Chapter Twenty-Eight:

"An Unusual Rescue Mission"


The second floor hall was eerily quiet now, a vast change from the sounds of fighting that had echoed through it earlier. Everything was calm and still, nothing moved and not a person stirred…It seemed as though it would be a normal night, but that would prove to be far from the truth.

In the room shared between the Scout's of the Elements and the Lady Ancient, something was going on, or rather just about to.

The air in the room seemed to buzz in anticipation, seeming to understand that a call would soon be placed and that the magic in the area would be required to 'spark' to life. Before settling into a restless sleep, the five had spent their time talking about what had happened.

The Last of the Ancient's clan was greatly distressed over the matter just because the Ronins were her charges, and she could do nothing to be of aide or guidance…The Elementals were upset because they felt as useless as Kayura did. After the five of them proceeded to rack their brains for over an hour and came up with no ideas on how to solve the issue at hand…Well they weren't really any better off.


Now the four Sailor Elementals found themselves in a strange dream, and the fact that they were sharing it did little to ease their concerns.

"Where are we?" Callista ask with a frown, eyes warily scanning her surroundings.

Kirstin looked around and shrugged, "Dreaming, I think."

The grass was so green it looked as though it had come out of a paint bottle, and the small lake was a perfect shining aqua blue. The sky was tinged with white puffy clouds, and blue sky as far as the eye could see…That's when they all agreed that they were definitely dreaming.

"Why are we all having the same dream?" Vanessa asked slightly annoyed, something was fishy and she wasn't about to just stand there and act like everything was okay.

A chuckle from somewhere behind them caught their attention, and the four abruptly turned around.

The figure was sitting sprawled out on a rock, studying them with an amusement that one might use when they were watching small children play. She ran an ungloved hand through her black-silver hair, the other resting comfortably on her hip.

She spoke in a low and soft tone, "I might be able to answer that."

Aurora watched the girl with eyes wide in shock, and after some minutes finally screeched out, "Uni!"

The Scout chuckled again and slightly waved, "Hi girls."

"You're alive?" You could have knocked Callista over with a feather, never mind her element of wind…To see the Scout in front of her was just mind blowing.

"Perhaps, but that is not why I come to you now. I am in need of your assistance," Sailor Universe sat up, tilting her head at the four young women, "Would you help me?"

"It's about the Ronin Warriors, isn't it?" Vanessa inquired; eyeing the figure with just a tiny amount of apprehension…She wasn't going to trust her eyes right now, after all she was dreaming; perhaps the stress had called up the image of Universe.

"You are correct," the Scout admitted, "I called you each onto what the mortals may call the 'dream plain' a stage that exists before one is awake but also before they are truly asleep. Helios often frequents this plain of existence before entering one's dreams, a tad of useless information for you since I know how you enjoy that."

"Do not," the Earth Scout quickly said, before slipping a hand over her mouth looking guilty.

"Do so infinity," Vanessa stated before an argument could begin, looking to Universe and asking, "Why do you need us exactly? And don't tell me that it's because 'we are destined to fall in love and marry our elemental partners' cause that is so corny it's sickening."

Universe laughed merrily, "No nothing of the sort. I am aware of your feelings toward your respective partners, and glad that you have attained such a well working friendship."

Kirstin shifted her weight slightly when the Scout looked to her and winked; the Earth Senshi was hoping no one else caught that.

"Well working friendship? Half the time we argue like we're siblings," Callista commented with a roll of her eyes.

"It's to be expected," The Scout commented with a smile, "You do have the same elements and with that most often comes the same interests. I need you because of your friendship with the Ronins and because you bear the same elements. As it is, you four bear the remnant power of the Ronin Armors. Your powers are the surplus energy the Great Council was afraid to give to the Ronins for fear it'd cause undo strain on the bearers."

"Are you serious?" Aurora was gaping at this bit of news.

"Very much so," Universe said with a nod, "The same is true of the Seasonal Senshi; they carry the remaining power of the Seasonal Ronin's armors."

"Hey, I've been meaning to ask and you're the right person," Vanessa breathed, quickly inquiring, "Where the hell are the Seasons?"

Universe laughed a little, "Doing their job. Before this life cycle started during the last one sometime, I sent them, after getting Serenity's approval, to outside of this Solar System. Their task is to prevent any outside threats from entering. The Outer Senshi's task is the same, yet they perform it while within this system. I thought it best to have someone outside of it. You most likely won't be seeing Summer, Fall and Winter for a long time if all goes well."

