NOTE TO ALL READING THIS: This is based on the American version of Sailor Moon, not the Japanese version (sorry). It takes sometime in the middle of Sailor Moon R, otherwise, it takes place near the end of the American Sailor Moon series.
It appears that Serena & Darien learn that Rini is their daughter and in fact that they are King & Queen of Crystal Tokyo.
(Insert theme music here)
CHAPTER 1
Rubeus paced around in deep thought. How was he going to get rid of those pesky Sailor Scouts and capture all the crystal points?
"You disappoint me, Rubeus." A voice came from nowhere.
"Who is that?" Rubeus asked up into the air.
"Black wand, punish!" A black wand came out of thin air and began to emit dark thunderbolts. "I cant have anyone, whether its from the future or the present disturb my plans."
"What!" Rubeus said as he raised his hands. But Rubeus could do nothing about it.A thunderbolt hit him, and he was dragged into the wand.
Rubeus let out a scream of anguish. Soon, Rubeus was no more.
"And now, for the Wise Man..."The man flashed his cape as he disappeared.
"Ugh!" Lita grunted as she spiked the ball over the net. The ball hit the floor and the referee blew the whistle. Lita's & Mina's team scored another point.
"Yay Lita! Go!" Serena shouted from the stands as she stuffed her face full of popcorn.
"I never knew Lita and Mina were so good at volleyball!" Amy said to Serena.
"Yeah, I know." Rei agreed.
"Nor did I, but they make it look so easy!" Serena said.
For once, Darien was silent. He just watched Rini jump up and down at every point scored by Lita and Mina. Darien sure did act weird around Rini. Once again, the ref. blew the whistle. Their team got another point.The score was now 14-8.
"Game point!" Serena squealed with excitement.
Mina served the ball and it was returned over the net. Lita set up the ball as she yelled "Set!" Another team member spiked the ball, but alas, it was out.
"It's OK! Get the serve back!" Serena continued to shout from the stands as she stuffed her face with more popcorn. Darien decided to help himself to some also, but was still in deep thought about Rini.
"You can do it Lita!" Rini also shouted.
"Go Mina!" Rei shouted.
The other team served the ball right into the net. Now, it was Lita's serve.
"Go Lita!" Serena, Amy, Rei, and Rini shouted at once.
Lita served the ball, and the other team watched as it hit the ground.
"Ace!" The girls screamed with excitement as the rest of the crowd cheered. The ref. blew the whistle, signaling that the game was over.
Lita's and Mina's team won, three games to one.
The girls ran from the stands to talk with Lita and Mina. The were sitting on the bench, drinking water and wiping their faces with towels.
"Congratulations!" Amy said to the two.
"You guys are great!" Rei also commented. "You never told me you played volleyball during the summer."
"Well, this is the first time we've been on the same team." Mina explained.
Serena noticed that Darien wasn't around. She turned her head back into the stands, and saw him sitting there, alone.
"Now, we're going to be in the championship." Lita was excited. "The championship is Wednesday."
"No matter, we're sure to be here." Amy said.
"That's right!" Rini said.
"You guys go ahead, I need to talk to Darien." Serena said as she walked back over to the stands. Lita, Mina, Amy, Rei, and Rini walked outside.
"Darien, what's wrong?" She said as she sat next to him.
"I...It's....Well..." Darien stuttered. It was obvious that he needed to tell her something.
"Oh come on and spit it out, you can tell me." Serena said.
"I can't handle it anymore." Darien sputtered out. Ever since he found out that Rini was his daughter with Serena, he lost hit. "Protector of Earth, Prince Darien, future king of Crystal Tokyo, Rini, Tuxedo Mask, battling the Negaforce, it's all so overwhelming."
"Darien, what are you saying?" Serena looked confused.
"I think I want out." Darien put it simply.
"What?!!!??!??!!!?????!?!" Serena went nuts. "I know we've been fighting, but...but..." Serena stammered. "Don't you love Rini?"
"Yeah, but I can't be her father!" Darien sputtered.
"You can't mean that!" Serena stomped her foot.
"But of course he does!" A voice came.
"Who...who...Who is that?" Serena asked.
