Recap of end of last chapter
"Fight to the very last eh, brat?" mocked Kaorinite, "Fine, have it your way!" She raised her sword to where Serena's heart would be and charged towards her. Serena closed her eyes, hearing the pleas of both Diemien and the Scouts. Preparing for the tip of the sword to pierce her heart and kill her. When it didn't come she opened her eyes to see Endymion there. Immediately she froze in her spot as she saw Kaorinite's sword protruding from the spot where the heart would be.
"DARIEN"
"ENDYMION!" exclaimed two sets of voices as Serena backed away, confusement into her eyes. She saw Kaorinite pull out a seed from his chest and smirked. She then crushed it within her hands as Endymion's eyes went blank then closed completely. He fell to the ground, dead. Serena stared at this, her blank eyes starting to gain a little bit of pupil back. Then something snapped inside of her as a sharp wind picked up around her, kicking up debris. Kaorinite gasped and started to back away, fear inside of her eyes. Serena turned her eyes upon her, a rage look in them. Grabbing her rapier, it started to respond to her anger.
"You had no right, witch!" snarled Serena as she started towards her. Kaorinite just backed away, hoping to keep her distance from her. Snarling, Serena charged towards Kaorinite and lunged, giving her the same wound as she had to Endymion. Pulling her sword out she jumped up and energy started to surround her.
"DARK JUDGMENT!" Serena screamed as a black/silver blast sailed down and slammed right into Kaorinite. Serena landed, immediately falling to the ground. The barrier faded and Diemien ran to her side immediately. He checked for a pulse and found one.
"It... has... started..." Serena heaved as everyone looked over towards her as she fell unconscious.
Chapter 8: Rescue
Diemien held the unconscious Serena in his arms. Her silver/red blood stained his clothes as his eyes held worry.
'Serenity has way more power than this. What happen?' Diemien questioned, worry filling him, 'And what does she mean by 'It has started? What does that mean? Serenity, what are you holding out on me? I don't like this at all… something is wrong' He held Serena closer and moved to teleport away from the field.
"MATTE?" called out Mars, anger in her voice.
"Why should I?" growled Diemien.
"We will not let Serenity slip through our hands again!" growled Jupiter. He gave them a glare and tried to teleport again when he was tackled by her.
"Oh no you don't!"
"Jupiter what are you doing?" The other scouts yelled.
"You're going get hurt!"
"I don't care! either he gives us back Serena or I'll force him too!" When Diemien tried to get up she forced him down, and carefully rolled Serena out from under them. Mars ran over and picked her up, making sure not to jolt the girl's injuries anymore than they already were.
"Give her back!" Diemien shouted.
"Oh be quiet!" Jupiter snapped, "You can't do anything for her at the moment, now relax and I may just let you up!" Diemien let out a small growl and tried to get free of Jupiter's grasp,
"Go on! Get Serenity out of here!" Jupiter urged as Mars nodded. She turned and scrammed out of the park. Some of the Scouts followed as the rest stayed, in case Jupiter needed help. Jupiter's grip slipped a bit as Diemien raised his hand and sent a small blast into Jupiter's stomach, sending her off of him and skidding across the ground. Diemien got up and scowled at the Scouts.
"Serenity will come back to us, weather you like it or not" Diemien warned as he ducked under a couple of the Scout's blasts, "You win for now… but I will be back for Serenity" Before the remaining Scouts could send another set of blasts at him, Diemien teleported from the area.
"Common, let's go" urged Venus as the remaining Scouts took off.
---------------------------------------
Mars made it back to the mansion as she was met at the front door by Kim and Matt. They immediately let her in and Mars rushed her carefully upstairs to Serena's room.
When she was tucked in, Mars turned and saw Jupiter, pale, but otherwise ok.
"Are you ok?" she asked walking beside her.
"Yeah I'm fine just need some rest is all...you have any Advil?"
"I think Kim has some in the medicine cabinet down-stairs" When Jupiter was gone; she sighed and sat down beside Serena's still form. Before she knew it she had fallen asleep.
"Finally she's asleep! And my legs were starting to cramp too" Diemien sighed in relief and dropped from the roof into the room, quietly so he did not disturb the Fire Senshi. He started to make his way to Serena when he heard a noise behind him.
'Well so you followed us hmm?" He whirled around drawing his sword and saw Pluto standing there smiling.
