Nitara and Neeblix stood right outside the Hikawa Shrine
with Sarah. They confronted her.

"You are the host that has Princess Clearina, Crystallina's
sister. Why weren't you there when the Pink Crystal was
reformed?"

Nitara asked.

"I was there, but in secret."

Sarah replied in a cold tone. Being cornered wasn't her
favorite thing. Then she continued.

"I was there, but in the midst of the on lookers. I
was there, but in secret. I was there with Travis
and Jonathan. I asked them to come secretly, because
I didn't want to be revealed when the Momoirozuishou
was reformed."

Sarah explained.

"Did you refuse the offer for the Momoirozuishou?"

Neeblix asked.

"No, I accepted and received the energy and
I accepted Princess Clearina, but now is not
the time. Princess Clearina fears for her own
existence and she must remain hidden from
the Ice Titan. There will be a time, when a
crisis and Crystallina is in danger that
Clearina will return, to help if needed."

Sarah explained again, but Nitara and Neeblix
wasn't buying it.

"Sarah, you must become Clearina again."

Nitara demanded.

"NO! Clearina and myself already accepted each
other, but chosen to merge at another time."

Sarah replied in a defiant tone.

"You and Clearina think the same way. Clearina
was always defiant, back down! Surrender to the
will of the Pink Crystal!"

Nitara spoke even more in a defiant tone. Then
Sarah's eyes glowed pink and Princess Clearina
spoke through Sarah.

"CRYSTAL SAILOR DESTINY AND THE GREAT WIZARD
NEEBLIX, LISTEN NOW TO THE WORDS OF THE
PRINCESS OF THE CRYSTAL MOON, PRINCESS CLEARINA,
MY WILL IS SUPERIOR TO YOURS BECAUSE I AM NOT
BOUND BY THE MOMOIROZUISHOU! I DO NOT HAVE THE
MOMOIROZUISHOU TO KEEP ME ALIVE AND STABLE!
I CAN USE THE MOMOIROZUISHOU AS WELL, AS LONG
ICE TITAN IS A THREAT TO CRYSTALLINA I CANNOT
BE REVEALED OR UNITED WITH SARAH AT THIS
TIME. THE SECRET THAT I AM INSIDE SARAH MUST
REMAIN A SECRET! IF SHE IS HARMED FOR MY SAKE,
YOU WILL ANSWER TO ME! KEEPING USAGI-SAMA
SAFE IS THE OBJECTIVE NOW! IF USAGI-SAMA IS
KILLED, THE CRYSTAL WAR WILL NEVER END! KEEPING
USAGI-SAMA SAFE UNTIL SHE CAN HANDLE THE FULL
POWER OF THE LEGENDARY SOLDIER CRYSTAL MOON
POWER! ONLY SHE CAN BRING SALVATION AND END
THIS CRYSTAL WAR! SHE IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING!
GUARD HER WITH YOUR LIVES AND KEEP HER SAFE!
IF YOU FAIL TO DO AS I COMMAND I WILL STRIP
YOU OF YOUR ABILITIES, PRAY THAT I DON'T DO
THAT! I AM ABOVE YOU AND I HOPE YOU WILL
HEED MY WARNING! THE LIFE FORCE ENERGY THAT
USAGI CARRIES IN HER VEINS MUST NOT BE
DRAINED BY THE ENEMY! KEEPING HER SAFE IS
YOUR MISSION AND THE HOPE FOR THE FUTURE!
BACK DOWN ON YOUR POSITION, AND SUBMIT
TO MY WILL OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES!"

Princess Clearina spoke with the deepest
anger. Neeblix and Nitara knelt before
Sarah. Rei happened to see it a far off.
Then Princess Clearina spoke again. But
in a normal tone.

"Good, Queen CrystalStar is dead, Usagi-
Sama is still asleep. That makes me
your superior and you must obey my
orders. The fate of the Legendary Soldier
lies in the balance now, if she dies
the world is doomed. Carry out your
mission farewell!"

Princess Clearina ordered them and
Sarah's eyes returned to normal
and Sarah collapsed. Nitara and
Neeblix ran to Sarah.

"SARAH!"

Neeblix and Sarah came and ran up to her.

"Sarah are you okay? We are sorry. We
didn't know you possessed such power.
Will you be okay?"

Nitara asked in a concerned tone. In
a weak voice Sarah spoke again.

"I will be alright. When I accepted
the light from the Pink Crystal, it allowed
me to choose when to merge with Clearina.
My life will be threatened if the Ice
Titan knew that I exist as Clearina. I
had those nightmares too of the Crystal
Moon Kingdom, but my Senshi powers
suppressed them to the point I can
remain stable. Unlike Usagi, she had that
ability, but didn't know about it. Please
when the time is right, I will seek you
to help me and Clearina can become one
again. Until then, keeping Usagi is the
most important objective you have,"

Sarah spoke in an weakened tone.

"Okay."

Nitara and Neeblix agreed.

"I can't fight much because that will make
me unstable like Usagi was, but once in
a while in a while I will aid you if needs
be."

Sarah announced.

"Are you stable to do your everyday duties?"

Neeblix asked.

