Chapter 5

DC: I don't own Sailor Moon

Rini, Serena, and Diana walked around the park. It was the end of November, and the tree's looked beautiful. Rini thought they looked like they were on fire.

"Fire?" Serena asked.

"Yeah! If you look at it in a certain way, the sun makes it look like it's on fire." Rini replied. Serena looked up. It did almost look like they were on fire. She smiled. Rini was very artistic.

"So, who is this girl that asked for your help?" Serena asked.

"Her name is Sheena. I'm not sure what her problem is, but she kind of freaked me out today. When she's around her friends, she's mean. But when she's alone, it's like another person…" Rini said. "And the weird thing about it was, when she was alone, I felt no negative energy as before…"

Serena thought. She hopped nothing was trying to control her or anything. Rini just shrugged. "I guess I could help her out…"

"That would be nice of you Rini." Serena replied. "Where's Diana?" She asked suddenly. Serena turned around, and found Diana sleeping on Rini's shoulder.

"Wow… She's fast asleep." Serena said amazed. Rini smiled.

"Ever since she grew up, she takes little naps. Sometimes in the weirdest places."

They found themselves at Serena's car. They were about to go inside, when something beeped. Serena looked all around, and then pulled out her Eternal Moon Tier. She watched it beep and blink, and she didn't like it.

"I don't like the sound of that." Diana said. She was suddenly awake, and on the ground.

"I'm guessing trouble…" Rini said. Serena hopped in, followed by Rini and Diana, and speed off into town.

--------

"Look, Look!"

Darien was trying to do his paperwork, when he heard it. Not only was a woman yelling 'look', but also there was a monster in their street. He looked down, and watched as it went through the city gathering energy. The thing was, it wasn't stealing it from humans, but from other things around it.

It went to an electrical box, and sucked the energy from that. The lights, and electric went out in his office. Luckily he wasn't typing on the computer.

There was a panic, and people running everywhere. He took this time, to get outside, to try and stop the monster.

--------

Serena screeched to a halt. In front of her was the monster, which grew in size with every ounce of energy it took. She got out, and people rushed past her. She looked to Rini, and nodded.

"Moon Eternal Power, Make up!"

"Moon Crisis, Make Up!"

Diana looked into the crowd of people, and found Darien.

"I'll get Darien!" She cried out. Serena and Rini nodded, and they ran towards the monster.

"Stop right there!" Serena yelled.

The monster turned around. It could feel a lot of energy coming from the two of them.

"Mor… More energy!" It yelled, and lunged at Rini. Rini dodged, and it hit the ground. Serena had her Tier out, and ready. But the monster wasn't done yet.

It quickly jumped up, and reached its arm toward her. Serena moved away, but didn't see its other arm whip out, and slam into her chest. It started to pull on her broach, which held the Silver Imerium Crystal. It took a second for her to catch her breath.

When she caught her breath, she tried to get out of its lock, but it wasn't giving up. Rini jumped onto it. The monster stumbled a little, but still held on.

"Hey! Let go!" Rini yelled. She started to kick and the monster yelped in pain, but finally threw her off. Rini got up, and was about to try again, but there was no need to.

Now, imprinted in the monsters back, was a rose. This was terribly annoying to it, as it used its other arm, and tried to get off. Darien used his cane, and slashed through the monster's arm. He grabbed Serena, and the monster fell, losing its balance.

The arm attached onto the broach dissolved, and Serena got her Tier ready again.

"This time you won't stop me!" Serena said holding it up. "Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!" She yelled.

The monster, which had just jumped up, was engulfed in yellow light and feathers. It screamed out in pain, but before it died, a little ball shot out of it.

Some hundred feet away, stood the Flute Player. She caught the little ball of energy, and smiled.

"Some of the Princess's energy too? Good job little monster." She then laughed, and disappeared into a cloud of dust.

--------

Lita, and Luna ran to the scene, but found it already taken care of by Serena. She switched open her communicator. Raye's face appeared.

"Taken care of, Raye. Serena took care of it." She said. Raye looked angry.

"Oh! Just come back I guess…" She said, and clicked off. Lita turned around, and walked back to the Shrine. But Luna stayed and looked at Serena, and Rini. She knew something was wrong with her, but couldn't get what it was.

Then Luna saw Diana. She was staring right back her, with tears in her eyes. Diana slowly turned around, and left Luna there, to think.

But nothing went through her head, as she followed Lita back to the Cherry Hill Shrine.

--------

"Are you okay Serena?" Darien asked. Serena rubbed her chest a little.

"Yeah. Don't worry, I'll take a better look at home…" Serena replied. She looked at where the monster stood, and saw something white there.

While Rini, and Darien talked to the people, telling them to go home, or work, she picked it up.

She kept it in her hand, until she had time to look at it at home.

--------

Rini was in bed. Darien was working overtime. He wastrying to sort out what was happening over there, and Serena talked to Amara over the phone.

"What do you think is happening?" Serena asked.

"I'm not sure," came Amara's voice. "But you should watch yourself, Serena."

"I know, I am. But I can't help it. I'm just wondering where to start. I told you already what was happening on the moon. The war and stuff. Well, how is it connected down here?" Serena questioned.

"I don't know, but listen. Everyone over here can feel it. Even Hotaru. I think she's growing up into her Saturn body… Michelle can feel it too. She says the sea tells her. It's complicated, but somehow I can feel it too. A big event is going to happen in the near future…" Amara explained. Serena nodded.

"Yeah… It's very feint, but it disturbs me… Well, I better go. I'll talk to you soon."

"Take care."

Serena hung the phone up. She went into the bathroom, and pulled her shirt off.

There was a bruise where the monster hit her. She sighed, and looked in her medicine cabinet for an ice pack.

She found one, and put her shirt back on. She lies on the couch, and set the pack on her bruise. She turned the TV on, and watched the late news.

"In other News. There have been weird spots in parks, and blackouts all over Tokyo."

Serena watched as they showed pictures of dead tree's and flowers everywhere in Tokyo's main park. She shook her head.

"What's Tokyo coming too?" She asked herself.

--------

Hiya ppl!

Preview:

Rini, and Diana stood outside the arcade, and watched out for that girl. While watching, Amy passed by. Rini knew not to talk to the inner scouts, but Amy stopped to talk anyway.

"How is Serena doing?" Amy asked. Rini shrugged.

"Fine, I guess. Although the bruise she got is still there." Rini mumbled not looking up. Amy sighed.

"Yes I know that we are split up, but I have to tell you something, Rini." Amy said. Rini looked up. "I want you to know, that I fear something could happen to Serena…or you…I'm going against Raye's rules, but she works with this lady."

"Who?" Diana asked.

So there is info coming to Rini about Raye, and the evil going about? You'll just have to wait! Please review, and I'll update soon!

Love, Lala Rue!
