Sailor Solar Star spun around to see Dracon caught in one
of Endymions attacks, screaming in agony. "NO!" she screamed herself,
running to her lovers side. She reached him, trying to enter the light
that held him but was thrown back, a electric field. She lay there,
unmoving on the floor. "USAKO!" shouted Daemon as he saw her fall, saw
her lay there lifelessly, one arm decorated in her own crimson blood. He
clenched his sword, clenching his teeth at the immense pain running
through his body. He concentrated his energy ignoring the pain, he
summoned the golden sun crystal, throwing a small amount at Endymion.
Endymion wasn't watching him, he was watching Usagi's lifeless body then
it hit him, blinding him for a moment and knocking him back, causing him
to stop his own attack.
"Don't you dare hurt her again!" exclaimed Dracon, anger in his face.
He charged at Endymion, sword in hand, his face pale and covered in
sweat. And so the battle began again. Who would die and who would win?
That was the question on everyone's mind, especially Usagi's. They
ragged on, sword and against sword, both fighting for something,
one for the moon princess's death the other for her life. Dracon
brought his sword down aiming for Endymions head, however he quickly
blocked it. He never noticed Dracon's breathe seriously quicken,
or the tiredness in his eyes.
"Why do want the brat so much anyway?" asked Endymion between blows.
"I love her more than anything," answered Draco, all during this
conversation their sword fight continuing.
"You don't love her, you don't you even know her, not
the way I do." This made Dracon mad, he lunged at Endymion, thrusting
his sword upward, and as Endymion turned to avoid he brought is
sideways cutting his arm. "I know her better than you'll ever know!"
Endymion became infuriated. He charged at Dracon, thrusting and lunging
his sword, striking with no mercy. Draco could barely hold him off,
his head pounding, his lungs and heart burning. His vision began
to blur, he was having trouble seeing. He did the only thing he
could do, he took out the crystal of golden light. He brought it
as full power as he could manage, releasing the energy and light.
Endymion screamed as it blinded him, burned his fleshed, it felt
like the sun itself coming upon him. His skin began to turn red,
like it was burned, he quickly brought up his shield of energy,
blocking most of it except the light, the blinding light. He
looked behind him in horror, seeing his father die, wither
up like a flower in the dessert. "NO!!!" he screamed, tears
brimming his eyes. His father may have been a bit obsessed
with his revenge but he was all he had!

Dracon dropped to his knees, he couldn't breathe! He gasped,
trying to take in that life giving air but his lungs were
failing him! His heart ached, it felt like it would explode.
He couldn't see, his vision just a blur. 'What's happening
to me?!' he wanted to scream, but without air he could not
find the words.

The blast from the crystal faded, Endymion could see
Dracon clearly on his knees on the floor, he had
thought the crystal had zapped his strength. Tears
were Endymions eyes, his father was gone, the only
one he had left. He gripped his sword and walked
up to Dracon, raising it in the air and thrusting
it in Dracon's chest. Dracon felt the pain overwhelm him,
felt Endymions sword enter his chest. He dropped to the
ground, crimson blood pouring from his chest. 'Serenity!
I love you,' he screamed in his mind, hoping she would hear
him, then his life slipped away. He was gone.

Sailor Solar Star jumped awake, panic filling her every bone.
She could have sworn she heard Dracon in her mind, telling her
he loved her. She looked up to see Endymion pull his sword from
Dracon's chest, a evil smile on his face. She saw the blood covering
the sword, saw Dracon's lifeless body on the floor. She screamed
an ear piercing scream that shock the entire place, Endymion stared
at her in shock as she finally let everything go. She let the rage and
despair she had been holding in for so long go, let it out. She turned
it in to power, let it consume her, so she could use it. She turned to
Endymion, hate in her eyes, raising her hand and threw the most powerful
energy ever seen. It was pure white light, it came at him, his widened in
shock. He never knew she had the power, never thought she would ever try
to kill him. It hit him, consumed him, threw his body against the stone wall.
He heard his own bones crunch, felt his own cold blood flow down as his
back as he slid to the floor, unconscious. Now she turned to where the
dark king once stood releasing his power, he was dead but his power
was still flowing, a crystal where he once stood. Her rage flared up
inside her, she screamed, releasing her power, shattering the crystal
and stopping the energy. The entire place shock, parts of the ceiling
began to fall in. She had done it, she had finally gone over the edge
and in doing so stopped the evil that threatened the earth and
everything on it.

