"House of Memories"
By Sailor Staria
PART 26
I read the article over and over again. I couldn't believe
it. They thought
we were all missing! And someone else thought it was a
conspiracy of some
sort. Great just great! I was about to call Linds when the phone
rang.
"Hello?"
"Cape Boy have you seen the paper!?!?!?!??!"
"Yeah I have, I was just about to call you. You mean you
actually read the
paper? Amazing."
"DARIEN!!! This is no time for jokes. This is serious!!!"
She yelled.
"DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT!!!!!!!!!!! Those jerks took
Serena and now
this. I KNOW DAMN WELL THAT THIS IS SERIOUS LINDSEY!!!!"
"Whoa. Sorry, I hadn't realized you were taking it this
hard. I'm sorry."
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. "Sorry Linds
I didn't mean
to blow up at you. God I hope she's ok."
"Hey you want me to come over? Andy already called me and
asked what was
going on. I told him that it was a lie and not to worry."
"Sure if you want to. I have to call my boss and make sure
he's not
steamed. But I think I'll wait a little bit on that one."
"Good Idea."
"Do me a favor call Rei on the communicator and plan a
meeting today around
noon. Ok?"
"Sure thing. I'll see you then." she hung up and I placed
to phone back on
the receiver.
"If they harm on hair on her I'll rip them all apart." I
growled.
"Darien I think you should try to calm down." Luna said.
"You know as well
as I do that Beryl will only use your anger to her advantage."
"Yes I know." I inhaled slowly and refolded the paper. "I'm
going for a run
to clear my head."
I don't know what it is about running but it always seems
to help me
release some anger. Karate does the same for me, but I doubt I
could find
anyone to spar with me at the moment. I made sure to avoid the
game center
so I wouldn't have to explain things to Andrew. I mainly stayed
on the
lesser traveled paths through Fairview Park. I knew that the
Negaverse had
taken Serena but what was Diamonds role in all of this? He
hadn't shown up
again since the bathroom incident, but I couldn't help thinking
he was
playing a major role in all of this. And what about Sailor
Pluto? She didn't
do anything when Kunzite took my princess. The snobs at least
tried to help.
What's her game? She said she was on our side but I can't help
but wonder.
After about two hours of running I headed back to the house
and grabbed a
shower before heading to the temple. This meeting was very
important.
Part 27
We were all at the temple having our meeting yet no one had said a word for an hour
now. Rei knelled in front of the fire. Ami, Lita, Mina, and Linds sat on mats behind her. The
outers were leaning against the far wall and I was leaning near the door, with Luna and Artemis
at my feet. After about twenty more minuets the fire flared up and Rei sigh in defeat.
"Nothing."
"WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!" I yelled.
"Sorry Darien, but something's blocking her from my readings."
"They could have her in some sort of force field that blocks her energy waves." Ami said.
"Maybe." Linds agreed.
"Well what are we going to do about it?" Lita asked.
"Look! We don't have time to sit here and ponder this crap!" I yelled. "Every minuet we
sit here it gets harder and harder to find her!!!!"
"Darien you really need to calm down." Linds said.
"Calm down? YOU want me to CALM down!?!?!??! How can you expect me to be calm
when I don't what's wrong because I can't sense Serena any more!!!!" I was fighting hard now
to hold back the tears that threatened to fall.
Everyone was silent and we heard Chad yell, "WACO on the premises!!!! Rei let me
in!!!" He banged on the doors.
"CHAD GO GET GRAMPS!!" Rei yelled and we all headed out side. There Kunzite
levitated about us.
"Where's Serena?" I demanded.
"Quiet Endymion! Now give me the crystal or your beloved princess will die."
"WHAT are you talking about? We don't have it!" I growled. "Now give Serena back."
"Now why would I want to do that? We have other plans for her." and with that he
vanished.
"That son of a...." before the last word escaped my mouth Linds hand covered on.
"Now what was that you were telling me earlier about watching my words at the temple
Cape boy?"
"Ok, Ok Guilty as charged. But those Nega-scum bags get on my nerves."
"We all know how you feel, but we'll get through this."
"And now we know they won't hurt her since they have plans." Mina said.
"Yeah, so I won't have to fork over this." The silver crystal appeared in Linds's hand.
"Where... How...." I stumbled for words.
"Serena some how sent it to me and through a dream I learned why." Linds started. "
Before the Moon kingdom go the crystal it belong to the Earth kingdom and only female royalty
can use it's power."
"So we can still save her and use the crystal if need be." Rei said.
"Yeah, but where do we start?" Lita asked.
I instantly turned to Setsuna. "You're the guardian of time so I know you know what
happens."
"Yes Endymion I know, but I can't tell you. That would ruin your test."
"Test?"
"Yes this a test of your's and Serenity's love. I can't tell you what to do."
"A test." I said again, quietly.
After the meeting broke up I headed to the park for a walk. Linds had tagged along. She
was probably worried about me.
"Darien?"
"Hum."
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"It's not really a matter of being ok, Linds. I have to deal with this and that's that."
"Well I just don't want you doing anything drastic."
"Linds have you forgotten who you're talking to?" I laughed.
"Well you never know Cape boy."
"What a cute scene. Brother and sister discussing death." an evil voice said. I looked up
and saw Diamond in front of us. His cape was hiding something, but I couldn't tell what.
"What the hell do you want now Diamond!?!?!??!" I yelled.
"Just to watch your heart crumble into a million tiny pieces." He moved his cape and
revealed Serena. She wasn't herself though. The usual white princess gown was now jet black
with a metallic purple trimming in stead of gold. Her crescent moon was now a dark moon
symbol and her usually joyful blue eyes were now glowed an evil silver.
"Serena!" Linds yelled.
"She looked at us but only glared. I cringed as Diamond pulled her closer to him and she
didn't resist.
"What have you done to her?" I growled quietly as a single tear escaped. What happened
next is what sent me over the deep end. SHE KISSED HIM!!!!!!!!!! Not the other way around.
She fully kissed him on the lips! Without realizing it I transformed.
"Cape boy, calm down." Linds pleaded, before transforming as well. "EARTH
POWER!!! MAKE UP!!"
"Now, now." Diamond said. "I'm not her for a battle. I just wanted to show you how
your princess really felt." Serena still clung to him, resting her head on his shoulder. I was about
to throw a rose at him, but they vanished. The hot tears now flowed freely. My costume faded
away as did Linds's as she came over and gave me a hug.
"I'm sorry." She said.
"I'll get her back if it's the last thing I do."
Linds's communicator beeped and Ami's face appeared in the window.
"There's a monster attack at the arcade. We could use some help."
"On our way." Linds said. "Here we go again. EARTH POWER MAKE UP!!!"
When we got there Andrew and ton of kids were drained of energy and out cold. The
monster looked like a werewolf with neon pink fur.
"Supreme Thunder!!!" Jupiter attacked. The inners were all there but the outers were
absent. Surprise, surprise. Earth dove in with a kick to the creature's jaw and readied her attack.
"Earth Blossom Bomb Explosion!!!" A cluster of pink lights that resembled flowers
ripped into the creature's side. As it vanished a huge warp hole opened up. Something told me it
lead to the Negaverse. I ran into it before anyone could stop me. It closed just as I passed
through and I found myself in a dark land.
Part 28
An evil breeze ruffled through my cape. I had some how gained my armor and prince get up when I went through the warp. I could feel a change in my power as well. In the distance was a castle. I knew that's were they were, and they most likely knew I was coming. I heard foot septs coming, so I jumped into a near by tree and hid among the branches.
