I don't own Sailor Moon bla bla bla…

Goodbye blue sky

Sailor Moon squinted as the penetrating light of her crystal shun incredibly, the warrior before her roared in pain from the blinding and powerful force. The princess could feel her opponent begin to die, her heart jolted when she suddenly heard the dim yet unmistakable cries for help from Venus. Fortunately the crystal began to destroy the monster .(Jupiter and Mars have it under control) she quickly thought as the monster tried to control it's power . Seconds later the Reginamian warrior groaned in pain as the prevailing energy of the crystal triumphed against it. The monster died before Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury, but it was too late to hear Venus's cries of help and despair.

"What's going on?" Moon asked as the monstrous warrior died away.

Mercury quickly scanned the area, "I don't know, I don't think the rest are having a problem" she replied through the blast and damage of everything.

Moon shook her head worriedly "No, I'm sure I just heard Venus crying for help!" she replied loudly.

The senshi of ice quickly took out her portable computer, diligently and swiftly she moved her hand across the mini keyboard pressing several buttons. She slightly smiled when the machine informed her that the warrior was dead, seconds later the monstrous man disappeared. "This thing is dead, we'd better hurry to others" she said nodding to Moon before running towards her comrades, the blonde leader right behind her.

When the two senshi arrived they almost fell over, mouths open they couldn't believe what they were seeing. Jupiter and Mars were rolling around trying to hit each other, faces filled with anger and tears, they tried to rip each other apart.

Jupiter slammed the fire senshi hard against the ground, "THIS IS YOUR FAULT! THEY TOOK HER BECAUSE OF YOU!" she scram holding her down.

Mars squirmed to get away, "SHE WAS KIDNAPPED BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU HIT ME! YOU AND YOUR IMPUSLIVE TEMPER! GET OFF OF ME!" she protested throwing kicks and failed punches.

"YOU MADE ME HIT YOU! YOU WOULD'T SHUT UP! I SWEAR IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO VENUS I'M GONNA…"

"WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? KILL ME?! HUH? THAT'LL MAKE UP FOR WHAT YOU DID TO HER!" Mars fired back before the senshi of lightning could even continue.

Mercury put her hand over her mouth "Oh my…" she muffled.

Moon blinked a couple of times before she broke from her trance "I can't believe this! These two are going to get it!" she roared stomping towards the two fighting senshi. She stood over them but was unnoticed, "STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!" she ordered.

Nothing.

"I SAID, STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!"… "MAKOTO! REI! I ORDER YOU TO STOP AND LISTEN TO YOUR PRINCESS!"

Mars stopped squirming and Jupiter lessened her grip on the girl below her, the two looked up at Moon and for the first time were scared of her, her eyes filled with fury she watched as the two senshi quickly turned a dark crimson color.

"What do you think you are doing? We're a team and I find you two fighting?! What happened here?! Where is Venus?" Moon asked a little calmer but still sounding infuriated.

"Uh…We…you see…Um…" Jupiter stammered unable to find the correct words to describe what had happened, Moon sighed at this and decided to turn her attention to Mars.

The senshi of fire pushed Jupiter off and stood up dusting herself off as she did, "We were fighting the monster and we thought it was dead…Venus noticed it wasn't and before we could do anything…it…it took her" she explained feeling her stomach twist into unpleasant knots.

Moon stared at her skeptically, "What were you two doing when Venus was kidnapped?!" she complained.

Jupiter finally got up from the ground, "We…we were fighting. Min…I mean Venus told us the monster wasn't dead but we…we didn't listen and by the time we did…it…it was too late" she managed to say before collapsing into body wrecking tears.

"TOO LATE?!" Moon inquired angrily.

"Yes. The monster took her…we're sorry Usagi" Mars said hanging her head down.

Mercury placed her hand on her princess's shoulder, "It seems like an honest mistake…maybe Venus should've been more careful…" she said trying to calm the huffing blonde.

"NO! this wasn't an honest mistake! I can't believe you two! You let an enemy take a fellow senshi because you were fighting!? What is the matter with you?! I thought you cared for Venus!" Moon scram as she pointed her finger menacingly at the two distraught senshi in front of her.

Jupiter swayed nervously in her spot, "We do! It's just…"

"SHUT UP! I don't want to hear what you have to say! Neither of you! You two are a disgrace! From now on you listen to ME and Mercury, you no longer have a say in what we do! Do you understand?!" Moon commanded furiously.

"We're a team! You can't just take all the decisions!" Mars stupidly retorted.

In a blink of an eye Moon slapped the senshi of fire as hard as she could, "You no longer have the right to take decisions! Not after today! You want to be in this team? You do as I say!" she ordered as her eyes penetrated deep into Mar's soul, with a nod and an embarrassed blush she backed off.

