AN: Well, from my prediction, I think this is going to be the longest story that I've had so far. So, expect A LOT of chapters. I will be working my butt off day and night to get this finished. It's giving me a headache because I can't seem to type fast enough. *rubs temples* Hope you like it!~~~baby-blu-eyes



Chapter 8




The light left the room. Makoto sank into her chair. Rowen looked at them in disbelief. He didn't want to believe it. But, it seemed to be true. Ryo gazed down upon Makoto who looked horrible. Her eyes seemed different with new feelings in them. She ran her fingers threw her hair and then walked out of the room. They heard the bathroom door shut and the water quickly start.

"Rowen, we'll leave Makoto here with Mia while the rest of us go to get Sai. There is no way that I'm letting him stay there to be killed."

"No Ryo. You're staying here. I'm not going to let you get captured. Someone has to guard Makoto and that person is going to be you. Now, the other three of us will get Sai." Rowen then left out of the room and downstairs to tell the others of the news. Mia come out to hear the commotion.

"...Makoto open this letter to have a light come out. I was there to see their past and what happ--"

"Makoto's alright?" asked Mia.

"Yes. She went to go take a shower." Mia nodded.

"Sai has been captured and we need to go get him. Ryo is going to stay here with the two girls just incase something happens."

"Alright. Lets get going," said Kento as they then left out of the house... Makoto sat in the shower letting the water just fall onto her.

~Look inside yourself.~

"How am I to do that Ancient? These memories are confusing. Explain them to me."

~There is nothing confusing about it Makoto. You saw what the past was before you had a new life. I have seem the past and the future and now, you have to make your future come true like it was suppose to be. You could be with Ryo right now. In his arms. Or you could be with the Starlights, just trying to forget about it. When it comes down to it, do you want to be happy?~ She was silent for a moment.

"Thank-you Ancient. I understand fully now."

~Your welcome Makoto.~ She finished what she wanted to do and got out. She got dressed and then walked into her room. Her hair was placed up in her towel. She looked up to see Ryo still sitting in the chair. The letter was in his hand. She could now see writting on it. Before, it was just blank. She took down her hair and dried it some. It had some curls to it when it was wet. She placed the towel on her bed and walk over to Ryo. He looked up at her and offered her to sit on his lap. She sat down and looked at the letter.

Ryo and Maktoto,

Don't tell Yaten that you know your past. He wanted it to be a mystery to you but, you need it. Both of you did. I didn't want to see you go in different directions without trying to find out your past. Now you have your choices. As Setsuna had predicted, three of your fellow Ronins should be caputured by Tulpa. Leaving your two and Kento alone. The Starlights will aid you when and if help is needed.

-Taiki


Makoto looked at Ryo to see what his facal expression was. There was none. She was about to get up when his arms went around her waist. She turned her head to him to see his eyes looking into hers.

"We have to go save the others."

"Alright." He let her go as she quickly threw her hair up, placed on her shoes, then they left . Kento run up to them.

"You guys better transform. They have Rowen and Sage now. Something is going to happen and I don't know what!"

"Kento, lead the way." They disappeared. Makoto looked up to find herself in front of the tall doors that seemed to be open.

"You two better get ready to fight."

"Armor of Wildfire, Doa Chi!"

"Jupiter Eternal Crystal Power, Make-Up!" They stood ready. Ryo and Kento lead the way. Jupiter grabbed their shoulders. They stopped.

"Let me go first. There's something going on here."

"No." She walked past Ryo while Kento held him back.

"Just let her." It was dark. Suddenly, there was this loud noise, as if it was a gun. Flashes of lights went and then the main lights came on. Jupiter was holding her arm. She had been shot with something. Ryo started to run for her but stopped at her voice.

"Don't come any closer! It's a trap!" She looked up at someone laughing.

"Come out and show yourself!" yelled Ryo. Jupiter looked up to see someone to whom she thought they destroyed. Galaxia. Instead of gold armor, she had black. An evil smirk was upon her face.

"Surprised, huh Jupiter? Thought you saw the end of me, didn't you? Well, I have someone I think you might want to see Jupiter." Suddenly, out of the darkness was a chair. Someone was chained to it.

"Usagi!" By the time she took two more steps, the loud sounds went off. Jupiter was laying on the floor. The girl looked up from her chair.

"Jupiter!" she screamed. Galaxia gave a loud laugh. Jupiter slowly rose again.

"Don't move! Stay were you are Makoto! I'm coming to get you!"

"Stay where you are! Kento, hold him back." She took two more steps as the flashes went again. She picked herself up from the ground slowly.

