There Comes a Time

Hello Prince Darien,” Prince Diamond spoke.

“Leave him alone!” Luna and Artemis shouted.

“I’m not the one you should be afraid of,” Prince Diamond gloated.

The Dark Queen appeared, ready for vengeance. Darien, Luna, and Artemis were shocked to see what Serena had become.

“She’s barely recognizable Artemis,” Luna uttered.

“What shocked to see that I’m not that silly meatball head anymore,” Serena shouted.

“Now I will eliminate the Guardian of the earth,” Diamond spoke.

The Scouts had defeated the monsters with ease and were ready to protect their prince.

“My Queen, help me eliminate the scum here,” Diamond spoke.

“With pleasure,” Serena replied with an evil grin.

“Serena please stop this, you don’t want to do this,” the Scouts pleaded.

“Why should I, so you could tell me how pathetic and worthless I am,” the Dark Queen spoke out.

“You are not worthless my love, you’re my whole world,” Darien said softly.

“Why do you love me?” Serena inquired.

“Because you make me feel so special, and I love to be with you,” Darien answered.

“Stop this, just stop!” the Dark Queen screamed.

Questions began to race through Serena’s mind, and the dark grip began to loosen up. She placed her hands to her temple and shook her head. Wondering who to believe. Immediately, the Phantom worked to restore the darkness to Serena by persuading her with his lies.

“He’s right, the Phantom is always right,” Serena spoke.

Serena had returned as the Queen of Darkness. The Dark Queen’s rage was released upon the Sailor Scouts. Prince Diamond stood and watched, waiting for the right moment to attack his target. Finally it was time to strike.

“You know what Prince Darien, you took everything from me, you took the woman I loved away from me, and now that I have her, there is no room for you,” Diamond gloated, “so goodbye Darien.” Diamond attacked the weakened prince.

The Dark Queen stooped her onslaught against the Scouts and watched her true love being attacked. She stood there frozen, unable to move, just watching. The Starlights attacked Prince Diamond with a vengeance, knowing Serena could be saved. This was the perfect timing to save the Moon Princess. Princess Kakyu revealed Serena’s Star Seed.

“It’s so bright,” Sailor Neptune spoke.

“Just like our Princess,” Uranus added.

Sensing the danger his plan was in, the Phantom appeared with his minion, Jeico. Before the Fireball Princess could call upon the Light of Hope, the Phantom intervened by attacking the Fireball Princess. The Phantom prevented the Scouts from saving Serena.

The minion of the Phantom (Jeico) attacked the Scouts. Jeico was more powerful than any of the scouts expected. The Scouts had to us their Sailor Planet attack in order to defeat the minion. Luckily the Scouts’ attack worked.

“Why do you even need Serena, let her go!” the Scouts demanded.

“Now why would I give up the ultimate power?” the Phantom rhetorically asked.

Serena was weakened greatly by the events that occurred. She breathed heavily and no longer had enough strength to defeat the Scouts.

“Come now my Queen, we’ll finish them later,” the Phantom ordered. Serena stood beside the Phantom and both Serena and the Phantom vanished.

“No Serena, wait,” Venus cried out, but she was too late. The scouts were disappointed with the outcome of their battle today. Luckily they knew that they could get their princess back.

“We need a plan,” Pluto spoke, “we will be the distraction to keep the Phantom away from Serena, while the Fireball Princess saves her.”

“We can’t fail, this will most likely be our only shot to save her,” Saturn added.

“We won’t fail,” Jupiter spoke.

“Look! Outside,” Mercury said.

“What is going on?” Sailor Star Maker asked.

“The environment is falling apart,” Mercury responded. Everyone was stunned by the view outside.

“This was the plan the whole time,” Sailor Star Healer said.

“Mercury, how long do we have?” Artemis asked.

“Not long, a day or two at the most,”

“Well then Scouts, save this world and our Princess,” Luna ordered.

“This is what it all comes down to our duty as Sailor Scouts,” Saturn spoke.

What the Scouts forgot was Prince Diamond was still there.

“Your plan will never work scouts, you already lost,” the weakened evil prince spoke. Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Star Fighter defeated the Prince Diamond once and for all. With Prince Diamond gone, it was time to put their plan into action.

The Scouts went back to where they first met the Phantom, where their problems started. Everyone stood in wait: Earth’s Sailor Scouts, the Starlights, the cats, the Fireball Princess, and Prince Darien. Everyone waited for Serena to appear. Finally their wait was over. The Phantom and the Queen of Darkness had appeared. It was time to face the toughest of fights.
