4 Hello! Alright, first and foremost, I hate all those terrible echhi fanfics
5 about Chibi-Usa and Hotaru. (Fortunately, there aren't many!) I felt like
6 cleaning up the whole Chibi-Usa-Hotaru deal in my own way, and what I think
7 they will be. I was inspired, alright?! Comments are appreciated, as I have
8 stated in many varied terms before. Questions too!

21 "Small Lady Serenity, the time has come for me to leave this planet,"
22 Saturn said, looking eye-to-eye with the princess.
23 "Hotaru-chan..." Small Lady's eyes were brimming with tears. Ever since
24 she had returned from the Tokyo of the past, become friends with Saturn, she
25 had realised that the senshi of destruction never remained on a planet other
26 than her own for a long time. Not to mention, she had been on earth when
27 Galaxia had attacked. If Hotaru had been dormant on Saturn, she may have been
28 able to destroy earth before Galaxia stole her sailor crystal.
29 "Princess Small Lady Serenity, the world will go on without me!" Saturn
30 smiled, her eyes filled with tears too. Her comment had been kind of redundant.
31 "But...but...Hotaru-chan!!!" The pink haired princess began crying and
32 hugged the sailor senshi before her. "It's...it's only one week!!! Couldn't you
33 wait just one week?"
34 "No, my Princess. I will be there in spirit, always."
35 "I was looking forward to seeing you there..."
36 "Your coronation will be beautiful, Chibi-Usa. Just like you, I promise."
37 The two looked in each others eyes, and Small Lady stepped back quietly. Saturn
38 summoned the Glaive and disappeared in a flash of violet light.
39 "Farewell....Small Lady..." Her voice lingered behind in Small Lady's heart
40 long after the figure of her friend had faded into a dreamless oblivion.

43 A Week Later,
44
45
46 "On this most important day, I hand my crown down to Lady Serenity, next
47 in line of the noble blood of the Silver Millennium, which has rised like the
48 phoenix from its ashes on the Moon to begin once more on the planet of Earth,"
49 Neo-Queen Serenity said as she took her crown off her head, "And so forth, each
50 planet in the Millennium gives alliance to our new Queen, so that the strengths
51 and weaknesses, the gifts and the burdens, can be shared through our peace,"
52 Each senshi of the Old Court stood up. The blue haired Queen was first.
53 "On behalf of the planet of Knowledge and Water, Mercury, I assign my
54 world to the allegiance of the Earth and Moon."
55
56 Behind her, the black haired Queen of fire walked up and made her royal
57 proclamation.
58 "On behalf of the planet of War and Fire, Mars, I assign my world to the
59 allegiance of the Earth and Moon."
60
61 The next Queen, standing regally in her long green dress,
62 "On behalf of the planet of Protection and Thunder, Jupiter, I assign my
63 world to the allegiance of the Earth and Moon."
64
65 Finally, the leader of the Inner Senshi made her decree,
66 "On behalf of the planet of Love and Gold, Venus, and as leader of the
67 Inner Senshi, I assign my world to the allegiance of the Earth and Moon."
68
69 The next three Queens stood taller than those that came before, each with a
70 degree of severity unmatched in the age. The first came forward and bowed
71 before the new queen.
72 "On behalf of the planet of Flight and Sky, Uranus, I assign my world to
73 the allegiance of the Earth and Moon."
74
75 The second, in her aqua-green dress, hair trailing behind her in waves, made a
76 slow curtsy to the new queen, and held hands with the first.
77 "On behalf of the planet of Embrace and Ocean, Neptune, I assign my world
78 to the allegiance of the Earth and Moon."
79
80 Finally, came forth the last senshi. Dark green hair swirled around her, giving
81 her an aura of mystery. Her black dress trailed behind her, covering the carpet
82 placed out for the royals to walk on like a shadow from the skies. Her garnet
83 eyes stared into the queens own.
84 "On behalf of the planet of Reformation, Time, and Earth, Pluto, and as
85 acting leader of the Outer Senshi, and as last planet in this solar system, I
86 assign my world to the allegiance of the Earth and Moon." The old queen nodded
87 to each of them as they made a circle around the new queen and bowed. The queen
88 finally rose the crown above her head.
89 "These Seven planets, Earth and Moon, make our Millennium. Rise to hail
90 the new queen! I present to you, Second Queen of Crystal Tokyo, Queen Lady
91 Serenity!" All the court rose and cheered. Serenity was now to make her first
92 royal decree.
