=============================================
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Orion
An original fanfic by LeVar Bouyer
Episode 419: Sayonara at the End of the Dance
=============================================


Two short tones sounded in headquarters. The assembled techs were
completely silent.

"All entrances secure," Vanessa said finally. "Valhalla is
sealed." A second clock still ticked down the time until the base
completely flooded. Three hours after that, they were to reopen the
doors.

"Guys," said Sammy, "I've confirmed that it was America's
communicator down there." It hardly mattered now, but there was a tiny
bit of solace in knowing Orion wouldn't have to die alone.

"What do we do?" asked a lieutenant (j.g.) from communications.
"Should I contact search and rescue to-"

"Sailor Orion's last order was not to open the entrances before
the three hours were up, no matter what the reason." Kim seemed
resigned to the fate of the senshi, yet determined to honor their
commander's final request. "We will follow that order to the letter, is
that clear?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good. Contact Cassiopeia and request instructions. Until we get
word from them, we'll maintain alert status and allow damage crews to
get to the affected areas." She sat down, thoroughly disliking this
side of being in command.

There came a chorus of "aye-ayes", but she knew them to be less
confident and enthusiastic as they might have been if one of the senshi
had given it.

For the thousandth time she wished her commanders were still here.

***[title sequence]***

Sailor Orion looked at the one named Afibo with murder in her
eyes. The alien held Sailor America as a shield while the brunette
continued to struggle.

All could hear the sound of water rushing two levels below.

"Last warning," said Orion, her voice barely under control.
"Release Sailor America and come with me peacefully, and I guarantee in
the name of Her Majesty Neo-Queen Serenity the Second, you will be
treated fairly.

"Refuse, and you'll die." A pause. "Your call."

"Our race is dead already," spat Afibo. "What you haven't killed
you've captured, and we do not choose to linger long in captivity." He
fixed a cold glare at the senshi with the green skirt. "Yes, I will
die, and I'll make sure you die with me."

Orion bowed her head ever so slightly, and her glasses turned
opaque with the reflection from the overhead lights. She drew Kedalion
to a ready position. "Let her go, damn you!"

"No."

"Kyaaa!" She charged, sword raised. Afibo raised an arm to parry
the sword blow, but Orion had anticipated that. She tossed Kedalion
aside to imbed itself in the wall. Taking the outstretched arm, she
swung the alien around while delivering a solid shoulder check. Afibo
was knocked off balance, but to Orion's dismay retained his grasp on
America. Both fell to the ground, the brunette unintentionally
cushioning the alien's fall. America grunted from the crushing weight.

Orion wasn't finished yet. With an inarticulate shout of rage,
she kicked Afibo savagely in the midsection. Then again, and again, not
feeling any pain through her green boots. Finally, she composed herself
enough to fashion the words.

"Get off her, you thrice-damned bastard!"

He finally rolled over, but still kept an iron grip on Sailor
America. Both tumbled down the hallway as Orion ran over to grab
Kedalion and stalk after them. The alien crashed into a wall and Sailor
Orion took advantage. Two powerful kicks to the head should have killed
the being, but Afibo seemed unfazed.

America, for her part, was still looking for a way out. All her
struggles to break free from the alien's grip had failed so far, and her
attempts were growing increasingly desperate.

This would be the most desperate yet. She was counting on
something all senshi were taught from day one *not* to count on, yet had
sustained them for thousands of years.

Luck.

Without the arm motions to use as a focus, having only the
concentration of her own mind to guide and direct it, she uttered her
attack phrase.

"America Stars and Stripes!"

Orion barely had enough time to realize what was going on when she
shut her eyes and began to turn away. Even then, she could see bright
outlines through her closed eyelids when the attack fired. In other
circumstances she would have been impressed: Sailor America had managed
to use her power at a low enough level that she didn't burn herself or
anyone else in the hall. All it did was effectively blind Afibo.

He stumbled, in the process letting go of Sailor America. She
wasted no time in getting away from him, leaving Orion to face down the
staggering alien.

The redhead stood at her full height. "Her Majesty believes in
forgiveness. You have one last chance: surrender."

Afibo reached inside his robes. Orion, fearing the worse,
automatically assumed he was reaching for a weapon. She acted
accordingly.

With hardly a thought, she swung her sword high, detaching Afibo's
head from his body with a simple, sickening swish. The headless corpse
dropped to the ground without a sound, blood instantly forming a puddle
on the metal floor.

A puddle rapidly being diluted by water.

