Author's Notes: Four, almost five months later and I'm finally back with the next chapter. I'm really sorry for the long delay, but I really had to figure out what was going to happen in this one, especially since this is chapter six and there are only four more chapters left before the end of the story. So I had to make sure that I had enough room to set up the events. So without further ado, big thanks and hugs to:

Edwards Meteor – It would be kind of interesting to have Usagi go evil, wouldn't it? I've actually been playing with that idea ever since I started working on the first Shadows. Who knows, I might just end it that way? Thanks for your review!

Sailor Light37 – Thanks for the luck, I think it might have worked. Even though it's five months later, I hoped everything worked out for you too. Thanks for your review!

stephanielynn6722 – Your kind words in your review made my week/month, and I would go back to reading it when in need of inspiration to continue on with this chapter. I also like your idea of a compromise and have been slightly working on a rendition of it that will start to take place in future chapters. Thanks again for your beautiful review!

storycrazy22 – Haha. Well, now you know about the sequel and are continuing the ride I have created. Thanks for your review and for your loyal reading!

Senshi of Silence – Not too stuck, but just a several month writing block. But leave it to the smallest things for me to get inspired. Thanks for your review!

Lover11Anime – I already PM'ed you about the transformation level and there is more info about that in this chapter. Also as you requested there is more Senshi and General information. Thanks for your review!

All of your reviews mean the world to me. Also, the consensus was that it was a good thing that I didn't have Endymion stab Serenity at the end of the last chapter. I was also happy about the decision too when I went back to read it. Anyway, here's the next chapter. I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: One: I don't own Sailor Moon, which is so very sad. Two: I don't own the song "Make Me Wanna Die" by The Pretty Reckless. Three: This is a spinoff idea of the story In Darkness by the wonderful AngelONight. Four: This story is rated M for a reason. Mostly because of dark themes, language, and smut in this chapter. Enjoy!

Shadows of the Night: Darkness Remains

By: afallenblackrose

Taste me, drink my soul

Show me all the things that I shouldn't know

And there's a blue moon on the rise

I had everything opportunities for eternity

And I could belong to the night

Your eyes, your eyes

I can see in your eyes, your eyes

Everything in your eyes, your eyes

You make me wanna die

I'll never be good enough

You make me wanna die

And everything you love will burn up in the light

And every time I look into your eyes

You make me wanna die

~ Make Me Wanna Die ~The Pretty Reckless

Usagi had experienced this once before, and that had been the first time she died when the energies of the Golden Crystal, the Silver Crystal of the future and hers had combined. She had awoken on her former home – the Moon Kingdom – and in Mamoru's arms. This time though she woke up in a darker place, one that reeked of evil. She was also in a lot of pain, which surprised her. If she had died yet again, then why was she feeling this amount of pain? And if she was still alive, then why hadn't her crystal healed her? She looked around her, but couldn't see anything except something made of black onyx. What exactly had happened? And where was she? Had Endymion saved her? Usagi's memory flashed with the sway of his cape, him yelling at the final Doom and Gloom Girl, killing her and then apologizing to Usagi. She sighed as she remembered the way it felt to have her body be held in his arms, even though her body had been severely beaten. She must have lost consciousness after that, because she didn't remember anything afterwards.

Endymion must have taken her to the Dark Kingdom and also took her Silver Crystal so that way the brainwash could take effect. How he was able to take it away from her, she could only hazard a guess at. She sighed again, trying to shake off the pain that was starting to numb her brain. If Usagi wasn't careful, she was going to lose consciousness again which wouldn't be good. She had to figure out a way to get out of here before she lost herself to Darkness. Not that it would matter, because she was severely handicapped. She closed her eyes in frustration even as her mother's words floated through her head.

Stop fighting and give into the Darkness. Just as long as you are happy… the frustration increased. What had her mother been thinking telling her that? Was her happiness really more important than the safety of the universe? She didn't think so. A shadow hovered over her, which didn't surprise her. Considering her injured state, her walls had come down, allowing Endymion full access to their bond. He probably sensed her shock, pain and annoyance as soon as she awoke, and he was now checking up on her. She braced herself to face him for the first time since he had rescued her from certain death.

Usagi opened her eyes and came face to face with those familiar deep azure blue eyes that she had fallen in love with over a millennium ago. A sigh died on her tongue, as she saw the worry on his face disappear and turn to adoration. He reached down and cupped her cheek as gently as he could. Despite her best intentions, she leaned into that touch. Even though, he was evil, she still loved him with all of her heart.

