Chapter name, Aris's plan foiled for now.

Sailor Saturn stood in the window huffing. Aris stared at her and then looked to the princess. Serenity was hovering in the air, with Saturn's staff neck to her emanating with power.

"Sailor Saturn, you always were, the only one who could ever surprise me! Of all the Sailor Scouts, you are the only one, with more powers and tricks then anyone knows of. See ya soon and prepare for your end!" Aris disappeared and Lyf fell to her knees clutching her wound, in the other hand she clutch a small round object. Darien jumped through the window and took Serenity into his arms and hugged her.

"Oh Serenity!" He put his face in her hair and clutched her tightly. Saturn held out her hand and her staff floated to her. Sailor Uranus walked over to her and ripped her from the windowsill.

"This is all your fault, had you not decided to escort those men, she would be awake and safe!" Sailor Uranus spat in her calm face. Her staff disappeared and she clutched Sailor Uranus wrists and wrenched herself free, landing on her feet.

"It is your duty as well as the others to protect our princess, not just mine, so before you go placing the blame on me, think about what you could have done!" Sailor Saturn said calmly before she walked over to Endymion.

"Come Endymion, we must place the princess in bed and hope she wakes up soon!" She said sadly to him. He brought his face up and looked Sailor Saturn in the eyes. Sailor Saturn stepped back in shock. Endymion's eyes were filled with rage.

"The person who did this will pay dearly!" Endymion growled. Saturn bowed her head.

"Please Endymion let us worry more about the princess, she may not live!" Sailor Saturn said regretfully. Endymion's eyes soften and his gaze went to Serenity, whom he cradled in his arms. Sailor Saturn looked up and smiled softly, then motioned for him to follow her. As they came to the door Sailor Saturn stopped and turned to face the other two Sailor's and the maid.

"Please help Lyf, she will need your attention. The doctor is an imposter at the moment and you Sailor Neptune are the best next to Sailor Mercury. So please!" She begged. Sailor Neptune smiled softly and nodded her head in agreement, then walked over to Lyf. And checked the wound. Saturn then looked at Sailor Uranus, with a pleading look.

"Please send the word out that the royal ball will be postponed until the queen and Princess Serenity are well again." Sailor Uranus glared at Endymion but nodded her head in agreement. "By the way if any harm comes to Prince Endymion or any of his companions you will receive an audience with me followed by the princess herself!" Added Saturn as she began moving through the door. Endymion lingered a moment and looked at the two Sailor Scouts before he bowed his head in thanks and followed Sailor Saturn.

Queen Selenity awoke in the dungeon where she had been placed a few hours ago. She could sense that her daughter was fighting for her life. The silver Crystal was with the enemy and Serenity would soon die if the crystal was not returned. Selenity tried to move and felt the chains around her waist, wrists and ankles. 'The scouts will never find me!' She sighed heavily and pulled on the chains trying to see if any of them would break due to the rust that had formed. She sighed as she gave up, only to watch all the torches that had been lit began to go out.

_-_-_-_

Endymion sat in a chair next to Serenity's bed. He held one of her hands in his. Saturn watched from the door as all of Endymion's focus was on Serenity. Mace came up behind Sailor Saturn and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"We will find the queen soon!" He said. Sailor Saturn then closed the princess's door and turned to Mace. She looked defeated for the first time he had known her.

"The Imperium Silver Crystal was taken by Aris!" She stated even more worried then before.

"How do you know this?" He asked holding back the urge to bring her into his arms.

"Because when I saw her I thought it was the queen. I have always been able to feel the queen and Serenity, but today I did not feel any difference in the queen, because Aris took the crystal. That crystal is what supports the life of this family and if it is not returned, then Princess Serenity will not live to see another sun rise." Saturn spoke as she paced in the hall.

"Sailor Saturn, Hotaru! You cannot do everything by yourself! That is why there are other scouts." He said.

