31. Chapter 31 The Devil's Seed

Chapter Thirty-One

The Devil's Seed

Happy Holidays everyone! Thank you for the great reviews for the previous chapter. I truly appreciate your feedback and constructive criticism. It really helps shape me into a better writer. Now, I want to take a moment to address some of your comments. We are halfway through the second act of a three part story. The second part of Ever After is the darkest chapter of the story. The pieces of the puzzles began to come together and many of your questions in regards to part one will be answered before the conclusion of the second part. Whenever I write a flashback or past event in my stories, I always use italics. In regards to the final scene in the previous chapter, it will be explained in this chapter. Part one focused more on Serena. Part Two becomes Darien's story. We will finally get to see things from his perspective including events that occurred in Part One and events that occurred before the beginning. For many of you who were tired of Darien's perfect life, it's over. It is now Darien's turn to face the consequences of his actions. The death of Karen was a major turning point for Darien, and we shall now witness the full extent of how the loss of both Serena and Karen has affected him. We shall witness how being with Darien at the point in his life affects his children also. Yes, this is a darkest before dawn type of story. So there is no need to get depressed over it. Just sit back and enjoy the journey. I did not name this story Ever After just for the heck of it. With six chapters left in Part Two, the countdown to the apocalypse starts now. So buckle up and prepare for one hell of a ride. Without further ado, I present to you the next chapter. Enjoy!

Ariel stood in the corner and turned her head as Jason slapped Patricia hard across the cheek. Patricia's head turned to the side. She had been tied up in a wooden chair in the basement for weeks. Her hands were tied together behind the back of the chair and her legs were tied together with rope wrapped around the legs of the chair.

"Tell us about the government."

Patricia turned back to Jason, who looked pissed off. For almost an entire month, Jason and Darien had her tied up questioning her about the government because in some stupid dream they saw her pledging her allegiance to Dragon. She refused to answer their questions no matter how much they tortured her.

Patricia spat at him. She yelled, "Go to hell."

Jason frowned wiping the spit off his face. He yelled leaned forward with his hands on both sides of the chair until they faces were inches apart, "I'm already in hell with your crazy ass family thanks to you and this jacked up world we live in."

Patricia grinned. "Leave little boy, you don't belong here. Only death is in your future." She gave him a crazy look that scared him.

Jason retorted, "I love your daughter even though her mother is a crazy bitch."

Patricia mocked, "That isn't a nice thing to say to your dear mother-in-law, at least to her face."

Jason whipped out a gun he had tucked behind his back in the waistband of his jeans. He pressed the cold metal against her temple frightening Ariel. He demanded, "Tell me what I want to hear before I blow your brains out."

Patricia laughed unfazed by him. "Really, are you going to tell my daughter that you killed her mother? You don't scared me little boy. I deal with bigger men." Jason cocked the gun pressing the cold metal to Patricia's cheek. Patricia looked unmoved as she stared him down with a twisted smirk on her face. "Give Mina, my love." Jason cursed under his breath. He wanted to kill her, but Patricia was right. She was his fiancée's mother. Mina would never forgive him. Frustrated, he stormed out of the room passed Ariel. Ariel jumped when she heard the door slammed shut behind her.

Patricia turned her attention to Ariel. She said, "You're awfully quiet watching your mother getting beat and torture."

Ariel said spitefully, "Shut up, Patricia."

Patricia laughed and said, "And finally the demon comes out."

Ariel strode over to Patricia and grabbed Patricia's neck. In one squeeze, she could break her little neck.

Patricia laughed as she tilted her head upwards towards Ariel, staring her directly in the eyes. "I always knew that you would turn out evil. Your father warned me that you will grow up to be a slut."

Ariel yelled, "I am not a slut. I am not like you. You are not my mother."

Patricia said, "You are exactly like me. Lusting after your sister's fiancé. He will never love you, Ariel."

Ariel squeezed Patricia's neck causing her gasp for air. "I do not love him. I am not evil. I am not you." Ariel let go.

Patricia breathed quickly. Patricia said after regaining control of her breathing, "Keep telling yourself that."

Ariel stepped away from Patricia. Patricia's blue eyes followed Ariel as Ariel walked over to a table across the room and glanced at the knives and scalpels they used to torture her mother with. As she toyed with a scalpel, Ariel said, "I have Mina's powers now."

"You are an abomination. I should have killed you when you were born."

Ariel blinked placing the scalpel down. She glanced back at Patricia "I always knew that you loved Mina more."

Patricia sighed. "I loved you equally. I could not help falling in love with you. You are a child of a sun, so beautiful. You were a perfect child."

Ariel turned around to Patricia. "I tried to be her all my life. I am living her life but why am I not happy."

Patricia said, "Because you're not Mina. You have a great life but you don't see that because you are so full of hatred for me and your sister. Don't hate Mina. Hate me. She was only a child when it happened. I put her through therapy to cope."

Ariel happily strutted over to Patricia, "Yes, let's forget that your perverted, sadistic husband sexual abused your daughter for six years of her life and you allowed him to. Let's forget that your daughter had me when she was ten-years-old. Let's forget that you killed my father, and lied to the man that I thought was my father and Mina for ten years. Let's pretend that for the last eighteen years of my life that you have not lied to me. Let's continue to pretend that Mina is still my sister and you are still my mother and you are not a selfish, conniving, and twisted bitch." Ariel popped down into a chair in front of Patricia and crossed her legs. She said cheerfully and bright eyed, "What do you want to know about Mina's wedding?" Ariel said dramatically as she gushed about Mina's upcoming wedding, "The dress is to die for. You'll love it. The guys are wearing white tuxedos and their wedding song is from some pop group from the nineties that Jason loves." Patricia remained silent with sorrowful eyes. "Zayden, Lita and Andrew's little boy, is the ring bearer and he looks so adorable in his white tuxedo. Jason's mother is coming over with his siblings. Jason's brother is single and is my partner. Maybe I can fuck him since he is age appropriate and single..."

