(From outside)

Doctor: "What was that yelling?"

Orderly: "I don't know, I think it was coming from Rose's room."

Doctor: "Again? Damn that crazy girl! C'mon, get the gas ready. And don't forget the tranq guns, tear gas, cattle prods, tazers... what am I forgetting... oh yeah! And the muzzle & cart! Everyone ready?"

Army of Orderlies: "Yes sir!"

(Wearing gas mask & big leather gloves, cattle prod in hand)

Doctor: "Good! Now, men! Forward march!"

BloodRose (Eyes wide) : "Oh, crap! When the hell did they hire all those orderlies? (Turns to audience) Run, before it's too late! Save yourselves!"

(Army crashes into room, led by doctor)

Doctor: "Come to treatment quietly, & noone will get hurt! There is no hope of escape! Come now!"

(Growling & producing twin kodachi from behind her back)

BloodRose: "You'll never take me alive!"

Doctor (Shaking his head): "I had hoped we could do this civilly, but..." (Evil smile) Ready!"

(Orderlies cock tranq rifles & train at BloodRose)

(Rose closes her eyes & holds her swords before her)

Doctor: "Aim!" (Makes the sign of the cross) "FIRE!"

(Orderlies fire rifles & watch as BloodRose falls)

Doctor: "Oh, well. Come on, men! Time to drag her to the treatment center.

(Turns to audience) Sailor Moon belongs to Takeuchi Naoko, Kodansha &..."

(Orderlies freeze when they see BloodRose start to move)

BloodRose (With darts sticking out of her body): "These will never work on me again..."

Doctor: "What the hell...?"

(Flexes every muscle in her body, causing the darts to fly in every direction)

BloodRose: "I AM IMMUNE!"

Doctor: "Use the gas, quick!"

(Drawing her twin kodachi & jumping into Orderly Army)

BloodRose: "I FIGHT ON!"

To be continued...

After all challenges are overcome, there is one thing that will rip Mamoru & Usagi apart. And this time, it's for good...

A BloodRose Creation}-;-

Fate's A Bitch

Chiba Mamoru knelt in the rain, his ebony hair plastered to his forehead, shirt soaked through, rain cascading down his face. The wind had become cold & biting, & he shivered uncontrollably with every passing breeze. But he didn't notice. The cold of the rain & wind could never compare to that of his frozen heart. Mamoru smiled slightly as he traced the marble plaque set into the crystal mausoleum sitting before him, tears mixing with the rain.

She had returned from death after a thousand years & found him again. She had returned once more after the defeat of Beryl, & loved him even after his betrayal.

When the Senshi had been taken to Nemesis, & Chibi-Usa turned into Black Lady, she had returned. When he himself had been brainwashed & attacked her, taking the Silver Crystal for the enemy, she had fought, & she had won. When she had been drawn to Nemesis itself, they had used their combined powers, their love, & Crystal Tokyo had been saved.

When Hotaru had been possessed by Mistress 9, & Chibi-Usa's soul stolen, she had fought, jumping into the heart of Pharo 90, risking the Silence by Sailor Saturn, & returned. After Galaxia, she had sealed Chaos, & there had been peace.

She had become Queen just six years ago, & he King. Chibi-Usa was only two years old, & the Outer Senshi had returned to their posts on their respective planets. Then, something completely unexpected had happened, something even Sailor Pluto had not foreseen. They had had a second child. A son. Prince Endymion Eternity. He was a year younger than Chibi-Usa, & was the spitting image of his father. The tears came faster as Mamoru's caressing hand clenched into a tight fist, the knuckles bleached white with the fierceness of the grip.

She had faced all challenges & come out smiling, but something so stupid as an out of control car... she could do nothing to stop.

A choked sob escaped Mamoru's constricted throat, & his hand tightened around the bouquet of red & white roses he held in his left hand. He didn't notice when the thorns bit into his palm, & hot blood began steadily flowing from his hand, dripping to the green grass. His eyes blurred as he stared at the engraved words in the white marble plaque mounted on the face of the mausoleum.

Neo Queen Serenity Chiba Tsukino Usagi

Beloved Wife, Mother & Queen

Devoted Warrior & Protector of Earth

Light of the Universe Bright Enough to Rival the Sun

You Will Be Missed As Long As the World Turns

Rest In Peace Always

Mamoru's smile was bitter as he rested his head on the cold, wet marble. A cynical chuckle escaped his lips, his grip on the roses tightening. He had heard Minako & Makoto say it before, but had always laughed it off. But now he saw the raw truth behind the ever popular saying, & couldn't agree more.

Fate's a bitch. And she had royally screwed him over.

A few dozen meters back, the Senshi stood, watching their King. Even Pluto had come from guarding the Gates of Time to mourn the death of her Queen, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune just behind her. In Rei's arms was a small bundle, his black hair spilling onto his forehead & hanging over his cobalt eyes heavily. His small face was serious, his eyes sorrowful. Next to Rei stood Makoto, in her arms was Chibi-Usa. Her large red eyes were mirrors of her brother's, her face sorrowful. The Senshi's faces were masks of anguish as they watched their King, his pain a mirror of their own. Serenity's children would grow without a mother, Endymion living a half life, for with Serenity died his soul. And for what?

All because one man didn't repair his brakes. Yes, Fate's a bitch. And there was no way to make her pay.

The Earth was in peace, but there would no longer be sun. Serenity was Earth's ray of light, & without her there would only be darkness. Why?

Because Fate's a bitch.

The End

(Sitting on a pile of orderlies)

BloodRose: "Sad, huh? Sorry minna-chan, but I had ta do it. Once I get an idea in my head, I gotta write it or it won't shut up! Good news, though! The quacks finally realized that I own Sailor Moon! Which means, I cin finally leave this dump!"

(Orderly under Rose begins to stir, releasing a low moan)

"Hey, quit squirmin!"

(Smacks in the head with the hilt of one kodachi, & he stops moving, knocked out)

"Well, that bout wraps it up. Oh, & I'd like to note for the record that Fate is not a bitch. He's, in fact, a new age musician who plays lead guitar in a band called "Gods' Rebellion". He lives in the Village in Manhattan & shares custody of his daughter, Destiny, with Death, his ex-wife.

All questions, comments, whatever can be sent to

And remember:

All flames will be used to roast the marshmallows!

Ja matta, minna-chan! Till next time!"

(Waves with a kodachi while audience turns to leave)

(From outside the room)

"IT'S NOT OVER!"

(Another army of orderlies burst into the room, led by the doctor)

Doctor (All beat up) : "I HAVE YOU NOW!"

(Eyes wide in horror)

BloodRose: "Yur still ALIVE? Where the hell did ya get all these orderlies?"

(With a crazy grin)

Doctor: "IT ENDS HERE!"

BloodRose: "No way! I won once, I'll do it again!"

(Drops into ready stance)

Doctor: "I don't think so. NOW!"

(Army dog-piles Rose)

BloodRose: "AAUUUGGHHH!"

Doctor: "Ah, relief. (Turns to audience) Sailor Moon belongs to Takeuchi Naoko, Kodansha, & Toei Animation Ltd. All rights reserved. Please come visit our institution again."

(Bows politely & takes out a muzzle before turning around)
