Queen Serenity felt her body weakening, but it seemed like her daughter’s words were the ones breaking her, cutting her skin and making her bleed all over her beautiful white dress. Her long silver hair became in contact with the blood and the ends of it started to dye red too quickly.

She felt those tender hands against her shoulders, holding her closer, helping her stay on her feet. The pain on her back from the wounds the Shitennou had caused her seemed so distant, so far away... Suddenly the anger started washing away with the sound of her daughter’s voice. She spoke of second chances and love and family. Those things that she had once believe in and fought for. Those things she had taught her own daughter. All those things that had proven to be untrue when the battles started. Yes, she had wanted her daughter to be with her true love, Endymion. But what had that costed them? Everything!

Princess Serenity said she was happy in this life. Could that be possible? She looked so convinced of it and maybe Queen Serenity could see it in those blue eyes.

She was about to speak when suddenly all she could see was red. Pain invaded her body from her torso. A sharp pain that took over her so quickly. Her eyes looked down and saw her body had been almost cut in half and her mind couldn’t believe it. If it wasn’t for the pain, she would have believed that image was someone’s body... not hers. The red blood  poured down her stomach and her legs failed her as she dropped on her knees.

Her eyes focused on the one that hurt her and her hands fired powerful waves of energy at him. Suddenly the power stopped flowing, as the red blood turned into a dark thick liquid that stank of death. It was putrid as it had been locked inside that body for centuries. The petroleum-like substance kept falling like a waterfall from her wound until the Queen became absolutely pale and collapsed on the floor. A mixture of blood and dark liquid covered what had once been the white image of kindness and love.

The moment her heart stop beating, her body started turning into thin dust. The process was fast and soon the body with the blood and the disgusting substance were nothing but a pile of gray and silver dust. A moment later this dust flew like smoke into the air, glowing full of power. The magical glow found it’s way into Kousagi’s body and the dust dropped back on the floor.

The Queen was gone, and it looked like her power had been absorbed by Kousagi, but the putrid smell never left that room.

Everything around them was just noise that she was ignoring. Whatever the tall shitennou said, Queen Serenity did not hear and whatever was happening to that senshi that had Jadeite preoccupied she did not care. All that mattered was her daughter.

‘‘ I’ve waited centuries for you.’‘ She whispered as her hand touched Sailor Moon’s cheek. ‘‘ I waited after everything was gone because I knew you had to be alive somewhere. Your pure and gentle soul couldn’t have just vanished like that.’‘ Her silver eyes looked deep inside her daughter’s and could not understand why she wasn’t happy to see her. Why did she seem angry and scared? Hadn’t Serenity been waiting for her as well? Didn’t her daughter miss the moon and the sight of that glitter covered sky? The beauty of their gardens and the songs of their people...

Suddenly she was brought back to that room as she felt wet finger wrapping around her ankle. Queen Serenity screamed in anger as she looked down and saw the image of a girl covered in blood. Was this Jupiter’s true identity? What had happened to her and why she covered in blood? The Queen didn’t care and did not stop to wonder what had happened.  ‘‘ How dare you?’‘ She yelled as she unleashed a wave of energy that sent Jupiter across the room, far away from her.

This attack distracted her from what was coming from behind, as suddenly something sharp stabbed her in the back. She looked and saw that Kunzite had been the one to hurt her, and as she was about to attack him as well and end his life when a bright light filled the room.

Who stood in front of her was the beautiful princess she remembered, the one one she had loved with devotion and had waiter for. But the way Princess Serenity spoke and the expression of her face...

Tears mixed with anger and sadness filled her eyes, as the pink stake was still penetrating her back and blood tainted her white dress. It hurt a lot but she could only focus on the Princess’ face. ‘‘ I’ve done what I had to do for you, Serenity. They can’t protect you, they have failed and betrayed you in the past! Only I can protect you and together we can avenge those who have hurt and destroyed us!’‘ The Queen grabbed her shoulder with her other hand as she hunched from the pain, trying to get closer to her daughter. How could her own daughter not want the same? How could she stand in the room as them without wanting to kill them?

