An: I don't own sailor moon, just so you know!

Back to my story...

Ray was quickly making her way around the palace, to the Queen's bedroom, where the imperial crystal was stored.

……………………………..

In the Queen's Bedroom

"Ahhh! Finally I have you. Now I can be princess and not that spoiled rotten brat Serenity. As it should be." She smirked.

Stealing the crystal from its encasement, she placed it in her hands as she sighted an incantation she learned from the book of time in the royal library.

"lahkda lkaodkdu jidhd hsuyehn sudu!" she chanted, possessed by her greed.

The room began shaking as the power from her words was shown with a great light. I must hurry; I don't have a lot of time. Sigh… Too bad I cannot change the past, only the thoughts of others in the future.

She walked out of the room. Time was dead, at least for that moment. Walking around she saw her friends and the person she despised most on the ground, covered in blood. Her jealousy was about to burst as she saw Prince Endymion in the princess's arms.

She longed for the Prince's love all the time, even though she knew it wasn't hers to have. But that would all be changed.

Even though they are now dead, it will be easier to change their minds for the future, my new future to be seen as princess Serenity, no… I'll keep my name. Princess Ray. Ha ha ha ha. And you Endymion will be mine. She raised the crystal in the air, shouting the words to alter their memories.

And so it was done, her future was now Princess Ray. No… wait, those pesky felines. I can't forget them.

……………………….

What happened while Ray was wandering around the castle?

"Princess, no sorry, Serenity. Follow us." Mina inquired. If only I knew how to protect her so nothing bad would happen.

"No my job is to protect you." Serena replied to her thought.

"You know, reading people's minds will get you into trouble one day."

"I know. Hehehe! But sometimes I can't pass up knowing what people are thinking."

The scouts huddled around Serenity as they guided her down the hallways. Serenity screamed as she felt her mother's presence fading. "NO! She has the imperial crystal, why can't she beat her?"

The scouts, stunned by their princess's sudden outbreak, looked at her in confusion.

"Serenity! What about the imperial crystal?" Sailor Jupiter urged her to respond, but all their princess could do was point out the window as she fainted to the ground.

The scouts scurried to the window only to see smog, but in the clearing they made out two figures. One they assumed was their Queen, but the other was a mystery. All they could sense was nothing good came from this mysterious person.

"Now that you are dying queeny, I'll leave the next torturing for your daughter. Ha ha ha ha ha!" This person smirked, or so they assumed from what they could make out.

The scouts shielded their princess as the figure came their way. "Awwww. The Moon brat's guards. This should be easier then I thought."

A huge amount of energy emerged from the person's right hand as she croaked, "I should at least give you the pleasure of knowing my name before you die. I am Queen Beryl, future ruler of the Moon Kingdom, once she's gone." She pointed towards Serenity.

After her monologue, the energy left her palm to be the fate of death for the scouts. "Nooooo!" Serenity wailed as tears came out in waterfalls, pouring down her cheeks.

"Now I can have the satisfaction of finishing you off!" Beryl exclaimed, as she used both hands this time to create a large sum of energy. She released the mass of energy towards her target.

Her whole life she had been waiting for this moment... To claim what was rightfully hers, Endymion, and her crown.

Serenity stood in awe as the energy ball came hurdling towards here, next thing she knew she was on the ground, with something heavy on top of her.

"Endymion?"

Crying, she used her strength to force the weight on top of her up. In her gut she knew it was him, but she had to see just to make sure.

Flipping the body over, she saw his face, a tiny smirk in the corner of his mouth, she deeply focused on it, and as he muttered, "I love you."

No words came out of her mouth as she desperately tried to say she loved him back, but she was consumed by thought of loneliness, no more friends, mother, or Endy… How could she survive?

Before Beryl unleashed her next attack, she withdrew his sword and plunged it in her heart, in doing so she breathed her last words, "Next lifetime, my love…"

Finally Serenity's mother summoned her last strength as she was not dead yet, but soon to be after this last act.

She carried herself to her royal chambers one last time, in a last resort to look for her misplaced crystal. Oddly, it was there, as if it had always been. But she knew it wasn't there as soon Beryl attacked, because she was in here once before only to find it missing.

If only I found it before, all of this could have been prevented. All those deaths… But who took it. She eyed the room to see nothing astray.

But she did not observe close enough, because as she thought everyone was dead she was wrong, Ray, the Princess of Mars, was hidden beneath her bed. She waited for the Queen's presence to be gone, so she could be with the others, to "fit in".

She did find Luna and Artemis though, she had just brainwashed them. Returning the crystal, she heard footsteps so she was forced to hide under the bed.

As the Queen walked sadly out of the room, Mars returned to her friends and soon to be lover, ignoring Serenity's presence. Quickly, she ripped the bloody blade from Serenity's heart. Then she stabbed it into her own, leading to her new life.

The Queen found the scouts and her daughter minutes later after drifting around the castle. In doing so, she passed their spirits along to be reborn on earth.

And for Beryl, it barely took any strength at all for the Queen to finish her off. She did so after insuring the safety of her daughter and loved ones… not knowing of what the future had in store for them.
