Chapter 13: White Knight
Edited: 8/12/16
Serena sat in her room staring down at Raye's transformation pen. She let out a sigh and put her head down as Luna looked up at her from the bed.
"What are we gonna do Luna? Raye has to be on our team."
Luna jumped off the bed and jumped up on Serena's lap as the teen girl lifted her head and looked at her. Serena reached over and gently stroked Luna underneath her chin with her left arm as she rested her free arm on the vanity and rested her chin on her hand.
"I'm just worried Luna, what if the dark kingdom finds out about Raye's identity and they go after her? She's in danger."
She stood up and picked Luna up. Serena placed Luna on the bed before she grabbed Raye's transformation pen and placed it in the silver jewelry box Darien gave her next to the red gem the White Knight handed her. She closed the lid and walked to the door as Luna checked the time.
"It's almost curfew Serena, where are you going?" She asked turning to Serena who just walked out of the room, closing the door behind herself. Luna let out a sigh as she laid back down on the bed worried.
Serena made her way down the hallway thinking to herself.
'What are we gonna do? We need her on the team.' She let out a sigh and looked down at her feet before she blinked confused. Right in front of her feet lay a single white flower petal. Serena looked around in the empty hallway before she leaned down and picked the petal up into her hand.
She looked over the petal before she looked down again and noticed a small trail of white flower petals in front of her, leading somewhere. Serena looked around the hallway before she cautiously and slowly began to follow the trail. She kept following the trail that lead her outside of the castle building to the back of the campus. She followed the trail for about ten minutes before it finally stopped. Serena looked up and was about to look around when she found the same large old stone pavilion from her dream.
She stared at the pavilion before she slowly walked up to the center where she saw the same crescent moon symbol in a circle in the very center. Serena stared at the circle surprised before she let out a small gasp as she felt someone wrap their arms around her shoulders in a gentle embrace. Serena slowly look over her shoulder to find the White Knight gently hugging her. Blinking confused, Serena turned to him.
"U-um..."
The White Knight looked at her and smiled softly before he reluctantly let go. He took a few steps back and Serena turned to him. She held her hands to her chest and stared at the ground before she looked up at him.
"U-Um..."
The White Knight smiled at her before he reached behind his back and took a few small steps to her. Serena blinked as she took a step back being slightly cautious. Once be stood in front of her, the white knight placed something on Serena's head. She looked up to find a flower crown on her head made from moonflowers. Serena turned back to the white knight who bowed to her. The white knight looked at her and smiled before he held his hand out to her. Serena looked at his hand before she looked up at him and looked him in the eyes through the holes in his mask. Serena looked down at his hand again before she placed her own on top of his. Her eyes widen surprised as an image popped up in her head.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~
Serena was running down a white marbled hallway as tears clouded her vision. She held her dress tighter as she wiped them away before she made it to a large door. She pushed the door open and saw the man in white walking down the path that lead to the very door she came through. His back was turned to her as he walked away. She felt herself yell something out but found it difficult to hear herself. The man in white stopped and turned to her as she ran down the steps that let to the door. She made it to the third step from the bottom when her heel slipped and she fell the rest of the way. As she laid on the dirt ground, Serena slowly looked up at the man in white. He looked like he was fighting between helping her or leaving.
Serena held her hand out to him as more tears rolled down her face. She slowly sat up before looking up and letting out a gasp as the man in white started to walk away from her. Serena yelled out his name as she kept crying harder and harder until everything turned white.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~
Serena jumped away from the white knight who looked at her sadly. He turned away as Serena looked down at her shaking hands.
'W-What w-w-was that?'
She looked up at the White Knight who looked at her with sad eyes. He slowly walked up to her before stopping in his tracks as Serena took a step back afraid.
"W-W-Who are you?" Serena stuttered before the White knight looked away, unable to look her in the eye. Curious, Serena slowly took small baby steps towards him. Once she stood in front of him, Serena slowly reached up to touch his cheek when he quickly grabbed her wrist. Serena let out a small squeak of surprise when she realized he wasn't hurting her.
