Hello my ever wonderful readers. I am so sorry for not updating this faster. It's been so hard to type out the chapters. Please forgive this lowly author, who begs mercy. (he he)

Anyways, here is the 8th chapter. Long awaited, I know. I really hope you guys enjoy this.

I just want to tell you though, this chapter is more serious then the last, but that doesn't mean that the rest of the chapters are going to be. I just need to show it this way. So here it is.

P.S.- I DON'T OWN SAILOR MOON OR ANY OF THE RELATED CHARACTERS. A VERY RICH LADY AND A LOT OF EXECUTIVE PEOPLE OWN THIS WONDERFUL COMIC AND CARTOON.

"Life Turned Upside Down"

By: Tranquill Moon Bunny

Chapter 8

[Same scene as the ending of Chapter 7]-[Narrator]

      It was like a bell ringing though the quiet night; you could here a pin drop. The girls sat crowded together, not knowing exactly what to do next. It had been so long since anyone, except for Serena, had fought anything more then an evil fly. 

      But it turns out they had nothing to worry about. As the scream of yet another innocent victim came echoing into the bullet proof limo, Serena seemed to come to a decision. She quickly took another glance out the same window, making sure of something; she then leapt to the opposite door. Once opened, she gave the "follow me and be quiet" glance, to the girls, who were still staring at her.

      Never had Serena taken control with such skill before. Never had she been so confident of what she was doing, that it shown through her eyes like a beacon of light in the darkest of places. But it didn't take long for them to come out of their stupor, before realizing that the people out there needed them, and they were no help just sitting there like idiots, when the once proclaimed ditz of the sailor scouts didn't even need to take a second glance before turning and running towards the ally directly ahead.

      Darien rushed to the open limo door, only seeing the girl's backs as they ran away.

"Serena, where do you think your going? GET BACK IN HERE!" He yelled, but none of them, especially his Meatball head, heard or paid attention to his concerned yells.

      Seeing that this wasn't going to get him anywhere, he turned back to Sammy, who was staring out the opposite window, watching the yoma rampage through the street. Darien called out to him as he ran after the girls, telling him to stay put. Sammy really wasn't paying attention. 

'Now I can see the family resemblance!' Darien thought as he tried to find where the girls had gone.

[Girls]

"In there!" Serena pointed to the ally in front of them.

      They made it to the dark thin crevice in-between the two short buildings, without any of the secret idiot agents seeing them.

"Ok guys, I think it's safe!" Amy stated, she thought she had heard Darien calling after them, but she didn't see him now, and so supposed it was safe.

"MOON PRISIM POWER"

"VENUS STAR POWER"

"MARS STAR POWER"

"MERCURY STAR POWER"

"JUPITER STAR POWER"

      And once more, there stood the Sailor Scouts. Rested and craving for some yoma ass kicking. They were the infamous team, ready for battle.

      Serena, with her new found leadership skills kicking in once more, jumped onto the roof of the building to her right, giving no time for the others to come up with a strategy like usual. It was all Serena. They followed, all wondering what had happened to their klutzy Ondigo Atama. But no one dared to stop her, for fear that the new Sailor Moon was just their imagination, and any minute they would return to consciousness only to find out that they had been put into a coma because of Moon's high pitched wails.

[Darien's POV]

      I ran, with my head practically spinning around on my neck, trying to find some clue as to where the five girls had just gone.

'Who knew they could all run that fast. It must be some Japanese thing.' My thoughts ran astray, up until a glint of light of a strand of golden hair caught my eyes attention.

'I knew they came this way!'

      But as I reached the opening, I didn't find a trace of anyone of them.

'Where could they have gone?' I asked myself.

'Do I even want to know?'

      I was ready to turn away, walk back to the limo, and uncomfortably tell the secret service agents that the President of the United States' daughter and her four friends had run off and disappeared. That's when I saw those flashes of colors on the roof. Probably a good thing too, it's not hard to figure out who would have been blamed in the end for Serena's meatball headedness.

      So I did the only thing that came to mind. It was perfect for this very situation. I ran after the colors.

[Serena's POV]

      'Where did the negaverse get these things? I mean like what, did they buy them at a flea market. Because if these things have flees, they are so in for bigger issues at this moment. For one they are going to die very very soon, and they are so ugly it's pitiful.'        

