Rei rolled her eyes as she folded another temple robe. She turned to look at Makoto, Ami and Minako.

"That Usagi. You can't rely on her to do anything right."

Ami frowned. "I know she's late a lot, Rei, but it's not Usagi to not show up at all."

Makoto nodded. "Not like her at all. You think she's in trouble?"

The 4 girls all looked at each other. "Nah." they said in unison.

But Rei's voice sounded a little unsure as she remembers the fire reading she got the morning before. She couldn't help wondering if Usagi was really okay. But she reassured herself that Usagi was probably off somewhere with Mamoru. She went back to folding the robes.

**********************************************************************

Mamoru checked his watch. 1:30. Right on time. He smiled and took a red rose out of his pocket. Okay, it wasn't exactly original but he knew Usagi loved roses. Especially red ones. He walked quickly up the stone steps to the temple. Rei and the girls were all folding robes and making charms. He walked up to them.

"Hey girls, where's Usagi?"

Rei looked at him, surprised. "She didn't show up. I assumed she was with you."

Mamoru shook his head "she said to pick her up from here."

Rei shrugged. "Maybe she's sick or something. But I wouldn't go round there if I were you. You know what her dads like."

Mamoru nodded. "Well if you see her tell her I'll be at home."

"Ok I will" Rei said.

Mamoru turned around, starting to walk towards his home. Something inside of him telling him that Usagi was in trouble. But he shook his head. He must be imagining things.

********************************************************************

Usagi's eyes flickered and slowly opened. She was awake. She tried to remember what had happened, but the last thing she remembered happening was her fainting. She opened her eyes slowly. She was chained to a wall. Her face was bleeding where somebody had held a hand over her face with sharp claws and could barely move she was so weak. Her hair fell limply across her face and she noticed one of her bows was missing. She saw a man standing by a counter. All she could see was his hair and his clothes. He had dark brown hair and a long black cloak. A blue scaly youma with a large knobbly head stood beside him.

Usagi tried to see what they were doing. The blue youma was holding something in its clawed hands. It was looking carefully at it. Usagi only just held back a gasp when she saw what it was. It was her transformation brooch!!!! The silver crystal was inside it!!!!! Trying not to panic, Usagi looked at the chains. They were well locked and she had little chance of getting out. The man spoke in a deep, harsh voice to the youma

"Is the silver crystal in it?"

The blue youma turned to him.

"I think so, my lord. But we haven't been able to open it yet."

The man took the brooch in his hands.

"Yes. Its in there. I feel it's power. We have the imperium silver
crystal and soon we will have the gold crystal as well."

Usagi almost gasped again. The gold crystal was Mamoru's crystal.((info about the gold crystal is at the bottom of the page)) That meant he was in trouble. Trying not to panic, Usagi thought hard.
But she didn't know what she could do. The man turned his attention to her. His face was tight and cruel, he had a twisted, mocking smile and his eyes were cold and piercing. Usagi didn't recognise him, but she could tell that she was in trouble. The man grinned at the worried expression on her face.

"Awake, Princess?"

**********************************************************************

Mamoru lay on his sofa, thinking. A strange feeling he couldn't explain was hanging inside him. He felt like he had to save Usagi, but she was okay. Wasn't she? A jolt of fear ran through him. Then he shook himself. Usagi was fine. She must be home sick or something. He would see her soon. Still, he missed her. He missed her smile, her laugh, her pretty face and the look in her eyes when they were together. He sighed and rolled onto his side. Then he heard the doorbell ring. Sighing heavily, he slowly hauled himself off the sofa and over to the door. He opened it slowly. Suddenly, a man grabbed his shirt and shouted

"Where's my daughter?"

Mamoru looked up at the man. It was Usagi's father, Kenji. Mamoru raised an eyebrow and Kenji let go of him, he wasn't as tough as he liked to believe. Mamoru looked puzzled.

"I don't know where she is I thought she was at home."

"Well she isn't. She didn't come home last night."

Panic shot through Mamoru like lighting. His Usako is trouble? She hadn't made it home? What had happened? Questions shot through his head like lightning.

