I suddenly felt weak and empty, as if everything had been hollowed out of my body. I took a glance at the fading, sickly, gorgeous Neo-Queen Serenity and I felt absolutely disgusted with myself. This really was my fault, all these people are going to die because of me... And there nothing I can do about it, or so I think.

"Felicity Evermore, you're the only one that can save our future." Sailor Pluto began to falter herself, and she fell to her knees. I immediately went to her and helped her stay steady. "Damn it... Now it's affecting the rest of us." Her voice fluttered, and I could tell that she was extremely ill. I looked around, to see all the Sailor Scouts around me falling to the floor one by one.

"Sailor Pluto... What am I supposed to do?!" I asked frantically.

"It's all up to you. You have to go back to the past, the twenty-first century. It's shortly after the battle with Sailor Galaxia..." She took a deep breath, and a tear fell down her cheek. "You must hurry."

"But... I can't do this alone! I don't even know what I'm doing!" I exclaimed, my heart pounding against my chest.

"Listen, we're all fading away... But it isn't going to affect our younger generations. I have an idea..." Sailor Pluto managed to stand and steady herself, and she raised her staff into the air and yelled, "I open the gates of time by the power of Pluto! Bring me a Sailor Scout of the future!"

A mist shot from the garnet orb on her staff and landed on the crystal floor just in front of us. The most began to spin faster and faster, and became taller and taller until I noticed it was shaped like a person. Then, there was a great flash of light and the force sent most flying in all directions. Sailor Pluto began to fall and I caught her in my slim arms, protecting her from falling on the hard floor and hurting herself. I looked back at where the flash of light was, and there was now a girl standing before us, she was a Sailor Scout. She was the same height as me, and she strangely reminded me of someone but I wasn't sure who.

"W-who are you?" Sailor Pluto croaked.

"Where am I?!" Her voice was in a panic but it was so soothing, like chimes.

"I'm sorry to have..." Pluto trailed off, trying to catch her breath. "We need your help. I am Sailor Pluto the Senshi of space and time."

"Setsuna?! You're alive?! Where's my mother?!" The new girl yelled frantically, running to embrace Pluto.

"I'm sorry darling, but you've been brought to the past. I do not know who you are, but what has happened in the future?" Pluto questioned cautiously.

"Nothing... There's nothing. One moment I was sitting at dinner with my mother, Makoto Kino... And then-" She was cut off by Sailor Pluto.

"You are the daughter of Sailor Jupiter?!" Her voice cracked as she raised it, and she managed to smile. "Here quickly, but this on."

Pluto handed her a ring, it was silver and had a small golden crescent moon on it. "What's this?" The girl asked, sliding it on her middle finger of her right hand.

"It will keep you from fading. Don't ever take it off understand me?" Pluto urgently whispered.

The girl got up and nodded, then she looked around and her eyes widened. "Mother!" She went to run for her but Pluto grabbed her leg.

"Wait!" She yelled. "You shouldn't reveal yourself to her... It could alter the timeline even further."

"But..."

"Just listen." Sailor Pluto insisted, " I need you to go with this girl, and head to the twenty-first century to fix all of this."

Pluto turned to me, still faltering in her existence, and handed me a small golden key. "What's this?"
