The Power Within
The story is set after the fourth series and the sailor stars don't exist.
New characters will be introduced, but if your not familiar with the basic characters then you might get lost. In my story Serena has an identical twin sister named Siera o.k. Please make a review on my story so I know what you think of it, thanks! Anyway on with the story….
The young princess made her way towards the throne room, the long silk-black dress she wore, revealing a lot of skin on her back, arms and chest, sweeping over the stone ground as she walked. Her long golden blonde hair fell loosely down her back, her fringe partially covering the black crescent moon symbol found in the middle of her forehead.
Her soft footsteps came to a halt outside two huge black, stone double doors. With a graceful wave of her hand, the doors opened and she entered the dark room.
Sitting on a huge stone throne encrusted with dark gems was King Daemon. The man looked to be in his late 40's, with jet black hair that had a single grey streak through it. The mans eyes were crimson red and his body was well built, but hidden behind the black and red robes he wore.
Kneeling before the king was his arrogant son Prince Marcel. Marcel had the same body build as his father, dark blue hair and enchanting purple eyes.
"Ah, Siera you're finally here." Exclaimed King Daemon.
Princess Siera bowed low before the king as she calmly replied.
"I am sorry for the delay my lord, I had urgent matters to take care of."
"See to it that it doesn't happen again, I am not a patient man."
"Of course my lord."
"I was just informing Marcel that we are almost ready to launch our attack on Earth."
At this Siera stood upright followed by Marcel.
"My father needs us to go to Earth and collect some human energy." Said Marcel.
"I mean no disrespect my lord, but surely Marcel is able to complete this task without my assistance. Why do you wish for me to accompany him there?" Siera asked the King.
"The moon brat and her annoying Sailor scouts will be there. You know better then anyone the power they poses, it will be easier to destroy them if you both do it together. Am I making myself clear?"
"Yes my Lord" Replied Siera and Marcel in unison.
"Siera on earth you will cross paths with Serena, I want you to get the silver imperial crystal from her and bring it to me. Do not fail me Siera, and remember where your loyalties lie. Don't fall for their tricks, they betrayed you and left you to die on Morphea. I found you and took you in as my own, remember that!" King Daemon warned in a threatening way.
"I won't forget what you have done for me my Lord, I serve you and you alone. My sister will pay for what she did to me!"
"Good, now go both of you, Earth waits your arrival!"
Serena stretched out lazily on her sand covered towel. The warm sun streamed over her whole body, luring her into a peaceful sleep.
"SERENA WAKE UP!" Shouted a little girl with candy pink hair styled the same as Serena's.
Serena shot up instantly, a scream escaping her mouth. Upon seeing the cause of her disturbance, she turned angrily on the little girl.
"Rini you little monster! Why did you wake me up? I was resting!"
"You sleep way too much meatball head. We are going to play a game of beach volleyball and Mina told me to come and ask if you wanted to play a swell."
"Why would I want to go play a stupid game when I can stay here and relax?"
"Oh come on Serena, it will be fun!" Encouraged Darien standing beside Rini.
"Uh-uh!" replied Serena, crossing her arms in defiance.
"I always get hit in the face with the ball! I refuse to be humiliated today Darien."
"That won't happen Serena, you can be on my team and I will protect you from the ball."
"I don't need to be protected from the ball because I'm not playing."
"Don't bother with her anymore Darien, Raye was right, she is acting like a spoiled brat." Added Rini.
"WHAT! How dare Raye say that about me!" Yelled Serena.
Storming over to where Amy, Lita, Raye and Mina were setting up the volleyball net, Serena furiously faced her friend.
"Why did you tell Rini that I am a spoiled brat, huh Raye?"
"I was just telling her the truth. It's not my fault that you act childish all the time." Raye replied casually.
"You're one to talk! I see how jealous you get of me and Darien."
Serena's outburst turned into a very loud and annoying argument between her and Raye.
After many attempts from the girls, finally Darien was able to quench the argument. Between all the arguing between the two girls, the group failed to notice Luna run towards them.
"Quickly, someone is being attacked in the car parking lot. We need scout power!" Explained an exhausted Luna.
