[In a compound like, and not like, Flashman's Flashpoint, we find out
intrepid writer in a theater of his headquarters, called Base Teknos. In
the theater we find Warhammer, speaking with a pair of albino girls. One
of them appears to be no older than 9 or 10 and the other appears about
14. They turn out to be Koorichi and Reina Ayanmi from WH's Seraphim's
Judgment. All three also appear to be decked out in formal wear, being
the wedding and all.
Reina: Wow. So you say, Kowaru doesn't find him, but I do?
WH: Yes and� oh you're here. With me today is the sisters Ayanami.
Koorichi: Greetings.
Reina: Hiya.
WH: And we were discussion the rewrite of Seraphim and the Aftermath.
Koorichi: Which you should say nothing more of until you have it
completed.
WH: Uh, yeah.
Koorichi: Also, I would like to take this opportunity to point out that
I am not like Kasumi from Ranma �. Kasumi-is something I would say. But
most of the time, I am dead serious.
Reina: {Smug} Which also means she can't take a joke. *PUACK*
{Koorichi's fist + Reina's face= BIG hurting for Reina.}
I wrest wmy cwase. (I rest my case.)
Koorichi: Plus, I do not have the Akane Tendou type temperament. I am
calm ALL of the time.
Reina: So you say Oneechan.
WH: Come on you two, can we just review the fic? ]
Folks, this is likely to be the longest one yet.
[Reina: Ha, I'll be the judge of that.]
<Teknosnip the ending SM song.>
Knight Productions present......
[WH: Hmph, he makes such a production out of everything.
Koorichi: Now that was bad.]
Sailor Moon/Crystal Knights
Neon Genesis Evangelion

crossover.]

Prologue 3: The Wedding: Part 4: "I do"
*************************************************
"After the unknown object was released from Ami's father by Sailor
Moon's new attack, we quickly restrained the man. Then Sailor Pluto
disappeared, saying something about how she needed to take care of
something. I cannot help but speculate on where she could have gone.
Part of me doesn't want to know the answer.
[Reina: I always hated vague characters like her.
WH: Get used to it.]
Major Martins, Captain Natsume, and myself were treated for minor
bruises and shock damage and released back to active duty. Forgive me
for a little more speculation, but I cannot help but wonder what will
happen now that the Senshi have new powers.
[WH: They're gonna have a kick-butt party! WOO!!]
Historical records show that each time the Senshi were powered up, a
new enemy appeared. I can't help but wonder what kind of enemy will
require powers like the Eternal Senshi have to defeat.
[WH: {Turns to the sisters} You two should know this one.]
The wedding will go on as scheduled, and we are beginning the
countdown with three days to go.
This wedding *will* happen. It *must*, for the future depends on
it."
--from the after action report submitted by Major Erica Carter-
[Reina: Last Action Report! Coming to a desk near you!]
--Nobeyama region, AD 2015--
The thirteenth Angel was ecstatic.
[Koorichi: {Imitating Bardiel, using a dull voice} In fact, I'm
radiant.]
It had found a way to return to Adam. Unlike that time fifteen
years ago, there were no Sailors present, and the forces facing it were
woefully inadequate. Not that they would dare try to destroy this
machine. Not with the Fourth Child still trapped inside. It had
already dispatched Eva units 02 and 00 was moving against Unit 01.
[WH: {Singing} ~ EVA 54, where are you? ~
{Both sisters look on with a look that says 'idiocy personified'}
Reina: We'd just be wasting time hitting him.]
<Hmmmm....>, the Angel thought, <my hostage is a friend to the
pilot. Now I know Unit 01 won't move against me...might as well have
some fun while I can.> With that the Angel possessed Eva Unit 03
started choking Unit 01, all the while Toji scre aming for the Angel to
stop. <HAHAHAHHHAAAHHHAH!!! Not likely, human!!> Then the Angel
felt...a familiar presence. <No...it can't be!!>
[Reina: HAPPOSAI! NOOO!!! {Surely enough, the indestructible old pervert
crashes in.}
Happy: {sees the sisters} Ohh, how unfortunate. You poor things, {Jumps
for them} Let me comfort� huh?
