Hey peeps! I haven't written a chaptered Sailor Moon ficcy in a while.

I don't own Sailor Moon, but I do own Allura and Crescent.

Quote of the Fic: "Always with the end comes hope and rebirth." Sailor Saturn,
Sailor Moon Magna, Eternity 10-Infinite

This doesn't follow the exact plot of Sailor Moon. This follows up to the point of the end
of the S Series, but for right now, there is no Super Sailor Moon. After the S series ends,
this takes it's own life. The scouts, inners, are all 16 now, and Darien is 20. They've had
peace for the last 2 years. Rini is in the future again. The outers will come in this series,
but Rini is questionable.

Part One of "One Stands Alone"
"Pluto's Unknown Friend" (an- NOT THAT KIND OF FRIEND!)
~~

Allura Starbright's eyes gazed across the emptiness of the Gates of Time.

"Allura, thanks for coming on such short notice," Sailor Pluto said.

Allura frowned, "Don't thank me. Just make sure Crescent doesn't kill me when I come back."

"I have a special mission for you."

"What is it, Pluto?"

Sailor Pluto sighed, "I knew you were going to make it easy on me."

Allura's lavender eyes flashed, "And what does that mean?"

"In order for the future to happen as it must, Diamond must capture the Princess one last time.
I need someone there to make sure nothing happens to Serenity. Allura, Sailor Sun, I need you
to go and make sure Serenity stays safe. You are going to be a servant to Diamond."

Allura blinked once, "Pluto have you lost your mind?! You're going to just hand over Serenity
to Diamond, someone who has tried to hurt Serenity once before mind you! What next,
flying pigs?!"

"So you'll do it?"

"When the Prince finds out, he won't be happy."

Sailor Pluto nodded, "So you'll do it?"

"Might as well. It'll keep me busy until school starts, anyhow."

Sailor Pluto frowned, "You have a weird way of looking at things. Be ready to leave in five
hours. I'll take care of Crescent while you are away."

Allura nodded, "I am not reasonable for any alterations to the Time Stream do to this."

"Don't worry, if all goes as it should, nothing should be changed." Sailor Pluto said.

Allura nodded and walked through the portal to her apartment.

A figure, small in size, floated next to Pluto, "Things will go as planed, I trust Allura,
and now all Allura has to do is learn to trust."

Serena ran up the temple stares.

She opened the doors, and everyone in the room turned in shock realizing Serena made it to the
temple on time.

Raye stared for a minute then promptly fainted.

Serena grinned, "I should do this more often if I can get this reaction out of Raye."

Everyone groaned. Darien sighed as he pulled Serena into a kiss. Raye, who woke up five
minutes later, sighed as Darien and Serena continued their kiss.

"All right, enough you two," Luna said, gazing around the room. Serena, who had just turned
16, sat in Darien's lap. Her sapphire blue eyes had a hidden smile, and her pigtails went
almost to her ankles. Lita, who sat next to Serena and Darien, was almost 5 foot 8 inches,
making Serena, who stood 5 foot 4 inches, seem small. Her brown hair was still the same length
and in a ponytail. Amy was the same height as Serena and stilled looked the same. Raye was
5 foot 5, and looked the same as always, and Mina, the same height as Raye, hadn't changed a
bit. Darien was 6 foot 3, and his jet black hair still had the same part.

"We've picked up a new disturbance from the NegaMoon. I just don't know what they're doing."
Luna said.

The scouts groaned. They just had two years of peace. No fighting, just school and friends.
Serena, with the help of Amy and Darien, had pulled her grades way up. Raye didn't believe it
until Serena showed her the paper with the clearly marked 95 percent. Even then Raye fainted.

Suddenly, a scream ripped through the quiet air. The five Scouts exchanged worried glances,
and then transformed. Darien, who had transformed into Tuxedo Mask, waited patiently for the
girls. After the transformation was over, the group of 5 girls, 2 cats, and a guy in a tux
left the temple and headed towards where the scream had come from.

~~

Allura stood next to Sailor Pluto. "May I help them?"

"Absolutely not! You need to go to Diamond's ship, and wait for further orders. The Princess
needs to get captured, or have you conveniently forgot?"

"I couldn't forget, and you won't let me," Allura said, dryly.

Sailor Pluto smiled sadly, "Watch the sarcasm with Diamond. He most likely won't except it."

Allura frowned, "Are you sure I can't take Crescent with em?"

"A talking cat-" Sailor Pluto began.

"-On board a ship, or in a castle, with a crescent moon on its forehead will bring to much
suspicion." Allura said, reciting word for word with Sailor Pluto.

"Watch the sarcasm, Allura! Now, when the mission is over, and you will know so don't even
bother asking, call for me, and I'll come and get you and the Princess," Sailor Pluto said,
giving Allura a glance over.

"I'll be fine, Pluto. Trust me, I'll be fine," Allura softly, "Just, please, take care of
Crescent for me!"

Sailor Pluto nodded and gave Allura a hug. "Be careful Allura, and stay safe!"

Allura nodded, and Sailor Pluto opened a portal for her to walk through. Allura did so, and
then the portal vanished.

~~

The scouts had just arrived on the scene of a battle, and all the innocent civilians who could
have gotten in the way, had fled the area.

"That is one ugly monster," Sailor Jupiter said, her eyes wide at the sight of the thing.

"Well, might as well get this over with!" Sailor Mars said.

Sailor Moon nodded, but before she could begin her speech, a face the scout had hoped to never
seen again appeared.

"Ahh, the lovely Sailor Moon," Diamond said, breathing in the sight of Sailor Moon.

"Prince Diamond!" Sailor Moon gasped, and took a step back. Tuxedo Mask, on the other hand,
took a step forward, guarding Sailor Moon from Diamond.

"What do you want?" Tuxedo Mask, quite literally, growled.

"Quite simple, really, I want Sailor Moon," Diamond said, with an air of explaining something
really simple to a young child.

"Over my dead body!" Sailor Jupiter said.

"That can be arranged," Diamond said.

Suddenly, Diamond's third eye opened, and the Sailor Scouts were all frozen into place.
Prince Diamond grinned, they laughed eccentrically. (An- eccentrically describes laughed,
making eccentrically an adverb... *shakes head* I need to stop paying attention in English
class)

Tuxedo Mask tried to move, tried to protect Sailor Moon, but he, and the rest of the Sailor
Scouts, were helpless as Diamond grabbed her arm. Each had to watch, powerlessly, as their
beloved princess turned one way, then another to try to break Diamond's hold on her.

Diamond opened a portal and turned to the Sailor Scouts, and Tuxedo Mask. "I thank you for
the Princess."

Then Diamond disappeared.

I think I'll leave it here for right now... Not much of a cliffhanger, but I'll have to work
on that...

You know, I really love REVIEWS! *hint, hint, wink*

Well, till next time... (By the way, I would like 3 reviews before I continue...)

Peace, Love, and the Moon!
