I'm sorry this one is so short, but I have more written so I should
be able to get out the next chapter quickly, assuming I get enough reviews.
I was disappointed last time because it took me so long to get enough
reviews... what happened? Did everyone go on vacation? Anyways, I don't own
SM or G-Wing, though I'd take any of the pilots for myself in a heartbeat.
Please review! Ja ne!
"Minna?" she asked softly. She looked up and down the hall. "Minna?" she whispered. Panicing, she began to run down the dark hallway, heading in the same direction as she had been a moment ago. Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks.
'Baka!' she screamed at herself. 'Whatever took the others is most likely very cunning. Therefore, you have to be careful.' a voice that sounded like hers but with a hint of monotone told her silently. 'Pull out your wand and walk briskly but carefully until you reach something that looks of importance. Then, attack.' the voice continued. Sailor Moon nodded, and pulled her wand from her subdimensional pocket. She continued down the hall. Soon, it opened into a larger hall. This room was around a hundred feet wide, with a two hundred foot ceiling. It was longer than it was wide, and had five massive black pillars on both side walls. She looked around, quickly studying her surroundings.
"Sailor Moon..." a smooth, low voice said. The sound bounced off the walls, vibrating all around the lone Senshi.
"Who are you?!" she demanded, looking around for the source of the voice. Unfortuantly for her, the immense size of the room made it impossible to tell the exact location of her enemy.
"That is of no importance." the voice snapped. It was then that Sailor Moon realized that although the voice was extremely deep, it was a female's voice.
"What have you done with my friends?" Moon demanded again. The voice took a moment before answering. As the woman spoke, a shimmering glow came from nine of the pillars along each side.
"I haven't done anything with them... They're all right here..." the voice trailed off, echoing around the room and then fading completely. Sailor Moon looked up at the pillars just in time to see her friends appearing, unconsious but not visibly wounded, tied up about thirty feet with the thick black vines.
"No..." she whispered to herself, mortified. Then her voice loudened. "Let them go!" she screamed at the invisible voice.
"I will not release them. But I will awaken them. It will make your death all the more fun to watch." the female said. Moon shook her head slightly, and watched as the pilots and the Senshi opened their eyes and looked around. The first thing they all noticed was Sailor Moon, standing alone, thirty feet below them.
"Sailor Moon!" the Senshi yelled at the same time. She shook her head slightly, meeting eyes with each for a few moments.
"Don't worry about me." she called back, nodding as if the reassure both them and herself. She began looking around her surroundings, once more searching for the source of the voice.
"Let. Them. Go." she said, hatred giving a sadistic edge to her voice. Then her tone changed. "I don't care what I have to do, just let them go unharmed."
"No, Usagi..." Hiiro whispered. Duo, about ten feet away on the next pillar, heard him and smiled slightly, dispite his current situation. He was directly facing Jupiter across the room, so he was happy.
"Sailor Moon..." the voice said. "You say you'll do anything?" Sailor Moon took a deep breath before answering, drawing herself up to stand straight.
"Anything." she replied.
"Then let the battle to your death begin." the invisible female said. "If you can withstand my four tests then your friends will be released. If not, I kill you all. Agreed?" Obviously seeing Sailor Moon's nod, she began talking again. "Good. The first test is a test of strength." she said, and the gravity in the room increased, pressing Sailor Moon under thousands of pounds of pressure. The others could feel the downward pull, but the vines held them firmly in place. Even so, they cringed at the feeling of their innards being pulled towards the ground.
"Oh crap." Sailor Moon moaned. She stayed like that, flat out on the floor, for a moment, before putting both her palms face down on the marble. Pausing to gather strength, she then began to push herself up. She groaned with the effort. Soon, though, she was standing straight up once more, though her knees were shaking with the strain.
"Impossible." the still unseen female commented, though the gravity forcing itself down on the lone Senshi stopped. She wiped the sweat off her brow. "You won't survive the next one, I assure you."
Sailor Moon cringed a bit. From the center of the room, a part of the black marble moved aside and a large black crystal lifted out of the floor. It was large, standing a good 20 feet in the air. Sailor Moon took a defensive stance, preparing for an attack of any kind.
"Are you ready, Hime no Tsuki?" (Princess of the Moon) "This will test your endurance."
"Hai!" she cried indignently. Immediately after she said this, a dark ball of lightning-laced energy shot out of the glowing crystal and headed straight for her. No exclamation of surprise emitted from her as she put her wand in front of her and shot some of her energy to meet it. The two collided in the middle, but the black energy simply grew as it absorbed the silver, and Sailor Moon's eyes widened as the energy hit her. She snapped them shut right before the energy hit her, rolling her eyes into the back of her head and taking her mind away. She didn't cry out because she didn't feel any pain- in her mind, she was with Hiiro, laying out on the hot sand of a beach, caressing his sleeping face and whispering soft words of love to him. As soon as her subconsious mind told her the blast had stopped its rampage of her body, she opened her eyes.
"Is that all you've got?!" she demanded, though she regretted her words the instant they fell from her lips. Another, larger ki blast had formed. She slammed her eyes shut, barely escaping her own mind before the blast hit her. When she opened her eyes again, the voice spoke.
"That was only a taste of my power. Do not trifle with me any more, or you will pay dearly for it. Now for the third test. This will test your ability to be empathetic with others."
"That's gotta be an easy one, Usagi has a heart the size of Asia, and she opens it to everyone." Mercury said. The others nodded in agreement. Rather, the two other Senshi that could hear her nodded.
"What am I to do?" Sailor Moon asked, trying her best to be brave.
"I am going to open a portal between each of these nine people and you. You will experience their entire lives in only a few seconds. You will feel their pain, only it will be magnified. Since no one has ever had such a pure heart as you, no one will ever suffer as much as you, I think. Will you do it?" This was the most the voice had ever said. The pilots' eyes widened in shock at what Sailor Moon would have to endure.
'She's done it before, and only took on a little- it nearly killed her.' Quatre thought.
'We can't let her do this!' Trowa exclaimed silently.
'Kuso, Usa, iie! Don't do it! We'll be alright!' Hiiro wanted to scream. He had been trying to escape, struggling to get out of the vines that held him back.
'Oh shit. Shinginami must not allow this.' Duo thought, a lapse of seriousness edging over his usually happy exterior.
'She's a strong onna. She can take it.' Wufei tried to convince himself silently. 'I hope.' he added. He noticed that the odango-haired girl had not answered the voice's challenge.
"Will you take it, Sailor Moon?" the female asked, a tone of amusement entering her voice.
