Author's Notes: Heehee, I'm actually writing again before midterms! Yay! Never thought I'd get around to it. Seriously though, I'm way nervous right now and I'm thinking writing is the best way to relieve my whole "Oh my stars my dance midterm is due tomorrow and it's a solo project and I'm so completely going to screw it up because it's the first one I've done alone and I have no idea what I'm doing" syndrome. Yeah, I'm just kinda freaking, plus I have the rest of my midterms next week to look forward to. (joy.)
Oh! Something hit me the other day - there was actually foreshadowing to the whole Diana thing if you were paying really close attention. Way back in like chapter 2 or so, I referenced the fact that one of Princess Serenity's goddess names was Diana, however it was stuck in the middle of a long string of titles, so its not entirely surprising that no one saw it. I Knew I had a reason for naming her Diana!
People who have problems with Haruka & Michiru - that is taken directly from the original series. I see no reason to be like the evil dub company and change it, so they're still together. However, it's not a focal point of the story and so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Anyways, Sailor Moon and Gundam Wing aren't mine. Please don't sue, all the money I have is currently being saved for a really awesome trip to London in my senior year (it would be appropriate to say I'm only sophmore, and saving the cash will take a while), so please don't take it away from me.
Hugs and chocolate to my beta readers!
Moving On - Chapter 9
By: Eternal Rose
Naturally, it was at this precise moment that a portal opened behind them and a mysterious person stepped through. Magenta eyes glittered against pale skin, and the woman's green black hair trailed casually from a high bun into a ponytail and down her back. She smiled softly as Serenity walked over and gave her a hug.
"Setsuna-chan!" Serenity said, her lips turned up in a broad grin. It had been ever so long since the last time she saw her "other mother", the senshi of Pluto. The time guardian wrapped her arms around the young princess before stepping back and bowing low.
"Your majesty." Pluto proclaimed quietly. Serenity giggled and motioned for her to rise. It seemed no length of time would ever break the dearly loved senshi from her old habits. The others were quick to crowd around their dear friend, and welcome her as their princess had.
~* Realm of Nightmares *~
"Have you anything new to report?" The queen, her long, curly red hair standing out in the stark blackness, inquired. Her large, onyx throne easily supported her slight weight, and a purple dress clung to her body. Even if it was a child in front of her, failure to gain more information would not be tolerated. It was vital at this stage of the plan that nothing went wrong.
"Another of the sailor senshi has entered the GW dimension." The girl answered quietly. She was sure her queen would be enraged, and the news only got worse. "Whatever problems Serenity and Heero experienced have passed, for she is awake and forgives him whatever happened."
"Kuso! How could you allow this to happen?" The queen thundered. Her eyes glared daggers at the girl.
"Your majesty," She replied quietly, for she would never dare use the woman's name, "you instructed me not to reveal myself yet. The only way to prevent this would have been to become involved in it, and shown them who I am."
"Very well. But do not make such a mistake again. Has his highness returned yet?" The queen asked, fire still dancing in her eyes. How dare that little brat forgive Heero? It would have made her life so much easier if they remained separate.
"No, but he should return within a matter of hours." The queen nodded her head royally and looked away, clearly dismissing the girl, who took the hint and disappeared.
~* Dimension SM *~
Minako and Ami's eyes snapped open in their respective rooms at Rei's temple. Serenity was all right! Heavens be praised, she was alive and happy! But… she wasn't in love with her prince? Why had she rushed out of the room? Wasn't her hero here? And if he was, why hadn't she brought them back with her? Why had they gone through two separate doors to return to their dimensions? It made no sense, nor did the conversation the two moon maidens had had. Both rose and hurried into the main room of the temple.
"Mamoru, do you remember what happened yesterday?" Rei was seated across the table from the prince, and Makoto was next to him. Her voice floated gently out the door to where Minako and Ami stood. There was only a moment's hesitation before they pushed open the door, relief evident in their eyes that he was still all right. Whatever he had done to Usagi, she had forgiven him and was on her way back. Wasn't she?
