She was dying. She could feel her soul leaving her body. The bright light was just within her reach until she was pulled back. "I don't think so Venus" said Saturn. "It is not my duty to kill you, it is that of Serenity's" she continued. Venus was broken, battered, and bruised. She had no time to react when Saturn had unleashed her power. She could only stand there mindlessly as the energy scorched her fuku and her skin. Mercury stared in horror as her friend was engulfed by cackling energy. "I'm not strong enough" whispered Mercury as she slid to the ground. "It is your turn now" said Saturn. Her voice was dead-like. It was if Saturn was a zombie and held no emotion. "I can't do it" said Mercury. "You will pay the price for your betrayal" said Saturn. "I didn't mean it! I didn't know what I was doing!" shouted Mercury as tears poured down her face. "You must make amends for your mistakes" said Saturn. "How?" hiccupped Mercury, she was choking on her own sobs. "Ask her yourself" said Saturn before she snapped her fingers. Mercury disappeared and reappeared in front of Serena.

Jupiter landed smack into a wall that had materialized before her. She heard her bones cracking and thanked the gods that she hadn't died on impact. "As if I would free you from your punishment by death" said Neptune. "My orders were to rough you up and I have" she continued. Mars was beginning to wake up and looked wearily around. Her head felt awful and she felt like a truck had hit her. "My, my, look who decided to join the fun" said Neptune. "Don't fight her! She's too powerful" said Jupiter hoarsely. "I can defeat her!" yelled Mars. "Mars Scorching Heat Surround!!" yelled Mars. The flames danced wildly as they headed straight for Neptune. Neptune only smiled and conjured up some energy of her own. She outstretched her arms to the sky and yelled "Neptune Tidal Wave!". Mars was shocked when a tidal wave erupted from the ground and consumed her attack. "Water will always beat fire" said Neptune as the wave headed straight for Mars. Mars screamed as the water overtook her. "Don't worry, I won't let you drown, but lets see how long you can hold your breath" said Neptune with a laugh.

Mercury stared at the floor. She dematerialized and no longer was Sailor Mercury standing there but Ami Mizuno. "What is she doing?" whispered Lucifer to his wife. "She's surrendering" whispered Queen Serenity back. Ami gazed at her Mercury stick before placing it in front of Serena. "You're a traitor! How do you support this insolent child!" yelled Luna. Her words went unheard from Ami as the tears fell from Ami's eyes. "I, Ami Mizuno of the Mercurian Clan, have come to beg for forgiveness from Princess Serenity, my one and only future queen" said Mercury. "I'm not believing my ears" said Andrew. "Is she apologizing?" asked Damien. " I do believe so" said Siena with a smile. Serena gazed at the crying Ami. She knelt down and pulled her long lost friend into her embrace. "I don't get it, didn't she betray her?" asked Andrew. "Yes, but Mercurians and Lunarians always shared a special bond and those two have it" said Queen Serenity. "Besides Ami looks honest to me, she was just lead down the wrong path" said Siena. "So, will the others be forgiven?" asked Blade. "Not in a million years" said Serena with a cold tone.

Endymion just stood there as he saw his future self eaten alive. "She can't do that to me! I'm the ruler of Earth! Not her!" yelled Endymion. "Of course you are, it isn't going to happen like that! You and I will rule side by side" said Pluto as she tried to comfort him. "You two still don't get it" said Uranus. The once memories faded before their eyes and they were back in the room that they started in. "You have seen the horrors of your betrayal, even your own demise, and yet you still stand here and think you will win" said Uranus angrily. "The future can be altered" said Pluto. "I guess you haven't gazed into the future lately, the future has already changed" said Uranus before she waved her hand in front of her. The room was now replaced with an image of the true future. No Dark Moon Family or impending doom, just peace. Neo Queen Serenity was happily married to King Andrew with two children including Rini. Laughter filled the air as King Andrew pulled his wife into his embrace and kissed her lovingly. Sailor Mercury smiled at the couple as she held a baby girl in her arms. The insignia of Mercury glowed brightly on the child's head when her father kissed her mother's cheek. "She has united with a demon" growled Endymion. "I knew she was traitor from the start!" he continued. "Silence!" yelled Haruka. The scene changed and Earth's people with their smiling faces could be seen standing at the castle gates. "Hooray for Queen Serenity and Prince Andrew!" yelled the people of Earth.

"That is not the future!" yelled Pluto. "It can still be changed!" she continued. "You're right, it can" said Uranus. "So, why don't you change it in your next battle" said Uranus before she disappeared. "You wait you little bitch, I will rule Earth and no one will stop me" said Endymion.
