Destiny
Chapter 8: All People Will be Rewarded
Disclaimer: Don't sue me! I know I don't own Sailor Moon
Scott held Raye's hand gently. He had noticed she was getting extremely weak and was concerned for her. But she smiled and insisted nothing was wrong. Although he didn't believe her, he didn't question. Obviously she had a reason not to tell him.
Raye coughed again. She knew the end was coming, but for some reason, she wasn't afraid anymore. She had known Scott a few hours and already she felt closer to him than to anyone. She wanted this moment to last forever.
"This place is beautiful, Scott. How did you find it?" Raye asked softly as they hit a clearing in the forest.The sun shone down upon it and there were wild flowers everywhere. It looked like heaven.
"Oh, I was hiking over here and found this place. I've always wanted to show it to someone, but never have." Scott answered as he squeezed Raye's hand. He had never felt this way about anyone. He was glad he had brought Raye here. Only she would understand the beauty of this place.
Raye was breathless ever sight she drank in with her eyes held more mysteries for her to uncover. It would take someone a lifetime to understand them all. Unfortunately, she didn't have a lifetime. She ran ahead into the clearing.
The sun warmed her shoulders. She laughed as she saw a rabbit scamper away, frightened by her immediate appearance. The sun bounced over her long hair and she sat down next to a bunch of wild flowers. She sighed as she smelled them.
Scott came up behind her and couldn't resist putting his arms around her. He expected her to pull away, but she leaned into him instead. She must feel the connection too, he thought.
The moment was ended by Raye coughing violently. She crouched over and for a moment, Scott that she was going to vomit. Instead she took a deep breath and slowed down. When she looked up, her face was red from coughing so hard. "Sorry," she said weakly, trying to smile.
Scott took her hand. "Raye, tell me, what's happening? Why are you so sick?" he asked. Raye looked away.
"I can't tell you, Scott. All I can say is that I have a serious disease, and I'm not going to get better." she said quietly.
Scott looked at her. Even when she was weak from coughing, she looked like an angel. She was so beautiful and loving. She was more than he deserved, and yet he wanted to be with her more than anything else in the world. He had only known her a few hours, but he knew that it was his destiny to be with Raye. And she was going to leave him.
"I...can't believe it." he stuttered and gazed at her. "You're so beautiful and gentle. You're an angel to me. I think...I think I love you." Scott looked down for a moment, listening to his heart. It told him to keep going. "No, I know it. Raye, I love you."
Raye was shocked. He had felt the chemistry too. But she had thought it was merely one last fling, just one more chance at romance before she died. She didn't think he would feel the same. She closed her eyes, feeling her heart beat steadily. Silently she asked herself, Do I love Scott?
"Yes, you do." a voice answered. Her eyes popped open as she heard the reply. "You love him, Raye." It was Lita's voice.
"How do you know?" she asked her, looking deeply into Scott's eyes.
"We all can tell, Raye." Mina said. "You'll understand...later." she whispered.
Scott felt like an idiot. He had just told a practical stranger the three most important words he would ever utter. He wished he could slap himself on the forehead. There was no way she could feel the same.
"I love you too." Raye finally said. She smiled at the thought of the words and said them again. "I love you. My god, Scott, I love you!" she said, laughing with pure joy.
Scott's eyes widened. He didn't question Raye at all. He wanted to leap three hundred feet in the air and shout at the top of his lungs, "Raye loves me!" But he didn't.
He took Raye in his arms and slowly kissed her. The kiss was filled with more emotion than Darien or Chad's kisses combined. The kiss seemed to last a lifetime and end a second later. Raye's heart was pounding harder, but she didn't care. All she wanted was to kiss Scott over and over.
She kissed him back. The kiss was equally powerful, almost enough to make them both burst. Their lungs longed for oxygen, but the kiss felt so complete that neither of them broke it. The kiss was so beautiful that Scott felt a tear trickle down his cheek. Raye felt it too, and broke the kiss.
"Why do you cry, my love?" she asked simply.
"Because you're so beautiful and loving. And you're leaving me." Scott said bluntly, holding Raye.
Raye shuddered. She had finally met the one, and she was going to die any time. She longed to have one more day with Scott, but she knew it was impossible. Yet, she wanted to be held by him forever. So did he.
***
Luna sat on the bed. She felt terrible. Artemis sat next to her, feeling equally depressed. These past few days had been murder on the two cats, and now it was taking their toll.
