Disclaimer: OK, here's chapter 2! Same disclaimer applies in this chapter.
Mina shivered as she walked down the dark, empty street. She was on her way home from the arcade. She had stayed much later than she had wanted to. She was still shaken up by what had happened to Raye. The same incident had claimed her car, so she was now forced to walk to places she wanted to go. That's why she was walking home instead of driving. It had been two weeks since the accident. Remarkably, all of them, including Raye, were more or less recovered. Physically, at least. Mina knew that she was not the only one shaken up. Raye was still a little nervous about getting in cars and lately Serena had become a little protective of the dark-haired priestess. Lita seemed back to normal, more or less. Although, she seemed a little less laid back. Amy was worried that a new enemy had targeted the Scouts, so she, Luna and Artemis threw themselves into finding out anything they could. Lastly, Mina herself was just scared. They had come so close to losing Raye, she was now afraid that this new enemy would come back to target another Scout or go after Raye again. And Mina knew they wouldn't underestimate the team this time. They might actually succeed. A noise from behind her knocked Mina from her thoughts. She quickly turned around. No one there. She turned back to hurry to the closest place she knew, Lita's apartment. When she turned she saw that the cause of the sound was right in front of her. A young man with blonde hair stood in front of her. Mina stifled a scream.
"I'm sorry! Did I scare you?" the man asked.
Mina tried to get her heart to stop pounding. "Yeah, kinda."
"Good." the blonde man said. He grabbed Mina and threw her into a brick wall. A little dazed, Mina pulled out her transformation pen. The blonde man knocked it from her hand. Then he picked her up and threw her into the wall opposite the one he had just slammed her into. Mina felt something snap as she began to lose conciousness.
"Now, time for the real torture to begin." he said with a sneer.
Around dawn the next morning, Amy and Raye walked down the same street. As a type of therapy, the doctor had recommended that Raye walk a little each week. She liked to get it over with early, so it didn't mess up the rest of her day.
"Raye?" Amy asked, kneeling down.
"Yeah, Amy?"
"Isn't this Mina's transformation pen?" Amy handed a small object to Raye.
Raye studied it for a moment, then looked up. Right at the wall of Lita's apartment building. Raye narrowed her eyes and went closer to it.
"Blood." she mused to herself, confused. "Amy, there's blood on this wall...." Suddenly, she turned to look into the alley.
"Mina!" she gasped. She ran to her fallen friend. Amy stepped into the alley and saw Raye kneeling by Mina's unconscious form.
"Oh my god!" Amy ran over to them. Raye stood and raced into the building. She frantically banged on Lita's door.
A very sleepy Lita answered a few minutes later. She woke up more when she saw Raye's face.
"Raye, what is it?"
"We need an ambulance! Mina's been hurt!"
A few hours later, Serena, Amy, Raye and Lita were in Mina's hospital room.
"We've been spending way too much time here." Lita commented grimly.
They others agreed. What ever the thing that did this to her was, it had done a real job on her. She looked terrible. Deep red cuts ran across her face and arms. She was covered in dark bruises and where she didn't have bruises, her skin was bright red from burns. One of her arms was set in a cast. Mina groaned and slowly open her eyes.
"Girls?"
"We're here." Amy said softly.
Mina suddenly looked terrified. "Where is he?!"
"Who?"
"The guy who attacked me!"
"Wait a minute! A human did this to you?" Serena asked, shocked. They had all assumed a youma did it. Serena didn't think that a human being was capable of doing this.
Mina nodded miserably. Lita's eyes blazed. She knew that if she ever got her hands on the monster that did this to her friend, he would pay dearly for every ounce of pain Mina was going through.
"Yellow Dragon!" Lord Enchanter called for his minion.
"Yes, Lord Enchanter." the handsome, blonde man appeared in fromt of his master.
"Why didn't you destroy Sailor Venus when you had the chance?" Lord Enchanter demanded.
"Well, my lord, my belief is that to truely destroy a human being, you must destroy their entire being. Including their mind, the center for their emotions. I have placed a spell over Sailor Venus to do just that. A when she is emotionally weakest, I will strike."
"Very well, Yellow Dragon. But if you fail, you better hope that those Sailor brats destroy you. For what I do will be far, far worse."
Serena, Raye, Amy and Lita sat in Mina's living room. They had helped her parents get her settled in after the doctors released her from the hospital. They agreed to stay there with her while her parents filled pain perscriptions. Now they waited for her to wake up.
"I hope she is ok enough to be home." Serena said "She was only in the hospital for a day."
