“You have failed again!” Validaria screamed at her minions. Falon, Drakala, Malore and all the Darklings screamed in pain and fell to the ground, clutching their heads. Validaria sent a second wave of energy through the dimension, punishing her followers for their incompetence.
“But we are close, my Queen! We have found the spot where the Senshi are gathering!” Malore groveled after weakly climbing to his feet and kneeling again.
“No redemption this time!” Validaria bellowed. “To rule this universe, we must have Star Seeds and if the Senshi keep awakening, then this will never happen!”
“Not if we can stop the Princess from awakening. I have found her, but I know that the Sailor Scouts are on to her as well. I will take Drakala and Falon with me this time. Together we can defeat them!” Malore boasted.
Validaria nodded reluctantly. “Now be gone! Your presence sickens me.” The three warriors bowed and quickly left the throne room to prepare for the attack. I should have performed this undertaking myself! But no matter. They are expendable.

Luna excitedly activated the communication device in the Control Room. She waited for a few seconds, then was greeted by the mysterious face of Sailor Pluto.
“What have you found, Luna?”
“I have found her! I found the Moon Princess!!!” Luna reported with rapture.
Pluto’s eyes opened wide with excitement. “You have?! This is excellent! I have finished teaching Venus and Jupiter all that I can and I will work with Mars now.” Pluto paused, then asked, “Any word on Mercury?”
Luna silently smacked herself for not saying anything about Noin. “I have secured her. She is exactly who you predicted,” Luna confirmed. “She and the Princess are in the Sanc Kingdom. I haven’t revived Sailor Moon’s memory yet,” Luna added quickly.
Pluto thought for a second, then responded, “That’s fine. It would be best if all four of the others were there first anyway. I will bring Mars with me and we will meet you at the Sanc Kingdom in three days. See you then Luna. And bring a communicator with you. I’ll contact you ” Pluto ended the conversation and Luna stared at the blank screen for a few seconds before turning it off.
Three days huh? I’ll need to find something to do before then. I’ll go to the Sanc Kingdom and stay there for now.
The next morning, Luna took her bag and left her hotel in Tokyo. Catching a late afternoon flight, she arrived later that evening in the Sanc Kingdom. She found a fairly small, inconspicuous hotel at the edge of the capitol, hoping to avoid any incidences which might occur while she was around. Luna walked into the small single room and thought about what to do. She set her bag down on the bed and left to get dinner.
Luna found a small little diner near the hotel that served “classic” cuisine, food that Luna recognized from late 20th, early 21st century food. Hmmm… A hamburger sounds kinda good actually, Luna thought, acknowledging that she hadn’t eaten much in the last 24 hours. Luna ordered a burger and sat at a vintage leather booth. Feels like old times, Luna smiled. As she waited, she noticed a man, concealed in a brown trench coat, slip into the diner and near the back. Shortly after her food arrived, a second person, dressed in similar manner to the first, came into the diner and sat across from the other figure.
Wait, they smell familiar… Lucrezia and… Heero? Luna thought with surprise. I thought she was with Milliardo. A secret liaison?
“So what should I do?” Luna hear Noin whisper. Luna’s cat-like hearing aloud her to eavesdrop on them without getting too close. She focused on eating her burger and listening in at the same time.
“I don’t know. We can’t really tell anyone about, well, you know,” Heero replied.
“Now I know what you Gundam pilots must have felt like. I don’t feel right about keep this secret from Milliardo though.”
“We need to keep this one under control. Maybe that cat will show up again. What was its name?”
“I think she said Luna. Like ‘moon.’ I wish I knew where to find her. I looked all over the palace but there was no sign of her.”
“Let’s get some food. I have no idea what to do and I’m too hungry to think.” Heero ended the conversation and waved over a waitress, shedding his disguise. Noin followed suit and they ordered a meal.
Luna decided that she had heard enough, finished her food, paid, and left. So they want to tell Milliardo huh? That’s no good… Luna went back to her room and settled in for the night.
The second day passed uneventfully. Luna just waited for Pluto to contact her, hoping that nothing would happen. On the third day, Luna went for a walk through the city, getting to know the streets and the buildings, just in case she needed a quick escape. As she studied the town, she noticed the rising tide of energy.