"You gave me a scare, Serenity," he whispered. "If it wasn't for you lowering your walls, I would have never had known that you were so close to death." The worry came back into his gaze, but disappeared almost as quickly as it came.

"Yeah, well, it wasn't my fault that a power hungry youma was let loose," she replied. His gaze darkened in anger at her approximation of blame. She knew that she was pushing his buttons, but seriously, he was the reason that that bitch had been set loose to attack her friends in the first place.

"Still so sharp tongued after what we went through?" He clucked his tongue. "You may have been slightly out of it because of your injuries, but the way you said my name after I rescued you was no lie. Even though I'm evil, you still love me and want me like you used to. And once you've been turned to Darkness, we will have it for the rest of our lives." The determination that she had come to despise ever since he had tried to lure her to the Darkness so many years ago was evident in his voice. But this time she hated it because Usagi knew that Endymion had her right where he wanted her. She was injured, without the crystal and in the Dark Kingdom. She was as good as turned.

He smirked as he saw the realization of the situation she was in flash across her eyes. He was finally going to get what he wanted after all these years Serenity, mind, body, and soul. He trailed another finger down the side of her face, taking her in one last time before she was changed. He knew that it was going to take a while; he had lived through it and had watched as the Inner Senshi were turned a few years ago. Serenity, though, was a lot stronger willed than the others and himself had been. So hers would probably even take longer.

"Until your transformation is over, my love," he whispered removing his hand and stepping away from the brainwashing chamber. As soon as he did, bands of purple and black energy engulfed the chamber and began to pulse. Usagi felt herself growing weaker because of the pain from her injuries and the onslaught of dark energy into the confined space. Don't fight it her head whispered to her. She sighed. Maybe her mother was right. After everything she had gone through to get Mamrou back, she had failed. But now she would have the opportunity to be with him like she had always wanted. Hadn't she thought earlier that fighting another battle would be pointless when she fount out that Endymion still existed? Usagi closed her eyes and finally gave into her brain's exhaustion. By doing so, she also gave up the fight that she had been fighting for years.

She gave into the Darkness.

Endymion nearly fell over when he felt Serenity's ultimate decision. He had seen her anger when she realized where he had taken her and had thought that she would fight tooth and nail until she succumbed to her injuries. Her giving in so quickly, he had not planned for. But hopefully, that meant her transformation wouldn't take that long. He stood over the chamber and watched as the dark energy pulsed around his Moon Princess. Her face was perfectly serene, something he hadn't ever seen before. Usually those in the chamber had faces that were pained and tormented. This was very strange. But then again, Serenity wasn't normal, she never had been. She was extraordinary.

His eyes closed trying to imagine what it would be like once she was finally turned. He had been imagining this scenario for years. Now, it was almost a reality. A grin formed on his lips, as he reopened his eyes. Reality was so much better than imagination and memories could be. Goddess knows he had learned that when they had finally slept together a month ago.

"I've been waiting years for this moment, Serenity," Endymion whispered. "Please try not to keep me waiting too much longer."

Usagi had woken up in her own personal hell. Well, okay, not hell. It was actually pretty nice wherever it was. The last thing she remembered was passing out from the pain of her injuries and giving into the Dark energy surrounding her chamber. Now, she was in a soft bed and curled up into someone's side. She inhaled deeply and smiled somewhat. She would recognize that scent anywhere.

His body moved pressing her deeper into him and something stirred near her hip. She smirked knowing what it was, and what she was about to do. Usagi stopped though, not believing her boldness. Yes, over the last month, she had grown a little bit more adventurous in their love making and that moment the night before where she had reveled at the power she had held over Mamoru (who she now knew was actually Endymion) was scary. But now, she felt nothing about it. In fact, there was something in her that she didn't recognize. It was Darkness, which meant that her transformation had been completed. She was now evil. She slightly let out a sigh. She didn't feel that much different from before, just now there was this other power inside of her and shockingly enough, it felt good.

The thing stirring by her hop was now poking her most sensitive area and she groaned at the contact. Well, someone was finally awake. She opened her eyes and looked into the ones of her prince. He kissed her lightly on the mouth, before deepening it quickly. His kisses, as always, were addictive and she couldn't get enough.

The kisses continued and before she knew it, Usagi was on her back and he was on top of her, pressing her deep into the mattress. His lips left hers and she was finally able to catch her breath. A smirk was on his face as he leaned back down.

