He kneeled on the ground and tears came to his ocean blue eyes as he remembered what had just happened. His hat and mask fell to the ground as he began weeping.
A gloved hand touched his shoulder. "Are you all right Tuxedo Mask?"
"I don't know, Mina. I just don't know," he replied looking backwards towards Sailor Venus. Tears were in her eyes.
"We'll find her, don't you worry," said Sailor Jupiter as she looked around at the rest of the Sailor Scouts. There was not a dry eye amongst them. Even she, who hardly cried had tears welled up in her eyes.
"How?" asked Tuxedo Mask with anger in his voice. "We don't even know where or when Diamond took her!" Everyone seemed to know that the anger came from his broken heart.
"I'll search every planet in the universe if I must, looking for signs of life!" said Sailor Mercury, trying to reassure him.
"How to we know if he took her to a planet?" Tuxedo Mask almost yelled.
"He's right! How do we know if they're on a star, or moon, or just floating around aimlessly in spac-"
"That's enough, Mars!" Sailor Neptune interrupted. "Just look at him."
Tuxedo Mask was now pounding his fists on the cold, hard concrete.
'Why her? What did she do to deserve this?' he thought.
***Flashback***
A sharp, black and white power beam was heading toward Tuxedo Mask. Just as he was stabilizing himself for the blow, he was knocked out of the way and immediately heard an ear-splitting scream. He watched in horror as Sailor Moon fell to the ground with scratches all over her body, her skirt torn, and a long, deep gash going down her right leg.
He and all of the scouts and rushed to her side. He gently cradled her upper body in his arms. Tears of pain were rolling down her cheeks.
"You didn't have to do that," he told her.
"Yes I did," she replied in barely a whisper.
Suddenly, an energy burst shot everybody back except for Sailor Moon. Prince Diamond appeared and picked her up. Everyone tried to get up and help her, but no one could move anything, except for their heads.
"We'll get you, Prince Diamond!" yelled Sailor Uranus as he was drifting off towards a porthole.
"How? You don't even know where I'm going," he said as he looked at the limp Sailor Moon in his arms.
"We'll figure out a way, somehow!" called Sailor Pluto.
"Yes, I'm sure you will," he replied sarcastically, before disappearing into the porthole.

"We feel your pain, Darien," whispered Sailor Saturn.
"I'm not so sure you do," he replied flatly.
"Come on," said Sailor Jupiter, "Let's go home and get some rest. We can meet tomorrow to plan our revenge."
Everyone agreed and went their separate ways.
Back at Darien's apartment, he did not go to sleep right away. He stayed up late, looking though all of his photographs of Serena and pulling them out. Once he had found them all, he displayed them in his apartment, before getting into his pajamas and climbing into bed.
'Serena, wherever you are, I wish I was with you,' he thought before falling into a dreamless sleep with the feeling that she would be gone forever.
