Chapter 3-"Sunset and Sunrise"
Timeline: Silver Millennium
*********
begin part 8
*********
Beryl stared up at her sister, niece, and future
nephew-in-law, almost in a trance. Images
danced through her head, images of the Queen
and herself as children, playing happily in the
gardens, images of her holding a blondhaired,
blue-eyed infant. 'Wait a minute, who am I
anyway,' her mind cried out in confusion.
Then she saw images of death and destruction.
'NOOOOOO!'
Before anyone could say anything, a presence
that could only be described as pure evil entered
the room admist swirling winds. "Beryl," it hissed,
"Remember, you swore your loyality to me."
"No Aunty, I believe in you! Fight this evil, you
can beat her," screamed the Princess.
"Please Beryl, sweet sister, come back to me,"
whispered Queen Selenity.
The three watched as Beryl's internal struggle
between her love for her family and friends and
the hatred that had been bred within her by an
evil spectre. Finally, Beryl looked up, and she
whispered, "I'm sorry Seren (the Queen),
Rennie Rose (the Princess), Prince... she's
too strong for me... Selenity! Kill me before
its too late!"
"No Beryl," Selenity shrieked, "How can I kill
my own *sister,* for Selene's sake!!"
Just before Beryl's naturally green eyes faded into
an evil, sickly yellow, she breathed, "For the good
of the Kingdom, for the good of the Universe...
do it..." With those final words, Beryl, Princess-Dowager
of the Moon, sister to the Queen, aunt to the
Princess, faded, leaving an evil witch who
cared for nothing but herself.
Cackling, she sneered, "Very good Queenie, but
I'm afraid that you're *beloved* sister is no more...
prepare to die!" At that, dark energy appeared
on top of her staff and was preparing to be
hurrled at the Queen.
"NOOOOOO!" Came shouts from all corners of
the room, causing Beryl, the Queen, the Princess,
and Endymion to turn in surprise. There standing
were the four generals at the sides of the four Sailor
Scouts.
"What," shrilled Beryl, "How can this be?!?! Kunzite,
Zoisite, Nephrite, Jeadite, why haven't you killed
those pathetic girls?"
"We will not be fooled into killing our own soulmates,
Beryl," yelled Zoisite as he clutched Mars's hand.
Her yellow eyes narrowing, she shrugged, "Well, then
I'll just have to kill all of you myself!"
A mere second later, the dark energy on the top of her
staff tore at the Queen. Gasping, Selenity raised the
Crystal to protect them all.
Her silver eyes growing old and sad, Selenity whispered,
"This is how it must end. Time for a new generation to
take hold," she paused and then continued, stronger,
"Serenity, Endymion, all of you, get back!"
The winds began to howl in an even more ferocious
intensity. They gathered around Beryl and seemed
to... meld with her. Her eyes shut and she was
engulfed by pure dark energy. When she could be
seen again, she her eyes were now glowing red, her
hair had turned to a sickly blue, and she radiated even
more evil than before.
"You shall not live to see another sunset Selenity,"
Beryl/Metallia seethed.
Her eyes betraying nothing, Selenity merely replied,
"I will not die unless you come with me!"
Without another word, the two opponets shot out
energy at each other, each seeking to overpower
the other. After several minutes of this, it was clear
that Queen Selenity was not going to win this alone,
and the Princess could easily see it.
Heedless of the shouted warnings of her friends,
Princess Serenity burst forward and came to the
side of her mother, adding her power. Endymion
followed right behind, never far from his love.
Staring at the royals, Lita breathed, "They can't last
long against that witch!"
"Come on," shouted Mina, "They need our power!"
"My friends, this is what it all comes down to:
teamwork," Raye told them.
Amy cried, "Together, we can win!"
With that, the four girls surged forward. The four
generals looked at one another, a myriad of emotions
running across their faces.
"Well," Jeadite cracked, "Who are we not to follow
four gorgeous women, no matter where they go?"
Rolling his eyes, Kunzite muttered, "Did you ever take
into consideration your oath to the Prince?"
No one bothered to answer. The four men moved
up to join the four Sailors.
"Venus Power!"
"Mercury Power!"
"Mars Power!"
"Jupiter Power!"
Kunzite turned a silver color that matched his eyes
perfectly, Zoisite's was olive green, Jeadite's was
a brilliant red, and Nephlite was a ocean blue.
Slowly, their power merged together and was fed
to the Royal Family.
Feeling all the energy reach its peak, Queen
Selenity and Princess Serenity shrieked,
"COSMIC MOON POWER... UNITE!!!"
All the energy gathered around the Imperium
Crystal. It seemed to swell, then suddenly shot
out right at the evil Queen Beryl/Metallia.
"WHAT," she screamed, "THIS CANNOT
BE HAPPENING! I AM METALLIA, I
AM SUPREME! ARGHHH!!!"
*~*~*~*~*
Queen Selenity felt the last of her sister die.
But just before she did, she felt a faint whisper
in her mind, 'Thank you Seren. You set me
free. Farewell sweet one.'
Selenity smiled and whispered back, 'Don't
worry Be, we'll be together soon. Wait for
me, I'm coming.'
*~*~*~*~*
Princess Serenity awoke in the arms of
Endymion. She looked up into his worried
cobalt eyes and asked, "Metallia?"
He smiled at her and said, "She's gone
love, she'll never trouble us again."
Smiling back at him, she struggled to sit up.
She then turned to the others, who all sat in
an arch around the two of them. Then she
saw the unmoving person in Sailor Venus's
arms and screamed hysterically, "MAMA!!!"
Bolting out of Endymion's arms, she dove to
the side of her mother. "Mama," she whispered
quietly this time, "Mama, wake up!"
Slowly, weakly, Queen Selenity's silver eyes
opened and stared into the glistening orbs of
her daughters.
"We did it Mother," she gushed, "We beat
Metallia! And Aunty Beryl's at peace."
Slowly, the Queen smiled, then turned towards
the men, "My friends, kneel before me," she
whispered.
Though they were surprised, all five did so
quickly, sensing that their Queen did not
have much more time left among the living.
"Prince Endymion, General Kunzite, General
Jeadite, General Zoisite, and General Nephlite...
do you swear to always be there for these five
women, to honor them, protect them, comfort
them... above all others?"
"Yes my Queen," they said together.
Another gentle smile broke out onto her pale face
and she replied, "Then you have my consent for
marriage, should you so wish it," she paused
and turned to her daughter, "I give you my
consent to succeed me."
"But Mother," Serenity protested, "You are
still Queen. You're going to be fine-"
"Serenity Rose, I am tired. I used
everything in that attack. I didn't
allow you to because you must be
the one to rebuild our home. My
generation's time is over, its time
for your's to take hold. Do you
understand me?"
Tears streaming down her face, Serenity
whispered softly, "Yes Mama, I understand.
I love you, and give my love to the family."
Squeezing her daughter's hand one last time,
Queen Selenity smiled, closed her eyes,
and joined her husband, sister, and the
others who had fallen that day.

