I truly hope you all enjoy this chapter, it has been my favourite one to write so far

Please don't forget to review xxxxxxx

"Chibi-Usa, you should not be here! It's too dangerous for you!" Mamoru scowled gently.

"Mamo-Chan, I want to save mommy!" Chibi-Usa stated firmly. She then looked around at the near empty street, she spotted a few camera men and reporters taking cover in a near-by alley recording the whole battle but she didn't see any Senshi or Generals "Where is everybody?" Her small voice asked as she frowned.

Mamoru opened his mouth ready to reply when Usagi let out a manic laugh that sent chills down everyone's spine.

"Me and Diamond killed them of course honey" Usagi smiled sweetly.

Chibi-Usa's eyes widened, as tears filled them.

"N…Nani?" She stuttered, stumbling back into Mamoru's cold armour.

She spun around and looked up into her future fathers eyes', silently pleading for him to tell her Usagi was lying. Chibi-Usa crumbled as his eyes told her the truth. She let out a weak sob as her head snapped back and forth in search of the Senshi, Generals or beloved Felines.

When her eyes rested on a sorrowful James and an unconscious Minako she let out a huge shriek. She shot from her knees and was by James side in a flash.

"MINAKO!" She screamed desperately "Is…Is she dead?" Chibi-Usa sobbed. She could hear Endymion's armour moving behind her and she was suddenly lifted into strong comforting arms.

"She's not dead, just sleeping" Mamoru explained with a sigh, allowing the pink haired bunny to sob into his neck. He shot a look at James and he nodded in return, starting to shake Minako awake.

Usagi watched from a distance as the small child sobbed into her future fathers arms. A pang of guilt and yearning shot through Usagi and she suddenly jumped back and shook her head of these feelings.

"Me? Guilty? Pfft!" Usagi tutted to herself. Her fingers glided across the golden wall separating her from them. "But why do I feel the need to hug that kid?" She frowned "She was always so cruel to me and always stole Mamoru away… I hate that brat just like she hates me…Mamoru always chose her, they always laughed at me and mocked me… They all hate me…they deserve to die…"

Usagi punched the wall with frustration and cursed loudly when she felt her knuckles crack, drawing the attention of the other conscious three.

Mamoru swiftly walked over to her, his armour rattling at he walked. One arm was holding Chibi-Usa up and the other was hanging by his side holding the Golden Crystal tightly.

"Look Usako, we both have one now…" Mamoru smiled.

Usagi's eyes narrowed with hatred as she watched his hold on it tighten.

Chibi-Usa pulled away from Mamoru's safe shoulder and turned slightly so she was facing Usagi. Usagi felt a stabbing pain in her heart, as she looked up into big, red, watery, pain filled eyes. She looked away sharply with a look of disgust plastered on her face.

She couldn't show weakness infront of them.

"I love you Usagi-Chan…." Chibi-Usa stated quietly

Usagi flinched violently and Mamoru gave the small girl a reassuring squeeze.

"Please come back to us Mommy…we need you…not Sailor Moon, not the silver crystal, but you!" She pleaded with a hiccup.

Something inside Usagi twigged as she gasped with realization. She smiled cunningly.

"Usako would you listen to our future daughter for one second, please… Damn it Usako! We love you so much and you're throwing us away like trash… we will never go away Usako, we will always be with you no matter what!" Mamoru's eyes glistened with silent tears as he stared desperately at his fallen angel.

Usagi suddenly threw her hands high in the hair and screamed. Her hands glowed a greyish dull colour as a small grey crystal appeared in her small palms.

Mamoru suddenly let go of Chibi-Usa and held up his golden crystal.

The walls around her pulsed with golden energy as she screamed loudly, pouring some of her power into what used to be the bright 'silver' crystal. The transparent walls around her suddenly shattered and everyone gasped.

Usagi laughed gripping the crystal tighter and stepping over the broken pieces of gold shimmering on the floor and loosing power.

Mamoru looked at James sternly and he nodded with understanding setting Minako on the ground gently. He ran over to Chibi-Usa who was staring at Usagi through frightened and sad eyes. Without a word he grabbed her hand and gently led her back to a shelter behind a broken car along with Minako's sleeping form.

