Sailor Moon vs. Ranma 1/2
Different Transformations

Ahhhh!  I hate aol; they're making me send this part in 3 sections!

Chapter 5: No Offense, But Throwing Flowers Is Kinda Gay

	Akane slowly opens her eyes.  The blast had knocked her down, and she could
feel soot all over her.  As her vision begins to focus, she sees Ranma on top
of her.  As she wraps her arms around Ranma, she could feel his back was
burned.
	"Ahhh," Ranma cries, as he begins to push himself off her.
	"Ranma!  You're hurt bad!" she worriedly says as she slides herself from
under him.  "We gotta get you to Dr. Tofu."
	Ranma, obviously still weak, points behind her.  In her concern for Ranma,
she didn't even notice that energy was still swirling around the area like a
weak tornado.  She turned around to see that the source of it was a few yards
away by Sailor Moon.  It looked like the person with Happosai was saying
something to her while he was laughing.  All of a sudden, Happosai raised his
hand, which glowed with energy.  He was about to kill her!
	"Get the hell away from her!" screams Sailor Jupiter as she began running to
Sailor Moon's aid.  She jumps into the air with a "Jupiter Thunder Crash,"
unleashes a bolt of lighting straight for Happosai.
	With incredible speed, Happosai leaps into the air as the ground beneath him
explodes.  He points the palm of his hand at Jupiter while airborne, and
unleashes a negaforce blast at her.  Jupiter slams against the wall, and
limply falls off.
	"I don't know what's going on, but even Happosai couldn't do that," bursts
Ranma as he flies towards Happosai with his fist extend.  "We had a problem
with possession before, but a good punch ought to take care of that!"
	With a casual grace, Happosai strikes Ranma's wrist with his smoking pipe,
throwing him into the pond.  Except this time Ranma was thrown with such
force, he continues propelling until he impacted against the bottom of the
pond.
	Seeing Ranma hurt, Shampoo rushes towards Happosai.  "You better not hurt
Shampoo husband!"
	Ukyou then shoves her way ahead of Shampoo and cries "Stay out of this, I'll
avenge Ranchan!"
	Mousse runs after Shampoo screaming "But Shampoo, I'm right here and I'm not
hurt!"  He continues to chase Shampoo.
	"The bittersweet taste of vengeance is a delight Tatewaki Kuno shall not
lose," says Kuno as he draws out his Bokken and begins to run down Happosai.
 "To be denied that which I apparently awaited is an offense not to be taken
lightly!"
	Before Happosai has a chance to react, all four of them had pounced on him
and began trashing him.  Shampoo and Ukyou were stepping on him due to their
defense of Ranma.  Mousse was doing it because Shampoo was.  And Kuno, well,
who understands anything Kuno does.
	"Saotome, is that not the master they are stomping into the ground?" asks
Soun, observing the melee from the porch.
	"Uh-hu," grunts the Panda form of Genma.
	"Shouldn't we be doing something about this then Genma?"
	"Uh-hu."
	Genma and Soun are quickly also at the cloud of dust the others were at, all
too eager to join in the stomping of the master.  To their surprise, they
could actually feel his wrinkled little body being stomped under their feet!
 He usually had pulled his disappearing trick by now.
	Happosai's body should have been mangled by now, but this was no longer
Happosai.  While they had been thinking they were finishing him off, he had
amusedly drawed them all in close and allowed himself the time to replenish
some of his energy.  Nuclear explosions could take the wind out of someone.
 With a burst of energy mixed with his enhanced strength, he threw them off
him by brute force as much as by an energy blast.  Everyone flew off him in
every direction, landing and smacking into things hard.
	"Alright scouts," commands Mars, "let's keep those creeps from Sailor Moon."
 The remaining scouts begin to run at Happosai.
	Sailor Moon herself was still trying to regain consciousness.  Right next to
her, Malachite was too busy observing Happosai's fury to finish her off.
	"Mars Fire..."
	"Venus Crescent Beam..."
	"Mercury Bubble..."
	None of them got to finish their special attack as winds begin swirling
around Happosai, who then pounds his hands into the ground crying "School of
Anything Goes Martial Arts Final Attack Bean Jam Blowout!"
	With that said, a twister flies towards the scouts and begins spinning them
in the air as it lifts them higher into the sky.  The twister dissipates and
leaves the scouts crashing back down to the earth in a crumpled stack. 
