**136. The Announcement of a New Wedding.**

Two days passed and the families arrived at the ship. Roy, Beruche, Diamond and Emerald ran to hug their children. Amethyst and Leval were very happy and told their parents about the plans they had. Everyone was gathered for dinner in the best restaurant on the ship.

-We intend to call him Asthel if he is a boy and Maray if she is a girl. - Leval informed them. -

-This is how the two families will be represented. - Roy said with a gesture of approval. - What do you think, Diamond?

-Great! - The Nemesis prince exclaimed with visible complacency – Anyway, my brother has already named his first son after our father, so, there will be no mistakes.

-I am very excited that if she is a child she will be called like my mother. - Emerald intervened visibly excited. – I could not meet her, and, in this way, it will be as if I were in the family.

-Well, in my case it happens to me the same as Diamond. - Beruche added. - As Cooan named her daughter after our mother....

-And what do you prefer, daughter-in-law? - Roy was jovially interested. - Boy or girl.

-I really want to have our baby, whether it's a boy or a girl. -Amethyst replied enthusiastically. -

-How much did you say you were? - Her mother-in-law asked with interest. -

-Little more than six weeks. Maybe seven. - The girl answered by lightly and affectionately caressing her abdomen. -

-Take great care of yourself, hey, daughter! - Her father said also with affection and pride. -

They changed the subject and the mysterious gods emerged. Leval and Amethyst did not want to mention the most unpleasant and explicit details, but they did have immense strength.

-Fortunately, another one who did respect us appeared and managed to convince others to leave us alone. - She said to them with a sigh of relief. -

-Good thing everything ended well. I must admit that I was obfuscated. - Leval admitted embarrassed trying to explain himself. - I couldn't fight them and that made me very angry. Above all, I thought that you and Uncle Lornd would be ashamed of me. - He added ashamed, addressing his father. -

-Son, that's normal in a Saiyan. - Roy said to him in a conciliatory tone. - We don't like to lose to anyone. But you must know when to hold on and to admit the superiority of the enemy if it is so clear. It's nothing embarrassing and you shouldn't feel bad. You did your best and that fills me with pride. - He added, despite everything adding right away. - Even if it was foolish! Understand that it's no longer just about you. You have a wife and now you will also have a child to take care of. - He concluded now as an affectionate reproach. –

Leval recalled one of many times when he trained with his father and Mazoui. The boy was then inferior to both and sometimes got carried away by the frustration of not even being able to touch them. One day, furious, he smashed a rock with a punch, although it was of no use to him.

-I don't understand, I'm fast and strong! - He exclaimed. - And yet I don't come close to your level.

-You are closer than you think, - his father replied with a calm and condescending tone. -

-It doesn't seem like it to me, Dad! - He replied, enraged. -

Roy just smiled, and asked Mazoui.

-Please, got me my mobile, it's on that rock, - he pointed out. -

The boy did so and then the coach, smiling once again, put on a musical theme of those he had stored there.

-I want you to fight to the rhythm of this song. Master Piccolo made us listen to it sometimes. And I wanted us to know the chorus well...

And to the perplexity of the boys, they could listen.

Don't lose your head

Don't lose your head

Don't lose your head (Don't lose your head)

No, don't lose you head (Don't lose you head)

-What does this mean, Dad?

-What you hear," Roy replied dryly. - Never lose your head in the fight.

And they began the fight with an exchange of blows, Mazoui and Leval against their trainer. He dodged without much difficulty, even allowing himself to sing while listening...

Hear what I say

Don't lose your way, yeah

Remember, love's stronger

Remember, love walks tall

-Nor does it mean that you think about it so much, Mazoui. You must put your soul and your heart into it. - Roy advised his other doubtful student. - Do not faint.

Don't lose your heart (Don't lose your heart)

No, don't lose your heart (Don't lose your heart)

Hear what I say

Hear what I say, yeah

Don't lose your way

Don't lose your way, yeah

Remember, love's stronger

Remember, love walks through walls

Don't drink and drive my car

Don't get breathalysed

Don't lose your head

If you make it to the top

And you wanna stay alive

Don't lose your head

-Ha, ha! - Roy exclaimed seeing funny, while his son and nephew kept trying to hit him without success. -

Don't lose your head

Don't lose your head (Don't lose your head)

No, don't lose your head (Don't lose your head)

Hear what I say

Hear what I say, yeah

Don't lose your way, hey

Don't lose your way, yea

Remember, love's stronger

Remember, love conquers all

-We fight not only for ourselves, but for those we love. We cannot afford to fail. - Roy reminded them as he bombarded them with some rays of energy that the two boys were barely able to dodge. -

Don't lose your head

Don't lose your head

Don't lose your head

Don't lose your head (Don't lose your head)

And Roy shouted the latter raising his super Saiyan power in such a way that both boys were fired several meters away... by the time they could get up the song was finishing...

Don't lose your head (Don't lose your head)

Don't lose your head (Don't lose your head)

Don't lose your head, don't lose your head

(Don´t lose your head. QUEEN. Credit to the artist)

-In short. - Roy sentenced, once the exhausted young people could approach him, when the intensity of his power decreased. - Hot heart and cold head.

Now Leval was absorbed in his thoughts. It was Amethyst who asked him something restless.

- Are you okay?

-Yes, I remembered my father's advice, with that QUEEN song. - He replied summarizing that memory, to admit, addressing his wife. - He was very right. Love is stronger, and it was your love that made me see things clearly.

The girl blushed, smiling with satisfaction and joy. Her mother-in-law nodding to the latter, intervened.

-For this time, I totally agree with your father. That song contains a lot of wisdom. - Beruche declared that she added more worried. - Son, you must be careful. You have a family. Did you stop to think that it would have been of Amethyst and the child, if not us, if something had happened to you?

The boy looked up at the table not knowing what to say. His parents were right. Now, considering the situation in a cold and rational way, he realized how far his degree of irresponsibility had come. So, accepting his guilt, he was still able to reply in a soft tone.

-I know, Mom. Now I've noticed. I'm so sorry I lost control. But I reminded you, you always fought against any threat, even after you got married. And you never backed down to protect others.

- Yes, we did. But keep one thing in mind, son. – His father explained to him now with a conciliatory tone. – Whenever we fought it was because we had no choice. We never seek it or challenge anyone unless it was necessary to protect innocents.

- It's true. – The boy could say declaring overwhelmed to the satisfaction of all his listeners. – I didn't want those gods to hurt either Amethyst or the rest of the passengers on this ship. But in the end, I lost control.  I didn't follow the advice that song gave, I lost my head. I will never let my pride obfuscate me again to that point. I give you, my word.

-Anyway, you were very brave. - Diamond praised him trying to dedramatize. - To dare to fight against such powerful beings. I remember that when I went down to look for Emerald, I trembled only from feeling the energies of the most terrible demons in hell. Then, I perceived another immense one, that of another being that I cannot remember.

-Well, now that I think, - his wife intervened trying to exert herself as if she wanted to remember something. - I... I remember a very powerful being, only vaguely. Now it comes to my mind that he predicted I would have a daughter.

