Serena closed her eyes, her heart ripping in two. Why did this have to happen? Why? She wasn't strong enough for this, how was she supposed to choose between her lover and child? She glanced at her child, the life she had brought into this world. Yet, the little girl was a stranger to her. Then she looked towards the large shadow standing in the dark. Her lover of the past. The father of child in the present. She couldn't even see his face or remember his name, but she knew it him. The man in her dreams ... "Endymion."
"Mommy ... we have to go ... now."
"Go ahead, Serena. Let the sacrifices of the other Senshi be in vain. It doesn't matter to you any longer does it? It matters that you be with your daughter." Usagi stepped out of the dark, standing next to the shadow of Endymion.
"That's not fair!" Her scream rang out in the empty space as she turned to look at her blonde counterpart. "Why?! Why do I have to decide between saving the world and being with my daughter!"
"I know it's not fair, but you have to decide. The fates have decided that you alone should bear the weight of the world. Now it is up to you to decide whether you stay with that destiny ... or give up."
"No, mommy don't listen to her! You love me don't you?" Sere's soft voice echoed through the space as she reached out for Serena's hand. "Mommy, don't leave me again."
"What...?" Her soft whisper broke past her lips as she turned to look at her daughter. "Leave you again ... yes, I left you years ago ... when you were a baby. I abandoned you to live a lie..."
"My love, you must decide. To live or to die. The senshi are dying. Save for Venus and she will die too. She is too weak to fight against Beryl ... as is Tuxedo Mask." Endymion spoke, stepping out from the shadow and he closed his eyes as Serena fell to her knees, sobbing. He felt Usagi's hand slip into his and he looked down at the other half of his love's soul.
Then Usagi let go of Endymion and walked towards Serena, placing a hand on the other woman's shoulder, tears streaming down her own cheeks. "We are the daughter of Chaos, created by Fate and shaped by destiny to protect the universe. Separated, we are nothing. Together, we are eternity. You have to take me back, Serena."
Serena looked up towards Usagi and stood up, stepping away from the blonde apparition. "Darien and Endymion, they are one and the same. He is the father of Serenity, my daughter. I ..." She glanced helplessly at the fading form of her three-year-old daughter. "I'm sorry, my little one." She turned away as her daughter shed tears, walking towards the light where her soul would be kept forever. "I'm so sorry..." She could feel strong arms wrap around her body and she leaned into it, sobs breaking through. "So sorry..."
"Someday, we shall see her again." Then, Serena felt her chin being lifted, tears still falling down her cheeks. A firm, but soft kiss was placed against her lips before he too disappeared. Usagi and her was all the was left.
"Will you leave me too?"
Usagi shook her head, smiling gently. "No, I am a part of you. It is up to you to decide whether I stay." She reached out her hand and Serena looked up.
"I have no choice. To save the planet." Reaching out, Serena grasped the fingers of Usagi and she could feel the soul entering her body. Wisps of it reached around her and she cried as she felt a weight being lifted off of her shoulders. She was complete now.
"Serenity, my daughter. I'm sorry ..."
"It's okay, mommy. But hurry back to me so we can play with dolls. You love me?"
"Always and forever."

Michael gripped the body of Serena and Serenity closer to him, trying to block them from the blasts. That's when he saw it, the glow coming from Serena and then she opened her eyes. "Serena!"
Sailor Moon looked up at Michael and smiled softly. "Sailor Moon. I am Sailor Moon." She looked around, watching as Tuxedo Mask and Venus fell to the floor, barely alive. Getting up quickly, she walked over to the bodies.
Venus looked up, her eyes narrowed with pain. "About time ... sorry I coudn't hold out longer."
Sailor Moon shook her head and squeezed the hand of her fellow soldier and friend as the last breath escaped from the Princess of Venus. Then bending down to Tuxedo Mask's form, she removed the mask to look into the eyes of her soul mate.
"Serena..."
"I am Princess Serenity ... the one in your dreams." She watched as his eyes widened in shock then in joy. "I'm sorry it took so long for me to arise." Clasping his hands to her chest, she wiped away the tears dripping down his face. Her own tears mingled with his as she leaned down and pressed her lips against his. The glow from her body mingled with the golden one vibrating off of him.
"I love you, Darien." She kept back her tears as he slowly smiled and closed his eyes, taking her vow as his last breath. His hand dropped from hers and she looked down where the Silver Crystal lay in her hand. She looked towards Michael and watched as a golden glow from escaped from him. A part of Darien's soul had inhabited the body of Michael and now that he was dead ... there was no reason for that soul to remain.
Beryl and Malachite had remained quiet this entire time and they had watched this strange and silent Sailor Moon. "Well, if it isn't the little brat."
Sailor Moon stood up and quickly threw a blast from her hand to Malachite. Uncaring, she watched as he flew back a few feet, his energy exploding around him. As the light disappeared, the last General lay on the floor, dead. She could hear Michael gasping for breath and she closed her eyes in despair.
Michael's grip on little girl loosened as he felt the air escaping from him. Burning light seemed to course through his body and he looked to the back of Sailor Moon's body. Then, he suddenly fell, darkness surrounding him. " ... Sailor Moon..."
"It's just you and me, Beryl." Sailor Moon had felt the deaths of the other Sailor Scouts. She was truly alone now.
Beryl sneered and shrugged, wondering at this sudden increase in self-esteem. "I don't know how you regained all your strength, but I defeated you before and I can again." Lifting her staff, she quickly sent a large amount of black energy towards the small warrior, only to watch it as it dissipated. "What?"
Lifting her hand, Sailor Moon silently called upon the power of her guardian, the Moon. "You have taken everything from me, Beryl. Now I shall take your life. Silver Crystal Super Nova!" The cry echoed throughout the dark room and light started to fill it.

"NOO!" Queen Selenity hurried towards the portal screen. "No! She'll die as well! It's the one attack that'll kill anything but it also kills the one who summoned it!"
Chronus watched silently, hating himself for not being able to do anything. "Selenity..."
"It's the end." Pluto silently cursed the fates for what they had done with her princess. "It's the end."
They watched as an explosion blasted through the negaverse, engulfing the horrified Beryl and the heartbroken Sailor Moon.

"Did you hear about that huge explosion in the arctic? Yea. It's so weird." Two girls walked past the graveyard, not noticing the cloaked figure.
The figure watched the two girls walk away, eyes filled with knowledge. Turning to look at the graves it had just visited, it bowed and started to walk away. Wrapping the black cloak closer, it shivered against the arctic wind. A single tendril of hair escaped, glistening a silver shine in the sunlight. Lilac eyes gazed up at the sky, a lone tear trailing down the face. "I am the daughter of Chaos, created by Fate and shaped by destiny to protect the universe. I am eternity."
Each grave the figure had visited held a red rose lying on it. Ten all together. Each gravestone reading "The loved of the one who was not allowed to love. The loved one of the Princess Serenity."
