SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 28 out, this is Chapter 29 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Pairings: Mainly Tieria/Sasha, Allelujah/Marie, Lockon Jr./Anew, Billy/Sumeragi, Patrick/Kati

Standard BS Disclaimers: I do not own Sailor Moon, Gundam 00 or the pairings. If I did, the other Senshi would be as powerful as Sailor Moon and kicking MOTD ass more often and VEDA would have least an anti-hacker program installed. The only thing I do own is the plot.

Chapter 29: Key


Time passes...

Over the weekend, Lasse had taken Argyrios to a strawberry farm in the countryside.

"Come on, Lasse." the lightning Senshi pulled her boyfriend off the bus. "Let's go."

"Oi, Argyrios, calm down!" Lasse shouted, the couple running past the materials house.


In the strawberry plantation...

Argyrios was coaching Lasse on the correct method of plucking strawberries.


During lunchtime...

"Did you hear?" one of the couple's group mates dashed into the cafeteria. "They're putting the afternoon plans on hold. Apparently, the door to the materials house won't open."

"Let's go take a look." Argyrios turned to Lasse.


Outside the materials house...

Argyrios pushed the iron door open.

"That's weird." Lasse frowned as they entered the remodeled storage house. "Looks like the preparations are already complete." he looked at the aligned folding chairs. "What the..." he turned to the door when it slammed shut. "It won't budge." he winced, trying to force the door open.

"What is this magical aura?" Argyrios' senses went haywire. "Darn it, if only Sasha was here."

"A lock..." Lasse reasoned.

"Like a magic padlock?" Argyrios echoed. "And the magic sealed up this building?"

"Since it's a lock, won't a key open it?" Lasse suggested.

"A key?" Argyrios blinked. "But where... maybe..." she reached into her summer dress and pulled out the eight-point metal key that hung around her neck. She approached the locked door and inserted the 'Eternity Key' into the keyhole. Turning the key, she activated the magical lock. The magical force that burst out then converged into a golden and green lock with miniature angel wings at its side.

The lock then pulsed, forcing Argyrios back and removing the 'Eternity Key' from the keyhole so that it could inhibit said keyhole.

"Oh no, you don't!" Argyrios snapped. "Silver Jupiter Power, Make Up!" transforming in a flash, she snatched the 'Eternity Key' from the ground and plunged it back into the keyhole, stopping the lock from fusing and summoned the Maelstaff. "Return to the form you originated from!" she absorbed the magical lock into the crystal orb on top of the Maelstaff.