	"I guess that takes care of that," a smug Malachite remarks.  "Only one
loose end left," he says as he turns to Sailor Moon.  "I don't even know why
I'm bothering with you, you are obviously no threat to me now.  In fact, it's
almost shameful to think that my dear Zoicite had to die because of a
insignificance like you.  Consider this payback.  Happosai, kill her slowly."
	Sailor Moon had struggled onto one knee, but still couldn't get her
bearings.  She hears the death order, but is in no condition to react.
	"Stop!" protests Akane as she steps in to block Happosai.  "You still have
to get through me first."  Akane then attempts a kick at Happosai who easily
dodges, and then she throws a punch at him.
	Happosai begins to let his battle aura take his shape around him, and with
the outstretched arm of his aura self, grabs Akane by the throat lifting her
off the ground.
	Akane tries to draw in air, but nothing is coming in.  She tries to twist
the wrist but its too strong.  She kicks wildly, but can't hit anything.  The
world starts to turn dark.
	"Hey you old letch!" cries a new female voice.  Happosai casually turns his
head, still holding Akane.
	Ranma had reverted back to girl type, and began pulling a bra from her
chest.  "I got something to show you," teases Ranma.
	"Although I would find a strip show slightly amusing, I have more important
business to attend to," calmly states the new Happosai.
	"There isn't a trace of Happosai left in there," thinks Ranma.  "He would
have been at me before I blinked."
	Before Ranma can do anything, Happosai had flung Akane straight at him.
 "Akane!" Ranma cries as he jumps at her, hoping to catch her.  He catches
her, but the force of the throw sends him flying back into the house,
crashing through walls.  He puts his back into everything trying to protect
Akane.
	"Moon Tiara..." Sailor Moon begins, but a backhand by Malachite throws her
back to the ground again.  She begins trembling with fury, fright, and shame.
 Here she was, the moon princess, and she was completely helpless.  Tears
begin forming again, but she tries to hold it in.  With a trembling voice,
she says "Do what you will with me, but leave my friends alone."
	"You are in no position to request anything Sailor Moon.  In fact, you'll be
in no position period soon enough.  Happosai, for the last time, do it!"
	But again, Happosai is suddenly attacked.  Two small blurs begin streaking
left and right.  As they dash across Happosai, they leave scratches all over
his frame.
	"What is this?" he cries as he tries to get the black and white blurs, but
they were too small, fast, and agile.
	"Artemis, I can't keep this up much longer," moans Luna.
	"We have to Luna, if we slow down, he'll finish us," replies Artemis.
	"Enough of this ludicrousness, I'll finish her off myself," roars Malachite.
 He begins forming a huge energy ball.
	"Moon Tiara Magic!" cries Sailor Moon as the tiara flies at Malachite.
 Caught by surprise, Malachite releases his energy ball at the tiara.  They
both negate each other's force, and the tiara falls to the ground.
	"Nice try, but no more second chances."  Malachite prepares to blast off
Sailor Moon's head with an energy blast.
	Suddenly, a swirl of energy forms behind Malachite, and a figure appears out
of it, landing on Malachite's back with a strong jump kick.  
	Malachite stumbles forward, but is able to hover in the air before regaining
his footing.  "Who dares!' he hisses.
	"Your orders were specific Malachite.  Gain possession of Happosai and
return with him to Queen Beryl.  What part of that did you not understand,"
chaffs a Tuxedo clad man with a top hat and cane.
	"You!  I should finish you off here and now, but I don't have the time for
this.  It doesn't matter really, because you have all become of no
consequence to me," grins Malachite as he begins to disappear.  "But just to
be safe, I'll take myself a hostage," he laughs as he reappears on the porch
next to Akane, who boy type Ranma was leaning on for support.
	"Oh no!, Never again!" roars Akane as she grabs Malachite's arm, and with a
sudden surge of strength, heaves him back outside.  He shifts his direction
and flies straight for the still unconscious Ukyou.  "Any old hostage will
do," he gloats as he grabs her and teleports away.  "Come after me, and it'll
be the last you see of her!  Let's go Happosai!"
	Finally getting the hang of his new powers, Happosai forms a force shield
around him.  Luna and Artemis bounce of this hard.  He then disappears in a
flash of light.
	"Damn!  He got away," curses Tuxedo Mask.
	"Ukyou, come back here with her!" screams Ranma as he leaps to where
Malachite had disappeared.  "Why don't you take Kuno instead!"
	Sailor Moon had managed to stand up, but was still only shoulder level to
Tuxedo Mask.  "Tuxedo Mask," mutters Sailor Moon weakly.  "Are you back on
our side?  Have you finally remembered our past?"
