Now we are finally at the original chapter of the story. I want to personally thank you for the support this far and for giving me the strength to continue to story like no other. However, I was running out of ideas at first but I thought that it would seem fair to put some of the original chapters into the story so we all could be on track within the story. It also might seem to help to know where we are going.
I know that I have kicked Esmeraude out of the previous chapter, but I have brought her back into this chapter with a new look. However, I wondered what happened behind the scenes about our heroes before returning to the 30th Century. So here's a theory of what could have happened. I hope you might like it.
(I do not own Sailor Moon Crystal. I only own my OCs.)
Here's what if...this would happen within this chapter...
Previously on Sailor Moon Crystal ~ The Exclusive Earth's Journey...
After the night of the dream adventure has ended, Lily, Bailey, and the Sailor Guardians of the Sacred Gems have discussed each other and Lily tells everyone about the accouterment, including warning Usagi, Minako, Mamoru, Luna, and Artemis.
Once informed, they quickly traveled through time. Along the way, they met the Sailor Guardian of Space and Time: Sailor Pluto. With explanation and forgiveness, Sailor Pluto has given the group permission to go to the future and partly reveals the identity of the royals that live upon Lily and Chibi Usa.
As the group entered the future, it was not what it seemed. With a few bumps revealing among the streets that nearly horrified at the sights. Including meeting more people from the Black Moon. Together, they defeated the enemy. But what confused Sailor Moon and Sailor Earth the most was when the Moon Rod wasn't responding. What could have caused it, they were not sure. However, the group agreed not further to explore Lily's/Sailor Earth's wrong side. That includes never insulting one of her family members.
And now, the conclusion...
As the group walks through the hall, following the youngest future child to a room with an altar. It has a transparent silver-like crystal, however, within the crystal. It has a female figure, lying comfortably within the center of the crystal. "Who is that person inside?" Artemis asked in awe.
"That figure is our mother," Sailor Earth answered. Slowly, Chibi Usa approaches it closely. Sailor Earth followed.
"Hey Mommy," Chibi Usa spoke softly. "We're home."
"Chibi Usa, Lily, who is that woman?" Sailor Moon asked. "And what is her name?"
"Like I said before," Sailor Earth spoke. "This is our mother."
"Neo Queen Serenity," Chibi Usa finished the introduction.
"Neo Queen Serenity?" the group echoed. Suddenly, a kitten appears out of nowhere and meows happily. The kitten has gray for with a light violet color around its neck and has a bell attached to it. Its eyes are garnet-colored and it has a crescent moon on its forehead.
"A kitten?" Luna gasped in surprise.
"Big Sister Dian!" Bailey wagged her tail happily
"Big sister?" Artemis echoed in confusion.
"Hey Little Sister Bailey," Diana the kitten purred happily.
"Diana!" the sisters smiled.
"You're alive," Chibi Usa smiled brightly. Chibi Usa was about to kneel. Suddenly, the kitten took off behind the curtains.
"Big Sister Diana?" Bailey tilted her head.
"Where are you going?" Chibi Usa asked in confusion.
The kitten meowed happily as an older/younger Tuxedo Mask look-alike stepped forward.
Sailor Jadeite (covered her eyes), Sailor Zoisite (covered her ears), and Sailor Nephrite (covered her mouth) gasped as they do see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil moment. Tuxedo Mask rubbed his eyes as Sailor Venus, Artemis, and Luna blinked.
"Wait, is that…?" Sailor Topaz gasped.
"No way," Sailor Turquoise gasped.
"It can't be," Tuxedo Masked gasped.
"Tuxedo Mask?" Sailor Moon covered her mouth.
The future Tuxedo Mask smiled, kindly.
Act 14: Crystal Tokyo ~ King Endymion and the Children of the Future!
While everyone except for Sailor Kunzite, Sailor Earth, Chibi Usa, and Bailey are staring at Tuxedo Mask look alike. "Wait…" Sailor Moon broke the silence. "How is this…?"
"Daddy!" Chibi Usa gasped.
"Papa!" Sailor Earth smiled with joy and relief. "You're all right!"
"Daddy?" Sailor Moon echoed in shock.
"Papa?" Tuxedo Mask blinked in shock. Suddenly, Chibi Usa ran towards her father in joy. In a blink of an eye, she went right through him.
"She went right through him," Sailor Venus gasped.
"I…I don't understand," Sailor Earth blinked.
"Daddy?" Chibi Usa turned to her father in confusion, while the Tuxedo Mask look alike clinched his fist in sadness. "Why can't I hug you?"
"Papa…" Sailor Earth stepped forward. "This interface…is it…?"
"Don't worry Moonflower," the Tuxedo Mask look alike smiled softly. "It's nothing to worry about." Slowly, Chibi Usa went to her sister's side. "However, I am glad you and your sister have made it home safely."
Bailey barked as she padded to the sisters' side.
The Tuxedo Mask look alike chuckled, "Including Bailey's and the Sailor Guardians of the Sacred Gems return."
"Happy to be home, Good King Endymion." Bailey wagged her tail happily.
"King Endymion?" Artemis echoed.
"As well you know," King Endymion continued. "Traveling to the past was very dangerous, however, you all have the right to go. And I am very proud of you both."
"So, you're not mad?" Sailor Earth asked.
"Disappointed at first, but not anymore." King Endymion smiled.
"Daddy," Chibi Usa smiled softly.
"Glad to make you proud," Sailor Earth smiled softly.
King Endymion nodded. "Welcome to the magnificent Crystal Palace," King Endymion turned to Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus, Tuxedo Mask, Luna, Artemis, and the Sailor Guardians of the Sacred Gems. "Crystal Tokyo of the 30th Century!" Slowly, Sailor Kunzite kneeled.
"It's an honor to be here, your majesty." Sailor Kunzite replied.
"Kunzite?" Sailor Venus asked, confusingly.
"She knew?" Sailor Nephrite whispered.
Sailor Jadeite shrugged.
How did Kunzite know? Sailor Earth wondered.
"Rise Sailor Kunzite," King Endymion spoke. "There's no need for that."
Sailor Kunzite nodded as she stood up.
"How did you…" Sailor Zoisite whispered as she was about to ask her.
"I'll explain later," Sailor Kunzite whispered in return.
Sailor Jadeite, Sailor Zoisite, Sailor Nephrite, Sailor Turquoise, and Sailor Topaz nodded.
"I am sorry that you were thrust into battle right after you all have just arrived," King Endymion apologized. "This is not the Crystal Tokyo that I wanted you all to see."
"Neither of us wasn't prepared to see the sight to see it, Papa." Sailor Earth spoke, "So you don't have to apologize for it."
"I understand," King Endymion nodded. Before anyone was about to speak, Sailor Moon looks at the glass wall. Noticing that King Endymion does not have a reflection.
What happened? Sailor Moon wondered. Why does he not have a reflection?
"As you can see, I am presently not a man of flesh and blood," King Endymion spoke. Snapping Sailor Moon out of thought. "My physical body is in another room, laying unconscious for a moment. What you see now is an Astral Projection. A spirit apart from my earthly form."
"Of course, it all makes sense now." Sailor Zoisite almost sighed in relief. "You need to go to a high spiritual level to travel out of mind and body to explore and watch over things while a body is resting from exhaustion or physical injury."
"Well, that explains why he doesn't have a reflection from the glass wall because his spirit form does not share the gift of reflection as a regular body does." Sailor Jadeite nodded.
"That is correct," King Endymion nodded.
"But…can you introduce who you truly are, properly?" Tuxedo Mask asked.
"You haven't figured it out, yet?" Sailor Earth mumbled.
"It's all right, Moonflower." King Endymion spoke, "But he is right. Let me introduce myself. I am King of Crystal Tokyo and the Moon Kingdom, King Endymion."
"King Endymion?" everyone except Sailor Kunzite echoed.
"Now Small Lady, Moonflower," King Endymion spoke. It's time to properly introduce yourselves." The youngest sister looks nervous before putting on a brave face. Suddenly, the tiara on Sailor Earth's forehead disappeared. Replaced by the Earth's symbol with a crescent moon in the middle. Suddenly, her uniform was replaced by a beautiful green, floral dress.
Everyone gasped.
"Well, that explains the new hairstyle from earlier." Sailor Venus spoke.
"Oh, you think?" Sailor Kunzite smiled.
"Heh, heh." Sailor Venus shrugged. "You never told us that she's…"
"I know," Sailor Kunzite nodded.
"Honored Guests," Chibi Usa spoke up first. "Welcome to our esteemed kingdom." Both of the girls curtsied. "I am Usagi Small Lady Serenity Chiba Tsukino. Second Daughter of Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymion. Crown Princess of the Moon and Heir to Silver Millennium."
"And I am Lily Moonflower Terabithia Tsukino Chiba," Lily spoke. "Eldest Daughter of Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymion. Crown Princess of the Earth and Heir to Golden Millennium."
"We are pleased to make your acquaintances," the two sisters said together.
"Well done, Small Lady, Moonflower," King Endymion spoke proudly with a smile. "A respectful and cordial greeting."
Chibi Usa blushed before King Endymion addressed his daughters.
Lily smiled softly.
"And you two will one day be as elegant and refined as Queens," King Endymion continued.
"Small Lady, Moonflower," the gray kitten spoke. "The King was worried about you both, so he watched over you two while you were in the past."
"Really, Diana?" Chibi Usa asked.
"Of course," Diana nodded. "As well I was worried about my adopted sister, but she has done well with her progress to be Moonflower's future advisor."
