Chapter 1

Arrival In Cheyenne

I've been in Cheyenne for 5 years now, Serena thought to herself. Daily, she tries to forget what happened to her to make her decide to leave Tokyo. She knows that she doesn't always succeed in pushing the memories to the back of her mind, but every so often, she succeeds. She finally found what she thought she wanted. She lived in Cheyenne with a roommate, they had their own apartment, and she had a job at a cafe. She was finally proving that she can be responsible, that she can keep a job, that she can take care of herself, and that she can act like an adult.

Now, five years later, she's sitting in her apartment trying to keep the memories back once more, when her roommate walks in. She realizes that she can't do that because Jessica is a very nosy roommate. Every day, for about 3 years, Jessica asked why she left Tokyo. She always gets by with telling Jessica that it's a boring story. After some years, Jessica stops asking, figuring that she'll find out when she should.

One day when Jessica walks into the apartment, she realizes that Serena is different, more mature, but also more reserved. She realized that Serena was trying to shut off her emotions, or at least, trying to block them. She's not sure what happened to her roommate to make her more reserved, but she knows enough not to ask. She doesn't want Serena to treat her like a child and tell her that it's another thing that she wouldn't understand. The only thing that she wouldn't understand is if Serena came right out and told her that she was a sailor scout. Jessica knew that it wasn't possible for Serena to be a sailor scout. Jessica looked at the clock then, and saw what time it was. Serena was going to be late for work. "Serena, you might want to get ready for work otherwise you'll be late." Jessica told her. "Make sure that you say hi to everyone for me, and please say hi to Montag for my mom."

Just then, Serena looked at the clock, and as she did, her alarm went off. "Oh my gosh, I'm gonna be late!! Jessica, why didn't you tell me that I was going to be late?" Serena exclaimed. No, she thought, I will not be late, I've changed from that immature 18 year old that was told to leave. As she was thinking that, she thought of the events that had led her to leaving Tokyo without her family, and a month early. She was trying to push them to the back of her mind, but wasn't successful. So, she just gave up fighting the memories this once, and let them surface. Before she could fully get them in her mind, she vowed to herself that she would not cry about it this time, she had blocked her emotions for the time being, but wasn't sure how long it would last.

"Serena, we need your help here now!!", Sailor Mercury yelled. "I'm on my way as soon as I can be", Serena said. What Serena didn't know was that it was all a set-up by the Nega-Crystal headquarters. Serena transformed into Sailor Moon in an alley, then ran to help her friends. Along the way, Brandon appeared. "MOON TIARA MAGIC!" Serena yelled. Brandon just laughed and stopped her tiara with his hand. As Serena was powering up to attack again, Brandon pulls out a dagger and stabs her in the shoulder. She lost blood, but not power, so she begins powering up once more. Again, Brandon stabs her, but in her other shoulder. She takes out her heart sceptor, but Brandon just laughs and then disappears the same way he appeared. She didn't give him or her wounds a second thought as she continued running to help her friends. When she got there though, she noticed the whole place destroyed, and the scouts barely able to defeat the Nega-Crystal minions. When the minions saw Sailor Moon though, they ran back to the Nega-Crystal headquarters. "Serena, why thank you so much for finally showing up," Char, Sailor Mars, said sarcastically. "Where were you when we really needed you?" Sailor Mercury, Laura, asked. "I'm sorry I'm late guys, but I-"

She was cut off in midsentence by Char. "We don't want to hear your excuses. The last time you were late, you couldn't find something, and you said that it would be the last time you were late, false alarm or not." "But, I'm trying to tell you why-" Once again, she was cut off, but this time, by Laura. "We're tired of hearing your excuses Serena. Why can't you ever be on time like a good leader?" Everyone was surprised by her saying that, because she's usually a meek, quiet, shy, and weak person. "I was going to be on time today. I swear it. I'm trying to explain why I was late, but you won't listen." Serena said. "Why don't you just leave? You're not a good leader if you can't be on time." Sailor Venus, Angel, said. Darien followed what she said by saying, "Yeah, why don't you just leave? You're not a good leader and you're not wanted here." "Alright, I'll leave." Serena said.

With that, she turned and with her back straight, started walking away only to be stopped by Darien blocking her path after hearing everyone gasp at seeing her wounds. "Serena, are you okay?" Darien asked with concern in his voice, his earlier anger gone when he saw her wounds. Without much emotion, she replied, "Yes, I'm fine. Now, kindly move so that I can leave like you guys told me to since I'm such a bad leader." Everyone was surprised at the emotion, or lack of emotion, in her reply. Although, no one was more surprised than Darien himself. Serena had never spoken to him with that tone in her voice before. Darien stubbornly refused to move, so Serena had to fly just to get out of the fighting zone.

That night, after she had wrapped her wounds, telling Luna that she was leaving like the group told her to. Luna tried to talk her out of it, but she couldn't, so she talked Serena into taking her with. Writing a note to her parents telling them that she was leaving, she left for the airport after taking her ticket. She went and got her ticket changed to an earlier date, which was that same day and they had to leave instantly. No one knew where she went, but they hoped that she would be okay.