The Silver Crystal is energizing already, Luna realized. Her walk ultimately brought her to the palace. The Silver Crystal is in there. If we can activate that… I should check on Noin. I know she wants my help. Luna quickly moved out of sight and changed into her feline form, making sure the crescent on her forehead showed proudly. Waiting until someone left the palace, she slipped through the open door and made her way to Noin’s room, only to find it empty. Luna waited there, hoping that Noin would return soon. After some time, Noin finally returned, alone, finding Luna sitting on the bed, waiting for her.
“You!” Noin exclaimed. “You’re that cat!”
“Yes. I am Luna. I over heard you at the diner with Heero last night. I have come to help you,” Luna told Noin.
Noin looked thankfully at Luna and rushed over to the bed, kneeling down to eye level with Luna. “So what do you know?”
Luna thought carefully about what to say before she began. She told Noin about the Moon Kingdom, much like she had done with Hirde, then told Noin what was going on. “You were hidden away with new identities to protect your powers. When the war started, Usagi decided that it was too dangerous to keep you activated, so she and Sailor Pluto used their powers to alter history. Unfortunately, the time has come to reactivate you. A new enemy has appeared and now is the time to create the miracles that must come to pass. I cannot tell you what they are, but you will know soon enough.”
Noin sat back, dumbfounded, trying to make sense of it all. “So who am I?”
“Your name is Mizuno Ami. You are Sailor Mercury, wielder of the powers of water and ice,” Luna said. It had never occurred to her that Noin, the other Scouts, would have a hard time accepting the truth.
Noin looked seriously at Luna, then weakly, ghostly, asked, “What about Milliardo?”
Luna knew what Noin was worried about. “I don’t know. I don’t know much about the future,” Luna said.
Noin wasn’t sure whether to be relieved or to cry. But she decided that that was for another time. She was still having trouble grasping the story that Luna had laid out for her. The idea that she didn’t actually exist and that her memories were false and created to fit the world was just insane to her.
“I need to be alone,” Noin said to Luna. Luna nodded and hopped off the bed, trotting to the door.
“Wait!” Noin called. Luna waited and turned to look at Noin. “What does Heero have to do with this?”
“I have no idea,” Luna answered truthfully. “There are things that even I don’t know about. You’ll have to ask Pluto about it. She knows more about this than I do.”
“Who is the Moon Princess?”
Luna looked straight at Noin, using a look that was strong and powerful. “Relena. Relena Darlian.” Leaving a gaping Noin behind, Luna turned and left.
Luna returned to her hotel room, knowing that things would be tough in the palace for the next few hours. Pluto should be contacting me soon. As if on cue, Luna’s communicator sounded.
“Moshi moshi?”
“We’re here. Where are you?” Pluto asked. Luna gave her the name of the hotel and the room number, then waited for Pluto and the others to arrive.

Relena finished up some paperwork in her office. It sure is nice to be able to take a break. With the economic meetings finished and the report on the Mars Terra Forming project given, I can finally get some rest. Relena flinched at the thought of the Mars project, knowing that her brother had nearly gone mad while working on it. I’ll have to get a new crew. Milliardo is clearly not in a position to go back. Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door.
“Come in,” Relena said.
Lady Une stepped into her office, bowing.
“Lady Une! What a pleasant surprise.”
“I have come to check on business here.”
“Well, welcome,” Relena said, standing to greet Une. “Oh please, sit down!” Relena said, offering her a chair.
“So how have things been here?” Une asked.
“Very well.” Relena explained to Une how things had been in the last year since the incident with Merimeia. She also told her about Milliardo’s ravings about aliens and such.
“It unnerving to hear about Milliardo. A pilot of his caliber shouldn’t have had any problems with space madness,” Une said plainly, hinting that she had felt badly for Milliardo.
“How are the Preventers? Is funding adequate? Do you need more man power?” Relena asked.
Une laughed. “The Preventers organization is fine. There have been no uprisings against the World Nation, so Sally, Wu Fei, myself and Merimeia can handle it for now. I would have let you known if something was needed,” she said with a smile.
“Of course,” Relena replied, politely smiling in return. “How is Merimeia doing?”
Une looked sad. “It is definite that she won’t walk again. The trauma she suffered was too great,” Lady Une said grimly. “But she is fine otherwise. She is so like Treize.” Treize... I miss you so much. “She has come with me on this trip. She wanted to see you again.”
“Really? Well, I would love to see her!” Relena said. “Are you staying long?” Relena asked, changing topics.
“A few days. Merimeia gets exhausted easily and needs a few days to rest,” Une said.