She looked up at him and the White knight smiled a sad smile at her. Serena smiled back before it disappeared as something was thrown between them and landed on the ground. Serena jumped away from the white knight surprised before both looked down to find a red rose embedded into the ground. Serena and The White Knight looked up in the direction the rose came from to find Tuxedo Mask standing in a tree a few feet away.
"Tuxedo Mask!"
Tuxedo masked jumped down from the tree and The White Knight looked away as he shrugged.
"Typical, Romeo here just had to ruin the moment." Serena blinked as she turned to the White knight before letting out a small gasp as she was pulled away from him. She looked up as Tuxedo Mask held her close. Serena could notice, from behind his mask that was glaring at the White Knight.
'I wonder what's wrong?' She blinked as she looked back at The White Knight who was smirking at Tuxedo Mask. The White knight looked at her and smiled which caused Tuxedo Mask to tighten his grip a little on Serena. The female teen looked back and forth from both males, completely confused. Did she do something to get them mad at each other? She heard a small sigh, which caught her attention. Serena looked back at the White Knight who turned his back to her and Tuxedo Mask.
"No need to be so overprotective Tuxedo Mask, I wasn't gonna hurt Serena if that's what you were thinking. And if it makes you feel better, I'll take my leave and she's all yours... But..."
The White Knight turned back to them and glared at Tuxedo Mask through the holes of his mask.
"If you hurt her, you won't live to see the next sunrise."
The White Knight walked away, disappearing into the shadows within the trees. Serena blinked surprised and concern before she looked up at Tuxedo Mask who didn't seem to be all too happy at all. The white knight hid behind a large tree and watched the scene in front of him. He smiled to himself before turning away and began to make his way back to the school.
'Hopefully that got under his skin and he soon realizes his feelings for her.' He smirked to himself as he made it back to the school but made a turn for the girls dorms. He snuck up a tree and peaked in a bedroom he knew too well. He climbed through the balcony window before pausing in his tracks as Luna was fast asleep on the bed.
He smiled to himself before it disappeared as he remembered something.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~
Luna and a white cat looked up at him with surprised expressions. He looked up from the two felines and looked up at the other six people in the very room. A girl dressed in white stared at him with tears in her eyes and just as surprised while a woman who looked older then all of them looked at him with the same expression. He looked away before bowing his head.
He turned away and walked out of the room, ignoring the cries of the girl in white. He turned to looked at her from the corner of his eyes as the four others tried to calm the girl in white who cried out to him as she tried run up to him.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~
He shook his head before looking away as he walked over to the vanity and opened the silver jewelry box. He reached in and grabbed Raye's transformation pen before gently closing the lid. The white knight froze in place as he heard the guardian cat stir in her sleep. He turned around and quietly sighed to himself as he saw she was still asleep.
He walked over and gently stroked her fur on her spin, causing her to purr. He chuckled to himself before he walked back to the balcony window and jumped out of the room.
Raye sat in her room unable to sleep. She looked over at her clock and read one in the morning. She turned away from the clock and stared at the window at the crescent moon.
'Why can't I stop thinking about that Serena girl? I know I shouldn't like her since she's always hanging around Darien but... Why am I drawn to their weird group? God, my head hurts...'
She sat up to stretch when she heard a light chuckle.
"Penny for your thoughts Raye."
She turned to her now opened window to find the white knight standing there. Raye jumped out her bed and glared as she grabbed a nearby table lamp.
"What do you want!? How did you get in here!"
"Calm down Raye, I only came to talk."
"Get out before I call security or the dorm advicer!"
The white knight sighed as he reached into his pocket and pulled out her transformation pen. Raye gasped as she stared at the pen before the white knight walked up to her. He gently took the lamp out of her hands and replaced it with the red pen which began to glow a bright red color.
"This pen belongs to you Raye, it will never have the same reaction anyone else that it does with you. No one can replaced the senshi."
