Sailor Moon is not mine, but the story is so :-p
Flames, comments, etc. are welcomed and appreciated. 
Thanx and enjoy the story.
P.S. This series is dedicated to Chris Davies and Andrea Hui, 
two of the best Sailor Moon fan-fic writers of all time-thank you 
for your continued inspiration.
P.P.S.-I just re-formated this because I found the other looked like
crap-sorry for the inconvience.

				Sailor Moon
				Scouts Honor
				Prologue

	The dreams continued to haunt her, even in her weakened state 
of mind. She could remember the fighting so clearly, her friends 
turning their backs on her in her greatest time of need. "Damn", she 
thought to herself, "when will the nightmares end?" The girl rose to 
her feet from the bed(if you could call it a bed-a bunch of blankets 
piled into a corner of the abandoned warehouse she called home),and 
went to the mirror. As she viewed herself, the memories came rushing 
back to her like lightning, back to a time and place she never wanted 
to remember, nor couldn't forget. . .

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

"MOON TIARA MAGIC"!!!

	Sailor Moon threw her tiara with all her might, but the youma 
easily dodged her attack. This is a bad one, she muttered to herself.
And ugly too. The youma had not one but two heads, enabling it to 
see almost all of the attacks that tried to hit it. With jet-black
body armor and a "nuclear energy sword" as Mercury had called it, this 
was one of the most difficult youmas the scouts ever had to face. It 
was suprisingly agile for it's size-Venus had thought because it was 
fat, it would be slow too.

	Wrong answer.

	As the youma readied itself for another attack, Sailor Moon 
chastised herself for being late to yet another fight with the 
Negaverse. In fact, if it weren't for Luna racing to Serina's house 
and biting her on the nose, she never would have woken up. Mars and 
Venus were effectively out of the fight, the youma having tied them up 
with energy draining ropes while Mercury was trying to fend off the 
Four Sisters, who were doing their best to get to Reenie. Sailor 
Jupiter and Tuxedo Mask were the last on the offensive with the youma 
when Sailor Moon had finally arrived.

	"SAILOR MOON USE YOUR TIARA!!!", Luna shouted above the 
fighting. She had and failed. Now what she thought to herself. If I 
don't get this thing soon, me and my friends are"-

	She didn't get to finish as a blinding white light flashed 
across the sky. In it's place was Rubeus, of the Dark Moon family, and 
he had his eye on Reenie.

	"Time to go home 'Rabbit'", he sneered to her. Mercury wasted 
no time in flipping into a spin kick to his face-

	-which was no longer there. In fact neither was he.

	Mercury turned around to find Rubeus grabbing Reenie by the 
wrist. "You humans are so stupid, and now the rabbit is mine!!!" He 
opened his hand, and a black ball of energy formed and hung there for a 
moment. After a smile on his lips he said "So long sailor failures!!".

	Then all went black.

	Sailor Mars was the first to awaken, noticing her bonds had 
been cut-or rather vanished. She took in her surroundings, and noticed 
the youma was gone too. As were the Four Sisters. And Rubeus.

	And Reenie.

	Jupiter and Venus were coming to as well; Mercury was up 
checking on everyone else. But it was the scream that made all their 
heads turn.

	"REENIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

	It was Tuxedo Mask, eyes to the sky, hands trembling violently 
crying out the pink-haired girl that was now gone. Sailor Moon was now 
standing next to him, tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry Darien" she said 
quietly. His face was full of rage when he turned to her.

	And slapped her across the face so hard she thought her head 
would explode.

	"Damn you Serina!!!" he screamed. He was standing over her as 
she lay on the ground crying. "You don't care about anyone but yourself
and this is what happened. Well, I hope you're satisfied now!!" He 
turned and began to walk away.

	"Darien!!!" she cried through her tears, "that's not true-I 
still love you!!!". Darien continued past the other girls, who could 
do nothing but stare in shock. At last he was gone and then the Scouts
went to help their fallen comrade.

	"Serina", Raye began. . .

	"GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" Serina screamed. "You're all the same!!! 
Just like him!!! You hate me!!!" She was standing now, with a rage that
would have easily matched Darien's. She ripped her locket off her chest
which transformed her back to Serina. She threw the locket at Raye, who 
caught it before it hit her in the head. "Here" said Serina. "You 
always wanted to be leader; now's your big chance." Serina walked away 
in disgust.

	"Serina wait" Raye started, but Mina's hand on her shoulder 
stopped her. "Let her go Raye", Mina said. "She'll be fine in the 
morning".

	"I hope your right Mina", said Luna wearily. "I hope your 
right".

	The four scouts and two cats watched their leader walk of into 
the distance, each unsure of their future. . .

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

	. . .and now here she was on her own, in an unfamiliar country,
 with no friends and no hope of a future. She turned around at the
 sound of scuffling papers in the back of the room, but found nothing 
there.

	She laid herself down to sleep once again, unaware of the black
form watching her. . .
