Disclaimer- We... no, I need Sailor Moon back on TV!

Summary- Okie dokie folks! New chapter. Alright, in the last chapter we found out something about my (Rei's) past. Oooo, interesting... anyway! In this chapter, we break away from the Moon Kingdom with their troubles and woes, and look within the evil that causes it. We will lurk in the shadows along side this fiend, who has so casually decided to play with the one thing which should never be tampered with: Fate.

Beacon in the Darkness

He sulked as he wandered aimlessly, searching for something in the eternal Darkness. He had grown tired of it over the years. Yet, past the seductiveness and dominance of the Darkness, he now yearned for the Light, almost needed it. Though –and he hated to admit it- he still felt the power of the Darkness.

Once, that pure Light had shone its brilliance in this dismal Hell. Yet, that Light had rejected him –violently. Still, he had pressed on, urging the Light, invading it. And thus, as it has always been, the Light forced back the Darkness, protecting itself in fierce anger.

This time... this time she would not reject him. After all this time he spent wandering, repenting, she would not reject him. He wouldn't let her.

His plan was already put into play, turning the Hands of Time, playing with Fate, changing all that they knew. His goal would be reached, the Darkness would consume the Light. Finally, all he wanted would be his.

"Dark Prince," a silky feminine voice called from a shadowed doorway. He stopped in his tracks and faced the shadow.

"Dark Prince, the White Prince is weak, the White Princess is apt to regain consciousness soon. Shall we continue with her, or shall we deal with him?"

"I will handle it," he told her. He watched her shadowed form bow, and he continued on his walk, now with a purpose. He made his way to the Control Room, where Her 3-D image was displayed, life size, in the center. What and angel she was! Those blonde tresses, perfect blue eyes... and soon she would be his. His corruption of the Moon Kingdom had started, and the downfall would soon follow.

He had toyed with the White Prince and Princess so far, but now he had to deal with the Court. His cloud was reawakening lust filled memories in them, although some seemed more fit to have nightmares, but even so, he would obtain his Light.

He sat before a control panel, lights blinking dimly under a large, black screen. With the flick of a switch, a picture came into view. Before him was the darkening Moon Kingdom, the cloud swirling over head. A button was pushed, and the picture zoomed in near the ground, where the four Senshi and the Princess' Advisors were. They were trying to analyze the cloud, hoping to unlock its secrets.

He smirked up at the screen as he saw them foolishly continue to try. They wouldn't find anything. Even the little genius was coming up short. He pressed a different button, and found the White Prince walk into his chambers and sit in a chair, a small glass case containing four stones in his lap. He watched as the Prince meditated over the case and four legendary generals appeared. He watched them converse, most likely about the Princess, but he couldn't tell. He was about to turn off the screen when he saw the dark haired Senshi walk into his chambers.

She was quite attractive in the strapless red dress, but her look was one so pathetic, that he was almost disgusted. His Angel would never hold such a look. But he grew more interested as he watched her try to force herself on the White Prince, which caused a truly heartbroken look from a general. The one with short blonde hair and blue eyes, Jaedite. He held a fiery temper, which was seemingly almost released on his Prince and... lover? Ah, maybe this general had feelings for the young lady... it should prove interesting. His eyes darted back to the pair in time to see the Prince push the woman away. Dejected, she stormed out of his room, and the White Prince looked apologetically at his blonde general. He tried to speak, but the general wouldn't hear it. Without even a stern-faced bow, he disappeared. The other three awaited their Prince, who feel heavily back into the chair, and with a dismissive wave of his hand, they bowed and disappeared as well.

"A weak moment in time I see," he muttered as he turned off the screen. He was about to leave when an idea suddenly came to mind. Quickly, he turned on the screen again, flipping to the blonde Senshi's area. He found her in a room, the motif, a mix of pink, yellow, and orange. She was sitting before a vanity, brushing out her long blonde hair.

"You should consider yourself luck to look so much like perfection," he growled at the screen with distaste. Why should one such as her look so much like his Desire? She didn't deserve to, that was most certain, but it would serve his purpose well.

He flipped back to the White Prince, who was standing at an open window, letting a breeze flow in.

"Bad move," he said with a smile, and hit a button. Slowly, the cloud wafted into the room. The Prince had no idea, and went, stumbling, over to his bed. The bed which he shared with the White Princess.

"And soon, it will be the Dark Prince by her side," he murmured, turning off the screen.

After all, he thought, rising from the panel. The Darkness can consume the Light.

I'm sorry, but I have to congradulate myself on that chapter. It just seemed very poetic to me. Ah, it was oddly satifying somehow as well. Oh, I might be running slow with the chapters again, starting monday (today is saturday) I get to work with little kids every monday and wednesday. It's volenteer, and I'm amazing with little kids. I'm teaching acting! I'm an awful actor, but I can teach well, and kids relate to me well. Plus, a guy, who is a bit jerky, is running it. Major crush! I know, I know, I have my guy, and I do love him, but I can't help crushing on another guy! Should I try to avoid temptation? I can get away with one cheat, so should I try and use it or not? lol, if anyone can answer, I'll be thankful!
