~Authors note: Thank you on all your comments on my fanfic. I hope you enjoy~ Hidden Depth Part 5: A walk in the park The full moon that night shore its gentle rays as they walked hand in hand at the park. "I can't believe you were Sailor Moon all of this time and I never knew it. Since your Sailor Moon, does that mean Raye, Amy, Lita, and Mina are the sailor scouts? " Darien said to Serena. "Yeah. Raye is Mars, Amy is Mercury, Lita is Jupiter, and Mina is Venus." "Imagine a meatball head like you saving the world," Darien said jokingly. He laughed. "Very funny, Darien. Well I can't believe you were Tuxedo Mask all of this time either," Serena replied. Serena squeezed his hand and looked at him. Darien returned her glance and stopped laughing. "Darien, why ARE you Tuxedo Mask anyway? How do you know just the right time to come in and help us? It's not like I don't appreciate it but I always wonder why you always played the knight in shining armor when we are in distress." "Well Serena, part of the reason why I'm Tuxedo Mask remains still a mystery to me. For some reason I have can feel it when you guys are in trouble and my instincts take over me. Ever since I was little, I really never knew who I was. Now I think if I help you by becoming Tuxedo Mask, it puts me a step closer to find out who I truly am." Darien said. "Really?" she said in awe. "Yeah, my life has always been strange. Now... I have a question for you. Why are you Sailor Moon?" he said. Serena was surprised by Darien's question. "Well,ummm, I'm not quite sure. Two years ago out of nowhere Luna came to me and told me I had to fight evil. She said I have to find the Moon Princess because she's the key to beating the negaverse. I need to give her the silver crystal. If we don't find her soon, the negaverse is going to take over the world. They're getting stronger and stronger every day. "Can the moon princess be the girl in my dreams???" Darien thought to himself. "On top of that, I don't think the scouts are going to help me find the Princess anymore. Apparently, they can't put up with me ever since that thing with Brooke. Darien, you have to understand, I didn't mean to get Brooke hurt. I felt so bad she got caught in a middle of a battle. Since they would help me anymore, I have to focus on finding the moon princess myself. Maybe she's they key to my past. "Serena, this Sailor Moon thing has really changed you. You've seem more grown up then you used to be before you were Sailor Moon." "It's a hidden depth I never knew I had I guess. Darien you'll help me fight the evil in this world right? Now since I don't have my friends anymore, I need all the help I can get." "Of course Serena. I know how much your friends met to you and I'm sorry for what happened." "Darien, you've always seemed SO understanding. Thank you." Serena gave Darien an unexpected hug. Darien similed. "You won't be simling for long Tuxedo Mask!" Darien and Serena turned around and saw Queen Bryl standing in front on them. "Bryl!!!" Serena cried. "I'm not ready to fight Queen Bryl yet!! I have to find to Moon Princess!!" she thought to herself. "Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, I'm tired of playing these games with you. Just give me the crystal and I've give you a quick, painless death instead of the long painful one your deserve." "You're not getting that crystal!!" "Mars fire ignite!!!" Sailor Mars, the rest of the scouts, Luna, and Artemis came to the scene. Queen Bryl dodged the fireball and caused it to turn around and hit them. The scouts fell to the ground. Serena and Darien just froze out of fear. "Oh come on, you have to try better then that." Queen Bryl smirked. "Serena you idiot!! Transform and help us out!" Sailor Mars snapped. "She is mean to Serena," Dairen thought to himself. Darien and Serena transformed into Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon. "YOU'RE TUXEDO MASK?!" the scouts said in unison. "Yeah, lets talk about that later," he replied. "Oh how perfect. I get to kill ALL of you at once," the evil witch said, "I'll start off with you Sailor Moon!" Queen Bryl charged up a fireball and aim it at Serena. Darien jumped into it's path. "NNNNOOOOOO! DARIEN!!!!!!!" Serena shrieked. She caught him and layed him on the ground. "Darien....Darien... Darien!" she