"That was the best 'good morning' we've had in a while, Sere," he said. "I'm sorry, about what happened yesterday. You know how jealous I get over you, and considering out recent problems…I just didn't know what to think."

Wait, problems? What problems? And what does he mean yesterday? Unless…oh god… she realized what had happened. Rei, Minako, Makoto, and Ami had told her about their experiences in the chamber. They had experienced these alternate universes where they were already turned to Darkness. This must be one of those universes. And in this universe, her and Endymion were having problems. Not to mention he thought she was cheating on him.

Maybe she was wrong. This just might be her own personal hell after all.

"Endy," she heard herself reply. "I've told you many times before, there will never be another man. It's always been you and the fact you still don't seem to grasp that concept concerns me." Usagi froze that had not been her that answered him. It had been her, but not her. Because that wasn't confusing enough. Usagi sighed and pushed back on Endymion's chest so that way she could get up. But he wouldn't let her; instead he captured her lips with his and deepened it so fast that her head began to spin. His tongue delved into her mouth, which caused her to moan. They broke apart and his head fell to her shoulder where he kissed her lightly.

"What was that?" She asked him surprised, but her breath hitched as he lightly outlined her body with his fingers. Her eyes locked with his, and he smiled an evil smile at her.

"It's been too long, Sere," he said, his voice husky, which caused her to shiver. His lips smiled in that way that always made her quiver with anticipation. Endymion took that as he cue and began to work his way down towards her stomach. Her body began to heat up as he continued to touch her in all the right places. She knew that this was wrong she shouldn't be doing this. But it felt too good to stop, and she didn't care.

Besides this wasn't really her anyway. This was the alternate universe her and in reality…well, if this was going to be her new reality then she was really going to like it here. She ran her fingers through his hair and brought him back to her. Usagi kissed him deeply and didn't stop until they were both left breathless. As they pulled away, his eyes met hers and there was a look of confusion there.

"What was that for?" He asked.

"Do I really need a reason?" She countered, smirking but he still looked confused. She sighed. "Look, if you want a reason I can always just leave." She made to get up, but his body pinned her back down to the mattress with a growl emitting from his throat.

"Don't do that," he said his lips pressing to her most sensitive spot – her collarbone. She let out a moan and this time it was his turn to smirk. "Now, where were we?" He asked in a low voice. Her hands drifted downward and brushed the erect member of his anatomy. He hissed and locked gazes with her; her only response was to raise her eyebrow to challenge him. He cocked his in return and lowered his head to her collarbone again. She bit back her moan, knowing that if she let it go it would only fuel his ego on further. This was now a battle and she was never one to back down from a battle.

Usagi froze. That last thought was not hers; it was the alternate universe version of her. Damn. Did Darkness make her into the ultimate sex kitten, or was that just from being with Endymion for so long? She didn't know, and she couldn't really do anything about this challenge now. So she gave in further to this alternate universe version of her and let her guide her next move. Her hands were still down near his precious brain, and she was going to use that to her advantage. She tightened her grip and stroked her thumb downward. He groaned right into her ear.

"Gods, you don't know what you do to me, Serenity," he whispered into her ear. Then he gripped her hips and flipped them over so she was on top of him. She gazed down at him, his hands still on her hips as he guided her directly onto his cock. She felt him slide in and she couldn't help but groan out loud as she felt him fill her completely. He jerked upwards, pushing himself deeper into her, causing them both to moan. Usagi leaned down and captured his lips with her own. Their tongues danced while they tried to pleasure the other. She felt her orgasm build and reach its crest, he must have felt it too because he broke away from her lips and increased his speed. The tension unwound and she cried out and collapsed onto Endymion's chest.

He thrusted up a few more times before she felt him release inside of her. With weak limbs she lifted herself off of him, but he quickly brought her back down onto his chest. His arms wound around her and pulled her even closer to him, so close that her breasts were pressed flat against his chest.

"Just stay a little bit longer like this, Serenity," he whispered pressing a kiss to her forehead. "I love you."

"I love you too," she whispered back and fell asleep.

Sailor Mars fell to her knees after the portal that carried Endymion and Usagi to the Dark Kingdom disappeared. They had failed in their mission again. They had been sworn to protect her and they couldn't do it. First they failed when they turned to Darkness. When they had come back to Light, they felt like this was their second chance. But it apparently wasn't meant to be. They had failed again – and this time it was worse. Not only had Endymion taken her, but she had also been on the brink of death.