Sadly, she missed her friends and realized that she could never go back. Serena realized that her friends and Darien were right. She was a bad leader, but she had been stopped on the way to the fight by a Nega-Crystal general named Brandon, had gotten stabbed twice, and could have died. No one realized that she had tried to get to them on time because they wouldn't let her explain. Oh well, too late for them to find out exactly how hard I had tried to get there on time to help them.

With her done thinking, she realized that she had been at work for half of her shift and had taken orders, gave them to the correct people, without even thinking about it. She also realized that the guy she had seen in the park was there, watching her every move. She hadn't served him because he didn't want anything, so she tried again. "Hi. Would you like anything to eat or drink, sir?" Serena asked. "Nothing to eat, but could you please bring me a cup of tea?" He replied politely. "Of course, sir. What kind of tea would you like? We have green and herbal. Sorry that it's such a limited choice right now, but a lot of people have been wanting tea." "It's no problem. I really only drink one kind of tea anyway. I'll take green tea, thank you." He replied. Again, and for the rest of her shift, she was thinking about what had made her leave Tokyo.

What Serena didn't know though was that Mercury had taken her place with Darien, but only for about a week. Then, she was taken by Nega-Crystal and was then called Evil Mercury. At first, they had to brainwash her, but then after that wore off, she realized that she liked Nega-Crystal, although, only she knew that if Serena were to show up again, she would definitely be on the Scouts' side again. She would also do her best to stay on their side, unless she was captured once more.

Serena was once again thinking about Tokyo, but it was different this time. She was getting visions of the past, from the Crystal Millenium, then getting visions of Silver Tokyo. I wonder what these visions mean. Then, she got an entirely different kind of vision. She was still in the vision, but someone else was included, and it was someone she didn't know, or so she thought. I can't stand getting these visions. I don't know what they mean. Someone, please help me understand these visions. "Serena, surely you haven't forgotten everything that happened on the Moon Kingdom during the Crystal Millenium." "What? Who is that?" "It is me, Sailor Pluto. You asked for help on understanding the visions that you're getting, and I'm going to help you." "Where are you? I can't see you. How are you talking to me? I think I'm going crazy. I'm talking to myself. How nice."

"Oh, no Serena. You aren't going crazy. I'm talking to you telepathically. We don't need to speak out loud and be seen just to have a conversation. At least, I don't." Sailor Pluto replied to what she's saying. "Why am I getting these visions? I don't understand what they mean. Please, just tell me why I'm getting them." Serena begged. "You need to understand your past in order to understand your future." "Why must I understand my past though? I thought I knew everything that I could know about the Crystal Millenium." Serena said. "Perhaps I should try to say this differently. You need to meet 4 people from the past, then you shall understand the future. You shall understand a lot more of your past in the morning. You shall not meet all 4 guardians at once, for that would be too painful for you." Sailor Pluto paused for a breath.

"You shall first meet the one that you were excellent friends with. You thought you loved him, but you were to marry a prince from Earth, whom you truly loved but didn't know at the time. You asked your mother to change the agreement between you and the Earth prince, so she did, but she did not let you marry the guardian. But there is only one thing wrong with who you are to meet. I shouldn't be letting you hear all of this, but you might not be so surprised by it. The guardian you are to leave with tomorrow, and whom you will meet tonight, once worked for Nega-Crystal. He still has a little nega energy in him, the goodness in his heart is beating the nega energy, but the nega energy is going to win eventually." Pluto revealed to her. "Then, why am I to go with him? When did he become a part of Nega-Crystal? Why is he going to help me if Nega-Crystal is my enemy?" Serena asked a mile a minute. "That I cannot reveal to you. I am truly sorry Serena. I have already revealed too much as it is. I must go now. I will be with you again when you ask for help to understand the visions you will have tonight. Good-bye for now Serena." Pluto said. With that, she disappeared from Serena's mind.

I don't understand what she means. Who am I going to meet? Did I truly love him? Will he become part of Nega-Crystal again? I honestly don't know what's going to happen to me, and I'm so scared. Was I to marry Darien, only to realize that I love someone else? If that's true, then why do I feel closer to Darien? Why am I having visions that Darien is going to give me half of a crystal, then sacrifice himself? Why do I feel sad at the thought of Darien sacrificing himself if I love one of my guardians? I don't think I'm ready for these visions, but I must see them. Why does no one understand that I might want more than 5 years to myself? I want at least 5 more, but I can't have what I want.

"Sailor Pluto, are you there? I need to ask one more thing that is very important to me. Please answer this last question I have tonight." Serena silently begged. "I am here once again Serena. What is it you need to know?" "What about the other guardians? Were they once part of Nega-Crystal? Are they part of Nega-Crystal right now? I need to know if I'm going to be safe when I see Darien. Did I just say Darien?" Serena once again talked a mile a minute. "Calm down Serena. None of the other guardians were part of Nega-Crystal, nor are they now. Yes, you did say Darien. You are beginning to figure out your future by yourself. You have begun to discover feelings everyone thought were lost. You must know things before you see your guardian. You must realize that Laura is part of Nega-Crystal now, but only she knows that once Sailor Moon returns, will she join the scouts and stay there for as long as she can. She does not want to be in Nega-Crystal, but she needs a reason to go back to the scouts, and you are that reason." She paused for a breath.

