Author's Notes: I'm sorry about the two month wait. I had writer's block and I wasn't happy with my original version of this chapter. Enjoy.
The wind howled, the rain showed no mercy, and the sky was being ripped apart by the lightning and thunder testing each other's strength. No one before had seen such a murderous storm come out of no where so quickly. But then, no human knew exactly why such a storm even emerged in the first place or who was causing it.
The Prince of the Terrain Vampire race, Endymion and his raw, overly extreme anger.
His eyes seemed to cloud over for only a second as the rage poured through his system like frantic water ran down a drain. His comrades watched in horror and slight fear as his eyes darken to the deepest black as the sky around them followed. The streets became dark after the electricity fizzled and died. New York City was in the middle of a blackout with the most dangerous vampire steaming with fierce energy in the very center.
His head lifted slowly before his eyes connected with those of his generals. "You four, why the hell are you just standing there?"
Jadeite blinked in stupidity. "You're not going to run up and see what happened?"
Endymion glared at him, his soaked black bangs almost like a blanket over his matching eyes. "Obviously not. I already know what happened to her."
Kunzite stepped forward. His white haired was slightly darker from being drenched. "Are you going to do nothing?"
Endymion looked up at the sky while the rain pierced his face. It didn't hurt. He didn't even feel it on his marble skin. "When I first met Serenity, she told me she was a goddess."
Nephrite nodded. "We know."
Endymion looked back at his men, his eyes showing nothing. "If that is true, she can take care of herself."
Zoicite's bright green eyes widened at the statement. "How can you say that? You have to help her, Endymion, and your mother!"
"They both can take of themselves. My mother is one of most skilled vampire of our clan. She'll be all right. She doesn't need my help." Endymion started towards the entryway of the alley. "Besides, it's not like they can kill the undead with skin harder than stone."
"And what of Serenity?" Kunzite said.
Endymion hardly glanced over his shoulder to look at him. "What about her? She means nothing to me. She didn't give me what I wanted so this will serve as punishment. But like I said, if she is a goddess, they cannot harm her." Endymion looked forward again. "I'm not worried."
The vampire continued his way into the city street, ignoring the cries of protest from his four best friend and most trusted allies from behind. As the sky poured down around him, he knew they were substituting the tears he could not shed.

The lights swirled around her as her mind started to come back down to reality. The dreams of horror faded like a rainbow slowly disappearing until she saw her new location. The room was obvious if you even want to call it a room.
"A cell," the goddess whispered harshly to the innocent air. Standing up, Serenity walked confidently towards the metal door, placing her pale hand against it. With her eyes closed, she whispered with great speed the words of her powers in the ancient tongue of the Lunarians. Her eyes snapped open as her gaze pierced into reflection in the shiny metal. Cerulean eyes widened. "What?"
"Don't bother," a voice said from the shadows.
At the sound of the voice, Serenity whipped her body around, her hands coming together at her chest, preparing to use her powers again. "Who's there? I demand to know!"
Small, soft footsteps started towards her, but Serenity held her ground. A goddess shows no fear to those beneath them. A tall, slim woman stepped out into the dim candlelight that lit the small cell. Her fire red hair flowed down to her waist as her dark hazel eyes stared back at her. A white dress-like outfit covered her curves as well as the cleavage Serenity knew she possessed. "Don't bother." She walked closer to Serenity until she stood right in front of her. "Lower your arms. I will not harm you." Reaching forward, the foreign woman grabbed Serenity right hand to raise it in front of Serenity's face. She pointed to a metal band that was clasped on her wrist. "They know who you are. See this? It prevents you from using your powers. You can't escape." She motioned to her other wrist. "Since you're so strong, they had to put two on you."
The woman let go of Serenity's hand, making it fall back to her side. "How do you know all this?"
"I was in here when they brought you in and when they restrained you while they put those bands on." The woman took a step away, her face turning towards the lone candle on the wall.
"But why… why am I here?" Serenity looked around. "Wait, where is here?"
The woman didn't look back. "You're not on Earth anymore. This is the Dark Moon, Nemesis."
"What?"
Crossing her arms over her chest, the woman finally returned to gaze to the confused goddess. "You've been kidnapped as was ordered by the queen, Beryl, but it was played out by her son, Diamond."
"Who are they?"
The woman turned fully towards her. "You don't know yet you watch the world from above." She clicked her tongue in disgust. "Queen Beryl has always been infatuated with Endymion, and she has always wanted him for herself while on the other hand, Diamond has felt the very same way about you." Her eyes narrowed. "This was originally a trick to play Endymion into their domain to save you, but Diamond wants you too. The queen wants you dead because you've caught the interest of her desires. Either way, you won't be able to get far with those bands on your wrists. You've got no where to turn. If you escape the queen's need for your head, you still won't be able to get out for Diamond's needs for you in his pants. In the end, you don't have anywhere to turn." Her hazel eyes connected with Serenity. "You have to wait for Endymion to save you."
Serenity flipped her long hair over her shoulder. "I'd rather not wait for eternity to come."
"What are you talking about?"
Serenity walked over to the other side of the room, letting her body slide down the stone wall. "He won't come for me."
"What? Why do you say that?"
Serenity studied the metal, heavy bands on her wrist. "He doesn't care about me that way."
"Doesn't care about you…? Don't be naïve. Even if Endymion doesn't have romantic feelings for you, he still cares about you in same way and it'll be enough to provoke him to rescue you!"
Serenity head snapped up to glare at the stranger. "Who do you think you are anyway? You're a prisoner here like me, right? You don't know anything about the relationship between me and Endymion so stop acting like you do."
The woman licked her lips before the pulled back to reveal her teeth. Serenity stared at two pointy and most likely very sharp fangs. "I never did introduce myself. My name is Gaia, Queen of the Terrain Vampires. I am Endymion's mother."