A hand touched her shoulder, and she looked up into a familiar pair of green eyes. Jadeite was frowning down at her and she knew it was because he could feel her despair through their bond. He kneeled down beside her and offered her his hand to help her up.

There's nothing we can do right now, he sent through their bond. But take care of our injured and then plan a way to get her back. Mars looked into his eyes and nodded. She took his hand and brought herself back to her feet. She turned and made her way back to her fellow Senshi. Pluto had regained consciousness and was having her two broken ribs and various burns treated by Zoicite. Neptune had Uranus' head in her lap as they both napped off their exhaustion. Mercury was tending to Venus who had taken a rather pointy thorn through her left side. Kunzite was there holding her hand as she was being stitched and bandaged. Nephrite and Jupiter were standing near by watching all of this.

But upon Mars' approach, everyone turned their attention to her. Their eyes penetrated through her and she almost felt like flushing at their intense gaze. But that wasn't how her guardian planet had created her to be. So instead of blushing and shying away from their stares, she lashed out as only a Senshi of Mars could.

"What the hell are you guys staring at?" She asked a tad bit pissed off. What were they doing staring at her when they had wounded members in their party and their princess was missing?

"You look different, Mars," Venus commented approaching her. This caused her to raise her eyebrows and examine herself. Sure enough she did look different. Her choker, which she never usually saw was now dangling into her vision. She lifted up the charm to examine it and saw her planetary symbol, which hung from her new choker that was crafted out of red beads instead of the usual ribbon. The fuku body suit was the same length and color, but her sleeves were now shimmers instead of the fitted cuffs that she had previously. The bow in the back was now longer as well and the button that held her bow in front was now a red crystal. She looked back to Venus and the others and was shocked to see that their appearances had not changed.

"What happened to me?" She asked. Mercury stood up and came closer to her as she inspected every aspect of the new look. Her computer was also out to analyze the change. She clicked away, before the computer finally beeped.

"You've experienced a power up," Mercury finally concluded.

"A power up? Is that even possible?" She asked totally bewildered. A power up sounded more like something out of a video game than an actual thing.

"I think so. I mean Sailor Moon has gone through two power ups since this whole thing started. So why can't we?" Jupiter added into the conversation.

"Jupiter is right," Mercury said. "Sailor Moon has gone through two power ups and it's usually when she is in desperate need of power. I think the same thing happened to you when you saw Endymion summon the portal that would take him and Serenity back to the Dark Kingdom."

"She has a point," Jadeite said from her side. "As soon as that portal appeared, I sensed something from you. Then you yelled out an attack that I didn't recognize."

"Mars Flame Sniper," Mars whispered. "I didn't even think about how weird that attack was, I was just so determined to stop Endymion from taking her that I felt the usual fire and screamed it out."

"That's good," a hoarse Uranus chimed in. The group of Inners and Jadeite looked at the newly awakened Outer Senshi. "Now that Endymion has Serenity, it's going to take a lot of power from us to even try and get her back. With Mars powering up, the rest of you are sure to follow in her footsteps."

"Wait a second, if a new attack signals a Senshi power up, then doesn't that mean that Venus and Jupiter have already powered up?" Jadeite asked, but was met with questioning glances from everyone else. "Because while we were in Darkness, Jupiter had her Thunder Dragon attack and Venus had her Love Me Chain attack. Both are different from their usual attacks."

"I hate to say this, but he has a point," Zoicite murmured. "So, if that's the case, why haven't Jupiter and Venus' fukus changed like Mars' has?"

Jupiter and Venus exchanged looks with the other, knowing that they didn't have contact with the attacks that they had used while they were in Darkness. They would have felt that power by now, wouldn't they?

"Easy," Neptune softly said from beside Uranus. "Those weren't a natural power up. The attacks they used were fueled by Darkness. However, since they have used the attack before, it shouldn't take too much for them to receive the power again. The same goes with you too, Mercury."

The three Inner Senshi exchanged looks again. Well, it was worth a shot, wasn't it? Venus was first as she closed her eyes and opened her mind. She could feel the new power on the edges of her mind but every time she went to grab it, it would evade her grasp. She knew why, of course. The last time she had used that power it was for her own selfish needs. Now, she needed to prove to herself that the reason she needed that power was not for her own selfish gains again. An image of Usagi's broken body flashed through her mind. It wouldn't have happened if she had been strong enough to stop the Doom and Gloom girl she had faced off against. But instead she had fallen into their trap and had ended up entombed in vines. Now because of her powerlessness Usagi was in Endymion's grasp. Warmth flushed through her body and she opened her eyes.

