Queen Beryl gazed into her crystal ball in the Dark Kingdom, serving as her window outside. She could see Sailor Moon and Solaris standing just outside of the entrance.
"So, they're finally here," she murmured, standing up. "I will personally seek to it that you both will feel and go straight to hell."
Sailor Moon and Solaris soon arrived at the entrance of the Dark Kingdom, which was the same large smoking pit that Luna and Artemis had found before. However, it was a lot bigger than the two imagined, and they could feel the evil emanating from it.
"So this is the entrance to the Dark Kingdom," Solaris said. "They certainly not hiding that fact with all the purple smoke."
Sailor Moon gazed grimly upwards, her eyes filled with determination. "Ami. Rei. Mako. Minako. I'll do my best until the very end," she said with conviction.
"And not just you, Sailor Moon," said Solaris. "We're both going to make sure they pay a hefty price for what they did. Especially Queen Beryl! And no matter what happens, we'll face her together."
At that moment, the two heard the sound of something rushing at them at an incredible speed. They both looked back behind them in time to see a giant glowing red ball of energy coming straight for them, and before the two had a chance to react, they were swept away by the ball of energy which vanished from sight. The red ball of energy then reappeared in Queen Beryl's throne room, dissipating in an instant, setting Solaris and Sailor Moon free as they fell to the floor with a thud.
"Ow... Geez! Are you OK, Sailor Moon?" asked Solaris.
"Somehow," replied Sailor Moon. "But what happened?"
"I welcome you, Prince and Princess," said a voice. "You both did well to get this far. I commend you both for that."
Sailor Moon and Solaris looked up, and from the darkness, a small light shone, revealing the presence that stood before them, which was, of course, Queen Beryl. Solaris scowled at the evil queen while Sailor Moon stared at her with some slight fright.
"Y-You're Queen Beryl," gasped Sailor Moon.
"That's right. The one and only, in the flesh," Queen Beryl spoke.
Then the light grew brighter, revealing Queen Beryl's body and something else, which made Sailor Moon and Solaris gasp in surprise and horror. Kneeling beside her while kissing her hand was Endymion.
Queen Beryl then turned to the prince of Earth, giving him a loving smile. "Endymion, make yourself useful to me and please kill the princess," she said.
Endymion's eyes snapped open, revealing them to be glowing red and vacant as he stood up. "As you wish, Queen Beryl," he said in a zombie-like tone.
He then turned towards the two, drawing his blade causing Solaris to stand in front of Sailor Moon, protecting her immediately. But Queen Beryl had other ideas.
"Sorry, Solaris, but I'm afraid I won't allow you to interfere," said Queen Beryl. "I have other plans for dealing with you."
She gave her staff a sharp tap sending a wave of black energy at Solaris, encasing him inside of it, and before Sailor Moon could react, Solaris vanished the black orb that enveloped him disappearing from view.
"What did you do to him?!" demanded Sailor Moon.
"Don't worry. Solaris isn't dead. Not yet anyway," said Queen Beryl. "I moved him to another location over to my followers so that they could give him a nice welcome. Besides, I'd be a little more concerned with yourself if I were you. Now, Endymion, kill her!"
Endymion then went on the attack jumping into the air towards Sailor Moon with his sword raised.
When Solaris was aware again, he found himself in a dark room with only a couple of lit candles for light.
"What the heck just happened?! Where am I?" he wondered as he whipped his head, looking around. "Sailor Moon?! Usagi! Where are you?!"
But the only voice that he heard was his own, which echoed throughout the room. Then suddenly, the candles in the room grew brighter, illuminating the entire room revealing that Solaris wasn't alone. Monsters filled the whole room, undoubtedly Queen Beryl's followers, all of which looked ready to kill as he stood in the middle.
"You've got to be kidding me," Solaris said to himself. "I'm surrounded!"
The monsters all hissed and growled as they closed in on their prey. Solaris looked around, trying to see if there was a way for him to get out of this situation, but he couldn't. As they grew closer and closer to him, he let out a sigh as a mirthless smile worked its way to his lips.
