Act IV: Moon’s Tragedy.

Megumi: Long ago, I was Infant Selene, cousin and niece of the Princess and Queen of the Moon respectively. Both were called Serenity (Selenity). My mother... I don't remember what happened to her...

Selenity: She died, she had died long ago, when everything happened; you were so young...

Megumi: Oh, yes… I had two years old and I lived in Andromeda... My father had died before I was born, he was a Prince of Andromeda, but not the heir... My mother, Lady Selene, died… I now remember how, she left one day and never returned... One of my servants told me she had fallen from a horse. I was so sad, alone, but Aunt Selenity came... My cousin Serenity was a little older than me, she had four years old... Mom’s service was short and then I left to the Moon...

Megumi started to cry, Selenity hold her and then she continued.

Megumi: Serenity was like an older sister to me, both of us were only children and we spent a lot of time together. I remember that we played on a large garden, full of flowers and how we used to hid the Silver Crystal from Auntie Selenity...

Megumi smiled.

Selenity: I remember those days...

Rika: I wish I could see them...

Selenity: You can...

She touched the floor and then all the Moon ruins became what they had used to be, many centuries ago...

Selenity: This is how the Silver Millennium, the Moon Kingdom, was.

Rika and Megumi were both wordless for a moment.

Rika: Cool...!

Megumi: Like my dreams...

They walked near the palace and saw both, Princess Serenity and Selene playing in the garden.

Megumi: Like I remembered...

Selenity: But one day things changed, didn’t they Megumi?

Megumi: Yeah...

Selenity: Let’s hear what they are talking about...

When they came nearer they could hear both cousins' chat, but they didn't seem to notice them.

Serenity: Oh, Selene, do you know whom I have met?

Selene: No, Serenity, whom?

Serenity: Oh, he is so cute! His name is Endymion; the Prince of the Earth...

Selene: Really?

Serenity: I think I'm falling in love with him, and I think he feels the same way!

Selene: He surely is, you are one of the most beautiful girls in the Solar System.

Serenity: Selene, you are beautiful too... why don't you find someone?

Selene: I'm too young, I'm only fourteen, you are sixteen... Soon you'll become the Moon Queen and will have to think of marrying and giving a heir to our Kingdom...

Serenity: But you must think of your happiness...

Selene: Forget about that...

Queen Selenity appeared at the palace entrance.

Queen: Serenity! Selene! Come in!

Serenity: We are going, mother!

That's the way it all happened, but I can't still really remember what happened after or whom was the boy I saw in the mirror… Almoyver, I loved him but I don't know when I met him...

Selenity: Megumi, don't worry, you'll remember...

Selenity walked them to the palace, where the Queen, Princess Serenity and Infant Selene were.

Queen: ...so the King of Earth has invited both of you to his palace, do you agree...?

Both: Sure!

Queen: Well, then, tomorrow you'll go...

Everything returned to ruins.

Megumi: What happens?

Selenity: We'll see what happened in Earth in the sky, as it didn’t happened in our Moon...

In front of them appeared an image. There were both cousins, in a carriage.

Selene: Serenity, I want to walk a little, could you please continue the journey and pick me up later?

Serenity: Well... ok, but don't get in any troubles...

Selene: Of course!

Selene went out. Some minutes later she was lost.

Selene: Serenity! Where are you?

Night came. Serenity, the Earth's King and Prince Endymion looked for her. Three wolves surrounded her then.

Selene: Good wolves, you don't want to attack me, do you? I'm cousin of the Moon's Princess and she would be very sad if I die...

The wolves got nearer and then… a stone fell in one's head. The wolves went away scared. Selene saw up at a dark-haired boy; the same Megumi had sawn.

Boy: Hey, are you ok?

Selene blushed.

Selene: Yes...

Boy: Are you a Princess or something?

Selene: I'm Infant Selene of the Moon, how do you know?

Boy: That dress...

Selene blushed even more.

Selene: Oh, yes, I see… What's your name, I wonder?

Boy: I'm Almoyver, of the Earth. I live here with my mother. I’m a hunter.

Selene: I see...

Megumi: Couldn't I say something smarter?

Selenity: Silence...

Princess Serenity, the King and Endymion got there. Serenity ran to Selene and hugged her.

Serenity: Are you all right?

Selene: Yes, that boy saved my life...

Princess Serenity and her companions stared at him.

Serenity: Ask what ever you want as a reward, you have saved one of the people I most love.

Almoyver: I need nothing, bye.

He disappeared. Two days later, Selene was again wandering in the woods when she saw him... but with the golden haired girl Megumi had sawn.

Selene: Almoyver...

Almoyver: Oh, hi, Infant Selene! May I introduce you my betrothed? Odette.