	Tuxedo Mask turns around and stares at her coldly.  Then, with an evil
smile, he says "I assure you, I'm not going back empty handed.  Either hand
me the moon crystal or prepare to meet your maker.  Either way, I win."
	Sailor Moon breaks down into tears.  Not her usual wails, but a genuine
broken heart.  She almost wants to give him the wand and be done with it.
 But she holds on, and implores "I can't give you the crystal.  I'll restore
your memories no matter what it takes.  Maybe then, we could finally be
together."
	"With a meatball head like you?  You must be joking," laughs Tuxedo Mask.
 "Meatball head?" he wonders.  "Just give me the crystal and then everything
will be fine.
	"NO!  Get away from me," Sailor Moon cries as she begins to scramble away
from him, "you're not the real Tuxedo Mask!"
	"I see you're not going to listen to reason," he remarks as he moves his
cane into an attack stance.  "Maybe you'll listen to this."
	"Stop!" bellows Ranma in a tired voice.  "I don't exactly know what's going
on around here, but I get the feeling she's the key to everything, so back
off now.  Or else."
	Tuxedo Mask quickly throws a rose at Ranma's head.  Ranma easily grabs it
with his hand and crushes it.  "Man, I've seen some pretty lame special
attacks in my time, but throwing roses?  That has got to be the gayest thing
I've ever seen."
	"Then perhaps you'd like to test your manhood in a real fight little boy?
 Or are you just a scared little girl," taunts Tuxedo Mask.
	"I'm not a girl!" screams Ranma as he leaps at Tuxedo Mask.
	"Ranma wait!" Akane yells after him.  "You're in no shape to fight him!
 You're too weak and banged up!"
	"Stay out of this Akane, I've got something to prove."
	Before he knows it, Tuxedo Mask had struck him in the stomach with his cane.
 Ranma quickly twists in the air so he catches the back of Tuxedo's head with
his elbow as Ranma falls to the ground.  He lands on his feet.
	"Not bad boy, perhaps you'll prove amusing after all."
	"The only thing funny after this will be your face."
	"Ranma, don't hurt him, he doesn't know what he's doing," pleas a sobbing
Sailor Moon.
	"That won't be a problem," brags Tux as he throws a hail of flowers at
Ranma.  Ranma uses the bee sting technique he learned at Mt.Terror and is
able to swat all the roses down without taking a hit.  "What?" utters a
shocked Tuxedo.
	Ranma then barrels down at him landing a kick into his face.  Still reeling,
Ranma uppercuts him, and follows it with a spinning roundhouse that sends Tux
flying into the wall of the Tendo house.  Ranma then rushes at him again.
	Tux points his hand at Ranma and suddenly a blast of energy shoots out.
 Ranma crashes into it like a freight train.  Ranma falls to the ground in
pain.  "Guess I was already exhausted," Ranma realizes.
	Tux, seeing his opponent down, quickly kicks Ranma in the gut, then slams
his cane into Ranma's back.  Ranma falls to the ground loosely.  "Heh, nice
fight, but now you die," mumbles Tux through clenched teeth.  He picks out a
rose, ready to lodge it into Ranma's head.
	"No, wait!" cries Akane as she begins to run to Ranma's side.  Acting on
instinct, Tuxedo throws the rose at Akane.  If she were as slow as Ranma
always said she was, the rose would have struck her heart.  Instead, she is
able to move so it only slashes her left arm.  "Ungh," winces Akane.
	"Akane!  Nobody touches my fiancee!" screams Ranma as he throws a foot into
Tux's chin.  He quickly pulls himself up to his feet and cries "Tencho
Amagureken!" as he begins to drive his fist into Tuxedo's gut a few hundred
times in a matter of seconds.  Ranma falls to the ground exhausted while
Tuxedo falls to the ground clutching his stomach, trying to breathe again.
 The cracked ribs weren't helping.
	Coughing out blood, Tuxedo also coughs out "I'm... not through yet... fight
until my... last breathe."
	"To your... last breathe... it is then," rebuts Ranma, after he realized
Akane was only scratched.
	Sailor Moon, realizing that both of them meant what they said, quickly pulls
out her moon wand.  "I hope this to works on Tux again," she thinks.  "Moon
Healing Activation!" she chants as she forms a circle around her with the
moon wand.
	A bathe of light showers Tux, as he begins to tremble in midair.  He gets
out a low howl before falling back to the ground.  "Don't know... what you
tried to do... but it didn't work."
