Serena felt a whoosh of wind, and she was Riana once again. She got off of the bed she was laying on. She walked downstairs and saw Ryo, Kento, Sage, Cye, and Rowen sitting around the fireplace with the Warlords!

“What are you doing here? Get out, NOW!” Riana yelled, and they all looked at her like she was crazy. “It’s ok, Riana,” Ryo said. “They’re on our side now, remember?”

“Oh, yeah. I forgot. Silly me,” she said and snuggled up beside Cye.

“Talpa is planning a powerful attack,” Anubis said. ?

“Yes,” Lady Kayura said, “and we don’t know if how bad it will be.”

“Well,” Cale and Dais said, “all we know right now is that he is going to join forces with a new enemy.”

“Galaxia,” Riana murmured.

The Ronins thought that she had said that stuff about Talpa and Galaxia because of a bump on her head when she fell after the attack, but now they weren’t so sure.

“Well,” said Sekhmet, “we don’t know her name, Young Wildfire.”

The former Warlords called the Ronins by their Armors’ names, but since Riana and Ryo had the same

Armors, the Warlords called Riana Young Wildfire and Ryo Wildfire.

“Well, I,” she started to say, and Sage cut in. “She had a bad attack and she should be resting.” He didn’t want her to share this information with the Warlords yet.

“Ummmm, yeah, I should be in the bed,” she said.

“I’ll walk you, Riana,” Cye said.

“No, I’ll walk her,” Sage said. I really need to talk to her, he thought.

“Ok, Sage,” Riana replied.

They quietly walked up the stairs to Riana’s room.

“Ryo told us while you were asleep a while ago not to let you tell the Warlords about this,” Sage said. “Why?”

“ In case they tried to use you. We didn’t want you to get hurt,” Sage said.

“Oh, well, you were right. I did get a bad bump on the head when I fell down,” Riana told Sage.

“Ok, get some rest, Mini-Ryo. We’ll see you in the morning,” Sage told her.

“I am not Ryo’s Mini-Me! I am Riana,” she said gleefully, hitting Sage with a pillow on his way out of her room. He went downstairs and Riana closed her eyes.

<~*~>

Sailor Moon said, “Go Scouts!”

Sailor Mercury used her best attack. “AQUA RAPSHODY!” she cried.

The Evil Scouts were stunned for a minute. But they kept rampaging towards Sailor Moon!

“Protect the Princess!” Sailor Jupiter yelled. “JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!”

But, that still didn’t stop them!

Sailor Moon was having a rough time. She was running as fast as she could from the

Evil Scouts and they were chasing her. “I’m getting really tired of this!” she screamed.

“MARS FLAME SNIPER!” Sailor Mars said, and Sailor Uranus used, “SPACE SWORD BLASTER!? at the same time.

That had them unconscious long enough for Sailor Mini-Moon to call Pegasus. She had her Crystal Bell in her hand. Mini-Moon called, “Please, Pegasus, help us save Sailor Moon!” Then she yelled,
“CRYSTAL TWINKLE BELL!”

The Moon Kaleidoscope appeared behind Sailor Moon. She grabbed it and cried these words, “MOON GORGEOUS MEDITATION!”

Sailor Iron Mouse laughed. “Your little attacks are no good. We shall win!” she said.

“Oh no, I think not,” said Sailor Moon. “Everyone use your most powerful attack, now! SILVER MOON CRYSTAL KISS!”

“MERCURY AQUA MIRAGE!”

“MARS FLAME SNIPER!”

“JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!”

“VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!”

“DEAD SCREAM!”

“SPACE SWORD BLASTER!”

“SUBMARINE REFLECTION!”

“SILENCE GLAIVE SURPRISE!”

“STAR SERIOUS LAZER!”

“STAR SENSITIVE INFERNO!”

“STAR GENTLE UTERUS!”

And, Tuxedo Mask threw a rose at them and gave them bad cuts on their faces.

“AUGHHHHHH, BEAUTIFUL!” all of the Evil Scouts cried.

“Ok, they’re gone,? Sailor Moon said.

Then they heard a cry of, “PEGASUS!” They turned around to see Sailor Mini-Moon run up to Pegasus and throw her arms around his neck. He transformed into Helios, the Guardian of Elysium and the Golden Crystal.

