Rei sat at the end of Serena's bed slowly chanting incantations of protection, ever since the black crescent had formed on Serena's forehead, Rei could sense a strong evil power growing inside her future queen. Her years of training as a spiritual exorcist at the family shrine came in very handy now. Rei had plastered the room with charms to dispel the evil and to help purify its victim. As Rei was concentrating on her chants, the rest of the team entered the room to have a look at Serena and see how she was doing. Darien noticed that her breathing had increased more than usual so he sat on the edge of the bed to take a closer look at her. He leaned over and moved in close to her face, he noted that her cheeks had more color than usual and her eyes were moving a little under her eyelids. "Sure looks to me like she might be coming around!" Darien would be so happy to have Serena back, he would not admit it openly but he really relied on her strength of heart to keep his own faith in their mission. As his hand brushed gently down one of her cheeks, Serena let out a soft moan, then ever so slowly her eyes finally opened once again! Seeing her eye's opened at last, everyone in t he room started to cheer and hug one another in celebration of Serena's return. Rei was smiling like crazy, but she was still uneasy, she could sense major negative energies still in the air and she was not ready to let down her guard just yet!
Serena's mind was completely muddled, she didn't know where she was or what was happening around her, all she knew was that she was not alone anymore. As her eyes opened, the first thing she saw was Darien's face hovering above her with a great smile beaming down at her. "Endymion-Sama? Is that really you my love?" Serena sounded confused but that was no surprise after 2 weeks in a coma. "Welcome back, Serena my love!" "No.it can't be you, you were killed by Queen Metalia!" Now Darien was seriously confused, Serena must have been dreaming about the silver millennium and thought she was still there. "It's alright now Serena, we're all together now, even your loving friends are with us." As her eyes looked around the room, even though the light was so intense, much more than it was on the moon, she could clearly see the faces of her Royal court. What she saw in their faces sent a cold chill running down her spine, all she could see were faces full of hatred and rage. "What do you want with me, after all these centuries why do you return to torment me now?" Everyone could now see that Serena was truly terrified, her eyes darted this way and that, like a trapped animal looking for a way to escape. No one quit knew what to say to her, they had expected her to be her happy self, not this terrified little girl who just wanted to run away. Her eyes suddenly locked on the sight of her transformation broach setting on the table next to her bed. Before anyone knew what was going on, Serena jumped out of her bed, grabbing the broach and running to an empty corner of the room. She held the broach high, taking a second to recall the words she had not spoken for almost 500 years. "Crisis Make-Up", as she spoke the words she was enveloped in a flash of light and transformed once again into Super Sailor Moon. The power flowing through her body was incredible; she had forgotten the glorious feel of the energy when it was released. Without hesitation Super Sailor Moon put her hands out in front of her and bolts of Dark power blasted into the room, hitting everyone and knocking them off their feet. Super Sailor Moon took off running, she sped past her mother without even a glance and blasted her way through the front door, finally free she took off for the safety of the crowded city.
Serena had no idea where she was going, this place was strange and alien to her eyes, all she knew was that she had to escape and that she was being drawn somewhere, someplace that promised her safe shelter. After a few hours of roaming the city, and nearly getting killed by oncoming traffic, she found herself in an isolated grotto in one of the city parks, she curled herself up in it's dark protective embrace and drifted off to sleep.
Everyone in the room was dazed and hurt, Serena's unexpected attack had caught them unprotected and they had all suffered one injury or another. They looked at each other in utter confusion, what was wrong with Serena and why had she attacked them as if they were her enemies? As they all limped their way downstairs, they saw what was left of the front door, wood shards were scattered on the sidewalk out front from the force of the explosion. Everyone decided that the first thing they had to do was to get Dr. Mizuno as quick as possible to help with the injured, then they would think about what to do next.
It was nearly midnight when Serena awoke in the shelter of her little grotto; the moon was out and casting a silvery shin on everything around her. This made her feel much more at home, the silvery light was more like the bright days on the moon that she had know for so very long. Now she was compelled to move on, still searching for someplace that was calling out to her. She roamed the darkened city in search of something familiar; finally she was drawn to the edge of a lake, the moonlight dancing upon its surface, inviting Serena to enter its realm. Serena paused for a moment and collected her thoughts, then she raised the silver crystal to the sky and called for the door to the time vortex to appear. In a moment, a form solidified on the edge of the lake, the door opened and Serena passed through the opening and into the time vortex, forgetting all her problems and focusing on her mission, the mission for her Queen! As the door to the time vortex vanished from the edge of the lake, an energy ripple washed out from that spot, and everything that was, vanished without a trace, history had been forgotten!
