Quick Note/Message:

Chapter three, a little shorter then usual but I just didn't want to run it too long… I am really liking where the whole storyline is going as I hope you do as well. I have received a lot of questions about if this was going to be a Serena/Darien fanfic, truth be told, I haven't fully decided yet. I change my mind every now and then. I usually write with the flow, who knows? They may be and they may not be. I have a few ideas, we'll just see.


Chapter 3

Destruction. Everything was being destroyed and nothing could be done to stop Queen Beryl and her army. The Sailor Scouts in Princess Serena's court were dead and it would only be a matter of time before everyone on the Moon was dead. The Neird Scouts in Queen Serenity's court were in the east side of the Moon battling with Queen Beryl's minions. Once they defeated them Sailor Eros and the other Neird Scouts hurried to the western side of the Moon where they knew Queen Serenity and the Princess would be hiding. Sailor Eros came to a halt when she noticed one of individuals fighting for Queen Serenity it was Prince Darien. Sailor Eros sent a wave of power at a minion beside her and ran over to Darien who now had a sword to his throat.

"EROS… COSMIC… ILLUSION!" Sailor Earth shouted sending a minor attack at the minion, making sure it was only enough to get their attention. Not only did she get the minion's attention, but Darien's as well.

Sailor Eros ran and slid in front of the prince with her staff out ready to attack. The minion laughed and went to charge Sailor Eros, however, Sailor Eros knocked the minion on his feet with ease, using her staff and with a swift movement, killed him with a deadly ray of power. With the minion dead, Prince Darien stood and looked at the woman in front of him with a deep confusion in his eyes. Sailor Eros turned around and for the first time since she left the Earth to fight for her home planet she was face to face with the man she loved, the man who was now engaged to the Princess of the Moon.

"Hello Darien," Sailor Eros whispered, trying her hardest to fight back the tears building up, "I'm not surprised to see you here defending your fiancés people while your own get destroyed."

Darien's eyes widened in disbelief, "Rayne? No, this is impossible. You're dead, I held you in my arms, you were dead."

"No, I wasn't Darien… EROS COSMIC DREAMS!" Sailor Eros shouted, sending a deadly attack at a group of minions running towards them, killing each one, she then turned her attention back to the bewildered prince, "I was kidnapped by Queen Beryl and her minions, they planted that fake dead body so that you everyone would believe I was dead and the prophecy of the Golden Millennium could not be fulfilled."

"Kidnapped?" Darien asked throwing a rose through the heart of a minion, "when were you set free? Why didn't you come and see me?"

"I wasn't set free, Darien, I escaped," Sailor Eros said quickly as she continued to attack the enemy around them, "I did come and see you, Darien, a little longer then six weeks after I left for Eros and all I wanted to do was run into your arms and hear you tell me that everything was going to be OK, however, when I got to the palace you and your new fiancé seemed busy."

"I knew it!" Darien exclaimed, killing a minion that was going to attack Sailor Eros, "I knew I wasn't seeing things that day that was you! Why didn't you say anything to me? Your sister and I would have loved to know that you were alive! I would have liked to know that you were alive!"

"Why, Darien?" Sailor Eros snapped, killing the last of the minions around them. She now stood in front of Darien, staring dead straight into his eyes, her eyes reflecting the anger, pain and heartache she was feeling at that moment, "what good would it have done? You moved on, obviously I meant nothing to you."

"You know that's not true, Rayne." Darien pleaded with her, grabbing onto her shoulders

"Cut the bullshit, Darien," Sailor Eros snapped, pulling away from him, "In less then six weeks after I left as YOUR FIANCE, you fell in love and became engaged to my half sister!"

"I thought you were dead, Rayne, we all did."

"Oh, OK, I get it," Sailor Eros shouted, ignoring the fact that the other four Nerid scouts were watching them, "it's OK, my fiancés dead so why don't I go and fall in love with the only real blood family that she has left? Great idea, Darien! I would have at least mourned longer then a few days for the one I promised to marry! You never loved me, Darien; you were in love with the idea of me. I may be young, but I am not stupid nor am I blind."

"What are you talking about, Rayne?" Darien asked, grabbing a firm hold on the visibly upset sailor scout, "I love you, Rayne. I do not love Serena. The only reason I am engaged to her is because I know what the prophecy is, Rayne, and I had to make sure that it was fulfilled."

