I do however own, a lot of the characters in this story. (smile) Anyway, have fun! Rated: PG Broken Hearts- Part one Once a long time ago, to be exact a 1000 years ago, there was kingdom on the moon. It was ruled by a beautiful queen named Queen Serenity who had two daughters. The youngest was the kindest person known to the human beings. She was gentle with everybody and never did any wrongs. Her name was Princess Serena. Serena had taken her extreme beauty from her mother. Her golden hair was sweeping the floor as she gracefully walked across the rooms of the beautiful moon palace. Her blue eyes were like two lakes and anyone who would look into them would drown in their deepness and sincerity. However, the second princess-Serena's older sister, was the opposite of her. Princess Serita, the heir to the moon throne was as beautiful as her younger sister. However, her beauty was not inherited from her mother- the Queen, but from her grandmother. She had beautiful green eyes and black as night hair. All of that hid a very unique individual. You see, as a princess and heir to the moon throne, Serita was expected to become a serious and gentle girl, just like Serena who came along a few years later. However, Serita was the exact opposite. She loved battles, fights...whatever had slaughter in it. She was always in a fight as a child, always protecting the innocent and fighting against evil. Even in the earlier years of her life, when her father was still alive, Serita was often taken out to battle to show her incredible power. Though not yet reached her full potential as a warrior, Serita was the strongest warrior known in the history of the moon. Her power was so incredible that it could have been easier compared to the Imperium Silver Crystal- the ultimate weapon of the moon. Since the princess was still young, the queen invented a method to control her daughter's powers. She could order them around as though they were her own. That was done for the benefit of the moon and the princess. However, as the princess grew the method was rarely used. As Serita grew up, her fights had won her a name which she considred a great honor-The Black Warrior. She was known as such across the galaxy and a planet shivered when it heard the mention of the name. Yes, the princess's name built fear into the bravest hearts of all. Serena was very powerful as well. But her powers were little comparing to those of her sister's. However, Serena was never jealous of it and loved her sister the most. As i have mentioned, the two sisters were nothing alike, but as the old saying goes 'opposites attract', it happened in this case as well. Serena and Serita were best friends. Until a girl named Ena came along. She was found outside the moon palace and claiming that she had just escaped from the Earth (then known as the enemy), she was recieved with proper manners at the palace. The Queen herself, named Ena one of Serita's ladies in waiting. Each princess had a court, Ena was added into Serita's, where Sailor Love, Sailor Justice and Sailor Fight were already stationed. Together they were called the Senshi of Honor. They were all very good friends and considered Serita not just their princess but a part of their family. The same was in Serena's court, which consisted of Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter. The four sailor did not have a name for the group and were called the Imperium Sailor Scouts. All of them were good friends as well, except for Serena and princess Mars, they were constantly bickering. At Ena's appearance everything changed. She became Serita's best friend and started taking her away from her court and her sister. She would spend days with Ena and never even talk to her family and friends. Needless to say, Serita grew attached to the girl. It didn't mean that she was not longer interested in her little sister, not at all! It's just that Ena was her age and it was more suiting for Serita to talk to somebody who was her age and could understand her. However, Serita wasn't the only one who got a new friend. Once the Queen was visiting the Earth for negotiations, she took Serena with her, so the young princess could have a little experience in the area. Soon the Earth's royal family met with the Queen and her daughter. Serenity wanted her daughter to be amazed by the customs and the manners of the people on Earth and realize that they are not very different from them, but Serena found something else to be amazed at. Prince Darrien. The oldest son of the Earth king. That was a sight to be seen, especially when the ball in the moon family's honor started, Serena and Darrien couldn't take their eyes off each other. Darrien was so impressed by the beautiful princess in front of him that he immidieatly fell in love with her, and the same could be said about Serena. However their hopes were broken when the Queen and the King declared war. While each was waiting for the other, to start the first battle, Serena and Darrien were secretly meeting every day. They had grown so much