In the Arms of the Angel

Usagi wanted to die right than. Everyone was gone, everyone she loved had been destroyed. Yet she was not mad at the Golden Senshi before her. Galaxia was not responsible; it was the chaos that she harbored inside.

spend all your time waiting

for that second chance

for a break that would make it okay

there's always one reason

to feel not good enough

And it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction

Oh beautiful release

memory seeps from my veins

let me be empty

and weightless and maybe

I'll find some peace tonight

Usagi did not want to destroy Galaxia; she wanted to save her. Her sword shattered, her crystal not containing enough power only severed to make her defenseless, but she didn’t give up. My mother didn’t give up, my friends didn’t give up and I’ll save this. This isn’t how it ends.

in the arms of an angel

fly away from here

from this dark cold hotel room

and the endlessness that you fear

you are pulled from the wreckage

of your silent reverie

you're in the arms of the angel

may you find some comfort there

Usagi continued to fight the battle despite her tiredness. She would not show any weakness, she was a Serenity and like her mother before her she would sacrifice everything for the ones she loved.

so tired of the straight line

and everywhere you turn

there's vultures and thieves at your back

and the storm keeps on twisting

you keep on building the lie

that you make up for all that you lack

it don't make no difference

escaping one last time

it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh

this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

Usagi, no Serenity, entered the Cauldron, warmth consuming her immediately. Her soft white wings flew her through to the center. I will release my friends, I will save them! She stopped as a form blocked her path. As the form took shape, Serenity looked for a way around it. A voice brought her back.

“Daughter,” it softly called.

“Moth…Mother?” she said hesitantly

“Oh my Serenity, no Sailor Cosmos, you have done what I could not. You’re heart is more pure than any this Cauldron has seen. You truly are a gift, a messiah, a queen,” The former Queen Serenity replied. “And you are my daughter.”

“Mother!” She cried throwing herself at the woman in white. Queen Serenity held her trembling daughter’s form, knowing this might be the last time for many centuries. Around the two bright colored stars broke free from their casing and as fallen stars returned to the fallen warriors.

Queen Serenity began to dissolve and in one burst of white light shattered the pieces falling upon her daughter’s soft skin.

“You are never alone, my daughter, you shall always have my arms for comfort.”

in the arms of an angel

and the endlessness that you fear

you are pulled from the wreckage

of your silent reverie

may you find some comfort there

you're in the arms of the angel

may you find some comfort here