Sailor Eros closed her eyes and used all the strength she had to pull away from the prince. She stood there, watching him closely with tears now streaming down her face like a waterfall, "I don't believe you, Darien. I can't…"

"I'll prove it to you," said Darien quickly, cutting off Eros before she could continue, "I know where Serena and her mother are hiding to keep safe, I shall go to them now and break off the engagement. When this war is over and the negaverse is destroyed, we will return to Earth and be married, as it should have been."

"Darien, don't,"

However, before Sailor Eros could stop the determined prince, he was already running towards the Royal Families safe courtier. Sailor Eros sighed in frustration and ran down the same path, followed by her team of scouts, after the prince. They all came to a dead pause when they noticed Queen Beryl going after Princess Serena, who, instead of going with her mother to a safe and secure area, the princess remained on her balcony, stupidly watching the Earth. Sailor Eros and the other Nerid scouts went to attack Queen Beryl when a red rose intercepted Queen Beryl's attack; the rose belonged to Prince Darien.

Queen Beryl snarled and turned to face the direction where the rose had come from, "Who are you?"

Darien stood before her proudly, showing no fear towards the evil queen, "I am Prince Darien, sworn to defend the Moon Kingdom against evil like you."

"Prince Darien of Earth? I've heard of you. You have great promise," said Queen Beryl, keeping a close eye on the prince. Darien jumped and placed himself in front of Serena to protect her. Queen Beryl smirked at the young couple, "I can see why she hangs onto you, but you're wasting your time with this twit. Why not come taste the joys of winning Darien? We'll rule the negaverse together."

"Thanks but no thanks, Beryl," Darien snapped, "why would I want to join forces with a snake like you? All twisted and ugly and full of bitterness."

Queen Beryl began enraged, "No body speaks to Queen Beryl like that!"

Behind Queen Beryl, one of her shadow warriors appeared, ready to attack the couple. Darien grabbed Serena and the two of them wrapped their arms around each other, ready to take on whatever Queen Beryl threw their way. Sailor Eros watched as Darien protected Serena and her heart shattered, he really did truly love Serena; everything he had said to her was a lie. Sailor Earth noticed the shadow warrior moving in to attack the couple and grabbed her leader and threw her to the ground for protection from the attack, knowing the destruction it could cause. A sadistic laugh escaped the shadow warrior as if lifted its hand, sending a green and black ray of power over the castle and over to the couple. The ray completely covered Darien, knocking Serena to her knees and Darien into the air.

"Darien, what is happening?" Princess Serena asked, jumping to her feet and began to run towards the edge of the balcony

"Run Serena, just run." Prince Darien pleaded with his love in attempt to keep her from harms reach

"No Darien, I want to be with you."

"No you can't, Serena don't, SERENA!"

It was too late; Princess Serena had already jumped off the balcony and was now floating in the air, heading straight towards Prince Darien. Darien extended his hand and grabbed a hold of Serena's hand. The two held onto each other, determined to stay together no matter what. The two floated in the air like this for a brief moment before the shadow warrior sent another ray of power at Prince Darien and Princess Serena, once again tearing them apart. As the attack hit the couple, they shouted each other's name before their lives were torn from their bodies.

"SERENA! NO!" Queen Serenity shouted, watching as her youngest daughter was killed by the sinister Queen Beryl, "she's taken them both!"

"No, not the princess, no." cried Luna, the royal families loyal feline companion as tears streamed from her eyes

A sadistic laugh came from Queen Beryl as she watched the two lifeless bodies float in the air, "The pretty little twit and her prince are gone! They'll never mess with me again!"

"No! Serena! No, this can't be!" Queen Serenity called out, falling to her knees. The Moon Queen lifted her crescent moon wand and rested it on her lap, she had one choice, "don't worry darling, I won't let it end like this, I won't let them take away your future."

Queen Serenity attached the Imperial Silver Crystal to the Crescent Moon Wand, a brilliant white light escaping it, and held it up to look at it carefully, knowing this was the last resort.

"Queen Serenity," Luna pleaded with her Queen, understanding the consequences of using the Silver Crystal, "if you use the Silver Crystal, you won't have any strength left."

"It's the only way Luna, I must sacrifice my kingdom if we are to regain our peace," Queen Serenity stood up and raised the crescent moon wand into the air, "Cosmic Moon Power!"

