'Here it comes…this unwanted feeling. This has been far enough. It has to be stop. But we are too slow. It's time for me to make a move'

"Got it!" Ami said with excitement. She grabbed the computer and ran out of the arcade with Usagi and Luna behind her. They dodged into an alley when they've made sure no one's looking.
"It's going to be in the forest near the school." Ami said "Let's transform and rush over there!" she suggested.
They transformed and Usagi picked Luna up and leap towards the school. It took them about thirty seconds to reach their destination. They scanned or rather Mercury scanned the area through her computer.
"That way" Mercury ran the moment she got the result toward the area that emitted negative power. A distressed cry confirmed the position. They saw the kidnapper from a distant.
What they saw was a dark and scary looking portal wide opened and struggling on the ground was a girl in a school uniform was being pulled into it by uncountable pieces of white strings. She desperately clawed at the ground, crying desperately for help. They wouldn't be able to reach her in time. They need to think of something and fast!
"Moon Tiara Boomerang!" Sailor Moon reacted without hesitation, cutting the strings.
They took another leap to close the distance between them and landed in front of the girl. Mercury pulled the girl and brought her out of harm's way. The portal closed and their surrounding became silent. But still they didn't dare relax until Mercury said,
"It's gone" Mercury ran the scan again to be sure and nodded to Sailor Moon to confirm the portal was gone.
"That's it?" Sailor Moon asked with slight disbelief but then she gave a relieved sigh, grateful that nothing serious had happen this time. They have successfully foiled the enemy's plan and saved the victim.
They turned to the girl to check on her. She had a few scratches from struggling otherwise she is unharmed physically. Mercury attended to her wounds while Sailor Moon did the talking.
"How are you feeling?" She stared cautiously since it is quite obvious that the girl was traumatised.
The girl was experiencing aftershock, lifted her face weakly and looked at Sailor Moon with watery eyes. Sailor Moon felt compassion for the girl and gave her a gentle smile. She sat down and comforted her.
'Sigh!' Usagi sighed. 'At least we manage to save the victim this time'
"What's wrong, honey?" Ikuko asked worriedly. It was bad enough that her oldest daughter seem to have fallen ill again. Now her younger daughter seems stressed. Usagi did not even respond to Shingo's taunting as usual.
"I'm okay" Usagi said with a forced smile which didn't make the situation better. Usagi looked around the table and did a head count. Someone's missing. "Where's Ka-chan?" She asked, bolted to sit up straight.
"Your sister's in her room" Ikuko replied and then asked, "Usagi, do you know what's wrong with your sister these days? She seemed tired."
Usagi shook her head sadly and guiltily but said nothing because lately they didn't share a lot like they used to. She finished her dinner and excused herself from the table.
She collected and put the dishes in the sink and went straight in to her room. It was then she felt a strong yet gentle vibe. It was warm but it feels safe. It felt like waves as she felt it over and over again. Luna was all perked up. Obviously, the cat guardian has felt it too.
