(Chapter Four)

(Chapter Four)

Disclaimers: in prologue. Short ne? J

Sailor Moon looked around uncomfortably. But when she noticed a glowing green light coming from her left, she continued to go in that direction. Peering through the bushes, she could see a large clearing… and gasped at what she saw. It was her senshi all right, and so was the Dark King. She narrowed her eyes as she lay her eyes on him. He was familiar all right… familiar in her past. She stepped bravely through the bushes into the clearing. They all looked up. "So… Princess Serenity, you've found me." He said smoothly showing no surprise. She glared at him. "What have you done to my senshi?" she asked still glaring, her Spiral Moon Wand pointed straight at him. He laughed at her. "Are you sure you do not wish to join me now? I have long waited the time when I would see you again and I do… I see you loving another. Does this seem right?"

Serena glared at him. "I will never join one who takes away my best friends and turns them against me." He laughed again. "Oh… but don't you see? They begged to become one of my soldiers. They wanted the power, and also wanted to stay by your side… the side that you should be on."

"In your dreams." She yelled. "Moon… Spiral-" she was cut off by an attack. "VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!" the blast of energy interrupted Serena's concentration of her magic and flung her into a tree. She gasped at the new attack, a more powerful one than before. "Venus?" she asked looking up at the girl's face. "Didn't I tell you Serena? Or did you forget somewhere back there? We've gained more power from the Dark Lord than you can ever imagine!" Serena stood up, looking at all of them and spoke quietly. "But are you happy?" Venus' eyes flickered before narrowing. "Of course we are! We have the power to destroy this world and many more along with it. We know more about any timeline than Pluto herself!"

"So… power is all you want?"

"Power is what we all need in this world!" Raye stood up from her spot in which she had been kneeling at the feet of the Dark Lord. "I've had enough of this. Sailor Moon, I'm giving you ONE chance to join us. If not, then I swear, we'll be enemies forever!" Sailor Moon visibly flinched but glared stonily at them all. "Not if it means destroying the world of innocent people." She said glaring. "Fine. MARS FLAME SNIPER!" she yelled a torrent of flame unleashed from her fingertips heading directly to Sailor Moon. Leaping up towards a tree branch, Serena swung up dodging the fire and dropping back down after the danger had passed.

Sailor Mercury walked up. "Let me try. MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!" Sailor Moon back-flipped away, something she had never been able to do before. "OKAY. NOW I'M MAD!" yelled Sailor Moon. She let her wand disappear into sparkles and yelled out a new attack. "MOON TIARA STAR!" this surprised the senshi, never having known about it. "AHH!" screamed Raye as the magic slashed at her and the others. Sailor Moon yelled in frustration. She didn't want to hurt her friends, but there was no way she could convince them out of this… insanity. Suddenly a voice yelled, "STOP!" the senshi immediately stopped fighting and dropped down to one knee. The Dark Lord walked over to Sailor Moon who seemed frozen in place. "I'll take her myself." As he said so, he raised his hand and a dark sphere of magic appeared in it, growing immensely in a few seconds. "Sorry, Moon Princess… but if this is the only way I can make you join me… then so be it."

The blast came hurtling towards her and the world suddenly spun into slow motion. Sailor Moon kept her eyes open bravely. She wouldn't die being a pathetic whimpering coward like Darien always called her. She'd show him. But the blast never reached her. A flash of black against the dark foliage appeared in front of her and then they both disappeared up into the trees without a sound of their escape. They could hear a cry of rage coming from the clearing they had just left. Sailor Moon looked up into the now-familiar face of Tuxedo Mask. "So you saved me… again." She murmured, a tear running a path down her face. He looked down in surprise. "What's wrong?" he asked softly. "You keep saving me… but I'm supposed to be the one saving the world."

Tuxedo Mask permitted a smile to show on his face. "No… I could never have defeated Queen Beryl like you did… I was the one brainwashed remember?" Sailor Moon nodded as she leaned over his shoulder to look behind them. "They're not following us." She reported in relief. "I hope my senshi are okay." Tuxedo Mask nodded. "They were terrific fighters against our enemies… I'd hate to know what would happen in a direct battle against them with their new powers." Sailor Moon laughed. "Oh yeah? We've got Relena on our side!"