A brilliant pink light escaped the Silver Crystal and crashed right into the seven shadow warriors. Sailor Eros and the other four sailor scouts, who were charging after Queen Beryl, following their leader's blind rage, were sent crashing backwards into parts of the remains of the palace, rendering them out conscious. Screams from Queen Beryl's minions filled the air as they became incased inside the silver crystal. Moments later, Queen Beryl and her minions were gone; the war for humanity had been won; now all that remained on the Moon was death.

Moon Kingdom

Post War

The Neird Scouts stood outside of the newly reconstructed Moon Palace, proud of what they had accomplished. The four girls looked at their work and nodded in agreement, this truly was an accomplishment. Sailor Earth turned and looked at their leader, and her best friend, Rayne and gave her a friendly smile. Rayne was sitting on the floor against a pillar, lost in her own world of thoughts. She was no longer able to fight, or use her powers even if she was needed; the one thing that she felt was her purpose. There was something else troubling her mind, she was pregnant. However, she was not sure just who the father was.

-Flashback-

"Where am I?" Rayne asked, feeling her head.

Everything around her was black and dreary. Rayne began to feel her surrounding areas, she was on a bed; her body tensed up upon realizing that she was not alone. She knew she was no longer on the Earth with Darien, so where was she? A light flickered on as the body beside her began to move; she jumped when she noticed she was naked, as was the man beside her. The man was Jadeite, one of Queen Beryl's top minions. Rayne began to freak, had she slept with him? Jadeite reached over and ran his hand through Rayne's platinum locks and gave her a sinister grin.

"Don't touch me!" Rayne shouted, pushing Jadeite's hand away from her and jumped off the bed, "you come one step closer to me and I swear I'll kill you."

Jadeite laughed sadistically, "You run from her now, Rayne, but last night you could not keep your hands off me."

Rayne's world shattered around her, she did sleep with him, "There's no way in hell I would ever touch you or anyone else from the negaverse, Jadeite!"

"You cannot fight the negaverse, Rayne," Jadeite laughed as he stood and backed the obviously upset Warrior, "you see, Rayne, I simply used my own method of persuasion to get you."

Rayne's eyes widened as memories of the previous night came back to her; she never knew it was Jadeite; he had tricked her into believing that he was Darien, "You bastard! You tricked me!"

"That's what the negaverse does," Jadeite laughed as an image of the war in Neird appeared on a screen, visions of her 'death' appearing before her, "just as I tricked you, Rayne, the negaverse has your friends and your little lover boy convinced you're dead."

"NO!" Rayne shouted and fell to her knees as unbearable sobs took over her body, "DARIEN! Why would you do this? You sick bastard."

"Oh, Queen Beryl requested it. You see, Rayne, there's the prophecy that the eldest of the Moon and Earth Kingdom fall in love and get married and bring fourth the Golden Millennium," Jadeite bent down beside her and brushed a strand of hair from her face making Rayne cringe, "that's why you're here. With you here, you and the Prince can't be married and the Golden Millennium won't be brought fourth. Welcome to the Negaverse, Rayne of Eros, this is your home from now on."

-End-

"Rayne, are you alright?" Sailor Earth asked, kneeling beside her distraught friend

"No, Trinity, I am not alright," Sailor Eros replied, her voice was low. How could she be all right, knowing she could be carrying a child of pure evil, "I… I don't know whose child I'm carrying."

Sailor Earth looked at her friend alarmed, she thought for sure that the child would have been her brothers, "I don't understand, isn't Darien the father?"

Sailor Eros looked up at her friend with nothing but fear and pain in her eyes; Sailor Earth knew something was terribly wrong. Sailor Eros quickly turned her head away and buried her face in her hands. The only response she could give her worried friend was a simply shrug. Sailor Earth took a position on her knees in front of her friend and gathered Sailor Eros' hands in her own. Sailor Earth closed her eyes tightly and began to concentrate. Images of what happened to Sailor Eros played in her head as if she was the one who had been there. Once the images faded, Sailor Earth lowered her head then gathered her friend in her arms in a tight embrace. Sailor Earth closed her eyes tightly and prayed that this child was not a child of the negaverse; if it was, then they would have only one choice, destroy it, and that was the last thing she wanted to do.


That's it... for now... Thanks to everyone and the replies I have been getting for this. Who's child is it? Who does Darien REALLY love? We'll soon find out...
