Capture Of Mercury and 3 Guardians Revealed

Meanwhile, in the past, the sailor scouts were trying to defeat the minions from Nega-Crystal again. No one knew that they wanted Sailor Mercury, and they weren't going to find out. All of a sudden, every single person heard someone screaming 'no' in their minds. All at once, they knew it was Setsuna. "Sailor Pluto, what's wrong with you? Why are you screaming no?" Everyone asked at once. "I'm sorry Sailor Scouts. Setsuna is no longer able to hear you. She has been stripped of all her powers, has been forced to give up her place as the Guardian of the Gates of Time. New guardians have been placed there, and Setsuna is on the moon for all eternity to live with Jedite. I will tell Sailor Moon alone, whenever I find her, and when, or if, she finds you, she will relay this information to you."

"I must talk to the Sailor Pluto of the past as well. This is the Sailor Moon of the future, as you've already guessed. I shall talk to you again. By the way, let the Nega-Crystal leaders have Sailor Mercury. You will be powerless to stop it, and if it is stopped, you will change the whole future. Everything will happen sooner than planned, and everything will be rewritten. We cannot allow that to happen, unless you want us, here in the future, to disappear until history decides to let us appear again. No, the Nega-Crystal minions cannot hear me. I stopped allowing them to hear me after I told you of Setsuna. Good-bye for now Sailor Scouts. I shall help you whenever you need it." And with that, she left them to let the Nega-Crystal minions take Sailor Mercury.

"Can we actually believe her? She says she's from the future, but she might not be." Sailor Mars said. "No, I believe that she's from the future. She had the same voice as Sailor Moon, except it was a little more grown-up. Besides, she knew who Sailor Pluto was. We must not let what she said distract us. I'd like to know why Nega-Crystal wants me. I don't really want to leave you guys. She also knows exactly how the future will turn out, so we must believe her. I must go with them, but they will have to catch me. I'll use my speed. I'm not sure how long I can keep it up, but I won't give up easily. I'll see you whenever we meet again Sailor Scouts. You're all very dear to me, and I don't want anything to happen to you. Good-bye for now, my friends." And with her done speaking her part, Sailor Mercury took off running with the Nega-Crystal minions following her.

After about 2 hours, she finally grew too tired to keep up her speed anymore and collapsed on the ground. The minions saw this as an opening. They all rushed in, tied her up, and returned to Nega-Crystal with her. "She was not to be unconcious. Lady Beryl commanded us all to make sure she came back concious." General Jon said angrily. "We are sorry, my lord. We did not know she was unconscious. She used her speed for two hours and finally collapsed. We would have brought her back conscious otherwise. Here you go, my lord." And with them done speaking, Jon killed them all. As he was doing so, Sailor Mercury woke up. "I've got to remember to never use my speed for that amount of time again. Who are you? I can walk you know. Put me down!" Sailor Mercury said angrily.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that. You are tied up so that you can't run away. I'm General Jon of Nega-Crystal. I'm sure you're wondering why we wanted you and not the others, right?" Laura nodded her head. "We need you to think of ways for us to get the Sailor Scouts. I'll explain later. Now, you must go to sleep so that you'll have your strength back later on. You'll need training. Good night, Laura." A startled Laura fell asleep then, after puzzling over how he knew her true identity. "I'm terribly sorry for startling you, my love, but I knew you in my past life. I was once your lover, even though you were never taken by Nega-Crystal. Back then, I wasn't even part of Nega-Crystal. I was Mercury Knight. I'm still Mercury Knight, but I'm just the Evil Mercury Knight. I still love you dearly, even though I'm not supposed to feel anything but hate, I still feel love for you. I believe that I'm going to need Sailor Moon's help if I want to go back to your side, which I do. Very much so." Jon said, after Laura fell asleep, softly so that he wouldn't wake her.

Meanwhile, in the future, Neo-Queen Serenity was getting lectured for telling the past scouts that Setsuna had been banished, and letting the Nega-Crystal leaders hear. "Queen Serenity, I can't believe you were so stupid. How could you do that and let the Nega-Crystal leaders hear? You need to start thinking more often. I don't even know why King Endymion puts up with you." Char said angrily. "I know why I put up with her. Because she knew what she was doing. She knew that they were listening. She wanted them to hear. Setsuna may be her friend, but she betrayed her. None of the scouts know what happened, do they Serena?" Darien, King Endymion, asked. He was hoping that she would say that they don't know.

"No Darien. They don't know. I'm considering telling the scouts of the past so that they don't question me further. I know that it isn't considered smart, but they might need to know. They cannot question the queen, nor can they question the king. I know they will. They have always questioned Setsuna. Whether or not she had asked us ahead of time what to tell them, she was always questioned. Char, you are dismissed. King Endymion and I need to talk now." With that, Char left. "Now, Darien. I'd like it if I could tell the scouts what happened. I'd even go to the past and show them with the crystal. I'd also like to show the scouts that are here. Please, think about it and let me know. I'm going to the throne room, so that you can stay here to think about if I will be able to tell them."

Back in the past, Laura was waking up as Evil Sailor Mercury. The first person she saw was Jon. She thought that Jon was quite attractive. James had wazy blonde hair, blue-green eyes, about 5'7, was fairly strong, long muscular legs, and a grin that made him look like a pirate. The first thing they did when she woke up was kiss. Long, deep, and hard. "Jon, why do I feel as if I've known you before now. Before today even? I know you'll be a very important person in my life. I don't ever want to lose you. If you ever die, I know that I'll surely die. If I die, I'd like you to remember me always." Laura said shyly. Then, she withdrew. Jon immediately knew why. It was because of what she had just said to him.

"Laura, don't worry about you losing me or me losing you. I don't think that it'll happen for a few months yet. But neither of us will be dead. We will just be seperated for a few months or years. We'll find our way back to each other eventually." Jon assured her. "Jon! What are you doing? You shouldn't be holding her like that. That's what I'm here for, remember?" Rei said walking into the room casually. "Oh, no Rei. We've been over for a long time. I don't ever want to feel you near my bed again. I don't love you. I don't think I ever did. I know who I love, and I have her right here."