	A defeated Sailor Moon falls to the ground.  "I didn't get his memory back.
 I... I don't know what to do," she cries.
	"Memory?  He lost his memory," thinks Akane.  Akane quickly runs over to
Shampoo who was finally beginning to awaken.  "Shampoo wake up!  It's
important!  Ranma's life may be at stake, wake up!"
	Hearing Ranma's name, Shampoo quickly regains her composure.  "What wrong
with Ranma?  Shampoo help him fight," she says as she readies to attack Tux.
	"No Shampoo," Akane says as she tries to hold her back.  "What we need is
the Xiang High Fiatsu attack and formula 109.  You've got to use it on the
guy in the Tux!"
Akane looks at Ranma and Tux who had both begun to get to their feet.
 Someone could get seriously hurt this time.  "You've got to hurry Shampoo,"
pleads Akane nervously.
	"Die!" the two combatants scream at each other as they both move in for a
final blow, but Ranma quickly stops as he sees a blur leap onto Tux's back.
	With amazing speed, Shampoo trims Tux's hair, shampoos it, combs it, and
blow dries it all in a matter of seconds.  Tux falls to the ground as Shampoo
leaps off his back.
	"Tuxedo Mask," yells Sailor Moon as she rushes to his side.  She rolls him
over onto his back, and props his head up.  "Please be okay, Tux, please...
say something."  The tears had begun to flow, and her cries turned into sobs.
 "It's me, meatball head, wake up and make fun of me.  Please, just wake up."
	"You and your meatballs are definitely not the first things I'd like to see
when I wake up," joked a still very groggy Tux.  He's surprised by the sudden
hug from Sailor Moon, who was sobbing uncontrollably into his chest.  He
winces in pain,  "What's wrong with her," wonders Tux.  He slowly begins to
push her away.  "Your friends are all waking up and my ribs still hurt," he
gently murmurs.
	Sailor Moon, trying to regain control of herself, regains her composure,
wipes the tears away, and teases "it's about time you woke up, Mars.  And
here, I had to get back Tuxedo Mask all by my little self."
	"Hey, I did most of the work..." Ranma tries to say before Akane put her
hand over his mouth.
	"Is it true Tuxedo Mask, are you really back on our side?" asks Mars.
	"If you people are willing to take me back..."
	"Of course!" Mars happily chirps as she prepares to hug him.
	Out of nowhere, Sailor Moon shoves her away.  "How could we survive without
you," she says as she hugs him herself.
	Tux looks down on her in confusion.  "What's wrong with Serena?  She's
acting as if she has some sort of crush on me," he ponders.
	"Sailor Moon, even with Tuxedo Mask back on our side, I still don't know if
we have enough firepower to take out Malachite, Happosai, and Queen Beryl,"
observes Luna.  "With Happosai on their side, the negaverse may be
unstoppable!"
	"We have to go to the negaverse," comments Tux seriously.  He turns to all
the scouts.  "I'm assuming the five of you can teleport there with me along."
	"You ain't going nowhere without me.  That creeps got Ukyou, and I'm going
to get her back," declares Ranma.
	"I'm going too.  Ukyou is a friend of mine as well."  Akane pauses after she
says this.  A thought had crossed her mind, "Ranma's so worried about her,
maybe she's the one he actually lo...," she shakes the thought off, worrying
she was actually about to get jealous of the insensitive creep.  "Ukyou is my
friend, and alot nicer that Shampoo or Kodachi," she says to herself.
	"Shampoo no see why Ranma so worried about stupid spatula girl, but Shampoo
go where husband go."
	At the moment Kuno regained consciousness, he had quickly run over and swept
Mercury off her feet.  "The devil himself has tried to prevent the advance of
our desire, but even he dare not perturbed the blue thunder, Tatewaki Kuno.
 Now my blue haired beauty, let the glow of the blue thunder smother you," he
poets as he moves in to kiss her.
	"Snap out of it Romeo, she didn't get hit that hard," reprimands Lita as she
lifts him by the hair and then smashes his face to the ground.
	"Wow, that's some chick," remarks Ranma. 
	"Ranma, no Baka!" yells Akane as she knocks him upside the head.
	"Let's stick with English," a sign Genma holds up reads.
	By then, Mousse had awaken and was talking about the names he wanted to give
his first son /or daughter to a stone fountain.
	"By the way pops," questions Ranma, "are you coming along too?"
	"Yeah dad," Akane also asks.
	Genma holds up a sign saying "Ding Dong the witch is dead, the wicked witch,
the wicked witch...," while Soun starts singing the same tune.  Genma
grumbles to the tune as well.