A figure appeared. He was draped in dark clothing. "Hello Sailor Moon, I figured I might as well introduce myself."
"How...how do you know I'm Sailor Moon?" Serena asked.
"I know everything. I come from the heart of the Negaforce. I am the Negaforce! I know the past, present, and future! I, am, Thydite!" He shouted, showing the dark wand.
"Great, another one of Rubeus's goons." Darien said.
"On the contrary, Rubeus is gone. I made him into anti-matter." Thydite said.
"And I shall do the same to you! Moon Crystal Power!" Serena shouted. Serena turned into Sailor Moon. Darien held out a rose, and turned into Tuxedo Mask.
"On behalf of the moon.." Sailor Moon began her speech.
"I am not here to fight, I came here to grant Darien's wish." Thydite grinned evilly.
"You don't know anything!" Tuxedo Mask threw a rose at him, but a dark ray zapped the rose.
"Black wand, corrupt!" Thydite shouted as he pointed the wand at Tuxedo Mask. Another dark ray hit him and Tuxedo Mask let out a howl of pain.
"Tuxedo Mask!" Sailor Moon shouted as she cowered over him. He was still shouting in pain.
"Darien, welcome back to the dark side!" Thydite said as he pointed toward him, and Tuxedo Mask flew toward him. "Darien, bite her! Bite Sailor Moon!" Thydite commanded. Tuxedo Mask threw off his mask, and showed his teeth. His teeth were different. He had fangs.
"Eeeek!" Sailor Moon screamed as she ran away from Tuxedo Mask.
"Jupiter Thundercrash Zap!!" Sailor Jupiter said, coming from the locker room. The ball hit Thydite.
"What a spoil sport! Come Darien! Your wish is granted, you are no longer Prince nor Tuxedo Mask, or anything else! You're just my pet! Come Darien, the Negaforce waits us!" Thydite grabbed hold of Darien and disappeared.
"Not again! We've lost Darien!" Jupiter shouted.
Amy, Rei, and Mina ran back into the gym. "Serena, Rini's disappeared!"
"What?" Serena asked.
"I don't get it. We were waiting for you, and we were staring right at her, and 'poof'! She disappeared!" Amy explained.
"No! Thydite changed the future!" Serena shouted as she began to cry.
CHAPTER 2
Serena just couldn't concentrate. Darien had gotten his wish, he was no longer anything. All that he is now is a servant of Thydite. Every time she thought about Darien, all he could think of was "I want out."
How could he do that? Serena kept asking herself as she cried herself to sleep.
Luna and Artemis, however, were busy talking away.
"Why would Darien do such a thing?" Artemis asked Luna.
"I don't know, but without Darien, there is no soldier to represent Earth now." Luna said to Artemis.
"But then, that means..." Artemis gave a frightful look to Luna.
"Unless the spirit of Earth chooses another, then Earth is doomed!" Luna stared at Artemis. Both looked quite worried.
The next morning, Serena got up and decided to go for a walk in the park, since she still couldn't get Darien off her mind. Luna followed her, as usual. Nothing seemed quite out of the ordinary, except for a boy, sitting on a bench. He had long straight blonde hair, which was covered by a baseball cap.
There were sunglasses on top of the brim. He was about 17, and he was reading a book, quite a think book. Serena seemed to take little notice. She sat under a tree, talking to Luna.
"Luna, why did Darien want to stop? Doesn't he love me?" Serena asked the cat.
"I'm sure Darien is just going through a confusing time. He just found out that he is destined to have your daughter, along with being a king of a major city." Luna tried to comfort her.
"But Rini's gone! Thydite changed time! What's going to happen now?"
Serena asked as she buried her arms in herself and began to cry softly.
"Now, now princess." Luna began. "I'm sure everything is going to work out in the end." Luna said as she began to rub herself around her.
The boy couldn't help but notice Serena cry under the tree. He went to go talk to her.
"Hey, is everything all right?" he asked.
"Yeah, everything's fine." Serena said as she lifted up her head. She stared right into his blue eyes.
"Well, what's your name?" he asked her.
"It's Serena." She said as she began to stop crying.
