Authors Note: This story deals with Usagi and Mamoru getting back
together and a dip in the story line with new powers and such. This
is the "realization" of the Senshi's true identity.


No, i don't own Sailor Moon. So, please don't sue me!

********************************************************************

I felt it important to note that this story takes place before the
Black Moon Clan is destroyed. Chibi-Usa manages to get home without
the Ginsuisho or finding her mother. I think i've neglected to
stress the oddity in the time traveling process, and how the kingdom
wasn't at war. So, i'm STRESSING the importance here, and please keep 
that in mind.

********************************************************************

In a flash, Minako appeared in front of them once again. "Wow," Mamoru
whispered.

"What happened? What is the secret?" Minako asked eagerly.

Usagi looked thoughtful, then hopped onto the seat, running around the
edge of the fountain. " A piece of our powers was sealed inside of the
statue, to grow by our love until there came a day when the power was 
needed once again. Over the 2000 odd years, the power must be enormous."

Mamoru climbed up next to her. "But... it's sealed. How can we reach it?"

Minako watched them curiously, wondering exactly was going on. All she
could do was watch.

With a small touch to her Ginsuisho, she transformed into Princess 
Serenity, and beside her, Mamoru changed into Prince Endymion. Serenity 
gently held the Ginsuisho in her hand, and as she raised it above her 
head, she cried, "Ginsuisho! Please break this seal encasing our powers!"

A soft pink light emanated from it and absorbed into the statue. The 
water that ran out of her hand began to sparkle with moondust. It pulsed 
for a few moments, then a bright gold orb appeared on the statue Serenity's 
hand, the water ceasing to flow. The orb emanated not only Moon energy, 
but Earth energy as well.

"The energy has become..." Minako whispered in amazement.

"...One," Endymion finished.

The Ginsuisho suddenly started to move towards the orb, both shining 
brighter as they became closer. As it reached the orb, it became so bright 
that even Serenity had to close her eyes. A soft shining, and the light 
dimmed back to a soft glow. As they opened their eyes, they gasped, for 
the Serenity Statue was now holding a golden staff, and the staff's head 
was a silver and gold crystal, incased in silver wings.

"The Eternal United Crystal! I thought it was only a legend!" Minako cried.

Serenity carefully stepped forward and gently took the staff.  "The power 
is so strong, more powerful then I could have ever of imagined," she 
murmured. She turned around to face Minako and her prince. "I remember 
now!" she cried.

She held out the staff in front of her, parallel to her body. "Eternal 
Moon United Crystal Power-" she began to float as she released the 
quickly rising staff, "- MAKE UP!" The Crystal began to pulse a gold and 
silver light. The light melded into gold and silver feathers, and two 
angel wings (unlike the handlike ones in her other eternal form) burst 
out of her back.

The feathers continued to circle her, creating a whitish silver body suit.
She stretched out her hands towards the heavens, and began to softly spin,
her silver skirt with gold trimming forming. Her Golden Heart and Moon 
brooch flashed upon her chest, sending out small wings (instead of her 
old bow) and a golden chest flap formed. Her feet began to glow as winged 
angel sandals appeared, bearing the crescent moon sign.  Her fingers 
stretched out as the silver feathers formed her gloves, and feathers burst 
out of her golden elbow bands.

Her Crescent Moon shone and stayed, as her crescent earrings, feather hair
pieces, golden orbs on her meatballs, and silver and gold choker appeared.

As she carefully took her staff in hand, her hair shone silver, speckled 
with a few golden strands. As she posed, she looked like an angel sent 
from heaven.

As she floated in the sky, she said softly, "I am Golden Eternal Angel 
Sailormoon." Endymion just gazed up at her, as Minako started to ramble.

"Golden Eternal Angel Sailor Moon?! But, that phase never occurred to the
queen! What in the world..." she rambled.

"Minako, you will recall that Endymion possesses the Golden Crystal,
correct?" GEA Sailor Moon questioned.

Endymion looks up at her and gasped, "The Golden Crystal?  What are you
talking about?"

"Y-yes, I know," Minako stammered, glancing over at him, "It is his 
crystal as the Ginsuisho is yours."

