So maybe I should start with an "I am sorry" speech but I know it won't change anything... so sorry... anyways here is the next chapter of the story. I just didn't know how to fix this chapter and change it up a bit. Especially since this one won't be like the original Darkness Falls and I have to insert and tie all of my new ideas together. However, with school starting up again it will be hard to update but I will I promise... besides I promised I would finish all of my fic's even if it killed me to finish them.
All of you have been so nice in reviewing and I hope to see more reviews in the future the more I see the more motivation I get to write the next chapter and post it.
Don't own Sailor Moon
-AGES-
Serena is 17 turning 18 soon.
The inners scouts are already 18
The outer scouts are 19
Darien and Diamond are 25
~Missing~
Luna was worried about Serena, it had been almost 3 days since she last seen or heard from her. Maybe she had gone somewhere with the girls? Or maybe she just forgot to call her parents? That just had to be it, knowing ditzy old Serena she could have just forgotten and taken Rini with her…
"Hey Luna, down here" Luna looked out the window and saw Artemis on the ground his white coat standing out.
"Yeah?"
"I just came by to tell you that the girls have called a Scouts meeting at the temple."
"A Scout's meeting?" Luna jumped towards the tree and then to the ground "I haven't heard of any meeting."
"I didn't either, Mina told me like an hour ago."
"Do you know if Serena is already there?"
"I don't think so, isn't she here, with you?"
"No she is not, why do you think I'm asking you, for fun?"
"Don't worry Luna she's probably at the arcade or she's already with the scouts."
"That's the thing Artemis, I haven't heard from her for days now; her and Rini actually. I just hope they're okay." she told him as they began to head towards the temple.
"Jeez it's about time you both got here. We've been waiting for you two to get here." Raye told the cats the moment she saw them.
"What's going on?" Luna asked them as she searched the room in hopes of seeing Serena and Rini.
"Yeah, what's with this meeting all of a sudden and where is Rini and Serena?" Artemis asked them as he too noticed the two girls missing.
"Why should we care, where they are? They're probably stuffing their faces up with ice cream or pizza." Raye once again spoke up.
"That's no way to speak to your leader."
"You mean former leader Luna. Serena is no longer part of the Sailor Scout's we as a team decided that she is unfit to be the leader of the Sailor Scout's. Of course we as the Sailor Scouts will still protect the Silver Imperial Crystal. Actually, we were just speaking about that and decided that one of us should keep it in order to protect the crystal. We can't imagine the harm it could cause on the hands of the wrong people. Plus, we don't think Serena is qualified to protect it anymore; after all we did the protecting while she just cried like a cry baby" Mina said as the other girls laughed at the last comment.
"Who gave you the right to kick out Serena from the team? And what is this nonsense about taking the crystal from her? That crystal is her birthright and the position of leader is her right as the Princess of the Moon."
"Luna, be realistic do you think that Serena is actually fit to lead the Sailor Scouts? She can't even pass school. Does that make her fit to be Princess or a ruler? Hell no!" Lita spoke up this time.
"Mina look at me and tell me that this is a joke" Artemis questioned her.
"No Artemis, this isn't a joke. We don't want Serena as our leader; she is weak, a cry baby, and completely useless when it comes to fighting plus we are sick of her always being late for everything. This was our choice as Scouts. We are not asking you guys for permission."
"All of you are being irrational!" Luna yelled at them.
"Are we really? Haven't you said the same things about Serena that she is too immature and a crybaby?"
"I won't deny that I have said it before but I was only teasing."
"The bottom point is that we don't want her as our leader and we don't want to be associated with her" Amy informed her.
"Even you Amy?" Artemis asked.
"Well Serena has proven to be an unreliable leader; sure she's the Moon Princess but that's not good enough. I would have assumed that she would mature by now; especially having the responsibility of being the leader of the Sailor Scout's."
"No Amy, Serena isn't just immature she is also lazy, sniveling, clumsy, bone headed coward!" Raye added while the other nodded their heads in agreement, no one tried to argue with that, for the past 3 years they had hoped that their Princess would become the graceful, polite, smart, and all those other talented things a Princess should be, instead it seemed as if she had gotten worse!