"My name's Andy." He said as he stuck out his hand.
Serena shook Andy's hand, remembering Andrew from the arcade. Another dead pawn in the Negaforce battle. "How could Rubeus go so low?" Serena thought as Andy pulled her up. "Come on, you definitely need cheering up."
"No, seriously, I'm OK." Serena said with a sniffle.
"Not in my book. Any girl crying is a sign for me to make them happy."
He said as he pulled her. Luna followed. He took her to the arcade, and got lots of quarters. "Do you know how to play video games?" Andy asked Serena.
Serena laughed quite hard. "I am the champion at video games!"
"Yeah right!" Andy said as they went over to the Sailor V video game.
He paid for her also, giving her a handful of quarters.
The battle was intense. The two pumped in quarter after quarter until the whole roll was gone. Luna silently watched on top.
"No way!" Andy said as the two left the arcade. "No one ever has beaten me before!"
Serena laughed again as she head the last quarter. "Hey, you made it tough!" She said as they walk down the sidewalk.
Andy saw an ice-cream vendor not too far. "Hey, what's your favorite flavor of ice cream?"
"Chocolate-chip cookie dough!" Serena said as he pulled her toward the vendor and bought them some ice cream. They went back to the park and sat on a bench, that is, until a stray dog began to chase Luna around. Serena went to follow, dropping her bag.
"Hey Serena!" Andy followed after those two. Finally, Serena grabbed Luna, and Andy finally caught up to the two. "Serena!" Andy said, out of breath. "You dropped your purse!" Andy handed over the purse.
"Thanks." Serena said as she opened it. The crystal was glowing and reacting. Serena stared at it, as it levitated itself from the bag. Serena and Luna gasped, as Andy stared at it.
"Serena, what's going on?" Andy asked. The crystal shot out a ray and it hit Andy. Andy fell over, in pain.
"Quick! Better get him to a hospital!" Luna ordered Serena.
"Serena...." He said.
"Sssh! We'll get help right away." Serena said.
"But...The Negaforce is coming!" Andy said.
"What!?!" Serena jumped from the bed.
"The Imperial Silver Crystal told me everything. About the Moon Kingdom, Sailor Moon, the Sailor Scouts, Darien, Luna, The Negaforce..."Andy told her. "But enough! We must get out of here!" Andy jumped up.
Serena was speechless. She had no idea what was going on. "Wait Andy!" She said as they were about to leave. "But how?"
"The crystal talked to me. It said something about being a guardian..." Andy wasn't quite sure about this himself.
Serena, Andy, and Luna began to run back to the temple. They ran into an alley and heard a roar. The three turned around.
"I am Leo from the Negaforce, I am here to destroy you!" The lion roared.
"It's time for Sailor Moon!" Luna said to Serena. Since Andy knew the big secret, there would be no harm done.
"Moon Crystal Power!" She said, and turned into Sailor Moon. "In the name of the moon, I shall right wrongs and triumph over evil! And that means you!" Sailor Moon said.
"Yeah right!" Leo said as he let out a fireball. Sailor Moon screamed, she thought she was toast, but a rose disintegrated the fireball. Sailor Moon turned around, and there was Andy, dressed as Tuxedo Mask!
"I am Tuxedo Mask!" Andy shouted.
CHAPTER 3
Sailor Moon turned and looked at Andy/Tuxedo Mask. "What? How can that be? I thought Darien could only be Tuxedo Mask!"
"Sailor Moon, watch out!" Andy jumped and picked up Sailor Moon, just in time to avoid another fireball shot by Leo. "You Negaforce creep! Who do you think you are?"
"Shoot! It's too late! The Earth has found him! Thydite!" Leo shouted. Thydite appeared.
"Rats! Well, never mind that!" Thydite shouted. "My black wand will take care of this one as well!" Thydite held the wand out and pointed it at Tuxedo Mask.
"Venus Love Chain Encircle!" Sailor Venus shouted at the other end of the alleyway. The circle whipped him as he dropped his wand and encircled him. Thydite picked back up his wand.
"Leo! Come! We must leave now!" Thydite echoed down the hallway as he disappeared.
