Nubius felt a rush of adrenaline course through him. They were back! They had

disappeared for a time but now they were back. He could feel both of those wretches

Serena and her daughter. He had waited so long for this time, for his revenge. His

memories float back to him. A small angel crying, large blue eyes looking at him, a child

running into his arms begging to be held, to be told a bedtime story. Unknowingly he

smiled. He felt peace, love for this child. No! He shook himself. He had no times like this!

What was he thinking? He hated children with a passion. Especially blond, blue eyed ones.

Beryl, Thank god for Beryl, she had given him a course for his anger, she had shown him

how he had been cheated. Oh yes, He had seen the light so to say. Thanks to his sister.

Well he would revenge her too. Now was the time to put his plan into action. He would

go down and grab that Sailor Moon. No, no that wasn't smart at all. The child! Yes he

would grab the child and lure the mother here, to his domain. That was a much craftier

idea. It was like killing two birds with one stone. He grinned and floated away in a

glimmer of swirling wind. Unknown to him, someone was watching, and that some one

was laughing, at him.
**************************************************************8

They were back in their time in less then a second. It was just getting dark there and

Serena knew that they were safe because for one, her mom thought that her and Reenie

were at Raes' house of r the weekend, and two, no one could see them. They had

materialized right outside of a Yuma attack. The scouts rushed in and took their stances.


"I am Sailor Moon, champion of love and Justice," "And I am Sailor Chibi Moon,

Champion of all that is good in the world,"


"You should never harm innocent children you Nega creep!" Sailor Moon added.

"And in the name of the Moon, We will punish you!" The two Moons finished their

speech and noticed that this had given the scouts the perfect opportunity to make a circle

around the monster.

"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" The water broke over the monster and knocked him to the

ground. It was then that he was facing Sailor Moon and she realized that he was the

monster that her attack had not defeated the last time.

Oh No! What do I do this time? She thought. Or she was thinking until she heard Chibi

Moon call out something different.

"Pink Moon Cleansing Halo!" A shot of pure Pink energy was thrown towards the

monster. I t was in the form of millions of tiny halos. It hit the monster and destroyed it on

the spot.

"Wow, Chibi Moon where did that come from?" Sailor Moon and the others were

amazed at this new attack.

"I don't know Sailor Moon, I guess it came with my Sailor coronation that happened

today. I feel a whole lot of new energy in me now, but wow, did that hurt!" She was now

grabbing her hands and jumping up and down. Sailor Moon grabbed onto her hands and

took a look. There were blisters and her palms were raw. She grimaced, "Well Chibi

Moon, it looks like you really are a sailor scout now. Those are the same kind of burns I

get, but once you receive an object to channel the energy through then it wont hurt near as

much." As she spoke the redness was disappearing. Reenie looked at her hands in awe.

The same kind of burns? So this was what Serena must feel like.


She didn't like it much, no sir. She was going to have to get an object to channel it through

very soon! Sailor Moon and the other scouts began a discussion on how to use Sailor

Chibi Moons powers to their benefit. Sailor Chibi Moon wandered out a little from the

group, she had thought that she had heard something. While the scouts were talking

someone had appeared behind them. The person grabbed Chibi Moon and shot into the

air!

"Sailor Moon!" she cried. This wasn't supposed to happen! She was safe with Serena!

Who was this creep?

"Chibi Moon! Serena turned around from the other scouts that she was talking to. "Chibi

Moon!" Give her back1" She cried as she watched the strange man float away.

"Nnnooooooo!" she yelled, this was all wrong. She was supposed to protect Reenie. Why

hadn't she been watching her? This was all her fault! His face was visible to her now and

the scouts were surrounding her in a protective circle.

"Hahahahahah, now I've got you." The man shouted tightening his hold on Reenie until it

hurt.

"Oww! That hurts you creep!"

Serena heard this and shouted right back at him. "If you hurt her..."

The man cut her off. "I don't think that you should be making idol threats my dear. You

see it's not her that I want, it's you, you Moon Brat!" Serena gasped, she was the Moon

Brat that they wanted! Oh, why hadn't she thought of that!


"That's right Princess, " He drawled out he word almost like Rae did, sarcastically and

cruelly. Mocking her. "Your the one I want. You ruined everything for me. Everything

was ruined so long ago. And then you lived through Beryl's attack and escaped to this

world. How you did that I don't know, neither do I care. I will destroy you. And since you

took the thing that I wanted most then I will take the one thing that you care for the most.

Do you remember what I said so long ago? I told you that I would take the most precious

thing that you had. Back then I meant your mother but alas, the Bitch died and I can no

longer harm her. She's to far removed in that other peaceful world or what ever you call it.

So now I guess that your daughter will have to do. A pity, she did have such good

promise as wicked lady, that didn't last long though did it? If you want her, then you had

best come get her, with the way that you fight if your lucky you'll get to her before she

dies of the pain I plan to inflict. Or maybe I can mail her body back in pieces to you

hmm?" He laughed. Serena was seeing red. How dare he talk like that in front of her

daughter? And the way that he talked was sending fear down her spine.

"You touch one hair on her head and I swear that you will die the most agonizing death

that you can imagine. " She was ready to run after them when he floated away and

disappeared. Serena saw Reenie face Streaked with tears and her large ruby eyes wide in

fright. Her last cry still rang through Serena ears.

"Mooooommmmmmmmmyyyyyy!!!!"

"You filthy bastard, I'LL KILL YOU! BRING MY DAUGHTER BACK! DO you h-hear

me? B-b-brin-ng her back-k!'

Serena was a washed in grief. She fell to the ground sobbing and wailed her pain to the

world.

"SMALLLLL LADDDYYY! Oh God, Small Lady!"

