Disclaimer: Same as before.

            Hello. Do you know who I am? I am Sailor Mercury, the one they referred to as the smartest in the group. That's right: "refer" is used in the past tense. You see, I was killed by Sailor Galaxia and was reborn back in good old Tokyo, Japan. I still look the same, and I've become just as smart as I was before. There are only two differences.

            1. This time I have a family.

            2. This time I don't have any friends.

            They all disappeared during the fight. I don't know what became of Sailor Moon, since she lasted longer than the other Inner Senshi. All I know is that I miss them terribly, and I want them back.

            I was never a fighter. I always believed brains overcame brawns. Besides that, I was probably the weakest of the bunch. But that never mattered to me, because I always knew my friends would be there for me.

            They're not here for me now. They're not here at all. I believe I am the only senshi left.

            How do I know I'm a senshi? I have memories of all my previous lives. I don't believe in reincarnation, since I'm not a Hindu. However, I have been reborn on more than one occasion.

            Was I reborn alone this time? Am I truly the last senshi?

            It is evident, by the presence of good on earth, that Galaxia was destroyed or defeated. It is also evident that the Sailor Starlights have either left the planet or been destroyed like I believe everyone else was.

            How horrible it must have been for Usagi, seeing her friends die one by one.

            I'm living my life in unspeakable loneliness, just like before. No one wants to hang around the smart girl. How I miss my friends, the only friends I had...

            Thinking about them makes me cry.

            But I have to be strong now, and brave.

            Because, if I'm the only one left, then it is my solemn duty to protect the universe from the hateful clutches of evil.

            This must make me a warrior.

            Me, Sailor Mercury, a warrior, a crusader.

            Imagine that.
