Disclaimers: Must I continue on saying this? *sighs* I do NOT own any of the Sailor Moon characters. The characters in my story and my story line are of my creation. So please do not copy it, and claim it as your own I have spent a lot of time writing these. I'm hardly doing my homework, because I'm writing. SO, PLEASE don't claim this as your own work.

Author's notes: Way to go ME! I've gotten five chapters done in three days. Hooray! I might even finish this story, and work on the sequel after I rewrite the rest of my stories. Yeah! The original scouts aren't in the story yet but don't worry! They'll be in the sequel, I promise you that. Well I guess you want to read the story so... here ya go! Chapter Five!



Prince Athens slowly opened his eyes to find that his royal court sitting there looking down at him.

"What do you guys want?" Athens asked sleepily. His eyes barely opened.

"Nothing really, we just wanted to witness this moment in history, or shall I say moments." Greg said, answering Athens' question.

"What do you mean?" Athens sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"What Greg means is that, one you're in love for the first time ever. Moreover, the two of you have over slept. Not just oversleeping for a couple of hours. You've overslept for many hours. It's past noon."

"What? It's past noon?"

"Yah, it's almost one." Athens bolted out of bed, ran to the bathroom dress, and freshened up. "What's the hurry?"

"I've never slept in my whole entire life!"

"Well then, why'd you sleep in? Was it because you had such a good time dreaming about Princess Amethyst?" Athens didn't say anything.

"Why didn't you guys wake me up?"

"Well we tried, you told us to leave you alone or else you'd have us beheaded." Andrew answered plainly.

"And you took that seriously?"

"You told us you weren't joking and that you seriously would do that if we didn't let you continue on with your slumber." Athens hopped to get his shoes on and then left the room. "Did he tell us where he was going?"

"No, I bet you I know where he's going though."

"I bet you that you're right."

"I bet you that Andrew's right that you're right."

"I bet you that Ken's right that Andrew's right that you're right." The three guys burst into laughter.

"So how was last night for you guys?"

"It went pretty well, I was bored a few times. You did not see the crowd of girls around me," said Chad. The three guys sweat dropped.

"You call five girls standing around you a crowd?"

"Well yah!" The three guys shook their heads.

"I wasn't at the ball," said Greg. "I was um..."

"Reading a book. Most likely." Andrew completed Greg's sentence.

"Yah," Greg blushed. "So how was it for you Ken?"

"Well believe it or not, I think I found someone." Andrew, Chad and Greg all stared at Ken. "Her name is Trina, Princess of the Stars."

"You're serious?" Ken nodded. "Ken actually found someone." Then all eyes were on Andrew.

"What?"

"You weren't there at the ball,"

"So?"

"Where were you?"

"I wasn't at the ball, that's exactly were I was."

"Andrew, you're going to tell us."

"Oh fine," Andrew sighed. "I was with Evaline, I'm assuming that you all know who she is." They all nodded, and continued to stare at Andrew. "Whatever else you guys want to know, I'm not going to tell. You're just going to have to find out." Andrew said and then left.

"C'mon Amethyst! Wake up!" Katrina yelled. Amethyst just took her pillow and covered her head. "It's almost noon for god sakes. Wake up!" Katrina looked on the sundial. "Make that past noon. Wake up!"

"Let me sleep for another hour. I'm so tired."

"What time are you planning to wake up? Sometime after dust?"

"Exactly! So let me sleep."

"Amethyst get up, you're going to miss the whole day." Trina pulled the blanket off Amethyst and dropped it on the ground. "Now you have to get up."

"No I don't, and if you keep on bugging me. I'm going to give you a black eye when I do wake up." Amethyst curled into a ball.

"I'm begging you Amethyst; wake up."

"You two are pathetic, and frankly I'm not surprised that she's sleeping in. She always sleeps in, but what surprises me most is that she was the first one to be in bed and is the last one out." Evaline had a pitcher of icy cold water. "Now Amethyst get up."

