Sailor Moon T (Topaz)

Part 2: What Has Happened to Serena?

As Serena slowly regains conciousness, she realizes someone is in the room with her.

"Well, you're awake now. That's good. I was afraid you'd never wake up, sister. Don't you remember? It's me, Topaz. I came for you at the hospital. Topaz whispered as pictures of five girls with tiaras on their
heads went through Serena's head. With them was a man with a mask over his eyes.

"Yes, you know them. They are evil. They killed our sister and our brothers." Topaz whispered softly as her brainwashing went to work.

A Dark Family insignia showed on Serena's forehead as her rage grew to even greater heights at the people she used to call friends.

*************************************************************************

At the temple, Darien was giving instructions.

"Raye, try to find out who took Serena and where they took her. Amy you try to find her, as well."

Moments later, Raye and Amy both gasp. They had found her, but not really.

"Darien!" Sunshine yells from outside. "Get out here! Now!"

They all rush outside and gasp at what they see.

Floating about eight feet in the air is Topaz and Serena. The thing is, Serena is dressed like Rini used to when she was Wicked Lady, and a Dark Family sign was on her forehead.

In a loud and clear voice, Serena calls out to them.

"You will all pay for what you have done."

Topaz and Serena hold hands, throwing energy down at them to open up a black hole on the ground.

Darien and the Scouts fall down the big black hold.

*************************************************************************

Sitting up, Lita rubs the back of her head.

"Is everyone okay? Darien? Mina? Raye? Amy? Sunshine?" Lita asks.

"Yes," came a chorus of four.

"Not for long," came a light musical voice. "As you can see, your Serena is now part of the Dark Moon Family, just like Diamond wanted."

Serena appears beside Topaz in a bright pink light.

"Diamond." Serena whispers, a gentle smile on her face. "Our brother was always nice to us, wasn't he?"

Raye looked at Sunshine and knew they were both wondering the same thing. Brother?!?!?

Suddenly, a dark flash lit Serena's eyes and her face twisted as if she were in pain.

"But you killed him. Now he's gone and you will pay!"

She sent two waves of black Power from her hands, blasting down at her former friends.

"Silence Wall," someone shouted from behind them and the blasts bounced off the force field.

"Saturn!" Darien called. "How did you get here?"

"Pluto let me in. Mercury, do a check on Serena. Try to see if she has the Silver Crystal, why she's like this and how to break the spell. I'll hold the shield as long as I can."

Mercury takes out her computer and visor and does a scan on Serena.

"It looks like Topaz has brainwashed her. But my computer doesn't tell how to stop her." Mercury called out to the others.

At that moment, Serena broke through the force field. The blasts hit in the center of the group and they scatter, some badly wounded.

"Solar Star Healing Activation!" Sunshine yells. A white healing light surrounds the Scouts who are hurt.

Suddenly, from under Darien's cape, a soft music starts to play, stopping Serena in her tracks.

The music starts breaking through the darkness clouding Serena's mind as Darien takes the Star Locket out from a special pocket in his cape.

"What is that?" Serena asks, as the sight of the locket and the music start to obliterate the darkness in her mind. She remembers more, but, just as she is about to reach for the locket, Topaz attacks Serena.

"Oh, no you don't," Sunshine shouts. "Solar Flare!"

The brilliant white light flashes and blinds Topaz.

At that moment, Serena had taken ahold of the locket.

"No!!!" Topaz screamed and threw another blast of power at Serena. This one hit her in the back and she screamed as the locket on her shirt, that held the Silver Crystal, exploded.

*************************************************************************

Serena tumbles into the darkness of her mind with her Star Locket hanging around her neck.

*************************************************************************

"Serena!!!" Darien yells while Topaz laughs wickedly above them.