"What about Spring?" Kirstin inquired raising an eyebrow.

Universe allowed herself a chuckle, and smiled knowing the secret behind her amusement, "That is something for another time. Meaning, I can't tell you right now."

"Understood," Callista said with a nod, asking, "Why exactly do you need our help?"

"The armors are still weak from the drainage spell that was used on them," Universe responded quietly, "The fact that their bearer's are now so out of control clearly conveys to me that the armors have not fully recovered from the blow."

"What can we do, Uni?" the Elemental Leader finally asked.

"I was originally going to do this the easy way, but I find I cannot. I need you four to 'find' the Ronins and, for lack of a better word, 'latch' onto them while I try and fix the damage done as well as use the incantation to remove whatever spell is keeping them bound like this."

"Okay, I'm ready for some action," the Water Scout remarked, "Anything else we should know?"

"It may be a dream to you, but the consequences are real," Universe warned trying to make sure that the four didn't take this too lightly, "I will protect you the best I can, but I can't do everything myself."

"Which means we can get hurt, great," Callista let out a long sigh, "I guess that means we need our pendants, but…."

Before the words could form, the four familiar objects appeared in mid-air, and she closed her mouth with a snap.

"Dream, remember?" the Sailor of Earth smirked firmly grasping the one that belonged to her.

The Air Scout merely nodded her head in response.

"Good luck and be careful," Sailor Universe murmured.


Before they could respond to the statement, they found themselves being pulled away from the plain…Though Vanessa managed to shriek out, "How are we supposed to find the guys in the first place?"

The next thing they knew they had landed with a harsh thud and Universe's voice drifted to them in amusement, "You'll know when the time comes."

"Ow," Callista moaned out rubbing her forehead.

Aurora sat up commenting on the fall with, "That was not a very graceful landing."

"Agreed," Kirstin grumbled trying to figure out why they had landed in an alleyway.

Vanessa was already on her feet, and was almost completely out of the dark and dank alley, not wanting to wait for her comrades to catch up.

The Scout of Air had noticed how clouded over it was, and the negative feeling the green hued haze was giving off, a frown settled onto her face as she walked over to where the Water Scout was standing.

"I think we need to walk around to find out where we are," Aurora brought in, looking up and down the empty street, "I don't see anything familiar."

"I do," Kirstin murmured eyes slightly widened, "We're in Shinjuku!"

"What?" The other three chorused, before exchanging looks with one another.

"What if Kali," Vanessa murmured out quietly, "Used a spell that would call on the Ronins darker memories?"

"It's possible. Which means that they are stuck reliving their pasts," Callista mused aloud, "So if we want to find them, we're going to have to discern what is part of the dream and what is not."

"It won't be that hard," Kirstin commented as the four warily began to walk down the street, "After all they were fourteen when they fought Talpa, they are in their twenties now. Shouldn't they appear to us as their real ages?"

"Let's hope they do, or not only will this be confusing but it'll also be extremely complicated," Aurora muttered keeping a look out for anything strange.

Before the Elemental of Water could make note that it was already complicated, a familiar voice shouted something out.

"That's Ryo," She said instead, tightening the grip on her pendant before sprinting off and around the corner where she slammed to a halt.

The other three trailed behind her, puzzled as to why their battle-ready friend had stopped so short.

It was certainly the Ronin leader that had called out; though it was hard to accept the fact he was so young…He was facing off against an odd-looking hulk of metal.

Kirstin looked over the soldier, and let out a low whistle, "Man, they weren't joking when they said that Dynasty soldiers were ugly."

Callista nodded commenting with, "Here I thought the Raikken got thrown out of beauty school."

The Elemental leader was scanning the surrounding area, catching notice of a small boy and young woman, "Those two have to be Yulie and Mia. But where are the other guys?"

"They'll be here," Vanessa commented arms crossed in front of her chest, eyes on the Wildfire Ronin and his opponent.

The soldier prepared to make his move to finish the match, and cried out, "Say goodbye to this world!"

Ryo had his arms shielding his face, but the attack never came, being diverted by a familiar blur of blue.

"You were going to introduce us to your friend weren't you? I'm Rowen, of the armor Strata. This is my friend. Head's up!"