A woman with long, yellowish-green hair was walking down the path. She was a dark moon symbol on het forehead and was dressed in a tight, dark green mini dress with long, matching gloves and knee high boots. Three large gems hung from her necklace and a matching one adorned her wrist. She grasped a pink feathered fan in one hand. I have to admit she was beautiful, but no match for my meatball head. She didn't seem too harmful, maybe she could help me out. She was close enough for me to hear her talking to herself.
"What does he see in her? She's a child compared to me. But no, he had to have his princess and turn her dark, so she would love him." She said bitterly. "Diamond why can't you love me?"
Ah so this lady like Diamond. Good! Maybe I can convince her that if I can get Serena back Diamond will be all hers. I jumped from the tree and landed behind her. She turned and looked at me.
"Who are you?" she demanded.
"Endymion. I want Serenity back."
"That stupid mashed potato brain who stole my Diamond! You can have her!"
"It's not that simple. You know as well as I do that diamond has her under a spell.
"Yes, so."
"I need your help."
"Hum... if I help you I could get in a lot of trouble, but then again if I can get Princess Pigtails out of my way Diamond will be mine. Alright you've got a deal, but the second she's in your sight all ties are broken. Got it Princy?"
"Yes, now where's he keeping her?"
"The palace. Now you can't go like that. Beryl will have you caught in a second. Follow me, we need to get you a disguise."
An hour, a new outfit and a fake mustache later I was almost ready.
"No she'll still know those stunning eyes. Hold still." she blow some power into my eyes but it didn't sting. Then she handed me a mirror. My eyes were an evil shade of gold.
"Now don't cry, not that you would, because it will wash out the tint." I nodded and walked over to a full length mirror to see how I looked. I was wearing a pair of black pants with a black turtle neck. My sword and hilt still hung in place from my belt. A gold, high collared cape replaced my black and red one. It connected with a double gold chain across my collar bone. The thin line, yet real looking, mustache mad me feel almost Italian and with the freshly changed eye color gave my face a whole new look. Yet something was still missing.
"OUCH!" I yelled in pain as something impaled my left earlobe. I turned to Emerald who was smiling evilly. "What the hell was that for!?!?!?!"
"Sorry Princy, but all the guys here have at least one pierced ear.
"I look in the mirror again and saw hanging from my now beat red ear was a small gold hoop. God I'm gonna have fun explaining this to Linds and Andrew.
"You could have fucking warned me first."
She simply shrugged and looked me over. Ok I'm starting to feel like a piece of meat at the market again!
"Will you stop that."
"I'm just making sure everything's right, hansom."
I rolled my eyes and strained my cape.
"Now for a name incase anyone asked......" Emerald pondered. "Goldwyn."
"Fine whatever, Can we go now?" I gave her my best evil glare.
"You'll do fine." She said and lead me out the door.
PART 29
Emerald and I walked right past Kunzite and he barely gave me a second glance. The
palace was very dark with black marble floors, walls and ceilings. Every now and then a crystal
or a blood red, silk cloth would add color to the walls. Someone stopped us a few doors ahead.
He looked a lot like me only with dark blue hair and a dark moon symbol on his forehead. He
wore white slacks and a dark blue jacket.
"Emerald who is this?" He asked.
"Relax Sapphire, this is Goldwyn. I just recruited him to help with the take over."
"Did Diamond approve of it?"
"Would I ever deceive my prince Sapphire? Get a clue." Emerald laughed and pulled me
past Sapphire. "Don't worry about him. He's just Diamond's over protective brother." I knew
Sapphire was following us so I kept quiet.
We finally stopped outside of a large set of doors. I could hear Beryl inside talking.
"Diamond! You haven't held up your end of the bargain. I have gotten you your Princess,
but where's my heart's desire?"
"Queen Beryl, Endymion's not as easy to catch as we would have liked. He got away
before we could place a spell on him." Diamond lied.
So Beryl's after me for herself. That's a scary thought. I cringed slightly. I wonder if
Emerald knew this. Could she simply be setting me up? I'd be walking strait into the trap, but I
have to risk it for Serena's sake.
"She's not with him. This way." Emerald lead me up another flight of stairs and to the
last door in the corridor.
"She's in there. You're on you're own Princey." With that she turned and left quickly.
I entered the room and saw her sitting in front of a mirror just looking at herself. My
breath caught when I saw her. Even in this evil state she was still stunning. I moved closer to her
and she turned at the sound of my foot steps. I smiled but she looked at me uncertainly.
"Who are you?" her now iced voice asked me.
"Serena what have they done to you?" I continued to walk closer.
"Answer me!" she demanded, "Who let you in here?"
"No one, I came in on my own. Serena please listen to me......"
"Why should I?"
"Because I love you. We belong together Serena. Please remember what we have."
"We? There is no we? I don't even know who you are?" the cold words stung my heart.
Tears came to my eyes and I could see the gold wash away from my reflection in the mirror. I
took off the fake facial hair looked her in the eyes.
"Serena tell me....... tell me you know this face."
She gasped and her hand flew up to her mouth. I smiled hoping this was good but the
next thing I know she screaming for Diamond to come and save her from me! I was trying to
save here from him! Taking another chance I grabbed he but the waist and pulled her towards
me. I bent my head down and kissed her with all the passion I had for her. We were surrounded
by a white light as the door opened and Diamond, Sapphire, and Kunzite rushed in. I saw them
but simply kissed my love harder. I was thrilled when I felt her respond. The light grew
brightened and everything around us was blocked from view. When it faded we were back in our
home, still in each other arms. Serena was back in her normal princess garb and had her arms
tied around my neck.
"Thank you for saving me, my prince." She kissed me and I returned the favor. I pulled
away when she started to giggle while playing with my ear.
"What's so funny?"
"When did you do this?" She asked and pulled slightly on the gold hoop.
"Um, all part of fitting in to save you." I said with a silly grin on my face.
"It's cute, but how are you gonna explain it to Andrew?"
"Forget Andrew. Linds is the one who's gonna flip." I laughed and kissed my love again.
It was around midnight when I was finally starting to drift off to sleep. Serena had
zonked out shortly after I saved her. I had simply laid in bed thinking. Things weren't over yet,
and now I had to worry about Beryl even more. She was after me for some reason. Why I have
no clue. (Staria: "hum let's see, why would Beryl want him? Cape Boy's a total stud muffin!
Who wouldn't want him!?!?!?" Darien: *sweet drop* "Um can we just go back to the story?"
Staria: "I guess.....") Now the rain fall was slowing putting me to sleep, that is until....
CRASH!!!!!!!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" I could hear Serena's scream loud and
clear followed by her running into my room, jumping into be with me (Staria: "Cape Boy
nothing Hentai I have a reputation to keep." Darien *sweet drop and turns red*) and hiding
under the covers. I looked at the lump next to me.
"Problem Meatball Head?"
"I hate thunder!!!" CRASH!!! "AAAAHHH!!!!!"
"OUCH!! Serena I'd like to be able to feel my legs, thank you."
"Sorry, I just....." CRASH!!!! "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" I Pulled her into my
arms and calmed her down. CRASH!!!
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" She curled up tighter to me. It went in that cycle for most of
the night. The only part I really minded was her screaming in my ear every now and then. Lets
just say neither one of us got too much sleep. That's why I guess I slept until noon, and she did
the same.
Part 30
I woke up to the phone ringing around noon. Serena was asleep next to me looked too
cute to wake up. I reached over her to get the phone.
"Hello." I said.
"DARIEN ARE YOU INSANE!!!!!!" Linds screamed in my ear.
"Nice to talk to you too."
"Luna just told me you got back. I can't believe you did that! You could have been
killed!"
"I'm well aware of that, but I had to save Serena. There was no way I was going to leave
her there."
"Well at least you're both safe. Listen we're all going to the arcade, you guys wanna
come? We wanna know what happened."
"Sure as soon as Serena wakes up we'll be there."
"Ok. Later!"
