Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3605132/8/"Why have you never mentioned this to us before?" Makoto asked.
"It doesn't affect Crystal Tokyo and you've never asked."
"I have a hard time seeing how this doesn't affect Crystal Tokyo," Rei said. "Wouldn't one of the Maidens, with all the seeds, rival Usagi in power?"
"She'd be exactly as powerful," Setsuna replied, "but they have no desire to rule except possibly as a game to play for a day or so and like many groups of such power, they'll simply gather everyone they love together and move to another plane of existence when the Great Freeze comes. "
"There are a lot of groups that powerful?" Haruka asked in shock.
"Many, but power doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things without will. We wish to preserve the last city on Earth and create an empire of peace and prosperity once the Earth awakens again. Those with enough power to interfere have no reason or desire to do so. They'll simply take those that wish to go with them and leave."
"They'll get the people that crave adventure and excitement, leaving us with…" Ami trailed off.
"Those that crave none of the above and would just like peaceful lives."
"The whole cleansing thing?" Usagi asked.
"It's really just a metaphor, what you actually do is fix and repair the DNA of everyone left, giving them perfect health and lifespans measuring eons."
"And the exiles?" Michiru asked.
"Jerks who piss off the people around them enough to request they be exiled," Setsuna explained. "Crystal Tokyo has room and freedom enough for everyone, but some people aren't happy unless they are making others miserable."
"The meek shall inherit the Earth because the strong have split to go party," Minako said.
Everyone frowned, but Setsuna laughed. "By the time it rolls around you'll be more than ready for a society without adventures and rule breakers where people are genuinely kind to each other and enjoy seeing others succeed."
