Chapter 2

"The Void?! Where's that?!" Serena asked.

"Ok, if memory serves me correctly, it's the place where Beryl send people to be 
punished by Eternal Slumber. Anywho, when you killed her, the Negaverse was 
destroyed, all except the Void. That's my brothers' hiding place." Son replyed. 
"Only accessable by my brothers and me."

"Ok, let's go and get them back!" Rini said, ready to transform.

"You're not powerful enough Rini." her mother said. "There was a power from 
the portal the likes I've never felt. It'd be dangerous for your to go it like you are, 
but I have a solution." She pulled out a weapon long forgotten, the Moon Sceptor, 
with the Imperium Crystal embedded inside.. "Take this, it'll protect you if you 
get in a bind."

"Okay mom......" Rini replyed as she raised it and yelled "Moon Imperium Power!" 
she then transformed into the original suit of her mother when she was Sailor Moon, 
but it was white and pink, along with some accessories from her suit. When it was 
finished, she was astonished, she felt like she could take on anyone. She looked at 
Son, and asked, "Son, what about you? You need a weapon." 

"Don't worry about me, I have a trick up my sleeve." He replied. "Ok, time to jump 
in there!" He held his hand out, and closed his eyes. Very quickly he opened a 
portal, but immeadiately it began to close. "Rini, jump in, and Serena, try to hold it
open as long as possible. I won't have enough power to bust through again if it closes."

Serena nodded as the two teenagers jumped into the portal, not knowing what 
layed aheadm but not caring, the lives of many were at stake. "Please, come 
back alive Son and Rini......" Serena said as she saw a drawing in the dirt that 
Son made. his hourglass symbol withing a crescent moon, with Rini's name in 
the moon. "Be careful...."

Meanwhile, Son and Rini floated blindly in the darkness. Rini wanted to ask if he 
had some sort of light to light up this place with, but before she could, Son held 
out his hand, and summoned a fireball in his hand, lighting up the area. He looked 
to her and said "And by the way, though I have the power to use the elements, my 
powers can't compare to each element of your friends, even put together I'm just 
as strong as any one of them."

Soon they came upon the group. They were locked within rectangular prism-like 
tombs. Son immeadiately had a plan. "I'll weld the prisms together, we'll drag 
these out. We'd better hurry, someone's coming..."

"Who?" Rini asked.

"My other brother, Stalker."

Son immediately went to work welding the prisms together. Rini waited and 
watched him, all the time thinking to herself. "He seems to tense, it isn't because 
of his brother though, or the mission. Is it because others are in danger?" Son 
then looked at her, then back to his job. "Of course, he's worried about me! But 
why? Could he accually...."

"Ok Rini, it's done, let's blow this joint!" Son said, pushing the prisms toward the 
portal. Rini was in front, after all, she should get out first. Son then looked over 
his shoulder, someone was fastly approaching, a man dressed like Stealer, except 
with dark red hair and eyes. It was his brother, Stalker.

"Throw the prisms out!" Rini said as she saw Stalker approaching. Son pushed 
the prisms out of the portal, Rini getting out of the way as the others exited the 
Void, the prisms dissappearing as they laid on the ground, waking up. They 
wondered what was going on, but decided not to intervene, they knew everyone 
were in danger.

"Rini, head to the portal, I'll fend off Stalker!" Son said, but it was too late. Stalker 
was infront of her, with a sadistic smile upon his face, and a hand outstretched to 
her, a spike coming from his palm directly straight at her heart. Rini was frozen 
stiff with fear, this was it, Son couldn't possibly save her now. She looked into the 
eyes of Stalker, his eyes so empty, even emptier than Son's. She thought she'd 
surely parish.

"Princess of the neo-kingdom, so good to finally meet you. I'm Soul-Stalker, and
now it's time for you to say goodbye. DIE!"

But before he could fire the spike, Son came from out of nowhere and thrusted his 
hands forward, his eyes glowing, his hair changing to white, his attention turned to 
saving Rini. "Epoch Star Beam!" he yelled as a white beam of light emmited from 
his hands, hitting Stalker straight in his heart, going through him. Immediately he 
through Rini through the portal, just as Serena lost the strength to keep it open. The 
portal closed with Son still left inside.Rini closed her eyes, running away to her room, 
knowing in her heart Son was doomed.

Meanwhile in the Void, Son hovered over Stalker, his hands pulled back, ready to 
unleash another Epoch Star Beam. Suddenly, something made his rage go away. 
A tear streamed from Stalkers face as his eyes met Son's, and for once Son knew 
he was crying, but for what reason?

"Son," Stalker said. "I'm sorry for what happened in the past, I was a fool to think 
my ways would lead me to true happiness, after all, that's all mother wanted, us to 
be happy."

"How could you say that?!" Son replied. "She wanted the whole universe destroyed! 
She only cared for her mission, not us!"

"Wrong. The only reason you were shunned and tortured was because she was 
scared of your true potential. She knew you would one day turn against her, the 
Negaverse, or even us, so she tried to kill you, but you previaled, you survived, 
me and Stealer wasn't so lucky. We became pawns in her plan, because she 
knew we could rule the universe once Serenity's daughter was killed.  That's 
what we wanted, but she failed. I didn't want to come to terms that true happiness 
isn't from dark ways, so I teamed up with Stealer to kill you and try to overtake 
the universe ourselves. But he tricked me, I understand now." Stealer held his heart 
as he faded quickly. "Brother, All my hatred and darkness has gone from me, I can 
now die in happiness."

"No, Stalker! Don't Die!" Son yelled.

"Don't worry....about me....just kill stealer, he is pure evil, takes after mom." he 
chuckled as his eyes closed. " Destroy him......only way.....you can live.....happily....
goodbye brother...." Stalker's heart stopped beating as his life ended. His body 
glowed brightly and exploded, causing a portal to the outside world. Son floated 
through it, but as he looked back, there was Stealer, smirkin evilly. Son immediately 
went through and sealed the portal, trapping Stealer inside.

"You'll not be so lucky next time brother!" Stealer said as he laughed darkly in the 
evil darkness of the Void.


The next day there was a big celebration. Food, dancing, fun, all for Son and Rini's 
courage for saving them all. While the dancing was going on, Darien saw Son out 
on the balcony, leaning against a wall, looking out to the sunset as he sipped his drink. 
Darien walked up to him and asked "Hey Son, you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine....just lost in thought.." he replied, looking over his shoulder.

Darien could tell Son had something on his mind, he could see it in his eyes. He 
walked over to him and leaned against the wall beside him. "Mind telling me what's
 on your mind? Must be something tearing your apart."

"Have you ever felt something within you that you can't get rid of? A certain 
feeling that's great, but at the same time drive you mad?" 

Darien looked at him confused, wondering what the heck he meant. Then Son 
looked at him with a sort of sad look, one he doesn't give very often. "It's about 
your daughter, let's keep it at that..." he looks off to the sunset, going back in 
thought. Darien became concerned, but then realizes what he means, then relaxed 
a bit. "You mean you..."

"Yes, yes I do."
