Chapter 06

"Inspector General!" A blonde man barges into his superior's office.

"Wakagi Toshio?!" She turns on her heal, quickly putting a picture frame face down.

"We are always, always, always beaten to the punch by Sailor V! This is an insult to the entire police department!" He does not give courtesy to the fact that in reality, she is his boss. "I think Sailor V herself is suspicious! I just know that V herself is controlling things behind the scenes of this series of mysterious cases!"

"Detective your misunderstanding needs to be cleared." The brunette woman spins her chair around to face him, clearly angry at him for barging in, without knocking or something. "There have been an increasing number of mysterious cases…" She pauses for effect, though not enough to let him interrupt more than he has. "And a 'Champion of Justice' has even appeared." She stands up and places her hands of the desk putting her face closer to his.

"That is why I, in my duty as Inspector General, personally established the Special Police Headquarters. I even recruited only the best of the best such as yourself to the ranks of such a special force Wakagi Toshio! Now if you think you have the right to complain, then solve some cases if you don't like it!" He scrambles from the office, the door slamming behind him.

"For pity's sake!" She goes up to the wall behind her desk, and flips a switch. "Why are all my underling incompetent fools? I can't even compare myself to you V~chan!" She swoons over the wall. "Tee Hee, and one day, I bet on it, one day I will have you on my police force! ~"

"Dammit!" Toshio storms away from her office. "V! One day I will unmask you and show the world who you really are!"

oooOOO000OOOooo

"Just five more minutes…" Venus rolls over on her side, Ami is standing over her already dressed and ready for the day, and well she did get up two hours ago.

"Minako-san, you are going to be late for school." Ami gently shook Venus's shoulders again, she then moved on to Usagi gently shaking her, though she was more responsive because she could smell breakfast. Naru was already sitting up in her sleeping bag, rubbing sleep from her eyes. Ami then went into the kitchen to help Makoto with breakfast.

"Ne, Ami-chan, we have barely met and yet it feels like I have known you guys for years, it's so strange." Makoto looks at Ami. "I mean, all of you came to spend the night at my place even though I literally just started at the new school, with no friends, and suddenly it feels like I have had friends for years." She smiles.

"I know what you mean, that is how I felt when I first met Usagi-san, I was once a transfer like you, people were scared of me, not like they are of you, but I still intimidated them. But Usagi-san, she just immediately said hi with a smile, seemingly not intimidated at all and when she asked me to hang out, it just felt like an old friend I had not seen in a while. It was a very comforting feeling." Ami smiles at Makoto. "I had a very similar feeling with both you and when Minako-san joined the group, though it still feels like we are missing something, though I can't seem to place it, like one person is missing..." Ami trails off, Makoto nods, though Ami now off in thought doesn't notice a thing.

"I smell breakfast!" Usagi starts to look in cabinets. Minako comes into the kitchen lost in thought, with Naru following behind.

oooOOO000OOOooo

"Morning Ringo-san." Makoto smiles as she locks her door.

"You sure made friends fast." She smiles as she looks at the four other girls.

"Oh, sorry let me introduce them; this is Aino Minako, Tsukino Usagi, Mizuno Ami, and Osaka Naru!" Makoto points to each girl in turn; she then introduces them to her landlady.

"Well you girls better hurry if you don't want to be late for school, if I had enough room in my car for all of you I would give you a ride, but sadly I don't." Her eyes twinkle as she heads down the stairs on her way to the bottom floor, the girls quickly follow. They make it a good distance before something comes out of the woods.

"Aoi! Ran!" A little girl her school uniform dirty and torn, her blonde hair a mess, steps out in front of them calling for her friends, tears streaming down her dirty face.

"Hey, sweetie are you okay?" Makoto asks as she gets down on the little girls level. This is one of the little girls from yesterday… "What's your name?"

"M-my friends are gone! W-we were playing and we g-got lost and-and, I can't find them, they they…" amidst crying she was able to get that much out before she starts crying harder.

"Okay honey, what's your name?" The little looks up from rubbing her eyes she then hugs Makoto. "I-I'm Ichigo."

"Okay Ichigo, when did your friends leave you?" Makoto gently asks the girl.

"Um, I don't remember, it was dark." She hugs Makoto harder.

"Ne, Mako-chan, why don't you take her to the police station, I bet her parents are very worried." Makoto nods and pick up the girl.

"Um, I don't know where it is…"

"I'll take you!" Naru grabs onto Makoto's arm and leads her towards the station.

"Usagi, stay here, you and Ami should stay here for when the police officer comes; I am going to look in the woods. Here Usagi, hold my bag." She discreetly grabs her transformation compact and communication pen as she runs off into the wooded area.

"Minako-san!" Ami, handing her bag to Usagi as well goes and chases Venus.

