Chapter Forty-Five: Costly Mistakes
A/N: I hate work
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Raye sat on her bed, rocking back and forth. Serena had been gone for eight months (It should be about December). NO ONE had seen her since that day.
::FLASHBACK::
"I will be out of your lives forever, from this day foreword. . . "
::END FLASHBACK::
A deep sob broke from her and she could no longer stop the tears. She took out her scout pin and tried to get a vision of Serena, but she hadn't been able to see anything about anything. Her second sight was gone.
She had gone to Luna about her lost ability, only to find out that her visions were connected to the power of Mars, which she had lost.
But Raye mourned the loss of her friend even more than the loss of her power. Serena had always been there when a vision had scared her or confused her. No one else had been able to soothe her fears and nerves the way Serena had. And now, a very large part of her soul was missing.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Serena sat on the throne in the long gone Moon Kingdom. Around her, ancient columns were broken and crumbling. She had set up a make shift camp at her old palace.
~Symbolic, isn't it Serena? Your palace is broken and crumbling, just like your friendships. . .and your heart~
"Heero." She whispered, but hardened herself
"You're still in love him. You know princess, it is alright to let it go. Crying will heal you and allow you to forget." A sweet, musical voice said from behind her.
Serena turned around to see someone she thought she never would.
"Lexi."
"Hime." The Golden warrior said. "I came as soon as I heard, or, when they found a way to send me, but anyway, I came to join you in an alliance towards Chaos. If you want that is?"
"A friend would be great right now. Especially one that I know will not betray me." Serena said, her voice wavering.
Galaxia had always been her favorite person, even beyond that of the scouts. Before the time of the Sailor Wars, Galaxia had spent much time on the Moon with her. They had been closer than sisters.
"I thought that. . ." Serena faltered. She didn't know how to put her question.
"I'd be possessed by Chaos and out destroying every little planet out there." At this Galaxia smiled and laughed. "Nearly, but I escaped. The gods sent me here to you when they found out that the scouts abandoned you. I would have come anyway though."
Galaxia, fondly called Lexi, walked towards her and enveloped her into a warm hug. "Let's go kick some ass."
Serena couldn't help but laugh. She wiped away her tears and quickly became Sailor Cosmos.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Cosmos and Galaxia floated in space and faced the Doom Phantom before he could reach Earth.
"Well, well. Looks like I've got company! Diamond, Sapphire! Take care of them!"
Diamond and Sapphire floated forward. "Princess Serenity. Lady Galaxia." Sapphire said politely while both of them bowed.
"Why are we never taken seriously?" Serena asked Lexi, looking really irritated.
"They know that they can't take us until we're worn down, that's why they send these guys. To wear us down."
"Oh. Okay. MOON HEALING ACTIVATION!" She shouted and send the energy towards the two brothers.
They dropped like flies.
"Well, that's one way to take care of it." Lexi said and looked more than a little surprised at Serena's go-get-um attitude.
"I don't feel like wasting time today." Serena said softly, surprised at herself. She gave Lexi a BIG smile and laughed embarrassedly.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Rini was watching the moon. It was so dark and cold now and brought her no comfort.
"Mama. Please come back. Please. We just wanted you safe, away from danger, and now you've left us completely. I realize now that Wise Man sent the dreams of your death. Please Mama, come home." She prayed over and over again, until all of her soul was instilled in the prayer.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Serena stopped fighting yomas for a minute to listen to the prayer. ~Rini. . .they did it to save me from death.~
"Sere, baby, now is not the time to think on Rini's prayer!" Galaxia shouted and blasted a yoma behind her.
"Right!" Serena said, and began fighting again.
(I'm really getting lazy about things.so, SKIPPING AHEAD)
Sailor Moon and Galaxia stood in front the now present Doom Phantom. They were bleeding from several cuts, bruised beyond what they had ever been, and extremely tired.
"Well, good to know that I've worn you down enough." He cackled evilly.
"I thought only witches did that in really stupid horror movies." Lexi said, looking at him like he'd lost his marbles.
