A Sailor Moon Fanfiction: The Pledge of the Sun.

Chapter 91

She was just about to leave when King Endymion appeared.

"Wait a moment, Sailor Mars," King Endymion said. "That will not be necessary. Please, observe."

The ghost specter of Endymion then walked over to a control panel on one side of the room and touched a dial twisting it. Then a display turned on, and they could now see a picture of Solaris, Tuxedo Mask, and Sailor Moon making their way back to Crystal Palace, much to everyone's relief. Immediately, everyone rushed over to the main doors and burst through them and saw their three friends coming towards them.

"Sailor Moon!" everyone cried.

The odango blonde immediately rushed over to her friends and met them a big group reunion hug, while Solaris, Endymion, and Tuxedo Mask let them have their moment.

Sailor Moon was so happy to be back that she couldn't help but shed a few tears. "I'm so glad to see you guys!" she wailed. "Jupiter! Venus! Mercury! Mars!"

"There you go crying again. Pull it together, would you?" Sailor Mars scolded. "We're not out of the woods yet, you know!"

"Wah! Mars is angry with me again!" Sailor Moon whined. "Why do you have to be so angry?!"

"I'm not angry with you," Sailor Mars sighed. "I was just trying to cheer you up."

Everyone else laughed, and soon Sailor Mars and Sailor Moon were laughing too. Solaris couldn't help but smile as he watched his sister and his friends, then he took notice of Chibiusa, who was standing just behind them. He then went over to her.

"Chibiusa, nice to see you awake," Solaris said. "How are you feeling?"

"Um, OK, I guess," said Chibiusa, who still wasn't her usual cheerful self.

Solaris tilted his head in confusion and was just about to ask what was wrong when Sailor Moon rushed over to them. Before Chibiusa could react, Sailor Moon wrapped her arms around her and hugged her.

"Chibiusa! I'm so glad that you're alright!" Sailor Moon said. "You had me worried sick!"

Chibiusa was surprised but didn't say anything more as she hugged her back while everyone else watched the two.

After a while, King Endymion led the party to another room in the palace. This room was lined with teal curtains with gold trims all around, and in the middle was a table-like bed made of stone. On top of that stone bed was a large crystal as big as a boulder, and inside it was a young woman. She had long flowing blonde hair in the style of odango, and she wore a white dress, had a golden tiara with red jewels on top of her head, and looked as beautiful as a goddess.

Upon seeing her, Sailor Moon gasped. "Is... that who I think it is?" she asked aloud.

"Yes, it is," replied King Endymion. "The monarch of Crystal Tokyo herself, as well as my wife, Neo Queen Serenity."

Then Chibiusa rushed forward to her petrified mother's side. "Mommy! I brought Sailor Moon and the others from the past to help!" she told her, the girl's eyes filling with tears. "Please, Mommy! Open your eyes!"

Unfortunately, the queen didn't respond. Feeling sorry for Chibiusa, Solaris went over to the child and gave her a few comforting pats on her shoulder.

"King Endymion, how did the queen end up in this state?" asked Tuxedo Mask.

"And I hate to ask, but how long will she remain like this?" Sailor Venus also wondered. "I mean, will she ever wake up, or is she even alive?"
