rlm@2 4 <AN: Well, I was inspired for this story by "I don't know what's going to
rlm@2 5 happen, so i have to do what i can, right now." And this came out. Sorry sad
rlm@2 6 ending >.< Very very sorry, don't read if you don't like sad endings!!!>
rlm@2 7
rlm@2 8
rlm@2 9 "Onegai,Temu-chan!" The small girl of 15 was on her knees in front of
rlm@2 10 another girl 16 years of age, her hands drawn together in begging. The one
rlm@2 11 standing had long black raven hair which reached her lower back, a horrified
rlm@2 12 efpression on her face as she grabbed the other girl's wrist and pulled her
rlm@2 13 to her feet, running around the corner into a quiet alleyway and out of
rlm@2 14 prying eyes. She sighed and the slightly shorter girl with shoulder length
rlm@2 15 pink hair. Her raven haired girl shook her head and looked out into the
rlm@2 16 crowded street.
rlm@2 17 "Iie! Definatly not, no way no how! You know what Mama Taru and Mama Usagi
rlm@2 18 said!" The younger girl pouted and put a hand behind her head.
rlm@2 19 "You're no fun, Temu-chan." Temura laughed and poked the pink haired girl's
rlm@2 20 nose gently
rlm@2 21 "Well I wouldn't be a spoil sport either if you didn't suggest such
rlm@2 22 ridiculous things." She let go the smaller girls wrist and sighed slightly,
rlm@2 23 catching sight of her watch and swearing violently.
rlm@2 24 "Kuso! We're late, come on!" They sprinted from the alley, barely missing a
rlm@2 25 passer by as they did so, running out into the street and shouting a hurried
rlm@2 26 appology over their shoulders.
rlm@2 27
rlm@2 28 Within ten or so minutes they were standing outside Hino Shrine, panting
rlm@2 29 heavily and walking in. As they entered they took of their purple and pink
rlm@2 30 coats, hanging them on the rack and moving down the hall to their usual
rlm@2 31 room. As soon as they stepped in the door the older senshi looked up.
rlm@2 32 "You're late" Serenity stated, and Rei laughed
rlm@2 33 "You're one to talk! You only just got here yourself" Serenity pouted and
rlm@2 34 laughed, putting a hand behind her head
rlm@2 35 "Eheh... Gomen Rei-chan." Usagi rolled her eyes at her mother, who was now
rlm@2 36 coming up 80, yet her figure had hardly become old, just matured to be more
rlm@2 37 feminine, her eyes now holding a wiser glow. On Serenity's right side sat
rlm@2 38 Mamouru, and on her left was Usagi. Beside Usagi was Hotaru, both now gone
rlm@2 39 30, yet still looking 20 or so. Temura took her place beside Hotaru, and
rlm@2 40 Skaie took her place beside Temura. Next to her was Ami, then Makoto, then
rlm@2 41 Rei, Minako, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna and back to Mamouru. Serenity stood
rlm@2 42 from the circle and bowed a greeting.
rlm@2 43 "So, now we're all present, we can begin. Usagi, Hotaru, if you will?" They
rlm@2 44 both nodded and rose as Serenity sat down. The two younger girls got onto
rlm@2 45 one knee as their respective parents stood before them. Hotaru held out a
rlm@2 46 henshin stick in both hands, holding it out for Skaie to take. It had a pink
rlm@2 47 handle and a pink sphere on the top, inside was the symbol of Saturn
rlm@2 48 standing out against a cresent moon. Usagi did likewise to Temura, her being
rlm@2 49 exactly the same as Skaie's but with a purple sphere. The two reached out
rlm@2 50 and placed their right hand on top of the sticks, bowing their heads.
rlm@2 51 "With these you are entrusted the power of a sailor senshi, and are bound by
rlm@2 52 duty to protect this earth from all wrongdoers. Do you accept this mission?"
rlm@2 53 Hotaru and Usagi spoke together.
rlm@2 54 "We accept this mission" echoed the two younger girls in unison. The two
rlm@2 55 girls took the wands in their right hand and held it to their chests,
rlm@2 56 waiting. The senshi stood and the two moved to the centre of the circle, the
rlm@2 57 others moving to fill the gap. The senshi all transformed, Serenity and
rlm@2 58 Mamouru transforming into the king and queen of future Crystal Tokyo. Hotaru
rlm@2 59 and Usagi transformed, expecting to become their princess forms now their
rlm@2 60 positions had been filled, but instead they found themselves in their usual
rlm@2 61 sailor fuku's. The others also seemed slightly surprised and watched the two
rlm@2 62 girls in the centre for their change. The two opened their eyes and raised
rlm@2 63 their heads, chanting together.
