Sorry I didn't get this out sooner. I now have to write up like five
chapters and it takes a while. Also I had a writer's block.
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters from the series just the ones
you've never heard of.

Chapter 6
Tuxedo Mask's Return
It was Friday morning and Serena jumped out of her bed. She changed into her school clothes and ran down to the kitchen for something to eat.
"Serena, you're up early," her mother said setting down a plate in front of Serena.
Rini came down the stairs rubbing her eyes and trying to fully wake herself. She sat down in an empty seat and ate the food given to her.
Rini turned to Serena and said, "Serena, remember to take me to the airport with you to see Darien."
"Oh, you mean he's coming back from America today?" Mrs. Tsukino asked.
"Yes, and I just can't wait!" Serena yelled. She finished off her food and ran out the door.
She took the corner like always and stopped at the sight of the blond haired man. He looked at her and said, "You're early for a change."
"Hmph," Serena said looking to the side. "I don't need you to ruin my happy day."
She began walking off when he said, "Before you go, take this."
Serena took the piece of paper and asked, "What is it?"
"Umm, well, you can read when you're at school or whenever you feel like it. It's nothing really but you can tell the answer to Aaron," the blond said looking away from Serena. "Now, you better get going before you become late."
Serena looked at the piece of paper and held it tightly in her hand as she ran to school.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Darien sat in his seat on the plane and looked out the window. A young lady sat in the seat next to him and looked to him.
"So why are you heading to Japan?" the girl asked. Both her eyes and hair were a lovely shade of green. An emerald the shape of a crescent moon hung from her right ear by a tiny chain.
Darien looked to her and said, "I'm heading back to see someone."
"Would that someone happen to be a girl?" the girl asked.
"Who are you?" Darien asked.
The girl gave a smile as she answered, "My name's Midori. So am I right in it being a girl you're going to see in Japan?"
"Yeah," Darien said giving out a blush. "By the way my name's Darien. Why are you going to Japan?"
"A boy. It's been a long time since I've seen him, but I know that he still has his heart set on me," Midori said. "I didn't want to go but I had to. It was so easy to tell that he liked me but I never showed any signs of liking him back. It was when I left that I found out that I really did like him. So what's she like?"
Darien smiled and said, "Well, she's........."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lita opened her eyes and looked around the room. She got to her feet and walked out of the room. There was no sign of anyone so she walked out of the apartment. It was then that she realized that her wound had been healed completely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The school bell rang and Serena ran out of the school full of happiness. Amy followed after her as Induo yelled, "Hey, Amy, do you have an answer!"
Amy stopped in her tracks and said, "Well, uh."
Aaron appeared just behind Induo and said, "Her answer is no. Now leave her be. She going to lose sight of Serena."
Induo looked to Aaron with narrow eyes and said, "You're not the one to give me Amy's answer. What could possibly be the reason that she can't go?"
"Well, for one thing, she's invited to a birthday party," Aaron said as Amy asked, "I am?"
"Yeah, didn't Serena tell you. Scott said that he would give her the invitation this morning," Aaron said.
"So what is it, Amy? Are you going to this birthday party or on our date?" Induo asked.
"I told you her answer is no," Aaron said.
"I wasn't talking to you," Induo said punching Aaron in the face.
Aaron fell to the ground and put his hand to the place on his face that got hit. He jumped to his feet and ran at Induo throwing a punch at him. Induo fell to the ground from the force and narrowed his eyes even more.
Before Induo could charge Aaron, Amy got in between them and said, "Will you two stop!"
"I totally agree with you, Amy. I say we stop this foolish fight, Aaron. We're not a bunch of kids are we now," Induo said.
"Why you!" Aaron yelled reaching out his arms at him. He was being held back by Amy.
"Stop it, Aaron!" Amy yelled.
Aaron froze from the sound of her voice. There was anger written on her face. He turned his eyes to Induo to see him smirking.
Amy looked to Induo as he asked, "So what is your answer for tomorrow?"
"Yes," Amy said. Before Aaron could say anything, she said, "And on our date we can go to the birthday party as well."