"Yes, for now as long as the Legendary Soldier
is protected at all costs, she is still weak
and she needs to recover. I sense it even now...
a new threat looms over the horizon... a new
henchman... Takalon. His revival will come
soon when Usagi's energy is taken. Takalon
and Krun Bruikas was sealed by the power
of Crystallina and now Usagi has Crystallina's
energy inside her. Make sure Usagi doesn't
get her energy drained because, if her energy
gets drained to awaken Takalon, he'll come
after her to steal her energy. Takalon has
claws made of Kuraizuishou! Usagi is now
immune to the deadly rays of the Kuraizuishou,
but Takalon's claws can leave her gravely
injured! Protect her with your lives or we
are doomed! You should go to her and see to
her safety. The fate lies in the hands of
Tsukino Usagi! Keeping her safe, will pay
off in the long run."

Sarah revealed.

"Yes, we'll go. Thank you Sarah. Keep yourself
safe."

Nitara agreed. Nitara and Neeblix vanished. Rei
ran up to Sarah.

"Sarah, are you okay?"

Rei asked.

"Yes, I guess you overheard?"

Sarah asked.

"Yes, Sarah I did. Don't worry, your secret is
safe with me. Here let me help you up. You
can rest in the guestroom for awhile until
you recover."

Rei offered.

"Thanks I accept."

Sarah answered as Rei helped her up. Rei took her
inside to the guestroom.

EPISODE 035: THE CRYSTAL PRINCESS ESCAPES, PART IX

It has been about three days since the Pink Crystal
appeared and turned Usagi into Princess Crystallina
thus fulfilling the prophecy about the Chosen One
and The Legendary Soldier becoming one uniting
their minds and hearts as one. But Usagi's mind
was sealed by the Momoirozuishou due to Usagi's
unstable condition or that's what everyone was
led to believe. Ami taught Rei, Makoto, and Minako
how to use Ami's minicomputer to monitor Usagi's
stats. Makoto was now watching over Usagi. Makoto
was happy that Usagi could get some well deserved
sleep. The Pink Crystal shone on Usagi like it had
been there since Usagi was a child, but in reality,
it appeared three days ago. Usagi now being Crystallina
was a big adjustment for Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minako.
But seeing Usagi sleep peacefully eased their minds.
After Usagi fought the Ice Titan as Legendary Soldier
Crystal Sailor Moon, Minako brought over Luna, Artemis,
Diana, and Tsuki were brought over to the Tsukino
household, after Usagi fainted after the last battle,
Tsuki did the same. They were told Tsuki would awaken
first before Usagi would. This would be their sign.
Time passed and it was over two weeks after the Pink
Crystal appeared, that under Minako's watch Tsuki
began to awaken. Minako greeted her.

"Good morning Tsuki!"

Minako cheered.

"Oh, you are Venus-Sama, right?"

Tsuki asked.

"Yes. Call me Minako-Chan. That's what I am called
now."

Minako told her.

"Okay Minako-Chan. That works for me. How long has Usagi-Sama
and myself been asleep?"

Tsuki asked.

"Just over two weeks."

Minako answered.

"Then, Usagi-Sama's is near being full again?"

Tsuki asked.

"Yes."

Minako answered while she looked at Ami's laptop. The Tsukino's
were instructed to not call Usagi by that name, but rather
Princess or Crystallina. Calling her by Usagi would definitely
upset her. It wouldn't be too long that Usagi would awaken.
Minako used her communicator.

"Makoto?"

Minako asked in her communicator.

"Yes, Minako?"

Makoto asked.

"The Princess is about to awaken. Can you come
over and help me? Later we can contact the
others."

Minako asked.

"Sure. I'll be there soon."

Makoto answered and shut off her communicator. And not
long after that, Usagi started to wake up. In minutes
Usagi was fully awake.

"Good morning Crystallina, sleep good I hope?"

Minako greeted Usagi with a smile. Usagi stared
at Minako like she was some princess or a goddess.
Usagi noticed Minako's hair and seemed to be fascinated
over her hair for some reason. Usagi sat up and continued
to stare at Minako. Usagi remembered that Minako was one of
the four offensive soldiers to protect Crystallina. Usagi
got up from the bed and hugged Minako like she just met her.
Not long after, Makoto arrived.

"Good morning Minako-Chan, Princess."

Makoto greeted them. Usagi stared at Mako-Chan. To Usagi,
Mako-Chan looked like something wonderful from a dream,
but Usagi noticed the rose earrings and for a moment
distant memory came over Usagi, of the first time Usagi
met Makoto. Usagi remembered Makoto and came to her and
embraced her. Makoto was taken a bit by surprise.

"The princess's memory is returning. She remembered
something important."

Minako told her.

"Thanks Princess for remembering me. I'll help you
recover your memory Princess. Count on it in the
name of Jupiter!"

Makoto told Usagi. Usagi smiled again and hugged
her. The embrace was so intense from Usagi hugging
Mako-Chan that Makoto felt her eyes were about to
pop out of her head.

'Wow, Usagi-Chan is sure strong. The Pink Crystal
must have filled her with super strength.'

Makoto thought to herself.

"Princess, that's enough."

Makoto told her. Usagi stepped away for a bit.

"Princess, let's get you cleaned up. And get you
into some clean clothes."

