Tuxedo mask and the scouts stood before
the NO TRESPASSING
sign. It was a ragedy park. You could
barely see no grass
for it was covered with garbage and dirt.

"How do we get in?" Mars asked glancing around
the park.
"What do you mean? Just jump over the fence to the
other sisde!" Jupiter replied.
"I"m afraid its not that easy Jupiter, there are
alarms on." Mercury explained.
"Can you find a way in?" Tuxedo Mask asked slowly.

"Luckily yes, but accordng to my data I have some
bad news." Everyone stared
at Mercury waiting for the 'Bad' news. "One person
can only go in at a time."
She finished. "No problem Ames, One of us will go
in first...you know like one after
the other." Venus suggested. "I guess that could
work-" "No." Tuxedo Mask said
blankly "I will go in, and no more. You guys can stay
out here. When you think
I need help, come in. But you have to be sure."

"But why Dar-" "Just do it....This is my battle, not
yours, just remember that."
The girls were speechless but at last one of the spoke
"Ok, Darien..Good-Luck."
Mars said.

Darien took a step closer to the wall. "Um, Darien don't
forget about the alar-"
"Don't worry about it Amy." Darien said with no emotion
in his voice. It scared Amy,
the way he acted; the way he held no emotion in his eyes,
or in his voice.
Then Darien did something to change her mind. "Thank you
guys, all
of you...if I don't come out alive...take care of Serena,
because I assure you she
WILL come out alive." He passed the girls a heart felt
smile.

Within a blink of an eye Darien, was at the fences top.
His dark, swift,
outline disappeared toward the center of the park.
"Good-luck, Darien,
Serena needs you." Amy mouthed sadly.

Serena gasped "Galaxia, the witch from the outer moon."

"Yor brains actually working..I would think by now
you would
be quite dumb-founded!" Galaxia exclaimed suprisingly.

Serena coudn't believe it! Luna had told her quite some
time ago about
Galaxia. She was the Moon Kingdom's worst enemy. In fact
Galaxia was
supposedly the one that destroyed the Silver Millenium.
The Negaverse had nothing to do with Galaxia. According to
Luna, Galaxia
was kicked out of the Negaverse, only because she betrayed
the force. She
was the most powerful follower out of the Negaverse though.

"Doing this will NEVER give you revenge toward the Negaverse!"
Serena
yelled, tugging at her arms.

Galaxia gave an evil laugh "You stupid girl!" She snarled
"I'm not doing this to
get revenge. I'm doing this to become the most
powerful being alive!"
"I'll beat you!"
"And how will you do that when you're all tied up?" Galaxia
asked
with a grin.
"I beat the Negaverse...and I WILL beet you Galaxia,
even if it kills me!"
"The Negaverse is a mouse compared to me" Her eyes moved
to the wall behind Serena, she stared unemotionally at it,
as though
remembering something incredible.

"They made the worst mistake when they kicked me off the
force,
they couldn't handle me being the strongest...even stronger
then
Queen Beryl." She said quietly.

Serena thought for a moment.
"Wait? Didn't they kick you out because you betrayed them?"
She
asked.
Galaxia laughed as if the blondes comment were a joke.
"That was their cover up, they wanted no one to know the
truth...."
a moment of silence came then Galaxia spoke again
"But I don't need them I have my own force, Negalia...much
stronger
then theirs would ever be!"
"Negalia?" Serena asked.

Galaxia turned to her, she began to stare daggers. "My, my,
aren't
we filled with questions, I'm afraid the answers will have
to wait..."
She grasped a shimmering object in her hand, then
slowly she released it. She lowered her hand to reveal a
levetating
crystal ball. And in the ball was an image of Darien getting
into
the dimensional rip.

"I guess this is my cue..." She turned to Serena "isn't it?"

"NO! Don't hurt him!" She cried. Galaxia laughed, and with
a snap of her fingers she was gone, leaving Serena to her
tears
and cries of pleading.

She tugged at her hands some more "No! Please no!" Her yell
turned to a low whisper "Turn around Darien, turn around
and
leave me here." The cold air came again, and again.

Serena took one last gasp before she fainted again.

---------------------------------------------------------------@-

Tuxedo Mask swiftly made his way through the maze that
had appeared as soon as he entered the dimensional rip.

He came to the end of the labrynth and followed his instinct.
He came to a intersecting area. Should I go left...or right,
he
thought.

Soon it came to him "Left." He said as he turned the corner.

He came to a brown door. "I know she's here." He said turning
the knob. He swung the door open revealing a thick mass of
fog. "What's this?" He asked covering his mouth.

"So you made it?" Said an evil women's voice. "So Serena's
friends have more guts then they seem to have." She teased.
"WHO ARE YOU!" No response.
"SHOW YOURSELF!" He called again.
Immediately the fog cleared and there in front of Darien
hung a limp
Serena. "Oh, my god" He muttered bringing his hand to his
side. He
made his way to the wall where Serena hung from.

Darien tried to free her from the handcuffs, but it was no
use.
His eyes grew glassy, and his throat tight as he tried to
release his love. He took a step back and examined Serena
from head to toe. She looked horrible. A set of twin roads
slid down each of her ckeeks, formed by the many
tears she cried. And her breathing was ragged.

"Oh, god Serena..." He murmmered as tears slid out
from under his mask.

"Need help?" Teased the voice again. "Here."
Serena's handcuff disappeared and the blonde fell to the
black floor.
Darien grasped her tightly. "Wake up Serena." He whispered
despretly. Slowly her eys slit open. ""R-run" She muttered.
"What?"
Darien asked outrageously. "R-run" She muttered again.
"NO!" Darien couldn't believe his ears.

"I-its a t-trap." She muttered again "R-run."
"Not without you Serena!" He cried. Darien slowly brung
Serena to
her feet. She tried to push him off her
but was to week to even move. She grunted as Darien released
her.
She didn't even have enough strength to stand.

Collasping, Darien caught her before Serena had hit the floor.
"G-go." She whispered.
"NO!" Tears trickled off his face onto hers.
He heaved Serena to her feet, put one of her arms around
his neck and
led her to the way he came in.

"Tisk, Tisk." scowled the voice. "Trying to take my hostage...
shame on
you Darien, shame shame."
"Screw You!"
"Well, since you MUST behave this way, I guess I'll have to
take away you're
prize."
"What?"
All of a sudden Serena's wait lifted. He turned to her face.
She was
crying as she stared down at herself. Darien looked down too,
Serena's body
was becoming transparent. "no." He whispered.

Serena brung her free hand to Darien's face, placed it on
his cheek.
She carresessed it softly then said. "I love you Darien."
Then she fully disappeared. Leaving Darien to himself.
