Hello people. Did you enjoy your break? ::Laughs::

I would like to apologize for the delay with this chapter. Real life has intruded upon my writing time and I have signed up for summer courses and am taking on a job for the summer, so all my writings will be delayed until the fall, but I will try to update as much as I can and whenever I can.

With that aside, I have this old note I would like you all to read:



Well, I want to say hi and present to you all the next chapter. But first, I think it was Am. Serenity or Kuroi Koneko who brought this up, but I'm not sure since I'm not looking at the reviews right now so I don't know who said what, but that's besides the point. Someone said something about Darien's little brother name and I have to agree, a child walking about with that name is just asking for an ass-kickin' therefore I changed it. The correction was made in chapter five and for those who are reading this chapter first or moving on, I don't know, but here is the kid's new name. Emmanuel Sigurd Phillip aka Mani.

Also, because two or three reviewers asked for it, I'm letting you guys vote on a third child/ or maybe a twin for Mani. Hey, who wants to see a daughter that ain't Chibi-Usa or Chibi-chibi? Popular votes usually carry states, but it's up to the Electoral College to decide in the end. Put your votes in your reviews and I will give the idea of a daughter some serious consideration.

Alright, the Critter is at daycare and I'm finishing this chapter without her.

This is an A/U fic.

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



Sean (minus the Critter)







Chapter Six



The training session ended with Serenity hit the mat with a thud.

Artemis did not float down to gently, he fell down to his knees, gasping for breath as he leaned fully on his sword.

The Princess had worn him out.

Sere rolled onto her back, her practice sword had long since fallen from her tired hands, she laid there panting, her hands weakly draped over what she was sure were bruised and broken ribs. When she went home, she was going train harder, she had to become stronger---She was going to kill Endy.

"Princess," Artemis pulled himself up, but stumbled slightly. "Do you need help?"

Sere didn't answer immediately. She closed her eyes and drew in a couple deep breaths, her ribs were killing her and not to mention that damned cut on her side.

Artemis looked up to see the soldiers still hanging about. "You three," he waved over three boys who stood at the door near Caroline. "Help the Lunar Princess to her room and someone page the King. He'll want to kill us all if something were to happen to his fiancée."

At the words Princess and fiancée, Caroline paled even more. "She's a Princess?" she croaked.

Artemis finally noticed her and saw the growing horror on her face. "The Princess of the Silver Millennium to be accurate," Serenity said as she let the youths help her to her feet. She winced as she tried to put her full weight on her injured leg. "Artemis, thanks for the session. But next time, watch where you're going with that sword."

He laughed, "Next time pay attention and you want get cut." He nodded to the youths and they carried her out. He turned to Caroline and smiled viciously. She has had this coming for a long time.

Endy glanced across the table at the little boy who was plowing through his meal like wolverine. Had he not been sitting there watching him, Endy never would have believed a kid that small was able to consume so much food and not get sick..

"It's his Lunar DNA," Terran answered his unspoken question. "He's metabolizing the calories almost as fast as he's putting them in and it's going to take a lot to stabilize his most recent energy deficiency."

Endy watched as the kid polished off a bowl of spinach and move straight to a salad, but Terran grabbed the bowl and put a steak under his nose.

"Lunarians are basically vegetarians." Terran pointed out, knowing that Endy did not have a clue about the Lunar eating habits and was confused when he saw the way Serenity and her mother eat when they were at their house in Japan. He had been too embarrassed to ask.

"If the kid's a vegetarian, why are we giving him meat?" Endy asked curiously.

Terran gave him an odd look. "Higher calories and it takes longer to burn off."

"Makes sense." Endy conceded.

Terran nodded. "I thought so." He capped Endy on the back and grinned, "Great Daghda, I never though I would live to see the day you had a child." He shook his head in consternation, "I pity the that world he comes from."

Endy glared at him, then a cruel smirk appeared on his lips. "Guess what Terran, young Darien here says you're alive in the future, and he had a brother and another child is on it's way."

The look on Terran's face was priceless. Endy sat back and laced his fingers behind his head, "Yep, I will have three of them. And with my record in the future, this one's gonna be a boy, right Darien?"

