ANGEL OF MINE(Part 8)
BY:JLaLa
Beryl walked through the palace with a smug vindictiveness air
surrounding her. She was getting what she had longed for and
deserved all her life. Laughing triumphantly she walked into
the throne room where a large crowd of people stood to the side.
Each watching her with calm faces but hard eyes. Across the room
stood Prince Darien, his mother to his left and his guards to his
right. The Princesses and their mothers stood next to Queen Gaia
looking at her with severe looks on each face. Beryl was surprised
to find Queen Serenity there with them. The woman had been a utter
recluse since the dark forces had destroyed her pathetic kingdom.
"Ah Queen Serenity", hissed Beryl. "It's nice to see climb of the
rubble you call a Kingdom" She laughed tossing her head back. They
knew if they said anything their pathetic planets were dead. Serenity
clenched her fist trying to hold back ramming her fist into Beryl's
sneering face.
"Lady Beryl", Darien said quietly and she licked her lips. Her Prince
was indeed looking quite handsome. He wore a pure dove white tuxedo
along with a cape. His strong hands held a staff and his jet black
hair glistened. "We are all here to discuss what my decision is"
"Decision", She said and laughed. "This is not a have-to-make-a-
decision-kinda thing. This is more like a I'm-gonna-make-the-decision-
for-you-kinda thing. So your decision is that I'm getting you whether
you like it or not. You can't stop me. If you object I blow off your
pathetic planet and if you do your loyal subjects will be safe. We'll
rule the universe together, now as you were saying..."
"My decision is...", Darien said when he stopped to look at her.
Actually behind her, a murmur swept through the crowd.Abrubtedly
she turned around and saw a face so beautiful unlike her own. A
splendor of lady this young one who stood before her was. Beryl's
blood boiled in hatred and resentment as she turned to see the glow
of love take over the Prince's face. He watched her walked gracefully
towards Beryl in a white dress with shimmering marigold ring designs
on her bodice. Her heels clicked on the floor in light steps and soon
she was face to face with Beryl. Both pairs of eyes locked in combat.
Darien regained himself and smiled at the girl. "May I present to you
Lady Beryl, my WIFE Princess Serenity" He took Serena's hand and a
wedding band glinted in the light. Serena took a step and stood next
to Darien. She looked at Beryl with anger but also a bit of sympathy.
A memory came to her head and the sympathy washed away as suddenly as
it had came.
"Perhaps you don't remember me", She said. "I am called Serena to my
friends.Does that ring a bell? Maybe you remember pouring a drink down
my dress?" Suddenly Beryl's head snapped up remembering who she was.
"You're the little peasant girl!", yelped Beryl. Serena nodded a serious
look on her face.
"Not so peasant anymore", She said to Beryl. "And I'd appreciate if you
wouldn't refer to people as peasants. We're all equal. We don't judge
people by class but in the quality of our hearts" Beryl glared at her
and turned to Darien giving him a cool smile though she was burning
with hate.
"I assume you answer is no", She said. "Expect your planet vapor within
a day" With that she turned to walk away,her head high in mock dignity.
"Do not think we will not fight you", Serena said and Beryl spun around.
"We haven't even begun to get on your case"
"I look forward to seeing you squirm Princess", Beryl responded."Before
you know it you'll be begging for forgivness so I'll spare your damned
universe"
"Over my dead body", Serena said angrily. She had never been so angry
and she knew inside of herself, she wouldn't give up without a fight.
"So be it", Beryl sneered and walked away steaming.
*****************************************
Serena and Darien sat together in the meeting room along with their
friends and family. Discussing their plans for fighting when they were
interupted by an loud explosion. Screams ripped through the air and
Darien held his wife to keep her from falling over from the shaking.
"What the hell was that?", asked Lita standing up.The sound of the
explosion had subsided and was now filled with an eerie silence.A
guard burst in, his face filled with fear.
"Your majesty, something has happened", He said and a quiver was in
voice. He hated to be the bearer of bad news. They shot people for
delivering bad news in some parts of the world!
"What is it?", Queen Gaia demanded and Serena felt a chill going up her
spine. She knew bad news was coming.
