Chapter 16: Daring Abduction
Serena hurried around her room, grabbing her purse, tying her hair into the two overlarge pigtails that she loved, and ran outside to meet Nicholas. They were going for a walk down to the lake, and Serena was excited to see him again, but as she ran down to meet him, she felt slightly guilty. She had been secretly dating Darien for a month, and no one knew, so she was afraid what would happen if anyone did learn of that bit of info. But for the moment, she was seeing her husband to be, and he was standing at the foot of the stairs, wearing a foot soldier uniform, which was black and red with green stripes.
"God, has she gotten...big." Nicholas thought as he watched her run down the stairs, remembering the last time he saw her, she was barely taller then the railing. Now, she was using the railing to help guide her down the stairs as she ran. He was shocked to see her looking so mature and...well…just plain attractive. "I am a lucky s.o.b." he thought with a smile.
"So, you have been pretty busy with the war, huh?" Serena asked as they walked around the lake, popping the little candies that Nicholas had brought her. "Yeah, we have been fighting a lot of different enemies since King Soul resurrected the ancient Yoma clans. Now those little fucers are hard to kill." Serena laughed and Nicholas blushed, realizing that he had just said some very un-prince-like words. "So, any new scars?" she asked. "No, I try not to get hit by those little buggers." Serena laughed, the she looked at him, smiling. "Aren't those little buggers about eight feet tall and about 300 pounds.?" Nicholas never answered. He collapsed to the ground, and as he got back to his feet, Serena vanished. "Well, isn't this a cute site." Nick looked up and saw King Soul hovering eight feet above him, with Serena trapped in one of his little bubble prisons. "Here is a little challenge for you and your brother. Come to my new home, the Black Moon, and rescue your princess. Only you, no one else." With these words he and Serena vanished. "Ah, shit." he said as he got to his feet.
Darien finished writing a quick letter and setting it on Serena's mirror, hoping that someone would find it. He then ran out of the room and rejoined Nicholas at the portal, who was trying to break the spell that prevented them from traveling to the Black Moon. "Any luck?" Darien asked as he locked the door behind him and slid the key back under the door. "Hell yeah." Nick said as he stood up and the portal opened. In the swirling energy, they saw an image of a pitch black planet covered in fire and dark energy. "Jesus, that is where he lives? That explains his attitude." Nicholas said as he and Darien walked into the portal.
Amy looked around for her diary, wanting to write about her latest dream about her and Koaru (no details suckers). Then she remembered, she had left it in Serena's room. She walked to the portal and went to the Moon. "Hello?" she asked as she walked around the palace grounds, trying to see if anyone was around. She made her way up to Serena's room, and found her book on the dresser. As she turned to leave, she noticed a note on the mirror. She read out of curiosity, and after she finished, her diary fell to the floor.
"So, this is what evil looks like?" Nicholas and Darien both looked at the scene before them. Barren waste lands as far as they could see, and at the end of it all, there was the castle. "Lets go."
"I don't have time for this, Mina!" Amy yelled at her blonde friend as she tried to explain about this new potion she had found. Mina looked at her blue haired friend, feeling irritated. "Ok, what is so important?" Amy explained, then the two split up, Amy to Mars and Mina to Jupiter.