"Why does she get your love? What's so special about her? She's just a little mousy, quiet, shy person. What do you see in her? I"m much better for you. She has short blue hair, blue eyes, is only 5'6, and doesn't look all that strong. Why do you want her? I'm here, ready for you. I'm the same height as her, but I have long black-blue hair, and gold-green eyes. I'm beginning to think that you don't even belong in Nega-Crystal. I don't think you ever have, or ever will, with your feelings." Rei complained.

"Jon, don't worry about me. If you want to, go with her. I'll stand aside for your happiness, but not hers. Never hers. You know Rei, you remind me of someone I knew a while ago. Perhaps it's only my imagination, but I do feel like I knew you before today. Jon, where will I be staying?" Laura asked quietly. "You'll be in my room, with me. For now, we must go before Lady Beryl. Come now. We must not be late. Follow Rei." Jon said commandingly.

Much too surprised at his answer, she, for once, followed meekly. She didn't know why it hurt her so much to learn that the new girl would be staying in his room. She was thinking so hard about it, that she didn't realize that she had asked someone about it. "No, I'm afraid that he'll never know of your love for him. He loves only one person. That person loves him. You joined Nega-Crystal in hopes of getting him to notice that you were gone and that he would realize that he loves you, not her. Do you remember the Crystal Millenium?" "Oh dear. I'm going crazy, aren't I? I'm hearing voices in my head. Yes, I do remember the Crystal Millenium now that I think about it. I remember that I was to protect the Princess of Mercury, but, when she took the only man I felt that I would ever love, away from me, I joined Nega-Crystal. I don't know why, but I think the new girl was right. I think we knew each other, even before we had met today. The Princess of Mercury was named Laura, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Do you remember anything else about the Mercury Princess?" "I'm beginning to remember what she looks like. She has short blue hair, blue eyes, and was about 5'6. Wait a second, you mean we have the Mercury Princess with us? Oh man, Lady Beryl will be so happy. She'll finally be able to kill one of the princess' that was so annoying to her in the Crystal Millenium." Rei said excitedly. "No! Beryl must not find out that the Mercury Princess is in Nega-Crystal. If she does, your dreams will be haunted until you die. Now, I know you won't believe me, but I have ways of going through what people have heard without having to talk to them. You do realize that I learned of your love for Jon by reading your mind, right? You didn't just think it. I must go now, but you will meet me soon enough. Good-bye."

Rei realized that she had been thinking way too much about her love for Jon lately and not enough on her job. From now on, even though she knew that once in a while she'd make sure that she would try to get Jon to turn against Laura. That night, she was so tired from her training that she didn't even try to get Jon turned against Laura.

Meanwhile, in Jon's room, Laura and Jon were getting ready for bed. Laura was really uncomfortable, because there was only one bed and she wasn't sure where she'd sleep. "Don't worry. We'll both fit in the bed. You have no need to worry about anything happening unless you want it to." Jon assured her. "What if I told you that I wanted things to happen, but I'm too shy to start it myself?" "I'd probably tell you not to worry and that I'd take care of everything. All you need to do is let me know that you want something to happen, tell me when, and I'll do my best to help you out. But for tonight, let's get to sleep and get used to the idea of having another person in bed with you. I know I need to get used to it. Good-night Laura." Jon said quietly.

Meanwhile, the scouts were trying to figure out who had told them to let Sailor Mercury get captured. Why did we have to let her get captured? I just don't understand it. Maybe, we shouldn't have listened to that person. We don't know who she is, we don't know if she's on our side, and we don't know why she wanted us to let her get captured. "Don't worry Char. Everything will work out in the end. They need her to figure out how to get you. They don't have enough knowledge in their own little minds to figure it out for themselves. Laura will be fine, they won't hurt her. I know of someone in there that will protect her. He is just like you guys, I mean, where you'll protect Serena. He'd give his life to protect Laura. He won't have to, but he would if needed." Serenity explained. "Well, if they're trying to get us, then why make us let them have our smartest scout. I know for a fact that if Serena had been here, she wouldn't have let them take her. How did you know my name?" Char asked angrily.

"Calm down Char. I know everyone's name. I know Kirsty is Sailor Jupiter, Angel is Sailor Venus, you Char, are Sailor Mars. I let them take her because she's going to give them plans that will work, but if I can help you, I'll be able to get you three remaining scouts out of danger each time. I must go now. I shall talk to you again later. No, you may not know my name. Good-bye Char." With that, Serenity left. She left Char wondering how she had known that she was going to ask who was talking to her, but by the time she was normal again, the mysterious person had left. I need to get some sleep. She went to bed latest of all and got up earliest of all every night that the scouts slept over. Tonight she went to bed at 2. She knew she'd be up again at 5.

Back in Nega-Crystal, Rei was trying to find a way to get Jon to stop seeing Laura. Everything that she had tried so far hadn't worked. "I know. I'll get someone to kiss Laura, right when I know that Jon will walk into that area. It's a perfect plan. It has to work." She whispered. Later on that day, she talked to Greg, one of her acquaintances. Laura was in the room she shared with Jon, waiting for him to get back, when the door opened and Greg walked in.

"Hello Greg. Is there something you need? I'm really just waiting for Jon to get back. I need to tell him something." Laura said, known as Lita to everyone in Nega-Crystal. "Of course, Lita. Jon is on his way here right now. But, there is something I must do." With that said, Greg quickly walked up to Laura and kissed her on the mouth, long, hard, and deeply. At first, he thought she really liked it. Everything is going according to plan, just as Rei hoped. Suddenly, she started pushing him. She was fairly strong for someone her size. She was punching him, hurting him, but still he held on.

Just then, Jon walked in. He saw that Laura was trying to get Greg off of her, but Greg wouldn't let go. Jon pulled Greg off of her, then started threatening him. Everyone in Nega-Crystal knew that whenever Jon threatened someone, he meant it. He was threatening to tear Greg apart, if he ever went near her again. Then he said that he would bring him back to life just so he could tear him apart again. Greg walked calmly out of the room, because he knew that Rei would be out there waiting. As he thought, Rei was waiting. She hadn't heard a word that Jon had said to him, and he didn't say a word to her about the incident as he went by.