Her eyes were focused on that little girl’s disfigured face; but what Queen Serenity wanted to kill was not the girl but whatever was inside of her. She could sense the darkness inside of her, that dark power that had destroyed what was left of her beloved Kingdom and killing whatever small hope she had left of being reunited with her beautiful daughter.

Her thin finger were digging into the skin, leaving red and purple marks as she kept pressing as hard as she could against the throat. Ignoring those around her that became even more desperate by her actions and one of them even jumping on top of her trying to stop her.

Queen Serenity started yelling hysterically, it was a horrible and piercing noise. The girl’s face was turning blue and Queen Serenity removed one of her hands from the throat to try to remove the young Shitennou was on top of her. She kept trying to hit him with her elbow so she would release her when they were both hit by something or someone that sent them flying against the walls.

It took her a second to realize what had happened as she was on the floor next to Jadeite. Her eyes looked for the senshi that had just pushed them and from her hands emerged bolts of silver energy that started flying against everything and everyone. Destroying the room they were in, making sure she hit both of the shitennou but specially that hideous senshi. Queen Serenity wanted to kill Jupiter first.

That’s when the queen heard that voice, a familiar and sweet voice that made her heart jump and her attack stop. But it was impossible, she had watched her daughter died so long ago...

‘‘ Serenity...’‘ She whispered when she finally saw that girl that resembled her daughter so much. Those beautiful blue eyes and that long hair. ‘‘ My sweet sweet daughter, is it really you?’‘ Queen Serenity started walking towards Sailor Moon, raising her hands to touch that face she had so many dreams about.

No one else matters, not Sailor Jupiter, those pathetic Shitennou or even that monstrous thing inside that girl’s lifeless body.

Her white hair loosened with the impact and the longs strands fell across her back and shoulders, unkempt and disorganized. This only lasted for a few seconds before power flooded her body, lifting her hair and transforming her clothes into what had once been her royal dress. As her anger grew, Queen Serenity felt the power that had shrunk to nothing in her menial life on this awful planet awaken, burning through her veins with her hate.

‘‘Lies! You were all weak and  pathetic and that gave Metallia the energy she needed to destroy my Kingdom!' She snarled at the Jovian senshi, furious. "You were to protect mt daughter, and instead you let her die! You let my people be slaughtered, until we were barely holding on and then... that creature, worse than even Metallia, that destroyed everything that was left..." She shook with anger, remembering the horrible, awful end to everything around her. "And then I woke up in this pathetic life with all of you just enjoying yourselves after all the pain you caused?! You don't deserve a new life!"

Her eyes focused on Kunzite who had moved so quickly to stand guard, what was beyond that hall? But before she could find out Jupiter had grabbed her and pushed her to the door of the apartment. Queen Serenity screamed and when she had the chance she turned around and blasted Sailor Jupiter away from her.

Queen Serenity did not hear Usagi approaching them, focused as she was on Kunzite and that door he was protecting. She felt a familiar energy coming from, something that reminded her of her own home and family but there was a strong dark power behind it.

‘‘Get out of my way!’‘ Queen Serenity said as she motioned her hand towards Kunzite, releasing a wave of energy that would push the man against a wall. Then she threw a bolt of silver energy towards Jadeite so he wouldn't even try to get in her way as she stalked towards that door.

She slammed it open and saw a little girl sleeping on the bed. But Queen Serenity did not see how much this girl resembled her own daughter, all she could feel was what was inside of her body. This dark energy... the same dark energy that had swallowed whatever was left of her world.

‘‘YOU!’‘ She screamed before she leapt on top of the girl and wrapped her thin fingers around her throat.

The door slamming on her face wasn’t a big deal, she had seen that happen to her when she started talking about the insurance she was selling. But this time she didn’t have a chance to speak, the other person saw her and immediately closed the door. Yuzuki would have called it a day and would have gone home to sleep for twelve hours straight if those ice blue piercing eyes hadn’t looked so familiar. And then everything happened so fast, she didn’t have time to realize what was happening.

The door opened again and this tall man, who she remembered as one of Prince Endymion’s generals, Kunzite... and that man with those eyes behind him... They had caused her daughter’s death and the destruction of her beautiful kingdom! And he spoke to her so charmingly?! ‘‘ Jupiter?’‘ One of the senshi that had failed to protect her daughter.

