I fight for justice and i fight for love and I'll triumph over evil like you. In the name of the moon, i will punish yo-" The monster didn't wait for her to finish her speech as it launched it's first series of blasts at Sailormoon. Sailormoon barely dodged them in time, gasping, she bent down on her knees desperately sucking in air. "Watch it, Sailormoon!" It was Jack, calling out from the corner he was hiding from. Sailormoon turned her head just in time to see another blast heading straight for her. Wincing at the sudden pain that had grown sharper in her chest, she launched herself out of the way just in time. Now, instead of Sailormoon, the monster's attention was diverted to Jack. He shrank further back into his corner as the monster searched the darkness for signs of Jack. Grabbing a pole that he had unexpectantly found behind him, Jack readied himself for the attack. He looked over at Sailormoon. She was still recovering. *I'll take care of myself* Jack decided. The monster unleashed it's attack. Jack dodged it easily, the monster hadn't given up, launching blasts after blasts at Jack, while Sailormoon screamed at Jack to get away. Finally Jack was exhausted, he couldn't fight anymore. *God, he was only a normal human being* Taking it's chance, the monster gathered it's strength and set free a mighty blast at the hunched exhausted figure of Jack, which could have easily killed him. "No." he breathed, but he had no time to launch himself out of the way before the attack could hit him. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him just as the blast was about to hit him. Sailormoon didn't make a single sound as the attack hit her straight in the chest and she fell back into Jack's arms, unconscious. She didn't open her eyes again. "Noooooooooo!!! Serena!" Jack screamed, catching her in his arms. A strange light appeared in the middle of his forehead, than a shape resembling the crescent moon-identical to that of Serena and Rini's-shifted into place on the center of his forehead. ***************************************************************************** "Mmmm...I wonder what that light is?" Atermis said, he looked out the window and stared at the strange pole of light that had radiated out from the heart of Tokyo. All the other girls, including Luna gathered around Raye's room window and stared out at the strange pentacle of light. "I feel a bad vibe." Lita whispered. "Deja vu. I've seen this same thing happening before..." Mina muttered, under her breath and stared out the window. Behind her, Amy was equally puzzled "Something big must have happened..." Raye shook her head. "Let's go and check it out!" MARS STAR POWER MERCURY STAR POWER JUPITER STAR POWER VENUS STAR POWER ******************************************************************************* "Open your eyes, Serena! Damn you Serena! What did you do that for?" Jack cried, unaware of the light that had suddenly radiated out from him. Sailormoon did not stir. Jack didn't notice the monster preparing to attack again. But luck was on his side, before the blast could hit it's target, a rose suddenly appeared and embedded itself into the monster's thick fur, stopping the monster momentarily. "Move!" Tuxedo Mask shouted from the roof. He didn't ask any questions; He had no time to. Jack didn't move. A power seemed to have engulfed his entire body, and as he looked down a strange light encircled him and Sailormoon, taking them away into another world, another dream... ******************************************************************************** "Where am I?" Jack gasped. He looked down and saw Sailormoon beginning to stir at his feet. "Serena!" he shouted, too happy for words. Suddenly a wave of emotions washed over him and he swept her up in his arms. "Are you okay?" he asked, hugging her tight. Sailormoon shook her head in a daze "What happened? I...I don't remember." Jack didn't answer, what Sailormoon had just said had brought him back to his original question. *Where were they?