Upon opening them, she saw the others staring at her. She followed their gaze and took in her new appearance. Just like Mars, Venus' choker was now made of yellow-orange beads and had her planetary symbol dangling from the center. Her sleeves were also made of shimmer and her back bow had long ribbons too. The button in the center of her front bow was now a yellow-orange crystal heart and the final new change, was the red chain that hung around her waist. She lightly touched it knowing it was her Love Me Chain.

Jupiter followed her leader's lead and closed her eyes. Just like with Venus, she could feel the new power on the edges of her mind but it was eluding her grasp. She mentally sighed and left herself open. She knew that she had made mistakes and had let down her princess twice. The first time was turning to Darkness and the second was her own damn fault. She was a fighter, and sometimes she let her battle instincts overcome her logical mind. Today was one of those days. The fight with the Doom and Gloom girl had seemed simple, at first, but then the vines and the fire had complicated things. But she didn't pay much mind to it. Instead she kept fighting. That's why she didn't notice she was headed into a trap until it was too late. And because of that, she had gotten herself and Nephrite trapped. Which in turn lead to Sailor Moon and her broken body. The sight made her heart ache. She had taken a vow to protect her, but she had failed twice now. The warmth flew through her body unexpectedly causing her to open her eyes.

The looks on the others faces told her that she had gone through the Senshi power up just like Venus and Mars had. The only differences were that her chocker and crystal were green and as she felt a weight on top of her head, she had a crown of some kind on the top of her head.

"Oak leaves," Nephrite said from beside her as his fingertips brushed the crown. "That's interesting."

"It must have something to do with her new attack," Zoicite replied also staring at the crown. Mercury glanced around her and sighed. All of her fellow Inner Senshi had upgraded, and she was supposed to go next. But how could she when she didn't have experience with these new powers like Jupiter and Venus did?

Have faith in yourself, Ami, Zoicite sent through their bond as his hand took a hold of hers. She smiled. He was always there for her and he was right, as usual. She had to have faith in herself. So she closed her eyes and opened her mind.

It took her longer to feel the new power than the others, but once she did it froze where it appeared. She didn't have to prove that she was worthy, did she? Mercury wasn't like the others; she didn't abuse her new powers when she was in Darkness. But you do wonder if you belong in the Senshi, the power seemed to speak to her. No, that wasn't true. She knew she belonged in the Senshi. She was the logical one, but what she did question was what stupid bubbles could do. Yes, they confused the enemy for a second, but other than that, they were pretty useless especially against the Doom and Gloom girl that evening. She had dispersed her bubbles to allow Zoicite the opportunity to sneak up on the Doom and Gloom girl and stab her, but it was like she knew what was coming. She had thrown out her arm of vines and they encircled Mercury. That's why she had been the first to be entombed in vines. And when she had been released, to see her princess so close to the edge of death…

Her heart ached in her chest. Usagi didn't deserve this and she didn't know how they were going to rescue her from Endymion's grasp… Her body flushed with warmth and she smiled as she opened her eyes. What surprised her was she felt a weight around her waist. She looked down and fingered the harp. She raised an eyebrow and wondered what this new power she had was and how the harp played into it.

"All right, so now that we have the power," Uranus said. "We now need a plan."

"What about you three?" Kunzite asked. "Don't you need to power up too?"

"Not really," Neptune replied. "We're already strong, but when we transform again we will have the new fukus too."

"So, as I said before, we need a plan," Uranus said and looked around at the others.

"Well…"

Usagi couldn't remember the last time she had woken up so completely happy. Well, she could, and that was the morning after she had given her virginity to Mamoru (who was really Endymion). When she woke up, Endymion was gone, but a red rose lay on his pillow in his place. This caused her to smile and bring the rose to her nose. The scent was amazing and the memories from a few hours ago replayed themselves in her head. This blissed out feeling couldn't last, could it? Or was that the point behind this alternate universe? That she could be this blissed out forever, with no more fighting and the love of her life at her side?

