Serena's cry reverberated through the room. "Luna!" she exclaimed again. The Winx and Specialist's heads were down in despair.

"Poor girl," Flora said sympathetically. "She lost one of her best friends" the nature fairy walked over to the wailing blonde girl and pulled her into an embrace.

Bloom was in a state of absolute rage. "Queen Metalia..." she growled. "She'll pay for taking Luna, and making Serena cry!"

"What do you think will happen to Luna?" Techna asked.

"I don't know, I'm not so sure I want to think about it..." Aisha replied.

"Luna..." Serena whisper-cried. Flora had slightly calmed her down. "This is too horrible!"

"Calm down sweetie, we'll save her, no matter what" said Flora. Serena sniffed in reply. "LUNA!!!!!" Everyone could've swore her scream broke the decibel scale.

Strong power radiated through the room. Her cries were emanating sound waves that doubled as attacks. "Serena, calm down!" Musa shouted. Her sensitive ears were about to burst.

A blast of white light shot up from her forehead, making intense power waves jolt through everything, making some items (the ones that weren't already broken from the whining attack) shatter.

"This power, its stronger than the Dragon Flame!" Stella exclaimed in shock. "That's the power of grief for you!" Techna yelled over Serena's wailing, for whatever reason still not believing anything was stronger than the Dragon Flame.

Bloom had to squint to see Serena clearly. 'A power... Stronger than the Dragon Flame? Metalia mentioned that too...' she thought. Through the bright light, Bloom could see a strange mark on Serena's forehead. A crescent moon. "What the...?!"

When the light finally faded, everyone had to take a moment to adjust their eyes. Serena was unconscious on the floor.

"What was that?" Sky asked with bizarre confusion. "Wish I knew!" said Aisha.

"Let's take her to the infirmary at Alfea." Musa suggested, pointing to Serena. "Good idea."

Darien carried her to the ship with the Winx following close behind him, keeping a close eye on the blonde.

...

Rei, Ami, Lita, and Mina were all sitting down with Rini, Diana, and Artemis when something strange started happening.

"Hmm..." Diana seemed confused. "Is something wrong, Diana?" Rini asked her feline friend.

"I just, had this weird feeling..." The gray cat replied.

"Diana! Your starting to disappear!" Artemis exclaimed. "What?!" The girls shrieked.

"Eeek! What's going on?!" the kitten mewled.

"Why is Diana disappearing?" Rini asked with a scared voice.

"Do you think... Something happened to Luna?!" Ami said with shock and realization.

"What! No! Luna can't be hurt!" Artemis protested in disbelief.

"It may be true..." said Lita.

"Mama-chama..." Diana's voice was quiet.

"If something happened to Luna... What about the Princess and Prince!" Mina shrieked.

"Well, nothing has happened to Rini yet, so they must be okay" Ami reassured her. Rini sighed in relief at that.

"Maybe we should call Trista?" Lita suggested.

"She's on vacation with Amara, Michelle and Hotaru" Rei countered.

"Yeah, but if there are changes in the timeline, she'll stop what she's doing... Hopefully."

"I'll call her on the communicater" Rei said.

"Rei? What's wrong?" Trista's voice over the communicater asked. "Have you felt anything strange in the timeline?"

"Well, I did feel something change a little"

"A LITTLE?! DIANA IS DISAPPEARING!" Rini exclaimed, twisting Rei's wrist to show Trista the ghost-like Diana.

"Something must have happened to Luna" Trista said with concern.

"Trista, what do we do?" Rini asked pleadingly.

"Where's Serena?"

"She's at Alfea, Luna went with her there to keep her safe" Rei explained.

"Alfea.. That's a college in the Magic Dimension, correct?" The girls nodded. "Darien went to a college nearby." Lita informed her.

"Let me go to the Time Gate, and I'll see what happened." Trista said. "Hai" she hung up the call.

After a few minutes of waiting, a portal suddenly opened with Trista-- who was in Senshi form-- running out. "Girls! Queen Metalia took Luna!" She exclaimed.

