Chapter 11: A New Scout!

Serena trodded down the street, peering into the darkness, her flashlight giving off a dim glow. She checked her watch, pushing the pink button.

"Hey Rei," Serena said when Rei's face appeared on the communicator.

"No, Sere. For the tenth time, we have not located Eve. Stop calling us!" Rei snapped.

The screen turned black, and Serena grumbled as she continued her trek.

"We have to find Eve soon. I don't know how long Rini will last," Serena choked on her words, unshed tears hiding behind her eyelids.

Thunder and lightning lit up the sky, freezing Serena to the spot. Small droplets of rain tousled her hair. A shiver ran up Serena's spine as a memory of being vomited out of the earth; all those lifetimes ago came rushing back to her.

"I hate thunder and lightning!" Serena cursed the sky.

Just as those words left her mouth, four bolts of lightning hit the earth in front of her. Its brightness blinded her for a moment, and she shielded her eyes with her right arm. But the lightning didn't disappear when it hit the ground. No, it continued to glow.

"Weird," Serena gulped.

Five figures started to form before her eyes, walking out of the lightning as if they were made from it.

Serena grabbed her brooch, ready to call on her powers when she stopped, and her tongue dried in her mouth. Her eyes bulged at sight.

From the first bolt, a woman with long white hair in two perfectly shaped odango's, with a crown nestled between her hair, she was wearing royal white garbs of Neo-Queen Serenity, and her companion wearing a lavender Tuxedo with a cape; King Endymion. From the second bolt, a young woman with golden hair again in odango's, piercing blue eyes and a white dress with a golden bust and a small crown adorned her head. Princess Serenity.

Out of the third bolt, a woman of beauty no longer of this world, platinum hair with the family hairdo, a snow-white dress adorned her small frame; her name not spoken for centuries. Queen Serenity.

And the final bolt of lightning a small figure, no older than nine, with bright pink hair in four coned shaped odango's with pigtails that curled at the end and hazel eyes. A snub of a nose high in the air and a frown marred her cherub face. A white and blue school uniform covered her small stature with red sandals on her feet. Serena didn't recognize the child.

"Your majesties!" Serena dropped to one knee; her head bowed in respect.

Not a word was spoken, and for a moment, Serena thought she had dreamed them up, but the small hand on her head made her look up into the eyes of Queen Serenity. Serena was taken by surprise as the Queen embraced her in a hug.

"My Queen, I'm not your Serena," Serena wanted to jerk from her arms and take her to her daughter, but she was afraid to move.

"I know, but you are still my daughter," tears wetted Serena's cheeks.

"How are you guys here?" Serena returned the hug, but her eyes met those of Neo-Queen Serenity.

"The gap in time and space. All the worlds are crumbling. Our timelines no longer exist," Neo-Queen Serenity answered.

Serena's mouth gaped open at her words.

"We travelled here because this is the only stable timeline, for now," King Endymion finished his wife's explanation.

Serena pulled away from her mother, "you too?" she asked.

"Yes," Queen Serenity confirmed.

"I hate to break up this family reunion, but what the heck is going on here?" the pink hair girl shouted, her hands raised in the air. It reminded Serena of Dean when he would have one of his fits.

"Who are you?" All eyes turned to the girl.

"I'm Kousagi," she introduced herself, "And my world is gone, so are my sister and parents. My brooch brought me here for a reason."

Serena's eyes narrowed in on the brooch that looked just like hers.

"Are you a sailor scout?" Serena slowly got to her feet, her arms still holding on to her mother.

"Yes, I am Sailor Rabbit," Kousagi proudly announced.

Serena shook her head at the weird scout name but stepped away from Queen Serenity and approached the child.

"This fight is not for children. I will send you to Serena and Darien. You'll be safe there." Serena grabbed the child's hand, but Kousagi was quick as her namesake and hopped away from Serena.

"No, I am going to save my family and friends, with or without you!" she took off running into the darkness.

Serena wanted to stop her, but Neo-Queen Serenity's hand on her shoulder halted her movement.

"Let the child go, she'll be fine," the wise Neo-Queen said softly.

"It's not safe," Serena warned, "Eve is here, and this is her doing. Your worlds are gone because of her."

Neo-Queen Serenity just smiled at Serena, her eyes holding the secrets of the universe.

"She will be there when its time," Neo-Queen Serenity finally spoke.

For some reason, her words calmed Serena, and she turned back to the royal family.

"Will you help us fight?" Serena voiced, with hope shining in her eyes.

"No, this is not our fight, but we can give you our powers. Take off your brooch." Queen Serenity demanded with her soft voice.

Serena obeyed her mother and took off her brooch and held it out to them. All four of the royals placed the tip of their fingers on her brooch.

