1 Chapter 7 of Sailor Moon and the Whisper of the Roses

By: Artemis M. Goddess

2 *Curtain rises to MG, Jedite, and a knocked out Darien lying on the ground, in a jail*

MG smiling broadly: "Hey yall!" she claps the cuffs onto Jedite's wrists, "Ha! Gottcha! Good always prevails!"

Darien stands up dazed: "Wha-? What happened?"

MG: "I'll tell ya later. Come on negaverse scum. Disclaimer! Now!"

Jedite pouting: "This whore doesn't own nothin'.""

*MG slaps him and throws him into a jail cell *

MG dusting off her hands: "Alright, now that that's done with and this is my last chapter, I'm going to ask you a few questions."

MG: "Ok, now for my next story I'm going to ask you what kind you want. A SM/DBZ, a SM/ZOIDS, or a DBZ story. Now send in your reveiws and the majiority will be the next story. But I must warn you that I don't know that much about Zoids so that story might take longer because I'll have to ask my friend a lot of questions."

Darien: "Um, excuse me?"

MG: "-_-* Oh, right. Well read on and I'll try to explain what happened to bright boy over hear that I almost forgot about."

"Hahahaha! Not so cocky now are you?" Jedite circled around Serena like a wild animal that had just cornered it's pray. "Now it's your turn to be trapped in an eternal prison."

"How did you get out?" Serena tried to keep her voice steady, but it cracked.

"Well, remember when Darien here was brainwashed by Queen Beryl? Well-

*Flashback *

Prince Darien strolled down the hallway. Trying to think of an idea to get the crystal from the Sailor Scouts. When he came upon a door he had not seen before.

"Well, I wonder what's in here?" He opened the door and stared into the seemingly endless room full of rows, upon rows of big lumps of black crystal.

"Hmm. So this is where she keeps her victims." He left the door ajar and wandered into the black abyss. He peered into the crystals at the frozen figures inside. He walked down one of the rows until he came to one with a man inside.

"So. Jedite." He sneered, "You failure! Ha! To bad you got punished before I joined the Queen, I missed my chance to laugh at you! Huh? What!?"

A sudden blast of black energy made Darien fall backward onto the floor. Hitting his head so hard that he passed out.

"Now," came Jedite's voice, "you will be my ticket to revenge."

*End flashback *

"After that I possessed him." continued Jedite, "I slowly drained his energy, small enough amounts so that he would not notice. I saw everything he saw. I was with him up until I finally had enough energy to control him. That's when you had that nightmare. Now my waiting will pay off."

"Uhh." Darien moaned from the ground but did not move.

"Ha. It was just to easy." He kicked Darien in his side before he turned back to Serena. "I hope you like flowers, because that's all your ever going to see from now on! Yaaaah!"

A black beam blasted into Serena. She was instantly trapped in a huge slab of black crystal.

"Hahaha!" Jedite sneered at her. "Now how does it feel?" He laughed again and sat down on the stone bench. "I think I'll take a short nap. I'll need my energy to destroy the scouts." He laid back and closed his eyes.

Serena looked around; all she could move were her eyes. A wind blew across the flowers making them sway as if with a life of their own. A soft sound like tiny bells and whispered giggles of little children drifted on the breeze.

It's so quiet here. If it wasn't under such circumstances I most likely would enjoy it and indeed it was very quiet. It seemed that in the crystal, sound was louder. That must be why every sound was so loud in that room

She listened closely to the wind, and the breathing of Darien and Jedite. A strange sound drifted to her ears. The wind blew over a patch of roses and she heard it again. It sounded like children, whispering.

"You can do it."

"You have the power inside you."

"We believe in you."

"You are the messiah. You have the power."

But I don't have the crystal Serena thought in agony.

"Inside. Feel the power inside you."

Serena felt a soft warmth in her chest. Yes, I do have the power. The crystal only focused it. I must try to use it myself She concentrated on the warmth she felt in her chest, felt it grow. The whole while the little voices encouraged her.

"Come on! You can!"

"That's it!"

"Lovely princess, you are doing it!"

Just then Jedite sat up. "What? Nooo! He sprang forward and was blow back against the bench by a blast of silver light.

Incredible energy flowed all though Serena. She felt her outfit melt into a Sailor Scout uniform. But it was different. She was Super Sailor Moon!

"What? Super Sailor Moon? This can't be! I have the crystal!" Jedite back away from her as a scepter appeared in her hand. His foot bumped into Darien who was still lying on the ground. He smirked.

"Go ahead. Kill me!" He bent down and grabbed Darien. He hauled him up in front of him. "But you'll have to kill him to!"

Serena hesitated. But again she heard the voices of the roses whispering to her. Even though she was no longer trapped in the black crystal.

"You must!"

"We will help you."

"The prince in of us."

"So trust us and do what you must."

"He will be safe."

"Alright." She said aloud. She aimed her scepter at a now trembling Jedite.

"Imperial…"

"You wouldn't kill him!"

"Moon…"

"You can't!"

"Cosmic…"

"Nooo!"

"Planet power!"

After the blinding light faded Serena looked at where Jedite and Darien had been; now vacant.

Tears started stinging Serena's eyes. I killed him. Now what?

"As we promised." Serena looked in the direction of the voice and gasped in joy as she saw Darien standing in the roses.

Running as fast as she could and through herself into his arms. "Thank you." She whispered.

"We love you Prince and Princess. We will miss you." Suddenly everything blurred and shifted. The next thing either of them knew they were standing in front of Rei's temple.

"Serena!" all the scouts shouted with joy as they saw their Prince and Princess holding each other.

"Where is the crystal?" asked Venus.

Before Serena could answer it appeared out of thin air; glowing right in front of her.

"This rightfully belongs to you Princess." Came the little children voices.

"Thank you." She whispered.

Later on during the celebration, Artemis jumped up onto the table and cleared his throat loudly to get everyone's attention.

"Ahem. I would like to announce…" he faltered slightly but continued. "that I have proposed to Luna and-"

"And I said yes." Luna jumped up beside him and nuzzled against him.

"Yay!" Everyone cheered and there was renewed energy in the party.

*Elsewhere *

"Celebrate while you can Sailor Scouts. You won't be so happy when I come for you! Mua ha ha ha!"

~The End~

So? Did you like my story? I must confess that I really have no plans for a sequel. I just added that part for drama. But you never know! I may just get inspired to continue. Don't forget to state what you want for the next story. ^_^ I already have some ideas but I must decide by what the public wants.

Now if you remember in chapter 2 Artemis asked me for something? Well that was it. He wanted to marry Luna. ^_^ Don't you just think they are the cutest couple?

A special thanks to all those who reviewed! I love you all and if I could I would give you an award or something! But, alas, all I can give you is a picture of it:
