Matsuri: Ok. I know you're thinking, IT"S ABOUT TIME, but I just didn't feel like typing for a while. I guess that's bad, but anyway here's chapter two. Enjoy! ^_^



2 Chapter Two

"Sailor Mars Power!"

"Sailor Venus Power!"

"Sailor Mercury Power!"

"Moon Crystal Power!" The girls all transformed. Makoto raised her transformation broach.

"Are you sure?" Sailor Moon quickly asked her. Makoto nodded.

"I have to help… Sailor Jupiter Power!" The girls raced out of the apartment towards the falling buildings. People were running everywhere. It was hard for the scouts to get to the scene.

"I don't see anything!" Sailor Mars shouted over the noise. "No youma or anything!" Now they were standing in the middle of all of the commotion. People ran past them.

"The first thing we need to do is figure out why the buildings are falling," Sailor Mercury said. A blue visor appeared over Mercury's eyes. "When another building falls, I'll take in data and try to figure out what's going on."

The girls waited patiently and finally another building collapsed. Mercury quickly turned toward the building. Words flashed over the visor.

"Huh?" Mercury gasped in confusion.

"What is it?" Sailor Moon asked.

"It's energy! Pure energy, but it's coming from nowhere!"

"What do you mean it's coming from nowhere?" Sailor Jupiter asked. "Someone has to be causing it!"

"I don't…" Mercury started, but she suddenly flew back, crashing into a nearby wall.

"Sailor Mercury!" the scouts cried, running to her side. She was unconscious.

"Alright!" Sailor Moon cried. "We can't see our new enemy so be on your toes!" The scouts moved into a circle surrounding Sailor Mercury. All was silent except for the sound of their breathing. The place was completely desolate of people now.

"I think we should attack," Sailor Venus suggested.

"Attack what?" Mars whispered to her. "We can't see the enemy."

"We can at least try to hit something," Sailor Moon whispered. "The people have all run away so there are no chances that they'll get hit."

"Alright," Mars decided. "I'll go first, and then you, Venus, then Jupiter, and you last, Sailor Moon."

"Right!" they agreed.

"Mars Fire Celestial Surround!"

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"

"Jupiter Thunder Crash!" Not wanting to use full power, Sailor Moon cried, "Moon Tiara Magic!"

Their power shot forward, hitting nothing but the remains of buildings. Suddenly a bright light flashed, making the scouts shield their eyes.

"What's going on?" Sailor Moon asked. There was no answer only wild hysterical laughter.

"Don't you fools know that energy cannot hurt energy? We just blend together!" the voice echoed.

"Who are you? Where are you?" Venus cried out

"I am Visus, ruler of the planet Gacia. As of where I am… I am everywhere!" There was more laughter. Then the scouts understood. This Visus was the energy that Mercury was talking about.

"Arrrr! What do you want?!" Mars cried.

The laughter ceased. All was quiet and then, "Humans have a lot of energy. Always moving about, always doing something. But you… you few humans are strong. You carry and control way more than that of a mere human. That is why I'm here to take it!"

"But why?" Venus yelled at the brightness. "You're basically energy! Why would you need ours?!"

"To become stronger!" Visus boomed. "To rule not only my little planet, but also to rule many others!"

"NO!" Mars yelled. "We won't let you! Mars Fire Ignite!" Sailor Mar's power headed straight for the bright light, but something happened and her power paused just inches away from the light. The it turned around and attacked Mars! Mars cried out as her own power engulfed her and knocked her to ground. She moaned before falling out.

"No! Sailor Mars!" the others yelled.

"Venus Love Chain and Circle!" The chain headed for the light, but as did Mars' attack, it backfired. It surrounded Venus and tied her up. She fell to the ground as she tried to get free.

"Next?" Visus' voice yelled out.

"We can't attack him," Jupiter whispered to Sailor Moon.

"We have to try," Sailor Moon said. "I'll go next."

"It's too dangerous!" Jupiter cried, but Sailor Moon ignored her.

"Mooooon Heaaaarrrt Ace!" The giant heart moved towards the light, but instead of counter attacking, it shattered.

"Ugh!" Sailor Moon whimpered. Visus practically exploded with laughter.

"I've already won so I'll just take my prize!" Five strips of light shot of the huge one. They were headed toward each scout. The first strip of light went first through Mars' chest, then Venus', and the Mercury's. Cries of pain filled the air as their energy was slowly being taken away. Two more lights came forward for Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter.

"Sailor Moon!" Jupiter cried. Dodging her light she, she ran in front of Sailor Moon and protected her. The light meant for Sailor Moon shot through Jupiter.

"Jupiter!" Sailor Moon cried as Jupiter's scream erupted from her throat. Then everything went black.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sitting on his bed, Duo chugged down a can of beer. Hilde had not only been a lover but also a friend. Now he couldn't think of her quite the same way. All he wanted to do was get drunk and pass out.

"WuFei's not too happy, Duo," Quatre said, walking into Duo's room. He was followed by Trowa and Hiro.

"I could care less how he feels," Duo mumbled, staring at his empty can of beer.

"This attitude is not going to help," Quatre said. Duo shrugged, tossed the empty can to the floor and layed back on his pillow, his hands tucked behind his head. Suddenly a black hole formed in the ceiling over the bed.

