Betrayal of the heart
Chapter thirty-three: Final Transformation
Neherenia laughed as the senshi fell to their knees.
"Mom!" Kenji cried, shaking his mother, but she did not wake. Serenity managed to break free from her bindings and she snatched the golden crystal. She ran to her mother's side and held the crystal in her hand.
"Please, golden crystal. Help my mother regain her life. We need her here" She cried, but nothing happened. Neherenia smirked.
"The golden crystal is a crystal of dreams, it will never work. dreams are folly and the children have lost Pegasus, losing their beautiful dreams" She said, mocking the young girl, but Serenity would not give up. She closed her eyes tightly. "I believe in the crystals power" She said. "My beautiful dreams have not vanished" She clutched the crystal in her grasp. "Everybody, can you hear me? Everybody on Earth with beautiful dreams! Please, lend me your power! Right now, bad guys are invading this world! To ruin our world! My mother has the power to stop them, but the enemy has defeated her. With your help, she will be resurrected and we can defeat this evil together. Please! Please, pray with me! Please, fight with me! Please, shout with me! Moon Crisis Power!" Serenity repeated the phrase over and over, and suddenly, all over Tokyo, people were repeating the words. To Neherenia's horror, the Golden Crystal began to glow, it floated out of Serenity's hand and high into the air. Helios appeared, unconscious, the crystal hovered over him for a moment, then reconnected with his horn. A bright light shone about and a beam from his horn hit Princess Cosmos. The silver haired woman floated into the air and her own silver crystal came out and combined with the golden crystal. Princess Cosmos was showered in the light of both crystals and her out fit changed. Her long hair remained silver, but went back to regular odangos, with golden crescent moons. Her skirt had three layers, the bottom layer was black, the middle layer was dark silver and the top lay was light silver. On her chest was a winged bow with a silver heart and golden crescent moon and another crescent moon at the center of her waist. she wore black high heels, with black anklets. She had a silver bracelet on each wrist. the crescent moon was still on her forehead and her winged staff had shrunk to become a small rod and the rod was black. the wings were still white, though. she wore dangling earrings of a moon and star and her choker was silver with a crescent moon. Her nails were polished black with a silver star on each nail. Silver wings appeared on her back. When the light was gone, her crystal reentered her body and she landed gently on the ground and opened her eyes.
"Impossible" Neherenia gasped.
"I am Eternal Cosmos. I was never supposed to reawaken, Princess Cosmos was supposed to be the ultimate form, but because of you, drastic measures had to taken. I will return you from whence you came. Eternal Cosmos storm" Neherenia screamed as she was lifted into the air and trapped inside a mirror. With a flick of her rod, the mirror spun out into the cosmos. Eternal Cosmos extended a hand to Helios as the boy opened his eyes and smiled at her.
"Thank you, your highness" He said, bowing low.
"I thank you, for reawakening Eternal Cosmos" Cosmos said. She turned to Fish Eye, Tigers Eye and Hawks Eye, who had been hiding in a corner during the battle. "I trust you know your true identies" She asked, waving her hand and a mirror appeared. Upon looking into the mirror, they saw the horror and truth of their existence.
"We're animals?" Hawks Eye asked, backing away.
"Yes, to serve Neherenia's purpose" Eternal Cosmos said. "I can return you to your original form, or I can give you permanent human bodies. You will be able to live normally, and have dreams like everyone else" The Amazon trio accepted her offer to give them full human rights and she did so. The trio was free to start a new and they left the tent, happier than they ever had been.
It was two days after the final battle with Neherenia, and the senshi, their husbands, children and Helios met high a top a hill.
"So, I guess this is goodbye" Serenity said, tears in her eyes.
"Hush little one, for as long as you have beautiful dreams, I will never be far away" Helios said, kissing her on the cheek. Serenity stared after him as he took to the sky. "I will always remember you" He said before disappearing completely. Serenity sighed and continued looking towards the place where he had gone.
"I'll miss you" She whispered.
"Come on Sere, it's time to go home" Kenji said, putting an arm around his sister.
