Chapter 6: HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLES! Hai! I am TRULY back with our adventure of a moon Millennium. Well READ ON!


After one more month of "pain", the five went back home, for it was now their winter vacation. Prince Darien and the four generals went back also. After that, Princess Serena got a bit lonely, but as days went by... spring was coming closer.

Meanwhile, far, far away, King Soul was making a plan to rule the moon. He decided that the only way was through Princess Serenity. He grinned at his new plan, for he decided that his attack would be on Princess Serenity's birthday.

Spring came quickly. They spent another spring of hardship and were looking forward to Serena's next birthday. That day would be special for Serena for she would be having a masked costume party.

It wasn't long before June 30th came rolling in. Serena decided she'd just stay as a princess. Her small white gown with matching glittering mask didn't really hide her... for her meatballs stayed the same. But she didn't mind. Serena was eager to see how the others dressed. ...

"Luna, can I ask you something?" Serena asked.
"Of course Serena."
"Do betrothed people have to get married? What if they like someone else?" Serena asked.
Luna's eyes were wide.

"Why... why do you say that suddenly young princess? Do you have someone else in mind other that Prince Mortality?" she asked with fear. For if their love wasn't growing... everything would be chaos.

"Oh... of course not." Serena lied. "I was just curious."

"Oh, well... well then, yes I guess. If they are betrothed by their parent's wish, then they'd have to get married." Luna replied with still a nervous look on her face. Before they could say anything more, Serena's Nana came in.

"Oh Serenity dear... you're hair is messed up. I told you you couldn't be able to do it all by yourself." She exclaimed. Nana's fair gray hair made her look so homey with her plump face and body. Serena loved Nana, for she was always there to help her. ...

"I think it looks fine." Serena complained as Nana undid her hair. Nana smiled at the young princess.

"Well... I wouldn't want your hair all chaotic for Prince Mortality would you?" she asked in her delightful voice.

"Oh... oh yeah. Prince Mortality." She sighed. "Of course not. Everything must be perfect."


That night, Prince Darien struggled with his costume. He had accidentally cut his costume with a pair of scissors and was in desperate need of a costume. Darien heaved a sigh. "Shit!" No matter... I still have the mask. And I guess I'll be wearing my new tuxedo. Maybe Nick will let me borrow his cape and top hat. He muttered to himself. He was already late for the costume party, as he struggled into his new costume.

Meanwhile on the first floor, many were dressed in their costumes. The four princesses had decided to wear similar costumes, making them look like sisters. They were all butterflies; each with a pair of wings the color of their planet's national color. They glittered because of the reflecting light. ...

It wasn't long before the dancing began as the princesses danced with their dancing partners from the Moon Shine Academy. They were especially good with the waltz and Princess Serena never stepped on Nicholas's feet.

Right in the middle of a dance, the sky darkened once more and the glass windows shattered, shaking the crystal chandeliers. "Oh no... King Soul..." Queen Serenity gasped as she stood up, holding onto her Imperium Silver Crystal.

"What is it this time, King Soul? Didn't you learn your lesson the last time you paid us a visit? NOW LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!" she ordered.

"Hello Queen Serenity..." King Soul said calmly. Then he looked at Serena. "... And Princess Serenity. I see you have grown a year older. May I wish you a happy birthday." Princess Serenity closed her eyes as she remembered the dark shadows. Her eyes flooded with tears. ...

"Have you changed your mind my queen? May I have your daughter's hand?" King Soul asked. Queen Serenity's mouth was a thin line of fury.

"Never. My daughter will have nothing to do with your wicked evil plans. She is already betrothed to the Prince of Earth now LEAVE!"

King Soul frowned and yet, a small grin appeared. "Suit yourselves." He said simply. With that, Princess Serenity disappeared into thin air, as she reappeared in front of King Soul with a flick of his hand. Serena burst into tears as she started screaming. King Soul grabbed the princess's arm as he ran off into the storm.

By this time, Prince Darien had finally gotten into his costume and was walking down the stairs towards the ballroom when he heard Serena's scream. His ears became alert, knowing that something terrible had just happened. ...

He ran towards the window as fast as he could andhe saw King Soul dragging the soaked, muddy Serena. He frowned, knowing that it'll be too late before he could get there. And so, he climbed up to the windowsill and jumped onto a nearby tree. The storm raged as lightning and rain came thundering down.

He climbed from tree limb to tree limb, keeping a close eye on the two.