Her brooch hummed as energy zapped the crystal within. The lid on the brooch disappeared; the crystal floated out of its casing, rising in the air, glowing brighter by the second.

All too soon, the light vanished, and the crystal fell into its place inside the locket. Power zipped up Serena's arm, and she felt it pulse as one with her heart.

"This will be the last time you will ever be Sailor Moon," Princess Serenity warned, "make it count."

Serena gulped, nodding at her words, her tongue too stunned to speak.

"Stupid night, no lights," Bobby grumbled as his flashlight flickered, and it was hard to see up ahead.

He fiddled with his communicator watch, "why pink?"

He grumbled some more, as the chill of the night seeped into his bones, but then his footfalls faltered, as he felt more than a chill. There was something a mile or so ahead that made his heartbeat painfully in his chest and sweat broke out on his brow.

He bit the inside of his cheek as he twitched the watch, pushing three buttons before Ami's blue hair graced the screen.

"What is it?" Ami's worried voice came over the speaker.

"I sense a…" Bobby's voice trailed off, "God damn it! It doesn't feel right," he didn't know how to explain it to the girl.

"You feel an evil energy?" Ami supplied.

"I guess?" Bobby shrugged his shoulders.

"Where are you?" Ami asked.

"How the hell should I know. I just popped in like an hour ago, you idjit," Bobby huffed, goosebumps crawled up his arms, and he just wanted to run.

"No problem. Stay there, and we will have your coordinates in a minute," Ami said sweetly, smiling at Bobby before turning the communicator off.

Ami turned to the controller and pressed a few buttons, before taking off her watch and placing it in a little hole on the side.

The computer buzzed to life as the map of Tokyo flashed on the screen. There was a red button that kept blinking on the north-east side of the city, at the mall.

"Guess the bad guys needed new outfits?" Mina joked, pointing out that the evil aura was in the mall parking lot.

"Mina!" everyone groaned, sweat drops appearing over their heads.

Rei got on her communicator and called everyone and sent them the coordinates.

"Let's transform. Mars Power MakeUp!"

"Mercury Power MakeUp!"

"Jupiter Power MakeUp!"

"Venus Power MakeUp!"

The scouts ran from the control room, ready for what might be their last and greatest battle.

"Be safe guys," all the girls' thoughts went to Serena, Darien and Rini, praying for their safety.

Serena could feel them transform, and their thoughts touched her mind, she smiled sadly.

"I have to go to them," Serena's torn, she wanted to help her friends, but she didn't want to leave her daughter.

"It's okay, Serena, go to them. I will watch Rini," Darien spoke softly.

Guilt knotted her stomach, her eyes memorizing every inch of Rini's face, from her tiny nose to her pink lips and soft chin.

"But what if she wakes up and I'm not here," Serena cried.

"But, we will be here," a new voice entered the room.

Both Serena and Darien shot their heads up to see their future selves, and right behind them Princess Serenity and Queen Serenity.

"Mom?!" Serena stumbled to her feet and raced for the door, hugging her mother tight.

Neo-Queen Serenity scurried into the room with her husband, and they both placed a tentative hand on Rini's body.

"She's cold," Neo-Queen Serenity sighed, tears glistening down her cheeks.

"But she's breathing," King Endymion assured his wife, "and Serena will save her."

"I'm sorry," Serena turned to face her future-self, "it's all my fault. I didn't protect Rini."

"No, my sweet dear, you did your best," Neo-Queen Serenity sighed softly.

"Go to Serena and the girls. They will need you," Princess Serenity smiled at Serena.

"But, before you go," Princess and Queen Serenity placed their hands on her brooch, giving it a powerful jolt. "We cannot help you fight, but this shall give you a boost," Princess Serenity informed.

With tears in her eyes, Serena raced from the room, getting the coordinates from her watch, "I'm coming, guys!"

"Moon Prism Power MakeUp!"

"The waves have changed, and the sea is in turmoil," Michiru glanced at her mirror, a vortex of evil swirling within.

"The winds have died, it's time," Haruka announced. "The witch has to die."

"And what about Mistress Nine, and Sailor Saturn?" Michiru questioned.

"The Sailor Scout of death, she must not awaken or else she will end all the worlds. We will destroy both Mistress Nine and Sailor Saturn, but we'll leave Eve to the scouts," Haruka instructed, "we only have one chance, and we better make it count."

"Neptune Power MakeUp!"

"Uranus Power MakeUp!"

A glow of yellow and aqua enveloped the room, and the women disappeared; in their place, stood two guardians of the outer planets, ready to save the world.

They shot out of the room, heading towards the mall, where they felt the evil aura.
