Chapter 13

        “It's time.” Pluto said, her voice bouncing off the swirling walls. She watched as a dark shadow crossed over the spirit Queen's face.

        “Every thing is happening so fast Pluto. I don't know if I can bear to see Serenity faced with such opposition.” She whispered with a heartbroken tone. Pluto's passive face softened and she put a comforting arm around the petite woman.

        “Sere nity is stronger than she looks. And she has the protection of the others. Their bond is strong.” She said in a soothing voice. But the shadows of her worry still darkened the Queens light blue-purple eyes and she said nothing. Pluto tightened her free hand on her rod and looked at the image of Serenity and Endymion arguing. A faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips, but then it faded. She hated to admit it, but she was a scared as the Queen was. If anything ever happened to Serenity, she didn't know what she would do.

        “It' your fault you had such a bad night.” Serena snapped back and slammed her cup on the table. Chocolate milk splashed over the side. “So don't take it out on us.” She told the rude man standing over her with irritated dark blue eyes.

        “I was only taking it out on you meatball head.” He snapped back. Serena narrowed her eyes and snatched her milk off the table. If she spent another moment with him, she was sure her milk would be all over his face in no time.

        “You two still argue about everything.” Kunzite muttered and gathered his dishes off the table to put them in the sink.

        “Shut up.” They both said together and then clashed heated gazed.

*That's what you get for not giving me back my bathing suit.* Serena shot at him, knowing full well why he was in such a bad mood.

        Darien let out a little growl.*What makes you think its about that?*

        *If not, then what was it?* She asked. His mouth thinned and he didn't have an answer. Serena smirked. *That's what I thought*

        Ami was outside, sketching the landscape when a piercing scream could be heard. The sounded startled her and she bolted off the park bench.

        “Ami! Are you okay?” Zoicite was at her side in an instant, looking over her from heat to toe for injury.

        “It wasn't me.” She said in a breathless tone and reached for her bag on the ground. Zoicite watched in fascination as the little computer whizzed and beeped.

        “Wha t is that?” He asked. They never had that kind of technology before.

        Another scream caught the radar, and the computer pinpointed the source. It was coming from a little beach port, not to far away. She and the others had gone there on several occasions. She flipped the computer closed and grabbed Zoicite's hand, pulling him along with her.

        “We need to tell the others.” She said and ran back to the beach house.

        When she got back, she interrupted Raye and Jadeite's argument. “A yomen?” Raye asked.

        “I think so, we need to go.” She said hastily and pulled out her changing wand. All together they transformed.

        ̶ 0;Where do you think you're going?” Raye demanded, when Jadeite began running with her.

        “To help.” He said. The girls all stopped.

        “No you're not.” Mina protested.

        “ What? Why not?” Nephrite bellowed in outrage.

        “Th ey don't know you're here. You need to stay secret. If they know about you, then they'll know one of us is the princess and we'll be in more danger.” Lita told him calmly.

        “Why does Endymion get to go?” Kunzite countered, looking at his prince in his costume.

        “I have to get the other crystals from Zoicite. I was a part of this long before you came.” He said.

        “It's for the best you guys.” Ami suggested sending Zoicite a guarded look.

        “We're wasting time! Stay here!” Raye ordered and they all fled to the battle.

~ ~ ~ ~

        The guys watched opened mouthed as they all left them behind.

        “The nerve of them!” Nephrite bristled.

        “D id I ever listen to Raye?” Jadeite said in a speculating manner, looking at the retreating figures.

        “No t that I remember.” Zoicite piped in with a smile. They looked at one another and then ran after them.

        Zoicite had another yomen poised for attack on a helpless woman when they ran interference.

        R 20;It's been a while.” Zoicite hissed with a sour smile.

        “Just like old times huh?” Venus said brightly and aimed an attack at the monster.

        “An d Tuxedo Mask, I assume you're here to hand over the crystals?” She snickered, ignoring Venus's remark.

        “We have all the crystals. Why are you attacking these innocent people?” He demanded.

        “T o bring you out you idiot!” She said with a roll of her eyes. The monster roared and blasted another attack at them. “Besides, I was getting bored. You weren't trying to get a hold of me for the crystals.” She said in a pout.

        “Well here I am. What do you purpose we do?” He asked with folded arm.

        Serena shivered. That was right, Darien had the other crystals. She needed to help him get them all. Whatever power those crystals could do, they needed them for the battle that was soon to come.

~Soon we will be taken, and we can't do anything about it~ Why was that thought screaming in her mind?

        The scouts all threw an attack at the monster, but it countered with its own attack and threw them back.

~ ~ ~ ~

        They guys all arrived at the battle just as the monster countered with an attack. Nephrite watched as Lita was pushed back by the power and stood to help her, but Zoicite restrained him.

        “Not yet, we have to see what the situation is first.” Grudgingly, he crouched back down behind an overturned car.

        “I don't see the Prince anywhere.” Kunzite noted scanning the area and wincing as Mina took another hit. But he saw the determination in her face, mixed with anticipation.

