I began to see black at the edges of my vision. I knew that any minute now I could die, but for some reason it didn't bother me. As the darkness invaded my sight I realized that this was the moment of truth. I either had to hurt my friends to save myself or die in the hands of Sailor Mars against her bedroom wall at the age of 15.

Out of the blue images began to come to me. They were images of the good times that I had had with my friends and family. I remembered the times I had spent with Naru and Umino: When we had gone to the park, the movies, and all sorts of shows and exhibits. I could feel the tears begin to fall down my face. The salty substance reminded me of how I had deserted them, how it has almost been a month since I talked to either one of them.

Slowly the images changed to my family. When we had gone to the beach, or the Hot Springs, and our family vacations. I remembered how Shingo used to look up to me when we were younger and how, when necessary, he still looks up to me. I remembered how he idolizes the Sailor Scouts and it occurred to me, these are not the people I want someone to look up to.

That's when I made my decision. I would give Shingo and the rest of the world someone that they can look up to and it would be me. I noticed that I couldn't do that if I died here so I started to fight back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

POV Mars no Senshi

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I can't believe this is so easy. I knew Odango Atama was weak but this is pathetic. You would think she actually wanted to die. That's exactly what Serenity said she wanted. She said that she wanted to die and for the rest of the world to die with her. I can't believe we fell for this baka's act. I don't know how we could have. We are suppose to be the best and we knew Princess Serenity was nothing like this klutz. She is so pitiful. How could we have not realized it sooner? I remember when Serenity walked in. I didn't believe her at first, but when she showed us the future..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flashback (still POV Mars) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ We were all here at my house except for Usagi. I knew she would be late so we were just sitting around eating. There was a knock at the door and I got up to answer it. When I opened the door there was a girl behind it. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. At first I thought it was Usagi but then I realized that her eyes were too dark and she was too tall to be Usagi.

"Can I help you?" I asked carefully.

'Yes, I think you can." She stated. Her voice was smooth and beautiful. I was surprised to find myself comparing her to Usagi again. I thought of how squeaky Usagi's voice was and I wished Usagi's voice was more like this girl's.

"Come in then." I replied thinking nothing much of her.

She walked to the middle of the room and I noticed that she had an amazing amount of grace. She began to speak, "My name is Serenity, Serenity Lunhim, and I need you, my Senshi. Our world is in grave danger from a traitor amongst us. She is not present in this room but you all know her."

By now we were all standing and gazing at this person. We could tell she was speaking of Usagi when she spoke. We didn't mention it though; we just let her talk.

"She must be eliminated. She is a danger to the entire Earth. She has lied to us all and that cannot be forgiven. She is not and never will be the princess you sought out so long ago." Said Serenity.

"How would you know if Usagi was the princess and how did you know that we were the Sailor Senshi?" questioned Minako.

"I know because I am and was Princess Serenity." She stated.

"Liar!" replied Makoto. "Why do you expect us to believe that you are the princess and what proof do you have that Usagi isn't?" Ami quietly quarried.

In response to Ami's question Serenity said, "Have you never wondered why Usagi never seems to act like the princess of the moon from so long ago? Do you really think it is possible for a person to change that much just because they died? Even if she was reborn, what could cause her to lose her natural grace and talents? She is a fake, a phony. I am your princess. I am the rightful heir to the Earth and Moon thrones. I can prove to you that Usagi will only lead this world to ruins. In the future she will cause the world to become a frozen waist land. Everything will be encased in crystal, all humans and living beings. Everything."

"You said you could prove it so start proving." I replied. She had just stated all of my reasons for not believing Usagi to be the princess. I had asked myself the same questions many a nights. I must admit, I was beginning to trust and believe her.

Serenity nodded her head in a sharp jagged motion and held out one of her hands. Sparkling purple and black lights appeared in her grasp. A staff began to solidify in her outstretched hand. On top was a dark in color orb about the size of your head. Inside of the orb where lights that danced and reflected off of each other as well as cloud-like mists. The body of the staff was a magnificent black that seemed to swallow all light. It was not reflective. The staff was slender and had no engravings on it except for the top part. The staff looked slick and I was sure that if one of us tried to hold it, it would slip right through our fingers.