cried. Everyone, including even Bryl stood speechless as they watched Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. Sailor Moon shook Darien in vain. "Come on Darien...wake up....don't die.....you have to find out your past first...you have to find out how you are." Tears overwhelmed her blue eyes. "Come on Darien. Please don't die...I,I love you," she whispered. Her tears dripped all over Darien's face. Serena's silver crystal startled glowing. "The, The silver crystal...." A bight light shore emitted from the crystal. Everyone shielded their eyes from the bright light. As the light died down, everyone gasped. Serena dressed as a princess held the crystal in her hands. Darien dressed as a prince held a sword in his hands. The couple stood together holding hands. "At last we meet again, Moon Princess," Queen Bryl replied, "The same for you Endymion. "Imagine, Serena, the Moon Princess all this time," Luna said to Artemis. "And Darien the Prince of Earth," Artemis replied. "Hey and I thought she was just a meatball head," Raye remarked "Serena and Darien...I think they make a cute couple," Mina said. "Bryl, you are unwise for returning here." Prince Darien said. "We're giving you one more chance to leave this galaxy, Bryl. You've cause to much trouble for us. We've defeated your generals and we're not afraid to defeat you also." Princess Serena said. "Here's a sample of the power we poccess..." she said. The crystal startled glowing again causing Queen Bryl to fall to her knees. "Oh no, Princess. You re just like your mother; both of you are to arrogant to realized evil always defeats good. You fools!!! Get ready to die!!!" A cloud of darkness permeated the sky and rays of electricity illuminated the Bryl. Electricity ran though out her whole body. She aimed her electric bolts at the scouts and fired. Serena jumped into it's path and fell to the ground. Raye ran to her side. "Raye," she whispered. "Serena, we didn't ask you to do that," Raye said. A tear trickled down Raye's face. "I'll be fine." She sat up on the ground. "YOU'LL PAY FOR DOING THAT TO HER YOU SCUM BAG!!!" Darien shouted. He took his sword and stabbed her in her stomach. Queen Bryl yelped and threw him to the ground. She held onto her stomach as it trickled with blood. "You, You FOOL!!" Her stomach sealed back up. "Can't get rid of me that easily." She similed. "We'll see about that," Mina said. "Venus Love Chain Encircle!!!!" "Jupiter Thunder Clash Zap!!!" "Mars Celestial Fire Surround!!!" "Mercury Ice Storm Blast!!!" Bryl started laughing even harder. "Don't even play those games with me," she said. She shot another fireball and everyone fell to the ground. "I'll destory to you all." "I, I can't move," Mina said. "She paralyzed us all," Lita said frightened. For some reason, Serena managed to stand up. "Serena what are you doing?" asked Amy "They only way to defeat Bryl is to use to crystal," she said. "Don't Serenity," Darien said, "You'll die." "I have to Endymion," she kissed his cheek. "Please don't. I can't bear to lose you again," he whispered. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine." She replied. She turned to Queen Bryl. "I'm going to defeat you, once and for all." She held her crystal high in the air. "I call upon the Power of the Moon. Give me the strength to defeat this evil, to save this world and to save my loved ones. MOON CRYSTAL POWER!!!" The crystal emitted blinding rays as Serena held it with one hand. Bryl fell to the ground from the power it pocessed. Serena's dress and hair flowed in the light as she has her eyes shut. "No!!!!!! I won't let this moon girl defeat me!!!" The witch yelled. She tried to get up but she was too weak. The crystal was too strong; even for her. Bryl's screams echoed as her body dissolved into a pile of dust. The night was quite again as the moon shore upon the earth once more. Serena collapsed. "She actually defeated her," Raye whispered. Darien stood up and walked to Serena. "Serena?? Are you alright?" Darien bent down and lightly shook her. "Serena..." he said gently. "SERENA!!!" Darien panicked. He shook her harder. "No... it can't be.." He checked her pulse. "WHAT!!! NO PULSE!!! Serena!!!" He picked her up and rocked her back and forth. "She's dead...." he whispered.
