The battle was going on an hour now and each of the scouts were struggling
to fight. All the scouts had numerous cuts on their arms and legs while
Mercury was clutching her side. Sailor Mars was limping as she tried to
move away from the monster and throw another attack at it. Sailor Mars was
holding her arm carefully to not contort it too much. Sailor Moon was
trying to keep the distance between herself and the monster while holding
her side, limping, and carefully trying to avoid using her arm.
The monster was extremely tough, it seemed that none of the attacks could defeat it, even Sailor Moon's tiara. It was getting near dawn because the sawn was peeking out of the horizon and each girl was dreading having to go to school with no sleep. The monster charged at Sailor Mercury while she was analyzing it. Mars tried to warn her but the monster rammed into the tiny blue-haired girl with a force that sent her flying into the brick building. Her body slumped down the building and at the bottom lay motionless.
"Mercury!" Sailor Moon cried at her unmoving friend. She grabbed the tiara off her forehead and whipped it at the monster. The monster dodged the attack and the tiara came flying back towards Sailor Moon. She knew with her weak frame that she wouldn't be able to catch the spinning disk with accuracy.
"Sailor Moon watch out!" She was scooped up in a whirl of black as she heard a painful yelp from her savior. Her tiara had sliced through his jacket and shirt to cut his upper left arm. He shifted her weight as they flew through the air.
"Tuxedo Mask? You saved me again! Are you alright?" she asked as they landed on a nearby rooftop. His face was unreadable, and his eyes were cold under the mask he wore. He
nodded then gestured to monster which had just thrown Mercury into Mars body.
Mars got to her feet and became the only one left standing. The monster raced at her as she threw her attack, the attack backfired and hit her own body. The monster laughed out loud and turned its back to the four sailors. Sailor Moon gasped and Tuxedo Mask frowned, this wasn't going to be easy he thought.
He offered her his good arm and together they jumped to the street. Sailor Moon ran and grabbed her tiara from where it had fallen. Tuxedo Mask had run towards the monster and had sent a rose into its back.
The monster turned on the masked crusader and charged him. Tuxedo Mask dodged the monster, but the monster was quick. It dealt him a blow to his chest with his fist and then with one of his long claws he sliced his back. Tuxedo Mask fell to the ground and tried to move to protect Sailor Moon.
Seconds later a gold disk flew through the air and cut the monster in two. It howled in pain as it disintegrated. The tiara came flying back and Sailor Moon caught it easily. She then ran to Tuxedo Masks side. He was lying on the ground and blood was evident on the pavement. His hat had fallen off revealing, stunningly familiar black hair. "Are you alright?" Fear was evident in her voice. He nodded then moved slowly, grabbing his hat and walking away.
Sailor Moon ran to each of her friends that were slowly regaining consciousness. They each said their good-byes and headed their own separate ways to sneak in before their parents came in to wake them up.
Serena entered her house through the window to her room not a second too soon.
"Serena it's time to get up!" her mother yelled from outside the door.
"Phew, I'm up mom!" Serena answered while detransforming into her pajama's.
"Are you sure?" Her mother opened the door to see Serena standing by her window clutching her broach behind her back. "Oh my goodness you really are up! Well breakfast is in a few minutes okay?" Serena nodded and let out a sigh of relief as her mother left the room. Luna jumped onto the bed.
"How was the fight? You were gone an awfully long time."
"Long and hard! Luna the monster's keep getting harder to beat. No one escaped with out a few good bruises and scrapes. I have to get ready for school though okay?" Luna nodded and laid down to rest on the bed.
Serena pulled her hair back into the traditional buns and pigtails and got dressed.
She left the room and grabbed a quick breakfast before leaving for school at a normal pace.
She scanned the crowds of people as she walked by. She wasn't in any hurry to run because she had left at a reasonable time. Then she stopped in her tracks.
Her archenemy was walking towards her. She gasped and kept walking slowly, praying he wouldn't say anything or even notice her. She was too tired and sore to have a battle with him. She noticed he was reading a paper and had glasses on. A briefcase was in his hands as he walked slowly down the street. She was pleased she had passed him without him noticing her
when she tripped. She grabbed onto anything she could find to top falling, and her arch enemy happened to be what she grabbed.
She clutched onto his left arm as she fell towards the pavement. She closed her eyes when she heard a yelp in pain. She braced for the impact when it never came. She opened her eyes to see his other arm supporting her frame. She briefly glanced up at his face, it was stressed in pain and he looked extremely tired.
"Thanks for catching me and sorry for grabbing onto you like that..."
"Yeah well watch where you're going meatball head! That really hurt!"
"What me grabbing your arm, or are you too weak to hold or catch someone without pulling a muscle?" she taunted.
"I don't have time for this! And no I'm no weak! I am extremely strong when I need to be but urgh!" He turned and walked away mumbling about blondes, obscenities, and klutzes. She viewed him with wonderment. Something she had said seemed to really piss him off, and it looked as if he wasn't kidding about the arm thing either. Oh well, she thought as she continued on her walk to school.
School went well, she had done her homework, arrived on time and besides from feeling extremely tired, paid attention, well some of the time. She left the school and headed to the arcade for a few minutes to view her crush, Andrew.
She walked into the arcade and saw Darien talking to Andrew quietly. She frowned, how could someone as nice as Andrew be friends with the jerk Darien?
"Hey Serena!" Andrew waved her over. She smiled and sat on one of the stools at the counter.
"Hey Andrew! What's with him?" she pointed towards Darien who was resting his head on the counter. She noticed his jacket off and one of his sleeves was rolled up. A deep gash was on his arm, the same arm she had grasped earlier. "Oh! What happened to him?" she asked feeling extremely guilty.
"He doesn't know. He woke up this morning with some strange bruises and cuts over his body and a really bad headache. I honestly wonder if he got drunk and got in a bar fight. But he doesn't drink."
"Oh." Serena wondered what he had done to get all the marks over his body. She was about to ask more questions when she heard a beeping noise. She gasped and turned towards Andrew.
"Andrew, can I use the phone in the back I completely forgot a major important thing and I have to call someone. Is that okay? She asked him urgently.
"Sure, do you need help or anything?" she shook her head and ran towards the back room. She threw open the door and closed it once she was inside. She dug threw her bag and already had her broach in hand.
"Where is it?" she asked in a commanding voice.
"The park! Hurry we need your help!" Mercury answered before closing the link.
Serena threw her communicator into her bag and hollered out her transforming words. "Moon Prism Power!" She raised her broach in hand as power surrounded her. Moments later the sailor suited Sailor Moon stood in her place. She was worried, what if this monster was really strong, and what if she was too late? What if she couldn't beat it? Her fear was extreme as she began to open the back door to leave.
(In the main room of the arcade-moments before)
"I wonder what that was all about." Andrew said to Darien who was sitting limply on the stool. Darien shrugged his shoulders when he suddenly felt the world around him vanish. Pain and fear surrounded his heart.
Shaking he stood and faced Andrew, "I'll be right back." He walked over to the back hall as his head began to ache. He opened the door as the pain and fear grew in his head. What was happening to him? He walked into the room not noticing the other's presence. He fell to the ground, unconscious.
Sailor Moon looked on in wonder as Darien staggered into the room clutching his head and chest. Then she saw him fall to the ground. She walked over to him, scared of what may happen. What she saw amazed her. His body had been surrounded in a blinding gold light. He seemed unaware what was happening to him for his eyes were closed and he made no sound. The light faded and she gasped. Darien was no longer lying on the ground.
Tuxedo Mask was.
