Chapter 2

A few hours later Queen Serenity awakens and looks around nervously until her eyes land on Serenity.

"Come here daughter I must tell you something" Queen Serenity says in a weak squeaky voice.

"You can tell me later just rest and save your strength" Serenity says pushing her mother back down on the bed.

"No my time grows short you must leave the moon and never return or all is lost Serenity" Queen Serenity says coughing a little.

"Mom you're acting crazy just rest we'll talk when you regain your strength" Serenity says tears slowly rolling down her cheek.

"No Metallia will return soon you must go and take Luna and Artemis with you and no that I will always be here when you need me" Queen Serenity says coughing a little more and a dribble of blood comes out of the corner of her mouth.

"You're not dying Mom so just rest" Serenity says standing up to leave when Queen Serenity grabs her arm and pulls her down beside her.

"You must no why Metallia is after you before I die" Queen Serenity says coughing once more.

Just then one of the guards coming running into the room.

"Your majesties Queen Metallia has returned you must leave now" The guard says as Serenity is unceremoniously pulled away from her mother by the guard.

"Darien take her to Earth and protect my daughter with your life" Queen Serenity says clutching his hand and putting a piece of paper in it.

Then Queen Serenity closes her eyes and her arm drops to her side.

"No Mom" Serenity yells as four struggling girls pull her away from her mother's dead body.

Just then they hear a crash right outside the gate and the door flies open. Darien grabs Princess Serenity and throws her over his shoulder and runs to the Teleport pad.

"Input the coordinates" Darien yells at Jedite who quickly puts in the coordinates.

Just as Metallia come into the teleport room the ten people disappear in a beam of light not before one of them throws a rose at the console destroying the machine making them unable to trace the coordinates.

"Dammitt" Metallia screams striking down creatures as she goes.

The ten materialize on Earth with Serena clutched in Dariens arm crying her eyes out.

"I will take her now prince" Lita says holding out her arms for her crying princess.

"She's fine we better get moving" Darien says nodding at his generals.

They all head off towards the castle.

"Where are Luna and Artemis?" Rei asks worriedly.

"We're right here" Says two voices from under Darien's cloak.

Out steps Luna and Artemis in cat form.

Soon they arrive at the main gate of the palace once the guard sees prince Darien he immediately opens the gate.

"Hello my prince welcome home" The guard says bowing and staring at him strangely.

"Take this to my father and tell him to come to my chambers we need to talk immediately" Darien says before continuing into the castle and up to his chambers.

30 minutes later the door opens and in walks the King and Queen of Earth.

"What is the meaning of you demanding my presence?" The King asks angrily as the Queen places a hand on his shoulder pointing to the five women in the chamber.

"Father would you lower your voice Princess Serenity is sleeping" Darien says quickly.

His father notices the beautiful girl laying on the bed behind his son.

"What is going on?" King Darius asks more quietly.

"The moon was attacked by Metallia" Luna says coming from behind Rei in her human form.

"Luna long time no see" King Darius says looking at her nervously and questioningly.

"We should leave the kids and go talk in the throne room" Artemis says coming from behind Malachite.

"Yes, I agree" Queen Selena says.

The four adults leave 10 very confused people sitting in Prince Darien's room as they wonder what the big mystery is about Metallia and why is she so determined to get Serenity.
