Chapter 2: We Meet Again

"Ready?" Serenity asked as she turned around to everyone. They all nodded. For once, the Lunarian princess wasn't dressed in armor. She was dressed in her formal white gown and her hair was left out of it's braids. She couldn't wait to return home to her own people. She had had too much of the Martian people and needed to be around her own kind.

"Let's go." Apollo said, smiling affectionately at his daughter. Everyone stepped into the teleporter and, in a quick flash of bright white light, they were transported to the Moon. Everyone was dazed at first but snapped out of it as they stepped away from the teleporter.

"Wow. I was beginning to forget what this place looked like." Minako commented. She looked around at the large dome-shaped building that was surrounded by short walls then pillars. On the walls were painted pictures of past Lunarian families. On the wall across from the teleporter was one of the first Lunarian family, the one next to that of the one fifty years later, the one next to that of the one the next seventy years, and finally there was one of the most recent family.

"I remember getting that painted. It was such a horror." Serenity commented, looking at the painting. Her beautiful mother, Queen Serenity, sat on a red velvet chair wearing a long silver gown. Behind her stood her husband wearing a formal white suit with gold and all of his medals from the wars he fought in. To Queen Serenity's right stood a young 10-year-old Princess Serenity wearing her formal white gown much like the one she wore on this very day. Finally, on the left of their mother stood a 4-year-old Prince Leo wearing blue trousers and a matching blue shirt. This happened to be painted a scarce week before the invasion of the Moon happened that tore Leo away from Serenity, and Queen Serenity away from life.

"This is the last remaining memory of your mother." Apollo commented, coming up from behind his daughter. She sighed and placed her head on his shoulder.

"We should get going." Minako announced. Apollo and Serenity broke out of their shared daze and led the group through the royal gardens and into the palace. Each senshi felt memories of their pasts in this palace flow through them. They used to spend so much time in it because their mission in life was to protect the Princess of the Moon. They had spent more time here then at their own homes at times.

"It feels so wonderful to finally be home." Serenity told them, inhaling the sweet Moon air.

"It's funny. It feels like I've returned home as well." Ami said with a slight smile as she looked around.

"Yeah. It's the same for me as well." Makoto added.

"Here, allow me." Apollo said, opening the door for the women to allow them entry to the palace. To their surprise, there were servants rushing here and there, working.

"I don't recall leaving orders for them to keep on working." Serenity said.

"They don't even notice we're here. No one's even looked over at us. It's as if we're ghosts." Makoto said.

"That's silly. They're just hard at work." Queen Maria told them.

"Mother's right. I mean, they're supposed to be trained to do that." Rei backed up for her mother.

"I'm going up to my room. I want to see if everything is still there." Serenity told them, picking up her skirts and going up the staircase. Every servant that passed her didn't seem to even acknowledge her presence. If she was in their way, they're just go around her as if she was just a wall or something. But Serenity ignored it as she neared her room. With a sigh, she gripped the gold handle and turned it, the door opening.

"So lovely to see you again." A husky voice said. Serenity gasped, reaching at her side for the sword that she just then realized wasn't there.

"Who's there?" Serenity called, stepping into the room. She screamed as the door slammed shut behind her. "Show yourself!" Serenity demanded. Prince Endymion slid off her bed and stood in the light where she could see him.

"My, my, my aren't you demanding." He said. Her eyes narrowed.

"You." She said.

"Yes, it's me. Me with you locked in your room." He said with a mischievous glint in his eyes. Serenity caught the glint and her eyes narrowed more.

"You're sick." She spat. He ignored her as he walked towards her, looking her up and down. She noticed this as well and scoffed. "How dare you look at me like that! I'm the Princess of the Universe, a rank much higher then yours! You should be on your knees around me!" She said, holding her head high. He just grinned and stepped directly in front of her.

"That would be a nice title for me: 'King Endymion of the Universe'. Has a lovely ring to it, don't you agree?" He asked her.

"If you think that I'd ever marry you, you're wrong! You're just a sick, perverted bastard." Serenity said.

"Such foul language to be coming from such a beautiful mouth." Endymion said, looking down at her lips. Without any warning, he swooped in to get a taste of her lips, his arms going around her waist and crushing her against him. She pushed and tried to pull her lips away but he put a hand behind her head, keeping it where he wanted it. She nearly gagged as his tongue forced it's way into her mouth. A thought entered her mind and right away she acted on it. She bit as hard as she could on his tongue. He ripped away from her, holding his mouth. Serenity couldn't help but grin smugly.

"That's what you get." She said like a little child telling on her sibling.

"You're smart little princess, but not smart enough." Endymion told her. "Because, you see, you left your people. They fled to me because they want revenge on their precious little princess that abandoned them. The Moon has been under my ruling for the past six years! They all love me and hate you. Why, right now, you're precious father and those senshi of yours are getting attacked. I've had this planned for so long." He grinned.

"No!" She cried, turning around quickly and flying to the door, trying her hardest to open it. She rammed into it hard but it didn't even budge. Endymion chuckled at her actions.

"Such strong actions are in vain, my dear. For you see, you're bound in here with me. For the past four years I've been waiting for this exact moment. For the moment when you'd return and break away from the protection of the senshi and be lured to your own room. There I would wait for you and lock you in here while they all died. Then I'd force you to marry me and I'd become the King of the Universe!" Endymion told her. She spun around quickly, glaring at in. Within a second, he was on the ground, having been tackled by her.

"How could you do this? You're so heartless! I hate you! You must die!" She cried through her tears of wrath, punching, scratching, and kicking him all over. She was very surprised when she was flipped over, the Earth Prince hovering over her.

"You're a spiteful little thing, aren't you?" He more like told her then asked. He grinned as she struggled against his strong hold, his hands holding her arms above her head and his legs keeping her own down. "You should make for an interesting bed mate."

"You're the sickest man alive! How dare you do such a thing to me? Are you aware that I could kill you at this very moment?" She shouted at him. "Could you really? With what, pray say? That little Silver Crystal thing?" He let out a deep laugh. "My dear, the Golden Crystal can math the power of your own crystal, maybe even beat it. You haven't ever used it so you wouldn't be able to use it properly. I, on the other hand, know very well how to use my crystal and I can easily knock you back where you belong; on your back."

"Are you going to keep on making these cheap perverted jokes until you get what you want? Because I'll promise you that you'll never get anything more from me then that kiss you stole not but moments ago. So I hope you enjoyed it because you won't ever get one from me again. I'm going to remain chaste until the day I die. I don't need a man to rule beside me. When my brother marries, he and his wife will produce the heir to our throne and I will continue to rule without a man because I don't need one! I won't ever give one of you arrogant princes the chance to become king of this universe so stop trying. I'm the rightful ruler of this universe and I'll re" She was cut off by Endymion's lips descending on her own. She tried to scream but his lips muffled it. But suddenly, the sound of a scream broke him away from her.

"Did you hear that?" He asked with a devilish grin.

"That sounded like Minako." She said, looking at the door with wide eyes. Endymion got off her and grinned as she stood up dumbly, her face in complete shock. There was another scream and she shut her eyes tight, her hands flying to her ears. The screams became constant and soon she was shaking and crying. Endymion was caught off guard by this and watched her as she fell onto her bed and curled up into a shaking ball. Her lips were moving in unspoken words as she hugged her knees to her chest, tears falling fast from her eyes.

"Your highness!" A voice called from outside. Endymion strode over to the door and opened it simply. "Your highness, we're under attack. But not from the senshi. It's something else."
