Chapter 19- Legend of Selene.

Last Time: The scouts learned of a prophases that the Goddess Selene had made. A good portion was still missing and they were stumped. Serena went to the knights house after a monster fight and collapsed due to a fever. She and Darien were teleported away.

"What?! We're on the moon?" Serena looked around in wonder and shock. Darien also was amazed. He then realized that Serena had started to falter in her steps. He quickly went over to support her. She looked at him with a grateful smile. A glow started to from in front of them. It formed into a hologram like image of Queen Serenity. Serena gasped.

"Mama?"

Darien's eyes widened, "Your majesty?"

The dead Queen smiled, "I see that it is time for me to tell you the legend of Selene…Goddess of the Moon and the reason for this whole battle." The land changed and a majestic palace stood. It looked like the Silver Millennium palace but was more elegant…more magical.

"Before the line of Serenity and Anastasia was formed, the ancient Gods and Goddesses of where we receive out powers ruled. Each of them held one planet under their power.

Mercury was the planet of wisdom and technology, and Hermes ruled.

Venus was the love planet, still is, and Aphrodite ruled over this earth-like planet.

Jupiter was the planet of strength and storms. Zeus ruled and no…he did not marry Hera, as has been told.

Mars was the fire planet…also was the warring one. Aries ruled here and although they liked to fight…they were the most peaceful.

Uranus was the sky planet. They were the fastest of all…people of Mercury second. It was under Titan.

Neptune was the water planet. The people there were great fishermen and boat-men. Trition protected them from his underwater home.

Pluto was the time world. It was the one place were time seemed to slow. Portals were created here and moved to other places. Cronos dwelt here.

Saturn was the only dark planet. It was the home of the god of destruction. Hades lived here and was the last line of defense, as always.

Earth was ruled under Gaea. She took care of all the living things on earth. She also taught them how to take care of themselves and rely on themselves. An unusual trait.

Finally there was the Moon. Goddess Selene, the creator of all, the Queen of the gods and goddesses themselves, found an barren land on the moon. Instead of using a planet, she used the moon. Her people were taken from all the planets and they thrived. For thousands of years, peace rained through out the universe. Galaxies were created and more life formed. Then the crisis years started."

The scene changed to one on the moon, in a shrine. A group of people prayed. Suddenly, the doors burst open and people came in with swords drawn. The people had no chance. Serena gasped and buried her face into Darien's chest. He watched the horrors that went on. People slaughtered relentlessly, a new religion forming, innocents lost. Queen Serenity sighed.

" The darker emotions swept the universe. A group of people formed that wanted power from Selene. Selene could only watch helplessly. Finally, she called Hades, Cronos, and Gaea. She told them her plan. Each of the respective God or goddess would have a child. That child would be the new god or Goddess. She then gave the three the last of her news. She would not be reborn like normal. They panicked, for Selene was needed. She is what held the balance. Selene calmed them and then explained. She would have two children, twins, who would have one half of her power. The first would be named Serenity and would be given the Silver Crystal. Her powers would be life. The second one would be Anastasia. She would carry the scythe of the Underworld. This child though would be taken to the remote planet of Outer Moon, so that the two would not meet until it was time. The three were confused. How could the child, Anastasia carry the scythe of the underworld. Selene never told them. She did say, as the last words heard from her, that when the two children combined, she would be reborn."

Serena's eyes widened. "But, Ana and I combined…does that mean?"

"Yes, you are the reborn Goddess."

Serena bit her lip. Part of her wanted to scream unfair, but part of her screamed a sigh of relief. Darien hugged her tightly then looked at the ancient Queen.

"Your majesty, what about the others? What happened?"

The Queen smiled, "They had in total, eight girls and one boy. The sailor scouts and you, Endymion. The children grew and the Gods and Goddesses vanished. Eventually it became legend, until the Moon kingdom…during the Silver Millennium."

Serena's head snapped up. Her blue eyes looked searchingly at the Queen. The Queen smiled and Serena frowned.

"What do you mean?"

