Author's note: My friend forced me to call this character Bob (how original yes I know) I don't know why but um please don't ask. Besides the name please enjoy. I'm REALLY sorry for this little…dilemma but it's either this or have to suffer her bothering me the rest of my life. So um please don't review me badly because of it, but do review.

Chapter 10: Rescue

Mamoru sighed as he looked out the plane window; a vacation was just what he needed right now, "Usako," he whispered. She hadn't responded when he had told her of the leaving just smiled and wished him well. She had seemed so distant lately, so unattached. She wasn't her normal self, what had he done wrong? Why wasn't she looking up into his eyes anymore? She turned away when he tried to kiss her, that didn't seem like her. What if? He wouldn't let the idea cross his mind. She wasn't like that. She wouldn't do that to him, would never…

He slammed his fist against the armrest cursing himself for even thinking it. Still she seemed so…

He whispered her name again looking out the window as Japan disappeared from beneath him, and he drifted to sleep. Next time he would awake he would see the sparkling blue waters of the south pacific.

~~~§§§

He laughed, and it made her subconsciously shrink cowering at the voice that seemed too familiar to bare, "You'd like to know wouldn't you?"

"Sailor Moon?" Fighter asked softly, "Who is this?"

"I…I… I'm not sure," she whispered and stepped back falling into him. He caught her gently, and she lingered then stood again.

"Don't touch her!" he shouted and threw Fighter back into a wall.         

"Michiru!" Uranus screamed as the girl faded in her arms, "Michiru!" The pain was too much as she struggled to stand. She had loved her with everything she was and in that one single moment she was gone, "I'll kill you!" she charged at him drawing her sword, "Space Sword!" it hit him head on throwing him to the ground hard and opening a gash in his side.

"Damn you!" he threw her back into a wall as she struggled to stand.

"I will see you dead!" she shouted, "Earth Shaking!"

He turned the attack on her, and she passed out on the ground.

An injured Fighter and the paralyzed Maker was all that was left to defend the Moon Princess.

"Now, must you make this difficult?" he walked forward once more, "Just come with me, and your friends will be spared."

"Who are you?!" Maker demanded.

"I am…" he stopped, "A clone, of the Mamoru you know."

"A clone?" Usagi whispered.

"I was made in the time of the Silver Millennium, I do not know why. I was made for the soul purpose to spite my creator and take you as my own. To destroy the one called Sailor Moon the strongest protector of the Moon Princess. My name is… BOB!"

"…Bob?" Usagi wanted to laugh but held it in knowing the position he held (again gomen gomen gomen)

"Yes do you have a problem with that?!" he roared and used his dark magic to throw her against the wall.

She stood slowly, "Uh…no," she stuttered the shock of the name slowly fading. (I bet she doesn't feel nearly as stupid as I do I'm going to kill you Fuu kisama)

"Good moving on, come with me, I will spare your friends," he promised, and she muttered.

"Surrendering to…" she stopped as he raised his hand again, "You have to promise to let my friends go."

"I will," he nodded.

"Then do it now!" she screamed.

"I will have Nightsky do it when we leave," he smiled at her, but she stayed strong.

"I will not leave without seeing them safe."

"Fine," he muttered and melted the ice throwing the senshi to the ground as they coughed and choked on their knees trying to catch their breath, "Now," he summoned her forward, and she walked to him. As she did her sailor outfit was replaced by the long flowing dress of the Moon Princess.

"No!" the senshi leapt to their feet.

"Minna, stay back," she said firmly walking to his side.

"Princess what are you doing?" Rei asked softly.

"I couldn't let anything happen to you," she smiled as he transported them both out.

"No!" Fighter shouted to no avail; she was already gone.

~~~§§§

"Michiru," Haruka whispered as they sat near the Hino temple trying to think of a way to get their Princess back. There were tears in her eyes as she whispered the name, "Princess."

"Usagi-chan," Makoto added, "We have to get her back!" she stood and paced.

"But we have no idea where they're located," Minako shook her head.

"I don't care! We have to get her back!" Makoto shouted clenching her fists.

"This is all our fault," Ami said softly, "If we hadn't been so stupid and gotten ourselves caught she never would have sacrificed herself."

"Don't say that Ami-chan; she wouldn't want you to beat on yourself like that," Minako told her quietly.

"But it's true isn't it?" Ami stood, "We've got to find a way to get her back, someway…"

~~~§§§

Yaten struggled awake and found the other two watching him closely, "What happened?" he asked as he tried to sit up. The other two rushed to his side and helped him to sit.

"Sailor Moon gave herself to save her friends. We were too weak, and she was taken by the enemy," Seiya said quietly.

"What?" Yaten's voice was a harsh whisper, "She gave herself for them?"

The other two nodded, "We have to get her back," Seiya said determined, "She not only gave herself for them, but for us as well. He would have killed us."

"Did you…did you find out who he was?" Yaten stammered still shocked by this new feeling of respect he had for her.

"Yes, a clone of the Prince of the Earth," Taiki explained.

"Clone?" Yaten didn't understand.

"He wouldn't tell us why he was made, or anything but…"

"It's because he's not a clone," Taiki told them, and they shot their eyes towards him, "He's related or something. He is not what he says. I'm not sure what he is, but I know that he is not a clone. That is why there was no reason."

"Then why would he say that?" Seiya demanded.

"Because he wanted to gain Usagi's trust. If he was a clone of the Prince then she probably assumes she can find good in him. He is after all just a piece of the man she loves," Taiki said it softly, and Seiya scowled and looked away.

"Of course, that makes sense," he muttered.

"Now is the time that we join with the senshi," Yaten's words were barely audible. He couldn't believe he was saying this, "They will need us now more than ever."

~~~§§§

Ami looked up from her work. She had to find a way to get her back. She didn't even want to think about what he could be doing to her right now, "Dammit!" she screamed hitting her fists against the table as the Lights walked in.

The senshi looked up, but Ami kept her eyes down. She couldn't face them right now, not now that she had failed.

"You'll think of something Ami-chan," Minako assured her.

They had faith in her, all their hopes were placed on her shoulders. Usagi's life was on her now. She had to keep working. She nodded and looked back to the computer in front of her, "What if I followed…no that wouldn't work. If he had done anything but transport her away I would be able to trace him."

Taiki walked over to her and looked over the map in front of her and the computer screen, "There's a burst of energy when you transport right?" he asked, and Ami nodded, "Well what if you were to find that energy in another section of the town. You could look for that same burst and that would be where they ended up."

Ami thought it over and nodded, "I could try," she began working and traced the same energy to four different spots in the city. One of them was the place where they had fought, the other three were targets, "Here, here and here," she pointed the places out on the map for the senshi to see, "Thank you Taiki that was a great idea," she smiled at him, and he nodded.

She looked over to the door as Hotaru and Setsuna walked in, "We heard what happened. Well actually Hotaru told me," Setsuna said quietly.

"We're going to help find the Princess," Hotaru told them tears streaming down her cheeks.

"She…she promised to wait for us," Haruka said a lump heavy in her throat.

"I know," Hotaru whispered, and Setsuna tried to help her but they had all lost something.

"You three go here," Ami said after a silence, "You three," she turned to the Lights, "Take this section, and we," now she turned to the remaining inners, "We will go here."

"What about Chibi-usa-chan?" Rei asked softly.

"Luna is watching over her until we get back," Ami told them.

"Okay then let's go," Seiya said clenching his fists and getting ready to transform.