Patricia interrupted, "You can stop now."

Ariel smiled. "Whatever you say, mother." Ariel uncrossed her legs and rose from the chair. She then leaned over and kissed Patricia on the cheek where Jason had slapped her. She walked out of the room. The door slammed shut and locked behind her. Patricia rested her head against the back of the chair.

She felt a dark presence in the room. Death appeared out of the shadows wearing a black hooded cloak and a scythe in his hand. Patricia laughed. "My time is up already."

Death did not respond. His face was hidden. Patricia's eyes started with tears. "At least let me see my daughter's wedding. That's all I ask. I accept my fate." He stepped back into the shadows and disappeared.

Serena was trapped in her chambers in the devil's palace. A majestic and enormous palace made out of the hard stone bricks with large pointed arches doorways and beige and white checkered floors. The stone wall hallways were endless like a maze and covered with satanic artifacts in honor of their god Satan. Dragon's guards constantly patrolled the hallways of the palace and the fortress that surrounded the palace and the tower. Any demonic creature who tried to break into the palace was instantly vaporized or burned to death in the fiery lake. The sky was always red with black smoky clouds and lightening cracked and scorched the sky. Fire breathing dragons swarmed the sky.

Serena's eyes were red as she vomited all morning and woke up in cold sweat. She still resembled Alex. She tried to use her powers to teleport but they would not work. It was her twenty-eighth birthday today and she was miserable.

She changed into a tank top and sweatpants. She looked in the floor mirror and lifted up her shirt exposing her stomach. She touched her stomach. It was still flat even though she felt something moving inside of her. A tiny handprint pushed against her skin from the inside of her stomach. She panicked.

Dragon appeared behind her startling her. Her body trembled at his touch. His hands splayed out across her neck and shoulders and then stroked her soft arms. He placed his large hand on her stomach. He grinned at her through the mirror. Their baby was growing quickly.

His lips pressed against her neck. She cried, "What have you done to me?"

Dragon said, "You're carrying my child. And when it is born, I shall walk the earth with you as my queen."

Serena trembled, "I will never…."

Dragon kissed the other side of her neck. He rested his head on her shoulder and stared at her through the mirror. "It is already done. You are pregnant with my child. You belong to me now. I feel your every desire. I can hear your every thought. You bow to my will. You are completely submissive to me now."

Serena cried out pushing herself out of his hold, "You lied to me! You tricked me! I thought I was making love to Darien." She moved away from him.

Dragon said, "I told you that you would come willingly. Not in what form I'll be. "

Serena shook her head. "No, this cannot be."

Dragon stared at her. "Yes, it is. We will wed tonight."

He walked passed her towards the door. Serena said, "I will not."

He turned to her. He walked back over to her until they were face to face. He could feel her fear of him. He said in resolute tone, "You will marry me tonight or watch one of your loved ones die tonight. I'll let you pick. Your mother. Your father. Sammy. Your daughters. Darien. Ami. Mina. Lita. Andrew, Sarah, Josh, their baby brother." He massaged his chin in a perplexed way. "What about if I take Katie and aged her and have my way with her?"

Serena lashed out, "You can't! She no longer has her powers."

Dragon retorted, "You think I give a damn. I'll turn her into one of my concubines to keep my bed warm at night. She was quite beautiful in your imagination." Serena held up her hand to slap him. He quickly caught her wrist and pulled her into his arms. Her heart pounded rapidly. Her body became hot. Why I am I feeling this way, she wondered.

Dragon read her thoughts. "You're carrying my child. As long as our child is inside of you, you'll desire me. Don't worry. It'll stop in three months."

"Why three months?"

Dragon grinned. "That's when the baby is born." He pushed her away from him and disappeared. She screamed.

Raye walked around Dr. Bennett's apartment. It was tiny apartment with minimum furniture and devoid of any sentiment. The white walls had no paintings or pictures. The carpet was beige and plain. He had a large flat screen television on a television stand in the living room and a black leather sofa and love seat facing each other divided by a dull wooden coffee table. His kitchen was open to the living room and very tiny with a plain two door refrigerator, a filthy, old microwave, a built in counter with cabinets on top. He had one bathroom with a built in shower and bath with mildew and a large dirty ring around the tub. The ceramic were chipping off the tub. His bedroom was small with a queen sized bed unmade , a messy desk in the corner with a cheap rolling chair, a secondhand dresser and a walk in closet filled with suits, dress shirts hanging up neatly while the shoes were piled up on a stack in the floor. His apartment was nothing like she imagined it to be. She felt something crawling up her leg. She looked down and screamed when she saw it was a cockroach.

She had been living with him for a couple of weeks. She expected a bed. He gave her a sofa, which caused her to wake up with back pains. Her duties were to clean up the small apartment every day and not leave. She spent her days watching censored television. He spent his days locked up in his bedroom. She slipped him food under the door and he did not emerged until it was time to go to work. Most of the time, he left her by herself.

