Usual disclaimer: Sailor Moon and Gargoyles aren't mine. So don't sue. Hi. Sorry I haven't written in a while been kinda busy with school. I have to say that I am sad. Why? You ask. Because I don't get any mail. If you really like my story please SEND MAIL! I also would like to thank all those that did send me mail. You know who you are. :-) Now on with the story.
Chapter 4: Avalon Lends a Hand! The Birth of Shadow Wing!
"We had best get back to the castle. We need time to find out more about this Rubeus and Weird Sister," said Brooklyn. "Could you bring Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask with you, Elisa?"
The sound of her name being called brought Elisa out of her daze.
"Uh, sure, Brooklyn. No prob," said Elisa.
Sailor Moon looked from Elisa toward Tuxedo Mask. If no one understands what you're going through Elisa, I do. thought Sailor Moon. She walked toward Elisa and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Elisa. We will get Goliath back, even if we have to dust the entire NegaMoon," said Sailor Moon.
Elisa looked into the eyes of Sailor Moon and her friends. All she saw was sheer determination.
"Thank you. But I'm not that worried. If I know Goliath he's probably giving them hell," laughed Elisa. "Guys, you better get going before that guy wakes up."
"Okay, Elisa. We'll meet up with you at the castle," said Angela.
Elisa watched as the gargoyles that had been her friends for two years climbed to the warehouse roof and made themselves airborne, heading toward the castle that was their home. All the while she was thinking of Goliath. Give them hell, Big Guy. Give them hell.
Breaking out of her reverie, she turned toward Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask whom now stood as Serena and Darien.
"Come on, you two. My car's right outside."
/Meanwhile on Rubeus' Ship/
"What do you want with me!" shouted Goliath as he looked at the darkness that was the Wiseman.
"I want you with all your rage and strength and I will have it," said the Wiseman.
Goliath growled with eyes aglow at the Wiseman. Inwardly, he was worried. This was an evil he had never before faced. Mostly, he was worried about Elisa. 'Oh, Elisa. What am I going to do?'
Give them hell, Big Guy. Give them hell.
"Elisa?" whispered Goliath. 'Was that her or just my imagination?' he thought. The Wiseman soon interrupted those thoughts.
"Who is this Elisa?" questioned Wiseman. His question was answered with silence.
"No matter. After I am through with you, you won't even remember your pathetic clan or this Elisa."
'Not remember the clan? Elisa? I won't let that happen!' thought Goliath.
"Now you will serve the forces of the NegaMoon," said the Wiseman
As the Wiseman's words were spoken, a beam of dark energy hit Goliath. Roars of pain and agony could be heard as Goliath struggled to maintain his will.
'He is stronger than I thought. Well, no matter, he will soon succumb to the power of the NegaMoon... to my power.'
The changes in Goliath were noticeable. His coloring changed from its lavender to the darkest purple, that was almost black. His eyes turned from brown to fully white.
"Come forth, Shadow Wing," said Wiseman.
"I am here master," said Goliath, now Shadow Wing.
"I have a job for you," said Wiseman.
"Whatever you wish," said Shadow Wing.
/Meanwhile in Elisa's Car/
As the three were riding to the castle, Elisa noticed something in the air. Tension. The air was so thick with it you could put a knife through it. Twenty minutes went by Elisa decide the silence was too much.
"So, Darien, what do you do for work?" asked Elisa.
"I am a student at Juuban University. I work for movie studio running errands and such. I also work free-lance for a newspaper writing weekend editorials," said Darien.
"My dad told me that there was a person named Darien that did great work on the paper. That was you? I didn't know you wrote at the paper," said Serena.
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me, Serena," said Darien.
'Why is he being so cold to her? If I didn't know better, you'd think he hated her,' thought Elisa.
'Why don't you love me, Darien? What did you see in me that made you stop loving me?' thought Serena.
'I am so sorry, Serena. This is the only way to keep you safe until I can figure out what that dream means,' thought Darien.
After Darien, seemingly so cool, remarked towards Serena, the drive became quick as a mouse. It remained that way until they finally arrived at the castle.
"Whoa! This is where the gargoyles live? Amazing!" said Darien.