Not really expecting what she saw, Rei walked in the room asking if he was okay. Then, she saw that both Jon and Laura were glaring at her. "What are you looking at me like that for? I didn't do anything wrong." Rei said defensively. "We both know what you tried to do to us. We aren't going to let you do that to us. We will now be on our guard even more than usual. I told you, I love the one in my arms, not you. I never have, I never will. I don't want to see you near me. In fact, just to insure that you never try anything again, I'll kill you."

"Jon, no! You can't kill her. I can't let you kill her. She will be important to me in the future. In fact, right now, I"m going to make sure that she'll be useful to us both. Hold her with one of your powers, but don't electrocute, drown, or kill her." Laura said forcefully. "Very well. I shall always do as you say." Suddenly, Rei found that she couldn't move. The more she tried, the tighter the bonds got. Finally, she stopped struggling. "Good, now I can continue on with what I was going to do." Just as she was about to give Rei a special mark that meant she was to be the protector of Laura and Jon, she heard someone talking to her.

"No Laura. You must not do that to her. She is not ready for that yet, and you do not have enough power in you to do that. Even though you are filled with dark energy, your power has gone down considerably. I know that you're wondering what every one of the other scouts is wondering. How do I know who you are, and who am I, right?" Serenity said."Yes, that is exactly right. How did you know what I was going to ask? No one that I know of has the power to do that except for one person." Laura thought in reply. "And whom exactly is that? Rei couldn't even figure it out, but you're a lot smarter than she is, so this shouldn't surprise me."

"The only person that can do that is Serena. This is Serenity, isn't it? Neo-Queen Serenity. Why did you let them just take me? I know that I'm evil, but why can't I be curious?" Laura complained. "I let them take you, because it had to happen. If it didn't happen, none of what's going to happen in the future would be here. It's almost time for you to go to sleep. I'll leave you so that you can have your fun tonight, and so that you can think about what I told you. By the way, did you know that Serena is on her way back? You must not tell anyone who I am. If you do, they'll try to contact me and that can't happen yet." With that, Serenity left.

"Jon, let her go. I cannot do anything to her yet. I've been talking to someone and they told me that if I do this now, then everything will be messed up. Rei, you may go as soon as you are free. Whenever I can, I shall finish what I started today.Good-night Rei. I shall see you tomorrow morning." Rei was freed and she quickly left the room scared of what would happen were she to stay or were she to say anything to someone about it.

"Well, now what do we do Laura? Do you want to keep training during the night, like you have been doing for the past month, or do you want to sleep tonight?" Jon asked. "Let's skip the training. I don't have the energy for it tonight. Let's just have a little fun here instead. We can try the idea that you had when I first got here. Would you like to try?"

"Sure. I think I'd love to try." Jon replied. Jaime thought it was just a little too eager for her. "Calm down. I'm sure you can act like your normal self, can't you?" Laura chastised him. "Of course Laura. I'll certainly try to do that, just to appease any fears you have about this." He replied sheepishly.

Laura let Jon get ready for bed while she went to see what Lady Beryl needed. When Laura got back, Jon was in bed waiting for her. Laura got ready for bed, then once she got into bed, she immediately kissed Jon passionately. As they kissed, they were running their hands up and down each other's body. Jon got impatient with her nightgown being in the way, and he told her to sit up so that he could remove it.

Then he started paying attention to her chest with his mouth. First one side, then the other, slowly moving downward. Laura gasped slightly as 2 of his fingers slipped inside her. He started moving his fingers in and out of her slowly, and then just a little faster, until she couldn't handle it and she wanted more. Laura gasped a little more as his mouth joined his fingers. Once she let him know she'd had enough, he moved up her body and kissed her as he slipped inside. She cried out softly in pain and tried to pull back, but Jon wouldn't let her, then Laura sighed as the pleasure washed over her.

He started to move in her slowly, letting her savor all the pleasure she can. He started kissing her passionately again, while moving faster. Both were so consumed with each other, that they didn't care who heard or saw them. They were watching the pleasure and all other emotions going across the other's face. Finally, the passion overtook them. They started moving faster together. They reached their climax at the same time, kissed softly, and fell asleep satisfied and happy in each others arms.

"Angel, I don't know what we're supposed to do. We can't fight our new enemy until Serena gets back, and we don't even know when that'll happen. We don't have Laura here to figure out what we need to do. We don't have Serena here to help us fight the battles. We need them back, and whenever we fight, Kirsty is gone too." Char told Angel.

"I'd just like to know where it is that she goes. If she's scared to fight, then she needs to tell us. I don't know how much longer we'll be able to fight without her. The enemy is getting stronger every single time we fight." Angel replied. "Well, it looks like we better get ready for another fight. Here's the enemy now. Wonder what kind of minion the enemy sent us this time."

They step outside just as the enemy sends an attack. They aren't sure what kind of attack it is, but they know that they don't want to find out. "Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, how nice of you to finally join us." This startles Angel and Char, because they hadn't even transformed when they went outside. "You may as well transform now. It's useless to try to hide your true identities when I know them." They both stared up in the air in amazement. Their attacker was Sailor Mercury.

"All right then. If you want us to transform, we will." Char said. "Char! What are you doing? You realize that once they know who we are, they'll be able to come after us, right? I don't care what you say, I'm not transforming Char." Angel said heatedly. "We have to. Don't you get it? I think I figured out this first game. If we don't transform right now, then we're going to die without even having a chance.This is a chance that I'm going to have to take. I'll understand if you want to stay in your normal clothes, but I've got to transform and try to beat them."

With her done saying that, she took out her transformation stick and yelled out her saying. "Mars Heart Crystal Power, Make-Up!" "Venus Heart Crystal Power, Make-Up!" They both yelled at once. In their place Super Sailor Mars and Super Sailor Venus stood. "Finally, we'll see some action around here. I know what powers you scouts have, so I've made two minions. One for each of you, but the only catch is that the minion you fight have powers that you are weak against. Minions! Come forth and defeat these pathetic Sailor Scouts! Good-bye now scouts."

"Oh great, just what we need. Would you like to just double team them? Perhaps we could win that way." Sailor Venus suggested. "That won't work Angel. I know of only one way for this to work." Char and Angel looked around them, only to have their gaze land on Sailor Moon. She was back, but why? How had she gotten here without them knowing it? How long was she going to stay this time? "I shall answer your questions when the time is right. For now, I have a question of my own that needs an answer. Do you both trust me to do what I've got to do to beat them?"

