Here's the new chapter and I hope you like it because it's a lot darker than some of the others. If you noticed the rating is now M because there are some mature scenes in here. Not really graphic, but just...mature. And I hope no one is offended because this isn't meant to offend anyone. Plus there's something shocking in here that I'm sure you didn't expect. COL232 has a lot of good ideas that I wouldn't have thought of for something like this, so I'm glad to be working with her. :D As always, you should PM her or leave a review after you read and tell us what you think! Love ya~!

Time passed onwards, as it is meant to, and the nations made a startling discovery. The young moon princess was reborn time and time again in all of their lands, only for her life to be tragically cut short each time by war, strife, and sickness. They watched in horror as she was born and killed in each of their countries in turn.

First was Italy, in the time of his Granpapi Rome. She had been a beauty in a white tunic, striking even in the position they found her in. Trapped by a gang of four men, she was restrained and unconscious. An unidentifiable man whispered evilly to Roman Empire who was also standing there solemnly. "She is from a dangerous family, sire. We must not allow her to live nor to seduce any of our men!" Feliciano's beloved grandfather nodded and with a strike of his sword she was dead. Never did he see the smirk on the man's lips as he kicked aside her golden haired head.

Feliciano gasped inwardly as they were brought to the time of the Holy Roman Empire, his first love. Within his time, she was once again reborn, only to be cut down again by the same evil man, this time by his own hands. They could see the darkness of his hair as he stabbed the children she was attempting to hide before turning to Serenity herself. Later he told Roderich that it was she who had murdered the children before taking her own life.

Some time later she was born into a peasant village in France. Francis recognized her as his praised Jeanne d'Arc. He relived her rise to fame, leading Francis's armies against the English. But once again life was all too short when she was tried by the Church and no one would come to her aid. As she burned at the stake, the same black haired man gleefully urged on the fire below her body. A glint of blue could be seen in his eyes.

Her next rebirth was in England. With the American Revolution upon her, she was caught by the opposing troops and held captive in a barn. Her slender body was ravaged by the sex-starved men of the army until it finally gave out and she died once more. The same black-haired male was slaughtering the farm animals for food, but would always take a joyful peek at the line of men taking the poor girl.

Yorktown was next, as French troops stormed around her. This time she told them she would do whatever they wished so long as they spared her little brother. Unfortunately, her sacrifice was in vain as he was still taken away and killed while her body was used and discarded once more, like a bit of trash.

Once more in France the young girl held the last queen's hand, trying to guide her to safety, only to be struck down and beheaded with the rest of the tragic family.

In London, she ruled for nine short days before Lady Jane Gray was flung to the guillotine by Bloody Mary. Before she was killed she could only blink up at the crowd in confusion and dismay, wondering what it was she had done wrong.

In one life she was born with different looks; auburn hair and mischief filled brown eyes. She rode down a staircase on a sled and spoke wonderful Russian. She was a pretty Grand Duchess, dancing in Ivan's arms at a wonderful ball. Unfortunately, she was later herded into a basement, her dress loaded with gems, and shots and stabs rang through the air. Ivan could only turn away in shame after this display.

In an extravagant palace in China, she was dragged away with her friends. A shovel was thrust into her small hands as Japanese soldiers forced the girl to dig her own grave, before shoving her in. They laughed as shovel-full after shovel-full of dirt was flung upon her terrified face.

In Germany's most dreaded days they found her in a death camp, in line to face the end. Seeing the terrified look on the child's face in front of her, she offered to take her place and show her it was ok, because after it was over they would all be happy in the afterlife. And so, she put herself before the girl, giving her the last bit of hope she could muster for the both of them as she stepped into the oven.

The nations were in shock that they had all encountered this girl before the new era of peace, and they were all ashamed of the ways in which she perished again and again. And noticeable to each of them was that in every new existence, not only did she die just before her fourteenth year, but the man with the dark hair and piercing blue eyes was always there, watching almost in glee.

At last she arrived in Tokyo. While in her lives before she had been an elegant beauty with grace, charms, and brains, here she was clumsy, a bit on the ditzy side, and her only charm lay in her ability to make friends with anyone that crossed her path.

Unfortunately the Negaverse, having also been sealed in the crystal's power on the moon, was finally able to escape in this time and once again try to take over the galaxies. They watched as each of the senshi were awakened beginning with Sailor Moon, then Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, ending with Venus joining them from England after a short time of being Sailor V. At last what appeared to be a showdown in the Tokyo Tower revealed that Sailor Moon was the princess, and the man that she argued and fought with was the prince of Earth from the long lost Silver Millennium.

As one, the nations gaped in shock. For after all the scenes they had just witnessed, they identified the prince as the man with the black hair and blue eyes who had mocked and enjoyed Serenity's many deaths. However, he had her and the others convinced that he was actually on their side and that he and the princess were in love.

He was then snatched away and 'brainwashed' to fight against her, until at long last she faced the Negaverse and its queen, Beryl. One by one the reborn princesses lost their lives until at last Sailor Moon faced the queen and her beloved prince. She finally destroyed the dark queen, dying in the process to be reborn again with no memories.

The shortest chapter of the saga was next, when a pair of alien twins came to Earth to sustain their Tree of Life with earthling energy. The senshi were given back their memories by the guardian cat Luna so that they could fight this new enemy. In the end, Sailor Moon used her lunar powers to heal the tree and renew its life, and bid a happy farewell to the duo.

Next came the Black Moon Kingdom from Nemesis, hot on the trail of a little girl with red eyes and pink hair who claimed her mother ruled the world. She was sent to Sailor Moon from the future to recruit her help. Eventually, the girl was brainwashed by the dark side and took her father for a lover. Prince Diamond of Nemesis was obsessed with Neo Queen Serenity, even going so far as to kidnap her. But soon he realized the error of his ways and turned against the head honcho, Wise Man. When Sailor Moon was able to change the pink-haired girl back, they used their two crystals together to destroy this evil.

Then came Mistress Nine, Pharaoh 90, and the Death Busters, snatching away heart crystals in search of the three talismans. With them came new senshi, the Outers. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto who were and continued to be the first line of defense of the princess. Mistress Nine, who had been possessing a young sickly girl named Hotaru, was soon defeated by the girl's alter ego Sailor Saturn, the bringer of death and rebirth. She used her powers to conquer Pharaoh 90 and would have died were it not for Sailor Moon's aid which allowed her to be reborn as a baby.

Nehellania and the Dead Moon Circus were the next bunch. They opened the dream mirrors of many different people in search of Pegasus and his golden crystal. It turned out that he was hiding in the dreams of Sailor Chibi Moon. Eventually, the four girls who had been working for Nehellania turned against the evil queen and helped the senshi, and Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon were able to seal her off in the darkness. Or so they thought.

Not long after, Nehellania was freed and attacked once again, through mirrors. She captured the prince and almost managed to keep him forever and alter the entire future. That is, until all the Sailor senshi banded together and lent their power to Sailor Moon so she could become Eternal and let the queen be reborn as a young princess.

The very last enemy, named Sailor Galaxia, appeared and literally ripped the Star Seeds from the senshi's bodies starting first with the prince who was on his way to New York for college. Her minions were all Sailor senshi as well, which made the original senshi wary about trusting another new group, the Sailor Starlights. When the darkest hour was upon them however, the Starlights and Sailor Moon teamed up and Sailor Moon was able to use the power of her Silver Crystal to release Chaos from Galaxia's body, making her good once again.

After this final chapter, the sights before their eyes faded and they slowly came back to reality.