rlm@2 64 "Saturn star power!" Sailor Moon and Sailor Saturn exchanged a glance, they
rlm@2 65 were supposed to use different transormation phrases. One was supposed to be
rlm@2 66 of the moon. They all continued to watch as their transformations revealed
rlm@2 67 themselves. The two were standing in sailor fuku's like the the others. Her
rlm@2 68 gloves were short, only covering her wrists, and a rim of purple followed
rlm@2 69 the white. Temura's skirt was purple and she wore purple knee high boots
rlm@2 70 with no fastenings, a rim of white at the top. Her bow was lilac and a star
rlm@2 71 shape covered the centre of it. The body of the fuku was white like the
rlm@2 72 other's and her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail held by a purple
rlm@2 73 ribbon. Her tiara had a purple cresent moon on it and her earrings were
rlm@2 74 plain purple studs, her chocker also plain and purple. As she came out of
rlm@2 75 her transformation she called her speech.
rlm@2 76 "In the name of the power of silence, Sailor Saturn!" Again Saturn and Moon
rlm@2 77 exchanged looks, two sailor Saturns? They continued to watch as Skaie came
rlm@2 78 out of her transformation. A plain white fuku as the others, with a deep
rlm@2 79 pink skirt and boots reaching her thighs, fastened at the front with laces.
rlm@2 80 Her bow was baby pink and a circle covered the centre, her glowes reaches
rlm@2 81 aboce her elbows and had a pink rim, studs from her ears holding a chain
rlm@2 82 which lead to a cuff on the top of her ear and her choker plain pink, her
rlm@2 83 hair loose and ehr tiara with a pink cresent moon on it. She too spoke her
rlm@2 84 speech as she completed the transformation.
rlm@2 85 "In the name of the power of death and rebirth, Sailor Moon!" There was a
rlm@2 86 stunned silence. As if the first transformation hadn't stunned them enough,
rlm@2 87 there were two. Two Sailor Moons. Two Sailor Saturns. And the two younger
rlm@2 88 ones used the same power phrase to come out with different transformations,
rlm@2 89 yet despite their given name they each had only a portion of the power of
rlm@2 90 Sailor Saturn. One silence, one death and rebirth. Saturn and Moon once more
rlm@2 91 exchanged glances, but no one spoke. In the end it was Ami who spoke up.
rlm@2 92 "Welcome to the team, Sailor Saturn, Sailor Moon." They all rushed in to hug
rlm@2 93 the new recruits except Mamouru, Saturn and Pluto.
rlm@2 94 "This is a bad omen." Pluto stated quietly so the others wouldnt overhear,
rlm@2 95 and the two nodded their agreement.
rlm@2 96 "Why would this happen, is it because two soldiers came together of
rlm@2 97 unnatural means?" Mamouru shook his head to Saturn.
rlm@2 98 "Regardless of means used or senshi by senshi, it shouldn't happen that
rlm@2 99 there be more than one senshi of a planet. Usagi and Serenity are the only
rlm@2 100 exception to the rule, but they aren't both Sailor Moon any longer. When
rlm@2 101 they did coinside, it was Chibi-moon and Moon anyway. So what does the omen
rlm@2 102 mean?" They both looked to Pluto and she frowned, shrugging slightly.
rlm@2 103 "I'm afriad I have no clue. I'll go and research into it right away." The
rlm@2 104 two nodded and covered for her as she stepped back into a black hole.
rlm@2 105 "Where's Pluto going guys?" Serenity called over and Mamoru answered.
rlm@2 106 "She just went to get supplies, love, that's all." Serenity seemed fine the
rlm@2 107 with the answer and went back to yacking happily with the others, but Uranus
rlm@2 108 and Neptune didn't accept it and moved over to the two.
rlm@2 109 "What is it?" Uranus asked, and Saturn shrugged.
rlm@2 110 "We just don't know. It should be immpossible to have more than one senshi
rlm@2 111 for a single planet. These transformations propose a bad omen which not even
rlm@2 112 Pluto forsaw, so she's gone to research. In the meantime we can only wait
rlm@2 113 and see what else presents itself to us.
rlm@2 114 Neptune and Uranus nodded, joining hands and exchanging a heartfelt glance
rlm@2 115 before sitting down in front of the table and sighing. Sailor Moon moved
rlm@2 116 over to Saturn and hugged her tightly, kissing her softly on the lips.
rlm@2 117 Saturn returned the kiss and smiled warmly.
rlm@2 118 "Usa-chan. Do you realise what has happened here today?" Sailor moon nodded
rlm@2 119 and shrugged, shockingly like Saturn had done.