"Laura also went out with Darien for a week, but he decided that it wouldn't work between them. After that, she was so hurt that she was resenting the Sailor Scouts, Darien, and any other law-abiding people. She only resented them for a week, then she was happy once again because she met someone she loves, only she doesn't realize it. After a week of that, she went to Nega-Crystal for the first, and we hope, the only time. I will give you two gifts that will be most helpful to you. I will give you the power to talk to people as I talk to them. Now, I must say no more. I must go once more. If you ever need help, you know what to do. Talk to you again sometime Serena." Pluto said, then was once again, gone. Before she left though, she had given Serena two of her new powers.

Serena didn't even realize that she had gotten to her apartment, but she did notice that someone was waiting for her. At that time, all she got was a note from him, he got a nod from her, and he was gone again. She longed to call after him, but settled on following him to see where he would go. Little did she know that she was being followed by the guardian. Serena wanted to know about her past so bad that she didn't even think about it when she didn't receive any memories from seeing him, but only received negative energy from him. By the time she really thought about it, it was too late for her to do anything.

She didn't know what to do, until she heard something behind her. "IMPERIAL MOON GUARDIAN POWER!" At that time, she figured out what to do, but she didn't get a chance to transform because the monster was destroyed by the time she got over the shock. Only then did she notice that she had finally met her guardian. "Excuse me, but do I know you?" She asked. "Well, of course you know me. I am one of your guardians. My name is Robert. I am here to protect you until I die, princess. I will do my very best to keep you safe." After that, he said under his breath, "Also, to get you to go over to the Nega-Crystal side."

Robert and Serena talked for a few hours and then went their seperate ways. They talked about everything that they could. Serena wasn't to regain some memories until they were leaving to meet the other guardians. The only way possible for her to regain all memories is to meet all 4 guardians. She will be on her way home, and sleeping in an apartment, when she will regain her memories of Robert and what he did to her. The day after, in an abandoned building, she'll regain her memories of the other guardians. It will happen over night, she will remember the other guardians the next day. Robert thought it would be important for her to know all of this.

Robert knew that he would have to wait until the perfect time to use the crystal. He knew that he was mostly good, but the evil part of him just wanted to make the scouts pay for what they did to his queen. They also had to pay for Queen Serenity beating the queen during the Crystal Millenium. He had been trying to get rid of the evil for about 2 years, but it always came back. He didn't understand it. He wanted the evil gone for good.

I don't understand why I want to hurt the princess. I need help, but I don't know who to turn to. I'd ask Serena to help me, but I don't know what good it'll do. Unless she has the power to heal me, she can't help me. "But, I can help you Robert. I can heal you. I know how to, all you have to do is believe in me and ask me for help. All it'll take is you to say that you believe, and that you need help." Robert gasped as he heard Serena's voice in his mind. He thought he was going crazy. "You're not going crazy. I was given a power by Sailor Pluto to talk to you telepathically. I'm not sure how I got this power, but whenever Sailor Pluto can't do anything to help someone, I'm the only one that can hear someone asking or thinking about asking for help. You know what you must do. Good-bye for now Robert." Serena softly told him. "I need your help Princess Serenity. Please, help me. Heal me. I believe that you can heal me." Robert thought. "I will heal you now. You will be healed by morning. Now, go to sleep so that this may work." Serena replied to his plea.

During the night, when Serena knew he would be asleep, she healed him. Robert was dreaming, or he thought that Sailor Moon was sending him visions of her healing him. "I wonder when she's going to heal me. When are you going to heal me, Sailor Moon?" He dreamt he was saying."I shall heal you now. MOON HEALING ACTIVATION!Tell me how you feel tomorrow. Good-bye for now, good-night." And with that, she left his dreams.

The next day brought a Nega-Crystal monster to Cheyenne. Serena was extremely mad that she had to be Eternal Sailor Moon again, but she transformed. This wasn't like old times though. She turned into Super Eternal Sailor Moon. She knew she could be Super Sailor Moon and Eternal Sailor Moon, but not Super Eternal Sailor Moon. She figured out that she would be Super Eternal Sailor Moon from now on, she just didn't realize that there was one more transformation for her to get, then one more transformation for her to use whenever she was in great trouble. After she fought the Nega-Crystal monster, she realized that she knew how to beat the monsters without a computer read-out from Laura's mini-data visor computer. She also realized that she knew about the monster even before she had to transform, she was better in school, she could cook better, she didn't eat as much, she was better at dealing with love, she was braver, tougher, and she was also stronger than anyone else on the Scout or Knight team. In fact, even the guardians powers were minimal to hers.