* "I don't know Serena." Was all he said. Together they looked around at their surroundings. It was dark, eerie and isolated, like a once romantic city engulfed by death. It reminded Sailormoon strangely of a memory parallel to this, only she couldn't quite remember. "What are we going to do?" Sailormoon asked. Jack sighed. "Let's just get out of this place." "To where?" "Just anywhere by here." Jack said but he couldn't find the strength in his heart or his body to move. Together he and Sailormoon settled down on a piece of rock and waited... Hours passed, or so it seemed, Sailormoon didn't know how long but suddenly she realized that sunlight was slowly washing over this ghost of a world. Bathing the whole death paradise in pale golden rays. Before the lack of light had prevented her from seeing this city carefully, yet now as the raised above the horizons and light spilled over the landscape, she could see at last remains of the city; it lay in ruins at her feet. "God." She breathed. "Oh go-god." She choked on her last words as she realized where they were. The moon kingdom. "Serena? What's the matter?" Jack asked, as he saw the tears streaming down Serena's face. "It's the moon kingdom." Sailormoon whispered under her breath. "That's right, Serenity. This was your home." A voice said out of the foggy dimness of the early evening. Than slowly, as if in a dream, a figure emerged; beautifully dressed and floated towards them. "Mother?" Sailormoon gasped, recognizing the figure. Queen Serenity nodded, than she turned to Jack. "We are united at last, ;alskdjf. As a family." She took both Sailormoon and Jack's hands and placed them together with her own. "Mother!" Sailormoon gasped. Queen Serenity smiled at her daughters initial reaction "I am not surprised that you do not know you had a brother, Serenity." "Are you saying that Jack is..." Her voice trailed off as she looked over at Jack, who was listening in a trance like state. Queen Serenity nodded. "That's right, Serenity. Before you were born, in a time when the moon kingdom had blossom into a growing world of prosperity and magic, i discovered that i was blessed with a son. When Armistice was born, the whole country rejoiced for it's prince." She looked at Jack. "You were such an intelligent baby, you never cried and we could tell from a very young age that you would possess great power." She sighed, "It wasn't until you were 3, did we realize that you were different from the former generation of the royal family. You were the healer." "The healer?" Sailormoon was puzzled, but as she turned her head again to look at Jack, he was looking shyly back at her. "Yes. The healer. Our messiah and alongside Serenity, one of the most powerful beings across the Silver Millennium." Jack shook his head in amazement. "God..." It was the first time he had spoke ever since the beginning of Queen Serenity's tale. "And than what happened?" Sailormoon asked, she was eager to hear the rest of the story. "Than, god blessed me with an extraordinary child, the future queen of the moon kingdom if it had survived, you-Serenity." She looked at Sailormoon with great sadness. "On the same day of your birth, Victorilia was born. She was to be the future queen of darkness, and our mortal enemy. Immediately, all royal advisers sensed the beginning of a battle, a war that could potentially wipe out the moon kingdom along with the rest of the inhabitants." She sighed, her eyes glazing over as she allowed her mind to flow back in her sea of memories. "Armistice was sent away immediately, we couldn't leave the kingdom unguarded, and with the knowledge that Armistice harnessed great powers. We were determined to train him into a powerful warrior." She looked at Sailormoon "Serenity, you were only a child than, barely two years old when a decade long war broke out between the moon kingdom and Alphise, a near by solar system and soon all the planets across the silver Millennium was in battle." She continued " Armistice returned, fully trained and joined the battle against the Alphise" Her blue eyes twinkled in the memory "We won the battle and the Aphalise along with their Child Queen Victorialia was banished, never to be seen again." She turned to Jack and said very softly "You died in that battle." Than she turned to Sailormoon "That's why you never met your brother." "Oh god." Tears glistened in Sailormoon's eyes. She looked at Jack, he was shaking. Reaching out, she took his hands in hers and squeezed. "We're a family." She whispered, forcing a smile. Jack nodded "Hi sis." Seeing the sad smile on Sailormoon's face, a lump suddenly came into his throat. The moment he'd been waiting for all his life had came at last. At last. He was a part of the Silver Millennium, the Healer. "And now, you must return to the real world and awaken to your powers. You must help Serenity and the rest of the Senshi's fight the upcoming war." Queen Serenity said and than she was gone. Just like that and all that was left behind was the remains of a city in ruins. "Mother!" Sailormoon cried out, she fell onto her knees, sobbing