Chap. 9

**********Recap*******************

'I wish there was a moon here…I miss the moon. It has always put to rest before any feelings of unrest that I had. She glanced up, startled as a light bathed her. Looking up at the sky, she was startled, yet pleased at what greeted her. Her wish had been granted. There up in the night sky, was the moon, the full moon. Its heavenly light bathed her. She grinned and a wind blew her hair from behind so that wrapped around her in a blanket. She ran her hand through her hair, bringing forth a few tresses of hair. She looked at her hair and then her hand. Quickly, she summoned up a full length mirror.

A scream was heard throughout the mansion.

**********************************

Throughout the mansion, everyone stopped what they were doing and ran to the source of the scream. They ran outside. Serena was currently hidden from view by a full length mirror. The full moon supplied the light to see this. WAIT!!! The full moon??!! There was no moon! Looking up, the Z crew saw the moon, leaving them speechless. Trunks stopped staring first and as soon as he turned his attention to Serena the others stopped staring at the moon.

"Princes, what in Selene's name were you screaming ab-SWEET SERENITY!!!!" Trista's scream brought all attention to Serena. They all gasped. Serena had made the mirror vanish showing everyone the reason for her screaming. Her long hair, which had previously reached a couple of inches below her knees now dragged on the ground. Her hair, previously blonde was also now silver. Her eyes were switching from silver to blue back to silver etc. continuously. Her skin was literally glowing a pearl white. From her back protruded two large angelic-like wings, with pearls around the edges. The crescent moon symbol shone brightly on her forehead. She had also grown to stand at five foot four, contrary to her original five feet.AN: I can't remember how tall she was at sixteen…I think it was four feet eleven in. tho

"Hey scouts……WHAT IN SERENITY'S NAME IS HAPPENING TO ME?!?!?!!" Serenity began calmy but ended up screaming.

"It looks like your maturing……" everyone looked at Pluto when she said this.

**********************************

At the center of the universe, the 'mini-stars' were still gathering. This time, they were singing a different song. One of false love, of true love. A song about love, death, and of power. Listening very closely, you could hear that after singing the song, the mini-stars began to have conversations based around the same topic. They talked about an awakening and of an upcoming arrival.

**********************************

"So your trying to tell me that whenever a princess of the moon turns 16, her hair will turn silver as soon as she has reached maturity…and she will grow?" Beryl asked Pluto.

"For the last time, YES!!" Pluto was exasperated as everyone was asking the same questions.

"But that still doesn't explain her wings and her glowing skin and why in dende's name is there a moon again!??!" ChiChi pointed out.

"I can explain the moon, I wished for a moon, and I guess the Silver Crystal heard because it granted it." Serena expained.

"Oh…I guess."

"And as for the glowing skin and the wings, I haven't a clue." Pluto explained.

"Hm…could the glowing skin be from the heightening of her powers?" Beryl asked.

"Huh?" Goten was confused.

"Well, with the maturing of the princess, it could mean that the rest of the powers she can reach without having to come to age has just been released. She may have reached her second stage of power, but still, part of her powers were hidden, even to her." Beryl theorized.

"And the wings?" Bulma asked.

"Probably to fly her away." Trista stated calmly.

"WHAT?!?!!!!"

**************************************

"So Serenity has begun to awaken huh? No matter, she will be defeated." Endymion smirked, looking at the events happening through an orb.

"Your majesty, I-" the follower was cut off.

"You are to call me Lord Chaos, and only that, is that understood?" Endymion/Chaos ordered more than asked.

"H-hai L-L-Lord Chaos." The follower stuttered.

"Be off!" Lord Chaos sent the follower away, not even bothering to hear what he would have to say.

"Pest." With that, Lord Chaos sent a blast to tail the follower.

A few minutes later, a painful scream was heard, followed quickly by a silence. A dead silence.

****************************

"What do you mean to fly her away?!?!?" the furious scouts of the heavens, of lightning, thunder, and nature and the fiery scout of fire demanded.

"Well, she is no longer with the baka right?" Trista stated.

"Hai, demo what does that have to do with anything?" Mina asked.

"The princess was not always acting to be a klutz nor an airhead." Trista said before continuing.

"Before she first became Sailor Moon,, being an airhead was implanted in her. A block was put in her brain so that she could not understand what she learned in school. The klutz, however was due to the fact that she was a Lunarian on Earth. It wasn't until after she first became Sailor Moon that the block was taken off. As a Lunarian, she must spend a certain amount of time on the moon because she sort of feeds on the moon. She 'feeds' off of the energy that the moon gives her when she is on it. Also, without a trace of lunar energy in her, she would get sudden spells of weak joints, mainly in her legs. This caused her to fall or trip. Now that she has matured, she is able to travel to the moon and travel through space without needing oxygen. However, when the Lunarian princess has reach maturity, they must train to hone their powers, to train. Because of this, the ability to teleport is locked until the training first begins." Trista stated.

"Hai, demo that still doesn't explain WHY breaking up with the baka has to do with flying away." Beryl said.

"In order to stay on Earth for a long period of time, the princess must have an earth bind, in this case, the prince. Without him, she cannot stay on Earth for a while, and must return home to replenish. If she stays on Earth too long without a bind, she will die."