Elisa gave Darien her trademark smile. "Just wait until you see the Castle."
The three entered the building with Elisa making a casual wave to the guard at the front desk as they made their way to the elevator.
The ride to the castle was a long silent trip. The three barely looked at each other throughout the entire ride. Upon arriving at the castle, Owen Burnett greeted them.
"Detective, Miss Tsukino. Who may this be accompanying you?" inquired Owen.
"Owen, this is-," started Serena.
"Darien Chiba," said Darien holding his hand out to Owen. Owen looked at his hand strangely. When it appeared the gesture wasn't going to be reciprocated, he pulled back his hand.
"The clan awaits you in the courtyard," said Owen.
"Thanks. Oh, and Owen?" said Elisa.
"Yes, Detective Maza?"
"It may be time Alex has a lesson. An information finding lesson. Meet us in the courtyard, if you please," said Elisa.
"I will see what I can do, Detective," said Owen. He then turned and walked down the hall toward the nursery.
Darien turned toward Elisa with confusion written on his face. "What was that all about?" asked Darien.
"That, hopefully, will be the answers to our questions about this NegaMoon family," said Elisa.
Though Darien was still confused, he left the subject closed. Elisa led the group through the castle to the courtyard. The sight that greeted them was shocking. The gargoyles that had been her friends for two years, looked as though all hope was gone.
"Guys, why are you looking like this?" questioned Elisa.
"Well, I would think it would be quite obvious why we are looking like this, Elisa. Goliath is gone and we have absolutely no idea as to how we will get him back," said Brooklyn.
Elisa's facial expression was first one of shock. Shock that a friend of hers would just snap at her like that. That shock soon turned to anger. "Well, Brooklyn, in case you haven't noticed we are all worried about Goliath, especially me, but I know that we will get him back," yelled Elisa, her face turning a darker shade of red.
"I am sorry, Elisa. I guess that I have been a little stressed out over this whole thing," said Brooklyn.
"S'okay, Brooklyn. I understand exactly how you feel," said Elisa. Though, they didn't know it. There was also another person who knew exactly how Elisa really was feeling. Serena. She had went though the same pain when Beryl had Darien.
"Oh, cut the dramatics," called a voice. Suddenly, there was a bright flash, a light so bright that the clan had to cover their eyes. When the light finally dimmed, there stood in its place two figures. The first was a baby with fire red hair. The second was what seemed to be an elf with waist-length white hair.
"So we finally get to meet the infamous Sailor Scouts and their guardian, Tuxedo Mask," said the one with the white hair.
"I am sure everybody else knows the answer to this question, but who are you?" asked Darien.
"Oh, I'm shocked. They haven't mentioned me. Well, allow me to introduce myself. I am Puck the trickster and this strikingly handsome young man here is Alex Xanatos," said Puck.
"Puck! Cut to the chase. Why are you here?" demanded Raye.
"Yeah, we don't have time for your tricks," said Brooklyn.
"Well, for your information I was invited to this little shindig by the beautiful Elisa Maza," said Puck. All eyes soon turned to Elisa.
"Flattery will get you no where, Puck. The only reason I asked is because you are the only one that can help us find Goliath," said Elisa.
"I knew there was someone missing. Where is the big giloot anyway?" asked Puck.
"The NegaMoon family have him, and if you would quit joking around we might be able to find out where they have him!" screamed Lita.
"Ok, ok! No need to get hysterical. First, Alex will need a body," said Puck.
"Why?" asked Darien. This was the first thing he had said since the appearance of the faerie.
"This is a very big spell and it helps to concentrate on the spell when spoken aloud. As you could probably tell Alex can't talk yet. So, do I have a volunteer?" questioned Puck. Only silence greeted his question. Serena noticed that not one person volunteered.
"I will do it," said Serena. All eyes turned to her.
"Are you sure, Serena? I mean, I can do it. Alex is probably used to me from the last time," said Lexington.
"That's okay, Lex. I think this will be an interesting experience," smiled Serena. The scouts, on the other hand, weren't so sure about it.
"Okay, but I swear if she is hurt in any way, Puck. No one will be able to save you from us," said Lita.
