Chapter 5 – The Worlds Collide

Serena lifted her foot to rush over to the body, but it remained frozen in midair. Her lungs felt tight like she couldn't get enough air, her lips parted, panting to breathe. There's something about this spiky hair man that looked familiar to her, but she couldn't place him.

He groaned on the ground, making Serena swallow loudly.

"Are you okay?" Serena gulped, her cornflower eyes checked over his body. He had on a flannel shirt with baggy jeans; his shirt did well to sculped out his well-toned chest, and arms. His sleeves rolled up to his elbow, but he didn't look hurt.

He groaned again as his eyes shot open, and his green eyes met hers.

"Serena," he groaned.

"How do you know my name?" Serena gasped. "Have we met?"

Dean rolled over onto his stomach and used the muscles in his arms to push him up onto his knees. He rubbed the back of his head, looking around, staring at the unfamiliar city.

"We don't have much time," Dean's eyes focused back on Serena, "We have to get them back." Dean pulled out a brown pouch from his back pocket. "I need your help."

But before Serena could say anything, five Sailor Scouts blocked her path, their arms outstretched, their powers pulsating through their hands, all aimed at Dean.

"Who are you?!" Mars yelled at the man. All the scouts had seen the green glow of magic on the roof of the starlight tower and knew Serena was in trouble.

"Rei, get out of the way, I need Serena's help!" Dean cursed. He was surprised to see the girls in short skirts and bodysuits. When he first met them, he really didn't believe they were superheroes, but now, he feared them and their powers.

"How do you know who I am?" Mars aimed her fire arrow at Dean's heart.

"Come on, you guys!" Dean cursed, "I don't have time for this nonsense bullshit. You got to help me save Serena and Sammy."

The girls looked on confused; they glanced at Serena for a second, then turned back to Dean.

"Serena's fine," Lita narrowed her eyes, she didn't trust this man, "Are you from the negaverse?"

"Not this Serena, the other Serena," Dean sputtered, "Serena, remember your missing half, you're not complete."

Those words stung Serena, how did he know she felt like a part of her was missing, thought Serena.

"Girls, stop," Serena commanded. She gently shoved the girls away from her and walked up to Dean, kneeling in front of him.

"How do you know?" She whispered to him.

"It's a long story; will you help me?" Dean asked.

Serena gulped, knowing his words meant danger, but as she stared into his helpless, pain-filled green eyes, she couldn't say no.

"What do I have to do?" Serena closed her eyes, afraid of his words.

"Serena?" Mini-Moon stepped away from the girls, her brooch tugging her forward.

"Who is this?" Dean doesn't remember meeting this scout. She's way too young to fight crime.

"My daughter from the future, she came back in time to train as a Sailor Scout," Serena's words drifted off her tongue so smoothly that she didn't hesitate to answer his question.

"Your world is weird; I will give you that," Dean mumbled. His eyes turned back to Serena, "I need your brooch."

All the girls gasped and wanted to run to their leader, but she held her hands up, and they stopped.

"Why?" Serena asked, cocking her head to the side.

"You are connected to Serena still, by the brooch you wear. It split in half in my world, so we can use it to bring Serena and Sammy to this world," Dean explained, trying to remember everything that Rowena told him. His fingers fumbled with the pouch, another item Rowena gifted him.

"Help me save Sammy, and we will go back to our world, I promise," Dean took out a piece of white chalk and candles. "Trust me."

Serena gulped again, eyeing the objects in his hand. She gasped as a jolt of pain raced up her arm. She stared down at her right arm to see it bleeding.

Serena stumbled back, crying out as another mark appeared on her skin, this time her leg, a big gash on her upper right thigh.

All the girls crowded her, trying to stop the bleeding, but more cuts appeared on her skin.

"What's going on?" Lita panicked, placing her right hand over the wound, but the blood seeped through her fingers.

"Serena, in the other world, must be in trouble. Help me, we don't have much time," Dean cursed.

Another scream tore from Serena's throat as another mark appeared on the right side of her cheek, her breathing became laboured as if she'd been battling for hours.

Dean started to draw on the roof with chalk, making a pentagram with a lions head in the center. He placed four black candles at each point, sprinkling them with sea-salt before lighting them.

"Place her in the middle," Dean instructed.

The girls were afraid to move Serena, as more cuts and bruises graced her body. Tuxedo Masked showed up to the scene, feeling Serena's pain. He saw the confused look of the girls and the strange man, yelling at them, but his eyes went to Serena's battered body.

"What happened?" He slipped his arms under Serena's neck and legs.

"We have to get Serena into the circle," Ami sniffled, her leader was dying, and she couldn't do anything about it. Her visor showed no injuries on her leader's body; she felt useless.

Tuxedo Masked did as instructed and placed Serena in the center of the pentagram, unease, fear of not knowing gnawing at his stomach.

Dean took out a scroll and started to chant in Latin.

00000000000000000000000

Serena cursed as her arm bloomed with blood, but she repaid the vampire by chopping off his head. She could see Sam on the floor, dressed in black, chains had him on all fours. His head bowed as his hair hid his features.

"I'm coming for you!" Serena screamed as she ducked under the arm of another vampire, slicing his head off with ease.

A wendigo pounced from the side, taking a big chunk out of her thigh. She winced, and her leg crumbled, but her arms swung high, cutting the wendigo in half. Her sword, light in her hand, swung with ease, cutting down each monster as if made of butter. There's a horde of Monsters in the room, but Serena's eyes couldn't spot Eve, but she didn't care, she had to get to Sam.

Bloodied, bruised, and tingling pain shooting through her body, Serena fought on, killing one beast after another until she came to a strange creature that was quick on its feet and darted away from her anytime she swung at him.