{Happosai is trapped inside the same force cage that came from the woman
who put him in it before he died in Hammer's Wrath. Nodoka
Saotome/Teknos Katana.}
Nodoka: Oh no you don't! {Grabs a corner of the cage} HEY SANSHI! YOU
HUNGRY?!
{The roof tears open to reveal WH's 03 EVA, and looking a bit hungry, it
nods. Nodoka throws up the cage and Happy disappears into Sanshi's
gaping maw.}
Sanshi: *CHOMP* *CHOMP* *CHOMP* *BURP* �excuse me�{Nodoka smiles and
runs off.}]
"Dead Scream."
A energy bolt washed against the trapped Entry Plug of Eva-03...to
absolutely no effect. Eternal Sailor Pluto floated there, dumbfounded
at the failure of her boosted attack. Then the Angel spoke.
[Koorichi: With it's mouth or with it's mind?]
"Well, well, we meet again, Sailor Pluto. This time, I won't be as
easy to defeat, and right now, you can't kill me without harming my
hostage, so I guess this time....I win."
[WH: {Using Announcer's voice} The Angels win the Pennant! The Angels
win the Pennant! *Crowd noise here*]
"No, Bardiel," Sailor Pluto spoke, "you will not win this day.
Whether I interfere or not, you will be defeated."
"HA!! That's where you're wrong, Pluto. These sentimental fools
won't lift a finger to destroy me. See how easily I'm defeating the
mightiest of these pathetic Evangelions?"
[Reina: Jeez, Bardiel was always a bully.
WH: How would you know?
Koorichi: I am � angel, imouto here is � angel, and Rei is � angel. We
do hear their taunts before they come.]
Sailor Pluto could see, and that troubled her. She knew she was
running out of time. If she couldn't free the pilot soon, NERV would
activate the Dummy Plug, which would destroy Bardiel, but also injure
the Fourth Child seriously. Then she got some unexpected help....
"DISRUPTOR BOLT!!"
"SHABON SPRAY!!"
[Reina: Wait, wait. Let me get this straight. She's attacking a 50 foot
machine, capable of unheard of destruction, with MIST?!]
Eternal Sailors Saturn and Mercury, appearing somewhat older, flew
in to float by Sailor Pluto. Pluto was, to not mince words,
dumbfounded. Before she could ask, Saturn answered.
"Neo Queen Serenity sent us back to help you, Pu." she said.
[Koorichi: Wait I though the pink no kami akuma was the only one who
called Pluto. 'Pu'?
WH: And come on people, even Mihoshi would know who this is!]
"Yes, and I wanted to go back as well, if only to help bring around
that thing's destruction." Mercury added, clenching one hand into a
fist as she remembered the events years ago.
[WH: Wow, someone tell Washu to write another one of them in the books.
Mercury's holding a serious grudge here.]
Pluto seemed to consider that for a second. "Very well," she said,
"in a few moments, NERV will activate Unit 01's Dummy Plug. Try and
keep it away for a few seconds while I attempt to free the pilot."
Pluto then teleported into the Entry Plug while Saturn and Mercury
turned to face Eva-01.
[WH: Uh, not a good idea.]
Saturn pointed the Silence Glaive forward. "SILENCE WALL!!"
Mercury concentrated, drawing the water present in the air into a
solid wall of ice.
Their quick efforts were needed, because a few moments later,
Eva-01's eyes lit up, and it began to roar and push against the double
barriers in order to get at the Angel-possessed Eva. The barriers
seemed to hold for now, though it would only be a matter of time.
[WH: {Imitating 01 and vibrating violently}
SUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRGE!!
{Both sisters sweat nervously}]
***Inside the Entry Plug of Unit 03***
Toji Suzuhara was trying to gain some semblance of control back over
the possessed Unit 03. This proved to be useless, for the Angel had
complete control over the Eva. Worse, he couldn't even eject. Worse
than that, the Angel was making hi m watch as it systematically
demolished Evas 02 and 00. Then it went up against Unit 01. Toji
screamed as Unit 03 started choking Unit 01.
