Chapter 4- Legend of the Shadows

Hades paled. "What do you mean? You are Anastasia, Outer Moon. You have no other identity."

Ana laughed, "Yes, I do, but you are afraid of it. Moon...." The scouts looked at her.

"...Crystal..."

Mercury gasped, "No way..."

"....Power!" Ana, the one they thought was a normal scout, transformed into Sailor Moon.

"No! Ilanna!" yelled Hades. Ilanna appeared.

"Distroy them. Leave the girl unharmed and bring her back to me." Ilanna prepared her attack.

"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" Ilanna blocked it.

"Pathetic!" she laughed. When she noticed Sailor Moon's smile, she stopped laughing.

"You really are a fool...just like Hades. I knew that you would block it....sooooo.....I fired off two." The second shot became visible and distroyed her.

"Sailor Moon?" half asked-half hoped Venus. Saturn walked up.

"It's good to see you again, Princess. I see that our plan worked."

Moon giggled, "The looked on all of your faces were priceless."

"What is going on?" asked Jupiter.

"I'm sure that the princess will tell us what is going on."

Moon nodded, "But let's go somewhere private." Uranus nodded.

"Let's go to our place."

Meanwhile......"That Child!" yelled Hades. he threw a chair. Pandora looked up from her nails. "I have to admit, he's never been this unnerved."

"I agree. He isn't his normal self." added Nightshade. Corlite came in. "I guess that girl, Serenity, escaped him."

"All right, Serena, answers. Now." ordered Trista.

Serena grinned, "OK. First, the shadow warriors are sort of mercenaries. Back in the Silver Millennium, Beryl convinced them to aid her in a early attack, The day before it was distroyed. The younger scouts, you guys, were training. A misfired attack flew at me. Everyone screamed at me to get down, except I just stood there. I looked at it and it was reflected. The Outer Moon symbol formed on my forehead. Soon after that, a attack came from the Negaverse. I transformed into Outer Moon, subconsciously, and joined the fight. I ended up fighting the shadow warriors. Instead of killing them, I sealed them away. When Queen Serenity sent me to the future, she locked away my powers. Hades, the seventh shadow, realized that he could try to use this to his advantage. He awakened my powers and erased my memories relating to my life. Slowly, they returned and I came to your side again."

Amy nodded, "So that's why you were so persistent on the outers working with the inners."

"Right. I figured that if they were confronted by a stronger outer scout that they would go and help the inners." Serena said.

"So, what are your powers? As Outer Moon?" asked Michelle. Serena looked down.

"Well, I'm not sure. I know that I carry the power of death. I know that as Outer Moon, I have a bit more psychic power. I should have dreams about people that I...I.." Trista put her hand on Serena's shoulder.

"That you should kill?" The scouts gasped at Serena's nod. Trista looked at the scouts.

"Serena's powers are controlled. She dreams about the person who she is dying or needs to. She's like a grim reaper." Serena looked up.

"I only kill living things that have the Outer Moon symbol above their head. I can also bring people back, but only those that were not meant to die."

"Do you know of any?" asked Hotaru.

"Yes, the generals." Serena said flatly. The inners gasped.

"No way, They were evil..." Raye started. Serena closed her eyes. Images of the generals evil and her last visit with the spirits of those same people but...

"No way, we are not letting those negatrash walk on this Earth." Raye finished, snapping Serena out of her thoughts. Serena clenched her hands and tensed. Trista glanced over.

"Serena. calm down please." The group looked at her. Raye gasped and put her hand to her throat. Trista grabbed Serena while Hotaru put a hand on Serena's forehead. Raye was realized and Serena collapsed.

"What happened?" Mina asked. Trista shock her head.

"Serena, reverted back to right after her memory was lost. The question is...why?' Hotaru took her hand back.

"She's not whole." They turned to her.

"What?" asked Amara.

"Part of her soul is missing. She needs it back in order to control her powers." Hotaru said with a hint of steel in her voice. A group of people went by screaming.

"Here we go again." Lita said pulling out her pen.

"Well, at least it isn't boring anymore." Mina added. They transformed. A man appeared.

"Move out of my way ladies." he said ignoring Tuxedo Mask. "Oh, forgive my rudeness. I am Corlite, second shadow, and unfortunately, I am not interested in you, only in the fair princess of the moon." (He is a major flirt, and too cocky for his own good. :} ) The scouts formed a protective circle. Serena's eyes opened and she saw Corlite.

'Corlite...why is he here?....why am I weak?' Serena stood up. 'I'd better transform.' Uranus stood back as her attack bounced off a shield. Corlite laughed at her. A gold-silver disc hit his hand.

"Hey creep, how dare you try to hurt my friends." a new voice said from the side. "I am Sailor Moon, champion of justice and heir to the moon kingdom, and on behalf of the moon....I shall punish you." Corlite turned to her.

"Ah, the fair Princess Serenity. It is an extreme pleasure to see you. I have an invitation from my lord, for you to come. He wants..." Sailor Moon collapsed. Mercury and Neptune ran over.

"She just fainted from energy loss." Mercury said to the other scouts. Corlite grinned.

'Good. Now that it is easier perhaps I can persuade one of these ladies to join my side...' He moved forward only to be hit by a black sphere.

AAAAAHHHHHH! A cliff hanger.....hehehe, I always wanted to say that. I wanted to remind you that Sailor Moon is not mine. 'NNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!' Please review. I will accept good or bad. Next time you will find out where that blast came from. Hopefully, I will have the next chapter up soon. See ya
