A.N. Welp, Here we are, chapter 2. And, If you're wondering what made Rei so powerful... It was Aomizuchi's influence, which increased Rei's powers many fold. Anyway, Here's the second chapter, Enjoy:

Chapter 2: Found...
~Outside the Tomb/Later~
Pluto, Uranus, Mercury and Jupiter are talking.
"What did you mean earlier, Pluto?" asks Jupiter.
"The former Queen Serenity, of the Moon Kingdom..." Pluto begins, "She, too, fell in love with one of her senshi. Unlike what happened with Usagi and Rei, though, the former Serenity shared a relationship with the senshi she had fallen in love with."
"What happened?" asks Mercury.
"They had a happy relationship... until the fateful day that it became time for Serenity to accend to queen." Pluto continues, "Her duty was to marry and have a child, to assume the throne should she herself die... that has always been the duty of the Serenity-bloodline. And, To her true love's protest, Serenity chose duty over love and wed Usagi's father."
"I'm not sure I like where this led." Jupiter inserts.
"With good reason." Pluto says, "A short while before the princess was born, the queen's former lover, her true love, murdered the king while he slept. She made no attempt to hide the fact that it was indeed her. Thus, The queen had no recourse but to... banish her love into the darkest prison... the Negaverse..."
"The Negaverse!?" Uranus says, stunned(as are the other two), "Then, The senshi was..."
Pluto nods, "The later ruler of the renamed Dark Kingdom," she responds, "Queen Beryl." the others gasp and Pluto continues, "She was, in fact, a sailor senshi before the tragedy... she became so consumed with rage and hatred, mostly toward the princess, that she forgot Serenity and the love they shared. Thus, She broke free of the Negaverse and destroyed the Moon Kingdom, causing the death of the only one that she had ever loved. Later, Beryl herself met her demise at the hands of the princess and her senshi."
The others are shocked and speechless at the time senshi's words.
"It is sad, sad that such a tragic history had to be repeated..." Pluto says, "And, Probably will be again..."
~Near the Crystal Palace/A Week Later~
(time-skipped, Usagi's entombment is over and ChibiUsa has accended to queen... From this point on, ChibiUsa will be referred to as Serenity(her proper name, being queen) or Usa(by Hotaru)... mainly because she's no longer Chibi, she's grown up...)
The new Queen Serenity is walking in the garden near the palace, still saddened over the loss of her mother but doing her best to cope with it. The pink-haired queen kneels and picks two flowers, a red rose and a white rose... the two flowers so much like Rei and Usagi, one dark and one light. Serenity breaks down and begins crying, cupping her hands over her face.
"You miss them alot, don't you?" asks a voice that Serenity recognizes as that of Saturn.
"Taru?" the young queen says as she turns to see the senshi of death and rebirth.
"Venus told me you were out here." Saturn says, kneeling next to the pink-haired Serenity, "You want to talk about it, Usa?"
Serenity nods, "My mother was so important to me, even though we used to fight alot, she was always so kind and loving." she says, "And, I looked up to Rei more than the others, always calm and confident, she was also my mother's best friend and more of a parent to me than my father, she was there for me more often."
Saturn places her hand on Serenity's shoulder, "I understand how you feel, Usa." she says, "I, too, miss them. But, Death finds us all, eventually... it was fate."
"How can you say that, Taru?" questions Serenity, standing and turning to face the senshi of death and rebirth. "I don't believe that!" she states, "And, Neither should you!"
"Why not, Usa?" Saturn responds, standing up as well, "I mean, Was it not Rei's unshakeable belief in fate and destiny that is the reason she never told your mother the truth? Thus, Would it not have been the cause of their deaths then?"
Again, Tears start spilling from the pink-haired queen's red eyes. Saturn hugs Serenity, "I am sorry, Usa." she says, "I didn't mean to sadden you further."
"I'm alright, Taru." Serenity says, returning the hug. Then she thinks, 'As long as you're with me.'
'I love you, Usa. And, I want to tell you.' Saturn thinks 'But, After what happened to Rei and Usagi, I don't know if I can.'
"How sweet." a sarcastic male voice says.
The two girls release one another and turn(Saturn's right, Serenity's left) to see someone they believed dead.
"It's you... Aomizuchi!" Serenity says, "But, You died! Mars killed you!"
"Hm, A new Serenity?" Aomizuchi says, questioningly, "Where is the other one?"
