Title : Moon power by Penny This is my first fanfic so don't be too hard on me. Characters of Sailormoon belongs to Takeuchi Naoko and the story belongs to me. -------------- Chapter 1 : The past returns Looking at the window of the airplane, thinking about her past. It's been two years now since Serina had been in Tokyo. She had left because Darien didn't love her anymore. A tear fell on her cheek as she remember her last conversation with him. - "Darien, she said, why are you doing this to me?" -"Serina, how many times to I have to tell you, I don't love you anymore, he said. I know it's hard for you but this is how I feel." At that moment, he turned around and started walking away from her. - "Darien, noooo...." she yelled has she felled on the grown, crying. Shaking her head in the plane, she was wondering how she was going to managed now, knowing the truth... Two months ago, at her apartment in New York in the middle of the night, she got a strange visitor. It was Sailor Pluto, guardian of time. Pluto was surprised to see how much she had change over the years. She seemed more mature and older now. Serina was shock to she her here and she asked her how she found her. Pluto stopped thinking of how Serina looked and said that it wasn't important and that she needed to talk to here. Serina let her in and Pluto started. She told Serina that things weren't going good back home. The negaverse was up to something and that the sailor scouts aren't gonna be able to stop them without their leader, Sailormoon. - "But I can't go back Pluto, Serina said. It's been too long and I have a life here. Serina thought about her two years in college, studying as an artist. She was just starting a new life here with new friends. She really didn't want to go back even if her new life wasn't the real reason. -"You must, said Pluto seriously. It's your destiny". Serina knew about her future. Crystal Tokyo, her daughter Rini,everything. But she also knew that the future will not be the same anymore. -"It's not my destiny anymore, she cried out to Pluto. Everything has changed. Darien and I will never be together and we will never rule Crystal Tokyo, NEVER!" -"Serina, Darien still loves you." Pluto said calmly. Serina stared at Pluto and shook her head. "No,he doesn't,why do you say that?" Pluto started. "When you left Tokyo, I sense that something was going on in the past so I went there. The sailor scouts were looking for you for days and I came back to help them. Few days after, the girls called a meeting and they asked Darien to come too. When he got to the temple, he told us that you had left because of him. He told us that he was having dreams about you and that they were telling him to stay away from you, for your own safety. He was devastated when he found out that you were gone and he never forgave himself for it." Serina sat down and started to cry. -"For my own safety !! she scream. He tore me apart! A part of me died that day" she whispered through her tears. -"Princess, Pluto said, you must come back for the safety of our world. You must help the scouts with their new enemy." Serina nodded. She understood why she had to go back, even if she wasn't ready. The plane started to land in Tokyo. Ready, she thought on the plane. I will never be ready she whispered. -------------- Comments ??? send them to peneloppe@yahoo.com Chapter 2 : Home Again Raye was waiting for Serina at the airport. She had gotten a letter a few weeks ago from Serina, saying that she was coming back. She was so happy to know that her friend was doing alright and that she would be seeing her again. Raye looked at the letter and read it again. Dear Raye, I know that it's been a while since we talked and I'm sorry that I haven't done this before. I needed to start over again, far from Tokyo. I know you understand that. I will be returning soon and I hope I will be able to stay at your place for a while. I know about the negaverse, Pluto told me about it. It seems that we will have alot on our hands! What's new! I really can't wait to see you guys again. I hope that everyone is doing well. See you soon, your friend, Serina xxx Hearing the number of the plane that Serina was suppose to be on, she headed for the gate to welcome her friend. She had told the girls about her arrival and everyone was waiting for her at the Temple. All but Darien she thought. I don't think that she would want to see him there, Raye said to herself. Beside, Raye didn't want him there either after what he did to her. She never forgave him for that. Seeing everyone come out of the plane, she started looking for Serina. A few moments later, she saw her. Wow, she thought. She seems so different. Raye waved at Serina and smiled. Serina ran into Raye arms. - "Raye !!, she yelled, it's been so long! - "Too long said Raye who was hugging her friend. Let's go, everyone is waiting for you at the Temple." Serina smiled as they walked out of the airport. Driving back to the Temple, they talked about everything ! How everyone was doing and what was new. Parking the car near the Temple, they started walking up the stairs. At the top, Serina saw her friends : Amy, Lita and Mina. - "Hi guys ! Serina said. - "Serina !!!" they yelled, running toward her. - "We missed you Serina," said Amy. - "Yeah and I hope that you are hungry, said Lita. I made a little snack for everyone !" -"Welcome back Serina!" said Mina with tears in her eyes. Serina never felt so happy. She was home, with her friends. Tears fell down her cheeks as she was hugging everyone. Mina turned toward Raye and whispered that we had a problem. Raye looked at her, confused as she saw someone coming out of the temple. A man with dark brown hair and eyes was standing at the main door. - "Darien, Raye yelled furious. What is he doing here?" - "I'm sorry Raye, said Mina. He came here on his own. We didn't tell him anything". Serina look at him shocked ! She knew that she would see him