The Goddess of Pluto watched in dismay at the scene going on between the Queen of the Vampires and Goddess of the Moon before she flipped to another view through the Window of Time. Endymion hadn't returned to his room in the abandoned building, but instead was in the cave underneath the city's graveyard. Why did fate have to be so cruel? Sailor Pluto sighed before walking away from the window.
"What's with the sigh, Goddess of Time?" a lovely voice asked from the mist.
A small, unusual smile raised the corners of the woman lips. "Queen Serenity, I'm sorry."
The queen walked towards the other goddess. "Pluto, I know you're worried, but I also know you know that this is their destiny."
Pluto nodded. "Yes, I know this, but I still hate to watch them be put in this situation. Endymion's words were so cold. His mother was no different."
The ancient Queen and Goddess of the Moon smiled, placing a gentle hand on the dark green-haired woman's shoulder. "This was meant to be. Vampires are known to have hearts as cold as their skin and walls surrounding their hearts that is as unbreakable as their skin." Her eyes turned soft. "Serenity will change that."
Pluto looked over her shoulder to watch the Window of Time flicker to the future. She smiled. "I know." The woman that would live for eternity looked back at her queen. "I have faith in her."
The silver-lavender-haired woman smiled. "As do I." She stepped back, a grin appearing on her face. "But let's spice things up a bit." With a snap of her fingers, the rest of the planet's goddesses appeared, surrounding the two. "I believe Serenity will need some help from her friends, don't you think, Pluto?"
Pluto paused in shock, but nodded her head. The queen stepped to the side to let Serenity's friends and guardians gather around the Keeper of Time. Pluto raised her elegant, silver staff, whispering the command to make the Garnet Orb at the staff's peak glow. Within a split second, the light fills the room with its power before it dies back down, taking the eight goddesses with it.

A swampy green light eliminates the small room before a woman with similar hair color stand in its place. A scowl is placed on her face as she clutches a piece of paper in her hands. Throwing a few things on the bed, she storms over to a dresser. Flinging out random skimpy dresses, she pulls out a sharp blade.
Clutching the sharp dagger in her hand, she walks over to the mirror. "That brat!" The woman slides her finger over the sharp edge. "Ow!" Blood oozes from a minor cut. She looks back at the mirror, shaking her head. The scowl returns as her red eyes blaze. "They finally caught her and Diamond couldn't be happier!" With a click of her tongue, she head towards the door. "I'll just have to rid her from this world so I can have him all to myself." Emerald opens the door, leaving her laughter still lingering in the air.
I know nothing really happened like I'm sure you thought. But I've decide to make this 15 chapters instead of ten. I couldn't see myself solving all the conflicts in two chapters. I must have been insane for thinking I could. I hope you're all happy with the update. Now that this is going to be 15 chapters, this will be what's coming: four more chapters and an epilogue. Well, once again, sorry about the wait. I hope you liked the chapter. Tell me your thoughts as well as anything else you'd like to say concerning the story. Thanks for reading.