"Well then, I suppose it's my turn to put my life on the line," he said to himself. "Didn't expect things to go down like this, though." He clenched his fists, punching them together a couple of times as it took a defensive stance. "Well then, since I'm stuck in this situation, I might as well go out in a blaze of glory. Usagi - I know you're probably scared, and I may not be there right now; I'll know that you'll be OK. You're the only one who can save Mamoru. It has to be you."
The monsters got closer and closer, and Solaris' fists began to glow brightly with power.
"Alright! Come and get me, you bastards!" he yelled. "If you've got the guts to take me on, bring it! In the name of the sun, with my blinding rays, I'll scorch you!"
The monsters then charged at Solaris as the Guardian of the Sun braced himself for the fight of his life.
Sailor Moon tried her best to dodge all of Endymion's attacks with his sword, but every blow was dangerously close, narrowly missing her by the hair. Knowing that she had to get him to remember who he was, she quickly recovered, sitting up in a crouch, then took out her Cresent Moon Wand with the Silver Crystal on it and aimed it towards Endymion.
"MOON HEALING ESCALATION!"
She unleashed a blast of light and sparkles, hoping that it would help Endymion, but to her shock, Endymion was unaffected.
"It's useless. Even with the Silver Crystal, you're still inexperienced as a princess," Queen Beryl spoke with a grin. "You won't be able to dispel Queen Metalia's dark energy from within Endymion's body. So why don't you stop your futile efforts and hand over the Silver Crystal like a good girl?"
Sailor Moon clicked her tongue in defiance and put more power into the Moon Healing Escalation, but it still didn't show any healing effects. Endymion then jumped high above Sailor Moon and landed on the ground just behind her in her blind spot. Sailor Moon turned back in time for Endymion to raise his sword, swinging it towards her back. Sailor Moon jumped out of the way just in time to dodge, but in her haste, she lost her balance, causing her to fall flat on her face, accidentally letting go of the Crescent Moon Wand. Seeing that she was open to attack, Endymion made a black rose appear in his as he possessed and vacant eyes glared down at Sailor Moon.
"Sailor Moon... die," Endymion spoke as it flicked the black rose at her.
As the black rose fell toward Sailor Moon, it suddenly transformed into vines wrapping around her, binding her tightly while blooming other black roses. Then the vines began to shock Sailor Moon, causing the girl to cry out in pain and writhe in agony. Queen Beryl cackled in delight and triumph as she watched her enemy suffer.
Meanwhile, things weren't going so well for Solaris either. He was fighting one monster after another, trying to stay alive to get to Sailor Moon, but every time he took out one monster, another one would take its place.
One of the monsters roared as he pounced at him from behind, but Solaris jumped up and used Solari Binding, binding him tightly and then sending it flying into a bunch of others with a mighty tug, making them all land in a heap. Another group of monsters then tried their luck to try and kill the boy, but, while seeing them coming, Solaris used Sunshine Meteor aiming and then launching it firing, destroying the group of monsters turning them to ash.
"Damn it; this is madness! " Solaris complained. "If I were with the other Guardians, these monsters would be history by now!"
Then one of the monsters came at Solaris from behind at his blind spot to the left, slashing him on his shoulder ripping his clothes as well as his skin. He bit back a cry of pain as he punched the monster into the face sending it flying. Another monster attacked him to the front forcing Solaris to duck, its claws barely scraping past his hair. He then raised his hand, preparing to use his Solar Binding to attack, but then a monster zipped right by him, scratching him right on the leg.
Solaris gritted his teeth, grunting in pain as he stumbled, and seeing this as an opportunity, the other monsters attacked, slashing and scratching at Solaris from all sides as they zipped by him. Solaris cried out as each attack raked across his skin, drawing blood. His body was covered in scratches, oozing blood as he fell to one knee panting and feeling exhausted.
"There's too many of them! Not to mention, they're so fast, I can't even keep up!" Solaris thought. "If I don't do something right now, I'm as good as dead! Come on, Solaris, think! There's gotta be something you can do!"
Then Solaris looked up towards the ceiling. The moment he did, he had a risky idea while having flashbacks of the other Guardians before they died, most of all when Sailor Jupiter used her Supreme Thunder to kill Nephrite.
