Chapter 13: Together Through the Darkness Part 2
It was the nighttime, the moon and stars were out, and Rei Hino stood outside
the airport parking lot, just wondering why she was spoiling such a good night by going after
troublesome villains. She scanned the area, only to see sleeping guards and no signs of Jedeite at
all. After his message in the sky last night, Rei deserved to see him show up.
Ami was right beside her, computer out and running. Her fingers moved fast over the
tiny keys, with slews of maps appearing on the screen every second. Luna was perched on her
shoulder, scanning the area as well with her cat eyes. "So far, I can't find him," Ami said, still
typing, "But I don't think he's far away."
"Come out, come out, wherever you are," Rei whispered the old and familiar chant of
hide-and-seek, bracing herself just in case the blond headed general decided to ambush them. The
transformation stick was in her hand, waiting to be used at any moment. Still, there was silence,
not even the sound of an incoming airplane at the Haneda airport, which was very weird.
Then the two girls heard movement. One by one, the fallen guards rose up from their
sleeping forms and stood up. 'I knew something was up,' Rei thought as the guards walked to
them. She kicked the first one that came her way, while Ami struggled with another one. Luna
helped out by biting his leg, and then leading Ami a few steps back away from the fight. Two
more charged at Rei, almost overpowering her before she punched them and backed away.
"Rei, we have to transform!," Ami shouted at her partner.
Rei backed away a couple more steps and held up her hand.
"Mars Power, Makeup!!!"
"Mercury Power, Makeup!!!"
Mars now braced her hands together for her attack and shouted, "Fire Soul!!!" The fire
came out of her hands and burned all the guards, which caused them to vanish.
"They weren't real," Mercury said with relief, having taken out her computer again.
Suddenly, an evil laughter broke through the night, causing both Mars and Mercury to
look up. Perched on a low roof of the airport stood Jedeite, amused and pleased. "Of course they
weren't. They were only decoys so I could see who you really were. And I was right." He laughed
some more, clearly enjoying this. "But don't worry. It won't matter once I kill you." Jedeite
waved his hand in a circle.
"I can hear engines starting," Mercury said.
Mars silently cursed. "How convenient that we're standing on the runway. Maybe if I
'Fire Soul' it..."
"No," the almost forgotten Luna hissed. "You destroy an airplane, and you spend your
entire life paying for it."
Mercury shook her head. "Then I say we try to run." At that, the two senshi and cat ran
from the giant airplane cruising towards them.
*****
"It's this hall up there!," Neptune shouted to Uranus, who was running up ahead with
Pluto. "Bear left!"
The small group did as she said, turning left and racing into the very first to their right.
Neptune hurriedly closed the door when they were all inside, and locked it from the inside.
"So this is the room where that bastard sends all his messages," Uranus said, walking
around and surveying the room. She flipped a small switch by the large screen, and in an instant,
the lights came on. For a second, she was temporarily blind, and then her eyes quickly adjusted.
Pluto helped Neptune direct the transmission to their target and then she pressed a large
red button. The three looked at each other for a second, and then waited to see what would come
of their efforts.
*****
In the present time, however, Michiru and Haruka were watching from a window as the
strange car sped away. Both were holding their transformation sticks, a little scared and frighted.
They turned away from the window as the last fumes of the car disappeared, and sat down on the
couch.
"It still seems wrong," Michiru said, staring of into the distance. "I wish she hadn't
come."
"But it is our duty," Haruka answered. "There is no escaping it." She paused a minute,
letting her eyes dart down to the glowing light radiating from inside Michiru's body. Haruka rose
in shock.
"What's wrong!," Michiru asked, eyes now on Haruka.
Haruka's hand trembled as she pointed it at Michiru's chest, saying, "Your chest is
glowing!"
Michiru gasped as a bright light wrapped around her, piercing her chest and rustling her
hair. Suddenly, it stopped and left an elegant mirror in her hands with the sign of Neptune. The
screen flickered wildly until it cleared to a picture of another woman, who looked like a slightly
older replica of herself. "Neptune!," it shouted, "Can you hear me?"
"Yes," Michiru stammered, shaking the mirror as she spoke.
"Good," another voice said, which belonged to someone that looked just like Haruka.
"You should not listen to Setsuna. You can't!"
"Why not?," Haruka asked.
A third voice joined the party, though you couldn't see the face. "Because if you do, the
future will fall faster into ruins than it already has. Setsuna does not see this because the future is
clouded, and she is confused, trying to fix it as much as she can. But the hope of fixing it does
not lie in her. It ultimately depends on three people."
"Who? Which people?," Michiru asked, very confused.
"One is a little girl with a mission, another a girl with an unstable destiny, and the other is
a man with a confused heart. Find them and protect them, for they are in great danger."
Just then, a great deal of commotion could be heard from the other side of the
transmission. It sounded as if the other two were trying to fight something off, but were not
succeeding. "Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. How interesting to see you out of your cells," a
different, more evil sounding voice said. In just a few seconds, the transmission was cut, and
Michiru could not see a thing but her reflection in the mirror.
Both looked at each other, trembling. "What should we do?," Michiru asked, clutching
the mirror to her chest like a child's teddy bear.
"I guess we go against Setsuna, if we can," Haruka answered.
*****
There were no more places to run. Mercury, Mars, and Luna were at the end of the
runway, staring down at the water as it lashed at the dock.
"Ha ha, this is so grand," Jedeite smirked as he appeared behind them. "Queen Beryl will
forget all of my past crimes for this. The planes are coming for you, and there's no place to run."
"I wouldn't be gloating if I were you," a voice said above Jedeite, causing him to turn
around in panic. Five figures were atop of the airport's roof, with the wind wrapping their hair
around them.
"That's right," another voice said. "Star Serious Laser!!!!"
The attack was just enough distraction for Mars to whip out her anti-evil sign and chant
the words needed to activate it. With that, the airplanes started to surround Jedeite, keeping him
trapped from escape.
"Now we can get rid of you," Mars said in fighting stance.
Jedeite backed away slightly, frightened now by the seven senshi around him. In his fear,
he teleported away and the planes came to a halt.
"Glad that's over," Luna sighed.
Mercury looked up to thank their allies once again, but they were mysteriously gone, just
like every battle they had helped on. She shook her head and looked at Mars. "Let's go home."
Mars nodded and the two detransformed and walked away like nothing had happened.
