Nyx: Spence? What are you doing here?

Audrey: You know him?

Nyx: *nods* Yup.

Audrey: *whispers* He's kind of cute.

Nyx: *smiles*

Spence: Hey there Nyx. How are you?

Nyx: I'm great. Oh, Spence, this is my best friend Audrey. Audrey, this is Spence, he's one of Spike's good friends.

Audrey: *shakes his hand* Nice to meet ya.

Spence: Same here. So what were you guys just doing? How'd you break those vases?

Nyx: *looks nervously at Audrey but straightens up*

Audrey: *smiles* Well, what you saw was the vases being pulled by fish string . We do it so it looks like we did it mentally.

Spence: Oh.

Nyx: *sweatdrop on forehead* So what are you doing here Spence?

Spence: Oh, well, I was looking for Spike, but I can't seem to find him.

Audrey: Oh, he's inside the palace right now. If you'd like I'll show you where he is.

Spence: *blushes* That'd be nice, thanks, I always get lost in there.

Nyx: *smiles as the two walk off*

A cold breeze passes by and she holds onto her sweater a little bit tighter. She looks around and is surrounded by fog. She shrugs it off and walks toward the pier nearby. Once there, she sits on the edge of the dock with her legs dangling over the water. She ponders about things--mostly about Harvey and their ex-engagement. She sees how happy Serena and Darien are, despite the fact that they have fought evil longer than she has. She feels something on her arm and almost jumps up but sees that it's Belle.

Nyx: You almost gave me a fright there Belle.

Belle: I'm sorry, but I didn't want to disturb you, so I waited a bit and decided to finally come up to you.

Nyx: *smiles as Belle purrs from her petting*

Belle: *looks up at her* Why did you break off the engagement?

Nyx: *is still petting her and sighs and looks out at the water as the fog disappears* Truly, I don't know why. I guess I just don't want any harm to come to Harvey; like, what if something like yesterday happens again? I wasn't able to help myself and no one could do anything. I just don't want him to suffer as much as he would if we were married.

Belle: I can see what you're trying to say, but there really is no difference. *looks at Nyx's somewhat understanding face* He loves you, my dear, and that will never change. So, he'll still be hurt if something happens whether or not you are married, together, or just friends.

Nyx: hmm… I never thought of it that way. Thank you… Belle? *she looks around and doesn't see anything but fog, and she's no longer on the dock* What is this?

Devlin: *steps out* I figured out your weak point.

Nyx: Oh. And what is that?

Devlin: Your mind. You can't attack me here no matter how you try. The best part is that everyone thinks you're dead!!

Nyx: What are you talking about?!

Devlin grins and waves his hand in front of her. A sort of screen appears in front of her face. She can see Harvey has her in his arms and is carrying her toward the palace. Everyone is starting to gather around her. Amy is checking her pulse and shakes her head. Harvey's eyes become teary and Lani and Audrey throw themselves on her body.

Nyx: *tears form in her eyes* But I'm not dead. I'M NOT DEAD!!! *falls to the ground in tears*

Devlin: Poor, poor girl. It's too bad, you and that boy did make a good couple. *laughs evilly*

Nyx: *looks up and now the small screen surrounds the two. She holds her head in pain* Stop it you monster!! *runs to him and tries punching him and kicking him, but nothing works*

Devlin: I have studied you; you and all your friends. I know what you think, how you move, and how you feel. There's no way you can fool me! Now, I think I'll go have some fun with your little friends.

****

Everyone is gathered at the garden around Nyx. No one can truly believe that she is dead, but what could they do? She has no pulse, no heartbeat, she must be dead!

Devlin: *appears above them* Ah, what a sad sight. Good thing for you that I can take you all to where she is-- hell! Muahahaha!!

The Universe Scouts transform and so do the Sailor Scouts, along with Darien. They are then surrounded by a Ring of Fire and suddenly they are in a black pit of darkness still surrounded by the fire. The Dark Warrior (Harvey) stays by Nyx's side as the others group up in front of her.

Devlin: *steps through the fire and looks at the two* Mush! *looks at the others* Now, what make you think that you can beat me? *looks into Sailor Moon's eyes* Those same piercing eyes won't hurt me this time! *a fireball knocks her down and Tuxedo Mask catches her*

Tux: What did we ever do to you?!

