"STOP IT! STOP IT! GIVE IT BACK!" Sailor Moon thrashed around widely, attempting to free herself from the rubble that held her still, tears flowing down her cheeks, as she was unable to free herself.

O'Chunkten simply turned his upper body slightly, wagging his finger on his free hand, "Sorreh lass, but dis is a Pure Soul, and I'm pretty sure ya know how important these things are."

"But that's my friend! Please!" She spoke as she cried; amazed she even had the strength to talk.

"Makoto…" Sailor Z mumbled under her breath.

O'Chunkten turned to the lifeless shell of Makoto, "Aye, you'll be fine without her. Now then, it's time we be off, eh?"

"NO!" Sailor Moon struggled to free herself, somehow managing an arm out as she started to push herself free.

O'Chunkten let out a hearty laugh at Sailor Moon's attempts; "Yer too late, lass, yer too late," just at that moment, a blue streak flew by his hand, cutting it as he released the Pure Soul in his grip, "WHAT THE!?" A small portion of the Pure Soul slowly made its way back into Mako's body, causing her skin to return to its normal tan color; before any more of the Soul could return into Mako's body O'Chunkten quickly grabbed it. O'Chunkten looked around to see what it was that hit him, spotting a blue rose on the floor nearby. "W-What the…?"

"That's a blue rose…!" Sailor Y gasped.

"That means…!" Sailor X looked around, spotting the one, the only, Masked Crusader at the window.

"Vile villain who would seek to tear out the Pure Soul of an innocent girl...your time is up!" Masked Crusader turned, his cape blowing behind him, "I will not allow those who take the purity of an innocent girl's soul to go unpunished! In the name of justice, I, the Masked Crusader, shall punish you!"

"Masked Crusader!" The Sailor Scouts shouted in unison. Without another word, Masked Crusader threw a rose towards Tuxedo Mask, cutting the rope than bound him; Tuxedo Mask then jumped up beside Masked Crusader, the two now back to back.

"Agh! I don't have time for this!" O'Chunkten groaned.

"No time to accept your punishment?" Crusader asked in a condescending tone.

"How typical of a villain," Tuxedo Mask started, "Always have time for your evil deeds, but no time to accept the consequences that come with them!" Both he and Crusader held their roses up, ready to throw.

"You two REALLY think you can defeat me with…roses…?" O'Chunkten stifled his laughter for a second before bursting into another hearty laugh. Without a word, the two rose throwers threw their roses forward simultaneously; the two roses together had enough power to slice the T-Rex's tail off, causing it to fade into nothing as Mako fell to the floor. "Wah!" The T-Rex roared in pain from its severed tail, "Time to get outta here…!" O'Chunkten then teleported away along with the injured T-Rex.

The girls didn't care about O'Chunkten at the moment, the only thing they cared about was Makoto; they finally managed to free themselves and they rushed over towards Makoto, "Mako-chan?! MAKO-CHAN!" Sailor Moon held Mako tightly in her arms, her tears slowing down slightly.

A few hours later, O'Chunkten returned to Castle Dark, the grinning as wide as he was able to.

"O'Chunkten, you have returned," Dark started, "How did things go?" O'Chunkten didn't respond; he only grinned widely.

"Spit it out!" Mimi yelled, "Geez, you look like an idiot by grinning like that!"

"I agree," Dimentio nodded, "If you have something to say, say it."

O'Chunkten nodded, holding his hand out, the Green Pure Soul floating in his hand, "GUESS WHAT!" Everyone's jaw dropped to the floor.

"I-IS THAT A…!?" Natanasia spoke from pure shock.

"N-NO WAY!" Mimi gasped loudly from shock.

"This is unbelievable!" Dimentio commented.

"You found a Pure Soul…" Dark smirked widely. O'Chunkten grinned, letting the Pure Soul float over to the Count.

"I didn't think you would actually find one…!" Mimi stated.

"And, as an added bonus, I even brought back the T-Rex, but it's kinda injured through…" O'Chunkten stated.

"I can fix that," Nastansia nodded, "But WOW!"

A pleased grin appeared on Dark's lips, "O'Chunkten, you have done an excellent job. My confidence in you is completely restored; you deserve a break."

"Does that mean Dimentio and I can go out now!?" Mimi asked with a huge grin.

"No," Dark stated bluntly, causing Mimi to make a face, "O'Chunkten can take the next day off; besides, I need to do a few things. First, find more targets, and second I need this Pure Soul scanned."

A questioning look appeared on Dimentio's face, "Scanned? This is a real deal, correct?"

Dark nodded, "Yes, but I want to see just what kind of information we can extract from it."

"Count, you can leave that to me," Nastansia chimed in, "It make take a while, but I can promise it will be done as soon as possible."

Dark nodded as he allowed the Pure Soul over to Nastansia, "As for the rest of you, you can relax for the rest of the day, seeing as how we now have 1 of 7 Souls in our hands. I'll let you know when I find a good target."