One day, he was standing in the kitchen. She said, "Your apartment is a dump."

He gave her a blank expression as he sipped his glass of milk. "Do you want to be in the dump?'

She did not respond. He gave her a tight smile. "Well, then stop complaining." He walked off locking himself in his room. He never drank alcohol. He only drank milk and water. When he was stressed, he drank juice. She thought he was crazy. He constantly worried about his weight. She could hear him on the floor doing pushups since the walls were so thin. She could hear their neighbors arguing or having sex. The neighbor to the left of them was upset that her husband lied about working late when he was caught by her friends at a reborn sex club. As far as the neighbors on the right, the guy lied to his girlfriend that he had a stayed a home job when he was really parading women in and out of his apartment as they paid him for sex. His wife constantly asked him how he made so much money, and he constantly told her that that he put his back into it. They were trying to have a baby so they had sex on a regular basis.

She strangely did not feel different being a reborn. She still felt human and had feelings. But she had no ambition and no sex drive. She did not desire for love or affection but she could display it to her master. She also had no free will. Whatever her master commanded, she did. But Dr. Bennett did not really ask anything of her besides to cook, clean, and never to leave the small apartment. She was crazed with boredom.

Darien stood in front of Serena's grave with bloodshot eyes and half- empty bottle of liquor in his hands. She would have been twenty-eight today and was dead for six months. He knelt before her grave. He collapsed on the ground and caressed the soft grass where her body was buried underneath. He laughed looking up at her headstone. "Mina and Jason are getting married next week. We could have been celebrating our wedding anniversary in a week's time. We would have made ten years."

"Karen's dead and I am a horrible father." He rolled onto his back and looked up at the sun poking out between the trees. He took another sip of the liquor. He coughed when some of the alcohol went into his nose. He laughed. "I lied to my son." He watched as the clouds slowly moved in the sky. "I told him that I love him and that I was proud of him." He folded him arm behind his head to get more comfortable. "I don't. I hate him. I thought that I would be happy to have a son, but every time I look in his eyes, I see the end of our marriage, the thing that finally broke us. I look in the girls and I see you. I miss you." He took another sip. "You were a pain in the ass while we were married, but I still love you. I never stop." He turned to her headstone looking at it like she would respond. "Can I be with you?"

He rolled onto his side. "I could leave the girls with their grandparents or maybe Ami wants a child…" As he said those words, he knew it was wrong.

He said, "You don't understand how much I miss you. My life is empty without you. None of this matters without you. I don't want to raise our children without you. Tell me that it's okay for me to be with you." He crawled on his knees to her headstone. He cried, "Speak to me, Serena. Tell me it's okay." There was no response. Darien rested his head on her gravestone.

Serena stood in front of the mirror looking at herself. She was clad in a black floor-length sequin gown. It was strapless with a square neckline adorned with black spikes. Her makeup and eye shadow were black with a black shade of lipstick on her lips. She was being dressed by Dragon's female demons. They were beautiful and sexy women and also vampires. Her hair was styled in a Boho crown braid with hair extensions since her hair was so short. She heard their moans when they placed a black diamond necklace around her neck and black diamond earrings in her pierced ears. Their eyes zoomed in on the throbbing pulse in her neck as they heard her heart pumping with their supersonic hearing. They covered her head with a black veil and placed a bouquet of black flowers in her hand.

The ceremony started. Serena marched down the aisle to a church full of demons. They rose from their seats as she marched down the aisle.

Darien was completely plastered. He groaned in pleasure as he pounded into a girl that favored Serena. He was in an underground sex club in Tokyo filled with members of the New World Regime. He was in backroom with red lights. He was with a petite reborn with long blonde hair and soulless blue eyes. She rode him as he placed his hands on hips and roughly pushed her hips up and down on him as she bounced on him in pleasure. He was ruthless with her as he did inhuman acts to her. He did not care. He needed a release. He heard rumors from friends and associates about the great sex machines the reborn were, but this one could barely keep up with him as he drilled harder inside of her until she was soaking wet. She became frightened when an evil smirk appeared on his face and his eyes turned golden.

"I'm about to come. Are you ready?" She whimpered as her body vibrated around him. He released a powerful load inside of her. She screamed as she exploded to smithereens. Darien stood up. His clothes magically appeared on him. He walked through the club using his powers to kill everyone in the club, humanoid and human alike as they ran out screaming but not making it out alive. The club exploded as he walked out.

Clad in a paired of tight jeans and a sleeveless shirt, Adam jumped out of bed as he felt a powerful presence. He grabbed his sneakers and raced out of the apartment. Raye leaped up off the sofa. She tried to race after him but a powerful force trapped her inside.

Cain dressed in a sharp gray business suit froze. He stopped mid-sentence as he addressed his board of directors in the board meeting at his company office in New York. They were all staring at him. He cleared his throat. He said, "Excuse me gentleman, there's something that I have to take care of. Robbie can take over." He abruptly stood up from his chair at the head of the table. The board members chattered amongst themselves in confusion. He quickly walked down the hallway to his office unbuttoning the buttons of his blazer. He did not speak to his secretary who tried to speak to him. He slammed the door shut. In the privacy of his office, he disappeared.

Evelyn froze as she tended to her children with her husband preparing them dinner. She whispered, "Endyimon." She kissed her husband on the cheek and said, "I gotta go." She walked into the living room. Her children watched as she vanished into thin air.

