AN: Thanks for the reviews! Enjoy :)

Usagi was crying as she repeated "Chibi-Usa" over and over again. Everyone had tried to talk to her about it but to no avail.

Finally, it was Rei's words that affected her the most, "If that is Chibi-Usa's last wish, you should honor it Usagi." Usagi slowly raised her head and stared wide-eyed at her, "She wants you to be happy Usagi." Like she did so often, Rei placed her hand on the weeping girl's head in a caring manner and smiled at her friend.

Moments later Seiya carried the sleeping Miya into the room. He gently passed her to Ami who cradled her and looked lovingly at her sleeping daughter. Taiki leaned over to brush a few strands of her brown hair from her face. As Miya shifted to cuddle closer to her mother's warm body, her shirt lifted slightly and it was then that Taiki saw the pale thick line that ran down her side. He lifted her shirt a little higher then proceeded to lift the bottom of her long pants to see her ankle. He cringed at how wide the scar was. Ami had noticed what he was doing, "It must have been deep if it's still so clear on her skin." Her arms tightened protectively around the sleeping girl.

Although she didn't want to interrupt their family moment, time was running out so she had to continue. Setsuna cleared her throat loudly. Everyone took it as cue to focus again as she forced herself to continue the story, including Usagi even though she continued to sniffle quietly.

Thought to be a wraith, Miya was assigned to guard Small Lady and late at night, they would communicate with Pluto to devise a plan. It was then that Miya was picked to complete their mission. The girls tried to be as quiet as possible whenever they spoke. "Miya take my Luna Ball with you. It'll help you." There was no hesitation when Chibi-Usa spoke.

"But you need it to protect yourself!" Miya protested.

Chibi-Usa shook her head, "You'll need it more than me and it'll help you." The pink-haired girl smiled, "and it will be something to remind everyone about me." She knew of her fate if they were to continue with their plan but at the age of 5, Chibi-Usa had gracefully accepted it in hopes of a better future for everyone. "Don't make me order you as a princess Miya." Even with Chibi-Usa's teasing, her words brought tears to Miya's eyes.

Everyone had turned to look at the Luna Ball that lay idly on the floor. Even if it hadn't been there, they would never forget the lovable pink-haired Chibi-Usa. The Sol Senshis were so proud at how mature Chibi-Usa had become to accept her fate, as difficult as it may be.

So for weeks, Miya had modified the Luna Ball for it to accept commands inconspicuously and hold transformations for longer periods of time. Miya had also taken the time to construct a new minicomputer fashioned after her mother's one. Being the daughter of two geniuses, she was able to accomplish both tasks easily. It was then that she left the computer scanning when she was amongst the wraiths – she knew it was important to collect as much data as possible to find ways to defeat them more efficiently. Since Miya was in close proximity to them, it was the perfect opportunity for her to do so.

"And now," Setsuna continued, "I have sealed the Time Gates to escape here when they attacked me there. It seems that the seal is slowly breaking down though. It will only be a matter of time before they all come here."

When Setsuna had finally finished the story, Yaten had to ask the question that was bothering him, "Why didn't you just eliminate the source of the problem now when you have the chance here?" Everyone had gasped at his unsympathetic comment. Even Mina was somewhat frightened by the comment and the cold look that appeared on her boyfriend's face. He noticed that he scared her when she looked at him while still in his arms. But he didn't care… Yaten was determined to keep Mina safe especially after hearing what happened to her and their unborn son.

"Right now, Mamoru-san is still the kind hearted Prince we all know… I cannot bear to kill him even though I know what he will become." Setsuna looked at the sleeping Miya as she continued, "She wanted to though. But for a child to take another person's life is just... I guess I just hoped I could save her innocence. But now that I know what she sacrificed to break them up..." Everyone hung their head and Yaten looked ashamed for asking such a question. "Nevertheless, the evil corrupting Mamoru's star seed would protect him if we ever tried to harm him. It would be extremely difficult so we decided that this way would be better." She turned to look at Usagi and smiled, "Besides I wouldn't think our Princess here would want us to kill him either." Usagi nodded in agreement.

"Setsuna is right," Mina looked up at her boyfriend and she wiped the rest of the tears from her face, "we are the senshi of love and justice. We can't just abandon one of our friends when they need us. Mamoru-san needs us more than ever now. We have to help him!" Her face was blazing with determination. It was contagious. Everyone wiped their tears and nodded – everyone was determined to help Mamoru… their friend.

Although the Starlights were more sceptical by nature than the Sol senshi, they all knew what Sailor Moon was capable of. And Usagi was determined now more than ever.

"Even if I won't be with him, I still love him like I love everyone here." She turned to look at each and every person in the room. Her eyes had momentarily lingered on Seiya but he didn't understand the expression that formed on her face. "I know that he can be saved. I can still feel the shine he always had so there's still hope. There's always hope. I will never give up." She smiled brightly at everyone. It was as if the light and warmth from her resolve enveloped them… everyone felt a new sense of hope and courage. No matter what happens, they know that there is still hope if they don't give up.

Suddenly, Miya's eyes shot open though her face was calm. "They're coming." No one had noticed the slight quiver in her voice. Everyone just stared at her questioningly but it was answered shortly.

BEEP! BEEP!

Miya got up from Ami's arms as the older girl took out her minicomputer. Horror grew on her face as she analyzed the information. "No… this can't be happening." Her voice was soft, but the terror in it was unmistakable. "Wraiths." She looked up at Miya hoping that the girl would say the readings were wrong.

But Miya looked gravely back at her and nodded, "Hundreds, probably thousands of them."
