Having ordered two helpings of Chicken Alfredo, three shakes, and three baskets of breadsticks, Usagi was quite full. Her bottomless appetite surprised the waiter to no extent. But he obliged the couple and politely served them without question.
Afterward, the pair had left to the nearby park. They enjoyed each other's company and the scenery. The park itself was filled with colorful roses, lilies, and wild flowers aplenty. It also had a forest of trees in the center and a lake along the backside.
"Mamo-chan?" Usagi asked.
"Yes?" Slightly concerned; Mamoru wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"The dinner. Now... and everything else. I don't deserve it, and yet you still love me. Thank you."
Mamoru was startled. He never expected an answer quite like that. The way she had said it made him love her even more, though it didn't seem possible. [That's why she has a Pure Heart.] He thought. Usagi always gave without end and rarely asked for anything in return. The caring essence surrounding her affected everyone close by. It wrapped them into a warm blanket of love in which she gave off. Many had been shocked at her willingness to trust others, but the results were more that just trust. The people had actually started to care for her. Like worrying when she disappeared, or protecting her when in need. Even though she had never asked to be defended, they still did.
Mamoru smiled warmly, squeezing her tightly. "You deserve it." He insisted. "I don't know why I deserve you, though. I have done nothing remotely good enough."
A warm feeling filled her body. Usagi's eyes filled with tears of joy. "Thank you, Mamo-chan." She hugged him closer.
"Your welcome, Usa."
* * *
Okugi walked the streets. He could feel it, another target had been found. All he had to do was wait. But he wished he knew who it was in advance. [Oh well, no use worrying over something...]
RING! His communicator brought him into reality. Opening the top, he waited for the news for his boss.
"It's me."
"Hey, Boss." Okugi crept into a dark ally. "What's wrong?"
"I've targeted the next victim. Her name is Tuskino, Usagi."
"Pig-Tails?!"
* * *
Michiru and Haruka were walking back from talking to Kouhi when they hear the voices.
"I've targeted the next victim. Her name is Tuskino, Usagi."
"Odango?!" Haruka whispered harshly.
"Pig-Tails?!" Gasped the boy.
"Who's he?" Asked Michiru.
"He's from our school. His name is Okugi Kokuou."
"Oh, good. You know her. Then you should know where she is. You know what to do. If she has it, she dies. If not, we don't need her. If you want, you can just watch. Do you understand?"
"They want to kill her?!" Haruka growled. "I don't think so."
"Not in our lifetime!" Assured Michiru.
Okugi sighed. "Must we? I mean, she's so nice!"
"Yes. You know the consequences." The woman's voice was muffled and hard to distinguish. "The enemy keeps getting in the way. If we don't hurry they will find it before us. Don't let that happen."
"Yes. No matter the cost. I will find it. Even if I have to destroy the entire world to get it. I will find the Lunar Heart."
"I hope your right - for your sake. I'm counting on you. Don't fail me."
"Yes, Ma'am."
"Good." The Boss hung up, leaving Okugi to his work. He walked out into the crowd and headed toward the arcade.
"An enemy?!" Asked Haruka.
"Apparently. We sure have a lot of them this time." Remarked Michiru.
"We need to warn them."
"Right. I didn't bring that communicator though. Did you?"
"No. We'd better hurry then."
"OK. Let's go."
* * *
"Forget waiting." Growled Clotho. "I've had enough! Get her." She pointed at the girl in the park.
It obeyed. The glowing Akuma Stone grew and formed itself into a humanoid waxy monster and attacked.
* * *
Mamoru and Usagi strolled along the sidewalk and into the forest. Is was blissfully silent except for the rustling of the leaves and the beat of their walking.
An exploding tree woke them from their dream. Both turned to see an Akuma!
"Usa! Run!" Yelled Mamoru. "It's after you!"
"No way!" Usagi protested.
He pushed her. "Just do it. GO!"
She reluctantly yielded and started running away.
Too late! The Akuma blocked the path and attacked. Mamoru pushed her out of the way and into the bushes. He pulled out his new communicator and called for help. The Akuma caught them and attacked again.
* * *
"I heard Usagi and Mamoru is out on a date this evening." Makoto remarked slyly.