"You made my life hell Mamoru, you hurt me. I was always last priority in your eyes… I was never the best…everyone mocked me and teased me and told me I didn't deserve to be leader and you agreed…now you can die along with the others and then everyone else in this world will die too…!" Usagi cheered spitefully

"Usako you were always first in my eyes and you always will be…You're only remembering our mistakes please remember the good times that we shared together! Think of the future and our beautiful little girl that we're going to have! We're going to get married and going to rule crystal Tokyo with our love and our strength!" Mamoru's eyes held Usagi's cold, blank ones.

"You don't love me! Nobody does!" Usagi shouted, she lifted her hands in the air and her crystal pulsed powerfully.

"Usako no! Please! Don't do this!" Mamoru cried with wide eyes.

Usagi shook with rage and confusion as she shot a powerful, but dull beam full of dark energy towards the desperate prince.

"ENDYMION, WATCH OUT!" James yelled

Mamoru raised his own crystal and sent an equal amount of golden energy towards the evil princess.

"PLEASE USAKO, JUST LISTEN TO ME!" Mamoru pleaded

Usagi let out a roar of shear pain and anger. Her blast of energy became strong and Mamoru struggled to hold it away from him without harming his beloved.

Minako awoke suddenly in James's arms and Chibi-Usa leapt on her with relief. Her blue eyes turned from the pink haired girl in her arms to the two lovers battling.

"He has to do it…" She whispered

James sighed but nodded with agreement.

"Usako remember us, please!" Mamoru begged, "You moved in with me! We were going to start a family! Think of your friends! And Motoki and your own family! Your father and brother love you Usako! Think of them! They don't want you to do this!" Mamoru cried. A tear rolled down his cheek.

Usagi's cold eyes widened "SHUT UP!" She screamed, thrusting her hands forward. Mamoru was gradually being shoved back by the force and power of her fatal beam just inches away from him.

"MAMORU SHES NOT LISTENING! YOU HAVE TO DO IT!" Minako cried, her own tears pooling down her face. Chibi-Usa sobbed, knowing what her future father had to do.

Mamoru's eyes darted to the blonde for a second then he bowed his head, however, not letting his power falter.

"I can't…" He whispered to himself brokenly.

"DIE!" Usagi shrieked her voice raw with emotion and frustration.

Mamoru lifted his head; his slow actions were full of on coming remorse. His watering eyes connecting with Usagi's dry ones. She glared at him; he could see the hatred aimed at him. He searched her any part of his Usako's bright glow but found nothing but dull death. His head fell again through deep depression and desperation.

A betrayed sob escaped his tight throat. He knew his Usako was long gone.

His head snapped up once more, his eyes blurred and watery but strong and firm.

"I cannot let you take over this world Usako…Gomenasai…" Another sob escaped his lips. Usagi smirked at him.

"Your not going to attempt to destroy your beloved Serenity, are you Endymion? How cruel…" She pouted mockingly.

Mamoru looked away from her eyes and looked at Chibi-Usa who was buried in Minako's arms.

"I love you," He mouthed to her. The little girl nodded her head, sobs shaking her tiny frame. She mouthed back "I love you to" Then she gave him a small nod, silently telling him that he was doing the right thing.

He closed his eyes for a second, stopping the tears that threatened to spill over his barriers. He opened them again and looked at Minako and James.

They both nodded at him, telling him that he had to do it… for the good of the world.

Usagi watched with slight worry but deep wonder. He wouldn't try and kill me…would he? She thought, her eyes shot to his powerful pulsing crystal in his hands and she took a deep breath.

"Im sorry Usako" Mamoru whispered staring at the black haired princess infront of him. Suddenly his strong beam started to glow brighter and he concentrated on his love for her and their love for the world.

His beam gradually begun to overcome Usagi's and her eyes narrowed with determination and pure detestation

"Im going to kill you slowly so you feel the pain that I felt when you all turned against me! Then when you're near your death bed I will torture that little girl and you'll have to watch her slowly bleed to death and cry for her precious father!" Usagi spat, glaring at the armoured prince infront of her.

Chibi-Usa gasped and shivered and Minako's hold on her tightened.

Mamoru's eyes widened and his energy grew stronger and more powerful "You will do no such thing Usako," He said calmly, but tears were threatening to spill over his barriers once again.

Usagi smiled "Just watch me" Her beam suddenly exploded and cut through Mamoru's like a knife in butter. Mamoru gasped as he struggled to keep her fatal weapon away from him.

