     1.7 +<AN: Well, I was inspired for this story by "I don't know what's going to 
     1.8 +happen, so i have to do what i can, right now." And this came out. Sorry sad 
     1.9 +ending >.< Very very sorry, don't read if you don't like sad endings!!!>
    1.10 +
    1.11 +
    1.12 +"Onegai,Temu-chan!" The small girl of 15 was on her knees in front of 
    1.13 +another girl 16 years of age, her hands drawn together in begging. The one 
    1.14 +standing had long black raven hair which reached her lower back, a horrified 
    1.15 +efpression on her face as she grabbed the other girl's wrist and pulled her 
    1.16 +to her feet, running around the corner into a quiet alleyway and out of 
    1.17 +prying eyes. She sighed and the slightly shorter girl with shoulder length 
    1.18 +pink hair. Her raven haired girl shook her head and looked out into the 
    1.19 +crowded street.
    1.20 +"Iie! Definatly not, no way no how! You know what Mama Taru and Mama Usagi 
    1.21 +said!" The younger girl pouted and put a hand behind her head.
    1.22 +"You're no fun, Temu-chan." Temura laughed and poked the pink haired girl's 
    1.23 +nose gently
    1.24 +"Well I wouldn't be a spoil sport either if you didn't suggest such 
    1.25 +ridiculous things." She let go the smaller girls wrist and sighed slightly, 
    1.26 +catching sight of her watch and swearing violently.
    1.27 +"Kuso! We're late, come on!" They sprinted from the alley, barely missing a 
    1.28 +passer by as they did so, running out into the street and shouting a hurried 
    1.29 +appology over their shoulders.
    1.30 +
    1.31 +Within ten or so minutes they were standing outside Hino Shrine, panting 
    1.32 +heavily and walking in. As they entered they took of their purple and pink 
    1.33 +coats, hanging them on the rack and moving down the hall to their usual 
    1.34 +room. As soon as they stepped in the door the older senshi looked up.
    1.35 +"You're late" Serenity stated, and Rei laughed
    1.36 +"You're one to talk! You only just got here yourself" Serenity pouted and 
    1.37 +laughed, putting a hand behind her head
    1.38 +"Eheh... Gomen Rei-chan." Usagi rolled her eyes at her mother, who was now 
    1.39 +coming up 80, yet her figure had hardly become old, just matured to be more 
    1.40 +feminine, her eyes now holding a wiser glow. On Serenity's right side sat 
    1.41 +Mamouru, and on her left was Usagi. Beside Usagi was Hotaru, both now gone 
    1.42 +30, yet still looking 20 or so. Temura took her place beside Hotaru, and 
    1.43 +Skaie took her place beside Temura. Next to her was Ami, then Makoto, then 
    1.44 +Rei, Minako, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna and back to Mamouru. Serenity stood 
    1.45 +from the circle and bowed a greeting.
    1.46 +"So, now we're all present, we can begin. Usagi, Hotaru, if you will?" They 
    1.47 +both nodded and rose as Serenity sat down. The two younger girls got onto 
    1.48 +one knee as their respective parents stood before them. Hotaru held out a 
    1.49 +henshin stick in both hands, holding it out for Skaie to take. It had a pink 
    1.50 +handle and a pink sphere on the top, inside was the symbol of Saturn 
    1.51 +standing out against a cresent moon. Usagi did likewise to Temura, her being 
    1.52 +exactly the same as Skaie's but with a purple sphere. The two reached out 
    1.53 +and placed their right hand on top of the sticks, bowing their heads.
    1.54 +"With these you are entrusted the power of a sailor senshi, and are bound by 
    1.55 +duty to protect this earth from all wrongdoers. Do you accept this mission?" 
    1.56 +Hotaru and Usagi spoke together.
    1.57 +"We accept this mission" echoed the two younger girls in unison. The two 
    1.58 +girls took the wands in their right hand and held it to their chests, 
    1.59 +waiting. The senshi stood and the two moved to the centre of the circle, the 
    1.60 +others moving to fill the gap. The senshi all transformed, Serenity and 
    1.61 +Mamouru transforming into the king and queen of future Crystal Tokyo. Hotaru 
    1.62 +and Usagi transformed, expecting to become their princess forms now their 
    1.63 +positions had been filled, but instead they found themselves in their usual 
    1.64 +sailor fuku's. The others also seemed slightly surprised and watched the two 
    1.65 +girls in the centre for their change. The two opened their eyes and raised 
    1.66 +their heads, chanting together.