Aaron smiled as Induo turned his back to her and gave a frown. Induo began to walk off as he said, "Fine, we can go to that party."
Amy looked to Aaron and said, "I better catch up with Serena. Do you want to come and meet Darien?"
"I guess it wouldn't hurt," Aaron replied.
"Then come on," Amy said grabbing his hand and running the same direction Serena did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena remembered to pick up Rini from school and the two headed to the airport. They met up with the other girls and the three cats. Amy showed up with Aaron and he introduced himself to the other girls. The girls shed tears when they saw Lita walk up to them.
"Where have you been?" Mina asked.
"To tell you the truth, I don't know. I woke up in the room of an apartment," Lita said.
"Lita," Aaron said giving out a blush. "Thank you for taking care of me when I was sick. I was beginning to get worried that something bad happened to you, but at least you're safe now."
The plane arrived and Darien exited the pane with Midori. The two said their good byes to each other.
"Well, I take it that that girl over there with the blond hair that's up is her?" Midori asked looking straight at Serena.
"Yeah, well, I guess this is good bye. Is your love here?" Darien asked.
"No, he doesn't know that I'm returning. It'll be a big surprise. Maybe we'll see each other sometime. I hope you and your love stay together always," Midori said shaking Darien's hand. "Good bye, Darien."
She turned her back to him and walked away. Serena and the others yelled out, "WELCOME BACK, DARIEN!"
Darien gave out a smile and greeted them. "It's good to be back."
"Darien, I missed you so much!" Serena yelled as she gave him a great big hug.
"I missed you too, Serena," Darien said returning the hug. He looked to the others and said, "The same goes for all of you. Huh? Who might you be?"
Aaron looked to Darien and answered, "Oh, me. My name's Aaron. I'm new around here and I happened to make friends with the girls. Amy asked if I wanted to come and meet you and I said yes. It's a pleasure to finally meet the Darien Serena has been talking about."
"The pleasure's all mine. I hope you haven't heard any bad things about me," Darien smiled.
"Of coarse not. When has Serena ever said anything bad about you, Darien," Raye said.
The group laughed at what was said and began talking about other things.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The cloaked figure from the day before was walking down one of the hallways found in Queen Raina's castle. He stopped when he heard a voice call him from behind.
He turned around and ordered, "Show yourself."
A figure appeared from the shadows and said, "It's been a while, Indigo."
"It can't be. Midori?" the cloaked figure asked.
Midori stepped from the shadows and hugged the cloaked figure. "I've missed you so much, Indigo."
"Y-you have?" Indigo asked with nervousness in his voice.
A second figure appeared in the shadows and said, "It's great to see that you're back, Midori. Indigo was actually starting to take orders from the queen. He already kidnapped some innocent children."
"Indigo, how could you?" Midori said looking at the face hidden beneath the hood.
The cloaked figure said, "Well, I did it for you. She said she would harm you if I didn't. I'm surprised. She hasn't given me any orders since yesterday."
"That's because Azure started a fight with Crimson," Pumpkin said walking into view. "The queen's furious with the two and punished Azure."
"What about Crimson. Is he alright?" a voice said from behind him.
"Yes, of coarse. Crimson was able to run off and do a mission without her even asking," Pumpkin said. "It's good to see you again, Midori."
"Yeah, I'm glad I'm back. How have you been, Daffodil?" Midori asked to the figure that stood behind Pumpkin.
"I've been doing great," the voice replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crimson appeared atop a building and just sat there. He said, "I don't want to do anything. I just want to sit here and sleep. But then the queen will get mad at me and torture me like before and I don't want that. Or even worse, she might harm one of the others. Turtlea."
"Yes, master," the animaster said appearing behind him.
"I want you to go and gather energy for the queen. If those girls show up, I want you to escape. I'll be watching and help you if you are not able to escape," Crimson said.
