Destiny Series by -Angel- Author's Note: Thanx to all who have taken the time to write me! I'm sorry I've taken so long to update these stories, it's been really hectic. Also I might also add that the stone portions of this epidosde were taken from a conversation in the manga. Well, now that I've had my word, on with the story. As always, feel free to give me feedback! Episode Thirteen "The Past Visits Sailor Moon" Sailor Moon glanced around. She couldn't see a thing, but she felt a strange force around her, and she didn't like it. She felt Tuxedo Mask near her. "Tuxedo Mask? Are you there?" "Yes...but not fully..." he hesitated. Sailor Moon was confused. "What do you mean?" She felt his arms on her. But she didn't feel the normal tuxedo, she felt his bare arms. "Tuxedo Mask, what's going on? Where's your suit?" "I lost it somewhere." he said plainly, and gulped. Sailor Moon stepped back. "Are you naked?!" "No, no, I'm plain Darien, right now. But I don't know if I'll be able to transform again." he said. Sailor Moon nodded. Instantly, she felt her outfit fly off. She shrieked as she realized that she was in her normal clothers. Darien ran his hands down the soft cloth of her dress. "It happened to you, too?" he asked. "Uh-huh. Darien, I'm really scared. I can't see a thing." she said. "Don't worry, meatball-head. I'll take care of you." Darien held her. Serena let out a sob. "Darien, the scouts! They're not there anymore!" Serena called in her head for them, but couldn't hear them at all. "Oh, Darien! They're...they're gone!" she sobbed. Darien held her close. He hated hearing her sob. "It'll be okay, Serena. I'm not leaving you." he whispered. Serena tried to make out his face with her touch. She grazed her hand on his cheek. Her hand brushed through his hair. His hand came up to her face and stopped on her cheek. His finger ran across her lips. "Darien, I love you." she whispered. His hand rested on her cheek. "I love you, too." he said back, whispering. He drew her close to him and kissed her softly. "Darien...has the probe worn off?" she asked. He slowly let her go, but remained holding her hand. "Yeah. When Raye...left, it vanished inside my brain. I'm so sorry about the things I did, Serena. I never meant to harm you in any way. I'm so sorry." he said softly. Serena squeezed his hand. "Actually," she responsed, suddenly sounding shy, "I kinda liked those kisses you gave me." Darien stopped and Serena could feel him gazing at her. "You...you did?" he asked incredulously. Serena nodded. "Uh-huh." Darien froze. He had no idea she ENJOYED those kisses. All the time they had been going out, he had always felt he had to sink to her level. But maybe she was ready to rise to his. "Would you...would you kiss me like that?" Seren asked quietly, blushing at the fact that she was asking him to kiss her. But she so needed it right then. Darien pulled Serena close to him and gave her light kiss. Then he held her and kissed her fiercly. Serena kissed him back, as strong as ever. She felt a strong fire coarse through her lips and suddenly her whole world got bright. Wow, she thought. Now I know what they mean by fireworks when you kiss. Darien quickly stopped. Serena had closed her eyes and sighed. "Serena! Look!" Serena opened her eyes. The whole room was lighted! "Darien!" she gasped. "It was the kiss." he said plainly, glancing around. The room had an erie quality to it. It was completely bare except for a wooden door at the corner. "I think we better go now." he said, taking her hand. "Right." she answered. He took her to the door and slowly opened it. A gust of wind blew in Serena's face. She shivered as Darien opened the door. Before them was a long hallway. There were multiple hallways coming off that main one, which seemed to stretch forever. "I don't like this, Darien." "Me neither. We better transform." he replied. "Got it." Seren answered. She hoped her powers hadn't blow off. "Moon Prism Power!" she cried and instantly was clothed in her Sailor Scout outfit. She had her powers back! She glanced over at Darien, who had become Tuxedo Mask. She smiled, and began out the door. Tuxedo Mask followed. As the walked along the hallway, strange noises seemed to echo throughout the labrynth. "Tuxedo Mask! It's a maze! What are we going to do? This hallway could be miles!" Sailor Moon said. "Why don't we try one of these doors?" Tuxedo Mask gestured to the multiple hallways. At the end of each was a door with a symbol on it. "Okay," Sailor Moon said and began to walk towards it. But her foot caught on something and she fell flat on her face. "Ow!" she cried out. Tuxedo Mask chuckled. "My little kluzt. What am I going to do with you?" he held out his hand, but she didn't move. "Sailor Moon? Are you alright?" "Look what I've found." she whispered and held up a small jem. "It's so pretty." Tuxedo Mask glance at the stoneand held it in the palm of his hand. "That's a type of Jade stone, Sailor Moon. This is a hard jade, called jadeite. It comes in many colors, but red is most common. Like this one." He handed it back to her. "Where'd you learn that?" Sailor Moon asked as she placed the stone in her pocket. Instantly, Tuxedo Mask looked uncomfortable. "I'd rather not say..." he simply said. "C'mon, it's now or never." he said and helped her to her feet. Sailor Moon walked down the hall to the heavy door. She slowly opened it, and it creeked loudly. Sailor Moon heard a low evil laugh as she looked into the darkness. "Well, Sailor Moon, glad you came to join