Just after Sailor Pluto from Crystal Tokyo disappeared, the front door opened, and the person who came at that time was Setsuna, who had returned before Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru, from a meeting with Serena and the other girls.
She had just finished her studies, and was meditating on what to do now, and with the idea of some rest, she went to her room, never imagining that in, she will find the answer to her question.
She opened the door and entered, thinking a nap, when, turning over to her desk, she saw a note near the snow globe that Rini had given her the last time she came to visit.
"Hmm? What's this?" Setsuna thought and wondered, reading the dedication of the note, "to Setsuna, of Sailor Pluto from Crystal Tokyo"
Curious by a such a peculiar dedicatory (and wondering, why her future self would need her help), she opened it and began to read.
Setsuna
Due to certain circumstances, I am forced to ask for your help (and no, it's not a new threat, nor did I break any rules for you to receive this message.).
There is a person in the past (your present), we must save, and since I can not leave my post, to keep the door of time, that's why I ask for your help.
To understand more, please touch the snow globe, next to the note.
"The snow globe..." Setsuna mused to herself as she picked up the object in question...and was suddenly overwhelmed by a strange sensation...
And so...
Setsuna buried her face in her hands and sobbed softly. Such a horrible past...One that only she could prevent... She wiped the tears from her eyes and glared angrily. She knew what she had to do...
Two months later...
It was a normal day, in a primary school in the suburbs in England, and in the nursing room was Setsuna, reviewing again her plan, because this would be the day that she would free Harry from the hell he lived with the Dursleys.
It had been a month since the visit of Sailor Pluto of the future (in the form of a message) and another from that, Setsuna, with the alias of Trisha Meiou, went to work at the school where Harry was going to check the situation and if necessary, to save him.
Just after seeing the message of her future self, Setsuna had talked to Serena and Darien (being the future rulers of Crystal Tokyo) to tell them where she was going to be, and was ready if they rejected her request (She even carried with her, the snow sphere as evidence to show why she went to England, to save a stranger (to them), but it was not necessary since Serena and Darien, after listening, looked at each other, and they replied that they supported her and that she continue with her plan to rescue this Harry Potter, while they would be waiting for her return to get know him.
The young woman was currently nursing the injuries of a little girl who had tripped on the playground and scraped her knee. After she had placed a band-aid on her knee and sent her off, she sat back in her chair, waiting for another child to come in.
"Um...E-Excuse m-me..." She turned, and her eyes widened in shock. There, in the middle of the doorway, stood the very child she was trying to save...Harry Potter.
Regaining her calm, Setsuna approached him and asked gently, "Mr Potter? Are you all right?"
Harry felt very weak, as he had spent weeks without eating well and between that, doing housework and surviving the physical abuse he suffered from Vernon, and now the bullies at the school, the poor boy had been dizzy all morning.
And even though Vernon warned would happen if someone saw him, Harry decided to risk it, as being weak, he was not thinking clearly, and besides, the new nurse, though very reserved, was very kind and treated all children equally and without favoritism, and she was very gentle with him in his last check.
"M-miss Trisha, I-i ...", Harry tried to say what his discomfort was, but between dizziness and fatigue, could only manage to say the name of the gentle nurse, before passing out in front of her.
Setsuna let out a soft gasp of horror. "Oh my goodness..." She breathed as she rushed to the little boy's side. What had they done to him...? He was going to need a checkup, right away.
Setsuna took him carefully to one of the beds in nursing and began checking the poor child.
And with it Setsuna, noted that Harry was malnourished and showed signs of fatigue, but that was not all.
His back was missing massive patches of skin, some of which even revealed raw muscle. Every inch of skin on his back was heavily bruised. Blood was gushing out of his body. He was covered in slashes and lacerations. His arm was broken...
Setsuna covered her mouth in horror at seeing him so thoroughly injured.
"This is worse than the memories!" Setsuna thought, and without wasting time, began trying her best to mend the wounds of the poor boy.
After attempting to heal most of the wounds in Harry, Setsuna decided that it was time to carry out her plan. The reason that Vernon had not been discovered before was because he had bribed the family doctor and nurse so they wouldn't reveal the status of Harry.
So Setsuna, with the help of a friend of Mina, the Interpol agent Katherine, had infiltrated the school, along with Detective Beckett, of Scotland Yard, to access files of Harry and to check the state in which he stood.
And with the state in which Harry was at the time, and what they found in the archives, they had sufficient evidence to take legal custody of Harry from the Dursleys and lock Vernon and Petunia away for child abuse.
Setsuna, after seeing Harry was resting by analgesic, asked the detective to take care of Harry while she went to Privet Drive to carry out her plan. So she took out her cellphone and communicated with Katherine.
