The feeling of Usako's transformation whirled in my chest, and I automatically transformed myself, following where her energy lead me. Her emotions were linked to mine, and I noticed she was panicking. Pushing my legs, I jumped longer distances and ran faster to where she needed me.

As I arrived to the scene, the senshi were already battling against men who were blocking each other's attacks: dodging, kicking, punching. I looked around for Sailor Moon, and finally found her dodging one of the men who was almost too fast for her trying to grab her. I began to run her way, but I stopped when she found herself behind him and kicked him square in the side.

Out of the corner of my eye, another was approaching me with his sword drawn out, ready to fight me. Quickly I drew out my choice of weapon and blocked their attack. After what seemed like an hour of block each other's blows, I heard a familiar voice call out my name, terror obviously embedded within their words. I couldn't turn around though for turning my back against the enemy would guarantee my death. With the sound of shuffling and a sword unsheathing, someone was gaining on me, wanting to injure me with my back against them. If I kept the person who I was fighting occupied, maybe I could find a way to have them strike one another.

The man was budging as I tried to navigate towards my other opponent, so I braced the impact as they grew closer; I was ready for the pain, but it never came. All the noise that resonated throughout the area was a sickening stabbing sound followed by a faint grunt from the lips of a woman. One of the senshi. A deafening silence hushed across the battlefield, and I turned around to see the back of Sailor Moon's head. Painfully I looked down to see the end of a sword jutting from her back. Crimson blood started to gush as the sword was quickly drawn from out of her. A bright light invaded the whole area, leaving it clear of all enemies after it dissolved. Because of the predicament she was in, her Ginzuishou reacted, leaving no enemies alive.

Catching her as she tumbled backwards, blood covered the both of us, but my worries were not of my tuxedo becoming stained. No, my heart lurched with the most agonizing pain I have ever felt. My darling Usako sacrificed herself to save my own life.

"Mamo-chan…" she spoke as she rested her head in my lap, her voice trembling slightly with fear.

"Why, Usako…why?" I replied, my voice also breaking.

"I…wanted you… to be safe…" Usako responded in between grasps of breath.

I enveloped her in a tight embrace, as tight as I could without inflicting anymore pain upon her. Grasping her hand, I whispered memories of our past into her ear. I retold her stories of how we met on the Moon Kingdom, when we learned of each other's identities, where we first kissed.

I watched her eyes fade in and out as she listened; I could tell she was only understanding bits and pieces for she was too close to slipping away. As I spoke about our engagement, her eyes closed for the last time and her chest ceased of breathing. My breath faltered and tears escaped my eyes in rivers as her hand became limp within mine. Her lips maintained a dainty smile, reminding us all that she was no longer in pain.

Koishiteru, Usako.