"I promise she won't be hurt," said Puck. He then looked down at the baby in his arms. "Now, Alex, remember the soul transference spell I taught you? No? Well, just think what I say okay?"
'For the spirit to be willing,
The flesh must first grow weak.
Just long enough for soul in flight,
To pass from cheek to cheek.'
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, a blue-green mist surrounded the baby. This mist flew out of Puck's arms and straight into Serena's mouth. Then Darien and the girls gasped as Serena was surrounded by a blue-green glow.
"Serena?" asked Mina.
"Hi. I am Alex. Are you friends?"
"Yes, Alex. They are friends. But we need your help," said Elisa.
"What's wrong, Auntie Elisa?" said Alex. Elisa cringed at being called 'auntie'. The clan was trying as hard as they could to keep from laughing, with little success.
"Uncle Puck is going to teach you a spell that will help us get some information on the NegaMoon family and maybe find out where Goliath is being kept."
"Uncle Goliath is in trouble? Of course, I will help."
"The baby has more courage than the Meatball Head," muttered Raye.
"Shh!" hissed Lita.
"Okay, Alex I want you to repeat after me:
Avalon's magic ever divine
I request a moment of your time
Information I ask of thee
Tell us about this NegaMoon family
The air around the group turned into a green mist.
"What's going on?" asked Darien.
"Relax. It's just the spell doing its job," said Puck.
"THE NEGAMOON FAMILY CONSISTS OF SIX MEMBERS: CATSY," said a voice talking through Serena/Alex. The voice seemed to be that of a man one moment, then that of a woman the next. A picture of a woman with purple hair in a cat-like style dressed in a purple tutu dress suddenly appeared. "IS THE ELDEST. HER POWERS INVOLVE BLUE ICE FIRE. HER MATCH IS SAILOR MARS,"
"PRISMA," A picture of a woman with green hair dressed in a black mini skirt appeared in the mist. "IS THE SECOND ELDEST. HER POWERS INVOLVE BLACK LIGHTENING. HER MATCH IS SAILOR JUPITER."
"AVERY," it continued as a picture of a woman with brown hair fitted into a bun dressed in a gold and red outfit appeared in the mist. "IS THE SECOND YOUNGEST. HER POWERS INVOLVE A LEATHER WHIP. HER MATCH IS SAILOR VENUS."
"BERTIE.." A picture of Bertie's face appeared. "IS THE YOUNGEST. HER POWERS INVOLVE STREAMS OF ICE. HER MATCH IS SAILOR MERCURY."
"RUBEUS..." A picture of a man with red hair dressed in a red vest and green pants appeared. "RUBEUS IS THE COMMANDER OF THEIR MISSION. HIS POWERS ARE UNKNOWN. HIS MATCH IS UNKNOWN. POSSIBLE MATCH IS SAILOR MOON."
"WISEMAN," an image of a dark figure in a cloak appeared in the mists. "WISEMAN IS THE LEADER OF THE OF THE NEGAMOON. HIS POWERS ARE UNKNOWN. HIS IS MATCH IS UNKNOWN. POSSIBLE MATCH IS UNKNOWN."
"Okay, now we know who we're up against. What's this mission?" asked Mina.
"THE MISSION IS TO CONQUER THE UNIVERSE."
"Like that's new," said Raye.
"If that is their goal, why haven't they taken over already?" inquired Lexington.
"It's simple. Rini said that there are Scouts in the future. They must still protect the Earth," said Amy.
"The future?" muttered Elisa.
"YES, THE NEGAMOON FAMILY ARE FROM EARTH'S FUTURE. WHILE THE BATTLE STILL RAGES IN CRYSTAL TOKYO, THEY ARE HERE TO CAPTURE RINI, THE SILVER CRYSTAL, AND CRYSTAL POINTS,"
"Speaking of Rini, who is her mother? It is the most logical decision to protect her because she seems to be the key to this puzzle," said Amy.
