Back at the apartment, Makoto sipped some water as she told the others what had happened
in her dream. It seemed hopeless. How could they stop something like this? How could
they fight an enemy that didn't seem real. Didn't seem flesh and blood. Something had
to be done and soon. But how could they fight this enemy without Sailor Moon? She was
their leader...the reason for their existence. Was this fight useless? Should they just
give up?
"We have to call everybody." Rei finally said with a sigh.
"Okay, we will do that. Maybe they will know what to do." Makoto said.
Mina called the other scouts using the telecommunication computer she always carried in her
purse. They would be there by morning. Makoto walked to her room and closed the door
behind her. She couldn't sleep. She didn't want to. She didn't want any more dreams.
Makoto sat on her bed.
A knock came at her door. Makoto looked at her clock. 2 a.m. She had been sitting there
three hours. Makoto really wanted to be alone, but she went ahead and told the visitor to
come in.
Seiya entered the room and closed the door behind him. He wanted to talk about the events
that happened earlier. Before Makoto's dream. He wanted to know if she was alright...if
they were alright. Seiya sat down on the bed next to Makoto.
"Mako-kun. I'm sorry that I ran away like that earlier. I didn't know what to think when
I saw you with Shinozaki. I thought I had lost and I..." Seiya began.
"Seiya-kun, I understand. I thought I had lost you too. When he kissed me, and I heard the
cup drop behind me, I knew you had seen it. I felt like my whole world had shattered.
I...I never kissed him back. Seiya, I don't love him. I never could love him like the way
I love you." Makoto cried.
"Don't cry, Makoto. I love you with all my heart. When we first met, I loved you. I
didn't tell you because, well, I was scared of you." Seiya said.
"You were scared of me?" Makoto asked in shock.
"Yes, you were so much in control...over everything. And you stood up for everyone. It was
intimidating. For a guy, at least. Guys are supposed to protect their girls. You...you
didn't need protection. Usagi did. And she was always around. That's why I went after
her instead of you. But, I never could love her the way I loved you. You have this aura
around you...like nobody can touch you. You have a power all your own and I don't think
you even know it yet. It's more than the power of Jupiter. I don't know what it is, but
it makes you shine more than anyone else around you. Mako-kun, I want to spend the rest of
my life protecting you, even if you don't need protection." Seiya said as he looked into
Makoto's eyes.
"Oh Seiya-kun..." Makoto said in a happy dazed tone of voice.
Seiya brushed his hand across Makoto's face gently. He could feel the warmth radiate from
her skin. He raised Makoto's head up to his with one graceful motion. Tenderly, he kissed
her. Makoto could feel the rush of heat pulsate through her body. She did not want this
moment to end.
Slowly, Seiya drew Makoto closer to him. He could feel her heart beating in time with his.
She was the one he had been searching for. He could be satisfied with no other. He did
not want to let go of Makoto, not even for a second. Seiya could tell that she felt the
same way as he did. She had complete and utter control over him, and he liked it that way.
Another knock came at the door. Who could it be now Makoto thought. Slowly, Makoto pulled
away from Seiya's lips. 4:39 a.m.?!?! Makoto got up from the bed. She opened the door
slightly. Hotaru burst through the door and hugged Makoto, almost knocking her off her
feet. She could tell Hotaru had been crying. She put her arms around her to comfort her.
Michiru and Haruka stepped in behind Hotaru. Makoto could not hide in her happiness any
longer. They had been found out. She would have to explain everything again. Michiru did
not seem to notice Seiya, but Haruka did.
"What is HE doing here, Makoto?" Haruka yelled.
"No, stop! Please." Makoto begged.
"And what is HE doing in your room? If he lays a finger on you, I'll..." Haruka continued.
"Don't you see, Haruka? They love each other. I think it's cute." Michiru cheerfully said.
Haruka calmed down as much as she could, which wasn't that much. They all went into the
living room where Rei, Mina, and Setsuna were waiting. After two hours of explaining every
little detail that had happened, both relating to the present situation and to Makoto's love
life. The tension seemed to settle a bit.
"There must be some way to fight this new enemy." Setsuna said.
"You know, it seems familiar. Like we have found an enemy somewhat like this one before.
The generals. The woman leader. It seems like..." Mina thought out load.
"Queen Beryl!" Rei exclaimed.
"But, we defeated her. It can't be." Makoto insisted.
"Can we get into the dream world?" Haruka asked.
"Helios is the only one who could let us in...but how do we get in touch with him?" Mina
said.
"We have to believe. Maybe if we all try to call him, he will appear? But we all have to
believe." Michiru suggested.
"It's worth a try." Seiya said.
Everyone joined hands and formed a circle. They had to concentrate hard on Helios. He was
their only hope of entrance. Calling his name, each scout began to henshin and glow in
their planet color. Everyone except Seiya. He had lost his powers by coming to Earth.
But he would not let that stop him. He continued to chant Helios' name and concentrated on
his image. Soon, Helios appeared within the circle. The chanting stopped, but no one broke
the circle.
"Is everything alright?" Helios asked.
"There is a new enemy. We believe it is one of the dream world, or at least using the
dream world as a portal into the real world. Sailor Moon, Chibi-Moon, Tuxedo Mask, and
Sailor Mercury are dead. We need your help." Setsuna said in a steady voice.
"No!!!" Helios screamed as tears welled up in his eyes.
"Please tell us, is there any way we can get into the dream world? Have you noticed any
disturbances?" Makoto asked.
"Not in the dream world, but there has been a portal created from the negaspace into the
dream world. But the dream world has not been tampered with. I can get you into the dream
world, but you will have to travel into the portal yourselves. I can not go near it."
Helios explained.
"Okay, we will have to take that chance. How do we get in??" Haruka asked.
Helios materialized from the hologram within the circle. The scouts dropped hands and
approached Helios. Seiya and Makoto continued to hold hands. They looked at each other.
Seiya could sense the fear deep inside Makoto. He squeezed her hand to let her know that
everything would be okay. As instructed, they all touched Helios' horn. Helios closed his
eyes and they were transported to the dream dimension, just outside of the portal. Helios
whinnied and vanished. Before then was the vortex that would lead them to the negaverse.
