***Chapter Six***
"PUU!!" Where are you?" Rini cried. "PUU!!"
"Is that you, Small Lady?" Setsuna asked in a whisper.
Rini walked around in the mist, which she was familiar with, but for some reason she couldn't find Pluto. Probably because she was panicked about what she saw. She bumped into something solid. "PUU!" Rini cried. "Ohmigosh! Back in Tokyo, the past I mean. There's- -"
"Small One, slow down. Start from the beginning."
Rini went from the beginning, where she met Rayne, towards the weird way Serena was acting, and down to the end where she found out Rayne was possessing Serena to trap all the scouts.
"I see…" Sailor Pluto trailed off. She looked like she was thinking. "In your trips to the past, Small Lady, you haven't really changed anything. This is because you cannot change the past. But…"
"But we can go into the future, destroy Rayne, and then everything will be better?" Rini asked in her most hopeful voice ever.
"No, I'm afraid not. If I remember right, you said Rayne was from the dimension Lyeo. She has a power source. I'm guessing that the crystal Rayne was holding when you walked in is her power source. You are also partially right about going into the future. You have to get your mother, Neo Queen Serenity, I'm afraid I cannot depend on you to do this by yourself. Neo Queen Serenity has the Imperial Silver Crystal." Setsuna stated. "I will explain the rest of the plan once you and Queen Serenity come here."
Rini nodded her head. Setsuna moved past the gate and let Rini pass.

(Inside the Crystal)
"Mars…Fire Ignite!" Raye cried. "It's no good. The crystal just absorbs anything we throw at it. I think…this is the end. I saw Rayne cast Serena into a sleep, and Rini disappeared." Sailor Mars turned back into Raye. And all the other scouts did the same.
"Well, if Rini disappeared, and she obviously isn't here," Mina said with a matter-of-fact voice, "then where is she."
Ami jumped up with surprise. "She went back to the future…I think she left because she maybe knew it was the end."
Raye muttered.
"What? NOW you decide to have a conversation with yourself. I've never known you to have a nervous break down. But no- - - - NOW you decide to have one." Mina continued to talk. She stopped for a while. "Gosh, this is like talking to a wall…"
"Well, I guess there's nothing we can really do. We can wait, for who knows what, or…" Lita grabbed some snacks out of her backpack. "We can eat while we wait." She continued, trying to sound cheerful, but failing miserably.

"Where did that kid go?" Rayne said sounding frustrated. "She was right here!" Rayne tore apart Serena's room trying to look for Rini. There was a knock on the door.
"Serena?" The voice came. "Have you finished cleaning your room?"
Rayne looked around. She didn't feel like getting into a discussion with Serena's mother. She carefully lifted everything off the ground up and put them in their proper place. "Yes, my room is clean!" Rayne said, trying as hard as she could to sound like Serena, and was very successful.
"It better be," Serena's mother said. "I'll check it letter. I'm going to the store; Sammy is at his friend's house. He'll be back in an hour; I should be back before then though. Be good!"
"Oh…" Rayne muttered under her voice, "why wouldn't I be? I'll get that little brat if it's the last thing I do!"
