Chapter 6 …… Their First Battle
Darien pulls up to the gate at the start of his driveway and leans out his window to punch in his code. The gate swings open and Darien drives in followed by the bikes. He parks by the front door and he turns off his car and gets out.
Serena gets out with Artemis in her arms. She looks at the house, "Oh my god Endy this place is huge."
Darien chuckles as he sees the faces on Serena, Mina, Lita and Ami.
"What about our bags?" asks Serena as Darien walks to the front door.
"Leave them there. I'll have one of the servants bring them up to my room. Come on you guys." Says Darien as he opens the front door to see Rosa standing there waiting.
"Afternoon Rosa." Says Rei as she walks in the house and takes off her shoes.
"Rei your grandfather called looking for you. I covered for you saying you were here. You should go call him." Says Rosa as she smiles at the four girls behind Darien.
"Ok. I'll use the phone in the study." Says Rei before walking off down a hallway to the right.
"My Darien who are these lovely ladies. And I am upset that you didn't call last night."
Serena, Mina, Lit and Ami blush at what Rosa says.
"Oh Rosa. I forgot sorry. These are my new friends, Lita, Mina and Ami." Says Darien leaving Serena out on puropse.
"Hey what about me?" says Serena poking Darien in the side.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about you. Rosa this is my girlfriend Serena."
"Oh my Darien you finally have a girlfriend. You must think she is a good person along with beautiful. It's nice to meet you girls."
Serena smiles and hugs Darien's arm.
"My that cat looks just like Luna but only white." Says Rosa seeing Artemis on Mina's shoulder.
"This is Artemis." Says Mina as she scratches behind Artemis's ears.
"Well I'll leave you guys to your business. Oh before I forget Darien your parents will be home in about an hour. Not that you care or anything I just wanted to let you know."
"Thank you Rosa. Could you send someone to get the bags out of my car and bring them up to my room?"
"Of course Darien." Says Rosa as she walks away down a hallway on their left.
"Come on girls, off to my room. I'm sure Luna is there." Says Darien as he takes Serena's hand and pulls her to the stairs.
Once upstairs they walk to Darien's room and they go inside.
As they walk inside they see Rei standing there in the middle of the room holding a black cat in her arms.
"Took the back way up I see." Says Darien as he walks over to his bed and sits down.
The cat jumps out of Rei's arms and onto the bed. She walks over to Darien and curls up in his lap.
Serena kneels on the floor in front of Darien and looks at the cat, "That is my spot."
"Hmmm, nice to see you Serenity." Says the cat as she looks at Serena.
"Luna?" says Artemis.
"Artemis!" yells Luna as she sits up and looks at the cat on the floor beside Serena.
"I can't believe it. It's really you. I've been looking for you for so long." Says Artemis as he jumps up onto the bed beside Darien.
"I have been looking for you too. So have you found her yet?"
"You mean Sailor Moon?" asks Darien.
"Oh my how did you know? Artemis what have you told them?" says Luna looking at Darien then at Artemis.
"Only what I could. They need their memories back. I found all the scouts and the princess." Says Artemis looking at the five girls in front of him.
"Oh my. I can give you your memories back but I'm afraid I can't give Darien and Serena their memories."
"Why not Luna?" asks Serena as she crosses her arms over Darien's legs and she rests her head on her arms while looking at Luna and Artemis.
"I'm not sure. You have to remember on your own. You four follow me." Says Luna looking from Serena to Ami, Lita, Mina and Rei then jumping off the bed and walking into a room joined to Darien's bedroom.
The girls follow Luna and Artemis joins them as well. Leaving Serena and Darien alone.
"We have to remember ourselves. That's fucking insane." Mumbles Serena.
"We have already begun to remember. Our attraction to each other is a memory, our names for each other is another memory." Says Darien as he looks down at Serena.
Serena sits up and looks up at Darien, "I know but it would be so much easier if Luna could just give us our memories back."
"I know." Says Darien as he lies down on his back on the bed.
Serena gets up onto the bed and lies down on her side beside Darien. She pushes against his side and lays her head on his shoulder; she drapes her right arms across his chest letting her hand lay on his other shoulder. "Does this seem right to you?"
"It does Serenity." Says Darien as he wraps his arm that Serena is lying on around her shoulders, holding her close to him.
"I could stay here with you forever like this. I love you Endymion."
"I love you too Serenity."
A knock comes on the bedroom door; "Come in calls Darien."