"Dr. Hipera said that her injuries aren't as serious as they are numerous." Amy pointed out.
"I know, but-" Serena was cut off by a blood-curdling scream from the bedroom. The four girls ran to Mina's room.
"Mina! What's wrong?"
"Get away from me!" Mina screamed, still in her nightmare. She violently tossed and turned, trying to fight the invisible opponent. Luna tried to prevent Mina from accidently clobbering Artemis, who was vainly trying to wake up the hysterical girl.
"Mina! Mina, wake up!" Lita gently tried.
"No! Someone help me!" Mina swung her arm out, sending Luna and Artemis flying across the room. Serena and Raye managed to catch the flying cats before they hit the wall and Amy went to help Lita.
"Mina, wake up! It's just a nightmare!"
Mina's eyes shot opened. She was breathing heavily and trembling. When she saw the other girls, she started sobbing. "Why is this happening to me?! Why can't I let it go?!"
Raye and Lita looked at each other. Something had to be done.
Dr. Joseph Rioko check his appointment book. He had one more patient that day. A new patient. He checked the name. Mina Aino. The doctor sat back in his chair, to read some information about his new patient when the door burst open.
"What's the meaning of this?!" Dr. Rioko demanded.
"Sorry, doc. But I need your identity for a few days!" Yellow Dragon shot a beam of dark yellow energy at the shrink. Dr. Rioko was knocked out. Yellow Dragon made a motion with his hand. The doctor was thrown into the closet and the door was shut behind him.
"And now, for me." Yellow Dragon snapped his fingers. Instantly, he looked exactly like Dr. Rioko. A knock sounded on the door. Yellow Dragon opened it.
"Are you Dr. Rioko?"
Yellow Dragon nodded. "Yes, I am Dr. Rioko. You must be the Ainos."
Mina sat back in the armchair in Dr. Rioko's office. She was actually kind of happy about having to go to a physchiatrist. Maybe her nightmares would stop.
"So, I hear your having a hard time." 'Dr. Rioko' said. "Having nightmares. Being afraid of everything."
Mina nodded. "I just can't seem to feel safe anymore."
"Well, that's normal. In fact. It's a good thing. You shouldn't feel safe. You'll never be safe."
Mina looked up in surprise. "What?"
"It's true. Just think. If this happened once, it could happen again."
Mina thought for a moment. The doctor had a point.
A few days later, Mina wasn't any better off than she was before. Her parents wanted to stop sending her to Dr. Rioko, but his office seemed to be the only place where she wasn't in constant fear. To try to cheer her up, Serena decided that a trip to the arcade was needed. At first, Mina refused to go. But after some coaxing, she finally gave in. It was a Saturday and the usual arcade crowd was there plus Mina, Serena and Lita. Amy was at the library and Raye was out with Chad. Serena and Lita were having a tough time cheering up Mina. She was always looking over her shoulder.
"I know! Let's get sundaes! They always cheer you up! And we can see Andrew while we're at it." Lita exclaimed.
Mina slowly agreed, but Serena spotted someone she wanted to talk to.
"You guys go ahead, I'll be there in a minute."
The other two looked shocked at Serena's delay of food.
"Um..ok..." Lita lead Mina to the counter.
Serena approached the guy she wanted to talk to.
"Damion!" the guy turned around when she called him.
"Oh, hi! Serena, right? You're one of Mina's friends."
"Yeah. Um..I have to ask you a favor. It's for Mina."
"What is it?"
"Well, a few days ago, Mina was attacked on her way home from the arcade-" Serena started.
"Is she alright?" Damion interuppted, concerned.
"Well, physically, yes. She just has some cuts and bruises. Most of the damage has started to go away. But...she's really shook up. Er...terrified is more like it."
"What can I do?" Damion asked, willing to do anything for Mina, though they had only met a few times.
"I was wondering if you could help take her mind off it. Or at least get her to talk about it."
"Sure, I'll give it a try."
Serena showed him to the table Mina and Lita were at.
A little bit later, Mina was talking to Damion on a park bench. Though he was helping a bit, nothing could get through Mina's mental block.
"I don't know why I just can't get over this! I want to! I don't want to be scared anymore, but I can't stop it!" Mina's eyes filled with tears.
Damion put a comforting arm around her. "I will help you. I promise, I will do anything to make you feel safe again. Everything will be alright."
Mina looked up at him. "I hope you're right."
Serena and Lita met up with Amy, Raye and Chad soon after they left Mina and Damion on the park bench.
"Do you think she'll be ok?" Serena asked. No one had to ask who "she" was.
