Death Can Not Stop True Love

Chapter Eleven – The Truth it Reveled


Princess Serenity stood on her balcony watching the Earth. She just adored the sight it made. With all its blues and greens. It looked like a precious jewel in the night sky. To bad the Moon didn't look that pretty in the Earth's eye. It was just plain old grayish.
She was daydreaming of Earth's shinning Prince, Prince Endymion. She loved him with all her being and knew that he loved her just as much in return. She missed him, even though she saw him almost everyday. But lately, he had been stuck on Earth, caught up with the fast approach of War. She sighed. She always missed him so much when he wasn't with her.
Serenity snapped out of her quiet daydream by a familiar voice, "Serenity!"
She smiled. "Endymion! Finally, you're here!" She yelled down to him. He stood in front of the large set of stairs the lead up to the Moon palace. He looked worried.
"I have some bad news, Princess!" They were a sense of dread in his words.
"You can not come to the ball?" Serenity asked him worryingly.
"If it were only that, Serenity." He said sadly.
Serenity gasped. She was very concerned and scared now. She hated bad news. Especially when it came from Endymion.
"Terrible things are happening on Earth. An evil force is taken over there." Endymion said.
"Oh, then you must go" She didn't want him to leave her, but she knew he had to. She would miss him so much though.
"Yes, but by the time I get back home, it may already be too late. This Queen Beryl appeared out of nowhere. No one knows who she is or where she came from. And her warriors are amazingly strong, maybe even unbeatable…"
"Stop him! He could be a spy! A guard shouted. Endymion looked at them worryingly.
"Listen, I better go!" He ran off before Serenity could stop him.
"Endymion. Oh, they must suspect everyone from Earth." She said worryingly.
The guards started to run after them as quickly as they could. "Hurry! After him!!!" They shouted.

Serenity ran down the stairs, which lead to the ballroom. The ball was on, and people were dancing and laughing. Half way down the stairs, someone grabbed her hand," Princess may I have this dance?" Serenity looked down to see Endymion dressed in a black tuxedo with a cape and mask. "Could be our last one."
Endymion led Serenity out onto the dance floor. Her dress sparkled in the spot light. Making her look like something out of a dream. He held out his hand as she grabbed in. "I'm so happy you came back." She said delightfully.
"I couldn't leave without having one last dance with you." They slowly started to sway together. "I'm afraid all this is going to change Serenity." He twirled her out of his arms and back in. Her gown swayed around her. "This Beryl is more dangerous then I thought. The whole universe is in danger."
Endymion bent her back and brought her back up into his arms. "Even the Moon?"
"Especially the Moon. Beryl plans to take over the whole Universe and to do that she must first conquer the Moon." He twirled her back out and in again. He held her close. "You must be prepared for the worst, Serenity."
She nestled her head into his chest. "You mother knows I'm not a spy. She has asked me to stay and help defend her Kingdom."

"Oh, Endymion. I can not believe this is happening." She said worryingly.
They both stood outside, under the big Earth with it's beauty shinning in their eyes. They stood facing each other, both afraid of what was to come.
"Queen Beryl's relentless, and she'll destroy anything that's in her way to get exactly what she wants! I'll fight as hard as I can." Serenity looked even more worried and scared as she listened.
"But you must know, I… might not come back. I just want you to know how much you mean to me."
Serenity stared at him with loving, sad eyes which were starting to tear up. "I do."
He stared back t her with the same loving feelings shinning on his eyes. "Your in my heart."
"And you'll always be in mine." She said closing her eyes.
Endymion took her into his arms and gently kissed her. The kiss was of the lightness butterfly kisses but spoke of more love then any other kiss before it. As the kiss went on, Serenity started to cry and her tears sparkled in the Earth's light before it was covered in darkness.

