Thanks so much for the massive amounts of reviews! I'm so close to being at 200, and I am so excited! Here is another chapter!

As the story turns…..

Chapter 9: The Warrior

"Please, tell me the truth." Edward's eyes searched mine, and I gave a sigh of defeat.

Without a word, I began to walk out towards the parking lot, and then out towards our last spot in the woods. I stood there for what seemed like ages, trying to think fast of what I should tell him. Should I tell him the entire truth, or just parts of it? I could no longer deny that I was the Moon Princess from so long ago, but I could keep secret all the other things about me that have not been revealed.

I turned to Edward and began. "The legend that we just heard is, for the most part, true."

I turned away from Edward and paused, awaiting a comment, but it never came, so I continued. "Our moon was home to a great civilization. We existed during the time of the Silver Millennium, when all the planets were at peace. The whole universe was a happy place, and our moon kingdom was the happiest place of all."

My eyes began to lose focus as I thought of my past. "I was Princess Serenity, and I was heir to the throne. I was young and very naïve. I had only been exposed to the Utopia of the moon kingdom. I never had to face reality. My heart being as pure as it was, I naturally fell in love very quickly. His name was Endymion, and he was a Prince from Earth."

I paused again, but Edward still said nothing. "He loved me as well, and we knew from the instant we met that we were meant for each other. It was pure bliss until we were attacked. A jealous Queen rose up on Earth. Her name was Beryl, and she was manipulated by a demon known as Queen Metalia. Beryl was enraged with jealousy of Endymion's love for me, and Metalia used this to coerce her into leading the Dark Kingdom."

"The Dark Kingdom attacked the moon with a vengeance, and Queen Beryl sought to remove Endymion from me. When she realized that his love for me would never waiver, she attacked both of us…damning us to death. Endymion tried to protect me, and he was killed in the process."

Tears began to stream down my face at this point. "My heart broke when he fell. Beryl could only laugh in my despair. At that point, my life was over. Endymion was my future. He was a part of my very soul. I couldn't bear the pain, so I took up his sword and plunged it through me, effectively taking my own life."

I took a deep breath as the memories came flooding back. "My mother, couldn't believe that our destruction had come. Even more, she could not take the fact that I was no longer alive. She took the Silver Crystal and used it against our enemies. The power she had to use though weakened her greatly. She saw the kingdom was destroyed, and she knew that the moon kingdom was no more. She used the last of her strength to send my guardians, my prince, and myself to a new future on earth."

I let out a low sob, as my weight fell against a tree for support. "So that's the big mystery of my past."

"What about the rest of it?"

"What?" I turned to Edward with a sharp eye.

"Are you to restore your kingdom? What about your reawakening?"

I thought about my kingdom that had already come to pass. About the people I had lost. About my time as a Senshi. "I'm not sure if that will ever happen." I lied. "As long as the world is at peace, then I am as well."

"Where is Endymion?" Edward asked with a hint of jealousy.

I turned quickly away from him. I blinked away the tears, determined to not let him read any further into me. "He doesn't remember me." I stuttered out.

"I don't believe you." He came around to place his arms around my waist. He pulled me close, embracing me tightly…trying to give me comfort. He knew the pain I was feeling. "How can anyone forget you?" I turned and allowed myself to face him.

"What can I say, it is what it is." I said exasperated. "Now, are you satisfied, because I really don't wish to continue with this conversation?"

"I suppose, for now anyway."

"Good." I looked up towards the sky, and noticed the sudden change in the clouds. "Hmm, it looks like we're going to get a storm."

Edward looked to the sky as well, and his face lit up in a grin. He quickly let go of his embrace and grabbed my arm. We then began to run rapidly through the woods back towards the parking lot.

"What are you doing?" I demanded.

"We are going to play baseball."

"What? I just pore my heart out to you, and answer your bleeding questions, and you say to me 'we're going to play baseball'?!?"

Edward chuckled. "What can I say, I'm still a guy."

We continued to run until we reached his car. We loaded up into it, and he sped out of the parking lot like a bat out of hell (as always). It wasn't a mere five minutes before we reached his house, and I once again wanted to kiss the ground when I stepped out of the car.

We ran inside the house, and before Edward could even open his mouth Alice said, "I know."

Everyone in the house began to gather their things together, and I just stood there by the door. I thought back to the time I played with Seiya, and I did a mental sweat drop at the memory.

They all began to head towards the door, and we were out before I even knew it. I was riding in the car with Edward, Alice and Jasper, and the others gathered into another car.

"Uh, Edward." I said hesitantly. "I think it's best if I just watch. I'm not very good at sports."

"I don't think I want you to play anyway; I just want you to watch. I don't think you'd be able to keep up with us anyway."

I arched my eyebrow at him, but didn't comment on that last sentence. "Why do you need a thunderstorm?"

"You'll see." Alice replied.

We soon arrived to an open field, and the Cullens began to set up for the game. I stood off to the side, and Esme came to stand next to me. "You'll enjoy watching this."