      I really don't know what had come over me. Suddenly, hearing that cry for help earlier, had sent an all familiar chill down my spine. Nothing mattered except saving those innocents out side my limo door. And telling you that I felt even the slightest bit of excitement, would be a lie. Who could ever enjoy fighting and killing? It has never sparked one single happy thought in me, and I hope it never will.

      I seem to go off track a lot, don't I? Anyways, back to the present.

      Like I was saying earlier, this monster, as Americans called them, was really ugly. It was shaped like a giant bear, rabbit, and lion thingy. And to top that all off, he had deadly spikes sticking out of its arms, and was shooting them off any chance he/she got.

      The second I set foot on the battle field, other wise known as the park, I got an ugly wooden spike shot right by my ear.

"Now that wasn't very nice, was it? I am the legendary Sailor Moon, champion of love and justice! I shall right wrongs and triumph over evil! Put on this planet, fort he sole purpose of kicking Negaverse trash just like you! Get ready to get moon dusted, nega-slease!"  I got the monster to look my way again, taking it's focus from my friends, for at least a few milliseconds.

"SO SAILOR MOON THINKS SHE CAN SAVE THE DAY! WELL THINK AGAIN WEAKLING! TONIGHT THE MOON WILL SHINE UPON YOUR GRAVE! DIE!"

      It roared and shot at least 15 of it's very very sharp wooden spikes right at me, giving me no time to escape. My friends could do nothing. I could do nothing.

'So this is how it ends?' My thoughts calm and tranquil as I closed my eyes, waiting for the blow that would inevitably kill me.

[Darien's POV- A few minutes before]  

      My heart pulse quickened, my speed increased, and all of a sudden I was in excruciating pain. Not from running, at least I think. No this was pain in my heart. Painful, but then again filling me with a feeling of completeness combined with dread. I didn't know what to make of it. I had only felt it once before, and that was no where near the extent this time.

'What's happening to me?' I thought, as this unknown pain lessened as I started to quicken my pace.

      I could feel it. Like a rope connected to my heart, I was being pulled towards the fight. I didn't know what to think, all that could come to mind was…

'I'm possessed!'

'Then again I can still think for my self, just can't control my body that seems to have grown a brain of its own.'

      Just then I felt a jolt of determination, courage, and sadness entered his train of thought. Like a lightning bolt had just struck him on purpose.

'Now I know those aren't my emotions! WHAT IS GOING ON?'

      Then again at least half of me seemed to know what was going on. Even if it wasn't the logical side, which I greatly prefer.

      My hand then lifted up to about my shoulder height, and made a fist. When it opened, to my great confusion and shock, a perfect blood red rose appeared. Next thing I know, I'm in a tux, hat, and cape (with a deep read lining). It almost reminded me of my Christmas Masquerade costume.

      My feet never stopped. And I was in the air, before I even realized that I was jumping. I landed in a tree, thanking my lucky stars that I had great balance. But it didn't seem to matter anyways. My body was still on it's own.

      My head turned down, and that's when I saw the first moments of the battle, along with the ugliest monster I had ever seen (not scary, just ugly). And not to far away, stood the beautiful Sailor Moon, just as she had been the other night, ready for battle. I then noticed that the legendary members of Sailor Moon's team, had decided to join in this fight.

      Sailor Moon began to talk to the monster, ending her speech by calling it ugly.

"What is she doing?" I asked myself quietly, somehow feeling that  I would find out soon enough.

      And I did. The monster's speech was short, but to the point, ending with more then a few sharp pieces of wood flying at Sailor Moon. She had no way of getting out of the way in time. I could see to my left, that the others watched with frightened eyes, as they saw that they had no way of saving her in time.

      That's when I felt it, as my foreign body leapt from the secure branch. I could feel a sense of raw fright filling my heart. These were my own emotions. The others weren't mine, but they still invaded my mind. I knew then, that I was feeling Sailor Moon's true emotions. Like a book, I could read the feelings of fear, dread, and acceptance.  

      I heard her voice in my head, as if she was saying it right in my ear.

"So this is how it ends?"

'No…it isn't!' Answering her, in thought, as my arms grabbed on to her. The spikes closing in on us quickly.
