Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Confessions of a Goddess ❯ The Goddess Appears ( Chapter 9 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Darien, Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mercury and Sailor Chibi-Moon all formed a circle around me. I felt very faint... I grew deathly pale. The others already looked dead. Then Sailor Moon collapsed.

"Serena!" We all cried. Darien took her in his arms.

"C'mon Sailor Moon! We can't save her without you!" He cried.

"I... I can't do anything else. If I use the power of the crystal... we won't be able to get back! We've stayed too long!"
* * * * * *
"Luna... are they going to make it back? They've been gone all night." Artemis asked. Luna, Diana, and Artemis were sitting on Mina's bed.

"They don't have enough power to get back! Our future is ruined! They need to save her and get back... they won't be able... to...." Luna cried.

"How... what are they supposed to do now?" Artemis asked.

"What's gonna happen to Rini mommy? Is she coming back?" Diana asked.

"I'm not sure honey. We'll have to wait and see. Artemis, they need power from another source."

"What would that be?"

"Darien and Serena need to fall in love again." Luna replied.

"Well, that won't happen." Artemis said.

"Yes it can... and you should know that... you are her guardian."

"You're saying Mina can make them fall in love again?"

"Yes, she is the goddess after all."

"You guys.... I ..." I started. Everything got blurry.

"Venus! Nooooo!" Rini said. I fell to the ground and drew my last breath.

"Mina!" Darien cried. Everyone was silent.

"We were too late..." Lita said. A tear fell on her cheek.

"It's my fault.... I shouldn't have.... gotten so close to her...." Darien said and tears formed in his eyes.

"Well, what do we do now?" Rae asked.

"Ami.... A.. Ami.... ca..an you hear m...me?" Luna asked through the communicator.

"Luna! What do we do? Mina..." Ami began.

"Listen... To get enough power.... You need to summon the goddess Venus.... and she will do the rest. It is the only way.... to bring the two great rulers of the moon kingdom together again..." Luna said.

"There has to be another way. I'm not going to love him again, he betrayed me!" Serena pouted as she crossed her arms.

"No. You have to summon the goddess.... That's the only way." Luna replied.

"Ok guys, come on. Let's form a circle around her." Ami said. They all joined hands. They closed their eyes and they all began to say "Venus, goddess of love and beauty...reunite these two rulers."

Then, my spirit, enfolded in a circle of light, rose up out of my body.

"The... the goddess? Is that really you? Venus?" Rae asked in astonishment.

"Yes, I am Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Prince, Princess... the only way to save me and yourselves... is to fall in love again." I said. The two blinked at me.

"You two are the rulers of the new moon. Not Darien and I. You two are the only way. I will give you the power to fall in love, and then you memories of this time will be gone, as well as the memories of this fling. Serena... the baby... will be held here until you two are wedded. I will take care of her. I will give you the power to return to earth." I closed my eyes and my light surrounded them.

Memories flashed in their minds of the past, of the future. Darien and Serena realized they were the only way. Darien pulled Serena close and kissed her.

I fell back into my body on the ground. Darien and Serena smiled at each other.

"Let's go home." I said as I got back to my feet. We didn't look dead anymore. We all joined hands. Darien squeezed mine tight, as if to say I love you like a sis. We closed our eyes, fell silent, and then we were gone.
