				The Call of Destiny
				         Part 2

	Serena went to the park again the day after seeing Tuxedo Mask nearly lose
his manhood.  She saw Darien sitting on a park bench again, this time
watching other people pass by.  Serena quietly walked up to him.
	"Mind if I sit down?" she asked.  Darien looked at her.  She was
silhouetted against the sun-lit sky.  This was a first.  She was nice.
	"Sure."  Darien scooted over to allow her sitting room.  He looked at her
as she looked up at the sky.  The radiance of the sun paled to her radiance
in this light.
< She's not that hard to look at. >  Darien noticed something was bothering
her.
	"Serena, is something wrong?"  She looked at him, then down at the bench,
then at the ground in front of her.  "Serena, if you've got something on
your mind, you can tell me."  OK.  Now he was being nice to her.  This was
different.  Serena only stared at the ground.  "Serena, if you keep things
inside, it's painful.  It's a lot like gas."
	"What?!" Serena almost shouted as she looked at Darien in surprise.
	"Really!  It is.  If you hold gas in, it hurts.  If you let it out, you
feel better.  You might get some strange looks, but you feel better." 
Darien smiled as Serena did.
	"Well, I guess you got a point.  But I don't feel like sharing now. 
You'll just think I'm stupid."
	"No I won't."  Darien had no idea he was about to hear what he did.
	"Well, you know that Tuxedo Mask guy?  Well, I think I know who he is."
	"Really?  Tell me."  Now what?  If she said it was him, what would he say?
 He would find out soon enough.
	"Well, you.  I saw his hair, and it's the same as yours.  And he sounds
like you, and--"
	"Serena, stop.  What if I was Tuxedo Mask?  What would you do?"
	"I... I don't... know..." Serena said, not taking her eyes away from him. 
"Ya know, I do know the Sailor Soldiers..."
	"You know Sailor Moon?"
	"Um..."  Well, she did technically know herself.  "Yeah.  I could get you
two together to talk or somethin'.  I mean, if you are Tuxedo Mask."
	"Yes...  I am."  Darien got up.  "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go."
	"All right."  Darien walked away.  Now Serena knew who he was.  Why didn't
he lie to her?  Why didn't he just say no?  And why didn't he WANT to lie
to her?


	Serena still sat on the park bench.  < Should I tell him who I am?  Or
should I let him see it?  If I told him he'd never believe that I could be
Sailor Moon...  Oh, what am I gonna do? >  Serena got up.  Darien was
right.  She did feel better after getting that out.  She headed out of the
park.


	Malachite stood, facing Zoisite.  He fixed his gaze on the young, eager
eyes of his apprentice.  "First," Malachite said, "reach inside yourself. 
Find your inner strength."  There was a pause as Zoisite did this.  "Now,
pull out that strength.  Use it to channel the elemental you were born to
control."  Malachite noticed a flame surrounding both of Zoisite's hands. 
"Now, unleash it!  Send the flame toward the ceiling!"
	Zoisite thrust his hands upward.  Flames shot from his fingertips.  They
collided with the ceiling.  Part of it was shattered by the impact and fell
to the floor between Malachite and Zoisite.
	"Very good," Malachite said.  "With proper practice, you shall master your
elemental.  The elemental of fire."  Zoisite's eyes beamed.  "Zoisite, I am
so proud of you right now."
	"Oh Malachite, this is a very happy day for me."
	"Yes indeed.  Now what do you say we practice that fire on the Sailor
Soldiers?"
	"You read my mind."


	"So," Lita said as she entered Rei's room.  "What's this meeting about? 
The usual?"
	"Pretty much, yeah," Rei responded.  "We need to figure out how Malachite
knew where we meet.
	"Because," all the Soldiers heard a voice say.  It was recognizable as
Malachite's.  "The Negaverse sees everything.  Now come outside and fight. 
Or I will be forced to come in after you!"  Rei looked at Amy and Lita, the
only other Soldiers who were there.
	"Better to trash the yard than my room."
	"Right," Amy said.  "Mercury Power, Transform!"
	"Mars Power, Transform!"
	"Jupiter Power, Transform!"  The Soldiers were transformed in a matter of
seconds.  "Um," Jupiter said, "where's Sailor Moon?"
	"Late as usual.  Let's just see if we can fend him off," Mars said.


