A/N ~ How did ya like the last chap.? This chapter involves them meeting Valsoul hinself. Or just for a mere five minutes. But for Serenity and Yami is more than that. Also Helious and Chibi Moon. Is Amethysia starting to get human emotions? That could lead to trouble.

Ch. 21 ~ Meeting the Dark Lord Himself

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

Silence was in the air. No one spoked a word. Everyone was dotted- eyed. They were staring at the thing they were standing on.

" This is totally ridiculous! We're standing on a stupid teensy cloud! " said Chibi Moon indignantly as she used her pointer finger to point downward.

It was true. Each of them were standing on a small piece cloud that could barely hold them together.

" I don't think this is one of any of our elements. Part of it is Uranus' though"said Sailor Moon sweatdropping.

" It could be because all of the eight planetarian senshis have battled already."said Mercury.

" Except Usagi-mama and I "said Chibi Moon.

" I have a feeling that Valsoul wants to fight Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon himself."said Mars.

" Obviously"inquired Jupiter.

" So.....? How do we get out of here?"asked Anzu.

" Not a single idea "said everyone else in unison.

" Well,we are in the sky right now. Why ........ don't we fly out of here?"asked Sailor Moon.

" Usagi-chan,you,the other senshis,Helious can fly but we can't."said Shizuhu meaning her,Anzu and the guys.

" Oh,that's right,"said Sailor Moon sweatdropping.

" How could that've slipped your mind "said Mars sighing in disbelief.

" Hey! It's not my fault! "said Sailor Moon.

" They can't fly but they can levitate."said Mercury solving the problem.

" Oh,dat's right. Forgot."said Jou.

" On three we jump and fly or levitate. THREE! "cried Honda already jumping down. The others followed suit.

They all landed on grassy land with a plain blue sky.

" What happene' ta one and two ! "demanded Jou.

Before Honda can answer a black portal appeared with red lightning crackling around it.

Someone emerged out of the portal and stepped into the light.

It was none other than the second general herself,Amethysia.

" What do you want this time,Amethysia?"asked Yami.

" I'm not here to fight. Lord Valsoul has personally asked me to invite you to meeting him. But the two princesses,the pharaoh,and the gauradian of the golden crystal will be talking to him personally"said Amethysia.

" Where will the rest of us be then?"asked Uranus.

" Oh,we'll have something for you to do"said Amethysia" Follow me "

" We shouldn't follow Usagi-sama. This could be a trap"warned Helious.

" It might be. But we'll never find out what he really wants. He hasn't reveal his real plan yet. I'm sure of it"said Sailor Moon as she followed Amethysia into the deadly portal. Then Yami followed.

They had to go with them but that's a big risk. Unfortunely,they've got no other option. So they followed in reluctantly.

* * * * * Valsoul's Courtroom * * * * * *

Sailor Moon had closed her eyes while entering the portal. She reopened them to see that she was in an eerie room with a dark aura in the air. The others came through the portal after her. ' So they did come for me'thought Sailor Moon.

" I'm very glad that you could make it Sailor Senshis and Followers of the Pharaoh." spoked a voice through the darkness. Amethysia had disapperaed already so it couldn't be her.

" You're... Valsoul,aren't you ?"asked Mars as she concentrated on the dark vibe that is surrounded by a figure.

The darkness cleared off as light was lit up in the room one by one.

Everyone gasped as Valsoul appeared out of the darkness.

He had black hair and cold,unfeeling hazel eyes. He looked to be around mid thirties. He had on a black and grey armor of some sort. He had on a black cape. But the most distinctive part about him was the mark on his forehead was the cresent moon,the mark of the Lunarian family.

" You're........" said Sailor Moon wavering her voice as she held her pointer finger at him.

" Lunarian? That's right.Half to be exact. That's why my mark is black while yours is golden,my neice"said Valsoul.

The last word struck them all except Valsoul. Did he just call Sailor Moon his neice ? But it strucked Sailor Moon more than the others.It strickened them all.

' How can he be my uncle? 'thought Sailor Moon.

Valsoul heard her thoughts. " I will explain after your friends leave "said Valsoul as he snapped his finger. A portal appeared instantly. A strong wind came behind the others and started to suck them in!

It had sucked everyone in much to the screaming. Everyone except Sailor Moon ,Yami,Helious,Chibi Moon, and Valsoul.

" Start explaining now"demanded Sailor Moon angerily. He had sucked her friends to an unknown plave who knows where.

" When I say half means,I'm your half uncle. Meaning your mother is my half cousin. Your mother and I were betroth when we were born."said Valsoul.

" That is disgusting! You were cousins! You had to get married with my grandmother. Won't that make you my great-uncle?"said Chibi Moon with a disgusted look on her face.

" Chibi Moon,in ancient times,royal people even had their children to get marry to keep the royal blood line "explained Yami as Sailor Moon nodded agreeing.

" Oh,so it was normal. I didn't know that"said Chibi Moon having a sheepish smile on her face.

" Yes,it would make you my great-neice. But that isn't important. I had been glad for the idea because I was in love with your mother but however,Serenity thinked otherwise. She was horrifed of it when her parents told her when she was ten."said Valsoul.

" Good for you,"said sailor Moon and Chibi Moon in unison making Yami and Helious sweatdropped.