"Really?" Asked Minako.
"Yep."
"Lucky." Grumbled Rei.
"Jealous?" Ami asked.
"Of course not! It's just I never get to on any dates. That's all."
"Yeah sure." Minako teased.
The three continued their blackmail until a new voice spoke.
"HEY!"
Everyone turn to face the newcomers. It was Uranus and Neptune!
"Hurry! Usagi and Mamoru are in danger. Transform. I've sent Saturn, Pluto, and Galaxia ahead. We'll explain the rest along the way." Neptune persisted.
"Right!"
"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER...!"
"MARS CRYSTAL POWER...!"
"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER...!"
"VENUS CRYSTAL POWER...!"
"MAKE UP!"
* * *
"Yow!" wailed Usagi. "Help!"
The monster tossed a ball in her direction but Mamoru knocked her away, only to get caught himself.
"Mamo-chan!" Usagi called. "No!"
"Got you! Now, get her Pure Heart." Clotho laughed.
"Hold it!"
"What?!" Spat Clotho.
"The Timeless Senshi! I'm Sailor Pluto!"
"The Omega Senshi! I'm Sailor Saturn!"
"The Golden Senshi! I'm Sailor Galaxia!"
"We're here!"
"Get them, Akuma!" Clotho ordered.
"CHRONOS...!"
"SILENCE GLAIVE...!"
"GALAXIA...!"
The creature attacked them head on. Grabbing two feet, it hung Pluto and Saturn against a tree. Then attacked Galaxia.
She attacked back though. "GALAXIA INFLATION!"
The attack hurtled it into the trees.
"Did I get it?" Galaxia asked. She walked over looking for its remains. The Akuma jumped from it's hiding place and attacked from behind, pinning her into the ground.
"Get the girl!" Ordered Clotho.
It turned and fired a wax ball at her; the impact forced her into the railing. The monster twisted clay around her hands.
"Usa!" Screamed Mamoru and struggled to break free.
The others called to her, but to no avail.
"STOP!"
"Now what?!" Clotho had just about enough of this.
"The champions of justice! And protectors of the innocent! Sailor Venus!"
"Sailor Jupiter!"
"Sailor Mars!"
"Sailor Mercury!"
"Sailor Neptune!"
"Sailor Uranus!"
"Get rid of them too!" Clotho yelled.
"Yes." It responded and lunged at them. Many spheres hurtled out and pinned Mercury, Venus, and Mars into trees.
"JUPITER OAK EVALUATION!"
"SPACE TURBULENCE!"
"SUBMARINE VIOLIN TIDE!"
The attacks bounced off and repelled against them. While Uranus dodged, Jupiter and Neptune hit the ground unconscious.
Uranus swung her sword at it creating holes into it. But they just filled again! "Try this!" It offered. And punched her into the sidewalk. Then it surrounded wax around her.
"Got you! There's no one left to save you now!" Clotho teased and turned around. "What the...?!"
Usagi had used the valuable time to break free of her bonds. "I'm not going to let you hurt my friends." Usagi stood up straight. "So to save them, take my Pure Heart. Just promise you won't hurt them."
"Are you kidding?! You're actually willing to give up your Pure Heart?"
"Yes. I want to save my friends. So if you take it you won't have a reason to hurt them anymore."
"Don't do it!" Wailed Mercury.
"You can't!" Yelled Mars.
"Stop!" Venus screamed.
Uranus struggled to break free. "I won't let you!"
[Is my nightmare's coming true?! No! I won't let it!] Mamoru pulled one of his hands free, working harder to help. "Usa! Don't!"
"NO!" Galaxia kicked her legs back and forth.
"Please!" Begged Pluto.
Saturn screamed her name, "Usagi!"
"Deal!" Clotho exclaimed, "A person with your Pure Heart HAS to have it! Akuma! Get her Pure Heart!"
"Right." The Akuma pointed the claw at her. "Fire One!" It said. The claw hurtled out and embedded itself into her soul. Usagi wailed in pain, then collapsed. Her Pure Heart floated out of her body.
The Senshi screamed her name, begging for her to get up and fight. But she couldn't hear them. She was too far gone...
