Rei and Haurka entered the museum and paused at the entrance to find that there was
practically no one there! "Are you sure this place is open?" Rei looked around feeling oddly edgy.
"I thought it was opened but now..." Haurka began "Welcome Welcome" A cheerful voice cut
Haurka off as a teenage girl came leaping up behind them her smile strange but bright and cheerful
none the less. Her bright red hair was pulled up in pigtails and twirled down to her shoulders in
length and she wore some sort of odd clothing for the museum to have her as a sponcer. The red
high heeled straps laced all the way up her ankles, the black pleated skirt, and the white blouse
with a red bow tied at the top botton looked nothing like what someone who would present a
museum would look. Then again this wasn't a normal museum. "So sorry to keep the pair of you
waiting, I had to tend to a leak outside and it became quite a mess but no worries now! Are you
here for the tour?" The girl grinned at them as Rei shifted a bit uneasily and Haurka began to have
second thoughts. "Ya know actually, I don't think we..." "Nonesense" The girl chimmed in before
Haurka could finish. " How about I just give you the speedy tour! It's just been ever so long since
I've had guests! I'm a bit excited." She grinned up at them as Rei and Haurka looked at one
another. "Well...maybe a little peek won't hurt." Rei finally said as the girl squeeled and jumped.
"My name is Rain. I will be your tour guide for the venture into the unknown!" Haurka gave a slight
smile as she and Rei followed the girl who happily skipped down the hall and into a doorway.
Though this room was very dark and as the girl spun around she grinned brightly at them. "Now
the REAL fun can begin!" Haurka and Rei looked at each other before a red light clicked on and
around them were many many mirrors, even the door was now gone and had formed into a mirror.
"Whats going on here?" Haurka yelled growing angry as the girl grinned all the more and spun.
"Welcome to my fun house of horrors! You did come to see raritys at my little museum right." The
smile only widened as the floor opened up under the pair and each one slid down a different slide
into another part of the museum. "Oppsies, watch out for that first step...it's a dosey!" Raine
laughed as she disapeared in a flicker of red petals.
Haurka landed with a thud alone in a dark room. She could almost think she heard leaves?
Slowly the lights flickered to life, but they weren't lights they were candles. She somehow had
ended up outside but this wasn't what it should look like, instead of the spring day she found
herself in a fall chilly evening. "What is this?" Haurka murmered to herself before she heard
footsteps, many footsteps coming her way and with the footsteps came voices, deep voices
chanting words she didn't understand. Haurka stood up quickly her eyes moving around the
scenery about her. The season had definatly suddenly became fall, it was some sort of forest? Or
the farthest point away from a town but things like this weren't common in this part of town and
certainly not from how short the slide down was. "What is going on here!" Haurka yelled out as
the voices seemed to only grow louder in their chants still not giving her a clear answer. Haurka
reached into her pocket pulling out her transformation pen. "Okay then! Uranus Planet Power!
Make-Up" Uranus yelled as her form transformed only to find that everything around her suddenly
grew dark. So dark infact that she couldn't even see her gloved hand infront of her face. "What the
hell!" Uranus exclaimed before a sharp pain was felt in her right shoulder, her left hand grabbing
her shoulder as she spun around only to feel pain next in her stomach as she doubled over onto her
knees, she couldn't see her attacker but only figuring they had to be infront of her she suddenly
lashed out and hit nothing but air. Another sharp pain now as it raced through her chest her body
forced to fly backwards from the force of the kick sent to her chest. Uranus looked up into the
darkness as something flickered she sprung to her feet feeling the pain contrast through her limbs
as she made a kick toward where the flicker of light had been. Again her attempt met nothing but
air but before her foot could be returned to the ground she felt something grab her foot and pull
her whole body upside down. Hanging now in the darkness made her feel very disorianted and
just as irritated. "Quit playing these games!" Haurka yelled out as she thrashed trying to get her
ankle free from whatever kept her suspended upside down in air.
Rei thought the tunnel or slide or whatever it was would never end before she fell
onto the cold ground that looked like it was stone or something, infact the walls looked about the
same. "Where am I? What's going on?" Rei mumbled to herself as she dusted herself off and
started to walk. "I hope Haurka is doing ok where she is." Rei said as she rubbed her hands over
her arms. "I'm sure she's got plenty to do where she is." Came a oddly familure yet twisted reply.
