Hey minna! Guess what? I've finally got my lazy self to sit on the computer and start typing. Aren't you glad? ^-^ *coughs* Anyway, please read and review this chapter and also my new fic, which is an LOTR/SM crossover (my very first! ^-^). I'll likely to get flames for this chapter though so flames are so graciously accepted.

Warnings: Some minor (and unmentioned major) curses.

Warriors of Light

Chapter two: Greater Power, Greater Evil

Ami stood up, her whole body shaking slightly. The Mercurian princess fixed her scared blue eyes on Serenity's silver-blue ones.

"I'm sorry Princess…I'm so sorry," she said, her voice choked the words as if she had something stuck in her throat.

'I'm really sorry. I couldn't help it. I admit I acted so stupid at that time,' thought Ami, regretting what happened the night she went to that wild party, her very first…and last one.

~ flashback ~

She knew it. She knew she was drunk…very drunk.

After taking another swing out of her beer, Ami surveyed the room and smiled. Everyone was having so much fun. They were either drinking and dancing or making out, some even did both at the same time.

The blue-haired girl took another gulp of her beer, the alcoholic liquid warmed the inside of her body as it traveled down to her stomach and bloodstream, giving her a cool soothing feeling despite the fact that the beer they served is warm and not chilled.

What Ami didn't noticed though was that almost very guy in the room had his eyes on her..well actually on her breasts.

Her outfit for the party consists of a pair of black leather high-heeled sandals and black leather pants that shows the shape of her buttocks fully. Her blue tube top is so tight that her breasts were forcedly pushed up and nearly popped out of the skimpy material. She didn't know why she wore it. It was the sort of clothes that only Rei and perhaps Minako would dare to wear.

She didn't know what actually drove her to do wear the outfit but she guessed that the naughty part of her mind had something to do with it. After all, its not like she wears this kind of clothes everyday. Heck, she didn't even think about wearing them before now which drove her to another question. Why?

Yes, why? She thought. Why had she worn this outfit in the first place? Why had she agreed to Mamoru that she'll come to one of his college friends' party? She didn't even know these people. They are in college after all and almost five or six years older than herself..

Speaking of Mamoru, where is he? She'd been waiting for him for about two hours and still he hadn't come.

Ami sighed. Well no use waiting for him even more, she was feeling kind of sleepy and wanted to go home. Fortunately, she had borrowed her mother's car, although she didn't say where she's going, so transportation wasn't a problem.

Ami sighed again and got up from her chair. She was about to head for the front door when suddenly a hand placed itself on her shoulders.

Suddenly alarmed, Ami wheeled around and breathe out a sigh of relief when she saw who it is.

"Mamoru-san, I didn't think you would get here. I was about to leave for I was tired of waiting for you," she said then blushed, mentally slapping herself for saying so rudely.

"Gomen," she added politely, her cheeks still tinted with red.

Mamoru gave a soft laugh, the kind of laugh that would make people laugh along with him. Now Ami knew why Usagi was so crazy about him. He had the kind of charm that could melt every woman's heart like butter.

"No need to apologize. In fact, I should be the one to do that," said Mamoru and flashed his perfect smile at the blue-haired girl.

Looking up and down the blue-eyed girl slowly, he added. "Nice outfit by the way. I didn't know you were the type to dress up in these kinds of clothes,"

If possible, Ami blush turned redder at Mamoru's complement. She was about to reply when suddenly a bolt of pain shot through her head and she clenched it in agony.

"Oww…my head hurts," she muttered.

Mamoru laughed again. "Well you shouldn't have drank so much in the first place,"

Placing a comforting arm around her shoulders, he added. "Come'on, I'll take you back to your house. I don't think you're fitted to drive right now,"

"But..my mother's car…" started Ami.

"Don't worry. I'll tell David to have it towed to my apartment's garage so you can have it back tomorrow when you girls will come over to my apartment for the Meeting okay?" said Mamoru, his voice assuring.

Ami could do nothing but simply nodded her head and let Mamoru guide her out of the house and into his awaiting car. Her vision was so blurred at that time that she didn't even noticed Mamoru pulling up on driveway of his apartment and carrying her upstairs to his bedroom…

~ end flashback ~

'Until it was too late that is,' thought Ami bitterly, remembering how Mamoru took advantaged of her drunkenness and raped her. She had lost her virginity, the one thing she cherished and fought so hard to keep sacred, although she lost in the end though. She simply wasn't strong enough to over power Mamoru.

Ami felt tears starting to come down from her eyes and blinked, resulting in tiny drops of salty tears running slowly down to her cheeks as she remembered what Mamoru said afterwards that night.

~ flashback ~

"If you breathe a single word of this to anyone, especially to Usako, I'll do it to you again and again and then I'll kill you," said Mamoru huskily as he slid off of her and picked up and buttoned his pants that were thrown on the floor.

