AN: So in this story it is just newly established that Usagi, Maramo, and Haruka are all soul mates in this time line; yes that does make it an AU but I love the thought of Usagi and Haruka together.
Her Pure Heart
Usagi's P.O.V
Usagi panted softly as all the scouts were released from the death busters spell. Quickly the eternal transformation disappeared; having not enough energy in the young royal's body to sustain it leaving Usagi to collapse to her knees momentarily out of energy
"S-Sailor Moon," Chibiusa rushed forward to the young princess and kneeled beside her in worry, "A-are you okay?" the small pinked haired scout asked, her red eyes wide.
"I-I'm okay," She whispered and moved to get up as a white gloved hand appeared in front of her and pulled her to her feat just as the scouts landed and rushed to the three royals.
"Princess!" Haruka rushed forward and pulled the younger blonde into her arms; cupping Usagi's chin she sighed in relief to see that she was not truly injured just tired, "I am so relieved to see you okay." Usagi gave her a weak smile and leant into the scout's protective touch. Marumo all but growled at the taller blonde, causing Usagi to sigh tiredly; used to her two soul mates constantly being at each other's throats. Carefully she pulled away from Haruka and kneeled in front of Chibiusa
"Chibiusa?" she whispered softly, "Are you okay?" gently she touched the young scout's cheek as the tiny pinkette gave her a watery smile
"I-I hurt H-Hotaru…." Chibiusa whispered tearfully, as she moved to press herself against her future mother, "I-I ran away when s-she needed me," Usagi gave the girl a loving smile and pulled her closer as she comforted the young girl. Chibiusa hid against her chest as she held back her tears
"It will be alright Chibiusa, we will go back and make sure she is okay," Usagi promised her voice soft like a chime; carefully she pulled back and stood up offering the younger girl her hand.
Haruka's P.O.V
I sighed as I watched Usagi; knowing that I would do whatever her young mate asked of her, even if it went against her mission to protect the young monarch. "Allow me to accompany you princess," I whispered as I moved to stand next to the younger blonde; gently taking her hand causing Prince Endymion to growl as a smirk fell onto my face. I simply adored tormenting the man.
Usagi blushed softly, but smiled sweetly up to me, "T-thank you Haruka," She whispered and I smiled; carefully lifting her hand to my lips and pressing a kiss to her knuckle making Endymion growl even darker.
"Of course my princess," I whispered moving closer to the younger blonde; causing Usagi's blush to deepen as Endymion stormed over and pulled the girl back to him.
"M-Mamo…?" Usagi stammered in confusion and looked up at the male. I shot him a dark look and sighed, as he returned it with his own.
"Don't worry Usagi," He said flashing her a quick smile as Chibiusa came closer to us.
"M-Mama…?" She asked her voice small and confused. My eyes softened as I looked down at the small child that was a third mine; carefully I moved to pick her up and settled her on my hip. Her small arms quickly wound around my neck as she hid her head. Usagi smiled and moved forward carefully petting the young girl's hair as the other scouts moved closer.
"Is Chibiusa okay? Was she hurt in the fight?" Venus asked quickly in worry for the younger girl.
"She is okay Venus; just shaken," Usagi replied her voice almost dazed as Endymion came closer to check on Chibiusa. "We should get going, I want to check on Hotaru with Chibiusa and then get back to base so we can all rest," She whispered and looked up at both her mates for approval. Both Endymion and I looked at each other and nodded causing Usagi to smile. I carefully set down Chibiusa and took my princesses hand squeezing it gently.
"I will take Chibiusa down, watch her Sailor Uranus." Endymion said sharply as he picked up the young girl jumping down from the building with her and the inner scouts. Carefully I pulled Usagi closer and hugged her tightly.
"Are you sure you are okay?" I asked softly as Neptune and Pluto came forward to check on Usagi as well. My young mate gently nodded her head and gave me a tired smile.
"I-I will be okay, I just want to check on Hotaru and then get back to base… please?" She whispered ever so softly, causing me to nod in consent.
"Fine, but at least allow me or Endymion to carry you my love," I whispered looking at her sharply, "I can tell you are exhausted from that transformation as it was the first time we have ever seen Super Sailor moon."
"O-Okay…" Usagi whispered after a moment, causing me to smile and carefully pick up girl. Her arms wrapped around my neck and she leaned her head on one shoulder. Nodding too the other scouts we quickly jumped down to the waiting group as I set Usagi beside Chibiusa and Endymion.
