The youma slowly walked back to her apartment. She had suffered another humiliating defeat at the hands of the Sailor Senshi. Tonight's trap had been especially devious, and had even resulted in the youma learning of the Senshi's true identities. But the plan backfired because of the senshi. No, not the senshi, the plan backfired because of the interference of Sailor Moon. If only the youma could get rid of Sailor Moon, she could then get rid of the Sailor Senshi. That reminded the youma of something, a spell she had learned a few years ago. For the first time in a week the youma had a smile on her face, for she now had a way to elminate Sailor Moon forever. And with her gone, the senshi would soon follow.

"Ahhh!!! Why didn't anyone wake me!!" Usagi's mornings always followed a well laid plan. First she would sleep in, then when Luna would wake her she would cry. After that she would wolf down some breakfast, cry some more, and run to school, late as usual. Luna just yawned, sometimes it pays to be a cat.

Right now she was running to school and crying. She was soon joined by another girl who was late for school as well, one Naru Osaka, her best friend. "How's it going, Naru?"

"I'm fine.." Naru gasped between her breaths as the pair continued to run towards school. Naru's mother once told her that Usagi was a bad influence on her, but Naru brushed it off. Now that she was late for the third consecutive day, she began to wonder if her mother was right. "We're gonna get it today, Usagi..."

"Ah, we're only gonna miss English, Naru," Usagi replied "and that class is worthless. I still can't believe Usagi translates into Serena!!!" Usagi continued to run at a breakneck speed, until she saw something, make that someone. It was Mamoru. "OH NO!!" Usagi yelled as she pulled Naru into a nearby alley.

"What's going on, Usagi ?"

"It's Mamo-chan, he's going to scold me if he catches me late for school again." Usagi wondered if this would be a good time to cry. If Mamo-chan caught her, he would be just a little bit mad at her.

"Excuse me..."

"Ahh!! Mamo-chan!!" That's it, Usagi thought, now I cry. Which Usagi started to do.

"Usagi..." Naru said trying to shake her friend out of her constant crying.

Usagi stopped crying for a bit, only enough so she could look up to see who was talking to them. It wasn't Mamo-chan, it was a police woman. Usagi started to cry again.

"Come on now, let's go to school..."

"Oh boy, we're in trouble now.." Naru wondered if it was too late to join a convent, because her mother was really gonna kill her for this. Usagi was still crying, which is amazing because she already cried about 20 litres of water.

"Don't worry, everything is going to be all right..." The police woman started to herd the girls to school, carefully hiding the fact that she now had red eyes. The youma had an evil grin on her face. The plan was working perfectly, all she needed to do was open the portal and poof, no more Sailor Moon. "Here we are now..."

Mamoru was on his way to University when he saw Usagi walking down the street. Great, he thought, she's late again. I'm gonna have to scold her. He decided to remain at a distance just to torment her, because he knew that she would do everything to avoid him. And from the top of the building he saw the police woman talk to the girls. He was going to interrupt. when he saw a weird portal open next to the girls. He then saw them disappear before his eyes. The police woman was a Youma.

"Usako!!!"

"Hey Usagi..."

"What is it, Naru..." Usagi was still using her best method of coping with troublesome situations, she was crying.

"I think the police woman is gone.." Naru sighed, she could continue to live in Tokyo for the rest of her life.

"She is!!" This news perked Usagi right up. Suddenly full of energy, she started to run to school with Naru following closely behind.

"Okay, has anyone done their homework?" Mrs. Haruna asked in earnest. She really didn't expect any one in this class to have finished the assignment, but she had to ask in hopeless optimism that somone would actually show enough initiative to actually do some work. She sighed, it's days like this that make most teachers want to go into less stressful jobs like air traffic control.

"Come on now!! Somone had to have read the poem last night..." Mrs. Haruna hopes were raised when someone finally started to raise their hand. But the hand soon came down as two girls entered the classroom quite unceremoniously. It was Naru Osaka and Usagi Tsukino.

"Sorry we're late, sensei!!!" the two girls muttered apologetically.

"Ok.. Okay!!! Yuki, please read the poem by Robert Frost on page 112." Mrs. Haruna closely eyed the newcomers. This is it, she thought, I've finally lost it. The whole class was also thinking they had gone crazy. Naru was one of the first to see how the class was reacting to their presence. If she didn't know better, she would think that the entire class had just seen a ghost.

Mrs. Haruna was shaking as she reached for a bottle of aspirin. If she could just ignore them for the rest of the day, she could survive. And then she could take a long vacation. She could be far away from the insanity that was taking place. She just had to ignore them. Which was hard to do because Usagi started to snore like a chainsaw.

"Usagi!!!" Naru said as she looked over to Mrs. Haruna, who had a look of pure terror on her face. The class also had a look of utter fear on their faces. Naru began to wonder what was going on here.

Mrs. Haruna was slowly losing it by now. She wanted it to stop, but it wasn't really there, was it? Finally she couldn't stand the noise anymore, and she went over to Usagi's desk and in a timid voice asked "Would you please stop annoying the class..."

Usagi started to wake up, and saw that Mrs. Haruna was standing over her. Oh boy, I'm in trouble now. "Sorry, Sensei..."

