Justice for the Moon, Chapter Sixteen
As I crouched silently in a tree, literally above Darien as he taught his group to skate, I spotted Molly standing by Sammy, linked arm in arm with him. I smiled, they were looking after each other. Amy and Mina were next to each other with Raye hanging of Matthew's arm. I think he noticed my staring as he smirked through Darien's explanation.
* I think I'm going to scream!!! * Nathan said through the link that we had opened up.
* Why, what's the deal? * Malcolm said.
* Some jerk is talking about how he is going to get into Lita's pants! * Nate replied in obvious anger.
* Get used to it! Everyone seems to be doing it to Darien. * I remarked.
* Zach! Heads up! DL youma approaching your end! * Justin warned.
Zachary must have been taking care of it and I turned my attentions away from the conversation and turned to Darien. He was trying to hold Sammy and Molly up at the same time while they struggled to stand up on the ice. It didn't help that Ken and Ilene Tsukino were on the shore by them getting some refreshments ready and were openly laughing at Darien. They could hear all the conversation as I could and stopped laughing abruptly at Sammy's question. Everyone except for Amy, Mina and Raye seemed to want to know the answer, especially Sammy and Matthew.
"Did you ever love my sister?"
Prince Charming seemed at a lose as he just stared at my brother before quietly saying, "Of course I did." He seemed to want to leave it at that, but Sammy had other ideas.
"But why did you side with Amy, Raye, Mina and Lita other that issue?" I wasn't sure whether to cringe or laugh out loud. My so-called parents didn't know about that, and it happened in a line of events so there was no way he could have known without speaking to me.
"How do you know that?" Amy asked quietly, thinking along the same lines as me. Both Darien and Sammy were spared answering the questions however, as a commotion had appeared on the other side of the ice.
Zachary or Lord Zoicyte as he was dressed, had been thrown backwards onto the ice. He landed right next to Lita and he stared at her, unable to move. I had forgotten about the youma that he had been dealing with. The other lords seemed to read my mind. He was unable to defend himself against an attack from the youma that approached him and also any attack that Lita might throw at him.
Lita was at a loss as she stared over in the direction of the other scouts who shrugged. Matthew I noticed, was smirking, a group of youmas appeared nearby Zoicyte. He was trying to draw us out, trying to find out where we were hiding.
Nephlyte appeared from thin air as he reached out from his fallen comrade while attacks from Jedyte and Malachite protected them. A crowd of youmas appeared to come towards Darien and the scouts. I swung the staff and jumped from the tree.
Skating boots appeared on my feet and my whole attire changed. I had no idea what was happening, but my hair was still in its current style, while my clothes and cloak were replaced by a pure white skating dress AN: one of those really short outfits they were in competitions and a shorter cape.
Oh no! I remember now, whenever I touched the ice I would normally transform into this. I heard gasps from all around the ice as I was recognized. I saw Luna and Artemis' mouths drop open. I stared at Darien before hearing a blood-curdling scream that brought me back to reality.
Jedyte was down. He was spinning across the ice towards me. I allowed my magic to slow him down and I jumped over him swinging the staff at the offending youma, who disintegrated.
I saw the other lords finding it hard to control the youmas.
"In the name of the Moon, all the heiress to the throne, I command the power to me." I chanted softly but each time my voice grew and I was transformed to Princess Serenity. Pink light glowed all around me and spread across the lake, destroying all DL youmas. Matthew was slightly hurt, but it wasn't enough to seriously hurt him without the power of the crystal behind it.
I looked over to Nephlyte where he and Malachite was holding up a severely battered Zoicyte.
* Get him out of here, I'll deal with the others and bring Justin with me. * I said to the others who teleported with the exception of Jedyte.
I walked over to Justin and saw he was badly hurt. "Thanks for the rescue," he said.
"Any time." I helped him to his feet.
We were practically on top of where the whole group had congregated. I had strange looks from everyone. Sammy was in awe, my parents were staring at me with angry expressions, I too was remembering the time that Zach and I had threatened them so we could re-claim the crystal back. Darien was staring back with a familiar expression while Raye and the others were livid.
"Serena! How can you even think of helping that Nega-thrash!" She was referring to Justin who had powered down because of the pain.
I rolled my eyes and turned to Matthew.
~ Well, Serenity, I congratulate you. You managed to defeat a small number of my army without using the crystal. ~ He stared straight into my eyes and we held a private conversation in our heads.
~ Well it's not like it was too difficult. ~ I stared straight back at him.
"Serena get your eyes of my man!" Raye screeched, sending all the birds out of their trees.
"Now, now Raye, stop scaring the birds. And for your information he is not your man and never will be your man." She seemed to try to come towards me, but Darien put his hand on her shoulder.
I started to turn away towards the hut that we had built when a voice called after me, "Well Serenity, you know that all you have to do is say the words and I'll be ours!" Matthew called.
Justin and I looked at each other, then nodded.
He supported himself while I skated quickly back to Matthew. I neared him and jumped into the air, throwing my legs out to kick him, however he caught them. I struggled to get one leg free and managed to throw him a distance away from everyone.
"I knew you had it bad for me, don't worry about it!" He jumped to his feet and invited me to attack him again.
"I'm so glad you figured it out." I said sarcastically. I went into a spin in the air and he spun around to face me as I passed him. As I landed my leg hit the back of his and he fell to the ice. I smiled with the feeling of moon power in my hands. The staff threw him back towards the stunned group and Justin and I disappeared into the woods.
