Serena folded her black sweater carefully and placed it into her half full suitcase. She glanced at her bedside table and sighed, a picture of Usagi and Mamoru stood there. They were smiling and laughing, deeply in love. Serena scowled at it and continued to pack.
She heard footsteps running up the stairs and the sound of her door opening; she turns round to find herself face to face with Minako.
"Usa- I mean Serena!! You have to come quick, the temples in danger and everyone is injured!!!" Minako grabbed her hand and went to pull her out the door when Serena snatched it back.
"No Minako. Im not Sailor Moon."
Water filled Minako's eyes
"Please Serena; they'll die if we don't help them! We need you! I know you hate us but please!! I know you don't want them to die, you don't want anyone to die!" Minako begged
Serena sighed "Fine" she mumbled
Minako quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her out the door and down the stairs
"Mama Im going out" Serena called before getting yanked out of the door.
As Minako pulled Serena along the street, she put her free hand into her subspace pocket and pulled out a dusty broach. It was round and pink with a simple gold star in the middle. She lifted it up in the air, took a deep breathe and shouted:
"MOON CRYSTAL POWER MAKE-UP!"
Minako felt Serena's hand leave her and a surge of power and familiarity shoot through her, she stopped and turned back to see Serena in the air, ribbons and feathers surrounding her. A pink aura engulfed her transforming her into the legendary Sailor Moon.
Minako beamed as the soldier was lowered to the ground gently.
Sailor Moon looked at her strangely "Aren't you going to transform?"
Minako gasped "Oh… Erm yea! Right…" She reached into her subspace pocket and pulled out her wand, holding it into the air
"VENUS STAR POWER MAKE-UP!" She yelled.
As Minako transformed, Sailor Moon watched intently, unknown to her a peaceful smile rested upon her lips. As soon as the transformation was over Venus grabbed her hand and started to run again.
They both ran up the temple steps as fast as they could, Venus slid open the door violently and ran inside, Moon right behind her.
"This doesn't look like a battle to me Venus…." Sailor Moon looked around at the peaceful living room, she suddenly heard a door slam shut behind her and she turned around to see Rei staring at her, smiling.
"Hello Usagi-Chan." She said simply
"What's going on?" Moon growled
"You're here because we want Usagi back, not Serena…" Rei replied
Two strong hands tightened around Serena's arms and threw her on a chair roughly; Sailor Moon looked up to see Makoto looking at her through sad glistening eyes. Moon gave her a death glare and turned to look at Minako
"You tricked me!!!" She spat
Rei started to tie her to the chair quickly. Sailor Moon started to fight against the bonds.
"Untie me!!!! I order you to untie me!!!" She cried
Rei knotted the rope securely and stepped back
"It's for your own good Usagi-Chan" Venus said, bowing her head
"Stop calling me that!" Sailor Moon growled "This is outrageous!! How dare you trick me to getting me here and then tie me to a chair!!!"
"Usagi, we want you back! We want the old Usagi back!"
"Tough! She's long gone! She died the day you all turned your backs on me" Sailor Moon spat
"I know she's there deep down inside of you Usagi, I can feel it" Minako said, looking into Serena's eyes.
"For the last time! SHES DEAD" She screamed, de-transforming back into Serena.
The door opened and Serena turned her head to see Mamoru, stumbling along the living room to them, Serena glared at him.
"Mamoru you should be in hospital!! You're not fully recovered yet!" Rei gasped, running to him.
"I…I…I had to…I had to come…" He wheezed "I needed to see…my…my Usako…I want her…I want her back…"
Serena's eyes softened and guilt flooded them; Minako watched as Serena swallowed hard and fought the emotion back.
Rei helped Mamoru to sit comfortably on a chair; he raised he head and looked straight into Serena's emotionless, cold eyes.
"Usako…" He whispered. She closed her eyes and turned away from him.
"Untie me" She growled, eyes closed and her head bowed
"Usagi we cant do that" Makoto said simply
"Untie me" She repeated
"Usag-"Rei started
Serena's head snapped up and fire burned through her eyes "UNTIE ME NOW DAMN IT!" She yelled, sick with rage and hurt.
Everybody gasped, taken back from the sudden outburst.
"Emerald come forth now!" Diamond growled
The green haired hyena appeared infront of the prince
"Yes my lord?" She bowed
"I sense the child's energy….If we capture her, drain her and kill her then our plan will be strong enough to overcome and win."
Emeralds eyes widened
"Where is she? I'll take care of it straight away??"
