Last Chapter:
"You will come around in time princess of that I am sure, even now the dark energy is slowly eating away at your power and strength. Soon you will awaken my daughter and then you will be mine, you and that crystal..."
"Yes Lita its me, and I need you to wake up..." (They must have given her a sleeping pill for her injuries...)
"Yeah Pyro its me now get up we need to leave before its to late."
"What took you so long." Was all she whispered before kissing my cheek and leaving to get ready (she knew I'd come and she didnt doubt that I was real...Thats my Minna...)
"We will charge the castle from all four sides. Thats should cause enough chaos to allow Serena and the others to get out." Answered Pluto
Flicking his wrist to activate my chocker I pulled all my new found power into destroying the contraption before any pain assulted my body...Feeding power into the chocker it seemed to overload and a slight burning happend as the black chocker desintergrated.."Moon...Crystal...POWER!"
And ten feet away lay on the ground Serena...
Chapter 12:
>Serena's View>
...Darkness...loneliness...cold...(I'm so alone...)
"Ahh...but your not alone my dear..." Came a voice echoing through the darkness
"Who's there?..." I wondered looking around for the source of the voice
"My name is Zailia, I'm Trinity's mother." She said as her body came into veiw, it was an exact copy of Trinity or rather what she will look like, surrounded by a glowing warmth
"But your dead, aren't you?" Smiling at me a comforting feeling washed over me as she continued to speak
"A mother never truly dies when her child still needs her. My Trinity needs a mother and I protected her as much as possible but I can only do so much." Her smile wavering only a fracture before continueing, "And I recieved word from your mother that I might be of some help."
"Oh no need, we defeated Jaden already. We all are safe, and Trinity is safe now." I replied to the older woman
"But you are far from safe child" Her face losing the smile she held as she became serious about the truth...
Author's View (From now on)
"SERENA!" The group ran to her still form and prayed they were seeing things and that she was really Okay.
"What happened!" Yelled Amara as she watched Darien pull her lifeless body onto his lap
"S-SHe's d-dead!" Cried Amy after checking the girls heart beat
"No she cant be! Trista this cant be possible we know about Crystal Tokyo and the Neo-Queen Serenity! How can she die!" Screamed Ray as tears flow unstopped down her face.
"I dont know..."replied Trista as a tear falls down her cheek...
"What are you talking about!"Serena asked as panic crept into her voice
"Right now you are on the verge of death and that means your twins right now are in danger. However that is just the least of your problems, Jaden is not dead as you said because he is bound to Chaos and Chaos can never be destroyed, banished for the time yes, but never gone." Replied Zailia stepping to stand next to Serena and pointed out infront of them, "Look..."
A window through the darkness seemed to appear and there was Serena on Darien's lap as the girls were all standing around her...
"I'm dead.."
"Not yet, but you will if I do not return you to them." Zailia replied before waving her hand again and the window was gone. Serena stood there frozen waiting for Zailia to save her. Zailia stepped forward and stared Serena in the eyes before speaking, "Before I send you back listen to my warning: soon the time will come for you to rewrite history and provent the age long Freeze that will engulf this planet..." Pausing a moment to think of how to word her next thought, "...when that time comes trust what your heart says to do to save the people you love and the crystal will hear your plea..." And with that she faded from the darkness and Serena was once again alone Zailia's last words...
"Take care of my Trinity...I have faith in you..."As the voice faded the darkness swallowed Serena completely...
Serena began to wake in layers; hearing her friends desperate crys, feeling the warmth from Darien holding her, and smelling the morning dew that started forming on the grass around the park they were in...
"She can't be gone...we need her..." Mummbled Minna as she unconsciencely clung to Nathan as her body was over run by her sobs. And Nathan felt the need to comfort Minna as if his life was nothing without her.
"What are going to do...how can we explain this to her family..." Asked Lita desperately to no one inperticular acting the same way as to Tylor as Minna did to Nathan.
"This is wrong its not suppose to end this way...she was ment to live..." Cried Amara looking down at the girl she same to see as a baby sister.
Darien did nothing listened to nothing and felt nothing. His world was taken from him and now he was nothing...the warmth he saw return to Serena's skin...his imagination...the feeling of her heart beating...wishfull thinking...that is untill...
'Beep...Beep...Beep...'
"OH MY GOD!" shouted Amy," Its not possible...How...What..."
"What is it?" Asked Michelle
"Serena, she has a...heart beat." Everyone stared at the girl in question waiting for confirmation that she was okay...
