Hi! Here's the next part.

I don't own Sailor Moon, nor do I pretend to. I do own Allura, Diamond's random flunkies, and
Crescent.

A tad bit more mixing of anime and manga/graphic novel (same thing, just the graphic novel is
about 4 of the magna together).

I changed Sailor Sun's bows from orange to gold.

Anything with a ** after it will be explained at the end.

By the way, the person who asked my age... let's just put it this way, I'm a teenager.

Part 5 of "One Stands Alone"
'Time to Go'
~~

Allura frowned. Diamond had forbidden her from going to breakfast that morning with Serena,
and Allura was going crazy waiting for them to get done. She had been pacing outside the door
when she heard Serena's cry of surprise. Diamond then laughed.

"I told you, Serenity, if you didn't cooperate, I would attack your precious scouts." Diamond
said.

"You can't hurt them!" Serena replied.

"Oh I can and I will! I already sent a monster for them fight!"

Allura frowned, before presuming her pacing. 'I hope Pluto rounded up some help.'

~~

The Scouts had all decided to meet at the temple, and try another fire reading, although the
past three had failed. All were looking worse for wear, since this was the second day Serena
was gone.

"All the fire readings I've tried, have failed." Raye said, her voice laced with depression and
failure.

Luna smiled sympathetically, "Raye, you tried. Serena would hate to see you devoting so much of
your time in to trying to find her."

"Luna's right guys, and I hate to say this, but we really can't do anything until Pluto allows
us." Artemis said, trying to look hopeful, but failing.

"But there has to be something we can do!" Lita insisted, cracking her knuckles.

Amy shook her head and spoke up, "I think that Artemis and Luna are right. We really can't do
anything. Pluto isn't allowing it, and normally that means some other part of time needs
written. We all know Pluto would whack us back into last month, literally, if we interfered
with the time stream. I want her back as much as you do, but still..."

Darien, who had been silently taking things in, began to speak but before he could, someone
else spoke.

"MONSTER!!!"

Everyone blinked, shocked that there was a monster attack, but, nevertheless, transformed and
took off after the sound of the scream.

~~

Michelle and Amara had just come out of a clothing store when they heard the monster cry,

"Trista did say we should help them," Amara said, when Michelle gave her a look of question.

Michelle nodded, and grabbed her transformation pen. "Let us help them then."

Hotaru nodded, but stayed silent as she grabbed her pen from her purse.

~~

Allura frowned, debating on kicking the door in. Diamond had, stupidly in Allura's opinion,
left no guards outside the dinner camber.

"Leave me alone!" Serena cried.

Allura's eyes narrowed, and with a pray to her beloved Sun, she kicked down the door.

When the dust cleared, Diamond's eyes narrowed when he saw Allura standing there.

"What do you want?" Diamond asked, the fact that Allura had just kicked down the door not
occurring to him.

Serena's eyes were wide. How had Allura managed that? The only ones who had the power to
kick down doors like that were the other Sailor Scouts, and Allura wasn't a Scout...

Or was she?

~~

The Inner Scouts, and Tuxedo Mask, were fighting a losing battle. Each could weaken the
monster, named Gohugrsy**, but not defeat it.

"As much as she klutzes up during a battle, I really miss Serena!" Mars said, dodging
another attack.

Rosebuds suddenly flew across the battlefield. The Scouts, shocked, looked up to see three
Scouts that had been sorely missed.

"I am a Sailor with the blessing of Uranus, the planet of wind!** I am Sailor Uranus!"

"I have the blessing of the planet of the sea!** I am Sailor Neptune!"

"I carry the blessings of a silent planet, and I am never a welcomed guest! I am Sailor
Saturn!"

"Uranus! Neptune! Saturn!" Mercury said, shocked.

"Save the small talk for after the battle! Space Sword Blaster!"** Uranus said, cutting
through the monster, destroying it**.

"Thanks." Jupiter replied, but the tone of her voice sounded a bit depressed that they couldn't
handle the monster on their own.

Saturn nodded, "You are welcome. Let's go to the temple to sort some of this mess out."

