**128. Strange visitors appear.**

-Those creatures are very picturesque, don't you think? -A very velvety female voice said. -

-Yes, I find it hard to believe that they are the ones who have given life to this world. -A soft male voice responded to her. -

-I think they may be like us- Another, more frivolous female voice intervened. – If they have been able to do that.

-They can't be like us, they're not at all evolved. - Another rougher male voice objected. – Rather they are primitive creatures.

- We will have a little fun with them, so we will spend some time. - A second male voice agreed more slowly. -

-Anyway, we opened the dimensional corridor for them to get here, right? - That frivolous female voice added with somewhat curious overtones. – What I don't know is why.

- We did what we were ordered by the high courts. That's enough. –That rough man's voice answered with a dispassionate tone. –

- Hopefully it was worth it, and we can hang out with those strange creatures. We have even influenced that planet to flourish. - That feminine and velvety voice declared. - With the primitive means they have, they would have taken many of their ... were called centuries, weren´t them?... in getting it.

-We could have totally changed it. The other woman's voice that seemed more childish said. - So, it would be finished...

-They don't let us do that. - The deeper voice objected. -

- Yes, that's the way it is. The orders were clear in that regard. But they didn't say anything about not having fun with those creatures. So, now we will have time to entertain ourselves with such insignificant beings. –The other man's voice that sounded more reflective than the previous one commented. -

And the voices were silent, at least for the time being. Meanwhile, on the planet Bios, life had taken hold in a way that was as rapid as it was surprising. It had been only three weeks since the success of terraforming. After staying to witness their first moments and solve some paperwork related to their vacation, Leval and Amethyst had left to their honeymoon. They went to Earth through the wormhole in space, they came back after twenty days. Both were joining their respective obligations after a few wonderful days on a honeymoon in which they also visited their parents and the rest of their relatives and friends from their home planet. There, they told them that they wanted to settle in Bios. That was the only thing that tarnished those two weeks a bit. But finally, their parents, above all, respected that decision. Thus, after remembering many of their adventures and remembering the past years, they returned with great desire to start their life together and to undertake the new projects and missions they had. To tell the truth, they missed their friends and colleagues from the new world and when they arrived at the ship's terminal, two of them, Mazoui and Satory, were waiting for them to welcomed them.

-Hi guys, how about the Honeymoon? - Mazoui asked with a cordial tone. -

-Mazoui! what's up, dude! - Leval greeted jubilantly and both cousins embraced effusively as the newcomer responded. - The Honeymoon has been fantastic; we have been catching up time. What about you?

- Satory and I have been dating somewhat lately. - He replied although without so much joy, pointing to the girl next to him, who only smiled shyly. –

- And how about everything around here? - Leval wanted to know. -

- Very quiet. Even boring. –His cousin responded nonchalantly. - Of course, I will not tell you I missed the action but I do not like this either, Zorton as bone as usual, although a little kinder and Freejar continues bananas, ha, ha!.

His interlocutor laughed and they both walked away a little. While the two boys told off their adventures and chatted about issues related to their military commitments and the strategic possibilities of the planet, Satory took her friend aside and whispered with apparent concern.

- The truth is that Mazoui is a very nice guy, but he seems to be defensive with me. I don't understand.

-Give him time, woman - Amethyst asked her without giving her too much importance. - You must assimilate it still; we have had a lot of emotions lately.

-Yes, - Satory agreed. - I realized that he is very sensitive, I didn't think he was so sensitive. And I really can't complain. He is gallant, considerate, whenever we meet, he arrives more than punctually. He even brings me flowers.

- And isn't he then How you had imagined it? - her friend smiled to add casually. - You're describing the perfect guy to me; however, you keep it up, I'm going to change him to Leval!

-Hasn't everything gone well between you? - Satory asked her, now with a strange gesture. – The Honeymoon is supposed to be a very happy time.

Amethyst shook her head amusingly, with how clever Satory was and sometimes she didn't understand these jokes. She immediately clarified.

-On the contrary. It's been wonderful! What I always dreamed it would be if I were with him. It's a charm! and I was very excited when we visited his parents and his sister Kerria. They always considered me one of the family and I am also very happy when we got together. And with my parents the same. We had the odd meeting; we ate together, and it was great. My father loves Leval and my mother the same. I have never seen her pour so many compliments on someone. – Amethyst laughed to try to imitate her mother's voice when she commented to her friend. – She constantly told me. "Daughter, this guy is crazy about you, you just have to watch how he looks at you. Don't let him escape." "Or I'll call Sailor Moon to punish you"... as she told me when she was bad as a child, ha, ha, ha!...

That made her interlocutor smile. She was very happy for her friend. It had cost her but in the end Amethyst had managed to be happy with the love of her life. More when she added with a sigh between cheerful and dreamy.

-And now we are advancing in the total terraforming of Bios that is increasingly beautiful and full of life. Hopefully soon you will be able to live in it permanently. The enemies have disappeared, and we can have peace and I will finish my studies at last.

-Yes, you are right. – Satory nodded sharing that enthusiasm about the planet. - Everything is going even better than we could have predicted in our best estimates. It is even almost miraculous! There are many things that I cannot explain to myself. Biomass growth patterns and even atmospheric evolution are too fast for what they should be. Even at our best estimations.

-Well, much better. - Her interlocutor smiled. - It is something so wonderful that even in our best dreams we could not have imagined something like this.

-You're right. - Satory admitted, adding more casually. - I've talked to Mazoui, and he's told me the same thing. He even calls me a spoiler. He thinks I must relax and enjoy the moment...