"Are you sure she's not at a friend's house?"

Kenji nodded slowly, looking desperately worried.

"We've asked all of her friends. Nobody knows where she is."

Mamoru grabbed a coat and slid it on.

"Well we've got to go and look for her!"

Kenji nodded but Mamoru pushed past him and ran towards Rei's temple.

*************************************************************************

Rei flicked a strand of her long black hair away from her face. She looked up at the sky. It was sooo hot today. The others were still there, helping. She had a bad feeling about Usagi, but she didn't know if she should tell the others or not. Or was it just that she didn't want to sound like she was
worried about Usagi? Rei sighed. No matter how much they fought, Usagi was somebody she really cared about. She turned to the others to tell them when she heard footsteps running towards her.

She turned around to see Mamoru running towards them. He looked panicked. He stopped in front of her.

"Rei, Usagi's missing!"

Rei's hand flew to her mouth. She turned to Ami.

"Ami-chan can you look for Usagi on your computer?"

Ami nodded, picked up her computer and urgently began to type . After a few tense minutes, she looked up at the others. "She's nowhere in the city."

The others looked worriedly at each-other.

"What do we do?" asked Makoto.

"Ami-chan, is there any chance your computer got it wrong?"

Ami looked thoughtful. "It's possible."

"Well I'm going to look for her then" said Mamoru

Rei nodded. "Me too"

Everyone rushed off in different directions looking for Usagi.

************************************************************************

Usagi struggled against the chains holding her but they were locked tight.
The man chuckled to himself.

"Not going to work, your highness."

Usagi sighed and asked

"Who are you?"

"My name is Akkei. I lived on Earth in the time of the Silver Millenium. I saw how you moon people lived, in luxury. You lived more than twice as long as the people of Earth. And yet you did your job badly, you were supposed to watch over the Earth, you weren't supposed to interfere with us personally.
But I watched as you stole Beryl from prince Endymion and how he allowed himself to be turned to your side. And yet even when you should have died, you were brought back. Now Beryl is gone and its your fault, and the world will have to pay for what you did. Once I have the Imperium Silver Crystal
and the Golden Crystal, I can combine them and this planet and the moon will both crumble to ashes and both of you will die like you should have a long time ago. Your prince stole the woman I loved and you stole him from her."

He looked at Usagi, but instead of an expression of fear or anger as he expected, her face looked sad and sympathetic. He scowled at her and walked away, telling the youma to hurry up and open the brooch.

***************************************************************************

Mamoru hung up his coat and sat down on his bed. It was almost too much for him to bare, knowing Usagi was in trouble. But there was nothing he could do. He sighed deeply. he thought. Then he noticed a cold breeze. He turned to the window. It was open a crack. As he reached to close it, he noticed something holding it up. A look of shock and horror struck his face when he realised what it was. It was one of Usagi's hair bows. Underneath it was a folded up piece of paper. Slowly, his hands shaking, he opened the paper and read it. It read,

//I have the princess and the imperium silver crystal. If you want her back,
come to the park at midnight tonight. Come alone.//

Mamoru knew it was a trap, but he didn't care. He had to save her. He had to go.

Authors Notes:

The Gold Crystal:
in the SuperS manga, we learn that the equivalent of the Moon Kingdom on Earth was Elysion, also known as the Gold Kindgom. Endymion was the prince and heir to the thrown of Elysion. The Gold Kingdom's crystal was the Gold Crystal. Elios tells Usagi and Mamoru this in the manga:

"You protected this planet Earth. The Silver Millennium from without, and the Golden Kingdom from within. And now that mission is carried in the two crystals of your kingdoms. The Mystical Silver Crystal is the holy stone of the Princess of the Silver Millennium. The Golden Crystal is the holy stone of the Prince of the Golden Kingdom. They send out your power."

Basically, The Golden Crystal is Mamoru's crystal. Just to clear that up.

Beryl:
We know from the manga that Beryl was in love with Endymion, the part about Akkei I made up and Akkei is my character