"Its ok you can sheath your weapon. I'm not going to attack you" Diemien sheathed his sword, keeping his eyes on Pluto.
"What do you want?" growled Diemien, still very warily of her.
"You love Serenity-hime do you not?" Pluto asked, startling Diemien a bit.
"Hai, I do, with all my heart" started Diemien.
"And that is also why you are very protective of her ne?" Pluto asked.
"Hai" Diemien whispered, looking over at the sleeping Serenity, "Though you know why I am here, Pluto…" His emotions went behind his mask.
"Hai, I do and I cannot allow you to take Serenity back with you" Pluto stated, her grip on her staff tighten.
"You will not stop me from taking her Pluto" Diemien stated.
"Then you will have to go through us, Diemien" came Uranus's voice as she, Neptune and Saturn stepped out of the shadows. Diemien immediately grasp his sword, eyes narrowing.
"I won't leave without Serenity" Diemien growled, drawing his sword and raising it in front of him.
Diemien, come back IMMEDIATELY! came the rough order of Calias. Diemien sneered as he started to back away.
"I will be back for Serenity" snarled Diemien as he flickered out. They relaxed, knowing now that Serenity was safe at the moment.
"He will be back you know" commented Uranus as she held her Space Sword beside her.
"Unfortunately, hai" Pluto agreed.
"Then we'll have to set up more guards around Serenity-mama" Saturn stated as they all nodded.
"And make sure that Diemien wont get another chance to grab Serenity-hime" Neptune stated, staring out the window into the distance.
"Agreed" Pluto stated, nodding.
----------------------------------
Sam awoke with fright very early that morning. He climbed out of his bed and headed to Serenity's room. He saw Jupiter there and smiled faintly. Quietly as he could he walked up to the bed and crawled to Serenity's side. Serenity unconsciously wrapped her arm around Sam and brought him closer. Sam smiled; enjoying the comfort and warmth his sister gave to him and soon fell right back asleep. Jupiter had awoken when she heard a very faint noise. She watched as Sam crawled up beside Serenity and her arm wrapping around him. Soon he fell back to sleep.
'Even though Serenity is the enemy, it seems she still very protective of Sam' Jupiter thought as she watched them a while and soon fell back asleep.
-------------------------------
When Serena opened her eyes, she shot up remembering the previous night, only to double over, as a white hot pain stabbed at her wounds.
"Don't move, you will just make your injuries worse" Her head snapped up and she saw Uranus standing in the doorway.
"Its you" she sighed.
"Yeah it's me, and you have better listen to me, or those wounds are going to open even more and we don't want that now do we?" Serena growled and made to stand when she was overcome by a wave of dizziness and fell on the floor.
"Wh-whats going on?" Uranus shook her head and went to help her back up onto the bed.
"I was about to tell you, you've lost way too much blood last night and your body is healing. When she was back in her bed Uranus turned to walk away but stopped and caught a dagger being thrown at her.
"Well, well! You have hidden weapons!" she laughed, "You're sneakier than we thought Kitten!" Serena glowered at her as she left the room.
'I've got to get out of here, but I'm too weak at the moment. Grrrrr, If only Diemien were here, he'd help me figure this out.' she sighed and leaned back against the pillows, 'Hmm? Since when did the pillows get so soft?' she yawned, and fell asleep, snuggling deep in the comforter.
The Scouts were talking at the table when Uranus came down the stairs with a smile.
"So how is she?" Mercury asked.
"Oh she's fine! Wanted to kill me though" she replied showing them a small, razor-sharp dagger. "Wow, so she had a hidden weapon on here?"
"No, not 'hidden weapon' more like 'hidden weapons'" They stared in shock as Uranus dropped 9 different knives and daggers on the table.
"Wait" Venus said slowly, "How did she hide them? I mean, there's no way she could have hidden them from us, when we carried her!"
"And that's another thing. I found them all along her legs and arms." When they gave her a blank stare she sighed and said "They were enchanted guys"
"Oh that explains it"
"Well I better get dinner on!" said Kim, "She must be hungry by the time she wakes up right?" Everyone nodded in agreement.
--------------------------
Diemien paced his room, anger inside of him.
'What makes them think I would allow them to keep Serenity there? They caused her enough harm as it is' Diemien thought.
"Sir Diemien?" asked a voice, snapping him out of his thinking.