together that they could no longer wait for their parents' approval of their marriage. And that's when the war began. Not betweeen the Earth and the moon but between the two kingdoms who were trying to fight against the evil Queen Beryl. Beryl's evil forces have striken and even the Queen had trouble fighting her back. Combined they would have probably defeated the enemy, but the royal families were too proud to apologize. Serita was put as the general of the moon's army, since the real one was killed in the first battle. Tons of responsibility fell on her young and inexperienced shoulders. However, she always had a good friend to come and tell all her troubles to. Ena...her one friend that understood everything. Serita told her everything, everything she knew to be true. However, the tragedies didn't stop at that. Serita was known to disappear in the night for no apparent reason. At the same time, attacks on several neighboring kingdoms were reported. The moon populations was worried... What if the moon was next? But the most disturbing part of the reports was that the kingdoms were attacked with the force that was never seen in battle before. It was so strong that the planets that were victims, were barely remaining in one piece. Their climate has increased drastically as though the planet was about to blow up. The Queen's neighboring friends had asked her to take their people to the moon, at least for a while. Serenity agreed. But there had to be a stop to the attacks. So Serenity ordered the sailor scouts to find the great enemy. The facts that were gathered were as follows: * every single attack appeared to be for Beryl's benefit. * Princess Serita was not seen on either of the nights of the attack. * When questioned, her highness declared that she was not aware of her location at the time. Everything pointed to Serita and the people started rebelling against the royal family on the basis of betrayal. The Queen had no choice, so Serita was arrested and put into a palace surrounded by a shield as the investigation proceeded. The sailors couldn't wait to blame everything on the oldest princess. Their dislike of her and her dislike of them was known everywhere. But the sailors would never accuse anyone of destroying planets without real facts proving it. So the people believed and blamed the princess. However the Sailors of Honor did not give up. Against the Queen's orders they proceeded with their own investigation, not telling anybody about it. Soon Serita's court found some interesting facts as well. They had the person that was to blame, but they couldn't prove anything...unless, Princess Mars would use her mind reading powers. The Martian princess was known for her mind reading and Sailors of Honor had to turn to her if they wanted to save their princess. Sailor Mars agreed and soon the sailors (both courts) had the evidence they needed against Ena. It was presented to the Queen and Ena was arrested. When questioned, it was proven of her communication with the enemy- Beryl. Serita foolishly told her everything... even the secret of controlling her powers, that was what Ena came to the moon for. To get the secret to control the great Black Warrior. That was how Beryl could control Serita and blow up all of those planets surrounding the moon- her main target. Serita was proven innocent and was released. At the same time a ball was given in the honor of her release. In war time a ball is not a small thing. It was the first one after the beggining of the war and the moon people waited impatiently for it. The Queen considered it unneccesary to inform Serita about Ena's arrest, so it remained a secret. It was for a simple reason...Serita would kill a traitor, even if it was her own family. And she would obviously kill Ena too, which wasn't such a bad idea, but Serenity needed the information from her about the enemy so Ena was needed alive. However, during the ball Ena escaped the guards who were questioning her in the dungeon, and storming through several rooms of the moon palace she suddenly entered one full of people in beautiful dresses and costumes. The ballroom...Everything went quiet, as Ena started making her way toward the huge door. None dared to touch her, to reveal to Serita that she was guilty of something. Only the Queen, realizing that Serita was not currently in the room, stood up and said: 'What are you doing here? How dare you to even come in here? Go back to the guards before i will crush you like the snake you are!' 'I'm not afraid of you! I did what i was trained to do all my life...LIE! You and your pathetic kingdom will be destroyed by your daughter's hand! How would you like that? Huh?' Suddenly whispers quieted down as the heir to the throne entered the room. Behind her was Serena trying to prevent her from coming in. As soon as Serita saw Ena she smiled: 'There you are, i was looking all over the palace for you.' Ena's face flashed with a vicious smile 'You didn't tell her?' she faced Serenity. The Queen turned pale and as though feeling guilty she lowered her head. 