Minako spoke to Usagi. Minako went to Usagi's
closet and picked out a cute blouse with bunnies
on it and a pink skirt with bunnies on it. Minako
went to a drawer and picked out some undergarments
and a pair of socks. They led Usagi to the bathroom
and they gave her a bath and washed her hair and
dried her off afterwards and dressed Usagi
again. Once the clothes that Minako picked out.
The Pink Crystal flashed and Usagi's civilian
clothes was transformed into Crystallina's pink
dress.

"Interesting."

Makoto thought noticing that the Crystallina's dress
appeared again like magic. They wondered what powers
Usagi now possessed.

"Princess, you look great!"

Minako commented. Usagi smiled and gave Minako
a hug.

"Princess, don't hug her too hard now. Be gentle."

Makoto urged her. Usagi hugged Minako gently.

"Princess, we want to take you to a few places
to re-jog your memory. Shall we be off?"

Minako asked.

"Let's go."

Makoto agreed.

"Come on Princess."

Minako told her as they led Usagi by the hand. They
led Usagi to where Ikuko and Shingo were at. They
were at the table.

"Oh, Crystallina awoke?"

Ikuko asked.

"Yes. She's fully charged and nearly completely
stable."

Makoto replied. Usagi stared at Shingo and Ikuko.
She began to remember some distant memories
that had been sealed away. The memories were
broken images. Usagi felt a very close bond.
Makoto and Minako watched Usagi. They noticed
that Usagi had remembered something important
about Ikuko and Shingo. These memories felt
more like feelings. That Ikuko and Shingo were
very close to her. A very strong bond. Usagi
spoke some words silently. Luckily Ikuko
could read lips.

"I love you too..."

Ikuko answered. Usagi's memory was being repaired
slowly. Makoto thought the more they showed Usagi
the things important to her, it might restore
all of her memory.

"Princess, we got to go. We'll be back later."

Minako told her.

"Miss Tsukino, please look after Tsuki. That's
Crystallina's cat. I am sure she's hungry. Let's
go Princess."

Makoto told Usagi. Then they left the Tsukino
household and went to Game Crown Arcade. Makoto
and Minako led Usagi into the Arcade. Motoki
was there. Makoto whispered to Motoki first about
what to call Usagi. Usagi stared at him. Like before
more images came into her mind of Motoki. Usagi stood
there and smiled. After a bit, Makoto and Minako
led them down the street. They went past a place
where they were constructing a building. A 2,000
pound steel beam started to fall. A construction
worker to watch out for the steel beam. The
beam fell and Usagi instinctively reached out
and caught the beam with the tip of one of her
fingers. Makoto and Minako were shocked of Usagi
of having great strength of balancing a 2,000
steel beam. People watched as Usagi held the
beam with one finger. Then after a moment,
Makoto spoke.

"Princess, carefully put the steel beam down."

Makoto told her. Usagi released her finger and
stepped away. The steel beam hit the ground with
a loud 'THUD' and Usagi's pink dressed blew
when the steel beam hit the ground.

"Come on Princess."

Minako told Usagi as they led her down the street.
They came across another construction site where
someone accidentally fired a nail gun. The nails
came fast at Makoto, Minako, and Usagi stepped
forward and the nails hit Usagi's dress and the
nails broke off and hit the pavement. Makoto
and Minako were surprised.

"She is also immune to projectiles as well?"

Makoto thought. They looked at the Pink Crystal
and wondered if the Pink Crystal has endowed
Usagi with super powers.

"If so, I wonder what other abilities she has."

Minako thought. Then they led her to a church
and they went inside. Usagi saw a funeral taking
place. She walked forward to a coffin holding
a body of a girl. She looked intently at the
lifeless girl. Then her Pink Crystal came in
to Usagi's hands. She meditated silently for
a moment until her hands glowed pink and then
she released her Pink Crystal and it floated
above her head and then placed her hands
near the slain girl and the girl's body
started to glow pink and the girl was revived
and she sat and woke up and stared at the
Usagi who healed her. Makoto and Minako were
shocked that the Pink Crystal had such abilities.
To the girl, Usagi looked like an Angel. The
family spoke their thanks. Makoto and Minako
led them out of the church. Minako and Makoto
took her several other places and then returned
to the Tsukino Household.

Rei and Ami had arrived sometime before Makoto
had arrived. They were going to help Ikuko
do some house work. Minako turned to Usagi.
and spoke to her.

"Princess, I want you to go to each of us starting
with Makoto. Makoto went into the kitchen. Maybe
one of us can restore your memory."

Minako told her. Usagi walked towards the Kitchen.
She was cutting vegetables. Seeing Makoto cutting
vegetables brought more memories to her mind of
all the things that Mako-Chan had cooked. Then
Makoto wasn't paying attention to what she was doing
and Makoto accidentally cut her finger. Usagi
instinctively touched Makoto's finger healing and
restoring it to normal.

"Thank you Princess, now go over to where Rei is.
She is by the book case."

Makoto pointed to a book case in the living room
where she was dusting. Usagi saw Rei. Usagi's memories
of this girl flooded her mind. Usagi thought of the
times Rei was so supportive like a sister. When she
needed encouragement and strength, Rei was there. Usagi
smiled and gave Rei a big hug. The hug was so intense that
Rei thought her eyes were going to pop out. After a moment,
Usagi let go and stared at Rei. She saw Rei's hair. Usagi
never saw such beautiful hear. Usagi reached out and touched
Rei's hair. Rei noticed that Usagi had some sort of interest
in her hair and didn't understand why. Then Rei spoke to
Usagi.