"Thank you, master," Turtlea said jumping from the top of the building to the street below. She grabbed innocent people and drained their energy throwing them to the side when she was through with them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aaron stood up from the chair he was sitting in at the Fruits Parlour Crown. He smiled and said, "Well, I better get going. I told Scott I'd see him at the arcade down stairs. Oh, Serena, what's your answer to the letter he gave you?"
"What letter? Is Scott that blond guy that I see every morning?" Serena asked pulling out the letter.
"Yes, now do you have an answer?" Aaron asked waiting patiently.
Serena read the letter and said, "Sure I'll go to his birthday party but can I bring the girls and Darien along too?"
"Of coarse. The more the merrier. Just go to the address on the sheet of paper. Well, gotta go. Bye!" Aaron yelled as he waved goodbye to them all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tuxedo Saturn was standing atop one of the buildings overlooking the damage Turtlea was making. His eyes narrowed from under his mask as he said, "Now where could those girls be. I would think they would be here by now."
A hand appeared on Tuxedo Saturn's shoulder as a voice said, "Do you need assistance against this animaster?"
"You know that I wouldn't, Neptune," Saturn said turning his head to him. "Now would you know where those girls are and the whereabouts of Pluto?"
"Pluto? I haven't seen him all day. He just as well might be at the arcade," Neptune said looking down at the animaster. "Do you see him?"
"Is he the general?" a new voice asked from behind the two.
Neptune looked behind and said, "Where have you been? It's nearly been a week and you haven't shown your face around here."
"Calm down. I was just taking a break," the new tuxedo said giving a smile. His red hair was tied back and his eyes were brown and cheerful. The inside of his cape was blue.
"Since you haven't done anything all week, you are going to take down that animaster all by yourself," Saturn ordered looking to Turtlea who had found another victim.
"Fine," the tuxedo sighed walking to the edge of the roof and jumping to the ground.
"Well, I'm not going to be the one to let that boy fight on his own," Pluto's voice said as he ran past Saturn jumping to the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena and the gang were in conversation when Tuxedo Pluto broke through the window landing on their table and sliding to the floor.
"Who is that?" Darien asked standing to his feet and pointing at Pluto.
"Ouch, I didn't think that thing could actually throw me," Pluto said staggering to his feet. "Well, I'm sorry to bother you kind people."
Pluto ran back out the window leaving the girls to look at each other. Serena looked to the others and said, "Let's go!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena and the girls ran into the scene to see Pluto holding Turtlea back as the other guy kicked and punched the hardest he could.
"Now, Uranus, it's called a shell. Your kicking and punching have no effect," Pluto struggled to say. He looked to the side and smiled at the sight of the girls. "Oh, hi, Sailor Moon!"
Turtlea looked to the girls and pushed Tuxedo Pluto away from herself. She slammed her arm against Tuxedo Uranus and began running.
Neptune appeared in her way as he kicked her back. Saturn jumped from the top of the building and helped Pluto to his feet. He then looked to the girls and jumped at the sight of Tuxedo Mask.
"Who are you!" Saturn yelled staring straight at Tuxedo Mask.
"I should be the one to ask that," Darien replied crossing his arms.
Saturn began walking toward Darien. His right hand tightened into a fist as a sword appeared. He charged at Darien and attacked with his sword.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crimson stood to his feet and jumped down to the scene bellow to help his animaster. Neptune just stared at him not knowing if he should actually attack.
Crimson narrowed his eyes and ordered, "Turtlea, get out of here. I'll hold them off."
"Yes, Master," Turtlea said.
"Now, what do you intend to do? All I've ever seen you do is flee in fear," Neptune said.
Crimson raised his hands up to his chest and concentrated. Steam steamed from his hands as flames formed. He pointed the palms of his hands directly at Neptune and Uranus and yelled, "Now's your chance, Turtlea!"
Turtlea ran as fast as she could and before Neptune could get to her, Crimson sent out a stream of fire from his hand. Neptune blocked himself with his arms and fell to the ground.
Tuxedo Uranus ran at Crimson and knocked him down to the ground. Crimson quickly got up to his feet and the two fought hand to hand combat.
Tuxedo Neptune got to his feet and chased after Turtlea. He was surprised to see that the girls had already surrounded her and were fighting.
