The moon rose high in the night sky. The creamy white color of its fullness contrasted greatly against the black sky. The pale moonlight shone down on a lone figure. The wind blew her blonde hair across her face. A single tear rolled down her face as she turned to her fallen friends.   

            "I never meant for this to happen to you. I thought I could protect you." she whispered softly, "I'm sorry"

            A soft glow surrounded her body and spread to cover the dead bodies of her friends. They shimmered for minutes before fading into the air. The blonde stared at the bloody battlefield. The marks of blood were the only reminder of the battle that took place only minutes ago. She closed her eyes again and her battle wounds disappeared, leaving only faint scars. Her ripped and torn dress faded into a pair of cutoff shorts and a pink halter top.

            She summonded her power one last time and transported herself back to her room. A black cat stared up at her. The cat's sharp eyes saw the scars on her arms and legs and she jumped up on the bed. The blonde sat beside her and tried to hold back the tears.

            "Usagi-san? What happened? Did we win?" the cat asked.

            Tsukino Usagi looked at her cat Luna, "Hai, we won. But at a great cost."

            "Nani?" Luna looked carefully in the Moon Princess's eye and saw sadness, pain, and disbelief, "Usagi-san, what happened? Where is everyone?"

            The tears fell freely now as she took a shuddering breathe and answered, "They are dead, Luna-chan."

            Luna yowled in reaction and stared up at Usagi. Tear rushed to Luna's eyes and rolled down her face. The black cat crawled in her mistress's lap and rubbed her head against her hand. Usagi gave the cat a sorrowful pat and curled up on her bed to cry her friends away.

            The tears fell more freely now as the sobs racked her body. Luna curled up next to her head and purred, trying to ease the pain. Usagi didnt hear her through her tears. Soon her pillow was soaked. She sat up when her tears ran dry. Her throat was soar and she was tired. SHe picked Luna up and cuddle her as she went to the bathroom to wash her face. 

            "Oh Luna-chan, what will we do without the others. I miss them already." Usagi cried.

            Luna sighed and shook her head, "I do not know Usagi-san but we will find a way I promise. You have defeated the Mistress of Destruction. I dont think there will be anymore enemies."

            "Yes hopefully there will b no more enemies." Usagi said with a sigh. She and Luna walked to her bed. As Usagi laid there, mourning over her friends, a single tear slipped out.

            Miles away, a pair of dark eyes stared at a crystal. The figure in the crystal was a petite blonde with her hair done up on organdos and streamers. Tears flowed down her face as she held her cat. The eyes narrowed and glinted with evil. A low seductive voice spoke, "You might have defeated my sister Sailor Moon, but I am a Goddess and you will not beat me, for i am Bethany, Goddes of War and Death."
