This is the epilogue of the Moon Revenge saga. This was my first major project. I’m so happy
that so many have read my story and you all have inspired me so much. For more really good
Sailor Moon fanfics please visit my site: Untold Legends Of The Crystal Archive – www.geocities.com/hime_venus/untold_legends_central.html. You all have been great!
As an answer to all those questions here it goes. (1) Yes I don think that Ami’s
relationship with Zoi works out better if Zoi is made a man. (2) I didn’t include the rest of the
Outer senshi because the mass amount of characters would cause some to be overlooked, plus
I had no real place for them in the story. It was hard enough working Pluto in. (3) Yes it is
possible that I might branch off from this story involving the senshi and their counterparts.
Well that’s it! Bunches of thanks for all of your help and support! Keep Reading! Keep Writing! ^_-
Moon Revenge
Part 15 - The Way We Are
By Michi-chan
~Week One~
“Nervous?” Nephrite asked, taking Makoto’s hand. She squeezed his hand showing
her appreciation. The bench was cool as a result of the air conditioner in the building.
“A bit, but I’m glad that we’re going to make this official,” she said smiling. He
nodded and stared straight ahead. The courthouse seemed empty today, or maybe he didn’t
notice much because he was too busy thinking about how he would make Makoto happy.
Their names were called and they entered a small room. The judge sat behind a small desk
and took a sip of water. Makoto and Nephrite took up two pens that were on the desk and
the judge handed them two papers.
“What last name will you go under?” he asked. Nephrite looked a bit disgruntled.
He didn’t have a name to give to Makoto. Since he hadn’t been born with a family on earth
like Mako he never received one.
“Kino. We’ll us my last name…” she smiled at him. “We share everything.”
~Week Two~ <
Minako scribbled words on the many forms she had to fill out. While she had
been out all of her work had been piled sky high. Once she came up with a believable story
to tell her chief of why she was missing she offered to make up some of her work in her sick
bed. She yawned and stretched, wincing a bit. She tenderly touched the bandages around her
waist. Her battle scars still hurt, but she was really glad that everyone was all right.
“Moi! You work too much Minako-chan,” came a familiar voice. Minako smiled
at Usagi’s sunshine face peeking in her door.
“Hello to you too Usagi-chan.” Minako giggled as Makoto, Ami and Rei filed in
behind Usagi.
“I brought you a treat from my restaurant,” Makoto said holding up a small bento
box. “Sorry it’s so small but the hospital folks throw hissy fits when you bring food from the
outside world.” She winked.
“That’s ok Mako-chan, the food here is terrible, except for the pudding,” Minako
said reaching for the bento box.
“We herd that you’ll be out in about two days,” Ami said.
“Yep.” Minako paused. “Usagi… Look, I’m sorry I-” Minako stopped when
Usagi shook her head.
“Look, it wasn’t anyone’s fault. In the end everything turned out good.”
“Ah, that’s just like you Usagi-chan, always so optimistic,” Rei huffed, but her smile
gave her away. Minako laughed.
“So tell me minna, how is everyone?” Minako asked as she started to eat her bento.
“Well Makoto and Nephrite made their marriage legal last week,” Usagi piped.
“Usagi!” Makoto said, blushing. They laughed.
“Jedite’s moving in with Rei, and they’re reopening the Shinto shrine.”
“I could have told her that Usagi,” Rei said crossing her arms.
“Ami’s gonna go back to school and Zocite’s gonna help her by taking over her
old job so she can go to school full time.”
“It’s no big deal,” Ami blushed.
“As for me, Mamo-chan and I are having our wedding ceremony in a few weeks.”
“Ah that’s great!” Minako grinned, finishing up her bento.”
“Oh and be brought a surprise for you Minako-chan,” Rei said. The inner senshi
began to creep out of the room when a tall man with silver hair dressed in a long sleeved shirt,
gray pants, and black blazer. Minako’s breath caught in her throat and she almost choked on
the last bite of her bento. The girls giggled and quickly left.
