Title: Truly Happy By: Cheska-chan E-Mail address: Minnashime@aol.com Web site address: http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/ake Chapter 14 PG 13 Author's notes: I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing so don't sue me! I'm only a petiful, poor teenager that doesn't get allowance at all! I'm so poor..like in the previous chapter..I have coins! So...if you sue me, it better be affordable for me. Like...$1.00 at the most.. yes..one dollar. Of course I'll probably end up having to borrow my mom for the money. Now then Sailor Moon and Gundam Wing are rightfully owned by their own creators. If I owned any of them.. I would be somewhere else..not in school or living in an apartment with my parents! @_@ That's nonsense! I'd be a genius to think up such shows! @_@ So...I do own Merodi not Sailor Moon, I do own Kouhei, (Par), Seij, Drew Terlo, and Eli, and Kamikaze! Also I own Master (the bad guy) and Sarya(that other cloaked figure) That's all I own, so please don't take them without permission! ;_; Now then..I think that's it and oh yeah thanks to Pepsi! ^_^ Now then on with show! ^^ You know what that () and * * are right? Right..so like yeah.. Yeah..here I am whining about needing a "voluntary" proof-reader all I can offer is getting to read the new chapters before time and giving me suggestions to add in before I ask for it from the readers..and putting up with my well..I don't really nag but I do whine a bit...I can't pay you, gomen nasai. ********************** Monday: *So much has happened over the weekend...so many..* Serena thought as she sat on her desk, early for class again. She was deep in thought and looked at her desk, glumly. "Hey Serena! What's wrong? Serena?"asked Molly as she walked in the classroom. "Huh?..oh hey Moll. Nothing much...."sighed Serena, staring at her desk. "You're hiding something from me! I know you are! How could you! You can hardly keep a secret from me! Now then! What's wrong?"asked Molly as she sat next to her, being concerned. "*sigh*..I'll tell you later. Class is about to start,"sighed Serena as she noticed the time. "But..." *BRING* *BRING* "All right people! Sit in your seats! I have new students in my class today. They should be here soon. For now, I want you to sit quietly,"announced Ms. Haruna. Then as she said this, 4 cute (aren't they cute? ^_^) guys walked in. Namely, Heero, Trowa, Duo, and Quatra. They were dressed in the school uniforms and looked great in them. (Duo and Heero look great in anything...^_^)(Gomen nasai..just had to say that*ahem*) "All right. These are the new students in this class. They are Heero Yuy, Trowa Barton, Duo Maxwell,and Quatra Rebarba Winters. I hope you all can get along with each other now then. We're going to need 2 or three volunteers to show them around. I'll let them decide,"announced Ms. Haruna. Serena noticed but didn't really pay attention her mind was somewhere else. *So much has happened. Drew's in the hospital....I put him in a more dangerous level than what he already has! Cancer and a coma?!!? It's crazy!..It's too much!* thought Serena. Heero and them noticed that Serena wasn't raising her hands along with the other girls. They seemed to have caught every girl in the room's attention except for Serena. They already met. She helped them and she would show them around, from what they have noticed. So Heero walked up her. (For once he's doing something like that! *faints*) Eyes were on him as he walked up, to choose. "If you don't feel up to showing us around, that's okay, but...you did say you would,"reminded Heero as he kneeled down to face her. Guys in the class that had crushes on Serena were now envious of him as well as the rest of the class. The girls however had stars in their eyes and others were jealous. Amy who happened to be there was looking at Serena, noticing that she was really sad. *What's wrong with Serena?* thought Amy. "Hai, I remember. I won't be that good of a host, but I'll show you guys around,"answered Serena. "Okay then..."replied Heero and walked back to the group. Next Quatra went and got Amy, who blushed and accepted. "Okay then..I believe that's all that we need. Now then, you guys may sit. There are some seats available to you around in the class. Although...it's not together,"stated Ms. Haruna. The 4 gundam wing pilots nodded and walked off seperatly into their own seats. Then Ms. Haruna continued on, teaching Algebra to them. ********************************* As the bell rang for lunch, Serena and Amy met up with the 4 boys. They went and showed them all around the school. It didn't take long to show them around, considering that nothing was amusing at all to them. Then they stopped at the music room. "Now here's the music room. Some can have this for an extra curricular class and it's available to anyone at lunch time. Not many people go in here though. Since they spend it in lunch. It's usually full, lot's of people enjoy music and the arts,"informed Amy. "I noticed....the computer said that this class was full for all 6 classes,"nodded Trowa. Serena looked around and noticed a flute on a desk. She walked over to it and picked it up. She closed her eyes and rmembered when she played for them. It was peaceful and soft that day, not like yesterday. Her grip on the flute tightened in rememberance. Quatra noticed and his eyes softened. "Do you know how to play the flute, Serena?"asked Quatra walking over to her. "A little bit. How about you?"asked Serena. "...oh..a little bit, as well,"replied Quatra, picking up another flute that was on a desk as well. Serena cleaned the flute and then held it in it's position. Then she played a soothing melody, it wasn't happy though. She played of grief and sorrow, playing what came to her mind, the song helped her express what she was feeling. It helped soothe her mind and body as she played. She concentrated only on what she was thinking about and on her flute, nothing else. Quatra and the others listened as she played the music, from the sound of the song