Hello minna!

I'm so so sorry about the late update. hangs head in shame I've just been so busy and I haven't been home most of the summer, ad I've also kind of run out of ideas of how to write. I mean I have the entire plot in front of me when I begin writing and then the story just kind of develops on its own and then the result is that it's not at all what I had in mind.

I really want to thank all my reviewers for their encouragement and support! There have been a lot of questions about how the ending is going to be and I can tell you as a fact that I'm a sucker for happy endings… but I also love creating emotions.

: P Okay, truthfully, not even I'm sure about how the endings going to look like so you'll just have to stay tuned in order to find out.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or any of the characters.

-Recap-

Somewhere Usagi stopped and looked back. She was standing in a long tunnel. Ahead she saw light that promised safety and comfort and behind her she saw darkness battling with light. She knew that the place that she had just come from was an unsure place filled with battle and weariness, two things that she was very tired of.

She was leaving that place behind her but a warm and haunting voice whispered a few words that caused her to stop. They were so desperate and they touched her more that anything she had ever heard. Usagi hesitated, which way would she go?

End of recap-

Chapter 2

Pluto stared shocked at the picture in front of her. This was not supposed to be happening, something was threatening the promised future. Usagi, the future queen of Crystal Tokyo was dying!

Pluto's ageless face blanched terribly as the implications settled in. "How the hell did this happen?" she swore for the first time. Her composure completely lost as all the possibilities presented themselves, and none of which was desired.

She had sensed something was wrong the moment that monster appeared. She had never seen that youma but figured that maybe she had forgotten it, as she couldn't remember every one of them. During the fight she had a nagging sense of something that was wrong but couldn't quite place her finger on it. When Sailor Moon had been hurt she had gasped, this was definitely not a part of what she had foreseen.

Seeing Mamoru find her relieved her to a certain extent, she was sure that the future king would save his beloved. However, when Usagi slipped into unconsciousness the fear erupted. Was this some part that she had not been allowed to see or had their fates changed?

Her thoughts were shattered when a commanding voice echoed through the time portal. "PLUTO, I DEMAND YOUR PRESCENCE RIGHT NOW THIS VERY SECOND!" The dominating voice of her king was not hard to recognize.

She managed to appear before an extremely agitated king and scouts in a blink of the eye. Summoning what was left of her self-control she managed to appear calm.

"You demanded my presence, Sir," she said calmly.

"What the hell is happening?" Endymion asked angrily.

"I beg your pardon?"

Endymion turned around, unable to say it. Pluto raised an eyebrow, she was calmness embodied but inside she was worried. Something serious must have happened to throw the king of balance. Her eyes quickly scanned the group. Where was the queen?

A sense of dread spread through her, something must have happened to the queen. Only Serenity could cause Endymion such agitation.

Ami stepped forward, forever the calm one, also she had a worried frown on her face.

"Serenity is fading away," she said quietly.

Pluto's mask slipped off for the first time.

"What did you say?"

"She was fine this morning and then suddenly she fainted. Endymion caught her and carried her to their bedroom. She was insensible the entire time and then suddenly she just disappeared for a second before appearing again. After she appeared again crying out and she's been appearing and disappearing quickly ever since then."

Pluto swore under her breath causing the scouts to stare at her in surprise.

"Something must have happened to her in the past."

"But how can that be?" Mako asked.

"Something has occurred, that I suspect have caused this," Pluto said gravely and then pausing.

"What?" Rei asked, forever the impatient one.

Pluto hesitated.

"Usagi is dying."

"What!" every one asked simultaneous.

"She was attacked and something went wrong."

"What went wrong?" Endymion asked his voice deadly serious sending shivers down every ones' backs.

"She is dying," Pluto said bluntly.

"What!" they repeated horrorstruck.

"That is the only logical explanation. She was hurt seriously and it doesn't look good. Serenity is fading because Usagi is dying."

"How can she be dying? Where are we then?" Endymion asked frantically.

"There was a storm, and the communicators didn't work," Pluto said quietly as the girls gasped horrified. "She hasn't received her full powers yet."

"Then where is Tuxedo Mask?" Endymion questioned. He should have been there since he didn't need a communicator to know when Usagi was in danger.

"He didn't find her in time. He found her only after the battle, unconscious. He tried to help her but the wounds were too severe. He is beside her now as we speak."

"You mean to tell me that none of us were there to help her? That she is dying?" Mina asked shocked beyond words.

An ear-piercing scream sounded throughout the hallway causing every one to turn abruptly. They all paled as one thought entered their minds.

'Serenity!'

Okay, that was all for this time! I feel a little rusty after not having written for so long.

Did you like it? Hate it? Please tell me your opinion!

I know that I haven't really written if Usagi died or lived but hopefully it will come out in the next chapter!

Till next time then!