Another familiar figure landed, speaking with his usual note of confidence, "Hey buddy! You saving all the fun for yourself? Call me Kento of Hardrock. Justice is my reward!"

Aurora moaned at the gloating look on the Water Scout's face, and then proceeded to shake her head at everything else that was going on.

Callista did her best to keep her face neutral; this was how the five of them had started out against the Dynasty?

'At least it isn't as lame as what the Scouts normally shout out,' Kirstin thought over the mental link with a loud snigger.

The other three women nodded in whole-hearted agreement that was a very good point.

A voice with a slight British accent broke in now, from a nearby rooftop "Up here Bucket Head! I'm Cye of the Torrent. Trust is my symbol."

As Cye jumped down from his vantage point to the ground below, the last and final warrior was seen falling upside down, "Whoa! Check out ugly!"

Callista let a smile cross her lips, doing her best not to laugh now was twice as impossible. Though, she didn't find it hard to believe that Sage had actually said that.

"That's Sage for you," Vanessa commented rolling her amethyst eyes skywards, 'That cotton-ball show off.'

"I'm Sage of the Halo. My power seeks Wisdom!"

The four young women watched this in a great deal of amusement, exchanging candid smirks and looks of knowing. If and when the current issue was resolved, they were never going to let the guys live their 'grand introduction to the dynasty' down.

Vanessa blinked in surprise, sharply tugging on her leader's shirt, "Look!"

Aurora frowned, turning her head to a nearby alley and her eyes widened, "Universe?"

She was obviously younger than the one they had just dealt with, as she was far smaller in body stature, perhaps she was no more than fourteen here.

"Good luck my friends, and be careful," She murmured in a soft voice, she watched for a few minutes more before leaping into a shadow and disappearing.

"So," Kirstin turned to look at her friends, "She was present when it started for them. Care to take bets as to whether or not she was present during Senshi fights?"

"Uni had to have been; perhaps even for the few we went through," Callista answered quietly; saying, "She is alive and has undoubtedly been helping us since September of this year. Universe is the only one who could've helped Sage, Rowen and Cye out; the Ancient didn't permit Kayura to intervene until after they were attacked."

The woman paused for breath, "Universe has also probably been in the battles focused around us Scouts; she just blends in easier because we all have the same uniform and no one is going to be able to tell the minute differences of hers just by seeing her shadow. The reason she would stand out when helping the Ronins is because she doesn't wear armor."

"Makes sense," the Water Scout admitted, "But let's just keep our theories, and where and when we see her to ourselves. The elders want her listed as dead for a reason; if the guys have already dealt with her that's okay, let's try not to draw too much attention."

"Right," Aurora nodded, "Deal. Now, how the heck are we supposed to find the guys?"

"I don't know," The Warrior of Air commented, "I doubt very much they're all having the same dream, or if they are that they're having it at the same time. It's just not possible…."

'Then I guess it's not possible for mystical samurai armors or transformation objects that invoke the powers of both planets and elements to exist either,' Universe commented with a chuckle of amusement.

Callista worked her jaw, "Ya okay you got me there. And where are you exactly?"

'Working where else would I be?' Universe retorted calmly noting how the woman's pitch and tone had changed to demanding.

'Cut-it-out,' the Elemental leader mouthed to her blue-haired comrade in warning; what little she could remember of the Silver Millennium…Well, she recalled the fact that Air Senshi had often clashed with the Universal Scout.

"Uni? What exactly are you doing, may I ask?" Aurora inquired, hoping she might be able to figure out how to find the Ronins due to the Scout's answer.

'Dream blending,' Universe paused a moment, 'It's done, I merely made it so they were located within the same dream…Or plain of said dream; whichever tiresome title you would prefer to call it. Your earlier assumptions are correct they should appear to you as they are now, not as they were in these memories. I have other spells to employ, if you'll all excuse me."

Vanessa bopped Callie in the head before the woman could make a smart retort, "Shuddup, and leave her alone. We have elemental partners to find, remember?"

The Warrior of Air merely nodded, though her coffee brown eyes were narrowed into a hateful glare. Vanessa merely returned this look with one of her own.

"I would assume the best thing to do would be to go our separate ways," Kirstin brought in before things could get too out of hand, "We don't want to give the poor fools heart-attacks."

