Chapter 18-- School Again, Serena's change.

Monday morning, Serena got to school (on time and early) and sat down.

'Boy, what a mess I've made.'

Mrs. Haruna came in and took roll. Amy and Lita noticed that it was as if Serena had never left. The only difference was that Mrs. Haruna didn't say anything about Serena being there early. During class, Serena was attentive and alert. She answered most of the questions with ease. At lunch, the scouts met up. (Let's say that Mina's and Raye's schools are close.)

"School is boring. I'd rather be fighting." Serena sighed.

Raye snickered, "So, back to old habits?"

"Actually," Amy interrupted, "Serena has been paying attention very well and is completely turned around."

Raye looked at Serena in shock. Serena smiled sweetly. Screams were heard from the school, and the girls stood up. People ran by.

"What's wrong?" Mina yelled.

One girl slowed a little, "A monster….RUN!"

The girls ran to the building and saw a goblin type of monster. Each of the girls looked at each other.

"Transform!" yelled Serena.

"Mars Star Power!"

"Mercury Star Power!"

"Jupiter Star Power!"

"Venus Star Power!"

After the inners transformed, Serena took her locket and held it up.

" Galaxy Moon Power!"

Serena was enveloped with multi-colored wings and the symbols of all the planets went into her. A flash of light, and the wings turned to ribbons. They wrapped around her and she bent down and touched the ground slowly bending back up, she mad a little circle with her finger and the ribbons started from her feet on up, wrapping in a circler pattern. Finally her hand in the air, she snapped her fingers and the ribbons formed her sailor uniform.

"Hey, goblin face. Why don't you attack us instead of innocents, I am the sailor of life and death, guided by the goddess Selene, I am Galaxy Moon! And on behalf of the galaxy…"

"We shall punish you!" The scouts finished together.

The goblin looked at them then laughed. "You finally arrived….I've been looking forward to meeting you. Cpf k ujcnn dtkpi aqw dcem ykvj og, Rtkpeguu Ugtgpkva." (and I shall bring you back with me, Princess Serenity.)

Galaxy Moon grinned, "uq aqw mpqy Lunarian?" (So, you know Lunarian?)

The goblin creature screamed and attacked. The scouts jumped out of the way. It pulled out two short swords and grinned.

"Mars Fire Surround!"

The goblin grinned and the fire just raced by him. Galaxy Moon cursed.

"This is a stronger monster….you need to use your Goddess powers."

Jupiter looked at the monster and grinned. "Zeus Lightning Hurricane!"

The goblin screamed in agony. It's eyes locked contact with Galaxy Moon. Galaxy Moon pulled out her bow and cocked an arrow. Pointing it at the creature, Galaxy Moon aimed. "Selene Cosmic Power!" The arrow glowed pure white and once it touched the creature…it disintegrated. The girls de-transformed.

"Did that monster speak Lunarian?" Amy asked the worried Moon Princess.

Serena frowned, "Yes, that means that Hades….no…Francis, " Serena spit out the name, " knows that I can speak it….fcop (damn)….."

Unknown to them a hooded figure watched

Later, Serena went over to the knight's house.

"Malachite!!!!!!" she yelled. The four knights came out with worried expressions.

"Princess, What's wrong?"

Serena started to cry, "The monsters are starting to speak Lunarian and that means Hades, Francis I mean, knows I can but I haven't seen him, nor has he heard me speak it."

Jadeite looked between them. "What's Lunarian?"

Malachite looked at Jadeite before turning to Serena. "Don't worry about it….Ugtgpc? Ctg aqw qm?" (Serena? Are you ok?)

Serena nodded, "K'o qm…..dwv jg mpqyu….I'm afraid." (I'm ok…but he knows.)

Malachite sighed. "So? You can telepath to us."

Serena smiled. Zachary looked at Serena. "Um…Serena, are you ok? You look awfully pale."

Serena shrugged, "Just tired…with everything that's gone on, I haven't rested much."

Zachary walked over, after turning into his human form again. He felt Serena's forehead and jerked back. "Great Goddess Selene, Serena you are burning up."

Serena looked at him. "But I'm fine…." She fell and Zachary caught her. Nathen spoke first.

"What's wrong?"

Zachary shook his head. "Not sure, but she is one sick Princess."

'I'm so tired…and so heavy.'

Serena opened her eyes and saw that she was in a bed in a room. Zachary was next to her ringing out a wash cloth. He turned and smiled.

"Hey Serena, just stay laying down. You have a bad fever. Don't worry, ok?"

Serena weakly smiled and fell back to sleep.

**Dream**

'The eclipse!'

Serena turned and looked across the landscape.

'Oh…no…what happened?'

People were laying motionless and buildings were destroyed.

'What happened? Where is everyone?'

Serena heard a noise and turned. She saw a blast happen and saw it come toward her.

'Oh..no…Someone HELP ME!' Serena screamed. A white light started to shin behind her. She turned and saw a woman.

'Goddess….'

**End Dream**

"Selene?" Serena said as she bolted up in bed. Kevin was sitting next to her.

"Selene? Serena are you ok?" Kevin asked quizzically. Serena turned her head toward him.

"Don't worry about it." Serena whispered. A knock on the door stopped Kevin's question's. He opened it and Darien walked in.

"Hey, Sere." He said sitting next to her.

"Darien…." Serena whispered. Kevin left quietly.

"Serena, Are you ok?" asked Darien. Serena nodded. Darien smiled, "Good, because I want my princess better." The silver crystal flashed suddenly and they vanished.