"I CANNOT TELL YOU. THE BATTLE AHEAD WILL TELL THAT TALE. BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS. SERENA KNOWS THE TRUTH DEEP IN HER SOUL, ALL SHE HAS TO DO IS ACKNOWLEDGE IT. THERE IS ONE LAST THING I MUST SAY BEFORE I LEAVE," said the voice through Serena. Turning toward Elisa, the voice continued. "ELISA, DO NOT LOSE FAITH. GOLIATH IS WITH THE NEGAVERSE. THOUGH HE MAY HAVE CHANGED, HIS HEART NEVER WILL."
"Thank you for your help, but I'm not about to give up on Goliath yet. We really appreciate it," said Elisa.
"MY PLEASURE. OH, AND PUCK?"
"Yes?"
"I WOULD CLASSIFY THIS AS PROTECTING ALEX. THEY ARE GOING TO NEED ALL THE HELP THEY CAN GET. WITH THAT SAID I BID YOU FAREWELL FRIENDS AND CHILDREN OF AVALON." With that the mist around the group disappeared to reveal the early morning sky.
"Uncle Puck, I feel kinda tired." Suddenly, a green-blue mist shot out of Serena's mouth into Puck's arms. As soon as the mist was out of her mouth, she collapsed. All the scouts and gargoyles flooded around her.
There was only one person that was not at her side. Darien. He felt torn. Every time he looked at or touched Serena he had that same vision of her dying. 'I'm tried of doing this to you, Serena, but I must to keep you safe,' he thought. Quietly, he slipped back into the castle.
Unknown to Darien, someone watched his escape. 'What's up with him? He acted as though he was struggling with something. I'm curious as to why he isn't over here with Serena. Well, I plan to find out,' thought Elisa as she left the group to find Darien. She didn't have to look for long. She found him in the kitchen sitting at the table with his head on his hands. Darien must have been deep in thought because he didn't hear her approach until she made herself known.
"What's wrong, Darien?" She watched as Darien's body jumped slightly out of the chair.
"Nothing is wrong," replied Darien.
"Well, I don't believe that. I know something is wrong and it's got something to do with Serena, doesn't it?" analyzed Elisa.
"Mind your own business. I don't have time to be psychoanalyzed by you."
"Why didn't you go to see if she was alright? She could've been unconscious. You wouldn't care if she was in a coma, would you? I bet you wouldn't care if she were dead, hmph some love. I don't think you ever loved Serena. She would probably be--"
"You don't know what you're talking about! I love Serena more than life itself," he angrily shouted.
'Reverse psychology. Works every time,' smirked Elisa. "Ahhh, so I was right. I saw the way you were looking at her. It was a look of struggle, longing, as if your heart was being torn apart. Why are you doing this to her? Being so cold when you say you love her?" questioned Elisa. Silence was her reply. 'It can't be to be too hard to figure out. He is so like Goliath, so he might think like Goliath. Okay, Maza, you're the detective think of what Goliath would do.' It took her a few minutes, but then it hit her.
"You're trying to her protect her, aren't you?" suggested Elisa.
Darien lowered his head, never answering her question.
"Well, I guess that's a yes. What are you protecting her from, Darien?" leaned Elisa in front of Darien's face.
"Why should I tell you, anyway? I don't even know you," said Darien as he looked strangely at the woman that was right in front of him.
"Darien, you could either tell me or I know of four girls and a few gargoyles that will be very upset with you when I tell why you are hurting their friend. And believe me.. you don't want to see one angry gargoyle, let alone six of them," threatened Elisa.
That thought actually got Darien thinking. He remembered how the red gargoyle that he now knew as Brooklyn became angry when he saw Goliath abducted. Just thinking of that times six scared him.
"Okay, okay. I will tell you, but promise that you will not reveal what I am about to tell you to Serena or her friends," commented Darien.
Elisa sat considering what he said. 'Maybe I can help him with his problem.' "Okay. I promise."
Darien began to tell Elisa of the dreams that had plagued him ever since Rini had appeared. That it was a warning telling him that if he got close to Serena that she would die. He also told her of the extremes he went to avoid her, including breaking up with her.
"Darien, I see what you are trying to do, but from what I know of Serena, it's not going to work very well," suggested Elisa.
"Oh. And why is that?"
