Chapter 3: Understanding
So there she stood with her white staff that shinned gold. .Sailor Infinity
~~~~~~~~~~~ There stood the scouts, dumbstruck. Not one of them understood, but at the moment they didn't care for their beloved princess was still whole.
~~~~~~~~~~~ " Wow" was all that Serena could say. She felt an enormous amount of energy flowing through her at that precise moment. " So you accepted. Are you still true to your word? Sailor Infinity." Said the strange voice, Serena could sense a hint of amusement that this girl was having. " Yes I am. I am always true to my word. You should know, since you remember me as I can now recall of you Ariane." Now Serena was the one smirking. " How? This is impossible. There is no way you could remember so quickly." Said Ariane. "But can't you see? I hold the Imperial Silver Crystal & now I hold the." Serena began. " AAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE! I WILL TAKE THAT!"
~~~~~~~~~~ So here stood the scouts closer to Serena now since the barrier was down & the walked closer. Raye was the first to walk over. The others had been a bit scared of her since she had obviously just gained an enormous amount of energy. " Should we say something to her?' asked Mina. " Who? The hooded figure Or Sailor Moon?" responded Raye. " Haven't you been paying attention? The name is Sailor Infinity." Said Darien. * That shut them up* thought Darien, he did not want them bickering. He started to walk towards her when he & they others turned toward a earsplitting scream. " AAIIEE!" cried a ugly creature.
~~~~~~~~~ A creature named Issitar, one of the dark demons that called themselves " Soulshadows" for that was their description approached Sailor Infinity. "Give me power or you die!" cried Issitar. " Never evil one" said Ariane, she started forward but was abruptly shoved backwards by Serena. " No, do not concern yourself with him. Go.NOW! I will handle this." Said Serena. " Fine, but do not believe you are a god Sailor Infinity. No one likes it when one thinks too highly of oneself." Replied Ariane before she disappeared. Serena moved forward, never casting a glance at the 5 soldiers who stood nearby. " EVERLASTING HEART SNATCH!" cried Sailor Infinity as she raised her staff to the heavens before performing her deadly move. " You were dead before you even got here." Sailor Infinity said. Issitar's reply was but a mere yell & cry to her goddess to spare her in her failure.
~~~~~~~~~ Sailor Infinity walked over to the remains of Issitar, " May the light guide you to truth & reason." Whispered Sailor Infinity before she began to glow & detransform. She finally noticed her guardians staring wide-eyed at her. Her face dropped, she felt her blood stop flowing & her face paled so much it looked like she died right there. " Serena, please. what happened? Are you ok? I'm. We're sorry, um.er.Serena? Hello. Are you there?" Cried Sailor Mars. But Serena did not see anyone, not one person except a vision. " Raye come here." She said, everyone noticed that her eyes were out of focus. Slowly Raye walked forward, she was shaking very badly now. " Yes?" voice quivered as she spoke. Serena seized her hand & put it on her cheek. Instantly Raye started to scream, a roaring earsplitting scream that could shatter glass, but as suddenly as she started she stopped. There was a moment of silence & then Raye spoke up but in a very distant voice " What was that?" she looked at Serena with a look of pure terror on her face. " That is what will happen if we do not band together & you all," Serena looked at every person there (they were all detransformed by then) " see past my strength & see my heart for it is still the same. I am truly sorry for making you go through that Raye but now you may see farther then you ever could. I give you that gift for only one thing in return. Your friendship & guidance. I must go now, Can I stay at your place Darien. I don't want to go home, afterall it is still very early."
~~~~~~~~~~ Somewhere in a darkened palace, " My Queen, Issitar has failed. I will happily take her place in your name." Said a Voice. Suddenly A woman appeared, She wore a black dress with the Zodiac symbols on it. " Of course you will Christine. I expect you to be our great general after all. Take as many Soulshadows that you need." Said a voice. Christine bowed & then departed.
~~~~~~~~~~ Darien was deadly afraid of Serena, but after some thought he realized it wasn't her he feared, but the fact that she may die to defend him & the scouts. With that kind of power couldn't she kill herself in the process too? But exhaustion overtook him & he climbed into his bed with Serena who had been asleep for 3 hrs already.
~~~~~~~~So what do you think? Who is this new enemy? Where did this " Goddess" come from? Why are those creatures called " Soulshadows"? Oh well find out more in the next chapter: Chapter 4:Retelling of a forgotten story.
