Notes:

**** 01 ****

Usagi was a cheerful happy girl. She was very popular
at school and at the Game Crown Arcade. However, the life
as she knew it would come to an end. Usagi and her family
was to spend the weekend faraway at a resort and relax and
also have some fun as well. This would be Usagi's last time
she would do anything with her family.

She had met Rei and Ami before leaving on the trip. Rei and
Usagi had another argument like they always did. it was fun'for
both of them. It was better than really yelling over stupid things
that could be easily resolved. Ami did as she always did. She was
reading a textbook while speaking to Rei and Usagi to not yell
so much so she could concentrate on her studies. Luna sat near
Usagi and spoke up.

"Artemis and myself discovered an unusual reading recently.
it looked suspicious. It could be a new enemy."

Luna announced her findings to Ami, Rei, and Usagi. Usagi laughed
it off like it was nothing serious.

"Oh Luna, you are worrying again. The Wiseman was defeated and there's
no way he can return now. You worry like an old hag!"

Usagi spoke as she laughed. This annoyed Luna.

"I am not an old hag Usagi-Chan! This is serious. if it is a new
enemy we will be in big trouble!"

Luna rebuked Usagi but Usagi wasn't a bit phased and Usagi struck
back with more words of her own.

"Oh Luna, you only come up with words like that when you're
miserable."

Usagi wasn't giving up without a fight. Ami stepped in.

"Everyone, if Luna is correct, we could be in trouble. With
each new enemy, they become stronger. We must be prepared for
the worst."

Ami stated while reading her textbook.

"What's the worst that could happen?"

Usagi asked in a curious tone. Rei decided to scare Usagi for fun.
Rei spoke in an eerie voice.

"You know, a monster could attack your family and stab you in the
stomach or the heart!"

Rei spoke in a cold but chilling voice trying to poke fun at Usagi
by trying to scare her. It worked. Usagi tensed up and her expression
changed instantly. Her eyes looked like glass as if she was frozen in
a moment of time. Rei was stopped when Luna scolded her.

"ENOUGH REI!" Luna yelled at Rei and continued, "You may be right however,
the new enemy if there is one could go on the offensive and attack
someone or their family. If there is a new enemy, their motives are
not clear. Let's agree to keep an open mind about what could happen
in the future, ok?"

Luna explained the possibility of a new enemy and that it wasn't clear
what their motive was yet. However, it would be clear very soon.

Somewhere outside of Tokyo in a dark and shrouded forest, a spaceship landed
in the midst of the forest and the group of monstrous aliens prepared
to make their attack on the world.

Four monstrous villains was in the ship. One looked like a titan and had
a bloody mask on his head and the mask looked like it was old and rusted.
This mask was also cursed. This villain's name was Darkbane. His three
minions was a humanoid woman named Snakeera who resembled a cobra looking
woman and at times she could shift into a snake and get into places unnoticed.
The next henchman was a monstrous beast that looked like a Rhino and an Ox and
he was called 'Rhinox.' And next to him was another female villain that
looked like a humanoid vulture. Her name was Vultura.

The group was called the 'Cursed Moon' and their objective was to sacrifice
humans for their great and high master Lord Demonbane which was banished
to the center of the earth and could only be released if the five descendants
of the ancient sages were killed. No one knew where these descendants was now.
Darkbane spoke.

"This is the country of Japan. Our search should begin there. Snakeera, take
this Dark Egg which contains some of my powers. It will hatch into a monster.
Use it to make the first sacrifice. I think a loving family should be sacrificed
to our great leader Demonbane. Please Snakeera, carry out your task."

Darkbane ordered her.

"Yes sire. I go at once."

Snakeera answered as she bowed and took the Dark Egg and left. Usagi and her family
decided to take an evening walk to a local park. Usagi was nervous about what Rei had
said. Usagi didn't want any new enemies appearing and ruining her day. Usagi was enjoying
the breeze when Snakeera appeared with an Dark Egg in her hand and she spoke.

"My great king and lord Demonbane, please give this Dark Egg life! Allow it to watch into
a monster! Arise Rhinox!"

Snakeera spoke with a loud voice as she held the Dark Egg aloft and it cracked and shattered
and an ominous cloud came out of the egg and formed a monster on the ground.