'Tell me what?' asked Serita wondering about the room cluelessly. She didn't understand why people looked at her with such great...sadness...as though they were feeling sorry for her. 'Tell me what mother?'Serita's question was more determined this time and Serenity raising her head answered: 'My daughter...what i am about to tell you...you must not take any action...' 'What is it?' 'Ena is the one responsible for your attacks on the neighboring kingdoms. She had stolen the secret of your powers and gave it to Beryl. She is a spy for the enemy, Serita. She stole the secret way and...' 'She didn't steal it...'Serita said quietly. Everyone knew that it was just a slight breeze before the hurricane. Serena who standing behind her sister with her eyes full of tears, saw how Serita shed a few of her own. Serena didn't cry because of the fact that they were doomed, but because of the pain that was being caused to her sister. 'What?' wondered Serenity. 'She didn't steal it...'repeated Serita. Moments later she raised her head, looking straight at Ena with her eyes full of tears and her voice shaking she added: 'I gave it to her...' 'Well, that was pretty stupid wasn't it?' sarcastically answered Ena. She obviously didn't care for life. 'Yes, it was...it was...' Everyone knew what was going to happen now. So mothers closed the eyes of their children and looked away themselves. 'Serita, don't!' shouted Serenity, but it was too late. Raising her head, Serita crossed her arms as lightening hit Ena. A tear fell from Serita's cheek while Ena's body was turning into ashes. With a scream Ena was gone. Serena looked away at the terrible sight, of the suffering in flames Ena. However, the girl was a traitor and she had to be destroyed before she delivered any other information to Beryl. That was how Ena died...but her death did not correct the mistake that she made by giving Beryl the secret of Serita's powers. Beryl could still control the princess and she could still use her powers to destroy her kingdom...the moon. Realizing all this Serita could no more hold in her tears, but she couldn't show the people that she was crying over a traitor,...even though that traitor was her best friend. The princess turned around and ran away. 'Serita!' sobbed Serena, but she couldn't stop her sister. She was about to follow her. 'Serena...' said Serenity...'leave her...she needs time.' Serena obeyed. She wiped off the tears on her cheeks and joined her mother at the throne. The ball continued as though nothing interrupted it...because noone knew what was going on in the heart of the moon general. Serita was sitting in the garden under the tree, where she used to play with Serena when they were little and later on where she used to tell Ena her deapest secrets. That was the place where she told her everything...that was the place where she made a terrible mistake, that would cost her her future. Realizing that Beryl could strike using her powers any day and that if she wants to protect her family and her kingdom...she will have to get away from Beryl's control...find someplace where she can't find her...somewhere safe...somewhere... safe...But the thought of leaving her kingdom, her mother...Serena ...that was more then Serita could bare. She could kill herself, but she needed to live...to someday come back and help Serena, but for now she had to leave...the sooner the better. So Serita called her court-The Sailors of Honor and told them of the situation, she said that she will go to the future...there Beryl has no control. The senshi said that they will accompany the princess in her journey and her further adventures. Serita ordered them to stand down and stay here, to protect the princess and the queen. 'You ARE the princess, my lady...and we were sworn to protect you, that is why whatever you say can never make us stay. We are not princesses of different planets like the Sailor scouts. We are mere soldiers...our lives are not important, but yours is...and we will never leave your side.' said Sailor Justice. After that Serita gave up and decided that they will depart to the Gate of Time at midnight, so nobody will see them. She told them to keep everything a secret; the court agreed. Now there was the painful part...saying good bye to her family. She couldn't tell them that she was going away because they would have done everything in their power to stop her...especially Serena. Thinking of how can she part with her sister, Serita walked around the palace, then she headed into the garden where she found her little sister. Serena was sleeping in the same place where just a few hours ago Serita made the hardest decision of her life. Coming up to her, Serita looked at her angel like features. Needless to say Serena was beautiful and Darrien would have been a fool not to have fallen in love with her (Serita knew everything about the romance). But how could she say good bye to this angel...tell her that she will never see her again...how can she tell her that she is going away? That she will have no sister? That she is the heir to the throne now? That the Serita she knew is dead?... Serita didn't know the answers to the so many questions that were trying to tear up her mind. Suddenly, she caught sight of the necklace that she was wearing. It was the royal necklace in a shape of a moon...whoever wore it was the heir to the moon throne. Serita gently took it off and placed it in Serena's lap. But that wasn't enough... she wanted to say something to her...get a last hug...a last kiss... 