"Either lose your friends, or surrender," he said. Sailor Moon couldn't believe this was happening once again. She looked over to her fellow scouts who were tied up.

"Don't do it Sailor Moon, you can't surrender, you must protect the future!" Sailor Mars screamed, tears streaming down her face. Sailor Moon looked away and shook her head. She couldn't… she's lost her friends more time than she can count, and she wont be losing them again.

"No," Sailor moon cried.

"You have to! For the future!" Sailor Uranus yelled.

"I can't… bear to lose any of you ever again," Sailor Moon said and looked at them with a sad smile. All of the scouts had tears running down their faces.

"What about Rini!" Sailor Venus cried.

"She'll be fine… we'll all be just fine. I've lost you all more than I would like to admit because you all protected me. Not this time, I'm going to protect you all," Sailor Moon sobbed. She brought her hands up and framed her compact.

"NO!" Sailor Jupiter screamed.

"Don't do it Sailor Moon!" Sailor Mercury called out.

"It'll kill you, you can't princess!" Sailor Neptune begged.

"Everything will be alright," Sailor Moon said calmly, smiling at them her eyes glistening.

"Please… Serena!" Sailor Mars sobbed out.

"Moon Eternal Crystal Power!" Sailor moon cried out. A bright light started flashing from the crystal.

"NO what are you doing!" he screamed, he tried to make it to Sailor Moon, but was too late and soon everyone was engulfed in a white, warm light.

Please silver crystal, grant my wish.

Well there's the prologue. It is set after Sailor stars, but with this fic I'm changing a few things. Rini still exists, but they don't know who fathered her, which mean Darien and Serena never got together… in fact he doesn't exist. He never saved the scouts, in my fic they don't need to be save every episode by a guy throwing a rose. So other than the romance, everything is nearly the same. You'll find out the differences as I go. Please review :D
