	"I am Sailor Silver Selene, Ambasador of the 
Moon Kingdom, Representative of the Lunar Princess," 
Sailor Silver Selene shouted. "I fight for peace and 
justice, and on behalf of the Moon, you shall pay for
the terror you have caused, undoubtedly many times 
before. You shall suffer your fate at my hand!"

	Ignoring the shouts and exclamations from her
friends, and new comrades, Sailor Silver leaped into the
air, just barely dodging a whip of black electricity as
the shadow continued to laugh. Sailor Silver snarled and
narrowed her eyes as she landed, directly beneath the 
heart of the shadow creature.

	Before the monster realized where she was, she
pointed her staff straight up, closing her eyes, her 
brow crinkled in concentration and fury.

	"Golden...MoonLight...Shattering...BEAM!!!!" 
With the last, screamed word, a beam of golden moonlight
lanced from the top of her staff, where two silver 
stars, one on each side, floated away from the golden
crescent moon, allowing the golden light to form a 
large, crackling beam. The light shot straight up, 
piercing the heart of the shadow creature. The creature
let loose a howl of agony as pure golden moonlight 
seeped through its being.

	Yet, as they all watched, the shadow fought 
back, shoving a chunk of darkness down the golden beam,
trying to push it back.

	Mina's eyes were wide as they heard Serena, no
Sailor Silver Selene, she had called herself, cry out in
pain and fury as a small whip of negative energy nipped 
at her shoulder. Slowly, the blackness started to move 
down the golden beam, thrusting downwards towards the 
Moon Ambassador.

	"Come!" Darien shouted to his Generals. "We have
to help! We all have a bit of power! We can't fight it, 
but maybe we can shield her until she gathers enough 
power to destroy it!" The young men nodded, and slowly,
painfully, as a strong wind had built up and was 
fighting their every movements, they rose to their feet
and trudged head first against the wind towards Sailor 
Silver.

	Only pure determination allowed them to reach
the struggling warrior maiden as her arms screamed in
pain, her mind refusing to drop the staff as black power
bore down upon her. Still she fought it with all she had.

	Suddenly, and abruptly, she felt the burden 
lessened slightly, just enough to allow her to gasp in
precious air. She dared a glance through one cracked 
open eyelid, and saw that the prince, along with his 
four Generals, had surrounded her, facing inwards, and
that they were all glowing different colors. 

	Kunzite -orange, Zoicite -blue, Nephlite -green,
Jedite -red, Prince Darien -gold.

	Then all at once their powers merged, becoming
white. A shimmering opalescent dome surrounded them, 
providing just enough protection to allow Sailor Silver
to shove her power upwards once again, ever so slightly.

	"Serena..." Mina whispered. "No..." She had to
help! But how? She had no power, Raye was the only one
who had any magical abilites, and she could only bring
fire and place curses or remove them, no more.

	Or could they...?

	Mina had read once that if the will and the 
desire and the need were great enough, a person bearing
a pure heart could do anything. Was her heart pure 
enough? Mina didn't believe that there was such a thing
as a *totally* and completely pure heart, but there were
those who were purer than others. Was she one of them? 
Did it even matter?

	"C'mon!" She screamed furiously. "Fight it, 
Rena! You can do it!" Beside her, Lita slammed a fist
into the ground, tears of anguish running down her face
at being helpless.

	"I hate this!" Raye shouted with outrage. "Here
we are cowaring while our queen and prince battle a 
minion of the NegaForce, and we can't do a thing to 
help!"

	'*Yes...yes, you can, Sailor Ambassadors...*' A
whispy, silvery voice whispered, yet they heard it. 
Looking around as best as they could while being
flattened to the ground by the wind, they saw no one.

	'*Do you mean what you say, when you wish that 
you could fight this evil? Do you truely desire to assist
your leader in her struggle against the Nega powers?*'

	"Yes!" They all cried, even Amy.

	"With all our hearts!" Mina cried.

	'*Very well,*' the voice whispered, and chuckled
slightly. '*It is appropriate that you should use the 
word, 'heart,' Ambassador Venus,*' The voice was 
undoubtedly talking to Mina, and suddenly, a starburst
of golden orange, threaded with pink appeared before the
blonde, at eyelevel. 
	The light flashed once, and there, floating, was a
short rod, from wrist to elbow. It was a bright orange, 
with a golden heart atop it, ringed with two chains of pink
quartz hearts, crossing each other diagonally.

	Out of the corner of her eye, Mina saw four
similar flashes.

	Raye gasped as a red rod, with a flame carved
out of a ruby and burning with an inner orange light 
appeared before her. The flame was surrouned by 
swirling, dancing fire orange scarves, containing the
ruby flame.