"I am the only one besides the unknown sailor to be able to sense the queen and the Princess, the newest of the four are leaning but it will take many years for them to fully tap into that power. As for Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune they are guardians of the entire Solar System and have learned, to protect the queen they must defeat evil before it comes into the Solar System. They will never learn this power and for them being isolated they have become rather dependent on me to protect the queen."

Mace was about to say something when Serenity's door open and Endymion stepped out. He looked worried, but rushed right passed Sailor Saturn and Mace. They followed quickly. Endymion reached a place in the palace that no one ever dared to go to, sailor Saturn reached out her hand and stopped him. He looked to her glared and wrenched his hand free. He then walked down the stairs that led to the unused dungeons.

"Shall we follow him?" Asked Mace

"I don't have a choice, I must protect his as I do my princess." Sailor Saturn said smiling a little. She then made her staff appear and ran down the stairs in pursuit of Endymion. Mace walked back to the princess's door and guarded it.

_-_-_-_

Endymion didn't know what was going on but he felt a life force in the dungeon and could no longer ignore it. Ever since he had entered the palace he could feel the life force slowly getting weaker. He kissed Serenity's lips, then her hand and left the room. He began to worry about his love, but he had to find out why there was someone below them. He had been told that the peaceful queen never used the dungeon. But for some reason he felt the presences of someone he knew. He rushed out of the room ignoring the tow that stood in the hallway. He guesses his way through the palace and found the steps, which led down to the dungeon, in no time. He began to move down them and someone grabbed his arm and stopped him. He looked back and glared at them not caring who it was, and then he wrenched his arm free and quickly went down the stairs.

When he reached the bottom of the stairs he couldn't see anything. He felt along the wall and found a wooden torch felt as if it had been recently lit. A light appeared behind him and he turned around to find Sailor Saturn holding her staff that emanated a small purple light.

"I thought you might need a light prince Endymion! This room has never been lit." She stopped when she saw the top of the torch was black. "Some one has been down here. But who? All the servants and visitors are afraid to come down here."

"I'm not sure but ever since I entered the palace after the fight with Aris I have felt a presence down here, some one I know but have yet to meet. I can not explain it, I just know there is someone down here." He said a little unsure of himself.

"Very well lets move, I only have a little power in me left and this light will not last forever." She said. Endymion agreed and ran in the direction that he felt the person was in.

_-_-_-_

Lyf fell to her knees as soon as Aris disappeared, and picked up a small round object she had dropped. She clutched her wounded shoulder and held onto the small object with the other. Sailor Neptune came over and examined her wound. She grabbed some bandages and was about to wrap it when Lyf stopped her.

"First you have to put some antiseptic on it, then you wrap it. If you do not then it will become infected and I will lose my arm." She said through clutched teeth. Sailor Neptune put the bandage down, stood up and looked for antiseptic. "It's in a blue bottle next to the bandages." Lyf stated not even bothering to look at Sailor Neptune. Sailor Neptune then returned with the bottle and some gauze.

"What do I do? I've never actually used any of this stuff, I have always relied on the doctor, you, Sailor Mercury and the princess to heal people." She admitted.

"Open the bottle, cover the opening with the gauze and turn the bottle upside down quickly, then place the bottle in the upright position and take the gauze off. The gauze should be wet in a small area. Okay place it on the wound." Lyf gritted her teeth as the gauze was paced on her wound. "The gauze should stay on, now let it go and pick up the bandage." Sailor Neptune did as instructed. "Place the end of the bandage under my arm about were my armpit is..." She paused as Sailor Neptune did so, "Then wrap it around my shoulder and under my arm." She did so, "Now wrap it around my arm a little and come over my shoulder until I say stop. Sailor Neptune did as instructed and stopped when she was told to. The she cut the bandage and placed a piece of tape over the loose end. "Thank you Sailor Neptune." She called as she ran out the door. She ran to princess Serenity's room and found that Mace was the only one around. He leaned against the doorframe with his eyes closed

"Have you seen Sailor Saturn?" Mace jumped and drew his sword quickly and placed it's tip againt Lyf's throat. She just stood there, when he reliazed who it was he put he sword away and apologized.

