I don't want to keep everyone waiting after all. Okay that sounded cocky...Anyway thanks for reviewing this story so far. I hope you'll enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 14: The mysterious play
Who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows, only time
''So be it!'' Hattori screamed before creating another black ball of energy which obviously was directed at the inner senshi and Usagi. He was sick and tired of these girls and all their hopes and stupid talks about love, hope and faith. It was all pointless. He could still remember how Haruka and Makoto had beaten him a while back when they found out 'Mamoru' had cheated on Usagi. All the pain they had caused, he could've killed them that moment, that day but he hadn't.
He needed all the senshi to be gathered together. If he wanted to take revenge on the white moon princess and her guardians he had to take them all at once. The only one who was missing now was Sailor Saturn but that didn't matter. Without the other sailor senshi it would be easy to deal with the senshi of Saturn.
While Hattori was busy thinking of the perfect way to end the lives of the eight heriones, the senshi had other things on their mind. Like, how could they escape this horrible fate? They had faced tougher enemies than Hattori, then why was it so hard to think of a way to escape him? Usagi noticed that the black ball of energy Hattori was holding was growing and also knew they didn't have much time, they had to think of a way to beat him before it was too late.
And who can say if you love grows,
As your heart chose, only time
But just when she was about to see if any of the others had a plan Hattori released the ball of energy he was holding. All the inner senshi knew there was nothing they could do. If they'd jump away to avoid the ball of energy it would hit the unconscious peoplebehind them and after all it was still their mission to protect this world, no matter what. Usagi, as well as the others, pressed their eyes shut, waiting for the black energy ball to hit them. on thei back ground they could hear Michiru scream that they had to duck away but they knew that even if that was the best thing to do, it was too late now.
For a moment the whole room was filled with a yellow light that had appeared the moment that the ball of energy hit the inner senshi. At first Michiru assumed it was the light that always appeared when Usagi was transforming into Serenity but the evil aura that hung around the lights told her likewise. This light had to be the effect of the energy wave Hattori had released on them.
Then, silence.
Michiru blinked with her eyes as the light suddenly vanished and when she looked up she saw that not only the light had vanished but also the inner senshi who had been standing in the middle of the ball room just a few seconds ago.''W-what...'' Was all she could stammer before Hattori turned around to face her and the two other unconscious senshi.
Who can say why your heart sights,
As your live flies, only time
''You'll find out soon enough pretty lady. You'll follow their footsteps, wheter you like it or not.'' The demon yelled as he created another black ball of energy.''A world without sailor senshi is the same as a world without cops and a lot of thugs. And since I know killing you won't do me any good, I decided to send you all...''
''To another universum...'' Michiru finished for him, holding Uranus' hand tightly in hers, closing her eyes. All she could hear now was the laughs of Hattori before she felt that something had washed over her. It didn't feel calming but it didn't feel painful either, it was more in between.

When Michiru opened her eyes again and looked around she noticed she was no longer in the huge ball room. Instead of that she was sitting on a huge field, surrounded by nothing but trees, flowers and a huge waterfall.''Impossible...'' She whispered, looking down at her hand. Haruka wasn't with her anymore nor were Setsuna or any of the other senshi. She was alone now, she had to escape this world alone...
''Michiru...'' A voice suddenly said, causing the aqua haired girl to jump and turn around. She calmed down again when she saw Usagi stand in front of her, with a sad look on her face.''Are we...''
''No we're still alive.'' Michiru interrupted the blonde princess.''Hattori send us to a parallel universum, we have to escape but it seems it's just you and me this time princess. I think, well actually, i'm pretty sure that we got split up in order to weaken us up.''
''You mean that the others are somewhere in this place as well? Wow this reminds me of our fight against Nehelenia, do you remember Michiru?'' Usagi asked, earning a nod in reply.
''Yeah I remember, I got stuck with Sailor Mars, I think Hattori is actually using the idea's from our former rivals. Only his plan seems to be a bit different.''
''Different?'' Usagi asked.
Michiru nodded.''Yes, as you see, he's not attacking us which means that he isn't after fighting against us, he wants to keep us trapped in this world forever so he can take over our world, earth.''
''That's terrible...Ah Michiru behind you!'' Usagi gasped, pointing at a spot behind Michiru. The aqua haired girl quickly turned around but didn't see anything that could be attacking her.
''What is wrong?'' She then asked, turning back to face Usagi.
''I saw something move behind those trees over there...Maybe it are the others, let's go and...'' She was cut off.
''Don't be so naive, maybe I was wrong before and Hattori is indeed after killing us. If it are the other senshi then they would've come here themselfs. We don't know this world yet Usagi, we should be careful, especially since we don't have our powers.'' Usagi thought about it for a moment. The elder senshi did have a good point there but they couldn't just stay put here and do nothing?
''What will we do then?'' Usagi finally asked.
Michiru stayed quiet for a while before answering.''We're going to stay here. After all the portal to our world must be near, how else could we have appeared here?''

