Chapter 4
A Familiar Face, Flashbacks, And an Envelope
Flashback *****************************
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.

"She just passed out nothing to be afraid of. Her system just couldn't take all the pressure. So her brain just shut down. She'll be all right with time." Amy announced stepping out of the room that they had laid Serena on after she passed out when Lita was taken away.
"This is all too much for her. She can't take all of this stress." Luna said. Mina was laying down on one of the couches with her ankle wrapped up. She was looking at them but turned her head so she could cry. Amy sighed as she sat down and laid her head down. She was exhausted. Darien was looking at a letter the secret admirer had left for Serena. Darien stared hatefully at the letter and he started to rip it up, but he knew that they might need it. So Darien placed it down and walked into the room with the sleeping Serena. He lay down next to her and watched as her chest went up and down. He calmed down as he watched her face.
"Serena, if you can hear me, please be ok. I know that this is hard for you, but baby, I love you and I don't want you to get hurt, and I don't want you to hurt yourself." Darien whispered. He sighed and looked at her. He touched her face and cut the lights out. He lies next to her and fell asleep.
*************
"Serena's not up yet?" Mina asked as she hobbled from the kitchen, early that next day.
Amy shook her head and looked over at Darien who had walked out of the bedroom. He smiled at the girls and went into the kitchen.
"You girls want anything? I can cook almost as good as Lita." Darien said.
"I'm not really that hungry Darien. Thanks for asking." Amy said.
"But I am though. Just make me whatever you are having." Mina said as she wobbled to the couch and plopped down.
"Hi everybody." Artemis yawned as he and Luna stretched.
"Hi. Luna, come here a sec will you?" Amy asked as she pulled out her computer.
Luna walked over and sat on Amy's lap and looked at the computer that Amy had opened.
"Luna, I have been trying to find out who this guy is, but I just can't find anything from the letters. I have scanned the latest letter that he sent Serena and from all the people I suspected, I can't find a match to either of them. So then I thought that the letter wasn't good enough for a match. So then I took the letter and scanned the fingerprints. I got a few. But when I subtract all of us, there are only 2 matches." Amy replied as she typed on her computer. Luna looked at her.
"Who are the other two?" Luna asked.
"Well, I think it would be better to reveal it all when Serena is better and she can take it." Amy said.
"Well, just tell us so we will know what we are dealing with." Mina said sitting up from the couch and standing up too quickly. She yelled in agony and sat back down.
"Mina, it's only a sprain and a twisted ankle. You'll be ok, just watch out where you wobble." Artemis told her. Mina mumbled under her breath and looked at Amy.
"Amy, come on just tell us." Mina said in a whiny voice.
"Ok." Amy sighed as she hit a few buttons and Luna gasped when she saw the pictures of the matches to the fingerprints.
"I know that that is Diamond, but who is this other guy?" Mina asked. At that Darien came out of the kitchen and looked over Amy's shoulder and when he saw Diamond's face he glared and then he pointed to the other guy.
"His name is Stone. And I swear that I have seen him before. It's just, something familiar about him." Darien said.
"He is a force to be reckoned with. Oh my god Artemis, it's Stone." Luna said in an alarmed voice. Artemis came over and looked. He looked at Luna.
"We'll have to tell them. You know they don't remember." Artemis said.
"Tell us what? Artemis, Spill!" Mina said with her hands on her hips.
"I think it would be wise if we waited for Serena to wake up." Luna said as she dismissed the issue and walked into the kitchen where Darien opened some food for her and Artemis. They ate and Darien looked over at Amy who was staring at her computer.
"Amy? What's wrong?" Mina asked suddenly. But Amy just sat there, looking dazed.
**************
Amy's Flashback
****************
Amy saw that they were all back on the moon. Serena was standing next to Darien and her mother, while all the other Sailor Scouts stood in front of them. Amy saw herself next to Mina and Raye.
"Scouts, we need you to be on guard. Stone is after Serenity again. This time he made a threat that he would kill Serena if he couldn't have her as his wife." Queen Serenity stated. The scouts nodded and ran off to take their positions.
The scenes changed and Amy could see herself, Raye, Lita, and Mina running down the halls of the palace. As they ran they heard distant screams coming from Princess Serenity's room. When they got to the door, Sailor Jupiter kicked it open to see Princess Serenity pressed against the balcony. Stone was next to her and he had a tight grip on her hand.
"If you ever want to see Serenity alive again I suggest you move back. I will kill her if you-" Stone was cut off by Serenity stomping on his foot and trying to get away from him but he pushed her and she flipped over the balcony screaming. She managed to hang on to one of the rails. She let out another scream as her hands started to slip.
