Before they were Generals By Sailor Serenity

Chapter 15: Afraid of... What?
Zoycite did not want to move from her position standing outside Beryl's throne room with Malachite. Finally they returned to their castle. Zoycite found her book on the coffee table where she'd left it. She sat on the couch to write a new entry.
"Shouldn't you be going upstairs?" Malachite questioned.
"I just want to write something down before I go to bed." Zoycite found her pen.
"I'll stay down here with you." Malachite was still worried about Zoycite.
"Okay, I mean, you know, if you really want to," Zoycite said. Malachite sat next to her. Zoycite wrote an entry in her book:
Malachite told me he loves me. He really did, and I want to tell him that I love him, too. But I'm kind of afraid. Afraid of what? I don't really know myself. I should just tell him, right? I know I should, but somehow, for some reason I can't. I just can't.
"Are you writing a story or something?" Malachite glanced down at the book Zoycite was writing in.
"N-no. Just...something." Zoycite closed her book quickly and got up. "Well, I'm going to go up to my room. I'm really tired. Good night!" Zoycite turned and rushed upstairs.
"Good night Zoey-chan!" Malachite called after her. After a while, he got up and went up to his room. He stopped and checked in on Zoycite. He found her fast asleep with her journal in her hand. He put the journal on the table next to her bed. Then, he turned and left the room.

Chapter 16: Prepare To Attack!
"All generals report to Queen Beryl's throne room immediately!"
"Generals! We have two hours to prepare for our attack on the Kingdoms. Prepare to attack." Queen Beryl said. The four generals bowed and left the throne room to prepare for battle.
Zoycite pulled her ice sword out of the case that held all of their swords. Malachite came up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder.
"I have something for you," Malachite handed her a small box. She opened it. Inside was a thin silver chain with a smalll heart shaped charm on it. It was engraved on the back. It said:
"I will love you forever, Zoey-chan" in small letters.
Zoycite stared at the neckalce in disbelief. "It's beautiful," she said, lifting the delicate chain with a shaky hand. Malachite fastened the necklace around Zoycite's neck.
"Thank you," Zoycite whispered. Malachite smiled.
"Malachite? I have something to tell you."
"What is it Zoey?"
"I love...the necklace. A lot. Thank you so much, it means a lot to me."
Why didn't I tell him what I meant to say? Zoycite thought. I'm a coward. That's what I am. A coward who's afraid of love. I'm pathetic.
"You're welcome, Zoey-chan." Malachite noticed she looked upset. "Something wrong?"
"No. Everything's fine." Zoycite didn't dare to look him in the eye. Malachite got his own sword from the case.
They teleported to the throne room to wait until it was time to attack.

Chapter 17: Attack on the Earth Kingdom
Once all of the generals were ready to attack, Beryl stood and swung her crystal ball around them to transport them to the Earth Kingdom.
"Beryl! What are you doing here?" the guard outside the palace gate asked in surprise.
"I'm here for one reason, and one reason only. To take over the universe, starting with this pathetic little kingdom. You all will soon be in my power!" Beryl laughed wickedly. "Generals! Attack!"
The four generals attacked the guards, draining their energy. Beryl sent the first of her Seven Shadow Warriors to take the energy of the people who lived in the Earth Kingdom. She led her generals through the gates and into the Earth Palace. Zoycite created a huge fireball, which she used to burn down the door. The four generals entered the Great Earth Palace, heading straight to Endymion's throne room. Endymion did not think they had been brainwashed when he saw them enter the room.
"Generals! You've returned! What happened?"
"Save it. We are here to destroy you!" Zoycite shouted angrily.
"General Zoycite!"
"How do you know my name?"
"You don't remember? What happened to you?" Endymion asked. Just then, Beryl entered the throne room.
"Oh, Endymion!" Beryl said. She smiled wickedly. "Why don't you join us? Come fight on our side."
"No way."
"That's exactly what your generals said. But they couldn't win. And neither can you!" Beryl laughed.
"I don't care what you say."
"If you care about Princess Serenity, you will join me!"
"Leave Serenity and her kingdom alone!" Endymion was getting angry. "I won't let you hurt my princess!"
Beryl and her generals attacked, destroying everything in their path. Endymion managed to escape. He teleported to the Moon Kingdom to warn the people about the oncoming attack.

Chapter 18: Attack on the Moon Kingdom
"My Princess! The Moon is in danger!" Endymion ran to Princess Serenity who was waiting for him on the balcony.
"Endymion! What is it?"
"Beryl and the Negaverse! They've just attacked my kingdom. They're coming here next! I will stay and fight for your kingdom."
"Out of the way, Cape Boy!" Zoycite came up behind them.
"Zoycite!"
Zoycite trapped Princess Serenity, but Endymion defended her.
"I really hate to do this," Endymion attacked Zoycite. Malachite came to Zoycite's rescue, saving her from Endymion.
Endymion and Serenity ran into the main room of the palace to warn the people.
Beryl stopped them in their tracks. "You're not getting away so easily." She attacked the princess. Serenity fell to the floor of the palace.
"No!" Endymion shouted.
"Join me!"
"No! I will not join your evil plot!"
Serenity got up from the floor just as Beryl attacked Endymion.
"No! Endymion!" Serenity touched his hand and she to became unconcious.
Queen Serenity saw what had happened. The Inner Guardians of the Moon, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, and Sailor Jupiter had tried to fight Beryl but were unsuccessful.
"I can use the last of my power to save everyone. If I don't, everyone will die." Queen Serenity raised her Cresent Wand over her head.
"Queen Serenity! If you do, you will die!" Luna, the guardian cat of the moon said.
"If I don't, my daughter, my kingdom, will die. If trouble arises, you must reunite the Sailor Scouts. They will not remember anything. You will have to give them their powers."
Luna and Artemis, the second cat, watched sadly as Queen Serenity used the last of her power.
White light washed over the ruins of the kingdom. In a flash of light, everyone was sent to the future. The Negaverse was banished back to its evil demension. Queen
Serenity had used the last of her power to save her kingdom.
