Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Pegasus Soars The Skies ❯ Lita and Raye Too! Serena's Sacrifice ( Chapter 10 )

[ A - All Readers ]

"How?" He asked again. Uranus trudged in, holding her injured arm. She
put her sword up.
"Well, when it's your destiny to rule the world, you learn
quickly...but in Moon Face's case..." Uranus began, before getting hit
in the head by Serena. Uranus coughed into her hand.
"You are this far from getting your butt kicked again." She
threatened. Uranus nodded and walked out. Goku looked at the Champion
of Justice.
"So, what's this about with that crystal and being hurled to Earth?"
He asked. Serena looked up at him.
"Well...after the Negaverse was banished my mother used all her
remaining power to send me and my court here to Earth. Then she hurled
the Silver Crystal to the Earth. It had the seven finest Nega Warriors
trapped in it. It shattered into seven Rainbow crystals, each with a
Shadow Warrior in it. They were reborn as humans with special
powers..." She explained. Shin nodded, still in shock over her ability
to use it.
"Um, yes. Yes, that's it exactly." He said. Serena smiled.
"Took us a bit to find it! We were stunned that I was the legendary
Moon Princess!" She said. Gohan spoke up.
"We were more stunned to learn she WASN'T a Saiyan! She acts just like
one! Appetite, balance without a tail, fighting skill, the whole nine
yards!" He said. Serena nodded then got mad at him.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!" She shrieked. Gohan stepped back, and hid
behind his father. Serena wasn't as strong as he was, but was a lot
meaner than his mother and Bulma combined.
"Nothing! Please don't hurt me Serena!" Serena would have beat him up,
but didn't. She felt a power. A power very familiar. One she knew in a
past life. She became afraid.
"No..." She whispered and looked outside. She saw a figure in a green
outfit on the wall behind the stadium. It vanished but she had gotten
a good look.
"Lita..." She whispered. Gohan blinked.
"Sailor Jupiter? Did you see her?" He asked. Serena ran outside to
look around. She looked to the Three Outers, who confirmed her fear.
Serena's eyes filled with tears...

With the Inners...

"She's with them all right. I'll bring her back." Jupiter said. Darien
nodded.
"Do so." He ordered. Jupiter nodded and ran off...

With the Others...

Serena whimpered and stumbled back. Goten and Trunks looked worried.

"Hey, what's wrong with Serena?" Goten asked.

"Dunno." Trunks answered.

"I'm worried about her." Goten said and ran over to her. Trunks
followed. Serena had broken down in tears. She didn't know if she
could handle this anymore. Her friends had turned against her, she
couldn't go home...

"Serena, are you okay?" Goten asked. She was now crying. Trunks shook
her a bit, but she didn't respond. Serena then stopped crying, and
looked angry.

"He took my friends away from me. He forced me into hiding. I'll never
forgive him!" She shrieked and flew off. Uranus watched.

"Hey! Meatball Head!" She called to the anger stricken warrior. Serena
stopped and floated there, looking to Amara, her guardian. And one of
the only Scouts left who believed in her power.

"I wanna let you know...you're insane!" She called to her leader.
Serena smiled, tears running down her face again. The Z fighters and
even Shin, were wondering what she meant.

"I'll miss you too..." Serena whispered. Amara nodded.

"Kick their butts..."

"In the name of the moon..." Serena flew off again. Saturn looked in
the air.

"Death fills the battle ground..."Hotaru whispered. Michelle and
Trista looked worried.

"This is her decision. We can't control her fate." Amara told the Z
fighters. Goten's eyes went wide. And slowly, so did Trunks's. They
knew what was going to happen. They flew after her.

With the Inners...

"She's here." Jupiter said.

"If she won't return to us, then we'll get rid of her. I never thought
she was fit to be the Moon
Princess." Mars said. They looked to the air as she landed on the
ground.

Holding her Moon Heart rod tightly, Serena glared at her former
`friends'. Mars laughed at her.

"So, you've left us and joined a new team. Who could be better than
the Sailor Scouts? Honestly Serena! Now come on, and get back in our
team!" Mars ordered. Serena clenched her teeth. She grabbed the Sailor
Communicator and threw it at her feet, and crushed it with her foot.

"What was that for Meatball Head!" Raye shouted. Serena growled and
dropped the wand, and removed her gloves.

"For not treating me like a real person Raye!" Serena shouted at the
Warrior of Fire.

"I am SICK and TIRED of being put down by you little miss hot head! To
you I'm not a warrior, I'm not even a person! I'm a THING! Just
because I'm a princess, doesn't mean I'm not real! I won't STAND for
it! You won't let me fight, and you laugh at my mistakes! I'll destroy
you before taking another insult!" She shouted. Mars and Jupiter
stepped back. Serena didn't stop.

"Tell me, Miss Hino. How would you like it if I laughed at YOUR
misfortune? If I insulted YOU for not being as PERFECT as you should
be? If I insulted you, for being different. For being Psychic. You
wouldn't like it at all. How about you Miss Kino? For not being
elegant. For fighting all the time. You insult my intelligence, my
pride, my dignity, and my being! I'll kill you for it!" She shrieked
and became Serena again. Jupiter dropped into a fighting stance, along
side Mars. Serena ran at them and kicked toward Jupiter, who knocked
her away. Serena landed on both feet, and ran towards both warriors.
Jupiter punched her into the ground. Serena got back up, bleeding.

"You got good Serena. Come one and join us..." Jupiter gently said.

"NO!" Serena tried to run at her again, but something had caught her
arm. She looked down. It was Goten and Trunks. Both boys held her arm.

"Don't go Serena!" Goten said. Trunks pulled her back.

"We don't want you to die! You're our best friend!" He said. Serena
would have said something, but Jupiter attacked.

"Jupiter Thunder Crash!" She called, knocking the three away from one
another. Jupiter then lifted Goten up. Serena got mad.

"Leave him alone! He's like a brother to me!" (Note- Foreshadows
something in the future) She cried.

"What's so special about him?" Jupiter wondered.

"He has Pegasus!" She told them. The two girls laughed.

"Good one Serena!" Jupiter said.

"You know only Rini could have Pegasus! Let's get rid of him." Mars
decided. Serena's eyes widened in horror.

"No...don't do this!" She shrieked at the them. Mars held her hands
out, as Jupiter held Goten in place.

"It's the only way Serena...Mars Flame...!" Mars shouted. Serena ran
towards Jupiter and Goten as the attack was prepared. She shoved them
away.

"Sniper!" Mars called out firing an arrow of fire at Serena by
mistake. Serena was hit. Mars and Jupiter fled. Trunks felt for a
pulse. But he couldn't find one.

"Goten...she's...she's dead."
