 They're all gone. Every one of the them. They all knew Pretty Guardian Sailor Saturn would be reborn, bringing an end to the world and usher in a new age. None of the Pretty Guardian's were prepared for her coming, if that were even possible, and fell to her scythe with ease. They all thought they would have a chance to prevent the end. 
 
 First it was Mercury, whose head fell from her neck before she could grasp her wand. Mars had been praying in her shrine. She felt the dark presence and was able to transform. Saturn cut through her flames, slicing her belly open. Jupiter succumb to her own electrical. Venus fell trying to save Uranus and Neptune, who had been hit with a heavy blast of magical power beyond 
 
 Only the Moon Princess remain. She gaze at the cherub faced girl who destroyed the last life-bearing planet in their galaxy and it's guardians without remorse. Usagi's legs felt weak, she fell to her knees and, despite her effort, began to cry. 
 
 `` No tears, my dear Princess,'' the black haired girl smiled innocently, twirling the scythe in her hand, `` I offered this planet a merciful death.'' 
 
 `` Why!?'' Usagi cried, `` Why now?!'' 
 
 `` The human race had damaged their world beyond repair. They drove other species to extinction. They polluted the air, water and soil. They turned on each other,'' the girl spoke in a serious manner, `` Humans had already begun the final destruction of the planet, I only saved them the hardship of a slow demise.'' 
 
 Struggling her feet, Usagi clenched her fists, `` You do n't know that! They all deserved a chance!'' 
 
 Saturn lunged toward Usagi with inhuman speed, the blade of weapon swung to slice off the head of the Moon Princess. Usagi dodged, her left bun flew from the top of her head, and she fell to her side. Saturn attacked again. Knowing that this was the end, Usagi closed her eyes. 
 
 She opened them. The blade of Saturn's scythe was frozen inches from her eyes. Saturn, too, was frozen. As was the chaos around them. The flames, the floating debris... it all was still. Confused, she carefully slid herself out of harms way and stood up, scanning the environment. 
 
 `` Forgive Saturn, for she did not realize your role in the new Genesis,'' spoke a soft, female voice. 
 
 A tall woman in a dark Pretty Guardian uniform appeared in front Usagi. Her long, green hair floated as if she were under water. Her hand tightly clasp a long staff with a crystal on the end. She extended her hand outward, `` Come with me, Princess of the Moon.'' 
 
 `` Who are you?'' Usagi asked with suspicion. 
 
 `` Time,'' the woman replied.