"Where are they?" Luna asked over and over. Serena had left Raye's house early in the morning, and Luna hadn't seen hide nor hair of her since. Artemis sighed.
"I don't know, but we've looked everywhere." he said. He sensed Luna's frustration. "I wish we could find them, too. Lord knows what's happening with Raye right now."
Luna was silent for a moment, then spoke. "Artemis," she began, "Do you think we did our best to train the scouts?"
Artemis thought about the question. He finally nodded. "I don't think there was anything more we could have done to avoid this."
Luna nodded. "I just can't help wondering if there were something more I could've said..." she said. Artemis put his paw over hers.
"There wasn't. Raye did what the probe told her to do. Serena did what she felt she had to. It was out of our paws." he reassured her.
"I feel awful. I haven't been around the scouts when they've needed me most. I've been either looking for you or feeling sorry for myself. But I can't bear face them, knowing that Amy, Mina and Lita are.." Luna's voice cracked.
"I know, Luna. I know. It's hard for me without Mina. But we've got to be strong. Raye's dying, Serena and Darien are treading into dangerous territory..." Artemis said.
"But we don't even know where they are!" Luna retorted.
"I have confidence that Raye will be back to say goodbye. And that's where we can help." Artemis said. Luna sniffed.
"I hope so." she answered.
***
Serena and Darien were laughing in the arcade with Andrew. Serena felt good about her relationship with Darien. It seemed he was able to fight the urge to kiss Serena every time she opened her mouth. And there hadn't been any more incidents...
"Yup, my girl has learned a lot of things about bathrooms in Africa." Andrew said, finishing up his tale. Darien chuckled.
Serena smiled, her thoughts drifting to Raye. She had been gone a long time. But Serena knew the scouts would alert her if Raye was in trouble.
Darien glanced over to Serena. He put his arm around her and pulled her close to him. She was HIS girl, and he wasn't going to let her go. Not for the world.
Serena leaned into Darien. She felt so close to him, like nothing else in the world mattered at all. But there were others things besides Darien. There was Raye to think about, and Tanya to worry about. And Luna and Artemis. She hadn't seen them all day. She couldn't sit at the arcade and forget her troubles anymore.
She turned to Darien and whispered in his ear, "I think we better go. We've got other things."
Darien understood and nodded. He glanced at his watch. "Well, Andrew, meatball-head and I need to take off. We've got other...plans." he said as he stood up.
Andrew chuckled and winked at Darien. "I get you. I better get back to work anyway. Nice seeing you, Serena. Come around more often, I think Sailor-V is beginning to feel neglected." he teased her.
Serena smiled and waved to Andrew. He was Darien's best friend and had been a major crush at one time. But he was nothing compared to Darien. No one was.
"So where to, my love?" Darien said, hanging arm around Serena.
"Let's go see Luna and Artemis. I think we need to explain what's going on." Serena said.
Darien stopped in his tracks. There was a hospital attendant right in front of them! They were looking for Serena to take her back to the hospital! He quickly thought and grabbed Serena.
He kissed her full force, pushing her back against the wall. He was able to hide Serena's face, but the attendant didn't seem to be moving fast enough.
Meanwhile, Serena was getting nervous. Why is he kissing me so hard? she thought. Maybe the probe's acting up again. Oh no, we can't make a scene in front of all these people!
Darien eyes opened. Serena's eyes were full of alarm. Oh no, she thinks it's the probe, he thought. His eyes pleaded with her to keep kissing him a little longer. But the message wasn't getting through.
Serena continue kissing Darien's lips, but she was growing more and more frightened. He wouldn't stop kissing her! How could she tell him no without causing a scene?
Darien's eyes glanced around. The hospital attendant wasn't looking in their direction, so he broke the kiss. Serena tried to push him away, but he leaned into her with all his body weight. This was not the time to be worried about appearances. "Just keep kissing me. Trust me." he hissed and began pressing his lips to hers again.
Serena was confused, but trusted him. His hands weren't running up and down her body, so she decided he had good motive to be sucking her face in the middle of a public area.
Darien kept his eye on the guard. She looked at him strangely, but moved on. When she turned the corner, he broke the kiss.
Serena was breathless. "What...was that all about?" she gasped, trying to catch her breath.
"Sorry, meatball-head. One of those hospital attendants was gazing around and I couldn't risk them finding you." he said as he took her hand and continued along the way.
