"You underestimated us!" Jupiter managed to call.
"What still breathing?" Serena sounded amused.
"JUPITER THUNDER CLAP CRASH!!" Serena held out her staff, the
lightning bounced off without harming her. Serena prepared to attack again
'Come on, Tux, you need to do it!' Tux told himself.
'But it's Serena!'
'No, it's not!' he assured himself. 'If you don't she'll--' Tux
didn't want to think about it.
Serena was about to fire when a rose came at her. She stopped and
plucked it right out of the air. She brought it to her nose and sniffed.
"Aww, how sweet," She caressed the soft petals.
'How did she do that?' Tux was baffled, his jaw hung to the floor.
"How did she do that?" Mars gasped. "Is that possible?"
Tux couldn't say a thing. He stood there shaking his head in
disbelief. He watched her bite her lip, he found it sexy. Even evil, she
was still so sexy.
The soft look she wore hardened. She held the rose away from her
and slowly let go. It stayed in the air for a moment then vanished.
"I'll have to put it in some water," she voice dripped with venom.
"Now where were we? Oh yes.." The sky darkened again and Tux could feel
electricity in the air.
'Don't do it, Serena, please' his mind begged silently.
"Serena, please, we can help you" Mars called. "We can help you
fix this."
"Serena, think, we're not going to fight you." Mercury cried.
"Well then that should make my job much easier. But then… what
would the fun be in that? Hmmmmm... Oh well..." she shrugged her
shoulders comically and continued with the attack.
The scouts jumped out of the way, but we're not prepared for a
second immediate attack. They were all slammed into the ground or wall or
whatever hard that the energy pushed them into.
"Darling," a voice said, "having fun?" Arms encircled her waist.
Tux couldn't believe his eyes when her saw her flinch at Rubeus's touch.
This he knew he saw.
"Of course," she reached back and touched his face as he kissed her
neck. The Crystal on her staff stopped glowing and the sky cleared.
They're lips met. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Venus gag.
'So this was the way Serena must have felt when I was with Beryl..'
"What about them?" Serena asked pulling away.
"Hmmmmm...?" Rubeus murmured.
"Them, those silly sailor tramps!"
"Hey!" Venus protested.
"We have to get back , the wise man wants to see us," Rubeus told her.
"The Wiseman?" she sounded disgusted. She pouted, "But I wanted to
finish off the sailor soldiers.."
"You can finish them off later."
"Oh, OK.. " The couple vanished.
"Can you fix it?" Mina asked over Amy's shoulder. They were
looking at Amy's broken computer.
"I don't know..."
"Well, she can't very well fix it with you standing over her like
that." Lita came over and pulled Mina onto Raye's bed.
The group had just finished filling Luna and Artimis in about "the
recent events." It was near sunrise and they didn't have a clue what to do
next.
Amy heaved a sigh of frustration: "I don't know what to do!" The
girl looked close to tears. "I know that when I scanned her there wasn't
any negative energy or at least not enough for my computer to detect. And
even then it shouldn't have effected her!"
"It's OK Amy, maybe Rubeus got to her after you scanned her," Lita said.
"But she was acting weird that first day," Mina put in curiously.
"Maybe it was hidden of locked in some way so your computer couldn't detect
it."
"That's a good reason, but I don't think it's possible," Artimis stated.
"Well at least we know what wrong with her now," Raye said. "It
was so weird, her being all withdrawn an' stuff..."
"Yes but this new Serena doesn't sound any better." Luna put in.
"You're telling' me!" she replied flatly.
"Lita, one question.." Amy's voice was barely audible. "How could
you attack her, even is she was evil?"
Lita bowed her head: "I don't know, I just don't know.."
"Well you girls are going to have to get used to it," Artimis said.
"To get her back, you'll have to weaken her to get her to... to...
Where's the Silver Crystal?"
Everyone looked at everyone else bug eyed.
"The Silver Crystal..."
"Mina, Mina!!" Renee called, running up to the girl. "What
happened last night? Serena never came home! Not that that's something
new," She added lightly.
"Renee, maybe you better come to Raye's with me," the pink hared
girl nodded. "I'm waiting for Amy and Lita and when we get to Raye's, well
fill you in." Renee looked at her friend concerned but said nothing.
Just then Lita walked up, a sad, worn look on her face.
"Where's Amy?" Mina asked.
"She'll be along in a minute."
The four stood in silence until Amy arrived.
'Something really bad must have happened. Something's definitely
gone wrong.' Renee said to herself. 'Is it Serena?' but still Renee kept
her thoughts to herself as the group walked quietly.
They reached Raye's, where they found three gloomy souls lay about.
Renee took a deep shuddering breath, preparing herself for bad news, very
bad news. Raye, Luna, Artimis barley stirred as the four girls came into
the room. At first nobody said a word. Renee broke the silence, with a
blunt, straight forward question that made them all wince:
"What happened to Serena?"
Silence...
"That bad, hun?" she sat down next to Amy and felt her shiver.
She looked over at her friend to find her hunched over, her face hidden
behind one hand, her smashed mini computer in the other. Renee took it
gently. She turned it over and over in her small hands.
"Serena did this?" she dreaded hearing the details. "I knew she
was acting weird, but this... Far out..."
"Where's Serena? What happened to her? What have you done to her?"
an angry voice cried from the doorway.
"Scott!" Amy exclaimed jumping up. (Don't ask how he got there!)
"We didn't do anything," a new voice said from behind Scott. It
was barely audible, bit all heard.
"Darien!"
"Come in," Raye sighed as the two new comers joined the mourners.
Two weeks went by with no sign of the new and not so improved
Serena, although the four weird sisters continued to torment to Sailor
Scouts. Miraculously the Scouts won the battles with barley any injury,
save the broken hearts they all already suffered from. All who knew Serena
mourned her.
Darien had trouble with school and work. Scott disappeared from the
face of the earth, for all we know, anyway. All the girls' grades dropped.
And Luna and Artimis, searched unsuccessfully for their leader.