"Minako, Ami, how are you?" Mamoru said pleasantly as they entered. They quickly exchanged glances between themselves and the other senshi. It seemed as though he knew that Usagi was still alive, but that was impossible unless she'd already been to see him. Which, although they admitted it was possible, seemed unlikely because she'd only left them a few moments ago and Rei still looked very worried. Their thoughts were confirmed when he chuckled and said, "What's the matter with all of you? From the way you're acting, I'd almost think someone had died."
All of the senshi appeared shocked by his reaction. Rei and Makoto appeared saddened and confused, but Ami and Minako merely seemed surprised.
"So Usagi has been to see you too?" Minako asked. She smiled tranquilly at the senshi of Jupiter and Mars as they glared at her. "Don't worry, Usagi is all right. She used the crystal to save herself and came to visit us in our dreams last night. So did her highness Queen Serenity. The queen asked us to give you something, too."
"Minako!" Ami exclaimed. "I know precisely what you're talking about, but the queen and the princess have yet to give us that command. Maybe we should wait."
"Awww, c'mon, don't be such a worry pimple." Minako responded, not at all noticing the fact that she'd botched yet another quote. "In the Silver Millennium Serenity made us promise that if they ever forgot, we would remind the others so long as she wasn't dead."
"Well, I supposed we could." Ami replied. She rose and walked towards Rei, and Minako duplicated the gesture with a move towards Makoto. Both of them stretched their arms over the others heads, and were preparing to return the memories of the senshi when a sharp, black shape came flying at them.
"Luna!" All of the inner senshi exclaimed. "Why did you do that?"
"Usagi is dead!" She wailed. "You would only be torturing them to show them how she was back in those wonderful days."
Artemis stepped forward and rubbed against her, purring softly. The senshi were so engrossed in sorting out all of the problems, all the surprise, and shock, and the continued concealment of the Realm of Dreaming, that no one noticed a figure slip away from the group and disappear in wisps of smoke.
~* Realm of Nightmares *~
Soft swirls of smoke filled the area before the thrones, and a man's shape formed. He walked slowly up to the throne, and sat down upon it quietly. Then the man turned and looked at his wife.
"The senshi know she's alive." He said simply. The queen turned and glared at her kind before exploding in a rage.
"How could you have let this happen?" She shrieked. "I swear, Serenity is undoing all of the favors she just did for me. Everything she had offered has been taken away. I thought her above doing it twice!"
"Love, you place to much faith in her so-called generous nature. As I've often told you, she is not to be trusted. All those of the Moon Star Kingdom are evil, and intend only to help themselves. Look you, the princess was told that I would be her best match, and bring peace to all of the solar system with her. Instead, she goes and declares her love for that traitorous brother of mine."
"But darling, don't you love me at all?" the queen asked. "Or am I just to use my powers as the senshi of Earth to destroy one of my best friends from my childhood because you are jealous?"
"Beryl." His voice was low and dangerous. The queen backed off a little bit, and stared into his eyes. Gods, why did they have to be such a magnetic shade of blue? "If I had married Serenity, it would have been for duty, for peace. Now the only way to obtain that peace is to destroy her. Do you want peace or not?"
"Of course I do, my love." Beryl said. She leaned in and kissed him. He responded to her light touch, and the kiss deepened and sweetened. She drew back slowly and whispered, "Oh, I love you so much, Endymion."
"As I love you." He said, an evil smile tinting his face.
~* Dimension GW *~
"So, Usagi, care to explain how you and Heero came to be best buddies again? I mean, after what he did, I wasn't sure we'd ever see you again." Duo questioned after they had all welcomed Setsuna. Heero glared, but Serenity laughed.
"Duo-kun, Heero did nothing wrong. I merely misunderstood something." Serenity smiled.
"Misunderstood something?" Duo looked confused. "Hell, Renity, it was pretty straightforward. Heero fell in love with someone else and you 'merely misunderstood something'?"
Wufei smacked Duo round the head, and the others turned with curiosity to their Princess, except, naturally, for Setsuna. Heero pulled out his gun, and aimed casually at Duo.