Serena this whole time was getting the feeling back in her body and with that came...the pain...the crystal had drained a lot of energy from her and the battle left her muscles crying in pain and each and every one was screaming for attention. She couldn't hold back the moan of pain that escaped her mouth or the curse that escaped her mouth as even more pain shot through her chest...(broken rib...or ribs..)...
"...Shit..." mummbled Serena as she forced her eyes open to meet...Darien
"Serena!" Yelled everyone as they rushed over to her looking at her with excitment but refusing to touch her and cause more pain.
"Did you guys miss me." replied Serena trying to lighten the mood quite unsuccessfully
"What the HELL did you think you were going back there! YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN YOURSELF KILLED AND THE TWINS?" Screamed Raye as tears run down her face kneeling on the ground at her side
"Raye nows not the time to yell at her she needs medical care immediately." Said Minna softly while placing a hand on her friends arm as her own tears fell off her cheeks and onto the ground.
"Minna's right Serena needs to get to a hospital and-" Started Lita before she was cut off.
"No. No hospital just take me home" stated Serena
"Honey your family isnt back yet-" replied Michelle smiling down at her future queen although in her eyes Serena is already the Queen
"I mean Darien's place, there Amy and Darien can care for me I cant go to a doctor you said it yourself Amy my blood is changing the hospital wont know what to do."
"She has a point." Commented Hotaru standing next to Trista behind Darien and the others
"Alright but we need my mother too." Stated Amy as she typed away on her computer cataloging all of Serena's injuries.
Everyone started heading over to Darien's apartment, Darien carrying Serena as gently as possible an Lita carrying a sleeping Trinity in her arms.
"Hey guys I be there in a second I'm going to go get Luna Artemis and Rini I'm sure they are worried about us alright." spoke Raye heading in another direction as the rest of the group.
"I'm coming too, your not going alone." Commented Jared feeling that he needed to make sure she was safe. Raye nodded an okay and the two headed for Andrews house.
"Darien are you okay? You havent said a word to me, are you mad at me?" asked Serena in a hush voice so as for the group NOT to hear
"I'm not mad Sere I can never be mad at you. Its just I was so scared when I thought I lost you and the boys I'm just so happy that I have you all back. I dont know what I would do without you, I love you so much the thought of losing you is inconceivable." said Darien in an equally hush voice
"Dare, you could never lose me." replied Serena, closing her eyes as he carefully placed a kiss on her forehead...
"Alright carefully place her on the bed...watch her legs...look out for night-table.."
"Would it kill you to help instead of direct." asked Tylor, directing the question toward Minna standing out of the way in the corner as he helped Darien place the sleeping Serena on the bed in Darien's apartment.
"Oh but you guys are doing a wonderful job why mess it up." She sweetly replied as Lita giggled at Tylor's face as it turned even redder as his anger rose.
"All of you keep it down" Amara hissed, following Michelle into the room with bandages and antiseptic", wake her up and I WILL kill you."
"All right, all right, sheeshhh bite off our heads why dont ya" Mummbled Minna as Lita, Tylor and herself walked out of the room.
"...we need to clean her cuts and check for any broken bones, as well as deal with her ribs, I believe she has two possibly three broken or fractured but I need X-rays to be sure." Stated Dr. Anderson to her daughter as the two walked into the bedroom.
"We know two are broken and one fractured, my computer scanned her body and alone with the ribs her left ankle is fractured as well." Said Amy setting her computer on the dresser and moved to the bed to check Serena's pulse once more.
"And the twins are fine?" Asked Darien for the tenth time since they got there.
"Yes they are perfectly fine the crystal must have protected them through out the whole ordeal." assured Dr. Anderson as she began removing Serena's shirt to assess the damage. Looking at the girls sides they were already purple and blueish-black colored around the bruised skin.
"Darien, my mother and I can handle this, you look like a train hit you. Why not go and freshen up a bit and comfort Rini when she gets here wondering why her Mommy and Daddy didnt come and get her." Said Amy without looking up from what she was doing.
"Yeah, I guess your right," answered Darien as he closed the door behind him...
"Its been an hour and they haven't come out of the room and neither Jared or Raye have come back with Rinni. How long does it take to pick up a kid and two smart cats!" Asked Lita as she paced the length of the room
"They will be here soon Lita relax the worst is over." Advised Trista sitting on the recliner in the living room after placing Trinity in one the spare room in a sleeping bag.