For a few minutes, no one said anything as
Queen Selenity's body faded away to stardust.
Finally, Serenity stood up, picked up the
Crescent Moon Wand and Imperium Crystal,
and walked out of the throne room, everyone
else following her. Along the way, Luna and
Artemis, who'd been trying to find the Queen
and Princess during the battle, finally joined them.
Still not saying anything, she walked out to the
front of the ruined Moon Palace, where the
survivors had come to wait for a command
from their Queen. She stared out at them,
her face revealing nothing.
As though sensing what Serenity was trying
to tell them, someone rang out, "The Queen
is dead, long live the Queen." With that,
everyone, including the Generals, the Sailors,
and Endymion, knelt before her. Sensing this,
the Imperium Crystal began to glow with a
silver light. It surrounded Serenity, and when
she could be seen again, she wore a dress
similiar to the one she'd been wearing, except
it was more formfitting, and a crown that held
a crescent shaped diamond on it, surrounded
by two sapphires, two rubies, an emerald, a
topaz jewel, an aquarimine, an amthesist, and
four stones representing the four Generals.
Finally, the new Queen spoke, "We will rebuild
what was lost, make it better than it was. The
Silver Millennium is past, now the Crystal
Millennium begins, a new era of piece. It will
be greater than its predessor, and will last for
eternity. But first, we have something else to
do. Before my mother the Queen died, she
gave me permission to marry Prince Endymion
of Earth, and should they wish it, the Generals
of Earth and my Sailor Guardians to marry as
well. Once this has been taken care of, we
shall begin the process of rebuilding the Moon
and the Planetary civilizations."
A great cheer rose out of the crowd and
everyone smiled.
*~*~*~*~*
From a distance, the four Outer Sailors watched
and smiled. Their Princess had grown up from
a little girl to a strong Queen and woman. They
had no doubt that she would be a good Queen
indeed.
*~*~*~*~*
Serenity, her husband, King Alexander, and Beryl
watched as well. Beryl let out a wild woop of joy,
then blushed at the amused looks her companions
gave her.
*~*~*~*~*
Serenity had been right. Though it had taken a long
time, the survivors of what became known as the
Great Massacre of System Sol, had managed to
rebuild all the civilizations. All the Sailors became
Queen's of their respective planets, with their husbands
by their sides.
Serenity and Endymion had a total of six children,
Serenity Cassandra, Endymion Alexander, Chasidy Rose,
Beanca Lauren, Atlantis Terra, and Terran James. Both
boys held their mothers blond hair and blue eyes, as did
Chasidy Rose, but Serenity Cassandra, Beanca Lauren,
and Atlantis Terra held their fathers raven hair and cobalt
eyes. All of them though, had their mothers cheerful
personality.
Mina and Kunzite had four children, three girls and a son;
Aphrodite, Harmony, Myra, and Eros. They not only ruled
Venus, but remained the leaders of their lieges bodyguards
until their deaths. Harmony, Myra, and Eros were bubbly
children, much like their mother, but Aphrodite was definitely
her father's daughter, always serious and reserved.
Amy and Jeadite had three children; Melody, Hermes, and little
Kiley. They ruled Mercury, planet of wisdom, for many years,
but chose to do this from the Moon, prefering to remain with
their friends. All three children were keenly intelligent and
known prankesters, that trait Amy blamed Jeadite on.
Raye and Zoisite had twins, Aries and Aurora. Being born
of the Queen of Mars and of the Hotheaded General of King
Endymion, it was thought that the children would be much
like their parents. Much to everyone's surprised, this only turned
out to be half correct. Aries did indeed inherit the famous temper,
but Aurora was sweet-tempered and able to be the butt of a joke
without flaming the joker.
Lita and Nephlite had three children like Amy and Jeadite, twins
Hera and Zeus, and another daughter, Annika. All three children
became well known astronomers and chiefs. No one was ever
surprised by this. Though they were all quite good at this, only
Annika went on to make astronomy her life's work.
*!*!*!*!*
No one knows if this story is true, not that it really matters.
No story can be false if spoken from the depths of your heart.
And it would seem to anyone with any perspective that this one
is quite true. It is a story of angst, destruction, the never ending
ties of friendship, and choices. But most importantly, this is a
story of love that can defeat any evil, and show the rewards
of that defeat...

Princess Serenity awoke in the arms of
Endymion. She looked up into his worried

He smiled at her and said, "She's gone
love, she'll never trouble us again."
Smiling back at him, she struggled to sit up.
She then turned to the others, who all sat in
