Last time on Sailor Moon Solar, Usagi was feeling better about herself although there was still a bit of sadness. Usagi's sisters took her to the mall, but it was a trap. Their regular attacks did not work, so they used a new attack. In anger, Bandos punched Solar Sailor Moon in the chest and caused her wound when Mudious stabbed her to reopen. Once home, Usagi collapsed in the shower because she weakened caused by her being punched in the chest. Celestial Sailor Earth appeared and healed her wound. Will they stop Bandos?

Usagi's wound healed again. Usagi still felt the pain caused by the sword. The memories came flooding back to her mind. "I wish you could remove my pain." Usagi replied, "Where the wound was... it still hurts!" Usagi cried with tears running down her cheeks. "Removing pain from someone is like erasing what has been done. Sorry Princess, but I am unable to remove the pain that the sword caused. It maybe will still be with you for a long time. Pains always remain even after the wounds are gone. What happened when you blacked out when the sword of Mudious stabbed you?" Naru asked. "When my spirit was pulled out of my body, I heard someone talk to me." Usagi thought back. ------- Flashback ------- "What happened to me?" Princess Serenity asked as she was floating above her body. "Mudious stabbed you to awaken the Princess of Earth." Someone replied. "Who are you?" Princess Serenity asked. "I am the Sailor Senshi of Destiny! I am Sailor Destiny! I wrote the prophecy about you killed and Sailor Earth returning. You will be here only for a short while, and then you will allow returning to your body! The pain will always remain as a reminder to you of what took place today." Sailor Destiny replied. "The pain will always be with me. I have to endure it forever. I do not like enduring things that are painful and difficult." Princess Serenity spoke to Sailor Destiny. "Be strong! The pain will make you strong!" Sailor Destiny answered her, "It is time for you to return to your body. Be strong Princess Serenity." Then the Princess returned to her body. ------- End Flashback ------- "And that is what happened when I blacked out after being stabbed." Usagi thought back, "Ouch! The pain hurts even worse when I talk about that day." "You do not have to endure the pain alone Usagi, we will help you endure it together." Nissha spoke. "Nissha-Chan, thank you." Usagi spoke, "For now, what happened today, about my wound being reopened, please promise me that you will not tell the other Sailor Senshi about it. I do not want them to worry about me. I got too many difficult problems I am trying to tackle already." Usagi spoke to them, "Promise me! Not a word!" "Okay!" Everyone agreed. Luna had tears in her eyes. Usagi was a girl that she cared for deeply. Luna felt inside that for now on, she would always have that pain that caused Sailor Earth to reawaken. It would always remind her of the events of that day. Usagi was a stronger girl now then a few years ago. She tried to dismiss the pain by thinking it was nothing, but the pain was real as well of the memories recorded in her mind of that day when Celestial Sailor Earth was revived and awakens. To Naru, that was the best gift Usagi had given her. Usagi gave up her life when Mudious stabbed her so Princess Naruko could return. Naru felt indebted to her. "Usagi." Nissha spoke, "Why do not you join the Starlights for a while and be with them?" Usagi's eyes lit up. "Thank you!" Usagi got up. She was dressed again and left. Later... "Seiya! Starlights!" Usagi greeted them. "Odango!" Seiya replied. "Hey Usagi! How are you?" Taiki asked her. "I will be okay. I am in pain a little, but I will be okay." Usagi answered Taiki. They went to a café. "What pain?" Seiya asked. "The pain of Eternity." Usagi replied. "The pain of Eternity?" They wondered. "Yes. Pain of Eternity, two weeks ago I died so Princess Naruko could awaken, but it was not my choice. It was destiny and Mudious." Usagi told them. "How? You died! Mudious, who is he?" Yaten asked. "Two weeks ago, Mudious the second Dark Youma General decided that the best way to awaken the Soldier of Nature was the one that the Soldier of Nature loved the most. Me. Mudious stabbed me with his sword. Not only I died instantly, but also it left a scar on my heart. Once I was floating above my body, a Sailor Senshi named Sailor Destiny, told me that what happened was for the prophecy to come true, since she wrote the prophecy. Sailor Destiny is in charge of all the people's destinies. She told me that I would always feel the pain and memories of that day to remind me of what I gave up on that day for my friend Naru that caused her awakening as the last Celestial Sailor Senshi of our Solar System. Can I really fight off the pain I endure? I cannot escape it. It will not let me forget that horrible day. Not only it had left a scar on my heart, it left a scar on my chest as well. Then Bandos appeared today, re-injured my scar, and opened it again. Thanks to Celestial Sailor Earth, she healed my wound and my scar on my chest disappeared. Now, only thing left I endure is the pain of the scar in my mind and on my heart. I am not strong! I am weak! This is the thanks I get by enduring pain by remembering my sacrifice of my life causing the Soldier