"This is gonna be one hell of a gambit I'm about to do, but it's pretty much my only option if I want to take out these chumps," Solaris said to himself. "Sorry, Sailor Jupiter, but I'm going to take a page from your book."
He clapped his hands together, letting out a yell as he began charging up power creating a ball of light in his hands. As he concentrated, the energy ball in his hands grew bigger and bigger, shining brightly throughout the area, causing the monsters around him to shield their eyes, hissing in agony.
"Don't like the light, huh?" Solaris grunted. "Well, if you think that's bad, just wait till you see what I have in store for you!"
He yelled again as he concentrated and charged even more power into the ball of energy, making it swell up even more, forcing Solaris to raise it over his head with both of his hands. The overwhelming power was so immense that his arms and legs began to tremble as he felt a little weak due to its size.
"G-Geez, this will be the first time I've ever made something this big, but I have... to keep going!" he grunted. "I have to... give it everything I have on this one!"
The ball of energy grew larger and brighter until it was as big as a large boulder towering over the monsters. Then, Solaris launched the ball of energy with all of his strength, making it go up into the air with a mighty heave. The ball went up a few feet; then gravity took over, making it fall towards the ground straight at Solaris. Solaris clenched his right fist tightly, drawing back, preparing to punch, and the monsters who saw what he was up to immediately attacked, trying to stop him, but it was too late.
"TAKE THIS, YOU MONSTERS!" Solaris yelled. "THIS IS MY MAXIMUM POWERED... SUNSHINE... METEOR ! ! ! ! ! !"
He then punched the ball of light using every ounce of strength and muscle he had, making it shoot high above and hit the ceiling with a mighty explosion making the room shake from the impact. The room continued to shake as the tremors increased. Then the roof from above began to cave in. The monsters all looked up in horror while Solaris smirked from behind his mask as the rocks fell towards them.
"Sorry guys, but it looks like this is the end," he said. "For all of us."
The next thing Solaris knew, as the rubble crashed to the ground with the monsters frantically trying to escape, he was swallowed in the chaos in a cloud of dust as the room caved in.
Endymion was still torturing Sailor Moon, the vines still shocking her with Queen Beryl watching with glee and triumph. The Pretty Guardian knew that she had to fight back, but she also couldn't bear to hurt him even if he was possessed, so she refused to fight back. The vines finally broke, and Sailor Moon fell to the ground lying in agony. As Endymion stood above her, Sailor Moon looked up at him pleadingly, her eyes filled with tears of sorrow.
"M-Mamoru..." she sobbed. "Please..."
Endymion then gave Sailor Moon a hard kick sending her rolling a bit before stopping. Then he grabbed her by the throat, lifting her, and began shocking her with his dark power. Sailor Moon screamed in pain even louder and squirmed in agony as Endymion smirked sadistically. The torture went on for a few seconds until Queen Beryl stepped in.
"That's enough, Endymion. You can stop now," she said. "Let her go and then chop off the Princess's head."
Obeying her command, Endymion did so as he threw Sailor Moon to the ground. Sailor Moon was still alive, but now her entire body was wracked with pain, and she could hardly move. Then she saw the Crescent Moon Wand, a few inches away from her. She then reached out, desperately trying to grab it.
"It's no use," cackled Queen Beryl. "Very soon, darkness will consume the sun entirely, and Queen Metalia will reawaken. Once she is back among us, she will have the strength to unleash the Silver Crystal's full power and fill this world with dark energy forever! And everything you and your friends and family have fought to protect will become meaningless!"
Sailor Moon's eyes widened upon hearing that sentence as flashbacks from the other Guardians' deaths came into her mind, as well as Solaris' determined face when he was scolding her before.
Will she let it end like this? Was she going to let Queen Beryl's crimes go unavenged? Those questions filled Sailor Moon with determination as she struggled to get up while Endymion raised his sword, preparing to strike and ready to end her. But then, Sailor Moon shot up, took off her tiara, and transformed it into a white disk using her Moon Tiara Action striking Endymion right in the midsection.
The attack stunned Endymion, making him recoil backward while holding his abs in pain, collapsing to the floor. At first, he appeared unconscious, but he slowly got back on his feet, struggling with the pain while using his sword as a stand.