"Who's there?" Rei looked around as she heard a slight chime and the scent of flowers fill the gray
stone room. "Now now don't say you forgot about me already? " Rain walked out of the shadows,
she seemed extremly paler, her red hair no longer pulled up but now twirled down framing her
face, her outfit was a mixture of black and red made into a lace dress where the skirt was red
trimmed with black lace and a bodice that was also black. Her shoes where the same however
and her face was twisted with the oddest and chilling gleeful smile set off by the red eye shadow
and the black triangle shaped black design under her eyes. "I told you I'd make it the quick tour,
so now we can conclude our tour and you can come back with me peacefully Fire Maiden." "Fire
Maiden? I'm not going anywhere , what have you done with Haurka!" Rei looked at Rain who
seemed to shake her head giving a twirl and a chuckle. "Oh that other girl, I sent her on a history
lesson, history is a bit of ours, the lesson...no to get in the way you just might...die..." Rain began
to laugh in enjoyment of her little joke as Rei balled her hands up into fists before reaching into her
pocket and pulling out her transformation pen. "nuh uh..." Rain grinned as she moved her hand out
and a swirl of petals came and knocked the pen out of Rei's hand as Rei gave a shocked and
painful screetch holding her hand. "Now if you don't come along quietly I'll make your little friends
death alot more...suffering provoked. " Rain's malicious grin now seemed to take over her features
as she began to advance on Rei.
Haurka seemed to just sway as she struggled until she remembered her space sword,
making it materialze she curled her body upwards and when she finally got close enough cut herself
free which when she landed with a very uncomfortable thud she stood up. "World Shaking!" She
screamed and the blast from her attack lightened up the whole room and made a small hole in the
wall where light continued to shine through. Uranus stood dumbfounded for a momment when she
discovered the fall/forest she had been in now turned into a gray stone room. "What the hell is
wrong with this place! " Uranus exclaimed before running through the hole in the wall. Whatever
was wrong she still had a job to do and to do that job she would first have to find out where they
were keeping Rei. Uranus ran down the long hallway that at first was just one clear stright shot that
was until the long hall turned into a maze of five different choices of which one to take every few
feet. Finally she stopped to catch her breath but it seemed like time had no meaning in this place in
fact she couldn't even figure out how long it had been since she had last seen Rei before they both
fell into different parts of this messed up museum.
Rei slammed into the wall from the force of another of Rain's attacks though she got
up a bit more wobbly then the last twenty times she had been slammed into something. The room
hadwarped and changed now being some odd Fall forest, Rei tried to catch her breath before
sherantoward the transformation pen and dove toward it, just inches from capturing it in her hand
she metwith another blast that made her body skid away from the floor only inches away from her
goal .Rain giggled as she walked toward Rei. "Your pretty tough I'll give ya that not even one
complaint about being tossed around like a rag doll. I'm afraid though our fun and games have
gotta come toan end because ya know I can't wait to show off my latest find to Lord Deamon."
"Deamon?" Rei echo'd her last words, everything was hazy this time as she slowly tried to force
herself up she saw something out of the corner of her eye and then heard the voice "World
Shaking!" Rain had leapt out of the way inches from Uranus attack. "I thought I'd taken care of
you!" Rain's shocked voice screetched. "Well you didn't do a very good job of it." Uranus said as
she kicked the pen toward Rei who grabbed it finally getting herself to stand up the rest of the
way. "Mars Crystal power! Make up!" Rei yelled as her form transfered into Sailor Mars. "Awww
you two don't play fair!" Rain for a second like a child threw a fit before she sniffled and grinned
evily. "Okay I can see when I'm beat but Fire Maiden tell me? Can you save your friend before
their time is up?" "What are you talking about?" Mars said before Rain laughed and seemed to
disapear in a swirl of flower petals the museum began to shake beneath their feet as the ground
opened up under Uranus and she fell landing on sand? "Now what!" Uranus said before she felt
everything shift and she suddenly fell again only this time sand was pouring down on top of her.
"It's a giant hour glass!" Mars said as she she looked around for something to break the glass with.
(Herself not being in the hour glass) "I suppose she thinks this is real funny to" Uranus said as she
tried to wade through the sand hitting the glass with the end of her space sword. "Maybe if we
both hit it in the same spot with our powers." Mars said stepping back a few more inches. "It's
worth a shot, better then being buried in this sand trap." Uranus spoke. "Mars
Flame...World...Sniper! Shaking!" Both attacks knocked into a spot on the hour glass as a small
crack ran up the hour glass and began spidering outwards. They both watched as the sound of
glass cracking continued until suddenly the pressure of the sand and the glass not being able to
hold it any longer gave out. Uranus crouched down sheilding herself from glass and inevitably sand
that poured down and covered the room they were in. Mars had done the same thing and when it
was over they both unburied themselves and made their way out of the museum.
