Chapter 2:
"Serena hurry up lunch will be over if we don't hurry!" cried Rini pushing me into the living room where everyone waited for me to get there. Last night I didn't really sleep well trying to figure out what was going on that the Outer Sailors would not tell even Darien their future King about.
"I going as fast as I can Rini." laughing as I purposely move slow.
Finally she got me to the living room and everyone hugged me and asked if I was better and fed me food. Once everyone has finished eating Luna and Artemis called a meeting to discuss the reason why Amara and Michelle were here.
"Serena it is wonderful you better and I am glad to see your appetite has returned" teased Michelle though giving me a warm smile with it.
"Haha. Funny you guys you haven't changed since the last time you came to visit either. "While sticking my tongue out at her.
"And neither have you Princess Serena." stated Amara laughing at my appearance.
I admit I do look very silly in Darien's button down blue shirt that I had to role the sleeves up twice and reaches just above my knees. My hair is completely down so it reaches my heels and to top it off I have my face scrunched up and am sticking my tongue out.(Perfect I look like Rini when she has to clean her room.)
"It's not my fault I look like a mess! "Trying to defend my looks.
"Alright enough of that." hissed Luna, being more upset at the fact that I was injured at all has made her angry.(I guess she is nervous about the new enemy being so strong.)
"Luna is right let's get down to business shall we." said Amy as she place her Mercury Computer on her palm beginning to type. Darien turned off the lights as Raye closed the curtains, once completely dark Amara gave Amy a nod, then set her computer on the coffee table. Within seconds a hologram of the Silver Millennium filled the room, Rini was standing in the middle of the planet Mercury and quickly ran into Darien's arms for safety. Although she is a brave and strong Sailor Scout she is still only seven and is scared at times.
"Now we can begin right...now." said Amara looking to the door leading out of Darien's apartment just as Trista and Hotaru enter into the living rooms 3D image.
"Amara I thought I was the Sailor who knew all." said Trista smiling as she greeted everyone in to room.
"The only think I know of time is that you show up just at the right time." replied Amara grinning at the newest arrivals.
"Puu!" squealed Rini as she ran to Trista hugging her.
"Hello Small Lady. It is good to see you too." said Trista hugging Rini back.
"Rini I have brought you someone." said Hotaru, smiling she pulled out a purple kitten with the same crescent moon on her forehead.
"Diana! Oh thank you Hotaru." reaching out to hug her friend as Diana jumped onto Rini's head.
"Hello Rini, I missed you and Neo-Queen Serenity said I may come and stay with you for a while." purred the kitten.
"Eeehemm...I believe we need to explain why we are here Trista, Hotaru can you start?" asked Michelle stepping aside to give the guardian of time the center stage.
"Yes, I believe we must, thank you Michelle."
Taken her place in the middle of planets Jupiter and Uranus, "Luna and Artemis you might remember hearing about the first few years of the Silver Millennium after its creation, correct?"
"Yes we are familiar with the history." replied Artemis.
"Then you remember Jaden" looking at their confused faces she took that as her answer "or not. Then let me start at the beginning, right after the Silver Millennium was created the universe was cleansed much like Earth will be in the future by Neo-Queen Serenity, or Serena, that is how the Negaverse was formed the people with refused to be purified were banished. That is also how Queen Mettallia was formed, Mettalia hated the idea of universal peace, to her it would mean more laws and power in the hands of the royals. She bonded with the Negaforce to stop the peace from coming, she was defeated and locked in another dimension, the Negaverse, for eternity by the Queen of the Moon Kingdom." Stopping only to catch her breathe and gazed off into the distance before going one. "There she became Queen Mettallia, who never aged and over the centuries the hate she held for the Moon Kingdom only grew. She had a son, Jaden, who was the only one to enter our world because his father a Pultarian noble man banished to the Negaverse, stole him from Mettalia and asked me to deliver them to safety. I did because it had to be done, no child deserved to live in that place."
"Jaden grew up in a noble house to be a kind and caring person with his father, he knew who his real mother was and never made contact with her ever. When his father died he married and he loved his wife more than anything. When his wife died of child birth along with his child Jaden was so hurt and sad he went to his mother for comfort. She had been watching him all his life and when he went to her she twisted his agony and pain to her own desire and turned his heart of love to a heart of hatred. He blamed the world for taking his family and wanted to destroy love and happiness. He spent much time on Pluto and would act like a conceited and arrogant man to everyone and loved no one." she paused and it looked as if Trista was about to cry, but quickly pushed aside her feeling and continued. "That was Mettalia way back into our world-her son, she began to form a plan to use her son to get back into this world. Until Zailia came into the picture that is."
