Usagi looked at the frozen landscape.
'How many times have I done this now? Nine hundred times? Nine hundred a fifty?' Usagi thought to herself.
When the greek goddess of night and the embodiment of death Nyx had begun it's descent towards Earth hearing the subconscious cries of a billion depressed suicidals, Usagi was sure it was sure in the back of her mind that it would be just another adventure where she'd be back to struggling with grades and taking playful jabs from her friends.
Instead Nyx's spirit had possessed the moon. The sight had nearly broken Usagi. But had stunned her even more was how in the twenty-four hours to make a choice as she desperately sought out a nonexistent third option, no less than fifteen attempts on her life were made. And these weren't remnants of the Dark Kingdom or Youma... They were professional and hired assassins.
For the first six Usagi was sure they had been sent by secret orders and holy brotherhoods to prevent her from doing what she was told needed to be done. Then it turned out they were from the sex slave trade, porno industry, and even the diamond corporations! Apparently the seers they employed to keep up with the super natural world had forewarned them the advent of the end of their way of life was at hand.
Usagi put it off as long as she could, she refused to believe this had to be the only way. And finally, with Rei herself begging Usagi to do it with seconds left until Nyx made contact with Earth and killed everything in an instant... Usagi froze the world.
Now she awoke every year on the dot before returning to her frozen prison. Seeing if Nyx had yet lost interest in the world... but every time there was that giant red eye where the moon should have been...
Usagi had grown so used to it, that she was still looking at the frozen forms of her friends she herself had sentenced to this, when she noticed something was off.
There was no longer the oppressive feeling of unnatural gravity, there was no longer that crimson glow. Usagi looked up, daring to hope.
The moon, the MOON looked back at her, not Nyx, the moon. Nyx was gone! It had finally left!
Usagi wondered if this was a trick or performance, but she found she didn't care! It was finally over! And time to begin again.
Usagi raised the raised the silver crytal ... and in one burst of light the world from Australia to China, from Iran to Canada and beyond, the world LIVED again!
