Tears of The Heart
Chapter 3
The Guardians Come Home
"Hello Scouts." Luna said as she and Artemis walked into Darien's house.
Lita came out the kitchen, Amy looked up from her computer, and Mina closed the front door back.
"Where are Serena, Raye, and Darien?" Artemis asked.
"Darien and Serena are in the guest room. Serena broke down and cried after she received this note." Lita said as she handed it to the cats. As they read it Luna gasped.
"Where's Raye?" Luna asked.
"In here." Mina responded as she opened up the bedroom door. The cats walked in and saw Raye, lying lifeless on the bed. Luna walked out and turned to the guest room. She tapped on the door and Darien opened it up a few afterwards.
"Luna!" He said. Luna nuzzled his leg and then walked into the room. Serena turned around and stared at Luna.
"Hi Luna." Serena said weakly.
"Serena, please don't stay in here crying over this. What happened to Raye isn't your fault. Now come in the living room so we can all have a little meeting." Luna instructed. Serena sniffled and sat up obediently. She stood up and her and Darien followed Luna out the room and into the living room.
"Now, in order to fight this new threat you must understand what it is that was taken from Raye. It is known as the Spirit Crystal. It holds a person's spirit and being. In that crystal is the life of the person that it was taken from. Once the Crystal is destroyed, that person will die." Luna said. Serena had tears streaming down her eyes but she whipped them away as she listened to Luna.
"It takes a powerful monster or creature to do this, and if the monster you defeated was as hard to kill as you say, then I want to make sure you scouts now to watch out. I don't want you guys to be hurt like Raye is. For now, try to keep on your feet during a battle." Luna said.
"Luna, is there anyway that a person can give off their energy to save the person who's Crystal has been broken?" Lita asked.
"Sure. But the person must be very strong to be able to withstand that major loss of energy." Luna said.
Serena's head popped up as she stared at the cat. Luna sensed this and looked at Serena with alarm.
"Serena I know what you are thinking and you wont be sacrificing yourself like that. That is too much of a risk and you might not live through it." Luna said. The scouts looked at Serena and slowly back at Luna. Artemis looked over at the girls from Mina's arms.
"Scouts, you must be careful. We have to make sure that no harm comes to anymore of you girls." Artemis said. The girls nodded and Serena sighed.
"Well from my note I have until tonight. When he calls. I can't give myself to him. So I guess we must prepare for a battle. I will never give up my future, my destiny. I can't give up on Rini." Serena said. She put her head in her hands and started to let the tears flow once again.
"Serena stop crying. Baby you are going to give yourself a headache." Darien whispered. Serena sniffled and leaned on him as she looked over at Amy who smiled at her.
"I need to get something from the store. Darien you are out of carrots." Lita said. Darien looked at her and nodded his head.
"Hey, how about I go with you. I don't think it would be wise for you to go alone." Mina said. Lita smiled and got her coat. They walked out the apartment and Serena got up and went into the bathroom.
"Amy, what are you doing?" Darien asked.
"Trying to find out what that creature was, and what's is sore spots that we can attack quick without wasting energy."
"Sounds good. You guys really need that." Darien said. Amy continued to tap on her computer while Serena sat back down. She picked up Luna and stroked the cat.
"Luna I missed you." Serena said."
"I missed you too Serena." Luna said as she rubbed her body against Serena. Darien's phone started to ring and he picked it up.
"Hello." Darien said. He handed the phone to Serena and Serena knew it was her "Secret Admirer".
"Hello?" Serena said into the phone.
"What's your answer?" The male voice asked.
"I will not jeopardize my future. Just go away!!" Serena said into the phone. "Leave my friends alone."
"Sorry Serena, I just can't do that. I will not stop until you are mine. And as for your friends, you should be careful on who you send to the store."
"You bastard!!" Serena said.
CLICK.
Serena slammed the phone down and kicked the side of the sofa. She was breathing hard and she looked over at Amy.
"What happened???" They all asked her.
"We have to find Mina and Lita. They are in great danger." Serena said.
At that time Amy's communicator beeped. She picked it up and soon saw a battered and beaten Mina.
"Mina!! What happened?" Amy asked.
"We were attacked. This thing came out of the ground and before we could transform, it grabbed Lita and started to beat her. I was thrown and.... we need help. Lita is very hurt. This monster wont let her go. She's trying to fight but can't, I can't help her, my ankle is broken I think." Mina said as she let out a sob.
"We'll be right there." Amy said. When she turned around Serena was already in her outfit. Amy changed and so did Darien. Luna and Artemis ran with them and when they got to the place that the yells were coming from, they found Mina laying on the ground, and Lita being beaten. She had managed to transform, but was fighting a losing battle. Sailor Moon ran over towards her without thinking and she came with her scepter. She looked over at the monster and pointed it.
"MOON SCEPTER DESTROY!!!!!!!!!!" Sailor Moon yelled as her anger surfaced. The scepter hit the monster but it just raised a tentacle and slapped Sailor Moon to the ground. Tuxedo Mask came forward to help her but Sailor Moon got right back up. She was breathing hard as she looked at Lita who was now in the monster's grip. Its tentacle was wrapped around her waist and another was slowly wrapping itself around her neck.
"LET HER GO!!" Sailor Moon yelled. The monster's eyes flashed and hit her harder this time. Sailor Moon slid against the ground, making her leg and arm scrape. Sailor Moon struggled to get back up and when she did she saw Amy being thrown aside. Darien was fighting the monster off of Lita, but wasn't doing much of a good job.
Sailor Moon ran over and was lifted off the ground as the monster wrapped another tentacle around her. She looked and saw Lita struggling to breath. At that time another tentacle shot out of nowhere and went straight through Lita's body. Sailor Moon screamed when she saw that but was silenced when the monster pulled out Lita's Spirit Crystal. Lita screamed while it was being pulled out of her, but as soon as it left her body she fell silent. Her body turned pale and her eyes closed. She stopped struggling and Sailor Moon had her eyes wide. She watched Lita as she fell half dead before her eyes. Sailor Moon could not believe what she had just witnessed.
Sailor Moon kicked and screamed but nothing was going to bring the life back into Lita, nothing but her Spirit Crystal. The monster dropped Sailor Moon and as soon as she hit the ground she took out her scepter and issued her attack on the tentacle that was holding Lita. When her attack was finished Lita was dropped to the ground. Sailor Moon ran over to her and dropped herself next to her. She looked over at her friend and touched her face.
"Lita. Lita can you hear me? Lita you have to wake up. You hear me? Don't you leave me too." Serena said choking on sobs. She hugged Lita and was instantly thrown away. She looked and saw Lita being taken away by the monster.
"NO!!! NO!!!! LITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sailor Moon screeched. And then everything went black.
