The youmas grasped me tightly and lifted me high up in the air. I grimaced in pain, and vainly tried to struggle from their binds. In my struggle, I hardly heard Sailormoon and Sailormars preparing their attacks. But the youmas anticipated their move and moved closer to me and floated with me still higher up in the air. Frustration welled up inside of me as their counter worked. Sailormoon and Sailormars were unable to attack for fear that I might get hurt. Minna! I screamed for them to go on without me. But they stood there in helpless awe as the youmas' binds electrocuted me once again. I was helpless and I screamed with every blow.

But the pain...became bearable, and I couldn't feel anything. I know I don't stand chance against all of them, but I still had some energy left inside to fight back. If this is fate, I must face it like a true warrior...and if this is my end, I shall not be alone. Slowly, I lifted my face, determination burning inside of me. I could see them gasp and before they could do anything, I screamed for the power and strength from the skies. I wasn't the only one who realized a mistake too late.

I lay quiet and unmoving in the glittering throne of ice, with my body badly bruised and numb. I ceased my struggling for I was content with two of the youmas destroyed. I felt peace at last, and warmth that filled my entire body. I slowly opened my eyes, and I saw Sailormoon, struggling up to me desperately. She..is..crying, and she is telling me to hold on. Usagi-chan... Weakly, I moved my gaze to the others. I gazed at Rei-chan's tight yet sorrowful face; at Minako's helpless one; and Ami's sad expression. I wanted to say that I was happy and proud of them.. I could see clearly how strong their wills were. They understood what and why this had to happen.

As I closed my eyes, flashbacks flowed wildly through my mind. Motoki-san... I had been a fool 'til the end, and this heart of mine lead me to my destruction. But all the bitterness was gone as I opened my eyes once again. Weakly, I whispered to them to go on. For the last time, I closed my eyes and succumbed to the darkness. I believe in them... I don't have to worry.
