Basically this ending just wraps up the lose threads, more of an aftermath on what happened. All explinations are contained withen this chapter.
=====================================
"Setsuna?"
Setsuna looked at the purple haired girl. "Pheobe, your still here?"
Pheobe nodded. "What happened afterwards?"
Setsuna set down her tea. "What do you mean?"
"You never finished your story. What did all that have to do with me?"
Setsuna looked at the young senshi, sitting down beside her on the couch. "As I told you the first time I began the story. It has everything to do with you."
"What happened after Vladimer was destroyed?"
Setsuna leaned back as she struggled to remember the past events. "Lets see..After the seperation of the Empyrium Crystal Clio was exausted. She slept for days in the royal bedroom..."
==========================================
Cl io opened her eyes slowly, adjusting to the light of the room, unsure where she was.
"Your awake."
Clio turned her head to face the young maiden at her bedside, her attire resembled that of a uniform and it was clear that this girl was a servant at the castle.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"3 days, The Queen requested I summon her the minute you awoke."
"Phebe?"
The maiden smiled. "Of course, wait here."
As she stood Clio reached out, taking the girl's arm. "Don't bother. I'd like to surprise her."
With the young maiden's help Clio managed to get dressed with minimal difficulty. Despite her assurences otherwise she was still exausted, and putting on an elegant gown the likes of which she had never worn in her life didn't exactly help matters.
Once satisfied the Astral had been proporly clothed the maiden servant guided her in the direction of the conferance room where Phebe would be waiting.
Clio took a few nervous breaths as she travelled through the elegant corridors of the moon palace. This time no guards stopped her. Not only that, they waited to the side while she passed. For a girl who had survived years in poverty and rejected by society, this was an entirely new experience. Slowly she placed her hands on the doors leading to the main conferance door and pushed them open.
Nine heads looked up from their table as they gazed upon the Astral.
Clio glanced around the room, picking out each senshi that was seated at the table. They looked so different without their uniforms, dressed in elegant royal gowns similer to Clio's own attire. Finally her eyes reached the end where they fell upon the one person she truly recognized. Phebe's cropped silver hair had been managed to form her familiar odongos, and while no silver pigtails hung from their respected positions, the style was still an elegant representation of the Silver Goddess.
Phebe smiled. "Welcome to the conference room Clio."
Clio nodded, trying unsuccessfully to curtsy for her queen. "Thank you my Lady."
"I'm still Phebe, lets spare the formalities, You've earned that much at the very least."
"Thank you Phebe."
Phebe smiled, rising from her seat. "I should thank you. You saved us all Clio."
"I was never alone."
Phebe nodded, approaching her friend. "Neptune? The wand please."
The marine haired woman nodded as she stood, presenting a small white wand with two curved horns to her queen. Phebe bowed her head gratefully, accepting the wand as she revealed the rainbow gem in her other hand. "Clio, you are the one person I can entrust to keep the Sailor gem safe."
Calmly she placed the gem between the two horns of the wand and offered the treasure to Clio. "Take this, and guard it with your life."
Clio shook her head, pushing the item away. "I can't Phebe. It's too great a gift, the gem belongs in you hands."
Phebe smiled. "You called the sailor powers out The result was this gem. If it returns to the Empyrium Crystal anyone can control it, just like before. Clio the seperation must remain, and you are the only one I could think of worthy of this honor."
Clio nodded. "Can I make a request?"
Phebe nodded. "Anything."
"I want a planet."
The other senshi nearly chocked, caught off guard by Clio's outrageous request.
"Why Clio?"
"You may be trusting enough, but I am well aware of the damage already done to my people. It would take centuries for us to recover from these times, we might never be accepted. I want a planet so they may be able to live in peace."
Phebe nodded in agreement. "A noble request Clio. But how are we going to get a planet?"
Clio nodded, considering the thought, she looked at the conferance table, her gaze moving among all the senshi. Clearly all feared she would make an attempt on their home world. She smiled at the thought, knowing her next proposal would stun them all.
Clio shivered , gazing at the dead rock beneath her. Over the next few weeks everyone had been evacuated from Atropos, but the feeling of death still lingered in the smell and atmosphere of the dead planet.
"Are you alright Clio?"
Clio looked at her friend and nodded. Phebe was dressed for the occassion in one of the most beautiful gowns she had ever seen. The Astral smiled remembering how the silver goddess had offered a similer gown to her for the occassion, one which she had promptly refused to wear. She had enough experience with those confining royal gowns to last her lifetime, which now looked to be a very extensive one.
Looking back Clio noted the eight senshi, all proudly in the uniform of their planet. She smiled and gazed back still further, looking upon a council of 12 Astrals. These were the most powerful of her people that had managed to survive Vladimar's reign. Now they stood at ready to assist the Queen in a task that would finaly allow their people a home. Sighing she took out her wand and nodded to Phebe, who removed her own Crystal. Taking a deep breath she signalled her ready to the 8 Senshi and 12 waiting Astrals.