"Serena." I said into her ear. "Time to get up." She stirred a little but that was all. So I
decided to try the fair tale method and leaned to kissed her. That got a reaction!
"Mmmmm... Darien."
"About time you woke up Meatball Head." I said and kisses her again.
"But I was having a great dream."
"Oh really now?"
"Uh huh."
"About what?"
"You of coarse, silly!" she giggled and wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me.
About twenty minutes later we finally headed down stairs for some brunch, before
heading to the arcade. Once we got there how ever all the inners bitched at me for being so
irrational, but at the same time were grateful to have Serena back. Then Linds walked in the
door.
"Hi guys! Did I miss any.... oh my god! Darien what is this?!?!?!?!" She pulled on my ear
ring.
"Ouch! Watch it that smarts. It's just an ear ring."
"Buy why? I mean YOU of all people. I just couldn't see it possible."
"It was part of my disguise to save Serena. All the guys in the Negaverse have at least
one pierced ear. I had to, to fit in."
"Besides," Serena spoke up. "It's cute!" This time I had to fight to keep a slight blush
down.
"Hahahahahaha." I heard Andrew laughing as he walked up. "Pimping out now are you
Darien?"
"Very funny Andrew." hopefully he hadn't heard the Negaverse talk.
"So what's with the ear ring?"
"Um...... I lost a bet."
*Staria: Yeah Cape boy you do that A LOT! We all know that's why you have to wear the ugly
lavender tux in the future! Darien: (Sweat drop) what are you talking about? Staria: Fine just
play dumb. I'll get even later!*
Andrew just laughed harder. Well I couldn't very well tell him the truth. Before I had to
explain more the door opened in three people walked in. It was none other than Diamond,
Emerald, and Kunzite. They all came right over to our group and glared at me. Emerald looked
nervous for some reason.
"Can I help you?" Andrew asked, not know what was going on.
"Our business is with Endymion and Serenity." Diamond said.
"Who?"
"Andrew get everyone out of hear now." I said not taking my eyes away from the trio.
"But why Darien?"
"Andy just do it ok." Linds said.
Still confused Andy usurered everyone but us out. He locked the door after wards and
looked at us.
"Andrew you should leave too." Lita said.
"No way. This is my families arcade. If it gets trashed dad'll be pissed. Besides I'm not
leaving my friends here with out knowing what's going on."
Damn it Andrew why can't you just leave! This is going to be hard enough as it is.
"Be quiet." Diamond ordered being fed up with this little game. "Endymion I don't know
how you and Serenity escaped us but it won't happen again." With that he fired a blast of dark
energy at us. The inners all dodged and I pushed Serena out of the way. After wards Linds was
the first to react.
"You bastard! You'll pay for all you've done. Earth Power Make up!"
The other girls followed suit.
"Mars Power Make Up!
"Venus Power Make Up!"
"Mercury Power Make Up!"
"Jupiter Power Make Up!"
"Moon Cosmic Power Make Up!"
I transformed as well. Unfortunately Andrew saw it all. We'll have to deal with that later
though.
"Supreme Thunder!" Jupiter yelled and threw lighting at Emerald. We had all split up to
attack out enemies. Jupiter, Earth and Mercury were handling Emerald. Venus and Mars were
tackling the problem with Kunzite while Moon and I had taken on Diamond.
"Earth Blossom Bomb Explode!" Earth threw an orb of glowing pink energy at Emerald.
"Mercury Bubbles Blast!" Mercury followed suit and both attacks hit her head on.
"Supreme Thunder!" Emerald managed to dodge and threw her own attack at the group.
"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"
"Fire Soul!" Mars attacked with Venus and they managed to hit Kunzite.
"You won't defeat me that easily Sailor Brats! Take this!" Kunzite attacked them back.
We all regrouped when things started going no where.
"We need to attack together. This isn't working." Venus said.
"We need more power." Mars said.
As if on cue a large mass of gold energy bust through the door and hit Kunzite from
behind. He screamed in pain as he vanished into dust. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto appeared in
the door and ran over to the inners and myself.
"Princess, we're here to lend our strength." Pluto said.
"Right!" Moon said and the girls all readied them selves.
"Mercury Bubbles...."
"Venus Crescent Beam...."
"Earth Blossom Bomb...."
"Moon Tiara...."
"Fire...."
"Supreme..."
"World..."
"Deep...."
"Dead..."
"BLAST!!!!"
"SMASH!!!!"
"EXPLODE!!"
"MAGIC!!!"< br> "SOUL!!!"
"THUNDER!!!"
"SHAKING!!!"
"SUBMERGE!!!"
"SCRE AM!!!"
The combined attacks made a force far too great for emerald and Diamond to dodge.
They where both instantly killed and turned to dust. The outs left right after wards while the rest
of us went to make sure Andrew was alright since he hadn't left.
"Andrew are you alright?" Jupiter asked.
"You guys are...."
"Yeah. We are." Earth said.
"Sorry you had find out this way." I said to my best friend. "But I'm afraid that now
you're in danger as well, simply because you know."
"But you guys are...."
"Yes Andrew we're the Scouts." Venus said. We all untransformed hoping to calm him
down.
"You guys have A LOT of explaining to do." Andrew finally said getting a hold of
himself.
PART 31
After a few hours Andrew had gotten the gist of what was going on.
"Now Andy you HAVE to keep this to yourself." Linds said.
"No I thought I'd go announce it to the world." he said sarcastically. "Don't worry I'll take
it to my grave."
"Linds lay off the guy." I said. "We need to deal with a bigger problem right now."
"Yeah. Beryl." Rei said.
"That witch is gonna get it." Lita said making a fist.
"But we need a rational plan." Ami said pulling out her mini computer.
"Well we can't get any help the way I did." I mumbled.
"What?" Serena game me a funny look. "What are you talking about?"
"Well um..... I kinda ran into emerald there and she helped me sneak in. She only did it
to get you out so she could have Daimond, but now they're both gone so it's in the past."
"Oh. I was just wondering." Serena said.
"Can't we just find the entrance to the place and go busting in?" Mina asked, playing
with a napkin.
"We have no clue where it is." ami stated.
"I'm sure Luna and Artemis could locate it for us."
"What about the outers?" Linds asked. "Should we have them in on this too?"
"It couldn't hurt. We have no clue how strong Beryl is and we could use the extra
power." Mina said. "I'll go talk to them now." she ran off after that.
Later that evening we all gathered together at the temple.
"Are you sure you're all ready for this?" Luna asked.
"It's going to be tough." Artemis warned.
"Yeah, yeah we're ready. Let's get going. MOON PRISM POWER! MAKE UP!"
"Mercury Power! MAKE UP!"
"Mars Power! MAKE UP!"
"Jupiter Power! MAKE UP!"
"Venus Power! MAKE UP!"
"Earth Power! MAKE UP!"
"Uranus Planet Power! MAKE UP!"
"Neptune Planet Power! MAKE UP!"
"Pluto Planet Power! MAKE UP!"
As the girls all transformed I took on my Tuxedo Mask form. After that Luna instructed us all
to take hands in a circle and concentrate on defeating Beryl. I closed my eyes and held Serena's
hand firmly in one hand and Linds's in the other. As I thought of killing the witch I felt a wind
pick up and shortly after it got really cold. I opened my eyes and found that we were in a barren
wasteland of snow.
"Mercury where are we?" Jupiter asked looking around.
"Somewhere in the northern latitudes."
"No shit it's freezing here!" Linds said while hopping around some to warm up.
"We'd better get a move on." Venus said taking the lead.
About an hour later there was still nothing in sight.
"Can't we hire a dog sled or something?" Moon asked and I held back a laugh. We had to
stay focused.
"Hold on a minute." Mercury said. "I'm getting life readings up ahead.
