1.1.1 Distrust - Chapter 3
"Get away from her!" said Sailor Iris who stood between Rei and a giant monster. Rei obviously had passed out and was lying helplessly in the corner when Luna arrived. Luna quickly ducked behind a trashcan so she could spy on the young hero.
Sailor Iris flew at the monster and started punching and kicking it
"Maybe Lita's right." Thought Luna to herself. "Why would she be protecting Rei if she wasn't on our side?"
"Rei!" shouted the rest of the scouts as they came running in with Artemis. Sailor Venus ran over to Rei as the rest of the scouts joined Sailor Iris in her fight.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" shouted Sailor Mercury.
"Moon Scepter Elimination!" followed Sailor Moon.
"He's dusted." Said Sailor Jupiter as she gave Sailor Moon a high five.
A dark figure appeared behind Jupiter and Sailor Moon when they weren't looking. "Look out!" shouted Sailor Venus who still hadn't revived Rei.
The two girls jumped out of the way just in time. "Who are you?" asked Sailor Jupiter as she approached the dark figure.
"Just call me Mysteria." Said the figure as it curtseyed. They couldn't really tell if it was curtseying because it was hiding in the shadows. "I see you have disposed of #236."
"He didn't stand a chance!" said Sailor Mercury.
"I don't care. He was weak. I hate you Sailor Girls! That is why I have tracked each one of you down to destroy you one by one! I'll teach you to mess with our plans!" Then she disappeared without a trace.
Rei stirred and opened her eyes. "What happened?" she managed to say.
"The monster appeared behind you and knocked you down. I managed to transform and hold him off until the other scouts got here." Said Sailor Iris.
When everyone had turned around, Luna walked over to Rei and hopped on her shoulder. "Did you see her transform?" she whispered into Rei's ear.
"Geez, Luna!" whispered Rei in an angry tone. "Give her a break! If it wasn't for her, I'd probably be dead from that stupid monster."
"I know." Whispered Luna in defense. "I just wanted to know if you saw her transform!"
"What does that have to do with anything anyway?" asked Rei. "I didn't actually see her transform, but I know she did!"

"Our next target as an important member of the Sailor Team. At least I hope she is." Said Mysteria as she sat down in her throne. "Let's kill her first."
"I'll take the assignment." Said the monster that stood before her.
"I knew I could count on you, #348!" said Mysteria with a short laugh. "I hope you're ready, Sailor Team, this next attack won't be a failure!"

"Hey Mina?" said Tamara as she walked out of the ice cream parlor with her friend.
"Yeah?" said Mina after looking up from her ice cream cone.
"Does Luna like me?" said Tamara as she looked down. "I don't think she trusts me."
Mina's face softened. She knew how Luna felt about Tamara. She couldn't see it, though. 'She's such a nice person! There's no way she could ever be connected to any evil force!' then she finally answered her friend. "Of course Luna likes you!" she said with a forced smile. "You're new is all. I think she wants to know you better."
Fortunately, Tamara couldn't see through her fake smile. "Thanks." She smiled back.
"Hey, Tamara?" said Mina. "How come you never use your powers when you're around us. I mean, we never see you do anything that proves you're a real scout."
"Well." Said Tamara as she realized that more people distrusted her than she thought. "Remember when I said I was given extra-ordinary powers that were so super-powerful, they could destroy the world?"
"Yeah."
"Well, if I used them in battle, I could destroy the earth. That's why I never use them when fighting." She hoped Mina believed her.
'That makes sense.' Thought Mina. 'I wonder why Luna didn't think of that.' She smiled and looked at her friend. "I never thought of it that way!"

'I can't believe it!' thought Tamara as she sat down on her bed in her hotel room. She had just gotten back from her outing with Mina. 'I can understand Luna not liking me, but Mina? Why can't they just believe me? Am I that distrustful? I mean, my own friends!' she started to cry. 'I was hoping I could be their friends again.' She looked at her image in the mirror. Her long strawberry-blonde hair had lost it's usual curl and there were tear stains down her cheeks. She blinked and wiped her eyes.
'I guess they don't want me here.' She choked and started crying again. 'Maybe if I leave, they'll be happier.' She got out her suitcase and started packing. 'I don't care what they think; maybe I can go somewhere else, somewhere where I'm wanted! All I wanted was to be their friend!' Then she left her room to go check out. 'Well, thanks for the warm welcome, you guys!' with that, she hailed a taxi and left.