Phebe nodded as she began to concentrate. Clio followed immediatly after while the senshi bowed in unison, followed by the Astrals. Gradually the crystal began to glow, the rainbow gem following suit until both glowed together, their auras extending over their weilders. Responding to the power the senshi began to glow in their own auras, the Astrals completing the circle as their light began to shine around their forms. Still Phebe continued to glow until finally her gown vanished, replaced with a white sailor uniform, the golden bows slowly forming into view on her outfit. Finally all was ready, Phebe opened her palms and released the power. Light spread across the planet, covering the surface and atmosphere as new life was reathed into the dead planet. Blue fields of grass and water appeared on the surface as the glowing magenta clouds formed in the sky. Slowly the light began to vanish into the planet. Phebe smiled, they had created the planet with success.
Clio reached out her arms, catching Phebe as she collapsed.
*so they created the planet?*
*Yes.*
*But what about Sailor Clios?*
*I'm coming to that*
Clio smiled, laying back against the grass as she stared into the sky, the beautiful atmosphere of Astral.
*Wait, thats not clios?*
*Be patient*
"We did good Clio."
Clio nodded to her friend. "Are you going to return to the moon?"
Phebe nodded, sitting up. "Theres still a lot of work to do, but I did bring you a gift."
Clio smiled, taking the box from her friend. "You've already given me a great gift Phebe."
"This gift comes with the planet."
Clio nodded as she lifted the lid, her eyes widened as she gazed at it's contents.
"I had it specially made. I thought I would combine the colors of the clouds with your hair."
Clio carefully reached inside, lifting the sailor moon to get a better view. The skirt reflected a deep magenta that matched the boots. The bows were a deep purple following a purple choker and magenta cuffs on the gloves. Finally the outfit was completed with it's own tiara, an amethyst jewel set in the center. "Phebe..this is amazing."
"Once you put it on you will be able to transform back to it at any time."
Clio nodded, setting the outfit back inside the box. "Phebe, I can't accept this."
Phebe looked at her friend worridly. "Is something wrong with it?"
Clio shook her head. "It's just the duty. Do you really want me as your guardian?"
Phebe smiled, nodding. "I talked it over with the senshi and they agree, Clios needs someone to protect it."
Clio looked at the silver maiden questioningly. "Clios?"
"The planet."
"I thought we agreed the name would be Astral."
Phebe grinned. "We changed our minds."
"We?"
"Me, the Senshi and those 12 other Astrals of yours. After all, planets should be named for their heros."
Clio looked at her friend blankly. "Hero is it? One day I'm going to find a better way to embaress you. I should speak with those elders and make sure you didn't just sway them with that crystal of yours."
Phebe grinned. "That will be the day. Go ahead and ask for a new vote, you still won't get very far, the names stuck."
Clio smiled, once again removing the uniform to look at it. "Clios right?" She sighed. "Well your still not getting me into another one of those gowns you have."
"Deal."
===========The End============
"Thats it?"
Setsuna nodded. "Thats the story. Clio lived out the rest of her life on Clios. She did eventually see the young Lunarian Helicaon again and Clio did get her revenge by naming her daughter, and then her grandaughter after the Moon Queen. Although I doubt the naming of two descendents could live up to having an entire planet named after you."
"But what happened to Nemesis?"
Setsuna set her tea down, folding her hands into her lap. "Did Usagi or the others ever tell you about the black moon?"
"...Nemesis? and Wiseman?"
Setsuna nodded. "The very same."
"Alright, but just, one more thing."
"Whats that?"
"What happened to Clio's other sisters?"
Setsuna thought back. "Lets see, if I remember Phebe did help Clio search for her remaining family. Urania was discovered near the end of Vladimer's reign and died on Atrapos Melpomene lived for a year on the planet and died from disease. Calliope died on Saturn at the hands of the guards who discovered them. Now Polyhymnia..She survived the dead planet and actually lived a very long life with her sister on Clios."
"What about Thalia?"
"Now that one remaned a mystery. Clio searched for Thalia the rest of her life. Phebe did everthing to search for Clio's youngest sister but she was never found. I don't think Clio ever stopped searching. To this day no one ever found her."
"But you did."
Setsuna smiled. "Your learning. Thalia moved to Earth after Clio had been caught, and she hid out the rest of her life in what is now Tokyo."
"Tokyo? You mean right here?"
Setsuna nodded. "Actually her descendents still live around here. Have you heard of an Osaka Naru?"
Pheobe coughed, nearly choking. "Naru?!"
Setsuna nodded "I don't remember how far it goes back, but the relation is there. If I'm not mistaken I believe the she would be considered your cousin."
Pheobe nodded rising to her feet. "Thank you Setsuna."
Setsuna nodded politely. "I'm glad I could help."
She sipped her tea quietly as she watched Pheobe head out the door.
Pheobe took a deep breath, standing before the jewlery store for nearly 10 minutes before deciding to enter. Immediatly she was greeted by a tall red headed woman. "May I help you?"
Pheobe nodded. "Actually, I came to see Naru?"
The lady nodded politely, directing her to the stairs. Again Pheobe paused a few moments before knocking on the door, a voice rang clear, answering from the other side. "Who is it?"
"My name is Pheobe."
"Pheobe?"
"I know Usagi."
There was a slight pause as she heard the shuffling of feet, and the door swung open, revealing a young redhead with curly hair standing before her. "What did Usagi do this time?"
Pheobe smiled. "Nothing, she just talks a lot about you. I was just wondering what you were like."
Naru nodded. "Would you like to come in?"
"I'd like that."