“Then by all means, stay here!” Relena stood and indicated for Une to follow. “Now where is Merimeia? I’d like to see her again.”
* * *
“It’s good to see you!” Dorothy said, scooping Luna into her arms and scratching her head. Luna mewed, then she and Dorothy, seeing the Aren’t-You-A-Sucker look that the others were giving them, straightened themselves.
Dusk had just set in, the moon rising into the sky and the last brilliant colors of light flaring across the horizon slowly fading. “The time has come to free the Princess!” Setsuna announced. “Our destiny is at hand. I have trained you three as well as I can and now it is time to make it count. Doubtlessly, the enemy has already found us and is on the way. They’re very quick. So once we awaken the Princess, we will have to hurry to find Uranus and Neptune.” Setsuna looked at the three women and their Knights. “There is one more thing. We have to find the future Princess. Serenity’s daughter was transformed as well. We will have to find her to complete the cycle of events.” She closed her eyes and smiled at the ground, then looked up. “Let’s go.”
Setsuna, Cathrine, Dorothy, Hirde, Trowa, Quatre and Yuuichirou waited outside the palace until someone answered their knocking. When finally let in, Setsuna asked to be taken straight to Relena, followed by the two cats, while the others asked to be taken to Noin.
“Noin!” Dorothy called, standing in the doorway to Noin’s room.
“Dorothy! What are you doing here?” Noin looked up in shock from the bed where she had been reading.
“We’ve come to talk to you about something very important,” Quatre replied, pushing Dorothy through the door. Cathrine, Trowa, Hirde and Yuuichirou followed them in.
“What are all of you doing here? And who are you?” Noin asked, looking at Cathrine, Hirde and Yuuichirou.
“Mya name is Cathrine. Cathrine Bloom. I am Sailor Jupiter!” Cathrine said, putting her arm around Trowa.
“Hi , I’m Hirde, Sailor Mars.” Hirde said, bowing. She pointed to Yuuichirou, saying, “And this is Yuuichirou, my Knight.”
Noin stared at the six people standing in her room, not sure what to say. “You? You’re the others?” was all she managed to squeak out.
“Yes we are. And we have come to bring you and the Princess to fight,” Dorothy said, her composure showing that she was clearly in charge. “Where’s your Knight?”
“Knight? Oh, you mean Heero,” Noin said, not quite remembering everything at first.
“Heero is the Knight!?” Quatre asked. “That’s strange, another Gundam pilot,” he said to himself.
“Well, come. I’ll take you to him,” Noin told the group, indicating to follow her as she made her way to the door. She led the group down the hall and to a door near the far end. She pushed open the door and had the others go in ahead of her. The room was dark, hiding everything from view. Suddenly, Hirde became wide-eyed and she looked around quickly. “Something’s wrong. Who…” Then she turned to look at Noin.
Noin’s eyes glowed an evil red color, her face twisting into a sinister grin. She started to chuckle, then laughed hysterically as the lights in the room lit up to reveal a bound and gagged Noin against the wall opposite the door, Heero and Milliardo slumped at her side.
“Who are you!?!” Cathrine shouted at the evil Noin. Noin’s skin seemed to split in half and slide off, leaving Drakala behind.
Drakala extended her arm in front of her, then blasted the group and sent them flying. Hirde was first to recover, raising her hand above her head, creating a paper scroll in her fingers, and shouted, “AKURYO TAISAN!!!” She threw the scroll at Drakala, hitting her square in the face. Drakala screamed, but the scroll quickly burned away.
“Damn! She’s gotten stronger!” Hirde swore.
“And I know your magics! Try this on for size!” Her wand appeared in her hand and she blasted Hirde with a bolt of lightening. Hirde’s body froze and she was unable to move.
Yuuichirou was by her side in an instant, trying to get between Drakala and the frozen Senshi. Trowa flipped across the room, grabbed a lamp, and chucked it at Drakala. The lamp shattered when it hit, knocking Drakala down. Quatre and Cathrine charged Drakala, sending her flying backwards. Trowa slung Noin over his shoulder, Yuuichirou grabbed Milliardo, and Dorothy, surpassing everyone’s expectations, effortlessly put Heero on her back as Hirde recovered and they fled from the room. Drakala sent wave after wave of fire down the hall after the retreating warriors, but Hirde simply turned and stopped the fire. She smirked mockingly at Drakala and resumed running.
