Chapter 9

Sleep and relocation

Jadeite woke with a start. He cold feel someone watching him. He did a quick roll and stood up in a stance ready to fight. His slowly let down his guard once he saw who it was. "You don't deserve her."

A figure walked out of the mist that was all around. "Who are you to say who I deserve and who I don't. You are my guard not the other way around." Prince Endymion stood before Jadeite, sword at his side and all. "You have betrayed me, more than once. You don't deserve to be my guard. You have betrayed your planet and you personally betrayed me by trying to take my princess." Endymion pulled out his sword.

"And what have you done for her? Pushed her to her limit. Played with her emotions! Torn her heart apart! You do not deserve to be a prince and I wouldn't want to be your guard." Jadeite pulled out his own sword. Prince Endymion faded away and was replaced by a man in white turban and robe. "Who are you and what do you want!" Jadeite didn't understand what was going on.

"I am the Moonlight Knight. I am extremely impressed with your bravery."

"I don't care what you are impressed with! Stop playing with me!" Jadeite was becoming frustrated.

"I am sorry for toying with you. I must worn you my friend, that the dangers that are ahead are much more powerful than you were. More powerful than your queen and even the rest of her army. Take care of the princess but do not become to intoxicated with her beauty or power. You know she is not meant for you. You have your own love waiting for you."

"How do you know about our next enemy? Are you one of them? What do you mean to leave the princess alone? Who are you to tell me if I can have her or not!?" Jadeite was getting extremely angry and he couldn't understand why he wouldn't attack this figure. The Moonlight Knight pulled away the cloth that was covering his face and reviled his identity. "You! What the hell is going on? Why do you continue to make these changes? Stop trying to confuse me! If it's a fight you want it's a fight you can get!"

"I don't want a fight and I am not exactly what you think I am. I am the thoughts of the prince. When the princess defeated Queen Beryl the prince was left with out his memory of the past. All of the scouts lost all memory of being scouts and even Serena forgot about being Sailor Moon. They were to try and live a normal life. A new enemy arrived who was really just confused with life and while Darien was unaware of Serena needing protection I was her protector. I reveled myself to her when Darien was very close to death. I became one with him again and he had his memory back." Moonlight Knight explained.

"So why are you her now? Darien has his memory and apparently doesn't like the past." Jadeite said. He was at his boiling point and wasn't ready to play anymore games.

"I am here in the memory of Serena. I am not really a real thing. This place is not real. This place is really her conscience but you and the others and the enemy are real. You, Jadeite have been given the gift of trying to relive your life. I am only here on Darien's behalf because his mind is clouded and he cannot help from the out side. I am her to tell you that you must not fall in love with the princess and that you must not allow her to fall in love with you either. The future depends on it." Moonlight Knight walked up to Jadeite and placed a cold and unreal hand upon his shoulder. "Trust me my friend, you have your own princess waiting for you." With this, the Moonlight Knight disappeared and Jadeite could hear the sounds of his friends and the princess talking and laughing. He was waking from the dream he thought was a reality. Maybe, the dream had its own reality to it.

Hospital

"She's not getting better but she's not getting worse." Amy said as she walked back to the exhausted group.

"We can't all stay here… some of us have jobs and you guys have school…" Michel said.

"But none of us can leave…" Amara said solely.

"You guys can stay at my place. We will sneak the princess out and bring her to my fathers. My father can let the girls go to his school for now and if there is progress, he can call them out of class." Hotaru said without doubt in her voice. She walked over to Darien. "My father can make arrangements for you to be able to sleep at her bed side if you like."

Darien nodded. "Thank you Hotaru. I think that is the best plan. You guys get ready for transport. Hotaru, I think you should inform your dad." Hotaru gave him a nod and was off the the pay phones. "Now how are we going to get her out of here without someone asking what's going on?"

"Sailor Teleport. It's the only way. They may be a little freaked out once they find that she and the rest of us are gone but I think we can manage." Rei said.

"Dad says to tell them that he is now her doctor and has already be transported." Hotaru said appearing out of no where.

"And Renee?" Darien asked to the group as he stared at the little girl who slept on one of the hospital benches.

"I'll drive her there. We will meet you guys there." Amara said, standing up and getting ready to leave.

"I think we are all set but Darien, you can teleport because you aren't a scout." Lita said bringing up a good point.

"I think that the power of love could send him anywhere with his princess." Mina smiled.

Darien nodded. "I won't leave her side." With that, the inner scouts and Hotaru walked briskly to Serena's room while Amara, Michel and Renee got ready to leave.

All of the scouts circled around Serena's bed in her hospital room.

"Hotaru, you call out the destination once we are all powered up ok." Amy explained. Hotaru nodded.

"Everyone ready?" Darien asked. Everyone nodded. Darien looked at Serena's face. 'I swear to never leave you again Serena. Never again will I cause you pain or her or anguish. If I do I will be the one on the verge dying, not you.'

So the scout began to call out their planet in forceful whispers.

"Mercury Star Power."

"Mars Star Power."

"Jupiter Star Power."

"Venus Star Power."

"Saturn Star Power. Bring us to my fathers laboratory."

'Loves power… bring me with them!' This was Darien's last thought as they all began to glow and were whisked away at the speed of light. A second later they found them selves at Hotaru's in her fathers laboratory. Professor Tomoe hardly shook as they all landed not more than a yard away from him.

"I'm glad you made it. I think I will start running tests and you all need sleep. Darien, you will be staying down here so I won't be long." The Professor stood up and began attaching wires to Serena's temples and such. The rest of the scouts went up stairs. There wasn't anything they could do but sleep and hope for the best.
