CHAPTER...nine

Mina was lying down on an examination table wearing a hospital gown. She kept staring at the light above her. "Am I doing the right thing."she thought Miranda walked up to her. "Okay Miss Aino, we're about to give you the first treatment for those enhancers and we gotta put you under for a little bit okay?"

Mina just nodded as the anesthetic was given to her. She could feel herself drift off.

She found herself standing in complete darkness. "Where am I?" she thought. She started to run but it felt like she was going nowhere. Suddenly she saw three figures in front of her. "Who are you?" she demanded. The first figure walked up. "I am Sailor V." the second figure then walked up. "I am Sailor Venus." the final figure walked up."And I am Mina Aino." Mina just stood there in shock. "This is not possible."

"But it is, each one of us is a part of you." Sailor V answered. "And we want to know why you are betraying Serena and the others." Sailor Venus said. "Because I'm a better Sailor Scouts than those other four combined." Mina told her.

"You should never compare yourself with the others, especially Princess Serena." Sailor Venus said. "Doesn't it bother you that it's her that's always getting all the attention." Mina responded.

"It does not." the other Mina said. "If you're not careful you could end up on the dark path." Mina just shook her head. "This is my one chance to become the ultimate heroine...and I'm taking it." She closes her eyes and starts to concentrate.

The three versions of herself start to vanish. "You may suppress us Mina...but we will always be a part of you." Sailor V said. And with that...they vanished.

Lita's phone rang. "Hello?" She answered

"Hey Lita, it's me Serena."

Lita gave a small but worried smile. "Hey there Serena, are you okay?"

"I'm still hurt a little bit...but I'm feeling better, look Luna wanted us to meet at the temple, she wants talk to us about Mina." Lita was quiet for a few seconds. I understand, I'll see you there." Lita hung up.

Some time later the four friends as well as Darien and Luna were at the temple. "Hey Luna, isn't Artemis coming." Luna looked at the ground. "No, he's out looking for Mina."

"What do you mean looking for Mina?" Serena asked. Luna started at them. "Mina hasn't been home since the incident with the bus."

"She ran way?...good." Raye said as she crossed her arms. Serena turned to her friend. "Raye, please don't judge her."

"DON'T JUDGE HER, SHE TRIED TO KILL YOU!" Serena thought back to that moment when Venus used her Crescent Beam on her. "She is not herself right now, we must give her time."

Luna shook her head. "It's a little too late for that Serena, remember what I told you." Serena lowered her head. "Yes I know." Luna turned to everyone. "Now like I told Serena, Mina is now an enemy, if she attacked her she probably won't hesitate to attack one of you." Lita cracked her knuckles. "I'd sure like to see her try." Serena just stared at her. "Yeah, if she tries anything with me I'm gonna burn her into the ground." Raye added, which got a sad look from Serena.

"Guys, be careful what your saying." Amy said as she saw Serena. Raye and Lita felt foolish. "I'm sorry Serena, but it has to be this way. "Raye said. "And we must acdept that Mina may no longer be a friend anymore." Lita added. Serena looked down. "But..." Darein grabbed her shoulder. "Serena, we will all be here for you, and I know that there is still good in her too." The others just stare at him.

"I used to be on the dark side remember." he said. "But you were brainwashed." Raye added. "And even then Serena never gave up on me." he smiled. "So you can't give up on her understand." Serena smiled at him. "Thank you Darein." Serena said.

Mina awoke. She found herself hooked up to some monitors. a nurse was standing near her. "Tell Miss Miranda that she's awake." Mina looked around. She felt strange. Miranda walked in. "So Miss Aino, how are we doing. "I feel...funky." Miranda just laughed. "I see, well, you'll be happy to know that you now have super strength."

"Really?" she said with a smile. She looked around and saw a filing cabinet in a corner. She quickly got up, unhooked the wires attached to her, and went to the filing cabinet. "Here it goes." She grabbed the bottom of the cabinet and picked it up with ease.

"And this is only when you're not transformed." Miranda told her. Mina could feel the strength surge inside her. She didn't care if she was doing the right thing anymore. "I want her..." she threw the cabinet across the room. "I WANT SAILOR MOON!"