"I just get to stand here, I want to help." Usagi folds her arms and pouts.

oooOOO000OOOooo

"Alright class, let's get started!" Haruna walks into her classroom, she then looks around not surprising Usagi and Venus were not to be found, but the fact that Naru and the every early Ami were not here, plus that new transfer, that none of them were here worries her. "Um, well I hope everything is okay…"

oooOOO000OOOooo

As she enters the woods, Ami loses sight of Venus, so she decides not to worry so much about that and look for the two girls.

"This way!" Two figures dash past Ami, one in reds and purples the other in red and blues after several minutes of looking, plus she also was lost, which was not at all like her. So she decides to dash after the two figures, figuring that it won't hurt and maybe they know something about what is going on.

"Ouch!" Ami trips and lands on her face, not unlike Usagi would have, though for her to do it, it startles her, she gently gets up making note of a few scrapes, she then looks for a sign of those two seemingly flying figures.

"Moew…"

"Oh, I am so sorry!" Ami gently inspects the little back cat before she picks it up, she then starts to head in the direction the two girls had gone in hopes of finding the two lost little girls or Venus or those two girls in strange school uniforms.

"Why won't you listen to me, Petty!?" Ami comes up on a clearing. "You let a human get away! I don't care if she never did see our faces, she could come back with police officers, or even worse that Sailor V girl, heavens forbid it be her, she has already thwarted Fluorite-sama's plans enough, we really don't need her meddling anymore!" Ami discreetly hides behind a tree as she looks for the source of the voice, not really liking the tone.

"But, Onee-sama!?" Finding the source of the voices, they looked but small children, one obviously older than the other, both rather cute with dark hair, the older her hair down in curls with a tiara the younger her hair in buns on either side, quite like Usagi's though without the streamers, plus a seaweed looking tiara. In fact if not for their sizes they would have looked like twins.

"Something feels familiar about them, where have I seen them before?" Ami wondering to herself out loud, though said it just a bit too loud because both girls look in her direction. Ami quickly darts fully behind the tree, hugging the cat to her.

"Petty, look what I found! This one has stronger energy then the little children have, it is quite strong!" Both girls grab hold of Ami's arm and guide her to the middle of the clearing.

"Just who are you two!" Ami tries to shrug of their grip.

"What you don't recognize us?" The older one shakes her head. "I thought we were famous all over the country, she must be a shut in, an otaku, or one of those smart ones that like to study." She smirks as she looks at the twin buns.

"But she has much too strong energy to be one of those, they are usually quite useless on the energy front, plus she is rather cute." The younger of the two sneers at her sister. "Anyway, really you don't recognize the World's Cutest Wink!" She winks for enfaces. Suddenly Ami gets very dizzy and struggles to stay conscious.

"Man this one is strong not to fall for your Wink." The older one smiles gleefully. "Fluorite-sama will be so pleased with her energy; she will even forgive you for letting that little brat get away!" She smiles at Ami.

"Wait…" Ami struggles to get the words out "You two, you are those new idols that everyone is talking about, Pandora and Petite Pandora…" She struggles to get out of the two girls grasps, while still holding the cat, because for some reason she just can't just leave it alone. "How?" She drops to her knees still struggling.

"Lookie, lookie no wonder she has some strong energy." Ami passes out as a blue a light encases the whole area.

oooOOO000OOOooo

"What was that?" Rei points to the direction that they just came from, being a loud scream came from that direction, plus a blue light was coming towards them.

"Come on!" Venus runs straight into the light, Rei following behind. What is that? Both girls come to a clearing and what they see is Ami passed out in the middle clutching something and two dark haired girls standing over her giving her a weird look.

"You, who are you?!" Both the girls startle at Rei's voices and the older one curses under her breath.

"Onee-sama there seems to be two of them, we should have known they would have come for their own kind, let's get out of her!" Venus and Rei look at the two girls with a weird look as the little one starts to back up.

"Petty, we are not leaving; Fluorite-sama will kill us if we let these senshi get away!" Pandora grabs the scuff of her sister's dress dragging her towards the two senshi.

"But remember what happened to Narcissus?!" Petite Pandora tries to get out of her sisters grip. "Let's just take that one and get out of here while we still can!" she manages to get out of sister grip, runs towards the fallen Ami lifts her up and starts to run just as fast as she can.

"Geez, I told that girl to stay and wait for the police!" Venus runs towards the fleeing girl. "Sailor M, take care of this one, these are the people behind the disappearances!" Rei just nods her head as she blocks Pandora from following Venus and her sister.

"I am your opponent!" Rei takes a fighting stance that Artemis had taught her.

oooOOO000OOOooo

"Man that little thing is fast, even with the added weight of Ami-chan!" Venus follows Petty trying to keep the little Dark Agency girl from fully getting away, in hopes of saving Ami and the children that had obviously been taken prisoner by these two girls. Finally having somewhat caught up she tackles the girl her friend and all, causing Petty to drop Ami as She rolls along with Venus. "Sorry Ami-chan you are going to have some heck of a bruise or two." She grab the scuff of Petty's dress, not unlike her sister hand done and started to drag her further into the woods, leaving Ami where she was, she would be safer that way. Coming across another clearing she throws Petty out a little ways in front of her.