"The right side of the palace is gone", He said and lowered his head.
"There were no survivors from the explosion"
Serena's face paled and she stood up. The whole right side of the palace
was the servant quarters. Her parents. A feeling of dread filled her.
"Oh my God", She whispered and put a hand to her mouth. Quickly she
yanked the door pushing the guard out of the way. Running clear across
the palace, she stopped when she found herself standing in rumble. Where
were they? Were they okay? Martha, a friend of mother came to her in
tears. "What happened Martha? Where are my parents?"
"I'm sorry little one", She said and patted Serena's hand. "They didn't
make it. That guard over there had me look at their bodies" Serena
walked over to where two sheets were draped over a pair of lifeless
bodies.The guard looked at her in sympathy as she lifted one sheet and
saw a lock of blue hair belonging to her mother. Closing her eyes she
looked over to the other where a hand laid lifeless. Serena recgonized
the wedding band as her father's. She didn't have to look anymore.
"Mom, Dad...", She moaned and sat in the rubble crying. She had just seen
them last night.They had told her how proud they were. She remembered
their happy, content looks as they watched her get married in her small
ceremony. Now they were gone. Sobbing crazily she couldn't seem to move.
"Please don't tell me this is true"
"Ma'am", said a man and put his hand on her shoulder. "We have to carry
them out now" She nodded and some guards came to pick up the bodies,
to put them with the others. Serena couldn't bear to look, lowering her
head she heard a clink that made her snap her head up. Two rings laid
in front of her. Their wedding bands. Even in death they were trying to
comfort her. The others soon joined her and stared at morbid situation.
Darien saw Serena sitting helpless in the rubble holding two small
objects. Her eyes fastened to them with a helpless look in her eyes.
He knelt before her and put his arm around her. She looked at him,
tears falling quickly down her eyes.
"I know who did this", She said quietly and he looked at her. Without
even trying he knew who she spoke of.
"Beryl", He said and she nodded. Serena shakily got up, Darien's arm
supporting her. Her eyes narrowing as she looked at the sky.
"I know your listening", She yelled at the darkening sky, Serena could
feel the evil. "You've gone so low, Beryl. To kill innocent people. But
you probably knew what you were doing. You want me?! I'm here waiting
for your ugly face to show itself! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!" Beryl
appeared with a self satisfied look on her face.
"So you've seen what I'm capable of", She said and laughed. "Now
tommorrow you will truly feel my wrath" Beryl smiled maliciously. "I
mean if I can do that to simple people than I can't wait to see what
I'll do to you"
"Don't be so sure of yourself, Beryl", Serena responded angrily.
"So you think you can beat me?", She sneered back. "How sweet! The little
princess thinks she'll can fight me"
"You'll just have to wait and see what I can do", Serena answered in a
hard voice.
"Till then, I'll be expecting you by noon", Beryl said and said good bye
to Serena with a mock salute. She disappered and left all of them
standing there angered.
"I think it's time that I bring what I can into the situation", Serenity
said putting a hand to Serena's shoulder. "Come along"
*******************************************
"On this wand is the Silver Emperium Crystal", Serenity explained
placing a crescent moon shape wand with a round crystal on it. Placing
gently on the table she looked at Serena with a undoubtedly serious
look. "This my little one is your only hope to beat her" The other
Queens then placed four transformation sticks on the table. Each had a
planet's symbol on it."This is for each princess. You now have a power
to fight. To become the new Senshi. All of you are now responsible for
the life of the Moon Princess. I have faith all of you will live up to
your duty"
"We won't fail you, My Queen", Mina said and the others nodded their
head. Queen Serenity nodded back and walked to Darien who holding
Serena's trembling hand. He could pratically feel the fear growing in
her. Squeezing her hand Darien smiled reassuringly knowing that his
calmness would help her. Serenity watched his gesture towards her.
"Darien", She began and looked at him. "The love you have for my daughter
has formed a bond between you two and by that love you share a power.
I give you this one piece of advice: When two fight as one, they are
invincible against anything" She took both their hands. "Fight strongly
but remember what you fight for"
"Love", Serena said quietly looking at her mother. Darien kissed the side
of her head. She was ready to fight.