-Do you see it, silly? - Her friend confirmed, now returning to the initial topic of their conversation, and ignoring that last sentence. – I´ll tell you what happens, everything is going so well that you worry about nothing. Mazoui is a great guy! Maybe he has not yet asked you to take another step in your relationship, because he has seen you very restless about Terraforming, but he will, for sure.

And to top this off Amethyst, she put an arm around her friend by her shoulders, affectionately, squeezing her a little.

-Anyway, -Satory sighed shrugging his shoulders. - I guess you’re right, I've become too demanding, maybe since everything else is going so fast, I wish my personal life was at the same pace. Yes, you're right. – She smiled now with more relief. – I must have patience and not overwhelm me so much.

-Of course, woman, cheer up! - Her friend asked her with a jovial tone - come on, now that we are back, we will all have fun together, Mazoui, you, Leval and me, Okay?

- Yes. It will be magnificent. How much I'm glad you and Leval have returned! – Satory exclaimed in a much better mood although adding at once with a tinge of nostalgia - since Tracer and Penelope returned to Earth and Sandy is in Bios, we felt quite alone.

That was true. Dr. Winters received an offer from the Masters Corporation to run a research center associated with another ambitious project. She accepted without hesitation, although she would have liked to follow the evolutions in Bios. However, things were going so well that, as Satory told that Penelope´s presence was not necessary there. That's what the girl remembered when they said goodbye.

-Tell me one thing. - Satory asked her boss and friend. - Do you not want to stay a little longer? There are still many things to do.

-Yes, but they no longer belong to my field. In addition, everything is going so well in Bios that I feel that I need other challenges. – Penelope answered to confess. - The offer made to me by your father is very tempting. Dr. Tomoe himself called me to ask me to accept. I owe him everything, I couldn't refuse.

-Wow, then will you leave soon? – Satory asked her. -

-In a matter of a few days. When Rick has his transfer granted.

-Is Tracer going to go with you?

-As soon as I told him what was happening, he asked me to stay together. You know, it's the story of my life. - The scientist sighed to declare. - It happened to me the same when I separated from my old boyfriend when I embarked on SSP-1. He also asked me to stay on Earth.  In turn I insisted that he come with me, but he refused. I am sorry. For me, my career is the main thing then and now.

-So, Tracer has accepted?

Now Penelope smiled pleased to tell her friend.

-I was to tell him that this new project was for me the main thing and he hurriedly told me to wait, that he would ask for the transfer immediately. And with his service sheet he did not have the slightest problem. In addition, with the change of destination they will promote him to major. His new base will be only a few hundred miles from my workplace. He said that there would be no problem, that, if necessary, he would borrow his fighter to go visit me, Ha, ha!

-I'm very happy for you. - Satory smiled, holding the hands of her former boss. -

-The only thing I regret is to separate myself from you, Sandy, and Amethyst. We were a magnificent Fairies Five team. Now you will be the one to take over.

-Well, or Sandy, who is also a magnificent scientist. - Satory commented while blushing. -

-That is already at your discretion. - Penelope smiled and added with more joviality. - I wish you all the best. And you, let's see when you take the step with that handsome official.

-We are already dating. - The young woman who blushed immediately, responded. -

-I mean something more permanent. - Her friend said. -

Satory didn't respond to that, they kept chatting about other things, and finally said goodbye. He didn't see Penelope anymore until she left. Now she was coming back from those memories. It was Amethyst who pulled her out of them by asking in surprise.

-When has Sandy come down to the planet? I assumed that people would still have to wait to be able to descend to Bios given the provisional nature of the atmosphere.

-Well, you will see. - Satory explained to her, recalling her previous observation. - During the time you have spent outside, all kinds of vegetation have not stopped being planted. The tree mass has grown considerably as well as the marine plankton we sow in the oceans. In addition, a test was done a week ago and Sandy proved to adapt very well to the conditions of the planet. Now we have managed to make the atmosphere breathable for some people, although it still needs a higher percentage of oxygen. Most people get dizzy from hypoxia when they've been down for a while, but she, for example, doesn't. That girl is amazing! She has an uncommon resistance. In addition, with anti-radiation filters she can spend a lot of time on the surface.

-Wow, - Amethyst exclaimed, being surprised although she thought. -It must be because of her special genetics. - The words of her friend confirmed her deductions while she added. - I do understand. The atmosphere has not yet been endowed with stratospheric ozone, has it?

-No, her friend replied to explain. - It is being tried to insufflation it in large quantities, but it will still take some time for ultraviolet rays and other radiations to be tolerable. Therefore, only people with a high level of resistance can be there for an extended period. Mazoui will probably be brought down too, he proves to adapt very well, just like Sandy. I hope that soon the trees and vegetation that are being planted will make the atmosphere richer in oxygen and we will all be able to live there.

-Sure. Keep in mind that this world will not be as big as Earth. But with an equatorial diameter of almost seven thousand kilometers that measures, we have a lot of work ahead. Although I am convinced that everything will go well and faster than we assumed. - Amethyst affirmed with clear optimism. –

-At least we will have time. -Her interlocutor told her, reporting immediately. – According to the latest geological studies it is a young planet. It will be no more than a billion years old. Its core is still active and has phenomena of volcanism and continental tectonics. That is why we should not worry. The machinery will not stop for at least a few hundred million more years. And that will allow geological cycles and atmospheric circulation to be maintained.

