Sailor Moon Cosmic Titan Series episode 4

"I knew I'd find you here," replied Crystal as she found Ange at the park a week later. "Where have you been the last couple of days?"

"Oh, around, hiding mostly. I can't stand being anywhere near that brat, Chibi Usa."

"Aw, don't you like me," Chibi Usa said as she popped out of nowhere. A cute little smile on her face, a little too big.

"Ahhhh!" Ange yelled as she dodged the little pink hared rabbit & she jumped into the pond the began to frog swim away.

"No! Angie-chan! Come back!" called Chibi Usa.

"There ain't anything that will make me go back near you!" Ange yelled. When suddenly, the water below her began to glow & then an explosion sent the water & Ange high into the air. "WHHAaaaaaaaa!" Ange screamed as she was shot upwards. Then the water stopped & fell back to earth. As Ange came back down you could hear her say, "This could only happen to mmeeeeeeeee!" Splash!

As Ange looked down into the depths of the lake she could see something or someone down there. The next second it swooshed passed her & above the surface with a mighty leap.

It was a person, she had beautiful long, flowing, light purple hair & a very slender figure. She wore a long dress that matched her hair. When she was out of the water she stood on a pole at the water's edge.

"Who are you?" Ange asked when she came back up.

"I'm Lineta, but you can call me, Violet."

"You do know that violet is dark purple, right?" Chibi-chan asked.

"Yes . & I also know that she has my brother," she replied with a finger pointing at Ange who was still in the water.

"Your brother?"

"Dear, sweet, Amethyst."

"Amethyst!" the group said in unison.

"World Shaking!" came a voice out of nowhere.

Then, a golden ball with a ring of light around it went flying towards Violet. She easily dodged it & the mystery guests revealed themselves. It was Sailor Uranus & Sailor Neptune.

Neptune looked over at Chibi-chan, Chibi Usa, & Usagi. "We've been tracking Lineta for awhile now. She is very dangerous."

"We can see that," muttered Crystal.

Since everyone was watching Uranus battle Violet, Ange took this opportunity to transform "Titan Crystal Power, Make-up!" & when she was done, joined the fight. What no one realized was that Chibi Usa saw the whole thing & for some reason it came as a surprise that Ange was a Sailor Senshi.

"I'll show you not to mess with someone as cranky as me!" Sailor Titan yelled. "Consider yourself destroyed!"

"What are you going to do to me, 'little girl'?"

"Did you just say 'little girl'!"

"Uh-oh. This isn't going to be good," replied Crystal.

"Did you just say 'little girl'!!!...You are so going to get it!!!" Titan yelled as she jumped at Violet. In moments, the two were out of sight.

While Crystal & Usagi talked to Uranus & Neptune, Chibi Usa ran after Titan. Soon enough, she caught up to them.

"Chibi Usa! Get out of here! You'll get hurt!"

"Oh, you'll bet she'll get hurt," said Violet as she snatched up Chibi Usa.

"No! What are you doing!"

"Taking some leverage." Titan took a step closer. "Don't come any closer or I'll kill her & don't fire anything."

Titan looked down & muttered, "Fine."

"Good. You have sense, but I don't," she said as she pulled out a short sword & stabbed Chibi Usa in the back.

"NOOOOO!!!" Titan screamed. Then, Violet vanished leaving Chibi Usa behind. Titan went up to her & held her.

"You tried to save me."

" . I don't hate you," replied Titan as she began to cry.

"I know. Before I die, I want you to have something, it will help you to get home," Chibi Usa said as she held out her time key.

"But you can't die, Chibi Usa! You just can't!" Titan said as she took the key from her little hand.

"It's okay. I'll be.fine."

"Chibi Usa? Chibi Usa!" This only made Titan hold her tighter. Then, Chibi-chan, Sailor Moon & the rest showed up.

"Chibi Usa!" yelled Sailor Moon as she ran up to her. At which point, Chibi Usa got a blue aura around her & disappeared. Sailor Moon stood strait up & said, "You killed her, didn't you?"

"No! I wouldn't do th-"

"Admit it. You did."

"No no no! You're got it all wrong!"

"Oh, do I now. Then, why is her blood all over your hands?"