Queen Serenity sighed, "You and Anastasia were born on the same day. Even the same minute, just as every princess of the two planets was. Then Anastasia grew up in age faster then you did. Queen Eilonwy sent Anastasia to the moon to help protect you. But in reality it was to protect Ana. After Anastasia was hurt in an attack against you, the news came in that Outer Moon was devastated. Anastasia never truly recovered, although she did learn about love. When she died, her spirit went into you. You were young and was put into a sleep like state. The Queen of Mars at that time came to me privately and told me that you might be the Selene reincarnate. After this, I trained you in the ways of the Goddess, and the ways of her magic."

Serena gasped as she remembered those times. Then suddenly she started to cough violently. Darien held her and looks helpless.

"There is nothing you can do, Prince, except be by her side. She is very sick. The reason Anastasia died was because she contracted a virus that was very deadly to Lunarian and…Outer Lunarians. The Lunar virus stayed in Anastasia's soul and transferred to Serena. So far, it has not effected her. But, Francis will push her, weaken her. You must protect her. What she is going through is difficult and she needs your strength. Serena, my daughter, be strong and don't give in."

Queen Serenity started to fade. Serena cried out and went to reach for her but suddenly found herself and Darien back in the room. Darien looked at Serena. She sat staring in the direction of where Queen Serenity had been. Her face was pale and eye dulled.

'I hadn't noticed how pale she was.'

He hugged her and she relaxed. "Serena? Are you ok?" She nodded and he kissed her on the cheek. "Good."

Malachite came in. His eyes were worried as he saw Serena. "We got a call from Uranus. She says that they made a mistake counting warriors and are facing off with Pandora right now. She also has a horde of gargoyles with her. They are at a stalemate. Are you up to it, Serena?"

Serena frowned. Her eyes darkened a little. "Yes, I am tired of these guys attacking! Galaxy Moon Power!"

Darien transformed quietly and immeaditly picked Galaxy Moon up. She protested but he quieted her and carrying her followed Malachite to the battle. He set her down next to a tree and allowed her to walk out to the others. Pandora stood in an short dress and was very beautiful. A model kind of beautiful. Galaxy Moon glared at her but quickly scanned the scouts for injuries. Mostly banged and bruised, the scouts were ready to fight.

"About time." Mars snapped. Galaxy Moon smiled a bit. Mars did really seem to take after a god of war. She looked at the gargoyles protecting Pandora.

"So, you've finally decided to show up? I don't have time to waste with you. Destroy them." Pandora said with an arrogant tone. One of the creatures went for Saturn, who was the most injured. Galaxy Moon vanished and reappeared in front of it, kicking it away. Another attack her, and she also sent it flying back. Galaxy Moon brought out her bow and cocked and arrow.

"Galaxy Arrow Decimate!" The arrow glowed white and it flew towards the creatures. They stood there frozen, but Pandora shielded them. Galaxy Moon frowned.

'it didn't work. What can I do now?….unless.'

Galaxy Moon raised her hand up into the air. Her tiara vanished and her crescent moon shimmered.

"I call upon my ancient powers given to me as Ugngpg (#1), Grant me the powers of the Moon." Galaxy Moon put her hand up. A ball of light formed and energy started to collect into it. Pandora laughed as the energy stopped right at the peak.

"What's wrong? Why don't you destroy me? Is it that you don't want those people to die?"

"SHUT UP!" Galaxy Moon yelled. The scouts and knights stood helpless. Pandora only continued to taunt the Senshi of the Moon.

"Release that power and kill everything on this pathetic world. Go ahead…if you dare."

Galaxy Moon's eyes filled with tears, "I won't hurt my friends. Outer Moon Protection."

A blackish-silvery barrier surrounded Galaxy Moon, Pandora and the gargoyles. Pandora frowned.

"What are you doing?"

Galaxy Moon smiled, "Destroying you…..Selene Rebirth Activation!" Pandora's face turned to horror as the light in Galaxy Moon's hand grew. The scouts and knights watched as the light engulfed the people and creatures. When it cleared, nothing that had been within the barrier remained. Uranus walked forward really pale.

"Galaxy Moon? Serena? PRINCESS! NO!!!!!!!!"