-Well, then we can go calmly. -Her friend smiled, then she addressed her husband. - Well, let's settle into our new house. Honey, we must go.

Meanwhile Leval had been chatting with his friend about some things. First, he wanted to know how everyone was on Earth. His cousin gave him regards of the boy's mother, stepfather, and sister whom he could see fleetingly. He told him that, along with Roy and Diamond, he trained a little and that they were both looking forward to going to see them, especially when he could get off at Bios.

-Amethyst's mother and mine were not too happy with the prospect of us staying here. I mean, that idea of settling into Bios. They see it premature.

-And above all, distant. - Mazoui added. -

-Yes. - Leval sighed. - You know how they are; they didn't want to ruin or honeymoon. At least in front of Amethyst. But my mother, as soon as she had some time alone with me, she told me about it.

The boy remembered, just a couple of weeks ago. After having arrived on Earth and taken a few days there. His wife and he had told their respective parents about the idea of living on this new planet. They immediately saw how Diamond and Roy gave them their blessings and both his mother and Amethyst's mother smiled, but in a forced way. Leval immediately knew that none of them was amused by this project. And being alone with his mother, in the boy's room, she told him.

-Son, I understand that you have gone through a lot, and that you are excited to colonize that planet. But don't you think that here, on Earth, you could be better off?

-We really want to live there, Mom. - Leval told her. - If all goes well, Bios will be a true paradise.

- I see, son. - Beruche sighed, looking at him with trepidation and declaring with a worried voice. - But what if not? Honey, I don't tell you this just because I want to have you here...Look. Both Emerald and I have talked about it. And we both know what it's like to grow up on a desolate planet. With just a few tracts of grass and a handful of trees.

Leval immediately learned that his mother was referring to Nemesis, her home world. Therefore, he affectionately took her by the arms and assured her.

-Mom, Bios won't be like Nemesis. It is being terraformed. There will be great forests, and lakes, and seas...

-Perhaps. - His interlocutor muttered, lowering her gaze to say.- But it may take decades or even centuries. I hope I'm wrong but surely Amethyst and you will not see it. Your children, or their children, may do so. And I do not wish for you the hard and sacrificial life that my parents and, above all, my grandparents, had to endure.

-Don't worry, mom. - He smiled cheerfully, to sentence. If we really saw that Bios does not prosper, we have the SSP-1, and the possibility of returning here. Your ancestors could not count on those alternatives.

His mother nodded slowly, and in an almost dreamy voice she evoked.

-I still remember the first time I came to this world in this time and saw the sea. So immense and so blue! I was immediately fascinated. And then the forests, the mountains. All the landscapes of this beautiful planet! I wouldn't want your children to be deprived of something like that.

-We will be able to bring you to visit the Earth often. With going through the wormhole, we will be here in just a couple of days. - Leval said. -

-But what if that hole were closed? Think about it, honey. Nemesis was so far from Earth that, even in its closest moment, it took many months to go. And when the planet moved away it was impossible, even for the technology of that time it took years.

It was curious to hear his mother talk about something that, technically, would not happen until at least almost a thousand years from now, as if it were a thing of the past. Although paradoxically it was for her. However, leaving that consideration aside, the boy replied with a reassuring tint.

Scientists are investigating the hole and have calculated that the chances of it disappearing in the coming decades are very remote. Really, Mom. You don't have to worry about it.

-I hope you're right, honey, - she replied without sounding convinced at all. -

The conversation was abruptly interrupted as they heard footsteps approaching accompanied by Kerria's voice. The girl arrived jovially, greeting her brother and mother with kisses on the cheeks.

- What´s up?

-Well, potato face, - he replied with a smile. - How are you doing?

-The university, you know, I am kind of nervous about exams. But fine.

-I thought you were going to go see Amethyst, - her mother told Kerria then.

-She went to do some shopping with Emerald. They had many things to tell each other. - Kerria replied. - We will see later.

-Sure, well. I leave you to talk too. – Bertie said with a slight smile. -

When their mother came downstairs, Kerria's face went from being jovial to somewhat worried and she immediately whispered to her brother.

-She told you. Didn´t she?

-Yes, I guess you're referring to our decision to settle in Bios. - Leval admitted. -

-Since you told us, she has been thinking about it. Dad and I have insisted that there is nothing to fear. That using that wormhole, you are not so far from here and that we can see each other often, making that trip...

-But she remembers how difficult life was in her home world. - He added. -

-Give her time. - Kerria replied more nonchalantly. - As soon as she finds that her fears are unfounded, she will rejoice as much as we do.

He remembered this while his cousin was listening to him with attention, and when Leval finished telling him that, Mazoui for his part informed him.

-Well, your mother cares about you. It's natural. Mine, on the other hand, believes that it is not so much. And she trusts what I have told her. The hole is stable. And that's not the only good news. Here things are going quite well, as we have already told you. So much so that I believe that the high command plans to create military detachments to equip the bases that will be built on the planet. Although it is only rumored for now.

-It will be great when we can live there. Much better than on the ship. – Leval valued as Amethyst and Satory approached them. - Although now we cannot complain about the accommodation here. --Ah, yes, I almost forgot- He commented to Mazoui and Satory. – Major Freejar told me that, as newlyweds, we had been granted permission to build a house in the city and that the plot destined for it was quite large, so we will live outside the base.

-It's a start. We are lucky to be able to benefit from the policy that exists to encourage unions on board and the creation of new families. - Amethyst stated adding hopeful as she approached the two. - Although what makes me excited is to have our house in Bios.