"Big Sister Diana," Bailey blushed.
Diana giggled as Chibi Usa picked Diana up. Lily picked Bailey up as she tried to comfort her.
"You look beautiful Big Sister," Chibi Usa spoke.
"Thank you," Lily smiled.
"As the youngest daughter of the Queen, she tends to be spoiled." King Endymion spoke. "Surprisingly that the oldest of the bunch was spoiled before maturity took over."
"You don't have to say it like that, Papa." Lily blushed.
"Hold it," Sailor Moon spoke. "Back up. Did you say the Queen and your Daughters?"
"Yes," King Endymion nodded. "Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, these are your Future Daughters."
"What?" both Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask jumped in shock.
"SO…CHIBI USA AND LILY ARE MY DAUGHTERS!" Sailor Moon cried in shock. "MAMO AND I ARE THEIR PARENTS!"
"It's hard to believe, but yes." Lily nodded.
"When did that…?" Sailor Jadeite blinked.
"Well, that explains a lot," Sailor Topaz exclaimed.
"No kidding," Sailor Turquoise shook.
"Whoa," Sailor Venus exclaimed as both Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask blushed hard. They both look at each other and looked away. "Then that means that Neo-Queen Serenity in the future is…"
"That's right," King Endymion nodded. "She is the future version of Sailor Moon."
"A Queen, me?" Sailor Moon gasped. "I'll be who I am in the 30th Century?"
"Wait," Sailor Venus spoke. "What about the Sailor Guardians of the Sacred Gems? Where do they fit into this?"
"I can answer that," Sailor Kunzite spoke. "May I?"
"You may," King Endymion nodded.
"You see," Sailor Kunzite began. "My true name is Sarah Aphroma Aino. Daughter of Princess Minako aka Sailor Venus and Sir Kunzite. Knight and Guardian of Princess Terabithia."
"Wait…Princess Minako," Artemis spoke. "Could that mean…?"
"You're my…?" Sailor Venus was about to ask.
"That's right," Sailor Venus nodded. "I am yours and Kunzite's Future Daughter."
"But how?" Sailor Venus panicked.
"So that means," Luna spoke. "The other Guardians…"
"That's right," Sailor Kunzite nodded. "Sailor Jadeite, Sailor Zoisite, and Sailor Nephrite are the future daughters of the Sailor Guardians. Sailor Jadeite aka Jade Pheonix Hino is the Future Daughter of Princess Rei aka Sailor Mars and Prince Julius aka Sir Jadeite. Sailor Zoisite aka May Cloudstorm Mizuno is the Future Daughter of Princess Ami aka Sailor Mercury and Prince Zackary aka Sir Zoisite. And Sailor Nephrite aka Rue Mayflower Kino is the Future Daughter of Princess Makoto aka Sailor Jupiter and Prince Nicholas aka Sir Nephrite. And we all are Guardians and Knights of our princess, Princess Terabithia."
"Wait…. WHAT?" Sailor Jadeite, Sailor Zoisite, and Sailor Nephrite jumped. "WE'RE THEIR DAUGHTERS?"
"Yes," Sailor Kunzite nodded.
"How did you know?" Sailor Zoisite asked.
"On the day I awakened, the spirit of my future father: Kunzite came to me." Sailor Kunzite answered, "He has explained to me about the mission and where I come from. Or should I say when?"
"So you were serious about that we were sent to the past for our mission?" Sailor Nephrite asked.
"Yes," Sailor Kunzite nodded.
"But what about us?" Sailor Turquoise asked. "Where do I and Sailor Topaz fit in?"
"You two were children of an old ally that was forgotten," Sailor Kunzite answered. "But taken in by the guardians so you could have a home. Until we were very young, destiny turned us into stones and transport us to the past so all could live normal lives in different timelines. That's how our mission began."
"Well, that explains a lot," Sailor Topaz crossed her arms.
"Indeed," King Endymion nodded.
"So…me and Kunzite," Sailor Venus spoke. "Will have a child together and…we will be together again…" Sailor Venus smiled. "Don't know how or when but I'm glad to hear it."
"So am I," Sailor Kunzite smiled. As everything calmed down, Luna examined the crystal on the altar.
"It looks like the Silver Crystal is expended around Neo-Queen's body," Luna stated. "But that only happens when she is in great danger. King Endymion, what accord made the crystal do this?"
"I cannot tell you," King Endymion shrugged. "Because I am not sure for myself. It happened when we were attacked." King Endymion looks back at Sailor Moon behind him. "Queen Serenity rarely leaves the palace unless it's to go somewhere to see an old friend. Until that day, she did. She looked flustered and ran out as if in a panic."
In shock, Chibi Usa looked down as she heard that news.
"Without a warning," King Endymion continued. "There was a massive explosion and in an instant, everything was blown away. The only building standing was the Crystal Palace. When it was over, there was no sound but only the silence of death. The next moment, we were attacked. The Silver Crystal immediately engulfed the queen's body. It was as you suggested, it appeared to protect her. But I, the four Guardians, and the four faithful knights were not so fortunate. Mercury, Zoisite, Mars, Jadeite, Jupiter, Nephrite, Venus, Kunzite, and myself; took the full force of the blast and we fell. I don't know how or why, Small Lady, Moonflower, their future advisors, and four others appeared to be spared."
"Four others?" Sailor Kunzite echoed.
"Wonder who they could have been," Sailor Turquoise wondered.
"Papa, do you mean…?" Lily asked.
"Yes, but do not worry." King Endymion reassure her. "They are somewhere safe for now."
"Oh, thank goodness." Lily sighed in relief. But I am surprised that Papa won't tell them about the items that he gave me before he went unconscious. Lily thought.
"Ever since my daughters were young," King Endymion continued. "I use to tell them stories of my youth. About the Queens' heroism and exploits as Sailor Guardian: Sailor Moon. They have heard of the legendary and invincible Sailor Guardians countless times. So, therefore, I am not surprised that Small Lady went to the past to seek your help when the disaster hit. Including when Moonflower followed to find her Guardians."
Chibi Usa blushed as she turned away.
"Diana on the other hand couldn't bear to be away from Luna and Artemis," King Endymion continued. "But Bailey was almost reckless to follow Moonflower to learn on her own. So I'm not surprised for their actions to stay behind or go." Suddenly, Diana jumped down from the young princess's arms and intertwined around her legs. Lily settled Bailey down, suddenly Bailey sat down as Diana sat right next to her.
"It's nice to meet you all," Diana purred.
"Let's introduce ourselves," Bailey barked happily.
"I am Diana," Diana bowed. "Daughter of Luna and Artemis."
"And I am Bailey," Bailey bowed. "Adopted Daughter of Luna and Artemis."
"What?" both Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus gasped as everyone glanced down at the cats; who are in shock.
"O-o-our daughter?" Luna echoed as she blushed.
"A-a-adopted daughter?" Artemis blushed hard. Well, that explains a lot. Artemis thought for a moment.
"Yes," both the puppy and the kitten replied with a smile.
"King Endymion, could you please back up for a moment." Tuxedo Mask spoke, "If it's been over nine centuries then why haven't you aged? You don't appear to be much older than I am now."
"In the royal family," King Endymion replied. "The average life span is a thousand years."
"A thousand years?" Sailor Moon echoed.
"Typically, the members of the Silver Millennium family grow and mature just like humans until they've reached adulthood." King Endymion informed them. "At the age of 18, Serenity has given birth to her first child to earn maturity and learn more responsibilities of making the right choices. Three years later; at the age of 21, Serenity ascended to the throne and was shortly there. She has given birth to her second child: Small Lady and her twin sister. She stays at a safe place for a moment."
"I gave birth to twins?" Sailor Moon asked. "Within my second pregnancy?"
"Yes," Lily nodded. "But Little Moon Rose is staying at a safe place that is a friend to us. Seemed to be untouched and hidden from the attack. So she is safe, I hope."
"However," King Endymion continued. "Serenity hasn't aged a day since. It was the Silver Crystal that has given her eternal life and youth. When I married into the Silver Millennium family, I too was granted that power, including Moonflower since she was a newborn at that time."
Everyone blinked.
Lily blushed nervously.
"And we hardly the only ones that the Silver Crystal has blessed its gifts," King Endymion continued. "Once Neo-Queen Serenity began to rein, the citizens of Crystal Tokyo became longed lived as well. Now practically live into their 10th Century without growing frail and decrypted. Having been granted its greatest wishes, humanity began to peace of prosperity, we thought it would last forever. We were wrong."
The group shared a worried look.
"That enormous black monument appeared after that mysterious explosion," King Endymion continued. "It sucked in any the energy until space itself began to bend and wrap. And then, it got worse. The comatose masses, who initially survived the blast, started to disappear because of spatial distortion…until there was no one left. I fear that this planet is facing destruction."
"But Papa, the Earth is still alive," Lily spoke. "I felt it."
"I know," King Endymion nodded.
"So is there any hope left?" Sailor Moon asked.
"The only thing that can save the Earth now is the Legendary Silver Crystal," King Endymion answered. "Unfortunately, the only one who could use the crystal is Neo-Queen Serenity." King Endymion turned to look at his unconscious wife. "And there is no waking her. If would seem," King Endymion turned back to the group. "That we have no other options left."
"But Papa," Lily spoke. "What about the Golden Crystal?" She pulled out her own Golden Crystal from her brooch. "Will it still work to save the Earth?"
"You have a crystal?" Sailor Moon and Chibi Usa asked.