	Outside, the Soldiers saw Malachite.  They saw Zoisite, also.
	"What's HE doing here?!" Mercury asked.
	"Zoisite is your enemy today, girls!  I'm only here to watch!"  Zoisite
leaped from the ground into the air, and assumed a sitting position in
mid-air.  He had his legs crossed.
	"So, girls.  I'm so glad you could make it.  Now if you don't mind, I'd
like to barbecue you!"  Zoisite straightened, and thrust his hands outward.
 Fire shot from his fingertips.  It shot straight for Mars, who was barely
able to dodge.  She did manage, but could not keep her balance, and went
tumbling to the ground.  She immediately felt it.
	"Ow!" she yelled as she grabbed her ankle.  She knew she had twisted it. 
Maybe she had broken it.  She didn't know.
	"Ha!" Zoisite shouted.  "You girls are no match for me!"  He shot fire at
Jupiter and Mercury.  He missed Jupiter, as she dodged successfully.
	"Mercury Bubbles--."  She didn't finish.  Instead, she only screamed as
the fire hit her in the chest.
	"I'm getting pretty good at this," Zoisite said.
	"Don't get cocky," Malachite said.  "And don't get carried away.  Tuxedo
Mask is not here yet."
	"I don't get it," Zoisite said.  "He's usually here by now."
	"You want Tuxedo Mask?!" Jupiter shouted at them.  "Well you're not in
luck!  He can't sense when we're in danger.  Just when Sailor Moon's in
danger!  And she's not here!"  That steamed Zoisite.
	"Then I'll just have to settle for killing you three!"


	Serena walked to the entrance to the yard of Rei's temple, and saw the
brawl.  She was not noticed by the Negaverse warriors, as their back was to
her.  She quickly and quietly transformed.


	Zoisite sent another fireball at Mars.  She saw it coming, and there was
nothing she could do.  It was too fast to counter it.  And dodging was out
of the question.


	"Moon Tiara Magic," Serena whispered as she let her tiara turned disc fly.


	The fireball sped toward Mars.  Then she saw something flash in front of
it, and the fireball was dispelled.  "What the..?" Mars whispered.
	"I am Sailor Moon!" shouted the late Soldier.  "On behalf of the Moon--"
	"Oh shut up!" Zoisite yelled as he floated to the ground, turned and faced
Sailor Moon.  "We know who you are.  And I am so glad you could come." 
Zoisite walked toward Sailor Moon.  He was within a foot of her as he gazed
into her eyes.  "I smell fear.  That's smart."  He quickly spun around and
kicked Sailor Moon across the face.  She fell to the ground.  Blood ran
from her mouth.
	"Now," Malachite said.  "Now she's in danger."
	"Jupiter Thunder Crash!"  The lightning bolt sped toward Zoisite. 
Malachite quickly transported between the blast and Zoisite, made a
force-field around himself, and caught the bolt.  Without warning, it was
sent back to Jupiter at twice the speed she had sent it.  She jumped out of
the way as the bolt struck the ground, making grass and dirt fly into the
sky.
	"Come on, Jupiter.  This does not concern you," Malachite said.
	"It concerns me when Sailor Moon is involved!"  She rushed in for
hand-to-hand combat.  Big mistake.  Malachite sent her flying backward and
into the temple.
	"No, it doesn't!"
	"Come on Sailor Moon!" Jupiter called as she got to her knees.  "Kick
their asses!"  Malachite turned so that he was beside Zoisite, facing
sailor Moon, who had risen to her feet.
	"You've got guts," Zoisite said.  "Or you're stupid."  Zoisite picked
Sailor Moon up by the throat.  He insides were racked.  She wanted to cry,
but she didn't want to let him know she was scared.  She did scream.  Right
after Zoisite threw back to her friends, while she was in the air.  She hit
her head against the steps to the temple.  Sailor Moon was knocked
unconcious.
	"Well, this has been fun."  Zoisite's eyes narrowed as he got ready to
finish off Sailor Moon with a fire blast.  He held out his hands.  Fire
began swirling around them.  He was ready to unleash all of his fury on
Sailor Moon.  Jupiter was too weak to do anything.  So was Mercury.  And
Mars had been rendered helpless early on.
	"Go on Zoisite.  Kill the brat."  The fire stopped swirling.  Zoisite held
his left hand with his right as he winced in pain.  He looked to his left,
and saw it sticking out of the ground.  The rose.  That red rose that
always was followed by...
	Zoisite looked to the roof to see Tuxedo Mask!  He had finally shown up. 
Zoisite was very pleased.  He was ready to kill Tuxedo Mask, and get those
crystals.
	"All right cape boy.  You and me.  Hand-to-hand.  Right here, right now!"
	"With pleasure!"  Tuxedo Mask leaped from the roof, and landed about ten
feet in front of Zoisite.  "But Malachite can't interfere.  Or there's no
fight."  Malachite eyed Tuxedo Mask.  He was smart.  Malachite had to give
him that.  But he was also foolish.
	"Fine," Malachite said.  "I'll just watch.  You have my word."  Malachite
stepped back.  "Get it on."
	The two combatants moved closer.  They stared at each other in the eyes
for a long time.  "You know," Zoisite said.  "A real fighter never conceals
his identity.  I would have thought you knew that."
	"Well, I bend the rules a bit."  Tuxedo Mask punched, kicked, and swirled.
 Zoisite blocked every blow.  He then executed a low spin kick, which
Tuxedo Mask jumped over.  Tuxedo Mask kicked at Zoisite's unprotected head.
 He scored a direct hit, knocking Zoisite down.  Zoisite rolled with it,
doing a backward somersault before springing to his feet.
	"I have a confession to make," Zoisite said.  He threw fire at Tuxedo
Mask, hitting him in the face.  His hat was sent flying, it hat landed
nearly thirty feet away!  It was on fire.  "I don't bend the rules.  I
break 'em!"  Zoisite shot more fire at Tuxedo Mask, who managed to dodged
it.  But he was quickly wearing out.
	While dodging a ball of fire, Tuxedo Mask flipped backward in the air,
took
out a rose, and threw it at Zoisite, all in one motion!  The rose stuck in
Zoisite's chest.
	"That's it!  Now I'm mad!"  Zoisite sent an entire wall of flame speeding
at Tuxedo Mask.  It was too high to jump, even for him.  And there was no
way he was going to get around it.  It looked like he was done for, as well
as the rest of the Soldiers.
	"Dear God, please find a way to get us out of this!"  That way came none
too soon.  He heard someone shouting.
	"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"  The beam seared right through the fire,
making it disappear as it sped to an unsuspecting Zoisite.  It hit him
square in the face, knocking him backward and on his back.
	"Who's there!?" Malachite shouted.  He looked up to see what looked like a
Sailor Soldier on the roof.
	"I am Sailor Venus.  Or, as you may know me already, Sailor V!"  She
jumped down to the ground.  "And you are just no good scum.  That means I
must fight you!"  Sailor Venus did not have her full sailor V uniform on;
she was missing her mask.
	"I am not impressed."  Malachite looked at Zoisite.  He was bleeding
badly.  "But we will be going now.  Next time, you will all die, and those
crystals will be mine!"  Malachite picked up Zoisite, and both disappeared
to go back to their world.
	Venus turned to look at the injured fighters of justice.  "Let's get you
all inside somewhere."
	"This is my home," Mars said.  "It's OK to go in here."
	"Right."  Tuxedo Mask stood up.
	"I'll carry Sailor Moon.  Can you carry Mars?"
	"Sure," Sailor Venus said.
	"I can walk," Jupiter said.


