When the light finally dimmed enough for everyone to turn back around again and see... There were only the lights of the 'Aurora Borealis' and the dust of the now dead youma. Everyone sighed and was about to start on telling each on how they did and ask... Yes, this time ask why Usagi was late when... the 'Aurora Borealis' disappeared and they finally noticed that a few people were missing from their little group. Eternal Sailor Moon, Super Sailor Jupiter and the unknown to them, Reicheru, were all missing.

"Where are they!! They can't just disappear like that! I mean... Usagi and her wings, yea she can fly away, but WHERE IS JUPITER!?!" half shouted a over worried Super Sailor Venus.

"I don't know Mina, I don't know... I can't feel them anymore..." whispered the now de-transformed Rei.

Super Sailor Mercury was leaning a little on Rei, fingers flying over her mini computer entering all the data and trying to figure out what... or where their friends had gone to. "Guys..." Mercury started as they all turned to her. "It's like they're here... but not here..." At their confused looks she sighed. "There here... on Earth... but not here... in this time."

"Oh, I see." Mina stated but wore a confused look.

"Then I think we need to pay a visit to Sailor Pluto, she'll know what to do about it." Rei clenched her fist that wasn't helping to hold, the now de-transformed Ami steady. "And I swear on Mars and all that's Holy if she knew about this..." she let her sentence trail off, knowing the others agreed with her on that one.

Duo looked around, then turned on his vid-com. "Where'd what go bro? I don't see anything... well missing that is..." he gave Heero a lopsided grin.

"Baka." Muttered the Japanese looking at Duo's grinning face then turning to look out of his gundam. "Iie, you stupid idoit... half the other dolls... they're gone. But how?" He turned looking at everyone's faces now; they all held confusion as well, not noticing the missing dolls and other things that hadn't been there before.

Like for instance the strawberry blonde haired girl close to the base of Deathscythe Hell... the chestnut brown haired girl at the feet of Heavyarms, and the silvery blonde haired Tenshi starting to stand weakly, a few yards in front of Wing Zero, her wings slightly spread behind her, one angled oddly, blood trinkling down from the mid joint of her right wing; red slowly soaking into the white feathers, staining them.

Broken. Heero's mind told him, as he looked over this Tenshi. Tenshi? Where the hell did that come from? And why do I care if it's broken? he mentally growled. Cause you still have some humanity left in you and she's very kawaii... the voice shot back.

I have no humanity. Have no feelings. And you are getting on my ever loving last nerve! Go. Away. He could almost feel the shaking of a head. Nope. Gomen ne, but I don't think so! it chuckled, Your stuck with me. So live with it. Came the serious reply.

I'm arguing with myself... I'm becoming like that braided baka. Heero shook his head.

Hey, I've talked with that 'braided baka's' humanity... think... think he called himself, Shinigami? Or something like that. He's quite the humanity to talk to let me tell ya! the voice said cheerfully.

Leave. Me. Alone! This is a battle, there's iie place for you in MY head. Leave Now. Heero growled back.

Fine, but like Duo's told him. "I'll be back!" the 'voice', was laughing at him now, his humanity, See ya Perfect! Heero actually rolled his eyes, as he watched the Tenshi look at them all.

Her gaze fell to each tall machine for that was her thoughts about them, tall and machine-like. How was she to know what name they were called for where she came from they had no such machinery. After gazing at the machines a minute, studying them, she turned her angelic face to gaze over those whom she loved as sisters, even Reicheru, whom she had only known for a day. Makoto was now de-transformed and unconscious lying at the feet of the orangeish-red machine. Reicheru was close to unconsciousness laying close to the black one, and she was standing close to the blue and white one, it's mechanical arm going for it's... gun?

Wow, they're so big... she thought in awe after checking her friends conditions. She tried to spread her wings. "Itai!! Owwie... that hurts..." she cried out making a pain stricken face as two crystalline tears slid down her cheeks unchecked. She was in pain, emotionally and physically, her energy reserve was about at half. Or so she guessed it to be, either way, she felt she wouldn't be able to hold her transformation much longer.

She turned away from the enormous machines to get a better view, try to see where they were, she knew already, it didn't take a genius to figure out they weren't in their own time, because there was no way, they had this kind of technology yet. She giggled sadly. It didn't take Ami-chan's computer to tell me this. This... these machines... are everywhere... she thought looking around, she saw besides the apparatus she was standing by, debris of blown up ones were on the ground as well as more heading their way.

