2 DAYS LATER, TOKYO JAPAN
TIME: 8:30 AM
Serena~
My head was pounding. What happened? Izzie came to set me, Raye and Darien free. We ran to the gatesÖthen the castle exploded. What happened?
I opened my eyes and tried to focus them. I was lying in my bed at home. How did I get there? Was going to the base a dream? The alarm clock near me said 8:27 am, about two hours after I was supposed to be at the school.
A sob sounded from the corner. I looked over and saw mom crying silently- tears streaming down her face. I looked at her confused, until I opened my eyes wider and lifted my head off the pillow. I then saw the whole picture.
Rini was sitting in her lap, trying to comfort her. My mom was obviously over-joyed at having both her ëdaughtersí back home. And after so long, too.
Rini noticed that I was awake and left momís lap. She crawled over to my bed on her knees, and took my hands in hers. She leaned over me.
ìMama,î she whispered into my ear.
I burst into tears for the sentiment of it. My little girl from the future was alive and safe in my home. I threw my arms around her and gathered her into a hug. She scrambled onto my bed next to me.
"What happened?" I asked her.
She looked at me with her innocent amber eyes.
"One of your new friends, Davis? He pushed the self- destruction button."
"Is everyone…?"
Rini nodded and smiled.
"Everyone is ok."
"How…how did they get out of there?"
Rini's eyes widened with a mystical look at some far away scene. She began to recall for me what had happened.
*FLASHBACK
Rini~
"No! Davis! I can't just leave everyone there!" I cried as we rode away from the castle.
"We have too!" he yelled back. He turned to me with sympathetic eyes. "I'm sorry Rini."
I slumped down into a stupor and listened to Davis ramble on with his dragon friend. Something about needing a gate home, but it was too far away, we'd die, we need one.
Gates? I was good with those! Before I knew it, I was searching under my shirts for my necklace. I pulled it out- the tiny gate key I had took from Pluto before I left home. I thrust it into the air and called out,
"Pluto! Please! Help me!"
There was a rush of wind that stopped time. Only I was able to move. I turned around. Everyone behind me was stuck in their running positions. I turned forward and gasped. Pluto was waiting for me.
"Pluto! You stopped time! Now you'll die!" I cried.
Pluto shook her head.
"No I won't. This is the Digital World. Time is different here- so therefore, I can get away with it," she smiled.
"Pluto…I need a gate so me and these people can get out of here alive."
Pluto smiled.
"What you need is a plan," she said.
I frowned.
"Too late for that."
Pluto shook her head and smiled.
"Not likely. I planned ahead. When I unfreeze time, a gate will be here. You will make sure everyone makes it in here safely. The castle will blow up and you will mourn your losses. But that is not the case. An angel and her dark shadowed friend will save everyone…that is all you need to know."
"Will you promise me everyone will live?" I asked.
"Promise."
"Ok Pluu."
She glanced at me.
"Ready?"
I nodded. She snapped her fingers and she was gone, and I was once again rushing along the dragon's back. There was a gate ahead, and we all ran inside. I turned back and saw the castle blow up. But wait…something was rising above everything.
A white glow settled upon the castle and the lands around it, making everything eerily peaceful. Something was at the center of it…something that could only be described as an angel. Following behind it was a dark wolf with wings. They rose into the air and they both called out something- incomprehensible cause I was so far away, but the words were a sweet melody to my ears. A white flash of light blinded my eyes as the gate closed.
"Wait! I know who that was!" I cried to nobody in particular.
A rush of wind, and I was inside a school's computer room, and all I could do was whisper,
"Mama…that was beautiful."
*END FLASHBACK
Serena~
Rini was smiling into my face.
"You saved everyone."
I was confused.
"I did?"
Rini smiled even more.
"Its ok. You're not supposed to remember now, but it will all come back in time. Now you will come downstairs and see everyone?"
I blinked.
"Who's all here?"
Rini rolled her eyes and pulled the covers off of me.