"I'll admit that was a good attack, but it won't do you any good," said Queen Beryl. "I made sure to seep the dark energy in every pore of Endymion's body. You'll need to come up with more than that to defeat him."
Endymion was now back on his feet, wracked with pain, but still had eyes that burned with killing intent towards Sailor Moon as he poised his sword. All Sailor Moon could do was sit there, her body weak from adrenaline, and her eyes filled with unshed tears but still shone with a determination not to give on the prince.
"Please, stop," she whispered. "Stop it, Endymion."
"S-Sailor Moon," Endymion gasped as he took a step towards Sailor Moon. "I-I'll kill you..."
"Stop it," repeated Sailor Moon, her voice cracking. "You need to stop!"
But Endymion didn't listen as he raised his sword above his head, preparing to kill Sailor Moon.
"DIE!" he yelled as he swung his sword.
But just when he was about to cut her down, a beautiful melody began to play, which stopped Endymion in his tracks. It came from the locket of which Sailor Moon took out at the last moment.
"Please, try to remember me," Sailor Moon spoke quietly. "It's me, Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom. Long ago, we pledged our love to each other."
"Anyone who dares to defy the Dark Kingdom must die!" snapped Endymion.
"Queen Metalia's evil energy has poisoned you, and it's made you cruel," continued Sailor Moon. "But kindness still beats in your heart, Endymion. I know you don't want to fight me, and I don't want to fight you either. So please don't force me to fight you."
Endymion's sword trembled as well as his body as he was now conflicted, and Sailor Moon stayed still, letting the music in her locket continue to play. Finally, Endymion lowered his blade staring at Sailor Moon with a curious look on his features, then he reached out and touched the locket in her hands. At that moment, he was immediately enveloped in a bright white light that shone throughout the area.
"Wh-what's going on?!" demanded Queen Beryl as she shielded her eyes. "What's happening?!"
Memories began to flow into Endymion's mind as the dark energy's hold on him began to loosen rapidly. Soon enough, the white light faded, and while dropping his sword, Endymion fell into Sailor Moon's arms as she caught him.
"Mamoru! Are you OK?!" she cried. "Say something!"
Endymion looked up; the light in his eyes fully returned. As soon as he saw Sailor Moon, a warm smile tugged at his lips.
"Usagi, thank you," he whispered. "You saved me."
Sailor Moon's eyes filled with tears of joy as she embraced her price. "Mamoru, you're back!" she sobbed. "You're finally back!"
Queen Beryl was now furious, her eyes gleaming with anger as she conjured a large spear-like black crystal in her hands. "You'll pay for this, Princess!" she shrieked with hate. "I cannot nor will I forgive you for once again trying to take Endymion away from me!"
Endymion and Sailor Moon jumped, looking towards Queen Beryl in time to see her launch her dark crystal spear at them. Reacting quickly, Endymion summoned a red rose in his hand and threw it. The rose pierced through the crystal, shattering it on impact and piercing Queen Beryl directly in the middle of her chest. At the same time, the dark crystal now a storm of shards came shooting right for them, and before Sailor Moon could react, Endymion threw himself on top of Sailor Moon, shielding her from the fragments. However, one of the crystal shards pierced through Endymion's back, causing him to grunt in pain.
"Mamoru!" gasped Sailor Moon.
Queen Beryl held her chest in agony as she glared at Sailor Moon and Solaris. "Endymion... why?! Why must you protect that little brat of a girl?!" she demanded with a pained expression. "If you had chosen me, you would have been King of the Earth and the Moon!"
Then she noticed that her chest began to crack and crumble like glass, which caused her more pain, forcing her to one knee.
"Th-this can't be!" Queen Beryl gasped. "Why... is this causing me so much pain?! Is - is it his energy?! Is the power of Endymion's love for that girl so strong that it's eroding my body?!"
And the more Queen Beryl thought about this, the angrier the evil queen became.
"I refuse! I refuse to accept this!" she shrieked. "If I can't have Endymion, then no one will! So I'll kill Sailor Moon and Endymion at the same time!"