“Little Maiden,” he said.

“Oh, Helios, I’m so glad to see you!” Rini cried.

“Helios, we need you to stay here for a while. Something terrible will happen, and we need as much help as we can get,” Serena said. All the Scouts had de-transformed and were in their normal clothes. They went to Serena’s house.

Rini sat near Helios, and explained what had happened. He nodded his head and said,

“Ill stay as long as I can. But, Elysium needs me to guard it and the Golden

Crystal.”

“So you’ll stay?” Amy asked.

“As long as I can.”

“Thank you, Helios,” Rini said. “And we really need to catch up.”

“Let’s give them a few minutes,” Mina said.

Darien looked as though he was about to give Helios a little talking-to, but he changed his mind. They all filed downstairs and sat down on the couch, chairs, floor, wherever they could.

Lita said, “Well, at least Rini has her love back.”

“Yes,” said Michelle, “but we need to figure out how to stop Galaxia.”

Serena snuggled up beside Darien and he said, “Serena, I want you to tell me more about that vision of yours.”

“Ok, well here is what happened when I was asleep. This girl came up to me and asked me to share a life force with me. I had no clue what she was talking about, so I said ok.” Serena’s mind changed again.

<~*~>

Riana was walking with Cye at the beach, and he was about to go for a swim. He asked her to join him, and she agreed. He took off his shirt and got in the water, then held out his hand to her. She grasped it and he held her hand while he treaded water.

“Oh!” she said. She almost lost grip on his hand, and he pulled her close. “Oh,” she said.

Cye said, “We better get back to land, because you aren’t really in a good condition to swim.”

Riana looked at him and nodded. He helped her to shore. They sat down and started talking.

“I love you, Cye,” Riana said, “and I don’t want you to get hurt trying to protect me.”

“I know, but I would die in this world without you,” he replied.

“Cye Mouri, I will always love you, but I will not let you get hurt on account of me,” Riana said.

“Are you breaking up with me?” he asked.

“No, I’m not, we need to take a break. Only for a little while, until this blows over,” Riana said.

“I don’t understand,” Cye said.

“If we are together during this, and they want me, they will take you captive to get to me, probably even kill you! I don’t want that to happen, Cye, because I love you way too much.? Riana said.

“I love you too, Riana, but I want to protect you, not stay away from you. I don’t want to stop loving you ever,” Cye told her. He took her in his arms and kissed her. Cye held her close, and said, ?I never want to be apart from you.?

“Or I of you, but?”

Then, all of a sudden, the Warlords came out of the forest.

“Hey, guys! What’s up?” Cye called.

Then, the Warlords started towards them! Sekhmet threw snakes at them to start off

with.

Riana and Cye called their armors. Cye yelled, “Armor of Torrent!”

And Riana shrieked, “Armor of Wildfire! We need to call the others!!!? Riana cried.

Her mind went back to Serena’s mind.

<~*~>

Darien and Serena were walking in the park. Darien rented a rowboat and took Serena out on the lake. “Darien, what’ll happen?” Serena asked.

Darien replied, “I don’t know. But, I promise I’ll protect you, no matter what happens.” And then he kissed her.

It was long and sweet, and Serena said, “I can’t wait for this to be over. I love you Darien. I love you a lot.”

“I love you, too Serena. But, we can’t risk you dying. Then, the whole timeline will be messed up.“ Darien said.

“What? Are you saying you would risk your life for me?” Serena asked.

“I did before, didn’t I?” Darien replied.

“Please, Darien. I would rather die before you, or any of the others. Don’t talk like that,” she said. They were about to get out of the boat, and Serena accidentally fell into Darien’s arms like she did the first time they went out on the lake. She blushed like crazy. “Well, we better get back,” Darien said.

“Yeah,” she said.

They walked back, and the others were at the park gate waiting for them.

“Well,” said Amy, “what Serena said is true. She really did switch places with Riana Sanada.”

The others nodded.

“I did? I TOLD YOU!!! HAHAHA!” Serena said, sticking her tongue out at them.

“Don’t rub it in, Meatball Head.” Raye said.