"What can she do?"

"She's another senshi, I think the Soldier of Tranquility or of Peace. She can channel more energy through her wand than I can with mine… it affects her drastically though… almost fatal. At least it will if she will allow it or pushes herself too hard." They had reached the mansion and Serena leaped out of Darien's arms gracefully. "Thank you…" she said softly. "No problem." He said lightly heading for his open window where his curtains were fluttering out. "Goodnight." He called over his shoulder as he leaped up onto the roof to his room. Serena sighed. She was still in her sailor uniform and she leaped up almost three stories almost inhumanly. (AN: Hey if Tuxedo Mask can do it, so can she!) She entered the room to check on Relena and saw that Heero was still there… not to mention sleeping right next to her. "Well… Relena should be happy now… that's what she's always dreamed of doing I suppose, waking up with the one she loves by her side…" she said softly. She walked over to the door, opening and shutting it almost inaudibly. She had no idea that another was awake in that room. Who was awake and had heard every word she'd spoken.

Heero's eyes opened fully now, looking over at Relena's calm, childish, happy face. He smiled an answering smile… one no one could witness. "Relena…" he murmured softly. He wrapped an arm around her, and she snuggled closer to him, her smile brightening even more. He stayed up looking at that smile, a smile that went straight through his carefully crafted protective walls and into his heart. Sitting up slowly, he looked down into her face, accented by the moonlight giving her a silver-white glow. Without thinking he moved closer to her, so that he was looking down into her face squarely. His hand lifted and with his fingertips, he brushed them against her face making her eyes twitch but she didn't wake. Relena… she might be the key I need to open the door and lift the fog in my dream. But would I be meant for my princess… and not for Relena? He shook his head clearing his thoughts. Relena moved slightly letting her hand fall open and he could see the glittering gold object that had been concealed in it. Taking it out gently, he looked at it closely. It was a sort of locket or talisman and even he who had no connection of being an empath like Quatre could feel the raw magic pulsing within it. He placed on the dresser next to the bed and lay back down letting his eyes close slowly and he fell back asleep until morning.

Serena sat on her bed, staring out the window at the shining moon that hung with the stars. "Oh Mother… Relena's happy… or she will be… when will I find who I'm meant for? And for me, why does love have to be so painful?" she whispered, her tears running down her face, shining in the pale silver light.

::Serena… you know you'll find out who loves you.::

"Mother?!"

::No… sorry. Just me, Stef-chan again. But don't talk just think instead. I can still communicate with you that way.::

Can you tell me? Who am I meant to me with?

::Well… (Hmm… this is queer I'm feeling uncomfortable thinking up an explanation for someone in a scenario I made up myself!) Uh… I don't really know… okay fine. You are meant for Darien okay?! There I told you.::

"DARIEN?! We ARE talking about the same guy who's called me Meatball Head since he met me right?!"

::Uh huh. One piece of advice though… just observe, you'll catch it.::

Serena blinked but she knew that was all the clues that the authoress was willing to give her, she sat still and thought about them. Observe and I'll catch it? Oh right, other than saving me just because I'm the Moon Princess he hates me. Even when he knows I love him, he keeps going on about his Dream Princess and completely ignores me! She sighed. The old saying was right, knowing something didn't always mean everything got better… sometimes it got even more confusing. She lay back down on her back and closed her eyes wearily, the drain from transforming taking its toll on her sleep-deprived body. She fell into a dark dreamless sleep.

~*~*~*~*~ At The Time Gate ~*~*~*~*~

Pluto looked down at the scene wearily. She had been mending rifts in the timeline all day and hadn't been able to see what was happening until now. Queen Serenity had visited her and told her that she had wanted Serena, Darien and the Outers (since the Inners were brainwashed) to be sent to the Gundam Wing dimension. Pluto understood Queen Serenity's side of it… but what she found strange, and a little discomforting was the fact that another, evil power had helped to bring more people in. Smiling a little solemnly she saw her princess sitting there alone in her room, staring out at the moon. The scene shifted to Heero and Relena, Serena's cousin. "So… this is why Serenity-sama wanted to bring them there… but what of that other force? What do they want?"

