HEY! I think I might have finally broken the writer's block!
So here's the next chapter: Serena meets the scouts again. Uh-oh!
Disclaimer: Funnily enough, I don't own any rights to Sailor Moon.
Chapter Twenty-One
I paused outside the room of the Scouts. Thoughts ran through my mind, did I do the right thing in telling Sammy? He'll find out soon, like everyone will that Serena, Princess Serenity, Sailor Moon and the Moonlight Wanderer are all the same people. But I suppose we all have things that we wish we didn't know or that we don't understand; I guess this has to be his, while this is mine.
I pushed the balcony door open and heard a collective gasp by the four girls in the room. Quickly they rose from their seats grasping their transformation wands.
"Keep your seats, there's no need to get up just because I'm around," I smirked at them knowing that wasn't why they were standing. To them, I was an enemy just because I'd attacked them for their own good. Honestly, they would have felt bad about attacking a human-youma that was about to return to his normal form.
Raye opened her mouth to say something, I raised one hand, "Whatever it is, I do not want to hear it Raye of Mars."
"Well I won't waste my breath on you, I going to go see Matt," she huffed.
"No, you will be seated and listen to me, the messenger of Serenity, the protector of the Universe." I said coldly. "As the princess' of the Inner Planets your direct duty is to the princess of your generation. Hurting her emotionally like you do was a direct violation of that duty."
"Whatever, she had it coming to her. It's not like we enjoy risking ours lives for her, she doesn't even try to fight, she just whines constantly." Raye interrupted me.
"Are you quite finished?" I spoke softly, coldness echoing from my voice.
"No, actually I'm not. She then had to go and trip like the clumsy idiot that she is and smash the Imperium Silver Crystal so it was destroyed. She's such an idiot and I don't see why we have to protect her, we're princesses too so why should we have to do this?"
In the second that she had stopped speaking, my staff blade was under her chin, resting on her neck. "Whether you like it or not you were born to protect her, get over it. And I never want to hear you making assumptions that are not true again. You have added one and three together and ended up with nine million! Now shut up and listen!"
The four girls visibly paled and I smiled to myself. "I came here for a reason, not to discuss the ethics of the Moon." Breathing in I said, "Matthew Turner is an enemy of the Moon and all its Kingdoms. Now that you have been informed, you cannot go anywhere near him."
"Excuse me! But who are you to tell me what to do?" Raye said indignantly. Turning to her friends she said, "I'll see you guys later." She grabbed her coat and walked to the door.
"As I said, I am the messenger of Serenity and the protector of the Universe-" She interrupted me again.
"Nice titles," Raye said sarcastically.
"The Moonlight Wanderer always follows her duty. I am always there to clean up the messes you make and stop you from doing things that you shouldn't. Even if it means using force to stop you. As an Inner Planetary Scout you have failed to do your duty and I do not have a wish to fight beside you, but I have to and I will." I said as I watched her hand move to the door handle. "If you walk out that door Raye of Mars, and go to that worthless creep, you will be a traitor."
"Serena's the traitor." With that said, she was out the door.
Anger flooded my veins and coursed through my body. I fought to keep my anger in check and to not send an attack through the wall to where she was walking. My fists were clenching and unclenching when I felt a firm hand on my shoulder. Lita.
"She may deserve it, but she is still one of us."
"Not any more," Amy whispered.
"What?" Mina and Lita exclaimed.
"The Moonlight Wanderer is a messenger of Serenity. That means that any messages and orders that come from her are to be directly obeyed. And Raye just did the exact opposite of it." Amy said quietly.
"Meaning?" Lita questioned the blue-haired genius.
"Her power of fire and the Planet Mars is revoked." I said simply. "The planet of Mars has no heir and Raye is left defenceless against Malice."
"Malice? But he doesn't know who we are!" Maid cried.
"Incorrect Mina of Venus. He like many of us form the Silver Millennium Era has his memories. He knows who you are even if you do not know who he is." I said.
