SailorStar9: With Chapter 69 out, this is Chapter 70 of this fic. Remember boys and girls, reviews are an author's subsistence. Really, is it so difficult for you guys to review instead of just putting this fic up in your favorites and alerts?

Pairings: No official Tieria/Ami for this Book, sorry. Just canon Mamoru/Usagi and quite possible Setsuna/Hotaru in S Season.

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 70: Cold Hearted Uranus? Makoto in Trouble


After her run-in with Usagi and Makoto...

Haruka headed back to her shared apartment with Michiru.

"We have to find the Messiah at any cost." the Sky Senshi told Michiru who was floating in the swimming pool. "The three Talismans that are the key to finding the Messiah are sealed inside Pure Hearts. I will make sure they fall into our hands."

"Even if we have to sacrifice the owner of that Pure Heart?" Michiru asked.

"Even if we have to sacrifice the owner of the Pure Heart." Haruka confirmed.

"For world peace?" Michiru inquired.

"For world peace." Haruka answered. "We have little time left. Silence is approaching us soon."

"You're right." Michiru relented. "We have to find the Messiah soon, at any cost."


The next day...

"It's around here." Haruka told her companion via the communicator. "I feel a presence, but it's not moving yet."

Further down, Usagi and Makoto had met up with Ami to walk to school together.

"Does anyone know where Haruka's house is?" Makoto asked.

"No, I haven't asked." Usagi replied. "What are you going to do with her address?" she peered closely.

"I have to return this to her." Makoto pulled out the handkerchief Haruka left with her.

"The target has been confirmed." Kaolinite chuckled, waiting by a bus-stop as the three girls walked by.

"Hey!" Makoto chased after the handkerchief that wind had blown off from her hand. "Where did it fall?" she followed the cloth to a car-park. "Found it." she spotted the handkerchief under a parked car and reached her hand in to retrieve it.

The Daimon that had been floating in the air for a while then locked onto the handkerchief and embedded itself into it.

"What is that?" Makoto exclaimed, seeing the formed Daimon and stumbled back.

"I will take your Pure Heart." Scar shifted out from under the car.

"Makoto!" Usagi and Ami dashed to the scene.

"Let's transform." Ami pulled Usagi off.

"Moon Cosmic Power, Make Up!"

"Mercury Star Power, Make Up!"

"Blizzard Wind!" Sailor Mercury wasted no time in cast her icy gale at the Daimon, freezing its tendrils and stopping it from grabbing Makoto.

"What are you doing so early in the morning?" Sailor Moon posed with her Spiral Heart Moon Rod. "Get away from that girl."

"I'm already interrupted." Kaolinite hissed, hiding in an alleyway as she watched the fight. "For now, retreat, Scar." she instructed.

Jumping over the two Senshi, the Daimon made its getaway


After school, at Rei's place...

"A date?" Ami, Rei and Minako exclaimed in unison after Usagi told them about Makoto driving off with Haruka and Michiru.

"But it's with a woman." Usagi blinked.

"Did Mako-chan's preferences change?" Minako gasped.

"And it was with Haruka she went off with." Usagi piped in.

"No matter how attractive she is, I can't believe she's off chasing women." Rei sighed.

"That's not the problem!" Ami snapped. "We shouldn't leave Mako-chan alone. The enemy is after her Pure Heart Crystal this time."


In Kaiouzu Park...

Makoto was revering in the peaceful atmosphere with Haruka and Michiru was Scar attacked the Lightning Senshi.

Taking the tall Senshi by surprise, the Daimon wrapped Makoto using its cloth bindings from its body. "Your Pure Heart that looks up to your ideal woman," Scar drew Makoto close. "This time, I will..."

"Release her!" Haruka demanded, tossing a rock at Scar and knocking off the Daimon's mask.

"It's dangerous to throw rocks." Scar then knocked Haruka and Michiru into the bushes with a twirling ribbon from its arm.

"The interruptions have disappeared." Kaolinite chuckled. "Scar, take the Pure Heart from the girl."

The Daimon unraveled its wrappings to reveal the black star mark on the underside of its breast and shot out a beam of light to extract Makoto's Heart Crystal.

"Right according to plan." Sailor Neptune remarked in the bushes.

"I feel sorry for her, but we have to do this." Sailor Uranus noted.

"You're..." Kaolinite was shocked when the Heart Crystal was knocked out of her hands by the Sky Senshi's 'World Shaking' attack.

"Sorry, but we need the Talisman at any cost." Sailor Uranus stated, the Heart Crystal was safely in Sailor Neptune's hands.

"Scar, get rid of them." Kaolinite ordered and vanished.

"That's the end." Sailor Moon cut in as Scar and Sailor Uranus decked it out. "The villain that snatches away a pure maiden's heart. As a Sailor Senshi, I cannot forgive you. In the name of the Moon, I will punish you!"

"Flash Chain!" Sailor Venus let loose her light chain.

"Expanding Fire Stream!" Sailor Mars' stream of flames shot towards the Daimon.

Scar responded by forming clones of itself, using them as a wall to block out the attacks.

"This isn't a Talisman, either." Sailor Neptune informed her partner.

"Hurry and get it back in her." Sailor Uranus tossed the Hearty Crystal to Sailor Moon.

"Looks like they aren't doing very well." Sailor Neptune cast a look at the fight, Sailors Mars and Venus were keeping Scar occupied with their mid-range attacks.

"What do you say we lend them a hand?" Sailor Uranus grinned.

"Deep Submerge!" Sailor Neptune blasted the Daimon the back with her attack.

"Light Cannon!" Sailor Venus took the opening and fired off her light beam.

"Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!" Sailor Mars released the more powerful version of the 'Fire Dragon Bullet' attack and incinerated the Daimon's wrappings.

"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" Sailor Moon took out the Daimon.