Tuxedo Mask jumped and hit Leo with his cane, preventing him from leaving. "Now Sailor Moon!
"Right!" Sailor Moon shouted. Sailor Moon took out the moon sceptre.
"Moon Sceptre Elimination!" And Leo was moon-dusted. "Ha! Rather Easy!" She giggled.
Venus ran over to Tuxedo Mask. "Tuxedo Mask! Are you OK?" Mina asked him.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Tuxedo Mask said.
"Um..... Mina this isn't Darien!" Serena said to her. Andy pulled off his mask and showed Mina. Mina let out a scream.
"It's OK, Mina. Don't scream!" Andy tried to comfort her.
"Mina, this new lad seems to be the new protector of the earth." Luna began to tell the story.
"My, what....A day you've had!" Mina said to him. "I bet you weren't expecting to become the protector of the earth in a whole day!"
"But...I don't get it. What about Darien?" Serena asked.
"Prince Darien is no more, remember?" Luna said to Serena. "Darien has given up the right to be protector and prince of Earth. Someone is needed to take that place, and it appears that the Moon Crystal has chosen Andy."
"So...What you're saying is that...Andy is now Prince Andy?" Mina asked Luna.
"Yes...I guess he is!" Luna exclaimed.
Everyone turned and stared at Andy. Andy just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"Andy, are you willing to accept the role of protector of the Earth, and become Prince Andy, sworn protector of Princess Serena of the Moon, and become Tuxedo Mask anytime when Sailor Moon needs help, and become Prince Andy anytime Princess Serena is around?" Luna interrogated Andy.
"Yes." Andy replied to her.
"I'm entrusting her in your care. You better fulfill that deal!" Luna scolded him.
"Come back to the temple Andy, we better tell the rest of the scouts." Mina said, pulling his arm.
"Speaking of which, how did you know we were here, Mina?" Serena asked Lita.
"Well, I heard that lion from a block away. I forgot my volleyball back at the gym, and I needed it to practice with Lita." Mina told them.
Back at the temple; Rei, Amy, Lita, and Artemis were full of questions for Andy. They couldn't believe that Andy was now the protector of the earth.
"You're now Tuxedo Mask?" Amy asked Andy.
"It appears that way." Andy replied.
"Does that make you Prince Andy?" Lita asked.
Andy nodded his head.
"And you know about everything? The Negaforce, Queen Beryl, the Imperial Silver Crystal, the Moon Kingdom?" Artemis asked.
"Yeah, Serena's crystal told me everything." Andy told them.
"And Darien?" Rei lifted one eyebrow.
"Yes, I know about Darien too." Andy humored Rei.
"You should have seen how he saved the day, and how he prevented the lion from leaving!" Mina said as she told the story again for the third time.
"Well, there's only one thing left then." Rei said with a smirk and stared into Lita's eyes.
"Yes." Lita said as Amy giggled.
Serena & Mina knew what they were talking about. "You guys!" Serena said with a childish giggle. Mina looked upset.
"Are you going to tell me, or do you expect divine inspiration to help?" Andy asked sarcastically.
"Come on, show." Rei giggled as Lita and Amy burst out laughing.
"Show what?" Andy has no clue.
"Yeah, transform into Tuxedo Mask!" Lita giggled.
"Anything to please an audience." Andy grinned as he pulled out a rose. The girls, Luna, and Artemis watched as the teenager Andy turned into the super-hero Tuxedo Mask. The girls were silent, and Andy just grinned.
"Happy now?" Andy laughed.
"We all agree that you're Tuxedo Mask, but Prince Andy? I don't think so!" Rei said with a smirk.
Andy flashed his cape over himself and there was Prince Andy, standing in a knight's armor.
"By the stars..." Artemis trailed off.
Mina gasped. She had never seen someone so beautiful before. She read about people like him in her romance novels. His long blond hair waved in the wind as it barely touched his neck. Andy flashed his cape over himself one more time, and there was baseball-cap with sunglasses Andy.
"There, have I satisfied all of you now?" Andy grinned.
All the girls applauded except Serena. Seeing Andy wearing Darien's costumes like that was overwhelming. She didn't move, just left her mouth open.
