The Price of a Queen
Chapter3: Resurfacing Evil
The three remaining scouts searched for Luna and Artemis. They found them
cuddled up on Rei's bed.
"AAAWWW isn't that cute. Soon we'll have a kitten to find a home for. Could you
take it Rei?" Venus said with a smile on her face.
"I don't think my grampa would let me keep a kitten." Mars responded. Artemis
lifted his head and said fuming,
"I don't think so Mina!"
"Huh? What's happening?" came from Luna. Sailor Moon picked Luna up and told
her,
"It's Wiseman. He revived Rubius and..." She struggled with the name.
"D-Demando, he changed the four sisters evil again. He plans to revert Reni to
Black Lady and make Darien evil again."
"Birdy and Prisma captured Ami and Lita and took them somewhere." Venus said.
"We have to rescue them!" Mars suggested in her orderly manner.
"But Prisma and Birdy were more powerful then ever. We don't know where Lita and
Ami are being held captive. We don't even know if they are in this time let
alone this city." Venus was saying and looked at Serena,
"I know you don't like to think about it. But when Demando took you from the
control room, do you remember where he took you?" Serena shivered and closed her
eyes. A couple seconds later Rei was about to tell Serena to spill already when
Serena sputtered out with her eyes still shut,
"The Citadel. He took me to the Dark Moon Citadel. On the outskirts of Crystal
Tokyo." She ran out of Rei's room the tears streaming down her face.
Luna asked the group,
"Do you think we should go after her?"
"No, I think she needs some time alone. This is the first time she ever said
anything about her incidents with Demando." Venus spoke up. "She always kept it
to herself and none of us asked her about it so we all figured everything was
fine. But if you imagine what she must have gone through it's amazing she
remained this solid for so long. I mean just think, you're in a place unknown to
you, you just found out your future, a man you never met kidnaps you and uses
dark power to hold you in place so he can kiss you against your will. We don't
know what else he did to her or made her do."
"You know I never thought about it in that sort of way." Rei said.
Outside Serena was sitting on a bench, still crying. She closed her eyes. In her
mind she relived the events with Demando. Him holding her, hypnotizing her, and
dying for her. Suddenly she heard a voice. She opened her eyes, but no one was
there. The voice called to her, it was a deep, evil voice, it was calling her
Neo-Queen Serenity. Serena looked around and asked,
"Who's there?" Her only response was,
"Neo-Queen Serenity..." She transformed. The voice was still there she thought
it was Demando, but his voice was different. She knew his voice like she knew
Darien's.
This frightened her. Why would she know Demando's voice so well? She figured
that you knew the voice of love and of fear. She knew Darien's voice, Queen
Beryl's, Demando's, and Wiseman's voices. That was it. Wiseman was the one who
was talking to her. But what was he doing talking to her? He was destroyed. But
Demando said that Wiseman revived Rubius and himself.
Thinking about being in Darien's apartment alone with Demando made her shudder.
The thing about Demando was he was a prince. He had manners and she was afraid
to admit it but he wasn't that bad looking, but he still discussed her. The
reason for this was he forced his love on her. He used his power, his immense
powers, to capture her. The thing she didn't understand was, he was right there
and she was right there. He could have done anything to her but he didn't. She
was helpless, he could have kissed her or worse, but he didn't. No one but
Darien knew she was there, and he was taken away. She was all alone with
Demando, in the deserted apartment, she was restrained, but nothing happened.
All of a sudden Rubius appeared behind her and grabbed her. Sailor Moon tried to
break free but she couldn't. Rubius laughed. Demando appeared right infront of
her. Then Darien and Reni appeared. They were behind a shield. Darien was
hitting it with his fists. Reni was yelling. She screamed Serena's name. This
made Darien stop. He looked up to see Sailor Moon. He told Demando and Rubius to
let her go. They just laughed. Demando came up to the shield. He told Darien,
"Don't worry I'll take good care of her." Darien unsheathed his sword and said,
"You won't get the chance," and he charged the shield. Demando laughed as Darien
was thrown off the shield.
Sailor Moon was squirming and she stepped on Rubius' foot. He let her go. Sailor
Moon, who was surprised at being freed, fell flat on the pavement. Rubius
regained his composer. He stepped up to Sailor Moon.
"You'll pay for that you little brat!" He raised his hand to slap Sailor Moon.
Just as he brought it down Demando stepped out infront of her and grabbed his
hand.
"I wouldn't treat a lady like that."
Sailor Moon got up and ran to the shield. She tried her scepter on it but it
didn't work. She started to pound on the shield. Darien was pounding on the
other side. Sailor Moon was so occupied on freeing Darien she didn't notice
Demando as he came up to her. He grabbed her hands.
"Let me go," she screamed squirming in his hold.
A large, purple monster, with eight tentacles appeared infront of Demando.
"Hush Serena." he said and handed her to the monster. "Keep her still Octy."
Demando told the monster.
"Demando, please let them go. You don't want them." He stopped and turned around
to face her.
"Oh dear Serena, their downfall is not for me alone, Wiseman wishes vengeance. I
have little quarrel with the child, but she is the results of yours and Darien's
love, and Black Lady is a useful asset to me. And Darien, well if it was not for
him you would be mine. Anyways hasn't he hurt you enough? You don't deserve such
treatment. You need a real prince." He finished with a smile and walked up to
her and stroked her cheek. She tried to move away but Octy held her in place.
"Demando can't you tell she has no feelings for you?" Darien shot out. Demando
stiffened and whipped around to face his rival. Darien smiled,
"You have to force your affections on her, that is not love."
"Oh yes Darien, and you speak so high of your love. Do you really think she'll
keep coming back to you? I truly love Serena and I would never hurt her."
"Daddy I'm scared." Reni said tugging on his pant leg. Darien looked down to
Reni, the to Sailor Moon struggling, then back to Demando,
"What do you want Demando?" He asked.
"Well you know Serena is my true desire, but I shall claim her at a later time.
I need not you and the child in my way," He took out the Black Crystal, "Now,
both of you return to the Dark Side!" Two black snakes of energy shot out
towards them. The blasts penetrated the force field and struck Darien and Reni
both in the chest and knocked them to the ground. They started to thrash around
then lay still.
"NO!" Sailor Moon screamed and broke the hold. She ran to the sprawled out forms
and started to shake Darien. His eyes's opened and were small black abysses.
"D-Darien?" Sailor Moon asked. Prince Darien unsheathes his sword and tells
Sailor Moon to back away from Black Lady.
"Black Lady?" Sailor Moon said and looked to Reni, indeed Black Lady began to
form. Reni's pigtails grew longer her outfit changed to it's long black dress
with the slits up the sides and she opened her eyes. Darien helped her stand.
"Back away Sailor Moon." She warned menacingly. Sailor Moon just stood there
dumbfounded. Prince Darien moved to strike her and Demando calls him to stop.
Darien looks up and nods, mumbling,
"Yes my prince." Then lowered his sword. Sailor Moon looked back and forth, then
looked at Demando and asked,
"Demando, what have your done?"