She was once told by Luna, and her mother, the late Queen Serenity, that when she got older and came of age, she'd get her full powers, and full control over the Silver Crystal. Now she thought that she was starting to come of age, for she felt... she didn't know how... but she felt that these machines behind her were good, and pure of their intentions and the ones approaching were the bad ones, soul less machines... Reaching out with her new powers, a sixth sense of sorts, she felt the fear and thoughts of the others, inside the machines.

They're out of ammo. They'll die fighting for their beliefs... but there's nothing they can do now... she thought sadly, turning to look over the giant machinery behind her again, her eyes stopping on the one in the middle, the one she was standing in front of, the blue and white one before turning back to the approaching machines.

"My world or not. This place needs to be protected; these people need to be protected. And I swear on the Moon as it's Princess and as it's Guardian, that I will protect them, and this world." whispering softly calling forth her heart wand, placing the Silver Crystal in the middle of it, she took a few steps forward, stopped and started to glow a silvery-gold color.

"Baka onna's! Where did they come from!?" I heard Wufei yell through the com system. I listened as Quatre tried to calm him down, and Duo exclaimed at how kawaii they all were, but badly beaten up and in need of help.

"Yes. Trowa, get the brown haired girl, Duo get the blonde, take them back to the base and get them medical attention, I'll get this one. Quatre, Wufei, use whatever ammo you have left to cover our asses."

They all nodded at their orders, before I closed the vid-com with them, watching as Duo jumped from his gundam, ran to the brown haired girl, picked her up carefully, after looking over her wounds, then running and getting back in his gundam, ready to take off as soon as Trowa and I got the other two girls.

Trowa and I jumped out of our gundams about the same time it seemed. It all seemed to start going in slow motion as I went for the Tenshi. She had walked a few feet away and stopped, I started to run towards her before the dolls started firing again. But to my surprise - Hai, surprise, though I didn't show it - she started to glow a silvery-gold. Like a semi-transparent fog had enveloped her. It seemed to be collecting in some sort of wand she held, a heart on the top with crystal settled in the middle of it. All a sudden she let loose a shrill cry. "COSMIC... MOON... STAR... SHOWER!!!" she cried as a bright light shot forth into the sky sending down hundreds upon hundreds of falling stars, with a fury they hit the mobile dolls destroying more then half of them.

I stood shocked a moment before I saw her waver and sway to one side, about to collapse. Fatigue, her injuries or energy use, I guessed as I ran forward and caught her in my arms as she fell. She was light as a feather, not one to quote bad puns, but she was... very light... and had actual wings, as I had first guessed her right one was broken at the mid joint, pretty severely too.

Kuso! picking her up and running back to my gundam, I settled the Tenshi over my back and carefully climbed up to the cockpit, gently, laying her in my chair, I stood opening a vid-com to the others. "Alright lets go. We need to get back now and figure out what to do."

"Weak onna's! We should leave them!" Wufei growled. I sent him a glare sufficiently shutting him up.

"Wu-man be nice! Shimatta man, they're like really beaten up! Who would have done this? I don't know but they need attention all the same, and you just need to shut up!" Duo yelled at him.

I tried to stop the corner of my lip from twitching into a smirk. It was funny watching Duo be this serious and yelling at the one person he ran from most... next to me that is.

"Heero and Duo are right. We need to move it quick. We've no ammo left and these three women need medical attention fast. Quatre, call ahead to Rasid and let him know of them, get the infirmary ready for when we get there." Trowa ordered Quatre, who nodded.

"Come on, let's get GOING ALREADY!!!" shouted Duo's impatient voice.

"Hnn. Mission. Completed." I stated as we all blasted off and back towards Quatre's mansion on Colony L3.


~ * ~ * ~ Duo's POV ~ * ~ * ~

As we blasted off for Q-man's mansion back on L3, I couldn't help but to look at the unconscious girl sitting slumped in my seat. She was something else. Very beautiful indeed, but badly wounded. I don't know why, but something in me changed, I wanted to find and beat the ever loving crap outta the ass that did that to her and if not a who... at least help her back to normal... she was knocked out and knocked out good. Though not when I found her.