"Sorry!" He muttered. "Now what do you want?" he asked grumpily.

"Aren't you a bag of happiness!" She said sarcasticly. "Have you seen Sailor Saturn?"

"She's in the dugeon with Prince Endymion." He said as he closed his eyes.

"What a nice to place to go to be alone!" Lyf said sarcasticly trying to make Mace jeulous. His eyes popped open and he glared at Lyf.

"Grrrrr, leave!" He growled. Lyf laughed and took off toward the dungeon. He shoulder hurt but she ignored it and ran down the stairs. When she reached the bottom she almost fell on her face, but caught herself. Everything was dark and she couldn't see anything. She frowned and the round object she held in her hand began to get warm. She opened her hand the object glowed a brilliant white and began to float in the air. Lyf was shocked and looked at it in awe. The shinny object then floated away quickly and she ran after it.

_-_-_-_

Endymion and Sailor Saturn had been walking in the dungeon for about 30 mins now and Sailor Saturn's strength was leaving her. The light was slowly getting dimmer. Endymion looked back at her and sighed.

"Do you wish to take a break? You look esauted." He stated simply. HE then looked away from her and sighed heavily.

"Do not worry my Prince, the princess will survive, she after does after all have something to live for more then anything." Sailor Saturn tried to convince herself and the prince.

"I'm not your prince!" He said sadly. Sailor Saturn looked at him and smiled.

"You are my prince! The princess is in love with you and so therefore for her I must protect you as I would her, but you are also a friend and I could not let anything happen to you. So please allow me to call you my prince as I call Serenity my princess." She asked. Endymion was about to answer when a small object of light flew by. Endymion stood up and followed it. Sailor Saturn looked shocked and stood up, as she did so a small body crashed into her. Sailor Saturn turned around to find Lyf. Sailor Saturn smiled as her Staff's light grew as bright as it once had been.

"Where did you find the Silver Crystal?" Sailor Saturn asked as she held out her hand. Lyf took it and Sailor Saturn pulled her to her feet with ease.

"Aris dropped it when she changed to her original form!" I didn't know what it was because no servant had ever seen it. I was looking for it to give it to you, but when I came down here it began to glow and burn my hands. I opened my hands and it began to float then it began to float away ad I followed it.

"Thank you Lyf, you have just saved the queen's and the princess's life!" Sailor Saturn spoke happily as she pulled the girl into a hug. Lyf fought and pushed her away.

"Where is it headed?" She asked more concerned about that than anything,

"It is leading Endymion to the queen! Aris has placed her down here in hopes of sealing the fate of the Royal family, but she failed to recall something she learned when she was young. Come let us follow it as well." Sailor Saturn began to run in the direction it had led and Lyf followed.

Well everyone I finally found time to write. Actually I had major writers block and didn't know how this would go. I began writing it yesterday and that was about the 25th time I had started it, but now it is finished I just need to know what you think and if thinks moved to fast. I'm in the process of trying to update my Other fic on fiction press. It hhas been almost a year since I updated that one and I had major writers block on it. I have th first part of that chapter written and am working on the second half. Any way I apologize for the long wait and The Deamon and Angel will be updated after my original fic. If anyone is interested in read my original let me know. It's about some four knights of Legend that come to save the king when the rebel army attacks. They are two females and two males. But it is also said in the legend that if love blooms between the knights that the king will die and the world will fall to the rebels. There is a long way to go with it but I think it is pretty good. It's call Comic Knights, I'm in the process of figuring out a new name, cause that one doesn't fit. Any way I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I no longer have a person reading it before I post cause I don't know what happened to them. If you're still reading let me know if you are still interested in reading it before I post.

Steel. Please read and review. And thank you to all who have read.