	Lita's face lit up with anticipation as the
minature lightning storm before her face faded to reveal
a forest green stick, with a transparent, hollow glass 
sphere atop it. Within it, at the center, was a 
floating, perfectly round emerald gem that had electric
green and blue lighting dancing from it to the edges of
the inside of the glass.

	Amy's jaw dropped as the tiny snow storm in 
front of her melted away for her to see a baby blue 
wand. A large, glistening waterdroplet made from a 
large, sparkling blue sapphire was atop it. Chains of
ice blue and silver snowflakes danced around it in
swirling cyclones.

	All together, they reached out and gripped
their wands. With startling clarity, they all suddenly
knew what to do.

	Mina gripped her Love Light Power Rod and cried
out,

	"Golden Love Light Power: TRANSFORM!"

	Hesitantly closing her slender hand around the
handle of the wand, Amy opened her mouth and yelled, 

	"Sapphire Snowstorm Power: TRANSFORM!"

	"Ruby Flame Power: TRANSFORM!" Raye wasted no 
time in snatching her power rod, and screaming out her
words of power.

	Lita, a grin of anticipation of a good fight
on her face, her eyes flashing sinisterly, forced 
herself to her knees as she grabbed her power rod,
screaming out with all her might.

	"Emerald Lightning Power: TRANSFORM!"

	The shadow creature was momentarily distracted
by the spectactrical light show as swirling snowstorms,
whiping and thrashing lightning bolts, dancing, fiery 
flames, and golden light litered with stars and hearts
surrounded four girls. This distraction allowed Sailor
Silver to shove her power up another notch, though the
price was another wrench in her arms.

	When the lights flashed one last time, then
faded, even the Generals couldn't help but glance over,
and what they saw nearly made them drop the shield 
completely.

	Four goddesses stood in a row, oblivious to
the shrieking winds around them. Silken hair whipped 
around slender, agile bodies, and with a cry, the one
farthest to the General's right, the one clad in gold
and pink, lunged foward. With a cry, the others 
followed. All five of them charged forward, dodging black
lightning and whiping tenticles.

	They leaped into the air and dived through the
shield, landing within the circle of Generals, around 
Sailor Silver. It was evident how she was struggling, 
and the girls wasted no time in surrounding her, facing
inward, and joining hands. Closing their eyes, again 
they somehow knew perfectly well what to say.

	"Sapphire!" Amy cried, and she, clad in a
ice blue and pale ice violet fuku, began glowing a 
watery blue.

	"Emerald!" Lita roared, and she, too,
began glowing, the forest green light showing through 
her elecrtric blue and green uniform.

	"Ruby!" Raye's voice was filled with 
determination as her body flared with red light, 
illuminating her figure shrouded in dark, nearly black
red and vibrant orange.

	"Golden!" Mina's voice was gentle, yet
loud and fierce at the same time, radiating the power of
the human heart as she burst with a golden orange light,
her golden skirts and pink chest and lower back bows 
fluttering wildly in the intense wind that had suddenly
form around her and the girls with the completion of the
circle of power.

	In the center of the circle, fighting off the
blackness, Serena heard her the cries of her friends,
and her heart wept with joy. Somehow, she had 
subconsciously known it was them, that they were her
comrades, as always, the Sailor Ambassadors. So with a
tearful cry, she managed to shout out her own power.

	"Silver Star!" With the hissed out cry of power,
she burst out with silver light, the same silver light 
that had consumed her so many times before, only now, 
*she* was in control!

	The multi-colored lights blurred and mixed, 
becoming a white hot. 

	"GET AWAY!" Mina screamed to the Generals, and
they were forced to comply and break off the shield and
stumble away as the light and heat became unbearable.

	"SAILOR! GUARDIAN! LIGHT: ATTACK!"

	With that final, simultanious cry, a thick, 
pusling beam of pure white light shot up from the center
of the circle, growing larger as it gained ground. An 
agonized cry was heard, then the darkness above them 
was shattered.


*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*


	A painful, throbbing, pouding headache was what
Serena awoke to, as well as a tiny, wet and rouch 
surface running vigirously up and down her face.

	"Quit it, Luna," Serena mumbled. The tongue
continued. Serena reached up an arm and swiped the cat
away, ignoring the yowls that followed.

	"AAAAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!" Serena cried
bloody murder as she felt four sharp, stabbing pains on
each shoulder. She sat straight up, snatching the
clawing feline away from her, and gripping her slightly
bleeding shoulders.

	It was then that she finally noticed where she
was. Gasping, her eyes wide, she looked around to see
herself surrounded with the bodies of her comrades, and
the General's, and her prince.

	*MY prince?* She thought absently, and forced
herself to shove the thought aside as she crawled
painfully to Darien's side.

