Darien knew he shouldn't interrupt her thought; she was really worried about their new enemy. Before she would worry, but never this much. "Come on, Serena." She looked up at him. He held her chin in his hand. "Don't worry so much. Today is supposed to fun. We'll figure our new enemy out later, K?" She smiled and nodded.  They walked along the path, Serena resting her head against Darien's shoulder. Suddenly, a cloud of black formed and started swirling around. There appeared Hanol. Serena gasped and Darien jumped in front of her. Hanol smiled. "Hello, handsome. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Hanol, Queen of the Dark Galaxy. I'm sorry, but I need your girlfriend for a moment." "Never! You stay away from her!" Darien knew exactly what she was going to do to Serena. He saw how much in pain the girl she attacked last night was, he couldn't bear to see Serena end up like that. Hanol sighed. "Oh well, I guess I have to do this the hard way." She put out her hand in front of her and pointed it in Darien's direction. Suddenly he felt a feeling come over him. He couldn't move! "I can't move! Run, Serena! RUN!" he called out to her. "No, Darien, I'm not leaving you!" she cried. Then Hanol pointed her hand at Serena. Serena felt her lose control of her body. It almost floated over to Hanol.  She couldn't stop it! As soon as she reached her, Hanol grabbed Serena. She could move again. Serena started to struggle. Hanol had an arm around Serena's waist and neck.  "Leave her alone!" cried Darien, for it was the only thing he could do. Hanol looked and smiled at him. "She's worth that much to you?" she asked Darien.  Then she looked at Serena. " In that case, I'll just take your heart here. I want your boyfriend to see you go." And she laughed. Hanol put her hand over Serena's heart and then... "Mars Celestial Fire Surround!" Hanol gasped and threw Serena to the ground. Darien could move again. He transformed into Tuxedo Mask. "Moon Cosmic Power!" She cried She transformed into Sailor Moon in front of Hanol. She had to help her friends. "So your that little Brat!" said Hanol. "Why should I bother now? Don't worry, Sailor Moon, I'll be coming back for you, soon." She laughed and disappeared. Everyone ran up to Serena to see if she was okay. "Oh my god! Serena! Are you okay!?!" they asked. "I'm fine, guys. Really. It's really good that you guys came." Darien looked a little sad. They all transformed back to normal. Darien took Serena's hand. "Can I talk to you, alone?" he asked. She nodded. They walked away from the girls and sat down on a bench. "I need to tell you something." "What?" "When we were attacked, I was so afraid for you.  I tried to save you, but couldn't. I'm supposed to protect you, and I failed you." "You didn't fail, Darien." "Yes I did." "No, you didn't." he looked at her. "Darien, you tried your hardest to save me, that's all that matters. By risking your life to protect me, Darien, that's more than I could ever want! " " I know, but I feel that when I don't protect you, a part of me hurts. Yeah, I tried. But if the scouts didn't come, you could... you could be..." he couldn't even finish what he wanted to say. "I know, Darien." She put her arms around him in a hug. "I know." He gently took her hands and placed them in his. He leaned forward and gently kissed her. She returned the kissed by placing her hands on his chest and then slowly moved it up to his neck. When he pulled away. He looked into her eyes and placed his forehead to hers. "I don't know what I would do without you, Serena. " "Nor I you." " I will always protest you at any costs. I swear it." She smiled at his words. "We will always be together." And with that he wrapped his arms around her as they turned to watch the sunset. Hanol was pacing in the dimension right by her crystal pool. There she saw that girl and that guy watching the sunset. "That girl is Sailor Moon. I need to get her. But how?" she continued to pace. She then stopped suddenly. "I know! The next time I steal a heart, she'll be there. I'll get her then. Sailor Moon, prepare. The next battle will be your last."
