****** Restored, Part 1 ******

Usagi lay on the shore of the cave unconscious. She
was not well. No one really knew what was wrong with
Usagi. Usagi was so fatigued that she bothered not to
talk to Jeremiah Jack at all. The next morning, Rei, Ami,
Makoto, ChibiUsa, Haruka, and Michiru came to the place
where where they brought back Usagi the day before. That
morning, Rei called for Usagi. However, Usagi did not come.
Hours passed and Usagi still did not show up. Rei thought
it was strange that Usagi did not show up.

"Where's Usagi-Chan? Why didn't she show up?"

Makoto wondered.

"I don't know. Something is wrong. I know it."

Rei spoke with great worry.

"What will we do?"

Haruka asked.

"Usagi-Chan must be in trouble some how. We got to locate her
and help her."

Rei spoke in a desperate tone.

"We need to find her. Ami suddenly announced.

"There's no way of knowing what state Usagi-San is in."

Michiru stated.

"We got to go find her! Which way did Usagi come when she
came here before?"

Makoto thought out loud.

"Didn't Usagi-San come from the south? Then that's a good
place to start looking right?"

Haruka suggested.

"You must find Usagi! If she dies, I will cease to exist!"

ChibiUsa almost protested to the idea of Usagi dying. Everyone
turned towards ChibiUsa. Rei spoke.

"Don't worry ChibiUsa, we'll find her. Ami and Michiru, since
you two have the power, I think you two should go looking
for her. And take these two items. She'll need them to take
to King Triton, right?"

Rei suggested. Ami and Michiru then ready their transformations.

"Mercury Star Power!"

"Neptune Planet Power!"

Ami and Michiru shouted.

"MAKE UP!"

Ami and Michiru yelled together in unison and Ami and Michiru
transformed into Sailor Mercury and Sailor Neptune. Ami grabbed
the weapon of the Shark King and Neptune grabbed the bag that held
the Shark King's ugly head. Both Mercury and Neptune dove in the
water. Mercury activated her visor and began to look for Usagi's
energy signature that her brooch always let off. Mercury and
Neptune search for a few minutes and then Mercury noticed a cave4
about a mile south to where the others were. Mercury motioned for
Neptune to follow her inside in the cave. They saw Usagi lying
unconscious on the floor and saw the hermit by the fire.

Mercury and Neptune looked at Jeremiah Jack and Mercury spoke.

"You must be that hermit Usagi told us about. How long has Usagi
been like this?"

Mercury asked.

"She has been that way ever since she arrived. She barely spoke to
me and then she fainted not to awake again."

Jeremiah Jack replied giving all the info that he had. Neptune had
turned to Mercury. Mercury used her mini computer to see what Usagi's
state was in.

"How is she Mercury?"

Neptune asked as Mercury scanned Usagi's body. Then Mercury replied.

"This is bad! There is a dark energy signature all over her body. It
must have been caused by the Shark King when he turned Tokyo into darkness
and force Usagi to face him in the darkness. She needs help and quick!"

Mercury reported.

"But whom?"

Neptune wondered. Usagi suddenly woke up and spoke in a weak tone.

"King Triton... the King of the Mermaid Kingdom..."

Usagi barely spoke.

"How do we get there?"

Mercury questioned.

"The device you made for me... say... mermaid teleport... and you...
will be teleported... there..."

Usagi answered in a broken speech and she fainted again. Mercury and
Neptune held on to Usagi and Mercury touched the device she made for
Usagi and she spoke.

"Mermaid Teleport!"

Mercury shouted and her, Neptune, and Usagi was teleported in an instant
to the mermaid kingdom to the throne room of King Triton. Mercury, Usagi,
and Neptune appeared and King Triton looked amazed and he spoke.

"Well, Vanessa, your predictions came true again. What in blazes happened
to her?"

King Triton asked concerning Usagi.

"Allow us to introduce ourselves, I am Sailor Mercury. I
am one of the inner Senshi."

