The next day, Usagi once again went to school, smirking when she saw that Ami was absent. Makoto looked as though she could barely move, and before the day had ended, was allowed to leave by the school's nurse. All the while, Usagi absentmindedly played with a small trinket that Kunzite had told her to give to someone during the day. When she asked who, he simply told her the choice was up to her.
The blonde had noted that the young brown haired girl who had joined the class the previous day was trying hard to be personable.
"Tsukino-san," said the girl, breaking Usagi out of her thoughts. "I understand that yesterday was the first time which we met, but I was wondering if you would like to be a part of a study group that I am a member of after school.."
"Sure," replied the blonde causing Naru and Umino to look at her wide eyed.
"You're actually planning on going to a study group, Usagi-chan?" questioned Umino.
"I don't see why that is so surprising. I've been trying to apply myself if you haven't noticed," the blonde stated before she turned her attention to the brown haired girl as a thought entered her mind. "I tend to be a bit of a ditz so if I don't make it, then you can keep this."
The blonde handed Hakuya the small stone she had been carrying.
"What is this, Tsukino-san?"
"A good luck charm. Remember, you can keep it if I don't show up this afternoon."
"All right," Hakuya said with an uncertain nod as she studied the small stone, wondering what could be so lucky about the object. She noticed the way it seemed to glow, but figured that it was just the way the light was hitting it. "It's pretty."
"Isn't it?" asked Usagi as she smiled at the girl. "Well, time for our next class. I'll see you after school, all right?"
"Hai," agreed the brunette before getting up and heading out of the classroom. She then walked towards the room where study hall was held before calling out softly and falling to her knees.
Students crowded around the girl whispering softly amongst themselves, until Minako, who had sensed the spike in negative energy once the stone had been passed from Usagi to Hakuya, managed to get everyone to back a few feet away from the girl so that she could get some air.
The blonde looked past a few of the people to see Usagi standing in the back with a confused look on her face before shrugging and walking the opposite direction.
Slowly Minako's schoolmate rose from the ground and stood straight as she looked in the direction of the indifferent blonde.
"Hakuya-chan, daijobu?" said Minako softly.
She didn't get a reply as the brown haired young woman lifted her hand and released a wave of energy, knocking the teenagers in front of her back violently.
"Tsukino-san!" exclaimed the girl angrily, her eyes focused solely on the odangoed blonde.
Usagi slowly turned and curiously eyed Hakuya. "Hoshino-san, what is the matter?"
"We need to talk," snapped the girl as she suddenly raced down the hall, grabbing the short blonde and shoving her roughly into a wall.
Minako was torn as to just what she should do. She knew that the girl she had attended her old school with had to be stopped, but should she see what Usagi was going to do, and risk the girl losing her life, or try to find a way to purge whatever was controlling Hakuya from her.
Sighing, Minako looked down at the wand which had appeared in her hand.
"Protecting the princess is my duty, even if it means her continuing to want to kill me," she murmured softly to herself as she placed her henshin wand in her pocket and ran towards the two. She stopped a foot behind Hakuya. "Release her."
"My master bids the carrier of the stone must die…" muttered Hakuya as her body began to emanate a soft blue glow. Minako felt darkness rise up in the girl and before she became too strong, grabbed Hakuya's wrist and wrenched it from Usagi's throat.
"I suggest you get out of here, Tsukino-san," ordered Minako, the last two words coming out bitterly. "She seems to be after you."
The blonde glared at the newest addition to the student body before heading outside before allowing her new henshin to wash over her.
Seconds later, Minako came rushing out of the school followed by Hakuya, whose form was changing into that of a youma.
"You might want to henshin, Venus," snapped Serenity as she flipped away from the brunette turned monster.
Minako nodded and looked around to make sure that no one would see, before lifting her wand into the air and crying out, "Venus power, make up!"
In a flash of orange, the blonde school girl was replaced with the senshi of the planet of love.
Sailor Venus tried to figure out some way to attack the girl without hurting the human side of her which still shone through, even though that prominence was slowly lessening.
"Oi, youma!" shouted Venus as she waved. "How about you leave innocent school girls alone and deal with a Sailor Senshi for a while?"
The youma scoffed before releasing a powerful burst of energy at Venus, causing her to fall back a few feet. The sore muscles she had been able to ignore before began to make known the dislike of the abuse she was taking.
The orange clad senshi groaned softly as she tried to rise from the ground, all the while, watching the girl who was supposed to be her princess start a battle with the youma.
