Ok, this is my first attempt at a fanfic ,bla bla bla, you’ve heard this all before I’m sure, sailor moon and all related charachters are the properties of the guys who created this show in the related manga and the anime show, oh well on with this fanfic,,advice and comments sent back are greatly appreciated. Email me at forgoden@aol.com. This tales place after sailor moon r? In between the eps of where Darian "dumped" Serena because of his visions. This is slightly, a "what if storyline". Rated" Pg-13 for gratutious violence, Taking back the night Darkness, shadow, light, he had known them all, but today was different it was the moment of truly feeling alive, he felt…glorious. Through all his previous incarnations on this earth, none had summed up to how he felt today. Today he decided, would be the day to go back to his princess. He learned in these past few days, to ignore what his mind told him, and to follow his heart. Darian whistled the sailor moon theme song as he wondered through the street. Soon…..very soon, he would make everything right again. Serena had had enough, months of pain, months of anguish had only helped her fine lonliness, and nothing less and nothing more. It was time to move on, maybe some day things would be right again, but not today. Today she decided to embrace the night. It all finally made sense to her, all of it. Darian had acted like a total jerk to her these past few months and had never even told her why. All’s she need was a reason, or something …just something to explain what he had done to her. It was time to move to the land of oppurtunity…"America". The new world, she thought, it was a start. With her suitcase slung over her shoulder, she stepped out into a new life and a new, hopefully, beginning. Luna was too much caught in her own dreams to notice Serena walking out of the house. "It has begun…The events have somehow changed form what we expected sir, we expected Sailor Moon to always to depend on Cape Boy. But is seems like she has a backbone after all"! "Silence!…Haven’t I always told you never to voice your opinion or even say anything unless I asked you too? Now shut up and let me think of these strange turn of events". A tall muscular demonic man with spiky ,wavy hair that seemed to come from all directions that fell over his hair and into his green eyes, Azrael had never thought this might happen, either this "Sailor Moon" was a fool, or even more cunning than he had imagined. His underling, Vinneus never knew when to exactly shut up. After most of the negaverse had been destroyed after Beryl’s death, most of the troops had wanted to quit and get on with their miserable lives. But Azrael had something of a rarity among the remaining scarce troops, honor and also an inherent sense of evil. Both seemed to cancel the other quality out as he ordered the troops and formed something from them, His own elite command, born with no parents to guide him in this dark world, he had learned to depend on himself and only himself for getting the jobs done. But something was changing inside him, he was always and always will be a ..survivor. But in the process, he wanted something that few people wanted in this dark world. Friendship and also the need to dominate, definitely a man of paradoxes and oddities. For every reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction, he was both, to sum it all up, a very complicated creature. The weakest of the creatures he had met in the negaverse was Vinneus, a short wiry little creature who had no friends or allies in his war against good. A shrewd little "man" (if you could call him that) who had desires on small little things of no matter to others. That was where Azrael had come into the picture. He had found something of a friend but also a underling would obey his every command, a desperate little man who found Azrael as the tool he needed to feed his own desires into motion. One was tall, and the other was short. This in a sense, was the underlying trait that demonstrated the two’s differences. He rasped, "It’s time to proceed with the plan" . Luna woke up to something of a surprise, Serena wasn’t in the room, which meant Serena wasn’t sleeping. Where was she? Downstairs? No, that was definitely not her style to wake up early. She jumped on to the bed , and to her surprise and utter shock found a note lying in the sheets. Luna, with trembling eyes, started to read the note that was before her. "Luna, it is time for me to leave this past and all the sad reminders of what could have been. Tell the scouts I am sorry, it has to be this way. I’m sick of constantly being blamed as the source of everyone’s problems. It is time for me to live the life that I would have lived if I had never met Darian or the scouts. If you see Darian, tell him it is over , what was is dead. I am sick of waiting around for him. There are I guess…other fish in the sea. Tell the scouts they can finally live their lives free of my interference. Enclosed with this letter is the Imperium Silver Crystal, Chibi-Usa seems to have been able to use it somehow in the past and she seems the better suitor for it. I am truly sorry, but it is time for me to grow up out of this "fairy tale" and finally embrace the real world. Let the moon be your guidance, and know that I will always carry you in my heart. Serena". Luna could scarcely believe what she had just read, Serena had always depended on the scouts for her strength and in turn, the scouts depended on her for theirs. She had to find Serena, somehow, and straighten this whole mess out . She raced out the window and was about to leave, but she ran straight into Darian. "Where’s Serena , Luna?" Asked Darian. "I have no idea of where she went, but she left me this note". Darian took the note out of Luna’s mouth and read it quickly, he slammed his fist into the wall and said "Dammit! Not now, of all times not now!" and with that he raced back to his car and drove off. Luna quickly pulled herself together and raced to the Cherry Hill Temple. There she found Rei and the other scouts. ‘What’s up Luna?" asked Rei. Breathing in and out, Luna was trying to catch her breath, "Have to find Serena , have to find her, read this." Rei and the others read the note in silence and with a grim look after reading it, said "let’s go". Vinneus looked on at the situtation and smiled an evil smile, with the leader gone, his plans were being set into motion, without Serena, the scouts didn’t stand a chance against him and that fool…..Azrael. While thinkiing this he reflected on when he had set the dreams into Serena’s mind to leave everyone, on her own, Serena would never leave the others, but with his "help" she was gone-forever……He smiled wickedly at how he had brilliantly planned, at least he thought so in his own mind, of the ultimate way things were going to pass in the near future, he backed into the darkness that was called the negaverse ………To Be Continued End of prologue, I know its very short but the next chapter will be very long. I hope you enjoyed the story so far as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thanks, -Darknacht@aol.com(Eric Garrison)