[WH: When EVA relationships go bad. Next on Geraldo!]
"Goddammit!!" he shouted, banging on the controls, "stop it!!
That's my friend in there!!!" He could barely register the impact of
something against the Plug's walls. Then he heard another impact, and
suddenly, the area around the two units was filled with fog. "What
the...?" he said.
"Toji Suzuhara." a voice said.
[Reina: {Imitating voice} Your pizza is ready.]
Toji turned around in shock. A woman with green hair was crouched
behind him in the Entry Plug. She was wearing what looked like a
shortened sailor fuku with *wings*. In one hand, she held a staff that
looked somewhat like a overgrown key. "Who....who are you? An Angel?"
he said.
[R & K: No, we are!]
"No, Toji," she replied, "I am Sailor Pluto, the Guardian of Time,
and I've come to get you out of here."
"Why?" he asked.
"Because in a few minutes, Eva 01 will go berserk and attack Unit
03. The resulting damage will injure you so severely that you will lose
an arm and a leg." she said.
[WH: {imitating Touji} Will this rescue cost an arm and a leg? *PUNCH*
*WHACK*]
"Oh, okay." He said, and started to loosen the restraints.
Another voice boomed from within the Entry Plug. "NO!!! You will
not free him!!" The LCL pressure started to rise....
[Koorichi: And the fabric softener was brought in to clean their clothes
to perfection.]
Pluto got on her communicator. "Saturn! Distract him!" she gasped.
[All: {Imitating Saturn and pointing here and there} LOOK! A big
distracting thing!]
Outside, Saturn let go of the shield long enough to fire another
Disruptor Bolt at Unit 03. The Angel roared in pain and the pressure
let up just enough for Pluto to free Toji, who had lost consciousness
due to the pressure.
[WH: {Announcer's voice again} What's this? It looks like Suzuhara is
being brought from the field, but it looks like he will return for the
second half of the ADAM BOWL! *Makes more crowd noise*]
She got on the communicator again. "Saturn, Mercury! Release the
shield...NOW!!" With that, she teleported just as Unit 01 tore through
the shield. Sailors Saturn and Mercury flew away in time, but Eva 03
was, in a couple of words, bloody scrap.
[All: {Sarcastic} Yummy.]
Afterwards, the NERV recovery teams had gotten Auska and Rei out of
their Evas. Rei was unconscious from her fight. Auska was laying on
another stretcher when a bright flash of light got everyone's
attention.
[Koorichi: What can you say? God's enjoying the show.]
Floating above everyone, were three winged women, two of them
carrying staffs of some kind. The center woman, the one with green
hair, was holding an unconscious Toji. Floating down, she put Toji on
the ground beside Auska. Standing up, she said, "For the sake of the
future, this child has been saved. Protect him, Auska Soryu, and
protect yourself and the other Children, for there will be other
hardships in the future."
[Reina: Uh oh�
Koorichi: You don't think�
{WH's Ego swells}
R & K: *Sigh* Of course.
Reina: Brain, please burst his bubble and say you weren't inspired by
WH's pairing in SJ?]
"Who are you??" was all Auska could ask, mystified by the sudden
appearance of apparent legends...
The green haired woman smiled. "I am Sailor Pluto. Do not despair,
for you will see us again...in the future."
The blue haired woman....Mercury, Auska remembered, then spoke.
"Pluto, we must go." she said.
Pluto nodded, and the three women rose into the air....and
disappeared. Leaving behind a puzzled recovery crew and a mystified
Auska Langley Soryu. <I thought....I thought they all were
dead.......> she thought.
[Koorichi: To quote a one Samuel Clemmens: 'Your rumors of my death are
greatly exaggerated']
*******
A few miles away, something that appeared to be a man staggered
away from the battlefield, dropping clumps of some black substance as
it walked. The thirteenth Angel was heavily injured, and its only hope
was to find someplace to rest and try again. Unfortunately, this was
not to be. A freezing wind surrounded the Angel.
"MERCURY ICE STORMWIND!!"
