Chapter 6 – Darkness Released
"D… demo… Usa-chan, I can't…" Minako whispered, lowering the gun. There was a pleading look in Usagi's eyes, begging for Minako to pull back on the trigger.
"Mina-chan… I have to die… I want to die…" Usagi whispered, the look of sorrow in her eyes making Minako's feel as if she were dying. "There's something big about to happen, the only way to stop it is to kill me…"
"What are you talking about Usagi-chan?" Minako asked.
"I don't know how to explain it, just please… kill me…" She whispered, taking Minako's hand and pointing the gun at her forehead, gently pushing Minako's hand down on the trigger.

"Hmm… I'll be able to beat the all there in no time…" Heero said as he jumped into Wing Zero. He started up the suit, various lights beginning to flash and quiet beeping sounds. A hatch above him opened and he guided his suit out slowly, then launching in the direction of the college. "Goodbye little Miss Moon Princess…" He commented, a slight smirk spreading across his lips.
****
"Drive faster." Wufei ordered, beginning to grow impatient.
"Demo Wufei, this car doesn't go any faster." Quatre said from the back seat. Trowa was the one driving, pushing the car as fast as he could.
"Don't worry Wu-man, Usagi's fine. 'Sides, you don't want the car to break down so we have to walk do ya?" Duo asked, his hands folded behind his head as he leaned back in the seat.
"I didn't ask you baka. And don't call me 'Wu-man'." Wufei grumbled, a look of irritation crossing his face.
"Lighten up Wufei." Duo grumbled from the back seat, relaxing.

"I… I can't Usagi-chan, gomen, demo… I can't…" Minako said as she stood up, dropping the gun on the bed. She turned away from Usagi and wrapped her arms around her stomach. A sad smile crossed Usagi's lips as she picked up the gun.
"It's all right, Mina-chan…" Usagi said quietly, putting a hand on Minako's shoulder. "I'll do it myself…" She said quietly. She walked over to the window, climbing onto the balcony before Minako could protest and held the gun at her temple.
"Usagi-chan!" Minako shrieked, watching as Usagi climbed up onto the railing. "Don't do it!!"
"Gomen Mina-chan… demo, I can't let this thing inside of me get out… this world would be better off if I were dead…" She said quietly, closing her eyes as her finger pressed down on the trigger.
"Omae o koroso…" A voice said quietly from behind her. Usagi turned and was faced with a young man with prussian blue eyes and unruly brown hair standing on a huge mobile suit. He cocked a gun and pressed it up against her forehead.
"Arigato…" She whispered, closing her eyes.
"Usagi-chan! IIE!" Minako shouted, pulling out her henshin stick, not caring that there were civilians around. "Venus Crystal Power, Make-UP!" She shouted, transforming into Super Sailor Venus. "I am Sailor V, I will not allow you to harm our princess!" Venus shouted, striking a pose. She received no answer from the boy and saw that Usagi didn't move either.
"Mina-chan… let him…" Usagi whispered, a tear silently sliding down her cheek. She felt the cold metal of the gun pull away from her and she opened her eyes to find the boy kneeling in front of her. "N… nani?" She questioned, watching as he took her hand and gently kissed the back of it.
"I am at you service, your majesty…" He said in an emotionless voice.
"Usagi-chan? What's going on?" Venus asked, fear edging her voice. Usagi turned toward Minako and heard a slight gasp from her.
"Mina-chan?" Usagi asked, seeing the look of fear on her friend's face.
"The… Black Moon Family?" Venus questioned, taking another step back.
"Black Moon Family?" Usagi questioned, a confused look on her face. "What are you talking about Mina-chan?" She watched as Venus raised her hand and pointed at Usagi. Usagi turned and looked at Heero, seeing that he was still kneeling on the ground before her.
"Usagi!" A voice shouted from below. Usagi glanced down to see the familiar black-haired Chinese boy she knew so well.
"Fei-chan…" She whispered, feeling as the tears began to fill her eyes.
"Yuy! Get the hell away from her!" Wufei demanded, running into the building.
"Fei-chan… what's going on?" She asked herself quietly as she fell to her knees, pain ripping through her head.
"Oh no…" Duo whispered as he saw the purple ribbons forming around the blond girl's body.