"Now, Princess, please go to Ami. She's over there by the
computer."

Rei pointed to where Ami was. Usagi walked to where Ami
was sitting. She saw Ami and memories flooded her in her
mind of the blue haired girl with same color almost
like her own. Feelings came up in Usagi like this girl
had always cared for her. Usagi slightly hugged Ami and
gave Ami a warm smile. Ami thought seeing Usagi smile
meant a lot to her. Ami spoke to Usagi.

"Princess, please go to Minako who is by the coffee table
dusting."

Ami told her. Ami pointed to the direction to where Minako
was. She walked over there, but instead at going over
to Minako, the Television caught her attention. On the
TV was news reports of violence, and such negativity.
The tears started flow from her eyes, This was something
she couldn't grasp. She felt the most remorse than anyone
could ever show. Minako notice what was happening. Minako
picked up the remote and turned off the TV and spoke.

"A happy person like you shouldn't watch things like that.
I'm here for you."

Minako told her. Usagi embraced her softly as her tears fell
and crystallized and one hit Minako's hand. She felt Usagi's
fears and misery that she had experienced over the last
several months. Minako felt so terrible that a person could
carry such emotions. Usagi felt the warmth of her friend
comforting her so softly.

"It's okay, don't cry. You're not alone."

Usagi looked up at Minako. More memories started flooding
back like a freight train. Usagi remembered all the times
that Minako had been there for her to encourage her. Then
Usagi heard a knock on the door and then came in a dark
haired young man and a pink haired girl. As Usagi stared
at the girl. Memories flooded back like never before of
the many times the dark haired man had been there for
her and was willing to put his life on the line for her
and also she felt a strong bond between her and the pink
haired girl. More memories came flooding back of all the
times Usagi had defended Chibiusa and suddenly a pink
flash occurred and Usagi was transported to the White
Room. And there was Usagi with her normal blond hair
wearing her normal school uniform and looking extremely
upset. Crystallina approached her and spoke.

"So Serenity have you decided to accept me yet? We can't
be totally united we have complete trust with each other."

Princess Crystallina asked in a stern voice. This made
Usagi snap like a bunch of broken twigs. Usagi spoke.

"MY NAME IS TSUKINO, USAGI! USAGI! MY FRIENDS CALL ME
USAGI-CHAN AND NOT SERENITY! I HAVEN'T BEEN SERENITY
FOR OVER A THOUSAND YEARS! EVER SINCE I FIRST MET YOU,
YOU NEVER CALLED ME BY MY NAME 'USAGI'. WHAT'S WORSE
IS YOU CUT OFF MY MEMORY AND VOICE SO I COULDN'T
TALK TO MY FRIENDS! WHAT MAKES EVEN WORSE I HAVEN'T
HAD REAL PEACE SINCE THE ICE TITAN CAME ON THE SCENE.
I HAD BEEN KILLED THREE TIMES, PUT UNDER POWERFUL
SPELLS, HAD NIGHTMARES. TO MAKE IT EVEN WORSE THE
NIGHTMARES CAME SO BAD THAT I WAS BECOMING SO UNSTABLE
AND RECKLESS! ON TOP OF THIS I'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT A
HUMAN ACTUALLY FEELS AND I'LL NEVER BE NORMAL AGAIN!"

Usagi yelled like she never yelled before as she recalled
the events of the last several months. Crystallina at
first shone fear in her eyes and then it turned to shock
of the words of Usagi, but Usagi wasn't done yet.

"WHAT MAKES IT EVEN WORSE IS THAT I THOUGHT I COULD
WITHSTAND THE ATTACKS OF THE ICE TITAN, BUT THE MORE
TRIED TO BE BRAVE AND BE THE CHAMPION OF JUSTICE SAILOR
MOON, THE MORE IT WAS HARDER TO FIGHT AND ENDURE THE
HARDSHIPS I HAD FACED THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. I THOUGHT
I COULD DEFEAT THE ICE TITAN'S FORCES, BUT I AM A WEAKLING
AFTER ALL..."

Usagi yelled and then she trailed off as she lost all endurance
to speak and her tears turned silent as she sat on the floor
in tears. She hadn't let out so much sorrow in a long time.
Crystallina stood and now in tears of how Usagi felt so much
hurt and anguish. Crystallina collapsed to the floor and
she broke down in tears of her own. She spoke to Usagi.

"I am so sorry... Sere..." she started as she caught herself and
then continuing, "I am so sorry Usagi-Chan. I never meant to
hurt you and cause you emotional pain. Please forgive me.
I didn't mean to be so formal. It was the way I was raised.
I had to call people by their proper names. I never considered
your feelings Usagi-Chan, when I placed myself in you, I
was afraid for my existence and obeying my mother's command
to come to earth to find the Legendary Soldier to keep me safe
and to be protected, when I got to earth, you were just a baby,
i couldn't wait until you were older, I had to do what was right.
Not knowing by placing myself in you would change you life forever.
I am so sorry Usagi-Chan, This is something that should have not
had happened, but I acted quickly and in haste not thinking of
the consequences... please forgive me..."

