Simply Pawns in a Game of Life
chapter one
rated: PG... PG-13... nothing too bad minus a few swear words and a little sexual content... you know... those nasty, nasty cell guards that attempt to rape their victims... *shrugs* If you rode a bus in middle school or high school, you would have heard worse. I know I have...

Setsuna opened her groggy eyes as a sharp, unbearable pain hit her side. She was in pain, so she wasn't dead. Alive, breathing, and in pain were all she needed to know to understand that Saturn hadn't killed her.
The senshi of time attempted to sit up, but the pain and dizzyness overcoming her, she decided it would have been a smart idea to stay still.
Slowly opening her eyes after the wave of dizzyness, she gasped. She was on top of a cot that had been held up only by chains connecting to a wall in a small, pitch-black cell of a jail of some sort. She wasn't all too happy about it as well.
"Where the hell am I?" Setsuna screeched out, eyes red in fury. An indignant voice from outside her cell snorted.
"Shut it, prisoner. You'll be able to talk when you're wanted to speak. In the meantime, it's better you shove a sock into that pretty little mouth of yours," a male yelled.
Setsuna narrowed her eyes. "I talk when I want to. You can't force to me be quiet," she yelled back, glaring at her cell door. A sarcastic laugh followed.
"You want to make that a bet, Koibito? I could find something to shove in your mouth if you won't be quiet. And I rather like that idea," he laughed. Setsuna cringed and closed her mouth. She refused to be raped or forced into anything she didn't want to do by this idiot guarding over her.
*************
Milliardo sighed. It was one AM. He was waiting for the stupid General to show up. He was ready to go to bed.
Finally, a female officer walked up to him. "The General has gone to bed, but left you orders. It seems that a rather large Guerilla group off the coast of Japan has taken in some sort of captive. We normally wouldn't bother with these situations, but when the prisoner had been found, large blasts of light were followed, as if some force were protecting her. You and your group of Preventors were asked to look into this in the morning. Sleep tight," the officer commented, adding the last comment sarcastically. He sighed. It would be one adventure to get the captee back.
************
Setsuna woke up to a pounding headache and a rather dull pain in her stomach. It hit her now that she hadn't eaten in the last 48 hours and that she was starving. The guard from in front of her cell grunted. "And the bitch awakens," was all that she heard before turning away. Even if he had a feast waiting for her, it would most likely be poisoned.
"Akutenshi wants to see her. Alive," another taunting voice echoed through from the front of her cell. Setsuna let out an indignant snort.
"I'm well aware of that. And she will be alive. I'm just making sure she won't be able to escape. And if I can't charm her, I'll force her," her cell guard snorted back. Had she the strength, Setsuna would have laughed.
"What charm?" she croaked out, her throat dry. A bang was heard from the outside world.
"Shut it, bitch. Remember what I said earlier? Either you keep it shut or I'll help?" the guard asked. The dry sound of a "whack" was heard.
"Baka... you are gunna kill her at this rate. I'll go get some water and bread for her," the stanger commented, footsteps fading away. She could already tell that this second stranger was better than the asshole of a guard she had already. It was at these times she wished her staff was above his head.
*********
Milliardo rubbed his sleepy eyes. He had slept very little last night, and the meeting from before was continuing.
"Milliardo-san, what do you think about all of this?" Quatre asked from his seat at the meeting table. Obviously, the blonde Arabian didn't want to be caught in the middle of this one.
"I think that we've been assigned a new mission," Milliardo grumbled, under his breath, but much to his dismay, Wufei, Heero, and Trowa all caught the last statement.
"We've WHAT?" all three yelled out in agony. Milliardo nodded.
"Last night I was told that the general says a rather large Guerilla group has a very powerful and majestical hostage and that we need to go and find the hostage and take her- where's Duo?" Milliardo asked, noting the bishounen with the long braid was missing.
All eyes turned to Hilde, who had been joining the meeting at the moment. She blushed. "Well... you see... once every while, well... Duokindasneaksintoanenemybasetoseeifhegetscaughtornotandheheardaboutthehostageanddecidedtohelpthemout," Hilde commented, as fast as she could go. Heero growled.
"Duo no baka... Shin'e!" he snarled, banging his fist on the table. Duo had never taken well to logical thinking, and STILL hadn't taken well to logical thinking.
Une snorted. "I still say we ambush them and make them pay," she snidely commented, leading into another fight with Noin. The two had never been too crazy about each other. Milliardo, as well as Relena, Quatre, and Sally, banged their heads upon the table, quite out of character. They were all wishing the meeting was over.
***********
Setsuna poked at the bread that had been brought to her. She poked at it again. It wasn't moving, so at least that was a good thing. And her water was a normal color. And it didn't smell. That was also a good thing.
She picked up the bread and broke it in half. She jumped back, while the pain hit, as a long, metal something dropped to the floor. A knife. Her eyes grew wide in amusement. "Wow... some people are idiots, but killing me like this?" she joked, picking it up and fingering it.
A banging was heard on her door as she quickly dropped the knife down her shirt; the supposedly only safe place to keep it. She figured the man that stood in front of her was her guard. He wore some type of military uniform and had shaggy black hair, an unshaven face, and looked like he had one too many beers and not enough time to sleep it off.
"Come on, bitch. General Akutenshi wants to see you," he growled, grabbing her arm and yanking her along, not caring about the gash in her side that had recently been turning odd colors. A cut was supposed to be red or black, not green.
Soon, other soldiers had met up with her guard, as if too keep her from running away. A certain soldier with long brown hair put up in a braid winked at her. She noticed a smile from him before she was tossed into a dark room, landing on her cut side and fighting to keep her consciousness.
***********
A cold, dark voice laughed menacingly as she watched through a viewing screen. Setsuna was fighting to barely keep alive. And from the looks of it, only at a drastic change of fate would the girl survive. She had little food and water, and the poison from the youma's cut was working.
"Eternal Sailor Moon, Super Sailor Uranus, and Super Sailor Saturn, come here," the voice called out coldly. Glittering of gold bracelets hit what little light was in the room as the three stepped foreword. The three senshi no longer had tiaras, but instead, wore a golden bracelet on each arm. It was Galaxia's trademark.
"I have found the senshi that has betrayed you. When I captured you and took you to my side, I wasn't able to catch the one that betrayed you. She left you to guard the gates while you were left alone to fight me. I captured you, and gave you power, but she continued to fight. Now, it is your chance to get revenge. Find the soldier of time, daughter of Chronos, and capture her, make her pay as you did. And make sure this time," Galaxia eyed the senshi of Saturn, "that she dies."




Chapter one is finally complete! YAY! I'm surprised I got people to actually reply to my prologue... I was afraid nobody would read it! ANYWHO! I hope this answered the question of those who were wondering why the senshi betrayed Setsuna.... they didn't... Galaxia did. Remember what happened in the Stars series with Uranus and Neptune and all? Galaxia gave them golden bracelets and they became enemies of the senshi, working for Galaxia? Well... Galaxia captured the senshi and all, except Setsuna, and used her evil powers to brainwash them!!! OOOHHHH!!! DiC word... brainwash... hehehehe... Gomen nasai once again, minna-san, and this is Achicagoil signing out. R&R just for me!!!!