"Don't destroy her!" exclaimed Venus as she saw Serenity's blades.
"Let her do as she pleases," came a distinctly masculine voice from above the fallen blonde. She then saw a pair of boot clad feet walk up to her and pull her to her feet.
"Kunzite!" gasped Venus as she tried to wrench her arm from his grasp, but only succeeded in causing herself more pain.
"I'm not here to try and hurt you, Sailor V. I am here to make you an offer. The effects of the stone within the girl will wear off, but for now, let Serenity fight for her life," stated the silver haired shitenou.
"What sort of offer?" questioned Venus.
"I wish to give you back your princess, if you promise that Beryl will pay for having her destroy Zoycite. I would do so myself, but my oath of loyalty to that bitch of a queen was made permanent by the shedding of a small amount my own life blood. Should I ever turn against Beryl, she can destroy me in an instant," Kunzite explained, his voice growing mournful.
"I-"
"Don't give me your pity. I simply wish for you and your senshi to use this party to your advantage," Kunzite told her. "While Serenity puts the plan into action at midnight, Beryl's power over her should be at it's weakest. If you and the others can find a way to reach her, then I suspect that you will be able to free her."
Venus slowly nodded. "There is just one problem though. Two of us are weakened greatly, and I am almost at that point. There could only be one senshi and Tuxedo Kamen available if there are any more attacks before the night of the party."
"Do not worry. Beryl is planning on conserving her energy until the party," stated Kunzite simply as he watched Serenity be thrown back into a wall by the youma. "The creature she fights now is fueled by my own energy. That is how I know it will fade away eventually."
"I understand. I'll tell the senshi to relax for the next few days and simply try to come up with a way to restore Sailor Moon," the girl said as Serenity rose and attacked the youma with powerful kicks and pounding punches.
"Good. I'll find you at the party before the plan takes effect. I'll make sure that Serenity suspects nothing until then," he told her. "Now I suggest that you yourself rest. You will need to be as strong as you possibly can be in order to stop this plan."
"What if Beryl finds out what you have done before the night of the event?"
"Then I will most likely be destroyed or have my mind wiped so that I am once again loyal to Beryl and Beryl alone," he told her as he took note of Serenity's gradual tiring. "I'll find a way to let you know if that happens, Aino Minako."
Venus gasped softly when he said her civilian name. "How did…"
"Serenity gave us the names of each of the senshi as well as Tuxedo Kamen. Serenity is to lead the attack against each of you should you not appear at the celebration of the girl's birth."
"Thank you for helping us," the senshi of love said quietly.
"I do this not to help you, but to take my vengeance for Zoycite's life."
"You must have loved him dearly," Minako spoke softly.
"He was my strength. He showed me there was more to existence than just serving a self obsessed queen. If he had ever asked, I would have destroyed everyone of you senshi one by one. If he had asked, I would have left the Dark Kingdom and never looked back," Kunzite told her.
"Let her go!" came Tuxedo Kamen's voice from the top of the school.
Venus looked up to the caped figure before once more looking at Kunzite and nodding. She then watched as the youma suddenly stopped attacking and doubled over, slowly reverting back to the girl it once was.
"Remember what I have told you about the plan," Kunzite said before teleporting away, leaving Venus to almost hit the ground if not for the masked man.
"Venus, daijobu?" he asked as he supported her. The blonde nodded gratefully before looking over to Serenity, who had finally fallen to the ground, physically exhausted.
"Usagi…" murmured Tuxedo Kamen as he slowly left Venus' side and drifted over to the dark senshi.
Serenity forced herself to look up when she heard footfalls approaching. For a moment, her features grew pained before they softened considerably.
"Endymion?" she whimpered softly. He nodded as he knelt before her and gently caressed her face with one hand, and took one of hers with his other.
"I'm here, Serenity…" he whispered gently.
"Endymion, I can't stay in control for much longer. Please, help me…" she pleaded weakly as she covered his hand with her own. "Tatsukete, Endymion. I- I'm so…"
Her hands fell from his as she collapsed before she could finish her sentence. In the following instant, Sailor Moon disappeared in a flash of purple light.
"Iie…" he murmured as he looked at his empty hands. "Serenity… Usagi… Iie…"
"We… We need to get out of here," Venus said from behind him. "There is something that I need to tell you as well as the other senshi."
Tuxedo Kamen looked back at her for a moment before slowly nodding and standing. He knew that she could not make it very far on her own so he carefully lifted her in his arms and vacated the premises as fast as he could.