"WHAT?! But Metalia is sealed away!" Mina argued.

"She must have broken that seal... Luna isn't dead yet, if that's what your worried about, but this wasn't supposed to happen. That's why Diana is dis--" Pluto was silent for a moment. "Has disappeared..." Everyone quickly turned to where they had last seen Diana. The feline was replaced by shimmering sparkles.

"D-Diana..." Rini sobbed.

"Small Lady, this is no time to cry. You have an important mission." Sailor Pluto told her.

"Important... Mission?"

...

Bloom took a seat and tried to think. 'The only power stronger than the Dragon Flame are the Water Stars, which should be in the Golden Kingdom again... But also, Sailor Moons Legendary Silver Crystal..!' she thought in realization.

Seeing the shocked look on her face, Stella sat next to Bloom. "Something wrong?" The other Winx came over thinking that there was something wrong as well.

"Uh, girls, do you think... Serena could, possibly be... Sailor Moon?"

Silence.

"What?! There's no way it could be possible!" Musa argued

"Well... Now that I think about it... Sailor Moon did first appear shortly after she arrived... And they have similar magic essence, and Serena is nowhere to be found when Sailor Moon is around or when one of us is at Silver Millennium with Princess Serenity..." Techna said in her 'its only logical' voice.

"That's true! That would mean she kept this secret from us this entire time!" Aisha added.

"Wait wait wait, hold on!" Stella exclaimed, grabbing the boy's attention for a moment, before they turned away again. "What is it?"

"While I was in Silver Millennium, Serena and Serenity were there! So she can't be Sailor Moon!" Stella said.

"But there's so much evidence that points to her!" Techna countered. There was a small lull in the conversation before Flora spoke.

"Well, it could be like in Gravity Falls... All the evidence pointed to McGucket being the author but it wasn't him." (I really hope I didn't spoil anything!!!!)

"Your right... But, I could've sworn I saw a crescent moon on her head!" said Bloom. The other girl's eyes widened and they gasped loudly. "A crescent moon?!"

"Wouldn't that make her part of the Silver Millennium family?" Aisha asked. "It could've been your imagination" Techna said.

"Maybe, well, we're here, let's get to that infirmary." Bloom was pretty thankful for the ship finally landing at Alfea. She started walking into the forest to be by herself for a while when she felt a slight tug on her hair.

"Bloom, don't you wanna see how Serena is?" Flora asked. Her emerald green eyes were clouded with slight confusion.

"I just need to be by myself for a moment to clear my head." Bloom reassured her. "Oh okay, be back soon, kay?"

"Okay"

Flora walked into the pink school as Bloom walked into the greenery of the forest.

"Things have always been so complicated for me and the Winx... Everything seemed to get more intense when Serena arrived." Bloom didn't realize that her feet dragged her to Lake Roccaluce (Idk how you spell it o_o). Even though Daphne wasn't here anymore, the place had a calming aura.

"She's a special girl, that's for sure... But what makes her so special?" Bloom looked into the sparkling water. "Protecting her is my mission, but lately, I not only can't let her get hurt, I can't stand seeing her get hurt."

"Its as wonderful to see her happy as it is horrible when she's sad..." she frowned at the memory of Serena wailing and crying.

"How and when did Serena become so important to me?" The fire fairy could see Serena quickly replace her reflection before going back to her own.

"Is it because I see myself in her?" she asked herself. It was true the two were similar. They were both powerful, kind, protective, and strangely enough, both of their boyfriends have been brainwashed. Is that a sign or what?

Bloom watched as the sun began to hide behind the horizon. "Serena became one of my best friends without me even realizing it." she smiled. That wasn't too bad. She looked up at the faint stars and moon in the darkening sky.

(About an hour later)

"I should head back to Alfea..." Bloom stood up and stretched out her arms. The stars were clear and bright in the night sky. Leaves crunched a little under her feet as she walked. She felt that something was wrong, and beyond her help alone.

