Tears of The Heart
Chapter 5
Pushed Over The Edge
Serena looked at the pictures in her hand. They showed Lita and her Spirit Crystal. But what made Serena scream was the scribbled little note on the side of it. It said: I WILL DESTROY THE CRYSTAL!
Amy looked at the picture. She stifled a gasp as Luna and Artemis came into the room. Darien was helping Mina walk in the room and they all looked at the picture in Serena's hand.
"There are more pictures." Amy said. Serena flipped through them and saw herself as Princess Serenity. She was kissing Stone in the garden. Serena's eyes got huge as she flipped to the next one. It was of Darien and her and they looked like they were having an argument. The last picture was the same picture of her and Stone kissing, but they could see Darien in the background staring at them with shock. Serena flung the pictures in the air and looked through the rest of the envelope to see if there was anything else in there. It was. Serena picked up the note and opened it. It said:
Serena,
Those pictures are of us, when we were in love. You left Darien for me. And yet, you will not come back to me. If it takes killing the Sailor Scouts, to get you back, I will do it. Your Dear friend Lita will be ok, for now. But I swear if you don't meet me at the Starlight Park today at 5, I will kill her. And it will be all your fault. So if you want to keep your friends, and the ones that you still have next to you, safe, then you should listen to what I say.
Love Always,
Secret Admirer
Serena glared at it and looked up at Darien.
"Darien, what should I do?" Serena asked.
"I- I don't know. You meet him, he takes you, and you could be in danger. I just don't know what to do anymore Serena." Darien said as he sat down. Serena sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around him. She laid her head on his shoulder and looked up at her friends.
"Guys?" Serena asked.
"Well Serena, I think you should just tell him to go suck a duck. I mean he can't do this to you. He's trying to force you into a relationship with him. And this will certainly alter the future." Mina said. She was leaning against a wall.
"I think that it wouldn't be that bad if you meet him Serena. How about you meet him, and we hide out somewhere. But we will be watching you. What do you think?" Amy asked.
"It sounds like a good idea." Serena said thoughtfully. "Luna, what do you think?"
"I don't know Serena, Stone is a very dangerous person. But if we will be there to watch you, then I suppose nothing bad could happen." Luna said. "Artemis?"
"I think that it is a great idea. But if he does anything, we have you guys have to be ready to attack. So transform before you get there. Hopefully, this will go well."
*****************
Serena walked slowly through the park, alone. She hoped everything went well like they planned it to. Serena sat down on a bench in a secluded area in the park. There was not that many people there and Serena didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
************
"Everything looks pretty clear for now." Mina whispered to Darien. Darien had his eyes focused on Serena. He nodded his head and turned to Amy.
"How long we have to wait?" Darien asked.
Amy checked her watch. "He should be here soon." Amy stated. At that time they saw a little black cloud form next to Serena.
**********
Serena gasped and jumped away from the bench. The cloud dispersed and standing before her was Stone. In the flesh. Serena looked at him and he walked over to her. H smiled and touched her face. Serena slowly moved away.
"Why are you doing this to me?" Serena asked.
"Serena, you belong with me. We had a past, those pictures are proof."
"Well I don't believe those pictures. I don't believe one thing of it. I would never cheat on my Prince." Serena said. Stone looked a little hurt, but he cupped her face and kissed her. Serena was shocked. She pushed him away and backed up.
"What are you doing?" Serena asked as she backed up more.
Stone reached out to her and tried to touch her. "I-I love you Serena." He said.
"Well I don't love you. I hate you for what you did to my friends, I hate you for what you did to me, I HATE YOU!!!!!" Serena yelled.
Stone backed up at her outburst. He looked at her and his eyes flashed.
"Well if you wont join me, then I guess you will need a little more convincing." He said. He grabbed her arm and Serena yelled as she tried to hit him.
"VENUS CRESCENT BEAM SMASH!!!!!!!" Venus yelled. She hit Stone with it, and he just looked at her and glared. He tossed Serena and she hit a tree. She fell to the ground and groaned.
"MERCURY ICE BUBBLES BLAST!!!!!" Mercury said as she tried to stop Stone from attacking Sailor Venus. Tuxedo Mask used his roses to try and stop Stone but soon Stone called forth a monster that grabbed Tuxedo Mask and Serena slowly started to get up, but her head started to spin. She grabbed onto the tree to balance herself. She groaned and looked and saw Sailor Venus limping. Stone grabbed her by the hair as she screamed out in pain. Sailor Mercury was picking herself up off the ground as Stone conjured up an energy ball and threw it straight through Venus. She screamed in agony as her Spirit Crystal was pushed out of her body. Stone took it and threw Venus to the ground. Serena gasped as she tried to stand. When she did, she transformed to Sailor Moon. She rushed over and tried to protect Sailor Mercury.