King Soul yanked Serena's arm, making her cry harder. "Stop crying, little girl. I am only asking you to marry me. If you say yes, then I'll become the nicest man and buy you candy and presents every single day." He said, forcing his voice to be soft and kind. Tears ran down Serena's cheeks as she frowned.

"NO! You're a very bad and mean man. YOU'LL PROBABLY POISON THE DAMN CANDY BEFORE YOU GIVE IT TO ME!" she screamed as she slapped his face really hard. King Soul growled as he held Serena's arm tighter, making Serena scream louder. "SOME ONE PLEASE HELP MEEEEEE!!!!!" Serena screamed as tears were coming down her face. She was frightened & scared....

Suddenly out of no where, something flashed, scratching King Soul's hand, making him lose his grip on Serena.

"SHUT UP, KING SOUL! PRINCESS SERENITY WILL NEVER BE YOUR BRIDE, ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR DISGUSTING, DESPICABLE MANNER AND SOUL!" cried a voice. Serena looked at the flash as she saw that it was a red rose.

Then she looked around, trying to see where the voice was coming from. Lightning struck as it lighted the sky. And that's when both King Soul and Princess Serena saw a young man in a black tuxedo, cape, a top hat and a white mask.

"WHO ARE YOU TO CHALLENGE ME?" King Soul thundered as he took out his sword…..

From the tree, Prince Darien didn't know what to say. He didn't really want to tell him his identity. So... he looked at himself and remembered his costume.

"I-I... I'm Tuxedo... Mask! I am Tuxedo Mask and I demand you let the princess go!" He cried as he threw another rose. He always had a good aim and the rose hit King Soul, making a deep cut onto his face. Blood slowly dripped as Serena screamed even louder.

By this time, the four young generals came, along with Prince Nicholas.

"Unhand her!" Nicholas ordered, pulling out his sword. King Soul chuckled evilly as he said, You're a fool to challenge me, young man."

Nicholas glared at the man. "I'm known as the best swordsmen in the Solar System. ...

"I don't want to fight you. I just want to win." With that, he grabbed the princess and placed the sword blade right below her chin and he covered her mouth with his other hand, stopping her from screaming. Tears flooded down her cheeks, which made Nicholas really angry. He was about to charge, but Soul stopped him. "Uh, uh, uh. Attack me and the princess loses her head."

"COWARD!" Nicholas growled. But the smart princess knew better and bit Soul's thumb as hard as she ever could. The King shouted in pain as Serena fell &punched him in the stomach, even if her punches were weak.

Nicholas ran and grabbed Serena, pulling her behind him for safety. The four generals charged with their swords and Malachite managed to give King Soul's arm a cut. King Soul grabbed Malachite's neck, but Zoisite kicked Soul on the back, making him release him.

Queen Serenity and King Mortality with more of their guards came running towards them. "MOON COSMIC -." ...

IT'S NOT OVER YET, YOUR HIGHNESS!" King Soul suddenly yelled after flinging each general against a tree. The guards were about to attack, but King Mortality stopped them. "Now... I want you all to know, that before Princess Serenity turns 14 (In the Silver Millennium, when the age of a princess becomes 14, she has a right to actually fall in love), she will never carry out your plans with Prince Nicholas. Instead, she'll be mine and mine only. This is a curse, for those who do not understand. And a curse's word is as strong as the purest diamond. I have said my word." With that, King Soul disappeared.

Queen Serenity ran to her daughter as she gave her a hug of fear and worry. Princess Serena stopped crying as she looked up at the tree. The masked man, Tuxedo Mask was gone. 'Who was the guy.......' Serena thought.


Prince Darien had climbed back into the window. He was soaking wet and was glad that no one was around, for everyone had rushed to where the princess was. He went back to his room and changed into something drier.

As he went back down and joined his brother and everyone else, he listened as Serena told them about the masked man who had thrown a rose and saved her life. Darien grinned. ...

"You missed it all, brother." Nicholas said.

Darien shrugged. "So?Who cares?The princess is all right & safe, isn't she?" Serena frowned and stuck her tongue out at Darien..

She was kinda mad that Darien didn't care about her Dissaperence.

"You know Darien... you are such a coward and you're sooo slow! This whole time you were busy getting dressed! I bet you're not a tenth of what Tuxedo Mask is." Serena pouted. Darien tried to hide his smile with a frown.

"Hmph..." was all he cansay. ' I know something that you guys will NEVER find out about.' He said to him self as a smirk came across his face.
