Last Victim

Serenity sighed as she looked towards the darkened earth from the star balcony. She remembered standing here in the very same spot the day Endymion and herself had died in the silver millennium so many years ago. She'd seen her past, her own present as it was happening, and she'd seen into the future. She knew what was to come out of the many years of darkness. Chibi Usa, Crystal Tokyo, the peace that was to last forever. She tensed, there was a darkness moving slowly through the palace, she'd sensed it earlier but it would go away for a while, but now it was stronger, and a lot closer than it had been a few hours ago. She wondered if any of the other senshi could sense it. She turned around and tried to focus her energy on the dark energy that she sensed, she had to be prepared for it, she could not allow it to enter any further into the palace where the ginzouishou was placed. Against Luna's command, she had left the crystal in the center of the palace, rather than keeping it on herself for protection. With the senshi in the palace and Endymion, she had nothing to be afraid of. That was when she saw it, it was a dark energy that seemed to float in a hazy fog, yet it had glowing green eyes. It had no form, yet she knew what it could do. If she let it enter her, she may be able to fight it in her mind, but it was only a guess. Hesitantly she held a hand out to see if she could sense more about the evil entity. It was cold, so very cold, much like the dark haze that covered the earth. As soon as her hand was up the fog leapt forward and ripped through her body. It felt like a cold fire was purging through her body. The pain was so great she clutched her stomach and screamed the only sound that had been heard from one of the entity's victims. He was determined not to let this one succeed in defeating him. This one would be trapped in the darkness of their own fears.