Alice looked to the skies, and then said, "It's time." She threw the first pitch, and it was extremely fast. Rosalie was up to bat, and she smacked the hell out of the ball. It sounded exactly like thunder. Edward took off running into the woods, and soon emerged with the ball…throwing it to home plate. Rosalie was out, and she looked pissed about it.

"I see now why you need the thunder." I said to Esme.

The game continued for quite some time, and I was utterly amazed at how they even attempted this game at this pace. Edward was next up to bat, and I wanted to try something.

"Emmett," I called out, "do you mind if I pitch once? I'm not much of a batter, but maybe I can throw a good pitch."

Emmett paused for a moment before he smiled and said, "Go right ahead."

I stepped up to the mound and faced Edward with the ball in my hand. His stance definitely loosened up at his realization that I was throwing the next pitch, but I paid him no heed. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the air. I threw the ball out to the side and whispered, "Please Uranus, let your winds blow fast and sure." I swirled the ball around and threw it, allowing the powers of Uranus to push it through.

"Strike!" Esme shouted.

"Can't keep up, can I?" I gave Edward a knowing look. His mouth was daggling wide opened, and I couldn't help but chuckle at his reaction.

"Haha!" Emmett yelled. He came over to tackle me in a bear hug and said, "Serena is on MY team from now on." I blushed at his openness, and I glanced back at Edward. The same expression was still written on his face, and I laughed once again.

We were having a great time, that is until the fun was interrupted. We all felt the presence of another vampire approaching. The Cullen family gathered around me, and Edward placed his arm around my waist.

"They heard us playing." Alice said.

Soon, three vampires emerged from the woods. Two guys and one girl. They were all three gorgeous in their own way. They approached us, and the dark one said, "We heard you playing. Do you have room for more?" We all stood there in silence, never letting our guard down. I took a moment to study their eyes. They were all red, and I knew that they fed off of human blood.

The silence continued, and then the dark one said, "Forgive my manners, this is James," he pointed to the man standing next to him, "this is Victoria," pointing to the girl, "and I'm Laurent. Please, forgive our intrusion, but we haven't played in awhile."

"I'm Carlisle, and this is my family. You seem to have caused some trouble for us. Your hunting has put my family in danger."

"Please, forgive us. We did not know this territory was taken." Laurent said.

"We led them back east anyway. You should be safe." Victoria added.

"Thank you." Carlisle said. "If you wish, you can join our game. A couple of our players were leaving."

Laurent nodded, and everyone began to move. Edward and I began to make our way towards the car, but then the winds changed.

"You brought a snack." Said James. Edward moved to stand in front of me, along with the rest of the Cullens. "Don't touch her." Edward said forcefully.

I could tell that James' aura grew darker at Edward's declaration. He wasn't going to let up.

"She is a friend, and a part of this family. She will not be harmed." Carlisle demanded.

Still James' aura grew darker. Edward was beginning to twitch, and I knew he was reading his mind. This wasn't going to end here.

"Edward." I said softly. "Let me handle this."

"No! Stay back!"

"I can handle this!"

"Do you hear that?" James said turning to Victoria. "The human wants to play."

"Edward move!" I didn't want him to get attacked trying to protect me. Had he not learned from my story of the moon kingdom? Still though, he did not budge. I took a deep breath and accepted that I had to stand up for myself, and face my enemies. I threw my hand in the air and screamed "Cosmic Moon Celestial Power!"

A silver light engulfed me, and within moments I stood there in my form as Sailor Cosmos. Edward stared at me as he finally saw me without any of the hidden disguises. I turned to James and said, "Leave, and you will not be harmed."

"What are you?" He asked.

"I am Sailor Cosmos, the keeper of balance in this world. Trust me; you do not want me as your enemy."

"Fancy lights don't scare me." And then James flew at me. Edward moved to block him, but he was only knocked to the side. "Edward!" Once James recovered from the blow, he was at me again, ready for the fight. He approached me at an alarming rate, but I called upon the powers of Saturn to protect me. "Silent Wall!"

The block successfully threw James a couple of yards. Victoria then made her way toward me. "Dead Scream." She was blasted into the nearby tree, knocking her out. I looked towards James to see him rising again. "Flame Sniper!" I shot the arrow right through his chest. He screamed at the pain of being burned. Laurent's eyes widened in fear, and he quickly gathered Victoria up in his arms and ran off into the woods, abandoning James.

I held out my hand, and my Moon Tiare appeared. I held it up and began to spin. As I spun I screamed the words "Silver Moon, Crystal Power!" The attack hit James dead on, effectively turning him into moon dust.

When my job was finished, I fazed back into my earthly form. I turned to the Cullens, and they were all staring at me. Edward looked as if he had been hurt deeply, and I had to look away from his penetrating gaze.

"I think it's time we all talked." I said, before I walked away.

There's another chapter! I hope everyone enjoyed it! If you all are fans of my previous story Prince Caspian and the Moon Princess, then you will be glad to know that I've started the sequel, it's called War of the Titans (check it out). In the meantime, for this story (and the other), PLEASE REVIEW!!!

P.S. The reason I didn't put "Kiss" on the end of the last attack was because I wanted it to actually attack James, not heal him (like usual).