"Well, I better get home now." Andy said to them. "If you need me, well, just shout. I'll be at my dorm." Andy walked out the door of the temple.
"Who needs Darien when you got Andy?" Mina feel over giggling.
"No kidding. He's so funny! And cute too!" Lita agreed.
"I hate to spoil a party, but it is getting late." Amy told them. "I better get home myself."
And so, the Sailor Scouts adjourned for the evening, they each had quite an interesting day.
CHAPTER 4
Darien flew into Serena's window. His tuxedo was ripped, and he had no cape. Darien let out a howl and showed his fangs. The howl woke Serena up.
"Darien! Is that you?" Serena turned over and stared into Darien's face. Darien growled. He stuck his teeth into Serena's neck and bit down.
"Aaaaaaiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee!" Serena screamed in pain. Darien growled once more and flew out the window. Serena's parents came running in.
"Serena, is everything all right?" Serena's Mom asked.
"Yeah, everything's fine." Serena turned over.
"All right, well don't wake your mother and I up again!" Serena's Dad said as he closed the door. Luna, however, stayed in the room.
"Serena, are you sure you're OK?" Luna said as she pounced on the bed. Serena didn't answer. "Serena, wake up!" Luna ordered. But still, Serena wouldn't wake. Luna took her paw and began to push her. "Serena, get up!" Luna ordered a second time. That's when Luna saw the teeth marks on her neck. Two holes were there, dripping a lot of blood. Luna wasted no time in communicating to Artemis through the communicator.
"Artemis! Come quickly!" Luna screeched into the communicator.
"Luna...What's wrong now?" Artemis said as he turned over, barely looking into the communicator.
"There's something wrong with Serena! Darien bit her! You better..." Luna trailed off as Artemis let off a meow of anger. There, in the window, stood Darien.
"Mina! Wake up!" Artemis shouted at Mina. She turned over and fell out of bed.
"Oh Artemis, now..." Mina let the sentence trail off as she screamed at the sight of Darien, standing over her. Mina punched him, and picked up her glass of water. Mina broke the glass over Darien's head as she escaped through the window. Artemis followed her. "Mina, you better warn the other scouts! I'll go to Amy's house, you warn Lita and Rei! Darien's hungry tonight!" Artemis shouted at her as he ran toward Amy's house.
"Venus Star Power!" Mina shouted as she turned into Sailor Venus. "Just in case Darien catches up to quickly, I'll be ready for him!"
Artemis climbed through Amy's window. "Amy! Amy!" Artemis hollered. "Come quickly! Darien's threatening everyone!" Amy quickly jumped up from the bed. "I'll be there! Mercury Star Power!" Amy shouted.
"And Darien chasing everyone! Sailor Venus told Rei the story.
"Mars Star Power!" Rei shouted, morphing into Sailor Mars. He seems to be hungry for Sailor Scout meat!" Artemis told Lita.
"Jupiter Star Power!" Lita held out her star wand.
The four Sailors Scouts, Luna, and Artemis all meet together a couple of blocks before Serena's house.
"Serena's already been bit!" Luna informed them.
Mercury stared into the sky. "I think she's not going to be the only one!" Darien flew in front of them and roared.
"Darien, please. Don't make us do this!" Jupiter pleaded with him.
Darien just roared and pounced on Mars.
"Darien, don't be jealous! You and Serena were meant to be together!" Mars turned and twisted as he tried to get out of his hold.
"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!" Mercury let a ice storm rip as it blasted Darien off Sailor Mars.
"Don't disturb him!" Thydite shouted. "If he doesn't eat, he'll die!" Thydite laughed demonically.
This time, Darien pounced on Sailor Venus.
"Get off me Darien!" Venus slapped him across the face.
Suddenly, zooming through the air, a rose hit Darien in the back. He got up and turned around. There, he saw Tuxedo Mask! Darien stopped growling and stared at him.
"Come, come Darien. Relax." Andy's voice soothed Darien.
"No, Darien! Bite the Sailor Scouts" Thydite commanded.
