Chapter 25

'I remember.' She thought, 'I remember when I got my crystal and the promise I made to my mother.'

She bowed on her knees with her hands folded together to meet her head, 'I wish they knew the real me.'

"So what is your answer my child?" the lady asked.

"I want to live and forever serve you my dear sister and Queen." She answered.

"So you shall." She waved her hand and her sword appeared, "I now name you Queen Knight of Mars." She tapped her sword on each of her shoulders and then a fiery sword encrusted with rubies appeared before them, "Now take up your sword and fight beside my side Queen Mars."

Grabbing the sword out of the air she stood and took a fighting stance to test out her new sword…

"Oh Raye wake up…. Please wake up" Lita held Raye in arms crying into her hair, "Raye….. please….."

Serena slowly opened her eyes to see Seiya holding her in his arms with him walking. Retching up to placed one hand on his check "She's going to be ok, we need to get there to her." Was all she said to which Seiya nodded his head and just started to pick up his pace.

Molly was laughing and having good time with a gentleman from one of the moons of Jupiter as he twirled her around the dance floor.

"It's an honor to be dancing with the lovely Queen of Earth; I hope I can call thee again." He spoke in her ear has he held her close which sent her into giggles.

All the lights went out again as a bright green lighting streaked crossed the nights sky to make it look like day and everyone in the room stopped dancing and watched as the light just wouldn't go away and stayed in one spot.

"Seiya, put me down, she needs me," Serena looked up into Seiya's eyes, "They both need me."

Seiya nodded and stopped just only to put Serena on her feet before they were both taking off running toward the green light.

"No, Raye, please! RAYE!" Lita Shouted when a bright light shoot from her into the sky with so much force that it looked like she was a Goddess.

Raye woke to a bright light engulfing her, "Oh god Lita what have you done?" She asked as she moved to try to get close to Lita.

"If there is ever a time Serena needs to be here now is the time." Raye said to herself, "LITA wake up!" She hit the beam of light and was hit with a powerful force that flew her backwards into the fountain.

"RAYE! LITA!" Someone screamed in the distance.

Serena and Seiya arrived in the middle of the maze to see Raye fly into the Fountain and Lita engulfed by the green light in the sky.

Seiya turned to Serena "You must listen to me, your mother gave you her remaining strength to help you in this fight she knew you would need help. Your brooch has changed."

For the first time Serena took her brooch and looks at it and noticed it has been changed and felt the power from it. "Thank you, Mother." Serena looks at Seiya then at her friends she threw her hand into the air and the words just spilled off her tongue, "Moon Cosmos Eternal Power MAKE UP!
