Silver Millennium Life Bonds

Epilogue

Disclaimer: Since I started this story, I have said over and over that I didn't own Ronin Warriors or Sailor Moon. Now that we are at the end, nothing has changed. I still don't own them.

Windy wanted to fall to the ground laughing. The problem was she was keeping the Warlords and Outer Sailors inside the house. Luna and Artimas sat on the windowsill and White Blaze commandeered the other window next to the Warlords. Only Rowen and Serena, Ryo and Mia, and Cye, who was holding Kento's mouth shut, were out on the back porch. Where were Sage and Lita? On the other side of the porch exchanging spit. Or playing tonsil hockey. Or for all the romantics, kissing. It was just as she had saw when she took Sage to see his father.

Speaking of which, Windy turned enough to nod a greeting to the Sun King. The Outer Sailors kneeled to their monarch while Luna and Artimas bowed their heads. They rose from the positions when he signaled to them.

"How is my son doing, Guardian?"

Windy took another look out the window and then at her watch she was wearing for the moment. "He's been kissing Makoto for the past five minutes. They should be coming up for air soon."

"And how is my daughter?"

"Deliriously happy," said the ghost.

"I was able to watch the final battle, why did she have to be alone?"

Windy looked at the Sun Keeper. "It wasn't my idea, but then, she wasn't alone anyway. They were still with her even if no one could see them."

The Sun King sighed. "I won't ask; I'll just believe that you knew what you were doing."

"Such faith," exclaimed Windy. She put her right hand to her heart. "I am hurt by such little faith given to me after all the support you gave me before."

"I'm worried about my children," retorted the Sun King. "I didn't like the idea of my only children going up against Chaos Itself when even the most powerful Sailor couldn't stop it permanently."

"You forget that Serena went up against it before," said Windy. "She banished it back to where it belonged, but the banishment wasn't perfect. Now It will stay where It belongs until the right time comes for it to be loosed on the world, if it ever does." She looked out the window again. "They're done for the moment; would you like to see your children?"

At the king's nod, Windy stepped aside and opened the door. Everyone watched as Serena ran into her father's arms for a hug and Sage bowed formally to his father, but the Sun King wouldn't have it. He walked over to his son and gave him as big a hug as he gave Serena. Windy smiled. That was how a family should be, always filled with love for each other.

"What did happen after Serena pushed Chaos back?" asked Hotaru. "I felt like I was awakening to finish what she started."

Windy looked down at the Sailor of Death and Rebirth before looking at the others with her. They all wanted to know what had happened and only she could give them the answers.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Windy sighed as she sat in the tree, looking down into the pond of the Water of Sight. Around it laid the unconscious bodies of the Warlords, Outer Sailors, and the Ronin Warriors. Under her sat Mia, Sam, Yulie, White Blaze, and the Lunar Cats, everyone watching the pond to see the battle. For all the hype and anxiousness that the warriors and support people harbored, it wasn't that fierce. Windy was of the opinion that getting to the castle was harder then actually fighting Chaos.

The Guardian straightened up when the final push of power flowed from Sailor Cosmos to engulf Chaos. After the dark entity disappeared Windy disappeared from her place in the tree only to appear in the Nether Realm. She acted like a white dot in the blackness going to the fading light of the last Sailor defending that realm. The ghost picked up the unconscious body of Rowen's love and left the destroyed Realm.

Luna and Mia were ready for them when Windy returned. They took the last Sailor and laid her next to the Ronin of Strata, Prince of the Earth. Before Luna left the pair, she joined hands of the two so they knew that the other was with them.

"Will they be okay?" asked Yulie.

Windy took a look at Cale, as it seemed that he was going to wake up before the rest. "They will be fine. I had to grab them from the nothingness Chaos was sending them to. When they wake up, they won't remember anything after Chaos removed them from the Nether Realm."

"What about my sister?" asked Sam.

Luna answered that question. "She will be fine. If the Lady Guardian isn't hovering over her with a worried look, then Serena will be fine."

Sam didn't look convinced, so he settled himself next to his sister. "I'm going to stay here until I know that she will be fine," he stated.

Windy turned to him and bowed. "As you wish. You can tell me if there is any change in her condition. I thank you."