they could feel her pain as she played. Amy felt sad by what came to her mind, she now realised that she shouldn't have left. Then she could stick by and find out what happened and maybe even prevent what happened. The others that listened didn't react that much, some understood and just kept their cool. As the song ended she cleaned the flute and put it back. Then Quatra played as well, playing a classical song. It started of soft and then harsher. It was pleasing to the ear and they listened quietly and intently. Serena's eyes closed and felt the melody, becoming one with the song. When the song ended she opened her eyes and looked more relaxed, but her eyes stayed the same. "You know...one thing that I like about being able to play an instrument is?..It helps you drown out the sorrow and pain in your heart,"Serena said softly, looking down at the ground. "True...but living that way without doing anything about it isn't a good way to help you move on,"answered Heero. "I know...it helps ease the pain, but doing nothing can make you feel worse,"nodded Serena. "Well then..we should get something to eat,"answered Amy and led the way to the eating grounds. Serena ate slowly that day, taking her time. She didn't even finish her food! The bell rang and they went their own seperate ways to their classes. As Serena entered her class, she noticed that it was Heero and Trowa! They were in her English class! They sat silently next to each other, not saying a word. She noticed that the girls in her class were staring at them with stars in their eyes. She smiled and then walked up to them. "Hey, you two! I didn't know you were in my English class!"smiled Serena, even though she faked it. "Guess so..."answered Trowa. "*sigh*..so how is it so far?"asked Serena, disappointed that they're still distant with her. "Okay..I suppose..don't know about Heero though,"answered Trowa. "It's okay..."said Heero. *BONG**BONG**BONG**BONG**BONG**BONG* "..well there goes the bell. I should get back to my seat,"waved Serena as she walked off to the other side of the room. When the teacher, Mr. Shiu, came in he walked up to his desk and looked around the room. He then spotted the two new students. He looked at them, looking to see if they were trouble makers I suppose. Then he smiled. He picked up a piece of paper, looked at it and then set it back down on the desk. "Well then. I guess we have two new students. Students, I would like you all to meet, Heero Yuy and Trowa Barton. They are new students here in Crossroads. Please stand up, Heero, Trowa. *they stood up*"announced Mr. Shiu. The students smiled and lightly clapped as the teacher introduced them. Then they stopped when Heero and Trowa sat back down. The class went by quickly and everyone, including Serena paid close attention. Most of the class looked at her, wondering why she changed all of a sudden in the past week. From a ditzy, clumsy teenager who doesn't pay attention in any classes, who is constantly late, doesn't stay awake in class, and eats in class to someone who is on schedule, awake in classes, early for class, and is very disciplined. I mean right now there she is intently listening to her teacher's words as if they are really meaningful and valuable in life! @_@ She's not even dozing off or eating at all! They were shocked when the first time she was here that she was paying attention in class! Their jaws dropped and hanged wide when she answered a question given to her correctly! After class, she silently picked up her books and left the classroom. Heero and Trowa followed her. "Serena,"said Trowa when she approached her. "Yes?"asked Serena as she turned to face the two boys. "Well the others and I talked about this. Do you know where we can get a laptop to use? We're not familiar with the city and it would be easier for us, to try and find a way out of this place,"said Trowa. "...hmm..well the others and I could help you with that. I'll get Amy to show you guys around, so you're familiar with the place. Plus she knows a lot about computers. She'll be perfect for the job,"answered Serena, lightly smiling. "Arigatou. Tell her to meet us at the entrance of the school,"thanked Trowa and walked off with Heero. Just then, Molly saw her talk to them and walked over to Serena. "I saw that, Serena! When did you become such good friends with them? I am surprised by this! What will your Darien think?!!?"exclaimed Molly. "About what? They're only new here and we just became friends. That's all. I should get going now Moll. I have to get to class,"said Serena as she walked off. "Wait Serena. How come you've changed so much? I don't know what's going on with you. What ever happened to you? You changed so much! You used to be a carefree happy girl that everyone liked to be around with! Now here you are. Completely changed! Your eyes doesn't posses the same light and happiness it once had. It's dull, sad, and full of sorrow. Your smile is fake. Yes, lots of people know about that. They can tell. They just won't say anything about it till now. We like your new side as well. You're more alert in class, you're on time, and you hardly clutz out anymore. Although, you're mostly sad and you won't say anything about it. Why won't you?"said Molly, her eyes full of concern. "It's nothing Moll. I just thought, I should show my real side. I'm not the girl that everyone thought I was. It was an act. Okay? It wasn't me. I only did that for everyone to be happy, but deep down. I wasn't happy at all. I was full of sorrow and sadness as I am now. Lots of things have changed the past week. Something that I regret...."stated Serena as her eyes started to fill with tears but she hid it as she turned her head to the side and then walked away. Molly watched as her friend walked off. Her eyes full of sympathy and sadness. Her mouth shaped in an o. *What's wrong Serena? What's wrong? You have changed so much....I want the old Serena back.. but this time, for real.