I think I can never repay Aquarius for what she did for me. That night, Monoceros and I were married on his home planet of Elysion, with his younger brother, the High Priest Helios, conducting the Ceremony. I have to keep this secret from my mother until after the war, so the marriage would be official on my planet. And after the war, when peace is fully restored in the galaxy, we're planning to start a family. But only time will tell if this future would be…

"Well, it's official. The Queen has completely given up trying to find a suitor for you. Way to go!" Leo said, as she pranced around Elara's bedroom during one of her rare free moments.

Rhea was trying to be a better ruler after the entire Cronus mess, and was slowly gaining the people's trust back after her bad judgment.

"Well, I won't be looking for a husband at all." Elara said.

She looked down at the ring that now occupied her finger. It was a rainbow crystal that was only found on Elysion. It was a small stone, but it meant the world to Elara. It meant she belonged to her true love and to him alone. She didn't want to leave right after her wedding night, but she had to finish things. The ring sealed the promise that the next time she returned to Elysion, it would be for good.

Leo noticed Elara's silence. Something was up with her ever since Aquarius had a talk with her a few nights before.

Maybe she's still sick…Leo thought to herself as Aquarius tended to the princess for the pass two days.

"Hey, Princess, are you feeling ok? You've been awful quiet lately."

"Oh! Have i? Sorry Leo. I've just been thinking a lot lately. Mostly about when this war will be over. Don't worry too much about…"

Before she finished her sentence, Elara got up from her seat, a battle glare on her face. Leo felt the dark aura of power as well.

"Elara. Transform quick."

"Right. Earth Terrain Power!"

"Make Up!"

Sailor Earth and Sailor Leo took off toward the direction of the dark aura. The other Zodiacs and Endymion were already at the site, which were the great gates that allowed access into the Earth Terrain Palace. Then, something blasted the gates open. Youma started to storm the palace. Many of them were being cut off by the powerful attacks of the Zodiac. But one part of the flanks was unoccupied.

"Endymion! Where are your generals!?" Sailor Earth shouted over the roar of the battle.

Before Endymion was able to answer, something blasted Sailor Gemini really hard, causing her to scream in agony.

Sailor Earth was shocked when she saw who hurt her fellow scout.

It was no other than Kunzite, one of Endymion's sworn protectors.

"Kunzite!?"

"Storm the palace! Leave none alive!" Kunzite shouted, as the youma continued to attack.

Something is not right! Sailor Earth thought to herself. He wasn't like this not even a few days ago. What's happening?

Following behind Kunzite, Zoricite was leading more youma to kill everyone in their path.

"Don't hurt them too badly!" Sailor Earth shouted to the Zodiac. "Something is controlling them! Stun them and try to heal them!"

The Zodiac heard, but it was rather difficult to reach them with all the youma that was coming forward.

If they're attacking the palace with this much force, then…

Sailor Earth was stunned with a thought that just occurred to her. Apparently, Endymion was thinking the same thing. He had a sick look on his face.

"Serenity…"

Sailor Earth had to think of something quick. She saw Endymion's future that Pluto showed her, disappearing. Maybe they haven't attacked the Moon Kingdom yet. Maybe there was still time.

"Endymion! You have to go to her! See if she's alright! Go find Queen Serenity and warn her of the Dark Kingdom's increase in power!" Sailor Earth shouted.

Endymion heard Sailor Earth. He immediately rushed inside of the palace.

I'll take care of things here. You go and help Serenity. Good luck, Big Brother.

Meanwhile, on a cliff not too far from the palace, a black Pegasus with bat like wings stood watching everything that was going on at the palace. Then, a woman in green armor, similar to that of Sailor Galaxia, with long flowing blonde hair, kneeled in front of the Pegasus.

"The army is slowly being destroyed my lord." The woman said.

"Retreat for now," the Pegasus said. "We've given them a greeting for now. Later, it will be the end of Queen Serenity's rule, and my Galactic Empire shall rise. Go now and prepare the armies for the final attack of the Earth Terrain Kingdoms, and send Sapphire to alert Queen Metallia that the time to attack the Moon Kingdom is now."

The woman kneeled lower.

"Yes, Lord Cronus." Then she disappeared.
