From Schoolgirl to Royal 19/?
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon; none of these characters are mine, no infringement intended.
A/N: This doesn't really follow the timeline, although it is after season 1. Even though, Serena is the moon princess, Darien doesn't know that she is Sailor Moon. Just pretend that the whole evil-Darien thing never happened and the scouts defeated Beryl on their own, but didn't loose their memories. Sorry if this is confusing; if you have any questions just ask.
Serena may seem OOC in the next few chapters, but let's just say she is extremely stressed out and that explains her sensitivity and she's pissed because her family was attacked which will explain her bouts of seriousness.
Warning: Some cursing and otherwise bad language.
At the Altar of Fire
I landed on the floor hard, falling on my arm in the process. I looked up in time to see a wall of fire expand and quickly block off our means to escape.
As I got to my feet shakily I noticed the various cuts on my arms and neck from where I jumped through the pane of glass to enter the shop. My uniform was singed and trails of blood discolored the white bodysuit I wore.
I noticed that the two citizens of Tokyo were no where to be seen and as the fire grew around me I had to fight down a sense of acute panic. I slowly made my way through the smoke and calling out to the shopkeeper as I went I began exploring the premises.
The more I screamed the more it became more difficult to breath as more and more smoke filled my lungs. Just as I was about to black out from smoke inhalation I heard a woman's voice answering me from a distance. She sounded hysterical, just moaning and whimpering so soft that I could barely hear her at all. It was just as I was about to give up when I heard a welcome voice coming from the same position.
"Sailor Moon?" The man asked in a strong voice, giving me a good idea of where they were standing. I quickly made my way in their direction.
"Yes." I reassured them. "I am here to get you out. I need you to keep talking so that I can find you."
"Don't worry we don't have much else to do." The man answered humorously, surprising a short laugh out of me. Unfortunately I spent the next few seconds afterwards trying to expel the smoke from my lungs. "We'll stay right here."
"Good, see that you do." I called out quickly, before concentrating all of my concentration on making my way to them. Just as I was a few feet away and I could actually see their outline through the fire part of the roof caved in and I was hard-pressed to jump out of the way in time to avoid being flattened.
I landed with a gasp as my leg got stuck under a bit of the rubble. I was able to extract it through sheep power, straining a few muscles in the process. As I traversed the last couple of feet, now limping painfully, I finally found them. The woman, presumable the little girl's mother, was lying on the ground keening in pain. It was only upon closer examination that I saw the jagged piece of wood sticking out from her upper leg. It was amazing she hadn't passed out from the pain yet. The man was in his mid to late twenties and seemed a little bruised but otherwise all right. Upon seeing me both their exhausted and frightened faces lit up.
"I knew you would find us." The shop owner gushed, causing me to blush in embarrassment. "Now how will we get out of here?"
I quickly looked around the room looking for any means of escape, finding none. By this time the walls were almost covered in fire and the floor was rapidly following suit. The falling debris from the roof blocked of the way I entered from. Our only hope was if I could get us out through the hole in the left side of the roof. There were two main problems with this plan however. The first was that I would have to run through the fire to get a running start if I hoped to get through the hole. The second problem was that the hole was too small for all of us to make it at the same time. Knowing my body wouldn't be able to make the jump again I needed to find a way to expand the hole without causing the whole building to collapse on to of us. My first thought was my tiara, but I quickly realized that it could do more harm than good, and I hastily took out my moon wand. [This has to work1]
"Moon Gorgeous Meditation!" I shouted hoarsely through the smoke. Thankfully it was enough as a brilliant moon beam shot out of my wand and hit the roof. There was a huge blast of light and I had to turn my head away. When I turned back I saw that the wand did its job perfectly. The hole was now three sizes larger that it had been a few second before. "You." I said pointing to the guy abruptly. "Get over here and help me pick up the woman."
"It's Brodick and she is Melanie." He said as he quickly helped me lift the injured woman into my arms.
"Good to know." I murmured, not having time at that point to get acquainted. "I've got Melanie secure. Brodick gab onto my neck and waist tightly."
"You can't possible lift us both at once." Brodick exclaimed in disbelief. "Take Melanie out first and come back for me. She's already injured and needs a doctor."
"I wont be able to do this again, so stop arguing and hold on. If we waste more time none of us will get out." I growled sharply. "I'll be able to lift both of you easily."
I didn't particularly know if that was the truth but I would be damned if I gave him cause to doubt me. As soon as I felt Brodick grab onto me from behind I took a running leap and jumped right through the fire and running towards the opening in the roof. Just as I jumped off, my leg wrenched from under me causing me to wail out in pain, but otherwise keep moving. The combined weight of the two adults that I was carrying caused excruciating pain to shoot up my leg at every step, but I managed to block it out as I concentrated on getting them out to safety. As I jumped I only managed to get the top of my body on the roof. With Melanie in my arms and unable to move, I needed Brodick to climb over my back and pull us all out of the building.
"Are you out of your mind?" Brodick yelled in shock. "If I do that I could knock you off the roof completely."
"Do it!" I snapped back, having no patience for an argument at that point.
I kept as still as I could and only breathed once Brodick had made his way over me and had two feet planted on the roof. From there he managed to pull Melanie and me up as well. Limping noticeably now, I instructed Brodick to retake his position holding on to my back and quickly jumped off the building. Not a moment too soon either, as just as soon as we landed in a heap of arms and legs on the ground the building exploded outward into a huge fireball, lighting up the night sky.