"The destruction of the gundam pilots." A smooth, yet cold voice came from behind her. She whirled to see Trieze Kushrenada. "You! But you're… you're dead!" The man before her laughed. "I am no longer Trieze… he has died when Wufei killed him in his mobile suit. But I have taken over his body as his soul journeys restlessly in the depths of hell trying to escape." Pluto glared at him. "There is no need for you to destroy the gundams. Though peace has been called, there is only few mobile suit attacks that are needed to be defended from and the Earth and the colonies know it! Leave this peaceful time as it is!" she yelled as her Time Staff spun in her hand for one cycle before she stopped it and slammed the end on the ground.

"Oh but you don't understand, dear Pluto… I can defeat you in a moment if I wish it. But… I will let you go if you let me pass. My intentions will soon be known throughout the farthest reaches of the galaxies." Pluto glared at him. "Not while I still live and breath, you scum!" she yelled. "DEAD SCREAM!" the purple planet-shaped attacked hurled itself at Trieze, but he didn't even flinch. "SILENCE WALL!" he cried instead mimicking Sailor Saturn's attack perfectly. "What?!" cried Pluto in surprise, and a little fear showed in her eyes.

"Ah Princess Pluto. Now you see. I am the Destruction of all Worlds. I am…" his eyes flared blood red. "Pluto himself." Pluto gasped. "NO! The God of the Underworld has given me his power to fight for what is good and pure! The power of Death will not be used for the destruction of innocents!" Trieze laughed. "Do you still believe this Pluto? Do you still think that I cannot control you? You can channel some of my power, true and so can all the Outers, however little, but I control the destinies of all!" Pluto glared at him. "You'll never control me!" she hissed glaring at him. Trieze laughed. "You want me to prove it Pluto? Well, how about some of your own secrets? How about… Endymion?" Pluto winced but she continued glaring at him. "It is nothing of your concern!" she yelled. "Oh Pluto. You know as well as I do that you love him." Pluto paled. "Endymion belongs with Neo-Queen Serenity. I will not change destiny for such things." Pluto laughed. "Oh Pluto. Don't worry about that now. Let me through the Time Portal."

Pluto gasped as she walked forward, her Time Staff in hand and opened the wide door that opened into the time stream. "What are you doing to me?!" she cried as she found herself going through the exact motions with the staff to send him to the dimension. "Don't you understand by now? All of the sailor senshi are under my own control. You are one of those. Serenity will go to my younger brother…" Pluto screamed. "YOU MONSTER!" before he stepped into the portal and she collapsed on the cloud-covered floor gasping for air. I can't stop him. He has too much power over me… complete power over me… she thought, her mind reeling.

~*~*~*~*~ In The Sailor Moon Dimension ~*~*~*~*~

"MOON PRISM POWER!" Luna yelled as she held up the broach in her hand. Her long dark blue hair was tied into several buns at the top of her head and the rest cascaded over her shoulders. Her blue eyes were trained on the youma in front of her. The youma smirked slightly, knowing she wasn't Sailor Moon. "It is time for you to die!" it hissed at her. Luna glared at it. "Not today!" she cried. "MOON TIARA MAGIC!" the youma's eyes widened as the golden discus flew straight through the mid-section and it began to scream before exploding into a pile of sparkling moondust. Luna frowned. It was too easy to destroy the youma, the ones that Sailor Moon had had to fight were far more dangerous than these. Oh no… I hope she'll be all right in that other dimension. Those youma have probably followed her there…

~*~*~*~*~ In The Gundam Wing Dimension ~*~*~*~*~

Relena's flickered once before opening them fully. Feeling a warm presence right next to her, she looked over to see Heero Yuy sleeping right next to her. Her eyes widened at the unexpected sight. He'd stayed all night with her. A wondrous smile appeared on her face as she looked down at his sleeping form next to her. Her smile softened to one barely noticeable as he opened his eyes and looked at her. "Uh… good morning Heero…" she said almost shyly. He looked up into her light cornflower blue eyes with his own Prussian blue ones. "Good morning." He replied getting up to his feet and walking over to the balcony. "Why did you stay?" asked Relena softly, sitting up on the bed. "You were having some sort of nightmare and you were glowing. You tried to commit suicide by jumping off the balcony, I didn't want you to do it again."

