Chapter 26 …… The Meeting (Part II)

Endymion turns back around and runs for the front door. He hits a barrier and is flung backwards past the scouts. He hits the ground and lays there not moving.

"We aren't allowed inside. This isn't our battle." Says Uranus as she looks up at the house.

"What do you mean?" says Venus before running to Endymion.

"She means this battle is between Dosei, Serenity, Mars, Alex and Chad." Says Neptune as she walks over to Endymion.

"We can't just stand here and wait. We were meant to help." Says Mercury.

"Not this battle." Says Jupiter softly.

All the scouts look up at the house as the sky grows even darker and the rain pours harder.

"Please let me go you two." Begs Mars as she watches Serena talk to Hotaru. "And how do you know I'm Rei."

"You think I wouldn't know my true love in any form?" says Chad as he loosens his grip on Mars but he doesn't let her go.

"Chad please I'm not going to do anything."

"Don't let her go you two." Says Hotaru from across the room.

Hotaru looks back at Serena. "You knew this would happen sooner or later. Once all the scouts were together I would show up. It was interesting seeing you in Darien's room though."

"I love him Hotaru."

"Hmmm, you killed yourself for him so long ago. I guess you do love him."

"Hotaru please stop all this."

"Stop my revenge? Why would I want to do that?" says Hotaru with a wicked smile on her face.

"You want revenge then kill me. But you know it won't last. I can be brought back to life from the aid of my scouts."

"Not if they can't get in and Mars doesn't have enough power to save you."

"Mars Fireball Charge!" screams Mars as Chad and Alex burst on fire.

They let her go but suddenly the fire is put out.

"Really Mars you think you can beat them while I'm still here." Says Hotaru.

"Why can't my scouts get in?" asks Serena.

"I have a barrier around this house."

"Take your revenge Hotaru." Says Serena as she changes into Sailor Moon.

Hotaru watches Serena change and smiles. She closes her eyes and turns into Sailor Saturn.

"Oh no." gasps Pluto as she sees a purple aura glow around the house.

"What?" ask the other scouts as they look up at the house and see nothing.

"Sailor Saturn is here. I'm going in alone." Says Pluto as she walks up to the barrier and holds out her Garnet Rod. "Pluto Deadly Scream!" she yells. I bright garnet color light shoots from the Garnet orb at the barrier and rips a hole in it. Pluto runs through the hole just before it closes again. She turns back and looks at the other scouts before opening the front door and walking inside the house.

"Pluto Nooooo!" scream Neptune and Uranus as they run for the house but they hit the barrier and are flung back further than Endymion was thrown.

"Venus Love Chain Encircle." Yells Venus as she shoots a chain of hearts at the house, hitting barrier. "It didn't work." She yells as the barrier sucks up her attack for energy.

Jupiter and Mercury are at Neptune and Uranus's side helping them as Venus gets back to trying to help Endymion.

Pluto walks through the dark empty halls inside the house as she tries to find her way to Hotaru's room. "Where can she be?" mumbles Pluto as she looks for a door. Finally she comes upon a door and she puts her hand on it. "They are in there. I can feel their powers. But how do I get in?" says Pluto as she slides her hand over the door to find a way to open it.

Saturn looks at the empty wall and smiles as a part of it swings open to reveal Pluto standing there. "How did you get in? My barrier."

"I broke through it Saturn. You know how strong I am." Says Pluto as she walks into the room and looks around. She looks at Mars and the two men holding her she smiles and nods then turns her attention back to Sailor Saturn and Sailor Moon.

"I do know how strong your are but you are no match for me." Says Saturn as she smiles and holds out her left hand. A staff appears with a silver blade on the end that's shaped like a G.

"Saturn please don't do this. You know you can't use your forbidden attack. If you even try to use it I will use mine and stop time." Says Pluto as she slowly walks towards Sailor Moon.

"I have too Pluto. The pain they put me through."

"I know but if you stop the pain will go away. You can come and live with me."

"But you guard the gates of time. You live in a place that was only meant for you."

"I know but I don't have to live there to guard the gates anymore. I can guard them from where ever I am." Says Pluto softly as she steps in front of Sailor Moon blocking her from Saturn.

"No you can't stop me." Snaps Saturn as her eyes glow and she grins evilly. "I will destroy all that is in my way."
