Chapter 8: Andrews's crystal

Darien, Andrew and mina sat waiting for news of the situation by Raye. Darien had asked his sister to check the fire for why Serena had been able to transform.

It wasn't long before Raye walked in through the automatic doors of the closed arcade. She walked up to them, "Seiya is allowing her to transform. He can hold control over her completely at crysal sailor moon. Any higher his control begins to slip."

"so we need to make her transform to eternal sailor moon." Darien said, Andrew nodded, "hopefully then his control will weaken enough to get her to listen."

"we still need to activate our own crystals she wont break completely free without them."Andrew mentioned, Darien nodded and Raye and mina looked at each other.

"mina and I need to brief Lita and Amy on whats going on."

Darien acknowledge it with a nod before turning to Andrew, "we'll work on yours first."

The girls left as Andrew asked, "how are we gonna do that?"

"transform." Daren ordered kindly, Andrew transformed and once again stood in his armour and cloak, "I want you to focus on what lets you do that."

Andrew nodded closing his eyes searching for that font of energy he felt ignite when he transformed. He heard Darien continue, "once you've found it think of your brotherly love for Serena and your passionate love for mina."

Andrew nodded confirmimg he had heard what was said. Andrew let memories of times and places he had felt the love he felt for mina and Serena surge.

"now think on how you would feel if one or the other died, if not both." Andrew nodded focusing on feelings he had felt whe nhis mother had died and made it so it was Serena or mina. A strong feeling of abandoned love and guilt filled his body, "I want you to combine it all together and aim it at that thing that lets you transform."

Andrew did as he was told trusting Darien completely. As his mixed love and abandoned love and guile struck his font of energy Darien saw Andrew begin to glow telling him his best friend was followinghis instructions, "hold out your hands calling to what you feel now towards them."

Andrew barely heard Darien but held outhis hands letting his overwhelmed body filter the energy oflove to his hands. Before Darien's eyes a smallglowing sphere exited Andrew's body settling in his hands before glowing bright red and becoming a solid form, the ruby crystal lay in Andrew's joined palms. Andrew stopped glowing and opened his eyes, "we did it!"

" no Andrew you did it." Darien smiled joyfully as his friend gripped tightly to the ruby crystal.

"I wouldn't done it if it werent for you." Andrew thanked Darien as Andrew stored it in an empty space in one of his crescent moon broaches holding his cloak before detransforming the broach fell into his hands, "how did you know what to do?"

"I have done it before with Serena accidently, she didn't have to imagine the feelings or direct them somewhere." Darien remembered that day clearly. It had been the day he had first tasted evil.

It had taken him until know to realise he had done it.
