The Negamonster, which had fired the beam of energy at Serena, produced itself, just as Sailor Venus had commanded it to do. It looked human, but with skin as blue as someone who was dead. She had hair that was green, and her eyes were black and soulless. "As you wish, Sailor Venus." Her voice was enough to make anyone's heart stop beating. The Negamonster looked around and then focused on Serena. "Why, hello Sailor Moon."
Serena looked around, looking for the missing Sailor Scout. When her back was turned, the monster fired a beam at her. "Serena! No!" A man in a tuxedo lunged forward and took the shot. Both Serena and Tuxedo Mask flew into the lake. Serena screamed, and both of them started sinking to the bottom.
"Oh no!" Sailor Mercury began running towards the lake, but the Negamonster blocked her.
"I do not think so." The Negamonster lifted her finger, preparing to attack.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Sailor Mercury hit the Negamonster with her attack, and the monster froze partially. "Sailor Scouts! Take care of her while I get Serena and Tuxedo Mask out!" The Sailor Scouts nodded in compliance. Sailor Mercury dove into the deep lake so that she could rescue her friends.
"Jupiter Thunder Crash!" Sailor Jupiter flung a lightning bolt at the Negamonster, but the monster freed itself in time, and the bolt zoomed right past.
"It won't work if we attack randomly! We need to combine our powers!" Everyone nodded in agreement of Sailor Mars's suggestion.
"We need to wait for Sailor Mercury, though!" As if right on cue, Sailor Mercury dragged Serena and Tuxedo Mask out of the lake. She set them down gently and then ran back to the battlefield.
"Did someone say we need to combine our powers?"
"Yes! Join hands now!"
Everyone clasped their hands together and then nodded slightly. "Mars Star Power!"
"Venus Star Power!"
"Jupiter Star Power!"
"Mercury Star Power!"
"Scout Power!" They said the last part in unison. A ball of energy formed around the Sailor Scouts and then shot towards the Negamonster. The Negamonster fired a beam and the two forces were fighting against one another. The Scout Energy, and the Negamonster energy were fighting, at first the Sailor Scouts had the surpassing strength, but soon the Negamonster's beam began inching closer and closer to the circle the Sailor Scouts had formed. We need Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars thought.
"Serena, Sailor Moon, you have to remember! They need your help," Tuxedo Mask said weakly. Serena looked at the young man. "I… I don't know what to do. This all seems so familiar."
"That's because it is, Serena. You are Sailor Moon, you are the Moon Princess, the future Neo-Queen." Tuxedo Mask's mask had been washed away by the water, so Serena recognized this man in the cape as Darien, the person who had been in the hospital room the day she regained consciousness. Darien slowly reached into his pocket and produced a little star locket. He opened the locket and it started playing a mystifying, and so familiar tune. "Please, Serena. Remember our love. Remember your destiny." Tuxedo Mask stood up. The Scouts were in danger, they needed him. He gently gave Serena the locket and then ran over to the battlefield. He lunged towards the monster, but the monster turned and focused on him. A beam of black energy shot out of its eyes, hitting Darien in the chest, killing him instantly.
"Darien! No!" Serena stood up, but then she held her head. It was aching unbearably. Memories began flooding her mind. She remembered everything. She remembered the Silver Millennium. She remembered Rini. She remembered Queen Serenity, her mother. She remembered being Sailor Moon. "I remember!" As soon as she said that, the other Scouts rejoiced, which took their concentration off of the Negamonster's power they were deflecting with their own power. The beam weakened enough for the Negamonster's energy to burst through, and hit them all. It surrounded them and it burned severely. Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus screamed in pain. They flew backwards and were knocked unconscious.
"Noooo! Moon Crystal Power!" She transformed into Sailor Moon and then glared at the Negamonster. "I am Sailor Moon! Champion of love and justice! I will not stand for you hurting my friends! In the name of the moon, you will be punished!"
"I have been waiting for this, Sailor Moon. You will not be able to beat me. I will kill you, just as I killed your little boyfriend!"
Sailor Moon gasped and glanced over at Tuxedo Mask. He was not stirring, she could not even see his chest rising and falling. He really was dead. Tears stung at her eyes. Her true love was gone. "You will pay dearly for that, you bastard Negamonster." There was a wrath and pain in her voice that had never been heard before.
"Moon Scepter Elimination!" She shot the beam of energy at the Negamonster, but it was no match. Sailor Moon realized this. "Please, Silver Crystal. Lend me the power to defeat this monster." Tears were streaming down Sailor Moon's face. The crystal began glowing, and Sailor Moon felt new power coursing through her veins. Sailor Moon began to rise up from the power, and then a burst of pure white energy came out of the scepter and crystal, and it combined into one powerful beam. The monster gasped as it got hit in the chest, and then it flew back. Sailor Moon made the beam stronger with concentration, and with all of her pain and anger. The Monster began crumbling, and it died. Sailor Moon ran to the fallen Sailor Scouts. None of them were moving. Slowly, their suits flickered and disappeared. They were in their regular clothes. That was not a good sign. "Amy! Lita! Mina! Raye!" Serena tried to wake them up, but it was not working.
"Sailor Moon…" It was Raye. Serena crawled over to her. "Sailor Moon, we're dying." Her voice was weak, a whisper.
"No… no, you're not."
"We love you." Raye gasped for breath, and she was trembling with the effort to stay alive.
"I love you, too." Sailor Moon's voice choked with tears. She took Raye into her arms and hugged her tightly. Raye hugged back weakly, and then went limp. She was dead. "No," Serena exclaimed. She began sobbing uncontrollably. Her friends, her future husband, were dead. There was nothing that could be done. Sailor Moon's suit disappeared and she crawled around to all of her friends, checking for signs of life. There were none to be found.
