I hope you know the drill I still own not a thing.

Chapter two: Falling out of one trouble and into another

As it happened, they arrived almost together, each carrying what seemed necessary for the journey into foreign lands. Hotaru still in the body of an eight year old carried her iconic glaive in one hand and a backpack over one shoulder. She smiled at Chibi Usa and waved with her free hand. The glaive towered several feet above her head when she was using it for a walking stick. In height, she was equal to Chibi-Usa about three feet seven inches (she's hobbit sized) but is frailer then her pale haired friend. Her hair is dark as midnight with a purple sheen and her eyes are smoky lavender that seems too old for her apparently young age. Stood beside her was her one time jailer, enemy, and now of all things her friend Time a.k.a Setsuna.

"Are we all set?" Setsuna asked glancing from one face to the next." Now this is going to be tricky I don't know how time works in this new dimension we could be dropped into the past or the future there isn't any way of telling for sure." Usagi Nodded that she under stood as Hotaru spook up" what should we be prepared for" Setsuna took a deep breathe then utter one word that they hadn't heard since the fall of Chaos. "War. You should expect a war to be raging, no matter where we dropped in time. Be prepared to hit the ground fighting." Hotaru nodded and the hand that held the glaive tightened almost in perceptively. She would be ready with spells and glaive swings even before she 'hit the ground' if she could mange it. If all else failed then she would simply decimate the planet after shoving the others to safety. What they wanted be damned. Their safety came first their lives for hers. Usagi and Chibi Usa would never ever agree to that plan however but what they didn't know couldn't hurt them. Right?

Her waking had come as a surprise to Death as she had not felt anything to warrant her attention. It had been quite peaceful as of late in fact almost too peaceful. She was getting bored to tell you the truth and there seemed to be no end in sight. That and the other warriors would likely get complacent without action to stir them up every now and then. If you came to expect peace you stopped being on your guard and were hit harder when disaster did strike. The more Time told of the plan the better Death liked it. She knew this would be just the thing to stir them up and was happy to take part in any plan Usagi and ChibiUsa could dream up. Even if she were not keen on leaving, she'd die again before allowing them out of her sight. Some one had to protect them in that strange new world. Who better then death herself?

Hotaru watched as Setsuna outlined the plan to Usagi and ChibiUsa. They were going to join hands and use 'sailor Teleport' in a sense. Time and Death would guide and direct the flow of power all Usagi and ChibiUsa had to do was hold on. Time knew approximately where they were going but not where they would land or when they would land. Time/space travel was tricky at best and they were going to add another dimension to it literally. no one knew where or when they would appear in that world but if all went well they were shooting for a place on the western edge of a mountain range the encircled the largest continent. It had a nice inflow of constant magic and theirs should not be notice in theory. It appears to hold the title of the Last homely house and seems a good place to start.

Time was the only one who knew for sure why they were going but she hadn't said anything to Death. When she had asked, Setsuna said that they would see when they got there. She implied that they could help with some thing. That was enough to know for now and Death did not ask again. She had not liked the look that Time had given her when she had opened her mouth to ask more questions. Time looked about to scold her for being noisy so she shut up and left her question unasked or unanswered.

They looked like they were about ready to go ChibiUsa had settled down and Setsuna was double-checking things to do with the time stream. Time pulled death aside far out of the hearing of the other to and whispered last minute words of warning and advice. "As you know I can't leave the time gates unattended so I won't be traveling with you all the way. I will however pop in from time to time with up dates on thing here and bring things or people to help you. You remember how to contact me right if you're in danger that you can't handle." Death nodded solemnly and gripped her glaive tighter. "Just think of you and talk normally. Do you really think we'll get into that much trouble?" she smiled at the thought there was little she could not handle. "In most cases most cases you'd be right but there are two variables to that. One you are traveling with Trouble Magnets One and Two and two this place is unknown be on your guard at all time." Death giggled at the undignified name that Time had called their beloved queen and princess. It was so true. Then she grew serous again and mildly insulted by what Time had implied. "Do you really think I need to be told to be careful?" Time smiled back and answered calmly. "No, but it is a good reminder about just who your traveling with." They shared a laugh, which had the other two to looking at them as if they were crazy, not get the joke at all.

Death sheathed her glaive across and joined hands with ChibiUsa on her left hand and Usagi on her right. Time stood across from her with her Staff floating in front of her. She heard in her head 'My father Chronis… Ruler of space and time open the door we wish to see and let those I guide pass through… they have a Guardian with them who will take care of them.' She briefly wondered if Usagi and ChibiUsa heard but looking at there faces un change from when they started she knew that they had not. "Darkly hidden Door through time and space. Open before me, the daughter of time!" Death knew they had heard that and felt the requested door open slowly. In the next second "Sailor Teleport" rang from either side of her. She felt her self-moving through it at the speed of light and she felt Usagi slipping away from her, going on ahead. That was wrong they were not supposed to separate. She desperately held on tighter but it was no use Usagi was gone… lost in the void she could only hope that she would be all right. ChibiUsa was still there at least and she clung to death as though her life depended on it. It occurred to Hotaru that ChibiUsa's Life just might depend up on her now. Death curled up around ChibiUsa protecting her with her body. Death vowed there and then never to let her go not even if it would save her own life. The void had them now; all they had to do is wait for something to happen.