"Ahh!" Duo and Trowa heard a cry from Quatre. They glanced at the platinum blond boy to see that he was kneeling over clutching his head in pain, sparks of purple and black energy lacing through his body.
"Nani? What's wrong Quatre?" Trowa asked, kneeling at his side.
"Stand back!" Quatre cried as the wave after wave of pain ripped through his body. "I can't hold him back any longer!!" Quatre shouted as purple ribbons surrounded his body. At the same moment, the ribbons surrounded Usagi.
"What's going on Usagi?!" Venus shouted, running toward her friend only to be thrown back a moment later. She crashed into the side of the building and slowly slumped to the ground. A moment later the Chinese boy ran out onto the balcony, heading straight for Usagi.
"Usa-chan!" He shrieked as he wrapped his arms around her, pinning her arms to the side. "Come back!"
"It's too late… Selenity is gone pathetic little human," A sultry voice said from Usagi's perfect lips. "I have already found the dark one as well as my Senshi," She said with a smirk. "Heero, arise and do my bidding." Miyana said as she glanced over at the still kneeling man.
"Hai, what do you wish of me, your majesty." He asked in a monotone voice.
"I wish for you to restrain the Prince of Mars," Miyana said coolly. "Do not worry, Wufei, you'll be back to your normal self in no time."
"Prince of Mars?" Wufei questioned, quirking an eyebrow.
"As you wish, majesty…" He said, slowly making his way toward Wufei and Miyana. Dark energy began to streak through his body as he slowly approached Wufei. He raised a hand and dark energy began to collect in his palm which he launched at Wufei, pinning him up against the wall next to an unconscious Sailor Venus.
"Kisama! What the hell is going on?!?" Wufei demanded, rage in his voice as the dark energy pressed him against the wall.
"Now that that has been taken care of…" Miyana started, turning her attention to the other three pilots. She looked down at Quatre, seeing the black and purple energy that sparked through his body, forming a black suit with huge black bat wings. "Come to me, my prince…" She said, smiling down as she saw Quatre climb to his feet, his face void of all emotion.
"Nani? Quatre's the dark one?" Wufei asked himself as he was held against the wall.
"Hai, my prince from the past…" She said as he floated up toward her.
"Miya-chan…" Quatre's voice cooed as he took her into his arms.
"Quat-chan, you're finally awake," She said, laying her head against his chest. "I'll have to thank Endymion for the poison next time I see him." She said, relaxing in Quatre's arms.
"Nani? Quatre? Dark one?!?" Duo said, his jaw dropping. "But he's the most innocent out of ALL of us!!" A smirk spread across Quatre's lips as he looked down at Duo and Trowa.
"Shall I round up your protectors?" Quatre asked nonchalantly.
"Hai, I'll need them once Selenity's Senshi arrive." Miyana said simply.
"Well it looks like you're too late then!" A voice called out.
"We will not allow you to take our princess-"
"It is our duty to protect her and we WON'T give up without a fight!"
"We're the Sailor Senshi and we will not stand for your evil any longer!" They cried out, as the three senshi stuck various poses.
"No matter, you'll still die… It just won't be as quick and painless." Miyana said, a smirk crossing her lips.
"Who the hell are you?!?" Mars demanded, fire in her eyes. Sailor Mercury was leaning over Venus, scanning her for injuries while Jupiter stood firmly behind Mars.
"It does not matter. Now that my prince has been awakened, I will no longer be trapped in that body of that pathetic moon princess!" Miyana said coldly. "Don't worry, though, I'll make this as painless as possible… demo, it might be kind of hard since I didn't have time to awaken my Senshi. Oh well, I would rather see you suffer anyway." Miyana said, a smirk crossing her lips.
"We're not afraid of you!" Mars cried. "Mars Flame SNIPER!" She shouted, sending a flame arrow heading straight for Miyana. Miyana chuckled lightly and a black shield formed around her, deflecting the deadly attack straight back at Mars. Mars barely managed to dodge the attack, burning her ankle in the process.
"Damn you!" Wufei shouted, fighting against the energy that was bond tightly around him. "Let Usagi go!" He ordered.
"I don't take orders from you, Prince Wufei," Miyana said, glaring at him. "But then, you always DID have a mind of your own, not like the others."
"You weak onna! What the hell are you talking about?!" Wufei demanded, forcing himself not to cry out as the negative energy ripped through his body.
