"Redemption"
Chapter 4
The air was far cooler when Serena left for home that night. Mina, Lita, and she hadn't found a thing that could help them figure out what the new forces were. The odangoed Princess hoped though, that she'd have another dream and was completely lost in thought. Wrapping her jacket tighter around her, she and Rini headed home, both silent. However, the silence would soon be broken, as she didn't expect what was about to happen.
'If my dreams mean anything at all…I can only hope that it has nothing to do with what is happening now. I can't lose my friends or my family…not with the foreboding tone that dream sets…'
"Serena…are you, well okay?" the pink rabbit asked sweetly, her voice cutting through the chilly night air. Serena, although, didn't answer. "Serena?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you okay?" Rini repeated with more force.
Serena nodded, "I think so. But I wish I knew what we were looking for. It would make it so much easier. Not to mention exactly what it is we may be up against. Oh Rini…I know we haven't been together very long, but for maybe years now…we've been fighting. Fighting for truth and justice…and all we ever do is fight now."
"Serena, don't worry. It'll all work out in the end, " Rini added with a reassuring smile. Serena smiled back and was once again lost in thought.

"I'm back, ladies!" Glimmer exclaimed making a grand entrance. Her eyes were huge and full of light; her hair was glorious as it swayed in thick locks. The other sisters turned to her, with somewhat excited and half-expectant expressions.
"Well did you find them?" Borealis said impatiently twirling her long mane around her fingers. She didn't bother to look up, nor did she appreciate her baby sister's mockery of the mission's completion.
"It was simply too easy! I mean they were right there in front of me!" Glimmer replied, taking a seat in one of the conference chairs of black marble.
"How many Senshi are present in Tokyo?" Glacier questioned, standing from the head chair at the table.
"So far I've found six."
"Six? I thought they're were five," Aurora spoke up thoughtfully.
"Turns out the little pink rabbit is a scout. Heard her say it myself. I think its time that I announce my presence-
"No!" Aurora slammed a fist on the black marble table. Her lavender hair fell over her shoulders, eyes like molten silver blazing. "You got to have your fun, it's my turn." Borealis merely rolled her emerald eyes and swung her legs up onto the table.
"This is ridiculous," she muttered under her breath. Finally, becoming irritated enough; she allowed her pink mane to hang loose around her in a cape-like fashion as Glacier did.
Glacier looked at her, "I think we should do this in order of birth. Since I'm busy and Glimmer already sneaked her chance in too soon, Aurora you're next. Borealis, you last." Borealis folded her arms unhappily. The order of birth was quite simple: Glacier was born first, then came Aurora, next came Borealis, and as you already know Glimmer was the fourth born.
"Well sisters, I have to prepare. The Senshi will pay for their crimes against us." Rising from her seat, the lavender-haired young woman straightened her sleek black pants and Aurora smiled and left the room in order to prepare her plans.
When only Borealis and Glacier were left in the room, the platinum-haired leader whispered to her sister, "The best for last." Borealis smiled at this and knew Glacier had immense plans in mind for her.

In order to reach their home, Serena and Rini were required to pass the temple. They had about a ten-minute walk to go and suddenly a figure appeared in the shadows-out of nowhere really. The blonde and her future daughter did not expect this or the things to come. "Hello? Who's there?" the older of the two called out.
As if on cue, Its head craned out from behind the corner, and slowly it began to emerge from the shadows. Serena was wrong to have assumed it to be someone…when in fact it was more like something.
"Now be good my pet, and give the scouts a run for their money!" Aurora laughed into the night and disappeared to a secluded spot to watch the scene from above.
Finally, the form had revealed itself entirely…every monstrous inch. A long, scaly body, the color of blood, and its eyes of golden yellow, peered at the two girls strangely.
"Sere-Serena…w-what is that?" Rini stuttered at its entrance. Serena bit her lip and grasped the child's hand.
"Get back, Rini…I have a terrible feeling about this." Its wings were incredible…the same color as its body, strong and muscled. The creature's tale was at least fifteen feet long with large gold spikes on its tip.
"IT'S A DRAGON!" Rini screamed. The monstrosity's legs were like tree trunks and had black razor blade claws. It towered 25 feet with each of its four legs on the ground and from its nose to the tip of its tail, the dragon was 45 feet long in total. "Mommy!" the child screamed randomly, visions of her parents running through her mind in her desperate attempt to seek security. She threw her arms around Serena's waist, and the blonde quickly began to step back away from the monster.
The dragon lifted it proud head, spread its wings high in the air and roared in response. The ground itself shook as if struck by an earthquake under its immense roar. The neck itself was 10 feet in length. Not only that but an ominous black star was centered on its forehead.
Serena clutched a hand to her broach and her fearful expression turned to that of determination. "Rini! Get out of here and go to the Temple! Find Raye and the others!" she commanded as she held out her broach.
Rini's eyes were wide open in their ruby splendor as she shook with fear-she was frozen in place. "But…but Serena!" The dragon let out another roar that was more like an enormous thunder and lightening storm striking the town. Rini let out a deafening scream as she fell backwards, only to lock eyes with her future mother.
The blonde whirled around, her face dead serious. "Rini! Please go! Now!" But it was too late for either of them to run-the threat was advancing quickly.