She then prepared to attack the two lovers trying to conjure up another spear, and Sailor Moon shielded Endymion, protecting him from harm, but then a loud familiar voice yelled out.
"BERYL! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !"
Queen Beryl immediately turned around in time for a blade made of light to impale her directly in her chest and through her back. Sailor Moon looked up and saw the person that stabbed her. It was none other than Solaris, who was battered, bloody, and bruised with cracks all over his armor and slashes through his spandex but was still standing.
"S-Solaris!" gasped Sailor Moon. "You're alive!"
"I-Impossible!" choked Queen Beryl as she stared dumbly at the blade that pierced her. "H-How did you..."
Solaris then looked at Queen Beryl, his eyes burning with a strong will and hate towards her as he spoke these words.
"You took my home, closest friends, my sister, and even took my mother all because of a fit of petty jealousy. You will never take anything from anyone else ever again."
Queen Beryl staggered as she stepped back while holding her chest. "C-Curse you... Curse you all to hell!" she gasped as she sank into the floor, disappearing from view. Solaris then looked over towards Sailor Moon and Endymion as Sailor Moon gently flipped Endymion setting his head on her lap.
"Mamoru! Please stay with me!" said Sailor Moon. "Don't die!"
Endymion opened his eyes, wincing in pain, the life quickly fading from them. "Y-You need to leave. Quickly," he gasped. He then looked at Sailor Moon and smiled. "Go back to being an ordinary girl again and find yourself a cool boyfriend."
Tears trickled down Sailor Moon's eyes as she smiled at Endymion. "Nobody's cooler than you, Mamoru," she tearfully replied.
Endymion then gave one last smile at his beloved. Then his eyes closed as his body became still. The Prince of Earth was now gone. Sailor Moon's eyes filled more tears as she began to weep while hugging Endymion's lifeless body. All Solaris could do was stand there while his sister cried. The sight alone made him want to cry, but he turned his head away, trying to keep his emotions in check.
Sailor Moon cried for a few more seconds until she calmed down. Then, she leaned in and was about to kiss Endymion on the lips when she stopped. She then pulled away, shaking her head.
"No. I'm sorry, Mamoru, but I can't kiss you. Rei, Ami, Mako, Minako, all of them died without ever getting a chance to kiss the boys that they liked," she said quietly. "Right now, nothing would make me happier than kissing you, but... I can't. Besides, I still have a job to do, and I'm not going to run away. So please watch over me, Mamoru. I'll do my best."
She then stood up as Solaris walked up to her.
"Are you OK, Usagi?" he asked.
"I'm fine," replied Sailor Moon. "But... I'm more concerned about you."
"Don't worry. I'm fine," said Solaris. "I just had a quick run-in with Queen Beryl's goons. Took them all out at once, though."
Sailor Moon flashed a smile but didn't keep it for long. "Solaris, I need you to stay here and rest," she said quietly. "I can handle the rest on my own."
Solaris was surprised. "What do you mean by that?" he asked. "We won, didn't we?"
Sailor Moon shook her head. "No. This fight isn't over yet," she said. "Queen Beryl is still alive, and there's also Queen Metalia to deal with."
Solaris was shocked to hear this, but he grabbed Sailor Moon by her hand, stopping her. "Then that's all the more reason to fight her together," he said. "Besides, I'm not about to leave you alone."
Sailor Moon then looked at Solaris, her eyes stern and firm. "Do you honestly think that you can fight in your condition?" she asked. "Look at you. You're badly hurt, and if you went and fought right now, you'd just be holding me back. You need to stay here."
Solaris stared at his sister dumbly, realizing that she was right, but that didn't make him all the more worried for her. He was just about to protest, but he saw the determination in her eyes. A resolve that he had never seen before filled with confidence, bravery, and most of all, conviction. Then he let out a sigh as he let go of her hand.
"When did you get so brave, Usagi?" he asked with a chuckle. "If you weren't my sister, I'd think that you were a whole different person." Then he embraced his sister in a hug, of which she returned in earnest.
"Be careful, Usagi," he whispered. "Make sure you win and make Queen Beryl pay for what she's done."
"I will," said Sailor Moon. "I love you, Bro."
