Uranus pulled her strength together and got up. Her fuku all torn up from being hit and bleeding.
"Ouch!" She said staring at her still bleeding wound.
She detransformed and walked slowly home. It was already starting to get dark. Haruka didn't realize how long she had fought Kiwikiwa, Talked with Pluto and Saturn and walked to her apartment. She took off her clothes and got into her Jacuzzi bathtub. Haruka had this put in for her and Michiru's pleasure. She cringed at the thought of losing her love.
As she sat in the water, she yelled out as pain shot through her. Her wound was deep and she needed to get help. Haruka picked up the phone and dialed Setsuna.
"Konnichiwa, Meioh Setsuna residence."
"Setsuna…I need help…. and fast…"
"Haruka!? What's wrong?"
"I was hit remember?"
"Ara…gommen ne. I'll be right there."
"Arigatou…" Haruka dropped the phone and grabbed her wounded side. Setsuna appeared with Hotaru. They ran to Haruka. Setsuna hung up the phone.
"Haruka-papa, where does it hurt?" Hotaru stared at Haruka who was naked on the floor holding her side.
"Here, let me see, onegai." Haruka looked into Hotaru's eyes, and saw a completely different person than before. She turned over to reveal a gaping wound. Setsuna gasped as Hotaru placed her hands over the wound. Haruka ringed, but slowly felt better. Her wound was getting better but Hotaru could only do so much.
"That's all I can do. You need rest Haruka-papa."
"Hai. Arigatou, Hotaru-chan." Haruka said, as she felt tired and exhausted. Setsuna carried her to her bedroom. She wrapped Haruka's wound, put clothes on her and placed her in her bed.
Haruka was grateful, but never showed it. She fell asleep in her bed and was off in dreamland.
* You're too late! You can't stop me! * Kiwikiwa disappeared with Neptune in her arms.
* iie! * Uranus shouted as she clenched her side. Uranus woke up sweating and yelled.
"iie!!"
"Nani onai? What's wrong?" Setsuna asked concerned.
"This nightmare keeps playing over and over again in my head. It won't stop!"
"Well, we need to find her." Setsuna said placing a concerned hand on Haruka's. Haruka looked at Setsuna, she knew she was doing everything she could at the moment. Haruka and Setsuna knew that this monster was very different than any other on the Moon Kingdom. They need to analyze the situation. She used two attacks already.
"What were the attacks?"
"One was a ball of energy with electricity, but the other one was * Dark Energy Blast * It shot a ball around Ne…Neptune and I and when we tried to move, it shot bolts of energy at us."
Haruka said, tears starting to well up in her eyes again.
"Don't worry, we'll get Neptune back." Setsuna said trying to comfort her friend. Hotaru ran to Haruka and carefully gave her a big hug. Haruka welcomed this because she needed some support.
"I love you, Haruka-papa."
"I love you too Hotaru-chan."
She squeezed Hotaru tighter. She liked Hotaru better than Saturn; but then again, they were two different people.
It was getting late, but Setsuna and Hotaru took turns watching Haruka during the night. Haruka occasionally stirred. She seemed a little peaceful but woke up many times during the night. Each time Setsuna and Hotaru assured her that it would be all right. She would hold her side a little and go back to sleep. Suddenly, Haruka sat up in bed.
"Ahh!!"
"Nani onai?" Setsuna asked.
"Neptune's hurt, someone's hurting her. I can feel it!"
"Your bond is strong with her huh?"
"Hai." Haruka said still clutching her side.
"Can it help you to find her?"
"I don't know. We just realized we can read each others minds."
"Well, try to think the question, * Neptune, where are you? *, Then read her mind and see if she answers."
"I'll try." Haruka said concentrating on Neptune. She connected and asked the question. * Neptune, where are you? I need to find you. *
Neptune heard this in her head and tried to gather up what energy she had left to answer. She finally got up enough energy and responded to Haruka.
* I'm in a dark castle somewhere in another dimension. Have Pluto scan through time and space to find the dimension…Hurry Haruka… * Neptune was cut off because of pain. Haruka felt this pain and doubled over in pain. Haruka could feel Neptune getting weaker.
"We have to hurry. She doesn't have much time left. URANUS PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!"
"PLUTO PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!"
"SATURN PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!"
"Neptune said for you to…"
"I know, I heard her."
"Nani!?"
"I have a bond with each of you too. No time to explain now. Let me scan time and space."
"Hai." Uranus said hopeful.
Pluto came back and had found something.
"I have found her. She's in the future. Kiwikiwa lives on Saturn in the future."
"Nani!?", Saturn said confused, "How can that be? That's my home…"
"I know Saturn. Some things you just aren't suppose to know." Pluto said turning away as not to look into Saturn's childish eyes. Saturn looked like she was going to cry. Why? They didn't know. This was unlike her. Saturn was usually cold to most people. She was starting to scare Uranus.
"Saturn, pull yourself together, we need to be ready to help Uranus when she finds Neptune!"
"Hai!" Saturn said with tears in her eyes.
Uranus stood up slowly as not to open her almost healed wound.
"I'm leaving. I'll call when I'm there."
"Hai. Good luck Uranus."
"Arigatou, Pluto." Uranus teleported out of her apartment. She ran as fast as she could through the time gate at which Pluto gave her the key for. She flew through space, until she landed on Saturn. She didn't see the castle, but could feel Neptune closer.
* I'm here. Guide me to you Neptune. *
* Uranus!? *
* Hai. *
* The castle is in the middle of the planet. But Uranus, be careful, the castle is heavily guarded. Watch where you're… *
Another shot of pain ran through Uranus' body. Kiwikiwa must have found out about our telekinesis. This blow was to her face though. Kiwikiwa must have on rings because Neptune was scraped pretty badly. Uranus kept running, like the wind, to the middle of Saturn. When she got there she could seethe castle standing tall. It was black, stone, and an evil force could be felt. Uranus knew this wouldn't be an easy task. Two guards stood guarding the front gate.
* Heavily guarded? This is nothing. *
Uranus looked up, and saw about ten or fifteen more guards outlining the top of the gate.
* Oh, ok, now I get it. *
She quietly snuck behind a bush and was thinking of her next move.
* Neptune, do these guards have any powers, or are they human? *
* The ones guarding the gates are human, but the ones guarding the throne room and all other important rooms have dark powers. *
* Arigatou, Neptune. I'm coming for you. *
* Be careful Uranus! *
* I will…I promise. *
Uranus dashed off to a closer bush.
She was now right beside one of the guards guarding the front ate.
"WORLD SHAKING!" Uranus yelled.
The two guards turned around just in time to see Uranus step out of the bush and glare at them. They screamed in agony as the yellow ball of energy hit them. The guards on top of the gate were so far up; they didn't hear the screams of the guards below. This was a good thing because Uranus didn't want to waste her energy on the other humans, if they couldn't even defend themselves. She was ready to fight a real fight.