Metailla's warriors raged from the Earth like a giant flood. Men screamed with rage as the started to destroy the Moon Kingdom. Their swords gleamed in the light of the Moon.
"We're under attack! Under Attack!!!" Luna yelled as she and Artemis ran through the crowds of people in the ballroom. The People stared staring at one another in shock.
"Get ready for battle! We need everyone we can get to fight! Hurry! To the Weapon camber!!!" Artemis yelled.
Metailla's army attacked, destroying everything in their path. Metallia used her powers to destroy the palace as her army destroy the warriors of the Moon.
"Mercury, bubbles…blast!!!"
"Mars, fire…ignite!!!"
"Jupiter, thunder…Crash!!!"
"Venus, crescent beam… Smash!!!"
Their powers combined into one and was sent flying towards Metailla. She absorbed their powers and added them to her own. The Sailors gasped.
"Ha, ha, ha. Pathetic humans, I will vanquish you!" She raised her giant arm and sent a ball of green energy towards them. They all screamed in agony as they were whirled away to another dimension.
Her army ran through the place like a stand pied. Queen Beryl laughed. "Very soon the entire Universe will be under my control. I'll have Queen Serenity begging for mercy. No one can defeat the Negavrse. The Universe is no longer!!!" She raised her staff and a great power came from within it which started to destroy the remaining pieces of the Palace. "Only the Negaforce will prevail!" Malachite laughed with joy!!
More structures started to fall and fly into the air towards Metailla, who was a giant cloud of darkness above the Moon. She laughed as well at the beautiful sight.

Princess Serenity watched helplessly from her balcony, staring at all the destruction. She was scared of this war.
Suddenly, Queen Beryl appeared in front of her. Serenity gasped covering her mouth.
"Well, if it isn't little miss Moon Princess. All dressed up with no place to go, excepted, oblivion." She charged Serenity with her long nails. Serenity stepped away from her and threw her arms up in front of her face.
Just before Queen Beryl could hit Serenity, a red rose flew in between them. Both Serenity and Beryl screamed.
Queen Beryl stared to her left, "Who are you?" She asked, staring at the young man dressed in armor who stood before her.
"I'm Prince Endymion. Sworn to protect the Moon Kingdom against evil like you." He jumped up between Serenity and Beryl, raising his cape up to shield Serenity.
"Prince Endymion from Earth. I've heard of you. You have great promise." Endymion stared at her with evil eyes.
"Well, I can see why she'd hang onto you. But your wasting your time with this twit. Why not come join the taste of winning Endymion. We could rule the Negaverse together." She hissed like a snake at the end of her sentence.
Endymion was in no moo foe this. "Thanks, but no thanks Beryl. Why would I want to join forces with a slim like you. All evil and twisted and full of bitterness."
Beryl got steamed at that statement. "Oh, no one speaks to Queen Beryl like that!!!" She screamed at him.
Metailla sent a surge of power towards Endymion and Serenity. Endymion covered Serenity, but he was swiped up into the air. Serenity was left lying on the ground. "Endymion, what is happening?" She yelled to him.
"Run Serenity, just run!"
"No Endymion. I want to be with you!" She started running towards him.
"No you can't! Serenity don't!!" He yelled Justas she threw herself off the balcony and was sent flying towards him. "Serenity!!!"
Serenity screamed. She reached out her hand. He grabbed onto her. Metallia got mad seeing this and threw another surge of power at them. Serenity and Endymion screamed in agony as they were ripped away from each other.
"Endymion!!!"
"Serenity!!!"
They both were sent flying in different directions and never saw each other alive again.

Endymion looked up. The Moon Kingdom was destroyed but the warriors were still fighting. He couldn't see Serenity any where. 'Please say she's all right!' He thought to himself.
He stood and started to scan the battle field as he started to walk. He couldn't see Serenity any where. He was afraid that he had lost her.
A familiar voice spoke from behind him, "Endymion, help me!" Endymion whirled around to see Zentraff crawling towards him.
Endymion ran to his side. "Zentarff, oh my God!" Endymion tried helping him to his knees.
"Endymion, you have to kill me. Metallia is trying to turn me. I can't fight her anymore." Zentraff grabbed Endymion's arms.
"Zentarff I can't kill you. You're my best friend, and I know you can fight this. Don't give into hatred." Zentraff pulled Endymion's sword out and put his hands on it. He put the tip of the sword on his chest. "Just do it, now. Before you get hurt."
"Zentraff, I can't." Endymion tried to take his hands off the sword, but Zentraff wouldn't let him.
"Yes, you can." Endymion pulled the sword away from Zentraff's hands and dropped the sword in front of him. "I won't do it." He stood and turned his back towards him.
"Then you die." Endymion turned back to face Zentraff. He had His sword in his hands. He pointed the sword at Endymion's chest.
Endymion didn't say anything or do anything. He knew his friend was gone and he couldn't do anything about it.
"This is for turning on me and Metailla for you stupid bitch, Serenity! I'm going to kill her after I'm done with you." Zentraff raised the sword.
