"Well this is just perfect! That odango atama has really done it this time!
How could she have gotten lost!" exclaimed Sailor Mars. Her words were
harsh but her face was full of worry.
"Calm down Rei! We will find her," assured Jupiter.
They were running outside, through a part of the vast garden in the back
of the palace,the same garden where King Soltar and the Earth queen were
brutally killed. They slowed down as they entered the maze, seeing no yoma
or guards in sight. They walked on, thinking there could be something
there. Suddenly they were in the center. They nearly froze when they saw
it. The stone beneath their feet was stained with blood in various spots,
two places were covered in it. At the center of one of these blood
spattered parts of stone grew a bush, the very rose bush that grew from
the Queen's blood when she died protecting her son. No one said anything,
they were silent in respect to those who died. After a moment they walked
on into a beautiful building of black stone.
When they reached the center they were once again shocked. There in the
center was a black marble death bed where the brave Queen Ellanous lay.
She was dead, her body had not decayed a bit over the years. The magic of
these holly grounds were preserving her body. She still laid on the that
death bed, her skin a deathly pale yet still some how beautiful, her
blackish brownish hair flowing around her. She was surrounded by beautiful
white candles and violet red roses. There on a nearby table lay the golden
dagger of the sun kingdom, the same one King Soltar used against the hydra.
"The golden dagger..."whispered Rei in awe. The light from the candles
illuminated the room, and reflected off the dagger giving it a glistening
glow. "This could be just the edge we need to defeat the dark kingdom.
We must take it to Princess Serenity," said Jason. "She is Soltar's
daughter, the only one left who can wield its powers. It is rightfully
hers." Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter nodded in a agreement. Jason took
the dagger and carefully slid it into his subspace pocket, like the ones
the sailor senshi put their transformation wands in. Quickly the three
sped off into the night to find the missing Princess and give her what
was rightfully hers.

Daemon, Stephen, and Ami ran furiously through the halls in the third
floor, searching for their missing Princess. They entered the west wing
when they heard deadly screams coming from one of the rooms, Endymions
rooms. "Serenity," whispered Daemon as he ran off in the right direction.
Stephen cursed his friends haste as he ran to follow him, Mercury behind
him. It was best to use the element of surprise and sneak up on them, but
Daemons mind was clouded with only thoughts of saving Serenity. He burst in
the room, and what he saw terrified him. Sailor Moon was on the floor, her
back against the wall. Her uniform was torn, crimson blood decorated her
skin, terror and disbelief in her eyes. Her hair was down from its usual
hairstyle. Drops of blood scattered the marble floors, was smeared against
the walls, both hers... and his. A letter opener lay bloody on the other
side of the room, a dark violet blood. "SERENITY!" shouted Daemon, afraid
for her life. Endymion quickly turned around to meet him with a cats ease,
anger and hatred in his eyes, his arms stiff, his sleeve soaked with the
same dark violet blood. "YOU!" said Endymion. He ran at Daemon, a black
dagger raised, hatred and death in his eyes. Daemon quickly dodged the
dagger, spinning away, and as he did he grabbed his arm, the one with the
dagger, and twisted. As a result Endymion dropped the dagger. Sailor
Moon still looked frightened, but there was a ray of hope in her eyes.
Stephen and Sailor Mercury entered and both stopped dead in their tracks,
their eyes on Sailor Moon. Their eyes were wide with shock and disbelief
as they should be. She was bruised, she was beaten, she was cut, blood
still pouring from her wounds. Her hair was down and a mess, she was
like a frightened rabbit trying to escape the hunter. Endymion either
didn't notice them or didn't care, his eyes were on Daemon.
"Get out of here, this is non of your affair," said Endymion warningly.
Daemon spoke as Stephen and Mercury went to Sailor Moons side, teleporting
her out of there.
"It is every bit of my affair," said Daemon, anger in his voice.
"Don't you ever so much as touch her again." With that he teleported
out of there, following the others. Endymion cursed under his breath
and slammed his fist into the mirror.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
They teleported right to the apartments. Stephen placed the now passed
out Sailor Moon on the couch, Ami called the others on the communicator
and told them to get out. Suddenly Daemon teleported in and ran to the
side of his love. "She's hurt pretty bad, we should take her to the
hospital," suggested Ami.
"No! That's the first place they will look for her. We have to take
care of her ourselves," said Daemon.
"She's in bad shape! She needs a doctor, a healer," urged Ami.
"I will take care of it Ami," said a voice. They spun around to
see Sailor Saturn and Sailor Pluto. Ami nodded in agreement.
Saturn knelled besides Sailor Moon and placed her hands over her.
She closed her eyes and concentrated her powers and let the healing come.
She started with the most serious injuries. As she was doing so the
others transported in, shocked at the extent of Usagi's injuries. Calvin
watched his sister, making sure she didn't go to far and drain herself
like she usually did. A few moments later she stopped, slowly lowering her
arms and pulling away. She stood up and tripped, dizzy from the loss of
energy it took to heal her friend. Calvin quickly caught her. She looked
up, a little surprise. "Brother!" she said in surprise,a happy look in
her eyes. "Yes, I'm glad you remember," he said as he helped her to the
chair. The inners who didn't know looked a little confused, but knew they
would find out later. Now they had more important things to think about.