Serena stood in front of the aisle in front of the High Priest, the highest ranking priest of the Underworld. The High Priest stood in front of her dressed in a black robe with a large upside down cross in front on the front. He rang the bell in his hand and then drew a sign of the pentagram with an athame in the air as a pentagram appeared before him.

He recited, "In Nomine Dei Nostri Satanaas, Luciferi Excelsi. In the Name of our God Satan, Ruler of the Earth, True God, Almighty and Ineffable who has created man to reflect in thine own image and likeness, we invite the forces of hell to bestow their infernal power upon us. Come forth to greet us and confer dark blessing upon this child who desires to become one with Dragon."

Like a dark angel from the heavens, Dragon magically appeared out of the sky as Serena turned to watch the demons bowed down for Dragon as he descended to the ground and stood in the middle of the aisle walking towards her. He no longer looked like Rick Thornton. He was in his true form. He was six foot six with soulless black marbles for eyes. His skin was red as blood and his head was bald and perfectly round with a menacing yet attractive air about him as the fire blaze throughout the room. His hands were large and his fingernails were yellow claws. There was a golden crowd on his head with adorned with twelve red rubies. He wore a black armor, black boots, and black cape. He was pure evil and powerful. She could sense his aura that was more powerful than when she fought him in the Humanoid War. Her body responded to him as if she was being pulled to him. She remembered he told her this was because she was carrying his child, the Anti-Messiah.

He took her hand that looked tiny in his big one. They stood before the priest. The priest bowed before him. Dragon nodded at the priest. A beautiful servant girl dress like a gypsy handed him a golden chalice. The High Priest took the golden chalice with the blood of Satan and invoked the Four Crowned Princes of Hell, Belial of the East, Beelzebub of the North, Astaroth of the West and Jeth of the South.

"We come together in the Name of our Father and Lord Satan to join King Dragon and Princess Alexandra together in marriage." Serena stared at him. He was taking her name away from her. She was no longer Serenity.

He took his athame and drew a circle around Dragon and Alexandra. A blue light surrounded them representing the powers of hell.

Time stood still as the priest recited the words bonding them together in marriage and blessing their union in lust and pleasure. The high priest blessed her then placed a golden crown on top of her head with twelve red rubies. They were married now and she was carrying the devil's child. She was carrying the enemy's child. The man was responsible for the death of her loved ones and then threatened to kill more if she did not marry him. He threatened to harm her child.

She took comfort in knowing that her friends and family were safe and her children were happy with their new mother Karen.

Dragon lifted up her veil. He pricked his finger with one of his sharp teeth. He used his finger to smear his blood on her lips forever tainting her. He kissed her lips and she felt herself withered away. She grew a few inches taller to a height of five foot eight. Her brown hair turned black as night and grew longer until it reached the small of her back. Her green eyes turned into dark marbles like his. Her tiny breasts grew big and fuller. His hips wider and her butt grew bigger and firmer. Her stomach was flat and tone. She now belonged to him. They held hands as they turned in union to the crowd, who cheered them and yelled, "All Hail, Alexandra, queen of the Underworld." She felt like anything but smiling. She felt dead inside.

Darien appeared in Rick Thornton's office at the government's headquarters office in Tokyo. Dr. Thornton looked up from his desk wearing a white lab coat over his white dress shirt, black tie, and black stacks. His eyes widen when he saw Darien with a malice look on his face. Darien had seen a news report on the television that Dr. Thornton was back at the headquarters for Quadrant Three.

Rick grew nervous when he saw Darien strolling towards him. Darien grinned. "Hello Rick, long time no see."

Rick grinned nervously. He did not have Dragon's powers anymore. His master was displeased with him and he took away his powers. He was back to being a mortal with a submissive wife and reborn children. He carefully reached over for the security button underneath his desk.

Darien wagged his finger. "Oh no you don't. They're already dead."

Rick's eyes grew wide. In the twenty storied building, every floor of the building was filled with dead humans, humanoids, and military officers. The rooms in the building that government used to reborn humans were destroyed. Darien no longer cared about the humans. In his mind, any human that supported or worked for the New World Regime was a part of the problem.

Adam, Cain, and Evelyn appeared in front of the Tokyo Headquarters building. Adam remained quiet as he glanced at the building that he worked at with his co-workers. Evelyn and Cain glanced at him since it's been a while since they saw him. They were completely horrified as they walked together through the revolving doors into the lobby and saw everyone dead.

Evelyn covered her mouth horrified as she glanced around the room at the dead bodies in the lobby and walls splattered with their blood. She slowly dropped her hand from her mouth. "He's gone mad. Everyone is dead. I sensed no life in this building besides Endyimon and Thornton." Adam stared at the bloody scene with an indecipherable expression.

Cain said, "Well, at least he is getting rid of the enemy."

Adam frowned at Cain then said, "Dragon will send someone more powerful to take Rick's place."

Rick panicked as he held up his hands in surrender as he carefully got up from his chair never taking his eyes off of Darien. Darien walked towards him amused taunting Rick. "Why Rick? Where are your powers? Only a fucked up like you would create a world like this where women are completely submissive to men, and rape is legal."

"Let me guess why you hate women so much. Your mother was a promiscuous woman who cheated on your passive aggressive father. She controlled and belittled you as a child to the point that you despised women as authority figures. You used the Bible, one of the most misogynist books ever written, to justify your actions. Girls saw you as a weirdo in school and would not give you the time of day. You became a doctor because you have a god complex and married a woman just like your mother. So you made her submissive and controlled her every action. You hate their success. You hate their accomplishments. You hate the female mind. You hate the control they have over men."