"Right, father." The little boy said brightly, "We don't need any sissy girls."

Endy smirked, "Father. I like the sound of that. It sounds better than husband or your Majesty. Don't you think, Terran?"

Terran shook his head in sad disappointment and all that progress he had made with the Princess, Endy was going have the arrogant look on his face for good now. Silently, he prayed to the Great Goddess that in the child in the future was not another boy. One Endymion was bad enough, but one with three clones was a nightmare waiting to happen.

Caroline came running into the dinning room with a wild look in her eyes but became hysterical when she noticed the little boy who looked just like her son when he was small, sitting at the table devouring three times his body weight in food.

The little boy looked and smiled brightly, "Hello Grandmother."

The was the last straw for Caroline and her beleaguered nerves. The beautiful and arrogant mother of the King of Terra eyes' rolled back and she fell back onto the floor in a dead faint.

Endy watched her hit and raised a brow. "What is wrong with her?" he asked calmly.

"Is she dead, Father?" Darien asked curiously.

Endy made a face, " 'Fraid not, kid, my luck just ain't that good." He turned to Darien and nodded once, "You finished with that?"

Darien scrapped a bowl of chocolate pudding and dropped the spoon with a resounding clatter. "Yes." He hopped up, "Can we go see Mama now?"

The left side of Endy's mouth twitched slightly. "I think she's in the infirmary, but hey. Let's surprise her."

"Do you think she'll like me?"

Endy nodded. "Oh, she's just going to love you. But let me ask you something, Dare?" The boy looked up at expectantly, "Are you *always* so nice and affable at home?"

Darien had to stop and think about it for a moment, then he shook his head. "My other nickname is Holy Terror." He said quietly.

Endy beamed proudly, Terran just stared at the little boy in horror. Then he stalked off in the other direction muttering under his breath about unfair Gods, brats, and eternal life.

Endy bent down and swung the kid up and deposited him on his back. "Well, Darien my boy, on no account hide your true nature. Manners are for the weak—"

"That's why Father sleeps on the couch all the time." Darien giggled.

Endy frowned, "So Sere is still cruel and abusive to me in the future. Well at least she marries me."

It was raining fireballs. Nike stopped her training long enough to glance at the two men who were fighting the war zone. She was pleased with their progress, Apollo was now in complete accord with his powers, and he welded the Space Sword as if he were born to it.

Mike went on the offensive for the fourth time. Apollo was tearing through his defensive like they were nothing and leaving Mike with no other choice but to attack almost reckless.

Apollo came back and hit him with a world shaking that stunned Mike's left arm and Apollo follow with a round house to his middle and a power blast to his chest that sent Mike reeling, but he recovered came back with a powerful kick combination of his own, using a less than a third of his full power, hoping to catch the Senshi off guard.

Nike held up one hand and the fire ceased around her and she took to the air, just in time too, for Apollo and Mike struck simultaneously and the result was an explosions that felt like a nuclear bomb. Vibrations rippled through the air, distorting everything around them.

Her dark green eyes scanned the area, looking for and finding their energy signatures and she nodded her with pride, those two were still up and going at it. She guessed her method worked. The more power that was inflicted upon them, the stronger they became.

She felt a rise of power at her back and with a thought, she released the elements and resumed her training, her dark rose colored hair fanned out as she drove into the lighting storm of her own creation.



Persephone came up with a war cry, Jade dodged Bella's fire balls, but was slammed by Kore's Silent Wall. He really hated that the Senshi could now summon their attacks mentally.

Bella's flaming sword nipped his arm, drawing blood and the game switched. Now this was what Jade truly looked forward two. He and Bella teamed up on Kore in a free for all. The same thing would Bella and they would continue their treacherous game of round-robin until they all collapsed.

Kore and Bella took full advantage of the powers as Alphas, going at each other like they were truly opposing warriors and Jade just tried to keep up without getting killed. All three powers flared and the battle was on.