* thought Molly as she watched her friend turn the corner. ****************************8 When school ended, Serena met up with Amy and told her to meet her at the entrance of the school. Amy nodded and met up with her. Serena asked her to help the 4 boys with their situation and Amy consented. "All right Serena, I'll help out. I don't have much to do today except study. So okay. One more thing though.."said Amy. "What is it?"asked Serena. "What happened to the old Serena?"asked Amy. ".....I can't answer that,"Serena's voice saddened as she answered. "Is it because of us?"asked Amy. "......I can't say.."replied Serena almost to a whisper. Just then the 4 boys walked up to them. With no expression on their faces. They stopped when they reached them. "Hey guys! Ready to go?"greeted Amy, smiling at them. "Sure are!"replied Duo. "Well then, you guys go. I have something to attend to. Ja ne,"waved Serena as she walked off and down the street. "I wonder where she's going.."said Amy as she watched her friend walk off. "....dunno, but if she doesn't want to tell us anything. Then let her be,"replied Trowa. "..that's the problem. She never kept a secret from us before..and now she is. It's really weird. Ever since....the fight.."trailed off Amy. *Is that why?..or is it something else? Why can't she be her old self?* thought Amy. "..mm...never mind. Let's go,"Amy said shaking her head and walking off toward the mall. The others nodded their head and followed. Amy showed them all over the city and they got their laptop and computer. They rode on the Lexus given to them with Wufie driving up to pick them up. Then loaded it up with two computers and 5 laptops. *I wonder where they got all that money..*thought Amy as she watched them load up the car with the computers. ********************************* *sigh* *..how am I going to get through with all of this..seeing Drew on that bed, unconscious and in a coma with cancer is killing me. I only met him for a week and I feel like I have known him for such a long time. I guess...friendship and bonding with people that you can talk to so freely does that to you. But..that wasn't what happened with me and him, it was different. He could see through me, he can see who I really am. That's what made me so close to him. He understood me. That's why..now here I am, completely changed and I don't know what to do about it. *sigh* This sucks..totally. I hope Amy is treating the guys right. They're new...I don't think they can take it if she starts talking big...* thought Serena as her head slumped and then perked up. She finally reached the park area and dove into a secluded area with lots of trees around. She called forth the power to transform into Merodi and she did. She stood now, with her white wings closed behind her back. Her silver hair in odangos and her ninja clothes all silver. She started walking toward the hospital and told the nurse that she's here to visit Drew. The nurse stared at her in awe as she nodded her head in consent and watched her walk off, with other eyes following her from doctors and nurses as well as patients, mostly guy patients. (^_~) When Merodi reached Drew's room, she saw Kouhei waiting inside. He sat next to Drew, clutching his small, pale hands with his own. Staring at Drew in sorrow and pain, he was intently looking at Drew, hoping to see him wake up. Suddenly Kouhei noticed Merodi and turned to look at her, silently. "Hey Merodi...let's do this. I hope it works. You start first and I'll follow suit,"greeted Kouhei, taking out his golden flute along with Merodi. Merodi settled on the hospital bed, across from Kouhei's position. Then played a soft, soothing melody that filled you with happiness and strength. It took a lot from them as they played. Not looking at anything, completely concentrated on healing those in need, Their minds trained on people who were hurt or in trouble. They played on soothingly. The people in the hospital closed their eyes and listened to the soothing sound. Their bodies regenerated and became stronger with each passing minute. They healed up to their regular level of energy and strength and then continued to rest after that as the music played on. Merodi and Kouhei played on, listening to the powers of the their flutes. They closed all of their senses except their ability to hear and sense those that will attack. They can tell that Drew was slowly recovering. When their power energy slowed down, they stopped playing. They looked at Drew's form on the bed and saddened at what they saw. Drew was still in a bad recovery, he layed there, even though he was healed in the arms, his leg, and his head, he was still in his coma and doesn't seem to be coming around at all. No signs of him waking up were showing. His pale face still there and his breathing now regular which was a relief to them. "..it doesn't seem he will wake up anytime soon,"whispered Merodi. "Don't give up hope. At least he healed up. Plus we helped other people,"Kouhei said. "...I suppose,"sighed Merodi. "I better get going. There's homework. You coming?"said Kouhei looking back at Merodi. "..I'll go later on. There's still light outside,"Merodi replied. "Okay..Merodi?"said Kouhei. "Hai?..what is it?"asked Merodi looking at his retreating form. "..You've changed alot. I'm worried. I want the old, cheerful girl I once knew back. I hope that someday, you will come back. This time for real. I know that your old self wasn't real, but...you still posses that same cheerfullness that you had. It was there, the real one but you didn't want it. I hope that you find your true self. I think we all want you back...that's all I wanted to say. Ja ne...Sere.."said Kouhei as he walked off, whispering her name in the end. Merodi looked at him as he walked off, her eyes full of sadness, questioning him, and sorrow. She watched him leave, not taking her eyes off him. *...I don't know why I've changed..I really don't, but I don't know how to achieve true happiness. I really don't. The old Serena could do it, but why can't I? I know that the old Serena was a fake, it wasn't me! .....why do they want her back? Why?..I don't know what's going on. I don't know how to do this! I really don't....I don't know what's going on with me! I will try to get her back though..I will, but for the better. For all of you and for me.