	"You know, if you thought Happosai was bad before, what do you think it'll
be like once he starts to rule the world?" taunts Ranma.
	Genma and Soun both fall down in a weird pose that only Japanese people find
amusing.  Genma holds up a sign reading "I need to pack my toothbrush."
	"Okay then, it's set, we're all going to save Ukyou and get Happosai back to
normal," Ranma shudders, as the thought that the old Happy was actually
preferable.
	"I don't know if we have enough power, but I guess we'll have to try.
 Everybody, hold hands," orders Luna.
	As they all hold hands in a circle, a bright glow begins to surround
everyone.  "Kuno, you're squeezing the blood out of my hand," pleads Mercury.
 "Shampoo, you're hand is so... hairy," claims a bewildered Mousse holding
Genma's hand.  "Rei, we need to talk about... us," silently whispers Tux to
Mars.  "Ranma..." Akane begins.  "Akane..." Ranma says at the same time.
	"Bye, bye everyone.  Have a nice trip.  Mr. Saotome, you forgot your
toothbrush..." but before Kasumi can give it to him, a bright beam of light
shoots upward from inside the circle.  "Sailor Teleport!" the scouts shout
and they all disappear with the light, leaving only a few chunks of dirt
falling back to the earth.
	"Oh my, I do hope they all take care of themselves."
	Luna walks beside Artemis.  "Do you think they're ready for this Artemis?"
	"I would have liked to have held this off at least another week, but I guess
it really is a moot point.  They're the only ones that can do it now."
	"Hmmm," grumbles Nabiki.
	"Is something the matter Nabiki?" Kasumi asks.
	"It's just that I feel like I could've made a fortune off that ditzy blond
girl.  Now she's gone, and so's my best customer Kuno.  Not only that, but
Ranma and Akane basically generate in one way or another all my business.
 They'd better all make it back or I might have to adjust my spending."
 Inside, Nabiki thinks to herself "Guys, you have to all make it back
safely."

	In a flash of light, Tux and Sailor Moon reappear and fall onto the ground.
 Nobody else follows them.

Chapter 5: The Negaverse; A Nice Place To Visit, But You Wouldn't Want To Die
There

	A wave of negaforce energy, sharp as a razor, hot as magma, and stronger
than steel, smashes its way through those unlucky denizens of the negaforce
who happened to be within the vicinity of Queen Beryl when she found out what
had happened in Nerima.
	"I can't believe this!" she howls.  "Not only does that maggot Malachite
runaway with the most powerful human, but I lose Prince Darian to those
Sailor Brats and their new friends.  To top it all off, now they're HERE!"
she roars as another wave of negaforce energy destroy anyone who might have
survived the first onslaught.  "It's about time I took the initiative."
	With a snap of her fingers, a man dressed in the usual negaforce uniform,
appears.  Upon further inspection, his uniform is a different color from the
usual gray and dark gray shades.  Instead, it is predominantly dark gray with
purple.  The man himself has very silky, long black hair tied into a pony
tail, and a very young face.  His size is not particularly intimidating.
	"Fossilite, are you ready to become a full time general in the invincible
forces of the negaforce?" asks Beryl.
	"Did Malachite disappoint you as much as all the other's already my Queen?
 Do not fear, I shall triumph where all the others have failed," the young
man gushes confidently.
	"You're still a little too raw if I had a choice, but I don't have anyone
else at hand.  You're the most promising of the vermin we've produced in the
last century, so you get the nod."
	"My Queen, you have no need to be unconfident, I shall crush your foes.  Are
they not at this moment scattered and disorientated?  They shall be less than
a challenge."
	"Do not be too overconfident my neophyte, that has been the downfall of many
others.  Until you have completed this mission ridding me of those accursed
scouts and brought back Happosai and Malachite, you shall not receive your
generalship.  In fact, I feel a more experienced, if not incompetent, hand
may be needed in this matter," she says as she waves her hand in the air.
	An energy maelstrom begins to swirl, and a huge diamond can be seen to take
its place.  All of the sudden, the diamond shatters, and a blond figure with
short hair wearing a negaforce general uniform falls onto the ground,
completely disorientated.
	"What... what happened to me.  I was just fighting Tuxedo Mask... I failed
my mission and came back... then, then..." he stops as he remembers his
merciless Queen encasing him in a block of ice for all of eternity.
