Outside of the arcade, the sailor guardians all met. Rei, Ami, Makoto, Minako, Usagi, and Mamoru.
"Did you guys hear about that new haunted house that opened up?" Tsukino ask, soundly gleeful.
"The one down the street?" Ami asks.
"Yeah, I heard that it's actually scary than other ones." Minako adds.
"That kinda worries me a little." Rei pauses, "It just doesn't look safe."
"It seems to be a very popular place." Makoto says.
"I agree with Rei," Mamoru pauses, glancing down at the black colored building, "It has a strange vibe."
"Oh c'mon guys. How scary could it possibly be?" Usagi says
She turns around to face a man dressed up as the grim reaper. Usagi let out a scream as she jumped into Mamoru's arms. The guy took off his mask.
"I really got you this time, Usagi." He laughs, pushing up his glasses.
"Umino!" Yells Usagi, "That wasn't funny."
"Hey, sorry for scaring you." He says, "I have to head to work now."
Umino left them alone. Mamoru helped put Usagi back on her feet. She was still shaking a little, but not as much after knowing who was behind that mask.
"You should've seen your face, Usagi." Laughs Rei.
"Stop it, Rei." Usagi huffs.
"Anyway, it's up to us to figure out what has been going on to the people who go there and have never been seen again." Mamoru replies.
"You aren't being serious." Ami starts.
"We have to do it, its our job to save these people." Usagi announces.
"I still don't trust that building." Rei pauses, "But it's for the sake these people."
"Alright, we should hurry and transform before we head inside." Suggests Makoto.
"Good idea." Minako replies, "Venus Star Power, Make-Up!"
"Mercury Star Power, Make-Up!" Ami yells.
"Jupiter Star Power, Make-Up!" Makoto adds after Ami.
"Mars Star Power, Make-Up!" Rei cries out.
"Moon Crystal Power, Make-Up!" Usagi follows.
Mamoru had waited for the girls to transform before they headed towards the building. Usagi looked up at the sign.
"House of the Living Horror?" She read it out loud, noticing the sign on the door, "Enter at your own risk? . . . Help us?"
"That doesn't sound good." Ami says.
"What kind of haunted house has a name like this?" Makoto asks.
"Apparently this one." Rei replies.
"Anyway, what are we gonna do?" Minako asks.
"I suppose we head in?" Usagi answers.
"Are you crazy?!" Ami asks, "We shouldn't go in."
"'There are innocent people inside there, Mercury," Minako pauses, "we have to make sure they come out safe."
"Venus' right, we can't let our fear take first before saving lives of people." Makoto says.
"Okay . . ." Ami says unsuringly.
"Well lets head inside." Mamoru stops, "It's starting to get dark."
Usagi nodded her head as she heads to the brown wooden door and opened it. The guardians walked into the dark building. The walls seemed to be growing and the halls seemed endless. The door quietly shut behind them. Minako looked around, the pictures were changing.
"Odd, normally there's someone here to take you around." She says.
"Maybe its a walk-yourself through." Makoto replies, "I have seen a few of those."
"I don't think this is when people get kidnapped." Rei says, glancing at the lights.
Mamoru went back to the doors and tried to push it to open.
"The doors . . ." He grunted, "They won't . . . Open."
"What?!" Ami yells.
"What are we gonna do?" Rei asked before her mind changed to another subject, "Where did Usagi go?"
"She came in with us, didn't she?" Minako asks.
"She was right behind Mamoru." Makoto says.
"We have to go searching for her." Ami adds.
"We won't have to look far," Mamoru pauses, glancing at the map, "she's in the candy portion here."
"Good eye, Mamoru." Rei nods.
"C'mon, she's probably scared out of her mind." Makoto suggests.
….
Except that's not what Usagi was experiencing. She looked at the pink and green walls, the floor was made out of chocolate, the trees made out of peppermint sticks, and a small pool covered in white milk. Usagi thought that this room was a dream come true.
"I don't know what Ami's problem is," She pauses, giggling, "this place isn't that scary."
She took a deep breath in, the air smelt like mint mixed with dark melting chocolate; and coffee beans.
"I could live in this area forever."
Soon the others came running into the room, they witnessed Usagi dancing around the room.
"This is strange." Rei pauses, glancing at the pool of milk slowly turning red, "Really strange."
Mamoru watched the walls as they slowly turned moldy black color with cobwebs covering the corners.
"This room is just an illusionary image." He says.
"Oh hi guys!" Usagi finally notices them and stopped dancing, "Isn't this room awesome?"
"Usako, this room is just an illusionary effect to play with our minds." Mamoru tells her.
"What do you mean, Mamo?" She asks.
Usagi looked at the changed room. The walls covered in cobwebs and moldy black paint, the pool turned into blood, and the trees into burnt wood. Soon something caught the ears of the guardians; it sounded like monks chanting. Usagi jumped after hearing the sound.
"What was that?" She asks.
"What's happening?" Makoto asks.
"It doesn't sound good." Ami replies.
"What is it trying to tell us?" Mamoru asks.
"They are chanting something." Rei pauses, "Chanting for a cleansing."
"You sure?" Usagi asks, "Are you sure they aren't chanting for us to leave?"
"We can't leave." Mamoru began, "The door seems to be locked."
"What?!" Usagi yelled.
"Is it possible that we could be stuck here for the night?" Ami asks.
"And hopefully not longer?" Minako adds.
"It's a possibility." Makoto answers.
"Please don't let it be more than one night." Usagi cries.
"We need to get to the bottom of this," Mamoru pauses, "we need try stay together . . ."
The ground began shaking underneath all of them. Rei and Usagi fell through the gaping hole in the floor, Mamoru and Makoto were sucked through the hole in the wall, and Minako and Ami were pushed to the beginning of the haunted house.
