Hey everyone! After a super long break, I'm back! Yes, Sailor Celestia is still going strong. In my absense, many new ideas for this story as well as the others have been formed.

Last Time on Sailor Celestia…
"Everyone, this is serious!" Luna shouted. Everyone became silent. "Zoicite said that the Negaverse is after her, he said that she was the key to their domination."
"Luna's right. Serena's in some major trouble." Artemis said sternly. "The entire Negaverse will be after her."
"He's right." Luna said. Then her eyes became stony. "I just don't understand it though. I met that girl months ago in passing. She saved me from a couple of idiotic kids. I scanned her but she showed no potential. Even now she leaks no scent. How is it that the Negaverse can detect something about her?"
"I'm not sure Luna." Raye said. She had been silent this entire time, her face grim. "I've tried to consult the fire but it has started to not respond."
"WHAT?" Everyone shouted.
Raye nodded quietly. "Yes. My visions are clouding. Something is coming that is blocking my sight." She turned towards Darien, who's eyes had not left the door of Serena's room once.
"Serena has an important role in this. And she might not even know this." Luna spoke.
"She displayed true courage when she pulled that stunt in tonight's battle. I am not sure who she is, but we need to make sure nothing happens to her."
"So she's really that important huh?" Raye spat bitterly. Darien spoke, his eyes finally tearing away from the doorway.
"She is."

Sailor Celestia
Chapter Eleven
The Past Princess
SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC
Serena slept through the entire day and into the night. The group had decided to let her rest and check on her tomorrow. The girls went to their homes as did the moon cats.
Darien of course, stayed in his apartment. He sat in his bedroom, watching Serena sleep so peacefully.
The moonlight reflected off her hair, making it look silvery.
His eyes began to droop and he fell to the great allure of the dream world.
SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC SC
Luna stared into the crescent moon dimly shining the earth with light. It was a waning moon however. Tommorow was the new moon. And the times of the invisible moon always filled of sadness centuries ago. The full moon brought only happiness and joy.
Something was going to happen tommorow. Something big.
And she knew that it had something to do with those two girls.
Serena and Celestia.
Such possibilities these two possessed.
She had already considered the possibility that the two were one and the same.
But that could not be possble. The Scouts, even when transformed, still retained traits of their civillian selves. Celestia and Serena were nothing alike, except for her theory that they both played a role in all of this.
Luna took a deep breath and sighed. The chill of the air made her fur stand on end.
Then, the howls of the wind gave her an idea. Could it be possible that the answer to their problems had been hiddden right under their noses for all this time?
She jumped from patio to patio in the apartment complex she had gone to think. When paw touched pavement she rushed down the empty streets of the night, with one thought burning in her head.
Could one of them be the princess?

In the darkest reaches of space, a blond haired man was kneeling infront of a throne.
"Zoicite," Drawled a cruel and twisted voice. "What news do you bring to try and overlook your latest failure against a couple of teenage girls?"
"My Queen. I bring you great news that will obliviate the need for gathering energy from these humans."
"And what is that?" The Queen sneered.
"I've found her."
"Who? You are beginning to try my patience."
"The girl. The one spoken of long ago. The one the ancient legend speaks of."
Silence filled the air.
"Go. Leave me. You have proven yourself today Zoicite, by bringing me news that the girl is alive. I will call for you to attack when enough energy has been prepared to turn the battle to our favor."
"Yes my Queen." He bowed and then vansihed into thin air.
The Queen of the Negaverse turned around. Behind her glowed a mass of darkness.
"She is alive." The Queen spoke. "The one the ancients spoke of."
"Yes." Hissed an invisible being. "The chosen warrior. Bring her to me."
"As you wish." The Queen bowed obediently.

A cry of sobs filled the night and shook Darien from his slumber.
He found the girl who mystified him, the girl whose beauty could not be described, shuddering violently.
He was instantly at her side, ready to do anything she needed.
"No." She whispered.
"Serena. You're having a nightmare. C'mon, please wake up." He said, scared for her.
"Stop…don't leave me!" She said, much louder.
"I won't. I'm here Serena. I'm here for you." He wrapped his arms around her petite body.
And then, the onslaught of her nightmare came. She screamed into the night. She punched and kicked him, trying to throw off her 'attacker.' But Darien did not let go. He would not leave her alone.
After a minute, the screaming died down. Tears poured from her eyelids.
"Mercury…Venus…Mars…Jupiter…please…no…" Her heard her mumble.
And then, she whispered again.
"No…"

The phone rang first thing the next morning and Darien was quick to answer it. The receptionist down in the lobby told him that four girls wished to see him.
"Let them up." He said, before hanging up. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the mahogany door.
He found the group crowded out in the hallway, all trying to squeeze in first.
"Hey. Come on in, I need to tell you guys something." He said to the girls and the cats.
"I have something important to discuss as well." Luna announced.
They made themselves comfortable in the living room. It, along with Raye's temple, were the only good places in the city to have a Scout meeting without being overheard. Discussing it at school was already risky enough as it was.
"How's Serena?" Mina asked, concerned for the girl.
He looked over to the door to his bedroom and sighed.
"She's still resting. That Youma took alot of energy out of her. She just needs rest for now."
"I still can't believe how much energy that monster had to take before Serena passed out." Artemis remarked. "She's got a lot of power in her."
"Last night, Serena…she kind of had a…" What could he call it? A dream? A premonition? "A…nightmare I guess you could say." Darien explained slowly.
"And what happened?" Amy asked, already pulling out her mini computer to analyze the situation.
"Well…she said some…things."
"Like what?"
"Your names." He answered. They stared at him. "Well, your Scout names actually. From they way it sounded…you guys had…left her alone."
"What? But we've never met her before." Lita exclaimed. "I'd never abandon her if she needed me."
"Before we continue," Luna interupted. "I need to state a theory that I have been working on involving Serena as well as Sailor Celestia."
The others gave her their full attention.
"I have run through the Moon Kingdom database. It is impossible for the two to be the same person. But I came across more info as well. This new information has led me to believe that one of them is our Princess."
"WHAT!" Everyone screamed.
"It makes sense." Artemis thought. "The princess would have been reborn just like we were."
"But one thing though." Mina thought out loud. "If one of them is the Princess, then who could the other one be?"
Luna hung her head. "I don't know. And Zoicite said that Serena was the key to the Negaverse's victory. But they are solely focused on finding the Imperial Silver Crystal. The princess is meaningless to their plans."
"So you're actually thinking that Serena could be our princess." Raye spat. "Yeah, like that'll happen. She's useless."
"Raye. She's a lot more than you give her credit for." Artemis admonished her.
"Yeah Raye. Serena's cool. It'd be awesome if she was our Princess."
The dark haired priestess snorted. "Sure. And what if Celestia's the princess? Consider that?"
"She does have a point girls." Luna agreed. "We should not jump to conclusions. And for all we know, I could be completely wrong."
"If Celestia is the Princess, then we'll be having alot of headaches." Artemis continued.
"Celestia may save our butts during the battles, but she disappears before we have a chance to blink. How can we talk to her about the Princess if she's already gone?"
"We need to corner her. That's the only way." Raye stated.
"That'll never work. Celestia's more powerful than all of us combined." Mina said.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Raye scoffed.
Before the blond could answer, a groan emitted from within the other room.
Darien stood up.
"She's awake."
