Luna and Artemis sat in the control room pondering. They were very hungry but weren't quite sure what to do. They didn't have any money or anything to buy food with. They knew well enough what to eat from observing Usagi and Minako's apatites, but how to get it was another matter. Luna suddenly snapped her fingers and walked over to the computer smileing. "I'll just look up Usagi's PIN number and then we can use one of those ATM machines to withdraw enough cash to buy some food and a camp stove. We could use one in here anyways in case the Senshi get holed up during an attack." Luna's thin fingers flashed across the key board and soon Tsukino Usagi's personal identification number appeared on the screen. "This is so much easier with fingers rather than paws!" giggled Luna.
"About what happened last night..." said Artemis slowly.
"Yes?" Luna turned her torso to look at Artemis.
"Was that okay? Or was it just the moment, the battle..." Artemis trailed off, fearing Luna's answer. Dignified, reagle Luna wasn't herself last night.
"It was new and diffrent. Very strange and wonderful. I love you Artemis." Luna smiled.
"It wasn't the moment?" Artemis asked a redundant question. His eyes brightened in anticipation of the answer.
"As of now, no." Luna was so breathtakeing. Her black hair shown in the dim light, her eyes sparkled with happiness, her pale skin blushed with love. Artemis sighed happily and gathered her in his arms for a deep kiss.
The moment was broken when the computer beeped and the communicator link program automaticly opened itself. "What is it?" said Luna between breaths and kisses. Artemis reluctantly opened an eye, a great effort on his part, and then finished the kiss the were on before parting and mumbling that is was Usagi. Luna tore away and led Artemis out the door.
"What is it Usagi?" asked Luna concernedly. She felt conspicuous in her torn and ragged yellow dress, which in good repair was odd enough.
"Come on in. Mama isn't home." Usagi opened the door wider and hugged her friends. Once seated on the sofa, Usagi begain her story. "I went to see Mamouru because I've been very worried about him. He hasn't called or been showing at battles lately." Usagi then described her terrifying ordeal with her love.
"I see why you are so worried Usagi. This is a dilema. But we should really do first things first. Jadeite is realitivly weak compaired to whatever could turn Mamoru against you. What I suggest is hurry and get the Senshi out of a pinch and then they can help you save Mamoru. How long untill your mom gets back?"
"An hour. But she'll just have to get over this. My friends need help."
"Good. Now since you lost the moon wand and Imperium Crystal we'll have to go the controll room to transfer the power given off by your transformation to a teleport attack." Luna started for the front door when suddenly some one knocked on it. Luna and Artemis ran for the attic and concealed themselves. Usagi opened the door and saw Jadeite.
"It wasn't hard to find you Miss Moon. Or should I say Tsukino Usagi? Where is that Luna and her precious Artemis? I still have plans for them. I'm almost finished you see. I just need them back for a while."
"Get out creep. I'll show you the door." said Usagi, braceing herself for an attack and clutching her brooch.
"Really Sailor Moon. You don't have your precious wand and crystal and even before you couldn't defeat me with them. What do you expect to be able to achive?"
"I expect to defeat you somehow. MOON PRISM POWER!" Usagi transformed in a flash of yellow and pink light and stood before Jadeite.
"It's not you I want. I'll get to you in time moon brat. Now tell me where Luna and Artemis are. They must be somewhere. You know when I beat Luna she called for him? I think she was half delerious. Tell me where they are."
"Never."
"Then I'll tear the house appart. Nothing will be left standing."
Usagi gritted her teeth. The lives of her friends or haveing to explain to her already angry mother why they no longer had their house, their possesions, their lives. She would defend her friends somehow. "They are in the attic."
Jadeite suddenly disapeared and appeared behind Sailor Moon. His hands wrenched her arms up behind her back and pinned them there painfully. "Lead the way madam." he said smoothly. Usagi went slowly and carefully, her arms acheing and her mind raceing with how to get out of this mess. She approched the attic. She knew where Luna and Artemis had to be. They had to be in her father's old steamer trunk. She unlached it and the two came tumbling out. "I'm sorry." she said softly. "It'll be okay."
"Shut up Moon twit! You two, into the pod." Jadeite moved one hand from Sailor Moon's back to materialize a black crystaline pod. Luna blinked despreatly and then stepped into the pod drawing Artemis closer for protection. Jadeite suddenly jerked Sailor Moon twards him and then threw her foward, releaseing her hands so she crashed to the floor. The pod begain to flicker and disapear, crackling with an electrical barrier. Sailor Moon grunted and got up, flinging herself at the pod. She screamed as the electricity corsed through her body and her hands slipped off the slick crystal. Suddenly a white light surrounded Usagi and the crstal chiped around her fingers as they dug into the pod. It Jadeite fired several shots of energy at Sailor Moon and she cried out as her flesh was burned, but she didn't realese the pod. Jadeite teleported away and brought the pod with him.
"About what happened last night..." said Artemis slowly.
"Yes?" Luna turned her torso to look at Artemis.
"Was that okay? Or was it just the moment, the battle..." Artemis trailed off, fearing Luna's answer. Dignified, reagle Luna wasn't herself last night.
