~*Evil in the Shadow of the Light*~ Chapter 5: The Battle Begins
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena held the broach in her hand. The ribbons began to surround her until a force knocked the broach to the ground. Luna landed next to it and looked back at Serena.
"What do you think you are doing?! That *creature* will find you if you transform!! You have to stay safe!"
"And what, Luna? Hide? Hope that everything will turn out right?" Serena asked in a dead sounding voice. "If you haven't noticed sooner or later I am going to have to face this evil alone. I will not let the world come to an end, we worked far too hard for what we have now. You have to understand, Luna," she continued as her crescent moon lit up, and the broach disappeared from the ground and appeared in her hand.
"Serena..." Luna tried again, as Serena smiled.
"Luna, it is time for me to face destiny. I am not afraid for myself, only for my loved ones. Look at me. I am not a whiny, klutzy, 14 year old little girl anymore. This is what I was put on this Earth to do, and I swear to you that I will do all I can."
Luna's eyes filled with tears as she looked at the woman before her. She had truly grown a lot from the day one.
"I believe in you, my queen. Your mother would be-- Is very proud." she said bowing. Tears formed in Serena's eyes as she held her guardian close for one last hug. She placed her gently down.
"Thank you, Luna," she looked upward and clutched the broach to her chest, tears falling freely. She closed her eyes, regained her composer, and held it above her head. "MOON ETERNAL POWER TRANSFORM!" she yelled. Ribbons surrounded her and made her Eternal Sailor Moon outfit appear. As she struck her pose, darkness covered the area. What was once the park, was now a void. Dark with black fog circling on the ground. Serena looked around frantically.
"Show yourself!! I know you are there!" she watched as a figure crept out of the darkness. Luna meowed and disappeard.
"Luna!!" Serena yelled. The figure approached slowly. She gasped as she felt a knife twist through her heart. "Darien?! But- but it can't be!" The person looked just like Darien, but his hard navy blue eyes had red in the center, and he was clothed in black and red armor. Darien, no!!" she screamed tears falling. A voice. A cruel hissing voice came out of Darien's mouth.
"There is no, Darien. I will destroy you, Serena!"
"No Darien! You don't mean that! You love me! You promised you'd never forget again! Fight the evil!"
Something inside, Darien shifted. For a brief second he remembered. He knew he loved her, and she was telling the truth. 'No,' the Destructor whispered in his mind. 'Serena is evil! She killed your love, Beryl! *She* is the evil one!
"Starlight Honeymoon Therapy.. Kiss!!" yelled Serena, but Darien jumped out of the attacks path.
"I don't think so, Serena. Now you shall meet your doom!" Darien jumped up unsheathing his sword. Serena looked pained as she dodged his attack. As she regained her balance, black ropes tied her arms and legs to the wall. Darien ran at her and brought the sword to her neck, but stopped. the blade rested against her skin, but did not cut. Serena starred into Darien's eyes. Not crying, Not trying to escape.
'This-.. this isn't right.. I know it isn't. Something.. Is off, ' thought a confused Darien.
'No," the Destructor hissed. This *is* right. She's evil!' it exclaimed. Darien's eyes hardened as he pointed the sword at Serena's chest. A tear fell from Serena's eyes as she said one word.
"Rini," she whispered.
Another inner conflict began. Darien saw an image of a pink haired girl smiling at him. 'No. I won't hurt My Serena! I love her!' he said to the Destructor, dropping the sword.
"Weakling!!" The Destructor screamed. "How does she get through to you?! I don't need a host!! Sailor Moon can't kill me anyways!!" The Destructor left Darien's body and slammed him against a wall where vines appeared around him.
Darien felt the evil leave him. 'What was that about?! Who am I? Is Darien my name?' he thought as he strived to remember. The Destructor advanced on Serena and her transformation fell as he raised an arm. She cried out as he used lightning against her. Darien watched and tears fell from his eyes. 'Why am I crying for her?!' As the lightning shook her, a black rose fell to the floor from her pocket. As it made contact, all the black petals blew off to reveal a tiny, red, rose bud. The rose started glowing and Darien's eyes widened as his memories came rushing back.
