Hi Everyone! Here is part five. Now that my break is over and I have to go back to work it will take longer to get my stories written. Anyway I will get this series written as fast as I can.

Dimension: Part Five
By
Angel Raye

"Annika," a gentle voice called.
Annika moaned and woke up. She saw that she was in Amy's office. Her parents and Amy were standing over her. "Mama," she mumbled. "What happened?"
"We were hoping you could tell us," Amy gently replied. "Your mother said you mentioned someone named Jove is trying to find everyone."
"I did not say that," Annika protested.
"Yes you did Darling," Raye insisted.
"I don't remember," Annika insisted.
"Are you sure princess," Chad asked.
"Yes Daddy I am sure," Annika replied.
"Amy why is she still coughing up that substance," Raye asked.
"I don't know," Amy sighed. "Annika do you think you can walk?"
"I think so," Annika replied. She tried to get up but her legs gave out. She was still very weak.
"I had better carry you to X-rays then," Amy told her. She picked Annika up and took her to the X-ray room.

A little while later Amy was examining the X-rays done on Annika. "I don't see anything here," she reported to Raye and Chad. "Her X-ray is perfectly normal."
"But she coughed up that slime," protested Raye. "How can her X-ray be normal?"
"Maybe it was just some left over," Amy replied. "We still don't know what that thing was that took the children."
"The knights are still looking into that," Chad said. "We still have not found any answers yet."
Amy helped Annika off the bed. "Get some rest," she told her. "We'll get to the bottom of this."

Gloria was gazing up at Ms. Ella's star. She had been busy talking about what had happened. "I don't know what is going on Ms. Ella," she sighed. "Ever since we got pulled out of that dimension I have no memory of I have been so scared all the time. Please tell me what to do."
"You should come with me," a voice behind Gloria said. Gloria turned and saw Ms. Ella standing behind her.
"Ms. Ella," she gasped. "But you're dead. You shouldn't be here."
"I came back to help you," Ms. Ella replied. She held out her hand. "Come with me."
Gloria hesitated for a moment. Then she reached over and took Ms. Ella's hand. It was icy cold. "You're not Ms. Ella," she hissed.
Ms. Ella laughed and morphed into a man dressed in black. "No but I am someone who knows you," he laughed.
"Jove," Gloria screamed. She pulled herself free and tried to get away. Her hair bow suddenly grew and wrapped itself around her neck. She gasped and began choking.
Jove continued to laugh. "You did not come with me so I must settle your fate." Gloria pulled the bow loose and screamed. An unseen force pulled her off her feet and spun her in the air. She screamed in terror.

"Gloria," called Mina dashing into the room. Gloria was lying on the floor screaming in terror. Her hands were wrapped around her neck. Mina gathered her daughter into her arms. "It's okay Darling I'm here."
"Get him out of here," Gloria screamed in terror. "He's trying to take me back."
"Who," Mina asked. "There is no one else in here."
Gloria looked around. The man was gone and her hair bow was where it should be. Collapsing into her mother's arms she began to cry hysterically.

That evening there was a Scout meeting in Raye's temple. Mina had just finished telling the others about Gloria.
"She was insisting that someone was in the room to take her back," Mina explained.
"Before Annika collapsed today she mentioned that someone named Jove is here to take everyone back," Raye added.
"Faith mentioned that name before she passed out," Haruka recalled. "She said that after Hope drew those pictures."
"Has any of the other children been acting strangely," asked Serenity.
"Maggie has been fine but today I just had this feeling that someone was watching her," Setsuna said.
"Do you know anything Setsuna-Mama," asked Hotaru.
Setsuna shook her head. "This dimension does not appear at the Gates of Time," she replied. "I cannot shed any light on this."
"Any other strange behavior," asked Serenity.
"Actually," Amy murmured. "At the bookstore today Ariel all of the sudden got terrified. I had to hold her all the way home. She was so scared that she shook violently. Ariel would not tell Greg or myself what was wrong."
"The only ones, who have shown some sign of remembering anything are Annika and Hope," Lita pointed out. "If there was a way to help them remember more."
"There is," Raye said. "I could use my psychic abilities to hypnotize them."
"I don't know if I want to put Hope through that," Michiru protested.
"Then I volunteer Annika," Raye stated.
Amy thought hard for a moment. "She has a session with me tomorrow," she told everyone. "Raye why don't you come. We'll try and hypnotize her."