"Don't listen to him, Darien. I'll protect you." Andy went over to Darien."Don't be confused, it's me, Tuxedo Mask, your alter-ego."
Darien let out a whimper-laugh. The scouts laughed also.
"Darien! You need to live! Bite the Sailor Scouts!" Thydite shouted. Darien growled at the sound of his voice.
"Darien's fine now. Seeing, well, me as Tuxedo Mask brought him to some sense. However, he's badly corrupted." Andy said to the scouts. "If he isn't healed soon, then he might die."
"You can't heal him!" Thydite said, revealing himself. The scouts gasped. My black wand is powerful! It is the antithesis to the Moon Sceptre! Not even Moon Healing Activation can help Darien! Don't think about destroying me either. I have all the power of the Negaforce, since I am the Negaforce!"Thydite laughed demonically and disappeared.
"We need to heal Darien and destroy Thydite!" Tuxedo Mask stammered in rage.
"But how?" Sailor Venus asked.
"Well, upon communicating with the crystal, I found out about many secrets. Including power crystals." Tuxedo Mask said to the scouts as they arrived at Serena's house. The sun was starting to peak.
They sneaked into the house and woke Serena up. Darien whimpered at the sight of Serena. Serena laughed as she saw Darien walking around on all fours like some dog. 'He deserves it.' Serena thought to herself silently. "The way he's been treating me."
"Anyway." Andy began to tell the story. "In the Moon Kingdom, Queen Serenity not only had the Imperial Silver Crystal, but she also had mystic planetary power crystals. These crystals; Moon, Venus, Mercury, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter were used by the guardians and Queen Serenity herself. These crystals enabled the protectors to be at their highest potential. However, upon the arrival of Beryl, these crystals were sent away by Queen Serenity, with the protectors, Darien, and Serena." Andy finished the story. "It just so happens that the Imperial Silver Crystal told me the location of these crystals."
"Why, that's great!" Mina shrieked with excitement.
"The Mars Power Crystal is right here, in Serena's basement." Andy told them. And so, Serena, Amy, Rei, Lita, Mina, Andy, what's left of Darien, Luna and Artemis began to scavenge around in Serena's basement, looking for the Jupiter Power Crystal.
Darien sniffed behind a box and began to bark. Andy went over to him "Hey, what did ya find, Darien?" Andy pulled the boxes away, and there sat the Jupiter Power Crystal. "Lita, we found your crystal." Andy handed the crystal to Lita.
"Hey! Today's Wednesday!" Mina exclaimed. Everyone looked at her. "Today's the volleyball championship! Lita!"
"Yeah, we got to go." Lita told them.
"Darien & I will try to find the remaining crystals." Andy told them. "Meanwhile, you go to the tournament match."
One Crystal Down, five to go.
CHAPTER 5
As the opponents changed in the locker room, Thydite appeared. The girls screamed.
"Hey! Get out!" One girl shrieked.
"What silly mortals!" Thydite showed his black wand. "Black Wand, Punish!"As he absorbed the whole team into his wand. "Now, for some fun! Black Wand, Pursuit!" And a new volleyball team appeared.
"Thydite, we shall defeat them!" The team captain said.
"I'm sure you will, but just in case...Black Wand, Corrupt!" Thydite corrupted the game ball. "In case you don't, this volleyball is set to explode and destroy everything in the gym, Including yourselves. If you do win, then put the ball in Sailor Jupiter's gym bag. She's already got one ofthe Power Crystals I need, making her more tough in battle. I am going to hunt down the other crystals before that silly boy gets them." Thydite flashed his cape and disappeared.
"Yuck!" Andy said as he held his nose. Darien and Andy were digging in a trash dumpsite. "The Venus Crystal should be right here." Andy and Darien dug some more. "Got it!" Andy shouted as he held up the Venus Power Crystal. "That's two!" Darien barked in excitement. Darien now had lots of facial hair, and hair began to grow out of his clothing. "Now, the next should be in a Truck Company. Come on Darien!" The two ran down the alleyway.
"Uuurgghh!" Mina bumped up a spike. Lita set up the ball as Mina spiked it.However, the other team blocked the ball and it fell to the ground. "Darn!"Lita grunted. It was now game point in the final game for the other team. "Mina, we need to get this!" Lita said to her.