* thought Merodi, tears escaping from her eyes. Merodi turned her head and watched Drew. She closed the door and walked over to his hospital bed and sat down on a chair, pulling it up close by the bed. She watched his sleeping form and her face held tears. Tears rolled down from her eyes as she watched him. The room was dark from the dimly lit lights and the shades closed. No comfort was provided. "..gomen nasai, Drew. Gomen nasai. You were right that I was never truly happy. You were right about that. Also I know that you knew that there were so many secrets that I have kept from you and Par. Par knows most of it..but you don't. Now you know..I think you probably figured out by now, at least most of my secrets. Since here I am, talking to you as Merodi. *tears welling up*....*sigh*...gomen nasai for not being able to save you. I can't believe that with all my powers..I can't even heal you. I will try. I will do what I can to find a way to beat those bastards for hurting you like this! I will!....I will also try to get you out of that coma. Just don't give up. I know that you can do this! ...but I don't think you want to wake up do you?..So many problems are waiting for you out here. You have so many problems. You kept secrets as well...you haven't told me at all where you came from. Or who your parents are. You're a mystery to me as much as I am to you, maybe more. Gomen nasai...for the things I have done to hurt you, Drew *grabbing his hand, her hand over his hand* Arigatou for not thinking badly of me. Not telling you my problems and secrets. Someday I will tell you..I will,"said Merodi, tears falling from her eyes. Merodi stood up, her golden flute safely put away. Then she weakly smiled and walked away, closing the door behind her. Then she bumped into a nurse who was about to walk in. It was Eli! "..I'm so so sorry! I really am! I was just going to change, Mr. Terlo's sheets,"apologized and stuttered Eli. "It's all right. Really, I should be apologizing. I'm sorry. I should have seen you there. I just came out, trying to heal Drew. I feel horrible about all of this,"bowed Merodi. "..it's no one's fault. The monsters have caused this. Drew is such a nice boy. Especially to Serena, one of the volunteers,"sighed Eli. "..Miss. When you go in there, please don't change the lightings or the pull open the drapes,"said Merodi, looking serious and pleadingly. "Why not?"asked Eli, startled by what she has said. "..well...I don't think any happiness should be brought in there, when one so young and has so many problems that has faced things that most people wouldn't face. Nothing or no one should see it. When he wakes up, then light shall be able to enter, but until then...no light should enter that room,"said Merodi, looking at the closed door behind her. "..I think I understand, but it's sort of sad. What if he wakes up and nothing of happiness greets him?"asked Eli. "..I'll see to that,"said Merodi, bowing and then walking off. *what an odd girl* thought Eli, shaking her head and walking into the room with sheets on her arms. *************************** "I am proud of you, Sarya for finding the inner's identity and getting to hurt..Merodi's friends like that. I am very proud by your work,"smiled (if you can see under that awful hood of his') Master. "That's not all of it,"smiled Sarya. "There's more?...well then say the rest of it,"urged Master, his hand on his crytal orb staff. "Yes....you see I found out that Merodi and Sailor Moon are one and the same. Interesting right? Well that's not all of it. You see I found that the identity! Her name is Serena, she has an odango hair style. You won't be able to miss it! Plus the bad side is that she has friends with her. There are two new scout. Their names are Sailor Neptune and Uranus. Plus Merodi has a pagasus with her and has a friend named..well I do know that he has a golden flute like Merodi's. He has a uniform like Seij's from that guy you told us about a long time ago. The difference is that the guy has a light sky blue color of a uniform,"informed Sarya, kneeling down and staring at Master, her eyes solemn and unchanging. "..good work, you have done a far greater job than I have thought. A lot of useful information. Beryl wouldn't have made it this far so soon. It seems that Seij has gotten hold of all of his companions. We must not let them succeed in finding out the secrets of those golen flutes. You see..I have found out that those golden flutes hold great power that can be unlocked with the right procedure. It helped the Silver Crystal a long time ago in defeating evil. Ever since then, the warriors are only there to protect the jewel. Then when ultmimate peace has been established, caled the Silver Alliance ruled by Queen Serenity there was no real threat in stealing the Silver Crystal. So the warriors have somewhat disappeared ever since then. We do not know what has happened, but I do know that we must not unlock their memories of their true powers! We mustn't! Plue I don't want the scouts getting in the way! So we need to deal with them, first. I will do this part, I will find out where they live and then get them in their dreams. Let's see, now that we know their names..I will just channel it through my crystal orb. Go now, Sarya. I will call you when needed,"stated Master, looking deeply at his crytal orb, his hand going around it. "Yes Master..."bowed Sarya and walked off. "Now then...let's look into your minds..Raye, Darien, Lita, Mina,..and what was that last name?..A..A...oh I'll get to her later,"grinned Master. Four faces showed up on the crystal orb and a dark purple light shined out and projected it in the middle of the room. It showed of Raye, Darien, Lita, and Mina. Their faces happy. "Now then...let's see what else my crystal orb has in plan for all of you. ORB TELL