She looked at Amethyst who in turn watched her with a curious expression, the young woman had a much more mature appearance. Her hair was cut into a half-mane shape, and she wore a foulard on her neck. At that instant a sudden flash ran through her mother's mind, at some point she had seen that image before.

-Oh my God! - Emerald exclaimed. –

-Mom, are you okay? - The hurried girl wanted to know. -

-Yes, honey. -Her mother, who then remembered to everyone's surprise, added immediately. - You are the same as the image I was shown when I was still in limbo. They told me; you were the daughter we were meant to have.... and... I do not know. They told me something else, but I can't remember.

-Maybe as things happen you will remember it. Sure, it was something important, but it shouldn't be revealed yet. I don't know, if Tommy was here, he could tell us more. He knows a lot about these issues. - Roy said, watching his fellow mother-in-law in amazement to add. –  I will ask Tom when I see him...

The truth is that everyone looked at him coinciding with those words. It was as if someone was showing them a kind of puzzle, the pieces were appearing and fitting together as the years passed.

-Well, - Beruche said, taking them out of those reflections. - Stop thinking about those things, what must happen will happen. - And she showed a more jovial tone to change the subject. - Do you know that Kerria and the other girls, besides Cooan, Petz, Karaberasu, and their husbands, are coming here? They really want to see you and get to know the planet.

-It's great! - Amethyst exclaimed very excitedly. - The family reunited again.

-We will have our house, soon. - Leval added now very happy too. - I hope you are here to celebrate it.

-Sure, son, - his father smiled patting him on the back. -Your mother and I are almost retired and your father-in-law even more, isn't it true, little prince? you are an old man. - He jokingly said to his friend while also patting him on the shoulder. - We will have nothing better to do.

-Look who went to speak. -Diamond responded counterattacking with derision. - Your teeth will fall out in the soup soon.

-I don't wear dentures! - Roy smiled - don't speak for you....

-Don´t you? - his father-in-law smiled, showing his fist to declare as an alleged threat. -Well, believe me. In no time you are going to wear it...

-Shut up now, you look like kids. - Emerald admonished them, however with a funny gesture. -

-It's true. - Bertie scolded them, joining her fellow mother-in-law and friend, shaking her head as she added condescendingly.  - The truth is that you could always stop playing the same jokes.  Let's see if you vary the repertoire!

To the laughter of Leval and Amethyst. Roy and Diamond were trying to defend themselves against the accusations of their two women.

-But little cube. - Roy objected. - It's just a friendly chat between comrades.  Right Diamond, old friend?

-It's true, - he hastened to agree. -You don't need to get angry and Roy... the only old man here is you.

His fellow father-in-law responded by throwing the napkin at his friend who in turn hit him with his own on the head. Emerald and Beruche reprimanded them again as if they were two children. Leval and Amethyst looked at each other smiling. They had missed that family atmosphere very much. The young woman then intervened with an emotional tone. That affected her bringing to her mind many memories and the sorrow for the loss of some friends and loved ones. In her state perhaps she allowed herself to be too enveloped by those sensations when she declared.

-I'm so happy that we're all together again! I came to believe that I would never see you again.

Tears were shed and Emerald hugged her daughter. Her father and father-in-law stopped their jokes and looked at the scene excitedly.

-Honey. -  Her mother whispered with an affectionate tone as she wiped away some tears. -

-After so many years and so many battles I think the time has finally come to be a normal family. We have earned it well. - Roy thoughtfully declared. -

-There are already two things you say tonight that I totally agree with, my friend. - Diamond smiled nodding softly as he added to ease the moment. – That starts to worry me.

Those words did indeed provoke everyone's smiles. Dinner was over and Amethyst and Leval said goodbye to their parents. They returned to the house they had in the city; they went to bed shortly after because the next day they had to work. Meanwhile, the gods received instructions from Redan. They were to begin searching for the Messenger. They separated and each set out to travel the galaxy in search of that envoy from the Creator. However, Redan stayed there, something told him that he should not go far to locate him. At that very moment, Sandy and Coraíon were having dinner together as well. They had met to spend a pleasant evening and chat about the latest developments. Mainly from his friends. Although he was restless and seemed impatient throughout the evening, at last he couldn't resist it anymore and declared to Sandy in the desserts.  The girl, listening to him, could barely hide her discomfort, she was put in a bind. The rash boy asked her for an answer.

-Sandy, I love you; I want you to accept me and marry me.

-But Coraíon, - she replied visibly stranded. - We said we would clarify everything when we returned to Bios...

-I know, forgive me for not being able to wait, - he excused himself by adding convinced -... I'm sure, I know I really love you...

-I don't doubt that you love me, Coraíon. - She muttered, looking away with regret. - But I... This has gone too far in a very short time.

The boy looked at Sandy distraught, he could barely speak but he did. For him it was painful but he wanted to know what she really felt and so he asked.

-Don't you love me, do you?...

-No, Coraíon, I don't feel anything for you... well yes, you're a good guy, I've had a good time with you, but... Nothing else. - The girl answered, she looked at the table elusively, but he took her by one hand. -

-I don't believe you. - He stated and ordered him firmly. - Look me in the eye and tell me. - Sandy didn't look at him, and he gently raising the girl's chin saw tears in her eyes. - But why, I don't understand why you lie to me.

-It's something difficult to explain. I don't know if you would understand, - She babbled with a dismayed countenance. -

-Tell me! - he asked her worriedly, urging her with tinges of urgency in his broken voice. - I want to understand. What have I done wrong? Have I rushed perhaps? I'm sorry. I know we agreed to go little by little, but when I am with you, I don't want anything else. Since I saw you, I knew. I love you and wish to spend my life with you.

-No, don't say that, please. I... it's not because of you. - She replied with regret, to mutter resignedly as a farewell. – Leave it, it's not worth it, Coraíon. Believe me, you deserve better.

Very dejected Sandy got up from the table ready to leave but he did not want to resign like this. He loved her! she was a great girl, and not only because of her physical attractiveness, or her intelligence. He could see that she was kind and that possibly something was making her suffer. But he wasn't going to abandon her, he wanted to try to figure that out. So, he held her by one arm gently and made her turn to face her gaze to his.

-Of course, it's worth it, there is no one for me who is better than you. - The boy declared by stating decisively. - I love you, I'm not going to give up on you like this. If you don't want someone else and you love me, then what's the problem? Maybe it's that you need more time. I will give you more time. Sandy, I'm in love with you, I want you to share the rest of my life with you. I can wait a little longer.

But the girl moved her head closing her eyes to try to contain the waterfall of tears that were gushing out of her.

-The problem is me, Coraíon! - She confessed to him about to burst into tears. I try to hold back without getting it, so she can barely add between sobs. - If you knew who I really am, I don't know if you would love me.

-Whatever you are, if you don't tell me, we won't be able to know. At least, give me a chance to show you that I love you. Ok? – He replied conciliatorily. -

The boy wiped away her tears with obvious affection and softness, realizing that some diners began to observe sideways and even openly that embarrassing scene, so tempering his tone he proposed to the girl with more serenity

-Let's go to my apartment. There we can talk more calmly. And you can tell me what it is that worries you so much.

