"How?" He asked again. Uranus trudged in, holding her injured arm. She put her sword up.
"Well, when it's your destiny to rule the world, you learn quickly…but in Moon Face's case…" Uranus began, before getting hit in the head by Serena. Uranus coughed into her hand.
"You are this far from getting your butt kicked again." She threatened. Uranus nodded and walked out. Goku looked at the Champion of Justice.
"So, what's this about with that crystal and being hurled to Earth?" He asked. Serena looked up at him.
"Well…after the Negaverse was banished my mother used all her remaining power to send me and my court here to Earth. Then she hurled the Silver Crystal to the Earth. It had the seven finest Nega Warriors trapped in it. It shattered into seven Rainbow crystals, each with a Shadow Warrior in it. They were reborn as humans with special powers…" She explained. Shin nodded, still in shock over her ability to use it.
"Um, yes. Yes, that's it exactly." He said. Serena smiled.
"Took us a bit to find it! We were stunned that I was the legendary Moon Princess!" She said. Gohan spoke up.
"We were more stunned to learn she WASN'T a Saiyan! She acts just like one! Appetite, balance without a tail, fighting skill, the whole nine yards!" He said. Serena nodded then got mad at him.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!" She shrieked. Gohan stepped back, and hid behind his father. Serena wasn't as strong as he was, but was a lot meaner than his mother and Bulma combined.
"Nothing! Please don't hurt me Serena!" Serena would have beat him up, but didn't. She felt a power. A power very familiar. One she knew in a past life. She became afraid.
"No…" She whispered and looked outside. She saw a figure in a green outfit on the wall behind the stadium. It vanished but she had gotten a good look.
"Lita…" She whispered. Gohan blinked.
"Sailor Jupiter? Did you see her?" He asked. Serena ran outside to look around. She looked to the Three Outers, who confirmed her fear. Serena's eyes filled with tears…
With the Inners…
"She's with them all right. I'll bring her back." Jupiter said. Darien nodded.
"Do so." He ordered. Jupiter nodded and ran off…
With the Others...
Serena whimpered and stumbled back. Goten and Trunks looked worried.
"Hey, what's wrong with Serena?" Goten asked.
"Dunno." Trunks answered.
"I'm worried about her." Goten said and ran over to her. Trunks followed. Serena had broken down in tears. She didn't know if she could handle this anymore. Her friends had turned against her, she couldn't go home...
"Serena, are you okay?" Goten asked. She was now crying. Trunks shook her a bit, but she didn't respond. Serena then stopped crying, and looked angry.
"He took my friends away from me. He forced me into hiding. I'll never forgive him!" She shrieked and flew off. Uranus watched.
"Hey! Meatball Head!" She called to the anger stricken warrior. Serena stopped and floated there, looking to Amara, her guardian. And one of the only Scouts left who believed in her power.
"I wanna let you know...you're insane!" She called to her leader. Serena smiled, tears running down her face again. The Z fighters and even Shin, were wondering what she meant.
"I'll miss you too..." Serena whispered. Amara nodded.
"Kick their butts..."
"In the name of the moon..." Serena flew off again. Saturn looked in the air.
"Death fills the battle ground..."Hotaru whispered. Michelle and Trista looked worried.
"This is her decision. We can't control her fate." Amara told the Z fighters. Goten's eyes went wide. And slowly, so did Trunks's. They knew what was going to happen. They flew after her.
With the Inners...
"She's here." Jupiter said.
"If she won't return to us, then we'll get rid of her. I never thought she was fit to be the Moon
Princess." Mars said. They looked to the air as she landed on the ground.
Holding her Moon Heart rod tightly, Serena glared at her former 'friends'. Mars laughed at her.
"So, you've left us and joined a new team. Who could be better than the Sailor Scouts? Honestly Serena! Now come on, and get back in our team!" Mars ordered. Serena clenched her teeth. She grabbed the Sailor Communicator and threw it at her feet, and crushed it with her foot.
"What was that for Meatball Head!" Raye shouted. Serena growled and dropped the wand, and removed her gloves.
"For not treating me like a real person Raye!" Serena shouted at the Warrior of Fire.
"I am SICK and TIRED of being put down by you little miss hot head! To you I'm not a warrior, I'm not even a person! I'm a THING! Just because I'm a princess, doesn't mean I'm not real! I won't STAND for it! You won't let me fight, and you laugh at my mistakes! I'll destroy you before taking another insult!" She shouted. Mars and Jupiter stepped back. Serena didn't stop.
"Tell me, Miss Hino. How would you like it if I laughed at YOUR misfortune? If I insulted YOU for not being as PERFECT as you should be? If I insulted you, for being different. For being Psychic. You wouldn't like it at all. How about you Miss Kino? For not being elegant. For fighting all the time. You insult my intelligence, my pride, my dignity, and my being! I'll kill you for it!" She shrieked and became Serena again. Jupiter dropped into a fighting stance, along side Mars. Serena ran at them and kicked toward Jupiter, who knocked her away. Serena landed on both feet, and ran towards both warriors. Jupiter punched her into the ground. Serena got back up, bleeding.
"You got good Serena. Come one and join us…" Jupiter gently said.
"NO!" Serena tried to run at her again, but something had caught her arm. She looked down. It was Goten and Trunks. Both boys held her arm.
"Don't go Serena!" Goten said. Trunks pulled her back.
"We don't want you to die! You're our best friend!" He said. Serena would have said something, but Jupiter attacked.
"Jupiter Thunder Crash!" She called, knocking the three away from one another. Jupiter then lifted Goten up. Serena got mad.
"Leave him alone! He's like a brother to me!" (Note- Foreshadows something in the future) She cried.
"What's so special about him?" Jupiter wondered.
"He has Pegasus!" She told them. The two girls laughed.
"Good one Serena!" Jupiter said.
"You know only Rini could have Pegasus! Let's get rid of him." Mars decided. Serena's eyes widened in horror.
"No…don't do this!" She shrieked at the them. Mars held her hands out, as Jupiter held Goten in place.
"It's the only way Serena…Mars Flame…!" Mars shouted. Serena ran towards Jupiter and Goten as the attack was prepared. She shoved them away.
"Sniper!" Mars called out firing an arrow of fire at Serena by mistake. Serena was hit. Mars and Jupiter fled. Trunks felt for a pulse. But he couldn't find one.
"Goten…she's…she's dead."