"Ahh... no problem... Ah... Today is self study for the rest of the day.. Ja ne!!" Mrs. Haruna then procceded to run out of the classroom. She wondered if there was still enough time for her to get an appointment with her therapist. The other students also began to leave the class room at a high velocity, leaving only a stunned Naru and a happy Usagi.

"All right !! No more school!!"

Ami really hoped that nothing was going to happen at the school today. She wanted to enjoy a day of school, something she hadn't done in a long while. That's why she hoped the reports of a Dark Kingdom attack were false. But they weren't, as she saw the one person she wished she would never see. She also saw a person she thought she would never see again. She flipped open her computer and began to take readings. At the same time she decided to use her communicator to call Rei. "Rei, get over here now... you won't believe what I just saw..."

It was lunch time at Juuban Junior high. Naru and Usagi were eating their lunches under a tree. Naru had a look of concern on her face, while Usagi was inhaling some rice balls. "I'm telling you something's wrong here, Usagi..."

"The only thing that's wrong here is the fact that you are not enjoying the reprieve we've gotten from school!!"

"Maybe you're right.." Naru sighed, she just didn't like the way this day felt. Something was wrong and she could feel it. "I'm going to the bathroom..."

Usagi tried to reply, but couldn't because her mouth was full of miso soup. She really worried about Naru, after all she just didn't know how to have fun.

Today was a special day at the Juuban cafeteria, for today was free rice ball day. Outside the entrance stood most of the student body. Some wondered why they were giving away free rice balls, a few even wondered if there was a cafeteria at Juuban. Inside, the lunch lady youma just smiled. She knew the poor pathetic humans couldn't resist the offer of free food, and soon their energy would belong to the Dark Kingdom.

"All right, form a straight line and you'll get what's coming to you!!" The youma yelled in her best drill sargeant voice. "Oh yeah, everyone move one step to the left." Slowly the students did as they were told, and the youma began to smile. "Now..."

Suddenly a large cloud of gas surrounded the students. Some tried to scream, but they couldn't. Their energy was being sucked away to the Dark Kingdom. The only one left standing was the youma. "Sorry, we're all out of rice balls!!!"

It was at that moment Naru Osaka entered the cafeteria. "Excuse me, do you know where I can find the bathroom.."

The youma looked over towards her. Standing in front of her was another human. She smiled, sometimes she just loved her job.

"AIEEE!!!"

"Huh.." Usagi immediately dropped the cup of noodles she was eating. "Naru's in trouble!!!!" Suddenly Usagi remembered that Naru said something weird was going on here today. Damn it, why didn't I listen to Naru, Usagi thought. There was only one thing she could do now. "Moon cosmic power make up!!!"

Naru had prepared herself for the upcoming impact. What she hadn't prepared for was what the youma really did. In front of her, the youma that was going to kill her bowed down before her. "I'm sorry, Naru-san, I thought you were a human..." Naru was perplexed, what the hell was going on here.

"Hey you..."

"Huh.." The youma looked around to find where the mysterious voice was coming from.

"Lunch is a time of rest and relaxation for the normal student and I will not have you turn it into a time for evil. For love and justice, I'm the pretty soldier Sailor Moon. In place of the Moon, I'll punish you!" The youma looked up at the rafters in shock. Sailor Moon took this opportunity to jump down and attack. "Moon spiral heart attack!!!"

The stunned youma took the brunt of the blow and was thrown back into the cafeteria wall. Sailor Moon thought the youma would become a pile of dust now, but instead the youma began to slowly rise. "Naru-san... we must retreat.." The youma gasped as she began to disappear, leaving only a stunned Sailor Moon and Naru. Sailor Moon wondered why her attack didn't destroy the youma, while Naru wondered how the youma knew her. Together the both of them asked "What the hell is going on here?"

"Usagi!!!"

"Huh..." Usagi turned around to see Sailor Mercury standing in the door way. "No... Usagi is not here, Mercury... It's me, Sailor Moon.."

"USAGI!!!" Ami cried as she ran to hug Sailor Moon. Naru looked over to Sailor moon, and for the first time began to see that Sailor Moon did look a lot like her friend Usagi. "Usagi...?" Naru asked.

"Ahh... uh..." Usagi stuttered as Ami continued to hug her. She was going to answer Naru when she heard a loud yell from across the room.

"You!!!"

"Rei!?!"

"Prepare to die, Naru Osaka!!!"

Zoisite looked over towards the youma that had failed, and laughed. "So you expect me to believe that a ghost came back from the dead and defeated you..."

The youma was cringing at the feet of Zoisite. This was not going well, so she had to pull out all the stops "But Naru-san was there!!!"

"What!!" Zoisite yelled. Of course it was all clear now, Naru wanted to upstage Zoisite. "You fool... Die!!!" The youma screamed as she became surronded by rose petals before she disappeared into nothingness.

"What a waste. But I must go to the school before that fool Naru takes all the glory away from me..."

Naru Osaka had many things happen to her in her life. But she had never been choked by a human before. This was changing as Rei Hino, AKA Sailor Mars, was slowly making sure Naru never breathed another breath again. "I'll get you for the pain you caused!!!"

"Rei!!!" Usagi yelled. "Why are you doing this... Rei!!!"