The girl accepted, it made no sense to prolong that too much and she accompanied Coraíon. After paying the bill they went out and took a slider. None of them spoke. The boy stared worriedly into her, but Sandy only looked at her own hands intertwined on her lap. It seemed that she was heading towards her execution.

-I don't understand what's wrong with her. - The boy thought. -

Finally, after about fifteen minutes that seemed eternal, they arrived at his apartment and went up to his room. The boy kissed her on the lips with great passion, but she immediately separated and turned her back. It was clear that he loved her, but would he still feel the same when he discovered what she was really like? Sandy wished she could have hidden it, but she didn't want to maintain a relationship based on the lie. Not this time! If her destiny was to live alone, she accepted it, it was preferable to deceiving someone she truly loved. Anyway, it wouldn't be worse the other time. And she was already used to rejection, but despite being told that she was afraid, and it hurt. So, even though he was very fond of her, she plucked up the courage and asked him in a distressed voice. While the guy was looking for something on the phone he had.

-Promise me that no matter how much you are surprised or terrified, you will not run away. Please, I couldn't stand it.

-I promised. - He replied, laying his hands on the girl's shoulders to ask her gently. - But look at me, Sandy.

She slowly turned around, openly displayed her demonic appearance, those brown hairs had become redheaded, and her eyes wore the color of blood, although veiled even by tears. Her barely half-open mouth revealed a pair of sharp, thin fangs that could barely stop the trembling of her lips. The girl expected him to back down or scream or anything. But, to her surprise, Coraíon stared at her without altering her sympathetic and affectionate countenance and for a few moments she did not say or do anything.

-So, it was because of this. - She sighed at last, without moving. -

For the first time in her life Sandy felt very confused. She had no idea what the boy might be thinking. She was unable to even probe him. Was he keeping his word at the cost of enormous self-control and collapsing from one moment to the next? Or maybe it's that he really... Although that thought barely thrived in her mind. It was only her greatest wish. So, to get out of that terrible doubt, the girl dared to finally testify with the deepest and most guttural voice that produced that appearance.

-That's how I am. My mother was a succubus and so am I. I have very difficult instincts to control. Mazoui will be able to tell you.

Coraíon simply smiled with a look so sweet that he paralyzed her interlocutor and responded with affection as he gently held her face in his hands.

-I don't care, who you are, or where you come from, or what you've done. If you love me. Even if you are a demon in appearance as soon as I met you to me you were my angel.

Those words came to his mind very spontaneously, they seemed to come out alone. Hearing him Sandy couldn't stop the crying from running down her face, completely unable to slow down. But this time I was not crying with sadness, but with joy and emotion. She could only babble full of happiness.

-Those are almost the same words that my father said to my mother when he declared to her. He told me that the same thing happened between them! I can't believe it! Now I know why my mother cried. It is something so beautiful that it can move even a succubus heart.

-Honey, - Coraíon whispered that he hugged Sandy by telling her very sweetly. – You should have imagined that I know very well what my cousin Mazoui is like. I've known him for years, but all that matters is that he has a noble heart and I know you have it too.

-So, did you know? - She could babble as stunned as she was embarrassed. -

She was even somewhat angry. Why didn't he tell her? Although of course. How to bring that issue up beforehand? And the young man immediately noticed the thoughts that crossed her mind and soon answered.

-Your appearance is what matters the least to me. Well, you're gorgeous, I'm not going to deny that. - He smiled leaving her bewildered once again, to add. - I wished to get to know you better, to date you. I haven't lied to you. I liked you from the first moment I saw you. I talked to Mazoui about you, if you had a boyfriend or liked guys, of course. And my cousin didn't reveal anything to me about your origin. But I'm not a fool. I wasn´t totally sure, but you look too much like him, with those hunches and that magnetism that you radiate. I didn't tell you anything because that was never a problem for me. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry if I've made you suffer for that, but it wasn't my intention.

-I don't know what to say, - the girl was able to answer. -I could never suspect that you knew it and that you didn't care.

-Well, that's the way it is, - he smiled, holding her hands. - And we're not the only ones. Look at Alan and Naya or Susan and Giaal. - He listed her. -

- But what if we have children and they come out like me? - The girl could object still between babblings. –

- In that case, we will love them and take care of them with much love, and we will educate them to be like their mother, wonderful people, full of kindness. Listen...-He asked her while commenting with affectionate tone. - I didn't know what was happening to you, so, while we were coming here. I remembered this song that my brother covered, from an old but very good group. And now, having seen you, I think it couldn't be more suitable for you and me.

And before the perplexed girl, Coraíon limited to connecting the phone and turning up the volume. The excited Sandy could hear, as he whispered part of that lyric to her.

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine

I'm leaving my life in your hands

People say I'm crazy and that I am blind

Risking it all in a glance

And how you got me blind is still a mystery

I can't get you out of my head

Don't care what is written in your history

As long as you're here with me

I don't care who you are

Where you're from, what you did

As long as you love me

Who you are, where you're from

Don't care what you did

As long as you love me

And holding the girl's hands, he hugged her to slowly dance with her. Sandy was only able to sob with emotion.

Every little thing that you have said and done

Feels like it's deep within me (ooh, ooh-ooh)

Doesn't really matter if you're on the run

It seems like we're meant to be

I don't care who you are (who you are)

Where you're from (where you're from)

What you did, as long as you love me (I know)

Who you are (who you are)

Where you're from (where you're from)

Don't care what you did

As long as you love me

Yeah-eh-eh!

As long as you love me

I've tried to hide it so that no one knows

But I guess it shows

When you look into my eyes

What you did and where you're coming from

I don't care

As long as you love me, baby (ooh, ooh-ooh)

I don't care who you are (who you are)

Where you're from (where you're from)

What you did, as long as you love me

Who you are (who you are)

Where you're from (where you're from)

Don't care what you did (yeah-eh-eh)

As long as you love me (as long as you love me)

Who you are (who you are)

Where you're from, what you did

As long as you love me

Who you are (who you are)

Where you're from (where you're from)

As long as you love me

Who you are, as long as you love me

What you did, I don't care

As long as you love me

(As long as you love me. Backstreet Boys, credit to the artists)

The girl now could hardly look through the veil of tears. She had suffered so much from that cause that all of it seemed unreal to her. She had never felt so loved. Maybe she was dreaming but she certainly didn't want to wake up. Despite this, she was still able to ask strangely.

- Why? If you knew...

-Well, I didn't really know it at all. I suspected it. - He smiled at her.- But even then, I did not want to ask Mazoui to confirm it. I wanted you to be the one to confess it to me.

It was very clear; the boy had been waiting for her to have the courage to tell him. To show him that she truly loved him, as much as he loved her. It was ironic, Sandy was afraid that Coraíon's love wasn't strong enough when, the boy would have been wondering the same thing about her. Therefore, the young woman could hardly mutter.

- Coraíon, I wouldn't want you to suffer for me...

But the boy did not let her conclude the sentence, he put a finger on her lips and replied.

