The Price of a Queen
Chapter1: Demando's Back
Serena slept in her bed peacefully, she rolls over saying Darien's name in a
dreamy tone. She sees herself embracing him,
"I love you Muffin," she says.
"I love you my Meatball-head," Darien says looking in her large blue eyes. Then
his image begins to change, his eyes turn blue, his hair turns white, and his
skin gets pail. He bends forward grabbing his head in his hands. Serena falls to
her knees and takes hold of his hands saying in concern,
"Darien are you all right?" He starts to moan, his hands grow ice cold. Serena
drops his hands in fright and moves back. He grabs her arm saying,
"You will be mine forever Neo-Queen Serenity." She looks back to see Demando
holding her arm and screams.
She bolts up in bed throwing Luna across the room. Luna asks what happened and
Serena tells her of her dream. Luna tells Serena that this dream could be from
someone from the Nega-verse or Nega-moon out to get her or it could just be a
dream about the events that happened a little time ago with the Nega-moon.
"Don't worry about it Serena it's probably nothing, "Luna said.
The next day Serena went to see Darien at his apartment. She told him about her
dream and said that she was worried about it. Darien told her,
"I doubt it is important, I mean you healed or killed anyone who is a threat to
the scouts and us. We haven't had any new threats sense you and Reni defeated
Wiseman. You also saw Demando die!"
"You talk as if he wasn't important, "Serena sputtered.
"Well, "Darien snapped, "He kidnapped you, held and tried to kiss you against
your will, tried to kidnap Reni, hypnotized you to say you love him, and he even
changed your clothes. And you believe that I would think highly about of him
sincerely think not!" Serena screamed,
"But he saved my life!"
"Well so did I! "Darien yelled back.
"Oh ya, well I saved the world twice, "Serena roared.
"Ya, but with somebody's help," Darien cried back at her. Serena's eyes started
to water, her nose got runny, she sniffed as she sat on the couch.
"I'm sorry Muffin" she said, "I guess it's because he saved my life and I never
thanked him."
"I'm sorry. I didn't now you felt that way about him. I love you Meatball-Head."
He looked at her with a grin. The grin quickly faded. He heard a low voice, one
that was unheard by Serena. The voice kept telling him to go to Black Lady, his
true love. The voice was that of Wiseman's. The message continued. Darien
covered his ears and looked at Serena. She had a worried look on her face. He
put his head down. His eyes caught a glimpse of the crystal and it was glowing.
Serena looked down, saw the crystal's glow and stepped back. The light shot out
and engulfed Darien. The light was so bright that Serena had to look away. When
she looked back she saw Darien in his armor. He was Prince Darien. He called out
to her
"Serena what's happening?"
As he was saying this, Reni in the future was running around in the palace with
King Darien watching her. He could feel his past self in trouble and fell to the
ground. Reni came running up to him,
"Daddy what's wrong?"
"I...I don't know." His head fell to the ground, "Go get your m...mother." Reni
ran to her mother.
"Mommy Mommy, Daddy's hurt!" They both ran to him.
"Darien are you all right? Talk to me. Darien?" Serena said shaking him
furiously.
"I think I'll be O.K. I fear something is happening to Darien in the past.
Serena might be next."
Right after he said this Serena in the past walked up to Darien to see if he was
O.K. He was on the ground beside the couch covering his ears. He was mumbling
something to himself.
"No! ... can't be! Black Lady and I...Serena's not...she lied...I love...NOOO!"
Serena started to shake him trying to snap him out of his trance but with no
luck. The crystal began to glow again but this time the light engulfed Serena.
She thought that she would transform into Princess Serena or Neo-Queen Serenity.
When the light faded she was still in her normal clothes. So she started to walk
towards Darien. The lights then went out. She continued walking cautiously
towards the couch where Darien once occupied. In his place was another man. The
unknown man snapped his fingers and the lights came on. Serena screamed and
stepped back. She hit her foot and fell to the ground. There sitting on the
couch was Demando.
"Surprised to see me my dear?" He asked her. All Serena could do was stare into
his cold blue eyes with hers opened wide. She managed to scramble up. A cold
wind rushed through the apartment. Demando grabbed her hands and held them to
his face. Serena still was frozen. Demando put her hands together and put his
hands around hers.
"You are mine Neo-Queen Serenity." After he said this he released a short blast
of Dark Power into her. Serena closed her eyes and said,
"It's all happening again." She fell forward into Demando's arms. He laid her
limp body on the ground looking at her with loving eyes.
