Sailor Moon

Prologue

Usagi sat alone in the park by her home. She was alone, as she had been for so many months now. Her mind turned over itself, as it had so many times now since everything she's come to know changed.

They're all gone. Off to be so successful. Why am I still here?

You're here because you are waiting for something to happen. Something extraordinary.

But what? I am nothing. My broach doesn't work anymore. I don't have the heart to be Sailor Moon anymore. I failed.

You only fail when you give up.

I have given up. Just like all the rest of the scouts did.

They didn't give up, they just wanted a break. Nothing has happened in years. It's been quiet.

Never the less, they should be here now. They shouldn't have left me here all alone. They should still be here laughing with me every day, waiting for the future to come.

You're being selfish.

I am Selfish. I always have been. Mamoru saw it. That's why he left.

He left you because he wanted to see the world without being held down. You were just an anchor to him.

I know this… yet I still want him to love me. What will become of the future now? Will it cease to exist. Without our union, without the sailor scouts, there is no Crystal Tokyo. There is no future.

They'll be back.

It's too late. I don't have anything left… Sailor Moon, The Sailor Scouts, Crystal Tokyo, Chibi-Usa… There isn't anything there… Just an empty shell.

What have I become?

Usagi covered her face in her pale hands. "Who am I…?"
