Chapter 9
A few minutes past after Darien had left the Tsukino house hold, as no one dared to say a word. Mr and Misses Tsukino just looked at their daughter standing there in a white silk gown with long see-trough sleeves. She was truly breath taking like that. Mr. Tsukino blinked a couple of times, not really believing what he was seeing. Chris walked up to Serena and placed a hand on her shoulder. She just turned around and flung herself into his arms, which instantly closed around her in a comforting hug.
"Would someone please tell me what the hell is going on here?" Mr.Tsukino said demandingly.
Chris looked down at Serena. She nodded.
"Of course, if you want to know." Chris replied.
"We do." Came the short reply from Serena's parents.
"Very well, then. I suggest that you sit down because this is quite a tale." The moon knight said de-transforming into Andrew.
All of them sat down, and Chris began to explain everything about the past and the present. When he was done, Mr and Misses Tsukino looked stunned and amazed at their daughter. They had always thought her as being totally irresponsible. Never in there whole life, had they imagined that she, of all people, would be the super hero sailor moon.
"So our daughter is a princess from another time?" Miss Tsukino asked shocked.
"Yes. I am supreme Princess of the Moon, Princess Serenity." Serena answered her mother's question.
Sammy hadn't said a word through all this, until now. "Umm sis, isn't Darien your boyfriend?"
"No, Sammy, He is not my boyfriend. Not anymore at least."
"You're Sammy?" Greg asked.
"Yes I am."
"Tell me something. How old are you?" Justin asked.
"I am 15 years old." Sammy replied. (Serena and the rest of the inner scouts are 16 here.)
"He's just the right age." Chris said.
"You guys are not thinking what I think you thinking, are you?" Serena said.
"Do you have objections, Serena?" Chris asked. "You do know that he can become power full. You and he are the same blood, not to mention that he WAS a knight in training back then."
"What are you talking about?" Mr Tsukino asked.
Serena frowned deeply, not really liking where this was going. She remembered when she had been fourteen and Luna had made her fight. "They want to make you a knight, Sammy, so you can finish what you started almost 1500 years ago." Serena said.
"Me? A knight? COOL!!" Sammy exclaimed. Mr and Misses Tsukino just looked on, shocked.
"It's not easy, Sammy." Jason said.
"You do it." Sammy said. Jason laughed. "True. But I have been going trough 10 years of training first. However, if you want to then we will train you. But it's not easy."
"I want to do it." Sammy said, "Especially after how that Darien guy acted towards my sister."
Chris looked at Serena. They both stepped up to Sammy and placed their hands on his head. They were slowly covered in silver light. Power rushed into Sammy and he felt a strange sensation in his mind and veins that he had not felt before. When the light faded, Sammy was dressed in Aqua coloured uniform with armour and a cape down his back. To his left side hang a sword with a star at the top of the handle.
"You are now the lord-knight of Neptune, The Knight Neptune, Sammy." Serena said.
He looked towards Chris and Serena. "I promise that I will do everything in my power to protect and serve the two of you." Sammy said, bowing.
"Welcome to the court, Sammy." Justin said.

As Darien reappeared back in his apartment he instantly fell to the floor, holding his head in pain. It was as if something was hammering inside his head with a 6 pound sledgehammer. When the pain subdued he had an evil smile on his face and an upside down crescent moon on his forehead. Soon my dear, Princess Serenity, soon you shall be all mine and your little friends shall die. and with those words he walked out of apartment to find the scouts.
~
Darien went down to the park. Something was telling that he would find the scouts here. A little voice in his head was telling him to bring the scouts to the Death Phantom so that they could be 'healed' from the power of the light.
~
Michelle was taking a stroll in the park, wanting to think of something else for a change. She wanted to go and talk with Serena alone but she didn't really have the courage to do that. Imagine that the scout of the sea doesn't have the courage to talk to her leader. How pathetic. she thought to herself. She spotted Ami and Mina up ahead and walked up to them.
"Hey guys. What's up?" She asked them.
"Nothing much really," Ami said, "Being depressed at usually."
"Yeah depressed," Mina said, "As if that was anything new."
"I can help you get her back." A voice behind them said, "But you will have to come with me."
"Darien," The three girls said, "I thought you had gone to see Serena," Ami said.
"I did, she wasn't there." He lied, but no one noticed it.
"So how can you make Serena forgive us?" Michelle asked. "Unless I am mistaken, she is also rather angry at you."
"True, but I need your help to talk to her and make her understand."
"I am ready to try anything at this time." Mina said meekly. "I am about to turn into a water fall." The two other girls nodded.
"Good then come with me." Darien said and walked away. The girls hesitated a bit but then soon followed him, totally unaware of his evil intentions.