"Usagi!!!" Rei cried as she let go of Naru's throat. She then ran over to Usagi's side and started to cry. "I'm sorry!!"

"Why did you try to kill Naru, Rei ?" Usagi asked her friend.

"Because she deserved to die!!" Rei yelled. Naru was shocked, what did she ever do to Rei.

"My my, Naru, haven't we been busy..."

Naru turned to look where the voice was coming from and she saw a circle of rose petals. It was Zoisite. "What do you want from me?"

Zoisite was going to answer when she was interupted by a voice, a voice she had heard before. "Leave Naru alone!!!" Usagi yelled.

"Ahh... It.. can't... be..." Zoisite stuttered. Standing before her was a dead person, a person she saw die.

"Zoisite... aren't you... dead?" Usagi asked.

"No... but you'll be!!!" Zoisite suddenly leapt to the attack. Usagi was ready with the cutie moon rod though. "Moon princess halation!!!" Zoisite wasn't ready for the projectile, and was sent crashing into the floor.

"Ow... I'm not done yet..." Zoisite rose and was ready to press the attack. But she was stopped in her tracks by a thrown rose. It was Tuxedo Kamen. "Okay, you win this round... But I'll be back!!!" Zoisite muttered as she disappeared into the swirlling rose petals.

"Mamo-chan!!!" Ami yelled as she ran over to Mamoru's side. Mamo-chan, Usagi thought, did she just call him Mamo-chan? "What the hell is going on here?" Usagi asked, no, she demanded to know.

"Well... you see" Ami started to explain, "You're from another dimension.."

The youma was gasping for air. It seems Tuxedo Kamen had his hands around her throat, and he was just a little mad at her for making his girlfriend disappear."Where is Usagi?" Tuxedo Kamen asked the youma.

"She's in another dimension.." the youma replied "and with her gone, my victory over the Sailor Senshi will be complete!!!"

This just made Mamoru angrier. "Is that so, well you forgot about one thing, ME!!!" Suddenly Tuxedo Kamen sent over a thousand roses towards the youma. The youma screamed as the roses hit her, and soon she was nothing more than a pile of dust, leaving only a very mad Tuxedo Kamen. "Hang on Usako, I'll save you!!!"

"What?!?" a perplexed Usagi and Naru said in unison.

"You're from another dimension," Ami began to explain to them for the fourth time, this time in plain Japanese. "Your DNA pattern is the same as Usagi and Naru's except for one gene, a gene that is common to everyone on this planet. So you must come from another dimension."

Usagi seemed to have a look of comprehension on her face "I guess that explains everything..."

But Naru interupted Usagi "No it doesn't, It doesn't explain why she wants to kill me!!" Naru was pointing over to a fuming Rei.

"Why... Why... because you killed Usagi and Mako-chan..."

"You see, it started back when Nephrite came to Earth," Ami started to explain. "In this reality Naru was obsessesd with Nephrite, and even though she was used by him many times, she decided to run away with him one day."

Naru began to remeber her Nephrite, and remembered that he had used her. But then she also remembered that the Nephrite she knew turned good, and that he died saving her.

Ami continued her story "Usagi was very worried about you, and that distracted her. She wasn't putting 100% into stopping the Dark Kingdom, so they were able to get all seven of the nijizuishou. Then one day Naru phoned Usagi, and said she wanted to meet her on the dock. We went and Naru was there. Usagi ran to hug Naru, but Naru was waiting and stabbed her in the back. It was a trap. Mako-chan managed to free the seven nijizuishou holders, but was killed by Naru before she could escape. Now Beryl has the ginzuishou under her control."

Naru just sat there shaking, She had never imagined herself a killer, yet she had just heard that she was responsible for the deaths of two people, one of them was her best friend even. Usagi was just sitting perfectly still, still absorbing what Ami had said. Finally she asked "Where's Minako?"

Ami was confused "Minako?"

"Uh... never mind..." Beryl probably killed her before she met the other Senshi, Usagi thought. That thought, and the thought that Beryl turned her best friend evil just made Usagi mad. "I can't let this continue... we've gotta stop Beryl... are you with me?"

"Yeah!!" the remaining Senshi yelled in support of their recently returned comrade.

"Naru..."

"Yeah.. I'm with you.." But Naru's thoughts were elsewhere. She was wondering how she could have become so evil. Usagi herself was wondering how she could beat Beryl at half strength. She hoped that somehow her ginzuishou would come back to full strength.

"So explain again why you failed Zoisite?" Beryl asked in a threatening voice.

"Sailor Moon defeated me, Beryl-sama.."

"And you expect me to believe that a dead person beat you, Zoisite!!?!"

Now Zoisite was fighting for her life. "But Naru-san was there also!!!"

"But Naru-san has been here all day" Beryl pondered that last statement. She knew she had felt some weird readings over the last couple of hours, but she didn't know what they meant, until now. "I believe you, Zoisite... Naru-san!!!"

"Yes, Beryl-sama!!!" The evil Naru answered as she materialized inside Beryl's throne room.

"Sailor Moon has returned... Go Kill her!!!"

"Hai!! Beryl-sama!!" The evil Naru then disappeared from the throne room.

