Chapter 12

~Previously~ 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

There's Nothing but the Rain

The thunder clouds were rolling in above them. Circling the sky and shrouding the moonlight. A mystic mist had formed close to the ground of the bridge. The only light that could be seen was the light that Serena's aura emitted.
**Across Town in the Tsukino Household** Her lone figure stood by the windows, I worried expression had claimed her features. "Usa-chan, my dearest daughter, I hope you are faring well." The tears that she had been holding back suddenly began to spill forward. Ikuko's husband, Kenji, had thrown himself into his work ever since he had banished their daughter. Shingo rarely left the house or played with his video games anymore since his sister left.
In the office of the house, a man stood by the bay windows and watched the thunder clouds roll in. "Please be alright my little Usa." He whispered the words into the night.

** Back at the Bridge**

Tired of standing around, Mina growled and charged at Serena. Watching her stand there with just a shadow of smile on her face was pissing Mina off. She pulled the sword back and thrust with all her strength. Serena held her sword in her right hand and caught the blade of Mina's weapon in her left. Mina's eyes widened in astonishment, never had she ever seen such great display of power or control from anyone let alone Serena.
Closing her eyes, she drew on the power that she knew lay hidden deep within her. With one psychic pulse she sent Mina flying in the same general direction that Lita was thrown in.
"Her power levels are off the charts! I can't even get a proper reading on them." Ami told Rei in disbelief. A worried look flickered across her face. She couldn't sense where Serena's power began and ended.
'I don't want to be the next to face her.' Ami thought to herself. She could still see the glow of Serena's aura emanating around her.
"Don't worry Ami you won't have to. I think Rei has realized that she can't hide behind you all, she knows she's next." Serena told her, confidence emitting from every part of her being. She could feel the hidden power of her ancestors flowing through her veins.
"Hiding?" Rei screamed in astonishment "Is that what you think I am doing?" Serena shrugged her shoulders, "It's not like your being productive."
"You should talk. You are nothing but a low life, fast talking Lunarian bitch that just happened to get lucky and was born into a week family when her mother got knocked up!" Slap! A red hand print was left on Rei's left cheek. "Talking about me is one thing, talking about my family and heritage is another. That is a line that you will take care never to cross again, lest you desire to feel the full extent of my power." Serena said slowly trying to suppress the anger that was raging through her. Shock took over Rei's body, she didn't even sense Serena come near her. In fact it appeared as if she didn't even move! Rei closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to gather her energy, she entered a fighting stance. "What are you waiting for?" Serena smiled, "Its about time. Let's rumble." The thunder clouds collided and the sound of thunder claps could be heard throughout the city and streets of Tokyo. The rain fell sharply down on the warriors as they faced off but neither of them seemed to be getting wet. Darien, Hotaru, Amara, Trista and Michelle stood off to the side and watched patiently.

Rei went charging at Serena with out a sound. Hoping to catch her off guard she pulled a temple scroll from her back pocket. Anticipating her moves, Serena stood and waited for Rei's attack. Saying the sacred temple words she release the scroll to dispel it powerful magic. Pulling back she saw Serena didn't make any move to remove the scroll from her chest, where it had landed. With a smirk she did a roundhouse kick to Serena's head. To her utter shock Serena caught her ankle easily.
"Powerful but it isn't enough." She flung Rei back with a flick of her wrist. She landed on her back about forty feet away. The rain fell harder and before rain blacked out all she could hear was nothing but the rain as it fell steadily to the ground.