"All of us have tried hard to make her understand and by now we're sick and tired of always trying to make the impossible happen!" "Besides what if her clumsiness causes someone else's life?" Lita asked as she others once again nodded their heads in agreement.
"The bottom point is that you can't just kick her out! I know Serena may not be a perfect leader or Princess but she's still the Princess and your leader. She has the right to be with you guys and you are suppose to be her friend and watch out for her, besides what are you going to do when a yauma attacks?" Artemis once again spoke up.
"Well, we have always managed without her, besides one of these days she's going to klutz out and what then? I think it's better to kick her out now than later because maybe later it will be too late. Serena isn't smart and we all know this, I have tried to make her grades go up but she just doesn't want to understand and I'm getting tired of repeating myself over and over again." Amy spoke up.
Luna was getting sick of hearing these things, how could they just kick her out. Didn't they know that Serena was the one who actually brought them together and always tried to help them out? Serena was not the perfect example of a leader but her heart was pure and innocent; she always tried to look out for her friends and she would die for them and this planet if it meant to save everyone else. In Luna's eyes, Serena was the perfect example of a leader but didn't the Scouts know that?
"What is Darien going to think?"
"Nothing, Luna I agree with the girls. Serena isn't getting any better she is just getting worse." Darien spoke up as he walked into the room and sat among the girls.
"Don't you get it! Without Serena there wouldn't be the Sailor Scouts or anything, if it wasn't for her, there would be no team and friendship between all of you. If you want the perfect example of the bad leaser, just look at yourselves because Serena would never have kicked any of you out! No matter if you're lazy or clumsy!" She once again looked at Darien, "and you, how could you just agree with them Serena is the girl you love" Luna paused as she looked at all of them "How could all of you do this to her, she loves you all of you betray her like that?" by now Luna had tears in her eyes she looked once more at the girls then at Darien and finally at Raye "I hope you don't regret your choices."
Artemis watched Luna run out of the shrine he knew that he should go after her, especially since she still did not know where Serena and Rini where located. He looked at the Scouts and deep down knew that they meant every word they said "I hope for your sake that Luna's words don't come kick you in the ass" he said before going after Luna.
"Did all of you just hear Artemis cuss?" Lita questioned.
"He is angry. As long as I've known him he has never cursed" Mina informed them. "What if we did do the wrong thing?"
Raye looked at Mina and knew she was just questioning their decision because of Artemis words but they had taken the right choice in kicking Serena out. "Mina" everyone looked towards Raye; deep down they were asking the same question. "I know that you are only questioning your decision because of what Artemis said but we don't need him or Luna to fight the Negaverse."
"But I just can't ignore him; I mean we live in the same house."
"Well, you can always kick him out. I don't see why you would want to sleep near a thing that is against your choices" Raye told them.
"I… I guess you're right. I can just close all the entries…"
"Luna, hold on!" Artemis yelled out as he tried to reach Luna. Once he did so he noticed how Luna's hair was spiking out but what worried him the most were the unshed tears that her eyes held. His whole heart broke when Luna began to cry out loud "Shh, don't cry" his nose rubbed Luna's cheek trying to comfort her.
"Who do they think that are?" Luna said between sobs "They just…can't kick her out…" Artemis began to lick her tears away.
"I know they can't."
"Why? Why would they do this to her, when she has been nothing but a friend to them; I know that Serena can mess up sometimes but she has always pulled out of trouble before."
"Yes, I know but right now I think that we need to search for Serena and Rini," he was hoping to say the right words and slowly Luna's sobs began to be more quieter as only tears fell down her face.
"Where is she?"
"I don't know but this is what we are going to do, we're going to look for her and Rini. Give her the support she needs. She's our Princess and we need to make sure she won't do something crazy and-"
"Crazy? Oh God, we need to look for her!" Luna interrupted.
"Luna, listen to me. Serena is strong and if Rini is missing then Rini must also be with her so at least we know she is not alone. Come on maybe she's at Molly's and forgot to call home" he tried smiling but knew deep down that something wasn't right.
~End of Missing~