"It looks just like the Silver Crystal, but only golden color." Luna examined. "Wondered why." She breathily whispered.
"Perhaps," King Endymion spoke. "But it's not powerful as the Silver Crystal. It may have half of its power but not full strength and can't risk losing connections that live between you and the Earth. I'm sorry."
"I understand," Lily nodded. As she put the crystal back into the brooch.
"But King Endymion," Sailor Venus spoke. "I'm sure that the Black Moon is behind this catastrophe. Do you know why they are?"
King Endymion went silent for a moment, he sighed. "Moonflower, please escort them to the command center. I'll meet you all there." He spoke to his eldest daughter.
"Of course," Lily nodded as her father disappeared. "Everyone, this way please." Lily leads the group through a different hall. Leaving Neo-Queen Serenity alone.
As they left, inside the crystal. While the queen is still unconscious, a shed of tears appeared upon one of her checks as she still sleeping.
Once the group entered the command center, King Endymion reappeared in the room as he turned the lights on. Showing a more advanced version of the command center. "Oh wow," Sailor Venus exclaimed as she looked around.
"I bet some weaponry or some alliance would make this advance," Sailor Zoisite blinked.
"You are correct," King Endymion nodded.
"So about the Black Moon?" Sailor Moon asked. King Endymion turned towards the computer. His astral hand touched one of the system panels. Once activated, one of the screens has shown a picture of a red and black planet."
"What is that?" Sailor Moon asked.
"The planet called Nemesis," King Endymion replied.
"Planet Nemesis?" everyone echoed confusedly.
"I didn't know about this," Lily spoke. "Papa, could you please explain?"
"Of course," King Endymion nodded. "This planet was intact a hidden world within our very own solar system." King Endymion informed everyone. "A phantom planet that went undetected for quite some time. Centuries ago, an Earth criminal was guilty of the most grievous offenses and was banished there in favor of execution. Nemesis was quarantined and left alone. It was left unchecked for many centuries and eventually became a forbidden planet. However, a recent outpour of negative energy from Nemesis caught the attention of Scientists and they wanted to renew studying of the lost world. They never got the chance. The Black Moon hijacked the planet."
Everyone gasped.
"The Black Moon," King Endymion continued. "They are bloodthirsty archest, who rejected long life and refused to live peacefully in society. Treason, terrorism, and mass murder were the least of their crimes. Hence, they ceased the planet of darkness and left the Earth to establish a new base of operations there. And from there, they launched a full-scale assault." King Endymion sighed, "I fear that they plan to overthrow us, steal the Legendary Silver Crystal, and try to lay claim to this world. As well as our neighboring alliances." He activated another image. Showing the picture of a familiar crystal.
"The Black Monument," Tuxedo Mask gasped.
"The one that destroyed Crystal Tokyo?" Sailor Venus asked.
Chibi Usa stared at the monument in horror before she hid herself behind her sister.
"It's okay, Small Lady." Lily spoke, "Just try to stay calm and breath."
Chibi Usa nodded.
"I think that this is just a big chunk of the Malefic Black Crystal," Luna said as she looked at Artemis.
"Possibly," Artemis nodded.
"You know what type of stone this is?" King Endymion asked.
"Yes," both Luna and Artemis nodded.
"Members of the Black Moon used this substance and energy sources to power their attacks," Artemis informed him. "And even a small fragment can be very dangerous."
"And also try to steal more energy and try to rewrite anything that lives between space and time," Bailey added.
"So that's it," King Endymion exclaimed. "The Black Moon is indeed planning more than conquering the Earth and changing the future. They also intend to go back in time and try to use this type of crystal to rewrite the past."
"Is that even possible?" Tuxedo Mask asked.
"From the encounter that I have from the past," Lily spoke. "It seems it could be possible." Suddenly, Sailor Moon stumbled before she caught herself from falling.
"Are you alright?" Sailor Venus asked as she held onto Sailor Moon.
"I'm alright," Sailor Moon answered. "I've just felt dizzy all of a sudden." For the instant, two of the cats along with Sailor Venus and the Sailor Guardians of the Sacred Gems noticed something below Sailor Moon.
Everyone gasped as they saw Sailor Moon's legs.
"Usagi," Luna meowed. "You are turning invisible!"
"Your legs…they're disappearing!" Artemis yelled in shock.
Sailor Moon gasped in shock as she looked at her hands. "My hands too!" Sailor Moon panicked. "What's going on?" Sailor Moon almost collapsed again when Tuxedo Mask felt faint. Both Sailor Turquoise and Sailor Topaz held his sides to keep him stable.
"I've got it too," Tuxedo Masked gasped as he noticed his hands started disappearing.
"Not good," Lily gasped.
"Quick!" King Endymion gasped. "You two must return to the past before you disappeared together! Or worse, cause puncture in the space-time continuum." Suddenly, Lily's dress has disappeared and is replaced by her Sailor uniform.
"Being near the future selves that are my parents must have created a paradox that is risking a tear to the fabric of space and time." Sailor Earth spoke.
"That's terrible," Sailor Moon exclaimed in horror.
"Please forgive me," King Endymion spoke apological. "I shouldn't have let you stay here for this long."
"Please, don't apologize." Sailor Moon spoke kindly. "You have given us valuable information that we've needed."
"We are in your debt," Tuxedo Mask smiled.
"Now hopefully we'll be able to save…" Sailor Venus was about to speak.
"Rei Hino, who is Sailor Mars." Sailor Jadeite spoke.
"Ami Mizuno, who is Sailor Mercury." Sailor Zoisite added.
"And Makoto Kino, who is Sailor Jupiter." Sailor Nephrite finished the sentence.
"As prisoners of the Black Moon," King Endymion spoke. "They are properly being held on Nemesis."
"You think so?" Sailor Moon asked.
"Then allow me to assist in the rescue," King Endymion offered. "It's at least that I could do in return for your help. But right now, you must go."
"Then let's go to the doors of time," Sailor Earth suggested. "You guys will be stable once we get there."
"All right," everyone nodded.
"Thank you, your majesty." Sailor Venus thanked him. "We'll be back very soon."
King Endymion nodded. He turned to his daughters. "Small Lady," he spoke gently to the youngest. "I cannot protect you in my current form so you must return to the past. And Moonflower, you must continue to keep your sisters company. You may be a guardian but she needs guidance more than ever."
"I understand, Papa." Sailor Earth nodded.
"Try to be good girls," King Endymion added. "And please help whenever you can."
"Yes, Daddy." Chibi Usa nodded.
"Of course, Papa." Sailor Earth nodded.
"King Endymion," Tuxedo Mask spoke as he walked up behind him. "I swear to you that I will protect Small Lady and Moonflower with my life."
"As will I," the Sailor Guardians of the Sacred Gems agreed.
Sailor Moon gasped in surprise as she stared at Tuxedo Mask with the sisters.
"I must confess," King Endymion chuckled. "Talking to my younger self like this is a little strange."
"Oh, you think?" Sailor Topaz muttered.
"Topaz," Sailor Turquoise scolded her.
"You are right about that," Tuxedo Mask nodded.
"Please take care of my Daughters," King Endymion requested.
"I will," Tuxedo Mask nodded.
King Endymion smiled. "Now we must hurry," King Endymion spoke. "The Space-Time Door is at the rear of the palace, however, there's a shortcut to get there. Moonflower will lead you there. I'll be waiting for you at the door once you get there."
"Alright," everyone replied as King Endymion disappeared again.
"Come on everyone," Sailor Earth spoke as she turned off the lights. "We must hurry!"
"Okay," Sailor Moon weakly replied.
"Lead the way, princess." Sailor Kunzite offered.
"Okay," Sailor Earth nodded as she leads them out of the command center.
As the group is walking through the hallway, a thought has come to mind about Sailor Venus. "So…Lily," Sailor Venus spoke.
"Yes?" Sailor Earth replied.
"It's about Sailor Pluto," Sailor Venus began. "If she's a Sailor Guardian like we are, then how come we weren't allowed to know about her?" Sailor Earth tries to remember precisely how to answer that.
"Although Sailor Pluto also carries the title of a Sailor Guardian," Sailor Earth answered. "But she's not like us. Her is a separate and unique mission. Very much different from ours."
"How so?" Sailor Kunzite asked.
"You never mention this to us," Sailor Topaz spoke coldly with a scowl.
"You've never asked properly," Sailor Earth glared at Sailor Topaz. "However, the ancestry that runs in her veins is from Chronos, the God/Titian of Time."
"So she's part Olympian or Titian?" Sailor Nephrite asked.
"Probably," Sailor Earth shrugged. "She's the Solitary Guardian of the Door that is the threshold between time and space. Time alone is the last sacred domain. For millennia, Sailor Pluto has been the only keeper of the doorway of Space and Time. Protecting the forbidden realm."
"I see," Sailor Venus slowly understands.
"We're here," Sailor Earth announced. Seeing the door in front of them. Suddenly, King Endymion appeared right next to the door.
"Found your way alright?" King Endymion asked.
"Sorry Papa," Sailor Earth answered. "Just answering a few questions on the way."
"Understood," King Endymion nodded. Suddenly, the door to the realm of Space and Time has swung up.
As the door of Space and Time opens, Sailor Pluto turns in surprise. "Oh, umm…King Endymion." Sailor Pluto spoke.
"Sailor Pluto," King Endymion spoke. "I realize that it is high treason for even being here, but we need a Space-Time key. It's urgent."
