I don't own Sailor Moon! Okay, this is one of two endings. Tell me
which one you like the best!

Let's Start at the Very Beginning

-CHAPTER 22 B-

Serenity screamed at the sight of blood that dripped from
Endymion's body. Beryl stood transfixed, shocked at the sudden
appearance of Endymion. Endymion dropped to his knees in obvious
agony.
"No!" She shrieked. Time seemed to freeze the symbol of the
moon shown brightly on Serenity's forehead. "You won't take him
from me!" Serenity yelled as she lifted her hands, and shot a
beam of light energy towards Beryl. A bloodcurdling scream
escaped from Beryl's lips as she was thrown into the air and
then landed with a loud, sickening thud on the marble walkway
below. Serenity did not allow the fact to register that she
could have just killed someone. She turned her attention towards
Endymion. Serenity nearly smiled as she saw the look of utter
calm that only her beloved could have with a sword rammed into
his stomach.
"Endymion..." Serenity trailed off as she dropped to her
knees to be on Endymion's level.
"We're going to have to take the sword out." Endymion
gasped for breath. Serenity's face paled. "Serenity, you need to
pull the sword out of me." Endymion's face was grim.
"I have to pull it out of you? But, that could kill you.
I'm not a doctor, I don't know what I can do." Endymion gripped
both of Serenity's hands.
"I know what to do. Please, trust me." Serenity looked at
Endymion's eyes. They were set in determination, though she saw
pain in his eyes. "Stand in front of me, grasp the hilt of the
sword, and pull it out as carefully as possible. Best to go
slow." Serenity stood in front of Endymion and grasped the hilt.
"I can't do this." Serenity said panicked. "It's going to
hurt you, and I don't want to hurt you." Serenity cried.
"Sere, I'm losing too much blood already. I cannot heal
properly if I have a sword sticking out of me, and if I do not
heal myself properly, or soon for that matter, I could die."
Endymion grinded his teeth and shut his eyes. "Pull it out in a
straight line as slow as need be to make a clean cut." Endymion
commanded. Setting her face, Serenity slowly pulled the sword.
Serenity's hands shook as Endymion took a sharp intake of
breath. Calming herself so that she did not cut Endymion any
worse with her unsteady hands, Serenity pulled the sword
completely out of Endymion's body. She only had a moment to be
proud of herself as Endymion fell to the cold marble of the
balcony.
"Endymion?!" Serenity shrieked as she knelt down beside her
beloved. His eyes were closed, and he looked almost as if he
could be asleep. "No..." Serenity cried. She put her hand in
front of Endymion's face. She could not feel his breath. "No..."
Serenity's hands shook as she started to free Endymion of his
armor. She needed to find his heart beat. It was torture for
Serenity as she struggled to free Endymion from his armor. It
took her at least three minutes before she reached his tunic.
Serenity nearly fainted when she saw the extent of Endymion's
wound. Shaking her head, Serenity focused only on finding
Endymion's heart beat. She tore the tunic that he wore beneath
his armor. Serenity pressed her ear to his chest in hopes to
find a heart beat, but she couldn't find one. She tried to
remember other places that one could find a person's heartbeat.
His wrist. Nothing. His neck. Nothing. Her tears flowed freely
as she tried to touch Endymion's mind. Nothing. Serenity
screamed. Her mother had never taught her how to heal wounds.
"I killed him..." Serenity whispered to herself. Without
thinking properly, Serenity's eyes laid upon the sword soaked
with Endymion's blood. She kissed Endymion's lips before she
grasped the sword and put the tip of it to her stomach. A golden
light flashed from behind her.
"Sere?" Endymion's voice croaked from behind her. In utter
disbelief, Serenity let the sword drop and clatter to the
ground.
"Endy?" She spun around. Endymion sat up. His wound had
vanished. Serenity launched herself into Endymion's arms.
"Endymion." Serenity cried before fainting into Endymion's
arms.
"Serenity." Endymion caught Serenity in his arms. He looked
down at himself. "What happened to my tunic?" Endymion wondered.
-In Another Part of the Palace-
With Beryl's death, the earth troops no longer did as she
commanded. They stopped fighting against each other. The
generals and senshi embraced, with the generals apologizing
profusely.
"Lita, I am so sorry." Nephlite apologized.
"It wasn't your fault." Lita kissed Nephlite hungrily.
"Amy, what have I done?" Zoisite cried.
"You couldn't have prevented it." Amy argued.
"Mina, I'm ashamed of myself." Malachite confessed.
"I know you didn't want to." Mina said as they embraced.
"Raye, forgive me?" Jedite pleaded.
"Of course." Raye threw herself into Jedite's arms. "Can't
breath Raye." Jedite croaked as Raye hugged him tightly.
-On Earth-
An attack had been made on Atlantis. However, during the
middle of the battle, Beryl's warriors suddenly vanished. A
cheer erupted from the people defending the earth. Queen Gaia
and King Terrance smiled to each other. They knew that Beryl had
been killed.
-On the Balcony on the Moon-
Serenity's eyes fluttered opened to be greeted with the
sight of Endymion, who was holding her in his arms. He had
brought her to the edge of the balcony where she could look over
the palace and see that her people were recovering from their
shock, and that his people were themselves again. The damage on
the palace was minimum and fixable.
"We won." Endymion whispered before taking Serenity's lips
into a heated kiss. Setting her down gently, Endymion wrapped
his arms around her waist.
"I love you." Endymion said between butterfly kisses.
"I love you so much." Serenity hugged Endymion fiercely. "I
thought that I had killed you." Serenity whispered as an
onslaught of new tears began. Endymion cupped Serenity's face,
"I had to stop my body's functions to the bare minimum so
that the blood stopped flowing from my wounds. But Serenity..."
