Serena and Darien's Past, Destructive Invention Returns.
The Princess moved in her pretty white dress as all the witnesses were too stunned to make a move of some sort. She was hovering slightly in the air with a sad look on her face.
"Sailor Moon." Luna said.
"Tails what are you doing?" Sonic asked, he was kneeling.
"I'm being humble before royalty." He said, Sonic picked him up.
"Buddy." Sonic sighed. "I don't think now is the time for that." The crescent moon on her head began to glow."
"Princess, Serenity!" Luna gasped.
"What!?" Everyone gasped.
"Princess?" Lita gasped. "Then Sailor Moon was the princess we've been looking for?"
"Hard to believe that she was right under our nose the whole time!" Tails said.
"Yet none of you had the wit to sense it!" Eggman mocked. "I had more of an idea than any of you combined!"
"The true identity of Tuxedo Mask was Darien." Sailor Mercury said. "Sailor Mars was tearing up for the fact that her former boyfriend is not really for her."
"The princess has awakened." Zoisite said. "In that case, I'll just kill you and take the Silver Crystal!" He threw a black sphere at her, she didn't even move and the magic was dispelled. She raised the wand and the crystal began to shed a really bright light. "What!?" He was launched back and he was slammed against the wall.
"Now's our chance!" Eggman smiled, he used his reach claw to try to grab the crystal but the light disintegrated the minute it got too close. "Grr. Knuckles get me that Crystal!" He tried to spin dash to her and Sonic tried to stop him, but the light threw Knuckles against the wall just like Zoisite. He slid down the wall and hit the floor unconscious.
"Tuxedo Mask." Princess Serenity whimpered. She shed tears. "All this for me!' Tuxedo Mask opened his eyes and stared at the Princess.
"Serenity…" He said weakly. "I remember everything now. Serenity, My name is Endymion." Those words really spoke to her.
"Endymion!" Princess Serenity said. "Now I know, I am Serenity! The music locket! I gave it to you! Then something happened, our kingdom was burning and you rushed off to stop it. So, you're Endymion." Her dress began to glow and she reverted back into Sailor Moon, she fell on Tuxedo Mask's body.
Sailor Moon cried the other heroes and they rushed to her, Sailor Venus checked her wrist.
"She's all right." She smiled. "She just fainted."
"Thank goodness." Sailor Mercury sighed.
"Her memories of when she was the princess probably came back to her and overwhelmed her." Artemis explained.
Eggman took out a radio and pushed a button and spoke.
"I need assistance. I shall activate my homing signal and send out our repaired creation immediately." He said quietly.
"Darien, please wake up!" Sailor Mars pleaded, shaking his body.
"He's badly injured." Sailor Jupiter said, noticing the wound in the chest. Zoisite got on his knees and began to crawl over to them, everyone looked and noticed that he's crawling.
"This is nothing!" He groaned struggling to get up. "Eggman help me!"
"Sorry!" He said, as Scratch picked up Knuckles's body. "I can't really help you without something to fight with, even if I did you still owe me a Chaos Emerald."
Malachite appeared right in front of Zoisite and caught him before he fell to the ground.
"Malachite!" Zoisite stammered. "Sailor Moon is the Moon Princess."
"I see." He sighed, "So the princess awoke." He saw Sonic. "And the Rainbow Crystals were drawn to her." Everyone stood in a defensive position, Eggman and his badnicks moved aside and just watched.
"I will allow you to live for a while longer yet." Malachite said. He used his black magic but it moved past the wall of Sailors and Sonic and Tails they turned and saw that Tuxedo Mask was engulfed in a dark barrier and he vanished.
"Darien!" Sailor Mars cried.
Malachite still had Zoisite in his arms and he began to vanish in a tube of purple light.
"Oh no you don't you're not getting away from me that easily!" Eggman shouted. "After them!" His party chased after him and he went into the light and they all vanished.
"What did he mean by that?" Sailor Mars asked.