And who can say why your heart cries,
When your love lies, only time
Rei looked over at the blonde girl next to her.''Minako, what do you think we should do ah?'' The goddess of love just ignored her. It seems she was too busy with thinking of an answer on that question herself that she didn't hear her raven haired friend.
''Tell me Rei, what are you going to do now?'' Minako suddenly asked. Rei who assumed that Minako meant what she was going to do about getting out of this place just strugged, the look on her face telling the other that she had no idea.''I didn't mean getting out of here.'' Minako said as if she could read Rei's thoughts, sitting down on the grass again.''What I meant is, now the truth about Mamoru is out, will you fight for Usagi's love or are you going to give her up?''
''I'm going to do the only thing I can do Minako.'' Came the reply.
''And that may be?''
Rei took a deep breath, she really didn't feel like talking about this now. Wasn't it more important to escape this place than to discuss her damn love life, then again, there wasn't much left of her love life now.''I'm going to hide my feelings and get over Usagi...'' She finally whispered. It was almost inaudible for Minako but still loud enough for her to hear.
''I can't believe you Rei, you said you loved her. She was willing to give up her whole destiny to be with you. Mamoru, no I mean Hattori just fastened up the process of Usagi breaking up with Mamoru, in my eyes there never has been love between those two anyway. Yes, maybe in a past life but also then there had been a relationship between you and Serenity, no? Don't give up Rei, she loves you.''
''She loves him more.'' The raven haired girl replied.
''How do you know?'' Minako pushed.
''I...'' Rei didn't even got the chance to finish.
''Did she tell you?''
''Well no but...''
''Did you ask her?''
''Ah you see that's...''
Again she got interrupted.''Do you love her?''
''Yes god dammit Minako! I love Usagi but she's destined to be with Mamoru, she's destined to be with that damn rose throwing fake hero of a Tuxedo Kamen while all that damn guy can do is get kipnapped and get silly dreams which are reason enough to break up with the person he loves...''
Minako was speechless after that but a few minutes later a smile appeared on her face.''Now that's exactly how I think about it. So that makes you the better love for our princess, right?''
''I don't know, Mamoru and her are destined to be together...''
''It didn't stop you before.'' The blonde girl stated, standing up again, looking at the trees behind Rei.
''Because I thought Mamoru and Usagi were history...Now I find out that it all had been a lie told by another enemy of ours.''
''But your love for her and her love for you, Rei was that a lie too?'' Minako questioned, her eyes never leaving the trees behind the raven haired girl.
''Ofcourse that wasn't a l...Minako what are you looking at?'' Rei asked when she finally noticed that Minako's attention wasn't fully directed to their conversation.
''Behind those trees, I could've sworn I saw something move. Do you feel something?''
Rei just shook her head.''I haven't felt anything in a long while. I mean, well not when it comes to evil aura's and stuff. I think I got weaker...''
''Bull...you didn't get weaker, you got stronger Rei. You just have to realise it yourself and if you don't feel anything it is because maybe there's nothing there and it's just my imagination.''
Who can say when the roads meet,
That love might be, in your heart?

Usagi by now had already started to walk away from the aqua haired girl who just couldn't drop the subject.''Usagi, hold it right there, don't walk away from me!'' Michiru yelled after the small blonde.''You can't just run from the truth nor your feelings!''
This caused Usagi to stop walking away and turn back to face the older senshi.''I'm not running from my feelings nor the truth, i'm running to them. I'm going to find Rei and then i'll find Mamoru and...'' She stopped at that sentence simply because she couldn't finish it. Michiru raised an eyebrow, waiting for the young princess to continue.
And who can say when the day sleeps,
And the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart…
''And...?'' Michiru repeated, knowing she got Usagi now.
''Fine, I don't know what will happen next but the main thing to do now is find our friends and Mamoru and save them, get out of here and then we will figure things out.'' Usagi said, hanging her head down in the process.''Michiru, you seem so calm...Aren't you worried about Haruka, Setsuna and the others?''
''Ofcourse I am worried.'' The elder girl admitted.''But showing my worries and feelings will just slow me down and work in the advantage of our enemy, that's why I have to stand tall.''
''You showed your feelings to Hattori when he blasted Uranus and Pluto over...'' Usagi whispered, hoping that Michiru wouldn't have heard it. Luckily for her it seemed Michiru really hadn't heard it.
''Let's change plans.'' The aqua haired girl started.''Standing here will get us no where, if i'm correct, this world only has one exit, it has to be at a place where all the parallel worlds come together, if we find that place we can get out of here.''
''But first we have to...''
Michiru cut the smaller girl off.''I know, I know, first we have to find the others and the prince.'' Usagi shivered at that last word before hanging her head down again. What should she do now? Everything had seemed so perfect between her and Rei lately and now the tables got turned again by revealing that the Mamoru she fell out of love with wasn't the Mamoru she had loved in the first place.
Who can say if your love grows, Who knows? Only time
As your heart chose, only time
And who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time
Who knows? Only time
To be continued
So, who do you think Usagi will pick in the end. People who know me in person and from my other fics will know the answer to that question already. I hope you liked this chapter, i'll try to update as soon as possible again!
