Chapter 4
Chris looked at Birdie, anger building up inside him. "You bitch! You will pay for hurting her."
Birdie smirked evilly, "Really? I am looking forward to it."
Chris stood up with a determent look on his face. "You are going down! Sun Crystal, by my right of succession, given too me as Prince of the Sun, I CALL YOU UPON YOUR POWER AND STRENGTH!!" He was engulfed in a golden light. As the light faded, Chris was standing there dressed in silver armour with a sword in his right hand and a cape hanging from his shoulders. The light evening breeze made his cape move with the wind.
Birdie's smile was long gone and was now replaced by an uncertain look.
"I don't know who you are, but you are not going to interrupt my operation." She yelled, powering up and sending a blast towards Chris. The battle was on.
Serena woke up to the sounds of battle. Looking around, she saw a man fighting a droid and Birdie. She shakily got to her knees. A feeling of recognition came over Serena. She knew that she had seen that man before but couldn't place it. But then the memories hit her. She started to glow a white silver colour.
'Flash back: Silver millennium'
"So there you are, little moon princess." Queen Beryl's voice taunted. "This time you shall not escape. You shall die with this kingdom and everyone that lives here."
"You will never harm her Beryl!!" An angry voice yelled.
Beryl turned around to see, not Endymion, but the seven princes of the Sun, Moon, Uranus, Mercury, Pluto, Saturn and Venus standing there in front of her. "Harm her and it will be your last act."
Beryl knew better then to get into a fight with the six princes. She hated them, mostly because they were much stronger then her own generals.
"Y… you!!" She spat. "I thought that you were dead!"
"We are living ghosts." The prince of Pluto said. "And soon you shall follow; you and your minions."
"Never!!" Beryl yelled. And she sent a blast towards Chris.
Serena rushed to Chris side, crying. "Chris? Please love, wake up! Chris?! Open your eyes! Damn!!"
'End flash back'
The light disappeared, and Serena was now dressed in a white gown, with long silver sleeves, the gold coloured crescent moon shinning on her forehead. But there was something different about it. It had a silver aura now, and her earrings weren't gold anymore either, but silver.
"Who… who are you??" Birdie stammered.
"I am the Princess of the Moon and the Silver Millennium."
"Serenity?" Chris whispered. 'But how?' he thought to himself. All of sudden more people appeared, also dressed in armour.
"Chris what is going on? And why am I in my…" Jason was interrupted as Chris just pointed towards Serenity.
"We've found her." Were his only reply.
'Rubeus, I need help fast!!' Birdie screamed inside her mind. Rubeus and the three other sisters appeared and gasped at what they saw.
"Serenity!!!" Rubeus exclaimed shocked. The three sisters looked equally stunned.
"Princess Serenity! I don't hope you planed on starting the party without us." A male voice said.
A wide smile crept upon Serenity's face, as she recognized the voice, "Of course, not dear Prince of Mercury…"
"Hey sis!!" Sailor Sun and Universe squealed.
"Nice too see you two!" Serena said, smiling.
"…I am at your service, Princess Serenity." Mercury said, bowing.
"Good, then let's give these creeps a warm goodbye party." She said.
'Darien's apartment'
He had felt her transformation, but at the same time he didn't understand why she had transformed. She had been forbidden to do so. But there was something else that bothered him and that was the fact that she hadn't transformed into Sailor Moon, but princess Serenity! Wit out giving it another thought, he leapt over his balcony and down on the street, running towards her energy signal.
'The park'
Darien hid in a nearby tree, watching the scene in front of him. Serena was in the form of Princess Serenity, but she was different. And then there were these men that were fighting with her.
All the droids were dusted, and the four sisters were beaten.
"I don't know how you have done this Princess, but believe me, you haven't seen the last of us. Sisters retread."
"I will be waiting for you Rubeus." Serenity said, smiling.
That made Rubeus even angrier. "You will die princess!!" he yelled, "and the little spore will be mine!!"
"If you harm Rini, Rubeus, I promise that I will hunt you down and not even your master can protect you from my wrath." Serenity replied slowly, but in a tone that could not be mistaken. It was a tone filled with promise of pain.
"Grrr!" Rubeus and the sisters disappeared into the night.
"Chris?" Serenity said, looking at him, love shining in her eyes.
"My sweet Serenity." Chris said as he wrapped his arms around her, kissing her passionately.
Darien was boiling with jealousy. Serena was 'HIS' girlfriend and no one else's.
"I love you Chris." Serenity whispered.
