While he was traveling, Serena was having problems of her own and they weren't getting any better! She had just finished with having another argument with Darien and was walking home with Luna in her arms…..

Chapter #3: Enemy Identified and Seiya's Arrival

"Oh Luna… what am I going to do about Darien's temper? He has been really mean to me lately. I don't want him to be mad or upset with me. It really hurts my feelings when he does that!" Serena said as a small tear rolled down her face. Luna looked up at her and said, "Oh Serena, maybe the stress of school and life is just getting to him. Give is sometime and everything will work out! I just know it will! We went to the future remember? You and Darien are destined to be together and rule over the earth and the Universe!" Luna then curled up into a warm fur ball to help to comfort Serena. "Aww thank you Luna, you are always there for me!"

Serena said as she kept walking home. As they reached the downtown area, she passed a poster outside of the arcade that said a 3 Lights concert was happening soon, which was out dated. She walked into the arcade and looked around and saw her old friend Andrew who was the arcade attendant. "Hey Andrew!" She said with a smile on her face, "I haven't seen you around in awhile how are you?" He looked up and walked over to her then smiled, "Hey Serena! Yeah I haven't seen you in here in awhile! I am surprised because normally you are the first one to play the new Sailor V video games that we get! Is everything alright Serena?" Andrew asked with a puzzled look on his face then rubs Luna who was half sleep in Serena's arms. Serena then looked down and said, "Well a lot has been going on in my life. I have new responsibilities, and Darien has been acting weird, and school has been stressful." Then she sighed and added, "But I came in here to see when you were going to take that 3 Lights poster down, because they have split up and disappeared." But Serena knows what the truth is while the fans know that they just split up. Andrew then looked at her and said, "Well I would take it down, but it seems like there is a guest coming to the area and I wanted him to know that we still love the 3 Lights." He said with a smile. Serena then looked up with a shocked look on her face and said, "I wonder who is coming?" Then she looked down and Luna and smiled softly. "Well I heard that Seiya Kou was coming to visit the school and some of his friends, but the others aren't coming. I guess they couldn't make it! Oh well… I am hoping he comes to the arcade to make a special appearance." Andrew said then walked over to the counter. Serena followed with a dazed look in her eyes, "I can't believe he is coming back! I have to let the other girls know!" She said and ran out of the arcade. "Thanks for telling me Andrew and I promise I will be back here soon!" She ran outside and ducked in the ally beside the arcade and called the girls about her discovery. "Hey Ami, Mina, Lita, and Rei! I have some big news for you guys! Seiya is coming to visit! Andrew just told me but the Yaten and Taiki aren't coming. I guess that have to protect Princess Kakyuu. I don't know when he is supposed to get here, but I can't wait!" Serena informed the girls. Ami replied, "Serena, you know the communicators are for official Sailor business! How many times do we have to tell you?" She said in a stern voice. But Mina, Lita, and Rei felt differently, they turned back into the 3 Light fanatics that they were before the 3 Lights left! Serena smiled then signed off, then started walking towards her home with a smile on her face. "I can't wait Luna! Seiya is coming to visit the school!" She added with a small giggle. Luna stretched and said, "I don't see what the big fuss is about! Yaten isn't coming; he's the best member of the group!" Then she rolled over and fell back asleep. Serena turned a corner then stopped walking suddenly. "Luna…. Do you feel that? It's… the same aura that I felt before when Darien was over at my house. It seems familiar… and similar to my own!" Serena said and she shrugged. "Well we have time to figure out what it is, so let's go home." She told Luna who was sleep in her arms. Serena then smiled and started walking again.