"Be on guard." Mars said.
"Right."
As we reached the top of the hill we came face to face with five monsters. They weren't
that bad looking but they were still monsters. They seemed to be a cross between playboy
bunnies and bugs.
"Who are you?" Mars demanded.
"We're called the Doom and Gloom Girls." The first one said. She had blue skin and
appeared to be the leader. "This is your end Sailor Scouts."
The outers all stepped forward.
"Princess, Prince, you and the other scouts go on ahead." Pluto said.
"We'll deal with this trash." Uranus added.
"No way. Five verse three is in no way fair." Jupiter said. "I'll stay and help you guys."
"Me too." Venus said. "Moon get a move on it. You guys need to get Beryl."
"But..." Moon started.
"Thanks girls. We'll take care of her." I said. "Come on Sailor Moon."
As the five of us headed closer to Beryl's palace we had no clue how the others were
doing and I knew we were all worried about them. Moon kept looking back hoping they would
catch back up with us. But they didn't.
"What happened to them?" she asked quietly.
"Sailor Moon you have to be strong." I said not wanting to sound cruel but trying to keep
her focused for the fight ahead.
As we moved on there was still no sign of the outers, Jupiter or Venus. Then out of no where
two of the Doom and Gloom Girls appeared.
"Say bye bye!" The leader said and raised her hands in the air. As energy shot forth we
all jumped out of the way.
"MERCURY BUBBLES! BLAST!!"
"MARS FIRE IGNITE!"
The attacks killed the evil bitches, but where too close and got Mars and Mercury as
well. It took a lot of strength to turn away but we had to move on. The fate of the world was in
our hands. I went to Moon's side a placed a hand on her shoulder.
"We need to go." I said as gently as I could.
"Tuxedo Mask! My friends are dead damn it! What can I do?" She was about to cry.
Earth came up to us, he face emotionless.
"Sailor Moon this is your destiny. You must fulfill it. Once Beryl is gone we will return
with your wishes."
She didn't sound at all like herself. She seemed even more out of it than usual. I watched
as her eyes rolled up into her head and he fell forward onto the snow.
"Sailor Earth!" Moon and I gasped. A large ice spear was sticking out of her back and
fresh blood oozed out around it staining the once white sailor suit.
"Who..." I started to say but never got a chance to finish. A pink, glowing sphere
encompassed us. It became hard to breath and I saw Moon pass out and shortly after I did as
well, fighting the darkness but failing.
When I finally came around I cloud feel the cold marble floor beneath me. My body
ached all over and I cloud barely move. I wasn't being held down from what I cloud tell, but I
might have been.
"Oh... my head....." Moon moaned as she sat up slowly.
"So you finally woke up." an evil female voice said, sending chills down my spine. "It's
a pleasure to finally be meeting you. However I'm afraid it shall be our last encounter Sailor
Moon."
"You're.... You're Queen Beryl!" Moon said.
"Yes, and I shall soon rule this world. Good bye Sailor Moon!" Beryl formed a ball of
energy and was about to hurl it towards Sailor moon when I found the strength to block the way.
"Tuxedo Mask!!! No!!!" Moon cried as I fell into her arms and we both hit the floor. I
cloud feel the attack ripping deeper into my back and my energy leaving my body. I knew I
didn't have much time left.
"Why did you do that?" Moon cried as my head rested on her lap.
"I had to Princess. I never want you to get hurt. Don't worry about me, I'll be with you
always. I'll find some way back to you I promise."
"How sweet, I'm getting sick." Beryl hissed.
As my entire body went limp, my eyes closed and I felt myself leaving my body. All I
was now was my spirit. Sailor Moon was crying full out now over my body that had reverted
back to my normal form. Beryl was getting ready to kill her and I knew she wouldn't see it
coming if I didn't help her. Go to her side I whispered in her ear.
"Serena you have to destroy Beryl, only then can we all return to you. Remember what
Linds told you." She perked up in time to dodger Beryl's attack. "Good job. Now keep your eyes
open and don't be afraid. I'm with you."
"I'm not afraid of you any more Beryl!" Serena screamed and charged at the evil queen,
planting a strong kick to side. Beryl however pushed her away quickly after wards. Serena hit the
floor hard but got back up. She bowed her head and stood still. What was she doing!?!?!?!?!
Before I could yell at her to keep her eyes open a bright white light blinded me. As it faded the
souls of the other scouts where beside me and Serena was in her princess form holding the
crescent moon wand.
"I will defeat you Beryl, in the name of the moon and for my lost loved ones. You're
mine bitch!"
"Oh really now? I'd like to see you try moon brat!" As she spoke Beryl gathered energy
to attack with.
"Moon Cosmic Power!!!" As the two attacks clashed we could all tell Serena was
struggling.
"No I can't fail." She said. "I have to win so I can save everyone. You all mean too much
to me. I need all of you. You are what makes me who I am!" Beryl was starting to gain the upper
hand.
"We've got to help her." I said and all of the scouts agreed. "Hopefully we still can."
I took my place behind Serena and placed my hands over hers, on the wand. Mars stood
on our left and earth on our right. After Mars stood Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. Beside Earth
stood Pluto, Neptune and Uranus. Together we all focused our energy to the crystal.
"Mercury Power!"
"Mars Power!"
"Jupiter Power!"
"Venus Power!"
"Earth Power!"
"Pluto Planet Power!"
"Neptune Planet Power!"
"Uranus Planet Power!"
"Moon Cosmic Power! Unite!"
"What??? What's going on? How can she be so strong? Noooooooo!!!" Beryl screamed
as she faded to dust. Everything went dark as well, but I could hear a faint whispering.
"Please give all of us a second chance......."
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
I groaned as I rolled over and turned off my alarm. I was stiff and my back was killing
me. As I sat up I realized I was alive again. I had to look in the mirror and give myself a good
look over. There was no permeant damage just a few scratches. It had worked. Destroying Beryl
had brought us back. I went down the hall and found Serena sleeping peacefully in her bed. I
really wanted to let her sleep, but she had school too.
I sat down on the edge of her bed and kissed her gently. "Wake up princess." I said.
"Mmm.... Darien??" She said slightly confused as she opened her eyes. "Darien!!" Next
think I knew she was giving me a death grip hug and crying. "You're alright!"
"Yes, we're alive, and the others should be as well." I hugged her as well and kissed the
top of her head. "But we both have class in less than an hour. Get ready and I'll drive you to
class."
Later that day I found Serena at the arcade after class, with Ami, Rei, Lita and Mina. I
joined them and shortly after Linds showed up, energetic as ever.
"Hi guys!" she called. "Great work team!"
"Yeah!" the girls all said and clinked their milk shake glasses.
"Anyone seen Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna?" I asked.
"Um... no. I haven't." Linds said.
"Me either."
"Ditto."
"No clue."
"Not a sign."
"Nope."
"That's because we've been deciding what to do." Haruka said coming through the door,
with Michiru and Setsuna in tow.
"About what?" Ami asked.
"We should talk about it else where." Michiru said.
Fifteen minutes later we were all at the temple, in a secluded area.
"So what's up?" Mina asked getting impatient.
"This was all a test of Serena and Darien's love to see of the were ready to fulfill their
new roles." Haruka said.
"New roles?" I questioned.
"In the near future Endymion you and Serenity will rule this world and keep peace here."
Setsuna said. "How ever it is not time yet. Enjoy your lives as they are. I must return to my post
at the gates of time."
"And we must take care of some business in the United States." Michiru said.
"When we all return it will be time to start the announcements and the begging of Crystal
Tokyo, the future leading city of this world. Until then I wish you all well." Setsuna said and the
three outers took off after saying good bye.
"Take care!" Serena called as they walked out of sight. "Hey who's up for a victory party
at my place?" she said to all of us and smiled.