    1.67 +"Saturn star power!" Sailor Moon and Sailor Saturn exchanged a glance, they 
    1.68 +were supposed to use different transormation phrases. One was supposed to be 
    1.69 +of the moon. They all continued to watch as their transformations revealed 
    1.70 +themselves. The two were standing in sailor fuku's like the the others. Her 
    1.71 +gloves were short, only covering her wrists, and a rim of purple followed 
    1.72 +the white. Temura's skirt was purple and she wore purple knee high boots 
    1.73 +with no fastenings, a rim of white at the top. Her bow was lilac and a star 
    1.74 +shape covered the centre of it. The body of the fuku was white like the 
    1.75 +other's and her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail held by a purple 
    1.76 +ribbon. Her tiara had a purple cresent moon on it and her earrings were 
    1.77 +plain purple studs, her chocker also plain and purple. As she came out of 
    1.78 +her transformation she called her speech.
    1.79 +"In the name of the power of silence, Sailor Saturn!" Again Saturn and Moon 
    1.80 +exchanged looks, two sailor Saturns? They continued to watch as Skaie came 
    1.81 +out of her transformation. A plain white fuku as the others, with a deep 
    1.82 +pink skirt and boots reaching her thighs, fastened at the front with laces. 
    1.83 +Her bow was baby pink and a circle covered the centre, her glowes reaches 
    1.84 +aboce her elbows and had a pink rim, studs from her ears holding a chain 
    1.85 +which lead to a cuff on the top of her ear and her choker plain pink, her 
    1.86 +hair loose and ehr tiara with a pink cresent moon on it. She too spoke her 
    1.87 +speech as she completed the transformation.
    1.88 +"In the name of the power of death and rebirth, Sailor Moon!" There was a 
    1.89 +stunned silence. As if the first transformation hadn't stunned them enough, 
    1.90 +there were two. Two Sailor Moons. Two Sailor Saturns. And the two younger 
    1.91 +ones used the same power phrase to come out with different transformations, 
    1.92 +yet despite their given name they each had only a portion of the power of 
    1.93 +Sailor Saturn. One silence, one death and rebirth. Saturn and Moon once more 
    1.94 +exchanged glances, but no one spoke. In the end it was Ami who spoke up.
    1.95 +"Welcome to the team, Sailor Saturn, Sailor Moon." They all rushed in to hug 
    1.96 +the new recruits except Mamouru, Saturn and Pluto.
    1.97 +"This is a bad omen." Pluto stated quietly so the others wouldnt overhear, 
    1.98 +and the two nodded their agreement.
    1.99 +"Why would this happen, is it because two soldiers came together of 
   1.100 +unnatural means?" Mamouru shook his head to Saturn.
   1.101 +"Regardless of means used or senshi by senshi, it shouldn't happen that 
   1.102 +there be more than one senshi of a planet. Usagi and Serenity are the only 
   1.103 +exception to the rule, but they aren't both Sailor Moon any longer. When 
   1.104 +they did coinside, it was Chibi-moon and Moon anyway. So what does the omen 
   1.105 +mean?" They both looked to Pluto and she frowned, shrugging slightly.
   1.106 +"I'm afriad I have no clue. I'll go and research into it right away." The 
   1.107 +two nodded and covered for her as she stepped back into a black hole.
   1.108 +"Where's Pluto going guys?" Serenity called over and Mamoru answered.
   1.109 +"She just went to get supplies, love, that's all." Serenity seemed fine the 
   1.110 +with the answer and went back to yacking happily with the others, but Uranus 
   1.111 +and Neptune didn't accept it and moved over to the two.
   1.112 +"What is it?" Uranus asked, and Saturn shrugged.
   1.113 +"We just don't know. It should be immpossible to have more than one senshi 
   1.114 +for a single planet. These transformations propose a bad omen which not even 
   1.115 +Pluto forsaw, so she's gone to research. In the meantime we can only wait 
   1.116 +and see what else presents itself to us.
   1.117 +Neptune and Uranus nodded, joining hands and exchanging a heartfelt glance 
   1.118 +before sitting down in front of the table and sighing. Sailor Moon moved 
   1.119 +over to Saturn and hugged her tightly, kissing her softly on the lips. 
   1.120 +Saturn returned the kiss and smiled warmly.
   1.121 +"Usa-chan. Do you realise what has happened here today?" Sailor moon nodded 
   1.122 +and shrugged, shockingly like Saturn had done.