"What the hell are you?" She panted, starting to weaken from the blood loss.

It hissed like a cat, as he scratched her right cheek, making it bleed. Serena stumbled back and landed hard on her ass. She swung her sword wildly in the air, forcing four monsters and that cat-like creature to back up.

Her arms were tiring, and she didn't know how she was going to get to Sam. Hopelessness entered her heart. She swallowed deeply, staring at Sam, she wanted to see his face, but with his hair in the way, it was impossible.

"I won't give up on you Sam," Serena vowed, she'd die saving him.

Her heart beat painfully against her ribs, the crystal wiggling around as if trying to free itself of its confines. Power jolted through her body, and her wounds healed.

"Moon Prism Power!" Serena raised the sword in the air, hoping her powers will allow her to turn into Sailor Moon.

A bright light flashed, the rags on her body changed into a white bodysuit with a blue skirt around her waist. Red boots adorn her legs, and her hair transformed into Ondongs, a tiara on her brow with white gloves covering hands.

She's Sailor Moon!

"I fight for Love and Justice, and in the name of the moon, I will destroy you!" Sailor Moon shouted; her dialogue changed a bit. She had the energy of ten scouts. Her sword took down the four monsters, and her tiara turned the cat-like creature into moon dust.

With the surge of power, Serena cleared the room of monsters in seconds. She made her way over to Sam, kneeling beside him. She grabbed his shoulder with her right hand.

"Are you okay?" Serena asked.

Clapping echoed throughout the room, Serena jerked her eyes away from Sam and jolted up to a beautiful woman with long black hair, ivory skin, abyss eyes. She wore a gown of gold, and Serena knew who she was.

"Eve," Serena seethed, "What have you done to Sam?"

"Nothing," Eve chuckled, waltzing into the room, "It seems you have killed my children, that's not very nice of you. A mother's job is to protect her children." Her voice hardens.

"Free Sam and I might let you live," Serena pointed her sword at Eve, standing up.

"Really, you think a puny little sword is going to kill me," Mirth played in her abyss eyes.

"Let's find out!" Serena shouted.

She was going to charge Eve, but a hand grabbed her leg, she looked down to see Sam staring up at her, but there's something wrong with his eyes, his sparkling green eyes are now dull and lifeless.

"Let me go!" Sailor Moon swatted at Sam's hand, but he was stronger than before.

Sam yanked both of her legs, and Serena couldn't help but fall.

"Sam?" The sword clattered to the side.

"He's not home at the moment," Eve laughed, "but he'll take care of you."

It was at this moment that Serena realized the chains were unlocked, and Sam was never in distress. He pounced on top of her, and his right hand tightened around her throat.

"Stop," She gasped, "Please."

His left hand curled into a fist, hitting her nose, breaking it, but Serena could see tears in his eyes. It gave Sailor Moon hope that Sam was still in there.

Serena didn't want to hurt Sam, but she didn't want to die either, so she did the only thing she could think of, Serena kneed Sam in the crotch. His hands soon fell away from her body, as he coughed, his hands going to his groin.

"Sorry, Sam!" Serena headbutted him, and he fell to the side. Serena rolled over and kicked Sam in the face, making sure he's passed out before slowly climbing onto her feet. Her legs shook from the weight, but she'd be damn to allow Eve to live.

"I'm going to kill you for what you did to Sam," Serena swore. "Moon Tiara Magic!"

She threw the tiara, but Eve caught it in her hand and tossed it to the side like a toy.

Sailor Moon slapped her hands together to call on her moon wand, but it didn't appear.

Suddenly, her sailor outfit dissolved into her rags; Serena panted for breath, she had used up too much energy.

"Not so powerful anymore," Eve winked at her.

"Still got enough energy to kill you," Serena hissed out, but she didn't believe her own words.

A green vortex overtook the room, grabbing the attention of both women, their fight no longer on their minds as the wind picked them up, throwing them around like ragdolls.

"What's going on?!" Serena screamed, but the wind stole her words.

A large body slammed into hers, and she grabbed onto Sam for dear life. The wind scooped up everything in the room and then disappeared.

Serena closed her eyes, holding onto Sam tight as they landed on the hard concrete, Serena on top of Sam.

"Serena?" Serena knew that voice but was afraid to open her eyes, there's no way she's back in Dean's world, and to hear Dean's voice, but once she heard her name again, she knew it was true.

Serena opened her eyes and pushed herself away from Sam, sitting beside him, staring at Dean and the girls. All the colour drained from her face as she stared at herself, the other Serena.

"This isn't your world, is it Dean?" Serena gulped out.

"No, we're in your world," Dean smiled.

Serena shuttered, her crystal humming in her chest, the crystal felt its other half, and Serena could see a small white line between her heart and Serena's brooch, linking them. Serena grabbed her breast, panting as another wave of pain seized her whole body.

Dean grabbed Serena's shoulders with both hands, "that crystal needs to come out. A corpore!" he said the magic word Rowena had given him, and Serena doubled over in pain as the crystal's forced from her body, it dripped with her blood, but it floated in front of Serena.

The girls stared in awe at the other Serena; their minds couldn't believe that there were two moon princesses.

All eyes were on Serena, as something black oozed out of Sam's ear and slithered away from his unconscious body, leaving black slime behind.

00000000000000000000000000000000000

"Where the hell am I?" Eve rubbed her head; she knew she was in another dimension, but it wasn't the world she wanted to rule. God was not in this world.

"Guess I can have a little fun," She stumbled onto her feet and waltzed into the park, grinning at a young woman with beautiful gray hair. "She'll do."
