AN: So this is my first Sailor Moon, yay! :) It starts out with my view of how Serenity and Endymion die back in the day on the moon. I am really bad at summaries so if after reading this you have any ideas, please let me know.
Story note: (this may, or may not help you understand) For this story it is a mix of the anime and manga, and the Stars never happen. (I never got that far, yet, so it's just not going to be in my world)
Also, I don't own Sailor Moon, I not that awesome.

-The End of the Moon
They were running through the palace, Endymion pulling Serenity behind him. All hell was breaking loose outside and he had to get her some place safe. However, he was not sure there was any safe place, not on the Moon and not on Earth, even the palace was starting to be over run. 'How did this happen so fast?' Endymion thought. "Endymion, I can't run anymore." Serenity gasped out. Her dress was not made for running, and she had almost tripped several times. She knew the need, but her body could not be made to keep it up. At Serenity's words, Endymion stopped, also breathing heavily. Still holding tightly to Serenity's hand he looked around, trying to find some place to hide her. Anywhere would do so long as she was safe. He could already hear the sound of someone coming near, and he was sure it was the Dark Kingdom trash.
Out of time, Endymion pulled Serenity over to a small niche, behind a statue and a tapestry hanging around it. It wasn't much, but with how small Serenity was, if she was very still and very quiet, then maybe, just maybe she would be safe. "Serenity, hide here," he said, as he pushed her down, tucking her long hair and dress around her so they wouldn't show.
Endymion looked over his shoulder glancing down the hall to make sure they were still yet alone. When he turned back and looked at Serenity, her eyes where wide, and every inch of her beautiful face was full of fear. Endymion raised his hand to her face brushing it a long her right cheek. "Don't worry my love, I will protect you as best as I can, no matter what." Endymion said softly. "You must stay hidden no matter what happens." He said, as he pressed the knife he carried next to his sword, into Serenity's hand. She looked down and started to shake her head.
"But Endy—"
He stopped her, "I love you Serenity, and I won't let any harm come to you, but I need to know that if someone gets past me to you, that you have some way to defend yourself." She was still shaking her head, but she held the knife close to her chest. He looked behind him once more; he could just make out a battle coming their way. They had run out of time.
Serenity knew it too, for she pulled him back to face her, and pressed her trembling lips to his. "Endymion, I love you." She whispered with all her heart. Her hand stayed on Endymion's cheek, until his rising to his feet, took him out of her reach, only then did she let it fall back into her lap.
Endymion left her with his sword drawn, walking down the hall away from her hiding place, and closer to the battle. From Serenity's hiding place she could see man after man run to Endymion, and one after the other they all fell. He was a strong and skilled warrior, but there were just too many, and she could see her prince weakening and knew him to be wounded too.
Then it came, and Serenity hated herself because she could do nothing. Endymion fell to the ground, and that is where he stayed unmoving, blood spreading beneath him, and his perfect midnight blue eyes were lifeless. Serenity held her hands to her face, fingers biting in, trying to hold back the scream bubbling to the surface, tears falling from wide blue eyes, over her hands. Somehow, she kept quiet, but it did not matter because they found her anyway.
"Look what we have here." A man with pale blond hair said, pulling her out by one of her pigtails. Eyes wide with shock, still spilling over with tears, Serenity screamed. Her hand went to her hair, holding it below the man's that was dragging her out into the open, trying to lessen the pain. There were three of them, all of them wearing armor covered in blood, and they all were laughing, enjoying Serenity's misery and pain. As they laughed, Serenity lashed out with the knife she still held in her left hand, at the man still holding her by her hair. As blood sprayed from the man's throat, Serenity fell back, now free, away from him as he died. One of the other two men grabbed Serenity by her wrist.
"We have a fighter." The man said, with a cold laugh, knocking the now bloody knife, from her hand. Serenity knew it did not matter anyway, she was not skilled enough to kill the two men that were left, she had only been able to kill the first man by luck, and surprise. "Our Queen will be pleased that we found the Moon princess." The man holding her said brushing Serenity's bangs back to look at her golden crescent moon.
Serenity jerked her head away, and yelled, "I'll die before I let you take me to that evil woman!" Serenity kicked out as hard as she could, yanked her wrist from him and before he could stop her, she slit her wrists on his still drawn sword. The cuts were so deep that Serenity's blood flowed from her like a river. It wasn't long before she fell, knees weak and unable to hold her up any longer, to the ground.
"Stupid girl!"
"Come on, leave her. She'll be dead soon anyway." The two men backed away in disdain, leaving the dying moon Princess to do just that.
Serenity lay crumpled on the ground, blood pouring from the deep twin gashes on her wrist. 'If only I had the strength to go to Endymion,' she thought as she looked at his still form. She could not even see his face from where she lay. Tears, that had never stopped since her prince fell, poured out almost as fast as her blood. "Endymion... I hope we can be reborn, on the same planet this time, where we don't have to hide our love. And if we are to meet again in another life, I know we will fall in love again. I know for sure this time we will be happy Endymion..." Serenity said with her last breath.

Usagi woke from the dream crying, and clutching the covers to her chest, "Usagi-Chan, why are you crying? Did you have a bad dream?" Luna asked sleepily. Luna became very worried when her charge didn't answer. "Usagi-Chan?" Luna asked again, coming to sit in front of her.
"I—I'm fine Luna." Usagi finally managed, tears still running down her face. "I have to call Endymion," Usagi said, throwing back the covers and grabbing up the phone on her nightstand.
"Usagi, it's the middle of the night!" Luna hissed, "Mamo-Chan will be asleep at this hour."
Usagi didn't even pause in her dialing. "I know that Luna, but I need to hear his voice."
Luna shook her head at the girl, "Really Usagi-Chan—" Luna looked down and broke off, there was something on dark on the covers Usagi-Chan had just been holding...
"Hello?" From the other side of the phone, came Mamo-Chan's sleep filled voice. As Luna had said, Mamoru had indeed been sleep, "Who is this?" Mamoru asked.
"Oh, Endymion!" Usagi almost sobbed at the sound of his voice.
"Usako, what's wrong?" Mamoru asked, not really noticing her use of his other name. But Luna did notice. That was the second time Usagi-Chan, had called Mamo-Chan by his former name Endymion. Why was that, Luna wondered.
"It's nothing, really. I just had a bad dream, and needed to hear your voice," Usagi said, wiping at her eyes. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called, and I know it's late...I just needed to hear your voice." With that, Usagi hung up the phone, before Mamoru got a chance to say anything, and turned back to face Luna. That is when Luna saw that the cuffs of Usagi's pink nightshirt were now black in the darkness. "Usagi-Chan, your cuffs—" Usagi broke Luna off, "Everything's ok now Luna." Usagi said, a smile on her face, just before she fell to the floor.