        R 20;Wait here, I think I saw them off to the side.” Zoicite whispered and left them. He made his way around a corner of a building and into the shadows.

        “Zo icite, what are you doing?” Zoicite spun around at the voice. A tall figure dressed in white stepped close to him.

        “Kunzit e, what are you doing here? I thought I told you to stay put.” Why was he wearing different clothes? He looked past the man that looked like his friend and saw that the others, including Kunzite were peering over the corner.

        The Kunzite look-alike put a hand on Zoicite's face caressing his cheek. Zoicite was rooted to the spot, too shocked and confused to move.

        “Why are you dressed like that love?” He asked in a cold, almost loving voice. “Tricking the enemy?”

        Zoic ite nodded slowly, deciding to play along. He watched wide eyed at he leaned down and planted a kiss on his lips. “See you later.” He said and flashed away. When he was gone, Zoicite let out a cry of repulsion and ran around, desperately wiping his mouth, and the feel of those cold lips off his own.

        The sound must have alerted the scouts because in the midst of his screaming about the kiss, he heard Mars yelling at Jadeite for disobeying her.

        “Zoicit e are you okay?” Mercury asked him.

        “He kissed me! Kunzite kissed me!” He howled and began gagging.

        “Yo u did?” Venus asked a dumbfound Kunzite, looking oddly at him.

        “Hell no I didn't! The other one did! Ughh, how can you ask me something like that?” He roared with red cheeks. Venus couldn't tell if it was from embarrassment or anger, but all in all, she thought it was rather amusing.

        “Yo u must have met the evil Kunzite then. He must have mistaken you for the evil Zoicite. They're an item.” Jupiter said with a giggle.

        Kunzite and Zoicite looked at one another. “Uhhh!” They said and looked away. Kunzite cupped Venus's face and gave her a thorough kiss, leaving her dizzy and winded.

        “Wel l...” Zoicite began and did the same to Mercury.

        “Wh y did you do that?” Mars demanded seeing her friends reeling from the kisses.

        “To establish that I only like women!” Kunzite said.

        “Me too!” Zoicite countered. An awkward silence followed, with both men unable to look at one another.

        “Wh ere is Tuxedo Mask?” Serena asked, searching the battle ground for him.

        “We don't know. We were looking for him before...” Zoicite didn't finish the sentence.

        A blasting sound echoed off the chipped buildings. They found Darien and the evil Zoicite battling. A scream caught in Serena's throat when she saw a final blow poised at Darien's chest, but Darien rolled away last minute. The tension in her stomach made her feel nauseated and she had to forced back the bile in her throat before she spewed it all over Mars. Her heart beat was rapid, and when a flash invaded her seeing, she struggled to stay standing. This is not right, it not! She looked around, blinking to clear her vision. Something was happening, but she didn't know what.

        “Where are the crystals?” Mars yelled out and they stopped fighting a little. They both circled each other.

        “Kunz ite took them.” Tuxedo Mask yelled out. Serena and the others looked around and saw the man off to the side, gazing at the sparkling gems twirl in midair in front of them. The sight made her head hurt and she looked away jut in time to see a hidden black magic blade slice through the air right at Darien.

        She let out a scream and he turned just as it hit him. The blade slit his side and he dropped to the ground.

        “NO! ” She shrieked and ran to him, fighting off her scouts hands to hold her back.

        “Come back!” She heard Jupiter cry out, but the voice was distant. Instead, she ignored them and ran to the fallen Tuxedo Mask.

        “You should have waited for us!” She cried through her tears.

        “I had to free you Serenity, and this is the only way.” He whispered. Serena kissed his head.

        “Are you okay?” She asked with a thick tongue, trying hard not to sob. She felt him nod.

        “Just a cut, I'll be fine.” She looked up at a gloating Zoicite with ice cold malice in her eyes.

        “Such hate in you eyes Sailor Moon. It's easy to end both of your lives right here.” She threatened and opened her hand. A new blade of black ice was in her hand and she raised it. An overwhelming urge to protect Darien gripped her very soul. The sickness she was feeling intensified and she twisted her head to gag. What was going on? Heat began to build in her chest, so blinding hot, all she could was let out a little whimper. “Serenity, what are you doing to us?” She whispered, feeling weak. She tightened her hold on Darien.

        “Sai lor Moon, are you okay?” He asked in an alarmed voice.

        “Die! ” Zoicite shrieked. Soon, the sickness passed and she felt power building. A strong power.

        “Zoic ite look!” The evil Kunzite cut into her attack and Zoicite gave him an annoyed look for disturbing her fun. But soon, her green eyes widened at the sight. The dancing crystals began to grow bright and soon, they turned into little wisps of light. Each light flew around their heads, but it was Serena who beckoned them to her. Each one swirled together right in front of her eyes and created a vibrant white ball.

**It is time for us to shine!** Her past self whispered excitedly at her and soon she could hear Luna gasp.

        “The Imperium Silver Crystal!”

