Chapter 2
She grabbed her beeping communicator and flipped it out.
"Moshi moshi," she said in a small voice.
"Makoto, here are somethings for you. I know that it's became a new day in that demension. I want you to please hurry up and get back. The senshi can't hold out much longer." She looked at Pluto.
"I'll get ready and then go see Master Cid. I hope that he's made his decision by now." Pluto nodded and then clothes fell on Makoto.
"These are the most flexible clothes I got out of your closet. You will need that here. Take care Makoto." She nodded.
"Alright Pluto. I'll see you hopefully soon," and then she closed it. She exited and went into the bathroom where she sat her clothes down. She pulled out the shampoo, conditioner, soap, and towel that was mixed in with the clothes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Seifer looked at Master Cid.
"That girl shouldn't be placed out there. She doesn't even have a weapon!" Cid turned to him.
"She is a soldier from another demension Seifer. Her powers are different from ours. I know she will do fine."
"If she gets killed, it's not my faulter Cid." He turned and started for the door. His hand rested on the knob.
"Oh, and Seifer. She's going to be on your team. I hope you will follow orders and take care of her." He growled and then slammed the door after himself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She sat drying her hair and found a black bag on the ground with her name in it. She smiled and opened it up to pull out a brush. She placed everything else away and continued. After she got it to the way she wanted it to dry, she looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. Tan pants that were tight from the waist till the middle of her thigs where it started to get loose, leaving a bell around her black boots, a nice white shirt, and her hair down where it reached her thigs. She placed her things away and then exited the bathroom where Seifer just entered the room. He looked at her for a moment.
"Come on," he finally spoke. She followed him down the halls, down the stairs, passing places, and then stopped at the front where Cid, and two other men stood. Cid looked at her with a straight face. Her hand was on her hip while she stood.
"Have you reached your decision yet?" she asked.
"A war has broken loose and we have been asked to help them out. I was hoping that you could help us out. If you do, I will make you a SeeD. Once you get back, I will send some other SeeD's with you---"
"Just hold on a minute here. You are going to risk my life in a war? I don't think so buddy. If I die, my whole demension is screwed. I just recieved a message this morning for the Guardian of Time and she informed me that they aren't holding up well back there. My Queen and King are in danger. It's my duty to protect them. If you didn't want to help us out, you could have said so in the first place. Then I wouldn't have had to waste my time here!" Before Cid could give a response, a portal opened and out stepped Sailor Pluto. She motioned for Makoto to come over to her. She walked over and stood in the same position.
"I need your transformation pen," said Pluto. She handed it for her and recieved a belt. She placed it on and waited for further instructions.
"Makoto, you're going to be staying here for a while. Don't worry about anything. I want you to use this weapon to defend yourself. Everyone is alright and will be fine." She handed her a large weapon that had the handle of a gun and a large blade attached to it. She once it was handed to her, she fell to the ground. She looked up at Pluto who was giggling.
"It's not funny Pluto. What is this thing anyways?" she asked while she picked herself up off the floor and placed it in the empty slot on her belt.
"It's called a Gunblade. It's used as a weapon in this demsension so, you better leave how to use it. You will be going into that battle whether you like it or not---"
"What about our demension?" Pluto shook her head.
"Don't worry Makoto. You are needed here at this moment. Like Cid said, after the battle he will send some SeeD's with you." She nodded and looked at how her belt rested right above her hips.
"Okay." Pluto walked with her over to the group. Her hands rested on Makoto's shoulders.
"Makoto will help you in the battle. I would like to talk with you later on in your office Cid." He nodded.
"You are all in this group together. Further instructions will be given to you on your way. Now, get into the car and go to the docks." They nodded and then started on their way out the door. A blonde haired man with blue eyes placed a hand on her shoulder. She turned to him.
"So, you have a gunblade? I never knew that girls were able to have gunblades."
"Not like I'm going to have it for long anyways," she uttered.
"Why would you be interested anyways, Chicken Wuss?"
"Don't call me that!"They got into the van.
"You guys better play nice or else you won't like what's going to happen," said Makoto.
"Cool! By the way, I'm Zell." He took a seat next to her and extended a hand.
"Makoto Kino." She shook his hand to feel a strong grip.
"I heard that you were from another demension. Can you do anything magical or special?" asked Zell, excited like a child. She leaned back.
"Depends on what you call magical."
"Anything."
"What do you want me to do?" He grabbed out a deck of cards and pulled one out.
"Can you make this thing float?" She shrugged.
"I need some space though."
"We can sit on the floor." She took off her belt and set it on the seat. Then, sat on the floor cross legged. He sat across from her.