ME WHEN THEY ARE ASLEEP!! I want to fill their mind of harmful things that will get them away from Sailor Moon and Merodi...hehehe..and Serena..."grinned Master, you can see his evil eyes gleaming with evil thoughts. ********************************************** Once the 5 Gundam Wing soldiers have entered their apartment or is it condo? Well anyways.. once they got there they put their 2 computers on the living room. Then got their laptops ready and put it in their rooms. Once the computers were ready, Trowa and Wufie started to hack into things from the computer. The other three just relaxed and watch television, except for Quatra who went into the kitchen and prepared dinner. "What are you doing there Trowa? Wufie?"asked Duo. "..Just looking for some info as to where to get a stable job. Then we won't be too obvious around here. They would be wondering how we're getting all this money, ne?"said Wufie. "I guess.."said Duo. "Just looking for parts to make our Gundams,"replied Trowa. "..uhmm..that's going to be difficult since there are no gundamian aloids around here,"informed Duo. "Don't be that confident. I found a lot, over at Siberia, Egypt, and in a secluded island between Hawaii and the U.S. They're inspecting it,"informed Trowa. "Really?...Are they selling it?"asked Quatra from the kitchen. "Nope...I'm trying to find a way around that,"replied Trowa. "I found a job over at the City Hall. I'm going to be working on computer stuff. Pays well, but we won't really need that much,"said Wufie, pressing an enter key. "That's good, getting more info on things around here,"replied Quatra. They continued on working with Wufie and Trowa. While Quatra prepared dinner and Heero and Duo watched television. "Hey, look they're talking about Sailor Moon! The protector of this place"replied Duo. The gundam wing pilots turned to listen to what they had to say. "Today we find that Sailor Moon, 2 of the scouts, Tuxedo Mask, and the a new warrior bringing in a citizen that was seriously injured today. The young boy's name was Drew Terlo. The doctors have said that Drew Terlo is in a coma and turns out to have lung cancer. We hope that he will recover from this injury and wake up from the coma. Even though there is no cure for Cancer as of yet, we hope that he will live for a longer period of time. It turns out that a monster has attacked Mr. Terlo, causing him to bleed by the temple, a leg fracture,and a broken arm with that Cancer and coma. I guess from bringing in that young boy in such a state that they are lacking in their fighting. Could it be that the rumors are true that the Sailor Scouts are breaking up? That the new warrior with the silver clothing and wings is now rising? We will find out...until then tune into this channel and find out the new information that we will give you,"reported the reporter. Duo shut off the television and turned to the others. "So what do you think?"asked Duo. "I think that they're a bit over exaggerating. There could be more to it than that," said Heero. "I agree, but I think that there's a connection to all of this don't you?" said Quatra. "I think so...but not quite sure as to what. We'll need to find out more,"replied Duo. The others nodded in agreement at that and quieted down, going back to what they were doing. Except Duo went and looked over Trowa's and Wufies back to watch what's going on. Heero went in and helped Quatra cook, well probably set up the table. ****************************** Darien was watching the news as well. He sat on the couch, looking at the television before him, quiet and deep in thought. *What's going on around here..everything is foggy in my mind. I can't think straight anymore! Everything is messed up nowadays! The scouts aren't as close as before with Serena. I'm not close with her either! Then there's the deal with Merodi and Kouhei Kaichou!..New enemies! The outers are back from what I saw. What else is going on!* thought Darien the remote control from his hands fell down to the ground. *RING* *RING* "Moshi moshi,"said Darien as he picked up the receiver. "Hey Darien. Did you call the others yet about the meeting?"asked Raye. "Oh no..I forgot about that. I haven't seen Serena yet, ever since..yesterday,"replied Darien. "That's okay....what about Amy?"asked Raye. "Amy? Nope not her either,"Darien replied. "oh..well then. Get on over to the temple. The others aren't here yet, either,"replied Raye. "Okay, ja ne,"said Darien and hanged up. *I wonder what's going on..* thought Darien as he got ready. ********************************* "Hey Mina! Have you seen Amy or Serena yet?"asked Mina as she walked up to Lita. Lita turned around and saw Mina with Artemis and Luna on her shoulders. "Nope, hey there Luna! I haven't seen you in awhile. You know right? About the fight we had?"said Lita. "Yeah, she knows,"nodded Mina. "Where do you think they could be?"asked Lita. "Luna doesn't know..."replied Mina. "Let's find somewhere secluded and talk there,"replied Lita and walked off to a deserted alley. Once they got there, Lita got out her communicator. "Ahh..I got ya! Okay then. Go call Serena. You know her more than I do. I'll go call Amy,"nodded Mina, taking her communicator out. ********************************* *BEEP* *BEEP* "Huh? Oh..it's the scouts. They haven't communicated with me for a long time,"said Amy as she took out her communicator and took her eyes off the computer from her room. "Hai?"said Amy as she switched it on. "Hey Amy! Long time no see! Look we need you over by the temple. There's a meeting. If you see...Ser...ena. Go and get her kay? Lita will go and call her from the communicator as well,"replied Mina. "Hai, I'll be there,"replied Amy and turned off the communicator. Then Amy shut off the computer and went over to the temple. *I wonder what they want to talk about?