Chapter 7.
In Outer space the evilness came to a barrier he couldn't move forwards or backwards, when he tried he rebounded off it. Damn those Senshi, how did they manage to do this? Never mind, it won't hold me forever; I'll just wait for a while until it goes away.
"Warriors
we will remain here until we can continue, preserve your energy, we
will awaken in three Earth Years, we will grow in energy and we will
defeat the Senshi."
Cheers went up all around him, from his
shadow warriors.
Back on Earth Queen Serenity appeared in front of the others, who had broke the circle and were looking around.
"What happened?" she asked the group.
"Darien, he broke his Crystal and disappeared, just like Serena." Adam said to the Queen.
"Rini
the Crystal of Earth is yours, combine the fragments with the
Imperium Crystal, say Crystals combine, and it will work, and don't
worry child they will be back. As for the evil, the Powers That Be,
have decreed that as this was not supposed to happen they have locked
the being into a bubble, he will not be able to escape for about
three years, maybe four, it depends on how strong he gets between now
and then."
"Thank you on behalf of the Earth" Bruce said as
he walked up to the Serene being. "We are extremely sorry for what
has taken place."
"I know, and your parents are proud of what you have become, as are the dead loved ones of the rest of you. Good luck" Serenity vanished.
"Crystals Combine" yelled Rini, and as Serenity said the crystals became one.
High above the room Serena and Darien manage to find each other, Serena shouted at him,
"You stupid, stupid man, how could you leave Rini, she needs you to be there, why did you have to come. You don't love me, your sick of destiny telling us to be together remember."
"Serena, Rini has everyone down there, she will be fine, I love you and I always have, I could not be without you my love. You need me more than they do." He replied pointing what could be called a hand at the people below.
"They
hate me, Raye never liked me, and the others just protected me, and
feel guilty that they didn't do their jobs. The strangers don't
even know me, yet they hate me."
"It's not true, stay and
listen, watch what they are doing."
Serena just stopped and
listened to her friends, even Raye, who was still crying.
"It's my fault, please Gods bring her back, and I'll do anything, take me and bring her back." Raye pleaded, but she got no answer.
"We have to try this again, Darien and Serena need to be pulled back." Professor X said.
Once they were all settle into the circle with Willow in the middle they began again,
"Lords, Gods, Goddesses, Ladies of the Universe, here my call, grant me the power to talk to Serena, a friend to many, loved by all her friends, please bring her to the inner circle" Willow called.
"I can't come back, I don't want to come back, leave me alone, and Raye get lost and find someone else to pick on." Serena blasted them all with her energy.
"Will, you ok?" Buffy said as she ran to her friend.
"Sure, why did she do that?"
"Serena is very upset, she has never hurt an innocent before, she can't cope knowing that she had a fight over nothing and caused pain to them two over there." Lita said pointing to Wolverine and Rogue.
"Look, we are really sorry, but we didn't call her names, she did that." Rogue said pointing to Raye.
"I love her, really I do. Serena please come back, I'm sorry, I was jealous, you had what I wanted, I wanted to be loved how you was loved, by your friends, your family and Darien, I wanted to know that I would have a child in the future as kind and sweet as Rini. I wanted everything that you had, and I wanted to go back to Mars, like you will go back to the Moon, please Serena answer me." Raye finally fell down on the floor, exhausted, as she hadn't slept in nearly 24 hours, just like all the others.
"Perhaps Madam Web can help. I'll be back, she doesn't like crowds." Peter put his mask on and swung out of the cave, mentally calling for Madam Web to pull him into her lair.
"Serena go and talk to Raye, she is dying, not of any illness, but of her sorrow, she knows she hurt you." Darien pleaded.
"I can't, they all think that I am weak."
"No Serena, you have never been weak, just frightened. It's that that gives you strength, you love your friends and you are scared for them, it gives you your power, go and talk to her."
Serena nodded and floated down and drifted around the people, she went to Wolverine and said,
"I'm not weak, I love my friends, that is my strength"
Wolverine looked around for the voice.
"Angel, you're a good friend, but you need to love, not hide."
"You need to learn not to hide too." He replied.
"You will see" Serena said cryptically.
She
drifted over to Jean and Professor X and said, "Thank you for
trying, sorry I blasted you."
"That's ok Serena, come back
so we can get to know you."
"No"
She then drifted over to Bruce and Superman, "I'm sorry for messing this up I know it was important"
They didn't know what to say, so she moved onto Giles, Willow, Wes and Gun who were trying to work out what to do.
"You are good people, keep helping the innocent, keep friendships alive and never lose what you have. The Silver Millennium lost four wonderful people when you died. Look into the books of the ancient Moon Kingdom, they will help with this problem."
She floated away and left them staring at each other in shock, had she really said they were from that time?
Raye was
still lying on the floor in Chad's arms when Serena got there,
"Raye, Chad loves you, you was just too pig headed to see it, love
him and grow with him. I know you love me, I just wish you hadn't
been so mean, I give you a gift. Raise him to be a Guardian to the
Planets, he will be needed later on."
"Serena, what the hell
have you just done to me?" Raye suddenly shouted.
As Serena had only willed herself to speak to Raye, no one else had heard what she had told Raye.
"I have given you a child, raise him well my friend."
"Serena,
I can't have a baby, that's your department, not mine."
"Raye
what are you talking about?" Chad asked, it was too late, Raye
passed out.
Serena
went to the Senshi and said, "She is with child, he will be born in
five months, I sped up the process, I hope it will help her to heal,
make sure she actually marries Chad before then, give her the full
Senshi wedding."
"Rini my child, your father and I love you,
take care and I will see you again."