again but she never thought so soon. The pain was coming back. The pain of his last words. -"Serina, he stared. Please, you have to listen to me." -"No!" she yelled at him, furious. -"Serina, I can explain..." -"I know all about your dreams Darien," she said. "Sailor Pluto told me everything ! But time has passed since then and I have a new life now." -"Serina..." he said, "I love you..." -"Well I don't !!" she screamed, crying in pain. She turned around and started running down the stairs. She could hear Darien calling her back but she didn't care. He left her once and she didn't want to go through that again. She couldn't. Halfway down the stairs, an arm grab her from behind. -"Serina, please," Darien started. -"Don't do this to me Darien", she cried out. Not having a chance to reply, a loud noise was heard ! The sky was dark and it was starting to get cold. -"What was that ?" Serina said. -"Guys, said Amy running down with the other girls, it's the negaverse. Let's go !" -"Right," said Serina drying her tears. She looked at Darien and said: "Moon Crystal Power " Darien pulled out a rose and the rest of the girls followed Serina : " Mercury crystal power " " Mars crystal power " " Venus crystal power " " Jupiter crystal power " -"Well well," a voice said. "Sailormoon, so good to see you again. I almost had you once, but this time, I will not fail". Everyone looked at Sailormoon, confused. A man appared near them, blue hair and eyes. He was dressed in a white suit with a crescent black jewel on him. Sailormoon looked at him in fear. - "you".... ---------------- comments ??? send them to peneloppe@yahoo.com Chapter 3 :An enemy returns -"How nice of you to remember me my dear princess" the man said with a evil smile. -"Who is this creep" said Sailormars, looking at Sailormoon. -"Let me introduce myself" said the man. "I'm Antares, one of the last surviver of the negamoon family. I wonder into space for many years before I reach earth. Now that I'm here, I plan on finishing what the Wiseman started. And by doing that, I must destroy the one and only person who could stop me from doing so : Sailormoon". -"In your dreams pal!" said Jupiter. "You are gonna have to go through us first, right guys ?" -"Right!" -"That will not be a problem" said Antares as a stream of dark energy started to build up around him. -"Sailor scouts, look out....." scream hopelessly Sailormercury while the energy it them all with incredible power. They fell to the grown, crying out in pain. "And now Sailormoon, you will be mine" laugh Antares while throwing another beam toward her. Sailormoon looked up, waiting for the beam to hit but I red rose stopped it on the spot. -"Tuxedo mask" Sailormoon whispered. Not noticing that the Sailor Scouts where back on there feet, Antares saw a beam of light striking him on his shoulder. -"Agrrr" he scream out of anger. -"Good work Venus" said Mars, "let's finish him off !" "Mars celestrial fire suround" "Shiny aqua illusion" As there attacks combined, Antares jumped out of the way just in time, sending another blast from his power. The Sailorscouts managed to avoid the attack but Antares struck back with even more energy. -"Sailormoon, look out !!" scream Tuxedo mask as he leap toward her and pushing her out of the way. -"Tuxedo mask, noooooo !!!!" Sailormoon cried as he was struck by the beam. She ran towards him and fell on the grown next to him. "Get out of here Sailormoon, save yourself" he managed to whisper to her. "Oh Darien..."she said with tears on her cheeks. "Mars flame sniper" "Sparkling wide pressure" "Mercury aqua rhapsody" "Venus love and beauty shock" The attacks hit Antares good this time as he fell on to the grown. Strugling to get up on his feet, he looked at the Scouts. "I'm out match for now" he yelled, "but I'll be back, you can count on it". On that, he disapeared into the darkness. Running back to where Sailormoon and Tuxedo mask where, they saw that he was injured very badly from the attack. "We have to get him inside" said Mercury and the others nodded. The Scouts carried Darien back into the temple while Mars was helping Sailormoon climb up the stairs. ************************ Inside the temple, Darien was resting on Raye's bed. His injuries were severe and they knew that he was dying. -"Maybe we could heal him with our powers" said Lita, looking down on Darien. -"Please leave me alone with him" ask Serena with her face covered with tears. -"Serena..." started Raye. -"Just leave" she said calmly. They looked at her and they nodded, leaving the room quietly. When Serena was sure that they where gone, she took out her locket, holder of the silver crystal. -"Serena..." Darien whispered. "Don't use the crystal, you might not..." -"Darien" Serena started," I can't stay here and watch you die. You saved my life and I... I love you." Darien smile at her, forgetting his pain. "I was hoping that you would say that" he said. "I love you Serena, I always have and I always will". "But you mustn't use the crystal, you're too weak from the fight and..." -"I have to Darien" she said, crying. "I... I must" She held the crystal over Darien in her hands. She close her eyes and started concentrating. The silver crystal began to glow and the light grew stronger. -"Serena... don't..." *************************** -"It's been too long" said Raye, sitting next to the fire with the other girls. -"I agree" said Mina, worried too. "Why don't we go see if everything is alright, just in case" she added. Everyone nodded and they got up. Opening the door where Serena and Darien where, they're eyes grew wider. They saw Serena, lying on the floor, lifeless with her locket in her right hand. -"Serena !!" they all screamed, running next to her. -"is she...." Lita whispered. -"No, she's still alive" said Amy. "But she's very weak, I can hardly get any life signs from her". -"She used the crystal to save Darien" Mina said, walking near him. "Look !! His wounds