Disclaimer: Okay, okay! I don't own the Scouts... grumbles It's a nice thought though.
Summary- Okay, gather round! Gather round! Time for the next installment. Well, when we last left off, it was present time in Crystal Tokyo, and we've learned that the destined love isn't all that it seems to be. But we also found out that it wasn't always this way. Now in this chapter, we go back in time. It's still during the Crystal Tokyo era, but Serenity and Endymion haven't had their coronation, or party thing to make them official King and Queen. So the kingdom is still under the rule of Princess Serenity's mother. We've got a whole new twist coming in, so be prepared!
PS- I... am... BATMAN!

"Venus, Love Chain, ENCIRCLE!," a pretty blonde warrior in an orange Fuku called out. From her pointed finger, orange glowing hearts ensnared the creature before her, holding it in place.
"Mars, Inferno, IGNIGHT!," a tan, exotic looking warrior with long, dark hair cried out forcefully. She had her hands clasped together, with both index fingers pointing up, and her head bowed, as though she were praying. The red Fuku blew back slightly as a large, twisting tornado of flame erupted from her pointing fingers, charring the already defeated monster. This time, the beast was silent.
Pebbles skittered from behind them, and all four girls turned. A blonde girl with her hair done up in pigtails, had risen up from a large pile of rubble. She walked to the head of the group, assuming position as leader, and grimaced at the mess before her.
"Moon!," all four girls gasped. They knew that she had to be badly hurt. There was no way she could've gone through that fight unscathed. But the leader held up a hand to the girls behind her, the tattered, dark blue Fuku shifting slightly in a passing breeze.
"Moon, Tiara, MAGIC!," she called out, a white gloved hand pulled off her gold glowing tiara, which had become a solid Frisbee. She pulled it back, her pink knee-high boots scraping on the destroyed stone floor, little pebbles skittering away. Then she threw it forward at the slain beast. It promptly disintegrated into billions of black particles. The Frisbee came back to the girl, now looking like a tiara. She placed it on her head with a relieved sigh. Then she turned to her warriors, her friends, and gave them a weary smile. Crystal Tokyo had been saved yet again, the only thing left was to find out where the beast had come from, but they could leave that up to Luna and Artimis.
With a small nod of approval, she began the walk towards their home, but when none of them followed, she turned to find all the girls starring at the sky. So, she too looked up, only to see that the black particles had not dispersed, but condensed above them into a dark cloud.
"Mercury...," she started, but stopped when she saw that the petite girl was two steps ahead of her. The blue visor tinted the girl's already blue eyes as she looked up at the cloud, letting it flash the results across her eyes. A worried look lit her face when she clicked the visor off.
"Unknown," she sighed. "It's never been seen before, but it's not dangerous..." She sounded unsure, but that was all they had to go by. The girls watched the cloud a little longer. The saw with terror filled eyes as it expanded over the city, shadowing everything, as if claiming it.
Then, oddly enough, a thin vapor of the cloud stretched down, reaching for their leader. It slithered about her from her feet up, keeping her arms pinned motionless at her sides. It wrapped around her neck, she felt it squeeze, before it reached up and began to smother her. It blocked all her senses, and she gagged, trying not to breathe it in. But her lungs began to scream for air, and she opened her mouth, screaming as her lungs did. The vapor violently invaded her mouth and nose, it infiltrated her body. She saw nothing but dark, smoky death before she passed out.
The four girls crowded around their fallen leader, fearful expressions on their faces. Only the dark haired warrior put on a stalwart face, and proceeded to lift up the fallen girl. One by one the girls grabbed hold of their battle worn leader, and carried her to the palace.
"Luna! LUNA!," the girls cried as they burst into the palace. The voices bounced off the crystal walls of the corridor, echoing throughout. The scattered clicks of their heels were heard as they rushed towards the medical wing. A black cat dashed out of a room as they went past.
"Girls! What happened? Serena!," the cat exclaimed, calling her owner by her Earthen name. She was shocked at the site of her owner passed out and laying limp in the arms of her friends.
"Set up a bed in the medical wing, now!," the red Fuku wearing warrior ordered. The cat shot down the corridor, and into the medical wing. Luna had transformed into her human state, a tall pretty woman with creamy skin and long, wavy dark hair. She was wearing a gold dress with matching heels and ribbon in her hair. Luna informed a nurse, who then prepared a bed for the incoming patient. The girls rushed in and put the pigtailed girl on the bed, Then the nurses and doctors swarmed about her, and the girls, Luna included, were forced out of the room. With worried glances towards their fallen one, they all left, trying to figure out what to do now.
Hope you guys are enjoying this! I know, I know it's rated R but there's no action! Lol, don't worry, next chapter. I have a lot of the chapters already typed out, I'm just giving them time in between, ya know? One downfall, the scene isn't depicted very well, it was one of those things where so many things were happening at once and I wanted you all to see it from every angle. I tried though! Lol. As far as the lovers in the next chapter go, I wasn't going all out for detail. I just need to get the point across, but I promise, the scene after this up coming one is gonna be hot-n- heavy! Oh yeah, incoming plot twist. This is where the confusion starts. Sorry.