Crystallina lost her will to speak as the tears overtook her
and then Crystallina felt a warm hand on her shoulder. It was
Usagi smiling a bit and she spoke.

"Princess, please don't cry. I am here for you."

Usagi spoke as Crystallina looked at her expectantly like there
was hope around the corner, but Crystallina continued again,

"I am so sorry Usagi for what tribulation I put you through. I feel
ashamed to call myself a princess let alone someone who should have
not mingled with a human... to cause you pain. I am so sorry..."

Crystallina spoke again in tears and Usagi spoke again.

"Please Crystallina, do not cry. I am here. I forgive you. Sometimes
I tend to blow a lot of steam. You called me Usagi-Chan right?"

Usagi encouraged her. Crystallina thought for a moment and then
spoke, "Yes, I guess I did without realizing."

Usagi smiled and spoke, "I can accept anyone who calls me Usagi-Chan."
Usagi told her in a friendly way.

"Really? You would be my friend after what I done to you Usagi-Chan?"

Crystallina asked hoping for the best. Usagi helped Crystallina
from off the floor.

"I will be your friend Crystallina. I offer we start trusting each
so we can focus on our enemy. If we pledge ourselves to each other,
I forgive you. You're such a nice person. At Azabu Park after the
Pink Crystal appeared, I experienced a lot of your happy memories.
You got a lot of people that care for you. I mean, for us."

Usagi spoke as she gave Crystallina her answer. Usagi was starting
to think already that her and Crystallina were one already.

"Oh I would love that. Making a vow to help each other. It is
such a good idea. Let's be friends and help each other."

Crystallina agreed with Usagi.

"I have a idea for you. How about I give you a less formal name I
can give you. It will be a name that only we will know. What do
you say?"

Usagi asked.

"Really? What name did you have in mind?"

Crystallina asked.

"Your name is Crystallina, how about I shorten it to Crystal and
call you Crystal-Chan. It's a short name as your full name, it
means the same, plus its a cuter name, I am not saying that
Crystallina isn't. It just make it easier when we are here alone
in this White Room the two of us."

Usagi offered.

"Oh, Usagi-Chan! I love that. it does sound cute. I like it. Let's
go with that."

Crystallina agree.

"Crystal-Chan, let's pledge our help to each other. Let's make
vows to fulfill the prophecy of the Legendary Soldier and the
Chosen One."

Usagi offered.

"Okay. Let's do it."

Crystallina agreed. Usagi was transformed into Princess Serenity.
Crystallina and Usagi placed their hands together and begin
speaking. Crystallina went first.

"I Princess Crystallina of the Crystal Moon Kingdom, pledge to give
my strength and power to Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, who
is also called Usagi-Chan, to help her in her time of need and to
give her the strength in times of need from this day forward."

Crystallina started. Then Princess Serenity continued,

"I Princess serenity of the Moon Kingdom, pledge to give
my strength and power to Princess Crystallina of the crystal Moon Kingdom,
who is also called Crystal-Chan, to help her in her time of need and to
give her the strength in times of need from this day forward."

Usagi continued and then both Crystallina and Serenity spoke in unison.

"... and to complete and end the Crystal War which descended to earth,
that the Chosen One and the Legendary Soldier together may be victorious!"

They concluded. And suddenly the Legendary Soldier Crystal Heart Brooch
Compact appeared and the Golden Fleece of Strength appeared.

"What's going on?"

Princess Serenity asked as she retransformed back into Usagi. She wondered
why the Golden Fleece of Strength would suddenly appear with Usagi's
brooch. Then Queen Serenity's voice was heard.

"Princess Serenity and Princess Crystallina, your devotion to each other
has recreated the Golden Fleece of Strength! As long as you two work
together for love, unity, and justice, the Golden Fleece will react
to her vow to help each other. The others in the Tsukino Household
await your return Usagi. Your devotion to each other Usagi, as unlocked
your memories and your speaking ability. You can now return. Your friends
await you."

Queen Serenity spoke and was not heard again.

"Crystal-Chan! We did it!"

Usagi squealed with glee.

"Yes, Usagi-Chan. Go now Usagi-Chan, I know you'll use my consciousness
well. I will always be here for you!"

Crystallina told her. Usagi transported herself out of the White
Room and re-appeared in the living room of the Tsukino Household.
Usagi's body glowed both pink and silver at same time. Ami looked
at her minicomputer, it said 100% stability for Usagi. Then Usagi
appeared again as Grand Princess Sailor Moon and with Grand Princess
Sailor Moon's Grand Princess Staff. Everyone took a defensive stance
as Usagi spoke.

"ChibiUsa! Small Lady! You little spore, you did it! You unlocked
my memories and speaking ability!"

Grand Princess Sailor Moon spoke as she went to the door laid
her staff at the end of the couch and picked up ChibiUsa.

"Small Lady, you did it! You unlocked everything! I have never
been so happy!"

Usagi spoke with tears that came down that crystallized. Then Usagi
regained her composure and picked up her staff and retransformed
back into Princess Crystallina.