"Usa, we're so sorry! We truly are, but what's done is done. We wish we can turn back the clock but we can't" Minako cried
Serena sighed deeply
"You were wrong Usako…" A hoarse voice whispered weakly
Serena turned to face Mamoru and glared
"You didn't hide your injuries….I saw the blood… that's why I came after you, but you were already hurt and killed inside…You don't remember do you! How I begged you to stay, how I ran after you and told you how much I loved you how I tried to explain how it looked to us and how we were feeling but you didn't give me the chance to explain…to say sorry… you turned your back on me and left me…" A couple of tears ran down Mamoru's cheeks
Serena's eyes widened in memory
------------------------------ Flash back ------------------------------------------------
"Usako you're bleeding!!!" Tuxedo Kamen cried running after her
Sailor Moon turned around, tears of pain and hurt streamed down her pale skin "Yea so?"
"What happened!!?"
"What would you care, you just told me you didn't love me anymore! That I put our daughter in danger!! HOW THE HELL CAN YOU THINK THAT!" She wiped her tears away and de-transformed, nearly falling over with the heavily bleeding wound in her side.
She covered it with her hand so that Mamoru wouldn't see how bad it was.
"Usako please!" Mamoru shouted as she ran away
He ran after her "Tell me what happened!! Let me explain from my point of view!!"
She turned around sharply to face him and glared at him "Im not telling you anything, why should I!! And I don't want to listen to you anymore"
"Usako I love you!" Mamoru cried
"Don't! Just don't!" Usagi's voice was breaking as the unshed tears built up, threatening to spill over her barrier.
"Usagi let me explain…" Mamoru begged holding out a hand to grab her arm gently, she dodged it and backed away slowly
"You don't need to…" with that she ran off.
----------------------------------- End of Flash Back ----------------------------------------
Tears spilled down Serena's face and she bowed her head. Her shoulder length hair turned into Odango's for a second then back to the plain normal hair style.
The Senshi watched, eyes wide as dinner plates, hope shinning in there eyes.
Serena heard the door open and two sets of footsteps, one was walking calmly and the other was running towards them.
"DADDY!" A little voice cried, running quickly. Serena's head snapped up and she stared at a little girl with pink hair in Odango's. The little girl was weeping helplessly in Mamoru's arms; his muscular arms were wrapped gently yet firmly around her, comforting her.
"Chibi-Usa!" Serena gasped, more tears running down her face, the girl turned around, facing Serena, and confusion covered her facial features like a thick blanket.
"Who are you?" She asked, frowning and wiping her eyes gently.
Serena gasped, her eyes widening. "D…Don't you recognize me?"
Chibi-Usa shook her head, tightening her hold on Mamoru.
"You're a youma…." Chibi-Usa said, noticing the tight rope, binding her to the chair
Serena's eyes filled with more tears.
"No Chibi-Usa, she's not a youma…" Ami said. Serena's attention turned to the blue haired Senshi, realizing she must have come in with her daughter.
"Who are you then?" Chibi-Usa asked, Serena turned to face Chibi-Usa and stared straight into her eyes.
Chibi-Usa's grip loosened on Mamoru and she gasped "M…Mummy!?!?!" She cried
Serena simply stared at the little girl, salty rivers of pain pouring down her white skin. An old school uniform replaced her almost sluty clothes and long blonde Odango's replaced her short hair.
"Yes sweetie its mummy…." Minako said, smiling, tears of joy and relief streaming down her face.
Usagi turned back into Serena and she shook her head, all the Senshi gasped, as did Mamoru and Chibi-Usa
"No." She whispered
"Yes…" Rei stated, determined to get her back
"No." She said again, stronger this time.
"Well then you look her in the face and tell her she's not your daughter" A new female voice cried.
Serena turned to see two cats walking casually towards her.
"Luna…Artemis…" Serena muttered
"Go on, do it… look her dead in the eye and tell her you're not her mother…" Artemis said
Serena turned to the little girl that was trying so hard not to cry.
"I…Im…Not…" Serena started, a sudden loud crash cut her off and a huge Youma made of rock crashed through the roof. Planks and huge blocks of wood fell around the senshi, one hit Makoto's head and the cats, knocking them unconscious, none of the Senshi noticed and they all got into fighting stance, reaching for there wands.
"VENUS STAR POWER"
"MARS STAR POWER"
"MERCURY STAR POWER"
"MAKE-UP!" They all said together
Bright colours filled the room and the Youma grabbed Chibi-Usa out of Mamoru's grasp
"MUMMY! DADDY!" She screamed as the youma ran for the door of the temple
"CHIBI-USA!" Serena and Mamoru cried in unison
Serena struggled to get free and Mamoru pulled out a rose to transform. Instantly he became Tuxedo Kamen.