His voice trailed off as the image of Serenity holding the sword
to her stomach flooded his vision. "You would have killed
yourself." He said, holding her closer to him. Serenity tried to
look away, but Endymion held her face firmly but gently as he
wiped away her tears.
"I can't live without you." Serenity's eyes locked onto
his. Endymion wanted to yell at her, but he knew that he would
have done the same thing if their places had been switched. He
didn't even want to think what would have happened if he hadn't
healed himself in time to stop Serenity from killing herself.
Serenity heard his thoughts and felt ashamed of herself.
"I will never leave you without a fight, trust me."
Endymion kissed her. Serenity ran her hands through Endymion's
hair and onto his bare chest. 'What happened to my tunic?'
Endymion asked through their link. 'I tried checking for your
heartbeat.' Serenity sent back. 'Oh.' Was the only thing that
Serenity heard before being swept up in their combined emotions.
"She's dead now?" Queen Serenity's voice broke the couple
apart.
"Yes." Serenity said. She found comfort as Endymion wrapped
his arms around her. She had killed a living person. 'Sere, she
would have killed you and everyone else if you hadn't killed
her, and I would have done so myself if I had been able to.'
'I know.' She responded. Endymion felt the turmoil that
Serenity was going through. He cupped her face in his hands.
"You saved my life, and everyone else's. Sometimes the
consequences of doing what are right are the worst kind, but we
have to move on. Please, don't dwell on it." Endymion begged
her. Queen Serenity seemed to realize that Serenity had been the
one that had killed Beryl.
"What happens in life, only makes us stronger if it does
not kill us first." Queen Serenity quoted the old proverb.
Endymion stroked Serenity's hair absently.
"Come on you two. I've been helping with the wounded below,
but I think I had better make sure that you two go and rest."
Queen Serenity urged. Endymion would have protested, but
Serenity silenced him with a thought. 'You were wounded. You are
not going to loose any more of your energy healing others when
you are so very weak.' Serenity said. She also didn't want to
see Beryl's body when they brought her among the dead. Endymion
consented to Serenity's wishes.
They headed off to Serenity's room in silence.
-Two Months Later, in Atlantis-
Malachite patted Endymion on the shoulder as they waited in
Endymion's room. He wore black and gold armor, and a cape that
was black with silver lining on the inside.
"Nervous?" Malachite asked Endymion as he fidgeted with his
cape. All the generals wore black and gold armor, similar to
Endymion's, but not as elaborate.
"What do you think?" Endymion asked.
"Obviously, he's getting married today." Nephlite grinned.
"You'll be fine." Zoisite encouraged.
"Besides, you're going to get laid to-" Malachite whacked
Jedite upside the head. Endymion blushed brilliantly.
"Is that all that goes through your head?" Zoisite asked.
"Pretty much." Jedite shrugged. King Terrance entered his
son's room. With one look, the generals knew that he wanted to
be alone with Endymion.
"Nervous?" King Terrance asked as Endymion fidgeted with
his cape again.
"Why is everyone asking me that?" Endymion questioned.
"Because you look it." Terrance smiled. Endymion sighed.
"You and Serenity are perfect for each other." Terrance
reassured Endymion.
"Thank you." Endymion smiled, and stopped fidgeting with
his cape. Terrance looked over his son.
"Endymion, you are going to be an excellent husband and
father. You and Serenity will be great rulers. Without you,
three kingdoms would be perished." Terrance said. "I am proud of
you." The father and son pair embraced.
-In Serenity's Room-
"I'm getting married in less than an hour!" Serenity said
excitedly. She twirled around in her silvery white dress. Her
hair was done in the traditional hairstyle that belonged to the
royals of the moon.
"You look beautiful." Queen Serenity said, looking at her
gorgeous daughter.
"I'm getting a daughter today." Queen Gaia smiled.
"Look what we have for you!" The younger senshi burst into
Serenity's room.
"Something old." Mina handed her bracelet. "Your mother let
my mother borrow this at her wedding. You get to keep this."
Mina said brightly as Serenity looked at the silver bracelet
that had small crescent moons of pure diamond on her wrist.
"I was wondering what I had done with that. That must have
been at one of your mother's weddings years ago." Queen Serenity
said thoughtfully, remembering the fact that her friends had
been married many times, and trying to remember to which one.
"Something new." Raye handed Serenity new silver gloves.
"Something borrowed." Lita put a necklace of pearls.
"Something blue." Amy handed Serenity a bouquet of
aquamarine water flowers, a very rare flower from the planet of
Mercury.
"Thank you!" Serenity cried as she embraced her friends.
"May I talk to Serenity alone?" Queen Gaia asked. Everyone
nodded and left silently.
"Queen Gaia?" Serenity questioned.
"You don't need to call me by that anymore." Gaia smiled at
her soon to be daughter-in-law.
"How about 'Mother Earth'?" Serenity asked, remembering
that that was what Endymion called.
"That would be perfect. I wanted to give this to you." Gaia
handed Serenity a beautiful book with gold bindings. The words
"The One You Love" were engraved on the cover.
"It's beautiful." Serenity breathed.
"It's been passed to the women of Atlantis since Atlantis
was first built. It's yours now." Serenity hugged Gaia. Serenity
felt accepted into both families.
-At the Wedding Ceremony-
Serenity and Endymion looked at each other as they stood up
in front of three kingdoms and read their vows. A cheer errupted
from the crowd as the two kissed. Their marriage represented
peace to many.
"I love you." Serenity smiled.
"Forever and always." Endymion responded. They kissed
again, sealing all of their vows. The galaxy had never seen two
kinder rulers.