Darien and Saturn fought. Saturn swung his sword at Darien who blocked the attack with his cane.
"Why are you fighting me?" Darien struggled to say as he tried to block of Saturn's sword.
"I'm the leader not you!" Saturn yelled jumping back. He charged at Darien again as he yelled, "You have no right to lead us!"
Pluto struggled to stay on his feet. He watched as everyone had found something to fight. He looked to Saturn and yelled, "Saturn, what the hell are you doing! He's one of the good guys, isn't he?"
"Tuxedo Mask!" Serena yelled as Saturn kicked Darien in the face.
"Saturn, stop this nonsense!" Pluto yelled as he staggered over to his leader. He held him back the best he could until Saturn kicked him to the ground.
"Stay out of this, Pluto!" Saturn yelled. "You don't even know what's going on!"
"Then what the hell's going on!" Pluto yelled in anger. He jumped to his feet and charged Saturn.
The two were on the ground in a matter of seconds. Saturn beat down Pluto with ease since Pluto was in no condition to fight.
Darien narrowed his eyes as he yelled, "What do you think you're doing? He's one of your men!"
Saturn froze a fist from hitting Pluto and just stared at his beaten teammate. Blood streamed from Pluto's nose, as his eyes were wide with surprise. Saturn stood to his feet and began to take steps back.
Pluto staggered to his feet as he held his hand up to his nose to stop the bleeding. ".........Saturn."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Azure," Queen Raina's voice rang through the darkness. He appeared at her side and waited for what she had called him for. "Azure, you know what I want you to do."
"Yes, my queen," Azure said as an evil smirk appeared on his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crimson slammed Uranus against one of the buildings with as much force as he could. Uranus struggled to stand to his feet as Crimson's legs were shaking with weakness.
Azure appeared on the scene and looked to everyone. He narrowed his eyes toward them all as he raised his hand up toward a target. Water formed in his hand as it fired toward its target.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pumpkin was in one of the dark halls of the castle. He froze in his tracks as he fell to his knees. His hands were on his head as he yelled, "No, it can't be this way! His future can't be set."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tuxedo Uranus's eyes widened as he watched Crimson fall to the ground. The attack that Azure had inflicted went straight through Crimson's back.
Crimson's eyes were wide as blood flowed from his open injury. Azure walked over to him and knelt down.
Crimson tightened his hands into fists and asked, "Why? Azure, why?"
Azure gave out a small chuckle as he said, "You foolish creature. I did this because that's what she asked of me."
"Azure, why did you change? What about Violet? How could you forget her?" Crimson asked as his eyes tightened from the pain.
Azure's eyes narrowed and he grabbed Crimson by his hair and pulled it up. "How dare you talk to me like that! You have no right!"
Uranus kicked Azure back and said, "I don't know what the hell is going on but how could you injure your own teammate! I won't allow you to harm him any further."
Azure regained his balance and smirked, "What are you going to do to stop me?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pluto watched as Saturn continued to take steps back. ".........Saturn."
Saturn stopped and looked to Pluto. He shook his head no and turned around and ran.
"Saturn!" Pluto yelled chasing after him before he fell to his knees in pain.
Serena ran to Pluto's side and asked, "Are you all right?"
"Saturn.........don't blame him.........he has his ways.........for a reason," Pluto struggled to say. His eyes closed as he fell unconscious.
"Pluto!" Serena yelled in worry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Trust Bond Tidal Wave!" Neptune yelled as Turtlea's body disintegrated back into an actual turtle that was dead. Neptune looked in the direction Uranus was and saw what was going on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Azure kicked Uranus in the jaw and laughed as he watched him fall to the ground. Uranus stood up, wiped the blood from the side of his mouth, and got ready to attack. Azure ran at Uranus and wrapped his hands around his neck. Uranus struggled to force the hands off but it didn't work.
Crimson forced his arms to get him to his knees and took out the bottle Pumpkin had given him a while back. He looked at it and forced the top of it off. He drank the whole bottle and was about to cough it up when a hand covered his mouth.