As Mercury worked on her computer she frowned at what she saw, "Um…it seems they've taken Venus to the asteroid…and she's not well" she informed grimly.

"WHAT?!"

The cold, hard surface of the asteroid hit Venus's face as she fell to the side, Arunci delivered powerful blows to the blonde as she used all her strength to take every hit.

"WHERE IS THE CRYSTAL?!" the Reginamian leader cried hitting the senshi across the face.

Venus spat some blood and turned to look at her aggressor smugly, "Do you really think I'm going to tell you?! I'd rather die! So go on and kill me I don't care!" she challenged.

Arunci grabbed the senshi of love by the collar and held her high, "Oh don't worry my dear, I won't be killing you, instead I think I'll just kill your friends. How does that sound?" he said smiling evilly.

"Ha! Haven't you seen what we can do? Two of your disgusting monsters have already died and a third is on it's way!" Venus leered in pain looking over at the dying Reginamian warrior that kidnapped her, "So you can kill me but you'll never defeat the Sailor senshi!"

Arunci grinned then began to laugh maniacally, "…Silly girl! It's amusing to think your pubescent friends could defeat ME!… Females are only useful for the pleasure of men and raising offspring…" he began to gently stroke the top of Venus's breast with his finger as he stared at her lustfully, "And I must admit you and your friends will bring me much…pleasure…"

The senshi of love could feel Arunci's hot breathe against her face, his putrid split lips inches away from her bruised yet delicate, sweet one's. His hand was now perversely swaying against her breast, tears fell from eyes, her stomach churned repulsively as his stench grew closer and closer.

"UGH!… SIR!…HELP!…help…" the dying warrior suddenly cried.

Arunci frowned as he turned to look at his soldier, sprawled on the ground, turning and groaning terribly from pain. The monster turned to look at it's master one last time, with one long groan it closed it's eyes and disappeared never to be seen again. The Reginamian leader snapped his head back to look at Venus, his eyes grew menacing, teeth clenched and showing he tightened his grip on the senshi.

Despite the pain and fear in her heart, the senshi of love could not help but smile, "He…He…looks like your down to only one. Better hope he's stronger then those other two losers" she chuckled arrogantly.

Arunci flung the senshi hard into the ground then kicked her swiftly in the ribs, bending over he grabbed the wheezing girl by the hair, "Just know that when I'm done with you, your friends and every being on this planet I can promise you won't be laughing so hard, death will be a privilege" he hissed angrily before tossing her roughly across the hard stone ground.

The Reginamian leader walked over to his last remaining warrior, "See if you can't persuade this little whore to reveal the location of the crystal, do as you please but remember one thing…I want her alive" he commanded before striding away.

Venus watched as the warrior moved towards her, he held in his hand a sinister looking dagger, his eyes twinkled devilishly, the pleasure of torturing warmed his body. The senshi of love knew the monstrous pain she would have to endure for the sake Earth, taking a long deep breathe she silently prayed for the safety of her planet and friends and if not then at least to share one last kiss with her…

Back at the temple, Rei paced around nervously. The sight of the Reginamian warrior taking Venus plagued her mind terribly, she couldn't even meditate. We was so angry and yet so unbelievably sad, her chest felt hard and pain ridden. She was unsure whether to hit something or break down into tears. Fortunately upon arrival at the temple Usagi immediately separated the priestess and Makoto, both were placed in separate rooms, the genius and the fighter in one and the leader and psychic in another.

Rei looked over at Usagi who sat quietly thinking, neither had spoken a word since the hospital. For the first time the raven haired girl was too embarrassed and guilt ridden to suggest a plan, even if she didn't have one. Being so useless to save the person she loved the most tore her apart but she knew her silent obedience was well deserved. The priestess felt a tinge of relief when Usagi finally looked up at her.

"I wish we had more time to think, if we transport to the asteroid we can fight but with Venus captured…I can't see us winning without her getting hurt…or worse" the princess said glumly.

Rei stared at her blankly, unsure if she was allowed to speak.

Usagi rolled her eyes, "You can say something…I know how much you care for her" she said kindly.

The priestess smiled as tears ran down her face, "I…I do, you have no idea! Oh Usagi! This is all my fault!" she cried falling to her knees.

The blonde held her in her arms and gently rubbed her back, "Rei…I know it hurts but you have to be strong! For the team and especially for Minako, It feels like it's your fault but it's not…"

"But it is! You don't understand! It's my fault we were fighting instead of protecting her!"