In the future Neo-Queen Serenity was helping Darien up. She felt her legs go
limp and fell to the ground. She rolled over and Darien helped her up. When she
was standing she screamed,
"Oh my god it's Demando he he's got her." She started to run towards Reni but
before she got to her a whirlwind came and swept Reni away. Darien asked her
what was happening. She told him,
"It's Wiseman he's in Sailor Moon's crystal. He brought Rubius and Demando back
to life, made the four sisters evil, he plans on making Darien your future self
evil again and turn Reni into Black Lady. Each sister will capture a scout,
Rubius will capture Luna and Artemis, and Darien will get Sailor Moon. Wiseman
has made it so Darien and Black Lady will be in love. Demando plans to use this
to make Sailor Moon love him. He also plans to wed her and change the future so
he will be king and have her to love him."
Serena came to in the past and rolled over to see Demando standing over her. He
bent down grabbed her ankles with his cold hands and attached a chain to each.
He walked around to her head and bent down. He attached chains to both of her
wrists. She continuously tried to break free but she got nowhere. He put his
face infront of hers. Serena could feel his cold breath on her cheek. He said to
her
"You are mine." He moves his face closer, and goes to kiss her but Serena spat
in his face. He gets up, wiped his face with the back of his hand, and tells
her,
"You shouldn't have done that." Serena braced herself for an attack but nothing
happened. She opened her eyes and saw Demando looking at her.
When she wasn't expecting it he took hold of the chains attached to her ankles
and dragged her to the kitchen. He tied her chains around the refrigerator and
grabbed an apple off the counter. Serena yelled,
"Let me go you monster. You can't take me. The scouts will save...mmm." Her
speech was cut short as Demando shoved the apple in her mouth.
He said,
"As nice as it is to hear your voice I have to explain what I am doing here.
Well lets see where should I start? I guess I should tell you why I am alive. I
was killed when I saved you from Wiseman as you know. But since he killed me he
could bring me back so here I am. Oh if your wondering where Darien is he's gone
to see Reni soon to be Black Lady. Well I guess its time to get you home I don't
want you to meet any other boys on your way home, cause if you did I would have
to kill them and I'm not one who likes to kill people."
After he was done he leaned over to her face, grabbed the apple with his teeth
and starts to chomp away. The chains vanish. Serena rubs her wrists when his
back is turned she bolts for the door. When she is almost at the door Demando
teleports infront her and she comes to a screeching halt seconds before she
would smash into him. Demando told her,
"Escape is not possible, so you have to do what I say." He then attaches an
invisible chain to her neck.
"I don't want anything funny or else" He pulled the chain choking her it also
sucked away some of her energy. He walked towards the door, Serena following
helplessly.
When they were gone a man materialized in Darien's apartment. He had golden
colored hair and stormy blue eyes. He wore a brilliant white toga outlined in
gold, the belt was also gold. On the belt was a symbol encrusted in it with
diamonds of the sun overlapping the Earth. His feet where covered by a pair of
black Roman sandals. In his hand was a golden bow and around his shoulder was a
quiver full of gold arrows. He gasped in disbelief,
"The Moon Princess?"
Serena and Demando walked down the street past the temple where the other scouts
were waiting for her. Rei caught a glimpse of her meatballs and yelled out her
name. Demando glared at her with a fierce look on his face.
"They're waiting for me. We were suppose to practice tonight." Serena told him.
Up at the temple Rei says,
"What's wrong with her couldn't she hear me?"
"Well who's that with her, Darien?" Lita asked
"Actually it doesn't really look like him." Ami answered. Mina squints trying to
see them better,
"Don't tell me she has another boyfriend."
"Lets go down, see who that is and what she's up to." Luna suggested. So they
walked down the steps towards the pair. Demando started to walk off Serena went
with him.
Rei asked fuming,
"What's that clutz doing?" They followed Serena and the mysterious man with her.
Serena stopped and looked back at the scouts. Demando yanked the chain. Serena
started to choke then the chain sucked away some of her energy. She fell to the
ground grabbing her neck. The scouts saw this and transformed.
During their transformation Demando picked Serena up and continued walking,
paying no attention to the scouts. Serena gained some strength and tried to
transform but she didn't have enough energy to be Sailor Moon. The scouts called
him to stop. He turned around to face them. When Sailor Mars saw who it was she
said in disbelief,
"What the...Demando?"
"Yes, Wiseman revived Rubius and I and healed the four sisters. They will come
for you, but I am here for her." He jerked the chain hard which sucked a great
deal of Serena's energy from her. She was brought down to the ground
unconscious. Demando used his dark power to raise her up in the air. His dark
moon sign changed to a third eye and zapped her with images of Darien and Black
Lady together and him and herself together. Demando told the scouts,
"I will be back for her," and he disappeared.
Serena woke up in Rei's bed with tears in her eyes. She turned to Luna and asked
her,
"What's happening?" But Luna said she had no idea. In an alley the mysterious
man appeared, his blue eyes flashed as he said,
"The Sailor Scouts and the Moon Princess are alive, but if they are here then
where is Prince Darien?" Then he disappeared into the night.
