Chapter Three
---------------

" Your majesty!" Malachite said in a panic," you must do something! She's trying to kill them!"

Serenity calmly remained standing and watched.

Malachite stared in shock and turned to his fellow generals. They too were standing and watching what was going on but with very worried expressions.

I must do something, Malachite thought. But just as he was thinking, they were released of the light and floated down to the floor and collapsed. Each general ran to their love and the prince. Groaning, they slowly revived.

" Your highness?" Malachite queried.

" Uhhh... what happened?" Darien rubbed his head and groaned.

" I have done what I can for you for now." Pluto said when they all rose.

" What is it you have done, exactly?" questioned Nephlite.

" I have given each of you a power and transformation to be used against future evil," Pluto said," They are not to their full potential, but in time, you will learn how to put them to use."

" How do we use them?" Rei asked.

Pluto smiled," That, you will know when the time comes." And with that, she faded away.

Everyone, save Serenity, looked baffled.

" What can she mean?" Amy asked at last.

" Do we just wait for something to happen?" Lita asked.

" No! I refuse to wait!" Darien spoke with determination, as he got up and turned to Serenity," Your majesty, I will stay here until I can find a way to your daughter."

" As will we." All the princesses said at once.

Suddenly, a great light filled the room and threw tendrils around each of the girls and Darien.

Pluto's voice was heard," It is time."

Each of them were retracted into the great ball of light and vanished.

The generals, cat advisors, and Serenity all stared on in silence.

This time can you guys let me know what you think. Or should I just stop writing and lose my last drop of joy.
