Episode Eighteen
"The Final Battle"

     Serena dashed into the throne room. She saw the other scouts gathering
together and she joined them.
     "Okay...what now?" she asked.
     Amy glanced at her computer. She was ferociously tapping at the keys,
attempting to come up with an answer. Suddenly, she gasped.
     "What?" Lita immediately asked.
     "All this time, we thought we were in some sort of after-life. You
know,
like
heaven. And people we knew in the Silver Millenium were coming to join us."
Amy
said.
     "Well aren't we?" Mina asked.
     Amy looked up and shook her head. "No. The year is 3000. We've been
transported into the future!"
     Serena's mouth fell open. Raye gasped. Darien was the only one who was
able to say, "3000?"
     Serena found her voice. "That means everyone else on Earth is gone.
They
died a long time ago. Mom, Dad, Sammy, Molly...they're all gone."
     "No, wait Serena. Yes, THEY'RE gone, but remember, if they were any
part
of the Silver Millenium, they'll never die. Your friends could merely be on
Earth
somewhere. Or any other planet for that matter." Amy said.
     Raye glanced up. "So where are we?"
     Amy looked around. "Apparently, we're on the moon. Serena, Darien, this
is
your palace."
     Serena looked around. She smiled a little, in spite of the grim
situation. "Our
home." she said and looked at Darien. He smiled and held her close to him.
     "We all have special rooms that belong to each of our corresponding
planets.
Then, we also have a palace on our home planet, plus a room for Serena and
Darien." Amy continued, tapping in the computer.
     Artemis spoke up, "As Enlightening as all this is, we still are under
attack."
     This brought the scouts back to reality. "How did she get here?" Mina
asked.
     Amy shrugged. "She must've used the time portal."
     "How do we defeat her?" Darien asked.
     "I don't know." Amy said, and closed her computer. "But I do think we
should transform."
     Serena shook her head hopelessly. "I lost my powers in our last battle.
I
can't become Sailor Moon."
     "I don't have my powers either." Raye said. "I tried transforming
earlier."
     Amy looked around. The scouts shook their heads. "No powers? This does
look grim."
     Darien went over to the crowns. "Why do we use our Royal power?" he
asked.
     Serena nodded. She walked over and placed the crown on her head.
Instantly her dress encrusted with so many jewels appeared. She felt herself
becoming mature and dignified. She looked over to Darien, who had now become
an esteemed King of Earth. The scouts looked at both of them, and couldn't
stop
from bowing in repsect. Then, they went over and got their crows. As each
put
hers on, she became a regal queen of her planet. Suddenly, Luna and Artemis
bowed down to all of them. They smiled in gratitude and looked at each
other.
     "We will leave in an hour," Queen Serena said. "That will give you a
chance
to bid goodbye."
     "Yes, my queen." they said and bowed gracefully. They turned and left
the
room.
     "Well, my King, do you think we will survive?" Queen Serena asked
looking
at her true love.
     The King looked down at his bride-to-be. "There is no doubt in my mind
that
we will." he nodded, and took her arm. She smiled and they left the throne
room.
     Luna looked at Artemis. "It is amazing to see what she's become after
all
this time. She's grown up so much."
     Artemis smiled and nodded. "But she's still the same Serena. Even when
she
puts on her crown and has a whole new air of maturity, she's still Serena."

     "I love you." Amy whispered into Greg's ear. She had taken off her
crown
for a moment to give him an informal goodbye.
     "I love you, too, Amy." he said back, holding her tightly. "I wish you
didn't
have to go."
     "I'll return, my love. Then we can get married. And you will become a
king
of Mercury." she said and smiled.
     "Becoming your husband is a far greater honor, Amy." he said back and
slowly kissed her.
     Meanwhile, Mina was also saying goodbye to her love. "Melvin, I want
you
to know that I care about you deeply." she said, holding his hand.
     Melvin smiled and hugged her. "I love you, Mina. I know you thought me
a
dork before, but I promise you, I've changed."
     Mina put her finger to his lips. "I wouldn't have you any other way. No
matter what everyone else says, you and I are the perfect couple, because we
love
each other so much."
     Melvin brought her close to him. He had grown a lot and lost his
galsses. He
now looked handsome and would make a fine king. "I'm honor to become the
King
of the planet of love. Adn I'm so glad I have you to share it with."
     Mina smiled and kissed him softly. "Romeo and Juliet pale in
comparision
to
us." she whispered.
     In the Jupiter court, Lita was standing there with Andrew. "Well, I
better go.
I've been aching for a good fight." she said and grinned.
     "You've got such a wild spirit. Don't ever lose it." Andrew replied and
kissed
her hand.
     Lita blushed. "I'll miss you. Did I ever tell you that you look
like..."