"You always did have a thing for Selenity, back then in the Silver Millennium. You just couldn't accept the fact that she was destined to marry Endymion." Miyana said in disgust.
"Prince of Mars?" Sailor Mars questioned. "What is she talking about?"
"How the hell should I know what that baka onna is talking about!" Wufei growled, finally managing to free himself from the negative energy binds. "Get the hell out of Usagi right now!" He ordered.
"Iie, I think I'll stay here for a while." Miyana said sarcastically.
****
"Come back to your princess." Quatre said calmly as he landed beside Duo and Trowa.
"Nani? Quatre? What the hell is going on here?!" Duo demanded, watching as Heero jumped to the ground.
"You must serve your princess and future queen. You are her protectors afterall." Quatre said simply, raising both hands.
"You're crazy Quatre!" Duo said, taking a step back.
"Now, it's time for you to take your place beside Miyana-hime." Quatre said, as energy began to form in his palms. Two black beams shot from his hands, hitting Duo and Trowa's forehead, a black upturned crescent moon appearing on each of their foreheads. Neither of the two moved as the energy flowed into them, returning memories long lost and returning powers that they never knew they had… Images flashed before their eyes… when they tried to destroy the Moon Kingdom, the betrayal by the Prince of Mars as he tried to protect Selenity… Queen Serenity using her strength to trap them inside of the crystal… it was so dark inside that crystal… so cold…
"I won't go back…" Duo mumbled, his eyes closed. "I won't let Selenity send me back!!" He shouted as the symbol of Venus blazed on his forehead, going from purple to black.
"Iie… I won't let it happen again…" Trowa said, opening his emerald green eyes, the symbol of Mercury blazing on his forehead. It also went from glowing purple to black. They looked over at Heero to see that the symbol of Jupiter was glowing brightly on his forehead, going from purple to black as it stopped glowing. Each one of them were dressed in similar outfits as Quatre, all black except that the trimmings were the respectable color that matched each of Selenity's Senshi.
****
"Give Usagi back!" Wufei demanded, slowly approaching the dark-haired woman.
"Stay back!" Jupiter shouted, jumping in front of Wufei.
"Out of my way onna!" Wufei shouted, pushing past her.
"Iie! There's nothing we can do right now! You can't try to fight her, you'll be killed!" Mars shouted, stepping up next to Jupiter.
"Out of my way!" Wufei shouted, pushing past the two women, drawing his katana. He approached her, placing the end of the katana at her throat. All he received in response from her, was a low chuckle.
"You wouldn't dare. If I die, so does your precious Selenity-hime." She said with a smirk. Wufei growled low in his throat and pulled back the katana, letting his arm drop to his side. His fists clenched as well as his teeth as the rage seethed through his body. How could this happen to his angel? The only person he had ever really loved… the only one that was so deeply lonely like him… he wouldn't stand for this… he wouldn't let this witch take his princess from him.
"Die!" Wufei shouted, bringing back his katana, ready to slice open her throat. As Wufei's blade headed for her throat, her felt something crash into him, sending him flying over the edge of the balcony. As he was falling, he managed to grab onto the end of the balcony but he dropped his katana.
"Iie!" Mars cried, running to him. She reached her hands down to help him up, a look of worry on her face.
"Why the hell are you looking at me like that onna?" Wufei demanded, grumbling to himself.
"Selenity-hime!" A familiar voice shouted from above. Everyone turned their attention to the new arrival. His long black cape billowed in the wind as he jumped down in front of the princess.
"What do you want now Endymion?" She groaned, rolling her eyes. He smirked and grabbed her wrists. He leaned down and pressed his lips against her, feeling her struggle to free herself from him. Slowly, her struggling subsided and the woman lay unconscious in his arms, her black hair slowly turning blond and the crescent moon turning back to a golden color.
"Goodbye for now!" Endymion said, disappearing into a dark portal.
"Nani?!? Usa-chan!" Wufei shouted, watching as she disappeared in his arms. "IIE!" He shouted, pounding his fists on the ground in anger.
"Miyana-hime…" Quatre whispered, falling forward. His dark blue eyes slowly turned back to the innocent light blue of before as he slumped forward, the strange outfit changing back to his normal clothes. The same thing happened to the other three boys as they fell to their knees, breathing heavily.
