trying to allay the doubts in Endymion's mind about his strengths and our roles in the cosmos." She made herself comfortable and for a moment, they though she was going to reaching into the Book of the Dead and reveal some other deep truth, but she surprised them all by reaching for one of the many sandwiches that sat on a tray between them all.

She glanced up and saw the expectant expressions and she laughed softly. "Oh, I'm sorry." She took a bite before continuing, "I just haven't had time to take a meal since this mess started with Atalanta." She wiped her mouth and continued. "It should be clear to you now, Endymion, as to what we are in relation to you."

"Well it's not," he said crossly. "And what does it have to do with my crystal?"

"Oh, God, this is really good," she exclaimed turning to Athena Diana, "What kind of sandwich is this?"

"Honey glazed turkey, with spicy mayo, tomato relish and bib leaf lettuce on honey wheat." She told her.

Persephone was going to praise her some more, but Endy reached out and snatched the sandwich from her hands.

"Hey," she cried indignantly.

Endy took a big bite and with his foot, he moved the tray out of her reach. "As you were saying, Kore?"

If looks could kill, Endy would have been six feet under. She folded her arms under her breast. "You are the son of Helios—"

"I know that," he said coolly.

She gave him a look, "If you would just shut up and will tell you what you can't seem to grasp." She blew out a breath, "Helios was the son of High Lord Morpheus and his Guardian over the Realms of Dream and Protector of Elysium, both he guarded with his two most trusted Senshi at his side in this System and they protected it until the Darkness entered. After the first battle, Helios gave Selene permission to train the Gods and their children in the ways of the Senshi and they had in turn sworn complete fidelity to Selene. The Oath of Selene is what every Senshi in this system swears to Venus—"

It suddenly dawned on him., but he wanted to hear it before he could completely accept it.

"Like our oath, the first one was swore loyalty to the Leader of the Senshi," she was saying. "We pledge our allegiance to the Guardian of this System. We swear to Helios."

Endymion was speechless. He looked at the three women before him and then looked down, his eyes were wide with shock.

Persephone looked at him, sympathy shining in her eyes. "We are your Senshi, the Children of the Gods and Serenity is your champion."

He shook his head in denial. Serenity, she was…

"It kind of makes sense," Kris said looking at his brother. "I mean—"

Persephone lunged for the tray and grabbed two sandwiches. "Before the attack on Silver Millennium, the Queen was going to transfer the power of the System back to Lord Helios, but we all know what happened to that idea." She started to devour her food with relish.

Kris touched Endy's shoulder bring him out of his thoughts. "Endy?" He said quietly.

"She tried to steal not only my life and my throne, she was trying to kill Serenity." Endy whispered.

Kris raised a brow, he looked at Endy questioningly. "What?"

"Ananke," he looked up sharply, his eyes a bit wild. "Kore," he snapped, almost sending her into a choking fit. Eros and Athena pounded on her back until she stopped. "Tell me, what would have happen had Sere fought Chaos with as ruler of both Silver Millennium and Terra?"

She vowed she was beat him with the flat side of her glaive once this was finished. "Terra would have been dead," she told him, "Elysium bright light would have dimmed but would still have been felt, but Serenity never would have been able to use it's power, only a descendant of Helios or Morpheus could have—"

Endy rose to his feet swearing.

"What?" Eros demanded, looking at both of them wildly. "What the hell is going on?"

"What the hell in deed," Troy laughed, "I swear if it weren't for the fact that she wanted to kill us all and destroy this Universe, I would say that our dear Ananke was a true military genius."

"How do you figure?" Eros asked, she still did not know what was going on.

Troy smiled wickedly at the Venusian Senshi, "Ananke insured that the Cursed One would have control over Elysium by simple genetics." He shrugged. "It's brilliant really and it's frighten at how close she came to succeeding. Just one shift in Princess Serenity's power and the Cursed One would have existed."

"But the Princess is still stronger than Endymion," Eros blurted out.

In response to this, the men laughed.

"What?" she demanded irritably.

Persephone laid an understanding hand on her shoulder. "Endymion has been keeping secrets from us." She told her.

At first Eros did not understand, but it hit her and she glared at him. "You're stronger than a Celestial Senshi?" She yelled at him.

Endy looked at her and dropped his illusion. Endy's hair was deep rich purple and his eyes were no longer dark navy, but violet with flicks of gold in his irises. He leaned back with a teasing smile play on his lips.

"Actually, you could say that I have surpassed the Senshi." He told her, "I could almost be called a Guardian."

"Holy shit." Eros swore.

"My sentiments," Athena Diana breathed. "Damn what can happen next?"

He laughed. "Don't you know it's bad luck to ask that?"

Kris shook his head, "I think you should tell these ladies how this came about?"

Endy looked as if he was going to protest, but he changed his mind and stood up. "We will do that later when everyone is together." He recreated his illusion, "But for now, I'm going to spend some time with Sere."

Persephone looked at the lovers and she rose to her feet silently. "I have something to discuss with the Queen," she told them. And she hurriedly left them. As she closed the door, she heard familiar giggles and laughter and her heart went out to them. She wondered if she would find her soul mate in this lifetime.
