After the terrible battle in the 30th Century with the Black Moon Family and The Doom Phantom, the Sailor Scouts and Neo Queen Serenity put the Crystal Tokyo back together, it took some time but they did it. Time had passed and Every one was living their new lives in peace and there hasn't been any enemy activity for quit a while, but what nobody knew way that their happy days of peace were about to be shattered by an old friend and he wasn't alone.
Deep in the out skirts of the Solar System there was a black hole that appeared almost out of nowhere, and out of this black hole came a huge comet about as big as the Earths moon but it was solid black with high readings of negative energy running through its core, and it was headed straight for Earth. It would reach the Earth in a matter of weeks if not sooner and no one had any idea of its approach.
The whole kingdom was in a bustle for it was Princess Rene's 21 birthday and every one was preparing for the big day only weeks away. Princess Rene was happy yet sad that she was turning 21, she was happy that she was getting older and would be getting more respect but yet she was unhappy about it because she was getting closer to the time that she would have to take over the role of Queen after her mother. Rene really didn't think she was all that ready for this big of a role she knew she could do it but she didn't thank that she would be all that good at it. Princess Rene would soon have to make this decision more quickly than she thought because the evil that approached would change her life forever.
As the big day approached so did the comet and as all of Crystal Tokyo would be at the Palace on the day of its arrival and that's exactly how the evil that was embedded in this comet wanted it.
"You just celebrate your happy day Neo Queen Serenity but mark my works this will be your last day on Earth" said a strange voice from the depths of the heart of the comet.
While every one was preparing for that evenings event Princess Rene was spending her day out in the garden away from the ruckus, her mother often would love to come out to the garden to do the same thing when she was younger.
" Hey Rene, what are you doing out here alone" asked Diana with a grin as she sat down beside her friend.
" Nothing really just getting away, need to think," replied Rene with a sigh
" What are you thinking about that's so important" she asked as she twirled her gray tail.
" The future, how I know I'm next in line for the throne and its coming to fast for me to decide on what I'm going to do when I do become queen" replied Rene
" Well today is your big day and I wouldn't let that stuff get in your way of that" Said Diana as she leaned on her friends shoulder.
" You know your right Diana I should be kicking back and enjoying myself how about we got to the park and have some fun you know just us," asked Rene
" Well I don't know I would have to ask my parents but" said Diana
" Oh come on we don't need to ask them they probably wouldn't let us any way lets just go" replied Rene as she grabbed Diana's hand and swept her away through the garden and out the gates.
No one even noticed that Rene and Diana were gone; they all just were too busy to notice. As the evening went by and the girls played in the park and while every one else got ready for the party the comet was almost upon them. It broke through the atmosphere and was picking up speed heading straight for the Palace the center of Crystal Tokyo.
" Where is Rene?" asked Raye as she looked around
" I have not seen her or Diana all day" replied Artemis
" Well some one needs to find them because it's almost time to start the party," said Amy a little worried.
Lita walked over to King Edmond across the room there were tons of people and lots of food it smelled so sweet she couldn't help but take a small finger cake of a passing tray.
" Your highness I hate to inform you but we can't find Rene," whispered Lita
King Edmond looked at her with confused look.
"What do you mean you can't find her?" asked Kind Edmond
" I mean we cant find her no one has seen her or Diana all day" said Lita
" Well I would have to say that's her mother in her being late for her own party" said the King with a laugh. Lita couldn't help but laugh with him for she knew how true that was.
" I will tell Neo Queen Serenity maybe she might know where to find her" replied King Edmond as he walked away.
He approached the queen with a gentle smile as he took her hand in his and gently kissed it.
" My love I would have to say Rene is your daughter to a T," he said as he looked up at her with a grin.
" Why my dear I wouldn't know what you are talking about" said the Queen with a smile
" Our daughter is missing, and so is her best friend, you wouldn't have any idea where they might have gone to would you" asked the King as he stood next to her holding her hand as they scanned the crowd for familiar faces.
" Well since I haven't see them all day ether I would have to say she probably went to the park and are probably on their way back as we speak" said the Queen with a returning smile.
And if only how true the queen was the two girls were on their way back to the palace, with ice cream from ear to ear like the old days they had shared. As they walked under the street lights as they glowed in the night, Rene could not help thinking that something was going to happen that night she just couldn't put her finger on it so she over looked it and went on about her fun.
" Man this was fun wasn't" said Diana as she licked on her ice cream cone
" Yea it was I think that's exactly what I need to get my mind of the future was some old fashioned fun" replied Rene as she licked the ice cream off her hand.
But then suddenly there was a huge ball of fire falling from the sky the sirens started going off warning the Kingdom of the intruders. The Palace was in frenzy as the sirens went off every one was scrabbling for the doors as they pushed and shoved each other. The girls ran to as fast as they could toward the Palace but just as they had got to the square the comet hit the Palace sending it into flames, people rushed out Sailor Scouts trying to help as many of them out as they could, but there was no sign of the King and Queen.
" Where are my parents?" yelled Rene over the noise
" I'm sorry Rene but I think they are still in there," replied Lita as she helped a woman out of the ruble.
" Oh no they could be in trouble" she yelled as she started for the Palace with her Sailor Pendent in her hand.
" Rene no you cant its to dangerous your mother can handle her self" yelled Raye as she grabbed Rene on the run.
"Let me go I have to help them" she said as she struggled to get free.