* wondered Amy. *************************** *BEEP* *BEEP* "Huh? That can't be the communicator! We fought..hmm..maybe they're desperate..."thought Serena outloud. "Hai?"asked Serena as she turned on the communicator. "Serena?...uhmm..hey. I know we had our differences and all but it's important. It's about that new warrior. Plus we should talk about the new enemy. Please. Onegai. Please come? All right? Please? Over at the temple,"pleaded Lita as her face came on the screen. "..*sigh*..All right. I'll come,"sighed Serena. "Arigatou,"thanked Lita. The two shut off their communicators after. *I wonder what they want...about Merodi, ne. New warrior that's me. I better not reveal to them about Merodi and Kouhei or anything like that to them.* thought Serena as she walked toward the temple from the park. She detransformed there right after she was sure that no one was around and it was safe to detransform. ******************************* "All right there it goes. Both are coming. Let's go,"replied Lita. Then the two walked off to the temple. ******************************** "Where are they?!?!"exclaimed Raye as she swept on the edge of the temple steps. Darien arrived just moments ago and sat thinking about what has been going on in the past. "Hey you guys! Sorry we're late. Amy and Serena will be arriving soon. We got hold of them from the communicators. We forgot about that..."replied Mina as she and Lita walked up and sat down on the stairs of the temple. "Don't worry. Chad and Grandpa are off camping. Grandpa is trying to get Chad to be in touch with his inner instincts,"replied Raye. "That's good. I don't have to worry about someone hearing me talk,"sighed Luna and Artemis nodded his head. The two cats jumped off from Mina's shoulder and settled on the temple steps. (so as not to get confused. I am talking about the one with the inside and the doors. The wooden temple thing. Raye is sweeping the temple stairs nearby. When you walk up that concrete pavement area. Got a clear view? Good. Steps is from the wooden area of the temple thing.) "So, Luna. What's been going on with Serena?"asked Raye. "..well I don't know, actually. She hasn't been talking much with me. She hasn't been home that much. Mostly she returns at night time, exhausted. She said that she's been surveying the city more and practicing really hard. Plus one or twice she said that she came from a fight. I think she's been handling monsters by herslef. She hasn't brought me with her at all..ever since the fight you guys had. She said that she'll see to it on that new warrior,"replied Luna. "How about her emotons?"asked Mina. "You mean how she's acting right? Well..she's more quiet and more cautious...."replied Luna. "Quiet? Serena?"gasped Raye. "Cautious and quiet?!?! That's weird!"gasped Mina and Lita. Darien didn't say anything. Just then Amy was walking up the steps with Serena along. They were quiet and Serena had her head lowered and was walking up the steps. Serena walked with grace and wasn't clumsy at all! "Hey guys! Long time no see!"greeted Amy, smiling. "So what is that you called us for?"asked Serena. "...uhmm..well it's about that new warrior, Merodi. Also that other guy, what's-his-name. Know anything about them? All we know is that she's new in town and has a pegasus. Also that Merodi flies and has wings. She also has a sword and a magical, golden flute,"replied Raye. "Also that Merodi communicates with the pegasus through her mind. Plus her hair is like Serena's but it's different in a way..well silver and her eyes are silver. Plus more different.."replied Lita. "What else do you guys know?"asked Mina. "Can we trust her?"asked Raye. "Yes, we can. I know I do,"replied Serena, looking at them. "Why do you say that?"asked Raye. "Well, from the news it sounds like we can trust her. She saved hostage people a while ago,"replied Serena. "I guess, but I don't think it's enough,"replied Raye. "What about that time that she beat those monsters by herself?"reminded Darien. "I think she's a show off,"replied Raye. "Believe what you want to. I will trust her,"replied Serena and Amy nodded in agreement. "All right then, what about you guys?"asked Raye. "I think we should give her a chance,"nodded Lita with a nodding Mina and Darien nodded as well. "All right then. We'll give that Merodi and who ever is associated with them a chance,"replied Raye, sighing. "What about that new evil?"asked Serena. "What new evil?"asked Raye, Mina, Lita, Artemis, Luna, and Amy. "It happened yesterday. An evil source arrived and attacked. The monsters are stronger and tougher. Plus one of them has a very high energy source. Her name is Sarya,"replied Serena. "Serena..what happened before I came?"asked Darien. "...nothing. Nothing much.."replied Serena. "You're keeping something. I know something big happened but you won't say. Now what was it?"pressed Darien. "....*sigh*...the..it's nothing important. Really,"insisited Serena, her face steady. "Don't try to get her to tell you. She'll tell when she's ready,"replied Amy. "Okay.."sighed Darien, disappointed. "So anyone know their objective?"asked Raye. "I think their after a certain person. One of us. If you noticed. They haven't exactly been all that careful about getting energy. When a scout arrived or a warrior, they wouldn't really pay attention to them and then come after the warrior or scout. It's pretty obvious they're looking for one of us. The question is, who?"informed Serena. "Good theory, Serena. We'll have to watch each other's backs then,"replied Amy. Everyone was a bit shocked by what Serena said and nodded their heads. "So who's going to watch who?"asked Artemis. "I'll watch Serena's back,"said Amy. "I'll watch Amy's then,"replied Serena, calmly. "I may as well watch Mina's back,"replied Darien. "I'll watch Darien's,"said Mina. "That leaves us, Raye. We'll watch each other's back then,"replied Lita, with Raye nodding her head in appoval. Then everyone was silent afterwards. Serena sensed something wrong though and felt aggitated. *..Serena..Merodi...I sense evil around somewhere..