"Essences of the the two crystal combined in the statue, and over time,
they intertwined and became one, the Eternal United Crystal. Now, Prince 
Endymion, step forward." He stepped forward, and kneeled, feeling a little 
unsure. She easily picked up on it.  "You need not fear, soon you will 
understand."

Gently, she raised her staff in front of her, spread her arms wide, and
with her eyes closed, she whispered, "Angel Moon Teardrops." A gentle light
flowed from the crystal, and into Prince Endymion.  His armor turned gold 
and silver, and understanding crashed into him.  He understood himself, 
what he truly was.  He remembered Elyson and Priest Helios.

The light softened, and he stood up.  GEA Sailor Moon came down to face 
him. He took her into his arms, and kissed her gently on the lips. "I 
remember it all," he said, authority and tranquility in his voice.  
They stepped apart and looked at Minako.

Minako was bowing in respect. She stood up and said, "I believe it's almost
time for you to return to your own time. Please, spend the night at 
Priestess Rei's home, and return to the castle.  The Queen will surely 
wish to speak to you.  I will guide you to the temple." The two de-
transformed and followed Minako.

As they left the forest, Minako turned around. "I want to thank you both, 
for all you have done.  I hope I have not caused irreversible conflicts, 
which might impair you in your life, but i have a feeling that it was 
destined from the start.  I wish you two the best.  I hope to see you 
again soon." She bowed again, and turned around and disappeared into the 
night.

Usagi gasped, "Oh my gosh, Luna!  She must be worried sick!"  She grabbed
Mamoru's hand and ran towards the temple.

When they had almost made it, Usagi suddenly stumbled and crashed to the
ground. "Ugh!" 

"Usa-ko, are you alright?" Mamoru asked softly, bending down next to her.
She struggled to her feet, nodding. "Yea, I must be getting a bit sleepy,
that's all. C'mon," she said, grabbing his arm and heading back, a little
slower this time.

They got to the top of the porch to find a peeved Luna. "And where have
you two been for the last THREE hours??" Luna asked, with a 'do I really
want to know' look on her face.

They looked at each other, Mamoru looking a little embarrased. But Usagi
took a deep breath and announced," We've traveled approxametly 2000 years
into the past to the Moon Kingdom, becoming non-exsitant parts of our
past selves. Then we came back, united the Ginsuisho with the 
Golden/Silver power, and I became Golden Eternal Angel Sailormoon. Mamoru
became the Golden Earth Warrior. And now I must go back to the past and
unite the scouts with the power." She said with a flourish.

"Yeah, taht about sums it up," Mamoru stated slowly, a bit taken back by
how she summed up the situation.

Luna was obviously very surprised as well. "You mean, you somehow became
stronger by some how going into the past?"

Usagi nodded slowly. Shew was feeling a bit lightheaded, she she 
suggested, "Why don't we go back inside. I'm feeling a... a little...
um..." she swayed, and everything went black.

"USA-KO!" Mamoru cried, catching her. 'what's going on sweetheart?' He
picked her up and held her protectivly.

"Take her over to the couch." Luna commanded, worry sliping into her 
voice, " and tell me *exactly* what happened to you two."

Mamoru carefully laid her down, and sat down beside her so her head was
on his lap. 'She looks so peaceful, almost older.' He could feel a 
tremendous about of energy eminating from her. "Well, it's like this..."
he continued on telling her the sory. usagi stirred a couple of times, 
but she remained unconcious.

Luna looked thoughtful. "You said she gave you part of her power... I 
remember her saying that she had to do that to the scouts as well. 
Perhaps the energy is so great that it's making her sick."

Usagi stirred, "Mamo-chan?" she murmered, her eyes fluttering open.

"Usa-ko! Are you ok?" Mamoru cried. He stroked her cheek tenderly as she
sighed.

"I'm kind of tired," she yawned, "how long was I out?"

"About 10 mins," Luna said, hopping up beside them. "It's getting pretty
late, perhaps you should sleep tonight and we'll see the queen tomorrow."

"Yeah," Usagi said, starting to stand up, "I'll just, Woah!" she cried, 
as the room began to spin.

"Careful sweetheart," Mamoru carefully grabbed her and lifted her into 
his arms. "You're not going anywhere without me until this is all 
resolved." She snuggled into his arms and fell back asleep as he carried
her up into her room.
