Sailor Moon awoke and tried to get up. She realized that she was already upright, but was suspended in some deep red goo, it covered her entire body. Luna and Artemis. She had betrayed them. The very thought sent a surge of adrenaline through her body. She had to get free, save them and her friends. She couldn't let them down since it was all her fault. Suddenly she felt very drained. This goo... it must absorb energy surges. She had to keep herself calm. She looked around and saw that Luna and Artemis were in some similar goo nearby, only six meters away.
"Time for a little more energy please." Said Jadeite as he appeared from no where. He shot a bolt of energy at Artemis and Luna screamed. So that was Jadeite's dirty little game, tortureing one to gain energy from the other, letting them rest and then reverseing. He had taken those on earth with the most power and was goning to drain them. But for what purpose? Sailor Moon forgot the energy drain and struggled against the rubbery goop. Her arm tore free and she tried to pry herself from the ooze, but the stuff only reatatched itself an continued sapping her strength. The burns on Usagi's left arm stung bitterly as the goo seeped into her flesh. Luna's eyes widened with the full scope of horror before her. Even Sailor Moon was helpless...
Mamoru awoke on the floor, sweating profusely. His lips tingled and he smelled the faint scent of berries. Berries...he had smelled that scent before. And why were the pillows on the couch messed up? Strange things had been happening lately, he hadn't sensed anything about Usagi, he had been wakeing in strange places, things would be moved in the apartment. And longer and longer periods of time between waknesses had been passing. As Mamoru fluffed one of the pillows absent mindedly, a strong scent of berries came forth and Mamoru's mind reeled. Images of a red haired woman and an ancient palace with beautiful gardens...and the Earth in the distance. What was going on? Mamoru's mind calmed and he sat on a chair away from the couch. The woman with red hair reminded him of someone. But that scent kept rushing into his head and he couldn't think quite straight. Suddenly his eyes fell to a book on the coffe table. A book he had purchased a few months ago when he had been searching for the Imperium Silver Crystal. A book on gems. Mamoru snatched it and flipped through the index untill he saw a word that jolted his mind. Beyrl...
The scent of berries diminished and Mamoru stood straight up. Beyrl was back from the dead and haunting his dreams. Fufilling her own. No wonder he had the sense of liveing in a nightmare. He was. It was like the time when he was brainwashed and lived in the Negaverse. Shit...
"Zoicite! I agree with you completely. The Queen is getting way over her head with Endymion around. She seems diffrent. But she has to keep to the misison. She's doing fine all right but her mind is definantly on him and not our plans." said Malacite, tugging nervously at his shirt collar.
"I know baby. But right now my mind isn't on the mission either." Zoicite looked coyly at Malacite and smiled. Malacite sat down on the cushions quickly and stared into Zoicite's eyes. At that moment they kissed passionetly.
Why was this comeing into his head? A memory of something overheard from shadows. Now that Mamoru was armed with knowledge he only had to figure out what was going on. But he felt himself falling asleep, the warmth of the chair pulling him into a daze.
"I told you I'd be back soon darling." cooed the red haired woman, bringing some flowers to Mamoru.
Mamouru wanted to say coldley that he had figure some of things out, but he held his toung. It wasn't time to play that ace. Instead he moved foward and took one of the huge purple blossoms and tucked it behind Beyrl's ear and then kissed her on the forehead.
"Thats all I get for some flowers?" whined the queen with big eyes.
"I'd rather just walk and look at the others and think about you." said Mamoru, racking his brain for all the suddenly vanished phrases he so often used on Usagi.
"I want you to do me a favor angel, thats all." Beyrl was looking more and more like a puppy with heartache each moment.
"What?" asked Mamoru gently.
"Get me the Imperium Silver Crystal from your world." the auburn haired woman whispered to the dark haired man and then nibbled on his ear a little.
"What ever you want."