"I sense some rough edges between Eggman and Beryl." Sonic smiled.
"They took Tuxedo Mask away!" Tails said. "And he still has a Chaos Emerald!"
Back in the Dark Kingdom.
"You two allowed the Moon Princess to awaken and lost the Silver Crystal as well." Beryl said, in a most displeased voice. That was poorly executed, Malachite.
"My lady, I am very sorry." Malachite bowed. "However, the princess has just now awoken and has yet to fully master the use of the Silver Crystal. I would ask that you wait a while longer."
"HEY!" Eggman screamed. "don't ignore me! I'm still here!"
"You and I will talk soon enough." Beryl said to the scientist. "Right now I need to make some punishments!" Her two generals began to shake in fear.
"Oh boy they are in trouble!" Scratch mocked.
"All the while Malachite, I will leave it to you." Beryl said, she shot Zoisite with a cold look. "As for you Zoisite, I hope you are ready to face your fate!"
"No please wait!" Zoisite pleaded. "Please give me just one more chance!"
"You tried to kill Tuxedo Mask against my orders, did you not?" Beryl accused.
"Hey." Grounder called with sympathy. "I'd speak for you but I wasn't a witness."
"But I.." Zoisite sweated.
"Did you think you could fool me?" Beryl snarled.
"I will take responsibility for that!" Malachite said. "Beryl's crystal ball began to emit a bright dark light."
"Please wait!" Zoisite begged, but the light shot out at Zoisite and struck him down.
"MALACHITE!" Zoisite screamed as he fell to the ground.
"CLEAN UP THAT MESS!" Beryl ordered. Zoisite was now just smoldering on the floor but somehow he's still alive.
"Yes my lady." Malachite groaned.
"What a way to go." Grounder sighed.
"Fine!" Eggman said. "Now give me my Chaos Emerald NOW!"
"You dare to order me!?" Beryl snarled. "That crystal is mine and we shall rule this universe and even your robots will bow to me but I need the power of the emeralds to get the crystal!"
"Hmm." Eggman laughed. "You underestimated me! I think it's time I show you the might of the Eggman Empire!"
He pushed a button on his Ego Matic and it began to change and twist with more metallic whirring The Egomatic changed into a small one man battle vehicle with two huge legs and a missile cannon on the port side and laser blaster with a gun on the starboard side.
Grounder opened up his radio and began to play his theme music again.
"Say hello to my Egg Walker 2.0!" Eggman laughed.
(As Seen In Sonic Adventure 2)
"Foolish of you Doctor!" Beryl laughed. "You're greatly outnumbered!" All the monsters in the room ganged up and surrounded Eggman.
"You obviously haven't been listening to the music." Eggman snickered. "I have the master plan!"
"What are we going to do now?" Scratch putting Knuckles's body into the cockpit with Eggman.
"Force our way out." Eggman smiled. "We can't get the emerald back now, we must regroup at the base and make a new plan, stay close to me, our new invention will be here shortly."
Just then Eggman blasted through a row of monsters using his machine gun he broke through the crowd as they all stormed past Malachite who was shielding Zoisite's body.
"After him!" Beryl ordered. "I won't let any person make a fool out of me!" Malachite put Zoisite's body down and also pursued him. Eggman kept going down the halls blasting the nearby monsters with his homing laser. Every so often he would turn the turret around and begin to fire at the chasing monsters.
Malachite tried blasting the floor ahead of Eggman, but his machine had hovering capabilities so he managed to get away from the Malachite's blast.
Scratch and Grounder were clinging to the legs of the walker in hopes that they won't get caught by the monsters.
"SPEED UP!" Scratch screamed and Eggman turned the turret and blasted the monster reaching for his leg.
"That's right." Grounder laughed making faces at the monsters, "He is The Eggman! Like the song says!"
Eggman came to a two way intersection and he didn't stop to think where to go, so he went to the right, blasting another monster around the corner.
Unfortunately he made it to a balcony with no place to go in sight.