"Zailia was a noble girl of the planet Pluto," Amara continued for Trista, "and was much like Serena in the sense that she had a heart big enough to love anyone. She found her way into Jaden's heart of ice and began melting it. Mettalia was furious that a little woman could ruin her plans and sent an assassin to get rid of her. Jaden and Zailia were married and were together in their garden when the attack happened, but he risked his life for her safety and was fatally wounded and Zailia was also wounded. Mettalia brought them both back to the Negaverse and to save her plans she bonded Jaden to the darkest energy known out side of the Negaforce, but still he kept his love for Zailia and saved her as well. Jaden and Zailia were immortal now and were filled with dark power enough to rival the Moon Queen. Jaden was becoming more to his mothers liking but held a spot in his heart for Zailia that held him from his full potential. Zailia was just as evil as her husband but hated Mettalia and fought her on everything because of a child that was growing inside her from when they were first brought there. That child, a prophesy said that that child would have so much power that it was enough to make even Mettalia fear it. With Zailia as the mother Mettalia knew the child would cause problems and therefore needed to kill them. Once the child was born Mettalia knew she had to act when it was a infant and too young to fight with power."
"WHAT!" cried Mina accompanied by gasps around the room.
"How could she do this to her own family!" cried Raye shocked a person could be so evil.
"Trista why have I not heard of this before?" asked Luna
"To be honest Amara, Michelle, Hotaru and I are the only one who knew other then the Queen herself. It was a delegate situation and the outcome was not happy." replied Trista with pain in her eyes.
"What happened." I asked as Darien places his arms around me sensing my sadness for the couple in the story.( How could a mother put her family through so much suffer...for power?)
"Queen Mettallia," Michelle continued, "planned to attack Zailia while she was putting Trinity to bed. Unknown to Queen Mettallia was that Kira, a slave, had been taking Trinity to the Moon Kingdom to the Moon Queen, your ancestor Serenity, for help. Queen Serenity felt pity for Trinity and agreed to help. But Queen Mettallia herself attacked Kira and Trinity while they were passing between the gates of time that Pluto guards, I brought Queen Serenity to the Gates to help Kira who held a shield around Trinity, Pluto, and herself protecting them from the assault of attacks by Mettalia. Queen Serenity used the Silver Crystal and lashed out at Queen Mettallia. Queen Mettallia was losing and in one last hope to end the life of Trinity she taped into the whole Negaforce and sent out an attack so powerful it broke threw the silver crystal's power. But Trinity's cry was strong enough for her mother to sense the danger her baby was in and tapped into her own power to save them. But not without a price, Zailia teleported to Kira and her baby in to time save them, unfortunately they were placed in eternal sleep. Mettalia was drained of most of her power and as a result could no longer leave the Negaverse. She told Jaden that the Moon Kingdom was responsible for Zailia and Trinity's death, as Mettalia put it, and he vowed vengeance on the Queen and all her children."
"But what happened to Trinity and Zailia?" asked Lita through her tear eyes.
"She and Trinity are- were located in Pluto's Castle in the Mists of Time ." Replied Michelle
"Michelle is right I kept watch over them at my home and the reason why we are telling you is because when Sailor Moon defeated Queen Mettallia and Queen Beryl Jaden escaped the destruction of the Negaverse with many others loyal to him."
"Like the Monster from the other day." said Mina," But why are they so powerful its attack was so strong after one hit I have trouble standing."
"I told you Queen Mettallia bonded Jaden to a force more powerful then even the Negaforce, right. Well that force was from a dimension of its own, the Nexis. The Nexis is a land equal to earths Hell if Crystal Tokyo is earths Heaven. Nexis has a portal and it is located were I am standing between Planets Uranus and Neptune." answered Amara
"Wait you said they 'were' there, where are they now?" asked Darien
"Jaden attacked the castle and took Zailia and Trinity back after he found out they were alive, well sort of."
"But no one enters the Mists without your consent how did he?" asked Lita
"He has found a way to create portals where and whenever he needs them." answered Trista
"But why are you telling us now?" asked Amy typing on her computer.
"Back when the Silver Millennium was alive Jaden was responsible for Beryl infiltrating Earths Kingdom in the first place, without him they could never have been about to take over Earth. He wanted to destroy the Moon Queen's children Queen Serenity and Princess Serena. Now he has found Serena here on Earth, in Tokyo and with Rini here it is all the more reason to hit us now with the mother and child in one place." answered Hotaru lifting Rini's head off her lap and onto the pillow as she stood up tall and much too serious for a 13 year old in my opinion, (but as Sailor Saturn she can't take her duty lightly). "We need to stop Jaden but because of Trinity's powers and the sleep; her body and mind have grown to the age of a child around Rini's age as well as power."
"But if my ancestor's couldn't help them why would I be able to?" looking at Trista for my answer meeting my gaze she replied
"You, Serena, are the child who brought down a time of peace that lasted for a millennium,"(she just has to bring that up?)" you are the girl who defeated the Queen of the Negaverse, you are the princess who saved the lives of your friends, and you are the woman who will save Earth from the Great Freeze. Serena you never accept defeat, you always listen to your heart and in my opinion the strongest holder of the Imperial Crystal ever known. If it is possible you can do it."
