Silver Powers by Usagi Carter Chapter 1 Thanks to A Sailor Moon Romance for posting all my stories. Mayo Chan for all the support and encouragement. Thanks to some special authors for their inspiration: Danielle, Mark Berger, Alicia Blade, Lilac Summer, Lady, Marianne Cabe, Chris Davies, and many more. I don’t own Sailor Moon. Please don’t sue me, I have no money. I do own the characters and the powers I introduce in this story. All the Silver powers and the four moon generals as well as most of Cape Boy’s powers and all of the Prince’s guards’ powers are mine. Also, in this, even though Serena hasn’t been Sailor Moon since before Reenie was born, she still has the power to be Sailor Moon. Enjoy the show! Usagi Carter “May I present, Neo Queen Serenity.” Sailor Pluto said as I walked out onto the balcony of the Crystal Palace. “Thank you Sailor Pluto. Citizens of Crystal Tokyo, it is time to rebuild our lovely city! The Sailors have banished the Dark Moon Family!” I said as the crowd roared. “Your Majesty, something’s wrong with Sailor Venus.” Mercury whispered in my ear. “Please excuse me. Sailor Venus has fallen ill and I wish to go to her.” I said as I rushed off the balcony following Sailor Mercury to the infirmary. “Amy, what’s wrong with her?” I asked. “She’s glowing a silvery orange and she’s moaning.” Mercury said as I saw Venus laying on a bed. “Mina, can you hear me?” I asked. “Serenity, evil is approaching. We’re all going to get sick from this.” She said, looking me directly in the eyes. “She’s tired. She doesn’t know what she’s saying!” Uranus said. “NO! Venus looked me in the eye. She must be telling me the truth! Send word! I want all the Senshi to meet in the Sacred Fire Room in one hour! Amy, can Mina make it?” “I think so.” “Then let’s get her there! Move people!” I screamed. “Paige, please come here.” I said as one of the young girls rushed to me. “Please find King Endymion and notify him of what’s happening.” “Yes your majesty.” She said as she ran off. One Hour Later “Has anyone seen Serenity?” Neptune asked as all of the Senshi sat in a half circle around Venus, Mars, and the fire. “I can’t find her anywhere.” Endymion said as he entered. “Well, I can’t start without her. She’s the only one other than Pluto that is going to be able to make any sense of the things I may see.” Mars said. “Begin Raye.” I said as I walked into the room. “Your Majesty…” Haruka said. “NO! It’s Sailor Moon, Eternal Sailor Moon!” Mars said with a smile. When I came into the light, everyone looked up in surprise. “Long live Sailor Moon.” Hotaru said as I sat next to Mina. “Let’s get this going.” I said to Raye. “Everyone concentrate. Serenity, look into the fire with me.” Raye said as I looked into the fire. “I see eight men. Four are very familiar to the Inner Senshi, where four are very familiar to the Outer Senshi. I see each of our signs, Mercury through Pluto, with the exception of Earth, in our Planet colors and a light silver around them. Serenity’s is a dark silver.” Raye said before she collapsed. “Amy, Hotaru, take Mina back to the infirmary. Haruka, Lita, help Raye to her quarters. If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the Crystal Chamber.” I said as I got up and left. Chibi Usa and Endymion followed me. “Daddy, why is Mommy acting weird?” Chibi Usa whispered to Endymion. “Usa, I’ll explain it later. Go to your room for now. I must speak with your mom alone.” He said as Chibi Usa skipped to her room. Once I entered the Crystal Chamber, I sat down and stared at the Silver Crystal. “I know what’s happening Mamo-chan.” I said as tears streamed down my cheeks. “Usako, what is it?” he asked as he knelt next to me. I looked up at him and smiled, but my smile then turned to a frown. “The Senshi are gaining their legendary Silver Powers. Mamo-chan, this will be my last run as Sailor Moon. After the girls receive their powers, the original Senshi of the Moon will no longer be needed.” I said as more tears flowed. “Shh. Love, at least you’ll get part of the normalcy you always wanted.” He laughed, trying to lighten the mood. “But if I’m no longer Sailor Moon, you won’t be Tuxedo Mask anymore. Even though we haven’t used our powers in so long, we’ll still lose them.” I said as his laughing stopped. “Are you serious?” he asked. All I could do was nod my head in response. “Well, it’ll make it easier to protect you.” He said. “That’s not the point! It means the girls are going to be minus two! It means no more Sailor Moon or Tuxedo Mask! I’m not sure I can handle that!” I raised my voice. It surprised both of us cause it had been an extremely long time since I’d raised my voice at him. “I’m sorry. I need to be by myself right now to figure out what to do. I’ll be in the gardens if you need me.” I said as I rushed out of the room. “I love you Usako.” He whispered into the air as I ran from the room. “I love you too Mamo-chan.” I whispered back. In the gardens “Mother, if you can hear me, please, I need your help.” I whispered. “My dear Serena. What is it you wish to talk to me about?” she asked as she appeared. “Mother, is this really Sailor Moon’s last stand?” I asked as tears streamed. “My dear, she has been come a big part of your life, ne?” “Yes. In the beginning and times afterward, I wished I didn’t have to be Sailor Moon, but mother, I’ve done so much more good than I thought I would as the Champion of Justice. I don’t want this to be the end.” I cried into her lap where I had placed my head. “Shh. My sweet Serena. Sailor Moon will always be a part of you. Daughter, things will work out. Sailor Moon won’t die. I promise you.” “Mother, I know she won’t, but I don’t like the idea of not being able to be her.” “I know. Just remember what I said, things will work out. Give my love to everyone.” She said before she faded away. “Thank you, and I love you.” I said as I fell asleep on the bench. “There she is!” Haruka said as they approached my sleeping form. “Everybody, quiet. I’ll call his Majesty.” Mars said as she beeped Endymion and he came rushing into the garden. “So it’s true. She won’t be Sailor Moon much longer?” Saturn asked. “Yes. Don’t say anything about it. She’s so upset by this whole turn of events that right now she just needs to sleep.” Endymion said as he picked me up. “Let’s get her inside.” Jupiter said as they walked back into the palace.