"I guess you made a wrong turn!" Grounder gulped.
"We're Doomed!" Scratch cried.
"Ok Eggman." Malachite said coming from the horde of monsters. "You will pay for all the minions you've killed with that pathetic stunt of yours! Your Chaos Emerald is ours, and now your robots will make a fine addition to our army!"
Eggman sweated but he heard a beep on his control panel then he snickered.
"You must have gone crazy with the impending doom!" Malachite frowned.
"If you were in my shoes you would laugh to!" Eggman said. "It's time you meet one of my ultimate weapons! Sonic trashed it once but I've been spending time mending his wounds and fixing his flaws. He will help me stomp out you, Sonic and the Sailor Warriors and I will finally rule the world!"
A figure flew down from the dark air and hid itself in the darkness and his eyes began to glow bright piercing red.
"What is this?" Malachite shouted in disbelief. The figure stepped out. "What!? Hedgehog!?" He screamed. "No, it's not!"
"Take them down!" Eggman ordered, it began to charge something and a large white beam shot out of it and blew away the Monsters and Malachite ducked and covered his head as the beam caused the hallway behind Malachite to cave in.
"W-w-what was that?" Malachite stammered as he picked his head up and Eggman, his invention, and his Badnicks were gone. "It looked just like him!"
Back with Beryl she was talking to Metalia.
"Please Great ruler." She prayed. "Queen Metalia please awaken." The dark blur in the giant heart like-tank has appeared.
"Endymion, I have so longed to see you." Metalia said, Beryl kneeled to Metalia as she presented Endymion's body to her. H"e was once the prince of the Earth."
"To think he had transmigrated into this world somehow." Beryl said.
"Use the power of darkness to restore Endymion immediately." Metalia instructed.
"Yes, my lady." Beryl said. "I have to report that the alliance between Eggman and us is broken."
"Good." Metalia said. "Use Tuxedo Mask to collect the seven Chaos Emeralds and destroy him!" Beryl nodded in agreement.
Malachite went back to Zoisite's body and laid him to rest on a bed in his chamber.
"I am sorry, Zoisite." Malachite sighed sadly. "I tried to ask Queen Beryl to revive you, but…" Zoisite still had some life left in him, he opened his eyes and Malachite raised his torso.
"I am happy." Zosite said weakly. "For I will die in your arms, but please grant me my last wish." As he used what strength he had left to move his hand to place it on Malachite's chest.
"What is it?" Malachite asked.
"I want to die beautifully." Zoisite responded. Malachite whirled his cape about and it created a beautiful illusion for Zoisite it looked like they were surrounded with flower blooming trees with petals raining down on them. "How beautiful. I'm so happy Malachite." He caught a falling petal. "I love you Malachite." He closed his eyes and Malachite could tell that life has left him. So he hugged Zoisite tightly.
"Forgive me, Zoisite." Malachites sniffed, he laid him to rest and left the room.
Back in the Starlight Tower Sailor Jupiter held Sailor Moon on her back.
"Is there really an exit around here?" Sailor Mars asked looking around.
"There is definitely a way out." Sailor Mercury said, scanning around the room then she began to type on her computer. "But it's troublesome."
"What do you mean?" Sailor Venus asked.
"This dimension is apparently an imaginary space that's been sealed off." Sailor Mercury explained. "In short, theoretically, the real dimension we were in, is not directly connected to the three-dimensional space here. Instead, they should be connected only in two-dimensional space with the positive and negative phase reversed and passing through zero-dimensional space."
"I would like to point out that I managed to understand that!" Tails said raising his hand.
"Funny." Sonic said. "I figured we were just trapped in some illusion, but we were still in the same place!"
"Anyway." Sailor Jupiter said, with a confused look. "Can you hurry up?" The cats just sighed.
"I guess we can only depend on Sailor Mercury now." Luna sighed.
"We're counting on you." Sailor Jupiter said with confidence. "We can't just hang around here forever."
"I know." Sailor Moon coughed as everyone noticed she was waking up.