"Makoto! Don't move!" Kento looked at the three Sailor Stars confused.

"Who are they?"

"Makoto, this future has changed some how. You're going to have to go threw obsticles that you went threw before when you were a senshi! This is one of them. Galaxia is one of them. Do you remember what senshi went threw this, just like you? Getting shot? You're getting all the pain of the other senshi thrown down at you," Maker said.

"Neptune." She took two more steps to have the flashes go off once more. Her body laid on the floor.

"Makoto!" Ryo pulled away from Kento who quickly tackled him to the ground.

"Didn't you hear her? She was basically saying she has to do this on her own." Ryo glared at him.

"If she dies then you're the first to follow." He pushed away from him and continued to run. He ran right to her hearing a clicking sound go off. Galaxia sneered.

"You may have beat this one. Wait until the next." He saw her push herself up and turn to him with a glare.

"I told you to stay there Ryo. One person harmed is enough. We don't need anymore."

"You gave them that letter, didn't you?" asked Healer with a glare.

"They needed it," said Maker.

"Stop fighting already and lets get going." Fighter walked past them and continued with Kento in front of them. Jupiter pushed Ryo away when he tried to help her up. Sadly, he didn't move one inch. She got to her face and looked to see Usagi still in the chair. She quickly went over to her. She went to grab the chains but, her hand went right threw her.

"She's fake! They tricked me." It suddenly disappeared. They continued to walk threw until she saw Prince Endyiom standing there. His eyes were plain. He had a sword in his hand.

"Moon." She started to glow green, her eyes went all emerald, and then the sword appeared. She grabbed it and looked at Endyiom. He went for her and they quickly started to fight. They all watched.

"Is that Mamoru?" asked Fighter.

"Yes. He was once turned evil," informed Maker. Her sword swung threw him. He was a fake person with a real sword. He then disappeared. They continued to walk. They walked up the stairs until they came to an end. Makoto opened the door to see fire. It was all around them. She saw Rei in the middle of it.

"I never knew she was afraid of fire."

"She's afraid of being burnt alive," said Maker. She walked threw it, not caring about being burt of not. Before her, someone made out of fire appeared. She pushed her sword at it to watch it fall into ash. Once she touched Rei, the fire disappeared along with her.

"Thank-you Makoto," she whispered before she disappeared. They went threw another door to see Ami. She was tied to a pole while the water started to rise up. She jumped in only to have something go up her. It was an octopus that was made of water.

"Rage of Fire!" Ryo's attack hit the creature, causing it to turn into steam. Jupiter swam over to Ami and toucher her.

"My your fear of drounding be placed away." The water and Ami disappeared.

~What if Ryo already has a girl?~ She heard the voice of Minako in her head.

"What?"

~Why didn't he say anything to you after your memories were returned?~

"Minako, what are talking about?"

"I think she's going crazy," said Kento.

~He didn't even hug you or at least kiss you. Does he really love you?~

"We were both in shock Minako! I know you're wrong."

~Am I really?~ She looked up to see Minako, the Princess of Venus, holding onto Ryo. Prince Ryo. His arms were around her as if they were lovers. She took a step back.

"No. It's not true."

"Makoto! Your fear is her fear", yelled Maker.

"Stop helping her! She needs to find this all out on her own," grumbled Healer.

"She's afraid of heartbrake," whispered Ryo. Jupiter took steps forward until she was in front of her. She touched her and watched her disappear. She walked into another room that had tons of clocks and screens around it. She knew who it was. Setsuna. With her time. There she was. She sat with Hotaru. Then she looked around again to see Michiru in there and Haruka. Confustion came to her.

"They're all afraid of time?"

"Passing too quickly. You could miss a lot of things in a time like that."

'This is way too easy,' she thought as she watched them disappear at her touch. The room suddenly disappears before her eyes as she looks around. They're in the middle of the room and everyone is in cages hanging from the roof.

"Princess of Jupiter, I will let your friends go if, you give yourself up," said Galaxia walking out to her.

"Makoto! Don't do it!" She looked up to see Fighter yelling at her.

"What happens if I don't?"

"After capturing you, I will kill your new friends one by one. Starting with your Prince." She looked up at the eight cages and sighed.

"I surrender."

"No! Makoto!" They all suddenly disappeared and reappeared in their living room. All of them were back in normals clothes.

"I'm going back," said Ryo. He was grabbed by Taiki.

"We have to plan first. Knowing them, it will be harder this time. There has to be another way to get in there without them knowing. Just sit down and wait a while, okay?" asked Taiki. He pulled away from him and walked away.