Serena giggled. "Oh, I forgot I was a wanted criminal. Sorry, didn't mean to push you away." she said.
"That's okay, I understand." Darien said.
Serena walked beside him silently. Finally she asked him, "Is it becoming easier for you to resist the probe?"
Darien thought about it and nodded. "I think now that Raye's dying, the probe is weakening in my system, too. That's why it's easier."
"Oh." Serena answered. She was a little disappointed. She had kinda liked it when Darien had kissed her that way. But she hadn't liked it when he couldn't stop. I guess I should be thankful, she thought.
They arrived at Serena's house. Since her parents were home, Serena couldn't risk being seen by them. She missed them, but she knew that if they saw her, they would return her to the hospital. So she went to the back and leaped onto the balcony. Darien followed her. There were advantages to being a superhero.
"Luna? Artemis?" Serena called quietly. The two cats were on the bed, taking a cat nap. "You guys, wake up. It's Serena."
Luna slowly woke up. "Oh, Serena, I've been so worried. Are you okay? Where's Raye?"
Artemis glanced at Darien. "And Darien? Um...Serena should he be here. I mean, with his probe..." he tried to say tactfully.
Serena smiled and locked her door. Her parents couldn't come in now. "Darien's been suppressing the probe. It's growing weaker now that Raye is dying. Oh, she's fine." Serena added at their alarm. "She's off with this new guy she met. I haven't seen her, but Amy will tell me if something's wrong. "
Luna looked at her skeptically. "Serena, who is this new guy? Raye's not one to talk to strangers. I thought she was going to see Chad."
Serena shrugged. "Something happened between her and Chad. No, she met this way cute guy and they just hit it off. I think Raye figured she should try one last fling before she...well you know." Serena paused for a second. She had known Raye was going to die for awhile but it still hurt to talk about it.
"Things will work out, Serena. Raye will be fine." Amy reassured her. Serena nodded and took a big breath. Darien noticed her struggling and took her in his arms. He lightly kissed her head.
Luna looked at Artemis. The couple seemed to be acting normal and in love. Raye was after some "hunk" she had met, but at least she wasn't dying in some ditch. Things could be worse.
***
Tanya concentrated. With her energy built up, she was twice as powerful as before. Of course, she'd be worn out after the battle, but what did that matter? She'd be done with the scouts forever!
"Now, what to wear?" she asked herself. The Imperium of Darkness dress code required her to wear a revealing dress, but other than that, she could pick which one.
It came down to a long, tight, strapless, laced, black dress or a short, red, lower-cut, backless gown. She decided on the black dress and slipped it on. After an hour of hair and makeup, she was ready. She took one last glance at her reflection and was haunted by a flashback.
"You look great sweetheart. Stop obsessing or we're gonna be late." a voice called from the hall.
Tanya adjusted her black dress and went out to the hall to meet Scott. His jaw dropped. "Do you like it?" she asked shyly. She turned around.
"Oh Tanya, you look beautiful. I'm tempted to keep you at home so the other guys don't try to steal you." Scott said as he took her into his arms.
Tanya giggled. "As if the other guys had anything over you. Nope, I'm yours forever."
"And I'm yours." Scott said and kissed her softly and slowly.
Tanya felt a tear in her eye as she remembered the last time she wore the dress. No time for tears, she thought and quickly went to the living room. It was time to do what she had wanted to do for a long time. It was time for her destiny to become reality.
***
Scott kissed Raye's face, her chin, her forehead, her neck. Raye ran her fingers through his hair, loving every moment of it. He looked up and kissed her lips again.
Raye wanted this moment to last forever. But she knew it wouldn't. And she had to go back, to say her final goodbye. "Scott..." she reluctantly said.
Scott looked up into her eyes. He nodded. "I know, we need to go back." He took her hand and they made their way through the forest and back to the park.
"I love you." she whispered and kissed him again.
"I love you, too. More than you'll ever know." Scott replied. He held her hand, not wanting to let her go for a second.
Suddenly a blast of wind caught them off-guard. Raye almost lost her balance, but Scott steadied her. "Are you okay?" he shouted.
"I'm fine." Raye was able to answer.
"What was..." Scott began, and a figure appeared in the darkness.
"Tanya!" Raye said. She stared at her in complete shock. Tanya had come back, and this time Raye knew she wouldn't leave until the job was done.