Raye stared at the pen before she looked up at him and gasped. He was smiling down at her before he leaned down and gently kissed her forehead. Raye blushed lightly as he moved back and walked back to the window. He was about to jump out when:
"Wait! W-What do you care if I'm still a senshi whatever or not!?"
He turned back to her and smiled a little.
"That's something you'll have to find out on your own Raye. Also, you shouldn't believe Mandy and her words. You should try to get to know Serena before judging her."
He turned away and jumped out of the window, leaving Raye standing in the room surprised and confused. She looked down at the pen in her hands before she turned to the crescent moon.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~
The next morning, Serena stood in front of her locker as she opened it before grabbing her text books. She closed the door jumped surprised as she found Raye standing next to her locker.
"Raye! Please don't do that."
"Sorry... Just that..."
Serena blinked confused before Raye looked at her an held up her transformation pen. Serena's eyes widen as she stared at the pen surprised.
"Where did you get that?"
"Your boyfriend the white knight came to my room last night and returned it."
Serena blinked surprised as she stuttered.
"B-B-Boyfriend!?"
"Meatball head's got a boyfriend? Since when?"
Both turned around as Serena held up her fist in anger. They turned to Darien who looked down at Serena with a surprised expression but still giving a big grin.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!"
Serena yelled out so loud that Raye and Darien flinched as their ear drums early burst.
"Ow, easy meatball head. We don't want to go deaf because of your yelling."
Serena grabbed the collar of his shirt and almost got ready to punch Darien in the face when he was hit in the back of the head with a thick hard book.
"Ow!"
Serena giggled as she let go of him. They turned to the person behind Darien to find Michael standing there with a hard book in his hands.
"You shouldn't pick on girls like that Shields, it'll only make them hate you more then like you."
Darien glared as Serena stared at him surprise.
"Me like him?! As if! I could never like a guy who picks on me and calls my hair meatballs."
"And what are you talking about? I don't like her. She's such a glutton, have you seen her eat?"
"Well excuse me for having a big appetite! At least I don't walk around acting all high and mighty!"
Michael walked up to Raye as both watched Serena and Darien bicker. Raye blinked surprised before she turned to Michael.
"Funny how they show their actual feelings in such a way huh?"
He asked as he turned to her. Raye stared at him before she looked back at Serena and Darien as they continued to fight like cats and dogs. Both turned away as the bell rang for the start of class, leaving Serena and Darien fighting in the hallway.
After second period ended, Serena hurried to the locker rooms to change for gym class when she paused in her tracks. She hid behind a locker and peaked out from behind it as she saw Mandy and her group circling around Raye.
"What do you mean you were only kidding? I thought you wanted to help me."
Mandy let out a loud laugh while her friends started to push Raye and and forth.
"Oh please, I was lying just get you and that Serena girl out of the way. I was never gonna let you have Darien. He's mine, and mine alone. Besides, its obvious he's not interested so just leave him alone."
Raye glared at Mandy before she jumped away from the girls and reached into her pocket. Serena's eyes widen as she saw Raye pull out her transformation pen.
'She's not going to! I have to stop her!'
Serena ran out from behind the lockers and ran up to Raye.
"Stop!"
Raye, Mandy and the girls turned to her as Serena grabbed the pen from Raye's grasp. Raye turned to glare at her before Serena held up her hand to stop her. Serena turned away from Raye and turned to Mandy.
"You know Mandy, I'd didn't think you'd ever stoop to do such lower things but I was wrong. You completely disgust me. Using a person's personal feelings for your own personal gain is very low."
"Oh please, don't act like you care because I know you don't. You just act all nice and cheery but in reality just a greedy bitch."
Serena raised and eyebrow and smiled.
"Your describing me or yourself? Because I do care and unlike you I don't go around pretending to be friends with people just to get something out of them. I bet your friends here are only friends with you because your the headmaster's grand-daughter. There not real friends like Raye, Amy, Andrew and... Dare I say it Darien. At least they have the decency to be true to their feelings. I may not know Raye very well but I know she's a much nicer and better person then you are."
Mandy glared at Serena before she gave a large smirk.
