The girls and Darien had each spent sleepless night and rose early to meet Luna and Artemis in the temple.
Both Luna and Artemis saw that Darien looked a wreck, and they knew that no matter how safe they assured him that Serena was, he would not be satisfied apart from him.
"Girls you remember once how I told you that all of you were Princesses of your own respective planets and that Darien was the Prince and Protector of the Earth?" They all nodded.
"All of you lost your lives the night the kingdom was attacked, and it was Queen Serenity who allowed all of you to be sent forward in time, you were to have no memory of what happened for she hoped all of you would have better lives in the future and that if the need ever arose that Artemis and I would awaken your past and give you the power to protect yourselves and the Moon Princess. But there were two that when they were reborn a thousand years into the future they retained their memory. Princess Serena and her twin brother Prince Andrew." Luna paused her to welcome the small look of relief that crossed Darien's face…she knew that as she continued that it would not last. But a light from behind her kept her from continuing.
Prince Andrew appeared before all of them, and Darien forced himself to keep from attacking the man that had stolen his beloved Serena. To his surprise Prince Andrew kept fading in and out.
"He must be some sort of hologram, and by the way he is fading in and out he must be running out of power." Ami walked closer to the hologram as she spoke and put her hand through the image, and as she did so the image began to speak.
"I am sorry Luna and Artemis, I had planned to arrive earlier and spare you having to tell the story, but the attack on the Moon Kingdom happened sooner than planned." The image disappeared completely and gradually came back. "We were all caught off guard, the Princess had fallen and we need your help." Again the image disappeared and all of the waited impatiently for it to come back.
"Oh dear, I hope Serena is alright. But the fact that Andrew seems well is a good sign, though he does seem too weak to project a simple hologram." Luna looked to Artemis who nodded.
"What do you mean? Serena is hurt, we must save her." Darien cried out to Luna who face had a worried frown upon it.
"I am sorry Darien but neither Artemis nor I have the power to take all of you to the Moon Kingdom, only Andrew or Serena has that power. But as long as Prince Andrew is alive, we can be assured that Princess Serena is the same. One twin cannot survive without the other."
The image returned as Luna finished speaking. "I am going to bring you all here, along the way I shall try and transform you so that you can be ready to fight. I hope Endymion that you remember how to fight, for the time has come for us to fight side by side once again."
Without any further warning they were swooped into nothingness only to reappear in a large castle. They had all already been transformed into the sailor scouts, except for Luna, Artemis and Endymion. Endymion once again looked like his Princely self and felt all the stronger for it, and Luna and Artemis took on their old forms, both were very glad to be back on two feet.
Over the balcony before them they could hear shouts as a battle waged outside. They looked out to see an army of red soldiers advancing on the castle. The Moon Kingdom's soldiers had been pushed back to the Palace gates, in front of which stood Prince Andrew throwing balls of pure silver energy into the soldiers and destroying entire rows.
Endymion scanned the battle for Serena but could not find her anywhere. He grew sick with fear that she was dead but then remembered what Luna had told them and felt relief that Andrew was still well enough to stand and fight.
