Chapter Ten- New Beginnings

Tatsuo found himself in bed. He tried to get up but gasped as he placed his arm on his banged chest. Lily was in the room with Violet sleeping on her. Tatsuo smiled at the old woman and Violet. He realised he had no shirt on and instantly thought to cover himself in case his sister woke up. He then tried to get himself up but was stopped by Serenity. Her warm blue eyes mesmerised him as she placed him back on the bed gently.

'You are still weak Tatsu-chan' Tatsuo held Serenity's hand and smiled at her.

'Are you ok?' Serenity nodded.

'Shaken but I think we all are. The Senshi and Shitennou are recovering. We will soon have to go down to the earth and repair it but Helios has already started'. It took a while as he was busy playing with Chibiusa, He had only recently left to start rebuilding.

'I can't believe it is all over. I don't know where we go from here. Everything has changed now' Tatsuo saw Serenity and the hurt she felt. He squeezed her hand to make her look at him.

'You have me now and I promise that for as long as I am alive I will protect you and love you with all my heart' Tatsuo forced himself up and took Serenity in his arms. She sat on the bed with him and let him stroke her hair.

'We will get through this Usa, I promise'. Serenity felt comforted by the familiar name. Tatsuo drew Serenity closer to him and eventually got her to lie on the bed with him. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her softly on her forehead.

Lily took Violet out of the room as she saw Tatsuo and Serenity speaking. Violet knew it was not the time to see her brother. She would come back later.

Sensing that they were gone Tatsuo placed Usagi on her back and started to kiss her softly. She was surprised at first but then she fell into his embrace. Feeling his hard strong body on hers she wrapped her arms around his neck as his kisses deepened and became more passionate. He murmured her name and started to kiss her neck. Placing a hand on her shoulder she winced slightly which made Tatsuo instantly stop. He then looked at her arm more closely and saw there was slight bruising left from the battle. He looked at her concerned and then rolled onto his back. Usagi felt rejected at first but then she was pulled onto his chest.

'I think we can wait until you're ready, I don't want to hurt you'. Usagi smiled and fell asleep in his arms.

The time came when they all went back to earth, even the Lunarians came back. Serenity wanted to rebuild Crystal Tokyo and Tatsuo was going to help her. It took time. There were some people who were left damaged from what King Endymion had done and they didn't completely trust Tatsuo. Tatsuo accepted this and didn't let it get to him. He knew he reminded them of Endymion and no one truly knew how bad things had gotten once the Shitennou had left. The maid who had carried Endymion's child had died with her child during the war. Many lost their lives trying to find safety.

The palace was rebuilt into the same formation it had before the war and Serenity healed the earth bringing back its greenery and flowers. Helios and Tatsuo went to Elysion and started to heal it as well. The golden crystal was now part of Tatsuo's very being as he felt a strong connection to the earth. He wanted everything to be normal again, peaceful. He had started his path to becoming the next King of the Earth.

They had reached the third year of Neo-Queen Serenity's reign and the earth was now fully restored. The Lunarians fell back into their old ways as people of the earth and peace seemed to have finally arrived. Serenity felt joy in her heart as she looked up towards the sky.

'This was the future we wanted Endymion, the future we often talked about, I hope you are proud of me'. Tatsuo came behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

'He is proud Usa, as am I'.

Months rolled on which saw the blossoming love between Tatsuo and Serenity. They spent most of their time together ruling the kingdom until one day Tatsuo asked her to marry him. He had taken her back to the Moon and proposed in front of the Fountain of Serenity. Serenity remembered she had met the Goddess Selene here. Serenity instantly said yes and jumped into Tatsuo's arms. She couldn't remember the last time she had felt so happy.

The wedding was beautiful. They married on the earth in the palace. Serenity had a sculpture built of the Goddess Selene with her arms outstretched as if reaching out to you. Serenity had her hair let down cascading down to her waist in soft silver curls. She had a veil and wore a beautiful white gown with a trail and a bodice type fitting. She held out a bouquet of red roses and smelled them as she walked up to the aisle. Tatsuo was in his knightly navy amour with a red cape and his golden sword by his side. He smiled as he took her hands in his.