Crimson looked to the owner and saw Pumpkin kneeling there by his side. Pumpkin gave him a smile and said, "You have to drink every last bit. Azure isn't himself anymore. I knew ever since the first time he met the queen."
Crimson swallowed all the contents that was in the bottle and looked to Azure who was still holding Uranus by the neck. "The queen wants me dead. You know he wouldn't do on his own accord."
"Crimson, you have to leave. You have to leave all of us. If you don't, then........." Pumpkin said as he stopped what he was going to say. He stood to his feet and said, "I've said too much. I have to go."
Pumpkin disappeared leaving Crimson there to watch in confusion at what he was about to say. Crimson stood to his feet. His injury had healed completely. Negative energy formed throughout his body as he teleported out of there.
Azure watched as his target had left and released Uranus from his grip. He smiled and said, "I guess this is the end. I'll be off."
Azure disappeared from the scene as Uranus gasped for air. Neptune ran to his side and helped him to his feet.
The two then went to where the girls had gathered. Uranus ran to Pluto's side and asked, "Is he okay? What happened to him?"
"Your leader beat him up," Darien answered.
Neptune narrowed his eyes as he asked, "Just who are you?"
"I'm Tuxedo Mask. Now will you mind explaining who you are?" Darien asked.
Neptune smiled and walked over to Pluto and picked him up taking him into his arms. He began walking away with Uranus following behind as he said, "Maybe another time."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crimson wandered around the halls of the castle looking left and right for Pumpkin. "Kin! Kin, where are you!?" He ran down the dark halls disappearing in the shadows.
The sound of chains stirred in the chamber where the queen was. She gave out a small smirk and said, "My dear, Pumpkin, to think that I would allow you to go on with your knowledge. But I must know why you didn't tell your dear Crimson."
The chains stirred once more and Pumpkin was on the wall completely bound by the chains. He narrowed his eyes at the queen and yelled, "You heartless being! Release me now!"
"Are you going to answer my question?" the queen asked once more.
Pumpkin looked to the side and said, "No matter what I do the future that I see can never be prevented. I've known that ever since you came. From now on, Crimson has to go on with his future his own way."

She took the corner like always and stopped at the sight of the blond haired man. He looked at her and said, "You're early for a change."

Serena looked at the piece of paper and held it tightly in her hand as she ran to school.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Darien sat in his seat on the plane and looked out the window. A young lady sat in the seat next to him and looked to him.
"So why are you heading to Japan?" the girl asked. Both her eyes and hair were a lovely shade of green. An emerald the shape of a crescent moon hung from her right ear by a tiny chain.
Darien looked to her and said, "I'm heading back to see someone."
"Would that someone happen to be a girl?" the girl asked.

"Darien, I missed you so much!" Serena yelled as she gave him a great big hug.
"I missed you too, Serena," Darien said returning the hug. He looked to the others and said, "The same goes for all of you. Huh? Who might you be?"
Aaron looked to Darien and answered, "Oh, me. My name's Aaron. I'm new around here and I happened to make friends with the girls. Amy asked if I wanted to come and meet you and I said yes. It's a pleasure to finally meet the Darien Serena has been talking about."

"Calm down. I was just taking a break," the new tuxedo said giving a smile. His red hair was tied back and his eyes were brown and cheerful. The inside of his cape was blue.
"Since you haven't done anything all week, you are going to take down that animaster all by yourself," Saturn ordered looking to Turtlea who had found another victim.
"Fine," the tuxedo sighed walking to the edge of the roof and jumping to the ground.
"Well, I'm not going to be the one to let that boy fight on his own," Pluto's voice said as he ran past Saturn jumping to the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena and the gang were in conversation when Tuxedo Pluto broke through the window landing on their table and sliding to the floor.
"Who is that?" Darien asked standing to his feet and pointing at Pluto.
"Ouch, I didn't think that thing could actually throw me," Pluto said staggering to his feet. "Well, I'm sorry to bother you kind people."
