Chapter Five

Serena stared at woman before her with a mixture of pain and fear racing through her heart. At that moment, she sincerely wished she could feel hatred. This traitor destroyed her world, her friends, family, and her love and tried to do it again in this lifetime. Serena's lips curled up into a snarl as she tightened her hold on her tier. She could not feel hatred, but she knew rage and it was snapping on a short leash, wanting to get a hold on the fiend coming towards her.

Sailor Pluto came fully into the light, her garnet eyes shining with an almost fanatical gleam as she looked upon the Moon Princess. "My Princess, I am so pleased to see you-"

Athena fired her arrows at her, both landing mere inches away from Pluto. "Keep your distance, Ananke." Athena warning. "Next time, I will not miss."

Pluto looked at her strangely. "Athena Diana, we are sisters in arms, I would have never believed you to threaten one of your own."

"You are not one of us," Athena snarled, "You betrayed our Kingdom, the Queen and our Princess. You killed us all and you've tried to do so in this time. I'm not threatening you, Ananke, I am saying that I am going to kill you."

Pluto clamped her hands over her ears and started screaming manically, "I never betrayed the Queen. I live for the glory of our new Queen, for the new Silver Millennium-"

"You would kill our Princess again." Athena shouted over her mad cries. "Our Queen lives, Silver Millennium has been resurrected and the universe is at peace. But you will bring chaos to us. You want a war between Terra and the Silver Alliance therefore you have corrupted a member of the Alliance and two Senshi. You want us all to die. But not this time, Ananke. This time, you are going to die."

Nephrite had drawn his sword and held it over her, "By the orders of King Endymion I, you are to die, witch." He started the stroke that would end her life only to be met by her staff. They stood for a moment locked in a contest of strength, before she pushed him away, almost easily. She whirled on the two Princesses only to meet a swift right hook to her jaw. Athena attacked Pluto with all her might while she was assessing the rouge for weakness and calculating her strengths.

Pluto took another hit and then everything just stopped. Athena felt a rush of power build up around her and in a blink of an eye Athena was flying through the air.

Serena called out to Athena Diana and moved to go after her soul sister, but Pluto grabbed her arm and started to pull her towards a portal in the shadows.

"Princess!" Eros cried as she dove down towards them.

Pluto threw out her left and whispered, "Dead Scream!" Eros took the attack full in the chest and was thrown though a building.

Persephone attacked her from behind and Serena joined her once she got over her shock. Pluto was holding her own, but Saturn was her equal, if not her superior when it came down to hand-to-hand combat, and Serena was a shock all together. Pluto was surprised when the Moon Princess began to fight against her.

Serena had abandoned her tier for a slim rapier of Silver Imperial Crystal. Serena was still a little slow with her movements, but she quick and agile and her strikes were true and deadly as snake as she slashed at Ananke's unprotected body when Persephone attacked. Pluto was forced to retreat, but she would be back.

Serena summoned her Eternal Tier, aimed, and shouted in fluid motion, "Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss." Only to have Pluto escape yet again.

Neph got up, rubbing his sore back and head. Well that was not apart of the plan. Athena Diana pulled herself out of the rubble, her face was sickly pale the scent coming off her was something awful. Eros was cursing up a storm when she finally hauled herself out of the wall of the building she had been blasted into.

"Okay," Neph panted. It felt as if someone had decided to dance the tango on his ribs. "What the hell was that?"

The Senshi looked at each other and shrugged.

"I don't know," Eros confessed. "It looked as if she were trying to kidnap the Princess." Her face was still puzzled as she looked up at Uranus who was bound on the roof with her Love-Me-Chain. "I don't understand it, why did she come here? She should have known that she would lack the element of surprise."

"It was completely irrational," Athena crossed her arms over her chest as she too pondered the strangeness of Pluto's entrance into their lives. "The way she was looking at Serena and her manic behaviour-"

"I think she's possessed." Serena said softly.

Persephone nodded. "The Princess may be right, but I think it goes beyond a simple possession."

"Soul poisoning?" Eros suggested.

Persephone shook her head. "I doubt it. There's more to what's going on with Ananke."

"I felt darkness," Serena said with a brief shudder. "It was almost like her soul was not there?"

"I felt the same thing," Nephrite confessed. "When I looked into her eyes, it was like nothing was there, not even madness."

Eros humped, "I for one thinks she is crazy. How dare she attack the Princess and thinks she can walk away from this without a fight?"