"The good news is the Grand Princess and The Grand Princess
Sailor Moon is now a Soldier Form for Love and Justice! As
long as Crystallina and myself work hard and help each other,
Grand Princess Sailor Moon will be a stronger Soldier for
love and justice and not for chaos and destruction."

Usagi finished speaking and Rei came and led Usagi to
the couch and sat Usagi down and spoke.

"Are you sure its you Usagi-Chan?"

Rei asked. Usagi laughed like a hyena in a happy tone.

"Of course it's me Rei-Chan! Pyro! It has always been me!"

Usagi reassured Rei.

"Usagi-Chan, we never thought we would hear your voice again."

Makoto spoke as she sat on the other side of Rei. Mamoru sat
down next to Usagi.

"Your memory came back to Usako?"

Mamoru asked.

"Yes. All of it. Even all the bad memories. Now it feels like
a bad dream ended and I woke up."

Usagi thought.

"That's good to hear Usagi-Chan. A moment ago, when you saw the
images on the TV it made you cry. I know it must have been
rough not to speak. What do you remember of when you couldn't
speak?"

Minako asked.

"I remember everything. I was acting on my emotions and feelings.
I realized I couldn't talk so, I had to do what I thought was best
to communicate."

Usagi replied.

"I see. You almost squeezed Rei-Chan and Makoto half to death
earlier."

Ami added.

"Really?"

Usagi asked.

"Not only that but you balanced a 2,000 beam with one finger."

Makoto reflected what happened earlier.

"What else happened?"

Usagi asked.

"You healed Mako-Chan and also a slain girl."

Minako added.

"Really?"

Usagi wondered.

"Yes."

Rei confirmed.

"So, that must mean that the Pink Crystal had been reformed
and I transformed into Crystallina, I take it?"

Usagi asked.

"Yes, Usako. I reformed the Pink Crystal that saved your life."

Mamoru told Usagi.

"Really? Anyone have a mirror?"

Usagi asked. Ami brought hers out.

"Here."

Ami told her as she handed the mirror over. Usagi saw herself
in the mirror seeing her eyes being green, with her hair
and Odango's being turquoise blue and her dress being
pink.

"Amazing. I never thought this would happen."

Usagi thought as she handed back the mirror.

"So your thoughts Usagi?"

Ami asked.

"I don't know what to say."

Usagi answered as she looked up above her and saw the Pink
Crystal floating above her and she reached up and grabbed
it. She brought it down and put it in her hands.

"So this is the Pink Crystal? it's beautiful."

Usagi spoke as she was lost for words.

"Who do you like better Crystallina or yourself?"

ChibiUsa asked. Usagi closed her eyes and thought and
then spoke.

"Let's see... It's good to be myself. It's good to feel
my heart beat. To feel the warmth in my body. To know
that others care for me and I am never alone. Being me
is best. Feeling the warmth from this Pink Crystal gives
me peace to my mind and has given me comfort and hope."

She concluding lifting her head back silent concentrating
and as that happened, her and the Pink Crystal glowed
a pink glow at the same time and then Usagi returned
to normal and she opened her eyes again. Everyone stared
at her in awe of what just happened.

"It's good to be myself."

Usagi added.

"Usagi-Chan, you and the Pink Crystal became one for a moment.
You were glowing pink Usagi-Chan!"

Rei spoke in an excited tone.

"Yes, I know Rei. It just seemed natural to me. How long
after that fight at Azabu Park was I asleep for?"

Usagi commented and asked a question.

"You were asleep for just over two weeks."

Ami replied.

"Really? Wow."

Usagi asked in a curious tone.

"I guess you don't know about we were told by Nitara."

Ami answered.

"Oh? Something changed with me besides my appearance?"

Usagi asked as she released the Pink Crystal and it floated
to the spot above her head.

"When Nitara arrives, I'll let her explain."

Ami told Usagi. Not long after Ami spoke, Nitara and Neeblix
appeared out of nowhere with Koan and her group and Kunzite
and his group. Nitara spoke.

"I see you are back to normal, Princess."

Nitara started.

"I am sure you have lots of questions Princess."

Neeblix commented. Nitara came over to where Mamoru was and
spoke.

"May I sit here Mamoru?"

Nitara asked.

"Sure."

Mamoru replied and got up and Nitara sat next to Usagi. Nitara
spoke.

"How may I call you?"

Nitara asked.

"What you always called me from the first day I met you Nitara,
Usagi-Chan."

Usagi replied.

"Well, while you couldn't speak you didn't like to hear the
name Usagi."

Nitara thought back.

"Oh. I see. I think I know the answer to that, Crystallina and myself
had a misunderstanding and we worked it out."

Usagi explained the situation.

"I see, Usagi-Chan. Anyway, I need to tell you some important things.
I must discuss with you."

Nitara started.

"Like what?"

Usagi wondered.

"First of all, it's important that you listen to me very carefully. What
I may tell will shock you at first is that you're no longer human."

Nitara started trying not to give Usagi too much of a shock.

"I see."

Usagi answered like she knew already.

"I need to tell you this, it's very important. You need to make
sure you let the Pink Crystal do its job."

Nitara continued.

"Do what job?"

Usagi questioned Nitara.

