Serena’s beautiful cerulean azure blue eyes fluttered open slowly. Looking around, trying to recall in her memory what had happened. The beautiful aroma of fresh red roses filled her nose as she looked around, seeing her pink room engulfed in dozens of red and pink roses. The symbol of earth…a red rose. Then her mind reeled as she remembered what happened and tears brimmed over her already blood-shot, tear-stained eyes, streaming down her pale ashen cheeks. Serenity threw herself at her daughter, literally sobbing and in hysterics that her only daughter was alive and going to be all right. Both of the women crying, they hugged each other in hysterical sobs. As Serenity let go, she looked at her daughter, her eyes widening with wide surprise. The young, ravishing princess had fallen into a deep coma and had stayed in it for exactly a year, today was the fateful day she awoke, and the day she had first collapsed on the hard crystal floor. Her heart had broke in two, overwhelming her thoughts with terror and sorrow. The doctors could not heal her, nor could moon magic. The queen had been a nervous wreck, for the doctors wouldn’t let her see her little girl for an entire year. What made the queen gasp was how Serena had changed, instead of the radiant young girl who’s laughter filled the halls with light and hope, there was a gorgeous woman of fresh 17, long blonde hair cascading under her pajama bottom to the floor streaked with a strange silky material that shined like silver, her smile was perfect and now a dimple resided itself on each of her dawn-tinted cheek, her eyes sparkled with happiness and a wisdom of sort, as if she had experienced things no young girl should have. Serena smiled at her mother, making a hint of gold shine around her eyes and said “mother, how long have I been here? In this room? How long have I rested in my eternal sleep? And what has happened since I fell into this trance?” The queen, taking a deep breath started explaining to her daughter. “Well Serena, today is the day you fell into that fateful coma, you are a year older, today is your 17th birthday. You have been entrapped in this room for exactly a year, a servant maid had found your body lying lifelessly near the balcony where Michuru and Darien stood, she ran to tell me and I came only to find you like this. Although nothing has happened while you have been in this trance except…well I’ll let you find that out later, but right now my darling you must get ready for the ball tomorrow night, to celebrate your new womanhood and your awakening” the Queen finished and kissed her daughter’s rosy cheek lightly. Serena pleaded and begged with her mother to tell her what had happened the queen stood and departed the room silently, leaving only something shining in the ornate closet. Serena, with her curiosity getting the best of her, pulled herself out of bed and tiptoed over to the closet. Pushing it back slightly she stumbled back, onto the bed, gasping for breath at the power that exploded from her closet, a hand grabbed her and something knocked her unconscious, stifling her coming screams as the young princess was dragged into the light without a word and nothing but deafening silence remained. A beautiful turquoise haired girl ran down the hall, her ocean blue heels making strong, echoing sounds on the crystal floor. The lady of Neptune, Michuru, was panting harshly at the dream she had just been jolted from, the moon princess had been entrapped into another dimension by a mysterious hand and had been taken, never to return unless for evil's use. Somehow, Michuru sensed this premonition could come true at one point of time…..and the point was right about now. The young princess, being an excellent runner got there in no time at all, bursting into the door she saw the dimension portal about to close and jumped in….the portal locked behind her…not to be restored until balance was properly made once more. Michuru landed hard on a roughly paved floor, looking up, her azure eyes grew large as she stumbled back. A dimension guard was standing above her, his long orange hair blowing over his fierce green eyes, a sword lay sheathed at his side and he was wearing no shirt, looking harshly down at the young princess. He growled in a low threatening voice "who are you? What do you want here in the Inferno Dimension?" She looked up at him, batting her thick, black eyelashes silently thinking to herself "oh god…….flattery, the oldest trick in the book" Standing up and dusting herself off, the princess smiled at the guard, looking him directly in the eyes making him melt inside. His heart enflamed, the beautiful princess took interest in him and smiled, showing pearl white teeth and a cute dimple in her right cheek. She flirted with him for a while, asking about his job, how strong he was and what he