Usagi's P.O.V
I smiled as we finally reached Hotaru's house, only to gasp seeing the young girl on the ground clutching her chest. Quickly I pulled Chibiusa from running directly to her and shook my head before softly whispering, "Let me and Mamo-chan go and check on her encase she needs medical attention okay?" I asked and met her eyes. It only took a moment before my young daughter nodded and moved back to Haruka. Meeting Mamuro's eyes we carefully moved forward to check on Hotaru, only to freeze as she started cackling her body growling, her clothes changing as she looked at us with demented eyes. I gasped as she stood this new person's hair falling around us as her eyes scanned the group settling on Chibiusa.
"Give me the silver crystal!" She screamed her hair launching forward at Haruka and Chibiusa.
"No!" I gasped and without thinking quickly intercepted the tentacle like hair. It surrounded my chest and quickly lifted me off the ground pulling off my broach. I felt my body go cold, then blackness.
Author's P.O.V
Usagi's body quickly fell to the ground her transformation breaking and her eyes dull and empty. Both Haruka and Mamuro gasped and jumped forward trying to catch there falling soul mate as Mistress9 swallowed Usagi's silver crystal. The pair caught the lifeless scout crashing down as the pulled her close between them, quickly Mamuro formed a golden barrier around them and all the scouts as the rest rushed forward to check on them.
"Usagi!" Haruka yelled and sat up holding the younger tightly against her as she cupped Usagi's cheek, "Please wake up..." she whispered softly as Usagi's eyes finally closed. Her body started to grow colder as Mamuro carefully took her hand, his own glowing soft gold as his own golden crystal tried to heal the love of his life.
"W-what happened…?" Michiru asked softly as she kneeled down beside Haruka. The teal haired beauty clutched her mirror close as Mistress9 started to attack the barrier, screaming hysterically. Michiru looked around at the group and stood up, "We need to hurry and teleport out of here. Now." She stated strongly; the other scouts nodding as they took up their position and linked hands, Michiru and Mina each placing a hand on Mamuro and Haruka's shoulder's respectively. A rainbow of light surrounded the group as soon they were teleported back to Mamuro's apartment, and out of the danger.
"M-Mommy…?" Chibiusa whispered moving closer to the three on the ground, she crawled forward moving to touch Usagi as Haruka pulled the younger tight against her; keeping her from seeing what was happening as the young princess started to sob against her mama.
"I-it is going to be okay," Haruka whispered her voice thick with emotions. She looked over at her young love in the arms of the earth prince as Lune carefully came closer.
"Her life seems to be sustained in your arms Mamuro," Luna said after a moment of watching Usagi. The moon princess was still; almost deathly and her skin as pale as alabaster. Her hair sprawled around her like a blanket of gold and her lips slightly off colour from her normal rose hue.
"Thank god," he whispered and held Usagi closer to him letting the glow surround the woman he loved as his own golden crystal worked to keep his princess alive.
Mamuro's P.O.V
I looked down at Usagi and carefully picked her up, bringing her to the couch and settling down holding her tightly in my arms; she did not steer at all. Meeting Haruka's eyes; I released a tired sigh. "We need to get her crystal back…. or take her to the moon." I said softly and ran my hand through Usagi's golden hair.
"We unfortunately cannot travel to the moon without Usagi…. because it is her home she is the only one that can guide us their; so our only option is to defeat Hotaru," Venus said solemnly as Chibiusa finally looked up tears streaming down her young face; causing my heart to clench even more painfully.
"Then we will stop her… I will not let Usagi die," Haruka said softly and look at me, "You will have to stay with her, the scouts can take on whatever this monster is, you will keep Chibiusa and Usagi safe," She stated and I nodded at her words before Chibiusa pulled away from her.
"No. I am going to help, I am the only one with powers similar to mommy, and you will need me." Chibiusa countered, her face set and determines, much like how Usagi would get. It made me smile softly.
"Very well small lady, but you will do everything that either I or Venus orders, and you will not argue with us." Haruka stated after a moment placing her hand on the young scouts head. Chibiusa gave her mama a soft smile and a nod before getting up and coming over to me. She crawled onto the couch and pressed a soft kiss to Usagi's cheek then one to mine as all of the scouts stood and started to prepare for battle. Finally my young daughter stood and grabbed Haruka's hand ready to save her mother.
