Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ A Whole New Life: The Queen Takes the Throne ❯ Chapter 18 ( Chapter 18 )

Chapter 18

On Vegeta's ship...

"One more day" Vegeta mumbled to himself. "Then, I'll save the Princess I can't let her down."

Vegeta had been working out non-stop for six days now. It didn't seem to be that long to him, though. He concentrated on what he was doing and didn't take one break. He pushed himself past his limit to achieve his goal. He would be much stronger than Kakarott. He would be strong enough to save his Princess. He would be the strongest fighter in the whole universe.

On the Nemesis...

"Here comes the Princess." Said Prince Diamond, sipping from a Champaign glass. "Soon, she will be mine forever. She will love me I'll make her love me."

He crushed the glass in his hand, cutting himself. Blood ran down his fingers and dripped onto the floor. He picked up a cloth that was laying on the table next to him, and wrapped it around his bleeding hand.

"Soon, very soon, you will be mine, Princess." He muttered under his breath as she drew nearer to his palace.

Back to the Sailor Scouts...

"Come on!" Sailor Jupiter yelled, running as fast as she could. The others were close behind her, running at full speed.

"STOP!!" A voice demanded. A figure appeared in front of Sailor Jupiter. She didn't have time to stop, and run right into him, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Hey!" Sailor Jupiter cried, standing up and dusting herself off. "What's the big idea!!"

"Calm down." The voice said, it was the voice of Tuxedo Kamen. "I was just trying to get your attention."

"You big jerk!" Yelled Sailor Jupiter. "I thought you were Prince Diamond or one of his little friends!!" She yelled, hitting Tuxedo Kamen in the head. "How dare you!!!"

"Stop it you two!" Sailor Mercury stepped forward. "This is no time to fight, we have to find Princess Usagi!"

"Y... you're right." Sailor Jupiter said, her eyes cast to the ground.

"Let's go get her." Tuxedo Kamen said, heading off in front of them. "We have to find her."

The rest of the Sailor Scouts followed his lead, and soon they stood before a palace.

"Where's Usagi?" Asked Sailor Venus. "I thought you said she would be here?"

"She's must not be here yet." Sailor Mercury said, checking her calculations. "According to my calculations, Usagi is in that direction." She said, pointing in the opposite direction.

"How'd she get over there?" Sailor Pluto asked.

"My computer must not be working because we should have found her." Sailor Mercury said, a very confused look on her face. "Let's get inside, we have to fight."

"Right!" They said in unison. They all headed into the palace and soon became lost, like they had before.

"This is so confusing!" Sailor Venus cried when they weren't getting anywhere.

"Oh girl's." A voice from over head coed. It was Prince Diamond. "I have someone who'd like to see you."

"Prince Diamond!" They all cried. Sailor Jupiter took a step closer and was about to use her power, but she stopped when a she saw a familiar figure standing behind him.

"Princess Serenity!!" Jupiter cried, seeing her friend. She was floating unconscious beside Prince Diamond. "Let her go!"

"I don't think so." He said. "Take them to the dungeon!!" He shouted. Usagi lifeless body began to move. She began to drive the scouts towards a small door.

"Usagi!!" Sailor Venus cried. "What are you doing?!?! We're your friends."

Usagi used her powers against her friends and drove them into the room. The door slammed shut behind them and a weird glow emulated from the room. The scouts used their powers, but it was too strong for them to break.

"Let me outa here!!" Jupiter demanded, screaming at the top of her lungs. "If you don't let me outa here, I'm gonna"

She didn't finish her sentence because her eyes met with those of Usagi. They were cold and right in front of them, so everyone could see. Usagi began to change. Her long blond hair became short and black. Her beautiful blue eyes grew a dark red, and the white dress she wore turned black. She wasn't Usagi at all! She was a phony!

"I knew it!" Cried Mercury. "I knew there was something wrong when I checked her out with my computer!"

"Sorry to say, your computer doesn't work here." Said Prince Diamond, chuckling to himself. "You fell right into my trap. I lead you all the way here and you fell for it. Now, all I have to get is the Princess to fall for it as well." He threw back his head and laughed hysterically. His voice echoed through out the palace, sending chills down the scouts backs. "She will be so blind, that she'll fall for it, just like all of you!"

Elsewhere on the Nemesis...

Princess Serenity kept walking towards the palace at a steady pace. She kept her eyes forward and didn't look when she heard a twig crack behind her. She stopped, but she didn't turn around.

"What do you want." She demanded in a low voice.

"I want you, darling." A man's voice said. She recognized it right away and turned to meet the eyes of Prince Diamond. "Have you come to fight?"

"I will defeat you." Usagi said, a frown spread across her lips. "No matter how long it takes me. Even if I have to give my life, I will defeat you."

"I don't think so." He said, an arrogant smile on his lips. "You will not fight if I have your friends."

"What are you talking about?!?!" Usagi demanded.

"I have them." He said, a small, round crystal appeared in his hand. Usagi gasped when she saw her friends locked up in a room that was emitting a strange glow. They couldn't get out of it.

"Let them go!" Usagi yelled, beginning to power up. "Or I'll"

"Or you'll what?" He asked. "If you know what's good for you, you'll come quietly."

"Never." She said, her voice lowering and her hair began to change color. Her tail lashed out behind her, and her hair turned as white as snow. "I'll never give in." She growled. She was about to charge but stopped when she heard her friends.

"HELP US!!" They cried.

"STOP!!!" Usagi screamed, hearing her friends cries. "I'll go with you." Her body slumped to the ground as she felt herself growing weak.

"Come along." He said. Her body was lifted off the ground and was heading towards the palace.

"I.. I'm sorry" Usagi whispered before everything went black.