Devlin: Nothing, really, I just enjoy destroying people whose hopes are as high as all of yours. It's a pity to waste so much energy for good.

SailorVirtue: *growls and claps her hands. As they come apart, lightning can be seen between the two* Burning Truth! *she raises her hands to the sky and a fury of lightning bolts comes crashing down on Devlin and a scream is heard from him* *she grins but then frowns as she sees Devlin smiling*

Devlin: I knew you would use some kind of power sooner or later. It's a good thing I came prepared, are you?

The ground begins to shake and fire begins shooting up in various places. The Sailor Senshi all scramble about to get away from the burning flames.

Sailor Moon takes a stand and takes out the Silver Crystal and the Sailor Scouts all give her their power-- Devlin is too much for them, though. Sailor Moon can barely hold on. The UniScouts (Universe Scouts) are trying to lend their power, but it is no use. Devlin succeeds in overpowering them and they are all sent flying toward the flames, but stop just before it.

The UniScouts get their strength together and go to surround Nyx, trying to revive her somehow. As everyone is around her, they all look at her teary-eyed and from each, at the same exact time, a teardrop is shed and as it lands on a part of Nyx's body, a light emits from her. Her hands open to reveal an Alexandrite stone. (The Alexandrite stone stands for the Protector and the Defender of mankind.) They all feel a power and are all lifted off the ground. Nyx goes through a strange transformation-- she is seen as a blue faerie and then spins around with a giggle. Nyx is then seen in an ever-flowing white gown (torn up on the bottom), her hair is now as long as the dress and flowing ever so softly in the wind, a crown of blue roses adorns her head and vines with white roses circle her arms (she's floating in the air as all this happens). She is now the Blue Faerie Princess.

FaerieP: *still in the air with eyes closed*

Everyone looks on in awe. The Alexandrite stone is sparkling red and green.

Devlin: Amazing performance! Now, what will a little stone like that do besides change colors? Hmm… let's find out. *sends a giant fireball bigger than the Faerie Princess which is also surrounded by black energy*

FaerieP: *eyes are still closed*

Everyone watches as the fireball disappears.

Devlin: Hmm… interesting, but not impressing. *sends another one*

FaerieP: *opens her eyes and puts her arms out*

Devlin: *watches as the fireball is sucked up by the stone*

The stone flashes red and then green in his face. The Faerie Princess just stares at him with her arms still stretched out. Devlin becomes impatient and sends a furry of different fireballs. Everyone watches as each and every single one is sucked up by the crystal.

FaerieP: You have plagued us enough. Not only do you make the ones I love go through the horror of my so-called death, but you harm them to the point where all their clothes are tattered and torn! I will no longer be as 'kind' as I was before on you!

Devlin: ooh, I'm shaking in my boots! Now, to get rid of the lot of you. *with all his might he sends a giant blast of fire at them, but this time it's not only fire, now they are surrounded by fog and can barely see anything but the light of the AlexaStone*

FaerieP: *grins as the stone glows brighter and brighter* No. Now to finish you off! *first a red flash of light then a green flash surround everyone as she yells out* STAR SOLARIS POWER!!!

Devlin screams and is then Moon dust. Everyone is now back in the garden. The birds are chirping and everyone is just staring at the back of the Faerie Princess. Her wings are seen as she turns around and smiles, but they disappear along with the dress as she falls to the floor in a huff. Harvey rushes to her side and helps her up and into the palace.

****

After some much needed sleep, Nyx comes out and talks to Harvey. She tells him that she will gladly go through with the engagement and that whatever happens, happens. Their wedding will have to wait until it is the most convenient for everyone because she knows that they will probably never have a dull moment. After that they tell the others and they throw a small celebration--for both their engagement and for their safety as they travel back home with the rest of the UniScouts to have their own adventures.

Nyx: I am grateful to you Serena and if you ever need anything, just give me a ring on the watch. We will surely be doing a lot of exploration and no matter where our journey takes us, if you need help, we will surely come running.

Serena: That would be wonderful! But we are most grateful to you for your help in destroying this threat and bringing peace to our world once again. Now then, no more talk! Let's get back to the feast!

Everyone laughs at the comment and then enjoys the party.

Who knows what will happen as the UniScout's journey has only begun and evil still runs amuck.