'Serena...' With her eyes closed and half asleep Serena answered: 'Ye...' Serita smiled. 'If i would ever have to go away...would you still love me...even though I won't be there to help you or play with you...would you still love me?' 'Of course..'mumbled Serena 'I'll always love you Serita...' Tears started sliding down the Black Warrior's cheeks, she tried to keep her sobs in and after a minute when it was obvious that Serena went back to sleeping Serita added: 'And I will always love you...Serena...' She could no longer look at her so kissing Serena on the forehead, Serita turned away and ran into the palace. I would like to point out that Serita never wore the clothes that she was supposed to wear- princess clothes. Dresses, make-up and all that feminine stuff was not for the Black Warrior. Her everyday outfit (fighting outfit) consisted of a short black skirt, high heel boots, black gloves and a black top. This outfit was considered very vulgar on the moon, but then again Serita couldn't very well fight in her princess clothes...so she got clothes that were matching with her nickname. Plus she gave a damn about what people think of her. Serita and her court, left exactly at midnight and headed for the Gate of Time where Sailor Pluto waited for them. The guardian already knew of their plan and had prepared the necessary things that they will need in the future. As the senshi were one by one entering the gate, Serita turned around and took a last look at her planet...the moon...how she wanted to go back there...to hug Serena and spend the rest of her life just like it was before...she wanted to be as happy as she used to be... but then she remembered that if she'll stay, her people will never know happiness... they will be destroyed by her...their princess. With this thought Serita turned around and jumped into the empty space of the Gate of Time. Pluto closed the gate behind her princess. *********************************************************** Serena woke up. She yawned and realizing that she slept through the entire night in the garden, she quickly stood up and suddenly something fell from her lap. She looked down...the royal necklace...but...And then it hit her...she remembered the late conversation that she had with her sister, quickly analyzing everything she realized that Serita was gone. She ran into the palace carrying the precious necklace. Without stopping for a breath she flew up the stairs into the wing where Serita's cuarters were located. Running through the empty corridor, making a terrible noise with her high heels, hearing snores coming from different directions, Serena felt so alone... her sister left, and there were no more friends...no real friends. She finally got to the crystal doors, she pushed with all of the strength that she had left. Behind her she could already hear noises and footsteps coming her way, but she didn't care...she had to open the door. Finally it opened and revealed an empty bedroom of the warrior princess...Serita. Serena couldn't breath. Sailor Jupiter ran into the room. The first thing she saw was the unconscious body of her princess, besides that...emptiness. Jupiter quickly understood what was going on and putting the princess over her shoulder she closed the doors and headed to find the other soldiers. Pretty soon the moon was aware of the sacrifice that their princess made for her people. Serena walked into the throne room, where her mother was crying. The rest of her court and the rest of the moon high society were already there. Serena had just recovered from her unconciocenes and decided to explain everything to her mother in person. The Queen looked up as soon as she heard the door open, she wiped of her last tears and stood up. Serena came up to her with the royal necklace in her hands. Serenity understood everything. She took the necklace from Serena's hands and brought it to her cheek. It was as though she could still feel the warmness of Serita's body on it...as though she was just holding it a second ago...as though she is still holding and will hold it forever. A few tears dropped on the crystal surface of the gem in the necklace. Serenity put herself together and announced: 'Ladies and gentlemen...Princess Seritany is gone, she sacrificed her future for our cause. Leaving this necklace behind she let me know that she is no longer the candidate for the moon throne, so i give you your new heir...Princess Serenity...you future Queen!' Serenity put the necklace on Serena's thin neck. There was no joy in this