"SERENA DON'T DO IT, IT'S TOO DANGEROUS YOU COULD DIE USING ITS ENERGY!" Cried Darien, Now in his armor.
"Darien. My beloved. Scouts. Have faith in me, everything will be ok. I promise"
Prince Endymion watched his love in despair as she snapped open her eyes and raised the wand above her head.
"Im going to defeat you Beryl. In the name of the moon. Your days of your endless torture is over." Said Serenity in a calm tone
"You? Pitiful little princess Serenity? Defeat me? Don't make me laugh child" Retorted the witch, growing twice her size and sending a MASSIVE dark energy beam towards the blonde.
"COSMIC MOON POWER" Cried Serenity, sending an equally large white energy beam towards Beryl. Sending all her energy into the one attack.
The scouts, everyone now awake, stood staring at the battle in awe. Darien watched with hope as he saw the white beam over powering the dark beam
"Please my love. Be careful" he pleaded
"I AM PRINCESS SERENITY. SERENA TUSKINO. SAILOR MOON. AND YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE. ON BEHALF OF THE MOON YOU ARE PUNISHED" Screamed Serenity "SILVER CRYSTAL, ACCEPT MY ENERGY. FIGHT THIS EVIL. DON'T LET HER WIN. I WILL NOT LET HER WIN." She cried to the crystal pouring the last of her energy into the crystal's beam "MOON… CRYSTAL…. POWER" with a burst of white light, making everyone shield there eyes, the negaverse queen collapsed and crumpled into dust. When everyone was able to open there eyes. To there horror, Saw Serena stagger to the ground and lay still there.
"NOOOOOOO" Scream Darien rushing over to her and cradling her into his arms
The scouts sobbed on each others shoulders, while Darien buries his head in Serena's chest weeping helplessly. Heart racking coughs came from the limp body in Darien's arms.
"D…Darien?" she wheezed
"SERENA" Darien cried, hugging her close "I thought I lost you, I was so afraid"
"I…Is…S…she…g…g…gone?" asked Serena
"Yes baby she's gone, you killed her, you got her" Sobbed Darien. Serena wrapped her arms weakly around Darien's neck, holding him close.
"Serena?" said an uncertain voice, clouded with sadness and uncertainty
Serena pulled out of the embrace slightly and looked up into the worried faces of her scouts; she smiled weakly telling them she was ok, they all breathed a sigh of relief, wiping there eyes dry. As Darien lifted himself and her, in his arms, up. They started walking back to the temple, de-transformed and tired. A loud grumble filled the air as all scouts and Darien stopped, alert and on the look out.
"T...That better not be thunder" whimpered Serena weakly Darien silenced her with a tender intermit kiss. When they broke apart she smiled up at his and snuggled deeper into his arms when they heard it again.
"What do you s'pose it is?" Asked Lita
"I have no idea but im getting bad vibes from it"
"LOOK OUT" shouted Amy. As off instinct everyone ducked to the ground and Darien shielded Serena's body with his. Everyone looked up to find a really ugly looking youma draining humans of there energy.
"No way! Serena just defeated the Queen of the negaverse! What the hell is going on" Yelled Lita
"Everyone transform" Ordered Serena
"Serena you're not fighting, you're still too weak. Im not going to risk loosing you" Said Darien gently putting her on the ground out of harms way
"He's right Serena. Stay put" Agreed Raye. Before she could protest they ran off shouting there transformation words
"MERCURY POWER"
"MARS POWER"
"JUPITER POWER"
"VENUS POWER"
In a flash of Blue, Red, Green and yellow, the scouts and tuxedo mask were running towards the youma ready to launch there attacks, leaving Serena staring after them flabbergasted.
"MERCURY BUBBLES…"
"JUPITER THUNDER…"
"MARS FIRE…"
"VENUS CRESENT BEAM…"
"…BLAST"
"…CRASH"
"…IGNITE"
"…SMASH"
The attacks joined at one and were firing its way through the air towards the youma, Along with a dozen roses from tux. The youma dodged hastily, the attacks barely missing its arm and ran towards the scouts and tuxedo mask. Tuxedo Mask jumped out of the way, as did Jupiter, Mars and Venus, However mercury stood frozen and just yelped in pain as the youma crashed into her. Serena watched as her scouts were getting battered black and blue, including the love of her life.
"I can't just sit here and do nothing. I have to help them" She muttered, getting to her feet, overwhelmed by dizziness and feel back onto the cold floor
"Come on Serena. Don't be a wimp. They need you. Get up" she scowled herself and got up again, gaining some posture and shouting out her transformation
"MOON PRISIM POWER" in a flash of pink and white, Sailor Moon stood holding her pose and starting stumbling towards the battle.