Rini walked downstairs with Helios. “Did you find out what is going on? Did you find

out whether it happened or not?” she asked.

Helios said, “Rini and I have talked about all that has happened, and I am going to help look for the Ronins also.”

Seiya said, “Well, our Princess needs us too, so we need to find these Ronins and find out what is happening.”

“Ok,” said Mina and Lita.

“We’ll teleport to the Ronins, and help them fight their battle, and return Riana to her brother,” Serena

said.

“Ok, but I’m going to call the shots, ok?”

“Dont I get to help, Serena?” Rini asked.

“Of course,” Serena said. “You all do.

“Luna and Artemis and Diana walked in.

Luna and Artemis were the guardian cats of the scouts. Luna was Serena’s cat and Artemis was Mina’s. In the future, they were going to have Diana, and she was going to be Rini’s cat. They had gone on a trip to America, and had just gotten back

“What is going on Serena?” Luna asked.

“Oh, Luna. You’re back from America already?” Serena asked.

“Yes, we are Serena. Now what is going on?” asked Artemis.

They all took turns telling what happened.

“Well,” said Luna, “we better get to wherever these Ronin Warriors are and fast!”

Serena felt a change of her thoughts.

<~*~>

“Talpa, darling,” said Galaxia, “when are your Warlord clones going to attack the

Ronins?”

“I sent them a little while ago. They should attack right about now,” said Talpa, “Now, my queen, here is your tiara.”

“Oh, Talpa, it’s beautiful,” Galaxia said.

“Only the most perfect for my bride. Real rubies, you know,” Talpa said. “Well, the Scouts are planning to find the Ronins and face off together. We can destroy them at the same time!”

“Yes, one by one, Galaxia said.

<~*~>

“DOUBLE FLARE UP NOW!!!” Ryo and Riana yelled. They were fighting against Anubis.

“And you said they were our friends?” Riana asked.

“This can’t be them!” Ryo yelled.

Kento yelled, “IRON ROCK CRUSHER!” and used it against Dais. “I only have one good attack, so what do I do now?” he complained.

“Let me help,” said Cye. “SUPER WAVE SMASHER!” he yelled, and knocked down Dais, then turned to fight Cale.

“Where’s Yulie? We need him to open the gate with the Jewel!” said Sage.

“He gave me the Jewel,” said Rowen. He held it up.

“Now what?” yelled Kento from where he was fighting with Dais, who had gotten back up. “E.T. phone home?”

“THUNDERBOLT CUT!” yelled Sage and he used it against Sekhmet.

“Don’t be stupid, Kento!” yelled Rowen. “ARROW SHOCK WAVE! Ryo, Riana! Get the Inferno Armors, NOW!”

“ARMOR OF INFERNO!? Ryo and Riana yelled at the same time. White Blaze turned into Black Blaze, and got his own armor. “Let’s go, bro!” Riana cried, and they attacked the Warlords with their most powerful attack. “DOUBLE RAGE OF INFERNO!” they both screamed. Then, the Warlords evaporated into thin air.

“Those weren’t the Warlords,” said Ryo.

“Clones,” Riana agreed.

“Maybe Dais was playing a trick on us,” suggested Kento.

“No, I think it was Talpa,” said Sage.

“Maybe,” said Cye.

“It was!” Rowen yelled.

Everyone looked at him in shock, because he was the quietest Ronin, and he never made a fuss about anything.

“Don’t you get it? Riana was telling the truth! She is sharing life-forces with someone!” Rowen yelled.

“Ok, Rowen,” Kento said, looking thunderstruck, “take a chill pill.”

Everyone looked at him, and started laughing.

“You are so stupid, you guys, and that is why I love all of you,” Riana said.

Ryo said, “Well, I am your brother.”

“Yeah, but I’m the cutest!” Kento said.

Sage said, “No, I’m the cutest.”

“Not again,” Riana and Ryo said, rolling their eyes.

“Maybe you’re the cutest? but I’m the hottest!” Rowen said.

“No, I’m the babe, ain’t I, Riana?” said Cye.

Then, all of the guys started to laugh.

“Oh my gosh,” Riana muttered under her breath.

Her mind changed.