"So, how do you feel Guardian?" Super Eternal Sailor Moon asked. "I did heal you last night, while you were sleeping." He looked surprised at the fact that she knew he wasn't sure if he had actually been healed or not. "I feel fine. I feel happier, like there's no Nega-energy in me." He knew that was sort of a lie, because there was still a little Nega-energy in him, but that couldn't be helped. She knew he was lying, but she had hoped to heal him fully. "Well, now I have an idea. I'm going to try to heal you from my princess form tonight, instead of my Sailor Moon form." "I don't think you should do that. You could kill yourself giving your energy to heal me. Please, if you insist upon doing this, be careful and make sure that you have someone help you to give energy to the crystal." He replied.

Not wanting to disturb her further with his doubts, he decided to just think about what could go wrong if he was taken by the Nega-Crystal leaders. "Don't worry about if you get taken by the Nega-Crystal leaders. I shall help to heal you. I know that I cannot count on my acquaintances from Tokyo helping me out, so I shall do this by myself. Don't worry about if I'll have enough energy, because I shall draw my power from the Earth and the Moon." Serena told him."Why won't your friends help you? Am I able to hear what you're thinking, just like you can hear what I'm thinking? All I'd like to do is help you get over the hurt I see in your eyes when you can't cover it. I just don't want you to get hurt, because I think I love you. I remember the past. Meaning that I know who you thought you loved and who you truly loved." "Oh, dear. Well, I can't have you knowing that. I'll have to make sure that you forget that. To answer your questions, I cannot tell you what happened. No, you cannot hear what I'm thinking unless I want you to. So, at least I'm safe from you finding out what happened, whenever I think about it."

Later that night Robert tried to talk to Sailor Pluto, but it didn't work. "Sailor Pluto, I need to ask you a question. Will you please appear or whatever it is that you do to answer me? Robert asked. "Of course, I shall answer any questions you have to the best of my knowledge." Sailor Pluto replied. "I'd like to know what happened to make Serena have sadness in her eyes. She refuses to tell me what happened, so I shall ask you because I don't think that it shall affect you as much, or it might not affect you at all." Robert said. "I'm sorry, but I cannot tell you. Serena has sworn me to secrecy from telling anyone. I'd like to find out how you know who Serena thought she loved and whom she truly did love in her past life. Wait a second. I don't think you do know about that. She never told anyone her feelings until it was too late. When she told one of her guardians that she loved him, it was too late. He loved another and was engaged to the Princess of Mars. You've met the other guardians, correct? If you have, you shall know in time that the Guardian of Mars is going to be engaged to Princess Mars, but not until after her first marriage." She paused for a breath.

"I don't think anyone but the princesses and their parents know about that. I can tell you more of your past though. It shall help you figure out whom Serena thought she loved. The first marriage to Princess Mars was between her and you. You loved Princess Mars with a passion, but after the marriage, you found out that Serena was the one you truly loved. By that time, Serena had realized that she loved someone else and that person truly loved her." "You're telling me that Serena thinks she loves me? Can you tell me whom she truly loves? I would like to know so that I may tell her right away. What did I do to make her realize that she truly loved another?" Robert asked. "You told her that you would never stop loving her while at the same time having an affair with Princess Mars. You then asked Princess Mars to marry you. Princess Mars knew nothing about you seeing Serena as well, and was therefore surprised when Serena confronted her about it. That was when Princess Mars told you that she never wanted to see you again and that was when you realized that you truly loved Serena. Now, I must go. I should have sent this to you in a dream, but then you would have known who Princess Mars was and that can't happen yet. I shall speak to you again when you need more help. Please, make sure that you don't kill the Princess like you're thinking of doing. I know that the darkness is going to take over again, but what Serena doesn't know is that her friends will help to get you back. Good-bye Robert." And with that, she left.

Around midnight, Robert got tired and went to bed. As he was still concious, he was thinking and hopefully telling the Princess not to try healing him yet. "But Robert, why shouldn't I? I'd like to think that you'd want to be healed." Serena exclaimed. "No, lets wait until we get back to Tokyo. I just don't want your healings to be wasted. Therefore, we shall wait to do anything more until we arrive in Tokyo. I have a question Princess. Do you love me?" "Well, yes. I believe I love you. As a friend, of course I love you. And I believe I possibly love you even more than that. I'd like you to know that no matter what happens, I'll always be there for you. As I was for my acquaintances in Tokyo."

"Why, Princess, do I sense anger and some sadness? What has put the sadness into your eyes, voice, and thoughts? What put the anger in your voice and thoughts? Why will you not tell me what happened to make you like this? Please, just tell me. I'd like to help anyway that I can." "I'm sorry, I cannot tell you. As you've already heard, Pluto will not tell you. I don't need anyone else to know about my past except for those involved, Sailor Pluto, and the Nega-Crystal leaders. I must go now if we are to start on our journey to Tokyo. Good-bye Robert." And with that, she was gone, leaving him confused as Pluto had done. Perhaps he had gone too far, but no one in Nega-Crystal would tell him what was going on. They were all telling him that he would find out once the time was right.

