I don't own Sailor Moon

Back to the story…………………….

In the morning, all the scouts awoke at the same time at the sound of a loud crash outside. Lita leapt up and ran out the door.

Then next second they heard Lita scream "Jupiter Power!"

All the scouts did the same. Following her outside.

"Mercury Power!"

"Mars Power!"

"Venus Power!"

"Moon Power!"

At Darien's Apartment

Ray just transformed… I can feel it. That must mean there is trouble… at the temple. Leaving the apartment, Tuxedo Mask made his way to Ray's temple.

Ray's Temple

"Mercury Fog!" Ami shouted.

"Combine your attacks now Ray and Lita! While the he can't see." Luna advised.

"Moon Tiara…"

"Jupiter thunder…"

"Magic!"

"Crash!"

The spinning tiara was engulfed in a surge of electricity. Only it bounced right off the demons armor. From its metal suit surrounding they knew there was no way to beat it, or so they thought.

The demon used the energy of electricity from the tiara to shock Ray. As the electricity left its hand it hit Ray before Tuxedo Mask had a chance to save her.

"Ray! Ray! Come on. Please wake up!" Tuxedo Mask begged as he came to the scene.

Serena was looking at Ray in sadness. Her mistake was her back was to the monster. Suddenly she heard a scream. Whipping around, she shrieked in horror.

"MINA!" Sailor Venus was lying on the ground with a silver sword protruding from her right arm.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Two more screams came but from the opposite direction. This time it was Lita and Ami, who were on the ground injured. Why me? I can't do this alone.

She looked around and saw a gold light. It was Ray's tiara. Wait, the tiara! I'll give it to Ray and if she's strong enough she can use it to finish off the monster. Serena ran to the tiara as the demon was approaching her. She bent over to pick it up. In her hands it glowed.

Dodging hammers being thrust towards her she kept a tight grip on the object in her hand. She finally made it to Ray. "Darien! Please give this to her, maybe she has enough strength to finish off the monster." She cried desperately while covering up her glowing locket.

"She can't." He responded solemnly.

"What the hell do you mean she can't? She's the leader of the group and the most powerful!" She shouted back in anger.

"That's true but she can't finish off the demons on her own. It usually is a combined attack with her tiara that will do the job. And… she's in critical condition. I'm going to have to take her to the hospital."

"But the monster…"

"You can do it, I have faith in you." He whispered as he bounded out of sight with Ray in his arms. Why do I feel I must stay and protect her? But I can't Ray's condition is bad enough and if she doesn't get in a hospital soon… I don't even want to know what could happen.

The demon was looking for the last scout, while Serena hid behind a tree to come up with a plan.

I'm all alone for sure now and I can't defeat it on my own. He said the only way to win is through combined attacks... All the other scouts are injured and can't possibly fight. Use it. Use what? Duh! The tiara. No the duh part is only Ray can use it. Try it. It's the only thing you got. Nothing else is powerful enough. Fine but if I die- You won't. Do it now before any other of your friends get more seriously hurt.

What do I say? Serena came from behind the tree as she faced the demon. Moon Tiara Magic! Okay I'll do it.

"Serena, run! You can't defeat it alone. Go! Save yourself." Lita persisted through tears.

"I won't leave you hear to die." Her voice trembled slightly.

"Moon Tiara Magic!" She screamed, putting her whole heart into the attack as the tiara left her hand in a ray of golden light. Its stunning power cut through the demon's armor as if it were nothing.

Watching the demon vanish into thin air, Serena fell back, drained of energy. She heard someone talking; Serena but ignored the voice as she blacked out.

In Serena's Head

How could I have possibly done that? Ray is Sailor Moon not me. Are you sure 'bout that? You again! What are you talking about? Of course she is. She has the power and the outfit. But didn't you just use the power she was given?

Yes but- And didn't you defeat the monster with the tiara alone without anyone else's help, when Ray couldn't? But it doesn't make sense, when they found me I was pronounced Sailor Mars, not Sailor Moon. What if Luna made a mistake? Luna? Miss Perfect make a mistake? Ha ha ha yeah right. Just think about it. What's there to think about-- "Serena!" Wha--?

"Serena!" Darien exclaimed as he came to the scene. He saw the other three scouts lying on the ground unconscious as well.

Why did I come to Serena first? It looks like she doesn't have a scratch on her. There's that gold light again coming from Serena's locket. Seriously, does she need to take it with her wherever she goes? Doesn't that locket seem familiar? Yeah from the dream, you said it would help her remember. Who is she? Someone we loved along time ago. Why don't you take a look at the locket?

Darien kneeled by Serena we he took her locket in the palm of his hand. Unaware, Serena woke up when she heard him call her name. She pretended to still be unconscious. Darien made out the faint inscription on the locket.

Serenity and Endymion.

Does it seem familiar? No… I'm not sure. Who are they? We are Endymion, and Serenity is the girl in your dreams. Wait does that mean…

Serena spewed in anger "Give that back to me right now!" How dare he touch it!

"Sorry." He blushed at being caught. "Lets go help the others," he said in order to get her mind off that embarrassing moment.

"Fine!" she replied. "Oh my god! Mina, girl speak to me are you alive?"

"Yes." She groaned. " But if you scream like that again I might go deaf." Mina reached to her right arm and pulled the sword out. Darien aided her with his medical kit and told Serena to go to the others.

"Ami! Lita! Please be okay." She begged as she sat between the two bodies lying right next to each other.

"We're fine. We just got conked in the head by a hammer. Thank god he already used his sword on Mina." She wiped her forward as Mina gave her a nasty glare. "Sorry!" She shot back.

Groggy, Ami was the next to wake up. She rubbed the red bump on the back of her head. We were just in battle… Who finished it off? We were all out except for…Serena!

"Serena what happened to the monster?" Ami asked curiously.

All eyes were on Serena. Oh goddess! What do I tell them?

……………………………….

Hey everyone, it's really getting interesting now. Will Serena tell them the truth or make up some lie? Can she even cope with it herself? What happened to Ray is she dead (NO), how will she be affected by how bad of condition she is. Will someone else have to step up to leader while Ray is hurt? If so who will it be? What about Darien? Seeing the locket on Serena's neck makes him more curious about the person inside of him, and Serenity. To find out what happens, stay tuned.