	Once they were all inside, the Soldiers powered down to their human forms.
 Sailor Moon's power-down was involuntary.  It just happed because there
was no more threat for the time being.  Tuxedo Mask stayed as Tuxedo Mask.
	"Can you take care of them?"
	"Yes," Venus said.  Tuxedo Mask turned to go out the door.  "Hey, wait! 
Where are you going?"
	"I'm going home."
	"Don't be ridiculous!  You're hurt!  I'm going to put bandages on those
burns."
	"No you're not."  Tuxedo Mask went out the door.  The girl who was sailor
Venus turned her attention to the wounded Soldiers.  Mars looked at Tuxedo
Mask as he disappeared around a corner.  Her eyes were teary.
	"So," the blond-haired savior said.  "My name is Mina.  What are your
names?"


	Tuxedo Mask stood on his balcony, letting the wind blow over him.  < So, >
he thought.  < Sailor Moon and Serena are the same person.  At least I
didn't tell a Negaverse spy who I was.  But I wasn't chancing it Sailor
Venus.  The Negaverse can be sneaky.  She might actually be a spy to find
out who I am.  Well she's not gonna knoow just yet. >  Tuxedo Mask went
inside, powered down, and went to the bathroom to get a cold wash-cloth. 
He had to put something on his burns.  < That feels better, > he thought
after the coldness of the cloth was applied to the intense heat of his
second-degree burns.
	Darien laid down on his sofa.  He kept thinking about the new information
he had discovered.  Sailor Moon and Serena.  The same person.  Still, he
had to keep in mind that if even she were to get in his way of obtaining
all seven rainbow crystals, he would need to do the necessary things. 
Absolutely anything.  < I MUST find out who I am. >


				To Be Continued....
