Chapter 13 - Flames of Fury

"Serena are you alright?"

"Yes, I think so. You?"

"Yes."

"We better get back before the others wake up and notice we are gone."

"I do agree Serena."

Lita detransformed and they both walked back to Sara's house. When they got to Sara's house they said goodnight and went to bed. Serena slept on the couch that night. She was dreaming of her life back on the moon kingdom.

**************************************

The Dark Prince sat in his room. He had taken of some of his armor. He was still hurt from the last battle with Sailor Universe.

"How could I have been so careless? That Sailor Scout is a lot stronger than the rest of them. I could feel it. I wonder why she called me Jay? That name sounds familiar. Maybe it is connected with my past. Mother never told me how I got this star."

He pulled out what looked like a half of an eight-pointed star. It was gold with Pink on the top Blue, Red, Green, and Yellow on the tips of the side points. The Dark Prince walked out of his room and strolled around Beryl's Old Kingdom. He stopped by the throne room where his mother and this other figure were talking.

"Your Majesty if he finds out.."

"He won't find out! It took me a while to erase her out of his head. I've worked too long and to hard for him to figure out who he truly is. I will just have to try to kill her again. Queen Serenity was able to stop me before, but this time she isn't here to stop me."

Both laughed a hideous laugh. The Dark Prince ran back to his room.

"Who were they talking about? Could I have been deceived? I'm afraid that the only way is to trust my enemy. I will have to have a talk with Sailor Universe. She must know more about the past then the other Sailor Scouts. But how will I get a hold of her?"

For hours he sat in his room thinking of a plan. Until finally he had one.

**************************************

All the girls were at the dinning room table. Sara and Susan were feeling a lot better so they cooked breakfast for everyone. Alexandra was impatient to here how Susan got hurt. All was silent until she couldn't stand it any more.

"What happened last night?!"

Everybody looked at her. She looked down at her plate slightly embarrassed.

"I think an explanation is in order."

Everybody looked at Sara.

"After everybody eats breakfast we will go into the living room and Susan and I will tell you what happened."

Alexandra nodded her head. 20 min. later all nine girls plus two cats were in the living room. Susan decided to explain what happened.

"When we were walking home from the Shrine, I noticed a bright light coming from the bushes. I didn't want to make a big deal about it, because it just might have been a child with a flashlight. Well, I walked into the bushes and I saw a man dressed in black armor. He looked like he was talking to a woman. I was about to run and get you guys when he saw me. I tried to get away, but he shot this energy at me. Well, he was about to deliver the final blow when Sara took the blast. She tried fighting the man in black. But she got knocked out. I was knocked out too. That is when Sailor Pluto and Sailor Universe showed up. I was jerked awake by a big blast. Then I heard Sailor Pluto yell 'Pluto Time Warp Obstruct!' Then I blacked out. I don't know how much later it was, but I woke up on a bench. Next to me was Sara. I pushed her a little bit until she finally woke up. Then we both helped each other home. And that's when Serena called Amy's mom."

Everybody was silent. Nobody knew how to make of Susan's tale.

"Well, umm I guess everybody should go home. Everybody's parents will be worried."

Everybody looked at Serena shocked.

"I need to be alone for a while."

Everybody complied with her order. When everybody left Sara asked Serena if she was all right. She said she needed to take a walk and left. She was walking down the sidewalk when she ran into somebody.

"Sorry I didn't see you."

When she looked up she saw Darien. Hurt filled her eyes. Darien winced at the look in her eyes.

"Serena I…"

"Don't Darien."

"But Serena…"

"Darien. Don't."

Serena then ran away from him.

"Serena I'm sorry!" He yelled to the fleeing girl.

Serena just ran. She ran harder when she heard him yell. She ran all the way to the park. She stopped at a secluded part of the park. There she cried.

**************************************

Raye was at the Temple. She couldn't do her chores. She was stressed out about Serena so she sat down in front of the fire.

"Please Sacred Fire, hear my plea. Tell me how I can make amends with Serena."

The fire flared and showed a girl curled up in a ball. Her hair was wrapped up in two buns with two pigtails flowing from them. Raye recognized Serena at once. Raye ran quickly into her room and changed her clothes. She then ran all the way to the park. She looked around for a bit until she found where Serena was. Raye quietly walked up to Serena. She gently placed her hand on Serena's trembling shoulder. Serena jumped up at once. Serena's eyes widened in shock then fear.

"Serena. I'm sorry for what I did."

"You really hurt me this time Raye."

"I know."

"What made you say all those things?"

"When you didn't show up at first, I thought something had happened to you. When you did show up I was angry when you were all right and the rest of us were hurt. Everything that I used to think resurfaced, and I thought maybe that you were just playing a game or something you thought was more important than the fight. I'm really sorry Serena. I know I should have listened to your reason, but instead I believed what I wanted. Please forgive me."

Serena looked at Raye.

"I am truly sorry for all those times I let you down."

"No Serena you didn't let me or anybody down. You were being you. And that is what we, I love about you."

Serena smiled. Then the two hugged. The two were so caught up in their tender moment they didn't see Sara was watching the scene. (But as usual J) The tender moment was interrupted by a scream. Serena and Raye both transformed. They ran towards the screams. Sara also transformed. When they got to the battle site a monster that was white, had sharp knives for arms, and was trapping people in ice was attacking more people.

"Hey you Nega trash! I am the Champion of Love and Justice! And on behalf of the Moon…"

"And on behalf of the planet of fire, Mars!"

"WE WILL PUNISH YOU!"

"Ha! That will be the day when Smice is defeated by two little girls!"

Smice shot his knife like arms at the two Sailor Scouts. They dodged the first attack but Sailor Mars got slightly hit by the third one. She got up and said the most powerful words she ever knew.

"Mars Insane Fire Consume!"

She moved her arms so they made an oval shape above her head. You could barely see a small fire in her palms. She then moved her arms so they were in front of her chest and were like a Butterfly moving its' wings. A hug flame of fire flew from her flapping fingers to the monster. It melted instantly.

"Great job Sailor Mars." Serena exclaimed.

"Thanks Sailor Moon."

"Oh your fight isn't over yet!"

Prince Skull appeared in a flash of black light. Tuxedo Mask arrived also. He threw a rose right at him. But the Prince just waved it of like it was nothing.

"I'm not here for any of you. I'm just here for her!"

He pointed at a bush. Dark energy surrounded the bush. Sailor Universe was lifted out of the bush. She then disappeared.

"What have you done with Sailor Universe?!"

Tuxedo Mask was desperately trying to hold an angry Eternal Sailor Moon from charging the Prince.

"She is safe. For now, Gre! Take care of these nuance's."

"Yes Sir!"

The Prince then disappeared. The monster Gre was shooting at the Scouts and Tuxedo Mask left and right. Tuxedo Mask finally had enough. He pulled put a rose that was like a rose made out of crystal. In side the red part of the rose was this green light floating around in it. When he threw the rose it was a streak of three colors. Red, Dark Green, and Light Green. When the rose hit its target a Light Green light flowed out of it and around the monster. It was swallowed up.