Usagi lifted Rei's face and stared at her intently but worriedly, "Then please tell me why you two were fighting! It none of my business what happens between you and Makoto but when it disrupts our duty as senshi I have to do something! I'm not making you tell me, I'm asking you to…as a fellow teammate but most importantly as a friend" she said filled with emotion.

The priestess smiled, if she could trust anybody it was Usagi, all the bottled up emotions had to come out and her leader deserved to know why the senshi of love had been kidnapped, she closed her eyes and sighed, "Alright…I'll tell you. For awhile now I've had…feelings for…Minako", sigh, "I kissed her…and I think she kissed me back. I really thought she had feelings for me but then…when we first fought at the hospital I saw her and…Makoto kissing. From then on I couldn't help but hate her so much…I kept nagging and tempting until she burst and hit me. We were about to kill each other when we finally noticed Venus was in trouble, but it was too…late. I'm so sorry!" she sobbed.

"Oh Rei-chan! Why didn't you tell me before? You didn't need to keep it all inside! We're friends!"

"I know…I'm sorry, I guess I was embarrassed and scared she would find out. I could never lose her friendship, either of yours!"

Usagi smiled and held her tighter, "You'll never lose my friendship or any of ours, even Makoto's. You should've talked with her if you were angry, that's what friends do"

"I know, I know…it's just…I don't know what happened to me. Seeing them kiss…I've never felt so betrayed and angry, I hated feeling like that but I couldn't help it!"

"Do you love her?"

Rei felt her face turn red, she blinked a few times before slowly nodding.

"Then does it matter who she's with?"

The priestess frowned, "What?" she asked offended.

Usagi looked at her knowingly, "If you truly love her then it doesn't matter. Her happiness should mean your happiness even if it's with someone else. Would you rather she be with you out of loyalty but constantly desiring someone else?"

"No"

"Then isn't enough to see her smile? To see her eyes glow passionately? There's no greater feeling then love, don't you want her to feel that?"

"Yes. Of coarse! I just wish…she could feel that with me"

Usagi gently wiped Rei's tears, "It's hard but I know that if Makoto warms Minako's heart and makes her smile , you'll enjoy her smiles and feel truly happy for both of them, you just have to try"

Meanwhile in the other room Makoto too felt the painful worry in her heart. Much like Rei she had finally accepted her fault in the kidnapping of Venus. She wasn't ready to openly forgive the priestess or admit her fault but at least she no longer wanted to kill her. The brunette knew the fight was about Minako, about their feelings for her and how neither of them could give in, after all she did kiss them both. She remembered that kiss…so soft and beautiful, how could she not want to kiss those lips forever? Then like a dagger to her heart Makoto remembered Venus's helpless face as she was being taken away, that heart ripping disappointment in her eyes that pierced her soul…and worst of all how useless she was to her.

"Dammed it! Why didn't I do anything?!" the brunette suddenly cursed as she slammed her fist into the wall causing some stone to break and fall.

Ami flinched and tore away from her computer to stare at the angry girl, "Mako-chan please, I know you're worried but destroying the temple and possibly breaking your hand isn't going to help" she said seriously.

Makoto, head bent down, rubbed her sore hand, "I'm sorry Ami-chan, you're right. I just feel so…so….so useless! Those monsters have Venus and are doing god knows what to her! This didn't have to happen, it's all my fault!" she cried raising her fist.

"Well actually it's also Rei's fault, it was very stupid of you two to fight over Minako in battle, well it's stupid of you to fight over her at all" the blue haired said, her eyes never leaving the computer.

"Uh…what? How do you know we were fighting over her?"

Ami typed a little more before turning her complete attention to Makoto, "I didn't say anything but I saw you and Minako kiss, you know while you were buried under the cement, and when I saw Rei and how she looked at you two I suspected it. But when she got mad…well it was just too obvious" she said turning back to the computer.

"…And?"

"And what?"

Makoto huffed in frustration, "What do you think? You're the only person that knows, I think. Well at least you're the only person I've talked to about this" she said hoping her genius friend could help.

"To be honest I think that should be the least of your concerns, we need to focus on how we're planning on saving Venus without risking her life and the crystal. That is why getting mad and punching the wall isn't going to help. You and Rei need to keep your love lives out of senshi business, for the sake of everyone"

Makoto nodded feeling ashamed, it took all her will power to stop herself from crying, she had to be strong for the team, especially for Minako, she still could not forgive Rei but she bowed to fight along side her like a teammate.

Ami realized she had been a little harsh, she stood up and gave her tall friend a hug, "Minako is lucky to have someone love her like you do and I know you're going to do everything in your power to save her, no matter what comes out of this you just have to remember that the greatest thing you can give her is your love and friendship, even though she might not be able to give you both" she whispered kindly.

