Queen Beryl was at the front of her grand army, heavy with the unborn child in her womb. It was only a matter of days before the new terror would be born, she the mother to hell. She was a bit surprised to see so many people defending the small kingdom, but smiled. Her victory was inevitable.

What she couldn't believe, was Endymion standing in the front of this army, his wife's hand on his arm. They glared at her in defiant hatered, unphased by the death of their friends. "Why cannot I not rid myself of her? Endymion, will you still refuse to join me once she too has been taken from you?" Endymion laughed, clutching his sides so hard that everyone thought he had gone insane.

"Don't insult me, Beryl. You and I both know I could never find myself in your presence. Do you still not realize who I am, who we both are?" he sneered, revealing his golden aura.

Beryl had no knowledge of who he was, but the entity above her did, shrieking in fear and rage. "You died!"

"Did I?"

"Who are you?" Beryl demanded.

"Why would I tell a whore who'd sell herself to the lowest bidder?" He heard the army chuckle behind him, having the desired affect. Enraged, she unleashed her army, screaming for Endymion to die.

Serenity watched Endymion give his life, taking out half the demons before Metallia hit him in a single blast. Before he could die, Endymion vanished, following the same path as his guards and her inner senshi. 'Apollo...'

'It is done,' he agreed, choosing to sleep once more. In the future he would gain yet another name; did it really matter?

Serenity sensed her father close by, waiting until the final moment before he would make his entrance. As Sailor Moon, she fought the enemy, never stopping until all those that fought were dead. Demons surrounded her, waiting for the final command. A black light sped towards them, surrounding Serenity before Saturn appeared.

"What?" Beryl shrieked.

"Do it, Serenity. There is no one left but you and I."

"I'm sorry," she whispered.

"No, never apologize for what you've done these past few days. You've reminded me of the responsibilities that I must at times carry out and no one here has truly died." Calling forth his glaive, the weapon began to spin, the Death God ascended and hovered above the battle field.

Sailor Moon began to glow a brillant silver, her uniform changing into a beautiful white dress with golden crescent moons on the neck line. Her hair flew free, blowing widly as hurricane winds began to build. In a single blast from father and daughter, the demon army vanished, leaving only Beryl and Metallia.

"COSMIC POWER!" Serenity screamed, meeting the wave of darkness with her own power. Saturn waited, watching the struggle between the light and the darkness. His daughter trembled, her energy fading too fast. With a sigh, he dropped his glaive, watching the sphere race through the Terran system, killing everything in its path. With it would come re-birth, but when was not as certain as the gift Serenity had given to her friends and those that had fought against the Negaverse.

Beryl could not fight against the God of Death and Goddess of the Moon combined. She too would be re-born, and Serenity could only pray that the next time she could stop her before such destruction would repeat itself. Lying on the ground, she took deep breaths, the light fading from her gray eyes. Saturn lowered himself beside her, stroking her hair gently. "I have done as you asked."

Serenity gave him a soft smile, curling close. "I only wish that you could be my father in the future."

"Sleep, child. Your desire shall be granted."

"Can I be a normal girl?" She whispered, already drifting far away. Luna and Artemis, shielded from Saturn's power, came running out of the castle, staring sadly at their Princess. Gently the God of Death lifted her into his arms, heading for the time gates. Setsuna was already waiting, her eyes far wiser than the age she appeared.

"A home has already been set up." As they spoke, Serenity shrank to the size of six months, sleeping happily in her father's arms. "I had intended on giving her to another family, but I think she'll be happier this way."

"Thank you. Tell Selinity I'll return to her after Serenity's final war is finished. "I will never allow her to fight alone."

As he started to head for the time portal, he glanced at the time senshi, "One day I will release you from the curse of these gates, Setsuna."

She gave him a sad smile, closing the time gate forever behind them. "Perhaps," she whispered. Even as the guardian of time, Pluto was unable to see that far into the future, the final war depending on the shoulder of one girl. "Serenity child, I wish things could be different."

Selinity awoke in a warm bed, but something was wrong. Why was everything so quiet? Leaving her room, she found herself in a beautiful garden, golden pillars reaching for the sky. Sitting on a throne was a man, another standing by his side. They looked sad, but greeted her with a warm smile. "Welcome Serenity. I am Hyperion, your mother's father."

"How..."

"Saturn could not spare your life if you had remained," the man on the throne said. "Until their final path has been walked, you will be kept safe here."

"Lunaria's gone?" she gasped, sinking to the marble floor.

"Serenity and Hotaru are the last of the Lunarian and Saturian race," Zeus answered sadly. "One day they will return here, but for now you must be patient."

"Can't I go to them?"

"No," a woman said, coming up behind her husband. "Your part is finally over, Selinity."

Hera glided to the trembling woman, gently taking her hand. "Come, let me help you forget until they return. Learn the ways of the Olympians. Are you not the daughter of a Goddess yourself?"

Selinity had no choice but to obey Hera, following the beautiful woman through places no mortal has ever seen. 'Saturn...'

'I will return,' he promised, showering her with all the love he possessed. Before he parted, he gave her an image of Serenity sleeping in a strange contraption, an innocent smile on her cute face. 'She must be protected.'

'I can wait,' Selinity said, finally able to greet the sun with a smile of her own. Hera gasped, seeing the features of Selinity's mother so clearly at that moment.

"You look just like her," she said in awe.

"I'm afraid I've been Queen so long, that I've forgotten what it's like to have fun." Hera laughed, more than happy to teach the carefree woman.

"Be thankful for Serenity's interference. Had you called forth the power of the Silver Crystal, you would have died."

Selinity nodded, accepting her fate.

Serenity's wish had been to give all the humans a second chance, including the ones that had been corrupted by Beryl's influence. She had wanted everyone to have normal lives, but couldn't guarantee that they would be without pain. Known only to Saturn before they gave their lives, the inner Queens had combined all their power and strength into making a sword of stone, designed to protect the light of hope. Setsuna, slowly faded with time, forgotten by even the legends.

Saturn walked through the halls of his new home, surprised at how much things had changed. Placing Serenity in a small crib, he sang to her, keeping her calm as she slept. He wondered where Hotaru had been sent, and one day would find and re-claim his other child. Hidden deep within her soul was the power he hoped would never awaken.

"For now, your name is no longer Serenity, but Usagi Tuskino," he whispered. Serenity had been destined to live with another couple, but Saturn couldn't bare to loose what little remained in his life. Setsuna had left him with enough money to last him several centuries, adding to the amount he already had and never used. Apparently the time senshi had no need of money herself.
