The Battle of the Forgotten Planet
Chapter Thirteen
The flash of light that came from the crystal momentarily blinded Serena and Queen Eternus, when the light died down Princess Serenity was once again standing in Serena's place. She was floating in the air and her dress was been blown by an imaginary wind. She rose up above Queen Eternus and a beam of bright pinkish light flew toward Queen Eternus. Serena gave out a scream as she felt the energy leaving her body and she felt the walls of the castle start to shake. She saw the beam surround Eternus and she saw her body dissolve in the light. The beam shot back into the crystal and her dress stilled in the imaginary wind.
She looked at the ground and saw that it was steadily getting closer; she felt her feet touch the ground and immediately collapsed onto the ground.
Darien heard the scream and saw the light and he knew what Serena must've been doing. He ran for the doors again and was surprised when they opened easily and he stumbled in the room. His eyes widened at what he saw, the throne room was destroyed, there was rubble everywhere and the only thing that was left of Queen Eternus was a black mark on the ground.
He ran over to the collapsed body of Princess Serenity and fell down on his knees. He pulled her into his lap and felt a tear tickle down his cheek when he saw the light glow around her body and saw the form of Serena Tsukino, with bruises, cuts, and blood everywhere. He sat there holding her and he heard Damien stumble into the room.
"She destroyed the Queen…" Damien stated and Darien nodded. Damien slowly walked over to them and smiled sadly down at her, "But to what cost?" Damien knelt by Darien and put a hand on his shoulder as the sobs started to shake Darien's body.
The scouts jumped the rest of the way down the gate when they heard the scream and ran for the castle. Once they entered it they realized that they had no idea where Serena was. Jupiter grabbed the nearest guard and slammed him against the wall, "Where is the Queen?" She yelled and the guard pointed toward the throne room with a trembling hand.
Jupiter dropped him onto the ground and they took off toward the throne room. Once they busted in the room they saw the hunched backs of Darien and the guy they could only guess was Damien. They looked around in horror when they saw the destruction and knew that they were too late, they had saw the light, and they all knew what it was coming from in their minds. Serena had used the crystal when she was already in a weakened state. It could've only resulted in one thing. Death,
The scouts walked slowly over to the body of their own friend and joined hands to form a circle around Darien, Damien, and Serena. They closed their eyes and focused their energy into Serena. Darien held onto Serena as he saw her moon sign appear, he watched as the different colors went into it and his heart soared at the thought that maybe she could be saved.
They all waited on baited breath for the next ten minutes as Serena absorbed the scouts' energy. Finally Darien felt her move in his arms and her eyes fluttered open. He smiled at her and tried to stop the tears that were coming from his eyes. "Darien…did I do it?" She asked softly and he nodded,
"Yes you did it Serena; you defeated the evil Queen and set free an entire kingdom." Serena smiled at him and he gave her a gentle kiss.
"I'm sorry I used the crystal, but there was no other way, I would've died if I didn't." Darien looked at her strangely,
"Serena, you almost died anyway, the only reason you didn't was because the girls got here in time to transfer some of their energy to you." Serena looked at him and paled a little.
"I'm sorry Darien, I was wondering why you looked so sad, I didn't think using the crystal would kill me I just thought it would weaken me." Darien helped her sit up and he shook his head at her,
"Serena, you were already in a weakened state, so when you did use it, it weakened you more, and your body needs a certain amount of energy to run." Serena nodded and looked at the scouts who were sitting on the floor looking a little drained.
"I'm sorry guys; I couldn't let her get away with killing everyone." They all nodded in understanding and Serena turned toward Damien.
"I'm sorry that I killed your Queen, Damien, and I'm sorry that I hurt you. But I just want you to know that you are more than welcome to come back to earth with me, as long as you promise not to hurt anyone else, I would be more than happy to have you with us." Damien nodded,
"I guess there is nothing left for me on this planet, the people here will probably rebuild the castle and elect a new King and Queen." Serena nodded and they all stood up. Serena left Darien and joined the scouts to make a circle around Damien and Darien.
They all closed they eyes and in a flash of bright lights they were gone.
