"The darkness has lifted from me."
Darkury transformed in front of the soldiers. Walking over to a group of icy stalagmites, she took off a large, sharp chunk. It turned into a glittering, transparent sword in her hands.
"It feels so different now. I am no longer the monster I was before. I am no longer the threat that I was."
Darkury gave a thrust, only to be blocked by Venus. The two jumped at each other, and Venus, after the pass, fainted.
"My friends are free. And now, after so much friction and mistrust, we are one after this ordeal. We are stronger than ever, and I can feel the connections we have with one another. This bond flows through us like water, giving us the strength to face our enemies like never before."
Darkury took up her sword. In front of the warrior was the small, child-like figure of Sailor Luna. The two stood on top of the roof of the building, both in fighting stance.
"I know, sometimes, though, even now, that I fear that my sins - and my evil - will return to haunt me. That one day, the evil will again be brought forth, and that I will be uncontrollable and will slaughter those closest to me. The longer I stay with my friends, though, the less I feel the threat."
Sailor Moon's wand shattered and fell out of her hand. Darkury looked on, with considerable satisfaction as the unresponsive blonde soldier collapsed in front of her.
"Perhaps Usagi-chan is right. Perhaps that time is gone. Perhaps the evil has been banished."
The look on Darkury's face turned from one of pleasure to one of horror. She dropped on her knees, cradled Sailor Moon in her arms, and began to scream as the tiara fell from her fallen friend's forehead.
"Perhaps there is nothing to worry about."
Ami, with an angry throw, flung the dark wristband onto the ground. It lay, stationary, in the grass of the Dark Kingdom Garden.
"Perhaps……"
The jewel within the black wristband slowly changed color. It went from black, to a dark purple, as Ami and Usagi left the forest.
"……perhaps."

Hitomi wa itsumo JUERU
BODI ni matou RAME ANDO CHAAMU!
A silhouette floats in a light. When the light dies down, revealed is Princess Serenity, dressed in her finest white gown, with the moon in the background. She looks over and smiles.
Ikite yuku koto wa
try get a chance!
Serenity's face comes closer, until all that is seen is the moon sign that is upon her forehead. It flashes brilliantly, fading until we see….
Koko ni aru kara tsuyoi yume….
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
(Takeuchi Naoko-PNP-Toei-CBC-CAZBE-dentsu)
….Sailor Moon appears in a Silver Milennium-era building. She turns several times, bathed in golden light. She turns into Usagi, and lip syncs the words of the title song into her cell phone. She runs out of sight.
GANGAN kechirashitekou…
Sailor Mercury appears in a blue light under the sea. She turns, transforms into Ami and sits at a desk in a classroom, wearing her school uniform. Usagi suddenly appears and brings her into the ancient building. Then, Usagi disappears again, and Ami begins to sing into her cell phone.
RAIBARU darake no mahiru…
Sailor Mars appears in a red light in a fiery inferno. She turns, transforms into Rei, and sweeps a room inside Hikawa Temple, wearing her temple garment. Usagi appears, and almost drags Rei into the temple. With a thumbs up, Usagi runs back out, leaving Rei to try and mimic Ami's movements in the song.
Egao yori kuchibiru yori…
Sailor Jupiter appears in a green light within a lightning field. She turns, transforms into Makoto, and is inside a gym, wearing pink workout pants and a jacket while punching a bag. Usagi appears, ushering her out of the sweaty room, and Makoto appears at the temple, wiping her brow with a towel. Usagi runs out just as Makoto gets her phone out.
AIBIIMU ga KIMEWAZA!
Sailor Venus appears in a gold light inside a sparkle of spotlights. She turns, transforms into Minako, and is clapping her hands inside a concert hall filled with screaming fans. Usagi suddenly appears, leading a shocked Minako out. All five then stood in the building, lip-synching into their cell phones.
Watashi ni nare
KIRARI to sailor diamonds!
Usagi suddenly leaves again, this time appearing in the streets of Tokyo alone, her eyes squinted. The sun is beginning to set, and the river is next to her.
Yoake ni umareru GAADIAN
Watashi da kara kanau yo
starlight prayers!
In Usagi's hand is a handkerchief. Wrapped in it is a lustered, old looking watch.
MEIKUAPPU shiyou yo
Kirameki wa mune ni
SEERAA senshi sore wa
MUUNRAITO RIARUGAARU!
Human Luna stands behind Usagi as she walks. Her tail swishes, and she is about to follow, but sneezes. She turns into cat Luna and falls on the ground.
Matsuge wa fusete mukuchi ni
Hosoi ashi kara tears rain
Ano KO no miteta tooi michi
Kitto mitsukaru tsuyoi mirai
Usagi closes her eyes. In front of her, on the bridge, is Hina and Mamoru. They are together, holding hands and looking into each other's eyes.
Zenzen HEIKI demo ne
HAATO wa shogechau n da
Sonna toki dare yori mo
AIBIIMU de anata ni…..
A tear falls from Usagi's eye. It drops onto her brooch, and the brooch flashes brilliantly.
Watashi ni nare
KIRARI to sailor wings!
Princess Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask stand together. In front of them is the dark purple column that holds Queen Metallia's power. Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask slowly hold hands.
Daichi wo kakenukeru GAADIAN
Watashi da kara dekiru yo kono BATORU…….
Sailor Moon, with her other hand, points her crescent moon wand, which then transforms into the Princess Harp Sword, at the column. In front of the column was the figure of Queen Beryl. She points towards the two lone figures, and a powerful blast comes from her finger.
MEIKUAPPU shite yuku kirameki wa hitai
SEERAA senshi sore wa
MOONRAITO FOOCHUN……..
Sailor Moon's tiara flashes, and the crescent moon appears on her forehead. The Princess Harp Sword, also, glows, and from Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon comes a bright white glow. It blasts out at Beryl and Metallia, engulfing them both in the light.
Watashi ni nare,
KIRARI to catch me kiss again!
The light disappears, with Mamoru and Usagi together at the bridge. Usagi is unconscious. In response, Mamoru bends down and kisses her on the forehead.
SEERAA fuku no RIBON hodoite
Watashi da kara iranai mou nani mo…..
Slowly, Usagi wakes up. She looks up at Mamoru, a look of surprise on her face. She drops the muffler and the watch on the ground.
MEIKUAPPU sono toki
Kirameki wo ageru
SEERAA senshi
Mamoru sets Usagi on a bench nearby. He goes back, picks the muffler and watch up, and slowly returns it to her. However, Usagi shakes her head as he offers the muffler back. She gives it back to him.
Sore wa EBAARASUTINGU RABU!
Mamoru, touched, sits down on the bench next to Usagi. By this time, the sun had set, and the moon and stars now shine brightly in the sky. The two begin to come in closer, not for a kiss, but simply to hold each other.
The four girls, back in their sailor forms, watch the scene. They take turns in singing, instead of lip-synching.
MERCURY
"Watashi ni nare
KIRARI to sailor diamonds!"
MARS
"Yoake ni umareru GAADIAN
Watashi da kara kanau yo"
JUPITER
"starlight prayers!
MEIKUAPPU shiyou yo"
VENUS
"Kirameki wa mune ni
SEERAA senshi sore wa-"
"MUUNRAITO RIARUGAARU!!!"
"Huh?"
"Wha?"
"Who?"
"Muh?"
The four girls look down. Sailor Luna is sheepishly grinning.
"Sorry, girls."
The moon shines in the sky.
SEERAA senshi sore wa
MUUNRAITO RIARUGAARU!