~~

Sailor Pluto stood at the Gates of Time, a small figure floating next to her.

"The time is near," the figure said, stating a fact that both already knew.

"I know that. Let's just hope Allura knows how to handle herself," Pluto replied.

"Pluto, you worry too much!" the figure said.

If Pluto hadn't been trained as well as she was, she would have sweatdropped.

~~

"Leave the Princess alone," Allura said her voice soft, but with a dead undertone.

Serena nearly gasped. She had gotten to know Allura quite well in the two days she had known
the girl, but she had never head Allura's voice grow that cold.

Diamond laughed, "Mutiny? I would like to see you over take me!"

"Fine then. SUN CYRSTAL POWER!" Allura yelled, a Scout transformation pen in her hand.

"I have now seen everything..." Serena whispered.

Serena noticed that Diamond had been temporarily blinded by the transformation, yet she was
not. Serena watched in awe as a red skirt and back piece formed on the white sailor bodice.
The front and back bows were gold, and the ends of her gloves were red. Her shoes, also red,
crossed like Neptune's, but then connected to the ankle ribbon, like Venus's. Serena noted the
gold tiara and red jewel in the center. The most surprising thing though, was Allura's hair
and eyes. The gentle lavender was gone, replaced by a red that matched her skirt. As the
transformation was nearly over, a long, thin staff came to the girls' hand. The staff looked to
be solid gold, but it had a thin weaving red line to it. It had a blade, like Saturn's, but
much smaller.

"I am Sailor Sun, the sailor forever destined to fight alone. Now step away from the Princess,
or I may be force to do something I might actually like. Like chopping you head off with the
end of my staff." Sailor Sun said.

'So that's how she was able to read my aura! She's a Sailor Scout,' Serena thought, before
something else clicked, 'No wonder her eyes were so stubborn and independent.'

Hematite, hearing the commotion, suddenly ran into the room. One must imagine the site he came
to: a red-suited Sailor Scout, the Princess Serenity wavering between shock and anger, and his
Prince glaring at the Scout.

"My Lord, what is going on?!" Hematite cried out.

Sailor Sun turned and glared, "Sun Phoenix Release!"

The attack was called upon by Sailor Sun's staff. The sign for the ancient firebird was made,
and then hit with the staff. Hematite, with not enough time to prepare a shield to protect
himself from the onslaught of power, was blown out of where the door once stood and through a
wall.

Diamond's eyes narrowed, "How could you managed to blow one of my best servants straight
through a wall?"

"I could do the same to you," was the calm, if not cold, reply.

Serena had seen many fights in her time, but never had she seen, or heard for that matter, a
Scout keeping her cool this well. This Sailor Sun, or Allura as it seemed, must be well
trained, Serena thought.

Diamond, meanwhile, was running his options through his mind as quickly as he could. With a
frown, he realized that Sailor Sun could cut through his attack and return one of her own
before he could fully recover.

"You win this round, but Serenity will be mine!" Diamond yelled, before teleporting out of
the room.

"You dropped this Princess," Sailor Sun said, handing Serena her transformation locket.

"How do I know I can trust you?" Serena asked coolly, taking the locket from Sailor Sun's hands.

Sailor Sun smacked her forehead and frowned, "Are we back to this again?! I can solve this
easily though, PLUTO!"

~~

Geez, I kinda left you at a cliffhanger, but I kinda didn't... I blame the writers block I had
for this part on it...

Here's the stuff I promised and explanation to:

Gohugrsy: An older character I created. I had writers block, and I just shoved that name for
the monster.

Uranus's Speech: It's part of the speech she gives to Serenity in Volume 9 of the translated
graphic novel.

Neptune's Speech: It's part of the speech she gives to Serenity in Volume 9 of the translated
graphic novel.

Uranus's Attack: It's from the graphic novel.

Destroying the Monster: *sighs* I'm a firm believer in the fact the Outer Scouts are stronger
than the Inner.

Anyhow, any questions, leave them in your review and I'll do my best to answer them...

Peace, Love, and the Moon!