The scouts didn't know what to do. They had never seen her so desolate before. What

could they do? Darien was also crying, his daughter. How had he let this happen? There

was naught that he could do though. Serena was the only one with the power to help

Reenie. He looked at his love crying as if the world was lost to her. Going over he knelt

down and wrapped his arms around her shaking shoulders. She turned her head into him

and sobbed. They sat there almost clinging to each other, surrounded by their friends and

yet alone.

**************************************************************8

Reenie could hear Serena's wail of anguish. She was openly sobbing now in the strange

mans arms.


"Why, W-why do you want Serena?" She asked this turning her head to look at the man.

"Hello brat, my name is Nubius, I am the evil lord of the cold side of the moon. I want

your mother for only one reason. To kill her." He said this with such sincerity that Reenie

felt dread well up inside of her. She wanted to ask another question but he appeared in a

room, a very hot room. It was more like a cave, Reenie thought. And what was that smell?

Sulfur? Yes that was it, Sulfur. Serena had told her that Sulfur was found inside of

volcanoes. This had been on one of those rare times that she had studied for a test. She'd

failed it though, how that had happened Reenie did not know, for Serena had known all of

the answers. She shook herself, that question was irrelevant now. She had to get out of

here. The man set her down and raised his hands. Immediately a forcefeild went up around

her. She felt cold, so cold. Her civilian cloths appeared around her. Her suit was gone, she

had detransformed when the force field had appeared. So the walls were really powerful,

they had to have been to strip her of her powers. She saw the man hold something up, Her

crystal!

"Hey! Give that back!" She charged into the field and screamed. Her body fell to the

ground convulsing with the electricity that had passed into her body.

"Stupid child, the walls are pure dark energy, the will destroy you slowly. Running into

them just speeds up the process." Reenie knew he was telling the truth she could feel the

energy leaving her body slowly, bit by bit. "This will keep you from trying to escape. And

it will make it so much easier to get that Princess here. Reenie felt rage; she stood up and

charged the wall again. This time spikes grew out of it. She dodged trying to miss them

but she wasn't fast enough. She cried out as ripped into the tender skin of her cheek, and

another sliced into her right shoulder.


"I told you not to do that. Now be still, I cant have you dying before she gets here that

would ruin the point. Now how does this work? It's a crystal of some sort. Not he

imperium crystal, I remember what that looks like well enough." He toyed with it tossing

it into the air and feeling it for something.

Probably an on button.

Reenie thought with disgust. He was in fact looking for just that and he found it. But it


came with results that he didn't want.

"AAAUGHHH!" he yelled dropping the fragile object.

"Oh Nooo!" Reenie charged the wall in hopes to break through and save what had been

entrusted to her. She had to save it! She was the one who begged her mom to give her

that in hopes of becoming a Sailor Scout. But she didn't have to save it. It disappeared

before it hit the ground. However it was too late for her to stop her charge and she ran

into the spikes, cutting her arms and her sides. She flew backwards from the electric shock

that came with it this time. A scream of pain shot form her small mouth as she laded

abnormally on her leg. It was too much, she blacked out from the burning hurt.

***************************************************************8

Serena and the group had not moved from the spot where they last saw Chibi Moon.

"Sailor Moon we have to go back to the chapel, we can think of a plan there." Rae tried

to get Serena to move, to make any gesture. Nothing.

"Yes, I think that Sailor Mars is right, we should go." Amy said this gently as if afraid to

startle her dear friend.

"No."

Her voice was so soft that they almost didn't hear her. "If you wish to go back then you

may. I however am staying right here. I can think of a plan just fine right here." The girls

remained silent. They wouldn't go with out Sailor Moon and they all knew that. So they

stayed.

"Sailor Moon, didn't Serenity say something about Telecommunication? I didn't mean to

eavesdrop but I was right out side the door." Darien said this so that everyone could hear

him. Serena looked up a glimmer of hope in her eyes.


"Yes! Yes she did. Reenie and I can red each other's minds just like you and I can. I don't

know if she's open enough right now. I hope she is." Serena closed her eyes and

concentrated. Nothing. She tried harder. Closing out other sound and blocking all feeling,

except for that from her heart. There! There it was, a pink light. Only Reenie had that

light. She drew closer, and closer until she was...in! She was in Reenies mind. And then

she was thrust out.


What? What just happened? She must think I'm some one else, some one bad.

Serena thought of peaceful things and times that her and Reenie had shared.


Reenie? Reenie it's me Serena. Let me in sweetie, it's all right.

She felt a sense of relief as she was allowed slowly back in.

That's a good girl. Now let me see where you are honey.

Serena got a picture of a volcano. A volcano? There was only one volcano near by that

must be where they are. Then she felt Reenie lose control of her thought and Serena felt a

whoosh of wind as her daughters mind was laid before her. She saw a room, and a purple

black wall surrounding her. Then pain!

"Aughhh!" she cried trying to grab her arms and sides at the same time. Reenie! She was

hurt, that man had hurt her.

Amy jumped at the sound of Serena s voice. Sailor Moon was holding both her sides and

her arms if that was possible. She was standing up a look of pain and anger on her usually

serene features. Her cheek started to bleed. As did her arms and stomach. What was going

on? She rushed over to her friend along with the rest of the girls. Darien just stood in must

surprise, staring at his future wife. When they tried to wake her he stopped them with a

harsh

"No!"

They stepped back in surprise.

"But Darien she bleeding we have to help her." Mina looked torn.

"No, she has to find Reenie, let her be, she'll come out of it when its time." He hoped this

was true. He wanted more than any of them to wake her up and stop the pain, but this had

to be done. He quickly changed his mind when he saw Serena's' leg turn unnaturally

underneath her. She went down like a stone. Bleeding and bruised, and ...awake.