Makoto smiled and embraced the smaller girl tighter, "Thanks Ami-chan, I didn't expect you to be so sappy but thanks" she said smirking.

The blue haired girl looked up at her and grinned, "Same goes to you tough girl" she chuckled.

The special moment of friendship was interrupted by the loud and annoying sound of Ami's computer beeping, she rushed over and checked the screen, "Oh no! they're leaving the asteroid with Venus down to Earth, we don't have time to come up with a plan! Go get the others, we have to move!" she ordered.

Venus could barely open her eyes let alone carry her own weight as she was dragged by a rope across the ground. She no longer felt the rocks hit her body and face, she could only sustain a small amount of hope that maybe the senshi could defeat the Reginamians and maybe, just maybe she would live to see it. Moments before she had been experiencing a painful torture, bruises and cuts covered her body, her uniform was drenched in blood and dirt, her flesh ached, her bones crumbled under her skin but she never gave in. No matter how much it hurt she could never reveal the owner of the crystal, and yes at one point she prayed for death, but never caved in.

Arunci suddenly stopped in his tracks as well as his warrior who dragged the wounded senshi, the leader got down on one knee and grabbed Venus's face, "This is your last opportunity, one more step and there's no turning back. If you don't tell me where the crystal is I will make you watch me torture, rape and kill your friends. Then I will do the same to you. So tell me, where is the crystal?" he asked almost breaking her jaw with his strong grip.

"Never!" Venus managed to cry before spitting in his face.

Arunci wiped the spit off and chucked her back down, "Fine. You are a very stupid girl. Your friends will suffer unimaginably because of it. This planet will be mine no matter what, you had the chance to spare your friends…but now it's too late, prepare yourself because your last moments of life will be gloriously horrifying" he said continuing his path.

The warrior yanked the rope attached to Venus and followed it's leader, dragging the helpless senshi of love to what was most likely her death.

Mars, Jupiter and Moon ran as fast as they could while following Mercury who led them towards the Reginamians and Venus with her mini computer. Since they were still moving it was unknown where they were going or what they would do.

At one point Jupiter and Mars ran along side each other, neither spoke or share glances, but the growing tension was there. The senshi of lightning felt a small urge to apologize or say something encouraging, she decided against it, "You stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours", she groaned keeping her eyes locked in front of her.

"Fine" Mars stated aggressively.

The four senshi ran across the city and soon found themselves entering the forest on the outskirts, they kept running until Mercury halted and checked her computer, "They've stopped, just up ahead, Venus is close by so we have to be careful. I know we didn't come up with a strategy but I suggest for now are main concern is Venus, so no attacks until she is safe, got it?" she said turning to her teammates who nodded to her.

Approaching quietly and carefully, the four girls made their way to a clearing which lead to a small ancient temple, much like Rei's except it was uncared for. They could see traces of blood smeared on the floor and leading up the steps into an unknown location. Jupiter bent down and took from the ground a small piece of orange fabric tainted in blood, she almost passed out from grief, the stabbing pain in her heart rapidly turned into gut wrenching fury, fists clenched she stood up.

"Everyone just calm down, we need to do this right" Mercury said fearing Jupiter's impulsiveness.

"No! We need to do this now! We have to save her!" the senshi of lightning growled, tears of anger and frustration ran down her face, she swayed anxiously in her spot, unable to take control any longer she launched herself across the clearing.

"Jupiter! Stop! What are you doing?" Moon demanded.

Mars was about to go after her but was abruptly stopped by Mercury, "No! It's a trap!", she warned holding the senshi of fire with all her might.

Adrenaline pumped rapidly in Jupiter's veins as she ran across the clearing, she gave a great leap to land on the first flight of stairs, unfortunately she never made it. In mid air she was unexpectedly struck by a speeding arrow, it pierced through her side with incredible force, she could feel the sharp edge scrape against her ribs. The impact threw Jupiter off coarse and on to the ground where she twisted and moaned in pain, her breathing became rapid and strained as she surely punctured a lung.

"JUPITER! NOOOO!" Moon cried readying herself to run to her friend.

Out from behind the building of the temple Arunci, his warrior and Venus still dragged by the rope came out. The Reginamian leader held a rather large bow and arrow, he aimed at Sailor Moon who stood unmoving. Mars prepared her flame sniper and aimed it right back but as soon as she did the warrior grabbed Venus and placed her between them.

"Put your weapon down before I jam this arrow straight through her head" Arunci demanded still aiming at Moon.