Serenity smiled and said, "This is the Staff of Selene. It can only be held by one of her direct descendants." When she said this she looked at me. "It has the power to see into the past and the future but cannot show the present. Watch." Serenity commanded and we all instantly did as told.

Serenity took the orb off the top of the staff with both hands and said 'Selene, my mother, show my friends the current future for the planet Earth, 3003 Anno Domini (1)!"

Winds began to pick up. The wind swirled around us; it was so fast that I had to close my eyes. When the wind stopped I opened them and we were inside of Serenity's orb. Her voice invaded my thoughts. 'This is what will happen if the world keeps going on the path chosen by Usagi.'

I looked around.

All around us there was ice. I touched it and it was cold. An involuntary shiver passed over me. All of the plants and wild life where frozen in the ice. We were transported to our houses. I walked up to the Hikawa Shrine and saw my worst nightmare. There was Grandpa frozen stiff in his uniform and a sheet. He looked to be lost in time. A single moment that he will never get out of. Next to him on the ground were Phobos and Demos.

I could feel the tears sting my eyes. I wouldn't let them fall for fear of them freezing, so I held them in.

I walked inside of the Shrine to my bedroom. I was lying in bed, frozen. I walked up to my future self and just stared. How could this happen? How could the world possibly freeze with us just sleeping? The answer came to me quickly. Usagi. She knew this was coming. All of a sudden I was transported again.

I found myself in Usagi's bedroom. All of the others appeared soon after. They too had tears in their eyes and some frozen on their faces, and there was Usagi, sitting on her bed, smiling. She looked so happy.

I felt a rage begin to build inside of me. How could she be happy when my grandfather was lying in the snow cold and frozen?

'She wanted this Mars' Serenity whispered. 'She wanted to die and the rest of the world to die along with her.

The fury I felt at that moment could never be accomplished again. I was ready to kill; I wanted to kill. I needed to kill Usagi. She will cause the death of my grandfather; she had to be destroyed.

I looked around at my fellow senshi. I could see the raging inferno of fury swelling within their hearts and they could see it in mine. In that instance we all agreed; Usagi had to die or we would die trying to kill her. There was no way around it.

End flashback (Usagi POV)

I was squirming in Mars no Senshi's grasp. I still couldn't breath and I could barely see. I had to get free. I had to be a good role model for Shingo. An image of my family crying at my funeral appeared in my mind. I opened my eyes and glared at Sailor Mars. "Let me go!" I gasped out. All around me was darkness. Everyone in the room was nothing but a shadow. I found myself praying to every god and goddess I knew for help. I only had one goal, live.

My time was almost out. I had to do something but what? I was suffocating. Out of no where light came. I couldn't see where from because everything was still black. I felt Mars let go of my neck. I could hear screaming in the distance. I fell to the ground with a thud. I laid there for a minute just regaining my breath. Once I could see again I stood up. All of the scouts were on the ground.

They were staring at me. I looked around for the source of the light. I found it. It was me. I smirked as the scouts stood up. I motioned them to bring it on.

I transformed in a flash of light to my eternal state. Still smirking I took to the air. I went outside of Rei's bedroom via roof. I flew to the park with the scouts following me on foot. I landed in the middle of the park. I waited.

Not to long after the scouts came running into my clearing. The smirk I had been warring turned upside down into a sneer. They all got into a battle stance and I followed suite. They all came running toward me fists raised.

I ran right back at them. My actions must have surprised them for they all scattered and I chose a victim.

I set my sights on Jupiter, I needed to warm up a bit I told myself with a small laugh and the fight began.