"So you're certain the evidence will be enough to get that man imprisoned?" She asked.
"Oh yeah. After looking over the injuries and deciphering what caused them? That man is going to be sent away for a long, long time."
"Okay, then I'll go to his house to continue with the plan. Harry's in the infirmary with Beckett." Setsuna said to Katherine.
"Well, then I'll tell Beckett, to take Harry to a hospital while you get custody of him. See you in the hospital, Miss Meiou." replied Katherine to Setsuna.
Half an hour later, Setsuna was in front of Privet Drive # 4 with a folder in her hands. She approached the house, coming to the door and ringing the bell.
The door was immediately thrown open, and Vernon Dursley stepped out, a huge fake smile plastered on his face. It made Setsuna sick just looking at him...
"Hello there! How may I help you?"
Proving to be an excellent actress (and for the sake of Harry) Setsuna continued her plan and replied calmly to Vernon.
"Good morning Sir, I come from the school where your children go. Your son Dudley and your nephew Harry? I am the school nurse Trisha Meiou, and I'd like to talk about your nephew."
Vernon paled a little at the mention of Harry visiting the nurse, but trying to follow his, act replied "Of course, but tell me, what happened to the boy, is he all right? "
"Well, actually, Mr. Dursley, no. He is quite far from all right, as a matter of fact." Vernon began to turn purple. "You see, when he came to me, he said my name, and then immediately passed out in the doorway. I inspected him, and saw that he was quite severely injured. Plus, on closer inspection, he seems to have not eaten in days." Vernon was on the brink of panicking now.
"Oh...Well, erm...I have no idea how this happened..."
"Oh, but I do, Mr. Dursley. I know EXACTLY what happened." Setsuna was now glaring darkly at the large man. "The poor thing has clear signs of malnutrition and constant physical abuse. We checked over all of the wounds with which he came to school today, "Setsuna said as Vernon cursed mentally for beating the freak before sending him to school.
"But that's a lie! My wife and I have taken care of the boy the best we could since his parents died! We have given him everything!" Vernon said trying to get out of a situation that was getting more and more complicated. "Surely he was hurt by playing with his friends at school, you know how rough children play sometimes!" Vernon said as he laughed falsely, which infuriated Setsuna, who showing to have an outstanding self - control. She continued.
"Do not lie, sir! And before you say there is no evidence, here I have the medical records of Mr Potter, that prove otherwise" insisted Setsuna, cornering Vernon further.
Vernon was sweating bullets at this point. "Well, I...I...It wasn't me, I..."
"I told you to stop lying, sir. Now please tell me why you would stoop so low as to heavily injure a little boy."
"I didn't-"
"ANSWER THE QUESTION!"
"BECAUSE I WANTED TO BEAT THE FREAKISHNESS OUT OF HIM!" Vernon paled, having betrayed himself, and nervously watched Setsuna, who seemed to be about to explode. Vernon closed his eyes with fear, expecting the worst, but to his surprise, he only heard a voice whose coldness could have frozen the hottest fires of hell.
"People like you, Mr. Dursley, are the scum of the Earth. Abusing defenseless children... Disgusting! And do not even think of trying to bribe me, for it will not work" Setsuna continued, while Vernon was about to pass out, losing his last option.
Seeing the state that Vernon was in, (which was what she wanted) Setsuna continued with the most important part of her plan.
"But the reason I'm here, Mr. Dursley, is because I have a deal for you" she said, leaving Vernon speechless. "I will not denounce you, in exchange for handing me legal custody of Mr Potter"
Vernon could not believe his luck, so wanting to get out of that mess, he accepted relinquishing custody, signing the papers, but unwittingly by nerves, also signing a confession of all that he did to the boy (which Setsuna had not told him)
Unable to hide the curiosity, and feeling no he longer had problems because of the freak, Vernon asked the person in front of him "And why do you want the boy? People like him only cause problems."
"That's my business and not for you to know, Mr. Dursley, farewell" Setsuna said as she was leaving
"Perfect! Now the freak is your problem!" Vernon screamed.
Setsuna, unable to contain herself anymore, turned and hit Vernon with a right hook to the jaw, knocking him unconscious.
"Bastard..." She muttered before making her way back to the school. Harry would be awakening soon enough, and she wanted to be there when he woke up to deliver the news to him that he had a new mother. A mother that was going to love him so much it hurt...
But then, Setsuna recalled that Katherine and the detective would lead Harry to hospital to cure him better, so she decided to ask Katherine which hospital Beckett took Harry and ask another favor, related to the belongings of Harry, because in her haste, Setsuna, forgot to request any objects he may have left behind from the Dursleys.
After getting the information she needed, she moved as fast as she could to the hospital. Her son was going to need her when he awakened...