- You are the woman I love. How were you going to make me suffer? – And then the young man smiled almost looking funny and asked her with a tone full of affectionate and reprobative sense of humor. - Is it that there is something else that you have not told me, you little demoness?

Sandy watched him puzzled. Anything else? Did this seem like a small thing to him? Totally bewildered she could only shake her head, he smiled broadly then to add.

-I don't know. Remember and think about it. Something like you snoring at night or leaving the bathroom full of hairs. That would be terrible!

And after the amazement and disbelief that those words produced to the young woman, she could not help but smile, from there she began to laugh without being able to stop. Her partner laughed with her and when they were finally able to control themselves enough the boy insisted.

-Well, if you have already run out of excuses, I ask you again, my little fool succubus. Do you want to marry me? Or are you going to have me begging for it all night?

-Yes... I do – She babbled and hugged her boyfriend to kiss him to sentence. - Of course, I want to! - She repeated without being able to stop crying as she gradually returned to her normal appearance. -

Coraíon took her in his arms driven her to his bed, he wiped away her tears and kissed her, she responded to his caresses. They both made love and Sandy experienced a relationship full of softness, tact, and sweetness for the first time in her life. Until then sex had always come to her in the form of a torrent now instead it was a haven of peace in which she finally achieved total happiness. After a while, lying next to each other, they talked about how to tell each other...

-If my parents come it will be news that will surprise them a lot. I mean, I want to get married. - Coraíon said, adding cheerfully. - But I'm sure they'll love it, especially when they meet you.

-But maybe they don't like the idea. - Sandy dared to object still restless. - Especially when they know how I am.

-Don't look down on my parents, - the boy affectionately asked her, stroking one of her girlfriend's cheeks. They've seen everything you can imagine. And they know how to distinguish good people. The same as my godmother. They will love you as soon as they meet you. You'll see.

That made the girl smile hopefully. She thought about it with a timid hint of hope. She wished her boyfriend was right! And something else also occupied her mind... and immediately confessed it.

-I would like my father to be there so much too. Now that he has returned to Earth to solve some issues, I miss him even more than during my trip. - Sandy sighed that added full of bliss.  - He will be so happy!

-We will call him. - She was encouraged by Coraíon. - Don't worry, honey. Now that you've said yes, I don't mind waiting a little longer. Anything is possible if I have you by my side...

The two hugged and tried to sleep, of course she couldn't be happier. At last, she had managed to fulfill her most cherished wish. Someone loved her just the way she was. After a lifetime of rejection and anguish, she finally had the joy of starting a family at her fingertips. In the end her friend Amethyst and Mazoui had been right.

-Mom! I have finally succeeded. Now I can understand you better. - The young woman thought as she tried to fall asleep, caressing her partner's hair. - I really want to tell Dad!...

The next day and as soon as she had the chance, a radiant Sandy broke the news to Satory and Amethyst who hugged her very happily crying together with joy for her friend. Especially the millionaire's daughter did not let go of her partner.

-How happy I am for you! - Satory repeated, affirming. - You deserve it so much, Sandy!

-Congratulations, mate. – Her other friend smiled at her giving her a kiss on the cheek full of affection and adding in a more casual way. - Do you see it? I already told you. When I threw the bouquet and it fell to you, that meant something. And I assure you that I didn't do it intentionally.

-Yes, I can hardly believe that it really happened. - Sandy confessed to declaring with a soft voice. - I am almost afraid that it is just a dream and that I wake up.

- Well, I pinch your butt! Let's see if you wake up. - Amethyst smiled doing it at once. -

-Au! -the scientific brunette exclaimed, jovially protesting. - What are you doing?

-But you're still here, aren't you? -  The other girl laughed. -

-You take advantage of your pregnancy. Therefore, I will not retaliate, you, cutie. - Sandy responded jokingly while the questioned nodded amused. -

- Well, of course I do...- Amethyst confessed with the same playful tone. - Or else, with the mood you have sometimes, anyone dares! So, I’ve had to get pregnant to indulge in doing so.

Sandy laughed, everything at that moment produced that feeling of joy and jocularity. Amethyst seconded her while Satory looked at them both with a big smile, although she paled a little. Well, now only she was left. Her childhood friend married and expecting a baby. Her friend was engaged. But she didn't want to blur that happy moment. Laughing she joined the jokes of her companions although they had to leave it since Gwen and Claudia made an appearance. Sandy communicated her commitment to which they both reacted by cordially congratulating her.

-We're going to have to improvise another party. - Claudia said, looking amused at her married partner. -

-It is not necessary. I will invite you to something in the cafeteria of the SSP-1.- Sandy smiled. -

Gwen didn't comment on that, though she was thoughtful. She had been told that Dr. Wallance was someone special, but she couldn't see what. Apart, of course, from her extraordinary resume.

-I will have to ask for information. - She thought. -

The others, oblivious to their reflections, continued with their tasks. Of course, after work they went to have a drink to celebrate. And as promised Sandy was happy to invite them. Despite the pranks of Amethyst who only reproached her for not having made another of her cakes. Of course, the young fiancée responded that she would make her a delighted one.

-It would have been the height of happiness that you would have had one of your cakes made. - Satory laughed infecting the rest. –

However, for this time they had to settle for the specialties of the cafeteria that were not bad either. There the girls chatted a little bit of everything.

- You made much less than Ginger! – Amethyst commenting abounding in the joke. - We would have gone to her cafeteria; she would have served us the cake "Sandy" and we would be eating a lot.

-That is what you want! – Sandy laughed. - In case you did not eat already more because of pregnancy.

-Hey, girl! - it is said that you must eat for two. - Her friend jovially defended herself. -

-That is not correct. - Satory said with humor. - It has been a long time since such a silly theory was discarded.

-Well, but since the pregnant woman is me, it is my right to have cravings, and I have craved the Sandy cake ...

-Okay. Her friend conceded. -I've already told you that as soon as I can I'll make you a...

-Do you promise it? - Amethyst inquired almost with childish enthusiasm. - Word of Fairies Five?

Sandy and Satory laughed amusedly. They were in an unbeatable mood. The scientific brunette had to nod, and even raise her right hand with her palm outstretched and declare.

-You have no arrangement. Well, of course you have my word from fellow Fairies Five ... even if you grow fat like a barrel...

- Huh! But what do you say? - Amethyst exclaimed.- I am in top shape.

That caused even more hilarity, although well looked at it was. In the end the three of them laughed so much that their tears came to their eyes. Gwen and Claudia were smiling at themselves albeit in a discreet background. It was clear that the complicity of her companions was very great.

-Who is that Ginger? - Claudia asked them. -

-A good friend of ours, from the times of the trip to Bios. - Amethyst answered her. -

-And is she not here anymore? -  Gwen wanted to know. -

-She went to Earth. She had family there. - Satory spoke on this occasion. -

-We must call her and tell her this news, your pregnancy, and my next wedding. - Sandy said. -

-Hopefully she can come, it would be great. - Amethyst agreed, with visible enthusiasm. -

The girl was in a great mood and seemed to be very vital. In fact, jokes aside, Sandy had realized that her friend had a lot of energy. She had noticed something in her for a long time, without knowing how to specify what. Fortunately, it was nothing bad, quite the opposite.