Mars did not budge, her anger would not allow it. She looked at a wounded Venus, barely alive and struggling to reach her friends, her arm weakly stretched out aching for help. The senshi of fire sighed before undoing her flame sniper, her eyes never leaving Venus's.

The Reginamian leader smiled and lowered his bow, as soon as he did his warrior aimed his, ready for any attack from the senshi. "How wise of you, too bad your friends were not as so", Arunci said signaling too Venus then to Jupiter who was now struggling to get up, "They will soon die if not helped so I suggest you hand over the crystal, which ever one of you has it, before they perish as well as your planet"

Moon, Mars and Mercury were silent, they had no idea of what to do and now they did not only fear for the life of Venus but also for Jupiter's. "What do you want with the crystal?" the senshi leader asked in an attempt to buy some time.

Arunci cackled evilly, "I want to take over this planet of coarse! If you offer the crystal peacefully then I will spare your lives and make you my royal whores!", he laughed heartedly, "Or you can choose to fight me and die a terrible death, along with all the species of this planet. Think very hard about your answer, be sure you won't do something you'll regret"

Moon looked at her two dying friends, with a defeatist face she prepared to turn herself in and took a step forward, Arunci smiled from ear to ear.

"NO! You can't tell him where the crystal is! Save Jupiter and kill them! Now! You have to!" Venus cried with all her might, she attempted to release herself from the warrior's grip but instead received a punishing blow to the head.

"Quiet! Give me the crystal now or I'll kill her!" Arunci threatened, he grabbed Venus and held a knife to her throat and cut her a little, a drip of blood coursed down her neck to her collar bone.

Mars took a few menacing steps forward, "Don't you dare! Sailor Moon do something!" she urged looking to her leader who looked back completely baffled.

"Stop stalling! I'll kill you one by one if I have to!" Arunci growled cutting a little deeper into Venus's throat, "Say goodbye to your dear friend"

Jupiter pushed herself off the ground, bent over in pain she looked up at the Reginamian leader and stretched out her arm to him, "No…don't…I have it…I have the crystal…just let her go…you can have it…but please…leave her alone…" she managed to groan through strained tears.

Arunci looked at her unbelievingly, "You? You have the crystal? That's hard to believe, the crystal would be saving your life. Why should I believe you?" he asked staring shamefully at the desperate senshi.

With all her might Jupiter managed to stand straight, the arrow sticking out of her side poured blood, her legs trembled but she stood her ground, "It's…healing me, it just takes…a while, I don't want you hurting my…friends, take it…but give her back…" she wheezed.

"Show it to me"

"I can't because…it's…it's…inside me! Let her go…and take me…take it out of me…just let her go"

Venus broke free from Arunci's grip but was immediately stopped by the rope around her wrists, she fought to free herself, "NO! Jupiter! You have to fight! Don't do it! Attack him!" she pleaded.

With great difficulty Jupiter began to climb the steps, "Let her go…you can have me…and the crystal…" she said making her way up.

"No! Mako-chan! Please don't!! please!" Venus cried, her eyes met Jupiter's and pleaded her to stop. The senshi of lightning smiled at her, her eyes glistened as tears kept pouring down.

"Jupiter! Stop!" Mars called out, she ran towards her but stopped when Jupiter turned to look at her.

"We agreed…you'd stay…out of my way!" the senshi of lighting ordered.

Half way up the stairs the warrior pointed his bow and arrow at the wounded senshi but she kept walking up, Arunci looked at her suspiciously, "Fine. You can have her…but you and the crystal are mine" he said flinging Venus, she rolled down the stairs past Jupiter and down to the bottom, Moon, Mars and Mercury immediately ran to her.

Jupiter stopped, she crossed her arms as the antenna on her forehead rose, "SUPREME THUNDER DR…", her attacked was disrupted by an arrow pelting into her right shoulder, she stood for a few moments before falling back against the stone stairs.

"HOW DARE YOU DECIEVE ME!!" Arunci cried at the top of his lungs.

Jupiter lay motionless, slowly and painfully she moved her head to the side and looked at Venus, she smiled, happy to have saved her and amended her terrible mistake, the blonde stared back devastated but too wounded to help her. Both looked at each other crying, fearing this would be the last time their eyes met, the brunette smiled once more before turning away, she looked up at the hot sun shining down at her, it felt good.

"MARS FLAME SNIPER!" Mars cried from afar.

Jupiter watched the flaming arrow pass above her, after that she could only hear the dim of the battle. She could no longer feel her body, she felt dizzy and cold, yet she smiled, her duty was done. Venus was safe. The senshi of lighting admired the scenery above her and took one last deep breathe, "Goodbye…blue sky…" she whispered before everything went black…