	"Welcome back Jeddite," Beryl greets.  "Keep in mind, if it wasn't for the
desperate times around here now, you would still be frozen for all time.  As
it is, I need all the suitable hands I can get."
	He stares at her, trying to grasp the full picture.  This woman, who would
have frozen him forever if she didn't need him, now wants him to be her
lackey again?  He shrugs it off and realizes he would have done the same.
 The negaverse permits no mercy.  "What would you have me do my queen?" he
answers humbly.
	"Fossilite, update Jeddite on our current situation, and cooperate with him
to the fullest.  He is after all, still your superior.  And one more thing
Jeddite, if you accomplish the tasks before you, I shall grant you a reprieve
from eternal darkness."
	"Your majesty is too generous," bows Jeddite as he follows Fossilite.
	"I don't need this skeleton barking orders at me now.  Damn the Queen, I
could have handled those brats by myself," thinks Fossilite.
	"Who is this whelp?  I must prove to the Queen that I am her top general and
need not some novice following me around," muses Jeddite.

	Tux slowly regains his bearings, teleportation can whack your senses around,
and realizes that they're on hard rock floor.  He looks around and just see's
rock everywhere.  They've materialized inside some caverns.  "I think I've
been here," he tries to remember, then realizes that his memories of being a
negaforce agent were fading.
	"Uhhh," groans Sailor Moon.  She crawls to Tux, and plops herself into his
lap.  "Where is everybody?"
	"I don't know for sure, but I think we either didn't have enough power to
teleport everybody, or we all teleported, but couldn't stay together due to
the number of people, and were all scattered somewhere in here."  He pulls
himself up as Sailor Moon's head hits the ground.  "Sailor Moon, don't you
have a way to communicate with the other's?"
	"Yes, I do Tuxedo Mask, but I don't want to use it quite yet," she says as
she walks up to him.  "I was hoping we would find some time alone to talk
about us."
	"Us?" Darian questions with a confused look on his face.
	"Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask.  Serena and Darian.  Princess Serenity and
Prince Darian.  Us."  She holds his hand with both of hers.  "Don't you
remember?"
	"Prince Darian... no I don't remember ever being a prince.  I'm Darian, and
for some reason or another, I turn into Tuxedo Mask.  I know I'm supposed to
protect you and the moon crystal, that much is clear to me.  Actually, I was
hoping the crystal would help me understand my past a little better, but it
didn't really."  He pulls his hand away from Sailor Moon.  "But I don't
remember any 'us.'  The only person I've been with lately is your friend
Sailor Mars, who I figured was Rei after I found out you were Sailor Moon.
 Before I got impaled."  He turns around to look at Sailor Moon, whose eyes
were beginning to fill with tears.  "Do you know something I don't?
 Something about my past?  Was there a us a long time ago?"  He quickly grabs
Sailor Moon by the arms and looks at her sad face.  "That would explain some
of my dreams actually.  Serena, tell me the truth, is there something I
should know?"
	Serena wipes the tears from her eyes.  She wants to tell him so much that
they were destined to be together.  That they had risked each other's life
for their love.  She wanted him to tell her he loved her!  She backs away
from Tuxedo Mask.  "No, it's nothing.  It's just that I used to have this
silly crush on Tuxedo Mask, that's all."  She continues to wipe her drenched
eyes, desperately trying to stop crying.  "Besides, I don't think I like him
as much *sniff* since I found out he was a jerk named Darian," she tries to
joke, but her crying breaks her voice.  She had to admit to herself that
Darian doesn't love her.  He didn't love her before he got impaled, there was
no reason he would after.  Whatever they had in the past, it did not carry
into the present.
	"Hey meatball head, I used to think Sailor Moon was pretty cute too, boy was
I blind!" joked Darian.   He knew there was more to this then she was letting
on, but he didn't want to push.  He took a hold of her hand.  "We should be
moving now though, the negaforce might find us here if we stick around in one
place too long.  We'll call the others once we put some distance from here."
 He leads her down the caverns.  "Honestly though, I guess I am pretty stupid
not being able to figure out you were Sailor Moon.  Both of you are clutzy
meatball heads.  Not too many people like that besides you out there," he
chides.
	Serena follows after him like a little puppy, tightly holding his hand in
hers.  She was beginning to feel better, and couldn't just let him make fun
of her like that.  "You're also pretty dumb if you thought that lame mask was
hiding your identity.  I suspected you were Tuxedo Mask the whole time, but
couldn't believe a stud like him was you.  Guess that mask hides your beady
little eyes."
	"You have a problem with my eyes," reacts Darian amiably.
