Konbanwa, minna. I wrote this some time ago, so do not be dismayed if it is no good. Star Knight is, as
promised, back in this chapter. Responses to reviewers are at the bottom.
Enjoy.
**************************************************************************************** ~Chapter 23 - Star Knight Comes Flashing In~
Serenity paused before the looming castle, catching her breath for a brief moment. She sighed, wondering hesitantly if perhaps she should put her illusion back in place before she entered, but decided that instead she would wait until she reached the outskirts of the Great Hall. Everyone should be there eating, therefore no one would see her if she remained herself a little longer.
Her high-heeled silver slippers, probably not the best thing to have been walking in the Forbidden Forest in, clicked lightly on the cracked stone beneath her as she made her way easily to the Great Hall. So unusually occupied with her thoughts she was that she failed to notice the growing amount of Evil that could be felt until it was too late.
The youma leapt on her, kicking and punching in a grand effort to subdue her. Serenity screamed but managed to render unconscious five youma before her arms were pinned painfully behind her back. One of the youma, obviously the leader, smirked triumphantly at her. The urge to use her magic was great, but Serenity held back in doing so to see where this was going.
They dragged her to the Great Hall, where one of them kicked the door open. When she was pulled inside, Serenity couldn't believe her eyes. Dozens of Hogwarts students were either captured or made unconscious by youma. The Sailor Senshi/ Sailor Knights were being held by the remaining Dark Moon Generals or were unconscious, too weak or too wounded to do anything. Serenity couldn't see any of the teachers anywhere.
"Minakara! Aurora!" Serenity screamed in fright when she saw the senshi of Venus and the senshi of the Sun tied together with what looked like a strand of dark magic. It was also zapping their strength, judging from the helpless look on Venus' face and the tear streaks on Sailor Sun's. Their skin had been rubbed raw where they had struggled to get free and stop the madness. Both girl's heads snapped up at her cry.
"Serenity," Sailor Venus cried weakly. "Don't stay here; get away! Hurry!"
Serenity could only shake her head as she was hauled up to the front of the Great Hall, where the teacher's table used to be. There, she saw one of her worst nightmares - Dominos, leader of the Dark Moon.
***
The youma heaved her up to him, where she was forced to her knees. Serenity struggled mightily against this, knowing that to bow before this monster was unheard of, but she wasn't strong enough to fight off about twenty youma without using her magic, which she wanted to save to kill Dominos later. The youma behind her kicked her harshly in the knees and she crumbled, tears stinging her eyes from the pain.
He laughed mockingly when he saw her. "Dear, sweet little Serenity." He smirked. "I might have known you would come back to save your precious friends! Oh, wait, I did!" He laughed uproarisly at this. Serenity felt the anger rise within her, hot and willing to be used to blast Dominos into the ground, but she clenched her teeth and fought it down. Now wasn't the time to loose her temper.
"Uncle(1)," she said steadily, her eyes forewarning pain. "I should have known it would be you who was here. But, silly me, I thought you would have grown up long ago. I guessed I overestimated your maturity-" Her words were abruptly cut off when he grabbed her chin harshly and stared into her silver eyes with his own greyish black.
"Don't you mock me, you little brat!" he drew his arm back and slapped her hard across the face. Serenity was thrown sideways by the force of the hit and landed harshly on her right side. She bit back the yelp of pain that threatened to fall from her pale rose lips, not wanting to give Dominos the satisfaction of her pain.
***
Harry James Potter struggled to get free of the monsters that held him down. He didn't know where his friends were; Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Draco - they had all run off when the attack had started. It had taken them all by surprise. No one had had time to blink before they were there, and attacking with all their strength. Even the mythical Sailor Senshi had been taken by surprise and were subdued.
Harry lifted his head, the only part of his body he could still move freely, and looked up at the front of the Great Hall. He was in time to see a girl with white hair that glimmered with hidden silver be forced to kneel before the leader of the attack. Harry couldn't explain it, but he felt unmentioneable anger rise in him at how the girl was being treated. When the girl was slapped so strongly she was thrown sideways, the anger boiled over. To this day, Harry swore he had no idea why he did what he did, but he did.
"Star Knight Power, MAKE-UP!!!!!!!!!" The words were out of his mouth before he was even aware of what he was saying. All heads snapped to him in shock as he was covered in a blueish white light. He felt his clothes fade away to be replaced by different ones. When he posed, he looked very different. He wore a white shirt, with a whiteish blue(2) coat and trousers. The outside of his cape was the same whiteish blue color, the inside a brilliant dark blue. At his side was a sword. In his hair were two streaks of whiteish blue.
And he knew. That was the most wonderful thing. He knew all about the Silver Millennium and what had gone on since, including what had happened in Hogwarts since the fifth year had commenced. He knew about Serenity and her illusions. He knew it all. And he was ready to have his revenge for most of it.
"Star... Cold Fire Blades..... Strike!!!"(3) He yelled. Immediately, light blue imprints of his sword began flying around the room, glowing with what truly seemed like cold fire. Each time they struck a youma, said youma crumbled immediately to dust.
Star Knight strode forward, his emerald eyes glittering with anger. Several youma back away in fright, returning quickly to portals that would take them back to the Negaverse. The Generals followed suit, not wanting to be near someone that powerful who had lost their temper, until finally, Dominos was all alone.
"Get out," Star Knight said calmly, pointing her sword at Dominos and ready to throw another attack at moment's notice. "Get out, and never come back."
Dominos' eyes darted around, and then he smirked. He made an odd motion with his hand, and suddenly Chibi-Moon and Saturn were in his grasp. "Go ahead, Star Knight," he growled. "Attack me, but take these two brats with me!"
And that's when Serenity lost her temper.

(1) - In my defence, I explained it all ready. Chapter 4, at the end, thank-you very much, so you had a heads up! Go read it if you can't remember, but I don't want any flames whatsoever concerning it because I explained it previously and it's not my fault!
(2) - Okay, you know when you look up at the Stars at night? I see them as kind of a whiteish blue color, which is why Star Knight's features are as such. They're supposed to be the color of the Stars as you see them at night.
(3) - Don't kill me, I had some trouble thinking up his attacks.
*******************************************************************************************
CloverWeave - I hope the explanation I gave will do, because it's the only one I had. I hadn't caught that, actually, and I had meant to mention who was guarding the Gates but I forgot. Arigato for the reminder.
Fairy Goddess Princess Geneva - Thank-you.
Star Girl - Yes, I will help you if you want. I am actually rather surprised you'd want my help, but whatever I can I will. As for the confusion, I thought some people might be. You see, Serena is the golden-haired klutz of a girl who is Sailor Moon. However, she's not real. She's just an illusion. With me so far? Okay, so next, the 'princess' the senshi and we ourselves know isn't real either. The senshi think she is the real thing, but she's not. I named her 'Usagi' to make use of the name. Finally, the real person is Serenity, who has white hair, silver eyes and a white Crescent mark upon her forehead. Serenity kept up the illusions because she didn't want her friends to know the Truth of the Silver Millennium, which you'll find out later. Do you understand?
Tenshi-Hotaru - Yes, Final Battle. I've got the very end all planned out. I can't tell you much, but you will definitely see Princess Aurora and the others. And hai, you're right, her real name is Serenity.
piukka - Aw, thanks.
Koosei - ~sigh~ You're so nice! Thank-you, I'm glad you liked the song. I think it's going to be in Stars Above some chapter, maybe that'll be how Usa and Logan 'come together'? I'm not sure yet. But thanks so much.
Lady Shang - I'm glad you liked it.
Thank-you to everyone who reviewed this chapter. ~bows~ It's much appreciated.