did. Then finally she just asked "excuse me Thebos, but I was just wondering, my friend is in a little trouble in a few dimensions over and I was wondering if you could take me to her? Because I'd get lost without you and I don't have the slightest clue around this place!" The guard's eyes immediately hardened as he pointed his razor sharp blade toward the princesses neck and hissed "don't move intruder…." Michuru sighed and said "well I guess you want to do this the hard way." A flash of electric sapphire encased the princess as she yelled……………………………………….. SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL POWER! The silver waves of the sea stirred, sensing their princesses distress call, roaring like the angry gods a triton appeared in Michuru's hands, giving her the power of Neptune in her gentle grasp, the flames died down only to reveal a dangerous looking sailor scout fuku, the triton grasped firmly in her hands, an aquamarine gem stone sparkled at the mid drop of her neckline, the source of her power. An electric wave jolted around her waist leaving a turquoise colored mini skirt, barely covering her long, elegant legs. She growled at the guard and backed him against the wall with her triton, her teeth bared she hissed "now you shall tell me where Serenity is or else the power of Neptune shall flow through my blood and into your weak body" The poor guard seemed trapped and gasped out "I I I I'd rather die than betray my master" Neptune's triton dug deeper into his skin, blood trickling down his neck from the sharp point on the weapon "that can be arranged Thebos, trust me, my outer appearance contains the strength I behold within for I am the princess of Neptune now tell me do you wish to die or left safe? tis quite an easy choice in my opinion" the ravishing eyes of the princess turned savage red as she bared her freshly grown vampirism fangs. The guard screamed for help, but nothing came out, the princess dug her long fangs into his skin, rupturing the veins that controlled his speech, injecting a deadly poison into him, then taking her triton she forcefully stabbed it into his neck, making a cracking noise, he fell to the ground, black leaking from his mouth, his eyes dark and without emotion. Pulling her triton to herself, Michuru focused her energy and the fangs were gone, her perfect smile returned, unnoticed the tip of blood on her lower lip at the corner she walked into the next portal hoping to find the moon princess…She walked into a dimension portal, only to see a beautiful palace. Sensing something in the palace Michuru began down the path to the Inferno Castle, where hidden inside lay Princess Serenity, trapped and helpless. Meanwhile back at the palace, the Queen had gone into a fainting spell and had not awoken for her daughter had been kid-napped only a day from her awakening. Darien, who had recently broken up with Michuru was worried to death about Serenity and Michuru herself. Knowing perfectly well that where ever Michuru was she would be all right…but Serena was a different story, she had no idea how to control moon magic yet. Darien ran to the transport machine, transporting himself instantaneously to Uranus, where the Princess Haruka was pacing around the palace nervously, for Michuru was late for their dinner Date; knowing Michuru was late Haruka looked terrible, her platinum blonde hair run through several times by her strong yet light hands had made it stick up at odd ends, her eyes were full of worry and stress. She was jolted to hear an electric shock from the transport machine, signaling someone had arrived. She twirled around, hoping to see Michuru but only saw the prince of Earth. Haruka calmly walked over to him, catching his weary eye and sensing something was wrong she grasped him by the shoulders which were trembling. All of the other princesses had gone on a trip to Pluto to see if they could solve the time rift flowing in between two dimensions, which they didn’t know the cause of. Darien barely gasped out “Haruka! We have to find Serena and Michuru, they’ve disappeared into the strange rift of dimensions and we’re their only hope.” Haruka, upon hearing this gasped and said “but prince of earth how do we transport ourselves there?” Darien, looking at his earth sword made of pure diamond, a gift to him from his long deceased father said “I have found a way to do that, but you must hold tight to me or else we will get lost” So, Haruka took Darien’s hand as he told her to yell URANUS PRINCESS ENERGIZE! And he yelled…EARTH CRYSTAL ACTIVATE! Golden, green and blue energy surrounded the two as they drifted toward the inferno dimension. Both landing harshly on the ground realizing they were in two different places and no longer new where...they went on their ways to find their loved ones…Haruka Michuru, and Darien Serena.