"I'll give you a black eye too if you don't shut up."

"All right then, you're asking for it." Evaline dumped the pitcher of water on Amethyst. She quickly got out of bed and started to walk sleepily to the bathroom. "See? That did it, unlike your begging, pleading, etc."

"Well," Katrina stood up; "I'm going to go over to Tranquility now. I'll see guys later."

"All right then." said Evaline.

"Bye."

"I'm going to go see your brother now, Amethyst." Katrina heard something that sounded like 'have a good time.' Katrina then walked out of the room. As she did she saw Prince Athens. "Prince Athens, it's nice to see you. I assume you slept in."

"Yeah, it's really embarrassing really."

"Don't be embarrassed. Amethyst is still half-asleep. You're welcomed to come in there and wait for her but be forewarned, it looks like a tornado hit it, and Amethyst might come out not fully dressed. She does that a lot, especially when she's not fully awake."

"I'll just stay out here for a few moments."

"If you wish," Trina and Evaline then walked out.

"Hey Prince Athens." exclaimed Evaline.

"Is Amethyst---" Athens was interrupted.

"Dressed? Yeah." Evaline said and then walked off with Trina. Katrina walked off in the opposite direction. Athens slowly walked in, Amethyst was wearing the same outfit that he had once wore on the Milky Way but this time instead of it being light blue it was white. Amethyst's hair was sticking to her face from the water. She looked up and saw Athens.

"Athens! I didn't know that you were here." All signs of sleepiness disappeared from both Amethyst and Athens.

"I just got here. I here that you just got up."

"I was going to sleep in some more, but they had to drench me with water." Athens let out a small chuckle. "So what are you doing here?"

"Well, I was hoping that I could persuade you into letting me kidnap you and take you to the meadows for a picnic."

"Sounds fun, but what's in it for me?" Amethyst smiled.

"You get lunch."

"Hmmmm that really does sound like a good deal but...." Athens didn't wait for her to respond to pick her up over his should and then carried her to the horse stables with the picnic basket. "Athens! What do you think you're doing?"

"Kidnapping you. Now be quiet before I have to hush you." Athens put Amethyst on his white horse, and strapped the basket on the saddle.

"How are you going to hush me?"

"By kissing you." Amethyst sat there with Athens' arms around her waist holding on to the reins. She didn't know what to say. The ride was in silence. Athens rode to a place of ruins. Athens got off the horse when they got there and then helped her down.

"Where is this place?" Athens pulled Amethyst into a kiss, Amethyst was taken by surprise and then let Athens explore her mouth with his tongue. Athens pulled away minutes after.

"I'm sorry but I had to hush you." Amethyst smiled. "Now you may talk since no one is going to hear you."

"As I was saying, where are we?"

"The old castle of Artica," Athens set down the blanket and took out the food. Amethyst sat down. "Long ago, this place was a region of ice and snow."

"So what happened to it?"

"No one really knows, but legends has it that when the Stone of Artica is restored. This place will be the place it once was."

"Ice and snow sound so pretty."

"Have you ever seen it?"

"Yeah." Athens handed Amethyst a sandwich. "Do you like it?" Athens nodded as he took a bit into his sandwich. "I know a place where you can see ice and snow, well snow mainly."

"Where?"

"On Earth, you see it at the North and South Pole. You also see it during winter." Amethyst and Athens ate and talked for hours, literally.

Amethyst was leaning against Athens' chest, while Athens was leaning against the old stone wall. He was playing with her hair.

"Athens?"

"Yes Amethyst?"

"We should probably be getting back now. It's getting dark." Athens sighed.

"Do we have to?"

"I don't know, do we?"

"Well let's see, if we didn't go back; they would be extremely worried about is and probably will send a search party looking for us. We would get in trouble. But if we stay, I get to hold you all night long and you get to be with me longer."

"Tough choice."

"No kidding."