[WH: OH NO! Chris Farely broke wind!
{The sisters pound him mercilessly.}]
The Angel was frozen in place, as Sailors Mercury, Saturn, and Pluto
floated down in front of it. Saturn looked at Mercury, and Mercury
just nodded before turning to the frozen Angel.
"This is for using my father all those years ago, you bastard."
[Reina: {Mock shock} *GASP* Oneechan, she just said�
Koorichi: {Mock shock as well} Shh.]
Saturn turned to the Angel. "DEATH RIBBON REVOLUTION!!"
Bardiel only had time to send one message to its brethren:
<Zuruel...it's up to you now.>
[Reina: *Sigh* He and Armisael were the only nice ones.
Koorichi: That's because they were both strong enough to be that way.]
Then the thirteenth Angel was annihilated by the gray-black ribbons
which exploded from the Silence Glaive.
Pluto turned to the two Senshi from the future. "Thank you for the
help, and please thank Neo-Queen Serenity as well." she said.
"No problem, Pu." Saturn said, smiling.
A scream tore through the air, drawing the three Senshi's attention
towards the inert Eva 01. "I think," Pluto said, "now would be a good
idea to make ourselves scarce."
The three Senshi disappeared in bursts of temporal energy, back to
their respective times.
[WH: ARG! Temporal Mechanics! I can't take it!]
*************************************************
Erica Carter got a wistful look on her face. "Yeah, until D-Point."
she said while looking down at her right arm, which had a silver
armband with an embedded blue gem on it. The armband had the insignia
of the Crystal Knights on it.
[WH: Wow, who'd of thought the Swastika was still being used.
{The sisters pound him again.}]
"Hey, Major? You still there?" Martins voice broke in on the
comlink, shaking Carter out of her trance.
"Yeah, I'm still here, just got caught up in a daydream, that's
all." she replied.
"Okay, then. It's your turn now. Go get them, Erica." Martins said
while landing her Excalibur next to Erica's.
Looking at Martin's face over the comlink, Erica couldn't help but
feel a sense of deja vu again, and she felt a memory returning.....
[{The dissolve begins}
WH: I HATE THIS!
K & R: Why?
*Splash*
K & R: Ah.
Koorichi: Want some 7-Up and some soda crackers?
WH: {sickly}�yeah�
Reina: How about some lukewarm pork?
*SPLASH*
{Koorichi looks disgusted, while Reina is laughing her head off}
Reina: <Snickers> One more time! *WHACK*]
---Flashback, D-Point---
<Dammit, it's over.> Captain Erica Carter thought while looking out
of her Devastator's cockpit at the blasted tundra around her. In front
of her, Queen Metallia was battling Princess Serenity. Before the
Princess had appeared, Metallia had took pleasure in destroying the EDF
mecha unit sent to help the Senshi.
[Reina: Uh, we've seen this before in the anime, can we go?]
<Sent too late,> Carter thought in disgust. The unit had arrived
late because of high winds that had delayed the transport's launch.
After arriving, the unit had discovered an ice formation in the
distance. On closer inspection, and much to Carter's horror, the body
of Sailor Jupiter had been discovered.
[WH: A victim of food poisoning. C-Ko Kotobuki is wanted for
questioning.]
The Devastator unit had followed a trail marked with the
graves of the Inner Senshi, except for Sailor Moon. The trail had led
to a semi active volcano. Without any warning from the mecha's
sensors, Metallia had burst out of the ground and had begun attacking
the EDF unit. Carter could only watch and try to fight back, as one by
one, the unit was destroyed, until only she remained. Then Sailor
Moon...Princess Serenity...had appeared.
[Reina: Ya ya, we know, she appears, beats Metallia and so on. Can we
go?!]
Now, it was only a few hours later, and the Princess was losing.
<Well,> Carter thought to herself, <only one thing left to do.>
"Computer," she said, "stand by to initiate self destruct." <Robert,
I'll see you soon.>
[WH: {Mock stoned} Death, the Ultimate Trip!]
