PG13?

Disclaimer: Hmm...who owns Sailor Moon and Gundam Wing? Do I?
*reads something and gets a saddened look* Ok, so I don't. But
if I did...I certainly wouldn't be here right now. I'd be far, far
away. Somewhere where there isn't school and my computer wouldn't
go down like it did. Stupid computer..*sniff*..but I have it back!
Whoo-hoo!! Ok, so what was I talking about? Oh yeah, my disclaimer!
I don't own Sailor Moon and/or Gundam Wing. Those rights are to
their own creators. But I did make this story! ^_^

Author's Notes: I'm back! And I have this new chapter out for you!
Plus, my computer is back! Just hope nothing else will go wrong with it!
-_-;; What sucks is that school is back! The horror! The horror!
Ahhh!! Who knows when I'll post the next
chapter up for you? Those evil teachers! I received my schedule and
I got word that they are all hard teachers..*ack* how am I to live?
*sigh* Now I'm getting really nervous but I have this story to help
me to forget! Here goes nothing! Chapter 11 under way!

Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often
when I loved, I did not say so. - David Grayson

Last Time
************
(I just need to keep up my energy and will power. I need to stay alive.
Long enough to...)Serena/Usagi felt the weariness take over again.
(Long enough to..to save the Academy and the innocents.
My people.)Usagi once again fought for her life.
~.~Present Time~.~
What seemed like hours were, in reality, just minutes. During that
time, Usagi managed to figure out which wire was the right one. Or what
she hoped would be the correct one.
(Only one way to find out..)Serena said to herself.
***others***
"Ok..let's get this over with.."the others were thinking to themselves.
Duo was ready to go and so were Wufei, Trowa, and Heero. Quatre also
was getting tired of waiting.
Hotaru, just got hers figured out and was now waiting for the call.
(What is this? I'm feeling a deep pain inside of me, but I can't place
the right finger onto what it is...It hurts though, very much so..)Hotaru
contemplated.
************
Outside
***********
"All set to go,"an officer told a man.
He just nodded and pulled his hat over his head and his coat around him.
"Are the bombs set?"he whispered to an officer next to him.
"Yes, sir. Mr. Hiba,"the guy saluted.
"And the passenger on the plain?"
"Safe and ready, no one knew who that was."
"Better keep it that way,"Aenon Hiba stated.
The young officer gulped and tried to keep his face steady.
"What of the girl? Usagi Akari? Did you find her?"Aenon inquired.
"The men you've sent out are on it right now, but we must get you to
the shuttle quickly, sir,"the officer stated.
"Very well,"Hiba agreed and proceeded on, walking out onto the open.

"That has to be Aenon Hiba. There are two officers next to him and
a bit taller than the other one...that has to be him,"Commander Tieyou
spoke out.
"I agree with you on that one,"
"As do I."
"Then..who is the one in the helicopter?"wondered Dr. S outloud.
"Don't know..."Dr. H shrugged.
The others were silent, wondering the same thing now.

"Three...two..one.."the pilot announced.
Soon the copter rose high over the ground and made its way out of
site.
(It's over..but not for long..)Aenon Hiba silently told himself.
He watched the Academy building till it was just a single speck
of dot.