"I trust you Sailor Moon. I have one question though." "Don't ask right now Angel. I will answer why I'm here, how long I'll be here, how I got here without you knowing it, and how I knew that you were in trouble later. I know you both have those questions going through your mind right now, but I'll answer them later. Sailor Mars, do you trust me?" Both of the scouts are startled to find out that Serena can read minds. "Why should I trust you? You left us when we needed you most. You didn't even stay long enough to tell us how you had gotten hurt." "You never gave me the chance. Very well then. Sailor Venus, this fight will be between the minions and us two. Sailor Mars doesn't trust me enough to help us. I need you to concentrate all of your energy, while I do the same. An orange aura should appear around you, while a white, silver, and black aura appears around me." Serena didn't have to concentrate long at all, since she already had concentrated most of her energy. A little while after Serena had her aura around her, Angel had her aura.

Sailor Mars watched in amazement as they both merged. "Venus and Moon Heart Crystal Power, Make-Up!" Serena yelled with her voice, as well as Angel's. She appeared in a sailor fuku of red, silver, orange, blue, and pink. "You shall be defeated. Sailor Mercury, why don't you send something stronger after I've defeated these two? Moon Love Chain Encircle! Moon and Venus Love-Me Chain! Moon and Venus Crystal Elimination!" With that, they defeated both of the minions. Suddenly, Sailor Mercury appeared above them. She didn't look all that happy either.

"How did you get here? Where did Sailor Venus go? How did my minions get defeated?" "I defeated them Sailor Mercury. I'd like to know why you think that you can defeat me when I'm already stronger than you are. I've become stronger in the past 5 years. Tell your leader that I'd like to battle her when I'm able to. Right now, I can't."

Sailor Mercury left to do as she was told. Sailor Moon went back to her normal form, and Sailor Venus appeared right beside her. Both of them appeared to be in excellent shape, but Sailor Moon was looking a little pale. "Sailor Moon, are you all right? You're looking a little pale." Sailor Venus said. "I'm fine, but I've got to go. I'll be back as soon as I can be. I'm not supposed to be here right now. Darien will be mad if he finds out I was here after he told me to let you fight your own battles. From now on, I shall do exactly as he says. Sailor Mars does not trust me, and I've already gotten stronger from merging with you. I'll see you around Sailor Scouts. Good-bye." With that, she suddenly disappeared.

"So, how do you think she does that? Why did she look so pale, and sound nervous when she told us that she was fine? What's Darien doing with her? Was she lying about that? Why would he want her? He can have someone like Setsuna instead." Char wondered aloud. "Gee Char, do you actually care about her? I mean, you don't trust her because she left, and it was because of us that she left. Why do you even care? She might not need us for any of the battles after this. We just need to figure out how to get Sailor Mercury back. We'll do that later though, only because of the fact that we just battled and everyone is looking at us funny because we're walking through looking in the shop windows wearing our sailor fukus. We should leave and detransform."

They both went back to the temple and detransformed. "Now can we go window shopping?" Angel asked impatiently. "No, we have to find out what to do about Sailor Mercury. We'll do that after we sleep, since it's almost midnight." "Very well. Let's sleep for now. Good night Char." Angel said. "Good night Angel." Char said sleepily.

"Lita, how much energy did you get from the sailor scouts?" "None, my lady. Sailor Moon appeared before I could take any of their energy. I guess she merged with Sailor Venus and defeated the minions I had. She gave me a message as well. She'd like to battle our leader when she can, but she can't right now. I will get energy from her next time." "Very well. I am only keeping you because we need you to figure out ways to kill the sailor scouts. You are dismissed. You may leave now."

Laura was only too glad to get out of there. She still didn't understand why the sailor scouts had to be defeated. She had asked Jon why they needed to be defeated, but he always said that it was because it was an order. She knew that the scouts were now her enemies, but they had once been her friends. She was very disturbed that night, and didn't know what to do about it. She decided that she would think about it later.

"Laura, what's wrong? Did Rei say something to upset you? Tell me." Jon demanded. "No, she didn't do anything to me. There's nothing wrong. I swear. Can we please just drop this subject. I'd rather do something else." Laura said, then smiled seductively. "What do you have in mind? Would you like training or pleasure tonight?"

"I'd really like pleasure. We can train tomorrow night. Shall we begin?" Laura begins to kiss him. Softly at first, then a little harder, then harder letting him feel her passion. She moves down his body, taking his clothing off before she goes too far. Slowly, she pulls his pants and boxers off. Surprising him and herself, she kisses him softly. Then, she takes him in her mouth fully. After she does this for a while, the pleasure begins to be much for him, he grabs her head, holds it in place, and starts moving forward and back faster and faster, moaning the whole time.

Making sure that he uses his power of the wind, he puts a wall up around himself so that no one can hear him as he screams. When he had finally finished his release, he realized what Laura had done and apologized to her for what he had done. "Don't worry about it Jon. I wanted to do that. I didn't know what I was doing, I just let me instincts guide me. Perhaps I shouldn't have been so bold. Not many guys like it when the girl is bolder than they are. Do you have a problem with it?" Laura asked tentatively.

"No, not a single problem with it. I was hoping that someone would do that. I can't always take the lead, but now I'm glad that I didn't have to. In all of my other relationships I've had to take the lead every single time." Suddenly Rei stormed in. "OH, SO NOW YOU TOOK THE LEAD IN EVERY RELATIONSHIP, HUH? YOU NEVER TOOK THE LEAD IN THE RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAD. I'M NOT SURE WHAT I EVEN SAW IN YOU. MAYBE WHAT I SAW WERE YOUR LOOKS, OR MAYBE YOUR POWER. I HAD A FEELING THAT YOU COULD HAVE BECOME EVEN MORE POWERFUL THAN BERYL, AND I'D BE BY YOUR SIDE THE WHOLE TIME. SINCE YOU TAKE THE LEAD IN ALL RELATIONSHIPS, THEN WHAT WAS THAT LAST NIGHT WE WERE TOGETHER? I THINK THAT I'M THE ONE THAT TOOK THE LEAD. You always seem to find a way to lie. You can use your powers to get rid of Beryl or you can use your powers to get rid of the scouts first, then Beryl. Your choice, but either way, I'm telling Beryl your little secret unless you take me back." With that said, she walked out of the room to give him time you think about what she said. She thought that he would choose her because of what she held over his head.