"Because I was holding her-"

"After you had stabbed her!"

"No! No!" Titan cried.

"It's over. We don't want to see you again!" Then, all but Crystal walked away. She went over to Ange who had just changed back & sat down on the pavement of the street.

"I believe you. You wouldn't do something like that, even if you did hate her."

"I may have said that, but I didn't mean it," Ange cried. "If she dies than I die! I won't exist. She is a part of me as much as she is a part of Usagi. I can't believe she's gone," Ange mumbled as she put her head down. "She's gone & I couldn't save her."

For weeks, there was no sign of anything strange. Tokyo seemed to be at a time of peace. The Senshi still weren't talking to Ange. & she seemed to fall deeper into her own despaired. Diamond & her didn't talk or spend as much time together. Crystal every once in awhile went to see her.

Then, one day after Diamond & Sapphire just happened to run into Rubeus & Nephlight out of the sky came a flash of light & they disappeared from right where they stood.

After school that day, Chibi-chan went home with Ange.

"So, how has D been?" asked Crystal.

"I haven't been talking to him much lately, so I really can't say."

When, they got up to her apartment, Ange opened the door.

"Where is he? Usually he's back by now," Ange wondered.

"Maybe he's out for a walk."

"That could be true, but he's always been back here to at least greet me," stated Ange. Then she walked over to the table. "There's a note. It says, 'Dear Ange, I left & I'm not coming back so just forget me. D. P.S. it's all in the past.' What does it mean?"

"That he's left you," replied Chibi-chan.

"First of all, I know he wouldn't just up & leave like that. Next, something is off about his writing, almost like it was forced, well except for 'it's all in the past'. Whatever that means will lead us to him.Wait, if we change this character just a little bit.there. 'We're all in the past,'" Ange exclaimed at this new piece of information.

"What? Like in before this time!"

"Yep, I think we better tell the others, but we isn't me. Which means."

"That more are gone too!"

"Exactly."

So, they ran all the way to Rei's temple & interrupted yet another one of Rei's fire readings.

"What are you doing here?" yelled Usagi. "I said that you can't come near us."

"That maybe true, but have you guys noticed anything missing lately?" asked Ange.

"Like?" Rei wondered.

"D, Sapph, Rubeus, Nephlight, etc."

"It has been kind of quiet lately," muttered Makoto.

"Mamoru's missing too," replied Usagi as she hung her head.

"Ange thinks she knows where they might have gone," said Crystal.

Usagi looked up with tears in her eyes, "I do too." Then, she held out a note. Ange took it & looked. It had the basic summary that Ange's did.

"Yes, but look at mine," said Ange handing her the paper.

"What does, 'we're in the past' mean?" Usagi asked.

"Exactly what is says," yelled Rei as she snatched up the paper. "The only thing is how are we going to get there?" "I know," Ange replied softly.

"How!" they all asked.

"The time key."

"What? How did you get Chibi Usa 's time key?" yelled Usagi.

"It's a long story, but she gave it to me. Now do you want to go & save them or not?"

"Not with you there," Usagi said firmly.

"I wish that you would believe me, I tried to save her.let's call truce," replied Ange holding out a hand. ".Fine!"

Ange then, took out the key & held it up.

But before she could say anything Minako asked, "Do you know how to use that thing?"

"Well, sort of."

"What do you mean 'sort of'!" they all yelled.

"Crystal Key of Time! Send us to the past! To find our men!" Ange yelled as she held the key to the roof.

The key began to light up & the light grew around them, then they were gone. They found themselves back at the Gate of Time. Pluto stood before them with her time staff. Ange walked up & shook her hand.

"Setsuna, so good to see you again. How long has it been?" she asked.

"Oh, a good couple of minutes," Pluto replied.

"Oh yeah, that's right. Time passes differently here."

"Wait a sec, you mean that you know Pluto?" Usagi asked.

"Yep, I've run into her after every time I'd died. So, can you tell me if Chibi Usa is dead?"

"I can't tell you that, trust yourself to answer the question. You must go now, your friends need help," Pluto said as she looked off at nothing.

"Do you know what time they're in?" Usagi asked.

