A/N: Long, crimson hair and green eyes. Now I'm finally going to reveal the mystery character. Not that he should be a mystery cos I definitely introduced him in an earlier chappie. Just loads of people seem to be having trouble figuring out who it is…well here you go! NOW tell me if it rings a bell! Reviews are appreciated!

Also, I'm going to turn this story into a series called the Everybody Hates the Senshi series, and the story I'm going to write after this is going to be called Everybody Hates Jupiter. There's going to be one story based around each senshi, but they won't be posted until this one's finished. Just warning you in advance!

Hope you enjoy the next chapter!

"Not so fast."

The voice came from neither Uranus nor Neptune. Pluto gasped and turned around to see a young man with long, crimson hair and green eyes.

"Jasper," whispered Sailor Pluto.

"Yes," replied Jasper. "It is I. And I have no intention to let you get through the door."

"Wow, it took us several lifetimes to figure that out," retorted Uranus.

"Anyhow," said Jasper, "Let's not waste any time." With that, he held his hand out and sent an incredible amount of negative energy at the three outer senshi. They flew back and landed with a loud thud. It took a few moments for Pluto's brain to register what had just happened, but once her sensed had caught up with her, she sat up groaning.

"I hate you," she growled, her blood boiling and anger rushing through her veins. This was deemed to be odd, considering she was usually rather calm and serene. Barely anyone, save Uranus and Neptune, had ever seen her angry. Now her garnet eyes appeared to be flashing, and her expression was that of an angry lion. "I hate you! DEAD SCREAM!"

She didn't so much whisper as bellow the attack. To Pluto's immense astonishment it came out three times bigger than the usual weak attacks she'd so become accustomed to. But still, it had no effect, except to leave Pluto exhausted, for Jasper quickly put up a negative barrier around himself. Pluto dropped to her knees weakly.

"I hate you…"

"What are we going to do?" said Neptune. "It's clear that our normal attacks, no matter how strong, aren't going to work." All three of the outer senshi looked helpless.

"In that case," said Jasper, "maybe I should just finish you off." Saying this he sent another beam of negative energy, and the outers found themselves face-flat on the floor again.

Please help us, thought Pluto. If anyone is out there listening, please help us.

Another beam of energy.

Please let us save Hotaru, thought Neptune.

Another beam of energy.

She's just a child, please spare her life, thought Uranus.

Another beam of energy.

Only this time it wasn't negative.

It started off as a spark of light, a white light which began to grow. It grew bigger and brighter and as the outer senshi stared at it in amazement, it surrounded them in a protective circle of magic. They felt their tiaras dissolve and their respective symbols appear on their foreheads instead.

"Uranus planet power!"

"Neptune planet power!"

"Pluto planet power!"

Uranus glowed yellow; Neptune glowed turquoise; Pluto glowed purple. They joined hands and felt the words spill over their lips.

"OUTER PLANET ATTACK!"

The overwhelming energy emitted from the outer senshi combined and became an incredulous ball of bright, positive energy which sailed towards Jasper, easily penetrating his negative shield. For a moment everything was to bright to see what was happening, but then everything dimmed. All that was left in Jasper's place was dust.

Pluto was exhausted but refused to let tiredness get the better of her. Using the remains of her strength she forced the double doors open and signalled for the others to follow her. In the new – room, one could call it – there was nothing but a cage dangling from a chain connected to the ceiling, and inside the cage was –

"Hotaru!" Pluto ran over to the cage in which was slumped the unconscious girl. "How do we open the cage?" Uranus and Neptune had no answer so Pluto resorted to do the only thing possible: she sent a very weak dead scream at the lock.

Then, tired from all her effort, she slipped into the depths of unconsciousness.