Pluto ran back out the window leaving the girls to look at each other. Serena looked to the others and said, "Let's go!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena and the girls ran into the scene to see Pluto holding Turtlea back as the other guy kicked and punched the hardest he could.
"Now, Uranus, it's called a shell. Your kicking and punching have no effect," Pluto struggled to say. He looked to the side and smiled at the sight of the girls. "Oh, hi, Sailor Moon!"
Turtlea looked to the girls and pushed Tuxedo Pluto away from herself. She slammed her arm against Tuxedo Uranus and began running.
Neptune appeared in her way as he kicked her back. Saturn jumped from the top of the building and helped Pluto to his feet. He then looked to the girls and jumped at the sight of Tuxedo Mask.
"Who are you!" Saturn yelled staring straight at Tuxedo Mask.
"I should be the one to ask that," Darien replied crossing his arms.
Saturn began walking toward Darien. His right hand tightened into a fist as a sword appeared. He charged at Darien and attacked with his sword.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crimson stood to his feet and jumped down to the scene bellow to help his animaster. Neptune just stared at him not knowing if he should actually attack.
Crimson narrowed his eyes and ordered, "Turtlea, get out of here. I'll hold them off."
"Yes, Master," Turtlea said.
"Now, what do you intend to do? All I've ever seen you do is flee in fear," Neptune said.
Crimson raised his hands up to his chest and concentrated. Steam steamed from his hands as flames formed. He pointed the palms of his hands directly at Neptune and Uranus and yelled, "Now's your chance, Turtlea!"
Turtlea ran as fast as she could and before Neptune could get to her, Crimson sent out a stream of fire from his hand. Neptune blocked himself with his arms and fell to the ground.
Tuxedo Uranus ran at Crimson and knocked him down to the ground. Crimson quickly got up to his feet and the two fought hand to hand combat.
Tuxedo Neptune got to his feet and chased after Turtlea. He was surprised to see that the girls had already surrounded her and were fighting.
Darien and Saturn fought. Saturn swung his sword at Darien who blocked the attack with his cane.
"Why are you fighting me?" Darien struggled to say as he tried to block of Saturn's sword.
"I'm the leader not you!" Saturn yelled jumping back. He charged at Darien again as he yelled, "You have no right to lead us!"
Pluto struggled to stay on his feet. He watched as everyone had found something to fight. He looked to Saturn and yelled, "Saturn, what the hell are you doing! He's one of the good guys, isn't he?"
"Tuxedo Mask!" Serena yelled as Saturn kicked Darien in the face.
"Saturn, stop this nonsense!" Pluto yelled as he staggered over to his leader. He held him back the best he could until Saturn kicked him to the ground.
"Stay out of this, Pluto!" Saturn yelled. "You don't even know what's going on!"
"Then what the hell's going on!" Pluto yelled in anger. He jumped to his feet and charged Saturn.
The two were on the ground in a matter of seconds. Saturn beat down Pluto with ease since Pluto was in no condition to fight.
Darien narrowed his eyes as he yelled, "What do you think you're doing? He's one of your men!"
Saturn froze a fist from hitting Pluto and just stared at his beaten teammate. Blood streamed from Pluto's nose, as his eyes were wide with surprise. Saturn stood to his feet and began to take steps back.
Pluto staggered to his feet as he held his hand up to his nose to stop the bleeding. ".........Saturn."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Azure," Queen Raina's voice rang through the darkness. He appeared at her side and waited for what she had called him for. "Azure, you know what I want you to do."
"Yes, my queen," Azure said as an evil smirk appeared on his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crimson slammed Uranus against one of the buildings with as much force as he could. Uranus struggled to stand to his feet as Crimson's legs were shaking with weakness.
Azure appeared on the scene and looked to everyone. He narrowed his eyes toward them all as he raised his hand up toward a target. Water formed in his hand as it fired toward its target.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pumpkin was in one of the dark halls of the castle. He froze in his tracks as he fell to his knees. His hands were on his head as he yelled, "No, it can't be this way! His future can't be set."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tuxedo Uranus's eyes widened as he watched Crimson fall to the ground. The attack that Azure had inflicted went straight through Crimson's back.