It figures. I think he sort of likes me, he goes on and tells me that he's doing it for a mission to protect me. She stood up slowly groaning as she did so… "Ohhh… I feel like I've been hit by a semi." She muttered before turning back to Heero. "Um… you can go if you want…" she said slowly. "It doesn't matter. You can go take a shower and I'll stay here." She nodded slowly. "Sure… I guess." She grabbed her towel and her robe and walked into the adjoining bathroom. He could hear the rustling of fabric before screaming. "AHHHHHHHH!!! OMAE O KOROSU!! ECCHI!! HENTAI!! PEEPING-TOM!!" Heero, other than being astounded that she knew ANY words in Japanese, was amazed to see a guy running out of the door with a shoe aimed at his head flying out the doorway. "GET OUT OF MY ROOM YOU DAMN PAPARAZZI!!!" yelled Relena running out of the bathroom with another shoe clutched in one hand and the other holding her robe together. The guy ran towards the hallway, making it out just in time to dodge the first shoe and barely miss the second whizzing past his ear. Home free! He thought vindictively before he rammed smack into someone. Looking up he saw the Prussian blue eyes filled with veiled fury.

"Uh-oh…" he murmured. Heero grabbed the camera out of his hand and then flung him down the hallway towards the window. Seeing Milliardo coming from the other end of the hallway, the photographer simply leaped through the window. Relena had stopped at the doorway to her room glaring after the guy. Heero turned back to her. "Since when do you know Japanese?" Relena's lost their anger before being consumed with confusion. "Huh? I don't… wasn't I speaking in English?" Heero shook his head. "I doubt 'Omae o korosu', 'ecchi' and 'hentai' were made official words in the English language."

Relena blinked. "Uh… are you sure? I don't even know what they mean! I only yelled, "I'll destroy you, and pervert and… yeah…" Heero frowned. "That's exactly what those words mean." Milliardo had come all the way to that end of the hallway and he looked in surprise. "RELENA?! What are you doing standing there in only a robe?!" Relena looked down and blushed pink. "Uh… well… thatguywashidinginmyshowerandIjustgrabbedmyrobeandranafterhim." She said all this in one breath. "Uh… huh?" Milliardo could almost feel the gigantic sweat-drop on the side of his head.

Heero told him for her. "Paparazzi. Relena. Shower." A true man of few words, Heero was. Milliardo's face became murderous. "That guy's going to pay!" he said quietly and dangerously. Relena walked back into her shower and this time, the water turned on without a problem. Heero stood there on the balcony wondering what had happened the other night. The phone suddenly began to ring and he picked it up slowly. "Hello…?" he asked. "Heero Yuy am I right?" asked a strange voice. "Who is this?"

"How's Relena? Don't you think she's taking a little long in the shower?"

"WHO THE HELL IS THIS?"

"Someone's who's willing to give you a clue… better go see what's up with her." His head jerked up as a horrifying scream tore from behind the bathroom door. Running over, he ripped the door open and he saw Relena, with (yes with her towel on you ecchis!) on her knees in the middle of the bathroom floor. "Oh god!" he gasped as he saw what had happened to her. She was glowing again, this time with a bright, white light that hurt to look at. She was breathing in short gasps and she was shuddering violently. He bent down and grasped her arm. "Relena!" he yelled over another scream that tore from her throat. "KUSO!" someone behind him yelled. "MOON CRYSTAL POWER!" a blast of energy flung itself at Relena, the white light wavered for a moment before disappearing completely.