are almost all healed !!" she said, surprised. -"Let's get Serena in the next room" said Raye who was very worried about her condition. -"Right" said the others. Moving Serena in the next room, they put her on the bed. "She very warm" said Lita. "You think she has a fever or something ?" -"I'm not sure" said Amy. "But I'll go..." -"Wait", said Raye. Look at her.." Looking closer at Serena's face, light was emerging from her forehead. A few seconds later, a crescent moon appeared. -"What does this mean?" asked Mina, looking at Raye. -"I don't know" she said. "But I've got a very bad feeling about this..." --------------------------- So, what did you think ??? Please send your comments to : peneloppe@yahoo.com Chapter 4 : The circle of Life Has Begun Two days later at the temple, the girls were siting around the fire, talking about they're new enemy and about Serena's condition. -"Something is definitely wrong guys, said Raye, Serena hasn't awakened yet". - "I've been examining her for the past few days and I can't find anything wrong with her except the fact that we can't wake her up", said Amy. - "I'm very worried", whispered Mina. - "Me too, said Lita. Most of all, Darien wounds are all healed and he's been siting in Serena's room since yesterday. He is very worried and I think that he feels guilty about all of this". - "He should be, screamed Raye. It's his fault that Serena used the crystal". - "Raye, started Mina, I know that you are angry because Darien hurt Serena and she left because of it but I don't think that Serena would have heal him if she didn't have anymore feelings for him. Most of all, Darien wouldn't be in her room right now if he didn't care". - "I know, whispered Raye, but I can't help it !! None of this would have happen if he hadn't hurt her in the first place". - "You don't know that Raye", said calmly Amy. Raye turned away from Amy's look and she stared at the fire from the temple. Everyone stopped talking when I huge scream was heard. - "What was that, said Mina. It sounds like it came from Serena's room". Everyone got up and started running towards Serena's room. Raye open the door and found Darien shaking Serena in her bed. - "I can't wake her up", screamed Darien. - "She's having a nightmare", said Raye as she pushed Darien to the side. - "Wake up Serena", Raye screamed as she slap Serena a few times in the face. "Wake up !!" - "It's not true....", scream Serena as she awaked up. - "Serena, said Raye, are you alright ?" Serena pulled herself up and sat on the bed. She stared at the room a few seconds. "Where am I", she said. "What happened ?" - "You use the crystal," started Amy. "You healed Darien and you past out after that. You've been out of it almost two days. Don't you remember?" - "I think so, whispered Serena, putting her hand on her forehead. Ahh, my head hurts so much". - "Let me see, said Amy as she came closer. The crescent moon...." - "It's gone, said Raye. Hmmmm...." - "Serena," started Darien, "are you alright ?" - "Tired," she managed to say looking at Darien. "I... I think so". - "You need your rest now", said seriously Amy. - "Right," said Raye. "We'll let you sleep and we'll try to find some information about are new enemy". Serena nodded, to weak to speak or to give them the information that she already has. The girls left the temple, leaving Darien to watch over Serena, even if Raye didn't exactly agree with it. Outside the temple, Raye stopped and looked at the other girls. - "What happened to her crescent moon", she whispered. - "I don't know Raye, said Amy, but I think we should asked her later when she will be feeling better". All of the girls nodded as they continued walking down the stairs. **************************** Meanwhile, at the temple, Darien got Serena some orange juice that she asked for. - "Thank you", she said. - "Serena, Darien started, "I'm sorry that all of this has happened. I ...." - "It's not your fault Darien," she said. "You know, all the time that I was in America, I... I couldn't have a relationship with someone, I didn't want to I think. I thought that I needed time to forget you but when I saw you there, dying, it came to me that I couldn't live without you. Even if I sometimes feel the pain that I once had, I couldn't let you die". Serena turned away from Darien's look but he pulled her back. They looked at each other for a few seconds and softly, Darien kissed Serena on the lips. Serena accepted the kiss and she kissed him back. A few moments later, they pulled away from each other. - "I never thought that we would kiss again" said sadly Serena. "I've been having these feelings for a long time but I couldn't express them to anyone. I.." - "I've been feeling the same way, Serena", said Darien. Darien pulled back Serena and kissed her again. Serena was warm inside and she didn't know why. She started breathing hard as she wrap herself around Darien. They continued to kiss has they felled back on the bed. *********************** An hour later, Darien got up from the bed and stared at Serena, sleeping. He was happy to have found her and he was also happy that she still loved him after all this time. A few minutes later, the girls were back from they're exploration. Darien left the room and asked the girls what they have found. - "Nothing much", said Lita. - "We tried contacting Sailor Pluto but we didn't have any luck", continued Mina. - "How is she", asked Raye. - "She's sleeping," said Darien. "I think she's gonna be alright". - "Good", said Raye. *********************** A few hours later, they were still talking about the new enemy when someone came in the room. - "Serena," said Raye. "what are you doing up, you need you rest". - "I'm hungry", said Serena with a smile on her face. "I could go for some pizza with fries. Oh ! Maybe some ice scream too with chocolate on top!" - "Oh yeah, she's ok now !", said Lita and everyone started laughing. - "What's so funny", Serena asked