Alright, FINALLY A NEW CHAPTER! I'm trying to keep the scouts revival stories short, but thorough (if that make sense), so if something seems like it's missing detail, I'm sorry, but I don't want to have six chapters of just scout revivals. Besides, I'm sure you want to know what's happening with Serena, right?
It rained that night. The news said it was the heaviest rainfall recorded in over ten years, but Darien didn't mind the cold water that splashed on his face, and dripped into his eyes. He didn't mind the chill of the stormy winds biting at his bones. He only cared about one thing. The rain did nothing more to Darien, but hide the tears that fell silently from his eyes. They were unseen and unknown to all but him...
Ami gasped as the memories of her past life came flooding in all at once. She was on Mercury, the planet that now, was no more than a large rock of ice, but when her family reigned, it was so much more.
"Ami...AMI!" Her mother's sweet voice called out to her, when she was nothing but a small child of seven years.
"Yes mamma" Ami smiled brightly as she ran into her mother's arms. She giggled lightly when her mother ran her fingers through her long blue hair, tickling her scalp.
"Ami, do you remember what day it is today?" Ami looked up into her mother's eyes thoughtfully. Then, suddenly she remembered the conversation they had no more than a week earlier.
(Flashback)
"Ami, my brave little girl, please don't cry...I know you don't want to leave, but you have to. You're special dear, more special than all the little girls on this planet"
Ami roughly rubbed the tears from her eyes. "But mamma, I don't want to leave you and daddy" She balled her hands into small fist at her sides as she looked at her mother with a pout"
"I know honey, but your destiny is bigger than Mercury, you must leave her, you must go to the Moon, I know that you are too young to understand now, but one day you will understand, your father and I love you, but you are needed by the whole universe, one day baby, I swear you will understand"
(End Flashback)
Ami nodded her head slowly up and down as tears began to fall from her eyes, today was the day she would go to the Moon, and become a Sailor Scout.
Ami hugged her mother tightly, and gave her father a kiss on the cheek as they both stood strong and said goodbye to their little girl. They didn't know if they would ever see her again, and they were dying inside, but if they cried, it would only make it harder for Ami. No, they wouldn't cry, they wanted their little girl to see them happy...she would remember then when they were all together, and happy.
"Princess Ami, we must leave, the transport will be departing soon" Ami nodded her head to the tall woman that now held her hand, she wasn't her mother, but her kind green eyes made Ami feel safe.
"Goodbye Mommy, Daddy, I Love you!" She waved again, somehow knowing she would never see her parents again.
"Momma...Daddy..." Ami let the words escape her lips as her eyes began to water, but she had no time to grieve as more memories flooded her mind.
"Princess Serena! I caught you" She giggled in a large garden of roses as she played tag with the Moon princess and her fellow Sailor Scouts"
Serena snickered at Ami, and then dove at Raye, yelling loudly.
"I GOT YOU NOW YOU'RE IT!" Raye frowned, and began to chase the princess around the yard, angry that she had been beaten by the small blond. They were all enjoying themselves, when the Queen appeared and interrupted their game of tag.
"Girls, I must speak with Ami for a moment, please, excuse us." Ami looked up into the queens sky blue eyes, and knew something was wrong. She knew the Queen too well, since she had become somewhat of a mother to her since she had been brought to the Moon five years ago. Serenity offered her hand to Ami, and she accepted, being lead to into the Queen's own personal chambers. It was their that the Queen told Ami of the attack on Mercury by the people of the dark moon, and how her planet was now void of life...including her parents. The small girl began to cry harshly.
"But, BUT I'M A SAILOR SCOUT!" The Queen brought the small child into her lap, knowing that it must be so hard to have so much power, and so little control.
Later that night, Ami looked at her new short blue hair approvingly in her chamber's mirror, satisfied with the new length as she set down a pair of silver scissors.. Tomorrow, she would throw herself into her training completely, and nothing, not even her long hair would get in her way. She would never let another person the loved get hurt, because she wasn't ready to fight, she would become powerful, and leave games behind, next time she would be ready. Ami began to pick up the strands of long blue hair that lay on the bathroom floor, planning on studying the history of the scouts when she was done.
Ami's eyes began to water suddenly, and once again Luna felt pity for the young Sailor Scouts. It wasn't enough that they had witness so much pain in their lives, but having to relive it all over again, well it was too much for Luna to imagine.