   1.123 +"I'm well aware that there is meant to be only the one senshi yes, but 
   1.124 +regardless of what the rules were, they wouldn't have been broken for no 
   1.125 +reason, so stop worrying and be happy. Now lets start the food!" Sailor Moon 
   1.126 +drooled over the table full of cooking and Saturn laughed as they all took 
   1.127 +their place around the table, leaving a space for Pluto's return.
   1.128 +After an hour or so of scoffing food, chatting and laughing, Pluto returned 
   1.129 +through the now familiar black hole, and took her seat at the table. The 
   1.130 +remaining outer scouts and Mamoru looked up to her, and with a quick nod it 
   1.131 +was obvious there was something that had to be said. But it would have to 
   1.132 +wait, and they all continued as if nothing was wrong until the end of the 
   1.133 +party. As they were all standing to tidy up Pluto caught Rei's arm and 
   1.134 +pulled her outside the door, hushing her to quiet as she moved to object.
   1.135 +"Rei, this is important, I need a fire-reading." Rei blinked and rolled her 
   1.136 +eyes.
   1.137 +"Can't it wait, Pluto? And why are you outers still in your Fuku's? And 
   1.138 +Mamouru for that matter. Go tell them to change." Rei moved to walk back 
   1.139 +into the room, but Pluto grabbed her elbow tightly and Rei looked up to her 
   1.140 +to see urgency in her eyes. She stood for a while before nodding and sliding 
   1.141 +open the door. "Fine, after we've tidyed up and everyone's gone home." Pluto 
   1.142 +nodded and as they walked back in Saturn caught her eye, and she nodded.
   1.143 +After yet another hour or so the room was finally cleared, and people began 
   1.144 +to filter out. Saturn caught Usagi outside and kissed her neck softly from 
   1.145 +behind, wrapping her arms around ehr waist.
   1.146 +"Ne, Usa-chan, Can you take the girls home tonight? I want to hang around 
   1.147 +with Setsuna-mama, Michiru-mama and Haruka-papa a while." Usagi nodded and 
   1.148 +kissed her gently, smiling as she walked away, calling the girls to follow 
   1.149 +her. Saturn smiled to their backs and turned back into the Shrine. Minako 
   1.150 +and Rei were kissing softly behind the door and Saturn smiled before moving 
   1.151 +past. Minako and Rei broke apart and Rei waved as Minako left the shrine. 
   1.152 +Serenity took Mamouru's hand and smiled.
   1.153 +"You're staying right?" Mamouru nodded slightly and they too kissed before 
   1.154 +Serenity left, pausing only to wait for Makoto and Ami to catch up to her. 
   1.155 +Rei shut the door softly behind them and sighed.
   1.156 +"Would you guys at least come out of your fuku's? It makes me nervous. They 
   1.157 +all nodded and in seconds were returned to their usual selves, and followed 
   1.158 +Rei into the fire chamber, Setsuna at the front, then Mamoru, Hotaru, Haruka 
   1.159 +and Michiru. Rei sat down in front of the fire and glanced behind her at the 
   1.160 +others before rolling her eyes and beginning to chant quietly. After half an 
   1.161 +hour they were all still silent, not one of them having moved. They all had 
   1.162 +their heads bowed in silent contemplation of their situation when Rei 
   1.163 +screamed out and was thrown backwards into Setsuna, who caught her and held 
   1.164 +her tightly.
   1.165 +"Rei-chan? Hold yourself together! Rei-chan!" The others ran forward as 
   1.166 +Rei's wide eyes closed, uttering a single word.
   1.167 +"Abunai..." Setsuna yelled over her shoulder to whoever was closest to the 
   1.168 +door.
   1.169 +"Someone call Ami here now!"
   1.170 +
   1.171 +"We don't know, there was silence, then she screamed and fell back, said 
   1.172 +"Abunai" and left..." Hotaru was explaining and Ami nodded slightly, taking 
   1.173 +Rei's pulse and sighing to find it average.
   1.174 +"This is a good sign. She appears to be healthy, maybe she just pushed 
   1.175 +herself too hard."
   1.176 +"Or maybe she was looking at something she wasn't supposed to see." Setsuna 
   1.177 +suggested, Hotaru agreed, nodding slightly.
   1.178 +"But how do we find out what it was?" Setsuna shrugged and they all sighed 
   1.179 +together, Mamouru standing up.
