Sailor Moon World Chapter 8 "NO SHE DOES NOT," shouted a familiar man's voice from the back of the room. Everyone turned around to see who it was, but Serena already knew. "DARIEN," shouted Serena. She quickly turned around and saw Tuxedo Mask and the scouts standing at the doorway. Serena started running towards them, but something caught her arm. "No you don't," said Diamond, "GUARDS, GET THEM!" The ten guards around the room began to glow, and then they transformed into tall green droids. They had sharp teeth and big yellow eyes. They were covered in black armor and each had a long spear. One of them, the one at the head of the room, had big muscles over his whole body. He was wearing a gold badge on his armor. He pointed his spear at the scouts and Tuxedo Mask. The other nine droids nodded then turned to the scouts. "We will crush you," said one of the droids, "You don't know who you're up against. We are DOOM SQUAD." They all started charging towards the scouts. Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus got the three droids coming from the right side of the room. Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter got the three droids coming from the left side. Tuxedo Mask and sailor Earth got the three coming from the front. The witnesses at the wedding already left the room from the left and right entrances. Diamond disappeared, taking Serena with him. *** Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus saw the three droids walking towards them. "Why don't we show these goons what we're made of," said Sailor Mars. Sailor Venus nodded. They both went into a fighting stance. The droid in the middle put out his arms to stop the two next to him. "Let me take care of these girly girls," said the droid. The other two backed away, signaling it was okay. The middle droid turned to the two scouts, a grin on its face. "Let's get this over with," said the droid. The two scouts grinned. The droid came running towards them. It swung its spear at Sailor Venus. She jumped over it and drop kicked him in his chest. It flew back into the other two droids. It quickly got up and flashed an angry look at the two scouts. "NOW YOU'LL PAY," shouted the droid, "LET'S GET THEM!" The other two nodded and they all ran towards the scouts. *** The three droids that were going to fight Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter saw what happened to their friend, then turned angrily to the two girls. "So," said the droid on the left, "You gals are pretty tough." Sailor Jupiter grinned. "You haven't seen anything yet," said Sailor Jupiter. The droid held out its spear towards the scouts. The other two did the same. "FIRE," shouted the three droids. The steel tips of the spears grew to a bright red before shooting out fire. The scouts quickly dove out of the way. "SHINE AQUA ILLUSION," shouted Sailor Mercury before hitting the ground. The droid on the left and right quickly dove out of the way. The droid in the middle dove too late and got hit by the water. He got thrown back. *** Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Earth were stepping back from the three droids walking towards them. Sailor Earth tilted his head towards his brother. "Any ideas," whispered Sailor Earth. Tuxedo Mask nodded his head. "Well," asked Sailor Earth. Tuxedo Mask put up his finger. Sailor Earth nodded his head. The two were cornered against a wall. Tuxedo jumped into the air and reached into his cape. The droid in the middle also jumped and hit Tuxedo Mask on the side of his face with its spear. Tuxedo Mask fell straight down into Sailor Earth's waiting arms. "You okay Dar," asked Sailor Earth. Tuxedo Mask nodded his head. Sailor Earth put his brother down on his feet. Tuxedo Mask spit out the blood that was in his mouth and looked back up to see three spears up to him and Sailor Earth. They both looked at each other, a bit scared, until the droids turned around. Tuxedo Mask and his brother looked to see what disturbed the droids. They saw a droid being pushed by a huge wave of water coming straight for them. They dove out of the way, but the three droids got pushed through the wall and into the next room and turned into a pile of dust. There were only five droids left. *** Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus jumped over the three droids charging towards them. They landed behind the droids. "MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND," shouted Sailor Mars. The droid in the middle quickly turned around and hit the rings back with its spear. Sailor Venus quickly dove out of the way, but Sailor Mars was surprised that the droid did that and jumped a bit too late. Two rings hit her, one on her right knee and one on her right ankle. She fell to the ground and grabbed her leg in pain. Sailor Venus ran to her friend. The droids saw this as an advantage and held out their spears. "FIRE BEAM," shouted the middle droid. The steel tips of the spears grew into a bright red, then they all snapped in half. The droids stared in confusion as their spears snapped in half. Then they noticed a red rose on the floor. They looked up and saw Tuxedo Mask standing next to Sailor Earth. "EARTH TITANIC QUAKE," shouted Sailor Earth. He stabbed his sword into the ground and the floor curled up like a wave and fell on the three droids. "VENUS CRESENT BEAM SMASH," shouted Sailor Venus. Her beam hit the rubble covering the droids and blew up, taking the droids with it. Sailor Venus, Sailor Earth, and Tuxedo Mask stood still for a moment until they heard moaning. They turned around and saw Sailor Mars grabbing her badly burnt leg. The three ran over to her. Sailor Venus knelt downs beside her and supported her into a sitting position. "Are you okay," asked Sailor Venus. "Yeah," answered Sailor Mars, "Go help the others." "But…" said Sailor Venus who was cut off. "I said I'll be okay," said Sailor Mars, "Now go!" Sailor Venus nodded her head and stood up. "Let's go," said Sailor Venus. Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Earth nodded their heads. *** The two droids fired an ice attack out of their spears towards the two scouts. They easily jumped over it and drop kicked them. At the last second, the two droids disappeared. The two scouts landed on their feet and looked around. "Where did they go," asked Sailor Jupiter. "I don't know," answered Sailor Mercury, "Let me scan this place with…" said Sailor Mercury who was cut off by a pain in her back. She fell to her knees. Sailor Jupiter felt something hit her in the back too, and she fell to one knee. They both looked behind them to see a spear pointed at each of their necks. "EARTH BLADE ATTACK," shouted Sailor Earth. The two droids turned around and saw Sailor Earth falling from the ceiling. He was holding his sword over his head. It was glowing a bright green. He slashed at the droid on the left and it fell to a pile of dust. A bunch of roses hit the other droid and it fell to its knees. Tuxedo Mask fell from the ceiling and stood next to his brother. "VENUS CRESENT BEAM SMASH," shouted Sailor Venus who also fell from the ceiling. The beam hit the droid and it fell to a pile of dust. Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Earth helped support Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mercury back to their feet. Sailor Venus picked up Sailor Mars and carried her over to the rest of them. The scouts and Tuxedo Mask all stood there until they were interrupted by clapping from behind them. They turned around and saw the big droid, most likely the leader clapping his hands, a big grin on his face. "So you are the Sailor Scouts," said the droid, "You are much stronger than I thought. You made it here, but here is not where you think it is. He started laughing an evil laugh as the room around them disappeared. The whole castle disappeared. There was nothing but a deserted wasteland around them. "This room, this castle, this wedding," said Tuxedo Mask, "This was all just one big illusion?" The droid stopped laughing, but still had an evil grin across his face. "I'm afraid you're right," said the droid, "AND IT WILL BE YOUR GRAVE!" The droid started growing. It grew a tail, its eyes grew big and evil, it grew huge wings, and long black claws grew on its hands and feet. It kept on growing and busted out of its uniform. It grew into a huge dragon. The dragon looked down at the scouts with its big red eyes. "Prepare to die, Sailor Scouts," said the dragon. It took a deep breath then exhaled fire. "EARTH SHIELD WALL SURROUND," shouted Sailor Earth. A wall of green light surrounded the scouts. The fire hit the wall and turned to steam. Sailor Mars told Sailor Venus that she could stand and Venus placed her down on her feet. "JUPITER THUNDERCLAP ZAP," shouted Sailor Jupiter. The ball of electricity shot through the wall and hit the dragon in the mid-section. The dragon roared in pain, but got over it quickly. It swung its tail, but couldn't break through the wall. "I…I can't…hold it…much longer," said Sailor Earth who was now on one knee. "MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND!" "VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!" "JUPITER THUNDERCLAP ZAP!" The three scouts all did their attacks to the dragon along with a bunch of Tuxedo Mask's roses. All the attacks hit the dragon in the mid-section and it roared in pain before swinging its tail again. The tail hit the shield and it disappeared. "I…I don't…have any more…power," said Sailor Earth. He was on both knees with his fists into the ground. The dragon stomped towards the scouts. "SAILOR SCOUTS," shouted a voice from behind them. They all turned around to see Sapphire running towards them. He stopped at the scouts. They were all giving him nasty looks. "We trusted you," said Tuxedo Mask. Sapphire gasped for air before speaking. "I did not know," said Sapphire, "It's not my fault. It was a trap that got me too." Their nasty looks softened up a bit. "I know how to defeat it," said Sapphire, "I know how the dragon can be beaten." "How," asked all the scouts and Tuxedo Mask. "The dark crystal on its forehead is the source of its power," said Sapphire, "go for it." They all nodded. "Prepare to die," said the dragon. Tuxedo Mask looked at the scouts. "I'll get the crystal," said Tuxedo Mask, "You finish it off." The scouts nodded. Tuxedo Mask jumped up to the level of the dragon's head and threw a rose. It struck the center of the crystal and the dragon was surrounded by dark energy. It was roaring in pain. "NOW SCOUTS," shouted Tuxedo Mask. The scouts all held hands in a circle and closed their eyes. "MARS STAR POWER!" "MERCURY STAR POWER!" "VENUS STAR POWER!" "JUPITER STAR POWER!" "EARTH CRYSTAL POWER!" "SAILOR PLANET POWER," shouted the scouts together. A white light fired from them and hit the dragon in the crystal. It roared before falling to a pile of dust. They all sat down on the ground. Tuxedo Mask walked over to sapphire. "Where to now," asked Tuxedo Mask. Sapphire shook his head. "I wish I knew," said Sapphire, "but I don't." Tuxedo Mask put his hand up to his forehead in pain. Sapphire looked at him in concern. "What's wrong," asked Sapphire. "It's Serena," answered Tuxedo Mask, "I feel her and she's in pain. I can feel where she is. She doesn't have much