"Hai, what is it?" snapped Diemien as the person coward back a bit from his anger.
"Master Calias requests to see you right away" the person stated as Diemien just nodded curtly.
"You're dismissed" he stated as the person bowed and hurried out of the room in a rush, 'Calias is probably going to punish me for losing his prize. But maybe Serenity being taken back was a good thing?' Diemien just shrugged the idea off and exited out of his room and towards the throne room that housed his master.
"You summoned me, M'lord?" Diemien asked as he entered the throne room, going to one knee when he reached the front of the throne.
"Hai, I did Diemien" started Calias, "Where is Serenity" Diemien flinched as he knew he was going to be punished.
"I lost her to the Scouts, M'lord" Diemien answered as he felt the anger rising inside. The next thing he knew, he was sailing backwards and slamming into the wall. Diemien slumped to the ground as his armor had burnt spots on them.
"Just be glad that I was merciful, Diemien. Now, I want you to get Serenity back!" Calias ordered as Diemien rose to his feet and bowed.
"As you wish, M'lord" Diemien answered as he walked out of the throne room quickly.
Diemien walked into his room to gather some things.
'When I am free of that demon's control. I won't be afraid to kill him on the spot' snarled Diemien in thought as he walked over to a closet. Opening the doors revealed it was filled with all sorts of weapons. He traded his sword for another one and smirked. He strapped it around his waist and then clipped a cloak onto his back. He grabbed a couple of daggers and stuck them in his boots. Closing the closet, he locked it to make sure no one stole his weapons. He then walked out of the room and down the hall when he stopped.
"You have to get Serenity back, Calias" snarled a women's voice.
"I know, Mistress but it's going to be hard now since the Scouts will probably watch her like a hawk" Calias stated as Diemien moved up against the wall more to listen in.
"Serenity must be the sacrifice to break the seal" stated the Mistress, "You have to get Serenity back any possible way you can… I don't care how you do it!"
"Hai, I understand. Diemien is in charge of doing it, Mistress" Calias stated.
"Then hope he gets her back" growled Mistress, "Meanwhile I need you to make the preparations for the sacrifice…"
"Hai" agreed Calias as he stood back up. Diemien hurried as quietly as he could away from Calias and the mysterious women's voice.
'Serenity is the one they will use for the sacrifice?' Diemien thought with confusion, 'But the sacrifice has to be one of Chosen one… and Serenity has none of the signs to prove she is it' Diemien then slowed down, confusion on his face, 'I must do though as I am told… for now that is. Forgive me Serenity' In a flurry of silver petals, Diemien had vanished from the wall.
------------------------
Serenity awoke with start as sweat soaked her body. Her blank dark blue eyes held fear and worry. Her breathing was very ragged as she clenched the sheets very tightly.
'Kami! Why! Why must these nightmares haunt me at night?' Serenity wondered as she winced in pain, her wounds hurting her, 'Damn that blasted Kaorinite! I was too careless?' Suddenly some arms wrapped around her waist as Serenity stiffened up. Looking down she saw Sam there, his face burying deep within her shirt.
'And why do I feel so attached and protective of you, lil one?' Serenity wondered as gently pushed him off of her. Sam looked up at her confused as Serenity looked away.
"Rena-mama…" he asked as Serenity noticed fright in his voice.
"Why? Why is it I feel familiar around you?" Serenity wondered as Sam tilted his head curiously.
"Because you are both of our sisters" came Kim's voice as Serenity shot her head up and let out a low growl. Serenity could see a couple of the Scouts standing guard out by the door.
'No way can I escape that way…' Serenity thought, as she tried to scope out any way she could find to escape.
"I thought you might be hungry" She gently sat the food down on the table beside Serenity.
"I'm not" came the gruff answer as she winced a bit, pain shooting out of her wounds. Kim reached down to take care of her wounds as Serenity knocked her away.
"Stay away from me!" snarled Serenity as she tried to rise from the bed, "Get out…. GET OUT NOW!" Kim took this cue and exited out of the room. She stopped at the door and turned to Sam.
"I'm staying in here, Kim" Sam stated. Kim sighed and nodded, closing the door after her and leaving only her and Sam.
Kim sighed as she walked out of the room.
"No luck?" stated Amy as Kim looked up and shook her head.
"She doesn't trust me it seems..." Kim stated.
