Sorry it took longer than necessary to get these chapters up. Midterms just passed here at Florida State University and I was busting my behind with studying but the long wait is over. Here are the chapters. Thanks you guys for all your support and the reviews without you all I wouldn't be able to do it because I would have given up. Here we go........

~Previously~
Serena walked up to the foursome and Rei's eyes fluttered.

"looks like we are doing this my way." Rei shut her eyes and fell into an unconcious state and welcomed the dark as it took away her pain. "Looks like we are stuck here waiting in the dark." Said Trista

I Thought That You'd Be Here By Now

"How long do you think they'll be out?" Michelle asked, sitting on the bridge's rail, twriling a lock of her shoulder length aquamarine hair.

"Kind of hard to tell that was a pretty powerful blast," Commented Hotaru.

Serena just shrugged, "It was nothing," she turned to face her friends, "I expected them to be stronger than that." In the distance the clock struck one in the morning.

"I thought that they'd be up by now."

"You've had to suppress your power for so long even you have started to doubt your ability, love." Darien said to Serena as he wrapped his arm about her waist.

A series of muffled groans were heard from the heap of girls on the ground. Lita was the first to get up. She helped Rei up and Ami helped Mina get up. Rei

just growled at Serena and was ready to charge her until Lita grabbed her arm. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. You see just how powerful she is." She whispered

fiercely to a heated Rei. The sparks of anger danced in her eyes.

"Lita is right," Ami said. " With just one energy pulse she knocked us all out. We should all go at her one by one so it can buy me time to analyze her weakness."

"I second that motion. She has skills we haven't seen before." stated Mina. The other three girls just looked at her. "No shit Sherlock. What did you think it

was, a demonstration?" Rei yelled at Mina. She just rolled her eyes at Rei.

"Well, I must say I agree with Mina and Ami. You have a better chance of living attacking one at a time." Serena said to Rei. She wasn't too happy hearing the smug tone in Serena's voice. The anger spread through Rei's blood like wildfire. She tried to suppress the red heat that threatened to suffuse her face. Before she could say anything Lita stepped up. "I'll take her first." Serena moved from Darien's body and immediately felt the loss of warmth from his embrace, but their mental link remained open. 'Be nice, love.' Darien said to her through their link. "Always," she responded aloud. She stood with her legs shoulder width apart, her arms crossed over her chest. "Let's do this." Lita came charging at her, striking left and right. No matter how many punches and kicks she threw, she could never manage to hit her. Even worse, Serena didn't seem to move. Panting for breath, she spun around with for one last roundhouse kick. Serena brought her hand up and caught Lita's ankle in her left hand, holding in it inches from her face. With a half smile and a flick of her wrist Lita was sent flying into the rail of the bridge and knocked unconscious again. "Oh my goodness, Lita!" Ami cried and ran to her side to see if her friend was ok. "You're going to pay for that, bitch." Mina growled at her old friend. Serena shrugged her shoulders. "Bring it on." Mina pulled the sword that she had hidden from its sheath. Serena chuckled at Mina's weapon. "Playing with sharp objects now are we?" Closing her eyes and holding her hands out in front of her, she concentrated on drawing her energy forward. A flash of light could be seen and a long sword formed in Serena's hands. Her crescent moon appeared on her forehead and shone brightly. Rain clouds started to circulate in the midnight sky above. A battle was about to begin. Not good versus evil, but Princess versus former guardian

Alrighty, Sorry it took so long for me to get this chapter out. College is some tough stuff. Trying to deal. I promise there is more to come. Thank you so much for the awesome reviews. Love ya!!!!!!
