Chapter 2: The Dream

Darien sat in detention deep in thought. He knew his team alone could not always defeat all that came their way, especially if they got a lead on the whereabouts of the Demonic Dragons.

We need extra help, but there's no one else… He sighed and ran his hand through his hair, feeling rather drowsy. As time ticked on, his head began nodding back and forth until his face finally collapsed onto the desk in front of him as he fell asleep, drool already beginning to run down his chin.

…………………

Where am I? Darien was fully transformed into Prince Earth and was standing outside of a colossal palace. He was leaning against one of the columns, looking out at the stunning fountains and night sky. Earth could be seen at a distance.

Am I on the moon?

His thoughts were interrupted when he felt two slender arms wrap around his waist. In surprise he whipped around and instantly locked eyes with the stranger.

She was beautiful, to say the least. Milky white skin with soft blue eyesmade her irrestible, not to mention thelong blonde hair flowing behind her. Her dress was formfitting at the top and loosened slightly at the bottom in waves of white ruffles.

And her smile… Oh her sincere smile held the most beautiful pearls in the world. He stared at her openmouthed; the eyes behind her mask were full of love.

"Darien, it's such a breathtaking night. I wish it could be like this forever." Her arms reached higher, pulling him into a hug.

My heart will explode if she keeps this up! His face flushed red, embarrassed to be holding this stranger so close. But at the same time she seemed so familiar… I'd probably be able to recognize her if it weren't for that mask.

"Well… we better get back to the Masquerade. People will be wondering where we are." She giggled and pulled his hand toward an entrance only to be held back.

"Darien?" she looked back to see what was keeping him from coming with her.

"Let's just stay here. I only want to be with you on my last night before the first battle." What? Why am I saying these things? It's like I can't control what I'm saying…

"Oh Darien," she threw herself to his chest, weeping, "please let me come with you and the Prince Senshis! You know I can do it. You know I can fight!"

"No! It's too dangerous for a princess." She pushed him away in anger.

"What's wrong? Too proud to let a woman on your stupid Senshi team!"

"How dare you talk about my army that way! We are the ones keeping people like you safe everyday. We risk our lives for you!"

"You'll never change, Prince Earth." She said coldly. She ran back inside, pushing past all those who stood in her way.

"Why can't you understand? I can't loose you!" Darien whispered staring in her direction. "I love you."))

…………………

RING! Darien practically fell out of his desk when he heard the dismissal bell for detention. What a strange dream…

He groggily got out of his desk and gathered all of his stuff. Better call the guys and find out where they are.

He tried to keep his mind off the dream but it was hard not to. It wasn't one of those average weird dreams where everyone is running around naked and singing children songs. It felt as if it were real… No, more like it was a memory from the past.

"Why am I so messed up?" he wailed walking round a corner. Shit!

Darien rolled to his left as something that resembled fire flew at him with force. Students and teachers were screaming as Darien scanned the scene behind some lockers. A Demonic Dragon!

"Senshis get over to the school ASAP!" Darien yelled into his communication watch, "We've got a dragon on our hands."

"We'll hurry!" the Prince Senshis called back.

"Time to suit up," Darien smirked holding his watch in the air, "Earth battle power!"

A light flashed and instantly he was wearing powerful yet weightless battle armor. The Imperial Sword, glowing powerfully,hung in a sheath at his side. (A/N: I thought it'd be too girly and perverted for him to have a drawn out transformation like Sailor Moon.)

He charged down the narrow hallway and twisted left, running into the Dragon. It was about 20 feet tall with jagged spikes running down its spine. The most gruesome sight was its flesh,colored scarlet from the dried blood dripping down its body.

Darien searched the hallway with his eyes to make sure no one was actually hurt. While his head was turned away from the dragon it brought out its three sharp claws and struck his back rapidly.The attack was powerful enought to slashthrough his silver armor,cutting his back in several places

"Ahh!" he hollered as he dove to the ground. He heard voices in the distance and attempted to listen carefully. Senshis?

"Don't worry Prince Earth, we've got your back." to his relief it was the Senshis, clad in their own shining armor.

"Mercury fog emblem!" Prince Mercury created a haze in the air by waving his sword above his head, giving Jupiter time to pull Darien to safety.

The dragon thrashed its tail about in frustration. He could see the Princes' outlines jumping around but his tail never came in contact with any one of them.

"Mars flamethrower blade!" Prince Mars took his sword and wrapped it in a burning inferno. He tossed the baking blade at the dragon, but the flame burnt out as soon as it touched the dragon's impenetrable scales.

"What the hell?" Mars stepped back in shock.

"Lemme try," Prince Jupiter roared with his sword at hand, "Jupiter lightening sniper!"

A thousand shots of electricity flew at the dragon. But even at the dangerous jolt levels, they failed to leave a mark. It smirked at them relentlessly, knowing it had the advantage.

"Darien we need you to use the Imperial Sword, we're not strong enough!" Prince Venus said nervously when his attacks fell unsuccessful also.

"I'll try." Darien struggled to draw the Sword from its sheath and hold it up straight. It was useless, he couldn't even stand up. "Try combining your attacks!"

"Right." Each Prince stood and raised their swords in the air

"Venus!"

"Mars!"

"Jupiter!"

"Mercury!"

"Ultimate senshi earthquake!"

The school began to shake as the attack spiraled full-force at the dragon. However, it easily countered the Prince Senchis attacks and stood its ground, practically smirking at their failure. Lowering its head while opening its mouth, it prepared for one last, devastating attack.

Without warning a blazing ball of fire hurdled toward the Senshis. Prince Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter fell into shock as they coiled to the ground, their bodies were limp and still. Each one was severly burnt and helpless.

Oh please… someone help us! Darien looked up weakly to see the dragon charging at him, preparing for another attack

Only seconds away from being finished by the dragon, a mysterious person jumped in front of them and twirled their sword tauntingly at it.

"Hey butthead, over here!" the dragon whipped its head angrily and began tocharge the new warrior, his armor shined strangely with a crescent moon imprinted on the chest plate.

Darien watched quietly, paralyzed from the dragon's previous attack. He was captivated by this new warrior…The guy looked just like a senshi and the skill he was demonstrating as he fought the dragon was amazing. He was just as good as the rest of the team.

"Who are you?" Darien whispered as his head collapsed to the floor, a small pool of blood gathering around his limp form.
