The End of the Beginning That Is the End

Chapter One: The Truth Will Set You Free
****************************************
I don't understand how things got so out of control. One day, I was having lunch with three of my best friends in the entire world, the next, they were turning their backs on me along with another friend I considered a sister. After all I had done for them, all I had done for him, it was tossed to the wind without a thought.
*Flashback*
"Please don't make this any harder then it needs to be. It didn't have to be this way, you know. You brought in on yourself. If only you had tried to be the tsuki no hime, then maybe...then maybe Mamoru-san could have loved you. He has a theory that maybe Serenity's soul accidentally got transferred to Rei-chan and that only Sailor Moon remains in you. We're not really sure about that...well, yet any ways. Rei-chan seems to think it's true enough."
"Ami....you don't think that's true do you...? I mean, you've all seen me transform into the tsuki no hime before. And I can use the silver crystal...."
"I really don't know. Like I said, it's only a theory. Maybe you got her power, but Rei-chan has her soul. Usagi, there's more. Rei-chan and Mamoru-san have been....seeing each other."
"I gathered that."
"No, I mean, there's more to it. Minako-chan said that Rei-chan and Mamoru-san have been seeing each other. Do you know what I'm saying?"
"Oh kami..."
"So they sent me to get the crystal and to....."
"What, Ami, what else do they want?"
"They want you to give up your title as Sailor Moon and just give it to Chibi-usa."
"I just want to know one thing, Ami. Why you? Why Mako-chan, why Minako-chan?"
"Because...becuase we want to do what's best for Earth....and Rei-chan might just be the leader that it needs."
"Fine. But I can't...won't hand over the crystal. They have Chibi-Usa for that. Why do they need mine....."
"Because her crystal is from the future and can only be activated in the future. But she can use yours."
"No! It's a part of my soul! That can't just take it..."
"Usagi, think of all the people on Earth that need the crystal's help. You can't just forsake them!"
"You're right. I can't forsake them."
"Then....."
"I'm going."
"Going where?"
"To where the forsaken take refuge. I'll go to them."
"Usagi!!! Come back!!!!"
*End Flashback*
Too bad they forgot one important factor of Chibi-usa. She's my daughter.
*Flashback*
"What do you mean she disappeared?"
"Exactly that. With you gone from Mamoru, the future was altered. In that future, there is no Chibi-usa. She is wiped from history."
"Then what are they going to do? They have no one to yield the crystal anymore. Even if I gave them the crystal, they couldn't use it."
"I don't know. I don't think that they have any leads on you. As long as you're not Sailor Moon, Mercury's computer can't get a secure lock on you. There's a loop hole though. You can use disguise power to become any other senshi you can think of and she won't know it."
"Why?"
"Because since you're not the real senshi, the magical signature won't be there for it to grab on to."
"Setsuna.....is it true what she said? I'm not the real tsuki no hime?"
"Of course not!!! Mamoru just wants to justify his immoral relationship with Rei and will use any lame excuse."
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I never wanted to be the damn tsuki no hime. I used to cry, scream and kick about it...but the minute it was threatened, I wanted it fiercely. Does that make me a hypocrite?"
"*Chuckle* Not in the least Hime. Nobody wants to give up what's in their soul, what's a part of them. And they shouldn't have to."
"Thank you Pluto no hime."
"Tsuki no hime."
"Pluto no hime."
"Tsuki...oh forget it! Let's go."
"End Flashback*
And that was the end of the beginning that is the end.