smiling. - "Nothing," said Mina. "Alright, let's order some pizza". - "Don't forget the ice cream too !!", Serena added laughing while Mina was calling from Raye's room. - "This is gonna be great!" ************************** Somewhere, sometime, in an other place.... - "Stay still", said a dark, creepy voice. "I can't heal you if you keep moving like this". - "Just do your job Healer, said another voice. This was only a test". - "Antares, you have to be more careful next time so you won't find yourself again in this position". - "Don't worry, the next time will be different," said Antares. A few minutes later, a woman entered the room. She had a dark robe, covering her black hair. The only thing that you could see was her green eyes. - "I'm sorry to disturb you master but I have some interesting news for you", said the woman. - "What is it sorcerer", Antares screamed. - "It has begun", she whispered. - "What has ?", said Antares. - "The circle of life, said the woman. But you must act quickly before they learned of this. Before SHE knows". - "Perfect, said Antares, laughing. This will be so easy". - "Be careful Antares, said the sorcerer. The sailor scouts are powerful and if they find out about this..." - "They won't, said Antares. I'll make sure of that. But first, I'll give them something to worry about so they won't have time to find out what's really going on". - "Very good idea", said the woman. - "While I'm at it, why not making a little bit painful ?" ********************* Later that night, in bed, Serena thought about Darien. She was happy that he loved her and she was happy they were together again. "It's my destiny" she said before falling in to a deep sleep. But that night, she had a strange dream.... - "Where am I," she said. "What am I doing out of the temple ?". She looked at herself and realize that she was Sailormoon. - "Help me...", a voice said. - "Who's there", Sailormoon asked as she was going down the stairs. Then, she stopped. - "Reeny, she managed to say, shocked. What are you doing back in the past ?" - "Help me...", Reeny said again. - "She is mine", said a familiar voice. -"Leave her alone Antares", Sailormoon screamed. Behind Reeny, Antares stood there, laughing. - "She is mine", he said just before vanishing in the air. - "Nooooooooo......", Sailormoon screamed. "Reeny..." Chapter 5 : The truth Serena was sitting in her bed, staring at the darkness of the room. She held her head, wanting it to stop spinning. "What happened" she wondered. "Reeny !!!" she screamed as she jump out of bed. She opened the door, still in her nightgown, running toward the main door when Raye stopped her. - "Serena, what's wrong, she said to her friend. Where are you going dress like that". - "It's Reeny, Serena said still running, we have to save her. Antares has her, I'm sure of it". - "Serena stop for a moment, Raye yelled at her. How do you know this for sure ?" - "Well...", she said, stopping at the front door. "I had a dream about it.... it felt so weird..." Serena started to tell Raye her dream and Raye shooked her head. - "Serena, you don't know for sure if he has her and we should call a meeting with the others before jumping to conclusions". - "He might hurt her if we wait too long..." she said, crying. "I don't want that to happened". - "Serena, get a grip on yourself, Raye yelled to her. And stop crying !!! Wait here, I'll go call everyone and we will decide after. Ok ?" Serena nodded has she sat down on a pillow. Raye left the room and called everyone to tell them what happened. An hour later, everyone was at the temple, including Darien. Serena told them the same story that she told Raye and everyone remained silent. After she was done, she looked at them. - "What are we gonna do", she managed to say. - "Raye, said Amy, did you get any bad vibes last night?" - "No... not exactly", she replied. - "What do you mean not exactly", screamed Serena, furious. - "Calm down Serena", Raye whispered. "I did sense something last night but it wasn't an evil presence". - "Something wrong here", said Mina, looking at Serena. A few seconds later, Serena was feeling dizzy. "What wrong with me", she said to herself, holding her head with her hands. - "Serena, said Darien worried, what's wrong?" Serena did not answer as she removed her hands from her forehead, staring at Darien. - "What the...", Raye whispered. - "Darien, I...I don't feel.." she managed to say before collapsing on the grown. - "Serena", they all yelled as they pick her up from the grown. Staring at her, Raye put her fingers on her forehead. "a crescent moon" she whispered. - "What does this mean", said Amy, worried. "We should..." - "Look out", yelled Lita as a energy blast mist them by not much. - "Did you miss me", said an evil voice. - "Antares", Raye said, furious. "Transformed!!" "Mars Crystal Power" "Venus Crystal Power" "Mercury Crystal Power" "Jupiter Crystal Power" - "Tuxedo mask, Raye yelled, get Serena out of here". - "Right", he said, leaving the temple. - "Not so fast cape boy, I brought a friend today", Antares said, pointing at a woman with a dark robe and green eyes. - "Let me introduce myself, the woman said. I'm Mystifia, the sorcerer of all time. I was once a guardian of time like Pluto but I was banish from my world. This time, nothing will stop me" she said laughing. - "Mystifia, Antares said, get the princess while I take care of these sailor scouts". - "In your dreams pal", said Jupiter. - "Have it your way", said Antares, sending them a blast of dark energy. - "Look out" said Darien, holding on to Serena, sill unconscious. "Mars celestrial fire surround" "Venus love chain encircle" The attacks collapse together as the energy created a bright light, blinding the scouts. Raye turned away from the light and saw a image behind Tuxedo mask. - "Tuxedo mask", she yelled running in his direction, look out..." - "Forgot about me did you", Mystifia said, throwing an energy