-I'm very happy for her, and for me, - the scientific brunette thought not caring about it. -

  So, after a long time celebrating the occasion, they said goodbye to Leval's wife who returned home. Gwen and Claudia left a little earlier and then Sandy accompanied Satory who had met her boyfriend at another coffee shop. Thus, the happy new fiancée also told Mazoui. He hugged her as well and Mazoui said with fraternal affection as his partner went for drinks.

- Do you see it? Happiness comes to all of us, you were right when you told me. And now it's your turn. You will be very happy, Coraíon is a great guy. I think the time has come for me too. I am the one who must do the same thing my cousin has done with you and ask Satory. It's about time...

-I feel like we're preparing something, Mazoui. - Sandy whispered with a hopeful tone and with a big smile of joy. - A new beginning... I have a strange feeling. Something very powerful will emerge from among our group. A kind of culmination. I can feel it.

-I don't understand you very well, but it doesn't matter. - He replied, adding jovially, - the main thing is that we will all be very happy, for sure.

Sandy smiled again at Mazoui, perhaps not even she understood that very well. She was only able to perceive it. She thought again of Amethyst, somehow suspecting that her friend had to do with it. Meanwhile, Satory came over with the soft drinks she had gone to buy and congratulated her partner again.

-Well, for this time we forgive you for paying. You've invited us all before! - Satory smiled. -

-And Amethyst has taken full advantage of that! - Sandy laughed clarifying to Mazoui, who listened to her with funny face. - She has taken a triple ice cream cone and then a strawberry smoothie. And with the excuse of her cravings, she has made me promise her that I would make her a cake ...

-She has always been a good eater! - Satory laughed remembering with jocularity. - Being little girls I remember the times she got soaked eating sweets or ice cream. Then her guts hurt... but she never chastised.

-I can imagine it. -The scientific brunette smiled. -

-And there you have it, that cutie girl never gets fat! -Satory laughed. -

-This time she will. - Mazoui jokingly commented, pointing to his belly. -

That provoked more laughter, in this way they continued to chat jovially. Once she said goodbye to her friends to leave them alone, Sandy returned to her apartment. As soon as she could, she connected with the Earth. It took her a long time to get it, but through the Masters Corporation they were able to locate her father who worked in one of the laboratories of the large Multinational. Robert Wallance was immediately warned by one of his assistants and ran to stand before the communicator's screen in his office. The man was worried, he hoped that nothing bad had happened to his daughter. However, he only had to see it appear on the monitor to verify that fortunately it was not so, but quite the opposite.

-Honey! - he greeted her smiling at the sight of the girl's radiant face, "What happens? Is everything going well? - He asked almost by inertia, accustomed to the bad experiences of the past. –

-Of course, Dad. - She smiled after receiving that broadcast, affirming animosity. - Can't I call my father to see how he's doing out there without me?

-Of course, daughter. - He conceded and knowing her very well, he added. – And surely there is something you want to tell me.

- Yes. You see, my boyfriend Coraíon has asked me to marry him. And I said yes! – The girl asserted without wanting to make detours. –

-That's great, my life! – The doctor replied, which, however, he could say sounding like a timid objection. – But are you sure?... I mean, do you know him well?

-Yes, Dad. - Sandy responded, sentencing with obvious joy. – I know him, and he knows me.

And before her surprised father could almost assimilate it, she explained.

-He Accepts me as I am. He knows where I come from and doesn't care. What's more, when I showed myself to him with my other appearance it was so beautiful that I will never forget it. He said almost the same words you said to Mom.

Now it was the veteran scientist who couldn't help but have tears, he almost had to maintain his self-control for a few moments to be able to say.

-My daughter, you make me so happy! You deserve it so much! I really want to hug you, I hope to go to Bios as soon as possible.

-I also want to be able to be with you, and that you know Coraíon. You will see how you will like him. - Replied the enthusiastic young woman. -

-I already like him, honey. If he loves you for how you are. I will love him too as a son. And I know that your mother, wherever she is, will be very happy.

Her daughter nodded excitedly. They chatted a little more, and finally said goodbye. Now the girl had a lot to do. Her father on his side hung up feeling happy. As soon as he returned to the laboratory, his assistants and colleagues noticed. Coincidentally there was Dr. Winters who after greeting him, asked him.

-How about everything, Dr. Wallance? - Have you heard anything from your daughter and others?

-My daughter is going to get married. She was very happy. - He told her with obvious pride. -

- Congratulations! – Penelope exclaimed happy for her friend and former partner. - I hope to be able to talk to her and congratulate her very soon.

-I'm very glad for you, Robert. - Tomoe said affably, who was nearby, along with his wife Kaori. -

-Yes. - Congratulations. - She in turn wished him. -

-You will see when Mimette finds out, I'm sure she will propose to through a party. - Dr. Winters smiled. -

-It would not do us any bad. We will already have very few occasions to celebrate any, considering the new project. - Kaori said-

-Wow! - Robert commented now focusing on that. - So, phase two of the Fairies Five Project is still underway...

- That's the way it is. –Tomoe affirmed. - And we already have some volunteers for the mission...

-Among them myself. Since I have the experience with the SSP-1.- Penelope said. - Robert, it is a pity that your daughter and Amethyst will not be able to accompany us, but I know they are happy in Bios. Especially now that one is going to be a mother and the other, as you have told us, has just engaged.

And the news flew. As for Amethyst's motherhood, it was Leval who contacted his friend Tracer and told the news even before the future mother could tell Penelope herself. Although considering how joking her boyfriend was, Dr. Winters didn't want to believe him at first. When they finally confirmed it, Tracer did not hesitate to reproach her in his usual jocular style.

-Do you see it, Pennie? Who had you taken me for? I would never deceive you into something so serious.

-This time, I must apologize to you, Rick. - The questioner smiled. –

-It's a pity that we can't go and congratulate them in person, - the boy commented, more seriously now. -

-It is, - she agreed, to sentence. - But we have many obligations on Earth.

Among them that new project they had in hand. And for those who were going to need a lot of talent in research. This was explained by Penelope after regretting the absence of her friends. Her mentor, veteran Dr. Tomoe, nodded. That new project certainly sounded as exciting as the one that terraformed Bios. Although here things were going to be somewhat different...

-So, won't they go in search of a planet? - Robert asked. -

-I think that, thanks to the navigation charts that an advanced extraterrestrial culture provided us, we already have located one that will be perfect. - Penelope told him. - They have not gone into details.

And it is that Dr. Winters was not too clear about some things. Now, to her subsequent questions, her companions did not tell her more, arguing that there were still many things to be done. But she was soon assured that there would be news for anyone who was interested... in fact, some soldiers already had them, and the UNISON high command had begun to recruit volunteers first among those experienced officers who had already participated in the SSP-1 voyage.