"Let me tell you what I have learned from my experiences with the gargoyles," said Elisa, avoiding the question. "I have learned that secrets, no matter how good they're kept, come out. And when they do, it can become more dangerous than the secrets themselves. Also I think you underestimate Serena. She has a big heart. Those with that big of a heart, can't be hurt by demons or monsters, but by the ones they love," said Elisa. Quietly, Elisa stood from her seat and left Darien to think about what she had said.
'Could what she says be true? Could my keeping this to myself put Serena in more danger? I think I will tell her. If we end this here in Manhattan with the gargoyles helping to protect her, we can be together again. Without any worries. But the main problem. Will she forgive me?'
/Meanwhile in the Courtyard/
"What happened to her, Puck!" screamed Lita as she inched closer and closer toward the faerie. She leaped at him only to catch air in the place the faerie had once been.
"I don't have any idea what happened to her. If you want to find out you will have to ask Serena herself. Now if you will excuse me, I have to put Master Alex to bed," said Owen.
Frustrated, Lita turned back toward the group surrounding Serena.
"How is she, Amy?" questioned Angela.
"She will be fine. She should be coming out of it in a few minutes. But what concerns me is what Avalon said. The fact that Serena knows the truth about Rini," said Amy.
"Yeah. I wonder what the old meatball head has kept from us this time," said Raye.
"You mean, Serena has kept something this important from you before?" asked Lexington.
"Well, you can say that she's stubborn by nature. She always tries to solve the problem herself. If she can't solve it, she hides it," explained Mina.
Groaning, Serena started to come around. "Mmm, mmm. What happened guys? Why am I on the ground?" inquired a confused Serena.
"You fainted after Alex left your body. I do believe an explanation is needed for us to understand what happened. What is the last you remember before you fainted?" asked Amy.
"Well, I remember listening to Avalon tell us about Avery and Alex saying that he was tired and couldn't go on. I was urging him to stay awake and then I offered some of my energy to Alex. I guess it was too much, huh?" Serena looked uneasily at the four scouts.
Before, any of the scouts or gargoyles could get in a word two loud yowls could be heard from the corridor. There stood Elisa holding two very angry cats. "Sorry, Luna, Artemis, but you shouldn't be standing out in the open where somebody can step on your tails."
The group laughed at the misfortune of the cats, some glad for the release of tension.
"Well, lads and lasses 'tis time to sleep. I do suggest you do the same," said Hudson as the sun started to rise.
"Will do, Hudson," said Elisa.
"Wait! Brooklyn!" called Mina, as she quickly caught up to the gargoyle on his perch.
"What is it, Mina?"
"I just wanted to say goodnight-um good day. Oh whatever. I just wanted to say have a good rest,"
Chuckling at his secret love's confusion, "I am sure I will sleep like stone." Before he realized what was happening, Mina jumped into his arms and their lips touched. 'Her lips are as soft as a feather. I still can't believe this beauty is in my arms.'
'He feels so alien, yet so good. Guess he feels the same about me as I do about him.' As soon as the kiss was over the sun rose over the horizon leaving Brooklyn frozen in stone with his mouth and eyes closed. Mina slowly opened her eyes and looked into the face of her stone love.
"Woo, hoo! Way to go, Mina!" shouted Serena.
"You go girl! You sure landed a good one," said Raye.
"It's a pity actually. He looks like my-"
"OLD BOYFRIEND!" all the girls shouted.
"Actually, he couldn't look like your old boyfriend. He isn't even human," stated Amy.
"Come on, girls. I think that it's time you got some sleep. We're gonna need it," said Elisa.
"Yes, mother," said the girls.
"Yeah, well, while you rest. I have to explain to the captain and Matt why I ran out on my shift. Matt, I can handle. The captain... Oh it's going to be a looong day.
/Meanwhile in Tokyo/
The Tsukinos were eating dinner when there came a knock at the door. Irene got up to answer it and was greeted with a shadowy figure. The figure stood over six feet tall. His face (yes, she could tell by the height that it was a man) was hidden in the shadows of the night. His body was also hidden by what seemed to be a cape.
"Excuse me, madam, but would you happen to have seen this child recently?" questioned the man. Yes, his deep voice confirmed her suspicions. Irene looked at the picture the man held in front of her "Of course, I recognize the child; it is my niece, Rini."