blast at him. - "Arrrrrgggg", he yelled, falling on the grown with Serena in his hands. "Mars flame sniper" The flames speeding toward the Sorcerer were absorbed into the woman. "You can't hurt me, said Mystifia laughing. My powers are much greater than yours". - "How can this be", said Jupiter. - "Lets all attack her at once", said Mercury. "Mars flame sniper" "Sparkling wide pressure" "Venus love and beauty shock" "Mercury aqua rhapsody" Mystifia jump out the way of the attacks and Antares hit them with a blast from behind. The girls screamed of pain as they felled on the grown. - "Back to business", said Mystifia, moving towards the princess. - "You can't have her", Darien managed to say while getting up. - "You're still alive", laugh Mystifia rising her staff towards Darien. - "Darien...look out...", whispered Serena, waking up. The staff hit Darien in the chest and he was thrown away from Serena. - "Get out of here Serena...", yelled Mercury, trying to get up. Serena got up but was to weak to run. A small red ball appeared in Mystifia's hand and she through it towards Serena. - "Nooooooo..." Serena screamed in pain as she was being wrapped by the energy. Trapped in the energy ball, Serena collapsed again under the terrible pain. The ball lifted up in the air, near Antares. - "You won't have her", said Jupiter rising from the grown. - "It's too late sailor scouts, Antares said, she is now mine as it was meant to be. Now, I have them both". - "Serena was right, said Venus, he does have Reeny". - "Reeny, said Antares laughing as he turned to Venus. I have her but not the way that you think". - "What do you mean", asked Mars. - "You see, said Antares, your dear princess in pregnant. Leading you to believe that I had Reeny was a way to get you off track and it work so well". - "Serena is not pregnant", screamed Mars. She would have told us about it". - "But she doesn't know...not yet. And now, I've the princess and her child. Nothing will stop me from ruling this planet" said Antares as he vanished with Mystifia and the princess. Everyone looked at they're selves while Mercury help Darien get up. Mars turned around and looked at Darien with her face all red. - "Is this true", she yelled at him. "You knew about this all the time, didn't you. Is she pregnant?" - "I don't know", he managed to say. - "How could she be pregnant if she didn't have sex with anyone ?", Venus asked. "This doesn't make any sense". - "You didn't, did you ?", Mars asked, looking at Darien. Darien turned his eyes away from Mars, not answering to the question. **************** - "Well, look who's up ?", said Antares, looking at the princess in a energy cage. - "Why have you brought me here", Serena asked. - "Why, he repeated, because you are gonna rule Crystal Tokyo with me. We will be one happy family : you, me and are daughter". - "Are daughter, the princess said, you must me kidding. I will never have a child with you !!" - "But it's too late, said Antares. You are already pregnant". - "I am not", she said firmly. Then, thinking about Darien, she realize that it might be possible. "This can not be" she thought. - "Believe me, he said, knowing what she was thinking, you are and we will rule together my dear princess. You better get used to the idea". - "I will never serve you !!!" she yelled at him. - "I'm not worried, he said, I have ways to make you change sides. Trust me". An evil laugh filled the room as he was walking away. Serena started to cry as she sat back on the floor of her cage. - "What am I going to do now..." _________________________ comments ?? send them to peneloppe@yahoo.com Chapter 6 : Will power After some time, Serena woke up but she was not in her cage. Trying to move, she notice that chains were attached to her wrists and feet. She pulled on them to break free but with no luck. - "Finally awake", a voice said. It's about time. I have plans for you". - "Antares...", she managed to said. Why are you doing this to me ?" - "Simple princess, he said. I want to rule earth and I need someone to rule with me. But don't worry, you will understand better soon". - "I will never join with you !!", she screamed at him. - "Let's find out how strong you really are", he said, rising his hands in the air. - "What are you doing", Serena asked, scared. With out answering, a blue light appeared, surounding Antares. In a flash, the light bounced back towards Serena. Feeling the pain from the light, Serena screamed. - "What are you doing", she asked again to Antares. - "I'm sorry to use a cruel way like this but I think that sharing are thought will make you understand how much I need you". Suddenly, images filled her mind. Pain, death... "I have to overcome his powers" she thought. "I can't let him get to me...I can't... Nooooooo....." ************************* Back at the temple, the girls and Darien were recovering from their injuries. Raye had called Heather (Sailor Pluto) and she told her what had happened. Heather told Raye to stay at the temple and that she would be there soon. They were all waiting in silence. No one had the courage to look at each other. - "What are we gonna do", whispered Mina. No one answer because they had no answer to give her. Suddenly, the door opened at Heather came in. The girls sighed in relief and they welcome her. - "Heather, started Amy, we are so glad that you are here. Serena was captured and she's..." - "Pregnant, cutting off Amy, I know. I could feel it". - "We have to get her back", said Raye. - "It's not gonna be that easy, said Heather. I could teleport you there but..." - "Then what are we waiting for, yelled Raye, we can't just stand here !!" - "I know but you must understand something before we leave, started Heather. I know that we could take out Antares but I'm more worried about Mystifia." - "Why is that ?", asked Lita. - "She was once one of us", whispered Heather. She was a guardian like myself once but she used her powers for wrong