"Sailor Moon." Sailor Mercury gasped as everyone rushed to her.
"It looks like you're awake!"Sailor Jupiter said happily. Sailor Moon looked around and caught a grip on her surroundings.
"Tuxedo Mask!" She called, Jupiter letting her down. "Where? Where? Where is he? Tell Me! He couldn't have…."
"He's alive!" Sailor Mars shouted.
"Really?" Sailor Moon asked.
"But he was taken by our enemy." Sailor Mars cried.
"By our enemy?" Sailor Moon said worried. "I see." She moved a concerned finger to her mouth.
"Everyone." Artemis said. "Please listen to me! Now that the princess has awakened, I think it's time to tell you everything. Luna when the princess awoke, you're memories awoke, too, right?"
"Yes." Luna said. "It's all clear now."
"Wait a minute! What are you talking about?" Sailor Mercury asked.
"About our previous lives." Sailor Venus said. "About the Moon Kingdom called, Silver Millennium."
"Cool!" Tails said. "You guys were alive once before?"
"Maybe we can find out what's causing this mess with the Floating Island." Sonic suggested.
"It started long ago." Artemis explained. "There was a kingdom on the moon, called the Silver Millennium."
"It was a very peaceful paradise." Luna explained.
"Around that time, the Earth was taken over by an evil spirit!" Artemis added. "It was a dismal place of evil at that time, its inhabitants fled to the Silver Millennium to seek refuge."
"It invaded the Silver Millennium in order to try and obtain the enormous power of the Silver Crystal." Luna explained.
"The kingdom was destroyed in the fierce war, but with the power of the Silver Crystal, they sealed away the evil spirit!" Artemis explained "The four warriors came and left for Earth and died. They were reborn into you four. You are those four warriors who fought back then."
"Sonic, this may not help." Luna explained. "But the last thing the queen did before she died was she appeared to have a spiritual vision and she began to plead and beg to help when the time was right."
"Hardly but thanks for trying!" Sonic said, scratching his head.
"This still doesn't mean why the Island floated all the way from our home to Earth!" Tails said. "It's still a mystery."
"Then we are people of the moon?" Sailor Moon asked.
"No." Sailor Venus said. "We're all genuine Earth humans. So your parents are really your parents."
"You see." Luna said. "The queen of the moon wanted the princess and the rest of you to live happily as normal girls, so she transmigrated you to this most peaceful era, along with all her other citizens."
"But even in this era." Artemis said. "Someone unraveled the seal on the evil spirit."
"So." Sailor Mercury said, still typing on her computer. "That evil spirit is the leader of the Dark Kingdom?"
"That's right. If none of this had happened." Luna said. "All of you would be living happily as normal girls."
"Don't say that yet!" Sonic said.
"What do you mean?" Sailor Venus asked.
"We still don't know why the Angel Island left for your world, and as far as we know, if we haven't come along you would all be cyber Sailors by now!" Sonic explained.
"You girls have much more problems than that." Tails said.
"Yeah." Sailor Jupiter said. "Eggman, Knuckles, and the Chaos Emeralds."
"But if we don't protect the Silver Crystal and defeat our enemy." Luna said. "We cannot have a peaceful world."
"Our duty is to fight for that cause!" Sailor Venus explained. "You understand, don't you? We have to work together and fight so we don't repeat the tragedy of the past again."
"I understand." Sailor Mars said.
"Don't worry, me and Tails will do our best to keep you from being egg headed yourselves!" Sonic smiled. "No offence Mercury"
"None taken." She replied.
"Yes let's fight together." Sailor Jupiter said.
"I don't want to." Sailor Moon sighed.
"Sailor Moon." Sailor Jupiter sighed, and she placed her hand on her shoulder.
"I just don't want to fight anymore." Sailor Moon cried.
"Are you serious?" Sailor Mars scoffed.
"Give her a break!" Tails argued.
"But I just don't want to!" Sailor Moon sobbed.