     "Your old boyfriend?" Andrew said, smiling. Lita shook her head.
     "You look like you'd make a fine king. Although, we'll have to work on
that
arm strength." she joked, squeezing his upper bicep, which was surprisingly
hard.
     Andrew smile and kissed her. "I love you more than I can show." he
said.
     Raye looked at Scott. "Sweetheart, how're you handling all of this?"
she
asked him.
     Scott looked at her. He stood up and walked over to her. "It's true,
I'm
not
taking this Tanya thing totally well. But she's behind me. I thought I loved
her, but
she was only something to keep me occupied until I met you. And I'm so glad
we
met. You're the greatest thing to ever happen to me." he said and held her
close.
      Raye smiled and inhaled his scent. Then, she looked deeply into his
eyes
and said seriously, "I promise I will do everything in my power to spare
Tanya
pain." she said and kissed his cheek.
     He nodded slowly. "But do what you have to do to protect our queen." He
kissed her slowly.
     The scouts met in the throne room in an hour. Queen Serena held onto
King
Darien's hand. The scouts formed a circle and joined hands.
     "Royal Planet Power!" they shouted and were teleporte to Tanya's
location.

     She stood there, in the debris of what had once been called Earth. Her
face
hardened as she saw the scouts appear. "Well, well. It's the Failure Scouts.
However did you make it here?" she asked in her sarcastic voice.
     Queen Serena stepped towards Tanya. "Tanya, you have caused enough
pain and destruction. We demand that you now surrender to us."
     Tanya laughed in the face of the queen. This made Darien's blood boil.
"Surrender? Never!"
     Queen Raye stepped forward. "Tanya, allow the good inside you to come
forward." she shouted, hoping Tanya would listen.
     Tanya merely glared at her and spit in her face. The other queens began
to
see red.
     "I have no good. You took it when you took my sister!" Tanya yelled at
Queen Serena. However, the queen's face remained peaceful.
     "We have no wish to fight you, Tanya. But we will if we have to." Queen
Serena said.
     Tanya shot a sharp dagger at her in repsonse. Serena moved out of the
way
just in time. King Darien ran up and oulled her back. "Serena, you are not
to
fight.
It is our duty to protect you."
     Queen Serena looked at her lover. "Darien, I will fight." she said with
a
determination Darien had never seen before. He let her go.
     "That does it!" Queen Lita shouted. "Jupiter thunderstorm charge!" she
called out and several highly electrifed bolts of lightning went to Tanya.
She stood
there, expecting the attack not to have any effect on her. But A bolt hit
her
in the
knee and caused her to start bleeding black blood.
     "Oh!" she cried out, more in surprise than pain. She glared at Queen
Lita and
a hatred filled her. It also healed the wound. "Dark energy surround that
brat!" she
said. Instanly Lita was surrounded by millions of tiny bolts of electricity.
     They began to hit her. Lita ignored the pain, but it became too much
and
cried out. Queen Amy became furious.
     "Only a cold-hearted witch would allow a queen to suffer like that!"
Amy
shouted. "Mercury tidalwave splash!" Tanya was hit by a constant blow of
razor-
sharp icicles and strong water. The force threw her back and her arms were
slashed terribly. Blood becgan pouring everywehere as she grunted in pain.
Queen
Amy stopped the attack and watched to see if she would surrender. Tanya
merely
felt more bitterness and her scars healed.
     "Dark energy, teach that child a lesson!" she called out. Queen Amy was
immediately hit with ice cold water. The attack seemed to nevewr end and it
was
hard for her to breathe. Queen Raye looked over at Lita, who was still being
hit by
the thunderbolts. Her energy was failing. Raye felt a fire burn within her.
     Queen Mina was enraged. Normally, she never felt hatred, only love. But
even her planet's power of love couldn't erase the incredible feeling a
anger
inside
her. "Tanya, you've gone too far!"
     "I promised Scott I wouldn't hurt you unless necessary. But you've
crossed
the line!" Raye said.
     "And on behalf of the planet of love..."
     "And the planet of fire..."
     "WE WILL PUNISH YOU!" both Raye and Mina stood next to each other.
They had an enraged expression on their faces.
    "Mars flames burn!" Queen Raye called out.
     "Venus love-sword pierce!" Queen Mina said in repsonse.
     The combined force of both their attacks hurled Tanya to the ground.
She
made a small noise of pain before fully collasping. Her body was cut and
burned,
and she didn't appear to be breathing.
     Queen Raye walked forward, followed by the cautious Queen Mina. They
looked her over carefully. "I think we have killed her." Queen Mina said.
     But Queen Serena knew better. Both Amy and Lita were still being
attacked,
and if it didn't stop, then they would surely die.
