Finding Destiny
Part 18
By Angel Love

Author's Notes:

Standard disclaimers appy. I don't own any of Sailor Moon, but this story is my warped little idea, helped along by good friends like Rose. Who was also the insperation for my Sailor Destiny.


In the Negaverse:

The evil Queen was enraged. "The crystal was right before me!" she screamed in the air, sending a bolt of dark energy into a wall, smashing it into nothing, reflecting the emotions swirling in her black heart, but watching it crumble didn't bring her any satisfaction.

She dismissed the generals right after the crystal had disappeared. She didn't need them to play witness her failure. She was not used to failure, at least not her own. She was not going to accept that in herself, she was better than her pathetic generals.

She had also ordered them to find out where the crystal had disappeared to, and to watch the captured scouts. She didn't need a sudden problem to occur with her live bait.

"I cannot fail!" She screamed again, slamming her hands into her chair, her red eyes flashing wildly.

"Beryl, stop your screaming," a voice booming, showing impatience at Beryl's tantrum.

"Yes, Queen Metellia," she said, immediately putting herself together. She turned her attention to the black gassy form behind her throne, bowing her head submisively.

"The crystal has been revived," the voice hissed in unsatisfaction. "As well as the Moon Princess and the Earth Prince."

"I am sorry, my queen, I was not fast enough," Beryl lowered her head in shame.

"Never mind your blubber, Beryl," the voice hissed in impatience. "The Princess has become a very dangerous enemy, and she is not alone."

"I have three of her scouts here. I will kill them before she can do anything about it," she cackled. She was about to summon Zoicite when Metellia stopped her.

"No, the princess will know if her scouts are gone. Then your trap won't work." Metellia hissed. "We need for her to come here and meet her death."

Beryl nodded, once again feeling shame for her mistakes.

"However, even more dangerous is the company the princess now keeps," Metellia hissed angrily.

"What do you mean?" Beryl asked in confusion. "Zoicite and Malachite did not say anything about any other scouts, and I didn't feel any others awaken." Her mind franticly trying to figure out what her master was talking about.

"These two did not to awaken, Beryl," Metellia said, strangely quiet.

An image of Sailor Destiny and Sailor Love appeared before Beryl.

"They look familiar," Beryl said, moving closer, studying the images.

"They are two of the original scouts. Not only are they responsible for giving all of these scouts their powers, but they are the ones that took away my body and contained me in this form." She hissed, the form lighting up madly with each word that was dripped in hatred for the twin scouts.

Beryl gasped, "They are that powerful."

"Yes," it hissed out. "They have made the princess more powerful than all of the scouts, including themselves."

"She will not win," Beryl hissed out, her fists curling up. Hatred and jealously welled up in her as she remembered how Endymmion had rejected her for that mere girl.

"Exactly, Beryl," Metellia soothed. "The princess does not know how to wield her powers yet. Destroy those two and you will have your chance to kill the princess and have your Prince of Earth"

The image showed the twins link hands and smile at each other.

"Their greatest weakness is the other. They depend on each other. Use that to destroy them," Metellia hissed out, destroying the image. "Show no mercy."

"Yes, my queen," Beryl said, a sadistic smile came across her face. 'I will win, then I will rule this world, with Prince Endymion by my side."

Elsewhere in the Negaverse:

Zoicite and Malachite were nervous. Zoicite just sat at the table and stared at the crystalline coffins of Jadeite and Nephlite, while Malachite paced the small room, wringing his hands.

"I have never seen her this mad, Mal," Zoicite said, finally dragging his eyes away from the fallen generals to look at Malachite.

"Neither have I, Zoi, Malachite said, pausing his pacing to look at the frozen generals. "Not even with them." He resumed his pacing around the small, damp room. "We better not screw this up. We might get a fate worse than them," his voice shaking enough to betray how scared he really was.

"Then we better come up with a back up plan, in case this one doesn't go so well," Zoicite said, his eyes coming back to the generals, a shiver of fear running down his spine. He did not want to end up like them.