-I will ask the authorization to start the works as soon as possible, honey. - Her husband responded to her. However, he objected. – But you know better than I do that due to the circumstances of the planet that will take time.

-I have already been proposed to go down. - Mazoui informed them, confirming Satory's suspicions, - houses are being built in the areas already prepared with the necessary infrastructure.

- So soon? – Leval exclaimed surprised. - It's only been a little over three weeks!

-Many prefabricated frames and planted grass in blocs have been brought from the ship. - His friend told him. -The builders also transplanted trees from the park here. You should have seen how many workers they have sent. Even from Earth many transports have arrived with vegetation and other elements.

-Yes, that's what I told you, Amethyst. - Satory intervened affirming with optimism. - They work non-stop, every second there is a new tree or plant that will add more oxygen to the atmosphere.

- Soon we will be able to live down there as if it were the Earth! – Amethyst exclaimed with enthusiasm. - And, who knows? We will be able to raise our children in that world, like the first natives of the planet.

Everyone looked at each other amused. They had not thought about it, although that idea was certainly not unpleasant to them.

- The truth is that it is incredible how well everything has gone. - Satory sighed admitting with a half-smile. - As I told you before, girl. Not even in my best dreams could I imagine it.

And after exchanging a few more comments, both Leval and his wife said goodbye and went to the area where Freejar told the boy that his new home was. So, the young couple left for there without realizing that these mysterious voices sounded behind their backs. One of them, the most jovial female, wondered aloud.

-How is it possible that these little-evolved things have created life? Will they be covert Gods?

- Bah! - The roughest male answered her. - Soa, let's get out of here, this has no interest...

-But Buruk, - she objected. -We haven't seen enough yet... I want to see those funny creatures more closely.

- What a waste of time! - He snapped. -

-Let´s go! - The female voice asked him with a dye between mellow and childish. – We have a lot of time.

Soa became visible in a secluded corner between two buildings, she had the appearance of a mulatto woman with oriental features, wavy hair, long and dark with somewhat bluish glitters, an attractive combination. She wore a tight black jumpsuit with matching loafers.

- Okay - Buruk said so, he materialized next to her with the appearance of a big black man, very muscular and of enormous stature, dressed in a kind of leather pants and wearing his torso almost exposed except for a picturesque tank top, commenting reluctantly. - You always get away with it. But I warn you that as this continues so anodyne, I will leave...

- Don't be so boring! Surely Zoen and Dialen don't have better things to do than be here either. - She told him with an annoying tone. – Everything seems tedious to you.

To the spell of their names two more people appeared, a very attractive man, and a woman both. The woman with short dark hair, dropping two bushes of hair on her face as sideburns in the shape of a crescent and the man with blond hair and raised. She wore a tight red suit that looked like a swimsuit, with high black boots, he wore a kind of vest and a wide beige pants.

- Wow. - The woman who answered Zoen's name, joined the conversation. - Are you still here? Have you made us take the form of these ridiculous beings just so we can see them more closely?

- You said that we should see them closely, right? - Soa smiled. -

- Ah! - her interlocutor replied with an indifferent voice and disdainful countenance. - I said that before, but now I have changed my mind ... - she made a gesture with one hand and in the middle of the air appeared an image of Leval with Amethyst. - Although this creature looks somewhat different from the others. - She said pointing to the boy. -  I notice that he has more energy.

-And what does it matter? -  The other man, named Dialen said carelessly. - They are inferior beings; they do not deserve our interest. Let's keep going around the space, there are more interesting things to take care of.

- I disagree on that.  - Zoen responded to him - I have an interest in this matter.

In the images that everyone saw, Leval and Amethyst were already in their new house kissing as they lay on the sofa unwrapping little by little.

-What are these creatures doing? - Soa asked looking surprised at that, in her opinion, strange scene. -

-It must be some rare and absurd custom of theirs. - Buruk nonchalantly supposed, - nothing worthwhile.

- I don't agree either. - Zoen smiled to reveal visibly intrigued - Now that I have this body, I want to know how they use it.

And that said, she disappeared. Buruk looked at Dialen who shrugged, the giant frowned, and faded as well. Soa and her partner looked at each other indifferently and imitated him. Meanwhile. After having some sex, Amethyst and Leval were lying on the couch, chatting.

-Every day you are more vigorous. - Leval smiled. - You have recovered one hundred percent.

His wife nodded with a smile. Although that had been around for quite some time, but yes, she felt very fit. Amethyst still remembered that terrible accident in the laboratory where she worked. And how miraculously she came out alive from that explosion. However, now looking back she thanked that accident, that made Leval realize that he loved her.

-I had a good nurse. And you are also as good as new. - The girl answered to him. -

That's right, that terrible viral disease that was about to kill her husband was another very hard test. Now they could say that, after those terrible two events, their love grew and became much stronger. Although in line with that, Leval commented to her.

-No, now seriously, I notice you much stronger than before. Even physically.

-Well, I´ve trained a lot during rehab and on our honeymoon, I trained with your sister too. -Amethyst said. -

- Hey! I hope they are not the same trainings that you and I do. - Leval laughed. -

His wife turned red; how could he think of saying that to her? Although Amethyst immediately laughed, since she was in a very good mood, to affirm jokily in turn.

- She may have been the most suitable to train in that, after all she is your sister. Ha, ha!... although I don't think Samantha would have been amused by the idea. And, on the other hand, despite I love Kerria very much, but my tastes don't go that way.