	"Darien," Serena gripped his shoulder and shook
him gently. "Darien, are you alright? C'mon, prince, 
wake up!" Slowly, his eyes blinked open, and he groaned,
raising a hand to his forehead, where a very colorful 
easter egg seemed to have grown.

	"Oh, man," The raven haired young man muttered.
Serena breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you okay?" She 
asked as he slowly sat up.

	"Yes, I'm fine, thanks," Then he glimpsed her 
attire and raised an eyebrow. Noticing the heightened
feature, Serena looked down at herself and giggled. The
skirt *was* rather short, and the v neckline wasn't very
modest. Nor was the tightly fitted, thin bodice.

	"Well, I couldn't very well fight in a long 
skirt and corset," She laughed. "But I agree; it is 
rather revealing, isn't it?"

	"Understatement," The prince muttered, still
looking away. Serena laughed again, then stroked the
locket at her chest, that bore her seal (moons over 
star), and in a whirlwind of silver and gold glitter, it
was simply Serenity sitting there.

	"That better?" She asked with a grin. Darien
smiled and nodded. Suddenly, without warning, Serena
found herself in a completely different position.

	"Wha-" She gasped as she realized that the 
prince had grabbed her and pulled her into his arms,
folding her firmly into his embrace. Her head was 
resting against his chest, hands on his shoulders. Both
of them risen up on their knees, they fit together like
pieces of a puzzle.

	"Don't you ever scare me like that again, 
princess," He murmured into her ear, before burying his
face in her neck, stroking her back. Serena had no 
choice but to let herself relax in his hold. And again
the cheetah and butterflies came to her heart and pit
of her stomach, her pulse accelerating rapidly, a flush
coming to her cheeks as she realized just how much she 
liked being in his arms.

	After a moment, ignoring her heart's protests,
Serena pulled out of his arms slightly.

	"Highness, we should wake the others and get 
back to the palace," she whispered, looking at his chin
and not trusting herself to look at his face. If she did
that, she might look at his eyes, and if she looked at 
his eyes she was sure to drown in their blueness, and if
she lost herself in his eyes...

	"I suppose so," he whispered his agreement.

	Reluctantly, they pulled apart, and set to the 
task of waking the Guardian Generals, and the Sailor
Ambassadors.

	A few moments later, a second light show was
seen, and when it cleared, Amy, Lita, Raye, and Lita
stood there. A few seconds of silence, then the girls
all rushed at each other with cries of joy and
excitement, meeting in a large group hug.

	"Oh, I can't believe this!"

	"We have magical powers!"

	"This is soooo awesom!"

	"Those high heels are ridiculous, but I like the
convienence of the rest of the outfit." They all laughed
at the matter of fact tone of Raye's statement.

	Looking on in amusemtent at the chatteing girls,
the Generals retrieved the horses that were still 
tied to the trees, as some of them had broken loose of
their ties and run off. Most likely they were back at 
the palace.

	Still bouncing with excitement -and Serena smug,
knowing she still had a few surprises for them, namely
a talking cat- the girls mounted the horses, Amy, Mina,
and Serena riding with Zoicite, Kunzite, and Darien.

	On the way back, under insistent proding, with
Luna's discreet permission from her lap, Serena spilled
the story of how she had gotten her powers, and a
a very sketchy picture of what Luna had shown her
-leaving out the fact that this 'Luna'  was the cat in
her lap.

	"You know, we're going to have to find a privet
place to start training with our new powers," Lita
said abesently, stiffling a yawn as she and the others
unsaddled their horses and put them in their stalls.

	"Don't worry; we have just the place," Nephlite
gave her a smile as they all walked wearily out the
stable, the slight edges of dawn peeking up over the
horizon.

	They bid their awkward goodbyes, and the girls
quickly and silently slipped away into the gardens, 
heading for their own balconies.

	Oblivious to them, the Generals watched after
them as they left, looking at them with expressions akin
to awe and...affection.

	"Who would have thought?" Jedite cocked his
head. They all smiled.

	Darien's eyes twinkled with hope. "Looks like
we may have a chance against the Nega Force after all."

	
To Be Continued...

	So sorry this took so long to get out, minna! I
was super sick for the past week, then my mother dragged
my whole family out to go Computer shopping. I should be
getting a laptop soon, so our frequent family road trips
and such won't get in the way of my fic writing as 
much.

	Big thanks to everyone who has stuck with the
story so far. To the 'Fellow Writer' who wrote me;
THANK YOU!!!!! I really appreciate that comment about
Serena's character. =)

	Anyhoo, as you saw above, I have a new location
for the Moon Kingdom Royal Library, which is now the
Moon Kingdom Palace. Under HEAVY construction, so not
much up yet.

	Until next time, minna-chans! I love you all!!!