“Where are we going?” Cathrine shouted up to Dorothy who seemed to be leading the group.
“Relena’s room!” she shouted over her shoulder. “We’ve got to get the Princess and get out of here!”
The group turned a corner and came face-to-face with a HUGE flight of stairs. “Oh boy,” Yuuichirou groaned.
“Take it like a man,” Dorothy jested as she started up the stairs. “Relena’s room is on the third floor near the back. Let’s go.” Hold on Princess.
* * *
Setsuna walked through the door to Relena’s room, finding that the Princess was not alone.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?” Relena demanded.
“I am Meioh Setsuna and I have been waiting for this moment for a long time,” Setsuna said as she kneeled before Relena. Luna and Artemis sat by Setsuna’s side. “Who is this girl?” she asked Relena, indicating her visitor.
“This is Merimeia Khushrenada. She is the former King’s daughter. Now what do you want with me?” Relena demanded again. “And get those cats out of here!”
Pluto looked at Merimeia for a moment who looked back as if she was remembering something, not sure what was going through her mind, then realized what this situation meant. Merimeia’s mind cleared at the same moment and they smiled at each other. “It is good that both of you are here. This cuts down the search time. You, Relena Darlian, are the Moon Princess.”
Relena looked at Setsuna with disbelief. Is EVERYONE mad?! There are no princesses the Moon! She opened her mouth to speak when Setsuna interrupted her.
“There aren’t now, Ms. Relena. But there WERE. A great kingdom once existed there, but it was destroyed long ago,” Setsuna explained. “Do you not remember?” she asked when Relena said nothing.
“How? How did you know…”
“I can read minds. I am Sailor Pluto, guardian of the Gate of Time. And I am to protect and serve you. Both of you.”
“Both of us? What’s she,” Relena indicated Merimeia, “Got to do with this?”
Merimeia smiled at Relena, hoping to calm her down. “It’s okay ma, er, Ms. Relena. Setsuna is telling the truth. Just remember…” Relena turned an incredulous look at Merimeia, about to berate her for listening to Setsuna’s madness when Setsuna cut in again.
“She’s right, Princess. Just remember the truth.” This is going to be harder than I thought… Of course she would have hidden herself the most.
The door suddenly flew open and the others burst into the room. “They’re here!” Quatre shouted. Setsuna instantly caught his meaning.
“Damn! Then we have no time to waste!” Setsuna said as she stood. She turned back to Relena. “You have to trust us. You have no choice. Quickly, call the Silver Crystal!”
At the mention of the words ‘Silver Crystal’ Relena remembered something. What it meant for sure she didn’t know, but she seemed to remember something about a ‘Silver Crystal’ being important. She quickly dismissed the thought and turned on the people barging into her room.
“Who gave you permission to be in here? Get out!” Relena shouted. “Especially you!” she shouted at Setsuna. Suddenly, a rumble filled the room. The rumble grew in pitch and volume, turning into evil cackles.
“Now we have you!” a voice boomed.
“Falon,” Cathrine said, a hint of danger in her voice.
“Time to die!” a second voice hissed.
“Drakala! She’s back!” Hirde whispered.
“Come! Come and meet your doom!” a third voice announced.
“Malore’s here too!” Dorothy gasped.
The room began to waver like an illusion, fading in and out, until the group was transported to a swirling vortex, much like the Time Tunnel. The space was huge, almost like the ballroom on Venus, but it was made of swirling, dark mist. With a grunt, Trowa set Noin down as Quatre scooted closer to him. Heero groaned and Dorothy set him on his feet, Yuuichirou laying Milliardo next to Noin. Laughter rattled through the room and Setsuna dove to push Relena out of the way of a bolt of energy, which struck the ground where she had stood. Setsuna pushed Merimeia back to the group as Relena followed.
“Where are we?” Cathrine asked.
“A pocket dimension. This place doesn’t exist within real space,” Setsuna answered.
“You are in our world now!” Malore cackled. His voice was all around, reverberating off of every surface.
“Transform!” Setsuna ordered.
Trowa, Quatre and Yuuichirou closed their eyes and drew forth their weapons, transforming into the Knights.
