Christine look around the room, all her most prized possessions had been sent to earth, and her library was so bare. It was almost impossible to believe that just over a week had passed since Queen Serenity had arrived at her home with the five princesses in toe. Now she crossed to the same balcony she had spent many a summer night reading. Sighing she gazed out over her barren lands and ghost towns, wishing slightly that she could avoid this little encounter. "Queen Apollo?"

Peaking in side the room from the balcony, Christine spotted Hotaru standing in he doorway. "Yes?"

"There is someone to see you, he will not leave without saying goodbye to you." She turned and left, expecting Christine to follow. Christine did, and she was led out of the castle and onto the veranda, where the Sailor Soldiers were going to teleport the few remaining people to the moon. Out side of the circle of Sailor Soldiers stood a man.

"Vincent, you should have left already." Vincent shook his head and walked towards her. He pulled a small golden chain out of his pocket and held it up to her. The chain had a small golden heart on it; the heart had small keyhole indented on it. Reaching out Vincent clasp the chain round her neck.

"I have the key to open this locket. To find out what is on the inside you have to survive this." Vincent said and then kissed her lips. Turning he joined the Sailor Soldiers.

"Sailor Soldier Teleport!" They called out and then they were gone. Sighing she turned from were her fellow scouts had stood and began walking towards the wooded area of her planet. She touched the small crystal tear that appeared on her forehead as her Tiara disappeared.

Her eye’s slipped closed and she could see the Sailor Soldiers.

"Sailor Moon," Sailor moon turned as someone called her name. Prince Endymion stepped forward to touch her face. "My sister is strong. She’ll never give up, and you will see that she will return to us one day."

"Oh, Endymion, if only I had one last chance to tell her how much I look up to her." Sailor Moon said into Endymion’s chest as she gripped his body in a hug.

~ But my dear Serenity, I do. I trust you to look after my brother, he is quiet taken with you, young Princess. Tell him and my mother that I love them very much. Thank you my princess. ~ "Christine…" Sailor Moon gasped.

Suddenly the other scouts gasped. Brilliant lights overtook their foreheads, the light changed colors and focused on the center of their heads and became jewels. After a minute a gold band burst from the jewel and formed a tiara, just like Sailor Moon’s. They looked at each other in amazement.

"The reason why is because my band was given to me by someone who loved me. You will earn yours in time." Christine’s words echoed through the air. Then, without a word, they bowed their heads and thanked Christine as well as pRayed for her safety.

Sailor Arith’s eyes opened and she could no longer hear or see the Sailor Soldiers and Endymion and his Generals. She began walking through the forest and hoped that she complete her mission before she perished.

"Arith!" A voice called out and Sailor Arith whipped around, instantly on guard. Fantasia whipped downed from the trees and stopped beside her.

"Fantasia! You should have gone in the transport." Fantasia shook her delicate head and bent down on one knee.

"Let’s ride." Fantasia said and Sailor Arith climbed onto her back. Fantasia stood and began to flap the golden wings that stuck out of her back. After a minute the two were way above the tree’s and soaring towards the area that Christine had found earlier.

"Fantasia, when did you grow wings?"

"When I was gathering animals. I found them very useful. By the way, when were you planing on changing Luna and Artimus into humans again?"

"Never. I must save my energy for me battle ahead. But they have been officially dubbed the royal guardians. They will watch over Sailor Moon and her royal court in my absence." Arith sighed and her Sailor uniform began to change into her long slim gown, the white gown that fit her figure perfectly down to her hips and then fell down and straight out.

Fantasia faltered as they burst from under the trees and out into a bright red light, which blinded the both of them. Christine’s arm came up to block the bright light and gasped as she spotted the five tall spire’s of the dark gates.

Christine had Fantasia touch down near the center to the gates. She dismounted and then turned to her friend, "Time for you to leave now Fantasia. I must do this on my own."

"I would not miss this for the world." Fantasia said. Christine nodded and glanced around. Slowly she began to gather her energy. Her eyes slipped closed and she began to pray. Then, as if a chant she’d said hundreds of times before, she began to speak aloud to all the sailor solders.

"Sailor Solders," Sailor Moon and her court, including Endymion, all paused as Christine’s voice filled their heads for the second time that night. Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn looked at each other, and then Neptune and Uranus glanced at each other and at Queen Serenity and then to Zeus. "Please all of you, I need you to lend me your strength to help me defeat this evil." All of them formed circles and began the process of gathering their powers.

The lights of all the solders began to gather at the top of Christine’s staff. There was a flash and then power began to flow up from her staff to the stars. All the solders could see it and watched as the light began to fade. Christine began to tremble as the power rip, her dress and then her body, apart. Her eyes flew open and she half closed them as she used the last of her strength to close the dark gates. "Crystal Tear! Close these gates and help me protect my friends!"
