A Tangent in the Future
By Crystaldove
Chapter 9
The next few days were uneventful for Serena and the rest of the soldiers. Serena had thought a long while about how she could assist Ayden and Blake and decided that having a meeting with the people of Nemesis was the best solution.
"Ayden, I want to help you…all of you. In order for me to do that, I need to know all the ways that your people felt wronged by the endowment of extended life."
"The consensus felt that this privileged should have been a choice. Some of my people are afflicted with horrible disease that wasn't cured before receiving extended life. So they have spent hundred of years suffering when all they wanted was the right to die."
"That's it, I thought there would have been more."
"No, the king took away our right to choose. I know that some ailments can not be cured, but to live in agony for all that time. And the bills, most people outside of Crystal Tokyo spent all of their earnings on their loved ones constant medical bills."
"So instead of enjoying the spoils of a long life, my citizens had to watch the sufferings of their friends and family. Did the King and Queen know of this?"
"Endymion took great lengths to keep things from you, he knew you would have been compelled to help. You would meet monthly with the governors of all providences, but they were forewarned by the king on what not to mention. He would remind them of the history of all those that opposed you so in a way they feared making you angry."
"That bastard…twisting all that I have been through to satisfy his needs. Did he think I would have left him, that he would have lost his cushy position as King? Terra is his planet and this is how he treated his own people. He knew if I had any idea of what he was doing, I would have left and Earth would have been shunned from the Alliance until my daughter came of age…"

"Give me the Silver Crystal! I need it to save my mother!"

"Oh my… Reeny! She wanted the crystal to…save…her…to save me. Reeny is my daughter…Darien's and mine! I should have realized, she acts just like him. I'm correct, right Ayden?"
"Yes, Small Lady is Reeny and is your daughter. She is the Princess Small Lady Serenity, heir to the Earth, Moon and Crystal Tokyo."
"That spoiled brat is my heir; not in this lifetime!"
"Serena?"
"Nothing. When can I meet your people?"
"How does tomorrow morning sound, we can have a summit."
Serena nodded and retreated to her chambers.
That night Darien put Reeny back in his bed. He was doing the 'princely' thing of sleeping on the couch. But his hospitality was wearing thin. He was trying to find a way to dump this brat back on Serena whenever she came back from where ever she was.
"I'm so happy I get to be here with you Darien. Serena isn't able to keep a fish talking about protecting me properly."
"Well if you kept yourself out of trouble, she wouldn't have had to save your butt all the time!"
"Darien?"
"Stop with the crying, damn your as bad as Serena. I thought you were better than that."
Reeny looked at him with big cinnamon eyes and stopped crying.
"Your right Darien, my poppa would say the same thing. I will be better…good night."
But it wasn't a good night for either one of them…
Reeny found herself having the most troubled sleep she had ever experienced. She was standing in a great hall facing two animals, one a dove the other a crow. Both were as tall as humans and had human-like features. Both began to speak, the dove first with the crow responding…
"What do you want with me?"
"Children should be seen and not heard…"
"Heard and not seen…"
"Why are you here?"
"Here why you are?"
"I'm running from the bad people, no one will help me."
"No one will help you, or you didn't want her help"
"Her help…her help…help her…"
"What are you talking about?"
"We thought you were smart, you told her you didn't want her help."
"Her help….her...help her…"
"I just want the crystal."
"The crystal…isn't it ironic, the one you hate; you need the most."
"Need the most, you need…need the one you hate…hate…the most, most."
"Why are you here? She is the keeper of what you need, the owner of what she has…"
"She is the keeper…keeper of what she has"
"Stop it! You are speaking in riddles, I just want to save my…."
"Save her? Silly child, child, you don't know who she is?"
"Who she is…is…who is she?"
"She's the one…the chosen one to save us…"
"The one chosen is she…to save us…"
"No, my mommy is the only one with the power to save"
"Your mother has the power."
"Power is in your mother….she is the Queen"
"She is the chosen one…she has the power"
"The power is in the chosen one…but what is power?"
"You are just like him…blind to the obvious."
"The obvious has made you blind…like him…he is blind…"
"You mean Darien?"
"The time has come for the blind to see…"
"Blind to see…see the time; it has come."
"He has hurt her, he pushed her away."
"Hurt her, he hurt her…hurt him….HURT HIM"
"No, you can't hurt Darien, Serena deserves all that he did to her…"
"STUPID CHILD! You know not who she is!"
"WHO IS SHE, STUPID CHILD!"
"SHE'S THE ONE THAT CAN SAVE YOU…SHE IS YOUR MOTHER!"
"She's your mother…the one that saves you…"
"Serena is my mom?"
"She is… Serenity"
"Serenity is she…is she…she is SERENITY!"
"What can I do, how can I save her?"
"Why should we tell you? You hate her; yet love her…"
"Tell you…why…love her but hate her…"
"She's my mommy."
"And that's your reason! She would be better off where she is loved and appreciated."
"Better with love, this is your reason…"
"Darien needs her"
"Where was he when she needed him? "
"When she needed him, where was he?"
"Leave us…you are only thinking about yourself."
"Thinking of yourself, you are…"
"But my mommy will die in the future!"
"She will live, the question is, will you…"
"Will you live, that is the question?"
"Please help her."
"Children should be seen and not heard…"
"Heard and not seen…"
"Please help me save her!"
"Seen and not heard…"
"Heard and not seen…"
"SAVE SERENA!"
"She doesn't need saving…she is alive…in a place where she is appreciated…"
"Appreciated in a place where she doesn't need saving…"
"Leave us…"
Suddenly the hall grew dark and the two animal's bodies molded around each other until they formed a hideous creature that grew in size. The monster roared and began to chase her, Reeny then saw a bruised and battered Sailor Moon ahead of her hanging by her wrists from the ceiling. Reeny ran towards her and Serena looked up and stared at the child with pure black eyes with red pupils.
"You did this to me, you turned him against me, you lead the Dark Moon to me and now they have me and my crystal…now I can kill you!"
The ropes holding Serena loosened and she fell to the floor. When she stood she wore a tight leather catsuit with 5 inch heeled boots, her hair was down and adorned with black ribbons and around her neck was a dazzling diamond choker. On her forehead appeared the black crescent of the Dark Moon family. She brought her hands together over her head and shot out a stream of dark power that headed straight towards Reeny…
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Reeny woke up to see Darien frantically trying to wake her.
"Reeny it was just a dream, calm down you're ok."
"No Darien, it's our fault, it's all our fault that Serena's gone. All this time I was deceiving you, trying to play favorites because I didn't think she deserved you. Now they have her, the 'bad people' have her."
"How do you know?"
"They told me, the guardians told me."
"The guardians?"
"Mommy used to tell me about them, I never believed her, I thought they were just stories. She said they come in your dreams, they told me that Serena is where she is loved and appreciated. They told me that she is the one that will save us all…they told me…that she is the one I've been trying to save."

"Stealing my crystal to save your mother…"
Darien stared at the child in wonderment. 'Did she just say Serena is her mother?'
"Reeny, what is your mother's name?"
"Serenity…Neo-Queen Serenity. She was named after her mother that died back in the 10th century."
Darien's eyes went wide; he had to know the other probing question.
"Who is your father?"
"Endymion…they are King and Queen of Silver Alliance, Earth and Crystal Tokyo in the 30th century. Darien are you ok?"
"Yeah, I just found out I have a daughter."
"Huh?"
"I am Prince Endymion of the Golden Kingdom, Prince of the Earth; Serena is Serenity of the Lunar Kingdom and Supreme High Princess of the Silver Millennium."
"Da…daddy?"
"I guess so."