"I hope she's doing okay..." Bloom whispered.

...

Serena stayed huddled up in a ball on her bed. The Winx were in the other room talking (most likely about her) and Darien was trying to comfort her.

"Luna was my partner... Why did Metalia have to take her?" she cried in a hushed voice.

"Because she knows how much she means to you, but you know we'll get her back" Darien said.

"I know, but I want her here right now! I don't want to go to Queen Metalia HQ, it'll put everyone in danger..."

"The Winx and Specialists are strong, they would be able to help out without dying!"

"Thanks for making me think about Metalia killing people" Serena said sarcastically, thinking about Luna being killed. More tears streamed down her face. "I wish the scouts were here" she sobbed.

Stella had her ear pressed up to the door, trying to hear every bit of the conversation. The others were right behind her.

"What's going on?" Musa asked. "I can't hear" Stella whispered. "Its too quiet!"

"Now isn't the time to spy, we should be coming up with ways to make Serena feel better!" Techna protested. The boys nodded in agreement.

"Oh a little spying won't hur-- AAAAHHHHH!!!" Stella fell to the ground when Darien opened the door that was supporting her. "OUUUCCCHHH!!!" she whined.

"I knew I heard voices" Darien muttered, half to himself. Serena walked out behind him. Her eyes were puffy from tears and her hair was knotted even though she was only grieving for an hour. "Hey girls, I'm just gonna get some water" Serena walked past them and waves of sadness hit everyone.

"I can't stand this" Aisha said with a frown. "None of us can, her emotions can effect anyone around her" Darien told them.

Everyone turned around at the sound of the doorknob turning. Bloom walked in and greeted everyone. "Hey guys, how's Serena doing?" They all pointed to the blonde girl in the kitchen.

"Woah..." Bloom decided to walk over to Serena. However she didn't realize that would be a mistake.

'Metalia took Luna and almost made me give away my secret! The Winx almost found out! They would be so mad...' Serena's eyes teared up a little. She jumped in surprise when Bloom put her hand on her shoulder. Her water glass shattered on the floor.

"Ah! Serena yo--" Bloom was cut of by the blonde in question's sudden breakdown.

"I'm so sorry!" She cried. The Winx, Specialists and Darien rushed into the kitchen wondering what happened.

"I'm so so sorry!" Serena burst into tears again. Bloom was freaking out. "Wait! Don't cry! I-I wasn't going to snap at you!"

"What even happened?" Flora asked. "I think she broke a glass" Stella said, noticing the shattered glass pieces on the floor.

"Please forgive me!" Serena begged. She fell onto her knees and many glass pieces cut into her skin.

​"There's nothing to forgive! I scared you, its okay, Serena!" Bloom tried explaining that it was no big deal.

"I'm so sorry all of you, I know I should've told you..." Mainly everyone's eyes widened in curiosity.

"Okay! That's enough!" Darien dragged Serena back into her room. "Hey, wait a minute! Whats she talking about?" Techna asked

"Its nothing, we should give her some space for now" Darien replied quickly.

"What's going on?" Brandon asked.

"I said it's nothing."

Everyone was skeptical about it. "Really?" "Yes!"

"We know your ly--" Aisha was cut off by the knocking at the door.

"I'll get it!" Flora offered, and rushed to answer the door.

"As I was saying, your lying!" Aisha accused Darien.

"You have no proof" he said.

"Its obvious you're lying, just tell us what Serena was talking about!" Techna snapped.

"What are you two keeping from us?" Sky asked.

"Noth--" Darien was interrupted by Flora walking in with a familiar pink haired girl.

"Hi Papa!" Rini said with a big grin.

"R-Rini?!"

"PAPA?! YOU HAVE A CHILD!?!?"Everyone exclaimed.

"Well, you see, I'm from the future, so Mama technically hasn't given birth to me yet, but I call them Mama and Papa." Rini explained.