"Darien stay here with Rini, we can handle this." Serena said.
In unison Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita and Mina began to transform into their sailor scout forms.
"Do you actually think energy from this one person will even come close to the amount we need?" Siera asked in disapproval as she watched the ugly Negaverse demon Marcel summoned, slowly drain the energy of a weak human boy.
"Of course I don't. This is just to lure the sailor twits here, I want to test their strength for myself."
"We should just destroy them and get on with our mission. I have already placed the dark power gems in place throughout the city. They will gather vast amounts of energy swiftly, and send the power directly to the Negaverse."
A twisted, evil grin crept across Marcel's face. "Good, our task will be completed very soon, now our focus needs only to be on the moon princess and her sailor worriers."
"You are foolish to underestimate their power! That was Queen Baryl's downfall, don't let your fate be the same as hers!" Said Siera.
Marcel was about to reply when a new voice spoke first.
"V Crescent beam smash!"
A golden beam of light struck the Negaverse monster, causing it to release the child.
The five sailor scouts made themselves visible to their enemy.
"How dare you come here and ruin a beautiful day at the beach. You will pay for this intrusion! I am sailor moon, champion of justice! In the name of the moon I will right wrongs and triumph over evil and that means you!"
"Petty words moon princess, too bad they mean nothing to me!" Replied Marcel, proud that his trap had worked.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Sailor Jupiter demanded rather then asked.
"We are your worst nightmare. As for what we want," Siera began walking over to Serena, "The imperial silver crystal will do for a start."
Siera made a grab for the crystal that was securely placed inside Serena's locket, but was stopped short of her mark by Serena's own hand.
Siera struggled to free herself from the tight grip Serena had around her wrist. A seeping purple mist encircled the two girls, and in the blink of an eye, they had both disappeared from sight.
"Hey! What happened to Sailor moon?" A confused Amy asked.
"Your friend took her somewhere, give her back to us Nega-scum!" Mina accused Marcel angrily.
"If I were you losers, I would be more worried about your own safety than the moon brats!"
As Marcel said this, he held out his right hand and summoned 3 small dark energy orbs. The orbs quickly began to grow bigger and once they had reached their full size, Marcel sent the orbs flying directly at the unsuspecting sailor scouts.
Serena released Siera in order to get a better look at their surroundings. She couldn't see very much through the strange pink mist that clouded her vision. Serena had a very strong feeling that she had been here before.
"Where are we traitor? And why did you bring me here?" Siera asked Serena angrily.
"I didn't do this! I thought that you did."
"Siera opened her mouth to reply but refrained from speaking as she noticed two figures walking towards them.
"I was the one who summoned you both here."
The mist cleared and they could now see that it was sailor Pluto who had spoken. Beside the keeper of time stood a person who neither of the two princesses thought they would see again.
Wearing a beautiful long white dress, with her long silver hair styled the same as Serena's, was the Queen of the moon, Serenity.
Serena gasped in disbelief at seeing her true mother standing before her. She wanted desperately to talk to the Queen but found that her voice wouldn't work.
"What trickery is this? You can't really be here!" Said Siera.
"This is no trick. I traveled here into the future and asked Sailor Pluto to bring you both here. Sailor Moon you have come a very long way since the last time we spoke, and I am so proud of you darling." Began Queen Serenity. "And Siera, you have no idea how much I've missed you! We thought you were dead, and I had started to accept it after all the searches for you turned up empty all those years ago. And now here you stand before me, alive! I can sense the power of the Negaverse within you, what have they done to you?"
Siera's expressionless face suddenly twisted with anger. And as she spoke black flames covered her hands.
"The Negaverse saved my life! Don't pretend to care about me now when you didn't in the past, I remember how it was during the silver millennium. I remember how you treated Serena as your favorite and just ignored me!"
"That's not true Siera. The Negaverse has poisoned your mind."
"Save it mother! Nothing you say will make me turn on King Daemon. The Negaverse is my family now! I bet your precious Serena forgot to tell you how she ordered her troops to attack me at Morphea. I was ambushed by her own soldiers."
Siera sent a black ball of fire at Serena who just barely managed to avoid it.
