Chapter 11, Part 1
Since the time all of the warriors had gathered together, they had decided to continue to meet at Urania's apartment for a few hours everyday. Days passed slowly for the warriors as they waited anxiously for word of the attack. Finally, three weeks after the last encounter with their princess, the call finally came.
"Warriors," called Chronia, "Red alert. I feel an evil presence. It has landed near the park we should get there right away!"
"Right!" they chorused and transformed into the warriors of the moon.
"Time to put our plan into action," said Uranus.
"Pluto, are both of them there?" asked Saturn.
"Yes," she replied.
"Then what are we waiting on?" asked Jupiter.
"Let's go!" They sped toward the park, all the while hoping that their plan would work.
"Are you ready, my dear?" asked Diamonds.
"Of course," answered Serenity, "Let's make those warriors grovel at our feet." Reni shuddered at the cold tone of the statement
"Yes, let's go." The couple teleported to the Earth and hovered over a clear space on the outskirts of the local park and waited.
"Look," said Serenity a little while later. "Here they come. I'll go down and take care of them. You wait here."
"Okay, I'll be here if you need me." When Diamonds said that, Reni hoped that it wouldn't come to that and the warrior would be able to free her.
"Look, everyone," said Warrior Earth. "There she is." They all stopped twenty feet from her; cautious of the fact that Diamonds was only a few feet in the air behind her.
"Well, well, well," Serenity said, "If it isn't the puny warriors of the moon. Hmm, seems you added a few more to your group. No matter, I'm neither impressed nor am I scared." She looked around at all of them. When her eyes looked at Warrior Earth, inside Reni felt a wave of love wash over her. That wave was so strong that Serenity felt it and had a sudden urge to run into his arms. Serenity shook her head, scowled, then said with much more venom, "Prepare yourselves for your last battle."
"Did you all see that," said Mars. "Reni is still in there. We have to strike quickly before her other self consumes her."
"Right," they said and prepared for the attack.
"DARK...MOON…" dark clouds gathered above Serenity's head; then the winds began to pick up speed and whip around the warriors "....WHIRLWINDS…" The winds then took shape and formed several tornados around Serenity. "...BLAST!!" Serenity yelled and the tornados then hurled themselves towards the warriors. The power behind the blast flung them fifty yards away.
"I knew you were no match for me and my powers," She stated coldly. "I don't know why I was with you weaklings."
"We may not be a match for you," said Mars weakly. "But we are far from weak." Mars got to her feet. "Because we love you, we are strong enough to bring you back to us." Pyro, Reni said inside of Serenity. Mars' words had struck a strong chord within Reni that Serenity felt her powers diminish slightly.
"I will never go back to your side," She yelled at them. "I feel stronger on this side and better than I've ever been."
"But at what cost?" asked Pluto, trying to exploit the crack. "Are you truly happy?" Serenity paused and stared at her.
"I…I…" but before she could finish her sentence, Diamonds answered for her.
"Of course she's happy. She's got a powerful man on her side, not some pathetic warriors who can barely fight." He then fired a powerful energy blast at them. Everyone easily dodged it, and the outer warriors, went to initiate their part of the plan.
"URANUS...WINDSTRORM...BLAST!!" A ball of wind formed in Uranus' raised hands, when it had gathered enough strength, Uranus spun her arms above her head in a clockwise motion, brought the attack to her chest then sent it shooting forward.
"NEPTUNE...OCEAN...TYPHOON!!" Neptune placed her arms together and pointed them down with her palms facing the ground. Slowly, water began to gather and form a wave. As the wave grew, Neptune raised her arms up with her palms still facing the building water. Once the water had reached her chest, she brought her arms in with her palms facing the water, and pushed the wave forward with a blast of energy. As the attack surged forward the wave grew in height and intensity. The powers hurtled towards Diamonds on both sides. He easily dodged Uranus' blast, but was hit by Neptune's, which left him senseless for a few moments. That was all the time needed for Pluto and Saturn to trap him. Pluto stood in front of him and Saturn stood behind him.
"Powers of Pluto and Saturn gather here. Bind this person to this space; hold him firmly with your holy power!" When the warriors finished the incantation, Diamonds was bound by the rings of Saturn and held to that space by a force field of time space. If he even tried to escape his chains would burn into his skin and the force field would contract until it sent him hurtling through the spaces in time. However, the chains and force field could be broken by a strong surge of power so the warriors didn't have much time to do what they needed to do.
Once Diamonds was bound, the outer warriors quickly rushed back to where the inner warriors had Serenity pinned down, and filled in the circle the inner warriors had formed. Serenity gazed warily at the warriors that had encircled her.
"What are you all staring at?" Serenity asked. "Aren't you going to kill me now?"
"Serenity," said Warrior Earth approaching her slowly, "the only thing we want is you back with us, with your friends and family." Earth stopped a few feet in front of her. Moisture was gathering in her eyes, and Serenity felt her powers take another dip. Serenity closed her eyes and had a talk with Reni.
"So Reni," Serenity started as she appeared in front of Reni, "it seems as if you really do have a strong bond of love with these people."
"Yes," Reni said with a smile, "I really do."
"I know about Pluto visiting you a while ago." Reni looked at her, shocked at the revelation.
"Why didn't you do or say anything?"
"Because I am a part of you; I was born only at your request."
"I never requested you to come and destroy everything," Reni denied. Serenity smiled a sincere smile.
"Maybe not consciously but a subconscious call brought me forth because it was time for you to confront me." Reni looked at her for a while and realized that she was looking at her past.
"I understand now," Reni said.
"Are you ready to confront your past?"
"Yes."
Serenity opened her eyes and gazed first at her love then at her best friends. Together, Serenity and Reni said, "I'm ready now." With Serenity's answer, Warrior Earth stepped back into the circle. The warriors, then, clasped hands and began to recite the incantation.
"Powers of Mercury, water and ice," Mercury began.
"Powers of Mars, fire and wisdom."
"Powers of Jupiter, lightning and nature."
"Powers of Venus, love and beauty."
"Powers of Uranus, thunder and wind."
"Powers of Neptune, ocean and sight."
"Powers of Saturn, destruction and rebirth."
"Powers of Pluto, time and space."
"Powers of Earth, life and love."
"Bring together the powers of the planets; unite them as one to bring back our Princess of the Moon." As they said the last line together, they all began to glow their colors: Mercury, azure; Mars, crimson; Jupiter, jade; Venus, orange; Uranus, dark blue; Neptune, aqua; Saturn, amethyst; Pluto, black; Earth, emerald. Those colors shot out towards Serenity and formed a crystal circle around Serenity. The circle pulled her into the air in a sleeping position, and forced her to sleep.
"Do you think this will work?" asked Mercury, when they had lowered their arms.
"It will work, Mercury, it will," said Warrior Earth, voicing the hope of all that stood around Serenity.
