All in the Hands of Fate and Destiny-chapter 8 By-Danielle Rating-pg gee, look who finally wrote again ^^;;;; I've made a small change in the story to make it easier on me. First off, lets just pretend Darien's parents and Serena's mom left that night to go visit some other royals. Disclaimers: characters aren't mine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Stay low." Said Sailor Mercury. Everyone nodded their heads in understanding. "I say we just go in for the kill." Said Raye pounding her fist together. "To risky." Replied Mina "Maybe we should've gotten the guys." Stated Serena. "They'll figure it out soon enough that we're gone." "Alright" "If it isn't the five sailor brats." Came a sinister voice. "Aaron!" "Aaron" Sailor Moon whispered again "So, you remember me?" he asked, mock surprised. "How could we forget." muttered Mars as she glared at him. Aaron had fiery red hair and stone black eyes. He looked like a pure spawn of evil with the power of one to. "Hey Serena, how's your dad?" taunted Aaron, "oh that's right, I killed him." That was the end of the line. Sailor Moon lunged at him before any of the other scouts could stop her. "Ser!" screamed Venus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back in Darien's room all the guys were sleeping peacefully until a piercing scream woke them up. "Ser!" Jadeite was the first to jump up and look around. "Go back to sleep." mumbled Neflyte. "No, I herd it to." said Malachite. Darien threw a pair of pants at Jadeite while saying, "Might wanna put these on, Spotty." Jadeite looked down at his pink spotted boxers and walked away. After all of them had changed and transformed, they walked out onto the balcony to be met by something none of them expected. Mercury and Jupiter were sprawled out on the ground, both in pretty bad shape. Venus and Moon were nowhere in sight and Mars was staggering towards them. She held her side in pain then gasped out," Aaron......trying to get.....Ser....hurry!" That was all Tuxedo Mask needed to run off in the direction Mars had come from. Only Zoicite stayed behind to look after everyone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Gah!" yelled Sailor Venus as Aaron threw her across the field into the side of the palace. Sailor Moon looked at Venus in horrow then shot a powerful blast of energy at Aaron. He easily dodged it and hit her with a huge fireball while she was powering up again. The generals and Tuxedo Mask appeared and started using all their attacks on him. Aaron was getting bored and wanted to find a way out. He looked at Sailor Moon then smiled evily. Before Tuxedo Mask could run over to her, Aaron was at her side lifting her limp body. "I've always wanted to kill the most powerful princess in the universe." he said sinisterly. Darien's eyes widened and the generals just started at each other. "We've gotta do something." whispered Malachite. "And fast." added Jadeite as he glanced up at Sailor Moon. Aaron pulled out a knife just right as Serena started to wake up and put the cold blade against her neck. She was to weak to fight and all she could do was look down at everybody helplessly. From out of nowhere two silver and purple lights appeared. One knocking the knife out of Aaron's hand and the other one hitting his wrists and making him drop Sailor Moon, who Tuxedo Mask caught easily. Luna and Artemis appeared in their human forms. Luna had long, blue, curly hair, with the traditional meatballs on top. The only difference was she had to sets of meatballs and the rest of her hair flowed gently down her back. Artemis, on the other hand, had pure silver hair down to his shoulders. Each had the crescent moon emblem on their foreheads. Aaron glanced at his cut wrists then at Luna and Artemis. "I'll be back. And next time, I'll do what should have been done seven years ago." Then he disappeared into the black night. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The injuries weren't as bad as everyone had thought. Amy had a broken arm and bruised ribs, Lita's shoulder had a third degree burn on it and she had a patch over her swollen eye. Raye had a stab wound in her abdominal area and a sprained ankle, Mina had a sore back and a broken foot, and Serena had a sore neck and a small burn. All the girls had other various cuts and bruises. The silence was getting disturbing and Zoicite couldn't hold in his question any longer, "Who is Aaron?" he asked quietly. The scouts looked at each other, then at Luna and Artemis. None dared to look at Serena. After a few moments, Luna spoke. "Aaron is Beryl's son. He murdered the king seven years ago. He was actually trying to kill the princess." she continued as tears swelled up in her eyes " but the king wouldn't let that happen and fought to the death to save her. He won, but later died of the injuries he received. Until now, we assumed Aaron was dead to......" she trailed off in the end. "Well" said Serena, "I'm tired and it's late. Let's goto bed." No one else was tired but they weren't going to say anything. After Serena got up and walked out, everyone followed suit. Needless to say, it was a sleepless night. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "This wasn't supposed to happen." said Fate calmly. "Dammit!" yelled Destiny as she kicked her book across the floor. "Why didn't we see this comming!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've finally added Fate and Destiny. Ill explain more about them and their personalities in chapters 9 and 10. Also, thanks to everyone who e-mailed me last time ^_^ If it wasn't for you guys I would probably have ended the story this chapter, and that wouldv'e been boring. So, keep the e- mails comming ^.~ Btw...if any of you have palace, tell me! Danielle~