"Wh-who is your mom exactly?" Musa asked, although she had a pretty good guess of who it was.

"Serena, now where is she? I have to make her feel better!" Rini tried to look official and mature, but she looked pretty adorable trying to act older.

The Winx and Specialists all pointed to Serena and Stella's room. "In there"

"Thanks!" Rini skipped into the room.

"Talk." Techna said to Darien.

"About what?"

"Well as curious as I am about that secret... HOW THE HECK DID THAT KID TIME TRAVEL!?"

"Well, she got this key, and she can travel through time with it. She went back to the future after Chaos was defeated but I guess she came back to visit." Darien explained. Everyone else blinked.

"That sounds kinda complicated."

"Because it is"

In the other room, Serena was staring wide eyed at her daughter. "Rini?! What are you doing here?!" She asked.

"I came to make you feel better, and to help you rescue Luna." Rini replied. Serena gave a small smile.

"How did you know, anyways?"

"Diana started disappearing, and Trista said that there were changes in the timeline. She said it was my mission to come here and help!" Rini, once again, tried to look official and mature.

"Oh..." Serena's small smile became a frown again. "Don't be sad! We always rescue our friends! And this time is no different!" The little girl gave her mom a hug.

"Thanks Rini" Serena hugged her back. "You really do lift my spirits."

"Thats because I'm sooo irresistible!"

"That doesn't make much sense... But OK" Serena laughed a little.

"Hey! You mean Meatball Head!" Rini teased

"Stop. Calling. Me. THAT!!!" Serena exclaimed.

Rini laughed. "So what's it like here?" she asked.

"Its cool, but schools a bore."

"We get to color a lot at my school"

"Thats because your a second grader, Rini" Serena deadpanned. The little child laughed. "its not funny."

Stella walked into the room with a confused face. "So... Let me get this straight. Rini is you and Dariens daughter in the future?"

"Yeah"

"Weird."

"Thanks, is that all?" Serena asked.

"No, we wanted you to come out here with us. We're all worried about you." Stella said.

"Yeah! Let's go!" Rini tugged on her mom's arm. "Okay okay I'm coming"

"Yay!" Stella and Rini cheered.

​Serena sat next to Darien, and Rini was on her lap. "I know it hasn't been long since, but are you feeling any better?" Flora asked.

"Yeah, Rini definitely helped a lot." Serena replied. "Y'know who would help you even more?" Bloom asked.

"Who?"

"Aurora and the rest of the pixies!" Bloom said.

"Good idea! We should head over the pixie village before the school's barrier activates!" Aisha agreed.

"We need to get to Red Fountain. We'll walk you to Pixie Village if you want" Brandon offered

"Such gentleman!" Stella squealed. "But we'll be okay, thanks anyways!"

A few minutes later, the Winx and Serena were walking through the dark forest. Rini stayed at Alfea to snoop around.

"This really wasn't a good idea!" Serena complained after getting hit with a branch for the third time.

"You just have bad luck!" Musa laughed. "Shut it!" Serena still wasn't in a good mood, so much had happened that day, why should she be in a happy-go-lucky mood? She also had a bad feeling in her gut. Who doesn't when your walking in a dark forest at night? Slender man could pop up anytime!

The cause of her had feeling, however, was hiding in the shadows, preparing to attack. Serena could feel some sort of evil energy around her. "Who's there?" She turned to a tree giving off a bad vibe.

"What's wrong Serena?" Bloom asked.

Serena gathered some energy into a white orb and was just about to let it go when:

"Dark Strike!" Serena and the Winx were knocked back a few feet by an attack. A familiar green-haired witch stepped out of the shadows.

"Darcy! I thought you ran away!" Techna growled.

"I did, but I'm here to get my revenge on you all!" Darcy said. "If you didn't foil my plans on Solaria, Queen Metalia would be praising me right now!"

"Well we weren't going to let you repeat what happened to my kingdom!" Serena exclaimed. "Prismix Power! Make-Up!"