Beryl looked over to Zoisite. "Zoisite, would you be a dear and bring me the *other* Naru?!!"

"Huh..."

"Just do IT!!!" Beryl yelled. Zoisite got the hint and disappeared. Beryl looked over at the ginzuishou, her dark ginzuishou."Soon you'll have another person to turn to evil, soon ".

In front of Naru stood the source of power that gave the Dark Kingdom the foothold it now has over the Earth. It is the ginzushou, the dark ginzuishou. It is also the thing that turned Naru completely evil. When Naru killed Sailor Moon and the ginzuishou was brought under Beryl's control, Naru was offered a chance to join with the crystal and enjoy its dark power. She at first was reluctant, but Nephrite encouraged her to take the 'gift'. Little did she know that when she joined with the crystal, she would become at one with one of the most evil forces in the world. She screamed as what remained of her humanity was eaten away by evil. And when she emerged she was no longer Naru Osaka, she was Naru, servant and general in the Dark Kingdom. She sighed as she once again stepped up to the crystal to join with its dark power. Now is no time for regrets, Naru, just go on with your life, she thought. The power once again encased her in a shell of dark energy. "I'm no longer Human, only evil. Thus I live to serve..."

Nephrite looked on as Naru bathed in the energy of evil. He had a tear in his eye. And it took all of his self control to stop himself from saying "I'm sorry, Naru-chan."

Ami analyzed the data her computer was giving her at the fountain. It certainly didn't look too encouraging. There was absolutely no way they were going to be able to find Usgai and Naru. She was about to tell them the computer failed when she picked up a faint reading. It was coming from Mamoru. "I've got it!!!"

"What!!?!" asked the assembled senshi which included Mako-chan, Minako, Rei, and Chibi-usa along with Mamoru.

"It's a faint reading coming from Mamoru, it appears to be some of the energy from the ginzuishou."

Mamoru immediately began to ponder what Ami just said. He suddenly came to one conclusion, "You mean she's not at full power!?!"

"Precisely!!" Ami then paused to let the impact of the last statement sink in before she continued. "But there also is some good news... we can use this energy strain as a lifeline to pull Usagi and Naru back."

Ever since he was a little boy, Mamoru had just one obsession. While other boys obsessed about cars or being a fireman or maybe even being a great Manga hero, Chiba Mamoru always obssesed about his past. This obssesion went well into his University days, as he always wanted to know who his parents were, if he ever had a brother. It was in first year Unverisity that the dreams started, the dreams of the moon princess. They haunted his sleep for months, as he strived to find out who she was and why she wanted him to find the seven nijizuishou. The obsession continued after he finally found out that he was Tuxedo Kamen. Then one day the dreams stopped.

It was the day Sailor Moon died. At first he welcomed the absence of the dreams. But as the days passed, he began to fear that he lost his one best chance to find out about his past. If it wasn't for Ami, he would've probably killed himself months ago because he couldn't live without knowing the truth. But Ami comforted him, and he comforted her. She blamed herself for the deaths of Usagi and Mako-chan. But he helped reinforce her confidence, and she helped him to forget the past. Now they both looked forward to the future, a future free of the evil of the Dark Kingdom.

But the reappearance of Sailor Moon has unsettled him, made him once again question his past. So while Usagi and Naru were talking in the corner, he decided to go over and talk to her, about him and his past.

"Um Hello, Usagi...."

"Hi Mamo... Mamoru!!"

"I was wondering if you could tell me about my past?"

Usagi immediately began to wonder, should she tell him the full truth about how she and Mamoru were meant to be together or should she lie so Mamoru could have a chance to be happy with Ami here. After all, it was not like Usagi planned to be here forever, she planned to leave with Naru after she kicked Beryl's butt again, that's if they could leave. Finally she decided to tell a half truth. "You were the prince of Earth back in the days of the Moon Kingdom. We... I mean, you used to be close friends with the moon princess, but that's all. You used to go out with Mercury if I can remember correctly.."

Mamoru suddenly smiled, he knew that he and Ami were destined to be together. Usagi also managed a half-hearted smile. She was happy that Mamoru was happy, but she also wished she could see her Mamo-chan.

"All right, everyone, Listen up!!" Ami yelled at the top of her lungs. Usagi was amazed at how much of a leader Ami had become. She seemed an even better leader than Usagi could ever be. "We need to find the Moon princess now.. Usagi, since you're Sailor Moon maybe you have an idea where to find her?"

Usagi pondered answering the question. She was after all the moon princess. But she wasn't at full power, and she was afraid that telling these Senshi that she was the Moon princess would depress their spirits. She would have to bide her time until she had enough power to take Beryl down for good. So Usagi decided to stall, "Well... uhh..."

Fortunately for Usagi there was an interruption, in the form of a loud crashing noise out back. "There's something outside!!!" Rei yelled as she prepared for battle

"Calm down Rei... Let's scout it out first..."

"Screw it, Ami. I'm going in!!!" Usagi looked at her friend and wondered what ever happened to the Rei she used to know. Sure she could be cruel, mean, and heartless sometimes, but she was never as cold or as evil as this. It was almost as if Rei blamed herself for Usagi's death and turned the anger and rage inwards until she became the cold individual she was today. "All right, come out now!!!"