THE END
By Sailor Staria
PART 26
I read the article over and over again. I couldn't believe
it. They thought
we were all missing! And someone else thought it was a
conspiracy of some
sort. Great just great! I was about to call Linds when the phone
rang.
"Hello?"
"Cape Boy have you seen the paper!?!?!?!??!"
"Yeah I have, I was just about to call you. You mean you
actually read the
paper? Amazing."
"DARIEN!!! This is no time for jokes. This is serious!!!"
She yelled.
"DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT!!!!!!!!!!! Those jerks took
Serena and now
this. I KNOW DAMN WELL THAT THIS IS SERIOUS LINDSEY!!!!"
"Whoa. Sorry, I hadn't realized you were taking it this
hard. I'm sorry."
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. "Sorry Linds
I didn't mean
to blow up at you. God I hope she's ok."
"Hey you want me to come over? Andy already called me and
asked what was
going on. I told him that it was a lie and not to worry."
"Sure if you want to. I have to call my boss and make sure
he's not
steamed. But I think I'll wait a little bit on that one."
"Good Idea."
"Do me a favor call Rei on the communicator and plan a
meeting today around
noon. Ok?"
"Sure thing. I'll see you then." she hung up and I placed
to phone back on
the receiver.
"If they harm on hair on her I'll rip them all apart." I
growled.
"Darien I think you should try to calm down." Luna said.
"You know as well
as I do that Beryl will only use your anger to her advantage."
"Yes I know." I inhaled slowly and refolded the paper. "I'm
going for a run
to clear my head."
I don't know what it is about running but it always seems
to help me
release some anger. Karate does the same for me, but I doubt I
could find
anyone to spar with me at the moment. I made sure to avoid the
game center
so I wouldn't have to explain things to Andrew. I mainly stayed
on the
lesser traveled paths through Fairview Park. I knew that the
Negaverse had
taken Serena but what was Diamonds role in all of this? He
hadn't shown up
again since the bathroom incident, but I couldn't help thinking
he was
playing a major role in all of this. And what about Sailor
Pluto? She didn't
do anything when Kunzite took my princess. The snobs at least
tried to help.
What's her game? She said she was on our side but I can't help
but wonder.
After about two hours of running I headed back to the house
and grabbed a
shower before heading to the temple. This meeting was very
important.
Part 27
We were all at the temple having our meeting yet no one had said a word for an hour
now. Rei knelled in front of the fire. Ami, Lita, Mina, and Linds sat on mats behind her. The
outers were leaning against the far wall and I was leaning near the door, with Luna and Artemis
at my feet. After about twenty more minuets the fire flared up and Rei sigh in defeat.
"Nothing."
"WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!" I yelled.
"Sorry Darien, but something's blocking her from my readings."
"They could have her in some sort of force field that blocks her energy waves." Ami said.
"Maybe." Linds agreed.
"Well what are we going to do about it?" Lita asked.
"Look! We don't have time to sit here and ponder this crap!" I yelled. "Every minuet we
sit here it gets harder and harder to find her!!!!"
"Darien you really need to calm down." Linds said.
"Calm down? YOU want me to CALM down!?!?!??! How can you expect me to be calm
when I don't what's wrong because I can't sense Serena any more!!!!" I was fighting hard now
to hold back the tears that threatened to fall.
Everyone was silent and we heard Chad yell, "WACO on the premises!!!! Rei let me
in!!!" He banged on the doors.
"CHAD GO GET GRAMPS!!" Rei yelled and we all headed out side. There Kunzite
levitated about us.
"Where's Serena?" I demanded.
"Quiet Endymion! Now give me the crystal or your beloved princess will die."
"WHAT are you talking about? We don't have it!" I growled. "Now give Serena back."
"Now why would I want to do that? We have other plans for her." and with that he
vanished.
"That son of a...." before the last word escaped my mouth Linds hand covered on.
"Now what was that you were telling me earlier about watching my words at the temple
Cape boy?"
"Ok, Ok Guilty as charged. But those Nega-scum bags get on my nerves."
"We all know how you feel, but we'll get through this."
"And now we know they won't hurt her since they have plans." Mina said.
"Yeah, so I won't have to fork over this." The silver crystal appeared in Linds's hand.
"Where... How...." I stumbled for words.
"Serena some how sent it to me and through a dream I learned why." Linds started. "
Before the Moon kingdom go the crystal it belong to the Earth kingdom and only female royalty
can use it's power."
"So we can still save her and use the crystal if need be." Rei said.
"Yeah, but where do we start?" Lita asked.
I instantly turned to Setsuna. "You're the guardian of time so I know you know what
happens."
"Yes Endymion I know, but I can't tell you. That would ruin your test."
"Test?"
"Yes this a test of your's and Serenity's love. I can't tell you what to do."
"A test." I said again, quietly.
After the meeting broke up I headed to the park for a walk. Linds had tagged along. She
was probably worried about me.
"Darien?"
"Hum."
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"It's not really a matter of being ok, Linds. I have to deal with this and that's that."
"Well I just don't want you doing anything drastic."
"Linds have you forgotten who you're talking to?" I laughed.
"Well you never know Cape boy."
"What a cute scene. Brother and sister discussing death." an evil voice said. I looked up
and saw Diamond in front of us. His cape was hiding something, but I couldn't tell what.
"What the hell do you want now Diamond!?!?!??!" I yelled.
"Just to watch your heart crumble into a million tiny pieces." He moved his cape and
revealed Serena. She wasn't herself though. The usual white princess gown was now jet black
with a metallic purple trimming in stead of gold. Her crescent moon was now a dark moon
symbol and her usually joyful blue eyes were now glowed an evil silver.
"Serena!" Linds yelled.
"She looked at us but only glared. I cringed as Diamond pulled her closer to him and she
didn't resist.
"What have you done to her?" I growled quietly as a single tear escaped. What happened
next is what sent me over the deep end. SHE KISSED HIM!!!!!!!!!! Not the other way around.
She fully kissed him on the lips! Without realizing it I transformed.
"Cape boy, calm down." Linds pleaded, before transforming as well. "EARTH
POWER!!! MAKE UP!!"
"Now, now." Diamond said. "I'm not her for a battle. I just wanted to show you how
your princess really felt." Serena still clung to him, resting her head on his shoulder. I was about
to throw a rose at him, but they vanished. The hot tears now flowed freely. My costume faded
away as did Linds's as she came over and gave me a hug.
"I'm sorry." She said.
"I'll get her back if it's the last thing I do."
Linds's communicator beeped and Ami's face appeared in the window.
"There's a monster attack at the arcade. We could use some help."
"On our way." Linds said. "Here we go again. EARTH POWER MAKE UP!!!"
When we got there Andrew and ton of kids were drained of energy and out cold. The
monster looked like a werewolf with neon pink fur.
"Supreme Thunder!!!" Jupiter attacked. The inners were all there but the outers were
absent. Surprise, surprise. Earth dove in with a kick to the creature's jaw and readied her attack.
"Earth Blossom Bomb Explosion!!!" A cluster of pink lights that resembled flowers
ripped into the creature's side. As it vanished a huge warp hole opened up. Something told me it
lead to the Negaverse. I ran into it before anyone could stop me. It closed just as I passed
through and I found myself in a dark land.
Part 28
An evil breeze ruffled through my cape. I had some how gained my armor and prince get up when I went through the warp. I could feel a change in my power as well. In the distance was a castle. I knew that's were they were, and they most likely knew I was coming. I heard foot septs coming, so I jumped into a near by tree and hid among the branches.
A woman with long, yellowish-green hair was walking down the path. She was a dark moon symbol on het forehead and was dressed in a tight, dark green mini dress with long, matching gloves and knee high boots. Three large gems hung from her necklace and a matching one adorned her wrist. She grasped a pink feathered fan in one hand. I have to admit she was beautiful, but no match for my meatball head. She didn't seem too harmful, maybe she could help me out. She was close enough for me to hear her talking to herself.