The Water Scout chuckled at her friend's analysis, "Ya, considering they almost bashed their leader's brains in, I'm sure there's a high risk of heart-failure involved here."

"Enough you guys, let's get going," Aurora snapped, "We don't know how much time we've got, so we better stop wasting it."

The other three nodded in agreement, and before parting they all wished one another good luck….Somehow they figured they were going to need it.


Callista walked around the streets, steeling herself when the memory changed to that of another.

"I am never going to get used to that," The Air Scout commented. The scene had changed several times now; she could only hope that the other Scouts were having better luck than she was.

She paused a moment, eyes settling on the person she was looking for, Callista then walked over and tugged on his shirt sleeve.

The Ronin of Strata nearly jumped out of clothes as well as the skin he was wearing. He whirled on the heel of his foot, slightly taken aback by seeing the Senshi of Air there.

"Callie? What are you doing here?" Midnight blue-eyes were widened in shock, not sure whether or not his subconscious had put her in this dream. This had been going on for so long, Rowen and the others were aware when they were dreaming and when they were not.

"Looking for you," She answered simply, adding, "At the request of someone."

He raised a blue-eyebrow at her but decided not to inquire as he turned his attention back to the memories playing out before him.

For quite a while the two of them remained completely silent, watching as things slowly dragged out. Because the dreams were blended, Rowen was now seeing things from the others point-of-view, and undoubtedly the same thing was happening to them.

Callista kept stealing glances at the young man beside her, upset to see her Elemental partner like this for Rowen looked truly miserable.

"I'd give a lot to change this…" He suddenly murmured, turning to face her as he spoke, "Make it so they didn't have to suffer like they did."

He had come to the conclusion that this figment of his imagination wasn't going to go away; the least he could do was make an effort to talk to her, right?

"I think…" she started slowly, "They would all like to change that Ro. Change the fact that you or someone else got hurt for them, or vice versa. But, honestly…what good will it do to dwell on what can't be changed? You're letting your feelings consume you, Rowen."

He blinked, and inquired somewhat stupefied, "Am I dreaming, or is this actually happening?" Rowen knew there was no way his subconscious could come up with her answer…A similar one, yes, but that exact one? No.

She bit back a laugh, "Both, you're dreaming and I'm actually present. Your mind didn't 'dream me up,' I was more or less sent here."

"I don't get it," the Strata Ronin continued to blink in his confusion, "How?"

Callista merely shrugged, "Don't look at me; this defies all sense of logic. You'd have to ask someone who's into magic and the supernatural."

"Heh, Sage is never around when I need him," Rowen tried his pitiful attempt at cracking a joke…Only to get whapped in the head by someone from behind, "Youch!"

"You rang?" The Halo Ronin smoothly inquired, retracting his hand and then crossing both arms in front of his chest.

"Did you have to hit me?" Rowen whined out, rubbing the sore spot visibly wincing.

Callista ignored them, inquiring of her leader, "How long did it take you?"

"Not that long at all," the Light Elemental sarcastically replied, jerking her thumb at Sage, "He was sulking in the furthest corner of his mind."

"I was not sulking," Sage growled out, eyeing his partner in annoyance, "I do not sulk."

She snorted and rolled her eyes skyward, "You were sitting on the ground, muttering angrily about this that and the other thing. You were so sulking."

"Whatever," the swordsman of Halo responded gruffly, closing his visible eye.

Callista arched an eye-brow, "Well isn't he just Mr. Sunshine?"

Rowen snorted back a laugh, and shook his head in slight mirth. When the woman had said that, Sage's face had contorted to show his displeasure with the latest nickname.

"He better watch it, because Vanessa will clean his clock. She's been dying to for weeks," Aurora stated, only trying to get a reaction from the man.

Sage gave a derisive snort, "She better watch it, I might clean hers for a change."

The Elemental Leader let out a shriek, clinging to Rowen's arm, "Look! It spoke; it does actually do more than sulk. Save me!"

The Halo Ronin's visible eye opened, and he gave a shake of his head to reveal both of them as he glared at Aurora. The woman merely gave him a triumphant smile in response, and stuck her tongue out just for good measure.

The swordsman could not help but grin at her comeback, and let out a low chuckle, "Stop hanging around An so much."

"I am nothing like her," the Elemental leader calmly retorted.

Rowen cleared his throat, nervously inquiring, "Gonna let go of me anytime soon?"