"Who isn't? And I think I saw TK and Kari try to sneak in all the Digimon."
I went pale and I cupped my hand over Rini's mouth. I had finally realized that my mom was in the room.
"It's ok Serena." She gave me a watery smile. "I already knew. When you were born, someone had told me you'd be thrice as special."
I smiled back and ran to my mom. We hugged and she took hold of one of my hands.
"Mom…so you know…everything?" I asked.
She nodded.
"Rini thought it would be best to tell me while you were asleep."
I turned to Rini.
"You know I'm a Digi-Destined?"
Rini rolled her eyes.
"Duh! You hang out with the Digi-Destined!"
I glanced at her.
"So?"
She grabbed my hands.
"Plus, Serenity, you have a Digimon you know. One that isn't very good at keeping it's identity a secret either."
She dragged me out of the room, my mom following.
Tai~
Beautiful. The only word for her was beautiful. How I could stand to be away from her for a whole week while she was inconsious was beyond stupid. As she walked down the stairs, her long hair lose about her- framing her face, she had a white glow about her. The same glow from the base... From behind me, I heard a gasp, then an awed Mimi say,
"She's truly Sailor Moon."
She walked down the stairs, a look of disbelief mixed with joy. hen she reached the bottom of the stairs, she broke into a huge smiled.
"Um...hi everyone!" she yelled, before becoming the center of a very large and crowded group hug.
When everyone broke free, Serena glanced at me and smiled. I smiled back. She strode across the room and I swept her into my embrace. We stared into each other's eyes, and I finally pressed my lips against hers, over and over.
I felt a tap on my shoulder. I glanced behind me, Serena still caught up in my arms. Matt was standing there, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Do me a favor?" he responded.
"What?"
He smiled maniacly.
"Get a room!"
The whole room burst into laughter, and we all headed into Serena's living room. We assembled a sort of a half circle.
"Well," Serena said. "I think proper introductions need to be made. First off, I'm Serena- Sailor Moon and Holder of Darkness."
The Sailor Scouts raised quizical eyebrows and Serena smiled.
"Don't worry. Next?" she said looking to me.
I cleared my throat.
"Uh, I'm Tai- Holder of Courage. Next?" I said, looking at a little girl to my left.
"Rini- Sailor Mini Moon. Next?"
"Davis, Courage and Friendship Sub-Holder. Next?"
"Ami- Sailor Mercury. Continue..."
"Matt, Holder of Friendship."
"Raye- Sailor Mars."
"Cody, Knowledge and Reliability Sub-Holder."
"Lita, Sailor Jupiter."
"Mimi, Holder of Sincerity."
"Mina, Sailor Venus."
"Kari, Holder of Light."
"TK- Hope."
"Artemis, Protector of Mina."
"Ken- Kindness."
"Luna, Protector of Serena."
"Sora, Love."
"Izzie, Knowledge."
"Yolei, Sub-Holder of Love and Sincerity."
"Joe, Reliability."
Serena looked around.
"Where's D?"
"Home," Raye said.
D? Who's D? I thought.
Serena shrugged.
"Oh well. Now that we're all on first name basis, we need to talk about this bad-guy."
I cleared my throat.
"The Digimon King and Princess."
"Darni and Alilanthea," Izzie added.
"Who we all know is Lillanea," Kari said.
Mina turned to Kari.
"Are you serious? I hate Lillanea...that witch."
Serena whistled to regain her audience.
"Yeah- Lillanea and some guy named Darni. As far as we know, Darni and Alilanthea didn't survive the base blowing up. So we're pretty much clear for now."
The phone rang and we all stared at it.
Kari~
We stared at the phone, until on the third ring I stood up. I walked over to it and slowly picked it up off the cradle.
"Hello?" I asked.
A laugh filled the whole reciever.
"Hello Kari."
"Lillanea," I hissed.
Everyone's faces went gaunt.
"Why do you sound so suprised?" Lilla asked.