"What the hell is going on here?!" Jupiter shouted as she stood with her hands on her hips above the five boys.
"I'll explain that…" A familiar voice said behind them. They all turned to see a black feline standing in the doorway, another white cat next to her.
"How did you get here Luna?" Ami asked, as she looked up from her computer. A few minutes later, everyone was inside awaiting the explanation, including Minako who had regained consciousness. The five guys sat on one side of the room and the four girls were on the other side. Wufei and Heero said with their arms crossed over their chests, shooting death glares back and forth while Duo leaned back with his hands behind his head and Quatre looked worried.
"Let me start at the very beginning," Luna said, sitting down next to Artemis. "One thousand years ago there was a kingdom on the moon called the Moon Kingdom. Queen Serenity ruled this empire and was widely respected and loved as was her daughter Selenity-hime. For each kingdom on the various planets, there were two children, all of whom were twins, one girl and one boy. Except for the earth that had two sons, one older than the other," She explained, looking over at Quatre. "Quatre is the younger of the Earth Princes, Heero is the Prince of Jupiter, Trowa is the Prince of Mercury, Duo is the Prince of Venus, and Wufei is the Prince of Mars. Selenity-hime's father was seduced by an evil woman and later killed by her. A child was born from her, Selenity-hime's sister, a complete polar opposite… Daughter of the Dark Moon…"
"Dark Moon? What's that Luna?" Minako asked, glancing over at Duo.
"I'm afraid I do not know right now… I have not gotten full memories of the Moon Kingdom nor have any of you," Luna said. "All I know is, the Princes' of the planets were Miyana's Senshi, she brainwashed them into following her. They are cursed to obey her no matter what."
****
"Fei-chan, you shouldn't be here…" Selenity said quietly as Wufei came into her room from the balcony. "Endymion's here right now."
"I'm not afraid of him onna." Wufei said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
"Demo… Fei-chan, if he sees you in here, he'll kill you for sure…" She whispered as she lay her head against his chest.
"I told you already, onna, he doesn't scare me." Wufei said simply.
"I know you're not afraid of him… demo, it worries me…" She said, but was silenced as his lips covered her own, his tongue gently parting her lips and beginning to explore the inside of her mouth. She pulled back slightly, a sad look crossing her face. "I am engaged to Endymion… it will bring the Earth and the Moon together… please understand, I'm sacrificing my own happiness for the sake of my people."
"Hai, I know, megami-sama…" He whispered, pulling her close to him.
"I only wish there was another way…" She whispered sadly, not wanting to let him go.
"Me too…" He whispered, forgetting about his outer cover. He held the innocent princess in his arms, kissing her hair lightly. "I have to go, megami… before someone sees me here-"
"Too late for that." A bitter voice said from the doorway.
"Prince Endymion…" Selenity whispered, seeing the form on her fiancé by the door. "Don't you ever knock?!" She demanded, turning from surprised to angry.
"You're my fiancée, I don't have to knock. You belong to me." Endymion said, eyes narrowed on Wufei.
"You don't own me Endymion…" Selenity said, glaring at him slightly.
"Speak my name with respect child." Endymion growled.
"Why should I? I have no respect for you…" Selenity said quietly.
"Why you…" Endymion started and drew his hand back, preparing to slap her across the face. A moment before his hand would have impacted with her delicate skin, a hand caught his fist.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you not to hit a lady? Especially the Princess of the Moon while she's in MY presence." Wufei said, glaring deeply at Endymion.
"Wufei!" Selenity snapped as she saw him preparing to send his own fist flying at Endymion. "That will be enough." Wufei scowled but obliged, leaving through the door.
"What the hell was he doing here?" Endymion demanded, scowling deeply at the princess.
"I asked him to come." She stated simply, sitting on the edge of her bed with her back to him.
"Look at me when I talk to you!" Endymion demanded, grabbing her roughly by the arm.
"I highly suggest you take your hand off of me right now." Selenity warned.
"Of course, your highness," Endymion said sarcastically. "Wouldn't want to bruise your delicate skin." Selenity glared at him slightly but didn't comment.
"Is that all?" Selenity asked, putting on her sweetest smile. She rose to her feet and prepared to depart from the room when he grabbed her arm and spun her around roughly.