"What does he see in her? She's a child compared to me. But no, he had to have his princess and turn her dark, so she would love him." She said bitterly. "Diamond why can't you love me?"
Ah so this lady like Diamond. Good! Maybe I can convince her that if I can get Serena back Diamond will be all hers. I jumped from the tree and landed behind her. She turned and looked at me.
"Who are you?" she demanded.
"Endymion. I want Serenity back."
"That stupid mashed potato brain who stole my Diamond! You can have her!"
"It's not that simple. You know as well as I do that diamond has her under a spell.
"Yes, so."
"I need your help."
"Hum... if I help you I could get in a lot of trouble, but then again if I can get Princess Pigtails out of my way Diamond will be mine. Alright you've got a deal, but the second she's in your sight all ties are broken. Got it Princy?"
"Yes, now where's he keeping her?"
"The palace. Now you can't go like that. Beryl will have you caught in a second. Follow me, we need to get you a disguise."
An hour, a new outfit and a fake mustache later I was almost ready.
"No she'll still know those stunning eyes. Hold still." she blow some power into my eyes but it didn't sting. Then she handed me a mirror. My eyes were an evil shade of gold.
"Now don't cry, not that you would, because it will wash out the tint." I nodded and walked over to a full length mirror to see how I looked. I was wearing a pair of black pants with a black turtle neck. My sword and hilt still hung in place from my belt. A gold, high collared cape replaced my black and red one. It connected with a double gold chain across my collar bone. The thin line, yet real looking, mustache mad me feel almost Italian and with the freshly changed eye color gave my face a whole new look. Yet something was still missing.
"OUCH!" I yelled in pain as something impaled my left earlobe. I turned to Emerald who was smiling evilly. "What the hell was that for!?!?!?!"
"Sorry Princy, but all the guys here have at least one pierced ear.
"I look in the mirror again and saw hanging from my now beat red ear was a small gold hoop. God I'm gonna have fun explaining this to Linds and Andrew.
"You could have fucking warned me first."
She simply shrugged and looked me over. Ok I'm starting to feel like a piece of meat at the market again!
"Will you stop that."
"I'm just making sure everything's right, hansom."
I rolled my eyes and strained my cape.
"Now for a name incase anyone asked......" Emerald pondered. "Goldwyn."
"Fine whatever, Can we go now?" I gave her my best evil glare.
"You'll do fine." She said and lead me out the door.
PART 29
Emerald and I walked right past Kunzite and he barely gave me a second glance. The
palace was very dark with black marble floors, walls and ceilings. Every now and then a crystal
or a blood red, silk cloth would add color to the walls. Someone stopped us a few doors ahead.
He looked a lot like me only with dark blue hair and a dark moon symbol on his forehead. He
wore white slacks and a dark blue jacket.
"Emerald who is this?" He asked.
"Relax Sapphire, this is Goldwyn. I just recruited him to help with the take over."
"Did Diamond approve of it?"
"Would I ever deceive my prince Sapphire? Get a clue." Emerald laughed and pulled me
past Sapphire. "Don't worry about him. He's just Diamond's over protective brother." I knew
Sapphire was following us so I kept quiet.
We finally stopped outside of a large set of doors. I could hear Beryl inside talking.
"Diamond! You haven't held up your end of the bargain. I have gotten you your Princess,
but where's my heart's desire?"
"Queen Beryl, Endymion's not as easy to catch as we would have liked. He got away
before we could place a spell on him." Diamond lied.
So Beryl's after me for herself. That's a scary thought. I cringed slightly. I wonder if
Emerald knew this. Could she simply be setting me up? I'd be walking strait into the trap, but I
have to risk it for Serena's sake.
"She's not with him. This way." Emerald lead me up another flight of stairs and to the
last door in the corridor.
"She's in there. You're on you're own Princey." With that she turned and left quickly.
I entered the room and saw her sitting in front of a mirror just looking at herself. My
breath caught when I saw her. Even in this evil state she was still stunning. I moved closer to her
and she turned at the sound of my foot steps. I smiled but she looked at me uncertainly.
"Who are you?" her now iced voice asked me.
"Serena what have they done to you?" I continued to walk closer.
"Answer me!" she demanded, "Who let you in here?"
"No one, I came in on my own. Serena please listen to me......"
"Why should I?"
"Because I love you. We belong together Serena. Please remember what we have."
"We? There is no we? I don't even know who you are?" the cold words stung my heart.
Tears came to my eyes and I could see the gold wash away from my reflection in the mirror. I
took off the fake facial hair looked her in the eyes.
"Serena tell me....... tell me you know this face."
She gasped and her hand flew up to her mouth. I smiled hoping this was good but the
next thing I know she screaming for Diamond to come and save her from me! I was trying to
save here from him! Taking another chance I grabbed he but the waist and pulled her towards
me. I bent my head down and kissed her with all the passion I had for her. We were surrounded
by a white light as the door opened and Diamond, Sapphire, and Kunzite rushed in. I saw them
but simply kissed my love harder. I was thrilled when I felt her respond. The light grew
brightened and everything around us was blocked from view. When it faded we were back in our
home, still in each other arms. Serena was back in her normal princess garb and had her arms
tied around my neck.
"Thank you for saving me, my prince." She kissed me and I returned the favor. I pulled
away when she started to giggle while playing with my ear.
"What's so funny?"
"When did you do this?" She asked and pulled slightly on the gold hoop.
"Um, all part of fitting in to save you." I said with a silly grin on my face.
"It's cute, but how are you gonna explain it to Andrew?"
"Forget Andrew. Linds is the one who's gonna flip." I laughed and kissed my love again.
It was around midnight when I was finally starting to drift off to sleep. Serena had
zonked out shortly after I saved her. I had simply laid in bed thinking. Things weren't over yet,
and now I had to worry about Beryl even more. She was after me for some reason. Why I have
no clue. (Staria: "hum let's see, why would Beryl want him? Cape Boy's a total stud muffin!
Who wouldn't want him!?!?!?" Darien: *sweet drop* "Um can we just go back to the story?"
Staria: "I guess.....") Now the rain fall was slowing putting me to sleep, that is until....
CRASH!!!!!!!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" I could hear Serena's scream loud and
clear followed by her running into my room, jumping into be with me (Staria: "Cape Boy
nothing Hentai I have a reputation to keep." Darien *sweet drop and turns red*) and hiding
under the covers. I looked at the lump next to me.
"Problem Meatball Head?"
"I hate thunder!!!" CRASH!!! "AAAAHHH!!!!!"
"OUCH!! Serena I'd like to be able to feel my legs, thank you."
"Sorry, I just....." CRASH!!!! "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" I Pulled her into my
arms and calmed her down. CRASH!!!
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" She curled up tighter to me. It went in that cycle for most of
the night. The only part I really minded was her screaming in my ear every now and then. Lets
just say neither one of us got too much sleep. That's why I guess I slept until noon, and she did
the same.
Part 30
I woke up to the phone ringing around noon. Serena was asleep next to me looked too
cute to wake up. I reached over her to get the phone.
"Hello." I said.
"DARIEN ARE YOU INSANE!!!!!!" Linds screamed in my ear.
"Nice to talk to you too."
"Luna just told me you got back. I can't believe you did that! You could have been
killed!"
"I'm well aware of that, but I had to save Serena. There was no way I was going to leave
her there."
"Well at least you're both safe. Listen we're all going to the arcade, you guys wanna
come? We wanna know what happened."
"Sure as soon as Serena wakes up we'll be there."
"Ok. Later!"