-Sounds exciting. But I celebrate that my daughter is settling in Bios and not participating in that new trip. She has earned a peaceful and happy life with her fiancé. - Robert commented with enthusiasm. –

-That's the way it is. - Penelope agreed, who was then requested by Dr. Tomoe. -

The two said goodbye to Robert who continued his occupations. And as far as their friends in Bios were concerned, there was also a climate of good humor and expectation. Within a few hours many members of their families would arrive and together they would hold a meeting as had not been seen in many years. Those who were missing to know were Giaal and Susan on one side and Alan and Naya on the other. Lately the two boys had gotten along quite a bit and the four of them together went out for dinner or a walk. It was Alan who received the call from his cousin Mazoui on his mobile. After being informed, he told the rest.

-It's great news! – Naya said with a wide smile to sentence. I haven't known Sandy for a long time, but I know she's a wonderful girl.

The alien doctor certainly hadn't met that young woman much. Although enough to be aware of her secret and her fears and doubts.

-The poor girl needs people with she can talk about everything. That accept her for how she is. - Naya thought. - How glad she has found so many friends here and a person as special as Coraíon! - And after this reflection she said to Alan as she clung to one of his arms with both hands. - Your cousin is a very lucky man. Sandy is a very good girl.

-Well, I can't complain either. – He affirmed during the smiles of the rest. -

-They will be very happy in Bios. – Giaal asserted. -

-And how do you see it? - Susan asked him. -

- Good. Everything is clear. – The alien responded somewhat confused. -

He didn't know what it had to do with it, no more than he looked around he didn't observe anything out of the ordinary. Then Alan clarified it between the smiles of the others.

-It's a way of speaking. I guess you mean stabilizing and living in Bios. Truth?

- That's the way it is. - Susan admitted, that however, she commented now with a more serious tone - Giaal and I have talked about it. And we both think it would be interesting for our careers and even for us to continue. Although, at first, I would have liked to stay here, in Bios, but recently we had news ...

-You mean...! – Naya was able to reply that she was then interrupted by her brother who nodded revealing. -

-Susan told me that the vice admiral wanted to see me. I met with him, and he brought me up to the fore. It is rumored that the high command is preparing another expedition to continue exploring from Bios. It is believed that some probes that were sent located another habitable world. But, unlike the planet that is being terraformed, it already has oceans of its own.

-But it won't have life, will it?  It would be an intrusion if a ship were sent there to alter or destroy already existing living forms. - A concerned Naya commented. -

-It would be, yes. But they are not sure. - Her brother responded. -

-If they were just bacteria, there would be no problem. - Susan said nonchalantly. -

- I disagrees. These bacteria would be living beings and we would rob them of their right to evolve. - Naya objected. -

Susan looked at her puzzled, the same as Alan. It was the young alien's boyfriend who commented on her.

-We kill bacteria every day, consciously or not.

-But they are part of our ecosystem, and their life and death are intrinsic to us. Those other beings have nothing to do with it. We would be committing genocide. - The girl declared. -

-A bacterial genocide! Naya, please. - Susan exclaimed. -

-Well, let's not draw hasty conclusions. - Giaal intervened noticing how his sister emitted a mixture of sadness and discomfort. - If there were life, things would change, of course.

-I don't think that by a few simple bacteria they would have their plans changed. - Susan said. -

-You evolved from simple bacteria. What would you have thought if then, superior ways of life had eliminated you? - Naya denounced. -

-Well, frankly, I wouldn't have thought anything, I wouldn't be here. - Susan, who couldn't understand that girl's anger spoke. -

-Giaal, I hope you don't take part in that. - His sister asked him. -

The alien observed his interlocutor and his girlfriend at the same time.

-If there is life, I will advocate so that it does not suffer harm. I give you, my word. If there is not, we can take it. And a planet with those characteristics would be easier to populate. They are looking for environmental experts and connoisseurs of plants and plant life. Vice Admiral Spar himself proposed that I be in my capacity as head of the repopulation area and as an on-board doctor. And he tasked me with recruiting more qualified personnel. - He told Naya, staring at his sister. -

Although Alan caught that right away commenting.

-Would you be willing to go to that planet?

-If there is no previous life on it, yes. The question is. Would you be? - Naya inquired in turn with an anxious expression. –

-For you I would go to the most remote corner of the galaxy. – He smiled which made his girlfriend shine with happiness as well. -

-At the moment we may have to think about it a little. – The girl said paradoxically to explain, trying to sound more conciliatory when she noticed the expressions of Susan and her own boyfriend. – I do not want to risk going there and that there are living beings. Whatever these are. And I also want to finish validating all my titles on Earth. We may have opportunities there and we would avoid that terrible situation of invading the habitat of other beings. Also, we would be with Alan's family and our parents would know where to find us.

-Well, little sister, you must decide that. I would only ask you for one thing. – Giaal told them both. – At the moment do not say anything to anyone. Everything is still being prepared in the utmost secrecy.

-Don't worry, buddy. – Alan reassured him to remember. – We will talk more calmly. Naya is right. It is true that there are many things to weigh. But let's leave it for now. Now we should go and congratulate the happy couple, don't you think?

The rest agreed on that and soon came to congratulate Sandy and greet the parents of Leval and Amethyst. Alan asked Roy for news from his own parents and Giaal and Naya did the same about theirs. He told them that they were fine and eager to see them. They decided to prepare a party because the occasion deserved it. After a couple of days of preparations, they rented a place in the city of the ship and had been given news to Earth for Sandy's father to take a rocket to go meet his daughter. The scientist was more than willing to get going. But, apart from the celebrations there was a lot of work to be done. Sensors that continuously analyzed the planet Bios indicated that the oxygen in its atmosphere was increasing slowly but steadily. At even in a higher rate than initially anticipated.

-In spite of everything. The stratospheric ozone layer is very advanced, and the percentage of oxygen is breathable, although it is still scarce and produces dizziness if there is exposure of just a few minutes without masks. -Satory said. -

-Damn hypoxia! - Amethyst exclaimed. -

-Hey, since when do you know such complicated words? - His cousin Coraíon joked. -

-Look you're dumb! - She replied amusedly. Smiling then with nostalgia. -

Everyone understood. Those were the jokes that Garnet played on her. Coraíon nodded admitting it with a hint of sadness.

-Yes, my little brother would have said it, for sure. And he would have come running to hide behind me so that you wouldn't hit him on his head.

-That would have been the case. - Amethyst agreed. -

Sandy could feel that sadness combined with a lot of affection that both her boyfriend and her friend manifested. Also, Leval, although he took up the previous theme trying to get them out of that.

-The planet is getting better and better. We will be living in it sooner than we think. I'm sure.

-It's true. - Every day many trees are planted and the plankton we grow multiplies in the waters of the new oceans. And that produces a lot of oxygen. – Amethyst affirmed, much more animatedly now.-

Perhaps it would reach an optimal level for everyone within a few months, enough to go live permanently there by the time the house of Amethyst and Leval was finished. So said the Frenchwoman.

-You are making me envious. - Her friend Sandy commented. -

-We really want to show our parents the beautiful place that Bios is becoming. -Amethyst said. -

-Well, the same thing we could think of a little house for us too. Don't you think, Cory? - Sandy proposed to her boyfriend.

-I'll delighted in taking care of that. - He said, commenting to his cousin. - It would be a great thing if we were neighbors! Don't you think?