'Usa, I know this was not the future you had waited for but we now have a chance to rebuild everything. I knew the moment I saw you that I loved you. It felt nostalgic, like a distant memory that never left. I knew that I would always cherish you. I promised myself to protect your dreams and to always be loyal. You are my everything Usako and I love you' Serenity started to cry tears of joy as they kissed and were pronounced husband and wife. Tatsuo had all the wonderful memories that Mamoru had but he had also started to build some of his own. He loved the way she would always think of others, the way she smiled when she was around her friends the Senshi and Shitennou. He loved the way she blushed when he would look at her and draw her in for a kiss. He couldn't keep his hands off her sometimes and he loved spending time with her. When she was away from her duties she was fun to be with. From what the Senshi told him she had once been klutzy and a cry-baby who was always late for something. This aspect would manifest itself every now and again and he loved this side of her. They would often get up to mischief playing tricks on people.

Rei had her son now and he was nearly three years old. He had short black hair and dark brown eyes. He was starting to look more like his mother which went some way to helping Jadeite accustom himself to his new situation. Serenity had started to allow Chibiusa to get to know her half-brother but made it clear that Chibiusa was the next ruler. Serenity suggested maybe Youta would be able to help take care of Elysion. Rei didn't mind. She was just glad she could have her son again and she would raise him to protect Serenity and Chibiusa. Serenity promised he would be treated as the prince he was and was welcomed into the family.

In time Serenity became pregnant again. Tatsuo was immensely happy and soon became protective of her always trying to make sure she was comfortable. Jadeite and Zoisite often made fun calling him 'the nanny'.

'She has to be careful' Tatsuo moaned.

'Yeah, she might trip over a carrot or choke on soup' Zoisite smirked. Tatsuo laughed.

'Ok I see your point, by the way she wouldn't trip over a carrot she'd probably run the other direction, she hates carrots'. Jadeite placed his arms on Tatsuo's shoulders.

'You know what, I think we will all be alright now' Jadeite looked towards Rei who was in her miko outfit. They smiled at each other.

'I think we are finally all at peace'.

The Goddess Selene watched on from the Moon and couldn't help but smile. Another woman stood next to her. She had long auburn coloured hair and soft brown eyes. She was in a pale pink gown with brown sandals.

'I am proud of her Eos, I think in time she will be ready' Eos smiled as she looked down towards Naru who was laughing with Motoki.

'I think they will both be ready when the time comes, for now let's leave them to their peace' Selene nodded.

'I bestow a gift on Serenity, one day she will be able to fight alongside her friends again as one of them…..she will become Sailor Cosmos and take my place'.

Far away from earth, not far from the sun a dark planet a lone man stood in white and gold armour. He had long wavy blonde hair and deep blue eyes. He looked intently towards where the sun was and took in its warmth. Behind him was a golden chariot with thick golden wheels and four white winged horses. He stood there in silence and only the hoofs on the horses stumping the ground could be heard. He loved the silence. It allowed him to think about his plans. He had watched from afar the events that took place on the earth. He was slightly amused at the Kings pathetic attempts to take over. He was weak and was never man enough for Serenity. And now this Tatsuo, another Endymion was nothing more than a door that could be kicked down. He smirked as he thought about Serenity.

'Enjoy your moments of peace my love, we will soon be together you and I and nothing will get in my way' the man laughed wickedly as he walked towards his chariot. Their time of peace was to come to an end.

Well, we have reached the end of this story and I want to say a massive thank you to all those who have reviewed, favourite and followed this story. You guys gave me so much support to reach the end so big, huge thank you :)

To answer N.J guest review questions I will try my best. Every timeline has its designated fate but if one goes off balance then time has to correct itself to put everything back in balance, its something Pluto later understood. That was the idea I was playing with when I brought Tatsuo in as he was another version of Endymion but from a different universe that didn't have a good outcome. The Goddess Selene was a silent player in this story. She brought Naru to the moon to be a support and she had more to do with the time stream than what Pluto knows although I never revealed this in the story. Selene has her motives for helping Serenity as was revealed in this chapter. Endymion was King of the Earth so Usagi restored the moon kingdom and ruled from afar. She believed that she could have a civil relationship with Endymion for the Earth and Moon to have peaceful relations. Rei's punishment length was uncertain, it depended on a lot of different things. Usagi didn't want to go back to Endymion which is why she ignored his pleas to come back to him. She had already made her mind up that she didn't trust him even though she did still love him. He grew depressed because he didn't have Usagi and knew what he had lost and in the Manga Endymion consulted his generals stones which is what I decided to go with here, they broke and were set free in response to Serenity.

If you have anymore questions you will have to PM me as I won't be returning to this story arc to add any new chapters. I do have a sequel in mind but I will need time to have an idea about the story.

Thanks again to all of you and I will be uploading my new story next week. It focusses on the first arc of Sailor Moon involving Queen Beryl but I have added my own ideas to it so hopefully you guys will like it.

Until next time see you guys soon :) xxx
