A short Sailor Moon fanfiction written by Final-Fan:
Be Careful What You Wish For...
Neo Queen Serenity was ready.
This was the moment she had been planning for; if all went well, her dreams would be fulfilled after this day. Crystal Tokyo was about to reach perfection.
Serenity was going to heal the world.
Her people were, and always had been, and always would be who she really cared about. Not her; not an ideal; not anything, except for the people she loved. And she loved everyone.
The effort would leave her powers drained, horribly drained; she would not regain her full strength for almost a hundred years, perhaps more. Serenity didn't care—the sacrifice meant nothing to her if she could do this thing for her people.
Serenity was ready.
She focused her power, and focused the Ginzuisho, and sent her powers out into the world.
And the world was cleansed of all its sins and evils.
* * *
Bacteria cause countless diseases which have taken, ruined, and made miserable thousands of lives; but most bacteria are innocent—and many are indispensible, digesting food and helping the body in other ways. Some elements of the human body were once independent organisms.
And if not for bacteria, the world would drown in its own waste.
Crazy people behave irrationally, many becoming a danger to themselves and others. But many experts say that we are all a little crazy. Many of the greatest minds in human history were considered more than a little crazy, or a least eccentric.
Maybe being just a little crazy is what makes us creative. Maybe it is what makes us alive.
* * *
In the time after the cleansing, Serenity saw that no one killed; no one stole; no one rioted; betrayal, vicious deceit, and violent crime were a thing of the past. No one pulled naughty pranks; no one bullied; there was no injustice or mischief in the world. Things were perfect; life was lifeless.
Neo Queen Serenity looked out the window of her perfect, sterile palace—looked out and saw her perfect, sterile world; and she wept.
And Usagi Tsukino wept for a hundred years and more.
But when the time came to set things right, she was ready.
And Serenity healed the world.

Author's Notes:
Did you notice that the Black Moon Family isn't in this story? Neither is anyone else besides NQS/Usagi, for that matter. That's because this is a short story dealing with a specific idea, and the rest of the world would just get in the way in the author's opinion. Don't worry, it's out there; I just didn't write about it. If you have a problem with this—I'm sorry, but you're just going to have to deal with it.
By the way: would "Ginzuisho crystal" be redundant?
P.S. My sense of humor: Can you guess why Sailor Saturn's favorite music group is Simon & Garfunkel?