Beads of sweat and a strained look plastered his face, pain obvious in his eyes as he battled to save the world from this now evil princess. Minako suddenly let go of the little girl in her arms and stumbled to her feet.

"He needs help" She said

James a Chibi-Usa nodded, they both got up and ran over, beside the prince.

Mamoru looked shocked and shot a concerning glance at Chibi-Usa. The little girl gave him a strong determined look in return and he sighed.

Chibi-Usa held his firm but trembling arm that was busy wielding his crystal while James held the other one, Minako took hold of Chibi-Usa's hand and they all closed there eyes, starting to channel their energies through Mamoru and into the Golden Crystal.

Usagi's eyes widened when she saw the others helping and she took in a sharp intake of breath before thrusting more of her energy into her strong beam.

"Nobody's going to kill me…I'm invincible," She screamed fiercely

"You're human Usagi-Chan… just like us…you can feel what we feel…emotions and pain… you bleed just like us…" Minako stated gently

"We'll see" The black haired evil being smirked

Minako looked at Mamoru and he looked back. They shared a troubled look and a tear fell from Mamoru's shimmering midnight blue eyes. Minako nodded silently and he turned away from her with a disgusted look plastered on his face.

He stared at the woman a few feet away from him who was throwing all of her energy into destroying him. Another tear fell from his eyes as his hands shook with swallowed sobs.

" VENUS POWER!" Minako suddenly screamed making Usagi jump, her attention focused on the now orange Senshi and her eyes narrowed

"MARS POWER!" James shouted feeling Rei's presences beside him and giving him her energy, a peaceful smile rested on his lips, as he suddenly felt warm and tranquil.

"CHIBI-MOON POWER!" Chibi-Usa yelled, she felt Mamoru's hand squeeze hers reassuringly as she transformed into a pink and silver sailor Senshi uniform.

Mamoru smiled lightly, pride in his eyes as he watched his future daughter close her eyes with concentration. Another tear fell down his cheek, if this worked this would be the last time he ever saw his daughter again for she would not exist.

His attention turned back to the struggling princess; knowingly his energy had strengthened and was quickly over coming Usagi's. It was nearing her, scorching her delicate but evil body.

She hissed as she felt the overwhelming surge of energy edging closer and closer towards her. A sudden volt of power shot through her and out of her pulsing grey hands.

The armoured Mamoru let out a struggled shout as he fort to stand his ground. Beads of sweat descended from everyone's troubled, stressed brows.

"We can do this…" James whispered, his eyes shut tightly full of concentration and purity.

"We have to do this…" Sailor Venus shuddered with a slight chill. Her energy was being drained slowly but surely.

"We need to do this…" Sailor Chibi Moon murmured, taking in a deep breath and straining to give her father all of her power and energy.

Mamoru felt everyone's energy group together suddenly as he glowed pink, red and orange creating a massive peaceful glow that surrounded him and the others. His ray full of pure good chopped up several foot of Usagi's similar evil beam.

Usagi gasped, he was getting stronger and she was getting weaker. She was loosing.

Mamoru's shaking hands struggled to stay steady.

"CHIBI MOON POWER" Chibi-Usa screamed suddenly, tears pouring down her face as her eyes snapped open.

"VENUS POWER" Minako screamed along with the little girl as her eyes filled with determination but deep sorrow and pain.

"MARS POWER" James squeezed Minako's hand gently. His own eyes were hard with revenge however a deep depression settled beneath that as he channelled his last ounce of energy to his prince.

"GOLDEN CRYSTAL POWERRR!!!" Mamoru suddenly yelled, his tearful gaze met Usagi's blank but shocked one.

He watched as his strong powerful pulsing beam slammed into her petite body. A piercing agonising screech filled his ears as he watched the woman he loves, a few feet away from, die with such suffering and pain coursing through her small body.

Tear after tear fell down his cheeks, salty tears mixing with the dripping sweat, showing his hard work at destroying the one person he had ever loved and lived for.

His eyes followed the dying body as it fell with a thud onto the floor, writhing in utter shear torture and blinding pain. Her head turned as she looked up into Mamoru's distraught dark blue teary eyes.

"Im so sorry Usako" He gasped as sobs wracked through his strong muscular frame causing him to shake uncontrollably. He could barely hear Minako and Chibi-Usa crying behind him as James sniffled with loss.

