The Realization Part 7 Written by Aria Chiba PG You can send your comments about my story to ariachiba@hotmail.com Visit my webpages at princessmercury.freeservers.com or sailormercuryshrine.freeservers.com Authors Note: This story deals with Usagi and Mamoru getting back together and a dip in the story line with new powers and such. This is the "realization" of the Senshi's true identity. No, i don't own Sailor Moon. So, please don't sue me! ******************************************************************** I felt it important to note that this story takes place before the Black Moon Clan is destroyed. Chibi-Usa manages to get home without the Ginsuisho or finding her mother. I think i've neglected to stress the oddity in the time traveling process, and how the kingdom wasn't at war. So, i'm STRESSING the importance here, and please keep that in mind. ******************************************************************** In a flash, Minako appeared in front of them once again. "Wow," Mamoru whispered. "What happened? What is the secret?" Minako asked eagerly. Usagi looked thoughtful, then hopped onto the seat, running around the edge of the fountain. " A piece of our powers was sealed inside of the statue, to grow by our love until there came a day when the power was needed once again. Over the 2000 odd years, the power must be enormous." Mamoru climbed up next to her. "But... it's sealed. How can we reach it?" Minako watched them curiously, wondering exactly was going on. All she could do was watch. With a small touch to her Ginsuisho, she transformed into Princess Serenity, and beside her, Mamoru changed into Prince Endymion. Serenity gently held the Ginsuisho in her hand, and as she raised it above her head, she cried, "Ginsuisho! Please break this seal encasing our powers!" A soft pink light emanated from it and absorbed into the statue. The water that ran out of her hand began to sparkle with moondust. It pulsed for a few moments, then a bright gold orb appeared on the statue Serenity's hand, the water ceasing to flow. The orb emanated not only Moon energy, but Earth energy as well. "The energy has become..." Minako whispered in amazement. "...One," Endymion finished. The Ginsuisho suddenly started to move towards the orb, both shining brighter as they became closer. As it reached the orb, it became so bright that even Serenity had to close her eyes. A soft shining, and the light dimmed back to a soft glow. As they opened their eyes, they gasped, for the Serenity Statue was now holding a golden staff, and the staff's head was a silver and gold crystal, incased in silver wings. "The Eternal United Crystal! I thought it was only a legend!" Minako cried. Serenity carefully stepped forward and gently took the staff. "The power is so strong, more powerful then I could have ever of imagined," she murmured. She turned around to face Minako and her prince. "I remember now!" she cried. She held out the staff in front of her, parallel to her body. "Eternal Moon United Crystal Power-" she began to float as she released the quickly rising staff, "- MAKE UP!" The Crystal began to pulse a gold and silver light. The light melded into gold and silver feathers, and two angel wings (unlike the handlike ones in her other eternal form) burst out of her back. The feathers continued to circle her, creating a whitish silver body suit. She stretched out her hands towards the heavens, and began to softly spin, her silver skirt with gold trimming forming. Her Golden Heart and Moon brooch flashed upon her chest, sending out small wings (instead of her old bow) and a golden chest flap formed. Her feet began to glow as winged angel sandals appeared, bearing the crescent moon sign. Her fingers stretched out as the silver feathers formed her gloves, and feathers burst out of her golden elbow bands. Her Crescent Moon shone and stayed, as her crescent earrings, feather hair pieces, golden orbs on her meatballs, and silver and gold choker appeared. As she carefully took her staff in hand, her hair shone silver, speckled with a few golden strands. As she posed, she looked like an angel sent from heaven. As she floated in the sky, she said softly, "I am Golden Eternal Angel Sailormoon." Endymion just gazed up at her, as Minako started to ramble. "Golden Eternal Angel Sailor Moon?! But, that phase never occurred to the queen! What in the world..." she rambled. "Minako, you will recall that Endymion possesses the Golden Crystal, correct?" GEA Sailor Moon questioned. Endymion looks up at her and gasped, "The Golden Crystal? What are you talking about?" "Y-yes, I know," Minako stammered, glancing over at him, "It is his crystal as the Ginsuisho is yours." "Essences of the the two