time." "Then we must go," said Sapphire. The scouts were all standing around Tuxedo Mask. "Where is she," asked Sailor Mars. Tuxedo Mask looked up ahead of him at the vast wasteland. "She's this way," said Tuxedo Mask, pointing ahead of him. "Let's go," said Sapphire. The others nodded their heads. They began to walk into the nothingness. *** Serena and Diamond are both sitting on Serena's bed. Serena was sitting as far away as possible from him. "You know what," asked Diamond. Serena gulped before answering. "We are married and we never even kissed yet," said Diamond, an evil grin on his face. He reached over and grabbed Serena's chin and pulled her head closer to his. "Show me how much you love your king," said Diamond. Serena tried to struggle out of his grip, but she was too weak. His lips nearly touched hers until something flew between their faces. Diamond let go of her and looked down at the red rose. He angrily looked up. He saw Tuxedo Mask and the scouts standing in the doorway. "DARIEN," cried Serena who ran to him. He put his arms around her and let her cry into his shoulder. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY QUEEN," shouted Diamond. He used his power to make Serena float towards him. He then turned back toward the scouts. "DARIEN," cried Serena, who was reaching out her hand. "SERENA," cried Tuxedo Mask, who was holding his hand out, but she was too far away. "NOW DIE," shouted Diamond. He fired a beam and it hit all the scouts and Tuxedo Mask. They all fell to one knee. "DIAMOND," cried Serena, "STOP!" Diamond didn't even hear her as he fired at them again. "STOP," shouted a familiar voice. This time Diamond stopped to look at his brother. "Sapphire," asked Diamond, "Where have you been? What happened to you?" Sapphire walked towards his brother. "It's Wiseman," said Sapphire, "He's been using us all along. He did this to me." Diamond was shocked. "Wiseman," asked Diamond, "HE WOULD NEVER!" A look of anger crossed his face. "But he did," said Sapphire, "He did this to…" he was interrupted when a blast of energy hit him from behind. He fell to one knee and looked up at the person who hit him. "Sa…Sapphire," asked Diamond who then looked up, "WISEMAN!" Wiseman's eyes began to glow bright. "Don't listen to him," said Wiseman, "He is the traitor. He was helping the scouts to get here." Diamond looked shocked. "Don…don't believe…him," said Sapphire, "He's…the…traitor. Ask him. About…the Death Phantom." "SILENCE," shouted Wiseman. He fired a ball of energy down at Sapphire. It hit him and he fell to the ground. "SAPPHIRE," cried Diamond. He looked up at Wiseman in disbelief. "There's no need for any of you now," said Wiseman, "Now that the dark gate is nearly open, there is no need for the dark moon family. Only I and my master, the Death Phantom will rule the universe." He fired a ball of energy at Diamond. He saw it coming and countered with his own attack. He fired a beam of energy. The two attacks met in the middle, but Diamond was not strong enough and Wiseman's broke through. It hit Diamond in the chest and he flew to the ground. "DIAMOND," cried Serena who ran over to him. "Se…Serena," said Diamond, "I'm so sorry." Serena knelt down next to him. "I…I always wanted to know how…it was to be loved," said Diamond, "I guess I was too hard on you. I never wanted…to hurt you. I just wanted to be loved by the one that I love. But I was wrong. There's someone who truly loves you and I know that you truly love him." He reached his hand out and Serena took it. He slowly slid the ring off her finger. A tear fell from Serena's eye and was slowly moving down her cheek. Diamond reached up and wiped the tear away. "You're crying, for me," asked Diamond, "You have such a big heart, Serena. I wish I had love like you. I wish I could be like all of you. I wish I had flowers, fresh air, green grass…friends." Tears were now streaming down Serena's face. "You still can," said Serena, "I can heal you just like the sisters." Diamond shook his head. "It's too late now," said Diamond, "I cannot live much longer. Listen…don't let Wiseman destroy your beautiful planet. Protect it so that people like you can have a future." His dark moon symbol faded away. "Diamond," said Serena, "Your dark moon symbol…it's gone." Diamond looked astonished. "I feel so much different now," said Diamond, "I have wished to be human my whole life, and even though it's just for a short time, I have never been so…happy?" Diamond smiled and Serena nodded her head. Diamond looked over to his left and saw Sapphire lying next to him. He was still alive and he was looking at Diamond. His dark moon symbol was also gone. Diamond reached out his hand and his brother took it. They looked at each other, bright smiles across their faces. "ENOUGH," shouted Wiseman. He fired an energy ball at the brothers. "NO," screamed Serena as the energy hit the two. Serena kneeled over Diamond who was slowly closing his eyes. "I love you," said Diamond before he died. "Diamond," asked Serena, "No, Diamond." She started crying into her hands. Tuxedo Mask walked over to her and put his arms around her. He looked up angrily at Wiseman. "The dark gate is nearly open," said Wiseman, "and there's nothing you can do about it. You will never get back in time. And oh yeah, here's a little surprise for you." He disappeared and a tall lady appeared a little later. She had long pink hair down to her ankles and Serena's style. She was wearing all black and had an evil grin on her face. "Who are you," asked Tuxedo Mask. Serena looked up at the lady and something caught her eye. It was Luna-P. "Reenie," asked Serena.