93 "Each of these planets are at peace with us as so declared today in the
94 Crystal palace. Any member of Earth has a right to be on these planets to newly
95 populate them. Only the Silent planet, Saturn, is outside the Millennium, and
96 not to be touched. Now, let peace live forever!" The queen stood triumphantly
97 as cheers rose again. Her prince bowed once to her, and the two set off to the
98 throne room. She was disappointed that Hotaru had not decided to join the
99 Millennium. No one had been able to contact her, and she hoped that her decree
100 would help keep things that way. It would be her friends wish.
101
102
103 Two Years Later,
104
105 "Helios..." Queen Lady Serenity looked deep into the blue eyes of her
106 prince. Today, today, thousands of years after they met, they would finally be
107 wed. The Asteroid senshi each were her bridesmaids, the original senshi in the
108 front row with her mother. Pallas had insisted on daisies with the roses, and
109 had made each senshi carry a small bunch of them. Vesta had argued long
110 afterwards, but Juno had said that the daisies were a nice contrast to the
111 Queen's red roses. Ceres had even gone to the trouble of making Vesta leave her
112 whip on a nearby table, so she could get it if she needed it, but wouldn't look
113 like a complete fool carrying it in the middle of a wedding ceremony. the four
114 had quarrelled for hours, but Queen Lady Serenity ignored them all, her
115 thoughts only to her and her prince finally being together, forever. Her father
116 had walked her down the aisle. In her hands, she carried the bouquet of red
117 roses, grown especially for her wedding by her father. She knew she must look
118 beautiful, her white gown shining, her odangos trailing behind her, pink and
119 airy. Her veil was almost transparent, and her golden moon ensigna was glowing.
120 Helios' earth symbol had begun giving off a soft glow as well. The priest
121 coughed
122 "And in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish," He conituned,
123 but Helios and Serenity didn't seemed to hear him. When he stopped, Helios
124 said,
125 "I do. I have always,"
126 "And do you, Queen Lady Serenity, take this man, to be..." his voice
127 continued. Now, both the bride and grooms' eyes were filled with soft tears.
128 "I do." Serenity said.
129 "Then I now pronounce you," He didn't finish, as Serenity kissed Helios
130 passionatly on the lips. The entire court of Queen Lady Serenity stood and
131 applauded. (Along with a few hollers and whistles, too.) The old queen gave the
132 woman she would always think of as Small Lady a quick embrace, as did her
133 father, resplendant in his lavender tuxedo. Helios bowed befor the pair, and he
134 and his new wife ran down the aisle. The original senshi through daisies at
135 them, filling the air with white petals. The Queen looked back for only a
136 moment, searching for the one person who had not come, wishing on the heart of
137 a wish that the familiar purple eyes would look back at her, but the only hue
138 of purple was the lavender of her fathers tuxedo. The Queen looked at her
139 husband again and smiled. This was the life she had chosen, and she should not
140 regret it.
141 "Goodbye, Hotaru...my friend."
142
143
144 Five Hundred Years into the Future,
145
146 Time passed into the waves of time, and the forces of Chaos rose once
147 more from the hearts of darkness in the seas of beginning. Earth became the
148 battle field, the final war for the blue planet had begun.
149
150 The earth ravaged with darkness under the attacks. Cosmos had led the
151 army, and had finally fallen. Her staff shone brightly over her head, still
152 giving her strength.
153 "We fight on! Chaos will not have this world!!!" The black storms sliced
154 through the fallen forests, the crumbling mountains. Grey stone flew through
155 the air and black lightning crackled over head. All that could be seen of their
156 mysterious enemy was the black rolling clouds, sometimes a set of red eyes
157 appearing from the mists, only to reappear miles away a minute later. Laughter
158 boomed above them, but Cosmos fought on, her planet staff glowing brightly in
159 her hands. In minutes, the entire army but Sailor Cosmos was broguth to its
160 knees. The storm flew past, now moving towards the crystal palace.