Crimson's eyes were wide as blood flowed from his open injury. Azure walked over to him and knelt down.
Crimson tightened his hands into fists and asked, "Why? Azure, why?"
Azure gave out a small chuckle as he said, "You foolish creature. I did this because that's what she asked of me."
"Azure, why did you change? What about Violet? How could you forget her?" Crimson asked as his eyes tightened from the pain.
Azure's eyes narrowed and he grabbed Crimson by his hair and pulled it up. "How dare you talk to me like that! You have no right!"
Uranus kicked Azure back and said, "I don't know what the hell is going on but how could you injure your own teammate! I won't allow you to harm him any further."
Azure regained his balance and smirked, "What are you going to do to stop me?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pluto watched as Saturn continued to take steps back. ".........Saturn."
Saturn stopped and looked to Pluto. He shook his head no and turned around and ran.
"Saturn!" Pluto yelled chasing after him before he fell to his knees in pain.
Serena ran to Pluto's side and asked, "Are you all right?"
"Saturn.........don't blame him.........he has his ways.........for a reason," Pluto struggled to say. His eyes closed as he fell unconscious.
"Pluto!" Serena yelled in worry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Trust Bond Tidal Wave!" Neptune yelled as Turtlea's body disintegrated back into an actual turtle that was dead. Neptune looked in the direction Uranus was and saw what was going on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Azure kicked Uranus in the jaw and laughed as he watched him fall to the ground. Uranus stood up, wiped the blood from the side of his mouth, and got ready to attack. Azure ran at Uranus and wrapped his hands around his neck. Uranus struggled to force the hands off but it didn't work.
Crimson forced his arms to get him to his knees and took out the bottle Pumpkin had given him a while back. He looked at it and forced the top of it off. He drank the whole bottle and was about to cough it up when a hand covered his mouth.
Crimson looked to the owner and saw Pumpkin kneeling there by his side. Pumpkin gave him a smile and said, "You have to drink every last bit. Azure isn't himself anymore. I knew ever since the first time he met the queen."
Crimson swallowed all the contents that was in the bottle and looked to Azure who was still holding Uranus by the neck. "The queen wants me dead. You know he wouldn't do on his own accord."
"Crimson, you have to leave. You have to leave all of us. If you don't, then........." Pumpkin said as he stopped what he was going to say. He stood to his feet and said, "I've said too much. I have to go."
Pumpkin disappeared leaving Crimson there to watch in confusion at what he was about to say. Crimson stood to his feet. His injury had healed completely. Negative energy formed throughout his body as he teleported out of there.
Azure watched as his target had left and released Uranus from his grip. He smiled and said, "I guess this is the end. I'll be off."
Azure disappeared from the scene as Uranus gasped for air. Neptune ran to his side and helped him to his feet.
The two then went to where the girls had gathered. Uranus ran to Pluto's side and asked, "Is he okay? What happened to him?"
"Your leader beat him up," Darien answered.
Neptune narrowed his eyes as he asked, "Just who are you?"
"I'm Tuxedo Mask. Now will you mind explaining who you are?" Darien asked.
Neptune smiled and walked over to Pluto and picked him up taking him into his arms. He began walking away with Uranus following behind as he said, "Maybe another time."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crimson wandered around the halls of the castle looking left and right for Pumpkin. "Kin! Kin, where are you!?" He ran down the dark halls disappearing in the shadows.
The sound of chains stirred in the chamber where the queen was. She gave out a small smirk and said, "My dear, Pumpkin, to think that I would allow you to go on with your knowledge. But I must know why you didn't tell your dear Crimson."
The chains stirred once more and Pumpkin was on the wall completely bound by the chains. He narrowed his eyes at the queen and yelled, "You heartless being! Release me now!"
"Are you going to answer my question?" the queen asked once more.
Pumpkin looked to the side and said, "No matter what I do the future that I see can never be prevented. I've known that ever since you came. From now on, Crimson has to go on with his future his own way."