Meanwhile, in her own apartment, Serena was trying to figure out why she shouldn't heal Robert. She decided to talk to Sailor Pluto about Robert. "Sailor Pluto, are you there? I'd like to talk to you." Serena said. "I am here. What is it you'd like to know? I shall tell you anything I can." "I'd like to know why Robert doesn't want me to heal him from my princess form. Instead of weakening me, it should make me stronger. Will Nega-Crystal try to get him back? Why does he want me in Nega-Crystal?" She knew she was talking fast, but she couldn't help it. She had to know. "Why is it that whenever I think I love someone, they turn out to have been in Nega-Crystal for a time? I know I love Darien, but I also love Robert. I think that Robert will be my true love. Can you tell me if we are to be together?"

Sailor Pluto thought about what she should tell Serena, then decided to tell her why Robert doesn't want to be healed and why he wants to take her to Nega-Crystal. "I can only tell you a few things. Robert doesn't want to be healed because he knows that he'll go back to Nega-Crystal. He wants you to go to Nega-Crystal because they will be unbeatable once you are on their side. Serena, do you know who is the leader of Nega-Crystal?" Sailor Pluto asked. "No, should I? Do you? If you do, please tell me what we will be up against. Please, can you tell me if my turning into Super Eternal Sailor Moon will be my last transformation?" Serena had so many things she wanted to know, but only asked about those 3.

"I can tell you that the leader is someone you would have never suspected to be on that side. Whenever you need help, you will go to one of your many ultimate forms. You can merge with any of the Sailor Scouts and you shall have their power as well as yours." "Can I also merge with a guardian or with Darien and have their powers as well?" "You can merge with whomever you want to, including Luna, Artemis, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and myself. Does that give you enough information about what I can tell you?" "Yes, of course Sailor Pluto. I shall talk to you later. I have some thinking to take care of. Good-bye." "Good-bye Serena."

She spent the rest of the night thinking of what to do. I'm not sure if I should go with Robert anymore. What should I do? The cry-baby Serena would have stayed with Darien and the scouts, no matter what they said. But, I've put up with it for 5 years. I had finally gotten tired of everyone telling me to grow up, be on time more often, and to study more. Mainly, Char and her family. Most of the time, she could handle it, but this last time she had gotten pushed far enough. They wouldn't even listen to what she had tried to say. She was scared to go back because she had gotten pregnant right before she left. She had a wonderful little girl. Perhaps I should go back with him, I could take Hotaru with me. That's it. I've made up my mind, I'll go back to Tokyo with Robert and my little girl. I just hope I'm not making a mistake in going back to them and hearing what they have to say to me. If anyone has a right to say anything to criticize how someone is acting, I have the right to tell them that they are the immature ones.

The next morning, Serena told Jessica what was happening. Jessica was surprised when she heard that Serena was leaving with Robert. She didn't tell Serena that she would have liked to be with Robert for a while. So, when Robert came to pick Serena up, Jessica told him that she was out getting a few things, and wouldn't be home for a while. Which was partly true. She started asking him questions about how old he was, if he had a girlfriend, a wife, a fiancee, where he lived, if he was true to the person he was seeing. In return, she told him all about herself. Her past relationships, how old she was, and much more. "Why are you telling me all this, Jessica?" Robert asked once she had paused to let him understand all the information she had just told him.

"Well, I'm telling you because I'd like to be with you for a while. Can't you just put off leaving for just a few days? I'd really like to see how far our relationship can go." Jessica replied. "Jessica! What do you think you are doing? There is no way that I want to stay here just so that you can see how far a relationship can go with a friend of mine. I'm sorry you have to find out this way, but you need to understand why you can't pursue a relationship with him." Serena told her calmly. "I know why I can't pursue a relationship with your 'friend'. It's because you want to yourself. I don't even want to hear your reasons, but I'm still going to go after him and you can't stop me. Why do you think every single boyfriend you've ever had has stopped coming over? That's right." She said as realization dawned on Serena's face. "It was all because of me. I liked every single person you brought home, and I wanted them all. But this one, this one I'll keep instead of letting him go. Get out of here now Serena. We have something to do. Leave."

"I don't think so Jessica. Serena's not going anywhere without me." Robert was finally able to cut in. "Oh, no. Don't you dare try to stop me from having you. There's something about me that you don't know. I have the power to turn someone against another person. There's no way that you'll leave with her unless I'm done with you. How are you going to deal with that?" At that moment, the door opened up to show an extremely tired man. "Oh dear. What am I going to do about him Robert? I've got to help him." Serena said, almost in tears. "Well now, you can have Robert back, I want him." Jessica said evilly. "No! There's no way that you're going to get the man I love. I will do anything I have to, even kill you, just to stop you. I have a few tricks to show you Jessica." Serena said angrily. Meanwhile, Jessica had put Darien under her spell, and he was trying to stand up after the beating he had just taken. Serena saw this, took out her crystal, and turned into a princess. Jessica watched this all in amazement.

