Damn 20 hour train ride! And damn dialup! Sorry for the delay, here is the beginning of the final few chapters, yes the story ends soon, I would love to hear your input on what you think will happen..that way..I can make it better. (yes I DO have an ending, lol, and I don't think im changing it.

Oh yes yes yes, I do NOT own Sailor moon..I just make stories that would never actually happen in the series about it..ahem..yes.. ___________________________________________________________________________

"I want to show you something..." The dark Pegasus said with a soft tone starting towards what appeared a palace.

"What is it?" Rini whispered as she glanced ahead, a curious glance appearing in her eyes as they where getting closer.

"it's a surprise..." a small chuckle escaping towards her as it flew faster, looking down now , she saw that there was no light at all, it seemed as if the ground has turned into a bottomless pit. but then she gasped

"do you hear screaming?" Rini asked quickly, her eyes seeming to come into focus now, as if coming out of a hypnotic state, beginning to panic, but the dark Pegasus shook it's head

"Yes, i am going to show you the cause...that is why i brought you here my little maiden, to help me...Pay no attention to the sounds...they are just a nightmare, if you wish to call it that." if the Pegasus could smirk, it would have, reaching a large window and flying through. its hooves clicking softly as it touched the dark marble floor and glanced around.

"Come now, we must hurry..." Rini stayed on it folded it's wings closely to its sides "Hold on. wouldn't want you to fall.." The tone that was spoken was one that sounded rather uncaring, but none the less, Rini nodded, seeming to slip back into that veil of hypnotism and said nothing else as she grasped around its neck.

*** (meanwhile)

Small gasps where heard as a girl ran down a darkened path, turning around and seeing a strange creature follow after her close behind.

"Leave me alone!"

Small laughter was all that was given as a response to her. They caught up to her and chuckled, leaping onto her back, a few others throwing ropes towards her legs, and once secured around her ankles, they pulled back, giving small laughs.

"ow! your hurting me. stop please!" Her form hitting the ground hard and feeling as the branches and sharp objects that lay upon it, cut deeply. ____________________________________________________________________________

..."Doctor...look at this.." a nurse said as they watched one of the patients who had the illness. Small cuts started to appear form nowhere on her hands her legs, her arms, suddenly the once silent form gasped and let out a scream of pain, the heart monitor was giving its beeps at a quickening pace.

____________________________________________________________________________

"Please! don't!" she screamed out as she grasped the edge of a cliff, the shadow like creatures giggled and then one stuck out its foot, stomping hard on her small fingers and waved a little wave as she screamed out, falling down towards the dark ocean.

Beep, beep. beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

"She's...gone sir" The nurse said frightened as she looked up at he mans face, he shook his head, glancing around, more reports of spontaneous injuries where appearing with all of the cases now.

"This is getting serious..." He looked at the lifeless child and shook his head." take her out of here... The children are actually believing what's happening to them inside there ..dreams"

"Sir?" the nurse asked being rather a sceptic

"If they are hurt in there dreams, there mind perceives it as really happening, and so, causes the physical body to become injured. in this case, she must have had sever trauma, and it caused her heart to fail.If we don't wake everyone up soon. there will be more cases" Sighing as he put the sheet over the girls head as a stretcher came and shook his head, glancing around at the other children, and now, adults, then not knowing what else to say as he headed out of the room.

Elios glanced upwards weakly as he heard quick hoof beats headed towards him, glancing around the rooms seeing a few people he recognized.all the scouts where here now, he had watched as they had been one by one dragged in and put on display just like him, chained to the wall, but they where all stuck in there own nightmares. Even the queen had fallen under the mischievous child's spell..there was no hope..

Wishing to reach out and help them, but nothing came, and then he gasped, as he felt suddenly a piece of him being ripped out, the loss of that child's life had took a lot out of him, tears flooding his eyes again, wishing it all to stop.

The sound of the oncoming horse slowed to a stop at the entrance to the room, a light began to fill the room, but..it wasn't one that shone towards him, no, this light cut through him, and burned, wincing as he strained to look up, seeing the dark Pegasus..and..Rini!!

He tried to call out.but his voice was lost as he felt himself start to slip into the world of darkness himself.

"Pegasus.why are you." Rini asked looking towards Helios and then around the room, seeing her mother, father, and her friends all chained to the wall, wondering why, seeming to become frightened.

"They are not who they appear to be. they are what is causing the pains of this world, they are...killing me Little maiden, they wish to destroy me. They are the darkness and I am the light! You must destroy them.please my love."

Rini slowly climbed off of the back of the dark Pegasus, looking it over, and then turned to the supposed impostors. Her gaze stopping at Helios, not knowing what to say.

Slowly, Helios glanced up, his gaze meeting hers, he saw no love towards him, a confused little girl, who was being controlled..reaching out , wishing he could, knowing this was really her, but unable to call out, to tell her she was being fooled, tricked. His life, rested in her hands..her belief.

"Hurry, he is weakened now from our love for me! Take this.." the dark Pegasus shook its head and pointed towards a small stand, a sword held on it, it had not been there when they entered but then again, this was a place, where anything was possible, so long as you wished it to be.

She turned her gaze, looking towards the sword, and started slowly for it. Seeing the shine of the blade, and the decorated handle, reaching out, and placing her hand upon it not in any hurry, even with her fake beloved chanting on and on within her mind to do it quickly.

Picking up the sword she turned and started towards the two, standing in the middle as she glanced back and forth.

"Don't you love me? don't you wish to save me, then do it now!" the dark Pegasus stomped a hoof down hard, a crack in the marble floor appearing. this frightened her a bit, backing towards Helios a moment, her eyes seeming to come to again, coming out of the spell.

"I do love.I love.." turning to look towards the weakened and pain stricken Helios, seeing his glance as he watched her, awaiting the inevitable..

"I love Pegasus, I love Helios!" She cried out, now unknowing, Helios would never command her to do something, he wouldn't expect her to kill! The screams starting to etch towards her mind, feeling the pain of the children, of the parents, of the people who where now in this nightmare!

"It will all end if you just kill him! Rini do this Now!"

She turned towards Helios and shook her head, wishing to know, what to do? Searching his gaze for his wishes.why didn't HE say anything, if he was really the bad guy..where was the proof..

She reached into her pocket slowly, pulling out the small, golden star compass, gently caressing the lid with her fingertips, her other hand still grasping the sword.but it would not glow, holding it out "Where is Pegasus?!" she commanded it to show her."where is my Helios.?" She wished it where the dark Pegasus.wishing it where him, for he was alright, he had kept her safe from the darkness, he had said he loved her! But the look upon the chained

And this compass Peraru had said, would lead her to him, show her where he was!

.slowly the compass started to move, the light going from one side, to the other quickly as her beliefs changed frantically

And then, it suddenly stopped facing towards... ____________________________________________________________________________ __