ceremony...why should there be? She was wearing the thing that belonged to her sister...not to her. As people congratulated Serena she became sadder by the minute. Serenity knew exactly how her daughter felt. But to Serena's surprise Darrien and the Earth King were there. The Earth and the moon had finally decided to join forces, so the rulers of the Earth went to the moon to meet with the queen and give her their condolences in regard to her daughters disappearance. Darien knew Serita well, since she was always the one who helped with their secret meetings on Earth or on the Moon. If anything ever went wrong, Serita would take the blame for it and every time she did Darrien's respect and family love for her grew stronger and stronger. And now that she was gone, he too could understand the terrible feeling that was torturing Serena. However, there was no time for that since the Queen (even though in no mood) decided to give a ball in the honor of the Earth King and prince who had finally decided to join them in battle. Now victory was guaranteed. Darrien asked Serena for a last dance before he would go off into war against Beryl. It was what Serena always wanted...being there...on the moon, with Darrien...her love, not having their parents object to it. Everything seemed so perfect...but it wasn't. Serita was no longer a part of that perfect picture and that broke their hearts. 'Serenity...' whispered Darrien. 'Endymon...' she looked up. Her blue eyes met his one's. In the corner of his eyes she could see a little tear. 'Oh, Darrien...' Serena put her head against his shoulder as they danced their last dance.... That was when the evil queen attacked. Luna and Artemis- the two guardian cats, ran through the ballroom shouting that Beryl is attacking. The army was not ready and soon most of the moon's defenses were destroyed. The Earth army was blasted back while trying to help the moon. Finally Beryl herself appeared. Serenity was standing in front of the palace looking at the battle. Her people were dying... 'It's you turn Serenity...' growled Beryl. She shot at the queen but the Earth King jumped in front of Serenity, thus shielding her and dying in her place. "FATHER!!!!' shouted Darrien. He tried to reach him in time but couldn't. The King fell onto Serenity's lap. 'Why?...' sobbed Serenity. 'You know why...' answered the King and died. 'NO!!!!' shouted Serenity...'My love...noooooo....' Beryl smiled as though she just did something wonderfully pleasant. She saw the young prince that was trying to get to his father. Seeing how handsome he was, Beryl could not be indifferent. She knew who the boy was. 'Prince Darrien!' Darrien's angered face turned toward her. 'Join me...'said Beryl. 'and i will give you anything you want!' Darrien created a vague smile. 'What I want is for you to suffer for the rest of your LIFE!!!!!' he shouted so loud that Beryl understood that he was serious. The anger in his eyes could not have been mistaken for anything else. 'All right...then say your good byes to your little princess over there.' Serenity was sobbing over the King's body as Beryl aimed for the moon princess- Serena. She shot at her and would have killed her but Darrien jumped in front of Serena. The same way his father did a few moments ago to save someone he loved. Serena gasped as Darrien fell down. 'NOOOO!!!! Darrien!' She fell down near the body of her lover and bringing him up to her chest said: 'Darrien....noo....please don't leave me...you can't...' 'I love you....Meatball head...' with these words Prince Darrien died. 'NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!' sobs racked Serena's body. Where was Serita now when she needed her the most? Where was she? But that was not the thought that was going through Serena's mind. Serenity brought her head up from the dead body of the Earth King, to see her daughter quickly grab Darrien's knife. 'Serena, DON'T!!!!!!!' but is was too late, Serena pierced the knife through her chest, falling on top of Darien she whispered: 'I'm sorry...' Serenity could not believe her eyes. Her daughter was dead and so was her beloved. She never did get the chance to tell him how much she loved him and how she was wrong when 30 years ago she refused to marry him on the basis of not wanting to unite the two kingdoms. 'How ironic...'said Beryl. 'Father and son die for the same thing...love. I am disgusted. You knew i was right Serenity when i told you 30 years ago that love just hurts people! Now you know how much pain i went through when my only love pledged his entire soul to YOU!...'Beryl added a disgusted look on the last word. 