M-W Notes: Sorry for the slow update. One of my stories was deleted again, so I was not allowed to update. In this chapter, Reika's name is Furuhata and Naru's(Molly) name is Gurio. This is not a mistake, but you should assume that Reika is now married to Motoki(Andrew), and Naru is married to Umino(Melvin) like how Usagi was married to Mamoru. Also, please be aware that this story is nearing the end. Two more chapters, I think.

If you read my stories that are called Ruin and Rejection(This was deleted, but coming back), you may want to read a new story I am working on called Ayame. It is about the life of Michiru's younger sister after what she did to Michiru. It will probably be pretty violent, but you should expect that from me.

One more thing. If this account were to be deleted, check for a user name VERY similar to this one. Also feel free to contact me at "majesticunderscoreweirdo at yahoo dot com" (Replace the word underscore with the real one and the at with the at symbol and the dot with a period. There are no spaces), or "majestic weirdo" on AIM.


Beryl did not waste any time. She retrieved the holds of former mates, entertainers, and attendants from the barracks of the dimension and took control of them as easily as she had taken Michiru. She would need slaves to rebuild her empire. Michiru stood idly by her side.

"Mother, clothe them. I will not have my servants so indecent."

Beryl herself was now dressed in a purple gown that looked very much like a smaller version of what she had been seen in the past.

Michiru headed towards the storeroom where Malus had left the clothing that his guests had arrived in. Beryl sent one of the stronger men with her and together they retrieved the clothing by the armload. The new servants of the Black Moon made necessary switches so that each was wearing something that fit, whether it had belonged to them in their previous lives, they were not concerned. Beryl was satisfied. Now for the next step: Earth, the lovely blue planet soon to be covered by the more beautiful shade of darkness. Beryl signaled for Michiru to follow her.

They arrived at what was apparently a throne room. At one side of the room was an enormous gem encrusted throne, and before it was a glowing dark orb.

"Give me the Crystal," Beryl ordered.

Michiru held out her hand and the Ginzoushou materialized there. She offered the now- dull crystal to her master. Beryl grinned maliciously and gently, but with haste, took it from her. She held the crystal over her own orb, and slowly, the Silver Crystal sunk inside of the dark ball.

A brilliant blast of dark purple-red light filled the room.

"Beryl," said the deep voice of a darkness older than the gods, "I knew you would come to be of use."

Beryl smiled with glee and then continued her business.

Beryl waved her hand over the orb and a projection of the Earth filled the wall. Michiru stared blankly as the planet's vast oceans changed from a vibrant blue, to a dull grey, and then to a darkness beyond twilight. From the dark orb came the voices of Earth's people, screaming together in agony as they made their transitions from humanity. Beryl's smile faded into an expression of displeasure. She patted Michiru's head.

"Get up. They are here. You will fight them."

Beryl snapped her fingers, giving Michiru a false memory of her fellow senshi's betrayal and simultaneously covering herself with invisibility so that she could watch the show in peace.

Michiru still sat on the white marble floor, now dressed in the uniform of Sailor Neptune. The projection on the wall disappeared as Queen Serenity and her Sailor Senshi entered the room in a white light. Neptune stood and glared at the seven. Before they could act, Michiru raised her arms, ready to attack.


"Usako? Is that you?" Mamoru asked, smiling in his sleep as he chased after his golden-haired wife.

The playful woman simply ran on along the foggy morning beach. Mamoru chased the hazy figure for what seemed like hours, Usagi stopping every now in then, waving cheerfully with one arm while holding a gurgling baby in the other, and then continuing her irresolute trek. Mamoru continued to chase her, never tiring in his conjured dreamland. As the time passed, Mamoru lost complete sight of her. He ran frantically in the direction he had last seen her, calling out her name.

As Mamoru ran on, Usagi gradually came back into vision, but as soon as she did, a terrible cry of fright pierced his eardrums. It was shortly followed by a sickening crunch. Mamoru ran faster, fearing what he might see, but simply needing to see it. On his sprint, Mamoru tripped over a protrusion in the ground. He skidded on the ground until another object stopped his progression. The man moaned and sat up, straightening his shirt. He looked at what he had tripped over. On the ground lay a small, lifeless infant wearing a pink bunny print dress. From an unseen wound, blood was pouring from the baby, quickly staining the outfit. Mamoru whimpered, backing up on all fours in a state of shock and disbelief. Then his foot hit what had stopped him. He turned around to see Usagi staring at him with a glazy expression of terror, her abdomen crushed and bloody from the vehicle's impact.

"USAKO!" Mamoru shrieked without completely waking.

Motoki, Unazaki, and Reika Furuhata shifted nervously while Naru Umino began to cry harder. Reika hugged the younger girl and tried to comfort her.

"What did she ever do? Everyone loved Usagi! She always made us happy by just being there, like when-" Naru burst into tears before finish.

Motoki wiped his friend's head with a wet cloth and dabbed away his tears. Mamoru was important. Usagi was already gone. Motoki held Mamoru's hand tightly as he called out his wife's name again.

"Usako!" Mamoru shouted one more time. This time sitting straight up with his eyes opened.

The group of three gasped with shock as Mamoru stared blankly at the wall. Mamoru did not respond when they called his name, but after a few seconds, they realized what his was staring at.

Usagi was hovering in the air at the foot of the bed. She was not translucent, but wearing a white dress. A set of wings spread out behind her. The three were speechless as Mamoru reached up and took her hand. The hospital yukata that he had worn was replaced by the uniform of Earth's rightful ruler. Princess Serenity pulled Prince Endymion up into an embrace. Before they vanished gone, the princess gave Naru a smile.

Motoki and Reika stared at Naru, looking for an explanation. Naru smiled back at them.

"It's okay. Usagi is Sailor Moon."

Outside of the window, the thick white clouds began to darken.