"Why certainly!!" Rei immediately recognized the voice from the back. It belonged to the person she hated most in the world today, and was the same voice as one of the people in the room right now. "Why you!!! Die!!!"

Naru just snickered. "What a pathetic attack!!! You really must want to die today, Rei!!"

"Stuff it, you bitch!!!"

"Now now, no need for such harsh language." Naru laughed as she caught the punch that Rei tried to throw at her. She then proceeded to throw Rei into the nearest trash dumpster. "Well, where are you, Sailor Moon?"

Usagi cringed, it was the voice of Naru all right. But she wondered how she got to be so evil sounding. The Naru that came with Usagi was also silent, from the fear that one gets from seeing one's darkside. Nothing is more scary for anyone then seeing how evil they could be, and for Naru Osaka she was reminded that she could perhaps be the most evil person on the planet Earth.

"Well come on, Mrs. Moon, we don't have all day, now do we!!". The evil Naru grew impatient, maybe Zoisite snapped and thought she saw Sailor Moon. Oh well, at least there was Sailor Mars she could kill.

"Hold it right there...."

"Huh..." no, it couldn't be, the evil Naru thought, I killed her.

"Even though you have the guise of the person who has nothing but kindness in her soul, you have nothing but the darkness of evil to fill your being. But I shall see to it that the evil is forever extinguished. For love and justice, I'm the pretty soldier Sailor Moon. In place of the moon, I'll punish you!!"

The evil Naru looked up, and saw that indeed it was Sailor Moon, her former friend who she killed. "Oh my..."

"Please Naru, I know you are good, please come back to us!!!"

"Save your sympathy!!! I'm nothing but pure evil!!! And I shall destroy you, Usagi!!!"

Usagi was shocked, was this dimension's Naru really that evil? Naru herself was shocked, she could never imagine herself killing anybody. But right now, in front of her own eyes, she was going to kill her best friend in the whole world.

The evil Naru readied herself for her attack. She concentrated only on Sailor Moon. She kept repeating to herself 'No regrets, no going back' as she readied to charge. Usagi wasn't sure if she was ready to fight Naru, even though this one was pure evil. The evil Naru took advantage of this and started to charge. She however forgot one person.

"Die, you monster!!" It was Rei, who jumped out of the dumpster and onto the evil Naru's back. Naru struggled for a while as Rei hung onto her back. But she was able to grab onto the front of Rei and send her flying into Usagi, knocking both of them to the ground.

"Ahh!! I see you're ready to fight!! Well, let's end this game quickly.. Prepare to die!!!" A blue sphere formed around the evil Naru's hands, and she launched it towards the stunned Usagi and Rei. It was about to engulf the two when Naru pushed both of them out of the way, barely avoiding the projectile herself.

The evil Naru was shocked. There in front of her stood the girl she once was, the Naru that was happy and go-lucky and had strange things happen to her. This was a Naru that was happy and had friends. For the first time in her service for Queen Beryl, she hesitated to continue her attack. That hesitation allowed Ami and Mamoru to surround her. She was completely surrounded, and was outnumbered to boot. "Don't worry, I'll be back to finish this later!!!" The evil Naru then faded into thin air.

Usagi groaned, god she was hurt. physically and emotionally. So was Naru, she was on the verge of crying. Usagi slowly moved up to her and tried to comfort her, but Naru pushed her away. "I'm sorry, but I have to go for a walk!!!"

Usagi tried to stop her, but Ami put her hand on her shoulder. "No, leave her be..."

"Naru..."

Once in a part of her life that seemed far away, Naru Osaka lived with her mother who owned a jewlery store in the Minato-ku district. Those were happy times, times she spent with her friends, her best friend actually. Of all the friends she had, Usgai was the one that was her best friend. Usagi was always there for her, and one day she repaid her friendship by killing her. Now Naru a was creature of evil, and of malice. And she always thought she was a creature of pure evil, born to destroy all things good. But seeing herself, as she used to be, made her question that belief.

And so the evil Naru stood at the ruins of her mother's store, and wondered how her life could of been. She wondered how much fun she could have had, and what boys she could have dated. But those were afterthoughts, memories of the past. The only thing that remained was evil, the only thing she had left was Beryl. She had even lost her love for Nephrite. But those were regrets, and she had to push them out. There was no time for regrets. She had to go forward. Naru Osaka existed no more, yet she did exist. She stood in front of her, mocking her almost by saying that this what you could have been. But why does that matter, all that remains is evil and all that is left is Beryl. The evil Naru picked herself up, and started to head back to her home, the Dark Kingdom. Once again she said to herself 'No regrets, no remorse' but this time she did have regrets.

Nephrite arrived at the store soon after the evil Naru left. He was carrying a bundle of roses. He placed them down at the front of the store. "Please forgive me for taking your daughter away... I'm sorry."

