The Princess of Middle Earth

Uranus Knight

Chapter 3

Sorrow

Tokyo:

Back in Tokyo, the scouts, cats and Darien was totally unaware of the dangerous land their princess was in. Last nights argument was almost forgotten, and Mina had been chosen as the new leader of the scout team. None of them really cared about Serena at the moment. They all though she as being irresponsible and not fitted to be their leader. Let alone a ruler of a kingdom. But for Serena it hadn't just been the fight with the scouts that had made her want to go back home. Darien had been cheating on her. Not with Rei as she first though, but with Mina. Serena had been shocked and hurt when Artemis had told her of Darien and Mina relationship. After that, a series of events had happened, events that had been an important part of her decision to leave Tokyo. The scouts had begun to yell at her more then usually, even the outer scouts. Darien didn't want to spent time with her and had broken up with her a few days ago. She hadn't been shocked and had, much to his and the scout's surprise, smiled at him, telling him that she hoped that he would be happy now, for this was the last time she would allow her heart to trust him ever again. Darien had been angry and told her to get the hell out of his apartment. Serena had gladly done so.

Rei had been sitting in front of the great fire meditating, when the she felt the power of the silver crystal being released down in the park. Only dressed in her temple ropes and slippers, she had run down to the park to see what was going on. She was confused because she and the scouts had opened the moon locket earlier and had seen the locked inside. So how was this possible?

Upon reaching the park, she saw the last of the silver light fade. Rei blinked a few time. She could feel an enormous amount of power coming from the glowing circle on the ground in front of her. She pulled out her communicator and pressed the 'call all' button.

The outer scouts were sitting in their living room, drinking coffee and tea while watching a movie. Serena was the last person on their minds at the moment.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep." It said as their communicators went off.

"It's Rei. Get to the centre of the park right now, something really strange if going on here."

"We are on our way." Michiru said.

Rini had woken up at the sound of her communicator, and heard Rei telling her to come down to the park immediately. When she had closed her communicator and got up to get dressed, she had found Serena's goodbye letter. She has quickly run out of her room, praying that this was just on of Serena's bad jokes. It was not a joke. Serena's room was a total mess and clothes were lying all over the floor, a long with a two towels. Rini collapsed on the floor, crying. Her mother had left her and she was a part of it. Rini felt miserable as she opened the letter and began to read it.

Finishing reading the letter, Rini was crying silently. Returning to her own room, she quickly threw on some clothes and headed towards the park

Down in the park, the scouts was talking about what the circle and markings of the ground could mean. Ami was typing on her computer and Michiru had pulled her mirror out, asking it about the circle.

"I wonder it mean?" Rei said. "I have never seen anything like this before."

The circle was made of water. But the water was moving, like in a river. And if you looked close enough, you could see your own mirror image in it. The texture was made of very fine crystal dust, and glimmered in the moonlight, making it look a lot clearer then with out it. Haruka had tried to hold the light of her flashlight on it to see it more clearly, but with out luck.

"Has anyone seen Rini?" Darien asked.

"No." Mina said, snuggling closer to him. "Does it really matter anyway?" Darien looked at her.

"GUYS!!" Rini yelled as she came up to them. She had been running the whole way, and was breathing heavily.

"What's wrong, Small lady?" Setsuna asked the little girl, taking her in her arms. "Why are you crying? Has something happened?"

Rini nodded, "Oh Puu, It's awful. MOMMY IS GONE!!" Rini sobered.

"The elderly scout paled visibly. "Rini... What do you mean she is gone?"

Rini, now having the full attention of the scouts, handed Serena's goodbye letter to Setsuna, who took it and began to read it.

The Letter:

"'Dear' scouts and Darien. By the time you read this, I'll be back home were I belong. I want you to know that you have really hurt me by your actions last night, and that you have destroyed the future for good. I find it rather ironic that we have been fighting all these enemies who are trying to over run the earth, only to see you destroy everything. My reason for being later is that I ran into another youma. I don't believe nor expect you to believe me, but should you ever learn of the truth from a third person, you will know that I am speaking the truth. Darien, they that love knows no bounds. But in this case I think it would be appropriate to say that this is one love that is surrounded by bounds and mistrust, your mistrust to me, which I can and will not be a part of, no matter how much I love you. You have all gotten what you wished for, my resignation as leader of the scout team. I am not angry, just hurt. Hurt beyond repair. I might return someday in the future, but that would only be to see how my family is doing, certainly not for your sake.

Sincerely,

Princess Selena." Setsuna read.

"Princess Selena!?!?" Darien said exclaimed confused.

"I thought she was Princess Serenity?" Haruka said equally confused.

"Something very strange is going on here." Michiru said.

"Not to sound mean or anything, guys. But why worry about her?" Mina asked

"How can you say that, Mina?" Rini asked, breaking into uncontrollable sobs. She did not know about Darien and Mina's relationship. "She is still my mother and the future queen."

Haruka went to hug her.