"But Raye isn't going to allow him to take her somewhere secluded so he can destroy her." Lita said knowingly.
"Oh really? So where has she gone now?" I countered.
"That's completely different." Mina said.
"How so?"
"She's with Matt," Mina said shortly.
"And how do you know that he can be trusted?" I asked.
"Because he loves her. I am the Princess of Love and so I know these things!" Mina declared.
It was her turn to feel the metal of my blade under her chin. "Don't ever tell me that that slime-ball is capable of love!" I hissed at her, "Malice and his followers are evil. They murder for fun, they killed the King and they plan on overthrowing the Moon Kingdom." I informed them even more of Malice/Matthew Turner.
"Matt is Malice?" Lita said, worry etched all over her face.
"And if he tries to hurt her Zachary and Nathan are on hand to stop him."
"Excuse me! Those Nega-creeps!" Mina said outraged.
"Zach isn't like that! Amy shouted.
"And neither is Nate!" Lita cried. Both covering their mouths as they realised what they had said.
I laughed lightly, "In the past you were lovers. Raye was with Justin and Mina, you were with Malcolm. They were brainwashed by Queen Beryl and made to fight against us, but now that she's gone, they're good and on our side."
"If Justin loved her, then why isn't he helping?" Ay asked.
"Because he Artemis and Malcolm are working on a project that requires their special skills. And Luna's doing something for me with another friend." I said as an afterthought.
"What did you men by making assumptions?" Amy asked.
"Well genius, I meant that Serena didn't trip and fall, breaking the crystal." I replied.
"So how did it happen?" Lita asked.
"You do not need to know that right now. You will find out eventually I think." I sighed. "Tomorrow will be a long day for all of us. You have a choice: fight along side myself and the Royal Guard and the other warriors of the Moon, or give up your powers and become normal."
"Serena would like the second choice," Mina whispered.
"She doesn't have a choice anymore, she's calling the shots on this fight and knows that she can never be normal again. She's been in too deep to back out now." I whispered remembering all the times that I had wished to be normal and not have a care in the world.
"We don't know why we are fighting though." Lita said.
"For now, all you need to know is that Malice delivered the final death blow to the King, a blast that was meant for Serena. You do not need to know the rest, you will have nightmares. If I could block it out, never remember it, I would, but I have to know it and see it all the times while I sleep. Hopefully it will end after this." I said mostly to myself.
I crossed the room and had almost reached the window before a voice called after me.
"What about Darien?" Lita called.
"What about him?" I asked confused.
"What about him?" She repeated. "You have to tell him something! He deserves to know, especially after he found out that he was second best to Serena."
"Once again, you should never make any assumption on what you think you know. The story that Malice told you, although true, was not about Serena, but her mother." They gasped. "Queen Serenity loved Prince Endymion but when he died she was devastated. Eventually she found solace in Prince Apollo they married and Serena was born. Just because she always loved Endymion never meant that she didn't love Apollo, just in a different way."
"Darien is not a concern of mine. Like always the Earth has made up its own mind on which wars they fight. They're people are normally given a free reign on who to follow. Darien's guards fight by their side because they know its right Darien has the same choice, I cannot force him." I continued my path to the window and returned to hidden hut.
Well, I'm finished and it certainly is longer than most other chapters. Hope you liked it, REMEMBER READ, REVIEW!
THANK YOUs:
Snow Stalker ~ Is this a better length chapter? Glad I'm not the only one who can get writers block, I completely agree that writer's block is a pain in the behind!
Ruka_Ten'ou_Girl ~ I was actually thinking about them being together, as you might have guessed!
Master Elora Dannan ~ What can I say? THANKS!
Gothic Doom ~ Thanks for the kudos! I don't personally think that fowl language is necessary either, but in some cases it can be justified. I just don't think the Sailor Scouts would use it so I don't when I'm writing a fic about them.
So here's the next chapter: Serena meets the scouts again. Uh-oh!
