Chapter 30-New Beginning

"Everyone, I am lonely. I can't do this without you guys." Usagi's voice woke me. I felt a warm light washed over me and I was alive.

All of us stood around Usagi. I turned and saw Haruka and Hotaru. We were all back. The war had ended. The sun was shining brightly through a clear blue sky. However, the city laid in ruin, remnants of fire and smoke still visible on the horizon. Corpses laid around the streets. Survivors wandering around, injured and broken.

"I healed Sailor Galaxia but I used up all my energy. Please help me, everyone. Lend me your powers and let us heal the rest of the world." Sailor Moon spread her majestic wings and soared into the sky. We sent our powers into the silver crystal. The warm light spread and illuminated the entire world. Everyone on Earth got a new beginning…

The world changed after the Galaxia battle. This time, people remembered the invasion. This time, they remembered the Sailor Scouts saving the world. Sailor Moon became their instant Messiah.

Sailor Chibi Chibi Moon turned out to be the Light of Hope. She was the star seed of Sailor Galaxia. When Galaxia sealed Chaos inside of her centuries ago, her mind and body were slowly being corrupted by the evil. In her last desperate move, she extracted her own star seed and sent it out to the galaxy. The star seed found Sailor Moon, the most powerful soldier on Earth. She made herself out of the image of the princess and became Chibi Chibi.

By combining Chibi Chibi's power and Sailor Moon's silver crystal, Sailor moon was able to heal Galaxia and burnt the chaos out of her body. Chaos was sent back into everyone's minds, as it was supposed to be. Sailor Moon also sent in the Light of Hope to all the people. Humanity was never the same again.

Occasionally, we still had to fight some random monsters. Dark forces would always exist. We would strike back every single time. As for the scout family, life continued on.

Ami and Mako finally made their relationship public. "Obviously!"Haruka rolled her eyes so hard when they called a sailor meeting for the announcement. "Do we have to go? Maybe we can skip it and go have some fun on our own?" Haruka winked and used her puppy eyes. "I have never been to a coming-out sailor meeting before. I want to go." I used my puppy eyes on her and she caved.

We were the last ones to arrive at Ami's apartment. Hotaru happily plumped down on the seat beside Chibiusa's. Ami sat awkwardly in the middle of a couch, sandwiched between a very happy Minako and a nervous Mako.

"So, we have some big news to share with you guys." Mina's loud cheery voice rang through the room. "Rei? Honey? Do you want to do the honor?"

Rei sighed and muttered, "why do you always make everything so dramatic?"

Mina's unbearable loud laughter caused all of us to lose our hearings for about a second. "Okay, Okay. So everyone, Rei and I are together. Together like Haruka and Michiru together together."

"What do you mean?" Usagi asked.

"Rei is papa, Mina is mama." Hotaru explained. We all snickered as we watched Usagi getting more confused.

Mina continued on with her dramatic expose. "And….drum rolls please….." She started drumming on the table with her fingers. "We found Mako and Ami kissing the other day!" Mina gave Ami a shove as she announced it, causing Ami to squish against Mako.

"I still don't get….oh wait! You guys kissed?" Finally, the lightbulb went off in Usagi's head as she connected the dots. "Rei and Mina? Ami and Mako? So Rei is papa, Mina is mama. Ami is papa and Mako is mama. I seeeeee…" Usagi nodded and slowly chewed the cake that was in her mouth.

The four scouts looked at Usagi and waited anxiously to see her reaction. Usagi looked back at them with her warm eyes and she smiled. She got up and hugged them. "I am so glad. Now we can stay together forever."

"Now, my turn," Usagi said as she disengaged from the group hug. "The government has asked me to officially move in into the crystal palace they built for us next month. The place is gorgeous and I am the boss of it. So, I told them Mamoru and I will get married there. By the way, doesn't the crystal palace look like my silver crystal? It's pretty cool right?"

"Idiot. That's why they called it Crystal palace." Chibiusa sighed. Haruka and I excused ourselves before they erupt into their usual five-minute yelling match.

On the balcony, we could see the construction site of the Crystal Palace. It would be finished by the time of the wedding. With the reflection of the moon visible on the glass building and the building was illuminated by moonlight, the palace shone brightly in the middle of the city. Haruka put her arms around me and pulled me closer. "Pick a place." She said.

"What?"

"Pick a place. Just pick one, off the top of your head." Haruka had a mischievous smile on her face.

"On top of a mountain, where I can touch the sky and see the ocean." I closed my eyes and imagined how pretty it would be.

"Okay…" Haruka said.

She didn't explain why she asked that weird question that night.

A month later, Haruka surprised me with two tickets to Hawaii. On top of the tickets was a diamond ring. The sky soldier appeared in her sailor uniform. "Haruka, what?" I was confused about her transformation.

"Will you marry me, Kaoih Michiru? I, Tenou Haruka, will love you and cherish you for as long as I live. I, Sailor Uranus will protect you until the end of time."

I knelt down in front of Uranus. "Yes, Tenou Haruka, my sky soldier."

Slowly, the world entered into a new era of peace. Ruled by Queen Serenity, Sailor Moon, world peace among humans became possible. When she healed the world with her crystal, her purity and love became part of everyone.

When the crystal healed the human race, we all changed. At first, no one noticed. Life carried on as it was. Then people started noticing that they were aging slower. People could still die from accidents and illnesses, but they could live a lot longer now. As for us soldiers, we have essentially achieved immortality.

Crystal Palace became our new headquarters. We, as Sailor senshi continued to defend Earth against any foreign intruders, from both present and future times. So far, we were able to conquer all of our enemies. Earth continued to be the most peaceful planet in the galaxy. Guarded and protect by us, the world flourished.

It had been a long journey since my awakening as a sailor soldier. I lost my old family but along the way, I found my new family. Life was difficult and sad at times but I was glad to have met all of the sailor soldiers.

My name is Kaioh Michiru. I am a musician. I am a painter. I am a friend. I am a lover. I am a wife. I am a mother. I am Sailor Neptune.

I would like to dedicate this story to my real life Haruka (she is also an author here on Fanfiction—The Drifter). Thank you for being my beta reader.

I am in the process of writing a new story, which is a continuation of this one. It will be set two years after the Galaxia Battle. So, stay tuned.

Thank you to all my readers out there. This had been a fun journey.