"What I would like to know is WHY the princess left in the first place?" Artemis asked eyeing the others. They all looked down in shame save for Hotaru, who didn't know what was going on either.

"We… we kicked her out of the team." Haruka said in a whisper, hoping that he Artemis didn't hear her.

"WHAT!?!" Artemis yelled. The others cringed. "What in gods name were you thinking? She is the moon princess, not some common girl who you can talk to and do with as you please. Knowing her and her family from the moon, I seriously doubt that she will ever forgive you for what you have done."

"NOOO!" The others said gasping, save for Darien and Mina who looked as if they couldn't care less.

"She must, the future depends on it." Rei said.

"But what do we do? We need her. She is our princess and leader. Not to mention that she is the only one who can destroy the enemy." Lita said.

"Ami see if you can find anything on your computer. Michiru, use your mirror to find out were princess 'Selena' has. Rei, ask the fire if it know where she might have gone."

"What about you?" Haruka asked.

"I'll go to the time gates." Setsuna said, pulling out her wand. "Pluto planet power!" She said, transforming. In a blur she was gone.

The time gates:

Sailor Pluto stood in front of the time gates, looking back over the last few weeks, starting with the day the Dead moon circus appeared. All, the verbal fights between Serena and the scouts had started shortly afterwards, almost as if the dead moon had something to do with it. Her tears started to turn moist as she the day Artemis told her about Darien and Mina's relation ship. She had been crying heart wrenching sobs of pain. Hurt beyond on repair. The images changed to the battle earlier. A battle Setsuna knew that she would regret for the rest of her life... She saw why Serena had been late to the battle. She had met up with another youma, who had attacked her. Pluto stared in horror as the youma's claws run down on Serena's back, causing blood to sting her back. She could see the pain shoot trough her princess as she tried to get up. *Please make it stoop!!!* Pluto's mind cried. She tore her eyes away from the time mirror and closed them.

"Please forgive me, princess, I didn't not mean what I said and did. Please forgive me!!" she cried falling to the ground, hugging her knees to herself.

Back at the temple, Rei was sitting in front of the great fire meditating, while Michiru and Ami was using their computer and mirror trying to locate Serena. Ami had tried Tokyo airport to find out if Serena had gone to another country, but had come up empty handed. Michiru couldn't find much either. She could only see the previous battle and see why Serena had been late. She started to cry silently as she saw the battle Serena was, causing her delay. Ami noticed her tears and went to hug her.

"Don't worry Michiru. We'll find her and she will forgive us, I am sure of it." Ami said.

Michiru said nothing. She merely turned the mirror for Ami to see. Ami gasped as the youmas claw's cut trough Serena's back.

"Oh, Serena. Why didn't you just tell us?" Ami cried.

The time gates:

Pluto's sobering was slowly coming to an end. The images in the mirror had now changed to when Serena was leaving. Pluto could see Serena go into the park, right to the place where she and the others had seen the circle earlier tonight.

"Please take me back to my home, Silver Crystal." Pluto heard Serena say. The circle appeared on the ground under Serena and the beam of light shot to the heaven. A few seconds later, Serena was gone.

"But where have you gone!?" Pluto said in frustration.

Rei, however, was having more luck then Setsuna in finding Serena. But she also found something and much, much worse. Something that made a shiver go down her spin. A huge red eye with a black iris, lid less and covered in flames, gazed at her. Haruka, Michiru and Ami, who now stood behind her, felt their knees go weak at the sight. It was as if the eye stole all hope, love, and everything that they believed in, turning it nothingness. Rei felt probably the strongest evil she had ever felt emanating from the eye. She felt weak. Like all her powers as a scout had been sucked out of her. The fire image changed, showing a huge city with long towers and a wide back around it. The images changed again, and this time Rei gasped. She saw a girl with long blond hair, nicely done in a pony tail, dressed in armour, fighting the ugliest creatures she had ever seen.

A man walked up to her, "I love you, princess Selena."

"And I love you, my handsome prince of middle earth." The girl replied, as they fell into a kiss. Rei was pulled out of her fire reading by a shriek that came from the three girls behind her.

"She... she kissed someone else, besides Darien." Michiru exclaimed shocked.

Ami and Haruka blinked a few times. They looked at each other and then back at Rei, who was equally shocked.

Middle Earth,
The Inn of the prancing pony:

Frodo was being pulled up the stairs, and pushed roughly inside room. Serena had noticed it and had got up to follow them, at a secure distance to see what was going on.

"What do you want?" Frodo asked as the man closed the door behind them

"A little more caution from you. That is no trinket you carry." The man said.

"I carry nothing. Frodo replied.

"Indeed." The man retorted sarcastically. "I can avoid been seen, but to disappear entirely... that is very rare gift."

"Who are you?" Frodo asked.

"Are you frightened?"

"Not nearly frightened enough, I know what hunts you." The man replied. He turned around, drawing his sword as the door opened, only to stand face to face with...