"This is going to be harder than it looks" groaned Mars as Kim silently nodded.
------------------------
Serena fell asleep once again, knowing she won't do any good with her wounds. Sam watched her sleep, curiosity in her eyes.
'Onegai, come back to us Rena-mama' Sam begged as he sat upon the bed, watching him. A nudge was felt and Sam looked down to c Blaze.
"Hey boy..." Sam greeted as Blaze jumped up onto the bed, curling up around him. Sam stroked his fur as he was lost deep in thought.
'I wonder if she will understand that we are not the enemies.' he sighed,' Well maybe a good nights sleep will help her figure it out.' He made to get off the bed but a strong arm kept him in place.
"Hey let me go!"He cried struggling against it but it didn't let go, "Serena!" He turned to glare at a slightly sleepy but smiling Serena.
"Sorry brat you're staying with me." He tried to wriggle his way out but she held him all the tighter and went back to sleep. He sighed and gave up.
'Well at least she stayed some what the same' he though and snuggled into the blanket.
----------------------------------
Unbeknownst to Sam, a shadow was outside on the roof waiting impatiently for everyone to go to bed. Diemien growled. He has been waiting for 4 hours and still almost everybody was awake! When he heard the neighbors dog start howling at him he pitched a rock and hit it upside the head. He listened and smirked slightly when he heard a following yelp.
"Maybe that dog will shut up now" he grumbled.
----------------------------------
Down in the kitchen Neptune heard the yelp.
"Um Pluto? Remember that dog that lives next door?" Pluto looked up in surprise.
"You mean the one who's always barking?"
"Yeah, he stopped…." They met each others eyes for a second, and dashed upstairs to Serena's room. They opened the door and saw Diemien smiling while standing near her bed. He turned to greet them, but was met with a punch to the face.
"Ow! What was that for?" He cried, rubbing his face.
"Ah nothing, but you were getting on my nerves" Mercury replied, flexing her arm. The other Scouts gaped at her. She had never shown that much backbone to an enemy before.
They were so shocked that they didn't notice when Diemien got up and ran for the window with Serena in his arms, until Blaze ran by and latched onto his arm.
"Get this stupid tiger off of me!" After a few moments of stunned silence, Mars yelled
"Well? What are we waiting for! Let's get them!" When he saw them coming at him, he shifted Serena, and jumped out the open window, and hit the ground running.
Several thuds behind him indicated that they were still following him, and they weren't going to give up that easily. Pulling a small vial from his coat, he stopped and calmly tuned to face them. "Alright Diemien, Don't move! Unless you want be barbequed!" Mars said readying her attack. "You will risk hurting your princess?" he chuckled, "Alright then, before you talk about barbequing me, lets see if you can even touch me first!" He put Serena gently on the ground, threw off his coat and fell into a stance that had frightened so many before, but making sure they don't see the concoction in his hand.
"Heh come on girls lets show him what were made of!" Jupiter smirked.
They stood at a standstill, waiting for the other side to move first, until Venus disappeared. "What?" he looked sharply behind him only to see Venus with her Love me Chain, just disappearing, 'Great she's moving so fast I can't keep up, while the other girl scouts are trying to sneak up on me!' Just before the chain hit he flicked open the vial and drank it in one go.
"Wha-" Venus started but was hit hard, slamming her on the ground. When the Scouts got a good look Diemien, they gasped. Diemien had a faint blue aura around him.
"Come on! You're not going to let that scare you are you?" Mars exclaimed. They stiffened their resolve and attacked him again.
" Mars Flame-"
"Pluto Deadly-" He glanced up, pulled his sword from its place, and closed his eyes.
"What's he doing?" Uranus asked.
"Hold on just a minute" Mercury activated her visor.
"Hmmmm…Oh no! Tell them to call the attacks off!" She cried. But it was too late; the attacks were already powered and launched.
"SNIPER!"
"SCREAM!" Diemien opened his eyes and his sword started glowing the same blue he was. He raised it high and shouted
"Aura Blade!" At once the entire battlefield was bathed in a white light. They saw their attacks seemingly bounce off an invisible barrier and twist around the blade. They saw he hesitated a bit before lifting the now pulsating blade above his head.
"Goodbye Scouts! Diamond Dragon Strike!" He slammed it on the ground and the last thing they saw before they blacked out from exhaustion, was someone in front of them with their arms spread.
