CH 6
Mina sat beside Serena's bed gently wiping her feverish brow with a damp cloth. " Why didn't you call one of use to help, you meatball head?" Mina asked, hoping that she would get some response, but her question was only answered with silence. Mina looked at Serena's gentle face, the golden bangs of her hair stuck to her reddish forehead. As Mina tended her injured queen, she suddenly began to sense a change in the room around her. As she looked around she finally noticed a section of the wall, which was starting to shimmer. Mina quickly called everyone up to Serena's room to be ready for what was coming. After a moment it became obvious that there was no danger, rather it was a time portal that was forming and everyone expected to see Sailor Pluto any minuet.
Pluto finally entered the room and everyone waited patiently for Pluto to speak. She walked over and placed her hand on Serena's forehead and closed her eyes in concentration. After a moment she opened her eyes and spoke, "it is as I feared Serena was attacked in her dreams while she lay here unconscious, now the future is in dire jeopardy." Darien was a little confused, "Setsuna, you said that she WAS attacked in her dreams, why are you speaking of this in the past tense, what is happening to her?" Pluto just looked longingly at everyone in the room, as if trying to burn the image of their faces into her mind. "I cannot tell you everything that has happened, but I will tell you this much; I have come from your future, as it now stands you will all be dead within several days." Everyone looked around at each other, looks of disbelief and shock on their faces.
"There is only one hope left to save our world, I must travel into the past and stop Serena from altering the future, it is the only way to put things back the way they were meant to be." "Sailor Saturn, you will accompany me on this mission, I will need your power to prevent the coming evil." Hotaru closed her eyes and instantly transformed into Sailor Saturn and join Pluto before the time portal. "The rest of you must remain here, you must restrain Serena and prevent her from leaving this room, if she leaves, the world that you know will be destroyed!" With that final warning, Sailor Pluto and Saturn entered the time portal on the most desperate mission of their lives.
Pluto and Saturn Crossed the rivers of time, slowly working their way back to the point at which the timeline had been altered. After a seemingly endless journey, the two finally emerged at their destination. Sailor Saturn was momentarily stunned at the sight before her; in the distance she could see the Palace of the Moon, from the Silver Millennium. "Setsuna, is this really what I think it is?" Pluto looked down at Sailor Saturn, "yes, we are back in the Silver Millennium, over a thousand years ago." "This is where Serena altered the past, and in doing so, laid waste to the world you know."
Sailor Pluto and Saturn took off running for the Palace, they had to stop Serena before she had a chance to destroy the world. Upon arrival at the palace, they found themselves a position where they could watch for Serena's approach. As they crouched in the dark corners of the palace, they watched a procession of guards escort a lone prisoner into the main council room, followed shortly by Queen Serenity. Pluto knew the prisoner instantly; she was the evil queen Nehelania, who had been sealed away by Queen Serenity for her vile crimes. Sailor Pluto told Sailor Saturn to get ready; she knew Serena would show up any minuet now.
As Super Sailor Moon came running into the palace, Sailor Pluto and Saturn sprung into action. They quickly sprinted after Super Sailor Moon and entered the council chamber, hot on her heels. Sailor Saturn shouted; "Silence Wall!" and swung her glaive towards Queen Serenity, placing a strong protective shield around her body. At the same time, Sailor Pluto lowered her staff and cried out, "Dead Scream!" sending a powerful blast at Super Sailor Moon. Super Sailor Moon was unaware of the other attackers; she was under the complete control of Nehelania, who sought to destroy Queen Serenity, she raised her hands and sent dark energy blasting out at Queen Serenity.
Nehelania watched the show before her in great interest, if this young lady was successful, she may yet escape from her impending doom. As the dark power struck out at Queen Serenity, it was suddenly deflected by some barrier that had just sprung up before her. As Serena focused all her power and rage at Queen Serenity, she did not even notice the powerful blast that struck her from the side, knocking her into a wall and into darkness.
Very quickly, the dust settled and everyone present looked around in confusion about what had just happened. Queen Serenity was looking at the body of an unknown Sailor Senshi, who was now slumped against the far wall of the chamber. Sailor Pluto stepped up before the Queen, followed closely by Sailor Saturn. "Your majesty, I trust that you are unharmed." Queen Serenity looked over to her, "Sailor Pluto? Is that really you?" "Yes my Queen, please excuse our intrusion, but our mission was of critical importance to the future." Pluto then walked over to Super Sailor Moon, and with Sailor Saturn's help, they helped Sailor Moon stand and held her up to see the Queen. "Your Majesty; please lend us your healing powers to purify your daughter and restore her to the kind hearted princess we love." "My daughter? My daughter is only 8 years old and is playing back in our residence." "I know this is very confusing, but this is also your daughter, we have come from the future to prevent your death and the destruction of our world. Princess Serenity was under the control of an evil power that sought to destroy you." As Queen Serenity looked closely at this girl, she finally began to recognize the features of her beloved little girl; the only difference was the black moon crescent upon her brow. "Yes, I believe what you are saying and if this is truly my daughter, then as a loving mother I must do what I can to purify her mind." With that, Queen Serenity raised the silver imperium crystal into the air, "Moon healing Escalation!" With these words of power, the Silver Crystal began to radiate a healing light into Princess Serenity, healing her body and cleansing her mind of the negative energy that had taken control. As Pluto watched, the black moon crescent faded away, and finally the golden moon crescent returned, signaling that all the evil power had been removed from her mind. As they stood before the Queen, Serena started to wake up, "Pluto; Saturn..what's going on?" "Don't worry Princess, as soon as we get you home, we will tell you everything that has happened." Serena looked around as she was carefully walked to the chamber doors, she was not quit sure where she was but she thought she had saw Queen Serenity, but dismissed it as just a side effect of the poison.
Darien and the other Senshi were just recovering from the blast that Sailor Moon had attacked them with. As they tried to figure out what had happened, a door to the time portal opened and Sailor Pluto entered the room, helping Serena to limp back into her room. Everyone looked in wonder at this unexpected sight, Pluto helped Serena into bed and then she smiled at everyone and crossed back through the time portal and left them to celebrate the return of their Queen. As everyone looked closely at Serena, they all saw the Golden Moon Crescent on her forehead and they all felt satisfied that Neo-Queen Serenity had truly returned!