"So, what are you going to do?" Laura asked curiously. "Simple. I'll just have to kill her tonight." "No. That cannot happen. If that happens, everything we know right now will change. Do the only thing you can. No, Jon. You don't need to take her back. Laura, do you remember when I told you to stop trying to do something to Rei that would make her be on your protector? You must do that now. I can control her mind long enough for her to get here and for you to keep her still with your power." Suddenly Rei walked in. Her eyes looked like she was in a daze.

"Ready Jon? I need you to use your powers to hold her once again. Put a wall up around her too. I don't think we need anyone hearing her scream with what I'm going to do to her." Laura said. "So, what exactly are you going to be doing to her?" Jon asked. "I'm just going to make her serve us. She'll act like she's serving Beryl, but she'll be ours. When I'm done with her, then I'm sure we can kill her." Suddenly, a blue light appeared around Laura and Rei. A black mercury sign showed briefly on Laura and Rei's foreheads. Jon thought, What have I done to my beautiful princess? She used to be such a light-hearted, easygoing, carefree girl with no evil in her body. This never should have happened.

"What would you like me to do, mistress? I shall do anything you ask of me." Rei said. "I think you shall tell Beryl that we would like to see her. Not right now though, first let Jon and I talk. Jon, lets go to this side of the room so we can speak."

"What do you think you're doing? You want to see Beryl? What are you going to do when you see her?" "Destroy her." Laura said simply. "How do you plan on doing that? No one is that strong. Not you, nor me." Jon said incredulously. "See, that's where you're wrong. I have the power to defeat her. No one ever believed me when I said that I would take care of it." Laura exclaimed. "Well, that's because everyone knows that you don't have the power. We all have ways to gauge how much power someone has. I'm sorry to say that you don't have enough power to defeat her. I've been gauging your power since you started out here and even though it has increased incredibly, it isn't enough yet. Everyone that has tried to defeat the queen has failed. The best advice that I can give you is that you need to wait for your friends help. Tell Rei that you just need her to act like she always does, but that she is still under your power." Jon explained patiently. "Very well. Just ruin my fun, why don't you? Rei, come over here please. I have decided what you will do. You will look, act, and talk like nothing is wrong with you, but you will still be under my power. You will do my bidding, without complaint, when asked and you will do Jon's bidding, without complaint, when asked. Is that understood?" "Yes, mistress. I am to do your's and Jon's bidding, without complaint when asked. I am to act, look, and talk like nothing is wrong with me, but I am still under your power." Rei replied quietly, then walked out of the room.

Suddenly, one of the guards ran into the room to inform them that the remaining Sailor Scouts were trying to get into the Nega-Crystal headquarters to get their friend back. No one but Laura and Jon knew who they were talking about. "I must find out what they want with me. I'll only go back to their side if you are with me and if Sailor Moon has returned and I see her for myself. Let me do a scan. I'll be able to see if she is with them. Nope. Although one of them is dressed like Sailor Moon, none of them are Sailor Moon. They want to fool me. I cannot let them succeed." "I shall help you get rid of them, but not kill them, correct, my love?" Jon said. Rei heard this and felt envious of the love that was between them. She decided that night that if Jon were to be her's again, she would have to kill her mistress, no matter what. She immediately began to form a plan in her mind when she remembered only a second too late that they could read her mind and there was no way to stop them. Suddenly, Rei found herself tied up, but not with ropes. The air around her had been solidified and the more she struggled, the tighter everything became.

Venus and Mars found this funny and started to gigle, then laugh outright at her. There was a female trying to get free of something and she couldn't, but there was nothing there that they could see. Venus and Mars were waiting for Sailor Moon to show up, but she didn't. Somehow, Venus knew that Darien found out about her going to help them and was making sure that she didn't try this time.

Meanwhile, Darien and Serena had just found her three remaining guardians. They introduced themselves as Shawn, Austin, and Gilbert. Shawn was about Darien's height, with brown hair and lovely brown eyes. Austin and Gilbert were the same height as Shawn. Austin had green eyes and black hair. Gilbert had dark blue eyes and black hair. While Serena thought he was the cutest one of them all, she admitted that Austin was cute, and that Shawn had beautiful brown eyes. No matter what she thought about them, she knew that Darien was the best looking of them all. With his height being 6'3", his jet black hair, and his deep, dark, midnight blue eyes, he was handsome.

Suddenly everyone found themselves in the middle of a battle between the evil Sailor Mercury and Sailors Mars and Venus. "Serena, merge with one of them to help them win." Darien urged her. "No. I know what I must do. I need to go somewhere that they cannot hear me so that I may transform." Serena and Darien walked to an alley as she was saying that. "MOON ETERNAL POWER, MAKE-UP!" Serena whispered. Darien watched, entranced, as Serena transformed in blue, white, and yellow. Super Eternal Silver Sailor Moon stood before him is her sailor fuku of a white skirt with lines of blue, pink, and yellow near the bottom. Her bow in back was longer, while the bow in front held her silver crystal in her silver heart locket. She had longer wings on her back. Instead of her tiara, she had the moon symbol, shining brightly. Her earrings were of crescent moons. On her choker, her stone was proudly shining.

"STOP RIGHT THERE SAILOR MERCURY! I WILL NOT LET YOU HARM MY FRIENDS NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY YOU WILL OR WILL NOT DO!" Sailor Moon shouted, then spoke softly so that Mercury may hear reason. "Sailor Mercury, please. Do not do this. Your place is with your friends, not with Nega-Crystal. Listen to reason. No one here will hurt you. Mars, Venus do not try anything otherwise she'll kill you, isn't that right Sailor Mercury?" "That is correct Sailor Moon, but how did you know that I would kill them if they tried anything?" Sailor Mercury asked.