rlm@2 120 "I'm well aware that there is meant to be only the one senshi yes, but
rlm@2 121 regardless of what the rules were, they wouldn't have been broken for no
rlm@2 122 reason, so stop worrying and be happy. Now lets start the food!" Sailor Moon
rlm@2 123 drooled over the table full of cooking and Saturn laughed as they all took
rlm@2 124 their place around the table, leaving a space for Pluto's return.
rlm@2 125 After an hour or so of scoffing food, chatting and laughing, Pluto returned
rlm@2 126 through the now familiar black hole, and took her seat at the table. The
rlm@2 127 remaining outer scouts and Mamoru looked up to her, and with a quick nod it
rlm@2 128 was obvious there was something that had to be said. But it would have to
rlm@2 129 wait, and they all continued as if nothing was wrong until the end of the
rlm@2 130 party. As they were all standing to tidy up Pluto caught Rei's arm and
rlm@2 131 pulled her outside the door, hushing her to quiet as she moved to object.
rlm@2 132 "Rei, this is important, I need a fire-reading." Rei blinked and rolled her
rlm@2 133 eyes.
rlm@2 134 "Can't it wait, Pluto? And why are you outers still in your Fuku's? And
rlm@2 135 Mamouru for that matter. Go tell them to change." Rei moved to walk back
rlm@2 136 into the room, but Pluto grabbed her elbow tightly and Rei looked up to her
rlm@2 137 to see urgency in her eyes. She stood for a while before nodding and sliding
rlm@2 138 open the door. "Fine, after we've tidyed up and everyone's gone home." Pluto
rlm@2 139 nodded and as they walked back in Saturn caught her eye, and she nodded.
rlm@2 140 After yet another hour or so the room was finally cleared, and people began
rlm@2 141 to filter out. Saturn caught Usagi outside and kissed her neck softly from
rlm@2 142 behind, wrapping her arms around ehr waist.
rlm@2 143 "Ne, Usa-chan, Can you take the girls home tonight? I want to hang around
rlm@2 144 with Setsuna-mama, Michiru-mama and Haruka-papa a while." Usagi nodded and
rlm@2 145 kissed her gently, smiling as she walked away, calling the girls to follow
rlm@2 146 her. Saturn smiled to their backs and turned back into the Shrine. Minako
rlm@2 147 and Rei were kissing softly behind the door and Saturn smiled before moving
rlm@2 148 past. Minako and Rei broke apart and Rei waved as Minako left the shrine.
rlm@2 149 Serenity took Mamouru's hand and smiled.
rlm@2 150 "You're staying right?" Mamouru nodded slightly and they too kissed before
rlm@2 151 Serenity left, pausing only to wait for Makoto and Ami to catch up to her.
rlm@2 152 Rei shut the door softly behind them and sighed.
rlm@2 153 "Would you guys at least come out of your fuku's? It makes me nervous. They
rlm@2 154 all nodded and in seconds were returned to their usual selves, and followed
rlm@2 155 Rei into the fire chamber, Setsuna at the front, then Mamoru, Hotaru, Haruka
rlm@2 156 and Michiru. Rei sat down in front of the fire and glanced behind her at the
rlm@2 157 others before rolling her eyes and beginning to chant quietly. After half an
rlm@2 158 hour they were all still silent, not one of them having moved. They all had
rlm@2 159 their heads bowed in silent contemplation of their situation when Rei
rlm@2 160 screamed out and was thrown backwards into Setsuna, who caught her and held
rlm@2 161 her tightly.
rlm@2 162 "Rei-chan? Hold yourself together! Rei-chan!" The others ran forward as
rlm@2 163 Rei's wide eyes closed, uttering a single word.
rlm@2 164 "Abunai..." Setsuna yelled over her shoulder to whoever was closest to the
rlm@2 165 door.
rlm@2 166 "Someone call Ami here now!"
rlm@2 167
rlm@2 168 "We don't know, there was silence, then she screamed and fell back, said
rlm@2 169 "Abunai" and left..." Hotaru was explaining and Ami nodded slightly, taking
rlm@2 170 Rei's pulse and sighing to find it average.
rlm@2 171 "This is a good sign. She appears to be healthy, maybe she just pushed
rlm@2 172 herself too hard."
rlm@2 173 "Or maybe she was looking at something she wasn't supposed to see." Setsuna
rlm@2 174 suggested, Hotaru agreed, nodding slightly.
rlm@2 175 "But how do we find out what it was?" Setsuna shrugged and they all sighed
rlm@2 176 together, Mamouru standing up.
