Princess Sailor Moon gazes at the sky. "I..." she begins, voice full of emotion, "destroyed the planet!" The other senshi are shocked. "The planet..." repeats Jupiter. Princess Sailor Moon readies her harp again and starts to strum another melody, once again shining with that golden light. As they listen to the sad song, the other senshi gaze on with mixed feelings on their faces. Mercury looks pained, Mars is clearly shocked, Jupiter looks concerned, and Venus looks like this was what she expected all along.

Princess Sailor Moon plays and remembers the final moments of the kingdoms of the Past. Serenity and Endymion stand together, looking at something with concern and anger, when Serenity turns to the side. Beside her stands someone with a sword outstretched. Seeing this, Endymion reacts, running in front of Serenity just as the sword is brought down. It slashes him in the back and with a cry of pain, Endymion falls to the ground. Shocked, Serenity kneels at his side. "Endymion!" she cries, starting to glow white. The light grows and with an anguished scream, it engulfs both the moon and the Earth. Amongst the ruins, Serenity lies next to her fallen Prince, holding his hand.

"***" Mamoru winces. "Usagi!" he thinks.

"Princess," calls out Venus softly.

"Don't come any closer," commands Princess Sailor Moon.

The senshi stop in their tracks.

Princess Sailor Moon starts to glow again, and as the sounds of her harp accelerate into a grand series of strums, the light grows, engulfing her and spiriting her away with a shower of light.

"Endymion," she intones, looking up at the orange moon.

Wind blowing her hair about, she turns and surveys the city around her. "As I thought, even though we're reborn, we can't be together on this planet." Sadly, she raises her harp to her shoulder and starts to play. The familiar glow shines brightly, engulfing everything. When it fades, Princess Sailor Moon stands against a backdrop of white, harp resting at her hip though we still hear the harp's sounds. Footsteps can be heard, and stepping before her is Usagi. They stand staring at each other, neither one saying a word.

"Me neither," says Luna, "It's unbelievable that that's what happened."

We see Endymion and Serenity together, holding hands even in death.

"Endymion's death was the trigger," Luna says.

Rei sits down. "But, even now, it's been like that," she says,

"When the power of the Illusionary Silver Crystal awakened, it was those times that Usagi's feelings became strong."

"From that time," says Rei, "the enemy became stronger, too."

Flashback: Jupiter attacks the rock-like youma with a lighting attack, but it simply absorbs the attack. Jupiter drops her hands in surprise.
 

Makoto sits down on the couch. "Oh, man," she says, "And I thought we would just have to defeat the enemy."

Luna sighs.

Minako walks alone, talking to Artemis, who's in her bag. "The Princess and Prince's love was ominous, that is...the existence of the Princess brought doom to this planet, right?"

Artemis responds, "Metalia's power and the Illusionary Silver Crystal's power were both the same."

"And now, the same thing will happen again," she says.

Artemis nods.

Minako looks down at him. "But, we've got to stop it!" she says. "We're here for that reason. To protect the Princess and to ensure the tragedy of the Past does not repeat." She looks up determinedly.

Usagi walks towards her. "Somehow, it's such a sad sound," comments Usagi. "Mamoru..." she pauses and corrects herself, "Endymion. Are you thinking of him?"

"No matter how many times I'm reincarnated," Princess Sailor Moon replies, "I can't be with Endymion." She stops playing and brings her harp down. "Long ago, when he was born on the Earth, I was forever thinking of him, but..." Princess Sailor Moon has a faraway look in her eye, "What I've been able to decide since the Past is that that fact won't change."

"That may not be true!" insists Usagi, "But, I was able to meet him! Mamoru! It's been great! Even though people keep saying it's no good." She pauses, smiling a little. "Actually, in the beginning it wasn’t that great….but..."

"He was the worst," Usagi says, "But Tuxedo Kamen wasn't that way."

Flashback: Jadeite throws a crystal shard at Sailor Moon. Luna yells out a warning to her. "I didn't know his identity, but I was attracted to him." Sailor Moon turns around to see the shard flying towards her. With a flourish of his cape, Tuxedo Kamen leaps into action and knocks Sailor Moon out of the way of the shard, which lands in the ground. As Tuxedo Kamen leaves, Sailor Moon calls after him. "Thank you for saving me! Um...who are you?" He turns around and holds his cape dramatically over his face. "Tuxedo Kamen," he says, and with a flourish, continues his exit. "Tuxedo Kamen?" repeats Sailor Moon. "How weird..." She gets a dreamy look in her eye. "But, somehow he's so cool!"

Flashback: Sailor Moon is pulling the remnants of a youma tentacle off of her legs. "Hurry!" cries Tuxedo Kamen, running to her and holding out his hand to help her up. The portal is closing quickly. "Hurry!" urges Mercury from the other side. Tuxedo Kamen takes Sailor Moon by the shoulders, causing her to glance at his hands. "Jump!" he yells, and the two leap through the portal back to the normal world.

Flashback: "Why did you tell everyone about the Illusionary Silver Crystal?" asks Sailor Moon. "I don't have powers like the rest of you," replies Tuxedo Kamen. "But, no matter what, I wanted to get the Illusionary Silver Crystal." "Why?!" asks Sailor Moon. "In order...to find out what I am," he tells her.
