Chapter 6

As chaos was running through the Senshi Serena was walking up a hill following Katriana. "Where are we going?" She asked as they reached the top of the hill.

"Someplace where even Mercury's computer won't be able to find you. This is something that you have to face on your own if you are ever going to truly become Neo-Queen Serenity." Katriana looked around briefly before raising her hands and flicking her wrists to open a portal. She saw the look of shock on Serena's face and smiled. "Don't worry; this is just a little something from the Moon Kingdom days. You'll learn about such things soon enough. Come on."

Serena nodded and followed Katriana through the portal. As she stepped out of the portal she looked around in awe. She was standing in front of a large mansion.

"Welcome to the Moon Academy." Katriana laughed happily. "Actually this really isn't an academy, just the place where a good friend lives. Hopefully she is home and we can begin some intense training to prepare you for facing the scouts with authority."

Katriana opened the door and motioned for Serena to follow her in. Once inside Serena saw paintings and art work hanging on the walls that reminded her of her life on the Moon Kingdom.

"Katri, you're back!" A woman at the top of the stairs smiled as she came down to greet the two.

"Hello, Setsuna." Katri smiled and greeted her warmly. "Serena, this is Setsuna. She also goes by Sailor Pluto. She is the keeper of the Time Gates."

"Welcome, Moon Princess. It is good to see you again." Setsuna smiled warmly at the teen. "Let me show you to your room and around this place. Katri, the others are waiting for your report in the library."

"I'll leave you two to get caught up then and go talk with the others." Katri turned and headed towards a set of doors on the left side of the hall way. She opened them up to see two other good friends from the days of the Silver Millennium.

"About time you showed up!" A woman with short blond hair stated as she stood up.

"Sorry, ladies, she took a little bit of time to convince." Katri smiled at the two and sat down across from the two women. "They just fought with you two against chaos and now there are more problems than before. Those Senshi don't believe in her one little bit."

"You have to be joking. Michiru, please tell me she is joking." The bond hair woman asked the woman sitting next to her.

"She isn't Haruka. They have lost all faith in her once more." Michiru responded as she looked at Katri. "I am guessing there is more than just that to this situation?"

Katri nodded solemnly. "Darien broke up with her last night stating that he didn't believe in destiny any more. Something has happened to cause all of this and I would like to know what that is. She has changed so much in such a short amount of time."

"How much has she changed since the battle with Chaos?" Michiru asked quietly in concern for her princess.

"She started passing her classes and showing maturity as the leader of the Senshi." Katri looked at the two intently. "We have a lot of work ahead of us over the next few months. I was able to block Mercury's computer from tracking her down until the time is right for her to be back in their lives. She needs this time to totally focus on her and prepare for ascending the throne."

"Well then we better get started. Where is she?" Haruka asked as she stood up once more.

"I'm right here." Serena walked into the room smiling as she recognized two old friends. "I am so glad to see you two." She hugged the two outer scouts in greeting. "So what happens now?"

"Its time to begin your lessons, we have to push you beyond your limits to help you become the Queen you are destined to be." Katri stood up and looked at the teen. "Are you ready?"
