Arrgh! Combine moving into a new apartment with a bad case of writers block and you get one frustrated writer @_@. But my boxes are unpacked and that pesky writer's block is taken care of. (*hiding the hammer in the broom closet* ^_^) Sooooo....on with the story! _________________________________________________________________________ Title: "Sailor Moon: Past Vs. Future" By: Time Guardian Part Five Rated: PG Thoran stared at the familar form of Sailor Pluto. Anger welled up in Thoran's throat. *Well, well. My sister is here to interfere again....* "You order ME to surrender?" Thoran said incredulosly, "In the name of my master, Sirus, you will DIE, Time Bitch!" Pluto eye's widened in recognition. *Sirus! So that's who is doing this!* Thoran smiled and brought his hands together, glowing with dark power. Aiming his power towards Sailor Pluto, he saw the shock on her face. He smiled. "Yes dear sister, I have switched my allegiances. Victory will be mine, and nothing will stand in my way! Not even you!" Serena's eyes widened. *He's Pluto's Brother?!* Thoran fired a dark enery beam at Pluto. Pluto ducked behind a tree, the beam missing her only by inches. She looked towards Thoran with sadness. *What can I do? He IS my brother, but I must protect the Princess!* Pluto walked towards Thoran. *Maybe if I can talk to him...* "By the Gods, Thoran, what has happened to you? Brother, in all the time that I have known you, you have never taken orders from another. You are not Evil! Sirus has warped your mind!" Pluto turned and pointed at Serena. "She is the catalyst for a positive future, Thoran. Destroy her, and you will change the future you know!" "The only thing I value now is POWER. Sirus has promised me control of Tokyo if I help him. He has the power to take over this miserable planet! Tokyo will be mine--and if I have to destroy a few lives in the process....SO BE IT!" Thoran fired his dark beam at her again. Pluto dived to the ground and rolled out of the beam's path. Looking up at Thoran, she shook her head sadly. "You give me no choice...." Picking her staff up from where it had fallen, she stood up and pointed her staff at Thoran. She whispered the words, rarely used, that would seal his fate. *I'm sorry, Brother...* "Time Distortion Execution!" Thoran's eyes widened. "Nooo........!" His cry was cut short as the attack took hold. Frozen in time and space, Thoran looked like one of the many statues scattered about in the park. Pluto walked over to Thoran's frozen form. "Sirus will pay for this, brother. I will avenge you!" ___________________________________________________________________ Freed from the creature that held him, Tuxedo Mask got to his feet, and rushed over to Serena. Serena still sat on the park bench, staring at the scene before her. She had tried to stand, but a wave of diziness and nausea forced her to sit back down. Taking the Silver Crystal from around her neck, she stared at it. It looked normal, but something about did not feel right.... Tears spilling from her eyes, she looked at Tuxedo Mask with despair and helplessness. "What is wrong with me? Darien, why can't I transform?" Serena' s voice disolved into a sob. Tuxedo Mask transformed back into Darien , then wrapped his arms around her. Serena buried her face against his chest, and continued to sob. "Prince! Princess!" Pluto walked up to the couple. "Are you both all right?" Darien looked up at her, "Something is wrong with Serena. She could not transform, and she is as weak as a kitten! Almost all of her energy is gone!" Pluto transformed back into Setsuna. "It is a long story, my Prince. The Princess' life is in grave danger, as well as the future timeline. We must meet with the others at the temple and plan our strategy." Darien nodded, stood, and extended a hand to Serena, "Let's get you to Rei's temple. Can you stand?" Serena stood on shaky legs. "Darien, I dont think I...." Her thought went unfinished, as she crumpled to the ground, unconcious. Darien paled with fear. "Serena!" He leaned over and picked up Serena's limp form. Setsuna put a hand on Darien's shoulder. "She is worse than I thought. Take her to the temple, and hurry! I will be right behind you." "What about your brother?" Darien asked. Setsuna's eyes went cold. "I will take care of that later. Right now, Serena needs us!" They rushed off in the direction of the temple..... __________________________________________________________________________________ To be continued.... (of course.
