Chapter 11: Black Lady vs. The Black Knight

Chibiusa waved bye to Allie as she rode off of her motorcycle and left Chibiusa walking back to the castle. Chibiusa began whistling the Sailor Stars opening as she started off toward the castle.

Chibiusa and Allie had gotten a good bit done, especially after Gabriel had left. They had gotten the basic stuff down.

Chibiusa and Allie had gotten the basic history, Princess Hikaru III of the Moon Kingdom, more commonly called Princess Hikaru the Star, had been born about one year after her sister, (Chibiusa's Mom) Crowned Princess Serenity XI of the Moon Kingdom. She was the second child of King Tidus the Peacemaker of Venus and Queen Serenity X of the Moon.

It was recognized at a young age that Hikaru was gifted with powers worthy of Mystic Knights and had been sent to Eos, a planet now destroyed, to train. It was there that Hikaru trained under the legendary Knight Ptolemy the Wise.

She eventually became the Mystic Knight of Light and Truth and according to the books died in the first waves of fighting during the Moon-Earth war. That's where the book ends Hikaru's story.

Chibiusa knew now though that Hikaru had been reincarnated as Andy Evans and had died 17 years ago defending her mom. God, Hikaru/Andy couldn't get a break could she?

Chibiusa was in rather deep thought about this and that was probably why she didn't notice the five women appear behind her.

The women all wore black clothes, 2 had pink hair, and the others had red, green, and blue.

"Hello, Serenity," The oldest pink headed women laughed at Chibiusa.

Chibiusa jumped as she turned around and stared in shock in disbelief at what she was seeing, "No… it can't been…..Black Lady?"

Indeed Black Lady, Chibiusa's evil side was in front of her, smiling evilly at her with what appeared to be CereCere, PallaPalla, JunJun, and VesVes from their Amazon Quartet days.

"Yes, We have returned with the help of our new master, Caelan," Black Lady explained, "And little princess this time nothing will stop us."

CereCere, PallaPalla, JunJun, and VesVes disappeared laughing.

"Where did they go?" Chibiusa demaned as she saw the Amazons disappeared .

"To deal with your little court," Black Lady laughed, "I'm afraid you're all mine…"

Chibiusa threw her hand out not liking the sound of this less and less and yelled, "Moon Crisis Make-Up!" Within seconds Sailor Neo Moon was in front of Black Lady.

"Cute costume," Black Lady stated, "But can you fight?"

As an answer Neo Moon pulled out her wand, "Moon-"

Black Lady sped up to Neo Moon and yanked her wand out of her hand and sent Neo Moon flying into a wall, "Got to be faster than!"

Neo Moon sat up and stared at her wand currently in Black Lady's hand.

"Hope you have more than one attack," Black Lady taunted tossing the wand up and down.

Neo Moon wanted to spat back of course she had more than one. But she would be lying big time. Neo Moon and her mother had only ever needed one attack because the Senshi, and Tuxedo Kamen was always around. Neo Moon was totally screwed.

Black Lady laughed as she powered up an energy blast, "No? Too bad, I expect more of a fight."

Neo Moon tried to stand up but, found she was trapped by under rubbles of the building she had destroyed crashing in to it. She was in trouble now.

She looked around for any sign of help but, found none. Usually this was when someone would save her, but she knew no one was coming. Most of them were in America. Neo Moon's Senshi were stuck fighting their evil selves, Helios couldn't leave his realm, and her Uncle Gabriel was on the complete different side of town. No one was coming.

Neo Moon closed her eyes waiting for the blow meant to kill her but, was surprised to her instead Black Lady's cries of pain.

Neo Moon's eyes snapped opened to see a person in black knight armor fighting Black Lady, and winning!

The knight was using a weapon Neo Moon recognized as a Sickle-Chain, Jasper and Thomas had shown one to her once, to confuse Black Lady movements.

The knight laughed as Black Lady became more and more frustrated at her attacker, till she jumped away from the knight as he yanked Neo Moon's wand out of her grasp, "Damn you! This it's over Serenity! And You!" Black Lady glared at the knight, "I don't know who the hell you are but next time stay the fuck out of my way or else!"

The knight laughed louder, Neo Moon noticed it was a girl's laugh, at the retreating Black Lady. Then jumped down and removed the rubble pinning Neo Moon to the ground and helped her up, "You okay, Serenity?"

Neo Moon nodded and asked, "How do you know my name is Serenity?"

The Knight laughed a bit and handed Neo Moon her wand back, "I knew your Mom, Dad, Aunt…you know what let's just say I'm an old friend of your family."

Neo Moon eyed the Black Knight, her armor looked familiar and her voice sounded familiar too, "All right. So what? They asked you to what over me while they are out of town?"

The black knight asked, "Oh. They're out of town? That explains why they didn't come to save you. But, nay, they didn't ask me. A dear friend made me promise to them to do this."

Neo Moon stared confused at the odd knight, "Do what?"

The Black Knight kneeled down in front of Neo Moon and stated, "On the honor of a promise, I, Kira Wind-Rider, Black Knight of Darkness and Fear, swear to defend, my niece Princess Serenity XII of the Moon Kingdom from whatever threatens her safety whether it be monster or man."

Neo Moon back away as she stared at the Knight kneeling before her. Kira, Kira the evil part of Hikaru, had just saved her life? And sworn her to protect her?

Kira stood up but was stopped from moving as a sword was pushed against her neck.

Neo Moon gasped as she saw her Uncle Gabriel, now as Mystic Knight Prince Archer, with a sword against Kira's neck.

"Uncle Archer?" Neo Moon stated. She couldn't see her uncle's expression. But she was sure it was nothing friendly.

"Kira," Archer said in a warning tone.

Kira smiled up at Archer and greeted, "Well, hello to you too, Archer."