"But no pressure." mumbled Amara at the forcefulness of Trista's words.
"And how am I going to save them?"
"When the time comes you'll know what to do."(wow I have heard that a lot in movies but never to my face)
"That's all you can say! I mean you know the outcome you must be able to tell her more?" said Raye shocked at the vagueness of the Time Guardians words.
"Raye you know as well as I that Trista can only say so much about the future we're lucky to know about the reasons why Jaden is here. Or even that it's him before we meet him." replied Amy closing the hologram and trying to calm the fire priestess down.
"Amy is right Raye we can't help it" added Mina with Michelle and Lita nodding in agreement.
"Well I for one need to get some sleep," turning in Darien's arms to face him," Darien can you bring Rini into your room for me I think tonight I am the one who needs the comfort." I said just before picking up Diana and walking off to the bedroom calling over my shoulder, "Rini will want to have Diana close by so she will stay too, we will talk more about this in the morning I'll call you when we are up. Goodnight." Closing the door behind me. I know I sounded cool and harsh but I just didn't want to hear anymore, (plus my shoulder is really starting to hurt me...)a knocking sound pulled me from my thoughts. "Yes?"
Opening the door Hotaru slipped in and approached "May I see your shoulder I can heal the rest of it up so you can sleep better tonight." stepping to my right to look at it, "Darien and Amy did a good enough job stitching it up, your lucky you didn't die from loss of blood."
"Really I'm fine you should be heading home with Trista and the others..."
"Please Serena I have always had a connection to you, I feel your emotions and pain, maybe not as well as Darien but enough to know that shoulder is hurting a lot more than you let on." ignoring my protests she moved the collar of the shirt and began tracing her fingers over the wound a warmth came from her hand and filled my body, as it faded so did the wound.
"Thank you Hotaru, but I am extremely tired I think I am going to go to bed. goodnight." sitting down on the bed I crawl under the comforter and snuggle into the black sheets and inhale the smell of Darien.(god his smell is so good...always calms me down..)
Drifting off to sleep I vaguely remember Darien placing Rini next to me in the king size bed before lying down on the opposite side of her with Diana above our heads...
Later that night I heard movement coming from the other side of the bed waking me from my dreamless sleep. Turning over I am met by midnight blue eyes staring at me and Rini from the gray lounge chair at the foot of the bed with the moon and stars as his background.(he looks so worried)
"Darien? Darien what's wrong?"
"Nothing Sere, go back to sleep. I'm sorry I woke you." smiling at me, but he's lying- the smile doesn't reach his eyes.
Standing I walk over to him and sit down on his lap, "Don't say your sorry, if something is bothering you it is something worth talking about." placing my head on his shoulder I rap my arms around his neck, "So what's wrong darling?"
"I was just watching my future wife and daughter and thinking of how much I love you." lifting my chin he brushed his lips to mine and a fire sparked in my stomach, "and I was also thinking of how much I wanted to do that all day." smiling down at me.
I lift myself up to his face and cup his head in my hands, "And I have been waiting too long to do this." pulling his face to mine I kiss his soft lips and wrap my arms around his neck, running my hand through his hair. Deepening the kiss I feel his tongue brush my lower lip waiting for permission which I grant moments later. We play tongue tag for what seems like hours before we parted for air, pulling away Darien leaves butterfly kisses down my jaw to my neck stopping at the spot at the base of my neck, thinking(He always gets me there)as I let out a moan. My moaning caused him to groan and he press my body to him as close as possible, shifting my position so I am straddling his hips on the lounge chair he grabs onto my hips pushing me into him. Feeling a bulge push at my lower stomach (what the hell...OHHhh...He has one already?hehehe)smiling as he works his why up to my lips I start to push into the bulge making his shiver under me and I swallow his groans.
"That's not playing nice." pulling away from my lips enough to whisper, "You'll pay for that teasing" before crushing my lips with his and forcing his tongue into my mouth.(God this feels too good...)drawing me into the mists of passion it was suddenly stopped by a rustling of the sheets...(crap not now!) breaking the kiss much to Darien's protest I climb off him just in time for Rini to turn over to look at us with sleepy eyes and a sleep clouded mind.
"Serena can I have a glass of water, please?" asked Rini
"Sure honey I'll go get it."(next time I'll slip her a sleeping pill to knock her out...ya that I'll do it...)grumbling over to the kitchen.
Hearing the sound of the bathroom door shutting, I can hear the water of the shadow running (poor baby needs to go cool off..)Laughing at the pout on his face after I got up.(oh well time to sleep)yawning as I headed to the bedroom.