"Good luck" I called as they teleported away my hold on Usagi tightening. Now it was just her and I in my apartment, carefully I lay back onto the couch so that she was rested on top of me; gently I pulled her hair out of its normal buns and started to run my hand through her hair, letting it glow softly as I did. Looking up I noticed that the sky was darkening, and hail was pounding against my window harshly, the power in the complex was flickering as energy from the city was drawn towards the remains of the Mugenzu District. Growling I pushed out more of my energy and made a barrier around the whole of my apartment; to keep us safe from whatever our enemy was. I was starting to realise now why the outer scouts originally wanted to keep us away from this fight. Without Usagi there this was going to be the toughest battle that the scouts will face. Even with Chibiusa being there it would not increase their odds by much. Hopefully Haruka had a good plan or we were all finished for; and our future would never happen.
"Mamuro?" Artemis called from his spot next to Luna.
I sighed and looked over to the White cat, "Yes?" I asked
"I wonder if you transform into Endymion maybe it will strengthen the bond and allow you more access to your abilities," Artemis reasoned his eyes visibly tiring. I looked at him for a moment contemplating; before realising he was right. My princely form was not my most comfortable as I felt Endymions personality always trying to take control; having realised that he was locked away when I was reincarnated. Even so I knew that I was strong in that form and both my past and present self wished for Usagi to be okay; so I would allow myself to transform for now. Taking a deep breath I let my body relax and shift. A flash of gold and I was dressed as Endymion; prince of earth in the silver millennium. Sitting up once more I shifted Usagi again and focused on keeping her alive.
Hotaru's P.O.V
I whimpered as I kept my ethereal body around Sailor Moons broach and crystal; refusing to allow Mistress9 to win. Suddenly I felt great warmth surround me as I saw Usagi appear; fully ethereal and glowing angel wings on her back. Her arms carefully wrapped around me; her touch healing my body and giving me the strength to survive.
"T-thank you," I whispered holding the broach and crystal tighter; as I felt power filling me, separating me from Mistress9. I looked up at Usagi who smiled as she disappeared back inside the broach; in her place a purple pen floated towards me. Grasping it; I immediately knew what to do. Grabbing the broach tightly I called out, "Saturn Planet Power!"
Haruka's P.O.V
I groaned as Mistress9 launched another wave of attacks; forcing the inner scouts and Chibimoon to the ground; all of them battered and bruised. Setsuna, Michiru, and I were holding closed the barrier keeping the dark mass of Pharaoh90 from escaping, which meant we could not help the inner scouts and my daughter. Suddenly Mistress9 doubled over in pain, her body convulsing in disgusting forms as her skin ripped from her body, and a human forced her way out of the creature. I gasped almost breaking my part of the barrier when I spotted the familiar white and purple scout uniform. "n-no…. Pluto!" I hollered as Setsuna gasped as well.
"What the hell is going on?" Mar's shouted as she and the rest of the inner scouts stood, Chibiusa quickly moving forward her small eyes wide with hope.
"H-Hotaru!" my small daughter yelled as Saturn looked towards the pink scout and smiled
"Chibiusa," Saturn whispered softly and floated down to Chibiusa as Mistress9's destroyed body fell towards Pharaoh90. The sailor scout of destruction landed merely inches away from my daughter and I struggled not to rush forward to protect her as Saturn reached out to touch the girl's cheek. "I am so glad you are okay" she whispered and pulled Chibiusa into a tight hug.
Hotaru's P.O.V
I tightly hugged Chibiusa as the younger girl wrapped her arms around my neck. "H-Hotaru…. y-you're real?" the younger whispered softly, causing me to smile.
"Yes my dear friend I am; I am so sorry for the trouble I have caused you." I whispered and pulled back; smiling at the pink scout. Carefully I stepped back and held up Sailor moons broach. The broach glowed softly as it floated up and in a burst of light passed through the barrier and towards the location of sailor moon. The scouts all gasped at my actions as the outers started to yell about the dangers that I brought; causing me to sigh. I was no more a danger then they were; as like Sailor Uranus I could never harm my mate. Even though Chibiusa was still a child I knew she was mine and I would protect her until the end of time. I would never risk her now that I had full control of my body.
"Chibimoon! Step away from her now!" Uranus hollered causing my little mate to jump back. Sighing softly I stepped back and pulled out my scythe, making the outer scouts gasps in horror.
"Calm yourself; I am simply going to defeat this threat; I will not be hurting this planet." I sighed and jumped up, "Chibiusa; please go to Sailor Uranus." I asked softly and swung my weapon down gracefully, quickly moving onto the attack. I knew that the abomination could not hurt me; I was stronger than the creature and I was a far more skilled fighter. I quickly found the source of the beings power just as it opened its celestial gate.
