Darien walked into the expensive yet beautiful restaurant called 'Serene Rose,' and chuckled slightly to himself at the name. He approached the owner and held out his hand, his eyes twinkling.
"Hello, I am Darien Shields, I rented the place for tonight. Is everything in order?" He asked smiling at his long time friend and the owner, Andrew. Andrew smiled back.
"Of course Mr. Shields! Nothing but the best for my best friend and his soon to be fiance'! The 'Moonlit Rose' room is all set for you two. It is on the balcony. The picture of romantic perfection. The covered balcony overlooks the gardens and fountains in the back. The floor is covered with rose petals, and the walls covered with roses. Soft music will help the mood a bit as our chief serves you what ever your heart desires," he smiled at his friends shocked expression. "As I said, *nothing* but the best!"
"Andrew it sounds great! That is way more than I asked for-"
"*I'M* the best man at the wedding! That is a huge honor, worth the room and extras. The whole deal is on the house, my friend, Don't worry about it!" Darien smiled and gave his friend a brotherly hug.
"Thanks."

Luna and Artemis rushed to the temple. They went up the stairs and were immediately on alert.
"Let's split up! I'll check the halls and the fire room, and you check the bedrooms," Artemis stated as he started to walk off.
"Artemis! Wait! Are you sure that splitting up is the way to go about this? I mean. I..-"
'Don't worry Luna we can talk through our link,' he responded lovingly.
'Alright then, dear. Good luck!' she responded as she ran to check the rooms.
Artemis went through the halls, heading for the fire room. He reached the end of the hall and say a tray of tea sitting untouched. 'Oh no.' He thought to himself. He approached the tea and tasted to find it was still warm. He glanced up to see darkness in the fire room, and a tattered red bow. '*Mina*!' his mind screamed. He ran to the room, but stayed in the doorway as he saw the enemy. His back was towards him, and it was talking to itself.
"Yes. We have the scouts. All we need is the boy and the first phase will be complete."
'Oh God, he must mean Darien! LUNA!' Artemis thought, contacting her mind.
'What is it Arty? Did you find the scouts? Arty?!'
'Luna run! Find Darien and Serena! They captured the scouts, RUN Luna!'
'Artemis?! Where are you? What about you?'
'Luna, I love you, GO!' Artemis yelled to her. He closed the connection so the evil wouldn't detect it, but it was too late. The Destructor whipped his head around to stare at Artemis.
"AGGHHH!" screamed Artemis as the creature's eyes glowed a darker red. He fell to the floor as his energy was taken away from him.
~*~*~*~*~
Luna ran down the temple stairs as fast as she could. Her cresent moon flashed and she fell over in pain. Tears streamed down her face.
"Artemis! No!" she cried out. As a large noise resembling an explosion erupted behind her, forcing her back to reality. She jumped to her feet and ran. 'I must find Serena!' If she had glanced back she would have seen a shadow fly out of the temple and towards the city.
