Epilogue

It had been a couple of weeks since everything had happened. Setsuna seemed more withdrawn than usual. She rarely talked. She was taking this hard. Nobody blamed her for that, but they were worried. She didn't cry as much like she did the first few nights, but she wouldn't say much of anything. Haruka and Michiru had called an emergency meeting with the senshi and the others.

"There has to be something we can do for her," Haruka said. Everyone else was silent. Haruka spoke up. "Come on guys, I had a hard enough time dealing with cryptic Setsuna. But she had her job and was bound to certain rules so I could deal with that. But I can't stand around doing nothing while a close friend of mine is slowly dying." She turned to Usagi. "Princess please, please help her." The senshi of wind finally fell to her knees. The others were shocked to see how weak and vulnerable the normally strong senshi of Uranus was. Usagi turned to each of her friends. The senshi were all miserable that Setsuna was acting like a zombie. The Amazon Quartet, the Shittenou and Starlights, the Cosmic Sailors, Peruru, Helios, Ann, and Alan each wished something better for the time guardian. Usagi sighed. "I'm not sure how to even begin." Just then a bright light shone in the middle of the room. They heard a voice.

"Chibi-Chibi!" the little girl drifted down slowly and landed softly down. She looked at Usagi and squealed. "Chibi-Chibi!"

Usagi picked her up and asked, "Chibi-Chibi? What are you doing here? What's going on?"

"Chibi-Chibi," the little girl said. The door opened and all found Setsuna coming in slowly. She looked at everyone and saw Chibi-Chibi. "Hello little, what brings you here?" Chibi-Chibi leapt out of Usagi's arms and raced toward Setsuna and stopped in front of her. Chibi-Chibi eyes had caught something very interesting to her. Pinned to Setsuna's shirt was the white rose from Jasper. Chibi-Chibi began to jump up and down screaming repeatedly, "Chibi-Chibi! Chibi-Chibi! Chibi-Chibi!" Setsuna looked to everyone and then back down to the little girl. "What are you saying Chibi-Chibi?"

"Chibi-Chibi! Chibi-Chibi!" She pointed over and over at the white rose. Galaxia looked between the little girl and the rose. Her eyes widen. "Chibi-Chibi are you sure?" Chibi-Chibi turned to Galaxia and smiled and nodded her head yes. Galaxia turned to everyone else in the room. She locked eyes with Setsuna last.

"He's alive."

He sat there. He didn't know how long he had been there. He just knew that he was slowly fading away. So peaceful. So quiet. I wonder how long I've been here. I've lost count of the hours, days, weeks, months, maybe even years I've sat here. I suppose it doesn't matter. I'm just so tired now. I really should just close my eyes and let whatever happens happen. "Maybe it's for the best if I just moved on, wherever that is.

"But if you move on she won't get to see you again." The man turn to see a beautiful woman filled with nothing but warmth. He stood up as a gentleman would do. "I'm sorry," he began, "I didn't realize there was someone else here." She smiled at him. "I've just arrived here actually. How long have you been here?"

He chuckled. "Longer than I can seem to remember. Everything has become foggy and hard to call anymore. I just know that I left someone behind. I broke a promise." He looked back at the woman. "This feeling I'm getting from you. I've felt it before. Have we met before this?" She smiled at him and shook her head. "No. The one you speak of is a female warrior, the princess of the moon, the future queen of earth." The man nodded his head. "Yes I feel like I know of her. Strange I must say. I can't remember her name though." The woman smiled and sat next to him. "Do you remember your name?"

The man looked at her. "Sapphire. My name is Sapphire."

He came upon a castle. Strange. What is a castle doing out here in the middle of no where. Man, the last time I died I was at peace. This time I'm finding fucking castles? Made of some kind of ice? Man, fuck this shit. Where's the endless abyss? At least there I can fall asleep. Alright that's it, the next time someone offers me a chance to live again, my answer is HELL NO/GO FUCK YOURSELF. Oh well, since I'm here I might as well check it out. I don't have anything else to do. He walked up to the castle doors. He tried to open them to no avail. "Locked," he said. "Maybe you need a woman's touch." He heard a voice say. He turned and looked around him but saw no one. Before he could ask anything the doors open. He walked in. He wasn't sure why he trusted this voice but he did. He followed the long hall down to the end where two more doors greeted him. They open and he saw a small room with one chair and someone sitting in that chair. The man walked to get a closer look of who this was and when he was able to make out who she was he fell to the ground bowing. "Queen Serenity?"

Queen Serenity smiled. "I have a mission for you."

"So now what do we do?" Jed asked.

Setsuna spoke up. "We have to go find Jasper and Zalazar." She, The Cosmic Sailors, Helios and Alan were finishing last minute packing. Mamoru spoke up. "How will you know where to look?" Galaxia pointed to Chibi-Chibi. "She is the light. If anyone can find them within the darkness, she can." Setsuna looked to her princess. "I have to do this Usagi. He's alive. I have to bring him back. I need him back. I just found him. I can't lose him again."

Usagi smiled. "We'll be here waiting. Be careful, all of you."

He awoke on a bed surrounded by candles. He wasn't sure what to do when he saw a woman walk in. "Good you're finally awake. It takes a lot of dark energy to get you back up to speed I see."

He looked at her wide eye. "Queen Beryl?"

She smirked. "Hello Valgeane. Long time no see. Have you missed me?"

The two stood atop of the building. A storm was heading towards them.

"Did you feel that?" One asked.

"Yeah. He's awake," the other said. The first one looked back at him. It's a good thing Shokk gave us these. It really does hide our presence. The second nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah. Let's find out what those two are up to." The looked down to see many mindless warriors coming to the foot of the building. A loud shriek made them look up to see a dragon flying towards them.

The first one looked to the second one. "Any terms of a plan?" The second laughed. "Personally? I kinda want to slay the ugly ass dragon." He looked down to see the warriors scaling the wall. He looked to the first one.

"Let's get to work."