"Right" Mina took her ready position. The other team served the ball hard, and it was an ace. The other team had won, but instead of cheering, the other team merely went back to the locker room. The crowd however went nuts. Some happy, some sad.
"Now, Darien, the Mercury Crystal should be in the back of that truck...There!" Andy pointed at that truck.
"You mean, this Mercury Power Crystal!" Thydite showed himself and a light blue crystal.
"You give that back!" Andy ordered. "I am willing to die to get that crystal!" Darien barked in agreement.
Thydite revealed the black wand. "Now, time to meet your friend, Darien's fate! Black Wand, Corrupt!" A ray shot at Andy, but Darien jumped in front of it and it hit him. Darien let out another yelp of pain, and he returned to normal. "No!" Thydite shouted.
"Darien! Quick! Get up!" Andy pulled Darien to his feet. Black thunderbolts began to emit from the wand as Thydite began to get angry. "In that truck! Quickly!" Andy opened the door to the truck and both gotinside.
"Ugh..." Darien held his head in his hands. "Thanks...You saved me."
"What are you talking about? You saved me from becoming like you!" Andy told him.
"Come out of here Now!" Thydite searched the lot for the two.
Then, Andy noticed that the keys were in the ignition. "Jackpot!" Andy grinned as he started up the truck.
Darien gulped. "Hey... Have you ever drove a big rig before?"
"Hey, have you?" Andy joked as he shifted the truck into first gear. "Hold on!" Andy warned Darien as he drove it out of the lot.
"Get back here!" Thydite shouted as he flew after the truck.
"Aren't you two the co-captains of this team?" The captain of the other team said.
"Yeah..." Mina and Lita said, quite upset over their loss.
"Here's a momento volleyball for the occasion. It isn't everyday a team gets to the championship." The girl said.
"Oh, came to rub it in!" Lita accused her.
"No, just take the ball!" The girl ordered.
"Why?" Mina raised one eyebrow.
"Now!" The girl yelled as she threw it at Lita.
Lita took a good look at the ball. "Hey, this bomb is ticking!"
"It's a bomb!" Mina shrieked. "You! Get out of here now!" she ordered the girl, but she had already left!
"Jupiter Star Power!"
"Venus Star Power!"
"Quick! Blow it up!" Venus ordered Jupiter.
"Lets try out this crystal! Jupiter Power Crystal!" Jupiter held out her crystal, and the crystal absorbed the volleyball. "Wow, did you see the power of that crystal!" Jupiter told Venus.
"Yeah, it makes me wonder why Thydite hasn't gone after them yet!" Venus said as this thought sank into their minds.
"Give me that crystal!" The girl came back in and shot a volleyball net from her hand. It entwined Jupiter and Venus.
"Look out!" Darien pointed out the window as Thydite was about to blast them. Andy turned the wheel and the truck went right into him. Thydite fell to the ground and dropped the crystal. Andy stopped the truck and got out, went over to Thydite and picked up the Mercury Power Crystal. "Three in our favor, three to go!" Andy said as he got back into the truck.
"I don't die that easily! Give up those crystals now!" Thydite appeared out the window again.
"Ha!" Darien and Andy said.
"Black Wand, Corrupt!" Thydite pointed to the truck. A black ray engulfed the truck. The truck started up on it's own. "Last chance, otherwise you both die, in which I get the crystals anyway!" Thydite said to them.
"Never!" Andy shouted.
"Fine!" Thydite said as he watched the truck accelerate.
"Can't you stop this thing?" Darien asked Andy. Andy pounded on the brakes and turned the wheel, but all the truck would do is accelerate...Forty, fifty. Andy shifted gears, but still no luck. Sixty, seventy. The doors wouldn't open! Andy and Darien stared into each other as the truck headed straight into a building. They both shouted in horror as the truck went burrowing through the gym, and hit the girl. Smoke was everywhere! Glass broken, rocks everywhere. At last, the truck stopped. Andy and Darien climbed through the window.
"Are we late?" Andy jumped from the truck.