"The Pink Crystal transfers to and from your body lifeforce energy.
This energy is necessary to keep you alive. The energy in your
body gives you special abilities plus with the Pink Crystal, it
keeps you alive, without it you could die. I don't want to sound
like I am being to harsh or cruel on you Usagi-Chan, for your
own safety and well being, you must stay here. If you ever leave
here, the Ice Titan could drain your lifeforce energy and it
will kill you, Usagi-Chan. It's very important that you remain
safe. The Ice Titan fears you now, and if he uses a monster
to drain your energy Usagi, it will spell disaster for us all."

Nitara explained the situation as best as possible.

"So, I have to stay here in my own residence?"

Usagi asked.

"That's correct. Usagi-Chan, trust me, I am on your side. I
don't want you to ever feel threatened, but on the Crystal
Moon when Queen CrystalStar was murdered by the Ice Titan
and Crystallina used her Pink Crystal and sealed the Ice
Titan, Krun Bruikas, Takalon, Morgoth, and Belogore. Takalon
and Krun Bruikas are still sealed. The Ice Titan may send
a monster to steal some of your energy to free Takalon and
he will use Takalon to steal more of your energy to free
Krun Bruikas the Leader of the Ice Kingdom. So, please
Usagi, for your own good, please stay here and keep your-
self safe."

Nitara explained. Usagi picked up the Pink Crystal down to
her lap and then she spoke.

"So, if they drain my energy what will happen?"

Usagi asked as she looked at the Pink crystal.

"If your energy gets drained you could faint or be injured. Remember
this well Usagi-Chan, the Pink Crystal makes you impervious to anything
but Takalon's claws which are made of Kuraizuishou. The Pink Crystal
makes you immune from its deadly rays, but if you are pierced by
his claws it could either leave you injured or you could be killed.
I know you are completely stable and and your energy is up to full.
Now, is your life worth something Usagi-Chan? Think about it before
answering. Everyone can only protect you so far. Losing you means
we lose Crystallina too. Plus you need to save your energy. The
battles will become a lot harder and we may need you if everything
else fails. Just remember what I said. You also need to know this.
Tsuki, please come here."

Nitara explained and Tsuki jumped to the coffee table.

"This is Tsuki, Crystallina's cat... your cat. She has a
direct link to you. If you drain all your energy you will faint
as well as her if your energy gets drained by the enemy,
you could get injured and or die. And she will reflect what
you feel. Do you understand?"

Nitara asked. Usagi thought for a moment, looked at her Pink Crystal.
She was glad she was still alive, but now that Usagi could speak
again and had regained all of her memories, a lot of restrictions
had been placed on her. This made it difficult decision for her.
She wasn't used to being told what to do. She liked being carefree
and making her own decisions. Usagi thought of the words that
she would say. Everyone stared at her awaiting a reply. Then she
spoke.

"I have been used to making my own decisions and deciding what's
best. Now you're saying I have to remain behind to keep myself
safe from harm. You have put me between a rock and a hard place.
This is something I am not used to doing. Remember, how I feel,
I didn't have a choice from the day I was born, and now I
can't go anywhere. I will try to do my best to stay here, but
I can't promise you that I'll be able stay here if I get
desperate. But I'll do as you suggest."

Usagi replied in a desperate tone. Nitara looked depressed as well
and then she spoke.

"It's hard for me too Usagi-Chan, but remember this, if you get
to the point that you're reckless and uncontrollable I have
ways to keep you here. Let's hope that it don't get that way.
I have grown fond of you Usagi. I have watched from the beginning
and have cared for you like a mother does, believe me, I have your
bests interests at heart, okay?"

Nitara spoke to her again in a motherly fashion.

"I understand how you feel Nitara, I don't want to put any of
you in danger because of me."

Usagi answered.

"Please remember this Usagi, the Pink Crystal transformed you into
Crystallina to save your life. So, in every sense of the word,
you are Crystallina, except your consciousness is the one that
is dominate and Crystallina's is what has united with you. You
are the Legendary Soldier and she is the Chosen One, both of
you merged so together the enemy may be defeated. So be safe and
be strong. That is your best bet. You have access to Crystallina's
consciousness and you can talk to her in the White Room if I am
correct. You now have her memories as well as your own. That's why
when after you became Crystallina, you only had access to her
memories because yours was still locked away. Now I just want
you to relax, and be happy and let those protect you to keep
you safe no matter what agreed?"

Nitara explained to her.

"Okay. I will try to relax, I just don't want people to be hurt
for me. Just don't get yourselves hurt because of the account
of me."

Usagi spoke as she thought about all she had been through so
far.

"I understand your feelings Usagi-Chan, I really do. Just
be safe, that's all I ask."

Nitara calmly explained to her. Knowing full well how Usagi
felt on the matters any better.

"If you excuse me, I think I'll go lay down for awhile. Luna,
want to come with me?"

Usagi asked as she got up from the sofa.

"Sure Usagi-Chan."

Luna answered following Usagi and they went into her room. Usagi
shut the door and laid on the bed. Luna sat next to her.

"Luna, you and I have been together for a long time, and I
have learned a lot from you. I miss being irresponsible
and a crybaby, it seems so distant these days."

Usagi spoke as she laid there.

"Usagi-Chan, I know how you feel, but change is good. I think
Nitara wants to keep you safe and from harm. The Ice Titan
will come after you if you're out in the open. The Ice Titan
will seek to hurt you to fulfill his objective. It's best to
stay here and be safe."