   1.180 +"We should call a meeting. Let the other girls know." They all nodded and 
   1.181 +within a few minutes, and with courtesy of the communicators, all the senshi 
   1.182 +were gathered at the Shrine. Temura and Skaie had come too, and were looking 
   1.183 +low in spirit as they took their place at the table, two empty chairs where 
   1.184 +Rei and Minako should be sitting. Mina was leaning over Rei and tending to 
   1.185 +her, putting a damp cloth on her forehead.
   1.186 +"What can do Minna?" Serenity came out it and none of them had an answer.
   1.187 +"All we know it there's a reason to be careful, aside from that what else is 
   1.188 +there to know? It's impossible to tell from one word." Usagi was off on a 
   1.189 +tangent and everyone was beginning to tone her out when Hotaru spoke over 
   1.190 +her.
   1.191 +"Temura, Skaie, please follow me?" The two nodded and Hotaru took Usagi's 
   1.192 +hand, leading her to the fire chamber. The others followed behind the four. 
   1.193 +As they entered the fire was burning as always, and as Hotaru and Usagi 
   1.194 +stepped forward it remained calm, but as they each held their hands out to 
   1.195 +the two girls and they stepped forward, it spat and spewed sparks over the 
   1.196 +floor by their feet. The two younger girls stepped back and it quieted once 
   1.197 +more. Hotaru turned to the others, taking Usagi's hand once more.
   1.198 +"You two seem an anomalie." They both looked at each other and Hotaru 
   1.199 +proceeded to shrug, she knew no more or less than that. They didn't belong.
   1.200 +Suddenly the fire whipped up and hit the ceiling before reducing to be 
   1.201 +normal size, though spiralling around dangerously as if a whirl pool of 
   1.202 +flame. The two younger girls stepped further back but Usagi and Hotaru 
   1.203 +stayed where they were.
   1.204 +"Out the way minna!" Minako called and the other parted from the door. Rei 
   1.205 +was leaning on Minako's shoulders, Mina supporting her weight steadily as 
   1.206 +they stepped forward.
   1.207 +"Out!" Rei shouted to the two younger girls, then to the rest. "Get out!" 
   1.208 +They all stood silent for a second before a heavy wind blew from no where, 
   1.209 +spiralling the flames out of control. They lashed at the walls and ceiling, 
   1.210 +yet the shrine didn't seem to burn at all. The senshi braced themselves 
   1.211 +against the wind and flames, closing their eyes. The flames whipped through 
   1.212 +them all, not touching one before rearing together above them and heading 
   1.213 +straight down for Hotaru and Usagi. Hotaru had her eyes open and saw it 
   1.214 +coming, diving forward and grabbing Usagi around the waist, rolling out of 
   1.215 +hrams way. She looked up to see the flames begginning again, and transformed 
   1.216 +in an instant, feeling Usagi do the same beneath her. With a flick of her 
   1.217 +wrist the silence glaive appeared just in time, allowing her to part the 
   1.218 +flames away to keep them safe. Saturn grimaced slightly, her hands smoking 
   1.219 +painfully. She took a few deep breaths and stood, grabbing Sailor Moon's 
   1.220 +hand and running from the building, out into the courtyard. Skaie and Temura 
   1.221 +followed them, transforming as they went. This time Sailor Saturn had a 
   1.222 +small purple wand in her hand, a plain purple handle with the frame of a 
   1.223 +heart, no centre at all. Sailor Moon also had a weapon, but instead of a 
   1.224 +wand she held a staff like Sailor Saturn's Silence Glaive, only with a full 
   1.225 +circle blade with the centre missing.
   1.226 +"We've distorted the flow of time!" Saturn shouted over the noise of the 
   1.227 +increasing wind. The others had also transformed and were runing out into 
   1.228 +the courtyard.
   1.229 +"What the hell are we fighting?" Sailor Jupiter hollared, but no one had an 
   1.230 +answer. The wind began to blow stonger and Saturn and Moon joined hands, 
   1.231 +looking over to their daughters. If only this had never happened. Suddenly a 
   1.232 +crack appeared in the earth between Saturn and Moon and Sailor Moon slipped 
   1.233 +down, Saturn grabbing her wrist tightly.
   1.234 +"Clutz!" Sailor Moon heard Saturn joke over the roar of the wind and laughed 
   1.235 +slightly, but felt Saturn's grip weaken and looked up worriedly. Saturn's 
   1.236 +expression was one of pain, and Sailor Moon realised the burns over her 
   1.237 +gloved hands.