"I love you too, Sis," Solaris said back to her.
The two looked at each other one last time, and Sailor Moon ran off, disappearing into the darkness. As soon as he was sure that Sailor Moon was gone, Solaris collapsed to the ground, falling to his back with a thud as he coughed a little blood.
"I guess... Usagi was right for once. I would have held her back if she saw me like this," he spoke weakly. "Guess I wasn't as tough as I figured I'd be. It's - actually a miracle that I've lasted this long considering I managed to escape from a cave-in."
He then looked at his hand before staring up at the ceiling. As he did, a smile worked its way to his cheeks as he chuckled.
"You sure have grown, Usagi," he said to himself. "You've gone from an immature crybaby to a strong and capable girl. You'd make our mother proud. It's a shame - that I won't be there to watch you beat Beryl."
His vision then grew blurry as his eyes grew heavy, tears trickling down his face, and with what little strength he had left, he lifted his arm, reaching out towards the ceiling.
"Rei. Ami. Makoto. Minako. Mamoru. Mother. I'll be with you shortly," he whispered weakly. "Let's all cheer for Usagi... together."
His hand stayed raised for a moment; then, it fell silently to the ground.
Meanwhile, in the chamber where Queen Metalia was stored, Queen Beryd struggled as she crawled on the floor before the cocoon.
"No.. not again! I refuse to be defeated by that accursed girl!" Queen Beryl weakly hissed as she got closer to the cocoon. "Please, Queen Metalia, I beg you, please grant me your energy! I want the power to crush that despicable girl! Please, Queen Metalia, I'll do anything as long as I can have my revenge!"
The cocoon then glowed as Queen Metalia spoke. "As you wish, Beryl, it's time to instill hatred and greed in all the living creatures in the universe. Eliminate all beings who attempt to resist, Beryl, and turn the world into complete darkness!"
At that moment, the cocoon shattered, revealing a large could of dark energy that formed a face with piercing red eyes, a slasher smile of a mouth, and a large cross on its forehead. It zipped around the room wildly and disappeared as it went inside Queen Beryl. Queen Beryl shrieked in surprise and pain as power coursed through her body while purple light enveloped her.
Outside of the entrance to the Dark Kingdom, the purple smoke stopped, and the ground began to rumble and shake. Then, a giant pillar of black energy erupted from the ground, shooting high into the air filling the sky with dark clouds that boomed with thunder. From the light, a giant bulb remained, and it slowly opened up like a flower and in the middle was a transformed Beryl. She was now gargantuan, sporting a red dress with a black choker with a red gem in the middle, her skin was a pale blue color, and her hair was an eerie green which stood up on end. Feeling incredible power surging through her, Beryl cackled with triumph.
"Yes! At long last, all the dark energy is mine!" she crowed. "I will now rule the entire world!"
Then she sensed someone coming, making her look over her shoulder, wondering who would dare to defy her. Calmly walking towards her, alone yet unafraid and confident, was Sailor Moon. Beryl then turned towards her, ready to face her enemy.
"So you've come, you little irritant of a princess," she spoke as cockily smirked. "I'll make sure to finish you off this time!"
She raised her hands above her head, which sparked with black lightning that represented the power coursing through her and fired a powerful bolt of dark energy. The blast struck Sailor Moon, creating a massive explosion that shook the area creating a tree-like ice pillar like the other Guardians. At first, the evil queen believed that she had killed her enemy but soon realized she was wrong.
On top of the ice tree, it suddenly shattered, creating a platform, and to Beryl's surprise, standing on the platform was not Sailor Moon, but the Moon Princess herself, Serenity.
Back in Juuban, the weather there had changed for the worst due to Metalia's evil energy. The wind howled and blew, and all the power in town went out, making the entire city dark. Artemis and Luna, who had regrouped over at the Tsukino's residence, were the only two who knew what was happening.
"So it's come to this," said Artemis quietly. "The whole world is coming to an end. Queen Metalia's dark energy has been unleashed upon us!"
Luna bit her lip as she looked up towards the sky. Then she dashed off about to jump off the roof, only for Artemis to cut her off.
"Wait, Luna! What are you doing?!" demanded Artemis.