"This plan will work," Malachite said, stopping to glare at Zoicite, but quickly gave up since the other man refused to look at him. "I am checking on our annoying guests." His cape flared out as he left the room.

Zoicite stood up and walked over to the general's coffins. Defeat and despair ran through him, quickly turning to anger. "If only I had captured them all," he whispered to the air around him. "Damn it!" he yelled, slamming his fists into the coffins. Then with a quick turn he walked out of the room to check on the youma. He didn't notice the cracks that ran down the coffins.

Back in Tokyo:

Darien opened his apartment door and allowed the three girls to enter before him. "Welcome to my humble abode," he said with a small bow.

Angel and Serena giggled, and Rose just smiled softly at the comment.

Luna and Artemis came running out of the bedroom, but stopped short at the sight of the two strangers, their fur rising slightly along their backs.

"Meow..."Luna glared at Serena. 'When I get my hands on that girl, I will claw her to death. How dare she go out and play when there are serious matters to attend to here.'

Serena giggled at Luna's menacing look. "Relax, Luna," She said, as she reached down to try to pet the black cat, just to have her hand scratched. "Hey!" She retracted her hand, sending a wounded look at her guardian. Darien took it in his own to inspect the small scratches.

Rose placed her hands on her hips and glared at Luna. "Now is that any way to treat your princess, Luna."

"What!" Luna burst out, before Artemis slapped a paw to her mouth.

Rose chuckled at the two cats. "We already knew that you two could talk, Artemis."

Artemis eyed the two girls warily. "And just how did you know that? And how do you know our names?"

"Easy, we are sailor scouts," Angel chimed.

'Not everything is as easy as you make it sound, Angel,' Rose rebuffed Angel quietly in her mind, knowing the other would hear. "We will explain everything, but first we need to see to Amy," she spoke up to the others.

"What is wrong with Amy," Darien asked, leading the way to his bedroom.

"She has almost all of her energy drained. Those cuffs did some damage on all of them. She would eventually recover on her own, but it could take days. We don't have that much time," Rose said as she followed Darien.

Lying on the bed was Amy. She was still in the same position that they left her in. Her face was a bit paler, but other than that there were no visible changes in her physical condition.

Serena sat on the bed next to her friend, taking a cold hand in hers. She turned her worried face to Darien, asking with her eyes if she would be okay.

Darien knelt down next to her, offering a small smile. He wrapped his arms around her in an attempt to sooth her frayed nerves. His smile widened when Serena responded by burying her face in his shoulder.

Angel looked over at her sister. 'Are you sure that we can do this?' she used her telepathy to ask her sister. 'I don't want them to get hurt anymore than they already are.'

Rose gently smiled at her. 'We don't really have a choice. They all deserve to know their past.'

Then she cleared her throat to get everyone's attention. "We need to transform. Darien, Serena, you two need to be in your royal forms."

Both nodded their acknowledgement, regretting leaving their embrace.

Serena stood up and moved a little ways away from Darien. Her hand reached down to pull her brooch out of its hiding place, then shot up with it. The new words she needed filled her mind.

"MOON PRISM POWER!"

Her clothes faded away, ribbons flowed out of the locket to form her bodysuit. She crossed her hands in front of her as her gloves appeared. Her boots formed on her feet. Her skirt flared around her body suit. She tilted her head back as her tiara appeared and then the little red orbs appeared in her buns. She struck her pose and opened her eyes to see Darien with his mouth hanging open.

"What?" she asked, blinking at him. A blush was beginning to spread across her cheeks.

Darien shook his head to clear his thoughts, and then he walked over to put his arms around her waist. "I've never seen you transform before. That was amazing!" His voice was husky. He didn't want to mention just yet that she was completely naked before her fuku was formed. He figured that would get him smacked.

Serena giggled at him, nudging him away. "I think you need to transform too."

Darien blushed a little. Then took out a rose. The rose shifted colors as his tuxedo appeared around his body and his mask appeared on his face. He held out his hand and his hat appeared then settled on his head. When he was done he looked down shyly at Sailor Moon, awaiting her reaction.