Relena's legs could no longer keep her up and she fell into Heero's arms. She was unconscious. He looked up to see the grim face of Sailor Moon. "Whoever's trying to kill my cousin is going to pay." She said bending down and smoothing Relena's hair. "Oh god! What happened?!" yelled a voice from behind her. Milliardo Peacecraft stood there. Sailor Moon looked up. "You're her brother aren't you?" he nodded. "I suggest you call a few more bodyguards, she's got power of the Moon family in her veins… the evil will not stop to until they can have that power… and use it for their own dark purpose. I have mastered the ability to control my power… but she has yet to do so. Until then, she needs to be protected." Sailor Moon de-transformed to become Serena again. Milliardo, who had heard about all this from Noin, had not seen the actual process before and was a little amazed.
"Heero? Will you protect her?" asked Serena softly, her blue eyes worried. "Yes." He said simply and bluntly.

Milliardo frowned. "I'm going to call the other girls Heero… if this… evil is going to be daring enough to try and get Relena while you're just in the other room, well someone has to be with her and you're sure as hell NOT going to go with her to the shower!" Serena giggled softly. "You should have been on the Moon with us… and then you would have seen Relena then… she, we both actually, had complete control of our powers and she was the one who did the actual protecting… the senshi were simply extra protection for us." Milliardo blinked. "Uh… the moon? What's wrong with the moon? Last time I checked the mobile suit production was stopped and there was no danger of any battles on the moon." Serena rolled her eyes. "I was actually talking about… I dunno, maybe several thousand years ago?" Milliardo blinked again. Serena shook her head. "It doesn't matter. But Heero, you'd better take care of my cousin."

Not seeing the stunned look on Milliardo's face, she turned around and went back to her room. She had been wearing the pajamas from the other night and had rushed over when she'd heard Relena's scream. When she opened the drawers, the first thing she saw was a pair of long black pants and a white tank top. Hmm… I wonder how Quatre knew I liked these simple clothes when training… Her wondering was answered when she found every type of clothing in all of the drawers. "Well… he's sure thoughtful." She murmured changing into the tank top and pants. Her hair, she didn't tie up into odangoes, but instead, she slipped her hair into a very long ponytail that looped itself several times so it wouldn't get in her way. Walking out of her room, she noticed that something wasn't right… the whole hallway was twisting and turning… like the way she'd felt when she'd been trying to save Molly from Nephlite that day a long time ago. This time there was no Luna to help her. She was on her own with a twisted hallway.

"DAMN IT! I HAVE TO FIGHT THE (censored) YOUMAS EVEN WHEN I'M NOT IN MY (censored again) DIMENSION!!!" she was right. A huge youma, female it looked like with weird slimy ropes of… something wrapped around her. "Give me your energy!" it hissed. Serena blinked. "Wasn't taking energy from… a LONG time ago? I defeated the energy-sucking youma already! You have to come back again didn't you?! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!" she yelled at it losing her temper for a moment and acting like a ditzy teenager all over again. Even without transforming, she ran at the youma knocking it off its feet since it had a HUGE sweatdrop at the side of its head from Serena's ranting and had lost its focus. *WHAM* Serena slammed her elbow into its throat. "YOU (censored… you getting used to this yet? Serena's in a REALLY bad mood) *BEEP* *BEEP*!" Somehow, she was able to grab her Spiral Moon Wand from her sub-space pocket and destroy the youma as a regular girl.

She finally stood up straight to see Darien, Michelle, and Alex's stunned faces staring at her. "Whoa… how'd you do that?" murmured Darien, his eyes wider than before. "Do what?" she asked softly looking down at the pile of sparkling dust. "Make a mess in Quatre's mansion? Yeah that was smart…" she muttered to herself. "Baka Serena." Quatre, who had rounded the corner just in time to hear her words spoke up, "It doesn't matter, Miss Tsukino. But… why would there be a youma in my house?" Serena sighed. "You guys? I think we should leave. I'm becoming a homing beacon for evil… and I sense an even bigger evil joining us soon. We'll be putting them all in danger." Alex and Michelle both seemed to be concentrating hard. "The winds are changing their courses." Said Alexandra seriously. "The waves are silent and listening…" murmured Michelle, her voice gaining a timeless quality.

