There she stood.

Tsukino Usagi stood next to her husband-to-be and gazed at him
lovingly. The dark-haired man gave her a small smile before
re-adverting his attention to the priest. The priest droned on as
nervous and excited glances were exchanged between Chiba Mamoru and
his bride. Finally, the awaited phrase came: "Chiba Mamoru, do you take
this woman as your lawfully wedded wife?" Mamoru glanced over
at his Usako and smiled.

"I do."

"Tsukino Usagi, do you take this man as your lawfully wedded
husband?"

"I --" Usagi started to speak, but before she could finish,
a dark cloud, which had been steadly growing, unnoticed, during the
whole ceremony, let out a large crash. Frantic, everyone glanced
around. The senshi grabbed their henshin sticks, ready to transform
if necessary, obviously pissed at whomever or whatever could be
disrupting the supposed happiest day in their leader, their princess,
and their best friend's life. Mamoru grabbed Usagi protectively,
but she was pulled out of his grip by an invisible force.

An evil laugh rang through the thick air, and Usagi, who
was standing there, in the midst of all the chaos, disintegrated.
Or maybe she melted away. Sometimes, she just plain disappeared. Or a
knife was simply stuck through her chest. Or a near-by building
collapsed on the girl. It varied every night, but
nonetheless, the end product was the same.

Tsukino Usagi was dead.

In a dark apartment building in Tokyo, Chiba Mamoru shot
up in bed.
