-Chapter 1-

"Watch out, Sailor Moon!" Sailor Venus's voice called out.

"Huh?" Sailor Moon turned to see a huge blast of light envelope her.

"SAILOR MOON!!!" the Sailor Scouts said in unison. As they searched the landscape, they couldn't find her. It was then they realized there were only two options: either the blast of light vaporized her, or it had transported her somewhere.

The Negaverse agent, Jedite, dissipated, leaving with: "Yes… She'll be perfect…"

"What are we going to do?"

"We can't just abandon her…"

"But we don't even know where she is!"

"We can try to look."

"But where will we start looking? We were left with not even a trace of a clue as to where she might be," the Sailor Scouts argued.

Meanwhile, the light around Sailor Moon slowly shrunk, eventually becoming a clear blue, oval-shaped capsule with what looked like roots around it. The capsule was filled with a liquid of some sort. She also found she was unable to move of her own will. Her mouth was open. Soon she felt some incredibly small object float into her mouth. It was soft and round. She couldn't see it because her eyes were closed.

"Girls! Please! Stop fighting! I saw what happened and I don't think she's been harmed. At least not yet. I think she's been transported somewhere," came Tuxedo Mask's voice.

"Do you know where?" Sailor Jupiter asked.

"No," answered Tuxedo Mask, "But I think I know who her captor is."

"Who is it?!" Sailor Mercury said in great anticipation.

"Do you girls remember Jedite? You put him in an eternal sleep. It was a spell put on him from Queen Beryl. When you destroyed her, you must have broken the spell cast upon him."

"You're saying Jedite's back and he's Sailor Moon's captor?" Sailor Mars asked.

"Exactly," said Tuxedo Mask.

Before another word could be said, a blast of light, just like the one that had hit Sailor Moon, appeared before them. It shrunk until it revealed Sailor Moon, who the collapsed.

"Serena!" Serena woke up and looked at Mina.

"Mina? Where am I?"

"You're at Rei's temple. We brought you here after you collapsed. Boy, you sure gave us a scare, Serena!"

Serena sat up and said, "Oh, sorry. Where are the others?"

"You mean Lita, Rei, Amy and Darien? Darien had to go somewhere and told me to take care of you, Rei's helping her Grandpa with chores around the temple, Amy wants to get even further ahead on her studying, and Lita is baking you goodies."

At the sound of 'goodies', Serena perked up and said, "Oh, well, she really didn't have to, but, if she insists…"

"Oh, and, it's probably not the best time to tell you this, but, you really look like a mess and your mom called earlier and was worried about you. But don't worry, I told her you were studying."

"Thanks a lot, Mina…" Serena said in a 'this just isn't my day' kind of tone.

"The others should be here any minute to help you study if you've woken up."

"I'll freshen up before Mom calls again," Serena said.

"Okay! You do that! I'm just going to sit here! Doing nothing…" Mina said.