Quatre smiled. "We're Gundam pilots. I'm sure we can handle being stared at in the face of death. Besides, where would you go?" Serena shook her head. "We'll go anywhere until we destroy this evil." She said seriously, nothing like the ditzy teenage girl that Darien knew her as. "You'll leave me behind again?" a small voice came from across the hallway. Relena stood there, her face pale. "You'll leave me behind to die again?" Serena had tears in her eyes as she ran to her cousin. "Iie! Of course not, Relena! But… we can't endanger these people any more than we already have. They've had a youma in their house! How safe is that?" Relena nodded. "I know… but you left me before… on the Moon… and I never got to see you again."

~*~*~*~ Flashback ~*~*~*~

"Serena! Wait! Stay a little longer, we still have a lot to talk about!" called the pretty princess of the earth. "I can't Lena! Endymion's expecting me… and there's something wrong here on the earth. I'm not allowed to stay too long, Mother told me. I'll come back to see you soon!" she called over her shoulder in her hurry. Relena shrugged. "Well, I'll see you soon!" there was no answer, the teleportation device had done its work and Serena was back in the walls of the Moon Palace.

It was that night. The night that was the end of the reign of Queen Serenity, and it the death of the Silver Millennium. Princess Serena was killed that night and the soft sounds of mourning from her cousin could be heard as she walked among the ruins of the once beautiful palace. Hearing a sudden movement, Relena rushed over in hope that someone had survived. She gasped in horror as she saw the slumped body of Queen Serenity lying sprawled on a fallen column. "Serenity-sama!" she gasped, "Oh Relena… you're alright. Serena…" she murmured faintly. Relena grasped her aunt's hand. "No Serenity-sama! You have to live! You can build a new empire and rule in peace and harmony once more!"

The Queen smiled faintly. "I'm going to die, my dear… there's nothing that can stop it. Serena…" she held up the glowing Ginzoushou or Silver Crystal. "She's in here… I had to trap them here or I would have utterly destroyed her… I'm going to send them all into a new life… you as well." Relena nodded. "I understand… I'll… I'll miss you Serenity…" the Queen smiled, the last sight Princess Relena of Earth ever saw before a white glow filled her vision and she was sent to the Earth in a future far away from her cousin…

~*~*~*~ End Flashback ~*~*~*~

They had all decided to go down to the dining room and eat their breakfast since everyone (especially Serena) had already been getting hungry. Meeting up with the other guys and Noin, the table was quite comfortable… if a little formal since it was HUGE. Serena turned over to Quatre. "Do you have a place where I can train or something? I mean, I might be Sailor Moon, but I still need to keep in shape." She said surprising Darien to no ends. Let me get this straight… Serena Tsukino… Tokyo's laziest girl exercises and trains? Now I've seen everything. Quatre nodded. "Yeah… it's down the hall from your rooms, it's actually a VERY big gym, I'm sure you'll get some decent training there, we guys use it a lot." Serena smiled. "Thanks Quatre!" Relena stood up. "I'll go against you." She offered shocking the rest of the assembled people except for the senshi. "What are you talking about Relena? You don't even know HOW to go up against someone who fights youma every day! Besides, you're the Princess of the Sanc Kingdom! You're a pacifist!" said Milliardo a little over-protectively.

"And I'm the Princess of Earth, Senshi of Tranquility." She said softly, letting a smirk show on her face. Serena laughed. "Don't mess with the Terran Princess!" she quipped high-fiving the other girl. "Can we go now?" asked Relena politely to Quatre who nodded, still a little stunned. "Yes, of course…" he managed to say. Michelle and Alex both stood up and excused themselves joining the two girls. They knew as well, Serena had told them the other night.

"Oof!" grunted Serena as she landed on her stomach after Relena had flipped her onto the mat. They had both been trained well on the Moon, but in the battle with Queen Beryl, brute strength didn't matter. It was power, and backed up with Queen Metallia, they'd had no chance. Heero, who had been standing in the doorway showed his surprise minimally, which was a flicker of his eyelids that you couldn't see unless you were at least six centimeters away from him and he'd have shot any person who would have gone that close.

