-Endymion-

"...Disappear on me." Those were my last words before she left. 'Is she incapable of listening to me? Does she think I just stand here and don't know what I am talking about? Like I'm not trying to oh, I don't know- watch out for her?' Sighing, I picked up my hand and started going through my work again. If this fight got any worse, Crystal Tokyo would be gone. Worse, if Prince Diamond-
The door to my office all of a sudden burst open. It was Dimitrius.
"Dimitrius," I began, my voice rising, "how many time do I have to tell you to knoc-"
"My Lord," he interrupted me. "They stopped fighting."
"What do you mean they *stopped*?" I demanded my mind reeling. 'Our troops quit. We can't surrender. If we surrender, we might as well all-'
"I have no clue, sir. They just stopped attacking."
Something in my brain clicked. "You mean the Dark Moon stopped fighting?"
Dimitrius nodded.
"No way!" I burst out. "There has to be a reason." I quickly fled out the door into the palace with Dimitrius in tow.
In the Palace, there were people screaming and clapping. I saw one guy bring out 10 or 12 bottles of champagne. 'They don't understand. They think we won.'
"Can you believe it?" Jedite, a close friend of mine, threw his arm around my shoulders. "We beat those little whiny butts."
"Not now," I growled, pulling away and headed out the palace. Even outside you could hear cheers and laughter. 'Stop,' I wanted to shout, 'its not over. It can't be.'
Have I ever told you how good I was at predicting these things? Okay, well let me tell I am. This was proved when prince Diamond himself appeared in front of me, floating in the air.
"King Endymion," he said in a mocking tone, bowing in equal mockery. "What aren't you celebrating with the fellow civilians? I mean, you are their King, aren't you? Maybe you're just too good for them, eh?"
"Diamond, what on earth do you think you are doing?" I lashed out, ignoring his previous comments. "I know you do not just give up. You're too stubborn for that."
He let out a slight laugh, pushing his silver hair to the side. "Why, I've underestimated you. You are definitely smarter than you act."
I just glared at him. "Answer the question Diamond, *now*!"
"Hmm..." he said thoughtfully, "don't you have other matters to think about? Like where your queen may be?"
"I already know where she is, she's hiding out in the city," I said way too quickly. Hopefully, it sounded more believable to him, than it did to me.
"Really now?" he raised his chin to me. His calmness was throwing me. "That's so strange, I could have sworn I saw her. Oh wait, I did. I did see her. And her other self, Sailor Moon. Wouldn't it be just helpful if I captured both of them at once?"
My blood pressure just about exploded, which would explain me throwing a rose at his face. Unfortunately, he blocked it with his cape. But I could tell it hit him in the chin with the amount of blood pouring out.
"You are so weak!" Diamond bellowed. "You will pay. Your whole kingdom will pay. And what better way to do it in the past?"
I turned to leave but his haunting voice stopped me.
"Your the only thing holding up this kingdom. If you go back to the past, I will strike at that moment in the future, and there will be no future." As one last drop of blood fell, he disappeared.
Running, I sped back into the palace, through the groups of people and back to my office door where Dimitrius was waiting patiently.
"Dimitrius," I got out between gasps, "warn the people the fight is not over. Tell them to be alarmed and focused. I have to leave for a while. Do not tell anybody. I will return with the queen. I am counting on you to hold this confidentially."
Dimitrius eyes were wide in alarm but nodded.
Smiling as a thank you, I walked back into my room, closing the door. Concentrating hard for a few seconds, a projection of myself went behind my desk and started signing papers like I would have done. Then I left just as Serenity left a while ago.

That was short. Haha, well I wasn't planning on writing that chapter but I realized it was important. If you want longer chapters, review and tell me and I will try to make them longer. After rereading last chapter, I realized it wasn't very good sentence structure. Sorry about that! Another thing, I was rereading the first chapter in my footnotes and I messed up somewhere. I said every other chapter would be the Silver Millenium and then the next would be present-day Tokyo, I meant every other chapter would be Crystal Tokyo then present-day Tokyo. And one more thing. I decided to actually tell you whose point of view is talking if you couldn't tell before. Sorry for confusing you like that. I promise to get better and Chapter 4 will be longer and more interesting All Sailor Moon characters are credited to Naoko Takeuchi. Except Dimitrius. He's mine. All mine. MWHAHAHAHA *evil laugh* Okay don't mind me, I need a break. I want to thank once again angelwarriar for reviewing me. You are the best! Much
