Chapter two- Rise of Neo Queen Serenity

Minako slowly opened her eyes to a bright room. How did she get here? Oh she remembered now. The memory came back slowly but clearly. She remembered the last battle they had, narrowly beating this villain who still managed to plunge everyone to sleep but had they not expected this? Was this not how Crystal Tokyo was meant to happen? After the battle Mercury noted people started to drop to the ground one by one.

'It is time, we must get back to Haruka's and Michiru's apartment as planned, we don't have time we must teleport' without Mar, the rest of the senshi including Sailor Uranus, Neptune and Saturn formed a circle and teleported to the outer senshi's apartment. A room was prepared for them and as they de-transformed Minako remembered the look Usagi had in her eyes..fear. They knew this would be hard and Pluto never said how all this was meant to go. Would Usagi also fall asleep and wake up before them?

As Minako slowly got up she saw the others begin stir. Most of them had blankets covering them as they didn't know for how long they would slumber. Why was the room so bright? Minako could have sworn Makoto closed the curtains.

'I am glad you are finally awake' Minako turned round and saw a dark female figure by the door.

'Who's there?' Minako tried to search for her pen but stopped when she saw the most beautiful woman approach her. She had long silver hair held in those familiar two buns and those eyes…

'Usagi….is that you?' Usagi nodded and braced herself for Minako who then ran into her arms and hugged her tightly.

'It's you, it's really you, oh look at you, you have transformed….' Usagi nodded.

'It is time Venus; we must wake the earth now'.

All the Senshi woke up and were shocked at what they saw. Their princess had grown into a magnificent woman and they were proud to call her their Queen. The work began as Usagi teleported herself back into space. Looking at the earth she willed the Silver Crystal to carry out her will, to wake everyone up and heal them. The crystal shone brightly responding to the request and people started to open their eyes. It was all strange to them. A feeling of change had transformed their minds and as they all started to question what had happened then the image of Neo-Queen Serenity entered their minds. Yes, she was their Queen, their saviour. She woke them up and saved them. It took weeks for everyone to gradually wake up and have that image in their minds but what would be considered the hardest part was now accomplished. They could start re-building now and soon Crystal Tokyo would be formed. The real challenge in Usagi's eyes was about to begin.

Rei woke up to the sight of Mamoru changed into King Endymion. He was dressed in a stunning white suit and had his mask covering his identity. His black hair had remained and what Rei saw was a true king in her eyes holding their son. The baby gurgled and Endymion smiled down at the child.

'She came back then…' Endymion didn't raise his eyes to her and didn't feel the need to acknowledge the obvious. He had enough on his mind now as the future was staring at him waiting for him to make the next move.

Rei didn't know what to say. For the first time in her life she was scared. All the inner confidence she had was now shattered as she contemplated what awaited her when she left her shrine. She didn't think about her actions when Mamoru kept visiting her. There were times when she felt she should have tried to reason with Mamoru. They were only together for a couple of weeks then it just fizzled out. Mamoru stopped talking to her about his feelings and since nobody suspected anything she thought everything would go back to normal but then she started to feel sick, she stopped eating what she usually ate and before she knew it she was pregnant. She would never regret her son, she loved him dearly but she did wonder what sort of life she had given him.

Usagi went quiet when she was told by Makoto. It took all of Minako's strength to hold Makoto back from punching Mamoru and slapping Rei. Minako kept telling Makoto that Rei was with child and this was not the way to deal with it. Usagi never spoke to Rei after that day even though she tried to stay with Mamoru. She too fell pregnant not long afterwards and that was when the light left her eyes. She became pale and sad. Rei was so angry with herself for her own actions and now there was nothing she could do to reverse it all. She had helped to destroy the future they had fought so hard to protect. Did that make her their enemy?

Endymion left Rei to her thoughts as he placed his son back in his cradle. He was unsure of what was going to happen. He woke up before Rei and instantly transformed into Endymion as he felt Serenity's presence. Her warmth had reached him and wrapped its arms around him. He missed her dearly but he knew what he had done. For the first time in his life from when he was a child he felt uncertain. He couldn't understand why he had fought so hard against his future.

'I have to meet her, I can already sense the earth awakening, I can feel Elysion has been restored and the people have already started to work, how long must we have been out for?' the question struck Endymion as he stepped outside the temple and saw people walking about with buckets of paint, wood and trucks were being driven. Why hadn't Usagi come for them? Where was she?