*channeled Kamikaze. *I feel it too* replied Serena, in her head. "Do you guys sense that? There's an evil force at work. I can feel it,"stated Serena, looking around. "I don't sense anything,"replied Mina with Lita, Amy, and Darien nodding their head. "...wait. I sense it too,"replied Raye. "Where is it? Where is it coming from?"asked Serena, trying to trace it. "I think it's coming from the hospital,"replied Raye. "no..not there! COSMIC MOON POWER!!!"cried out Serena as she transformed into Sailor Moon. The others watched Serena as she got worried. Then they shook their heads and transformed as well. "JUPITER STAR POWER!!" "VENUS STAR POWER!!" "MARS STAR POWER!!" "MERCURY STAR POWER!!" Then Darien turned into Tuxedo Mask. Afterwards they followed Sailor Moon to the expected scene over at the hospital. *They better not harm Drew. They better not!* Sailor Moon thought angrily as she ran, quickly picking up speed. ****************************** *I feel a dark prescence over at the hospital. I should get there and quick! Drew is over there and maybe even Serena!* thought Par as he looked over toward the direction of the hospital from the Secret Circle. He got up from his sitting position on the rock next to Seij. They were fully concentrated but then sensed a dark prescence. "We need to go and help out, Seij!"exclaimed Seij. "Right, let's transform,"he calmly replied. Their eyes shut and concentrated into transforming. Then in moments they transformed into a Kouhei Kaichou and a tranformed Seij. "You need a name.."said Kouhei. "I know..what about you?"asked transformed Seij. "Name's Kouhei,"bowed Kouhei. "Hmm...I suppose it suits you,"nodded transformed Seij. "Well then..you're mostly the peaceful type,"said Kouhei. "Mostly like harmonious, ne?"said transformed Seij. "Harmonious..hmm..how about Kaichou? Harmony? Kaichou is much better than saying Harmony.. soo I guess it would suit you, right? Kaichou is nice enough...and if we start saying Harmony on you,then you'll get laughed at. So Kaichou is good enough.."said Kouhei. "Fine...I'll use Kaichou as a name,"nodded Kaichou. "Great! Let's go!"smiled Kouhei. "Let's take a shortcut. By flying,"said Kaichou taking out his golden flute. Kouhei stood next to Kaichou as he played a soft,sweet song. It was light to the ears and then a soft glow of white twinkling stars flew out and around the backs of Kouhei's and Kaichou's backs. Kouhei grew light blue wings, with a lighter shade on the tips of the wings. Kaichou's were silver in color around his back that shined when the sun hit it. "Let's go," stated Kaichou and flew up, off the ground. "Right," nodded Kouhei and flew up, following Kaichou. Kouhei and Kaichou flew towards the hospital as fast as they could. ****************** Once Sailor Moon got there, her eyes went wide. Her heart pounded as fast as it could and her eyes went all around the place. When the other scouts and Tuxedo Mask got there with the cats, they looked shocked along with Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon spotted Sailor Uranus and Neptune and walked toward them. She cautiously and crept silently beside them. Then stopped and looked at the scene before them. "What's going on? What happened? Where are they doing to them?"asked Sailor Moon, whispering. "Honestly, I don't know. It's too new to us. I don't know who this new enemy we're facing but I do know that he is purely evil if he's doing this,"Uranus whispered back with Neptune nodding in agreement. "This can't happen..it just can't. If they harm Drew in any way...I'm going to make sure that none of them will live.."stated an angry Sailor Moon. Her voice turned from a soft whisper to a harsh, threatning sound. Uranus and Neptune were shocked at her reaction and just grew still. The other scouts stood by and watched the scene before them. Right before their eyes stood hundreds of monster of all sizes and shapes. They were at least 7ft. tall in height to 12ft. It looked to them that they were invading the hospital. Taking the semi-healthy ones out and to a black-purple, large portal on top of the hospital near the ledge. As for the unhealthy, near death patients... none of them knew what happened to them, but the do know that by now the doctors, nurses, and the visitors are probably where they should be, meaning in the portal to another place. The scouts looked on, their anger growing and their curiosity aroused. Sailor Moon was furious right now and wanted to know a way to get in there and hurt whoever is picking on her friend, Drew. *There has to be a way to get in there! If they hurt Drew..Ooohh they'll be in big trouble! Drew's like a little brother to me! Well..a good little brother..* thought Sailor Moon. "Mercury. Find out in your computer how many monsters are in there. In all of the area from here, around here, and in the hospital. A.S.A.P."whispered Sailor Moon, directly. "Hey! I thought I was leader,"protested Sailor Mars, as harshly as she can without being heard by the monsters. "Can it Mars. This is my territory. Drew is in there! He may be in trouble! So shut up!" growled Sailor Moon, quietly of course. Mars gasped and the other scouts were shocked along with Tuxedo Mask. "Who's Drew?"asked Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. "Drew is a friend of Moon's. Remember the little kid a couple of days ago?"reminded Tuxedo Mask. The scouts nodded and continued to watch the scene before them while Mercury typed on her mini-computer. **************************** *This is a wonderful plan. Probably one of the best! I know that Serena's or should I say Sailor Moon/ Merodi's friend is in here. I put him in here is in a coma and can't move or talk at all! He's in his weakest stage and I bet Serena is in full worry! She won't be able to do much with her friend on the line! Once she is in here with whoever is with her gets here..then the fun begins!* grinned Sarya as she floated on top of the hospital. *Sarya!*called Master, channeling through. (like telekinesis/or whatever that is that communicates through minds and stuff like that) *Yes Master?* *What are you doing? I didn't give you permission to do this!