"No Jessica, you will not have him. I will see to it personally that you are punished for everything you've ever done to hurt anyone. Do you even know who I am? Before I tell you, I've got someone to heal. Moon Healing Activation! Please let this work." As Serena had hoped, it was working. The crystal was healing Darien. "Serena, my princess, is that you? I've come to see if you'll help me. The girls are in trouble and we need Sailor Moon, with all of her power. I have something to give you, but we must get away from this girl before she tries anything on me again." Darien said tiredly. "Of course, my prince. I shall do anything you ask, if it will keep you away from her. I'm taking care of her now." Jessica was wondering why they were talking as if they have known each other for longer than they have been alive.

"What are you going to do? I'm stronger than you, plus I don't think you'll want to ruin your dress. I also have something you don't. I have powers that are stronger than the sailor scouts put together. I'll show you my powers. Where are the sailor scouts? I have the powers of Nega-Crystal on my side, which is stronger than those stupid sailor scouts. Why don't you just give up now?" Jessica said. "Princess, I was going to wait to give this to you. Once you have this, you shall regain all of your memories. Including what your guardian did to you, to help you realize whom you truly love. Do you want to remember all of that? Of course, with what you have, you cannot defeat her. She is drawing power from one of the many dark crystals. After that power is gone, she'll move onto the next one, until there are no more left. Please, take this so that you can defeat her." "Of course I'll take the crystal. I just hope that I'll be able to handle the memories. Jessica, wait for just one moment to do anything."

"Sailor Pluto, are you there? I need a favor from you. That is, if you can do this one thing for me." "Serena, what are you doing?" "Darien? How did you get included in this? The only way that you could hear my thoughts was if you and I were meant to be together. Let me just do this one thing Darien. I must ask Sailor Pluto if she is able to do this." Serena told him. "Of course my princess. I will be able to hear this though." "I am here Serena. What is it you'd like me to try to do for you?" Sailor Pluto calmly asked, as if it was an ordinary thing for Darien to be able to hear them talking. "I'd like you to try to block my memories from returning until after I battle with Jessica. I would be vulnerable to her, and so would Darien and Robert. I almost forgot about Robert. Aren't I nice?" Serena said to her. "Of course I can hold the memories back for you, but I'll only be able to do so until you are done with Jessica. If I were you Serena, I'd merge with Darien to beat her. Darien, do you know of this?" Sailor Pluto asked. "Yes, I know of it. I've had dreams of it happening on this very day. We need to get back to Jessica though. Good-bye for now Sailor Pluto." "Good-bye Darien, Serena. Good luck. I'll start blocking the memories right now."

With that done, Darien gave Serena his half of the crystal. The two halves merged. As did Darien and Serena right after. Serena then became Tuxedo Moon. Her powers would be ten times stronger. She had to transform right then, right after they had merged, for this to work. "Moon and Earth Heart Crystal Power, Make Up!" Serena yelled. Jessica and Robert watched in amazement as Serena turned into Tuxedo Moon. She still had a sailor fuku, but the colors were red and silver. She also had a cape. The inside of the cape was red, while the outside was silver. She now had a mask as well. The mask was silver, with red roses print on it. Robert and Jessica both had to admit that she looked excellent.

"Now Jessica, shall we get on with this battle? I must warn you though, my attacks are ten times stronger than what they are when I'm just Super Eternal Sailor Moon, and they are already twenty times stronger than when I was in Tokyo. The scouts were holding me back. Always shielding me, never letting me fight for myself. I may not forgive them for what they did to me, but I will not forgive you for trying to take away my love. Remember my daughter? Do you remember Hotaru? I never told you who the father was, but I will now. The father of my child is the one man I merged with. Prince Endymion. Princess Serenity's true love. Let's get this over with so that I may remember everything about the Crystal Millenium."

"As you wish Serena. You see, you'll never win. My powers are from the queen herself. Dark Sparkling Wide Pressure!" Serena gasped, but defended herself just in time. "Moon and Earth Heart Crystal Elimination!" With just one hit, Jessica went down, but was not yet defeated. "I will defeat you and your queen Jessica. For now, I'll have to be satisfied with just you. Moon and Earth Imperium Crystal Elimination!" With that, Jessica was defeated. She lay bleeding, and burned. They all knew without a doubt that Jessica was dead. Suddenly, Serena collapsed and Darien appeared standing above her.

"Sailor Pluto. What's wrong with her? Why is she on the ground, like she lost a lot of energy, yet I'm not on the ground as well. How much energy did she use? Did you stop blocking the memories now? Please answer me." Darien pleaded silently, letting tears run down his face. "Don't worry Darien. She'll be fine. It takes a lot of energy out of her, because she now has more power. Every time she merges with someone, her power will increase and she will be ten times stronger than she was before, when the two people seperate, the other persons power level stays the same, but don't worry, she hasn't stolen any power from you. She is getting her memories back right now as well. She'll be fine in about an hour or so. You must keep her away from Noe, he is not good anymore. Last night, he was taken by Nega-Crystal, and will do whatever he can to take Serena. Please, keep her safe. I must go now. I must make sure that no one can get through the gates. Good-bye Darien." "Good-bye Sailor Pluto."