“M...Matta,” Minako called as Usagi waved goodbye and closed the door. Minako
looked back up at Kunzite’s serene face. He looked tired but calm as he stood at the edge of the
bed, but his eyes threatened to shed tears. Minako’s throat seemed to tighten and no matter how
hard she tried she couldn’t produce a single sound. Her body was completely paralyzed. Kunzite
slowly sat down on the bed and gazed into her eyes. Finally emotion overwhelmed him.
“Gomen…” and with that her leaned over giving her a passionate kiss, exposing all his
bottled up emotions.
~Week Three~
“Yes, yes, you looked very familiar,” said Rei’s grandfather. Rei shook her head in
exasperation as the elderly man examined Jedite closely. The renovation of the shrine had already
begun and her guardian had insisted on overseeing the work with her.
“Hai, it’s me ojii-san,” Jedite said, a bit annoyed when Grandfather pulled on his shirt.
“Well I figure you can start courting my granddaughter when she turns thirty or so.
You’re a nice young man. I knew you were ever since we found you in the rain that day,” he pondered.
“Grandpa!” Rei said blushing,
“Hey old man, Rei and I are already gonna marry and have a bus load of kids, but if you
don’t get off my shirt you won’t live to see ’em.”
“Jedite!” Rei turned a deeper shade of red.
“W…what!” Her grandfather reeled back then decided to attack Jedite, but the younger
man just evaded each blow.
“Stop it you too! Jedite cut it out! Grandpa you’re going to hurt yourself!” Rei yelled, but
they fell on deaf ears. She sighed and smiled despite herself. She knew that she had a few years of
happiness left. She smiled up at the sun, warming her skin and caught sight of Phoebus and Demos
flying overhead. She finally felt complete.
~Week Four~
Warm arms wrapped around Ami as the cool evening air set in She settled down and
leaned against Zoicite’s warm body. Tomorrow she would start her classes so she could finally do
what she always wanted.
“Ami, tell me something,” Zoicite spoke. Ami turned and looked into those lovely
green eyes.
“Sure,” she said simply.
“What made you stop?”
“Stop what?”
“School. You know, to be a child doctor.”
“Oh.” Ami looked over out at the setting sun. “Well I was in school, but I had some
doubts about myself. I wondered, in a real life situation, would I really be able save a person’s life.
Then when Usagi was taken… I didn’t think I was strong enough.”
“But you are.”
“I know that now,” Ami sighed and smiled as he gently pressed a kiss on the top of her
head.
~Week Five~
Usagi yawned, stretched, and then curled up next to Mamoru on the couch. She
thought deeply about the event, which happened over a month ago. She had stabbed Rinko and
saw her body disappear and turn into a white light. Had she imagined Rinko saying ‘Sorry’ and
‘Thank You’? She knew that Rinko could never really die. She was the spirit of the Moon and
lived inside every descendent. Rinko had believed that she only had direct descendents then she
could live forever, she was wrong. It took everyone person to keep the spirit of their planet alive.
There would always be descendents of Earth, the moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus,
Neptune, Saturn and even Pluto.
“What are you thinking Usako?” Mamoru asked, squeezing her in a bittersweet embrace.
“Mamo-chan, do you think the generals will live through the great sleep. I mean will
I be able reawaken them as well when Crystal Tokyo emerges.” There was a long silence.
“I don’t know Usako. You might, but no one can sure of those things.” Mamoru sighed
gently caressed her slightly swelled stomach.
“I wonder how Gaia is doing?” Usagi wondered, kissing her husband.
“I’m sure that, like us, she’s doing just fine.”
~The Catacombs Deep in the Earth~
Lady Conie Gaia IV smiled. Sunlight poured through an opening of the cavern roof.
Surrounded by flowers that grow all around the world she relished the feeling of the happy
emotions from the people of the earth. She loved this feeling. She now had the healthy ambition of
Earthia and the serenity and grace of Gaia III. Now and forever she would watch over the children
of the earth.
Deep within her mind she knew no loneliness. She only felt content and she made a
not to herself to visit her friends as often as she could. She would continue to change the seasons
and make the snow and rain fall from the sky. She could continue to make the winds blow and she
would make the flowers grow across the world. Never would she hate her own planet, nor it’s
people. Forever in her mind she would remember the day the Moon took Revenge.
~~ Miles away, on the moon, Rinko’s spirit sleeps, cradled deep within.~~