and weeping for her past and destiny. A hand touched her shoulder and patted it. "It's okay Serena-From now on, we'll fight together." Jack said from behind her. Sailormoon looked up, tears fresh in her eyes "Are you ready to join the battle, Jack?" Jack nodded "I've never been so ready before." ********************************************************************************** Meanwhile, back in reality... "Hurry! I have a feeling the enemies are up to no good!" Luna gasped as he ran alongside the rest of the Sailor Scouts. The rest of the scouts remained silent, but inside they had a feeling that something big had just happened, something that could potentially change the course of their whole lives. And they didn't know if it was good or bad. And than they were there. "Sailormoon!" The scouts all cried when they saw their beloved friend laying like a broken china doll in Jack's arms. Tuxedo Mask was just running off the roof towards Sailormoon and Jack. No one notice the monster preparing it's ultimate attack. "Watch it!!!" Sailor Mercury was the only one who notice the monster gathering his power, in time. MERCURY BUBBLE BLAST! For a moment, the whole world became a mass of bubbles, which blocked the monster's aim and his attack was diverted towards a wall. MARS FIRE SURROUND JUPITER THUNDER CRASH VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE Combining all their mightiest attacks into one tight ball of energy, the three scouts released their power and the attack flew towards the monster in a series of tremendous blasts. The monster died, shriveling into a heap of ashes. "Oh lord, Sailormoon!" Venus cried, and the along with the rest of the other scouts rushed to Sailormoon's side. ***************************************************************************** "Serena!" Jack half opened his eyes and the strange dream he'd had of Sailormoon and a beautiful angel faded away. Someone was calling Serena's name. He opened his eyes until he could focus on Sailormoon's face this time. Her eyes were closed; she wasn't healed. He realized. "It's you." Jack said finally when he saw Tuxedo Mask's face, in front of his. He never doubted for once after seeing all of Sailormoon's friends and Sailor scouts in the flash that Serena's overprotective boyfriend was infact the dashing Tuxedo Mask. "What are you doing here?" Tuxedo Mask asked immediately after recognizing Jack's face as the guy who had attempted at hurting Serena. (remember, he doesn't know that Jack knows everything yet) "I am as part of this group as you are now." Jack said simply. Sailor Mars stepped forward from her place with the other scouts "What do you mean?" Jack sighed, he was too exhausted to explain his dream of Queen Serenity and his past. "I'll explain later." He said finally. "He knows our identities?" Tuxedo Mask was aghast. Sailor Mercury now stepped forward "It's a long story, Tuxedo Mask." Silence lapsed and suddenly an image of Sailor moon's frail body in Jack's arms leapt into his mind. "Serena! Serena!" Tuxedo Mask cried, turning back to his princess. He was desperate. NO! NO! He wouldn't let this happen to his Serena, not Serena, not his princess. He felt as though he's heart was about to give way. "God damn it, Serena Open your eyes!" He didn't care if anyone found out their real identities, he didn't care if all the others present could see a thin layer of tears brimming on the surface of his eyes. He didn't care. All he cared at that instant was that the person he cared for most in the world was hurt. He lifted Sailor moon's body from Jack's arms and into his own. "Oh god, please don't leave me now Serena." Tuxedo Mask whispered under his breath, as he struggled to check Sailor moon's pulse and breathing. "Not now Serena, not after all this!" her breathing was very shallow, almost undetectable, and her pulse was extremely unsteady. "Please Serena. Do this for us. You can't die on me now." Tuxedo Mask begged. He was exhausted, but he can't let go now. Not if Serena's life depended on it. He had to keep on going, Tuxedo Mask knew, if Sailormoon died now. A part of him will disintegrate and die with her. He knew he couldn't live without her, maybe if he'd never met her, it'll be okay, he'll be able to let go. But not now, not after he'd met that special side of hers. Scooping Sailormoon up in his arms, he pushed pass Jack and the other scouts and forgetting all else, made for a way for help. "Tuxedo Mask!" Sailor Mercury called after him. And than again, with his real name this time so he could absorb