Chapter 5: The Search for Truth and True Love; Does Love Conquer All?

Serena transformed into Sailor Moon and stalked off into the night. She searched every empty alley and lot for Darien. She called his name. Nothing.

All of a sudden, from inside a dark park she heard Diamond call to her, "Serena! I found Tuxedo Mask." Didn't he mean Darien? Then she remembered, Darien's transformations were triggered by her own. "This means he still wants to protect me, to believe me. This means there's still hope." Sailor Moon began to sprint as hard and fast as her legs could carry her. "I'm coming, Darien," she breathed.

She reached the jungle gym at the center of the park and huffed. Two Tuxedo Masks battled in front of her eyes.

"Diamond! Which one of you is Diamond?" Each pointed silently to the other. "Fine! Diamond you're supposed to be helping me. Do you think if you kill him, I'll never be able to tell the difference?"

"Change of plans, my love." Serena couldn't tell which man that came from. Damn! She thought to herself. Now what? Wait! I know!

"Tuxedo Mask, the real Tuxedo Mask, do you love me?"

"Yes," apparently that fool Diamond had planned on Darien saying the same thing at the same time; he didn't.

"Good answer," Serena mocked him, "Prince Diamond."

"Damn!" he exclaimed and became himself again.

"Moon Healing Escalation!" A ray of light hit Diamond, maybe it could help him see the light and help Serena save her love.

"Was that supposed to make me all nice and help Darien?" Diamond laughed.

"Well, yeah, kinda." Serena shouted, "Oh well, Moon Crisis Power!" Her Crystal Moon Compact became the Holy Moon Chalice as she transformed into Super Sailor Moon. Then, "Diamond, I'm sorry to do this-Moon Gorgeous Meditation. A brilliant beam of hearts and lights came at Prince Diamond. He screamed and disinegrated; he was back where he belonged.

Super Sailor Moon turned to Tuxedo Mask, "Darien." She walked toward him. A red rose flew and hit her in the arm, but she walked on. "Darien." Another rose hit her leg; her walk wavered, but slowly she continued. I have to reach him, even if it kills me.

She reached him and shoved her hands through the purple fire-wall. It burned, but she wrapped her arms around Tuxedo Mask's body.

"Don't touch me," he finally spoke, but it was in warning.

Still, he had spoken. Super Sailor Moon became the Moon Princess Serenity and hugged him tighter. The barrier around him flared up and began to electricute her. She cried out as tears dripped from her eyes.

"Stop it! You'll die, you idiot!" Darien screamed at her.

"I can't! Damnit, Darien. I would never cheat on you. I thought Diamond was you. I don't love Diamond; I destroyed him. Haven't I always been faithful? If you don't forgive me, Rini and Crystal Tokyo will die!" She shouted. She looked deep into Darien's blue eyes and whispered, "If you don't forgive me, I'll die. I'm so sorry, Darien." She fell to her knees, too weak to stand the pain any longer.

Darien transormed into Prince Endymion. The flame-barrier vanished and he held his princess tightly, "I love you, Serena." He stroked her smooth face; her cheek conformed to his hand like the arched back of a kitten

"And I will always love you, Darien," she managed.

They became entangled in a deep kiss. It was hard and soft, slow and passionate all at once. It energized and exhilerated Princess Serenity. Endymion's lips played thirsty to Serenity's willing mouth . She reveled in the tantilizing pressure in the kiss. She bit her lip to stop from ecstatic shivering, but it didn't work. Fire shot through their bodies.

Darien pulled back slowly, too slowly, unable to breathe this close to his true love, "Let's go home, Serena."

"Mm hmm, " she moaned and slipped her arm around his waist as they walked off into the moonlit night.