Rick asked, "Don't you?" Darien was caught off guard by his statement. He stopped moving. Rick continued, "Every man desires to be loved and accepted by woman. Look at your relationship with Serena. You gave her everything. And all you wanted in return was her love and she refused to give you that. If you had a way to make her completely submissive to your will and worship you, wouldn't you take it?"

Darien hesitated. All he ever wanted was for Serena to love him. He wanted to be accepted by her. He wanted her to worship the ground he walked on. It was what made him want to go to work every day and become the best so that he could give her everything she wanted. But did he really want to force her to love him against her will? If she was still alive, would he have made her a reborn so that she would be forced to feel the way he wanted her to feel about him.

Darien looked at Rick and answered firmly, "No." Rick looked surprised. "I loved her for who she was as a person, the good and the bad. I wanted her to love me because she chose to, not because she was forced to. Good-bye to you Rick and your misogynistic world." Darien's eyes turned golden as he held up his hand. The room grew colder as the room began to rumble around them. Rick knew it was Darien's doing.

Rick grew fearful. Darien's hand blazed golden. Rick yelled, "Wait! Let me live and I will tell you something that you really want to hear."

Darien said uninterested in Rick's feeble attempt to save his life, "Your lies bored me."

Rick said, "It's about Serena."

The sound of Serena's name on Rick's lips upset him. He lashed out sharply, "Don't you dare speak her name! It's your fault that Serena, Karen, Luna, Artemis, Diana, and the outer sailor scouts are dead! Your sheet is bloody, Rick."

Rick yelled, "I can tell you anything you want to know about the New World Regime."

Darien entertained him. "Like what?"

Rick said, "Your friends having been lying to you for months. Serena is alive. She married the devil today and she is carrying the Anti-Messiah." Rick grinned. "She is the Queen of the Underworld. It's Serena's child that brings forth the destruction of the earth."

Darien stilled in disbelief and shocked. Suddenly, three godlike figures appeared surrounding him like three angels of death disguised in civilian clothing. Like a moving clock spinning around the room with him at the center, his glanced around the room. At twelve o'clock, a petrified Rick stood with his back flat against the wall behind his desk and his arms held up like he was under arrest.

At three o'clock, there was a beautiful full figured woman with flawless ebony hair and blue eyes like his. She was dressed casually in an unbuttoned thin black summer sweater. She wore a loose black top and black tights that showed off the thickness of her shapely legs and black flats, which made her big foot size obvious. Her face still remained defined and beautiful like a model from the magazines. He could tell that she gained weight over the years due to childbearing or age. The hour glass body figure she once possessed was now more pear-shaped with fuller breasts, and an average waist, that was not as small as it once was. Her hips wider and bottom larger but round and shapely and covered by her long thigh length sweater.

At six o' clock, there was an attractive man with a hard but beautiful face and cold eyes like his. He was impeccably dressed in a sharp designer grey business suit. He looked powerful and wealthy and obviously the leader and eldest of the trio. Darien recognized his face. He was the CEO of some billion dollar company located in New York.

At nine o'clock, there stood a tall, scrawny guy dressed like an underpaid office worker with a white shirt, black tie and slacks. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows showing off his skinny arms. He had messy, wavy ebony locks, dark blue eyes and black squared frames on his eyes even though his eyesight looked perfectly normal. He looked the youngest of the three. They each resembled him in some form and fashion and Darien wondered if they were there to kill him for his sins today. Were they going to put him out of his misery so that he could be together with Serena once more?

After a moment of silence, Darien thought, "Screw it!" If this was his last moment on earth, he was going to take Rick straight to hell with him. There was no way in hell he believed his bull about Serena. Rick was a liar and a coward.

Cain's eyes amplified as Darien held both of his hands out in front of him. Darien yelled as a golden ray of energy blasted from his hands heading directly towards Rick.

Cain shouted out, "No, Endyimon!" Rick screamed as his body exploded and turned into dust like he never existed. Adam and Evelyn stood shocked as they glanced across the room walking towards the spot that Rick stood. Darien turned to the man behind him who looked outrageous at him.

Cain shook his head and yelled angrily at Darien, "What the hell have you done?"

Darien shouted back, "I killed the man who murdered my friends and billions of humans. That's what I did."

Cain yelled, "Every time you killed one of Dragon's minions, he sends one more powerful than the last. Rick's powers almost matched ours and now because of your stupidity, the next ones' power will rival and probably be more powerful than us. He was our link to Dragon. What we needed to defeat him."

Darien grew angry at Cain. This stranger lashed out at him like he was beneath him. "He murdered my friends. My wife is dead because of him."

Evelyn looked up. "Serena still lives but she is no longer Serena anymore." Cain and Darien ceased arguing as they turned to her.

Evelyn looked Darien directly in the eyes. "Rick was telling the truth for once. Serena has been turned evil. She is carrying the Anti-Messiah and is now Queen of the Underworld."

Adam spoke. "The events have changed." They all looked at him. "It's not Mother Earth that will destroy this world and us also, it's Serena now. Dragon knew this when he took away her powers. He changed the events of time. The Earth will still be destroyed on October 22nd. I am sure of it." His glasses had slipped a little down his nose. He pushed his eyeglasses back up the bridge of his nose with his finger. He glanced at Darien. "It's the child of Serena and the devil, a creation of the ultimate good and the ultimate evil, that will destroy not only our world but will break through the gates of hell and heaven and through times and dimensions." Adam sighed at the horrified look on Darien's face. "Sorry Endyimon but that child must die before it is born in three months."