A stranger stood outside the schoolyard watching the children play. Guessing by the size of the children he figured that it was the fifth graders. He knew who he had to look for. He scanned the playground. His gaze stopped on Daisy and Maggie who were playing hopscotch. He kept a close eye on them. It was only a matter of minutes now.

"Your turn," called Daisy.
Maggie began to toss her stone. She hopped through the squares. She suddenly felt a chill in the air. "Are you cold," she asked Daisy.
"All of the sudden yes I am," Daisy replied. She and Maggie looked around. Daisy suddenly spotted a man in black heading toward her. Terror froze her in her tracks. "Maggie," she whispered. "Look."
Maggie looked and gasped, "Jove."
"Here I am," he laughed. "I have come to take you back."
Maggie and Daisy felt themselves being pulled off their feet by an unseen force. A rift similar to the one in the palace ballroom appeared. Both girls screamed.
"Let them go," shouted a stranger. He held up a talisman and threw it at Jove. The rift disappeared along with Jove.
"Who are you," gasped Daisy.
"My name is Hiro," he replied. "I am here to help you."
"Girls what is all this about," asked the teacher running over to them.
"Someone tried to take us back," Maggie screamed in hysteria.
"He's after us," Daisy yelled.
"Who," asked the teacher in concern. She pointed to Hiro, "Him?"
"No he rescued us," Daisy replied.
"Come inside girls," the teacher commanded. "I think we should call your parents."

"This is ridiculous," Greg grumbled. "We have run so many scans on this thing and we are still no closer to finding out what it is."
"Not to mention we still don't know why it took the girls," added Asai.
"If only the girls could remember what it was," Ken sighed. "It might help us get to the bottom of this."
"At first I thought the children were all right but there have been some changes," Chad supplied.
"I know," agreed Gary. "Setsuna and Lita were both just called over to the school."
"Madelyn has been all right so far," Anthony muttered. "However Hotaru and I are both keeping a close eye on her."
"Let's just figure out a way to get this thing out of here," Ken said.
"And here is someone who said he can help us," Endymion and Serenity came in with a man dressed in black.
"I am Joe," he introduced himself. "I can tell you what you need to do."

A few minutes later all of the Scouts, minus Setsuna and Lita, and the Knights were in the conference room with the king and queen and Joe.
"So what is this thing," Haruka was asking.
"It's quite dangerous," Joe replied. "You must get it out of here or the children will be in danger."
"That's what we are trying to do," Greg pointed out.
"How can we protect the children," asked Hotaru.
"What is this evil presence I am sensing," Raye thought to herself.
"I suggest you let the children come with me for a while," Joe told them. "I can protect them."
"I don't trust him," Raye thought. "And I am not going to let him take my Annika."
"There has to be another way," Michiru protested.
"He is after something more than just the children," Raye thought. Another presence caught her attention. She looked over at the door and saw both Ariel and Madelyn had just arrived home from school. Both of them were staring at Joe with a look of terror in their eyes. Madelyn was very pale and shaking. Ariel was trembling violently. Raye heard a dribbling sound. She looked down and saw a puddle by Ariel's feet. "My goodness," Raye gasped to herself. "Ariel is so scared that she wet herself. Amy had her out of diapers right before she turned three." Raye reached over and nudged Amy. She pointed to Ariel.
"Ariel," cried Amy jumping up. She saw the puddle and gasped, "What did you just do?"
"Madelyn," Hotaru inquired. "What's wrong Darling?"
"H...h...him," gasped Madelyn pointing to Joe.
"What about him," asked Haruka.
"JOVE," Ariel screamed in terror.
"He's evil," Raye shouted. "He's the one behind all of this."
"Grab him," shouted Anthony and the Knights dove forward. Jove just laughed as a cloud surrounded him. He vanished.
"What is all this," Gary shouted in rage. Amy and Hotaru were frantically trying to calm their frightened children.
"We have someone here who can tell us," Lita replied from the doorway. Everyone looked up and saw Lita, Setsuna, Daisy and Maggie standing at the door. Standing next to them was a man they had never seen.
"I am Hiro," he explained. "And I was pulled into that rift as a child myself."