"Of course," Sailor Pluto nodded as she took off one of the keys. Sailor Moon walks up to her. Sailor Pluto gently hands Sailor Moon the key.
"With this key," Sailor Earth spoke. "No matter where or when you are, you'll always be able to find your way back to Sailor Pluto. Pray upon the key and it creates a time warp. It will lead you to her."
"You remember well," Sailor Pluto smiled.
"Not the prayer though," Sailor Earth replied. "Small Lady taught it to me."
"Is that so?" Sailor Pluto raised a brow to Chibi Usa.
Chibi Usa blushed as she nervously laughed.
"Then, I better listen to the prayer from Chibi Usa as well." Sailor Moon muttered.
"Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus, Sailor Guardians of the Sacred Gems," King Endymion grasp their attention. "Sailor Pluto is older than all of us, she has watched eras past and future. Her wisdom is unparalleled."
Sailor Pluto looks at him in shock with a blush.
"In my absence," King Endymion continued. "You can rely on her judgment, trust her. She'll take care of you."
"We will," everyone replied.
"We'll get all the help that we can get," Sailor Earth smiled. Sailor Moon raised her hand in front of Sailor Pluto.
Sailor Pluto smiled as he shook her hand in return.
"Safe travels know," King Endymion smiled. As he headed back towards the palace with Diana following him. Sailor Pluto bowed in respect.
"Bye Diana," Chibi Usa waved.
"We'll see you real soon," Bailey barked.
Diana nodded as the door closes. Slowly, Sailor Moon held up the key which glowed before everything vanished.
In the current time, everything was normal until a gentle breeze blew. Suddenly, within a flash, Sailor Earth is holding Bailey in her arms with the Sailor Guardians of the Sacred Gems behind her. All the same time, they landed carefully and unharmed. Suddenly, they heard a crash. They looked, seeing a dog pile a few meters away from them. To their amusement, the girls snickered.
"I'm so saving this," Sailor Topaz grins as she pulls out her phone and looks at a picture of it.
"Awesome," Sailor Venus smiled as she looks around. "Looks like we've returned to the park to the park where and when we've left." Sailor Venus grinned. "That's a lucky break."
"Could you mind getting off of us Venus?" Sailor Venus groaned.
"Oops!" Sailor Venus freaked out. "I'm so sorry!" She jumped off and tried to help Sailor Moon up. "Are you okay?"
"Ow, don't worry about it." Sailor Moon rubbed her side.
"Here lean on me, Usagi." Sailor Venus continues to worry.
Sailor Earth cackled as she watches her future mother to try calm down Sailor Kunzite's future mother. "Imagine that would be us?" Sailor Earth whispered to Sailor Kunzite.
"How do you feel, Chibi Usa?" Tuxedo Mask asked.
"I'm fine," Chibi Usa replied. "But she's kind of heavy." Chibi Usa glared at Sailor Moon.
"Not funny, Chibi Usa." Sailor Moon muttered.
"Usako," Tuxedo Mask turns to his girlfriend. "I'll take Chibi Usa home with me. Lily can stay at Skylar's place. I felt bad what I did to her so I think that she needs to stay with someone for a little while."
"Sure, I don't mind that Lily would stay at my place." Sailor Turquoise shrugged.
"Why you?" Sailor Moon turned back to normal. "Give me one good reason why she can't go home with me like always."
"Usagi," Sailor Earth spoke as she turned back to normal. Everyone else in the group followed, including Mamoru.
"I'm responsible for both of the girls, that's why," Mamoru answered.
"Oh, you shouldn't have to go there," Taylor muttered.
"Besides, you need some rest." Mamoru continues.
"Why do you have to look after them on your own?" Usagi asked. "Don't you think that the sisters should have both of their parents with them?"
"Usagi," Lily wants to step in. But Rue stopped her. Lily looks at her confused.
Rue shook her head.
"Usako," Mamoru sighed as he stood up. "I…"
"No, I understand." Usagi trembled in frustration. "Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, the future, none of that matters to you and I don't matter to you either. All you are thinking about is Chibi Usa and Lily."
"That's not true," Mamoru shook.
"I don't believe you!" Usagi yelled before she ran off.
"Usagi!" Mamoru called out.
"Usagi, wait!" Lily called out. In the blink of an eye, Usagi is gone out of sight. Leaving everyone sad for a moment, including Mamoru and Lily the most.
Usagi as "Sandy" from Grease Soundtrack
Sang by: John Travolta
While everything is silent, Mamoru stepped forwards as a gentle breeze blew.
Stranded at the park
Mamoru began to sing while everyone remain silent and disappeared from his view.
Branded a fool
What will they say, Travel through Time?
Mamoru started to walk around the park.
Usagi, can't you see, I'm in misery
We made a start, now we're apart, there's nothin' left for me
Love has flown all alone, I sit and wonder why-y-y oh why you left me,
oh Usagi
Mamoru jumped onto the rails of the fountain that was in the middle of the park.
Oh Usagi, maybe someday, when the mission is done
Somehow, someway, our two worlds will be one
Mamoru jumped off the rail of the fountain.
In heaven forever and ever we will be, oh please say you'll stay, oh
Usagi
Mamoru walked towards the bench.
Usagi my princess, you hurt me real bad, you know it's true
But Usako, you gotta believe me when I say, I'm helpless without you
Mamoru jumped onto the bench. Expressing his feelings throughout any warnings.
Love has flown all alone, I sit, I wonder why-y-y oh why you left me, oh
Usagi
Mamoru steps down and sits down on the bench.
Usagi, Usagi, why-y-y-y, oh Usako
Mamoru buried his face into his hands in despair and guilt.
Back into reality, Mamoru shook his head and he looks down in guilt. What have I done? Mamoru wondered to himself.
Lily sighed in sadness. "Luna," Lily broke the silence. "Can you and Artemis watch over Bailey for a while?" Lily asked. "I think she would be more comfortable with you while this has happened."
"Of course," Luna nodded.
Artemis nodded. "Let's go stay at the command center for a while," Artemis offered to Luna and Bailey.
"Alright," Luna nodded. "Come along, Bailey."
"Coming," Bailey barked. "See you soon girls." Bailey waved as she, Luna, and Artemis left the park.
"Good day, Bailey." Everyone replied.
"Well, I see you girls later," Mamoru spoke.
"Okay, see you later Mamoru." Lily nodded, "And Chibi Usa, you behave yourself."
"I will," Chibi Usa nodded.
As Mamoru, Chibi Usa, Luna, Artemis, and Bailey are gone. Lily felt uneased, she turned to Sarah and Minako. "Hey Minako," Lily spoke.
"Yes?" Minako replied.
"Could you stay with Sarah for a while?" Lily asked, "Something tells me that she will protect you for a while."
"Sure thing," Minako nodded.
"Boy, do I have some things to tell you?" Sarah smiled brightly. "But only to a minimum."
"Okay," Minako smiled brightly.
"I bet we're going to hear their squeals from your apartment, Blitzy Feathers." Taylor crossed her arms.
"I got a feeling that you're going to be right," Skylar nodded nervously. Suddenly, May noticed something that is bothering Lily. As Lily is walking away from the group.
"Where are you going, Lily?" May asked.
"I'm going to check on Usagi," Lily replied. "I want to see if she's okay."
"Alright," May nodded.
"Go easy on her, Lily." Rue requested.
"I will," Lily nodded. "I will see you at your apartment, Skylar."
"Sure thing," Skylar nodded.
"See you guys later," Lily waved.
"Take care," the girls replied. Then Lily left the park.
"I wonder why she's so worried about Usagi that much," Jade wondered.
"Usagi is her future mother, of course, she gets worried about her." Minako shrugged.
"That's not all," Taylor shook. "It's pretty obvious about it."
"What do you mean, Taylor?" Sarah asked.
"She knows how to relate," Taylor answered. The girls remain silent as they are trying to understand what she meant.
When Lily got to the Tsukino's residence, she knocked on the door. Ikuko opened the door. "Welcome back Lily," Ikuko smiled. "How's your back?"
"Aches a little, but not that bad," Lily answered. "Has Usagi come in by any chance?"
"Why yes," Ikuko nodded as she lets Lily in. "She just went upstairs and entered her room, but she seems to be quite upset so suddenly. Do you know what could have happened?"
"Jealousy," Lily replied as she went up the stairs.
Ikuko blinked as her eyes turned to worry.
As Lily got to the Usagi's bedroom door, Lily was about to knock. Suddenly, she heard Usagi's voice. Once in her lifetime to hear a beautiful melody coming from her younger self instead of her future self.
"Hopelessly Devoted to You" from Grease
Sang by: Olivia Newton-John
In Usagi's room, she held a picture in a frame that is showing her with Mamoru. Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew into the room.
Guess mine is not the first heartbroken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know there's just no getting over you
Usagi sighed as she put the picture frame down.
You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see there's nothing else for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
Usagi started to lean against the wall of her room.
But now there's no way to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Usagi walked into her master bathroom. Leaning against the sink, looking at her reflection.
My head is saying Fool forget him
An image of Usagi turning away from Mamoru as he looks the other way that is overlapping her reflection.
My heart is saying don't let go
An image of Usagi looking back with a blush on her cheeks and Mamoru turning back to his attention to Usagi with a smile on his face: overlapping Usagi's reflection again.
Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
Suddenly, the image disappeared and Usagi left the bathroom. Almost leaning against the doorway.
But now there's no way to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Usagi went to her bed and sat down for a moment.