Evelyn said to Adam, "She was only pregnant for a few days."

Adam said, "The devil's children grow rapidly during pregnancy." Darien remembered Katie and how quickly Dragon tried to age her. She was two years older than she should be thanks to the devil. Darien knew he was telling the truth.

Darien asked, "And what about Serena?"

They all remained silent, frightening him more than anything. He yelled out angrily looking at Evelyn and Adam who diverted their eyes from him, "What happens to Serena?"

"She dies." Darien trembled as if he as being stabbed in the chest. He turned around to where those words came from. He turned to Cain. "No bearer of the devil's seed has ever survived childbirth. But Serena must be killed before that child is born. That child's birth means the death of everything."

Darien hyperventilated in disbelief. How could he learn that his love was still alive and now had to be killed. Darien let out a scream that caused the entire Earth to tremble.

Dragon lifted from his head and chuckled in triumph as he felt the earth rumbled above him. He could sense Endyimon's powers and Rick's death. No matter, he thought, he would send up another one of his minions with the strength ten times of any Elysian if he wanted. He had read Serena's thoughts. He knew their secrets, their weaknesses. He spoke to Mother Nature and told her of his knowledge of her plans to end the human race. She acted unaware that he wanted to rule the Earth and his release will mean her death also. Yet, she was powerless to stop him. He outranked her and his powers were second to only Uno, the god of all creation. Uno was Serena's first ancestor. The first White Moon Queen was created by Uno and was also Uno's lover. The moon children were the descendants of Uno, the ultimate goodness. Serena was the last of his heirs and only someone of Lunarian blood could opened up the gates of heaven to the realm of the Gods, where Uno resided. With their child, Dragon will not only break free from his eternal imprisonment as the Ruler of the Underworld, but he walks through the gates of heaven once more.

He looked down at Serena, now Alexandra. She moaned in pleasure as he thrust inside of her. Her body easily adjusted to his size. Her legs spread wide and her knees bent gave him better access as he pounded inside of her. Her long black fingernails stroked down his red muscular back leaving long scrape his skin causing him to growl as she watched with horrified eyes as two sharp fangs grew in his mouth like a vampire. It was rumored that he was the creator of the vampires and the werewolves. She screamed in pain as he hauled her into his arms and bit into her neck as she winced in pain. He pulled her closer to him as he drank the warm blood flowing from her neck down her shoulders and unto her breasts. She whimpered fast and then the pain turned into pleasure. Her mouth opened as his blood tainted her slowly draining the life out of her. Her memories faded away of her life as Serena, memories she asked him to take away. She could not live with herself anymore knowing that she betrayed her friends. She was now married to the ultimate evil, and she could not stand to think about Darien and her children happy with Karen, the woman who had replaced her and was loved by all her friends and family too. She even baked cakes and cookies for the children with her mother Irene.

Darien's image appeared before Serena as she glanced over Dragon's shoulders as he drank her blood. Darien was dressed as King Endyimon. She saw a memory of them holding her hands as they raced through the grounds of the Moon Kingdom as Princess Serenity and King Endyimon. There was no sound like everything was playing before her like a silent movie without words. As her memory erased, she could not remember their conversations anymore.

She saw a memory of her fighting with King Endyimon on the Earth when she snuck from the palace to visit him. She could not remember what they were fighting about but she remembered him twirling her back towards him and pulling into his embrace. Her blue eyes appeared livid as she smacked him harshly across the cheek. He turned his face and touched his cheek in shock. Her blood boiled and her breasts heaved. She expected him to be angry when he slowly turned his head back to her. She was surprised as the amused glint in his eyes. He touched her soft cheeks with his hands and leaned towards her telling her something in amused voice from the charming smile on his face. She could see Princess Serenity falling under his spell and forgiving him. He scooped the princess in his arms and carried her to bed and made love to her so good and passionately that she cried in pleasure.

She saw another image of them walking along the beach. She was dressed like a knight in dark armor and her hair was pinned up into a loose bun and her face was scrubbed clean to look more boyish. He was upset with her and roughly grabbed her arm. She could see concern in his eyes. He softly touched Serena's bruise cheek as she turned her head stubborn from him. Whatever they were arguing about ended when toddler sized versions of Prince Derrick and Princess Katherine racing towards them dressed in their swim attire. Prince Derrick was holding a small toy boat in his hand up towards them saying words she could not hear with pleading eyes and pouting lips on his cute, handsome face. Whatever Endyimon was upset with Serenity about disappeared when he watched her clothing transformed into a swimsuit. She knelt down with the children then raced off with them down the shore on the beach. Endyimon laughed even though she could not hear his voice. His eyes glint with amusement as he slowly strolled down the white sandy beach to join them.