A blood-and-tear soaked Ami could do nothing but nodded her head in agreement.

"That's a good girl," said Mamoru as he reached down to slap Ami's inner thigh.

"Maybe I'll even do it again. Come over here to my apartment say about next week?" said Mamoru, a devious smile on his face.

~ end flashback ~

Ami wiped her fallen tears away with the back of her hand, hoping that no one had noticed her action. Since that day, she had to lie at her parents and practically couldn't stand it when Usagi and Mamoru kissed or hugged. She had become one of Mamoru's whores and had been forced to enjoy it but most of all, she had been forced to make fun of Usagi's mistakes whenever the blonde girl is within out of earshot. Oh how she hated how her life had turned out to be what it is now.

Unluckily…rather fortunately for her, Makoto and the Outers noticed her tears and the brush of her hand against them.

'Why is she crying?' thought Makoto and the Outers at the same time. They didn't voice out it out of course for. Although Ami had betrayed the Princess, they couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. They don't know why though.

'Still, I wondered if Luna, Artemis and Sere-chan saw it,' thought Makoto, glancing at the cats, Serenity and the one they called Celeste who was still hovering up in the air.

'I wonder how she did that,' thought Makoto, suddenly interested.

'It's part of her powers,' came Artemis' voice inside the Jupiterian princess mind.

Makoto nearly jumped in surprise at the sound of Artemis' clam voice.

'Don't ever do that again! You almost made me jump into the air,' said Makoto to Artemis telepathically, giving the white cat beside her an angry glare.

'Almost..' said Artemis and Makoto could have sworn that the cat was mentally chuckling, even though she couldn't fully hear it to be sure.

'Why you..' started Makoto but was interrupted when Serenity suddenly smiled at Ami (although the blue-haired girl couldn't see it), not one of hatred and iciness but a genuine Usagi smile, friendly and warm.

"I forgive you," said Serenity plainly.

Ami, who was staring at the floor during the whole Makoto and Artemis had their conversation, suddenly shot up her head and stared into the Moon Princess' eyes.

"Honto?" she asked, her hopes went up a little as she saw the smile on Serenity's lips.

Serenity nodded her head.

"Hai," she said.

"Ami! Why the hell did you ask for her forgiveness?" exclaimed Rei, her voice full of fury. "You f****** b****! You betrayed us…you're a disgrace to the Inner Senshi Circle!"

Rei was about to say more but Celeste cut her by throwing another light arrow, this time it was colored silverish-white and it pierced the Senshi of Mar's delicate skin of her inner arm, drawing a small river of blood.

Rei let out a yell of pain and surprise and started shouting out more harsh and deeper-meaning curses that even Haruka blushed as she and Michiru covered Hotaru's ears, preventing the twelve-year-old to hear anything.

"You baka! Now look what you did!" exclaimed Rei, glancing at the bloody wound vertically crossed in her arm. "And you call yourself Endy's sister!"

Celeste simply rolled her eyes. "Its only skin-deep,"

"Besides," she added dully and loudly. "You deserved more than that. Just be glad that I don't want to waste much of my energy on you. With one snap of my fingers, you would have been killed instantly but I resisted it even though I'm sorely tempted. Now apologize to Ami and take back the words that you've said to her,"

"What words?" asked Hotaru, who had by this time, managed to pry her 'parents' hands away from her ears. Her wide dark purple eyes filled with child-like curiosity.

Haruka and Michiru blushed as Celeste, Setsuna, Makoto, Ami, Serenity and the cats covered their mouths, trying unsuccessfully to hide their giggles as they wondered what the couple would do to get them out of their predicament.

Rei however, didn't find the situation very funny and said. "Give me one good reason why I should,"

"Because I'll kill you, with Sere's permission of course, if you don't." replied Celeste. "And trust me, you don't want to make me do that. If I should kill you, I would make it slow and painful. So painful that you'd wished that you had died already."

Her tone was icy cold as were her eyes which had began to turn from dark violet to bright amber and quickly returned to their original dark violet color, almost as if the change hadn't even happened.

Rei visibly shuddered but inside she was boiling mad with anger.

'Who does she think she is? Acting as if she's the Queen of Earth..' thought Rei.

"Well since I am the Queen of Earth, or future queen rather, I think my answer would be yes," said Celeste.

The silver-haired girl couldn't help but smirked as Rei gave a surprised jump.

"Nani? You can here me?" asked Rei, suddenly feeling very queasy and nervous.

"Yeah, although your thoughts aren't exactly..how shall I say this..nice," answered Celeste, her smirk grew widen as Rei face expression turned into what one can see as horror and at the same time, amazement.

"Demo..even I can't do that," said Rei as jealousy started to creep over her. "Not even with the Scared Fire."