Luna told her in a loving way. Over the next few days Usagi
began to feel trapped at home. This was making her uneasy.

'I need fresh air, I must escape.'

She thought to herself. She waited until no one was in her room
and then she grabbed her Pink Crystal and silently transported
into the White Room. There Crystallina was there waiting for her
return. Usagi spoke to her.

"Crystal-Chan, how are you today?"

Usagi asked.

"Usagi-Chan, I am fine."

Crystallina replied.

"I have a question for you."

Usagi told her.

"What's your question?"

Crystallina wondered.

"I am feeling trapped in my own house and I need to escape. What can
I do to keep from being found and caught? I got to get out. It's
driving me crazy!"

Usagi spoke in a desperate tone.

"There is two things that will be helpful to you. First is
'Crystallina Disguise Power and the other is called
'Internal Defenses, Activate.'"

Crystallina explained.

"Okay, and how do I access those?"

Usagi asked.

"Crystallina Disguise Power works when you touch a picture or
something in that nature. The disguise power only works on a
picture of a human, remember that. Now, disguise power will not
work psychics. Make sure stay away from Nitara. She'll be
able to sense you."

Crystallina explained.

"I better stay away from Rei too, she's been around me longer
than Nitara has."

Usagi added.

"That might be best. The other is 'Internal Defenses Activate.'
That activates the defensive system in your body and sends
your energy at anyone who is threatening you. But that attack
is immune to the Crystal Zapper which uses both the
Pink Crystal and Dark Crystal to put you to sleep for a
short time."

Crystallina explained.

"I see. I better be careful then, One more question."

Usagi asked again.

"When I come in here, in the real world, is time at a stand
still?"

Usagi asked.

"Yes, but if the Crystal Zapper is used to keep you in
an enclosure, you can transport here. And you can remain
here as long as you want and go back the same time as
you left."

Crystallina explained again.

"I see, I just thought of this, can the Pink Crystal
be turned off or changed to where I get little or no
energy? Not that I want it to get that way."

Usagi thought out loud.

"One more thing, Psychics will be able to sense the energy
signature of the Pink Crystal. Make sure you stay away
from Rei and Nitara. Your Friend Ami has a program that
tracks your whereabouts, if you're disguised or cloaked
she can't track you."

Crystallina explained.

"I see, that's helpful. I had better go."

Usagi decided.

"Be careful Usagi-Chan, Make sure the Ice Titan gets you
first before your friends. Be safe."

Crystallina told her.

"I will Crystal-Chan, goodbye for now."

Usagi answers and she teleports out of the White Room
back into her room.

'Well, as they say, there is no time like the present.
It's better to be outside than to be cooped all day.
I better make a break for it out the window. I need
a disguise first, oh what's this...'

Usagi thinks to herself and sees a picture of
ad for concert.

'That might work. I still have that cape of Flight
and invisibility, I better take that with me. It
might buy me extra time to get a away from here.'

Usagi thinks to herself. She opens a drawer and pulls
out the cape. Then she touches the picture of
a woman in the concert ad and speaks.

"Crystallina Disguise Power!"

Usagi calls out as she touched the picture. She changes
to the picture of the woman from the add. Then she
wraps herself around the cape of flight and invisibility.
She opens the window and escapes with the ad on hand
to dispose of it elsewhere so they can't find her
easily.

Minutes later, Makoto knocks on Usagi's door, but
gets no answer. Then Makoto opens the door and
sees the window open.

"Please, don't tell me Usagi-Chan has escaped?"

Makoto thinks to herself. Then she activates her
communicator and speaks into it.

"Everyone! This is an emergency! Usagi-Chan has escaped
out of her bedroom window! Meet me at once at the
Tsukino residence."

Makoto spoke into her communicator.

"Thanks, Makoto. Nitara is here with me. I'll
let her know."

Ami answered. Ami shut off her communicator. Within
minutes Nitara, Neeblix, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako,
Naru, Umino, and Mamoru met outside the Tsukino
residence. Nitara spoke.

"Listen everyone. Usagi is a danger to herself. She must
be capture with little or no violence as possible. She
will do anything from being captured. Remember she can
use the 'Internal Defenses Activate' to get you to be
overwhelmed until you pass out. You must be careful
everyone. Usagi will be on alert and will be watching
for us. Rei, you and I are psychics, we can use that
if she is cloaked, her power will fail if you are close
to her. Everyone, be careful. Don't transform unless
you have to. She can't be damaged by attacks because
of the Power of the Pink Crystal. But we can use the
Crystal Zapper to get her to faint. Ami, do you still
have that Kuraizuishou shard?"

Nitara explained and then asked a question.

"Yes, here it is."

Ami opened her led box and handed it to Neeblix.

"This is needed to make her faint. This will overwhelm
her to the point that she go to sleep rather quickly.
her 'Internal Defenses are ineffective against the
Crystal Zapper since it uses both Pink Crystal and
Kuraizuishou energy to make her faint. Let's go."

Neeblix instructs them. Will they find and catch her
before it's too late? be there next time and find
out.

Next on Crystal Princess, Usagi has escaped! She is a danger
to herself and to others! Can they find her before the
enemy does? Be there next time!