"C'mon Jen, this level's flooding too!" Not giving Orion any time
to consider what she had done, Sailor America grabbed onto Orion's hand
and led her down the hallway and towards a stairway.

The two raced up four levels, then paused. Valhalla had never
been a very deep base, and they were almost at the top level, which was
separated from the surface by four meters of rock, topsoil, some token
armor plating...and, of course, all the basements and subbasements and
garages and subways and utility tunnels of Nagano-2.

It was terribly depressing to think that those four meters
prevented them from avoiding death by drowning.

Sailor America would not be defeated. "American Stars and
Stripes!" she called again and again, each time blasting through a bit
more of the barrier. The water was pooling around their knees when
Orion drew her sword a final time and struck at the ceiling.

Then the gray light of day broke through, and they were out.

***

Three days later.

"The last prisoners...er, defectors, have been transferred,
Orion," said Sailor Cassiopeia with a hint of relief.

"Understood," said Sailor Orion. She was in the main command
center: the 6th floor room where the latter half of the war had been
planned and thought out. "One question, though?"

"Hai?" Cassiopeia was on the bridge of her ship, Adhura and
Phoenix at her side. After a couple days to sort out the messes left by
the invasion, H.M.S. Kaze was preparing to leave the system. It was due
to be relieved the next day by a larger group of ships carrying needed
supplies. This was essentially good-bye.

"Why have a dozen of the aliens been left here? Especially the
commander, Holbrow...I'd think intelligence would want to question her."

"They do," answered Cassiopeia. "That's why...oh, hi America!"
She waved to the brown haired senshi, who had just stepped into the
control room and moved into range of the visual pickups.

"Sorry I'm late," said Sailor America, brushing back her ponytail.

She made a beeline for her lover. "Had some last minute business to
attend to." She smiled, wrapping her arms around a surprised-looking
Orion and giving her a rather lengthy and passionate kiss.

Sailor Orion could do nothing but respond in kind. The rest of
the control room coughed nervously, or found dust and grime on their
computers to be deserving of particular attention.

On the screen, Sailor Cassiopeia simply grinned. "Nice to see the
Fleet's lovebirds are still together," she said with a wink. Inwardly
she sighed; when was the last time she had made love to her boyfriend?
She really did neglect him...as she had all the boyfriends and
girlfriends she'd been through since she lost Sailor Rigel on the 5th of
April, 3035....

She forced the thoughts from her mind. Let her enjoy the love she
could see between these two. "You know, Fleet regs prohibit public
displays of affection like that," she said with a smile.

The two finally broke off. Sailor America turned to face her
protégé. "Screw the regs," she said cheerfully, reaching down and
giving her lover a last squeeze on the bottom before separating.

"That's what I say," Cassiopeia answered evenly. "Anyway, like I
was saying, Intelligence is coming here. Apparently Holbrow is really
keen on staying on your planet, she wouldn't hear anything about going
to the moon."

"Maybe she's afraid of Serenity."

"Or her mother, more likely," added America. "The present queen
is an unknown quantity to her."

Orion nodded. "Makes sense."

"How are things going down there?" asked Cassiopeia. She hadn't
had much time to check on what the civilian population of Hinansho had
been doing.

"Things are almost back to normal," replied Sailor Orion, leaning
against a computer with America at her side.

Cassiopeia raised an eyebrow. "That depends on what you...oh,
what is it?" she asked, turning to a tech on her bridge who had asked
for her attention.

"Incoming transmission," explained the man. "Type E, from Luna."

Almost in unison, the command staff in Nagano-2 blinked.

"E type is experimental," explained Cassiopeia. "It's a slight
variant of what we used to get our ship here so quickly. Very close to
simultaneity, close to 70% under ideal circumstances." She rubbed her
chin reflectively. "Y'know, I'd bet it's-"

"-her Majesty," finished the first tech. "She...well, she wants
to speak with you."

Everyone in the command room in Nagano-2 looked back at Sailor
Orion.

"Why do you think it has to be me?" she asked, though she knew the
answer. Before anyone else could give it, the image on the main screen
flickered and changed to a surprising sight. They had expected Neo-
Queen Serenity II, and to be fair that was who they got.

They hadn't expected the planet senshi gathered with her, along
with the Queen Mother and her husband.

"I take it that your silence is one of respect?" asked Serenity II
with an ironic smile.

"Well, that is...."

