A/N: The war is so totally on! Now we're to the part of the story I like best, but it may be over in just a few more chapters. ::sniff::, but then I'm coming out with an entire new story that I'm sure will shock you all in a delightfully sadistic way. But more on that later, on with Serenity kicking ass! Enjoy!

Title: Moon's Force
Chapter Eleven
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***
If King Darien were to become anymore idiotic than he already was, it was sure he would be a walking shell of hot air. He'd been supplying his army with earthen powers to strengthen them all, and it worked. The army would be more than a match to that of the enemy. Plans were being drawn up as he stood listening to his generals speak, Mina and Rei beside him, both fully powered up and itching to train. He still thought he could win this war.
" This model of the Terra ship will be so fast that enemy fire won't be able to hit it. Plus it's quite big enough to fit more than half the soldiers onto one. Weapons and all." The General looked at his King with anxious eyes, he was very proud of his design.
" Perfect, start building immediately. How long until we have three?" King Darien was very happy at this development. His army was strong, now they just needed the technology, and they had it.
" I'd say six months to a year your highness. With a bigger crew, maybe less."
" Then I permit more people to work on your project General Swartz, whatever you need, it's yours. Good day General." King Darien left the room with his Queens trailing behind, General Swartz bowing until he could no longer see them.

Serenity smiled, watching her loyal soldiers train hard. Her Senshi did double the training the army did, and the eight woman were stronger because of it. Then there was the Duo Stars, that's what Birdie and Prisma called themselves since they were not Senshi and not soldiers. The two women's abilities were almost as strong as the Senshi, which was amazing, since they were not as powerful. Serenity herself had gotten back into her routine before Isibo was born, her powers growing to their maximum and beyond. She knew she was to be feared in battle, but she knew that the betrayers of the Earth would not care, or believe such a thing. Even if it was the truest sentence they were to ever hear… **
Artemis split the air in two, swift strong strokes slicing it elegantly. He moved with grace and precision. His body glistening with sweat from his long work out. Taking a small break, he suddenly felt soft smooth hands kneading the flesh of his broad shoulders.
" Your tense love, no more training today…Or tomorrow. Spend the day with me and your daughter Isibo in the city." Serenity kissed the back of his neck lightly, feeling her husband relax under the touch.
" We can't afford to be unprepared, my Serenity. But I'll take the day off. I remember the feel of the couch the last time you wanted me to take the day off and I said no." Artemis chuckled, bringing his wife into his lap.
" You were quite foolish Artemis. I always go through with what I say. But you worry too much, we are very well prepared for the war. The cities have the newest of protection shields to keep them concealed from the battles." Serenity laid her silver golden head on his chest, arms wrapping around his torso.
" I can feel the worry in your body, Art. You radiate fear and nervousness, it feels so dark. It makes you cold love." Serenity felt him remain quiet while she talked.
" Artemis, why should you be worried? You're the top male warrior on this moon. Are you thinking that you may be slain in the battles? Afraid to leave me and Isibo without you? Like my own father."
Artemis hugged her close, she was always so good at reading into someone that it shook you to the core of your being.
" You know me Sere, I will always fear leaving Isibo and you. Especially now, but I won't worry so much anymore, alright?" Artemis smiled warmly down into her eyes of crystal blue.
" Good, that is all I ask." Serenity stood up off his lap and pulled him with her. Her long gown of blue silk flowing like rain.

" They make me so impossibly furious! How does he think he can win, when they settle on our land? There will be no where for them to run, lunarians will surround them all!" Serenity fumed whilst sitting in her throne six months later.
She only wished to have an enemy that was intelligent. But her heart told her not to underestimate the Earth and it's rulers.
" There will be but one battle, won't there Queen Serenity?" Uranus frowned.
" I'm afraid so, how can there be anymore than one? Sammy?" Serenity looked to her brother, who smiled sheepishly at her.
" You want me to stay at the Palace and protect it and Isibo, don't you?" The sandy haired prince smiled, he come quite far in his training.
" Yes, I'm sorry, but I can't risk you in the battle field. Your training has been so successful, I don't want you overwhelmed Sammy. Are you angry?"
" No, not really. I wish to fight along side you all, but Isibo needs her uncle." He bounced the little girl in his lap to make her giggle, and she did, a happy smile splitting from ear to ear.
" Yes, she needs her uncle now more than ever…" Serenity frowned, what would happen if she didn't come back from the war? It was too chilling to think about after a second and Serenity shook her head to clear the thoughts away…