"Yes, if you'll wait here, I'll get her-" she turned to go get Rini.
"That's okay, madam. I'll get her myself," interrupted the man. What she thought to be a cape unfolded to become wings. The man stepped out of the shadows to reveal purple skin with talons instead of fingers and toes. Irene screamed at the sight of the creature before her.
Ken heard his wife's screams and rushed out to found out what was the matter. The sight that welcomed him nearly scared him out of his mind. There was his wife in the arms of a strange creature. He grabbed the closest thing he could use as a weapon, which turned out to be a vase. Ken moved to attack the creature but didn't make it that far before he was knocked into the wall by its tail. Sammy heard the struggle and quickly grabbed Rini and ran to hide. Sammy ran through the sliding glass door and into the backyard.
"Sammy, what's going on? Why do you look so scared? You're scaring me," Rini cried, whom Sammy was indeed scaring by his sudden actions.
"There's a monster in the living room. We need to find a place to hide until the Sailor Scouts get here. Do you have any idea of where we could hide?" asked Sammy.
"Yeah. Up there," Rini pointed to the top of a tree near Serena's window. "It's so dark out here it probably won't see us," said Rini.
"Okay, let's start climbing." The two made it up the tree in record time.
In the House
Shadow Wing was swiftly searching each room and closet, but still no Rabbit. When the phone started to ring he quickly knocked it off the hook. 'The 'rabbit' must have gotten away. No matter. Now that I know where she is staying I can get her whenever the master wishes. With the Sailor Scouts in America, there is no one that can stop me.'
Then Shadow Wing's body began to phase until there was no evidence of his visit.
Seconds later, the scouts came rushing in through the door. Their faces paled at the sight. Irene was lying on the carpet floor and Ken's body was lying up against the wall.
"Mercury, check them out and see if they're okay. Everybody, fan out and see if you can find Sammy and Rini," ordered Sailor Moon.
"Right!" said the scouts.
Flashback 5 minutes ago in New York
I think I better call mom and dad to check on how they're doing. Dinner should be over by now. Serena picked up the phone and dialed her number. The operator message said that number was disconnected. Serena started to really have a bad feeling about this. Oh no! Rini!
She ran into the hall and to each of the scouts' rooms.
"Guys, we need to get to my house," said Serena.
"Why, meatball head? I'm tired and need my beauty rest."
"This is serious, Raye. I just called my house and the operator said the number was disconnected. What if something has happened to my family or Rini?"
"Okay, calm down, Serena. We'll just Sailor Teleport over there and back before anyone knows we're gone," said Mina.
"Thanks, guys," said Serena. She still a bad feeling that something had happened.
The girls quickly transformed and gathered in a circle.
"MERCURY STAR POWER!" Sailor Mercury's body was surrounded by blue energy.
"MARS STAR POWER!" Sailor Mars' body was surrounded by red energy.
"JUPITER STAR POWER!" Sailor Jupiter's body was surrounded by green energy.
"VENUS STAR POWER!" Sailor Venus' body was surrounded by yellow energy.
"MOON CRYSTAL POWER!" Sailor Moon's body was surrounded by pink energy.
"SAILOR TELEPORT!" Their bodies became transparent as they teleported to Tokyo and more importantly, Serena's house.
/The Tsukino House/
"Mercury, are they alright?" questioned Sailor Moon.
"Yes, they should come out of it in a few minutes," said Sailor Mercury.
"Okay, help the others search. I am going to check the backyard. They might have found a place to hide back there," said Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon walked into the backyard, only to be bombarded by blur of pink. She looked down to find Rini crying into her waist.
"Oh, Rini. Are you alright?" said Sailor Moon.
"Yes, I am thanks to Sammy. I think those bad people from the NegaMoon hurt Aunt Irene and Uncle Ken. Are they okay?" asked the crying girl.
"Yes, are mom and dad okay?" asked Sammy.
"Yes. They are okay. Sailor Mercury is checking them out now. Sammy," Sailor Moon looked toward her little brother. Pride shone in her eyes.
"Thanks. You were brave and smart for getting Rini to safety."
"Aww. It was nothing. It really was Rini's idea to hide in the tree," said Sammy.