* *Gomen nasai. Please..I'll be able to get you more energy..and the scouts or even Merodi with this plan! Her friend..Drew Terlo is in here..totally helpless! It might work!* pleaded Sarya as she floated back down to the roof. *sigh* *..All right..I don't know what I'll do with these prisoners but..I'll think of something. Energy through them?...I don't know..fine you can do this plan of yours. Try your best..good job..instead of the draining plan like Beryl's it's capture the victims and bring them in this dungeon that the monsters have reported to me. Now then..try to get Merodi...or is it Serena..yes Serena. I want her alive! She is with Seij and I know that Seij will want her back...* said Master. *Yes Master..I'll do my best* Sarya said and bowed. Sarya smiled and then disappeared. Then she reappeared into the hospital and in front of a large 15ft. monster with green scales all over and looked to be male with black eyes but no pupils. "Lec I want you to try to capture the scouts and whoever gets in the way, understand? You hurt them but don't kill them. I want Sailor Moon, the one with the odangoes, alive..you may hurt her but not as badly as the others. Try to capture her, most of all! Master wants her to get to Seij..I still don't know who that is..but he sounds as if this is important. Now then..get to it!"commanded Sarya with one hand on her hips and the other pointing at Lec, the monster. "Yes, Sarya. I'll tell the other monsters about this,"nodded Lec. "Good, I'll be up on the roof,"stated Sarya and disappeared. "MONSTERS tell the others to capture the scouts and mostly Sailor Moon, the one in the odangoes! DO NOT KILL THEM! You may harm them but not to kill them! Understand? Now go and tell the others!"informed Lec to the monsters inside. The monsters went out and told the others. The scouts who intently watched them saw what happened. They spoke in "monster language" and it looked to them that they nodded in understanding and continued on with their work. ********************* It became darker as the sun was still out but it did get colder and the light blue sky became darker. Then they saw something in the sky. Everyone, including the monsters, looked up to see that there were two objects in the sky. Sailor Moon gasped as she noticed who it was! It was Kouhei and Kaichou! They held their golden flutes and flew around the place. "There it is! There are sooo many monsters down there Kaichou! What do we do?"asked Kouhei. "We circle the area and try to dodge, if they try to shoot us down! Try to land by those trees! They'll lose sight of us, I hope!"stated Kaichou pointing to the places he mentioned. "Right,"nodded Kouhei in understanding. The two warriors circled the area and indeed the monsters tried to shoot them down. Sarya noticed but became invisible, using her orb. She watched, studying their movement and grinned. The monsters down below began shooting them with laser beems, through their fingers, fire, through their mouths, green mushy stuff, from their hands, lightning beams, through the palms of their hands, and green vines, through their hands. The monsters through these at them and they dodged it, panicking, but the did manage to dodge it. The two warriors continued flying around as the scouts watched from down below. "I got it!"stated Mercury as a beeping sound softly sounded through. The screen blinked and numbers and letters showed up. "Well?"urged Sailor Moon. "There is a total of....oh man..that's too many!"exclaimed Mercury, her mouth going wide. "What is it?"asked Sailor Moon. "Well it says here that there are....1,112 monster in all! Plus I can't make out how many there are on top of the roof as well!"exclaimed Mercury as quietly as she could. "WHAT?!?!"gasped the scouts except for Uranus, Neptune, and Sailor Moon who kept their cool. "1,112 monster with more to go on the roof,"stated Mercury. "How are we going to do this?"asked Venus. "Easy,"stated Sailor Moon. "What?!?!"exclaimed Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and the others. "Easy. We charge in there. I'm willing to do whatever I can to get in there and get Drew out. He's sick and I'm responsible for him! The patients in there that are wounded and can't help themselves are counting on us to help them! Plus, there are missing workers that went into that portal up there! We need to get in there and save them! Don't you see? There are few of us against all those monster but....I won't run away. If you don't want to help me..then I have no choice. I'll just go there by myself. Who's with me? I'm sure that Kouhei and his friend will help me. They came and faced the consequences. Well?"stated Sailor Moon, looking at each of them. The scouts stared back, shocked, scared, worried, and intent. Jupiter sighed and then looked at the other scouts and then walked up to Sailor Moon. Uranus and Neptune followed suit. Then Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Mercury who was busily typing on her computer and just noticed what happened. Then Venus followed and the last one was Mars. "All right..I may as well go too,"sighed Mars and looked back at Sailor Moon. Luna and Artemis looked at the scouts and sighed. "Look scouts we can't go in there. We'll just get in the way so we'll go and hide, waiting for your return. We'll be up in the trees or something. Be careful,"warned Luna and then followed Artemis up to the tree. "Thanks Luna..Artemis,"lightly smiled Sailor Moon. "Gomen nasai Sailor Moon..I would have responded sooner but I was planning a way in. You want to get to Drew's room..ne. So...here's the thing he's on the 7th floor in room 701. It looks like there are a lot of monster on that floor. So many..especially around that room. It seems as if..never mind..,"stated Sailor Mercury. "Well Mercury..any idea to get around that?"asked Sailor Moon. "No..I guess we'll have to do your plan and charge in there, straight on,"stated Mercury. Sailor Moon looked at each of the scouts, Tuxedo Mask, and finally up at the sky where the two warriors were flying around, dodging the monster's attacks. *sigh* "Okay..here's the