Troy bounced a wall of ice; Xanthe drove his inert body, swinging her triton down towards Athena Diana's head only to be blasted back ball of ice. Athena expanded her wings and used the right one to block Troy's attack, she countered with her own, an ice spike came out of the ground and just missed impaling him by scant inches, still she came back hard, throwing punches and kicks faster than he could block them.

Xanthe jumped into the fray almost before Athena Diana could beat Troy into submission, she swept Athena Diana's feet from beneath her, and feinted, stabbing her triton down, Athena rolled left and Troy caught her with an energy blast that sent her flying up. Xanthe threw her Deep Submerge at her back, thus disabling Athena's right wing and sent her crashing to the ground. Xanthe fell to her knees wearily, damn she was all but drained.

They had been going at it full power for three days, pushing them beyond their normal limits until they were down on their knees or in Troy's case, flat on his back, and completely exhausted.

"Athena," Troy panted weakly. "Beloved, are you still alive?"

"Yes," she whispered, pained laced that simple word. "Xan, you okay?"

Xanthe nodded, "I don't think I can move right now." With that said, she collapsed onto her side and closed her eyes.

The two Alpha Senshi decided to sleep Troy needed to recover anyway.

"We will resume our training once we wake up." Xanthe told them.

"Fine," Troy croaked.

"Whatever," Athena yawned.



Playtime was most defiantly over.

Eros was glowing a pale gold, her bright amber eyes were light with power as she threw Kris over she shoulders a third time, but the Captain of the Royal Terran Guards was not going to stay down very long. Before she could blink, Kris was up and coming at her fast, energy shooting from his body then solidified and raced to his hands and threw a barrage of energy attacks at her. Eros' form blurred, Kris tired to turn around, but Eros broadside him with a powerful kick that sent him flying through the air. Eros followed with her Love-Me-Chain snapping after him.

Kris pulled himself up and threw his boomerangs at her, Eros flew right through them and her chain connected with his body and everything just exploded.

She landed and wiped a hand over her brow. Kris had gotten better, but he could still stand for some improve—

Her thoughts were cut off by a surprise counter offensive by Kris. She picked herself and grinned viciously. He was going to pay for that little trick.



"Enter, Pluto." Queen Serenity looked up from a book she was reading as the doors of her silver and white room opened.

Pluto bowed to her Queen, "Your Majesty," she said quietly. "The enemy is trying to entered this time. I have put a seal up to block their advance, however, I fear that it will not strong enough to hold them off."

"You are not fighting some piddly World Destroyer," Serenity told her, "You are facing the Cursed One and she has the knowledge to manipulate Time and Space thanks to Ananke."

"What should I do?" She asked worriedly.

The Queen looked out at the formal gardens beneath her window, her pale eyes clouded with though. "I have every faith in the abilities of the Senshi," she said evenly. "If the World Destroyer and the Accursed One have combined then it more than Alphas and Cosmos to defeat them."

"What of Elysium?"

"What of it?" She countered. "Elysium is the gateway to Nirvana, nothing more. Endymion is its guardian as the Senshi are the guardians of Systems throughout Space."

"Then why are we fighting?" Pluto asked gravely.

Serenity turned away from the window and looked back at her book. "We are fighting for the Gods."

Princess Serenity flexed her right wrist and winched. It was just as she though her wrist was sprained. Artemis had done a number on her sword arm and she did not know what possessed her to continue fighting when it had gone numb from the pain.

"Your Highness," a dark haired nurse appeared at the door, her eyes were a bit wild about the edges. Sere raised a brow in question as the woman stuttered. "The King wishes to see you."

Sere nodded, "Let him in and tell some one to bring me my dinner, I'm starving."

"Do you want something that has been cooked or just fresh off the hoof, love?" Endy drawled as he sauntered through the door.

She started to retort but she noticed the smug look on his face and that irritating cocky grin. Add that with an endearment and she glared at him.

"What did you do now, Endymion?" She asked suspiciously.

Endy couldn't wipe the smug look of his face if he tried. "Dearest Serenity, I have someone I want you to meet?" He said brightly.

She looked at him curiously. "Who?"