"You wouldn't be thinking that if you knew what that girl was really like. She's a freak with supernatural powers."
Raye gasped as glared at Mandy.
"You promised you'd never tell anyone!"
Mandy and her group broke out laughing as Raye tighten her hands into fists before Serena turned to her.
"Yah, I lied about that too. Enjoy you last minutes of popularity because after lunch, everyone in the whole school will know what kind of a freak you are."
"No Mandy, Raye's not the freak here. It's you. You go around digging in people's lives just to find something to use against them. If you keep that up, pretty soon you'll end up completely alone."
Mandy gave Serena a smirk who glared at her. Mandy and her friends walked passed both girls, pushing them out of the way before they exit the locker rooms. Serena let out a sigh before turning to Raye who was looking down at the ground defeated. Serena smiled at her as Raye looked up at her.
"Forget about her, being popular is overrated and lame anyway. Besides, Mandy's never gonna get her hands on Darien, not even in her dreams."
Raye looked away before Serena held out her hand. Raye looked up and saw Serena holding her red transformation pen to her. Raye stared at the pen before she bit her lower lip. She slowly reached over to grab the pen when loud screams where heard from outside. Both ran out of the locker room to find Mandy, her friends and a large group of girls dangling from a large spider web that was on top of the locker room building.
"Help us!"
Serena bit her lip as she held on to her brooch.
"Get me down from here!"
Mandy yelled out as she struggled against the spider web before a loud, laugh was heard. They looked in the direction of the laugh and saw a half human, half spider monster crawling to them. Mandy and all the other girls let out screams as the spider monster grabbed one of the girls and began to spin her and tie her up. (A/N:like an actual spider does to it prey)
Serena bit her lower lip before she heard:
"Serena!"
Both Serena and Raye turned to the direction of the voice to find Amy and Luna running to them. Amy and Luna stopped in front of Serena and Raye as the spider monster began to tie up another girl. All three girls hid behind the wall to the locker room building and Luna jumped out of Amy's grasp.
"Alright Sailor Senshi, transform!"
Both Serena and Amy gave a nod before Serena handed Raye her transformation pen.
"Moon Prism Power, Make up!"
"Mercury Power, Make up!"
Both transformed while Raye watched. She looked down at her transformation pen in her hands as Saolir Moon and Sailor Mercury both ran out from their hiding place. The spider monster finished wrapping Mandy up in her web when the red head spit in the monster's face.
"Untie me now you over grown bug! Don't you know who I am!?"
The monster smirked and grabbed Mandy's head, it opened itsm mouth revealing it's sharp pointy fangs. Mandy let out a loud scream as the spider got ready to bit her head off when something hit the spider's head.
"Stop right there! I won't stand by and let you make lunch meat of that innocent, but annoying girl! For Love and Justice, the pretty sailor suited soldier Sailor Moon! And In the name of the moon I will punish you!'
"Agent of Love and Exams, the pretty sailor suited soilder Sailor Mercury! Douse yourself in water, and Repent!"
"WILL THE BOTH OF YOU JUST SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!"
Mandy yelled out before the spider shot more spider web on her and covered her mouth. Both Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury jumped up on top of the school building as the spider tried to stick them to the ground with its web. Raye watched the fight from behind the building as she tighten her grip on the transformation pen. Sailor Moon removed her tiara and threw it at the spider web which caused it to collapse and all the cocooned girls to fall to the roof of the building.
"Sailor Moon, I'll distract the bug while you save the girls."
"Ok, be careful."
She ran up to the first trapped girl as Mandy wiggled around like a newborn larvae.
"MMMMPP!"
Sailor Moon ignored her as she used her tiara to cut through the web before finally freeing the girl.
"Thank you so much!"
"Anytime, now go and get out of here. It's not sa-AAFE!"
Sailor Moon looked up and saw the spider had made a new web and had her dangling by a thread of its web while Mercury was tied up on said web. Sailor Moon clawed at the web around her waist before the monster stuck her arms to her sides. Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury struggled against the spider web as the monster tied them into their own cocoons. Sailor Moon started to use her tiara to cut through the web when the spider towered over her. She let out a scream as the spider got ready to eat her head when it let out a loud scream.