The assignment only made Sam the grimmer. If he was going to watch his sister for the ghost, then he was going to make sure that Serena was going to be fine. He wasn't going to call her a Meatball Head any more.

"Lady Windwalker," asked Artimas. "Why did you bring us here?"

"Because you must remember," said Windy.

"Why?" asked Luna as she came up to them. "Why do we have to remember?"

"Chaos bled into the Mortal Realm during the fight. It started to destroy the world like it did when Serena first fought it. This time someone had to remember clearly the battle and give it to the future Sailors and Warriors who will take over when the present ones retire." Windy looked at the two cats. "The Silver Millennium will come back, but not as the Crystal Tokyo that everyone thought it will be. The survivors of the Silver Millennium have long lives and they will change what the world will be like. Only they won't take over the government, they will help it along. Let them do that. Let them make their own destiny."

"We will remember," said the cats. "It's the least we can do for them."

The discussion was ended when Windy started to check on the other people laying unconscious in the Middle World. She had to put Hotaru back to sleep for a while longer because she was starting to react to the neutrality of the plane. Windy didn't want to deal with her ultimate attack taking out the plane. Then she would be in hot water.

* * * * * * * * * * *

"So that was what I was reacting to," said Hotaru. "I was wondering."

"I'm just sorry that I had to do that," said Windy. "I felt like I was doing the same thing Queen Serenity did in the Silver Millennium."

"Yes, but you woke me up when we came home." Hotaru grinned up to the ghost. "It was interesting hearing Ryo yelling at Sage while Rowen and Serena were kissing in the corner of my room."

Haruka raised an eyebrow to Windy on that statement. "Yes, we wanted to talk to you about that. Was that really necessary?"

"No, but what was I suppose to do? Wait until everyone was sleeping off their hangovers to wake her up?" Windy gave a wry look. "That would have gone really well. The poor girl would have thought that the world was ending."

"But couldn't you have woke her up in a quieter room?" asked Michiru. "She didn't really need to see all that."

"May I remind you that you demanded the Windwalker to wake up your Firefly 'right now'," defended Artimas. "The Guardian was just going to let her sleep the spell off. You wanted her awake now."

"You didn't say where you wanted her woke up," added Windy. "You just wanted her awake."

"Face it, you aren't going to win this fight," said a new voice.

Haruka stiffened. The Warlords' eyes widened at what they saw behind Windy. "Who let you in?" growled the Sailor of Uranus.

"Would you believe the tiger?" asked another voice.

"Actually, I would believe the boys did," said Setsuna. "They heard the doorbell."

"We just wanted to see how Sailor Cosmos was doing," said a third voice.

"Really?" asked Cale. "You can see how she's doing right through this window."

"Or the Lady Guardian could walk out the door and let the lady of the house and her roommates know she has some more visitors," said Luna.

"I agree with Luna," said Windy. She looked over her shoulder. "I'll just let her know that the Starlights and Sailor Galaxia are here to see one of her guests."

* * * * * * * * * * *

It was interesting to watch the reception of the Starlights by Serena and Lita. Windy had to hold Rowen and Sage back from pummeling the newcomers. They only relaxed when Serena introduced Rowen as her fiancée and Lita said that Sage was her current boyfriend. Only Windy, Ryo, and Rowen heard Sage growl that he was going to be her fiancée when he could introduce her to his family.

Windy was decided. She wanted to take time off to watch the interesting family when the three pairs got around to getting married. It was bound to be entertaining. Then she would go on to another place that needed her help.

* * * * * * * * * * *

AN: Well, this is it. I'm not going to beat this into the ground with a sequel about the three pairs marrying; I'm going to let you use your imagination. To everyone who held on through the whole story, I give you my thanks. To everyone who came in during the middle of the story, I hope you enjoyed it. I am not sorry for putting God in this story, that is the center of my character, Windy. I especially thank everyone who reviewed at least once; the people who wanted me to continue and those who said I should stop and change it around or quit all together. I wrote it for anyone who wanted to read it and for my enjoyment.

On a side note: The copy of Silver Millennium Life Bonds found on the Ronin Warriors link of Fanfiction.net will be taken down later. There is still the copy in Sailor Moon Crossovers and I will probably combine the chapters at that same time.

Have a good summer and may God Bless you in everything. Thank You!