and she was banish from Pluto. Alot of time has past since and she is now stronger than ever. I am the only one that could stop her", she added, looking at the sky. - "There is more to this isn't there ?", asked Raye, noticing the change in Heather behavior. - "Yes...but that's between her and me", she said. - "This is all my fault", spoked Darien for the first time during this meeting. "Now she's gone and with are child. I will never forgive myself for this if something happens to her". - "Don't blame yourself, said Raye. You guys are in love and things like this happens to people who care about each other." Everybody looked at Raye in shocked. They never would have thought that she would say something like this. After a few moments, Raye stood up. - "let's go and get her back !!" - "Right", everyone said, getting up. - "Wait a minute, said Raye. Heather, do you know why Serena's crescent moon keeps appearing for no reason ?" - "She's grown up", Heather said, smiling. "She's beginning to accept her past life as the moon princess and, by doing so, her true self will emerge and that's what happening now. By doing so, her powers are also getting stronger and I don't like the idea that Antares has her. If he gets her to come on their side, we will not be able to bring her back". They all nodded as they left the temple to prepare for the finale battle. ************************ - "So princess, how do you feel now", Antares asked. Serena was on the floor, breathing fast and she was very weak. She looked at Antares, confused. - "I...I will never be a part of this, she managed to say. Never !!!" - "I know you will", laughed Antares. "It's gonna take some time but you won't be able to resist for ever". Serena stayed on the grown, to weak to get up. Antares released the chains and took her up in his arms. He opened a room and put Serena on the bed. Looking at room, Serena thought that it was quite lovely even if it was small. She also notice that light was coming from a window."We must still be on earth", she thought but she was to tired to think about it. Antares moved next to next and he sat on the bed. - "So beautiful...", he whispered while playing in her hair. His hands moved lower and they caressed her breasts gently. - "No...don't...", Serena said but couldn't move. Antares smiled and pulled up her dress slowly. She tried to struggle be couldn't. "This can't be happening, she said, crying. Darien, where are you..." Then, Mystifia came in the room and Antares got up. - "What is it", he yelled, angry. - "They are coming, she said. SHE is coming with them." - "Is the trap ready ?", Antares asked. - "Yes my lord", Mystifia answered with a smile. - "Good, now leave us", he said. Mystifia nodded and left the room. Antares turned back towards Serena and kissed her on the cheek. - "You're friends are coming my dear", he said to her. "But I'm afraid that they won't be able to save you. You see, I've prepared a little trap for them and believe me, they won't get away". On that, he left the room leaving Serena lying on the bed. She watch him leave as she put her hand on her stomach, still crying. - "I have to help them, she said, but how...." _______________________ comments ??? Send them to peneloppe@yahoo.com Chapter 7 : Death of the moon princess/New evil emerges - "Where are we", whispered Jupiter while crawling into a dark tunnel. - "We are at Antares's hideout, said Pluto. I discovered this when I was searching for Mystifia. It's an under grown hideout in the mountains, not far from your home". - "Do you think that they know that we are here", asked Mars. - "I'm not sure but..." - "Aaaahhhhhhh", they all screamed, falling from a trap door. As they hit the grown in pain, they tried to get up but couldn't. Some kind of force was pulling them near the grown. - "We can't move, yelled Mercury. Something is keeping us from doing so". - "We have to get out, screamed Venus. Look, there a door at the other end of the room". As they try to get to the door, it opened. - "Well, well, look what the cat drag in", laughed Mystifia. - "Guys, look out", yelled Tuxedo mask. - "You will not be needing those", said Mystifia, sending out a ray of light at them. - "Are pens, said Mercury as she transformed back into her own self, she has are pens". - "Noooo", yelled Venus. - "Now my friends, it's time for the big finally, said Mystifia holding the pens in her hand. I'm sure you are gonna enjoy this Sailor Pluto. I'm gonna let you watch your worst fears come to live and, after that, you are mine". On that, she teleport everyone to the main room. When they realize where they where, chains of energy where holding them to the wall. Mystifia wasn't there but Antares was. Raye noticed that the pens where on a table, on the other side of the room. - "Welcome Sailorscouts and Tuxedo mask at my home", he said. "I hope you enjoy your stay here but it's not gonna be very long", he added laughing. "Mystifia !!" - "Right here my lord", she said, carrying the princess. - "Serena", they all yelled. - "What do you want from her", yelled Raye trying to break free from the chains. - "I want her !! All of her !!", Antares answered. Serena was awake but she was too weak to say or do anything. She watch as her friends tried to break free from the chains. "What can I do", she whispered crying. Mystifia place Serena on a table. Serena turned her face one more time at Darien, knowing that this was the end. "I love you..." she whispered to him. Tears where rolling down Darien's face as he whispered back to his love the same thing. - "It is time", Antares said holding his hands in the air. "I call upon the great powers of the dark moon. Give me the power to turn the princess to me". An incredible burst of energy came down on Serena. She yelled as hard as she could but the pain kept getting greater. A few moments later, Serena collapsed on the table, not moving. Her clothes started to tear apart an a black