Serena was terribly confused as to what Queen Serenity and Siera were talking about, she was wandering if she had heard right when Siera called Serenity 'Mother'.
A warm glow radiated from the silver crystal she wore in the locket on her chest. Distorted visions and memories filled her mind, and after a few seconds Serena remembered things fro the past that had been erased from her mind. She now recalled who Siera was and what had happened to her……..well sort of.
"I remember now! Siera I didn't betray you, why do you think that I did? I would never hurt my own twin sister!"
The sailor scouts were having a hard tie trying to avoid the dark energy orbs, while also trying to destroy the creature from the Negaverse.
Finally Jupiter and Mars had gotten close enough to destroy the beast.
"Jupiter thunder dragon crash!" Shouted Lita whilst summoning a huge gathering of electrical energy that resembled a dragon.
"Mars fire-bird charge!" Raye conjured her own flaming bird to assist Jupiter's thunder dragon.
The Negaverse monster was defenseless against the 2 powerful attacks, it was destroyed instantly.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Amy's attack successfully hit its target, and covered one of the orbs with ice, destroying it.
The two remaining orbs were soon destroyed as well.
"Enough!" Marcel bellowed and sent the four sailor scouts flying with an energy force.
"This ends now!"
Marcel raised his hands at the scouts and began to channel his dark energy into a black sword of death.
Out of nowhere, a single red rose soared through the air, and struck Marcel in the shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain and anger.
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
Tuxedo mask stepped out of the shadows to face Marcel. Behind him Rini was transformed into sailor mini-moon, and was helping the sailor scouts slowly get to their feet.
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" Darien said taking a step closer to Marcel as he pulled out a long black rod from his pocket.
"You will do for now" Exclaimed Marcel striking at Darien with his black sword.
Meanwhile….
"King Daemon warned me not to fall for your lies. Drop the innocent act Serena because it won't work on me, I'm smarter then that." Siera tried to stay confident but she was faltering. The hurt look her sisters face made her stat to question if Serena really was lying.
As if sensing her apprehension, Serena addressed the issue within Siera's mind.
"This King Daemon person has been lying to you! Deep down inside you Siera, you know I would never betray my own sister."
"We can help you sweetie, but you have to let us heal you from all the negative energy that you have been infected with. " Pleaded Queen Serenity.
Just as Siera was about to give in to Serenity's offer, black energy rings surrounded her. Siera was unable to move, she could see Sailor moon and Sailor Pluto trying to get to her, but the Negaverse was holding them back. Siera could hear King Daemon speak to her from inside her own mind.
It is a trick my dear, you must not believe their lies. They are trying to corrupt you princess, you must return to me at once.
As the black rings faded, so did Siera.
"What happened to her?" Serena asked.
"King Daemon got to her no doubt. Pluto can you try summoning her again?" Said Serenity.
"It's no good my Queen, she is in the Negaverse where my power cannot penetrate."
"Mother what is going on? The Negaverse became no more when I destroyed Queen Baryl. How can they be here now? And who is this King Daemon? What is he doing with my sister and how come I only just now remember her?" Serena asked.
"I will explain everything soon. First we need to go and collect all of the sailor scouts."
Darien and Marcel were still fighting each other when Serenity, Pluto and Serena arrived.
Marcel noticed the newcomers first and teleported back to the Negaverse after saying one last thing.
"This isn't over, mark my words you will pay!"
And he was gone.
The group had many questions they wanted answers to, but were forced to wait for their explanations until Sailor Neptune, Uranus and Saturn had joined them.
Sailor Pluto left to go and get her fellow scouts while the rest of the group went to Raye's temple to wait for them.
Siera appeared before King Daemon.
"My lord why did you call me back? I had everything under control!"
"I was preventing you from making a mistake. You got caught up in their lies and strayed from your task." King Daemon replied.
"I was buying time so I could get closer to Serena and take the silver crystal." Siera herself didn't believe what she had just said. The truth was that she actually wanted to talk to her mother and sister, she hadn't seen them for long. The whole time Siera was there, it never once crossed her mind to steal the crystal.
"Either way we must now make alterations to our plan. With Queen Serenity here, it will be harder to take Earth."