- Good thing that none of them can hear us at this time. - Her husband laughed in turn. -

However, Leval had noticed that his wife had a greater energy. Amethyst herself, with a thoughtful gesture, did admit.

-It is true that Kerria, when we were practicing as Justicieras, told me that I was taking it very seriously. But I didn't do anything I know better than overexerting myself.

She remembered that and other things she didn't want to tell Leval. Kerria and she were indeed practicing. After exchanging some attacks and dodges, Amethyst was surprised when her friend, seeming exhausted, asked her as she gasped for air.

-Wait a bit, girl. You are very fit for me.

-Are you okay? -  She wanted to know with a worried gesture. -

Her sister-in-law nodded, although she took a seat on a stone of those that abounded in that isolated wasteland to which they went to train. After a few moments, Kerria told her.

-You fight at a much higher level than before. Now I can hardly even defend myself.

-What's up! – Amethyst exclaimed visibly puzzled. - It's a simple workout.

-Well, what will it be like when you really fight. -Her friend sighed. -

-Well, on the ship I had to fight against those invaders. And it was terrible. - Amethyst confessed now with a serious gesture and saddened to remember it. - Luckily, I had the help of a good friend.

-That girl you say is like cousin Mazoui? – Kerria asked. -

-Yes. - She admitted. -

Although she did not give up Sandy's name to her sister-in-law, judging that her friend's identity should remain hidden. At the end of the day, that belonged to her intimacy. Despite everything, she was sure that Ky would keep the secret, but it was not about that, but about respecting the anonymity of her Fairies Five partner. Anyway, something else worried her, and that's what she said.

-I was talking to my parents about all that, and then when I went shopping with my mother, we chatted too about the life that Leval and I wanted to start at Bios.

The two contemplated a showcase in line with the dresses that were exposed the mother of Amethyst commented.

-We have released a great collection for this summer. I wish you could be there to see it!

-Mom, you can send me some video to the SSP-1, and I'm sure your dresses will be sold there too.

Her mother overshadowed the gesture and she immediately realized that something was not right.

-Mom. What's wrong? - Amethyst asked her with trepidation. -

-I was talking to Bertie, she agrees with me. We were very lucky, even more so. It was a miracle that you could come back from there, through that hole. We suffered a lot before when your cousin died. Since then, we have feared for you. And when the ship disappeared. - The fashion designer sobbed.-

Amethyst looked at her worriedly and immediately gave her a hug. Emerald couldn't help crying.

-Sorry, honey. I don't want to make you bitter on your honeymoon.

-No, please, tell me what's going on. - The girl asked her. -

And her mother, after separating a little from her and wiped away her tears, looked into her eyes to mutter.

-Couldn't you and Leval come to live on Earth? You would be much safer here. And you would have everything you could want.

The young woman sighed, she had figured something like this when she and her new husband told their parents about the plans they had. She took a few moments to, calmly and sweetly, respond to her mother.

-Leval and I are very excited about our life together. And we want to create a family, something new, in a new world. We have faith that Bios will become a very beautiful planet someday.

-Daughter, I know what it is to grow up and live in a cold and desolate world. Away from everything. I would not want that same fate for you and your children.

-That won't happen. - Amethyst assured her. - We have an amazing team of scientists and engineers. Bios will become a wonder and dad and you will come to see us and your grandchildren.

Her mother sighed with resignation, nodding slowly. However, she tried to cheer up her face with a smile and responded.

-I hope so, daughter. Hopefully you and Leval can be very happy, wherever you are!

When she finished telling her that, Kerria, looking at her with a mixture of solidarity and regret, told her.

-My mother told Leval the same thing. And he responded in the same way as you have. You must admi it, Tist, it's hard for our parents...

-I know, Ky. She muttered holding her sister-in-law's hands to sentence. It is our goal, the fruit of so much work and effort. And the memory of those we lost. Living in Bios is not only the realization of our dream but also of theirs.

-I understand, Tist. -The girl nodded. -

Amethyst hugged her, she remembered that now, lying next to her husband, almost as if dreaming. However, the beep of the alarm of her phone took her out of that condition of reverie and before her husband could say anything, she sat up and exclaimed startled.

-Wow! - She recalled - I had forgotten that I had to go through the laboratory to start to work. - She got up from the sofa and began to get dressed in a hurry. -

-I have permission until the afternoon. -Her husband told her. - I will wait for you while I fix the house a little, there is still some furniture missing so I will try to bring something to make us more comfortable.

-Very well, - she whispered, kissing him. - I trust your good taste. See you in the afternoon, my love. – So, with not more delay she left the house in a hurry. -

Zoen watched behind the door of the next room, adopted the appearance of Amethyst, and waited amused for that creature after getting up to get dressed and go to another room. After she went out to meet him, the boy was surprised to see her.

-Have you forgotten something? - He asked her while looking at her in surprise. -

-Let's do it, - she proposed him with a smile. -

- Let´s do it, what? - Leval looked at her with an expression of not understanding her. -

- That thing, take off your clothes and let's lie down there - She nuanced to him pointing to the sofa. -

- But Amethyst, weren't you late? - Leval objected between funny and stunned. -

-It doesn't matter, let's do it. - Zoen insisted impatiently. -

Then she pushed the boy with superhuman strength. Leval fell to the sofa looking at her more and more surprised. The push had been so fast that he hadn´t time to move.

– Come on, come on... I'm curious. - She said, throwing herself at Leval with incredible speed. -

-What's wrong with you? I notice you very strange. - He was able to ask. -

-Oh, no! - Zoen said, perfectly imitating the ways she had heard from that human when she became mellow. - You don't like me anymore...

