Start Of A New Future

Ten people, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Turles, Bardock, Aremes, Dion, Raven, Ares, and Shadow Moon poured what they could into Sailor Cosmos. It was a battle to give her a reason to come back.

Aremes was not giving up and screamed his anger at her for not fighting harder and his anguish that he may lose her. 'Cosmos, you're not alone any more. Please, I've found my soul mate and it will destroy me if you fade away forever.' Everyone but Dion, Aremes and Aries were on the floor tapped out and could only watch as they gave it their last efforts. Finally, they to sank to their knees exhausted with her still not responding. Not knowing what else to do, Aremes lifted her chin and gave her a kiss that seemed to ring through the universe to the most distant stars about his breaking and crying heart. A tear streamed down his face, to be joined by another as they dropped on the hole in her chest.

Silence was in the room as everyone clutched their hands and cried with Aremes that Sailor Cosmos was not going to come back. These were no ordinary tears, but the wishes of her friends, her family and the gods as all the tears joined together and with those that were already on the fallen Messiah.

The star that was in the center of her brow, which had almost lost its shine, twinkled. As the tears continued to flow and Aremes's kiss deepened, it became brighter. A golden and silver light surrounded the two of them, as they saw the tip of her wings twitch, then her fingers. Aremes almost shouted for joy, but he only ran his fingers through her long silver hair and gave her the love that two soul mates could only give each other. "That's my girl. Fight for me and be with me forever." Suddenly she arched, taking a deep breath as her heart began to beat once more.

"I almost didn't hear any of you and then somehow I heard the ringing and the sorrow of even the stars if I departed. How did you guys managed to do that?"

"What can we say? Everyone loves you."

Sailor Cosmos stood up and looked herself over. Thanks to the healing power of Saturn, her wings were better and the hole in her stomach was no longer there. "Aries, do me a favor. Make sure there's nobody around that you don't want to hit next time."

Aries only smiled at the woman and circled his arms around his mate Shada. Raven had changed back into her regular form as well. "So what now?" Setsuna asked.

"We go back to our time," Cosmos said. Losing the Sailor Uniform, she changed into a silver dress that had star patterns on it and a eight pointed star necklace on her neck as on her forehead. She would never lose the mark of who she really was. "I'm Aresta. I suppose I didn't mention it before the battle, but we didn't have time to worry about that."

"How can we go back to our time?" Ami asked. "I was under the impression our future no longer existed.

Raven and Aresta laughed, as they had the secrets of everything in their eyes. "That's not exactly true," Raven said. "Your future that you knew, no longer exists. However, a future still exist for you and we cannot stay here in the past. We don't belong."

"Are we going to be able to become the Sailor Senshi again?" Haruka questioned. For some reason, she didn't really want to do that kind of life anymore and wanted to lead the life of a normal person.

"Haruka, none of you will ever be normal," Aresta told them, "but no to your question about becoming the Sailor Senshi. At least from me. However, when you go back to the future you will regain those powers of the planetary senshi through a different means."

The eight women looked at her confused. "We don't understand?" Makoto said.

"By changing the events here with Frieza, there will be a Saiya-jin race. And, Usagi will be taking the throne of the moon kingdom when she becomes old enough to do so. The Silver Alliance will not fall when Beryl comes to attack because the Saiya-jin might along with her military force will easily defeat her. When we go back to the future, these two lines will merge. However, there is only one problem with changing history and this is what I have to tell Gohan, Trunks, Goten, Pan and Bra. Chi-chi and Bulma will not be with Kakarot and Vegeta of this time. However, because of your help, I am going to bend the rules a little and change who your parents were going to be. Gohan and Goten, you will be born to Usagi and Kakarot in this time line instead which makes you Lunarian and Saiya-jin instead of human. Trunks and Bra will be reborn to Vegeta and Rei, giving you the blood of Marsian and Saiya-jin. When Gohan grows old enough he will mate with Mercury having your daughter Pan. When we go back to the future, a thousand years from now, the two time lines will fuse. I may not be able to split the crystals from my form, but when the other senshi fuse with yourselves you will regain them back from them."

"This is all confusing."

"Not really," Raven said. "What's she saying is when you go forward a thousand years, the stronger part of yourselves will take over in the end. That means the eight of you will become the senshi again, while Kakarot, Vegeta and Usagi become Aremes, Dion and Aresta. You will understand when you go back."

"I'm not going back," Haruka stated.

"Why not?" Michuru asked.

"I didn't find someone to love, to simply leave him a thousand years later. And how do you explain why we don't age, Aresta?"

"During the silver alliance of my mother, anyone that joined them gained the eternal youth of the silver crystal. That means that none of us grow old and die by age."

"I'm not letting her go either," Turles growled. "I managed to get over one mate leaving me, I can't over another."

Raven sighed. "You're making things more difficult than they are Turles. I wouldn't have made you stay here even if you wanted to. Because you don't have a future self, I will allow you to go with them so you don't have to wait a thousand years for her to show back up."