She remembered another moment between them. They were on the moon in her bed chambers. He lied naked in her bed looking like a Greek god with white sheets only covering his arousal. She was dressed in his white tunic and sitting on a stool with an art stand and canvas in front of her. She mixed paint colors on her wooden paint palette. She glanced at his sleeping form out the corner of her eyes as she painted an almost finished painting on him lying asleep on her bed. Her eyes glanced at him again before turning back to her art board. His started to stir. His dreamy blue eyes slowly opened as yawned covering his mouth. With his messy bed hair, he propped himself up sideways on the bed smiling at her with his sexy smile. The sheets slipped off his hips making the shy princess hot and flustered. She saw the mischievous glint in his eyes. She froze as her paintbrush dropped to the floor blotching it with a splash of blue paint as he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist causing his shirt to lift a little higher. He kissed her hair as he looked at the painting with his chin on top of her messy blonde hair. He sighed in contempt. He could still smell the musk of their loving making on the princess. Their eyes grew shocked when they heard a knock on the door. The door knob slowly turned. The coward quickly disappeared along with his clothes. Serenity stood shock and outraged as she quickly grabbed a sheet off the bed to covered her naked body as a chambermaid walked in with a scream as she looked at the embarrassed princess with messy hair and unmade bed and guilty eyes standing next to a painting of a naked King Endyimon in her bed with only a sheet covering his private region. The chambermaid turned red blushing profusely. Serenity fumed glancing at the ceiling and yelled out his name in vain.

Serena remembered the night that she died on Christmas Eve ten years ago.

Princess Serenity stood on a street corner dressed in a white gown and black thigh-length trench coat. She watched as Serena lied unconscious in the car after being hit. She followed her along the white halls and fluorescent lights of the hospital as the doctors rushed her on a gurney to the operating room. She watched as a doctor performed an emergency Caesarean section and delivered her crying baby. She watched as Serena flat lined on the hospital table. Suddenly, Serena's eyes popped open. Her head turned sideways as she looked at Serenity. She said, "Help me." Serenity could not believe she saw her. She never saw her. Serenity jumped and like it never happened Serena's eyes were closed and her head was facing upwards. Her body still flat lined.

A white light shone blinding the halls and Serenity found herself walking along the hospital halls alone in an empty hospital. She could hear a baby crying. She walked towards the sound of the crying baby. She walked through the door doubles into the pediatric ward and saw Darien looking through the window with crying eyes that were red and sobbing as he touched the window. He looked distraught and lost like there was no purpose for him to be there. The thought of being in a world without Serena devastated him. He crumpled to the ground and continued to cry.

"Take over my body." Serenity turned to see Serena standing next to her staring with sad eyes at a distraught Darien.

Serenity turned back to watch Darien with cold, hard eyes. She felt nothing for him. He was not Endyimon. She hated Endyimon along with the hell he put her though and countless women he bedded. He was a drunk and sometimes was mad. He frightened other people but he did not scare her even though he was mad and insane. Endyimon was gradually taking over Darien's body. Darien was a good and faithful man while Endyimon was powerful, strong, and a wonderful lover. But he was his own worst enemy.

"No."

Serena turned towards her with spiteful eyes. "You owe me."

Serenity lashed out in an arrogant tone, "I owe you nothing."

"I have been your champion for four years and fought your battles. I avenged your kingdom. I never asked you for anything. I never asked you to be reborn in me. My life was great before I became Sailor Moon and I did it regardless. So I am telling you that you are going to take over for my body. I am no longer strong enough."

"He will know the difference. He's mortal, but not stupid. I am not a crybaby klutz like you."

"I know you are not. I don't want you to be. You helped me a lot over the last couple of years. I admire you."

Serenity turned to Serena surprised. She never knew that Serena thought of her that way. Serenity lived in a hidden place inside of Serena's psyche. When Serena needed extra strength to help her fight a battle, Serenity took over giving her what she needed to win the battle. She was happy in the realms of the gods before she was ripped from heaven and reborn into the soul of a fourteen-year-old girl who cared about nothing but boys, toys, eating and sleeping. Serena was the complete opposite of her in every way. Whatever Serena struggled at, Serenity excelled. She was raised to be the best at everything.

"He needs someone like you in his life. Not a little girl like me. I don't want my daughter to grow up motherless. You don't have to love him just watch over him. He has no one in this world." She glanced over at her daughter. "Well, there's someone now." Serena said, "You're stronger than me, Serenity. Take over. Watch over my friends and family."

Serenity said coldly, "Endyimon is taking over his body. That's why he's acting insane. I loved him but I don't want to go through the hell that I went through with him again. I was at peace, Serena and I was happy in heaven with my family and our people." Serenity's heart started to pound. She gasped. It's been so long since she heard the beat of her heart. Her eyes were wet. She touched her cheek and looked shocked. She was crying. She had not cried since the night she died a thousand years ago.

Serena smiled. "Thank you, Serenity."

Serenity gasped as Serena started to back up. She turned towards her. A white light stood behind Serena. Serena said, "Love him Serenity. Save him from himself." The crescent moon appeared on Serena's forehead. Their clothes changed. Serena was now dressed like Princess Serenity and Serenity like Serena. Serena was surprised when large white wings sprouted from her back. She laughed lightly as her eyes met Serenity. A sad smile appeared across Serena's face as she stared at her child then Darien now curled up on the floor crying. Serena blew him a kiss and said, "Good-bye my love. Please be happy and find love again." Serena disappeared as a powerful blast of white energy blinding the room causing Serenity to cover her eyes.

Serenity gasped as her eyes popped open on the hospital table baffling the doctors.

Everything faded black as Alexandra groaned in pleasure as Dragon fucked her at a ferocious pace as she clung to him like a lifeless flower as she watched the image of Endyimon standing over her husband's shoulders.