"No need to explain yourself, Orion." There was a long pause;
even this new method of communication involved lag times close to thirty
seconds. Apparently she had waited for a response, but refused to show
any surprise when she didn't get one. "Anyway, I just thought I'd say
hi to you guys, and congratulate you on your impressive showing in the
last few months."

Orion bowed automatically, despite the hundreds of light years
separating them. "We did our best, your Majesty."

"Your best," said Sailor Mercury, "would put many others to shame.

Given your circumstances I have nothing but praise for you, Sailor
America, and the others. Be sure that the rest of us feel the same
way." The others nodded their agreement, even Uranus, who had to be
given a gentle nudge.

"We're particularly impressed by your command staff," added Sailor
Neptune. "They played an excellent role in supporting you throughout
the crisis."

"Th-thank you, sir," stammered Sammy.

"No," said Sailor Venus as she shook her head, "we should thank
*you*. If you hadn't stopped the aliens, they doubtless would have
moved on to Earth, and who can say what they might have done then?"

"We would have sent them packing," Sailor Mars said. Sailor Venus
responded with such a cold look that Mars was forced to make the
amendment, "simply because we had more numbers."

"To get to the point," said Sailor Jupiter, "you three -- Kim
Young, Sammy Porter, and Vanessa Leeds -- are truly deserving of praise,
and we plan to deliver it.

"Effective immediately," said Uranus, "the three of you are
promoted to the rank of commander. H.M.S. Kaze will be leaving in
another week, that should be enough time for you to make preparations."

Sailor Pluto shifted the Time Staff from one hand to the other.
"You've got two dozen captains throughout the Fleet clamoring to get you
assigned to their ships. You're in great demand, and you've earned it."
The senshi of time had been absent quite often in the last few years.
Apparently this occasion was important enough for her to come out of
hiding. "You should be proud."

The three valkyries looked at each other, then at the screen.
Vanessa spoke for them all. "Your Majesty, sirs, we *are* honored,
truly. But we can't accept."

After the time delay, looks of shock rippled through the planet
senshi. "Nani?" asked the Queen, a slight frown on her face. "But...."

"We can't," continued Sammy simply. "Sirs, we've been through
everything with Sailor Orion, and lately with Sailor America too. We
can say without a doubt that they're the best commanders anyone could
ask for. We wouldn't want to serve under anyone else...and if you
transfer us, we'll have to resign." Vanessa and Kim nodded their
agreement.

The Queen Mother reached over to nudge Sailor Mars on the
shoulder. "I *told* you they wouldn't do it," she chided with a grin.
Mars mumbled an incoherent reply.

Sailor Orion noticed none of this. "You...you would really do
that?" she asked incredulously. "This is the chance of a lifetime!"

Sailor America put a gloved hand on her lover's shoulder. "Some
things are worth passing up others for." She leaned up to give Orion a
quick kiss. "Especially you!"

The redhead blushed. "Arigato," she murmured.

"Well then," said Sailor Saturn, "there's no reason to make you do
something you don't want to." Not waiting for approval, she pressed on.
"You're promoted to full commanders anyway. However, you'll remain
assigned to Hinansho for as long as you like."

The valkryries bowed as one. "Arigato!"

"Don't mention it." Neo-Queen Serenity II turned to face the
Nagano-2 senshi. "Keep up the good work. Perhaps we'll meet soon."

"We'll look forward to it," said Sailor America. Sailor Orion
nodded as well.

"Your latest dance with danger is at an end, Sailor Senshi."
Serenity smiled. "Sayonara."

***

Nighttime in the Sakachi/Pearcy household.

Jennifer and Eileen lay wrapped under a blanket in their second-
floor bedroom, an occasional giggle or sigh or moan echoing off the
walls.

Finally, Jen came up for air, Eileen just a moment later. Both
lay panting for a moment, a thin sheen of perspiration covering their
faces.

"We haven't done this in much too long," said Jen breathlessly.

"Saving the world puts a damper on romance, Jennifer," said Eileen
with a smirk.

"A damper, yes." Jen kissed Eileen gently on the nose. "But
nothing can ever truly put it out."

"True." Eileen rolled over to check her clock. 11:53. "So, what
are you doing now that all this is over?"

"Hm...school is out until mid-January, so I'll probably hang
around here for awhile, or at headquarters. Maybe fix up around the
house, do some research...you?"

"I have a three week vacation planned," she said. "Christmas *is*
tomorrow, even if the world has made us forget about it. And I intend
for us to be together for it."

Jen smiled and kissed her lover passionately. "Perfect." She
began to leave a trail of kisses down Eileen's mouth, then her chin,
neck, and between her breasts....

BRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGG!

"Kuso," muttered Jen quietly. "The phone!"

"Sounded awfully like that old alarm clock you had...never mind."
Eileen reluctantly withdrew from her lover's attentions and hit the
receive button on the night-stand, careful to choose voice-only.

"Hello, Eileen Pearcy speaking." She had stubbornly refused to
use the Japanese "Moshi-moshi, Pearcy desu," feeling that she had to
maintain her American identity. Jen felt that Eileen chose odd spots to
pick her battles, but otherwise said nothing.

"Amou...hello, Pearcy-san...is Sakachi-sensei available?"

Eileen choked back a gasp as Jen resumed kissing Eileen's chest.
"No," managed Eileen eventually, "she's very much involved with me at
the moment."

"Will she be available later?"

"Not in this...ohhhh...lifetime."

"Um...what about my thesis? I haven't been able to get in touch
with her about it in awhile, you see, and I just wanted to know if she
could give me some advice."

Jen mumbled something muffled. As a part of Eileen's anatomy was
in her mouth it was hard to make out. Eileen cocked her head and tried
to figure out what Jen had just said.

"I think her advice was for you to go to hell." Jen giggled,
forcing the brunette to chock back yet another gasp. Instead, she said:
"Maybe I heard incorrectly, though."

"M-maybe I should call back another time?"

"Yes," said Eileem amicably. "And once classes start again, you
know her office hours."

"Erm, yes."

"Good. Bye now!" She was all mock-anger as she closed the
connection. "Silly boy."

"Silly girl," teased Jen. "Trying to talk on the phone when your
lover is trying to pleasure you."

Eileen smiled broadly. "What can I say? I'm a born multitasker!"

"Multitask this!" said Jen. Gleefully she hit a switch and turned
out the lights.


***

The two senshi walked out into the snowy Christmas morning. By
mutual unspoken consent they wore their sailor fuku, not noticing the
cold at all.

They strolled along the sidewalk, pausing a moment to admire the
handiwork of a snowman in the front yard of a neighbor, and grinning as
they noticed the fake red hair and blue eyes attached to its face.

"Doesn't look a thing like you," said the first senshi to the
other.

They went on, continuing to a particular point on a hill about
half a kilometer from their home. It overlooked most of the city, but
not all of it; the University and a couple public buildings were north.
But the main three skyscrapers that marked the downtown area could be
seen, easily distinguishable in the pre-dawn mist.

The two senshi sat down, the shorter of the two first making sure
their bench was clear of snow or indeed any wetness. The blackened wood
would probably cause trouble the next day, but that was unimportant.

The two sat in silence for a few minutes. Once the taller looked
at her watch and said something to the shorter, which made both laugh.
Then all was quiet again.

Finally, the event they had waited for had come. Both stood and
watched as the golden yellow sun called Nozomi rose over the horizon of
the city of Nagano-2, on the planet Hinansho...the planet whose very
name was 'sanctuary.'

A beautiful sight, both thought. Neither thought of the sun
glistening off the skyscrapers, or the blinding brilliance as the light
reflected from the new-fallen snow that blanketed the city in a shroud
of purity and serenity.

No, their thoughts were on each other, as each appraised the
other's body with eyes that had seen the sight so many times, and yet
saw it again for the first time on countless mornings like this.

By mutual unspoken consent they detransformed, and while both were
warm, it wasn't because of the heavy coats they now wore. It was
because of the power of something greater than wool and cotton, more
fearsome than the tamed fusion power that lit the thousands of lights in
the city below and the sun that rose to shine its rays upon millions,
something that in fact powered the abilities that allowed them to change
form as easily as one changes her sneakers.

It was the power of love.

"I love you, Jennifer Sakachi."

"Aishiteru, Eileen Pearcy."

The two kissed, the sky turned blue, and the new day began.


===========

Finished: 23:01 10/07/99

Well. What do you say after finishing a work that's spanned two
years and nearly two megabytes of text? I have no idea, but this is
what I think.

I didn't anticipate things lasting this long. Then, very soon
after I finished the first season, I realized that I couldn't imagine
stopping. As soon as fall of 1997, while working on Sailor Moon O,
writing Sailor Orion had become an integral part of my life. Even now I
find it hard to think of what I'll do with my time now that it's over.
I think it will be some time until I feel as motivated to write anything
as I did for this story.