dress to it's place. Her hair was now dark purple and her crescent moon was black. At that moment, the imperial silver crystal appeared. Serena raised her hands in the air, still unconscious, and a huge light came from it. A few seconds later, the light was gone and the crystal was now submerge with dark energy. With all of it's power gone and new powers in it's place, the crystal turned black. - "Nooooooo", yelled Darien. "Serenaaaaaaaa". - "It's too late", laugh Antares. "She is now mine". A few minutes later, the energy that hit Serena was gone. Everyone was watching her as she woke up from her dark sleep. She stood up and the girls where shocked. - "Your princess is dead", the dark voice coming from Serena said. "I'll be taking her place". - "This can't be", whispered Darien. "Serena..." - "Oh but it can", she said. "And I have a new name now. You can call me Anya, the goddess of death." - "Serena, Raye screamed, you have to overcome this evil". - "Like I said, your princess is now dead and she is not coming back, believe me". - "We failed", whispered Heather. She had lost the only hope for this planet. - "You have, Anya replied, and now, you will die". - "My dear, started Antares as he came closer to her, you may choose anyone you like to start with". Anya smiled at him, pleased. Antares put his arms around her and kissed her passionately. After a few seconds, he pulled away and said "who do you choose". Anya looked at the girls and Darien. She turn back to Antares and said "I want him to die first", pointing at Darien. - "Very well my dear", Antares said while Mystifia brought Darien in the center of the room, still in chains. On his knees, he look at her eyes. "They were so dark and cold", he thought. - "Serena", yelled Raye, you can't do this". - "You and him were meant for each other", said Mina. - "Serena, listen to us", yelled Lita. - "Serena, don't do this", screamed Amy. - "Serena, started Darien, I love you. Please, come back to me my love". Anya laugh as hard as she could. "You really think that this crap is working", she asked. Holding the dark crystal in her hands, she pointed it at Darien. A dark glow came from it. With a smile, she looked at the crystal and said "dark crystal, destroy him". On that, the energy formed a ball of dark light wich Anya was holding. - "Fairwell", she said laughing. - "Serenaaaaa, don't", the girls yelled. Still feeling guilty, he closed his eyes and waited for the energy to hit him. Anya look at him one last time and then she send flying into the air the energy wich was going right for him. The girls watch in horror what was going on but then, something appeared between Anya and Darien. - "Nooooooo, the little voice yelled, you can't do this, you just can't..." __________________________ comments ??? Send them to peneloppe@yahoo.com Chapter 8 : The final battle - "Please stop !!!! You can't do this mother, you can't", screamed the little voice. - "Reeny....", whispered Anya. The energy disappeared and Reeny gave Darien a big hug. Everyone was stunned by the event and they turned their eyes towards Anya. - "Mother, please listen to me...", said Reeny. - "Reeny...", repeated Anya, looking down on herself. - "Anya, screamed Antares, don't you see that it's a trap. This is not your daughter, this is a trick that they've plan to confuse you." - "Yes, it must be a trick", said Anya, raising her hands in the air. "You will all die !!" - "Not if we can help it", yelled someone. They all turned around and saw Sailor Neptune, Uranus and Saturn. "Serena, said Neptune, this is no trick. This is your daughter Reeny". - "Mommy....you're not an evil person, started Reeny. Don't you remember anything ?? Please mommy, I don't want to be evil.... I don't want to live like them", she added, pointing at Antares. - "This has gone far enough !! screamed Antares. Anya finish this once and for all". - "Yes....I must finish this...", said Anya. Calling upon her powers, a strong energy bolt formed over her head. - "Serenaaaa....", the scouts screamed together. - "I will finish this once and for all", she said. - "Do it now", Antares yelled. Anya through the energy bolt and everyone closed their eyes, not wanting to see what would happened. Darien held Reeny as hard as he can as she started crying. - "Antares !!! yelled Mystifa. Look out !!!!" - "Nooooooooo....", he screamed as he was being hit by the energy bolt. "This will not end this way.....!!" Darien opened his eyes and saw Antares on the floor, screaming in pain. He turned is head and looked at Serena. She was down on her knees, holding her head with her hands. - "Serena", whispered Darien. "Are you alright ?" - "I can't... think straight..., she managed to say. Help...me...please". - "Let me set you free mother", said Reeny. Raising her hands, the silver crystal appeared. She pointed it at Serena and closed her eyes. "Moon crystal healing power" The energy hit Serena and she began to transformed back into herself. Neptune and Uranus set free the other scouts while Saturn was getting their transformation's sticks. As the energy disappeared, a bright white light came over Serena, blinding everyone. When the light vanished, they saw Serena, back in her princess dress, laying on the grown. - "Serena, Darien yelled, running towards her. Serena, are you alright? Please wake up !" "Mercury crystal power" "Mars crystal power" "Venus crystal power" "Jupiter crystal power" "Pluto planet power" Having, their pens back, the scouts transformed. Mercury ran towards Serena, checking to see if she was alright. - "Is she....", whispered Darien. - "No, said Mercury, she alive but she is very weak. We have to get her out of here". - "This will not end this way", screamed Antares, back on his feet. "You will pay for what you have done. Powers of the dark moon, give me the strength to defeat my enemies". A black mist surounded Antares as he laughed. "Now, you will all die!!!" - "Sailorscouts, yelled