Endy stepped aside to reveal a small, raven haired little boy with deep sapphire blue eyes and Endy's quirky smile. And her heart broke into a thousand pieces. She looked up at Endymion, her eyes swimming in sudden tears as she tried to form the words that would mean the end of their relationship.

The proud look left his face when Endy saw the tears in his beloved's eyes and he rushed to her only to have her move away from his embrace.

"Bunny," he said helplessly.

"No, Endymion, I can't—"

The sound of his name on her lips nearly killed him. "Serenity, baby, please, it's not what you think—"

"It's not what I think?" She screamed at him. She gestured at Darien, "It's not what I think? How stupid do you think I am? That little boy looks just like you. What the else am I so suppose to think; That he is your little brother? I think not. I can *feel* Terra all around him and—" She stopped and frowned slightly. "Lunarian?" She asked in disbelief. She looked at Darien more closely. Her silver eyes went wide in surprise. "Selene." She breathed.

Endy nodded hesitantly. "Yeah, that's what I though when Patricia brought him here."

Serenity did not take her eyes from the boy, who looked as if he was going to cry at any moment. "Pluto brought you here?" she asked him. She reached up and dried her own tears. Darien nodded. She smiled at him. "What is your name?"

"Endymion," he stuttered. "Endymion Shields II."

She looked at Endy speculatively. "Two Endymions?"

Endy had the grace to look embarrassed, "He's called Darien." He said sheepishly.

"Like that is any consolation," she retorted. The she laughed, pushing her long hair over her shoulders. "Selene, I don't know how you are here, Darien. But am I correct in assuming that I am your mother and this bast—ahh, and Endymion," she hissed through clenched teeth, "is your father?"

Darien nodded. He was trying hard not to laugh at the strange, younger versions of his parents.

Sere pouted as Endy dropped down beside her and put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close. She stopped pouting and snuggled closer to him and smiled softly. Endy kissed the top of her white head and frowned.

"Woman, you stink. When was the last time you had a bath?" He cried in mock disgust.

Sere cried out and pushed him away, but Endy pulled her close and kissed her screwed up face gently.

"When the others return tomorrow, your mother and Patricia will accompany and we are going to have a long talk with the Guardian of Time concerning her predecessors activities before her supposed passing."

"We still have no proof that Ananke is dead," she said thoughtfully.

Endy sighed wearily, "Nothing." He looked down at her, "Bunny, if things become worst and with Darien here, I want you go to Elysium." Before she could protest, he went on, "You are the Senshi of this system and Elysium is its heart. You will be there to defend it and I charge with protecting its heir."

"I cannot run from any battle?" she told him.

"And I am not asking you to," he retorted. It wasn't a complete lie; "I just want to make sure no one can gain access to Elysium."

It was a valid argument, but she was sure that he some trick up his sleeve, it was a pity she couldn't discover it, but given time, she catch the rat bastard in his own little trap.

Space, it was so vast and so constant with the eternal struggles of life verse death, good verse evil, light verses darkness, or order verses havoc.

Her ringing laughter echoed throughout the corridors of the dark crystal palace. The light caught the reflection of her hair and the colours swirled in each lock, in varying shades of pristine white to the darkest reds.

"Envy," she called out, her voice went from a faint twinkling to a husky whisper as if it were unable to find a natural pitch. "How have chosen progressed in this world?"

A figure draped in a dark cowl with a floating globe appeared before the woman on the dark throne.

"Through Ananke's spell, they survived and appeared in the new world, they believed that it would easy for them to conquer it as they in their own time, but they came across a very powerful and extremely dangerous Endymion of Terra and Sailor Cosmos. They are confused and want to come this past and try their luck here."

"And is their still obsessed with Selene's descendant?"

Envy cackled. "He believes he shall conquer Endymion and claim Terra and the Princess of the White Moon as his own."

"Silly mortal," she rose from her seat and went to a small crystal pool. "Send them. Nemesis was always expendable. And if were to believe in chance, it would be possible to conclude that one of the accursed Senshi will die."

"What of Cosmos?"

She turned to him and smiled, "If Cosmos were to die, then it's all for the better?"





Alright people, you know what to do. Put your votes in your reviews. Until then, catch you all later.