rlm@2 177 "We should call a meeting. Let the other girls know." They all nodded and
rlm@2 178 within a few minutes, and with courtesy of the communicators, all the senshi
rlm@2 179 were gathered at the Shrine. Temura and Skaie had come too, and were looking
rlm@2 180 low in spirit as they took their place at the table, two empty chairs where
rlm@2 181 Rei and Minako should be sitting. Mina was leaning over Rei and tending to
rlm@2 182 her, putting a damp cloth on her forehead.
rlm@2 183 "What can do Minna?" Serenity came out it and none of them had an answer.
rlm@2 184 "All we know it there's a reason to be careful, aside from that what else is
rlm@2 185 there to know? It's impossible to tell from one word." Usagi was off on a
rlm@2 186 tangent and everyone was beginning to tone her out when Hotaru spoke over
rlm@2 187 her.
rlm@2 188 "Temura, Skaie, please follow me?" The two nodded and Hotaru took Usagi's
rlm@2 189 hand, leading her to the fire chamber. The others followed behind the four.
rlm@2 190 As they entered the fire was burning as always, and as Hotaru and Usagi
rlm@2 191 stepped forward it remained calm, but as they each held their hands out to
rlm@2 192 the two girls and they stepped forward, it spat and spewed sparks over the
rlm@2 193 floor by their feet. The two younger girls stepped back and it quieted once
rlm@2 194 more. Hotaru turned to the others, taking Usagi's hand once more.
rlm@2 195 "You two seem an anomalie." They both looked at each other and Hotaru
rlm@2 196 proceeded to shrug, she knew no more or less than that. They didn't belong.
rlm@2 197 Suddenly the fire whipped up and hit the ceiling before reducing to be
rlm@2 198 normal size, though spiralling around dangerously as if a whirl pool of
rlm@2 199 flame. The two younger girls stepped further back but Usagi and Hotaru
rlm@2 200 stayed where they were.
rlm@2 201 "Out the way minna!" Minako called and the other parted from the door. Rei
rlm@2 202 was leaning on Minako's shoulders, Mina supporting her weight steadily as
rlm@2 203 they stepped forward.
rlm@2 204 "Out!" Rei shouted to the two younger girls, then to the rest. "Get out!"
rlm@2 205 They all stood silent for a second before a heavy wind blew from no where,
rlm@2 206 spiralling the flames out of control. They lashed at the walls and ceiling,
rlm@2 207 yet the shrine didn't seem to burn at all. The senshi braced themselves
rlm@2 208 against the wind and flames, closing their eyes. The flames whipped through
rlm@2 209 them all, not touching one before rearing together above them and heading
rlm@2 210 straight down for Hotaru and Usagi. Hotaru had her eyes open and saw it
rlm@2 211 coming, diving forward and grabbing Usagi around the waist, rolling out of
rlm@2 212 hrams way. She looked up to see the flames begginning again, and transformed
rlm@2 213 in an instant, feeling Usagi do the same beneath her. With a flick of her
rlm@2 214 wrist the silence glaive appeared just in time, allowing her to part the
rlm@2 215 flames away to keep them safe. Saturn grimaced slightly, her hands smoking
rlm@2 216 painfully. She took a few deep breaths and stood, grabbing Sailor Moon's
rlm@2 217 hand and running from the building, out into the courtyard. Skaie and Temura
rlm@2 218 followed them, transforming as they went. This time Sailor Saturn had a
rlm@2 219 small purple wand in her hand, a plain purple handle with the frame of a
rlm@2 220 heart, no centre at all. Sailor Moon also had a weapon, but instead of a
rlm@2 221 wand she held a staff like Sailor Saturn's Silence Glaive, only with a full
rlm@2 222 circle blade with the centre missing.
rlm@2 223 "We've distorted the flow of time!" Saturn shouted over the noise of the
rlm@2 224 increasing wind. The others had also transformed and were runing out into
rlm@2 225 the courtyard.
rlm@2 226 "What the hell are we fighting?" Sailor Jupiter hollared, but no one had an
rlm@2 227 answer. The wind began to blow stonger and Saturn and Moon joined hands,
rlm@2 228 looking over to their daughters. If only this had never happened. Suddenly a
rlm@2 229 crack appeared in the earth between Saturn and Moon and Sailor Moon slipped
rlm@2 230 down, Saturn grabbing her wrist tightly.
rlm@2 231 "Clutz!" Sailor Moon heard Saturn joke over the roar of the wind and laughed
rlm@2 232 slightly, but felt Saturn's grip weaken and looked up worriedly. Saturn's
rlm@2 233 expression was one of pain, and Sailor Moon realised the burns over her
rlm@2 234 gloved hands.