"Ouch, you needn't be so ruff Sailor V; I am but a little girl." She makes a pouty face at the warrior, with fake tears to try to get away. "A really cute one at that." She tries to make the cutest puppy dog eyes she can and suddenly she winks, causing Venus to feel drained. "Gotcha!"

"You are a dark agency Youma, really, I was giving quite nice treatment for one of them!" Venus drops to one knee, grabbing hold of her compact she pulls it out in front of her, "Crescent Beam!" The Beam of light shoot Petty, but instead of turning to dust like she was supposed to do, she started to give off this nocuous gas as she was melting, which in itself was gross, but she seem to still have control of her body.

Venus then heard coughing from all around her, she was trying not to cough herself, and as she looked around she could see children they all seemed to be sleeping, but they were also coughing.

"You, you monster!" Venus reaches to the sky with her compact in her hands. "Venus Power! Love Crescent Shower!" She stood up on both legs. "Pour Down on Us!" As she turns into dust, Venus goes back in the direction of Rei.

oooOOO000OOOooo

"Fine just leave me!" Usagi paces back and forth, it has been quite a while now since the two entered to forest and the two that went to the station have not returned either. Usagi looks in the direction of the forest and with a small look to the pile of school bags she feels a tug on her heart. "I need to go in there…" She looks at the forest again, and then decides after the tug becomes stronger she heads into the forest.

Following the tug, she comes to a clearing that otherwise she would not have found and comes to the scene of two girls fighting, the one it Purple and red seems to be having trouble, being she is on the ground struggling to get up. The second on just about to do a finishing blow.

"NOOOOOOO!" Before she realizes it, Usagi is in front of the struggling girl, startling herself, which also startles both Rei and Pandora.

"Serenity no!" Venus runs from the other side of the clearing and tackles Usagi and puts her body over the top of both girls taking the brunt of the attack.

"Oh hoho." Pandora put a hand to her lips that hold a gleeful smile. "Now this is just cute! You really just scarified yourself for people who are just pathetic." She rolls her eyes.

"Usagi, get Sailor M out of here." Venus whispers to Usagi as she stands up from the stack of girls. "Well, really you want to call these two pathetic?!" Venus takes a stance closer to Pandora as Usagi helps Rei to her feet. Why did she call me Serenity? Also she called me by my name all familiar like, how is that possible… Usagi looks back at Venus as she helps Rei over to the edge.

"Be care!" Rei grimaces at Usagi as she almost runs into a tree.

"Oops, sorry…" Usagi looks sheepish as she lowers the dark haired girl to the ground; she then rips a strip of fabric off of her uniform and ties it around Rei's leg.

"You really didn't need to do that, I don't think your mom will be very happy that she will need to replace that uniform…" Rei yips as Usagi ties it a little too tight, she then loosens it a bit.

"Yeah, probably, but it's for a good cause!" Usagi puts on a smile; she then looks in the direction of Venus. Why do these two feel so familiar? She shakes her head. "Nah, that can't be!" She stands up quickly. "Wait here." She quickly runs towards the fight between Pandora and Venus.

"Hey, wait don't do that!" Rei calls out to Usagi while trying to stand up, grimacing in pain.

oooOOO000OOOooo

"Mommy!" Ichigo bolts from Makoto's arms as soon as she spots her mother, tears in both of their eyes. "Mommy!" The woman scoops up the child and holds her tight in her arms.

"Sir, how about Aoi and Ran?" The mother turns towards the police officer, all he can do is shake his head.

"We just sent some officers out with one of the girls who brought in her." He looks pretty sheepish, Makoto looks around rather uncomfortable.

"I want to help look for the other two; also I hear that there have been several children in the area going missing for the last few days." The officers were talking about it when she was waiting for the girl's mother. She quickly smiled at the mother and daughter, and then made a quick exit for the door before the officer could blink.

"Hey, wait, it's too dangerous for you!" Finally coming to his senses he tries to scurry after her. The woman officer in charge gently puts her hand on his shoulder.

"Let her be." She quickly lets go. "Please take care of the mother and her daughter, I will go and check on our officers." She quickly heads out the door after she gives him a rather pointed look. I bet that that girl is Sailor V!

oooOOO000OOOooo

Makoto looks around and enters the woods in search of the children, after a few steps she feels sleepy but she shakes it off and continues further into the woods looking from side to side. She enters a clearing feeling drowsy again, but this time stronger, she then suddenly falls to the ground asleep.

"This one will do nicely!"