"Course you can't," said Celeste. "Only those who are loyal to the Moon Alliance and the Earth can do it, which is how Serenity decided to forgive Ami and Makoto, even before they said their forgiveness or, in Makoto's case, proved her loyalty,"

"Nice slap by the way Mako-chan," complemented Celeste as she turned to glance at the Senshi of Jupiter. "'Though you should've punched her hard in the gut instead,"

Makoto gave a huge grin. "Thanks Celeste. Don't worry, I'll do just that next time,"

Celeste grinned back and gave her the victory sign.

"Hey! That's my act!" exclaimed Minako suddenly, making the others aware that she was in the room also. Since their appearance, Minako had suddenly become deathly quiet and listened to their conversation politely although she was also boiling with anger inside.

"How so?" asked Celeste, glaring at the self-proclaimed Goddess of Love and Beauty.

"Because I've been doing that since I was a child, even before I became a senshi," retorted Minako, returning Celeste's glare with one of her own.

"And your point is?" replied Celeste, a bored look on her face.

Minako went silent. Her brain worked overload to think of a smart comeback but failed.

"I thought so," said Celeste.

Turning around to face Serenity, Celeste politely bowed her head.

"Hello Princess Serenity," she said. "As you may have heard, I'm Princess Celeste of the Earth Kingdom, although you may not have heard of me before,"

Serenity shook her head, smiling. "Iie, demo Luna did mentioned to me this morning that you're the rightful heir to the Earth throne."

Serenity paused for a while, biting her lower lip. "What I don't understand is why Endymion's not the heir, as he is the oldest for you two and therefore the first-born,"

Celeste looked at the Moon Princess in bewilderment before she suddenly chuckled.

"You of all people should that the first born princess of every planet will be the future heir to the throne. Just because Earth isn't included in the Moon Alliance doesn't mean that our people don't follow some of your planets' traditions."

"Are you insulting the Princess!?" exclaimed Minako, her face had turned red with rage, although they could see that it was fake.

The dragon perched on Celeste's shoulder growled at the blonde-haired girl. Its pure silver eyes seemed to blaze with annoyance as it flared its nostrils, making small puffs of violet smoke.

Celeste calmly reached a hand up to the small dragon and gently stroked its head with one of her fingers.

"Now, now Tsuyu." said Celeste in a half-crooning voice and continued to stroke the dragon's head.

Tsuyu let out another puff of violet smoke for the last time before it finally clamed down.

"Gomen Tsuchi-hime," apologized the tiny dragon.

Celeste smiled. "Its alright," she said before her smile turned into a teasingly frown as she added, "And don't call me Tsuchi-hime! My name's Celeste, so use it."

Minako coughed. "I hate to break this touching moment but…did that dragon just talked?!"

Everyone in the room rolled their eyes, except for Mamoru who was still unconscious.

"Duh…" said Rei, "You shouldn't be so surprised Minako-baka. It isn't as if this is the firs time you heard an animal talk. You have a talking cat for Kami-sama's sake!"

"Don't call me a baka you Pryo!" shouted Minako.

"And don't call me Pryo, you b****!" yelled Rei.

Everyone (except Mamoru) sweatdropped as they watched Minako and Rei throwing punches and kicks at each other.

Serenity let out a sigh of despair. "Shouldn't we stop them?" she asked to everyone.

Haruka shook her head. "I really don't care if they stop or not. Besides, why should we?"

"Good point,"

Michiru turned to glanced at Serenity. "So are you going to take their powers?" she asked.

Serenity turned to look at the Senshi of Neptune. "I already did," she replied. "I've already known that Minako will always side with Rei and Mamoru-baka so I took their powers while she and Celeste were talking,"

"Demo," said Haruka. "Even without their powers, they'll still be able to transform because of their transformation rods ne?"

Celeste, who had decided to land finally in solid ground, heard their conversation and said, "That's right demo you forgot that Serenity already has Rei's transformation rod and that I have the Golden Crystal,"

"But what about Minako's?" asked Makoto.

"Minako's transformation rod is faked," answered Celeste.

"What?!" exclaimed the others, except for Tsuyu and the two fighting senshi (AN: or rather ex-senshis).

" Queen Aprodite, Minako's mother, suspected her daughter's sinful actions during the Silver Millennium and gave to Queen Selenity the imposter duplicate of the real Venus transformation rod, with her Highness' knowledge of course, and in turn, gave the rod to Artemis. However, the Queen hadn't warned Artemis about this for she wanted to see if Minako will perhaps changed her ways and become truthfully loyal to Serenity,"

"Demo, how can Minako become Sailor Venus if the transformation rod is a fake?" asked Setsuna.

"The imposter rod is made to look like the real one right? So in order for that to be accomplished, Aprodite-sama put a special device in the rod to channel Minako's Venus powers into it and therefore, making her transform. Without the device, Minako can't generate her power through the rod which would have enabled her to transform," answered Celeste.

