Recap of last chapter:

"Damn You!" Tuxedo Mask said as he pulled out a steal tipped rose.

'Wait,' Tuxedo Mask thought, 'He has Sailor Moon... I can't attack him if she's there... dammit!'

"Oh dear," Diamond said in a sadistic way reading his mind, "You wouldn't want to harm your precious Sailor Moon, would you now..."

And with that, Diamond released the nega-energy from the knife, at Serena's throat.

Chapter 3 Why do I Cut? Part 2

"AAAAAAAH!!!!" Serena screamed out in immense pain, she was blinded by a brilliant light, and slipped into unconsciousness,-her transformation fading.

"No!" the scouts screamed feeling horribly for not being able to protect their leader, but most of importantly, their friend.

"That's it you bastard. No one hurts MY Serena!" Darien roared as he ran toward Diamond with his cane, extending in hand. It would have hit him dead on, missing Serena entirely, but unfortunately Diamond had already disappeared carrying the limp Serena in his arms.

"Dammit!" Darien said as he retracted his cane and put it in his sub-space pocket.

"We have to find her...," Darien said in deep thought.

"No shit Sherlock!" the scouts yelled in unison.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(With Diamond and Wiseman)

"Did you do as I requested?" Wiseman said irritably.

"Yes, I took her here, to the Dark Kingdom's palace," Diamond said.

"Well, make sure she doesn't escape. There's NO room for failure on our mission," Wiseman said menacingly.

"There was one thing that I was curious of, though. A very bright light engulfed her as her transformation faded, and I sensed a great power emanating from her." Diamond said

"I'm sure, Diamond, that it is nothing of importance. She's only a little sailor brat."

"Yeah, but still-"

"Dont question me Diamond!" Wiseman interrupted, "I'll have none of this insolence!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Normal P.O.V.)

."Oh... my head," Serena moaned, "ugh- it feels like all my energy's been zapped right out of me..."

Serena opened her eyes, "Where am I?!" she asked and tried to sit up in the bed she was in, but got light-headed and just fell back onto it.

"...wait- a bed?!"

'Oh no! I do NOT like where this is going... Please Darien, rescue me...' Serena thought.

"Okay girl, come on, you can't keep relying on the Scouts and Tuxedo Mask to save you forever," Serena said to herself.

'Now let's see, how do I get out of here first of all? What would Sailor Mercury do? -ugh I wish Amy was here right now. Well, I should probably look at my surroundings... it couldn't hurt, especially if I'm going to escape from this godforsaken place. Hm... There's a vanity, a couple chairs, the stupid bed I'm on, of course there aren't any windows- just my luck, a wedding dress, a closet... Wait a sec!- WEDDING DRESS?! Okay that is SO wrong! Moving on now... oh, there's a closet! Maybe I could hide in there and when he opens the door right near that, I could get out and... run? Grr, that's such a stupid plan. Well, it's better than anything else I can come up with. Now to get up from this stupid bed.' Serena thought inwardly.

Serena attempted to sit up, but once again fell back from the wave of dizziness from lack of energy she now had.

'Maybe if I try to transform again into Sailor Moon, it'll restore some of my energy. Well, couldn't hurt-.'

She reached for where her locket would be located on her school uniforms, but had two big issues.

'Of course there are two problems with trying to transform into Sailor Moon again. The first one is that my brooch is not where it should be, on the bow to my school uniform. Secondly, I'M NOT WEARING MY SCHOOL UNIFORM! OH MY GOD! WHAT IS THIS I'M WEARING, AND WHO PUT IT ON ME?!!!!!!!!' Serena screamed inwardly looking down at her very thin, almost see-through, maroon colored, very short, nightgown.

'Alright, I don't care how dizzy I get, I'm getting out of here right now! Oh...I moaned again sitting up very slowly from the bed I was on. Soon, I was on my feet, unsteady and grabbed the bed post, trying to regain some composure. Okay, now let's just get in the closet and wait for him to come through that door, so I can smash the closet door into him.'

Serena slowly walked over to the closet and opened it. She felt the presence of an evil energy coming and figured it was Diamond so she hurridly closed the closet door.