"You should know." Saturn says, calmly, "Since you know so much about us."
Aomizuchi brings his right hand to his chin for a moment, "Ah yes, Her love for that one called Mars. The love she failed to admit to herself." he says, "It was their own fault, you know."
"Wha--?"
"It was they who would not admit the truth, that is what caused their deaths." Aomizuchi interrupts, "Just as the truth of the prior Serenity, of the Moon Kingdom. Her death happened because she chose her duty above her love... thus she banished Beryl to the Negaverse, where I took her feelings of rejection and turned them to hatred and rage. Thus caused their deaths."
"You mean you were responsible for them as well?" questions Saturn.
"Me?" Aomizuchi says, "I merely set the stage... after the fact. Just as I did with Mars and her queen. Mars came to me, just as Beryl did. And, I took her feelings of lonliness and despair, and turned them into the desire to avenge her broken heart... the end result: Both, Mars' and her queen's lives ended. Bwahahahahaha..."
"BASTARD!!" shouts Saturn, picking up her silence glaive.
"HA!" Aomizuchi throws his arms out to the sides and then holds both of his hands forward toward the two women. He sends a blast flying at them, which Saturn uses her glaive to create a barrier against the beam-like attack.
Aomizuchi moves his left hand to his left and traps the approaching senshi(Pluto and the others) in a dome-like energy-structure, then returns his left hand forward to increase the power of his beam attack.
"Now," Aomizuchi says, arrogantly, "There is no one to interfere."
Saturn glances back over her shoulder at the pink-haired Serenity and says, "Just stay behind me, Usa. I promise I will protect you."
Serenity nods slightly, "A-alright." she responds.
Saturn then turns back to face Aomizuchi. Tightening her grip on the silence glaive, Saturn pushes the top part forward slightly with her right hand and the shaft of the glaive glows purple.
"Attempting to overpower me, Saturn?" questions Aomizuchi, with a smirk. "You know you cannot risk using your full power. Because you would most certainly destroy the one you are protecting."
Saturn's violet eyes widen just slightly and the glow fades from the glaive's shaft. Aomizuchi increases the force of his attack further and Saturn drops to one knee, still managing to maintain the barrier.
"Taru!" Serenity says, worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Saturn nods, "I'm fine." she says.
"For now, you mean. But, How long do you believe you can hold out against me... without using your full power?" Aomizuchi questions, arrogantly, as he further intensifies the power of his beam.
"I will hold out..." Saturn says, forcing herself back to her feet, "As long as I have to..." the strength of the barrier increases.
~Inside the dome~
"Isn't there anything we can do!?" questions Uranus.
"I'm afraid not." Mercury replies, using her mini-computer to check the dome's structure, "According to this, The only way to get out of here is... if Aomizuchi is destroyed."
"Dammit!" shouts Jupiter, slamming her right fist against the inner-wall of the dome.
~Outside~
"I will protect Usa!" Saturn states, "No matter what!!"
Serenity's eyes widen somewhat and she remembers when Rei had said the same thing about her mother, Usagi. She then realizes that Saturn houses the same feelings for her that she herself has for the senshi of death and rebirth.
"Fine then!" Aomizuchi says, "DIE!!" he intensifies the power of his attack to its maximum.
"Not before you!" shouts Saturn. And, using her glaive, she finally manages to deflect Aomizuchi's blast in a safe direction(toward the sky).
Aomizuchi turns his head to follow the blast with his eyes. Then, His eyes widen slightly before turning his head back toward Saturn, just the senshi of death and rebirth slashes with the blade of her glaive. Aomizuchi attempts to dodge but, doesn't entirely escape and receives a gash along his chest. He then knocks Saturn back with a blast and holds his left hand over his wound.
Serenity runs over to Saturn, as the senshi gets to her feet. "I'm alright, Usa." Saturn says.
"Are you sure?" asks the young queen. Saturn nods.
"Arghh. How...?" Aomizuchi questions, more to himself than anyone else, "Why did her attack injure me?! I don't understand..."
"It's time to finish him." Saturn says, picking up her glaive.
"Wait." Serenity says, stopping the senshi of death and rebirth.
"What is it, Usa?"
"I just wanted... to say that, um," Serenity stumbles over her words, "I-I lo..." she swallows then smiles, "I love you, Taru."