"Wait!!" a voice shouted. Carter turned around to see a shadowy
figure behind her. The figure-definitely female-reached out a hand to
shut down the self destruct.
"What are you doing?!?" Carter tried to shout, but it only came out
as a gasp. "Metallia must be destroyed!"
"And she will. Just watch." The figure reached out to caress
Carter's cheek, then leaned in and kissed her.
[Reina: {VERY Irritated} WHAT THE F*** DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH
ANYTHING?!?!?!?!
Koorichi: Calm down Imouto.
Reina: But, what does this have to do with the fight with Metallia or
killing herself?!
Koorichi: Only Mr. Yaple can answer that.]
Carter's heart was pounding. <My God, I haven't felt like this
since.....Robert.> "Who...?" she whispered, still hurting from her
wounds and still in shock from the kiss.....
The figure stepped back, and in the darkness, Carter thought she
could see her smile. "You'll know in the future. Just know now, that
I love you. Now, watch the fireworks." She disappeared in a flash of
pink light.
[{Reina and WH are glowing and pissed}
WH: If this is who I think it is�]
*************************************************
"Even though I have new powers, I can't help but feel a little
scared. I mean...I lost my parents in a plane crash, and since then
I've been afraid of flying (rooftop hopping doesn't count and you know
it), and now....I have wings... And according to Usagi, we can fly now.
I'm not so sure I want that...I don't think I've been more scared in
my life...."
-From the diary of Makoto Kino-
--September 11, 2000-
[Reina: I will say nothing. On account that it might get me into
trouble.]
Major Carter followed Eternal Sailor Venus as she flew above the
rooftops in pursuit of Kodachi Kuno-who, a few minutes ago, had stormed
into the chapel where they were rehearsing for the wedding, threw some
of her lethal flowers in and declared that: "No one is getting married
until I get my Ranma-sama!!" Then she had bounded off, laughing all
the way. Minako had immediately transformed and started after her,
while Major Carter transformed her cycle to armor mode and did the
Rooftop Hop, following Venus.
[Reina: Oneechan, can we kill Kodachi?
Koorichi: No we can't.
Reina: WHY?!?
Koorichi: Because we are not of this world.]
"Jeez, how can she move so fast?" Carter heard Venus mutter over her
communicator. Carter couldn't understand it. How had the Kunos learned
where the wedding was? She and the rest of the Knights had helped the
Senshi plan the whole thing so th at nothing adverse would happen to
the Prince and Princess. <And what do we get for our troubles?> Carter
thought a little sarcastically, <someone or something wipes the floor
with us, we find out that Wasshu or Pluto are maybe up to something, we
have more paperwork that we like to stand, and now this psycho shows
up!!> She sighed. "At least life isn't boring."
[Koorichi: Such an understatement.]
"What was that?" Venus asked.
"Oh nothing, just thinking out loud. Say, Venus, do you have any
idea how that psycho gymnast found out where the wedding was?"
"I have no idea." Venus replied, her eyes set on the fleeing
Kodachi. "But I overheard the three goddesses talking and I think they
might have an idea of who tipped her off."
[Koorichi: How does tipping one over give information?
{Both Reina and WH groan.}]
Then Venus swore. "She's gone into the Kuno Estates!"
"Great." Carter replied. "Getting her now gonna be a lot of fun.
Think you can scare her out of there with a Romance Shower?"
"I'll try." Venus replied, then flew up above the Kuno house.
"VENUS ROMANCE SHOWER!!"
[Reina: I don't know why, but I like the Soldiers' attack names better.
Koorichi: Because you are more prone to violence and overkill?
Reina: Well� yeah.]
The multiple laser beams stabbed into the grounds of the estate. In
response, multiple arrows shot into the air towards Venus.
"YEEEEEEEK!!!!" Venus was suddenly busy trying to dodge the arrows.
[WH: Hah! My Venus would most likely take out the whole estate� and a
good portion of the district.
Koorichi: Which is why he chose to keep them as heroes instead of
killers, unlike yours.
WH: And your point?]
Carter landed on the wall surrounding the estates and sighted the
arrow launchers. "Let's see how you respond to this!" she said. With
that, missiles launched out of her suit to blow up the arrow launchers.