"It is unfair to ask such a thing from you." Sonic said in a comforting voice.
"You're the princess!" Sailor Venus shouted. "How could you say that?"
"Being told I'm the princess doesn't make me feel like one." She cried. "And it doesn't make me happy at all! I'm just Serena Tsukino."
"Serena." Luna sighed. "Don't you understand what your mission is?"
"I don't care about any mission anymore!" Sailor Moon screamed. "So what about my previous life? It has nothing to do with me! What's with all of you? I just don't want to fight anymore!" There was a silence. "If everyone… ends up like Darien, or becomes an electronic. I don't want to see that! It's too sad! I don't want this!"
Sailor Mars got an upset look on her face and she approached Sailor Moon and smacked her across the face. Everyone gasped at her actions.
"You're a coward.. A COWARD!" She shouted. "You're a coward!"
"Yes." Sailor Moon said defeated. "I'm a coward. I'm not strong like you are, Rei!" She began to rub the red mark that Sailor Mars left on her face. "Rei…"
"Darien did all that just to protect a coward like you.." Sailor Mars sneered. "Also Sonic saved us from becoming robots several times…" They both began to cry, but Mars cried in anger.
"Sailor Moon still needs more time." Artemis said.
"But…" Sailor Mars stammered.
"She'll go back to being the same old Serena in a while." Sailor Mercury said. "Until then, let's all watch over her."
"We'll scare off Eggman and send the Island back to our world and then we'll be on our way." Sonic said.
"Everything will go back to the way it was." Tails said.
"By the way." Sailor Mercury called. "Luna I found the exit!"
"Good!" Luna said. "Then I know we're still not done talking, but let's get out of here first!"
"Come on, let's go!" Sailor Venus said. They began to walk out but they were stopped by an unexpected visit by Malachite.
"I am surprised you found the exit." Malachite said. Sailor Moon cowered in the back while everyone stood in front of her.
"Luna, Artemis!" Sailor Venus warned. "Find someplace safe!"
"Okay!" Luna nodded.
"Be careful Venus!" Artemis said, and they both ran for it.
"Everyone, take care of the princess!" Sailor Venus ordered.
"I'm going to fight with you!" Jupiter said.
"Me to!" Sonic said as they both stepped forward.
"Thank you!" Sailor Venus said.
"You are wasting your time." Malachite said.
"Don't underestimate me!" Sailor Jupiter shouted, and she used her attack.
"Supreme Thunder!"
The lightning went to Malachite but it was just absorbed, and a field of black magic appeared and surrounded him.
"No way!" Sailor Jupiter screamed. "He's absorbing energy!" Malachite just shot her with a cold look then Venus tried.
"Crescent Beam!"
The black magic just dispelled the beam. Sonic and Tails tried spin dashing but the field just propelled them away.
"It's not working." Sailor Mercury explained. "In this dimension, he'll absorb all the energy and his magic is much more effective against physical attackers."
"Then what should we do?" Sailor Mars asked. Malachite charged up a yellow magic sphere and threw it at the sailors, they screamed and flew and hit the ground hard.
Sonic and Tails went in from behind and struck him in the back and they moved around and joined the sailors in the back.
"Grr." Malachite sneered. "Lucky shot hedgehog but it won't happen again!"
"That won't be enough…. To defeat us!" Sailor Venus said, struggling to get up.
"Then, DIE!" Malachite shouted, he charged up an even bigger yellow sphere and shot it at sailor Venus and Jupiter.
"Watch out!" Everyone else screamed. They were gripped by electricity and completely paralyzed. They were freed and they fell to the ground out cold.
Sonic and Tails attacked again but Malachite was ready and he threw magic red ropes and they tied down Sonic and Tails, they fell to the floor hopeless as electricity zapped them.
Sailor Mars examined the grim situation and spoke.
"Take care of the rest, Mercury!" She ordered. Then she turned her attention to Sailor Moon. "Serena, wake up. You will be fine, I know it! Are you ready?" She asked Malachite and she turned towards him.
