Chapter 19: Old Friends
"Hello Princess Serenity." The man said with a small smile.
"Prince Endymion." Usagi said with a small surprised smile in return.
"It's not your time yet, Serenity." He paused, "But the choice is yours to make. You can choose to wake up and fight to get out or you can stay and lose your fight."
She blinked a little, she was both surprised and confused. She thought that she had died and that her soul moved on. Usagi looked up at the prince, seeing the fact that he looked like her Mamoru. Endymion looked back at her with a small smile. He looked like a king. Usagi didn't know what to do; Steve would be waiting for her if she returned and they would have to find the last clock; the only way Usagi thought was the way to escape by breaking it, it would stop the monster, and they would easily make it out alive. The other choice was to stay there with him; it would mean leaving her friends there to figure out things themselves. She lowered her head, feeling her buns falling out.
"This is hard, Endymion." She answered back, "I thought that I was dean when I first saw this place. Where are we anyway?"
"Outside the mansion." He answered.
"The mansion!?"
"This is your final chance at, Serenity, please choose." He began.
"What about you?" She asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to help you with getting all of them out." Endymion gave a small smile, "Along with some help."
Usagi turned to look behind her when Endymion gestured to look. Four men came walking towards her.
"Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, Kunzite." She began.
"We are honored to help you in this fight, princess." Kunzite's baritone voice said gently.
"You guys." Began Usagi.
"It's not just them." A familiar female voice answered, "Princess Serenity."
Sailor Moon looked over at her, she gave a small inhale sound. A woman with long curly red hair, with red eyes to match; came forward.
"Queen Beryl."
"Without being brainwashed by Metalia." She paused, "And the jealousy I felt is gone."
"It's alright, Beryl." Usagi gave her a small smile.
"I've learned a lot from you, princess." Beryl replied softly.
"Stop hogging the spotlight, Beryl!" A demanding voice called, "Some of us want to talk with her too."
"Demande?" Usagi asked.
"Hello, Sailor Moon." He answered, brushing his silver hair away from his forehead.
"You're apart of this too?" Asked Usagi.
"You don't think I've changed, do you?" Questioned Demande, looking hurt.
"N-no, I can see that the fact that you've changed." She paused, "I'm just surprised."
"About what?"
"Not only are you helping me; you're helping Endymion and the other guardians."
"Have to put that aside in order to help you and the other guardians out."
Usagi gave a small smile, she looked behind him and saw Demande's family. Saphir gave a small bow.
"We'll be here for you." He said.
"Thank you, Saphir." Usagi gave a small smile at him.
"Sailor Moon, have you made your decision?" Dr. Tomoe asked.
Usagi turned to look at him.
"Yes." She turned to look at Endymion, "Princess Serenity will stay here and help you, while I return to help my friends."
"Very well." He said, "You'll get out and we will see each other again, Serenity."
Usagi gave a small nod and looked at the others.
"Good luck, Sailor Moon." Beryl said.
"We'll be here for you, Neo-Queen Serenity." Demande added.
"Thank you." She paused, "Good luck to you guys and remember that the Sailor Guardians will be there for you as well."
"Please protect my Hotaru, Sailor Moon." Dr. Tomoe said.
"I promise I will." Usagi answered.
"Farewell, Sailor Moon." Endymion said, "Usagi Tsukino."