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you (hopelessly devoted to you)
Usagi lay down as she silently sobbed.
Lily sadden as she listened, noticing how hurt Usagi was and understood it. Lily cautiously knocks on the door. "Who is it?" Usagi sobbed slightly.
"Usagi, it's me." Lily spoke, "Can I come in?" There was silence for a moment.
"Sure," Usagi replied. Lily opened the door and went into the room.
As Lily entered the room, she sees Usagi's face is nearly covered with tear stains, and her eyes are swollen from all the crying. "Sorry to bother you," Lily spoke gently. "I just want to see that you are okay."
"It's okay," slightly sobbed. "I'm sorry about yelling in front of you and your sister. I just…couldn't help it."
"I know," Lily nodded. "I understand what you are going through."
"Really?" Usagi looks at her curiously.
"Having all the love and attention devoted to one being unexpected. It could lead to isolation or jealousy." Lily replied, "Trust me, I know what it is like."
"How could you know?" Usagi asked as she jumped off of her bed. "You didn't show any jealousy or anything towards your sister. You were so kind, loving, and strict towards your sister! How can you possibly ever…?"
"I was jealous before because my parents have given Chibi Usa a lot of attention ever since she was born!" Lily interrupted. Lily's eyes almost show tears as she huffed.
"Lily…you…?" Usagi almost lost some words.
"Including that, she will be the true heir of Silver Millenium's throne, where everyone would give her attention whenever she wanted." Lily sighed, "I was jealous of that love and respect that was going to be given to my sister. Despite of me being the eldest of the family, I wouldn't have that experience in my life. I know some siblings so get themselves in trouble to get attention. But not me, I isolated myself from that. I cried alone out of frustration and jealousy alone. Including crying myself to sleep at some nights." Lily slightly sobbed as tears flowed down her face. "I cried alone without anyone noticing. I almost lost my devotion or any ability to talk because of that. My parents have never noticed, not even the Guardians or the Knights even noticed it. Except for a few childhood friends…that looked after me since birth. They noticed it, and comfort me. Confronted me about my jealousy. I explained in front of them my feelings for the first time. I felt like to run away but they told me not to…giving me some reasons for me that I am needed to stay." Lily started to remember the past that lives within the future.
*Flashback, Within the 30th Century…*
Within Lily's room, she is no more than three and a half years old. She is crying and her friends are trying to calm her.
"Things Change" from the Land Before Time
Sang By the Main Characters in Land Before Time
Young Lily got off of her bed. Walking around the room. Her childhood friends followed.
Young Lily
Just when your life is perfect
everything's looking bright,
you're with your friends
'til daylight ends;
and safe
in your bed at night
The young children walked out of the room, entering the hallway.
Young Lily
Then you get this funny feeling
that something is just not right
And all at once
things change
A young Girl with a ruby gem on her Forehead raised a brow. "Huh?"
Young Lily
All at once
things change
The young girls entered the palace gardens.
Young Lily
I used to be important
until that baby was there
Although I know Mama and Papa love me
seems like they forgot to care
I thought we were a family,
but it's really so unfair
When all at once
things change
Young Lily sat on the stone bench.
Young Girl With A Diamond on Her Forehead
Families grow
Grown-ups you know
turn into someone new
Young Girl with a Pearl on Her Forehead
You try to keep things like they are
Both the young girl with a ruby on her forehead laid a hand on Young Lily's shoulder.
Young Girl with a Ruby on Her Forehead
But you wind up...
Young Girl with a Diamond on her Forehead, Young Girl with a Pearl on her Forehead, and Young Girl with a Ruby on Her Forehead
Changing too
Young Lily wiped her eyes as she walked through the garden with her friends.
Young Girl with a Pearl on her forehead
Maybe a new baby princess
will not be so bad at all
They all stopped for a moment.
Young Girl with a Diamond on Her Forehead
You can teach her to talk,
Young Girl with a Pearl on Her Forehead
to roll a rock
Young Girl with a Ruby on Her Forehead
And catch her if she starts to fall
Young Lily smiled as she wiped her tears. Knowing that her friends are right.
Young Girl with a Pearl on Her Forehead
Maybe things will be better
than you ever thought they could
Young Lily
And, maybe when things change...
The young girls turned to the rose garden. Noticing a cocoon hanging on one of the roses.
Young Girl with a Diamond on her Forehead, Young Girl with a Pearl on her Forehead, and Young Girl with a Ruby on Her Forehead
Maybe when
(Young Girl with a Diamond on her Forehead, Young Girl with a Pearl on her Forehead, and Young Girl with a Ruby on Her Forehead and Ducky)/Young Lily simultaneously
(Things change)/Oh, Maybe when things change
Everyone
They will change into something good
Suddenly, the butterfly came out of the cocoon. Started to fly away as the rose started to bloom nicely.
*Flashback Ends…*
Lily stopped remembering for a moment, she wiped her face as she took some deep breaths. "I may know love is for an individual but love for a sibling or someone that I cared about is another." Lily sniffed. "But I still know what jealousy feels like. It would leave a scar or a hole in your heart if nothing is fixed. Such as isolating yourself, which means that you are pushing others that you know away as well. You may feel like you have fallen into a hole of darkness. But there's someone who could help you. Lily my friends and…mama…"
"Uh…" Usagi gasped.
"My childhood friends aren't the only ones who noticed my isolation," Lily continued. "My parents noticed it too. Even though they have been so busy with work and taking care of Chibi Usa. But they are too concerned for my well-being, and they don't know how to approach me with comfort. But Mama did. Her warm arms are full of comfort, and she makes sure that she always loves me equally with my sister. So I took my childhood friends' advice and make sure that I could look after Chibi Usa and be her role model. It isn't easy, but it's hard work. And I want to do the same with you."
"What advice?" Usagi asked curiously.
"To be a role model and help protect Chibi Usa," Lily answered.
"How can I do that…when…?" Usagi felt lost.
"Mamoru was trying to be strong, but the bond and love for you is still there," Lily replied. "So you can't push him away for that responsibility. Just like a sibling bond. Chibi Usa was trying to get to know you and as she wants to like you, you did the same in return. So just try to be there for Chibi Usa when you still have a chance."
"I…I just..." Usagi nearly lost her words.
"I know, and I get it." Lily nodded. "Just take your time, it will come to you."
"Okay," Usagi nodded. Lily was about to leave. "But Lily…"
"Yeah?" Lily asked.
"You hesitated about when you don't have a love life," Usagi spoke. "Do you have any love interest?"
"What?" Lily blushed. Where did this come from? Lily wondered. "NO! NO, YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG!" Lily panicked. "I HAVE NEVER MET ANYONE BUT A MYSTIC PRIEST FROM ONE TIME!"
"Mystic Priest?" Usagi blinked.
Lily blushed so hard as she covered her mouth.
"When did this happen?" Usagi grinned.
"WHEN I FELT LOST WHEN I AND MY FRIENDS ARE TRYING TO SAVE CHIBI USA!" Lily blurted.
"What? Really?" Usagi giggled at Lily as she watch her struggle.
"Okay, okay," Lily confessed. "It's nothing but a crush. That's all."
"Oh, it's adorable." Usagi smiled.
"It's embarrassing," Lily protested. "But it only happen one time, but I felt like I had known him somewhere before. But don't know when."
"I know the feeling," Usagi nodded.
"You better not tell the girls about this," Lily requested. "Mostly towards Mamoru and Taylor."
"Why not Taylor?" Usagi blinked.
"Have you seen her reaction about she was about to lecture you and Mamoru earlier about…you know?" Lily reminded her.
Usagi blinked. "Oh yeah," she shivered nervously. "But don't worry, your secret is safe with me."
"Thank you," Lily smiled. Feeling relieved that she got Usagi to smile. "So I guess we could get some rest before going back to the future."
"Yeah," Usagi nodded.
"I probably see you later," Lily smiled.
"Of course," Usagi smiled. "Thanks for comforting me and showing me how you feel."
"Your my future mother," Lily replied. "And you're also my friend in this era. You would do the same thing for me, Chibi Usa, and our friends. Especially Mamoru."
"Perhaps," Usagi spoke sadly.
Lily sadly look at Usagi and hugged Usagi. Surprisingly, Usagi hugged her in return.
This feeling. Usagi thought. It's just like Mamo's, but this comfort and warmth is something new.
"I'll see you later, okay?" Lily asked.
"Sure," Usagi nodded. "Thank you."
"Anytime," Lily nodded. They separated and Lily exited the room.
She sure does get something from me alright, not just Mamoru alone. Usagi thought. Sadly, Usagi sighed as she sat on her bed. Wonder how to be a role model for Chibi Usa. Usagi keeps on thinking for a while.
As Lily went down the stairs, Ikuko walked up to her. "Everything okay?" Ikuko asked.
"Yeah, everything is fine," Lily answered. "Usagi just wants to be alone…to think for a while."
"Oh," Ikuko spoke. "But she seems down recently. Including about Chibi Usa was brought up. Wonder why."
"I think that I know," Lily suddenly got an idea. "Mrs. Tsukino, I'm going to sleep over at Skylar's place for the night."
"Skylar," Ikuko blinked. "Oh, Miss Blitz-chan. Okay, you can stay with her for another night. She seems nice."
"She sure is," Lily nodded. "Please be careful with Usagi. She needs the comfort that she needs."
"Of course," Ikuko nodded. Then Lily left the house.
Outside of the house, Lily pulled out her phone. Dialed a number. "Hello?" a familiar voice answered.