Aurora ordinarily would have shrieked and then let him go, but instead she leaned her head against his shoulder.

She batted her eyelashes at him, and queried, "Who in their right mind would let go of such a nice catch?"

Rowen had been uncomfortable before, but after her sly comment it doubled and he felt his cheeks burn. Callista immediately started laughing at the look on her elemental partner's face, it was priceless!

Sage chortled at his friend, "Ro, you're about as red as Ryo's armor right now."

"Shuddup!" the archer griped, leveling a glare at Aurora who had finally let go of him, "He's right, you're hanging around Elayne way too much."

The platinum-blonde merely smirked at him fully prepared to retort, but instead raised voices caught her attention and she refrained.


"Oh I give up! You go ahead and be that way," Vanessa complained, throwing her hands up into the air and stalking forward. She caught sight of her teammates and the other two Ronin and picked up the pace.

"Ness!" Cye called after a moment or two of hesitation; frowning when she didn't respond, "Aw come on Ness."

The woman disregarded her partner and halted right in front of Aurora, who was watching everything with both eyebrows raised.

"Vanessa Nyoko Eytinge," Kirstin stated hotly, "Would you simmer down?"

Aurora raised her eyebrows even further (if it were possible), the look on the face conveying her question perfectly, do-I-even-want-to-know?

Vanessa rounded on her best friend who had been following behind her and Cye, "Shut up Nozomi no one asked you. If he's going to be a moron he can stay that way."

Kirstin let out a low growl at her friend, and Kento put a hand on his partner's shoulder and gave her a look conveying the subtle fact she needed to calm down herself. The Earth Scout worked her jaw a few times but kept quiet; Kento proceeded to relax a little.

Rowen was also watching all of this with raised eyebrows, "What's going on?"

"He," Vanessa glowered at her respective partner, "Is on a Ryo-guilt trip. He refuses to get off of it, even after our arguing over it for the past thirty minutes. So now I'm pissed. Make sense?"

Aurora merely nodded completely understanding; after all Sage had been asking for a pummeling before. She had finally managed to get him to a semi-normal state, but the offer was still very tempting.

The Elemental leader was suddenly thankful she was used to Vanessa and her outbursts, especially when her anger was going off the charts…When pressed the wrong way, the Water Scout could be rather volatile.

"That's nice," Rowen responded calmly, before barking out, "I meant: what you are all doing here?"

Everyone visibly winced, rather unused to the Strata Ronin shouting so loudly…The three Ronin merely shrugged at their friend, while the Sailor Elementals did the same, only after exchanging looks with one-another.

Rowen's eyes narrowed sharply, but before he could go on a rant, a voice rang out rather calmly, 'Now, now Touma, don't be rash.'

He immediately frowned recognizing the voice, "Universe what are you doing?"

Callista sniggered, unable to resist the chance to make a pun and hoping to offset the growing tension, she commented, "Messing with your heads."

'I'm trying to fix them, oh wise one,' Universe chuckled but understanding what the Scout was shooting for, 'They were a 'mess' long before Kali used her little trick.'

"Hey!" Cye, Sage and Kento shouted in annoyance.

"I resent that," Rowen growled out.

"You would," the four Senshi quipped, while Universe merrily chuckled.


The young women then looked between each other, before plunging into an explanation of what had been going on (leaving out the fight with Ryo), what was currently going on now, and why they were there.

"So," Kento murmured after a few moments silence, "We're more or less locked inside our heads? And for longer periods of times?"

"Pretty much," Callista acknowledged, scanning her surroundings warily. After the other two Ronin had shown up the scenery had stopped changing altogether, and by the looks of it things were getting darker.

Aurora tensed and whirled around eyes darting from corner to corner, shadow to shadow.

Sage saw her reaction and a frown wove its way upon his face, "What's wrong?"

"Dream demon," She whispered softly, eyes narrowed into slits, "That's what the spell does…It calls them up to keep the victim trapped and then as time goes by the demon gains more control to the point where they can possess the person!"

Kirstin was scowling, "But that isn't what it was supposed to do! According to what the Seasonals found…" She halted, and refused to finish the sentence not caring that the four Ronins were staring at her oddly.

'Kali is powerful, but she's an idiot. She mixed up the other spell's title with this one's chant,' Universe sourly commented, adding, 'Be careful.'