********************************************
The day dawned like any other but something eerie was in the air. A
foreboding feeling that made everyone feel cold. Serena bolted up from
her bed, her head felt heavy.Today was the day. Darien slept beside her
and as she looked at him, she remembered why she was fighting. For him.
For her family and friend. All those innocent people depended on her.
She felt though that she was doing this also for herself. All her life
Serena had felt as though she was needed for something. A calling that
yearned from within her. Darien roused from his sleep kissing her gently
on her neck.
"Morning love", He said and she smiled at him but her gazed was focused
on the sunrise. The orangy yellow light colored her face and the heat
somehow felt comforting to her. Her father after all was Prince of the
Sun. Maybe this was his way of assuring her.
"Today's the day", She whispered to him and both laid down. Serena placed
her head on his chest. Inhaling she could smell his spicy sweet scent.
"I'm not afraid", She said to herself like a reassurance.
"Don't lie", He said and held her tighter. "I can practically feel it"
Holding her hand. "I know that today will be the hardest thing we'll
ever go through. It's alright to be afraid but don't let it get in your
way"
"Why must you always so much about me", She said and laughed lightly.
"We're not like any other couple, you know" The door opened and Queen
Gaia stuck her head in.
"Rise and shine", Gaia said. "Today we fight, tommorrow you cuddle"
"She's right", Serena agreed and threw the covers back. Darien groaned
and Serena threw a pillow at him. Heading towards her armoire a twinge
of fear invaded her head. Would there a tommorrow for her?
**************************************
The clock ticked loudly as they all waited for it to strike noon. Two
minutes...tick....tick....tick...one minute. Serena sucked in her breath
and a loud bong was heard from the clock. A cruel sounding laugh was
heard from the outside and they all rushed out where Beryl floated in
the air. A long staff in her hand and her bright flaming red hair set
arrogantly behind her shoulders.
"I see the whole group has come out", She sneered. "Are you ready?"
All of them advanced towards her floating figure when Serena suddenly
turned around.
"I have to do this alone", She said firmly. "At least at first"
"No", Darien said and grabbed her shoulders. "Are you insane?"
"I've never been more sane in my life", Serena responded. "If we all
fought at the same time than all be to weak to fight later" Taking
his hands she looked at him with her big blue eyes. "If I could weaken
her with the crystal than that would the others a chance to kill her
off. I have to do this. It's inevitable" She kissed his hands. "Please
let me do this" He nodded though he wished he could refuse her.
"Serena it's our duty to protect you", Ami said to her and crossed her
arms.
"Well it's my duty to protect my people", argued Serena. "You are part of
this Kingdom and it's my responsibility. No arguments" Her eyes swept
through her families and friends. "I promise if I need help I'll signal
you" With that she began to walk away.
"How will we know you need help?", Mina yelled and Serena turned around.
She looked at Darien and he nodded encouraging her. She winked at him.
"Trust me. You'll know when I need help", She said and walked closer to
Beryl. She saw the Princess and smiled, a scary glint to her eyes.
"Princess, it's nice to see you",Beryl said."But before we start, let me
introduce you to some people" Snapping her fingers, a million troops
appeared in the sky.All in black armor. "You see Serena the longer it
takes to kill you. The more they trash your Kingdom. So maybe if you
surrender now we won't have to mess this place up"
"I wouldn't even think of surrendering to you", She yelled.
"It's a shame", said Beryl. "I'll have to mess this place up just like
I messed up the Moon Kingdom. You father couldn't stop me and I doubt
you will" A red flash headed towards Serena but she jumped away from
it."Real quick Princess"
"I haven't started yet", She said and held her wand out. A ball of light
formed and as it got bigger headed towards Beryl. She wasn't going out
like that though and Beryl also formed an orb of light pushing it
towards Serena. The lights clashed like a sandwich and Beryl could feel
heself weakening. Signaling one of her henchmen, he threw a bommerang
of light at her. It came towards her slashing her dress and making her
skin bleed. The wretching pain weaken her but she sustained though her
legs felt as though they were made of dough.
