Chapter 10: Uncertainty
"Where are they?" Serena asked worried as she began to pace the ground in front of the mall and the inners and Ronins. "They should be here by now."
Mina sighed a bit sad. "Maybe she isn't coming after all. Knowing the outers you wouldn't be surprised."
Before any could speak they heard an angry voice and looked up to see Lita glaring at a smirking Amara. "I'm never getting in a car with you ever again! I told you to slow down five times. Five times!" She lifted her hand up at Amara's face.
"Sorry princess." The tall blonde said with an amused grin. "But you, yourself said you didn't want to be late."
Lita intensified her glare. "Don't try to pull that crap Amara."
Amara only smiled. "Like I said, sorry princess."
Michelle, Hotaru and Milany giggled as they watched the two women. Milany turned to look up when something caught her eyes. They grew wide with joy as they landed on her father. She quickly let go of her mother's hand, which caused Lita to look at her little girl, before running towards him. "Daddy!"
Amara almost immediately narrowed here eyes in anger as she watched the blond man pick up his daughter. She still held everything against him and wasn't going to change her mind, ever.
Lita's smile slowly disappeared as looked at the father and daughter, who were now busy talking. Well it was more like Milany talking and Sage listening closely with a smile on his face. A sudden thought crossed her mind as she watched them. Sage was going to leave. She knew it. They both came from different world and he couldn't stay here. She knew he was going to leave. Then why did she accept his proposal? She was only putting her self in trouble. And she knew Milany was already attached to Sage. She would be broken hearted when her father would leave. She didn't want to see that. Maybe it was better off staying away from each other.
As the group reached the inners, Lita's smile was back. "So what's up?" She asked.
"Well, let's go shopping!" Serena spoke as she giggled.
Everyone nodded. Sage who sensed something wrong with Lita placed Milany down and watched as she ran to Ken who was walking towards the building. As Lita was going to pass him he grabbed her arm telling her to stop. Amara seeing this frowned and stood her grounds refusing to leave to the dismay of Michelle.
Sage ignored her and turned Lita around to face him. His eyes gazed into hers worriedly before actually speaking. "What's wrong Lita?"
The brunette shook her head slowly. "Nothing is Sage let's just go." She told him.
Sage looked at her for a moment before sighing. "Lita I know you. Something's wrong, but if you don't want to say then its ok. Just know that I'll be here if you need me ok?"
Lita immediately pulled way from him as if touching her burned her. "No you won't Sage."
"What?" The blond man asked surprised. As he looked at Amara and Michelle he knew they didn't know what was happening. "What are you talking about? Of course I will."
"No you won't Sage." Lita repeated. "Remember this is not your world. You can't stay here. You'll be leaving I know it and I…Milany will be heartbroken…" Before she could say any more her eyes narrowed and she quickly turned around. She had felt something evil a few seconds ago and knew what was going to take place in a few minutes.
"Lita?" Michelle called to the brunette confused.
"Get ready." Lita whispered and almost immediately the two outers had their pens in there hands.

Mako dropped her clipboard as a shock went through her body. Her smile that she had giving to Seiiche disappeared into a frown. 'Can't they ever stop!' Her mind yelled in anger as she referred to the threat that was now attacking her sister.
Seiiche frowned worried as he looked at Mako. They were talking when all of the sudden she had dropped her clipboard and lost her smile that he loved seeing. "Mako-chan?"
The brunette looked up at the man in front of her. "Seiiche please cover for me okay? I need to go." She pleaded before running away.
"But where are you going?" He asked her but she didn't stop. "Mako!"

Raye looked behind her, as she felt something not right. Something was wrong and she knew it. Quickly she turned around and ran back to where they last stood.
"Raye!!!" Serena yelled as she looked at her friend.
"Hurry! I feel something evil." Raye yelled over her shoulder as she kept running.
~*~
"Pluto don't forget." Chronos' voice could be heard.
"I won't." She whispered as she and Anubis watched the scene play. 'You have my word.'

