Disclaimer- I own Sailor Moon just as much as I own the country China. (Which is none of it)

Lava- I read some really good romance fan fictions this week and it made me think that mine was rubbish, so thanks to the people who reviewed and told me that I started off okay! I'm sorry to all those romance lovers, but this one's A LOT more gruesome than my last.

~~ Flashback

+ + Dream

Serena and Darien walked through the park together. The weather was sunny and everyone was cheerful and happy. Because it was summer, all the flowers were out so it made the atmosphere warm and caring and the sun was shinning down with its blissful, rays of light.

"Serena. I love you. I'll love you more with every day, every year that we spend together." He kissed her passionately. Serena laid her head and his shoulder and they walked on.



Beryl sat on her throne once again and was gazing into her crystal ball again.

"Frayine, I'm counting on you to put our plan into motion." Beryl said, not taking her eyes off the glowing orb, "And if you don't succeed, you will be punished." An indistinct figure nodded and beamed away. Another figure stepped forwards.

"Queen Beryl, I will ask you again not to do this. Why must we try to destroy the Sailor scouts again? What makes you think that this will work?"

"Are you questioning my orders?" She bellowed. The figure stepped back slightly.

"I am sorry my Queen. I did not mean any disrespect."

"Good because you know all too well what happens to people who disrespect me and my orders." She narrowed her eyes. A sudden flash of light illuminates the figure revealing a man with long green hair and lots of cuts and bruises all across his face.

"Yes my Queen." He steps back into the crowd of darkness.

"Good, now we shall wait for Freyine to put the plan into motion." She let off a high pitched cackle.

Darien was asleep in his apartment. He was having an odd dream.

+ He was in his tuxedo mask form. It was very foggy. You could just make out a figure in the background, it was Princess Serena.

"Find the silver imperial crystal." She said. Suddenly the silver imperial crystal appeared in his hand. He ran, with his hand outstretched towards her. She was getting clearer and clearer. Finally he reached her. She smiled and when she did her eyes twinkled.

He leant forward to kiss her, when suddenly she let out a screech of pain and Serena raised from the floor, a few metres up in the air and there was a white piercing light. Darien blocked the light with his hands.

The light suddenly disappeared and when it did Serena dropped to the floor. Darien ran up to her and turned her over onto her back. He gasped and stepped back. Serena looked no-longer like her beautiful, princess-like self, but a hideous monster. Her hair was white and scraggly, covered in dirt. Part of her decaying head was bold where her hair seemed to have been pulled out. Her skin was green and rotten and her dress was no longer white anymore, it was black and had lots of holes. There wasn't an inch of her skin that wasn't covered in blood, bruises or dirt.

Darien stared at the creature- it still had part of the meatball hair, it was Serena. So was she. dead? He cautiously approached her. He lifted up her frail wrist to check her pulse. Suddenly her bony hand grasped his wrist and twisted it back. Darien gasped as her eyes opened, revealing two deep red eye sockets.

"Darien." She crocked weakly, "Help. me." Suddenly a cruel smile appeared on her face. She let go of his wrist and stood up. She was hunched over, her arms dangling in front of her.

"Serena?" Darien had tears in his eyes, "What. what happened to you?"

"Don't you know?" She said smirking, "You should know. You did this to me."

"How? Why? Serena."

"You just suddenly turned on me, one night." The empty sockets stared at him, "How could you Darien, I thought you loved me." A small trickle of blood emerged from the sockets. The grin came back onto her face.

"What?" Darien's breathing got faster.

"I'm a monster Darien, and it's entirely your fault!" Suddenly the sailor scouts materialize from nowhere.

"Tuxedo mask? Where's Sailor Moon?" Sailor Mars asks. The monster sniggered slowly. It raised one its arms. It changed into a blade.

"Sailor Mars! Watch out!" Darien shouted. Sailor Mars turned around, just in time to see the shining blade that had been thrust into her stomach. She dropped to her knees.

"Sailor Mars!" All the scouts ran to her side.

"I'll be. oookkkkaaayyy." She fell to her front dead, her hands still over the wound on her stomach.

"SAILOR MARS!!! That's it!" Sailor Venus stood up, "Venus crescent beam, SMASH!" The beam of light zoomed towards the creature. It got absorbed into its body. "If only Sailor Moon was here, she could help us defeat it!"

"That is Sailor Moon!" Darien shouted.

"But? How? Who?" Sailor Mercury questioned. Darien looked down.

"I don't know, but I know we've got to beat it!" Sailor Jupitar bellowed, standing up, leaving Rei's body behind. The creature moved forward, its head limply flopping in the movement. Suddenly it ran forward, its hand still a blade.

"Sailor Mercury!" But it was too late. Sailor Mercury staying in the same position for a few seconds, the bemused look upon her face, until she split into countless pieces.

"No! Mercury!" Sailor Jupitar glared at the creature menacingly, "You'll pay for what you've done to my ...." The beast made another quick movement and Jupitar's head, slid easily off her neck. Venus let out a sob. She ran over to Darien.

"What can we do? Please! This monster's defeating us all. I'd like to get my hand on whoever did this to Serena, wouldn't you?" Darien stared at his feet, "I know this is hurting you most..." She hugged him. A loud clicking sound occurred. He look around, there was nothing different, then he looked at Sailor Venus. Her arms and legs had become dislocated from her body and blood was spurting from them. Her usually warm eyes were lolling in their sockets.

"Take care of this.." Suddenly there was another snapping sound and blood spurted from her neck. +

Darien rolled over in his sleep. Suddenly he woke up. What had just happened? Was it real? It couldn't have been. but it seemed so true. He pulled the covers back on himself and went back to sleep.

+Darien was standing in the same foggy world. The floor was drenched in blood. He walked around a bit, but still the floor was covered in blood. He saw a figure through the mist and he ran towards it.

It came into vision, it was the monster Serena. It was laughing. Now he could see where the blood was coming from. There was heaps of dead bodies, everywhere.

Suddenly it turned around, the same disgusting smile on her face.

"Why?!?" He shouted staring at the bodies, "Why did you do this?"

"I'm a monster remember! You turned me into one!" Darien raised his sword and ran towards the creature. It changed it's arm into a blade once more and ran towards him. They reached past each other and both froze. More cuts appeared on the creature's body. The blinding light appeared once more. Darien covered his eyes.

The light died down leaving another body on the floor. It was Serena, Princess Serena.

"Serena!" He sprinted towards her. There was still lots of cut marks on her.

"Darien.." Her head sagged down. She was dead. Darien sat there, trying to hold back tears. Suddenly lots of indistinct voices sounded from the sky.

"All these deaths..."

"Your fault.."

"All your fault.."

"Killing.."

"Everyone is gone.."

"Your fault." Darien put his hands over his ears.

"NOOO!!" He screamed. +