"MERCURY, MERCURY LOOK OUT!" The voice belonged to Lita, Sailor Jupiter, and Ami's heart stopped as she remembered the scene before her. The scouts, had fallen. The battle was long and violent, and in the end, Beryl had destroyed the scouts with the only weapon she could use against them. Love.
"JUPITER!" Ami screamed as a powerful blast that was headed for her, ripped through her best friends body. Sailor Jupiter had sacrificed her own life for Mercury's. Ami fell to her knees shedding desperate tears as she cradled her friend's lifeless body in her arms. There was no reason left to fight, her friends were gone, the Queen was too weak to continue, and she had been betrayed by the only man she had ever loved, but she couldn't let Lita's death be in vain.
"Wh...Why?" she chocked out between sobs as the shadow of her lover, Zoisite. He looked at her blankly, as if he was not controlling his body before charging another energy bolt, and aiming it at the blue haired girl in front of him. Ami looked at Lita's limp form one more time before suddenly charging all her remaining energy into one last attack.
The ice from Mercury, and the energy all from Zoisite met briefly in the middle as they passed though each other, each attack heading for it respective target.
"Zoisite, Lita must be avenged, but I gladly die if I can not be with you" Ami whispered the words, and swore she saw a glint of regret as Zoisite's body was consumed in ice, and Mercury's body was ripped apart by fire.
"A..Ami chan?" Luna asked softly as she looked at the young girl that still sat her knees quietly, with silent tears streaming down her face. Ami suddenly sniffled, and roughly wiped the tears from her eyes, and took a deep breath before standing to her feet with a new determination in her eyes.
"Luna, Artemis, we have work to do"
"ARGHHHHHH!" Lita let out a loud growl of pain and agony as she let her fist fly into a nearby wall, living a nice sized dent in the process. Beryl. It was that evil bitch that had stolen away her happiness on the moon, that evil name that had destroyed her home planet Jupiter and left it an inhabitable ball of dirt. It was her that had taken away her Nephrite. Her sweet dear Nephrite.
"Is it the Negeverse, AGAIN?" Her voice rose with rage as she spoke, wanting only to cause pain to whatever had once again disrupted the lives of her and her friends.
"No, we don't believe so, whatever this enemy is, they seem to have a personal objective."
"Which would be what?" Once again her voice was like a horrible storm that would explode the sky with lightening at any moment.
"Serena, it seems like whatever this enemy is, it wants Serena...Ami's working on gathering information right now, but we must hurry, it seems that ... Serena's gone missing"
Lita's eyes went wide with shock. "Who's left to awaken?"
"Just Rei is left."
"Then let's go get Pyro, and save our Princess!"
"Serenity...Princess Serenity" Serena stirred slightly as she heard a name being called in the distance. She thought she recognized the voice, even the name, but it didn't make sense, were they calling her? Groggily, she began the open her heavy eyelids, and try to take in her surrounding. She appeared to be in a large hotel room, in a private penthouse suite, but how I get here? Slowly, she rose to her feet, and took several shaky steps towards a large window, and moved back the large heavy burgundy drapes, only to reveal that the window had been boarded up, letting only a sliver of daylight pass through the window.
"Serenity" Serena spun on her heals towards the voice that had just spoken that familiar name. There stood a handsome man, with green eyes, and snow white hair. Although he was obviously a very attractive man, and his facial expression almost seemed to say "trust me" Serena, felt uneasy and nervous under is heated gaze.
"Who...are you?" She asked softly, not knowing where she was, or who the man was that stood before her. He let a soft chuckle escape his lips as his eyes glinted with a light that seemed to say "victory".
"My love, you do not remember who I am, you must have bumped your head very hard in deed!" Serena gently touched the top of her head, but could find no bump or sore spot indicating that she had injured herself. Then she remembered something, why was he calling her Serenity?
"Why, who is Serenity, my name is Serena" Once again he let a soft chuckle escape his lips, but he hesitated momentarily, as if to find a fast explanation.
"Serena, is your middle name, but your true name is Serenity, Serenity Tsukino" Tsukino, the name sounded just as familiar to her as Serena, but the rest of the story, did not sit well in her heart, something was not right.
"I, I don't remember, maybe I should go to a hospital? So I can get checked out." He frowned.