~ * ~ Flashback ~ * ~
`

I jumped from Deathscythe Hell and ran towards the blonde haired beauty. She was badly beaten up, cuts, scrapes and blood where here and there, trinkling from their cuts, she had a few good-sized bruises starting to form. Which wasn't a surprise considering they fell from a good thirty-foot in the air. How that Tenshi over there is still standing it's a wonder, she looks more fragile then the others.

I shake my head, not a time to think about that now, just get her to safety baka! I bent down to pick her up and to my surprise her eyes were open! Well barley open, but open all the same. "Hello there! Listen I'm not gonna hurt ya or anything, I've gotta get you outta here and to safety." I told her smiling my bright smile even in the mists of a battle.

She looked confused and about to pass out. "W-who are you?" asked in almost a whisper I had to lean forward to hear it.

"Duo. Duo Maxwell. I may run, and I may hide, but I never tell a lie! That's me in a nut shell." I chuckled as she tried to give me a weak smile.

"Y-young, R-reicheru... my... my friend..." she had tried asking. I was shocked. She wasn't worried about herself, but about her friends. "They're... they're in the same condition as you... though, that Tenshi over there is in worse condition. My friends are getting them, come on we have to get outta here now!"

She nodded as I slowly bent and carefully picked her up in my arms. "T-tenshi? W-who?" her eyelids were slowly drooping promising a deep sleep. I looked into her hazel eyes with my Indigo ones and nodded to the left, then turned so she could see what I meant. I heard her take in a sharp breath in shock, and I didn't blame her... the Tenshi was beaten worse then the others, though still conscious... as impossible as that seems.

She had larger cuts and bruises on her body, her right wings mid joint was broken, you could tell 'cause of the odd angel the wing was bent at. Her angelic face was bloody from many scrapes and cuts. I silently promised if Heero hurt her anymore that I'd beat him to a pulp.

Looking down at the girl... No... a Tenshi in her own right even if she doesn't have the wings, to find her staring into his Indigo eyes as her own hazel ones started closing, soon she was in a deep sleep. Time to get goin' then. I thought as I ran back to Deathscythe Hell. Once in I laid her gently in my chair and stood waiting for the others.

Heero and the Tenshi were in; Trowa and the other girl were in also, everyone ready to blast off. Heero left, then me and Trowa, with Wufei and Quatre following to cover our asses just incase they decided to send the dolls after us again, which, wouldn't be a big surprise.

"Guys, Rasid has the infirmary set and waiting for us to arrive with the three ladies." Quatre's voice came over the line.

"Hn. Arigatou, Quatre." Heero replied.

You know, I really need to start learning whatever language he speaks... what is it? Chinese? No that's Wu-man's... Isn't Heero... Japanese! That's it Japanese! That's what I need to start learning! I laugh quietly to myself. I knew a few words, but there are still more he speaks that I don't know what the hell they mean. These and thinking about the blonde hair hazel eyed girl were my thoughts as we flew back to the mansion.

Thirty minutes later Wing Zero set down in the hanger followed by, Deathscythe Hell, Heavyarms, then Sandrock and Altron. Quatre immediately jumped from his gundam and called for Rasid. "We're back Rasid! Please have the doctors ready we're coming now!" he informed Rasid.

"Yes Master Quatre, they're ready and awaiting your wounded guests." He finished closing the link.

Quatre turned around to see everyone out of their pilots, holding a unconscious girl, or not in Wufei's case, he just look ticked that they were taking care of 'weak onnas'. He smiled slightly, a sad smile. "Come on lets go! Their waiting for them, they need to get treated and treated now. Especially that one!!" he pointed to the winged Tenshi. The others nodded and ran from the room.

Heero ran in carrying the Tenshi. Whatever other name she had, probably wouldn't suit her. Tenshi was the name just about everyone had taken to calling her, for the white angelic wings she had. She had somehow, de-transformed back into just regular ol' Usagi... with one exception... Her angelic wings stayed... They didn't go away like they normally would, and her right one still had the broken mid joint. Trowa rushed in next carrying the brown haired girl, and Duo ran in, in a panic gently laying the blonde on a bed next to the Tenshi and other girl. The Doctor then pushed them all outta the room so they could see about tending to the girls.
