Blazing Bright! The Blazing Rebirth of The Solar System




        Usagi stood there for the longest time, keeping her lips pressed against Mamoru's and breathing softly as she closed her eyes. Lost in the moment, she felt as if the rest of the world disappeared, leaving only her and her lover to stand there on the bridge. The blonde mare gave out a soft moan as she deepened the kiss, too afraid of breaking away and finding that this was just a dream. 

        After a few moments, for Usagi way too short of a time, Mamoru finally broke the kiss between the two of them. Usagi turned her blue eyes up at her lover, unsure whether to slap him for keeping hidden for so long or to have another round of kissing. She decided the best thing for her at that moment, was to lean in close to the black stallion, nuzzling his neck, “Where have you been? I thought you didn’t come here with us.”

        Mamoru returned the nuzzle, leaning in close to her, “I’m sorry Usako, but I was doing something else and I didn’t get a chance to see you till now.”

        “What were you doing?” Usagi asked.

        “I think I arrived at the same time you did, just outside a particular forest,” Mamo-chan explained, “I was about to go and hunt for you and the others when... I felt something strange, something from the forest. I figured I should investigate and see what was going on. It took me finding about that harpy before I started to figure out what it is.”

        A sad sigh came out of Usagi’s mouth, “ You think it’s the Dark Kingdom?”

        “I’m not sure, it just feels like there is something else here. Like it is just using what caused that monster to pop up as just a cover,” Mamoru said, before looking down at Usagi to see her head down, “Are you alright, Usako?”

        Usagi calmly nodded her head, “Yeah, I’m fine. I’m just glad that you’re here with us. So,” a smile gleamed across the young mare’s face, “Are you still going to search for what is attacking this country.”

        “Yes, I am,” Mamoru said, looking up at the moon, “ I’ll still be looking around to see what I can find and if this is the Dark Kingdom, or see whatever else is behind this. But, I might need a place to stay while I do my searching, someplace close to home.”

        Usagi smiled, “Well, Fluttershy lives in a cottage nearby and doesn’t have a roommate. Maybe you could live with her? I could talk to her and see if she doesn’t mind. Just don’t think of anything naughty while you’re there.”

        “Now, why would I do anything naughty with her, when all of my naughty thoughts are busy with all of the things I can and can’t do with you in this new body,” a seductive smile came to Mamoru as he looked down at his mare.

        Usagi’s face immediately became a bright red as the thoughts of what he could do filled her mind, “Put that under ‘things to dream about later.’ Ok then,” Usagi then looked up at Mamoru, “Just one more thing, promise me that you won’t do anything too reckless and get yourself caught again.”

        With an eyebrow arched in reaction, “When have I ever been captured?”

        A cute and wry smile came  to Usagi as she traced a hoof along Mamarou’s chest, “Well, lets see-you were taken by Beryl and brainwashed, then you were kidnapped by Farore, captured by our own DAUGHTER, you had put yourself in pain to keep said daughter alive, there was that one time on a boat here you were captured by pirates, kidnapped by Dracula, and I think there was one more I forgot.” 

        Mamoru chuckled, “Ok, so maybe I get kidnapped a little. All right,” he then brushed some of Usagi’s mane to the side, “I promise, I’ll try not to get kidnapped this time or try to put myself in a situation where I can get kidnapped.” 

        “See that you don't! Otherwise, I’ll punish you,” Usagi giggled as she put her forehooves in a pose.

        Mamoru chuckled before laying a kiss on the side of Usagi, “I’ll see you later then, Usako.”

        “I’ll see you again, Mamo-chan,” Usagi said, returning the kiss before watching her lover jump off into the trees.

        “WOW! That guy sure knows how to dress!” Pinkie Pie giggled as she popped out from under the bridge, “Doesn’t he get warm with that cape?”

        Usagi jumped up in the air at the sudden appearance of the pink mare, “How did you, when did you?”

        “Well, I used some sugar pine sap to keep my hooves stuck to the bottom of the bridge and I came in when you guys were getting all mushy and stuff,” Pinkie said as she stood next to her friend, “So... was that your colt friend?”

        “Yes, he was,” Usagi smiled, “ I am glad that he came here too.”

        “Great! Tell you the truth, for a little while you were getting all mopey and sad about everything that was going down and I thought you might need the extra powerful, ‘immediate and permanent cheer-up cupcake’ to pull you out of it,” Pinkie giggled as she put a hoof around Usagi’s shoulder, “Now, how about you and I go and have a ‘I just refound my coltfriend and now am ready to face the world’ party!” 