"Place the card in the middle and watch." He placed it in the middle between them. Seifer and the man with dark brown hair and brown eyes watched them. She closed her eyes while her hands moved in a rythm in the air. A green glow went around her softly. Her hands stopped while the card began to rise. They watched in awe and then it suddenly dropped. Her hands went on the ground while her breathing was hard.
"Are you---" Her hand silenced him with a movement. She looked up at him all of a sudden.
"Evil approaches....Beware of the man that hides himself under a mask....He will be the end of this demension...."
"How do you know this?" he Squall. Her heard shot up and turned to him.
"I saw him. He's going to try and take over your cities and destroy your Gardens." Squall looked at her strangely.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"You really don't want to know," she whispered as she pulled herself up to her feet and placed on her belt.
"I want to know!" She turned to Zell.
"I'll tell you when you're ready." She took a seat and crossed her legs. The car stopped and they got out and docked onto a water ship. Once they sat down, a woman with long blonde hair and blue eyes walked in. She turned to them all.
"I am Professor Quisits and I will be explaining everything to you." She turned on a screen as everything was being showed.
"Your mission is to make it to the center of the city. That will be your post and I want you to stay there. Even though this isn't like the regular test, you will still be graded the same as if it was your SeeD test. Seifer, you are the Captain of this team. I want you to make sure to follow orders. Second in command is Makoto by orders of Cid. If anything happens to Seifer, I want you to get your team out as quick as possible Makoto. We will be arriving momentarily. You will have enough time to prepare." She turned and then walked away.
"I guess Cid has taken a liking to you," said Seifer looking at Makoto.
"Probably because of my battle experience."
"How old are you?" asked Zell.
"Seventeen."
"How long have you been battling?" asked Zell.
"Since I was fourteen."
"Has anything different happened to you that couldn't happen to us?" She smiled.
"I've been killed four times if that is what you mean." His eyes widened. Seifer spent the rest of the time teaching Makoto how to handle her gunblade. They landed and then quickly ran into the city. Men came jumping out at them. Easily, they sliced them down and continued on their way. They ran down the paved road, killing soldiers for the other side, until they finally reached the center of the city. They stopped and waited.
"It's quiet. Too quiet," suggested Makoto in a small voice. Squall nodded in agreement. They walked over to an area of boxes and stopped when they heard voices. They hid behind them for a moment. A whole bunch of soldiers started going threw and heading in a different direction. Once they passed, Seifer started going but, Makoto stopped him.
"Where are you going?"
"I want to have a little fun. Who all's coming?" he asked.
"Alright. You take someone and me and someone else will hold down here. Okay?" asked Makoto. He nodded.
"You can have Chicken Wuss. I'll take Squall." She nodded and then they headed in that direction. Seifer and Squall ran up steps and stopped once they saw two men talking in front of a large satilite tower. They entered and Seifer stood up.
"What do they want with the satilite tower?" asked Squall.
"It doesn't matter. Lets just get some action." They went down and was about to enter when a girl ran up.
"Stop! You guys need to hurry up and come! Something is happening at the center of the city! A whole bunch of soldiers are attacking! We need to get two of our people out of there!"
"Shit!" said Seifer and then quickly started toward it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She was killing as many men as she could. Her and Zell had been seperated. She once and a while looked for him. Suddenly, she froze. A man with a white mask on stood at the top of a nearby building. He pointed at her and nodded. Quickly, he jumped down in front of her and pulled out a large sword.
"I won't let you have this demension!" He gave a laugh.
"That's why I will get rid of you now so that you can't disrupt my plans." He charged at her and they quickly went into a heated battle. Seifer ran up with Squall where he was quickly chopping down men.
"Makoto!" He kept searching for her. He was getting faster and killing them. Only a few men where left and he saw her as he sliced one down.
"Makoto!" She was pushed backwards but, managed to keep her balance. He ran for her. He saw her gunblade thrown from her to land straight in the ground, sticking up. The man moved his sword to cut her across the stomach. She let out a scream of pain as she fell to her knees. The man smirked and then disappeared. Seifer ran over and quickly grabbed her into her arms. One of her arms was over her wound.
"Seifer." Her other hand grabbed his shirt to pull him down to her.
"Promise me that you'll tell them."
"I promise."
"Tell my friends that I will be waiting watching over them with Queen Serenity. I tried and yet, I failed." He could see the tears in her eyes.
"Makoto---" She placed a finger over his lips.
"Leave me and save these people---" Her eyes closed as she went limp.
"Zell! Get her gunblade! We're heading back to the ship!" He picked her up into his arms and quickly ran in that direction with Zell and Squall following. They quickly boarded the ship and started back toward the Garden.
AN: I would like to tell you that the only pairing that I am doing is Makoto/Seifer. I don't usually pair that other senshi in my fics. I'll try to get the next chapter out soon.
She grabbed her beeping communicator and flipped it out.