"Because the base!"
Lilla laughed.
"You think something like that would stop me from ruling the world?"
I gaped and shuddered in fear.
"You're mad. Stark raving mad, Lilla. You need help."
"Kari, you'll be the one who needs help after I destroy you."
I turned to the others. Mina mouthed,
"What's going on?"
Lita solved the problem by pushing the speaker phone button. Automatically, Lillanea's laugh filled the room. Everyone's eyes widened.
"Kari, are you still there?" Lillanea asked.
"Ye-yeah. I'm here."
"Darling, I have a proposal."
I growled into the phone.
"You always have a plan. Just tell it, before I get mad."
Lillanea laughed.
"I doubt you could hurt me, even if you were mad. And, that's half of the proposal..."
Everyone held their breath as she went silent. Then she slowly started to talk.
"I have seen the Sailor Scouts fight me, they are no match. I have had the Digi-Destined face off against my minions, they are too weak,\."
She took a long rattling breath and sighed.
I couldn't take it anymore.
"Great observations Lillanea! But that's not a plan, that's throwing it in our faces how great you think you are! TELL US DAMMIT!"
Lilla drew in a sharp breath.
"Do not berate me Kari, I have the power to kill you- and don't think I won't if I have the chance," she hissed.
"Then prove it. Fight us. Digi-Destined and Sailor Scouts versus you and that wussy-ass Darbi guy."
"Fine. Tonight in the park." Lilla hissed.
"See ya then," I muttered.
I hung up the phone and pressed the speaker phone button off. I turned to the otehrs.
"Well, there we are." I said.
Serena~
"Well, there we are." Kari said.
I stood frozen. Lillanea survived the blow up? No...her and that Darni guy both? Last time we fought that Darni guy...we lost! So did the Digi-Destined. This wasn't good.
New hope washed over me. But this time, I thought, we're fighting together. We're twice as strong. WE CAN WIN!
"What do we do?" asked Mimi.
Everyone turned to look at me and Tai. Our eyes widened in suprise.
"What do you want with us?" asked Tai.
Izzie smiled.
"Well, you are the leader of the Digi-Destined..."
"And Serena's the leader of the Sailor Scouts," Ami brought up.
"So therefore...you come up with a plan!" Rini threw into the conversation.
I stared at Tai.
"Well...lets see." I began.
I scanned the room.
"Ok...I'm not going to make a plan. I'm going to assign people to positions. Deal?"
Everyone nodded their agreement and I smiled.
"Good. First off, Ami, Luna, Artemis, Izzie and Ken...I have a computer room down the hall. You guys dig up all the information on Lilla and Darni, and make a plan."
They nodded and left the room. I did a quick scan again.
"K...Joe, Yolei, Cody, Raye and Mimi, go to the family room next door. You guys will be incharge of helping any fallen warriors during the battle. Practice on each other or whatever..."
They left for the Family Room.
"What about us?" asked Sora.
"I'm quite observant," said TK, "and I figure that we are the ones with the most potential to destroy Lilla and her friend."
"Exactly." I said. "Our powers can't fail! First off, we have the power of Love, Friendship, Courage, Hope, the weather, and more Love, Friendship and Courage. Plus we have three sources of Light."
"What about Darkness?" asked Davis. "Isn't that your crest, Serena?"
"Yeah, it is. But we don't know what that does yet."
"So how do we prepare?" Lita asked.
"We train. Practice attacks, practice releasing the inner power of our Crests...all that stuff."
"Sounds good." said Matt, standing and stretching.
The others followed his suit, and Rini led them all into the backyard, which would serve as our make shift training grounds.
I felt a tap on my shoulder. I spun around. It was Kari.
"Yeah Kari?" I asked.
"Serena, question."
"What?"
"Who are you going to fight as, Sailor Scout or Digi-Destined?"
I paused and thought about my training ahead. What would we really need to defeat Lilla?
"Both," I replied and walked outside.