An eery voice called, "Serena... I know you're in there, my sweet."

'Oh my god! How did he get in here and how did I not hear him come through the door. I mean for god's sakes, it's the only fricken' door in this place that leads outta here! Oh no! My nightgown... I shut the bottom of it into the door by accident when I was closing it! Oh, I am SOOOOO screwed!' Serena thought.

"Sweet Serena, I don't need doors to come into here... I can just do this!" Diamond yelled and apparated into the closet Serena was in.

"AH!!!!!!!" Serena screamed. Struggling against him to open the door, she bit on his hand and turned the knob fleeing from the closet that Diamond was in.

"OW! You little Sailor Twit! You'll pay for this!!!!!" Diamond said and apparated once again right behind Serena making her way toward the exit. He quickly and sneakily gave a yank on Serena's long hair which was trailing out behind her as she ran and pulled Serena over to the bed. Pulling down his pants zipper, he said, "You're mine Serena!" Luckily the zipper got stuck and Serena had a brief and opportune time to escape; kicking Diamond in the family jewels, she ran away and out through her bedroom door.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Serena's P.O.V.)

'Clueless to my whereabouts I ran blindly through darkened hallways, only a few times tripping along the way. Why didn't he just apparate like he did before? Is he running after me? Well, I should still keep running. I have to get out of here or I'm totally screwed!'

After opening several randomn doors on what seemed like the lowest level of the building, I found the exit, or one that led outside anyways. I ran at full speed out there afraid that this would all be a delusion and some kind of spell that Diamond put on me. Walls encased the perimeter of what looked like my means of escaping. Of course nothing was that simple. It wasn't like the walls were in my jumping distance, even if I was transformed I still couldn't jump them. They were well over twenty-five or maybe even thirty feet and the barbed wire on top only accentuated the feeling of helplessness there was to my situation. I looked around once again and discovered some sort of entrance to a maze.

'Maybe it's my way out! Well, I have to try,' I thought to myself.

I speeded toward the entrance of the maze. After a little ways I ran into a dead end, and it seemed like all hope was lost. I mean come on this WAS a maze, and I'm like the worst problem solver on the planet! Well, I'll just have to keep trying...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------( A little while ago...Darien's P.O.V.)

I was on my own, well with the exception of Rini of course. Rini had to come with me to tell me where to find Serena. After all, Rini is Serena's daughter, and they shared a common bond, one which I had not developed yet. I mean, how could I expect to share a link with Serena, when just a few weeks ago I refused to see her. Well, the dream told me not to, or else she would die. I love her too much than for my selfish wishes to result in her peril. I couldn't live with myself if anyone had even HARMED her because of me. Of course, I still went to help in battles, but that was different. I could always mask my true feelings for her with a sense of duty to mine and her alter egos. Even now, I still can't believe how much she trusted me to let me back into her life when she found out that I did it for her own good. I probably never would have even forgived myself, nevermind.

"Okay well, let's get this straight," Darien summed up," the scouts had to be left behind because an unexpected youma had come into the picture whom was really strong, but they can handle it if they all work together, Rini is with me- poor kid having to live through all of this- and I'm trying to find Serena by having Rini follow their common bond."

"Darien," Rini said, "I feel Serena's presense near us. She's close. She's just over that wall, I can tell."

"Okay Rini, hold on," I said as I looked up at the thirty foot wall. 'This going to take some major skill!' I thought before grabbing Rini and my cane and using it as a pole or anchor to vault over the wall, my cape only getting slightly getting torn by the annoying little bit of barbed wire at the top of it. I glided down to the ground softly trying to make sure Rini was safe all the while.

'I looked around and briefly caught a glance of a two blonde streams of hair vanishing into some kind of garden of really tall bushes. No wait- it's a maze! "Serena, no! Wait!' I yelled toward her, but she had already vanished into the maze. I set Rini down and told her to keep up and sprinted to the entrance of the maze. Oh no, this can't be good... stupid fog. Why does there have to be fog when Serena's gone, and I'm here. Jeez, of ALL the luck! Oh well,' I thought before running with Rini into the distance through randomn ways that she told me Serena had been.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Normal P.O.V.)

