A Change Of Destiny Ch.3 By: Ria TiMia637@aol.com Rated PG Disclaimer* Sailormoon does not belong to me. (My disclaimer just keeps getting shorter and shorter.=]) I’m sooo sorry for the delay. I apologize to all the people who actually read my writing. Also, if you are one of the unfortunate people who did not recieve an answer to an e-mail you have a double apology. I don’t want to sound like I am just making up excuses but my summer has been just hectic. So sorry again and I hope I made for my lack of stories this week. ********************************************************** Before the scouts could react, three figures had already surrounded them. But that wasn't the amazing part, the amazing part was that they were also sailor scouts. The one in the purple spoke first. "Are you the inner scouts?" Rei, pissed off at being surrounded answered angrily, "What the hell are you talking about." "Uranus hold your temper!" the Sailor Saturn warned her blond haired companion. "This is Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, and I am Sailor Saturn. We have been sent by the Princess to find all of you." "When did you see Serenity?" Darien asked frantically. Suspicious Uranus asked, "Who are you to ask about the Princess? I don't remember there being a male scout." "Please we must know if you have seen Serenity," Mina implored. "We will answer only if you prove to us you are the scouts we seek," Neptune replied. Not caring if the three were fakes anymore the scouts and Tuxedo Mask transformed. "So you are the scouts and also Cape Boy. This is turning out to be a productive day." "Shut up Uranus. And since you have held up your part of the bargain we will fulfill ours," Neptune replied. "It was in a dream that the Princess came to us. Have you not located her whereabouts yet?" Saturn asked. "You do not know?" Lita put in sadly. "What don't we know?" Uranus getting impatient. "Serenity died during the fight against Beryl. She won but at the cost of her own life," Darien shedding tears at the mention of his love. "No, we were too late," Uranus cried angrily. Wanting to punch something. "That can't be, I still feel her," Saturn crying out. "How can you sense her when the flames have shown me nothing?" "The princess and I share a bond since she was the one that has awaken me." Amy absorbing everything finally came out of her silence. "Why weren’t you awaken with the rest of the outers?" "I am the Messiah of Death. I bring the destruction of the universe and must only be awakened when this universe has no other hope of winning against evil. But before she woke me up she told me that my powers to bring the eternal silence cannot be used so I can awake and help the others. Plus, the Princess never believed the whole thing of me not being able to control my powers. It was her faith in me to help all of you that has led me here." "Help against what?" "Do you mean to tell us that you have not had the dream?" Uranus asked. "Well why else will we be asking? Can’t you just tell us the dream since none of us has had it?" Rei asked trying not to explode. "Patience Mars. The dream just has the Princess telling us that you five will need help against the upcoming battle and we should expect another that will make us successful," Neptune explained. "When did you get this dream?" Artemis asked. "About a week ago." "How can this be? Serenity has been dead for a month now," Mina getting desperate. "She is not dead!" Saturn getting angry now. "If she is not dead why won't she tell me where she is!" Darien yelled and ran from the group. "What's his problem?" asked a stunned Uranus. "How much do you guys remember of the Silver Millennium?" Rei asked sadly. "We have recovered most of our memories," Saturn answered quizzically. "That was Endymoin," replied Rei while finding some place to sit. She felt like a truck had just ran her over. "Oh, that would explain everything. It's sad that the prince and the princess seem to always get separated when they find each other," Neptune shaking her head sympathetically. "I think we need to take a break. We'll just have another meeting at seven," Rei announced, emotionally tired. Darien ran until he reached the park he often visited, especially when he needed to think. He sat down at the bench overlooking the lake in the park, his favorite bench. He couldn't understand why Serena would not want them to know she was alive. He had felt from the beginning that she was still alive but he had pushed it away, thinking it was just wishful thinking on his part. But then Sailor Saturn had confirmed his conclusions. She was alive. It hurt to think that she would leave him in the dark about her whereabouts especially since she knew what he felt for her. 'Maybe she doesn't want us to get hurt or maybe she is being held captive,' thinking to himself. 'I'll find you Meatball Head no matter what it takes or how long.' In an apartment room near the park a portal opened and a girl stepped out. Her silver hair flowed freely down to her ankles. A lily on each side of her head held her hair in place. Silver eyes surveyed her new home and a tear slipped down her face. 'I wish I could tell them I am alive. Remember why you are doing this, no matter what you can't let them know.' After finding something to eat Selene (Serena) went over her plan. 'I'll enroll in school tomorrow but tonight I should find Luna. I hope she can keep quiet.' "Rhea I need to talk to you," calling out. Seconds later another portal opens and the guardian of time walks out. "What's up Sele?" "Do you know where Luna will be tonight?" "Umm, there's a slight problem Sele. The time gate closed on me." "What!" "I contacted the rest of the guardians and they are also in the same predicament. Looks like the future is so unstable everywhere that all the gates have closed." "What am I going to do? I need Luna," getting nervous. "If it makes you feel better I can help. Since the gates have closed I don't need to guard it. I am yours to command my liege," giving her a deep bow. "Stop, (giggle) that, this is important." "In my opinion, everyone should be at Rei's." "What makes you so sure?" "That's easy, they are all confused over the sudden appearance of the outers and the dream you gave them." "Do you think that was wise? It might give them more hope that I am alive." "Whether it is right or not you needed to give the outers that dream or they would never have sought out the other scouts." "I guess you are right but I don't like them all together thinking I am alive. They'll pursue the truth and I am afraid that they will find me. Not only that Saturn has that link with my life force. She'll confirm Darien's feeling that I am alive and she might be able to help the other scouts find me," Serena was getting real nervous again. "Those factors couldn't be dealt with, you know that. All we can do now is go with the plan and wish for the best." "I guess you are right. We should look for Luna." "I think we should wait until the scout meeting is over. Then we can abduct her without anyone noticing her disappearance." Rhea looked back at Serena when she didn't respond. "What are you thinking about. You have that look on your face which makes me nervous." "I have an idea that will provide us with information from the inside." "Duh, we have Luna." "Yeah but she'll be with the inners most of the time we need someone with the outers," smiling broadly at her. "Oh no, I don't want to do it Sele," whining. "Yes you will. Plus you are Sailor Pluto, your place is with the outers. This way you won't have any direct connection with me and you'll be able to tell me the situation with Saturn." Sighing with defeat she agreed. "When should I make my presence known?" "Today at the scout meeting. You can lure Luna here by convincing her that you have something important to show her that no one else can know about." "Fine. Where will you be?" "I'll be at the meeting. You have to lie to them why another presence is felt everytime there is a meeting." "And what am I suppose to say miss know-it-all?" "I don't know. Say that you have a ghost following you, I don't care. You are suppose to help me here so stop asking me what to do." "Fine I'll tell them Casper is following me." Exasperated at her friend Serena started to push her out the door. "We're going now and you better make sure they believe you." ********************************************************** End Notes* Totally confused now? Well so am I and I still have to figure out where this story will reach its point. I hope the plot is becoming more clear and if it isn’t be nice, this is really the first time for me.