"No, that isn't necessary, you'll be fine, it was just a bum to the head, it's probably just temporary." No, was obviously his answer to the hospital visit, but why, what if there was brain damage...if she had hit her head at all. Something just seemed so...out of place.
"Well then, maybe I can go outside, for air?
"Tomorrow maybe, for now, just rest" His answer was swift and final, as he gently pushed her into the soft linens of the king sized hotel bed, and planted a soft kiss on her lips. She noticed that although he spoke to her as if they had always been lovers, the kiss was awkward, and unsure, like it had been their first, but it held none of the fire of a first kiss between lovers, quite to the contrary, it was cold, and at least on her side, it was unwanted.
"Serenity, are you alright, you look like something's bothering you" The man asked her, concern laced his voice. Serena scrambled for an answer.
"I'm fine, it's just... I don't even know your name." His emerald green eyes held a hint of surprise for a moment, then he chuckled softly to himself, as if being amused by his own inside joke.
"My name, is Shigo"
"Shigo..." She repeated the name, hoping it would trigger a memory, but she felt nothing but a confusing sense of dread.
"Now, my little bunny, sleep" His last command seemed to overpower her nervous mind, and ease her into an uncomfortable sleep.
"Serena...Serena?" She could hear a voice calling out to her in her hazy mind, but she just couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from.
"SERENA!" The voice sounded frantic now, like it would die if she wouldn't answer, so she did.
"Who are you? Where are you?" She called out into the darkness that was her mind.
"Serena...I was so worried, are you ok?" It was a male voice, she could tell that much. He seemed relieved to know she was ok, and that made her feel safe, something she hadn't felt since she woke up in her new strange surroundings.
"Yes, I'm fine but who are you?" The voice gasped slightly, and a vision came to her mind of a man with black hair and dark blue eyes, gasping as her shoe hit him in the head.
"Darien, you know who I am Serena, I'm Darien" There was a silent pause as she tried to remember, but she just couldn't, as if some part of her mind was being blocked from her.
"I...I don't know who you are." There was another pause, then the voice came back, now full of resolve.
"It doesn't matter right now, where are you Serena?"
"I...I don't know..." There was another long pause, then the voice spoke again.
"Serena, you have to open your mind to me, and I will find you, I swear."
"I don't understand, I'm safe, right...with Shigo"
"SHIGO?" The voice bellowed, stirring Serena in her sleep.
"Serena, get away from him, he's dangerous, I don't know what he's done to you, but don't trust him."
"But..He says he loves me, he said we we've been together, and I just bumped my head, I don't remember but it'll come back!" She let the words race out of her mouth, as her voice reached a pitch that she had never heard before.
"Serena...it's all a lie. You, belong to me." The statement was final and firm. She, belonged to him? But who was he?
"Serenity, darling, wake up" It was Shigo, she knew he was trying to wake her, but she wasn't ready to wake up yet, she needed to know who this "dream guy" was.
"He's calling me, I have to go now, but please, let me see your face"
"I can't, I don't know how, I don't even know how I'm in your dreams now, but just remember to keep your mind open to me, and I will find you.
"Serena...my little bunny, we have to make arrangements my love" She could feel his cool hands gently shaking her out of her slumber.
"When will I see you?" She asked the voice softly.
"Very soon."
"Serena, we are to be married in a week, we must make arrangements." MARRIED?
"What!" She screeched out of total shock as she jumped from the bed, now completely awake. It was then that she noticed the large diamond solitaire ring, set in gold, with two half moons holding the diamond in place, on her hand. Shigo just chuckled.
"Yes Serena, don't you remember when I proposed to you, and you said yes."
"MARRIED!" Darien yelled as he rose from the bed. Shukoroshi jumped at the loud noise, from his position in the office chair in the other room. They had been looking for any news sightings of a girl that matched Serena's description, when Darien fell asleep on the couch in the living room.
" Darien, what are you talking about?
"Shigo, he's going to marry Serena!"
"But, how...how do you?"
"I don't know, I just fell asleep, then I was in her dreams"
"But, she wouldn't marry him, she doesn't love him" Darien smiled bitter sweetly.
"She doesn't remember she doesn't love him...we have to find her."
Alright, so it took me FOREVER to get this chapter out...Sorry :) It sucks too doesn't it! Anyway, after I finish my other story I will be writing another chapter to this one, I foresee at least three more chapters, since they still haven't found Serena. Leave reviews, and visit my page http/