"Oh. Come on, let's get inside, and check on your parents," said Sailor Moon.
As soon as the three walked in the door, the children were ambushed by two joyous parents.
"Oh, Rini, Sammy, you're alright, aren't you? You're not hurt, are you?" asked Irene.
"Mom! I'm fine. Please stop hugging me!" screamed Sammy. The scouts all had a laugh from the scene he put on.
"Mr. and Mrs. Tsukino, do you know why you were attacked?" asked Sailor Mars.
"Yes! It seemed to be after my niece Rini. The creature was a dark purple, stood over six feet, and had wings and a tail," described Ken.
The scouts paled when they heard the description of Goliath.
"Listen, I want you to go and stay at a relative's
house. We will take care of Rini. It is in your best interest.
That is,"
Sailor Moon turned the little girl, "if it is okay with
you, Rini?"
"Yes, Sailor Moon. I would feel safe if you were protecting me," said Rini.
"Okay, now that, that is settled. Will you take my advice?" she asked, turning to her parents.
"Yes, but we will have to tell Serena. She will be worried-," started Irene, but Jupiter cut her off.
"Call her when you get to the relative's house. It will save time,"
"Thank you," said Ken. They went upstairs with Rini to pack. Meanwhile the scouts were having their own conversation.
"Serena, do you have spaghetti for brains along with the meatballs! How are we suppose to take care of Rini in New York?"
"Well, pyro, I did it for a reason. I think that it is time to tell Rini who we are. She has a right to know who her protectors are. Let's put it to a vote. All in agreement?" Sailor Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Moon raised their hands. "All opposed?" Sailor Mars' hand was the only hand to be raised.
"It is agreed, we tell Rini," said Sailor Moon.
Just as their discussion was finished, the family came downstairs with suitcases and bags.
"Sailor Moon, here is Rini's bag. I don't know why, but I feel as though I can trust you with her," said Kevin
"You can, sir. I will protect her with my life. I'm just sorry you got mixed up in this," said Sailor Moon.
"It's not your fault, dear. Even you can be everywhere at once. You know, you kinda remind me of my daughter, always willing to help," said Irene.
"I think it's imperative that your family be leaving before the monster returns," said Sailor Mercury.
"Yes," Irene kneeled down in front of Rini. "Rini, honey, I want you to promise me that you will obey Sailor Moon. Will you do that?" ask Irene.
"I promise, Aunt Irene. I'll be good," Irene looked and saw that the child was sincere or at least as sincere a child of five could look. Irene had to smile.
"With that said and done, we will bid you farewell. Sayonara Sailor Scouts and thank you," said Kevin as he and the rest of his family went out the door.
'Sayonara to you too, my family and be well,' thought Sailor Moon. With a sigh, she turned to the Scouts.
"Okay, everyone gather around Rini," Everybody did as she commanded.
"Ready?"
"Ready!"
"MERCURY STAR POWER!" Sailor Mercury's body began to glow a pale blue.
"MARS STAR POWER!" Sailor Mars' body began to glow a pale red.
"JUPITER STAR POWER!" Sailor Jupiter's body began to glow a pale green.
"VENUS STAR POWER!" Sailor Venus' body began to glow a pale orange.
"MOON CRYSTAL POWER!" Sailor Moon's body began to glow a pale pink.
"SAILOR TELEPORT!" With the last word the bodies of the girls faded out of existence.
/New York-12:25 p.m./
A light flashed in the Great Hall of Castle Wyvern. When the light faded, there stood five exhausted Scouts and one totally amazed and confused little girl.
"Where are we?" questioned Rini.
"Before that question can be answered, there is something you must know, but you must swear in the name of the Moon to never reveal this information," said Sailor Moon. The scouts looked at Sailor Moon as if she had lost her mind.
"I swear in the name of the Moon," said Rini. Before Rini's eyes the Scouts detransformed into her five friends that were supposed to be in America.
"YOU ARE THE SAILOR SCOUTS!" shouted Rini.
Well, it took long enough for this to come some of you may have said. I would like to thank Lisette, author of the Talika Series (a Gargoyles story series), for proofing this part of my story.
