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, 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 are mine. 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 Silver Powers - Chapter 5 Three days later “Mom, where did Sailors Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Uranus go to?” Reenie asked me as we rode our horses around the Palace grounds. “On a mission.” “Mom, what’s going to happen to Sailor Moon?” “Well, right now, I’m not sure. As much as I can tell you, you will be the only Sailor Moon after this is over, so I guess we get to take away the Chibi on your Moon. Won’t that be nice?” I asked as I finally looked at her. I hadn’t noticed it till now, but she was silently crying. “Chibi Usa, dismount your horse and come here.” I said as we both got off our horses and she rushed to me. “My baby girl. What’s wrong Small Lady?” I asked as she cried and cried into my dress. “Mommy…I…don’t…want you…to not be…Sailor Moon!” she cried harder as she said it. “Oh sweetie. It’s okay. No matter what happens, and I believe this because Grandma Serenity told this, no matter what happens, I’ll always be Sailor Moon.” “I know, but, I just don’t like the idea of you not being able to defend yourself.” “Small Lady, do you want to know what Sailor Mars reminded me of not too long ago?” “What is that?” “She said no matter what, I could always fight. And the reason for that is because I have the Silver Crystal. I will continue to fight, fight until I have no breath left in my body. I love you, and your daddy, and all your aunts as well as everyone on this earth and in this universe. I will fight even when I can’t, even if I’m not the Champion of Justice, Sailor Moon. I will continue to fight for what I believe in, because I believe in the power of love.” I said as she looked at me. “You know, that sounds awfully familiar.” She said. “It should, think back to your visit to the twentieth century, you remember I made the same speech. When we fought with Rubeus and the four sisters and Emerald. I made the same statement to you as just plain old Serena.” “I remember. It was the one night, after daddy had saved you from the droid that had put you in the eternal sleep.” “Yes, it was, but I made that promise the day I became Sailor Moon. In all actuality, I made that promise back on the moon, when I was just Princess Serenity, as you are now. Small Lady, I want you to make a promise to me.” “What promise Mommy?” “Promise me that no matter what happens, no matter what you do, promise you’ll always fight for what you believe in and what you love. Fight for those things, just as I have.” “I promise Mommy, I promise.” She said as we mounted the horses again. “Serenity!” “Endymion, what is it?” I asked. “Mars, Mercury, Uranus and Venus are all back, and Serenity, they’ve brought the generals.” “Alright, let me and Chibi Usa put the horses away and I’ll meet everyone in the throne room. Has Jupiter recovered enough to help us welcome them?” “Yes.” “Alright, have the Senshi take their positions in the throne room and Chibi Usa and I will meet you in there in twenty minutes.” “All right love, see you in twenty minutes.” He said as he rushed off back to the palace and Chibi Usa and I went to the stables. The Royal Throne Room Twenty minutes later “Presenting her Majesty, Neo Queen Serenity, his Majesty King Endymion, and her highness, Princess Serenity.” The guard called out as the three of us walked into the throne room and took our seats. “Presenting, the Inner Senshi. Silver Sailor Venus, Commander. Silver Sailor Mars, second in command. Sailor Jupiter, third in Command. Silver Sailor Mercury, fourth in command.” Another guard said as the Inners took their places on my right. “Presenting the Outer Senshi, with the exception of Sailor Pluto. Sailor Uranus, Commander. Sailor Neptune, second in command. Sailor Saturn, third in command.” Yet another guard said as the Outers flanked Chibi Usa’s left. “Please, bring forth the visitors.” I said as a guard escorted eight men to the front of the assembly in the throne room. “Gentlemen, all of us know who you are, and now you know who we are, but everyone else does not know you, so please introduce yourselves.” I said as the Moon Generals stepped forward. “I am Galen, Commander of her Majesty’s, Queen Serenity of the Silver Millennium, Moon Generals. I am also known as the Hawk, guardian of