"I healed most of it, she's hurt really bad. I think she's in shock,
she will probably be out a few days," said Saturn. She transformed into
her usual dark clothes, the others followed suit except Pluto. "Why would
Endymion do this!" said Makoto angrily. No one said anything, no one had a
answer. Haruka picked up Sailor Moon in her arms and put her in the bedroom
where she could rest peacefully, then walked out and closed the bedroom
door.
"She should detransform," said Michiru.
"Only she can do that. A piece of the crystal is lodged inside her. In
order to transform or detransform she has to will it," Ami.
Anger began to build up inside Daemon. He slammed his fist into the couch.
"It was a waste of time! We didn't accomplish anything and Serenity got
hurt! We shouldn't have gone in," he said angrily.
"You're wrong Daemon," said Calvin. "While down there Neptune, Uranus,
and myself managed to destroy a few small energy storage's and a few yoma,
including a cyclopes."
"That's not all," said Jason. He pulled out the forgotten golden
dagger from his sub-space pocket. "We got the golden dagger of Soltar.
It's Princess Serenity's by right. She's the only one left who can use
it, and it will greatly add to her power. She should be a match with
the golden crystal now if she adds the power of what pieces of the crystal
she has."
"And the Princess isn't dead, we got to her in time," added Stephen.
"It sounds like we accomplished a lot. We might just win this battle."
"Yeah, might," Daemon.
"Pluto, can you tell us anything?" asked Ami hopefully.
"No, I'm sorry. This event was unknown to me and the out come is
still.... uncertain. I only came to bring Sailor Saturn here, for it is
obvious she is needed. Now I must go back to my post at the Time Gate."
And with that Pluto disappeared into a portal.
"Well, some help she is," muttered Rei.

A week later. Usagi was still in a deep sleep, still transformed. The
dark kingdom had made a few attacks through out the city, collecting
energy, easily taken care of. No trace of the generals, Endymion, or
the dark king anywhere. The senshi suspected they were planning, getting
ready for the final battle. It was night, around 8:40 pm. Daemon was
watching television. Stephen was out with Makoto, he usually was.
Suddenly there was a high pitch scream from the bedroom. "Serenity!"
exclaimed Daemon as he jumped up, nearly knocking the coffee table over,
rushing to her side. He opened the door to see a pale, frightened, still
screaming Sailor Moon ripping her Sailor fuku off like it was evil and
trying to consume her. Daemon grabbed the light comforter of the bed and
walked over to the frightened senshi, wrapping it around her. He tried to
wrap his arms around her and comfort her but she screamed and pulled away.
Despite her efforts to get away Daemon grabbed her shoulders with both
arms, "Serenity, it's me Prince Dracon. Snap out of it Serenity, you're
safe!" She stopped and looked at him for a moment with clouded eyes,
frightened. Then they flashed with recognition as she fell in his arms.
"Dracon!" she said while she sobbed. "I thought I was still in the
palace with Endymion."
"You're safe now Serenity, I won't let him hurt you anymore," promised
Daemon as he held her, comforting her, assuring her she was safe.
"Serenity why did you destroy your Sailor fuku?" asked Daemon calmly
once she calmed down.
"It's evil, he was right. Every single enemy we have faced was drawn
to the power of the Crystal and me. It's because of me and Sailor Moon
that the moon kingdom was destroyed, that our lives were turned upside
down, that the earth has been put in danger so many times," she said with
tears streaming down her face.
"No Serenity, you are wrong. It's because of Sailor Moon, the crystal,
you, that the Earth is still here. It's because of you that innocent
people targeted by the negaverse have been saved. It's because of you
that so many powerful enemies are gone and longer free to terrorize the
Earth or the Universe. You, the crystal, Sailor Moon, and all you
represent is good. Don't let anyone ever convince you other wise. You
and your power are the purest in the universe." Serenity's crying slowly
faded, her trembling not as bad. She calmed down, but pulled herself
tighter to Daemon in his embrace. "Thank you," she said softly. "You've
been so kind to me. You've been there for me unlike Endymion. He never
was one for comforting."
"Serenity you know I love," reminded Dracon. "I will always be there
for you when you need me."
"I love you Daemon," she whispered. Daemon was shocked, quite. He had
wanted to hear those words for such a long time, but he never thought he
would, especially now. "I know that know Daemon. All I ever had for
Endymion was devotion, blinded by a child's first crush. I just wish we
could have been together back then."
"Well we are together now, lets enjoy what time we do have," said Daemon.
He kissed her gently yet passionetly, she was a little surprised yet
returned the kiss. They kissed, their hands exploring the other.
The comforter came off Usagi's bare body showing him her curves and
delicate skin, soon Daemon was undressed as well and they were in each
others arms showing their love for one another all night.