161
162 Inside, the queen sat on her throne, breathing heavily. Her odangos
163 trailed behind the throne, somehow looking as exhausted and weary as her. Her
164 husband had died in the first battle, and now she was alone. Alone, by the
165 final battles of her home, planet and kingdom. Cosmos, some vague power, a
166 ghost of what had once been her mother, led the armies with such bravery and
167 fierce determination that she had to wonder if the stories of Cosmos' origins
168 were true. She had heard of her from the Asteroids, gaurenteeing peace for a
169 thousand years, until Chaos was reborn. Now Chaos and Cosmos were at eternal
170 war, nothing seeming capable of defeating either. Queen Lady Serenity stood up
171 and walked to a glass case, in which, embedded in stone by the tip of its
172 blade, was a sword. It had not been used for nearly two thousand years, but
173 Venus and Neo-Queen Serenity had made sure to keep it safe. On the sword were
174 the powers and words to encase evil, and good, in a seal. As the Queen of
175 Crystal Tokyo, she had the right and power to use it. Venus had lead the first
176 line of battle, the leader of the Outer senshi long since having faded into the
177 memories of her past. The gold senzshi had raised the blade in defiance against
178 Chaos, glowing with energy. Each senshi had fallen, until the soldier of love
179 had been the only one left standing, protected by the enchanted blade. She had
180 lunged against Chaos, her golden enrgy shattering it only for a moment before
181 the darkness had consumed her. She closed her eyes, and as she cried, the
182 ginzhuishou reformed for her. Glowing from her tears, it sparkled silver before
183 her. She must win this battle. The soldiers sacrifices would not be in vain.
184 She lifted the case, the ginzhuishou glowing beside her. She would have to seal
185 Cosmos and Chaos to properly seal it. The sword glowed orange for a moment, a
186 glowing reminder of the senshi who had taken out half of Chaos' forces in a
187 glow of golden light before being struck down, dead, by that monstrosity. The
188 sword pulled easily from the stone, and was lighter than she had expected. She
189 held the blade in her right hand, the silver crystal in her left, and she
190 filled the palace with power.
191
192 Outside, The last of the armies were incinerated in the black blast.
193 Cosmos finally stood squared to Chaos.
194 "You cannot defeat me, Chaos!"
195 "Nor you me..." it said in its deep voice. Cosmos began to glow a fierce
196 white light, born of the cleansing forces of good, and Chaos mimiced the same,
197 in the forces of darkness.
198 "We shall end this battle here..."
199 "So you are the last player in this game...I thought as such." The two
200 locked, blue eye for red eye. Suddenly, a great shattering noise came from
201 behind them.
202 "What?" Said Cosmos. The crystal palace had begun radiating strams of
203 light, faster and faster till the glass like shards filled the air. Both Cosmos
204 and Chaos protected themselves from the flying daggers.
205 "Who is there..." asked Chaos. A single pillar of crystal rose from the
206 center of what had once been the palace, and on it stood the Queen. She raised
207 her sword and pointed it at Chaos.
208 "You shall not rule this world!" Shouted a voice, standing in the rubble
209 of what had once been the pintacle of Tokyo.
210 "I belive that I will," Queen Serenity's eyes began glowing, and she rose
211 the sword above her head. The ginzhuishou embedded itself into the hilt.
212 "Cosmos! Give me your power!!!" The crystal shone, and the blade of the
213 sword filled with light. Beams of light began falling from the sky, slowly at
214 first, until light fell in waterfalls. Cosmos' aura had expanded, all the
215 energy being sucked into the ginzhuishou. Each ray of light sliced at Chaos...
216 Like a thousand shooting stars, Serenity thought, to punish this evil. "For
217 love and Justice, and on behalf of the Moon, Chaos, and for my kingdom, I will
218 punish you!!!" The sword filled with light, and the sky grew brighter in a
219 final display of dazziling light. Her power spent, Serenity fell to the ground,
220 the sword clattering beside her, falling slowly, until it shattered against the
221 now blackened earth.
222
223
224 "Small Lady....Small Lady..." A voice came from above her. I have not
225 been called that in years...she thought to herself. The voice continued,
226 changing tones... "Queen. Awaken. There is work to be done, and choices to be
227 made." Serenity grogilly got up and looked at the figure before her. Tired, her
228 head hung low, she could still make out the purple boots. Please, she pleaded,
229 don't let this be a dream...don't let this be a dream.
230 "Hotaru?"
231 "Small Lady," a gloved hand helped her up and she looked into the purple
232 eys once more. She ran to hug her, but the now silent figure merely pointed to
233 the west. "Look," was all she said. The world was barren, no life, no trees.
234 Even the highest mountain range that protected Crystal Tokyo had crumbled. The
235 earth itself had become dark. If she could see it from space, Serenity would
236 realise how much the Earth had begun to look like the long forgotten Nemisis.
237 "Where are Chaos and Cosmos?"
238 "Sealed in the crust of this earth. More so, binded to this earth. Both
239 are like star seeds from this earth, Queen. And can be destroyed with it."