"Of course she will! I mean, look at Raye! She was on the verge of death and now she is almost completely better!" Lita said. Raye nodded, leaning back into Chad arm that was around her shoulder. "She'll be alright."
"Sailor Scouts!" a voice shouted. The four girls tensed up. Wide-eyed, Raye nervously looked at Chad. He looked incredibly confused. A blonde haired man walked in front of the group.
"I am Yellow Dragon." he glared at Raye, "You! You killed my brother."
Chad protectivly stood in front of Raye, "Yo, dude! Back off! She didn't kill anyone!"
Yellow Dragon brought his gaze to Chad. "I don't believe I was talking to you. Get out of my way and let Sailor Mars fight for herself!"
Chad didn't budge. "I think you have the wrong person, buddy."
The girls didn't know what to do. Serena caught the other Scouts' gazes. They shared a thought: Should they let Chad know who they were?
Each of the others nodded slightly. Serena nodded back.
"Moon Cosmic Power"
"Mercury Crystal Power!"
"Mars Crystal Power!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power!"
Chad stared at them in shock.
"We can handle this, Chad." Raye said with a slight smile at her boyfriend.
Chad, still in shock, sort of nodded blankly. Raye turned back to Yellow Dragon. "Well, let's go then!"
The girls watched Yellow Dragon suspiciously. Suddenly, Raye threw the first attack.
"Mars Fire Ignite!"
The attack didn't phase him. The other girls tried. Nothing worked.
Yellow Dragon laughed. "Too bad Sailor Venus can't help. I pretty much stopped that from happening! Turned her into a real basket case!"
"You're the one who attacked her!"Amy cried.
"You just figured that out?" Yellow Dragon threw a yellow bolt of energy at them.
Mina and Damion walked hand in hand. They were off to find the others.
'Damion made a lot of sense.' Mina thought. 'A lot more than Dr. Rioko.'
Suddenly, she heard the sounds of a battle. 'What?'
"Mina! Look, it's the Sailor Scouts!" Damion said. When Mina looked, she saw her friends losing the fight.
"Damion, I'll be right back!" Mina ran to a secluded area.
"Venus Crystal Power!"
She was was about to join the fight when she saw who they were fighting.
In terror she thought 'He's the guy! The guy in the alley! I can't do it! I can't fight him!'
"Nothing's working!" Lita yelled.
"Mercury!" Raye yelled as the blue haired genius was flung into a tree.
"Jupiter,Mars! Watch out!" Serena cried just as a beam of energy hit the two scouts. A beam shot out and blasted Serena. The fallen scouts tried to fight back, but they were getting pummled. Mina could hear them as the battle raged.
'I can't take this anymore! I can't let my friends get hurt!' Venus ran into the battle.
"Leave them alone!" she commanded. Yellow Dragon looked at her in shock. "You? I thought I dealt with you?"
"Obviously, not well enough!" Venus replied.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
The attack hit Yellow Dragon.
"Noooo!!!!" Yellow Dragon exploded.
Venus stared at the spot he had stood. Then she took a deep breath.
"I'm finally ok again."
"So you're Sailor Mars. And the other girls, they're Sailor Scouts too?" Chad was trying to make sense of everything.
Raye nodded.
Chad let out a breath. "Wow, I'm dating Sailor Mars."
"Chad, I would understand if you didn't want to go out with me anymore. I mean, now-"
"Raye," Chad cut off. "I love you. I don't care if you're a regular girl, a Sailor Scout or..or..or the Queen of England!"
"The Queen of England?" Raye laughed.
"It was all I could think of. But my point is, it doesn't matter to me who you are. I'll always love you."
Raye smiled and their lips met.
"What are you thinking about, Damion?" Mina asked.
"That battle today with the Sailor Scouts. That was amazing."
"It was, wasn't it."
"But Sailor Venus was especially amazing."
Mina looked up in surprise. "What?"
Damion looked down at her. "She's my favorite Sailor Scout. Actually, it may be because she reminds me of you."
Mina laughed for the first time in a long time. "Me like Sailor Venus? Nah, I don't see it." she leaned back on Damion, feeling completely safe.
"Those damned Sailor brats have ruined my plans again! And they took another of my best warriors! Green Dragon, it is up to you now. And remember the mistakes your brothers made. It will prevent you from their fate. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Lord Enchanter. I understand perfectly." the green haired man said.
"Good. Now go! Destroy the Sailor Scout of thunder!"
Green Dragon turned to go.
"Oh, and Green Dragon?"
"Yes, master?" Green Dragon turned.
"If you fail me, your fate will be worse than any torture you can imagine."