Mako reached the mall breathing a bit hard. Her eyes narrowed as she spotted the fight. She saw Haimi and Aya hovering over them as they watched the four youma's they had created attack the senshi and Ronins before vanishing.
Mako slid into the shadows silently never leaving her eyes off of the battle. She watched as three of the youmas were destroyed. There was only one left. She could see that they were growing tired and she could feel that Jupiter's mind was not on the battle but on something else. She just hoped that she wasn't too distracted to fight. She would not interfere, and if she did it was only she had too.
~*~
Mercury, Torrent, Strata, and Sailor moon dropped to the ground after hitting a wall behind them. To everyone's surprise the Haimi and Aya had came from nowhere and immediately started attacking without hesitation. They had barely any time to transform.
Jupiter's mind was only on her daughter. She had told her to go hide but she didn't know where she was. Fear gripped her tightly. She turned to see where Sage was this was a mistake. One of the youma's that Haimi had created attacked her sending her flying and landing hard on the ground.
"Jupiter!" Mars and Saturn yelled as they watched their friend injured.
Jupiter groaned in pain as she tried to stand up, but her body felt like it was on fire. She didn't even notice the youma in front of her until it picked her up by her neck. Its hand glowed red and the glow quickly spread through Jupiter's body. Almost immediately she let out a scream that caught everyone's attention.
"Lita!" Sage yelled as he watched her helplessly.
"She won't take much more of this." Neptune spoke as she took out her mirror.
"We have to woke together on this one." Sailor mars said with a firm face but inside she feared for her friend's life.
Milany gasped as she heard her mother's scream and quickly moved away from one of the cars she hid behind of. Her eyes grew wide as she looked at her mother who was being tormented by the youma who looked like it was having fun. Every passing moment her anger grew as she watched. 'Its hurting mommy.' Was the only thing that was repeating in her mind as her eyes focused on the monster that dared to hurt her mother. The anger in her was too much for her to keep in and with powerful scream of rage Milany glowed a deep green.
~*~
Jokitsu suddenly stood up as he felt a rush of power brushed past him. His eyes narrowed in anger and disgust as a thought ran through his mind. 'No! She's awake. Damn it.'
A growl escaped his throat. "I didn't want to do this but if I have too so be it."
~*~
"Oh my god." Venus whispered as she brushed her hair out of her face. They all watched Milany in front of them. She was truly shocked to witness this much power. She didn't know that at this age some one could harness so much all at once. She didn't think that was possible. Milany's eyes had completely turned white while a strong wind blew around the area. Her body was covered in a green light while her hair was flying everywhere.
"Leave my mommy alone!" She yelled before everything stopped. Milany's eyes felt too heavy for her to carry and slowly they closed. Not permiting to keep herself up she dropped to the ground unconscious.
While everyone had lost concentration at the youma holding Jupiter a voice whispered. "Twin Lightning slash."
The attack hit its victim with an accurate hit in the back. Howling in pain the youma dropped the now unconscious Jupiter to the ground and turned around.
Sage taking the opportunity jumped up in the air and lashed out his sword at the youma's head, cutting his head off. Almost immediately the youma turned to dust. Sage turned to Jupiter and knelt by her side lifting her up a little. "Lita?" He whispered to her but received nothing back. Slowly he lifted her up in his arms and turned to where Milany was only to see Ryo holding her in his arms.
"Who are you?" Uranus yelled as she stared at the shadow by the entrance of the gate.
Everyone turned to look at where she was looking at in time to see a woman step out of the shadows slowly. Her fuku was almost the same with the senshi only she had no gloves and not sleeves.
Saturn smiled brightly as she recognized the woman. "I didn't think you would get involved." She spoke and the woman smiled. "I couldn't just stand here and stare when my sister and her daughter were in trouble."
That statement got a reaction of pure shock from the inners and Ronins.
The woman smiled sadly. "I am the senshi of power and Lightning. The last inner senshi, Sailor Thebe." She introduced. "We are now complete."