Serena finally went through the entirety of the maze, and ended up with a wall with a door infront of her.

"ERG! Why can't ANYTHING go my way?!!! Am I that terrible that everything bad has to happen to me?! Stupid bad day..." Serena said staring down the door with the malice from before heard in her voice, but of course it didn't budge.

'Okay, why am I staring down a door? It's not like it's going to just open-'

CCCrrrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaaaakkkk The door opened.

"Okay, now that's not creepy at all," Serena nervously- very nervously- laughed.

'God, I feel like those stupid girls in horror movies who are always taking wrong turns and falling down when the killer's behind them, and stuff... Well, I guess I'll have to go in, it's not like I can just turn around and go back the way I came... that'd be pointless and I would probably end up getting myself lost for like the bizilianth time today! Grr... Well, okay let's see what's behind door number 1...' Serena said angrily and marched huffing her way into the room.

"Eek! It's pitch black in here!" Serena squeaked afraid of the dark- or what lied in the dark anyways...

Suddenly a bunch of torches lit up inside to illuminate the room.

It was a dungeon room that had rats and many, many spiderwebs and cobwebs in every nook and cranny.

Suddenly, she could now see a figure standing in the light. He had dark ebony hair, and a black turtleneck, and kaki pants with a brown belt on.

'Oh my god it's Darien, but- without the ugly green jacket.' Serena thought and smiled inwardly.

"Darien!!! Serena said tears of joy running down her cheeks. She embraced him in a big hug.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Normal P.O.V.)

Darien got through the maze following Rini's every direction as to where Serena was. Exhausted from running, and carrying Rini,- it made the whole thing go faster, there's only so fast that her tiny legs could go-. He got to the wall with a door and opened it quickly, getting more aggravated by the minute at everything going on. Nothing could have prepared him for the sight inside the room lit by various torches and candles. Serena, in her nightgown, was embracing a handsome man tenderly and was going to kiss him when, - wait! That man is me! WHAT THE HELL?!!!

"SERENA!" Darien yelled confused as hell as to the situation at hand.

"Darien?" Serena yelled more confused if possible, than he had been, and pulled away from the man that almost kissed her.

"Darien, and Darien? and Rini?"

(A/N: I was going to end this chappie right here...

but since I got soooo many reviews,

and it took me forever to update...

... here's the rest of it. )

"Umm... can someone PLEASE tell me what the hell's going on?" Serena sweatdropped.

"Wait, it's Rini!" Serena said enthused, "Look, Darien Serena nodded her head toward the one she previously had almost kissed has come to save me... but HE must be the imposter," Serena yelled with a raised intonation nodding toward the real Darien.

"No, Serena," Rini started, "THAT is the imposter- Darien is the one who's transformed into Tuxedo Mask! Duh."

"Well, just to make sure," Serena winked at Rini, "let's asked him a question that I know only the real Darien would know the answer... Darien both Dariens turn heads toward her at the same time Serena sweatdropped ... now on to the question... What is the name that you always call me, which always bugs me?

Imposter Darien: My sweet

Real Darien: takes a second to think... Meatballhead!

"Darien! It's you!" Serena exclaimed running toward the real Darien with Rini by her side.

But before Serena could get over to Darien, Diamond apparated infront of her and tried to take her away, but this time he entranced her with his big eye at the top of his forehead that could be used to put anyone he wanted under a trance-like state that supposedly no one could get out of on their own.

Serena got entranced and when the real Darien ran toward Diamond, he put up a forcefield around himself and Serena.

'no... I ... will... not... go.. with you-' Serena struggled under his hypnotic stare and resisted almost accomplishing her goal of getting out of his grasp and trance. "I... love... Darien... not you! DARIEN!!!" Serena yelled as a bright light arose from her chest, the same bright light that had appeared before at the advent of her capture in the Crystal Palace. This light made an appearance once again and consumed everyone . 'This is...' Serena thought weakly, ' the silver crystal? but how?' And with that, she blacked out, and so did everyone else around her, with the exception of Diamond who was destroyed by the Silver Crystal mercilessly.