Mamuro's P.O.V
I gasped as I saw the broach appear in the apartment and fly to Usagi; surrounding her in a brilliant white light. It forced me to look away; until finally disappearing allowing me to see my princess. Her skin was finally gaining colour and was no longer feeling a deathly cold on her skin. Ever so quiet I heard her release a soft groan as her eyes fluttered open much to my amazement. "m-mamo-…chan?" I heard her whisper.
"Yes my princess," I whispered softly as she looked up at me, "Thank god..." I pulled her close to me; holding her tightly still being careful of her injuries. I met her eyes and cupped the back of her head; pulling her into a gentle kiss, expressing all of my love for her in this action. Slowly I felt her start to kiss back; a pure white light surrounding us as both of our crystal's hummed in unison. Finally after a moment I pulled back and smiled at her resting our foreheads together.
"y-you're dressed as Endymion?" she whispered causing me to chuckle.
"Yes it allows me great access to my abilities." I replied smiling softly at her. She nodded at my explanation after a moment and settled further against me. I started to run my hand through her free hair; knowing that we needed to defeat this enemy now, and that she would be needed for that. I sighed softly and stood helping Usagi to her feet, "We need to go and help the scouts my love," I whisper kissing her forehead.
"Yeah…" She replies softly obviously still exhausted, but she knew that she was needed to save our world. Carefully she stepped back from me callin out, "Moon Crystal Power." In a blinding flash there she stood as Sailor Moon, my beautiful warrior.
"Let's go," I whispered pulling her closer, and summoning my sword to my side.
"Right," She whispered and summoned her power; teleporting us safely to the battled grounds. Both of us gasped at what we saw. The scouts were battered and bruised and there holding my daughter was Sailor Saturn. I growled and quickly moved up to the platform that the inner's were on and drew my sword.
"Step away from my daughter Saturn." I growled.
Usagi's P.O.V
I sighed at Mamuro's actions and quickly looked down to the monstrous mass that was trying to break through the outer scout's barrier. Biting my lip softly as I realised only Hotaru and I had the power to stop this monster I called out, "Hotaru! We need to stop him now!"
Saturn quickly turned and appeared before me kneeling, "At your command princess." She whispered and stood drawing her scythe to a point and moved beside me, "I must close the rift; however to defeat him we will need him to swallow a large burst of energy," she explained in a whisper and it only took me a moment to realise what she was saying.
"Will I survive this?" I asked softly, and carefully summoned my chalice.
"Yes Princess; I will guide you down with my own energy; you must transform when you reach inside of him; it will destroy his body as he cannot handle light energy." she explained further and gave me an encouraging look before jumping forward soon moving to the rift. Carefully I moved to the edge off the building and shut my eyes taking a deep breath, before shooting my soulmates and friends a soft smiling; allowing myself to fall over the edge.
Author's P.O.V
The scouts and Endymion all froze as Sailor Moon jumped over the edge of the tower, plummeting down into Pharoaoh90. "No!" Endymion shouted rushing to the edge just to see his princess go under the surface. He collapsed to his knees in horror realising that he had truly lost hos one true love. Feeling a tug on his shirt Endymion looked over to his daughter and carefully he pulled Chibiusa into his arms as the young scout cried against his shirt. Above them Saturn watched calmly and sharply as she began to close the Celestial rift that Pharaoh90 had created. The rest of the scouts looked down in pain; having failed to protect their princess again.
"U-Usagi…" Haruka whispered brokenly; her heart shattering as for once tears began to buildup in her eyes. she tried to blink them away as suddenly her sword began to hum with power, as a deep blue light erupted from it, "W-what the hell?" She called out noticing that Pluto and Neptune's talisman were doing the same thing; just as they had when Usagi had first become Eternal Sailor Moon. Realizing that her princess was truly alive; she pressed all the energy left in her body into her time space sword. The rest of the scouts soon followed suit as Pharaoh90 released a cry of pain as his body started to boil and bubble. His body began to burst at the seams as a beautiful white light filled the space; disintegrating the remains of the enemy.
the outer scouts finally released the barrier as they all fell to the ground panting; Haruka forcing herself to her feet as she stumbled closer to Endymion and Chibiusa placing a gentle hand on her Daughters shoulder as they all spotted Eternal Sailor Moon kneeling on some of the destroyed building pieces; her body glowing as it once again began to transform, revealing the form she would take in the future. Neo-Queen Serenity. The beautiful woman gently held up her pink moon staff as a healing light spread across the earth; the light washed over the scouts as it passed restoring their energy as it went. Landing beside the royal family Saturn shot Chibiusa a soft look as the healing was finished; everything finally returning to what it once was.