Sailor Moon's eyes widen surprised as she saw a rose was lodged into the spider's head.
"How rude not to invite us to the party."
Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury looked in the direction of the voice and saw both Tuxedo Mask and White Knight standing on top of the gym building a few feet away.
"Tuxedo Mask! White Knight!"
The spider monster hissed at them before shooting some of its web at them both. Both jumped out of the way before White Knight pulled up four daggers and threw them. The daggers sliced through the spiders web and free both Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury. Both girls jumped down from the web as the white knight threw more daggers along with Tuxedo Mask throwing a couple of sharp roses, freeing the rest of the captured girls. Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury jumped down from the roof of the locker room building while the other girls ran a drain pipe and climbed down before running to safety.
"Thanks for the help."
Sailor Moon smiled at Tuxedo Mask and White Knight.
All four of them turned to the spider monster as it shot more spider web at them. All four jumped out of the way as Raye ducked behind the building to avoid being seen. Luna turned to the young teen and waved her paw at her.
"Raye you need to transform, they need Sailor Mars' help."
Raye looked at Luna surprised before she looked down at the pen in her hands.
"But what can I do?"
Raye asked before they hear four types of screams. They peaked from behind the building to find Tuxedo Mask and the White knight stuck to the wall of the locker room building while Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury where stuck to a tree nearby.
"You have to help them. Your the only one who can Raye!"
Raye looked down at the pen in her hands before she heard Sailor Moon's scream. She looked up and her eyes widen in fear as she was the spider monster opening its mouth over the blonde's head as it go ready to eat. Raye closer her eyes and yelled out loud.
"Mars Power, Make Up!"
A bright red light surrounded Raye which caught the spider's attention. Once the light died down, Raye opened her eyes and glared at the monster.
"I won't stand by and let you eat my friends! Agent of Love and Passion, the pretty sailor suited soldier Sailor Mars! In the name of Mars, I will chastise you!"
"Sailor Mars!"
Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury yelled out smiling before their smiles disappeared as the spider shot out more spider web which wrapped itself around the senshi of fire. Mars smirked as the web turned to ashes as she a red aura surrounded her body. Mars held up her hands and two ofudas appeared in her hands.
"Your toast, Evil spirit be gone!"
She tossed both ofudas at the spider creature and a fire tornado surrounded the large monster. The spider creature hissed and screamed in pain as small sparks of fire hit the web around both Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury and caused it to disintegrate as White Knight used a dagger and cut himself and Tuxedo Mask out of their web.
Once the fire around the monster disappeared, all that was left was a pile of ashes. Sailor Moon cheered as she jumped up into the air before she gently tackled Mars into a hug. Mars blushed lightly as White Knight walked up to them both and smiled.
"Excellent work Mars, you did the right thing."
Mars gave a nod she spotted Tuxedo Mask who was looking at Sailor Moon. She turned to Sailor Moon who smiled at Tuxedo Mask. Mars' eyes widen before she smiled a little to herself.
Tuxedo Mask reached behind his back and pulled out a white rose. He was about to walk over to Sailor Moon and hand it to her when White Knight pulled out a casablanca lily and placed it into Sailor Moon's hair before he kissed her cheek gently. Sailor Moon blushed slight as White Knight turned to Tuxedo Mask and stuck his tongue out at the tux hero.
Tuxedo Mask glared as White Knight jumped up on top of the gym building and disappeared. Tuxedo Mask quickly handed Sailor Moon the white rose before he ran after White Knight, ready to kill him. Mars and Mercury looked at Sailor Moon who was still blushing as she held both flowers in her hands as she touched the cheek White Knight had kissed. Mars smiled and playfully poked Sailor Moon.
"Seems to me someone has two guys fighting over her.~"
Sailor Moon shook her head as their transformations faded.
"N-Not funny Raye!"
Serena yelled while trying to cover up her blush as Amy, Raye and Luna all enjoyed a good laugh.