"It was just a guess. I knew that I was right the moment the shock was on your face. If you honestly want to go up against me, go ahead and try. I know that now, you're stronger than when you were with us. Do you want to try to go up against me?" Sailor Moon taunted. "You know, I'm sick of you trying to imply the fact that I can't beat you. I want to battle you, only to show you that I can defeat you." Sailor Mercury answered angrily.

Everyone watched in amazement as Sailor Mercury powered up to half of her power. Everyone but Darien knew that Sailor Moon would fall. Darien knew that his beloved would succeed in killing Sailor Mercury if she had to. "I really don't want to have to destroy you Sailor Mercury, but if need be I will." Sailor Moon threatened. "Ha! Like you could ever defeat me. I'm probably 20 times stronger than you. Let's go. If you can get me on the ground and hold me there, then I'll believe that you can actually beat me." Sailor Mercury said.

Suddenly, Sailor Moon was engulfed in silver and black light. "No, this wasn't supposed to happen." Luna said. When the lights were gone, the moon symbol that was on her forehead was a silvery color, outlined in black, instead of gold. Her choker was silvery black. Her skirt was black and silver. Her front bow was silver, while her back bow was black. Sailor Mercury quickly checked how powerful she was. "Ha! You're not anymore powerful than you were before your outfit changed."

The scouts watched in amazement as Sailor Moon just stood there as Sailor Mercury charged at her. "Sailor Moon! Look out! You'll never dodge that in time now! You're dead." All of these were yelled by Venus and Mars. Darien had to put his hand over his mouth to stop himself from laughing at Sailor Mercury's blindness. "Anything you find funny in particular Darien?" Sailor Moon asked mentally. "No, not at all." Venus and Mars looked at him like he was crazy for talking to himself, but, they still kept one eye on Sailor Moon as Mercury charged again and again. Suddenly, Mercury fell down, and faster than anyone, including Darien, could see, Sailor Moon was on her holding her down. "So, now do you believe that I can beat you?" Sailor Moon taunted.

"Never will I believe that you can beat me. I know that I can get up anytime I want to." Sailor Mercury said. Sailor Moon replied calmly. "Oh, really? You want to try to get up then? I'll even make it easier for you. I'll get off of your back and you can try." Venus and Mars watched as Sailor Moon made the mistake of getting off of Sailor Mercury's back. Sailor Moon floated back by Darien and smirked at him, though she still knew the scouts were watching Sailor Mercury struggle to get up. They watched as Sailor Moon then turned around and Sailor Mercury was up in the air and floating towards Sailor Moon. "Now, do you realize how stupid you are to challenge me? I've gotten at least 40-80 times stronger than when I was here. I thank you for letting me be free. You guys were always shielding me, never letting me fight my own battles, always pushing me out of the way of danger because I was the blasted princess. Never again will you do that." Sailor Moon threatened.

Everyone, Darien included, looked at Sailor Moon with surprise. They had never known she felt that way. They knew it was their job to protect the princess, so that's what they were doing. "No one ever thought to ask me how I felt. No one cared, not even you Darien, to see how I was doing with you guys shielding me. Why didn't you ask me? I stood by, pretending to be a klutzy crybaby when what I wanted to do was act like myself. I knew that I was smarter than Ami, I knew what you were all thinking about me, I could cook better than Lita, I knew more about love than Mina. I could have been on time. The only thing I could not do was stop eating as much as I had. The only reason I ate that much, though, was because of the Silver Crystal. You never even thought to ask me how I felt when you guys said that I ate too much for someone my age. Darien, I need to talk to you alone. I will not detransform because I don't trust anyone here. After how I was treated when I was told to leave, why should I? I won't take an 'I'm sorry' either. You must try to find out what I'm like now so that you can make me happy again." Sailor Moon said, without much emotion for the second time since they've known her.

Darien and Sailor Moon walked away, leaving the scouts to stare after them in surprise. Darien because he didn't ask Serena about how she felt, because of how strong she'd gotten, how she could have been better at everything they did, and how she learned to hide her emotions from them. "What would you like to say, Serena?" Darien said, quietly. "You never knew, did you?" Serena asked, for the first time with any emotion in her voice, besides anger. "Knew what?" "That one night we were together. I got pregnant with your child. I traveled for about 7 months, but then had to stay put so that I wouldn't harm the baby. For 5 years, I've raised our child alone. Not once did you come to see me. Not once, did you try to find me, until the Sailor Scouts needed my help. I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to help me, tired of people using me. You want to see your daughter, Darien?" Serena asked sweetly. Too sweet for Darien. "Will you actually allow me to? You leaving that night was not allour fault Serena. You should have been there on time. I don't care what you say. Nothing you say will change what happened. The scouts and I almost died without your help. You were just a klutzy, late, lazy, crybaby." Darien said angrily, then instantly regretted it.

"So, me getting attacked was my fault?! I don't think so. I was going to let you see our daughter Darien. You want the truth of what happened that day? You won't believe anything I say, but would you believe the crystal? I don't care what you think of me anymore. I still love you, though I'm crazy to. Want to know something crazy, at least to me? You still love me too, and you're trying so hard not to. You will not DARE to come near me until you apologize for what you said today, got it?" Serena said angrily. "Never will your daughter see you treat me like you did just now. She thinks that you're this great person that would never hurt me. She doesn't know the truth. So many times when I lived here 5 years ago, you hurt me. You hurt me everytime you looked away from me when I was trying to tell you something that was interesting to me. You hurt me just now with what you said. You saw the wounds for yourself. I could not have made those wounds myself. I'm not even going to say anymore on that subject. But I swear to you, if you ever come near my house without first finding me and apologizing to me for how you treated me, you'll pay dearly. By the way, the remaining scouts are going to ask you what I wanted to tell you. You had better tell them the truth. See you around." With that, Serena calmly detransformed and walked away. As she was walking away, she warned Darien, who was thinking of attacking her, for what she had just said, from behind, "I wouldn't try anything with my back turned if I were you. I don't need to shout out my transformation just to become Sailor Moon. I could kill you with one hit." And she calmly walked to her house.

