Without You Chapter 10

A/N: Here it is! Oh and AniJap? Your wish is my command hehe so enjoy this chapter ;)

~*~*~*~*

Sailor Mars slouched down into herself at a feeble attempt to keep warm. 'This is crazy!' she thought to herself. 'This plan will never work. . .but I must put my faith in Sailor Moon. . .I just hope she doesn't fail. . .DAMN IT'S COLD!'

"Hey Girl," a voice to her right startled her suddenly, "sorry," the voice apologized sheepishly, "didn't mean to startle you. Just wondering if you're okay." Mars smiled and nodded at the beautiful blonde sitting next to her who was also hugging her arms to her chest.

"Yes Venus I'm alright I'm just worried about Usa-er. . .Sailor Moon." Venus nodded.

"We all are Mars. Just have faith, she's got luck." Venus said with a wink before Venus left to talk to Jupiter. Mars nodded again and went back to her post. The plan was simple enough. . .but if one part of the plan went wrong, then she and her friends were doomed.

Mars was pulled out of her thoughts by a golden shining light coming from what she assumed to be the basement window. 'Showtime.' She thought to herself as she stood up. "NOW!" Mars shouted and started running at the warehouse. She summoned one of her fire attacks "Mars, fire. . .IGNITE!" she shouted and shot the attack at a harmless spot on the building causing it to shake. She didn't want to hurt the building in worry of hurting Mamoru, but they wanted to startle the occupants inside.

'That ought to get their attention.' She thought to herself with a smirk. She turned and saw Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury also attacking the building. "CAREFUL!" she yelled to them. "We don't want to hurt Mamoru!" The other scouts nodded and attacked again.

~*~*~*~*

Dakota and Kent were busy in the upstairs part of the warehouse moving their things out and putting them into their car talking merrily the entire time.

Suddenly the building shook and both pulled out similar guns. "What's going on?" Dakota asked.

"Don't know 'Kota," Kent responded. Dakota ran to a window and looked out to see the Sailor Scouts attacking.

"I've heard of these girls," Dakota mumbled. "A nuisance they are! They are probably after that Mamoru guy downstairs. . ." Dakota paused and grinned evilly. "Kent, bring up our friend to this room."

Kent Nodded. "Okay Kota." Kent retreated toward the basement door and opened it hastily. Dakota could hear Mamoru's startled cry and Kent say something threatening to him before Mamoru was dragged upstairs.

~*~*~*~*

Mamoru looked at the figure again and then realized his mistake. 'That's not Usako,' he thought disappointed. 'That's Sailor Moon. . .hopefully she's here to save me. . ."

Sailor Moon peeked into the window then turned away and disappeared from view. 'NO!' Mamoru thought panicking. 'Don't leave!' All of his reassurance melted away after Sailor Moon disappeared from view. He hung his head.

He felt the building shake and he looked about in alarm and then heard scuffling of footsteps upstairs, a few words exchanged then footsteps coming towards the door.

Mamoru heard the basement door open and shot his head up to watch Kent descend downstairs. 'This is it,' Mamoru thought sadly. 'I'm going to die right now.'

Kent approached Mamoru and leaned down to grab his arm. "Try anything funny and I'll kill you. So if you want to live, come upstairs."

Mamoru was speechless and allowed Kent to lead him upstairs and through the door of the basement into the warehouse. This time, instead of being in the makeshift living room of the building, he was taken to the main room where all the crates for the product the warehouse stored were kept.

There were crates stacked around the perimeter of the room and a couple in the middle. There was a metal landing about 6 feet from the ceiling which had a skylight on it. Outside the moon shown brightly through and cast shadows all over the place.

Kent dragged Mamoru over to a chair and sat him down before tying his hands behind his back. "Stay put." Kent ordered. Mamoru just stared at the two men.

"What are we going to do. . .what are we going to do?!" Kent whined pacing back and forth hysterically.

"SHUT UP AND LET ME THINK!" Dakota screamed at him then looked at Mamoru.

"As long as we have pretty boy over here alive they won't do anything to us."

Mamoru stared wide eyed. 'Uh oh. . .they're desperate. . .that's not good for me.' Mamoru thought panicked.

Suddenly he caught some movement out of the corner of his eye. Mamoru looked up to the metal landing and saw Sailor Moon drop through the skylight and land gracefully and silently on the landing.

Noticing his stare, Sailor Moon met Mamoru's gaze, gave a small sly smile and put her finger to her lips. 'Shhh' she mouthed. Mamoru nodded and turned back to Kent and Dakota who were still arguing.

"We should kill him and leave!" Kent was insisting while Dakota shook his head.

"No, he's our insurance!" he replied to Kent.

Mamoru watched their bickering and his eyes traveled back up to the metal landing. Sailor Moon was gone yet again. Mamoru was confused until the power went off in the building. Now the only light was from an emergency light in the left corner of the room, and the light from the moon through the skylight.

"WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" Dakota yelled at Kent.

"I. . .I. . ." Kent stammered.

"Your plan just failed that's what happened," a female voice echoed through the room. "leave Mamoru and leave this place and I won't hurt you." The voice commanded.

Dakota walked towards Mamoru. "I don't think you'll hurt me either way," he stated coldly pulling his gun to train it on Mamoru.

Mamoru stared at the gun for a few moments before turning his eyes upward to try and find Sailor Moon.

"I warned you," the voice replied. Then footsteps were heard on the landing. Dakota pointed his gun and pulled the trigger many times hoping to hit her.

"NO!" Mamoru screamed.

"Shut him up! I don't want him warnin' Sailor Moon." Dakota told Kent. Kent walked over to a table full of tools and found some old dirty duct tape. He pulled a long strip from the roll, and put it over Mamoru's mouth. Satisfied, he walked away.

"You missed," Dakota heard the voice taunt.

Dakota shot again. The voice laughed and kept running. Mamoru was watching for any sign of the female warrior. He saw her drop behind boxes out of the corner of his eyes. But he wasn't the only one.

Quick as a flash, Dakota pulled Mamoru to his feet in front of himself and Kent. He pulled Mamoru towards the tool table and pulled something off the table that glinted in the moonlight.

"Let. Him. Go." The female ordered.

Dakota poised the knife at Mamoru's throat. "No way, you'll kill me if I do." He replied.

"Just leave him on the floor in his position and leave. I will give you 10 seconds." She countered.

Dakota smiled evilly before pushing Mamoru to the floor and putting his hands up. "Okay," he said. "I will leave!" Dakota retreated to the shadows of the warehouse with Kent at his heels, before huddling behind a box.

"Okay time's up!" Sailor Moon called before coming out from behind the boxes towards Mamoru who was struggling and shouting a warning at her. "It's okay Mamoru," she soothed. "You're okay. I am here to help you." She stooped down to help Mamoru get untied.

Dakota came silently and slowly towards Sailor Moon the knife gripped tightly in his hands.

Sailor Moon watched as Mamoru continued to thrash and scream and so she pulled off his gag quickly.

"BEHIND YOU!" he shouted at her. Sailor Moon turned but was too late to dodge it fully and had to live with Dakota plunging the knife into her right shoulder. She screamed out in pain and rolled away from him.

Sailor Moon saw white spots and hot white pain shot through her senses. She breathed rapidly and saw Mamoru glancing behind her again before he panicked and shouted,

"Sailor Moon! WATCH OUT!" She turned and was met with the leg of a chair hitting her in the face.

The pain was too much, and the chair caught her so by surprise that she lost her transformation with a startled cry. The ribbons disappeared from around her body, to reveal her alter ego to all present. All gave a collective gasp.

"USAGI?"