rlm@2 235 "Gomen ne Saturn!" Saturn shook her head and yanked hard on her arm, pulling
rlm@2 236 Sailor Moon to safety. They sat together for a second to regain their breath
rlm@2 237 as the fire broke out of the shrine, whirring through the halls and doors in
rlm@2 238 a long spiral to head towards Saturn and Moon. They both jumped to their
rlm@2 239 feet and Saturn began to spin her glaive, but Sailor Moon stopped her,
rlm@2 240 grabbing her wrists. "If you do that. You'll destroy your hands!" Saturn
rlm@2 241 shrugged her off and began again.
rlm@2 242 "I see no alternative!" Suddenly there was a cry from across the clearing.
rlm@2 243 "Death star!" A purple flash of light illuminated the clearing as Sailor
rlm@2 244 Saturn fired off her attack, the end of her staff disattatching to become a
rlm@2 245 ball of purple light, which smashed into the fire spiral and dissipated it.
rlm@2 246 As the attack hit the top of the staff returned to its rightful place. They
rlm@2 247 all watched Sailor Saturn surprised and then fell to their knees as the
rlm@2 248 ground began to shake beneath them.
rlm@2 249 "I figured it out!" Pluto shouted across the yard. "The disruption of the
rlm@2 250 balance of nature! Too many sailors! It's unbalanced! We're fighting nature!
rlm@2 251 The elements!" A look of realisation lingered over the senshi and Saturn and
rlm@2 252 Moon shared a serious look before Saturn opened up a portal, taking Moon's
rlm@2 253 hand and jumping into it, sealing it behind them. As soon as they left the
rlm@2 254 air became still and the ground ceased shaking, everything becoming eerily
rlm@2 255 quiet. Silence reigned over the senshi also, as they watched the two younger
rlm@2 256 girls get their feet. It dawned on them that they had to go and find the two
rlm@2 257 women, and immediatly they all jumped into action. They must have gone
rlm@2 258 somewhere.
rlm@2 259
rlm@2 260 "Hotaru-chan?" Hotaru looked to the young women sitting beside her on the
rlm@2 261 top of a hill that overlooked the moon's ruins.
rlm@2 262 "Hai, Usagi-chan?" Usagi wrapped her arms around Hotaru's waist and burryed
rlm@2 263 her head in her shirt.
rlm@2 264 "I'm scared..." Hotaru hushed her softly and rubbed her hair with her hand.
rlm@2 265 "It's ok, Usagi-chan. I'll never leave your side. SO you never have anything
rlm@2 266 to fear." Hotaru held Usagi closer as she cried, tears falling down her own
rlm@2 267 cheeks as well. "Are you ready?" Usagi nodded gently and closed her eyes as
rlm@2 268 Hotaru summoned her Glaive, pulling Usagi into a hug with one hand and
rlm@2 269 kissing her gently. Usagi took her hand in her own and their fingers
rlm@2 270 entwined as Hotaru positioned the glaive behind Usagi's heart, pushing it
rlm@2 271 through hard, piercing through them both and then pulling out, dropping it
rlm@2 272 and gripping Usagi tightly. They fell side by side in silence, and shared a
rlm@2 273 deep kiss as their eyes closed, passing into the flow of death and rebirth
rlm@2 274 once again.
rlm@2 275
rlm@2 276 Uranus and Neptune appeared at the bottom of the hill and sprinted to the
rlm@2 277 top. Michiru gasped loudly and Uranus grabbed her shoulders, pulling her
rlm@2 278 close so she could no longer see. Although they were surrounded by blood,
rlm@2 279 Uranus found it peaceful to be there. The sun was slowly rising and their
rlm@2 280 hands were entwined lovingly. A look of calm and love over their faces,
rlm@2 281 their foreheads touching.
rlm@2 282 "Michi, lets go home." Michiru shook her head and moved as if to grab
rlm@2 283 Hotaru, tears streaming down her cheeks, but Haruka grabbed her arm tightly
rlm@2 284 and Michiru looked up to her to see tears falling.
rlm@2 285 "They did this so their children can live. And look, they're at peace.
rlm@2 286 Together." Michiru nodded slightly, it was true. Their expressions were
rlm@2 287 peaceful. They linked hands and walked back into a time hole, wiping away
rlm@2 288 their tears. Now was the hard part, telling everyone.
rlm@2 289
rlm@2 290 Tears were shed, but not one was sad. They left in peace to love each other
rlm@2 291 forever. So they would remain together. No one could find in their hearts to
rlm@2 292 be sad.
rlm@2 293