"Heh," Callista sighed heavily through her nose, hand tightly wrapped around her crystal-blue transformation pendant, "Thanks for the show of concern."

Callista was spared a retort from the Scout, as a voice cackled out, "Do you really think you fools can help?"

It sounded like Kali, but Aurora knew better; with a quick twist of her wrist the pendant activated causing her to change forms. The other three woman followed suite, and then the Elemental Senshi pondered what to do about their partners…The Ronins had been in nothing more than their normal everyday clothes…

However, now they were in sub-armor…Glacia immediately ridiculed herself and her friends, 'We keep forgetting that this is a dream.'

'Heh, ya,' Empyrean acknowledged sheepishly.

"Where are you?" Nova demanded her voice tense.

"Everywhere and nowhere," was the echolike response.

Aarde scowled eyes locking onto a mist-like gray cloud, it was different from the rest of the surrounding area…She quickly called out, "Solar Vine Strike!"

But instead of having the vines detonate she merely held that power back, enabling her attack to hold onto the form.

Nova watched as the mist faded away, revealing a hooded figure, "You're a Driento, I figured as much. We're going to give you an option, leave their minds, or we're going to let them have at you."

It chuckled, loosing Kali's voice which is had been using…It responded in a screech-like tone, "You forget that there was one for each Ronin. The dream is blended; I have the power of four!"

"And there are eight of us," Rowen smoothly commented, "I think you're outnumbered."

"Fool!" the Driento sputtered out amidst its cackling, "I have access to your memories, I can easily trap you again. I can do this so they can't find you! You will be trapped here forever."

The eight warriors stood still for a moment, the weight of the words sinking in…They then decided they had to act and fast. As they advanced, the Driento began to make good on its threat.

The Ronins felt that they were being pulled away, and the Elemental Senshi could see that they were starting to fade. The Driento's laughter increased, and then it screamed in agony as what appeared to be electricity shot throughout it.

The four young men realized they were once more in a solid form, and looked amongst themselves, trying to figure out what happened. The Elemental Scouts were surprised too, even more so to see that now all four men were in full armor.

'Hurry up and destroy it,' Universe's voice broke in, sounding horribly strained.

"You did that?" Kento asked slowly.

'I had to,' she responded wearily, 'You have to take it out while you've got the chance; right now it's disorientated.'

"Thanks Uni," Nova breathed, before looking to her team, "You heard her, hop to it!"

"Ma'am, yes ma'am," the Air Senshi sarcastically commented, then added, "On the count of three…"

"Three!" Cye shouted out, and with that the eight warriors released their attacks causing a fury of light to be cast across the pitch black area.

Time and space stood still and with a final scream, the Driento burst into ashes…The area slowly began to lighten up, as the fog clouding the Ronins minds dissipated.

"That was almost too easy," The Ronin of Halo murmured with a frown.

The others mutely nodded in agreement, and looked at each other worriedly; what if that had only been a decoy?

'Of course it would be easy,' Universe said in a pained voice, 'Who do you think was fighting it before you all showed up?'

"You're kidding!" Glacia outright gaped, "You were not fighting that thing, were you?"

'I was,' she responded calmly, breathing heavily, 'It kept trying to interfere; I had to beat it back.'

"Uni!" Nova cried in exasperation, "You don't have access to your powers yet! The seal is still in place."

'You think I don't know that?' the Scout agitatedly demanded, 'I can access my powers, it just drains me more than it should. I had no other choice, but enough of that. It's time now.'
"Time for what?" Cye asked in confusion.

'For you to return to peaceful dreams and your normal selves,' Universe answered calmly, before separating the dream.


The Elemental Senshi found that they were once more on the 'dream plain' and looked amongst themselves in confusion.

"Now what?" Kirstin calmly asked having powered down.

"Thank you for your help," Universe murmured, once more lounging on the rock, "They'll be all right now. I merely sent them to peaceful sleep. I just wished to thank you for helping me, before I did the same to you."

Aurora smiled warmly, "It's not a problem. They have, unfortunately, grown on us. It just wouldn't be the same without them around."

The Scout managed a laugh, and shook her head in amusement. She then became solemn, "Take care of each other; I'll be keeping my eyes on you all. Till the next time!"

Without letting another word pass, the Sailor of the Universe quickly severed the links she had called upon, sending the four Scouts back to their own dreams.