Alexandra looked on in satisfaction. She remembered those two from the Silver Millennium, she herself had taught them those moves that they were using on each other at the moment. They were moves that proved perfect when simply sparring and also deadly when in combat. "Koneko-chan! I think Heero wants to talk to you guys." Serena simply curled herself up, balancing on her back before whipping her legs out in front of her and flipping upwards into a standing position. "Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't see you." She called over smiling at him. Relena looked over. "Uh… yes Heero?"

"Trieze is back… but he's calling himself Pluto." Alex stiffened. Striding over to him, "What did you just say?!" she demanded. "Trieze is back, Wufei had killed him a little while back and now he's calling himself Pluto." Serena paled beyond comprehension and Relena looked at her in concern. "What's wrong?" she asked nervously. It was rare her cousin ever got worked up so much. "Do you-do you think something happened to Pluto?" she asked the Outer senshi. "I don't know… but I'm going to find out." Said Michelle. "Take me to him." she said solemnly. A glimmering of light suddenly appeared before them and suddenly, Sailor Saturn appeared in front of them, in her sailor fuku and on her face was an expression of worry. Her hand was holding the deadly Silence Glaive. "Senshi… a new enemy has surfaced. I am here to fight alongside you." Serena nodded. "I'm glad Hannah."

Michelle continued towards the doorway. "NEPTUNE PLANET POWER!" she yelled with her transformation pen held high above her head. She re-appeared as Sailor Neptune. "URANUS PLANET POWER!" yelled Alexandra becoming Sailor Uranus. Serena nodded at them both. "MOON CRISIS MAKE-UP!" she yelled holding the Purity Chalice (or Holy Grail, known as both) out in front of her and transforming into Super Sailor Moon, a persona that she rarely used because it drained her of energy immensely. Relena looked down at the talisman in her hand… but she was hesitant to use it. Powerful warrior though she was, she was still a pacifist in her heart. SSM looked over and seeing Relena smiled and shook her head. "Come on. You'll be back-up." She said softly, and Relena shivered as she felt the pulsing energy that was coming off SSM in waves. She simply radiated power.

The four senshi ran towards the doorway where a man was standing leaning against the doorframe seeming to be waiting for them. "Ah… so it seems the senshi have finally roused themselves to come up against me." He said smoothly. "NEPTUNE SUBMARINE REFLECTION!" yelled Neptune, her mirror appearing in her hand and the magic coming through the glass aimed at him. As the energy hit him, he simply yawned. "This is becoming tiring already. Don't you have anything better?" nothing of him glowed showing that he had no weak point. Neptune was startled. "Who are you?" she gasped.

"Don't you remember me Neptune? Uranus? Saturn? The origin of your magic? The god of death?" Duo, who had been listening at the door glared suddenly. "Hey! I'm the only God of Death around here!" Trieze glared at him. "Pitiful human! You are nothing except a puny pilot for a pile of scrap metal! You are no equal against me!" he growled. Sailor Moon stepped up. "What do you want?" she said seriously. "Simple. You and the other princess simply radiate magic and power… what I want. I want your power." Neptune and Uranus glared at him. "I've had enough of this. SPACE SWORD BLASTER!" yelled Uranus aiming the golden bolts of magic at him. "SILENCE WALL!" yelled Saturn protecting him before she could stop herself. "Oh god! What did I do that for?!" she gasped as she looked down at herself. Trieze laughed. A low, chilling laugh. "Did I not mention that I was the origin of your magic? I control all of the Outer scouts!" Uranus growled under her breath. "No one's going to control me!" she yelled and Neptune stood next to her.

"URANUS WORLD SHAKING!"

"NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE!"

"SATURN SILENCE GLAIVE APPLY!"

