fanfic, it's been a noose around my neck for too long!!!
Usagi rushed down the street, the Star Tower loomed in the distance. Usagi ran
faster as a clap of lightning illuminated the night sky. Rain began to pour
down on the city of Tokyo. Finally Usagi reached the tower and snuck into the
elevator. She leaned against the wall and looked at her watch again - 9:55-
'Wow I'm right on time,' she thought. She reached the top floor and to door
opened. Cautiously she stepped into the lone room. Her locket was clenched
tightly in her right hand, ready to transform if need be. Once at the center of
the room she scanned around and saw no one.
"Dimando?" She called out. She whipped around when she heard a rustle of
fabric behind her. She raised her locket,
"Moon-"
"Stop!" Dimando called as he knocked the locket from her hand. The locket went
skidding across the floor into a far corner. Usagi stared after her locket with
horror on her face.
"Have no fear Usagi, I will not hurt you. You need not transform." Usagi took
a step away from Dimando.
"What do you want Dimando?" Dimando smiled,
"Well I want you of course."
"Why did you take my friends? Where are they?"
"Patience Usagi, first of all, capturing your friends was not my idea. You can
thank Wiseman for that. I am just following orders. Besides, it leaves you
alone. I believe Sailor Mars is the only one left. As to where they are, well
they are in my citadel. Don't worry they are alright. I have no intention of
having them killed." Usagi let out the breath she was holding. 'At least they
are alive.' she thought.
"Why did you want me to meet you here Dimando?" Dimando laughed.
"Do I need a reason to want to see my loved one?"
"But there must be some other-" Dimando took a step towards Usagi and closed
the distance between them. His arms encircled her.
"Sweet Serenity, I missed you so much." Usagi panicked. Dimando chuckled and
released her. "I know you are not yet comfortable in my arms, but soon you will
be." Usagi looked up shocked. 'He just let me go?'
"Let go of my friends." Dimando sighed,
"I'm dreadfully sorry Usagi, but I cannot. I could bring you to see them."
"You would take me to your citadel?"
"In a second." he whispered. Usagi backed away,
"But I would have to stay there with you."
"Of course. Don't lie to yourself Usagi, you will be my Queen."
"Never!" Dimando brushed his fingers over Usagi's cheek and she pulled back.
Dimando lowered his hand slowly.
"Can't you see how much I love you." Dimando stepped back from her. "Farewell
Usagi, till we meet again. Also you might want to tell Rei goodbye." then he
disappeared into the shadows.
"No Rei!" Usagi rushed to the corner where her locket was and picked it up and
transformed. She ran to the elevator but it didn't work, she took to the stairs
and ran down them as fast as she could.
At the temple Rei rushed around the corner to be faced with Rubius and Cooan.
Yuuichirou lay unconscious behind them.
"What did you do to him?" Cooan laughed
"That little boy? He'll live, but we're not to sure about you." Rei snapped
two charms in her fingers and launched then at Rubius and Cooan.
"Mars Star Power!" Rei transformed and got ready for battle. After clawing the
charms off their foreheads Rubius and Cooan advanced towards Sailor Mars. Mars
dodged an attack of dark fire from Cooan but was hit in the stomach by Rubius'
attack. She feel to the ground.
"I will not loose so easily." Flames gathered around Mars as she called upon
her newest and most powerful attack. A massive ball of fire appeared before
her.
"Mars....Atomic....Blast!!!" The swirling ball of flames hurdled towards Rubius
and Cooan. Cooan jumped to the side and was barely burned. Rubius' arm was
badly scorched. Mars collapsed to the ground.
"Moon Sceptre Hallation!" Rubius was knocked off his feet by the sudden attack.
Cooan rushed forward and grabbed Mars and opened a portal.
"No!" Sailor Moon rushed forward to stop Cooan. Cooan laughed and blasted
Sailor Moon with her dark fire and disappeared into the portal. She reappeared
and helped Rubius into the portal. Sailor Moon rushed towards the portal to try
and follow them but it closed before she could enter. Sailor Moon sank to her
knees and cried. Now she was all alone. It was just a matter of time before
Dimando came to capture her. What would happen then, after she was captured.
Would Wiseman have her friends killed? Dimando would never let that happen. He
knew how much her friends meant to her. Wait what about that dagger. Whomever
it belonged to much be a friend. They stopped that Black Moon monster from
getting her, and the inscription on the dagger did say, 'For the Princess.' She
was the Princess after all. But how would she find this person. 'There was
also that man who shot that arrow when Makoto was taken. It must be him.' she
thought. The biggest problem was staying safe until she found the mysterious
stranger and convinced them to help her rescue her friends. Sailor Moon stood
up and went to Yuuichirou and helped him up. She made sure his was alright and
assured him that she would find Rei for him then left him in the care of
Grandpa.
Once Sailor Moon was out of sight she transformed back into Usagi. She walked
down the street in the rain deep in thought. How was she going to locate this
person, she had no idea. Another thought burned Usagi's mind. What if she had
never gone to meet with Dimando? She would have been at the temple at the time
of the attack on Rei and she could have stopped them. Was that why Dimando
asked her to meet him? It didn't make sense because Dimando warned her about
Rei. If the elevator had worked Usagi would have had enough time to stop Rubius
and Cooan from taking Rei. Usagi reached her house and walked right up to her
room. She lay on her bed and cried. She was never alone. Even at the
beginning there was Luna. For the first time she had to go into a battle alone
and it terrified her.
