Digital Moon- Chapter 4

Author: Sorry!!!!! I would have updated sooner, but I went on vacation for a while and the reviews were coming faster than I could type! A HUGE thanks to Nick for the email. Definitely inspiring. But the rest of you need to come up with more interesting reviews! Kidding! This story kinda jumps ahead now. There's an explanation right after the disclaimer. You NEED to read it if you want to understand the story! Clear? Okay then, time for me to stop rambling.

Disclaimer: I own both Sailor Moon and Digimon. I am also the first lesbian female President of the United States.

EXPLAINATION:

It's been four years since Serena joined the DigiDestined. She now lives with Tai and Kari. Her appearance has changed little else. Events progressed almost exactly as they do in the TV show. Exceptions: Serena healed Kari when she got sick with that fever, the Digimon were pretty sure that she had increased their energy levels and the strength of their attacks, Ken had a way easier time dealing with his guilt thanks to Serena, and she provided a bit of guidance to the others. So, it was pretty much just an occasional reminder of why she joined the team. That's about it for changes. This now picks up during the last episode of the second season. The gang is just returning to their own world after defeating MaloMyotismon. And Mimi went back to Japan with the others, she wanted to visit with them.

As their families stared in awe, the DigiDestined walked through the portal. They resembled a weary yet victorious army. Then Davis tripped. The atmosphere improved now that the tension had been broken.

"Typical Davis," laughed Tai as he helped the younger boy to his feet.

"Um, guys," Yolei called. "The gateway is still open." No one else had realized that the door leading to a Dream World had yet to close.

Izzy spoke up, "Intriguing. I had expected an immediate closure of the gate. It appears my calculations were inaccurate. But the question still remains as to how we close it." The redheaded genius whipped out his laptop and began to type at an incredible speed.

Serena sighed and said, "I'll handle it." She reached for the brooch that was always fastened to the front of her shirt. Concentrating, Serena aimed the piece of jewelry at the hole. A beam of white light flashed from locket to portal. The door to the Dream World collapsed in on itself. Serena noticed the surprised looks of those around her. "What?" she asked innocently. The DigiDestined just shook their heads.

Sora's mother wondered, "Why don't the other children have that kind of power?"

Before any of the kids had a chance to reply, a voice spoke from the trees behind them. "It is because Serena is not a DigiDestined. She is much more than that." They all turned as the mysterious person stepped out of the shadows. It was a woman with long green hair who wore an incredibly short skirt and a bodysuit. She held a tall staff in her hand.

Matt stepped up. "Who are you and what do you want with our friend?" he demanded.

Serena pushed past him and her face lit up at the sight of the woman. "Pluto!"

The woman, apparently Pluto, bowed down on one knee. "Hello, your Highness."

Serena sighed. "Honestly! I haven't seen you in four years. Get off your knees and give me a hug! And stop referring to me as 'Highness'!"

The two embraced as those around them stared. "Serena, why is she calling you royalty?" asked Mimi.

The blond girl turned to face those on the mountain. "I guess I have some explaining to do, huh? Why don't we go inside? This is gonna take a while."

Once everyone was comfortable, Serena took a deep breath and began talking. "You've all heard of the Sailor Scouts, right? Well, this is Sailor Pluto, Guardian of the Gates of Time. Hmm, I guess I better just tell you the story of the Sailors." For the next few minutes, Serena told them of the Moon Kingdom and how the Scouts where reborn on Earth. She told them of all the battles and enemies that they had faced, though all from the third person's point of view. Serena ended by telling of the Scouts betrayal and how Sailor Moon departed to places unknown.

"Okay," said Joe. "But what does all of this have to do with you?"

Serena took a deep breath. "Well, you see, I…. I'm Sailor Moon." When she realized the skepticism of those in the room, she told them, "All right then. I'll prove it. Moon Cosmic Dream Action!" Serena was surround by bright light, which faded away to reveal Sailor Moon. Mimi wasted no time in fainting. "Aw, shit!" muttered Serena, as she picked up the unconscious girl and laid her on the couch. "Why do they always do that?"

Pluto glanced at the young princess. "Is that really acceptable language for Lunarian royalty?"

"Uh, the DigiDestined have been a bad influence on me?" Sailor Moon said hopefully.

The Time Guardian would have continued, but it was then that Mimi woke up. "I had the freakiest dream! Serena was… oh. That was real?" Serena nodded and detransformed, realizing that the others would be more comfortable that way.