At first he really didn't care about her, she was only a tool to be used in his plot for revenge against Sailor Moon. And when Nephrite found out that Sailor Moon was really Naru's best friend Usagi he knew he found the way to get Sailor Moon. So Nephrite used Naru's crush to get her to run away with him and he soon started to train her, train her to kill her best friend. At first Nephrite looked at Naru as only a tool for vegence, but soon he started to like her. He liked the childish smile on her face. He liked the way she would spend time with him. And soon Nephrite wished that Naru would be with him for ever. And she could if she would serve the Dark Kingdom and Queen Beryl. But when Naru returned from her mission to kill Usagi she had changed. She was no longer the carefree soul Nephrite feel in love with, she was now a soul of pure evil. Naru no longer felt love, but the evil the Dark Kingdom and Beryl. And Nephrite was responsible for making her as Beryl had said when Sailor Moon was killed. But Nephrite felt no joy at the moment, he was guitly because he killed two people that day, Usagi and his beloved Naru...

Nephrite stood there for a couple of minutes expecting an answer. He didn't get one, nor did he expect forgiveness. He had taken away their daughter and he took away the girl he loved. The only reason he stayed with the dark Kingdom was for Naru's sake as he did not want to leave her alone. He once again looked back at the ruins of the jewelry store and sighed looking at the evil he helped create. He stood there and started to cry and continued to cry for the next few minutes. In fact he almost missed the person walking down the street.

It was Naru, the Naru before he turned her to evil. She looked full of life and happiness, but upon closer inspection he discovered that her face had a look of concern on it. Nephrite wondered, who was this. Did Naru turn to good, Nephrite hoped. Or was this a ghost to torment him for eternity like he deserved. One thing for was for sure, he was going to find out who she was. He started to walk down the street, when Zoisite appeared in front of Naru.

"So there you are..."

"What do you want... you evil person!!" Naru was worried, she couldn't fight. She had to stall for help.

"I want you!!" Zoisite suddenly formed a shell surrounding Naru. Naru began to scream for help. Zoisite laughed "Don't worry, once Queen Beryl is done with you, you'll be in touch with your real self.

At that moment Naru Osaka screamed louder than she had ever screamed in her life.

"NO!!!!" Nephrite screamed "Not again!!" They had once again taken away the Naru he had loved and were going to replace her with the evil one that exists now. Nephrite suddenly remembered Beryl talking about Sailor Moon being alive again. He knew that he only had one hope, and that he had to sacrifice everything to get Naru back again.

Usagi was worried, Naru hadn't returned yet. Also she was still only at half power, which meant she couldn't go after Beryl. "Where's Naru ? I'm getting worried about her!!"

"Ahh, who cares, let her rot for all I care!!"

Usagi was really shocked by Rei this time. "Stop being so cruel, Rei... She hasn't hurt me!!!"

"I'm sorry... I'm..." Rei was close to tears. Usagi felt sorry for snapping at her. She was probably an emotional wreck because of what had happened to her. She felt sorry for Rei, and this only made Usagi want to hurt Beryl, hurt her for what she had done to Usagi's friends.

"Hmm, there is someone coming.." Ami whispered in an alarmed voice.

"Is it Naru?"

"No Usagi... It's..." but Ami was too shocked to finish her sentence. In the front door was Nephrite, in the flesh.

"You have to help me..."

"And why should we do that.." Rei asked in a very cold voice.

"Beryl's kidnapped Naru... after she turned good"

Oh no!! Naru is going to be turned into that heartless killing machine. "Where is she? We've got to find her!!"

"She's at Beryl's castle in the Dark Kindom" Nephrite replied in tears.

"Who cares.." Rei huffed in a cold statement.

"Rei!! She is not evil!!" Ami lectured her. "But we can't go. We must wait for the Moon princess so we can be sure of victory!!"

"What!!" Usagi yelled.

"Ami's right. The good of the many over the needs of the few..." Mamoru said backing up Ami, not believing a word he just said.

"But..."

"Usagi... We... I don't want to see you get hurt again..." Rei pleaded with Usagi as again she was in tears.

"But..." Usagi sighed, only one thing left to do. "I'm going in alone, whether you like it or not!!"

"Usagi!! You'll die!!"

"No I won't, Rei, because I have this.." Suddenly Usagi opened her broach to reveal the crystal inside. It was the ginzuishou. "I am the moon princess, now, are you with me?"

The stunned senshi could only manage a subdued Hai.

"Okay, Nephrite, can you take us to Beryl's castle..."

"Yes," Nephrite replied "But on one condition..."

"Which is ?"

Nephrite stood there for a moment waiting to answer Usagi's question, when he finally responded with, "I want you to kill me, kill me for ruining Naru's life!!!"

The evil Naru returned to the Dark Kingdom in a bit of a funk, but that usually happens when you see yourself. Not that running into Zoisite would help one's mood much. Zoisite seemed smug today which could mean only one thing. "Okay, what did you do for Queen Beryl today, Zoisite ?"

"Why nothing special.." Zoisite paused to get the right dramatic effect here. He really wanted to get Naru's goat today. "I just kidnapped the other Naru for Beryl-sama!!! Looks like we'll be having a new partner!!"

The evil Naru was stunned. No, this can't be happening. Why did she have to relive the evil again. Why?

"Hey cheer up Naru !! I've always wanted a twin!!" Zoisite laughed as he left the room, leaving only a shocked and crying Naru.

Queen Beryl looked over her new toy. If she was anything like the old Naru, she would be a great servant, someone with real potential to be evil. "Wake up now, Naru-chan!!"

