"Shit! Move!" Diamond shouted pushing Serena away just as a flaming card streaked by.



Unfortunately he pushed her too hard and a loud thump resounded as her head connected with the pier rendering her unconcious.

'Damn it' he cursed looking at her prone form, 'This is just not my day! And I was so close"

Floating in the air Diamond looked around warily while at the same time extending his senses. Finally he picked up one of Emerald's droid's negative signature.

"Come out now! As your Prince I command you to do as I say!" Diamond ordered loudly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fifteen minutes earlier at Darien's

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't believe she did that! Something must be definately wrong for Serena to turn as bitchy as that!" Mina commented lightly as she wrapped up some ice for Raye's swelling cheek.

"I know. Completely unexpected. When I ran after her to the door she said that she wanted Diamond to find her." Lita also added.

She twirled to Ami. "Have you found any trace of her yet?" The blue headed sprite sat indian style on the counter, her hands blazing across her mini computer at inhuman speeds.

"No. No sign of her at all" she replied solemnly, head hanging, "I don't know if this sounds strange but it feels like she doesn't want us to find her"

"I must be strange too because I feel exactly the same" Raye agreed from her corner chair.

"What about earlier when you sensed an evil presence at the den's entrance and it turned out to be Serena?" urged Lita.

"I felt it. It felt like all those times I sensed Rubeus or some other big bad on the move. That cold unattached feeling." Raye replied.

"Here" Mina said handing Raye a dishcloth full of ice, "I don't understand how she's become this way. We haven't even seen any of the big shots in the last battle so no one could have done anything to her. How would-"

"But we don't know that for sure, Mina." Raye interrupted, "We might have not seen it in our drunken stupor. We were barely of use. I know for a fact that none of us were paying too much attention to her during our fight with Tonka's reject kids"

"Raye's right guys." agreed Ami, "We didn't even get a chance to talk to her about it afterwards either. But Lita about what you said earlier"

"Yeah. I said that when I met her at the door she said she wanted Diamond to find her"

"I wondered what that was about too. You don't think he's gotten to her do you?" asked Raye.

"I wish I knew. So many emotions...." Mina murmured.

Ami looked up hearing her. "What are you talking about Mina?"

"Since I'm the senshi of love I could always sense these type of things. With Serena it's always been her huge wave of kindness and her intense love. Always quick to put others happiness before her own, but now" she bit her thumb trailing off.

"Now what?!" Raye demanded loudly ingoring the stinging of her cheek.

"They're changing. As if she doesn't care anymore. All that love she had...the brightness of her aura. It's dimming. All of it. Something, as you said earlier, is replacing it. Something cold and unattached" Mina explained.



"Damnit!" Lita cursed slamming her fist on the counter, "How is this happening? We need to stop it before she's gone completely. We're sitting ducks here while that bastard could have already taken Serena and the silver crystal."

"Oh God!" Ami gasped. Everyone turned and looked to her.

"What Ami?" Mina questioned looking into her friend's startled blue eyes. Her own widened with realization.

"Shit"

"What?" Raye asked looking back and forth from Ami to Mina, "Guys, what's going on?"

"Remember how Serena treated us when she came downstair" Mina stated.

Raye frowned remembering exactly.

Flashback

Raye grabbed her arm, yanking her back near her "Don't whatever me Serena. You know that........."

Raye looked up from her place on the floor as she cradled her now bruised cheek, a look of shock apparent on her face.

Serena lowered down into her face, "I dare you to touch me one more time and see what happens" she hissed darkly, then continued her trek towards the door.





End of Flashback

"How could I forget" she muttered bitterly.

"Where was Serena before she came down?" Mina persisted.

"She was in Darien's room of course." Lita replied, "What does that have to....oh my God"

"If she was so cruel to us, how was she to Darien? He hasn't even come down since then!" Raye exclaimed finally understanding the situation.

"Yes and that's why we must go up there right now!" Ami comfirmed already heading out the door the rest in tow.

'I hope he's okay. Raye got the physical damage, but I can't even begin to count the ways Serena can hurt Darien mentally' Mina thought worridly.



Darien's Room



A lone figure sat on the bed with his head held in his hands.

"Serena" the voice whispered brokenly. This how the scouts met their dear prince.

They exchanged looks before Lita went up to him.

"Darien" she started placing a hand on his shoulder. He didn't respond.



"We know how you feel. But we can't imagine what she said to you. Those things she said to us were just mind blowing. But we have good reason to believe that Serena's being influenced by dark powers from Diamond"

"I know, that bastard" he said darkly, "When I get my hands on him..."

"Not now" Ami put in, "Andrew is downstairs with Luna and Artemis in the den and unfortunately it seems news of our identity has spread around the arcade."