"So what you're saying," Cody asked, "is that you are not only Sailor Moon, but Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom as well? But that would mean that everything in your story… happened to you!" Everyone stared at Serena as they realized the truth of that statement, while the girl herself just looked incredibly sad.

"Wait a sec!" TK exclaimed. "If you're really her, shouldn't you be older?"

Pluto explained, "When Serena was sent to you, her age was reversed by several years to allow her to better fit in. She is actually 19."

"Now that you mention it, Pluto," Serena said slowly. "I wouldn't mind being returned to my normal age." Pluto smiled knowingly and, with a wave of her Garnet Rod, Serena grew into her 19-year-old self.

"Wow," breathed Ken. "You're… gorgeous!" Serena blushed and turned away as the others (even some of the Digimon) commented upon her looks.

Suddenly, Serena thought of something. She turned to Pluto and asked, "Why now? Usually, when you pop up out of nowhere, you bring bad news. So, what is it this time?"

The green-haired woman looked slightly uncomfortable. "Well, it seems that we have a powerful enemy trying to take over the world."

"And how is this any different from all the other ones?" Serena asked.

"This time, it's a little different. It seems that a Digimon, by the name of Devimon, has forged an alliance with the Negaverse."

Serena stared at her. "Are you telling me that Devimon and Beryl have teamed up?!" When Pluto nodded, Serena fell to the floor in a dead faint.

"I had hoped she'd take it better than this," Pluto muttered as she moved Serena to the couch.

A little later, Serena awoke with a groan. Sitting up, she said to Pluto, "I suppose this is why you chose to send me here. You knew that this would happen. You wanted me to know about Digimon. Am I correct?" Pluto just nodded. Serena stood, "Then we must go get rid of them."

Pluto stared at the floor. "Serena? We can't exactly just take them on by ourselves."

"She's right," Tai said. He glanced at the other DigiDestined. "We're helping." There were nods of agreement all around.

Serena considered for a moment. "All right. But are you sure? Okay, we'll kick their evil asses together! Sorry, Pluto," she apologized for her language.

"It's okay," Pluto assured. "But there's just one other thing…."

Serena sighed. "What is it?"

"If we are going to beat them…. we'll need the Inner Scouts." Pluto flinched at the glare that was shot at her.

"WHAT?! Have you suddenly gone insane? Did you forget what they did? Total. Betrayal. And now you want me to just forget?!" Serena was starting to get hysterical and rather frightening.

"Unfortunately, we NEED them. Will you at least talk with them? Maybe you'll only give some of them back their powers." Pluto was really trying to get her Princess to calm down.

Fortunately, Serena had matured considerably over the past four years. She took a deep breath and whispered, "All right. Arrange for ALL of the Scouts and Darien to meet tomorrow in the woods behind the temple at our usual time. You may tell the Outers what is happening. But I don't want the others to know. Just tell them something to get them to the meeting. I wanna surprise them." Serena had a wicked gleam in her eye as she spoke that last sentence.

Pluto smiled at her. "Of course. But before I leave, there is something I want to show you." Now Pluto had that wicked look. She gestured with her hand and a small portal opened beside her. Through it came… Rini?!

"Mommy!" the pink-haired girl shouted as she ran into Serena's arms. Both were sobbing as they held each other close.

"'Mommy?'" echoed the DigiDestined.

Izzy stared at the two meatball heads. "So, she would be the daughter Serena told us about. But seeing as she is no longer involved with Darien, how can Rini exist?"

Serena gazed at Pluto. "Good question."

"I'm honestly not sure! She just showed up at the Gates!" Pluto defended. Serena looked to her future child for confirmation.

"A few days ago, Mommy told me that I had to leave. That I was supposed to go to the Gates of Time. She looked so sad…"

Serena looked up at Pluto. "Do you think maybe she knew what was happening and wanted to save Rini?"

"It's possible," Pluto said thoughtfully. "The NeoQueen was always very perceptive."

"Alright then. You better go and arrange the meeting. We all need to go home and get some rest," Serena said, with a yawn.

"How do you plan to get to the temple?" Pluto asked.

Serena smiled. "Don't worry, we'll find a way," she said with a glance at the Digimon.

Realization dawned on Pluto's face. With a smile, she said, "Then I'll see you tomorrow. Good-night, Your Majesties." And then Pluto was gone.
