"Hey Serena!" Molly waved pleasantly. Serena just slumped on over to her. Molly was happy. She didn't even notice the way Serena looked or acted. "C'mon. I want to get into Courtyard before all the good stuff is gone." Molly dragged Serena around. They walked into the mall. Molly talked the whole time, but Serena was trapped in her own thoughts. 'What did Luna mean by "The end of THIS"? And what was she talking about the Sailors Splitting up AGAIN? By now they were all together somewhere deep in the Negaverse.' Then Serena reflected on the whole weekend, and suddenly, she wanted to go home. 'I don't care what Luna's last request is, I've been through enough pain and Suffering to last me a lifetime, and I'm not abandoning my family! I'm going home!' She turned to speak to her friend. "Molly..." But Molly was not in sight. Serena then looked around her. The mall was empty. She was the only one there. Suddenly a hand touched her shoulder. Serena screamed and turned around. a look of fright appeared in her eyes. "Darien..." Darien looked around. "Where is everyone?" "Where you are about to be...A cemetery!" Darien and Serena gasped. Zoisite stood above them. Darien held Serena close to him, but remembering what had happened the night before, Serena wriggled out of his grasp. What was going on?

Serena was in her bedroom twisting and turning. the bed covers were wrapped around her in a mess. Darien was standing there. He didn't know what to do. Faintly, Serena began yelling. "No...MOON CRYSTAL POWER!" Still asleep, Serena began to transform. Darien just stood there surprised, watching and listening to everything. Suddenly, Sailor Moon screamed and sat up in bed with a jolt. She looked around at the one familiar face she knew and loved. Then she looked at her clothes. "What happened?" She saw Darien's face, and turned away. What was he doing there? And how did he get in without her father knowing? "You were in the mall with Molly. I saw you and was watching you, but then I saw your face was white and you fainted. I ran over and took you home. What confuses me, is what just happened while you were sleeping. Serena turned around. She had tears in her eyes. "Where's Luna? Where's Artemis?" Darien looked away. "Sorry Sailor Moon. That was not a dream." He spoke slowly. Serena couldn't believe what she was hearing. Everything had gone too far. She looked around. "How did you get to my home? Where's my family?" Darien had been hoping that she wouldn't bring up that subject, but it was getting late, and he could feel Zoisite growing stronger already. "Their gone." He said, a twang of pain shot across his face and disappeared quickly. Serena was put in shock. She could only choke out a few words. "What happened?" Her worried look scared Darien, he turned away again. When he looked back at the girl, she was again Serena. He whispered softly, hoping it would reduce her shock. "Zoisite got here before me." Serena jumped out of bed. Her tears had stopped, but her angry rage hadn't. "I'm going to make Zoisite wish he was NEVER brought to the future!" She began to run out of the room. Darien chased her. "Where are you going?!" He yelled. Serena kept running. "I'm going to the portal. Zoisite's about to get a time lapse!" Darien finally caught up with her outside of the neighborhood. He grabbed her arm. "Serena, you can't do this. It's a trick. Zoisite just wants you to battle him so he can get his revenge." Serena pulled her arm away. She was angry now. Zoisite had gone too far, and there was nothing to stop him, except for Serena. "I don't care! He took my friends and I'm NOT letting him get away with it." "I won't let you go!" Darien argued. "It's not your choice Darien!" "It's a trap! Serena, the scouts could even be dead now! You have to just try to live this down." He wasn't letting her get away from him again. "I can't! My friends are in trouble. They would never let me down. I need to rescue them, as much as you needed to rescue me all those times that I was trouble." Her voice was soft again, and tears began to roll down both of their cheeks. Darien was now shocked. He grabbed her wrist. "Then I'm going with you." "No!" Serena gasped in surprise. He would get hurt. Serena fought with all her might to loosen Darien's grip. She finally freed her arm and began to run. She thought of what Darien had just said, and she knew he was following her. The thought made her run harder than ever. "Moon Crystal Power!" Darien watched as she transformed. Sailor Moon jumped to the nearest roof and began to leap from house to house. Darien knew he had to change into Tuxedo Mask in order to keep up with her. As he did, a strange sensation came over him. The last thing he heard was Serena's voice. "Good Bye." Then all was black