"What an entrance!" Venus sighed as Darien took out his pocketknife and cut the net in which Venus and Jupiter were tied.
"Spikette! Get over here!" Thydite said to the girl and she flew over.
Serena, Rei, and Amy went through the opening in the gym. "Hey, what's going on in here?" Serena asked as she gasped and saw Thydite.
"You know, if all the exciting stuff happens in here, I'm going to stop waiting outside!" Rei stammered. She hated being left out of things.
"Enough fooling around! Give me the crystals!" Thydite ordered.
"Never!" Andy said.
"Andy! Turn into Tuxedo Mask!" Venus said.
Andy hesitated. Sure, he did it in front of wolf-Darien, but how would he react now? "Venus! Catch!" He said as he threw her crystal to her. "Amy! Batter's up!" And threw her crystal to her.
"Moon Crystal Power!"
"Mars Star Power!"
"Mercury Star Power!"
Everyone waited for Andy. "Andy, it's OK. You can change into Tuxedo Mask." Darien put his arm on Andy's shoulder. Andy pulled out a rose...
"Battle time!" Thydite pulled out his wand.
CHAPTER 6
"You're mine! Give me those crystals and no one gets hurt!" Thydite ordered.
"My foot you'll get them!" Sailor Mars said .
"Spike!" Shouted Spikette as she let loose a volleyball as it hit Sailor Venus. She fell over.
Thydite grabbed hold of Sailor Venus. "Venus, you will give your crystal now!" He stared evilly into his eyes. Venus took out her crystal.
"No!" Tuxedo Mask shouted and threw his cane at him. Thydite lost his grip and let her go. Tuxedo Mask jumped and picked up Sailor Venus.
"Thanks Andy!" Venus grinned happily. "It feels so right!" She thought to herself as she hugged him harder.
"Mars Celestial Fire Surround!" Mars shouted as she blasted Thydite away.
"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!" Mercury shot the ice storm at Spikette. She staggered back.
Darien went behind Spikette and gave her a Karate chop to the head. "Now, Sailor Moon!"
"Right!" She said as she took out the moon sceptre and pointed it at Spikette. "Moon Sceptre Elimination!" Sailor Moon moon-dusted Spikette.
"What! How can Spikette be so weak as to fall to the Moon Sceptre?" Thydite asked himself. He pointed the wand Sailor Moon's way. "Dark wand..."
"Mercury Power Crystal!"
"Venus Power Crystal!"
"Jupiter Power Crystal!"
The three pointed their crystals at Thydite. It blasted him back, but he was still alive. "What power..." Thydite got up. "See you later!" Thydite swished his cape and he was gone.
"Well done!" Tuxedo Mask jumped down from the ledge.
Darien walked over to Serena. "You did good, Serena."
Serena punched him across the face. Darien staggered a bit. "How dare you?First, you fight with me, then you say you don't love me, then you don't want to be my protector any more! Thanks to you, Rini's now gone! I'm glad Andy's here, at least he protects over me!" Serena walked over to Andy and embraced him.
"But Serena..." Darien tried to explain.
"Shut up!" Serena shouted at him. She was taking charge. "I don't want toever see you again!" She turned away from him.
"Serena..." Darien pleaded. He walked over to her
"Now!" Serena shouted. Darien didn't, so she punched him again.
Darien staggered a bit more. "Fine! If that's the way you want it, I'm glad I don't have this responsibility anymore! What a chore it was!" Darien walked through the opening in the gym. He turned his head to look at her one more time, and walked out.
"How are we going to fix this?" Andy said, staring at the truck.
"I've got an idea!" Venus said, also jumping from the ledge. "Venus Power Crystal!" She held the opening at the mess. The truck dissolved and soon, the wall was repaired.
"Wow! Great thinking Mina!" Andy complimented her. Mina giggled.
"Yeah, excellent work Mina!" Serena also said.
"Serena..." Lita said, letting the sentence drop off.
"Hey, I'm over Darien. He's such a jerk." Serena said quite bravely.
"But...What about Rini?" Rei asked.
"That little spore? Ha! What a relief to get her off my hands!"
