Chapter Twenty-One:
I felt my whole body tingle slightly, either from Gohan's last words to me or the fact that Ami and I were back behind enemy lines. I looked around to see if anyone was around, came up empty. The original plan was for me to stall for time why Ami looked for our bodies. Looks like I was going on a man hunt with Ami still looking for our bodies. Ami and I had figured we could communicate like old times but only between the two of us.
Lita?
Her voice whispered through my head.
Yes Ami?
I found them, they look still the same.
She sounded surprise and then confused. I knew how she felt. We had been in a battle before this mess happened. We should have cuts and bruises everywhere.
Where?
G16, looks to be the third door from where I came from and on the right.
I loved how she would clarify things; I smiled and started to head that way. I couldn't seem to find anyone hear, I wasn't going to start yelling though. I found Ami and I saw why it was she was confused. We were still in our transformations. Jupiter lay before me; I had to stop myself from gawking at the stranger. She looked a little like me but something looked different. Like when you try and focus too hard and things get blurry. Picking up my body, which weighed a lot. No wonder most guys could never lift me. It was like trying to lift a million bricks at the same time. Ami picked hers up, struggling though. I sighed, sometimes I wished I could spilt myself in two or better yet, give some of my strength over. I carried my body, bridal style out the room, checking for clear. Ami ended up dragging herself.
"I need to work out. I am going to have a headache by the time we get into our bodies."
She mumbled, I smiled, not allowing any negative thought to fester inside me. We kept on walking to where the others were, I saw Mina. When we reached them, she asked us how we were able to actually touch our bodies.
"I'm not too sure." I answered. How was this all possible?
"Your powers allow you to." A voice answered. Helios, of course, was the owner of the voice. I refrained from eye rolling. And I also refrained from strangle him again.
Carefully placing my body in front of Sailor Moon I turned and did the same with Mercury. Ami and I stood at the head of our bodies. I prayed this would work. That we could finally get into our bodies again.
"Silver crystal power!"
A bright light engulfed us. Tingles were all over my skin, I felt myself being sucked into…maybe my body? I wasn't sure but I hoped it was. Darkness took me.

When I woke up, the first thing I saw was Mina smiling and crying.
"LITA!" she hugged me so tight I actually had trouble breathing.
"Did it work?" I asked. I looked down, this time I wasn't actually transparent. I was real. I pinched my arm to make sure and smiled when I felt the pain. My head whipped around to Ami, she was over the moon. Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars were crying over her. I sighed; I was going to be the bearer of bad news.
"Guys, we have a job to do." I reminded them. I saw Rei flinch. Helping everyone back to their feet we headed for the front entrance. Coming to a complete holt when we heard laughter booming from the door. Not the door, looking up I saw Queen Nehelenia standing on the balcony.
"Come to challenge me White moon?" she asked. Placing her hand under her chin and looking slightly amused.
"What happened to you?" Sailor Moon asked. Great sadness was in her voice, when she looked back up, her eyes must have been sympathy. Nehelenia glared down at her with hatred.
"DON'T GIVE ME THAT PITYFUL LOOK!" She boomed. I knew what was coming next, I ran and shoved Sailor Moon out the way just as something struck me. Pain shot through my entire body, sending me flying. My body connected with a tree, using it to help me regain my feet. My shoulder was in a lot of pain, clutching it; I stumbled my way back to my friends.
"Are you ok?" Sailor Venus asked as I came back to standing beside her. I nodded.
My voice would have given my real answer. I glared at Nehelenia, then remembered she was being brainwashed. I gasped, then where was Wise man? He couldn't be too far away, could he? I kept my eyes searching everywhere, trying to find him. Sailor Moon, tried to talk to Nehelenia. She didn't want to fight her but if things kept going the way they were. We would have no choice. There was a loud creaking noise, the door started to open but we all of a sudden wanted it closed. We saw a whole bunch of monster standing if dark cloaks, some wore nothing but pants, and they were ugly. I shuddered, there were way too many for all of us to take on while Sailor Moon tried to heal Nehelenia.
"Sparkly wide pressure!" I attacked without warning. My energy blast went threw a few of the monster. The battle started.
"Oak evolution!" I spun around, sending more attacks in all directions of the beasts.
"Get off me!" Sailor Venus yelled. I picked up the beast from behind and flipped him into another on coming beast. She thanked me and we returned to battle. I punched and kicked monsters into other monster, some mange to catch me with their claws while others missed. Something slammed into my stomach before I could respond I was flying again. This time though, something a little softer then the massive tree pounded my back. I felt warm hands and strong arms enclose around me. My eyes popped open, I turned to see who had caught me, totally shocked I was glad he was holding me or I would be falling to my death.
"Gohan?! What are you doing here?"
