I finally get out a new chapter hope you guys like it please review and as always I don't own Sailor Moon!

The man standing over Usagi couldn't be Endy, she wouldn't, couldn't believe that the love of her life would attack her. She knew her dad could take one person and with a spell could make them look like anyone they wanted. The thing was, they had to have something of that person, and Usagi didn't want to think of Beryl having anything of Endy's. There was only one thing that a person could not change magically or not and that was the soul. The man struck again, but Usagi easily defended herself. The man pulled a sword on Usagi and tried to get killing blow in; Usagi closed her eyes and concentrated on a picture of what she wanted. In her hand, her sword appeared. She gave blow for blow, strike for strike. She had several opportunities to end the fight, give the final blow but Usagi couldn't bring herself to do it, she couldn't get past the face. Usagi went up to block a down strike but couldn't hold her position, soon she found her sword pinned on the ground. She looked up to see a fist coming right at her face; Usagi fell back to the ground with a sword point at her throat. "Who are you?"

The man gave an evil sneer, "I'm your executioner sent by the Queen of Darkness herself."

"Let me see who you really are." Usagi had to stall hopefully help would be sent soon. Usagi closed her eyes and let out a silent prayer, "father please help me." The man above her was changing, no longer did he have rich, black hair but a dirty blonde, no longer did he have deep, dark blue eyes, but a dull gray, no longer did he have the chiseled, god-like features, but a rounder, bigger face. His body changed also, he became bigger, bulkier, and chubbier.

"Are you pleased with what you see?" Usagi felt pressure on her neck then felt blood trickling down her skin, then nothing. She looked up to see a shocked expression on the mans face and a sword protruding from his chest. Usagi rolled the man off her and looked to see her savior; Minako held out her hand and helped Usagi up.

"Thank you, I owe you my life."

"I don't know what made me look for you; it was like you were calling me almost." Usagi silently thanked her dad. She looked around to the damage, most of the country side was scorched but the people were healed. Usagi looked over to see Rei running towards them, "Usagi there's trouble, Beryl is fighting with the guys, they need help."

"Let's go."

The sailor scouts found the men tired and falling. Kunzite and Endymion were the only two left standing. Another black blast from Beryl and Kunzite fell. The girls immediately went into action. Ami and Makota went over to the fallen men and dragged them to the edge and started tending to their wounds. Rei and Minako took up their weapons and tried to get an edge on Beryl.

"You think you can stop me. I am evil, I am darkness, nothing can beat me."

"Darkness is always cut down by the light of day and everyone knows evil always looses."

"Did you like my gift princess? I can see he failed, but you can make sure that I won't!"

Usagi, walked over to stand before Beryl, beside Endymion. She looked over and saw blood trailing down his face from a cut on his head; sweat covered his body, exhaustion evident. She concentrated and found the link she shared with Endy, "rest love let me try for awhile." Before he had a chance to respond, Usagi hurled a ball of energy at Beryl.

"You will pay for that brat!" Beryl collected a ball of black energy and aimed it towards Usagi. Usagi closed her eyes focusing her energy on her defense shields, waiting for the blast to come.

"NO!! Usako!" Usagi popped open her eyes and looked beside her to the falling Endymion. She falls to her knees by his side, "don't you leave me, you can't; I love you." Endymion weakly looked at Usagi, "My love, only when I learned of true love, is it forbidden to me. I love you and I always will." Endymion closed his eyes, dead to the world. Usagi glared at Beryl, "You will die bitch!" A silver moon on Usagi's forehead glowed a bright light blinding all, "By this light, by my power, by the power of the moon I eliminate you!" The light seemed to spread until it was only one bright light, then quickly it shot out and collided with another of Beryl's energy balls, the light quickly overcame the dark and nothing was left but the eerie scream heard for miles.

"Father I need you here." As soon as the words left Usagi's mouth her father appeared. "Father do something, bring him back, I can't live with out him."

"I will do as you wish, my child, but I ask you to remember one thing. Remember that I love you and no matter where I am, I'm always watching over you." Usagi looked at her father puzzled and shook her head. Merlin knelt over Endymion and whispered words. Endymion's wounds started to close and color was returning to his face. Usagi let out a breath of air, he would be okay.

"Merlin!" Usagi whirled around to see her mother rushing over, tears running down her face. Merlin stood up and looked at Serenity, "It is done. Remember I love you both so much. The time we had to spend apart was unbearable, I was just grateful to have a piece of you always with me, but I fear that now you must bear to live without me. When that man wakes up tell him to take good care of my daughter or else. Just call and I'll be there."

"Father where are you going?" Usagi never got a reply for her father had already disappeared. "I don't understand."

Serenity wrapped her arms around Usagi, "My dear daughter, your fathers gone. There is only one way to bring back a life, without that it being a ghost, zombie, or some evil creature. He sacrificed himself; he gave his life over to Endymion, so that he would live. He's not coming back." Usagi fell to the ground, "I never wanted it to be like this, I wanted him there the day we got married, if we do, I had so much to learn from him still. This couldn't have happened. He was more than just my father, he was my mentor, teacher, protector, and he was my friend. There had to be, I mean, no I can't, why can't I have both, why must I, no, no, NO! I killed him, I killed my father, oh my god I, what…" Usagi curled in a ball next to the fallen Endymion and cried her soul out.