She remembered her anger for Endyimon as he watched her fucked the devil. She loved him with all her heart. Her heart refused to allow her to love another and like an idiot she always took him back. After he became the Earth King, he changed from the man he was when she first fell in love with him. She remembered the whores and the drinking. She remembered the violent fits and how every time she tried to leave him, he went insane and stalked her. He would sneak into her room and take her sometimes by force but she always ended up complying moments later. She was his obsession taking precedent over his kingdom and sometimes his children. Endyimon neglected his kingdom because of his obsession with her throwing rages and earthquakes if she rejected him.

He also sent one of his generals who grew to disdain her to fetch her from the Moon. He sent his most powerful general Kunzite to tell her to return to Earth before he destroyed it. She reluctantly complied and only her love making seemed to calm him. Endyimon could have destroyed Metacilla and Beryl before they became all powerful and destroyed his kingdom. But he neglected the cries of his generals, his mother, and his counsel because of his obsession with the Moon Princess. The citizens of Earth grew to despite Serenity and the Lunarians. They suffered because of his obsession with her. By the time that Endyimon finally came to his senses, the Earth was overtaken by the Negaverse. He sent his daughter Princess Katherine away with Prince Malcolm and his brother Prince Matthew to be raised by them before his kingdom was destroyed. His son, Prince Derrick refused to abandon their kingdom and grew to despise his father for causing the destruction of their world when he could have prevented it. Prince Derrick hoped he died on Earth just to punish his father for his father's stupidity. But somehow Prince Derrick survived because his grandmother teleported him somewhere safe that was untouched by evil.

Serenity hated herself for loving him and thought she was sick to love someone as twisted as Endyimon. She tried to break free from her need of him. She went to the nuns to ask them to cleanse her immoral soul and lived with the nuns only a day before Endyimon found her and fucked her in her room in the convent. Her eyes wet with tears as he covered her mouth to muffled her moans. She hated herself for enjoying it. She tried to find another lover and met a nice Lunarian nobleman, who asked her to marry him. He was a good man but she felt nothing when he kissed her. Her body flinched when he touched her skin as if only Endyimon could touch her like that. When news spread through the kingdom that Serenity had picked her prince, the nobleman suddenly faced an untimely death. No one suspected foul play but Serenity felt Endyimon had something to do with it. She appeared before him. He lied naked in his bed waiting for her like he knew she would come. Serenity blushed at the sight of his body that was already aroused. She bluntly asked her if he murdered her fiancé. Endyimon looked at her like she was the most adorable creature in the world when she was mad. She hated that he never took her serious. Her anger at him always excited him. If she made him too angry, he'll become so enamored with her that he would ripped off her clothes and ravished her in his bed until she told him weakly that he was forgiven. Of course, he evaded her questions with indirect answers like the skillful politician he was. It was only a matter of seconds before she found herself crawling into his bed like an obedient puppy and crying out in pleasure. He took her with anger and force like he was binding her to him all eternity and punishing her for even considering being with someone besides him. She could not move her legs for three days after he was done with her. She never loved another man.

Her death freed her from her fate with Endyimon and now, Serena had damned her to it again. He eyes turned cold and angry as she stared at the image of Endyimon standing in front of her. She rather died. She screamed as his image disappeared and her life with Endyimon and her life as Serenity or Serena faded from her memories. Her heart pulsed slowed. Her heart stopped beating and turned black. Two sharp fangs grew in her mouth. Her skin turned snow-white as she felt a dark energy consumed her body. Large black wings sprouted from her back as she hissed in pain. Dragon creamed as he erupted inside of her feeding their child with his dark power. She let out a banshee screams causing all the humanoids throughout the world to respond as all of their eyes glowed red.

Raye stood up from the sofa sensing danger as she strode over to the window. She touched the windowpane. She sensed a powerful presence around her as the earth shook shaking things in the apartment. Dr. Bennett hardly had anything of value in the apartment so he did not have to worry about anything he cared about being broken. She sensed four powerful beings in the distance from her as she watched as the Tokyo headquarters tower tumbled to the ground. She gasped as a vision appeared before her. Mother Nature was no longer going to destroy the earth. Everything was red around her as she smelt death and blood. She heard a banshee scream and gasped when she saw that it belonged to no other than Serena, only evil and more powerful.

Raye's powers returned to her as she felt her heart pounding against her chest and her powers growing stronger inside of her body. She held out her hands and laughed happily when a small fire ball formed into her hand. A red aura surrounded her body as she transformed into Sailor Mars. She detransformed back into Raye. She had no idea what was happening. She raced into the bathroom not caring that roaches were crawling on the walls. She checked her eyes and saw there was no speck of red. She was human again. She was alive. A tear of joy rolled down her cheek. She wiped it away. She was crying. She could not cry as a reborn. She raced towards the front door to leave. She opened the front door and invisible barrier prevented her from leaving. She pounded her fist against it but it was like a steel wall. She tried teleportation but it would not work. She tried transforming in Mars again and using her powers. The attack bounced off of the invisible barrier and right back at her. Mars ducked dodging her own attack as it hit the television and caused a small explosion as the TV popped and smoke started coming out. She detransformed again not understanding why she could not leave the apartment. She was also upset that her only source of entertainment was gone as she watched the six channels on the television since he was too damned cheap to get cable. A strand of her hair landed in her face. She sighed as she moved it out her face with her finger.

Alexandra screaming suddenly stopped as she opened her mouth wide and hungrily gnawed in the devil's neck drinking his blood and his power.