"But she cannot die! Like us, she is an immortal!!" Ami pointed out.

"WHAT?!! IMMORTAL?!?!?!?!? HOW?!?" Vegeta roared. He was ignored by the scouts.

"Hai, but she can still fall deathly ill. And she will if she does not return to her home to replenish. She survived so long on Earth only because her bind to the so called prince of earth was still present. It had slowly began to crumble, but was still there. It wasn't until his proven betrayal that the bind completely crumbled. Thus, her bind to earth is now…dead." Trista calmy stated.

"So for the best of her health, we must go to the moon?" Mina asked.

"No."

"But you just sa-"

"No, I said that she must go to the moon. We cannot accompany her…it is not allowed because it is something she must do alone."

"And if we don't let her do this alone?" Trunks seemed a bit nervous to ask.

"Her immortality will be lost and-." She was interrupted.

"H-h-how?" Trunks stammered, wanting to know how she would lose her immortality.

"It is our powers that makes us immortal. If she does not go to the moon, her powers will become unstable, then it just….leaves. It would still be there mind you, but it will be impossible to unlock it..thus, without it being unlocked, her immortality leaves her. And after her immortality leaves her……she….."

"She what?!" Trunks sounded frantic.

"I die…." Serena answered. Trunks looked at her, an emotion she couldn't see in his eyes.

'He loves her….' Bulma realized seeing the love in his eyes.

"When….when does she leave." Rei asked, a sign of defeat. Defeat because Serena was leaving, to the moon, alone.

"In a week."

"How long will she be gone? Only a few days right?" Amara asked.

"A month."

"A MONTH!?!?! WHAT ABOUT THE TRAINING FOR THE TOURNAMENT?!?!" Goku cried out.

"She is still training…demo…."

"Demo what?" 18 prodded.

"Demo..it might not be enough for her…"

"Can you guys stop talking as if I am not here?!" Serena cried. At everyone's stare, she grinned.

"Hey, I've still got a week left…lets make the best of it ok?"

"Hai!" Everyone, even Vegeta and Piccalo, who had a newfound respect for her after hearing of the Silver Millenium and the legend, agreed.

*****************************

"Serena?" Serena turned around to see Trunks. She was currently in her balcony.

"Tr..Trunks! How did you get into my chambers?"

"The door was opened."

"Oh…well, did you want to tell me something?"

"Huh? Oh! Hai!"

"Well………." At this Trunks took a deep breathe and appeared to be trying to calm down his frantically beating heart.

"You can't go to the moon! You can't just leave us, leave your friends, me, the gang, you can't!"

"Trunks, you know I have no choice, especially now that I have no one I love in that way to bind me here to earth."

"Yes you do."

"Oh? Who?"

"Me."

"Trunks..what are you trying to say?"

"Serena…I….I mean..I…what I'm trying to say is…I…."

"Trunks, come on…you know you can tell me anything!"

"Serena…I…"

************************

"SSHHHHH!!!!! I can't hear what they're saying!" Goten said, hushing the LARGE group of people behind him. Even Goku, Vegeta, and Piccalo were there.

"Will you stop pulling my hair?"

"OW! Who stepped on my foot?!!"

"Sh! They'll hear us!"

"You guys, we shouldn't be doing this!"

"Oh come on already! Get with the romance!"

"Roshi….refrain from touching my butt…or pay the consequences…."*a sword is heard being unsheathed next to Michelle…*

*GULP*

"So am I getting a strong daughter-in-law or what?" everyone blinked and looked at Vegeta.

"Hey! Who just hit me?"

"Oops, sorry."

"Hey quiet down! I can' t hear anything!"

"Did they kiss yet??"

"SH! I think they heard us!" With that, the large group of people hiding behind various objects in Serena's chambers refrained from making any noise.

**********************

"Did you hear something?" Trunks asked Serena, trying to stray from the topic.

"No….now what were you trying to say?" Serena asked innocently. Her eyes, however wondered to inside the room and flashed once.

"I…uh…I.."

********************

"Busted…….." everyone sighed as they were lifted off the ground and brought into another room. They were each seated around a large round marble table.

"Oh…she's not very happy about us spying on her…." Ami noted the room they were in. "She had us seated in this room."

"So? She had us seated, we'll just leave." Goten tried to leave the seat but to no avail.

"She had us rooted to the seat…in the meeting room!" Rei sighed….then mumbled about how the situation was bad.

"What's so bad about the meeting room?" Krillen asked.

"It's also known as the court room."

"Sooo…."

"The last time Sere ever had someone put in the court room, they were sentenced to one of the ultimate punishments."

"They were killed?" Yamcha gulped.

"No." Hotaru said.

"Then how? Death is the ultimate punishment!" Vegeta was curious.

"No, death is just a release." Hotaru stated.

"This punishment is far worse than death…." Trista informed.

"What…what is it?" Tien almost didn't want to know. 17, 18, Piccalo and the saiyens were curious by the fact that there was a punishment worse than death.

"They were sentenced to the Hall of Misery…." The scouts shuddered.

*********************

"Trunks….I'm still waiting……"

"Serena…you can't go because….because I…I….I love you!"

***************************************************
