All right people, this is my first attempt at a crossover fic, so go easy on me. I kill off two characters at least, there may be more... so those of you who hate character death should go on to a different ficcie. There's gonna be a hella lotta angst in the first chapter or so. Lots of Usagi torture, but I'm keeping them in character, so it's necessary.

I couldn't remember or find the real name to the golden crystal, so we're stuck with that ^_^;;; It's only in the prologue anyway. Momo-chan does not ownz Basement Jaxx, Final Fantasy VIII, or Sailor Moon. *Throws boulders at the evil lawyers* Oh ya! The prologue's gonna be a song ficlet. Momo-chan messed with the lyrics a bit, but not by much. It's a repetitive techno song, so I have an excuse. w00t! 13453/V\3|\|7 j4 1200125!!! XD

One more note, Neo Queen Selenity is referred as 'Usako' by Endymon once. As that Chibi-usa is no longer chibi and blonde-ditz-turned-graceful Usagi has become Neo Queen Selenity, 'Chibi-usa' has taken her full title as 'Usagi'. Sorry about the confusion ^_^; I don't have a beta reader....

Prologue, part I; Forever ends

~Crystal Tokyo~

        Neo Queen Selenity-sama...

Your Highness...

Usagi-san...

Odango-atama...

Odango-chan...

Mother...

        MOMMY!

        No matter how many times they pleaded with her, she would not respond, would not eat, and would not sleep. How could she? The only man she had ever loved now lay dying. Throughout the deathly sickness, she had been kept far from him. The senshi were afraid the sight of him would break her. Finally, after the dying man had been pleading to see his beloved wife, the senshi relented.

~I'll tell you how my day has been~

~How the sun has caught my face~

~How I lull myself to sleep~

 ~Weaving shadows on my face~

        His deathly pale visage only increased her assurances that he would not live to see his daughter's next birthday, or her wedding, or his future grandchild. They had already tried chemotherapy, a mass of other treatments and even the Ginzuishou. Nothing could rid the Earth King of cancer. Endymon felt it gnawing away inside of him, the pain growing worse each day. He knew he did not have much time left.

"Selenity..."

"Endymon? Can I get you anything? Are you hungry? Should I go make you some-" Endymon cracked a small smile and chuckled slightly.

"Do you think the chef would let you cook after that Christmas fiasco?" Selenity smiled sadly.

"I suppose not..." She looked at him a few seconds more and a tear slipped down her cheek.

"Oh, Mamo-chan! Why did it have to be you?" She laid her head against his chest and sobbed. Endymon tenderly brushed a rogue tear away with his thumb.

        ~Chasing dreams that just passed by~

~Broken dreams are just too late~

        ~(chasing dreams...)~

~(chasing broken dreams)~

        "Usako, please... Please stop crying..."

 "How?" she murmured.

"Forget me." Selenity gasped and looked up at him.

"W-what?", she managed to squeak out.

"Forget me, Selenity. I'll be gone in a short time. Find someone who can be there for you always."

"Endymon... How can I forget you? You are my one and only.... Why bother with anyone else? They would just die too..." She whispered, her eyes clenched shut.

"Selenity, do you remember your mother from the Silver Millennium?"

"Of course..." She didn't know where he was going with this.

"Do you remember why she would not smile like she used to?"

"Yes..." Selenity sighed, tears flowing down her face.

"Father died..."

"I do not want you to go through that, and you know your mother would not either."

"Endymon, what you ask of me is impossible... How could I ever forget you? You will always be in my heart, no matter how hard I try to change."

"Then do not try to forget me, remember that I'm gone. Find someone else, I know you can. if there was one specific drop of water in the ocean you wanted, you could find it."

"You are not gone yet..." Endymon smiled ever so slightly.


~If only you could keep me warm~

~If only you could keep me from harm~


"No, but I can feel myself slipping further and further every minute." Selenity's face paled even more

"Selenity, please get Usagi."

"Anything you wish, my dear." Selenity turned and left the room. She chewed her lip, worried at what Endymon was doing. Her daughter, now known as Usagi, wielded the ginzuishou with much prowess. She was engaged to Helios, her happiness at this rivaled Selenity's. Selenity slipped into her daughter's chambers to see the said couple holding each other. Selenity smiled sadly and stood still for a moment, watching Helios trying to get Usagi to stop crying. Selenity quietly walked over and laid a hand on each of their shoulders, tears falling from her eyes once more.

"Your father wants to see you, musume." She said, trying to distract her daughter. Usagi's eyes widened, and she hugged her mother briefly before dashing out of the room. She nodded to Helios, who obviously wished to follow his fiancée. The lunarian queen sat down on her daughter's bed and wrapped her arms around herself, trying to make the hurting stop. She had endured the dark kingdoms relentless attacks and had seen everyone she loved die in a previous life.

Through her time as Sailor Moon, she had seen her senshi get injured countless times, but she had managed to pull through all this with a happy smile as they healed in the end.

End....

There was always an end. Someone always had to suffer. It was her turn again. When she first began her adventures as the senshi of the moon, Mamoru had been there, teasing her and taking her mind off her troubles by making new, amusing ones. Just as they had gotten their memories back, he was snatched from her arms. Shortly after, he lost his memory, forgetting his love for her. After yet another saga of her heart split down the middle, they had reunited briefly, only to separate again in Mamoru's attempt to protect her.

Of course... Protector of earth... There had always been that hope of being reunited, even in the silver millennium. She had died along with Endymon then, joining him in oblivion. But now... Now she would be forced to live on for an eternity while her love's body lay in the soil. Ironically, it was the very earth for which they had died several times to protect.

~Broken...~

Suddenly, she felt two powers nearby flicker. She gasped with recognition. The Ginzuishou and the golden crystal! She burst into the corridor and rushed into her husband's room to see her daughter floating peacefully, and her husband rising three feet above his bed, his body spasming. She tried to go to his side, but felt a pair of hands grasp her arms to stop her.

"Not yet, your highness! Their concentration cannot be broken!", said Helios. Her attention turned to the Senshi, who were standing in a semicircle. Her Senshi. All of the senshi, even Pluto, lent power to their king and princess. She realized that she had to help.

What they were doing, though she didn't know exactly what, pertained to her. Though she no longer possessed the ginzuishou, the power of the moon, as well as her own energy, was at her command. Her eyes closed and she knelt down, offering a quick prayer to her mother, Selene. She saw her daughter relax as the power flowed though her. Endymon continued to shake, but at a much lesser degree.

When she had finished giving them all of the excess power she had, the crystals grew bright, causing her to clench her eyes painfully tight. The light was warm, but not blinding. She didn't want to see that light again. Silver and golden light engulfed the room, piercing though the crystal walls. The golden light flickered and died, shortly followed by the silver. Selenity felt a surge of power warm her, a certain familiar gem she had bequeathed to her daughter lay in her hands.

When she opened her eyes, she received quite a shock. The golden crystal had replaced the ginzuishou in her daughter's hands. She looked into her own hands and gasped, the ginzuishou glowed more brightly than ever, as though it had just granted a wish. And indeed it had. She watched Endymon… No, she watched Mamoru fade away into the air.

Nothingness...

Tears clouded her vision. *Wait.... it isn't just tears... They... they're fading away too?! But... this is different...*, She thought as everything slowly faded to white, *They are not fading... I am...* The last thing she saw was Helios holding her daughter, as she said goodbye and wished her mother luck.

"Be happy, mama, for all of us."

"Sayonara Selenity. Suki-da!"

 Sayonara, minna... Daisuki...

~Broken dreams are... just... too... late~
