THE DEATH OF SAILOR MOON
Episode 4
Sailor Mercury's sister a secret unveiled

Just as Sonia finished her speech, Ami wheeled up and came beside her

- It's good to have you back Serena, um, I mean Sonia

- Ami, you were right the first time

As the phantom voice faded away a brilliant flash of light revealed the shade
of Queen Serenity.

- Queen Serenity, everyone said in Unison.  Ami continued to say, "What do
you mean?"

- Let me explain.  After the battle with Queen Beryl and the Negaverse we
decided that if one of you was ever hurt the team would suffer the loss,
so before you were reborn on Earth; your auras were separated into two pieces
and reborn as two separate individuals.

- That's why I sense the similar aura in Sonia, added Rei

- Correct, Sailor Mars.  Your doubles have no knowledge of the moon kingdom or
their roles as scouts.  They were mainly created as a precaution and were
never meant to be activated.

Everyone was astounded by Serenity's words.  Except for Sonia who seemed
to be on top of things more than the other girls.

- So that's why I'm here, said Sonia

- Not so, Your families move from the US to Japan and the death of Princess
Serena was mere coincidence.  We never expected this to happen; otherwise,
we would have prepared you by making you dream of us and ready you for your
transformation to your new life as a scout.

After listening to Serenity, Ami wheeled up to the Serenity

- But what about me.  I can't continue to be Sailor Mercury this way.

- Not true my child, mortal physicians don't know our true nature and therefore
can't effectively diagnose our injuries.  Your bones and nerve connections
will eventually heal, but it will take time, so until then I have chosen
another to take on the mantle of Sailor Mercury.

Meanwhile in the ruins of the of Queen Beryl's throne room.  Zoicite was
making herself at home.

- General Zarn, is our new Negaverse warrior ready, she commanded

- He will need a few more hours.  He was beaten pretty badly by Sailor Moon
and he was near death when you brought him here from Earth, your Excellency.

After he answered, he eyes began to glow an eerie red and he was instantly
vaporized.

- Not the answer I wanted, but Zarn knew not to let me down.  Lieutenant
Majok

- Yes, your Excellency.

- Majok, you are now General Majok... try not to disappoint me like Zarn
did.

- Yes your Excellency.

Cutting back to the Rei's temple

- Is my replacement my doppleganger that you spoke of Serenity?

- Unfortunately not, Ami.  You doppleganger is in Paris right now studying
painting and music appreciation.  There would be no way to justify her coming
here, so I chose another.

- Who, everyone shouted in unison.

- Actually its Ami's younger sister.

After he heard Serenity's words Ami's mouth dropped wide open and she almost
fainted

- That's not possible.  I have not sister, she commented.

Walking over towards and looking at her reassuringly

- That is where you are wrong my dear.  Your younger sister's
identity was completely concealed from you and the others when we sent you
here.  Since she wasn't destined to join in your future battles with the
Negaverse, Luna, Artemis and I felt that this would be a good precaution
because if she new your secret identities then the Negaverse could use her
as a pawn against us all

- A wise precaution, my queen, he added.

- Now its time for you all to meet the new Sailor Mercury

After she spoke her final words, Serenity took out her moon scepter and waved
it in the air.  Suddenly, their was a brilliant flash of light and Molly
appeared out of nowhere.

Looking at her surroundings and identifying them as Rei's temple, she got
ready to speak, but was even more confused when she saw her company.

- Ami, what are you doing here with the sailor scouts and Darien why are
you dressed up like a bad imitation of Tuxedo Mask and you, you are the woman
who keeps appearing in my dreams... am I dreaming now.

- No Molly dear, you are very much awake.  Let me explain why I brought you
here today.

Looking confused, Molly sat down on a mat that Sailor Mars (Rei) pulled out
for her.

- My child, my name is Queen Serenity, I have brought you here today to tell
you about your legacy as well as ask a favor of you.

Looking up and nodding for the Queen to continue.

- I was once Queen of the mighty Moon kingdom long ago, but I was killed
in a battle with the Negaverse.  Before my death, I sent the children of
the Moon to the future here on Earth in the hopes that they could live peacefully.

- (looking questioning) Am I from the Moon?

- No, you were the princess of the Mercury Kingdom along with your sister Ami.

Looking over at Ami.  Molly's eyes rolled back into her head and she dropped to her
knees and fainted.  Instinctively, Sonia came up behind Molly and tried to
coax her back as if she had done this before.  Molly opened her eyes and
muttered,

- What do you mean princess... I don't remember any of this.

- And you weren't meant to.  When we sent you all to the future after Beryl's
Attack on the Moon and Earth's Kingdoms, your memories were completely suppressed
and known of remembered anything about this life until we wanted you to.
 If you think you can handle the rest, I will continue

- Why not.  It will be confusing for awhile, but I have learned so much already.

- As to my request of you, my child.

Walking over to Ami's wheel chair and standing behind it.

- Ami here is really Sailor Mercury and due to her injury we have been forced
to look to another to continue that role.

Walking back towards Molly and continuing to speak.

- Molly, I want you to take on that role.  I want you to be the next Sailor
Mercury.  Molly you were never destined to join the others, but you would
have regained your memories when Serena took her place as ruler of Crystal
Tokoyo.  Even tough you were never meant to join the others in battle like
the princesses of the planets, but now they need you now.  Will you join
us as the new Sailor Mercury.

- Well, I don't know

Ami wheeled towards her.

- Okay, count me in
