Chapter 2: What Happened?

Tuxedo Mask stood in the main hall of the palace waiting for his master to come in. The palace was dark with gray and dark blue as its main colors. The only semi bright things in the room, were the bright red carpets.

Tuxedo Mask stood stock still until Tendrom walked in, and then he bowed. "How did everything go?" Tendrom asked as he sat down.

"I did not end up killing them, I did however, torture their minds," snickered Tuxedo Mask.

"Very good!" Clapped Tendrom. I can't wait till those pesky girls are dead! Then the world will be mine! "Are you going back again tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"What will you do? I will torture them once again. I might even kill one of them."

"Wonderful! Now go to your chamber and don't come out of there until told!" Tendrom ordered.

Tuxedo Mask went to his room. His room consisted of a small cot and a window where he could look out unto a dark and desolate ocean. There was lamp beside his bed and a small dresser. That was all there was. He transformed back into Darien as he sat down on his bed.

"Whoa…I don't feel too good," he said out loud as he passed out on his bed.

Darien woke up drenched in sweat. He had just dreamed he had hurt his one true love, Sailor Moon. "Did I do that?" He asked himself looking down at his hands. And then he realized it. He had done that. "NO!" He screamed as he clutched his head while the images flashed before his eyes of the fight he had with Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts.

Darien looked out the window. "I have to get out of here! I have to go tell Serena that I do love her! I love her so much!" He got up and tried to break the barred window, but nothing worked. What am I going to do?! What have I done?! Where am I?!  All these questions were flying through his head as fast as the images.

"HELP ME!" He screamed at the top of his longs.

"No one can help you! You will be Tendrom's slave forever!" Laughed a man dressed in a black cloak that covered his face.

"I will not succumb to him! I am the Prince! I will destroy him!" Darien then tried to send a rose at him, but nothing worked. "what the hell?"

"Come here you!" The cloaked man said pointing his finger at Darien.

Darien then was dragged over to the guard by a mysterious force. "GET OFF ME!" Darien fought as the guard threw him on to the bed and held him down.

"I will not tolerate you any longer!" He announced as he pulled out a syringe and stuck it in Darien's neck.

Darien immediately became still.

This brainwashing stuff works like a charm! The cloaked man laughed in his head as he walked out of the room.

"What are we going to do?" Bawled Serena as the group sat down at the table in Serena's house.

"We are going to get Darien back!" Announced the girls simultaneously.

"But how? We have tried everything!"

"I have an idea," commented Luna as she sat on Serena's lap.

 "What is it?" Amy asked as she petted the cat.

"We need to trap him."

"What do you mean?" Serena sniffled.

"We need to somehow trap him in a room and then tie him down or something or to her to keep him there."

"I don't think ropes will be able to hold that guy down," stated Mina.

"You could use your love chain," added Rini.

"I could do that," she agreed.

"Then once he is in there, Serena you do your thing," added Luna.

"What thing will I do?" Questioned Serena.

"Bring him back to this reality. Try and convince him that you two really do love each other."

"You could help too, Rini," added Artemis as he jumped onto Lita's head.

"Hey!" She laughed pulling him off and into her lap.

"I could help?" she asked smiling.

"Yes!" The girls said altogether.

"Ok!"

"Will this work?" Serena asked as tears formed in her eyes.

"If you believe that it will, it should," answered Raye giving an encouraging smile.

Serena nodded her head. "If it will work, then let's do it!"

"Where should we meet tomorrow?" Amy asked.

"What place would show Darien what his old life used to be like?" Luna asked.

"His home!" Answered Rini happily.

"Are you sure?" Artemis asked.

"Yes! That is the perfect place! Because that is where he took Sailor Moon after that one fight at the masquerade. That is where the two fell in love!"

Serena blushed.

"How cute!" Lita giggled.

"Ok, then it is decided Sailor Scouts! Tomorrow morning at Darien's!" Luna announced.

 The girls then all went their separate ways.