Without thinking, Raye opened her communicator. "Calling Sailor Moon! Come in Sailor Moon!"
Serena's face responded. "Raye? Is something wrong?"
"I'm in the park. Tanya's come back. I need assistance right away." Raye replied. Serena nodded. Raye closed her communicator and grabbed Scott's hand. "Come on, Scott. This person's nothing but trouble."
But Scott stared at the woman. She looked so familiar to him, as if he had known her from somewhere before. He saw the tight black dress and a phrase came to him. "I'm your forever..." he said aloud, repeating the phrase in his head.
Tanya smiled at him. He did remember! The brain fade hadn't totally overcome him! He still must love her! "Scott, come back to me." she whispered to him.
Scott blinked and noticed Raye was pulling on his arm. "We have to get out of here!" she shouted. He nodded and they made there way back towards the forest.
"No!" Tanya shouted, and blasted a pulse of energy towards them. It knocked them both off their feet. "No, not this time, Sailor Mars!" She trapped them in a cage of iron bars.
Scott was confused. "Sailor Mars? Huh?" he looked at Raye. She took out a power stick and raised it.
"Mars power!" Raye shouted. Scott watched in complete confusion as she transformed into Sailor Mars. "Scott, I'm Sailor Mars. I have special powers. I'm Princess of Mars, and a dedicated Sailor Scout."
Scott's mind triggered at the mention of Sailor Scout. He suddenly remember everything; the Imperium, fighting against Sailor Moon, Tanya. "Raye, you're Sailor Mars?!" he said. Oh no, that was why she was dying! She was going to die any minute. He was going to lose her.
"Yes, Scott. She's Sailor Mars! You remember, now. Come back to me." Tanya said.
Mars's eyes widened. "Oh my god, Scott! You're..." she said incredulously.
Scott silently nodded. "Yes, I used to be with Tanya. But I love you, Raye!" he said loud enough for Tanya to hear. He turned to her.
"Tanya, what we had was beautiful, loving, and wonderful. But it's over now. I've decided to move on, and I've met the woman I want to be with. If she's Sailor Mars, so be it. I love her, not you!"
Tanya looked back, absolutely stunned. He was in love with an earthling! A Sailor Scout, at that! It couldn't be true!
Raye looked at Scott. She lightly kissed him. "I love you, Scott." Then she collapsed.
Scott gasped and caught Sailor Mars. "Sailor Mars! Wake up!" he shouted. He checked to see if she was breathing. She was, but it was shallow.
"She's going to die, Scott." Tanya said. "You know she's going to die within the next half hour. If she doesn't die from the disease, I'll kill her." Tanya spoke darkly.
Scott's eyes filled with rage."Tanya, if you dare touch her, I swear you will not live to regret it. I'll kill you with my own two hands." he said, dead serious. His arms went protectively around Mars's body. She woke up with a start but sighed in his arms.
Tanya's smile seemed a little strained. But she continued anyway, "Oh, how touching. It makes me want to puke..." she said sarcastically.
"I wouldn't doubt it. It's not as if YOU know what love is." Sailor Mars called back. Tanya's eyes went dark.
"And you would know? You only met him a couple hours ago." Tanya said quietly but angrily. Mars shuddered.
Scott held her close to him. "If she's going to die, I'm going with her." he said to Tanya.
"We'll see about that!" Tanya screamed. "I call upon the power of the Imperium of Darkness!" she yelled.
"Hold it right there!" a voice called out of the darkness.
Tanya stopped and groaned. "Sailor Moon, about time you showed up. Where's Tuxedo Mask? I know he's around somewhere, just waiting to throw a rose at me in a piviotal moment."
Sailor Moon stepped out. Tuxedo Mask came behind her, holding a rose. Tanya smiled. "Now you can watch your friend die. Of course, must have you helpless..." she said and snapped her fingers. Instantly, Sailor Moon was encased in a large force field, as was Tuxedo Mask.
Mars coughed. "Tanya, it won't work..." she said weakly. Scott huddled over her. "It's hopeless Scott, I'm going to die anyway. Might as well leave fighting."
"That's the spirit!" Mina called out. Mars jumped at the sudden echo in her head. They seemed so close, like they were right next to her.
A tear trickled down Scott's cheek. "I don't want to lose you."
"You never will. I love you, Scott." Mars said. She struggled and stood up.
Tanya was surprised at the amount of strength she had left. No matter, she would be dead in a few minutes anyway. Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask watched helplessly from the side.