Naru started to regain consciousness. She looked all around her, and saw nothing but dark and evil. She looked up at her jailer, and saw an evil smile appear on her face. "What do you want?"

"Nothing much, a new car, the AFC to win a super bowl, you to be my slave..."

"Don't count on it..." Naru spat at Beryl just to make sure she knew to stay away from her.

"Ha... I always get what I want.. This makes sure I'm always happy!!"

Naru's eyes look over at the black stone. It looks like the crystal in Usagi's broach, except that this one is pitch black. "What is it?"

"It's the Black ginzuishou.." Beryl replied "It gives me anything I want!!!"

"Well, you won't have me!!" Naru yelled half defiantly, half in fear.

"Oh we'll see, we'll see!!!" And Beryl began to laugh, a laugh that made Naru feel very uncomfortable. Naru at that moment, began to make peace with her god as she doubted that she would ever live again. At least live as she once knew how to live.

Mamoru looked perplexed. "Okay, how does this work again Ami.."

Ami sighed, and began to explain her plan for the fifth time, but this time in plain Japanese. "Just concentrate enough and you should be able to make the Ginzuishou energy become solid enough that you can pull Usagi back.."

"Okay.." Mamoru bit his lip. Hang on Usako, you're coming home soon.

"You ready?" Nephrite asked the group.

"As ready as we'll ever be.." Usagi replied.

"Okay, let's go!!" Suddenly a huge sphere of energy surrounds the warriors. The room they were in began to disappear. Usagi however was not paying attention to the surroundings. She was more concerned about Naru, and her safety. "Hang on Naru, we're coming..."

And then they vanished, leaving behind a lone observer. Sailor V looked over the scene carefully. Damn, gotta go to the Dark Kingdom castle, she thought. But no way am I gonna let her die this time, this I swear!!!

Naru really liked school, even though she had an increasing habit of being late for school. But that didn't matter much now. Now she stood on the verge of becoming the evil version of herself she saw earlier in the day. And at this moment she was making peace with all the friends she knew and would never meet again.

"What..." Beryl yelled in surprise. They've come, Usagi has come, Naru thought. I'm saved !!!

"They've come... Usagi has come. And no, you're not saved!!" Suddenly a big ball of black energy surrounds Queen Beryl. Naru is blinded by the light and can't see what's happening. Finally the glow lifts, and Queen Beryl isn't there. But Naru screams anyway. It's Queen Metallia. "All right... Let the party begin!!!"

Nephrite looked around Beryl's throne room. There was nothing there, nothing at all. "I don't get it!!"

"Maybe you took us to the wrong place, Neddie.." Rei replied in a mocking tone.

"Hey, I see Naru!!" Usagi yelled. "Naru, are you all right!?!"

Naru looks up and sees Usagi running towards her. She tried to yell but can't. It's a trap and she knows it.

"Naru!!!"

Nephrite senses something is wrong, and just manages to push Usagi out of the way before she is engulfed by a ball of energy. "How was that!!"

"Why it's just me, Queen Metalia!!"

"Why you!!" Suddenly Nephrite charges, ready to kick Metalia. Metalia blocks, but the attack is a feint. But Metalia sees through this and blasts Nephrite into the far wall.

"And to think I thought you were a great general..."

Suddenly the evil Naru appeared behind Metalia. "Ma'am..."

"Ahh!! Naru, I want you to meet our new servant... Naru!!!"

"I know, ma'am... and I'm here to say... that you can't have her!!!" The evil Naru suddenly leaped at Metalia, but like Nephrite before her, she was flung into the wall.

"How pathetic. Well then, I'm afraid I'm going to have to kill you now..."

"Huh... No!!!" Usagi yelled.

"Don't worry, you'll be next, Usagi-chan!!! Now Die you two!!" Metalia's hands radiate with electricity as she prepares to strike down her fallen servants. Having only a few minutes left to live, Nehprite decides to apologize. "Naru.. I'm sorry..."

"I know... I forgive you..."

"Naru!!!"

"Usagi..."

"What, Naru ?" Usagi asked.

"Please remember that I was, in the end, good..." It was at that moment Metalia decided to release the electric shocks. The two lovers that had just rediscovered life had it rudely taken away from them. Both Naru and Usagi screamed.

"Tsk... Tsk, I hope you learn from her mistakes, Naru!!"

"You monster!! I hate you!! "

"Why thank you.. and you won't hate me for long..."

"Oh yeah.." Usagi said as she interjected herself in the conversation.

"And what are you gonna do about it... Usagi!!!"

"This..." Suddenly the ginzuishou starts to radiate with energy. Usagi begins her transformation from Sailor Moon into Princess Serenity. There is only one problem, there isn't enough power in the ginzuishou to keep up a long battle. Oh well, I have to beat her quickly, Usagi thought. "Cosmic moon power!!!"

"Now, Mamoru!!" Ami yelled.

"Hang on, Usako!!" Mamoru suddenly began to pull on the energy thread connecting himself to Usagi. Little did he know that to make such a bond, the ginzuishou has to use up energy.