"We can just stay here for a little while longer and then go back." Athens nodded. "You do know that I'm the daughter of King Quartz right?"

"Yeah, Dare told me. It doesn't matter who your parents are and if they were bad or good. Nothing matters to me, the only thing that matters to me is if you love me or not."

"Well I loved you since the moment you met me yesterday."

"I didn't, I didn't even fall in love with you afterwards either" Amethyst sat straight up.

"What do you mean?"

"I fell in love with you since eleven years ago when we first met in the gardens." Amethyst smiled. "I've loved you ever since."

"Now I actually believe in love at first sight. Come on let's go back." Amethyst got up and pulled Athens up.

"All right, all right. I'm going." Athens put away the blanket and basket and then helped Amethyst on his horse.

They two rode back to the Moon Kingdom and were shocked at what they saw. Guards were running around, all men were in armor. Andrew stopped in front of them.

"Prince Athens, go inside."

"What's wrong Andrew?"

"The Moon Kingdom is about ready to be attacked. Take Princess Amethyst with you, Beryl's after her too."

"Me? For what reason?"

"I don't know, but she's been attacking almost every planet now. Go now Prince Athens." Athens nodded and rode his horse put to the palace entrance and then took Amethyst's hand and ran in.

"Athens let go of me." Amethyst pulled her hand out of his grip. "We can't just run and hide. You have to defend your kingdom, and if Beryl wants me, she is going to have to try to get me. I can fight Athens. I'm not defenseless. I think I know why she's after me."

"Amethyst, I can't live without you, not now since I have you. Nothing can happen to you."

"Athens! We're talking about the end of your kingdom and perhaps the end of this universe, as we know it. You can't just run away, with me hoping that nothing will happen.

"I know how it is to lose someone, if we hide. Your mother, sister, and friends are all at risk. Stop being so self-fish. We've got to fight this battle."

"So what are you suggesting we do?"

"We're going to fight, and if Beryl actually wants me. She's going to have to battle me first." Athens felt moved by her words.

"All right, but before we go. I want to tell you: I love you."

"I know you do." With that, Amethyst ran up the flight of stairs to the highest balcony. Athens ran outside to help with the battle.

"Serena!" Darien said as he was losing grip of Serena's hand.

"Darien!" A blast of energy hit the two killing them. The two then yelled in pain before dying.

"No Serena!" Queen Serenity looked up in the sky and saw her daughter.

Meanwhile, Athens and his court were dueling the four generals from the Negaverse; they used to be the royal guards of Earth. The swords made sparks as they hit each other. Athens heard his mother, he glanced over to where she was and saw Serena.

"Serena! Hang in there!" Athens knew it; he was too late. He couldn't protect his little sister. He battled with more anger than he had ever done.

"Beryl!" Amethyst yelled as she stood there on the balcony. "If you want me come here and get me!" She stood there and waited for Beryl to come. Most of the palace was destroyed. Amethyst used the powers of Nemesis and floated upwards in the air. Amethyst threw an energy ball at Beryl.

"Who did that!" Beryl turned around to see Amethyst. "Well, if it isn't Princess Amethyst of Nemesis. It is an honor to meet you."

"Don't flatter me. Now what do you want with me?" Beryl came within short distances of Amethyst.

"I want to offer you a chance to serve the Negaverse, and me."

"In your dreams Beryl, I will never serve you. If you want me you're going to have to battle me to get me." Amethyst glared at Beryl, in the corner of her eye she saw Athens battling.

"Then that shall be it. Kaio!" A man, dressed in a black ninja outfit with a mask covering his head, appeared holding his sword.

"Yes, Your Highness?"

"I want you to bring Princess Amethyst to me." Kaio nodded and then turned to Amethyst. "Have fun Princess." Beryl then went back to her previous state.

"Let's get this over with." Amethyst charged a white energy ball and shot it at Kaio, who took his sword and split the energy ball leaving him, unharmed. Amethyst teleported down to the ground, picked up a sword from a fallen solider, and went back up in the air.