the Moon sky.” “I am Blair, second in command to Galen. I am also known as the Shark, guardian of the Moon sea.” “I am Nikio, third in command. I am also known as the Spider, guardian of the Moon terrain.” “And I am Logan, fourth in command. I am also known as the Bear, guardian of Moon life.” “Thank you gentlemen. I am Neo Queen Serenity.” “You’re majesty, I know you probably won’t appreciate this much, but what happened to Queen Serenity of the Moon?” Galen asked. “Dear Galen, Queen Serenity no longer exists on this plane except in Spirit form. She died in the last battle on the Moon when Beryl attacked. How do you think you ended up here on Earth?” “Your highness, who are you?” Blair asked me. “I am the Neo Queen, my dear Blair, but you once knew me as Princess Serenity Usagi II, daughter of Queen Serenity of the Silver Millennium and the Moon Kingdom.” I said as the eight men stared at me in surprise. “The Moon Princess, now the Neo Queen of Earth?” Nikio asked. “Yes Nikio. I’m sure you four gentlemen remember the Senshi.” “Yes, we do.” Logan said. “Logan, Sailor Pluto will be here shortly. She is taking care of business at the Gate of Time. She knows of your arrival and asked me to tell you hello.” I said as we smiled at each other. “Thank you, Queen Serenity.” “Now, your four gentlemen must introduce yourselves.” I said as I spoke to the Earth Generals. “I am Kunzite, Commander of Prince Endymion’s Generals. I also command the power of Earth Love.” “I am Jedite, second in command of the Princes’ Generals. I also command the power of Earth Fire.” “I am Nephlyte, third in command. I also command the power of Earth Nature.” “I am Zoiscite, fourth in command. I control the power of Earth Ice.” “Gentlemen, welcome. It’s nice to see you four back to your old selves. I’m sure his majesty is happy to have his four best friends and generals back.” I said as the all of us looked at Endymion. He was smiling from ear to ear. “That I am. Now, I’m sure your four remember the Inner Senshi.” “Yes your majesty.” Kunzite replied. “And these are the Queen’s Outer Senshi, with the exception of Pluto. Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn.” Endymion said as they each took a step forward at the mention of their name. “Serenity, I hate to interrupt, but look at Sailor Jupiter!” Mercury yelled as Lita started to glow silvery green. “Uranus! Mars! Neptune! Get her to the infirmary! Venus, Mercury, go with them. Saturn, take Chibi Usa and go to Pluto. Bring her back here. Endy, I’m sure you can take care of the eight of them while I take care of Sailor Jupiter?” “Queen Serenity, I wish to come with you, please.” Nephlyte said in worry. “Nephlyte, I’d be honored. Please escort me to the infirmary.” I said as I took his offered arm and we scurried to the infirmary and everyone else went about with his or her intended duties. “Your majesty, what’s happening to Sailor Jupiter?” “She is receiving her Silver Powers, General.” “Oh. You can call me Nephlyte. What are Silver Powers?” he asked. “Well, they are the highest power the Senshi can receive. The only power higher that my Senshi can receive is the power of the Queen of her planet, which is actually going to happen once their daughters reach their teen years. But that will be a very long time from now. None of them have married or had children yet.” I said as he smiled at me. “We’re here.” He said as we walked in. Mars, Uranus, Neptune and Venus we’re holding Jupiter down. “Serenity! Hurry! She’s been glowing like this for ten minutes!” Mercury said as I rushed to Lita’s side. “Lita, concentrate, please.” “I’ll try, just hurry!” she screamed in agony. As she did I noticed the pained expression on Nephlyte’s face. ‘Poor guy. Seeing her like this must be killing him.’ I thought as I absent mindedly called on the Silver Crystal. “Lita, ready?” “YES!” she screamed. “Silver Crystal Extract!” I screamed as the Jupiter Silver Emerald Nature Crystal came forth. “Thank you Serenity.” “Your welcome dear friend. Now rest, Nephlyte will watch over you and Amy will be here if you need her.” I said as I kissed Lita’s forehead and she went to sleep. “Nephlyte, do me a favor, and stay here with her. She needs you.” I said as he sat in the spot I had vacated. “The rest of you file out. You need rest and some of you are on duty now, are you not?” I asked as Neptune hurried off to her post. “Serenity, we can’t sleep. Saturn isn’t here and you know very well there’s always supposed to be two Senshi on duty at all times.” Mars said. “There is two Senshi on duty.” “Mercury can’t handle this and looking after Jupiter.” Uranus said. “Mercury doesn’t have to you guys. Sailor Moon is on duty, isn’t she Serenity?” Venus asked. “Very perceptive Venus. Eternal Moon is on duty till Saturn returns. Now, the rest of you get some rest. I’ll notify you if something happens.” I said as they reluctantly went to their quarters. In the infirmary. “Lita. Lita.” “Mother? Is that you?” “Princess Lita of Jupiter, Sailor Jupiter, Third in command of the Moon Princess’ Inner Guard, it is time for you to learn of your silver powers. Sailor Jupiter, come with me.” The Queen of Jupiter said as Lita fell into a deeper sleep. “Where are we?” Lita asked. “We are on Jupiter, in the Royal Palace where you grew up. Sailor Jupiter, do you understand what’s going on?” “Not really.” “Well, this is the ultimate level for a Sailor Senshi. Your Silver Powers can only be surpassed by the powers you will receive as the Queen of Jupiter. That too, is coming before too long. Neo Queen Serenity will tell you basically what you need to know. What she won’t be able to tell you, cause she doesn’t know, is that all your attacks as Sailor Jupiter and Super Sailor Jupiter have been power boosted. They are much stronger now and you can use all of them as Silver Sailor Jupiter.” “Awesome!” “Yes.” “Mom, what’s going to happen to Serenity as Sailor Moon? What are we going to do without our leader?” “Lita, you won’t be without her. She’ll always be your leader, and deep in her heart, and all of yours too, she’ll always be Sailor Moon. Jupiter, she’ll be going through something soon, that you won’t be able to save her from. Lita, calm down, I know what you’re thinking. She’s not in extreme danger yet, but Lita, if you don’t protect her and be there for her like you always have been, she may be before long. Lita, there’s a new enemy coming, and he’s very powerful. Protect the young Neo Queen, and remember, I love you. Now, it’s time to go back. Your lover awaits by your bed.” “Mother, can they be trusted?” “Yes. Lita, the four of you Inners were betroved to the Earth Generals while the Outers were betroved to the Moon Generals. Trust in your love for each other and believe in the power of love.” “I love you too mother, and thank you.” Lita said as she awoke to see Nephlyte where he had been when I left the room. “Nephlyte.” She whispered. “Lita, are you okay?” “Yes. Could you do me two favors?” “Anything.” “First, will you get me some water.” She asked as he reached for a glass and handed it to her. After she drank it, gave the glass back, and he set it on the table, she asked for the second favor. “Second, will you kiss me.” She said with a smile. He smiled too and did as she asked. Fireworks were evident for the two of them. The Next Day, in the training grounds “All right. Now, the Inner Senshi have gained their Silver Powers, and I’m pretty sure the Outers are going to follow soon. Sailor Jupiter, let’s work on your attack and transformation. To transform shout ‘Silver Jupiter Crystal Power’. Now, you’re only new attack I know of is ‘Silver Emerald Nature Electrify’ and that’s exactly how you call upon it. Now, try it.” I said as we all backed up and let her go to work. “SILVER JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!” she shouted as she was engulfed in a silvery green light. “Lita, try your attack!” I said as she pointed the crystal to the sky. “SILVER EMERALD NATURE ELECTRIFY!” she screamed as tiny silvery green bolts of lightning shot out and thunder was heard. She pointed the crystal at boulders and trees and burnt the trees and dusted the boulders. “Nice job Jupiter. Why don’t we all go inside and get something to eat, I’m starving.” I said as everyone cracked up laughing. “Serenity, there is evil coming.” Pluto said as I lagged behind. “I know, I can feel it. Pluto, what am I to do?” I asked. “Be ready. Your Senshi will not let you down, and your family will help you. Serenity, you’ll have to choose between love and lust, and you need to know, as I said before, don’t waver from what you believe in, no matter what the cost.” Pluto said as she went back through the time portal. “I’ll try Pluto, by my honor, I’ll try.” I said as I joined the others inside.
