There Is Still Some Hope

Darien looked at the black hole in the wall. It had showed him what Serena was doing. Most of the time she was in bed resting. She was obviously living her worst nightmare. He watched as Serena lay in bed. He couldn't do anything.

One thing helped Serena the most, good news about the missing piece. It always seems to cheer her up, nothing else. Everyday Rei would walk to Andrew's house and ask him if the piece was ready. All he said was 'No, but I'm getting closer.' Rei would take that information to Serena. It cheered her up just a bit.

"When would that piece finished?" Serena asked one day. It had been two months since Andrew started working on the project. She was now seven months pregnant and she couldn't wait any longer.

"We have no idea Serena. You just need to be patient," Mina said. Lita walked to the bed with a tray filled with delicious food. Serena slowly sat up as Lita got closer.

"Here's your lunch Serena. I hope you like it." Lita placed the tray of food on Serena's lap. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating the rice. It was nicely flavoured. Mina's mouth watered at the food. There was some soup, a dish of nicely decorated seafood, noodles and a glass of water. Lita noticed Mina drooling of the food,

"Wait there Mina, there are some extras if you like that." Mina nodded her head.

She sniffed the air. Her lunch was coming. Serena looked at Mina. She was acting like a dog.

"Here you go. Now I'm hungry myself. I'll share with you Mina. I can't be bothered to get some food of my own." Mina snatched her food away from Lita.

"No! This is my food!" Mina started eating like a starving man.

"Bitch," Lita whispered. The blonde looked up at Serena.

"Why aren't you eating that? It's the best food that you'll get!"

"I'm not so hungry. I lost my appetite."

"Lita, you could eat Serena's food!" Mina said.

"I can't! It's her food." Serena shook her head. She felt dizzy. She laid her onto the pillow and soon fell asleep.

"Shhh, don't wake her up. She needs her rest," Lita said. Mina nodded her head and the two left.

Darien sighed in relief. Serena was now resting. He noticed that a few ats were gnawing on his clothes.

"Get off!" Darien shouted as he tried to shake them off. The rats ran away from Darien. He sighed again. He had lost his only company. Pharaoh 90 came and unlocked the cell's doors. He then unlocked Darien's chains.

"Can I go outside please? I need some fresh air."

"Ask the prince. He will tell you." So Pharaoh 90 took him to Prince Diamond. Darien asked him if he could go outside. Prince Diamond allowed him to.

He shaded his eyes from the sunlight. He was used to the dark. Once Darien got used to the sunlight, he looked around planet Churn. It was like a haunted forest, but since planet Churn was close to the sun, the forest was a deserted forest. Darien wasn't surprised at what he saw.

"You have five minutes and then we're going back inside." Darien savoured his tiny bit of freedom. He smiled once he took a deep breath. It calmed him down.

"Time's up!" Pharaoh 90 led him inside the building. Darien took a quick look at where he was being held at. It was just like Crystal Tokyo's except black and smaller. He wondered how such a thing could be built.

Pharaoh 90 threw Darien back into his cell and locked the door. He forgot to lock him up in his chains. Darien was glad that those chains weren't around his wrists. Thoughts of Serena haunted him. He tried not to think about her. He tried to think about his work, but couldn't. He was a doctor and thought about Serena giving birth instead of his work and studies. He thought of what he could think about. Then something flashed into his mind, a plan to escape. He started thinking of what he could do.

Andrew ran to Rei's temple. He was waving his right arm in the air. People looked at him and thought he was crazy.

Rei, who was sweeping the stairs of the temple, noticed him. She dropped her broom and ran to him.

"Is it finished?" she asked.

"Yes. We'll be able to find Darien incredibly soon."

"Cool cause Serena, well, she's ill."

"She is? Then why didn't you tell me? I could've tried to do it a lot faster!"

"Well, it's too late now. We need to put this piece into the machine, the sooner the better." The two ran up the stairs and into the temple.

"Serena, it's almost done! We just need to put it into the machine!" yelled Rei. Serena jumped out of bed and ran to Rei's voice.

"Quick, I can't stand another minute without Darien!" Andrew walked up to Serena.

"Are you okay Serena? Rei told me that you were ill."

"I'm fine. I just want Darien back!" Serena pushed Andrew out of the way. He rubbed his head. 'Wow, I never Serena to anything like that before,' he thought.

Rei put the most important part into the machine. She turned it on. Nothing happened. Rei looked at Andrew.

"Why isn't it working Andrew?"

"It is!" he said. Andrew pointed his finger at the machine. "See for yourself." Rei turned and saw the machine started up. A small satellite popped up from the top. Lights were turned on and a small screen appeared.

"Cool," Serena said. Ami, Lita and Mina looked as well. Ami's eyes opened wide. She was amazed at what Andrew could do. She thought that Andrew was only able to make milkshakes, clean glasses and help people at some games, not making really useful items.

'Here, this might help you, just in case you get lost," Andrew said as he gave a small, red remote to Rei.

"Thanks." Something appeared on the screen. It had some weird symbols.

"These look familiar," Serena said. Everyone turned to her.

"How could you possibly know about this?" Ami asked.

"I come from the moon, douh!" Serena started to read what was on the screen. "It says Planet Churn."

"Churn?" Rei asked. "There's no such planet!"

"Well, there is Rei, believe it or not."

"How are we going to get there?" Mina asked.

"Sailor Teleport of course!" Serena said. The four girls all nodded their heads and took out their transformation sticks.

"Moon Eternal, Make Up!"

"Mercury Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Mars Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Jupiter Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Venus Crystal Power, Make Up!" Andrew watched as the girls transformed. The sailor scouts stood there.

"I may have worn this yesterday but still it seems like it's been years!" Sailor Mars said.

"Same here," said Sailor Jupiter. The small locater lay on the floor. Sailor Mars picked it up. The scouts held each other's hands.

"Mars Power!"

"Mercury Power!"

"Jupiter Power!"

"Venus Power!"

"Moon Power!"

"Sailor Teleport!" They all shouted. They left in a flash.