Jupiter and I looked each other up and down. Her first plan of attack was a punch to my head. I countered with my leg knocking her arm down and kicking her in the head during the process. I jumped over her as she tried to knock me off balance with a leg sweep. I stepped on her back to help me get over her and she was flattened on the ground.

Jupiter stood up slowly favoring her right arm. She glared at me and charged. I dodged left and she fell over. I stepped over and waited for her to stand again. Once she was up I punched her in the stomach hard. I did it three more times then once in the head. She went down for the count.

I stalked over to Sailor Venus and Mercury. It seemed that they wanted to fight me together. I nodded to them. They glared at me and I think I heard Mercury growl. Mercury stayed behind as Venus made her first move. She used her Love and Beauty Shock technique thinking it would stop me. I conjured up my staff and used it to reflect her powers back at her. Her attack hit my target dead on. Venus fell to the ground in a heap.

Mercury ran to her side and helped her stand. They stood side by side facing me. Mercury sent out her fog thinking it would stop me. I looked around for a moment. I couldn't see them. Well if I can't see them then they can't see me I decided. I flew above the fog and looked around. There they were. Running in the fog holding hands so they wouldn't loose each other. I watched as Mercury's VR Visor found me in the sky. It was too late. I had sent my attack at them already. (2) "Starlight Moon Therapy!" I had yelled just moments before. They must not have been able to hear it because of the dense fog surrounding them. Oh well. They fell only yards from where Jupiter was.

"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I jumped. I turned to my left there was Mars. She was crying. I felt my heart break. 'She's crying for them. I bet she wouldn't have cried for me.' I told myself. My heart mended itself. I could feel the cold gleam in my eyes. That gleam was reflected back in hers.

"Your all alone Mars Senshi." I whispered out. "No one can help you now."

She looked up at me. She climbed to her feet in that motion realizing how close I was. I smiled laughing on the inside at the fear I could see. "My princess will save us all, you have yet to defeat her." She replied with ice in her voice even though it was wavering slightly. "We shall see." I said feeling confidant in myself.

She stood in her battle stance, shaking in her high heals. She was truly a pathetic sight to see. The word brave came to mind as I watched her. "Well come on then." She said.

I prepared myself. I was winded and tired. This was taking a lot out of me. I had never fought all of my scouts before. It was hard.

Mars lunged at me her fists raised. She put fire on her arms to stop me from blocking them. I dodged left so she punched me with her right. I gave her a bruise on her jaw in the same fashion. I ran at her, hands raised. I took off my tiara and threw it at her. It sliced into her stomach causing a gruesome gash. She fell to the ground as blood pooled out around her. My tiara on its return run hit her in the arm. She screamed in pain. I could feel myself getting sick. She was staring at me with ghostly eyes. Empty, that's how she looked.

I didn't hear her gasp out her attack phrase. I didn't see her through the fire arrow at me. I just felt it hit my side. I looked down and there it was. A burning arrow was imbedded in my side. Blood came out of the wound. I grabbed the arrow and tried to pull it out. The fire burnt my gloves but I pulled any way. It came out quickly but not painlessly. I healed the wound to the best of my abilities.

Then I went to Mars. She had fainted from blood loss some time ago. She had de-transformed and was now just Rei. My old best friend. I couldn't stand the pain in my heart. She was practically dead and it was all my fault. I knelt over her and put my hands on her stomach wound. I slowly healed it. I could feel my energy leaving me. When I knew she would be able to live a looked around. All of my former friends where there. All of them were completely unconscious.

I could hear my tears falling on the pavement. I knew they would be all right, I just wondered what they would tell the authorities when they were found. With that thought I teleported home into my bed.

When I fell asleep my last thought was 'I need to leave these memories behind. I should go somewhere else'



(1)AD stands for Anno Domini, which in Latin, means in the year of our lord.

(2)I just think that Starlight HoneyMoon Therapy Kiss sounds stupid.

(3) Usagi is fifteen but we haven't had SMR yet.

(4) She has her Eternal transformation now because I like it.

I think that is it but if you find something else I messed with let me know.