"Apparently not." Serena said, tilting her head and blinked several times.
He stopped cackling and looked at them for a minute. "What?"
"I pictured you a lot, I don't know. . .spookier?" Lexi said, searching for a word to fit her mental image of him.
"You were taller last time." Serena mumbled. Lexi snorted at her soft comment.
"What exactly are you two getting at?"
"You're just not cut out for this job man. I mean, come on, a twelve hour marathon of Care Bears is scarier than you."
"A twelve hour marathon of Care Bears is scarier than all of the horror movies in all the dimensions combined. Of course it's scarier than him!" Lexi said, shuddering at the thought.
"True.Okay, you're less scary than."
"A talking cat." Lexi said, thinking on how Serena had reacted when Luna had first spoken to her.
"Yeah." Serena said. "HEY!"
Galaxia giggled freely at her friend.
Serena began laughing too, though she knew they were in a bad situation with an archenemy looking at them like they'd gone berserk.
Serena winked at Lexi and Lexi winked back. Gathering up all of their energy, they sent their most powerful blasts towards the unaware Phantom.
The Phantom watched the oncoming attack in awe. "So pretty." He said, mesmerized by the colors.
Serena sweat dropped drastically while Galaxia shook her head. What they weren't expecting, however, was for their attacks to go through him.
"What the!"
"Looks like Ghost boy can't take a hit." Serena said, not understanding.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Raye's head shot up from crying. She began to see where Serena was. She was floating in space as Cosmos along with Galaxia, fighting off The Doom Phantom.
She let out a yelp and rushed down stairs to be greeted with the sight of all of her friends, mopping around. "I HAD A VISION! Serena's in space fighting Galaxia with the Doom Phantom."
"Serena's joined forces with the Doom Phantom?" Amy asked, more than a little confused.
"NO! I mean, Serena's fighting the Doom Phantom with Galaxia!"
"Galaxia's joined forces with the Doom Phantom?" Taiki asked, still not understanding either.
"NO! Serena and Galaxia are fighting together against the Doom Phantom!" Raye said, understanding the first confusion, but not the second, and getting irritable.
Rini stood up from the window seat. "WELL! Where were they?"
"Not too far from the moon."
"LET'S GO!" Rini shouted and grabbed somebody's keys before anyone had a chance to get up.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Serena and Galaxia were still fighting strongly when the others got there.
"Wow, look at the go." Seyia said, surprised that Serena had that much martial talent in her.
"They're in complete synchronization with the other." Amara said, awed by the beautiful display. If it wasn't a battle, she was sure it would have been a very upbeat ballet.
"On the moon kingdom, Serena and Galaxia were very close. Closer than sisters. They constantly knew the other's mind and soul. I remember that if one was there, the other was close. Almost like one person, only with two bodies. I don't recall them ever fighting." Trista whispered, also remembering the training that they had gone through together, long before the other girls had ever become Serena's guardians.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"Looks like we've got company." Lexi shouted to Serena, over the noise of their attacks' booming.
"They should enjoy this show." Serena said half-heartedly. She was still wondering about Rini's prayer.
"Serena, you know that they did that because of dreams. You know."
"I know that now. I didn't think of it then. I didn't think of the connection between Darien's dreams and theirs. But why didn't they tell me?"
"Perhaps so they didn't alarm you. Maybe they thought you already had enough on your mind."
Serena smiled and looked at the space craft. "Thanks!"
"Hey, what are best friends for?"
"We're not best friends!" Serena shouted, transforming into Neo-Queen Serenity, her crystal glowing brightly from its place between her cupped hands.
"No?" Galaxia smiled and turned into her princess form as well, sword help high.
"We're SISTERS!" They shouted in unison and sent forward everything they had, until the light engulfed the Doom Phantom.
"I banish you from this plain of existence! In the name of the Moon and the Cosmos!"
"In the name of the Galaxy, I send you to be judged by the gods!"
"BEGONE DOOM PHANTOM!" They shouted together, sending all of their love and power out and even much of their life force, making sure that this time, he would never come back.
