"You won't be touching either of them!" Sailor Uranus declared, placid eyes watching her princess carefully. The outer senshi stood, completely transformed and prepared to defend themselves, and their kingdom, to the death if it were to come to that.
Wicked lady rolled her eyes with a scoff, "You are all extremly foolish... but I'm afraid I've had enough." She swiftly started forward knocking aside the king, the center point of her umbrella becoming a needle sharp point before it was thrusted into the abdomen of Neo Queen Selenity, erupting from her back in a spray of rouge blood and a large gasp from everyone, aside from Wicked Lady who howled insanely with laughter.

"H-how could you?" King Endymion sobbed as he moved to his wifes side, lifting her quickly cooling body into his arms, her skin already growing quite clammy and opaque. "You can't die... you just can't, I won't let you die now."
Looking up at him her eyes were dulling, lids half opened over blue orbs as she managed a smile, "It doesn't hurt that bad... not even really much at all, its starting to numb." She closed her eyes, "But if it makes her happy... this is for the best." Her body trembled as she was raised up off the ground. Endymion began carrying her towards the palace with Neroli trailing behind. As the King entered the door from the garden he looked back to Wicked Lady, tears brimming on his lids and eyes filled with a mixture of sorrow, regret, and disappointment. His daughter stared back, a cool smirk residing on her face, eyes almost devoid of a soul as they pierced the air between the two.
All the senshi were weaping, comforting each other as they did so. Sailor Uranus was holding a Neptune who had broken down completely after the shock. Saturn had her head turned but the distress was obvious on the features of her pale face. Pluto whiped her eyes, trying to remain strong and calm, she wanted more than anything to break her vows as time guardian and try to ensure this would never have happened. She was however true to her bond.
The Inner Senshi had come too in time to see their Queen, and once brave-hearted leader. Everything had become so surreal in those few fleeting moments. Especially because they still couldn't bring themselves to hate the person who did this. The Princess had always been so exubriant, so full of life and love for everyone. The notion that she could commit an act of this magnitude was unaceptable to all the women, it wasn't a plausable reality and the weight of it was like being crushed by a ton of bricks.
Minako pinched her arm, she was sure this was all some horrible dream, however the sting on her skin told her this wasn't some dillusion. She looked to Wicked Lady, "Princess, I- I'm sorry." It was the only thing she could say, she didn't know why she was appologising.
Everyone began to gather into the palace, the only senshi who remained in the garden were Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta. Their heads hung as they stepped before the person they had pledged their very lives to protect. This woman's face was now destitute, blinking a few times as if in comprehension. Ceres grasped one of her hands, "Princess, please come back to us." Her voice wavered as she looked into Princess Small Lady's red eyes, which were transfixed on an imaginary spot in front of her. "Please..." She pleaded, "You can't leave us too." Wicked Lady blinked as her head turned towards the Sailor Quartet, a soft smile appearing on her face, black crecent moon on her forhead completely disappearing.
"Hi guys... where have you been?" Her voice was soft, denied the harsh undertone that had furnished itself there only minutes ago. A voice which had said many a harsh word to people beloved of its owner. Similar to the disappearance of the crecent moon, the black dress the had been wearing vanished. She wasn't left unclothed for long though as the white wedding gown materialized onto her body. It was then she lost consciousness and collapsed, barely being caught by the bright, blue haired, Pallas.
"Hey, is she back to normal?" Pallas asked, her voice still held that childish charm to it but she herself had matured a lot.
Juno scoffed, "Of course she is." Brown hair swaying despite the odd hairstyle she possesed which haid gained a lot of length over time.
"I sure hope she is ok." The one with long pink braids, Ceres, knelt down and brushed the hair out of the Princess' closed eyes. Looking down at her senseless friend with a deep concern.
"I'm sure shes... fine..." Vesta's voice lingered into a small squeek as she pointed at the princesses body, her three comrades gave her a questioning look before eyeing the area where her finger was pointing. They were greated by an overwhelming claret stain brandishing the delicate white fabric.
"Sh-shes bleeding!" Pallas yelped, "Why is she bleeding?" She touched the spot on the stomache of the dress, the blood was still warm and left a dark sticky liquid clinging to her fingers.
"We have to get her inside." Ceres' voice was grave as she helped her friends escort the fallen princess into the palace.

Sorry if it is cheesey, I swear I am going to make it better! A little short compared t my normal chapters but I only plan on making it one or two chapters longer and I wouldn't be able, nor do I want, to cram it all in here