A sudden light-filled Usagi's eyes, her hair erupted like a golden blonde waterfall, it fell around her dying cold body. She stared up at Mamoru through proud and understanding crystal clear blue eyes. Love shone through her windows clearly.

Mamoru's eyes widened. He ran and dropped beside her, picking her up as the golden light around them faded. A small smile graced the princess's lips, blood trickled down from the corner of her small pink mouth as the light from her eyes faded for the last time and he felt her go limp in his strong but shaking arms.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Mamoru yelled violently into the night's sky, sobs caught in his throat as he struggled to breath. His armour around him melted away as he became Tuxedo Kamen. He held her close, sobbing into her broken and bruised cooling body. Suddenly the weakness invaded his senses and he fell back slightly, he gently set Usagi on the ground and fell with a thud next to her as he was about to drift out of consciousness.

"Daddy…" A weak pitiful scared cry brought him back down to earth, his hair swung around him as he turned to see Chibi-Usa staring down at her hands as she slowly started to fade away.

"Chibi-Usa!" He cried, he gathered all the energy he had left and urgently crawled over to her gathering her in his arms. "I am so sorry Chibi-Usa…" He began to sob again.

Chibi-Usa smiled as lifted up a weak hand to rest on his cheek.

"Daddy I love you so much, I am grateful for the time I had with you guys. Don't blame yourself! You had to do it!"

Mamoru smiled through tears down at the little girl in his arms

"You are truly just like your mother" He laughed but sobbed at the same time.

Chibi-Usa giggled as tears trickled down her chubby rosy cheeks.

"Minako-Chan, James…" She called softly, trying to look around to see them.

"We're here Usa…" Minako bent down and held her chilling hand as James leant over her.

"Thank you for everything, and for saving my mommy from evil even if it didn't turn out the way I planned you still saved her. Arigato." She took in a weak deep breath "I love you both…" She wheezed, fading away even more "I love you papa" She whispered before finally fading away leaving Mamoru's shivering arms empty.

"I love you to Chibi-Usa" Mamoru cried into his bare arms.

Suddenly, Minako and James fell to the floor with exhaustion. Mamoru raised his weak, nearly dead, golden crystal and raised it to Usagi's body. Her body suddenly lifted off of the ground and was gently set down next to Mamoru. He held her cold hand and laid on the floor next to her and the other two. One big sob choked him as he struggled to breath with intense feeling of utter loss and desperation.

"At least we went out with a bang" Chimed Minako, a lonely tear fell down her face.

"Thank you guys…" Mamoru gasped through short breaths as tears still poured like rivers down his cheeks.

"Are you guys ok?" A new voice asked suddenly.

James smiled. "We're dying…" He stated simply

"You sacrificed you're lives for the earth… we all thank you and are truly grateful"

Mamoru raised his tired eyes to a brunette haired middle-aged woman with worried green eyes.

He let out a shaky sigh and half smiled.

"Everything's going to be ok now…" He breathed, his eyes finally falling shut. He grip on Usagi's hand released, as he let out his last short breath.

"Sayonara, Mamoru-San, James" Minako whispered before she also closed her eyes and went limp

"Im coming firefly" James smiled into the sky above them and suddenly let go, his head falling to the side and his eyes fluttering shut.

The brunette woman let out a gasp as she stumbled back. Reporters and camera crews started to emerge from the safety of the alleys surrounding the destroyed street before them. A blanket of sorrow and mourning lay over the distraught but grateful city.

A thunderous applause erupted from everyone in the street as civilians cried for the loss of the brave hero's.

Back in the safety and warmth of buildings Motoki sobbed with both grief and pride as he watched the dead bodies of his friends and the hero's of Tokyo and the world.

Ikuko wiped her eyes fiercely, watching her daughters broken body. She had only just twigged that she had been Sailor Moon the legendary Sailor Senshi that fought evil. She grabbed her coat and headed to the arcade, still crying, as she knew someone who would have the answer and comfort to her questions.

Together Ikuko and Motoki held each other as they shared their heartache and despair of loosing their loved ones but in return Tokyo was safe from the Dark Kingdom once again, but this time it felt like for the first time in a long time that there was actually going to be some peace throughout Japan and Earth.
