The Sailor Senshi moved as one against their enemy, and with one
fluid movement, the battle was over.
The youma turned to dust and the senshi powered down.

"Good job guys," Usagi spoke. "I think that was the last one."

"Well I hope so," Minako exclaimed. "It's well past midnight."

"I'm so tired." Chibi-Usa said with a yawn.

"So much for our night off." Michiru smiled.

"We have got to find out where they are all coming from." Luna
spoke up.

"Tomorrow." Usagi leaned against the tree they stood beneath.
"All I want to do now, is go home to bed."

The other Senshi nodded in agreement. It had been a long night and
they were all worn out.

"Tomorrow then." Rei spoke.

With that, the senshi split up and went their separate ways.
In the darkness, no one noticed the figure that perched in the tree's
branches.

She sat silently, and watched them battle.

'They are quite skilled.' she thought to herself. 'Like my Senshi
once were.'

she focused her attention upon Sailor Moon and a tear rolled down her
cheek.

'I had a team once too.' she shut her eyes.

There was no denying it, she missed her old life. Her friends, her family,
her fighters. She opened her eyes again just in time to see the youma get
dusted. The fighters powered down and stood directly below her.
She listened to their conversation and watched as they left to go home.
For awhile, she just sat there thinking. She then rose without
a sound. She leapt from treetop to treetop, until she vanished over the
horizon; her fuku blowing in the wind and her tears marking her path.
