Back to Murakumo and Serenity
Serena awoke to find herself in her princess form. "What's going on here? I'm not on the moon! It was destroyed five millennia ago!" Suddenly, there was a flash of bright light and the next thing she knew, she was in the palace ballroom. There were people dancing from all over the silver millennium. Suddenly, a man dressed in a white tuxedo with green accents and a white mask approaches her.
"Milady, would you care for a dance?"
"I thought that you'd never ask love." She found herself replying. What am I thinking; and who is this man? She asked herself.
The man smiled sweetly and took her in his arms and they began their waltz. When the waltz finished, the man leads her to a balcony.
"Oh Serenity, how I've missed you! When I was forced to protect Earth and not see you for three years…" he trails off into thought and stares at her. He suddenly pulls a beautiful blue rose out of his cape and gives it to his love.
"Oh! It's so beautiful! I'll use it to remember you when you're gone. And I know how you feel my love, I to have longed for your presence."
And with that the Princess and her Prince come together for an achingly sweet kiss. Suddenly are dark light fills the air and a blast of evil energy hit the couple and Serenity knew nothing more.
After the transport Murakumo felt drained, beyond reason. He looked around to see if Serenity had safely teleported but couldn't find her anywhere.
"Serenity! Where are you?" Suddenly a fog entered the room and Murakumo knew no more.
Murakumo found he was dressed in a white tux. He quickly surveyed the room and found it to be a strange, yet, beautiful ballroom. He saw many couples dancing to a soothing, yet, achingly familiar song. He then spotted Serenity. She looked fantastic. She wore a white dress with golden accents that had a bow wrapped around her waist, giving her the illusion of wings, she reminded him of an angel. He immediately walked over to her.
"Milady, would you care for a dance?"
She looked up startled, "I thought that you'd never ask love."
Murakumo quickly hid his surprise and smiled tenderly. My
love? Where did that come from?
Murakumo then led Serenity to the dance floor and they waltzed. After the dance he led her to a balcony. He hears himself say, "Oh Serenity, how I've missed you! When I was forced to protect Earth and not see you for three years…" he trails off into thought and stares at her. He suddenly pulls a beautiful blue rose out of his cape and gives it to his love. Ah, what a perfect move! I'm going to have to try that one when I get out of here. His thoughts were interrupted when Serenity began speaking.
"Oh! It's so beautiful! I'll use it to remember you when you're gone. And I know how you feel my love, I to have longed for your presence."
After this Murakumo finally succumbs to his emotions and gathers Serenity into a sweet yet passion filled kiss. Suddenly he senses a dark presence and is then blasted into oblivion with his princess. Murakumo could remember nothing more afterwards.
When Serenity awoke she found herself in a room filled with smoke.
"Where am I? And who was that man in my dreams?" Suddenly, she sees a dark shadow in the corner. When she investigates, she finds that it's Momiji.
"Momiji! Are you ok?" Serenity asks while she's cutting the Kushinada loose.
"Unnn…Can anyone get me license of the Mack truck that hit me?" She asks.
"Can you stand?" Momiji nods and weakly gets to her feet.
"What happened to you?"
"We were visiting Tokyo Tower on a field trip when a strange mist came. I tried to call Kusanagi, but I found him unconscious on the floor. The next thing that I remember is hanging here. Hey! How did you get here?"
"I warped with the help of a friend of mine, but I guess this dimension threw off our landing. He's not here and I am. Lets look for a way out of here." And with that the girls began searching.
Murakumo finally came to and found that he was trapped in a small white room filled with fog. He began testing the room's dimensions when he came across a very beaten Kusanagi.
"Kusanagi! Wake up before I have to fry you awake! You imperfect soul!" He screamed to try and cover the panic that filled him at seeing the Kushinada's protector down for the count.
"H…Hey! You're supposed to be asleep! How can you be here?"
"I was given a mission by Susano-oh to help his daughter Ser…Sailor Cosmos protect you and the Kushinada and to help her defeat her uncle. If I do these things, I've been promised my memories and a reward."
"Well, If you're here to help, then lets find a way out of here!"
"I will, I just wish I knew where Cosmos was…we teleported here together."
"From what I can see, she can take care of herself…I hope she found Momiji though."
Suddenly all four heard an ominous chuckle. "You will never leave this place alive! I will kill your precious Kushinada and rule this world!"
"Don't worry Momiji, I'm here to protect you and the guys are here somewhere, they'll help us!" And with that Cosmos went to sit and concentrate on her mitama.
"You have a silver mitama!" screeched Momiji.