She just walked up and gently kissed his check and cuddled into his warmth.

Both turned around when they heard giggling.

Angel, of course, was the one giggling. "You guys are so cute," she said bursting out in full-blown laughter.

Rose just smiled. "I agree." Then her hand pulled her rose quartz from its chain, which disappeared, and whispered, "Hands of Destiny, I seek your power."

The colors of purple, gold, aquamarine, black and pink surrounded her, melting her clothes away, forming her white leather shorts and red cotton top. She stretched out her arms and black wings flared at her back briefly before disappearing. Her black boots appeared along with her tiara. She folded her arms in and her staff appeared between her hands. Her left hand grabbed her staff, twirling it, as her right settled on her hip. She opened her eyes and nodded at Angel.

Angel raised her hand, gently pulling her own rose quartz from her chain and whispered, "Cupid's Love, grant me your strength."

The colors of orange, blue, red, green, and pink surrounded her melting away her clothes and forming her white shorts and red shirt. Her boots and tiara appeared. Her arms crossed in front of her and white wings flared at her back briefly before disappearing. She stretched her arms out and her staff appeared in front of her. She reached out with her right hand and her staff moved to her hand. She pulled it close to her body as her left hand moved to sooth back her hair. She looked up and smiled brightly at the group.

Destiny smiled at Love. 'It is time,' she whispered in her mind.

'Ready to rock and roll,' was the mental response.

They moved to either side of the bed. Love turned to Luna and Artemis, who were staring at them in shock, and spoke, "I suggest that you two wait over by the door. Oh, and close your mouths."

Luna and Artemis both slammed their mouths shut, then moved to the door as was requested of them by the dark Guardian.

"And you two need to be in you royal forms," Destiny added to the young couple.

Sailor Moon nodded. Her hand moving to the crystal so she could concentrate her energy. Her fuku shifted to her royal form.

Tux watched her with pride, not noticing that his own form shifted automatically into his armor.

Love motioned for them to stand at the foot of the bed. "Are you ready?" her tone suddenly very serious.

Serenity nodded her head, the crystal resting in the space above her hand. "Princess Healing Activation!"

Endymion wrapped his arms around her, trying to help her as she channeled her power into the crystal.

"Love Power!"

"Destiny Power!"

"Moon Crystal Power!"

All three powers surrounded the crystal, channeling their energy to the small unconscious girl in lying on the bed, healing her wounds and restoring her energy. Amy's eyes fluttered open as she felt the power soaring through her.

Serenity slumped slightly into Endymion. Happiness that her friend was all right filled her mind. 'Amy is okay!' her mind screamed.

Amy looked up at Serenity in confusion. She recognized the girl in front of her, but she couldn't place a name to the face in front of her.

Serenity sat down next to her friend, once again taking her hand. "How are you feeling, Ames?"

Comprehension dawned on Amy's quick mind. Her eyes widened. "Serena, you're the princess?"

Serenity nodded and smiled, helping Amy to sit up. "Kinda funny how we were searching for her, when she was me all along," Serenity joked lightly.

Amy looked around her. To her right was a blond scout she couldn't recognize, leaning on a staff that resembled a key. To her left was another. Then in front of her was a handsome man in black armor. He also looked familiar. "Darien?"

He nodded his head at her. A small smile across his face.

Luna and Artemis jumped on the bed next to Amy. "How are you doing?" they both asked.

"I'm fine," Amy smiled reassuringly at them. "But does someone want to explain what is going on? And who are they?" She motioned to Sailor Love and Sailor Destiny.

Love and Serenity giggled, causing Amy to lift a brow.

Serenity squeezed Amy's hands with her own. "This will help explain some of your questions." She placed a finger to Amy's forehead, the symbol of Mercury shown brightly. "In the name of the Moon, awaken Princess Amy."

Amy's eyes fluttered closed, lulled by Serenity's soft voice. "In the name of Mercury..."