Her blood started boiling and all this anger and hatred that had been sleep inside of her as she lived this pathetic life started coming back at her. The images of death and destruction, those useless generals that turned against her kingdom following that horrible witch. Those week senshi that were supposed to protect and defend her wonderful daughter and failed miserably at their mission.  They were here and they seemed to know each other and live happy lives?

With the apartment’s door open she could see inside, a beautiful place carefully decorated. She could also the table and the delicious treats they were having. Her pale eyes opened wide and filled with anger, how dare them?! ‘‘ What is this?!’‘ She finally yelled. ‘‘ All of you caused the death of my innocent daughter and the destruction of my peaceful kingdom, and you are all living in this pathetic horrible world and having cupcakes?!’‘

Her thin and fragile body started shaking and she clenched her teeth staring at them in complete disbelief. She raised her long finer and pointed at Jupiter. ‘‘ YOU!’‘ She screamed, her sudden loud voice echoing in the halls of the building. ‘‘You had to protect her but you were weak and you failed her!’‘  Yuzuki started feeling the power inside of her waking up. She walked inside not noticing who was standing behind her on the hall.

‘‘ Everyone is dead and everything is destroyed!’‘ She walked to the table and stopped. ‘‘ Princess Serenity was corrupted and betrayed by that Earth Prince... and because of you that witch...’‘ A maniac laugh suddenly escaped her lips. She slapped the cupcakes off the table and slammed them against the wall. ‘‘ CUPCAKES!’‘

She turned to face them and the white moon on her forehead appeared, shining bright. But her gray eyes showed everything the White Moon family stood against of, hatred, vengeance... punishment. ‘‘ All of you deserve to suffer and to die!!’’

Vengeance and Punishment

After months of having the lowest selling numbers, her boss finally got tired of Oshira Yuzuki being the worst agent at the company but instead of firing her, he demoted her. She was no longer selling insurances by phone, instead she had to walk around knocking door and ringing bells trying to sell insurances personally. For that, she had to walk for hours and talk to people while being charming and smiling and energetic. Which was obviously so hard to do for her because she was none of them. Yuzuki was always exhausted, her eyes barely opened and she walked dragging her feet on the floor. Her voice was so monotonous and showed no sign of enthusiasm at all. But it was her only job, and even though she was clearly not up for it, it was the only one she was able to get and helped her pay the rent of that tiny dark hole she called apartment.

But of course, Yuzuki wasn’t good at this job either. It was so hard to drag her body from house to house and not only did people already hate insurance agents but they hated even more one like her. Emotionless, always looking exhausted as if she hadn’t slept in weeks and one who wore such casual and dull clothes. It looked as if she hated herself more than they did.

This life was so draining and she barely remembered what it felt like to be a Queen of such a beautiful kingdom, filled with love, wonders and magic. This world was tiresome and pointless, with everyone’s jobs and always running late, taking the subway with cement everywhere. What was beautiful about this life? The only thing that kept her going on was finding those who had destroyed her beautiful world, the ones that killed her daughter and ruined everything centuries ago. Endymion, who had fallen in love with her daughter and corrupted her. His traitor Shitennou that turned against him and helped invading the Moon. That Queen Beryl, who wasn't even a queen, but a girl who had become such a powerful witch, who was against the union between the Moon and the Earth Kingdom, starting that ridiculous war that killed everyone. Even those Senshi, who had sworn to protect her beautiful and innocent Princess, had failed miserably at their mission. All of them had caused her family and her people suffering and caused so much pain and death. All of them deserved to die, and it was unfair that they were living their lives in this universe. Why should they be alive when they had taken away everything from Queen Serenity? They didn’t deserve this...

And after spending centuries alone in that deserted and destroyed kingdom, this dark creature came from the black sky and destroyed HER moon, swallowing and bringing her into this universe. Her mission was clear once she found out that everyone she hated had reincarnated and lived happy lives... Queen Serenity had to take vengeance and punish them for what they had done to her.