Pluto, take care of Antares. Mystifia is mine". The other's nodded as they approached Antares. - "Darien, Reeny, said Mars, stay with Serena, we will handle this. Let's go guys !" - "I don't think so", said Antares laughing. "Behold the true power of the dark side!! Wild fire burn!!" "Mars flame sniper" "Sparkling wide pressure" The attacks hit each other but they were equal in power. The scouts combined their powers hoping to defeat Antares. "Mars flame sniper" "World shaking" "Sparkling wide pressure" "Deep submerge" "Venus love and beauty shock" "Mercury aqua rhapsody" The attacks went flying towards Antares and through him against the wall. They combined again but this time Antares got out of the way. "Dark wave surround" he yelled. This time the attack hit Mars, Venus and Neptune as they felled on the grown. Watching from behind, Reeny and Darien exchanged a worried look. - "I have to help... I must...", Serena whispered, waking up. - "Serena", Darien said. "Stay here, you can't help them you are too weak to fight." - "Mommy please... said Reeny. - "I have to...help them, she said, struggling to get up. They need me..." - "Serena...", Darien started to say but stop since he knew that he wouldn't be able to convince her. Helping her get up, he noticed that she was holding the silver crystal and it was white again. - "So Pluto", said Mystifia, how does it feel to be able to get your revenge ?" - "You killed my parents", yelled Pluto, angry. " You were banish because of that and now, you will pay for your crimes" - "We shall see", laughed Mystifia as she started her attack. "Silent wind" "Dead scream...." Sailor Pluto jumped out of the way but Mystifia got hit by the attack. Falling on her knees, she turned at Pluto who was getting ready for an other attack. - "Not this time Pluto", she whispered. "Shadow knight destroy". The attack hit Pluto and she felled on the floor. Meanwhile, the scouts that were left started to get weak. "We must stop him", said Uranus. - "I'll try, said Saturn. Silence glaive apply" Getting out of the way of the attack, Antares hit Saturn with an other attack and she went flying in the air, landing on the floor next to Mars. - "You will never get me, he said, NEVER !!!" - "That's what you think, said Serena, standing up with Reeny and Darien. I call upon the great powers of the moon... give me the strenght to stop this evil." MOON CRYSTAL POWER !!!! - "Nooooooo....", Antares yelled while the light of the crystal surrounded him. - "Now guys!!" "World shaking" "Sparkling wide pressure" - "Wait for us", said Mars, trying to get up. - "yeah..", said Mercury, Venus and Neptune. "Mars flame sniper" "Mercury aqua rhapsody" "Venus love and beauty shock" "Deep submerge" - "Nooooo... this can't end this way, yelled Antares. Nooooooo......", he screamed as he disappeared into the air. - "We did it, said Serena. Ahhhh...." - "Serena !!!!" The sailorscouts ran towards her but they were too late. Laying on the floor, Serena looked at Darien and smiled. - "I'm...sorry but...it had to be done", she managed to say. - "Serena..." - "Give up Pluto, said Mystifia, you will never defeat me". - "I...I will", she said, breaking free of the attack. - "That's impossible", screamed Mystifia. Hitting Mystifia with her staff, she stepped back and looked at her. "This is the end" "Dead scream...." The energy hit Mystifia with all of it's power. - "This is not over Pluto, she yelled, you will see me again....." as she disappeared. - "I don't think so", said Pluto, smiling. Looking behind her, she noticed that something was wrong. Running towards the scouts, she was terrified from what she saw. - "She dying, said Mercury, I don't what to do". - "Serena, whispered Darien, you can't leave me, please wake up". Everyone stood in silence while Neptune was helping Saturn to get up. - "I don't think that Saturn has enough strenght to heal her", said Neptune. - "But you can save her if you believe in yourselves", said Reeny. "You must believe". - "Uniting our powers might work", said Venus. - "Let's give it a try", said Jupiter. They all got up, forming a circle around the princess. They closed their eyes, each concentrating on their powers. "Mars healing power" "Mercury healing power" "Jupiter healing power" "Venus healing power" "Neptune healing power" "Uranus healing power" "Pluto healing power" "Saturn healing power" A circle of energy appeared, surrounding Serena, still not moving. After a few minutes, the scouts stopped sending out their energy because they were too weak. Everyone sat on the grown, looking at Serena. - "Did it work", asked Mars. - "Serena..., said Darien, wake up". - "Mmmm.... Darien..., she whispered softly. Did we win ?" - "Oh Serena, said Darien, holding her in his arms, we did". - "That's good...", she said. Everyone was very happy and they all gave her a big hug. - "Mommy, stared Reeny, I have to go now." - "I know honey", she said. - "Don't worry, I'll be here soon". On that, Reeny smiled one last time at Serena before vanishing away. - "I'm so happy". ************************ 9 months later.... - "Common Serenity, yelled Amy, push !!!" - "Argggg....", she screamed. - "One last push, said Amy. Push !!" Serenity pushed as hard as she could, holding on to Endymion's hand. - "It's over Serenity, said Amy, holding the new born. Here is your daughter", she said, laying the child on Serenity. Crying of joy, she held her baby. - "Welcome back Reeny", she whispered while her fingers were taking of the blood from her forehead. A small crescent moon was there, glowing in the light. She kissed Darien for a moment then he kissed his daughter. - "I am so happy", said Serenity. Her friends were standing around her, smiling. She was now Neo Queen Serenity, Queen of Crystal Tokyo. She was really happy. She had her friends, her love and her daughter. Most of all, peace was restored on earth.... _____________________ This is the last chapter to this story.