All of a sudden a dark cloud formed in front of her and she stopped and looked at it. "Luna… time to wake up! We have a problem!" Serena said as she shook Luna and woke her up. "Myah… what's going on?" Luna said as the hairs on her back began to stand up. The dark cloud then started to disappear and a girl that looked just like Serena was standing there except her had red eyes, and black hair what was still styled with 2 meatballs on the sides. The girl looked at Serena, "Moon Princess… I have come to kill you. I am the rightful ruler of the Earth and the moon! Mom never should have sent me away and by her doing that, she forced you to forget all about your dark half, me." She said her eyes turned darker. Serena then stepped back and was scared, "I don't know what you are talking about! Queen Serenity never told me about you, and if I had known I wouldn't have let her do anything like that!" Luna looked at the girl and jumped out of Serena's arms and walked to her. "Usagi, is that really you? You have changed over the years and I see that you learned how to harness that dark power for evil." Luna said as her crescent moon started to glow. "Yes I remember now. You were forced out of Serena's body when she was born and kept in confinement until Queen Serenity could find something to do with you. But you kept on escaping and trying to kill the Princess so Serenity sent you out into the universe to wander around until you were good, or at least was able to control yourself. So what happened while you wondered around space?" Luna said. "Well Luna, yes I did miss you to start off with! You were my only friend while I was on the Moon Kingdom before I was kicked out and replaced by her!" Usagi glares at Serena the looks down at Luna, "The Universe is a cold place, but I was able to improve and make myself stronger by fighting the same people that Sailor Moon fought and pushed out into the universe. I fought them all from Queen Beryl, to Queen Nehelenia, to The Dark Moon family who also gave me special powers, and of course the dark part of Galaxia that you banished. Every person that you destroyed I absorbed and became stronger!" Usagi stated then looked at Serena who had a terrified expression on her face. "I don't understand how you could do that… I mean… you are a princess of the moon and we are twins?" Serena said. Then Usagi walked to her, "Princess Serena I am issuing an official challenge to you for the right to be the Queen of the Earth and the Princess of the Moon! This will be a death match and you can only use what you can carry! No one else is permitted to fight in your place! Do you accept it?" Usagi said with a serious look on her face. Serena then looked down at Luna, and then Luna said, "Serena, you have no choice but to fight her, because it is an official challenge, and if you don't accept she wins automatically!" Luna said with a sad expression on her face. Serena then looked at Luna then at Usagi and said, "Fine, I accept your challenge. When and where is it going to happen?" Usagi smiled evilly and replied, "Good choice Princess! It will happen a week from today, on the ruins of the Moon Kingdom. You may bring anyone you want, they just better not interfere or else that is an automatic loss for you!" Usagi then nods and stepped back. "Do as much training as you think you will need! Luna, you know the rules and make sure she abides by them!" She said to Serena and Luna. Then the dark clouds that she appeared out of formed around her and she disappeared. Serena then stood there in that alley in shock and looked at Luna. "So you knew about her and didn't tell me?" Luna looked down and replied, "No… my memory of her was wiped clean when she left, but we were such good friends that when I saw her I remembered her." Serena picked Luna up the walked home.

Serena walked home and announced to everyone, "I am home and really out of it so leave me alone, just let me know when dinner is ready please mom!" Then she walked through the living room and waved at everyone. "Oh wait dear, you have a special guest upstairs." Her mother said with a smile on her face. Serena sighed and said, "Just what I need, more surprises! Ok I will go see who it is!" She then walked up the steps and opened her room door and sitting at her small table was Seiya who just landed on the earth and rushed to see Serena. "Hey Odango! I missed you!" He said with a giant smile on his face. She then ran and hugged him tight, "I thought that Andrew was joking when he said that you were coming back to visit! Who did you come to check on?" She said as she let go and sat down. "I came to see you Serena." Seiya said with a bright smile on his face. Serena then blushed slightly and smiled, "I am sure that I am not the only reason you came all the way to the earth." He nodded and said, "You are right, I came to give this to you from Princess Kakyuu!" He then reached in his bag and handed her the silver looking broach. "She said this will give you the power you need to transform in your final level. I also had to talk to you, about something important!" He said as his face turned red. "Ok, talk to me about….." The phone rang cutting her off and she ran to answer it. "Hello… this is Serena!" Then a few moments of silence. "Hey Darien!" More silent moments. "No I am alright… really… I am home now and about to get some rest… and yes I forgive you! But I have to tell you about something that happened on my way home!" Darien cut her off and started arguing with her then she hung the phone up and cried softly then wiped her tears before sitting back at the table. "I am sorry you had to see that, Darien and I haven't been as close as we were in the past, but I am not sure… if there is a future us….." Serena said as Seiya gasped with shock and wrapped his arms around her.

While Seiya was holding Serena, a message appeared on Serena's communicator, from Rei that said, "We are meeting at the temple tonight, everyone needs to be there, urgent business!" Then Seiya looked at Serena, is it alright is I go with you? Serena nodded and smiled softly, "Sure it is!" Lets go…….