Which is what Usagi found out. She felt something pulling her back, a strong force tearing her apart almost. "No, not now!!!" Usagi yelled as she tried to stay where she was. "I've got to destroy her!!" Usagi continued to resist the force, completely ignoring Metalia. But Metalia didn't ignore her, in fact she was paying complete attention and sent a huge ball of energy towards Usagi. Usagi only saw it at the last minute, and managed to use what was left of the ginzuishou to form a barrier. It didn't hold. Rei let out a huge scream as she saw her friend die for a second time.

"No!! I'm losing her!!" Mamoru yelled.

"Just hang on !!!" Ami replied. But the energy rope suddenly disappeared. "Usagi!!"

"Usako!!" No, I'm not going to lose her, Mamoru thought. "USAKO!!!"

Rei screamed as she saw Usagi die in the energy ball. This finally put her over the edge. She lost what little sanity she had left and charged at Queen Metalia. Metalia immediately made sure she lost her life after she lost her sanity. "Rei!!!" Ami yelled. "Damn you to hell!!!" Ami leapt to the attack, but Metalia was ready with another ball of energy slamming Ami into the wall.

"AMI!!!" Mamoru yelled. He leapt to the attack throwing a rose at Metalia. Metalia just took the rose attack in stride, and introduced Mamoru to another energy ball, throwing him next to Ami.

"Ami..."

"Mamo-chan..."

"I love you!!!"

"How sweet!!" Metalia laughed. She then sent another energy ball towards them, annihilating them instantaneously.

"NOOOOO!!" Sailor V yelled. Not again. She was too late again, and she cost people their lives. But this time she also lost her life too.

Metalia laughed, she had won. She looked over to Naru. "Well, are you ready to become my servant?"

Naru just ignored her. She wanted to wring her neck for what she did to her friends.

"Don't worry, you'll be as evil as me when I'm done!!" Suddenly the dark ginzuishou began to glow. The energy began to surround Naru, and suck her into the crystal. Naru tried to scream, but she couldn't.

"Well, she's won, Kunzite. "

"I know, Zoisite..." Kunzite was worried. What would she do to them?

"I know, we can just leave. She won't chase us around the universe!!!"

"Yeah, you're right, Zoisite.." Kunzite was happy. Finally they could live the life they always wanted.

"Did I ever tell you I loved you, Kunzite..."

"Yes, you always tell me that..."

When Naru awoke, she saw that she was in a different world. She was inside the crystal. The dark ginzuishou. Naru tried to scream, but she couldn't. Everywhere she looked, there was darkness. Darkness that was trying to surround her. No, I don't want to be evil!! No!!!

"Don't be afraid..."

"Huh.." Naru thought she had lost it. She was hearing voices in here.

"The best way to smash this evil is to believe in good. Do that and you can resist this evil..."

"But how.." Naru asked. But she received no reply. Instead the shadows started to attack her. She started to think evil thoughts, like hurting people, attacking her mother, killing Usagi.

"Believe in good...."

Naru started to remember all the good in life. All the nice things she had done. And she remembered the sacrifice Usagi had made for her. I can't let it end this way, Naru thought. I will not do evil. "You hear me, I will not do evil!!"

The shadows around her were suddenly smashed into oblivion. The ginzuishou was no longer dark, and Naru was firmly in control. Mettalia was shocked as Naru reformed around the body of the crystal.

"What...But how!!"

"Usagi... Help me... HELP ME DESTROY THIS EVIL!!!"Suddenly the ghost of Usagi appeared next to Naru. "It's all right, I'm here, Naru-chan!!"

"Thank you, Usagi..." Now with the help of Usagi, Naru is able to focus the power of ginzuisjhou into an energy ball and throws it towards Metalia. "Prepare to die!!!!"

"What... NO!!!" Mettalia tries to block the ball, but the combined strength of the two ginzuisjhou prove too much for her defenses. She is surrounded by the ball, and has every inch of her body eaten up by the ball. Naru sighs as she and Usagi are surrounded by the remaining energy of the ginzuisjhou. Naru remains conscious as they fly through the amazing energy of the crystal.

In the middle of the energy is a lone figure, a figure in a dress. "Who are you..."

"I'm a friend..."

"You're the one that saved me..."

"Yes... and you saved us..."

"Your... Your..." but Naru couldn't finish her sentence. She was starting to fade away.

"Don't worry about us, we'll be all right. Here, please keep this as a token of our appreciation "

Naru held her hand out, and received a broach from the mysterious lady. Then the world became all black.

"Usako..."

"Usgai-chan.."

Uhh... that's Mamoru and Ami-chan.

"Usako!!!" Mamoru immediately wrapped his arms around his girlfriend. Usagi exhausted, began to look around. She was home, and Naru was safe.

"Are you all right?" Ami asked her friend.

"I'm fine... Naru, are you okay?"

"I'm fine.." Naru replied as she began to recover from her experience. She looked at her hand and saw that she had the broach that the mysterious lady had given her.

"Naru... Thanks..." Usagi said as she went over to hug her hurt friend.

"..Usagi..." Naru managed to laugh between gasps of pain. Again she looked over at the broach, inside was a crystal, a pure white crystal. Usagi looked up at Naru's face and saw a big smile on it. She too looked at the crystal and knew what it meant. And together the two of them laughed for the next couple of hours.
