Chapter 21: That's Why I Live With My Memories:
Several months have passed since they all came into this mansion. Usagi couldn't be more happy to be alive; after all she put them through, all the memories that they had clashed, all of the lies she had to tell over-and-over again, and the fact that she saw that thing kill her friends over-and-over. They were all alive and they have forgiven her of all that happened. They were all together still and were at her side no matter what. It wouldn't matter to her, she was just happy that her friends and her lover were right there whenever she needed it. This was the time she needed them most. The battle was near its end, only the creature was spotting them from escaping. This time, they would defeat it and not lose anyone. Usagi looked around the table once again. She knew that breaking the last clock was their only chance of escaping without too much trouble; but it would be very dangerous to go in head first.
"Where is the room that the last clock is located at?" Asked Mamoru.
"In a room with a secret door behind the wall paper." Usagi answered.
"On the first floor?" Rei asked.
Usagi nodded her head in reply. She really didn't say anything much after that.
"What does the clock look like?" Minako asked.
"It's like an old grandfather clock." Haruka answered, "The only reason why I know this is because one of my memories I remember turning the clock back since Sailor Moon couldn't."
"Yeah." Usagi added, "Uranus and I are the ones who actually turned back the clock; that's why the monster came after me and her."
"Then why is it attacking ChibiMoon?" Hotaru questioned, "Could it be that the monster wanted her dead as well?"
"That would make sense." Usagi paused, "Since her and I are strong and could probably defeat the monster together.
"Then why don't we settle this once and for all!" ChibiUsa said.
"It would only get us killed." Usagi told her.
"What?" Minako asked.
"It would be dumb on our part if we head in there without thinking." Makoto answered, "At least that's what I gathered from hearing this story."
"You're correct, Jupiter." Haruka said, brushing her fingers through Michiru's soft curly hair.
"Is that thing guarding it?" Rei questioned, looking from both Haruka and Usagi.
"Not just one." Replied Usagi, trying to remember back to the times she turned time back, "It's really hard to remember how many of them were there."
"If I remember right, there's about four." Haruka answered.
"That sounds about right." Sighed Usagi.
"So, we have to plan on fighting harder . . . like we've never have fought before." Makoto started.
"The battle to come, it's going to be different than the previous times we've battled that creature." Michiru added.
"Much harder than before. But, it's not like we don't know how to handle challenges." Hotaru smiled.
"We are much stronger now than we were a few months ago." Ami joined in.
"This time, our battle will be victorious." Setsuna added.
"We won't lose to that creature." ChibiUsa finished.
Usagi looked at her friends with a small smile as they gathered in a group hug.
"I wouldn't mind to keep the good memories that we made here; but I will not make anymore mistakes after we escape this place. I'll carry all the other memories from this place as well. Hopefully the others will remember what happened here and how stronger we've gotten in there." She paused, "Yeah, that's why I live with my memories."