"Sarah, it's me," Lily replied. "I need some help."
"What is it?" Sarah asked as she is willing to listen to what Lily had to say.
At Mamoru's place, Mamoru was looking at the sunset. Chibi Usa walked up to him, "Mamo," she spoke.
"Yes?" Mamoru turned to her.
"I'm ready for bed," she spoke.
"Okay," Mamoru nodded as he leads her to bed.
As Mamoru is about to tuck Chibi Usa into bed. "Mamo," Chibi Usa spoke.
"Yes?" Mamoru smiled.
"Can you sing me a song for tonight?" Chibi Usa asked.
"Umm…" Mamoru spoke nervously. "I think your sister should sing for you."
"Her voice is indeed beautiful, but I want to hear a song from you." Chibi Usa spoke, "Just for tonight, please?"
Mamoru sighed. "Alright," Mamoru nodded. "Just for the night."
Chibi Usa smiled as she pressed Luna-P's nose. Starting the music.
"Because I Love Her" from Swan Princess: The Mystery of the Enchanted Kingdom
Featuring artist: Brian Nissen
Mamoru couldn't think. But he slowly started to feel instead as he listen to the tune of the music.
Isn't it enough that I fight the dragons?
That I fight the villains and I win the prize?
Mamoru stood up.
Isn't it enough that I run a future kingdom?
Solve everyone's problems, direct and advise
Why must I also get down on my knees
... And apologize?
Mamoru looks at the same picture that Usagi has in his picture frame.
Because I love her
I need her
Like Earth needs the sun
I need the one I love
Mamoru started to remember some things with Usagi.
To keep my hope bright
My head right
My heart fighting on
Until I'm back again in her arms
Because I love her
And need her
Like summer needs rain
To grow and sustain each ay
I hear her singing
And bringing
Strength to my soul
Until I'm back again in her arms
Mamoru smiled as he remembers his adventures as Tuxedo Mask. Helping Usagi as Sailor Moon in different ways.
Miles apart
Still my heart
Can hear her melody
I'm more than sure
I can't endure
Without her love for me
Mamoru looks at the moon from his window.
Because I love her
And need her
Like I need to breathe
Did Adam need Eve like this?
Now I see clearly
I nearly
Gave up all I had
So whatever our differences were
Mamoru picks up his pocket watch. Remembering his time to kiss Usagi at the park.
I'll bid them goodbye
I'll give love a try
And all because I...
Love her!
As Mamoru finished singing as the song ended, Chibi Usa is sound asleep. Mamoru smiled as he exited the room. After closing the door, Mamoru heard a knock at the entrance door. "Hmm?" Mamoru blinked. "Who could that be?" He opens the door. Seeing Artemis, Luna, and Bailey at the door. "Hmm, what are you guys doing here?"
"We want to volunteer to watch over Chibi Usa for you," Luna spoke.
"Why?" Mamoru asked.
"You seemed stressed," Artemis answered. "We thought you could go on a walk in the park could relax you. We will watch over Chibi Usa for a while till you get back."
Mamoru thought for a moment. "I think you are right." Mamoru agreed. "Do need some time to think. Please make sure to come and find me once Chibi Usa is up. Because he knows how to get around."
"Understood," both Luna and Artemis nodded as Mamoru let Luna, Artemis, and Bailey in.
"I'll be back in a bit," Mamoru smiled.
"Take your time," Luna smiled as Mamoru leaves.
"I wonder if Moonflower's plan would work," Bailey whispered.
"Give it time, it would work," Artemis whispered.
Luna nodded as she, Artemis, and Bailey relax in the living room.
At the park, Mamoru was walking alone as the sunset is still going down. Mamoru stopped as he looks around. Remembering the moments with Usagi. "Usako," he muttered as he sat down on the bench. Burying his face into his hands. "I'm so sorry," he whispered.
Meanwhile…
Usagi was looking at a picture of herself with Mamoru. She sighed for a moment. "I need some air," Usagi left the house.
"The Magic of Love" from The Swan Princess: Escape from Castle Mountain
Sang by: Liz Callaway
Usagi has started to walk and started to have negative thoughts.
It's the wrong kind of magic
Now you see him, now you don't
Used to be he'd drop anything for me
But not lately, he won't
Usagi looks at couples walking by.
He used to slay dragons
To keep me from harm
And come running
To my open arms
Usagi remembers the fun times that she had with Mamoru in their past life.
I want the magic of love again
The look of longing in his eyes
All the wonder and surprise
Of knowing that the best is yet to come
I need the magic of love again
Give me a magic wand to wave
Tell me the magic words to say
To bring back the magic of love
Usagi snapped out of thought as she walks through town. Seeing some things that are symbols of fairy tales.
No illusions
He's a man who has many dreams
But it's so confusing
To be always in between
Usagi kept on walking.
I want the magic of love again
That subtle sorcery of the heart
The fire his smile used to start
Usagi imagines what her life would be like with Mamoru without anyone else.
That makes me feel I'll never get enough
Give me a magic wand to wave
Repeat the miracle that gave us
She got back to reality, in sadness. Soon realized that she is at the entrance to the park.
The wonderful magic of love
Usagi walked into the park, feeling sad and doubtful until Sarah and Taylor are talking from the distance. Usagi walked up to them. "Hey girls," spoke.
"Hey Usagi," Sarah spoke.
"How are you feeling?" Taylor asked.
Usagi looked away, sadly.
Taylor huffed. "Well, if you asked me that question. I will say that he deserved the silent treatment. Cause he was a jerk to look after Chibi Usa alone instead of working together."
"Taylor," Sarah went pale. "Don't listen to her, she knows nothing."
"You know what Taylor, you're right," Usagi spoke.
Sarah become dumbfounded.
Taylor smirked.
"He should have said he and I would have looked after Chibi Usa instead of himself," Usagi huffed in frustration.
"Then just think of these words," Taylor smirked.
"Forget About Love" from Aladdin: Jafar's Return
Sang by: Gilbert Gottfried as Taylor, Liz Callaway as Usagi & Brad Kane as Mamoru
As Taylor is walking around Usagi, a wind brew out of nowhere with a gentle but mysterious melody filled the air.
Taylor
Forget about that guy
Forget about the way you fell into his eyes
Forget about his charms
Forget about the way he held you in his arms
Walking on air's obnoxious
The thrill
The chill
Will make you nauseous
And you'll never get enough
Just forget about love!
Usagi slowly becomes depressed. Sarah smiled as she held her communicator. "She's buying it," she whispered. "Mina, May, cue the illusion."
"Roger," both May and Minako replied in a whisper through the communicator. Usagi looks down in sadness.
Taylor
Forget about romance
Forget about the way your heart begins to dance
"Usako," a whisper appeared out of nowhere.
"Mamo?" Usagi looks around.
Taylor
Then you feel the blush
Taylor took her handkerchief and took speed. "Hey!" Usagi ran after her.
As they ran, Taylor dropped the handkerchief at the top of the stairs. Usagi was about to pick it up. Suddenly, she saw Mamoru in the distance.
Taylor
When he's spouting out some sentimental mush
Love really is revolting!
It's even worse than when you're moulting
Enough of this fluff!
Just forget about love!
Usagi smiled as she held her handkerchief close. Remembering the times with Mamoru.
Usagi
I had almost forgotten the way it felt
When he held out his hand for mine
My heart all a-flutter
Taylor
Oh, how Luna shudder
Taylor shivered.
Usagi
The first time we kissed
Usagi softly touched her lips.
Taylor
It won't be missed!
Forget about 'is touch
Usagi
I can't forget about his touch
Usagi held herself.
Taylor
In the scheme of things
It doesn't matter much
Usagi
It matters so much
Usagi went down the stairs happily.
Taylor
You're better on your own
A meal becomes a banquet
When you eat alone
Taylor slides down the rails of the stairs as if she is on a skateboard ride.
Usagi
Hmm-mm-mm-mm
Usagi twirls happily. Suddenly, they stopped behind the fountain.
Usagi and Taylor
Love's filled with compromises
Usagi sat down for a moment with dreamy eyes.
Taylor
And don't you hate those big surprises?
Usagi
A cozy rendezvous
Taylor
Oh, please!
Taylor gave her dagger eyes.
Usagi
Candlelight for two
Taylor
Oh, geez!
Taylor rolled her eyes.
Usagi
Look you're calling my bluff!
Usagi stood up.
Usagi/(Taylor)
I can't/(Just)
Usagi and Taylor
Forget about love!
Usagi comes out of hiding. Slowly, she walked towards Mamoru. "Mamo," she spoke. Mamoru looks up, seeing Usagi.
"Usako," Mamoru stood up. "Usako, I'm sorry...I shouldn't"
"Shh..." Usagi calmed Mamoru down.
Usagi
I can't forget about my heart
Mamoru
I can't forget about my heart
Usagi
And how it felt
To fall for you right from the start
Usagi twirled as she is near the fountain.
Mamoru
I'm still falling
Usagi
Whatever we may do
Usagi splashed some water into Mamoru's face.
Mamoru
Whatever we may do
Mamoru tried to grab her playfully. But she dodges it as she walks to the ledge of the fountain.
Usagi
You are here for me
And I'll be there for you
Mamoru held gently to Usagi's side, lifting her in the air as her hands are on his shoulders. Twirled her around the air.
Mamoru
I'll be there
Together, Mamoru and Usagi began to dance.
Mamoru and Usagi
To wish, to want, to wander
To find the sun
Through rain and thunder
They stopped underneath the beautiful sunset that is above the fountain. Looking deeply into each other's eyes.
