Chapter 17
Queen Serenity realized she was all alone, the wind blew harsh. She stood alone in the dark with her two cats beside her. The tears rolled down her rosey cheeks. It was quite a battle, she lost the Sailor Scouts, The God of Death, and her very own daughter who was to take throne someday. "Beryl has taken everyone, but me" she thought silently.
Luna threw her head down and sobbed with tears pouring down her furry face, "No, not the Princess No!" Artemis was teary eyed himself just looking at the dead bodies of Serenity, her love, and her court.
Queen Beryl threw her head back and laughed, "Perfect! The Princess and the God of Death are both gone! And look who still stands"
Queen Serenity saw the last tear that rolled down Princess Serenity's cheek, it really got to her. Queen Serenity collapsed to the ground and fell to her knees, "No!" she cried out, "My little Usagi, why did you risk your life, just to be with the most powerful God in the Universe" thought Queen Serenity to herself. Queen Serenity brushed away her tears and decided she needed to be strong, she looked up at her daughters dead body floating in the air next to Duo. "Don't worry darling, I won't let it end this way, I won't let them take away your future" vowed Queen Serenity as she placed the Silver Imperil Crystal into the crescent moon wand.
Luna and Artemis saw the pink light glowing once it was placed in its slot. Queen Serenity stood up slowly and looked into the Silver Crystal with watery eyes.
"Queen Serenity, if you use the Silver Crystal it will take away all of your energy" sobbed Luna with teary eyes.
"It's the only way Luna, I must sacrifice my life in order to regain peace" sternly said Queen Serenity still looking into the crystal. Queen Serenity took a deep breath and raised the crescent moon wand high into the air, "Cosmic Moon Power!" her voice echoed through out the moon.
"What is this!" asked Queen Beryl as pink moon dust was sprinkling all over the place. Queen Beryl and her kingdom started to scream in agony as their lives were being taken away by the crystal.
"You can't do this to me Queen Serenity! I'll return!" yelled Queen Beryl as her body started to vanish along with her court and kingdom. The moon then became quite and peaceful once again just as the Negaverse left the once Moon Kingdom.
Queen Serenity then laid silently on a pilar with her two feline friends by her side. "Queen Serenity you did it!" cheered Luna.
"Yeah you got rid of them!" agreed Artemis.
Queen Serenity gave the two cats a weak smile, and held the crystal gently in her palm. "Yes, I trapped them all into the crystal, if I destroyed them Usagi, Duo, and the others would have been destroyed as well, but there all trapped in the power of the crystal. And now, I must send them to a new future on earth" stated Queen Serenity with teary eyes. She almost broke down again but she was strong.
"But you saved all of them, why are you so sad?" asked Luna confused on the Queen's feelings.
"Because, all of them won't remember this time period or what happened in the past. Duo and Usagi won't remember each other or anything, neither will the scouts. And I'll never see my daughter again, or you two either" cried Queen Serenity as she took the crescent moon wand and raised it into the air. "But this is the only way for anything of them to live on. I have enough power left to send everything you'll need in the future to earth. Usagi and her court will need your help and guidance if the Negaverse shall ever break free" explained the weak Queen.
"But, what about Duo? Does he have any part of this?" asked Artemis.
Queen Serenity smiled at the white cat weakly, "If Serenity loved him now, then she'll love him again in the future. Find him and bring back his memories in the future"
"Yes" both nodded Luna and Artemis.
"All of them will be reborn on Earth with no memory of the Moon Kingdom whatsoever. But if evil forces shall repeat the battle what happened here you two will know what to do" calmly said Queen Serenity.
Queen Serenity took the crystal once again into her hands, "Now, farewell everyone" whispered Queen Serenity as she let the crystal flow high into the air. "Good luck in your new lives, and Usagi, my little Usagi, you're in my heart and I love you" said silently Queen Serenity as she watched the crystal go high into the sky.
The Silver Crystal floated high in the midair and shined a very powerful bright light making all of the dead bodies that were on the ground, float high in the air surrounded in yellow bubbles. Queen Serenity watched the Inners and Outers float towards earth and she sadly watched her daughter in a bubble floating next to Duo's body. She sadly watched all of them float towards Earth.
"Be happy all of you, and you will be free, once again" whispered Queen Serenity.
Queen Serenity then took her last gasp of air and into eternal sleep. Luna and Artemis got teary eyed watching the Queen pass way. "Queen Serenity" they both whispered. The crescent moon wand dropped out of Queen Serenity's hand and fell to the floor. It then started to glow a white color sending both Luna and Artemis into tubes sending them to Earth as well