In response, Carter was knocked off the wall by an energy beam.
"What the....?"
Mara floated up and over the wall.
[WH: Not her again!
Reina: Oneechan, can we kill her?
Koorichi: No, we cannot.
Reina: *pout*]
<Oh shit!!> Carter thought. "I guess it was you who tipped off the
Kunos." she said.
"Yep, it was me. I told Sailor Moon I would get my revenge. How do
you like it?"
[WH: Well done, thank you.]
<Teknosnip the boffo attacks from the Senshi>
[WH: Hmphm my senshi would make sure there was nothing left.
Koorichi: Which is one of the things that would make them killers like
yours?
WH: What's wrong with that?]
The chain of glowing hearts wrapped around Mara's leg and threw her
into a nearby tree. Standing up, she swore. "Damn you, you little
blonde! Now you're gonna get it!" She raised a hand...
...which was promptly slashed by a red streak.
[All: On no!]
Tuxedo Kamen stood atop a nearby fence, holding one of his trademark
roses. "People like you give ladies a bad name!" he said.
[All: NAAAA, SHUT UP!!!!
{Nodoka takes a second to peek in.}
Nodoka: In case you haven't noticed, WH nor the Sisters like Mamoru that
much. ]
"Ah shut up, you tuxedo caped freak!!" Mara said as she raised her
hand to fire at Tuxedo Kamen.
"Mara."
Mara froze and turned around slowly. Belldandy, Skuld, and Urd were
standing there, ready to fire at Mara. The kicker was that Belldandy
was also looking quite mad.
[WH: Hmm, now I wonder if Mr. Yaple got this from a certain unfinished
OMG fic that I was working on.]
<Uh oh> was all that Mara could think before she was hit by two
force bolts and various bombs (thrown by Skuld). The Senshi added
their various attacks to the mix, and Sailor Moon finished up with her
Eternal Moonlight Harmony attack/healing move.
Mara, dazed, was thrown against another tree. "Ow, okay, okay, I
get the point, I'm going, have a nice wedding." And with a final wave
(and finger) to Belldandy, she disappeared before a force bolt hit the
tree.
[WH: Yeesh, and I thought my Mara was asking for it.
Koorichi: And if I recall correctly, she did 'get it' as you would call
it.
WH: Yep.]
Carter got up from where she had fallen. "Whew, glad that's over."
she said.
"I'm really sorry for everything she's done." Belldandy said.
"Hey, don't worry about it," Sailor Moon said, putting an arm on the
goddess's shoulder, "you shouldn't have to apologize for that jerk's
actions."
Belldandy nodded and smiled.
The Kunos took that as their cue to make an appearance, but....
[Reina: *Bzzt* Idiots coming at 2 o clock!]
"PINK LADY'S SUGAR BOMB SCATTER!!"
[All: Oh no!]
The Kunos were blasted by multiple pinks balls which exploded into
dust around them, causing them to sneeze uncontrollably. Ranma and
Akane then double teamed them and knocked them out.
Everyone looked up to see Sailor Chibi Moon...with wings... floating
above them.
[All: {Horrified} IT IS!!!
{A smiling SD Nodoka pops in}
SD Nodoka: Did I mention that they don't like Chibi-Usa that much?]
"Huh??" was what everyone had to say.
"Well?" Chibi Moon said. "Did you think you were the only ones to
get power ups?" She then posed. "I am the sailor soldier of the
eternal moon of the future, Eternal Sailor Chibi Moon!!"
[WH: And I thought 'I' was evil!
Reina: You are.
WH: I don't go THIS far!]
Carter sighed. "And to think, we have two more days to go."
Venus then popped up. "Right!! So let's get to it everyone!"
Everyone, including Chibi Moon, facefaulted.
[Reina: Oneechan. Can we kill her? Please?!
Koorichi: Again, no!]
*************************************************
--September 12, 2000-
<Teknosnip the Three Stoogettes preformance>
[Koorichi: You can always count of boneheads like these to ruin things.]