"Hey that's not fair!", yelled Lita and ran towards her. Queen Serenity
stopped her.
"My daughter's not down yet-", She said but a piercing scream
interrupted her. As they looked Serena figure wavered on the verge of
falling. She had taken a stab to the side of her stomach. Darien groaned
feeling her pain and he knew it was time.
"She calling for us", He yelled and the others nodded. Running he caught
her before she hit the ground. His arm encircle her waist holding her up
and he helped hold up the Crescent Moon Wand. A surge of strength made
the ball bigger. The senshi each concentrating, their symbol glowing
bright on their foreheads. A light sprung forth from each of them going
into the ball of light.Beryl panicked face gave them more confidence
and they continued to fight. However it seemed as though something was
making her stronger. Flashing red lights would hit her making her
stronger, bolder. Ami looked around realizing that their surroundings
were growing sparse. Trees and plants were dying, animals were dropping
, soldiers and people were on the ground. Putting this together she
realized Beryl's source. She was gathering energy from all earth
living things.
"She's taking people's energy", Ami yelled to the others in anger.
"That bitch!", exclaimed Raye whose legs were beginning to waver. In fact
all of them seem to going down.Each second a bit of energy was leaving
their bodies.
"Oh man!", Mina said. "What are we gonna do?" Serena eyes were beginning
to unfocused and she felt herself drifting away when someone placed their
hand on her shoulder. Glancing back she saw her mother who
was encouraging giving her power to fight. The other Queens were behind
their children with their hands on their child's shoulder. Queen Gaia
stood behind Darien and was pushing her son to try harder.
"Serena", Her mother whispered in her ear. "Use the strength in your
heart to fight" The other Queens whispered words of encouragement to
their children. Serena knew what they had to do.
"MERCURY STAR POWER!"
"VENUS STAR POWER!"
"MARS STAR POWER!"
"JUPITER STAR POWER!"
"MOON CRYSTAL POWER!"
The two generations of royalty were double teaming
Beryl. A light shooting forth from their foreheads. The Powers of
the Moon, Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter going into the ball
making it engulf Beryl. Her body twisting and becoming a pile of ashes.
She screamed horribly as it engulf her body. The millions of soldiers
had disappered and the sky was clear again. Everyone hugged but yelled
when Serena crumbled. Before hitting the floor Darien caught her and
gathered her into his arms. Carrying her Serena opened her eyes and
smiled softly.
"Am I dead?", She asked and he laughed.
"No, why?", Darien said as they headed towards the palace.
"Cause I think I see a angel", Serena said and laughed."Corny, huh?
It must have been all that fighting"
"Rest now, darling", He said but before he could get her to sleep he was
interupted by a yell from his mother.
"MY PALACE!", She screamed looking at the crumbling building she called
home. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!!!" Everyone laughed seeing the Queen
freak out at what happened. Something told Darien everything was gonna
be alright.
**********************************
Two days later....
The stars shone brightly as Serena and Darien looked up at the peaceful
environment.
"Things are beautiful in the Moon Kingdom", Darien said as he his arms
encircled her waist from behind. The whole royal court had decided to
stay there for awhile. A well deserved vacation for all of them.
"Yeah but the Earth looks great from here", Serena said and Darien
kissed her shoulder. Giggling she entwined her hands in his.
"So Princess, your future heir to the throne, your smart, your beautiful
and you have absolutely everything you'd ever want. What can I possibly
give you?", Darien asked and Serena turned around putting her arms
around his neck. Giving him a small kiss, Serena gave a sweet smile.
"Actually", She said slyly. "I wouldn't mine a few kids running around
the place" A smile broaden Darien's face and a thoughtful looked came
to his eyes.
"Hmmm...another little angel in my life", He mused and looked down at
her."I like the idea"
"Really?", She said and he nodded. "How bout we get started...now?"
Darien answered by grabbing her slim body and carrying her. She
squealed loudly, kicking her legs back and forth.
"As you wish your majesty", He said to her heading to their inside to
room. Before going inside Darien kissed Serena lovingly with a deep
passion. "I love you, Angel Of Mine" With that they went inside.