- Don't be silly. - He hurriedly replied that he kissed her lips, adding nonchalantly. - If you're not in a hurry, neither am I. Although I will have to put in the effort, we just did it! I certainly didn't think you were so insatiable, you've increased in that too, - He laughed as he stripped off his clothes.

His "wife" did the same. Leval stood on her and made love to her. However, his wife did not flinch or return the caresses, nor smile, he was very surprised by all that. He also didn't think he was doing it so badly.

-I thought this would be more entertaining. - Zoen said disappointedly. -

And without giving time to the replica, with enormous speed she placed herself on her partner astride and adopted her original form. The boy looked at her petrified.

-Who are you? - He asked in assent. - You are not Amethyst!

-Let's go primitive creature, give me all your vigor! - She exclaimed and forced Leval to penetrate her harder. -

-Leave me! - He shouted and tried to get her off his back, but he could not move her a millimeter, despite using a lot of strength, he even became a super Saiyan while threatening. - You have asked for it. I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt you, but you force me.

-Harm? What is harm? - Zoen inquired while she remained unperturbed even though the boy penetrated her with much more violence than he did with his wife on the wedding night. -

That would have shattered the bowels of a normal woman, but that stranger looked at Leval with a frosty indifference. The boy couldn't be more surprised. Who was that woman? Suddenly, she got up leaving him in full excitement to say with serene nonchalance.

-I'm not interested in this strange game. What is it for?

-What? - He could say, panting for the effort. What are you? - His stunned interlocutor got up laboriously covering his parts, but the strange woman looked at him with that indifference that puzzled him. - What do you want from me?... What have you done with Amethyst? - He asked, starting to get angry. -

- You asked so many questions - That strange being said to sentence with disdain -... I am not interested in communicating with you, you are not a superior being.

-Now you will see if I am a superior being or not! - Leval exclaimed, and he disappeared to reappear next to her, holding her by the arms as he added with triumphant dye. - What do you say now?

He hadn't finished the sentence when the woman was behind him and freed from his grip, he couldn't believe it, how had she done it? He had never seen anything like it!

- You are very primitive, you are only matter, just little energy. I don't know how Soa can be interested in creatures like you. - She declared with contempt and made a tired gesture with one of her hands that threw the boy against the wall. - Bah!

Leval tried to move but couldn't, immense force kept him paralyzed. Meanwhile she approached and held his member, caressing it gently, then wielding it more firmly. Perplexed, he became excited against his will as his captor asked him.

-Is this pleasant to you? - I've seen that other being do it to you. Why?

-How? - Leval asked without giving credence to what he heard, he replied as he could in the middle of it. - It was my wife, we made love.

-What is that? what have I done with you? Why do you do it?

- To enjoy ourselves, express our love and maybe one day have children ... - He could answer. -

Although Zoen looked at him strangely, asking again with the bewilderment reflected in her countenance.

-Children? What are children?... What is love?

Leval looked at her in amazement, he could not take the caresses anymore and bathed the hand of that woman, she let go and looked at her with disbelief, full of that viscous fluid.

-What is this strange thing? An attack perhaps? No, I don't think so, you haven't done it on purpose, - she smiled to insist in a playful voice. Maybe is to pollute me? She insisted dispassionately holding her victim by the neck and lifting him effortlessly, as if he were a doll while she commented questioning him again. - I'm curious, what's that for?

-It's our way of reproducing. - He said with a thread of voice because he felt weaker and weaker. -

- I don't get it, but it doesn't matter. - She smiled and suddenly disappeared leaving a stunned Leval naked and lying on the ground. -

The boy reacted after a few minutes, he got up and got dressed, he still didn't believe what had happened. It was as if he had woken up from a long sleep. He decided not to say anything to Amethyst about this, although he was restless. What if that strange being had been impersonating her for longer? Was that the woman he had married?

-I must not become paranoid. - He said trying to stay calm. - Surely Mazoui will be able to help me.

And as soon as he could, he went out in search of his cousin. For their part, the strange beings listened to Zoen, who told them what had happened once she returned to them. The truth is that none of them understood it well, but they didn't care at all. The only one who showed some curiosity was Soa, so she decided to be the one to make the next foray among those funny creatures. For her part, Amethyst was in the laboratory. Now, with her newly acquired status as a trainee researcher she had risen, she would have greater responsibilities but true to her style she took it as a challenge and loved it. Anyway, she greeted her companions and as soon as she could began to catch up. Of course, she had a personal message that she consulted on her computer. When she opened it, she saw Ginger's smiling face? The girl told her.

-Hello Amethyst, I hope you enjoyed your Honeymoon very much. I would have liked to stay in SSP-1, near Bios, to greet you on the way back, but I returned to Earth with my parents and brother. I will help in the family restaurant and take the bar for now. You may wonder if they already know what happened to me. The answer is no. But do not worry. Now everything is going great.

And to prove it, before the admired eyes of her friend she increased the plane to get out of her whole body, showing her legs. And they weren't prosthetics! Amethyst was opening her mouth in a stunned way as she listened in the background to her friend's jovial and cheerful voice...