"Yes," Pluto replied as the Gate opened. "Go now & remember to focus on your destination. Good luck."

"Thanks, Setsuna," Ange replied as she hugged her & they all walked through.

In seconds, they all were standing in a field, the bright noon sun shined down on them. They all looked around to try & find out where they were. Ange & Chibi-chan discussed the familiar surroundings.

"Doesn't this place remind you of something?"

"Yeah.what?"

"Ancient China, perhaps."

"Oh, Fushigi Yuugi! You think we're in ancient China?"

"Yep, & I think we should go this way," Ange said pointing.

Then, they gathered their bearings & went that way. Minutes later they reached a village.

"It is, it is! It is ancient China!" exclaimed Crystal.

"Hey! Isn't that Tamahome?" asked Ange.

"Where? Oh, yeah! It is!"

"Let's go say hi," replied Ange. Then, they went running to go catch him. The others lost sight of them in seconds.

After Ange & Chibi-chan ran for a bit they lost Tamahome. Then, after standing to catch their breaths, a group of unfriendly looking men joined them.

"Well, well, well. Look what we're got here. Two lovely little ladies for us to sell," replied one of the men.

"Oh, no. You don't want to do that," said Crystal.

"Oh, but we do."

"Hey, don't I get any say in this?" Ange asked.

"No, my pretty. Get them!"

The rest of the group started to attacked Crystal & Ange. They weren't doing to bad, when they looked at each other & winked. Then, they just about gave up right on the spot. Moments later, Tamahome swung in & kicked the crap out of every last one of them. When he was done he stood up & dusted himself off & looked at the two of them.

"I hope that you two don't mind that I interrupted your little party?" "Oh, no no. Thank you, Mr. a..."

"Tamahome. Can you guys pay me now?"

"Oh no. I forgot about that," muttered Crystal.

"So did I," muttered Ange.

"Forgot what?" Tamahome asked.

"Um, our money," Ange answered quickly.

"Oh, great. A couple more freeloaders."

"What do you mean more?" Chibi-chan wondered.

"Oh, a few days ago, I saved a couple of girls from some slave traders & they didn't have any money either."

"Do you remember their names?" Ange asked.

"I don't know the one, but the other is Miaka.Hey, wait, I don't even know your names!"

"Oh, I'm Angela & she's Chibi-chan. A, I mean, Crystal. We're kind of lost, can you show us around?"

"Oh, great. Now, you want me to be your chauffeur?"

"I know we can't pay you with money, but we'll make it up to you some other way," replied Ange.

"(sigh) Fine. Where do you want to go?"

"The Emperor's palace," stated Chibi-chan.

"What! Not just anyone can see the Emperor you know."

"Right, but we need to speak to him right away," said Ange.

"You're both crazy. Oh, here comes the Emperor's carriage now," Tamahome muttered flatly as he motioned in that direction. When Ange heard this she went running after it, trying to say something to the Emperor. Then, she tripped over her own two feet & fell into the back of the carriage & by this time Crystal & Tamahome had caught up to her. After they stopped the carriage & pulled Ange out of it, all three of them were arrested & thrown into the dungeon.

"Oh, wonderful, Ange. You got us arrested," muttered Chibi-chan as they were locked up. "Now how are we going to see the Emperor?"

"I don't know."

"This is getting real tiresome. This is the second time I've been down here in a week."

"That's right!" Ange remembered. "Tamahome, you know the Emperor, right?" Ange asked.

"Yeah, but how did you know that?"

"Good question. Um, we have heard many interesting things about the Konan Empire. & that this Miaka person is the priestess of Suzaku."

"You know an awful lot for being visitors," Tamahome questioned.

"A yeah, well, word travels fast. Hey, Chibi-chan, you got any gum on ya?"

"I do for just such an occasion."

So, she got out her gum & they began to chew. After a bit they called the guard over to show him some bubbles.

"Ah! AAAAHHHHH!!! What is it?" he yelled as he ran away. Ange grabbed him keys before he did.

"Wow, you guys have that stuff that Miaka has, too?"

"Yep, now let's get out of here," replied Crystal.

"I'm with you," said Ange as they opened the door & walked out. "Coming Tamahome?"

"A-yeah."