"Momma!" Came a cry from the front door as it shut and the racing of little feet was heard throught out the apartment as a pink blurr flew past the room to the closed bedroom down, only to be intercepted by the owner of the home.
"Daddy!" screamed Rini throwing her arms around Darien and planting wet kisses on his face. The entire room of people looked on with a warm smile on their faces at the display of love.
"Hey Rini, how was staying with Andrew?" Asked Darien as he satr down on the free chair with her still in his arms.
"We had lots of fun with Diana, and Luna and Artemis too! We played games and I got to help at the arcade! Andrew said I was his best helper!" She replied contently, completely switching gears she turned to Darien "Can I see Mommy now?"
"We have to wait for Amy and her mom to say its okay first then you can see her alright." Answered Minna
"By the way, we might have a little problem, possibly two." Added Jared as he and Raye came into the room with the cats...
"What do you mean by "problems"?" Asked Darien shifting to make Rini more comfortable on his lap.
"He means that Rini went home with Andrew and ran into Serena's family," Answered Raye," They came back early cause they felt bad for leaving the girls alone."
"What happened?" Asked Michelle worry evident on her face.
"That the girls went on a short trip to the beach and Rini wanted to stay behind because of a play-date she had with a class mate and Drew volunteered to watch her." Replied Luna curling up on a pillow with Artemis and Diana.
"I guess we need to talk to them soon right." Stated rather than asked Artemis before yawning and closing his eyes for a nap.As if knowing the looks the cats were getting Raye spoke up.
"We filled them in on what happened on the way here." Understanding flashed threw everyone faces before there was a creek and footsteps as Amy and her mom stepped into the room
"She'll be a little sore for a day or two but she is gonna be just fine." Stated Amy's mom be fore excusing herself and heading home.
"Okay but whats the second problem?" Asked Nathan who had been silent for most of the night
"I think showing will have a better effect then telling," Said Jared and with that he lifted Raye's hair as she pulled the collar of her shirt down. And just in the middle os between her left breast and left shoulder there lay a cresent moon that resembled the birth mark on Serena's forehead. Gasps filled the room as everyone stared in shock at the brand on Raye.
"Wha-? When-?" Started Lita as she began to recover from the shock
"We all have them." Stated Raye as she replaced her collar and Jared let go of her hair. Everyone in the room looked at there chest to see it for them self
"We dont." Amended Jared but still proceeded to remove long sleeve shirt. On his chest, on the top of his right breast was a mark of the earth. The men in the room all stared before lifting there shirts to see the identical mark on them as well.
"Why?" Asked Amara in confusion
"I can explain," Came a soft voice from behind everyone as they all turned to address the new person in the room
"Serena, shouldn't you be in bed?" Asked Minna taking a step closer to her princess.
"I'm fine the crystal has helped alot in returning my energy and strength." She replied, "Now as to why you have the marks on you is simple, the Scouts each pledged a long time ago to protect me and as such you also agreed to protect me as queen when it was time. Therefore you recieved the mark of the person you swore to protect in this case me."
"But what about us?" Asked Tylor
"The same applies to you," Answered Serena," when the Silver Millennium was destroyed the guardians of earth's prince were destroyed. Their replacements are you, and when you were to be reborn Jaden stole you and blocked your minds of your duty to your prince, now king. So, you four bare the mark of your charge."
"I see, so from what your saying these markings are our badges so to speak of our place as the personal guards." Replied Landen, "So when we swear to the other, in my case you Serena, we will also bare the mark of the moon, correct." He finished with a look of deep thought mirroring the look on Amy's face too.
"Yes, thats right." Answered Serena, although her voice quaked slightly as her mind and body grew tired. Darien noticed this but didnt call her on it knowing fully that she wont refuse instead he chose the less noticable choice.
"The guest rooms are open to you guys, Rini is going to sleep with Serena and I. Feel free to stay, I for one am heading to bed." Stated Darien lifting the half asleep Rini and heading to his room.
"I'll come with you she looks like she missed me." Added Serena quickly follow Darien and Rini, leaving the others to work things out.
"Well talk about overloading the mind" Said Lita shaking her head
"Tell me about it?" agreed Tylor
"Well its late and today has been very...eventfull. I think its best to turn in for the night." Stated the ever silent Hotaru
"Yes I agree, girls will share the guest room there are plenty of sleeping bags for everyone. Boys make yourselves comfortable in the living room." And with that Trista walked into the bedroom and was shortly followed by the girls after a all around goodnight everyone headed off to bed, with a lot of thinks on their minds...
