Chapter 10: So what's going on??
(Raven's POV)
So now you know what has happened so far. Right now we are waiting for Hotohori to get back in the room so we can discuss what's going on.
(3rd Person POV)
Raven stared across the table at the tapestry hanging on the wooden wall. Her chest rose heavily as she listened to Tasuki relate what had happened back in Tokyo. She titled her head.
"You guys were worried about me?"
Mamoru rolled his eyes as his sister frowned in confusion. She still wasn't used to the family, team, friends ordeal.
"Hai Raven. We were concerned about you. Especially after that Nakago no baka paid us a lovely little visit."
Raven frowned.
"A visit?"
Michiru sipped a cup of tea.
"Yes he came in search of Miaka and told us he had you, Minako, Makoto, and Ami. Then he was kind enough to tell us he also took Usagi, Chibi-Usa and Hotaru."
Raven clenched her fists silently as Makoto growled in fury.
"Raven. We have to go back. We have to get the girls."
The two brunettes looked at each other as Raven spoke.
"Tonight. I promise."
Tasuki and Nuriko shuddered and grabbed both girls by the shoulders.
"You guys cant go back there. You'll get caught again."
Raven shoved Tasuki's hand firmly from her shoulder.
"Try and stop me. That's my family and I'm going to get them. I'm sorry if you get in my way."
Haruka frowned. He knew there wasn't going to be any way to change the girls mind. They would go tonight, but he was going to make sure they were safe.
"Well at least don't go alone. And have a plan Raven."
Makoto crossed her arms and calmly closed her eyes. She would let Raven do the talking. she knew she would only make the situation worse if she spoke while she was angry. The conversation halted as Hotohori walked in the room and sat on the floor amongst the others. His expression was worried and his eyes seemed old as Raven leaned forward to hear what the man had to say. He ran a hand through his violet hair and began to speak.
"It seems that Nakago had somehow returned with the Seyruu 7. How I don't know. But we have to stop him. What ever it is he plans on doing. We are going to need your help."
It was Rei's turn to frown.
"How are we supposed to help you?"
Hotohori glanced nervously at the girls.
"I need the women to go to Nakago."
Raven jumped to her feet defiantly.
"EXCUSE ME!!! Look bub. I don't care if you are the empress your not going to put my friends in danger to save your kingdom. How do we know that we'll get out alive?!"
Mamoru looked gravely at his younger sister.
"Raven. We could always…"
Raven cut him off.
"No. This isn't our dimension. We don't have to do anything here. Help with the military we can. Get provisions we can. CLEAN for all I care. But it is not our duty to take care of another country."
She stopped talking as Setsuna stood in front of her.
"Its okay Raven. It actually is our duty. This is ancient China. The second in command of the Queens. In fact Queen Nemainia is still alive. She is Usagi's great grandmother in the silver millennium. This is where your great gradmother is as well. So if we don't do anything the future will be doomed."
Raven flopped down to the ground in defeat and laid back in Tasuki's arms. Even though the young man wasn't entirely thrilled with the idea he didn't feel like having his nose broken so he sat patiently with his arms around her. Mamoru sighed as he looked at the guardian of time. One of his most trusted of companians.
"So should we show them?"
Setsuna nodded calmly and Ami stood to her feet.
"Its not right without Usa-chan but here goes."
Her right hand rose into the air and she took a deep breath.
"Mercury Star Power!!"
Makoto rose into a similar position.
"Jupiter Star Power!"
Next was Rei.
"Mars Star Power!!"
Followed by Minako.
"Venus Star Power!!"
Lights of blue, green, red, and yellow filled the room as the girls quickly transformed. Rei flipped her hair over one shoulder.
"We are the inner senshi the sworn guardians of Prnicess Usagi. I am Sailor Mars. Princess of Mars."
Ami tapped her earring causing a blue screen to slid over the top half of her face.
"I am Sailor Mercury. The Princess of Mercury."
Makoto's tiara shot small bits of electricity here and there as she knelt to one knee.
"I am Sailor Jupiter. The Princess of Jupiter."
Minako cracked her knuckles and dropped to her knee beside Makoto.
"I am Sailor Venus. The Princess of Venus."
The girls nodded at Hotohori.
"At your service."
Michiru closed her eyes and sighed.
"Neptune Star Power!"
Haruka reached into the air.
"Uranus Star Power!!"
Bright, sea blue, and orange lights filtered in between their bodies as they transformed. Setsuna stood off to the side and closed her eyes.
"Pluto Star Power!!"
Purple lights added to the lights. When the colors faded the three stood in their Sailor fuku's. Setsuna twirled her staff.
"We are the outer senshi. The most powerful and the oldest of the Sailors. I am Sailor Pluto. Guardian of Time and Princess of Pluto."
Haruka brushed off his tight pants.
"I am Sailor Uranus. Prince of Uranus."
Michiru grabbed the mans hand and looked at Hotohori with a calm expression.
"I am Sailor Neptune. The Princess of Neptune."
The three nodded to him.
"Your request?"
Hotohori pointed at Raven and Mamoru with confusion.
"And you two?"
Raven grabbed her brothers hand and nodded at him. They both closed their eyes.
"Earth Star POWER!!"
A black light filtered in the room and rose petals fell widely about. Raven and Mamoru stepped out of the darkness and Raven crossed her arms. She hated transforming with that creep.
"I am Sailor Crisis the Princess of Earth."
Mamoru removed the mask that covered his eyes.
"I am Tuxedo Mask. The prince of Earth future King of the Moon."
Raven spun a sword in her hand agitatedly.
"There introductions made. Can we go get the princesses now?"
Emperor Hotohori smiled as confused as he was.
"Raven. I have a question for you. What is your military background?"
Raven sighed and fiddled with her sword, throwing it in the air and catching it by its blade.
"I've wiped out entire forces. Never lost a battle and in my past I was the second in command of earths forces."
Tasuki grinned.
"Why weren't you the General?"
Raven glared at her brother.
"My family was a bunch of pig headed male chauvinists. Like they would give a woman total control."
Michiru nodded her head.
"Haruka helped a lot as did Rei and Ami and Makoto. When it came to fighting Raven, Makoto, and Haruka were the first people called. Ami and Rei did a lot of the planning and healing. Since Usagi was princess her mom hid her from the battles. Setsuna is the guardian of time so she had to watch the gates. Hotaru was our emergency weapon. One of the most dangerous of the scouts if she wanted to she could wipe out an entire universe."
Hotohori nodded calmly and gazed at Ami.
"I trust that you can get them in to that temple."
Ami smiled and saluted the emperor.
"You bet I can! I'll get on it right now."
She pulled out her Mercury compact computer and began to type away furiously. Raven smiled and cracked her knuckles.
"I get the first shot at Nakago if we see him. I gots me a score to settle with him."
Minako rolled her eyes and started to walk to the door.
"I'm gonna wait outside. It's getting late and I want to see the sunset."
Haruka, Michiru, and Rei followed close behind. Nuriko and Tamahome looked at Raven.
"How are your fighting skills?" Asked Nuriko. Raven smiled.
"I already said. I am the best. Haven't trained in a while. You wanna help me warm up?"
The three men smiled and nodded vigorously and followed her out the door. Mamoru glanced over at Ami and quietly offered his help. Chichiri, Mitstake, and Chiriko all nod to the emperor and Akai and quietly leave the room. Akai glances at her friend Hotohori.
"You think they'll help?"
Hotohori smiled fondly at the girl and took Miaka's hand.
"Of course. Miaka. Please go watch them train. Maybe they can teach you how to really fight this time."