"Serena." I said into her ear. "Time to get up." She stirred a little but that was all. So I
decided to try the fair tale method and leaned to kissed her. That got a reaction!
"Mmmmm... Darien."
"About time you woke up Meatball Head." I said and kisses her again.
"But I was having a great dream."
"Oh really now?"
"Uh huh."
"About what?"
"You of coarse, silly!" she giggled and wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me.
About twenty minutes later we finally headed down stairs for some brunch, before
heading to the arcade. Once we got there how ever all the inners bitched at me for being so
irrational, but at the same time were grateful to have Serena back. Then Linds walked in the
door.
"Hi guys! Did I miss any.... oh my god! Darien what is this?!?!?!?!" She pulled on my ear
ring.
"Ouch! Watch it that smarts. It's just an ear ring."
"Buy why? I mean YOU of all people. I just couldn't see it possible."
"It was part of my disguise to save Serena. All the guys in the Negaverse have at least
one pierced ear. I had to, to fit in."
"Besides," Serena spoke up. "It's cute!" This time I had to fight to keep a slight blush
down.
"Hahahahahaha." I heard Andrew laughing as he walked up. "Pimping out now are you
Darien?"
"Very funny Andrew." hopefully he hadn't heard the Negaverse talk.
"So what's with the ear ring?"
"Um...... I lost a bet."
*Staria: Yeah Cape boy you do that A LOT! We all know that's why you have to wear the ugly
lavender tux in the future! Darien: (Sweat drop) what are you talking about? Staria: Fine just
play dumb. I'll get even later!*
Andrew just laughed harder. Well I couldn't very well tell him the truth. Before I had to
explain more the door opened in three people walked in. It was none other than Diamond,
Emerald, and Kunzite. They all came right over to our group and glared at me. Emerald looked
nervous for some reason.
"Can I help you?" Andrew asked, not know what was going on.
"Our business is with Endymion and Serenity." Diamond said.
"Who?"
"Andrew get everyone out of hear now." I said not taking my eyes away from the trio.
"But why Darien?"
"Andy just do it ok." Linds said.
Still confused Andy usurered everyone but us out. He locked the door after wards and
looked at us.
"Andrew you should leave too." Lita said.
"No way. This is my families arcade. If it gets trashed dad'll be pissed. Besides I'm not
leaving my friends here with out knowing what's going on."
Damn it Andrew why can't you just leave! This is going to be hard enough as it is.
"Be quiet." Diamond ordered being fed up with this little game. "Endymion I don't know
how you and Serenity escaped us but it won't happen again." With that he fired a blast of dark
energy at us. The inners all dodged and I pushed Serena out of the way. After wards Linds was
the first to react.
"You bastard! You'll pay for all you've done. Earth Power Make up!"
The other girls followed suit.
"Mars Power Make Up!
"Venus Power Make Up!"
"Mercury Power Make Up!"
"Jupiter Power Make Up!"
"Moon Cosmic Power Make Up!"
I transformed as well. Unfortunately Andrew saw it all. We'll have to deal with that later
though.
"Supreme Thunder!" Jupiter yelled and threw lighting at Emerald. We had all split up to
attack out enemies. Jupiter, Earth and Mercury were handling Emerald. Venus and Mars were
tackling the problem with Kunzite while Moon and I had taken on Diamond.
"Earth Blossom Bomb Explode!" Earth threw an orb of glowing pink energy at Emerald.
"Mercury Bubbles Blast!" Mercury followed suit and both attacks hit her head on.
"Supreme Thunder!" Emerald managed to dodge and threw her own attack at the group.
"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"
"Fire Soul!" Mars attacked with Venus and they managed to hit Kunzite.
"You won't defeat me that easily Sailor Brats! Take this!" Kunzite attacked them back.
We all regrouped when things started going no where.
"We need to attack together. This isn't working." Venus said.
"We need more power." Mars said.
As if on cue a large mass of gold energy bust through the door and hit Kunzite from
behind. He screamed in pain as he vanished into dust. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto appeared in
the door and ran over to the inners and myself.
"Princess, we're here to lend our strength." Pluto said.
"Right!" Moon said and the girls all readied them selves.
"Mercury Bubbles...."
"Venus Crescent Beam...."
"Earth Blossom Bomb...."
"Moon Tiara...."
"Fire...."
"Supreme..."
"World..."
"Deep...."
"Dead..."
"BLAST!!!!"
"SMASH!!!!"
"EXPLODE!!"
"MAGIC!!!"< br> "SOUL!!!"
"THUNDER!!!"
"SHAKING!!!"
"SUBMERGE!!!"
"SCRE AM!!!"
The combined attacks made a force far too great for emerald and Diamond to dodge.
They where both instantly killed and turned to dust. The outs left right after wards while the rest
of us went to make sure Andrew was alright since he hadn't left.
"Andrew are you alright?" Jupiter asked.
"You guys are...."
"Yeah. We are." Earth said.
"Sorry you had find out this way." I said to my best friend. "But I'm afraid that now
you're in danger as well, simply because you know."
"But you guys are...."
"Yes Andrew we're the Scouts." Venus said. We all untransformed hoping to calm him
down.
"You guys have A LOT of explaining to do." Andrew finally said getting a hold of
himself.
PART 31
After a few hours Andrew had gotten the gist of what was going on.
"Now Andy you HAVE to keep this to yourself." Linds said.
"No I thought I'd go announce it to the world." he said sarcastically. "Don't worry I'll take
it to my grave."
"Linds lay off the guy." I said. "We need to deal with a bigger problem right now."
"Yeah. Beryl." Rei said.
"That witch is gonna get it." Lita said making a fist.
"But we need a rational plan." Ami said pulling out her mini computer.
"Well we can't get any help the way I did." I mumbled.
"What?" Serena game me a funny look. "What are you talking about?"
"Well um..... I kinda ran into emerald there and she helped me sneak in. She only did it
to get you out so she could have Daimond, but now they're both gone so it's in the past."
"Oh. I was just wondering." Serena said.
"Can't we just find the entrance to the place and go busting in?" Mina asked, playing
with a napkin.
"We have no clue where it is." ami stated.
"I'm sure Luna and Artemis could locate it for us."
"What about the outers?" Linds asked. "Should we have them in on this too?"
"It couldn't hurt. We have no clue how strong Beryl is and we could use the extra
power." Mina said. "I'll go talk to them now." she ran off after that.
Later that evening we all gathered together at the temple.
"Are you sure you're all ready for this?" Luna asked.
"It's going to be tough." Artemis warned.
"Yeah, yeah we're ready. Let's get going. MOON PRISM POWER! MAKE UP!"
"Mercury Power! MAKE UP!"
"Mars Power! MAKE UP!"
"Jupiter Power! MAKE UP!"
"Venus Power! MAKE UP!"
"Earth Power! MAKE UP!"
"Uranus Planet Power! MAKE UP!"
"Neptune Planet Power! MAKE UP!"
"Pluto Planet Power! MAKE UP!"
As the girls all transformed I took on my Tuxedo Mask form. After that Luna instructed us all
to take hands in a circle and concentrate on defeating Beryl. I closed my eyes and held Serena's
hand firmly in one hand and Linds's in the other. As I thought of killing the witch I felt a wind
pick up and shortly after it got really cold. I opened my eyes and found that we were in a barren
wasteland of snow.
"Mercury where are we?" Jupiter asked looking around.
"Somewhere in the northern latitudes."
"No shit it's freezing here!" Linds said while hopping around some to warm up.
"We'd better get a move on." Venus said taking the lead.
About an hour later there was still nothing in sight.
"Can't we hire a dog sled or something?" Moon asked and I held back a laugh. We had to
stay focused.
"Hold on a minute." Mercury said. "I'm getting life readings up ahead.
"Be on guard." Mars said.
