Back in Tokyo Serena and Sapphire were walking down the road towards
Diamond's apartment. The night before Sapphire had told Serena all about
how he was putting in the fake crystal when Wiseman caught him in the act
and attempted to kill him. He had made it out in one piece even if he was
wounded and made his way back to Tokyo of the 20th century. Using her
negative energy supplied by the part of the core she possessed she was able
to heal Sapphire and they were now on their way to Diamond's. It was time
that they all sat down and figured out a way to stop Wiseman once and for
all. He had warped their plans from day one.
"How much farther do we have to go Serena."
"Not that far, he lived on the other side of town so we have to catch the bus. I don't think its wise warping anywhere. Wiseman probably has someone trailing us."
"Yeah, have you talked to Diamond yet?"
"I sent him a telepathic message saying we were on our way over. He didn't say anything. I felt a lot of regret though."
"I never wanted him to get hurt by this. I was doing this to make sure he had his dream at least. We weren't always like this you know. We used to live on the dark side of the moon during the silver millennium. That was when your mother ruled, it was a time of great peace or so I have been told. After the Negaverse attacked some survivors, my parents included, tried to make a life out of the dead moon but it was useless. By the time I was born the remaining citizens had formed clans and there was constantly fighting for what little life was left on the moon. That was when Wiseman came to us. He said without our Queen we were hopelessly lost but he offered to show us a way to channel our own emotions to survive. My parents and all the other clan leaders followed him blindly thinking he had the answer. They felt abandoned since Serenity was unable to send us to Earth as well. He taught us how to draw on the moons energy and with all our hatred for Serenity we made the first dark crystal."
"You are all Lunarians?"
"Yes, but our hatred twisted the power so much that the moon repelled us and was killing us with its attempt to purify us. By that time Diamond and I were barely 10 and Wiseman showed us Nemesis. We took was little we had and relocated wandering the universe searching for life. Wiseman took Diamond under his wing and became his personal tutor saying he showed the most potential. He made him into the man he is today. Centuries later we made our way back to Earth to find it alive and full of magic, that same magic we had once called home. Against Wiseman's wishes we went to your court and asked to be allowed to join you. You accepted and my brother was lost. He fell in love with you at that moment and he had to have you. We lived in peace for some time but you reap what you sow. We had spent so long harboring negative feelings that we couldn't fight it. A war broke out and in the end we were all banished to Nemesis again. Wiseman played off of Diamond's rage at loosing a home again and his obsession with you and that brought us to this moment."
"Taking over Earth will not bring back peace to any of the surviving Nega-moon clan. We need to rid ourselves of this evil that has poisoned you for so long. Then we can all have a chance at peace."
"I see you finally show your true colors Pearl, I always knew you were against me!" Wiseman was hovering above them and laughing. "I came for one traitor and I get two. I can kill two birds with one stone and still have control over Nemesis. As long as Diamond is under my control you will never win."
"He doubts you even now Wiseman! I will not let you pollute his mind anymore like you have the rest of this family. I'm a part of it now and I'm here to stay!"
"Strong words for a woman. But can you back them up Princess..." Wiseman shot a wave of dark energy at the two and in reflex Pearl covered Sapphire. She waited for the blow but it never came. Opening her eyes she saw a field of Dark energy engulfing them and feeding right into the two crystals they held. The more he shot at them the stronger she felt and the more the crystal glowed. Winking to Sapphire she motion for him to pull out his crystal and held it up. As the dust cleared Wiseman cackled to himself at the job well done only to be cut short at the site of Pearl and Sapphire standing amidst the rubble unharmed. "But how, that should have killed you!"
Sapphire held up the dark crystal and grinned. "Just as you said to me once Wiseman, Never underestimate the power of the dark crystal!" joining the two halves together Pearl and Sapphire sent an all out attack straight to Wiseman and heard him screaming as the wave hit him. When the power subsided Pearl and Sapphire could see Wiseman on the ground with a very big rip in his cloak. "Give up Wiseman, your reign of evil over!"
"Not until I say so your highness...." As the words wheezed out of his mouth a piece of metal was heading right for them. Catching it out of the side of her eye Pearl saw it coming and didn't know what to do. Magic was one thing physical objects were another. She didn't have to think long though because before her eyes Diamond appeared and without a flinch he took the blow for Pearl and Sapphire.
"How much farther do we have to go Serena."