- Surprise! The treatment that Giaal gave me has been a success. I've even grown two centimeters! Now I'm a meter sixty-five. Well, I'm still a plug compared to you and Sandy, but I'm not going to complain either. From what he explained to me, our wonderful doctor developed a compound that he saw the inhabitants of that vegetable world where he came from use. It serves to completely regenerate parts of the body. As trees do when they cut off their branches. It's a very complicated thing for me. Surely, you would understand if he explained it to you. But the fact is that it has worked. And tell Sandy that the cake we made up is having a lot of success. Anyway, I couldn't be happier. I owe everything to you. That's why I'm very sorry to walk away from your side. Although, I do not rule out going back for more adventures. Who knows? In addition, I adopted one of the SSP-1 orphans. A boy as young as three years old who lost his parents during the attack. So, I'm going to throw myself into the experience of being a mother, yes, single for the time being. He is a wonderful boy, blond and with curly hair, but also a little naughty at times, especially when he gets angry. It reminds me a little of you! Ha, ha. - She laughs funny, adding. - His name is Dean. I hope that Leval and you decide soon to have yours, you will see how happy you will be. - She shortened the shot again to show her face, winked and smiled, to say goodbye. - I love you very much, see you soon, friends. Take care of your yourself and make Bios a wonderful home for everyone...

And the broadcast ended. It had been recorded for several days. Since Ginger hadn't known when they were going to come back. Amethyst almost cried excitedly. All this was wonderful news that only increased her joy. She could barely mutter, as if her friend could hear her.

-How glad I am for you, Gin! You will be a great mother. I hope I will follow you very soon in that. Hopefully, we will see each other again. Well, I must tell Sandy... Let's see when she comes back! I really want to say hello to her and get us up to date.

And precisely her friend was on the surface of Bios while the workers moved quickly building infrastructures, planting vegetation, and designing new environments. In a makeshift outdoor lab, Sandy would take data and finish the odd experiment. As Satory explained to Amethyst, the young scientist, thanks to her out-of-the-ordinary resistance, was selected to descend. She really wanted to step on that world. Despite that she took precautions, as much as her genetics gave her an advantage, she should not expose herself too much and was obliged, same as the rest obviously, to wear a protective suit. It was so complex that it looked almost like an astronaut. She was completely covered by an anti-radiation coating and carried an oxygen supplement. The most annoying thing was to manage with those thick gloves that protected her, they were the most uncomfortable to hold the instruments. Although, little by little she was adapting to use the material. However, she took everything for good use. The tests she did provided with increasingly promising results.

-Bacterial breeding grounds thrive quickly, and vegetation grows steadily and rapidly. - She commented by her transmitter to her colleagues who were on the ship to affirm - if this continues, according to computer calculations and my own estimates, oxygen in the atmosphere will reach levels suitable for sustaining human life in six months. That of stratospheric ozone in about fifteen.

-Received, - they replied from the ship to indicate not without some prevention. – Now Dr. Wallance, you must return. It's been down there too long.

-Very well, I am aware. – She replied that she cut off communication. –

She liked being called a doctor, she was able to write her thesis shortly after starting the terraforming of Bios, precisely about that and its implications in the advances of the branch of micro botany. With her knowledge acquired and her experience accumulated during the trip she had no problem defending it and passing with honors. Besides, among the members of the tribunal were Penelope and Professor Tomoe himself, who wanted to judge that thesis before returning to Earth. Sandy remembered with a smile her father's look of pride as she finished her arguments in defense of her doctoral presentation. After the great applause received, the two embraced. He could only repeat to her full of affection.

-If your mother could see you now, honey!... Although I'm sure she'll be watching you from some beautiful place and she feels as happy and proud as I am.

-Thank you very much, Dad. I owe this to you. - She was able to say with obvious emotion. -

-It was you who overcame all obstacles. The merit is entirely yours, my daughter. -  Her father declared. -

That was a great day. Her friends were also there and congratulated her effusively.

-Congratulations, Dr. Wallance! - Amethyst exclaimed running to hug her. -

-Thank you very much. - She thanked her, letting herself to be embraced. -

-Well, now anyone can stand you! - Her friend laughed. -

-Look who is speaking, the recent Mrs. Malden. It will be impossible for you to complain, with such man that you have trapped! - She replied with joviality.-

Her interlocutor shook her head, looking at her husband with a smile, Leval was exchanging greetings with Professor Tomoe and Penelope. Soon the three of them approached.

-Once again, congratulations, Sandy. Your thesis is really brilliant. - The doctor asserted.-

-Thank you very much, it is an honor for me that you say that. - She modestly replied. -

-It's the truth. - Penelope agreed. - You can tell that you have learned a lot during the trip. And I'm sure that, with your great talent for research, you'll make things go very well at Bios.

-Same goes to you. - She was surprised, looking with an inquisitive gesture at her hitherto boss. -

-Well, I will return to Earth. I have to go back; Professor Tomoe has offered me a new position. -Penelope told her. -

-Yes, we need Penelope there. - He said, not looking of wanting to go into detail. -

Even without having to use her gifts, Sandy could see that there were things that none of her interlocutors were willing to tell them. So, she simply commented, with genuine regret.

-We will miss you very much.

-It's true. - Amethyst added. - We have been a great team.

-Well, with you, Satory and Sandy, progress on this planet is guaranteed.

So, they said goodbye to Penelope and the doctor. After giving them regards for the family and friends they had on Earth. Then it was the turn of Amethyst and Leval.

-Surely when we return from our honeymoon Bios will be wonderful. -The young officer said. -

-Don't be in such a hurry. Terraforming is time-consuming. - Sandy reminded him. -

-Leval is very impatient. - Amethyst laughed at that, hugging her husband. -

-Look who is talking! - He exclaimed comically, making Sandy laugh too. -

-I wish you a wonderful honeymoon. - The brunette girl told them. -

That's how they said goodbye. Soon Amethyst and Leval were going on a honeymoon trip to Earth. The girl hoped they would return shortly. She really wanted to see them.