crystal combined in the statue, and over time, they intertwined and became one, the Eternal United Crystal. Now, Prince Endymion, step forward." He stepped forward, and kneeled, feeling a little unsure. She easily picked up on it. "You need not fear, soon you will understand." Gently, she raised her staff in front of her, spread her arms wide, and with her eyes closed, she whispered, "Angel Moon Teardrops." A gentle light flowed from the crystal, and into Prince Endymion. His armor turned gold and silver, and understanding crashed into him. He understood himself, what he truly was. He remembered Elyson and Priest Helios. The light softened, and he stood up. GEA Sailor Moon came down to face him. He took her into his arms, and kissed her gently on the lips. "I remember it all," he said, authority and tranquility in his voice. They stepped apart and looked at Minako. Minako was bowing in respect. She stood up and said, "I believe it's almost time for you to return to your own time. Please, spend the night at Priestess Rei's home, and return to the castle. The Queen will surely wish to speak to you. I will guide you to the temple." The two de- transformed and followed Minako. As they left the forest, Minako turned around. "I want to thank you both, for all you have done. I hope I have not caused irreversible conflicts, which might impair you in your life, but i have a feeling that it was destined from the start. I wish you two the best. I hope to see you again soon." She bowed again, and turned around and disappeared into the night. Usagi gasped, "Oh my gosh, Luna! She must be worried sick!" She grabbed Mamoru's hand and ran towards the temple. When they had almost made it, Usagi suddenly stumbled and crashed to the ground. "Ugh!" "Usa-ko, are you alright?" Mamoru asked softly, bending down next to her. She struggled to her feet, nodding. "Yea, I must be getting a bit sleepy, that's all. C'mon," she said, grabbing his arm and heading back, a little slower this time. They got to the top of the porch to find a peeved Luna. "And where have you two been for the last THREE hours??" Luna asked, with a 'do I really want to know' look on her face. They looked at each other, Mamoru looking a little embarrased. But Usagi took a deep breath and announced," We've traveled approxametly 2000 years into the past to the Moon Kingdom, becoming non-exsitant parts of our past selves. Then we came back, united the Ginsuisho with the Golden/Silver power, and I became Golden Eternal Angel Sailormoon. Mamoru became the Golden Earth Warrior. And now I must go back to the past and unite the scouts with the power." She said with a flourish. "Yeah, taht about sums it up," Mamoru stated slowly, a bit taken back by how she summed up the situation. Luna was obviously very surprised as well. "You mean, you somehow became stronger by some how going into the past?" Usagi nodded slowly. Shew was feeling a bit lightheaded, she she suggested, "Why don't we go back inside. I'm feeling a... a little... um..." she swayed, and everything went black. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~POV change~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "USA-KO!" Mamoru cried, catching her. 'what's going on sweetheart?' He picked her up and held her protectivly. "Take her over to the couch." Luna commanded, worry sliping into her voice, " and tell me *exactly* what happened to you two." Mamoru carefully laid her down, and sat down beside her so her head was on his lap. 'She looks so peaceful, almost older.' He could feel a tremendous about of energy eminating from her. "Well, it's like this..." he continued on telling her the sory. usagi stirred a couple of times, but she remained unconcious. Luna looked thoughtful. "You said she gave you part of her power... I remember her saying that she had to do that to the scouts as well. Perhaps the energy is so great that it's making her sick." Usagi stirred, "Mamo-chan?" she murmered, her eyes fluttering open. "Usa-ko! Are you ok?" Mamoru cried. He stroked her cheek tenderly as she sighed. "I'm kind of tired," she yawned, "how long was I out?" "About 10 mins," Luna said, hopping up beside them. "It's getting pretty late, perhaps you should sleep tonight and we'll see the queen tomorrow." "Yeah," Usagi said, starting to stand up, "I'll just, Woah!" she cried, as the room began to spin. "Careful sweetheart," Mamoru carefully grabbed her and lifted her into his arms. "You're not going anywhere without me until this is all resolved." She snuggled into his arms and fell back asleep as he carried her up into her room. ********************************************************************** Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter up.
