Notes: I know, it's taken a long time to get this out, but I've been so
busy lately. Gah.. I'm so tired. I had such a long morning. It was
crazy!
Anyway, read and review. I hope you like it!

"Okay, we're all here." Setsuna stated. "Are you guys ready?" She asked the group that was going.
"We're as ready as we'll ever be." Minako said.
"Now, when you get to the Time Gate, watch your backs. We have no idea who could be crawling around there. Go straight to the gate. If you put your hand on the door it will open for you. After you go through the door you must think about where you want to be."
"Where do we want to be?" Hotaru asked.
"You want to be on the USS Enterprise.
"Anyway, you have to be careful to make a good impression. They will consider you intruders and will put you in the brig at first. Don't tell them anything about why you're there. Ask for Commander Spock. He's the only one you can tell."
"What kind of name is Spock?" Usagi asked.
"He's not human. He's a Vulcan."
"A What-can?" Chibi-usa asked.
"A Vulcan. They're a highly sophisticated species. They're the first alien race to make first contact with earth. They're a very serious and logical race."
"Sounds like fun people." Haruka said sarcastically.
Setsuna chuckled.
"Anyway, we should probably get going." Haruka said.
"A couple more things." Setsuna said. "When you're inside the Time Gate, you can contact me. But as soon as you get to the Enterprise, you will no longer be able to.
"Also, don't let anyone have your time keys. Not even Spock. If somebody asks about them, tell them that they're friendship necklaces."
"Okay." Haruka said and took out her transformation pen. She held it up in the air and shouted, "Uranus Planet Power!"
The others followed in suite.
"Mercury Star Power!"
"Venus Star Power!"
"Neptune Planet Power!"
"Saturn Planet Power!"
The five girls were engulfed in light, and seconds later appeared again in their Sailor fukus.
"Ready?" Uranus asked. Seeing all the nods, she took the key she had received earlier from Setsuna out of her pocket and raised it in the air.
"Crystal Key, take us to the future!" she shouted and a cloud formed above their heads and began to suck them up into it.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Captain, we're receiving a distress call." Uhura said.
"On screen." replied Kirk.
All eyes turned to the view screen where the transmission was being played. The person sending the message looked like a child about the age of 11 or 12. She looked human, Asian actually.
She was crying while she spoke, but she was speaking in a different language.
"What's she saying, Uhura?" Kirk asked.
"I'm not sure. I'm trying to translate it now."
"Captain," Sulu said from the helm. "I believe she's speaking in Japanese."
"Then why isn't it being translated?"
"I believe it is the ancient dialect. They stopped using it in Japan decades ago."
"Do you know what she's saying?"
"I understand most of it. She's saying, 'Setsuna, help me. I think they're dead. They wont wake up.'" The girl looked up and quickly stood up. "'You killed them!' I'm not sure who she's talking to now." Sulu said.
Suddenly there was a strange cackle/scream, and then the girl came back in view.
"What's she saying now?" Kirk asked.
"I'm not sure. Something about time and a gate. She's going to go through the gate and she wants to bring some people with her."
"Where's the transmission coming from, Ensign Taylor?"
No response. Ensign Taylor's eyes were glued to the view screen.
"Ensign Taylor!" Kirk snapped, getting the Ensign's attention.
"Yes, sir?"
"Where is the distress call coming from?" Kirk repeated, agitation apparent.
"Oh, um," he paused as he pushed a few buttons and then read the console. He looked up with worry in his eyes. "It's coming from the Enterprise."
"What?" Kirk turned his chair so he could face the Ensign.
"More specifically, it's coming from Transporter Room 2. There is some sort of cloud forming in there and..." he froze.
"What?"
"There are five humanoids coming out of the cloud, only one is alive." He mentally sighed in relief. `Good, only one, and it's probably the little one. Nothing I can't handle.' he thought to himself.
Kirk turned to Chekov. "Commander, take a security team to Transporter Room 2.
"Aye, sir." He said in his Russian accent, and left.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hotaru clutched her chest as she crawled over to Minako, the closest person to her. She didn't know how to check for a pulse so she just watched Minako's chest to see if it would rise and fall. It didn't.
"Minako-chan..." she whispered and took the key necklace off of Minako's neck. "Gomen nasai."
She then moved on to the next one, Ami. Hotaru did the same thing with Ami that she did with Minako. Checked to see if she was breathing and then took the key when she saw that Ami was also dead.
"Gomen nasai, Ami-chan." she whispered. If there were any tears left in her body, they'd be falling. But Hotaru had already cried them all out.
She proceeded to the next. This was getting to be harder and harder for her. Not just physically but emotionally. She felt responsible for the deaths of her friends and now she was at Michiru, the one who has been playing the role of her mother for years.
Next to Michiru was Haruka, the father figure for Hotaru.
Hotaru said goodbye to both of them at the same time and took their keys. She put all the keys she had collected into her subspace pocket.
There was nothing more she could do now but wait to die, or wait for someone to come to help her. She didn't even know where she was. She assumed she was on the Enterprise, but she wasn't sure.
She looked around, looking for a door. Finally she spotted it. She tried to stand up and walk to the door, but the pain in her chest was unbearable and she fell onto her knees. It felt like a hundred knives were in her chest and she was having trouble breathing. She looked down at her chest. The analogy wasn't far from the truth, but instead of 100 knives in her chest, there were five daggers.
"How am I still alive?" she asked herself.
Feeling hopeless and alone, Hotaru decided to take one of the daggers out and slit her throat.
She grasped one of the daggers with her small hand and was about to pull it out when she heard a strange swish sound. She looked up and saw five men run in. They all had something in their hand that resembled a gun.
Paranoid and scared, she let go of the dagger out and stood up, ignoring the pain.
"You thought you'd gotten rid of us all, but I guess you realized that you still had the Soldier of Destruction to deal with. Well, I'm alive and I'm still standing!" She pulled out her Silence Glaive.
"Miss, please, put down za veapon." one of the men asked, pointing his own weapon at her.
Hotaru smiled. "You'd like that, wouldn't you? But if I do that then it will be too easy to get rid of me. Oh, just so you know, Pluto only sent some of us. There are still more! If you kill me, she'll know and she send the others, and believe me, when they find out what you did to us, they'll be 10 times stronger than me."
"Put down za veapon or ve'll be forced to shoot you. Please, ve don't vant to hurt you. Just put it down.
"You're just saying that to make me trust you. But, you know, it's not gonna work." She began swinging her glaive around, ignoring the searing pain in her chest and called out, "Silence Glaive Surprise!" and tried to attack the men. But she was so weak now that it missed them by so much, but they, in self-defense, shot her and she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
The man who was speaking earlier stepped over to a console. "Chekov to Sickbay."
"McCoy here." came a voice from nowhere.
"I'm transporting to you a critical patient." the Russian replied.
"Understood. McCoy out."
With the touch of a few buttons, Hotaru disappeared.
Notes: What do you think? I know, I know, try to write his Russian accent was strange. Sorry. And I know it's not that long, but I'm so tired right now and I really want to post this. If I get enough positive feedback I'll write faster. Thanks a lot!
Anyway, read and review. I hope you like it!