She let herself sink to the floor, let the tears flow. She didn't
care anymore about keeping it inside and being strong, she just
didn't care. Dracon, no Daemon, was everything to her. She loved
him, and if she was given the choice between her love for him
and her destiny with Endymion she would have chosen love. But
she was not given a choice, once again the fates were cruel and
ripped her apart from the only thing she truly loved with all
her heart. The tears continued to pour, their end nonexistent.
Suddenly she was surrounded by the same bright light that she
had turned into raw power and felt herself being lifted,
transported to a different place. When the light faded she
found herself floating somewhere, it was like a endless
white space. She looked down to see herself wearing her
Princess gown, and once again the tears flowed. She had loosed
her Prince. "Serenity... Usagi don't cry," said a caring male
voice. She turned around in shock. "Daddy?!" she cried in disbelief,
her voice echoing in the void. There he was in front of her, her
father. Just like she remembered him, dressed in gold and silver,
red hair and beard, kind and gentle blue eyes. "Daddy!" she said
running to his arms. Soltar held his daughter, letting her cry.
"Usagi," he said gently. "Usagi your life is still not finished,
you still have much to do, and Endymion is apart of that life."
"No!" she cried. "I hate him! I HATE HIM! I don't want a life
with him I want Daemon! Father all those years ago Princess
Serenity may have loved Endymion but I no longer do! I am Usagi,
she may be apart of me but I am different then she is! And I love
Daemon!"
"Usagi listen to me, you are right. You have grown into a
different person however you can never run from it, you are
Usagi and you are Serenity just like Mamoru is Mamoru and Endymion.
Daemon is dead now Usagi, I'm sorry. But you most move on!
You need to make Crystal-Tokyo, that future must be achieved!
Endymion may have not loved you but Mamoru does. You need him
Usagi. Whether you are willing to admit it or not you need him."

Serenity sniffled, then pulled away, looking her father in the
face. "Maybe your right, I know Crystal-Tokyo must be built for
the good of the universe. I just wish Chibi-Usa could have
been Daemons and not Mamorus." Soltar smiled.
"But she is Usagi."
"WHAT?!"
"You don't know it yet but you have child with you, that
child is Daemons, Chibi-Usa as you call her."
Shock first filled her face then joy. She hadn't lost Daemon
completely! A part of him will always be with her in Chibi-Usa,
she wish she could have told him. But she knew now that he
would know where ever he was at and he would be watching over
them both.
"Usagi, a word of warning. Mamoru and the rest most think
the child is his otherwise he may not help you create
Crystal-Tokyo."
"I understand father."
"Good." Soltar smiled. "I'm so proud of you Usagi, you've
grown up into a beautiful lady and have done so much good.
Your mother would be proud to. Here, I have something for
you."
"What is it?" asked Usagi puzzled. A bright light glowed in front
of her, a familiar light. It formed a sphere, the size of the silver
crystal. She felt a slight pain in her chest as the piece lodged there
joined with the others and the crystal began whole. She gasped in shock
as she once again took it into her hands.
"Thank you father."
"Now you must go back to your friends, they will be worried
about you." She nodded in agreement and already felt herself
going back. "I love you father," she said. She heard her
fathers voice coming back to her, "I love you to my child."
She closed her eyes and smiled as she slammed back into reality.

She found herself laying on the floor, her friends surrounding
her, shaking her. She smiled at their shocked faces.
"I'm all right everyone," she said as she got up.
"Daemons..."began Rei her close friend.
"Dead," she finished. "Endymion killed him."
The others bowed their heads in respect, the knights all
look sad. He was their leader and they would miss him.
"Come, the place is caving in," said Neptune. "We need to
get out of here."
"Hai, someone get Mamoru. He's injured but still alive."
The others stared at her in shock.
"Are you sure Usagi?" asked Jupiter.
"Yes, it was Endymion whose heart has dark, not Mamoru."
The others were confused, but said nothing as they carried
him. Suddenly Ryos transported in, half dead. He was bleeding
badly, his side soaked with blood, half his face appeared gone.
"Demoness..." he whispered, then gasped when he saw her,
dead on the ground. He sat there, took her up in his arms,
holding her, crying. He had loved her, as much as Dracon
loved Serenity. Usagi nodded to the others to go, he
was no threat to them now.

They left that dark place, returning to their normal lives.
Mamoru was in the hospital, but had no memory of what had
happened. Usagi slowly once again learned to love him, but
never the same as before. Minako eventually recovered to
everyone's joy. Stephen and Makoto eventually got married,
the outer senshi left, Calvin going with them. Things
returned to normal, Crystal-Tokyo was created and Chibi-Usa
was born. And she was the only one alive who knew the truth,
who knew Daemon was her father.

However that is not the end of our tale, far from it. Just the
ending of a chapter in it. The next chapter will soon began,
a new story called 'Loves Return'.