Serena
floated up to Darien and said, "I can't go back to them now, but
we are going back to the Earth, we will remember nothing of this, and
we will live in another place, a place called New York, you will go
to work and college and I will go to High School."
"How
Serena? Will we know each other?"
"I do not know the outcome, leave it to go it's own course, if you truly love me now we will come back together without any outside help."
In a flash of light Serena and Darien vanished to go live their new lives, their old ones being wiped out completely, except to the Senshi and the others in the Bat Cave.
"NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Serena, not again, come back." Raye shouted as she sat up. "Oh, I feel sick"
"Raye what happened? What did Serena say?"
"She... she's gone completely, Darien too, no one in Tokyo will remember her, or him, just us. What have I done?"
"Raye she gave you a child, do you know why?" Holly asked her.
"No, she
heard me I suppose, she said Chad loves me, and do you Chad?"
"Yes, and we will like get married as soon as we can." Chad said
kissing Raye's hand.
"Sorry to break this up, she spoke to us too, she said we were from the Silver Millennium." Gun told the others.
"Impossible." Amanda shouted.
"We Will have to wait and see." Trista said.
"Before
we decide on what to do, I should tell you something. I told Serena
that she should learn not to hide, she replied 'you will see'
does that make sense to any of you?"
"She is alive, without
memories, without friends and without Darien." Came the Serene
voice of Queen Serenity.
"What about Darien?" Asked Adam.
"He too is alive, without memories, without friends and without Serena, they both have the same names, but please don't look for them, and they have to find you this time, that includes you Luna."
"Are you sure your majesty?" Luna asked.
"Yes,
trust me. Now congratulations Raye and Chad on the baby and the
Senshi wedding, it must be done soon, remember Mina, it's your job,
also to deliver the child with Holly helping."
"I remember
your highness."
"Good, take care, and my blessings to you
all." She vanished into a bright light.
After a quick Senshi meeting they decided that the ceremony should take place right there and then, they asked Bruce if it was alright to do it there, he had agreed and told them that they should perform the ceremony in the great hall above them in his home. They had gone and set everything up, leaving the non-Senshi's to watch in a mixture of amusement and joy.
"Dearly beloved, and departed, we are gathered in this great hall to witness the Senshi wedding of Rei Princess of Mars to Chadium, Knight of Mars. Please will the aforesaid persons step forth." Mina said loudly.
Chad walked through the arched doorway on the left of the hall, he was wearing his Knight suit from battle, Raye walked from the right archway towards the centre of the room, instead of a smiling face she had a sad mournful look, as if she was going to a funeral, she was wearing her Sailor Fuku.
"This
ceremony is to celebrate a wedding, one that as Priestess to
Aphrodite it is my sworn duty to perform. It is also my pleasure to
partake of this special time, before we begin there is someone that
wishes to speak to the room, Trista made it possible."
"Serena,
but how?" Cried Raye as she saw Serena walk towards her.
"I brought Serena here from a couple of years ago not long after you fought the Dark Moon, I have told her of the situation, that Serena of this time had to go to the future and help Neo-Queen Serenity, she agreed to come and bless the marriage, and officiate as Queen." Trista told the shocked girl.
"Thank
you, I couldn't do this without you here, I love you Serena, thank
you so much."
"Don't be silly Raye, I'm your friend, I
will always be with you when you need me. Why are you so sad?"
"She's having a baby Serena, it's her hormones, you understand
don't you." Amy told Serena
"Of course, congratulations, come on lets get the show on the road." Shouted the bubbly 14 year old.
"Ok, who
gives this woman Rei in marriage to Chadium of Mars?"
"I do"
said Serena, still smiling, Mina gave Serena a hard look that made
her repeat what Trista told her to say, "I Future Queen Serenity
give the hand of Rei to Chadium of Mars in Holy Senshi marriage."
"Chadium, do you accept the hand of Rei, from the hand of Queen
Serenity, to have as your bride and Senshi for the rest of your
immortal days, and into the eternal light of death there after?"
"I
Chadium, Knight of Mars accept the hand of Rei, to be my bride."
"Who gives the hand of Chadium in marriage to Rei, Princess of
Mars?"
"I Prince Darien of Earth, give the hand of Chadium
to Rei, Princess of Mars in Holy Senshi marriage." Past Darien said
as he stepped through the doorway and up to Chad's side.
"Rei, do you accept the hand of Chadium, from the hand of Prince Darien of Earth, to have as your husband and Knight for the rest of your immortal days, and into the eternal light of death there after?"
"I Rei, Princess of Mars accept the hand of Chadium, to be my husband."
"Under the guidance of Aphrodite may your love blossom forever, and in the name of the Goddess of Love and Beauty I name you Princess and Prince of Mars, Raye and Chad Hino."
As Mina finished her blessing Raye and Chad changed from their fighting suits into those of a Princess and Prince, with a pronounced bump on Raye's belly.
"We have to go now Raye, Chad, I'm so glad that we were here to see this, I love you both, see you sometime." Serena said in excitement.
"Congratulations Chad, Raye, thank god someone who can manage your temper and live." Darien joked.
Raye burst into tears on Chad's shoulder,
"Don't sweat it man, hormones, take care you both."
With a flash of light Serena, Darien and Trista vanished, Trista reappeared five seconds later on her own.
"Now they have gone, what did you mean by immortal, who's immortal and what is going on?
"We, all of us Senshi and knights are immortal, it comes from being connected to our planets, when we die we are reborn either in this life or sometime in the future, we are and always will be." Charon answered.
After the wedding and the conversation on immortals they began discussing what they should do about the evil trapped in space. Afterwards the Senshi left, agreeing to come back to the Bat Cave in two years time to discuss the terms and agreements of the new force that will protect the Earth against the approaching enemy, the force that they would call the Silver Army.