It's near obligatory to say thanks to a few people at the end of
something like this. I'd like to thank anyone who's ever emailed me
regarding it, even if it was something as simple as 'I read it, I liked
it.' I remember pleading for any sort of feedback at all back at the
beginning; that hasn't been a problem since.

I fear that if I listed all the people who've emailed me, one of
two things would happen: a) I'd leave someone out inadvertantly, b) the
list would be too bloody long. Thus, I'll keep it as short as possible.

First, I'd like to thank the #fanfics IRC channel on Undernet. In
existence since the summer of 1998, the collection of authors and
readers there have kept me sane during the last two seasons, which have
no doubt been the toughest and most grueling. To name them all:
Greenbeans (my prereader for the final season and long-time fountain of
advice, who I truly can't thank enough), Vincent Diamante (who doesn't
like the story, and isn't afraid to admit it: that in itself is just as
vital as any praise imo), Devin de Gruyl, Daniel Amsler, Josh Smith,
Michael Borrelli (resident Jen otaku), Corvus (pinch-pre-reader for the
last bit, and one of the most brutally honest people I've met), Rick
Ewing (long-time correspondent), Sean Gaffney (even if he skipped the
last season; he kept me from getting too dark), Kevin Callahan, and John
Hitchens (who now likes Chibiusa. If BSSO has accomplished nothing
else, let it be said that for this reason alone it is a success).

Of course I have to include k-chan, self-proclaimed #1 jeneileen
otaku, and Victor Naqvi, prereader for seasons 1 and 2. Also the
#moonscribe bunch, particularly Devon Smith, J.D. Archer, Joan McDougal,
and Raymond Chuang. The fanartists: Zelig (the first), Elisabeth
Hegerat (by golly, I *know* I got your name right this time), and
Karama. Art was something I had to depend on others for; while I've
managed a single sketch of Jen, I know I have a long way to go until I
meet their level.

There are some others I'd like to mention. Jeff Hosmer and Chris
Davies, for taking my little universe and having their own particular
brand of fun with it, Sailor Skuld of ASMR for putting up with my near-
weekly submissions for the last two years, Matthew Campbell for more or
less inspiring the last arc of season two, Heles MacAnemy for inspiring
210, and to Mark Latus and Andrea Principe, for proving to me that fan-
created senshi don't have to suck. Without that piece of knowledge I'd
never have attempted this work.

So what comes next? For Jen and Eileen...it sounds cliched, but
they live happily ever after. Given the last 10 years they've lived
through I think they've earned it. For me? There are other anime
series out there, other fanfics to be written. None, I think, I'll be
as attached to as I was to this one, but life must go on. Perhaps I
might return to this universe I've created (after all, after putting
this much work into it, it's a shame to just throw it away), but nothing
like the frenetic weekly pace that's so easy and so hard to do at the
same time.

In any case, I've saved one more thank you to you, the reader,
some of whom just started reading a week ago, others who have been with
me since that mid-March afternoon in 1997. I've said before that I
write for my own benefit, and that's true. But it wouldn't be nearly as
enjoyable without knowing that there were others out there who liked my
little yarn.

All I have to say is, wow. As I'm sure many others have said already,
(and I've said it before) I've really enjoyed the series. I'm definatly
sad to see it end once and for all, but All Good Things....

Anyways, I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve next, maybe a
return to those Journal Entries? hehe...

So I'll leave it with this: Thanks for 1.93MB of great reading (SMO

I've enjoyed reading all four seasons and the movie immensely. Maybe

I wish you luck, LeVar-san, and I thank you for creating such a
compelling story and especially for creating the great love between
the fabulous Jennifer Sakachi and wonderful Eileen Pearcy. :)

*applause*

That was truly a fitting ending for an excellent, excellent series. I, for
one, will miss having new episodes of it. But, all things must end sometime.
Thanks, LeVar-san. ^_^

Umm..."phew"? ^_^

Seriously, though, inadequate though this is (but I'm sure the volume of
these you'll be getting will make up for that): Good job. And don't be
suprised when, even years from now, the world continues to refuse to let
you forget that you *did* do a good job.

<snip the rest>

That title is far too appropriate, especially for a Sailor Moon fanfic.

It's too bad that this series has to end, but it's far better that
it end rather than just stop. That's always a bad thing to happen
to a fanfic, and the better the fanfic, the worse it is. I think
you'll recall me warning you during the third season that death
was not an excuse for not getting the next part out on time...

You're right, though: Jen and Eileen have certainly earned that
"happily ever after", so there's no more to be said, is there?
If I'm still around here, I'll definitely look forward to anything
more you may write...
