Chapter 2. the new enemy

Darian told everyone to stay where they were as darian approached a sleeping serene. As darian touched serene's shoulder, he began to have a premonition. It was of her and Serena, but as neo queen serenity. Rini, but older, with Helios, but older next to her looking down upon serene. "don't worry mum... I'll won't let nothing happen to grandpa nor their world. I will protect ours. I promise you." Serene smiled. "I love you serene." Rini said as she gave serene a hug. "Don't tell anyone about you. They'll be asking to many questions... and talk normal kiddo." Helios said smiling again. "Dad... I will. And I won't tell no one. Be back soon." Serene said in another, regular voice that darian knew.

"Plus, serene... we are going to have to go into your dream world to survive... take care see you soon." Helios added. "Alright dad." Serene said holding a key. "now you take care of that, I used that when I was little." Rini said smiling. "Don't worry mom. Bye." Serene said. She was gone. Darian thoughts stopped as he shook it off. "Serene." He whispered. "Don't worry mom..." serene muttered. "Serene!" darian said nudging her. serene finally woke up. "Wha?" serene asked looking around. "What are you doing here? Why aren't you at home?" darian asked. "Well... uh... you see... er... my...uh... hm... I'm not staying anywhere." Serene said finally. "Weird. What was that I just had?" darian thought. "And where's sailor z?" he asked himself. "Why are you here?" serene asked realizing she's not sailor z.

"Waiting for a friend." Darian replied sitting next to her. "Oh. Well, do you want me to leave? I need to go find a place to say at the uh... what do you call it, the shelter place anyways. But it is nice out here. So I chose here. But I still can eave. If you want some privacy or something." Serene said nervously. "You aren't staying anywhere? Then you shall stay with me. At least till you find somewhere. I have a open room in my apartment that's not rented, so you can stay there for awhile. it's late anyways, they're probably asleep." darian explained. "Yea. Ok." Serene replied. "Be back." Darian said seeing Serena's face from the distance. Darian walked over to the gang. "Well? why is she here?" raye asked. "She... she has no where to stay. So I said she can stay at my place till it's rented." Darian replied.

"Weird. So where is she Serena?" raye asked. "Maybe she's not showing her self in front of serene. But how does she know who we are? We have the disadvantage..." Serena explained. "Yea. We do." Mina thought. "But she does have a point. We'll just have to ask her next time in battle." Lita explained. "yea. Well I better get her to the house, it's pretty chilly." Darian noticed. "Yea." Serena thought looking at Serene who was slowly falling asleep again. "She's just like you Serena!" raye shouted. "What do you mean by that?" Serena asked. Darian shook his head and walked over to serene. He picked her up and walked back over to the gang. "Guess I'll see you later. Call me if anything happens." Darian said walking to the car. "Darian! Wait for meeeee!" Serena called as she ran up to him. Rini ran to the other side as Serena and her began to fight about not coming. "Shhh! You'll wake her!" darian explained. they instantly hushed.

"Darian... what if she never shows up again." Serena asked in the car. Rini was with the sleeping serene in the back seat. Rini was looking at serene with interest. "She looks so familiar." She thought looking at her pigtails. "sailor z told me about the new enemy. He's taking souls and is named prelude." Serena said smiling. "You remembered." Serene moaned as she opened her eyes. "Serene!" darian shouted as he nearly rammed into a car. "Whoa!" Serena screamed as she lunged for darian's arm. "Remembered what?" rini asked. "Huh? Nothing... I-uh... you made ME remember something." Serene lied. "What?" Serena asked. "About prelude... it's a song my old friend use to sing to me. Prelude and fugue. I heard you say that, and remembered. That's all. Where am I?" serene asked looking around.

"You... you didn't hear anything else I said?" Serena asked. "No. but why were you talking about prelude?" serene asked. "Well, uh... Michelle played that song one time. our friend. And I told darian I liked it." Serena lied. "oh." Serene replied. "Where am I?" she asked again. "On our way to my place, where you can stay." Darian said. "right. Thanks again." Serene said smiling. "No problem." Darian replied as the car stopped. "night you guys." Darian said. "Night. Love you." Serena said smiling as she gave darian a kiss on the cheek getting out. Rini got out as well. "Bye. See you tomorrow at school." Serena said as she and rini walked to the house. "They are nice." Serene said smiling. "Wanna sit up here?" darian asked. "Sure." Serene said getting to the front. "So. Where do you live?" serene asked making a conversation. "Down here." Darian said driving again. "Cool." Serene said looking around.

"So. Where do you come from?" darian asked. "Uh... on the other side of Tokyo." Serene lied. "This whole thing is a lie between us." Serene thought. "They are lying to me, and I lie to them. So is it really lying? No. it cancels each other out. It has to." Serene thought. They finally made it to darian's house as he showed her the room. Serene said good night and laid down on the bed. "Now if I didn't know darian, or his wife or daughter... I would never of let him take me home. Never talk to strangers." Serene joked as she went to bed. The next morning, serene got up and went to school. It was 7:58 AM so darian drove her to school. On the way, a sailor scout flew in front of darian driving. Luckily, he stopped. It was sailor Jupiter.

Darian looked at the enemy. The scouts and the enemy were in a little lot close to the school. The enemy was green with a blue frizzy hair and 5 eyes. "Stay here. I gotta see if she's ok." Darian said getting out of the car. "Jupiter. You alright?" darian asked helping her up. "Yea. He's strong darian. I don't know if we can defeat him. Why is your other door opened?" Jupiter asked looking at his car. "Serene." Darian said. "She's not here." He added. "Well. we'll have to look for her later, we need you." Jupiter said. "Right." Darian looked around and then transformed in front of Jupiter as they both ran to help the other scouts. But as sailor moon was blasted to a wall, a blast came from a tree and hit the enemy. The scouts all looked up. It was sailor z. "Let that girl's soul go!" she shouted. The creature was about to devour another soul, but tuxedo mask grabbed it and held it tightly. It was the shape of a sphere that was foggy inside.

"Hey! Gimme that BACK!" the creature roared. It threw a arm at tux, but he dodged it. "Z stream flare!" sailor z screamed as a stream of fire circling moons shot out at the enemy. "Sailor moon! Now!" sailor z shouted. Sailor moon nodded and turned the enemy into moon dust with her moon rod. After than, sailor z looked at them. "Who are you?" Venus asked. "I'm here to help you. There is a new enemy, his name is prelude. He is very dangerous. That was one of his minions. Prelude is here to take the souls of all the people he can. But that is all I can share with you at the moment... I am sorry. But please take care." Sailor Z said leaving. "ACK! We're late for school!" everyone shouted except darian and sailor Pluto who wasn't in school. They all deformed back to civilian clothes and headed for their schools. Lita, Serena, Amy, and mina in one direction, rini and hotaru in another, and Michelle and amara in another. Trista (sailor Pluto) walked up to darian.

"Where's serene?" she asked looking around. "Oh no." darian said as they both walked to the car and looked around. Serene came walking down the street towards the car holding a first aid kit. "is she ok? Where'd she go?" serene asked looking around. "She's ok. Where'd you go?" darian asked. "To the health clinic couple of stores up. Hi." Serene said waving to trista. "Hi." Trista replied. "trista. Serene, serene, trista. You're late for school." Darian explained. "Your right. Talk to you later." Serene stated as she ran to school. "Cute girl." Trista smiled. "Well. I better get to school as well. college that is. Wanna ride?" darian asked. "no. I'll walk. talk to you later darian." Trista said walking down the sidewalk the other direction.