"Jason, please do me a favor. If someone named Darien shows up and says that he's here to see his daughter, please have him wait outside, lock the door, and call me. I'll tell you then if he's able to see Hotaru. If he persists, then tell him to come wait in the living room and take Hotaru to her room. Then tell him that you were looking for her, but then you remembered that she had gone to a friends house the night before. Ask any male or female that comes to the door what they want and if they say to see Hotaru, then tell them she's not home. If I need to, I'll pay you more." Serena then got two drinks ready, one for herself and one for Jason. She didn't expect Jason to be part of Nega-Crystal, but he was. At that moment, he was telling the leader that he couldn't return right now because the person he was working for was having a drink with him. The one thing he didn't count on was having to keep his guard up around Serena because he didn't know that she could read minds. No one knew. He couldn't ever read her mind to find out if she was Sailor Moon or not because, even when she was asleep, she kept her guard up. Right at this moment, she was trying to think of a way to get rid of Jason, without getting his curiousity, or his suspicions, up.

"Jason, would you mind terribly if I sent you to my friend's place in California? He needs help, and I'm the only one he'll turn to. I can't go to him myself because of the business I have here." Jason replied, "Sure, I'll go. I just need a few days to get loose ends tied up here, and then I'll go. Would you mind terribly if I started getting ready now? I need to run to a few places real quick." "Sure, no problem. I need to tell my friend that you'll be showing up soon anyway, so go ahead and get your loose ends tied up while I call him." With that, Serena went to her room, and called Justin. Meanwhile, Jason had teleported to Nega-Crystal headquarters and was getting instructions on what to do. "Justin, you need to keep your guard up around him. I know that you don't normally need to, but with him, you do. He's part of Nega-Crystal. Keep your mind shut, so that he can't read it. I need to take care of a few things over here, so I'm sorry that I can't be out there by you. You don't know half of the things that I've gone through since I've gotten back. Ok, so you do understand? Perfect. Give me a call and let me know how he's doing, k? If he works out with you, then I'll tell him to stay with you, but you'll have to pay him yourself. I've got to go now. I'll talk to you later. Bye." Serena and Justin hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, in the future, Serena was telling Darien of her plan to go to the moon, and then of what she wanted to do. "Darien, I'm not going to force you to go with me. This would be easier if you would. I'm just going to tell her that if she can get you to marry her, then you're free to go. I love you, I'll always love you, no matter what your decision is. If she does get you to marry her, then I'll have to take away your powers and you won't be royalty. Setsuna isn't royalty anymore. No matter what, she'll never be royalty again. Please think about this." Serena explained. Darien turned away thoughtfully. After a few minutes of thinking, he decided. "Alright Serena, I'll go with you and I'll play my part in your plan. But, what would happen if something were to go wrong? What can I do to you if you fall in love with Jadeite, besides leave you or stay with you and love you while you go sneak off to be with him thinking that I don't know?" Darien said. "I won't fall in love with him. I love you. You should know that by now." Serena replied, slightly hurt, but used to him doing this. He had been testing her ever since that first day she met Evil Sailor Mercury. She felt her old feelings and the wall that she had constructed begin to come up, so she wouldn't be hurt. "If you believe that I can fall in love with someone so easily, what's to say that you can't? I know that you've been tempted a few times and you might have acted upon those temptations, but I never have." Serena then said angrily and defensively.

I've made her mad. Now what am I supposed to do? Darien asked himself. "Endymion, you could start by figuring out what to do to make me happy again. I mean, Hotaru is probably already wondering why I almost never look at you with warmth in my eyes after an episode like this. You have no idea how much I'm trying to get back to the Serena I was before I left. I must tell you something though. Even though I shouldn't be able to tell these things, I can. I can only tell these things because when I stripped Setsuna of her power, most of it went into me, but what power didn't go into me, went into Luna, Artemis, and Diana. I know how this little meeting, or 'plan' as you'll call it, will go. I know that in about 5 minutes we'll be getting a visit from Luna, Artemis, and Diana. I also know that I won't live much longer. After this next enemy is defeated, someone, namely Kirsty, will poison me. She'll do so because she wants to be your queen, but little does she know that once I die, you'll no longer live and Hotaru will become queen. I do know that Rini is to be queen, but it does say that the first born will be the next ruler. I don't think Rini minds, but I can never tell with her. I do know that I wasn't meant to have Hotaru until I became queen. Even then, Rini was meant to be born first. Why I had Hotaru, I don't know. But it was probably because my mother didn't want Rini to go through what I had gone through. Not one of us should have had to fight. If only my father hadn't made Beryl mad by saying that he didn't love her, by bragging about my mother, she might not have attacked us and we would still be in the Crystal Millenium. We wouldn't have to fight, we would always have peaceful times. Ready to talk to the guardians? Here they come." Serena said.

"My Queen, King. Ah, I see you've made Serenity mad Endymion. Yes, I've come to know her moods well. I can tell you if Rini does or does not mind her sister being queen, majesty. She doesn't, but if Hotaru flaunts it, then she will be killed by Rini and Rini will become queen. I'm sorry my queen, but as you know, you will be poisoned. What you don't know is that when you are, the empire will be vulnerable. You need to start teaching Hotaru how to use the crystal. Also, teach Rini, just in case she needs it. I can tell you the exact date that Hotaru will fall, but I don't want to worry you. It won't be for some time yet." Luna said. Neo-Queen Serenity replied, "Yes Luna, I do know that I am to be poisoned. I know who will poison me, I know how, and I know why. What I want to know is what she hopes to accomplish by doing this. I don't think she knows what you, Artemis, and I know. Endymion doesn't even know this. I'm not exactly sure how to phrase this, so I'll just do my best. In 5 years, I will be visited by my mother and father. They will be giving me instructions on how to beat this new enemy. My mother will be telling me what henshin pens to give them, and if I need to design them, my father will be helping me. Either way, I'll need to design new henshin pens before I leave for the next generation of this kingdom. I don't think any of you know this, but Rini is not my daughter. I'm not sure if she's Endymion's daughter or not. I found her one morning when I was going outside for my morning walk with Hotaru. Let me think back and see if the crystal or my memory tells me whether or not Dar- Endymion is Rini's father." Serenity says.