"Her kingdom?" The Winx asked in confusion, before transforming.

"Blue Crystalix Power!"

"Red Crystalix Power!"

"Purple Crystalix Power!"

"Green Crystalix Power!"

"Yellow Crystalix Power!"

"Sailorix Power!"

"MAKE-UP!"

"Burning... Mandala!" Serena exclaimed, shooting balls of fire at Darcy. The witch deflected it easily.

"Melody Sonic Boom!" Darcy put a sound proof barrier around herself.

"Lynphea Vine Trap!" Flora shouted, trying to trap Darcy. However, Darcy turned the vines to stone before they reached her.

"Domino Dragon Breath!" Bloom yelled, but Darcy dodged the attack. "When on Earth did she become so skillful?"

"When did you all become such pathetic weaklings?" Darcy asked sarcastically.

"Grrr... Domino Radiant Flame!!!" Bloom exclaimed in anger. That was the first successful attack.

"Go Bloom!!!" Techna shouted. "Purple Crystal Electrify!" Darcy was electrocuted and angry.

"That's enough! I can kill all of you right now!" The witch screamed. A dark purple aura surrounded her, and her eyes started glowing. (If anime/manga has taught us anything, its that if that happens, you run far, far away)

"This won't be good..." Stella said.

"Dark Chaos!!!" Darcy exclaimed, aiming the attack at everyone.

"Dragon Flame! Give me your full power!!!" Bloom yelled, and a fire dragon surrounded her.

"We should step back a few yards..." Flora said. "Yeah..." Musa agreed

"Wow..!" Serena stared at the Dragon Flame in awe. "I've never seen her so powerful!"

The fire dragon collided with the dark magic Darcy created. Both sides were putting up a tough fight. However, Darcy had a trick up her sleeve.

"Mirror Attack!"

Both the fire dragon and the dark magic reflected onto Bloom. The blast was very very powerful.

"BLOOM!!!" The Winx and Serena shrieked. The fairy's angel-like wings dissolved into a flurry of orange feathers and she was falling fast.

"I got 'cha!" Serena exclaimed, and flew up to catch her. Although, due to Blooms weight and Serena's horrible flight skills, the landing wasn't much better than it would've been.

"Bloom! Bloom are you okay?!" Serena screamed. The most horrifying thing was that yellow orbs of light were floating up from her body.

"What's that?!" Aisha pointed to a gem flying in the air. Serena gasped. It was a star seed.

"The attack... Must've been so powerful that... Her star seed was ripped out of her..." she sobbed.

"What?!"

Darcy was laughing. "Serves her right! Getting in my way all of these years!" she took the floating gem in her hand, and crushed it, making everyone scream.

"No! Your a freaking monster!" Stella exclaimed with tears in her eyes. "Why, thank you"

"Bloom... Bloom, please talk, something!" Serena pleaded. Bloom slowly opened her eyes and suddenly understood everything. She looked up at Serena's scared and sad face. "I can't lose anyone else!" the blonde cried.

"How could I not have noticed before?" Bloom whispered. "W-what?"

"I had my theory for a while that you were..." Bloom trailed off mid sentence but didn't notice. "Because of your power. But, your appearance..!"

"W-what are you talking about?"

"You look exactly like Sailor Moon, you are Sailor Moon!​" Bloom said. Serena stayed silent for a moment before answering.

"I am."

The Winx and Darcy's eyes widened in shock. "W-what?!"

"I am Sailor Moon! And Princess Serenity!" Serena said loudly. "Now, before its too late, Orange Rainbow Crystal! Come to me now!" After a moment, an orange gleam shined in the sky, before revealing itself to be an orange crystal and resting in Serena's hand.

"Bloom, your a brave, kind, and strong person... You've definitely earned Crystalix." she said, before letting the orange gem lower itself into the redhead's heart.

Serena carefully picked Bloom up and handed her to Stella for a moment.
"Okay,"

"Moon Eternal Power! Make-Up!"

To be continued...