"H...Hey You" She shouted weakly at the monster, stumbling a little before regaining her posture
"WHO ARE YOU" the youma bellowed. Tuxedo Mask and the scouts stood in shock and horror watching Sailor Moon fighting to stand, them all too weak to move from the beating they received from the deadly youma.
"I…I am Sailor Moon…C…ch…champio-" she was cut off for the dizzy spell that overwhelmed her and causing her to fall off the building she was standing on and land with a thud on the concrete floor in front of the youma. Tuxedo Mask paled and stunned worried gasps were heard from the scouts, soon turning into sighs of relief as the blonde on the floor started to sit up
"Well that hurt" she bit out trying to assure the scouts and Tux that she was fine, she pulled herself to her feet, breathing heavily.
"You're...Going…Down" she wheezed, threatening the youma that burst out laughing
"Im going down? You can barely stand let alone defeat me"
Moon reached for her tiara
"MOON T...T…TIARA...MAGIC" she threw it towards the youma and cried in triumph when it howled in pain and started to turn to dust. Then paled incredibly as it hurtled a big energy ball towards sailor mercury, it was sure to kill her if she did not move, she was to weak to so sailor moon threw herself in front of it and yelping in pain is it crashed into her
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" screamed Tuxedo Mask as he saw his only love threw herself in front of the energy ball; he gained all his strength and ran towards her as she fell into his arms trembling.
All the scouts gathered around the trembling Sailor Moon, all sobbing.
"Serena..." Cried Darien. No Response. He shook her lightly "Serena?" he cried more loudly "SERENA" he screamed
"D…Darien?" whispered a hoarse voice
"Im here my love" he cradled her shivering form back and forth, weeping into her hair
"Lo…Lo…Look a…at…me" She weakly raised a hand n brushed sum tears away from his cheek
"It's going to be ok Serena, your going to be ok" Noticing a trail of blood leading from Serena's mouth
"D…Darien... tell…the…the…sc…scouts…I…im … sorry" Tears fell from her eyes and down her feverish cheeks, where Darien kissed them away one by one
"Shhh" He soothed still rocking her back and forth "Don't say your goodbyes. There's no need. You're going to be fine." He sobbed
"I….I….I…Lo…Love you" She whispered before falling limp
"NOOOOOO SERENA WAKE UP" He shook her "SERENA WAKE UP YOU'VE GOT TO WAKE UP" He shook her more violently, he felt a warm hand on his shoulder and he pulled away sharply sobbing heart braking sobs.
"Darien" Raye wept "She's gone there's nothing we can do"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" He cried, brushing a hair out of her eyes and taking her hand in his still rocking her back and forth.
"I Love you to much to loose you Serena. You can't leave me. You CANT. Its time to wake up now meatball head. Come on" He shook her lightly "WAKE UP"
"Darien!" Mina cried "She's gone Darien! She's not going to wake up" She sobbed into Lita's shoulder.
"You made me complete Serena. You made my life worth living. I love you. Don't forget me" He whispered in her ear before kissing her still warm lips lightly. Suddenly the silver crystal appeared above Serena and floated into her broach. Gasps from the scouts and Darien were silenced by the eye lids on Serena that fluttered open slowly.
"S…Serena?" Darien Sobbed
"D…Darien! Scouts!" She cried into Darien's chest, he buried his head in her hair and cried thankfully
"I thought I lost you Serena! Don't ever scare me again. I Love you so much Serena" He sobbed. She pulled away enough to look into his eyes and smile; she took her free hand and gently caressed his cheek.
"I Thought I would never see you again" She admitted quietly
Darien leaned closer to Serena and kissed her passionately while all the scouts just watched happy that there best friend was alive and well. Breaking the kiss, Serena Sat up in Darien's arms and pulled each scout down for a group hug.
"Im so glad all of you are ok." Serena Cried happily
"Thanks to you Serena, you saved my life" Cried Amy
"You saved all of ours" Cried Lita
"Girl, you saved the world!" Laughed Mina, drying her eyes and sniffing
"Great. Now that's sorted, Im starved lets go out the dinner!" Whined Serena
"My treat" Darien Grinned as he lifted Serena up spinning her around. Serena giggled as she clung on tight "Stop it!" she squealed
"Make me" Darien grinned slyly without another word Serena's lips were on his in a deep passionate kiss.
The End