"Stay away." Sailor Moon said to Stone. She took out her Scepter and pointed it at Stone.
"Take another step toward us and I will attack." Sailor Moon said.
"Serenity, I don't think you can hurt me with that." Stone said advancing toward them. Sailor Moon picked up her scepter.
"MOON SCEPTER ELIMINATION!!!!!!!!" She yelled the blast went straight at Stone, but he lifted his Hands and the attack reversed and hit Sailor Moon. She screamed as she fell and knocked down Sailor Mercury with her. Sailor Moon was breathing hard. She looked up and saw Stone grab Sailor Mercury. He called his monster and it grabbed Serena. Tuxedo Mask was still struggling with the monster but it was too strong. It held Sailor Moon out, and Stone kissed her cheek. The he did the same thing he did to Venus to Mercury. Mercury yelled as her Spirit Crystal was forced out of her.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sailor Moon yelled as she felt her eyes start to burn with tears. Stone ordered the monster to let them go and Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon fell to the ground. Stone then hit them with a huge energy blast that left them hurt and unable to move. The monster grabbed Sailor Mercury and Sailor Venus, and walked away.
Sailor Moon jumped up fast, ignoring her injuries and she ran after them but they vanished and she collapsed to her knees, crying.
************
"He's taken almost everyone I love Luna. I'm gonna have to do it. I will not risk him hurting Darien. I WILL NOT!" Serena said to Luna. Serena was pacing back and forth and Darien stood up to hold her.
"Serena, I will not let you sacrifice yourself for me. It's going to be ok." Darien said.
"No Darien it won't. If he attacked you, I don't know what I would do." Serena said. She buried her head in his shirt and started to cry. Darien held her close and laid his chin on the top of her head.
"Serena, nothing will happen to me." Darien said. He held her close and rocked her back and forth.
"I'm sleepy. Luna, I'll see you in the mourning. You too Artemis." Serena said to the cats. Artemis nodded his head. He had tears in his eyes. He was thinking about Mina and Serena knew it. She hugged the cat and then walked into Raye's room.
"Hey Raye. I know, I failed you guys, and I know that maybe I am not a very good leader, but I am trying. I know you would call me meatball head and yell at me all the time, but I still love you. Don't you leave me too." Serena said in between sobs. She held Raye's limp hand and squeezed it. "Please help us. Give me some strength." Serena whispered. She kissed the raven-haired girl's forehead and left the room.
*************
Serena was in Darien's arms as she slept. She felt safe when she was in his arms. She turned around to face him with her eyes closed. She was about to drift back to sleep when the glass shattered near their bed. Serena jumped up and screamed and Darien woke up with a start. A green hand shot through the window and grabbed Darien. Serena screamed and grabbed onto Darien trying to hold him to her. But it was no use, the monster was stronger and it used its other hand to slap her into the wall. Serena groaned and sat up as she watched the monster take Darien's Spirit Crystal. He yelled as it was taken from him and his pain caused Serena to cry. She leaped up and tried to grab the crystal but the monster grabbed her. Serena yelled and cried as she touched the crystal with the tips of her fingers but was thrown away.
"DARIEN!!!!" Serena screamed as she saw him being lifted out the window, and soon vanished with the monster. Luna and Artemis had been standing there the whole time watching in dismay as Serena started to get hysterical. But as soon as the tears flowed they stopped. Serena stood up.
"I call upon the powers of the silver crystal. I need your help. Give me the strength that I will need for this battle. Give me the strength to kill our enemy and save my friends." Serena murmured with her eyes tightly closed.
"MOON CRYSTAL POWER!!!!!!!" Serena yelled. She transformed and was now Princess Serenity. Serena closed her eyes and raised the crystal above her head.
"Artemis, Luna, stay with Raye and watch her please. Make sure that nothing happens to her while I'm gone." Serena said. Then she closed her eyes again.
"MOON CRYSTAL TELEPORTAION!!!" Serena yelled and with a bright white glow, she vanished.
*************
"I have everyone that she loves. There is nothing that will stop her from loving me. Nothing." Stone said with a smile on his face.
"You're wrong!" Serena said as she appeared. She let the crystal vanish inside of her as she slowly walked over to Stone.
"You will give all of my friend's crystals back." Serena said with an edge to her voice. Serena looked over at the tables and saw her friends and Darien. All of them were still breathing.
"I don't think so Serenity." Stone said with a smile. He walked over to her and kneeled in front of her.
"Will you marry me?" he asked, taking her hand into his."
"No." Serena said taking her hand away from him. He got up and his eyes flashed.
"Fine. You hurt me, I hurt you." he said. He picked up a small case that held 5 Spirit Crystals in it. He raised it above his head and before Serena could react, he slammed it to the floor. Breaking every Crystal. Serena looked over to her friends and saw them all suddenly stop breathing.