        With a happy nod, Usagi followed her friend to the corner and to have a big celebration for both her friends and the return of her colt.





        The next morning, 9 equines stood at the train station and awaited the arrival of both the train and two other members of their group, “I don’t understand this,” Twilight said, walking around the platform with a checklist in front of her, “Pinkie is never this late! And where is Usagi? Didn’t we all agree to meet here at 10:00?”

        Rei rolled her eyes,”Pinkie may never be this late, but Usagi...”

        Dash looked at the clock, seeing that it read 10:01, and smirked “Ah, don’t worry about it Twi! It’s only 1 minute past 10:00.”

        “ONLY A MINUTE? We have a gotten a summons from Celestia herself, expecting us to be there on time and we are a minute late and all you can say is that ‘ITS ONLY A MINUTE!’” screamed Twilight.

        “Twilight, dear,” Rarity said, bringing out a comb to tone down Twilight slightly frazzled mane, “If you keep this up, your mane is going to end up looking like a porcupine.”

        As the bearers of the elements continued with their discussion, Rei stood by the door looking out at the distance of the town, “ Of course she’s late,” she grumbled under her breath.

        Makoto let out a small chuckle, “I guess somethings never change, even when you’re in a completely different world.”

        “Tough, what could make Usagi late? I thought she was ready to go?” Ami asked as she then heard a distant yelling coming closer.

        “OH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGODDDDDDDDDDDDD I’MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LATTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!” Screamed Usagi as she dashed through the town and to where her friends were waiting, Pinkie Pie trailing behind her while holding onto the white mare’s pigtails, “I am so sorry I’m late guys, I was really busy partying with Pinkie last night and I forgot to set the alarm and...”

        Rei only let out a sigh as if to say ‘typical’, Minako on the other hand, took a close look at Usagi’s features, “What had you so happy that you... you found Mamoru didn’t you?” 

        With a cheerful nod, Usag responded, “YES!”

        “Oh, Usagi, I’m so happy for you,” Ami smiled, walking over to her friend and giving her a tight hug. 

        Usagi returned the embrace, feeling as if her world was becoming more and complete as she heard Twilight say, “Ok, now that we’re all together, let’s make out way to Canterlot. I don’t want to keep the princess waiting anymore.”

        The other girls nodded in response and walked onto the train, not knowing of a small black bird watching them silently. With a caw, it flew off into the distance, landing on the shoulder of a wandering Minotaur and silently pecking his shoulder, “Go to Canterlot, destroy the city, steal the Silver Millenium Crystal, and kill the senshi.”

        “NO I WON’T” screamed Weak Will as he felt his body begin to distort, transform and mutate, his features becoming far more monstrous, and his body larger. His will gone, he turned to the mountain where Canterlot stood and growled lowly.






        As the girls got off the train, the senshi we left in awe at all of the surrounding, “Oh my goodness,” Ami exclaimed, “It’s fantastic!”

        “This place place is so cool,” Makoto said, in awe by the architecture of the buildings.

        “Almost like the middle ages,” Ami responded as she walked alongside her friends. “Just look at the architecture.”

        “Oh, I can’t wait to see some of these places, this is going to be so cool!” Usagi shouted as she jumped along with Pinkie, taking it all in until Twilight interrupted with a cough.

        “As much I am glad to see that you are all excited to visit the capital, let’s not forget why we’re here,” Twilight said, walking ahead of the party. “The princess requested us to be at the palace today and I DON’T want to keep her waiting any longer than we have to.”

        The senshi could only nod in sadness and let out a regretful sigh. Turning towards the castle, they began to walk but were soon interrupted by the panic screaming of nearby ponies, “EEEEEE! Monster Minotaur!”

        “Get the Guards!”

        “WHAT CAN THEY DO?”

        “They can be out meat shields while we run away to somewhere safe!”

        “Good IDEA!”

        “Well, that’s not very nice to say.” Fluttershy said in defence of the guards.

        “Monster Minotaur?” Asked Rainbow Dash as she turned her head towards the sound of fighting and rumbling.