of the Earth to return?" Usagi questioned herself as she told the Starlights her story. Again, Usagi grasped her chest as the pain pulsates through her body shooting her chest with pain. Tears flowed from her eyes once more. "It is too much. Too painful, it was better that I remained lifeless then have to endure this!" Usagi spoke again with great sorrow. "Odango, remember this, when you feel the pain caused on your heart, your friends will feel your pain. Learn from it!" Seiya spoke. "Seiya!" Usagi gasped. "Do the others know about what you are enduring the pain alone?" Taiki asked. "No. Only my sisters Nissha and Taiyo know. In addition, Luna, Artemis, Corona, Cronos, and Naru know about this. Now includes you too." Usagi spoke, "Also if I tell the others that do not know, they will see my weakness. I do not need them to worry over me. I have many worries all ready. If they knew, they worry about me constantly. I must be strong and they must never know." Usagi speaks once again, as she grabs her broach because of the pain, "The pain, and the pain!" Usagi cries out. "Usagi." Taiki replied. "Usagi." Yaten replied. "Odango!" Seiya replied. "I am sorry, I made you worry about me. Do not worry. I will be fine." Usagi reassures them that she is okay as the pain subsides. Then she runs out of the café and runs down the street. "Odango!" Seiya replies again. Then the window shatters! Dark Youmas had appeared. "Here we go! Returning as the Starlights once more to save this planet from the Darkness!" Taiki replied. "Fighter Star Power, Make Up!" "Maker Star Power, Make Up!" "Healer Star Power, Make Up!" Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten transform into the Starlights. Elsewhere... Rei, Makoto, Ami, and Minako caught up with Usagi. Usagi was wore out from all the surging pain she was feeling. "Usagi-Chan. Are you okay. You do not look well." Ami asked her. Usagi's heart surged with pain again. Usagi grabbed her broach and tried to hold the tears back. "I am okay." Usagi spoke as she tried to hold herself together. Dark Youmas appeared as well as Sailor Sun and Sailor Solar. "Let us transform!" Rei spoke to the others, "Mars Celestial Power!" "Jupiter Celestial Power!" "Venus Celestial Power!" "Mercury Celestial Power!" "Make Up!" Rei transformed into Celestial Sailor Mars. Ami transformed into Celestial Sailor Mercury. Makoto transformed into Celestial Sailor Jupiter. Minako transformed into Celestial Sailor Venus. "Solar Moon... The pain!" Usagi speaks softly to herself. Usagi tries to transform, but is stopped by the pain. Tears well up as the pain increases, this was too much for her to bear. Usagi fainted. "USAGI!" The Sailor Senshi spoke with great concern. "What happened to her? Why was she grasping her chest?" Celestial Sailor Mars asked Sailor Sun and Sailor Solar. "We do not know." They replied. They knew what was happening with her, but would never tell them of what was happening to her. "She will be okay. She just has been tired lately." Sailor Sun replied. For a few minutes, Usagi was asleep then she started to wake up. "Usagi?" Everyone questioned her with great worry. "I am okay. Solar Moon Power! Make Up!" Usagi cried as she transformed into Solar Sailor Moon. "Good she's okay! Mars Celestial Fire Dragon Strike!" Celestial Sailor Mars called out her Fire Dragon. "Solar Flare Arrows Strike!" "Sun Fire Burst!" "Solar Fire Rain Dance!" The three Sun Soldiers spoke as their powers came as one and toasted the Super Dark Youmas! The Super Dark Youmas vanished. "Uh! The pain is back!" Solar Sailor Moon spoke softly as the pain increased again. Meanwhile the other Super Dark Youmas that the Starlights were fighting forced to destroy Solar Sailor Moon. The Starlights appeared. "Star Serious Laser!" "Star Gentle Uterus!" "Star Sensitive Inferno!" "Solar Flare Arrows Strike!" "Sun Fire Burst!" "Solar Fire Rain Dance!" All the powers of the Sun Soldiers came together and hit the Super Dark Youmas. The Dark Youmas vanished. Bandos then appeared. "Now is the final battle between you and me!" Bandos spoke. "Star Serious Laser!" "Star Gentle Uterus!" "Star Sensitive Inferno!" "Solar Flare Arrows Strike!" "Sun Fire Burst!" "Solar Fire Rain Dance!" "Mars Celestial Fire Dragon Strike!" "Mercury Celestial Ice Falcon Strike!" "Jupiter Celestial Thunder Pegasus Strike!" "Venus Celestial Love Sparrow Strike!" All the powers combined and wounded him! "Now let us finish this..." Solar Sailor Moon spoke as the pain started to rise up again, "... please just another couple of minutes..." "SOLAR STAR ATTACK!" The three Sun Soldiers replied. The Sun Soldiers went into the air and turned into a burning ball of gas! Bandos burned up and his Dark Crystal shattered. Solar Sailor Moon collapsed and fainted again. "SOLAR SAILOR MOON!" Everyone yelled with great worry. Later... "Usagi, are you okay?" Nissha asked, "Everyone was concerned for you." "I will be okay." Usagi recovered from her fainting spell. It still hurts. Oh, the pain!" Usagi grasps her chest due to the pain. "We love you Usagi." Taiyo speaks to her sister. "I am a sorry friend that I cannot share my pain. I must suffer and endure it alone." Usagi thinks to herself. Tomorrow is another day. Next Episode: "The Darkness Master descends! Darkness engulfs the Earth!"
