Chapter 5: The Hidden Room B
There it was, the bookcase! The sound in the room was the sound of a ticking clock. Haruka began following her ears, Makoto and Mamoru had followed right after to make sure they could help her move the item of furniture in order to get the clock, Ami stood close to Rei and they observed the three following the sound and working together, Setsuna had turned to face Usagi with those sad eyes, Usagi sat down in a chair that was next to the brown desk.
"Do you see it?" Asked Mamoru.
"Yeah, pull the bookcase forward." Haruka answered, brushing her hands off, "I should be able to reach it if you two do that."
The two nodded their heads and began pulling the bookcase away from where it stood. Makoto looked at Haruka who reached in and pulled it out just like that. Once Haruka had sat it down on the table, Rei had looked at each of her fellow Guardians and friends.
"Remember, what we see in these memories are lies." She paused, "Once you see it, don't continue to think about it."
The others gave a slight nod of her head as Mamoru prepared himself to break the ticking clock. He looked at everyone once more before he turned his dark blue eyes to stare at the clock.
"Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber!" He yelled as his fist landed on the glass shattering the clock almost instantly.
Rei had braced herself for whatever memory she would experience.
Usagi had been traveling around the house, desperately trying to find her friends. She had been lost all hope that they would still be alive and it was her fault that they were gone from this world. She had not forgive herself for bringing them all here in the first place and now that thing was satisfied with all the blood and killing that it had done. And it was all thanks to Usagi Tsukino; the girl who all thought to be a crybaby, a bunhead, a failure, and very friendly towards ANYONE she met. But, that wasn't the case here. She had brought all of her loved ones to this place just to meet their demise. If only she had not told Minako about this place . . . but it was too late to take that back now.
Rei had never seen such a sad look on Usagi's face before. This memory made her confused and very clueless. Why did Usagi look that way? Rei felt a dark and saddening feeling deep inside her own heart that she wanted to know what it was. This memory was something Rei couldn't stop thinking about. She wanted to ask Usagi so many questions; but had no idea how do come out and ask her.
When the Guardians had finished their memories, they all looked at each other. Mamoru sighed a little; for he didn't experience having a random memory coming to his head. While the others had been off experiencing their memories, he was exploring the room; he ended up finding a map that had a big circle on it with the words "Venus" and "Neptune" written on the paper.
"That was strange." Paused Ami, "Like it was real . . . like it actually happened."
"I wouldn't worry too much about it, Ami." Makoto stopped, "I didn't even get to see much of what happened in mine."
"I didn't have a memory." Said Mamoru as he held the map in his hand, "So, while you guys were experiencing that; I found this."
Haruka looked at it when he had placed it on the table and the first thing she noticed were the words.
"This'll help us find them." Mamoru added on to what he was saying before.
The others had smiled and looked at the map. Usagi noticed that Rei was being quieter than usual.
"Rei?" She asked.
"Hmm?" Responded Rei.
"Are you okay?"
Rei didn't answer verbally. She gave Usagi a slight nod to answer the question she was asked. The others looked at each other as Mamoru picked up the map.
"We should follow this map and find the other two." Haruka paused, "And maybe we'll be able to make it out of here."
They were all in agreement to follow the map that Mamoru held clenched in his gloved hand. They made it out of the room. Rei still looked troubled from the memory and had been quiet as she followed the others.