"MOON RAINBOW HEART ACHE!" (AN: Just to mention… ha! I've finally found it out! See what good things subtitles can be when you watch the movies…)

The four attacks hurled themselves at Trieze but a dark shield whirled up around him absorbing the attacks… all except for Sailor Moon's. Hers was the only one who could penetrate his shield. Uranus immediately understood why. "He controls our powers… but not yours! Go Sailor Moon!" Sailor Moon ran towards him, leaping upwards, "MOON RAINBOW HEART ACHE!" she yelled letting loose another blast of her energy through her wand. "Argh!" growled Trieze. "Pitiful fool!" he yelled sending a wave of black energy at SSM. "Ahh!" she yelled slamming into the outside wall of the mansion, creating a small crater in the brick. "GOD DAMN YOU!" yelled Uranus, rushing over to Sailor Moon. "I'm okay." Muttered Sailor Moon wiping the blood from her mouth that she had spit out on impact. "JUST PRETTY DAMN PISSED!" she yelled. "YOU (censored) @$$hole!" she spat out. "I'm so scared you pitiful human." He mocked her.

"NOT HUMAN! PRINCESS OF THE MOON KINGDOM!" she yelled, her crescent moon igniting proclaiming her birthright to the world and shining gold. A bright light flared from her locket where the Ginzoushou was hidden. When she reappeared, she was no longer Super Sailor Moon, but Princess Serenity. In her hands, she held the Ginzoushou that was emitting a powerful light. "NO!" yelled Trieze shielding his eyes. "DISRUPT THE PEACE OF THIS WORLD NO MORE!" she yelled bringing her hands out in front of her, facing him forcing the beams of powerful magic to impact against his shield. "COME ON!" yelled Saturn grabbing Uranus and Neptune's gloved hands. "SAILOR PLANET POWER!" they all yelled, their tiara's disappearing at their signs appearing on their foreheads in their stead. Princess Serenity's beam forced against him even further. "I'll be back!" he yelled disappearing. Princess Serenity immediately powered down, her dress disappearing so that she was wearing only the pants and tank top that she had put on that morning.

"SERENA!" cried Relena running to her cousin. "Oh god are you alright?!" she gasped, her eyes filled with the memory of her cousin dying before she could reach her. "I'm okay… I'm just really… tired." Murmured Serena slumping to the ground. Darien appeared next to her picking her up. "I'll take her to her room…" he said softly. Relena nodded. "Yes." Neptune, Uranus de-transformed and after some hesitation, Saturn did too, revealing herself as Hotaru Tomoe.

"The Senshi of Silence or of Rebirth." Said Alexandra. (AN: Please just pretend that Hannah's the same age as everyone else! K? k!) Duo glanced at her. "Are you saying you're another Death God-dess as well?" he asked a little miffed that he'd been called a 'pitiful human' still. Hannah's face dropped, her small smile crashing and smashing on the ground. Alex glared at Duo. "It's okay Hannah. He didn't mean anything. He doesn't know." Hannah nodded. "I know… it's just…" Michelle came around to put a comforting arm around her. "Don't worry about it. I'm sure the DEAD god won't bother you anymore." She said glaring at Duo, a lot to say from the normally calm and peaceful Senshi of the Ocean.

Serena came into consciousness being carried and she looked up hazily. "Darien?" she whispered. "I'm here Odango-Atama." He said using the Japanese name for Meatball Head. "Darien? Aisheteru…" she murmured before falling back into the dark oblivion of unconsciousness. She missed the sudden stop that Darien made while carrying her.

Looking down at her, he smiled sadly. "Oh Serena… you are something you know that? When I think I've figured you out as a ditzy blond, you prove that you're Sailor Moon. When I think you're a clutzy leader, you turn out to be a regal princess. What else can you be?" Your true love. A voice in his head spoke up. Shut up he answered immediately she is a powerful warrior that I have sworn to aid and protect with all my power. But looking down at the young girl in his arms, he suddenly gasped at the raw red skin of her hands. The Moon Wand and the Crystal had taken its toll on her body. He laid her gently on her bed. "Don't worry Serena… they can't hurt you… not when I'm around." He said softly before exiting the room. He didn't see her smile, unconsciously. She hadn't heard the words, but she knew.

Now Darien's sweet in this chapter… but wait up, you'll find something funny in the next chapter. A teensy wittle bit of Darien bashing, but I'm in it! Heehee. J i_luv_heero_yuy@hotmail.com for help and requests on future fics.
