Princess Serenity had put aside the pain that was hurting endlessly. She was attempting to use up all her willpower and strength to defeat him. The others saw how much she was struggling. "Do not give up Usagi-Chan! We believe in you!" Celestial Sailor Jupiter spoke to her. Everyone felt the same way. Rei concentrated to find out what the Princess was feeling. Then she felt her pain and understood. Tears welled up in her eyes when she felt Usagi's pain. "She is trying to suppress her pain long enough to defeat him!" Celestial Sailor Mars spoke to the others, "Please Usagi-Chan, light up the world with your power!" Princess Serenity started to weaken. Her will start to give way. "Destiny Caller! Appear!" Princess Serenity cried, "Sailor Destiny, I command you to appear before me, Princess Serenity Princess of the Sun and Moon!" Princess Serenity yelled out. A girl with black hair, blue eyes, and a silver fuku appeared. "This is the first time of seven you have asked me to appear to you. What do you need?" Sailor Destiny asked her. "Sunlight! I need Sunlight! Lots of it, helps me to be strong and defeat this evil creature!" Princess Serenity asked her. "Very well, if that is what you need, I will give it to you!" Sailor Destiny used her staff and penetrated the clouds of Darkness to reveal a small hole in the sky and a ray of Sunlight landed on the Princess. The Princess began to glow! She kept on fighting and taking in Sunlight! Her powers were getting stronger again and her will become sharp as a sword! "SOLAR MOON POWER!" "SUN CELESTIAL POWER!" "SOLAR CELESTIAL POWER!" "SUN TRIPLETS! SOLAR MEGA POWER SLASH!" A powerful beam of energy of Sunlight hit the Darkness Master! He started to burn up! "NO! My beautiful Darkness is being swallowed up by Sunlight!" The Darkness Master cried out as he started to disappear. The he was gone and his Dark Crystal shattered! "I will appear to you six more times. Farewell." Sailor Destiny disappeared. Princess Serenity could no longer hold back the pains she had suppressed! She let it go with a mighty scream! Princess Serenity fainted and transformed back into Solar Sailor Moon and then transformed back into Usagi. Her sisters returned to their Soldier forms safely. Tuxedo Kamen caught Usagi. "She did it! She beat the darkness!" Tuxedo Kamen spoke as he looked down on the girl with great love. She put her pain aside long enough to beat the evil. It was more than she could handle. "Let us go to somewhere safe." Celestial Sailor Earth spoke to the others. The next Day at Nissha, Taiyo, and Usagi's apartment... The day went peaceful without any fights. Were all the Dark Youmas gone? Mamoru was by the bedside of the girl he had sworn to protect. He understood her pain, her grief, and her sorrow. Princess Naruko aura shined purple. This was a new color of an aura for her to reveal to the others. "What does your aura mean?" Rei asked. "It is my honesty and my gratitude for her brave deed. It is hard for her to forget that day. The day destiny used her as a tool to awaken me, not Mudious. I know it is hard for you to understand. When Destiny speaks to a person to do something, you have to obey. And she did!" Princess Naruko spoke. "You mean, Sailor Destiny commanded her not to move when the Dark Sword was coming towards her and being aimed at her heart." Rei asked. "Yes. Usagi obeyed as instructed. Moreover, there she stood, waiting for destiny to strike her and change her life forever. The pain caused by the scar on her heart is to remind her of what she caused to obey and the sacrifice she made by obeying the Soldier of Destiny. It may overtake her a times, but like today, she can hold it for a while, so she can complete her mission. The scar on her heart will always test her." Princess Naruko replied. "Oh. Poor girl." Ami replied. "Is she strong?" Haruka asked. "She is strong and weak! She is strong when it needed, but often she does not have the strength to endure the most difficult things. I am sorry for keeping her defect a secret, she asked me to. She did not want others to worry about her. She is a very private girl." Princess Naruko explained. "She is." Princess Naruko replied. Usagi began to awaken. In addition, started to mutter something in a quiet tone to her where others could not hear. "June 30... I will have one free day." Usagi spoke softly. Princess Naruko probed Usagi's mind. She got the answer she was looking for. "I know what she is talking about! One day of every calendar year, Usagi gets one day where the scar on her heart will not trouble her. It is her birthday, June 30. It is coming up soon. Let us make it a good day for her. Alright?" Princess Naruko revealed to the others. "Yes." They replied. Usagi woke up. She tried to get up, but Princess Naruko stopped her. "Do not get up. You severely weakened by the energy you used yesterday. Try to relax and rest. It will make you feel better." Princess Naruko told her. Usagi laid her head back on the pillow and lay there silently.