me. Unfortunately, we won't be needing your boyfriend right yet. So he'll just have to stay here." the voice said. Instantly a gust of wind pulled Sailor Moon inside. She screamed and the door shut. Tuxedo Mask tried to open it, but it was locked tight. He pounded on it with all his might. "Sailor Moon!" he called over and over again. "Sailor Moon, answer me! SERENA!!!" he yelled. Sailor Moon stood in a dark room. "Hello?" she stamered, frightened. A low laugh echoed in the darkness. "Well, well. Sailor Moon. We meet again." the voice said. A light focused on the individual. "Jadite!" Sailor Moon gasped. Jadite smiled. "So you remember. How nice. I see you've acquired some improvement since our last battle, Princess Serena. Even found your one true love. Pity I have to kill you now." Sailor Moon's face grew cold. "What makes you think you can kill me now? And where did you come from?" Jadite nodded and instantly encased Sailor Moon in a box of glass. "I suppose you do need an explanation. Very well. "This is the void of the Imperium of Darknness. When the Negaforce was destroyed, we were all transported here for the rest of eternity. Then, Tanya, Zoisite's sister, opened up a doorway into this world and told us Sailor Moon would be coming shortly. Surely enough, you've made it. I'm honored that you chose my room to enter. Now I have the privilege to destroy you." he said. Sailor Moon gulped. "What makes you think you can destroy me?" "I now have the power of the Imperium of Darkness. The collective power will easily destroy anyone." Jedite smiled. Instantly, Sailor Moon's glass case disappeared. "Well, nice seeing you again." Jedite said. A look of malice cam into his eyes. "I call upon the power of the Imperium of Darkness!" he called out. Instantly a ball of dark energy began to build up at his fingertips. It continued growing strong until ti surronded Jedite's hand. Sailor Moon quickly grabbed her tiara. "Moon Tiara..." she said, preparing to throw her tiara at Jedite. But she was too late. The ball of energy hit her full force! She was thrown back and cried out in pain. Jedite chuckled. "That was child's play," he said as he grabbed the collar of her dress and picked her up. "Now we get to the fun stuff." Sailor Moon cried out in fear and pain. Jedite laughed maliciously. "I'll never let you win, Jedite." Sailor Moon cried out, even as Jedite lifted her off her feet. "You'll never beat me!" she cried. Jedite lifted Sailor Moon higher. "Oh really?" he said. "I call upon the power of the Imperium of Darkness. Destroy this girl!" he shouted. Lighting shot through his arm and began to eletrocute Sailor Moon. She cried out in agony, but didn't cry for mercy. As she began to weaken, Sailor Moon's sign appeared on her forehead. I began to blind Jedite, but he didn't let go. A voice called out. "My daughter, you will be saved." Sailor Moon recognized that voice as Queen Serenity. Then, she knew what to do. She struggled and reached into her pocket. She pulled out the red stone and held it high in the air. "Jadeite, come forth!" she cried out. Tremendous power flooded through Sailor Moon. She no longer felt the torturing pain of Jedite's electricity. The red stone began to shine with light that blinded Jedite. He dropped Sailor Moon and cried out. Sailor Moon threw to red stone at him. It hit him squarely in the forehead. Red bolts of power flooded through his body as he screamed. Then, he began to melt into a puddle of white light. Sailor Moon watched in shock as he began to form back into a human shape. The stone returned to the palm of her hand and she glanced at Jedite. He was dressed in a white uniform that look like a solider's armor. He had a crown on his head, and his yellow hair was tossled. But Sailor Moon noticed his blue eyes. They were not the cold eyes of a general of the Negaverse, but clear and truthful. He looked at her and gasped. He quickly bowed. "My queen." he uttered. Sailor Moon glanced down and noticed her dress. She had become Princess Serena. She looked back at Jedite in confusion. He looked up at her with a loyalty in his eyes. "My name is Jadeite, keeper of the stone you hold in your hand. I have come to say that I am at your service and will do everything in my power to protect you." Princess Serena nodded at him and he rose. "Master Jadeite," she began, "I thank you for your loyalty. Your services will be used in the future." Jadeite's eyes glimmered as he kissed her hand. "Thank you, my queen. If you require me, hold out the stone in the palm of your hand and call out 'Jadeite, come forth.' I will not fail you." he said, with emotion clouding his voice. His body melded into the stone in the palm of her hand, and Princess Serena felt herself slowly returning to the room. She glanced down at her normal clothes. She was normal Serena. She looked up and noticed a door in the front of the room. Darien stood there, smiling. "Darien!" she ran to him and hugged him. "You'll never guess..." she began. He nodded, "I saw it all. Serena, you were wonderful!" He slowly kissed her. She smiled and kissed him back. Suddenly, the room began to grow cold. Serena shivered and closed the door. It vanished. "Darien, I love you." she said simply. "I love you more than I know how to express, my love." Darien answered. He held her hand. "But remember, this fight isn't over yet. And I have a feeling our big battle's waiting for us." Serena nodded. "You got it. Time to do it all over again." Darien smiled and released her hand. "Moon Prism Power!" she called out.