The three transformed senshi fired there attacks at the youma
"BURNING MANDALA"
"VENUS LOVE ME CHAIN"
"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION"
The attacks combined as one and knocked Chibi-Usa out of the youma's arms. Tuxedo Kamen ran and picked her up gently, doing a back flip over the Senshi. They stood infront of them protectively in fighting stance ready to attack again.
Serena still struggled against the bondage, her wrists becoming red raw.
"You shall never beat me without Sailor Moon, the prince is weak and I believe your two senshi down"
The three senshi looked at one another
"Jupiter!" They cried
"She's over there!! With Luna and Artemis, they're unconscious but still breathing" Mercury pointed out
Serena got one hand free and struggled to get the other one free, occasionally hissing in pain as the now bleeding wrist rubbed against the rough rope.
The senshi gasped as the youma threw a huge rock towards them; Tuxedo Kamen threw a rose at it, shattering it into millions of little rocks. The Senshi threw there arms up infront of there faces and Tuxedo Kamen shielded Chibi-Usa with his cape.
"I CALL UPON THE POWER OF MARS FIRE BALLS CHARGE" Mars screamed, sending a scroll at the youma, it hit his face and it cried out in pain.
A hideous loud hyena laugh filled the air and everyone flinched
"Emerald" Tux growled, looking around. The green haired woman appeared infront of Tuxedo Kamen and Chibi-Usa, directly above the Senshi, they all gasped and fired there attacks. With a flick of an arm Emerald deflected them easily; the Senshi dodged there attacks and glared at the woman.
"Little Moon Princess, I suggest you come with me unless you want all your friends killed… and your precious dad tortured…" Emerald laughed, holding out her long boney hand.
Chibi-Usa glared at her, but took a step forward. Tux quickly tightened his hold on her.
"No Chibi-Usa!! You're not going with her!!" He said
"Daddy I have to, im not letting my daddy and my friends die because of me" She replied, looking straight at him.
Tuxedo Kamen stared straight back at her, he sighed deeply "You're just like your mother" He said, Chibi-Usa smiled "I can't let you Chibi-Usa."
Chibi-Usa looked up at him and smiled "You have to…" She said. "LUNA P KITTY MAGIC" She cried, the familiar purple cat like sphere appeared just above Tux and turned into a rope, it feel over him and tightened
"NO CHIBI-USA!" He cried, the Senshi ran forward, however rope also fell and tightened around them, preventing them from moving. Emerald grinned, stretching out her hand.
"NO CHIBI-USA, DON'T DO THIS!" The senshi and Mamoru cried
The pink haired girl out stretched her hand towards Emerald and was about take her cold boney hand when a warm body threw herself in the way.
Everyone gasped to see Serena standing between Chibi-Usa and Emerald with her arm's outstretched.
"You can't have her" Serena growled
Emeralds laughter filled the living room and everyone flinched
"Who are you exactly?" Emerald laughed
"Im her mother" Serena muttered, instantly Serena turned into Usagi, With long Odango's and her old school uniform that was to small for her, her eyes flooded with warmth and determination
She reached into her subspace pocket and held her brooch into the air
"MOON CRYSTAL POWER MAKE-UP" A pink calm light filled the atmosphere and Emerald and the youma was hurtled back into a wall. Emerald feel to the ground with a thud and the Youma burst into moon dust.
The Senshi, Tuxedo Kamen and Chibi-Usa beamed as the transformation completed.
Sailor Moon stood, stronger than ever in her mythical pose, ready for battle.
"Bring it on Emerald." She spat. Emerald struggled to get up and glared at the princess
"I'll get you next time Princess and your little girl too" She teleported away without another word
Sailor Moon heard quiet sobs, she turned around to see the pink haired girl on her bottom, hugging her knees tightly and sobbing gently.
Sailor Moon bent down, picked her up and wrapped her arms around her, embracing her tightly but gently.
"Shhh, its ok honey. Mummy's here now" Sailor Moon whispered, rubbing her back soothingly. Stronger sobs emerged from the small child and tears rolled down Sailor Moon's cheeks. Her transformation faded slowly and Usagi took the place of the strong warrior.
The Senshi and Mamoru watched with tears in their eyes. The rope around them slowly faded and Mamoru weakly crawled over and wrapped in arms around the two most important people in his life.
Makoto and the cats slowly opened their eyes, groaning and crawling out from underneath the pile of wood, holding their heads tenderly.
The other Senshi looked at them and smiled, pointing to the family crying in each others arms. Luna, Artemis and Makoto smiled warmly.
Usagi and Sailor Moon were back. Serena is long gone. They won the battle but can they win the war that is ahead of them? That's what they want to know.