        “I think they mean, whatever is causing that!” Twilight yelled, pointing to the destruction in the distance. Partly wanting to investigate, and partly because she didn’t want anypony to get hurt, she looked to her friends, “Applejack, Pinkie, you two are some of the fastest, I want you two to help get some of the ponies away from that area. Fluttershy, Rarity, find some shelter and lead the ponies there. Rainbow, you’re with me! Usagi, you and your friends should,” Twilight stopped and smiled as she watched the bright white light coming from a near by alleyway. Turning quickly, she and her rainbow maned friend ran off towards the destruction.

        Hidden from the sight of the 11 mares, three ponies watched the scene from within a small coffee shop. Turning to one another, they quietly nodded and slowly got up from their table to run off into a nearby alley. Once they were well hidden, they carefully slid out three small sticks.





        “THIS WOULD BE A LOT EASIER IF YOU FLEW!” Dash yelled at Makoto, who seemed intent on not flying, ever.

        “I don’t need to, I’m fast enough without it,” Makato grumbled in response. 

        As the 7 ponies arrived at the scene where the minotaur was, they watched in shock and horror as he picked up a pony and drained her energy through its eyes, “HEY! Monster!” Screamed Dash.

        The monster let out a low growl as he turned to the source of the noise, throwing the almost dead pony to the side. Lifting up his large mace, he let out a roar.

        “I don’t know what you are thinking of doing here, but I won’t stand for it! You leave these ponies alone you, you large bull!” Usagi yelled.

        Ignoring the command from the senshi, the large monster began to step slowly forward, only to feel himself beginning to trip on a lasso. Growling he looked down to see an orange mare running in between his legs with her lasso tied to a lamppost. Before he had time to react, another lasso wrapped around his neck, “LOVE-ME CHAIN!” Yelled Minako and she pulled him down.

        As the beast tumbled forward, Rainbow Dash flew under his chin and delivered a hard uppercut to him. Flying away, Dash smirked as she watched the monster crash to the ground. The monster then flipped onto his back and slammed his fist to the ground, making it shake hard and jostling the 8 mares. With this distraction at his side, the monster quickly got back up to his feet and let out a growl. Raising his mace, he readied a slam to the ground; however, he was stopped by a frozen wave of water hitting his eyes and blinding him. He then felt a cannon ball hitting his stomach hard, “BOOM!” Shouted Pinkie as she arrived to the battlefield with the other bearers in tow.

        Becoming more annoyed by these upstarts, the monster let out a roar and raised his mace to slam it into the ground. Bracing themselves, the girls began to anticipate the attack, but instead heard three distinct shouts, “WORLD SHAKING!” A large golden energy ball flew forth from atop a building.

        “DEEP SUBMERGE!” A blue orb of watery energy flew from the same rooftop, joining its friend.

        “Dead Scream,” a whisper, almost as powerful as a shout was also heard followed by a purple energy blast that joined its other friends and stuck the monster hard in the stomach, simultaneously.

        “Those attacks,” Usagi said with a smile as she turned her head upwards.

        “Guided by the new era, I am Sailor Uranus appearing magnificently,” a yellow pegasus with a short cut mane said, her light blue sailor fuku blowing in the breeze.

        “Also guided by the new era, I am Sailor Neptune appearing beautifully,” a sea green earth pony said, standing back to back with the yellow pegasus.

        “Sent here by the future era, I am Sailor Pluto appearing regaly,”  a dark purple unicorn said, dressed in a similar fashion as her two companions,at her side was a very large staff with an orb at the top.

        “Uranus, Neptune, Pluto!” Usagi exclaimed as the three girls leapt from the roof and down to where the 11 mares stood.

        “It’s been a while, kitten,” the pegasus, Uranus, teased. A smile formed on her lips as she tucked the unicorn’s chin.

        Ami smiled softly at the three mares, “When did you girls get here?”

        “I think it would be around the same time you 5 did, me and Haruka just met up with Setsuna,” Michiru said.

        Before Haruka could ask a few questions, the senshi and bearers heard a large roar from behind them. Turning around they watched as the creature struggled to get up once more and got ready for another fight. However, that is when they heard a soft voice coming from behind the minotaur, “Uh, excuse me.”

        “HUH?” The monster questioned as he turned to face a small purple earth filly.



        The monster let out a small chuckle as he lifted up his mace and slammed it towards the small filly.

        “Shame, I did warn you after all,” the small filly said as she held up her pen, “SATURN PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!!” As she yelled this, a large dark purple dome covered her in a similar vein as the senshi. As the dome glowed and shimmered, the dark purple lightning surged forth from the dome, though unlike the senshi’s lightning, hers seemed to be taking from the land and causing it to wither and decay around her.  As the monster’s mace neared her, the dome faded away and left behind the small filly dressed in a sailor fuku with a very large staff with a curved blade at the end. Holding the glave in her mouth, she lifted up above her head and said emotionlessly, “Silence wall.” 