Valsoul sneered. " If it weren't for your blasted father meeting Serenity. You wouldn't be born"said Valsoul," Your mother could find someone she wants to marry and cancel the engagement."

" Then,hooray for my father. If my mother married you,she'll be unhappy for the rest of her life.So I'm glad my father married her"said Sailor Moon unenthusiastically.

" But it'll be different now. I've got your mother's corspe right here and I'll revive her to turn her on my side."said Valsoul.

" But you won't succeed"said Yami.

" Your side of thinking"said Valsoul.

" One more question. I remember the Moon Kingdom correctly but I never recall you being there at all"said Sailor Moon quirking an eyebrow at him.

" It's true. You've never seen me because your grandfather ban me from the Solar System. So then,I made my own world to live in."said Valsoul.

" That explains it"said Sailor Moon.

" That's enough secrets to be revealed. Why don't I bring out your mother"said Valsul as he snapped his fingers and magically,the late Queen Serenity appeared sleeping in a total crystal bed.

Sailor Moon gasped at her mother's appearance. Queen Serenity looked the same when she died on the rubbles of the Moon Kingdom but her skin were beautiful white peach color. They had a faint hint of a gray hue to it from being lying in space for more that a thousand years.

Valsoul chuckled and smiled.

" Yes,it is a surprise to see her here,isn't it?"said Valsoul.

" Have you ever wonder why I had my minions battle you and your senshis? Why hadn't I destroy you when I sent out Aquarius and Amethysia,you might think? Well,there's a reason."said Valsoul as he snapped his fingers once more and eight materials appeared.

Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon gasped as they saw it.

It was a crystal form shape of the symbols of the eight planetarian Sailor Senshis!

" You see,it's quite easy to figure out actually. Even the Mercurian princess couldn't figure it out."said Valsoul as he chuckled evily. " I've been asorbing their energy from the beginning"

" I had my susipion about you from the beginning. You couldn't had let the senshis off that easily if they had killed some of your generals"said Helious.

Realization also hit Chibi Moon.

" You had your generals to battle the senshis to their highest level so you can collect their high leveled powers to help restore my grandmother "said Chibi Moon explaining pretty much the whole thing.

" Your other generals didn't know about this except Aquarius and Amethysia,right?"said Sailor Moon.

" You knew that your lower generals would love to destroy us and will be reckless so you only told Amethysia and Aquarius because you knew that they can control themselves."said Yami explaining the last part.

Valsoul crackled. " I didn't think you were this intelligent to finally figure it out. But yes,everything you've stated are correct"said Valsoul as he smirked.

" You've forgotten something,Valsoul. Even if you do turn my mother evil,I'll still be able to turn her back to good with my crystal."said Sailor Moon.

" Yes,that may be true but that is why I'm taking your powers and your daughter's also."he said as his hand turning a glowing green and he started to walk towards Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon.

Every step he walks,the green light grew brighter.

Sailor Moon realized that she was weakening by the glow of the mesmerizing glow. She groaned all of a sudden and dropped like a dead weight on the cold marble floor.

" Mama,"called Chibi Moon's weak voice. She, like Sailor Moon,had also fallen to the power of the powerful glow. Yami and Helious stepped up to help them up but they winced and started to stagger. Their whole body began to separate apart. They looked up at Valsoul. He was smiling the evil smile meaning.'I'm-stronger-so-I-win.-You-can't-do-anything-about-it'

Their body got absorbed bit by bit into Valsoul's amulet which had wind tunneled them in.(Remember in Series 1 of the episode,The Past Returns when Queen Serenity sucked everyone in the Ginzuishou,well,Yami and Helious got sucked in just like that.)

" No. Yami,Helious "croaked Chibi Moon as her throat got more scratchy from energy loss.

" Hold on,Rini. We have to stay alive"said Sailor Moon also very weak and in the condition of going unconsious.

" I can't."said Chibi Moon as her eyelids drooped down and her voice got quieter.

" Not you too,Rini"said Sailor Moon.

With all of the energy she could muster,she glared at Valsoul.

" I hate you. But I guess that's an understatement. You ruined my life. Rini's dying,Helious and Yami are trapped in your f***ing amulet. The others are who knows where. You've got my mother's corspe.You would want to kill me right now."said Sailor Moon still glaring at him intently.

" Yes,I'm not surprise that you do dislike me. But with your energy and your daughter's energy,I'll be able to resurrect Serenity."said Valsoul holding up two crystalize form cresent moons. It contained their energies.

" Now watch as I turn your mother against you."said Valsoul as he muttered an incantation from a mystical language.

All of the crystalize form insignias glowed and began spinning above Queen Serenity's corspe.She began to float in the air and the gray hue on her body started to disinegrate.

Her normal skin complexion began showing once more.

" Now to add the final touch."said Valsoul as he sent a green beam from his amulet to the ring of insignias.

As the beam began to blend into with the crystal insignias,Serenity's cresent moon began to turn black but not upside down though.

The ritual stopped and Queen Serenity's corspe or ex-corspe landed on the bed.

" Mother,"said Sailor Moon.

Magically,Serenity's eyelids started to move. Sailor Moon gasped as Serenity opened her eyes after a thousand years of sleep.