"Tanya, you've killed my friends, ruined my destiny, and caused me great pain. I'm going to die, but I'm going to die with dignity." Sailor Mars said. She took a deep breath.
"Mars fire ignite!" she said, building up her fireballs. She shot them at Tanya, who dodged everyone of them.
"It'll take more than that to take care of me." Tanya chuckled.
Mars looked completely worn out. Scott tried to hold her steady, but she pushed him away. "I call upon the fire of Mars. Help me destroy this evil force! MARS FIREBALLS IGNITE!!!" Sailor Mars cried out.
Tanya looked amuse. "In the name of the Imperium of Darkness, I call upon the force of Sage!" she screamed.
Scott's face paled. "Tanya, don't use the sage on her! No, Tanya!" he cried out.
Mars's fireballs headed toward Tanya. She held out her hand towards Mars and instantly a beam of fire, combined with ice crystals, surrounded by thunder headed towards Mars. She froze with fear. It was the Sailor Scouts' powers all combined into one!
Scott yelled in rage and leaped in front of Mars. He was hit full force by the power. Sailor Mars screamed as he was thrown back into her arms. "Scott!" she called out. He make a groan in his throat.
Tanya froze. She had hit Scott! Her true love! The one who gretted her in the morning and tucked her in at night! Her best friend, her boyfriend, her soulmate! She had hit him with the sage, the most powerful of all Imperium weapons. Tanya made an anguished noise deep in her thoat.
Mars kneeled down, holding Scott in her amrs. His flesh was burned and grayish. Tears trickled down Mars's face. "Raye..." he whispered.
"Yes, Scott, I'm here." Mars quickly sobbed.
"I love you, Raye. I love you more than anything." Scott whispered. He struggled to get up, but couldn't. "I'm so sorry I have to leave you right now."
Mars sobbed, "Oh, Scott, I love you more than I know how to express." She held him close. "Always know I love you." She looked into his eyes, and kissed him softly.
Sailor Moon sobbed. It just wasn't fair! Sailor Mars had finally found happiness, and it was being stolen by Tanya. She glanced at Tuxedo Mask. He had his eyes shut, trying to control himself.
Scott smiled at her sadly. "Raye, I'll see you soon. I know it." Mars nodded. "I'll be waiting..." he said slowly as his eyes rolled in the back of his head. He let out his last breath.
Sailor Mars held him close before setting him on the ground. She locked eyes with Tanya. Yet, she didn't look angry, she looked sad.
Tanya looked at Sailor Mars. A single tear trickled down her cheek, but she brushed it off. She hardened her heart and concentrated her powers. "Prepare to join him, Sailor Mars!"
"I am prepared. But I'm not going to allow scum like you to kill me!" Mars shouted defiantly. She pointed her fingers at herself. "Mars fire...ignite!" she shouted.
"Raye...no!!!" Sailor Moon screamed and ran against the force field. It was as futile as running through a brick wall. She watched in horror as Sailor Mars erupted in flames.
"Destiny....." was the final word said by Sailor Mars. Instantly the flames engulfed Scotts body and headed towards Sailor Moon. They broke through the force field and surrounded her. She lifted her arms, ready for the falmes to engulf her as well. The fire swallowed up her body. She turned a bright red, and slowly the flames disappeared. Tuxedo Mask looked at her with concern, but she grinned at him.
Tanya's mouth fell open. "What the...?" she began.
"I stand for love, and I stand for justice! I am Sailor Moon and on behalf of the moon, I will punish you!" Sailor Moon called out. "You're going to pay for taking all these innocent lives!" she said in anger.
Tanya quickly recovered. She snapped her fingers and Tuxedo Mask's force field disappeared. "Hold on, Sailor Failure. We have a few more lives to dispose of." she said cruelly.
"Froggardin!" she called out. Instantly, the hideous frog-like creature appeared. "Did you do as I asked?" she smiled at him.
He dumbly nodded. "Yup, but it wasn't easy, ma'am." He pulled out two creatures, holding them by the tail.
Sailor Moon gasped. "Luna, Artemis!" she said.
Tanya nodded. "Why, we can't leave these two furballs. They always feel left out..." she grinned maliciously.
"Let...us...go!" Artemis growled. Luna's hair stood high on her back.
"Awww, do the poor kittens want to be left alone?" Tanya said in a baby- type voice. The two cats struggled in the hideous frog's grip.