Dorothy raised her crystal into the air and shouted, “VENUS CRYSTAL POWER…”
Cathrine followed suit with her crystal, calling, “JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER…”
Hirde put on hand over her heart, raised her arm and yelled, “MARS CRYSTAL POWER…”
Pluto held her Heart Crystal in the air and called, “PLUTO CRYSTAL POWER…” and in unison with the other girls, the screamed, “MAKE-UP!!!” A huge flash lit the room for a second and Sailors Mars, Jupiter, Pluto and Venus stood proudly.
“Protect the others!” Dorothy commanded. The Scouts and the Knights formed a circle, making sure that nothing could get to Relena and the others. Suddenly, the room filled with fog.
“Damn! I can’t see anyth…” Yuuichirou shouted. His words were cut off by a sudden punch to the stomach and he ‘Oofed’ loudly.
“Yuuichirou!” Hirde shouted from across the circle. Yuuichirou groaned a response, but didn’t seem too hurt.
Noin and Heero stirred in the circle, and seeing the situation, Heero closed his eyes and Noin shouted, “MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE-UP!” They transformed and joined the others in the circle. “What’s going on?” Heero asked.
“We’ve been abducted!” Cathrine replied quickly. She grunted as something hit her upside the head. “HELP!!”
“CATHY!” Trowa yelled. He jumped across the circle to his sister’s side and knelt to help her up. He heard something flapping in the mist and pulled out his belt axe, embedding it into some kind of small bat creature which turned to dust. “Bats?” Suddenly the air was filled with the sound of thousands of tiny wings and the scouts felt little stings all over their bodies.
“What’s going on?” Venus shouted over the flapping.
“There’s an extremely strong evil presence here! It’s trying to get to Relena!” Mars replied.
“CRONOS CYCLONE!” Pluto shouted. She held the Garnet Rod up in the air and a huge tornado surrounded the group and swept the fog and the bats away.
“I’ll try to get a fix on the source!” Mercury said, pulling out her computer and sliding the visor over her eyes. She clicked the buttons on the computer for a few seconds, trying to lock into the source. “Found it! It’s to my right!” she shouted, turning to the right.
“Wh… What’s going on?” Milliardo asked, stumbling to his feet.
“Milliardo! Get down!” Relena shouted as a blast of yellow light streaked through the room. She ran into the path of the beam, closing her eyes to take the blow when suddenly a bright white bubble formed around her body, blocking the blast. The bubble grew in size to surround the group and then exploded through the room. Relena looked around, dumbfounded at what had happened, but the entire area had stilled.
“The Silver Crystal!” Jupiter gasped.
“Now do you believe us? It is your destiny and you must embrace it,” Pluto insisted.
“But, what do I do?” Relena asked.
“You know. Acknowledge it!” Mars urged.
Relena closed her eyes and went back into her mind, deep into her past and looked for the words. What do I do? How do I use this power? Then, like clouds rolling across the sky, she heard the words, so real she thought someone had spoken them. Moon Eternal Power Make-Up… Relena threw her hand into the air and shouted, “MOON ETERNAL POWER, MAKE-UP!!!” Suddenly, a beautiful silver compact appeared in her hand and she felt light flow out of her, light that lit up her soul. She raised off the ground and her clothing glittered away into the outfit of a Sailor Senshi. When she set back down on the ground, a golden crescent, much like the one on Luna’s brow, showing on her forehead. She looked around, not sure what to do, when a hoard of monsters flooded the room.
“Get on it!” Quatre ordered. “CUPID’S STING!” He let fly an arrow of light that pierced through several monsters, reducing them to dust. The others followed behind, waves of water and billows of fire blasting forward, trying to keep the Princess safe. Trowa and Heero let loose blasts of ice and plant mana, striking down many more monsters, but the beasts kept coming.
“We can’t keep this up!” Cathrine yelled. The monsters were getting closer and closer and had nearly knocked several of the warriors down.
“Sailor Moon! Help us!!” Mars shouted to Moon.
“No.” The word seemed to freeze the action. “I will not fight. There is no need to kill.”
“WHAT?!?! Sailor Moon, that’s insane! These things will kill us! They’re not human!” Mercury yelled. She let her guard down for a split second and was knocked down by a rushing Darkling. It charged Sailor Moon, but just before it reached her, Milliardo tackled the creature and wrestled it to the ground.
“Milliardo, what are you doing!?” Relena demanded.
“Saving you! I don’t have magical powers like the others, but I’ll protect you! You’re my sister! I’ll make sure you survive!!” He was still fighting hand-to-hand with the Darkling but was quickly being overpowered. Must protect Relena! I’ll save her!
