Learning the hard way

Serena awoke in the morning to see all the scouts and Luna staring at her.

"What was I snoring?"

"No meatball head. But you were talking in your sleep."

"And?"

"Michael I love you come here let me kiss you." Rei taunted.

"Shut up."

"Quatre can you wake him up using your empathy?"

"I've already tried. He's not responding to anything. What do you think happened to him?"

"I don't know."

"Maybe I can help." everyone turned to see a black cat in the doorway.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Luna and I am a royal advisor to Princess Serenity and friend. I think that Sailor Saturn may have gotten her hands on him. That is why he is not waking up. Quatre, go to Serena's room and tell her that Saturn made her first move and that the power of the Silver Crystal is needed."

"Alright." Quatre turned and ran out of the room.

Serena and the others looked up when Quatre came into the room.

"Luna told me to tell you that Saturn has made her first move an that the power of the Silver Crystal is needed."

"What did she do?"

"Luna thinks that Saturn did something to Heero to make him unable to wake up. Please help him!" Quatre pleaded.

"Okay take us to Heero." Quatre smiled and then led them out of the room and across the hall. Leading them straight to Heero's side he moved to watch Serena do her work. Serena put her hand on Heero's head and then pulled back quickly.

"Definitely Saturn's handwork. He's trapped in his nightmares and he can't get out. Silver Crystal Power!" Heero's eyes immediately flew open and he flew across the room slightly terrified.

"Heero it's alright." Amara and Quatre said at the same time. Heero slumped to the floor and sighed. Looking around he finally got his bearings straight and looked around.

"I take it Amara filled you in on what was happening." he said to the other sailor scouts.

"Yeah. I just can't believe that Hotaru would betray us though. Then fake her death and then try to take over Crystal Tokyo. Or form it for that matter. Then she comes here and ruins our perfect and happy little life. What nerve." Mina stated. Heero just grinned and walked over to Amara.

"Hey you okay?"

"I'll be fine once I find out why Hotaru is doing this."

"I know. Listen Amara I'll help however I can. Okay."

"Yeah thanks Heero. I appreciate it. Now we have to go to class." This elicited a groan from several people in the room but they complied anyway. As they walked to class Heero's eyes kept wandering to Amara and then back to his feet.

After class all of the scouts and the gundams got together to talk about Hotaru.

"Do you think that we could heal her?"

"What if we can't then what do we do?"

"We could eat her."

"Duo! What the hell did you say that for?"

"I'm hungry Wu-man!"

"Baka."

"Only you Heero."

"Hn."

"Why don't you quit planning and get to the action?" Everyone turned their heads to see Hotaru standing in front of them with a slightly psychotic look on her face. Jumping up the scouts transformed and got into battle positions. Serena bit back tears and held her position. Hotaru was the first to attack.

"Silence Glaive Surprise."

"Uranus Space Sword Blaster." came the first waves of battle. As soon as the attacks collided and exploded Hotaru came right at Amara swinging her glaive.

"You know I never did thank you for raising me did I? Or thank you for trying to kill me?" she hollered. Amara just sat there quietly and dodged the attacks. Attacks, she realized, that were meant to kill. Finally pulling out her space sword she delivered a blow that sent Hotaru reeling backwards. Standing up straight they looked each other in the eye. Growling they lunged forward at each other and began to viciously attack one another. As they matched each other blow for blow they realized that they weren't getting anywhere. Hotaru decided to change her tactics and she did. Spinning around she yelled,

"Silence Glaive Surprise!" the attack headed right at Serena and the other scouts! Before Amara could move though the attack hit. Serena and the others screamed in pain and Amara could do nothing but watch. Falling to the floor she watched as her friends dropped to the ground unconscious. Turning to Hotaru she glared.

"How could you?"

"Easily." With that Hotaru left.