"My name is Rhinox! I am capable of killing and destroying anything that stands in our great lord's
way!"

Rhinox announced. Usagi's family cringed as they saw this new mutant.

"Rhinox, kill these humans! Our master needs sacrifices made to him!"

Snakeera ordered Rhinox and Rhinox acknowledged her. The enemy had cut off
Usagi's escape. She knew she had to transform and stop this monster, but her family
would know that she was Sailor Moon. Usagi stepped in front of her family.

"Please stay back! Let me handle them!"

Usagi warned her family. Her family wondered what Usagi meant. Then she grabbed her brooch
and spoke.

"Moon Crystal Power! Make Up!"

Usagi held her brooch up and she transformed into Sailor Moon. Her family was shocked that she
was the famed Super Heroine known as Sailor Moon.

"I am the pretty soldier in a 'Sailor Suit', I am Sailor Moon! In the name of the Moon, I will punish
you!"

Sailor Moon warned them.

"Just try Sailor Girl!"

Snakeera challenged her and Sailor Moon spoke again.

"You're on!"

Sailor Moon answered as she decided to take the challenge. Sailor Moon ran towards Rhinox
and jumped in the air and kicked Rhinox in the chest and causing him to fall to the ground.
Rhinox struggled to get back up to his feet.

"COME ON RHINOX, KILL THIS GIRL AND BE DONE WITH IT!"

Snakeera yelled her order to Rhinox.

"Yes ma'am!"

Rhinox obeyed as he got back on his feet as he started to charge at Sailor Moon.

"Moon Tiara Action!"

Sailor Moon as she took of her tiara and threw it at Rhinox and caused his horns to
be cut off and his horns fell to the ground. This made Rhinox very angry!

"HOW DARE YOU!"

Rhinox yelled as he caused his dark sword to appear and he lunged at Sailor Moon
and stabbed Sailor Moon in her chest almost piercing her heart. And then he withdrew
his sword and Sailor Moon fell to the ground and in pain.

"I will leave you to die in pieces! Farewell Sailor Moon!"

Rhinox told Sailor Moon as he and Snakeera vanished. Usagi's came running.

"USAGI!"

Her family yelled as they came up to Sailor Moon. They were worried for her.

"Sailor Moon, are you alright?"

Ikuko asked in a worried tone. Sailor Moon looked at Ikuko and had a slight smile
and spoke.

"I won't live long so listen up! Take my brooch and please give it to Sailor Venus.
She will know what to do with it. I see iit even now, there will be a girl that will
succeed me as Sailor Moon. A girl the same age as me and very pretty too.
Please heed my last request!"

Sailor Moon spoke and as instructed, Ikuko took off Sailor Moon's brooch
and Sailor Moon re-transformed back into Usagi. Usagi spoke again.

"Please rent my room out to a girl my age who is worthy of living there. I don't
want my room to remain empty. And tell my friends that I love them always and including
Rei-Chan."

Usagi instructed again. Ikuko nodded and agreed as tears was flowing from her eyes. Usagi
reached up and wiped her tears.

"It's okay, death is apart of life. Please give my communicator to Venus as well. She will know
what to do with it."

Usagi instructed and Ikuko took off Usagi's communicator and she held it in her hand. Usagi
looked at her family and she spoke again.

"Please be strong... I... always... love you... always..."

Usagi spoke as she lost consciousness and passed away. Usagi's family was in tears when
the Sailor Guardians, Tuxedo Mask, and the Cat Guardians appeared. They were too late.

"She tried to fight the new monster but she failed. She fought bravely."

Shingo spoke in a calm tone. He was very shocked by what happened. Ikuko handed the brooch
and communicator to Venus and she accepted it.

"What happens now?"

Mercury asked to Venus, Luna, and Artemis.

"I do not know."

Sailor Venus answered. They never had faced a crisis like this before where Sailor Moon
was killed.

"Everyone, something good will happen out of this tragedy!"

Tuxedo Mask stated as he tried to keep his wits about him. A new Sailor Guardian would
appear soon to replace Sailor Moon. However, the Senshi did not know who this girl
was or who it would be. This new girl would appear soon.