        In the darkest corner of her young soul, hidden behind the faintest star, Serena could feel her past self grow stronger. It was like her whole being was complete now. She closed her eyes and saw colors of the crystal swirl. It was heaven she thought fuzzily.

        It seemed to last forever, but in reality, only mere seconds had ticked by. Enough time for the evil Kunzite and Zoicite to grip what had just happened. They looked at one another totally forgetting the others.

        “I must complete my mission.” Zoicite hissed and charged after the couple still seated on the ground. But just as she was getting ready to deliver the final blow, Serena's eyes snapped opened and zeroed in on her. She raised the crystal and before she knew it, Zoicite was sailing back and hitting the back wall with a loud thump. Angered, even more, Zoicite started after her again, feeling the familiar feeling of blood lust pound in her head. But again, she was hit back, by a more powerful hit.

        “Stop it Zoicite!” Kunzite called out to her, but she ignored him.

        Serena lifted the crystal one more time, tapping into her last source of energy and hit her again. This time, she knew it would be the last time. Sleepiness invaded her mind, and she could faintly hear Kunzite's cry of outrage and pain as Zoicite fell to the ground.

~ ~ ~ ~

        Zoicite winced at the female version of himself hit the ground. Kunzite ran after her and lifted her head, cradling it lovingly in his arms. They whispered words to one another, but then Zoicite's hand fell to her side, and he knew she was dead.

        “No, Zoicite! Don't leave me!” The man cried over her body.

        Meanwhile, Kunzite looked at his Mina and let those words echo in his mind. He had said those words when he was trapped in the crystal Beryl put him in, making them suffer as she showed each one of the scouts fight in the end battle. He had wanted to look away when Mina fell to her knees when a yomen impaled her with a sword, but her power didn't let him. He had to watch at the light in her blue eyes faded away, and blood burbled in her mouth before she fell forward. The memory brought back painful tears he had to wrap his arms around her to assure himself he was still there. When the evil Zoicite faded into nothing, Kunzite stood up and looked at all of them with hatred burning in his eyes.

        “You will die for what you've done to her!” He howled and electric blue magic began forming in his hand.

        “Stop! ” A powerful voice boomed, making the ground shudder. The evil Kunzite looked up and saw a figure emerge from a purple portal. Immediately, he dropped to one knee as his master set foot on the ground.

        Darien gripped Serena tighter in his arms at watched as the evil Queen approached them.

        “Beryl !” Luna hissed. But the little cat was helpless to do anything for the Queen erected a shield over them. Even the scouts had to watch at the Queen smiled and locked eyes with Darien.

        “She has grown more powerful than I had expected. But you Princess has yet to learn how to control them.” She opened her hand and a spell was created, and Serena, in her weaken state was pulled away from Darien's embrace. He bolted up, ignoring the screaming pain.

        “I'm the one you want! Leave her alone!” Beryl looked pointedly at him and let out a cackle.

        “You Prince Endymion?” She asked in disgust. “It was never you I wanted. Why would I want someone with such weak power? The only reason I went after you is because, combined, you and Serenity created a power far more powerful that I had. But both of you were too blind to see it.” She paused and looked at the sleeping princess. “Now half of your power is gone.” She said with a quiet gloat.

        “What is she doing?” Venus cried when a second Serena was emerging from the one that was asleep.

        “She 's taking Serenity!” Nephrite told them, remembering Beryl did the same to them. When she had captured him, she halved his soul, taking a part of him away, the evil side. That's how she created their copies. But when his evil self was defeated, and he was whole again, he was able to break out of his crystal tomb just as Jadeite did before him. At that time, they didn't know what had happened, but when Pluto found them, and freed them, she had told them what had happened. He looked quickly at Zoicite. He just got his other half back he wondered how he was doing. Getting part of yourself back was an overwhelming feeling because you had to get use to it again. Part of you was gone for a long time and over that time, you got use to it. Kunzite was the only one left. And now, she was doing it to Serenity, the only thing was, he was taking all of Serenity. She was separating Serena and her past self! This was bad, really bad.

~ ~ ~ ~

        Serena forced her eyes open. The sight in front of her was blurred, but she saw a see-through person, who looked just like her floating right before her. She looked like she was asleep and she tried to touch her, but her fingers pass right through. It was the last thing she saw before she fell back asleep as well, never hearing her past's self plea and her friends turning back into their civilian selves before, they too, fainted in the arms of the guards.

~ ~ ~ ~

        “My baby!” The spirit Queen cried and put a distressed hand up to her mouth to cover her whimper.

        “Yo u know this had to come.” Pluto told her with a soothing stroke of her hair.

        “I know, but I can't help but feel...” She broke away and sniffed back her tears.

        “I know. But they'll get through this.”

        Queen Serenity forced herself to look at the screen and saw the scouts falling. “But this wasn't supposed to happen.” She whispered and turned to Pluto with wild eyes and pointed to the image. “This wasn't supposed to happen!” She cried.
