*************************************************************************
AN: Here is the next instalment to this story. I hope everyone is enjoying it. And again thanks to all who have been with this story from day one. Please don't forget to read and review.
Sailor Moon is not owned by me, I am only borrowing the characters to create this story. Other characters in this story are my creations.
*************************************************************************
She stood like a silver goddess among the debris of steel mortar and bricks, shining like noonday sun. Her eyes glowed silver blue and her hair took on a silver shine. Darien just stood there as his eyes were transfixed to this beloved sight.
It took a moment before Darien noticed that Serena wasn't Sailor Moon, nor was she just plain Serena. Catching breath he realized that this was someone from the past.
This was someone that had been trying to break free from Serena's own mind for almost a year. This was Princess Serenity true to her form.
Princess Serenity looked at the sight that lay before her as the silver crystal, within the locket she held tightly in front of her, glowed a brilliant hue of silver.
For a moment her eyes returned almost blue as she caught sight of her love, but returned, once she saw the Demons and then glowed with fierceness as she caught sight of the Silver Lady standing at the battle's edge.
Slowly the silver glow that surrounded her from the locket, dissipated leaving nothing but her and the moon's light above
"Who are you and how dare you attack this world and my Scouts?" Princess Serenity's voice echoed angrily through the night air.
"I am known as the Silver Lady, Princess. We will destroy you and this world." The woman replied back with such a coldness that could even freeze hell's flame.
"I will not let you do that." The silver angel spoke.
"Who is going to stop me.you? Your pathetic Scouts couldn't stop me and when they tried look at what has happened to them. They are dead and you are about to JOIN THEM!" Lexa screamed.
As she spoke, Lexa hurled herself into the air and threw silver darts, the same ones that had trapped and almost killed Darien the last time. The arrows whizzed through the air flying straight and true towards its victim. Serenity stood still and silent not moving an inch to get away from them.
Darien watched in horror as the ice darts swept towards his beloved.
What are you doing Serena? Move already. Protect yourself! His mind screamed out.
With almost no time to spare Darien moved to his shirt to pull out this rose. About to throw and deflect the darts, Darien suddenly found himself frozen to his spot.
What gives! He said to himself in horror as he found he couldn't move. Silently he watched as the ice darts flew towards his Serenity.
Serenity, calmly and without fear, stood and looked directly at them.
Within a foot of meeting its destination, the darts suddenly burst into back flames letting only a faint rustle of the wind catching Serenity's hair.
"What the." Lexa stared confusingly.
"You have disobeyed me Lexa. I said for everyone but her." A voice whispered darkly within the nightly sky.
Lexa paled a ghostly white, as she seemed to recognise the unearthly voice. "I am sorry My Lord. I.I.I.got carried away. But I have done what you asked.the Sailor Scouts are no more."
Suddenly a black fire seemed to burn from out of no where a few dozen feet from where Serenity stood, within moments the fire vanished leaving a man clothed in black armour almost mirror like to Darien's past self, a sword hanging from his hips.
This man wore a black cloak to match his armour, yet his hair as it caught some of the moonlight above, gleamed a dull green.
As his gaze locked with his warrior, his eyes became like black coals, igniting a cold black flame within its depths.
Darien looked at this tall warrior and a sense of familiarity tingled in the back of his mind. He had seen this figure before, but when?
The figure lifted his eyes from the Silver Lady and met those of the Silver Angel standing upon the debris mound that had once held her friends. Darien noticed his eyes grow soft and warm as those dark amber eyes beheld his beloved. Those were they eyes of a man in love.
His eyes narrowing dangerously, and said. "I don't know who you are but you will pay for what you have done."
The black figure turned his head and cold hard hatred showed upon his face as he saw the prince only a few yards away.
"Ahh yes the Prince of thieves. Nice of you to be in attendance. I shall enjoy watching you suffer most of all. And I will start by taking what you prize more than anything in this life as you did with me." He said as a cold and malicious smile grew on his face from the thought of the pain he would be inflicting.
Darien looked at him confusingly. "What do you mean? I don't even know you."
The smile grew wider as he replied, "I am surprised by that Prince Endymion. However though you may not remember me. I know you very well."
With that the dark figure looked towards the Black Damon, who had been waiting within the darkened shadows of the street, and sighed.
"You know I tire from all this conversation. A little action is called for." At that with a faint nod the Damon leaped from the shadows and raced towards tuxedo mask.
Tuxedo Mask on cue tried to move and again he couldn't budge. It seemed that who ever this evil monster was had somehow made his body freeze in place. The demon was fast approaching and there was no way he could stop it. He was in trouble.
The demon quickly approached the caped figure, with its hair waving and eyes sparking black and silver, Darien knew that the demon was powering up and ready to unleash its black fire upon him. The dark figure only laughed diabolically at Tuxedo Mask's dilemma.
The demon was only a yard away when it suddenly a silver beam struck the black Damon and exploded into silver dust. Everyone turned at once and looked towards the direction it had come from.
Serenity's form was glowing again, as her eyes were closed tightly in concentration and her hands cupped tightly the glowing locket.
"You have forgotten that my powers are more then enough to deal with these demons." Serenity's soft yet stern and powerful voice said.
"And you, if I must." She whispered as her silver eyes locked with those of the black armoured figure.
"It is nice to see you again too Princess Serenity. It has been a long time." He greeted, the destruction of his demon letting it pass.
At that Serenity's brows came together as she tried to concentrate as to where that voice and face came from. She knew him. Yet the name and relationship he was to her escaped her.
"I know you." she asked and stated at the same time.
He smiled kindly towards her and nodded. "You must recall some memory of me, after all I am your betrothed."
At that Darien's head snapped up and looked to Serena's figure and waited what her response would be.
He couldn't be her fiancé. She was his after all. There was something missing and Darien was going to find out what that was.
Serena stepped back as confusion and uncertainty gripped her. The glow around her dimmed slightly as she asked with a hint of instability in her voice. "Prince Endymion of Earth is my betrothed. You lie! My mother gave us her blessing when I turned 16."
The dark figure scowled and replied fiercely. "Yet it was your father that first brought us together and it was binding and witnessed before both of our courts. The only way it could be broken is if both of us gave our mutual consent."
"Who are you?" Serenity finally replied hoarsely, her mind becoming blank as she tried to recall her memories.
"I am hurt that you cannot remember me." He feigned a hurtful expression. "No matter."
With that he gathered his black cloak and whipped it around. He then approached her, took a hold of her hand, bowed formally as he kissed it and said.
"Let me reintroduce myself. I am Abol, Lord of the Abyss."
To be continued.
