Serena was still in her room panicking. Everything was thrown about in her room, clothes hung off the lights, the mattress over turned and a very distressed moon princess sitting in the center of her room crying.
"they are all going to kill me!! Rini I am so very sorry. I am such a clutz!!" Serena scolded herself. Soon her communicator went off, she picked it up and looked at it. Mars. "Great!! This is just what I need." She flipped the communicator open.
"SERENA!! Why aren't you at the temple!! We all felt a strange power surge last night!! We are all meeting about it, remember we ALL called you this morning about it!" Raye yelled at her. Serena didn't bother to wipe her tears away, they still kept coming.
"I'm sorry Raye, I misplaced something very important and I can't find it." Serena explained.
"That's a new excuse meatball brain. What did you lose, your head?!"
"No, something more important than that." Serena said as she tried to avoid telling them it's the crystal.
"Well as long as you didn't lose your locket or the crystal, I think you should get your butt down here, NOW!!"
"Well,…. Raye… that's the thing…"
"SERENA!! YOU DID NOT LOSE THAT CRYSTAL DID YOU?" Raye was met with silence. "YOU ARE SUCHA MEATBALL BRAIN! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE A SAILOR SCOUT!! AND DEFINITELY NOT THE MOON PRINCESS!! Don't bother coming to the temple. You can't transform without the crystal you are no longer a sailor soldier, and I will take a vote right now of the inner soldiers if we want to be your guardians anymore. I do not." Amy was then on the screen.
"How could you lose the crystal Serena? I'm sorry but you lost your power, I will not protect you." The screen was then handed over to Lita who just shook her head and passed it to Mina.
"Sorry Serena, but I may not be responsible, but even I wouldn't misplace that. It's time for me to take over as leader now." The screen then went blank.
Serena just stared at the black screen on her communicator in shock. "How could they… They never called to tell me about the meeting… Power Surge last night? They were my friends… No longer a scout… Venus is the new leader… Do the outers agree with this?... I lost Rini!!" Serena started to cry loudly and deeply, a cry that let loose all the pain, the anger and the betrayal.
Meanwhile at the home of the outer sailor soldiers….
Rini, Hotaru and Michelle were discussing what they had found out when Michelle's mirror appeared before her.
"Mama, what's going on?" Hotaru asked. Michelle grabbed on to the mirror and looked at it. It revealed a very very upset Serena.
"Rini, its time for us to go see your mom of this time. All of us are going." Michelle said.
Few minutes later…
Michelle, Hotaru and Rini knocked on the door of the Tsukino residence. Serena's brother Sammy opened the door wearing earmuffs.
"Rini! You're home!! Maybe you can shut Serena up!!" Sammy yelled about the noise of the wailing sister. The three looked at each other and ran up the stairs to Serena's room.
"Serena?" Rini said. Suddenly she stopped wailing and looked and saw an older Rini, about her own age staring at her.
"Rini? Michelle? Hotaru?"
"Oh Serena, whats wrong?" Michelle asked as the three entered the room and closed the door.
"I lost the crystal. The inner scouts no longer want me. They all voted they will never protect me again." She explained as the tears started to well up again.
"But Serena, the crystal isn't lost." Rini told her.
"That's right, Rini now controls it. She is sailor moon now. You made a wish last night on the crystal, a very powerful wish." Hotaru explained.
"I'll finish explaining." All four girls turned around to see Luna, "Serena, you made a wish to forget. The strength of the wish broke the crystal, your mother and your father came to repair the crystal, because you were,…." Luna couldn't finish.
"Dead?" Serena asked. The cat just nodded.
"Luna, I feel an evil coming, if Serena can't transform, and the inner scouts have given up on protecting her, they are her guard, and they decline to be that, now what is to happen?" Michelle asked. Luna seemed to ponder this for quite sometime. Then Serena broke the silence.
"Michelle, Hotaru, I know I need to ask Amara and Trista, but would you be my guard?" she asked quietly.
"Serena, you know it is our duty to protect you, you do not need to ask." Michelle said.
"Yeah Sere. We will even find a way for you to become a sailor soldier again and train you to become better." Hotaru chipped in.
"Hey! What about me?" Rini said.
"You are Sailor Moon now, the inner soldiers are your guard now. They said they wouldn't guard me anymore, they didn't say Sailor Moon." Serena said.
"That's right Rini, you and I should get over to the temple right away, they are having a meeting. Lets go." Luna said, Rini started to pout, but got up and left with the cat. Serena and the two outers were about to start making arrangements when the phone rang. Serena picked it up.
"Hello?" Serena asked.
"Serena, its Darien."
"Hi Muffin! How are you?" she asked chipper.
"Raye called me to the meeting. I arrived after they made their decision. They filled me in."
Serena was silent as her smile started to fade. Michelle and Hotaru watched closely, knowing what was probably going to happen.
"How could you be so immature and irresponsible enough to lose the Silver Crystal? Now Rini will never be born."
"Darien, I can explain…"
"Serena, I don't want to hear it. We are done. Permanently. I was only staying with you because of Rini. I don't want a perfectly planned future, I want to be a doctor and not a king. You cut Rini out of the picture by losing the crystal. So therefore I have no reason to stay with you. Good bye." He hung up. Serena stood there shocked for quite some time, the only noise was the sound of the dial tone. Michelle and Hotaru started to walk towards her to comfort her when the phone fell from her hands and broke upon impact with the floor.