"I have to get to the D-Point right now!" cried Luna. "So get out of my way!"
"It won't do you any good!" Artemis cried back. "There's nothing more we can do at this point!"
"Don't you think I know that?!" Luna yelled, her eyes filling with tears. "But if we don't somehow stop Usagi, she's going to release the power of the Silver Crystal, and once she does, you know she'll die just like the way Queen Serenity did!"
"I know, but there's no other way left to save the world!" Artemis said, regret and frustration evident in his voice.
Luna then looked up and screamed at the top of her lungs, hoping Usagi would hear her.
"Please, Usagi! Don't use the Silver Crystal! If you do, you'll die and be gone forever!"
Princess Serenity looked up at Queen Beryl and steeled her resolve as she raised the Cresent Moon Wand above her head, the Silver Crystal also glowing brightly. Beryl's hands again sparked with power as she prepared for one final confrontation.
"NOW YOU DIE! ! ! ! !" shrieked Beryl.
"MOON HEALING ESCALATION! ! ! !" Princess Serenity yelled.
Beryl then unleashed another tremendous powerful blast of dark energy while Princess Serenity countered with a Moon Healing Escalation, which created a giant bubble of light, shielding her from harm. The two powers crashed against each other, both sides struggling to overpower the other.
"Why?! Why are you going so far to defy me?! How can you be so determined?!" demanded Beryl. "You dream of a lovely future that will never come to pass! Don't you realize that this world is nothing but ugliness and filth?!"
"You're wrong, Beryl!" shouted Princess Serenity. "I believe in this world and what it has shown! Faith, love, trust, friendship, all of it! Everything that this planet has, I believe in, and the Guardians who fought for it!"
"You're a fool for believing such nonsense!" scoffed Beryl. "There's nothing worthwhile in this putrid world for anyone to believe in, and I'll destroy it along with you!"
She then increased the power of her attack, causing the bubble that was the Moon Healing Escalation to weaken and, in turn, caused Princess Serenity to falter, but she refused to go on as she kept it up.
"Please, Silver Crystal... give me strength!" the princess cried out. "I need everyone's combined faith in love to fight for the world we believe in!"
In her mind, she saw flashbacks of all the Guardians, each one telling her their own experiences on love.
Ami: "Love isn't a laughing matter, but you can't help but get a happy feeling from it."
Rei: "Stop saying that I'm in love with him! I just feel bad for Yuichiro; that's it!"
Makoto: "So what if he's got a girlfriend? I'd think it's worth giving it a shot."
Minako: "It's alright. All that matters is that Allan and Katarina are happy."
Harusuke: "Me? In love? I don't know if that's my thing, but I suppose it could be nice."
"No! I won't let you!" shrieked Beryl. "Now that I possess all of Queen Metalia's dark energy, I won't be sealed away by the Silver Crystal!"
And she put even more power into her attack, making the Moon Healing Escalation bubble shrink even more. Princess Serenity stumbled and was almost blasted right off the tower, but she stayed strong and kept up her bubble.
"Everyone, give me strength!" Princess Serenity gasped. "Please!"
At that moment, the spirits of Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and even Solaris all appeared behind her. Each one placed a hand on top of the princess, giving her their strength.
"MERCURY POWER!"
"MARS POWER!"
"JUPITER POWER!"
"VENUS POWER!"
"SOLAR POWER!"
"MOON PRISM POWER!"
At their call, the Silver Crystal glowed even brighter as it was shrouded in bright pink light, then it unleashed a sphere of pink light which grew to an immense size, much to Beryl's shock and horror. She tried to push it back, but it just kept coming swallowing up all of her evil power until the light swallowed up Beryl, entirely disintegrating her in an instant. Then, with Beryl being no more and the battle won, Princess Serenity fell to her back from exhaustion as she turned back to Sailor Moon.
"Thank you, everyone," gasped Sailor Moon. "We did it. We really did it."
Her strength now gone and her energy spent using the Silver Crystal, Sailor Moon took her last breath and breathed no more. However, the power of the Moon Heal Escalation kept going. It began to expand as it glowed and spread throughout the Arctic, swallowing up everything in sight, including Sailor Moon, Endymion, Solaris, and even the other Sailor Guardians.
