Celestial Sailor Mars looked at her tired and unconscious friend. 
She remembered the fateful day that it changed for her Princess. 
Haruka called and said that Mudious was going to trigger the 
sleeping Soldier of Nature. As they were running to where Mudious 
was, Usagi felt someone inside tell her the following:

"Sailor Moon, Princess of the Sun and the Moon, you must be there 
when Mudious tries to trigger the sleeping Soldier of Nature, 
because you are part of the master plan of reviving the Soldier 
of Nature!" 

A voice of a woman told Usagi.

After that, point Usagi transformed into Solar Sailor Moon. 
Once there, we watched as Mudious was looking for someone to be 
a target to try to get Sailor Earth to awaken. Then when he saw 
Solar Sailor Moon, Naru said to not to do it to try to trigger 
her awake. He did not heed her warnings. Mudious made his sword 
appeared. Rei watched as the sword coming at a fast pace in the 
air aimed correctly for her heart.

"Move Usagi!" 

Celestial Sailor Mars spoke, 

"You are going to be struck by that sword!"

Usagi did not move. She stood there paralyzed and could not move 
or told inside her head that "She" should not move for any reason. 
"Move!" everyone shouted.

She remained unchanged. Then the sword hit her costume and cut 
it, sending her broach to fall off and hit the ground somewhere 
nearby. The sword moved deeper breaching her skin going even deeper 
into her flesh also cutting some of her ribs. The sword penetrated 
her chest cavity and piercing her heart and almost cutting it 
entirely in two, but it did not. Solar Sailor Moon fell and 
screamed in pain, blacked out and hit the ground and died. 
Everyone was shocked that Usagi did not move. The Soldiers 
screamed in horror and great sorrow, only to drown out by Naru's 
cries when Usagi died just for her to awaken as Sailor Earth. 
After defeating the Dark Youmas, Celestial Sailor Earth looked 
upon the girl who took the sword so that destiny would fulfill. 
Celestial Sailor Earth just stood there in tears realizing that 
what "that girl did" was the greatest love anyone could have 
given to someone else. Celestial Sailor Earth pulled out the 
Sword that pierced her heart. She put her finger on Usagi's heart 
and sewed it up with her healing power. Once her heart became 
like new again, a scar appeared where the sword had been. There 
were some small words on her scar. They read:

"SCARRED BY DESTINY"

Scarred by destiny, what kind of saying was that? After that 
Celestial Sailor Earth, touched Usagi's heart and it started to 
beat again. She also healed her broken ribs and sealed the outer 
wounds also leaving a scar. Celestial Sailor Earth put back on 
Usagi's chest her most valued possession, Her Broach. The broach 
opened and the transformation broken by the Sword restored again.

After that day, Rei never forgot about what happened to her 
friend. Now thinking back, Rei felt guilty that Usagi hid her 
pain. Not only that, but for now on, her courage and strength would 
be tested by that scar on her heart. Her strength gave way because 
it left her. Slowly Usagi again woke. She felt wore out and tired. 
On her face, she looked like she had not slept well in weeks. 
Usagi looked around and noticed that she was in the arms of 
Tuxedo Kamen and that she was no longer transformed as 
Solar Sailor Moon.

"What happened?" 

Usagi asked.

"You fainted. You ran out of strength." 

Celestial Sailor Mars answered her.

"I feel so exhausted." 

Usagi replied, 

"It hurts again, but not as bad as before." 

Usagi spoke in a calm, but weak voice.

"Will you be okay?" 

Celestial Sailors Mars asked.

"I think so. Tuxedo Kamen please set me down." 

Usagi spoke as Tuxedo Kamen set her on the ground.

"So, are you ready to fight me?" 

The Darkness Master asked her.

"No matter how many hardships I face, I will light up the Earth 
with all my might!" 

Usagi spoke as a tear fell from her eye and hit her broach. 
Her broach reacted and received the tear. The broach flashed and 
covered Usagi in a bright yellow light and when it died down, 
there stood Solar Sailor Moon in Usagi's place.

"I will destroy you with my light!" 

Solar Sailor Moon spoke with new determination. The bright 
yellow light also seemed to have energized her.

Solar Sailor Moon put her hands out as bright yellow light 
came from them. Her friends were amazed that she found the 
strength that she needed. Her heart still caused her pain, 
but she ignored it. In addition, continued to battle the 
Darkness Master. Sailor Sun and Sailor Solar saw her sister 
and they knew her newfound strength would not last. Sailor 
Sun and Sailor Solar united with their sisters.

"Nissha and Taiyo?" 

Solar Sailor Moon questioned them.

"You will never be alone to endure your pain in your heart! 
We will supply our strength on you! Sun Celestial Power!" 

Sailor Sun cried.

"Solar Celestial Power!" 

Sailor Solar cried.

"I can feel it! Your powers, they are recharging my body!" 

Solar Sailor Moon spoke as the powers entered her body. Solar 
Sailor Moon concentrated so hard that her Tiara disappeared 
and replaced with the Moon symbol that was underneath. Then 
she started transforming again into the Sun Princess, 
Princess Serenity. Everyone was shocked. Princess Serenity 
was wearing a yellow dress with white accents.

"I will light up this town with my light!" 

Princess Serenity spoke with even more determination! Princess 
Serenity felt like she started to lose her strength.

"Please just a little longer! Let me beat him first!" 

She thought to herself.

"We got to help her!" 

Sailor Sun spoke to her sister.

Will they help her? Find out next time.