*Then you might should transform,* a voice inside told him. Milliardo continued to struggle, but turned part of his attention to the voice. *Call the Moon Staff!*
Moon Staff?
*Your weapon! You are the Moon Knight, ya know.*
Milliardo felt the power suddenly flood through his soul and before he knew what was happening, a crescent moon beamed on his chest and a white linen suit formed on his body. A belt with a crescent moon belt buckle formed around his waist and a long flowing cape covered his back. The Darkling he was fighting suddenly turned one of its arms into an axe and just as it swung it down on him, Milliardo raised his hands, a staff forming in between them, blocking the attack. The staff had a large, loopy golden head that had four rings on it, which jingled when the staff moved. Milliardo brought up a counter swing and knocked the Darkling away.
“Now I can protect the Moon Princess!” he shouted. “CRYSTAL STRIKE!!!” He pointed the staff at the Darkling and a thin beam of white light shot out of the end and blasted the monster. Then he turned to Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury scrambled to block the onslaught of Darklings.
“Princess, I am your servant and I must protect you,” he began. “But you have also been given the power to protect yourself. You are stronger than all the rest of us and only you can save this world. It is destiny. Please, help us!” he begged.
Sailor Moon looked down at the Moon Knight, then man who just seconds ago had been her brother, and suddenly, it all clicked. She knew that killing these monsters was different than killing a human. There is no one else that can stop them. It is up to me. She smiled at her Knight and then forced the Moon Tiel to appear. She raised the weapon above her head and shouted, “SILVER MOON CRYSTAL POWER KISS!!” A brilliant flash of light filled the room and obliterated the Darklings. The force of the attack also knocked apart the pocket dimension and caused the three villains to appear.
“You have tried to kill us and destroy this world! There is no excuse for this!” Sailor Moon said very commandingly. “I fight for love and justice! I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! And that means you! In the name of the Moon, I’LL PUNISH YOU!”
“Never! We will win!” Falon shouted.
“Uh, Falon…” Drakala began.
“Shut up, you lazy whore!” Falon screamed at Drakala.
“FINE! DIE!!!” she yelled back, teleporting away.
“Falon, let’s get out of here!” Malore urged, knowing they had been defeated… again… Idiot! We have to go!
“They’re distracted! Knights attack!” Milliardo commanded. The Knights stood in a straight line, summoning up their weapons.
“Power of the Royal bloodlines, we call you now! KNIGHT ATTACK!” The five Knights let loose one big blast of energy which slashed through the area, ripping a path straight at Falon. The attack hit, slicing through him, nearly killing him.
“Ready girls?” Sailor Moon asked.
“Yes,” Mercury replied. The girls stood in a formation with Jupiter and Venus in front, Moon between them and back, and Mars and Mercury on the edge. “MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!”
“MARS CRYSTAL POWER!”
“JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!”
“VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!”
“MOON ETERNAL POWER!”
“SAILOR PLANET ATTACK!!!!” Malore knew that his time was up and fled, leaving Falon behind to take the blast.
“NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!” Falon roared as the attack connected. It blasted through him, tearing away his body. When the attack subsided, Falon had been completely destroyed. The room began to waver again and slowly everything returned to normal. The warriors, Luna, Artemis, and Merimeia were returned to Relena’s bedroom, which was still perfectly intact.
“We have one this day,” Pluto said.
“Thank you for talking some sense into me Milliardo,” Sailor Moon said to her brother.
“I am a Knight now. Milliardo Peacecraft was not a warrior. I am once again Zechs Marquis,” he told her.
“Of course, Zechs,” Mercury said as she took his arm.
“Now THAT was a battle!” Heero said. “Now, let’s get some rest. This was a very LONG day for all of us.”
“Of course. Use any room you like. You’re welcome here as long as you want to stay,” Sailor Moon said. The group reverted to normal and left, leaving Setsuna, Relena, and Merimeia in Relena’s room.
“Good job mama!” Merimeia said to Relena.
“What did you call me?” Relena asked in reply.
Setsuna stepped forward and put her hand on Relena’s shoulder, looking her square in the eye. “Princess, Merimeia is your daughter, Neo-Lady Serenity.”
A few things; first, when I say that part about Noin smiling evily, imagine the scene when Noin is talking to Lady Une and says, "He says to be more graceful Lady Une. More graceful." Second, the Moon Staff looks like Chichiri's staff in FY.
