Chapter 4: The Nightmare
"Hey honey! How was school?" Darien trudged into his house, feeling beat.
"Fine Mom."
"What'd you do today?" she smiled. Ugh why is she so persistent?
"Nothing." That was pretty much the truth. He could hardly concentrate with all the recent events flooding his mind.
His mom sighed as he went upstairs to his room. The room was not too small but not too big. It was painted black with a few posters of his favorite bands on the wall… The Pillows, Blink 182, Coldplay, etc.
He fell back onto his bed and sighed. Why am I so distracted all of a sudden? It can't all be because of Prince Moon… can it?
He reached into his pocket and pulled out the moon locket. After studying it for a while, he ran his fingers over the cool surface. To his surprise, the locket popped open and began playing a relaxing melody.
Darien closed his eyes and felt himself slowly slipping away from reality. A little sleep couldn't hurt…

(("Prince Earth we are being overtaken by the Demonic Dragons! There's too many!" Darien looked around as his troops fell. The dragons were incredibly powerful!
"What do we do Prince Earth?" Prince Venus asked desperately. Darien paused to think.
"Retreat! Everyone!" the army began to run and Darien stepped up. "Go now Prince Venus."
"But Darien-"
"GO!" Prince Venus nodded and held back tears. You are the bravest leader of all.
The dragons tried to follow the troops but were stopped by a barrier. Darien was holding up the shining Imperial Sword, creating the invisible wall. The dragons turned their attention to the prince, their eyes burning with anger.
"You fool, we'll crush you!" one Dragon Master shouted. "Charge!"
Darien swung his sword and a blinding light emerged, killing a few dragons flying his way. There's too many. Even with the Imperial Sword I am but one man… They'll kill me for sure.
He shot through the sky, tearing dragons to pieces. Slowly his energy was diminishing, making him weaker by the minute. One dragon finally caught hold of him and bit into his shoulder.
"Ah!" he cried as he fell from the sky, his shoulder oozing blood. The Imperial Sword dropped beside him when he hit the ground.
Darien struggled to reach for it but he was severely paralyzed. His eyes grew large as one Dragon Master approached him.
"Prince Earth, eh? You're not as strong as the rumors say." His arm darted out and he clamped his hand around Darien's neck, strangling him.
"You'll never be able to wield the power of the Imperial Sword!" Darien choked.
"We'll have to see about that…" his grip tightened and Darien knew his life was coming to an end.
My princess… I wish I could see your face one more time.
"STOP!" a voice came from behind the Dragon Master. The Imperial Sword had been thrown by someone and shot right through the Master's back.
"Arg!" the Dragon Master released Darien and fell to his side. A girl in warrior armor and a mask stood in Darien's view, tears streaming down her face.
"Darien!" she began running to him. Princess Serenity!
"No watch out!" Darien yelled.
A dragon spike flew in slow motion at her. He ran with all his might. I can't loose her!
"Uh." The spike struck her in the side and she collapsed to the ground.
"SERENTIY!" the last straw. Tears wildly flew from his eyes as he gathered her limp body in his arms.
"I'm sorry, Darien." She whispered, wiping his tears with her palms. Her head dropped to his chest as she began to loose consciousness. He held her close, feeling her warm blood in his hands.
"Why… why did you come?" he was trembling.
"I didn't want to loose you." She sniffed.
"…" he watched her fading away.
"Take this…" with her last strength she handed him a locket. It opened and played the melody that seemed so bittersweet and sad at the moment. "Darien… I love you."
He brought his lips to hers, hoping to hold onto her for a little while longer. Her body became still and weightless. She was gone.
"NO!" Darien's rage burned. He held his hand out and the Imperial Sword instantly flew into his hand. "You-You'll all pay!"
His body burned a white light as he leapt through the air, killing all dragons and Masters in sight. He was possessed by revenge.
Prince Earth finally landed, dragonheads and limbs falling behind him. It was a dragon graveyard, everything dead. Still, Darien wasn't satisfied.
"Imperial Earthquake!" he roared, striking the ground with the Imperial Sword.
The ground shook and the earth began cracking where the Sword had landed. A blast of energy fell over the entire Moon, killing everything instantly.
Darien held Serenity's body close to him once again. He brushed her hair back in angst.
"Everyone… everything will be reborn on Earth. This is the past. Our future begins now… A world without the Demonic Dragons." He stared at her face, still beautiful.
"We shall meet again." He put his hand to her face. His finger took hold of the mask and began removing it slowly…))
…………………
"Uh!" Darien jumped awake in a cold sweat. He put a hand to his forehead and began breathing heavily.
Oh God! I killed… everyone! A queasy feeling overwhelmed him as he sprinted to the bathroom and threw his head in the bend. He began to vomit senselessly.
Once stable, he stumbled back into his room and into his bed. It was pitch black outside with only the stars and moon providing a little light. Moonlight streamed through the window and onto Darien. A shiver pierced his spine and crawled up his back at the feeling.
I don't know what to do. Should I tell the senshis about my dreams? He looked down at the watch on his wrist. They had tried to get in contact with him for the message alert light was blinking. They're probably worried…
Furiously, he took off his watch and threw it on his nightstand. No! They'd just make fun of me or something. They never take me seriously.
He looked out the window and tears stung his eyes. What's wrong with me? He felt the locket under his covers and retrieved it. Just looking at it brought back memories of her… the girl in his dreams. The one he killed for.
I need to find out who Prince Moon is. I need him to tell me everything about this locket. Everything about the past. Everything about her.
Darien laid down again and his eyes closed slowly. He fell asleep, this time with no new dreams.
Prince Moon…help me find her.