"Serena!" he yelled. Serena raised her head through the pain to make eye contact with her love. Tears fell from her eyes and she knew he remembered her.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Amy, Raye, Lita and Mina were tied up, and unconscious. As Serena was being attacked by lightning, the mark of Jupiter appeared on Lita's forehead, and her eyes snapped open.
"Ugh. Where am I?" she asked groggily. She looked around and saw the other scouts. "Amy! Raye! Mina!" she exclaimed, before her planet symbol flashed. 'Serena needs us!'
"By the power of Jupiter, please wake up scouts!" yelled Lita as her green symbol sent out a beam of light to the other three's foreheads, revealing their planet symbol. Lita fell back, tired from using her power. But smiled as their eyes flashed open.
"What happened?" slurred Amy.
"The evil. It is strong. How do we get out of here?" Raye stated looking around her surroundings.
"Serena's in trouble!" groaned Mina. 'I sense Artemis. He is nearby. 'By the power of Venus! Artemis, WAKE UP!' A muffled groan was heard as a white cat stumbled out of the clouds.
He saw Luna wrapped in clouds unconcious. He nuzzled his head against hers ans her eyes opened slowly. She smiled weakly and her cresent moon flashed to Artemis'.
"They have, Serena!" Artemis exclaimed. "You must go help her!!"
~*~*~*~*~*
The Destructor stopped using lightning on Serena, and raised Darien's sword. He put it against her chest over where her heart would be.
"This was too easy," he hissed.
"No!!" yelled Darien, struggling against the ropes holding him. "SERENA!" 'Scouts! where ever you are! Help Serena! Please!! SCOUTS!'
A tear rolled down Serena's face, onto the sword and slid off the sharp blade, falling on the rose. The sword disappeared. The rose glowed.
"What?!" screamed the Destructor.
"Earth Power!" yelled Darien and the rose went whizzing to him, cutting the ropes around him. As he touched the rose, his prince armor appeared. He threw a bouquet of three dozen steel tipped roses at the Destructor. They disappeared into his body. Absorbed by the evil. The Destructor turned to face him a large sword appearing in his hand, but not before wiping the energy from Serena, leaving her unconscious.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The Scouts struggled against the bonds surrounding them, as Darien's voice sounded out. "Scouts! Help Serena!" it echoed as roses appeared, cutting them free. As each of the scouts landed on the ground, they cried out their transformation.
"Mars Crystal Power Transform!"
"Mercury Crystal Power Transform!"
"Venus Crystal Power Transform!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power Transform!"
The Super Sailor Scouts ran off, Mars in the lead, following the vibes she was getting towards Serena.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Darien raised his sword to the Destructor, but was blown back by a wave of energy. The Destructor advanced on him and brought his sword down. Darien rolled out of the way but not fast enough, as the blade cut into his shoulder. He cried out in pain.
~*~*~*~*~*
Serena's moon symbol flashed as she weakly opened her eyes. She saw the sword cut her love and felt as if it had cut her too.
"NO! MOON POWER!!" the clouds surrounding her disappeared and the Destructor turned towards her. Bright light surrounded Serena as she became Princess Serenity. The locket that Darien had given her on the moon, glowed brightly and a silver staff appeared out of the bottom. Blood fell from Darien's wound, but he lifted his sword, and it turned into an identical staff like Serena's, except a golden. Serena lifted the staff and touched her crystal with the other hand, as she spoke her most powerful, and energy draining attack, used by her own mother on the moon.
"Cosmic Moon, Power!! Destroy this darkness!"
"No!" the Destructor screamed as he raised his sword, shooting a black beam of energy towards the Princess. The white light of Serena's attack met his halfway.
And so the battle began... ~*