"Right."
As we reached the top of the hill we came face to face with five monsters. They weren't
that bad looking but they were still monsters. They seemed to be a cross between playboy
bunnies and bugs.
"Who are you?" Mars demanded.
"We're called the Doom and Gloom Girls." The first one said. She had blue skin and
appeared to be the leader. "This is your end Sailor Scouts."
The outers all stepped forward.
"Princess, Prince, you and the other scouts go on ahead." Pluto said.
"We'll deal with this trash." Uranus added.
"No way. Five verse three is in no way fair." Jupiter said. "I'll stay and help you guys."
"Me too." Venus said. "Moon get a move on it. You guys need to get Beryl."
"But..." Moon started.
"Thanks girls. We'll take care of her." I said. "Come on Sailor Moon."
As the five of us headed closer to Beryl's palace we had no clue how the others were
doing and I knew we were all worried about them. Moon kept looking back hoping they would
catch back up with us. But they didn't.
"What happened to them?" she asked quietly.
"Sailor Moon you have to be strong." I said not wanting to sound cruel but trying to keep
her focused for the fight ahead.
As we moved on there was still no sign of the outers, Jupiter or Venus. Then out of no where
two of the Doom and Gloom Girls appeared.
"Say bye bye!" The leader said and raised her hands in the air. As energy shot forth we
all jumped out of the way.
"MERCURY BUBBLES! BLAST!!"
"MARS FIRE IGNITE!"
The attacks killed the evil bitches, but where too close and got Mars and Mercury as
well. It took a lot of strength to turn away but we had to move on. The fate of the world was in
our hands. I went to Moon's side a placed a hand on her shoulder.
"We need to go." I said as gently as I could.
"Tuxedo Mask! My friends are dead damn it! What can I do?" She was about to cry.
Earth came up to us, he face emotionless.
"Sailor Moon this is your destiny. You must fulfill it. Once Beryl is gone we will return
with your wishes."
She didn't sound at all like herself. She seemed even more out of it than usual. I watched
as her eyes rolled up into her head and he fell forward onto the snow.
"Sailor Earth!" Moon and I gasped. A large ice spear was sticking out of her back and
fresh blood oozed out around it staining the once white sailor suit.
"Who..." I started to say but never got a chance to finish. A pink, glowing sphere
encompassed us. It became hard to breath and I saw Moon pass out and shortly after I did as
well, fighting the darkness but failing.
When I finally came around I cloud feel the cold marble floor beneath me. My body
ached all over and I cloud barely move. I wasn't being held down from what I cloud tell, but I
might have been.
"Oh... my head....." Moon moaned as she sat up slowly.
"So you finally woke up." an evil female voice said, sending chills down my spine. "It's
a pleasure to finally be meeting you. However I'm afraid it shall be our last encounter Sailor
Moon."
"You're.... You're Queen Beryl!" Moon said.
"Yes, and I shall soon rule this world. Good bye Sailor Moon!" Beryl formed a ball of
energy and was about to hurl it towards Sailor moon when I found the strength to block the way.
"Tuxedo Mask!!! No!!!" Moon cried as I fell into her arms and we both hit the floor. I
cloud feel the attack ripping deeper into my back and my energy leaving my body. I knew I
didn't have much time left.
"Why did you do that?" Moon cried as my head rested on her lap.
"I had to Princess. I never want you to get hurt. Don't worry about me, I'll be with you
always. I'll find some way back to you I promise."
"How sweet, I'm getting sick." Beryl hissed.
As my entire body went limp, my eyes closed and I felt myself leaving my body. All I
was now was my spirit. Sailor Moon was crying full out now over my body that had reverted
back to my normal form. Beryl was getting ready to kill her and I knew she wouldn't see it
coming if I didn't help her. Go to her side I whispered in her ear.
"Serena you have to destroy Beryl, only then can we all return to you. Remember what
Linds told you." She perked up in time to dodger Beryl's attack. "Good job. Now keep your eyes
open and don't be afraid. I'm with you."
"I'm not afraid of you any more Beryl!" Serena screamed and charged at the evil queen,
planting a strong kick to side. Beryl however pushed her away quickly after wards. Serena hit the
floor hard but got back up. She bowed her head and stood still. What was she doing!?!?!?!?!
Before I could yell at her to keep her eyes open a bright white light blinded me. As it faded the
souls of the other scouts where beside me and Serena was in her princess form holding the
crescent moon wand.
"I will defeat you Beryl, in the name of the moon and for my lost loved ones. You're
mine bitch!"
"Oh really now? I'd like to see you try moon brat!" As she spoke Beryl gathered energy
to attack with.
"Moon Cosmic Power!!!" As the two attacks clashed we could all tell Serena was
struggling.
"No I can't fail." She said. "I have to win so I can save everyone. You all mean too much
to me. I need all of you. You are what makes me who I am!" Beryl was starting to gain the upper
hand.
"We've got to help her." I said and all of the scouts agreed. "Hopefully we still can."
I took my place behind Serena and placed my hands over hers, on the wand. Mars stood
on our left and earth on our right. After Mars stood Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. Beside Earth
stood Pluto, Neptune and Uranus. Together we all focused our energy to the crystal.
"Mercury Power!"
"Mars Power!"
"Jupiter Power!"
"Venus Power!"
"Earth Power!"
"Pluto Planet Power!"
"Neptune Planet Power!"
"Uranus Planet Power!"
"Moon Cosmic Power! Unite!"
"What??? What's going on? How can she be so strong? Noooooooo!!!" Beryl screamed
as she faded to dust. Everything went dark as well, but I could hear a faint whispering.
"Please give all of us a second chance......."
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
I groaned as I rolled over and turned off my alarm. I was stiff and my back was killing
me. As I sat up I realized I was alive again. I had to look in the mirror and give myself a good
look over. There was no permeant damage just a few scratches. It had worked. Destroying Beryl
had brought us back. I went down the hall and found Serena sleeping peacefully in her bed. I
really wanted to let her sleep, but she had school too.
I sat down on the edge of her bed and kissed her gently. "Wake up princess." I said.
"Mmm.... Darien??" She said slightly confused as she opened her eyes. "Darien!!" Next
think I knew she was giving me a death grip hug and crying. "You're alright!"
"Yes, we're alive, and the others should be as well." I hugged her as well and kissed the
top of her head. "But we both have class in less than an hour. Get ready and I'll drive you to
class."
Later that day I found Serena at the arcade after class, with Ami, Rei, Lita and Mina. I
joined them and shortly after Linds showed up, energetic as ever.
"Hi guys!" she called. "Great work team!"
"Yeah!" the girls all said and clinked their milk shake glasses.
"Anyone seen Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna?" I asked.
"Um... no. I haven't." Linds said.
"Me either."
"Ditto."
"No clue."
"Not a sign."
"Nope."
"That's because we've been deciding what to do." Haruka said coming through the door,
with Michiru and Setsuna in tow.
"About what?" Ami asked.
"We should talk about it else where." Michiru said.
Fifteen minutes later we were all at the temple, in a secluded area.
"So what's up?" Mina asked getting impatient.
"This was all a test of Serena and Darien's love to see of the were ready to fulfill their
new roles." Haruka said.
"New roles?" I questioned.
"In the near future Endymion you and Serenity will rule this world and keep peace here."
Setsuna said. "How ever it is not time yet. Enjoy your lives as they are. I must return to my post
at the gates of time."
"And we must take care of some business in the United States." Michiru said.
"When we all return it will be time to start the announcements and the begging of Crystal
Tokyo, the future leading city of this world. Until then I wish you all well." Setsuna said and the
three outers took off after saying good bye.
"Take care!" Serena called as they walked out of sight. "Hey who's up for a victory party
at my place?" she said to all of us and smiled.