While the Sailor Scouts helped the people on the out side of the palace Neo Queen Serenity and King Edmond tried to put up a barrier around the ones still left in side to protect them from the falling ruble hoping that it would last until the Sailor Scouts could get to them. But what they didn't realize was that they were not alone as they tried to keep the barrier up and the people calm a dark figure came out of the shadows and it was not alone it had followers with it.
" So here we are again, how nice it is to see you again Neo Queen Serenity" said the dark figure as its followers snickered behind it.
" Who are you and what do you want," Neo Queen Serenity asked with a stern voice
" Oh do you not recognize me your highness let me step in to the light so you can get a better look" replied the figure.
As the dark figure stepped into the flames light its face was revealed it was the Doom Phantom but he looked different deformed like and his followers looked very familiar but the Queen couldn't put her finger on where she had seen them before.
"What do you want haven't you caused enough damage the last time you were here" asked King Edmond as he stood between Neo Queen Serenity and the Doom Phantom with his sword at hand.
" You should know very well why I am here you banished me when you were Prince and then your dear Neo Queen Serenity tried to finish me when I came back with the Black Moon Family such a bunch of fouls" said the Doom Phantom
" I'm sorry that Beryl's monster possessed you and I did not see it sooner but you brain washed the Black Moon Family in to thinking you were there to help then you used their powers to feed your own and then you tossed them to the side like trash" said King Edmond.
" Your sorry, sorry wont work here not now I will destroy your lives and then I will do what I came to do in the first place I will take this planet and the people living on it and plunge it in to darkness" replied the Doom Phantom as he raised his orb to the sky.
" You will not win this time or any other time you try I will stop you," said Neo Queen Serenity as she tried to hold on to her Silver Crystal with all her strength.
The Silver Crystal glowed brighter and brighter but it seemed to be not enough and just as she thought that she was going to make it the Doom Phantom blasted the barrier with dark energy and she lost her concentration and the barrier began to fade. King Edmond tried to fend off the fiends but it was no use there were to many of them for him alone.
" My love we must go we cant save every one if we are to bring our people out of this we have to survive" said King Edmond as he embraced his lover's side.
" I can not give up on them now I must protect all of them" replied Neo Queen Serenity as the Doom Phantom hit the barrier over and over with dark energy.
" You must let go we can save most of them but we just cant save them all I'm sorry Rene needs her parents she will be lost without think of her" said King Edmond as the ruble came pounding down on top of them, they needed to leave but there almost wasn't any chance of them getting out alive.
Finally King Edmond took a chance and grabbed Neo Queen Serenity rushed for the nearest exit point he could see.
"Stop I have to stop him now" yelled Neo Queen Serenity as she struggled to get loose
" I will not let you go not now not ever," yelled King Edmond as he rushed her out through the ruble. But just as he thought they were out of danger a blast from behind hit him and he fell to the ground with her, then out of the smoke the Doom Phantom appeared.
" You will die this day if I have to use all of my power to do it, DIE NEO QUEEN SERENITY" said the Doom Phantom as he blasted her with an energy blast.
She took the blast but it didn't kill her like he had planed, as she stood up he hit her again and again.
" Why wont you just die" yelled the Doom Phantom as Neo Queen Serenity took the Silver Crystal in her hands and held it in front of her.
" Because I am justice I am hope I am peace" she yelled as the Silver Crystal lit up brighter than ever before.
But it was not enough something was different about the Doom Phantom he was stronger some much stronger and he gave it all to her. With all he had he hit her over and over and finally she fell to the ground hard and fast it was over. King Edmond rushed to her side and grabbed her up in his arms as he stocked her beautiful blond hair tears ran down his face.
" Serena speak to me please Serena don't leave me now" whispered King Edmond.
It had been so long sense he had said her real name that she almost didn't recognize it, as she opened her eyes barely she could see his face looking down at her.
" That name its nice to hear you say it," she said with a cough
He held her tighter as she lay there in his arms.
" I love you Darien my love," she said to him with a faint smile
" I love you too my love don't leave me I cant loose you" he said as she slowly opened and shut her eyes
"Don't worry I will always be with you and Rene keep her safe she is our only child and tell her I love her dearly" she said as she drifted in to the darkness, she was gone. Her body began to disappear like moon dust in his arms.
For only a moment he sat there in morn but it did not last soon his sadness became anger and he let all of it out.
" You monster you killed her are you happy now," he asked in anger
"No now you must die," said the Doom Phantom.
And with that he blasted King Edmond like he did Neo Queen Serenity and like her the king meet the same fait.
After the fire died down and the Sailor Scouts could get through the ruble they were shocked not to find the King or Queen's bodies any where it was like they had vanished but there were signs of a struggle and that meant that an evil force was once again there in Crystal Tokyo to try to destroy the peace and harmony that Neo Queen Serenity and King Edmond along with the Sailor Scouts had worked so hard to create.
When Rene found out that her mother and father were gone it was devastating for her she broke down and was like an empty shell of her former self. The rest of the girls tried to comfort her but it seemed nothing could sooth the pain of loosing her mother and father.
With Neo Queen Serenity and King Edmond gone that meant that Princess Rene would have to take on the role as Queen and also fill the boots of her mother's long legacy of being Sailor Moon as well. She was the only moonchild left now and that meant she had a lot to carry on such young shoulders. What would she do had how would she cope with losing her family.
