Chapter 13: a plan

Standing solemnly in the middle of the room Darien stared them down each of the occupants in their shame , they all bowed their heads , he knew what they had all been thinking, he too had thought the same thing, "how DARE you! How dare you think such things, she would never betray us, you heard Raye, she didn't know why. She told us the reason why she wrote this I don't even think Pluto knew why do you think she avoided giving this to us directly… because she didn't know, Trista hates to not know something, especially if she is to be asked questions on it!"

They all nodded in agreement, even Andrew knew what Darien meant, sailor Pluto was the Senshi of time, her job is to know everything but in this case it was obvious she didn't.

"We need a plan." Lita said breaking the silence, Lita too hated not knowing and if it were possible she hated it even more then Amy not knowing answers to a test or Trista not knowing something she should. Also her lightning personality made her more impatient to get her first and best friend back, "I think we should lure her out on her own the hit her with the crystals' powers."

"I dunno Lita, it's a good plan but how do we do it, I mean get her away from Seiya." Amy said looking apologetically, Amy knew he had a plan, "okay Darien, what are you planning?"

"My brother always hated me. I think it is about time he had a good fight out." Darien smiled grimly as he took hold of his crystal and held it out at arms length. It hovered above his hand before he willed it to the strongest and closest person to him, it flew to Raye, "I shall have to fight him so I have willed my crystal to the strongest and closest to me, it will only last as long as I want it too."

Raye looked devastated, 'what if he doesn't come back?' was all she thought as Darien moved to his balcony passing the stunned Andrew to the rail, "Darien stop, I cant use this , how am I supposed to help bring her back when it is your love she needs!"

"my crystal will guide you, just let it" and he was gone, Andrew stared at the crystal in Raye's hand as everyone else stared at the space Darien stood last, 'why does he have to be the hero, couldn't we work this out another way?' played across everyone's minds.

Slowly coming out of his shocked trance Andrew took up his royal place and began his commands, "ok you know what you have to do my signal will be a beam of light in the sky, then you need to lure Serena out of the hideout."

They stared at him in disbelief. He had never sounded more in control, "Well what are you waiting for?"