"I'll tell you when I'm done!" Endymion growled as his grip tightened on her arms.
"Let go, you're hurting me!" Selenity cried, struggling to wiggle from his grasp only feeling his grip tighten.
"I don't care! I'm not done talking to you yet!" Endymion scowled at her, then pulled her face to his, kissing her roughly. "There was nothing special about that kiss. I can't believe I'm being forced to marry this ungrateful child."
"Just remember, this wasn't my idea!" Selenity spat. "So you better get used to it! You don't own me and never will! Even in marriage, I do not belong to you… my heart belongs to another…" Endymion pushed her away in disgust and left the room, leaving her in tears as she lay on her bed.
****
"Look at Selenity… she's so weak it's pathetic…" A voice said as she watched from a mirror. "Miyana, it is time for you to go to the palace and take your Senshi and attack the kingdom!"
"Hai okaasan-sama…" A girl Selenity's age said, bowing before the woman.
****
"Wufei!" Selenity cried as she watched him attack her kingdom. "IIE!!" She cried as she ran toward him. "Wufei-chan stop!"
"Kill Selenity-hime…" He said in a low voice as he approached her, his katana in his hand.
"D… demo, Fei-chan… ai shiteru…" She whispered as he approached her.
"Musume!" Queen Serenity cried as she ran toward them. A crystal appeared in her hands as she raised it above her head. "I won't let this happen!" Queen Serenity cried, watching as the brothers of the Inner Senshi started closing in on Selenity-hime. She raised the crystal above her head, the pink light spilling out of it covering the Princes' as well as the one calling herself 'Miyana-hime'. A blinding light flashed and…
Usagi's head flew up off of the pillow as cold sweat trailed down her back. He eyes scanned the room she was in, and her hands flew to her head as a pain ripped through it.
"So you're finally awake Usagi." A familiar voice stated. Usagi glanced over to see Mamoru placing a tray of some sort across her lap.
"N… nani? Mamoru? What the hell is going on?!?" She demanded, her eyes narrowing on him.
"I saved you, Usagi." Mamoru said simply, pouring her a glass of orange juice and handing it to her.
"Saved me? What are you talking about?!" Usagi demanded, pushing the tray away.
"Miyana-hime took over and I saved you." Mamoru stated simply.
"Why?" Usagi asked, suspicion in her voice.
"So you can fulfill your destiny." He said, pushing the tray back onto her.
"I'm not hungry! And I'm NOT going to marry you!!" Usagi shouted, anger twisting her normally beautiful features.
"Demo Usagi, it's destiny… you WILL marry me, until then, though… I'll protect you." Mamoru said, taking her hand in his own.
"Iie…" She said, pulling her hand away. "I'm going to find Wufei." She stated simply, starting to climb out of bed.
"No you're not," Mamoru said simply. "Miyana will only take over your body again and next time, you may not be able to save them."
"I'll beat her Mamoru… I won't let her take over my body again…" She said quietly.
"Now that the 'dark one' has been revealed, you're in even more danger." Mamoru said simply.
"YOU'RE the one that released him!" Usagi spat, shoving the tray away and standing up.
"What are you talking about?" Mamoru asked, confused.
"Because of that damned poison you used on Quatre!!" Usagi cried, taking a defensive stand. "I'm going to go make it right and you BETTER not interfere!"
"I really hate to do this Usagi… demo, you give me no choice." He said as he pulled a syringe from his pocket. He grabbed her roughly by the arm and jabbed it into her arm, injecting a sedative into her.
"Please Mamoru… don't do this to me…" She begged as her eyelids began to droop.
****
"I'm going after her." Wufei said simply as he stood up.
"Demo, you can't go alone!" Rei protested, taking a protective stance over her brother.
"Get out of my way onna." He said calmly, putting a gun into his pocket and grabbing his katana.
"Iie! If you're going, we're ALL going!" Rei said firmly. "We're her Senshi, we're supposed to protect her!" Wufei glared at her but agreed.
"We need a plan first." Ami said coming up behind them.
"I don't think it's a good idea for Quatre to go along," Minako said. "I mean, if he is this 'dark one' what makes you think Miyana won't wake up permanently next time?"
"Demo, I have to help!" Quatre protested.
"You're all staying here." A familiar voice said from the balcony.