Mamoru
A cozy rendezvous
Usagi
Yes, please!
Mamoru
Candlelight for two
Taylor grunted, dumbfoundedly.
Taylor
Oh, geez!
Enough is enough!
Sarah came out of the bushes and grabbed Taylor's arm. Drag her out of the area. Leaving Mamoru and Usagi alone.
Mamoru and Usagi
We can't forget about love!
Usagi and Mamoru kissed underneath the fountain peacefully.
While Usagi and Mamoru is now alone, they walked to the bench. "Usako," Mamoru spoke to get her attention.
"Hmm?" Usagi smiled.
"I'm so sorry," Mamoru apologized. "I shouldn't have excluded you to help me to take care of Chibi Usa and Lily."
"I know and I'm sorry too," Usagi nodded. "I should not have talked to you properly instead of yelling at you…again. I'm sorry for that."
Mamoru smiled. "Let's compromise of taking care of our future daughters…together."
"Yes," Usagi smiled. Together they kissed underneath the moonlight.
Within the distance, Lily, Sarah, Taylor, Skylar, Minako, Rue, May, and Jade are watching. "Can't believe that we have pulled that one off," Sarah whispered.
"No kidding," Jade nodded. "Nice tune, Taylor."
Taylor snickered. "It was nothing." Taylor shrugged.
"Nice plan Lily," Skylar smiled.
"It's at least what I could think of," Lily answered. "And I could not do it without your help. Thanks, girls."
"Anytime kid," Taylor nodded.
"Glad to help," Rue smiled with a thumbs up.
"And one of my favorite music of Disney Classics, nice touch." Sarah waved her CD player.
"A perfect one too, I'm afraid." Jade giggled.
"Mina, you okay?" May asked as she noticed Minako sniffing within her handkerchief.
"This is better than a soap opera show that I like to watch in the afternoon," Minako smiled with a waterfall streaming down her face.
"Oh brother," Jade *animated* sweat drop with a sigh.
Everyone else chuckled nervously. Suddenly, Usagi's and Minako's communicator beeped. While Lily's phone rang.
"Hmm…headquarters?" Lily wondered as she pressed the speakerphone. "What's up?"
"Lily, something happened?" Luna spoke through the phone.
"What happened?" Lily asked.
"It's Chibi Usa, she's gone," Luna answered.
"And it seemed that she snuck out and time traveled without us," Bailey barked.
"Which means," Sarah blinked.

Meanwhile, in the 30th Century…
Chibi Usa was running as fast as she could, "I got to think of something," Chibi Usa spoke as she held her toy. "Luna-P, help." Chibi Usa tossed her toy. Suddenly, it turned into a slingshot and firecracker balls. "That will distract it till the Sailor Guardians and my big sister comes here." Chibi Usa smiled as she launched some firecracker balls. The blast of the balls hit the eyes.
The dragon roared in pain. "You will pay for it, little rabbit."
Chibi Usa yelped.
"We're coming Chibi Usa," Sailor Moon cried out from the distance as she, Sailor Venus, Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Earth, Sailor Kunzite, Sailor Zoisite, Sailor Jadeite, Sailor Nephrite, Sailor Turquoise, and Sailor Topaz ran out of the Crystal Palace.
"Get away from my sister, you overgrown lizard." Sailor Earth ordered. "EARTH MOONFLOWER SONIC RAY!" She launched her attack.
The dragon roared in pain.
"Chibi Usa," Sailor Venus spoke. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," Chibi Usa nodded as her toy reappeared back into her hands. "I'm okay."
"Small Lady," Sailor Earth spoke. "Don't you know how worried we were?"
"Why did you come back without us?" Sailor Kunzite asked.
"I…I just want to see Diana," Chibi Usa replied.
Flashback…
Chibi Usa woke from her nap and got ready to travel back to the future without the group. As she entered Sailor Pluto's domain. "Small Lady," Sailor Pluto turned with a gasp as she heard Chibi Usa's toy beeping. "What's wrong?" She knelt at Chibi Usa's level. "Where are Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus, your sister, and the Sailor Guardians of the Sacred Gems? It's dangerous for you to come back by yourself."
"I know that I should have waited for them," Chibi Usa nodded. "But I'm used to having any company."
"You know that's not true," Sailor Pluto shook.
"YOU KNOW IT IS PLUTO!" Chibi Usa cried out. "But as long as I have you….as long as the two of us are friends. I don't care about anyone else! Except for my sister of course." Chibi Usa clutched the friendship charm that she shared with her older sister.
"Well, you are certainly honest Small Lady." Sailor Pluto smiled.
"No, I'm not." Chibi Usa whispered sadly. "I'm not honest at all."
As Chibi Usa is walking into a room that had the Sailor Guardians' future selves. In their hands are the knights in their Gem selves. Right next to them are the two cat advisors along with one kitten, and the Earth King. Chibi Usa walked up to the platform where the cats were. Chibi Usa smiled as she petted Diana. "Diana," Chibi Usa whispered. "You are worried about your parents too huh?" Chibi Usa turned to look at her father, Chibi Usa sadly sighed as she walked out of the room.
While Chibi Usa walked through the hallway, she entered the room that has her mother. Unaware that she has been watched. "Mommy, please…" Chibi Usa spoke softly as she placed her hand on the platform. "Please open your eyes. I don't know what to do. I need your help. How come you won't open your eyes, Mommy?" The young princess started to sob as King Endymion watched with sadness in his eyes. Before looking over at four glittering gems, which holding figures inside that also watching. Quietly went to the king and vanished from view.
While Chibi Usa is depressed, she has started to walk out of the palace. Suddenly, Luna-P started to beep as if it is sounding an alarm. Chibi Usa blinked in confusion as she stopped in her tracks. "What it is, Luna-P?" Chibi Usa asked. Suddenly, a roar echoed in the air. Chibi Usa looks up and gasped in fright. "A dragon?" Chibi Usa cried out in fright.
The dragon laughed, evilly. "Poor defenseless rabbit," the dragon roared.
"It…can…talk?" Chibi Usa shook up.
"What happened to your little escorts?" the dragon roared. "You would think that a Princess would know better than to leave the safety of the castle by itself."
Chibi Usa yelped in fright. That voice… Chibi Usa thought. …where do I hear this voice before…?
"Now then, little rabbit." The dragon licked its lips. "How about a demonstration of the power that you have inherited from Neo-Queen Serenity?" The dragon launched at Chibi Usa.
Chibi Usa yelped as she started to run.
"Come now little rabbit," the dragon roared. "Fight back. If you won't, I guess that I will eat you up."
I wished that I have that type of power. Chibi Usa thought as she run as fast as she can.
Flashback Ends…
Chibi Usa finished telling the group the story. She looks down in sadness. "And thought I could buy you some time till you guys get here," Chibi Usa admitted. "I'm very sorry."
"Well, that's dangerous. But brave," Sailor Topaz spoke.
"Yeah, but don't scare us like that again." Sailor Moon nodded.
"But…a voice," Sailor Kunzite wondered. "Wonder whose voice you are talking about."
A familiar voice laughed throughout the air. "Perhaps I could reintroduce myself." Suddenly, the dragon landed. In a blink of an eye, the dragon transformed into a familiar face.
"Esmeraude!" Sailor Moon gasped.
"Hello again," Esmeraude smirked.
"But how?" Sailor Earth gasped. "I defeated you!"
"That's true," Esmeraude cackled. "But thanks to Prince Graphite who has resurrected me, and both he and Wise Man have given me a second chance of defeating you. So they upgraded my powers."
Flashback…
In the dark room, Graphite was chanting something with Wise Man has his side. Suddenly, Esmeraude appeared from the fire and shadows. Esmeraude gasped with fresh air, filling her lungs to regain conciseness. She collapsed as she breathed deeply. "Where am I?" Esmeraude looks around.
"We've brought you back," a familiar voice spoke. "To give you one last chance to redeem yourself."
"Prince Graphite," Esmeraude blinked. "Wise Man, what do you mean?"
"We mean that we are giving you one last chance to defeat the Sailor Guardians," Wise Man answered. "Here's a gift for you," Wise Man waved his hand around the crystal ball. Suddenly, a black crystal that is in a shape of a crown appeared in front of Esmeraude.
"What is this?" Esmeraude asked.
"A power to help you to create or change," Graphite answered.
"Will it give me the power to destroy as well?" Esmeraude smirked, liking what she is hearing.
"If that is what you wish," Wise Man nodded.
"But remember, this is your last chance." Graphite reminded her. "Once defeated by the Sailor Guardians, you will be free to live again. But fail us, you will never come back. Ever."
"I have nothing to lose," Esmeraude spoke. "With this, I will destroy Sailor Moon and her precious guardians with my own hands. Then I will see Prince Diamond again, and deliver the rabbit, Sailor Earth, and the Silver Crystal to you."
"I would be looking forward to it," Graphite smirked. As Esmeraude looks at the crown, in a flash of light. The crown has settled on her head.
"Yes," Esmeraude spoke as her clothes changed. "I can feel the power through my veins. The power…to create…" a fan appeared in her hand. "The power…to change!" Suddenly, the fan turned into a staff. "The power…to destroy!" she launched her power and destroy a dark altar.
"Do you need that?" Wise Man asked his apprentice.
"No," Graphite answered, dumbfounded.
"I am going to enjoy this," Esmeraude smiled, wickedly.