The silver-haired girl waved her hand and a small crystal-like gem appeared in her open palm. She then held it up so that everyone could see.

"See?" she said. "This gem is the device that enables Minako to transform. Since this is placed inside the rod, Minako won't be able to notice the change until she uses the rod."

"Now I see," said Serenity. "So this gem also enables the rest of the Inners to transform ne?"

Celeste shook her head. "Iie. You see, this gem can only be found in Venus and thus, can only be used to the royals of that planet, which is why Rei's rod must be taken away from her unlike Minako's. The same goes for Ami and Makoto if ever they betrayed the Princess, which I highly doubted back in the Silver Millennium and even up to now."

"What about the Golden Crystal? I thought it could only respond to those who it had decided to choose as its keeper," asked Luna.

"That's true," replied Celeste. "However, what you don't know is that Endymion cast some dark spell over it to make it think that Endymion is its chosen keeper,"

"What kind of spell would be strong enough even to make one of the mightiest crystals in the universe to forget its master?" asked Artemis.

"One that is mixed with the evilness of the Negaverse and the goodness of the Earth Kingdom," answered Celeste.

"So the rumors are true that Endymion sided with the darkness back at the Silver Millennium," said Serenity.

"Hai," replied Celeste.

"If the Golden Crystal is under a spell, then why had it accepted you so quickly? Seeing as how it had forgotten its mistress," asked Hotaru.

"The spell Endymion cast on it was broken when you were all reincarnated here on Earth, except for Pluto that is," replied Celeste. "Making it remember its rightful keeper,"

"Then why did the Golden Crystal continue to obey Mamoru?" asked Haruka.

"The Crystal thought I wasn't reborn with the rest of you since it hadn't been able to sense me until recently when I had moved into Tokyo. Did you ever noticed that it wouldn't obey Endymion's orders a few weeks ago when he wanted to transform into Tuxedo Karmen or when he wanted something from it?" asked Celeste.

Everyone nodded their heads, remembering the time they fought the youma at one of the parks in Tokyo a few days ago and Mamoru wasn't present because he couldn't transform.

"Hai, he thought it was broken or had lost its powers or something," said Makoto.

"That's a laugh," replied Celeste. "The Golden Crystal could never be broken, no matter how hard someone tries to destroy it. However its powers can be cancelled if someone uses it for evil, which is why Endymion never uses it for his evil purposes."

"Cancelled?" asked Hotaru, raising a delicate eyebrow.

"It'll become just an ordinary crystal, like one used for decorations, until it is reclaimed back by its rightful possessor. Luckily Endymion didn't know about this part of the Crystal which I am most thankful for," explained Celeste.

"Sugoi…"

Celeste nodded her head. "Hai. It is, isn't it?"

Tsuyu let out a cough that caught everyone's attention (except the two Inner senshi whom are still fighting and Mamoru who's still unconscious).

"Tsch..umm Celeste, shouldn't you be telling Serenity something important?" asked the tiny dragon.

"Oh yeah," said Celeste, realization finally hit her.

Glancing at Serenity, she added, "Serenity, the reason that I had told Luna to tell you to act your true self is because a great danger has risen again in this world."

"Chaos …" muttered Ami.

"Iie," replied Celeste, shaking her head sadly. "I wish it was him though, for the evil we'll encounter is far more greater and far more eviler than he ever could be…"

"Who is it? Who could possibly be far more stronger than Chaos?" asked Serenity.

"Voldermort a.k.a. Tom Riddle."

Sakura: Oh yes! It's another cliffy! (I think..) Aren't I just pure evil.

*Mamoru and Minako appeared next to Sakura*

Mamoru: *eyes wide* Why did you made me unconsious for two whole chapters!

Minako: Why did you gave me a small role! Hello! I'm the actress here!

Sakura: *rolls eyes* This is a fanfic you know, not a movie! And Mamo-baka, if you hadn't even taken up the time to actually read the whole chapter, I just gave you a complement! So shut up!

Mamoru: *in a husky voice* So you like me then?

Sakura: Absolutely not! I just felt sorry for you and decided to give you a complement or two, that's all! *takes out her trusty mallet and whammed it right on top of Mamo-baka's head, rendering him unconscious…again*

Sakura: *faces Minako who had been blabbering nonsense about unfairness and stupid authors* And you'll get the same treatment if you don't shut up.

Minako: *shuts up*

Third, I like Minako, she's full of fun and laughter but I had to make Rei at least have one comrade on the Inner Circle. So gomen to you loyal Minako fans…

Fourth, I HATE MAMORU JUST AS MUCH AS I HATE REI AND CHIBI-USA! CHIBI-USA'S NOTHING BUT A SPOILED BRAT AND I HATE HER VERY SINCE SHE FIRST APPEARED ON SM!!
