Author's Note: What's up my people! Nothing much for me! Always the same! So, here's another chapter! Hmph; can you believe this? Yesterday, I wrote this chapter up but I couldn't login into my account because of some "login issue" stupid FF moderators!

Chapter 34: Star vs. Jadeite!

"Titus?" A soft voice questioned as it looked at its surroundings. It was an Earthly place with a bright light, surrounding the whole place which reminded the person of the sunrays.

"Goddess…" It whispered back. The person continued to follow the voice; she gasped.

"Titus!" Minako rushed towards him, embracing him into a hug. "I've missed you! Are the others here?"

He nodded. "They should be here in about five seconds." And he was right; the remaining people came.

"Hey kid, how's it going?" Orestes said, ruffling the young girl's hair.

"Going good since you guys are here!" She replied, grinning at their presences.

"At least you're in once piece. That Lava Tornado was for sure to kill you but you nailed it!" Cassandra greeted her.

"Wow that's a nice way to say hello, Cassy!" Paris responded, receiving a glare.

"Star… you must go… now. We will talk again soon." Titus said.

"But… I want stay here with you… for couple of minutes." Minako pleaded.

"You're fading. But before you go, be on the lookout and be extra careful." Titus warned her as Minako kept on being fainter and fainter by the second.

"What do you mean by that? I know Youmas will attack but…"

"Miin…akoo… Minako!" A voice shouted, abruptly waking the blond girl.

"What?" She snapped, sleepily.

"Wow someone is grouchy." Another voice commented. Minako shoved the person off her bed by her leg and that person landed on the ground with a flump.

"Ow what was that for!" Artemtis whined, using his paw to rub his side. "I was only commenting on how grouchy she was."

"That's exactly why!" Minako snapped.

"Everybody's being mean to me." He pouted. Minako groaned, pulling the covers up.

"It's too early." Minako muffled under her covers when she pulled them up.

"What?" Luna quizzed.

She sighed, throwing the covers away from her head so that only a portion was covering her body. "It's too early." She repeated, stretching and yawning.

"Oh for-"Luna grumbled. "How is 9:00 early?"

"It just is… I feel tired. Now shoo!"

"You are going to get off NOW!" Luna started to pull Minako by her PJ bottom and while muttering about how lazy can this girl be. Luna was surprised that she managed to move Minako at all… only by an inch. So she continued the process until Minako is at the edge of the bed and fell to the ground with a thud.

Luna poked her head to see if that thud had wakened her but it didn't. Ooo! I bet if I put lead on her, she wouldn't wake up! She grumbled in thought and continued the dragging process until they were at the hallway.

"Hey Luna what's…up?" A voice questioned, looking down at the two. "What the-"

"This thing won't wake up!" Luna complained.

"Hmm… pour really cold water. It works!" Rei said; Serenity scowled.

"Here; I will go and grab a bucket!" A cheery voice offered then left.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAA! That was… c-c-cold!" Minako yelled. "Who did…it?" She exclaimed, trying to ignore the laughter.

"Sorry kid but it was fun. Now if you really wanna blame, blame it on Luna." Haruka pointed to the "innocent" cat.

"Hmph."

"Hurry up so we could go the mall!" Sere joined in.

"So you can drool at cute guys?" Minako responded.

"Yup!"

"Alright, alright! Give me a minute!"

-Moon Mall-

"Oo! This is too good to be true!" Minako and Sere suddenly wailed, earning looks.

"Um…" Haruka started.

"Taylor got a girlfriend!" The two wailed.

"For crying out loud! Really guys!" Haruka exclaimed.

"Well I'm totally thirsty! Anyone?" Makoto glanced back while heading to the Drink Stand.

"I'm coming." Haruka replied, followed by Michiru and Rei; the two were still bawling about the horrible news while Hotaru flashed a "smile" and waving to the people who were looking at the two as they passed by.

"This is humiliating!" Hotaru whimpered, having her head down with shame.

"There, there." Sets patted her on the back. As soon as she patted her, series of screams came.

"Trouble." Sets replied. "Guys; pull yourself together 'cause we got trouble!" She warned the two who stopped wailing.

"Right on!" They took off, followed by Makoto, Haruka, Michiru and Rei. Looks like they heard it as well.

"It's coming from the West Section. There's a bathroom nearby and we could transform there." Minako replied.

"Ever thought of cameras?" Hotaru pointed it out.

"So it's a no go. Ummm… we could hide in of those racks." Sere suggested. "The people will be too busy running away."

They considered it for a moment. It does seem like the best choice; hiding in racks, away from cameras.

"Looks like that's the only choice we go." Ami concluded. "Because we're here and it's from that Clothing Store." Once they entered it, the store was a mess; everything was thrown this way and that while there were many lifeless bodies were on the ground, indicating that the people got their energy stolen.

The group quickly dashed in each of the racks and called out their phrases and soon they were in their counterparts.

"Guards up, you-"Just as Star said that, she and Jupiter felt something hitting their stomachs like a violent branch, causing them to crash in the store's window. The glass smashed into hundreds of pieces while hearing the tinkle sound. They groaned in pain as their backs came contact with the ground.

"Ugh; try warning sooner." Jupiter moaned.

"Aww, did the poor witty Senshis got injured? Want me to make it feel better?" Something got thrown at the two and Star looked in time to see a crackling ball of energy racing at them.

Star gasped. "Jupiter move!" At the same time, the two got up by doing a backflip. When they did that, everything looked like it was in a slow motion; seeing the ball heading towards them; they doing a backflip at the right time. The two breathed, watching the ball passing between them. Then, everything came back to normal as the ball crashed into a bench just as the girls landed.

"This is fun! Let's play again!" An all too familiar voice got announced. Star looked up.

"Jadeite!" Star growled. "Everybody attack!" She commanded. One by one, series of attacks got launched.

"Oh missed me! Oh look missed me again! That's too bad! Woah that was a close one! Oh look a miss!" Jadeite responded. "This is fun! We should do this again! My turn, YAY!" The rest of the girls barely dodged his attacks.

He's enjoying this. Minako thought.

"One for Jadeite. Zero for Senshis!" He cheered. "Aww, you guys tired? I will give you a rest!" He then disappeared.

"Huh? That's it? That was barely a challenge!" Fire said. "We're just warming up."

"Cool it." Uranus said.

"He's still here… somewhere…" Star answered back, scanning the place.

"My! You are too good! Giving you a rest by taking the blond Senshi! Not the one with meatball head style (Serenity scowled). Won't that be fun!" Before Star had a chance to react, she felt something being tied around her.

"Let me go!" Star shouted, struggling to get loose but couldn't since the ropes were enchanted.

"Oh my no! Where's the fun in that? If you want your precious friend back, all you have to do is find the palace and rescue her! Oh this is way too much fun! Two for Jadeite. Zero for Senshis. See you!" With that, they vanished while hearing the cries of her name.

"STAR!"

Author's Note: Dun Dun DUN! Oh my! Will they rescue her? Tee hee, I had way too much fun writing out Jadeite's part! Especially the slow motion. Love when everything is in slow motion! My hands are so sore! Owwww! Next time: something! Yeah, I'm not giving it away! Followed by Nightmares! Only a couple of left for this story! Please R&R!