The door opens and a couple of servants walk in with the bags from Darien's car. Darien looks at them and points to the floor by the closet, "Right there will be fine. Thank you."
"Yes sir." They say as they put the bags down and leave again.
Serena suddenly sits up on the bed and looks around the room.
Darien slowly sits up and puts his hands on Serena's shoulders, "Serenity?"
"Something isn't right." Mumbles Serena as a door opens and the girls walk in with Luna and Artemis.
"Sailor's something is wrong." Says Serena as she looks at the group before her.
"She knows?" asks Rei as she fiddles with her sailor skirt.
"I know something is wrong and I know where." Says Serena getting up off the bed and walking to the bedroom door.
"Serenity wait." Says Darien as he gets up and follows Serena.
The girls and the cats run to catch up with Serena and Darien who are now outside and running.
Serena runs as fast as she can to where she is feeling the negative coming from. She runs into the park and stops as she sees a big monster cat attacking some people.
Darien finally catches up to Serena and stops dead in his tracks as he sees the huge monster in front of her.
The scouts and the cats catch up and see Darien standing in front of Serena trying to protect her from the giant cat monster.
The cat sees Darien and Serena, it was over and hits Darien throwing him out of the way.
Serena screams as Darien gets hit and is thrown off to the side. She continues to scream as the cat picks her up in it's hand. She starts to cry along with her screaming and a bright yellow light shines and soon fades to reveal Serena in a long flowing white dress with a crescent moon on her forehead.
"Princess Serenity." Says Luna looking at the passed out Serena in the cats huge hand.
"We have to save her." Yells Ami as she runs over to Darien to try and wake him up.
"Mars Fireball Ignite." Shouts Rei as she shoots a stream of fire at the cat monster.
The cat screams and drops Serena into Lita's arms. Lit jump up into a tree and tries to wake Serena up.
"Serenity wake up. Come on wake up." Shouts Lita as she gently shakes Serena.
"Darien come on." Says Ami as she finally gets Darien awake.
"What happened? Where's Serena?" says Darien looking around and seeing Rei and Mina fighting the cat.
"She's up here." Shouts Lita.
Darien looks up to see Serena has changed. "I know her." Mumbles Darien.
Suddenly Darien hears a voice in his head, "Endymion please help them find me. Help my scouts find Sailor Moon."
Darien looks around then back up to Lita and Serenity.
Serenity finally woke up and she is watching Darien carefully. "Remember who you are. You're my prince. Prince Endymion." Says Serenity softly.
Screams come from Mina and Rei as they are hit by the monster and flung back against some trees.
"Mars! Venus!" yells Ami and Lita together.
Ami runs off to fight the monster as Lita jumps down from the tree and lands next to Darien with Serenity in her arms. "Watch her." She says as she hands Serenity to Darien and runs off to fight.
"Endy please remember. I miss you so much." Says Serenity as she holds onto Darien and watches her friends fight.
"I can't." says Darien softly.
"Then I will make you remember." Says Serenity as she stands up.
"What are you going to do?" asks Luna as she sees Serenity's face.
"I'm going to make my prince remember who he is." Says Serenity sternly as she walks towards the monster cat.
"Serenity no!" yells Darien as he watches Serenity walk up to the cat.
"Moon Crystal Power!" yells Serenity as she holds her hands up and in between them floats a crystal. A beam of light shoot from the crystal right at the monster cat. With a bright flash the cat is turned into dust and Serenity collapses.
"How is that supposed to make me remember?" says Darien looking at Luna as he gets up and runs for Serenity.
"Is the crystal broken?" asks Luna as she and Artemis walks up to Serenity and Darien.
"Yeah there are shards everywhere." Says Darien as he looks around.
"She gave her life Darien. If the crystal breaks she dies." Says Mina as she walks up holding onto Ami for support.
"She can't be dead." Says Darien as he scoops up Serenity's limp, lifeless body into his arms.
"She can't die we just got back together. We need her." Cries Lita as she slumps to the ground crying.
Darien rocks back and forth with Serenity in his arms. A single tear falls from his eye and lands on Serenity's chest above her heart.
"He's remembering." Says Rei as he looks at Darien and sees the symbol for earth on his forehead.
Suddenly Darien changes.
"Prince Endymion." Says Luna and Artemis together.
Endymion kisses Serenity on the lips softly, he breaks the kiss and whispers, "I remembered. My love I remembered, please come back to me."