-Of course. - Leval agreed. -

-In a few years Bios will be a paradise and I am convinced that many more people will come to live in it. -Amethyst affirmed, also driven by optimism as she addressed Sandy and her cousin. – For me it would be wonderful to have you there by our side and that we were among the first. So, one day we will tell our children.

-It's something that shouldn't be dismissed. - Her friend smiled. – Especially now that we also want to find a family.

-Hey, don't run so much! – Coraíon intervened with a jocular tone when adding. - We have not yet laid the foundations of the next phase of chalets!

That made his fiancée and friends laugh. For her part, Satory also wanted her father to come and when she could she chatted with Diamond and Emerald who were her godparents. They told her that Ian was very happy now that he knew she was fine and that she had found a boy like Mazoui. The latter, as he confided to Sandy, was thinking more and more seriously about proposing to Satory, but he still judged that it was too early. He wanted things to calm down definitively and have a stable destiny. The truth is that he would like to return to Earth. There he had his family and above all he longed to lead a quieter life. He also worried somewhat about his sister Katherine; he knew that the girl had needed him. What's more, he remembered a conversation he had a short time ago. One of the former sailors, his godmother Minako, who was now a famous singer and actress, called him.

-Sir, - one of his subordinates warned him through the intercom of his office. - You have a call.

- From whom? -. He wanted to know. -

-A certain woman who said her name was Carola. - The officer commented. -

-Pass it on to me, please. - The boy told him. -

He knew that his godmother sometimes used that alias when she wanted to go unnoticed.

-She doesn't usually call me here. I hope it is not anything serious. - He said. -

Then, the image of that young blonde woman with long hair and blue eyes, appeared on the screen of her monitor. Although her gesture expressed concern. More so when she declared.

-Hello Mazoui. I hope everything goes very well in Bios. I am very proud of everything you have achieved. Although I would like to talk about it, unfortunately I call you for another reason. It's about your sister Kathy. She's not well. As soon as you have time, I ask you to go to see her. I didn't want to say anything to your parents. Nor do I think it appropriate to be more explicit here, in this transmission. But the situation is serious.

The broadcast ended. It was clear that she did not expect a reply. The boy was worried. As soon as he had time of course he would go to Earth to find out what was happening to his sister. Perhaps it was not necessary since Kathy would undoubtedly come to the celebrations of Bios. However, traveling to its mother world would not be a bad idea. He could take the opportunity to see her parents and godmother and go to Satory to talk to her father.  But that should be consulted by the girl to whom he had to formally declare himself to ask for her hand. Anyway, he thought that there would be time for that.

-I will travel there, as soon as possible. Although I may not like anything I find. - He sighed.-

In this way, for him and the others the hours passed and once the preparations for the party were made, everyone waited very eagerly for the rest of their relatives to arrive. They did not have to wait long because after half an hour, the ships arrived at the end...

Meanwhile, on Earth, Minako and the other sailors except Pluto were again gathered in an assembly of great importance. They were all dressed even as princesses of their respective worlds. Usagi, or rather Queen Serenity, informed them that Neherenia had got the Promise of the Saiyan ambassador not to alert Seren to the situation on her home planet. At least for the time being.

-Well, thank goodness that Neherenia was on the look of it. -Rei, as princess of Mars, declared. -

-Yes, we can count on her. The girl has known how to play her cards. - The princess of Uranus agreed. -

-But even she will not be able to hold the Saiyan ambassador for much longer if things get worse. - The Princess of Mercury, who was none other than Ami, said. -

The others nodded worriedly. Although the princess of Venus barely attended to that since her mind was meditating on another problem. As she told Mazoui she was very uneasy about her goddaughter Katherine. Despite this, she finally focused when listening to her friend and future sovereign, comment.

-Things in New Vegeta seem to have reached an impasse. At least for now. We can put that aside for the time being.

-That's very good news. -Hotaru, the princess of Saturn, said. -

Serenity nodded, taking the floor to expose.

-As for the next issue of the day to be discussed, you already know that on Earth another expedition is being prepared. This project is not as ambitious as that of the SSP-1, but it will be equally important. However, that world they plan to go to, called Nature, is not in our zone of influence.

-In such a case. What can we do? - Makoto wanted to know, in her role as princess of Jupiter.- If it is not part of our jurisdiction, we will not be able to intervene in case of conflict.

Serenity now smiled slightly to look at her friends and respond...

-But it is within the zone of influence of some old and dear friends. If all goes well, we can have a quick and direct way to communicate with them.

-I think I know who you're referring to. - Ami smiled in turn. - So, with their help, we could greatly strengthen the system of alliances.

-Yes, especially now that things on the planet of the Saiyan are so complicated. - Rei added. -

-Mamoru is now very busy collaborating with UNISON and the UN to see what implications that project might have. Because, and I tell you this in strict confidentiality. It's not just going to be a mission aimed at colonizing a planet. – And having said that she stopped for a few moments as if it were difficult for her to continue, at last she added with a somewhat uncomfortable and enigmatic tone. - There is something more, something quite ... difficult to assume, but I expect from all of you the utmost understanding, discretion and loyalty.

Now the others gave her a few looks full of surprise. Although they immediately nodded assuring their commitment, to which Usagi took the opportunity to reveal.

-More than a passenger and research ship, it is also a powerful combat station. It was decided that this should be the case based on previous experiences. Artemis and Luna, who are in the command center with Mamo-Chan, sent me detailed information.

And taking out a tablet showed some data to the others. Makoto was the first who could say with tinges of amazement and almost fear.

-This is really a very powerful warship... Its armament is tremendous!

-Usagi-chan. This does not seem right to me. - Minako commented at last moving her head. - This is not the purpose that this project should have. I don't know, the route to that world as far as we know is relatively safe. Why do they want so many weapons?

-I'm also surprised," Ami seconded her. - It has an impressive war potential. If it weren't for the nature going to terraform it, it would almost look like a war expedition.

Usagi then kept a significant silence. Although she didn't have to say anything, since Rei overtook it

-Well, it does seem good to me! - She blurted out, not without a certain aggressive tone so typical of her when she was indignant, when reasoning. - In case those damn invaders intend to attack them again. Then they will receive what the deserve!... They will not take us by surprise again!

However, it was Ami who looked at her partner and then at the others, to move her head and mutter, insisting on her previous comment.

-I am very afraid that such a powerful ship will not have a mere defensive function. Usagi-Chan?

The questioner took a few moments to reply, although when she did, she no longer showed the slightest hint of doubt to sentence.

-You're right... that is not its main function.

-What do you mean by that? - Mercury princess asked her. -

-Before answering you should know one thing. That ship carries many improved fighter jets, with a special technology, based on the investigations of Sapphire and Diamond among others, along with those of Professor Tomoe and his assistants. At first, they were reluctant to use it, in fact, that knowledge was not applied in SSP-1. However, after what happened, they accepted...

-What are you talking about? -Minako wanted to know, as surprised as the rest. -

-They said it was like a kind of inspiration. They adapted things from the future. You know, from the thirtieth century, but also from contemporary technology. The result, the fusion of droids with certain molecular biological compounds, so they could explain to me. They have called it varitech technology. And they are perfectly prepared for combat, the interception of the enemy and the destruction of some of their possible bases... if they found them.