"Hey, you guys did it before," Serena reminded her. "But for now let's focus on Atalanta and Xanthe…" Her world swayed slightly. She grabbed Athena's arm and leaned heavily against her.

"Serena," Athena cried urgently, "Honey, what's wrong?"

She shook her head slightly, "I'm feeling dizzy," she whispered.

Athena's eyes went wide, "Serena, when was the last time you had a meal?"

Serena shook her head, "No-remember-Endy…" The last of her energy tapped and she collapsed in Athena's arms.

*******

When she awoke, Serena found herself lying on a soft bed and the first thing she saw was a pair of dark blue eyes looking down on her. She jerked away with a scream.

Endy fell back, grabbing his ears as if in pain. "Damn it, I still have a headache from you stupid games." He yelled at her, "Shut up."

Serena sat up quickly and looked for something beat his head in. "Don't you ever do that to me again, you jerk." She grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, but he caught it easily. "You used your rotten crystal to stun me and keep me on this rotten planet." She pouted.

Endy smirked as he tossed the pillow back into her face and he burst out laughing when she fell back in a flurry of hair, wings and arms.

"I can do whatever I want to you, little girl." He proclaimed, "Have you forgotten who I am? Oh, yeah, you and your Senshi are my prisoners."

Serena ripped the pillow off her face with a shriek that even hurt her ears. "I'm your what?"

He gave her a dirty look, "Damn it, Serena, I think you busted my eardrums." He stood up and sat down on the bed and picked up her small feet and deposited them into his lap. "Hell, I was kidding about the prisoner thing, alright. I never intended to keep them on Terra in the first place.

The expression on her face said she did not believe him.

He rolled his eyes. "I am telling the truth. Wanted these two women off my planet but I did not want to start a war with the Silver Alliance, a war Terra would lose."

"You last message to us was that you were going to execute them." She said, her pale eyes showed her confusion.

"Do you think I'm idiot, woman?" He scoffed. "But I wasn't about to eat crow either."

Serena's eyes widen as understanding dawned on her, then she exploded. "You tricked us."

"You were trying to do the same," he countered.

She smacked him in the arm. "I can't believe this. You-" She was upset that she had actually began to sputter.

For his part, Endy just laughed in her face. "I have proven to the you paltry moonies that the terran is far more superior to you."

"This just proves you're better liars."

"And it makes you look gullible." He dodged her next swat. "But seriously, Serena, I wanted two off my planet."

"You're saying we can leave?"

"Well," he said hesitantly, "That was before you pulled that little stunt and knocked me out."

Her eyes narrowed dangerously. "What do want in return, rat bastard?" She demanded coldly.

He feigned a hurt look, "What makes you think that I-"

"Because I'm not stupid, Endy and I know how your idiotic mind works." She glared at him suspiciously. "If you haven't done anything, you must want something?"

He dumped her feet from his lap and returned her unfriendly stare. "Can't I do anything nice for you?" He retorted. "Do you think I want to have a freaking war with you that would include other people? When I want to fight with you, I want it to be just us, you and me."

She pretended to think about it then said, "Do I believe that you want to something for out of the kindness of your heart? Nope. But then I don't trust you either." She added spitefully.

He pushed her down and stood up. "That's cold woman."

"Live with it, salaud." She sat up and de-morphed to her regular clothes, a simply white tank dress and she was bare foot. "Well, Endy, what do you want? I don't have all day to play mind games with you."

"You know what I want," he said huskily as his eyes ravishing her lithe figure before she threw another pillow at him.

"Mind out of the gutter, cochon," she said firmly. "Seriously, tell me what you want so I can say no?"

He took a deep breath and turned away from her. He hated doing this. He hated this more than being near his mother and his grandmother at the same time. If his teeth weren't healthy, he would have found a trip to the dentist for a root canal more pleasant than what he was going to do. Unfortunately besides having good teeth, Endy was desperate and he needed help. Someone once told him, "a wise man could ask another for assistance." It had probably been Artemis on one of his teamwork kicks. Either way, Endy would bet the farm that whoever first penned that idiotic statement never had to look in the face of the cruelest women in solar system. He glanced back at the love of his life and shuddered.

He looked at her pleading. "Bunny, baby, I want you to stay with me-"

Serena's eyes went wide with horror. "Oh, no you don't buster!" She cried, shaking her head as she backed up on the bed. "I'm not going to marry you yet."

Endy looked at her strangely, then he grinned, "So you are considering to being my wife." He asked smugly.