        The monster let out a grunt of shock and pain as the glave generated a black shield to cover the filly. This field then pushed back the minotaur, leaving him to moan in pain while the filly looked up at the monster, her face still unfeeling and almost emotionless, save for a cruel smirk, “Silence Glaive, Surprise,” she said, putting her glave to the side and doing an upward slash, leaving a huge gash in the monster and destroying the club in one swipe. As she landed behind the monster, he turned slowly back into a normal albeit badly hurt and confused minotaur. 

        Looking up at the 14 ponies before her, her emotionless look and horrifying smirk turned into a smile of pure happiness. Tears came to her eyes as she ran to the three newly arrived senshi, “HARUKA-PAPA, MICHIRU-MAMA, SETSUNA-MAMA!”

        “HOTARU!” Cried the three mares as they walked over to the running little filly and hugged her tightly.

        “My little girl, you’re all right!” Haruka said, nuzzling Hotaru, smiling.
        “I don’t care where you’ve been, I’m just glad to have you here,” Michiru said, holding the little filly.

        “Welcome home,” Setsuna said, smiling.

        “MAMA, PAPA?” Asked the mane 6 as the senshi demorphed.

        “Yeah,” Haruka said, ruffling the black mane of the little filly. “Hotaru here is our little adopted daughter.”

        “Oh, I get it,” Dash said, trying her best to hide her attraction to Haruka. The mane six all nodded in understanding, after all there were plenty of lesbian couples with adopted children back in Ponyville.

        Usagi smiled, “Girls, these are my other friends, Haruka Tenoh, Michiru Kaioh, Setsuna Meioh, and Hotaru Tomoe.”

        “Makes sense, there are nine planets, there should be nine senshi,” Twilight thought to herself.

        “Usagi, is Small Lady here as well?” Setsuna asked Usagi.

        “No, I haven’t-”before she could finish, however, she was interrupted by a large shout.

        “ALL RIGHT YOU 15! FREEZE! ALL OF YOU STAND AT ATTENTION!” Shouted a white unicorn stallion with a blue mane as he walked towards the ponies.

        “Great, cops,” Minako said, rolling her eyes in disgust.

        “Now, most of you I do not know or even met,” the white stallion said, his golden armor shining in the sunlight. “The rest of you, however! I do know and have met before,” he said walking to the six bearers of harmony, “and some of you look like troublemakers. ESPECIALLY YOU!” He said, pointing a white hoof at Twilight and glaring at her. “I can tell right now that you are the pony who thinks she’s pretty dang smart!”

        “Well, just a little,” Twilight said, smiling a little and trying not to laugh.

        “I bet you think that you are pretty dang special, that you are just clever,” the unicorn said, looking into her eyes.

        “Well, I try not to,” Twilight said, only to get interrupted by the stallion.

        “I bet you think that you’re the best little sister in the world,” the stallion said, his gruff exterior now replaced with a gentle and caring smile.

        “You tell me, BBBFF,” Twilight said, smiling as she gave the stallion a big hug.

        “Yeah, you kind of are Twily,” Shining said as he hugged Twilight back.

        “Usagi and friends, this is Shining Armor. He’s my big brother,” Twilight said, turning to face the senshi.

        “Oh, I know who he is,” Hotaru said, smiling. “Armor-Niisan and Cadence-Nechan helped to take care of me and kept me safe while I was looking for you.”

        “Well, actually Cadence did more of the caring, I just mainly played with her and kept her entertained,” Shining said, rubbing the back of his head nervously, “So I take it that these are your parents?”

        Hotaru nodded happily, “Yep! Thank you so much for helping me.”

        “Hey, it was no problem,” Shining said before looking at his sister and her friends, “Now, let get all of girls to the palace. Celestia and Luna have been waiting for you and are quite excited to see you. Luna is especially ready to see you again, ‘mam.”

        “Me? But I’ve never been here before, how could she know me?” Usagi asked.

        “I don't know, the princess just told me that she was excited to see ‘moon-buns’ again, and you are the only one here with hair that looks like buns, so I figured she is waiting to see you.” Shining said as he lead the 15 ponies down the streets and towards the castle.