*click*
"Ready?"Usagi asked through the communicator.
Her voice was small as she was starting to lose feeling in her legs
and unsure of herself.
"Ready,"the others spoke through.
"Are you alright?"added Hotaru with some concern.
"Why shouldn't I be?"Usagi rustled up some strength to answer the
concerned girl.
"...sorry,"Hotaru apologized.
"Alright then, let's do this,"Duo spoke up.
"In exactly five seconds,"Quatre ordered.
(Five seconds...just five more seconds and all of this will be over)
Usagi blinked away the weariness.
(Mother..give me strength..)prayed Serena/Usagi.
"Four.."
"Three.."
"Two.."
Usagi and the others began to hold wires closer and tighter inbetween
their fingers with the wire cutters.
"One.."
Then at the same time, they all cut it without trouble and without
fail.
"It's over.."Heero spoke through.
"Finally.."Usagi whispered out and felt the last remaining bit
of energy leave her body.
"..Usagi?"Hotaru felt a deep pain stab at her heart.
No answer came.
"Usagi?"Hotaru tried again.
This time, her heart sank deeper. A feeling of loss made its way, only
making the ache worsen.
"Oh..no.."Hotaru murmered and rose up from her position.
Sensing trouble, the others left and ran toward Usagi's area.
"What's going on?"Milliardo and Relena wondered, seeing six of them
pass the hallway.
(Princess...please..)Hotaru hoped.
Opening the door, she gasped and tears welled up within her eyes.
"No..oh, gods no.."Hotaru uttered and flung toward the girl.
Blood was spilled near her body, her eyes starting to close.
"No! Don't you dare!"Hotaru shouted.
The five pilots entered as well. Most of them weren't even fazed by
the scene which greeted them.
"Oh my.."Relena was a bit shocked, seeing that one of her students
were shot.
"Serena..."Hotaru whispered.
"I'll...be..back.."Usagi began to close her eyes,"..sorry."
Then her skin paled and her eyes were closed.
"...my friend, we'll meet agan. Count on it,"Hotaru sighed and wiped
her tears that made its way down her cheek.
"You called her Serena..why?"Trowa wondered.
"..It's her other name,"Hotaru answered, not turning around to face
them.
"I'm sorry,"Duo put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Don't be, she'll be back..she always comes back,"Hotaru sounded a bit
more confident and sure of herself.
They didn't say anything though.
(How can she come back? She's dead.)the others noted within their head.
"We still have Hiba to stop and those bases,"Hotaru reminded them.
She stood up and began to face them with a calm and collected face.
"We should go now,"Hotaru stated.
So they all left, out of the door until only Hotaru was left. Before
she closed the door, she turned around.
On the ground, Serena/Usagi began to glow a golden light. Then the
Silver Crystal appeared over her, pulsing a white color. The golden
light broke into thousands of sparkling dust with mixtures of silver
and pink, gathering and entering the crystal.
When it was over, nothing was left that the girl, known as Usagi Akari
was ever there.
"Come back soon, Princess.."Hotaru whispered out and closed the door
in back of her.
***************
A.H. bases are set around the planet of 300 bases.
Locations: United States: 50 England: 50
Africa: 50 Sanq Kingdom: 50
Brazil: 50 Sahara Desert: 50
All bases are in and secured.

"Ok, we'll need to deal with these bases. While at it, kill Aenon
Hiba,"Quatre stated.
"Yeah,"Duo nodded.
"Since..Usagi isn't here..I'll take her place. That way we can
deal with the six bases evenly,"Hotaru spoke up.
"Yes, but it will be easier if.."began Duo when a knock sounded out
on the door.
Trowa got up to answer it and when he did, all of their eyes were on
the entrance of the doorway. Right in front of them were the doctors
with a woman at the center. Dr. J, H, S, O, G, and M.
"We see that you've managed to stop the bombs from going off, that's
good,"nodded J.
"Where's 06?"asked Dr. M.
"06?"mimicked Duo.
"The sixth pilot, also known as Usagi Akari,"Dr. M told them.
"She didn't tell us she was a Gundam Pilot. She only told us that
she knew you guys,"Quatre sounded out.
"Who are you, onna?"demanded Wufei.
Dr. M glared at Wufei and said,"I'm Dr. M. The one who trained
06."
"She's dead, Dr. M,"Heero told her in his monotone.
"I see..."Dr. M nodded in acceptance.
"We have a mission for you,"Dr. J spoke up.
At once, they were silent and waited for the doctor to continue.
"Take the placed bombs and dispose of it, after that. Go and find
information on where Aenon Hiba will be landing. You all know that he
managed to escape with the money and a shuttle. Find out where his next
location is,"Dr. G ordered.
"What of the six bases?"inquired Hotaru, handing Dr. M the piece of
paper.
Her maroon eyes travelled across the paper and folded it up and into her
side pocket.
"We'll see..but right now this is what we want you to deal with,"Dr. M
stated.
The five doctors turned to stare at their fellow comrade but kept quiet.
Hotaru nodded and made her way to sit down on the couch.
"Mission: Accepted,"Heero said and was soon followed by the others,
except for Hotaru.
Dr. M and the others gazed down at her who stared right back up.
"What happens once his whereabouts are found?"Hotaru inquired.
"Then report to us,"Dr. M answered.
Hotaru nodded her head and said,"I accept."