She collapsed back onto the pillows, the rose in her hands as she stared at the ceiling. Endymion was right about one thing. The Darkness was barely noticeable unless she really felt for it. That wasn't what she had been expecting and she also hadn't expected to feel like herself. So, could she really do this? She sighed. It wasn't like she had a choice anymore. That's why she was here. So she had to like this because she was in this – for better or for worse. She pulled a pillow out from under her and put it on her face before letting out a scream of frustration.

It was probably because she was screaming that she didn't hear the door to the room open. But she did hear it close and she knew that the person in the room with her now was not Endymion or her Senshi. With a frozen heart she removed the pillow from her face, sat up, and looked around. Standing by the door watching her, was a man with white blonde hair that almost looked silver and strikingly violet eyes. She didn't know who he was but alternate universe Usagi did.

"Demando," she said. "What are you doing here?"

"I was just making sure that you were okay after what happened yesterday," he said coming closer. "But apparently, I didn't have to worry." His eyes turned darker as he took in her appearance.

Unconsciously, she clutched the sheet around her naked body closer to her. Who he was finally flooded her mind. Prince Demando of Nemesis was not part of the Darkness, as she had first believed. He was visiting their planet to find a way to stop the negative energy from making his planet uninhabitable. While there, he had fallen for Serenity and she had somewhat returned his affection. The only reason she had was because Endymion and her were having problems because she was still thirsting for her Light ways. Demando gave her that. Yesterday, they had been planning a way to get her back to the Light when their emotions had gotten the better of them. They had almost kissed until Endymion walked in on them and started raising hell. He had dragged her away and they had a screaming match before going to sleep.

"Look Demando," she tried to find the words, but didn't have to as he joined her on the bed.

"No, don't start, Serenity," he replied sounding agitated. "Because I finally figured out how to get you back to the Light. I figured it out last night that it's Endymion that's keeping you here in Darkness. Every time you start moving back to Light, he drags you back down. So, the plan is simple, we have to sever your ties with him and the only way I know how to do that so it would be permanent is to kill him."

Her eyes widened in shock, a protest bubbling to her lips. She couldn't live without Endymion, by killing him it was like killing a part of her soul. But before she could get it out, Demando leaned in and claimed her lips with his own. Her body was frozen in shock as his icy lips worked over her own. She couldn't do anything – her brain was totally shocked and paralyzed. What was she supposed to do? Her firsts were raised to fend him off when the door banged open.

"Get your hands off of my wife!" Endymion's voice exclaimed in rage. The icy lips were gone and Usagi watched as his fist connected with the side of Demando's face. He collapsed to the ground and Endymion came back to her a face full of concern.

"Are you okay, Serenity?" He whispered as he lifted her chin. She nodded her head a few tears in her eyes. Her lips didn't taste right and were so cold she didn't think that they would ever be warm again. His eyes searched hers before leaning down to kiss her. The familiar warmth never came, as a sword pierced through his back and through his abdomen. He looked down, shocked to see the sword before collapsing into her arms. A scream escaped her throat as she clutched at his body. His opened eyes looked at her as he raised an arm and touched her face with his fingers.

"Don't cry, Serenity," he whispered. "I love you." Blood began bubbling over his lips and his eyes closed, for the last time.

"No! Endymion!" She screamed.

Endymion was pacing just a few feet from the brain wash chamber, getting more anxious by the second. He had been experiencing Serenity's blissed out state for the last two hours through their bond and couldn't wait for her to awaken.

"No! Endymion!" He heard Serenity scream. He froze in his pacing before rushing to her side. Her face was so distressed and he could feel her heart breaking, which confused him. What had happened that caused her to be like this? He couldn't wake her because the transformation wasn't complete yet. She whimpered in pain, but he was at a loss of what to do.

He was so wrapped in his thoughts that he didn't hear someone come up behind him and hit him on the back of the head. He instantly lost consciousness as he slumped to the floor. When he came to, he was disorientated and had the worst headache. What the hell had happened? Who had knocked him out? And was Serenity okay? He felt through their bond and was relieved that she wasn't as tormented as she had been before he had been knocked out. But speaking of her…he climbed up to look over the edge of the chamber to see her face. Instead he let out a scream of rage.

Serenity was gone.

Author's Notes: Wow, such a dramatic chapter, I sort of didn't really see that one coming. Oh, sure, I had planned out Usagi's disappearance from the chamber, but other than that this one sort of wrote itself every few weeks. For those who I know are going to ask, the Senshi's power ups I based on the Super S manga. Well, I better start planning out the next chapter. So please review and I'll update soon!