     Suddenly, Tanya rose. Queen Mina jumped back and pulled Queen Raye
back with her. But Tanya merely pointed a finger at them. Raye was
surrounded
by
an immense fire that was constantly throwing flames at her. She screamed in
pain.
Mina was hit by dagger after dagger, which caused her to bleed severly.
     Queen Serena looked at Tanya. She laughed. Serena looked at her friends
and allies. They were quickly losing strength. There was only one thing to
do.
     "Tanya! This agony must stop now!" she cried out. She closed her eyes
and
her jewels began to come out of her dress, leaving little indents on where
they had
been. The four planet signs shone brightly, as well as the crescent moon on
her
forehead. Suddenly, the crystal in her crown went to the center of the jewel
and
they surrounded it. They began to shine brilliantly. The light blinded
Tanya,
but she
did not halt the attacks on her friends.
     "Something's missing," Serena gasped. King Darien went over to her.
     "I know what it is." he said and the earth symbol shone brightly on his
forehead. It added more power to the gems. But it still wasn't enough.
     "You'll never beat me! You'll never conquer the Imperium of Darkness!"
Tanya cried out as the force hit her. She stood strong.
     "The power of love will beat anything!" Queen Serena yelled back. King
Darien leaned over and kissed her strongly. The force of the kiss boosted
the
power and Tanya screamed in pain.
     The two didn't stop kissing. They continued to show that love can
defeat
evil by never halting their kiss. The attacks on the scouts slowly dissolved
and
vanished. Yet, Serena and Darien still didn't stop kissing. Tanya collasped
on the
ground and her life began slowly leaving her body. She cried out, "Mercy!"
     Serena broke the kiss. As quickly as the atatck had appeared, it
halted.
The
jewels went back to her dress. The symbols of the plantes slowly dimmed. Her
crescent moon went down and dissolved.
     Queen Serena walked towards Tanya. Her body was lifeless. The cuts and
bruises were prominent. But as Serena looked at her, the blood flowly freely
from
her body turned a deep shade of red.
     Then, a white light flashed and there stood a female in a long white
dress.
Her hair was long and beautiful, surrounding her porcelain features. But the
thing
Queen Serena noticed was her eyes. They were no longer a black shade, but a
beautiful hazel, clear and comforting. Tanya looked at her and slowly
knealt.
"My
queen." she whispered. "I have wronged you."
     Queen Serena eyes widened as Tanya kissed her feet, the ultimate sign
of
respect. Tanya remained looking at the floor.
     "I have allowed bitterness to eneter my body and it's evil power to
corse
through my veins. I have provoked, most justly, your wrath, and eserve
nothing
less than everlasting torture." Tanya said.
     Queen Serena spoke. Her voice was surprisingly steady. "Arise, Tanya."
she
said. Tanya slowly rose, but kept her head down. "All your trespasses are
forgiven." Serena said.
     Tanya looked up at her queen. Her face showed both joy and disbelief.
SHe
smiled a sweet smile and Serena felt compelled to hug her. Tanya laughed and
hugged her back. "It's good to be back on the right side." she said.
     Serena ended the hug and took out the Kunzite/Blue Zoisite stone. "Blue
Zoisite, come forth!" she called out.
     Instantly, Blue Zoisite appeared. She looked at her sister. "Tanya!"
she
cried
out in an informal manner. She hugged her tightly. Tanya smiled as tears of
happiness ran down her cheeks.
     "I'm home, Zoi, home to stay." she said in complete joy. Blue Zoisite
took
her hand and went to her queen.
     "My queen, you're kindness overwhelms me."  Tanya said and kissed her
cheek. Blue Zoisite smiled her appreciation and the both disappeared into
the
sotne. But instead of the big gem it had been, it shined brightly with with
light and
disappeared into her dress.
     Serena smiled. She had finally gotten the most precious stone on Earth:
the
Blue Kunzite Tanzania.
     The scouts ran to her. They smiled. "We did it." Amy said softly.
Serena
nodded.
     King Darien walked over to Serena. "My love, I cannot express my
gratitude
or affection. But I have one request to make. Awaken Earth and let the reign
of
Crystal Tokyo begin." he said.
     Queen Serena kissed his cheek. "Of course." she said and the crystal
floated
to the palm of her hand.
     As the other queens watched in pride, they couldn't help but remember
the
klutz Serena had been only a month earlier. She had grown up so much. While
she
was still the same Serena, she was also their queen. They trusted her and
never
questioned her rulings. They would always be friends, but now, Serena had
taken
on a new repsonsibilty. She had now become the Queen of Crystal Tokyo, and
with that came a new maturity. Darien watched with love in his eyes as
Serena
preformed her destiny.
     "Moon Crystal Healing Power!" she called out and instantly the people
of
Earth woke up.
     And the rest is history.....or should I say destiny?