That night, Heero walked over to the window to stare at the half moon
among the stars. His eyes were still cold and hard, his face emotionless.
But inside his heart, it was occupied by pain and grief.
"Serena..."Heero murmered, his eyes flashing with warmth and then
sorrow.
(I don't know why or how this happened but...I think I fell in love
with you.)Heero admitted to himself.
(But I was too late...too late to tell you how I felt.)
Heero closed his eyes and just let the moon's rays shine down on him,
somehow giving him comfort.

****************
The next day, Relena announced that because of what happened she will
allow everyone to go home and be with their families for a month. Once
that was said, everyone ran off and began packing.
"HEEERRROOOO!!"Relena's high pitch scream rang down the hall, followed
by a clicking of high heels.
"Aww..no.."Duo gave an exasperated sigh once he heard Relena coming
their way.
Hotaru patted Duo's shoulder in agreement and shook her head.
"What do you want, Relena?"Heero asked in a tired way of monotone.
"Heero!"Relena launched herself into his arms but was roughly pushed
away.
"What do you want, Relena?"Heero asked again with a bit of warning.
"Well...since we have a month off, we can go to my place and get to
know one another better,"Relena purred, tracing her index finger on his
chest.
"No,"Heero said coldly.
"But.."Relena began.
"No,"Heero stated firmly and coldly in monotone, giving her his death
glare.
"Besides, we have some place else to go,"Hotaru told her.
"Oh? Where?"Relena asked, wanting to know where her Heero was going.
"If we tell you, we'll have to kill you,"Trowa said, from the wall.
"Actually...that isn't such a bad idea.."Duo had a glint in his eyes
and was about to open his mouth when Hotaru snapped his mouth shut
with her hand.
After a few more seconds, Quatre finished with the last remaining bomb
in the school and disposed of it with some help from Trowa.
"There, all done,"Quatre stated.
Relena once more launched herself onto Heero from the back. Trying
to convince him to stay with her.
"Relena, please. Get a hold of yourself,"Hotaru sweatdropped.
(She's worse than Serena when she was still young...)Hotaru noticed.
"Miss Relena! You have a phone call from one of the ministers in
Africa,"a secretary came striding up.
Relena released her grip and straightened out her jacket and dress, gave
Heero a sly smile and went off down the hall.
"She's a bit..uhmm.."started Hotaru.
"psychopathic?"
"..a stalker?"
"lunatic?"
"crazy?"
"Uhh..well, those do fit but I was about to say is that she's...well.
Let's just say she doesn't get it. It's obvious that Heero doesn't have
the same feelings that she has for him,"Hotaru said.
"You just noticed that?"Duo querked an eyebrow.
"....."Hotaru had a waterdrop on her forehead. ^^;
"Let's get going,"Heero announced and grabbed his duffle bag.
The others followed suit and soon left the academy without any hassle
aside from earlier on.

"Hey guys, found out where Hiba is,"Hotaru's voice spoke up.
"Where is he?"Duo asked.
"...L3 Colony,"Hotaru told them.
"What location of the Colony? Do you know?"Wufei asked.
Hotaru's eyes tavelled around the screen for several seconds, then
she clicked something.
"...near the Central Station, I think. There's a Circus arriving
there in a few days,"Hotaru told them.
"...Cathrine,"Trowa murmered.
"Who's Cathrine?"Hotaru wondered.
"His sister. She's in the circus that's coming into the Central
Station area of the L3 Colony,"Quatre told her.
"We should get going for that Colony,"Wufei said and walked out
of the door.
***************
"Sir, we've received word that the bomb hasn't gone off and Usagi
Akari is dead,"a nearby officer informed him.
"Dead?"Aenon Hiba said.
"Yes, sir,"the officer nodded, a bit unsure.
"Hmm..go now,"Hiba waved him off.
The officer did as he was told and left the room, leaving him by
himself. Then Aenon picked up an envelope on the side table near him
and opened it up.
Name: Serena Tsukino
Parents: Ikuko and Kenji Tsukino (((AN: Not sure if spelled right.)))
Siblings: Sammy a.k.a Shingo Tsukino
Pet: Black cat
Blood Type: O-
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Crystal Blue
Nationality: Japanese
Year of Birth: Unknown..knowledge of information lost in a fire.
Year of Death: Unknown
Other information: After her high school career, nothing much
was said of her.

