Chapter 2: Something Wicked this way comes
Serena was back at Rei's house with the other scouts and Darien. They had just witnessed Sapphire's death. Rini…could that really have been Rini? Her eyes started to tear up. She had to do something. They needed to get Rini back.
"We need to get Rini back." Darien said as if reading her thoughts. It always amazed her the way he could do that sometimes.
"You're right." Rei said.
"There's no way around this is there…" Ami said.
"Nope, we're just going to have to go get her ourselves." Leta said.
"Yea, and fight those nega-dweebs." Mina continued.
"It's the only chance we have." Serena said, as they all stared at her with caring and sympathetic eyes. They simply nodded in agreement. They left Rei's house all at once, running toward the dark black crystal spaceship, walking straight towards a fight they knew they couldn't avoid. Little did they know, they were being followed; followed by a black orb with an unmistakable black crescent moon on it and kitty ears.
Moments later, the girls and Darien reached the area in front of this floating structure. It didn't take long, as each of them transformed into their scout form, and Darien to Tuxedo Mask.
"Let's go guys!" Sailor Moon said.
"Right!" They nodded in agreement.
"Not so fast!" A high pitched female voice teemed out from behind a telephone pole. They looked up to see a black floating Luna ball and then out from behind it, with her back pressed against the pole, was unmistakably Wicked Lady.
"Rini!" Sailor Moon burst out.
"I don't go by that name anymore…and don't you dare call me Small Lady either; it's Wicked Lady. And, if you Sailor brats were thinking of trying to get into there, you wouldn't make it."
"Hey don't go calling us brats, Rini we're your friends!" Sailor Venus persisted.
"Ha!" She opened her umbrella to shoot dark energy at Venus throwing her backwards. "Told you not to call me Rini!"
"Venus, are you okay?" Mars said trying to help her friend up.
"Why are you doing this?" Tuxedo Mask asked.
"Why? Because it's my duty to. You scouts never gave me any love. I was just around because you had no-one else to babysit me. You left me behind, and ignored me. You never cared for me. The Black Clan's given me a chance to use my true power."
"Well we need to get into that Dark Crystal ship, we want to help you!" Jupiter said.
"The only person getting in that ship is me… and you: Sailor Moon."
"What?" Sailor Moon said looking astonished at this sudden invite that Wicked Lady had imposed on her. Wicked Lady used her umbrella to shoot another amount of dark energy at the scouts causing them all to fall back onto the rock hard pavement road. She started to turn her umbrella so a dark orb emerged and suddenly engulfed Sailor Moon.
"No Serena!" Tuxedo Mask called out, as the scouts tried to get up.
"Why do you want me?" Sailor Moon said as she rose within the bubble of dark energy.
"I don't. Prince Diamond does." And with a snap the two disappeared from site, as Wicked Lady zapped the two of them into the dark crystal palace.
