The Nightmare Begins

It's been six years since the situation with Malaya happened. Together, as a small family, Darien, Serena and five year old Rini lived peacefully. The scouts lived their own separate ways, still in Tokyo, in case of any sudden attacks they were not aware of.

Far away, back in France, Malaya cursed as she planned her revenge on Serena. She knew Serena had a strange and mystical power and she can't win without something stronger.

"How am I going to win against Serena? She's so powerful, there is no way to beat her!" Black mist surrounded her.

"I can help with that…"

"Rini! You're going to be late for school if you don't hurry!" Serena yelled. Her young pink haired daughter ran from the dining table to the front door to put her shoes on.

"Serena, I have to go now or Rini won't be the only one late," Darien joked. Serena gave him a quick kiss.

"Have a nice day!" Serena called out.

"Bye Daddy!"

"Bye!" Darien left and it was only Serena and Rini who were in a rush.

After dropping Rini at school, she collected the daily newspaper which she reads everyday. She grabbed a cup of coffee and began reading the newspaper. It wasn't long before she dropped her cup and tears started to fall.

The headlines read "Prisoner Malaya Escapes".

After Darien drove back home, he saw Rini walking by herself. He stopped the car next to Rini.

"Daddy!" Rini cried.

"Hey, where's your mum?"

"Mum didn't come."

"She what?" Darien was shocked at Rini's answer. Serena would never forget to pick Rini up. What could have happened?

"Serena, are you there?" Darien asked as he knocked lightly on the door

"I have a gun and I'm not afraid to use it!" Darien was very confused.

"Serena honey, it's me, Darien." He heard a loud thump on the ground. Lucky enough, he had the keys to the door and opened it. He found Serena on the floor, crying.

"What's wrong Serena?"

"It's Malaya, she escaped…prison!" Darien was shocked.

"Mummy, Daddy, who is Malaya?" Rini asked innocently.

"Rini, Malaya is a bad person," Darien explained. "Can you start doing your homework please?" Rini gladly went to her room to start her homework. Once she was gone, Darien calmed Serena down and asked her questions.

"Serena, nothing is going to happen."

"Nothing is going to happen? Last time, I couldn't even transform! Do you think I can do anything without transforming into Sailor Moon?" Serena shouted. Tears flooded her eyes.

"You have me and the scouts to protect you. Don't worry. We would never let our future queen die."

Rini heard everything. Sailor Moon, future queen, what were they talking about? Wait, her friends told her something about Sailor Moon. She was a pretty sailor soldier who fought off evil with her scouts, Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus. Could this be true? Could her ordinary mum be a famous heroine from many years ago? Before finishing off her homework, she heard one last thing from her parents.

"You are the Moon Princess and you have the Silver Crystal. You have defeated many enemies, you saved Galaxia from Chaos. Most of all, you have me, your mother and the scouts to help you."

Moon Princess? What the hell?

Rini spent most of her time thinking of what her parents said. She was so confused. There can't be anything such as a Moon Princess, right? Her mind wasn't working properly. She was distracted in class and she totally forgot that her friends were even there! She would stare into the sky and wonder what was actually happening.

BANG!

"Ow!" Rini rubbed her head after bumping into a pole. "Why am I so clumsy?"

Darien got the day off to stay with Serena and help her get comfortable again. Rei, Ami, Mina and Lita came over to visit in the afternoon, hoping to cheer her up a bit.

"So Malaya escaped and most likely, she's going to try and attack as soon as possible," Rei said. Serena nodded in reply. It was scary. She didn't have a meeting for a very long time. It has been so long. Serena trembled in fear every time she thought of Malaya and what she would do.

"Hey, where's Rini?" Lita asked.

"Isn't she outside playing with Cindy and Angel?" Mina wondered. Serena instantly jumped up.

"Mummy!" Everyone heard Rini scream.

"Rini! I'm coming for you!" Serena screamed in reply. Cindy and Angel ran to Mina (their mother) and started crying. Serena stopped.

"Well, we meet again, Princess Serenity," Beryl hissed evilly. She held Rini in her arms. She pointed her long sharp nails at her neck.

"Please don't hurt her," Serena begged.

"Oh, you mean Princess Small Lady Serenity, daughter of Princess Serenity who I hate!"

"H-how did you know her name?" Serena asked. Beryl activated a ball-like prison, holding Sailor Pluto inside.

"She was so weak and helpless now she hardly had any power left. I took that power to look in the future!" With her last words, Beryl disappeared in a cloud of smoke with Rini.

"Rini!"

Sorry I went a bit too fast on this chapter. It's been quite a while since I have written anything so I lost some experience. And sorry about the late update too. I have so much work to do; updates will be less frequent from now on. I'll try my best though. Enjoy!