You Gotta Love It ~ The Swan Princess: Escape from Castle Mountain
Sang by: Michael Lanning
Graphite and Wise Man stepped back for a moment and allow Esmeraude to have her fun for a bit.
You may not like my newfound power
I think it's totally hot
And you may hate the way I use it
"But am I concerned? I'm not!" Esmeraude cackled.
'Cause the power to create is mine
And the power to change
Oh, joy!
The power to rearrange your life
The power to destroy
Esmeraude destroys one of the circles that Graphite has created. "Do you still need that?" Wise Man asked.
"Maybe," Graphite grunted, angrily.
Now I gonna give the orders and you're gonna take 'em
Things are going to be the way that I make 'em
I will be the one who gets every break
You've gotta love it! Yeah! Ha!
Esmeraude created a pair of dark wings and started to take flight.
Ev'ryday is gonna be a vacation
Now I'm the the queen of gratification
I do whatever I want everyday
You gotta love it! Woohooo!
Esmeraude flew into one part of the room.
You've gotta love it
I'll take aim at every target
I'll stake claim to every wealth
And I think I'll fill the cup of power
And drink it to my health
Esmeraude snapped her fingers. Suddenly, a pile of gold appeared and she sat down. Relaxing with joy.
Yeah, I've won the wish of every human
Everything anyone could consume
In thousands of lifetimes all in one room
You've gotta love it! Hey yeah!
Esmeraude snapped her fingers again. Suddenly, the pile of gold has disappeared.
You've gotta love it
Ooh, you've gotta love this power of mine
Suddenly, her staff turned into a guitar. She started to play it, wildly.
Oh yeah!
Ooh yeah!
Uh-hm!
Argh! Ha!
Oh yeah!
Ooh yeah!
Uh-hm!
Argh! Ha!
"Did you know that she can...?" Wise Man was about to ask.
"No," Graphite replied with eyes widened. Suddenly, the guitar transforms back to the staff.
I'll take aim at every target
I'll stake claim to every wealth
And I think I'll fill the cup of power
And drink it to my health
I've won the wish of every human
Everything anyone could consume
In thousands of lifetimes all in one room
Suddenly, black smoke surrounded her body. Emseraude has started to transform into a new form.
You've gotta love it!
Yeah!
You've gotta love it!
Ooh!
As Emseraude is transforming, she has started to purr with pride. With one blow from her form, leaving the hole in the wall.
You've gotta love this power of mine!
Zau! Rock n' roll!
Suddenly, Esmeraude transformed into a dragon and flew out of the castle. "I think that she is going to disappoint us with that ego of hers," Graphite spoke as daggered eyes stared at the areas where she escaped.
"Very," Wise Man nodded.
Flashback Ended…
As the memory ended, Esmeraude smiled evilly as she felt triumph over her new battle. "Now, it's time to have my revenge." Esmeraude launched her attack.
"Oh no, you don't." Sailor Venus growled. "VENUS LOVE ME CHAINS!" Her chains made a shield and blocked Esmeraude's attack.
"Well take this!" Esmeraude tossed her earrings. Suddenly, it turns into an explosion once hit the ground.
"The Malefic Black Crystal," Sailor Zoisite spoke. "She used them like a grenade."
"But not for long," Sailor Moon spoke. "MOON PRINCESS HALATION!" Sailor Moon tried to launch another attack. But nothing happened. Not again! Sailor Moon gasped. Why can't I use Halation?
"Can't attack?" Esmeraude asked. "Ah, that's too bad." She was going to attack again.
"EARTH…" Sailor Earth cried out.
"JADEITE RED…" Sailor Jadeite cried out.

"SWORD DANCE!" Sailor Earth, Sailor Jadeite, Sailor Turquoise, Sailor Topaz, Sailor Zoisite, Sailor Nephrite, and Sailor Kunzite cried out as they launched their attacks together.
Esmeraude cried out in pain. "Oh, I started to see why Prince Graphite has a liking towards you, Sailor Earth."
"Oh, he is just as disgusting as one of his puppets. If not, worse. Including you." Sailor Earth growled as her cheeks turned pink.
"You said it," Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask agreed with death daggers in their eyes.
"There's no way he can have her," Sailor Kunzite growled as she and the rest of the Sailor Guardians of the Sacred Gems held up their guard.
"Mamoru," Sailor Earth spoke. "Please distract her. I have a plan."
"Okay," Tuxedo Mask nodded. "If I need to think of something and how."
"Tuxedo Mask, it is not the time for giving up." King Endymion told him. "You can defeat her." Suddenly, Tuxedo Mask felt a person has placed a hand on his back. "I'll help you!" To Tuxedo Mask's surprise, he felt a new energy has grown from within. "Ready?"
"Now!" Tuxedo Mask nodded.
"TUXEDO LA SMOKING BOMBER!" Both Tuxedo Mask and King Endymion launched an attack.
Esmeraude screeched in pain. "You will pay for that," Esmeraude growled as she turned back onto a dragon. Sailor Earth summons her Earth Rod.
"Sailor Moon," Sailor Earth spoke. "Take my hand. Feel the flow of the Earth enter into you as it is flowing into me." As Sailor Moon took Sailor Earth's hand. Suddenly, she felt a new surge of energy flowing through her from Sailor Earth.
Just like Mamoru…from those times when… Sailor Moon smiled as her Moon Rod started to glow brightly along with the Earth Rod.
"Ready?" Sailor Earth asked.
"Now," Sailor Moon nodded. "MOON…"
"EARTH…" Sailor Earth cried out.
"PRINCESS HALATION!" Together, Sailor Moon and Sailor Earth launched their attack. Destroying the crown and defeating Esmeraude once and for all.
Esmeraude cried in pain and disappeared without a trace.
"We did it," Sailor Moon smiled.
"Sure did," Sailor Earth nodded.
"Nice teamwork, Sailor Moon, Sailor Earth," Sailor Venus gave the girls a thumbs up.
"But I still don't understand," Sailor Moon spoke. "Why isn't the Moon Rod isn't working when I do it alone? Why am I the only one here who can barely use any powers before a new boost?"
"Don't you remember what Small Lady has said Sailor Moon," Sailor Earth spoke.
Sailor Moon gasped as she remembers something.
Flashback…
Chibi Usa looks down in sadness as she confesses. "I knew that the Legendary Silver Crystal of the past have no power in the future, but in the past."
Flashback Ended…
Sailor Moon blinked. So I can't use my Silver Crystal at all? Sailor Moon wondered. I need my powers. How am I going to defeat the Black Moon without them? And our friends? How am I supposed to save them?
"Everything is going to be okay, Sailor Moon." Sailor Earth reassures her. "Whatever you as thinking. My only advice that I might know of is…that…we'll find a way to overcome this, so calm down. Okay?"
Sailor Moon nodded.
"I'm surprised that they got the best of Esmeraude for the second time," a male voice spoke out of nowhere.
"Indeed," a familiar voice agreed.
"What that voice," Sailor Earth spoke. "I know one of those voices."
"You do?" Sailor Moon asked.
"Yes," Sailor Earth nodded.
"However," the first voice spoke. "It would have seemed that the Legendary Silver Crystal is not as powerful as I had thought it would be."
Everyone gasped as they looked up. Seeing a white hair man appear with a shadowy figure behind him.
"What do you think, Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus, Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Earth, Sailor Jadeite, Sailor Turquoise, Sailor Topaz, Sailor Zoisite, Sailor Nephrite, and Sailor Kunzite?" the white hair man asked. "Do you like this apoplectic version of the 30th Century? If it isn't horrible enough, there's still time to make it worse."
"Oh, we know." Sailor Earth barked.
"Who are you?" Sailor Moon demanded. "You must be the leader of the Black Moon. Why did you destroy the planet? What did you do with the Guardians that you took? Why are you doing all of this?"
"Usagi, calm down." Sailor Earth whispered.
There it is. The man thought as he look at Sailor Moon to see her future self overlapping her. Those fierce, determined eyes. Staring back at me on that fateful day. Just then, the black upside-down crescent moon on his brow has changed to an evil-looking eye. Making Sailor Moon's eyes widen.
What's going on? Sailor Moon thought as she started to struggle. I can't move and I can't look away!
"Don't look into his eyes!" Tuxedo Mask cried out.
"Ma'Tem!" Sailor Earth cried out. Suddenly, she felt a pair of arms have grabbed her right arm and her waist. Sailor Earth yelp in surprise.
"Did you miss me, Princess?" a familiar voice spoke.
"Graphite?" Sailor Earth yelped as she struggled.
"Princess!" the Sailor Guardians of the Sacred Gems cried out. Before they could approach, a strange source of light came out of nowhere has become brighter. Making everyone in the group look away.
As the light died down, everyone saw Usagi almost unconscious in a red bubble. While Graphite is still holding Sailor Earth. Floating right next to the dark figure. "Let go of me," Sailor Earth grunted.
"Not a chance," Graphite held her tightly.
"GIRLS! SMALL LADY! TOPTO!" Lily cried out in fright. "HELP!" Suddenly, a dark mist surrounded them.
"BIG SISTER!" Chibi Usa cried out. "NO!"
"USAGI!" Sailor Venus and Tuxedo Mask cried out.
"LILY!" Sailor Jadeite, Sailor Turquoise, Sailor Topaz, Sailor Zoisite, Sailor Nephrite, and Sailor Kunzite cried out; standing in fear. Before they knew it, both the men, the shadow, Sailor Moon, and Sailor Earth has disappeared without a trace.