Only she was unable to use her powers, and this life drained all of her energy, making her exhausted all the time. And without her powers, she had no option but to start living like one of these people around her and take a new name

The day was almost ending and after many door being shut on her face, she walked into her last attempt before calling it a night. She was about to ring the bell at an apartment building, whens he noticed the entrance door had been left open. This made her job easier, since it was better to talk to people face to face than trying to make them pay attention to her on the intercom.

She knocked on a door and waited, her eyes mostly shut from her exhaustion, a yawn escaping her mouth. Hopefully inside she would find a loving family who worried about their many kids and would buy some insurances from her. Big families were the easiest.

Her shift was over, time to go home after a horrible day of work. She had only sold one insurance and it was the cheapest one. Her boss was angry and had threaten to fire her again, something Yuzuki couldn’t afford. She was already having issues with how little she made, paying rent, buying food and the subway tickets everyday. It was hard to imagine that this depressed middle age woman, who walked barely lifting her feet from the ground, had once ruled a wonderful kingdom.

A block away from the subway station she stopped in front of a fancy coffee shop. Of course she did not walk in, instead she spied through the window and watched the people inside. They drank their expensive coffees and ate delicious and wonderful look pastries, oh, she was so jealous. And so hungry. ‘‘ I’d die for some of that coffee…’‘ She murmured.

'' Good morning, my name is Oshira Yuzuki and I'm calling from Meiji Insurance Company. May I please speak to Miss. Esme Midori???'' An exhausted and monotonous voice said on the phone.

"If you’re going to sell me insurance at this time of day, would you at least live up your voice a little?  How do you expect to sell anything with that lack of enthusiasm?  Tch," she scolded the other voice.  "Insurance?"  She glanced at her watch.  Well, she had some time to listen.  "What kind of insurance?  And when you explain it, at least pretend you are a little excited about what you’re trying to sell me.”

[green--esmeraude]

She listened attentively as she tried to suppress the yawn that was forming in the back of her throat.  Esme did perk up when the statistics were being listed.  Well, no specific numbers, but the number of incidents that could happen sounded awful.  Of course, Esme never really did hear of such incidents happening not at her apartment building at least.  She lived in a nice part of Tokyo it seemed.  Well, with as much as she was expected to pay for rent, there better be little to no incidents.

Oh, wait, house insurance wasn’t the same as renter’s insurance, and for 5000 yen a month, it’s likely this insurance company could not even afford to insure most of her items anyway, or they wouldn’t give her a check that held the same value as her bedroom set.

"Yes, I do live alone, but I live in an apartment, so I don’t believe your house insurance will do me much, but I am willing to hear about the health plans your company offers."

[ultioultionisselenes]

'' Don't worry, our company offers insurance for apartments as well. Specially in a city that often experiences earthquakes often, the coverage also includes fires, floods and even robbery. Everyone feel as if their homes were the safest place, but they fail to acknowledge how dangerous their homes actually are. And studies have show that most of the fatal accidents happen in what people would consider safe environments. And of course, our company covers all those unwanted incidents.'' Yuzuki said clearing her throat before talking about health insurance.

'' We offer a lifetime plan, Miss....'' For a second she forgot the woman's name and had to glance at her computer screen. '' Miss, Midori. Did you know 76% of the most fatal accidents happen during people's daily routine? Walking to work, taking the elevator, crossing the street, cooking or even playing sports. Our lifetime plans covers almost all of those accidents, it's coverage cost is 30,000 Yens a month.''

[kunsaito]

'' Good afternoon, my name is Oshira Yuzuki and I'm calling from Meiji Insurance Company. May I please speak to Mr. Kuro Saito??'' An exhausted and monotonous voice said on the phone.

"Speaking," he chirped, dangling a string over his cat.

"What’s this referring to?"

[ultioultionisselenes]

'' How many times a day do you think about the dangers surrounding you, sir? Those daily routines you have, studies have shown that 67% of the most deadly risks can be found in someone's daily routine. Such as taking a shower, taking the elevator, walking to work, cooking... The truth is your life is never safe, but Meiji Insurance has already thought about all those dangers surrounding you and offers an excellent health and home coverage.'' Yuzuki started saying, fast talking but her tone was still extremely monotonous. '' Do you play sports, Mr. Saito?''