"Angel, what are we going to do? We can't let Serena back into our life as if she never left. We need to put her through some sort of test, something to prove that she'll always be loyal to us, even though she's going to be queen." Char said. "Hey, have we seen Serena since she helped us in our fight against Sailor Mercury? I don't think we have. Where could she be?" Angel said. "All I can tell you girls is that she's not here. None of us knows where she is. She wasn't supposed to be here, but I needed to be here for my job, and so she teleported us here. She's going to teleport back to get me when we're supposed to start traveling back here, for her to live here. I have no more to say on this subject, considering that I wasn't even supposed to tell you why she's not here right now." With hearing that, the two turned around in surprise. After he said that, Darien left.

"What do you suppose he meant by that Angel?" Char asked. "He meant exactly what he said. That I'm not here and I won't be for a while yet. Don't you guys even dare to think of trying to put me through a test to see how loyal I am to you. I should be the one testing you guys, which is exactly what I'm going to do when I get back here. Have fun you guys, I need to get back to my mansion. See ya." With that, Serena left. "When do you think that Laura will be back with us? I miss seeing her around and hearing her talk about the problems going on in the world in what we need to talk about at a scout meeting. Why does she have to be gone when we need her the most, especially to figure out what to do about Serena showing up when we need her the most? We need her back. We need to come up with a plan to help her escape, I know that they brainwashed her. The only question is how long it took them to brainwash her."

"YOU STUPID SAILOR BRATS. I'M NOT BRAINWASHED ANYMORE. I'M STILL WITH THEM BECAUSE I LIKE IT THERE. IF YOU CAN GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON TO GO BACK TO YOU PUNY SCOUTS, THEN I MIGHT CONSIDER IT. Until then, stop trying to get me out of there. You'd have to get 2 other people out with me, if one of those two is still alive." Sailor Mercury said. "Sailor Mercury, we can help you. Why won't you let us take you away from their influence? You don't need anyone from there. All that anyone ever brings from that place is death, destruction, pain, and sorrow. Why won't you listen to us?" Char and Angel pleaded. Suddenly, Super Eternal Sailor Moon appeared, in her newest outfit of black and silver. "Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, why must you torment everyone so? Sailor Mercury will be back with the team soon, but now is not the time. Sailor Mercury, if you wish to fight, you'll have to find me. I'm not an easy person to find, considering that I can hide my identity from anyone, even the rest of the Sailor Scouts. Do you guys think that I see when you'll be in trouble ahead of time and just appear to help you? I can't do that. I can feel your energy, and when I feel that someone with dark power is near and if it's stronger than your's, I will show up, but only then. If I feel your energy and dark energy that is lower than yours, or is the same as your's, you'll be fighting without my help. Now, let each other be. Good-bye" Sailor Moon left as quickly as she showed up.

"We have got to learn how to do that, mainly so we can show up at someone's house and scare them." Sailor Mars said. "Or so that we can get them to help us in a hurry. What kind of test do you think she'll put us through? I wonder if she'll let us know ahead of time so that we can get ready for it." Sailor Mars and Venus went into an alley and detransformed. Char and Angel then walked to their original destination, which was the fair. "Now, I don't think I want to stay here. I'm not sure, but I have the feeling that they're going to attack here." Angel said. "Which is all the more reason that we need to stay here. We need to make sure that no one gets hurt. Look, there's Kirsty. Let's go ask her why she disappears before every battle, and appears after every battle. Let's go." Angel and Char walk over to where Kirsty is. She doesn't know that they're behind her until Char speaks.

"Kirsty, we need to talk. Now." "Fine. I'll tell you what I can. Not everything though. That's the only thing." Kirsty said. "Well, if you won't tell them everything, then I can. I mean, how hard can it be to tell them?" Serena said. "Where did you come from? Who are you?" Kirsty asked. "I am who I am. It is of no importance." Serena replied. "As to where I came from, that too is of no importance. Just know that I am not really here. My spirit is here to tell them everything that I know about you and why you disappear before every attack. I am unable to talk with you girls this time, but I assure you, when we talk about this, I will be present. You are not to talk about this right now. Here, you'll need to keep her under constant observation. This power holding her will make others unable to touch her to take her away, will force her to go where you tell her to, not where she wants to, and will ensure that she will be unable to go where she wants to, or where she needs to, unless told to go there by you two. This will hold her until I get here, then once I arrive, I will do this again and she will be forced to listen to all three of us. Now girls, have fun. There will be an attack today in about 5 minutes over by the ferris wheel. You will take Kirsty with you, but she won't fight. She will be protected by the magic that I have used on her. This will not be draining to me. Anyone that tries to free her, will instantly be killed. Which means that neither of you can try to free her. She must stay at one of your houses. I really must go. I've spent too much time explaining this already. We shall see each other again two days from now. Good-bye." With that, Serena left.

"Who was that? Where did she come from? What was she talking about?" Kirsty asked. "We can't tell you. It is up to her to tell you. Where she came from, we don't know. What she was talking about, that was explained. Now, we must go to the ferris wheel." Char said. "I'm not going over there. I will be waiting for you by the entrance to the fair." With that said, Kirsty tried to walk away. "I can't go anywhere. What did you do to me?" Kirsty asked. "Neither of us did anything. It was that girl that was just here. Now, all three of us are going to the ferris wheel." Angel said. All three of them walked to the ferris wheel, with Kirsty trying to get away occasionally. Suddenly, Sailor Mercury appeared in front of them, wanting to help them. Jon and Rei, or Ami, as was her real name, had been transported elsewhere.

Suddenly, screams were heard from the people around them. "We'd better transform." "I don't want to transform. You can't make me!" "VENUS HEART CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!" "MARS HEART CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!" "I don't know how much longer we can deal with this. They're now attacking on a daily basis. I hope we get help soon." "Don't worry Mars, you will. I'm sending my brother to you. He's you're soul-mate. While he has the powers of the moon and Pluto, like me, he has other powers. He is a wizard. Yes, he was my brother in this time as well, but my parents adopted only me. Yes, I am adopted. My brothers name is Draco. Do not tell Angel, but her soul-mate will be arriving there a few days after Draco. His name is Ron. Draco may seem cold, but that is how he was brought up. I will talk to him once I get there. Ron is famous for all the great things he has helped with. No, Venus cannot hear me. I must go though. I fear that the future is already changing. I've said too much. Good-bye for now Mars."