Usagi watched people walk past her and wave at her in awe. They had taken to her so quickly that she was overcome with emotion at their love for her.

'Princess Serenity, the King is awake and he has made contact; he will arrive soon' Hotaru bowed before Usagi and then looked at her with sadness. Usagi went still but then nodded.

'This was always a meeting that was going to happen'. Usagi was now in what was the palace of Crystal Tokyo. It looked like a large crystal with its sharp edges and clear walls.

Haruka transformed into Sailor Uranus and waited outside the palace that was still being constructed. She saw Endymion and Rei and watched as people bowed to Endymion, she tighten her jaw in anger. Jupiter came outside and stood next to Uranus.

'I want a piece of him too before Usagi stops us' Makoto had her hard gaze directed at the two unsuspecting people approaching the palace.

Endymion saw them from afar and readied himself for the onslaught. He was King now and he was not going to be disrespected. Rei clung to her son and a worried expression placed itself on her face.

'Well, the whore returns with the pathetic King, had enough time to rest while all of us do all the work?' Uranus smirked at the uneasiness that crossed Endymion's face.

'Let us deal with this inside away from the people, they must see a united front' Uranus looked at Jupiter.

'Fine, we can kill him inside'.

Endymion and Rei walked ahead with Uranus and Jupiter behind. Rei kept turning back wishing they would stop glaring behind their backs. They walked into what was looking like the throne room; both were taken aback by how Usagi now looked. She was taller and curvy from giving birth not too long ago. Endymion never saw a more stunning woman in his life.

This was the woman he was meant to be with, this was the woman who had devoted herself to him all her life and now he truly felt shame as Rei stood next to him with his child. Rei was stunned at how wonderful her Queen looked but she noticed Usagi's eyes were still pale. She looked lost and confused seeing them and then Rei saw the hurt in her eyes. Usagi held herself tall. Endymion was about to walk up to her but she held her hand up to stop him.

'Usako…..' Usagi shivered at the use of her pet name that Endymion had given her. For a moment she faltered and sensing this Endymion ran up to Usagi and hugged her tightly.

'I'm sorry, sorry for everything' Usagi was desperate to melt into his arms. She could be held by him forever but she knew it was not meant to be. Usagi pulled herself away.

'Please, we need to talk' Endymion stepped away as he saw a resolute expression etch her face.

'You are both disgusting and you Rei are a poor excuse for a Senshi!' Jupiter yelled as a meeting was called. Pluto was the last to arrive and she held a severe look on her face as she saw Endymion.

'I can't believe you would jeopardise our future like this' Venus was shaking her head as she looked at Rei.

'Do you know what you have done, do you even care!' Uranus was really angry as the baby started to stir in Rei's arms. Usagi remained quiet as she watched them argue.

'How many times can I say it, I am sorry, I was foolish, we didn't mean this to happen it just did. We comforted each other at a very hard time in our lives. We don't love each other, please you must understand that!' Rei pleaded desperately.

'Didn't mean it to happen, you can't be serious' Mercury was struggling to keep calm but she had seen Usagi cry over this and it made her furious.

'You think that you were the only one going through pain. I loved Nephrite and I miss him every day but I would never do what you did, you forgot yourself and forgot your duty, you should have known better' Jupiter wanted to punch something, anything.

'What you did Mars was a violation of your position as a Senshi and I don't think I can ever fight beside you again' Uranus levelled her anger at Rei. All the Senshi nodded as they looked at Endymion and Rei.

'I also cannot serve under a King I do not trust or respect' Uranus had now made her feelings known.

'I hate what you both did to my Queen, our Odango and I cannot forgive it. I despise both of you. If Usagi decides to stay then I will respect her wishes but I would not agree with it. She deserves better for what she has done for us. You don't deserve her. You are not a man and not good enough for her!' Uranus was held back by Pluto.

Usagi watched them and couldn't help the feeling of appreciation for those who have stuck by her side. Would they stay with her once they found out her choice?

'Please, let us stop arguing. I have much to say' everyone went silent. A feeling of dread crept down Endymion's back as he saw his Queen look unhappy.

'I have signed a contract that ensures I am the earth's protector alongside Endymion'. Uranus sighed feeling frustrated.