Mercury introduced herself.

"I am Sailor Neptune. I am one of the Outer Senshi. We are both Guardians
of the Moon Princess."

Neptune announced. Then Mercury spoke again.

"Usagi was forced to face the Shark King in darkness in which he cast upon
Tokyo, however, Usagi did defeat the Shark King, but it seems there is dark
energy all over Usagi's body and we have no cure for her."

Mercury reported.

"I see. Maybe Elsie can help. Please, go fetch Elsie at once!"

King Triton told one of his warriors. Then Mercury spoke again.

"Sire, here is the items that Usagi obtained after defeating the
Shark King."

Mercury answered the king. Elsie suddenly came out of nowhere and came
up to Usagi. She noticed the dark energy all over Usagi. Mercury and
Neptune couldn't see what Elsie saw.

"Bring her to my sick bay! Quickly!"

Neptune and Mercury carefully picked up Usagi leaving the items for
King Triton and they followed Elsie to a large room with all types of
strange objects.

"Lay her on the bed."

Elsie commanded. Mercury and Neptune carefully lay Usagi on the bed.

"Then we will leave her into your hands."

Mercury told Elsie.

"Usagi-Chan, be strong! I know you will recover! I know it!"

Mercury spoke to Usagi and her and Neptune went back to King
Triton.

"We can't stay here, however, I will give you my communicator so
you can keep us informed on Usagi's progress."

Mercury told the king as she gave her communicator to the king and
King Triton used his staff and teleported them back to where the
others was in Tokyo. King Triton went to Else and went to see how
Elsie's patient was doing.

"Elsie, how is she? Have you found a solution to help her?"

King Triton asked.

"This is bad! The dark energy was the Shark King's doing. She will
need my strongest potion I have, however Usagi must be awake for
me to administer it to her."

Elsie reported.

"That potion is not meant for humans!"

The King protested.

"Usagi isn't a human! She was turned into a mermaid. She will be able
to handle the potion, however, it will take many doses to undo the
spell put on her."

Elsie reported.

"I see."

The King answered.

"However, I need Usagi awake to administer the potion."

Elsie replied. Elsie brought something from a canister that smelled
really bad and she brought it under Usagi's nose and continued until
Usagi woke up.

"Good, you woke up! I need you to listen to me. Your body has dark
energy that needs to be expelled. The only way is for you to recover
is you must drink this potion. I must warn you, it is bitter and will
not taste very good. However it will start to work on you. However,
there will be some slight side effects, however it is important that
you take that potion."

Elsie told Usagi. Elsie uncorked the potion and brought it to Usagi.

"Now, drink. It will taste bitter. However, you will feel better soon."

Elsie told Usagi as she brought the bottle to Usagi. Usagi had no
choice but to drink the potion. Usagi took a bit of the potion in
and spoke.

"YUCK... THIS IS WORSE THAN MINAKO'S COOKING!"

Usagi spoke in a broken weak tone.

"You must drink it all, Usagi. I know it's awful. However, if
you drink it, you will feel better soon. I promise."

Elsie encouraged Usagi to drink the rest of the potion. Usagi
finished drinking the rest of the potion and Elsie put the empty
bottle on the table and spoke again.

"Usagi, although you will be healed by the potion, you need many
more doses of this potion. You'll get used to the bad taste of it.
However, the potion will cause you to sleep. So, please allow
me to take care of you."

Elsie told Usagi. Usagi looked at Elsie. The medicine that Usagi
took effect very quickly and Usagi's eye lids began to feel very
heavy and soon Usagi fell asleep. Elsie turned to King Triton.

"Leave her to me. She will receive the best treatment that I can
give her."

Elsie told the King.

"I'll leave her into her hands. Keep me updated on her progress."

The King commanded.

"Yes sire."

Elsie answered. The king left Elsie to tend to Usagi. Usagi was
asleep and now in good hands. It would take time for Usagi to recover.
