Finding Destiny
Part 15
By Angel Love
Author's Notes: I know that in the show and in the manga Queen Serenity only appeared on the moon. But since I am already seriously messing with the facts of the show I hope you can overlook that as well.
Standard disclaimers apply. Blah Blah. You all know that.
Back in the bowels of the negaverse, the three captive scouts awoke. They were each sitting on the cold, stinky , slimy floor, but their hands were chained to the wall behind them.
Venus looked over to the other scouts and tried to smile reassuringly, but failed miserably. "They didn't get Sailor Moon or Mercury. We still have a chance to get out of here," her voice shook.
Mars looked down, a tear falling from her eye. "And when they come to rescue us, they will be walking straight into a trap." Mar's voice also shook, but hers was in anger not the despair that was claiming the blonde scout.
"You are quite right," an evil voice answered, causing the scouts to look up startled.
They looked up to see a woman with flaming red hair and fangs glistening at them. Her long purple dress hugged her breasts pushing them up provocativly and flowed down to disappear into the floor. She was glaring at them with a smirk on her face.
"You have gotten in my way for the last time Sailor Brats!" She pointed a long fingernail at them and closed her fist. "You shall die after you watch me kill your precise Sailor Moon," She laughed evilly as she vanished.
Jupiter stared in horror at the spot the evil queen just occupied. Angry bile rose in her throat. "Beryl..." She spat on the ground. "You will not win." Her green eyes narrowed as she pulled on her chains.
Mars looked down at her own chains. "I can't believe we fell right into their trap," she whispered. "How could I have been so stupid?"
************************
Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask arrived on balcony a little tired. Both wanted to talk to the other and were worried about Amy's condition, not to mention the abducted scouts.
Sailor Moon opened the sliding door, allowing Tux to enter before her. She followed him hesitantly into his bedroom. She glanced around. It too was neat and lonely. The only thing that stood out was that his bed was a mess, its sheets were all twisted, like Darien had a bad dream the night before. She quickly smoothed the sheets out.
Tux gently laid Amy out on the bed. Noticing that Sailor Moon was gently taking the other girls shoes off, in an effort to make her more comfortable. He walked to his closet and pulled down a blanket, covered Amy with it, before he turned his attention to the others in the room.
Sailor Moon watched as Tux gently covered her friend. As soon as he turned to her, she smiled at him. She placed the cats on the bed next to Amy. "Will you guys stay with her? I don't want her to be alone when she wakes up."
"Of course," Artemis responded. He curled up next to the unconscious girl, while Luna sat at the edge of the bed. 'I wish I knew how Mina was,' he thought to himself, hoping that she was alive and somewhat safe.
"Where will the two of you be if we need you?" Luna asked.
"Not far," Sailor Moon assured her guardian. "If you need either one of us, call me by using her communicator."
The cats nodded their assent.
Sailor Moon turned her attention to Amy. A tear slid down her face as she gazed at her friend. She gently brushed back the short blue hair from Amy's brow.
"Please, be okay, Ames. I need you," she gently whispered. She turned and walked out of the room as two more tears slid down her cheek. 'Please, all of you be okay,' her mind screamed in agony.
"I hope that we make it through this," Luna whispered worriedly to Artemis. She moved to cuddle up to Artemis.
Artemis nuzzled his head against her. "Me too, Luna. Me too."
*********************************
Tuxedo reached out and wiped a few tears from Sailor Moon's tired face. "Let's go to the roof."
Sailor Moon nodded. She silently followed him out of the apartment and to the roof, being careful that no one saw them on the way. She didn't want to explain why two super heroes were there in the building.
The sun was low in the sky when they reached the roof. Sailor Moon walked over to the edge of the roof and looked out over Tokyo. She wrapped her arms protectively around herself as she shivered, her shoulder aching slightly where she was knicked with the arrows earlier. Her hands also hurt, but she tried to ignore the pain. "How am I supposed to protect this city? I am such a failure. I can't even protect my friends."
Tuxedo Mask turned Sailor Moon around and pulled her gently into his arms. He tipped her face up so she would look him in his eyes, letting her see through his mask, showing her all the love he had to offer her. "I have seen you fight the Negaverse plenty of times. You are brave, Serena, not a failure."
She snorted and looked away. "I'm not brave. I run around screaming my head off until you come to save me."
"Serena..." Tux began softly, wrapping his arms around her. "You have seen things and done things that a normal teenager couldn't even handle. I'm proud of you. You are always thinking about other people. Even today, you tried to help Mercury and Venus remove their cuffs without worrying about the danger you were putting yourself in."
"A lot of good that did," Sailor Moon said quietly, pulling away from him. She looked out over the city again, thinking about her friends. "Right now Lita, Mina and Raye are trapped somewhere in the Negaverse," She said, her voice raising. "I couldn't save my friends! What good am I if I can't save my friends?" She screamed out, dropping to her knees, pounding her fist on the ground. "If it weren't for you, Amy and I would be there as well."
She buried her face in her hands as more tears fell from her eyes. "All I am good for is crying." Sobs erupted from her as she sank further to the ground.
Tux knelt down, taking the sobbing super-heroine into his arms. Fear shot through him as her words sank in. He had almost lost the best thing in his life. And he would not have even known why. Not that he blamed her for not telling him about her secret identity; he himself had one. But he still wished that she had.
