"What happened?" Pyrite questioned the four other guardians.

"You've been asleep for 1000 years Pyrite." Katie told her as they smiled at her in
happiness. Finally, Pyrite was awakened.

"After the battle you fell into cyrogenetic state. We came to wake you up." Eva
added as she covered her mouth and her blue eyes twinkled happily. 

Pyrite sat up and looked at them, her gaze finally settling on Kari. Kari's 
expression was that of happiness, joy, and unshed tears. Her pink eyes were brimming
with tears as Pyrite spoke, "My Kari. I missed you so."

"Oh Death-sama!" Kari cried out as she launched herself into her betrothed's arms. 
"I don't know how I lived without you. I missed you so!"

Pyrite smiled as she rubbed Kari's back. "And you my love, I don't know how I 
beared the millenia without you." She stood up finally and said, "Now, I want to 
know everything."

After a lengthy conversation, Pyrite and the other guardians joined the senshi.
Usagi noticed the differences almost immediately between Pyrite and herself. Pyrite
was much older, even than Haruka and Michiru. She wore a serious expression all the
time and it only softened when Kari spoke to her. Usagi couldn't help but compare
herself to the older guardian. Pyrite was much wiser than her and she did not know
very much at all.

"Stop it." Pyrite ordered her.

The senshi and the guardians looked at her in amazement. "Stop what?" Usagi 
questioned her.

"Comparing us. Stop comparing yourself to me. It is annoying and it is something that
is not needed. You are a good leader in your own right."

Usagi smiled, "Thank you."

"Now, I believe it is time to get off Crystalia and teleport to Earth. If Mera is 
looking for a fight, then let her have one."

And with that said, the senshi and the guardians stood in a circle and called upon
their powers to teleport to Earth.

"What!!" Mera screamed at Ruka and Aki. A shot of lightning crackled through the
air and hit the two, causing them to scream and writhe in pain. "You've failed me!
The both of you! How could you let them wake Death?!"

"Please Lady Mera, let us prove ourselves!" Ruka screamed through her torture.

"Yes, my lady..." Aki agreed.

Mera cut off the lightning, leaving the two to regain their composure. "Very well.
I will let you keep your lives...for now."

Galaxy leapt up at Pyrite. She rubbed his furry head as she wrapped her free arm
around his shoulders. "My princess." He said to her. "It has been too long."

"I know Galaxy. We must celebrate later though." Pyrite paused in thought. "I need
to get acquainted with this planet."

Galaxy leapt from her body and walked beside her. "You need new clothes Pyrite. This planet is different than Crystalia."

"I know this Galaxy. I need to rest for a while." Pyrite turned to her group and
said, "Do you think you can buy me some clothes?"

Eva smiled, "Of course. Until then you can borrow my clothes."

Pyrite joined Kari who was at a distance from the others. "Why are you so far away?"

She turned to her lover. "Oh Death-sama. I thought I would never see you again.
I spent all my life dreaming of you and never realizing that you were what was 
missing from my life."

Pyrite smiled softly at the younger girl and took her into her arms. Kari pressed
her head into the other girl's chest, knowing now that she was safe and warm and 
that her intended was with her. "I love you and only you. Nothing could separate
us from each other. Nothing."

Usagi couldn't help but watch and smile at the older guardians. They seemed happier
now that they were together. She felt that way when Mamoru and her were together.

"I want to thank you." Pyrite said as she turned to the senshi of the Earth. "You
helped us when you didn't have to and I appreciate it. You are truly friends of
Crystalia and the Mistics. After I get settled, I will explain more about Mera, 
until then, I bid you thank you and farewell."

"You are very welcome." Usagi replied.

Pyrite nodded then followed Katie to her apartment as she wrapped an arm around her
partner and smiled at her. Kari beamed back as she followed Pyrite.
