Hey there! This is my first fanfic, and I am pretty psyched. So, on with what I do and do not own. To quote one of my friends, 'do you really think that if I owned the characters I would be posting my pathetic little blurbs on a website?'. Couldn't have said it better myself.
o and I'd like to pre apologize for the fact that I know practically NOTHING about gundam wing so some parts might be screwed up. But I love Sailor moon. ;-). So sit back relax, and enjoy the show!
Chapter 1
The mission
Mizuno Ami sat quietly in the corner of a tiny coffee shop, absorbed in a book that she had propped up against her bag. Her blue eyes twinkled with joy as she moved farther and farther into the story. She paid no attention to the waitress, who came to refill her coffee cup, but brushed her matching blue hair back from her face and read on. The door opened, and a flurry of snow fell across the mat. Ami looked up. A beautiful slender girl with long raven black hair streaked with violet stood in the doorway, silhouetted by the half-covered sun.
"Rei-chan!" Ami called, tearing herself away from her beloved book to greet her friend. Rei walked slowly over to the table Ami had claimed. Her winter coat was sprinkled with snow, and it fell lightly from the fake fur as Rei removed it and sat down. She took a long drink from Ami's coffee cup. Her deep violet eyes were layered with worry. "Rei-chan, what's the matter?" Rei looked up, and Ami saw the sadness etched into every line of her face.
"It's Hotaru." Rei said quietly, with a strained look of one who is fighting back tears.
"Is she sick?" Ami said, suddenly forgetting all about the captivating story that she had clutched in her hand.
"No. She's...missing." Rei said. Ami dropped the book.
"She's missing!?" Ami cried. She jumped up and swung her book bag over her shoulder.
"Ami-chan! Where are you going?" Rei called after her, wiping her eyes.
"I'm going to see Setsuna!"
*Flashback*
Sunlight shone through the window, and cascaded across a bed where two figures lay. A girl with wavy aqua hair and matching eyes turned sleepily. The woman next to her had short sandy hair and very feminine features. The companions were still asleep and peaceful. But in the next room, a girl with shoulder length black hair squirmed and whimpered. Her dreams were being intruded. A man with dark shaggy hair was standing before her figure, which was cowering on the ground. His face seemed to perfect, and his eyes were black and cold. Except for the pupils, which burned with fire.
Come into the arms of evil....... follow me into the shadow of darkness....... COME WITH ME!
Hotaru jerked awake. She could feel cold sweat on her face. Breathing heavily, she slid further under her covers. Her dream felt so real. The words hadn't been spoken, but slid across her mind. She began to tremble. Normally dreams like these wouldn't bother people as much, but Hotaru was a sailor scout, and dreams usually meant bad omens. She flung back the covers and ran silently past her parent's room. She stopped halfway down another hallway, panting. Flinging the door open, she saw Meioh Setuna sitting on a window bed, staring out at the early morning sky, with an all-knowing look in her eyes. She turned when she heard the door open. Hotaru ran as quickly as she could towards Setsuna, flinging her arms around her. Setsuna warmly hugged back.
"What is troubling you Hotaru-chan?" Setsuna asked when Hotaru had finally let go. Hotaru burst into the story of her dream. Setsuna's eyes widened ever so slightly. "Oh dear." she whispered when Hotaru had finished. "I believe we have another enemy on our hands. Hotaru, you need to be careful because your dream suggests that the enemy will take you away from." But she was cut of by a loud ripping sound. A purple portal appeared behind Hotaru. She screamed. Setsuna jumped up. Pure terror was resonating through her. She was the only one who could open the portal. 'That's what Serenity told me.' She thought franticly. She tried with all of her strength to close the portal, but found her energy gone. Almost as if....
"Setsuna!!!!!!" Hotaru screamed. The force had finally gotten a hold of her and was dragging her backwards into the portal. In a flash, Hotaru was gone. Setsuna stared at the place that the girl had just been. Reality began to set in all too quickly, and Setsuna crumpled, sobbing into her hands. It had been her. Her power had been used. If only she could have seen it sooner...........
*End Flashback*
Ami ran quickly up the steps of the steps of the Outers' mansion, nimbly avoiding the ice patches. She knocked. Rei skidded to a halt beside her, panting.
"For someone who always reads, you run damn fast." Rei wheezed, clutching a stitch in her side. Ami ignored her. The door slowly opened, and Michiru's head peaked through the door. Her eyes were red and swollen, and a lone tear was still running down her cheek.
"Rei-chan! Ami-chan! I didn't expect you!" Michiru said with as much enthusiasm as she could muster. She wiped the tear away. "What brings you here?"
"We're here to see Setsuna." Ami answered firmly. Michiru blinked. She hadn't expected that.
"Oh. Ok." Michiru answered, recomposing herself. She opened the door fully and let them in before going off to find Setsuna. Rei sat down on the couch, her long hair falling gracefully over the cushins. Ami kept standing, pacing up and down, waiting for Michiru. It was a rather large mansion, therefore, it could take quite a long time to find someone.
"Ami!" Rei grabbed Aim's arm and pulled her down, "Would you stop pacing? You're giving me a headache!" Ami hesitated but sat down.
15 minutes later, Michiru returned and sat down in an over stuffed chair. Setsuna remained standing. Ami opened her mouth to talk, but Setsuna held up a hand to silence her.
"I already know." She said simply. Haruka walked in and sat down on the couch next to Rei and Ami. Her eyes were red with crying also. Setsuna seemed to be the only one that was not showing signs of being depressed. "I'm sorry, Ami-chan. I already told Haruka. There's nothing I can do." She launched into an explanation of what had happened that morning. "Who knows how they could control my powers this time?" she concluded.
"But you have to try Setsuna-chan!" Ami protested. "Hotaru is important to us!" Her eyes sparkled with tears. Setsuna sighed.
"There is a way. But it would be difficult, and it would require the use of all the Senshi." Michiru jerked up, suddenly listening intently. Setsuna explained. Ami was suprised to hear how difficult it would be. When Setsuna finished, Ami hesitated. Was she ready for this? She exchanged glances with Rei, looked at Michiru's hopeful face, Haruka's pleading look, and Setsuna's look of skepticism. She looked Setsuna straight it in the eye, and resolutely nodded.

Hotaru blinked. Her eyes had trouble adjusting to the darkness. For a moment she prayed she was still in Setsuna's room, but then realized she was in a cave. Or at least a form of one. There was a door at one end of the room, with a small window that was showing light. She ran up to it a peeked out. A towering woman stood before a man, cowering at her feet. It was the man from Hotaru's dream. She began to back into the shadows when she heard something that caught her attention.
"YOU FOOL!" the woman was screeching. "YOU BROUGHT ME THE WRONG SAILOR SENSHI!"
"Forgive me, O Eternal One! I have failed! But this Senshi seems to be useful in some ways..." The man said, in a feeble attempt to defend himself.
"DO NOT HIDE YOUR MISTAKES, INFERNO! YOU WILL BRING METHE PRINCESS! I WILL RULE HER!" The man nodded quickly. "Although...." The woman's voice fell back down to normal; "She could be used as bait. They other Sailor Senshi must come back to get her. Very good, Inferno, you've thought ahead." The woman smiled, giving the impression that she had fangs. "You have not failed....."
