He laughed a viscous laugh. "Do you hear me girlie? Without the silver
crystal, you are NOTHING!"

Suddenly, something snapped inside Serena, but not a bad snap, it was a snap of realisation. She was having an epiphany more then anything else. Inside of her, she felt something burning bright, a new flame of hope flickered inside of her.
"Just shut up!" She shouted at him, she had grown sick of his babbles. "Now you listen to me. I am not weak!" She said, the flicker inside of her giving her a new spark of confidence. "You have tried everything to hurt me and my friends. But look at us. We are all standing strong." She looked over at her friends. No longer were they piles of bodies lying beaten on the floor. They had all gotten up onto their feet and were striking their battle poses, showing him that they too were not weak. They had all become proud warriors and now they looked indestructible. The shadows the were clawing at Serena's skin let go and quickly backed off, as if they could feel the power inside of her. "You have made too many mistakes." She told him. "You have spent too much time talking about how you are going to doom the world, and if you stopped talking about it for 2 seconds, and actually did it, then I wouldn't be here to stop you."
"So you have gotten a little bit of fire in you." He mocked back. "Big deal. I know just the thing to put out that little flame of confidence." He closed his eyes. Once again the darkness swirled around him as he levitated up off the ground. He moved his hands apart, gathering up as much dark energy as he could. A faint rumble could be heard in the distance, it came from somewhere outside, out in the darkness. Suddenly, Serena saw what he had commanded.
Rushing towards the ancient castle was a flood, a flood of biblical proportions. A flood that even Noah and his ark, would have had trouble sailing in. Never could anyone have imagined this much water, and all of it was heading straight towards Serena. The whites of her eyes flared as she stared at the mother of all tidal waves. Then with a crashing roar, the icy water came bursting into the castle and went rushing past Daymon. It parted in two, just before it hit him, so that not even a thread of his clothes got wet. This was no little amount of water either. It was as though he had stolen water from every ocean in the world, gathered it together, possessed it, and had now thrown it towards Serena.
Serena watched as the white tips of the icy waves came closer and closer. With massive roar, the pounding black waves hit Serena head on.
There was silence. Complete, utter, silence.
The Sailor scouts all dropped to their knees, shocked that he could have so much power, and direct so much of it at one poor little girl. They watched as the water kept coming, breaking through the window. They watched as the waves pulverized the wall behind where Serena was standing, rush through the castle and then back out into the dark night.
"Serena!" Tuxedo Mask cried, who was now down on his knees, mourning like the rest of the Sailor Scouts. Diamond tears ran down his cheeks and blew off into the ebony waters. "No!" His heart shattered into tiny pieces.
For years now, he had been locked up and tortured, but he refused to give up hope. Not when his princess was still out there, not when she might discover the truth and save him. "Because of me!" he cried, his ocean blue eyes glistening with water. "She came to save me, and now she is gone. It is my fault."
The icy waves kept coming.
"I knew I should have helped her!" Mars cried but then found another person to place the blame on. "It is all your fault!" She turned and spat at Uranus, but Uranus didn't hear her, she was lost to the world.
"The princess." Tears fell from her usual indifferent eyes. "It was my job to protect her. I swore that I would protect her!" Neptune placed a caring hand on her shoulder.
"We did what we had to." She reassured, but there was no belief behind her words. Truth was, Neptune felt just as guilty as Uranus. There was little support that she could offer her soul mate.
Still the pounding, black waves kept coming.
Time stopped. Tears froze in mid air. Wounds stopped bleeding. Hair paused vertically, sticking out in the once raging wind. The roar of the chilling waves vanished.
A wicked smile came onto Daymon's face. It was an evil, ruthless smile. He stopped levitating and lowered himself back down to the ground, pleased with his handiwork.
Finally, the crushing waves subsided. The surging water was now only a small puddle on the floor. The scouts looked up, their hearts broken, their eyes bloodshot from crying and water still gushing down their cheeks.
Everyone in the room gasped.
Standing in the middle of the room, was Serena. Completely untouched by the treacherous waters.
"It can't be!" Daymon gasped, he rubbed his eerie blue eyes in disbelief. "She can't be alive, not after that!"
Serena stepped forward. The water moved away from her feet, as if she was an opposing magnet.
"How can it be!" Daymon gasped again. "You are nothing without the silver crystal! How can you survive that?"
"No," Serena said as calm as a spring morning. She could feel the power within her now, no longer was she scared or did she feel helpless. She had finally found her true power, the power of herself. Daymon started to step back, afraid of what she was going to do with him. "You listen to me." She barked. "I was never strong because of the silver crystal. The silver crystal was strong because of me." A faint smile fell upon her face, a smile because she had finally found the answers that she had been looking for.
A silvery tear fell down from her face, a tear of happiness. The sparkling dewdrop rolled down her glowing cheeks and dropped off. She reached out her hand and caught the bead of salty water before it hit the ground. As the tear hit her hand, an enormous white light surrounded her.
"What is happening?" Mars asked to no one in particular, her jaw almost resting on the ground from shock.
All of the scouts were captivated, like they were witnessing a birth. Finally, it was Sailor Pluto that broke the silence with an explanation.
"She is ascending to a higher level." Pluto smiled. "She is becoming the guardian of the universe. Her final evolution."
"The guardian of the Universe?" Mercury asked, spellbound by the intense light. "Who is that?"
Pluto smiled and looked into the light, mesmerised by its beauty. She drew in a deep breath and whispered softly. "Neo Queen Serenity."
A.N. don't worry, there is plenty more action and mayhem to come, though, the story is drawing to a close. How will it end? Will she win? Will I decide to let the bad guy win? He he he. I like the latter idea.