"Let them go! Take me, but let them go!" Sailor Moon called out.
Tuxedo Mask quickly stepped in front of Sailor Moon. He succeeded in holding her back when she tried to go after Luna and Artemis. "No, Sailor Moon. I will NOT allow you to go after them." he said in a commanding tone.
"I have to save them!" Sailor Moon said.
"No, you have to stay alive first. And it's my job to protect you." Tuxedo Mask argued back.
The cats continued struggling. Tanya watched Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon with amusement. Finally, she glanced at the cats. "Oh, put the felines out of their misery." she said uninterested.
"NO!!!" Sailor Moon screamed.
"Sailor Moon, it will be okay. Stop struggling." Luna called out. "I'll be okay, I promise you."
"Luna, I can't let you die!" she shouted.
"Neither can we..." voices whispered. A white light drifted down from the treetops and near the monster. It looked like the fine mist that you could only see in the morning, just before the sunrise. The light slowly went to the frog.
The creature trembled a bit. Tanya's stone face glared at him. "Get rid of them!" she commanded again.
The light went around the monster. He yelled in fright, but couldn't move. The cats instantly disappeared from his grasp. Then, the light went cold.
"Luna? Artemis?" Sailor Moon calle dout. The frog looked shameful and dissolved into thin air.
Tanya groaned in frustration. "I'll take care of him later." she muttered. "Now, we move onto business." she looked at the couple.
Tuxedo Mask's arm protectively went over Sailor Moon. Her face went cold as she glared at Tanya, who chuckled menancingly. Sailor Moon ignored the urge to run up and slap her.
"Well, well. You know, you almost had me stumped. I had no idea WHO Tuxedo Mask was. But there's not much Imperium technology can't do." she smiled.
"Tanya..." Sailor Moon began. "Spare him. Take your revenge on me, but please don't touch him." Sailor Moon's eyes glistened.
Tanya laughed. "What?! How can I NOT touch this 'hunkmeister'?" Tanay walked towards Tuxedo Mask. "After all, Darien and I have shared our...private moments." she smiled, an evil idea popping into her brain.
Sailor Moon looked at Tuxedo Mask. "What's she talking about?" she asked. He shook his head in confusion.
"Oh come on, Darien. Surely you haven't forgotten our kiss already." Tanya said innocently. Let's see how strong Miss Ditz's love is for her boyfriend, she thought.
"KISS? You kissed her??" Sailor Moon screamed. Tanya smiled.
Tuxedo Mask looked shocked. "No, we never..." he said.
"Darien, it's not nice to lie. I know you enjoyed it as much as I did." Tanya jumped in.
"Darien..." Sailor Moon said quietly.
"I didn't kiss her!" he said to Sailor Moon. "I swear!"
Sailor Moon stepped back from him and thought. Would he ever cheat on her? Could he have kissed Tanya because she wasn't giving him what he wanted? Did he ever share a moment with Tanya and kiss her like he kissed Serena? Sailor Moon looked up. "No," she spoke. It was simply impossible. "I'm not buying it. I love him, and he loves me. Nothing will change that. It's our destiny."
Tanya rolled her eyes. She walked towards Tuxedo Mask. "Then watch this..." Tanya said seductively. She got close to him and lifted her mouth. He tried to avoid her lips, but she pulled him to her mouth.
Sailor Moon cringed as they kissed. She knew Tuxedo Mask was resisting, but it didn't help. Tanya pulled away and grinned maliciously. He spit in her face.
"Well! I never!" Tanya sputtered.
"I bet Scott did worse to you." He said under her breath.
Tanya glared at him. Then she smiled at Sailor Moon. "Jealous?" she asked sweetly.
Sailor Moon shook her head. She went into his embrace. "I love him, he loves me. You can't change it. You can't break it, you can't harm it. I will always love Darien. I will always be loyal to him, as long as I have a breath left in my body. And beyond that."
Tanya smiled evilly. "My, my, what a declaration! You're so sweet, it's giving me diabetes." She glanced at Tuxedo Mask. "Well, I think it's time that we had our little show down, don't you?"
"You got it!" Sailor Moon said.
Tanya looked at Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. "Well, let the games begin!" she said and snapped her fingers. Instantly, the disappeared from the park into an alternate universe.
"I think a maze, full of challenges will warm you guys up." She laughed and disappeared, leaving the two in complete darkness.