"Fire Soul!"
The fire was just absorbed by the black magic field just as the other attacks.
"Fool!" Malachite scoffed. He just took the fire and charged it to double the power, he threw it and Sailor Mars tried to brace herself but it sent her flying and she was also out cold. Sonic struggled in his binds and reached for the Chaos Emerald. Sailor Mercury now is all that stood between him and Sailor Moon.
"Are you ready princess?" He laughed.
"I am your opponent!" Sailor Mercury challenged.
"Do not interfere!" Malachite snarled, and he threw black magic at her. "Tenacious fool!" He shot another one and they both went down but Mercury took most of the shot. So she was cold on the ground.
"Ami!" Sailor Moon cried. "Hang in there!"
"Serena, be brave!" Sailor Mercury said weakly. Then she was out cold. Those same words echoed in her head in the voices of the other sailors.
"DON'T…GIVE…UP!" Tails struggled to shout.
"Come on!" Thought Sonic still struggling to get the Chaos Emerald.
"Everyone!" Sailor Moon cheered, and she stepped forward. "Tuxedo Mask, please lend me your power."
"Sailor Moon, Fight!" Said the Voice of Tuxedo Mask. "The Silver Crystal… Raise the Silver Crystal!"
Yes! Sailor Moon said with more confidence, as she took out the Crescent Moon Wand and armed herself with the crystal.
"Do you mean to step into Hell voluntarily, Princess?" Malachite laughed. "Fine then." He raised his arms. "I will take revenge for Zoisite!" He charged up all magic he had and threw it at Sailor Moon, she raised the wand and used it as some sort of shield.
"Please, Silver Crystal!" Sailor Moon pleaded.
"Got it!" Sonic said, he grabbed the emerald from his pocket and used its power to refresh him and to free him from his binds.
Sonic charged to Sailor Moon's side they both smiled at each other and Sonic curled up and began to glow and spin around and moved in front of the wand.
"What?" Malachite cried as an area surrounding Sailor Moon was cleared of the black magic.
"AHHHHHHH!" She screamed fiercely. Sonic began to move at Malachite but he vanished before the attack made a connection with him, and when he vanished so did the tower and everyone was just standing on the ground outside.
Malachite returned to his home in the Dark Kingdom.
"That girl." He grumbled. "Has learned to use some of the crystal's power. That hedgehog, that robot! What is Eggman up to!?"
Meanwhile Beryl used her powers to revive Endymion.
"Please Endymion." Beryl said. "Can you still not forget about Serenity? Even though it will be forever unrequited, no matter how much you love Serenity. Oh and thanks for your little contribution!" She took out the chaos emerald Tuxedo Mask once had. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
That morning Sailor Moon watched the sunrise.
"Thank you, Tuxedo Mask." She said to the sun. "You saved us." She looked at everyone who was standing all ok.
"Thank you Sailor Moon!" Sailor Venus said.
"You'll fight with us, won't you?" Sailor Mars asked.
"Everyone!" Sailor Moon cried. "Yes!"
"Looks like we've cleared the first hurdle." Luna sighed.
"You did a good job Serena!" Artemis praised.
"Let's all keep working together and do our best!" Luna said. "As long as we do, we'll be able to overcome any hardship!"
"Yes." Sailor Moon thought. "And Tuxedo Mask is certainly alive somewhere, to."
"Hey!" Sailor Jupiter said. "Where's Sonic and Tails?"
"Over there!" Sailor Mercury said. She pointed to them walking away at the edge of the park.
"SONIC! TAILS!" Sailor Moon called. "THANKS FOR HELPING US! WE REALLY OWE YOU!" Sonic and Tails threw them a wink and a thumbs up and they turned around and ran off.
AN: For some who do not know While in this season in the English version they were referred to as Princess Serena and Prince Darien but in the 4th season they are no kidding referred to as Princess Serena and Prince Endymion, since they really are named this I figured they should stay that way.
