A.N. This chapter has been re-posted. Sorry. The new chapter will be out
soon. I just wanted to fix up some mistakes.

Darkness surrounded them like a blanket, it had become impossible for the scouts to see anything in front of them. The light from Serena's silver crystal grew dimmer and dimmer, as if someone was triggering it to fade out all together. Serena closed her eyes and concentrated intensely, 'silver crystal,' she said to herself, 'please do not fail me, not now. Not after we have come this far.' With her thoughts, the crystal grew brighter, but still only bright enough to illuminate an area that was about a metre wide around Serena.
"Show yourself!" Jupiter demanded, her eyes flickering with silver lightening bolts. "Or are you a coward!" She yelled into the shadows.
"Is that what you think?" The voice said and then laughed a laugh that echoed around the room, before it dived inside the scouts and echoed inside their souls.
Instinctively, the girls huddled up close together, standing back to back in a circle. They all assumed their own battle poses.
"That's not going to do you any good!" The voice echoed, making it impossible for them to tell where he was standing.
"I don't like this," Venus whispered to the other scouts, "Sailor Moon, can't your crystal shine any brighter? We need to see this guy if we want to fight him."
"No," Serena answered. "I want it to, but it is like something is over powering it. This is as bright as it can get."
Out of nowhere, a snide voice came into Serena's head. "Sailor Moon," The voice sung like a five year old. "Sailor Moon, do you really want to be the one responsible for your friends deaths?" Serena looked around, trying to find who was behind the voice. "Come on," The voice taunted, "You should tell your friends to leave, before they get hurt." Serena's eyes started to glisten, "Sailor Moon, you can stop them from dying, just tell them to leave. The door is still open."
"No!" Serena cried out in a husky voice that was on the verge of breaking. "I won't let you hurt them!"
"Do you really think that you can stop me?" The voice in her head taunted. "Tell them to leave and it will be just you and me. It is your decision, Sailor Moon."
Serena desperately searched through the darkness, "Show yourself!" she demanded, not wanting to give in to the voice. "Show yourself now!"
"Last chance!" The voice said sounding very irritated. "I'm giving you this choice, I will let your friends live if they leave right now!"
"Serena, what is wrong?" Venus asked, looking beside her at her trembling friend. "Serena?"
"Go, now. All of you!" Serena cried. "Now!" She said again, pushing her way out of the protective circle.
"No, Serena. What is happening?" Mercury asked. "We want to help you."
"Please, just leave me. You have to go and save yourselves."
"Never!" Jupiter said, as the scouts all walked up to Serena. "Sailor Moon, we can't leave you."
"Yes you can, just walk out that door! You don't have to die, you can all be safe! I don't need protecting, I can fight my own battles!"
Mars walked up to Serena and wiped one of her friend's shiny tears away. "Sailor Moon, we can't leave you. We won't leave you! And it's not because you are our leader, or because you are the Moon princess. We won't leave you because you are our friend, and friends stick together." Raye smiled lovingly. "Scouts stick together!" The others nodded in synchronization.
"Besides," Jupiter added, her eyes still sparking with an excited shine, "We still have to beat this guy, and I want a piece of the action."
"So is that your final answer then?" The voice taunted from somewhere out of the darkness, "Don't say that I didn't warn you, Miss Moon!" Suddenly, the scouts heard an eerie creak, as the giant door slammed shut, caging them inside the darkened room. They were trapped. Realising this, the scouts resumed their fighting poses, ready for what ever might happen. "So the little girls want to play war!" The voice came booming out of the darkness. "Well, if you want to play with fire, your going to get burnt!" All of a sudden, the ground beneath them caught alight. Bright red and orange flames burst up through the ground, and singed their already tattered skirts.
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" Mercury instinctively shouted and doused out the searing flames.
"This is hopeless!" Venus shouted, already ready to give up. All of the scouts were incredibly tired from making it through the darkness outside, and now their spirits had disappeared with the flames. "We can't fight what we can't see!"
"She is right you know," Jupiter said, "I fight him if I can't see him." Suddenly, a blow struck Jupiter on the back of her head. Her lip dripped with blood where she bit it, "Show yourself coward!" She shouted into the darkness, wiping the blood away and looking at it. "That is going to cost you big time!"
"You want me, come and get me Sailor Jupiter!" The voice taunted. "Or is it you who is the coward!"
Enraged lightening bolts flashed through Jupiter's eyes, "You are going to be in serious trouble, Creep!" She spat into the shadows. "Rahhh!" She roared as she charged out of the protective circle and into the darkness.
"Sailor Jupiter!" The scouts all shouted, but it was too late.
A.N. I know I might say this every time, but THANKYOU for all the reviews! You have truly made my year. I shall try to get the next chapter out before the year comes to an end. Have a Happy New one everybody. xxx Destiny xxx