When I wake up in the morning, I can see and feel the breeze as it rustles the white curtains in my bedroom. My cuckoo clock tells me that it's seven o'clock, then I hear my mom say, "Come on, sleepyhead, time to get up, or you'll be late," but it's so hard to wake up. So I think to myself, "Just three more minutes, and I'll get out of bed." Of course, I'm late for school every day. Ms. Haruna makes me stand out in the hall, and all my tests get covered in red marks. On our way home from school, we all stop for some crepes, then check out the party dresses displayed in the store window. It's those simple things that made my life so happy and fun. I wish. I wish I could go back to being just an ordinary girl.
Usagi Tsukino.
It was now morning at the Tsukino residence. All was quiet and peaceful, but that was soon interrupted by a scream which shook the house.
"I'M GONNA BE LATE AGAIN!"
Usagi then raced down the stairs and gunned straight for the door.
"Bye, everyone! I'll see you after school!"
She then raced down the street, desperate to get to school on time. While that was happening, Luna and Artemis watched Usagi leave while sitting on the roof.
"It's a miracle," murmured Artemis. "Not only did the dark spots on the sun disappear, but everyone got reincarnated."
"Yeah, but it's sad, though," sighed Luna. "Every single memory they had of being together is completely gone."
Artemis smiled. "That's alright. They can all meet each other again," he said. "Maybe then they'll remember each other."
Luna was a bit surprised, but she couldn't help but smile. "You're right."
Soon after school, Usagi felt miserable as she, Harusuke, and Naru walked back home.
"It'll be OK, Usagi," soothed Harusuke. "Try to chin up."
"If only I had studied a little more," Usagi sighed. "I hate you stupid dumb test!"
She then crumped her test into a ball, and it threw over her shoulder. But the crumped test bonked a certain casually dressed boy with black hair on the head, which made him very cross.
"Hey! Watch where you're throwing things bun-head!" the boy complained.
Usagi, Harusuke, and Naru turned to see the boy with black hair uncrumpling Usagi's test and saw the score she got on it making her yelp in shock.
"Thirty percent?" the boy gasped, clearly unnerved. "Looks to me that you need to study a little more bun-head."
Harusuke and Naru couldn't help but snicker a little as Usagi blushed bright red from the insult.
"Well, that's none of your business!" she snapped as she snatched back her test and marched away, but not before making an Akanbe face at him as she stomped away.
Harusuke then went up to the man and bowed politely. "Sorry about my sister's rudeness," he said. "It won't happen again."
The casually dressed boy watched them leave and chuckled as he took off his sunglasses.
"What a couple of strange kids."
"Usagi, that wasn't necessary, you know," Harusuke scolded as he walked alongside her. "You didn't have to be rude."
"But he started it!" complained Usagi. "He's the one that called be bun-head! That stupid jerk with his purple pleated pants!"
"Well, he wouldn't have had to if you hadn't thrown your test at him like that," said Harusuke flatly. "Honestly, you could be a little more mature."
"Oh, come on, admit it. That guy was pretty cool," giggled Naru. "And pretty good looking, to boot."
"No way! He's just a stuck-up jerk!" pouted Usagi.
"That's what you say now, but who knows?" said Naru with a wink. "You might've just met your soulmate back there."
Usagi looked at Naru, disgusted. "No way! Give me a break! I know what my dream guy would look like!"
"You have a dream guy?" Naru and Harusuke repeated incredulously.
"Yep! He's a guy that always comes to my rescue," explained Usagi. "And although I don't know what he looks like yet, I know nobody in the world is cooler than he is."
"So basically, you have a crush on a dream guy that doesn't even exist," said Harusuke. "Man, I'll never understand what is it with you girls in regards to love."
"Come on, Harusuke. You could have a little imagination," said Usagi. "Keep up that attitude, and you'll never get yourself a girlfriend."
"H-Hey! Watch it, Sis! I'll have you know that I'm just as capable as you are when it comes to love!" Harusuke protested.
Naru and Usagi could only laugh as they, along with Harusuke, walked on, heading home and enjoying whatever their lives had to offer.
