A/N: This chapter starts a rather interesting arc... what I call the memory arc. Enjoy!
Chapter 36: River of Oblivion
The room was silent… extremely silent, Haruhi, Tomo, Osaka, Yuzu, Tatsuki, Tsukasa and Konata laid there unconscious. Yuki was sealing a nearby room in someway… inside the room was an unconscious Ryoko.
"Yuki… why did you put Ryoko into that room?" asked Momo.
"If we let her be, she could be controlled by a faction that seeks revenge." Said Yuki.
"What do you mean?" asked Mikuru.
Let's rewind to earlier that day, it was a normal day for the S.O.S. Brigade.
"So Haruhi what are you doing?" asked Momo who was drawing a picture.
"I'm trying to see if there's any local tournaments for sports." Answered Haruhi, "It's been so boring lately…"
"A local tournament?" asked Ryoko.
The senior members all paled.
"I take it it's a bad thing…" said Momo.
On top of North High, both Sailor Lethe and Sailor Mnemosyne stood.
"We just need bait." Said Sailor Lethe.
That was when they saw a girl named Miyuki Enomoto waving bye to her band mates.
"That's good…" said Sailor Lethe.
"Okay… let's do this…" sighed Sailor Mnemosyne.
Sailor Lethe launched the Golden Ball at her, turning her into a phage.
"Sailor Rocker!"
"Well that's better than the recent phages…" said Sailor Mnemosyne.
Sailor Lethe nodded with a big sweat drop.
Inside the clubroom… both Ryoko and Yuki's computers beeped.
"Um… I just remember I have to do something!" said Haruhi.
"Me too!" said Momo, "I have to meet with my friend Toshiro about something."
"I just remembered I have to do something." Said Mikuru.
Then Ryoko and Yuki left the room.
"Is it me, or are they hiding something from us." Said Kyon.
"I feel it too… like there's something bigger than we can even comprehend." Said Itsuki, "Or perhaps it's something very dangerous that they have to hide it from us to protect us."
"Please don't it with "Just kidding"." Said Kyon.
"Honestly this is what I believe." Sighed Itsuki.
"I see…" sighed Kyon.
Outside the S.O.S. Brigade members/ Sailor Senshi were already transformed and were chasing Sailor Rocker.
"Where are they leading us?" asked Sailor Sun.
"I don't know." Said Sailor Larissa.
"The others are coming." Said Ryoko.
"Good." Said Sailor Sun.
They arrived in a heavily forested area. Just as the other Senshi arrived.
"You're not going anywhere!" said Sailor Star Fighter.
"That's fine." Said Sailor Rocker, she grabbed her guitar and began to play sonic waves, the sonic waves hit both Sailor Io and Sailor Deimos. Sending them flying into the trees.
"Deimos are you all right?" asked Sailor Phobos.
"Io?" asked Sailor Rhea.
In space the moon of Mars, Deimos began to glow light yellow, while the moon of Jupiter Io began to glow celadon.
Back on Earth, both Senshi began to glow their respective colors. That's when their Crystal Change Rods appeared in front of them. Both of them grabbed them.
"Io Crystal Power!"
"Deimos Crystal Power!"
"Make-up!"
Both of them gained their additions to their Senshi outfits. Not only but also gained a power up.
"Super Io Tornado Vortex!"
"Super Deimos Gem Barrage!"
Both attacks hit Sailor Rocker.
The three healers played rock paper scissors, Sailor Sun was the winner.
"Sol Star Healing Light!"
The Phage went back to being Miyuki Enomoto.
"You fell for our trap." Said a voice.
That was when Sailor Lethe and Sailor Mnemosyne appeared. Sailor Mnemosyne grabbed the unconscious Miyuki Enomoto, she disappeared and reappeared.
"What did you do to her?" asked Sailor Moon.
"I didn't want to put in the middle of this!" said Sailor Mnemosyne, "Really! I didn't… she's safe. I put her outside the S.O.S. Brigade Clubroom… honest."
Indeed she did… Kyon left the room… for certain reasons when he found her unconscious.
"That' weird." Thought Kyon.
Back in the wooded area.
"That's so kind... " said Sailor Lethe, "Not subjecting her to what we're about to unleash."
That was a strange barrier surrounded them. Both Sailor Lethe and Sailor Mnemosyne jumped into the air.
"Rise! The Water of the River of Oblivion!"
Very quickly the area was flooded.
Sailor Triton quickly surfaced with Sailor Rhea.
"Thank you so much!" cried Sailor Rhea.
"No problem." Said Sailor Trion.
That's when Sailor Charon, Sailor Moon, Sailor Star Fighter, Sailor Phobos, Sailor Dione and Sailor Oberon all surfaced.
"Wow I managed to be okay." Said Sailor Dione.
"Where Titania?" asked Sailor Oberon getting nervous.
"I cant find Deimos." Said Sailor Phobos.
That was when Sailor Eris, surfaced holding onto an unconscious Tatsuki who had somehow detransformed.
"What happened?" asked Sailor Triton.