"Say that again and I will kill you." Haruka transformed and pulled out a huge sword, which she pointed at Heero. Michiru likewise transformed, but grabbed hold of Haruka, trying to calm her down. Hotaru and Trowa merely stared at their companions. Quatre looked adorably confused, and stood up as though he was going to tell them all to calm down, but Motoki put a hand over his mouth.
"Heero, if you shoot the Princess's bodyguard that gives me more than reason enough to kill you!" Haruka shouted, trying her best to pull away from Michiru, but her lover was equal in strength and kept a firm hold of her. Serenity started laughing, and suddenly everyone froze to look at her.
"Haruka, do not harm Heero. He didn't do anything wrong. Heero merely did what was natural. He loved me in all my forms." The others in the room, including Heero but again, excluding Setsuna, looked extremely puzzled. Serenity giggled again, then continued. "I could never be mad at Heero for loving Diana for one simple reason - I was Diana."
Completely stunned silence held for a long time in the room.
"Injustice!" Wufei declared. "Why didn't we get to meet you then?"
"Wait a second, I'm confused." Quatre still looked a little lost. "If you were Diana, then why were you and the other senshi living in the other dimension, not to mention Motoki. Plus, Heero told us Diana died."
"I did." Serenity said. At their shocked expressions, she once again laughed. Honestly, when everything she was involved in seemed extraordinary, you'd think they would have learned not to be so shocked by a little thing like her death and rebirth. "Motoki was reborn after an accident robbed him of his life here, the inner senshi died in a battle against an evil here, the same battle that took my life when I jumped in front of Heero to save him. By the power of the crystal, we were reborn again. Come on, its not like this is the first time it happened."
"Well all right then. I guess everything worked out just fine." Duo said, an ironic hint in his voice. When everyone stared at him, he shrugged and continued, laughter in his voice, "Seriously, I'm happy you two are back together again. How could I have fun pulling pranks on everyone, especially Heero, without you to help?"
Heero returned his gun to its standard aim. Haruka leveled her sword at Duo, and no one moved to stop either of them. The two then announced, "Try anything and I'll kill you."
The rest of the room, even Trowa, burst out laughing as Duo dodged behind Serenity.
"Save me, Renity!" He looked at her serious expression, and decided to plead for his life. "Please, don't let them kill me! I mean, I am death, so I won't really die, but that sword and gun look like they could hurt a lot."
"Well, I don't know…" Serenity said. She laughed aloud at Duo's pitiful expression. "I'm only kidding Duo. Although sometimes, I seriously wonder why I keep you around when instead of you protecting me its constantly me protecting you."
"You highness," Setsuna began seriously, and everyone turned to see what comedic line she intended to add to the farce. To their surprise, she looked deadly serious. "We have a problem."
"Yea," Wufei said, "Maxwell is still alive even after every dishonorable thing he's done. It's such a tremendous injustice!"
"No, I mean serious trouble." The senshi of time took a deep breath and looked at their cheerful faces. Gods, she didn't want to ruin all of their fun, but desperate times called for desperate measures, and the fate of the universe lay in the hands of her princess. "Princess, Beryl is back and Endymion has rejoined her."
~* On the other side of town… *~
Sally Po and Lucrenzia Noin were strolling quietly through a park while on a break from their Preventor's mission. Suddenly, screams erupted from the other side of the park. Naturally, they pulled out their guns and ran. They were shocked to discover what was waiting for them.
To the left of the path of they were on stood a huge, ugly monster. It was a tremendous, half-snake half-rabbit demon. Its body was that of a snake, save the fluffy cottontail where a rattler should have been and the large, rabbit face and distinctive ears. The youma's expression was positively rabid, and it was attacking the people as they fled away. Working only on base instinct, Noin and Sally started to fire at it.
"That won't work." A familiar voice called out to them as the monster turned and moved towards the two. Hidden in the shadows, the voice spoke again. "Oh look, you made it mad. Guess you'll just have to die now. Pity."
Both women shrieked as the youma wrapped its tail around them, binding them tightly.
~* End Chapter 9 *~
Heehee, I really took my time writing this, didn't I? Sorry, but midterms clobbered me. If it's any consolation, I think I might have passed! Oh well. Kudos to LH, who designed my monster for me.