Now everyone looked at her in amazement. What was their leader trying to say? As far as they knew the route to Nature was clear. The enemy had been defeated and retreated. Why would they find him again? Her friend and future sovereign had certainly commented on that more with a tone of certainty than probability.

-Why is it that you are scaring me. I have the impression that you are hiding something very serious from us. What are they going to do? - Ami was able to say. - This is not our style; it never has been!...

-We are guardian warriors. -Rei reminded her. - And we must fight against the enemy that threatens the peace and security of our domains.

-Those are not our domains. And no one has attacked us from there. - Minako objected. - We have no right to...

- How not? Of course, they attacked us, what's more, they started! - She was interrupted by an agitated Makoto, still remembering the tragic end of her godson to add with a somewhat more restrained tone already and strangely tinted with some joy. - And I think I understand what you mean, Usagi. And I think it's fantastic.

-I don't follow you. - The princess of Venus intervened. -

-Well, I do. -Michiru, the princess of Neptune, intervened to sentence. - We are going to take the storm to the enemy instead of waiting for him to bring it here.

-That's right. -Serenity admitted revealing. - That powerful combat force is divided into squads, each with several dozen varitech fighters latest model. They use the name of colors as a key. And the name of one of them is, Garnet squad. The most powerful and the best of all was named after Sapphire's son in memory of your beloved godson, Mako-chan. And I guarantee you they will do him justice.

The alluded to now trembled with emotion. It took her an effort not to cry but she held back. Instead, both Ami and Minako devoted looks of disapproval and horror to their leader. It was Venus who could object.

-But are you meaning what Michiru has said? That, far from defending themselves from a possible attack, are we going to be the aggressors? Are we going to go in search of the enemy? it would be to act like them... I don't think it's okay...

-It's not our decision. - Serenity responded imperturbably, to add. However, we already have several fronts open and another, the most terrible of all, that will come sooner than you can imagine. How much time do we have left? I don't know exactly. But we can't afford to have another threat hanging over our heads. Another one that could attack us again at any time. To avoid that possibility, we will have reinforcements. Our friends will help us, for sure.

-Have you asked them for their opinion? - An incredulous Minako inquired her. -

-I assure you that they will not oppose. They know from their own experience what it is like to face evil, just like us. And, to lose their planet. Now that threat is lurking against them as well. – Her interlocutor sentenced. -

-I think it is the most accurate. A preemptive strike. - Rei agreed. - Unfortunately, there are times when there is no other way out than to act like this. I think I know who you're talking about. And the identity of our enemy. And, in my opinion, that bastard has been asking for him for a long, long time...

-Yes, you must turn the tables and hit him first. He won't expect it. Now at last, the time has come to pay him back. - Makoto agreed to harden her bent. - And he will pay very dearly...

-This is not right. - Minako insisted. - Please, girls... reflect... you are speaking as our former enemies.

-That has nothing to do with it. - Rei responded. -

-How can it not? -Ami said, alleging. - They also believed that attacking us was necessary to defend themselves.

-Only they did it for no reason. We never attack them. However, we have suffered in our own flesh the attacks of those damn killers of Gralas! Have you forgotten about it? - A furious Makoto responded. - They have wanted to annihilate us again and again! And I think it's perfect not to wait for the next one. For once, it will be us who take a step ahead. -

-I support that. No more innocent lives in danger. - Haruka seconded her. -

-Unfortunately, it's hard, but we must do everything necessary to protect our solar system. -  Michiru added. – Makoto is right, we can't forget it.

The others lowered their heads, Ami sighed watching her companion with regret and at last opposed with disapproval and sadness.

-No, I could never forget it, but there is always a better way to answer than violence.

-We are losing our way. We are not like that. Don't you realize it? - Venus added with the same feeling of reproach. -

Serenity didn't seem to like that statement since she abruptly cut off her friend and sentenced.

-There is nothing more to meditate on this. What's more, a lot of thought has been done very carefully. - Uranus and Neptune, you agree, right?

The questioned nodded without hesitation.

-Of course, Your Majesty. -Haruka ceremoniously affirmed. -

-We don't like it, but there is no choice but to do so. - Michiru said. -

Although on this occasion they were not followed by Hotaru, who commented with prevention.

-I don't know if it will be a good idea to trigger a war. So too many innocent people will die.

Serenity nodded, sighing to admit.

-Minako, Ami, Hotaru, you are at a clear disadvantage. Seren, who is not present here, but who spoke to me about it, would welcome any attack on that villain of Gralas, both as a planetary princess of Pluto, and in her role as a Saiyan princess.

-We don't do well. - Hotaru insisted with eyes full of sadness. -

- It is ironic that it is the warrior of destruction who thinks like us. – Ami commented recalling. - Although of course, she is also the Sailor of the Renaissance. And she's studied medicine like I have. At least she is a nurse. - She qualified alleging in reference to the girl. - That will have made you realize the value of a life. Hotaru.

She nodded, and she, Mercury and Venus looked at each other stunned and grief-stricken. It was the doctress and guardian of wisdom who continued to comment with sadness.

- I agree with Minako and Hotaru. When I hear you talk like this, sometimes I think that you are no longer you and that you are going a long way. Especially you, Usagi-chan. You never went this way. You always gave forgiveness and kindness a chance.

-We are not going to intervene directly, and, in my case, I am the one I should be, dear Ami-chan. Your sovereign, Queen Serenity. - She sentenced the alluded to, state. - This is real politics.

-And unfortunately. Reality has some tolls that sometimes cost a lot to pay. - Makoto seconded, adding bitterly. - You can tell my godson's family. My friend Petz, Sapphire, and my other godson Coraíon. And to all those who have lost loved ones in the attacks of those scoundrels. I don't know what they would think of your desires to be so merciful.

-I understand Mako-Chan that you are hurt and have that anger inside you. - Minako declared, trying to advocate moderation while now addressing her sovereign. - But the others and you, Usagi-Chan, seem to like the idea.

Those provoked some protests from the others, insisting that this was not the case, which led to a brief discussion. Finally, Serenity herself, taking the floor with authority, settled that controversy.

-I have not said that I like it, on the contrary, I hate it. As sure it happens to the others. Just so you know, my own daughter is also against it. But she knows that it is not up to her, nor can she choose. Neither can I. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, unfortunately this time there is no such goodness in our enemies for which you advocate. - Her friend who finished off replied with regret. - And sooner or later I will be forced to assume my role, my authentic task in this story. The same as you. Therefore, enjoy the moments that you can live in the company of the people you love while you can... that's what I plan to do...

And if she declared that, as Usagi thought of her parents, her brother and as Serenity in her daughter of the future. For their part, the rest of the sailors were already able to articulate words. Those revelations had left them stunned, and in the case of some, horrified. Others, on the contrary, saw in these actions an inescapable and necessary course, even of deserved retribution. It would not be the most pious or the most sublime, but at certain moments, as they had been learning to their regret, there was no other option...