Later that day... Sammy and Jason were walking down the street towards the arcade to meet up with the Justin and the Generals. Sammy was to be introduced to them and begin his training. But Sammy had a feeling that something wasn't right, a feeling that had been hunting him for the past few hours. It had come suddenly, as if someone was in pain and distress. He shrugged it of him as being a side effect due to the fact that he couldn't fully control his powers yet. They walked into the arcade, were Andrew was waiting for them.
"Glad you guys could make it." He said.
"Andrew, can I talk to you for a second?" Sammy asked.
"Sure, what's up?"
"I don't know. For that past two hours I have been having a strange feeling. Like someone is in pain need of help." Sammy said.
"Are you sure about this?" Andrew asked.
"Yes I am. At first I thought it to be something normal since I am not yet used to my new powers, but I can't loose the feeling."
"Hmmm. Did you ask Jason about it?"
"No not yet. I wanted to talk to you first since you gave me these powers."
"That is were you are wrong." Andrew said.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Sammy asked.
"Serena and I didn't give you these powers. All we did was awake them."
"You mean...?" Sammy asked shocked.
"Yes Sammy. You are from the Silver Millennium as well. You were born on the Moon. Your parents were nobles courting Queen Serenity. And the pain and distress you can feel comes from your princess."
"My WHAT!?!" Sammy exclaimed.
Andrew broke into laughter. "Your princess, the princess of Neptune. You meet her when she was travelling from Neptune to the Moon. Her shuttle had problems and didn't make it to the Moon Palace. Your father found her and brought her home to where your family lived. That's how you two met each other and fell very much in love. But princess Michiru's parent's wouldn't hear of it; you and her being in love, so she asked the Moon Queen, Queen Serenity, to make you a Lord-knight so that your relation ship would be 'legal'. "
"So you are telling me that she might be in danger. Is that's what I am feeling?" Sammy asked.
"Yes, it could very well be that. She and the other scouts have been emotionally unstable lately with this break-up and betrayal stuff going on."
Sammy looked at the floor, "I still can't believe that she would do something like that to my sister."
"Greg and Justin have and idea about that." Damien said, coming up to the two of them. "They have a hunch that the scouts have been manipulated with."
"Bye who?" Sammy demanded.
"The enemy of course, they are from the future just like Rini is. She is your nice, by the way and Serena's and Chris' daughter."
Sammy blinked, sinking in all the information that was being given to him.
"Are we ready to begin?" Derrick asked and he and André walked up to them.
"Yes. Come Sammy, it's time for your training. We need to make you capable to protect your fiancé." Chris said.
Hours went bye and the training went well. Sammy learned how to fight with a sword, how to call out an attack fast and flawlessly and how to transform into a different set of clothes, using his powers. The Generals, who mainly stood for the training, was impressed at how skilfully Sammy handled a sword and his powers.
"He sure is a fast learner." Greg said.
"Yes he is," Jason said. "But can he handle a knight as well?"
"He should," Chris said. "Remember, we are all trained by Generals. The fact that we are knights has something to do with our tasks and assignments. But if you want to test him, Jason, why don't you just do so. But remember, he's still a rookie compared to you."
"Don't worry. I won't make him to dry behind the ears." Jason said smirking.
"Blabber mouth." Mark, Ken and Jake said in unison.
"Okay Sammy, let's see what you can do." Jason said.
"I... I can't fight you." Sammy said. The others laughed.
"Yes, you can, Sammy. Just think of him as a youma. That usually helps."
Sammy nodded, and drew his sword holding it the blade up in front of his face. Jason frowned at his actions, but Chris only smiled. It was a tradition in the Lunarian armies and since Sammy was a Lunar Knight it was part of his training that you did that to your opponent. Just like a salutation.
"I am not sure that you mean with that. But it won't help you winning." Jason said.
"Whatever, you say Jason." Sammy replied. The fight went well and Sammy was winning, much to Jason's irritation. With one swift move, Sammy knocked the sword out of Jason's hand. "I am afraid that you have lost, Jason." Sammy said.
Jason gave a smirk, "It looks that way." They went to get something to drink and eat. After a few more hours Sammy left the arcade.

Three young, not to mention very beautiful and elegant, young ladies stood in front of a man dressed in white. All of them had a black upside down crescent moon on their foreheads. One was dressed in a blue dress. Another one was dressed in an orange gown and the third in an Aqua coloured dress. Their hair was done in a nicely ponytail and they had thick lipstick on and way to much make up on.
"Welcome to the Dark Moon Family, Ladies." The man sitting on the throne said.
"Thank you, prince Diamond." Lady Neptune said. Her green eyes glistered evilly. Prince Diamond smiled. I want you to bring the Moon Princess here. Set a trap and capture her.
The three girls smiled widely. "Of course, you're Majesty." Lady Mercury replied. The three of them disappeared.
"Prince Diamond." The Wiseman said, "Are you sure it's good time to send them to the past now? I am sensing a VERY strong power coming from back there."
"I don't see why not." Diamond said.
"As you wish." Wiseman replied, his eyes glowing brightly red.
~
"So... how do we make Serena come to us?" Lady Venus asked.
"Simply, we use her brother to set a trap. The knights and her lover are too powerful for us to handle like this." Lady Mercury said.
"Excellent idea, but were do we find him?" Lady Neptune asked.
"Well, well what a coincidence." Lady Venus said, smirking. "Come girls, we are going to have a little party with a young boy."
~
Sammy was taking a quite road home trough the park. He needed to think about the past and his princess, Princess Michiru. He had seen Michelle and the arcade with her girlfriend Amara. Now he understood why he sometimes felt empty inside when he saw the two of them together. He stopped and looked at the moon. If only you could remember, princess. He thought to himself. Not to mention knowing about what evil plot the enemy have made. He gave a sigh and tossed a stone in the water. "Plump!" It said as the stone hit the water.
"Well hello there, handsome." A voice said. Sammy turned around calmly, knowing fully who it was that was standing behind him.
"And good evening to you too..." He trailed off when he saw 'her'."
**************
Muhahahaha. The attack of the evil author. ^_^ Now who is standing there in front of Sammy and what will he do??? I AM NO TELLING YOU!! You will simply have wait.