He looked up to see Robert grinning evilly. "So, Prince Darien, you've lost some of your power. You shall be easy to beat now. Then, I can take Serena's body to the queen." "See, that's where you're wrong Robert. There's no way I'll let you take Serena away from me. You took her in the Crystal Millenium, but not now. Please, let this work. Earth Crystal Power! Earth Crystal, enhance my strength by 20! Draw your power from the Earth itself!" Robert watched in amazement as he saw red and silver swirling around Darien. The outfit Darien was wearing was the same as when Serena had merged with him, except he had a tuxedo and the colors and shapes reversed. He also had a top hat, and his mask was red with silver crescent moons. His power was now 40 times what it was. The only person as strong as him, or stronger, was Serena, and her power would increase each time she merged with someone, but his would as well.

"Let's get this over with Robert. Serena won't like the fact that you're dead, but she'll have to adjust." Darien said. "Darien, wait a second. Let me take care of him. There is no way that I'll let him hurt one of my best friends like he did in the Crystal Millenium. You may doubt it now, but I have enough power coursing through my body to defeat you and the queen. Even though I was unconcious, I still heard what you said. I handled the memories better than I probably would have 5 years ago. If I had gotten them back 5 years ago, I would have been screaming from everything that happened. It's your turn to die. You should have died in the past with your old queen. Although she was healed, Beryl brainwashed her again. You were brainwashed the first time, but acted as if nothing was wrong. You kept telling me you loved me, but you had an affair with the Mars Princess. Married her, I confronted her, she told you to get lost, and you realized that you loved me but could never have me. I had found out that I truly loved another. You shall die today. Unless you want me to heal you and have you under 24 hour surveillance. Good-bye Robert."

"Wait Princess. If I promise to behave myself, will you let me live, but do not heal me. Your efforts will be wasted. They have me under such excellent control, and I love the power going through my body. I have more power being evil than I would being a good. That doesn't matter anymore. If I have to die, I'll die with honor for the queen." With him done saying that, he got into a fighting stance.

"Wait a second Robert. I'd like that crystal back. Right now, so that I can give it to someone that will use it properly." Robert reluctantly gave the crystal back. "Thank you. Now, we may fight. Moon Silver Imperial Heart Crystal Activation and Elimination!" Within seconds, only a pile of dust remained where Robert used to be. "I never knew you had that kind of power Serena. Are you feeling ok now?"

"Oh, dear. Darien, can you catch me? I feel dizzy and I'm going to faint." Immediately following her words, she fainted. "Sailor Pluto, what's wrong with me? Why am I so tired all of a sudden? I don't think it's because of the energy I used. Is it because of the memories and how I handled them?" "Serena, you should be more careful with how you handle your memories. It was only this once, but you had me scared. I'm sure Sailor Pluto was scared as well." Darien said to Serena. "Of course Sailor Moon, you didn't faint because of the energy you used, you have plenty of energy, now that you have completed the crystal. You fainted because the pressure of the memories was too much for you. Had you taken them all in, and actually let them run through your mind for more than a brief second each, you would have been out for as long as I told Darien and you wouldn't have fainted. You must be careful now Serena. Since you have become more powerful, the Nega-Crystal leader will want you even more. I must go now. Good-bye Sailor Moon. Good-bye Darien." With that, she left.

Sailor Pluto realized that she had to think about a few things. She had to wonder about what she was going to do about her feelings for Darien. She hadn't thought that they were so strong, but they were. She knew that she truly loved him. She tried to tell him that she loved him in the future, but he said that it wasn't true. She was meant to be with Jadeite. She didn't love Jadeite, she would never love Jadeite. She asked the king to go with her to her kingdom just to see if he thought it would be a good place for her husband, whomever she married, to live. She ended up seducing him and having his child. She was carrying his child right now. She would love to tell him, but she couldn't. She could only hope that what she did would be forgotten.

***

In the future. "Sailor Pluto, come to the castle at once. The king and I would like to talk to you." "Very well my queen. I shall be there in one moment." With that said, she left for the castle. "Yes, my queen? There is something you'd like to discuss with me?" Sailor Pluto nervously said. Uh-oh, I think they somehow found out. "Yes, Sailor Pluto, and if you lie you shall be banished. What happened when Darien went to your kingdom?" Neo-Queen Serenity replied calmly. "Well, nothing really. I just asked him questions about what I should do to make the place more presentable to my husband, whenever I shall get one. Why?" "I know you are pregnant Setsuna. The past Setsuna came to us and told us, even though she knew that she would be punished for it. Who seduced whom? She did not tell us this part." Neo-Queen Serenity replied.