"What in the hell?!" Duo cried, jumping from the bed. Then a blonde-haired girl in a red, white, and blue sailor fuku fell through the hole and onto the bed. She lay there unconscious. The guys were staring in shock when another hole formed over Duo and another girl with chocolate-brown hair wearing a green, white, and pink sailor fuku fell into his arms. She was also unconscious. At the same time their fukus disappeared, leaving their normal clothes. Duo blinked twice and stared at the girl he was holding. She seemed in more bad shape than the other one. Before they could utter a word, another hole formed in the wall and still another sailor stepped through.

"Ohayo. Watashi wa Setsuna, Sailor Pluto, and the keeper of time," the woman said. "I have come to request something of you."

"Request something of us?" Quatre repeated. "Like what?"

"I want you to look after these girls," Setsuna said, waving her staff. "They play an important role in their world. If anything should happen to them, all worlds will be lost."

"What kind of part do they play?" Hiro asked.

"I cannot say," Setsuna said. "It's their choice to tell you. I'll be back to retrieve them after they recover and after their ready. Until then…sayonara." Setsuna then walked back through the hole and it closed behind her. The guys stared in awe, not knowing what to say. Ready? Duo thought, looking at the girl he was holding. Ready for what?

*****

"So… what do you guys think?" Trowa asked. The guys were now in the living room again. Trowa had already cleaned up the mess that WuFei and Duo had made. Now it looked as if nothing had happened. The girls were left neatly on Duo's bed.

"They're nice looking girls," Quatre said, smiling.

"Nice looking girls, but can we trust them?" Hiro asked in his usual monotone voice.

"I don't think we have a choice," Quatre said. "We can't just throw them on the street."

"Then they'll stay," Duo said, getting up from the chair he was sitting in. He walked to the secret door leading to the mansion's huge garage. "I have to make repairs on Deathscythe." Trowa turned to Hiro.

"You do know that WuFei is not going to approve of this," Trowa said.

"Well, WuFei is just going to have to deal with it," Hiro said. "Like the rest of us." Hiro walked out of the room and then returned holding bandages and alcohol. "We have to bandage them."

In the garage, Duo worked into the night. By morning he still wasn't done. It seemed that he was missing a part from Deathscythe.

"Kuso!" he yelled, slamming his fists on the control console. Jumping down from the cockpit, Duo yawned.

"I'll just look for it later," he said. "Right now I need some rest." He walked back to his room scratching his head. Once he opened the door, he nearly jumped out of his skin.

"I forgot that they were here," he whispered, staring at the two girls that lay in his bed. He noticed that they were bandaged securely and so he figured that Hiro and the others did this. His eyes drooped as he gently closed the door. Then he plopped onto the couch and soon he was asleep.

******

"They haven't awakened?" Quatre asked, standing in front of the door to Duo's room.

"Iie," Trowa said, walking past Quatre. Quatre frowned.

"Do you think something's wrong with them?" he asked. "Maybe we should call a doctor."

"They're fine," Hiro said.

******

In Duo's bedroom, one of the girls stirred. It was Usagi. She yawned and looked around. She noticed that next to her Makoto slept soundly. Usagi's hand was wrapped in new bandages. The room she was in was unfamiliar to her. It was fairly big with large windows that opened onto a balcony. Two dressers lined the wall across from her. A few paintings were also on the walls. There was a door leading to a private bathroom. Next to her was a nightstand with a fancy lamp resting on it and in the middle of everything was the king sized bed that they were lying on. Moving slowly as to not disturb Makoto, Usagi walked on the soft white carpet to the bedroom door. She pressed her ear to it.

******

"I'll call Rasheed and see about breakfast," Quatre said. "I'm sure that they'll be hungry once they wake up."

"W…where am I?" The guys jumped at Usagi's voice. Then in walked WuFei.

"Who is this?" he asked, staring at Usagi. Usagi squirmed under his stare. She didn't feel comfortable.

"I'm Usagi Tsukino," she said, bowing.

"She and her friend will be staying here for a while," Hiro said. He was wearing his usual black spandex shorts and green tank top. He stood tall, arms crossed over his chest.

"Yeah, WuFei," Duo said, leaning on a chair. "We all agreed that they were staying so there's nothing that you can say to change it." For the first time since he walked into the room, WuFei took his eyes off of Usagi and looked at Duo. Then he began to walk out of the room towards the garage.

"WuFei," Quatre said. "Where are you going?"

"I got called on," Wufei answered, not looking back. "I have to meet Sally somewhere." Quatre nodded, remembering that WuFei was still a preventer, but it was too late to prevent anything now. Attacks were happening left and right.

"So you're name's Usagi?" Quatre said, turning to her. "My name's Quatre." He then pointed to the others. "This is Hiro, Duo, Trowa, and the guy that just left was WuFei." Usagi nodded, her eyes locked with Hiro's. It took a few seconds to break free, but blushing, she looked at Quatre once again.

"How did I get here?" Usagi asked. "Where are Ami, Rei, and Minako?"

"Dare?" Quatre asked.

"Never mind."

"This woman…" Duo started. "Uh…I think her name was Set…Set…."

"Setsuna!" Usagi cried walking to Duo. "What did she say?"

"She asked us to protect you two," Hiro said, his arms still crossed. "Protect you from what?" Usagi lowered her eyes searching for something to say.

"I…I don't think I should tell," she said. Then she raised her eyes quickly. "Yet."

"So Quatre," Duo said. "How 'bout that breakfast?"
