Disclaimer: I don't own Sailormoon
A/N: Really appreciate the reviews. I'm soo happy people are liking the story. So lets continue.
"Your threat means nothing to me. Even if I can't destroy you now, I will not lose to you pathetic lot," Esmeraude exclaimed as she threw dark energy straight at the group.
Jupiter and Mars jumped in front of Tuxedo-Kamen. Both screamed their respective attack to intercept Esmeraude's. As the combined attack was able to break through Esmeraude's, she teleported and reappeared up in the sky.
"Give it up Esmeraude. You're out numbered with no advantages," Mars declared.
"We may be weakened like you said, but you're not in the best of shape either," Venus put in.
"That's where you're wrong," Esmeraude said with a crazy look on her face, "Your greater numbers mean nothing. Let me show you how big of an advantage I can gain."
At that, Esmeraude shot four pieces of dark crystal shards which landed around the group to surround them in a square. Suddenly sparks erupted from each shard until a dark barrier completely surrounded them.
"I'm going to make it so all of you will not have time to recover and where my powers will increase," Esmeraude said as darkness descended on the group.
Unnoticed by Esmeruade, there was a white glow surrounding the group inside the dark barrier.

"Sailor Moon, are you okay," Chibi-usa asked.
"You shouldn't have used the Ginzuisho while you were still weak," Mars said as she supported Sailor Moon.
"It's better than letting Esmeraude take us to who knows where. Besides I'll be fine," Sailor Moon said smiling at the senshis to reassure them, "Anyway I think it's more important to figure out where we are right now."
Looking around, the group can only see fog and no sign of building or any living thing. "I know where we are," Chibi-usa said suddenly, "I'm pretty sure we're close to the Time Gate."
Everyone looked at Chibi-usa with a surprised looking expression. "What do you mean Time Gate," Luna asked.
"It's how I got to your time. You guys have to trust me right now...I can lead you guys to the Time Gate and Puu can help explain where we are," Chibi-usa said as she took out a key which was giving off a glow.
"Of course we trust you," Sailor Moon said as she smiled kindly at the little girl.
The other senshis voiced their agreement. "We don't doubt your trust," Tuxedo-Kamen said.
Chibi-usa felt very happy knowing she had their complete trust. She clutched onto the key and began leading the way.

"Argh, how did those pesky senshis escape," Esmeraude exclaimed as she arrived in the Dark Crystal Palace in Crystal Tokyo.
'No matter, that little brat is probably going to bring the senshis to Crystal Tokyo now that they are near the Time Gate to save her mother,' upon thinking of Neo-Queen Serenity, Esmeraude's mood turned darker, 'I will get rid of Serenity once they arrive here.'
"Esmeraude what are you doing back here," a figure said as he stepped out, "I thought my brother gave you a mission in the past."
"I do not need to answer to you Saphr," Esmeraude said coolly, "besides the senshis are heading here anyway."
"I'm guessing that would be your handy work...you know it's not wise to disobey my brother's order," Saphir said as he narrowed his eyes, "a word of caution: whatever you're planning, you better make sure it will not displease my brother or you'll not live for much longer."
Esmeraude watched as Saphir turned and walked out leaving her to reflect on his words.

"I see Small Lady has brought you here," a woman said.
"Puu," Chibi-usa yelled happily as she ran up to the woman giving her a hug.
"You're the senshi of time," Luna said wide eyed, "I never thought I would ever meet you."
"Senshi of time," Jupiter said questioningly.
"Yes, this is Sailor Pluto. Her duty is to guard the Time Gates. I never thought we would actually run into her," Artemis said.
"Were you the one who sent Chibi-usa to our time," Mercury asked.
"Yes because I knew she would be in good hands," Pluto replied, "but that is not important at the moment, rather you should tell me why all of you came to the Time Gate with Small Lady."
"Esmeraude of the Dark Moon clan tried to send us somewhere, but Sailor Moon was able to help us escape her barrier and we ended up here," Venus answered with a serious look on her face.
"Well do you want me to send all of you back to your time," Pluto asked.
Chibi-usa remained quiet the whole time. She was wondering if the senshis will be willing to go to her time to help her mother. Sailor Moon notice Chibi-usa's quietness and her worried looking expression. "Is it possible for you to send us to Chibi-usa's time," Sailor Moon asked surprising everyone.
"Since the Dark Moon clan is from the future, wouldn't it be better if we defeat their base there? Besides, we can also see if the Ginzuisho can really help Chibi-usa's mother," Sailor Moon finished smiling at a shocked looking Chibi-usa.
No one noticed Pluto's hidden smile at Sailor Moon's words. 'I wouldn't have expected anything less from the future Neo-Queen Serenity,' Pluto thought, 'she was always kind and that's a trait she never lost.'
"I agree with Sailor Moon," Mars said as she was the first to come out of her shock, "this way we can end their terror in the future and the present."
After a little convincing from the senshis and Tuxedo-Kamen, the reluctant Luna and Artemis, who had felt they were too unprepared, finally agreed to go along with it. Pluto smiled and said, "I can open the Time Gate for you and once you have arrived, I am sure the King will be expecting all of you."
Before questions could be asked, Pluto held up her hand saying they'll find out soon and opened the Gates allowing the group to go through. Pluto watched as the group disappeared into the Gate. "Good luck my Princess and Prince. There are still many difficulties ahead," Pluto whispered as the Time Gate began to close.