240 "You mean...." she looked at the soil beneath her. It had turned black.
241 "Where is everyone else?" Saturn looked away.
242 "Dead,"
243 "My mother? On the Moon?" Saturn put her hand gently to the Queen's face
244 and moved the tear that glistened there away. She nodded.
245 "No... oh heavens...no...." Saturn looked around. Black clouds filled the
246 sky once more, and the Earth rumbled in anger.
247 "Small Lady...this kingdom is no more. You have saved the universe once
248 more, but it is not permenant."
249 "You returned....your sight... the appearnce of Saturn means..."
250 "The death of the world. You remeber your lore well, Small Lady."
251 "Isn't there something we can do?"
252 "Save the world, and we release Chaos."
253 "Won't destroying it be the same?"
254 "They are binded, Small Lady. For the first time ever, they have been
255 binded. The power of the ancient sword is great. They say it was forged in the
256 seas of begings. To the death of this world, to the death of them. Yes, they
257 will grow again. But this time, it will be more... permenant. In the seas of
258 beginning, there will be new star seeds, which take Milleniums to create, and
259 these star seeds will be named Cosmos and Chaos. But for now, to the end of
260 this world, there may be peace."
261 "Tell me, Hotaru. Please. Did you know that this...this," she said,
262 pointing, "Would be the outcome?"
263 "This is every outcome, eventually. Everything happens. Every world,
264 every soul will have its trial. Most die in it. But in this, we keep Chaos at
265 bay, until the end of the universe."
266 "What choice is there to make?"
267 "You made the seal. You must choose to break it." Saturn lowered the
268 Silence Glaive to the grey shards of stone scattered across the sands of what
269 had once been Lady Serenity's kingdom. Glowing purple, they reformed into the
270 blade. Serenity picked up the sword and drove it into the earth.
271 "On this sword, by my mothers guardians and by my name and power as the
272 Queen Serenity of Tokyo, I..." She looked at Saturn. "I..." she paused, crying.
273 "How can I ask for a world to end?! How can I ask everythign to end? For me?
274 For others?"
275 "There is no other to die on this Earth, Serenity. Everyone but you is
276 already dead. As for asking for the end of the world...In this case...how can
277 you not?"
278 "I entrust this blade and earth to its final destruction of destroy the
279 heart of Chaos and Cosmos." Saturn nodded as Lady Serenity made her final
280 decision.
281
282
283 Lady Serenity had a few minutes to talk to the soldier of destuction, and
284 she had so many things to ask...to know. Too much to left unsaid.
285 "Hotaru...why didn't you come? Why could you not be there?"
286 "I love you too much to let you leave this world with Chaos on it. To
287 feel guilty for the destruction of every world in the solar system. This way, I
288 still have the power to destroy this world, to doom Chaos. If I had stayed... I
289 would not."
290 "Will I die here?"
291 "If...if you choose. Life is made of choices, Small Lady. We make them to
292 help ourselves or help others. It is our chouices inn this life that make us
293 who we are."
294 "What choice have I?"
295 "If I named your choices, they would become mine. You must choose your
296 own path, your own destiny."
297 "End this world, Hotaru. Sailor Saturn." Saturn nodded, now her eyes
298 filled with tears. She did not even say the attack, just brought down the
299 Glaive in a clean `swish,' guiding it to the earth, to the destruction. The
300 Queen stepped closer to her, and clung to her shoulders. In her palm lay the
301 ginzhuishou.
302 "Farewell, Small Lady. I...."
303 "I know. Until we meet again, Hotaru. Until we meet again."
304
305
306 Saturn.
307
308 Grey mists swirled around the planet of destruction, as barren as the
309 earth that they had left. Sometimes, a purple lightning bolt would flash above,
310 but other than that, it was silent. No life lived her, but in all the planet,
311 everywehre, you could sense the spirit of another, waiting for some event that
312 would signal her to return. After the destruction, Hotaru's spirit return to
313 its sleep. But, in the world where spirits are all we are, the floating Saturn,
314 silent, was not alone. Another waited for her awakening, when she could look
315 into her eyes, the eyes of someone who she still knew, still loved, once more.
316 She was carefully pulled into a set of arms, the small figure asleep on
317 another's lap. The two odangos trailed behind the figure, holding the smaller
318 one, watching carefully over the spirit of her friend. Knowing the unsaid words
319 that drifted between them.
320 "I know, Hotaru. I know."