"I don't know." Said Sailor Eris.
That was when Sailor Juliet was holding onto an unconscious Haruhi and Ryoko.
"I'm going to look for some." Said Sailor Triton… but that before an unconscious Osaka showed in front of her… causing everyone to sweat drop.
"Is anyone surprised by this?" asked Sailor Star Fighter.
Everyone sweat dropped as they shook their head no.
Right before she could dive under, Sailor Larissa surfaced holding onto Yuzu, Sailor Titan holding onto Tomo and Konata and Sailor Elara resurfaced by herself.
"Yuzu…" whispered Sailor Oberon.
"Okay… I'm going back down!" said Sailor Triton, just as Sailor Makemake resurfaced holding on Tsukasa.
"Everyone's accounted for." Said Sailor Moon.
"Um… can someone make Osaka is not floating face first." Said Sailor Titan with a sweat drop.
"Looks like everyone accounted for…" said Sailor Lethe, "And only 8..."
"Maybe you should have said "Rise! Waters of Oblivion …" said Sailor Mnemosyne "They were expecting a flood."
"I have the feeling that a couple of them barely swallowed a drop… and that's still enough." Said Sailor Lethe.
"Yeah… but one of the ones that swallowed it was Sailor Sun… and we already knew her identity." Said Sailor Mnemosyne.
"Okay…we'll gather the data right now." Said Sailor Lethe.
"Right…" said Sailor Mnemosyne.
With the Senshi the water's retreated and the barrier vanished.
"What kind of trap was that?" asked Sailor Triton.
That was when Sailor Juliet transformed back.
"We need to go my apartment immediately." Said Yuki, she eyed the unconscious Ryoko.
Yuki grabbed the unconscious Ryoko. They headed as quickly as they could we 7 unconscious teenagers and one unconscious 10 year old.
And that is where we started…
"The water that was used was a special magical water. Anyone who drinks from it, even a small amount will lose all their memories." Explained Yuki, "None of us had drank any water… however they did… even in small amounts."
Everyone paled when they heard this, in fact, Karin, Kagami and Orihime were on the verge of crying.
"Wait! Konata and Tatsuki are two of the most athletic here." Said Kagura.
"They drank about a drop." Said Yuki, "The same with Ryoko. The Data Entity believes that during this period Ryoko ay be taken over by a small faction that seeks revenge against the S.O.S. Brigade."
"Can you reverse it Yuki?" asked Kagami.
"No… until I can find the antidote… nothing can cure this amnesia." Said Yuki, "Not only that but the magic involved allowed the two Senshi to easily find the identities of their civilian forms."
"Wait! Then you mean…" said Kagami.
"They're going to be in constant danger, with no memory of who they are… or even of their Senshi powers… they're going to be sitting ducks." Said Seiya.
"We need to think of someone to take of them until we can somehow find the antidote." Said Yuki.
"I think most of them are obvious." Said Seiya.
Yuki would take of Ryoko.
Kagami would take of Tsukasa.
Karin would take of Yuzu.
Yomi would take care of Tomo.
"Why do I have to care of Tomo?" asked Yomi.
"Because you grew up together and went to the same school since elementary…" said Kagura.
Yomi face palmed, "Hopefully she won't be as annoying."
"Now here lies the problem." Said Seiya, "Osaka, Haruhi and Konata."
"I'll taker care of Konata." Said Miyuki.
"And I'll take care of Osaka!" said Chiyo-Chan.
"I… I guess… I can take care of Haruhi." Said Mikuru.
That was when Tatsuki began to wake up…
"What happened?" she asked, "Where am I? And who are you people…"
"Tatsuki…" whispered Orihime.
Meanwhile in the HQ of the Sailor Galaxia.
"Here they are…" said Sailor Lethe.
They looked at the nine pictures (as Haruhi's was not needed).
"Okay… that's just weird…" said Sailor Lethe.
"If you had hit her, we would have gotten Umbriel's Star Seed…" said Sailor Mnemosyne.
"She will be the first one we go after… Tatsuki Arisawa…" said Sailor Lethe.
Omake Time: The Misadventures of Sailor Rangiku: Episode 3
An evil monster was holding many children hostage.
"Hahaha! No one can save you now!" said the monster.
"Save us please!" yelled a little girl.
That's when the heroin Sailor Rangiku… however she was blushing, moving awkwardly, and smelled of booze.
"Here I come to save the day!" sang Sailor Rangiku.
The monster laughed, "She's drunk!"
That was when Sailor Rangiku beat up the monster, for she was a master of drunken boxing.
"Yay! Sailor Rangiku" said a little.
That wads when she passed out.
"What just happened?" asked another little girl.
"He reminds me of daddy…" said a little boy.
And so the day was saved thanks to Sailor Rangiku… granted the monster doesn't wake up first…
End of Omake Time!
Next Time: With their memories gone, the Senshi must wait until the antidote is made. Orihime must help Tatsuki at school. While Tsukasa's condition worries Kagami. What will happen? Find out next time!
