Chapter 2- Who's Who?
Serena blinked her eyes to rid herself of the fog, a fog that did not disappear.
"Where am I?" she asked no one but herself and her heavy heart. Hearing the faint echo of her voice she looked around only to find this thick mist encasing everything.
"What am I doing hear?" this time believing she would not get an answer relaxed to ponder her location.
"You are with me, trapped." A familiar voice sounded behind her. She gasped and looked behind herself to find… herself, or at least what could have been her. The same cerulean blue eyes looked back at her. The same honey colored hair floated freely behind her, the same body, and the same face. The only difference was this... imposters smile. It was more of a sneer.
"Serenity, you fought me even as we battled your pitiful friends, you know that, and that alone, is the only thing that stopped me from killing them?" she added in my voice, yet colder, meaner.
"I don't know what you're talking about, WHO ARE YOU?" this… THING… was just playing with me, this HAD to be some sort of nightmare, everything is a nightmare and I'll wake up and it'll all be gone.
"Why Serenity, I am you!" she stated back casually as if it was no surprising sort of thing.
"YOU AREN'T ME! I WOULDN'T ATTACK MY FRIENDS!" I screamed back disbelieving. I would never even dream of doing such a thing!
"Oh but you did," it replied in a sing song voice as it disappeared, "you did and you will see the pain you have caused them!" it laughed as I felt myself being locked into place.
A scene appeared before me, Mars shouting with mercury being shouldered by Jupiter in the background. The scene flicked like a bad movie screen and then I appeared, but it was not my smile nor my laugh that sounded out into the battle field, as blasts of raw power bombarded my friends.
I cried out and struggled against the bonds but a faint chuckle stopped me, "isn't it beautiful how friends can betray each other so easily, well in this case it's you betraying them, wounding them, laughing at them. Look at how the shout for you to stop but you don't." it whispered in my ear.
"That isn't me." I whispered shutting my eyes.
"Denial is not only a river in Egypt eh?" chuckling ensued again as the scene and the force holding me disappeared.
"I would never attack my friends, THAT IS YOU OUT THERE NOT ME!" I shouted, I wanted this... this… monster to know it!
"oh so you figured it out, yes, yes, yes that is partly me down there… it is more or less me using you to destroy. It is me feeding of what you wanted to happen that let me do this, so it doesn't matter, the pain is all you fault," chuckling continued, "or maybe it is Darien's fault eh? He is the one who caused you grief so it is HIS fault!"
I couldn't respond, Darien had caused me pain, anguish, but was it his fault? Laughing reverberated throughout the misty depths of this dungeon, scenes appearing everywhere, repeating the battle my memories of the funeral, his blunt ways of hurting me, my friends entrapping me in this prison.
Is it my friends' fault that I'm stuck here? No, it couldn't be, they were only doing their duty to the world to get rid of the evil, of this monster that was toying with my heart.
A scene of Jupiter attacking me to stop me from attacking a young man flitted across my vision.
But what of their duty to you, dear Serenity?
Them standing about me as the moon kingdom fell to pieces, them standing about me as I banished Beryl for the second and last time.
I am only one person, I do not matter… the world does.
A painful memory of standing beside a dutiful prince upon an asteroid headed for earth.
But are you not their friend, their companion, their Princess?
Memories of saving them after there heart crystals had been stolen, and using the power granted by the moon to protect them came and went across my line of vision.
I have betrayed them. I deserve this prison, to be trapped with this vile creature.
Scenes of complaining about fighting, always showing up late for battles, and leaving Crisis Power Emblem to Pharaoh 90.
Are you sure? Do you not wish revenge upon them, upon the world and its inhabitants that they chose over you?
And as a sight of Mars yelling for me to transform came into my line of view I left the question to ponder and lifted the locket from my shirt.
"I will no longer let you taunt me, I have lost hope in love, not of my friends!" and with in that statement alone brought me a new hope, a hope that my friends were alive and were counting on me.
My foe appeared still me but not, for where this being was with out a heart, I had one, I had enough hope to fight her, myself. The question was, was I strong enough?
I new not how long we battled nor how much stronger I was becoming. I only new I had to save my friends. I could feel them now, surrounding me in there love, their own hope, I would not fail them again!
It felt like days, had past yet I grew neither tired nor hungry. My opponent did not seem any weaker either. And so this continued neither of us giving in and neither of us letting the other take over, we couldn't. Both of us were fighting for survival, fighting for life that neither of us had much experienced.
I tried to find its weakness, but just because it looked like me I knew it was not, for my own weaknesses would not work against it. As we battled memories sounded around us, me crying, me fighting, listening to Raye yell at me, but none of it deterred me from my goal.
Its last words that had not contained insults, but a question kept running through my head
Do I wish revenge on a planet that caused me so much grief, to cause me to hate them so much?
Years passed by as the angel Serena and her demon fought a battle no one would ever see, and as they fought time flew by on the earth below. A war had started and a Doctor named Jay, a doctor that would help to save the world by destroying one life, found a little boy. And as technology and science replaced that of fairytales and magic, it became harder to believe in hope, and that peace would ever be something that would be placed back on the earth again.
Heero Yui was busy typing on his laptop, not an abnormal thing for the young adult, when a tell-a-tale ding rang through his dark dull bedroom. It was, not surprisingly enough, from his tutor and the only thing close enough to resemble anything like a father he had ever known. Opening it he found a curious lengthy message for him.
"01 I need you and the rest of the pilots to head to the old OZ base on the moon, strange readings have been coming from the moon lately and I want to know if they are dangerous or if they can be harnessed for any sort of use to the preventors."
Heero snapped his laptop closed told his companions the mission and they were to head out in the morning. June eighteenth, one month prior to an event that they didn't now about that had happened so many years ago.
The statues around they silver encasing remained dormant of all power soul and body. Having been built of a weaker substance then the main statue they remained on the planet below the enchanting moon, the only ones to know its true secret. Soon, they all felt it there princess would succeed. All eight of the women had kept in constant contact, being people who were technically non existing they had been creating lives for themselves and there princess, false lives, but lives all the same. They dreaded this upcoming event; their friend would either destroy the demon with her, or free both of the warriors and create another war. Having experienced the last one they were all looking for a little less fighting.
Of course where a little moon bunny is concerned… that would not be happening.
OKIE DOKIE!!! I'm done this chapter, no worries Serena will break out and then a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo is gonna happen… well I hope you enjoyed the mumbo jumbo for this chapter! BYE BYE!!!