"I love you too Serenity." Chris whispered back.
To say that Darien was shocked was an understatement. He couldn't believe what he had just heard, Serena confessing her love for another man! It was the worst nightmare times two. Silently he left the area sending a final look at 'his Serena' and the other man. He definitely needed to talk to the scouts about this in the morning.

Serena was happily walking down the street on her way home from school, while thinking about Chris. She longed to be with him and couldn't wait to be with him after the meeting. She and the other guys where going to meet at 5 o'clock to discuss how to protect Rini. She tried very hard to forget the earlier events of the day, when Ami and Lita had cornered her right before lunch.
~
During lunch, she had been standing on the large hall talking to Jason, when Lita and Ami had walked up to her and pulled her to the side.
"Serena, we are having a meeting a 4 o'clock. Don't be late!" Ami said.
"DON'T BE LATE!!??" Serena yelled, "I am not even going to be there at all. Do you really think that I will drop everything just to be included in the team again? Forget it! It isn't going to happen, ever. I have a new life now, one that I am quit content with, thank you. You had my help and didn't want it, so don't come crawling back and ask for my help, ever!" She turned on her heels and stomped away, leaving two dumbfounded girls behind, while she cursed and yelled.
Jason shrugged, and walked after her. Ami and Lita exchanged worried looks, "I think we had better have a long meeting, Ami." Lita said.
"I think you are right, Lita." Ami replied, "Not to mention a plan. We NEED to get her back. Otherwise we are going get our butts kicked next time a droid shows."
Lita nodded, as the two girls headed towards the lunch area. Things hadn't turned out the way they have planned it. Not that anything had done so lately.
Chris had picked Rini up for Serena. The little Pink haired girl had gotten to like him very much, even more then she liked Darien, who had gotten SO strange ever since they rejected Serena from the team. Rini had been with both Chris and Serena a few times and when they were together, Rini felt like she was home.
"So did you have a good day in school?" Chris asked.
Rini nodded, "Yeah I did!" She said, "But a friend of mine was acting very strange today."
"Oh, strange? ...In what way?" Chris asked.
"Don't know, but she was very distant and silent."
"Hmm… Well, every once in a while we have days that are like that."
"I know. It just seems as if she has those days a lot lately."
"Want to grab an Ice cream?" Chris asked, fully aware of the answer.
"Yeah!!" Rini said with a wide smile on her face.
'So much like Serenity. I wonder who you really are Rini…' then it hit him. He gave a mental chuckle, knowing what her real name was. 'Why didn't I see it before? Her name is so obvious: Serenity.'
'On board Rubeus' ship'
"I am more than disappointed with you Rubeus!!!" Wiseman bellowed, "Once again you let those Sailor brats interfere with our plans. Tell me why?"
"It wasn't the sailors," Rubeus said quietly, "it was…"
"Was who!?!" Wiseman yelled.
"Princess Serenity," Rubeus continued, "she and 14 men beat our droids like they were nothing. It was a 'walk over' for them and we used the same droids as we have done in the fight against the scouts, giving them a hard time defeating them."
"Hmm… Change of plans Rubeus. Instead of killing the scouts, I want you to capture them. They will make a good addition to our army."
Rubeus grinned evilly, "As you wish Wiseman."
"Soon, young Princess, your scout's shall be mine. Forever!!!"
'Raye's temple'
It was almost time for the scout meeting to begin, and Serena, Ami and Lita were nowhere to be found.
"Where are they?" Mina asked, annoyed.
"See? I told you it was a mistake inviting Serena here," Raye said. "Not only is she late, but she is also making Ami and Lita." Raye had just finished her speech when Ami and Lita walked up the stairs, both of them having sad expressions on their faces.
Amara was the first to notice that. "What happened? Where is Serena?"
"She… she isn't coming, Amara." Ami said sadly.
The other girls just stood there like statues.
"Why not?" Michelle asked.
"I…I…" Ami broke down into sobs and Lita just looked ill.
"Michelle got up, and walked towards Ami, "Ami what happened?"
"She is really pissed at us," Lita said, "I've never seen Serena so angry before. She was like ready to kill."
The other girls didn't say a word. They had hoped that Serena would gladly accept the opportunity to be included in the team once more. But nothing had prepared them for this.
Amara and Michelle didn't know what to say. Ami, Hotaru and Lita cried silent tears. Raye and Mina had collapsed on hearing the sobering news and Darien looked very ill.
"Th-that is not all," Darien said quietly, "It gets a lot worse. She is in love with someone else."
