SailorStar9: With Chapter 10 uploaded, this is Chapter 11 of this fic. Well, this chapter should be the last of the flashback chapters. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Pairings: Furuya Rei/Mizuno Ami
Disclaimers: I own absolutely nothing, except this plot and pairing.
Chapter 11: The Return
It was a busy afternoon at Beika Airport; the air traffic controllers were coordinating the commercial planes landing and taking off.
The airport's sliding glass doors then slid open to reveal Ami with Fumio in one hand, her other hand pulling her luggage along.
"Japan, I'm back." the cyber-security expert remarked, shielding her eyes from the sun with a hand; the sapphire crystal bracelet she wore on her wrist glittered in the sunlight. "Taxi!" she hailed down a cab. Boarding the transport, if one can see closely enough, you can see engraving of the 'Eternal Mercury Harp' on the largest sapphire on the bracelet.
Elsewhere in different districts in Japan, the other three Inner Senshi hid a smile as the engravings of their 'Eternal Talismans' on their own gemstone accessories lit up with their respective colors. Welcome back, Mercury Queen.
And with the Planetary Alliance reformed, Eternal Sailor Pluto mused from the Time Gates. It will form a solid line of defense should Chiba Usagi try to disrupt the original timeline with the Ginzuishou. I have to admit, though, Mercury's rant years ago was a rude wake-up call. The past should remain in the past. There's really no real point recreating the Moon Kingdom in present times. The legacy of the White Moon will die out in this lifetime; Queen Selenity's laws no longer apply. The only oaths that still bind me are the ones I took when Father Chronos bestowed to me my powers.
"Ikari-buchō." Ami greeted her new department head the next morning.
"Mizuno-fukubuchō." the 35-year-old man returned the greeting. "An impressive work history." he noted. "The America FBI and CIA gave you glowing recommendations. But what I'm more interested in is..." he gave Ami a grin. "The anti-terrorism program you call 'Project Cerebro'."
SailorStar9: Any OOC-ness is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Read and review.
