Silver Millennium, the Moon, two miles away from
the moon palace:

Serenity stood behind Endymion and watched the
carnage around her with wide eyes. She had
never seen violence like this, and the foul
stench of death was new to her. She turned and
looked on as one Queen Beryl's minions killed
Jupiter. She wanted to yell the name of her
fallen friend, to drop to the ground and pound her
tiny fists into the ground and sob until the chaos
was over. And she would have but she remembered
what Endymion had told her before the battle
began: "Stay behind me, Sere. Don't move too
fast or yell. The Sailor Senshi will guard your
back; I'll guard your front. We don't want
Queen Beryl to know you're here, Okay?"
Serenity looked at the fallen bodies of
the four inner Senshi. All four. Taken from
this world too quickly. She looked towards
the three remaining Senshi that were standing
Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn. They would all
die soon, just like the others had. She
leaned over Endymion's shoulder and whispered:
"Endy, I'm scared."
"Don't be Sere, this will all be
over soon." Endymion saw Beryl's blade swing
towards him, and remembered what he had vowed
to Serenity's father just before he died: "I
will always protect Serenity, even with my
dying breath. I promise." It looked as if
that promise was going to fuill itself sooner
than Endymion had anticipated. He turned around
to look a Serenity 'I want my last sight in this
life to be her.' "Sere, I'm sorry. I'm so
sorrAHHHHHH!" Endymion screamed in pain as Beryl's
sword made contact with his flesh. His eyes
rolled up in his head; his eyelids flittered
then closed. He fell forward, away from his beloved
Serenity. Sailor Saturn, the last Senshi left
standing turned to look at the princess after she
heard the loud cry of "ENDYMION!! NOOOOO!!" and
saw Princess Serenity, a strange vision of white, hope,
and goodness in contrast to the dark hues of blood that
stained the battle flied, standing exposed to Queen
Beryl's vision. The evil Queen laughed, "So this
is where they were hiding you, eh, Princess?"
Serenity's eyes grew wide as two elements bombarded
her senses: the sight of Endymion's killer and the
sound of the Sailor Senshi of Saturn's death. Serenity
stood and looked and Queen Beryl, shell-shocked, as an
awful thought ran thought her mind: 'Oh, gods, they're
all dead and it because of me. Not only that, the one
they fought so hard to keep me away from is the one who
will kill me. It was all in vain...all their efforts
wasted...well I won't let that happen, I won't let Beryl
be the one to kill me...' she saw Endymion's sword
lying next to his dead body, 'It must have dropped when
he died...well, Endy, don't worry, I shall join you soon.'
Serenity knelt down and examined the sword, 'It's still
sharp...' she picked up the sword by its hilt, aimed the
point at the upper left side of her chest, where her heart
was and...

Cherry Hill temple:

"Rena...Serena...wake up Serena!" Raye yelled at her friend.
"What, are you in a trance or something, Meatball Head?"
Serena sat up straight and looked around the room. All of the
Senshi were staring at her with concerned looks on their faces.
Serena smiled and said: "It's nothing, I'm fine, don't worry
about me." Luna sat up and glared at Serena, "It is their
job to worry about you Serena. Now, since you're awake, you
should go back to studying." Serena picked up a pillow and
heaved it a Luna. "Yeah, right Luna. Put a sock in it."

THE END (?)

Well, how did you like my first fic? Yeah I know it's dark
but, in contrast to the anime, most of the manga is. Oh,
and I know the outer sailors weren't at the last battle,
but I put them there, because I just wanted to mention them,
because I think they're the coolest Senshi of all. If you
want to find out what happens to Serenity, see Mixx manga
vol.3. Anyway send all comments, flames, or suggestions
to: pkprowlerpilot@scififan.com. MST this story if you want,
I don't mind. Ja Ne!