'That day i swore that i will kill you. And here i am, standing above you waiting for the right moment to end your misery. By the way as soon as i am done with you, i'll make sure that your first daughter doesn't get away....the moon family will be WIPED OUT!!!!!!HA HAHA HA HA!!!' evil laughter shook the emptiness of outer space. The Queen left her lover's body and ran toward Serena's. But the princess was already dead. Serenity didn't blame her. She knew how much she loved Darrien and felt guilty that because of a stupid dispute with the Earth King she couldn't let her daughter meet with the man she loved. But it was all too late. Beryl laughed as loud as she could. She was made of pure evil...negaforces were running through her veins and her eyes filled with red...with blood. The sailor scouts were falling down one by one, trying to save their kingdom, to protect what was left of the royal family. Serenity could no longer stand this. There was one way to save the one's she loved and it would cost her her life, but she didn't care. She didn't care for anything anymore...just for saving them she would have given her soul away. Fortunately, the answer required only her life. One of the tears slid down her cheek and froze in the air. 'Imperium Silver Crystal!' shouted Serenity. The tear turned into a small gem...a crystal. The legendary weapon of the moon. Serenity inserted the gem into the Moon Wand and raised it above her. 'Your magesty! Wait!' shouted Luna and Artemis, the two guardian cats. Serenity put down the wand. 'Luna! Artemis! I thought the blast got you!' 'We barely escaped. But where is the princess?' Serenity lowered her head in the direction of Darrien's and Serena's bodies. Luna gasped and turned away as Artemis shielded her from the terrible sight of the dead princess. 'The princess is dead...' whispered Serenity.'Luna and Artemis, you have been my friends for the longest time. I need you to do something for me. I will trap the enemy in the light of the crystal and send the crystal to Earth in the future. Princess Serena, Prince Darrien and the Sailor Scouts will travel to the Earth with the enemy. After a thousand years all of them will be reborn on Earth with no memory of the moon kingdom whatsoever. I need YOU two to guide them to the past and show them who they were and what are they up agaisnt. You will unite the sailors and defeat Beryl once more. That is the only way i can make this work...' 'Serenity!' shouted Beryl. 'Prepared to go down with your little Serena and your beloved?' Serenity looked up and grasped the moon wand harder not showing it to Beryl. You see, there was a huge blast in the palace, exactly in the place where the crystal was usually kept. So obviously Beryl thought it to be destroyed or else she would have never dared to attack. But Serenity took it out to name Serena the heir to the mon throne, so basically Serena's becoming the future queen saved the crystal. The Queen knew that she can defeat Beryl and Beryl had no idea what was coming. 'I am as prepared as you are!' 'Well that's too bad...DIE, MOON QUEEN!!!!!!' Beryl shot at Serenity. Quickly taking out the Crystal Serenity shouted: 'Cosmic Moon POWER!!!!' Black light met the undefeated white. 'NO!!!! It's can't be! NOOOOOOO!!' shouted Beryl. She finally realized the terrible mistake that she had done. Serenity shouted: 'For my daughters! For my love! For my kingdom!' A huge burst of pink light....and then quiet. 'Your majesty?' Luna scratched off the silver hair off Serenity's forehead. The Queen opened her eyes. In her hands was the Imperium Silver Crystal. She looked into Luna's eyes, as the cat nodded. 'We'll do it...'said Luna. 'Thank you...' whispered Serenity. She raised the hand in which she had the crystal and said: 'Silver Crystal, use your powers once more and deliver my daughter, her court and her beloved to Earth.' than turning to Luna added, 'Make sure that the princess doesn't know anything about this when she awakens. She needs to remember everything by herself. But you have to unite the sailors so that they can defeat Beryl who is also trapped in the crytal and will be reborn as well- i have no power over that. All i want is for my daughter to be happy...' 'She will be,' answered Luna. They were put into a capsule and attached to the crystal. Serenity watched the gem become smaller and smaller as it drafted away from her. She was now all alone on a planet with no kingdom. She looked at the crystal and remembered Serena's laugh: 'Good bye, Serena. Be happy...i hope we'll meet again...' with these words Serenity died surrounded by pieces of her kingdom. It was over....all over..... ********************************************************* Serita knew nothing about the fight. She was now in the future. But it was not the same Serita, that defended with justice. This was a Serita that defended innocent with vengeance. She killed everything that was in her way as though expressing her sadness and grief over leaving her loved once, in battle. She chopped off heads and killed people without even giving them a trial. She became an executioner. Her motto used to be 'I fight with justise for justice!' now it was 'I fight with vengeance to destroy those who try to stop me in my path!' There was no more Princess Serita...there was only the Black Warrior and her broken heart....... To be continued... So, what'd you think? Hope you like it. As i was saying this is NOT the last story.