   1.238 +"Gomen ne Saturn!" Saturn shook her head and yanked hard on her arm, pulling 
   1.239 +Sailor Moon to safety. They sat together for a second to regain their breath 
   1.240 +as the fire broke out of the shrine, whirring through the halls and doors in 
   1.241 +a long spiral to head towards Saturn and Moon. They both jumped to their 
   1.242 +feet and Saturn began to spin her glaive, but Sailor Moon stopped her, 
   1.243 +grabbing her wrists. "If you do that. You'll destroy your hands!" Saturn 
   1.244 +shrugged her off and began again.
   1.245 +"I see no alternative!" Suddenly there was a cry from across the clearing.
   1.246 +"Death star!" A purple flash of light illuminated the clearing as Sailor 
   1.247 +Saturn fired off her attack, the end of her staff disattatching to become a 
   1.248 +ball of purple light, which smashed into the fire spiral and dissipated it. 
   1.249 +As the attack hit the top of the staff returned to its rightful place. They 
   1.250 +all watched Sailor Saturn surprised and then fell to their knees as the 
   1.251 +ground began to shake beneath them.
   1.252 +"I figured it out!" Pluto shouted across the yard. "The disruption of the 
   1.253 +balance of nature! Too many sailors! It's unbalanced! We're fighting nature! 
   1.254 +The elements!" A look of realisation lingered over the senshi and Saturn and 
   1.255 +Moon shared a serious look before Saturn opened up a portal, taking Moon's 
   1.256 +hand and jumping into it, sealing it behind them. As soon as they left the 
   1.257 +air became still and the ground ceased shaking, everything becoming eerily 
   1.258 +quiet. Silence reigned over the senshi also, as they watched the two younger 
   1.259 +girls get their feet. It dawned on them that they had to go and find the two 
   1.260 +women, and immediatly they all jumped into action. They must have gone 
   1.261 +somewhere.
   1.262 +
   1.263 +"Hotaru-chan?" Hotaru looked to the young women sitting beside her on the 
   1.264 +top of a hill that overlooked the moon's ruins.
   1.265 +"Hai, Usagi-chan?" Usagi wrapped her arms around Hotaru's waist and burryed 
   1.266 +her head in her shirt.
   1.267 +"I'm scared..." Hotaru hushed her softly and rubbed her hair with her hand.
   1.268 +"It's ok, Usagi-chan. I'll never leave your side. SO you never have anything 
   1.269 +to fear." Hotaru held Usagi closer as she cried, tears falling down her own 
   1.270 +cheeks as well. "Are you ready?" Usagi nodded gently and closed her eyes as 
   1.271 +Hotaru summoned her Glaive, pulling Usagi into a hug with one hand and 
   1.272 +kissing her gently. Usagi took her hand in her own and their fingers 
   1.273 +entwined as Hotaru positioned the glaive behind Usagi's heart, pushing it 
   1.274 +through hard, piercing through them both and then pulling out, dropping it 
   1.275 +and gripping Usagi tightly. They fell side by side in silence, and shared a 
   1.276 +deep kiss as their eyes closed, passing into the flow of death and rebirth 
   1.277 +once again.
   1.278 +
   1.279 +Uranus and Neptune appeared at the bottom of the hill and sprinted to the 
   1.280 +top. Michiru gasped loudly and Uranus grabbed her shoulders, pulling her 
   1.281 +close so she could no longer see. Although they were surrounded by blood, 
   1.282 +Uranus found it peaceful to be there. The sun was slowly rising and their 
   1.283 +hands were entwined lovingly. A look of calm and love over their faces, 
   1.284 +their foreheads touching.
   1.285 +"Michi, lets go home." Michiru shook her head and moved as if to grab 
   1.286 +Hotaru, tears streaming down her cheeks, but Haruka grabbed her arm tightly 
   1.287 +and Michiru looked up to her to see tears falling.
   1.288 +"They did this so their children can live. And look, they're at peace. 
   1.289 +Together." Michiru nodded slightly, it was true. Their expressions were 
   1.290 +peaceful. They linked hands and walked back into a time hole, wiping away 
   1.291 +their tears. Now was the hard part, telling everyone.
   1.292 +
   1.293 +Tears were shed, but not one was sad. They left in peace to love each other 
   1.294 +forever. So they would remain together. No one could find in their hearts to 
   1.295 +be sad.
   1.296 +