And the two walked off, leaving a space pirate, a mad scientist, and
a goddess (second class, limited) to stare agape...until Belldandy
waved from the mirror near the fateful rug.
The three facefaulted.
[As well as the reviewers]
************************************************
--September 13, 2000 (mid morning)--
Usagi Tuskino was making a final adjustment to her wedding veil when
her mother came in the dressing room. The chapel was packed, security
was tight, and no more youma had attacked since the EDF had toasted
those youmas....<what was their name?> Usagi thought. <Oh yes, the
Spice Youmas> She shuddered.
[WH: {Smiling evilly} You know� I could sing something, but I don't
dare.]
Her mother adjusted Usagi's veil. "My first child, my daughter is
finally getting married. I can hardly stand it."
"Mom. Stop embarrassing me! I'm nervous enough as it is." Usagi
said.
"Sorry dear, it's just that I'm so proud of you....."
A new voice interrupted. "As am I."
The Silver Crystal in Usagi's broach started glowing, and a woman
appeared near mother and daughter. A woman who looked like Usagi, only
her hair was silver.....
[Reina: Wow, a female version of Kowaru.
Koorichi: <Snicker>]
"Mother..." Usagi gasped.
The spirit of Queen Serenity, the dead ruler of the Moon Kingdom,
nodded to Mrs. Tuskino, then went over to Usagi and fixed her dress a
little. "My daughter, I am so very proud of you. Standing up to your
foes with courage, and now *finally* marrying Prince Endymion.
I can only stay a while, but I will be watching from where I am now,
and I wish you the best in your future."
Usagi looked up at her past mother with tears in her eyes. "In the
name of the moon...I will not let you down...Mother." And with that,
Usagi hugged her, crying all the while.
Queen Serenity looked up at Mrs. Tuskino with an unspoken plea in
her eyes: Watch over her. Mrs. Tuskino nodded in reply. <I will>.
With that, Serenity let go of Usagi, and disappeared into the mists.
Usagi turned around and hugged her mother.
[{WH passes out from sugar shock. Koorichi nods in approval, and Reina
looks disgusted.}
Reina: I think, I'm going to be sick.]
*************************************************
The wedding itself was anticlimactic, considering all that had
happened before. Chibi-Usa (who had come specifically to play a part in
the wedding, Hotaru was pretty estastic about that.) came down the
aisle as flowergirl.
[Reina: Oneechan, can we at least kill her?!?! Think of the praise we
would receive!
Koorichi: Once again, no!]
The Moon Cats came next, trotting down the aisle
with all the geace they could muster.
[WH: Geace?
Reina: How could they be trotting down the isle when they're slipping on
grease?
Koorichi: I believe Mr. Yaple meant grace. Didn't you?]
Then the Inner Senshi (with whatever dates they had managed to get)
came down the aisle.
[Reina: Meaning none. BWA HA HA HA!!]
Naru came next, with Umino on her arm.
The Crystal Knights then came out and formed two columns and drew
swords. (Think military honor guard-which makes sense, since Usagi is
a future queen).
Then Usagi came down the aisle, escorted by her father.
The ceremony itself went with no problem. When the minister came to
the part where anyone who had a problem with the wedding should speak
up, everyone tensed up and looked towards the back. Nothing happened.
Whe n Usagi and Mamoru kissed, the cheer that resulted nearly blew the
roof off the chapel.
[{Yet, it doesn't blow off the roof, but it blows off the roof of Base
Teknos.)
WH: HEY!!]
Later, at the wedding party, the Crystal Knights were raising a
toast.
[WH: Glasses ready?
{All three hold up glasses filled with Golden Apple Cider.}]
"To Usagi and Mamoru! May they live happily together for a long
time!" Major Carter exclaimed. The rest of the partiers cheered and
echoed their sentiments.
[All: Cheers!]
Major Carter sat down with the rest of the wedding party and pointed
over to Tenchi and his group. "That's the mystery person?" she asked.
"Yeah," Natsume said, "it's funny. She looks so familiar..."
"There's a reason for that." Wasshu said as she popped up among the
group.
