Chapter 1: Final Battle

The wind howled as Princess Serena stood face to face with the evil Queen Beryl... One by one, she'd watched helplessly as the sailer scouts were captured until she was the only one left... Prince Darian was nothing more then a pathetic puppet, ready and willing to do anything and everything the queen asked him to...

"Oh... What's the matter?!" Queen Beryl crooned mockingly, " Is poor little princess Serena scared of her magnificent Queen?!"

" I do not fear you... I fear for my friends... And my prince... " Serena said in tears...

"Do you wish to see your friends and prince again unharmed?!" Queen Beryl hissed.

"Yes... I will do... Anything you ask... Please... Just do not hurt them!" Serena cried...

"Prince Darian... Once you do this task, I will release you from your servitude my darling prince... " Queen Beryl crooned batting her lashes.

" What will you have me do... My queen?" Prince Darian asked.

" Kill princess Serena... " Queen Beryl ordered...

"As you wish... My Queen... "

Prince Darian took the sword and walked towards Serena without hesitation...

'No my daughter!' Queen Serenity cried in Serena's mind, 'If prince Darian stabs you, your bond with each other will be forever broken! You will never be able to love him again!'

"I'm sorry mother... But it is a sacrifice I am willing to make... To save the lives of my friends and family... " Serena said closing her eyes... "I love you... Mother... I love you Darian... "

At the last moment as a last act of pure cruelty, Queen Beryl summoned the sailer scouts and they appeared in chains...

"Now sailer scouts... Witness the sacrifice your precious princess is willing to make to save your pathetic lives... Do it prince Darian! " Queen Beryl hissed.

"No!" Sailer Mars cried.

"Don't do it!" Sailer Mercury cried.

"Please your highness! Fight her your stronger then this!" Sailer Jupiter cried out...

"Please prince Darian, you love her!" Sailer Venus cried.

Prince Darian stopped, his mind in inner turmoil as he fought against Queen Beryl's mind control powers... Queen Beryl smiled and walked over to prince Darian, slowly and seductively putting her arms around his neck... Of course she didn't love him, she just loved having a handsome slave come whenever she called him... Queen Beryl looked at him and smiled and he suddenly grabbed her and kissed her passionately, unaware that his actions would break the bond he and Serena shared for all eternity, leaving it irreparable... After sharing a passionate kiss with the queen, prince Darian turned towards Serena... Serena gasped when she realized that his eyes were black... Prince Darian raised his sword and Serena closed her eyes as the cold steel of the sword whistled through the air... Serena gasped and cried out in excruciating pain as she looked down at the sword in her stomach... The spell suddenly broken, Darian looked in horror as his precious Serena crumpled to the ground... Darian rushed forward to embrace her, but Serena used her powers to throw him back...

"Serena!" Darian gasped, " I'm sorry!"

"How could you?!" Serena gasped accusingly, " I thought you loved me!"

"I do!" Darian cried.

"Princess Serena!" Sailor Mars cried, "Queen Beryl had him under her spell! He couldn't help it!"

"Oh, that is where your wrong my dear Sailer Mars!" Queen Beryl hissed gleefully, "Darian was released from my spell before he stabbed your precious Princess! "

"How could you?!" Sailor Jupiter cried angrily...

Darian couldn't speak...

'How could I let the power go to my head?!' Darian thought in despair...

"Serena... " Darian choked out.

A single tear slid down Serena's cheek as the light went out in her eyes... Queen Serenity watched in despair as her daughter died before her eyes and with a heavy heart, called her power to her...

"Please, hear my prayers! Change my daughter's fate... Let her have a second chance at life and love, even if this time, it does not include prince Darian of earth... " Queen Serenity prayer, "By the power of all that is good and pure... "

A blinding light flashed and much like what happened so many centuries ago in the moon kingdom, Serena and all of her friends were transported safely to earth along with all they're memories...

"Stay safe... My dearest daughter... " Queen Serenity said, before eternity of sleep claimed her...