"Well, it was Darien that seduced me, my queen. I'm sorry to tell you this, but he did seduce me." "Why don't we just ask the crystal to tell us?" Serenity replied. "Very well my queen." Setsuna said nervously. "Silver Crystal, show us who seduced whom for Setsuna to get pregnant. Ok. It is just as Darien said it was. It was your birthday, and I knew this. You gave him too much wine, but made sure that you stayed sober. You also gave him some pill to make him unaware of what was going on around him. Why Setsuna? Do you hate me that much, or do you love Darien that much?"

"My queen, I'm terribly sorry for lying to you, but I love Darien, I mean, King Endymion so much that I can't bear to think of him being with you. I don't love Jadeite, I don't think I ever will. I am going to have my child, and I will present it to King Endymion demanding that he do the proper thing to help me raise my child. He will have to divorce you and marry me." Setsuna replied quietly, but firmly. "Setsuna, I'm sorry to do this, but, let me see your transformation stick." Setsuna did as she was told. "Silver Crystal, take all of Setsuna's powers and show me who would be willing to guard the Gates of Time. So, just Setsuna is willing to guard the gates. Too bad Setsuna. You sealed your fate when you seduced my husband. I banish you Setsuna to the Moon, to live forever with your guilt, and to live forever with Jadeite."

"Please, my queen. You can't do that to me. Who knows what Jadeite will try. I can't go to the moon with him." Setsuna begged, but failing. Serenity replied coldly, "Too bad Setsuna, you brought this upon yourself. I will just have to make sure that I find someone to guard the gates. I know. Luna! Come in here please. Bring Artemis and Diana. I'd like to speak with you three." "Yes, Serena?" They all asked at once. "If I take you and Artemis to your human forms, and give Diana her own human form, would you be willing to guard the Gates of Time?"

"What for Serena? Isn't that Sailor Pluto's job?" Luna asked. "Sailor Pluto is no more. She is pregnant with Darien's child, and you all know what happens to someone who does that." Serena said. They all glanced at Setsuna with pity because of her punishment. They also looked at her with triumph, because they were finally getting rid of her. They had grown tired of her always knowing what would happen, then hinting at it, and not even telling the scouts what was going on. Even after Serena, Neo-Queen Serenity, had told her to tell the scouts of the past what had happened, she still disobeyed. Then she seduced the king, lied about it, then had the courage to tell the queen that she would demand the king divorce his one true love and take care of her and her child. After this last mistake, they couldn't stand her. "Of course, my queen. We will just need transformation sticks. I can make one for Artemis and Diana as long as you can give me Setsuna's old one." Luna said. "Of course. Make them now before I turn you into humans." Immediately after Serena said that, Luna made two transformations sticks, one for Artemis, and one for Diana. "Silver Crystal, change Luna and Artemis back to their human forms and give Diana her own human form." Serenity commanded.

After a bright flash of black, white, and grey, Luna, Artemis, and Diana stood in their human forms. Luna had long black hair, bright red/purple eyes, and was about 5'10". Artemis had white hair, the length of Darien's, blue eyes, and was about 6'. Diana had blonde hair, about the length of Luna's, green eyes, and was about 5'3". "We shall transform right away and leave to take care of the Gates of Time, my queen. Pluto Moon Power!" "Pluto Moon Guardian Power!" "Pluto Moon Crystal Power!" Three flashes of purple, red, and black followed. When they were done, Luna stood in a sailor fuku like Setsuna's, only different. She had black, red, and white, instead of green, red, and white. Artemis had white, green, and black, like the knight's outfits. Diana had an outfit like her mother's, except her's was grey, red, and white. Serena had to admit that they all looked nice. "We shall leave at once my queen. When shall I get the staff?" Luna asked. "You shall get it right now. Here you go. If you want it to be like Setsuna's was, then just say 'Pluto Moon Staff Extend'. I shall miss you all greatly. Artemis, you won't need anything. Anything that you shall need, will appear when needed most. Diana, you shall get a staff from your mother when she decides you are old enough to handle the power. If you ever need me, you have Setsuna's telepathic power too. Setsuna, you don't have any powers anymore. Luna, please guide Setsuna to her room to gather her things for her stay on the moon. Artemis, you and Diana go get Jadeite and have him pack his things too, then bring them both back here please." "Of course, my queen." The three said in unison.

After about a half hour, they all returned. "Good, you did decide to follow their orders Setsuna. I'm glad you could come Jadeite. Jadeite, you will be going to the moon to live with Setsuna, just you two alone until she has her child. Before you ask, she seduced my husband and became pregnant. I told her that you would be staying with her. Anytime you need to talk to someone here on Earth, or at the Gates of Time, you shall be able to do so telepathically. Setsuna cannot do this anymore, so we will be talking to you. Any questions?" They all shook their heads. Though Setsuna complained about the whole thing. "Good. Now, Luna, Artemis, Diana, will you please escort Setsuna and Jadeite to the moon? I shall be here to talk to you whenever you need me." "Of course my queen, we'll escort them, then go to the Gates of Time. Good-bye my queen, until next time." "Good-bye, my friends and advisors. Good-bye General Jadeite. Good-bye Setsuna." With that, the five travelers, two for the moon, three for the Gates of Time, left.