Kaio grinned, someone who was a worthy opponent. He swung his sword to her side, which she blocked, and thrusted back at him. The swords clattered, and sparked. They both flew back a few times, and then started to attack again. He enjoyed the fight; it was much more challenging than his regular tasks.

The Moon Kingdom was being obliterated around them. The walls were being demolished; blood stained the ground, bodies everywhere. Only few people were standing, some on the side of good, and some on the side of evil. Athens fought with anger and hatred.

He saw the battle that was going on in the air; Amethyst was right. She was not defenseless, but he still wanted to help her. There was no way to help her though; he couldn't levitate like her.

"Where's Amethyst?" Katrina asked as she and Tranquility fought next to Athens.

"She's up there," Katrina looked up, "Is she going to win?"

"I don't know Athens, she's won the fights between my sisters and me but other than that she has never battled anyone else. I have never actually seen her fight like this before." Katrina stabbed a youma and then it turned to dust. "She might not win Athens; everyone on the Moon Kingdom is losing. The youmas are too much for us to handle. The Sailor Senshi are all down. Few people are still standing. I can give you the whole list in less than a minute."

"So are you saying that she's going to lose?"

"No, I'm saying we're all going to lose. Only you, Tranquility, your court, my sisters and me are still alive and fighting. Look around there is way too many youmas for us to handle. We can fight until the end but we'll lose if a miracle doesn't happen."

"She's right Athens. We're not going to win; they'll probably take Amethyst with them, brainwash her, and make her apart of the Negaverse. There's nothing we can do about it." Queen Serenity then walked up to the three.

"Perhaps there is a way I can end this battle."

"What are you saying Mother?" Athens went up to her.

"If I use the silver crystal, I can end this battle, and keep the peace between the planets. I can only send Beryl and her minions back to the Negaverse. If I destroy them I'd destroy Serena and them too."

"What are you going to do to them then, Serena and the others I mean?"

"I'm going to send them to a future on Earth."

An energy ball hit Amethyst. She flew back and hit the wall where Athens and them were by. She closed her eyes to endure the pain. Blood escaped through her lips. She slowly got up.

"Amethyst!" She heard Katrina shout. Amethyst slowly limped. Kaio landed on the ground.

"Are you ready to give up Princess?"

"Never!" Amethyst shouted as she opened her eyes. Athens stood in front of her. "Athens what are you doing?"

"You're not going to get her unless you go through me."

"Athens stay out of this. It's not your fight." Amethyst then stood in front of Athens. "On with the battle." Amethyst then rocketed up in the sky with Kaio following close behind. The two started to fight again.

"Kaio! You're taking too long; you know how Beryl gets impatient." Zoicite appeared behind Amethyst and then took a handkerchief and covered Amethyst's mouth and nose with it. Amethyst struggled to get free but it wasn't any use. The vapor on the handkerchief made her fall unconscious. Amethyst's body went limp and she dropped the sword.

"Amethyst!" The three sisters, Athens and Tranquility all yelled as they saw that happen. Zoicite snickered and then disappeared with Amethyst, Kaio then left also.

"Moon Crystal Power!" They all turned their heads towards Queen Serenity as she called for the power of the crystal.

"What? No you can't do this. You will not get rid of me that easily. I still have more pawns to my game. Ahhh!" Beryl and her army disappeared and Queen Serenity collapsed. Athens ran up to her.

"Mother are you all right?" Everyone on the Moon Kingdom was enclosed in a bubble and started to float towards Earth.

"Yes. You all must go to Earth, Serena and her court will need all the help they can get if the Negaverse ever breaks free again." They all nodded.

"I will send everything that you will need to fight the Negaverse with you." Everyone standing there was engulfed by a bubble and fell unconscious. Time capsules went around Luna and Artemis.

"Good-bye my family and friends." A tear fell rolled down her cheek and her body went limp.