Saturn's eyes widen and she tightens her grip on the silence glaive, "Usa, I..." she starts, loosening her grip somewhat, 'I can't keep it a secret anymore... I have to tell her.' "I... love you, too." she says, turning to meet Serenity's ruby eyes.
Serenity hugs the black-haired senshi and Saturn returns the embrace, hugging Serenity with her left arm(she's holding the glaive in her right hand).
'Is that why?' Aomizuchi wonders 'Was I too late with these two?'
The pink-haired queen then, to everyone's surprise(well, perhaps not Pluto's), presses her lips to Saturn's.
"Arrghhh!!" Aomizuchi goans, as his wound from Mars' sword reappears and the wound he received from Saturn's glaive starts bleeding.
Saturn drops her glaive and embraces Serenity with her right arm, as she returns the queen's undemanding kiss.
Aomizuchi begins dissolving, bit-by-bit, "NOOOO!!!" he yells, dropping to one knee.
Aomizuchi's yell gains everyone's attention, Saturn and Serenity breaking apart... and the dome-structure imprisoning the other senshi dissipates.
Thus, All eyes are on the youma... "I CAN STILL SUCCEED!! I SWEAR!" Aomizuchi yells, continuing to slowly dissolve, "PLEASE, DO NOT---" he vanishes in a bright flash of light.
"Is he...?" wonders Serenity out loud.
"Yes, Aomizuchi is dead." a familiar voice says, as two familiar forms appear... one with two odangoes and long pig-tails, and the other has long raven-hair.
"Mother? Rei?" asks Serenity, "H-how?"
"We were granted the chance to appear to you, upon knowledge of Aomizuchi's death." Usagi explains.
"Speaking of which," Saturn says, "How 'did' he die?"
"The two of you." Usagi says.
"What does that mean?" asks Serenity.
"Many centuries ago," Rei explains, "Aomizuchi apparently made a deal with the 'Fates'. The deal was, that if Aomizuchi could insure the Serenities each placed their duty first, then he would live forever... basically, meaning that if he could keep each Serenity, in-turn, from their true love or come between them and their true love, he would be immortal."
"A being that was out of Death's reach?" wonders Saturn aloud.
"Yes." Usagi says, "In fact, It was he that coaxed Beryl into murdering my father. Thus, Causing my mother to banish her and allowing Aomizuchi to turn her despair into hatred."
"And," Rei adds, "Many times, Aomizuchi appeared to me in my visions... telling me that Usagi would never return my feelings and, to my disgust, I began to believe him. He, thus, caused what happened eight years ago. We could have prevented it, had we just faced our feelings."
"True. For he could not have came between us." Usagi says, "The two of you, though, have too great a bond between you... all you needed, as well, was to admit your feelings for one another. Thus, Aomizuchi failed his part of the deal and the 'Fates' took his life, because they knew he would be unable to come between you, once you admitted the truth."
"My love." Rei says to Usagi, placing her hand on the blonde's shoulder, "Our time is almost up here."
Usagi turns her head to face the raven-haired woman and nods once, "Alright." she says, then briefly kisses Rei's lips. She smiles at the raven-haired woman, then turns back to Saturn and her daughter.
"We have to go shortly." Usagi says, smiling now at the two younger women, "I wish you both happiness. And Saturn, take care of my daughter." Saturn nods.
"Don't take anything for granted." Rei advises, "The future is never set, it can change with a single simple word..." she glances to Usagi, "Or three." She, too, smiles at the two and then, she and Usagi start fading.
"Goodbye." Usagi adds, just before she and Rei vanish.
Afterward, Saturn notices tears rolling from Serenity's eyes and places a hand on the queen's shoulder, "Are you alright, Usa?" she asks.
"Better than alright, Taru." Serenity replies, smiling, "I know they have found their happiness, together. And, As long as I know that, I can't mourn their deaths. I can let go." she turns to the senshi of death and rebirth, "Now, Where were we?" she asks, wrapping her arms around Saturn again.
Saturn returns the embrace, "I believe we were here." she responds, pressing her lips to her love's. Serenity returns the kiss.
"Doesn't look like history's going to repeat itself again afterall, huh Pluto?" Venus says to the senshi of time.
"It doesn't appear so." Pluto responds, with a rare smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~------!!The End!!------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ramblings: So? How was it? Hm? Hm? Do you think I did alright with adult (Chibi)Usa and Hotaru? Well, Read and Review, and tell me whether or not you like it. I'm gone. Ja!
