Chapter 12
DC: I don't own Sailor Moon
Serena woke up, and her first instinct was to check on Rini. She tried to get up, but her back suddenly burst into pain, so she just lay there. Her back hurt, her head hurt, and she had the craving for some kind of vegetable. Which was really odd. She hated vegetables, especially carrots.
She lay in frustration, and misery, as her stomach growled, and her head ached. She found herself falling asleep again, and forgetting about her growling stomach, for what seemed like a moment.
But for only that moment she had an image of Rini flash through her head.
"Okay that's it! I don't care!"
Serena ignored her head and back, and found her way to Rini's room. Rini sat on her bed. It looked like she had been up for a long time, but was occupied by tissues, and a stuffy nose. Serena stuck her head inside.
Rini looked up for a moment, and then waved her hand toward Serena. Serena opened the door a little more, and came in.
"How are you feeling?" Serena asked, as she sat next to her.
"Horrible." Was all Rini cold say before sneezing.
"Well, it looks like your not going to school today. So you know what happened to Hotaru?"
Rini nodded, and wiped her nose. She looked teary eyed again, and Serena had second thoughts on asking that question. But Rini scooted closer to Serena, and laid her head on her shoulder.
"We were walking…through the Tokyo Park." She said. Serena nodded. "The Flute Player came up, surrounded us, but Hotaru pushed me away. I hit a tree, and was knocked out. When I woke up, she and, the Flute lady, were gone." Rini explained. She reached out for another tissue, and blew her nose.
Serena carefully got up, and patted Rini's shoulder. "Get some rest. We'll figure out what's going on around here, okay?"
Rini nodded, and curled up. Serena left the room, and closed the door. She went down the steps, and into her kitchen. She reached for her coffee cup, but had the sudden urge to not drink any. Suddenly that craving came back, and she sat at the table.
'Go away! I hate carrots!' She'd yell inside, but the craving still lasted.
In frustration, she swung open the fridge door to find, she needed to go shopping, and that there was some pudding there too.
She sat at the table, with three carrots, and a little cup of pudding. She dipped the carrot in, and munched on it.
'Wow…not that bad!'
She continued to dip her carrot in, and eat it. Darien came downstairs, pulled up a chair, and watched her. She seemed really happy about eating it.
"Is it really that good?" He asked. Serena nodded, and grabbed her last carrot.
She was about to dip it in, when there was some beeping. They looked around, and found it was the Sailor Communicator, sitting on the counter.
Serena stopped eating, and picked it up.
"Serena! Big trouble!" Came Amy's voice. "Everyone is here! Everyone! Please come quick!"
Amy's voice was cut of. Serena turned it off, and looked over to Darien.
"Should you be leaving?" Darien asked. Serena pulled out her broach.
"I have to help, Darien."
"I'm coming too!"
Serena and Darien looked towards the steps. Rini had already transformed, and was ready for anything. Except for the fact that she had a cold.
"Rini you can't come!" Serena said. Rini crossed her arms.
"If you're allowed to go, so am I!" She said.
Serena sighed, and looked up to Darien. He couldn't think of anything to say. "Okay Rini, but you have to be careful. It's still cold from yesterday."
Serena and Darien quickly transformed, and the three of them were out the door.

"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"
The monster absorbed Amy's attack, and sent it back at her. Amy dodged, and watched as Amara had her try. The other inner scouts just watched. They didn't mind letting the monster have a go, before they did.
"Pink Moon Heart attack!"
The monster was hit from behind, and couldn't concentrate on absorbing. Rini kept it going, until Serena could catch up. Michelle and Trista took this time to attack it together.
"Submarine reflection!"
"Pluto Deadly Scream!"
(A/N: Did you know Pluto actually whispers that attack?)
A tycoon of water hit the monster weakening it. Rini let go of her attack, and Serena stepped up. She had her Tier in hand.
"It's time you go down! Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!"
The monster vanished, and when the light cleared, there stood the Flute Player.
"Very good, Princess Serenity. Now let's see what happens when something unexpected happens!"
The Flute player played her flute.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!"
Serena barely dodged Lita's attack. Everyone looked over to the inners, and saw they're emotionless eyes glaring back.
"Time to die, little Moon!" Raye yelled as she brought out her fiery bow. "Mars Flame Sniper!"
Serena quickly ran the other direction, and was caught by Mina.
"Mina stop this! It's me!" Serena said. Mina held two fingers to her lips. She was about to call her attack, when a blast of earth hit her.
"Amara!" Serena screamed. Amara put her hands on her hips.
"We have to protect our Queen, and Princess!" Amara said.
The music suddenly stopped, and the skies darkened. The two fighting teams stopped. And looked around. The Flute Player came to the middle, and snapped her fingers. Dark purple Mist sprouted from the ground, and out raised a young woman.
She had long black hair, and dark purple eyes. She wore a long purple dress, with beads draping from her neck. Rini recognized her, first.
"Ho-Hotaru?" She stammered. The lady laughed.
"I no longer am called that. I am Mistress 9, and I shall destroy all who oppose me!"
Mistress 9 made everything dark. Building lights shut off, and lights all around flickered out. They were left in the dark, and in the cold. The Sailor's were suddenly locked into a dark world, where they couldn't move. Rini broke out of it, and started to run to Mistress 9, but someone held her back. She turned to see Sheena.
"Don't do it, Sailor Mini Moon!" She cried. Rini looked into Sheena's eyes, and felt no life coming from it. She wrenched Sheena's arms off, and backed away.
"You're not Sheena! Get away!" Rini cried.
Rini stumbled and fell. She looked up to see Mistress 9 staring down.
"You want to die first?" She called. She threw her hand up, and there formed a negative energy spike. Rini froze, and watched as her hand came down. She closed her eyes, and covered her face, but didn't feel anything. Instead she heard everyone gasp, and Serena's scream.

Hiya ppl! I bet you hate the ending of this chapter!
Preview:
Everyone could move again, and the lights came back on. Mina ran to Serena, and kneeled next to her. Serena looked up, and they're eyes connected. Mina felt concerned, and Serena burst into more tears. She wrapped her arms around her, and cried.
Rini was still in shock. Slowly all the sailors gathered together. Amara, Michelle, and Trista kept an eye on the inners. Raye was speechless. Lita was almost in tears.
"I-I can't believe we did that…" Raye cried.
So have the other sailors come to their senses? You'll have to wait.