-I hope you had a great time! I already want to spend some time with that crazy French girl one again. - She smiled, thinking about Amethyst.- This has not been the same without her. Anyway, she has already had to go back. Well, as soon as I can, I will try to call her to tell me some gossip.

Although something took her out of those thoughts. At that instant she perceived something strange. She looked through her scuba, she could see that desert landscape still dotted with some recently transplanted trees and blocks of vegetation and a couple of shelters built in concrete and other radiation-resistant materials. But what startled her was hearing a woman's voice behind her back that sounded as if her owner was there without any protection.

-Hello, funny creature! What are you doing? Can I play?

Sandy turned watching stunned a mulatto woman with oriental features, with long wavy hair, and much shorter than her, smile at her with her hands behind her back and look at her in turn.

-Who are you? - She wanted to know visibly worried and quickly warned her. – You should not leave without protection. Please, return to the shelter right away. – She indicated taking her for some clueless member of the expedition who had left a barracks. – It is dangerous to stay here.

-I want to play too. - That woman who seemed not to pay any attention to her words, repeated. – Come on!...

-You should take shelter, fast! – She was asked by her interlocutor now with visible concern, if that woman continued there a few more minutes the radiation could kill her. – Look, right there you have a shelter. – Sandy indicated turning for a few moments to point out the prefabricated block closest to her position. – Run to protect yourself...

But when she looked back at that girl, she had disappeared. Sandy was puzzled, she hadn't felt anything. Where could she have gotten into?

-Control- She called her colleagues at the base asking with a clear alarm tone. - Has anyone been out in the last ten minutes?

-No, no one has come out here. You are alone in the entire quadrant. – It was the answer of her colleagues who wanted to know in turn. - Why do you ask, doctor?

-For nothing. Don't worry, then I'm back.

The girl sighed. Maybe that wouldn't have happened. What if it was a hallucination? she had to get out of there. Despite the suit and her resistance, it was true that she had been exposed for a long time. That, despite her extraordinary abilities, could have begun to affect her. It could be much more resistant to extreme conditions than an ordinary human, but it was far from being invulnerable. So, without delay, she went into one of the shelters trying to clarify her ideas.

-It must have been that. That radiation was starting to affect me. I'll must take some tests. When I come back, I will go to see Giaal. - She said trying to downplay that. -

Meanwhile on Earth, the future Crystal Sovereign Tokyo woke up. She looked at the clock as usual, with that apprehension of being late. However, on this occasion, the alarm had not sounded.

-I think I must have dreamed something, but I don't remember well what.

-What's going on, honey? - Mamoru wanted to know that he had woken up in turn and was hugging her from behind. - Any of those nightmares?

-No, not this time. To tell the truth, I don't remember anything. - Her wife told him.-

- It's still early. Your parents won't arrive until noon. – He commented, believing that his wife's efforts were due to that. -

-My parents? - She exclaimed with surprise and alarm. -

- Sure. - Mamoru was surprised and reminded her. - Don't you remember, Usako? Papa Kenji and Mom Ikuko, along with Shingo, are coming to visit us. They were very happy that you finished your studies so well and that you found a job.

-Oh, my God! – The young woman exclaimed, putting her hands to her face to the astonishment of her interlocutor. - I didn't even remember...

And it is that during all those years working for the peace of the world and forging alliances with beings from other planets, in addition to fighting against the forces of evil, Usagi had also been carving out a more mundane future. As Serenity, she knew she would be destined to be the queen of Neo Crystal Tokyo and the White Moon one day. However, that could take a long time still. Therefore, after graduating in politics and sociology, she did some of those postgraduate masters as her husband recommended. She had recently finished an international relation course and she sought for employment. Having a good curriculum and the unconditional support of many land agencies and governments, it was not difficult for her to find work. In fact, it was her friend and ally Ian Masters who hired her to work at one of his subsidiaries in Japan. Things couldn't be better; the headquarters were in Tokyo, near the hospital where her husband, Dr. Chiba Mamoru, worked. That left them a lot of time to see each other and devote their efforts mostly to their true mission. She could contact her friends and allies in her office and continue to develop strategies for the defense of the Earth. However, she liked that other life as Usagi Tsukino. Well, now rather Mrs. Usagi Chiba. Now, dressed in a blazer and carrying a briefcase, she looked as just any more sophisticated businesswoman. And today she had a meeting to study a campaign of investments in scholarships and aid to Third World communities. What she hadn't remembered at all was the conversation she had with her parents and brother a week ago! After finishing his studies Shingo had returned from the United States and he was already thinking about marrying his girlfriend, a young woman from Yokohama whom he had met more than three years ago.

-We had agreed to see each other and that I was going to tell them how I was doing at work. - She sighed now. - And I didn't even stop to think that I would have a meeting...

-Don't hurry. They will understand. We can meet them later. Look, we'll do the following. - Mamoru proposed. - I will receive them and we will take a walk to your work. We will wait for you there. So, when you finish your business meeting, you can meet with us.

The girl smiled gratefully. Good thing Mamo-Chan always had solutions for everything! She kissed him on the lips and claimed.

-You are a genius! Well, we'd better get up. I would like to have a good breakfast and arrive early for a change...

He agreed on that. That's when her special communicator rang out. Usagi answered to the call without imagining that, as a result, her plans would be significantly altered...
