The surrounding darkness was eternal. No wisps of fog, no sparkle of the stars, no blazing blue of the Earth, it was just dark, with darker objects obscuring her sight. The only visible thing was the Moon itself reflecting off the cascade of tears. It was hard remembering the good days, when they were just kids bickering amongst themselves and fighting Nega-Trash. The lonesome sigh from the Neo-Queen herself permitted the air like a slow growing mold. What went wrong? Only the ruins of her home surrounding her could ever answer.
The Neo-Queen got up from a deteriorating column and started wandering her broken home, memories flying through her mind's eye unbidden. Her fallen comrades were strewn not too far from their defensive outposts. Their screams and cries burned into her skull like a constant ringing.
Her one and true love still frozen on her knees, an arrow right through her heart. Serenity was terrified of touching her again, fearing she'll disintegrate into mere dust. She could still hear a whispered question being lost to deaf ears.
Looking around again, her tired eyes caught the dull shine of silver. Her Akinaka. It was a simple short sword of iron, perfectly preserved just for her use. Joining her Sea Queen was more than a mere goal now.
Picking it up, she poised it right in front of her heart, looking to her love with fresh tears filling her eyes.
A light disrupted the heartbreaking scene and blinded Serenity. When she opened her eyes she was stunned. Her very own Sailor Pluto is alive!
"Neo-Queen Serenity," Pluto spoke, "I can help you start over in a brand new world."
Brand new world? Why would she do that? Her Sailor Senshi are dead. She'd do anything to re-join them again...
Pluto watched the never ending tears stream down her face, she could feel angry and depressed emotions leak out of her Queen's Aura. Without saying another word, the greenette took those dark emotions and began constructing the portal to a fresh world.
"Enter through here. You want to be with your Scouts again, and I grant you this wish. Please, Neo-Queen Serenity, and be with your Love again."
Standing up the Queen took a few steps forward, finally feeling the hope and strength to fix her wrongs. "At what cost?"
"You'll be thrown into Earth's future, unlike our own. This Earth won't have a Crystal Tokyo, instead you will only be the ruler of it itself. You will still have your Scouts however, fear not as you will be able to awaken them yourself."
Serenity thought this over for what felt like an eternity. She gets her Scouts back, and rule Earth instead of her own home. With an assertive nod, she took more steps towards a more hopeful future. "Thank you…"
"You may not be my own Queen, but the Gods thought you one of their own. You've made your own happy as well. You're the only hope any sort of timeline has, please think no little faith in yourself. Good luck."
The blonde watched Sailor Pluto disappear into the ether, leaving behind a Silver Crystal. She could feel the power it emitted, already planning on distributing it among the Sailor Senshi's Sailor Crystals. With another lungful of air, and a final glance to this worlds' failed attempt of protection, Neo-Queen Serenity walked through the portal and shed back her formal royalty into a new form of power.