Haruka smiled and hugged Turles tighter to her. "I guess I can't argue anymore. Although, I was looking forward to a normal life, but as long as we're together then I'm ok with it."

"We would get bored with normal lives anyway," Makoto said.

"I have a question," Gohan said. "If our parents change, and they become immortals when we go back does that mean we change as well?"

"Yes."

Chibi Vegeta and Kakarot came running in to hug Shada and Ares tight. Turles had decided to go ahead and tell Bardock about Kakarot and to have him tell the King about his son. In the future they will have to claim their real birth right.

"Mamma," Vegeta cried. "Me miss you."

"I'll see you in the future child when you remember everything." Kakarot had wrapped his tail around Aries arm again and nuzzled his head against his shirt, almost crying. Shada wanted to cry, but she couldn't ask Bardock and King Vegeta to take their children away so they can raise them their selves.

That's when she received a shock from both of them when they came in. King Vegeta smiled sadly at his son, but when he saw Dion he knew that the decision he was about to make was the best one. "They are not going to stay with us," King Vegeta told her.

"What are you talking about?" Shada said.

"They need to reclaim their birthrights before they become the age they were when they came here. If it wasn't for them, neither of them would be here right now, but with Frieza and on Earth leading lives that were nothing but hardship and pain. Vegeta, from the looks of his future self, will not be claiming the Saiya-jin throne. Hotaru will, or her children will it doesn't really matter."

"Bardock?" Aries asked. "Is this what you desire as well? Know that we will not force you."

"I'm willing to do it, even if I hate to see them go. Besides if we keep them, they're going to kill us before they reach ten. Every time we tried to take them from each other, they throw a fit and end up taking a room with them. Just do us a favor and let us see them as they grow older."

Shada whispered something in Aries ear and he smiled. "That I can fix. Bardock, because of what you've done today, you will have another son. Go spend some time with your mate. King Vegeta, you will have another heir to the throne. Hotaru is destined to take the throne of Saturn so she cannot be your choice. If you choose the same names as before that is up to you, or you can choose different ones. I will send Aremes and Dion down to claim their mates when the time comes." Tears were streaming down Shada's face at the gift she was given. She would have her chance to raise the boys that she would never have a chance if Erebus had won.

"Thank you so much."

Aresta went over to Chronos and started to heal him from the battle with Erebus and he woke up to see everyone smiling at him, especially his wife. "Oww! I have a headache. Who won?"

"Would we be standing here if we had lost?"

"Alright, so I'm not all here yet." He looked around and noticed the two Saiya-jins resting in Shada's and Ares's lap. "I see you've come to a decision to take your children back."

"Yes." Ares frowned. "Chronos, why do I get a feeling you knew this was how everything was going to turn out."

"I know everything about time. The time line that these warriors came from was an accident. So I allowed Android 17 to gain the power of time and send them here. Everything will be close to what it was going to be now and I will make sure it doesn't change again. I'm not like Pluto and I will be a lot faster at giving my sentence."

Kakarot found Aries's tail and was pulling on it because it was red, and not the normal brown color. "He has a strong grip for a kid."

"It's time to go," Chronos said as he opened the gates of time. As they walked back through the time stream, they began to feel the effects of the changes coursing through them. Gohan, Goten, Bra, Pan and Trunks had to bear through the pain of their blood changing. As predicted by Aresta, Gohan and Goten were born to them instead of Chi-chi being their mother. Pan was born later after Mercury and Gohan mated together. Trunks and Bra were born to Dion and Mars to later have Trunks mate Venus.

Aremes and Dion were having memories of spending time with Shada and Aries run through their minds and felt a lot of the angry bitterness leave them. Not only had the younger versions become stronger, but they were a lot more caring than they would have been. Aremes smirked at what he had to go through to get Usagi when he first saw her, taking the throne of the moon kingdom.

With a flash they were back on Earth, but things were definitely not the same as there was a huge change around them. All eight women blinked at the thoughts that were hitting them at once. "We're running our own kingdoms now on our planets?" Haruka asked shocked.

"Yes. You all have your sailor crystals from your past selves fused with you, while Aresta remains who she is. Basically the stronger version is the one that will take over the time from here on out. Your senshi forms were stronger and may be needed in the future. All will tell in time. Mercury and Gohan, run the planet Mercury and your daughter is nine-year old Pan." Pan was still in a daze about what had happened on the way back, but she smiled and ran over to give Ami a big hug. "Venus and Trunks, rule the planet Venus and are expecting a child due in about six months or so." Trunks blinked and stared at Venus and then her stomach. A bright blush appeared on her face as she was pulled closer. "Piccolo will watch over this one while I take on the time stream with my wife Raven. She is still the senshi of Earth, but Piccolo's powers will be suitable enough. Aresta, you and Aremes are in charge of the moon kingdom. Dion and Mars, rule the planet Mars and had Bra nine years ago according to the time line that you helped create. Goten and Jupiter have the planet Jupiter. Ryouga and Saturn rule the planet Saturn. Turles and Uranus, rule the planet Uranus. Endymion and Neptune, rule the planet Neptune, and last but not least Pluto rules Pluto. You know who your mate is child and he's waiting for you to return. Take care and live the futures that have been given to you well."