After reading the paper, Hiba put it down on the table and picked
up another sheet.
(this Neo-Queen Serenity and Sailor Moon..hmm)Hiba noted.

Sailor Moon was a legendary warrior of love and justice. With long
golden hair and crystal blue eyes. Whenever one was in trouble and
needed help, Sailor Moon would be there and conquer over evil. For
several years she righted wrongs and protected the innocent but then
she seemingly disappeared after the thousand year sleep. Maybe it was
because she was no longer needed once Neo-Queen Serenity showed up
or maybe she died from the ice that covered the land. Whatever was the
reason, we do know this. She will return one day to protect those who
needs her help.

(Not much information, but the golden hair and blue eyes are similar
to Serena Tsukino and Usagi Akari..)Hiba said to himself.

Neo-Queen Serenity was and is a justly and kind ruler. After freeing
the citizens all over the world from the deep sleep they were put in, she
became ruler of the world and the universe with her husband, Neo-King
Endymion, by her side. Her protectors, the Sailor Scouts, became Queen
over their planets: Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune, and Pluto. For centuries no harm came to them and so they lived
a peaceful life in that Golden Age as peace reigned on. Then soon, the
Queens of the other planets started to die but no trouble came out
of it.
After awhile, Neo-Queen Serenity passed her throne to her
daughter. For several more years, the new queen ruled and passed it on
to her daughter who caused the downfall to their kingdom. Nothing much
was known about the whereabouts of the first Neo-Queen, just that she
simply left Earth and went to outerspace.

(How could she rule for centuries? How?)wondered Aenon.

Hopefully the third sheet of paper would explain something about
this.

The story dictates, 1000 years ago was the Silver Millenium on the Moon.
It was a joyous time for everyone. The ruler of the Moon Kingdom was
Queen Serenity and she had one daughter, Princess Serenity. Princess
Serenity had fallen in love with a human Prince from Earth,
Prince Endymion.

Unfortunately a conflict had risen between Earth and the Moon and the
Earthlings were not trusted. This did not help the Prince and Princess's
relationship. They would often have to meet secretly but their
connection grew more and more every time they met.

One night, before the battle against Earth would begin, Serenity
gave her Star Locket to Endymion to make sure she would never forget
him, and what they had together.

Finally the time came when the Earthlings attacked.
The Prince fought on the side of the Moon to protect his love.
This fight came to a bitter end for the Prince and the Princess
were both killed by the hands of Queen Beryl, who led the Negaforce from
Earth. Fortunately Queen Serenity was able to destroy the
enemy with the power of her Silver Imperium Crystal and send the
people of the Moon to a new life on future Earth.

(A crystal that could destroy the enemy and send the people to a new life
of another time?)Aenon murmered in his head as he put that paper down.
"A legend though, but it could be possible. She identified herself
as all these people...this crystal though...it holds great power.
Great power indeed,"mumbled Aenon to himself.
(The crystal. I think I've heard of it before. Somewhere, from long
ago...but where?)Hiba put his hand to his head.
"It's been so long...that I can't remember everything...all these
stories are familiar too,"Aenon Hiba stated and opened a drawer from
his desk.
Unwrapping a bundle from the desk he held a type of jewel or stone,
the color of teal mixed with a rainbow color that swirled around in
a sparkling dust at the center. It was the shape of a very small
obelisk, that reached up to the size of an index finger. Hiba held
it inside his fist and closed his eyes, as if it gave him strength or
newfound energy or power. For several seconds he stayed in one position,
then put it back in its original state.
"Better, now if this Usagi Akari or Serena is dead. I'm sure she'll
still be around...sooner or later. She holds a great jewel from the
legends....Serena wouldn't die so easily with such power,"Aenon smirked
and turned around to the window, staring at the clear blue sky.

To be continuedl..

Yes, it's a bit shorter than the other chapters but I had a lot of
writer's block while making this chapter. The next chapter may not
be out in awhile because of school but I'll do my best to get it done.
Please Review! ^_^ And sorry for any errors that may be on this page.