She gave him a flat look, "I said I was considering it, sale cochon! that doesn't mean I am going to do it. You're an self-righteous, immature, holier-than-thou, pain in rear."

"And you are proving to be a real bitch, ma petite," he retorted, "But I still want you."

"You're pushing your luck," she threw another pillow at him. "I'm going to beat the stuffing out of you, you fruity looking prick."

"I would so like to see you try, you little bit of-" He stopped himself and glared at her. "Damn it, you almost made me forget that favour I wanted."

She was still glaring at him, "What do you want, vieux cochon?" She demanded.

What he really wanted at that exact moment was to beat her senseless with a pillow and stop with the French insults. "Pretend to be my fiancée so my damned mother get the hell away from me and take her gold digging friends with her."

And she was all set to say no, too. Darn him, Endy just had to bring up that horrid woman she had met that morning. The audacious creature had some cheek! She had spotted Serena and her Senshi while Umino was giving them a tour of the grounds that morning. After Umino had introduced them, that horrid woman made rude and impertinence comments to her own little group right in the girls faces. Kore had wanted to remove that woman's head from her shoulders right there and she would have had Artemis not come when he did.

Endy was bad, Serena knew that and accepted for she had long reasoned that he had suffered some serious damage to his brain. But this woman, with her 'polite' insults, she was entirely different animal. Endy's mother needed a lesson in humility.

Endy watched the almost feral gleam appear in his Princess' eyes and he almost felt sorry for his mother. Almost. But that woman had to go or he was going to do something permanent about her.

"Fine, I'll do it, but one condition." She said.

"Anything." He said quickly.

She smiled wickedly at him. "You will allow the Senshi on Terra and will not interfere with our pursuit of Pluto."

"No." He said out right.

"You said anything." She reminded him.

"Within the boundaries of me doing something personal for you, like buy you stuff or make mad passionate monkey love to you."

Her eyes opened wide. "Monkey…?"

"Hey, that was only an example." He ran his tongue over his lips.

"Eww. Slobber boy!" Serena cried.

Endy reached out for her when she tried to move away, "C'mon, baby, how's about little kiss?"

Laughing, Serena shoved a pillow in his face. "I'm not touching you with you mad monkey love and slobbering lips." She squealed as he made kissing noises on the pillow. "Endy, c'mon, say yes."

He tackled her to bed. Endy tossed pillow as he straddled her. "Fine, we will all work together on the Pluto situation." And he added, "I do have my investment to maintain."

Serena tried to shove him off, but he wouldn't move. "And another thing-"

"You said one." He poked the tip of her nose playfully.

She swatted his hand away and gave him a look that told him to shut up. "You have to be nice to me-"

He looked down at her in shock, "I'm always nice to you." He protested. "Hell, I'm nicer to you than I am to my brother and I like Kris." And saying that took a lot for him to admit.

Serena rolled her eyes. "You are in serious denial." She told him.

He sulked, "Why am I making all the concessions here?" He whined, "You hate Caroline almost as much as I do."

"I can't hate," she told him. Sometimes the man was just thick. "I have a pure crystal heart remember?"

He frowned, "Yeah, but that hasn't stopped you from treating me like shit."

"You deserve it." She replied snidely. "Now, you will be nice to me, my court, and to others in general."

"Hell no." He declared empathically. "I want to break in Eros face and just be a general bad-ass to everyone else. You can't make me give up my fun."

She looked at him skeptically. "If you want your mother gone, you will do as I say."

He grumbled about evil blondes and bitches.

"And you will stop calling me out of my name." She snapped, her eyes were flashing dangerously as was her crescent moon signal. "Also, you have to stop swearing. You're foul mouth is corrupting my aura."

He said sullenly.

"No it's not." She said sweetly. "It part of the overall package. I don't want any misunderstandings on your part that's, so we're going through this line by line."

"Maybe I should have had my lawyers come in with me." He frowned, but conceded with a great deal of reluctance. "Fine. I agree to all you demands just as long as the guys and I come alone to track that bitch."

She rolled her eyes, "Fine. I agree."

Endy caught her face in his hands, causing Serena to meet his dark gaze. He loomed over her until their noses were touching. "Shake on it." He asked in husky whisper.

In response, Serena slowly draped her arms around his neck, her hands slipped into soft ebony hair. "I'll give you a bit of incentive towards being nice to me?" She said softly. "Let's seal this deal with a kiss."