He held her until her sobbing stopped. "I love you, Serena, Sailor Moon," he whispered to her, a tear escaping his own eye, sliding down his cheek.
She looked up at his face, gently wiping away his tear with her gloved hand. She smiled as he grabbed her hand and pressed it to his mouth. "I love you too, Darien, my Tuxedo Mask."
Tuxedo smiled as she emphasized the my.
Slowly his head came down, gently brushing his lips across hers, tasting the salt from her tears. When he went to pull away, she pulled him down for a more passionate kiss. When they both came up for air they were smiling.
"Wow!" he exclaimed, his head spinning slightly. He felt overjoyed when she snuggled into his warm embrace and giggled.
Suddenly her laughing stopped as she sensed a presence. She pulled away from him and stood up, causing him to stand behind her. A fog filled the rooftop, causing both warriors to tense.
A form of a woman appeared out of the fog. She wore a long, white dress with a blue bow in front. Her hair was done in the same 'meatball' style as Sailor Moon, but instead of having golden locks, her hair was almost white in its radiance. A crescent moon mark graced her forehead. But it was the soft blue eyes that drew Sailor Moon away from her protector to walk slowly towards the woman.
Tuxedo Mask watched in fascination as his beloved walked slowly towards the mysterious woman. He noticed that there was a strong resemblance between the two women. Something pulled on his memory, but he couldn't quite grasp it. 'Who is she?' he asked himself.
Sailor Moon stopped halfway between the woman and Tuxedo Mask. She broke eye contact with the woman to turn back to her love. Her eyes looked at him uncertainly. "Darien..."
Tux smiled reassuringly at her, moving to her side. He took her hand in his and squeezed.
She smiled gratefully at him before turning her attention back to the woman that drew her in like a magnet. She too could feel something pulling at her memory, she saw brief images of this woman holding her as a child, but she couldn't understand what they meant.
The woman smiled at the obvious love and protection that the two warriors held for each other. "Hello, Serenity," she said quietly. "It is time for you to remember you past."
She moved to stand in front of Sailor Moon. Her blue eyes locked with Sailor Moon's. She placed her finger to the stone in the scout's tiara. Her eyes closed and moon symbol flared to life as she whispered, "In the name of the moon, awaken my dear Princess Serenity."
Sailor Moon's eyes drifted closed, a force pulling at her all her senses. "In the name of the moon..."
Tuxedo mask released her hand and watched in awe as her tiara disappeared and the symbol of the moon replaced it. It fared to life as her body began to glow, healing her wounds.
Images filled Sailor Moon's mind as she began to remember her life on the Moon Kingdom.
Her hair began to change. The red orbs disappeared. Her hair grew thicker and longer, almost touching the ground. Small pearl barrettes appeared.
Her fuku disappeared, to be replaced by a long flowing white gown. Gold tread wove its way across the top of the bodice. On her shoulders were small circular cloves. The dress hugged her maturing curves as it cut down her back to stop at a white bow. Folds of silk enveloped her as the gown flowed out under her breasts, covering her satin slippers. A small gold bracelet appeared on her wrist as her symbol stopped glowing, but didn't fade completely.
Tuxedo Mask watched as she slowly opened her eyes. He was startled to see such sadness reflected from her soft blue eyes. He watched in agony as a tear slowly fell down her graceful cheek. 'Oh, Serena...'
There was no doubt in his mind, this was the princess that he had been searching for. He found it ironic that she was right in front of him the whole time.
Princess Serenity looked up at the woman in front of her. She curtsied gracefully, her body dipping low to the ground, as she remembered to offer her respects to the queen. Before the woman could say anything, Serenity had jumped up and wrapped her arms around her. "Oh, mother!" she cried as she buried her face in Queen Serenity's shoulder.
Queen Serenity giggled as she wrapped her arms around her daughter. "Welcome back."
Serenity pulled away and looked up at her mother, confusion showing in her sky-blue eyes. "How are you here?"
"Magic, my dear." The queen winked. "Someday when you are queen, you will understand all my secrets." Her hand cupped her daughter's cheek.
She looked over to where Tuxedo Mask was standing. She noticed that he looked a bit confused, but he seemed to take the fact that his girlfriend was a super-heroine and a princess in stride. "I think that it is time for you to reawaken your prince."
Serenity looked over and nodded her understanding.
Queen Serenity gently placed a kiss on the princess forehead. "We will met again, my daughter."
Then she began to fade into the fog.
Princess Serenity watched until she could no longer see her mother. Then she turned to her beloved of two lifetimes. She knew that awakening him and the others entailed reliving the painful memories again and again, but she would gladly do it for any of them. They deserved to know the truth about where they had come from.
She walked over and gently caressed his cheek. Her eyes taking in his handsome features. "Do you wish to remember, my love?"
Tux nodded, for he knew that his young princess held the answers to many questions that he yearned to have answers for. Answers to things that had kept him up countless nights.
She pressed a kiss to his cheek before she nodded at him. She raised her fingers to his forehead. The symbol of earth appeared on his forehead and her symbol also grew bright. She closed her eyes. "In the name of the moon, Prince Endymion, my love, remember..."
Tuxedo Mask's eyes drifted shut. "In the name of Earth..."
