***Flashback***
"Raye, oh Raye . . . please don't go, don't go," I sobbed out. All around me, I felt the Scouts; they were trying to unite, to heal our pain and agony. Suppressed sobs were echoing throughout the park, as each one of us attempted to control ourselves. How could we let this happen, I thought angrily, how could we lose her so easily. That was when I felt a hand rest softly on my shoulder.
"Serena, come on, we need to go and tell Raye's grandfather and Chad," Darien whispered, his voice hoarse from his restrained emotions. I nodded and started to rise.
"Ha, ha, ha, you are not going anywhere."
"I demand to know, who are you and why are you hiding," Jupiter shouted.
"Who said that we are hiding, maybe we are waiting for our prey to figure out that they are in danger. Maybe we want you to run, to heighten our excitement when we kill you. That pitiful girl really was a bore, but you emotions made that tiny burst of energy worth our time."
"MOON PRINCESS ELIMINATION"
My beam of pure moon energy blasted out towards the voice of my friend's murderer. I felt hatred and anger like never before, wishing that I could hurt my unknown enemies, wanting them to feel pain, pain that would eventually kill them, but not too quickly. Torture.
That's when I stopped. I was turning into a monster, I was turning into them. I slowly dropped to my knees, my scepter falling lightly on the grass beside me, my eyes closing with hopelessness. Why would Raye protect me, a monster who is no better than those who murdered her?
Because Serena, you are not them, you are good, pure, and innocent. You are always helping those who need help. Please, my friend, don't mistake grief with evil. Now get up, meatball head and vanquish these monsters.
"Noooo, Neptune, Uranus."
My eyes flew open and I briefly saw the same evil energy rip through my Outer Scouts. No, this can't be happening. I shook my head trying to clear my mind of all the horror that had just occurred. I felt my feet move to where Neptune and Uranus were lying, unmoving. This is all my fault, I should have tried to stop that beam, why am I such a worthless princess?
"Uranus, Neptune," I whispered ", please open your eyes, you can't go, you just can't.
"Mama, Papa," Saturn murmured.
I looked up and was stunned to see tears running down the face of the Sailor Scout of Death and Destruction.
"Saturn, oh Saturn, I'm so sorry. I am so sorry." Venus and Jupiter slowly lifted the two dead Outer Scouts and gently placed them next to Mars.
"We came in with 8 and are down to 5," Mercury stated, trying to hide behind reality, but weeping because of the brutality of reality.
I could hear my friends reaching near hysterics, but none of it registered. My eyes were on Saturn. I was concerned because ever sense Mercury's statement, her eyes had dried up and go blank. The feeling of power and death began to fill and rise through the air. I slowly turned to look at the Scouts and wasn't surprised to see them looking at little Saturn.
Once again, though, all the mourning was interrupted when the 5 negaverse monsters stepped into the clearing. I felt the energy crackling all around me, as one of the monsters stepped forward, a ball of energy forming at its fingertips.
"Sailor Moon," Saturn began.
"Yes, Saturn."
"You and the remaining Scouts, plus Tuxedo Mask, are the only ones who can destroy these bastards and revenge our dead Scouts."
"I know."
"But, I can assist you with my powers to destroy. I will take down the one who is powering up, their leader, but after that, it is up to you."
Saturn's words sunk in and I realized that Saturn was going to use her power to destroy, give her life, to give the Scouts and me enough time to power up and protect Earth. A single tear drop formed and slipped down my cheek, but I knew that it was the only way to save Earth. Oh how I hated my title sometimes, especially when I had to choose Earth over the Scouts, my family. I nodded to Saturn and then turned to my Scouts and Tuxedo Mask.
"You ready Scouts, Tuxedo Mask since Raye is . . . gone we need your help to gain the necessary energy for Sailor Planet Power."
"You can always count on me, Sailor Moon," acknowledged Tuxedo Mask.
I knew that he would say that, I could always count on my scouts and my prince. My friends, Tuxedo Mask, and I all connected hands and concentrated on our energy. Behind me, I heard a roar of pain and then brilliant purple-blue lights, followed by emptiness in my heart. I knew that Saturn had just died. My heart wept with anguish, but I didn't stop with my power-up. I will avenge you my friends, I swear it on my life.
"Okay you guys, we are planet power," I shouted.
"MERCURY PLANET POWER"
"JUPITER PLANET POWER"
"VENUS PLANET POWER"
"MOON CRYSTAL POWER"
"I call upon the power of Earth, assist us in this task."
"SAILOR PLANET POWER"
All of our planet's colors added together to form one brilliant white beam. Something's wrong, I thought suddenly. We don't have enough energy to complete the attack; I felt all my energy leaving my body. Oh my dear friends, I am so sorry, I failed you. Suddenly my body felt on fire and my veins were singing with renewed energy, it felt amazing. I watched as our combined attack blasted through the remaining 4 monsters, avenging the dead Scouts. My heart bursted with joy, for I had actually came through with a promise.
I turned to look at my remaining scouts and prince, a small smile playing on my lips, but what I saw took all joy away from my life forever. Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Tuxedo Mask were lying on the cold, hard ground, dead.
***End of Flashback***
"You see, Pluto, when I felt the power surging through my body, it wasn't my 'all-powerful' energy, it was the power of the Scouts and Darien. They somehow knew that we didn't have enough energy, so as always they protected their fake, pathetic, weak princess. They gave their lives to save me, a nobody, who isn't worth anything without them."
My eyes ached with suppressed tears, which blew apart like a dam, leaving me sobbing with the immortal Sailor Scout of Time, my only and last companion.