'However, I am not staying on earth'. Endymion felt his heart drop to the ground.

'But Usako, we are King and Queen to the earth this is our future'. Usagi shook her head.

'You destroyed our future Endymion because you did not want it' Endymion was shocked by the simplicity of her words.

'That isn't true; yes I had doubts but…'

'I never had doubts about our future Endymion. My dream was always to be with you, I gave up everything in the past for you, my mother died for our love'. Endymion fell silent as he saw fresh tears starting to appear.

'I gave birth to our daughter and not once did you ask about her but I see you with your son'

'Usa there was so much going on and..'

'I was left on my own to deal with my pregnancy while you was with Rei-chan….I gave birth on the Moon to our daughter and all I could think about was you'.

'But Usa ….'

'NO MORE EXCUSES!' Usagi yelled which shocked everyone.

'I have made my choice. I will watch over the earth from afar. I will return to the Moon and raise our daughter there, where she will be the next Queen. My priority is her now and no one else'. Endymion was stunned into silence. She had dealt this blow with a coldness he would never associate with his Usako.

'Rei Hino, for your actions I am afraid the Senshi are no longer comfortable with the idea of working with you. I am sorry but I must take your transformation pen away' Usagi held out her hand and before Rei could react her pen instantly went to Usagi.

'But Princess…'

'I am your Queen now not your princess' Usagi had lost the lustre in her eyes as she looked severely on Rei.

'There will be peaceful relations between the Moon kingdom and the Earth; I ask if the Senshi are prepared to leave with me?' Usagi looked at her Senshi. They all bowed without hesitating.

'Then it has been decided, I and my Senshi along with any others will leave for the Moon'

Endymion tried to reason with Serenity but it was no use. She denied him access to her and refused to see any of his letters. Rei walked about the palace like a lost child as she saw her friends ignore her openly. She felt true pain and anxiety as she wondered what would happen to her now. She was no longer Sailor Mars and that took a massive part of her identity away. Before Usagi was due to leave some people had agreed to leave with her. Motoki thought it best to stay with his friend as he saw Endymion was slowly growing more and more depressed. He was going to rule earth mostly on his own with only the advice from the woman he loved deeply. He may not even see his daughter.

Before she left Usagi found Endymions private rooms. She then located a dark mahogany box and as she opened it she saw four stones, Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite and Kunzite.

'I am sorry I have never taken the time to speak with you all until now. Things have changed and not for the better. I fear we are all fractured and may never be able to unite fully again. I feel lost now and I don't think I will ever feel happiness again. I love your King so deeply; I fear I will never get over him. We have a daughter, Chibiusa and she has an older brother, not my son but Rei Hino, Sailor Mars, I am sorry Jadeite, please don't be too angry with her. They don't love each other and I believe them but we can't go back to what we hoped the future would be; we can only move forward. I hope you continue to guide your King as I believe he will need you now more than ever. This is goodbye, I am truly sorry for all of this' Usagi walked away forgetting to close the box. The stones started to shine brightly and shake then they broke.

It was a sad day for earth as they waved goodbye to their Queen. In their eyes she was and would always be their Queen and Usagi felt their love. The Senshi waved goodbye as well as those who had decided to go to the moon and become Lunarians. This was the start of a new future. Usagi could feel it. She summoned her staff and the silver crystal appeared at the tip of it.

'NEO-QUEEN SERENITY! NEO-QUEEN SERENITY!' they all chanted as Usagi along with her friends and the new Lunarians disappeared into little balls of light like fireflies heading towards the moon. Endymion felt his whole world shatter as he saw his one true love leave him. It was then that he truly realised what he had lost.

They never saw the coming darkness. It lurked inside him breeding anger and the more he tried to push it away the more it came to the forefront of his mind. It was like a spider on the heart weaving its web inside him crushing him and smothering his once pure soul. His eyes started to turn red as he walked back into the palace alone dismissing everyone from his presence. If he couldn't have her then no one could.

Hi Guys, I want to say thanks to all those who have helped me with advice, I have tried to work on the paragraphs puffgirl1952 so hopefully they are not as long, thanks for pointing that out to me, if they are still too long will try and shorten them. Thank you to all those who have reviewed, followed and favourite this story, it means so much.

I have decided that Usagi will have a new love but after some thought, the story is going to have a twist and you probably can guess the villain now mwahahahhaha