The women all hugged and said good-bye as they went to their separate planets through a teleport system that was created by the silver and Saiya-jin alliance. Aremes and Dion clasped hands together and nodded to each other that they would be around to see each other later.

When Pluto walked through the old hallways of her castle, she felt nervous. She unlike the others had never been free from the time stream like the other senshi. So this would be the first time she would be with her mate in over a thousand years. Walking into her room, she touched the walls and then the bed and sighed. 'I've never had the chance to see what it's really like to live outside of the time stream for long periods of time.'

'Then now is a good time to start.' A kiss was laid on her neck and then her lips as she was turned around into strong arms. Pluto hugged her mate. "I've missed you so much Paragus."

"Well, considering you've only been gone a few minutes, it hasn't been that bad."

"It seems like a thousand years has gone by instead."

"You're acting strange. Maybe you should get some rest and I'll run things until you're feeling better."

Pluto grabbed his neck and kissed him with a longing that hurt, and pulled him down to the bed on top of her. "I love you Paragus. Don't ever leave me again."

"I haven't left you since I went to get Broli and Ryouga to come back here. If you're feeling neglected and like I haven't been with you in awhile, then I'll take care of that problem right now. His hands quickly moved up her dress and pulled her closer to him. "Is this enough attention, or would you like more?"

"I'm not going anywhere any time soon."

"I wasn't planning on letting you."

Aresta was looking around at her white room with the stars and moon designed into them. "I never thought I would be running the moon kingdom."

"Everything worked out in the end, so all that worrying Pluto was doing, was for nothing. The senshi are back, we remain immortal along with our sons and daughters. I'm still a bit confused about how all this fusion stuff works, but as long as all the children are here I'm satisfied. Where are Rini and Rena?"

"Sleeping in their beds. The Rini from the future fused with our Rini so she can lead a better life than what she remembered."

"So everyone among the silver and Saiya-jin alliance don't age either. So that means King Vegeta is still ruling his planet."

"Yes. You know all this, so why are you saying it?"

"No offense, but I may have the memories of my past self, but it's taking it a little while for it to catch up with me. A thousand years is a lot of information, especially when you have two loving parents taking care of you in the other life time."

"That is true. You know Aremes, I've spent a long time alone before I decided to split into the crystals and now I find myself for the first time with a soul mate that I couldn't bare to be without."

"Speaking of which," Aremes said pinning her to the bed, "I need to fix something." Turning her head to the side, he bit down hard, remarking what was his. Licking up the blood, he smiled, "now everyone will know that you belong to me."

"Are you still going to want me in a few thousand years?"

"Let's worry about that when it gets here. At the moment, I want to do something else."

Slowly pulling the zipper down off the back of her dress, she started to take the armor off of her mate. "Eternity is a long time."

"But not so long if we have each other. Even Dion is happy knowing that Mars will not age and die on him."

"That doesn't make her immortal though. We need to make sure we protect those we care about, Aremes."

"You don't have to tell me twice."

Mars was pressed against the wall with her mate Dion kissing her as if there was no tomorrow. "I'm going to have to get use to calling you Dion now. I can't believe Trunks and Bra are my children now."

"Suits me fine. Never liked that woman Bulma anyway. When Bardock told us that was going to be the original plan for us was, I nearly choked and blew up the planet Earth. Bulma was a prostitute, while Chi-chi became a wanted criminal by the law because of her and her father killing several innocent people over fire mountain. Now Piccolo has his wish about ruling the Earth and he didn't have to kill any of the inhabitants to do it."

"So, are we going to have any more children?"

"Isn't four enough, woman? Bra is enough to handle as it is, and you know she's going to have a lot of suitors after her."

"I doubt they'll mess with her daddy too much if they want to live through the experience. Besides, she needs another sister."

"Who am I to disappoint my mate? However, I forbid you to get yourself killed in battle again."

Her babies, Phobos and Deimos were resting in a crib next to their bed so that they could get to them easily if they should start crying. Bra had a room of her own, next to theirs incase she needed to get to them right away.

Unlike Aremes and Aresta, the children of Mars and Dion were demi-gods and godesses that will reclaim their power when they're older. Trunks has already come into his power and was on the power level that Vegeta was before he became a God.

Gohan and Goten were a force to be reckoned with if anyone dared to mess with them or their mates. Goten took after his father and grandfather, while Gohan had the temperament of his mother and grandmother. Shada was a lot happier now and she traveled back and forth between the shadow world and her life on Mount Olympus. She let her father take care of things for the time being and only checked up on it when she needed to. She refused to let loneliness effect her decisions anymore.

Little did Shada know, was that she was expecting more children and Ares only waited for her to find out. All the senshi were pregnant and their mates guarded them with a fierce protection that was feared by all. Endymion was the only one that was human and not despised by most. Piccolo and Amazon would work on changing the people of Earth for a long time, but for the time being, they were happy on top of the lookout leading their new lives together.
