SAILOR MOON AND THE ATTACK OF THE NEGAVERSE (PART THREE)
A few days later, Darien and Serena were released from the hospital. Everyone was glad they were all right, but Serena had to be stuck in a wheel chair for a while. With her fractured arm, she couldn't use crutches.
Amy and Darien continued seeing each other in secret for the next couple of months, and Serena didn't have a clue. Serena and Darien hardly talked to each other anymore. Eventually, autumn fell into winter, and winter fell into spring.
When Serena finally got out of her casts in the early spring, Darien decided to take her on a special date. They hadn't been on one for a while.
Serena dressed up in a purple sleeveless dress with a short skirt. She put on perfume and a touch of glittery pink lip gloss. Then she began walking to the restaurant where Darien would be waiting for her. Serena took out her umbrella and put it above her head to avoid being soaked by the spring shower. Slush and mud from the melting snow littered the streets of Tokyo.
When Serena arrived at the restaurant, she couldn't find Darien anywhere. Serena walked over to a local payphone to dial Darien's number, but before she put in the quarters, she looked over to a horrifying sight. Darien and Amy were kissing passionately right outside a shop.
Serena stared and rubbed her eyes a few times. Then tears filled her eyes. She tore away from the phone booth and ran into an alley about half a block away.
There Serena wept. She cried more tears than she had ever cried before. She had thought Darien might be seeing another girl...but Amy? The one who Serena trusted the most? Her best friend!?
Serena sat there and cried in the rain. She threw her umbrella aside in misery. How could they do this to her? The two people who were most important to her were betraying her! Tears poured down Serena's cheeks like the rain poured from the clouds above.
Serena leaned against a building sadly. She didn't care that she was being soaked by the rain. She just wished that Darien could be hers and only hers.
As Serena cried, she didn't notice a dark presence lurking in the shadows.
Slowly, Iolite, a woman from the Negaverse, began to advance on Serena.
'Foolish Sailor Moon!' Iolite thought, smirking. 'I will drain her every ounce of energy and she will die!'
Meanwhile, Amy and Darien let go of each other. "You should go," warned Darien. "You don't want to be caught by Serena."
"Bye, Darien!" said Amy cheerfully. She began to walk back home.
Meanwhile, in the dark, rainy alley, Serena felt a hand lightly touch her shoulder. Serena turned and let out a little cry as she saw Iolite.
"You are mine, foolish soldier." Iolite whispered darkly.
Meanwhile. "Wait, Amy! Serena isn't here yet. Let me walk you home. It's only two blocks away," suggested Darien.
"Sure," replied Amy lovingly. Meanwhile. Serena tried to speak, but Iolite began draining all of her energy. Flashes of white energy were flowing into Iolite and flowing out of Serena.
Serena slowly turned to see Darien and Amy rounding the corner...Serena's breath began slowing down as she tried to call to them.
"D-Darien...Amy." Serena called softly. Amy and Darien kept on walking. "No...don't...go..." Serena said in nearly a whisper.
"They can't hear you..." chuckled Iolite softly. "You are doomed, Sailor Soldier."
Serena struggled to push Iolite away, but Iolite stayed right where she was. Serena was too weak now. Serena aimed a kick at Iolite, but missed. Serena had left her transformation brooch at home, so she could not transform into Sailor Moon.
Serena fell to her knees. She was no longer strong enough to stand.
When Serena fell to her knees, a loud thud was heard. Amy and Darien turned to see the last of Serena's energy being drained by Iolite.
"SERENA!" Amy and Darien shouted in unison.
"No..." Serena glared at Amy and Darien. "I...don't want...your...help..." Serena collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
Before Amy and Darien got a chance to transform, Iolite disappeared into the Negaverse.
Darien and Amy ran over to Serena. Her eyes were a dark, lifeless blue. Her limp body was soaked with rain and her cheeks were stained with tears. Darien put his ear to Serena's chest. Her heart was beating very slowly, and her breaths were short and few.
"She's dying," said Darien. His voice shook with fear.
"That's right," said an angry voice from behind them.