the reality "Where are you going? Sailormoon is not an ordinary human and you know it! You can't just run out with her in your arms! Imagine the scene you'll make." Jupiter and Venus ran up to stop him and Jack quickly took Sailormoon from his arms. "Get your hands off her!" Tuxedo Mask shouted, he was furious. Jack ignored him, he looked down at the body of Sailormoon, his sister, his blood- she lay in his arms, her head thrown back and her arms dangling. *What do I do now mother?" Than a voice whispered in his head. *Remember Armistice, you are the healer..." Mother! Jack grasped at the image of her in his mind, but somehow she seemed to fade further and further away from him. *I am the healer* Jack repeated to himself. What can i do? Than he realized. Heal Sailormoon, heal my sister and heal the hope of the upcoming era. But how? He didn't know, but if his sister's life depended on it, he was determined to try. "Leave her to me." He said at last, his gaze pierced Tuxedo Mask's eyes. Tuxedo Mask stopped struggling. "I don't trust you." Jack moved a step closer to Tuxedo Mask with Sailormoon in his arms "Then you must believe me. I mean no harm." He sighed "Now. We must get to a place where no outsiders can see us." Tuxedo Mask didn't say anything, he knew it would be unwise to object, he had to make the decision which he thought was right and however much he disliked Jack, he had to take the chance that he might be the only one who'd be able to save Serena's life. "My apartment." He said at last. ******************************************************************************* Gathered together at Darien's apartment, the scouts had detransformed and were now discussing the strange series of events that had happened those past few weeks. "How is she?" Amy asked, when she noticed Luna coming out of Darien's room. Luna sighed. "I think we'll have to ring her parents and tell them that she won't be able to make it home tonight." Amy nodded and agreed to do it. Lita stepped forward "Is it really that bad?" she asked. Luna nodded. "I don't know what that Jack is going to do, but i sure hope he know what he's doing." "I just don't understand. Who is he?" Mina was inpatient. "Is it wise to trust him?" Raye nodded, her long silence broken "We mustn't underestimate who he is, but-" She paused. "I have a feeling he may be the new alliance, the great fire had promised us." ****************************************************************************** Heal. *I'm the healer.* Jack repeated again to himself, he tried to steady his hands as he placed the palm of his hands gently over Sailormoon's forehead. Darien was beside him, holding Sailormoon's hands in his own. "You care a lot about her." Jack said through closed eyelids as he struggled to gather the miracle of his powers towards the palm of his hands. Darien looked up. He was amused at Jack's words. "So do you." He said at last. Jack nodded slightly. "Yes, but in a different way." "What do you mean?" Darien asked, he curiosity was beginning towards edge of being able to answer that question. "You'll know, sooner or later." Jack said at last. He wasn't sure if now was the time for confessions. At that instant, a sudden surge of energy rushed through his body and he had to keep his hands from shaking. *God* He had never known such power before. The energy that pulsed through him was beyond anything he'd ever experienced before. At last, when his pulse was calm again and he felt the gentle waves of energy surging through his palm and into Sailormoon's body, he knew that the healing process was finally underway. He relaxed and closed his eyes, letting the serene tranquility wash over him. But not for long, soon he opened his eyes again and looked up at Darien. "You know, me and you are two very similar beings." He said. Darien was silent. He was unsure of what Jack meant, yet even as he was watching the strange boy bent over the body of Sailormoon, he could feel a scent of Justice coming from him. Could he be trusted? Darien wasn't sure but somehow he hadn't the strength to object. "We were both two very lonely people before we met a girl who changed the course of our lives." Jack continued. "And now-" He paused, unsure of himself and the path his following words would lead him. Yet his heart told him that trust was what he needed now. "Our missions are united." End of Chapter 8---------------------------------------------------------------- Serena is healed! Sailor soldiers meet the Sailor Starlights. More on Serena and Darien and Serena and Seiya.