Darien looked up swiftly, "What?!"

"Yeah, well it seems that my class blabbed" Lita anwsered sheepishly.

"They much more than blabbed, Lita. Our cover has been blown sky high! If everyone in the arcade knows how many people do you think knows by now?!" Rei fumed.

"Oh come off it Rei! This isn't gonna help us right now." Mina remarked.

"She's right." Ami agreed, "What we need to do now is figure out how to locate Serena's present position and reverse the effects of Diamond's spell"

"We need to find her first" Lita mumbled.

"Find?" Darien asked confused.

"Oh right we forgot to tell you. Serena kinda left"

"SHE WHAT?!!!!!!!!" he roared. Everyone yelped jumping behind Lita.

"Darien calm down you're scaring us!" Mina whimpered behind Lita's arm.

"I'm fine" he responded roughly.

"Those veins popping out of your head and neck aren't very convincing" Lita added lightly.

"Did she say were she was going?" he asked rising off the bed.

"No. But she did tell Lita that she wanted Diamond to find her" Rei replied holding her cheek gently. Darien noticed.

"What happened to your cheek?"

"Serena slapped her when she tried to stop her from leaving" Ami supplied.

Darien's eyes widened turning back to Rei, "Are you..."

"I'm fine" she snapped looking away, "If we're done here I suggest that we go back downstairs. I'm afraid that we left Andrew alone too long with Luna and Artemis. Plus I do believe we have someone to find"

She took this as an excuse and quickly left the room.

Den

"So you mean all those times I heard Serena talking to you and I thought she was a little bonkers you were actually answering her?" Andrew mused.

"For the thousandth time Andrew YES!!! Artemis and I can talk!!!" Luna shouted frustrated.

"Glad to see you're asking intelligent questions" Rei stated as she entered the room, the others following after her.

"It's just hard sink in. Where did Serena go? A good bit of people know about you guys, she shouldn't be out there by herself should she?"

"I'm sure it hasn't spread too far, look" Lita said walking over to the big screen and turning it on, "It is was a real threat it would be on the news and clearly it....."

"This is breaking news from the Juuban district. It seems to be a district nearly city wide uproar because of single rumor. We're going to have a report from Arisuki Yue infront of the Crown Arcade and Parlor from which we understand the uproar started. Arisuki.."

In deed the woman was infront of Crown where many students stood infront of the doors. It was nearly the whole school in fact.

"Thank you Yuuske. Now there has been a very shocking rumor revolving around the Juuban district since about 3 o'clock this afternoon. The same time of the local high school dissmisal. This rumor is apparently about identities of the Sailor Senshi. They are rumored to be Serena Tsukino, Rei Hino, Lita Kino, Mina Aino, and Ami Mizuno. All were reported missing from several classes today. There are not one, not two, not even three witnesses but many. Some have spoke of a conversation between Miss Aino and Miss Kino regarding an attack of some kind in Tsukino and Aino's class in which there was suppose to be a substitute. We cannot film any of the students recolections of what happened and the school seems to have no commet. The police are interviewing people in the students in questions classes, in which they forced the schools to give them. What was also strange is that all of the parents of the questioned students except Miss Kino who reportedly lives alone, were and are still present at the school. I will get back to you if any new developments arise in this could be historic report"

With that Lita turned off the t.v. and turned back to the now throughly shocked group.

"Well, I could be wrong" she shrugged.

Darien shook out of his stupor, "We have to find Serena now"

"That would be a good idea also because a youma seems to be on the loose along with a powerful dark figure" Ami informed as she looked at the stats on her mini computer.

"Diamond. The bastard. I can't have Serena out there as she is with him out there" he hissed with anger.

"Bring her back safely, Darien" Luna said quietly.

"I will"

"Transform now" Mina commanded, taking over leadership, "Better stand back Andrew" He took some steps back.

"Mars Star Power"

"Jupiter Star Power"

"Mercury Star Power"

"Venus Star Power"

Andrew stumbled back and fell on the couch. Before him stood the Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Mask. His friends. His mouth watered, his eyes as wide as dinner plates.

Ami rolled her eyes, "It can't be that shocking anymore can it?"

Andrew shook his head dumbly, "No, it's not just that. Did you guys know that we you transform or whatever that you're stark naked"

"HENTIA!!!!!!!!" They all screamed.

"Sorry! Sorry! Come on I didn't know!" he whined holding his ears.

"Scouts you don't have time for this. You need to get to Serena quickly" Artimis scolded.

"He's right. Let's go." With that they ran to the living room's balcony.

"So when you were kittens did you say mama or dada first?" Andrew asked innocently.

"GO HOME ANDREW!!!!!!!"