Odette smiled to her. Selene blushed and her eyes grew sad.

Odette: Nice to meet you, your majesty.

Selene: It's nice to met you too, well, bye, I have to go; I only wanted to thank you again.

She ran away. In the Earth's palace, she cried.

Serenity: What’s up, Selene?

Selene: I love him, Serenity, I love Almoyver so much… but he loves another girl.

Serenity: My dear Selene...

The image disappeared and they were again in the Moon Palace. Megumi saw again her dream of the mirror and understood it. Rika was fascinated.

Rika: But what happened next?

Selenity: Well, not long after Selene saw Almoyver's wedding to Odette and her heart was broken. She didn't even attended to Princess Serenity's celebration night... where they came...

Night came. They saw both Serenity and Endymion staring at a locket in a balcony. Staring at both was Selene, in silence, wondering why Serenity had love and she hadn't. Shadows appeared and covered the Moon. Megumi and Rika got scared.

Both: What is this?

Selenity got a bitter look.

Selenity: Metallia and Beryl, they wanted to take the Moon and the Earth; destroyed all the planet civilisations, but the Moon and Andromeda... Andromeda was too far away… And we had the Sailor Senshi.

They saw Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus fight but they were killed. Megumi started to cry.

Megumi: They died...

Selene: Sailor Senshi...

Rika: My God!

Endymion started to float and Serenity jumped to take his hand. They both were killed. Beryl laughed at Queen Selenity. She took out her Moon Stick and used the Silver Crystal Power...

Selenity: I trapped the evil and it was later destroyed by the Sailor Senshi’s reincarnations… But, it hadn't finished yet...

Luna and a white cat were near the Queen. After she made everyone that had died reincarnate in the Earth, trapped them in capsules as she fainted. Selene had been in her room all the time and cried when she saw the Silver Millennium been destroyed. But then, saw Queen Selenity still alive.

Selene: Auntie!

The queen opened her eyes and saw how she ran to her.

Queen: Selene, you are still alive...

Selene: We are the only survivors...

Queen: I'm going to die, Selene.

Selene: No, you won't, I'll save you... I'll take care of you... I'll...

Queen Selenity smiled.

Queen: You can't save me, Selene, but I don't want you to be alone, everyone in the Silver Millennium has died and they all are going to reincarnate...

Selene: I don't want you to die, I didn't want Serenity or Endymion or the Sailor Senshi to die...

Queen: I know...

Selene: I should have fight to save them...

Queen: You couldn't...

Selene: If I had a chance to help them again... If I had powers like the Sailor Senshi...

Queen: Maybe you'll have a chance... When I die I'll make you sleep and be re-born, you'll have a normal life like the others… But in your soul you'll remember everything. When your power is needed I'll look for you...

Selene: But I have no power.

The Queen joined her hands and put them in Selene's head. Andromeda's sign appeared in her forehead.

Queen: You now have the Andromeda's Lost Senshi Power, you'll not join the other Senshi, but protect them, like you want to...

Selene: Was Andromeda destroyed too?

Queen: Andromeda has it's own civilisation, it is fine. You'll just have its name, you'll be the protector of the Senshi and, also of Earth.

Selene: Yes...

The Queen smiled and then died. Her body disappeared. Selene closed her eyes.

Selene: Goodbye, Almoyver...

She disappeared in a cloud of dust...

Megumi: And now I have been awakened to help the Senshi, after they had suffered enough...

Selenity: Yes...

Rika: And how did you get the cat form?

Selenity: When I awoke to awake Megumi, I took the form of a cat, I'm not a queen anymore, now I'm like Luna and Artemis.

Megumi: So my mission is to defeat the Witch Carriet... Who is she?

Selenity: You'll know soon, by now you have another mission, find Sailor Universe.

Both: Whom?

Selenity: There is another Lost Senshi, your mother, Selene. She is the Guardian of the entire Universe, you'll have to find her. Take this...

She gave her an aquamarine-encircled heart with an arrow on top.

Selenity: The Universe Localizer, it will shine if a Sailor Senshi is near.

Megumi: Thanks.

Selenity transformed into a cat again, and they returned to Earth. Selenity wasn't with them. An instant later, they saw Ryo.

Ryo: Where were you? I have been looking for you... Rain stopped.

Megumi remembered their kiss and blushed.

Megumi: We were having some fresh air… Don’t worry. I have to go, bye.

Ryo gave her a strange look when she left. Rika looked at the sky.

Rika: But I still wonder why was I chosen?

Megumi laid in a wall.

Most of my mysteries have been solved… I have to find my past life mother and defeat mysterious Carriet… This is better than fighting without a reason. But now there is another question, why do Almoyver and Ryo look alike?