Sailor Mars used her fireballs to hit Stone but he just walked right through them and grabbed Sailor Mars by the neck and threw her across the room. Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus ran to the balcony to get Serenity, but Stone grabbed them and moved them away. Sailor Mercury threw herself onto Stone's back and he flung her off. She hit the bed and rolled onto the floor. Sailor Jupiter started to release an attack but Stone started to walk over to her. As Sailor Venus started to get up, Serenity screamed as her hands slipped off the railing, and she started to fall.
*************
End Flashback
***************
"AMY!!" Mina yelled into her ear. Amy jumped and looked at her friend.
"I remembered some of it." Amy said. Everyone looked at her strangely.
"I remember Stone. He wanted Serena for himself, and he attacked the palace and threw Serena over the balcony. She was holding on and we were trying to get to her, but we couldn't, he wouldn't let us. And then she fell, and I don't remember anything else." Amy said. Luna looked at Artemis.
"Well Amy, what you remembered is what happened. But all of it will come back to you. We have to wait till Serena wakes up." Artemis said. Amy nodded her head and looked back at Stone's picture.
**************
Serena slowly opened her eyes and looked around where she was. She looked at the walls and sighed. She remembered where she was, and what happened.
"Lita I am so sorry I failed you. You have been protecting me all these years, and I couldn't save you. I let them take away your crystal. How stupid of me!" Serena whispered to herself as tears came down her face. She whipped them away and got out of bed. She opened the door and saw that Amy was looking at her computer and Mina was lying down on the couch.
"Hi guys." Serena said. Everyone looked up and stared at her. This made her feel awkward but she just sat down next to Amy and tried to sneak a peek at what Amy was staring at but Amy closed the computer.
"Sheeesh! I just wanted to look. You don't have to be all protective and crap." Serena said with a small smile.
"Here Serena. You must be hungry so I made you some food." Darien said. Serena smiled and walked into the kitchen. She smiled at him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Well, you are so nice. Making your demented girlfriend some breakfast." Serena said quietly as she kissed him on the lips. He kissed her back and they stayed like that for a few seconds and then Serena pulled away and grabbed her plate.
"Thank you!" Serena said in a happy voice. She sat down and started to eat. Amy said that she would probably take a little plate and Darien had made extras so he fixed her a plate too. They started to eat and Serena finished first. She went back into the living room and made sure that Amy was still eating. Then she snapped open the computer and gasped at the pictures staring back at her.
"Diamond, and Stone." Serena said. She looked at Stone and squinted her eyes.
"I know him from somewhere." Serena said. She stared at the picture and started to close the computer when she started to remember how she had met him.
*****************
Flashback
*****************
Serena was in some sort of room and it had everyone from the Moon Kingdom on one side and people from the Death family on the other side.
Princess Serenity sat next to her mother, and next to Sailor Venus. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Saturn stood by the doors of the room.
"Please understand that we don't want or need this war between us." Queen Serenity said.
"We are sorry to state that we have nothing to agree on Queen. You refuse our requests." Said King Saber.
"Because your requests were just outlandish!" The Queen stated.
"Well I don't know what else to do Queen." The King said. The Queen stood up and Serenity stood as well. The scouts started to stand next to the Princess when they were called back.
"Wait! I have something that will stop this feud." Prince Stone said.
"And what is that?" The King asked his son.
"I would like Princess Serenity's hand in marriage." Prince Stone said.
The Queen and the Princess gasped at that comment and Princess Serenity shook her head.
"I am sorry to inform you that I am already engaged to Prince Endymion from Earth." Princess Serenity replied. Her voice was soft and respectful. That made Prince Stone want to be with her even more.
"Ok. Well, how about we be friends?" Prince Stone asked.
Princess Serenity looked at her mother and slowly nodded her head.
"Sure. That would be ok. You can come by the palace tomorrow at noon. Bye." Princess Serenity said. She bowed and walked out with her mother and the scouts.
*************
End Flashback
*************
Serena looked up from the computer after her flashback and closed it with a snap.
"There's something else. I can't remember all of it. I know there is something else." Serena mumbled to herself. Amy walked in the living room and saw Serena with her computer.
"Did you look?" Amy asked.
"Yeah. And I had a flashback." Serena said.
"Really? What was it?"
"We were trying to make peace with the Death Family, and Prince Stone asked for my hand in marriage. That would be how we would stop our feud. But I told him I was engaged to Darien, and he asked to be my friend. But I know there is something else. I just know it." Serena said deep in thought. Amy told Serena what she had seen in her flashback and Serena slowly nodded her head. She sat down and rested her head in her hands.
"Amy. This is too much for me. I don't know if I can do it." Serena said. She looked up and saw Amy kneeling in front of her. Amy held her close and they stayed like that till there was a faint knock on the front door. Serena slowly got up and went to the door. She opened it and saw nothing but an envelope.
Serena looked around the hall and went back inside. She popped open the envelope and saw some pictures. She pulled them out and when she saw them she screamed.
