Princess Serenity breathed heavily after convincing her sister that she wasn't evil. It took lots of energy out of her. Her chest went up and down as she breathed. Princess Conformity was also tired from the long fights. Her guilt was strong like a knife. Not just about the recent turn of events, but of the past from 1,000 years ago.

"I am guilty."

Princess Conformity spoke in disgust with herself.

"Why?"

Haruka asked.

"Because, I princess Conformity a.k.a. Sailor Blood Moon had killed numerous people from 1,000. My sailor senshi outfit was stained with the blood of innocent people. I smeared the blood of the innocent of that time in the joy of my hollow victory. See, it was caused from this crystal here! The Blood Moon Crystal!"

Princess Conformity spoke in a broken tone. She shown a round deep red crystal that was the cause of it all. The Sailor Senshi and the guardian cats were confused.

"The Blood Moon Crystal? Isn't that cursed?"

Luna questioned.

"At one time, yes. Now it has been cleansed along with me because of Serenity. It was a cursed gem. Anyone who touched it and possessed it, it turned them evil with jealousy. It gave me real power. I felt the power it provided. It amplified my anger and hate. It gave me the urge to kill innocent people. I even killed some of the Earth's royal family. Those days were my bad dark days.
I don't think I'll ever forget those days."

Princess Conformity spoke harshly as she remembered about her past.

"Then why didn't we remember you when you first appeared?"

Artemis asked.

"That's what Queen Serenity and the King of Earth wanted. The King of Earth's name was King Reginald VII. He was a just king.
He was the father of Prince Endymion. The Earth and Moon Kingdoms combined their powers to seal me within a cave with my staff and the Blood Moon Crystal. Afterwards, Queen Serenity must have used the Ginzuishou to cause everyone to forget about me."

Princess Conformity added.

"You're no longer evil. I didn't like my evil sister, but I love my sister that has seen the error of her ways. If you ever need my support and friendship, you can always come to me."

Princess Serenity talked calmly to her sister.

"Thanks. I don't belong in the Sailor Senshi right now because of my past deeds. If you ever need me Serenity, feel free to call me telepathically. You have that power since you are Sailor Cosmos,
right?"

Princess Conformity asked.

"Yes."

Princess Serenity answered.

"Good. Farewell."

Princess Conformity bided farewell and ran off.

"I am going after her. Bye."

Princess Serenity said as she went to catch up with her sister.
Serenity ran and caught up with her.

"Conformity! Wait!"

Princess Serenity ran up to her and stopped her.

"What do you want Serenity?"

Princess Conformity asked.

"I don't understand what you went through a 1,000 years ago. Please explain it to me."

Princess Serenity asked.

"It's too sad to tell you right now."

Princess Conformity explained.

"I want to show something to you. Come on!"

Princess Serenity dragged her sister by the arm to the Tsukino household. Serenity opened the door.

"I'm home!"

Princess Serenity announced.

"Usagi..."

Ikuko Tsukino replied without thinking to her earthborn daughter.

"I am not Usagi anymore. I am Princess Serenity."

Serenity explained. Conformity looked confused.

"What do you mean? You were this person named Usagi?"

Conformity asked.

"Yes. As I was told, yes. See, I was reborn into this era by Queen Serenity, our mother. I lived a peaceful life until I became Sailor Moon. After that, I fought villains and then became the Moon Princess again. After receiving the Ginzuishou, over the years, Usagi's body started receiving my DNA structure and then my DNA started overtaking hers. Now, I have fully returned."

Princess Serenity explained.

"I see. This change wasn't easy, right?"

Conformity asked.

"Yeah, what I heard from the others yes. But now that is past.
All am concerned about is you and your position about your past transgressions."

Serenity told her.

"My transgressions? You care about the bad things that I done in my past?"

Conformity looked confused.

"Yes! You are my sister and part of my court, even if you don't want to be! So, I want to know exactly what happened in the past!"

Serenity demanded.

"Alright. Not here. Satisfied?"

Conformity asked.

"Good. Let's go. Bye!"

Serenity said goodbye to Ikuko Tsukino. They started towards the Hikawa Shrine when Lady Olivine appeared.

"What do you want?"

Conformity hissed.

"Is this how you treat your former friend Lady Olivine?"

Lady Olivine asked.

"You were never my friend!"

Princess Conformity hissed again.

"Rise Chaos Undead!"

Lady Olivine commanded. A zombie rose up out of nowhere!

"Destroy them!"

She commanded and she vanished.

"Great! Now we got to fight this monster."

Conformity protested.

"Come on! Where's your pride! Let's transform and beat him up!"

Serenity suggested.

"Okay!"

Princess Conformity agreed.

"Good! Cosmos Moon Power!"

"Red Moon Power!"

"Make Up!"

The two cried together and transforming together.

"You won't beat us! I forbid it!"

Cosmos Sailor Moon spoke in a harsh tone.

"Let's get to it! Red Moon Strike!"

Sailor Red Moon cried as she fired her staff at the undead monster.

"Cosmos Wave, Encircle!"

Cosmos Sailor Moon cried.

The monster cried a blood curdling cry and turned into silver dust.

"That was too easy."

Sailor Red Moon commented.

"I agree. What are the Chaos Moon up to?"

Serenity wondered.

"Let's go back to that Hikawa Shrine."

Sailor Red Moon suggested.

"Right. Let's go."

Serenity agreed.

Later...

Queen Aegirine was upset.

"Why did you Lady Olivine, send a monster without my permission?"

Queen Aegirine asked.

"Someone had to finish the job to destroy those two!"

Lady Olivine defended herself. This made Queen Aegirine angry.

"NEVER SEND A MONSTER WITHOUT MY PRIOR AUTHORIZATION FIRST! GOT IT?"

Queen Aegirine yelled in an angry tone. Lord Lazurite appeared.

"My Queen. Your favorite monster Chaos Undead was defeated by Serenity and Conformity."

Lord Lazurite announced.

"WHAT!?!"

Lady Aegirine yelled angrily.

"You took my favorite monster without my permission! Leave me!
Both of you!"

Queen Aegirine ordered. Lady Olivine and Lord Lazurite vanished.

Later...

"Minna... I have come to tell you my story..."

Princess Conformity explained.

"You'll soon know how I became Sailor Blood Moon..."

Princess Conformity continued.