"Serena! Be careful!" Rini cried from behind.
Serena rapidly transferred her attention to the "task" before her. "Listen up you beastly…thing! You picked the wrong town to trample!" Raising her broach high with eyes full of determination, she cried: "Moon Cosmic Power!" Serena, in a blur of wondrous light, became the powerful Sailor Moon and smiled. Rini transformed quickly thereafter. "I am Sailor Moon, the champion of justice! I will right wrongs and triumph-
As if in an act of mockery, the dragon threw back its head and blew a shower black flames from its mouth and roared. Sailor Moon just barely grabbed Rini and rolled out of the way before the flames seared the pavement.
"Sailor Moon! I don't think it cares too much for your speech!" Chibi-moon shrieked, still in the blonde's protective embrace.
"Yes that's true!" an unfamiliar voice came. The two girl's looked to their right, to find a strange woman standing beneath the lamplight. It was Aurora who came out from the shadows.
"Who are you?" Sailor Chibi-Moon said surprised.
"Aurora. I see you've met my little pet here. Her name is Drayga. Why…I don't think you're going to last very long...where's your other little friends?"
"Right here!" a choir of voices exclaimed in unison.
"Sailor Mars!"
"Sailor Mercury!"
"Sailor Venus!"
"And Sailor Jupiter!"
"We are the Sailor scouts!"
Aurora laughed hysterically. "You don't stand a chance! Good luck little Senshi, you'll need it!" and Aurora disappeared to another place to watch. Sailor Mars studied the surreal beast with great tension, and upon seeing the symbol on its forehead, suddenly screamed.
"Mercury! It's the star in my vision!" Mars cried. Mercury nodded in agreement and the six Senshi assembled into a clump.
"Mercury, why didn't you see the energy force on your scanner?" Luna exclaimed as the Dragon lashed its tail and sent all six into a wall.
"I must've been sleeping or something!" she replied. Mercury jumped up. "Mercury Bubbles Blast!" a thick mist clouded the dragon as it looked around in confusion.
"Venus Love Chain Encircle!" Venus' love chain wrapped around its two front feet and began to drag it down. Sailor Venus held onto the chain tightly, straining with each second. Another roar from Drayga and it soon broke free of the chains and threw them while Venus was still attached. "Ugh!" she screamed as she sailed through the air. Mercury ran to her side. Jupiter came to Mars' side and the two assembled a double attack.
"Mars let's do it! Sparkling Wide Pressure!"
"Mars Celestial Fire Surround!" and their powers combined, hitting the dragon and weakening it immensely. Drayga growled and suddenly her star began to glow. "Her star you guys!" Mars cried. Drayga's body began shrinking and changing…into body. Her wings, tail, and neck shrunk until she was in a human form. The only difference was her ocean colored body, wings, tail, and star.
"I am Drayga, keeper of the underworld darkness! Children of ignorance, now you feel endure my wrath!" Drayga laughed now fully changed.
"Who are you calling ignorant?! Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" Sailor Chibi-Moon shouted. Nothing happened of course.
"Is this supposed to impress me?" Drayga grabbed Sailor Chibi-Moon with her tail and threw her into an alleyway, the child's screams echoing as she flew
"Chibi Moon!" Sailor Moon exclaimed. "No I won't let you!"
"Ha, too bad for you Miss Moon!" Drayga laughed and sent a black energy beam flying at her. Sailor Moon gasped as she unsuccessfully tried to brace herself, and was ripped back with it and pinned to another wall. Drayga opened her mouth and black flame exploded at the scouts.
"No!" the other Senshi screamed flying back and away. They landed in a pile of debris, each of their fuku's tattered, torn, and even burned.
"We can't stop her!" Mars cried sadly.
"I don't know what to do-oh! Sailor Moon, Serena! Are you all right?" Venus cried out, kneeling weakly at her friend's side. Mercury and Jupiter helped on another off of the ground, coughing from the dust.
"How can we defeat this monster?" Mars cried and jumped up, running at the monster screaming.
"Sailor Mars, don't do this!" Sailor Moon choked out. Drayga smiled and grabbed the ankle of the advancing Senshi with her tail and flipped her upside down. The girl squirmed, kicking wildly. Drayga closed her eyes for a moment as her protests become weaker, and made her star glow. Mars' body slowly became illuminated with a red light, a light that quickly began to fade as Drayga drew Raye's life energy.
"Stop it!" Mars cried out and with no other choice, threw a charm at her opponent's face.
"What, I can't move!" Drayga screeched in surprise. Her tail released Sailor Mars and she slumped to the ground.
"Serena now!"
"Right!" Sailor Moon jumped up. "Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" Her scepter emitted the powerful beams of love and majesty and Drayga was near death.
"I won't be destroyed!" Drayga screamed and then exploded as she flew into the air. "Ugh!"
"It's over! Venus cried. "We got her!" The Princess of Venus displayed her trademark "V is for victory!" sign.
But Aurora was not pleased…yet this was merely a test. "If you little girlies think this was hard wait until I stop going easy on you. This was a test, be ready for more!" and then the lavender haired beauty disappeared. Her black star was imprinted on Raye's mind. There was a definite connection…and Raye had a feeling things were going to get much worse.
